Bonkers Babies

Myjobismum - Naomi Caitlin 21/9/08 5lb10oz (DS 3YRS old)

PLease update when you get a chance - HM2J - have you had that darling baby yet ????????

Hi all,

I hope everyone had a good w/e.
Flying visit as work is still mental v busy and likely to remain that way until Xmas. Not that I'm complaining.

At the moment we are bracing ourselves for the big artery doppler scan 25 Nov - if all is well (fingers crossed, fingers crossed) we MAY look at prams and cots some time soon - even finger some little baby clothes.

Afternoon all,

No baby yet I'm afraid....it's a very strange time, I'm sitting around at home not really sure what to do with myself. I know it could be another 2 weeks yet.......but I really really really hope not!! I have had curry this weekend, dtd yesterday and spent about 40 mins bouncing on my gym ball, but none of that has encouraged the baby out yet!! Have got a packet of raspberry leaf tea and may have a cup this afternoon, even though I hate herbal teas. Does anyone have any great tips for bringing on labour?

Hope everyone else is ok, lovely news about those strong kicks CE, it's so exciting isn't it?!!

MJIM - 8 weeks already! Can't believe it!

Ceebee - only 3 more days, bet you can't wait!

Waves to everyone else....

Morning all,

Juanitad - hopefully your little bean will come soon! This is such an exciting time! How are you feeling about it all? Ready?

It's pouring with rain (again) here!! yuck! We get DH sperm result tomorrow. Aaah!

Bluestar x

bluestar-one more day then you can plan accordingly.

-ive OPK's still but temp rise today. Despite 'dying' with my cold we managed to send some troups in. Think I may have to suggest again tonight as it might be OV day even though OPK's are -ive.

Off Christmas Shopping again and meeting mum and dad for lunch in a pub. Better dose up on paracetamol to give me strength.

Might be today juanitad.

Big wave!

Morning everyone

Good luck to those TTC'ers that are coming up to OV time - maybe this month will be the month

Juanitad it won't be long now - hope you are managing to enjoy your last few days of 'freedom'

Hi to everyone else!

DH has had to go away with work today until tomorrow evening - talk about bad timing!!! He gets back tomorrow evening and then we have to be at the hospital first thing Thursday morning - it is all becoming very real now and I am starting to get nervous.

Anyway, breakfast time for me!

Morning all,

No change here....still waiting!

BSL - good luck with the results of the sperm test, keeping everything crossed for you.

ceebee, lots and lots of luck for tomorrow. Can't wait to hear all about the new arrival.

Hope everyone else has a good day.

Wow, Myjob!! Poor little Naomi! I bet it was all a worry, so glad she's ok if a bit sickly!

Juanitad - well, I guess the next days are all about getting as much rest as possible!

Ceebee - I'm getting excited now...only a few days and we'll see more newborn pictures! yay!

HC - looing forward to finding out one way or another now. How's the cold??

Bluestar x

MJIM - awww poor Naomi! You must have been worried sick you poor Mummy! I guess you just need to keep a close eye on her for the next few days. Good excuse to have lots of cuddles!!! Hope she is all better soon xxxx

Junaitad - no baby yet! I can't believe it! Every day I come on expecting you to have had it! Are you getting a bit fed up now? I expect you just want to meet him/her now! Try fresh pineapple was it I heard?????

HC - very stoic sending in the troops even when poorly. Here's hoping to a definite ov day so you can spot symptoms this month. Fingers crossed xxx

BSL - good luck for the sperm test results tomorrow. I will be thinking some positive vibes for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ceebee - can't believe it has got so close now!Keep busy with ds while dh is away and it will be thursday before you know it!!!!

Mandy - how lovely to be looking at cots and prams. It is nice to hear you sounding so positive and looking forwards to baby arriving

Hoping HM2J (and Zack) and all our other ladies are well xxxxx

I am getting fatter by the day! (Actually I think I am going to be enormous!). I had a mw app yesterday and I have put on 12 lbs!!! and I am only 21 + 2!!!!!! She said baby is just above average size for dates and womb is just above belly button! Average weight gain for whole pregnancy is about 2 stone right - so I'm def going to put on more than that! What do you guys think?!?!?

Oh MJIM-how worrying for you. Poor little girl. Remember taking DD2 at 3 weeks when she had a bad cold/cough. Was distraught for her.

ChocEclair-you are blooming my dear, blooming. Fat doesn't come into it and if you can't eat what you want when PG then when can you. I hope I get a definite OV day as last month I never even got to do a PG test. Have withdrawal symptoms.

My cold is just a cold now with the fluey feeling almost gone.

Hope all OK.

MJIM so Naomi is poorly - she is still so little and it is awful knowing you can't make it better for them and you just have to ride it out!

