Back again...it's not a preg post just a little anecdote I thought of after reading Smithy's last post...The difference between the gen X, gen y thing was never so apparent as a few years back when my environmental trainees used to text me "lol" in their messages all the time. I thought it stood for "lots of love" and I thought it was so sweet that they ended most of their texts that way! What a dork hey? well they were like daughters to me so it wasn't a huge stretch, instead they said things like "you're da bombiest" (and that's the highest compliment). Oh dear, how to make a girl feel old!
I just wanted to stop by and say Hi and to let you know that I still think of you all often. I don't get a lot of time to stop by Belly Belly at the moment, Asher is lovely and we're having such a great time together. Let me tell you...it will melt your heart the day they lock their tiny eyes on you and fix you with a stare that seems to look right into your soul and then they smile at you for the first time because they know who you are. It still brings tears of joy to my eyes just thinking about it. I'm so happy that you all have that to look forward to.
Wishing you all the very best and enjoy your baby belly - I miss mine so much.
Nic, we must be on the same page today.
I was also thinking of the growing bellies in this thread and like you don't get much of a chance to post.
As Nic said enjoy your bumps ladies as I too have been missing mine this week although to have Aaron here on the outside brings me more and more joy each day.
Bella - LOVE the ticker! finally! i need the tickers to remind me how far everyone is. there's so many of us i keep mixing it all up! (bloody preggo brain).
murph most excellent news about jasmine making her presence known! that is so super duper excitng. i hope we aren't far off!
saph good numbers! see told you the time would fly. when you count in weeks and yoru weeks are busy, they just sort of overtake you... plus i find it helpful to say "oh i'm nearly 17 weeks'' when i'm 16 weeks and a few days cos i figure i may as well round up and its only a couple of days! lol.
smithy i really really feel for you. i wasn't as bad as bg and MHB but 3 full on months of morning sickness just wears you down after awhile. it's a crazy doube-edged sword - if you feel sick that means lots of hormones from bub; if you don't feel sick you worry something has gone wrong. i think someone mentioned the morning sick vitamins - i found them wonderful but here's a tip DON'T whatever you do think "oh, i haven't been as nauseou/unwell today, maybe it's gone and i'll stop those ginger pills". WRONG!! you just feel 10 times worse than you normally do the next day. heehee
hi kaydee - how are you feeling this week? that's excellent news about your scan. grow babies!
hi murph - what a super effort in listing everyone! i don't have the stamina and apologies for anyone i've missed. I"ve just skimmed the surface mainly cos i'm dead tired and about to have a rest.
Not much to report on this end... yep we have got all our nursery items!! i know it's early but it's sale time. the nursery is not fully set up but the cot, drawers, bookshelf are in place
no shopping til July 26 - that's when we find out if its pink or blue! have really truly popped as well. normal shirts just don't cut it anymore so am in maternity clothes completely now from here.
must go sleep...
hi to farmgirl, nixon, neptune, jen, kahlan, azz, greenslw, 2mums, miss mapgie, kelly, bdt and i'm sure i've missed a few people.
Hi girls. sorry for the selfish post but I am in a little bit of a pickle.
I am now over 39 weeks and still no sign of bub wanting out. Went and saw my OB today who said that because my baby was conceived through IVF he is keen for me to go into induction next Monday (birth on Tuesday which is my EDD). As it is IVF the EDD is a given and he doesn't want to risk the baby having trouble in my belly. However, he is happy to wait a week if that is what I want. I am so confused I don't know what to think. Any advice from you lovely ladies would be appreciated.
