I do t have anything else small enough!
Fish, she looks gorgeous! She actually looks like she's smiling.
I still feel awful. Diarrhoea is settling but still feel like I might vomit and reflux is horrendous. I can't quite believe I'm the only one in the house with a bug so I've packed a bag just in case even though I'm only 37 weeks tomorrow. I'm just running a bath and hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep. If this is pre labour stuff I'm not impressed!
Bump size is not a good indicator... My friend had such a small bump and somehow was hiding a 10 pound baby in it lmao what a shocker that was... And my cousin who was big as a house ad a 7 pounder
Fish she is so cute and dainty! Your DS2 has such gorgeous curls by the way :-)
Mum I hope you feel better soon, that sounds miserable! I've had loose bowels before most of my labors but never the reflux and vomiting. Take it easy as much as you can.
Mum I had the same for about ten days before I was induced... But hope it means your nearing the end think it might have just been those dates lol ;-)
Thank you I love his curls thou many say oh they're wasted on a boy :-(
Fish she is so cute!! Love her little outfit.
Mum23girls hope you get some relief!! It isn't any fun to be pg and not feeling well. Hope something happens to change that soon!
Ah wanting pink what a cutie ;-)
She's very cute, Wanting.
I'm all good today, had a great sleep and feel back to "normal" (as normal as you feel in late pregnancy). Being unwell has motivated me to get organised though, I've gone from piles of unsorted stuff to mostly everything put away. I've also just bought post delivery knickers etc! It's stopped the whinging as well, sure I'm tired and grumpy but at least I'm not feeling too unwell to get out of bed.
A friend with three boys has given me a whole lot of baby stuff which was very sweet but lots of it is in gender neutral colours like yellow and light green. It's still much appreciated and will get worn but after three girls all the stuff I've bought is very blue and covered in trucks! He will wear some of his sisters' old clothes though, I can't bear to not use them just because they're the "wrong" colour or have flowers on them (or whatever).
Mum hear what your saying about trucks n stuff I'm loath to out her in yellow n green too, sonetimes those really boyzie bits can be a bit strong when they are tiny so you might use them, have you inspired her to try again? ;-)
What gorgeous pics girls. Loving seeing all the little babies x
Thankfully bubs is still in and i've not really had any signs of early labour, only 8 more days now. Have a midwife app tomorrow so this is the last chance for her to turn before the big day really, I'm not holding my breath tho.
Fish, no I'm pretty sure she's done!
DLTAG, I'm glad there's no sign of labour. I remember my OB saying that OP babies are often a bit later and that it might be because the head isn't optimally positioned against the cervix or something, maybe it's the same for breech babies? (Although that theory doesn't really work for women with lots of previous pregnancies whose babies may not engage until early labour anyway).
Hopefully she'll hang on for you anyway. Much less dramatic than a rush to the hospital!
Today was our little twins funeral we decided to call them Jesse as we don't know if it was a he or a she, just the three of us, it even stopped raining for five minutes, really odd day feeling totally worn out now, for readings we had The Lord is my Shepard and mark 4 from the tiny bear bible! Perfect little service and we had in Christ Alone played at the end.
Here's our lill ray of sunshine all dressed up for her twins day

Praying now we can really move on and enjoy the little girl of our dreams and her special big brothers
Oh Fish I'm so sorry. I'm thinking of you all. It's so bittersweet. :(
Oh fish i'm really sorry you had to go through that, but so glad your lovely little lady is with you safe and sound, she looks so sweet in her dress. i hope she brings you many many years of joy xx
Fish I'm so sorry that had to be hard.... But I am happy you were able to have a service for you and your little family....big hugs!
Thank you ladies, we've told very few people irl about today as it felt quiet private but so happy to have you ladies to share with thank you, Naomi's gonna be one spoilt lill lady ;-) just so thankful to have her and fx that's she seems healthy xxx
Aw fish so sorry what you've had to go through today, cant have been easy. Big hugs to you all x
Hope your doing well fish... Must have been a tough day... But your little girl is very precious :)
12 more days of pregnancy for the rest of my life...........I can do this I can do this I can do this! Right? The pain is beyond explanation now! I would beg the dr to induce me now but I know the hospital won't allow it unless baby or momma is in medical danger hip dysplasia isn't considered a danger.....sucks for me!
Oh thorz poor you it's rubbish so many of us are really not enjoying the last few days/weeks of our last ever pregnancies ;-s
I'll remind you of what you know it'll all be worth it when she arrives xxx
Oh Throz really sorry your having a rough last few weeks, I can imagine your pretty fed up now but it will have been worth it when you have your beautiful little girl in your arms x
Fish how are you feeling after yesterday, must have been really tough for you all x
I had midwife today for what will be the last time, babys still very much breech so i'm now just counting down the days till the section, 7 to go :'(
Thanks ladies, I just wish I had something fun to do or look forward to these next two weeks to help me pass the time, but given that I can't walk or move, I am stuck in bed bored out of my mind.......
DLTAG sorry you have to have a section, but how exciting you only have 7 days left!! I can't wait to see pics and hope all goes well as I'm sure it will.
Fish, Wanting your little girls are adorable. Fish I hope yesterday helped you to move on now and Naomi will make you v happy.
Finally builders are out (kitchen looks amazing!) and the computer is plugged in, so I can post some pictures. So this is my little Diana, she is our sunshine.
Thorz, DLTAG, Mum23 good luck with last days, you are nearly there. Looking forward to your updates.
The picture didn't attach :-(
Girlsway we wanna see pick ;-)
Thank you ladies had a nice day today lill monkeys at preschool we registered Naomi and did some shopping for her, lovely day only viewed two sets of twins still hurts but doesn't make me cry I may be able to start wearing mascara soon which I haven't for 24 weeks ;-s
No pics girlsway! I can't wait to see the pics when you can download them.
Yay I found something to do to help pass the time away!! It may kill me but its worth it! My friend is bringing her 4 day old baby boy over so I can practice my photography skills on him! I used to do photography but I worked in a studio with a film camera (makes me sound really old) any way I'm way behind in the photography world now. I finally got a nice camera but now a days it's all about the editing programs and I don't know anything about that, so I must practice practice practice. Bending down for an hour with a baby may kill me though. I think I might just try to direct my friend on how to pose him so I don't bend as much! I'm excited!
Ah thorz that's exiting never know might bring on your labour thou I'm not sure thats newborn enough ;-)
Had fun taking pics but I need A TON of practice on the editing side, and I need a good editing program like PhotoShop but cant afford it so I only have the basic free ones.....She said I could share some with you ladies.Attachment 13936

