October Chit Chat for Ladies Due in Sept/Oct/Nov

[Mochagirl]

What I do like about it is that it really hides my tummy without adding extra bulk. I just don't like the sleeves. I wondered if maybe I wore a cardigan over it I might like it more. I also have no idea what to wear on my legs. It's getting a lot colder here, so bare legs aren't an option. I tried it on with my patterned black nylons, and they looked way too formal for the bamboo dress. I have a pair of black, low-heel pumps I was going to wear.

Congrats Pinkin!! Wow, you were already 7cm and didn't know it? That is crazy! Glad the induction went quickly--not at all like mine--mine took about 36 hrs!

7 lbs is a great weight. So glad all went well!! Are you feeling better now that he is out? Please post pictures!

Congrats Pinkin!!! Sounds like everything went perfect!!

[ladybug]

Congrats Pinkin!!!! I am so glad everything went perfectly .....I guessed his exact weight too...lol..Glad your home and getting settled with your new precious bundle...Hope you are finally getting relief from that horrible itch!

Can't wait to see a picture, Pinkin!! I bet he's adorable. Hope your recovery is going well!

Butterfly, in my mind I sometimes change DH to something else as well, but I'd better not say it as it is not very nice!!
Auroara, I bet your DH will be fine once Lillian is older. It is just hard to remember there is an end to the sleep deprivation when they are so young and helpless. Don't forget men can suffer from post natal depression too, so keep an eye on him.
Mocha, I like the online dress. You could add heaps of accessories to jazz it up and the feeding access is a great idea. I love how it skims over the tummy area...I will be needing styles like that soon! I don't buy anything anymore unless I will be able to wear it when I am feeding.
Had my last day of work yesterday, just in time for DS2 to be sick. So much for me to start getting organised. And DH is fishing all day today on a charter.

Hey Girls will post a pic today!
I am so tired my milk has only really come in today and my boobs are HUGE and so sore!! Oliver is asleep now but last 2 nights has been so unsettled I have only had 4 hrs sleep in 2 nights! I just hope he settles soon now that my milk is coming in...
I think the baby blues have hit me a bit today....

[TTC5]

The blues sux hey!!

hiya everyone! just popping in to say that my little boy, Oscar, arrived 2 weeks early on 29th Sept and weighed a whopping 8lb 3oz (whopping because I'm only 4'11" myself). I got the birth I hoped for - a water birth in the birth centre with no pain relief at all, and it was a fantastic experience. I got to reach down into the water and pick him up myself!!
here's a picture my sister took at the weekend:

OMG How did I miss this!? I've been thinking about you and talking about you on here knowing you were close to delivery! Rainbow my friend, just look at all that hair he is one handsome little sweetheart! Did you get a video of your DS meeting him for the first time? You are an amazing woman to be able to experience childbirth in it's entirety! I admire your strength, and I've missed seeing you on GD. I hope this little man melts your heart and is the light of your life and that you absolutely enjoy watching two brothers play, bond, and grow up together!

Pinkin, I'm sure Oliver will be a happy chappy now that your milk has come in. Boys love the boob! I wondered if mine would ever get off it sometimes!
