As if I left seconds before Schulte came on with her broken waters! How exciting
Nutty, you know that you're more than deserving of every kind word you'vew received here - you too have been a tremendous source of support &, often despite the odds, laughter. I'm so, so happy that you're finally getting your baby today xxx
Shame about Kitty's HB Still - they don't have drugs at home (I'd have died without my epidural, so it's not all bad!) After 40 hours & only 2cm, there wasn't much choice so far as I can see. Poor Kitty. & no bolero?!
Sarah I don't have anything to add, but I wanted to send you some virtual hugs & chocolate. I hope you get good news from your appointment today.
WFH & Puzzle, thank you. I know it won't be forever - even today is better than yesterday (I just don't know what was wrong with him yesterday; it was like he was possessed) & he managed to sleep for 3.5 hours straight last night, which is about 3 times more than he usually manages (probably after being so hellish yesterday!), so I feel a lot better. Plus my new breastpump, bought in desperation, arrived this morning. So I am feeling more positive. But I don't feel like a real person anymore. I feel like a milk dispenser & little else. My fanjo's still really sore, he's always clamped to my breasts & I already don't remember how to talk about anything but babies. Logically, I know that it'll get better, but it's a lot to get my head around.
I also manage to be really annoyed with him and find him cute at the same time. How do they do that?! & even though I'm dying for him to get a bit older & more interactive & less demanding in the most fundamental ways (I know he'll be very demanding for quite a while ) I'm also really sad at the idea that he's not going to be so lovely & tiny forever. It's enough to make my head explode!
Trist, I totally understand what you mean - it's so annoying when you know that your body's making progress & it hurts, but things aren't actually happening. It's a serious test of patience xx
Yaaaay for Lulu! Another big baby, too! Must've been all those Mini Eggs we were all eating...
Clean house? It looks like a bomb's gone off. It's beyond funny. & we have a flat inspection today I'm going to make sure that I'm feeding when I let them in, just to make a point.
"The day you deliver, outside will be hazy. Your baby will arrive in the late night. After a labor lasting approximately 15 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 7 pounds, 14 ounces, and will be 21 inches long. This child will have dark violet eyes and curly brown hair." ... Erm, not quite
Rachel, your LOs are so adorable! You're a lucky mummy! & impressive weight gain!
