Good luck WL, State - are you having a lovely lazy day?

StateofConfusion · 18/12/2012 11:16

I really wish I was, dp the total arse, ignored a sore toe for 3 months, so yesterday had to have an op for ingrown toenail, back to drs today for a dressing change oh and back again on christmas sodding eve!!!! His drs is an hour round trip from home.

I've just had to go asda for bits I'd forgotten for my bag, then back home for ds' school play, then back to the town where dps drs is to drop the dcs with my Mum.

I'm feeling very hormonal and teary today, its all a bit much and if Mum or dp tell me not to stress again ill scream.

Hi state! Thought I'd drop in to see the state of play...who's had babies? Who's due? Who's next? Iirc there were some Christmasey babies due?
All well here. Dd is nearly 12 weeks! Can't believe how the time has flown! We're so excited about her first xmas Smile

StateofConfusion · 18/12/2012 11:53

12wks already! How lovely. Glad to hear you are doing well!

Oh dear, well at least it will go in quickly if you're keeping busy? I won't tell you not to stress because that's going to be nearly impossible. Just try and find some time to relax this evening if you can.

Hi Wellies - 12 weeks already? Good grief that's gone in quick!

StateofConfusion · 18/12/2012 12:02

That's what I'm hoping, we drop the dcs off for bedtime so should have a nice quiet evening and hopefully being busy will mean I sleep better, I can hope right!

It just doesn't seem real!

A hat trick! Tabitha Stephanie born this morning, a whopping 9lb 9oz! No wonder I was so massive and immobile! They also said loads of waters and a big placenta. My word I'm glad she's out!

AlphaBeta2012 · 18/12/2012 13:30

Congratulations WLmum, wonderful, wonderful news and beautiful name!!

gemdrop84 · 18/12/2012 13:43

congratulations wlmum what a beautiful name!! how fab Xmas Grin hugs to you state can imagine things are stressful for you at the minute! hope you sleep well tonight or can at least relax a bit.

MrsReiver · 18/12/2012 14:18

Oh congratulations WL and what a beautiful name!!

elliejjtiny · 18/12/2012 14:35

Congratulations wlmum. Gorgeous name.

backwardpossom · 18/12/2012 14:50

Congratulations WLmum, 9lb 9oz - wow what a great weight! Xmas Grin Hope you're having a lovely time getting to know her! X

Had my consultant appointment. All well, he's happy to go for a section but date etc will be confirmed in 6 weeks' time. Got a scan which I wasn't expecting, so that was good! Baby is doing well, measuring perfectly for the dates. Pretty sure this one's a girl as there were three white lines as clear as day on the screen! He didn't say anything, so I'm only going on what I saw, so I wont be going out to buy any pink clothes any time soon! Xmas Wink

WLmum · 18/12/2012 15:25

Thanks ladies. She has a bit of a look of dd1 only 2lbs heavier!

Names were so tricky, DH couldn't find anything he/we liked better than Tabitha so he had to concede! He got dibs on the middle name as it after a friend of his that passed away a couple of years ago. We're also going to have his fave name (Hebe) as a 2nd middle name. I really liked Hebe but just not quite enough!

So glad all is well backward

StateofConfusion · 18/12/2012 15:45

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS WL GrinThanks

What a lovely name, and great weight! I bet its a relief to not be so pregnant anymore! My dd was 7lb6 but had tons of water and a huge placenta and I felt so uncomfortable. 9lb9oz wow! You were obviously the perfect home for her :)

Thanks for letting us know so soon, now rest up and enjoy all those much longed for snuggles. Xx

Mrsd77 · 18/12/2012 18:20

Many congratulations WL

Good luck for tomorrow state

Thanks for asking 001 (whispers) I've not had any bleeding at all for two days and I'm puking like a good 'un!! My fingers are firmly crossed!!

Glad to hear relaxing is the order of the day for you!

welliesandpyjamas · 18/12/2012 18:29

Oh, exciting times! Congratulations, WL!!!
Good vibes for tomorrow, state , will be thinking of you.

Haven't we all journeyed far together. Sigh. Smile

001001 · 18/12/2012 19:16

WL congratulations, so happy for you! Now looking forward to good news from state tomorrow, what a busy week!
Backward glad all went well, we didn't find out the sec but are having great fun trying to guess :-)
Pleased to hear sickness and nausea still abounds, all good signs, baby moving well here so feeling really positive, esp after all these new babies ( and not so new anymore babies, I'm looking at you wellies!)

BottleRed76 · 18/12/2012 20:03

Ladies

Room for a new one?
I recognise a couple of names on here from prev mc threads

Anyhoo..... Got BFP on Sunday after 2 early mc (March and July).
Absolutely shitting it....expect to see red/brown everytime I go to the loo.
Started taking baby aspirin as soon as I got BFP and hoping that together with a bit of luck this little bugger stays put!

Great to hear we have babies on this thread! Hoping the luck rubs off!

WLmum · 19/12/2012 04:17

Welcome bottle, always room for one more. Congrats on ur bfp, as you say, hope this is ones a sticker. Take heart from the likes of state, Swansea, bonzo and I who were all freaking out and now have lovely (if noisy and not asleep - hence my 4am post!) babies - or almost - best of luck state, look forward to hearing. Xx

StateofConfusion · 19/12/2012 05:45

Welcome bottle as WL said always room for one more :) we need new people to keep chatting once the grads get busy with babies!

So d-day is here! I'm so nervous! Will report back later! Thank you ALL for being there when I've needed to cry vent and rant over the past months!
