Mmmmm.. icecream! Everything give me indegestion atm!! Can't wit for the next few weeks to be over!! Cummon 2nd tri!! Had a bad day yesterday, was in bed at 7:30!! Feeling ok today. Had all my hair cut off this morning... so much lighter!!
Green, your baby is almost ready to meet you! How exciting!!
hehehe last night I consumed an outrageous amount of food! Equivalent to about what I have normally eaten over two or three days and just in one sitting!! (admittedly the sitting lasted several hours and involved several trips back to the kitchen to find more food!!)
greenslw - I have an awesome ob. She likes to make sure all bases are covered. It's funny that she goes into such detail sometimes because I found out she doesn't take first timers (not sure why!) yet she goes into that amount of detail. It's great, everything is explained. She's great...
cherished - how're you going today? U/S yes?
kirsten - how many tests are you up to now? I only did one this time, when it showed BFP I didn't want to do any more just in case they didn't show BFP! lol funny how our minds work differently. Are you feeling any better today? It's a long road and I pray it will be a good one for you
tanya - indigestion sucks. Does ginger tea or ginger/b6 tablets help? And 7:30 in bed!!? I WISH! I Can barely get the kids to bed by then let alone me. Not sure I could sleep that long anyway, seems whenever I lay down I'm awake 5 minutes later to pee. It drives me batty. And if I spend too long in bed, I end up with really sore hips so I figure late nights are the way to go, then I'll be tired already when the baby is born and accustomed to hardly any sleep! hahaha
Milly - how are you hon? Everything going ok? thinking of you
sunny, twinsis, tashybabe, eliselouise, I hope you are well, sending to you all and keep those wonderful
have I missed anyone? Oh boy, I hope not but I'm sure I have! Now where's Dory? And tinar? hope you're well xox
Tanya for hair cut, I did the same but a month later it grew back to the same length, gota love hormones. 2nd trimester was great for me. If pg was like my 2nd trimester I'd have 10 babies. Maybe it's good it's not.
Smallfry love the rolling feast. Did you have company? I feel like lots of food all at the same time but when I get to the kitchen I loose my enthusiasm and end up with crackers or a glass of milk. Effort minimal, but if I had a personal chef
Very exciting news from DH..... His boss has come to the party with his hours come April so he'll be able to work longer 4 days a week and have Thursday off to be a daddy. I'm so so so happy. I decided that I can handle 2 days in child care but no more and now I don't have to. It is so nice to see work places being flexable with men and women, although my boss said "no" to a day at home, but for a good reason I guess being the boss it's important to be at work. blah blah blah. I'll still have some "mummy days" I reccon.
greenslw, that's great news about DH and time off. I did the work longer thing for a day off for a while until they finally allowed me to go part time. It was tough but well worth it. As for your boss not letting you have a day at home, that kinda sucks. It seems quite unfair! I mean, bosses can have a day at home. There's no reason why not. It's a matter of trusting the team. Would they allow one day a fortnight?
My rolling feast was mostly on my own. I had dinner with the kids in the evening (DH was playing golf) then went to the supermarket for supplies while he ate (kids were in bed) and when I got home, started in on icecream, apple crumble, pineapple and rockmelon! It were so good
tanya - how short is short? how long was it before? I just had mine cut a week or two back, it's finally all one length again now. A nearly shoulder length bob. Totally lacking in requiring any time other than brushing it in the morning now! Perfect for a new mummy
SFP, it's short... like no way am I going ot get a pony tail from a looooon time!! It was down about to my underarms.... so a big chop
Awesome, Green! Good to hear daddy will have some extra time with bubby too
Feeling very yuck atm! DP has gone to sydney so he won't be back until tomorrow night. I have a SANDS meeting tomorrow night... not sure if I can go now
tanya - oooh short short I keep doing that and then growing it out... couple of times have shaved it off for charity from about armpit length. I am fortunate to have very fast growing hair as I get bored with it frequently. Hope you're able to get to your meeting tonight and that you're feeling a little better today (not too much better though because that would just be stressful).
kirsten - so 15 now? That's an excellent number and it's really encouraging that they're continuing to get darker!
