Dory, good luck with your up coming scan. I know very well the feelings that you are having. With Grayson, I just couldn't bring myself to believe that he was coming home. I felt positive that I was doing the right thing with the blood thinner injections. It was impossible to get over the feeling that I was going to lose him at any moment. It did get a tiny bit easier when I could feel him moving all day. If he even stopped for a second I was poking at him to get him to move more.
I am very surprised that I have been coping much better this time around. It does help that Grayson keeps me very busy. I think that it also helps that I am not suffering from the depression that I had since Parker's death. I do find myself getting a bit emotional this week. I think that is because Shelby's 2nd angel day and Parker's 3rd are both very soon. I do have my moments when I feel like a crazy lady again too. I think that is because in 6 weeks I have my big scan. The scan when they told me that Parker and Shelby were not doing well. I am trying hard to stay positive. My high risk doctor always told me that the odds are in my favor so I am trying to tell myself that.
Dory and Laney, so glad that everything is going well with you ladies. 19 weeks Dory, woohoo!
Jlk, yay for your OB app. going well!
Hello to everyone else, sorry don't have much energy to post. Still struggling with the sleep deprivation, but getting better. My wee man was 6 weeks yesterday, where does the time go??? Feel like a zombie today
Just another quickie from me.. the move is well and truely on.. DH has been working full time now signed all the forms, and we are staying in canberra with relatives frantically house hunting!! Its all happening! I have also made contact with the antenatal clinic here at a hospital called Calvary and i see them in a week to book in so they know i am here. I also still have my other booking back in VIC just in case!! CRAZY TIMES!!!
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANYONE RENTING A HOUSE OUT IN CANBERRA?? LOL I am madly getting references together and applying for everything and anything i can!!!
Baby wise- i am feeling good- belly is expanding at a rapid rate and she is moving like crazy!! I m being too busy to think any bad crazy thoughts, and i will admit i feel lot better being in the same town as a hospital!!
Sorry to be so slack in here- my thoughts are with you all and hopefully once i am settled down i will be a better poster
Take care everyone!!!
Big Belly Rubs and tickles to all the new bubbas!!
Starbright - you sound so positive and organised. I hope you find some digs soon. I don't have any Canberra connections.....
KAM - how are you doing?
Laney - You are doing so well. I can so feel your fear and axneity leading up to the next few mnths, so many dates of significance. Thankyou for your kind and understanding words - they helped a lot. I think itsprobably good to be distracted by Grayson. I find when I am distracted it is easier to cope. That's why weekends are so good for me.
Beata - Oh wow, our little knight in shining armour - aka Cameron - is 6 weeks old, already! It must be just so amazing, sleep deprivation and all. How long between feeds at the mo? Is he getting more into something that might look like a routine, even if only 3 hours between feeds?
JLK - I just re read your post and it struck me. Your ob is talking about labour! How awesome.
Hi to anyone else I have missed. I am a bit spacey today. Really hungry at the moment, but don't know what I feel like eating. Oh only 5 more sleeps til my scan on Tuesday.
HI ladies, fantastic news for dory and jlk getting past and close to some milestones, thinking of you girls
sorry for the lack of personals, but wanted to ask starbright, have you got any tips for me on handling it all so well? we are in almost the same boat ie moving, and I feel like i am in meltdown today. we just sold our house on the weekend and may have bought another one (just waiting for confirmation) but everybody has something to say about me moving to the country and its doing my head in, do they not know i am hopefully having a baby in 6 weeks and to talk to me about if and when this bub comes home, cause i really don't need this stress. add on top i had a scan today, dr was happy with scan, but from last scan to this one bubs has dropped about 15% in growth, when really he should have picked up shouldn't he?! oh i don't know, just very teary, maybe its just been a big week, sorry for the vent, but just needed to get it out.
Hi all. I have been missing in action for ages. Apologies, just slack.
Klee, I honestly think that a lot of the later scans where they tell you about the baby's size etc are not accurate. I am always hearing about women saying that their baby was too big to deliver and had a CS and then the baby is born and it is normal size and weight. It sounds like your bub is going well and surely by this stage some are smaller than others - just like when they are born? Anyway I know you must be worried, but I am sending you lots of hugs and positive thoughts. I often feel massively worried after a scan even when the Ob says it is all good, it is like I don't fully believe him. Don't push yourself too much with the move, let others do the lifting and cleaning for you!
Starbright, wow what a move. I hope it all goes very smoothly.
Hi to everyone else, will have to read back through to see what is happening.
As for me, 3 weeks to go! I had an ob appt on Tuesday and the baby was looking good. My ob thinks I will not go early based on Anna being so overdue. I do not want to go too early but anytime from 39 weeks would be good. The baby is a good kicker so that is all very reassuring.
