Welcome Indi1, I reckon go get the BT done for the interrim between now and the U/S. Will help to put your mind at rest and give you a more enjoyable time over Christmas! As Tash said, your levels were rising well early on, I have no idea what mine have been cos docs have never done them, they always told me it wasn't necessary :P go figure!
Wow Tash that's really early! Are you peeing heaps? That's something I had for most of the first trimester, it drove me incredibly insane as I didn't remember that happening with the other two. Died down after around 10 weeks or so but has started up again of course!
Take care all, I'm heading off on holidays tomorrow so will be away til Christmas! Stay safe and happy and keep all those beautiful babies growing!
Smallfryplus it's a surprise, but when I look at my baby pic I think it looks like a girl but others thing boy so who knows, only a few weeks till I do... Well done on the low weight gain, I haven't weighed but I don't think I've put on much either. Sorry to hear your buba is not were she should be but 6 weeks is a long time to change Turn bubba turn.
Tanya I hope you enjoyed the concert
Twinsister enjoy your time away and relax
Welcome tashybabe,
Welcome Indi1
Nice to see some happy vibes before Christmas.
Well my scan was great! plecenta has moved and is now on the back wall well away from the exit! bubs is the right weight size and there is plenty of fluid. Wonderful. I've done so well my OB said I can now go a week over if bubs needs it not exit on EDD. so very very happy that we've exceded all expectations. As if there was any doubt!
4 weeks of work to go but only (durm roll) 12 days. I feel the need to stop but I need to clean my office and do a propper handover. Then I need to let it go. This is the hard bit, It will be fine but being the control freek I am I worry, but at the end of the day it's not up to me all the time is it......
Hi everyone - just thought I would pop in to wish everyone a very merry christmas. To those who have had babies this year - enjoy your first christmas with your beautiful miracles. For those who are pregnant and due in 2010 - I wish you all the very very best.
Welcome to all the new people in this thread too - hope you have very happy and healthy pregnancies.
AFM: Looking forward to my first christmas as a mummy. Little Molly is an absolute delight and seems to change every day. We have had some challenges along the way so far - Molly seems to have silent reflux plus a very weak suck so feeding has been a big problem (and as a result she has had sleep issues too) - my time is taken up with lots of expressing and feeding molly with a bottle (which is sometimes a battle). Anyway think she has turned a corner and is sleeping better and looks to be gaining weight again - thank goodness. Am soooo grateful to have this precious miracle in my life though and am loving being a mummy at last. I would like to thank everyone in this forum for your support this year - pregnancy after miscarriage is very stressful as you would all know but soo worth it in the end, and being able to vent in this forum is a godsend.
Wow.. I can't beleive I'm actually posting in here again!! I've been reading for a week or so but haven't built up the courage to actually post!! By my unreliable calculations (I have a crazy cycle), I'm only 5w 1d and am already starting to... hmmmm, what are the right words... crap myself!! LOL. My last loss was in August, so I'm extremely happy to be pg again already but the pain of it all is far too fresh in my mind. Both my losses were missed m/c.. so no signs at all until the u/s.. which really sucks. I'm constantly wondering if my little jellybean is still with us. Thankfully, for the first time ever.. I've got a few symptoms.. which is just BRILLIANT!! I want to be as sick as possible.. just to be reasurred even a tiny bit! I didn't have any m/s with DS or any of my other pg. It's so strange and makes me worry even more. So I'm one of those crazy, obsessive people who just desperately wants to hurl!! LOL.
Anyway, I hope everyone is ready for Christmas... even though we can't enjoy lots of the good food that comes with it!! I'm looking forward to somehow getting through the next 8 months with you all. At the moment, I'm just hanging out for the next 7 weeks to be over.
Couldn't resist popping in to wish you all the happiest of Christmases.
To Greenslw and Smallfry: So happy you are now both on the home stretch. Hope you both put up your feet for Christmas and enjoy lots of guilt-free helpings of Christmas pud
To Mollycat - I'll bet you are holding your new bubba in your arms right now. Can't wait to read your BA!
Megsmum - thank you soooo much for your on-going support and friendship. It really made the world of difference.
Welcome to Indi, Kelly and Tash. Wishing you all H&H pregnancies
Tanya and Twinsister - hope the remainder of your pregnancies are super smooth sailing.
Babymiracles - enjoy your beautiful bubba and husband for Christmas. Hope 2010 brings you even more joy
If I have missed anyone, I still have pregnancy brain (they do say it comes out with the placenta LOL). It is probably time for me to graduate from here, though I don't think I will be able to resist poking my head in from time-to-time.
Good health, good fortune and good cheer to you all in 2010.
i have been slack and not posting. i hope everyone has a wonderful xmas. it is such an awesome 'family' time. for those with their little bubbas - enjoy the mircale of having your babies in your arms - for all those expecting - enjoy your bubbas in your bellies - i know i will be.
this forum has made such a difference to my life and you are all wonderful. i would hate to think how i would cope without it. i still lurk in the ttcml thread and it breaks my heart to still see the girls who helped me daily still in there. i hope they are in this thread very very soon.

greenslw - you are nearly there! wahoo! enjoy your last few weeks of work. i can't imagine not coming to work 5 days a week and the control freak in me will find it hard to let go but i'm sure once bub arrives i won't care.

