How are the preggo ladies doing?

I'm suddenly so very tired! Probably not helped by the sleepless nights. I have period type pains waking me up throughout the night - but none of them during the day, perhaps it's the way I'm lying! Braxton hicks the whole day through (which reminds me, I've left my raspberry leaf tea stewing for rather a long time and I must rescue it!). I have had no desire to nest around the house which is rather disappointing as I'd hoped I might get some things done! I have a midwife appointment in the morning but I'm sure there'll be nothing exciting to report (we don't do internal examinations here and even if they did I don't think they'd find my cervix it's so high!). I'm going to the hairdressers afterwards and then for a coffee and some shopping so looking forward to that

Princess I love the name and what a doll! Congrats to you and your family Can't wait to hear all about him!

[princesssarah34]

Thanks Ladies......he a wonderful baby....he has such a little voice I can hardly hear when he cries and he only cries when he is hungry or dirty or when we change him! He is such a good baby so far.....with one exception....he is our night owl! Hopefully we can change that in the weeks to come! The little boys just love him! DS#3 took to him right away but DS#2 was not so sure of this new person in our life.....it took him almost 2 days to finally warn up to him! And DS#1 is acting like he could careless but I have caught him a couple times stoking his head gently or like yesterday I asked him if he wanted to hold him and he said no way! Well about a minute later DS#3 asked me to get him a cookie and I said to DS#1 here hold your brother..I dont want to....I said just for a second while I get your brother cookie....fine.....and as I got DS#3 a cookie I looked over and he was talking to him real quiet. As soon as walked back over DS#1 said here take him! So even though he is acting like he could careless he really does care and is glad he is here...he just is acting like a teenager!

No news, I'm not really expecting anything until around my due date at least but I'm still symptom spotting!!

[dannikins]

well i have been nesting flat out all week, scrubbed and sorted the entire house, so at least i have all that stuff out of the way, as long as i can keep the kids locked in a cupboard somewhere so they dont trash the place.....

i wake up with the horrible cramps too, and really thirsty, and the last few nights i keep waking up, dripping with sweat, dont know what the hell thats about!!!

im having real trouble getting myself out of bed the last week or so, im just so tired, and have even fallen asleep during the day a few times, and im one of those people who cant sleep during the day for anything...

anyway, almost 37 weeks..
so we are just waiting to see when this LO decides to show up.
hoping its not while DH is working away...
he works away 3 days a fortnight, and its a 4 hour drive away.....my labours have all been shorter than that, so if i do go into labour while hes down there, the baby would be born before he even got home....
i have a back up plan in place, my mother and sister only live a few doors down, so if hes away, mum will take me to hospital and my sister will stay with the boys....but id really prefer hubby be there for the birth, especially with it being team green, i want him to be the first to know what it is....and i know my mother wouldnt be able to keep it to herself for 10 seconds....she would have it splattered all over facebook before they cut the cord.....
