Monnie OUCH!!!! with your ankle. You poor little chook. I hope its better very soon. You sound so very happy hun. And little Felix is sounding great too. I can't believe he's 4 weeks old now. Where has the time gone????
Jo I'm sorry that you are having such a busy time at work. Its not too long now untill you are finishing up so try and hang in there and know that you'll be a lady of leisure in no time ;)
Good on you for getting away for the weekend. I bet you had a lovely time.
I just had my Ob appointment and all is going well. I'm so relieved as I don't have gestational diabetes which I'm very happy about. Bubs heart beat was nice and strong, and B/P was also good. So overall everything is great. Bub is laying across my tum still but thats ok with me for a while lol.
I can't believe how fast the time is going 32 weeks tomorrow!!!!!
Hi to everyone :D
Hi all,
Glad to hear you are going well now Monnie except for your poor ankle!! I bet it scared the living daylights out of you falling while holding Felix.. well done on preserving him though!!!!
Hi Jo, glad to see you again and good on you for having a weekend away. Sorry you were feeling crap the whole time but nice to get away all the same I guess. Good advice for the rest of us.
Catch up with you all later tonight after my GP apt I hope.

Hi guys,
Glad to see everyone is doing OK - I had my appointment last night and as always a big relief to see heartbeats. Do people who this comes easy to feel the same way?
Nothing really exciting happening here - lots of people talking about the mums who are suing over getting IVF twins to me. They don't know I had IVF at work (I moved to Sydney when I was 5 weeks) and you should hear the misconceptions people have about it, its so hard for me to bite my tongue. I kind of feel like I'm letting the team down by not telling them some of the facts.
Anyway, hope you are all well. Sorry for no personals.
PS Claire - I hope you are hanging in there - I have all my fingers crossed for you. XXXX
Hi All,
As you know we moved, and broadband is not up and running yet. I got a dial-up account working, but it's very slow, so i won't be correcting any typos!!
Had 12 week scan whihc was fabulous, but sad too, as i we found out we lost a baby at 8 weeks. We didn;t know, but i am still struggling a bit with that news. DH is not willing to talk about it as he only sees the one happy, healthy bub that is still there. I will come to terms i'm sure and maybe when things quieten down here (at home) i might put my thoughts down in one of the other forums.
My sister is still staying and looks be to settling in for a while - it's hard on me and DH as she seems to be making herself really really at home. She has taken over 2 bedrooms (there are only 3 in the house!), and moves things around to suit her. Maybe i should be writing all this down in another forum too!!! IYKWIM! I guess i am getting pregnancy hormones.
Hope you guys are all well and i will try to catch up with everyones news - although dial-up is certainly making it very very slow.
Jo
Hi girls,
You all sound great which is so nice to hear.
Monnie, so nice to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the fall, that must have been a little daunting at the time. Good to hear Felix was well protected by you!
Ltl Panda, i'm still not feeling any movements and am only a week behind you, so dont stress to much matey, i'm sure bubba's playing tricks on you!!
Lis - welcome and congrat's isn't it so wonderful to hear the news of the bt result, and yeah, the hanging out with the toilet despite being yucky can also be reassuringly delightful - enjoy :)
Mako - glad to hear about the GD, i've only just read about it all and those tests and it sounds pretty risky, so i'm glad your all good - not to mention oh so close to your little man coming into the world
Marcellous - good luck on the car buying, it's such an arduous task isn't it, but also fun to be in something new - even second hand is new given they generally do that whole overall detailo and smell thing. Enjoy the search...will it be the family wagon??
For me, had my first appointment with the midwives at the hospital on monday arvo and it was so nice. Got the big show bag of goodies (i didn't know we all got that!) and have been reading something every night - found a page in one brochure that says not to stop DH from doing anything to help out - i read it out to him and had a good laugh, as it now allows me to allow him to do the breaky in bed, household chores and all the wonderful things he already does guilt free!
