Thanks for welcoming me into the group. I'll admit straight up that i can be a very sporadic poster. sometimes heaps of posts, sometimes not for a while - so bear with me and know i'm not too far away. hee hee
WTH - good luck for the next few weeks. hope you're feeling ok and getting so excited I bet. so much to look forward to.
ZStar - good luck with the amnio decision. it is definately a hard one, but i think if it was me, i'd want to know. so that i could either relax knowing everything was ok, or start looking for info and into support etc if it was needed. i hope you make the right decision for you.
Greenslw - hope you enjoyed your pedicure and massage - sounds devine!
LizJessie - i love the caption on your ticker! cracked me up!
erybery - i loved that moment of finishing work. I was sad in a way to finish, but couldn't wait to start the next chapter of life. I know it sounds cliched but make sure you take a lot of time out for yourself and really nuture yourself over the next few weeks. the days of looking after just you are numbered - so enjoy it and enjoy the last few weeks of pregnancy. i loved that time. loved the anticipation of meeting bubba being so close.
Pash - the only way i can build on a description of contractions, is VERY VERY VERY INTENSE cramps. like the worst period pain you can imagine and multiply by 10. but it's amazing how you cope and get through it. i think our women's natural inbuilt 'something' takes over and before you know it - you're holding your precious miracle.
Congrats to Chappas, Meredith and Karen Van on the safe arrival of your bubbas
Hi to Josh'smum and Babymiracles and anyone else i may have missed.
AFM - just settling in i think. not going to have another bt until next week and then a scan the week after that, which i'm definately counting down to. have the odd niggle and cramping sensation but trying to relax with it and enjoy it all as part of this fantastic process. If i hadn't loss our angel i would think they're all normal preg sensations anyway - so i'm running with that. Still temping too which helps to give a bit of piece of mind. did any of you still temp after you got your bfp? how long did you continue it for? i know i should probably stop, but i guess it's almost just part of my routine now and i kind of like knowing that temps are still high?????!!
Anyways - hope you're all having a fabulous Tuesday.
Juleswa - Congrats! I remember you from the TCCAML thread a while ago. Hope everything goes smoothly for you this time and I can't wait to see you posting about your baby
Hi to all others, I haven't posted in ages, seems to be a bit of a trend in the pregnancy forums! I think it's a good thing cos it indicates things are going well!! A little over a week here til we find out what colour baby we're having. I really hope it cooperates and shows us!
smallfryplus: good luck with the big scan next week - it is so exciting finding out the sex
juleswa: glad to hear things are going okay and you are not worrying too much. Hoping the time before your first scan flys by, and that you then see a beautiful heart beating away
WTH: Glad things are going okay - enjoy the rest (although I think I am personally over resting - gives me too much time for worrying - tee hee).
zstar: thinking of you and praying all is okay when you have amnio on the 15th. It is such a difficult decision and I am so glad that I didn't have to make that decision with this pregnancy. Take care
greenslw: sorry to hear you are having trouble with your back - how annoying. Hope it is feeling better now. Adelaide weather seems to have gone back to winter hey - just attempted a walk with my dogs and as well as having to stop every two seconds with groin cramps we got soaked - bad idea I think :-)
Easha - any news yet? hope all is okay
Lizjessie, erybery - not long now - hope all is going well
to josh's mum, pash, molllycat, hannahD
:hello to the mums with new babies - megsmum, chappas, meredith and karen van
AFM: Now up to counting down in days rather than weeks. We are booked in for an induction on due date (frid oct 2nd) if baby doesn't come before then. Fingers crossed baby decides to come before next friday. Haven't been feeling too flash in last few days - headachey, nauseous, tired, groin cramps +++ and excessive thirst - but blood pressure okay at OB visit yesterday and no protein in urine - so just a part of being very pregnant I think. Anyway shouldn't complain as have been lucky to be very healthy throughout this pregnancy!
I am pleased to finally annouce the safe arrival of 'Jaida Grace' who was born 11.46pm Saturday 19th September. Jaida was 3.165kgs and 49cms long. She is perfect in every way.
We are home from hospital now after 20 hours of labour and several methods used to increase the strength of my contractions to bring Jaida into the world. After all the attempts to get her out we still delivered naturally which I am very pleased with.
Will tell you more over the coming posts. Congrats to any new babies born whilst I have been away.
Big congrats Easha on the birth of your baby girl Jaida Enjoy your precious little newborn snuggles!
Yay for the PAML baby boom - and good luck to those about to meet their little ones ..... WTH - any more signs of bub's imminent arrival?
We're doing splendidly here - Lila is growing well but is long and lean (64cm long and only 5.5kg)and is specialising in blowing raspberries, dribbling and belly laughing and and is aaaaalmost rolling .... so cute I could just gobble her up
Huge congratulations to Easha on the arrival of Jaida Grace
jenushka - Great to know that you and Lila are doing well. I can't believe she is 3 months already and almost rolling over! Wow how quickly time passes.
