Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - Sept/Oct 2007

[Ltl Panda]

Hi Girls

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!!!!

Kimbe, you look like you did a little more than the regular busy bee.

Sazzafrazz, it must feel so surreal going in to the baby’s room, so looking forward at starting ours. DH is trying to prepare the garage so we can turn it in to the gym room so we can start on the babys room…I just feel like we are running out of time, keep telling him we are half way through the pregnancy and wee need to get a move on things a lot faster.

Mako, it just feels so close now for you, I am so excited….

Sonya, great news on the bloods….. now just sit back and enjoy.

As for me, baby’s moves are more obvious and I am really enjoying them …..

Wow you girls were busy in here last night lol.

First of all I want to wish Ltl Panda and Kotare a very happy birthday. I hope you are both having a lovely day and are being spoilt rotten

Jo I know what you mean about just going with the flow with the birth plan but I definately DON'T want forceps or the suction thingy used on my baby. They just look way too harsh and seeing the effects they have on bubs heads is just awful (personal opinion) so I want to make sure that the midwives and ob know thats how I feel. As far as everything else goes I"m just pretty much happy to go along with what ever happens.
As far as work goes I do 5 shifts a week but that will increase to about 7 shifts when I go back after the school hols until I finish. They are quite short but it certainly takes it out of me lately. I'm getting very tired very easily atm too.

Panda The movements are great aren't they? I love feeling my little one move around although sometimes I can be taken off guard when he digs into my ribs lol.

Sazz I too was being told not to buy anything for our baby. It used to annoy me so much that in the end I just told them that I am this childs mummy and I am entitled to buy whatever I want to. I also told everyone that we won't be having anything 2nd hand as this is our 1st and want everything new. This was dh's way of telling people too.

Kimbe It is easy to get carried away with the work around the house and yard. But please try to take things easy as we tend to feel the pain alot more during pregnancy as our muscles are more relaxed and its easier to hurt ourselves.

Once again nothing exciting going on here. Dh is on his way home and we are going to Sydney tomorrow to our fav restaurant for lunch as I don't know if we'll have another chance before bub arrives. So I say we may aswell go while we can

Ohhhh Mako, thanks hun.....and yes I was spoilt rotten.
Mum got me a couple of dresses for summer, one was for a Christening I have in November so was pretty wrapped with that..... Hubby got me a 2nd trimester pack at the peninsula hot springs that includes a foot soak and massage, 1 hour full body massage and a 45min facial.... that was very thoughtful of him. And what is better, our couple best friend got me another pack so I will be spilt for the next couple of months.

Been feeling a little euphoric lately, could be the hormones, but just have this great sense of well being. Can anyone else relate?