Aw thorz well done, they are really great and hes such a cutie too :)
Well been doing lots of cleaning and packing, we were due to move house 5 days after my section but are going to put it off for another week but trying to get as much done as possible before i go into hospital. Poor DH isnt going to know whats hit him having to look after 2 boys and the house so i've wrote some lists and cleaned the house top to bottom to make life a little easier for him
Thorz, they are gorgeous pics. If you don't mind me asking, how do your hips hold up in labour? I don't think I could labour without moving around, well, not without an epidural.
DLTAG, moving house and a new baby sounds doubly stressful! I'm with you on the lists though, if I go into labour before the school holidays the first thing I'm going to be doing is letting DH know what they need for school. Although they're both pretty onto it in terms of library days, PE days etc.
There's nothing happening with me, 37 weeks now. My blood pressure seems to have settled, he is still on the large side and I've no pre labour signs. My big girls have three birthday parties this weekend so that'll take my mind off things. Have to keep reminding myself that these are the last few weeks of my last ever pregnancy and try to enjoy it.
DLTAG I cannot imagine how stressful moving and a new baby would be, plus your recovery. You are one strong momma!
Mum23 to be honest I have no idea how my hips do during labor as I have always had an epidural so I cannot feel anything down there at all. But this time I really want to do it without an epidural so now you give me something to think about, and honestly I'm glad you brought it to my attention, I'm not sure i can do it without some sort of pain relief or numbing. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY my hips could go in the birthing position right now without excruciating pain so unless the adrenaline from giving birth helps, I don't know what I'll do.....probably end up with an epidural, bummer.
Thorz your not missing out on much lol get your epidural... There is no reason to suffer when you don't need to... How does your hip feel after birth? Does it feel better right away?

2 weeks today! My brothers are daft ;-)
Fish that is adorable!
WAG I Always have hip dysplasia and always will but pregnancy exasperates it beyond belief, as soon as baby is born the pain is manageable and then almost goes away. I'm a marathon runner believe it or not. As long as I stretch a lot and use proper form I can run! I miss running. 11 more days of pregnancy for the rest of my life and I'll never look back or miss it or want to do it again lol!
Ya I def feel like I'm done with the whole pregnancy thing but I've been feeling a little sad about DH getting the big V next month... I had ridiculously uncomfortable pregnancy with Lennon and I am happy for it to be done and for my family to be complete... I don't have an ounce of me even yearning for that daughter I once wanted ... But I worry I might change my mind in like 8 years...he would never get a reversal he didn't want the last two babies and he's seven years older than me.... I know I want him to get fixed and I want to be done... I think it's just how permanent it is and that I know that every little last newborn moment I'm having now will be my last...like I have three newborn diapers left and I think I might cry lol... And so far it's looking like only one of my kids might reproduce so the thought of grandchildren isn't as happy as it is for most people... I pray that Lennon is normal.... I ramble all over the place sorry lol
I feel the same way, I'm not sad at all about this being my last pregnancy, but I might be sad that this is my last newborn, if that makes any sense! I adore and love the newborn stage and it is so short lived! I'm going to take every second in and take a million pics!
I so agree with your Thorz!! I am not at all sad that this is my last pregnancy however I am so sad that this is my last newborn. I just love the newborn phase even though it means nightly feedings. I love that they are so tiny and all they want is to cuddle and snuggle and sleep with you. Peyton is already 3 weeks old!!
I had a pretty eventful night that got my hopes up but ended In nothing :( i woke up with cramping at midnight, then fell back to sleep around 1am but by 1:45 I was awake again with contractions, strong regular contractions. This went on until 3:30 am then somehow I fell asleep. I woke up again just after 4am with vertigo, the room was spinning and I felt like puking! I decided to get a drink and get in the bath (contractions were still coming about 3-5 min apart) then I would wake up DH and let him know we need to probably go to the hospital because if my water brakes I go super fast and I need tme for the group B antibiotics. Well, I fell back to sleep in the tub and DH woke me up around 6am and asked me what I was doing!!!!! I had been sleeping in there for nearly 2 hours!!!! I've never done that before. And besides a kinked neck, I was quite comfy. Well, unfortunately everything had stopped by this time and I felt fine. Here it is 7:30 and still no more contractions. So DH went to work in Dayton which is an hour away, I hope things don't start up again or he won't make it..... I'm exhausted! 10 more days of pregnancy (or less)!!!
