Possum- My bub seems to move almost constantly yet I still feel exactly the same as you. I'll be busy for so long and then I'll have a sudden realisation that I havn't felt bub move in ages and I'll go lay down until I do because it is all that can even begin to settle me and I logically know that the reason I havn't felt the movements is because I am too busy with DS or cleaning (those seem to go together though ) but I don't think that anything can ever stop us worrying over our bubs because we love them so much
No need to apologise for saying "it" cos when people ask what you're having, one of the common phrases is "so do you know what it is yet?" My general response to that is "it's a baby " but that's because I'm being a smart arse to my friends cos they know I'm not finding out haha.
I just noticed that the fruit tickers say that a banana is bigger than a rockmelon, IMO, Id rather be pushing out a damn banana
Reet- My friend hit her due date and decided that she was going to go over but nope, just before midday, baby engaged and she had him a few hours later lol. Woohoo for getting all excited and going shopping, it does make things a lil more real once you have everything although it is still nothing in comparison to actually holding your lil one in your arms of course ^.^
T-Hopes- Isn't it scary when you look at a date and think to yourself "my baby is going to be here on or by then" and whoa, what a chubba bubba
possum - lol the baby is the size of a banana, how funny!!!
its normal to "stress" some nights i think omg somethings happened cuz in the past week or so bubba has been going mental, last night it was very quiet, brett still got to feel it moving but it wasnt for long! hugs, youre not alone xx
p.s i call the baby it all the time!
reet - oh my god 6 days to go!! time has really flown glad your mum helped you out, you prob feel a bit more prepared! you can wash half of the things now, things can always be washed once you get home, not that youll prob feel like it anyway but at least you wont be under as much pressure before the baby comes! its good that youre not feeling over it either, youve seemed to have a really "breezy" pregnancy (not without the stress), thats good!
i have 15 weeks left of work, i said im finishing on the 5th aug, which will make me 35 weeks, now that im thinking about it, is that too soon or late? what do you ladies think?
i want to try and work as long as i can but working on my feet in a hardware all day is doing its toll now, i cant imagine when im that far along how stuffed ill be, plus we cant afford for me not to work
forshelby - as ive said before, you are a great mother and you are doing a great job, axel wouldnt want any other mummy! xox
thopes, sorry the news you got wasnt exactly what you wanted, on the plus side, you will have your beautiful baby in your arms in 6 weeks!! and yay for swaddling.... i dont even know what that is yet haha! im guessing its wrapping the baby up?
tegam - hows miss molly? im still in love with that picture!
hey dory & ferrals, hows it going?
hello to the ladies ive missed, i hope youre doing well
got my appointment today, hopefully baby co-operates & we can find out the sex! will let you know
Possum - I just bought that book 'Baby LOve.' My g/f's swear by it so good to hear that you recommend it too! I can completely relate to still feeling anxious about bub! I thought once i hit that 20wk mark i would be fine but I didnt either! I kept using my doppler till about 24 wks cause i was so paranoid! By then the movements were a lot more regular for me so i settled in to it more.. BUt some days when im flat out and not focusing on it as much, i guess i miss a lot of the movements and then i think ' OMG, how long has it been since i felt anything?' As Dampyre said, we love these babys so much it hurts! We have dreamed of them, hoped and prayed for them... Try to ignore that little voice in your head that is saying something may go wrong.... If you listen really closely, your heart will let you know that everything will be ok xx
Alish - im finishing up work next Friday so just b4 i hit 34 wks. I was worried it was too early but so glad i am now cause this little one will be hear earlier than we thought! So are you able to sit down at all at your work? Good luck for todays scan and my guess for you is GIRL!
Dampyre - I think REET is next to pop!! And *GULP*... I think i may be next??!
Reet - I know what you mean about the newborn and holding them! I used to be so worrried about supporting their neck too!!! Im fine about it these days cause i have 8 nieces and nephews so my sisters helped me work it out there but gosh it used to worry me Yep we have so much to learn but they will teach us heaps in hospital i guess!! And i guessing we will never stop learning!!! Glad to hear you are feeling so well!! Its wonderful! I hope your birth is just as smooth sailing as your pregnancy too!!! xx
AFM - Well i best be off, we have our scan this morning to check out my kidneys and our little chubba bubba! Gosh i really hope Melb IVF didnt accidentally inseminate me with elephant sperm! Gosh!
PS thanks for all the bum/haemorrhoid advice! hhehehe! Eeew its so gross!
well i had my scan today & he said he couldnt see much but he wouldnt tell me if he didnt know.. he wants me to double check at the big scan buttttt.....
Alish! Ohhhhh yayayyaaya! A baby girl! How exciting!! Correct guess for me!!! IM sooo tempted sometimes to peek in our envelope and check!!!! When is your proper scan?
Our scan went well, bubs est weight now 5lb 3oz so still big but now only measuring 2wks aheead instead of 2.5wks which is good for the possibility of a natural birth?!! Maybe!?! Anyway my doc will decide whats best still i guess! Anyway bub is happy and healthy so we are very pleased! Head still down and low and wasnt as camera shy today so we got a few pics! Yayay! My kidney is still the same but thats to be expected! Under 6wks to go now so im sure we will be fine!
Alish- Congrats again on getting a girl and only you can decide what is right for you when it comes to work and leave
T-Hopes- Lol I wanted to get the sex of mine put in an envelope but I know that I would be too and then I would be really disappointed because I really want a surprise lol. I wont be disappointed with either one but yeah, if I peeked, it would just take away one of the few things I am looking forwards to doing differently than DS because this is my last so I wont have another chance to try again. I know that I remember you saying ages ago, but what is wrong with your kidneys? I have real bad baby brain
AFM- Sitting in hospital with DS. We are staying overnight for observation. He managed to get hold of some pills and his BP was 158 over 95. Thankfully it has started to come down so he is being downed to two hourly and as he continues to improve, it will be 4hrly So glad he is ok as it could have been SO much worse
Thanks girls for kind supportive words. Good to be reminded i'm not the only one worrying about how much movement there is.
T-hopes: Elephant sperm! Can you imagine???!!!!
Alish: A girl! That's lovely! very exciting!
Damprye: OMG i agree with you about the fruit ticker: I'd so much rather deliver a banana than a rockmelon!!! I don't get it that they've put it in that order. (I suppose a banana is longer but a rockmelon is waaaaay wider! Ouch!!!)
AFM: Feeling a bit better today: Baby has been kicking at the front again and more active than the last two days.
) but I don't think that anything can ever stop us worrying over our bubs because we love them so much
