Dory - So glad you at least got AF. Sending :babydust: your way for next month. Happy 70th to your dad!..

Skybie - Dealing with the hospital can be so hard. I have been there twice now and didn't cry. I have cried every other time, whether it be walking in walking out or during a consultation. It was only 2 appointments ago when I was walking out and it occurred to me that I hadn't cried. It's a weird feeling. I felt good, but there's also that slight bit of guilt. It's hard to explain... I'm so glad your pregnancy is going well.

Tylersmummy - Bleeding noses suck. I haven't had them as such, but my nose does bleed when I blow it, and in the morning I wake up with it clogged sometimes. Yukky, but very common! for you. I wish our babies were all here too and we didn't have to go to bed wishing..

AFM - LONG POST!!

Firstly i can't believe that this gestation with my baby boys I was in labour!! Only 4 days til I get over that milestone of 24+2..

I went to the cardiac clinic on Monday and mentioned that I hadn't seen my normal OB for a while, so the phoned her and asked her to see me. She did which was good. She is really really happy how things are going. We went over all the scans and she confirmed that my cervix is looking really good and it was probably just mucous in the 19wks scan. She ALSO confirmed that my swabs came back clear and I don’t have thrush,( WTF?? lol) it is probably the coating of the progesterone pessaries irritating me causing me to be sore and itchy so she told me I could give them a break for a few days. I’ll probably stop them for 3 or 4 nights then continue on til about 28wks. My next scan and OB app is when I’m 26wks so we will discuss ceasing them then. I didn't put one in last night and already I feel better.. Mind over matter?? Who knows, but I don't care! Lol

I asked Dr P if she was still looking at an early c section and she said yes probably at 36 and a bit. She said we could see how we are going if we felt comfortable we could push it back, but I doubt that will happen because I will be 38wks on the 23rd, so if I had it then I would be in hospital at xmas (not that it bothers me, but it probably wouldn't be planned like that) and I doubt she would want to leave it til 39wks. I'm not sure if I want to end up in labour over xmas, and end up with an emergency c section..

On Tuesday I went through all my baby stuff to figure out what I need for Button. I went through stuff I had from family day care years ago,filled a bag for the op shop. I just picked out the best stuff and I’m getting rid of the rest.

I went through Taite and Seth’s stuff too. I really don’t need a lot, I will use most of that, I have just kept a few outfits that I wont use and that I will keep just for them. I have picked Button’s going home outfit. It is an all in one but it’s long sleeved so I may have to buy something short sleeve, it will be hot in December. I coped really well emotionally going through the twins clothes etc, but then I came to the congratulations cards I got when they were born. I bawled my eyes out then, but you know it felt good just to sit with their stuff and cry. I haven't done that for a long time.

I am starting to truly believe that Button will be coming home in about 14wks.. I can't wait to get the furniture out of layby, particularly the drawers so I can put the clothes and stuff properly away and not have it all stacked in the wardrobe! Lol

So that's me. I'm feeling really good and I'm not bedresting anymore. In fact I am going out for lunch today with a friend i haven't caught up with in ages. Yay
