Due sept 08 come on babies!

[barnpot]

space was getting a bit short

i just can't wait to have my kid.

btw. is it ok to have a fever this late in my pregnancy? this fever is different to my stills fevers (it's not going away) whereas my stills fevers go away after about an hour.

Congratulations digital!!! they're coming thick and fast now...

First monday morning with no work and it feels very strange...

ITS SEPTEMBER LADIES [GRIN]

Congratulations digital

how exciting debi

Well i thought this baby would be here by now my ds was born at 38 weeks he would have been 6 days old now.

Its my first wedding anniversary today and dh and i are going out for dinner tonight lets hope the baby stays put untill after my dinner

oh wow - DG - that is fab news! Congratulations - feel like I have followed your pregnancy all the way from your horrendous threatened miscarriage on holiday way back when to this fantastic outcome! Hoorah!

Am also very that you are early!

YEAH congrats Digital

debithescot has had a wee boy 8lb 10oz at 8.08am this morning they think he'll be called Andrew

Wow - two new arrivals! Congratulations to Digitalgirl and Debithescot. How funny to think they will be in different school years! DG how did you manage to post from the hospital? Do they have a computer there? Or do you have some clever Blackberry-like device?

I'll update the list in a minute.

Congratulations Debi and Digital on your boys! Should start coming thick and fast now...

Oh and eandz given that they've already told you you've got an infection isn't that likely to be the cause of the fever? If you are worried why not call NHS Direct or your doctor? Better safe than sorry.

Digitalgirl Well done. That is the easiest labour so far. I am so pleased you feel great and are about to go home.
Welcome to the world little man!

Not sure if the first four on the last list are still with us as they are not on the days left list - if not then Lolliheart you are due next!

Digital I can't believe how early you are! You were due after me even before I queue-jumped by booking a CS! Wonderful news though and a nice healthy weight.

Debithescot he's not so wee! Bet that feels better!

Congrats DG and Debi! V of early arrivals, even though I've long resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to be late - seems to run in both sides of the family...

It's just taken me about an hour to catch up on posts since saturday - we are all saying far too much as we impatiently await our arrivals!

Lollipopmother sorry I got your nickname mixed up with Lolliheart. Of course you are next! And congrats on the wedding anniversary, hope you have a nice nice out.

Potxola Hola!

night out I mean, can't type this morning!

digital congrats so very pleased for you, any names yet? well done you sound like you did it really well

debi can't wait to here bout your arrival

lolli you must be exhausted today you poor thing, hope you get chance to catch a few zzzz's today

dp has taken dd up to scotland to see his brother and cousins today, i couldn't go as have scan and active birth class later, can't believe have whole day to myself scan not til 5 and class after so planning on doing NO house work and having lovely soak in bath. want to make most of it as think it will be a very long time til have another child free day.

hope everyone else has a nice day xxxxxx

Jearund The Arnica I took it the night before and then just before the surgery.4 times a day and it really helped. Just dissolve it under the tongue. It takes ages. Re. Dummies. The only ones she is taking are the mums Avent are too big for newborn.
Lorea is with me in the Close baby carrier while I write this.
After the surgery if you have asked for skin to skin contact they take you to a private room , you take the gown they given you off and put the baby on your chest, He will start breastfeeding straight away, you will see.
My dh is laughing about the Potxola choice of nickname. (Pochola)

The MW came yesterday and she has dropped a bit more than 10% of her weight in 3 days.It is because she could not feed well after her first feed because she had taken in too much funny substances from my pain killers for too long. Anyway another Mw will come home now and if she has not put on any weight we wll have to go to the neonatal unit today and stay there.Whatevet it takes, at least they will help her there.
She has been feeding a lot and I can already see how fantastic is for her to be in this carrier. She has problems sleeping in the crib because of the wind, so it is great she is sleeping now. It might be colic, but it is too early to tell. It is awful to see her screaming like that and there is nothing I can do. The dummy helps her relax, otherwise she panics when the wind hurts her tummy.( i know what it feels like. that happened to me at the hospital) By the way if that happens, ask the MW for pepermint water. It does help ....if they come when you call them
The Mw agreed with me about the dummy. It is either that or hear her scream in pain.

Lots of luck girls.
I am going to feed her now. I am leaking....

another HOORAY!!!..... to Debi and welcome to Andrew

Cogratulations Digitalgirl and Debithescot!!! And thank you clayre for letting us know.
All these babies coming thick and fast! Can't wait! Got a while to wait though! Mine will turn up in october I'm sure!!

HUGE congratulations to Digitalgirl and Debithescot and to your gorgeous little bundles!

just caught up with posts, congrats debi, not so wee though

potxola (which I can now pronounce properly - I had thought the x was like a Spanish J) - thanks for answering my questions. So with the skin to skin are you lying down on your back and he manages to latch on just lying on top of you? It's hard to imagine because your breasts are flatter when you lie on your back!

Thanks for the tip about the dummies - if we need them I'll send DH out for MAM newborn. We have a Sainsbury just near the house so it should be easy enough for him to get them.

Worrying about the effect of the painkillers. I don't remember having any problems with DD after my emergency CS. I had every painkiller going! When it hurts that much I think you just have to. So I guess there's not a lot you can do about it. . At least she is feeding now though. Glad the carrier is working out. I've never tried a sling. We have a Babybjorn but you can't sit down with it on so I don't think they are very practical for round the house.

Nearly DD's (and my!) nap time. DH is asleep after a night shift. I've been really lazy this morning and put kids tv on for her and it seems to be keeping her entertained while I sit here with my feet up! . Oh well, I don't do it very often (so far!)

potxola hope things go ok with weighing today, sorry to hear she's having wind pain. x
