GOLD!!!!

omg omg omg *fans hand in front of face*, I want to thank my mum, my aunty and God!

Ok, so I have never won gold before, I am a little excited.

So much seems to be happening with everyone, along with just the run of the day stuff. The clock is ticking on our next arrivals! Ali and P!NK, hope you are both doing well and are holding your new arrivals soon... only 2 more days (in theory)!!

I have my scan tomorrow, so hopefully we find out what gender we are having. I am so excited, wont be able to sleep tonight. I am not leaving until they can tell me!!! And if they can't I guess I will have to pay for a 3d one or something (though not sure I can convince him to spend the money).

Hope you are all well...

Rumply, lol, congrats on your gold!!! Can't wait to hear about your scan- what time is it??

Boobie prize for me!

I think I may deserve it today too - I just started trying to read the new thread only to somehow end up reading thread #8... that wouldn't have been so bad except it took me about two pages to realise something was very wrong - Ali's DH had just caved on the name Violet, Pink had outed herself and Red in Oz had just got back from the UK. Got to love pregnancy brain!

Anyway, back to the present...

A huge congrats to P!nk!!!!! I love the name and can't wait to hear more about your beautiful little girl!

Elle - Glad you're feeling better, mastitis is awful! It does get easier to have two at the shops, until then just keep smiling

3cubs - It must be frustrating having to wait for your scan, but it sounds like the right decision. I'm sure your little one will be just perfect.

Rumply - Good luck at the scan tomorrow, what are you thinking - boy or girl?

Ali - Your up next! I'll be ing for baby news! Glad to hear your feeling better.

Susie - I hear you on the air-con, we installed ours when I found out I was pregnant with my first summer baby This one is actually due in winter though, so I'm a little worried about those middle of the night breastfeeds!

AFM, I saw the OBGYN yesterday and everything is going well. I'm feeling lots of movements now, but still small enough to be reasonable comfortable. It's just as well as we have been insanely busy renovating and re-arranging our house in order to fit in our third child. I shouldn't be surprised though, I have photos of me painting Jordi's room at around 7 months pregnant, so I should have expected to be just as busy this time around

[SusieBlue]

Oh my goodness! So much action today!!

Congratulations P!NK! Yay for a gorgeous little girl Sounds like she was in a hurry too! Its amazing how they can chill out in there for so long and then go 'ok, time to leave now!' Hope you're having lovely cuddles now.

Ali - you are next!!! Woot!!!! How is that prelabour going????

Rumply - Congrats on your gold Can't wait to hear about your gender scan tomorrow!!!

[flyingkiwi]

Congratulations P!NK!!! Beautiful name and looking forward to the pics!

alibaba~81 thanks for reposting the list. I was 3 days early with Max, so if I'm early again and you're that late again I suppose I could go before you. Hope you're over the gastro.

Rumply, good luck with the scan, looking forward to hearing what you're having

Genie, lol on reading the old thread and not twigging. Hope you can get everything organised in plenty of time to fit the baby!

Hi everyone else!

AFM, all going well, just very tired and achy. Baby is 3/5 engaged, I thought it had dropped. It means my stomach is not as squashed but my hips and pelvis are even more sore. I'm ready, even though I'd like baby to wait until after I've taken Max to the playschool concert on Tuesday. So tired today, and a bit emotional, I figure I'm getting so little sleep that the baby may as well be on the outside. Maternity leave isn't nearly as relaxing second time round!

Did get a couple of things done today though, have a lasagne made and ready to freeze, finished my online application for paid parental leave (what a hoopla!) and a toy Hoot arrived that we only ordered a couple of days ago and Max loves it.

CONGRATULATIONS P!NK on the arrival of Scarlett Elizabeth! What a beautiful name So far we're setting the trend for quick labours and girls with Elizabeth as the middle name.

Good luck with your scan Rumply, will check back later to find out if you're having a blue or pink baby!

Thinking of you Ali and flyingkiwi and can't wait for news

[michie0moo]

Hooray P!NK. Congrats on the arrival of Scarlett Elizabeth.

Ali - hope you are over the gastro. That has to be bloody awful when pregnant.

FlyingKiwi - sounds like you are just about ready to go. I get sore hips in pregnancy too (they are already sore ) so you have my sympathy.

Hi to everyone else.

Nothing new with me. Still very tired - ripped off on the 2nd trimester energy boost but at least I'm not sick anymore.
DD has been horror going to bed lately and I think I'm going to have to deal with this, although some of the problem might be a couple of late-ish long naps. If she doesn't nap as long during the day (or naps earlier) then she pretty much feeds to sleep, not a perfect solution either as what will she do if I'm not there? I have No cry sleep solution and will have another look at that, but might need the toddler version. I think we need to get to a point where she can be in bed and then go to sleep alone (even if not right away). At the moment, she might be ok for a bit by herself, but needs me there to actually go to sleep. Last night she just ended up with several top up feeds to try and "knock her out". Other times, it just takes me sitting there and patting on and off. She starts off going to bed fine (happily gets into her sleeping bag, turn on music, settles in for breastfeed, gets taken off before she is asleep, popped into bed, thumb in mouth, initially rolls over like she is going to sleep, but then just won't go to bloody sleep - grrrr). It drives me crazy! She still wakes up once during the night too but I have less of an issue with that right now as she resettles fine then (well, with breastmilk but it doesn't take very long). I will deal with that part after, or maybe both together once I get a plan. She ends up standing up crying out for me at the moment really don't have much idea where to start with this at the moment. I do know that she can't be this dependent on me for all her sleep when we have 2 so I feel like I need to sort it out sooner rather than later so we aren't all panicking about it before bubba2 arrives.

A big Welcome to Scarlett Elizabeth.

Congratulations P!nk on the speedy delievery and keep on enjoying your baby girl!
