Smithy, you are such a love with your neverending encouragement. Hope you are feeling much better too, can't wait for the next installment of your belly pics xx
Neptune, so glad you are happier with things at home, any day now, we are counting down days with you.
Bella, great news re the boys reaching the 1kg mark, big congrats, hope you are taking care, you are 10 weeks ahead of me and already I am feeling it, can't imagine how much more I have to go lol.
Hi Bee, thanks for popping in and for the words of advice
Poppy, GL with your car shopping, I wouldn't know the first place to start either. Hope you can get it sorted soon.
Kelly, GL with your OB appointment tomorrow, I hope all is well, and hope your pains settle down.
Azz, thinking of you in hospital, hope you are not going stir crazy, not long to go now for you, and I think it is great that you can bake for a little longer.
Murph, another late night? Or early morning? There is something about the middle of the night that is so peaceful, and especially so for you in the Daintree! Hope your reflux settles down.
Greenslw, I am feeling the same pains as you, sort of heavy, stretchy, if I walk around to much I feel a bit of downward pressure and my belly feels sore. I kind of want to tense my tummy muscles back in to get some relief but it doesn't quite work. Some people have suggested I look about 26 weeks or so by my size, which is scary, still a long way to go. Hope you are taking care.
Hi Saph, happy belated birthday, hope you had a great day
Hi Dee, not long until your NT scan
Hi BOC, I'm hungry too, allllll the time...

Well my party was fantastic, small and interment just like I wanted.
My actual birthday the day after was not so flash. As it was nice and sunny we decided to take DS to the beach. My MS was so bad that I threw up on our way up and then twice more on the way and then I decided to come home and DH could take him to our local beach and threw up when we got home. I ended up with another bout of sinusitis and spent the whole day in bed. (which wasn't so bad but it would have been better without the headache.)
BD good luck today. Our scan for one too over and hour as he wouldn't behave and refused to move. Hope you back is okay. Make sure you as them to stop if it gets to much.
Kelly I have my fingers crossed for you that it happens soon.
Saph: Sorry you had a rotten day, hope the sinusitis heals soon.
Neptune: YAY for progress! Hope he keeps going so you have anice nursery when you get home!
Bella: Cereal rocks! Good to hear your boys are well.
To everyone else:
Thanks to everyone for the kind words about the bushfires.The area burnt was about 3km by about 3km, which isn't huge, but it was close to a lot of homes and even at the roadblock DH said he was worried watching it roaring towards them, which is why he turned around & went the long way. They weren't really that close to our home, about 3km away but that being said, we have a reserve out the back and every school holidays without fail some idiot manages to set fire to it, the fire brigade takes about half an hour to come out & by that time one of the neighbours has usually put it out anyway . It was a bit of a wake up call though, having no power and our non-electric emergency phone had died (especially bad seeing as we don't get mobile service in the house when my phone rings I have to run out the front to the driveway) and I had no way of getting my car out of the garage so yes, I will be putting together a plan.
Hey can I ask a few questions to you keepers of all knowledge?
1) Do all Morphology scans take over an hour? Why is that? Is it only if you're trying to find out the sex of the baby?
2) Has anyone used a Valco Matrix or a Beema Q Swallow pram? These are the 2 I am down to, had plenty of good feedback on both but always keen for more.
3) I have been given the okay to go ahead and decorate the nursery any way I want (YAY!!!) and seeing as our colour scheme is blue I'm going for an under the sea theme. Anyone know where I can get vinyl removable fish-type stickers other than eBay? ANy other suggestions on what I could do? I'm sooo not creative!
Ok well I better run now, hope you all enjoy the rest of your week! We're off to Sydney tonight to spend a few days with DH's eldest son's 2 older kids, aged 9 & 11. It's great that we're all speaking again and we haven't spent time with the kids in ages so really looking forward to it, & they're excited too. It may also be the last chance we get to spend time one-on-one with them before the baby comes, so here's nothing gets in our way!
Enjoy the rest of your week ladies! So how many have we got now racing to the finish line???
So am linking as you mentioned fish, and this seemed reasonably priced.
Re the 20 week scan, from my understanding they measure everything ie lengths of all the bones, have a detailed look at internal organs etc, officially they don't do these scans for gender determination, it is just a bonus. Have fun decorating!
Thanks Smithy and Saph, hanging out for tomorrow!!!
Murph I reccon the babies are causing an increase in "pitty parties" I am normally a very stong girl, Fight before cry every time but now. Well we had the talk, while DF was screwing and glewing battons to his ceiling I brought up a cuppa and got into him subtally. Boys are always better at talking when they have their hands full (steering wheel, tools etc.) Probably not a chain saw though . So we went to the local farmers market early in the morning and saw his former employer and he told them he'd be back at the end of next year. I didn't loose my cool just moved on. When we got home I needed to know, I'm feeling way out of the loop and not coping so here goes. "babe, you know I wont be a Social Worker here right?" and then it lead to "we'll work it out" his thinking is 3-4 days away then home with baby for the rest of the time, I guess it's not ideal but much better than off I go see ya later. Also with DSS still at school I'm not ready for baby + teenager on my own. So we talked and I feel better. I don't know how many times I tell him to "TALK TO ME" because in my mind it's always 100x worse. but he is a man p.s. well done on no tv you are a legand!
Azz I hope you had a wonderful lunch.
Kelly lots and lots of support. Hope it moves quicker for you.
Poppyfairy, I second your comments in entirety. I get the sugar honey ice tea with my job all the time and want to move to Darwin, but when you're pg it's NOT THE TIME. Even to vent. here's hoping at some point your DH and my DF get that. Goodluck car hunting.
Bella glad the boys are going well and nice and fat (relitively)
Neptune glad your nursery is ready, that must be a relief.
BabyDreamtime Goodluck with your 3 hour scan tomorrow (what a long one) glad you and I are sharing the same pain, at least it's "normal"
Saph glad you had a good day. I'll be pg for my b'day too, bummer no wine
BOC glad you can decorate the nursery your way
ATM a new woman, after my long talk with DF I realised that he was thinking of me and I was thinking things were 100x worse than they were, but still (again) needed to tell him to TALK TO ME. I had a great time in the country saw so many people who were all really excited for us re baby to be.
The house was beautiful, nice to sit by the fire and chill out. I planted some treas two years ago and they were a little worse for ware (dam snails) so I did a little gardening and felt really good about it. It rained too and on the tin room it was really soothing had a reall good weekend
Well I have some news on the 6th October my 2 little boys were born Harper weighing 2160g (4lb12oz) at 9.41pm and Cody weighing 1460g (3lb2oz) at 9.42pm They are both doing really well they didn't need any oxygon. It was great to hear them screaming their heads off when they came out. They are both in the nursery in incubators Harper is doing well they are thinking of putting him in an open cot in a couple of days and Cody just needs to put on weight. They are so beautiful.
BD... i hope you have the BEST scan tomorrow hun seeing your 2 little beauties hey who knows maybe one has changed to a boy as it happens and they told me even with baby charlie that the little girls testies dont drop till about 24 weeks ? have a wonderful scan either way and be soo happy and proud with what evers in there hun as long as ther both beautiful and happy and healthy like there mummy
