Right, going to attempt to do some personals. If it all goes wrong, I shall scream!
Lise - how in the name of God is your flight costing so much???? Are you going by private jet or something?! Via London and Paris and Monte Carlo? All I can say is make sure you get a points card before you go on that flight... if it's qantas you'll fly for years on that!
Sammiejam - that's actually quite scary. I think mine might have it already. On the subject of a show - I have no idea how much of a show a show is!! Did you ring the hospital? What did they say?
Wantbaby - I had an official scan last week and we had a short 3d scan without us asking for it or being told that info... I'm coming to the conclusion that insurance companies rule the world and that's why we're all getting so cautious about anything. I bet people said the same about 2d scans in the beginning! So I'm not sure, but interested if you hear anymore.
BOC - how bloody exciting! Only a few days to go... it's funny when I started here and I was 5 weeks, I simply could not comprehend being 20 weeks let alone 38. It's dead strange to be half way there already! Look after yourself for the next two weeks won't you. No running around!
Wantbaby - congratulations on your news.... that's wonderful. You must be pleased!
Wishes - and finally! About blumming time!!!! Glad you could join us... and a very warm welcome. All we need to do now is locate Persephone MIA and then we'll be away!
AFM. Well it's been a bit of a week for me. After the gastro/tiredness incident earlier in the week I've been taking it steady. Started getting pains in my stomach yesterday and still had them this morning, so I rang the RWH, and they told me to head in. I did, having sent off fussing DH who was on his way to the airport, and they checked me out. I was TOTALLY impressed with the hospital, and worth going for that reason alone! They had my file ready, I was in and out in an hour and my mind completely at rest. V glad I went, especially now I know that my pain is "normal" and I should just suck it up (that's not quite what they said but I paraphrase Biggest Loser style!). Then just been out with the team for lunch and we had a curry. I think I managed four mouthfuls before realising that 'the issue we don't mention' might be resolving itself .... in a curry house. Oh well. Even four mouthfuls have got little Miss kicking so that's good now I'm looking at the underside of my desk which looks very tempting for a two minute kip... hope you are all well and have lovely weekends ladies x
Our little miracle is now an thankyou girls for your support during this short time!!! I wish you all nothing but a wonderful rest of your pregnancy xxoo
You poor thing, that totally sucks! I have been in that boat too. Just take solace in each other and the comfort of family & friends. Sending a prayer up to the big man upstairs that you can be joining us again real soon, for good this time.
Miss K~ I am soooo very sorry to hear of your news.My heart goes out to you and DH.
London miss~ hello,that makes 3 of us expecting girls around the same time.You ,Lise and Myself.how exciting.have you got your names picked? We have a list of about 8 names (all mostly french) but cant pick which one we want for first and second names.It so hard.
Smithy~I have started my 'pink' shopping now.its so much fun.Viewed the latest pics of Charlie....she is such a pretty little girl.I cant believe how much she has grown already.
boc~ I bet your counting down like crazy now....how exciting for you to know the day you will meet your precious bundle.
To all the newbies....hoping everything is going well for you all.x
To the mums with bubs...i am sure your are enjoying your little bundles.Is anyone clucky yet for another?? haha..... i already am and still have a while to go.
Well im going to have a nanna nap now.Im very tired today.x0x
LondonMiss - I know it took me a while to finally come into this thread, sorry about that. I know what you mean about locating Persephone1 though. I have looked around different threads, but can't seem to find her. Seph, if you're reading, I hope you are well and everything is still going ok.
Miss K - I am so so sorry to hear your news. I cannot even imagine how you must be feeling right now. Sending all my prayers your way.
Wantbaby - How exciting that you're having a girl. I also have secretly wanted a girl for a long time, but am also very excited to be having a little boy. I'm sure I will be hoping and praying like crazy that for #2 baby, we have a girl.
Emerald Star - Congrats on the scan this week. It is so unbelieveably reassuring to finally see that little heartbeat so you must be ecstatic. Hope you are feeling well and not suffering too much from morning sickness.
BOC - How exciting that you only have a couple of weeks to go. Wishing you all the best.
Sammiejam - You are most certainly not the only one losing the plot. I have also had plenty of negative thoughts throughout the pregnancy so far. I'm just really paranoid in general, and am terrified that something bad is going to happen. Take care hun.
