Congratulations on the wonderful arrival of the little Grubby Bub
ahh, you corrected yourself before I could be a smart (well, Grub) When I read the name as Asthon, I thought, no you wouldn't give me that much amunition, it was just too easy You know what I mean. I thought you might have snuck a bit of the pethadine after all.
in all seriousness, I got back from Townsville and was sooooo anxious to follow your progress and I read and skipped through everything to read your story. Oh man I was in tears with you on that low day you had and felt like you were dreading the experience I had. Though you put a positive spin on it, it was heartbreaking to read you were so sad. i bawled my heart out for all the same things the first chance I got. we couldn't be together at home for 7 days and it really was hard for me being in hospital and DH just visiting. DH had to take on everything and then for another 6 weeks post-op and post baby pretty much. I'm so glad you got your big happy birth experience and everything went to plan with your lovely man being home. I can see both you and his Daddy in him. Your lips definitely. I don't have to tell you to enjoy...you will
Been MIA cos it's been manic at work and a new thread already. Lots to catch up on (deep breath) here goes
SeaChange well done on you pg and welcome.
Saph hang in there
Thanks for the list Boc Well done, geeze I'm close now.
Poppyfairy do you have a feeling on your DD I'm thinking either the 20/1 or 2/2 for me. No idea why just have a 2 feeling
Grub you sound so happy (if a little tired) so good to hear. Wishing you and your now bigger family a wonderful Christmas
Merry Christmas to all the wonderful BB mums and mums to be. I'm thinking of all of you around the Christmas table unable to eat ham and drink wine (for just a little while) but it is so worth it
ATM work has been nuts but it's all done. and now I feel like maternity leave is calling even if it is a couple of weeks away. I just need to clean my office, handover and then relax. My bosses baby came a couple of days after she finished so I'm hoping I get the full two weeks at home on my own.
I have had so much energy the last week, Can't sit NESTING but my body is feeling it. My feet were so sore the other night they felt like they were on FIRE! So I"m tring not to pace so much but having the nursary 90% set up is so amazing.
My friend had her scan and there was a HB at 6.2 weeks so I have a pg friend again. Still keeping everything crossed for her but I have a good feeling. And I can pass all my pg books and mags on, Clear some space for all the parenting stuff.
Can't believe it's Chrismas eve, I finish work at 4.30 then gather all the food to take to mums for a light supper, then tomorrow it's the HEAVY lunch (small gathering of DH mum and one of our firneds) then a lot of friends popping in and out all day. I really love Christmas.
GRUB~ I would LOVE to see your pics also but cant gain access either.SOmeone else on the forum couldnt either.
Forgetting names already but someones post just said we cant eat ham while pg? Why is that? My books dont say anything about ham.I have a HUGE ham on the bone ready for tomorrow...now im thinking i will only be eating damn salad.
QUESTION~~ PLEASE HELP.Has anyone had light brown discharge (sorry for tmi) at 8 weeks? I had a teeny tiny smear this morning when i wiped after emptying my bladder.i am 8 weeks 1 day and my scan last wednesday showed a strong heartbeat and i dont have cramping or anything but am worried.My Ivf clinic is closed over xmas and i havnt booked my ob yet as advised so have no one to help. My books say its common around 4,8 and 12 weeks as thats when you normally woud have a period but cant stop worrying.
Thanks girls for your help.x
Grub -=- Where are these photos everyones talking about... all i could see was a facebook login page.. How adoreable with the lil quivering lip, My ds used to do the same thing!!
Welcome seachange! how wonderfull that you are finally on the journey to mummyhood! best of luck with the following months would love to hear more of you

Wantbaby, I had some brown spotting a little while after my early scan. It isn't uncommon to have some spotting after an internal, hopefully that's all it is. Generally if it's brown and nothing else going on it's ok.
Hi my loverlies, just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Grub, I can't access your pics either and am dying to see Ashton, he sounds like a darling. To the mummies to be, bring on the 2010 bubs!! Love to all xx
Baby Dreamtime I sencond the motion, I had really strong BH Christmas eve and day and I'm so glad no bubba. That would have been a little early and not the best timing so now I'm happy when Squeak is ready. Do you have a feeling on your D Day?
Lani I bet you have next to no time atm, hope Christmas with your new budle was great. I can't wait for next year, Christmas is so much better with kids around.
Kyra just take care of you. mrs efficiant can mean you doing too much. Christmas is for rest too. Sorry to hear about your itchy sore problem Make sure you find something you like, prune, cloudy apple or all bran you can eat daily. Allbran has been my saviour.
Wantbaby I've had discharge the whole way through ICHY and it's from yellow to light brown. Hope yo7u had more than salad for Christmas. All meat just needs to be HOT! I fried some ham in a nonstick pan and it was great.
Christmas was great, but was feeling very pg by the end of the day. Was glad to come home and couch. Although today we are getting a dvd or two tv is apauling atm. I don't mind veging on the pc but that is a tad anti social isn't it.
Still fussing in the nursary too, I know I should sit more but there is so many little touches to put together. So exciting and no Christmas baby for me. I had a bit of a bad feeling Christmas Eve really strong BH and thought "oh no" but no Squeak as yet.
I just wanted to pop in and say Merry Xmas to everyone. I glad everyone is healthy and happy.
