SB - I should be used to my stupid family by now I had my OB appointment and everything went well, got another look at her (OB confirmed that it is definatly a girl). My next appointment is 23rd april.
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
Hi Everyone
Just got home from the trip to the big smoke for the scan...all is great
Placenta moved up and got to watch bub in 3D which was awesome. Feeling so much better!
Be back tomorrow to catch up.
Ex
sorry just a quick me post to let you all know how i went today!
My levels were 167 on friday and now today they were 701!!! so everything is going great and i am feeling pretty good about it all now!
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.
oh my god! where does it say Berry had her bub?! I think I have missed it... or i've seen it and it's completely been blown out of my mummy mind (it's not too flash these days... ) I'll have to go hunting.
Laney, quietly stalking you lovey. You're very inspirational, and might I say very calm looking from this angle XD Your little baked bean seems to be chugging away nicely in there with it's nice little hb. Gotta love low blood pressure huh? I've inherited that off my mum (although better than my dads high blood pressure) and there were a few dizzy moments for me early on but towards the end it seemed to even itself out.
Jackson's really getting into a routine now, we cruise along quite well together, he giggles at me now. I well up every time he does it, it's gorgeous. SAP MUCH?! The last few days I have been starting to think how I'd love another (not right away of course, but you know how the first few weeks are hard, and you think "crap, i'm never doing this again, one is enough!" (well that's what I thought anyway) Well that shock factor, its gone now that i've come out of it alive at the other end haha) But I'm not looking forward to the worry again, and the impact of that hit me when I watched a friend of the family take a small swig of wine, who is 12 weeks pregnant with her 2nd. It's made me feel a little teary the last couple of days and I really wish I'd had one shot of having a pregnancy were I could just be elated and excited and slightly careless all at once because I am ignorant to the fact that nothing could possibly happen to my baby. But then I wouldn't have my little Jackson. You all know what I mean
Sorry to bring the thread down, girls. Woe is me!!

Just wanted to say a big Welcome to the world to Cameron, congratulations Beata. How amazing that our boys have the same birthday. You and I have been through so much around the same time. Your little guy was quite little, my boy was 8 pound 9 oz and 53cm. I hope you are doing really well.
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes, I haven't even had time to update my ticker, which I will do soon.
Laney great to see your new ticker, so excited for you.
Hi Teagz, yes bubby is here, I hijacked Beatas day!
Hi all, we are having a ball- we are still in canberra cleebrating the wedding week- well actually technically i am now in Sussex Inlet- my cousin and her husband got their wedding rings tattooed today!! So we have come here for the night- back to canberra tomorrow meeting up wuth mum and some other family for dinner tomorrow night then the reception on saturday then back home!! DS has been great- we have had a few later nights- whcih have thankfully resulted in some nice 8am wake ups!! Thank goodness!!!
I wont really get a chance for personals til i get home- i am pretty ready for bed right now lol but i wanted to pop in and wish mummabec good luck for tomorrow if things were still on the go ahead for then! KLee are you going to keep us posted??
And just quickly too mummyof4 on your great numbers!!
Bec, good luck for tomorrow. So happy that your pregnancy worry is going to be over. Now you will just have to spend every second worried about your bub, for the next 20 years
SB, sounds like you are having a blast! I think that I might need a few days away too.
Berry, congratulations again! You did have a big guy!
Teagz, I missed being pregnant as soon as Grayson was born. After a couple of months I was ready to think about TTC again. It was a bit strange because DH and I decided early on that my pregnancy with Grayson was our last. I think the desire for another child overtakes the worry at some point.
dory, sounds like you have a lovely doctor. The first thing out my my doctors mouth when Grayson was acting up was "it doesn't bother me, I hear it all day long" My doctor is great too I feel like we have been through a lot together. I feel comfortable in his office and I know that he knows my history without having to read my chart. He also tells me "whatever you need to feel more comfortable". I can ask for extra scans, office visits, just about anything and I get it. What more can a girl ask for
AFM, we decided to tell our close family and friends about this pregnancy. Well, I wasn't going to tell my mother right away because she has a big mouth but she called me on my way home from my doctor appt. She then asked me why I was there on Friday and Monday... My mother really doesn't understand why pregnancy is such a stressful time for us. My high risk OB got very upset with her early on in my pregnancy with Grayson. He actually said something to her about being insensitive and made her cry. I think that she just isn't good with emotional situations.
Introducing Arabella! Born 2 April at 3:46am before her scheduled induction. 3kg and 46cm long.
It's been a very emotional time and I neeeeed sleep but Arabella is adorable. We came home this morning and I'm looking forward to a sleep in my own bed.
xx Bec.
