Hey everyone, had the scan part of the NT test and it was so beautiful. My little bubba in there moving about like crazy, a beautiful healthy 158BPM heartbeat. Maybe they all kind of look the same but my first thought was "gee that looks like Nikita" wrong I know but wow. DH said the same thing when I showed him the dvd. I was straining so hard to see if if I could detect an outer or inner pee pee hole but honestly some parts of the scan it looks girl and other parts of the scan it looks boy. I have the 20 week scan in 6 weeks its a little earlier so will probably find out then BUT I do start my cervix screening in 2 weeks time. It will be done weekly or fortnightly until 24 weeks. He checked my cervix and said it looked good - long and closed it measures approx 6cm so thats good.
Was tested today for thrombophilia (sp?) will be interested to get the results. also had the normal screening ones they do at 8 weeks because Latrobe didn't do them 8 viles of blood later Pam my path nurse said she was so proud because it was a lot of blood.
So all in all I am elated, been feeling sad because of mothers day but yesterdays scan just lifted my spirits 10 fold. I also splurged a little and brought myself some new perfume - Mark Jacobs Daisy (the new one) oh I love it I haven't loves a perfume like this for years.
Just want to link you to some poems I have posted...
I will be away for about a week from Sunday. I have been really unwell for a few months now and I am having a hysterectomy... I will be around until Sunday but while I have a moment just wanted to let you all know...
If you click HERE you can read the few poems...
Deb, good luck with the op and I hope you feel better soon.
Nae, congrats on the good scan!! It sounds like they're taking good care of you too. I know having more frequent scans helped me a lot.
Lee, congrats on the new bub!!
Jude, you can look me up on Facebook, I'm under Roslyn Walker and there's the ocean in the background. They were in my thin days *sigh* I have 10 kilos to lose, but am having trouble giving up my eat whatever I want habits!!
Sorry I have been MIA. My modem has a virus so I am struggling to log onto the internet. First time in ages I have been able to get onto a website.
Hope you are all keeping well.
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and so far everything seems to be going fine. Just my mental state that is hard to deal with. We have tried to find out the sex of our bub at last scan but bub had umbilical cord between it's legs so they couldnt tell us.
I just wanted to let everyone know that my c-section is going to be on June 3rd!
I have to start a new blood thinner on Friday. I will take heparin twice a day because it clears out of my system faster. Just in case he decides that he wants to come out before the c-section date!
Laney, woohoo!!! less than 3 weeks, so exciting!!! I hope you do a better job of containing your excitement than I did... I didn't get much sleep leading up, too excited... boy did I regret that afterward haha!!1
Theresa, I was wondering about you!!! You're so far along now... the lead-up to 35 weeks is going to be really difficult for you I'm sure, no magic advice for you I'm afraid. Big hugs, your baby will be in your arms screaming in no time!!
Henry is a pooping and vomiting machine... this morning he did an explosive poo out the side of his freshly changed nappy, weed twice whilst trying to change him (and WHERE does all that pressure come from?? the stream goes so high!!) and spit up everywhere... I have to laugh though, it's all good fun!!! He's asleep in his bouncer now, he looks so angelic when he's asleep.
