Shazza - That's great you have been so productive today - go you! You'll get that hospital bag finished in no time. What spurs me on to get all the baby stuff sorted out now, is that if I'm stuck in hospital, DH would not have a clue!! I've just given him a tour around the baby's room to show him where everything is. Oh, and I've set up the baby monitor today and the little lullabies made me all teary :D

Ooooh, and this week is my last week at work :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:D

Well after you asked me if DH would have any idea I decided today to pull my finger out and get myself a bit more sorted. After I'd done the cupboard and my bag I then gave DH a bit of a tour and explained where everything was, explained which nappies he would need to bring, which pads if I need anymore and what sized clothes each drawer holds

Hopefully now if he needs to pick anything up from the house he will have a bit more of an idea what and where everything is

Hurrah for last week at work

Wow!! what sizes were your other 2 Krystal?

DD1 was 8lb 15oz and DD2 was 9lb 8oz I knew this one wasn't going to be a dainty 7lber... But still!!

Wow Krystal, she's stunning. I still can't believe you pushed out an 11lber!! Ahhh, 3 little girls, how lovely :T How long was the labour?

Thank you, me too! lol... Apparently, officially in my notes they have it as 5hrs... But I think that must just be a number plucked from thin air because I don't know how they worked it out? My contractions basically started about 7am Fri morning, they were short but frequent for an hour, but then went to long but only every 10mins or so... We managed to stay at home until 9:30pm and they never really went to "3 in 10mins" they were quite sporadic, but very painful... The hospital made me go to triage to check I was in labour (cos after 2, you know... You still can't tell apparently :rolleyes: ) and I was 4cm... Admitted to delivery suite at 11:30ish and finally got the G&A.. She was delivered at 1:09am...

Well done and congratulations on all the births, ladies. Not been on for a couple of days and quite a few babies have made an appearance! I will be reading your birth story, if you choose to post one, Krystal! An 11lber - blimey :eek:

^^That's the edited version lol... I hope to post a birth story just because it was such an unusual one... But I'll really need to do one for DD2 too... Since I posted DD1s but never got round to finishing the second one lol...

Gorgeous girls Krystal I hope you didn't have too many newborn sleepsuits - don't think they'd fit her!

Didn't have any newborn clothes at all after having too large babies... But even I am surprised at how snug the 0-3s are on her lol..

Goodluck for tomorrow Tickle.

Yay for 24 weeks Madbird.

Krystal, im looking forward to reading your birth story.

I'm just about to throttle DS as he refuses to get dressed and he thinks it's fine to walk up to school in his jammies. I'm trying to keep cool cos shouting at him makes him more stubborn. Looks like it will be a last minute crying match at 8:30 !!!

Teenie_D

Aw poor you Nic, they can be little horrors in the morning especially when you are in rush, I usually try the "I'll race you to get dressed/time you" with K and it always works

I woke up again this morning with VERY swollen tonsils, they are not painful but they just about cover the whole of the back of my throat, no much wonder I couldn't breathe when I was sleeping!!! Anyone else get this?

Good Morning Ladies,

Congrats on 24 weeks MadBird - Sorry for the rubbish nights sleep

Having my first RLT of the day. I wonder if it will actually make a difference?! Off to get in the shower and walk the dog and then just potter around the house today I think - finish off the washing and mop the kitchen floor. Exciting life hey???

Hope everyone has a good day x

Hello ladies

Well I won't go into how tired I am. Same !!!!!! different day. I wish I was finishing work now, god knows why I thought it would be a good idea to work upto 38 weeks. Think I need to look at taking some extra time off, or having a few *sick* days .

We are all sorted now for baby except for the few essentials my friend has promised us, moses basket, baby bouncer, baby monitors, breast pump.
she is not the most organised person in the world, whereas I like to be super organised. she has a very stressful job and 2 toddlers so I'm trying not to mither, at what point should I start getting worried about not having the stuff yet?

I can hang on for everything else but I'm desperate to get the moses basket as I'm not sure what it looks like, what condition it is in etc, it might not even be suitable for all i know (not that i'd say that to her). Still 5 weeks til my due date.

I keep offering to go and pick it up and she is like 'oh no, i'll bring it to you, you shouldn't be carrying it all' but still no sign..............how do I gently remind her without coming across as demanding?
