Hey guys

The appointment went really well...Ziggy hasn't moved as yet...but hopefully he'll/she'll get the idea in the next few weeks! It was amazing talking to the Ob. about the birth...so exciting...I just can't wait for the opportunity to do this! AMAZING!

Marcellus...we are REALLY happy with Mercy! The staff seem great, the rooms are beautiful and it just seems like a hospital with a 'good feel'. Our new Ob. (Dr Thyer) is really fantastic. He's very considered and gentle...and has a great bedside manner. He's also pro-VD if possible...He was recommended to us by one of the midwives...which is always a good sign. And I've only heard good things from the other midwives regarding him. He's very busy...so might be worthwhile to give him a ring. If you see him, he's always running late (e.g. 90 minutes) BUT he then spends a good 20 minutes with you each time...which is great (I've been to other Obs. and you see them for 5 minutes). Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.

Mako...so sorry to hear that you are getting sick again. You poor chickie. Can you have a rested weekend? Hoping so! I only got up out of bed at 12pm today as I felt my throat becoming sore last night...seems to have knocked it on the head for now. Look after yourself!

Diva-n-dan...it's hard, hey? I think it's so tricky getting your mind out of the TTC mode and into pregnancy mode...but it WILL happen. My way through was just to take each day at a time...easily said, not that easy to live though...especially with all the pulling and stretching that happens...it's scary...but just say to yourself "this is my body growing for my beautiful baby"....hang in there...it definitely gets easier...and more enjoyable...don't worry you will get to the point of loving this pregnancy...it just takes time...and I think that the pain and disappointment that we have gone through as LT-ers, only deepens the love and gratefulness and appreciation we have for these beautiful gifts of life.

Ltl Panda...hope you are doing well chickie!

Sazz...you doing okay?

Keen...I read that you are having your 19 week scan today...wishing you all the best!

Kotare...how'd your scan go? Can't wait to hear...

Kimbe...hope you are doing well!

Mango...how you doing?

Smegs...how's it going?

Jo...you doing okay?

Odette...you doing well?

So hope I haven't missed anyone...

I've now packed my labour bag...and feeling ready for this to happen...
