oh that's wierd, I thought no one had responded to my lunchtime message and wondered why you were all so quiet... and here you are on a new thread! I shall stop taking it personally The one part of this whole preg thing I don't get is the cleaning element of nesting... why anyone would want to clean is beyond me. I'm with that camp English chap whose name escapes me, who said something along the lines of 'after the first six inches of dust, you stop noticing'... but then I'm a completely lazy buzzard!!!
While I was in the TWW a few weeks ago after my embryo transfer, I popped in here every now and again to get an idea of who's who in the zoo, and LondonMiss certainly made me laugh (heat pack on pubic bone!) and I was so glad that all went well with LilMiss's delivery.
So I'm about 7 weeks or so along, at my last ultrasound on Wed we heard the heartbeat so it made it all seem a bit more real, but as I've had a bit of spotting we also got the 'no sex until 12 weeks' talk.
Hopefully as you girls are experts now in what to expect, as soon as I have my next freakout (they're pretty regular these days), I'll be popping in for some advice!
Miss K, Thanks for your welcome! It is reassuring to hear that although you too had a horrible scare for a number of weeks with a blood clot it has all worked out for you. I too hope I'm in the same boat. I allowed myself to go and borrow some baby books from a local library today for the first time because I didn't want to get my hopes up to have them dashed! I had another scan today because my spotting was getting heavier but still brown (sorry if TMI) and both bubs heart beats were beating away in their separate sacs with egg yolks. I had a list of questions for my FS this time, and I asked whether he thought it was just the blood clot coming away, which he said yes, and what risk group I am in now. He said 80/20 - 80 per cent being able to take home my babies. Still another week's bed rest and another scan next Wednesday. I wish I could stop worrying; I am such a worrywort!
Hi to CK and Renee from the LTTTC thread!
Hi Londonmiss, I totally get where you're coming from with cleaning. Now that I'm UTD (plus on bed rest) all those things that used to worry me like picking up after others and putting things in their place are so totally irrelevant
Right, now warning, this might make you laugh and I don't want you rupturing something!!!
After two nights out in a row, have been feeling a bit rough so I was on the heat pack again today - same place as before... it's filled with lavender and smells lovely I assure you.. anyway, it got cold and I sent DH to put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Watched some ads, program came back on. I shouted out, isn't it done yet. Dozy plonker had only put it on for thirty minutes intstead!!! He said, I'd leave it a minute before you put it on your 'ahem'. NO **** SHERLOCK!!! Can you imagine trying to explain third degree burns on your muff (but with a distintive lavender smell) to a doctor in A&E????
Another newbie, what's in the waters in that LTTTC thread?! Welcome CK77, so nice to see another face!!
Londonmiss - hehehe, your DH is funny. Was he quite thinking straight?! How have your nights out been? And tell me the name of the bar you were thinking of passing on - DH and I are very much missing Melbourne at the moment so living vicariously through our friends still there...!
Brunette - every day brings you closer and closer. I found the first trimester just DRAGGED but the second just flew by and now there's only 8 weeks to go so keep hanging in
Miss K - I go through stages with cleaning, from being completely retentive to being complete slob, so we'll see which side wins out!!
Went to a yummy girly family lunch yesterday, was very lovely but I ate sooo much that I didn't eat any dinner and was still full when I went to bed. Okay, I MAY have found some room for some Nestle milk melts (I'm a little addicted at the moment, just dreadful
DH has just come back with my breakfast so better get up. Hope everyone is having good weekend xx
Hello all. Last night was the Emerald Pea****, it was very cool and far too hip for someone not drinking, wearing flat shoes and looking rather like a milkcow. But rather good fun people watching and observing drunkeness. DH came home about 1am with a friend both of them shouting "shhhh" at each other, then proceeded watch war films until 3am wrapped curiously in a beach towel. It was so funny it wasn't cross making, naturally I was up for a wee anyway....
But I must admit I played on the hangover this morning, we had our 4d scan and went with a friend and her toddler, who I encouraged in a game of 'lets make lots of noise' on the xylophone... ha ha ha that'll teach him But the scan was a bit rubbish, Little Miss was stubbornly curled up facing backwards. We tried: cold icy water, lots of chocolate, a walk round the park, jumping and wriggling and eventually ice on my belly to get her to walk up and shift which she did, and then promptly put her hands up over her face. So no pictures. I'm going back on Tuesday to try again as they don't charge you unless you get the pics. Had to have a bath to warm up when I got home! Lovely to see her though, she's so big, and kinda looks like a baby now and not an alien. Which is nice....
I've just had a baking frenzy. Made muffins with All Bran (the theory being I'll eat any muffin and it's a good way of getting chopped figs and some fibre down my neck without my brain going BORING), a rather nice new recipe for Cinnamon and Walnut Slice which is dead healthy except for the syrup mix that I'm about to put on the top. And we're having baked figs for pudding tonight. I suppose I ought to eat a vegetable at some point to balance all this sugar out te he he I am RAVENOUS all the time at the moment.
how are you all and what are you up to? No news from Kyra - do you think we can hope now?
Londonmiss - wow it must be so exciting to see the baby look so big, i hope you get some pics on tuesday.
Brunette - Congrats on twins honey. Hope everything goes well.
Miss K - i can't wait to go shopping!!!! I am holding off till i get close enough to 12 weeks, although i did cave and buy 2 gorgeous white singlets over the weekend. I couldn't help myself.
CK77 - Hi i freak out too with every ache, pain, cramp and odd feeling!!!!!I am slowly getting better.
I had a my 10 yr high school reunion over the weekend which was great, it is funny how no one has changed we are all just 10 yrs older!!! I am startinf to feel a little sick now but not till about 5 in the arvo and it seems to last through till mid morning. I am really tired and am going to the toilet ALOT!!!!! I am trying not to freak out everytime i feel an ache or pain just keep telling myself it is normal. I can't wait till 12 weeks gets here.
