APRIL CHIT CHAT!!

[Mochagirl]

DM - I'm so sorry your Mom lay a guilt trip on you at the worst of times, DM .

Glittergirl - sorry about the RSV. I remember when my twins had that at the same time and it was the longest week of my life!

[Mochagirl]

I had my 20 week mw appt today, and it went well. I got the result from my IPS blood test, and it turns out my risk of Down's is the same as that of a 19 year old. Pretty good for an old lady of 37, eh?

[princesssarah34]

Oh DM...hang in there...and your right you don't need your Mom playing guilt on you right now! Big Hugs!!
And please don't stab your self in the eye with a fork! (you made me chuckle) You will have that baby before me I am sure of that.

[DoulaMama]

Thanks everyone! I have no idea why she thought to say anything. She's usually so good at minding her own business. I asked her if she would have wanted her sister(they're not close either)at her birth and her response- "I couldn't, I had you guys in the hospital". Way to dodge the question... Ugh. So, homebirth = invite all your family members because they'll think it's "neat" to be there??? Not a chance. I'm still steaming over this... Sorry.

Mocha- so happy to hear your results are so great!!! Yippee!!!!!

GG- I'm sorry your little Eva is so ill I hope she's on the mend soon and you can get back to regular sleep and nursing.

I'm sorry for all that sh!t DM. FWIW, I am fairly close to my sister and I still don't think I'd want her with me during labour! I'm also close to my mum and she was there for two of my births but I feel more comfortable when it's just me and DH - I need the freedom to completely relax and go with it without feeling self-conscious and if someboy else is there it's almost like somebody watching me having sex!

Glad your midwife appointment went well Mocha - will you be telling everybody you're pregnant now? Do the boys even know yet?! Is your scan next Wednesday, I'm not sure I remembered the date right!

Glittergirl, I really hope your little girl is healthy again soon. It must be such a worry x

I was home all day today as my DS2 is poorly. He has one of those mysterious viruses which gives them a high temperature but not a lot else! He's fine so long as he's recently had some ibuprofen but as soon as that wears off his temp goes back up and he says his body aches. I'm not sure how much of my last day at work I'll actually be there for!! I have a lot of period type back pain tonight - I've not had very many periods in the past 6 years or so and I don't really like it!!

[Mochagirl]

Z - we told the boys about the baby a few weeks ago. They're soooooooo excited and spend much of every day kissing my belly. I brought them to my midwife appt today and they thought it was really cool.

Yes, my scan is wednesday, so I figure if I've waited this LNG I might as well wait until then and make a big combo 'I'm pregnant/it's a girl' FB announcement. People who see me often in my normal, everyday life know for the most part since my belly's pretty obvious, but the return of cold weather here means even a lot of them don't know since I'm often covered in a coat.

Oh, and what your DS has sounds just like what my DS had last week!

[lobella2]

DM so sorry you have to deal with all that. Hopefully your precious baby will be here very soon.

GG sorry to hear about your little one. It is so hard when babies get sick.

Mocha great news!

[Glittergirl]

yay for the healthy check-up Mocha! It's always such a relief...I don't know how you dealt with 2 babies with RSV it makes me so nervous when they struggle to breathe!
Princesssarah--I can't believe your baby is coming soon! I can't remember, do you have a name yet?
DM--I would be mad too, my mom sometimes does stuff like that and me and my sisters are close! After the baby my mom came and stayed with us and I swear every time she made me dinner, etc. she would suggest maybe we should drop some off for my sisters at their house. I finally just said "well maybe they can come pick it up since I'm not driving around after I just had a baby". She got the hint, but she would still make annoying comments like see if your sisters wanna come over too. But inviting your sister to your home BIRTH takes the cake! Don't even feel guilty!
Z I hope your little guy feels better soon. Fevers can be scary. my kids are prone to febrile seizures so I am the first one in line to give them meds and cool them off with popsicles and wet rags. I used to let them sweat the fevers until the first seizure, now I am a paranoid freak about fevers when they are little.
those on FB--I don't post much on your pages cause I can't remember who has announced their pregnancy, sex of their baby, etc so I just lay low and "like" your posts. I think it's funny cause in a way we all know way more about eachother than our friends. I haven't told anyone about the extent of my sway. My sister knows some like diet etc. but not all the other stuff like ions, testing pH, etc.

[princesssarah34]

Princesssarah--I can't believe your baby is coming soon! I can't remember, do you have a name yet?

Yes GG we finally have a name picked out but........we aren't telling anyone until he is here....just one surprise in this pregnancy since this is the last one for us.
I have been feeling really anxious today for some reason. Baby Boy has been quieter than normal or I am just thinking he is! A little bit more mucus plug came out today.....I am just wishing the days would go faster and Monday would get here now!

[DoulaMama]

Thank you for all the support

I'm hoping we can encourage this baby to come today Went for a long walk last night, actually succeeded in dtd...lol!, and tried a few other things like the breast pump etc and I had non painful cx's through the night for the first time. So I'm hoping once I get out of bed, they'll continue! Fingers crossed! I'm seriously close to trying castor oil if today ends up with no baby. I feel the need to get this kiddo out...not sure if it intuition or what but I don't think she should/will be in there too much longer. Anyway...PLEASE send every last labour vibe my way! I soooo need it!!!!! xoxoxo Thank you!!!!
