Last thread can be viewed here guys!

And let me just start off this new thread by saying that we have just received our c/s date!!! OMG I'm getting scared now!!!

LOL Emma......what makes you think it's the 22nd?! Just a 'feeling' or something?! I'm not going to tell you whether it is or it isn't though! I know, I'm a cheeky bugger!

Ooooh yes I hear you on handling the red meat - I am like that with red meat ATM also!!!

[special child]

Good afternoon all,

Just a quick one as I am so tired.

Promise to do personals a little later if not tomorrow.

Really havent done much today, "surprise surprise"

Dropped Samual at Kinder and then went and had a facial. Very nice I must say.

came home made a couple of phone calls. Cried a bit as I am missing Michael (he ended up going to Dubbo with his mate as I really was not up to the trip, Will update on that one later). Then went and picked Samual up from kinder and have prepared dinner.

So why am I so exhausted? I think the past couple of weeks of running around organizing all of Samual's reports have finally caught up with me.

Plan for this evening: (hmmm)......Dinner, Bath Samual, Read him his Devotional book, Bed for Samual, Me....read my book while in the bath. And plan on getting into bed by 8:30pm.

I hope & pray the everyone is having a great day.

Sending special labour vibes to Belle & Mel.

Love heaps to you all.
NOLA & TREACLE.

[kazz30]

Just a quick hello to see how you are all going.

Belle, sending you truckloads of *labour vibes* matey. I hope Julia decides to arrive tonight/tomorrow morning.

Mel, sending you truckloads of *labour vibes* too.

Nola, Ihope you manage to get to bed by 8.30.I hope you didn't get worn out with our catch up, and thats why you didn't go to Dubbo.

Michelle, yay @ being at the half way mark matey. I am so happy for you.

Hello to everyone else. Sorry for not a lot of personals.

[*Michelle*]

Nola i hope you are able to have a early night.

Belle & Mel sending you lots of LV's
Melinda keep us guess that's the name of the game

Kazz it's great to see you back

[special child]

Hey Kazz, Welcome back. Boy I have missed seeing you.

No most definetly not, The day we had was just fantastic and I totally enjoyed catching up with you and finally meeting your adorable little Nicholas. Samual is very happy to have a new friend. I didn't go to Dubbo as I just didnt think I would cope with the 12hr drive back by myself. Michael totally understood just at the same time his mate called to see if he wanted him to go with him. So it all worked out in the end.

Michelle: a HUGE CONGRATS ON the HALF WAY MARK!! you are a total legend. You must be so very happy.

That is enough for me for the moment. Plan going well so far. Samual is fed and currently in the bath. Right on target. Lets just hope the rest of the plan works. hehe

Night night all.

[special child]

Emma, Other than Belle being Induced on Wednesday evening. I would say she could possibly have been in the running to have Julia on your birthday. lol.

[*Beccy*]

Hi Everyone

Kelly ~ Honey, we're all here for you honey. Doesn't matter if you're happy or sad....just try and stay positive. Good m/s signs...when do you go for your scan??

Shell ~ I hope you're feeling better soon. Yes, the tummy is getting bigger and lower everyday. How did you go with releasing the toddler from the confines of home.. has it stopped raining yet?

KAB ~ yes, I'm officially on maternity leave now and so happy. Was starting to feel very tired and uncomfortable. I've been trying to take it easy....but with a 4yo it's hard to sit for more than about 30mins..lol. At least she's at kindy for 3 days a week...so I get to sit and watch a DVD for a couple of hours before going back to collect her! The peace is bliss!! lol.

Nola ~ sorry to hear you've been sooo busy lately...hope things settle down for you soon.

Kazz ~ great to have you back! How are those beautiful boys?

Emma ~ how are those tenpin bowling pains going? Do you usually have trouble cooking raw meat?

Anna ~ sounds like Jett is very close now. Hopefully he'll be here soon for you!

Jess ~ how are you going? How is the m/s going?

Michelle ~ you've been very quiet. How are you feeling? Is the unpacking finished? Settled in yet?

Melinda ~ yah for having a c/s date. Not long now...woo hoo!!