Me, on the other hand, not doing so great. Our beloved little 2 1/2 year old Klein Spitz died last night. I am truely beyond devistated. Maybe a heart attack but we dont really know as he was alone at the time. I have never felt so guilty in my life, I feel like we failed him because he was by himself. No signs of a distress or struggle (no frothing at the mouth, no bulging eyes, no soiling) infact he looked still alive...
I dont know how I will get through this. I feel so bad for lil Blue because I know he is feeling my pain too, so that is making me feel even more guilty. I knew that losing a pet was hard but I never expected it to be THIS hard.
Oh dear, another crying jag... sorry to be such a drainer everyone...
Sammiejam, I was just having a quick window shop but when I saw your post I was heartbroken for you. Excuse my ignorance, I'm a dog person through and through but not sure if Klein Spitz is dog or cat (doesn't matter). It is one of the worst things you can ever go through (lno less real than the death of a person) and I am really feeling your pain at such a terrible time. Our red cattle dog died on new year's eve one year and yes, devastating is the only word. The guilt is something that goes with pet owning. They are so dependent on us and it's so easy to feel that we could have done things differently. I don't know what to say. You have a lot to work through and it will be a really sad time. Just know that it is totally okay to grieve for your lost mate and it will take as long as it takes. Eventually you get old enough to accumulate a string of lost mates that you outlive and it doesn't get any easier. It is devastating so feel okay to miss him, just try not to blame yourself. It's also okay to get upset and not effect Blue. You need to let it out and babies are resilient as long as you are not causing a lot of stress, but healthy grief is okay. Be extra kind to yourself and know that we will be thinking of you.
P.S, we all know only too well, that life is full of ups and downs, so don't feel bad to share when you need to talk most. I'm not in here often, but there are heaps of girls who will support you in here. xoxo
Sammie: My sympathy goes to you, I know the feeling all to well as my 8 year old beloved cat died this year (the saturday night before Mother's Day). We also had no warning signs and had been out before it happened and within 10 minutes she was no longer with us. We also don't know what happened and I didn't want a vet to find out, so we found a special place in our garden to put her to rest and my DH searched for the perfect rose bush to plant over her (an unusual rose called Oranges & Lemon's as Shilo had very unusual marking) and we had flowers this spring - summer. It is nice to know that in some way she is still with us and I'm sure your beloved pet will be with you always as well.
Sammiejam = I'm so sorry. I am a dog lover and know that it is no less than a family member's passing. I'm glad your pet didn't suffer a long illness. Thinking of you
oh sammiejam - i'm so so so sorry to hear you lost your lovely furbaby. sending you big hugs love. they may 'only be dogs' to some people but for folks like us they become our surrogate babies and are such a huge part of our lives.
poppy - that sounds like a smashing lunch you are having! mmm and as for the Ham girls, yep you can't go there! sorry. But i can report i am having runny eggs and ham for breaky. mum is just making it now.. .yes i know it's nearly 11am but hey that's life.
thanks for all the well wishes. and murph - you are too sweet.
i think i've fixed the link problem and am trying again now. so here we go.
stil having BF issues.sometimes he wnts it other times he doesn't. Still expressing and my family are calling me daisy cos i get heaps every time! so we know ash isn't starving lol. hopefully we'll sort it out soon tho. i'm trying to be patient and perserve.
girls you all have so much to look forward too and the aches and pains of pregnancy are quickly forgotten. oxoxo
Hey Grub, Ashton is GORGEOUS!!!!!! You look so happy and settled being a mum.
I had huge BFing issues as well and expressed frequently - 'heading to the farm to milk the cows'. Hang in there and good luck with it. It's a learning curve for both you and Ashton, so it's hard to get it right straight away.
Sammiejam so sorry to hear about the loss of your little fur baby.
grub Ashton is like you said 'Perfection' he is absolutely adorable. Congratulations again!
Big hello to everyone else. I have been reading all posts but dont have much to contribute at this early stage. Really looking forward to our scan on Wednesday and have everything crossed that we see a nice strong heartbeat.
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and enjoyed speding quality time with your bubs & bumps!
Sammie: So sorry to hear about your furbaby hun. They really are like our children aren't they? I had the same thing last year, my 1yr old mutt died suddenly in his sleep. We had him cremated and he now sits on a shelf and we talk to him all the time. I was devastated but just glad it was so peaceful. DH cried every night for 3 weeks afterwards, he was his little mate. It really is hard when they're only young though, and when you least expect it. Cry all you want on us hun, that's what we're here for. But you'll get through eventually and have all those happy memories to live on.
Grub: Ashton is a total little spunk! Soooo cute! Love the photos, and I'm sure that was a big smile he gave for the camera in his photo with Nanna! Hope he enjoyed his first Xmas. Tell me, did you manage to get a santa photo in? I worked on Santa photos one year and we had a few 2/3/4 day old bubs come in, it was so beautiful although Santa was s%*@tting himself worried he was going to drop one!
Big to everyone else!
AFM: All good here, still having swelling but not much I can do. Ob sent me to get BP checked on Thurs, was higher than normal but still within normal range so nothing really further to happen until it rises out of that. All normal I guess. Had a great Xmas with my family, and DH really enjoyed it too. Not much else to tell, hope you all enjoy the week ahead, bring on 2010!!!