Kelly, Indi and tashyababe - Welcome to this wonderful thread and all the very best for a H&H 9 months!

WTH - What can I say? Thank you too for your support and friendship, I really don't think I would have made it through this pregnancy and stayed sane without you
Twin Sister and Tanya - Hi and lots of sticky vibes coming your way!

Babymiracles enjoy your first mummy Christmas take loads of photos and enjoy
Kellym well welcome and I hope you are feeling a little more at ease every day. Have a wonderful Christmas and try to keep busy
WTH thank you for the Christmas wishes I hope you and your bigger family have a great time. Also I'm off my chocolate and caffine free 9 months so I'm hoping to really enjoy a few pleasures again.
zstar glad to hear there are other control freaks out there enjoy Christmas being pg at Christmas is so special.
Megsmum thank you for the warm wishes I can't wait, just the transition from belly to cuddles that is a little concerning. But Squeak will be out one way or another. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas
ATM I am like this smiling fat lady (I even thought of putting on the santa suit at work the other day) after all I have the rosey cheeks and belly! My client Chrismas party was great 30+mums 50+kids and it was almost perfect.
All organised for Christmas can't wait to relax at some point I am in FULL nesting mode. I usually don't sit till 9pm, just cleaning and fussing.
Countdown to maternity leave is on, all I need to do is clean my office and I"m out of here on the 14/1.
My Birthday is on the 4/1 and I am still stuck for what is pg friendly. DH is so bad with ideas. Maybe tea out, I normally like to go shopping but with my body the way it is I don't think that's a good idea. NOTHING FITS now.
Just wanted to pop in and wish you all a Merry Christmas.
AND...................
to let you know that Matilda Amy Grace arrived on 22/12/09 She is just gorgeous and being very spoilt by her two big brothers (not to mention her mummy and daddy).
Mollycat, that's great news!! Congratulations on your little Christmas girl and such a beautiful name too
To everyone else, I can't believe how busy it suddenly got in here over the last week! I dunno, go away for a week and come back to lots of catch ups!
We just spent a week at Inverloch (near wilson's prom) with my DH's parents and our two girls. Was great even though I got myself severely sunburnt on the legs.
greenslw, not long now and you'll have a couple of weeks of leisure before your little one is born. As for your birthday, dinner out isn't such a bad idea, your fave restaurant or something. That's what we did for mine last month.
Christmas in our house was great. Had the girls for christmas morning and it was beautiful (alternate years with their father, this year was our turn), they were such fun. It's hard not having that every year. Big christmas lunch over at our place with most of the family and that managed to work out really well too. All in all, can't complain at all. Today is over at my mum's house and will most likely be a totally different affair... fingers crossed it doesn't turn into a disaster.
Hope everyone is really well and happy and that Christmas was a happy event for all. Looking forward to a new year and another new start to life!
Mollcat Congrats and well done on pre Christmas baby she is just beautiful
Smallfry we didn't have DSS this year but he's back for my B'day. I would be nice to have them all the time. Glad your Christmas went well and goodlcuk for today.
My Christmas was wonderful, really calm, bit quiet but good. Spoke to my Brother and SIL and my nephews in Canada for an hour or so on web cam, spoke to my dad and his family on the phone and ate heaps! but feel really good today after a good sleep in (9am) and only 2 wake ups during the night
What is everyone up to for New years? I think we might stay at home which is SO boring but I don't think I'm up to PARTY PARTY either, this is a hard time of the year to be pg isn't it.
PS: Whoops, sorry Zstar for missing you in my recent post. I knew I missed out someone important! Glad to read everything is going great. Best wishes for the final weeks, and looking forward to seeing your BA, too x
Congrats Mollycat! A little princess just in time for xmas!!! Sooooo happy for you!!!! Bring on the bubbas!!!!
WTH - you make me smile!
big hi to everyone else. hope you had a great xmas. mine was great. lots of family and xmas cheer. have eaten way too much but i do it every year! part of the fun. off now to have reflexology of my sore feet. far out, they kill me everyday. oh well, if that is my only complaint i am doing well. love to all.
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and isn't too hot for New Year.
Sorry I've been AWOL - just busy doing end of year stuff, combined with stupid fatigue. Just really really tired. Also started spotting yesterday, which is freaking me out (worse today). I know it's normal and might not mean anything, but it happened at the same time (to the day) with the last pregnancy. I've put myself on bedrest until it stops. Of course the GP is closed until Monday, so there's not alot I can do until then anyway. I'm trying not to worry, but it's hard when I have cramps and backache like my period is on its way.
so very very happy that we've exceded all expectations. As if there was any doubt!
I had the same thing happen to me with DD1, it is so hard expressing and feeding. I'm so glad you have turned the corner though and hope you enjoy your first Xmas as a mummy hun 
too to anyone I may have missed. Wishing everyone a very happy Xmas and may 2010 be the best year ever!
on the 14/1.
but he's back for my B'day. I would be nice to have them all the time. Glad your Christmas went well and goodlcuk for today.
YAY MOLLYCAT! 
Welcome little Matilda, just in time for Santa.
