Pash - I know what you mean when people ask you about your pregnancy, you want to have the innocence and excitement but people just don't understand. When I've mentioned how stressed I am with this preg after losing my last people get all weird and make comments like "oh but this one is meant to be, the other one wasn't meant to be!" As if, I miss my angel as much as I'd miss this one, even though I was only pregnant for a short time last time! Big Hugs.
Lee - I hate the wait to. I had to wait for CVS results after being told at 9 weeks my baby had too much nuchal fluid and that they thought it was going to die, I didnt even have to have the blood test to combine with a scan to get my risk, so I know how your feeling hun, hopefully not long now!!!
-
Smallfry - LOL its crazy cleaning before a cleaning lady arrives I know! But I can't help myself!
pash - :hug: I know how hard it is acting like you are having a "normal" pregnancy - there's no such thing for us anymore is there? I wish there were something I could say to help, but you have done so well to get this far. Just keep reminding yourself that this bub will be the one you take home, think positive!
Lee - GL with the results, makes me glad I didn't have the bloods done - I hate the waiting around too :( DH actually promised me a cleaner for after our second bub when we started to TTC 2 and a half years ago (how naive we were back then!) and I'm planning on holding him to it ;) There's always stuff I'll still have to do, but at least she can take care of bathrooms and dusting and things that I always put off doing LOL
:hello: everyone else!
-
Did a big post yesterday but didn't go through agggh!
Lee - I hope those results come in soon. Surely your OB would know to call you ASAP this time around
Pash - hugs to you darl. I know exactly how you feel. Even though I'm more than halfway, have a huge belly and a fairly active bubba... I still can't get my head around there being a possible child in there. Talking to paople who don't know the "full story" can be so uncomfortable. Sometimes I just say that the pregnancy has been quite complicated so that people kind of stop asking much more
megsmum - glad you are feeling a touch better. At least you can now manage your dizziness, knowing its just BP issues
WTH - Glad all going well at your end and that your cervix is behaving. The whole c/s issure really comes down to what is best for you and baby and what you feel comfortable with. At least you have a birthday picked planned.
Can't believe your DD is still in the dark! You must be very good at avoidance talk. My DS knows full well what an u/s shows and what hides inside big bellies!
AFM - just feeling like a sad sack lately. Baby is active and conractions seem to be mostly under control ( at least this week) but I'm still not overjoyed. Its hard right now because I'm so close to her being "viable" if born but still not there quite yet. All the side effects from meds are gtting to me too.
I seriously have barely any hair left ... people must think I'm having chemo. Plus the worst acne ever. I don't even want to show my face in public
Today finally saw a pg physio for help with my failing pelvic floor and all the pains etc. Seems most is reffered from a stuffed lower back but i also tested positive for pelvic instability. So am now wearing a support band and supposed to be icing all my bits. Darn body is just falling apart!!
-
Megsmum - Thanks for your helpful reply to my post about listeria this morning. It was actually pre-produced guac. so not like your much safer homemade job. Yours certainly would have tasted better LOL. Anyway, I wasn't sure, but still had some. Now I am kicking myself for not following my intuition!
Meredith - Glad you have had an "event-less" week, but sorry to read the meds are understandably getting you down. Is the hair loss from the predisinone? Winter time is a good time for hats. Maybe you could get a nice trendy felt hat at an arty market until you stop taking the meds and it all returns (which it will ;)) I also saw a physio to help with some pelvic floor issues and she has ordered me a support band. Yeah, feeling better and better about a CS. I did a complete drug-free natural birth with DD (except for the last-minute forceps). I was very passionate about doing things naturally that time, but there ended up being a few problems. My recovery took longer than a CS :rolleyes: This time I have been told, due to prior damage, that with vaginal birth I have a very high chance of tearing and 50% chance of incontinence problems in my twilight
years. Would rather not go there on either count.
Lee - :crossfingers: for your NT results. Surely can't be long to wait now...
Pash - you're posts are like an echo in my mind. I agree totally. As if giving up wine and sushi is any big deal compared to the goal at the end of 40 weeks! I continue to feel uncomfortable talking about my pregnancy. I find myself saying "hopefully" and "if this all works out" every time I discuss it with family. To strangers, I tend to go off tangent and change the subject at lightning speed.
AFM - a little knackered from some home improvements and sleeping on a sofa bed. Boy does my shoulder get numb sleeping on my side. Also feeling a little paranoid about listeria (I started a thread on it). Looking forward to a little R&R on Sunday.
Have a great weekend everyone :D
WTH xx

Hi girls - still don't have the damm results ........... grrrrrr ............. will now have to wait all weekend, what a pain.
Meredith - in 4 months time your body will be your own again, and I'm sure everything that's fallen off will come back again!!! My DH got me a facial called "rescue my face" lol - had it the other day, and walked out plucked, tinted and polished - that combined with a haircut - and I was starting to feel semi-normal - just a suggestion?
Pash - it just depends who you are talking too, doesn't it, as to how much you can say/or want to say. I often don't tell people about Luc, just because I don't need to complicate a simple conversation iykwim - but other times I go there big time, and almost just wait to see how they deal with it. Most people are pretty understanding. But I had a shocker when I was nearly ready to give birth to Remy - I ran into a lady I knew from years ago (she now lives in Tassie) - I had seen her when we first came here, and I was very pregnant with Luc. Well I know she heard that he had died, but I never heard from her (didn't really bother me). And when I ran into her at a work function of DH's - she came up to me and said "how are you, and did you get over all that business". Could have slapped her then and there. Thinking on my feet - I said "no, I have not gotten over the death of my son, and I don't ever expect too". She looked terribly embarassed after that, and I just moved on. Some people just don't know how to say the right thing - but really for gods sake "that business". Off my soapbox now.
Hi to everyone else - better go and the little one's are getting restless!
Will report in if I ever get these damm results.
Lee xo

Hi all, few days away from the forum and I feel like I've missed so much.
Pash :leap: for no more spotting it can be so scary.... I hated it.
Lee fingers crossed for you.
WTH I'm glad you're sleeping better, listeria is so scary and it's everywere :(
MeridithD :hug: :hug: oh that sounds so unconfortable for you I hope you have lots of good support my thoughts are with you.
MegsMum oh your craft sounds so nice. I"m looming atm but it's taking SOOOOOOO long, but it will be ready for bubs.
