    hi girls! it has taken me soooo long to catch up on the last few pages of news. so much has happened!
    I'm thinking of you all, but just wanted to mention...
    Babydreamtime - congrats on your NT results!! I'm over the moon for you. Not long till your gender scan now.
    Smithy - awesome news for you too on your NT scan.
    Frosty's mum - I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
    Greenslw - congrats on your engagement!
    Sammie - I'm so sorry you lost one of your babies. I hope you're doing ok.
    Jen - I hope you're hanging in there. 2 weeks will make all the difference.
    Azz - I hope you're doing ok in hospital.
    MHB - wow! good luck for Monday!!! And here, I thought I was going to beat you to it!! I'm so glad that the hep test was negative. I'm sure they'll sort your liver out after your boy arrives. Will be thinking of you!

    AFM, well, 2 days to go "officially". At my obst appointment yesterday I had an internal exam yesterday (which was really unpleasant!) and I'm already 2cm dilated! So I guess this could happen at any time. But equally, it could go nowhere. So I've got another obst appointment booked in for next Thursday and if nothing happens before then, we will discuss induction. I'm really hopeful that things will progress in the next few days. I'm still feeling really well and sleeping well, so no complaints.

    Love to all!

    Wow, huge changes in here at the moment! Special post for MHB and I'll be back later.

    MHB, I have goose bumps for you. I hope you can relax before Monday and get yourself in the zone for this amazing twist in the journey. We're all wishing you well and thanks for sharing all along the way. Lots of hugs for you and DH to get you through. xox

    May the long time sun shine upon you,
    All love surround you,
    and the pure light within you,
    guide your way on, guide your way on, guide your way on
    Sat nam.

    I sing this all the time to Jasmine, as I have done to anyone who needs help and special thoughts at any time. It's from an old yoga swami and it touches every part of me...only wish I could sing it to you. I sang it all through my amnio and I'm sure I will all through my birth (in my head hopefully).

    Mels, that is so exciting. I was 2cms at internal examination and then 2 days later went into labour. Hope the same happens to you. GL.

    MHB - hope it all goes well for you.

    To everyone else, hope you are all well.

    Hello all. It's not a complete list, but you know the story...

    Hi Kahlan - hope you're keeping well and life with Lyla is your dream come true.

    Mels - what an exciting week ahead. Lots of luck for a smooth ride for you and little Sudds.

    JenC - how are you today? Hold onto those little fellas for as long as you can, but be assured that they will be fighters even if they have to come earlier than you want.

    Azz - sorry to hear no early release for you but hope too much Dr Phil and day time soaps don't make you even nuttier

    Miss Magpie - great to hear from you. why are you not looking forward to your diabetes test? Is it the process or the result? I had mine done on Monday and it was just the prelim test, not the full thing so only had to drink the liquid which was like flat lemonade, wait an hour, have blood taken. Easy peasy. You'll be fine

    Neptune - fingers crossed for your weekend mission honey. Go gently.

    Grub - I have a whole post formed for you and not all of it is nice! You have taught my DH bad habits and more than once now has he told me to "suffer in your jox Murph!". he was trying to sympathise when I was salivating over pina coladas and malibu sunrises and said it would all be over as soon as the baby was here and I could drink. I had to remind him of the joys of breast feeding and drunken babies Anyway, have a good weekend and take lots of rest stops for your back and posture and anyway you'll be needing to pee My back was a bit cactus but recovered in a few days.

    KellyD - Yay, it's Friday!! Congrats I'm nowhere near dropping or engaging so you've raced ahead of me again. I'm sure I'm nowhere near your size either. It's official, after much speculation from...like everyone...looking for the bump, I've been told by the doc that if I went to hosp now, they would try to freak me out by telling me I'm too small. Take note BDT, I decided not to freak, though I pouted a bit when I told DH and he propped me up with lovely compliments..."you're big baby, you're huge!" Haha, we spend our lives trying to avoid those comments. I'm not making comparisons (well I am when I see the girls in my antenatal class, but they are all huge and it's hard not to). I feel good and Jazzy gets around like she's doing a butterfly relay so we're happy and we'll just hope for a healthy little bub.

    Smithy - Hiya sweet girl. haha, funny to be considered someone to aspire to like I used to look at Briggsysgirl and janie and the girls who all have their babies now. OMG that will be me soon. 30 weeks this weekend, how did that ever happen? Great news on your NT.

    Everyone else, hello pregnant girls, hope you are treating yourselves well and feeling well. Have a great weekend and it will probably be time for a new thread soon so stay in touch and we'll update your info for the EDDs. xoxox

    P.S. Murph - its more the process of the GD test that Im not looking forward too, the whole sitting around for 2 hrs! Had one at 15 weeks so having to do it twice is a pain Plus am worried that I will have it too.

    Hiiii!

    Hope you're all good. Been lurking a bit but haven't really had much to say.

    Won't really attempt persies, too many and I still have the memory span of a goldfish LOL.

    Would like to give a huuuuge to all the potential mamas in the next few days. Hope it's all smooth sailing for you... well as much as labour and birth can be!

    Murph: I get what you mean about the size, although I am opposite. I am only 8 weeks and already "popping" and of a night time I look like I'm about 6 months already! Went out last wknd and was alittle worried cause my dress was a tight around the middle. Concerned I asked DH if I looked preggers or just fat and got a cheerful "Nah it's ok honey, you just look fat!" Well thank you sooooooo much darling! You always know how to make me feel good! I'm dreading in the next few months when people start asking how far along I am and I say "5 months" etc and thay look shocked and say "How many are you having?"


    Nothing much happening here. Still very mild MS but it's totally random. Some days I have nausea some I don't, last week have just totally not been into eating dinner, settled for a bowl of cereal instead. Really nothing much else to tell.

    Keep up the good posting, you all keep me entertained every day! I am thinking of you all, and hoping you're all feeling good
