Ella - that is awesome news hun, that all is well with your little bubba! It is so reassuring to see them and make sure everything is OK, not to mention the fact that you did an awesome job staying positive over the weekend!
Way to go for Dennis, he really is a sweety isn't he!
Gigi - I am with you there, I think an 8 week ultrasouns would be a fantastic idea. It is still such an unknown period when things can be very worrying, and seeing them that little bit earlier would put alot of minds at ease!
The little beans can be such turkeys can't they! Naughty bubba stressing you out like that babe! This little one has been very very active all of yesterday and today, so that has been really lovely and reassuring!
I just got an email asking for a photo for my webpage as a Doula cause I have passed the first 2 modules, so I will let you know when it is up and running and you can have a look! hehehehe!
I have had a LOVELY morning! Going out for a cuppa and having wonderful company!
Will go and see how the builder is progressing!
Take care girls, and take care of the little bundles and bumps!
Oh Ella, I have just got myself back online after being away for the weekend! I am so relieved that you are OK! I also had a scare early on .. at about 8 weeks also. I really agree with you, Gigi about the early scan -- it is just so scary without one.
Don't feel bad about being concerned -- that is exactly how you should be! Now you can relax and enjoy. Congrats!
It's too hot in my study here to stay -- so from me also, have a great day! Will have to work someplace cooler .... now that I have finally made it home after a lovely morning coffee and wander! All days should be so wonderfully relaxed!
Ella - great news! These little ones like to test us don't they??? At least you can now relax a bit and enjoy your pregnancy, hopefully the m/s doesn't return.
Relle - have a wonderful day! Coffee and a chat, what better way to spend the day. How fantastic about your website, can't wait to see it. Well done on passing the 2 modules - you'll be helping deliver babies in no time.
Gigi - Dennis use to tell me to scull a cold glass of water if I hadn't felt the baby move, it certainly got them moving - must have really annoyed them!!!! Or I use to lay down and poke my belly, until they poked back LOL!!! Things we do.
Nox - it is still so stuffy today. Not bad outside though. Wish I had a lap top, I could sit under the tree and browse through BB!
Mel, that is a brilliant idea! I am not sure why I didn't think of that ... although my laptop is old so it's battery doesn't last long ... possibly if I did that though no work would get done! Well, let's be honest, for the whole week no work has gotten done! For some reason motivation has gone down since I've been pregnant! Maybe any excuse ...!LOL
Ooh - Mel - I like that idea too! I wonder if I can take my lappy out to the backyard and lie in the shade....Yes, I like the glass of cold water trick to get movement too. It usually seems to work but that little sucker was sleepy with a capital S on the weekend during the heat. kicking up a storm now while I type to you though!
relle - congratulations babe - that's awesome news. you are going to love it.
nox - there's no work really going on here either....LOL
work? what's that? i have been a TERRIBLE employee ever since i found out that i was pregnant... i try to concentrate and be productive, but i just get distracted so easily...
i'm feeling so much better about the whole pregnancy now that i've had the scan and have seen that everything is normal... my morning sickness hasn't returned and i'm enjoying feeling good!
i went to visit a friend in hospital last night (Royal Women's Hospital) who had a baby on sunday. OMG - i'm SO glad i have private health insurance now!! there were 3 women in her room, they have no privacy, they all have to go and line up in the hallway for their turn to use the communal toilet (which is shared by multiple rooms), and the ward is REALLY understaffed.. she had her baby early on Sunday morning, and the baby STILL hasn't been bathed!! the nursing staff have been too busy, and my friend is really immobile (she had an emergency C-section, and the wound is infected so she feels really rotten) so can't do it herself...
on a positive note, her baby is absolutley GORGEOUS!! i had forgotten how beautiful newborns are! she was so soft and snuggly!! i can't wait to meet mine now!! although it's still 7 months away - doh!!

Hi Girls!
It is so good to see everyone is doing so well and cooking their little bundles nicely! hehehehe
ohhh the time does fly doesn't it! I can't believe I am over half way already and only 19 weeks away from no 3......
Yep - it is definately unanimous - Cabrini is ace! Very hotel like and I must admit not even any other Private hospital I have seen lives up to the same standard especially the food! YUM
Gigi - thanks for the congrats hun - I am checking everyday and will let you know when the webpage is up and running!
9 weeks away! that is so close now! you are getting down to the pointy end of business! heheheheheh
Nox - good job on the cuppa and the paper, always a lovely way to start the day!
Well I have appt with FDC ladies on MOnday to have the boys in for either 1 or 2 days a week, so that will be less days I have to worry about getting on call childcare for when I have a delivery to go to!
Had better go, Cooper has just woken and wants to get up!
Hey there Relle -- was wanting to ask about the site ... how exciting that will be!
Gigi -- 9 weeks! That's so inconceivable! How wonderful!
Was talking with a friend the other day -- mother of 2 gorgeous boys -- and she was saying that she was fondly remembering how easy life was with just 1!!! Made me think because here I am thinking life will be chaos with 1!!! LOL That's why I decided to indulge while I could! (That and so many procrastination reasons, really)
Wonder Relle, if you will fondly remember life being so easy with just 2??!!! haha
Ella - so glad you are feeling better babe and that's great about your friend's healthy baby girl! They are sooo gorgeous aren't they? they make you so clucky - your 7 months will fly....I still can't believe I am only 9 weeks away - it's just gone so quickly!
I know what you mean re the private hossy thing - after my stay in Cabrini last time, it's like a hotel really and I saw a girlfriend a few months after in a public and it made me glad that I was private too. Even though HBA isn't participating with Cabrini and I will be slightly out of pocket - I don't care! Bring on that double bed....
Apparently in about 7 months I will be a qualified midwife - yikes!

