Laney - how did Graysons party go? And the cleaning? Its tough when whilst you feel you need more appointments for reassurance, at the same time its a bit hectic with Grayson.... if you have an Obstetrician that you see regularly, can you make an arrangement with them that you will call before your appointment to see whether the Ob is running on time or not? And then you can either be at home if you live close or outside or even in the car and then you can go in when you know there's not too much of a wait? My Ob has a kiddies play area, but he also doesn't mind kids making a fuss and thankfully hardly ever runs really late, or if he is his receptionist calls. Anyway, hope you get on top of your anxiety, at leat some of the time.
M04 - I hope you are feeling better. I haven't had an anterior or low placenta, but I imagine it would make it even harder not being able to feel bubs move, I know it certainly has helped me quell some of my anxiety. But as with all things, it does create a whole host of other concerns....
Starbright - how are you going? 35 weeks is awesome. Thinking of you.... are you huge and uncomfortable? I am really looking forward to that!
AFM - not much going on here. Just being grateful for each day. Have to take #2 furbaby into the vet this Tuesday for a tooth extraction. No doubt I will be worried, but hopefully not as much as last time, but if I am so be it. I got so anxious last time about the cat I went to see the obstetrician as my anxiety flowed over to bubs. At least I could get some reassurance about bubs whilst I was waiting for the cat to come home....
Kam, JLK, Klee, Cmeglles - hope you are all doing well. Thinking of you.
laney - how was graysons birthday? did he have a lovely day? i had teh placenta at the front too this time, and i didn't feel anything til the day before 21 weeks and then didn't really get daily movements til 25 weeks. i hope your placenta doesn't cause you more stress than you need!
dory - isn't it funny was causes us to get overwhelmed and nervous, you'd think a trip to the vet would be nothing, but unfortunately for us, the 'normalest' (lol is that even a word) of things gets to us.
hi to everyone, and belly rubs to all, sorry this is such a short post, but i've barely had any me time in the last week, my ds got knocked about with hand, foot and mouth disease, he's been very clingy to me, added on top of trying to everything sorted in the house for the move. have been booked in, for later this week, i wont share the date, cause it takes my body a bit to get started with induction, and i'm usually a day or two more than the date i'm given, but i'll get sb to post for me, if she doesn't go into labour first, to let you girls know. feeling quite anxious cause we're at the time we lost dd, but we're nearly there, one foot in front of the other.
klee... to you- we just got passed the gestation we lost Zahra, its not an easy time xoxoxox I will be honoured to be your PIG (post it girl) I hope it all goes smoothly for you!! xoxo
Poor lil DS, sounds nasty- i hope he is all better in time to meet his lil brother!!
Laney.. i know what you mean about having to take a toddler to appts!! It is a huge hassel!! I forgot the pram one day too- and i was on my own- NOT FUN!!! Just keep using your doppler and do what you can do- and i guess just be reassured to know your not the only one who has had this little challange- i look at things in a funny way- and in a way i see it as a good thing now that i had the same problem and so did klee- coz it means you have some reassurance now, anything to help!! xoxox I hope Grayson had a fabulous day!
Dory... YUP i am huge and very uncomfy!! Getting loads of wriggles though and a few funny feeling headbutts to the cervix lol- its funny as much as some parts of the tail end of pregnancy are horrid (headaches, backaches feeling like a whale.....) some of it i really like- i like the way bits of her body push my belly out when she wriggles and how i swear i can feel her little fingers tickling me from the inside!! I saw the physio through the antenatal centre at the hospital and he has hooked me up with a pregnancy belt to help my pelvis and my back- it has made a huge difference!!
My biggest complaint at the moment is heart burn/reflux!!! I have tablets to take- but i left all my script/repeats at the chemist at Corryong and i have ran out and forgot to ask the mw at my appt for a script- so i am going to try to go to the chemist and see if they can get Corryong pharmacy to fax my script so i can get some- coz at the moment i am eating packets of rennies and i dont think its doing my tummy any good!! I also drink litres of milk- but i still end up waking up at night with really painful heartburn!! Oh and for some reason headaches have started- i dont usually get headaches at all- but the last few days i have had a throbbing headache- i am such a grump!!!! Not long to go now and i will have a whole new list of complaints lol.. no sleep, sore boobies, havent had a shower Ahhhhhh, sooon!!
