    cindee, I can't believe how high your BP is already! I thought that it was supposed to drop a bit in early pregnancy? Mine drops to 100/60 and pretty much stays that way until the last couple of weeks. I hope your doctors can get it under control.

    jlk, I still feel like I am dreaming when I look at Grayson. So happy for you.

    AngelLukesmum, I know exactly what you mean about the wait between scans. My wait is only a week and it is still hard. Bub does wiggle a lot so it helps a bit.

    baby Ricky is doing okay, lots of ups and downs. He has a couple of good days and then he will have a couple of not so good days. I feel like I am bothering them but I do check up on him every couple of days. I wish there was more that I could do to help them through such a tough time.

    dory, I get carpal tunnel while pregnant as well. It never gets really bad for me, just a bit annoying.

    Hi to everyone else!

    Not much going on here. I am starting to struggle a bit to keep up with Grayson, shopping, house cleaning, and doctor visits. We are having a very hot and humid summer and it is not being very kind to me. I know that I can get through these next 3 months with a smile!!
    DH and I might be moving my office this weekend to make room for bub. The office needs to be painted before we can start another baby room. It is exciting and scary to be thinking about a room already!

    Hi Ladies, It has become a bit quiet in here again!
    I had my 10th ultrasound yesterday and bub is still looking good. I am just now starting to relax a bit. I don't use the HB doppler much anymore. He kicks enough that I know he is okay.
    We did start the process of moving the office. It is not going to be easy to find a new home for all of the junk that has accumulated in there. At least it is started! I am getting excited about painting and buying more little blue things finally.

    Dory, I just saw your ticker! 35 Weeks!

    Laney _ I have been thinking of you ever since Sunday,knowing you had your scan coming up. I have been pretty busy or distracted as my mum was visiting and I had a few things on that just tired me out..... hence my abscence.

    So glad your scan went well AND you're thinking about and have started sorting out a new room for this little bubs... it does make a difference when bubs kicking and movements become more regular, takes some of the worry out.

    Cindee - that BP is high.... hope you feel ok. Is it that range before pregnancy?

    AFM - went to the Dr yesterday as I had a cluster of symptoms consistent with pre-eclampsia. My BP is slightly elevated so am having a protein test of my urine tomorrow with another check up. DH says my mum visiting is enough to give me the symptoms.... although I uncharacteristically had a headache and was cranky. Both very unusual for me. Bubs had also been a bit quieter and I think that might have contributed to my mood too. Sadly I now have cankles ( swollen ankles).... My Mum got to hear bubs heartbeat yesterday, but she didn't seem that excited. Maybe my expectation of her reaction was out? For me it's one of the best sounds ever....

    Has anyone used an epino before? it's a balloon thing that some people use to stretch the perenium in preparation for labour. I am not sure it's worth the expense -about $200 AUD, but wold be interested to hear what you thought of it.

    Take care....

    Dory, I hope everything is OK with your tests. It's really good that you're under such diligent observant eyes!! Don't worry about your mum not getting too excited hearing bub's HB. My mum was the same, and then after Cam was born she told me that she was STILL worried to the end that something would go wrong (w/o telling me of course as that would just freak me out!). When Cameron was born she was over the moon and back!!
    I'm sooooooooo excited about your ticker hun, 35 weeks!! Woo hoo!!!!!!! So so proud of you darling, not long to go now!!!

    Big hello to Laney, Jo, ButterflyForever and anyone else I missed. Glad that everyone is doing well!

    Lots of hugs
    B xxx.

    Beata - thanks! I think that might be the case.... all good with my BP today... still have some of the other symptoms though... mostly annoyingly a headache. Oh well. I am a lot more crampy since Tues, so I am hoping bubs stays inside for another 2 weeks, so I can make September..... Love the new photo of Cam.

    Could it be BH Dory????? Sometimes mine felt like period cramps. Fingers and toes crossed for bub to stay put for another 2 weeks at least. Hope your headache goes away soon hun, I get them all the time and sometimes I'm sooooo over it!!! xxxxx

    B - I am not too worried about them, I have had them for ages, just an increase in the crampiness but not regular enough and not really increasing in intensity or frequency.... I guess I was just feeling glum with all the unusual stuff buzzing around... headache gone this evening... I don't normally get headaches at all, so to have one is unusual. Hey - I just noticed your sig.... hilarious Me OMG 40.....
