Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - Jan 2008

[Ltl Panda]

Hey chicks, thought I would write again.... today my back is killing me, lots of nerve pain in the Lumbur region, and have very strong period like pains in the lower abdomen.
Monnie, glad to read that work is good for you and that its offered you some type of flexibility.... tell you what though, you must have a long journey if you only get home at 3:30, you probably live far or get some crazy traffic....anyways its better to be in your own peace than at work.
Kimbe, great news hun... BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, and yay for the additional scan, how exciting....
Welcome to Katones, may you have a lovely and peaceful pregnancy, blessings to you and the little one.
And Marcellus, wishfull thinking, I so hoped my little one to come at 38 weeks, I went as far as 1 hour if intense cardio each day that included cycling, running and skipping, and here I am one day before the due date still wishing for it to come at least one day early...But I do wish you all the luck in the world. Good on you for making nappies, well done....
Sazz, so happy that Celeste is doing well, you sound so happy and in love....so cannot wait.
Well girls, I hope that the next time i am on, its to announce the birth of my baby.
Talk soon.

hmmm, pain... that must be a good sign Ltl Panda . Hope it all goes smoothly for you when your time comes. You're so right about the wishful thinking. I always figured I'd probably be late, not that I'd complain too much if I were early....but wow, how on earth did you manage all that exercise? I can't even manage a walk around the block without hobbling after about 5 minutes.

Sazz - the enormous cloth bum sounds really cute.

Ooh Ltl Panda, sounding promising there!

Just had to come in and brag about my bargain buy! Just ordered a copy of 'delivery by appointment' from QBD for 4 bucks! and 6 for postage lol. I thought it was a mistake, but it went through the checkout at that price.

Have been having some bad heartburn this week, and feel like MS is returning of a morning. Was asked to help out at the schools bookfair, setting up on Friday and selling books in the mornings next week. Said I would help out with setup, but not next week when I'm feeling all blurgh in the mornings. DD has been reminding me to breath big and deep, so very cute.

Lots going on in here to catch up on - i am having a sickie today as i am just exhausted and seem to feel like rubbish at night when i get home. So, a nice quiet day was on order. I don't feel bad - they pay me peanuts and i'm meant to be part-time already anyway. This might be the wake up they need.

Ltl Panda - good to hear you are both ok - but take things easy. I hope you are getting a chance to relax a little.

Sazz - oh the little cloth butt up in the air - very cute, but maybe not so comfie. Still, think of how you had to lie for the last few months!

Kimbe - congrats on the engagement. Not long to go now - aren't we all funny wanting to go as soon as possible! I don't want to wait much longer than the EDD - and i am paranoid now that he'll be an April Fool's arrival.

Marcellus - you are good making the nappies - I am buying mine - but DH is still really not happy about the MCN decision.

Katones - congrats my dear. 1st cycle too!

Hope to see some more newbies in here soon, as we have got four mummies already, and at least four of us are graduating in the next 2 months! My heart still aches for my LTTTC friends who haven't got their BFPs yet.

Nic - i have a bargain too! I bought 2 gro-bags off ebay - second-hand, but only $40 for 2 so if bugsy doesn't like them, at least them i haven't spent an arm and a leg.

Went to Ante-Natal classes on Sunday - and both DH and i were very pleasantly surprised. It was really well done and we had a great group. Pity they are all due at least a month after me (except one girl who was due in 2 weeks time!). So, I'm not expecting anyone to be in at the same time as us. We saw a Placenta too - which was interesting, but DH was a bit grossed out.

I have another scan next week - my ob says that they always do an extra check at 37 weeks for those of us who had difficulties etc. He is a darling and DH and i both really like him. Pity he is always running late!

That was a long post - hope everyone else is well and happy

Lenny, hope your day at home was a nice relaxing one Yay on your bargain too, never thought of checking out ebay for them. Have been looking every now and then at the swaddleme's though. So much new stuff since DD was a bub, it's like being a first time parent all over again LOl

Hi Ladies,

Thought I would jump in and say Hi as I havent for quite some time. I have been lurking occassionally but as always, difficult to find the time.

Happy to hear all of you are doing well at your different stages. Its wonderful to see you all moving through this journey with excitement & anticipation.


Take Care,

Tracey

Hi everyone,

Kimbe - congrats on your engagement. I wasn't sure what to refer to my partner as when I started to post on BB but went with DF as we are engaged, but we do live together as well, so maybe should be DP. It's all much of a muchness I reckon.

I became an aunty for the first time yesterday. My DF's sister gave birth to a girl by c section and we got to go visit them last night. Was a weird feeling to know that probably the next new born I hold will be my own. I'm getting little movements every day now - an industrial vaccuum cleaner was used near me at work today and it was incredibly loud and bubs promptly woke up and gave me a kick. Had my first experience of stress incontinence a couple of days ago - I had two powerful sneezes in a row and out it came with the second one... luckily was at home at the time. I now carry a spare pair of nickers in my handbag....just in case.

Yep Monnie, it is supposedly me next, but who knows, if i go late and Lenny &/or Marcellus go early then we could all be in around the same time.

Just awoke after a nice little sleep...driving mum to the airport and then coming home really took it out of me - given some of you are doing a 2+hr drive to see a Dr i don't know how you do it. It was nice having mum down and hearing her labour stories and just chatting about what she was doing when she was my age etc. Unfortunately, the time spent together didn't help bring on an early delivery as i was hoping though. So as she hugged me goodbye at the airports drop off zone it was "i hope you have a good labour, enjoy it, know the pain will stop, and i'll see you again when you're a mum and i'm a nanna again" It was really nice.

I'm with you Lenny on the sooner the better though. I just want the "new life to begin" but my mum made a good point saying, don't go wishing bub's life away. Blah blah blah LOL!

Well, we're off to a farewell for our best mates who are moving to Qld tonight. DH is not a regular drinker but will have a few with this particular friend and given the circumstances i think a good healthy consumption of alcohol is in order, but I have said on the side that even though i'm happy to do the drive home, he'll need to take it a little easy on the beer & port just incase things begin to move.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. The weather here in Sydney is glorious, hope its the same around the rest of the country!