I have been doing lots of baby stuff washing too- (and a bit of shopping- best and less were having a special so i went a little nuts with a laybuy!! Heehee) i have done all the blankets and wraps and sheets and all the tiny clothes, this week i will do the 000 stuff and hopefully this week we are getting some drawers finaly (fingers crossed DH isnt working this sat so we can actually go!!) I was going to wait til i got the drawers to wash the clothes, but it was takingt oo long for my liking- so they will have to go back in the box then we get the drawers i can put them right in!! Then all i need to organise is a new car seat for DS (or a new one for DD, still havent decided yet) and i think we are ready!!
Well time to go and play... take care everyone Hi to anyone i didnt mention sorry i got abit distracted by my complaints!! Sorry!!!
Klee - oh sweetie. You can do this! You are in my thoughts and prayers. One day at a time ......
I know what you mean about "normalest". I think if you want it to be a word, it can be!
I have to say I am very excited for you for LATER this week. You don't have to give us a date......some of us ( ie me) can do with learning some patience..... Good luck with the induction... I can't wait wait to hear from you "soon enough". And bugger about the foot and mouth.
Big hugs my love.
Starbright - I have to say the one thing I am not looking forward to is reflux! ..... I hope it passes soon enough.... the way you described baby moving and interacting with you just sounds so awesome. What have you decided with car seats? I find it simply bewildering.
klee, I can't wait to read your news. Not long to wait! I hope DS is feeling better by the time his little brother comes home. I hope your induction moves along faster for you this time around.
SB, Sounds like thigs are starting to happen for you too! If I remember your DS came a bit earlier than expected too. I hope you can find something to help with your reflux, I never did. I also get headaches while pregnant. I never get them when not pregnant. I have them now for a week on and off.
It does help a lot to know that you and klee didn't feel very much early. I try to stay awake for a little while after I get into bed....I keep hoping that i just might feel something.
dory, How are you doing? I hope your furbaby did okay.
AFM, Grayson's party went well. It was nice to celebrate with lots of family and friends. It was a bit too much for Grayson. He wanted to play with the big kids but kept getting hurt. He also started to bite the big kids to get attention Long day with no naps but fun.
My Mom and Gram were visiting for a few days. They just left and the house feels empty already. I hate living 5 hours away from family. They really helped me stay busy for the past few days. No real time to worry about my upcoming ultrasound.
Hi to everyone that I missed, I will try to catch up better later
Laney... Try laying on your side- that was where i felt the first movements- i found laying down putting Shane to bed i would feel movements- and i was always on my side- not sure if it was a co-incidence or not- but give it a go!
Yep- i am getting some good pains and heavy feelings- a little bit different to with Shane- with him it was all in the back- but this time they are all around the belly. Nothing to get to excited about- this went on for a few weeks with Shane- but nice to know things are starting! And yes- i tend to go early (well with Zahra my early labour was induced by an abruption- but i still reckon i went into labour!) and yeah Shane came two and a half weeks early. My sister is the opposite- she has gone over due every time with her kids and had to be induced twice! My body just goes- is it time- ok- get'em out!!
CONGRATULATIONS to Klee, DH, Phoebe + Joey on the safe arrival of
Baby Kristian 6 and a half pounds- he arrived after a seven hour labour during the night!
Klee will be in in the next few days with more details, like a middle name when they chose one!! And i am not sure when Jo will be meeting his brother due to being sick. So nice to have some good news to spread in here!
to you- we just got passed the gestation we lost Zahra, its not an easy time xoxoxox I will be honoured to be your PIG (post it girl) I hope it all goes smoothly for you!! xoxo
Ahhhhhh, sooon!! 
Long day with no naps but fun. 
to
Baby Kristian
