I've been away at the In-Laws place by the beach since Christmas Eve and haven't had phone reception or internet access, got back late yesterday morning, but have been crazy buisy tying to sort out centrelink issues (I forgot to ring up last friday d'oh!) and I didn't get a payment yesterday so had to sort it all out today, so hopefully (fingers X'ed) it will be in my account this friday so I can buy some food... because we are running out of milk and andh ave no fruit left and DS has decided to develop a humungous appetite once again (I can just see another growth spurt on it's way again) and is eating everything under the sun.

Other news, still getting Braxton Hicks most of the day every day, saw the OB again today (I really like him, hubby does too, which is good) and as of this morning my BP was 120/80, Little Miss Dragonfly was doing fine, fundal height was measuring at 32wks - so only 5 weeks ahead now instead of the 6wks ahead that it was back when I was 22wks - and we are still on semi-permanent couch rest because of the braxton Hicks and I get to have another scan at 36wks to see how big Little Miss is and to check amniotic fluid levels... Dr Danso also had a chance to look at my records from DS and has deduced that DS may have become posterior while I was pushing (we thought we'd managed to turn him round the right way and face backwards before I got fully dilated) and that might explain why I had to have a c-section with him...

SO, that means...

We have now been given the go-ahead to try for a VBAC!!! YAY!!! So excited, but also a bit apprehensive as I was planning on having an active labour this time around (I had an epidural with DS and was on my back unable to move or feel my legs and stuck to monitors for the entire time I was in active labour) and i've now been told that I will be allowed to go into labour naturally as long as I don't go past 41.5-42wks because they don't want to put extra straight on my scar and want to avoid as much intervention as possible, but I will have to be monitored continuously as soon as I turn up at the hospital to make sure that Little Miss doesn't start to get stressed or anything... so no long hot showers or time in the gorgeous bath I saw in the birthing suite the other week Oh well, maybe I could get away with staying in the bath at home and *losing* track of time and end up having the homebirth I've found myself dreaming of once a week hehehe

So anyway, have the GTT test tomorrow morning at 8:30am, I'm going to really hate not having my morning coffee and plum jam on toast, but I'm sure I will survive, and then I get to do a tour of the maternity ward at 3pm on the 5th Which should be fun and then I see Dr Danso again on the 19th at 30wks...

Sorry for no persies, haven't got much time spare right now so just doing quick update posts.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you'll all have a wonderful new year!
