Sorry i have been MIA but we have been soooo busy lately. anyway i hope everyone is keeping well.
Teni- I was exactly the same with Riley, if i didn't have the scan results and a big belly i wouldn't have known i was pregnant! and with this one i'm so sick off and on all day and my BB are so sore, I really have a good feeling about it, although i do get scared sometimes and i know it's only going to get worse as the weeks roll by.
Hi Ladies, Sorry that I have been missing. I am having a hard time with the 4 week wait between ultrasounds. bub will be quiet for a day or two and it does my head in. He is back to his kicking like crazy self today. 4 more days until my weekly scans start
dory, great news that you don't have to deal with GD. AND LOOK AT THAT TICKER!!!!!! how are you feeling?
TeniBear, I hope this bubba kicks so much for you that you don't even feel the need for a kick chart! I started one with Grayson but he was so active all day that I didn't need to keep it up. I also so the doctor twice weekly for scans/nst's to check on him.
StarBright, so happy that everything is going well for you. How are you feeling after your c-section? That is one thing that has started to scare me. My c-section recovery was not very fun and I am not sure how to take care of Grayson and a newborn while in pain. I know that I will have help and that I have a long way to go before thinking about all that.
I am sure that our angels are watching over us
Laney - oh blossom you por girl, doing it so tough. Weekly scans both reassuring and anxiety provoking. Be strong.
You said Grayson was active in utero - is he active as a baby and toddler? Did he initially follow a similar routine on the outside? This bubs has bouts of inactivity which does my head in, as you know all too well, but then little fiipper gets some mojo back and is like an energiser bunny!
Look at you 23 weeks - that is awesome. I know it's not too reassuring for you, as I am not really that reassured by my own ticker advancing, although I am proud to have those numbers apply to me. I take nothing for granted. Apart from a little cold earlier in the week, I am feeling just great. I love my expanding belly. I love feeling bubs move. Was teary last night, but that's ok - even though nominally 9 weeks to go is such a short time compared to how far I have come, it still feels so far away. I also reaslied that ultimately, the buck will stop with me and just getting my head around that concept. Guess I was just feeling sorry for myself. I have a scan next week, at the same place and same date that our wee Nicholas came into the world far too early. Am hoping that we'll get through the day. I am not one to back away from fears, so have made myself embrace this one, for better or for worse. But I think I might be excited about the prospect of seeing bubs. We will be having our scans close together. Mine is Wednesday but I think yours could be Monday? Good luck.... I will be anxiously waiting for your results.
Are you certain of having a c section? Do you have any plans for Parker's angel versary this year? 3 years on... geez time flies but at the same time stands still.
Just wanted to pop in and say hi and let you know that we had our dating scan this morning and we have a little bean in there with a heartbeat! I am measuring 6w2d which makes me due 16 March but I will most likely go early with the stitch removal so closer to beginning of March. HB was 118 pm which they said was normal for gestation. I see my ob in 2 weeks to discuss the rest of the journey
Laney, sorry to read you are having a tough time atm. Hope once the regular scans begin it helps to make you feel a bit better.
Dory, you are so far along now - well done! Will your stitch come out for a VB or will you be having a c/s? I asked the u/s lady today to have a look for my stitch and she could see it still sitting in there. My ob couldn't get it out for delivery so just cut it and it looks like it has been making its way out of my cervix gradually for the last 15 months even though I can't feel it. Hopefully it won't impact on getting the new one!
Hi to everyone else and hope you all have a great weekend. We are going to tell our families the big news so it should be an exciting weekend for us. They will be SO shocked lol! x
Laney ... I am doing really well three weeks on- i did have my mum here for about a week though right after my csection, which was great as she did all the house work and taking loads of washing in and out etc, and alot of lifting shane. Then the house was a mess and pretty grotty for about a week til the weekend when DH gave it a good clean- then i was kind of lucky and my washing machine broke this week so i havent had to do any washing lol, BUT i have managed vacuuming- but not mopping. i am probbaly doing more than i should be, but you do what you have to do!! My biggest thing i noticed that hurt was when i was putting shane to bed- when he tried to get out of bed (the little good boy he is ) and i had to lift him up and lay him down again time aftert time after time, that wasnt good, but now i can do it no worries at all.
