APRIL CHIT CHAT!!

[purplepoet20]

DM - That is such a great story. I would have loved to have my kids at home but I don't know any midwives that I could trust... Can you come to Las Vegas around Oct!... Both my boys were tougue tied to but DS1 was worse and it was to the end of his tounge, caused it to be shaped like a heart but it is almost normal looking now.

Great Birth story DM!

Well I had contractions all day tuesday about a hour apart then right at 6:30pm they stopped! And nothing really to write home about since then......I have just decided this little one will be born Tuesday the 8th when the doc induces me....seeing as he is still sitting up near the top of my uterus! Stubborn little boy! And since I have a few things planned the next couple days that's fine by me! (now watch he will come cause I said I have plans)!

[zanacal]

Oh yes, that'll definitely do it - especially if you're planning something you really, really want to do! I can't wait to hear about your little man's entrance into the world no later than Tuesday

Stalking a lot of moms in here... I love all the new babies!

Z- my first 3 were early, earliest was born 35 weeks.
my youngest was a week over due, but they think that may have been because he was double bagged..

Beautiful story DM--I loved reading it!

[princesssarah34]

Hey ladies.....I am still here and still very prego! Today I have feel like I have a stomach ache....not sure if it is a flu bug or something else. The more the days go by I have just made up my mind that that this baby will come on the 8th....which is fine by me then I don't have to worry about going into labor and having this little guy in the car ride over to the hospital (45min drive)!!

[zanacal]

That is a definite advantage princesssarah - we have a similar journey to make! Try and have a relaxing weekend, that gorgeous boy will be here in no time at all

How's everybody else?

My bump has definitely dropped - I have a great waddle going on I'm pretty much ready for whenever baby decides to make her appearance. I still have some anxiety creeping in every now and again (my eldest keeps going all soppy over me and telling me how much he loves me and that makes me worry about how he would cope if anything happened to me) but I'm trying to stay relaxed and positive and am listening to my hypnosis CDs to try and keep in the right frame of mind. Oh well, must be time for another cup of raspberry leaf tea

[princesssarah34]

Thanks Z I am trying to relax as much as I can but also stay busy to pass the time!
And DS#2 is being extra sensitive too! He cried today when I told him that his Auntie might not be able to watch them while I am at the hospital having the baby....he said "who is gonna take care of us then?" He was so upset! And then he cried again when I was getting ready to go to a bridal shower! And I have been getting lots of hugs and kisses and every time I leave the house you would think I was never coming back with all the "I will miss you's" and hugs....I can barely walk down to the laundry with out sad faces and "where are you going's?" So I will be glad when all is said and done and he won't have to worry anymore!

Sarah you're so close to holding that newborn, you lucky thing!! Hang in there

You too, Zan and Danni, I'm amazed at how it has all flown by!

DM, that story had me in tears ... what a beautiful birth experience. Especially the no tearing (and no puking), that's downright wonderful Mama! I am so glad she is here in your arms now.

DD3 slept from 11p-8a last night! We're BFF now If she does it again she'll officially be my favorite daughter Saying things like that is good parenting, right? I frequently joke with DH that the college funds will be therapy funds if we're not careful
