JLK - get those troops at home into action with helping you out..... do up a roster from your command post. All hands on deck to help. I know that doesn't ease the anxiety though but what it might do is take away some of the responsibility you feel for maintaining the household. For me, apart from teh anxiety, that is one of the hard parts - feeling like the house is collapsing around me. It's not but it doesn't stop me feeling that way. The funny thing about anxiety is it is self perpetuating, once you start worrying it's really hard to stop and everything seems catastrophic.... not that I took my advice this past week, but try to hold on to some positives. Sending you lots of love and support. You'll get there.....
Laney - OMG - I have been so self absorped lately - look at you 19 weeks! Awesome. Glad you are getting movements - they do help. Do you have a bump?
Starbright - hope you make it too....6 July is not that far away at all. I know what you mean about trying to find a balance between the crazy woman and the labouring woman. That is something that I spend a lot of time contemplating. I try to repeat to myself, it's ok to be anxious and have things checked out. Having said that though I didn't go to the hossy on Sunday night... it was cold and I was tired and all up didn't feel I needed to go out. I was anxious but not enough to get me out of the house.... I suppose that in itself is an answer. I imagine the crazy loady is going to be visiting me a bit more from now on..... hope your pains go away and that you enjoy your Mum visiting.
AFM - feeling a little less anxious than I have been lately. Which is good. It's been a hard week for me actually. Bored, lonely, frustrated, anxious and scared. Oh well, to be expected really. As soon as I was less anxious I felt bubs moving a lot more.
Cmeggles - you're quiet - hope all is well. Thinking of you. 10+ weeks now. Go girl.
Beata - thanks - I am proud of me too. Didn't really imagine these sorts of numbers could apply to me. Nor that my bump could precede me everywhere I go..... not like little chicken is detachable! DH and I have been accepted into a trial/research program of baby PPP to see if it's of any use. Will be interesting. Will have to check with the Ob to see if I can attend the classes.... Sorry to hear Cam is unsettled.... hopefully it's just a little blip and he'll be back to his hapy content self soon. Amazing to think he's 13 weeks old now. Seems like just yesterday that you still had your bump attached.
Hi Ladies!
SB, anything yet?
jlk, I have been thinking of you.
I had my morpho scan today. Everything looked great!!!! Bub is measuring big by about a week! I see my high risk doctor tomorrow and get another scan. No more scan for 4 whole weeks and then we start our weekly scans and visits to the doctor! I don't know how I am going to deal with that. I see my doctor in 2 weeks.
blood work came back negative for genetic issues. Placenta problems can cause the blood work to come back positive so I feel a tiny bit better.
blood tests all came back normal and bub is a nice size ....but today at high risk ultrasound the tech told me that there are "some" soft markers. I had to get irate to even get that explanation for the repeated measurements. She was measuring the nuchal fold a bunch...i didn't see the exact size but looked like it was close to 7mm. Waiting for the doctor to call
Oh laney surely if the BT have all come back good thats a good sign???? Sorry to have to ask- but what does "soft markers" even mean???? I hope you get a reassuring phone call really soon xoxoxoxox
I am still here hanging on- i think this little one has decided she is quite happy to stay where she is... i am thinking i will make it to the 6th afterall!! Then again- for my life to go as planned is a pretty big thing that never happens- so- maybe the day before just to be difficult!!!
Mum is here helping out and she has been an absolute saint!!!! I got a sleep yesterday and i got to go to my dr appt without Shane and i did shopping ALL BY MYSELF!!!! Had a rough night with shane last night though between 3 and 6 he was very upset and crying- i am thinking he is sensing something is going on- last time mum was here for so long we moved- so i am thinking he is associating nanna with change- whcih he is right about this time!!!
Anyway- i just wanted to check in on laney- i am trying not to be a computer snob ,
Oh and JO- hang in there darl, i hope you get some releif this week
Laney - good news followed by news to make you anxious - what an emotional roller coaster ride. I hope your Dr called and the news has been reassuring. Thinking of you.....
Starbright - OMG - really not long to go, I mean almost down to being able to count on ONE hand! I am amazed you COULD do all of that by yourself. Go girl. Poor Shane, there is change in the wings and really the only way he'll start to understand it is when it happens. Hopefully Nanna can give him lots of cuddles too?
Hiya to everyone else. It's quiet in here, so that must mean we're all busy doing our own things. AFM I got a new toilet yesterday. A bit unexpected and not really what I thought might happen on the 1st anniversary of Amelia's EDD. Life sure can be strange. Belly rubs.

sorry ladies completely lost track of the thread and who is who, need to do some serious reading and try and keep up with your posts, will do personals next time I promise.
afm - had my scan, it was so cool Bub is measuring exactly to my dates, 8 weeks 1 day. Heartbeat 166bpm, seems to have implanted in the right place and not near my scar, phew! Got some nice pis and a cool 3d one of my womb with 'pip squeak' as bub is know, attached to it's yolk sack, floating around in it's new home. So relieved, next scan at 12 weeks.
