Larger family Chat Thread

I so hear you cathie. DF went away on a school camp for only 3 days and left me with the tribe of 5. I'm sure now that this new one will be the last one too lol.

Welcome Tegam to the larger families section.

Hey girls I have 4 little ferals do I qualify as a large family???

You sure do nina. Welcome to our larger families natter.

hey Kim B, How are you?

I'm well I have 7 weeks to go how quick has that gone.

Cathie

Hey Kim B, How are you going?

I have 7 weeks to go.

Cathie

Not doing so well cathie. I got the results back from my NT and Bloods and I have to have another amnio. Very worried now as I'm again older and just think I may have pushed my luck that little bit with getting another healthy bub. I have a dr appointment on Tuesday so will talk to him then and see what the ratio actually was and if they used my dates or the scan dates. I always have bigger bubs and it changes the details regarding the NT results if they use the scan dates. I don't feel that anything is wrong but there is always that niggle.

Yay for you only having 7 weeks to go. How do you feel??? Over it yet lol??

Keep your fingers crossed for me ladies that froggie is ok. Just what I don't need - stress

Oh Kim big :hug: from me, I hope everything works out for you. Try not to stress out too much I know it's hard.

Yeah I'm over it I had a scan last week and he was 5lbs 7 oz already. I hope he is not going to be too big. I've started my Xmas shopping will finish it next week as I could really go any time being my 6th.

Cathie

Thanks cathie. 5lb7 is a good size. DD3 was 7lb4 when she was born at 36 weeks so would have hated to see what she would have been lol. I have started the xmas shopping too but not sure what to get for some of the kids. We are cutting back on what we are spending on the kids because it can cost us a fortune (as you know). Fingers crossed we get good news from the amnio.

Yeah My husband keeps telling me to cut back, I said I will hahahahha.
But I can't help myself I just love Xmas, but I will try :rofl:
When will you find out the results?
Oh I've been getting BH contractions all day today, I'm starting to remember that it really really really hurts. Oh crap.

Cathie

hey cathie, how are you? Have the bh calmed down yet?

Am just waiting for the hospital to contact me re amnio date and also should be hearing from them re first appointment to book in. It always makes it seem more real when you start seeing the midwives :) Where are you birthing and did you get into a birth centre. Were you classed as high risk?? I still have to have my gd tests done yet so next hurdle to cross. Take care and chat soon

Hi kim,

BH have stopped so I'm glad about that. I've had all my kids at Hawkesbury Hospital Windsor and No I was not classed as high risk I'm seeing the midwifes. let me know how everything goes. take care big hugs Cathie

hey Cathie, well I got in contact with the hospital and it was just as well that I did asthey didn't have my referral from the gp grrrrrr. Well now I have an appointment on the 23rd of this month for the amnio. Still haven't heard yet about seeing the midwives :rolleyes: but the countdown is on for me now lol only 24 1/2 weeks to go :rofl: Hope you are doing ok

All the best for the 23rd of NOV, hahahahaha 24 and 1/2 weeks to go I have 4 weeks to go :leap:. I have had enough now ready to pop. :bellygrowing:

Big hugs for next week. :hug:
Cathie

Thanks cathie and I thought you'd get a giggle out of the countdown lol. Only 4 weeks to go wow. (When your done I'll be half way.) I remember what it was like to be that far and just think "hurry up please I'm done" Seriously the more we have the less time it should take to cook them ;)

We had a tradie in this morning installing our new showerscreen. OH it makes a difference in the bathroom and yay no more wet floor. Best $500 I have ever spent.

DF is taking Tuesday morning off to drive me to the hospital and back again for the amnio. I think this will be the first time he has managed to do that. He will freak when he sees the size of the needle lol.

We have my granddads birthday party on the weekend and he is 90. I'm going to try to find him some nice, aged scotch but am dreading the price tag. Will have a look later today as the guy doing the showerscreen told me of a place to go and look.

Oh well enough dribbling on from me. Only a little bit more to wait and then I can use my shower :) noice

hey KIm.
Just checking in to see how everything went today?

Amnio done - check

waiting for results - check

got to see bubs again - check

Everything went well yesterday. No hassles at all. Just resting up now on dr's advice. Have my 20 week scan booked for the 13/12. You should have yours by then :) Will be looking for your BA xxx

Hi kim,
great to hear all went well. yeah hopefully I have bub soon, really soon.

Hi Cathie,

We found out that all is good from the amnio and that we are having another girl. We don't get the Brady Bunch :( but are not to unhappy about it. Just glad that Frogglette is fine and healthy. The countdown is on for you now. How are you handling the heat?? At least this one will be a winter bubs. Now to start picking out girls names (groan) I'm sure this little one is going to be tricky
