How are we today - a fine Thursday morning!! I say fine, because it is cool!!! And I like it that way soooo much better, LOL!!
Sal - Nice to see you back! How do I feel - Great!! Nervous? - no, cause at this stage I don't know what to fear, so I am not fearing it or being nervous about it, if that makes sense.... Hmmm, fully ready - well, as ready as we are ever gonna be I reckon! Although last night I had a dream that I forgot to pack hubby some swimmers and he ran around the hospital in the nuddy like me..... so, off to check this morning, LOL! Oh and WOW - look at you - 31w already!! Not long to go for you now either!
I have all these funny emotions though - on one hand I am so excited about finally getting to meet Munchy, and not having some of these aches and pains, and getting rid of my hobbit feet... But on the other hand, I feel a sense of loss already that he will be out of my belly. I think I will miss the little gentle kicks (and the not so gentle ones too!), the hiccups, the only me knowing when he is moving, what he is doing and having him with me all the time. Does that make sense??
I have and am loving pg so much, and cannot get over the miracle of actually making a little person, and I think part of my fear/sense of loss is the thought that just maybe (I pray not) this may be the only time we get to do this, you know??
Anyway, enough of my depressing introspection.... LOL!! It is all good!! And yep, we are excited!!
Jo - how is it going?? Got rid of that pesky ringworm from kitties yet??
NZGirl - Glad to hear your hayfever is settling. I have the same problem when the polyns come out or the westerly wind hits in summer.... My poor nose/sinuses and eyes!! Glad to hear all is well, and well, I subscribe to the same philosophy - no news is good news!! Oh, I have put on 13kg in total now.. (swallows loudly...), but I gave up worrying about it - I figure as long as Munchy is happy and healthy I can exercise and diet to my hearts content when he is out, LOL!! I think having such sore pelvis, and split pubic bones which has meant NO exercise, and I mean NO exercise for months has probably something to do with it. Besides my ankle swelling now goes to my knees, so I figure there is a few kg in that too!! (Who am I trying to convince most, hey???)
Tiff - yep, you are right, all bubbies gotta come out sooner or later... As I said I have an end date - if he is not here by the 5th or 6th of Dec that is when the obs want to induce me anyway.... (It was my choice though to wait a week over my due date - he was happy to induce anytime I wanted after 38w.....). I just wonder how big he'll be..... I am glad to hear they have slapped your wrist re your sugars - you should know better matey... (I know, easy said, hard to do...). I am glad your uterus is holding up, and also glad they are keeping a close eye on you. Please accept lots of hugs ())()()()()()()(), and keep your chin up. You are doing ever so well to hold it all together and dealing with everything on your plate - we are all really proud of you. It is not long to go now till your little lady and little man enter the world, and things will seem better then, I am sure! Will you be able to keep in touch with us from the hospital??? (We'd miss you otherwise!!)
Well, I have blabbered on again... sorry girls! Better go and do some ironing, and will catch up later!
Big hello and belly rubs to all those I missed in personals! Hope you are all well and busy growing babies!