Me ~ good. DH took me shopping today and we bought all the stuff I need to pack my hospital bag. We also bought a new chest of drawers for the nursery...so I should have it all set-up by Wednesday. I can't wait to cluck and fuss...hee hee.

Beccy

[Antheia]

Hi all. Just popping in because i haven't visited in quite a while! Not long to go for me. Only 4.5 weeks! Nothing is organised, oh except we have our pram on lay-by, that's it! Figured we'd get most things when we get the baby bonus. Other than that not much at all is happening here. Except we got married last Saturday! I also have a cold and only just got over one 2 weeks ago, so feeling very sore and sorry for myself.

Hope everyone is well. Sending *labour vibes* to Bel!

[*Michelle*]

Congratulations Tegan and Jacob on your wedding day. Hope you both had a lovely day.

Beccy that's great you should have the nursery set up this week. I'm doing ok just been busy since we moved i still have boxes all over the house to sort out and the spare room has so much stuff just put in it for now. Will have to start sorting more things out this week. It's just finding spaces for it all.
I borught two really cute outfits for the baby today.

I can't believe i am 20wks already. It means i get to met our little girl in just under 20wks and also get to see my dad again. By the time he comes it would have been 40wks since i last saw him as i fell pg while they where here last.

Kelly I'm so pleased to hear everything is okay now. I was so worried about you.

Nola i hope you are having your early night.

Meredith how are you ? Hope you didn't have to work too long today.

Melinda woohoo 36wks today only a couple left to go for you

Emma i think Melinda will miss your birthday by 3 days. They like to do c-sections around or after 38wks.

Belle how are you tonight ? I still can't get on to MSN but i will keep trying.

Jayne, Morgan, Deb, Sarah, Bec, Jess, Chris, Belinda, Beccy, Anna and Soph i hope you are all having a lovely evening.

[kazz30]

Hello again,

Nola, thank goodness it wasn't our meet up that wore you out.

Sarah, congratulations on your BFP matey. I had such a huge smile on my face when Michelle told me you had a BFP.

Beccy, OMG, you are already over 30 week!! Where has the time gone?! Your belly shot looks really good. Nicholas and Declan are both well, thanks for asking. Declan now weighs 9.4kgs, found that out today when I saw the MCHN.

Meredith, how are you going matey?? I hope you didn't have a late night at work tonight.

Melinda, oohh you are cheeky keeping when you will have your c-section. I bet the date can't come around quick enough.

Deb, congrats to you too matey. It is fantastic to see you in here. I know this bubs will be a sticky little bean and next year you will have a gorgeous little bubs in your arms.

Anna, I hope decides to arrive for you soon. You sound like you are in a bit of pain, you poor thing.

Tegan, wow not long to go for you. How are you feeling??

Emma, wow look at your ticker!! Gabby will be here in not time.

Chris, how are you going??

Hi to everyone else and

[AnnaT]

Back from my OB appointment. BP was elevated again but not rush-into-hospy bad - yet. He is super concerned about it soooooo I have to take some tablets and see him in a week. If its still elevated, we can discuss getting this little monster out if he doesnt come on his own (which Im hoping he does!) He is def on his way out according to OB. I also tested + for Group B strep Uhhh losing weight now instead of gaining! I lost another 700grms. Bub is happily playing away in there, wish he would get his butt into gear and pop out so we can play on the outside. Much more fun!
UPDATE:
So I went and got my rx filled for the BP tablets and after reading the info leaflet that comes with it Im really concerned about taking them now The leaflet says that you cant come off the meds suddenly you have to wean off them or there could be possible heart complications PLUS you arent allowed to breastfeed while taking them. I want to breastfeed bub but if I have to take them right up until the birth then I wont be able too because theyll still be in my system I just dont see why he doesnt induce me if my BP is such a worry that he's prescribing meds. Its not like Im 25-30wks pregnant, Im full term for crap sake. Id rather be induced in the next week than take these meds and be forced into a position of not being able to breastfeed.
Im going to ring OB tomorrow and tell him how I feel and see what he says. I just dont see why theyd say all this in the leaflet if it wasnt really important info to know?

Ah how am I supposed to keep relaxed when I have to go through all this

[*Beccy*]

Anna ~ I would definately be phoning the OB to discuss. You are like 2 days away from 38wks...and they do a c/s at 38wks!! I hope Jett comes soon for you! I can hear how frustrated you are in your posts! Good luck...let us know what the OB says!!

