littlesarah - So exciting!!! If your contractions were coming fast at 1.30am and it is now 6:50am, then I'm guessing there may well be an evenlittlersarah or evenlittlersam craddled in your arms by now. I do hope your home birth is/was going well. How perfect everything turned out timewise, finish degree, spring clean house, have baby.
Ineed - I love your story and am so happy for your all and your little 'miracle girl'. Gorgeous picture of your son and Emily together. They change so quickly when they are so young, it's wonderful opportunity to take lots of pictures isn't it.
bigcar - I love your pictures too. Hoping you are still barely lifting a finger.
effie - pleased to hear you are home, and hear that Rupert is making progress, if slow at times. He must be a little 'fighter'. Thinking of you and thanks for the update.
naat - good luck with the MIL, if she is as terrifying as you say, your LO daren't come out I suspect!!!! He might wait until the coast is clear
bunny - glad to hear you are unplugged and here's hoping there's more activity. Btw - love Diana - it is a timeless name.
mrsmcjnr - you are committed, typing away as you rock on your ball. I get tired/bored so quickly on mine. I'm never quite sure if I should be bouncing gently up and down, gyrating back and forth or going around in circles. Yes dd was 6 days over and didn't look at all 'late' either. The methodology is a bit 'off' at times.
Speaking of which erm, interesting about the due dates thing. I wonder if they are over cautious on dates too.
insy - I so want to borrow your mother. Not having any help does make me cranky at times, as I can get so tired. I am used to it, but I worry that I snap a bit more at my dd than I really should at the moment - not in a horrible way, but with that 'edge' in my voice that didn't used to be there - I know it is the tiredness. I never used to. Loving the rain too. DH is really annoyed coz he wants sunshine during paternity, but I was finding the heat unpleasant at this stage of the game.
choccie - my dh isn't too bad with his blueberry and will ignore it unless it is really important or we have had an argument . He would much rather give dd a bath or read a story than do any work, which is nice. But I know what you mean. I would like to sabotage it sometimes. Do you think he uses it as a means of 'escape into the peaceful zone' or is he just really into his job. It's horrible the way some people work constantly on holiday - one example - corporate lawyer in 5 star resort in Tunisia, sitting by the pool emailing almost continuously back to the office. I mean nicer atmosphere to work in, but what happened to 'stopping' and 'relaxing'.
silk - a massage...ooooooooo...thank sounds loverly.
hello roseability and ebeson.
Well at least I'm getting really used to waking at 5am. Baby barely disturbs me during the night, so I have high hopes that he might be a good sleeper. DD in the womb was very active during the night time.
Lots of cramping and BH for the past 24 hours (3 weeks on this is getting boring!!), and thankfully no scary wild activity from LO like Thursday night.
Last night my dd told me that my tummy had to 'break up' and that the baby was coming tomorrow....well dh and I were totally wrong about it coming last week so lets see if my 3yr old has better intuition than us.
As my baby engages/disengages all the time and at 40week mw appointment was 'free' I have to go to hospital as soon as my waters break (if they go early) as there is apparently risk of prolapsed cord. So I never would have got the homebirth I was considering, so good I never got my hopes up over that.
Tonight at 1am, exactly 9 months ago, my little ds was 'created' (conceived). Wouldn't it be crazy if he came about that time!
Have a lovely day. lol