ATM I'm at work bummer, everyone was sick so instead of having an early minute from my teaching job I came into my other job for the afternoon. It was nice and quiet but really just want to go home. Going to officially tell my brother and sister in law tonight. Really excited. DP has decided not to tell his parents bit confused but I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of it..... Super slooth away......
-
Hi All,
Have been loitering lately but have had litte energy to reply.
It seems you are all doing well and looking forward to meeting your bubs
Have had stressful week - work is doing my head in. Managing 20 odd people is exhausting!!
Also got an eviction letter as the owners super has bottomed out and they need to sell :wall::wall:
Nothing like a challenge when your 27 weeks preggers and have to find a new place to live aaaarrrrggghh - oh well what can you do :dunno::dunno:
Bub is doing well and I'm getting big and fat - belly button trying to push from an innie to an outie and only getting 5 hours of sleep a night - tired oh so tired.
Anyway thought I would pop in and say hello - sorry its all about me
-
Hi ladies!
Firstly - thank you all so very very much for your good luck wishes before I headed into hospital, and then your lovely messages of congrats on the arrival of our little Lila Isabel ... I have felt like such a slacko not having made it in here yet to say thank you :redface:. So thanks!
The induction was very effective - had the prostin gel applied the night before and only had a few mild contractions before they stopped completely. Got a good night's sleep, then I had my waters broken at 7.15am and by 8am Lila had arrived weighing 7lb2oz. It was incredibly fast and furious, and was very rattled afterwards - no time for any pain relief except gas. I had actually asked for an epidural a few mins in and the anesthetist didn't even make it into the building in time! I absolutely screamed my head off the whole way through but it was 100 times worth it - the first cuddles with my precious girl were just so very amazing. I then spent the next few days getting my head around the fact that she was here and was so healthy and so strong - and shed more than a couple of tears of relief after my brain could finally start to let go of so much of the tension and stress and worry of the last 18 months.
Lila has been a very good baby so far and has taken to bfing like a little champ! With feeds every 3-4 hours though am slowly getting used to the sleep deprivation but definitely not finding as much of a shock as first time around
I guess the time has come for me to move on officially from this lovely thread - but if you don't mind I'd like to continue to stalk you all in here from time to time ... Can't wait to see some more beautiful bubs arrive!
Take care ladies - thank you once again so very very much for all of the love and support I've been lucky enough to receive from here. Absolutely would not have been able to make it through in one piece without this place to be able to feel wobbly in!!
An extra special :bellyrubs: and a dose of :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: for you all

Lee Bugger that your NT results are taking so long. At least you know that it's that the results aren't in yet, and not just the ob putting off calling you. I'm sure it will be fine this time hun, you had a good NF measurement. But I also understand how impossible it is to not worry. Hope you can find ways of distracting yourself this weekend.
I can't believe that lady said that to you! Unbelievable! Well done for not just being polite and taking it :clap:
Erybery It doesn't matter how long you were pg for last time, you still lost your baby and that's not easy.
Meredith :hug: I didn't realise you were dealing with so much. I thought the contractions would be bad enough, but with those symptoms, I don't blame you for feeling like crawling under the covers and not coming out until it's time for Upsy to be born. You have to ice your bits? In winter? Brrrr!
WTH What's guac? I've been paranoid about listeria as well, but a friend emailed me a site that showed that listeria poisoning as a cause of loss is a really really low risk. I'll see if I can hunt that down.
Greenslw Yay! It's so exciting telling family. How did it go? And did you find out why DP backed out of telling his folks?
Hi Easha, Sounds like you have a lot of stress around you at the mo. At work, at home... Are you going to wait to see if your place is sold to someone who wants to keep renting it out, or do you just want to move and get it over & done with?
Aw Jenushka Lila looks absolutely gorgeous! What a wonder woman you must be for such a quick labour without any drugs! Congratulations.
AFM I am really happy :D I just wanted to say that, cos I think I only come in here to moan, but am loving being pg. Lee, I am well and truly popping out. Still hanging out to feel movement.
Still feel like I alternate between lying by trying to sound lighthearted and just not being able to take things less seriously. Another story... DH told a friend last night, who then started to obsess that his GF might be pg cos she's vegetarian but has eaten 2 steaks in the last week. Then he kept on about how they'd race us (he was a bit p1ssed), and I kept responding with a smile. After the N-th time, I just had to say "Look, I'm not going to wish my baby to come early, just for an idiotic race with your imagined baby". lol! It's just a small thing, but I can't be lighthearted about it.
Again, it doesn't really bother me that much, as long as monkey is ok.
Bellyrubs to Megsmum and anyone else I missed.
-
pash - So glad to hear you say you are happy :D and that you are loving being pg. It can't be long until you feel something now, are you sure you haven't had any little bubbles that feel like wind LOL Could be it! With DD I wasn't sure that I was feeling her for a couple of weeks or so from 16 wks on, and the same thing happened with this one but from about 14 wks or so. As for your DH's friend, well :rolleyes: is all I have to say!
Jenushka - So happy to hear that everything is going well for you and Lila, I'm hoping the shock this time around won't be so bad either LOL I know how you feel though about the tension and stress - I feel bad for wishing my pregnancy away, but I really am now just about at the stage where I just want bub here and to know she is safe. But on the other hand, I'm not wishing a premmie baby on ourselves either :doh: But all the best to you 2, feel free to stalk ;)
Easha - Sorry to hear you are having such a stressful time :hug: I can't even begin to imagine how I would cope with moving house now, but I hope you can get it sorted quickly and find somewhere to live soon.
Greenslw - Thanks, I do enjoy my wool dyeing and knitting, its nice to have something you can say that you have made from scratch. Looming sounds interesting too, have never done that so am pretty ignorant LOL, what are you making for bub? Hope you had fun telling your brother and SIL!
Lee - I can't believe that woman - OMG! Good on you for having a great comeback, I have to say I would have said something a lot more rude back to her than you did!
WTH - Hope you had a relaxing weekend :)
Meredith - Thanks, that's exactly how I felt when I found out. Makes it much easier to cope with when you have a reason and you know that its not going to affect the baby in any way, except of course if I faint somewhere inconvenient! But I think the chances of that happening are pretty small. I'm so sorry you are having a hard time :hug: the medication sounds like no fun at all. Good idea WTH had about a cool hat though, at least the weather is cold enough to justify it too. I'd also second the facial suggestion too, I've been having the regularly for a while (I started during some of my blacker times over the last 2 years and it is now my little treat to myself while DD is at preschool) and they really do pick you up and help you feel a bit more relaxed and better about yourself. I hope things pick up a little for you soon.
