Tinks, so exciting about baby Zane!! He does look like such a big boy baby....such cute hanging cheeks!! so sorry to hear about your infection...and I hope you get better asap!
Girlmom, I am amazed you are still hanging in there...Happy Bday to your sweet rainbow baby daughter!! I loved what you said about that!
WP, will be stalking you for a birth update soon -ish!
Flava - where ya at Hun?
Hey has anyone heard from iluv? She had to have had that baby by now.
GirlMom, Happy birthday to your little girl :celebrate: And YAY for 35 weeks, SO VERY close!!!
Tink, I'm so sorry hon, I hope you feel better soon, Take care of you self ((Hugs)).
Hope everyone is doing well.
TINK! I loved reading your birth story, but sorry you are so sick!!!! I'm sure you are in good hands so just try to relax and get well!!! xoxo
Girlmom, YAY for being full term, and happy bday to your sweet London!
I'm stalking for births and gender news too....good luck to all you lovely ladies!!!!!!
Oh no, Tink. After such a great birth that stinks your uterus had to go and get an infection. I hope you are mending well and back to healing from postpart. in no time.
girlmom: Congrats on 35 wks and DD birthday. I am amazed you have made it this far. I bet that will be the last time your family sees you pregnant.
Hobber: I don't love to clean, but it has to be done. The children do some of the chores with me and it makes it sooo much more fun and goes quickier with so many hands. Plus, I have so many happy memories of us all cleaning together, they just think it is the best fun and I know they are learning things that will stick with them forever.
Had my midwife appt today..... 2cm and baby is head down. I did a little shopping and had lunch with DH before coming home to reality. I would love to have the baby soon, but my brother comes home from Afganistan on Friday and don't want to miss his party on Saturday. Maybe after then.......lol. We all know they come when they are ready. My midwife did suggest that I start using EPO, so tonight I'll start.
WP, sounds like things are moving along! Hope the baby waits until after your brother's party. I am glad he made it hope safe and sound! When you do the EPO, do you take it orally or put it directly on the cervix?
I was wondering about iluv as well. Hope she and her baby are doing well!
Hobber: I poke pins holes in the EPO gel cap and insert as close to my cervix as I can get, right before bed.
Cricket Cricket.....
Nothing much to report. Just looking forward to the weekend and seeing my brother. Although, I have not tried on my maternity swimsuit to see how much of my belly it covers, I may need to do that before Saturday :)
Okay, I had my son take a belly pic, so the quality isn't that great, but hey it is the only one I have taken this time. Please don't quote, so I can delete later.
Okay and pics of the baby's room. I still have a few things to do and hang up, but it will work. The bedding also has a bumper pad, I put it on because it was cute, but I don't think I am going to use it when he finally sleeps in his room. And the curtains are a wagon wheel print.

You are so CUTE pregnant!!! I pictured you with dark hair for some reason though lol
Love the babies room too :)
WP, You look beautiful, ALL belly!!! Love the room, Thanks for sharing.
Wp you are so hot!!
WP you have such a lovely figure even when pregnant and having your 7th!!!!!
WP, you look amazing!
WP, you look fantstic! And I absolutely LOVE his room:agree:!!!!!
Thanks for the compliments, but I just feel huge, especially today. I got to see my brother and most of my family. Now I am soooo tired and ready for bed. My whole family was drilling me and the children to see if we would cave and tell the baby's name. They only have to wait a few more wks.
Tink: How are you and Zane?
Tink - hows the infection? x
Zane is good. gosh he is so cute!! Im.feeling so much better. That was so flipping scary. im.just thankful to be home with my family!
Glad you are home and feeling better Tink :)
I know how scary that is :(
Tink so glad you are home and doing better!!!
WP you look fab, and I love your little guy's room :)
Tink, I am glad you are better and got to go home!
WP, seriously you look amazing--all belly! Wow!
Tink: Thanks for checking back in, I am sure you are crazy busy with the new baby. I am so glad all that mess is over and you can love on Zane at home.
When I have the baby, I will be away from the computer for at least 2 days.....if someone wants to PM me their cell #, I can txt you a pic and birth info from the hospital (and you could post it here). I don't have internet on my cell :(
The baby has been moving a ton today and it has been soooo painful, I hope he finds a comfortable position soon.
Thanks Hobber, sometimes I wish I had a little more cushion when this little guy is beating me up.....lol.
Tink - so glad you are home and feeling better :)
WP - I agree, you look great! I hear ya on the painful movements, sometimes I thought Charlie would burst out all alien style lol
You can text me, I can post pics and such straight from my iPhone! I'll pm you my number.
Flava & girlmom need to check in!
