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
Further update - tried earlier but the site was down.
Well OB confirmed we are still all go for Monday 12th, he did a scan to check the position of the baby and the placenta before the surgery and he said that even though she is head down she has not even moved into my pelvis as he thinks that her head is not in the correct position for this to happen. Basically if we hadn't gone the elective c/s route he would have probably recommended it to us now anyway as he doesn't think she has any chance of coming out normally. Also he advised that the placenta is also laying very low, luckily not over the cervix but still pretty low so another potential option for a c/s as well. It seems I was destined to go the c/s route no matter what.
What this also means is that even though I am getting contractions and discomfort there is little to no chance of it progressing further due to her positioning, so I now just have to tough it out until Monday, but at 6 more sleeps to go I suppose I have waited this long so a few more days isn't going to kill me.
BDT: I hope your scan went well today and that you can feel more confident about your colours and hit the shops.
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
