Yes i am really hoping DS comes early too! I have a midwife appt today and another ultrasound tomorrow at the 4d place so i hope i can get some cute pics of his face :) I know a lot of our group has not updated :( Our list is looking rather bare, would love to hear from the gals who have had their babies too but it seems a lot of them haven't logged on for a while.
You are so lucky suregena, i am having the worst time sleeping with the hip and back and pelvic pain.
I've been trying to keep up with you ladies, but haven't had a chance to post very often... Congratulations to the ladies who had babies recently :) I can't believe my lil man is almost 4 weeks old now! It's gone by so fast. And I've decided to finally go back to school :) I'm really excited!! I hope you ladies are feeling as well as you can be, being as far along as y'all are! Also, about the mucous plug question, I never saw it with my first. With my second, it came out at 10am on Monday, and I went into labor at 2 am the next morning. This time, I started losing bits at 28 weeks.
Just checking in on all you ladies. Still waiting over here. I have an appointment on Wednesday and am really hoping for some change. Been stuck at 4cm and 50% for 3 weeks now. I'm feeling pretty good during the day but nights are quite uncomfortable. Hoping everyone is doing well and getting close to meeting our LOs.
Wow winni that's crazy you've stayed 4cm all that time! Hope bubs greets you soon hun.I'm struggling now so can only imagine how you must be feeling xx
Mrs P I'd love to hear from MP too. Figure she is busy being anew mummy x
Mrshonyez what will you be studying?? Sounds exciting x
Cinss how was your appt??
Hopefully everyone is in "baby land" and will report back soon!
Nothing happening over here. I am a bit early for it anyway. I have a BPP on Friday. But nothing else happening. I am pretty uncomfy. Her position sucks right now. Physically for me, it's fine for birth. Lol. We did family pics yesterday...my oldest was a complete pain. Did not cooperate at all. On well, tis life.
We have more mamas coming up quick. Hope it happens soon for you guys!
My midwife appt was fine, just the usual check up, bubs is still back to back though. Im excited for my scan today, we are just checking placenta position because it was low at my 20 week scan, hope to get some pics and excited to see my little guy. Its at 2.30 so will update back later this afternoon.
Scan went well, my placenta moved up so yay :) He measured 36w1d so a bit behind, she said he would be about 6lb11 at the moment, and he has a very cute nose, and still a boy (phew lol)

I am going to study to be an ultrasound technician. I've wanted to for about 3 years now, and the wonderful experience I had with the birth this time really inspired me to go ahead and do it! I can't wait :)Quote:

Hope everyone else is doing well!
Yeah i was really lucky, they were training on a new machine, you can see here how the normal one looks, then they hit 1 button and it comes out like the second pic here, then adjust the lighting some how and you get the 3rd image, it was amazing, i should have asked them to do the potty shot in 3d but they might have thought that was a bit weird haha.

OMG Cinss, that is amazing!!!! He looks cute as a button!! Id be stoked with those pics. I bet you really cant wait to meet him now hey :) So glad your placenta has moved away so you can now have the birth you want.
MrsHonyez, that does sound exciting, Id love to do that.
5 days till my due date ladies!!! I'm scared. Hope I can handle 5 kids.
Congrats Cinss...he's amazing!!!
And good luck to you Mrs. Honyez. Great career choice. I'm going back to school for nursing in the next year or so. I've found my calling...lol.
Hope all is well with our friends that we haven't heard from, and all the ladies holding their babies!!!
Wow...those 3D pics are amazing!! I have never seen them look so "real" (if that doesn't sound silly). Glad he is doing well :)
Full moon is tomorrow...wonder if we will get some babies out of it?
Cinss, what a darling!!!
I had my appt this morning. Ultrasound showed good fluid and baby doing great. I opted not to have my cervix checked, mostly because I would be disappointed if nothing had changed. We've scheduled an induction for next Thursday at 8am if he doesn't come on his own before then. I'll be exactly 41 weeks. Can't believe after 2 preemies and a cerclage I'm going overdue!!
Great all is well Winni, it must be hard to believe after your premmies that you are possibly going to go over your due date! Cant wait to meet your new little one. Maybe like hotdogz said, being a full moon tonight you might meet your bubba before next Thursday :) x
3Men, that is exciting!! I cant believe I have 15 days so I imagine I will be beside myself when there are only 5 days! Wishing you all the best for a safe and easy delivery :) x
Hey everyone- just checking in :). I'm loving all the squishy new babies on here- can't wait to see more!
Cinss- those 3D pictures are amazing and I am super jealous!!!
I have 13 days till my c-section and have everything crossed that he won't come early. I really don't think he will... Monday is my son's 4th birthday and also the one year anniversary of my mom's death.... So this baby is definitely NOT allowed to come that day!!! Tomorrow (Friday) is my last day of work thankfully. The hormones plus all the sadness about my mom is just making me burst into tears all over the place this week. And we've been battling rotavirus with both of our boys- fun!
I hope everyone is doing well! Maybe the full moon will get some of those babies out today or tomorrow!!!!
Hey Jark!! So happy to hear from you :) Our babies birthdays will be pretty close :) I am hoping this LO holds off too as my boys are away next week and I have a lot of nesting plans that Ive held off on for that week!
Sorry you are feeling down but it is totally understandable. I hope this new little man will be a shining light when you are feeling dark xx
Jark, I'm thinking of you. Huge hugs coming your way. If you need to chat, we're here.
Not long now Jark, the countdown begins :) Don't worry if you get emotional about stuff, its totally understandable. Big hugs!
Bomb threat called into my kids school today. They go to a preschool in our high school. 10 days after the marathon bombing. So scared now. What is going on in this world!!!!
Oh my gosh 3men that is crazy!! How stressful. We can only hope one day things will start changing for the better x
Far out, so are all the kids at home today? Ill be thinking of you and all the people of Boston! I wish stuff like this never happened.Quote:

