Any body heard from her? has she had Erin???    ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com"> Replies: Posted By: Two Blondinis Date Posted: 10 July 2006 at 10:36am I had a "text chat" with her last night - nothing then. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> Posted By: emeldee Date Posted: 10 July 2006 at 10:36am She's still pregnant....and baking up a storm. ------------- Posted By: jax Date Posted: 10 July 2006 at 10:42am I checked in to the Due in July thread, I think. Just not having a very flash morning, that's all - slept VERY badly last night and only got through making some chocolate chip rice bubble squares before deciding to pack it in and head back to bed. So much stuff to do today and I can't be arsed, but at the same time, the longer it gets left undone... the more irritated I get ! Can't win it seems. Midwife and physio appointments tomorrow, something to look forward to I guess? Anyways, nite nite for now... ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: Roksana Date Posted: 10 July 2006 at 11:03am Oh...and I got sooo excited!!! Never mind...rest up Jax....not long to go now!! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com"> Posted By: jax Date Posted: 10 July 2006 at 1:54pm Okay well I'm back up and at it for now, might just get one more batch of cookies done today though and then take a break. We are almost out of baking supplies anyway ! Off to get some McDonalds now, yum yum. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: Kelpa Date Posted: 10 July 2006 at 3:20pm Boy oh Boy!! YOu should sit down and rest!!! Or are you well and truly stocking the pantry for the next few weeks in anticipation. I only hope I have half as much OOOMPH as you when I am 40 weeks...if I make it there! ------------- Posted By: jax Date Posted: 10 July 2006 at 3:39pm LOL Yesterday was a lot busier than today, was feeling a bit sh*tty today so had a nice long nap, and then we went out for a bit. Might head back into the kitchen and do those cookies soon though, easy recipe so shouldn't take long. To be honest, I get REALLY bored 'resting', unless I am asleep - which has it's own special difficulties as you can understand. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: Kelpa Date Posted: 10 July 2006 at 4:12pm Yes ...this little girl needs to start coming out before her mother has enough food to open a shop!!! ------------- Posted By: james Date Posted: 10 July 2006 at 4:19pm come on little erin u can do ittt!!!!!!!!!! hope its not to much longer jax ------------- <a href="http://lilypie.com"><img src="http://b4.lilypie.com/nLJ5p13.png" alt="Lilypie 4th Birthday Ticker" border="0" /></a> Posted By: jax Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 8:14am Still here, ho hum. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: Roksana Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 9:12am not even niggles jax???......Erin is way too comfy inside mummy!! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com"> Posted By: jax Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 10:53am Well, I'm not sure I *can* call them niggles really, I think the more I wonder and analyse the little things the more I will drive myself crazy. That said, the appointment with my physio was good, and now all I have to do is pass the time until my appointment with my midwife ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: Roksana Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 2:32pm Well Good luck with that...hope little Erin decides to come and join us soon!! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com"> Posted By: jax Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 3:58pm Well, I hope she does too! In a nutshell, my midwife is on leave from Friday. Her backup midwife cannot deliver at Birthcare. Should I go into labour naturally after Friday, that means labour and delivery at North Shore hospital and transferring to Birthcare. Should I not go into labour naturally over the weekend, I will have to go in for a quick check up at the hospital anyway, and we are likely to book an induction for next Wednesday, and the only 'up' side to this being that my midwife should be back by then. She has said we would try and just break my waters first, but would otherwise need the drip. However, the syntocinon = no water birth, and I wouldn't even be able to get into the pool ! I could still transfer to Birthcare though, and it would mean sharing a room, we can't afford to pay especially for a private one. I had a stretch and sweep at my appointment with my midwife today, and have my acupuncture visit tomorrow. The acupuncturist said we would be likely to have two treatments, the first being more of a preparation for labour, and then a follow up two days later with an actual 'induction' treatment. However, I am going to ask her if we can go the induction route tomorrow in any case, as it can take up to 48 hours to kick in, if at all. So, in a nutshell, Jax = not happy. When I picked Roland up from work and told him all of this he packed a sh*tty, so I packed a sad right back at him, and we drove home in utter silence - not fun. Fixed that up by cleaning the kitchen until it was spotless and vacuuming the whole house, and then having a good blub and cuddle (and a cup of raspberry leaf tea, just for the hell of it). I want this baby OUT ! Edited to add: And what doesn't help is that on top of it all, I'm annoyed with myself for getting upset over this in the first place - Erin's wellbeing comes first, no matter what ! I can't control how / when I go into labour, not realistically, and I have always maintained I will just accept whatever happens. I think, no... I know I can still come to grips with this, I guess I am only human and struggle to deal with change like everyone else. Things will be fine. *breathes out* ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: stevie_88 Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 4:04pm Come on Erin! Hope everything happens soon Jax. Big hugs until then. And of course, hope everything works out fine in the end. Come on Baby Bird!