September Chit Chat for Ladies Due in Sept/Oct/Nov

[auroara78]

oh wow happy lea that is crazy!! well, at least they found the issue....I hope you will have a very safe and healthy recovery!!

and lynxie, everyone was saying two weeks early wasn't anything, but I've had two previous babies (obviously) that were exactly full-term and I can see a MAJOR difference....she is still so tired, and esp. now with her cold, she is back to sleeping beauty again, I feel for her everytime I hear her make weird gasping noises because of the congestion. Your baby was born at 35 weeks, so she will prob. be "sleeping beauty" for longer....I hate ignorant people sometimes!

Hobbers, I think DD2 and my DS2 are going to be soul-mates hahah! they are both so destructive in their toddler-hood!! DS2 went on this weird crying lag today for like two hours...me or DH could not console him, and we tried very hard, finally, after enough cajoing, he finally started to clap and be happy again...but GEEZ...he is sooo much work, 200 percent more than the baby atm. I just feel like DS1 is getting ignored in all this, but all he wants to do is to play his Leapster or a computer game and he seems very happy that everyone is just letting him be, and letting him play all the games till his heart is content.

Everyone is having their babies sooooo early! I know several women that live near me that are all going 3-4 weeks early too. What's going on??

[pinkin2011]

Id love to go full term, I have so much guilt going on its not funny!

[fivebabies]

Oh I know pinkin. You can't control it unfortunately. I'm just shocked by even the women with zero issues going into spontaneous labor early. (((hugs)))

Mocha, I see your ds3 isn't adjusting well like my ds2 isn't. I am actually dreading today with him...I must be the worst momma for dreading spending time with my own son....it's just he's soooo destructive....it's impossible not to let it get to me....

Lynxie, Ivy is sooooo adorable!!! and she was such a good size for 35 weeks!

butterfly, I love your avatar...that dress is soooo adorable!!

5, why were you in the hospital exactly..complications from labor?

and anyone else i forgot, hello and I luv ya!

Uterine infection from retained placenta, found 2.5 weeks later.

[TTC5]

Lynxie, Ivy is so cute! And she doesn't look like a preemie at all!

Peony, I am sorry your back hurts.... hope it feels better today. You are probably right about the DH's feeling helpless--but I still get annoyed with mine.

TTC5, glad you made it home! Are you feeling better? How is baby Daniel?

Mocha, sounds like you did pretty well yesterday! Aside from DS3's meltdown, which I sure was a pain. Hopefully things will get easier as time goes on.

pinkin, your baby sounds like he will be a good size! That must be reassuring. How are you feeling? Only about 2 weeks to go, right?

He is great! I'm very teary think it has all caught up to me!

[TTC5]

UGH, I'm sorry babe, what did they do to you!?

Put me through undue stress and intervention.

[Hobbermittens]

I went in for my last doctor appointment today! It seems so weird to say that.... my last OB visit EVER. It kind of makes me sad. If all goes well, I will be induced Monday. Hoping the baby stays put until then.

During my visit last week, my Dr referred to the baby as "he"; this week he referred to the baby as "she". I know he doesn't know the gender, because he showed me the u/s report and it says right on it "gender unknown", so I am sure he is just using whatever pronoun comes to his mind first. But it was great to hear the baby referred to as "he", but not as "she"! I can't believe in 5 days, I will know for sure.... I know many of you have ideas that this is a boy, but I just can't believe it. I just KNOW it is a girl. 5 days until dooms day for me.

[fivebabies]

How exciting Hobber!!! Monday! Holy cow...you get to hold a brand new, delicious smelling baby! I'm jealous.

[Hobbermittens]

Yeah..... I am dreading it, pretty much. Being pregnant has le me stay in denial for 9 (10) months. Now I get to face the reality of having yet another girl, and my dream of having another son will now never come true. I am pretty much depressed right now.
