Isabella was born 11th July at 5:55am, 5 hour labour, i had had false labours so i didnt ring the midwife til my contractions were 3 mins apart, lucky i was only 5 cm dilated at that time! she came over to mine and did an exam as i wasnt convinced i was in labour at all! so off we trot to the hospital, arrived at 5 and hadd her 55 mins later. Have to say it was my easiest labour, even at 9lb6oz (4260kg)

At my scan three weeks earlier they had estimated her weight at that already! boy am i so glad they were WAY off!

She feeds well, is quite content baby, doesnt cry much, and has a head full of hair!

Me, well, im loving it! Ok most of it, my boobs still hurt, and im tired, but other than that, life at this moment is perfect! I am breast feeding, and do enjoy it despite the first minutes of toe curling, but my boobs are so freaken big that BF does not look like it comes natural to me at all! im very self concious and wont feed in front of anyone cause i am aware of how utterly GUMBY i look when i feed her, all contorted and uncomfortable looking, holding my boob so i dont suffocate her lol.I feed her in a rugby ball typ hold, and if i do the common way people feed babies then i have to hold her head with one arm and hold my boob up with the other, which as you might imagine, isnt very practical,

anyway, im hoping once my boobs stop hurting and time helps me establish good way to feed that doesnt make me look like a 'retarded feeder"

anyhoo, must be off, xxx

argh, i so want to meet my girl! i know ill miss my belly when shes out, but i want her more... had contractions last night every ten for like 4 hours, then my daughter decded to get the runs at 2  in the morning and i jumped up and cleaned her up gave her a shower etc, and they stopped.. i was soo gutted. i kinda convinced my self having such a big bub, i MUST go early, but actually i have to try convince myself shee'll most likely be late... anyway... i do believe things are changing/ happening, but nothing yet that has me jumping for joy. aside from the other day, that got me so excited! My mate asked me last night if i was scared of labour, and i think that period has passed, i just want her out, but i have been scared. Im scared of something happening, to me or of course bub. But thats the doctors fault...

anyhoo, just a quick catch up :o)

ill start from the begining. Make a coffee :o)

On thursday night, about 1030pm, i started getting massive intense make me bawl pains, that were coming every 10 to 35 mins.  for about 3 hours. At 2am i said to hubby if i have one more im calling my midwife, of course, they stopped.

Friday was a quiet day at home, i was tired from being up so late the night before, so i watched movies in front of the fire with my girl, About 3 pm my tummy got really tense, with waves of intense bits about 30 seconds long, which were irregular, but often. I rang my midwife, who asked me to come in for a check. Definately not labour, which i was relieved about, i didnt think it was but then again i didnt think i was in labour when i was with my other two..

Blood in urine, had the highest mark on the chart thing, whichh was like 4+, so they kept me over night for observation. found sleep about 1130 and woke again at 2 and stayed awake. sent home sat morning, came home relaxed, had a small snooze.

They considered kidney stones, UTI (which was neg) and that was it. went for a scan this morning to check bubs growth, and kidneys, my kidneys are fine, no stones, not swollen, so im very curious as to what caused the blood! 

Anyhoo, bubs is fine, but already weighs 2.1 kilos! 4.6pounds! Im sooooooooooooo devastated! How could i only have put on 4 kilos but have such a humungus baby??? Im so scared. i have to have another growth scan in 2-3 weeks to see how her size is. Could they induce me so she doesnt get too big??? any nurses in the house?? im freaking out here! I have 8.5 weeks to go!!!! Having a baby over 9p is my worst nightmare. i like MY babies to look like new borns not look like they are 3 months old when they come out!

Had my midwife appointment yesterday, was good as gold. My belly measures 31 weeks (31cm) eeekkkkk!!! im only 27 weeks tomorrow! i ffreaked out a bit and she said its fine baby doesnt feel big, but its not really helped. She said the biggest baby she has birthed was 12 pounds 3 oz lol. OUCH! very happy with my weight gain or lack of. Was supposed to start going fortmightly but she is on her way as we speak to paris and a heap of other places for 3 weeks so ill see her in four weeks, and go two weekly from there

i have to have my 28w tests and at 32 weeks have to go and indure another round of gest diabetes tests. Gay!!

Feel kinda bored with pregnancy today. i think i feel bored with everything though. life is kinda stood still

hubby was kinda cheated out of a promotion at work. he has the responsility of management, but gets none of the perks, no pay raise, no work vehicle, and no title change, yet he is doing the managers job. She was asked to leave, cause she is an alchy, and has been fdoing a really crap job running the show for months now, hubby has almost been doing her job for the past 6 months. So its kinda a promotion, but not really, her job title was made redundant to get rid of her, cause she wouldnt leave. they should have fired her months sgo when they had more than enuf legal ground to do so. So i feel sad for hubby, and us, anyway, its a step in the right direction. hopefully after the big big compnay lifts the pay rise freeze at the end of the year they will pay him for what he is doing.. anyway, thats me :o)
