Due in August 2009

Love the name Alessandra - congrats Livs_mum

I think my plug is now coming away, noticed some jelly-like stuff last night just before bed. And very crampy yesterday evening and through the night. In fact quite achy now round the lower back. DH has an uncanny ability to accurately state things like the time when he can't see a clock, or arrival times on long journeys and he has said all along that this baby will be bang on due date because he has "accurate sperm".... Will have to wait and see just how right he is lol!!

At antenatal last night one of the liaison/assistant people was sitting there quite happily and calmly timing her contractions!!

Hope today goes well for Danny and Aquarius - and maybe a walk will get that boy moving for you Megan!! Hope so.

Humph! Now I'm grumpy - although completely ecstatic for you Gardengirl - this is sucking big time. I can just see that I'll end up getting induced at hospital which is like 2 things I want to avoid like the plague. While we're at it - let's through in an emergency c-section. That will just make my freakin' day! Arrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!!

That's it - I'm going to go out and get my feijoa smoothie, go see the vet to see if we can get some more eye drops for Maggie without having to have her do a full check up (how much you want to bet they can't...) and then I might have a pity party while drinking too much feijoa smoothie and watching Sex & The City.

And did I mention, we left the windown on the back of the truck down the other week and with the wind all this rain went in the back - which is where the dogs travel and then the sun baked it all into a disgusting sweaty, musty smelling mess. We've been airing it out for days and it won't go. Have to sprinkle more baking soda in there today.

I know, I know, I know...but I fluctuate from negative to positive. Yesterday was a good day. Today's not such a good day. Feijoa smoothie will make me feel better so, by god, that's where I'm headed!

Will be good to see MW tomorrow - hopefully will make it seem like things are going somewhere.

Don't be that ecstatic Megan - like Shena says, that jelly stuff doesn't mean anything's necessarily going to happen soon. I'm hopeful, but certainly not convinced lol! Although I like the idea of DH having prompt and timely sperm lol!

I think your boy will surprise you, none of this endless niggly symptoms, just wham - look out Mum, get in that birthing pool cos I'm a-coming!!

Thats what I think to Allison! I really hate all this niggly stuff...cramps, increased CM, loose BM's yadda yadda, they all can mean labour and then again it can just be an end of pregnancy thing.
I would rather have no niggles what so ever and then just- "heelloooo baby!". The niggles give you false hope lol.

Thats why Im telling myself everytime I ahve some niggles "Its nothing" lol so i dont get my hopes up!.

hehe who knows!

I just got home from the MW, Baby is still posterior so she's leant me a book on correct positioning which she said other mothers have found helpful. Hopefully if I do what it tells me this little girl will roll over! Had a scan just after that, and she is approximately 7 pounds 5 ounces, and has a head circumference of 32.5cm's. I don't know if that is average or what, but my Mum was there with me and mentioned that I was only 6 pound 10 ounces at birth, so she is supposedly bigger than I was! I know the scan sizes aren't necessarily accurate though

Getitng on your hands and knee's and stuff is good for turning posterior babies and sitting on a chair backwards etc. Hope bubs turns for ya!

Megan that sucks vets are so bloody expensive aye!

I may have had like the worst lunch ever: huge glass of feijoa smoothie, spicy bhuja mix, and then a bowl containing 3 mini donuts, ice cream and chocolate sauce...Bubs seems to enjoy it though!

well, talk about wham, bam, thank you ma'am. My waters just broke....AND - they are pink!!!! Come on homebirth!
