Excited and so happy!

[Gayle30]

Just wish I could shake my sore head....
Anyway, my midwife has just been on the phone after I called her to ask about breast feeding classes or support in our area. She has signed me up for Bump to Bump classes which will cover this and is over and above our parent craft classes. Looking forward to going to them!
I also had some questions about my detailed scan which she was able to answer. The sonographer didn’t have much to say and didn’t interact so I was kind of in the dark. Then the emotion got the better of me at the end when she said I was having a little girl and I forgot to ask about the cyst they found at 5 weeks. It was 4inches and a real pain. Had me in bed for a week at one point and seemed to grow from nothing to 4 inches which was quite big. The scan said nothing to report so it looks like my body has dispersed it by itself and shouldn’t need treatment when I have the section. They were planning to remove an ovary at the same time so this is a big relief to me!!! The lovely midwife was also able to confirm that all is well with our baby girl. Love how she said girl as I still cant believe it myself!
And finally I just ordered my little girl’s crib bedding and changing mat from Next. Gone for the Molly and Mia range from their autumn and winter preview catalogue. It is just gorgeous and so girly – little mice having a tea party!!! I can’t wait for it to arrive now! 15% off and free delivery!!!
Off home to see if I can shift my sore head and then show Daisy’s Daddy all the pretty things we have for her. Granny keeps going on mad pink spending sprees!!!!
I couldn’t be happier these days. I feel like a right pain for being a walking talking bundle of (pink) happiness.

Excellent excellent excellent on every aspect of this post (except your sore head hjope it buggers off soon!!!!!!!)

You carry on being mad heehee xxx

 

[Gayle30]

I honestly cannot wait. Everything about her excites me. I love my fat tummy cause thats her home for the next few months, I love how she wrigles about as I know she is ok in there and I love knowing now that she is a she!!!! Best thing I ever did was find out.

I really am annoying though- I have nothing else to talk about these days other than being a mum. Good job I have the forum cause I would be a lonely lady if I was to tell my friends all this! They'd soon be sick of me!!!

My grandad doesnt call me Sunshine for no reason

As the others have said, you stay happy and excited, and feel free to keep spreading it around! I know it helps keep me up beat when I'm having a down day and I'm lucky to have such a happy bump buddy as I can be a miserable cow sometimes!

Anyway, I just hope that Stewart likes pink as he's going to have two girly girls in his life soon but I bet he's going to be one proud daddy. Im glad that all was okay about the cyst too, sounds like your midwife was brilliant.

Keep spreading that sunshine hon!XX

Aww girls.....I'm all overcome with emotion now. I'm so excited I really am. Just now and again I get weepy and hormonal. I'm guessing it's all part and parcel though. I never knew I wanted to be a mum, now it's all I can think of. I want it so much it hurts. Waiting is no fun for me as I am the most impatient person in the world. It's a good job I'm not loaded I tell you, cause if I was I would have went out and bought everything at the weekend and there would be nothing to do for the next 4 months! I thrive on being organised! if I had my hospital bag organised it would likely be packed! Already! Lol!!

I'm having a section, mainly due to my own choice. I have CFS and both me and my team feel it is probably the best option for us both. I was worried about not having the physical strength to cope with the labour and then something going wrong during. I also have the worst pain threshold in the world. I've had to do a lot of research and must admit I have had the best support from my oh, family and midwife/consultant. They gave me all the information and let me decide what it was I wanted. I just know this is the safest option to get my little girl out. I also realise that this attracts a massive amount of controversy however, every lady has the right to chose which birth they want. I really believe that with the right support and facts it can be managed and still be an enjoyable experience. I have no fears about the surgery and completely trust the care givers. I work in the same hospital and couldn't imagine having a better place to give birth. So that's my story. Down on my notes as maternal choice.

I only have 17 weeks to go until our girl arrives. Assuming she doesn't want to come earlier than 38+5!!! Though I will still have ELUCS.

Wish I could bottle this sunshine.....there are some miserable sods out there this weather! Haha!

I guess from many people there are some opinions that should be kept to themselves about what kind of birth you have. I had an emergency cs with ds and can honestly say elective sounds good to me and I go to see the consultant soon so see what she says. Kinda hoping she says no natural delivery for me! I like you like to be organised and when there are as many of us as there are (me, hubby, ds and 3 step children for me from hubby 1st marriage) organisation is the key! I could have my cleaning and shopping done in preparation. Ha ha. I know some people with think I'm a silly cow for saying it but when I was as poorly as I was with previous labour, birth and post natal I don't care. Each to their own is my moto and even if it takes ages to recover then so be it, more cuddle time if you ask me whilst you're sat recovering.

Good for you Gayle and your positive attitude really cheered up my afternoon today.

Well yeah, thats it exactly. I know my own body and know that the labour would be too much for me. Each to their own indeed. I actually dont give a toss about what people will say - they are not me and I am not them. hats off to someone else who can do it, I just have a strong suspicion that its not possible. Elective is under calm, controled and more peaceful conditions. I know in advance when I shall have her and I can be organised and ready. I realise its the same operation no matter the circumstances but my consultant has told me the risks are significantly reduced when not in an emergancy situation. As much as I cannot wait to be a mummy, I do not see the birth as this magical self achievement moment. Its a means to an end, baby girl has to come out and and as soon as its done thats when the magic starts for me and my OH and our familes.

And we cannot actually wait!!!

Sunshine mood continues today but really really wish I wasn't at work with this sore head. Its bugging me now!! xxxx

 

[Mrs Wibbily]

Is it a persistent headache you have? I have one all the time!x

 

[Gayle30]

Ive had it since Sunday. Staring at the screen on my PC doesnt help. I really should get my eyes retested. They are due to be done in October. Tried all the usual cures - drinking loads of water, sleeping and paracetomol but its not shifting. I suffer from migranes so I am justhoping I am not on the build up to a biggy. I have no time this week! Looking forward toa night away with Friends on Saturday whilst OH has his annual night out with the boys!!! Hes not a drinker which I am so thankful for - I listen to my colleagues moaning about their men who have spent all weeken in the pub and all they do for the next few days is argue. We never fall out about things like this!!! Pre pregnancy I was the one who would go out once a month on a binge. Not had a drink since New year - think I may as well just give it up for good now! xxx
