November 2013 babies!

Oh and I agree. I feel like this is our private chat forum! ha

I can't even start to think about what it will be like with grand kids! LOL still too young. BUT my parents only had 3 kids. My brother, sister, and I. After this baby is born they will have 12.......LOL. With my 5 it makes me wonder what we will be in for ha. BUT I think my sister is going to be in for it. She also has 5 kids. She was only going for 4 but got twins with the last one. She has 4 girls and 1 boy!! lol Since the twins are fraternal they have a higher chance of having twins themselves. She may be in for a lot of grandbabies lol.

I told my sister when she got pregnant with number "4" that is was going to be twins. I even had dreams that she would have twins. When she found out she was I gave her so much crap. I guess me getting pregnant with a surprise number 5 is payback. She has been giving me as much crap as I gave her lol.

This pregnancy is so odd for me. I never got that second tri energy surge.. I have wanted to sleep pretty much all the time. I will be 34 weeks tomorrow, feels like time is starting to slow down now. After Halloween we have no plans made till after baby gets here. So I don't have much to distract me.

I am also still having severe chocolate cravings. Pretty much anything chocolate, especially dark chocolate....Its a wonder I haven't put on more weight!! Anyone else having cravings that have been there for pretty much the entire time? Oh and anyone having crazy birth dreams??!! I keep dreaming I will have her in odd places, or deliver her in our bathroom. I can't think of one that has taken place in the hospital. Makes me wonder if I will have an accidental unassisted delivery.

No Thanksgiving in Australia we have our Turkey at Christmas but I love it. Had another fall today we have a very steep rocky block and I twisted my ankle and fell forwards. I'm usually quite uncoordinated but I think the bump has made it worse. Nothing serious just a bit sore. Had the iron transfusion yesterday I think it will take a couple of days to feel the effects. Are you low on iron too Zem? May be why you are tired all the time, that and having 4 other kids to look after.

Hope you are feeling better after the fall!!! I fell last pregnancy at 34 weeks. It was bad. Went into labor. They were able to get it under control though.

Nope no iron issues, they also checked my thyroid, since my mom has issues with hers. Everything seems to be normal. So i guess that is just how this pregnancy is going.

I feel so bad for my kids they have been watching more tv than usual.... I just can't seem to get into gear. I had like 1 or 2 days not long back where I felt like i had to get things done. Thought maybe I was finally getting back to normal, but nope, didn't last long! lol I am keeping the house some what clean, but not as much as I would like. I don't even have the bassinet out and washed yet! Ahh someone help me! lol. Hopefully the nesting will kick in and give me some energy to get everything done soon.

Zem, that is funny about your sister and the twins you predicted. Maybe your #5 surprise is payback? Sorry you never got your energy. I am sure it has something to do with the other 4. haha I am still feeling good. I feel like I never really lost my energy. I work from home so I just roll out of bed, but I have had 6:30 am conference calls the last 2 weeks. I thought this would exhaust me, but has been ok. Going to bed early with my son though. I have my moments, but still hanging in there. I crave things but honestly I craved things before pregnancy too. Nothing that sticks out. With my DS it was chewy things! Gummy bears in particular. This one has been more sweets, but less now I feel like. This one will be your last. Eat the chocolate, if you want it!

Bythe******, you take care! I can't believe you fell again. So sorry. I, twice in the last week, have rolled my ankle (I have always had weak ankles) and almost fallen, but haven't yet. Hope you are ok. It is totally the bump. I notice I have lost a lot of my balance when I do things. Your entire center of gravity is off!

Thanks ladies yes feeling much better today. I was a bit worried I might have problems with my hips up until delivery but they seem to be getting better so that's good. I have no energy either Zem. Don't worry about the tv. I have been feeling really edgy and uncomfortable in the evenings but I find it better if I eat. I have heard you're supposed to have an extra 900 calories at this stage of pregnancy but I haven't really been eating more than normal so it might just be I need the extra food. I haven't put any weight on for weeks either.

Anyone else eating dates? I got some really nice ones from my BIL's shop. They were quite expensive but really yummy

[mommymachine]

By the ******. I have a bit but not everyday! How many are you eating per day?

[Lizzie Lizard]

Additional 900 calories? Holy mackrel! I gained 2 lbs from my last appt. I hear some girls lose weight. I am aiming for that! ha.

Not doing the dates. I don't want her early!! I always do this. I try to plan ahead, but last minute I am pulling things together.
