My on and off pain l had all day Sunday and half a day Monday went away......pretty sad but hey thats sometimes how it goes. l ended up going for a walk but nothing more happened so l have given up ..... lm going to sit back and relax and just wait. Hopefully he will arrive before school returns next week or my oldest son will be home until l go into labor as l need someone here for Mark. Hubby has given up he was hoping our new son would have arrived before tomorrow - l think he is just being stubborn like his older brother Mark, he didnt want to be born either. My dates where all right as l kept a record, just must need to bake alittle longer. Anyhow l have another appointment at the hospital tomorrow with the head Ob doc, l will let him know that my sides hurt bad like l have a forever stitch happening and hopfully he will have some ideas to make it less painfull on my skin that has now over streched. Bubs does little movements here and there now - there must be no room left.

Will keep you all update.........Hugs All

 Since yesterday morning l have had on and off pain in my front of the lower ab ...... l thought it would process but l was wrong . All day yesterday and half the night it has been the same......l was hoping overnight l would get the wake up pain and be off to the birthing suite - but no luck another stubbon son like my 4th.  l can feel it stirring again....think today l am going to spend sometime in bed as it hurts more when sitting......aint getting my hopes up that this might be the start of labor as l know my luick it will go away and in a weeks time reappear. lm off to try and get some rest before the boys wake up.......hopefully soon........my original due date was today but the dating scan said thursday.

On Thursday l had t return to the hospital to get the scan done again on the babys heartbeat and movement ....l was there from 3:30 until 5pm but it was worth it. They found nothing wrong with his heartbeat it beats between 140 -150 and thats good....the midwife that was doing it ask me if l could feel the tightings that where showing up on the scan every 5 - 8 minutes l said no l couldnt.

So far my weekend has been noring, hubby is working, the boys are doing there own thing....the older two went out and the younger two are watching cable tv. l have double check my hospital bag at least 3 times to make sure l dont forget anything andf surfed the net for awhile but thats about it. l would love to walk down to the plaza and baby shop but lm worried that l might go into labor if l walk down.

Hugs all and have a great week end

 Today is just going to drag on me and the family.....l have to go back to the hospital this afternoon to the pregnany day unit so they can repeat  a GTC again for the 3rd time. Yesterday l had my 39 week check up. Everything was running on time prefect for once...l saw the old Ob Doc and my belly measured 39.5cms it had grown heaps in a week. Then my blood pressure was done and it was slighty higher than usual ...finally changed so he requested l go down to the pregnancy day unit and the midwifes will listern to bubs heartbeat. He checked which way bubs was lying, his head was completely all the way down - he was very pleased bout that. The Ob Doc went and spoke to the Med Docs that was seeing me next to ask if they could chnage the injections l am on, it seems Clexane takes 12 hours to get out of your system and there is another that only takes 6 hours to get out of your system, but thye would not. l went and waited in the waiting room and was called in by the Med Doc, he suggusted l stay on the injections but dont take it if you feel you are going to go into labor - gosh thats stupid its not like babys can msn yu and say lm on my way. So l have deceided that from today l aint having it  no more. Afteer that l made an appointment for next wednesday to see the Ob Doc again at 1.30pm. Went down got more blood taken out then went to the pregnancy day unit where they started to scan me...but bubs was so active they where not getting a good reading, so they sent me upto the birthing unit where l was scanned for 1 1/2hours ......in that time the scan picked up contractions but l didnt feel them, after 6pm l was taken off and told to go to the desk thats where l heard a conversatin about my readings from the midwife to the doc that was on. There where spikes that they usually see if the cords around the babys neck - thats why l have to go back today. So hopefully everything will show up normal and thing will happen naturally very soon.

Hello…….Happy Easter all! We had a quite Easter at home and the kids got heaps of chocolate, as for me l didn’t, as l don’t like Chocolate at the moment…my little man does not like it that much. L thinks the boys have eaten themselves sick, but once it’s gone there’s no more.

