I just wanted to say a quick hello - I have been MIA too. Combination of being busy ( well busy for me), coming down with a cold ( tired) and feeling like this is all just too hard and there is just too long to go ( overhwhelmed and frustrated). Thankfully I am over my "hump", getting over my cold, and looking forward to a rest. I look like kung fu panda today - really really dark rings under my eyes. I never got them until last year.... strange how this journey can change you.
It's been so nice to visit and hear all the good news.
Laney - AWESOME!!! I am soo soo happy for youm your DH, Grayson, your new bundle of joy and your angels. Glad you can feel some movements.
M04 - awesome for you to feel some little movements and to see bubs on u/s squirming about. Don't feel pressure to get your stuff together - this journey is hard enough without putting pressure on yourself uneccessarily. When you get on here is just fine.
Cmegelles - it's amazing how time flies and at the same time stands still! 10 weeks is awesome. It won't be that long and it will be the 28th!
Butterfly - how are you doing? Keeping those fears and anxieties to a manageable level?
Klee - it's been so good to hear from you.... when I finish this post I am going to read your ba....I am excited with anticipation. But knowing the end result is Kristian, makes it just so much better. Hope you are all faring well.
JLK - you've been quiet - all ok?
Charli - Know that I am thinking of you and sending you my love.
Beata - I am such a dunce.... serves me right for stalking so many threads because then i forget from time to time which thread people are in. I was asking after you in another thread. I think I need to do myself a list. It seems to be happening more often. Pregnesia? I am glad to hear that things really are going well. A bit up and down, and it would be much easier if Cameron was settled. Hoping its just a cold. Must be awful to have one at his age... take care of yourselves.
Starbright - oh oh I am sooooooooooo excited. I hope not the 18th too, just because as you said, it would be too much.
AFM - well I had the first of 2 steroid injections today to expedite baby's lung development, so that bubs has better prospects, if bubs decides to make an early entrance. It hurt more than I thought and it felt oddly rude exposing my butt/hips/thigh to the Ob instead of my front! LOL, there are always surprises in this journey. Next one tomorrow. I know it's no where near a guarantee, to either get to this gestation or to have the injections, but at least I am doing everything I can to give bubs the best chance, and that is all I can do.
Both of the fur baby's teeth extractions went well. #2 was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, so thankgod I took him in sooner than I'd expected for his teeth. He's is now on twice daily tablets ( now that's a lot of fun, but at least he doesn't scratch or bite) until 3rd July when he has another check up just to make sure the hyperthyroidism ( over active thyroid) is not masking any other diseases, and then no tablets for 2 weeks, and then he goes in for his treatment. He will be gone 3 weeks for his treatment! Argh! But I have been preparing myself for the separation and he'll be in good hands. After the first week DH and I can visit him. If I wasn't pregnant and he was an outdoor cat, he could come home after the first week, but it's just safer to board him for the extra 2 weeks. It's a bit of a race against time, but he will be home again about 7 weeks before bubs is due, so here's hoping all goes to plan. Stay snuggly little chicken!