Hi to erybery and Smallfry as well as anyone else I have missed. Hope you are doing well!
AFM, not much happening this week, I have an appt free week so I can just relax a little for the next couple of days while DD is at preschool. I finally had a decent nights sleep last night too - woohoo! The only bad news is that after quite a few good days the dizziness is back again today - oh well.
-
Megsmum - What a difference a good night's sleep makes, eh? After two nights on the sofa bed I have been in heaven back in my own again. Will be great for you to have a nice empty diary for the week so you can put your feet up. BTW - can now relate to that dizziness - hit me on Sunday afternoon. Wasn't expecting it this early, but wonder if it was after the frantic week. Only getting it mildly now.
Pash - LOL out the veg GF who ate two steaks. I am a strict vego, but never could go that far! Fair-enough about your reply to "the race". Who wants to hurry a PG with such precious cargo?! BTW have PM'ed you ;)
Jenushka - loved LOVED reading about how you are getting along. It is great having success stories like your's here on this thread. And it sounds like beautiful Lila could not wait to meet her Mummy! Go ahead and stalk - it's been great sharing with you :hug:
Easha - was wondering how you were going. Glad the PG continues to be on track, but OMG - such horrible timing with your accom. situation. I hope it does not cause you too much stress at a time when you deserve to be putting your feet up!
Greenslw - Yay for telling your brother and SIL. Hope the MS is not causing you too much grief ATM while working two jobs.
Lee - what a looooooong weekend you must have endured. Hope you managed some sleep. My :crossfingers: remain for your NT result...
AFM - Well my house is back to normal and I am back in my own bed - Yipee. Am having major chocolate cravings ATM and seem to be getting bigger, though bub's kicks are still very light. Have my cervical length scan again tomorrow so get to see how the li'l one is going :D
:hello: to everyone else. Have a great week.
-
WTH the MS is being ich especially around 3pm but just keep on going. So exciting you can feel bubs can't wait for that moment.
Megs Mum: Looming is rug making, were you loop bits of wool through a grid. I'm making a bit of a rug but I started it in uni 6 years ago, someone said "you'll never finish" so I'm inspired again. It will be nice for the baby's room.
Pash: telling my family rocked, we stayed up late talking (I was so tired) but it was worth it. DP told his mum and she was a bit 'so what' about it, they are weired. DP was a bit sad they didn't react like my family. - :D love your snap at DH's friend he needed to be told.
Oh Easha :hug: moving sux, but I hope for a nice little place for you and family to be to settle with no more notices :pray:
ATM so flat, had to say to one of my staff 'no' about attending their group break up tonight. I'm so tired I just want a cat nap. Bit all over the place with my feelings to most of the time up beat and happy then kinda sad and sooky then agravated at lots of little things... HORMONES. Sad SIL and brother are leaving in 3 weeks, I will miss them so much. Back to Canada with my two nephews :cry: I know we wont see each other for a couple of years. Canada is too far!
Got white chocolate in top draw, will use it when needed ;)
-
Just a quick update - Bubs had her cardiac scan today (Im 24 weeks). The ultrasound lady said her heart looks great and she can't see any abnormalilties so very happy bout that! But on the other hand a bit annoyed because she also said "but the heart is very complex and we can't always see every abnormality!" ahhh, why can't they just say me baby will be born normal, all the excess nuchal fluid resolved weeks ago, the CVS came back normal, her fetal anomoly scan at 19 weeks came back excellent and todays cardiac scan showed no signs of anything wrong! Just sooooo annoying, Im so tired of being stressed and worried, I guess it won't end till the doc's have checked her out when she is born but OCT is seeming like a loooooonnnng time away a the moment!
anyways sorry for the rant and ME post just had to get it off my chest!! You gals are awesome for understanding :)
-
WTH - I had c/s with my DD who was born on 13th Jan, sure you will find it a lovely experience. I have scan on 2nd Sept to see if this little one is still breech(dd never turned) i still may have to have a c/s .
Lee - GL for your results, is awful having to wait.
Easha - Glad things going well, sorry about having to move house.
Jenushka - Great to hear from you and that little Lila is doing well.
Pash - Glad you are feeling happy. Sure you will be feeling movements soon
Meredith - Glad you having less contraction pain this week
Megsmum - Yay for a relaxing week, hope the dizziness eases
Erybery - Glad Bubs scan went well, understand you being so annoyed you just want the stress to be over:hug:
AFM - Feeling better this week, getting bigger by the day.
-
Lee Did you hear back about the results? Thinking of you hun.
Megsmum Glad you got a good nights sleep, but no good that the dizziness is back. It's a great reason to take it really easy and let everyone else pick up the slack. Must be hard when you have DD to think of though.
I can't feel any bubbles, butterflies or gas (except when it is actually gas). I have been feeling twinges, but they just feel like the twinges I've had since early pg, and had just put down to things moving & growing. I have a mw appt on Fri though, so hearing a hb will be just as good.
Megsmum & Greenslw Aren't you guys crafty?! What a great idea to make a rug for the baby's room. I've never dyed wool or loomed, but I do knit. I'm a member of ravelry.com and plan to knit a tomato shaped beanie for monkey with a matching red jumper. Maybe some elastic waisted cargo pants if I have time. I figure red and beige is a gender neutral combo and will suit a baby who may/maynot have dark skin.
WTH Enjoy spying on your little bubba ;) Sending you long cervix dust (why not?).
Greenslw Aw isn't it wonderful telling the people you love and have them get excited for you? Bummer about DP's mum. No wonder he was reluctant to tell her.
Erybery That's great news! All of it! Pity about the sonographer. Don't they know that we're googling every possibility and worrying all on our own? No need to warn us.
-
pash - GL with the midwife appt on Fri, I'm sure it will go fantastic! I'm on Ravelry too, although I must admit I'm pretty slack about visiting ATM! But your knitting you have planned sounds so cute, there are heaps of patterns on Ravelry to choose from, and BTW another good site is knitty.com as well. They've got heaps of baby and child stuff and the good thing about it is that it doesn't take long to knit. Yeah it is hard with DD, but at least she is at preschool 3 days a week which she loves so I get a little break then, even though I miss her heaps when she is there :( I'm not looking forward to her going to school next year! But she's a really good little kiddy and quite tolerant of Mummy not feeling well, and at least DH has finished with all his work travel until after this baby arrives now. He has been away heaps for work in the last couple of months and I'm pretty much over it (as is DD).
chappas - Glad things are going well for you :)
erybery - Oh gee, why can't these sonographers just stay quiet :rolleyes: as if we need anything else to worry about! But glad to hear the scan went well, bring on October.
