Thanks to LondonMiss, Lise and Paula re advice on pizza bought as opposed to eating it out.
LondonMiss, I agree with Smithy: definitely lock the door next time and maybe put in ear plugs; you do need your sleep. I've been waking up at 2 in the morning (pessary time; lucky me) and being able to get back to sleep by 4, but after that it's just tossing and turning till I get out of bed at about 5ish. So if I don't have a sleep in the pm (which I often don't get due to people turning up to do quotes or installs for new house) I am an extra grumpy moody so and so!
Lise, let us know what you think of SATC2, if you go. It goes for almost 3 hours! This Friday for my jailbreak I am thinking of getting mum to take me to a movie, but she hates SATC. If we don't see that, I was thinking of the movie Harry Brown. Only 110 mins.
Wantbaby2, Not long to go now till Monday. It's good you're keeping busy. Plus you've done all you can to help by eating KFC etc; you lucky duck
Paula, youch, that sounds very painful with all that grinding below. Will you get a scan at your obs appt Tuesday to see if Tiana is moving into position?
Hi Ladies,
Thanks for your support. My Hcg came back today showing nearly 6,000. As the bleeding stopped pretty much right after it started the nurses said it was just one of those things and don't really have an explanation for it. I guess we'll know more when we have the first scan next week.
I am so run down at the moment- I have two cold sores (very painful) I've had the last two days off work and I've just been sleeping. Don't know how I'll cope when I go back to work tomorrow.
Maggie
Maggie - those are wonderful figures, congratulations and welcome. Let me know when you have a due date and I'll put you on the Big Bellies List.
Diverging slightly from said bellies, but I saw Robin Hood and that was rather silly fun, but a friend dragged me to see Prince of Persia which I was rolling my eyes about and thought it was going to be awful, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, and not just because Jake Gyllenhal (sp?) looks as fit as a butchers dog (which lets be honest, he does. Arms, is all I'll draw your attention to). so I'd see that, unless you are after something art house and clever. I'm debating going to see Letter to Juliet tomorrow, which the ads make look awful, but the trailer was rather good. And I think I'd go just for the scenery anyway. There are worse ways to spend a wet Friday afternoon!! Just checked and its not on anymore, so my options are Wog Boy2 and Back up plan. Any opinions? I'm pretty sure I'd rather put my arm in a blender than see WG2, but willing to persuaded if you all say its the funniest thing you've seen ever.
Maggie - Congratulations and those new results are just wonderful. I wish I could just stay home and rest/sleep for the next few weeks. It's amazing how much work goes into growing a little miracle.
Brunette - You poor thing, that DH needs to sit down with the dr and be told flat out to drop the topic!! You must be so worried already without being pressured. My scan is next Monday night and DH will definitely be there. Despite being a CEO, he's made it to almost every appt throughout the AC journey. I am very very lucky. He's been quite cautious about the whole pregnancy so the scan might help him relax and enjoy it a bit more.
LondonMiss - Your outing and all those yummies consumed has made me hungry lol... And as for the neighbour - yep as Smithy said, get the sign out and don't answer that door!!
Paula - I can imagine how cool and reassuring scans are so hopefully I will get them often after this... but only for good reasons lol.
lise - we are all waiting for SATC2 review. Although atm, I worry about sleeping through it... DH will only go gold class lol and those chairs are comfy.
Wantbaby - That pain sounds awful, and I have to admit, the thought of separating muscles and baby bumps would make me very nervous too.
Juniper - A workmate of mine used to go and sleep in the car at lunch time every day to get through if that helps. And working from home, that sounds just divine. Comfy clothes and not having to look fabulous all the time. Hope that will work for you.
Me... tired stick really has struck and its kind of shocking really. I just didn't anticipate how really exhausting this growing a being gig is
Desperately waiting that first scan with DH so we can both feel more secure. Feeling really emotional now that I'm more tired.
What I would really like is to quit work now but that's not even remotely possible... But what a nice dream hey.
Sonya - do you have enough leave to take Tuesday and thursday afternoons off for a few weeks? Or leave early a couple of days a week? That might be enough to get you through. I had much more tiredness than sickness in the first trimester, and if its any consoltation, it completely and utterly stopped at the end of the first trimester, prob week 13/14. Not that stopped me having naps, but that was for laziness rather than urgent need!
Maggie, that's a great number! I can't wait to hear how your scan goes!
S'rose, when is your scan? I hope you don't have to wait too long. Unfortunately, DH drops me off on his way to work, but maybe if one of the company cars is sitting around I could sneak down to that? Hmmm, may try that if I get desperate.
