Pregnancy after LT TTC #9

[kyrawolfe]

Oh hehe just wanted to add.. I think My son is starting to see his abnormal size as quite a fun hat trick! Most women I suppose guess hes not a day over 1.. and one of them yesterday was serving us at woolies, and she looked down at him standing there and said to him "my your standing well! And being such a good boy for your mumma!"
He looked up at her, smiled sweetly and said "yes, shes going to give me a lollipop, ive been good." she looked up at me like so i just said to her "he's 3"

hes so tiny lol.. love my little baby boy

Hi Girls.Sorry i havnt been on lately.For some reason every time i clicked the link in my email,the browser would close on me.
I see that there has been alot going on...

BOC~ I hope your bp returns to normal.I am thinking of you.Best of luck.x

EMERALD STAR~ Sorry to hear about the spotting but please try and be positive.I had spotting for 2 whole weeks when i was pregnant with my son who is now 12,and this pregnancy i had light brown spotting at 5 weeks 5 days then again at 8 weeks.Each time it was only a smear on the tissue paper but like you,was in tears,convinced it was all over.I am now 16.5 weeks now.Just relax on the couch and do some positive thinking.I have you in my thoughts.My ob also said that as long as it is not bright red,soaking a pad or with cramping,its almost always fine.I hope your bub sticks.xxxx

Loula~ Does your ob know why you have continued spotting for so long? Have you had your scans yet to see your bub?


I have my next ante natal this Thursday and am hoping to get another scan as my mum is coming with me.
I am still using my rented doppler...oh i love it.Every 2-3 days i sit down in a quiet place to hear my babies heartbeat...nothing is sweeter!
Have just been out to the baby warehouse to check out prams.The pram i want is $1499..... i think i will have to find something less expensive.My budget was $550 for a pram.
DH and i were disagreeing over crib colours.I want white as we are fitting the baby in with us and our room is dark and small hence wanting lighter furniture but he wants the really dark timber,which i do love but will make our room look cramped and gloomy.
We left the store with nothing,needless to say.
I even found...get this!... a cot sheet set with valance,bumper etc on the net for .......$900!!!!!!! It was lovely but $900!!!!! Aaaaahhh if only i was rich! Hehehe.

Has anyone else started buying for bub? My friend bought a crib,pram and car seat for a total of $300 of ebay.Bargain hunter,i reckon!

Just a quick hi to the mummys and their bubs too.Hope your little ones are bringing you all the joy in the world.xx

Emerald star -=- Hope things are looking up for you hun

BOC-=- Let us know how you go.. hopeing you'll be home from hospy soon and waiting a few more weeks before any more big news

Lise -=- I hear you about going crazy sitting aruond the place! It just so happens that at the same time the thought of being on our feet too long in action is mortifying at this point LOL yes my son definately knows all too well how cute he is.. and he uses it every day to get away with murder!


Wantbaby#2 -=- Gee that pram does sound a bit steep!! and $900 for a cot sheet set... gee I dont think Id pay that much even if I had the money LOL.. We got our cot for $300 on sale with a matress as well and the pram was 300 too.. I hear what your saying.. When you have dark themed walls etc dark wood would really bring on the gloom.. our cot is that dark wood but our walls are creamy white and we have white see through curtains and plenty of light in the house.. so it really just kindof contrast the room and gives it a nice airy feeling. We had a white cot for our son and it was very nice looking in the house we were in at the time which like you was more dark featured.. so Im with you on this one!

AFM -=- Not feeling all that hot today.. I cancelled going to my gf's 22nd bday bbq and stayed at home feeling miserable.. Felt bad because DS was looking forward to playing with her daughter.. But I have massive backache today and a huge stomach ache to fit.. My head feels all heavy and out of place and My whole body is acheing.. It doesnt feel like a flu or anything but I dont really know what is going on..

Morning all. I did write a great long response yesterday but it disappeared and then I was too irritated to do it again. Stupid really why IT winds us up so much!

Emerald Star - I can't really add much to the excellent advice you've had above. I too sadly had a miscarriage and it was bright red - cut your finger red - so don't worry about any brown stuff. Just sounds like some womb renovations for the new occupant

BOC - It must be deadly dull in hospital, but I hope it's done the trick and your BP is normal again. My BF was in hospital last year for a month with placenta praevia and she watched the whole box set of Sex and the City. By the end, I think irritation with Carrie was putting her BP up....

Everyone else hello. Lise, I know what you mean about going out. I both look forward to it, and then can't wait to get home and put my jim jams on. I was supposed to be going for some drinks last week with DH's work mates, and he rang and said it was a "standing up pub" and heaving that I might not enjoy it and I got really upset at not going out, even though my head was telling me I'd have hated standing up for hours. How illogical. So he's taking me somewhere I can sit down and talk to people instead. I do think we need to get some going out in now... otherwise it'll feel like a year or more without stepping outside the door!

It's lovely and cool here at 7am but I think today is going to be a stinker. Yuk. Can't wait for the weather to break tomorrow. Tomorrow is D day and the furbaby goes off to do her job. It's a miracle Melbourne hasn't been flooded with all my blubbing. But on the up side, I hope not to be up at 6.58 on a sunday morning for at least another four months!

anyway, I'm blathering. I hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend. x

Loula~ Does your ob know why you have continued spotting for so long? Have you had your scans yet to see your bub?

Thanks for asking I have a subchronic hemorrhage and although it looked small at my 7 week scan it looked a little bigger at 12 weeks, i was having weekly scans (after every gush) but wont get another now till i check in with my ob on the 10/03. then my 20 week scan on the 1/4.

with regards to buying things we havent started yet but i know everything i want lol i have to wait till march/April till my pram comes into the country but they keep seeling out in the states, it a baby jogger city select, four wheels and so many ways to set it up. what pram are you looking at?

we are going to borrow the bassinet, high chair from family but the cot and pram i wanted new. after waiting all these years! we are also going to use cloth nappies and that is about the only things i have been buying.

Is anyone from here going to the melb baby show on the 5/6/7 March?

Hope you are all doing well, will hope to get to know you all a little better over the next few days xx

[BOC]

Hi girls just a quickie. Hope you're all having a fab weekend!

I'm stuck in hospy another night my BP came down yesty and they said I'd prob go home today but then it went back up again overnight so I ain't going nowhere! Oh well at least the food's not too bad, not great but better than airline food

anyway enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

[saph204]

Boc hope you are behaving, 3 days of rest for me in hossy and then they induced me. But I was a couple of weeks further along than you. Have my fingers crossed for you that you can go home.

[Mindhugs]

Smithy - I remember you from last year, and the moment you got your BFP!!! So great to hear you have given birth to a beautiful baby. Well done girlfriend!