BSL good luck tomorrow - will have fingers crossed that you get good news

CE 12lbs at 20+ weeks does not sound excessive to me at all (I have put on at least 2 stone, if not more). If there is ever a time a woman does not need to worry about her weight, it is when she is pg (bear in mind I have just eaten a third of a tub of Ben and Jerry's icecream so I am not the best role model )

HC you could always just pee on a pg test for fun you know

Lol ceebee-the thought did cross my mind ya know.

Thanks for being nice about me being fat blooming!!! I think I might try not to eat so much chocolate/sweets esp on an evening and see if that helps! Meals are very healthy so that is not a problem.

welcome to hannahlouhoo - hoping it's a BFP today but if not then stick aorund - we need a few more ttc'ers!!!

BSL - thinking of you guys today. Good Luck.

HC - you get peeing if it makes you happy!

Waves to everyone else xxxxxxxxxxx

hannahlouhoo-any news?

Off to hairdressers and Tescos today.

Laters!

Morning all

Welcome Hannah - any news this morning?? Even you do get a BFP, please stick around - we are a v friendly bunch

Last day of 'freedom' today and I was awake for about an hour last night thinking of all the things that must be done today before the baby arrives - funny how they weren't that important last week

Am feeling a bit though today as I am dreading being away from Josh - I know that sounds a bit wet but I have never spent a night away from him! He is such an adaptable little boy, he probably won't even notice but still.........I am dreading that part more than the op itself!!

Am trying to decide whether to say a proper goodbye to him in the house before we set off tomorrow and let DH take him into nursery - or whether I should take him into nursery in the morning and say bye to him then?? Am thinking in the house as I will probably be crying my eyes out - what do you think?

Sorry for the me me me post

Come on baby, where are you.......? I had the raspberry leaf tea yesterday, it was yucky!! I also did some research and it turns out that it doesn't bring labour on, but in can make the second stage of labour shorter, but really you need to have drunk quite a lot in the last few weeks of pregnancy, so I'm thinking that just the one cup might not make much difference!

CE - don't panic, I think I had put on more than that by 21 weeks. My grand total weight gain to date is 3 stone!!! I'm usually 9 stone and now 12! I'm not over the moon about that, but I figure that my body needs all that extra fat and fluid etc and I'll deal with getting rid of it once the baby is here. Now is not the time to be dieting! And even though I have put on that much weight, I don't think I look too enormous, so it's all fine.

hannahlouhoo, lots of luck this cycle - this is a lucky thread, so even if it doesn't happen this cycle, I'm sure it's just a matter of time...

ceebee, enjoy last day of freedom! Maybe we'll share tomorrow as birth-day, I don't feel like it's going to be today, so maybe tomorrow. Lots of luck, I'll be thinking of you.

MJIM - hope Naomi is starting to perk up.

BSL - any news?

TO anyone I've missed, hello, hope all is well.

Juanitad - I really really hope for your sake that our babies share a birthday - that would be lovely. I remember only too well from having DS how bad the waiting is - he was a week late and each day felt like torture!! Sending you lots of positive labour vibes - and there are things you can try you know - curry, sex......

x

Juanitad, I hope baby arrives soon for you. Having just been through it, I remember only too well how long each extra day is. Try not to wish them away though because now there are not enough hours in the day, lol!

Ceebee, enjoy your last day. I am so excited for you to meet your new baby boy. These bonkers babies will be arriving thick and fast now! I can't help with advice for your ds1. When ds2 was born, we were already in hospital for a trace after a tumble. We weren't expecting to have a baby that day, but things kicked off fast and ds1 was in the gardens with dh making daisy chains, lol! Then, this time I was too far into the process and concentrating hard on not pushing (birth story in birth announcements section, very long!) to even be aware of what was really going on around me. I did open my eyes long enough to look at the boys while being carried down the stairs by the paramedics, but they were watching the tv and I didn't want to scare or worry them. I hope someone else can offer you some advice. Other than that, best of luck! Can't wait to hear all about him and see some pics!

MJIM: Sorry to hear that Naomi is poorly, poor little lamb. It sounds like you had a terrible scare yesterday. I hope she feels better soon.

Welcome Hannah! I hope you get your BFP soon.

Waves hello to HC, BSL, CE, Mandy, Soosy, Majormoo. Sorry if I missed anyone.

Zack is doing well. He had his first fussy evening last night, but his day was fairly messed up yesterday with a dr's appt that I got muddled up with, so a wasted journey and the the HV showed up unannounced at lunchtime which made things hectic. Hoping that is was a one off, but wouldn't be surprised if he gets colic, my other 2 did. At least he is good at night, but we are co-sleeping (which I swore I would never do). Ideal I would like to move him to his moses basket/cot as soon as he can go a decent stretch at night without a feed. I can't believe he will be 2 weeks old on Friday, it's going so fast