Greenslw - A rug for the baby's room sounds great :) You know I actually have done something like looming (many many years ago now LOL) - rug hooking it was, where you use a little hook thing to loop wool through a grid - sounds very similar if not the same thing just with a different name? It wasn't very big though what I made, I can't even really remember what it was, just a little mat type thing I think. Sorry to hear about your DP's family, actually both my mum and DH's family were a bit the same pretty much, we were both a bit annoyed with them TBH. And what a shame about your brother and SIL too :( it's always good to have supportive people around while you are pg and with a baby, hope their time away goes fast.
WTH - You know, my dizziness came on after a frantic week too, the week after DD's party. I hope your goes away for you too, although mine's a bit worse again today after a totally crapola night's sleep :( It is wonderful to have a free couple of days though apart from collecting and dropping off DD to preschool. Funny little thing she was yesterday too, wanted me to hang around until one of her chums arrived then when her little friend got there she turned around to me and said "You can go away now Mummy" LOL! Cheeky thing she is! But anyway, glad the house is back to normal and you are back in your own bed :dance: GL with the scan today and I hear you on the choccie cravings :rolleyes: I'm allowing myself a tiny little bit here and there (naughty me!) all things in moderation is my motto. Doesn't seem to be hurting my blood sugars though at least.
Hi to everyone else I've missed!
-
Hi ladies - sorry for being mia - but I only just got my blood results today - and everything looks good - no increased risk, no further testing needed. I'm extremely relieved!!!
BB Later for personals!
Lee xo
-
Just popping in to say "hello" and send you strong wishes for H&H pregnancies!
-
Buliej - thanks for popping in - thats very brave! Not sure how things are with you as have not been online much but hope you are ok and getting ready to start again soon
Lee - what a relief for you! fabulous news re blood test. Hopefylly the rest of this pg is fairly smooth
Erybery - don't worry to much about the sonographer's wording. They can't legally say everything will be fine because no one knows that for sure. Even with a "normal" pg no one would say it was going to be perfectly ok
megsmum - hope you are doing ok and not to much dizziness
Pash and chappas - bighello and belly rubs
WTH - hope scan went well ad you are worrying less over the listeria issue
Sorry about very brief persies but DS cracks it when i'm on computer and has not been distracted by play school today!
Had appt with OB yesterday and all basically ok ( aside from my back/pelvic pain, hair loss, face issues etc etc!). Did come out feeling a bit daunted ... in 4 weeks he is going to start me on steroid injections to prepare Upsy's lungs for a premmie birth. He is not saying it WILL happen but thinks there is a high enough risk to prepare us for it. I am happy to take all precautions for upsy's sake but still feel a bit anxious that it is real possibility of her coming so soon
-
Lee Great to hear all is well :leap:
megsmum I think it is the same thing. Mine is 1.5x1.2 too big. but it will be so nice, don't know that I'll be letting little JS on the rung until no more sick ups though. You are so close now, got your bags packed?
Pash I think your gender neutral creation sound so cute. I've not tried making cloths as I have trouble putting up my hems. heheheh
Erybery :hug: wouldn't it be nice if doctors didn't speak in riddles.
Meredith glad you are taking it in your stride :goodluck: hope DP can give you a good massage
ATM had a really good planning day yesterday with my staff, they were so great, really got behind the changes and didn't eye roll too much. Went home and felt like a train reck (still do) I just don't feel like I ever sleep. With meds and peeing all the time I only sleep for a few hours at a time, then get up gym work home cook crash..... I know this is good practice for baby, but it's still exhausting.
No MS for a couple of days, really tried not to worry but did then last night in bed it was back, and has been heaps through the day, seams to be bad when I'm hungry. Bit like alot of the posts in this forum, i'm sick of worrying, being so critical of every little sign. My next scan is on the 6th and DP is coming which will be so nice.
75% of the time I am enjoying the experience and the jurney but it's the rest of the time that doubt looms...
-
Hi All,
Thought I would pop in and say hello while I am killing some time between looking at houses. :wall:
Megsmum - cant beleive your 34wks already - getting a good night sleep is so tough at times isn't it. Me I wake up usually about 4am to pee and then can't get back to sleep
WTH - 24 wks!! Times flies doesn't it - as for the chocolate I hear ya. I was off chocolate the first trimester but it back with a vengence.
Lee - good to hear the BT results were fine
Meredith - scary thought to start steriod injections for the bub. Whatever it take though right??
Greenslw - Dont you just love MS - I had the same experience I was only feeling sick when I wasn't eating so I ate and ate and ate. ;)
AFM- sick of looking for a place to live already - anyone have a spare room ????
Had the glucose test yesterday and will get the results back next week. Currently have a really achy pelvis and hips. Particularly achy on the pubic bone - I feel like I have to hold onto it all cause it's falling out :ROFL::ROFL: Hope this is all normal and not a sign of issues with my pelvis.
Anyhow going to get ready to see another house - groan :rolleyes:
Speak soon
-
Oh Easha :hug: you sound like you're over it hun, (pass the food) I'm trying not to eat and eat and eat, but today my tummy is being different I ate now I have MS. Nothing is "normal" anymore.
p.s. have spare room for 7 months but it's freezing in SA.
ATM SORE 20month old nephew weighed a ton in the pool yesterday, back hurts, legs hurt, abdomin aches. Oh the things we do.
Tonight I'm having a pre birthday party for my sister in law her b'day is the 29th of July but they''ll be back in Canada. So prebirthday it is. Cake, Fondoo (spelling) and lots of food. Will be nice to spoil her. She has been a real support through TTC and now PG.
-
Hi - big:bellyrubs: to everyone!!!
I'm sort of technically finished the actual teaching in front of kids thing as of yesterday - so despite the carload full of filing and marking to be done yet - I am sort of on maternity leave and a little saner than I have been chasing kids for stuff the last few weeks.
