Congratulations Tracey!! I'm sorry to hear you've had a hard time - well done to you though! You should feel proud of yourself. And it's lovely to hear you talk about your little boy. I'm also glad to hear how much help your DH has been - hope he's not going back to work too soon. Those first few weeks are hard, but it does get better. Take all the rest you can get - and that goes for everyone else too

Lismith, hope you and babe are doing well

BW - all the best fo today

Hi to everyone else - hpoe you're all travelling well

Thanks, Marcellus.

I'm back from the appointment, and overloaded with information! I go back in about 5 weeks and get to have two scans (a dating scan - not sure why I need one!) and the nuchal scan (not entirely sure I want it!) before then. At least I'll have regular reassurance that things are ok.

9 weeks tomorrow, and getting past yesterday means we got past the point where we lost the first baby... I think it's all starting to sink in!

Big congrats TL - sorry you had a bit of a rough time. I hope you are all home and settling in and having a wonderful time getting to know your little one.

Pleased to hear that it's sinking in BW, and you will have a few things to keep you occupied with over the next few weeks.

Arielle, Nic...hope you guys are well, and waiting to hear exciting news shortly!!!

Tracey - Huge congrats on the birth of your bubba! So glad to hear all is well with him, and hope you are healing well too. Isn't it lovely to see our DH fuss over us and the new little person in our lives.

BW - I was thinking about you today and was wondering how your appointment went. So very glad to hear all is well with you and your little parasite (have you thought of a different name? I think it is fitting considering parasites suck on and don't let go) WOW at being 9 weeks tomorrow. It seems to be flying by, but I'm sure it probably doesn't feel that way for you...

Arielle, how are you going?

Me - not a lot happening. Finally about over the cold..YAY! Feet have started to swell up, not nice at all either! Had our hospital appointment and I walked away even more scared of my c/s now. We asked about DH cutting the cord, and the midwife told DH to follow the paed. and ask him, along with telling the midwife in theatre of our wish. Filled out heaps of paperwork, and got our bounty bag (which DD is calling my 'show bag' LOL) Midwife gave DH some paperwork all about the c/s, what will happen with me, him and bub. They will put bub into special care for about 2 hours to check his breathing and then he will be allowed out after that if his breathing is all well. makes if feel like it will be even longer before I get to hold him.
We can also have photo's taken. It says we can have pics taken of the birth! DH thinks they mean the actual c/s, and I think it would be pics of bub on the table while being checked and first hugs with DH etc... Either way, DH has decided that it will not be happening, he wants pretty, clean photo's back in the room.

Anyway, must go and quickly check out the rest of the forums... will drop back later.. hope you are all well

BW congrats on a wonderful scan and happy 9 weeks tomorrow too.

TL congratulations on the safe arrival of Jett.Your hubby sounds so sweet. I hope you are recovering well now too.

Nic Try not to worry too much about the c/s hun.I also had one with Sage and TBH it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be Just think about that gorgeous little boy that you'll be holding in your arms very soon.

A quick update on us.Sage is doing well. He's 7 and a half months now. He melts my heart every day. He has the cutest little giggle and the loudest sqeal when he's excited lol. He has started saying bub,boo and mum all in this past week. I had him weighed today and he is now 7.19kg. He has put on a whopping 800 grams over the past 3 weeks which is the most he's ever put on lol. He is starting to wear some size 00 clothes. Not bad since the size 00000 were a bit big on him when he was born lol.
He also loves going to his swimming lessons too. His Nan brings him to my work each Thursday for his lesson lol.

Hi to you all. Hope you are doing ok.
