TTC Blue Crew Grads Part Deux!!

Dloui he's so cute. I know... I can't believe I'm 37 weeks already. I actually can't believe that I'm having another baby and that I'm having a boy. I've seen his balls so many times now I don't need any reasurrance. Lol. The scan on Monday was testament to that.

Pearl, I'm so happy to be able to birth vaginally with the support behind me. I am nervous though. I'm not sure which bit is making me nervous, the fact he will come out a different way or just birth itself. I think I'm just tired and over thinking things.

Mini you are so close!!!! So excited for you!!

I don't see any pics can you post it here?
Hey ladies hope everyone is great! Im not on much anymore because like no1 else is on on the birth club and I just kinda forget to log on anymore ...but will come to look at pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mini I can't believe you are already 37 weeks!

I posted this on my other group .Some update on us.:happy:
Benjamin is fine he STILL want to be held a lot. That is his favorite thing I guess. He STILL only turn on his back on the bed not doing it on the floor because he bump his head. (no clue why can't he learn to be careful?) He STILL not sitting up alone if I sit him up he fall after a wile and that's it. So have to be there with him or not sit him up. BUT finally he is scooting on his tummy all over the house ! So I can put him down and he is exploring for a short time.Not pulling his legs up yet so not sure when he gonna crawl around finally.(or if he will) he reach up sometimes so I guess he will pool himself up 1 day. Im just kinda worried how is he going to balance standing if he is not doing that with the sitting?
He is going to be 9 months next week ! I ask the doc what she thinks on the checkup. Im thinking he is just doing things slower then the girls . I was really thinking he will be walking by 1 but now I don't see it. So that's it for us.

sure I will post shortly, I only left it on for a few days. lets see a new one of Benjamin!! I can't believe he is already 9 months old, time sure does fly by. West will be 8 months old soon and he is finally starting to sit up a little without crashing to the floor lol, he wants to crawl so bad but his little arms aren't strong enough cause he just falls on his face, so he army crawls all over the place .

I missed your pics too Dloui!! Thanks for re-posting!! He is sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at his big brown eyes (swoon):bigsmile: Mine all have blue eyes and I would Looooove a big brown eyed baby:HH:

Flava, what did the Dr say?? My DS1 didnt walk til 15 months:) He just couldnt be bothered lol, why walk when mummy will carry you:) He was a very clingey baby, like a little chimp! And when I would try and put him down he would just cling on lol:)

Flava dd3 crawled by 11 months and walked by 17 months. She was and is still a mummies girl. Doesn't harm in getting a check up though.

Dloui he's so cute.

Hi to everyone else. I'm 38 weeks now. I seriously thought I would have had a baby but looks like this man is staying put. I'm going in today for a second attempt at the ecv. Only because of the higher fluid level. Also my scan on Monday showed an increase in blood flow to the brain so if its still like that on Monday they will want him out and if he is breech it will be by csec but if he's head down they will induce me. Either way, I hope I go into labor before then.
I've got 3 unwell kids. They aren't too bad but winter has finally caught up with us here. Dh is feeling unwell and I've had this throat thing for over a week now. Only 3 more weeks til spring.

Oh mini its sounds a little like stress city:hugs2: This time next week life will be completely different!!! Fingers x'ed they can get things moving soon for you xx

My attempt was unsuccessful. Blood flows remain elevated to baby's head, so now I'm left to really think my options. If by Monday the scan shows blood flows still increased they have offered a stretch and sweep to get things moving. Also a csec has been flagged again because they are concerned about baby's health. Am going to chat with dh tonight and make a decision about it. Not sure what I'm feeling right now except terrified, either way....

I saw this in the New Posts part. Mini I am sorry that things are tough. I hope they get baby out and all is well.

Flava, at 9 months, he shoud be able to sit on his own. I would definitely call your peditrician and if you have Babies Can't wait in your area, they are a free service up until 3 years old and they will come to your home and do therapy with your son for free.

At nine months with his lack of mobility and not sitting up on his own, I would call them and get him some help and have him checked out. It is probably nothing but I wish I would have acted sooner with my DD.

