ts we've gone for a walk everyday so far and i actually managed to run and roll around with the kids today

PetitFilou1 · 14/08/2008 20:39

TS Workouts? You're keen aren't you?! My workouts are 'life with three children' I suspect! lol at moon dance.

sazzles how amazing to have that picture! But no I don't want to see it yet thanks

dh says ds2 can come out anytime from tomorrow. So that's ok then

sazzles Maybe I should combine oops style nakedness in the garden with TS style moon dance while having a few cyteen style ritual tattoos. Do you think that would work? btw exactly how are you finding time to MN? (Oh yes you have a crackberry don't you)

Ladies, honestly all this chatter about moon dances have started my contractions up again. Thank you. Now if they would just DO SOMETHING instead of just bother me!!!

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 14/08/2008 21:15

norbert Rescue remedy is a fantastic calming down thing - one of the Bachs Flower remedys - you can get it pretty much everywhere now - Tesco/boots etc

may I remind you of the abuse I was getting for not having a name for Dylan for several days

dd1 had a name almost straight away, dd2 took 4 days as did Dylan

loving the dancing ladies lol

PetitFilou1 · 14/08/2008 21:36

sazzles enjoy the chinese, at least you won't get heartburn now!. I agree re mrfilou thinking I've lost the plot. I think I will avoid jiggling though as I may wap him in the face with some bit of myself by mistake

I'm off now before said mrfilou complains of me being 'on neurotic mothers' again

ChaCha · 14/08/2008 22:12

LOL - I enjoyed that catch up!

Twi Surfer - it's ok and thanks. i only suggested a p/n thread as i didn't feel it fair to discuss certain after birth issues particularly for 1st timers and didnt want to bore everyone with it here knowing what its like to be 'in waiting'. nothing at all to do with dislike and thanks PF, had obviously missed previous msg. will go and sit in the corner now

bealcain - how u enjoying 3? dh is working till late mostly - bedtime is the v.hard part at moment

no news from ilana?

iliketosleep · 14/08/2008 22:17

Well i had my 'burst' of energy and......nothing

I have had some cramping on and off all day but it always turns out to be of the toilet kind

So I will wait for Saturdays full moon and dance around naked in the garden chanting lol

Am also planning on the "What got her in, will get her out" Although DP feels abit as he knows what its for lol

Who says romance is dead???

libbyssister · 14/08/2008 22:22

Hi all, congrats on all our births in the last few days! Lovely news.

Ever since they turned the baby round I've been in quite a lot of discomfort. The baby's movements seem a lot more jabby and I feel like I'm gonna piss myself every few minutes. Not getting much sleep either.

But still happy to have the baby baking in there for a little while yet. Spent the whole day doing admin and accounts for my Brownie pack today while DS was at nursery.

Time is running out! Argh.

Really should write SOMETHING in that Birth Plan section of my notes, too...

Sausageandmash · 14/08/2008 22:45

Good God Sazzles, that pic sounds amazing. Can't believe that that might be me tomorrow! Expect more radio silence from me but will post when I'm home, with, hopefully a little bundle of (tremendously tiring) joy!

Libbyssisters - I take it you've had an ECV - hope little one doesn't decide it likes being 'wrong' way round!

Congratulations to all of you have had your babes and lots of good luck to those impending.

To TS,FHLH and all those who have been teetering on the brink (for ages I know!) I wish you labour v. soon - it def. feels like you deserve it. Happy and productive moon dancing to all.

KnockOffNorbert · 14/08/2008 23:27

Righty, must write it down and make sure I have time to get it- thanks DD !

Not sure I have the energy to dance baby out ATM (well, TBH it's mainly I don't want to wake the neighbours... wooden floors and all that ) - I scrubbed the bathroom to try and get moving abit more, but baby must be sleeping. If I had a bloomin' bicycle pump I could pump up my birthing ball and go spcae hop around on it, but I don't. Why on earth don't they just make these things blow-up-able?

Righty, off to either have a bath or go to bed, whatever door I fall thorugh first I guess. Fingers crossed it starts (well, maybe after at least 4 hours sleep now)

Nighty night all x

Sibh · 15/08/2008 00:34

Hi all. Lovely to hear about new babies. Hello to Tess and Lexie.

The news here is that Eibhlín Grace arrived at 6:53am on Wednesday 13th, three hours after we arrived at hospital (her name is pronounced Evv-lyn). The tens machine was fab and after a third degree, and second degree tear with the first two I had no tear this time which has been a blessing and a surprise.
DD2 was only 7lb and half an ounce which after 9.7 and 8.13 was a bit of a surprise.
She seems tiny. She is also roaring again in the background so must go.

I'll catch up again soon. Good luck to FHLH and everyone else still waiting. Got to run (or best attempt)

libbyssister · 15/08/2008 00:53

Fantastic news on your daughter, Sibh! Well done you!

Must go and TRY to get some sleep...
Night night.

AnnVan · 15/08/2008 01:11

{{{{twilight sets the buffet table with fruits, bagels, eggs, bacon, sausage, juice, tea, & coffee}}}}

Figured this might be a long day so decided to set out a full meal to start it.

A MASSIVE contraction woke me from my sleep at 1am (EXACTLY). Thought I was going to vomit. Part of the contraction has subsided but part of it hasn't. Just trying to make heads or tails of this round of fun.

If I post and run please don't worry, you know I'll return again with some crazy story.
