Well everything seems to have stopped here today in the labour department. Oh well, hopefully before Friday because that's DHs birthday and he's not keen to share.

Well everything seems to have stopped here today in the labour department. Oh well, hopefully before Friday because that's DHs birthday and he's not keen to share.
Everything has stopped here too, bythe******. I was having so many last weekend and on Halloween. Now, hardly anything except she keeps getting the hiccups. I felt really good yesterday. Made it to the gym and walked around a lot downtown finishing up my errands. I decided to try to make this mobile for her and I need some fabric for some pillows. I went to the fabric district. Now this week I can honker down and get it all done. I am nesting like crazy! I have washed the dog, my car, there is hardly anything left to clean! I did not do any of this with DS.
Congrats squamgirl!!! She's beautiful. Enjoy her!
Congrats squamgirl!! So exciting!! How many weeks was she when she was born? She is so pretty! I am so excited to see who my little girl looks like.
Squamgirl, we were both posting at the same time!! Congrats! She is just a doll. She is gorgeous! So glad everything went well and you both are doing fine. xoxo
Congratulations Squamgirl she is just gorgeous
zem- she was 37 weeks and 1 day when she was born.Quote:

So we got some things done last night. Managed to pack Rozline's stuff for the hospital, I did add a few things for me, but most of them will have to be last min. stuff. My DH also helped get her bassinet set up, so at least she will now have a place to sleep! lol
We got some stuff done last night too. My husband finished the shelves in the closet I wanted. I went to pick up a swing from my friend and she had a bassinet too! I am totally set there as well. Yay! Baby has a place to sleep too. ha.
No action this weekend. I feel fine.
Squam she is perfectly beautiful. Glad she is here safe.
Had my baby on Nov, 5th at 6:59pm. She had to come early because of high blood pressure. 6lbs 1oz. 18.5 inches. Nursing like a champ.
Wow Mommymachine, congratulations :) did you have a good labour? She was a good size for her gestation
Another baby!! Congrats!! How are you feeling? Hope to see pictures of her soon!!
So had my 37 week visit today, Not much change. I am still sitting at a 1cm and 50%. Rozline is a a -2 station. They took my "sample" for the GB test, so will know the results to that next week, when I go back. Starting my every week visits now. He will also talk to me about dates to pick for my induction at 39 weeks. Exciting getting closer, hope I still go before my induction, but not holding my breath! lol
Mommymachine!! What great news!! So happy for you and your family. She is a good size. So glad to hear she is a good eater too. Post pics when you can! xoxo
I still am 1 cm. Doc says if I make it till next thurs we do an ultrasound and discuss my "options". She asked if I wanted to schedule something for next week, but I said I would wait it out.
The most amazing news was I LOST 2 LBS!!! Woo-hoo. I heard about this happening at the end, but it has never happened to me. Huzzah. I was so excited I hugged the nurse that weighed me.
I had my check up this morning too, bub nice and low now :) haven't had any internal checks but the midwife did offer to do a stretch and sweep this morning if I wanted. I declined because today is DHs birthday and he keeps changing his mind about sharing it. I figure if she arrives on her own accord that will be ok but I don't really want to do anything to push it along. I have another appt booked for next Fri so we'll do it then if she hasn't come yet.
I haven't got the weight loss thing this last tri...lol I am now up 25 pounds, hopefully not much more. My Dr. isn't allowed to do S&S till 39 weeks, boo, how will that help me much, if I am being induced at 39? lol
I guess the S&S won't help you much, zem. My doc never mentions that... I wonder why. I'll ask at the next appointment.
Happy late birthday to your hubby, bythe******. I wouldn't want to share my birthday. My sales guy at work shares his birthday with his daughter. He says he can barely get a piece of cake as the whole day revolves around her. :)
My sister comes to visit tonight. Yay! So now if I do go into labor we have backup.
Well he did get to keep his birthday. More contractions last night and a very uncomfortable nights sleep, my hips are really sore. But I feel good now I'm upright. I'm glad that I didn't have the s&s I've heard if you aren't due it can just be painful and pointless. She'll come when she's ready.
Just realised I feel better this morning because she's moved her head back up onto my hip :/
that's fun, byth******. ha. Mine is my ribcage. I suppose its her butt backing into the right side of my ribs. I have taken to pushing her down (gently) it gets so uncomfortable. My stomach looks ridiculous and all lop-sided.
Mines not to lopsided this time Lizzie but I remember it was worth the boys. I'm just all our the front, it's so funny in a front on picture I don't even look pregnant but from the side that's another story. Might try to get out for a walk this afternoon to encourage her to shift down
I am so lopsided lol. It looks so funny. I need to take my monthly picture (my mom is a HUGE scrapbooker, she puts each month picture in a baby book that she makes). Maybe we should all post new bump pictures, since we are all so close to going!
Lizzie- do you mind if I send you my picture again? I hope to get around to taking it sometime this weekend lol.
Oh on the S&S, I had one or more before I was due with my last 2 pregnancies. Honestly they never did hurt for me, just a little uncomfortable. BUT I think it may have been because I was almost always dilated to at least a 2-3. So maybe that had something to do with it. I consider my self to have an average pain tolerance. Every women is different though.
Have been bouncing on my ball like crazy for the past few days. Seems that is the only time my hips don't hurt as much. I would also say I am almost taking a nightly bath, helps so much.
I feel like I look so huge, maybe I will take a picture this time (not for the book my mom is making lol) with my shirt pulled up. That way you can actually see just how big I am without the cloths blocking the view. Sorry if it kills anyone!! I am shockingly white!!lol
Yes, girls! Let's do another round of pics! Zem, always welcome to send me pics on my gmail. I am not always lopsided, but sometimes. My sister arrived and I was last night and she was surprised to see it! (She doesn't not have kids.)
I was happy to hear you are taking baths, Zem. I have started that too. They are probably a little too hot, but I don't get overheated, don't sit in the long, and it isn't like my stomach is in the water anyway!
Hey Lizzie- I sent you 2 pictures. Figure I would show a side view and a front view. Warning ladies, hopefully I don't blind you! lol Thanks again Lizzie.
This is my 39 week shot from side on
And this is front on at 37weeks
Zem7's pics!!! So fun...Attachment 15187Attachment 15188
Bythe******, you look so cute!!! You look great!
So this is taken at 37+3. The front on picture I think is pretty cool. If you guys can see it, looking at the top right of my belly, you can see the outline of her foot!Quote:

