How are you feeling and how are her big brothers?
How are you all doing ladies?
I´m about to feel fed up lol, my bump is big and I have been having lower back pains since a couple of days.
In the morning it hurts and I walk like a pinguin lol. It has been bad weather here and I´ve been wearing my winter shoes, they hurt, my feet have grown or swollen :/ I´m looking forward to giving birth but 6 weeks to go.
Awww danikins what a pretty little lady :) so cute :) makes me all the more excited for our arrival now!!
Well finally handed in my college work last night, so now I get to relax for a year until I go to university! I have to fit all my nesting into the next 5 weeks as I've had no time to do a thing around my house recently, we are lucky we've been fed and have clean clothes :(
I'm ok, getting to that really uncomfortable stage now, where even just moving a leg causes pain, and sleep well what's sleep, I've not slept properly for 4 days now and I'm feeling it I can tell you!
Lily's movements feel different as well, they are less violent, and I think she's been trying to engage because I've had a fair amount of pressure and can now feel hiccups in my foof lol!
Have my 34 week check with the midwife today, and the. I'm off to the local maternity unit to see Queen Elizabeth II open it officially lol my dp's mum has asked if she can use me as I'm pregnant and she wants to see the queen :)
Hope your all ok xx
Kell congrats on finishing your college work! Must be a great feeling to be able to 'relax' for a year now! Are you going to meet the Queen:)?
Lol yep I went to see the queen :) she is doing a big jubilee tour at the moment and she came to officially open the maternity unit by me.
Oh you have no idea what relief it is to be so close to finishing the course! Today I've actually managed to tidy and clean lol
Do you still have energy to clean and tidy Kell? I´m waiting for the nesting syndrome to set in..
Weird days because we are so near but not quite there yet!
Applesoup how are you doing? Any signs?
Im doing my head in with all the nesting! Honestly Ive gone a bit mad :S
My dp was asking why I was going so crazy cleaning walls and cupboard doors, the baby isn't going to see them! He's got a point lol but it's got to be done! My energy levels are ok at the min, I'm struggling more with pain in pelvis and hips.
Only 4weeks left :) finally have all her clothes cleaned, pram down from the loft, Moses basket arrived, I just need to get the bits for my hospital bag and I'm all set. I've always been one of those mums that's in and out of the hospital in the same day so fingers crossed I'm the same again this time :)
Hi girls hope ur all well and yes your next applesoup, how are u?
My baby has engaged and ready to go I'm getting so nervous I'm sure im having her early this week or next like my first two. On the other hand she might come fashionably late because she is a female and I can't wait. Lily is a beautiful name Kell that is my nieces name. I've already done my rearranging and nesting like a freak. Bags are all packed, had my hair cut and colour I'm just getting bored waiting and just shopping and catching up with girlfriends for movies and lunches, I just have to squeeze in a pedicure before belle arrives. X
Belle I'm getting quite desperate for her to arrive now, keep getting niggles and signs that things are ready but we all know it's a waiting game at this stage huh!
How is everyone doing?
I also had lower back pain and pelvis but now it´s better, my dr. said the baby has engaged so that´s keeping things more steady.
I feel a bit behind when I read how ready the two of you are, I have a list now lol but still have a lot to do.
Haircut is a great idea! And I will wash the baby´s clothes tomorrow morning. We will do a bit of furniture moving this weekend-I hope- so baby´s bed will be ready.
When I was pregnant with Ds1 I had everything ready at 37 weeks and then started waiting..it was an endless wait, he arrived at 41+1 so now I take things a bit differently.
Girls are you drinking raspberry leaf tea ? How much do you drink it?
Wow, it´s so exciting the two of you will meet your baby girl soon!
Hi Everyone.
I'm 4 days over due & feeling really down. Feeling crappy, but that's been going on for the last few months. Feeling really hormonal. About to bite off the head of the next person who talks about this baby being born in July. And, literally feeling like the only person in the world who doesn't spontaneously deliver 2 weeks early...or isn't induced on or before my due date. (Literally, it feels like everyone in my life does that...and then they make stupid comments like me going to July. As if they understand!)
As you can see...I really feel like I'm going to be pregnant forever. And every night, I go to bed thinking "tomorrow I'll be in the hospital!" & every night it doesn't happen. Tomorrow I start going about natural induction ideas...dreading my appointment on Monday. (Since I want a drug-free birth, I don't want to be induced...)
Hopefully the next time I'm on here, I'll finally have my little girl! Seems like I've waited so long for her...
