[Hope.Positive.Love]

ashie : Congrats on the great news!! dates to me mean nothing of late... I'm any where between 29weeks and 31weeks - then the MW today told me I was 26weeks.. yeah right I think, got a second opinion and she measured me 30wks!!

Tegam: I loved the looked of my belly with the BHC i thought it was so cool lol

dory: oh my love I know 29wks we made it :-) - I am getting insomnia thank god you are too. It's driving me nuts, I had maybe 4hrs sleep last night and I'm still working 5days so it's not fun!! I've been getting cramps in my right calf but can't take anything else for it so I get up in the middle night walk around for 30mins then try and get back to sleep... Our nursery is almost finished.. DH and I made a decision at 15 weeks to start enjoying the pregnancy and we have been slowly doing it since then... We had a lot of stuff from our first pregnancy so when my parents bought everything over to our house it was very emotional coz this was all meant for our first bubby so there were tears but also tear of joy that we were having this one no matter what... I will have to work out how to put a link on and show you some pictures of the nursery, i am very proud of it... We have a craddle from my DH side that is over 80years brought over from Amsterdam which is my DH father's ( so bubba Opa) It is goregous and still is really really good condition... so we'll use that in our room and the cot in the nursery... I think it would be really good for you and DH to go and buy one or at least have a look at them this weekend, it is a big step I understand buying it means you will have someone to put in there... and Dory.... you will, you will have a precious little baby and you will be an amazing mother!!!


All emotional today ladies sorry!! Bug belly rubs to everyone!! Enjoy the weekend!!

ashiei am so happy for your great scan. A mother sometimes does know what the sex of the baby can be i was right with the one i m/c i always knew it was a boy and it was.

dory I am doing okay b/f kids are here for a week and the older one by a year is better behaved then the younger one is. so its kinda of stressful makes me wonder what it will be if i am still be with him when i have the baby.

AFM went to the drs and they wanted me on bed rest becosue my heart is giving me problems. And my b/f said its not an opioion i cant rest i have to take care of his kids. He knew about this for a while if he could not take the time off then he should have said i cant take the kids for a week. He is on call 24/7 so they want to see him not me. We had a problem yesterday the 8 going 9 year old took off at a very crowed pool took him 15 mins to find her and all he did was tell her not to walk with out tell someone when she has been told so many times. I told him that she should have to sit down for a few becouse you cant reward bad behavoir

[ashie]

angelfish- thats so unfair on you, i hope you do rest up hun you deserve it xxx

well im sad i had a friend tell me my scan isnt normal made me cry, dh just thinks its a girl cause this one teeny not like the boys the boys were 7-8mm lol. dh said scan person said bubs is fine so she is lol, oh i wonder if little one is a she would explain alot lol. i am just so happy to have a good growing bub why do people want to make me worry again, also all my family is being great support their being like dh and saying girl too! anyway i picked out a boy and girl name i am still on the fence lol

[angelfish]

ashie hun don't let what other people say get to you i know easyer said then done. I am going though the same thing when i got my frist scan they tech told me that i was due the 10th of feb when i went to get one done by the dr he tryed telling me that the report said the end weekend of january. But the dating and the weeks matched up with what the tech said. My day would have been shot by the hr went from 165 to 169 and it was the righted week and day that i was suppost to be.

AFM my ms had disapeared and i am not as sore so i am freaking out i know that i am 9 weeks and things can come and go but i have been pushed physical to my point the past couple of days.

We're not finding out! It's a great big surprise! Although our favourite stallholder at our farmers market told us today that it's a BOY. And I trust him with a lot More than just organic passionfruit, so he must be right.

Wednesday was our angel-versary, which really spans the whole week. I wanted nothing more than for it to rain on the day, because it has rained on every significant angel date we have had. Then, on Wednesday at 1:00, I was at work and there was this little spit of rain, and I was listening to Eva Cassidy's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" at the time. I had a little tiny cry (I was also surrounded by gorgeous sleeping babies, and that helped it along) Then when I left work yesterday, there was this enormous rainbow across the sky, and I felt so connected with our little bunny. Of course it could all be coincidence, but it never rains in Brissie winters, so I just don't reckon it was.

HPL - we have a Dutch cot coming to us! It's not heirloom or anything though. It's from some Dutch friends who are finished having babies. They have two gorgeous kids, and had two m/cs along the way so have been incredibly supportive for us. I had really wanted a cradle, I love them so much, but the cot offer came up, so we're going with that.
We have a lot of hand-me-down furniture for the nursery, all of it donated with a lot of love. So I'm trying to come up with ways to make it kind of "match" and I'm thinking about some of those wall sticker type things, or stencils. Not sure. Having fun though

Angelfish - my MS and soreness have come and gone since around the ninth week too. I feel so apprehensive everytime it subsides and then I have a big meal and feel awful again so I wouldn't worry too much about feeling a bit better. try and enjoy it. As for the rest, is there anything you can do with the kids that allows you some time to put your feet up, like getting a few good family movies for them? When I feel awful in the afternoons and have to lie down I put a movie on for DD and bring her toys and books into my bed so I can rest.

TimeforaFamily - Yea, Danni Minogue also reminds me of my last one who would have been due next week.

Dory - thanks for your support. I do need to rely on the OB a bit more and not feel as though I am bothering them with my questions and concerns.

HPL - You poor thing with the insomnia. It was probably the thing that made work the hardest for me when I was pregnant with DD. I would usually drift off around 3 so I wouldn't even bother to go to bed until 2am. I think I got more sleep once DD was born.

Ashie - Friends do put their foot in it at times. I don't see anything wrong with your scan results. If there was a problem your doctors would be telling you and they are perfectly happy with the result.

Audax - Beautiful story about the rainbow. It brought a tear to my eye too. It must have a been a very special moment for you.

Well, I am up to a very important week. I lost two babies at the 11th week so it's quite a nervewracking time. I know things could still go wrong but somehow I feel if I can just get through this week that things might be ok.

[ashie]

thanks i really wish the 1st trimester was easy lol, i think dh is saying a girl cause he really wants to use the girl name he picked out and i dont blame him its real pretty! im just going to stay on the fence until my appt with ob he'll do another scan and find the heart beat then ill be able to say boy or girl lol.

Its going to be an emotional week for you but im sure you will be brave and get a lovely reward!

[India's Mum]

Thanks Tegam, I am feeling optimistic. I realise now I had lost symptoms by this stage before I miscarried whereas I still seem to have most of them now including a really big belly! Wow, just read you had a home birth. Was that a great experience for you?