I found the same thing with losing mine, I didn't mention the first time to my family when it happened, only DH as it was before we were married and we weren't planning, I had murena (IUD) in and it failed - fell out and I didnt' realise. By the time I realised, I didn't realise it was too late, went on the pill and somehow that triggered a m/c. The bleeding and pain wasn't like anything I knew before so I did a test and it was faint but positive so I knew it was a m/c. Second time we were trying and we told everyone when I got a BFP at 5 weeks. It was easter weekend and we were visiting DH parents and my Dad interstate so thought we'd tell them all in person... two days later I woke up and was miscarrying. It was awful. People around me didn't want to talk about it and didn't want to really aknowledge it had happened. It was kind of, well, so early it doesn't count or it must have been a normal period and not a bfp... yeah... right! That's when I discovered bellybelly and joined up. I've found it amazing to be surrounded by such a supportive group of women who all understand where I'm coming from and provide words of comfort at just the right time in just the right way. It's been an incredible experience.
This time around, I somehow knew from the beginning that it was going to stick. I don't know why. I still had quite a bit of fear but something felt right that, retrospectively, hadn't felt right when I m/c at easter. Really hard to put my finger on it and realistically, it could just have been that easter was a baby boy and this is a girl and my two term pregs were girls so it just felt 'normal' to me!
I'm rambling again now and totally off topic... sorry!
tinar - great to hear from you and I'm really pleased things are going so well and that you've done a monster shop for baby! It is so much fun isn't it?!! I love nothing more than wandering into a shop intent on picking up baby stuff!
How incredibly weird having to apply for your own job! My sis in law works for QLD government. I hope you get the job!
Eat little and often. Or do the sustagen thing like I had to for ages. It's only in the last week (literally) that I've found myself wanting actual food instead of just drinks.
cherished - I've been the same through this pg until recently. Hormonal in a cuddly affectionate way. Problem is that DH is incredibly paranoid about BDing so it's been a struggle! lol
Fantastic scan results too
eliselouise - glad your scan has helped you to feel more comfortable. The moody will come and go. A girlfriend and I were chatting the other day and concluded that if we were our partners, we'd kick us out cos we're such moody cows!! lol
childers have just woken... better go tend to them
Have wonderful day everyone and special hello's to those I've missed this time! xox
Thanks for your replies. Not that it's nice for any of us, but it's so good to know I am not alone. Thank-you.
Small-fry - thanks and I'm glad your foot is getting better! Oh, and icecream is an ESSENTIAL!
Karen van - thank you for your post.
kristen - hugs. You too sound like me - I thought my last angel was a sticker too. My boobs swelled so much I even had a blocked milk duct, and MS to boot. Although I had some bleeding, I experienced no cramping at all and I even had a scan the day before, saw the heartbeat and got the a-OK. I am just hoping that "third time lucky" rings true for us.
Cherished - thanks hon, and I'm jeallous that your hormones are "lovey dovey" mine are teary and emotional! Oh, and the MS has kicked in with a vengence!!
OK, so I may have done a few (4 OK) more tests and the line is getting darker thank goodness.
The only disturbing thing is this dull ache I have in my abdomen. It isn't really painful, more uncomfortable. You'd think after 6 pregnancies that nothing would be new, but I must say, this has never happened before. I am VERY concerned and keep expecting to find blood when I go to the toilet, but as of yet, none. I was going to try and hold off going to the Doctor for as long as possible, telling myself that if something was going to go wrong, there was plenty of time for it to happen before I actually acknowledged the existence of this baby. I think I am telling myself that it will just be a period if/ when it happens, but after I go to the doctor I know that any bleeding will be a miscarriage. So off to doc tomorrow to see about the discomfort and a referral to my ob.
I am 4 weeks 1 day. Would anything show up on a scan yet? Not necessarily wanting to see a HB, but knowing something was actually growing in there would be a relief (had a blighted ovum last time and go to 9 weeks before anyone realised there was a sac, placenta, and symptoms but no baby!)
Hope everyone else is hangin in there. Last pregnancy the ms was so bad I went and got a prescritpion for some maxolon to get me through. Only took it a couple of times before we mc'ed but it seemed to do the trick if you're really desperate.
enjoy the icecream, it really helps heart burn too, so it's almost like medicine!
soon,
