KellyD- Goodluck for tomorrow, it will be such a memorable day just breathe and go with the flow. Cry if you want, laugh and be in total awe of this beautiful thing you created! I still do everyday.
Murph- Dont stress too much my bub was 2.8kg and they put roughly a kilo on in the last month anyway. I still get small comments as my baby is a bean pole like his dad...very long and skinny.
As for the caesarian..well i dont regret it at all because at the end of the day im fine and so is Jacob and thats all that matters. It feels a little weird but your so focuused on the baby you dont care! I was the only new mum doing laps around the ward on Day 3 because i was bored and wanted to go home. After 4 weeks i was back at work doing caring but i think pain tolerance is different for everyone.
Azz- What a suprise to see youre little boys are here and very cute names too, i hope you have them home with you soon.
Well i think thats all, Jacob had a very busy day today going to his godsisters 1st birthday party and while feeding is a constant issue for us we are seeing a fab paedatrician in Perth, but soon enough ladies your bubs will be here and growing everyday.
Hey Murph - just wanted to send you a reply about the breech and possible c/s that you are looking at.
The reason Asher did not turn on her own was because she had a problem with her hips which required her to be in a palavik harness for the first 6 weeks of her life. Sounds worse than it was - if you want more info on that let me know.
BOC congrats on feelng the movement. I? felt this baby move at 11 weeks which I thought was insane but I asked at the 12 week scan and they said where he is sitting I was definently feeling him. I think going through the whole IVF thing makes us more aware of our bodies and we feel everythong sooner and so much more.
okay just wanted to have a bit of a pity party seeing i've got noone to lean on atm (dh can't answer his phone during the day unless emergency). and i knowo you girls won't mind.
so i'm home alone. 7 weeks. not happy. first weekend goes fine. just lazy, watching dvds and ate some junk i shouldn't have. Gets to sunday night, didn't take my nap cos i wanted to make myself tired as don't sleep well without dh here (worked sat night a treat).
so am tired and just make some scrabbled eggs on toast for dinner.... start to feel unwell half way through eating the eggs. dog gets the rest (highlight of her night tho).... within the hour am on the loo with a bucket. yep got freakin gastro/food poisoning or something AGAIN!!! that's twice in two weeks! wtf??????
both ends this time and all night! finally got some rest about 4.30am
had to call in sick to work as its lingering but not as bad as last night. I'm a very sooky sick person, particularly when vomitting and really really wanted a hug from DH.
That really sucks...maybe you still had something lingering in your gut and the eggs set it off again. Drink lots of water if you can handle it. If not, sips of gatorade will do. Don't get dehydated.
I';m still here! Still getting mild contractions and cervix/pubic pain, but no baby as yet. Getting very antsy.
Thanks guys, had some more tapping last night at church, Cookie must have liked the music (we have like a rock band that plays) Obviously going to be a musical bub LOL.
Oh Saph that is almost word-for-word what I said to DH the other day. I asked the OB about it at my 12wk scan too and she said that (1) because of where Cookie is sitting in my (backwards) uterus and (2) being that I'm an IVF-er it is more than likely I will be feeling movement a lot earlier than others. We just become so in tune with our bodies after IVF that we learn to recognise every little bump & change and "normal" people don't get that. I'm just so sick of ignorant people telling me it's really only wind or that I just need to go to the toilet.
Grub: You poor thing :hugs: hope you're feeling better soon. What a crappy time to get gastro!
Smithy: I had a giggle at your BOC comment. Nope, I had nothing to do with the sponsorship although it may be possible that DH might have as he, like BOC makes lots of gas Week 14 pic coming soon hun!
Feeling a little heavy and uncomfortable today but happy as all my errands have been done and I'm working at home for the rest of the arvo so I've hopped into my jammies to do so! Feel sooo much better! Ahhhh the joys of working from home!
Funny story, DH's adult son has developed a rather annoying habit of just rocking up out of the blue without a phone call and walking through the garage straight into the house without knocking. It's not a huge issue, and I'm sure he still feels like it's "his" home, but still a little respect for privacy would be nice. The past couple of years I've always tried to be decent just in case they turned up but this year I told DH "Stuff em!" (especially come summer) if they want to wander in and find me sitting around in my undies, big belly & all (or even better, find us DTD ) well so be it! I'm sure it would only happen once before they would get the idea
Poppyfairy, you know your pg when you want meat when you're a vegie Good on you and DH for seeing the light side of all of this I think that's good, hopefully you find some non poker face mums to be. Frowns=wrincles!
BOC glad you felt something, I don't think it's early I felt very clearly at 16weeks and I have alittle extra padding. It is the most amazing and distracting feeling isn't it.
Samiejam well done on 17weeks
grub hope you're feeling better soon.
Baby Dreamtime babymoon sounds so nice

Hi Smithy, Neptune and Nixon and anyone else I've missed.
Today is back to winter just when I felt the sun on my face it vanished. I know I'll be cursing summer but I can't wait for no more winter!