Lol, I've been "volunteered" to attend a meeting on the Gold Coast tomorrow afternoon on behalf of one of my coworkers who will be in Rockhampton at the time. I'm really hoping the other person attending with me (different area of expertise) is happy to drive, because I don't know how I'd go with an hour drive each way at that time of day at the moment and it's a bit far to get a cab... I don't think they'll be impressed if I yawn the whole way through either...
Hello everyone! I've been MIA for a week at least I think and again so much has happened in everyone's lives.
Firstly - Big congratulations Juniper, I am so pleased your BT was positive. Sorry to hear though that you've been hit with the tiredness, I've been lucky to last past Masterchef lately!!
Also congratulations and welcome Maggie! A few of us that are early along in our pregnancy have had bleeding/spotting, but I'm sure with the proper care your FS will prescribe that everything will be a-okay for you and the bub (or bubs - is it only the one?)
Leabie - at my scan (6w3d) bub was 6.3mm so your 8.2mm blob sounds like it's a great size. I got my scan a bit earlier than the standard 7wk as I had some bleeding and was a blubbering mess wondering what was wrong. Prescription: no sex until 12 weeks - and Brunette I think it was your DH who said "we're not going to have sex for 9mths are we?" - that was the EXACT thing my DH said. After the early troubles I think we'll both probably be petrified anyway to DTD. What I can't understand is how there is a difference between having sex and having that dildo (I'm sure it's actually a highly sophisticated and technical ultrasound device) whacked up there and wiggled around.
Brunette, my pessaries are before bed and then an hour or so before getting up in the morning. However I'm not setting an alarm for the morning one, so I'm waking up to pee at about 2am, checking the time to make sure it's not 5am and time to 'pessary up'. Then I'm trying to go back to sleep, FAIL, then I finally nod off and wake up again to pee and it's around 3 or 4am so I just think bugger it and do the pessary then instead of getting up again at 5. It's really screwing around with me and I feel a bit like a zombie.
I hope you enjoy the next mad wheelchair outing with your Mum.
LondonMiss - I'd definitely be putting a sign on the front door even though your neighbour means well, you need your sleep otherwise next we'll hear your neighbour has ended up rolled up in rug and dumped in the Yarra!
Lise - the photo was great, I cannot wait to get a big belly on me! So envious of you, you look radiant!
Renee - not long now until you're out of your 1st trimester so hopefully your MS will reduce or stop altogether.
AFM, still no MS. I went for a blood test that is needed as part of the NT scan (next Tuesday, ****ting myself) and the lady drawing the blood said that I'm one of the lucky ones, but there's a big part of me that wants to experience EVERYTHING being that I've wanted this pregnancy for so long. I'm just about out of the 1st trimester so figure that if I haven't had anything by now, I'm not getting it. A workmate's wife got her NT scan a few weeks ago but got the full blown 4D thingee with it - is that normal? I'm going to some digital imaging place to get it done, whereas I think they went through the hospital to get theirs done.
I hit 33 years yesterday, so DH took me for a lovely dinner in the city, whipped out a Pandora bracelet for me, and then when we got home he pulled out a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Shop that he had hidden in the fridge. This morning I have woken up with swollen glands, sore throat and a cough so happy birthday me
LondonMiss, sorry to be a pain but can I change my due date on your list? I thought 15th December which was working back to LMP but I asked FS why he had 19th Dec and he said that conception date is different with IVF and blah blah blah (he's hard to understand at the best of times). So EDD is Sunday 19th December, so I will hit my 12 week milestone this Sunday.
Glenny, KitKat, MissK, hope all is well and apologies if I have missed anyone.
Chrissy xx

Chrissy, I have a friend who had a 4D done recently (she's due next month). I think she said there's only 2 places in the Brisbane area who do them (or it might have been 3) and they were all southside. She had hers done at a place at Greenslopes and I think she said the package includes a pg and newborn photoshoot. If I understand correctly, it's not somewhere you get referred to by a doctor - you just book it yourself. I don't have any details, but can ask.
Renee, that doesn't sound fun. I've had some nausea already, but seems to be about once a day for just a little while and is manageable so far. That's so cute that the kids draw pictures to help you feel better. I hope it does stop very soon.
Preheat oven, grease a 20-30cm tin, extend paper up sides. Mix all ingredients except butter, then stir in butter. Press into tin, cook, put topping sugar on when cold.
Big congratulations Juniper, I am so pleased your BT was positive. Sorry to hear though that you've been hit with the tiredness, I've been lucky to last past Masterchef lately!!
