Ooh all of these babies are just so exciting! Meeks, our baby will arrive 2 weeks from today. I am still nervous about a 37 week baby and the csection, though you ladies have calmed me down a lot about that, but so excited and feeling ready to meet baby. With a complete previa, we are just so thankful that we made it to 35 weeks...2 more uneventful weeks for us would be WONDERFUL!
Congrats to all of the mama's with their babes already and I cannot wait to hear more news from everyone else! We are ALMOST THERE!!!!!
How exciting! 10 days until my c-section (@38 weeks). I was nervous last week, feeling more excited now. I'm sure the nerves will set in again later but there's no real reason for them, only that I would prefer to be in "control" and in labour myself, but like you there is no choice and I know c-sections have super controlled and manageable risks these days. After having a great one with ds2 you would think I wouldn't be nervous but I think I just worry about all the normal things all mums do, like baby arriving safe and healthy, and just general operation-on-me jitters.Quote:

Hi ladies,
Just checking in. Glad to hear you are all well. GL to Meeks, onthepond, and Waiting4Daisy! Waiting, if you always go late, and I go early, I may have my little man sooner! I'm thinking 2-3 weeks to go. He could prove me wrong, but I would be shocked! We'll see.
I'm doing ok, ready to be done being pregnant, but not sure if I'm ready for another baby. It's DS3. He is SUCH a handful right now, I just don't know how I'm going to manage it all. My older two will be fine, but honestly they fight so much, I am constantly playing referee. They also still like mom to get stuff for them...I'm thinking I'm just going to have to tell them they will get their own snacks and drinks and blankets, etc., and also just let them duke it out with the fighting! Lol. As you can see, I am nervous about this transition! Since we are moving soon, we did decide to keep DS3 in his crib, and just keep baby in the pack & play. That will help tremendously with bedtime and naptime, so at least I will keep my sanity where that is concerned. No DS3 getting out of bed (for now at least). When we settle in our final place, we'll set up the nursery furniture for DS4, and that's when we'll transition DS3 to his big boy bed.
We are still in limbo about our move...DH's new work team want him there ASAP, but the HR end of things is being slow in processing all the paperwork, etc. So because baby is due so soon, we probably won't get our house on the market till after he's born, and in our price range, houses are moving a little slower...like 2-3 months. So, looking potentially like summer before we move. I hate not knowing, but I kind of have to accept it.
Anyway, that's my update, I hope you are all well!
Wow Rainbow you are super close too!!! For what it's
Worth DS2 is very much a
Baby even tho he is 2
And I was very worried about the transition bc I hold him all the time and well baby him way to much! Anyway after a rough 3 days he has totally come around and wants to be the big helper like his big brother! So there is hope!!!! Now the fighting....I try to let them figure it out as much as possible. :-) They do much better when I stay out of it altho sometimes that's easier said than done when they are screaming mine no mine mom he won't share mom mom mom he took my car, mom mom mom! So I totally hear you on that! The move is going to be so awesome for you guys. Bummer on timing but we did that exact same
Thing when DS2 was 3
Months old! Started showing the house and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Not easy but also not terrible! Crossing fingers you sell your house lightening fast!!!! Keep us posted on your sweet little mans arrival!!!! :-)

Hes been such an easy kid I knew it was bound to happen eventually, but its terribly inconvenient when 37 weeks pregnant in 40+ degree (Celsius) heat and hes throwing a tantrum, turning into liquid man on the floor and refusing to get on the changing table (hes also refusing to toilet train, but i'm just ignoring that for now, enough is about to change with baby arriving and ds1 starting kinder). I AM SO OVER BEING PREGNANT TOO! But also a bit scared for the caesarian recovery, given its a good 6 weeks of pain and at lest 4 weeks not being allowed to drive. Its going to be "interesting" dealing with ds2's tantrums with all that going on. I am extremely concerned about the transition period.
We are also in the same boat re planning our future and where/when to move. DH finishes qualifying as a builder mid this year, after spending 4 years retraining at a mature age. When he finishes his current work will offer him the same deal they offer all guys that qualify, and its not a stable or good deal. So we are planning to move on, and move closer to the larger town/small city near us. BUT that depends on him finding a better job than the one he'll be offered here, and at the right time, in a place that would be commutable from the areas we would want to and be able to afford to live. Its killing me to not be able to plan where, when, budget etc. Mid year we will have a 4 month old, and 3 and 5 year old, and we want to move asap after that because ds1 is going to be in kinder this year then first year of primary school next year, and I would prefer to be able to give him at least a few months in a new kinder getting to know the kids that will be going off to school in the same area. Or at the latest i'd like him to start school where we plan to be, not start here then move. Its a big enough jump starting school when you havent moved!
So anyway, that was long winded but I meant to say I completely identify with whats going on for you guys and wish you all the best!
To make things fun, dh has done a number on his back, and cant lift much at the moment, which should be SUPER AWESOME when it comes to me having a caesarian. NOT
meeks just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you!! so so so excited!!! ♥♥♥