Bythe******- love your pictures!
Yes I see the foot Zem so cool
OMG! You can see her foot. I have never seen a foot on myself. That is so amazing!
Zem, sorry, I still can't believe you have a tubal ligation scar and are indeed pregnant with your 5th!!!
Arghh only 2 days to go until due date. I think she'll probably be overdue now. I've had pre labour symptoms on and off for the past 12 days all of which has come to nothing. The waiting game is frustrating.b When is your induction date Zem?
The date isn't set in stone yet, we will talk about it this thurs. BUT it is looking like it might be either thrus or fri of next week.
I have seen other body parts in my other pregnancies, but usually they move so fast that you can't take a picture. She stayed like that for a half hour.... So cute at the time, but soooo painful also lol. After she moved, it still felt like it was there for a few hours, that spot is still sore to the touch now.
Wow. It does hurt that badly? Yikes. Maybe a good thing I haven't seen a bidy part. I suppose if I camp out and look for awhile I would see something.
I was due Thursday, but it was moved to today. I haven't even been having much in the way of pre-labor symptoms. I think mine will be overdue as well. My mom comes thursday. It would make life so much easier if she came them so this is for the best anyway. :) (Now she will probably come before then!)
How did I not think about (until a few hours into today) that my due date is 11-12-13??? What an amazing bday that would have been. Should have been induced. haha Oh well, don't think I will make it by midnight.
Man today has not been a nice day for me. Been so achy, also my downstairs area feels like someone is taking a large gauge needle and stabbing me. I think she may be scratching me or something. My insides just feel raw. Anyone else have this? I hope I don't keep getting this, don't want to have to live with it for another week. I have a dr. visit tomorrow, hope he gives me a date! lol
