Wow, Jen, just wow on the sleep. I keep my FX this one is better about it. But I hear ya on the boob explosion thing, I forgot about that! Booo! It is SUPER uncomfortable! Man. I really hadn't remembered that part ... darn it! One more thing to "look forward" to, LOL.
You would think you'd have bigger babies! It'll be interesting to see what the little guy weighs in at :bigsmile:
Believe me, I know we've been super lucky in the sleeping department. They can sleep through anything too it's was hard work teaching them this but it's great.
I hope he's a bit bigger without running late. It's one of those dumb things to complain about but having a baby that preemie is too short and newborn is way to big sucks.
I'll start with the shortest answer lolQuote:

Co-slept, with a couple, DD/DC1 for 4 years!!! But its amazing how when you breast feed you can wake in the morning with a baby under your armpit not realising you had fallen asleep with them, then a prompt hairwash to remove the odour of onions and garlic off of babies head :bigsmile:
Labors, all good, no stiches to date, no bleeds, longest which was No1 12 hrs, pethadine and G&A with her but the rest G&A. No4 could have just fell out! I turned up at the hospital said I wasn't sure if things had started or not but I've come in just in case, she checked it was 8 cm! and said if I pop your water baby will be here, so she did and she was lol!!! I could do that delivery weekly:agree: Then the labors have definately got more painful since, last one was evil, I think its overstretched muscles?? But dreading the next as it maybe a 10lber.
I labor alone, get a taxi in, have baby, get a taxi home, but found messaging the kids at home during the last really helped take my mind off things, so I'm hoping that santa will bring me a phone that can connect to here so that I can have a giggle with you lot next time aswell, just hope I don't get the messages muddled on the G&A as DH doesn't know I use the forum and would flip lol!!!!
Ladies I gotta take a breather ... I wish everyone all the best with their pregnancies, with getting the DG, etc ... but my GD is so bad today I just think I need to try to move on entirely from ever having "tried" to have a son. I can't BEAR the fact that I am going to have three daughters right now. The GD is making me dissatisfied with the children I already have and that is really making me angry; but it's true ... having a third daughter is just magnifying that I AM A GIRL MOM when I never wanted to be. But life isn't always what we want is it? And we have to make the best of it. And as always of course I know ... lucky they are healthy, worrying about gender is a luxury problem to have, etc. But today the pain is just unbearable so I think I'm going to try the one thing I haven't and that's letting go of here.
Take care and all the best :kiss:
