All going well so far, we're getting into a little routine I hope. She feeds about every three hours and slept from about half three to half seven with just one little cry. I feel like a new person today
She's a little jaundice and has to have a blood test in a few mins to see what her levels are like. If they are elevated well have to stay one more night for observation.
Ladies, I so can't wait for ye to have your little bundles. It is just the most amazing feeling in the world, there are no words to describe it. Its amazing when someone else is holding her and she hears my voice or her daddys voice and turns towards it. But forget about ever having hot food or drinks ever again!
Aww that sounds amazing ash! delighted for you!
can't wait to see a few more pictures of herself when ya get home!0 -

Is there some aversion to babies having bright colours in their lives? Where are the bright (and I'm not asking for 80s lumo colours) crib sheets, cellular blankets etc!
Honestly it drives me slightly nutty
I'm not sure what size crib you have, but we ordered these from Amazon to fit our Ikea crib. Chose them because of the bright color choices (lime green, jaffa orange, a few shades of blue and pink...) and the quality is really nice, soft jersey.

Thanks feest I'm actually looking for our crib (Moses basket size) at the moment but will be saving those for the cot
I'm not sure they do Saurelin...I think the mass market just supplies what the mass market wants pastel blue & pink, lemon & cream...even mint and lilac are hard to find :rolleyes: If I get my way & can do a little experiment and sure most of her sleep suits are colourful anyway
Update: They do a crib size so will order one with my next order 0 -

Notsobusy, pay no attention to that woman, no point stressing over it, she is being inconsiderate end of!
Twomums, go with some men's PJ bottoms, I should have thought of that for myself actually, they are nearly always dark & would be really comfy probably.
I'm a crying mess on and off this evening. I did a good bit of physical work today (cleaning/nesting
) and then got the dinner & dessert done. OH had a big gig tonight & needed his black jeans, which were wet on the clothes horse. He was annoyed re this but then he never tells me if he needs something for gigs & I just wash stuff as soon as I can get the previous load dry. He was very short with me when leaving etc.
It wasn't like he specifically gave out to me (cos he may f*ck off if he did) but it was just that bit of being annoyed with me that set me off. I realise now I can't handle it at all, it wouldn't have upset me before, I'm just so sensitive today with being physically tired. Going to have to tell him to just be extra careful with me for the next few weeks. It's literally ruined my whole evening, big panda eyes on me :rolleyes:
must be the weekend for grumpy,narky arsed men;)
i had the pleasure of sitting in with mine last night and he was being a rite pain in the arse (kinda wished he would feck off out for a while)
had to cook lunch for 11 yesterday so was wrecked by last night ,
was not in the mood for himself huffing and puffing away on the couch (he is off the fags for 2 days and like a dog over it)
watched the most confusing movie ever"safehouse" or something (cia against m16 or maybe cia agaist cia....who knows) and then smartypants himself patronising me when i admitted i was totally lost.:rolleyes:
i went off to bed in a thick but woke up at 4.30 still cross so ended up watching freinds on the couch for the night,
roll on monday and he is back to work.....peace:D0 -

Oh Kash how did you manage 10 hours, I'd literally kill for that now!!
I managed 7 hours in bed last night,I won't call t 7 hours of sleep, was up 3 times to the loo and every 30 mins to turn. My left hip went into spasm again, so now I have a dead hip/leg, it's really weird.
BTW is there a "June" thread at all? Never noticed, Hub commented today that the July thread is very active.....*Waves* Hi Hun!! 0 -
I think I've hit a brick wall all of a sudden.. went to the hospital 2 weeks ago and they checked my iron and it was too low so I'm taking two tablets per day and am back there tomorrow for another test, I'm due 2 weeks from tomorrow... My sleep is all over the place, can't get comfortable at all... I'd be fecked if I went into labour now, wouldn't manage one push never mind the lead up to it!

Is there anywhere other then bed that you can get comfortable? Sitting on the couch length ways with my feet up and a memory foam pillow really helps me, I can nap sitting up like that leaning against the back of the couch.
Have you been on a ball at all?0 -
Ginny my mrs reads the thread too so you can wave to her as well she did ask me if I minded first
Saurelin that's true for us all...colours affecting our mood etc. It is one of the reasons are nursery is a sage green colour still no reason I shouldn't be able to buy calming green sheets If I was more handy with a sowing machine I would make my own but alas I am not 0 -
Robinc I felt like that last week: how about the couch? I find the couch great because I can get a bit more comfortable: or I kick hubbie out of the bed for the whole night so I can stretch across. Make sure you tell them how tired you are in the hosp just so they know too there really is nothing worse. Hope you feel a bit better soon
Mmmn-chicken: i tried to watch safehouse last night too. I gave up and went to bed: I swear to god i could not tell you what was going on in it!
Ginny I have two nightdresses and a pj bottoms in my labour bag: one for being in labour and one for after I give birth. Then I have two pairs in the ward bag and another three pairs for hubby to bring in if needed. I'll have a minimum of 3 days in hosp, 5 if its a section and depending on what time you give birth (think its after 3) it will be 4/6 nights.0 -
I wouldn't mind too much being like this only for you need to have some energy for the labour.. I haven't tried the ball, might invest though cause I'll try anything now to get comfortable...

*wave* Hubs has been around boards longer then I have We never really cross paths, although he has says I'd be banned in his forums for my strong opinions on rugby...:D
RobinC, Argos have a good one for €8:50 with a foot pump, if you're close to one, I think it's a pro-fitness one. I just spent an hour on mine bouncing, I swear to god I'll do anything now to make this baby come out at least on time! 0 -

Although nothing like your situation...I kinda understand as since a section was first mentioned I've felt like I don't know which way it will go & I have no plan...I'm the kinda person who likes to prepare!
Sounds like an induction is perfect in your situation
His concern with me is babies size, my size and my dodgy hip! If she doesn't engage he expects a long labour just to get to 10cm and then a lot of pushing which my hip might not tolerate so after all that I could end up with an emergency section! I trust his judgement...all I want is my baby here safe by any means a very long labour would concern me!
Yep my partner will be with me either way. He said she can do skin to skin while I'm being stitched up & hold the baby next to me so I've some contact. She won't be able to cut the cord due to having a sterile environment which is a shame but she is ok about it
Have to wait & see what he says in two weeks 0 -
It's the lack of "knowing" that's driving me mad. All along I was told I would go early, I wouldn't make it to 35 weeks etc. then when things improved I was told I shouldn't go past 40 weeks (even when I was TTC) I knew that. Now I have midwives telling me I probably won't be induced etc: so it's the complete lack of any shape of "plan" that's killing me!!
Hubby isn't coming in if it's a section: I don't think he'd be able for it esp after the last day
I hate how you can't prepare with labour/giving birth! I just hate how you have no control over it! I wish you knew that's the anal retentive control freak in me coming out!! 0 -
