Grub the staff Cheered me. They were so happy. I tottally understand the worries. I had chineese last night (bubs hates chineese) and had cramps this morning. I started worring but no more signs today. Glad OB went well and you're feeling better.
KellyD glad OB app went well and your happy with early Delivery date.
Congrats on the boy 2mums
BabyDreamtime oh Darwin I'm gelous.
Bella so nice to hear about your little taps.
Oh Smithy, I'd get yourself looked at that is ages now. hope you get some restbite soon
Sammiejam I think your body puts on what it needs too. Don't worry too much
Azzrenae glad you're resting up
MissMagpie when are you finishing work? My mum went into a long long long story about how when she gave up work her BP went back to normal. I'm not listening as I want to work till I pop but maybe there is some sence in an old ladies rambling? Hope you're feeling calmer.
MHB you're allowed to be slack.
JenC wow only 7 weeks not long how exciting.
ATM. So looking forward to weekend away. Oh had GREAT news today my DP's work mate's partner (confusing) is PG! 4 weeks. She had IVF and had 0 eggs! with her ex partner, this time no IVF just a happy couple and a miricle! I am so happy for them and So excited to have a BB IRL! Pretty cool to share this with someone who has had her own long TTC journey.
yay greenslw! i'm so glad you got such a lovely response from your workers. i found even the people i realy didn't get along with at work were excited when i told them of the bub. there's just something about babies that soften people
as a result of my pregnancy, i find people are nicer to me. one of the girls offers every monring to fetch my chai from the local patissiere (i only say yes if she was going anyway) and i don't have to fill up the printer with paper anymore! lol... shelf is too low, paper box too heavy and i'm milking it baby!
jen - what a lovely gesture.. writing ot your bubbies. are you writing about your journey thus far or how you are feeling or such? just curious you don't have to answer if you feel uncomfortable about revealing. i tried to do that months ago but it came out like the screen play for The Notebook (i could even hear the soppy music as i reread my work lol i'm not very good at that sort of thing). so i'd love to hear how you go about it
I agree those weeks are just flying by! i can't believe i'm nearly 23 weeks!!! that's astonishing, it has gone so fast and i hope it'll continue to do so! wanna meet my new man (sorry DH).
MHB have you got some cream? and remember to eat foods to help soften things up so you don't strain and make things worse. you have really earnt this bubbee haven't you? taek care of yourself. ox
Hi miss tania - good to hear from you but sad to hear you are having some issues. sounds like you really need that maternty leave to start asap. take care of yourself love .
grapes are good smithy but like the others said, don't get too dehydrated. oxox
azz - stay in the bed! i can imgine how boring it would be to be stuck in hospy and your family at home. you poor thing. and i alwasy find it's when you HAVE to stay put you can't, but every other tiime you'd love to spend a few days with your feet up. murphy's law... lol... no pun intended murph... promise
All the other girls who are finding it hard to keep up, please keep posting so we know how you arae going. Everyone understands if you can't do a full list of persies everytime
Have a great weekend all... we are planning on leaving the house this weekend and living again.. feel like i've been trapped in the house for months!
hi everyone
gee, news and time flies when you don't log in here everyday!
Kaydee - congratulations!! wonderful news on the birth of your twins
Greenslw - re packing for hospital (which you asked ages ago!), I just followed the list that my hospital sent me. It was pretty sensible - 6 outfits/wraps for baby, clothes for self (breast feeding friendly ie with buttons), lots of hideous surfboard sized maternity pads, breast pads. I have also packed a separate labour bag incl change of clothes, sweets, bathers for DH, ipod, camera (and anything else to try to distract you during labour). Amazing news re your friend btw.
Tania - I've also had carpel tunnel (numbness in the hands at night). It's very annoying and I believe it doesn't go away until after the baby arrives. Hope yours isn't too severe.
I can't quite believe I'm next in line (Murph thanks for keeping that list up!)...my obst said she doesn't think I'll be overdue which is nice to hear.
Thinking of you all and hope you are all well.