We heard the heart beat again which was great, it was so loud and racing away, it made me a little more reassured given i haven't felt any movement yet...am waiting with baited breath for that first flutter. Did get told i had very low blood pressure which they would need to monitor closely, but that's better that high blood pressure, so i am not too concerned just yet.
Over the weekend, we also went in and put some nursery furnishings on lay-by - cot, mattress and changetable. That was kinder cool, cause we were just looking and comparing prices but decided the bargin was too good not to get now! We are a little undecided on the whole pram issue - we've picked out the brand and style we prefer but it comes in either a 3 or 4 wheeler and i just don't know - would love to hear what you're all doing on the pram front and why.
Anyway stay well - hi to those i haven't spoken with.
Mako - so happy to hear that everything is all good with your tests & bubs is still staying put.
Clairbear - welcome & I hope your 2 sleeps go quickly for you (by the way I am 31 weeks).
Clare - it really is hard to bite your tongue sometimes when pp can be so ignorant, they just have no idea unless they have gone through it.
Kotare - hugs to you, even though you didn't know you were having twins it still must be hard for you but I am so glad that your other bub is safe & sound.
Monnie - hope you are doing ok after your fall.
Kimbe - good on you for purchasing a few things, its fun but totally confusing at times.
Hi to everyone else.

Hey Kotare,
Really sorry for your loss, it must be so difficult. Hope you and your hubby are OK.
XXXXXXXXXXX
Hi Clarebear
thought i might find you if i post in here. Big fingers crossed for both of us tomorrow, i'll be thinking of you!
Heres hopin :) HCG's in the 1000's yeeeeah
Hey, Monnie the hero, well done! I had my first OB apt a few weeks ago, and will see him again in another four. He was nice. just had a quick chat and a look at baby and that was that - not much else to do at this stage;)
Scooby & Claire, hoping you guys get some good news tomorrow!
Kotare, that must have been such a shock. But it's good news that your baby is doing well. Hope you and DH are doing ok.
Happy shopping Kimbe (and anyone else buying for bubs). I have low blood pressure too. Was wondering if it'd be a problem. I guess if I start fainting I'll find out
Great news on your test Mako - good to hear everything is going well.
How're you feeling Jo? still busy? BH still bugging you?
Good news on the heartbeats Mistickles. Do you hear them both at the same time, or do they separate them somehow?
Ok, know I"ve forgotten people, hope everyone else is doing well. :doh:
On me, i'm thinking a sedan for a car (only one kid on the way after all), but no idea what. anyway, it'll be exciting to buy something (hopefully) made this century. And not getting a tax refund - a bill! but not as a big a bill as i thought it might be. First time out as self-employed person, so really wasn't sure.
Anyway, catch you all later
Kotare I'm sorry about your loss hun. Please take care of yourself and the little one who's tucked away nice and tight in your tum. Also please know that men deal with these things differently to us women. They may seem to be unaffected by this but know that they are greiving too. Just make sure that you keep talking to each other and all will be ok ;)
Claire How did you go today? Do you have your results yet?
Kimbe Its such a big decision when buying things for bub. There is so much stuff out there hey? Just make sure you get things like the pram that will be practical for your needs. I personally went with a Beema Q which is a 3 wheeler pram. Its one of the very few approved by Choice magazine for its safety features etc. Its only available from babyco.
Monnie How is your ankle coming along? Hope you and Felix are ok.
Nothing exciting going on here atm.
Hey everyone,
Hope your all having a nice weekend, we're off to Powderfinger/Silverchair concert tonight should be interesting to see how I go!
Marcellus - I have to pay tax too, $500 so not too happy with that.
Saw my Dr yesterday & obviously he can't say if bub will come early or not but when I asked if I should pack my bag he said yes so I will do that next week when I finish work.
I am still having soooo many b/h contractions it's getting ridiculus & Dr said if I'm getting them so often now a second bub will be worse!!!!
Anyway all is good with bub she is still head down ready to go & doesn't look like she's moved since my appointment 3weeks ago & he said she will stay put now.
