Congrats Mel on the safe arrival of Zach. Another boy to add to our ever expanding blue list.
Jen: Hope all goes to plan on Wednesday and that your boys arrival safe and healthy. Tell you doctors that you the first one delivered at 9.00 and the other at 9.09 just to keep the theme going.
Murph: I felt like such a goose reading your recent post. Maybe not the Guardian Angel you would want.... Sorry for putting my foot in it...
Smithy: oh no about MS, has the Dr given you something to help as you have been sick for ages???
Grub: Bummer about having a cold, do people not realise that pg women are more likely to catch any germs floating around...
BOC: Yay on choosing names already, you are so organised. Gotta love a reason to go shopping. I haven't really bought a lot of Maternity type clothing this whole time, just been getting a size bigger in normal clothes as I know I will still be wearing them for a little bit after bubs arrives.
BDT: Can't wait to find out if you are pink, blue or both... Please add some pink to this very blue thread. What with MHB and Mels boys arriving and Jens to come on Wednesday I'm feeling pretty lonely and I'm sure Murph is as well with us so far representing the XX side of things.
Mahli: Good to see you again. Wow time seems to have flown by now that you are passed the 21 week mark. Hope you little bundle is playing nicely for you.
Neptune: I'm so happy for you that you can see movement in the "Operation Clearout" hopefully you will have a beautiful nursery all set up very soon. And congrats on getting this far at work, I don't think I could have coped working up to 34 weeks (which would have been this friday). I haven't worked for 14 weeks now and am thankful that I was lucky enough to be able to leave so early.
Saph: Sorry to hear you ended up in hossy. I hope you are on the mend and feeling better.
Greenslw: Hope the "children" oh sorry I mean adults pull there heads in soon for you.... Hello pregnant women... hormones.....
Miss M: Too bad about your "Pies" on the weekend. My DH is a pies supporter and he has full on cracked it now as he is sure there is no way the will beat the Crows next week. I sit quietly as my "Cats" made another prelim and say nothing......
If I missed anyone, a big hello to you all.
AFM: OB appt on Wednesday and c/s date will be booked. I think worse case scenario I have 38 days left, but could be 36 or 37 which will be such a relief. Baby is so low now that if she got any lower her head would be hanging between my legs and lower back pain has really kicked in as well.... And lets not mention the Braxton Hicks, nothing better than walking around the supermarket gettting a contraction and baby deciding that she might have a stretch and roll around at the same time... Just doesn't work... MIL at our house for another 2 days, so trying to be a gracious host, but it is hard work when all I want to do is sloth around the house IYKWIM.
Mels - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear more about it. Enjoy your special time with your little Zach. I totally agree with all the other ladies - gorgeous name!
To all you gorgeous things feeling poorly - I'm wishing you better!! Pls take care of yourselves.
And to those of you with scans coming up - can't wait to hear if yours are pink or blue!!! How exciting
Kel - sounds like you are AT THE END!! rest rest rest rest. tell mil to wait on you!!! if all else fails say you're feeling too uncomfortable and poorly to get out of bed and would she mind bringing you a cuppa and turning down the lights. hee hee
AFM, well, I have a TIME!! 8.30am is when I'm being wheeled in! So we'll see how close we get to 9.00 and 9.09. wouldn't that be hilarious! Had another scan today and it showed that the blood flow impairment to the placenta is getting worse, and the resistance is intermittently absent, so def need to have delivery soon. I am very very excited about meeting these little mites.
Hi to everyone else - hope you're all baking nicely.
If I can't check in tomorrow, I will be back as soon as I can with some exciting news!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big kisses to all of you - I couldn't have got this far without your support
first congrats mel!
and welcome to the newbies!!! sorry i wont get to know you!!!
just a quick update from me!
i had the worst birth experience! it was the worst and best day of my life! bubs had the cord around his neck which we didnt know until he was taken out via the c section also needing forceps and this is y he would not engage and my induction failed. so, in the end it was for the best! i didnt see him for hours he went to special care coz he wasnt breathing well and bsl was very low but then they brought this little pink thing in next to me! he may have to go back though as he has lost half a kilo in a week, he did put on 55grams since sunday though so i have to feed him top up formula. will do my birth story next week, still pretty sore but getting there! i miss being pregnant and still cry about not having a vaginal birth but i will get over it! newborns are hardwork!!!!!! i will miss it in here and wont be in here for about another 5 years, thats if my TTC journey is just as difficult as last time! thanks heaps girls! i will pop in time to time to check up on you all!
Just dropping in quickly.
M+H+B big congratulations, sorry to hear you had a few dramas but so glad all is well now, looking forward to hearing more.
Good luck tomorrow Jenc
Hi to everyone else.
AFM, we had a scan today. Looks like we might be adding that extra PINK that has been missing. The sonographer is guessing Baby 1 is 90% Girl, and Baby 2 is 70% Girl, though she did not get a very good look at all at the nubby for Baby 2 at all. DH is in shock, being Greek he was so hoping for a boy to carry on the family name etc. Will take him a while to get used to.
Me, I guess I was really hoping for a Boy/Girl, but what is really dissapointing me is the reaction that I am getting from family and a few friends. Talked to my mum on the phone and she sounded like she was almost crying in dissapointment. One friend just texted me back, "ha ha, Karma works in funny ways, better get a shot gun", I guess in response to DH shock. A bit mean of them I think. Like we have lost out or are second rate if it is 2 girls. I don't think I even got a congrats that they were still in there and alive and kicking and looking to be healthy etc etc. Anyway, we see OB next Tue for another scan so I guess that will either confirm or not today's scan. Though I don't think I will be rushing out quite yet to buy all things pink until the 19 week scan, just to be sure.
MHB so sorry to hear your birth experience didn't go to plan for you but in the end you have your beautiful boy to help ease the dissappointment.
BDT: Well I for 1 am so happy that you are joining the PINK brigade. I think all DH's want boys (something about proving themselves I think) but really girls always turn out to be daddy's girls anyway. I think my DH wanted a boy but now he is having a little princess I don't think he is really dissappointed after all the pain, suffering and turmoil we all go through to get our precious bundles. As for people and "Karma" not all boys grow up to be angels as well, it is all about how we bring up our children to be kind and considerate people and just wait until you feel 100% confident to start buying all the pretty pink things around. I made special efforts to find clothes that had slogans like "I'm a daddy's girl" just to make it more real for DH. Give it time and I'm sure you will find that he will warm to the idea knowing that he helped to create those precious babies no matter what they are.
BDT - im thrilled for you! those comments were mean, the fact that you have two happy living babies in you is the main thing! i seriously commend you i couldnt have carried two let alone look after two!
Smithy - i will miss you but will be following your blog! take care of yourself!
