Gorgeous pics of your little bundles of blessings ladies, can't wait for mine to arrive now :) x
HUGE snowstorm here for us today. I asked to go home from the hospital early yesterday and good thing I did! We would have been stuck. Sorry for the delay in pictures but I've had a headache and haven't gotten around to it yet but will soon. I've had very little sleep and am having huge breastfeeding trouble as usual. Went to just pumping and supplementing but pumping hurts as I already have blood blisters :sad: Ugh I hate feeling like I failed at things, poor baby teddy.
You havent failed Rosie, please dont feel that way!! I know all too well the struggles with feeding. You're doing all you can and Teddy wont know any different and will still be a happy healthy baby regardless of how you feed him. I hope you're feeling better soon, will see pics when you have time hun. Rest up.
HBP Willow is just beautiful!! You're right though, how quickly they seem to grow :( I cant believe she is 6 weeks already x
What are the issues you're having, Rosie?
Rosie...you absolutely did not fail! You are doing great! Breastfeeding is HARD. Be gentle on yourself, you only had a baby two days ago! I hope it gets better/easier all around. I am sure teddy thinks you are doing wonderfully :)
Mummypink: I bet you pop out a baby super quick and very soon. It seems like women who have a bunch of false starts and lots of discomfort have really easy and quick labors. So I hope it's true for you! And soon. I bet you are beyond ready.
And gosh, these babies are gorgeous. It makes me hateful about being due so late in the DDC. Lol. I obviously don't want a baby now, it's too soon. But I really love seeing all these sweet snuggly babies. I want to cuddle one (or all of them!). I seriously am not going to make it through this next month without going insane. Lol.
In a totally, totally unrelated question: can I ask for some GD advice? I have a friend who is preggo and just had a sono at 13 weeks. She has two sons and is dead-convinced this one is a girl. I obviously would LOVE for her to have a girl. She has not even considered it would be a boy (the pregnancy was a surprise and they actually found out fairly far into it, past 10 weeks). But, the nub is obviously rather boy. I haven't said anything. And don't know if I should. I don't think I would say something about the nub in particular, but I wonder if I should mention considering it is a boy or that I have some darling boy clothes I would love for her to have if its a boy (seasons are off from her other two) I feel a bit bad, all of her friends and family are really banking on it being a girl and saying all kinds of things on Facebook. I feel like maybe she is in for a hard fall if it is a boy. And I wonder if she *needs* someone to offer support and/or mention support for having another boy. I wonder if she is putting on a show of being sure it's a girl for her family...but then what happens if she hears blue? I obviously don't want to overstep my bounds. Would you say something to her? Publically? Privately? About gender at all? Or just let the chips fall as they may?
Hbp she's a beauty.
Rosie it's so hard. I'm struggling too. My teddy just wants feeding every hour or hour and half it's driving me mad I'm soooo tired plus my boys are still on there hols really not sure how I'm going to cope next week with ds3 when there back at school.
Hotdogs personally I wouldn't mention it. It very hard to talk about gd even with your closest friends and you never know she maybe having a dd. xx xx
sorry to butt in hotdogz's post just caught my eye. I was like that with ds3 i was so sure he was a girl and it was such a hard and painful place to fall from but then i'm not sure pointing it out would help, especially as you are getting the thing she so desperately wants - with emotions running so high during pregnancy you really don't want her to turn on you. I could really have done with someone keeping my feet on the floor with ds3 but as hard as my family tried i wouldn't listen i was so sure i would get my dream just like everyone else (and we had swayed - ig style), there were 7 of us pregnant at the same time with 2 boys already, i was the only one who a third boy. It felt like they rooting for us to fail and was so hurtful. Things may work out for her but it will be a hard place to fall from if not. Maybe just keep telling her how pleased you are for her and not focus on the gender thing - of her baby or yours (she won't turn to you if you are excited and doing all girly things either). I wouldn't mention the nub but when you come close to 20 week scan just point out your there for her whatever the gender if she wants to talk
Hotdogz its a tough situation. It depends how close you are as friends. I would mention about the nub theory being online and let her do her own research. If she does she may start thinking its a boy, if she doesn't just let the chips fall as they may.