Is now school holidays here in Melbourne and the boys have 2 weeks of being bored….not that bored l got cable put in last week so at least they will have something to watch. We took there gaming systems away as they got lazy on there chores and if you get more than 5 X’s you lose your gaming system….so l have a ps2, psp, DS and game cube. The PS3 is still out but the boys isn’t allowed to touch that without there father as its his system until he gets bored with it…..l don’t think he will ever give it to the boys the price of the games and DVD’s cost enough – even pre owned.

 L brought a portable cot from Oztion the other day……brand new. L was going to get it from EBay but they where selling them not as cheap. It’s a 6 in 1 kind l got it for $133 all up that’s with postage as well. L should get it this week.

Pregnancy is 39 weeks…sooooo close to the due date now. L have a Ob Doc check up at 2:45pm tomorrow and a Med Doc check up at 3pm tomorrow.  My 38 week appointment last Wednesday went well. Got a Ob Doc that l have seen before and liked…my belly was only 37cms in length has not grown anymore. The Ob Doc brought in the portable ultrasound so l saw my little boy a lot bigger than last time….he is head down still, face is facing my back so he is ready to say when its time We have finally got a name for him after many debates as a family. Just hope no one changes there mind about his name.

Well that’s all from me…keep you all posted on if l have him or not before my next blog….l will ask Libby to let you all know (aka LibbyLincoln).

My pregnancy is going great apart from the pressure in my pelvis....l saw the Ob Doc on 12th and yes l got another nice one.....she said bubs head is really down now thats why it hurts so much when l walk even sort distances....she said he is ready to come into the world anytime now. My belly is now 37cms and everything is still 100% prefect. l have to go back next Wedensday for another check up and get a blood test done for the Med Docs.....but it should not take long.

36 weeks WOW! Yesterday l had my Ob Doc appointment and you know when you are getting close to the due date when the staff at the hospital call you by name without looking at your file......plus it didnt help yesterday they lost my file and where unable to find it , so l had to tell the Ob Doc everything that has been going on with this pregnancy. l didnt wait that long , not like the last appointment, when l was called in l found another doc that l liked and he was so funny.....couldnt stop laughing cos they had lost my file. But he told me all is very well with bubs, he also told me that my heart rate though the whole pregnancy has not changed at all 100/60 (l carry my own pregnancy records for this pregnancy - my file at the hospital is all my pregnancy's, birth and other things through my life). He was abit worried about me still being on the injections, when he asked when the med staff where checking me again l said at 39 weeks , he told me they are leaving it to late and there the ones who are going to course a hard time for the midwifes or Obs that deliver this baby espically if l had the injection in my system when l go into labour. The Ob doc also told me the risk of having it in my system if l go into labour but if they had to induce me the that will be alot easier as they can stop the injections. Anyhow he put me onto 1 week appointments now ( he said l would not need they if l was not on the injections but someone better keep an eye on me and the baby for my health  - meaning my blood being so thin)....so the Ob docs are doing the Med Docs watching now as they are more worried if what going to happen if the injections are in my blood at the time. l thought that Med doc l saw last time was suppose to take me off the stuff...

My boys are doing well, apart from all the teacher strikes that are happening. Yesterday John and Andrew had a half day home in the morning and at school in the afternoon. Justin didnt get to stay home as they had pre booked a trip for the year 10's to go to the motor show in the city. Now today they have the morning at school and the afternoon off.....tomorrow is a full day again and its school photo day for the secondary and the primary school. Mark is bored with kinder , he says he has done everything there and wants to go to school.....l just hope it does not happen that he starts to want to stop going there....he told me he wants to learn to write, read and do what his brothers do.

 My other half is trying to be so nice to me now, the mood swings have set in and one minute l can be nice that next its like satan has entered me - pregnancy is doing werid stuff to me. l go have quite time now!

Hugs and kiss all, until next weeks blog take care
