    Hi fellow mummies in waiting.

    Smithy: Hope that you are feeling better and can manage to keep your fluids up.

    grub17: Yeah for your little bundle of blue. Have a blast buying outfits, what a special time. Enjoy!!!

    Me+Him+Bub: My goodness what a prediction. I hope that it turns out to be like my scan. I had one in week 30 as I was looking large and the dr came in after the scan and told me, " I hope that you haven't bought too many 000's, you have one large baby there!" I wasn't sure what she meant by large as she didn't explain. So next ob visit he explained that bubs was on 98% percentile and will be way over 10 pound if went full term. Had a c section and ob couldn't believe it, bubs was 7lb 6oz.. His first words were," well that scan was surely wrong, it's a Collingwood 10 pounder." I had no 0000 for him as I was expecting a large bubby. So he was swimming in 000's until we went home. Sorry for long story.

    BDT: Hope that MS is getting better.

    JenC: Those 4D scans sound great, I haven't seen one before. I can't wait for my first scan. Seeing that heart beat for teh 1st time is so emotional.

    Lani: Hello I am in early stages still, 5 1/2 weeks but keeping fingers crossed. You sound as tho you are having a good preg, hope the rest goes as smoothly for you.

    Greenslw: How is it now that someone else knows? Good luck with your chat.

    Azzrenae: Hope the fluid levels work themselves out. Best wishes for friday.

    Kaydee: I am sure it was a relief to have no high protein levels.

    KellyD: Hope your bloods went well.

    AFM: Well my breasts are soooo sore. This is a good sign but gee it hurts. It reminds me that groover is doing some growing and that's a nice feeling.


    To everyone else hope things are going smoothly. I'm off to bed.

    grub - YAY! another little boy! its nice to be able to go out and buy blue

    babydreams - Your story was a good insight for me, im not worried at all, if he is big he is big, il just get a mixture of clothes sizes i guess! the thing is i dont feel like he is that huge inside me if i lie on my back i dont look pregnant at all! although now i know why i need to pee every 10 minutes!

    murph - i forgot to say you are so sweet! being proud of me! i was touched your a gem!

    to the other ladies with MS i feel soooo sorry for you i know how awful it is i vomited yesterday morning and am very close to doing it right now and its the WORST!!! but remember even if it lasts the whole time like me it will be over in ONLY 9 months!

    AFM- I WANT TO SEE MY BABY NOW!!!! for the first time in this pregnancy i can say i am excited! although now im fearing stillbirth i dont know why it just keeps popping up around me through stories and cases at uni and im a bit scared, but I feel things should be ok. At the scan yesterday my DF asked the scan lady "is he breathing" and she said um they dont breathe in the womb! haha i said he means is it alive! poor little worried dumb DF.

    Hi Everyone

    Grub: Congrats on your Blue bundle. I think my little girl and Murph's Jazzy are going to be lonely in here for some time....

    MHB: Well it certainly seems you have a big one in there, hopefully that means he will be a big strong boy when he does come out.

    AFM: Well I was informed incorrectly about the GD test, I had to have the drink although I only had to do the hour test. The drink that I has was like a Carbonated Lime drink and just a bit sweeter than normal so was o.k to get down. The only trouble I had was drinking it all in 5 minutes. So had to sit a pathology for an hour for the glucose to get into my system (how boring) and baby was kicking up a storm the whole time from the sugar hit. When the time came for me to then have my bloods done, no vein to be found. They were poking and prodding and after the 3rd attempt got a small vein and as they were drawing the blood good old me decided to "Faint". When I came around I had about 4 pathology nurses all fussing and they made me lay down for about 15 minutes and call DH to come get me. Luckily DH works across the road from the Pathology so he was there in no time. I think the fainting was from a combination of things though, 1. is that the baby moved from tranverse to head down that morning which was quite uncomfortable 2. I didn't get great sleep the night before as for the past 2 nights she has decided what fun to have her own dance party for over 2 hours both times 3. Glucose overload and 4. Stabbing me numerous times to get the blood.

    Luckily for me they said that they managed to draw enough blood for the tests to be run and I wouldn't have to go back for them to get some more but will just need to let my OB know what happened so he can make sure nothing else was wrong. At least baby was fine as she has been back to her normal kicking & punching routine.

    Anyway, after that drama I ventured to the Target Toy Sale and got some good bargains on Nursery Toys which I have put on Layby for Christmas. I probably could have got them straight away but it is all about trying to find room for them, but at least she will have some presents from Santa under the Xmas Tree this year.

    I'm sorry such I long me post, just wanted to fill you all in... Oh, at least one positive thing.... We have hit the 3rd Trimester today, bizarre to think that in 10 weeks time we will be classified as Full Term and that our little girl will be here somewhere in the next 10-13 weeks.

    Just remembered, one more thing... For all you girls worried about how big you are... Everytime I now go into a shop I always get asked "When are you due?" and when I say end of October, people look shocked and then the next question... "Are you having 1 or 2?" When I say only 1, the response has been... "You must have one big one in there" or "I thought you were going to say you were due in the next few weeks". Just goes to show, I have only put on 6kg in total so far and it is not my fault if bubs wants to be all out in front as from the back you still can't tell that I'm pregnant.
