Gosh I haven't been in here for a while now. Just lurking in the shadows keeping an eye out for announcements.
OneDay - I was told it's either one or the other, not both. Does anyone know if the $5,000 baby bonus is means tested? I loathe ringing Centrelink and often find you come away none the wiser!!!
Possums - hi there. Great to see you are finishing up work. Yay! Now you can concentrate on relaxing and get nesting Did you find out anymore about the Clexane? I had to start jabbing in the top of my thighs a couple of weeks ago as I can't get a pinch of fat on my belly anymore. My OB is not too concerned about the injections. He said I will stop them 2 days before CS only. And should I go into labor sooner he says it's also ok as there is something they can pump into me to help with the thin blood and still do an emergency CS. I'm interested to hear what your Dr's are saying though.
DR - I hope you are relaxing too in the run up to having your bub. Very important! I feel your concern over income too.
Kass - I got some butterfly type movements very rarely at your stage. By 20 weeks there was well and truly something moving around in there every day. And now, it sometimes hurts when I get an elbow or foot in an inappropriate place!!!
Bugs - have you had your little bundle of joy yet? You're next, anyday or now even!!!
Kaybee - strap yourself in luvvy cause it's you after Bugs!!! How exciting! I love hearing about the arrivals!
AFM - Not too much to tell. Still suffering from sciatica on and off, which means my sleeping is all over the place. I think I'm in training for sleepless nights already!!!. Tummy is getting so tight, but no stretch marks yet (fingers crossed big time!!!). I'm getting excited for my baby shower, which is in a couple of weeks. I have a fellow BB girl coming along too, which makes it extra special. Thank god for the recent sales, it's taken the edge off the cost of ALL the stuff you need to buy for a newborn. I've received a lot of hand me down clothes in good condition for my bub, so have been washing washing washing. Sorting out the sizes etc. It's driving me a little around the twist, but it's good to be organised. Then there's the breast pads, nipple ointment etc etc that you need to pack in your hospital bag. Phew! I had no idea how much was required to be prepared for this. Naive is the word I am looking for
Hi to all the girls I have missed. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. It's looking like beautiful weather up here and it's DHs birthday so we have a few things on. Just hard to remember to keep resting and taking it easy................