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> Posted By: Two Blondinis Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 4:43pm awwww poor you! So much stress in just one day!!!! You know where I am if you need to chat (rant) ------------- http://lilypie.com"> Posted By: lizzle Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 7:38pm I got so annoyed when my kids were late Jax! And I was fully aware of the "blah blah come when they are ready" chat, but it doiesn't help does it! It is bloody frustrating and I think anyone who has been overdue (and a few who weren't as well) can understand fully what you are going through. Posted By: james Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 7:45pm ohh jax its ok hunny i no how u feel i used to yell at my tummy "mummy wants to see you -i wanna see what you look like and oh hurry up and come out" and i went 10 days over lots of hurry up bubs dust coming your way hun ------------- <a href="http://lilypie.com"><img src="http://b4.lilypie.com/nLJ5p13.png" alt="Lilypie 4th Birthday Ticker" border="0" /></a> Posted By: jax Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 7:52pm Disclaimer: I'm not actually angry at any one person or place or whatever, it's the goddamn hormones !! It's really really not the being late that bothers me the most, that comes down to natural impatience and having always been the easily bored type. I just don't want to end up in the HOSPITAL ! Yuck yuck yuck yuck and YUCK. I guess it's just another one of life's challenges to get me to work on my acceptance and flexibility. I'm sure things WILL be fine *sigh* Did I mention I'm naturally stubborn as well ? As much as some days I just want to crawl into a hole and forget about it all, I really do appreciate all the support I get here. Honest ! ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: james Date Posted: 11 July 2006 at 8:46pm its ok jax you are talking to the most inpationate person ever just hang in there it wont be long ------------- <a href="http://lilypie.com"><img src="http://b4.lilypie.com/nLJ5p13.png" alt="Lilypie 4th Birthday Ticker" border="0" /></a> Posted By: jax Date Posted: 12 July 2006 at 8:13am Hmmm... the forum tried to tell me I'm not allowed to double post ?? Strange. ANYWAY... WOOHOO !! My waters broke this morning !! Made it to the loo JUST in time LOL So as to avoid a big puddle in bed. You may or may not believe how excited I am now Will try and keep updating as best I can, no contractions yet that I've really noticed, but LOTS of pressure in my pelvic area, and my abdomen is quite tender. Think I gave poor Roland a bit of a fright, but he's quite happy now too, and is going to work from home today ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: stevie_88 Date Posted: 12 July 2006 at 8:36am Woohoo Jax!!

Think I'm having the odd contraction but nothing consistent, have been writing things down, and Roland has settled in to "work" from home LOL Hot chippies on the menu for lunch, and I will continue to keep updating as much as possible for you all Oooh... literally JUST got a txt message from my midwife, who it seems will be coming over shortly, yay ! Will let you know what she says. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: Roksana Date Posted: 12 July 2006 at 12:44pm Cant wait for an update ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com"> Posted By: Sarah Beth Date Posted: 12 July 2006 at 12:50pm I am curious do you think you could include in your birth plan that you want a laptop with internet access to keep all the ob laides informed! ------------- "> Posted By: Roksana Date Posted: 12 July 2006 at 12:54pm He he he ha ha...I promise Sarah, for my next baby, I will try!! He he ha ha ha ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com"> Posted By: jax Date Posted: 12 July 2006 at 1:06pm LOL I had thought about that ! I'm such a geek Anyway, midwife has said things are looking good. However, if we're not in established labour by around 7-8pm ish tonight, we will probably need to go in to the hospital instead of Birthcare, and have antibiotics administered. Then, it's also possible labour will need to be given a 'hurry up', but we'll see. Still gunning for Birthcare at this stage Am just having lunch, lots of fluids, and planning a nap after this. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: aimeejoy Date Posted: 12 July 2006 at 1:18pm Good idea. As exciting as it is, rest up cos it could be a LONG night! And enjoy this last little bit of time with Roland. Good luck chicky, hope things start moving along naturally soon... ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 Posted By: mrs frantic Date Posted: 12 July 2006 at 1:27pm OMG it must so soooooo exciting knowing you wil have your baby so soon!!!

You're right about me needing all the rest I can get at this rate. Will still try and keep updating but no promises about consistency ok ? ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater Love many, trust few, harm none. ~Anon~ Posted By: 11111 Date Posted: 12 July 2006 at 1:33pm thats so cool hoope the rest of the day goes well.