Oh applesoup I'm sorry she's being fasionably late :(
You must make a very comfortable home for her, fingers crossed your evacuation attempts work for you :)
I have a feeling I will be in a very similar situation with this little lady.
Both boys I was in labour on my due date but as with us all waiting for our little girls has been a looooong journey and I think she will drag it out lol.
Is there anything you could do for yourself which might help? Manicure, pedicure, hairdressers etc you just know as soon as you make an appointment little lady will make an arrival :)
Hope she hurrys up for you :)
I'm off to sort out my hospital bag bits today and to take a look round the maternity unit with dp's mum. Hope u are all well :)
Oh I'm sorry your girl hasn't arrived yet Applesoup, I know how depressing that is. With Ds1 I felt like I wasn't going to have a baby at all anymore and I went crazy with people calling me on the phone 'oh nothing happening yet?' And I had the same thoughts every evening about maybe waking up with contractions but nada. I hope she decides to show up very soon!
applesoup, was only thinking of you yesterday.
hopefully she will make an appearance really soon!
time is flying by, i wish we had a pause button, so i could enjoy her being tiny for longer.
she is smiling and cooing, an being super cute.
i have a couple more pics here for you.
taken this morning 3 weeks 5 days.

Oh look at her!! What a beautiful little princess danikins, her gummy smile is just lovely!!
She is so so cute dannikins, really beautiful!
I ended up in the hospital yesterday. I have migraines again and yesterday morning I vomited right before my dr.'s appointment. She wanted me to go to the hospital to esclude pre-eclampsia. They checked everything and it seems I'm doping fine. Baby is rather small, I'm a bit worried about that. So was the dr., she checked all the blood flows and didn't find anything wrong. So now I'm lying on the couch trying to get rid of that headache and letting cook the baby. How is everone else doing?
Indira glad your all ok after that little scare, let's hope your lo sticks in there for a little while longer to put on some extra weight :)
I'm good, had a little scare a couple of nights ago which then made me realise I'm not ready lol, I hadn't even thought about her being early, so didn't worry about school uniforms etc, hadn't got anything together for them at all. Also was lacking a bit on the hospital bag bits. Needless to say I've been sorting all that and trying to keep ontop of all the cleaning so when someone comes to look after the boys they won't have to climb piles of dishes :)
Indira sorry to hear what your going through hope bub will get a little bigger before its out, Have you finished organizing everything? Kell I'm already and waiting for this little one and yes I also think this girl of mine will be fashionably late. Dannikins she is absolutely adorable I love photos so you could send away :) hopefully we hear something from you soon Applesoup
No I haven't organised everything yet! I also started to quickly do things that still had to be done. Washing baby clothes right now. My headache has gone for now, I'm so so tired. Our house is a mess, I don't want my inlaws to find the house like this when they come to help out, but I can't get off the couch for now lol. I have to give up secretly hoping baby will arrive early, it's better when it puts on some more weight. I hope one of your little girls shows up early! Do you get weekly checks at your dr. now ? Applesoup I hope you will show us some pictures soon and aren't still waiting!
Indira I have had to get myself out of the hoping she will arrive early thoughts, it's dangerous for me as I end up quite fed up lol. I'm also the same with the house, I am doing bits and bobs but I want to do more, when I start I get so easily out of breath and I swell up so it gets really uncomfortable!
Belle What's you actual due date?
The time is getting closer for us all here.. Are you all uploading baby belly bump pictures here too?
I have some new ones on my blog link below.
Hope everyone is well and preparing nicely.
Kell sorry if you already mentioned this, but when did your boys arrive? My first was late and my second one day before due date. With DS2 I had learned my lesson and was patient and had 41 weeks in mind as birth date. So it was a great surprise things started to get going at 39+4. Now I am NOT that patient lol. A friend that has 3 kids said to me today ´just enjoy your sleep and rest these last weeks´ and I thought :rolleyes: but afterwards I remembered how hard things were when DS2 was born; the lack of sleep-he would wake up every 2 hours and cry a lot-trying to be nice to DS1 when I was just too tired to even speak and not having the time to sit down for a moment and have a drink. So I thought that she´s actually right and I´m working on enjoying the peace I still have now :).
Journey2dFuture you have a lovely bump, you look great! It´s your first baby, right? I am a loooooot bigger..
And you have the same parquet we have lol! Did you find a name for your boy in the end?
We still haven´t decided on a boy´s name, DH keeps calling my bump Orlando, but it feels to me like that´s not his name!
applesoup im hoping your princess is here by now.....
