Grub: no hips here so low riders feel a little unsecure. Glad your mum is spoiling you.
MIF your numbers sound good, I didn't have many symptoms at first either. Tired was there from the beginning too.
Saph, sorry your boss is being a pain, you need time off or you'll go on leave early! I'd threaten!
Lilmisshavachat Hi I started wearing maternity cloths at 22 weeks probably a couple of weeks later than I should have, feel so much better, although there are definatly more comfortable cloths than others!@ how did your appointment go?
BOC baby's movement at 17ish weeks was only when I was still (i didn't notice the rest of the time) few little flutters during a meeting and more at night. Then it seams to get more regular around 20 weeks, Well until 28 weeks then it's non stop for me atm. hope family c**p settles down, you don't need it. Re Post 2: glad cookie is ok you need a bit of support without the stess. What are you doing for you? for me, I get a nice decafe coffee, paint, go in my garden, or sneek out of work early ( I know not everyone can do that).
Bella how did you scan go? goodluck for tomorrow.
MissMagpie oh you sound so pumpt, hope your pre 7.30 brecky was great. Goodluck
ATM little flat, feeling hungrey and don't know what I want for lunch. hehehe. Work is ok, was called in monday but it turned out to be a very productive day.
Saturday is my big video taped 2 hour lecture for tafe, little nervous but looking forward to it being over.
OB today and a blood test for sugar levels etc. Fingers crossed.
Squeak is doing so much working out lately, it's been non stop for 2 days (well not really) when I turn in bed, when I sit at the pc for a while when I sit on the couch, whenever I'm still Squeak is on the move. Funny we had a bit of a paturn for a couple of weeks, 730-9am 4.30-5pm and when I was in bed, Squeak likes to kick DF in the back too, gota love it.
Still don't want to know the gender but really can't wait to find out, not long now, oh 9 weeks of work to go (and two days)
woo hoo for 9 weeks of work left greenslw! and lol for kicking DF, good bubby lol. Bluey is kicking up a storm since i had lunch, i think he particularly likes the baked new york cheesecake and cup of tea i'm currently consuming. i'd say oops, but i've given up trying to fight the weight, it's too exhausting.
lilmisshavachat - what a great thing to be able to say - i'm happy with my choices! i'm sure choosing the right care has such a major impact on our overall birth experience.
BOC!!! take it easy woman! that is an order from me!!!! i suspect we are going through the same obst in newcastle lol. wouldn't that be a small world! but seriously, do take care of yourself sweetie - the most important thing atm is your and your baby's health. sounds like you may have to 'cut' your family out for now. I would get DH to ring the main offenders and give them a terrible guilt trip about their behaviour and its impact on others more than themselves. bbrrh i feel so cranky on your behalf! have you tried some relaxation stuff? meditation? soft music? bath? etc ox
afm - i'm going okay. it's been very quiet since mum left on tuesday but i just started a new book series so just trying to wind down from work. it's really difficult, and i'm sure it'll take a few weeks to fully realise ''holy sheeeet!!! i don't have to go to work for at least a year, probably more". lol. But i must admit I put in an admirable effort today - went to the baby shop and got some drapes to match my barnyard theme - even better they were 20% off! and then went to a yummy little cafe for lunch. Me, the newspaper,a chai and a yummy chicken noodle salad - aaahhhh life is good lol. (sorry to all the girls still working or with little ones keeping them super busy... don't mean to rub it in... very much lol)
4 weeks til DH comes home (i counted today lol) he's doing really well, so i'm super proud. but he's worrying about me so i'm trying not to tell him how lonely i am sometimes. but seriously, i'm trying to treasure this quiet time to myself, i know it won't come again for a very long time.
ROFL - fur baby has just ''interogated'' me, the keyboard, and the lounge for evidence of cheesecake. it tickles heeheehee
Oooh Grub wouldn't it be funny if we were going to the same Ob? We might have even "met" in the waiting room! We will have to chat about this some more.
Thank you for all your lovely kind words. I am feeling so much better today. I made myself sleep in til 9am as I wasn't starting til 10:30 today. My manager is the most beautiful, lovely woman and gave me a mini-lecture about not overdoing it and looking after me & Cookie. I'm really looking forward to my next shift tomorrow cause they are all such lovely people to be around.
