    Afternoon girls - how exciting a bub!!!

    BOC - great news about the blood test - I'm sure you will have a great weekend.

    AFM - I was thinking it was great that I hadn't felt sick (this was morning) at all - well wasn't I put back in my place - have been venturing to the toilet all afternoon and feel like c..p.

    Anyway, rest is the key I guess. Am starting to feel like it is getting more real now - have my first scan on Monday morning

    Hope everyone has a good weekend.

    Farmgirl: I also commented in the BA, but congrats on the arrival of Archer. A little ear;y then expected, but at least he made it safe and sound.

    BOC: Welcome. If you thought your TWW was stressful just wait for all your nerves to kick in. It is good that we have lots of newbies in here for you to compare notes with. I think some of us old timers are starting to get a bit of "Baby Brain" and find it hard to remember the early stage symptoms.... I know I do...

    Greenslw: Until 18 weeks I was suffering from huge amounts of pelvic pain (really low) and my OB advised that it was my pelvis stretching to make room for baby. It didn't help that bubs made a habit of sitting crossed legged wedged into my pelvis at that time which made the discomfort worse. From memory I couldn't sleep on my tummy from about 12 weeks, so if you've made it to 15 you have done well. Now we can welcome you to the side sleeping club, although I don't think it will be too long until I move up to the sleeping upright club.

    AFM: Yay, got some sleep last night... Oh what a relief, although I got up as I had bad tummy cramps (damn constipation). Also had a massage today to help with all these aches and pains... Wow, you don't realise how tight all your muscles can get, but at least I now have relieved some of the pressure & fingers crossed get some more sleep tonight.

    Kelly, so glad you were able to get some sleep last night. Let's hope the massage has relaxed you enough to crash out again tonight! I'm with you on crappy upright sleeping... Some nights half the bed is pillows trying to keep me propped upright!! Thank goodness those nights are few and far between.

    31becc, it's good your PG is starting to feel more real...shame it has to come with yucky symptoms though. GL for Monday morning's scan.

    BOC, congratulations on your BFP! Best wishes for the nest 9 months ahead. Love the idea of a "cookie in the cookie jar"!

    Greenslw, side sleeping is not the best when you're used to sleeping on your tummy. I'm a tummy sleeper too but it doesn't take long to get used to sleeping on your side when as soon as you're on your tum it's uncomfortable.

    Bella and Smithy, hope your scans went well today.

    Hi to all the other lovely PG ladies in here at the moment. Hope you're baking your bubs well.

    Thanks KellyD and Kaydee I'm not happy to be in the side sleeper club I tell you, my neck is out and I'm not really sleeping. I tried using DP as a body pillow but he grids his teeth talks and wriggles way too much. I'm going to buy an inert one today or tomorrow. I already miss sleep.

    KellyD glad you slept better, gives me hope. Massages are worth their weight in gold.

    Becc sorry you're still getting sick, goodluck for Monday

    Boc congratulations. and welcome.

    ATM. in class and not really focussed my students are working which is great and I'm trying to stay focussed but failing. I'm thinking of what to have for lunch. already

    We were going to tell DSD tomorrow about the pg, she's 20 and not that involved in DP's life, but it seams her mum has made plans to stop us. She doesn't know about pg but is so frustraighting, we hardly see DSD due to earlier brainwashing and when we finally nail down a day, there is a 'family function' that DSS isn't even going to. you'd think after 16 years of devorce she'd let go a little more. grrrrrr

    Well I dont really know how I am feeling at the moment. Blah really. I feel sick bloated and in pain. Has anyone had really sore girl bits. I could hardly walk on friday after work it hurt so much. I have had to go and buy maternity pants at 11 weeks man this is not right. This is so different than with Campbell. Oh well as long as it stays there all is good right I can put up with being in pain.
    We have a baby sitter today so we are off to the movies and out for lunch we never have a babysitter so I am really excited.
    Oh have to tell you about a nightmare I had the other night, I woke up gasping for breath. We went for our 12 week scan and there was two, one had been hiding before. I es in such a panic. Pregnancy dreams are just wonderful.
    Just over a week to go and I will be completely off progesterone support. I have to open a bottle for just one pesserie great $75 dollars down the toilet.

    Oh Smithy how cute

    Saph I still have 1 full jar and a few, I'm thinking of taking them back to the clinic, not sure how long they last but prob not 2+ years. Bet you can't wait to stop em, they suck. Sore girlie bits, yep but only twinges, I've stopped wearing gstrings except to the gym and brought more comphy undies (bonds full brief are awsome) last for ages too.

    ATM really on cloud nine, had a great sleep. Extra pillow did the trick. Went shopping with my mum, so funny went to buy plants couldn't decided so baught a rake! Pg brain or what.

    Have a great sunday all.