Speaking of my little boy- he wants to play- so i am off!!!
SB, I remember feeling okay after 2 weeks and great after 4. I think DH will be doing Grayson's bed time routine for a while after this bub is born. He is still in a crib and it is hard for me to get him into it now let alone with staples in my belly.
Glad that you are feeling so well already!
Jo, congrats on a great first scan! My mom and Gram share a birthday on March 16th. I very good day.
dory, Grayson was crazy in utero and he still is Of course he had to sleep once and a while but I would poke at him and he would wiggle again. The doctor actually agreed to do the c-section because Grayson was breech the week before the planned induction or c-section. He was doing so many flips in there he was never facing the same way when the doctor checked. It was rather painful the last couple of weeks.
He did not keep the same routine after he was born. When I was pregnant he was very active at night and I am very thankful that it did not stay that way.
Good luck with your scan next week!
Are you getting a room ready for bub yet?
We have not yet decided what to do for Parker's angel day. It is always so hard. Thank you for noticing Dory I unknowingly scheduled my ultrasound on the day that we found out that Parker no longer had a heart beat (at an ultrasound) I am a little bit worried about the extra stress that is going to add but there is nothing that can be done about it now. I refuse to move the ultrasound back...I need to see what is going on in there.
Are you doing anything extra to remember Nicholas on his angel day? I know it must be hard when your activity is restricted.

AngelLukesmum and laney thanks for remembering us, its nice to see some familiar people.. oh yes AngelLukesmum i did sort of bypass you last time having miss miranda 3 months early.. had her in feb09 and was due may 09... things seem ok so far been bit queasy, which is normal, not telling anyone yet thou may wait a long while....see how things go.. DH lost his father just recently so was a big blow to everyone..
hope everyone is going well. have to go lil miss is yelling out mumma.
Butterflyforever - AWESOME NEWS..... congratulations.... excellent news on your NT scan.
I had a scan yesterday and the cervix measured 50mm! OMG - I didn't expect it to get longer! Last measurement was 20 and before that 30, well the ones I remember anyway. I have no chance if I don't write it down...
8 more sleeps til my hospitalised fur baby can come home and rejoin our family.... cant wait for special pussy cat snuggles.
Belly rubs to all. Stay well and as positive as you can be.
Butterfly - the Obs was impressed today and he was similarly surprised. It seems laying around doing not a lot worked for me... oh and where possible a once a day soy chai latte. Maybe it's just a difference in the detail in the ultrasound equipment? Or maybe I am just a freak and it has gotten longer.
Wow Dory that is VERY impressive! Especially as from about 28 weeks my ob told me its pretty common to start shortening in preparation for labour. I never had any measurements done after 28 weeks with DD seeing as it had remained stable after I passed 24 weeks. Good work you!
Is your stitch permanent or will it come out for labour?
Butterfly - great news on the NT scan! And yes, your cervix measurement is great!
Cindee - how is Miranda going after her early arrival? Is there a chance this bub might make another early arrival?
Laney - congrats on a fantastic scan with bub the other day. Wonderful news.
AFM, nothing new to report. Still feeling sick and lost all my breakfast this morning down the sink ugh. Poor DH has been off work on long service leave spending quality time with DD and since I got sick and then pg, he has been doing everything around here including all the pooey nappies as I retch everytime I get a smell! He is back at work in just over a week so I am dreading having to take care of everything again! I am a lucky girl having such a great DH
AngelLukesmum - wow, your dh sounds amazing, lucky you. Hope you cope when he is back to work, the morning sickness shouldn't last too long, mine has just gone at about 12 weeks.
afm - people are starting to notice my belly now, as I am normally really slim (56kg), so it's obvious something is going on, although i am at that stage where people I haven't told daren't say anything in case I am just getting fat I kill myself laughing at the sly belly glances, you can see the cogs ticking
MS seems to have gone stopped eating like a horse, feel a little bit more normal again now.
Wish this cold would leave the building though, keep pulling my tummy muscles coughing, not to mention nearly wetting myself if I have a big coughing fit
After leaving you all with that lovely vision, I'm off.
