Mocha! You still look so tiny! I'll post mine tomorrow. I am HUGE!!
I hope you get to have your baby on the 11th! How cool would that be--10/11/12? I was hoping for that, but there is no way I will go that late (I am due the 4th).Quote:

LOL Hobbers!
Mocha, what a beautiful round belly!!
Z, thanks for coming on here and sharing your story with the headaches. I def. didn't experience this with my boys, maybe it's a girl thing? I'm not sure. I still have the dull edges of the headache but thankfully so far today it's been durable and I've been able to enjoy the baby and the boys more. I've taken more pics today, and things are going a little better, baby Lillian was losing wieght for the last 4 days and today she started to regain so she's on a better path.
DS1 loves cuddling with the baby and giving her lots of kisses, DS2 is still mad that I can't pick him up, but I'm giving him lots of kisses and talking / playing with him, and that's helping some. The baby is so chill, she sleeps so much that I gotta wake her up to eat, and the boys were just not like that...they were constantly ravenous, lol.
I feel my mood is picking up a little better. I guess strangely enough I always thought the baby blues I got after I had a baby was related to gender--but now I realize it's just hormones.
can't wait to read and see about sadie being born...i am getting around to posting better pics of Lillian soon.
I'm having lots of cramping and a backache from all my cleaning exertions yesterday, but I don't think it's going to go anywhere. Tonight wouldn't be a good night to go into labour anyway because my friend who's 'on-call' for me is a nurse and has a shift tonight. I'd have to call another friend (who's less than enthusiastic about being called in the middle of the night) who my boys haven't even seen in 2 years. I'm a little worried about them waking to a virtual stranger - they aren't used to having anyone but family take care of them.
Well, I'd say the cramping is a good labor sign... But I hope that she comes when it's more convenient for you mamma!Quote:

It's really hit me the past week that I'm going to have a BABY in a week or so. I think seeing TTC5 and Butterfly have their babies made it more real somehow. I love newborns - I'm so excited to hold her, but it's going to be bittersweet knowing this is the last time I'll ever have one.
Now I have to decide on an outfit for her to wear home from the hospital. I have a cute ladybug sleeper that I might choose.