He also said her size is about average which is a relief because every customer I serve lately has an opinion on that I am so tiny, for my normal size I am quite big but they don't know me I guess so it's a relief to know that everything is all good.
I nearly had a meltdown at work on Thursday because this week everything that could go wrong did go wrong & I just so wanted to enjoy my last couple of weeks of work with the girls but it has been horrible.
Hopefully next week my last week will be a bit better.
I almost quit & walked out of work, you know it's pretty bad being nearly 8 months pg having to deal with major stresses at work & your boss just letting you deal with it, you think she'd help out a little.

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all happy and getting bigger bellies!:)
Well I had my BT and hcg went up to 1200 from 400 last week.The nurse told me that they are dissapointed with the results and are not holding out much hope for a positive outcome.I have to wait again and go for another bt and scan at the clinic next wed.I am so sad about it all and totally emotionally drained,God I wish it didn't have to be such a struggle,it's really not fair.
I am still feeling sick and was holding out so much hope that it would be all perfect this time....I think a little part of me just won't accept it's all over until I see no heartbeat on that screen.:cry: the hardest part is that this is it...no more embryos equals no more chances!
I feel so heartbroken for Dh and DD and a complete bloody failure as a woman.
Anyway,I am truly grateful for what I have,I am so lucky and blessed in so many ways!:)
Hope you all stay well and wishing you fantastic pregnancies!
Hugs,
Claire
Oh no I am so sorry Claire....and send you a big hug:hugs:
It must be awful waiting again.....but I guess if there is still a chance it will work out, then you have to hold onto that tightly.....it really isnt fair that this process is so hard....especially after the slog to get here!!
I will be thinking of you and I have my fingers crossed you will be one of the ladies who succeed regardless of what the nurses say....and am sending lots of positve vibes for wed :goodluck:
Big Love Lis xx
Claire - my heart really goes out to you, and i wish i knew what to say to help you. Be kind to yourself, and it really is OK to feel all those angry and sad etc emotions.
Jo (DJ) - you are having a time of it at work by the sounds. At least bubs is OK and raring to go, but still - you should be winding down and not getting stressed out. Some people are inconsiderate and rude, aren't they? I can't believe they are discussing your own body - it's downright offensive.
Had an interesting chat with my Dad yesterday (my parents live in NZ). He is not telling anyone about me being pg, as he said the last few years have been a nightmare with everyone saying 'oh, poor you, you'll never be a granddad, and your kids are selfish/career focussed etc etc.' I used to get those comments (all the time, as i'm sure you all did too!) - but he never told me that HIS colleagues and 'friends' used to say it too! It makes you just wanna scream, aye. He said that they don't deserve to know.
Yay to you Kimbe for buying things - how cool. I don't know where to start, so i'm putting it all off until i sit my exam in November - then i can put my mind to prams and all the other things.
Hi to everyone and thanks for all your kind words.
Jo
hello girls... i saw a few familiar names and am so happy to be here! after a fully stim fresh transfer and two FET i am finally pregnant!!!
had my transfer on the 13 and BT on the 22 of this month. levels are fine and going back on friday for follow up bloods
will have to scan back and catch up who, what and when.
take care everybody
Hi everyone
Sonya - congrats :dance:and I wish you all the best for a happy and healthy 9 months
Jo (Kotare) - i hope you are feeling a little better, i think its pretty normal to have those feelings, so dont beat yourself up over it and you still have a happy healthy bub which is fantastic.
Not a lot happening with me, I am still suffering annoying nausea and extreme tiredness and I am desparately waiting for my boobs to grow.... but nothing yet I may ask for my money back.:D
I am finding it hard at the mo with the family being in the UK, my grandfather is really sick:( and my mum is torn between being overwhelmingly happy and distraught. She think if she tells him im pg he will give up (the old one out- one in philosophy)....im a long way from home....and I dont think its going to get any easier.
