I always get in here and apologise for being so slack, so I'm not going to worry this time - you already know how useless I am! I have been working my backside off though (well, it's still growing actually) and have just been too tired to reply.
MH - you are making me feel so disorganised. My nursery is a VERY long way from being ready - I keep the door shut so I don't get the guilts every time I walk past. Baby clothes - I think they might be in my mum's roof??? And a bag packed - wow! You are on top of things girl. Good on you. Hope your cruisy holiday feeling lingers
Farmgirl - phew! Congratulations on your great scan today. Now, enjoy the next few days of bliss before the next bout of paranoia sets in
JBM - can't believe your mum's reaction. It's hard to make any sense out of it. Lucky you have your sister to get excited with. And us xo
Possums - Nice work on the GD results! Can't help at all with the clexane problem though, sorry. I did a calmbirth course last time and loved it - isn't it so interesting! I have to try and find the CDs and start practising again (great - another thing to try and fit in!). Hope you feel better on a bit of iron. I take floradix which doesn't um, block me up at all. It's liquid from the health food shop
Bex - good luck on monday. Sorry to hear you are feeling great with no sickness Like everyone else said - I'm sure it's all fine!
Grub - I have an image of you waddling - you poor thing. But you are NEXT IN LINE!!! It is so so so close now. Ahhhhhhh - are you nervous? Or just too tired to feel any anxiety? (Squeeze, hold, relax - you've got me started on the pelvic floors now - thanks)
Oneday - which OB did you see? I have seen Dr Porteous a few times and find her lovely. She seems to have a really good attitude and not just treat you as a number. I think with going public you have to make sure you take charge of your own care and really make your wishes heard, but they are generally pretty responsive and appreciative of it (in my massive experience of one baby). Those sporadic movements are a killer for the nerves, aren't they. I even went to the hospital at 23 weeks because I was sure it was all over. I just looked like a paranoid preggo though. Hope you get some more jabs soon!
Aimee - I haven't even thought about a name yet either. I know it's a very very important thing to do and I must really get to it, but I haven't even opened a book yet. The most research I've done is reading the names in movie or TV show credits. And I think remembering your little would-be-baby is a beautiful idea.
Kelly D - how do you find the time to drop in here? Glad your boys are bringing you happiness - if not a lot of sleep! Thanks for the advice re the chiro too
Kass - Good luck with your scan
Trishy - you poor thing. Is there any easing up of your symptoms in sight? Guess I don't need to tell you that it will all be worth it though xoxo
AFM - not sure if I told you that they put me onto insulin last week for my GD. Bummer! It's not the jabbing that I have a problem with - I've done plenty of that. I was just worried because they will almost certainly induce me early again. BUT, after talking to the OB at the hospital, they might consider letting me go a little bit longer this time if scans show normal growth and healthy bub, so might not stress too much yet. I think I might start seeing an acupuncturist again soon as well. She might be able to do something to bring things on naturally if they start talking induction.
I was a bit annoyed at DH's reaction to it all - he was saying that it was pretty good because it was quick and we didn't have to worry about giving birth on the side of the road and all those worries, but he didn't seem to get that I want those normal worries this time. Anyway - I've rambled enough. At the end of the day I just want a healthy baby - however it has to happen.
Oh no - one more thing - did anyone do birth courses or books or any preparation for baby number 2? Am feeling extremely underprepared.
Like everyone else said - I'm sure it's all fine!
