Well this morning I felt ok considering the lack of sleep. Was awake from 12:45am till about 4:30am!! I went for a drive with the kids after I did some housework this morning, as DH is at work today (wants to get a job done in 5 days & have it finished by Tuesday), & while out driving I saw my sister's car parked at the beach, so ended up on the beach with her & stayed a couple of hours. It was a bit windy down there but lovely. My kids were dressed warmly anyway, but I was only wearing a thin long-sleeve top (not expecting to get out of the car), but her DH had a spare jersey so that was perfect.
Now the tiredness is starting to hit me & so the kids are going to bed & I'll go for a sleep also.
I remember this time last week & I was thinking "well surely by NEXT Sunday I would've had baby", but no, still here in one piece!! So, I'll make another prediction: By NEXT Sunday Jett will be here!!!

Thanks for the labour vibes girls - I feel them!!!
Have been having cramps the past 2 nights, but all ceases in the morning. But today everytime I go to walk it feels like he's going to "fall out" & it's sooo uncomfortable & painful! Had to get my mum to pick up the kids & take Rico to kindy, & there is no way I can get the groceries, I can hardly walk. See my MW at 3:30 today, so will be interesting to see what she says. Although she may have to come out to me in the car if I can't walk into the clinic !
Two of my friends came in this morning & did my housework for me! Sooo sweet of them! My housecleaner bailed on me once again, so they came in to help me out. They did more than I asked to be done - the oven & windows! So that was wonderful! I felt so bad seeing them hard at work so went off for a shower so I didn't feel like I was hanging around in their way. I went out & bought lunch for them afterwards.
This thread is sooo quiet now I'm the only one left! Feels a little sad.

Good luck with your MW appt, Italiah...hopefully she only has good news for you but it definitely sounds like it could be any day now!! Not long, and you'll be able to join the mummy threads and join in our newborn woes over there! No doubt, you'll have lots of advice for all us newbies!

Well things are looking good!! First my BP is right up - so MW was excited & said it's pre-labour. Then baby's moved to the left (yay) she thinks as she's sure it's bumpy like the limbs on the right. I asked if she could do a sweep as I wanted to see if I'd dialated. She said I was already 3cm, so stretched me to 4cm. And baby is engaged! So anyday for sure! But who knows... we still made an appt for next Monday "just incase". The stretch wasn't too bad at all really & she said the cervix is sitting right there.

hi girls
Go italiah! Already 4cm dilated! excellent progress - yay Jett is on his way!
well just had word from nzpiper - Sounds like things are working out & hospital might be sending mummy & baby tom home tomorrow!
So good news all round!
sorry that I haven't been on much girls.. I am so distracted with ethan these days (I can see you are alot better than me at being online) I'malways keen to see what everyone is up to - managed a fairly good sleep this morning.
mw came round at 1pm - ethan is growing really well - he has outgrown his newborn nappies so onto the next size up - amazing how quickly they grow at this age huh? Don't grow up to fast baby!!

Ok, so how do I STOP getting my hopes up that i'm going to go into labour overnight???!!!!!
For AT LEAST the past 3 weeks I've been expecting it to happen every day. Over the weekend I was cramping sat & sun nights, then yesterday could hardly walk for a couple of hours due to the pressure on my pelvis. Last night I had a few cramps in the evening but nothing much at all. And I slept relatively well, now today it's all very quiet.
Arrrgghhh, I'm sick of my expectations & wish I could just switch off!

That'll be great if Nikki & Tom can go home today. I bet she's sick of being in hospital!
Justme sounds like Ethan is doing great with already growing out of the newborn nappies. They really aren't little for long are they . Sounds like you're loving your parenting role!

Thanks girls .
And thanks for the update on Melln. Wow - that's a long time to be "waiting" for things to kick in! Hope she doesn't need a c-section after all of this. Only dialating 1cm in a day - how frustrating!
Lets hope it all goes well for her & her baby is born today!
I thought she'd be well & truely holding her little one by now.
Gosh I'm soo bored. Our water is off for the day (stupid council!!) so can't do a lot. Thankfully did a load of washing last night to hang out today. And thankfully I woke earlier this morning & had a shower before they cut off the water. I completely forgot they were cutting it off, so all a coincidence that I was up early & out the door by 9am - when they first cut it - & it's not back on till 3pm!! Can't even have a glass of water . Shows how much we take it for granted huh.
