Hi everyone, Thanks LNB...yep sleeping quite well actually and afternoon naps to boot. I don't normally sleep well in the arvos and then at night. Last night was a bit mad...we told mum and dad we were pg and it was a very restless night of nerves and emotion. They were thrilled and so so surprised. i think they had kind of given up on it bless them...so it was a lovely gift to tell them.
Hi girls, hope the bellies are growing...will get a chance for personals in a week or so.
Lovve to you all and GOOD LUCK to Shannon...thinking of you babe.
Hope you have had a great couple of days. Thanks for all your kind thoughts and words.
Good news is all is great with the little ones. I saw their heartbeats nice and strong yesterday.
AND the reason for all my pain is a hugely swollen left ovary which is sitting right under the skin...NICE!! Got to love the OHSS! Have been told by my FS it'll be painful for a few more weeks yet. I can handle the pain as long as I know my 2 little ones are growing nicely.
So back for another scan on Tuesday. YAHOO!!
I'm going to get back into the personals tomorrow night but just wanted to say a big hello to SHANNON. I hope you had an amazing day today meeting your 2 little babies.
I hope you all have a good night and enjoy your day tomorrow...it's off to work for me in the morning.
Sorry no personal today as I am still catching up. Well I have finished (at least the draft copy) my assignments. What a relief! I haven't been feeling too great... I have come to a conclusion that my symptoms in the past week are a mixture of MS and indigestion. I feel like my tummy is very unsettled and full all the time but not to the point of throwing up. Can I ask does MS progressively worsen or can I expect this to be it for the next 9 weeks?
Had a little bit of discolored discharge yesterday (sorry TMI) and it freaked me out but it had stopped so I hope that is normal pregnancy experience.
Kahlan - my MS didn't get a whole lot worse after six weeks in general, but i DID have some horrific days. i'm now 12 weeks (woot!!) and still feeling constantly queasy - but no where near as bad as i did when it was at it's peak...
Bel - great news about the little ones, sorry to hear you are still in pain. I hope it goes away soon for you.
Kahlan - must be a relief to be at least almost done with your assignments. I've had light spotting for the last 2 weeks, FS did scan on Tuesday and could see no reason for concern so I am just for it to not be a problem. I read that 1 in 3 women experience spotting during the first 12 weeks.
BG - how exciting for you to reach the 12 week milestone and to have some relief from the MS. Have you been waiting for 12 weeks to share your wonderful news with everyone?
HM - hope you are doing well. Any luck on finding a better DR?
Sorry for no other personals but hoping everyone is enjoying their growing belly and having a relaxing weekend.
AFM - until Friday, I had not had any of the symptoms described in the books,but man did they all come at once ! Friday morning I awoke to MS, major moodyness (poor DH), tiredness and good ole constipation (sorry for TMI). The MS seems to be better now but the rest are still here. I saw my GP on Friday for my OB referral and she said it was all normal and good to feel so many sypmtoms at once. Taking it easy today and trying not to be too cranky
i was hoping to wait until Christmas to tell a lot of my family - simply because of estrangement between DH and his family, and the fact that some of my family are friends with some of his (it's bloody confusing!) - however, a friend of a friend works at Target, seen DH picking up baby stuff, and not only blabbed to our mutual friend that i was pregnant (thankfully i'd already told her) but also said something to my mum in front of other family. NOT HAPPY! anyway, with her on the blab front, i need to start telling people so that they don't hear things from this woman (who my mum has officially complained about!)
will tell the last of the "close" family after Monday's scan (woot woot!) - and after that, well, as people find out they find out. i had intentions of doing a cute Christmas Card with 12w scan piccie with a little santa hat on - but seeing everyone has decided to ruin the suprise, i'll just tell people. not what i wanted to do, but everyone seems to think 12 weeks is the magic milestone and i should get over it - so bugger them - i'll not be "cute"!
BG - how annoying to have some one blab to your family - some people just don't think do they ? I think the Santa hat on the 12 week scan is adorable - you should do it anyway and enjoy it. Good luck for your scan tomorrow.
TL - Good luck for your 20 week scan - i'm sure it will be an amazing experience.
Well time for me to walk the pooch and get off my butt for the first time today. Very lazy day, not sure how I will get through tomorrow at work with out cat naps every few hours!
