HELLO!

Post by rachel r »

Hi All,

Don't know if anyone's noticed I've not been about but I'm back anyway - couldn't get into the site at work and home computer has been a nightmare. Finishing work this Friday and it can't come soon enough as you;ll all know! Herbie is due on the 27th Feb and all, touch wood, is going well. I've put on 18 pounds which I'm really pleased about as was on the "voluptuous" side to start with!!!!! He's been laying tranverse for months and has now moved but is feet first - as time goes on it looks more and more likely that it'll be a c-section - and if so, probably around the 13th/14th Feb (except the 13th is a Friday and Im way too superstitious!). Feel a bit disappointed that with everything having gone so well to date that I won't be able to deliver him naturally but then keep thinking that as long as he's safe and well, it doesn't matter - I just want to meet him now. His nursery is done and all his little clothes are hanging up and the hospital bag is done, and Im so impatient!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also feel like i've had the baby blues which is silly as I can't have if he hasn't been born! The last few weeks i've felt excited but also sad that its the end of an era for DH and I just being a couple - that must sound so ridiculous. Herbie is all we've ever wanted but Rob and I have had 11 fab years with just the two of us, and now its going to change, and I guess I just feel apprehenisive, as Im not a great one for change (she says, 34 weeks pg!!!!)

Anyway, now I've done my update, Im off to catch up on weeks and weeks of postings!

Love to you all and your bumps and recent arrivals!

Love

Rachel

Hi Rach,

Well nice to see you back, its weird really all things we think about isn't it. I sit there some days and I think well what will it be like when baby is not in my tummy, I am so much looking forward to holding my baby in my arms but it will be so weird not feeling the movement inside. I am also like you, its going to be a big adjustment with DH because its only ever been the two of us but when little one comes it will be so different, but I wouldn't change it for the world and I guess you wouldn't either.

Well keep us posted on how things go!!

Its all so exciting.

Love
Shell.
