Thread: The "Jackie baby watch! Erin gets her IUD out!" chat #30

It sounds like things are improving, Wendy. I hope the wet season doesn't bother him this year.

Jackie, wow, she has dropped. Anything else happening with Zoe that makes you think sooner rather than later?

It's my Mum's birthday today so I just called her to say happy birthday. I put Ronin on to say happy birthday as well, cheapest present ever, he even sang her his own little song in the background

I bet she loved that more than any present.

Yup, I have a bottle of choc mint cream here that I wil likely give her as well, hubby had bought a port for her but he drank it. I got the choc mint but really will never drink it so I can give it to her. For Christmas she is getting a capsule coffe machine which is what she has asked for so my brother and I are splitting the cost

Yes, hugs Kristi. I know that has to be SUCH a hard decision. Some good friends of ours had an older dog who bit their 4 year old in the face only slightly provoked (the kid took his pillow), and they knew it was time to call it...but fortunately he is still in good enough health that they were able to just rehome him to a kid-free household. I believe you said yours is getting quite old and sick, though, right?

Jackie, that is one of the lowest babies I've ever seen! Remind me of your actual "due" date, just for kicks?

So we had a very interesting conversation about pros/cons of #2 today. I'd say we're both more like 50/50 now. We agreed to move up our decision to January, because if we're going to do it, we'd rather have them closer than farther apart at this point, and if we're really for sure good with our power threesome then we need to just move on. We have a long history of making fast decisions that haven't always been the smartest, though, so we're sitting on this for a bit to each mull it over and give the pros and cons some time to float around and settle. Hopefully we'll have a strong feeling one way or the other when it's time to make a decision...we shall see. Right now I feel a "yes" both ways pretty much equally. Hm.

Adair's vote: "I want a bruvver."

Good luck with making your decsion Leigh. Adair sounds like Ronin, though he tells everyone about his 'dister' all the time. When we have #2 if it's not a 'dister' I will have one very disappointed boy, he is so sure he is getting a sister one day.

I like Adair's vote. That is cute. It seem like a good idea that you guys moved the date up. Plenty of time to think it through, and still give you quick freedom to not think about it anymore if you decide that is the direction you want to go. You may have said it before, but will DH get the "v" your birth control? Or do you want it that permanent?

Nothing new today at all. Just her being low with lots of lower pelvic pressure (kinda feels like she's trying to nudge her way out lol). My cervix is lower, but not any lower than it was Saturday. I think at this point I'm just waiting for early labor to randomly kick in for anything else to happen.

EDD is Wednesday! Have to admit that I'm curious what the MW has to say at my appt that day.

I'm mostly just confident that I'm not going to hit 42 weeks. I was thinking that I may not make it to Wednesday, but today I'm thinking I probably will. But then again I've been really relaxed today and enjoying one on one time with Aiden. Don't feel as if I'm in a rush for her at all....until I go to walk somewhere.

that sounds like you have lots of time to think about it and make a good decision good luck with whatever you decide!

Lucas is starting to get into babies. He points and says "baby!!" my nephew is around 5 months and he loves watching him and has given him kisses a couple of times.

I called the midwife today, the receptionist said the midwives have their meetings Monday so unless I missed this weeks I will have to wait to find out until next Wednesday if they will accept me or not. The midwife I had last time is gone, so I feel way better that I won't have her again.

I want to say that Jackie's EDD is the 19 th, but that seems too far away to be right. Jackie?

I hope Ronin gets to sleeping better consistently. Kole has started waking up earlier and earlier to where he now spends most of the night in bed with me. It was fine but now it's started to really interfere with my sleep. So I'm trying to get him to spend more of the night in his own bed, especially sine he will have his own room in a month.
