September Babies Continued

Aw thorz well done, they are really great and hes such a cutie too

Well been doing lots of cleaning and packing, we were due to move house 5 days after my section but are going to put it off for another week but trying to get as much done as possible before i go into hospital. Poor DH isnt going to know whats hit him having to look after 2 boys and the house so i've wrote some lists and cleaned the house top to bottom to make life a little easier for him

Thorz, they are gorgeous pics. If you don't mind me asking, how do your hips hold up in labour? I don't think I could labour without moving around, well, not without an epidural.

DLTAG, moving house and a new baby sounds doubly stressful! I'm with you on the lists though, if I go into labour before the school holidays the first thing I'm going to be doing is letting DH know what they need for school. Although they're both pretty onto it in terms of library days, PE days etc.

There's nothing happening with me, 37 weeks now. My blood pressure seems to have settled, he is still on the large side and I've no pre labour signs. My big girls have three birthday parties this weekend so that'll take my mind off things. Have to keep reminding myself that these are the last few weeks of my last ever pregnancy and try to enjoy it.

DLTAG I cannot imagine how stressful moving and a new baby would be, plus your recovery. You are one strong momma!

Mum23 to be honest I have no idea how my hips do during labor as I have always had an epidural so I cannot feel anything down there at all. But this time I really want to do it without an epidural so now you give me something to think about, and honestly I'm glad you brought it to my attention, I'm not sure i can do it without some sort of pain relief or numbing. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY my hips could go in the birthing position right now without excruciating pain so unless the adrenaline from giving birth helps, I don't know what I'll do.....probably end up with an epidural, bummer.

Thorz your not missing out on much lol get your epidural... There is no reason to suffer when you don't need to... How does your hip feel after birth? Does it feel better right away?

2 weeks today! My brothers are daft ;-)

Fish that is adorable!

WAG I Always have hip dysplasia and always will but pregnancy exasperates it beyond belief, as soon as baby is born the pain is manageable and then almost goes away. I'm a marathon runner believe it or not. As long as I stretch a lot and use proper form I can run! I miss running. 11 more days of pregnancy for the rest of my life and I'll never look back or miss it or want to do it again lol!

Ya I def feel like I'm done with the whole pregnancy thing but I've been feeling a little sad about DH getting the big V next month... I had ridiculously uncomfortable pregnancy with Lennon and I am happy for it to be done and for my family to be complete... I don't have an ounce of me even yearning for that daughter I once wanted ... But I worry I might change my mind in like 8 years...he would never get a reversal he didn't want the last two babies and he's seven years older than me.... I know I want him to get fixed and I want to be done... I think it's just how permanent it is and that I know that every little last newborn moment I'm having now will be my last...like I have three newborn diapers left and I think I might cry lol... And so far it's looking like only one of my kids might reproduce so the thought of grandchildren isn't as happy as it is for most people... I pray that Lennon is normal.... I ramble all over the place sorry lol

[Thorz300]

I feel the same way, I'm not sad at all about this being my last pregnancy, but I might be sad that this is my last newborn, if that makes any sense! I adore and love the newborn stage and it is so short lived! I'm going to take every second in and take a million pics!

[WantingPink]

I so agree with your Thorz!! I am not at all sad that this is my last pregnancy however I am so sad that this is my last newborn. I just love the newborn phase even though it means nightly feedings. I love that they are so tiny and all they want is to cuddle and snuggle and sleep with you. Peyton is already 3 weeks old!!

I had a pretty eventful night that got my hopes up but ended In nothing i woke up with cramping at midnight, then fell back to sleep around 1am but by 1:45 I was awake again with contractions, strong regular contractions. This went on until 3:30 am then somehow I fell asleep. I woke up again just after 4am with vertigo, the room was spinning and I felt like puking! I decided to get a drink and get in the bath (contractions were still coming about 3-5 min apart) then I would wake up DH and let him know we need to probably go to the hospital because if my water brakes I go super fast and I need tme for the group B antibiotics. Well, I fell back to sleep in the tub and DH woke me up around 6am and asked me what I was doing!!!!! I had been sleeping in there for nearly 2 hours!!!! I've never done that before. And besides a kinked neck, I was quite comfy. Well, unfortunately everything had stopped by this time and I felt fine. Here it is 7:30 and still no more contractions. So DH went to work in Dayton which is an hour away, I hope things don't start up again or he won't make it..... I'm exhausted! 10 more days of pregnancy (or less)!!!