Thank you for thinking of me, Bimby. :)
Our rainbow is a beautiful baby boy!!! Castiel Inias chose his birthday 4/9/13, 11:30pm @ 38.4 weeks, it was a 2 hour labor which resulted in a VBAC. I called my midwifery doula, believing it was just not a big deal/ early labor but wanted her opinion on what I should do. She came over but by then I was a howling mess in a fetal position on the floor. Everything went pretty quickly after that, we made the decision to go to the hospital. I started throwing up quite a bit (sorry tmi) and still somehow made it to her car. My mom had been called while I was sick and arrived just in time to gather the boys and would meet us at the hospital. Once inside, I was in way to much pain to really talk and my doula was AWESOME with the staff, while DH tended to me. The nurse was really sweet and the OB was a nice one, I lucked out. Once my chart was pulled up and they saw my scar type, I was informed about the 'risks', said that she would suggest still having a c-section... but she also pointed that I pretty much labored, was fully dilated at that point, what did I want to do. I told her if things took a turn, I would have a c-section no problem but since all was well, I wanted to push. Okay, let's have a baby was her response. She broke my water, I screamed Cass out and he was born within a few pushes. I feel bad for screaming so much but man that HURT! I needed a couple of stitches but all 6lbs 9oz of him was totally worth it. This has been such a long and emotional road, thank you for allowing to be a part of this great group.

Oh TT he is SO beautiful! Congrats on the VBAC too, it makes his entrance into the world that much more special since it was able to happen! Do some newborn pics! I'd love to see them!
Congratulations TT :) He is a spunk!
Congratulations TT on your gorgeous little boy x
Congratulations tt he is beautiful xx xx
Thanks for the words of wisdom ladies. I think I am gonna stay out of it and just hope she has a tricky girl baking or that she seeks support if she does fall hard. It's a tough place to be in, I am sure.
And look at that gorgeous little man! Huge congrats TT. He is really, really beautiful. And such a neat name!
TT your little man really is beautiful. Congratulations he is so cute.
TT add him to the list of beautiful babies in this group. Congrats to you!!! Great job ladies...keep them coming!!!
MP how are you hun??? Im hoping that you are holding you beautiful little baby now xoxo
Oh wow congratulations TT!! He is beautiful and I am so happy for you, my little cerclage friend!
Winni, how are you?? x
Thank you so much everyone! :) Looking forward to more babies on this page!! :D
Butterfly- A pretty good photographer took some newborn pics before we left the hospital and I will post when the package gets here. We plan to have more taken soon. :)
Winn~ ((hugs)) Cant wait until your update, fellow cerclage buddy! ;)
It's so super quiet in here all of a sudden :) We have some busy ladies :) Any news from our due soon ladies?
Not much happening with me, yesterday I felt like bubs was burrowing her head into my pubic bone allllllll day. Constantly! Ive never felt that with my other 2. It didnt hurt it was just like immense pressure on my pubic bone, very strange. Hasnt happened since Ive woken up today yet..
Anyhoo, just thought Id say hi!!! Trying to keep busy so Im not constantly thinking of how long Ive got left but gosh it's hard to not think of it all day long xx
Hey Bimby, i still pop in to check this thread, nothing happening with me really. I've put on 13 kgs so far and expect to put on 2 more, so 15 all up, pretty happy with that same as DD, but i started out a few kgs heavier so i am the biggest i've ever been and really quite uncomfortable now, i feel like baby could come any day... 4 more weeks its draaaaaging!
Bub is back to back so i am trying to get him to turn, but he just doesnt want to right now, im getting lots of big kicks and punches on the front side, and it gives me a shock sometimes because he clicks, its so weird, everyone i tell that to doesn't believe me, DP heard it the other day so i know im not going crazy :)
Today i am going to wash all the baby stuff and move DDs bed out of our room, should make for an interesting night tonight.