Oh mini things sound tough at the moment for you :hugs:

mini-that sound scary for sure ! GL to you I hope baby will be out soon all healthy and happy! Don't be so scared of a c/s it's not such a big deal at all. Only for a couple days after it's not so easy to get up. Hopefully you have some help around !

We didn't saw the doc yet .He will be 9 months next week but we only got appointment for the 26th .So I ask her then what she thinks.
Im not saying he got lack of mobility .He is moving around everywhere on his tummy (commando crawling I guess?) only not crawling on hands and knees yet. He do sit on his own but not sitting up alone .I have to sit him up and he do fall after awhile. I really don't think there is anything wrong with him I just think he do things slow.But I will ask for sure!
DD3 also had this therapy .A lady was coming to our house once a week to help. but I have to say it was pretty much useless :suprise: Like we had to make her try to crawl over our legs or pillows ect. And we had to crawl around to show her how to do it ,now that was funny. And she didn't care at all lol .Also exercise her legs because they said maybe she had stiff muscles . Anyway turned out there is nothing wrong with her at 13 months she got tubes in her ears because she had fluid in it and 2 days after that she was walking on her own! They said it happens a lot because of the water they can't balance.
So I hope my boy is just lazy lol

dloui-that a sweet baby you have there! omg so cute and happy!
I guess Benjamin do the same things then just like West lol
Only I have to hold him a lot he comes to my feet and pooling on me to pick him up !
I do see sometimes he tries to pull his legs up to get on his knees so I hope it will happen soon. Still not sure what's up with the sitting ...

Thanks girls. I'm just really done with it all...the monitoring, the scans the appointments, the poking and here I am at 3am and can't sleep because all I can do is think. Dh and I had a good chat about it before bed and we are both concerned about the baby's health now. I think we've come to terms that a csec is more than likely unless I go into labor before that. I'll be ringing my Dr in the morning to tell her of my decision. I'm fortunate enough at to have a supportive husband. My dad lives around the corner and can help with school drop offs, my mum said she's happy to help out and will take time off work and I've a few of the school and kinder mums who are great. I suppose then its just me who needs to get my head around it after3 lovely vaginal births. The other thing positive about a csec is that they can tie my tubes while in there. Thanks for listening, it really helps x

Hes a great gestation as his health is definitely no1:) I know its scary but your doing the right thing, you never know they may offer to induce you fully first then have the c/s standing by :)

Thanks flava. They won't induce breech here, so its either spontaneous labor or csec. I don't think I'm scared of the procedure, I'm just worried about how I'll cope with 4 children and surgery, although I do have good supports, it will force meto actually not do anything and that might drive me insane...

Mini, how are things atm?? Did you arrange anything with the Dr!!

I have a scan and a drs appointment today so I'll fill you in once I'm done. I had a few early morning pains over the past 2 days but nothing has eventuated. I'm really looking forward to having this baby. I feel a lot more calmer today. Thanks for checking up x

Sorry I forgot to update.... So on Monday I had my scan which showed a similar result in that blood flows to the head were increased and now amniotic fluid has decreased as well. I have another scan on Thursday and if stable I'll have a stretch and sweep and if poor results I'll have a csec. If nothing happens by Monday I have another scan and either another stretch and sweep or ?csec. Its all kind of depending on scan results. I'll have baby soon though. I'm hoping to do it naturally particularly for recovery.

I'm heading in to hospital... Nice regular contractions and a bloody show

OMG Mini!!! So excited for you!!!! I hope hes with you already or super soon :luck::luck: xxxxxxxx

Goodluck mini, hope you have a nice easy labor!