Easha and Greenslw - funny - I lost the taste for chocolate with two pgs - don't know whether that is a good thing or just being taken over by a bodysnatcher :lol: Oh Easha - I hope you can find someplace comfortable soon for you to establish yourself in - it is a drag the whole looking for/moving gig at the best of times let alone when you are trying to create your positive space for bub. I was born with CHD (congen. hip displasia SP?) and spent years as an adult trying to strengthen everything pelvic through yoga - with DD weighing in at 15 kgs now - I have found this second round a lot harder on me physically and everytime I stand or pick something up I consciously tuck my tailbone in to tone that area - it does seem to help - especially when I'm walking and you start to feel the 'sway back' kicking in... LOL
Megsmum - I am so envious - my Oma (gran) was a phenonmenal craftswoman and I always felt really guilty when she passed a couple of years back that I had never made more of an effort to learn some of the incredible skills she was trying to pass down to me - I feel like I threw away her legacy. I tried to get going with a local weavers group when DD came along but it just seemed like I never had enough time in one spot.
Pash - as for telling DD - I am about 5 ft 1/2 in and about 43 kg on a good day with the hands of an eight year old - and there's something about mummy throwing up a couple of times a day for months that made it impossible NOT to tell her pretty early on :) Plus we have lots of pg friends lately who had bubs before me - so she kinda clicked herself - and of course, blabbed to everyone - so I just had to good grace it... I feel for you with the workmate conversations and pg conversations in general - it has been very awkward for me at times this pg - I started my m/c last time very dramatically at work and lost bub next day so it was hard for any of us to work out how we were going to talk about anything. And it is funny - I haven't felt like waxing on about this bub verbally but I'm not much of a gossipy, baby shower kind of person so maybe that's just me.
Is any one else irritated by the endless - 'god you're huge' comments - I looked back on some photos of me at about 7 months with DD and to be honest I carried everything out front like I am this time and I don't remember it being like this - it is just coming from everywhere - one of the women at work thought I was due in a couple of wks!!! It is not a weight thing - I just find the 'oh - this one is going to be massive' comments not very reassuring????? One last query - is anyone else getting real issues around their shoulders/arm/wrist - really achy, painful and hard to sleep - had it first time too and interested to know what people do for it - read in 'What to Expect...' that it is a common syndrome for many pg women - the whole painful arm thing??
I can sympathise with the annoying sonographer comments - I understand the legalities of not saying - 'your bub is perfect' but as far as I am concerned - if you have no evidence of anything wrong - then random, unsubstantiated comments are NOT info and not needed! We have enough to think about!
Lee and Smallfry - hope you have answers to tests and hospitals that head you all in the right direction! H & H pgs to you both!!:dance:
Meredith - I wish the meds were being kinder to you - the sometimes not quite so wonderful aspects of pg are enough on their own - I can't wait for that moment when Upsy Daisy is in your arms sweeting - you have already been such a brilliant mother for her and such a strong woman for her to follow in the footsteps of
Sorry about the huge epic - this is what happens when I can't get in here often enough - feel like I have to binge - good luck with everything Deejoy and WTH!!! Good health and a quiet moment/mind for any one I might have missed (and I know I have...)
Chappas - due date buddy - how are you going!!!!!
Karen van
-
Lee - Glad the results came back everything good
Megsmum + WTH hope dizziness has cleared
Meredith - Hope the steriod injections go ok:hug:
Greenslw - Hope m/s not treating you too bad, mine only eased when i ate too.
Easha - Hope you find a place soon, having hip aches at night too sleeping with bolster pillow between legs has helped a bit.
Karen - Doing fine, know what you mean about the 'HUGE' comments people got me paranoid all of the time.
Hope you all having good weekend
Tracy

Lee :leap: Yay! Glad you got good news! That's one less thing to worry about. Are you still being visited by the m/s fairy?
MeredithD I can understand the thought of steroids being a bit scary, as well as the thought of Upsy being here so soon. Sounds like she'll be in good hands when she arrives though. I can't imagine the steriods will make the side effects from your existing meds any easier?
Greenslw You're almost through the tough 1st tri! Not long till you'll (hopefully) have loads more energy and less spewiness. The party for your SIL sounds lovely. Can't beat cake & fondue!
Easha We're just starting to look for a place to live too. I feel your pain. Why is it that there is never ever a place that is in a safe location, with just enough space, within budget?
Karen Van DD sounds so cute with the telling everyone that you're pg. I'm not a chatty baby-showery person either, so I know what you mean about really keeping things to yourself unless someone asks. As for being huge, I've gotten some of those already and I'm not even at 20wks yet! It does make me wish I could have a belly line up of women at the same stage just to see if I'm particularly huge or if the ppl telling me I am have just never seen a pg woman before.
Hellow to Chappas & Megsmum, and anyone else I missed.
AFM I think I need some advice... I had a milkshake on Sat, that I think was mostly soft serve. It was a hot day, so I'm hoping they were getting through it and it hadn't been sitting around for ages. Then a couple hours later we watch Star Trek and I felt really really sick. On Sunday, I had a glass of milk and a doughnut for brekky (great diet I know), and again, I felt really sick all day and couldn't eat again till 5pm. And today I had a bowl of cereal for brekky and felt really sick on the tube to work. Started to get dizzy & black out too. It was really hot on the tube, but I still felt sick in the afternoon after having spent the whole day in a/c. I was thinking about calling my midwife tomorrow, but I don't want to over react. What do you girls think? Is it normal to go from ravenously hungry all the time, to feeling sick every time I have something milky for brekky? I haven't had any first tri m/s, so I don't think it is just that.
Oh, aside from that, got to hear the HB on Friday again! Yay! I was stressing in the few minutes it took to find the HB though.
Oh, and we have a breakthrough. We bought a tiny cotton beanie & mittens, the first things we've bought for the baby. I was so excited and nervous!
We also were forced to look at prams, cos Bugaboo were having a factory sale, but we figured we'd spend less on a pram if we bought a dif one than if we bought one of the ones on sale. So it's been a very exciting, facing up to the facts, kind of a weekend.
And I got my parents involved by asking them to see if they could find a hugabub and try one on for me. I can't find anything similar in a store here, only online. They were so excited, they went and tried one on the next day! And they're full of ideas for names, and so many things. It was really sweet hearing them so excited.
-
yay for your breakthrough pash - I know how big a step it is!
We are going to a breastfeeding class on sat morn so should be interesting. ATM Im just sooo tired, hopeing I will get more energy when on holidays in a week. Then only 1 more term of teaching left at the very most, so looking forward to that.
