    dory: if DF was home during the day i'd hardly be online at all.
    it was more of a fluke that i'm due on GF day, as i fell approx 7-8weeks after we lost Everson, i know it's going to be interesting to see if i go on my EDD because it's going to be hilarious if i do. I might crochet myself a bunny rug and just incorporate all the colours of the NRL teams.

    HPL: congratulations on expecting a GIRL

    Jen10: congratulations on your + HPT, maybe leave it a few days and test again?. I know with this bub i tested twice in a week and they were both feint +'s and when i went to the doctor he didnt do any tests but it seems i was only 3-4weeks.

    Jen10 - congrats girl! How exciting for you, and we all understand the fear/anxeity/sadness that mixes with the happiness of a BFP. I was soo soo keen to have this pregnancy confirmed that I took multiple HPT's and then was at the GP. I didn't want a blood test to confirm, just a POAS, but done by someone else. It came back loud and strong for me at the GP's. I was over the moon. I have read that HPT's will not be wrong for a +ive but can give false -ive's, if the HCG levels are not high enough when you test. I wouldn't be able to wait if I were you.

    HPL - congrats on expecting a little girl to your family. Go and buy a few girlie things for your daughter, if the prediction isn't correct, you can always go out and get some non girlie things if you need to. But how nice will it be if you have some outfits you have chosen for your girl to wear straightway!

    Bonham - that would be potentially a really lurid bunny rug! I have one of those but its in pastels..... Does that mean you are about 19/20 weeks now with this pregnancy?

    19 weeks today for me. I am getting excited about all ( well not all, can do without heartburn or other nasties) of the aspects of pregnancy I have yet to experience.... getting a big big tummy and waddling. Who would think someone would get excited about that! Has anyone had cravings? I seem not to have had them yet .... I wish I would get one for icecream.

    dory: it would be a pretty funky colourful bunny rug i'm 17weeks 3days atm, i'll be 18weeks this Sunday so by the time i have my 18week scan i'll be 18weeks 5days. Wow your only a week or two ahead of me. I dont know whether what i eat is "cravings" i basically eat whatever i want (within reason) and nothing that i wouldn't normally eat.

    Hi all,
    Sorry i have been so slack on the posting.

    Millyd & Jen10 - Huge Congratulations on your BFP's. Take each day as it comes and be positive!

    Hope.Positive.Love - Congratulations on a baby GIRL. It makes it so real when you know what you are having. And gee there are some mighty cute girls clothes out there!!

    Dory - Antenatal classes were good. From doing lots of reading and reading birth stories on belly belly i felt that i already knew everything we talked about. I havent had any heartburn. People always ask me if ive got it. Wouldnt even know what it feels like. Hopefully you wont get the not so nice symptoms of pregnancy. Yay for 19 weeks... The second half will fly by!

    Bonham08 - Wow 18 weeks. When is your next scan? Will you find out the sex??

    Belly rubs to everyone else that i have missed.

    AFM - Had 36 week scan last Friday. Baby is head down and ready to go. Had to have his kidneys checked out and they look good too. Still a little distended but his bladder is working and he has heaps of fluid around him so they are confident that nothing is wrong. We will probably need to take him for a scan on his kidneys at 6 weeks just to be sure but im not even going to worry about it until we have to. 37 weeks tomorrow and counting down!

    Morning all,

    Sorry i have been MIA, have had a nasty bout of gastro...YUK!!! I am not a 'sick" person, so it was awful, i never catch tummy bugs, DH and i both woke up with it monday morning, along with 2 of our friends we spent anzac day with, but apparently half the town has it!!! Feeling ten times better today!!
    Jen & MillyD - A big congrats, look forward to sharing the journey with you both xx
    HPL- Yay on a girl, i;m with Dory, buy a few girly things!!
    AUdax - how are you hun? Been thinking of you xx
    Milly5 - How awful you still have MS, and here i am complaining about gastro, at least i haven't had it for 21 weeks, you poor thing xx
    Maddison - How exciting, so close now.
    Bonham - Great to see everything is going good, we are really close in dates.

    AFM - I was 18 weeks yesterday, still no massive kicks or anything, just flutters and a tapping feeling, which DH felt last night!!! Have scan next wednesday at 9am, scared but can't wait at the same time, also have to have my cervix length checked just as precaution as i had a laser procedure for an abnormal pap smear about 5 yrs ago!! Hopefully all good!! Ob appoinment last week was cruisy, all good, had to put of miidwife appoinment on monday due to being sick, so rescheduled for next tues, just to finish all hospital paperwork and talk about classes etc.
    Hope evryone is well xx

    Maddison - oh wow - that is awesome news about bubs position. Good to hear you're being positive about his kidneys too. Oh sweetie - I am so excited for you and can't wait to read your BA and Birth Story.

    Sparkles - sorry you were sick. Yukko. Gastro is never nice. It's just so miserable, feeling sick all the time and just waiting for the next vommie or squirtie ( other end). And then feeling so exhausted. Feel better soon.... pity that DH got it at the same time, otherwise he could have taken care of you. Congrats on reaching 18 weeks - it's an awesome feeling, each milestone.

    Milly - I am so sorry that youre still sick. In a way having a good day is cruel, because it gives you hope there will be more days like that. I used to suffer from pretty severe & constant nausea for about 3/4 years and whilst I enjoyed the good days, it was hard when reality crashed around me again and I almost wished that I didn'thave the good day. But, the good days gave me hope for what it could be like. And gradually over time, it has improved. Had squillons of tests to work out why. Nothing that could be detected. Diagnosed with IBS. But interestingly, a better, diet, more fluids, more fibre and more exercise helps a lot. Anyway, I just hope a few mor god days can be strong together for you.

    Bonham, HPL, Elise - big hugs coming your way...

    AFM - 19 weeks now. I will get that ticker up and running. I have heard from the mods and it's ok apparently if my signature changes in old posts, but I ahve to change it in current/future posts ( so I don't breach the rules for posting in TCC/Loss threads)....5 more sleeps til my next scan - the morphology. As usual excited and scared intermittently. C'est la vie. Belly rubs.

    Bon - good luck next week. I know you're nervous and scared. You will get through it.