DS3 has been a dream baby so far. He sleeps 4-6 hour stretches at night, never ever spits up and loves to cuddle, never really cries too much either. We have been very blessed! I totally deserve it though after my first two, haha! They were both awful sleepers and had terrible terrible reflux.

I hope everyone else is well. Looking forward to all the babies that will be coming in the next days and weeks!
Oh Rosie great pics, thanks for sharing! Wow look at the hair, he is SO cute :) Glad he is being a good boy for you, i hope i get one just like him :)
Oh Rosie he is darling!! I bought those same Mam pacis, are you nursing? If so, does he have any trouble going from paci to breast? My 17 month old would only take a Mam Silk nipple when I tried to get him to accept a bottle of pumped milk when he was nursing. Hoping this baby isn't so stubborn.
Rosie OMG!!! How handsome is he!! Look at all of that hair!
~*Congrats*~ ~*Congrats*~

Thanks ladies, I just adore him!
Winn...I only pump, he wouldnt latch well and I have nipple issues and severe pain so pumping works great. I love mam pacis, they are great :-). I think though if you wait a few weeks the nipple confusion wouldn't be a problem. Your little one should be arriving anytime now! So exciting!
He is TRULY a doll! Do some newborn piccies :pQuote:

Bimby, teddy had the hiccups all the time in the womb and still does now, he gets them Everytime he eats. No reflux! So you could still have a reflux free babe too.
3m, that's so scary! My oldest goes to preschool in our high school too, and I've been terrified of something happening. I read your post last night, then when I dropped him off today, they were having a lock-down drill. It made me feel a little better about his safety, but I still worry every single day. It's sad we have to worry about every day things now :( I wanted to do this color vibe 5k run back home, but I don't think I will now. Ugh.
Rosie, he is absolutely beautiful!!
I forgot to mention, we just found out Colton has the same breathing problem that my middle son has. He has something called Laryngomalacia, Stridor, and retractions in his ribs and neck when he breathes. The doctors never could find anything wrong with my older son, but now we get to start all over again to see what might be causing it in Colton. It's really stressful knowing your children have a harder time breathing :(
I wish there was a dislike button to click on. I'm sorry Colton is going through this Mrs. Honyez.
Thinking of you, mrshonyez and your baby. :( How stressful.
Mrshoneyz my baby is the same... I noticed him breathing really hard but never mentioned it until when he was 7 weeks old and had bronchiolitis and went to hospital they noticed it and he totally checks out they cant seem to find anything wrong and he is a big boy they have put it down to being a " bigger baby " but I see his chest going in all the time even with clothes on its just horrible to look at
Thank you ladies. Pinkin, that's awful. I'm so sorry you are dealing with it too! It's strange because my older son was failure to trive, and had so many problems gaining weight, but they weren't sure if it was related. He's almost 2 and still has it, minus the Stridor that Colton has. Colton is 10 lbs 8 oz at 4 weeks old, so he's way bigger. I have no idea what might be causing it. We do live at a high altitude though, so I always wondered if that was part of it.
Its just the worst thing I find it so hard looking at his chest it really sinks in when he breathes and he seems to breathe fast.... Its always on your mind isn't it?? I keep worrying that something bad will happen to him even tho they say he is ok it just doesn't look right.
Oh Pinkin and Mrsh how awful :( It must be very stressful to watch, thinking of you both xx
Rosie that made me feel better about this LO's hiccups because I swear she has them allll the time.
Did anyone else notice their baby practise breathing in the womb?? All my kids have done it and it is really obvious to me and anyone who catches it that this is what it is but I dare not mention it to my Ob as Im sure she'd think I was crazy lol I googled and found one lady said a sign it is breathing is that the baby will get hiccups soon after and Yup this LO gets hiccups straight after, so strange but also comforting to me that she is preparing for the outside world x
My bubba had hiccups ALL the time when he was in the womb and he had very bad silent reflux he was put on losec tablets at 7 weeks old. I have also head that when they do hiccup its a sign they can breathe my ob said a lot of babies born even at 34 weeks can breathe on their own
I saw mine practice breathing on the U/S i had the other day, i cant feel it, but i know what you mean about OB's thinking weird things, when i mentioned my baby clicks i just got an "oh really?" response haha whatever! I do feel him hiccuping at least 2 times daily.Quote:

I don't think that's what it is... I may just be having more sensations with braxton hicks this time then last... but can't help but wonder, anyway!
