Scan went beautifully! Baby was looking great, healthy and active. Measuring 19 +3, so on schedule or a little ahead. And it looks like DS is going to get a BROTHER!!!

Oh Cricket, Congratulations!!!!! Glad to hear everything is healthy and baby bonus of having a brother!!!!

Aimz, loved your birth story (did I say that already??)


I have been away I will pop back in later to catch up. Have a midwife apt this morning, gee they seem to be coming up quickly now!!

Congrats Cricket!!!

Well Little Miss Z is doing well. The only downfall we had to the rapid birth was it burst blood vessels in both her eyes so they are pretty blood shoot and will take a few weeks to go down. Luckily they dont hurt her.
She is feeding like a champ and at day 8 was only 80g off her birth weight so the midwives are pretty happy with her. She had gained 190g in 4 days!!

Cricket: congratulations on baking another little baby boy! so happy that things looked good and baby is on track and a brother for DS...that is very special xx

Beatrix: oh wow...didnt think of that kind of impact of a fast birth! and a BIG woo hoo on those weight gains! that is some champion feeding

Teni: ooh bah humbug on the crappy radiologist. they can be so stuck in their ways it is unbelievable how much 'out of the box' stumps them lol.

Beatrix - I've had a couple babies with broken blood vessels in their eyes too. It does look a little nasty, doesn't it? And some people look at them and are afraid something is drastically wrong.... They did eventually disappear completely though - no worries! And what a terrific eater that little one is! Great job mama!

We are pretty excited about a new little boy in the family. A girl would have been just fine too, and we would have been very happy, but it is special for DS to have a brother, I think. DH never had a brother, so he's pretty thrilled for DS too. Now we just have to come up with a name....
