Pregnancy after LT TTC #10

[BOC]

Oomithy, this Nanny business??? Did I miss something? Was one of your girls preg too?

[LondonMiss]

Hello all. I'm awake again with the all night engineering works on the tram stop outside our house and dreaming of taking a kalashinikov into Yarra Trams unless they stop soon... I just want to sleep at night... I want to cry with frustration

I hope you are all well and had good weekends. Wishes - make sure you practice with the portacot. My friends used theirs on NYE when they slept here, and I kid you not it took four adults about 8 hours to get the damn thing down.... admittedly 3 with hangovers and not v practical me... ! ha ha ha

Boc~ Glad to see your pics on facebook.How is the breastfeeding going?He is such a cutie,but im sure you know that already
Londonmiss~ Im with you on the noise front.We have had jackhammers,cement trucks and everything else down the back of our house for the past 3 weeks.I think the neighbours are doing extensions or building a swimming pool or something.We live on a sloping land which leads down to the georges river so there are about 4 houses behind us which are hidden by trees so i cant see whats going on.The noise is very annoying and the inteference causes our HD and internet to cut out at times.They however dont work at night so i can sleep,but start very early and it goes on all day so i cant hear the tv or concentrate on my sculpting.
Lise~Hope your doing well.
Everyone else...belly rubs to all and to those that have finished baking their buns...kisses to bubs.

Im missing my DH.He is STILL working 4 hrs away down the coast.He has been home for 3 days in 3 weeks.He comes home on Tuesday night and then we will have to start moving with the 5 days he has off.We were supposed to move last weekend but that didnt happen.DS and my mum,have been packing things for me but its so stressful.
As for baby things,im currently scouring the net for inspiration on designing a nursery and finally have my ideas sorted.Im going to do a vintage/shabby chic theme for my little baby girl.I am having everything white~ sleigh cot,the drawers have had their vintage style glass knobs ordered and i am buying a miniature cane pram for her vintage style dollies to sit in for decoration.I found a beautiful patchwork/floral bedding set from the states which is just devine.Im very excited to start decorating.
Im also hping when DH arrives home,to finally pick a name!!!!
Peanut has been kicking and turning alot and sometimes so hard they startle me.Usually at night,she is busiest so i sit on the couch and just watch and feel for an hour or two.
I have my app on Thursday (another $950) so will ask about the weird pulling pain i feel behind my belly button when i sneeze.I read that the area behind the belly button doesnt stretch so it can feel kind of strange but i also had a hernia years ago and have a laparoscopy scar too so that could explain things.
Well today im doing nothing at all.Im going to be lazy,watch tv and do jacks**t. Enjoy your day girls.

SAMMIE~ How is Colt doing now??? I hope he is still continuing to grow and be strong.Please let us know.Thanks xxxx

Hi Ladies, I hope you don't mind me jumping in.

We're expecting our first bub after 4+ years TTC and eventually IVF. We're blessed with a pretty normal pregnancy so far (Although I did have severe OHSS at the start and spent a week or so in hospital) but all that's behind us now. We have our 20 week scan coming up on April 1st.

Just wanted to say Hi.

Congrats Smithy on becoming a nanna. You will have such a great relationship with your grandson!

wantbaby#2 i seem to be having a hard time choosing nursery decorations. Might have to spend some quality time on the internet and hopefully get inspired.

Ninah welcome. Soooooo wonderful to hear success stories. Great to hear that you have had a good pregnancy so far. Only 3 more sleeps to your scan!!

Ninah - welcome to the madhouse no personal problems to be hidden here.

Oh I'm so excited just opened a huge package from ecochild. PVC free (I think that's it anyway!!) baby changer, cloth nappies and disposables, creams and god knows what, cotton wool and all sorts. There really isn't anything like a nice big parcel to cheer you up!!! Unfortunately rather got in the way of my essay writing... oops.

At the risk of sounding an alcoholic, wouldn't it be nice if you could just have one or two 'joker cards' to play whilst pregnant, and be able to switch the baby on to back up supply for 12 hours or so. I don't want to drink a bottle of vodka, but two or three glasses of decent shiraz would be nice... with a nice bit of soft blue cheese, a soft egg and a whole camembert. (oink oink) I'll stop now, I'm making my own mouth water.

I don't think it's possible to nest more. I even tidied all our papers last week, including 4 tax returns (UK and Aus for me and DH) and sorting out all the little hidy holes for crap that I have about the house. I'm dying to paint but I can't...

how are you all?

london miss~ alcohol? I am craving for a can of coca cola.I wont even drink that! luckily i cant stand the smell of alcohol or cheese.Actually,cheese is the one thing i definately cannot stand the sight or smell of.Its funny how many foods you cant indulge in whilst pregnant.I bought a Pampas frozen lemon meringue last week and forgot about the raw egg in the meringue.I ate a small slice leaving half the meringue on the plate and was still a nervous wreck afterwards.In fact i cried all night and the next day thinking i had caused terrible issues..LOL.Everyone i spoke to later said i had NOTHING to worry about as it is cooked at the factory plus i cooked it for 45 minutes to reheat anyhow.
Mum thinks there are too many things out there being written,that only scare pregnant women to death.Basically to have a safe pregnancy,you must be in a coma where you are away from everything! She said she ate cheesecakes,custard etc and even painted my crib herself and im still here.I think its scary reading so many things.Women have been having healthy babies for centuries and i bet there werent any health warnings like there is now.Im still careful...actually beyond paranoia but at the same time,i know its silly...i just cant get past it and so continue to scrub my fruits/vegies clean,avoid mayo on my chicken burger,and even avoid chocolate with peanuts in it...the list does go on,and on and on ....LOL
