It is sad and poignant when there are outside reminders, and sometimes even left field, of our angels and our new journey.

Teagm - how are you doing?
HPL – can you believe it 29 weeks? I am overjoyed, and thankful for every day. I love the feeling of baby moving around and just how strong the movements are. It's very reassuring. Are you having insomnia? I get it off and on. Sometimes I get pins and needles in my arms and hands, but they go away if I change positions. Do you get that? Must remember to ask my Obs about it next week. Have you set up the nursery yet? We are yet to, although we might actually go and purchase a cot this weekend. Its a pretty big step for us.... as happy as we are we are still nervous nellies.

Sorry if I have missed anyone else. Not much to report here. Same old, same old. 7 more sleeps til my fur baby goes in for his treatment.... eeek. I'll either go to ground and not post because I am too sad, or I will post like mad to try and fill the hole his absence leaves. DH was at work til near midnight last night ( he's a day time worker, not a shift worker) and I impressed myself by staying awake til he got home. Then I was so excited to have him home I couldn't sleep. Hilarious. I was considerate though, I tried NOT to talk incessantly, as all he wanted and needed was some down time before he crashed into bed.
Im good. Just nothing iteresting to say really! LOL Had my first braxton hick the other morning, weird to see the uterus all bent out of shape so early on! Meant to see my HB MW at 14 week so i guess id better contact her soon, i am in no great hurry. there is nothing they can do for me and i guess im scared that ill get stressed that she wont be able to hear the HB yet with a doppler... Im happier not knowing!

I agree that the unexpected reminders of our angles are harder than the dates... Have had to light my candle a bit more lately than normal but that make me feel comfort. Really didnt have time to process ectopic before the BFP. We also moved house right as i got out of hospital so its been a bumper of a year. I still know this was better for me than to wait to TTC. How long did you take between your babies?

Hope your fur baby is ok. I also hope that you post like mad and dont go underground 3 weeks is just too long!

Your poor DH i do the same to mine. All they need is some quiet time and then wham the excited women mouths off at 100 miles an hour!

I hope you go and get the cot. Yes it will be very emotional for you but at some point you have to face these emotions!

dory- scan is today! 2.35 perth time, will let you all know how it goes. so excited, but m/s is making hard to drink alot of fluids for scan, specially water i cant stomach water lmao! so im drinking juice and lemonade lol. ill take a m/s tablet soon so hopefully fliuds will stay put for the scan lol. feeling real confident that all is well with bubs, still nervous but more excited.

i went out and bought two sleep rompers from kmart i couldnt help myself! one for a little boy and one for a little girl, people say that mothers know what their having or have an idea but im totally not sure! different pregnancy so far to the boys, my boys all had lower hcg levels early one, this one has much higher ones, bugger all m/s with boys and loads with this one and my boys heart rate scans at 6 weeks were in the 120's bpm so we will see what this one shows us today. still to early to know of course but i love the guessing!
Good luck with the scan! I have never guessed what i am having. When people ask i always respond that i have NO maternal vibes at all! I also always buy something blue and something pink. It always suprises me how important it is for me too see them in the right colour! LOL go with the feeling. If you want to buy then buy!
