[dory]

J with J - AWESOME!!!!

Elise - I am thinking of you and hope that your silence is because you are busy and not because you have received difficult news. Big hugs......

Milly - good to hear some relief from the vommies. I LOVE the fact you are getting so big so soon. Me too, compared with before....

HPL - good to hear some relief for you too. At least you should have slept well after your long appointment. Good luck for Thurs.

Audax - how you doing?

Mo4 - are you in here? I can't remember. ( Dory moment) Anyway, I read about your dream in the other thread and I wanted to say thankyou for sharing it. I might even start to call little chicken, Little Cod, just to honour and remember your dream. I am not so much into dream interpretation or giving them meaning, but sometimes in my life I have had dreams that have had real significance for me. Strangely your dream fell into that category. The other dream I had recently of significance is not long after Sophie died, and I was really struggling with grief, I dreamt that I was nursing her and breastfeeding her. It was the most amazing and vivid dream and when I woke up from it I had such a sense of peace. After that my struggles with grieving seemed to pass and I could grieve, but in a more peaceful way. Hard to explain.

I am too lazy to go back and check the other pages to give persies for those I have missed. Sorry. Laney ( are you in here?).

AFM - well excitement plus - I had my flu shot for the year this morning, after getting the all clear of course from my Ob to proceed, and also about an hour ago my first nosebleed that wasn't from a physical trauma. I was talking to my mum on the phone and thought my nose was runny. Of course, no tissues to hand so I used the back of my hand ( I know, so so so gross) and was surprised to see blood. It was only a light bleed but the nostril that bled now feels really weird and fragile an snuffly. I am not surprised as this morning when I blew my nose there was a little blood in the tissue from the same nostril. It is a first for me though. I am not worried as it was light, stopped quickly and is common ( or so I have read). A bit of excitement for my day....

Had an appointment with my ob on Friday and got some good news. LC's heartbeat 140 and cervix long and closed and my blood pressure is pretty good 120/60 ( given I am basically a sloth now I am very happy with my BP)

We had family stay with us late last week. It was good to see them, and it really broke up the monotony of being at home by myself. The other good news was that the cats, instead of hiding under the bed, were in fact "pat tarts". They were snuggling up to our visitors for pats and one cat even slept on my nephews legs all night. He loves cats but is quite allergic. Thank god for zyrtec! But that is what kept me away since Thursday.

And I am still eating chocolate. I don't think it will ever end.... but loving it ( maybe thats why I can't fit into my clothes..... nah I couldn't fit into them from very early on....I am telling ya. it's lazy bump going on over here.

Take care.