-
Pash - very exciting you have made the breakthrough. We are still holding back a little, but we do not have so much to get this time. I wrote a list of things to buy on the weekend which was a big step for me. BTW - I really do not want to worry you, but the PG brochures from my clinic suggest steering clear of things made with soft serve because of a (small) risk of listeria. Of course, it is important for you to have your dairy, so can I suggest you just ask them to swap the soft serve for yoghurt when you are ordering? Just an idea ;)
Erybery - I was relieved to read you are feeling tired as we are just a few days apart. Anyway - ME TOO! Was not expecting to feel it this early. Had such an easy run in the second tri with DD, but seem to be a lot more drained this time around. Enjoy your BF class!
Karen van - woooooo hoooooo that you have "technically" finished class. I hear you on the sore arm - I think I have the same thing - alternating between dull, aching numb shoulders thanks to sleeping on my side.
Easha - yep - I am getting the achy pelvis/hips. Was on my RHS yesterday. I wish I had taken more notice of all these things when I had DD so I could remember what is "normal", but that is all a blur after the past couple of years.
Meredith - hello Miss Muffet :hug: Look at your beautiful ticker - you are getting so close to your dream now! It is good your Ob is planning ahead with the steroids for the lung growth - better than trying to do it all off the back foot later IYKWIM. Have you started to think of names for Upsy yet? (not that there is anything wrong with Upsy Daisy LOL).
Megsmum - thanks for being there (as usual). YKWIM :hug:
Lee - I was thrilled to read you got a good NT result :dance:
Greenswl - hope the MS is keeping away. Like you, my MS was worse when I was hungry, even though I didn't really like anything to eat! I loooooooooooooove white chocolate and have a special stash in the fridge that is depleting very fast ATM!
Chappas - dizziness and light-headedness is still around a bit which is weird. Is it happening at all to you?? Thanks for telling me about your CS. I feel ok about it - will just be happy to make it that far in this PG (booked for 39wk +3days). Can't imagine what it would be like being so organised and know what time I will meet my baby...
:hello: to everyone else :D
-
Hi Girls,
Pash - good for you braving a little nesting :) I'm happy for you!! I brought the Ergo sling and love it, and DH loves to wear Remy on his back, it's very very comfortable. People love to comment on a a woman's belly size. Couldn't tell you how many times I was asked "are you having twins" :rolleyes: sometimes, I said "no, triplets" :D And, yes, THANK GOD, morning sickness has GONE !!!! And I'm sleeping like a normal human being again, after weeks and weeks of insomnia!! Actually, I don't feel pregnant atm - no tummy (besides the blubbery one that was already there!), still can do up my jeans (just!!) - I've forgotten - when will I expand??????????? Must be soon????????
Oh bugger, got to go, man at the door - will be back later!!!
Lee xo
-
HI lovely ladies - haven't been in much lately. Just seems so hard to find computer time!
Easha - Ah pubic pain - I can well relate.... its not pleasant! And that feeling of everything "falling out" - yep i am with on that to! Are you doing any physio - I find it is helping a bit.
Karen - great to see your ticker moving along and at least with work finishing up you can maybe rest a touch
Pash - Great that your folks are so invloved ( if not from a distance)
I would call your midwife re the sickness but may just be the milk - maybe try having it later in the day
WTH - Hello buddy - good to see your ticker flying to. I presume your cervix is still ok?
Yes we do have a name for "Upsy" sorted but are not revealing
AFM - Have to go - DS creaming!
-
Pash - Milk made me feel sick all of the time and sickness has returned a bit at moment. If you are worried speak to your midwife just so you can put your mind at rest. Yay for hearing HB again its a wonderful experience, bit stressful when they are searching for it. Good for you buying first things for bubs, everyone in my family wants me to start but not had guts to do it yet.
WTH - Having quite a bit of dizziness at the moment too, hoping its just because it is much warmer than usual here in Uk and not used to it, sickness has returned too. Glad you are feeling ok about c/s and knowing when bubs will arrive must be good.
Erybery - Hope you are able to take it easy when on holiday, tiredness is a real bummer.
Big hello to Lee and Meredith
-
Oh my goodness, I have been so slack about posting lately :redface: have had a bit of 3rd tri tiredness setting in.......but here goes anyway!
WTH - No worries, same goes here of course :hug:
erybery - GL with the BFing class, hope you find it helpful.
pash - I can think of a number of things it could be, low BP, low iron...but I think you've had them all checked from memory (which is not all that good ATM LOL) and they were OK? I know someone who's MS came back in the 3rd tri and it was low iron, and the day I had my egg collection for IVF I had a puke which the nurse said was probably due to my low BP. Don't how much help all this is really, but I would speak to your midwife if you are worried, that's what she's there for :hug: Good on you for buying some stuff too!
Karen - I haven't had the huge comments so much this time around, but OMG I got them from everyone when I was pg with DD. Such a wonderful thing to say to a first time mother who is already worried about the size of her baby - NOT! And I'm getting the sore shoulder thing now too, mostly at night and I'm pretty sure just from sleeping on my side. Don't know that you can do much about it TBH....
Greenslw - Hope the M/S is not too bad, but having said that I understand how reassuring it is too! GL for your scan next week, I've got one the same day ;)
Easha - Yep getting sore hips now too, especially at night. I'd talk to your dr/midwife about the pubic pain, maybe they can send you to a physio like Meredith said. I hope you can manage to find somewhere to live soon!
Meredith - :hug: I agree with WTH, at least your ob is getting prepared with the steroids, better to have a plan in place than just deal with things haphazardly after the fact. And hopefully you won't even have to worry about having Upsy prematurely either! GL with it all and hope they don't knock you around any more than you are already being :(
Lee - Glad to heat the BT results came back good!
buliej - Good to see you in here! Hopefully it will be for good soon :hug:
chappas - *waves*
And hi to anyone else I've missed, hope you're well!
AFM, well like I said above feeling pretty weary lately. Sleeping is a bit of a challenge with all the aches and pains and I'm feeling very beached whale-like even though I reckon I'm not as big this time as I was with DD. We also spent the weekend organising the nursery which didn't help the tiredness, poor DH did most of it of course and was moving all this furniture around and trying to get the new stuff into the house and unpacked. I heard some swear words that I haven't heard for a while LOL! Just have the cradle to put together now though and I'm having my last haircut and colour this weekend before bub arrives so that should be nice too. I have my last scan next Mon so hoping that goes well and trying not to stress too much despite the occasional moment of paranoia :rolleyes:
-
Hi Ladies,
Wow this thread is getting big now! Takes me all morning to catch up with the posts.
