Good Morning everyone
So sorry if I don't do all the personals, I am just finding it hard to keep up with all the preggies in here.
Greenslw: Congrats on a fantastic scan. In regards to the Downs Scan, we all stress about this one although I think Murph is the best one to talk to you about the stresses after her experience with the Downs results and her little Jazzy. And the Carb thing due to PCOS... Never heard of that before, I have severe PCOS and have had nothing said to me about avoiding carbs (which is impossible during 1st trimester and MS as it is the only thing that seems to help). Up until 20 weeks I had actually lost 2.5kg from my pre-pregnancy weight and as at now I have put that back on and and additonal 3.5kg (6kg in total) but that is completely normal weight gain during the 2nd trimester. I think I would go mad if I couldn't have my carbs...
Grub: Sorry can't help with the not being able to go to sleep a night. My thing is getting up at 4am for my regular loo trip and then going back to bed and not being able to go back to sleep for almost 2 hours, then getting woken up again when
DH's alarm goes off at 7am. I'm using this as practice for when I have to do night feedings.
Saph: Good news about your numbers. My FS didn't do any follow up BT's after we got our BFP, just the 7 week scan to confirm all was o.k. As some of the other girls have said I think after a certain time the numbers take longer to kick in. Good luck with your scan tomorrow.
Smithy: Gotta love the unpredicability of MS, just when you think it is easing off it comes back with a vengenance. As for you thinking you are having a blue bundle, the way things are going in here at the moment, Blue is the prominent colour so you never know. Although at 8 weeks I was sure I was having a boy and then at my 18 week scan a very lady like view of bubba with legs wide apart and no little extra's. So spent 10 weeks convinced it was blue and have now spent the last 6 weeks going pink crazy (baby girl clothes as so adorable).
Kaydee: Hope you are feeling better now. On the last few weeks OMG, where has the time gone.
MissM: So funny about the ebay thing. Good to have a back up plan in place but hey... 2 cots from none at all. Luckily you are getting some other big items from you SIL, makes it so much cheaper and then you can use that extra cash to splurge on some new big ticket items yourself.
BDT: 2 heartbeat so early on, you have a couple of good little sticky ones in there. Just wait you are only a few weeks away from your MS kicking in.....
MHB: Congrats on your 30 week milestone. After so much drama during this preg for you now you are on to the home stretch.
To all our other girls, I hope that you are doing well.
AFM: Back from Perth with a bit of a head cold, luckily not too bad and have seemed to shaken most of it off now. Little miss has now turned very active and even
DH has been able to feel her kicking, he said if feels like bubbles popping. I am starting to get a feel for her sleep patterns, especially at night and if they continue to when she arrives I'm hoping she will be a good sleeper. Generally in the evening she wakes up about 7.30pm and has a bit of a play around and then again about 10pm, then I don't get anything again until generally about 5am and then again about 8am. If she feels that sleeping from 10pm to 5am is a good thing, then I'm sure not going to complain. Did more shopping again yesterday, ahhh gotta love sales.... Bought a heap of size 0 clothes and some size 1's for next winter, so am now pretty much set for the next year with her clothes, will only need to buy singlets, socks etc as she grows during this time. So my request for clothes from anyone now are just sleeping bags in 00, 0 & 1 for the different seasons (because these never seem to be on special). My
OB appt is next week and then I'll be on 2 weekly's after that, then time will really start to fly. I am going to get a referral next visit to have a 4D scan done as well, we decided early on to have it done and
DH is really looking forward to it as he is a little disappointed that after the 20 week scan that no other's are done as a standard.
Wow, I didn't realise how long my post was... Better get moving or it will be afternoon before I know it.
