    Hi everyone!!

    KLee.... How are you going darl? Its been a big week for you with Phoebe's 3rd Birthday just gone Let us know if you need to talk about anything xoxox How are you going with movements? Feeling mroe now? When is your next dr's appt?

    Jude.... It will be a long wait to friday... hopefully mondays betas give you some good news to get you through!!

    Ellie... I have an anterier placenta, they said it is not too low- but if anything they are a little bit worried it may be close to my csection scar , but they are hopefull that it will move up- it seems to be the way they go! She said depending how ob scans go and what he thinks i may need another scan closer to deliver date (bugger ) just to check it has moved. You should be right- they will keep an eye on it for you!

    So yeah- as i said darn anterior placentas do your head in!! I am starting to feel some definate movements now- but they are still not as regular as i would like. Last night was good though- i was feelings lots of wriggles- i was even half expecting to "see" something moving as i could feel her right at the top of my belly!! But not quite yet!!

    Belly rubs to eveyone!!

    AngelicDragon - Thankyou so much for thinking of me and writing such lovely words. Cash however is MrsPilwrgrim's darling angel. I hope she find your words as encouraging as I did.

    My precious little ones, are -Amelia 21 weeks, 23 Feb 09, Nicholas, 14 weeks, 28 July 09 and Sophie 19 weeks, 30 August 09, oh and the wee little sprite July 08, 8 weeks.

    It's good news about your BFP! I hope it goes smoothly for you. Your experiences give me some hope. DH and I are both hoping that this is a sticky pg and we end up holding our little bundle of joy in another 31 weeks time. It will be a bit weird if we get to hold a surviving baby after this pregnancy rather than one who is just too frail to survive. Wonderful and a dream come true, but just not part of our experiences yet.

    I had almost no m/s for any of my previous pgs but have nausea quite intensely and most of the day for this pg. I think every pg is different, but for those of us with losses, we are hypervigilant for anything. That's not a bad thing, its just a reality. This current experience will always be compared to and analysed against our previous experiences, searching for any harbinger of doom. What else do we have?

    Good luck with your next scan. Fingers crossed for you. If you do have twins, your Dr will most likely recommend that you rest more as twin pgs are more physically demanding of mums to be.

    Laney - the queen of the scans. You go girl - whatever helped you get through.

    AFM - sounds dumb but I just realised the chain of events which lead to the most amazing yet heartbreaking experience of my life - the birth of my first born, started about now this time last year. I had been focusing so much on the actual anniversary day, 23 Feb - Tuesday, that I had forgotten about the events leading up to it. It's a bit sobering really. Despite the dire predicament I was in, I was really hoping for a different outcome, but it wasn't to be.

    I am still learning about everyone in here, so for the moment, know I am thinking of you, even if I haven't written a persie. Take care. One day closer.

    dory, the anniversary days can be so hard. Take extra care this week and do something special to remember your little one. I don't remember if you have said, have your doctors found any cause for your losses?

    StarBright, Just a couple more weeks and your belly will be moving all over the place. It sure does help calm the anxiety.

    Judy, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for your scan on Friday. I think they found Grayson's HB at 6 weeks.
    Yes, Grayson has been crawling for 3 weeks now. He doesn't need his mom nearly as much anymore. He only wants me when he is hungry, tired, or needs a new nappy

    AFM, not too much going on here. I am on day 18 of a 33 day cycle. I have no idea when I ovulate so DH and I are going to be really busy this week.

    Laney - thanks for asking. No reasons discovered yet for what the Ob now describes as extremely premature labours. The good news is after a raft of tests on me and some on DH, we know what isn't the problem. So in some ways that's good, but in some ways its hard because there is nothing to direct my energies on. I think in a way though it has contributed to my general acceptance of just taking the pg as it comes, rather than trying to control it, which I have learnt is fruitless anyway. It's not to say I just blithely accept what has happened. I have pursued lots of testing and asked many hard questions of the Obs treating me, and so far one formal second opinion, but all who I have seen all come to the same conclusion. For me, so far, there are no answers.

    Grayson crawling - wow you'll be so busy now. My GF's each had boys about two months apart, and whilst they are now a bit older than Grayson, when they started to crawl it was busy. It's amazing that they manage to find the smallest leaves on the deck to jam in their mouth! Or get into just crazy places. Hope you are managing the shift in his priorities. He still needs you, it's just in slightly different ways now. He's just expanding his repetoire! But its amazing isn't it? Those sleepless nights feel like forever, and then all of a sudden he's crawling and you wonder where the time went and where your little baby went? I remember that's what it was like when my niece and nephew lived with us when they were wee babes. Those wee babes each now have their own wee babes!

    Dory, I became good friends with a woman while sitting in my high risk ob's office. She had an issue with very early labors. They put her on progesterone injections and put in a cervical stitch. The progesterone injections really helped her get farther into each of her pregnancies.

    jlk, how is everything going and when is your next appt.? I think of you often.

    Dory, I will be thinking of you today and your precious baby. I will also light a candle today and place it in front of the angel I have to represent my angel son. I hope you are able to remember your baby in a peaceful and supported way, and that the day is not too painful for you.

    Hi to everyone and thanks for welcoming me back. It feels like dejavu to be here again.
