Congratulations Flinty!

This website hates me too, and won't let me upload a pic, but I too look like a whale!

Flo - My friend has 8 bloody kids!!!! Can you imagine! And she had them all naturally! Mad woman she is, reckon she gets a few funny stares in the street

Roxy - I think that is amazing that she's already done a 7 hour stint of sleep, that is so good, I bet you are just so glad that she's a good baby! I hope so much that I have a good little baby too!! I can't wait to have my little new born cuddles, I just can't imagine it ever happening at the moment!

Bloody hell guys, I am a whole sodding week overdue today. 7 DAYS OVERDUE!!!!!! Oh my!!! Remember me saying ages ago about the old psychic woman that stopped me at a bus stop in london? Maybe she was right! She said "darling this baby will keep you waiting til the 14th August" which could so be right! That is on Sunday. I wish I knew who she was just so I could tell her she's an amazing psychic. I mean, she was right about everything else, why would this one detail be wrong eh! I will be 9 days overdue that day. I never told this woman my due date either.

Summer! How are you finding overdue life?! Its a killer isn't it! xx

 

[Summergurl]

Omg 8 kids! That's nuts.

Aw Lexi an entire week. Has it just been the longest week of your life?! I remember you saying about the psychic woman, let's hope she is right & baby makes their entrance very soon on the 14th so your not waiting a minute longer! I love all the psychic stuff, wish one would stop me and tell me when I'm dropping this kid!

Overdue life is horrendous. Every morning so far I've woken up with huge disappointment that it didn't happen over night. It's my birthday tomorrow and I just can't feel excited for it. I was all geared up for a little family day with our newborn with us but that's not going to happen now. I'll either be in hospital (I hope!!) or at the little family do with bump in tow. I'm also very emotional at the fact that it's inevitable now that my brother won't see his niece/nephew until April next year.

Heading into town today guna have a little mooch around and buy my oh's birthday presents for September so that's one less thing to worry about when baby is here.

What are we all up to?

 

[Flo1]

The weather is nice today so I'm gonna try putting DS in his little swimming pool and clean the windows outside. I'm also busy with OH's anniversary present (wedding anniversary the end of this month and I don't think I will finish it in time. I'm not even halfway...)

Summer: maybe your baby arrives on your birthday!
Lexi: imagine that lady being right about the date!

 

[Summergurl]

Flo I'm almost prepared for that to happen, it would mean my 30th and baby's 1st next year. It's also one of my best friends birthdays on Sunday so we've said all along its bound to happen on one of them!

 

[HopeJoy29]

DUE TOMORROW - nothing.. Not even a niggle.
I hope i go on my due date but i think its really rare that it happens.

Anyone else fed up? Due? Overdue?

Obviously - i know he'l come when hes ready.... BUT the wait is making my really anxious.


Xxx

 

[Lulie]

Fingers crossed for you he arrives on his due date Hopejoy! Feeling abit fed up myself to be honest, just want him to be here now, this last bit is really dragging!

No signs either here really, I've had the runs slightly yesterday and today but doubt it's labour related as haven't had any other symptoms. Let's hope we get some weekend babies on this thread!

 

[flexilexi394]

Summer I reckon you'll share a birthday with your baby! I know what you mean about the disappointed feeling of waking up in the morning and gutted that labour didn't start in the night, that has been me for a couple of weeks now.

Hopejoy come on we need someone to go on time! Hahaha!! Get these babies out. Clearly they like the temperature inside us at this time of year or something, all the june and july mums seemed to all have theirs early or on time!

Yesterday was a right drag for me - I felt quite down and emotional and didn't get out my pyjamas all day, and slept loads, but today I am forcing myself to be much happier and positive, I ran the hoover round and mopped the hard floor areas of the flat this morning, and I have had a nice bath and washed and blow dried my hair and painted my nails. Adam has taken the day off today bless him to be with me and keep me company, so he just took sofia to the park for a little while to get her out. I can't be arsed to leave the house still but I feel clean and I feel my environment is clean now hahaha so I am happy, only so much more cleaning I can do though! I could do the bathroom AGAIN but I have done it like 3 times this week I am worried the chemicals will start eating away at the enamel on the bloody sink and bath and toilet

So sofia goes off to her dads for the weekend this afternoon which is a small relief mainly because I feel so sorry for her that I can't exactly do tonnes with her! Luckily her dad always has good things planned with her so I am sure she will love being there for the weekend where she can play and be entertained by her step sister too, they often take them out for good days out and stuff so that is nice! And one of the mums from school has offered to take her to the beach on monday which is just perfect, even if baby is here by then at least she can go out with her friend for a few hours on monday so I can deal with new born etc and sofia can come home to him I am really hoping lol.

This Limbo feeling is hard work! I don't want to plan too much but I am a little bored but I ache everywhere so don't want to go out ahhhh!!! xxx

 

[HopeJoy29]

LULIE - I hope you go soon. I had alot of diareha last week and it didnt come to anything. Would be nice if our babies came on their due date. Xxx

FLEXILEXI - are you over due? You sound as fed up as me. I've had a nice bath done my hair & had a clean up too- i hope its a sign. We both go very soon! my son starts high school next week so i really hope my baby comes today/tomorrow so i'm organised and here for him starting highschool. I was really young ( 18 ) when i had him.... My baby is all grown up! I get loads of comments bcos of the age gap.... But to be honest it took us a LONG time to be blessed with another baby.

