***September 2016 Mummies - the last lap***

[MrsB2105]

Almost ready then x

 

[naomi88]

How did the scan go Caroline? Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

It went well his growth has dropped a bit more but everything else is fine, they are both approx 5lbs now and we have been booked for the 31st August but she is trying to bring it forward if she can as that takes me to just over 38 weeks x

Glad all is well with the boys, at least you have a date to work towards now xx

 

[MrsB2105]

I know and I know it might change but it will be less time waiting, your date is the 29th isn't it? X

 

[mummy2b1985]

Wow so exciting that you guys have dates already. I'm seeing the consultant next Tuesday I'll be 36 weeks so hoping they will book me in for early September. My baby hospital bag is packed and mine is pretty much ready just needs putting into a bag. I really struggled in the hot weather but now it's cooled down again I'm feeling much better now.

Are you getting induced or c section?

 

[naomi88]

Ah were you hoping it was going to be sooner? Although like Karen says at least it's something to count down to now. It will be here before you know it.
Glad all was ok.

I was the same with the heat mummy2b - glad it's cooled now as I kept passing out! Xxx

I struggled in the heat too. My bags are packed just incase I needed them today x

 

[MrsB2105]

Aww your having a bank holiday baby Karen.

Naomi I wouldn't of said no if they wanted them out this week lol, the consultant wants 37 weeks as they will be full term, unfortunately the only date they had in the diary was the 31st which puts me at 38 +1, so she has told the person who coordinates the list that she wants it sooner if possible and has asked them to juggle things around, I suppose it won't be easy with the amount of people required to be in theatre with us lol. Either way at least I have an idea what's going on and at latest that will be the day . Think they will be pretty identical in weight though now twin 2 (Robert) isn't growing as fast. Cannot believe I have 10lbs of baby inside me though.

Bought Liam his gift too today ... And found a really cute outfit in boots that I think Chris is going to buy for the babies for coming home outfits

How's everyone else's day going? X

 

[naomi88]

Aw hopefully they will be able to bring it forward a bit! Did you get Liam the train in the end?

My day has been busy and stressful in work. Managed to leave my GD testing kit there too so got half the way home and had to turn back to go and get it. Very frustrating as it's a 45 minute journey (if traffic isn't too bad) at the best of times!

Home now though thankfully xxx

 

[scn]

Oh Naomi that's a bummer!

The 29th isn't a bank holiday in Scotland, just a normal day for us

 

[MrsB2105]

We did yes, and a duplo tractor I would be kicking myself if I had forgotten something at work, I work a similar distance if not longer away traffic depending.

It will be here before you know it Karen and you will be holding your little boy in your arms x

 

[mummy2b1985]

Are you getting induced or c section?[/QUOTE]

I'm having a section because I had an emergency section with my little boy and don't want the same again. I was hoping I could choose the date but maybe I just get what I'm given!!

 

[MrsB2105]

I got what I was given but there weren't any dates to choose from x

 

[Lander]

I think baby's bag is actually packed... Mine, almost. Couple more bits I want but can sort those tomorrow.

This one's going home outfit is the first thing we bought once we knew he was a boy, a very cute 'Best little Brother' dark blue gro from Next that we used to tell DsS that he was going to have a little brother. Along with a handknitted blanket from the wife of one of my guys from work. Been a bit bittersweet, they lost their 29yr old son in a car accident almost three years ago and his Birthday was 7th September, baby's due date.

Cot bed and dresser will arrive tomorrow as well so the clothes waiting in archive boxes can get put away! lol

 

[MrsB2105]

Aww that's very sweet of your friends wife
Exciting about the cot too

I'm having a troublesome evening, in quite a lot of pain, one baby is very very active, feels like he is trying to turn even though I've been told he won't so I'm getting incredibly sharp pains below and in my groin, I'm in bed doing a mixture of cursing and crying, my lower back is now killing me, with some pains across the front but they don't feel like tightenings ... Getting the feeling a foot is going to exit my body lol, and it hurts to reach across my body x

 

[MrsB2105]

Ah it's finally stopped after 3 hours, now I just have sore sides. Chris thinks I have overdone it as we went to the shopping centre to get Liam's stuff and I had to sit a few times ... Now he is blaming himself x

 

[naomi88]

Eesh Caroline that doesn't sound like too much fun. Glad it's eased a bit now. Perhaps they will make an appearance before the 31st of their own accord!!

Having a bit of a rubbish day all in all. Just had a phone call from MIL to tell us she's been diagnosed with breast cancer simons dad died of cancer a few years ago so I think he is automatically thinking of worst case scenario. She lives in Scarborough so too far away for us to just pop over to see her as it's like a 6 hour journey.