AFM - nothing much to report actually. Still plodding along. Have just started looking around at baby shops, and will hopefully look to buy the big things (pram, car seat, nursery furniture etc) in the next couple of weeks. It will be pretty exciting to get those things though because it might just start to feel real. I know that sounds pretty strange, but even at nearly 21 weeks pregnant, I'm still thinking that it's not really real. I was hoping to have being feeling a lot more baby movement by now, which probably hasn't helped my paranoia. Apparently my placenta is at the front though, so I've been told that could impact on the level of movement that I feel because basically the placenta could be in the way and may be cushioning any kicks from the baby.
Well anyway I'd better be off. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend.
Wishes~ Regarding the movements and the placenta,the fact that it is in the front WILL cushion your bubs movements.your little one will be kicking away so try not to worry.My peanut has been going strong since 17 weeks and my placenta is at the back so i feel everything but some days she is quieter so i just use my rented doppler to reassure myself.
Secretly wanting a girl too? I already have a son so now i will have one of each which is nice.My son is 12 and is my world.he is very,very close to me and i have heard that girls are closer to their dads until they are older.I look forward to making dolls for my daughter (im a doll artist) and sharing that interest with her,as i have had many years of matchbox cars,football,soccer,cricket,ant farms etc...hahahha.
Miss K - so so sorry honey. I hope you and DH are looking after yourselves and find the strength soon to continue your journey
LondonMiss - we're basically flying all over the country - from here to Vancouver to Calgary to Toronto to Halifax (so I can go to Prince Edward Island!) and then catching the train back through Montreal and Quebec City and flying back again to Vancouver. So a few flights there...!
BOC - wow, can't believe you'll be holding your little (or maybe not so little!) one in just over a week, so so exciting!!! Must be quite a surreal feeling to know the date your baby is going to be born!
Wantbaby - more pink There's certainly a few of us now after the big run of blue. And yes, there are so many gorgeous pink clothes out there, even DH likes buying little dresses etc!
Wishes - welcome on board, I wondered where you were!! Hope you have fun doing your big ticket item shopping! I'm still waiting for all my items to arrive, can't wait to set the nursery up.
sammiejam - it certainly helps a little doesn't it to know there are plenty others out there experiencing the same as you. Not in a nasty way, but just so you don't feel so alone and a bit crazy and abnormal.
Emerald Star - I was a bit sad too at having to leave my nice IVF clinic, but I like the staff at my OB just as much so you'll be fine
kyra - hehehe, how can you be clucky when you haven't even had this one yet?! We'll remind you of this in a couple of months and see if you're still feeling the same way!
Hello to everyone else - apologies if i've missed you. Still no computer and scrolling back on my phone takes ages...
I've got my next OB appointment on Tuesday which i'm looking forward to as I have a few questions for her. Mainly, the last couple of days I haven't really felt the Chicklet moving around/kicking much which of course has had me completely worried so i've been Googling like a mad woman. Did anyone else have this at this stage? I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow. She has moved a little, just not much in comparison to before. But then I have an anterior placenta which I understand is supposed to 'hide' most of the movements so not sure what's going on. Anyway, i'll be glad to ask my OB and see what she thinks.
Otherwise i've been busy playing with my new camera! You might remember I was lusting after one recently, and with DH working incredibly long hours the last couple of weeks i've had heaps of time to research, and last week decided to bugger it and buy one. I lurve it, though I really don't know how to use it properly so i'm tring to read all about it!
Hope you're all feeling well ladies and enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon. Belly rubs to all xx
Morning all. I'm back at work (all together now BOO HISS) but on the up side I am feeling fine this morning, and even better the boss isn't here. Thank goodness the doc was right about the temporary pain! I could not have done that for four more months.
Not too many personals, but Lise - what camera did you get? I'm definitely going to get a new one before Little Miss G arrives and am interested in any feedback you have. My mum's just bought a new one and it's broken after three months, so def not that one!!
Now def tmi alert. I just don't think it is possible that I could fart much more than I am at the moment. It's as if 95% of my total body weight is made up of it at any one time... PLEASE tell me that it's not just me... are you all being polite??
Lise/ wishes - must be a bummer having the placenta at the front, although better than being at the bottom I suppose. Will it always mask the movement, or just to begin with? DH felt his first movement this morning and it really freaked him out. I must admit it's wonderful, although marginally less so when she's booting away for an hour between 1-2am. I read somewhere (but can't remember where) that they have quiet weeks where they are growing and that takes up all their energy so they kick less. I feel a bit like we have 2 quiet weeks and then one growth week, and so on, and I'm conscious that I eat more in that week esp carbs. Maybe just me though. Hope the ob puts your mind at rest. Hope you all have a good week to follow a good weekend.