Hey nox, no hun, it wasn't me about the cost. My serum test cost $100.10
I have been thinking about that you know! What will life be like????? I must admit going from 1 to 2 wasn't so much stressful in the "not knowing what you are doing sense of the word" but instead just really really busy. This time I think it will be chaos! (oh my) maybe all the more reason to have both the boys in care for 2 days a week, at least then the baby can have some 1 on 1 time with me!
OK Girls, I was talking to Kahmanya this morning about names and we have 2 options at the moment, let's see what you all think:
Carter Jett or Connor Jett???????
ETA: do you think it is bad that I already have the air con on! LOL

Hey Mel, yeah that are great with 2nd babies too - I had Cooper in the nursery every night for a time, but still couldn't sleep - even with sleeping tablets on board! I was too wired! LOL
The midwives I think are really really patient with the breastfeeding ass well, they really do take the time to help you establish it.
Yep - I have packed lots in, cause I am trying not to think about the mayhem that my life will become!hehehehehehehehe
Don't worry girls you will be the first to know when it is up and running, you all don't know how much your support and encouragement to become a Doula has meant to me! huge *mwahs* to all of you!
Yes Mel, it is WAY to hot to work ... I have been searching for prego pilates and yoga online ... I know this was discussed a while ago on the original ILOVEDENNIS thread ... trying to find one isn't exactly hard, but for some reason it is not easy for me! Who knows why!
Relle, I like both your names but have a soft spot for Conner. Are you guys theming with the 'C's? Jett is such a great name. I know another little lad with that name. Also thanks re the $$ of the test because mine was much the same and someone did tell me to question it ... is prego brain a real thing? Think I have it!!! LOL
Relle - i prefer Connor too (it's my bro's name, although he has the Irish spelling Conor).. although these days it's got very popular, so maybe that would lean me more towards Carter... they're both fantastic names!! i think there are so many good boys names around, but i don't seem to like too many girls ones...
Nox - i think i remember that the best pregnancy yoga place recommended to me was in East Melbourne (can't remember name, but will look up on google). i haven't actually been yet, but i've just given up my Thurs night sewing classes, so that gives me a night free to do yoga now...
Mel - when i went to see Cabrini a few weeks ago i wasn't that impressed (because everyone on here had described it as a hotel i had VERY high expectations), but after being to visit my friend last night i now think that Cabrini looks like a resort!! ha ha ha!! anyway, very glad to be going there, and also glad they have good food - i love my food!
Gigi - only 9 weeks to go - i'm jealous!! i have the longest to go in this thread!! hopefully we'll have another Dennis fan join us soon, so i can progress in the queue!!
Relle - I am with the other girls - I like Connor Jett best. Love it. I think they say that you always reminisce about life before the last one being easy - as in, before one, it's just you and DH and it's easy. Then you have one - and you remember how easy it was without one, then you have two and you remember how easy it was with one etc etc - not that we would give them back of course!!!
Nox - I went to preggo yoga in East St.Kilda - not sure where you are - but it was really good. Not too full on - a real hippie of a teacher! LOL...
Ella - I think you will love Cabrini when you are in there. I have been to several other maternity hossies to see friends and it is the nicest I have been to. and yes, the food was great last time - you even get to order wine with dinner!!!
Yes, I am definitely at the pointy end of business now - 9 weeks and counting! Lots of movement from the alien still and regular BH contractions too. Can't wait to feel that familiar beginning of a real contraction (touch wood to go into natural labour again!). Have pretty well packed up my hossie bag too now - just have to buy my fave breast pads at BIG W (much cheaper....) and I will be ready to go!
It is still hot today isn't it! I found the weekend soooo hard.....
Relle - I will throw a spanner in the works by saying I like the name Carter, its a bit more unusual than Connor. Was having "CJ" names something you decided before kids or after? My old boss had 3 boys all with J names and he and his wife had J names too! Very confusing!!!
Ros - I can't imagine how hectic life must be with 3 kids. Relle will be able to tell us soon enough. Then I will decide if I can handle another one LOL!!!! You guys can be my test guinea pigs!!!!
Nox - are you getting any work done today? I feel so unmotivated today and I'm not working LOL!!! Glad Chelsea is at kinder, makes the house a little bit quieter.
Another hot day! Can't wait for the weekend when it is supposed to be cooler. I don't envy you pregnant ladies with this heat. Stay cool everyone.
