lizzie287 - Wednesday, 17 September Oh yeah very happy. A little fussy in the afternoons but I discovered a new sling which I LOVE. I don't think I'd make it without it. With this thing I can cook, clean (sort of ... it's challenging to bend over with her on me but that's ok), and walks are much more enjoyable actually - carrying that extra weight is helping me LOSE the weight lol. That sucks that you only get 8 weeks, I don't know how you guys do it in the US. Here we get a year, but I lost 2 months of mine because of my hips... They didn't care that I had a dr's note, they didnt' grant me med leave because it was so close to when I was permitted to be off for mat leave ... such a crock, but I'll take what I can get. I just have no clue what I'm going to do when I have to go back... the other job I have is casual and I don't know what kind of hours I'd get there. Plus, the whole daycare thing. I'm aching to be a stay at home mom, but we'll see what happens. When are you done working?
lizzie287 - Wednesday, 17 September Not much. Huge fight with my boss which lead to me telling her to take her job and shove it. Luckily I have mat leave until May so theres no rush to find a new job. Other than that just enjoying Ava's little smiles! She actually giggled on Friday! She hasn't really done it since though.
I know how you feel with the pains ... just think of it as the light at the end of the tunnel. things are starting to happen :)
lizzie287 - Tuesday, 16 September Yeah for sure. Are they coming pretty frequently? I know I had false labour for the last month and a half of my pregnancy. That sucked. It felt like constant period cramps and nothing made it feel better. I would lay on my couch and cry all day. Sometimes having a shower and rocking my hips side to side would help take the edge off the pain, maybe try that?
lizzie287 - Monday, 15 September Honestly, I don't know because I had an epidural before my REAL contractions started. But that sounds real to me hun, I'd time them!
mommytobe007 - Saturday, 13 September I know eah! I cant believe its soo close to time, I'm actually suprised he hasn't come out yet. I had really bad contractions last nite and i thought that was it haha guess not..I broke out on a really bad rash on my tummy where my stretch marks are. . Its sooo rediculously itchy!!! . I bought some extra, triple action gold bond lotion and it does the trick, well it at least takes the itchiness away for a lil while. Its werid though cause it happens to women majority of the time who are prego with boys... Im just hoping it doesnt get any worse cause its horrible!!! I hope he is out soon so i dont have anymore problems lol. Just my luck though, everything like that has to happen to me
