    Morning all,

    Jennajayen - So glad your u/s went well.

    BF - So sorry about your c/s scar, How many c/s's have you had? This will be my 4th, and TBH no one has mentioned anything about my c/s scar, they havent even looked at it. Was it your ob that checked it or was it by u/s? Take it easy hun. hugs

    Crumpet - So glad all is going well with you, and yay for being still under your pre preg weight. Double yay for 26wks hitting you soon. hugs

    Beema - Ohh hun, what a day you had yesterday. Its so wonderful that you made it past Little N's date, yet it definately doesnt seem as though they are going to let you go much further. Its so great your almost at 35wks, you should be so proud of yourself. Im hoping all is ok with your BT results etc when you find out on Tuesday, so GL today with it all. Soon little Flicker will be safe and sound in your arms. Look after yourself hun. hugs

    AFM - Well have had a few not so good BSL readings, but apart from those ones I think I am doing pretty well with the GD. I am over all the hospital appts, but they are doing really well keeping an eye on things, so as long as it helps bub I dont mind. Have my u/s and OB appt at the hospital on Tuesday, so I am really hoping bub is within the normal ranges and the BPD is too. I dont know but I just dont look forward to the u/s's, I seem to hold my breathe at everyone until I have some good news. Is anyone else feeling that way? Ohh and my thyroid meds have been bumped up to double one day a week, and the rest of the week remains unchanged, to try and get it back within normal ranges. Ohh and 26wks today for me, yet could possibly have bubs in another 12wks not 14wks time so time is definately flying, I am sooo not ready.

    Thanks Crumpet

    It is looking that we might have reached our limit, a number of the tests I had done today were tesing my liver and kidney function, checking for infection and a few other things, so the decisions that are made on Tuesday are going to be looking at babies and my own health and she will determine then whether we can continue for a bit longer or not. Either way I am happy with what we have achieved, I am doing a few things for me, aside from finalising some work over the weekend and writing a CS Birth plan and also a plan of attack for breast feeding after delivery.

    Ooohh nearly fortnightly appointments, you are just doing fabulously I'm so proud and happy for you, every day is a new experience

    Csab ~ Thanks hun, we have achieved so much more than we expected and I know I have done everything I can to keep Flicker baking as long as possible and we have come a hell of a long way and every day has made a difference and what ever we have left whether it be days or a week or two I am happy with what ever the plan of attack is.

    I am glad they are keeping a close eye on you, but all the appointments can get very exhausting, wishing you all the best for Tuesday, it's going to be a big day for the both of us, I am hoping that your bubs BPD is looking great

    Hope everyone else is doing well
    xxoo

    ill be keeping my fingers crossed for some outstanding test results hun!!
    but good idea to make sure u have ur birth plans sorted just incase and u know, even if u have flicker next week ur a SUPERSTAR MUMMY!!!!
    ive said it before but u inspire me to get as far as i can with as little issues as possible, and have given me the confidence to think i can get to term, so big thank you hun!!

    thank you, its just amazing to think of where we are at, im still stunned to be honest!!

    my best friend had a baby girl on thursday and we went in and took pizzas for dinner last night, and it was great for DH and i to spend so much time with a newborn, ive realised i think i was expecting a baby the size of a 3 month old to be coming out!!
    i changed molly's nappy and wow newbies are a lot smaller than i thought they were, and then i fed her and i was like a stunned mullet!!!
    so i guess its fair to say im a bit nervous now!!even though i know the middies will be able to help us a lot, i didnt think id be to bad. but i think ill be asking for a lot more help than i realised.

    was a good eye opener for both DH and I..... dont know who is more terrified!
