Did it all go well????? Have you booked your next appt?? We really should co-ordinate our days so we are in town the same day. I had to reschedual my last one for the 19th of April.. is that any good? Have you booked into the hospital yet? I still havent done that yet, i probably should have by now. Oooops!!

    katiegirl.... Wow your moving along quick!!!! I forget- are you going for inducement or waiting for spontanious labour???

    mummabec.... Im glad your feeling moments of being positive, good luck with clearing the room out!! My spare room is a huge mess of nappy boxes filled with baby clothes!! And other bits and peices!! We arnt sure what we will do with sleeping arrangements, we have a three bedroom house- but one of the bedrooms is on the other side of the house... so we have some thinking to do!!
    I hope Good Friday turns out to be a wonderful friday for you and your family xxoo

    Laney.... how are you feeling?? till a bit dizzy? i hope it settles for you soon.. lol unless its a good pregnancy sign for you - in which case i hope the dizzy-ness continues!!

    mummyof4.... I also agree that doubling is the most important thing when it comes to hcg levels.. all the best for your next test on monday!!!

    dory... How are you doing? Has your cerclage helped your confidence a bit? I think sometimes it makes you feel better to know your actively doing something to help things along!! I hope your recovering well!

    Ellie- How are you feeling? Not too long to go for you now!!!

    beata and berry... I hope your both enjoying your boys!!!

    AFM... I am doing good, lots of movement which is nice and comforting and lots of stuff to keep me busy!! We are off to canberra again this week for my cousins wedding and reception (being held on different days!! She is having a very small ceremony tuesday night then the reception sat afternoon) so i will get to catch up with mum and a few other relatives which will be fantastic!! My back is still killing me- but i am going to wait until we get back from canberra and then go see a massage lady- i cant wait!!

    Well my darling son woke up reallllyyyy early this morning (which he has been doing alot lately, how i miss bfeeds in the morning- they always got him back to sleep!!!) i dont know how we are going to go with day lights savings finishing!!! Its going to be fun! But i am a bit of a zombie today- so i think i will have a nap when he does- DH is working today as he is having the week off, so i will make use of the nice quiet house and rest i think!!

    Belly rubs to everyone!!!!
    xxoo SB

    Jlk, so glad that your appt. went well. your ticker is really moving along now.
    So sorry that your family didn't remember Finn's angel day.

    SB, sounds like you have been busy! You are making me tired just from reading everything you have been up to! Glad that you are feeling bub moving more.

    mummabec, you ticker moved right along! Not long now! The nursery is always a big and emotional job

    Mo4, I think your hcg levels sound okay. How did your follow up levels look?

    dory, so glad that you are recovering well. How often will you get your cervical length checked?

    klee, we are also thinking of selling our house. We do not have a playroom and toys are taking over the house. I think that will be a project for next spring. I am not brave enough to take that on while pregnant.

    AngelLukesmum, thanks for checking on me! I hope that you decide to jump back on the roller coaster soon!

    Ellie, did you have your 32 week scan? I hope you have been feeling better and that your placenta moved up nicely.

    Beata, I set a timer so I knew when to take my pain meds. You really need to stay on top of that. It is easy to take a long nap with bub and forget all about it. I hope that you don't really need them this week.

    AFM, still dizzy! I have been going for little walks and that has helped a bit. I think when I relax too much my BP goes too low. I see the doctor tomorrow so I will let him know what is going on. He probably wont let me have another scan for 2 or 3 weeks. He really tries hard to keep me from having one every week

    Ellie, sooo happy that your scan is over and everything is great!

    mo4, numbers sound great! when is your first scan?

    I just got home from seeing my OB. My MIL was supposed to watch Grayson for me but backed out last minute. Had to take him all by myself It was nap time and I had to wrestle with him the whole time I was there. Good thing everyone there is used to it so it is low BP making me dizzy. It was only 100/64 even with the wrestling match that went on for half an hour in the waiting room! I am also going to use some progesterone gel for a few weeks to help get rid of my cyst. I feel a bit better after seeing my OB. I do have to wait 3 weeks for my next scan

    Laney - I love your new signature! Awesome news on your scan and seeing your ob. I am "scheduled" to have my cervical length checked every 2 weeks, but that scheduling is flexible depending on how anxious I am feeling.... Glad you got a reason for your dizziness, that BP is quite low. You did well with Grayson, and if your ob is like mine, they wouldn't have minded. My ob absolutely adores babies - in utero, newborn, older bubs and toddlers. Sometimes in an appointment if he hears them in the waiting room, he just stops, smiles and says something like, "just listen to that". I remember one of my scans, can't remember which pregnancy, we were looking for the fetal heartbeat - I was as nervous as anything, and then when I heard it, I went numb. I looked at my ob, and it was so evident that what he was hearing was just the greatest sound in the world. Seeing him revel in that magical moment, really helped me relax and enjoy it. You can do a 3 week wait!

    M04 - awesome news on that HCG - I hope with those levels you feel just a little sick (but not too much)

    Mummabec - OMG - I am just so amazed. You must seem like you are so close but so far away. I am sending you all my strength.

    Ellie - good to hear that your scan and the trip to the big smoke went well.

    JLK - congrats on the confirmation of your little girl. Well done! And of course on the good news from your scan. I am sorry you're family hurt you by not remembering. Family are weird sometimes. I was thinking yesterday that I am not sure if anyone in my family has actually asked me to talk about what happened and how I felt with each of my babies. Well except my brother who has an acquired brain injury, so he asks the same things repeatedly. It's so sweet that he asks and so hard to keep answering the same questions without getting annoyed. The rest of the fam don't refer to my babies by name or at all. They don't remember special dates. But, my mum calls me almost every day now I am not working and am at home resting. I suppose I can't have everything, and I am happy for the calls. One day when I am feeling stronger I will ask why. The aunt of mine who made such a beautiful memorial for my fur baby? Seems to be so distant with me now, but in part that's my doing because I know I have shut her out because she naggs me incessantly and won't listen to my answers and only stops nagging when she hears what she wants. So my strategy ( very mature) is to avoid her or to lie. I hate doing either. I have told her in the past how her badgering makes me feel, and it hasn't really changed her behaviour, but limiting her opporunities to do so seems to have worked. I don't know what else to do. I suppose really we are all stuck with family and friends, who we feel, could do things differently to help us on our journey. I wonder what things I could do differently to help my family and friends? Hmm food for thought.

    Klee - amazing! I haven't moved in almost 10 years, and I never thought I would be in the one spot more than 12 months. I actually like it, perhaps its age? Or perhaps its just the accumulation of all sorts of memories within these 4 walls and surrounds? I know it became harder to contemplate a move after my darling furbaby died whilst we were away and my aunt set up a memorial garden for him in our back garden.

    Starbright - hope you got some sleep and your bubba has stopped getting up at sparrow fart! Hopefully all goes well with the switch from day light savings. Enjoy the wedding. It sounds just right to have the celebrations over 2 days - might be less draining for you as well.

    katiegirl - how are you doing?

    AFM - apart from having plenty of time to ponder complex questions of relationships, I am feeling much better and my appetite and bowel function has returned. All of which is awesome. DH is away for work at the mo. Just a short trip, but it will be hard for me. I am pretty much alone here at home during the day - all my friends work or have toddlers, so they don't come over ( and I suppose I don't invite them either) Maybe I can work on that? Anyway, so it also means being alone at night , well not really alone, I have the 3 furbabies, but no human company planned. Anyway, see what I mean about too much time? Take care.
