Poppyfairy~ i do hope that all turns out well for you.Im sure it will.Im thinking of you.
Hoping everyone else is doing well and has a great New Years Eve.I have just found out that my dh just bought tickets at $100pp for the pair of us to go to a new years celebration at a restauurant in Cronulla.We have to wear white.Luckily i recently bought a lovely white maxi strapless maxi dress which looks very roman'ish. Can wear that but am dreading going out actually.Ive become so boring the past 9 weeks,having left the house only 4 times to go shopping.I havent eaten chocolate or even been intimate for 7 weeks!! Driving dh mad,i am.I just am soooooo tired.I cant be bothered.
Anyhow hoping everyone else has a great time.
WELL..... I had my 9 week scan and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! Everything looked fabulous and the heartbeat was sooooo fast and strong.The difference in 2 weeks is amazing.Last time we were calling 'him' Tic Tac because he was half the size of one and shaped like one...this time 'he' was big,fat and looked like a giant peanut with little arms and legs.Oh it was amazing.The specialist said the baby looked very healthy and i now have 2 little pics for my album.
Im so glad that it turned out.Im now booked in for my first prenatal visit.A bit shocked at the costs involved though! Wow! So no more IVF care.Im just a regular pregnant woman,and couldnt be happier. DH missed it as he couldnt get time off work so i rubbed it in and he is on his way home soon with gourmet chicken/vege pizza.Im sure he will be so excited to see a pic that actually 'looks' like a baby now.
Well Happy New year everyone..again.Love Alicia.x
BOC~ Are you sure we dont have the same husband?? LOL My hubby does EVERYTHING HIS way and never listens to me.When i had my son,most people called the hospital and were told "She is still in labour".When i came down from recovery (emergency c sec) my room was FULL of people..Sooo annoying and i was swollen up like a balloon as i had a allergic reaction to morphine so make sure you put your foot down on this one.Im sure he will be too busy anyway to text people but if you dont trust that he will respect your decision for privacy,simply flush his mobile down the toilet.That should buy some more time.

: forgot a personal
Thanks for all the advice girls. I agree with you all, it's totally my call. I just want it all sorted out beforehand, cause I don't want to be fighting on the day (and just secretly, he was married for about 25 years to a woman that screamed and ranted and raved at him day in & day out so I doubt me yelling at him during labour would make much difference ) I thought of grabbing his phone and throwing it across the room mid-contraction hoping it would smash but then I remembered it's one of those unbreakable tradie models that can be run over by a 12 tonne truck and remain unscathed
But I DO plan on getting the midwives clued in on my plans and let them be the nasty ones. I also broached the subject again on the way home from dinner tonight, in a real nonchalant way and used my cousin as an example, i.e "Liz is planning on not having anyone there either and her midwives have said they will keep people out and tell those who call not to come for a couple of days until she's had a chance to rest, recover and establish breastfeeding so I think I might do the same. Cause you know the first couple of days I'm just gonna be totally wiped out and need to recover, know what I mean?" and then said "Anyway I think they cover all this in the antenatal classes and tell us what to do so I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks" and he was a bit "Oh ok then" so it worked!
I am also thinking of setting up a list of people who want to be called when the baby comes, and when I ask them all beforehand if they want to be on the list I will tell them we won't be telling anyone when we go in and not to expect to come visit for a couple of days so they are aware upfront. Thanks to whoever suggested that.
And if all else fails, I will get my mother to tell him "how it's done" *evil grin*. He usually listens to her (actually sometimes I'll tell him something and he'll totally ignore me so I ask Mum to tell him and she suggests it and suddenly it's a wonderful idea! ) Ugh MEN!
Wantbaby: Good to hear about your scan! How lovely to see your little peanut!
Green & LM: I saw a beauty today, a Mum & Dad bending over trying to strap a case of VB into the stroller while the barely-walking toddler stood beside them crying to be picked up, only to cop a whack over the head and be told to "shut the f@#% up and walk". The parents then cracked a stubby each and walked off leaving him to follow them. Kinda makes you wish there was some kind of eligibility test for becoming parents doesn't it!
Grub: Glad you love your hug-a-bub! I haven't heard a whole lot of feedback about them, but what I have heard has been positive. I scored big time and got one on eBay for $60! It looks brand new, no fading or marks or anything! I've had a few practices with a stuffed bunny and even once tested the pea ion a pod position with the furbaby and was so surprised how easy they were to operate! What colour is yours? Mine is the berry/hazelnut.
Poppy: Excellent news on your results!
Well I must head off and go to bed. We went out for dinner and I stuffed myself stupid on a kids-size dinner. Can't believe that's all it takes these days. I also have a major case of hayfever and cause I'm so full every time I sneeze I feel like my belly is going to explode. That and I have to run to the toilet so I might go lay down and let it settle.
Thank you again for all your advice! Hope you all have a great NYE!
Well a me post sorry but very excited. We have booked in for our induction and baby is to have the fourth of feb for his birthday. Very excited. I to had to lay down the law today about no visitor until the day after. Was a bit surprised that i even had to do it. I just want time with the new baby and for Campbell to bond with his new brother, the rest can come on friday. It's a bit harder having someone drop Campbell off at hospital but telling them to bugger off but that is what I am going to do. Our hossy has very strict visiting hours 3-8 pm so that is great.
Oh dont have a hernia just some pulled muscles so now have a tummy support as well as my pelvic brace. Very hot.
Poppy = I asked what being induced involves. This is the essence of what was said. Gel on cervics if required, waters broken and drugs to get it all going. We are going arrgressively as I am going to have an epidural before it all starts because of my pelvis. Very similar to what I had with Campbell except I was already in labour and didn't have the gel.
Green - braxton hicks/contractions is what they are having. she said that if they are really intence that will lead to a good labour. I cant believe you are still working. You must be superwoman.
Hi ladies
I just had to pop in and share my exciting news. We are having Twins!!! We are both in shock and still cant believe our luck. DH's dream has always been to have twins but we never thought it would really happen. Was so amazing to see them both on the screen and to see the two strong heartbeats. We are in love. On such a high!
Will be back later for personals. Hope everyone is doing really well.
OMG! Paula! Happy can't even begin to describe how I feel for you and DH - to see not only 1, but 2 beautiful strong heartbeats... WOW!!!! Best Christmas/NY pressie ever!