Mels xxx
MHB: You had better hit the Big W baby sale to get your Car Seat and Pram. As much as DH's are helpful I would hate for your little boy to arrive and that you have to rely on your DF to get the right stuff for you.
Mels: Good to see you are still with us but not for much longer it seems.
Excited today as we are 30 weeks . Never thought in a million years I would get to this stage and there are so many of us now progressing well that we will all be mummy's so soon.
I have been a bit under the weather the last couple of days. Had bad gastro Wednesday night and yesterday along with some dizzyness and lightheadedness, DH had a cold last week and I think he brought a bug into the house. Luckily I'm feeling better today so hopefully nothing more will come of it. Baby has been quiet the last couple of days as well, probably as I'm feeling under the weather and I think she has her back to my tummy so feeling movement is limited when she lays like that.
Anyway I also wanted to rub it in that it is a beautiful sunny day today and I am sitting out on my deck enjoying basking in the sunshine with my belly all exposed. I even had to hunt in my wardrobe for some spring clothes that would fit and shock horror I've even exposed my lily white winter legs as well. Luckily I live in the bush on some land so I can't offend the neighbours. Well off the last anti natal class tomorrow, hope you all have a good weekend.
Well I've just spent the best part of half an hour reading, so I know you don't expect me to do the full list of persies today .
I can't believe I read your post Kaydee and forgot to say what I was thinking .....Great news and Congratulations!!! I was very moved to hear of the lovely safe delivery of Jarrod and Teneille and hope you enjoy the busy babymoon time ahead.
I'm going to stick with a few comments to KellyD for now as we are closest and I seem to be like a voodoo doll that she keeps sticking pins in. Whatever you go through Kelly, seems to happen to me! Stop it now... seriously. So the night of your birth suite twist and turn, guess who did the same? Again, she has righted herself but things are still mightily uncomfy and squishy. I had my first antenatal class and had a great bunch of people. I thought I'd be an oldie and with all young teen mums or something but they are a lovely lot and closer to my age (about 12 of us) and some with a bit of a hippy bent like me we'll miss the second class on labour can you believe? That's when I go to Townsville so timing sucks a bit. Ooh the subject material gets a bit grim hey and yowsers dont some of those pictures make you cross your legs, especially in front of the fellas!
Ahh but the best bit of my class was that I learnt one vital bit of information, the ferry has a 24 hour emergency contact through 000 and they will operate for me if in labour after hours. Yayyyy, the whole family have been freaking just a tad trying to work out the birth logistics. The other great thing is that I met another couple who live over the river too. Double yay..we're in the same boat..(haha or ferry)
And just a follow up for all my lonely ramblings of last time I wrote, well i just had my second visitors come up to see us, my auntie and uncle from Melb and they brought stacks of pressies from my mum. Mum is coming up from Melb. herself in September and again for the birth in November and staying for two weeks which is excellent. I'm also going to see a whole stack of my rellies in Townsville next week so I'm getting exactly what the doctor ordered, a good home baked dose of southern lovin!
I have heaps more to say Grub, don't think you can even come close to out ranting me girly. I actually hold back! Haha
Great to hear everyone is doing so well, except the MS girls. Might be time for a bit of intervention hey? Everyone else, good luck and take care.xo
kellyD - i know what you mean! i couldnt trust my DF to even get the right size nappies let alone a car seat and pram! we will be going tomorrow to ease my mind!
anyone elses bub get hiccups constantly, mine gets it at least once a day and its quite uncomfy on my bladder and it worries me a bit, it seems to be after i do a bit of physical labour such as house work, maybe he gulps fluid to fast or something? anyway I have my appointment on thursday for my bloods then an exam on friday! i cant wait to finish this degree!
I tottally understand the worries.
I had chineese last night (bubs hates chineese) and had cramps this morning. I started worring but no more signs today. Glad OB went well and you're feeling better.
4 weeks. She had IVF and had 0 eggs! with her ex partner, this time no IVF just a happy couple and a miricle! I am so happy for them and So excited to have a BB IRL! Pretty cool to share this with someone who has had her own long TTC journey.