Just popping my head in to say . Hope you all had a great weekend! I had a good one, DH is back home now and I had my baby shower on Sat. Got lotas of lovely little things and *shock horror* I've actually cleaned them up and put them away already
While I was at my baby shower my Dad finished off the nursery for me, so we're all done now! I'm totally in love with it, could sit in there for hours just staring at the walls Here are some photos, although they don't do it justice. We went with an "Under the Sea" theme as our house is blue throughout and I didn't want to change just one room so wanted a kind of neutral theme. Log In | Facebook
Anyway just wanted to say hi to you all and hope you're all having a happy Monday!
yay for you being finished the nursery hun i know what you mean about sitting in there and just looking at everything ,not long now and bubs will be in there ,trust me im counting down your days now im soooo excited lol.
It has been some time since i posted in this thread but i now have a bit more time on my hands so am looking forward to keeping up with you all.
Plodding along here at 18 weeks. Have my scan on Friday and really really looking forward to finding out if we have a pink or blue bundle of joy!! Have had a nasty cold last five days so trying to get over that but other than the cold, have been feeling brilliantly which i am very grateful for.
wishes -=- Getting all the big things is so exciting! Especially when you have the money for them ;p hahaha! I bought jelly beans cot and it took nearly a month to get to us.. But when It did I couldnt help but force hubby to put it together straight away and make it up with the sheets and blankets then stand over it imagining our next lil bundle in there hehehe.
BOC -=- So close now! I went to have a peek at your pics but it wouldnt let me in I saw your profile belly shot tho very cute!!! Anyway I added you if you were wondering haha Arnt baby showers the best! I pigged out so bad at mine and the amount of cute lil things you get you cant help but organise them all the moment everyone leaves!
AFM -=- Im really feeling it this last week.. So tired and big.. been peeing like crazy and sleeping every chance I get.. I swear hubby went through a nesting phase yesterday!! (which was fantastic for me btw cuz the whole house got cleaned and steralised top to bottom while i slept!) I think our son is clueing on alot more now too.. hes been acting very strange lately very clingy to me and almost sookie like.. It keeps occuring to me just how close we are and I get so impatient and excited at the same time
Well I will pop on a bit later and see how you all are.. belly rubs to all
thanks for checking up on me LondonMiss, all was fine at the OB. The chicklet was moving about normally from yesterday but I asked her about it anyway and she said it had probably just moved into a different position etc etc. But I also asked her what I should do if it happened again and how long I should wait before allowing myself to panic (well not in those words but you get what I mean...!) Anyway she gave me some info so feeling much better now. I'm booked in for the glucose test and my anti-D at 28 weeks, not looking forward to either of those.
LondonMiss - we got a Canon, it's a 'bridge' camera so not an SLR (don't know how to use one!) but has lots of the same features and can take great movies! Now I just need to learn how to get the best out of it, lucky we still have 3 months before the chi klet arrives!
Kyra - very nice of DH to do some house cleaning, hope he continues to look after you like this!
Hi Paula - hope you're going okay other than your cold. And so exciting to have your scan, we seem to be having a run of pink lately so will be interesting to see which way
you go!
Hello to everyone else, hope you're having a good start to the week. I've had a lovely day off with DH and we're off for dinner tonight.
Belly rubs to all xx
BOC - I couldn't get in either to look at your nursery pics...

Cant attemp persies as fingers are so swollen and aching. (as are feet, legs, arms etc etc)
Happy to see everyone is travelling along well with fun baby showers etc
I just CANT BELIEVE Boc and I only have a week and a half to go!!! I remember way back in the day when we both got our bfp's and it really doesnt seem like long ago at all! I am excited and nervous and relieved all at the same time. My depression has lifted alot, thankfully, and I finished the one last thing I needed to do for Lil Blue's room which was paint the bookcase. The nursery has a cute bumblebee theme, I will post the pics as soon as I take them.
Do ya know what? I STILL can hardly believe this is all going to end with a BABY. The IVF finally worked! Its a freakin' MIRACLE! I look around sometimes and it doesnt seem real... I never thought I would be so blessed. My mama is arriving from the states next wednesday and she tells me she is already armed with her "good ole southern mid-wifery skills and a bottle of castor oil." I think it may finally sink in THAT ITS REALLY HAPPENING when she gets off the plane. The castor oil will never make it through customs thank god LOL.
I am so thankful that over through all the trials and tribulations of the last year I have had all you lovely girls right here at the end of my fingers. Each and every one of you is an angel. Thank you all so much. The intewebz can be such a wonderful thing
thankyou girls for your support during this short time!!! I wish you all nothing but a wonderful rest of your pregnancy xxoo
