September Chit Chat for Ladies Due in Sept/Oct/Nov

Oh auroura~ Talk to her as little as possible. I have a few of that kind of family member. :( Hugs! Hope you feel better soon!

What a bitch she is Auroara! I think that sums up my feelings on her- sorry! It must feel like having another child to look after.

Lynxie, I want a spa delivery!! Sounds lovely. I am in the private hospital here, which is as nice as it gets, but only 1 birthing suite even has a bath in it, so first come basis.

Mocha, it is sounding like this could be it!

Hi ladybug. Bummer about the GD 3 times in a row. That is just not fair. Hope you can get your glucose levels stabilised so you feel better.

I should be leaving for work now. Just can't be bothered. It is getting so hot here now that I just feel like floating in the pool!

Peony, I forget that we have opposite seasons. It is just cooling down here, finally!

Auroara, I can't believe your mother wasn't more understanding and treated you so rudely! She obviously doesn't remember what it was like when you and your siblings were babies. I would avoid her for a while.

Auroara - so sorry about your Mom. I say avoid her for a while too. :HH:

So luckily those cramps and backache never went anywhere. I made it to the kids' Meet the teacher night and now we're just14 hours till my Mom's arrival, so I think we're going to make it!

With all the troubles we had during pregnancy he was always so chilled out on scan/doppler. And was the same after delivery. He did not make a single wimper or cry till the next day!! Girls had hair but he has more! It is so cute and fluffy lol!

Totally understandable! ;)

My babies come out with lots of hair too. I love the bald baby look though as they look like a baby for longer. I am sure my DS1 had his first haircut at 9 months!

Yeah, my kids have lots of hair, too. Especially DD1--I had an ultrasound the week before she was born, and they could see her hair during the scan! She came out with a TON and never lost any.

ladybug, sorry about the Diabetes issues. :( I had to do the 3-hr test for the first time ever this pregnancy and was really worried as Diabetes runs in the family. Thankfully I was okay this time... but it has to be so scary to worry about insulin and everything like that!

Mocha, maybe your body is reacting to you wanting to wait for a more convenient time for your mom to be with you? I have a friend that was having quite regular contractions with #2 (while her husband was away on business) for almost two days but they actually stopped on their own. Husband came home a few days later and then she had the baby! Kinda funny how that happens.

I'm definitely in the give-up-housework camp, too. I'll do what is absolutely necessary (washing diapers, vacuuming crumbs, etc.) but I'm not deep scrubbing or doing repairs anymore unless I get really energetic. I'm too absorbed in the emotional details and the logistics of packing/getting to the hospital.

We toured the newly remodeled birthing center at the hospital yesterday and it is BEAUTIFUL. It is so much more relaxed and natural-birthing friendly. Every L&D room has a jet-tub, audio player hook-ups, a big flatscreen TV. It is crazy. All of the medical-looking stuff and wires are hidden behind panels. It looks pretty darn spa-like. :D

Holy crazy!!!! I am excited to check it out! Finally a nice place to give birth :-)

Thanks ladies for the support, I appreicate it...to make matters worst, she visited on Tuesday (she lives an hour and a 1/2 away) and barely held the baby....so I went into the conversation yesterday already disappointed about how she ignored her granddaughter after haggling me half the preg about making sure the baby was a girl. She's always been a little self-centered, but age has made her 10x worst....she is so crazy right now, that yeah I think I'll avoid her for a lil bit, let her cool off, and let myself get myself more centered.

Lillian is still doing well, still sleeping a lot. She has a fussy period of course in the middle of the nite, when I am already dead tired, hehe. DS2 is still harder than the baby, but he has his sweet moments too. I just don't want him to feel replaced by the baby, you know?

Anyway, I hope Sadie is born soon....I can't wait to see her pictures!! Hobbers, I can't wait until you're holding your sweet little boy in your arms!