Welcome to the world little Mini-man :bigsmile::HH: So please to read hes here mini, hope you are both well xxxxx

Lol mini!!! Enjoy your snuggling, we're happy to wait a little while:HH: Glad your both doing well xxx

Ok I have a spare few moments but I'm on my phone so no pic, although I did post one up in the August who's left thread. Lachlan was born Wednesday August 14 at 957pm. That morning I had several large bowel movements and a bloody show, but nothing else. I took the girls to their swimming lessons that morning and started to feel crampy. I then went to the drs at lunch with my eldest and felt that something was starting, even the reception lady was concerned. At 1pm I took my middle daughter to kinder and told them I was going to have a baby very soon. They hurried me to go home lol. By 2 pm I was getting contractions 5-6 minutes apart. Had some trouble contacting dh but when I did he was hone quick. Is called the hospital and they wanted me in asap because of the breech position. By 3pm they were 2-4 minutes apart. We got to the hospital around 4 and I was 4cm dilated. I laboured til 9pm and was only 6cm. I was a bit upset because the contractions became hard and fast. At 915 my waters broke and thats when things went quick. I was told I had to breath not push for safety reasons with breech. It was so hard but I did it. I reme looking down between my legs seeing these little legs, a body and an arm just hanging there. It was amazing. Not long after he was born. He's so beautiful. He has an operation today for a hernia and is on antibiotics for his kidneys. Other than that he's perfect and I successfully birthed a breech baby with no issues.

What an amazing birth Mini!!! Welcome to the world little Lachlan:HH: Just gonna go and hunt down his pictures!!

It's on page 10 of the August babies left thread. I'mon my phone so can't attach pics or links. Lachlan had surgery yesterday for his hernia and tongue tie. It went well. Am waiting on discharge this morning. I can't wait to get home. When I do, ill pop some more photos up. X

Hey ladies ! Went to the doc today Benjamin is 29.5 inch and 19.5 lbs. I really thought he he more because he is so heavy for me! Anyway doc says she don't think there is anything wrong with him he is just a little late with things that's it. Well with sitting up Only I guess. But we got a referral for mild developmental delay just to see what they say. So all is good but 1 of the teeth is coming and his nose is stuffy and he can't sleep good. I wish it would come out now! He never been this grumpy with the others.

mini-I can't wait to see your baby! Good that everything went well!!

Hi Flava. It sounds like your little man is growing well. Does he still like to be held a lot as that could account for his delay in sitting up. I did not crawl until I was a year old or walk until after 18months. I had 3 older sisters that carried me everywhere. My aunt had a baby in her 40s after having 3 kids in her late 20s. The older ones carried him everywhere and he was late with his gross motor development. At his development checkup the doc told them to leave him down on a playmat

My man is growing well too. He is 12lb 6oz already and 65cm in length. We have him in 3-6 month clothes already. He has also started sleeping 6hrs at night. He was 7 weeks yesterday.

Here are the two of them together
Attachment 13582

pearl-your kids are very cute! Nice that they hang out together lol

Yes he likes to be held all the time! But no one wants to do it anymore! he is so heavy and really we are just tired of holding him all the time Im waiting for him to walk not to hold him like a new baby...
But he is down a lot scooting everywhere and now trying to pull his knees up and pull up on low shelves ect. It's no good because he fall back and we always have to be there watching him. He just bumped his head today again! :sigh::sad: I don't know why can't he be careful with his head already?? He should know he has one by know...Hopefully he will crawl soon.Not sure what's with the balance we will see.

Hi ladies... Hope all is well. I'm sitting here pumping my boobs, seem to be my daily ritual as my little man still won't take my breast. It's awfully frustrating as I have a great supply. He even gets more worked up with the nipple shield. I expected this though as the girls were the same and.I put them on formula after a few.weeks of expressing. Even lactation nurses don't seem to help. Apparently I need to wait it out because my nipples are too large for baby so he has to grow first. Well Iexpressed for 8 weeks with dd3 and she still wouldn't take.it after growing so big. Is love to feed just one of them. Not much to ask? There's my rant.... Lol. Lachlan is doing well. Gaing weight. He's not a great night sleeper unfortunately but it will.come. he's got all his appointments for his kidney, hernia and hips at the end of September. The girls love him to bits...we all do.

Pearl, your kids are cute.

Hey girls, been mega busy with my 4. Lachlan's 6 weeks old. He's having another hernia repair on Monday. He also suffers from reflux so we aren't sleeping well or getting much done. I'll post a photo or him and my girls x hope you're all well.