Beccy

[kellym]

Hi Everyone!!

I hope everyone is well today! I'm feeling really good again today, so finally, I'm going to attempt some personals! I must say, it's SOOOOO great being at home, I could definitely get used to this.

Beccy - Thanks for your support! I'm off to have my scan tomorrow afternoon - yay!!!! I can't wait, although am a little worried that it might be too early. My ob wanted to see me at 7wks and I think I'll only be just over 6wks but I'm not putting it off, so we'll see how it goes. I'll try and get another scan for a couple of weeks time too, just to keep my mind at ease!! How exciting about getting the nursery set up - it must be absolutely incredible - enjoy!!

Emma - Hope you are well and your day isn't too boring! No more tennis hay and OMG how funny was your post after you went bowling - pml - I can only imagine what it must have been like!!!

Nola - I hope everything went to plan last night and you got a fantastic nights sleep!!

Michelle - Thanks for thinking of me - you're all just soo wonderful!! Congrats on 20wks - that's fantastic.

Melinda - Congrats on getting your c/s date - GL!

Tegan - Hope you're starting to feel better and CONGRATULATIONS on the wedding. I'm sure it was a gorgeous day for you both!!

Anna - How are you feeling today? Sending you lots and lots of Hope you were able to talk to you OB.

Shell - Hope you're feeling better honey!! Isn't gastro just the worst, especially when you're pg - I was just beside myself with worry!!

Deb - How are you going today? I hope the m/s isn't too bad. I'm still waiting for it to kick in for me, although the last two days my bbs have been getting quite achy, so that's great!!!

Chris - How are you? Hope you managed to get the house clean the other day. Thinking of you!

Merideth - Hope all is going well.

Bel - Still sending you heaps and heaps of labour vibes!!!

Sarah - How are you? Hope all is still going well and the m/s is too bad. When are you going for your scan?

Jess - How are you? Hope everything is going well.

I'm so sorry if I missed anyone - it is really hard to keep up in here!! As for me, I'm doing pretty good!! As I mentioned above, I'm going to see my ob tomorrow afternoon, so I just can't wait to hear that everything is ok! I hope it's not too early to see anything though but we'll deal with that if we have to!! I just can't wait to hear how far along I am, as I really don't know and my EDD - very exciting!!

Well I'm off to buy a new dishwasher today - ours is on it's last legs and I soooo can't go without one!! It's the one luxury we just have to have.

Take care everyone.

Hi girls

Thank you all so much for thinking of me, Im still here waiting... she must be real comfy inside...no signs of her wanting to come out naturally today...Im sorry for no personals, I dont feel well been sick with headache all night and took panadol and took panadine this morning and still feeling ill. When I went to the loo last night I have huge white/clear CM.. didnt look like a plug.. but it was huge, not pink or blood stained.. is this a sign? I really feel like crap today.. will try and come back later on, just went out to get some fruit..

Thanks for all the labour vibes, and best wishes you are all so sweet. I will log back on later to see how you all are when I feel a little better... thinking of all of you.

[kellym]

Aaawwww Bel - I hope you start feeling a little better soon. I don't know much about labour but it does sound to me like things might be happening. I remember one of my friends feeling really *off* the night before she went into labour, so it could be your body getting ready for it - lets hope so. Like I said though, I know nothing about labour but my fingers are crossed for you and I'm sending you all the labour vibes I can muster!!

Take care - I'm praying that it's all going to happen naturally for you in the next day or so!!

[Flowerchild]

Just a quick visit - hello to everyone.
I am sorry Anna that you are going through all of this. What bp medication are you on? In most cases you will have it out of your system by the time the baby comes. However, if you really feel that you want to be induced rather than taking medication then you need to put that to your doctor. I am glad you are phoning him today. I am thinking of you

Belle - the mucous is a really good sign sweetie. Any increase is a good sign. I know tomorrow is Induction day - try to put that out of your head as it puts too much pressure on you to "perform". Can you have another stretch and strip today???
I am thinking of you Belle

HI to everyone else - so glad you are feeling better Kelly xoxox
