SNAPPED !!!

Well.... Lacy still has NOT had any proper contractions!  She's perfectly comfortable... weird.
Also, Tess over in Aussy (DIL) has a false alarm too...
SO... still NO BABIES.
The only thing FOR SURE today is that Lacy no doubt WILL go into labour!  Her waters broke last night.... so Miss Muppet should be here today?


***************************************************

I try to buy sandwich spreads for the kids lunches that I know they love.
Brylee LOVES sweet spreads... so I bought a big jar of Nutella the other day.


Yesterday after lunch, Brylee asked me if she could have something for afternoon tea... and I said yes, she could have a Muesli Bar or some fruit.


I was in the lounge.


Bex goes into the kitchen and there is Brylee with Nutella all over her finger and mouth... holding an orange in her other hand.


Bex said: "What are you doing?"
Brylee said: I'm just getting a Muesli Bar"


Bex said: " Muesli Bar huh?.  No you're not... you've got Nutella all over your face!"


Brylee took off to the bathroom to clean up the 'evidence'.


So.. Bex came and told me about it.... cos I yelled out what was going on?


Hmmmm.... I called Brylee into the lounge to tell ME what she had been doing?  She owned up to pinching the Nutella.


My response:  "So Brylee, what time do you think you are going to bed tonight?"


Brylee:  "Ummm.... 8.30?"
Me:  "Think again... how about 7.30!"

And guess what?
I ain't buying any more Nutella!  It is way too expensive to have some little shit eating it out of the jar... and then lying about it.


ABOVE:  she's gunna hate me for this photo!  lol


ONWARD...  Who knows... the next photo might be of .... MISS MUPPET!


Useless bit of information:  My new mattress is exactly 40 cm (16 inches) deep... NOT counting the base!  It's DEVINE !


We have a plan.
We meet the midwife at 1.30 at Middlemore Hospital...Lacy will be assessed.  IF it is obvious she is NOT going to go into labour herself... she will be induced tonight. Yaaa!
So there will be a baby sometime today or tomorrow!


OH and in case anyone wonders.... me new bed was AWESOME!  I slept like a baby.  It is sooooo soft!  LOVE LOVE LOVE It.


Can't wait until 1.30pm... we will know more after seeing the midwife....
Lacy is having NO PAINS WHATSOEVER.  Bugger.


ABOVE:  I'm ready.

ABOVE:  waiting... one is reading "Mummy Porn" and the other is on Facebook.... 

ABOVE: topic of conversation right now?  Tattoo's... Lacy wants to add Miss Muppet's initial on her arm to add to Brylee and Griffin's.
So she was stressing thinking it wouldn't fit.... so I grabbed a pen and showed her it would. 
She's happy now.
2 hours till be will be at the hospital...


ANON:  just so ya know... she wasn't HUNGRY.  She was being greedy.   Read my disclaimer above... the last couple of lines apply to your comment.


HOME.  Induction will take place tomorrow morning 9am.  It could take a while.  If induction fails, a C-Section will happen.


End of Day: I'm off to bed really early tonight... I'm knackered.  Hopefully Lacy gets a good night's rest... cos tomorrow is going to be a long day for her... and me.
nite nite.


EDIT:  she's started having some pains (9pm)... so I had to get outta bed dammit.

  1. There is nothing quite so nice as a great new mattress. I love my bed a bit too much.
    Do midwives there administer drugs?
    After 24 hours there is a higher risk of infection once the water has broken. If Lacy isn't contracting they need to induce her labor.
    Bet that little Muppet is going to be cute. How do the kids feel about it?

  5. or maybe Fri, Saturday. I was induced with Evianah and she still took three days to arrive. ( ironically she arrived on the 25th October which happens to be 'labour day'. (boy was it ever). After three days of contractions and all the drama that went with it I was exhausted. Hope it all goes smoothly with Lacy and my one piece of advise is 'she is the boss'. Wish I had been alot more proactive 15 years ago as I basically went along with what I was told to do, even when I wanted different things.

  6. Oh Chris, I will be waiting in suspense all day for Miss Muppet to arrive. Good luck, and good luck to Lacy.

  7. How exciting!!!! Like Lynise I was induced with Samyson & he took 3 days to arrive!

    Brylee cracked me up - still at least she's eating:-)

    I am looking forward to Miss Muppet updates & tell Lacy all the best from me.

  16. I dont buy nutella anymore as the kids have to hide it from me or i get caught by them getting in to it like Brylee does. Its just sooooooooooo good. I'm 34 so im guessing she will still be eating it for years to come! Bugga about Lacey as i had today as her due date :( All the best. Bee

  18. I have the same problem with Nutella. Mine eats it with a spoon. I did find a cheap version which tastes just as good but costs half the price so I have that in there. She hasn't touched it... amazing!

    Woohoo, now we just need to get Lacy to wait until 3-whatever I said tomorrow and we'll be right! lol

    good luck!

  22. I gave up buying Nutella for the exact same reason. Too expensive to be eating it with a tablespoon (as my son was). I do love it with strawberries though.

    I hope everything goes well for Lacy and Tess if anything starts with her.
