So cute, CVD!
Hi ladies,
Sorry for the delay!
Poppy Petal 5lb 6oz and Olive Jessica 4lb 3oz were born on 11/06/13. V birth went so well, hardly any pushing needed.
They are in NICU as they can't maintain their temps and have some growing to do. I came home from Hosp without them yesterday : ( That was really hard.
They are totally gorgeous and I will post pics soon.
Now I have a busy time visiting the hospital daily for a couple of weeks!

Congratulations Maple. I hope they will be home with you soon. I can't wait to see pictures.
Congratulations on your babies!!
TMI alert- I just went to the bathroom and when I wiped there was a light streak of blood. I know it is normal to have a little bleeding after an exam but I haven't had one since Tuesday morning. Is light bleeding considered a bloody show?? I never had this with my others so I wasn't sure if I should be worried if this is just part of the normal process. It wasn't thick like a mucus plug so that is what is confusing me.
Thanks ladies!
Congrats Maple!!! Glad the delivery went well - hope they are home with you soon. Love the names, can't wait to see pics!! :)
Bama - no heartburn for me! Definitely just an old wives tale hehe
Mommyof3 - I would get a little bleeding the day after DH and I would dtd, could it be that by chance? I had bloody show with DS1 but it was like mucousy ick lol
I don't think that would be the issue because it has been about a week since any dtd has happened. LOL
Oh cvd hudson is soooooo lovely and the pics are adorable - all the new born photos i've seen in this country and more traditional but i so love that style, especially the top pic with the little nest thing!
Huge congratulations on the twins Maple, i'm glad the birth went well, can't believe you birthed twins naturally - really hope they are home with you all soon where they belong. Hope your boys and loving having little sisters too!
Mommyof3boys i had bleeding with my ds3 after a stretch and sweep, it gave me odd contractions but the bleeding went from a little when i wiped to light period type flow - keep an eye on it - we went into the hospital and they said it was a bloody show but it wasn't (i'd lost my plug with the others and it was nothing like that), it got worse over a couple of days but they kept dismissing me, when someone checked again we ended up being high risk - everything was fine, but don't ignore it if it continues as it needs monitoring to see where its coming from x ps you don't have a low lying placenta do you - if so you need to get it checked to ensure its not coming from there

Thanks all! I'm just so happy they are doing well. It's lovely seeing my boys so proud too! X
Oh Maple! Congratulations, they're both just stunning! Well done :)
Maple, your little girls are adorable. So happy they are Earthside.
Awe CVD your pics are super cute! How lovely : )
Cvd I love the pictures of Hudson! He is so squishy and adorable! How is he feeding and everything?
Maple what sweet little girls and applause to having them vaginally! That is so inspiring and amazing! I know it must be difficult to have to go home without them but soon you will all be together. Are they letting you do any kangaroo care?
Jadis I agree and I would fast track the RRL tea. I think it will help. I wish I had done it but at this point I am not bothering with it. Let me know if you felt it helped.
Afm: as of yesterday I was a little over 1 cm dilated but still not effaced. Also baby is posterior. Estimated to be about 8 lbs. I am trying to sit on my birthing ball as much as possible to try to turn her around. If I make it to my doctor appointment next Friday we will talk about induction
Thank you P4P!Quote:

Can't wait to hear of your big day! And others due now! Exciting XX
Thanks Praying! And he's doing great - he's growing so fast, feeding great. We go to the doctor this Thursday and I'm so anxious to hear how much he weighs. He is getting SO chubby, I love it! He's been absolutely amazing so far - he sleeps through the night other then when he's up to nurse but a quick 5 min nurse and diaper change and he's back to sleep. It's been wonderful. We've had to introduce a soother here and there though (he found his thumb and I'd way rather him use a soother.. can't take a thumb away ;) lol).Quote:

Bring on the babies!
CVD- my ds3 is a thumb sucker. I would do everything you can to avoid it. We tried every kind of pacifier we could find and he wouldn't take any of them even when he was a tiny infant. He still sucks his thumb and he is 6 1/2 and we've tried everything we can think of to get him to stop.
Congratulations maple! What a couple of cuties x
mommyof3 hows things going, has the bleeding stopped hun x
These pictures are fantastic. What a lovely idea to have such special pictures done :)Quote:

