Hi Ladies!!

KLee... for you for getting to the time in your pregnancy when Phoebe was lost.. no days are easy- but that day will be particularly hard xxooo. Good on you for planning some awesome distractions though!! Pampering is a lovely idea!!! After calling you crazy for your move- once it is all over- it hasnt been too bad- and you will be sooo happy surrounded by wide open spaces tree's and Jo will love it too!! And on the sneaky side- you get loads of help and no one lets you clean or move anything when your preg- and you will be the same having just had bubs!!

Laney... Big hugs to you too for all your sad Angel Days approaching- and Graysons Birthday too- you do deserve some congrats there though girl.. you have made it so far in the pregnancy!! Well done! I know your not through your scary times yet and you still have some ways to come- but you are doing soo well!!

jlk..... BASH< BANG##* WACK^^ SLAP>>> Thats me beating your crazy lady with a big stick.. GO AWAY CRAZY LADY!!!!! Seriously though- your journey will be hard right to the end Jo.. just keep relying on those movements and poke bubs if you need to and drink lot of cold drinks and eat lollies to make her move xoxoxoxo I am here if you need to chat xoxoxo

dory.... Another bitter sweet little wohoo to you dear- well done on making it this far- you are fast approcahing being the most pregnant you have ever been (in saying that sincere and thoughts to you as you have gone passed all theose dates where your angels grew their wings xoxox)
Im sorry you had to attend a funeral- i think its normal for anyone with a life growing inside them to feel slightly weird while trying to concentrate on death. Its kind of hard to ignore the wiggles and not think about the irony. The way i see it- is that life and death is a cycle, so to have life there must be death- the two are so intertwined- (as we all know REALLY well) When is you rnext check up or scan??

Hi to everyone else out there, breakfast time is over here, so its playtime! I will try to catch up on more personals soon xoxox

Take care everyone!!

Starbright - thankyou for your kinds words... they helped. Hoped breakfast time wasn't too chaotic. How is Shane going? Hard to believe he's not that far away from the big '2'. My niece popped around the other day and for various reasons I hadn't seen her or her kids ( my great nephew and niece) for about 8 months. Her little girl was 10 months last time I saw her and is now a cut little toddler aged 18 months. Her little boy was just as cute and talkative as ever. I imagine that Shane is just as cute as a button. How is he coping with your expanded bellly?

I have scheduled appointments with my ob every two weeks - the last one was Wednesday last week and the next one Wednesday next week 2nd June. However as I am feeling in need of reassurance, I have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow. Was hoping for today, but can manage with tomorrow. Today is my obs caesar/procedure day, so he's usually in theatre until later in the arvo. I have a friend coming to visit, and didn't want to put her off. So tommorrow it is for a variety of reasons. No more scans booked, but am going to arrange a non diagnostic scan, again for reassurance.

On a much funnier note, we took all 3 cats to the vet for their annual check up and vaccination on Saturday. OMG it was hilarious. The 3 of them all yowled at the tops of their lungs as soon as they were in the travel crates and continued for the 30 mins car trip and THEN in the waiting room whilst we waited about 15-20 mins. They scared one cat into the back of her crate, and instigated another two to start up a racket. Strangely, they were quiet during the consult, but then as soon as they were out of the consult room the racket started again and continued all the way home. When we were in the waiting room, everyone was laughing at them. My mum says better than frowning or telling us off. We got a recording of the cacaphony and will email it to some of our cat lover friends, who might understand. I told DH it was good practice for when baby is crying in the car or in public....fur babies, wouldn't b e without them....


Mo4 - how are you doing? I hope still without any more bleeding.....

Laney, Klee, JLK, - thinking of you...

[Laney]

Kategirl had her little boy! I just found this post!
"Today at 3:57pm, Xavier Michael was born weighing 3.45 kg. He is healthy and well. We are looking forward to a big sleep, at least that is the plan! Photo to come tomorrow."

Thinking of you and your precious Shelby today Laney xoxo My candle is burning brightly for her memory today xoxox

And congrats to Katiegirl and her DH and Anna on the safe arrival of Xavier! xoxo

Hi everyone,

dory- congrats on getting this far! I am so proud of you! You can totally think of me as bermuda girl....I am pretty suure this baby was conceived in Bermuda so I find myself addressing the little one as Bermuda baby! hehe. I loved your cat story.....so funny!

Katie girl- Congrats on the arrival of your DS
Ellie-Congrats on the arrival of your DD

Wow- it seems so far away for me!

MO4- wow the bleeding has stopped! Hooray! My last pregnancy i had a subchorionic hematoma....and I bled for almost 10 weeks....it was SO nice to have it done.....on the downside witht his pregnancy I keep waiting for the bleeding any day.

Charlie B- when is your due date? It will be neat to see how close we end up. I think mine is January 8th.

Klee and starbright- How are you doing?

Klee- closing on your due date! Wow! I hope your DH is a good decorator! Best of luck to you in your new house and a HUGE congrats!

Beata- I cannot believe Cameron is already 10 weeks old! Wow! I guess time flies!

Laney- How are you doing? Do you have some apts before June 14 to at let you listen to the little heart? Does that help?

AFM- I am doing really well- a few nightmares but overall really well. I am not bleeding which is HUGE for me right now, and really helps with my peace of mind. I am also really not dealing with too much m/s which I really can't complain about- a little nausea here and there is far better than throwing up every day which was what I expected. I am headed into my first doctors apt tomorrow. No scans or bloodwork or anything scheduled yet......Any advice on talking about cerclage? I have the option, but they really don't know if cervical opening caused the infection that they think led to my miscarriage ugh I hate that term) or vice versa.

Best of luck everyone!

cmeglles, good luck with your appt. Glad you don't have too much m/s. I have had it bad twice and hardly anything twice.
Thanks for asking about me. I don't have any appts until the 14th I could have if I really needed it but I have a home doppler. I can hear bubs heartbeat anytime I need to (which is a lot the past week or so). The worry is really starting to get to me now. The scan on the 14th is a big one for me.

SB, thanks hun. It was a very difficult day for me. I tried to stay really really busy all day. It was such a bad idea. I was so tired out by the end of the day and Grayson was soooo over tired that we both had a bit of a melt down. We both feel a bit better now after a good sleep. I think the worry about this pregnancy is getting bad. If I listen with the doppler and down hear little kicks as well as the heart beat I worry....pretty much every little thing makes me worry right now.
How are you doing? Are you all settled in your new house?

dory, How did your appt. go? I hope the extra visit helped to calm your nerves.

Hi to everyone else. I hope you are all doing well.
