July due dates
How are all the almost-almost-theres? Knee-deep in childbirth classes? Waking up a zillion times at night, have to pee more often? Take some video of those alien-baby-earthquake kicks and tumbles, if you can catch them. Any belly hiccups? Those are the best. How's life generally treating you these days? Updates, vents, rants, complaints, mushy sentimental gushings, we love it all. |

"Mary S." wrote in message ... How are all the almost-almost-theres? Knee-deep in childbirth classes? Hi my name is renae I am due on july 4th. I am from australia and i have been lurking in this newsgroup for a while now. I have finished my childbirth classes, here they like you to be finished about a month before your due date. I found the classes to be informative, my husband really got into them too. Waking up a zillion times at night, have to pee more often? YES. It takes me ages to get comfy, then just as I do i have to go to the toilet so I am real careful gettin out of bed not to loose the comfy spot. I get backin it takes ages to get comfy AGAIN then I have to pee AGAIN... Take some video of those alien-baby-earthquake kicks and tumbles, if you can catch them. yes those kicks/tumbles are freaky!!! Any belly hiccups? Those are the best. Belly hiccups! they seem to happen all the time and for ages I was beginning to wonder if it was normal to happen so much.. Life is pretty much treating me well I really cant complain, I have put on 5 kilos all up. I think i am carrying towards my back cause my belly is not that big, I am really just now feeling a little uncomfortable. I start my weekly appointments at the hospital this week, they will do the normal checks. I dont think I will have anymore scans now they say everything is normal. Here we only have one scan and thats at 18 weeks. Now we just have to decide on a name! will keep you posted! renae |

Updates, vents, rants, complaints, mushy sentimental gushings, we love it all. Can't complain too much! I do wish the nesting instinct would kick in, I've got a bunch of stuff I'd like to get done in the next 7 weeks or so. We took a refresher birth course (based on Birthing from Within) which was very good, given by our doula. Since I'm trying for a VBAC, it was good to work through some of the issues I have left from DD's birth. Two of the couples in that class gave birth before our last class, two girls! We are having lots of movement, which is great. No hiccups yet, which surprises me, since DD had tons of them. I can't sleep worth a darn, which just exacerbates the tiredness. I think DD is starting to get the idea that a baby is coming. When I drop her off at daycare, the other kids are starting to ask "Do you have a baby in there?" and "Can I see it", um...no... All in all, doing well. Starting to get excited. Mary |

How are all the almost-almost-theres?
Getting freaked out that we're almost there! Lol. I'm actually doing great cos I'm childfree for a week! The Dr did not recommend I go to MI (from NC) for Dylan's grandfather's 85th birthday party so Dylan took all 3 kids BY HIMSELF last Wednesday!! We still have a car snafu so I've rented one for Mon, Tues, Wed to get out and about - go to the "big mall" a town away, get my hair done, a pedicure, etc...Wheee! Knee-deep in childbirth classes? N/A for me. Waking up a zillion times at night, have to pee more often? Oh yeah. Take some video of those alien-baby-earthquake kicks and tumbles, if you can catch them. Ugh, I've got a million ultrasound photos from my specialist visits. I hope in 20 yrs I'll still know what I'm looking at - lol. Any belly hiccups? Those are the best. Uh, those are getting annoying. How's life generally treating you these days? Updates, vents, rants, complaints, mushy sentimental gushings, we love it all. Heartburn is here, had forgotten how that was. My feet and legs don't feel too great. They feel kind of tender I guess. Also my skin is freaking out - eczema in my elbow is back, and my scalp (stress-induced), a rash on one calf, hands are puffy, wedding ring is off. One plus - haven't gained too much this time - about 26 lbs at my last appointment (I had 10 extra on me to begin with) - I can live with that. I had a baby shower a couple of weeks ago, so all that stuff is organized. Now I really feel like I'm just waiting. We do have a month of summer camp for Patrick, a week of cheerleading camp (shoot me now!) for Charlotte, Father's Day, Charlotte's 6th birthday, Dylan's 30th, and July 4th before then though. Busy, busy. Sophie #4 due July 7, 2004 |

I think
DD is starting to get the idea that a baby is coming. When I drop her off at daycare, the other kids are starting to ask "Do you have a baby in there?" and "Can I see it", um...no... All in all, doing well. Starting to get excited. Mary Lewis' daycare ladies think he gets the idea something big is happening. He's only 2.5 so I don't know. But he goes to daycare in the same room as Patrick and had been loving it. The last couple of times he's gone he's cried when I drop him off and they tell me all throughout his time there he cries off and on, is very clingy, which is not Lewis at all. I guess they pick up on things more than we think. |

Plus she wants me to carry her all the time (which is quite new, she usually wants to walk by herself all the time). Her daycare teachers have told us to expect her to regress some. Mary |

Her daycare teachers have told us to expect her to regress some. Mary This is different for me cos this is my biggest age gap. C was only 16 months old when I had P, and P was only 25 months old when I had L. So I don't think they noticed, changed, or cared - lol. I carry L all the time anyway (he can't be 25 lbs), to me it's easier than having to chase him when he runs off, as he *always* does anyway - lol. The other kids never cared if I held a baby, L will try to push it off my lap, stuff like that. We already don't think he'll be too thrilled to not be the baby anymore. |

Mainly she wanted us to recognize that she was still our baby, and that Leopold wasn't the only baby. This happens on and off even now -- 5 months later. Most of the time though, she is proud to be a big girl and a big sister. She had interest in the potty before Leopold was born but she only wanted to use her nappy after. She asked for Pull-ups last night. She told me that she wanted to use the potty instead of nappies. So this too shall pass... -- Daye Momma to Jayan and Leopold See Jayan and Leo: http://www.aloofhosting.com/jayleo/ Updated 28 Feb 2004 |

... How are all the almost-almost-theres? Knee-deep in childbirth classes? We just finished ours about 10 days ago and took the hospital tour, asked questions, got more ideas to put in the birth plan. All in all it was a good class. Waking up a zillion times at night, have to pee more often? Oh yeah...but I can't help drinking all that water. I think it averages out to about 5 gallons/week. I drink several liters per day. Take some video of those alien-baby-earthquake kicks and tumbles, if you can catch them. Any belly hiccups? My belly moving just cracks me up. I'm waiting for an alien to pop out. No hiccups though. How's life generally treating you these days? Updates, vents, rants, complaints, mushy sentimental gushings, we love it all. We went to the hospital the other night as I was in so much pain while breathing from what felt like a pulled muscle in my ribs. Basically, it was an inflammation of the soft tissue around my sternum and ribs. Tylenol, rest, and some icing was recommended. Its been much better since then. I had no idea what was going on. I have been very active for the past two weeks, and I think that exacerbated the issue. Overall, I am looking forward to this little being in my belly who is making me laugh. EDD: July 4th. |

DS was 2.75 when dd was born, and he definitely understood what was going on. The cat at daycare had just had kittens, so I think that helped. But, he's definitely having adjustment issues... I carry L all the time anyway (he can't be 25 lbs), to me it's easier than having to chase him when he runs off, as he *always* does anyway - lol. Yesterday, I went to the Botanic Gardens with both of them, with the sling and the single stroller. Mostly, ds walked, and dd was in the sling or stroller. But near the end, he decided he wanted to go home, but didn't want to walk or ride in the stroller. Finally, he asked me to carry him. So, I took dd out of the sling, put her in the stroller, and carried 40 lb ds to the parking lot! Irene |
