[Steelgoddess]

Hey ladies

I KNOW im not in 3rd tri anymore but I just wanted to say when you have your LO's please cherish the first week especially that first day...

I was naughty and didnt sleep, i couldnt was too excited, glad i didnt now. Theres always time for sleep a bit later...

Just really savour that moment, take a thousand pics.

My LO is over a week old now and come out of hozzie a week ago. i feel so emotional about it that a week has passed already since we have been home. Its been amazing!

Anyway take care for now!

So true! Same as your last week being pregnant! You will miss it!
Time passes so incredibly quickly before you know it 5 months has gone!

Me sneaking back into. Its true the time goes sooooo fast! And they change so quick Ivy has started to thin out and fit her skin now she still has her little hammy cheeks but her face is already getting more defined and more character is showing through, its amazing. Sure people don't probably need telling but do enjoy every second of it also if your worried you wont like the nappys don't worry! Haha I actually love changing her butt because I know I fed her that! LOL!!! It makes me proud haha!

Every time you get woke up in the night remember its because your little girl or boy has woke you because they love you and just want a cuddle, feed or change and they rely on you. I love how unspoilt and accepting of love baby's are Ivy amazes me so much its the most wonderful feeling in the world nothing beats it.

I remember I spent that first couple of weeks being so paranoid and scared that he was gonna grow cos he was so tiny and I loved him so much I didnt want him to ever change! I didnt sleep either that first week, I dont think its possible when you're so amazed! But now I dont really notice him growing as he is still as cute as ever and I now look forward to all the new things he is starting to do! I'd happily go back in time and give birth all over again just to do that first few days again (and it was only 8weeks ago!). You've all got so much to look forward to xx

Awwwww. Thanks for the advice. I didn't really think of it like that. Now thinking about it it's true. I can't wait to just spend time staring at LO while shes sleeping or even when shes awake. I suppose its the natural thing to do because theyre so amazing. They're the greatest miracle of life and that's an under-statement. I'm just going to relax and be calm and enjoy every little second with my LO when she arrives. Thanks for the reminder

I hope all goes well and she turns out to be a healthy bundle of joy. I really really really cant wait now. I'm so excited

Thanks for taking the time to give us your advice... its really thoughtful.

You must be so proud of your LO - he is a dote.

That is lovely Sharne!

Definately enjoy the last few weeks of your pregnancy. I moaned and complained so much and I couldn't wait for it to be over. I actually miss being pregnant now despite all the problems I had during it.

[claireyfairey]

What lovely advice Thanks Sharne, Nicki, Laura and littlepip I'm so ready to meet my little girl!

 

[Chelle]

Awwww that's a lovely post and I enjoyed reading it. Thank you
I'm so excited to meet my baby boy and i'm going to cherish every single second and take in every detail of him each day. I'm so excited

I always knew I wanted to be a mummy and I absolutely love being one- I've loved the whole process- being pregnant, giving birth, feeding and now listening to Kathryn belly-laugh is the best tonic ever. I wish I could bottle up how I feel these days and give myself a dose of this feeling whenever I might feel sad in the future- it's a cure for everything I tell ya!

Good luck to all you girls who are coming to the end of your pregnancies- the best is yet to come, but getting there is amazing also xxx

 

[ninjawomble]

I know Im gonna miss being pregnant,but Im such a pessimist that I cant enjoy it as Im always worrying about the small stuff or something going wrong

I know I'll look back and think, I wish Id taken time to enjoy it..and its what I intend to start doing!!

Thanks for you lovely post Sharne

 

[Carebear2]

Aww I agree,great advice

 

[Morganuk]

You will never experience a moment like the one you when you meet your baby for the first time.

Its so emotional, amazing, enchanting, magical & beautiful.

You could sit and stare at them for hrs on end taking in every last little detail of this little person that you created and who grew inside you for 9 whole mths.

Enjoy ladies.

Jack is already 6 weeks old tomorrow...it has gone SOOOO FAST!!

I can second what Sharne said...take a thousand pics...in fact a million!!

No matter how god awful you feel or think you look after birth, take pictures. No one has to see them but you..and you will cherish them the most for years to come.

ALSO- Don't just take close up pics of babies face, get a pic of the whole of them, especially next to things that will show just how small they are. You will soon see how quickly they grow and change.

And cherish those last days of pregnancy, you never know when the big day will come and when that last bump pic will be - including your face in the pic - you will soon forget just how pregnant you were!