Hopefully have my home visit today though to talk about my homebirth ... fingers crossed !! Will let you know how it goes but cant see why she will say no considering the house is in a million times better state of repair than it was with my last homebirth when we didnt even have running water !!
So glad to hear that cvd! Hey chubby is good...it means they are eating as they should and getting all that nutrition from (what my best friend calls) the boobie juice :rofl: And way to go Hudson for sleeping through the night already! Ehh don't worry about the soother, it is better than trying to take the thumb away. They eventually ditch the soothers. I hope Joelle is here soon too. She keeps playing games with me Ha-Ha. Last night had some pretty bad menstrual type pains/contractions and I thought this was it but alas they have fizzled out. The heat is brutal here cvd...so miserable!Quote:

I had some weird period type pains last night to, think little lady may have dropped, it kept me from sleeping and kept making me feel like i needed the loo all night - all mine have been late so any hopes of an early labor for me aren't very likely but i can barely walk today so am really hoping i'm not weeks off still!
Mum sorry your having a rough week hunny, make sure you look after yourself and that little bump, with all those beautiful boys around too i hope your getting plenty of love and cuddles (even if it was James' day).
mommyof3 good news about the bleeding, had been thinking of you
p4p hope joelle doesn't keeping you waiting too much longer
Yep, I'm due on the 19th and I'm chugging my raspberry leaf tea and forcing myself to go for walks. I actually lost a few fragments of my mucus plug 2 days ago, but nothing more since then. Still, I hope I meet our Maggie this week. I've just totalled up what I've spent on decorating her nursery and I'm gasping for air! I don't think I'll tell my DH how much money I've blown on making her room cute. $825!!! What he doesn't know, can't hurt him right?
Mum, I'm sorry to hear that you're having such a rough time. I'm really thinking of you this week, hang in there!
Mrs. P - I had those same period type pains last night. I have had them before and I thought I was in labor but turns out nothing came of them and I wasn't even dilated. I am 1 cm and a bit now and just waiting...and waiting...and waiting, lol.Quote:

In other baby related news...DH and I DTD on Saturday for his Father's Day present :rofl: I was pretty uncomfortable after but nothing came of it. I did notice on Sunday morning I had some (TMI WARNING) blood streaked mucus. Maybe some of my plug? I have been having it since but I am totally not sure since I lost my whole plug with my son after my water broke. :shrug:
I like the way you think, P4P! LOL! You're so right-I've waited awhile to be able to decorate a baby girls nursery, I've enjoyed every second of it and I love that space. Decorating is my passion, so it's hard to hold myself back! Still, I think we'd better not eat out for a couple of weeks :) We've been renovating our ensuite bathroom too, so that was another massive wad of cash. eeeeeek!! You're so right though, we can't take it with us. Can't wait to see who makes her debut next, Joelle or Maggie???? I'll be stalking the board!
LOL! P4P, I love that you dtd as part of your DH's father's day. I told my DH that he didn't have a chance, but maybe I'll change my mind if it'll get labour going! Sounds like you're losing your plug, that's exciting!
Funnily enough my hubby tried the fathers day card in the hopes of some action - i thought it was supposed to the be the kids that treated them not us :rolleyes: its not husbands day - they'll try anything though, or at least mine will!
Its so exciting both maggie and joelle will be joining us soon, lets hope the ladies aren't fashionably late, i want to see some babies!
Huge congrats Maple....they are beautiful! Bets of luck to the ladies who are due next. This day two weeks it will all be over for me...planned c section july 2nd!
Well ladies I woke up to spotting and losing more plug. Having contractions but they are still pretty mild so it may be a while. I just started timing them but they are still pretty far apart. Just trying to stay hydrated and I will be calling the doctor in about 20 minutes. Hoping this is it!!!
How exciting P4P. I hope Joelle is in your arms very soon
I'm having a c-section Friday morning. I can't wait! I am so D-O-N-E being pregnant.
P4P - I hope this is it! Can't wait to see pics of that cute little girl!
Eeeeek! So excited for you P4P, I'll be checking back for updates, I hope this is it!
Hi ladies! I'm currently in labor and delivery. Went to have an NST done and I was 4 cm dilated and completely effaced. I will be having Joelle today! Will update when I can.
YAY, how exciting! I can't wait to see pics.
OMG! yay!! Can't wait for the update :) Hope there's pics!
Good luck P4P I'll be thinking of you. Big hugs xxx