Megs Hope everything goes well with your scan on monday :goodluck: I know what you mean about stressing. Sometimes I think it would be better not to see the obgyn so much. I am fine after the appointment but the day before and they day of I am a total mess. I just start freaking out that something might be wrong.
buliej You are a very strong lady and I pray that you will get some good news soon.
Greenslw Foodluck with your scan! And as for the MS I know its horrible but it is also a good sign that your hormones are increasing which means the baby is growing.
Easha I know what you mean about the hips. For the last two weeks mine have been keeping me awake at night. I cannot lay on them for more than an hour each side. Poor DH is getting so fustrated cause every hour I am turning in my sleep and cant help but groan from the pain. OB says its just the hips getting ready for labour.
Meredith It sounds like your OB is on top of things and accounting for anything that may happen. I would be re-assured that he/she is thinking ahead and is doing what he can do medically to give your baby the best chance of survival.
WTH I hope everything is going well with your pg! I smile when I see your name in this thread. After eveything you have been through to get here, you finally made it! It's just wonderful!
Lee Great news on the BT results! Congrats.
Sorry to everybody else I have missed my brain only works for so long now and even then its not the best.
AFM: The 1st growth scan I had the baby was in the 15 - 25 percentile but I had my second growth scan yesterday and the baby is measuring in the 10th percentile which is on the small side. His weight is approx 5.3lbs but got 8/8 for his health. The placenta appears to be working normally and enough fluid. OB says he is just small. But after everything I have been through to get here I cant help but to worry and stress. OB has sent me for weekly stress test monitering at the hospital on the baby and has booked me in to be induced on the 15th July. (39 weeks). I pray that everything will be fine and that he is healthy.

Hi All,
Seems like we are all getting big and fat now. I seem to also have started a trend with achy hips and pelvis.
At least everything I am experiencing seems to be normal given all your accounts.
Still have not found a place to live although we have narrowed it down to 2 places. DH and I seems to be at odds each liking the other one but we will see both together tomorrow and make a decision - finally - keep your fingers crosssed we are successful.
Had doc appt today and all is good. No diabetes and bloods all good.
7 weeks of work to go but 100 weeks of work to complete - why is work getting more stressful, shouldn't I be slowing down???
Looking forward to catching up on sleep
-
megsmum - those last fe weeks of pg are a real drag eh? but at least you know the agony of waiting will be over soon. Not to mention an easing of all the aches and pains. At least there will be a good reason not to sleep!
Chappas - congrats on hitting the third trimester! lets hope the last few weeks pass quickly
Tam - try not to stress to much about bubs being small. Percentiles just reflect where the baby is compared to average.... obviously it takes a wide range of sizes to make an average. I know a few people who've had tiny full term babies but they have gone on after birth to exceed averages
Not long until you meet him now. Are you all prepared?
Easha - good news on your bloods. Hopefully your last weeks of work pass by soon and then you can relax a little before bubs arrives
Not much more to tell here. My hair is still thinning by the day. very noticeable to even strangers now... if wigs were not so expensive i would consider one!
Pelvic/back pain manageable. Very strong BH's in the evenings expecially but I am less panicked that they will progress to anything more at least for now.
Upsy is an active little thing. seems to like to bounce up and down on my cervix and bladder all day which is not particularly pleasant but still makes me smile
-
:D to everyone - we really do seem to be plowing through at a rate of knots some weeks!
Pash - I remember what it was like to buy those first, few tentative baby things - it was funny - I always felt like I bought more after bub arrived. I love how you think before they turn up - I had bought 000 sizes mostly and when my DD turned up about 1 1/2 to 2 wks early I suddenly realised I had one 0000 outfit and that was it and she was almost falling out of the 000s - needless to say that first 0000 outfit got a lot of sponging down/emergency washes until I could get out later that week!!! The hugabubs were wonderful for both partner and me (he's 6/2 and I'm 5/1 and they worked brilliantly for both of us) and I have lent them out to many friends now but I must admit it did take a bit of practice to perfect the tension before/with bub in and not to twist the fabric. We did end up buying a soft backpack as the only downside was the hugabubs can only go on your front. The company only sells online but one size fits all and they come with instructional DVDs/videos so the biggest choice is colour. Ours are now 4 years old and had at least 6 bubs in them and still going so they are certainly durable. Sorry that was not meant to sound like a sales pitch and I promise I am not on anyone's payroll...
Erybery - didn't know you were a 'chalkie' - love that - haven't been near chalk since the mid 1990s :D
Megsmum - so close now!!! Hope the scan goes well on Monday for you!
Meredith - I'm sorry about your hair sweeting - it is a bit of a rip-off given that pg is supposed to kick in a bit of glamour for the hair and nails - Good on you keeping us in suspense with names!
AFM - did first 'spoiling' thing this pg and went and had a pg massage to help with shoulder and those wonderfully uncomfortable hips (love the protracted roll at night from one side to the other) we're all enjoying at the moment - and it was divine - it has helped bring relief and make me feel less like I have to try and study transcendental bloody meditation at night to actually achieve a bit of sleep. Am desperately trying to tie up work loose ends before 40th at end of month and would love to actually start filling in something in my damn pg journal - yay - got to wonder how long it will take me to catch up 7 months????
To all the lovely ladies gritting their teeth through nausea and m/s - my greatest sympathy goes out to you but the good news is - it usually does end with not too much of a chance of revisiting. :clap: There are some things I couldn't eat at all for four months as it either came straight back up again or I had to risk all day nausea if it managed to stay where I put it - so I feel for people who manage to eat and then find it doesn't agree with them no matter what they do...
Oh lord - apparently only 84 days to go now Chappas - got to say it is fun to feel :dance: and :wall: at the same time!!!!!
Beautiful full moon to everyone and enjoy the eclipse!
Karen van
:D
-
Karen van - glad the massage did the trick on your shoulder and hips :D
Meredith - that's very reassuring that Upsy is so active (despite her making a trampoline of your bladder LOL). My cervix was good at the last appointment so I actually cancelled my US appointment today. I just find them too stressful and worry about the ramifications of these constant 1/2 hour Level 2 scans... I have a couple of names in mind for our little one (male and female) but have not broached the subject with my picky DH yet...
Easha - did you manage one of the houses? Hope it is sorted soon for you :crossfingers: I know you must be getting keen to get a nursery sorted out.
