:( that sucks thorz! I'm hoping u go before induction day...
Hi ladies. Sorry I've not been on lately! Just busy here with the 4 little munchkins and getting into a routine! Little Darcey is going well. I haven't had a chance to read up on where everyone is at, I hope to tomorrow. I better get to bed now bit just wanted to pop in and say hi! Hope everyone that's had their bubs are going well, and for those who are yet to pop I hope you're coping ok in these last few days/wks x x

A little pic of Darcey today x x
Oh Thorz i bet it felt like such a let down when you woke up, were you not freezing in the bath either? Its a sign things are happening tho so fingers crossed you have baby before induction.
WAG this is our last baby too, DH is also going for the big V when shes 12 months old so i've really been trying to "enjoy" the last few weeks of pregnancy as i know it will never happen again but i'm actually quite glad as i dont think i could go through another section. Very much looking forward to newborn cuddles tho :)
Only 5 more days to go now too, feeling more and more nervous about it but i think we have everything ready for our little girly and i really hope they dont keep me in hospital too long.
Good to hear from you Salsa, Darcie is adorable!
DLTAG OMG 5 days!!!! You are so lucky! I know 10 days truly isn't long either, but its double what you have lol. Good luck I really hope your section goes well for you!
I set up most of the crib with the bedding and afghan I made, but I still need to make the crib skirt, which shouldn't be too hard, and move the mattress up to the newborn level. I hung up a bunch of frames but I don't have any pics in them yet because she isn't here yet to take pics of. I feel things are slowly coming together as far as the nursery. Here is a pic of her bedding I made, when/if I get the whole nursery put together, I will take pics of that too! I'm getting excited to meet her!Attachment 14001
Help!
Right mummies of many I need some help! Dh is off for one more week and beginning to panic about bedtime n the witching hour ;-s
My boys have tea at 5.30, bath 6 stories and bed for 7 at moment Naomi wants to grump from 5-7 (when I put her in bed) she either wants to feed of be held and although tired I haven't really managed to get her sleep post her 5pm feed (like my angle baby ds2 did!). How am I gonna get boys tea and to bed on my own? Any tips ;-s
Ps as you may guess I'm not a newborn person I love her dearly but secretly can't wait till she's 6 months ;-)
Pps boys 2&3 so not fighting the minute I'm sorting her out is a challenge for them :-s
Fish how about trying her in a baby sling, that way you'll still have your arms free but she'll be close to you. It will prob still be difficult tho but at least your hands and arms would be free (ish) to make tea and read a story x
Thorz your cot is so cute, i cannot wait to get ours and paint her room all pink and girly. No idea what we are going to do but its defo going to be pink :) x
Lol I sent DH back to work the day I came home lol he's on night shift too... I honestly find things easier when he's at work lol
Dlt... He's waiting a year? What's the reasoning? I wanted my DH to get done before any sort of any unwanted baby fever to hit lmao... So a year plus the 6 month wait for the sperm test would prob be too long lmao and I very much don't want another baby I'm just sure there will be a couple days where I think I do...
Daltag yes I was thinking sling too....
Wag in uk they won't do the snip on the Nhs till your youngest child is 1!
O really! I guess they really want you to be sure... Understandable :) although I'm happy to get it done ASAP 4 kids is def enough for me
Yeah I think that's their thinking .... I change my mind every two mins at the moment ;-s
Wag the reason we want to leave it 12 months is just to be 100% sure we dont want any more and things start getting easier after 12 months. I guess we just want to make sure we are making the right decision.
I never knew that either fish, DH is only 25 so the NHS wont do it so we are going private anyway but ill be back on the yucky pill for the 12 months or so while we are waiting. Very much not looking forward to it as it doesnt agree with me.
We are so completely finished having children!
Fish, I used to dread the night time stuff when DH was away! I found it helped to get tea semi prepared in advance, wear the grumpy baby in a sling and then bath her while the big kids were bathed. For stories I'd read on our bed so I was comfy, latch the baby and let her cluster feed away happily with a big girl on either side. I'd then put DD3 in her bassinet while I did teeth and got them into bed and then come back and sort out the baby. And then collapse in a heap once everyone was finally in bed.
Thorz, how frustrating! Hopefully it was the lead in to proper, established labour in the next day or two.
Ah southern that sounds like a plan ;-) dh pretty much never home before 7.30....I may go to bed as soon as monkeys are ;-)
Daltag didn't know there was an age! Insane my dh is 35 so guess that's probably old enough ;-)
More pictures of Peyton :)

