23 WEEKS PREGNANT
This week I am feeling really tired, and have gotten even bigger. People keep saying "Are you sure there is only one in there?". I am really feeling it at work and I really don't think i'll make it to 36 weeks to finish up and start maternity leave. We'll see anyway. All of a sudden I am needing to go to the toilet alot, and once or twice at night. I am also getting heartburn!!! I love being pregnant but I'm really feeling it early this time. Lots of kicks too, I love the feeling of my baby moving. I have the name Declan Ryan for a boy in mind and Bianca Gloria for girl, but that could change again soon...
32 WEEKS PREGNANT
Hi everyone, I haven't updated my page for a LONG time, so very sorry about that. I can't believe I have only 8 weeks left omg! I finish work Friday, 21st December, looking forward to that. I have been struggling alot with this pregnancy, I've been seeing a Osteopath for my back and it hasn't helped much. The doctor said the only thing that will fix it is having this baby. The heat has hit me bad, and I am tired constantly. But I'm still very happy within myself and I am looking very forward to meeting my baby, boy or girl. Names have changed AGAIN, we have Nicolas or Charlie for a boy and Kaylee or Stephanie for a girl. I don't mind George too... Anyway, looking forward to xmas, I have all my shopping done. I hope everyone is well xxxx
34 WEEKS PREGNANT
Hi again, I hope everyone had a great xmas and a happy new year. I'm so over it now and happy its over. It was all fun but extremley tiring. Brayden had me up xmas morning @ 6am, which was fine, but by 10am I was ready for bed!!! We didn't do anything for new years eve, stayed home with the kids and partied lol... I had a doctors appointment yesterday and the doctor still thinks that the baby hasn't turned, apparently it feels too soft for a head down below! So I am having an ultrasound Friday to see what position he/she is in. It is still giving me lots of hard kicks, and moves lots during the day, and sleeps all night (hope it stays that way). I must have ate too much over xmas coz I've now altogether put on 9.6 kilos omg. Anyways, will keep you all updated. Have a great 2008 xxx
36 WEEKS PREGNANT
Hi again, the baby is officially head down. I thought he/she was but the doctor wasn't sure. It is a big baby too, it weighed 6lb 14oz and was measuring 1-2 weeks bigger than what I am. It's head was measuring @ 38 weeks. A little scary for me!!! I almost have everything ready, just have to put the cradle up and get the pram off layby and where all prepared. I haven't been venturing outdoors much latley with the heat, staying inside under the air cooler works for me. We have pretty much decided finally on a boys name "Archie Randall" and the girls is a toss up between "Bethany Joy" or "Bridee Michelle". Take it easy ladies xxx
39 WEEKS PREGNANT
Hi everyone, everything is going well. I just can't wait for my baby to be born, i'm getting so anxious its driving me crazy!!! Last Wednesday I had a doctors appointment and my blood pressure was 145/95 so she sent me straight to the maternity hospital to see if bubs was alright. It was really weird coz I felt fine and my blood pressure has been great so far. Anyway, I got there and bp had gone back down and my bubby was fine thank god. My next doctors appointment is on Monday morning, and then on Thursday I see my obstertrician. Hopefully he will book me in to be induced on the Monday 11th Feb which will make me 5 days over. I mean I could go anytime now but Brayden was 5 days late induced and Locky was 6 days late on his own, and I really don't want to go too far over. I have a feeling i'll go early, but I had that feeling with Locky too. Throughout this pregnancy I've been feeling that its a girl, but as I get closer I think its a boy now. I really don't care coz I've only ever imagined myself with boys, but coz its my last a girl would be nice too. If its a boy its defiantly Archie Ryan now, but girl we are still deciding and will wait to decide if the time comes. I'm so excited, I can't wait to hold my baby. Brayden started school yesterday, he loved it. I didn't cry, but it was very emotional knowing that my little boy is growing up so quickly... Anyway ladies, next time i'm on i'll have the news for you. Good Luck to everyone else due in the next few days xxx
40 WEEKS AND 6 DAYS PREGNANT
I can't believe i'm still pregnant, but yes its true I am. I have no problems so I've only been booked in for Monday 18th Feb to be induced (hopefully shouldn't have to worry about that). That will make me 12 days over!!! I am exausted and I haven't really slowed down at all, every day that passes I use to my advantage and do housework that needs doing eg. cleaning out cupboards, going through kids toys, cleaning walls etc. I have everything ready for bubs, so its basically just a waiting game now... I have put on 13 kilos with this pregnancy, my first I put on 15 kilos and then my second it was 14 kilos, so I've done well I reckon! We haven't decided on a girls name, we have a few in mind, Mikayla being the newest one, but Archie is still the boys name. Anyway, once again I'll say next time i'm on i'll have the good news for you all. Take care and good luck xxx