So here is the rest of the April list - Any updates ladies :)
Grace - Due April 11 -
MummyPink - Due April 13 -
HaleyR - Due April 15 -
Wishing4Pink - Due April 17 -
NCBeachyGrl - Due April 19 -
Nes - Due April 22 -
Winngrin - Due April 25 -
ThreeMenAndALady - Due April 29 -
Babydust- Due April 29
--------------------------------------------
Cinss, I pop and check every day too just in case someone has popped :) Should be an interesting night for you with your DD but better to do it now I guess, you certainly dont want to be doing it once bubs is here. I cant keep up with bubs position. I think she is posterior but sort of sideways posterior as a lot of kicks are to the side. She alternates sides often and reading Spinning Babies yesterday it said that the pressure I was feeling in my pubic bone and alternate side kicking usually means posterior and bubs is trying to get into the proper position.. I sometimes get the clicking but not too often.
Happy washing bubba's clothes :) It's going to be us soon :):)
Absolutely nothing happening over here! I'm pretty much all set and just waiting and trying to remind myself to enjoy ds3's naptimes while I can :)
Absolutely, rest while you can Winni, won't be long now :)
Nothing to report here either! Was hoping this little one was going to make an appearance in the school hols but didn't happen as they're back to school today x
Hi ladies, I haven't been here for quite a while, crazy crazy times for us. My precious little boy was born a lot earlier than expected on Feb 22, at 33 weeks (I was due April 11). He spent a few weeks in NICU but now he's home and doing well. He is a beautiful baby and I'm enjoying him so much, he's just perfect. All that GD earlier this pregnancy seems like ancient history..
Congratulations everyone for your healthy and sweet babies!! Take care of yourselves xx
Wow Grace, congratulations on the birth of your son. Would live to see a pic when you get a chance. Were your other 2 early at all or just this one?
W4P bubs can't be too far away now hun. Rest up, soon you'll be holding your little girl x
Congrats Grace :)
Nothing happening here. My last week of work has now come and gone and I am officially FREE! Well, free for about 10 or so months (I can have a year but the last 12 weeks are unpaid and can't afford the unpaid bit!)
Now let the time of sitting on the birthing ball to make sure she stays in good position(s) for birth commense! The weather has finally broken this week, too... starting to feel more mild. Sun is [mostly] out. Getting excited AND nervous. I don't feel ready at all yet (for labor, not having another baby around) but I am pretty sure I felt this way about the same point with my son and then the closer it got, the more up for it and ready I felt. Time to stick my nose in the Hypnobirthing book and start major cleaning/organizing.
Congratulations, Grace!
Congratulations grace xx xx
Congrats Grace. So glad your little guy is doing well.
I'm 38 weeks today. I'll start getting checked this week to see if my cervix is doing anything...but I hope it isn't...lol.
I want to go late. The latest they'll let me go is a week. So I'm hoping for a May 5th baby. I though it would be cool to have baby number 5 on 5/5/13. We'll see how that goes. Nesting big time. Cleaning closets and cabinets this morning. I haven't washed any clothes for the baby and don't have his carseat in yet. My dh is taking 3 of the kids away for a few days. They're on spring break this week.
I sent NC a pm a long time ago but haven't heard from her. I hope she is well.
I still chat with spinning here and there. I think about her often.
We need to keep in touch with eachother once our babies are all here. I'd miss you ladies a lot if communication stopped once our group had all of our babies.
Congrats again to all. And good luck to everyone getting ready to pop!!!
Sorry to interrupt but i was wondering about beachy too its been ages since she updated, how is spinning doing, i think of her often?
^^I think of them often too. Maybe if they see this they can pop in with an update? It must be a busy time for them.
Huge congrats Grace! Glad to hear your little man is doing so well! Scary that he came so early...but very good he is home now and thriving :)
I pop on and off here too, mostly checking for newbies ;) But I feel so far down the list, that there is never much to report. I am guessing the second week of May for me. But who knows!? I had two early babies before, but this one could bake to the end. On Friday I will have four weeks left, or less. But, I guess this is one of those "no news is good news" situations! Lol.
Congrats Grace! :)
Sending warm thoughts to Spinning and NC. xxx
