Airline, I felt totally normal and unpregnant for 2 weeks (maybe weeks 7-9), and I'm very "in tune" with body (ie paranoid). Just wanted you to know that, in case it helps. GL for BT!
Just reading this thread makes me feel hungry! Then sick! Sounds like there are some great meals going around. Last night I made a sausage casserole with rice which was yum. We are moving in two months and I have decided that it is time to start decluttering the freezer. Considering we have 3 tubs of cookie dough in there (preschool fundraiser) I think I had better get into the baking!!!
Of course our big dilemma with moving is this: I won't be far enough along to see the sex of the baby (I will be 17 weeks - is that far enough???). So the house has 3 bedrooms. So now we don't know which to paint pink and which to paint blue. As two of the kids will be sharing, and one room is bigger than the other. So I would like to know what we are having to paint before we move in. So now don't know if we should just put DD and DS in together (leave room cream) put new bub in own room and just paint in a few years when bub moves in with sister or brother. Oh the dilemma. Any tips would love to hear, especially about kids sharing as ours have their own rooms at the moment.
The other thing is I would rather not find out the sex of the baby, would rather wait for suprise. DH wants to know to be organised. But if we are not painting straight away we don't need to find out anyway....
Morning sickness went for a day then came back with a vengence. Plus tired as DS has croup and up alot at night. Can feel sore throat and sinus problem returning. Can't wait until two weeks time when current casual work is finished and back to just one day a week.
Now how is everyone going?
Airline - I hope that the blood test shows great levels. I agree it's stressful when you don't 'feel' preg at this stage because you don't have any other evidence. Fingers crossed for you.
Leabie - thanks for the tip on the licorice. Haven't had any since being preg but won't be now! Hopefully they never do this kind of research on chocolate.
Brunette - agree totally with the 'mum sayings' I always let them slip and then think "I sound just like mum". I think it's one of those things too - you don't totally get your mum until you have your own kids!
To everyone - don't forget to moisturise LOL! And eat too...
Maggie, I think they can tell from 16 weeks on, but it depends on the machine used and whether bub is cooperating. I think it makes sense to have bub on their own at first so they're not waking their sibling (and vice versa), but don't have any experience to back that up...
Juniper, thanks for posting the link to the recalls page. You wouldn't believe it, but the few things that we have bought for our twins so far were bought at the recent Big W sale. We were soooo close to choosing the Dymple babysuits but bought the Bonds ones instead! Can't believe they've been recalled due to the studs potentially coming loose and being a choking hazard!
So wonderful to see this thread continuing to grow and grow however makes it difficult to keep up with everyone.
To all who have ms hope it clears up soon but to make you feel better just remember that its all for a good cause..Haha
I am still here. Tomorrow is my official due date but not feeling any different so not sure what to think. I have an OB appointment on Monday so will decide what our next step is. Cant believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone. I know it is hard for all who are still in the early stages to believe but it truly does just fly by!! It just occurred to me a couple of hours ago that this will be mine and DH last weekend alone! Amazing! After so long, we are on the verge of finally having our little girl in our arms.
Oh Paula, that's so beautiful, the last weekend you and DH being alone before having your baby girl in your arms. Makes me feel a tad teary! Can I just say, enjoy the quiet this weekend with your hubby before the little one arrives, as no doubt it will be like a whirlwind coming into the house once Tiana arrives! I'm over the halfway mark and while I can't wait to see my babies and hold them, I am already savouring my alone time, and time when it's just DH and me. I keep saying to friends and family that it's the quiet before the storm - twinpower!
Hi everyone! Well I'm a newbie to this thread with my pregnancy just confirmed this week. Very scared as my first and I'm no spring chicken... I just can't wait to make the 12 weeks! I only had the one embryo transfer, so I'm sure no twins for me, kicking myself for not asking for two. Oh well, as long as "he" or "she" is a fit and healthy bub! How lovely for you Brunette, double trouble indeed.
I'm a newbie to this thread, got my results on Wed this week. I had a day 5 frozen embryo transfer which decided to stick! Am relieved and excited and nervous all at the same time, and just like Sue, I just can't wait to make the 12 weeks! It's still all sinking in I think, and I don't actually "feel" pregnant yet so maybe that's why it doesn't feel real. Does that make sense?
I've also changed my username, I used to be Inshelligent but that was too traceable and I wanted to post anonymously!