The family situation kinda looks like it's looking up, one of the people that's been giving me a hard time (the one from my side) actually rang me this morning to apologise, said she didn't realise the impact she was having. I'm really happy about it as we've never really fought before and it really cut me that we weren't speaking. As for the other side, well I don't think anything will ever change there. Although DH sees the light now, he is still going to be involved in their lives which is great, but he's accepted that I'm stepping back and keeping clear of them for a while. It's only fair, I don't need any more hassles and I won't be held responsible for theirs (they have recently found out they are preg too). I just hope they have the common sense & maturity to not drag it all through the mud and involve other family members.
Anyway I had some more stuff to say but baby brain seems to have got the better of me yet again! Oh and I just booked my birthday present, which will then become DH's Christmas surprise and I am so excited I am wiggling! But I have to wait for 3 weeks til it happens and I think it will be the longest 3 weeks ever...
So over & out for now, I'm off back up to the hospital again, but not for me this time, one of my besties (who is 6 weeks preg ahead of me) ended up in hospital just hours after me yesterday and is still there with complications from unknown causes. Really worrying as this is the 4th time she's been to hossy. that everything is ok for her.
feels like it's been ages since i've posted, though I have been keeping up with what everyone is doing. I wanted to wait till after our 6 week scan so I would actually have something to write - one very strong heart beat right where it should be, so i'm so so relieved!! DH is a tinsy bit upset it's not twins (we had 2 embies transferred) but I must say I was just so relieved when FS said it was in the right spot that I didn't particularly care if it was one or two.
BOC - The Chicklet is due 28 June, and at this stage we haven't decided if we're going to find out the sex or not. What have others done? I notice a fair number of tickers with names etc...
Greenslw - you sound like a wonder woman! I hope that you take time out to look after yourself in between working/studying...!
Smithy - i've got images of you walking around all day with your pants up around your boobs -
grub - don't you just love how mum's look after you? Nothing beats a mum cooked meal. Glad you had a good time with her and enjoyed some pampering, and have fun with your sister next week! Where is DH? Does he travel often?
saph - hope you're feeling a bit better
BOC - glad the family dramas have sorted themselves out somewhat, it's the last thing you need to be dealing with now! I think your solution of locking yourself away and thinking of yourself and bub is a great strategy and I hope you continue to utilise it even if things have calmed down a bit.
Bella - all this cleaning etc., are you nesting?! How did your scan go today?
lilmisshavachat - glad to know that the 9 months goes quickly as it feels like it's CRAWLING at the moment!
MissMagpie - hope everything went well!!!!!!
A big hello to everyone else, hope you're all travelling along nicely. DH is at a conference dinner tonight so although i'm supposed to be studying up for a job interview tomorrow I think i'm going to snuggle on the couch and watch some BBC Pride & Prejudice. Or if i'm honest, stare at the scan photo all night with a big smile on my face
lise! what fantastic news! i watched P&P last weekend lol. enjoyed it very muchly despite the fact i've seen it a million times. i always feel all romantic after watching it!
i'm glad your HB was good, even if there was just the one!
to answer your question - my DH is in the defence force and was sent away for an 8week training course, due home 10 days before bub is due! eeek. we don't live near any family or friends and i've just started mat leave - so its.... ummm... an interesting time! but all is well, just a bit lonely and why you'll probably find me on here... a lot lol.
as for gender/names ... the majority of girls have decided to find out the sex. some choose the name and share, others (like me) just give our bub a nickname (bluey or grubby bub is our bub's name for now lol). It's completely up to you what you do - you won't get any pressure here to reveal name/gender etc and you'll get heaps of support if you choose to share.
my DH really wanted to find out... he felt it was giving him some control over something in our journey for a child. i would have been happy to not find out, but unfortunately I just "knew" from about 6 weeks that it was a boy. the scan just really confirmed it, but i was 100% certain it was a boy (mother's instinct lol). am glad we know tho, as i've been able to really buy plenty of stuff
If I've missed anything or you have more to add, let me know!