Is that how you carried all your babies? You seriously look awesome! I bet you haven't gained any weight aside from the baby! I always wished I was one of those "all belly" pregnant women. I am carrying all out in front this time too, but I have put on weight so I don't look near as good as you!Quote:

Jen: Thanks for updating for me. I tell people all the time that he must be trying to get out through the front, it really does look like an alien movie sometimes.....oh well, I have tons of strech marks already, so he can't do any harm :)
Hobber: yes, I always look like all baby, BUT I am not. I have a small frame, so I just look small. I have gained about 20 pds during this pregnancy, but I gained 10 pds while swaying. I am just really blessed with a fast metbolism.....although it has slowed a lot in the past few years. It normally takes me about 6-12 months to get all the baby weight off, last time I never did get it all off. I have the best time being pregnant and not worrying about my wastline...lol.
TTC5: So, your baby just really big or did they change your due date?
girlmom: Yep, we need an update!!!
I am so excited, I ordered a new going home outfit for the baby and it is coming today!!! It is Petit Ami brand and so classic looking, It will be my last addition to the hospital bag. Tomorrow is my OB appt, I will let you guys know if the EPO did any wonders in a week :)
i was a bad girl. i decided i was done with meds and doctors and bedrest. so i canceled my doc app. and i stopped taking my meds.... yes i know, you can all spank me later. but im 36 weeks tomorrow! and i really have been a good girl up until now. but omg it was wonderful... my mind was clear, i wasn't all foggy and loopy. i went for a walk... outside!!! then i had to go grocery shopping. when i did get a little hot and dizzy but im not used to all that. i got home and started contracting badly. but i didn't want to go in. so i stuck it out. about 8 or 9pm i took a hot bath and it really seemed to help and i went to bed early. i woke up for one of my million trips per night to the bathroom and i was bleeding. not sure if thats good or not. but i decided as i wasn't in any pain not to wake everyone. this morning the bleeding has stopped but now im starting to contract again. maybe i'll go in and make sure everything is ok. but gosh it was nice not to have to take any meds or pills or sit for hours in docs offices while docs shove their fingers up me and try to guess if im a 4 or a 5.
Tink, I'm so glad you're home and feeling better xx Enjoy your SON!
((Hugs)) Girlmom :hug2:
Congrats on reaching 36 weeks! I think your baby boy is coming very soon now!
WP, Good luck Tomorrow and KUP! :luck:
3p1b, How's Charlie, We need some new pics :)
Flava, thinking of you dear xxx :HH:
WP - you are welcome, you're sooo close!
girlmom - so amazing you are 36 weeks! I can't wait to hear what the dr's say today!
MFC - Charlie is great, he's getting so big. I can't believe he's almost 4 months old! We are still having sleep issues i.e. waking up 4+ times a night and only wanting to nap on the boob but we got him some new pacis and they really seem to be helping. All in all we are so in love with him and I'm still in awe that we made a boy lol
Here's a few new pics :)
Attachment 3004Attachment 3005Attachment 3006Attachment 3007
Flava - come on hun, check in :kiss:
Jen: OMG.....Charlie is sooooo cute. 4 months already, time sure does fly. What kind of pacis did your get?
girlmom: I don't blame you. And 36 wks is great, especially coming as far as you have. GL, I can't wait to see baby pics, I am sure he will be here soon.
I am still 2cm, but a little more thinned out (eye rolling). I figured my cervix would be a little more dilated. My midwife did do the cervix sweep and I was having major contractions, but now they are back to normal. If he is ready he will come, if not, I would like to wash everyones bedding, the car, and clean out the laundry room. I know sounds crazy, but I have to stay busy.
Oh, I almost forgot, yesterday I got my first varicose vein ever and it is in my groin area.....I thought I was going to die!!! It hurt so bad everytime I stood up yesterday. Today it is a little better. My midwife took a look and said I should stay off my feet and elevate them if possible.....hahaha. I will try my best, but sitting drives me crazy. I think this little guy just needs to come and then I don't have to worry about it....lol.
Awe thanks :) We had some of the nipple shaped pacis but switched to orthodontic ones, I think they are mam, anyway he loves em and I slept more last night.
Sorry you didn't hear great news today, I always hoped I'd go in and she'd say "omg your 5cm and your water just broke, off to delivery you go" lol Hope the sweep works and your little fella comes soon!
I had varicose veins on my labia with dd2 and Charlie, they didn't hurt much and luckily they went away.
3P1B, Charlie is adorable!! I love the picture of him laughing.... what a little cutie!!
WP, how awful--vericose veins sound so painful! :( hope that little guy comes soon!!
girlmom--36 weeks!! That is awesome!!
