Samcougar - awesome news on your bundle of pink! And measuring spot on for your dates..... I am so pleased for you.
Hi all - I was hoping to catch up a little, but have realised I can't. Too funny. Life has really changed for me with the arrival of wee Hannanh on 22 Sept. She sleeps like a champion during the day but not at night, and I on the otherhand am much better at sleeping at night but not so much during the day now... where has my pregnancy ability to sleep for 4 hours during the day gone? In reality, apart from trying to catch some zzz's when I can we are going really well. DH is has just been amazing. I adore her most of the time, but at others am just perplexed by my inability to be able to meet her needs.... specifically to work out why she is unsettled and to settle her. I might try and change my ticiker, but I am really not very technologically minded. Thinking of you all and hoping to catch up more consistently soon.
Dory, welcome back hun dont worry too much about not being able to work some of these things out, its early days for you both where you are still getting to know each other, for now just enjoy her being here. there were times in 1st few weeks with Tehya that i was very unsure about some things & I had done it all before, anytime you need a chat about it all I'm here, xoxox
JLK - thanks sweetie. Newborns are just such a mystery! I had heard it doesn't really get any easier to decipher their cryptic messages if you've had one before as they are all different. Wind or Hunger... just feed and see, if they aren't bviously windy by bringing their legs up to their tummy. How do you manage with 4 others in the house & a DH? I just realised Teyha's fingers look really long in her phhto. Too cute. Hannah has long fingers too - certainly didn't get that from me - I have short little sausage fingers.
Beata - awesome news... about your eggies and not getting to China til November...a bit more time here. I can't wait for you to be in here!!! Yay! I reckon not long to go.
Laney - how are you going?
Bec - good news on your pink bundle. Go the girls! ( but not to worry Beata I adore Cam even if he's a blue bundle )
Mo4 - hugs for your angel versary. Hope you coped ok and did something special, even if it was just a few moments quiet time to reflect. To remember and honour them is enough.
Hello to everyone else, hpe you're going well. Sorry in a daze at the mo.
Laney - how are you doing? Haven't heard from you in a while but then again we have all been pretty quiet!
Dory, I hope you are enjoying those newborn cuddles and all is going well. Are you recovering okay from your c/s?
I had my morph scan this morning which went well. It was a bit earlier than planned as I had some brown discharge this morning which FREAKED me out so I rescheduled the appt and got some reassurance. Not sure why the discharge is brown but my cervix is behaving itself at the moment -nice and long over 4cm and closed up tight. The stitch is sitting perfectly too. Bubs is growing well and the songrapher was pretty happy with everything but has made a note for the heart to be double checked again in 2 weeks when I go back for another cervix check just because its still pretty small at this gestation. She could see 4 chambers but just wants the blood flow checked again. So all in all, good news for now. I just wish this brown colour would go away cause it is stressing me a bit
Jo, yay for a great scan hun!! Awesome news. Hun, don't worry about the brown discharge, as you know it's old blood so I wouldn't worry about it. I had a brown discharge around the 13 week mark with Cam and totally freaked out, but the OB said it was most likely a small vessel that popped and nothing to worry about. Sure enough, 2 days later it was gone. Luckily I was due for a visit anyway, so he had a lookie and everything was fine in there. Great news about your nice long cervix hun, at the end of the day bub and cervix is behaving so that's all that counts! Big hugs and I'm sure the discharge will go away soon
jo, congrats on a great scan! I have had brown/pink discharge with every pregnancy (except this one). With Grayson I had it on and off until 35 weeks. I can only imagine how nervous it makes you.
Ellie, if you are still reading I would love to hear how everything is going!
I have been doing okay. I am chugging along. I am starting to have visits from the crazy lady again. I think it is because we are unpacking/washing baby stuff. I can't stop thinking that we wont have a bub to bring home to use it all I am just trying to stay positive. Bub is doing well right now and the weekly scans are helping me to relax a tiny bit.
hi girls ive been mia for a awhile its lovely to see that everyone is doing well, we had our big scan this week and everything looks good execpt small placenta but they are watching me and my lil man very carefully.. love to all
Oh Jo, big hugs sweetie I get really upset when people comment that there is only one grandchild for my mum. There are two! I hate is so much when people forget about Joshua, it really cuts me up. GL for your scan on Thursday hun, and I hope all goes well for you. Sending your cervix a wee message....stay nice and long!!
cindee, I was getting ready to pm you. I am glad that your ultrasound went well. How is your blood pressure doing?
beata, how is everything going with Cam?
jo, I don't think I could not find out if DH knew the sex! I also like to bargain shop and that is a bit harder to do if you don't know the sex. My c-section isn't until the 10th!!!! I had Grayson at 37 weeks and 4 days. This time, since I am supposed to be more relaxed, they decided to make me wait it out
I am sending massive hugs your way. Milestones and angel days are hard. It makes it even harder when you feel so alone remembering your angel.
Do you have someone helping you around the house for the next couple of weeks so you can rest a bit?
dont worry too much about not being able to work some of these things out, its early days for you both where you are still getting to know each other, for now just enjoy her being here. there were times in 1st few weeks with Tehya that i was very unsure about some things & I had done it all before, anytime you need a chat about it all I'm here, xoxox