We are back to square one with the name front - Still really struggling. I'm hoping DH will either cave in on my idea or some up with something I like.
Yes this is my first baby :)
Indira I had the boys the day after their due dates, I was in labour on my due date with ds1 he was born early hours the following day, and ds2 was mid afternoon the day after his as well, so if they are anything to go by fingers crossed I've only only got a little while to go :)
Your bump is lovely Journey I still haven't taken a single picture of mine this time, at the beginning I just looked fat! And for ages you couldn't tell if I was pregnant or not lol, I really thought I'd end up with a massive horrible fat bump but it seems to have sorted itself out and is quite neat finally :)
Although I have put weight on around my bum and thighs which is not a good look :(
Wow Kell you have some well disciplined boys there lol!
Lol yeh they started off good boys! Now not so much hehe
I went to get my eye brows waxes today, there is a long road full of speed bumps, Lily was no impressed with me going over so many lol, when I got out the car my bump had dropped where she had wriggled so much! Shame they pop in and out of being engaged tho huh!
Hi girls I'm ok I'm having heaps of Braxton hicks that are annoyingly painful, the doctor sais she is really deep into position which is why my vj feels like its going to split open when I stand or walk. Kell I was due on the 26th from my period date but now im due on the 22nd according to my ultrasound dates. I had my ds2 by now and ds1 in a couple of days but like I said I have a feeling this one will take a little longer. My doctor said if I want to be induced next week but as much as I want her in my arms I want her to be ready and hope I go into labour naturally. I hope applesoup is holding her little one by now. Indira I love the name Orlando I think it sounds cute for young and beautiful when older, now what girl names have u thought of???
Kell yes she might pop out again but that sounds good! It's so exciting when anything happens at this stage that makes it looks like birth is approaching, like a dropped bum :)
Belle sounds like you won't go past due date! With Ds2 I had a lot more Braxton Hicks at this point, don't have that many now. Since a couple of days I can't walk without getting them however.
Well the weird thing is I proposed Orlando in the first place and exactly for what your saying Belle, cause I think it's a good, strong name for an adult man, I sometimes fear Ds1 and Ds2 names are too feminine for adult men. But for some reason it feels like the wrong name. For a girl we have Eva, Rebecca, Hilde or Letizia.
Wow, Dannikins she's is so beautiful!
Wow dannikins, amazing! Very beautiful pictures!
Aww Dannikins what an absolute dolly, where did you get those photos done? Are you in Melbourne?
im in tassie..:)
one of the local photographers dome them for me..
Danikins those pictures are adorable!! How pretty is she!
I've finally hit the fed up stage :( I know from experience baby will come when she's ready but I'm almost desperate to try anything lol, found a few articles to say that nipple stimulation for 15mins 3 times a day can release oxytocin and induce labour! Told the other half and he was well up for helping lol, shame for him it wouldn't stop at that and sex is the last thing on my mind at the moment! Lol
Two weeks in counting .......
lol Kell! I hope she´ll come soon!
I feel quite the opposite, I feel not ready and all of a sudden a bit scared of dealing with a newborn and my two boys.
I´m also scared of getting GD if it´s a boy. My inlaws will be here to help us out and my FIl is absolutely going to make ´funny´comments if it´s a boy. He is the last of three brothers, his mum had him trying the get the girl..
Well I´m pretty sure it will be at least two more weeks before my baby comes so enough time to do last things and calm down.
Indira fingers crossed your worries don't happen, I really could not have stayed team green thus time round your a stronger woman than me lol.
Anyone got anything interesting going on? I have back ache this evening but nothing that I would put down as labour, more just late pregnancy aches.
I had a text message today from my college tutor congratulating me on achieving my diploma which was good to see! I have my graduation tomorrow, I look like a house and have literally nothing to wear :(
Kell enjoy your graduation tomorrow! I bet everybody will admire and be envious of your bump!
I had painful BH for a couple of hours while lying on the couch, that´s new for me. A bit weird as I´m really thinking I will give birth after July 24., but now all is gone :). With Ds1 I felt nothing until labour started, with Ds2 I felt a lot of painful BH days before, so I´m guessing with the third baby this starts even earlier and doesn´t mean a thing for when labour will start.
Afterwards my baby started all shaking and rolling around. I think it has popped back out of my pelvis, I feel something heavy laying on my hip that feels like a head.
Applesoup I hope you gave birth by now, hope all is well.
i keep checking for updates from applesoup......anyone heard anything?
you are all ready to pop.....so excited for you all...:)
