She's gorgeous! And you look fantastic.

I'm feeling huge and exhausted now and everything hurts! My face and hands are getting a bit puffy too - not seriously but it's adding to my general grumpiness. My next OB visit is Tuesday (I'll be 39 weeks) and we've agreed she'll do a stretch and sweep though at the moment I feel like I'll be pregnant forever.

DLTAG congrats again, I'm so glad all went well! She is so sweet, I wIsh I looked that good after giving birth!

mum23 I feel like I'm going to be pregnant forever too, even though my induction date is 2 days and 21 hours away! I got a stretch and sweep last week and it just made me lose bits of m plug. I hope it works for you!

I'm grumpy too. My kids were being sooooo hard yesterday and my mom was no help! I found myself yelling and screaming at them like I haven't done before! I ended up locking myself in the bathroom, and started sobbing! My house is a HUGE mess and my husband works ALL weekend (until 5am Monday morning and my induction is at 6am) so it is up to me to get everything cleaned and ready to go. My mom is a terrible house keeper so I'm on my own, and I can barely walk! Maybe I'll bribe my boys with filling up their penny banks so they will be more helpful and fight less. Or maybe I'll get someone from church who can take the older two for a play date! I'm just so overwhelmed with having to face this weekend on m own! Thank goodness the end is almost here!

I'd definitely ask for play date help Thorz. If you give your mother specific tasks will she help? I'm with you on the grumpiness too, our fridge (which is relatively new) stopped working and it seemed like the end of the world this morning. Poor DH was very busy at work and had to deal with sorting that out as well because I was a grumpy mess.

We've just begun the school holidays here and I know the big girls' incessant demands will drive me crazy!

Thorz ask for a play date and some helping cleaning I'm praying now some kind friend will make it easy and offer, can you get your mum to take the big ones to the park?

I'm soooo over being preggie feel for all you ladies but you know it'll be worth it ;-) hang on in there

Thorz! No cleaning for you! You will fall again!

Are you able to hire someone to come in... It would be like 50 -70 bucks I'm guessing

DLTAG -- you look fantastic!!! And your baby girl is beautiful and precious. I am pleased as punch for you. Your cute boys look pretty happy too! How is everyone adjusting? I am so glad you no longer have to cry about and dread that c-section. It's over and you did SO well! Be proud of yourself!

Mum to three -- hang in there. Those last couple of weeks and days are rough...especially if you aren't feeling too well. Not much longer now though!

Thorz -- I agree with WAG, you shouldn't be cleaning! But I know how you feel. I get very stressed out when the house looks like a tornado blasted through and I definitely couldn't handle it the week or so before I had Evan. There's something about wanting to bring a new baby home to a serene and orderly house...I agree with the others in trying to get your mom to do specific tasks. And please DO enlist help from your church. I am sure people would be all too willing to help but you have to let them know! (I'm bad about accepting help too...)

I can't wait for Monday!

Thorz I know how you feel. You have to do everything on your own, husband isn't home, kids are crazy. You really need to think about your health though and not about your messy house. If you fall and break a bone you are really going to be in a jam. Think about what is most important which isn't a clean house but a healthy Mom and baby. Trust me, the dirt, toys, and pee on the toilet will still be there for you when you can safely clean it. I know it is easier said than done

I love the ladies in my church! I sent a blanket email out to everyone, asking if my older two (my mom can handle ds3) could have a play date so I can get ready for the babies arrival, I didn't even mention the fact that my house was a tornado! Within minutes I had at least 5 women ask if my boys could come play with their kids and a handful of other women who don't have kids so can't have play dates, but want to come clean my house! I am so grateful to have such a support system at my fingertips, I just don't know how to let people into my home to clean it, I feel like I SHOULD do it, how weird is it going to be to have people clean my house while I just sit there like a lazy bump on the log? I haven't responded to the ladies who want to clean because I don't know what to say!