Hope you girls have a great day... Happy focused & positive thoughts for us all xxxx

 

[Flo1]

Hopejoy, what age is your son then? There's a gap of 11 years between me and my little sister and people were sometimes quite rude about it against my parents, but I always loved it. And it was easy for my mum I think, having me to babysit etc. Don't worry about what people think, it'll be nice for your children.

 

[HopeJoy29]

Oh thats terrible isnt it? Ppl are so quick to judge. My son is turning 12 in december. We found out in december of last year that we were pregnant and this december will so nice to have them both ❤️❤️ Xx
Me and my partner are still together & married now but they still have something to say.

Feel like a new mum bcos its been so long xxx

 

[Nickinakinoo]

Nothing to report here, last night baby was really active it was like nothing I've ever felt before so I didn't fall asleep until almost 5am! Seems to have gone back to normal now but I'm keeping an eye on it, My cousin freaked me out (not intentional but I don't think she realised what she said till she said it) basically her little boy pooed but she was getting a c section and had no idea but after he was born they told her another 4-5 hours he would have been in serious trouble. So now I'm like well what if I don't notice something. I'm such a worrier!

Nothing much going on today, just watching the olympics replay and avoiding the garden as the in laws are out and if the dogs hear them they bark and want to go play and I just can't be bothered making small talk, mil keeps asking if I have any niggles, no still no! I'm grumpy can you tell?

Might go and watch fireworks tonight down the funfair and there is a kite festival over the weekend so might head out to that. Just need to keep busy but then when I'm busy I don't notice movements then I panic.

Wonder how many babies will arrive this weekend? Summer a birthday baby would be amazing not sure labour on your birthday would be such a good thing!

 

[flexilexi394]

HopeJoy darling I am 7 days OVERDUE!!!!! 7 DAYS I TELL YOU!!!! so yes, a little fed up but feeling alright today, Yesterday I was well and truly fed up but today I feel a bit more sane.

Nicki its very rare for them to poo inside when you aren't in labour, a lot of them poo when you go into labour and it still doesn't necessarily mean they are in distress, thats why you gotta stay chilled and try not to worry about things like that because it really isn't that often that it happens.

xx

 

[Lulie]

I totally understand where you are coming from Nicki, I'm a right worrier and this baby just can't win. If he's quiet I think there's something wrong and if he's active I start convincing myself he's distressed! Just trying to chill out but I know it's hard..soon we'll all have our babies, then Il probably be one of those mum's that check that baby is breathing every 5 mins!

 

[Summergurl]

I had a moment earlier where I thought something might be happening I had quite bad cramps and stomach tightenings but when I got up, moved about and peed it's gone. I did get a little excited through the pain but it wasn't meant to be.

Hopejoy I am sooooooo fed up. I'm 3days over and I'm irritated, hot & bored. I've been off work 3 weeks now and still nothing!

Anybody else getting fed up with being told 'enjoy your time alone' ?

Today I've posted a couple pics on Facebook and that seems to be the general comments oh and stupid people asking 'are you still waiting' .... Well obviously you idiot that's why I've just put a picture up!

 

[GillM]

I keep logging on for all of these baby announcements that aren't happening yet!! I hope everyone isn't too fed up!! We're all good - ds1 has croup and ds2 had an unsettled night so I'm beyond knackered but so in love with my little brood!! Totally worth it!!! Xx

 

[flexilexi394]

Hey Gill!!! Awww soo good to hear from you though.... I am sooo jealous right now! How is it all going settling in with 2 kiddies now?! I can't wait!

Summer, my god I actually posted a really shitty status yesterday basically telling people that no I haven't hidden a baby anywhere and YES I am still pregnant and don't worry I won't keep it a hidden secret once I have had him so that has shut people up

Lulie I remember when my daughter was born I was always checking she was breathing! I wasn't excessive with it but it was one of the first things i looked for whilst she was napping, it is frightening having a new born because they are like little bombs, sick, poo crying, to bloody SIDS... its terrifying!!!! xxx

 

[Summergurl]

Haha Lexi

Glad to hear from you Gill, hopefully your little ones get better soon.

Oh my god sids really frightens me. I just know I'm going to be obsessed with checking the baby. I've even said to the OH we may have to swap sides in bed so that the way I fall asleep is facing the baby rather than my back to him/her. I'm going to be a nightmare with it!

I think quite a few people on here were expecting a lot more August announcements by now. Why are our babies so comfy?!

 

[Flo1]

Gill, I hope your ds2 doesn't get the croup too. Glad to hear you're settling well!
Just had 4 painful contractions in 40mins and trying to keep myself calm. OH is cooking and it will be delicious but he's always very slow) so I hope if it persists it goes slow enough to still have dinner first! Knowing my body it's just another practice though...

What is SIDS?

 

[Nickinakinoo]

I've got a angelcare for when he's in his cot and a snuuza for when he's in his Moses basket, snuuza clips to nappy and senses breathing, yeah I'm going to be one of those mums!

Thanks for the reasurrence, I'm trying to stay calm and not think too much! I'm suprised we've not had more babies yet, maybe they'll be a boom over the weekend!

Flo SIDS is sudden infant death syndrome (cot death) xx