Kahlan, my m/s didn't get progressively worse...it was pretty much the same from 5wks-14wks. Some days were worse than others, and at about 16wks it disappeared completely.
BG and TL, Good luck with your scans tomorrow!!
AFM, back to the diabetes educator tomorrow for her to check how I am going with my GD, and then big scan on Wednesday. Feeling a bit more movement as well. Still feels like flutters but I feel more of them and I feel them every day now.
Hope you have had great weekends relaxing and resting.
Kahlan- Great news about the assignment. You must be so relieved.
BG- Happy 12 weeks to the little one. Have an amazing scan tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing all about it. Bugger about people's big mouths!!! I just love the Christmas card idea. I'd LOVE to receive a card like that.
Hippy Mum- Hope you had a good weekend of naps!!
LNB- Friday sounds like it was a hard day..hope you had a better day today. You make me laugh with hoping the crankiness stays away today!! I have been like that for months now on this IVF journey. Waking up every day praying not to get cranky!
TL- I can't believe you are 20 weeks now..gee time goes fast! Have a great scan tomorrow. How beautiful to see Baby Tigger again xx
Megan- Hope the appointment goes well tomorrow. I can't WAIT to feel flutters. It must be so beautiful.
Nicole- Hi there. Hope things are going well for you.
Janie- Hope your weekend has been a relaxing one. Am always thinking of you.
Devon- Great to hear from you. Hope all is well with you
Sorry if I missed anyone..we are a massive group now which is so amazing!!
AFM- Have worked all weekend and gee can I feel it. I'm on the recliner and Mum and Dad's and probably will only move to feed myself, go to the toilet, then to bed!!! WHAT A SLOTH!!! Oohh and another scan on Tuesday. Can't wait to see the 2 little cutie pies again!!
Have a great day tomorrow all. 1 more day of work for me, then 2 off!
Congrats TL! Wonderful to hear you are having a healthy baby girl.
Devon - congrats on 30 weeks!
Bel - I remember that feeling of complete exhaustion - it does go away eventually! Can't wait to hear how your 2 little ones are going tomorrow.
Megan - GL with the diabetes educator and also your scan on Wednesday! How wonderful that you are feeling more movement.
BG - hope your scan goes well today... congrats on 12 weeks! And aren't people just miserable that they would feel happy to release your wonderful news before you are ready.
Kahlan - I think sometimes the discolouration can just be old blood from implantation. Try not to worry about it (easier said than done I know)... a lot of women have bleeding in pregnancy and have perfect little baby's at the end of it. Just look at what TL went through and here she is with a beautiful healthy little girl on her way.
Hi and lots of to LNB, Nicole, HM, Devon and anyone else I have missed.
AFM - well my little monkey has finally kicked hard enough for DH to feel from the outside! He felt 3 definite kicks last night - which was really very special. The only thing is, now the kicks are really feeling like kicks not flutters - and bubs decided that as I was trying to go to sleep last night that they would wake up and kick about like nobodies business for a couple of hours. Needless to say I feel exhausted today, but oh so happy about feeling all this movement.
scan was fantastic!! i can't believe how much our Gremlin has grown! and how HUMAN it looked. we have one hyper little vegemite growing in there - no wonder i felt movement so early. the sonographer was having issues getting pics cos it just wouldn't stop moving! not that i'm complaining - it was amazing to see! we got to see arms and legs, tummy, heart, head - and after 40 minutes of poking and prodding, we finally got the NT measurement - came in at 0.202, which i'm sure is fine! we have some very cute pics - two that were face on, so very alien like, but gives a clear indication of the face. the other couple are gorgeous profile shots. i had to empty my bladder at one point to get clearer images, then lay on my side - and even then, the little bugger wasn't cooperating too much! it was such an amazing experience though - i'm so pleased hubby was there. went back to my bro's place and the gremlin got it's first present. Daddy is a staunch Geelong fan, so first present from Uncle P is a Geelong singlet - in a size 6/8 - it's gonna fit for aaaaaaaaaages!
well, must away. have to go and photoshop a profile pic. we're designing our own cards this year - Gremlin with a santa hat (if i can) on the front of the card! need to get them ordered in a hurry though!
for it to not be a problem. I read that 1 in 3 women experience spotting during the first 12 weeks.
to everyone
