jo, I have been thinking of you. I am glad that you have some time off of work. Try hard to rest hun. I know how difficult that can be with a toddler. My placenta is in front this time as well. I didn't feel movements until 20 weeks and they were not regular until 24 weeks or so. When do you go back for another measurement? Are you going to find out the sex?
dory, how is everything going?
I had my ultrasound and appt on Monday. Bub is growing well and my cervix is nice and closed. I haven't been able to get onto the computer much because I just switched my blood thinners and the new injections are making me very dizzy and sick It is slowly getting easier to function. I have to stay on these blood thinners because they are out of my system faster just in case things start to happen before my c-section. Other than feeling crap I am doing pretty well. I still have that crazy lady fear that bub will not have a heart beat everytime I wake up He is pretty active most of the time so I am able to relax a bit.
So good to hear from you Laney! I was wondering if maybe you had gone early and that was why we hadnt heard from you. Mustn't be long now though hey? Those blood thinners sound horrible
Dory - so great to see you still popping in. Hannah sounds like a very clever little monkey with that multi-tasking
I have another u/s this Thursday so am nervously awaiting that... I will be 21 weeks tomorrow which is a little scary, hitting the week that I was when we lost Luke but I'm just trying to stay positive. We did it okay with Kaitlyn (despite the 3 week hospital stay) so it CAN be done...thats what I keep telling myself anyway.
I haven't found out what we are having but my DH has. Lots of people are amazed that I am okay with that but it was really important for him to know so I don't mind him knowing and me not. He is extremely tightlipped about everything so I know that nobody will be hearing anything from him otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to it Secretly I think I know from what I have seen on the u/s but I haven't had it confirmed so will keep it to myself for now.
Had a bit of a low moment last night - a bit emotional approaching Lukes 3rd birthday and the whole 21 weeks pregnant thing. My brother and SIL are expecting their 2nd bub 2 weeks after us (they had their 1st 2 weeks after us with Kaitlyn too!) and found out yesterday they are having a boy. I am thrilled for them but got a bit sad when some comments on facebook from friends were along the lines of "finally a boy for the family" etc. Just made me sad as the family already has a boy, he just happens to not be here with us
Anyway, my downer moment for the evening but am feeling okay today. Hope everyone is well.