What a gorgeous little girl!!!!
Just praying I still have a little pink one!
Well ladies thought I would update you after a very speedy quick delivery my little lady arrive weighing 6.4oz at 19.13pm this evening. Shes a beautiful little doll with dark hair (will iplod photos once im home) delivery went very well started with irregular contractions every 2/3 mins at around 3pm. Got into hospital at 4.20pm and was 3cm so she wasnt hanging in there. Both of is are doing well although her blood sugars are low so being fed as much as possible and swaddled to keep warm :) xx
Congrats! Can't wait to see pics!
Congrats Ladylaura!!!! Very exciting! Can't wait to see photos of her. What did you name her? Hope you're feeling well x x
Congratulations ladylaura!
Sounds like a nice quick labour.
Aw congratulations ladyL and well done :) Looking forward to seeing some pics of your little princess x
Congrats can't wait to see a pic xx
Looks like everyone here is having speedy labours too! :) yay for us!
Congrats LadyLaura!! Please post pics soon. Hope you and baby are doing well!
Attachment 14055 hope this picture comes through, this is Eadie'Anabella Ireland born 13/09/2013 weighing 6lb4oz :) xx
Ah what a cutie ;-)
She's gorgeous! Like a wee doll.
The babies safely arriving is the best part. Who's next?
What a sweet and perfect little girl... congrats Ladylaura!!
Congrats!! What a beautiful baby girl! How exciting!
I think DLTAG is next........Just over a week for me......gonna be the longest week of my life!
So your OB didn't want you induced earlier than planned, Thorz?
Ladyl shes just gorgeous, congrats again :)
Yup i think it could be me next, less than 48 hours till i go in for my section so this time in 2 days i could be holding the little girl i've been waiting a very long time to meet. Very scary thought but i'm looking forward to it being over and done with now and trying to focus on bringing her home.
Hope this next week goes really quick for you too Thorz, are you getting induced at 39 weeks? x
Attachment 14070
Last pic of the bump too :) 39 weeks
Your bump is so cute! Can't wait to see pics of your little lady :D
The hospital won't let me induce any earlier than 39 weeks and my dr only delivers at my hospital on Mondays and Wednesdays so next Monday is the soonest they will induce I'll be 39w3days! Ugh I think I've lost my whole entire mucus plug, but I still don't feel like much is happening because I'm not contracting much. At this point I've given up all hope of going on my own so induction Monday here I come.
Cute bump DLTAG!
Exciting times ahead for you all!!! Can't wait to see pics of the upcoming arrivals! Lady Laura, she's just beautiful. Enjoy her!!
Good luck to Daltag and Thorz! Who else have I missed??
Darcey is going so well. She's very placid and quiet and content. Makes me clucky for another one! But doubt I could convince DH for #5!! Lol
Huge Congratulations Ladylaura!! She is beautiful and sooo tiny! Love her name too :)
DLTAG- You still are so cute and tiny! Can't wait for your news when your little lady arrives!
Salsa- Darcey is getting so big, I love her cute pinchable cheeks.
WantingPink- Those are sweet pics of Peyton! Are those from the hospital photographer or ones you had done?
Mum, Thorz, and Mel... not long now for you ladies. Can't wait for our next baby boom!
Haven't been around lately. The quiet of summer has ended and the chaos of early fall has taken over lol. I babysit before and after school plus we spend our evenings running to sports practices then squeezing in homework, dinner and baths. I really enjoy watching the boys play and they love it too but at the same time I look forward to things settling down again in November.
Julian is still an easy-going little guy most of the time and just goes along with us whenever we're running around. He still is kind of in the sleepy newborn stage but having more awake time.
Just curious how much the other Sept babies are weighing now. I still feel like Julian is such a little peanut even though he's around 8lbs now. Most people still assume he's only a week or 2 old when I'm out with him and are shocked he's almost 6 weeks old.
Here's our list. Hopefully all is correct:
:DS:Julian Sage, Aug 6
:DD:Peyton Blythe, Aug 19
:DS:Lennon, Aug 27
:DD:Darcey Lynn, Aug 28
:DD:Naomi, Aug 28
:DD:Diana Sofia, Aug 29
:DS:Evan Christopher, Aug 30
:DD:Eadie Anabella, Sept 13
And the babies we're waiting to meet:
queenbee- Due Sept 2
DLTAG89- Due Sept 22
Thorz300- Induction Sept 23
Mum to three girls- Due Sept 30
Mel1983- Due Sept 30

He's so tiny! Lol to me anyways... My baabies grow super fast altho Lennon is growing slower than my last two thankfully lolled about 9.4 now I believe and he will be dee weeks in Tuesday
Lovely pics everyone. DLTAG, you look great. I look like an elephant.
I think Queen bee has had her baby, I'm pretty sure there was an announcement on a public part of the forum a few weeks ago. I think her membership had run out or something.
Just popping in to say hi and read some updates on everyone. I don't know how everyone else does it but I am feeling pretty swamped with my newborn, 2 and 4yo! I love it though and am savoring every minute of Evan being so tiny. To answer your question Southern, Evan was 8lbs4oz at birth, dropped down to 7lbs11oz, and at two weeks weight 8lbs9oz. He is gaining about 1 ounce a day, which is a lot apparently. Now if only my right nipple would heal... :(
DLTAG -- thinking of you and wishing you the best for your big day. I can't wait to see pics of your little lady. You look great by the way!
Southern -- Julian...he is cute as a button. :) I love the picture with his big brothers, so sweet. It really is quite special to have all boys.
Lady Laura -- what a little doll you have there. Congratulations and I am glad that the labor and birth went well!
Thorz -- not much longer now! You might still go into labor on your own. I didn't think I would but then it happened one day before my induction. Your body might surprise you! Although I did get my membranes stripped the day before so I guess that had something to do with it.
Here's a pic I took of Evan today. 2 weeks, 2 days. He is becoming more alert. :)
