hi All,

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.

Jules
