How low can you go, baby...

Mum's thinking of you too (you two?) and sends her love.

Aliantha · 09-14-2012, 03:41 AM

Tell your Mum thanks Sundae.

It's very kind of her to think of us. xxx

Had to go to the hospital again yesterday for another checkup. They want to see me bi-weekly now because of my issues. Anyway, still a few concerns about the baby's heart rate. Yesterday it was pretty low. Around 115 at the lowest point, then up pretty high, about 175 at the highest. They're not sure why it's doing that, but both readings fall in the normal category, but at the extremes, so not quite bad enough to panic, but enough to be concerned. I imagine there'll be quite a few tests after she's born just to make sure everything's working ok. It's possibly just related to her sleeping or being active, coupled with my BP and sugar issues, on top of me being tired and irritable as all expectant mothers are by this stage.

So anyway, I have to go again on Wednesday. They want to talk about induction then. Hopefully if she's not here by then, it'll be on Thursday. Dazza has to go away in the first week of October, so it'd be nice if he had at least one week before he has to leave.

Mama Cass and Twiggy were born on 19 September.
Not a bad birthday to share for mini-Ali!

Aliantha · 09-16-2012, 04:14 AM

I'm hoping for the 16th/17th.

Sundae · 09-16-2012, 04:52 AM

Rosh Hashanah on the 17th.
You can ask Sheldon to be her fairy godfather.

Aliantha · 09-16-2012, 06:34 PM

Hahaha...I'm sure Sheldon would be a great FGF, but he's a bit far away to do much real good.

Anyway, we're nearly half way into the 17th and not even looking like joy, so you'll have to look something up for the 18th I think mate.

Griff · 09-16-2012, 07:11 PM

Good luck Ali!

Aliantha · 09-16-2012, 08:01 PM

Thanks Griff. 38 weeks today. I feel like I need some luck or something. lol I really thought she'd be here by now.

monster · 09-16-2012, 08:10 PM

If you hang on for another week, you'll have to call her monster.....

Aliantha · 09-16-2012, 08:12 PM

haha...she is already referred to as 'the little monster' from time to time.

monster · 09-16-2012, 08:15 PM

then you're all set. monster it is. proceed with the birthing at your leisure.

But 23 is also a prime number, a great date to be born on. 19 is acceptable, but shared with my niece.

Aliantha · 09-16-2012, 08:18 PM

I might wait till the 19th, but if she's not here by the 23rd I'm going to kill myself. lol

monster · 09-16-2012, 08:23 PM

19th and you'll have to call her Oral i mean Orla. Her name is Orla.

Aliantha · 09-16-2012, 10:35 PM

Well, I don't like that name either V!

Just checked my cervix and it's finally starting to dilate, so who knows. Maybe tonight!
