DrBeee, I am so sorry that thuis wasn't your time. Take care of yourself

JenC - Fantastic!!! Congrats on the birth of Hamish and Lachlan, sounds like it was a fantastic experience!

Juniper - WElcome, it is wonderful to see you here!!!! I rememeber hanging with you in the LTTTC thread a few months back. STicky vibes to you.

Grub - Hello girl! Don't worry, we have only just come up with a name. I was easy and had quite a few that I liked, but DH wasn't too keen. He came up with one the other day and it just feels right! WE both like it which is a step in the right direction.

I only had to take off my rings a couple of weeks ago, but now my hands are disgusting; blotchy and purple and numb with carpal tunnel in the right hand. I hope you don't get it, it is quite uncomfortable. Can't hold a cup of tea for more than a few seconds.

Ahhhh whinge whinge whinge. I am nearly there, so don't want to complain too much!!!!

DH now has 7 days off from work. SURELY I will have a nursery by the end of this week (when I will be 37.5 weeks????). I live in hope!

Hello Everyone

Drbeee - so sorry to hear that it wasn't the outcome you were hoping for. I hope you can start that cycle you were embarking on soon and get that BFP.

Thanks for your welcomes! I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Congrats to the newbies. I am one too!

I am over the moon because my DH finally felt kicks! I was getting down because he seemed to show no interest and I was always telling him he needs to be patient and have his hand there for longer than 30 seconds! So today we sat and waited and he was patient and was rewarded. He even saw a few belly movements. He then gave my belly the sweetest heartfelt kiss which he hadn't really done yet as I guess it hasn't been real to him until now.

Hi Everyone

DrBee: So sorry to hear of your loss, take care and hopefully we will see you back here very soon.

Juniper & Poppy: Welcome, I hope you both have fantastic pregnancies..

Poppy: My DH was the same with the movement thing. When I used to feel movement I would let him know to come feel, but he wanted her to be like a trained dog I think and move on command, I told him he needs to be patient and then he will be rewarded with a kick.

Jen: Congrats on the arrival of Hamish & Lachlan and I am sooooo happy to hear that they are doing well and that you are able to spend special time bonding with them. Hopefully time will fly and you will be able to take them home soon.

Grub: Boys names are so hard I think, before we knew what we were having I was trying to get a list of both boys & girls names together. Girls names were a piece of cake but wow I really struggled with a list of boys names, luckily I dodged that bullet this time.

Neptune: I hope this week will be very productive for DH for you and that you will have your nursery soon. You have more strength than me though, I would be stressed to the max if I didn't have everything organised already.

To all my other lovelies, sending you big belly rubs for a good week.

AFM: Well 3 weeks today until c/s and I really can't wait to meet this little one now, have to get over Grand Final this weekend and then DH's birthday the week after so at least some things to occupy me between now and the 12th. We put the car seat into the Station Wagon yesterday and we are getting the cargo barrier installed on Wednesday and then we are ready for her to arrive. Trust me after last nights dance party I am truly ready to have my body back. I had continual partying from 7.30pm to 11.30 pm and I don't just mean little movements, I had feet, legs, bottom and hands coming out at all angles, although after all that partying she seemed to sleep until 7.30 this morning so that was a blessing as I was exhausted. Anyway better get on with my day we have a tree lopper coming in today to cut down some trees and get rid of some dead branches before bushfire season starts again... Ahh the joys of living in the country.

Grub - last night I went through an entire baby name book that says it has 75,000+ names and didn't find one boy name that both DH and I liked. Girls names are much easier

KELLY D, wow chicky babe not long now how exciting.

JENC, yay congrats on your 2 beautiful boys its so good to hear your news

ROFL - i'm hearing you gurlfren lol.

and kelly d i think half the reason dh wanted a girl was cos the girls name list was sooo easy. yes you have 'avoided a bullet' lol, not sure if its that dramatic tho.

well we got down to a shortlist of four names - thinking about posting in the baby names folder for some feedback. But there really isn't a name i just love or that we instatnly fell in love with. i think it is a more intellectual decision with a boy. brh. can't believe jen had to think of TWO boy names ! lol.

oh kelly d how exciting... it's going to fly by and you'll have your little bundle there with you!

poppyfairy - that's wonderful news about your little kicker givng DH a boot. my hubby doesn't seem as interested in my belly as my boobs mind you and his hand always manages to migrate north (or south). men! i've already broken the news that the boobies are the babies in 12 weeks time - he looked as sad as the dog when you tell her to go outside.

neptune - love you can be my whinging buddy. we'll whinge and moan and complain and groan to each other. my feet hurt and are swollen, my sciatica is playing up again! i kept getting painful spasms on the right while at work and had to come home to work from bed; oh, and i stumped my toe what you got?

weighed myself today...i've put on abot 15-17kg! how is that even possible given i'm still wearing size 12 stuff??? (okay i wear a belly belt with the pants, but still if it weren't for my belly i'd look like maybe i'd put on 5kg). I"m dreading having to get rid of the weight afterwards. I blame the spinach and feta rolls from the local patisserie. they taunt me every day and they just know i'm weak. oh and the chocolate bars that jump into my mouth and attack me

can't wait til the kid is out and i can go for my 8/10km runs again!

hi to all the lovelies stalking and reading. mwah! (that was supposed to be a kiss sound lol)

Ohhhhhh Grub... you have those killer-chocolate-bars too??? They keep talking to me! I swear they do! And they follow me around the supermarket saying "eat me!" Yes really!

Oh and I have developed a fondness for creaming soda for some reason... bad I know... haven't had it since I was a little kidlet but sooo delicious!

Oh and ladies I discovered a new type of "heaven", almost as good as sex, french toast topped with bananas and drowned, I mean drizzled, with maple syrup... YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! (hmmm wondering why they don't have an emoticon here on a preggy site for "stuffing your face" ???)

Ok all this food talk I'm hungry now, off to make some afternoon tea!

to everyone else, hope you're all away nicely! BBL for persies.