Tam - I was thrilled to read about your 8/8 boy bump :dance: I had actually been thinking last week you might be approaching your EDD soon. When I was PG with DD I really packed it on the last couple of weeks - may also be the same for you, but 5.3lbs is pretty decent and I have heard the US are just a very rough guesstimate for bub's weight. If you do not manage to post again in the next week or so, GL with the birth hun - looking forward to reading your birth announcement :goodluck:
Megsmum - how are you feeling? :hug:
Lee - glad your MS has left the building and you are finally getting some shut-eye.
Chappas and Pash - saw the UK heatwave on the news. Not so enjoyable when you are PG. Hope you are getting some relief.
AFM - going fine. Bigger by the day. Ob appointment on Friday. If all goes well, am thinking it might be time to finally tell DD she is going to be a big sister :dance:
:hello: to everyone else
-
Megsmum - Hope the nursery is going well, Good luck for your scan on Monday
Tam - Wow 15th July not long now, im sure everything will be just fine.
Easha - Hope you have got sorted out with a place.
Karen - well at least we can count down the days together.
Meredith - Sorry to hear about the troubles with your hair, glad upsy is being an active little thing. Know what you mean about the bladder bouncing though.:lol:
WTH - Bet you are looking forward to telling DD the good news, Good luck for your app on Friday.
Pash - Only just realised from WTH post that you are from the uk too.
AFM - Just been for app with midwife, everything is going fine no signs of PE or Diabetes at the moment. Will have to see her again in three weeks as am measuring 2 weeks ahead as i had guessed (being so huge ) she thinks this little one is gonna show a bit earlier.
-
chappas - Glad to heat the midwife appt went well :) Hope your bubby doesn't get too big!
WTH - Feeling a bit better today thanks, yesterday was a bit cr@appy again. How exciting telling DD, I'm surprised she hasn't worked it out yet! Maybe she just thinks Mummy is getting a little fat :rofl: And look at your ticker too, you're nearly down to double digits now!!!
Karen V - Massage sounds lovely, I would love to go and have one but when you can't lie on either your back or your tummy anymore makes it a bit hard LOL I hear you about the roll too :rolleyes: its a major effort for me now!
Meredith - You are so right, I can't wait for those aches and pains to ease. I still remember back to after DD was born and the discomfort went and I got to come home from that nasty hospital bed and get back in my own bed, it was soooooo nice! And at least getting up to a baby all night is not as bad as just getting up to go to the loo all night LOL Anyway, I'm so glad that things are going along OK for you now except for the hair loss :( Funny how we don't seem to mind bubs dancing on top of our bladders anymore....mine likes to do it too.
Easha - Hope you've got the new place all picked out by now. Glad all your bloods are OK too :)
Tam - Good to hear from you again! I just happened upon one of your posts somewhere else here the other day and saw that you didn't have long to go now, wow I can still remember you getting your BFP! But try not to stress OK, you are nearly there now. Late ultrasounds can be quite a way off in predicting bub's final size too, I know someone who got told their baby looked like it was going to be really small and it was totally average when born. It is only an estimate after all, the main thing is that the placenta and amniotic fluid are good. GL with the rest of your pregnancy, hope to see you announcing it soon!
:hello: everyone else!
AFM, well I have had the delight of having the flu this last week :( So not impressed at getting one last (I hope!) dose of sickness this pregnancy! I'm not feeling too bad today, just a bit like I have a cold now with a runny nose, sore throat and a cough. But I think there may have been more to those aches and pain last week than I thought, they were really bad when I was feeling my worst late last week. Oh well....anyway, Monday's scan went well which was excellent. The placenta is still functioning well, amniotic fluid is good and bubby is still around the 50th percentile. I'm seeing the ob again next week so may be interesting to see where he wants me to go from now on. I can see no reason to be induced at 38 weeks like so many diabetic mothers are, but on the other hand after this last week of being crook as a dog I'm not sure I want to linger past 40 weeks either. 39 weeks would be a good time for bub to arrive I think ;) maybe wishful thinking....
-
HI All,
it feels like ages since I last posted in here.
megsmum oh I hope your flue is over quick that realy sux.
Chappas wow two weekly visits mine are 6 cant wait for the 2 weekly.
WTH goodluck Friday and goodluck with DD how old is she?
Karen Van, I've been slack with my diary too, heaps when I was TTC now I'm too tired or busy. But It's on the bench and I'm trying to do it at least once a week.
Meredith :hug: wigs are heaps of money for the good (real) ones. I'm not sure what your style is but I have some beautiful hair wraps from the hippy shop that I wear at home when I paint or cook,
Esha :hug: oh boy that sounds stressful, I hope your work is helping you out.
Tam my thoughts are with you 8/8 sounds great to me.
Lee who was the man?
Well the scan went great Monday DP saw out little bubba and boy was he/she active which prompted DP to say "it's a boy" oh boy men are interesting.
The OB gave me a referall to do a Downs scan but DP and I had a chat and I'm not wanting to do it. I think I'm low risk and don't want to do the amnio or abort so no point. Keep thinking possitive I reccon.
Was our 3rd anniversary yesterday and even though I was so tired we went out to tea and omg the present DP got me I'm still in shock, he got me a new computer! SS built it and it is so beautiful. I've got my car for sale atm and was going to use the funds to buy a pc and some baby stuff now I can focus on the baby stuff more :leap: very spoilt. Got a bit thingy about money but after all it's rude to not be happy about a gift.
Not long till my boss is back, can't wait to tell work, I feel like such a lier at the moment.
-
Hi All,
Where is everyone !!!!!!!!!! No one has been on here for days - more likely we are all too tired to even write a comment :lol:
Meredith - sorry about you hair but there are beautiful scarves out there to wear should you feel uncomfortable. Does the doc think this is a temporary thing and the hair should grow back after the babies born?
Karen - pregnancy massage - how lovely, will have to try and find the time myself to get one
WTH - how did the Ob appt go?
Chappas - 2 weeks ahead hey - scary though baby coming early, or is it?? You will have to be super organised with everything prepared early just in case.
Megsmum - not long for you now - how exciting/petrifying/anxious/ relieved you must be the time is nearly here
Greenslw - yay for a new computer !! Good luck with telling the boss
AFM - finally found a place to live and we move on 25/07. There is sooooo much to do and I am soooooo tired. Trying to do bits and pieces to take the load off on the day. Luckily I have tomorrow off so will do a bit of packing then although it doesn't take too much to exhaust me these days. Have hospital appt this week too. Will be nice to hear the heart beat. :dance:
6 weeks of work to go :happyforyou::happyforyou: cannot wait
Going for a lie down now speak soon
