Greenslw: I completely agree, work . but it's a necessary evil for some of us! I've got my normal job that pays the bills and my business that I am trying to get up and going...maybe treat your workers like a tantrumy toddler - put them in time out

Easha: Lucky you, I can't wait to have only two weeks to go! You sound like you have nearly everything done...got the bag packed waiting by the door?

KarenVan: I really like the idea of a homebirth...its not possible for me atm but I think if it is safe for you then go for it!!

Chappas: do they expect your little man to put on much more? At least he turned for you, typical male left it till the last minute though lol

Kath: HI!!! welcome...26 weeks already? like I said earlier - I can't wait to be that far along, just want to be out of the first tri.

Meredith: Yippee on your little bub moving around! You must be so happy and excited.

WTH: hows the cough? cleared up yet? I've just got a mild cold with a cough...can't take anything which normally wouldn't faze me cause I rarely use medicines but not being allowed to means I wish I could lol

I know I have probably missed a heap of ladies, I just wrote to those I could see still on the screen...hi to everyone I missed and hope you are doing well

AFM - I've been getting those niggling pains, they are not very bad and not very often so I am certain the are the normal ones we are supposed to have but of course being into the 5th week I am starting to stress. I have my ultrasound this Thursday which I should be 6wks for, dates are all correct and they find a heartbeat.
This preg is different, hcg levels are higher, I get waves of nausea once in a while and I'm exhausted - even when I first wake up, plus I'm peeing like its an olympic sport. its noticible apparently that I eat more and am tired cause people at work commented to me during last week

Thanks everyone for your warm welcomes and wishes for a H&H preg...its been great to meet you all and have this support!
