ck - I totally understand your anxieties. It's ok to have a cry here and there if you need to, better out than in, I say. Don't feel guilty about feeling worried, it's natural and that will ease the further along you get.

Kristen - Thanks hun I am feeling a bit better today, DP seems to have snapped out of his funk and I haven't spoken to mum so I have nothing to complain about there lol. Good for you sticking with your exercise program, it'll do you a world of good! Your symptoms all sound promising too. When do you have your first scan??

Clairesmummy - Well until you can have faith in your abilities, I'll keep cheering you on. I feel positive about this pg for you too, your HCG seems really good and I can't wait to hear about your scan. Of course you'll be nervous, but that's totally natural after all it's taken to get this far. Yay for clomid!

Mildez - I hope the BH settles down a bit for you, it must have been really un-nerving!

Alish - FX those pains are stretching ligaments etc. I felt pretty crampy early on too so it seems fairly normal to me. Hang in there

Kellie - LOL men, huh? You've got it tougher than me, even. At least I don't have a toddler to run around after and part time work too! I've already warned my DP that the x-box is going to be a thing of the past once bubby arrives. Unless of course it's ok for me to hang out on the computer for hours on end while he entertains the baby.... hehe.

Angelfish - Argh, scary! Good to know all is ok and bubby is head down. I too get nervous having my BP taken, my doctor says not to worry that it's probably just nerves. I'm sorry your DP is so mean to you about petty things........... just ignore him. Bedrest is BEDREST. Not 'rest but make sure your man has someone look after him like he's a child'.

Ferrals - I am insanely jealous of the foot-rubs hehe. Don't get me wrong, DP is usually very considerate and lovely to me........ I think he was just having a crap week. Things at work have settled down a bit and he came home yesterday and said the house looked really clean, which to me means: "I'm sorry, I was a bastard." LOL. I hope the move goes well for you, it must be a tad stressful doing it all so late in your pg. We've flip-flopped over the idea of trying to move beforehand but I just don't think it's possible. Esp. if we have to break a lease to do so. Enjoy your days off!

Melster - Get yourself some Argan oil for your hair. Great stuff, and cures the 'straw' feeling. A good leave in conditioner is also a must Good for you, choosing to try vaginal before you commit to a c-sect. Yay for hearing a hb too!!

Damprye - Hooray for a great scan result!

Stoked - Yay 12 weeks!!!!! Congrats on the milestone. Let's get together and whinge about men in general... haaha. I actually had a friend at work who didn't announce her pg at all. I knew, mostly because I was pg too and noticed her wardrobe choices etc.... but she never made an official announcement. She just went about her business as usual, until her belly got so big everyone just knew.

Bec - Oh hun I am so sorry to hear your sad news.

AFM - Went to the Dr for my 32 week appointment (a little late but I had to wait for BT results). Unfortunately I have Gestational Diabetes. *huge sigh* Next week I'm off to the hospital to see the dietician and endocrinologist (sp?) I don't even know what the last one is............ confusing! Anyway Dr said about 1 in 100 women will develop GD, and I'm that one. He said he's never had so many highlighted results on a pg record.. lol. I do like to be colourful, but geez. On the up side though, my BP is 110/70 instead of the usual 150/70 so he said I must have traded in the BP issue for the GD. In other slightly more entertaining news, bubby has his/her bum poked out, which I thought was pretty cute. LOL and the dog just started snoring like a little pig sleeping next to me on the lounge. Hilarious.

Things with DP are much better, he's back in his normal groove, being silly and lovely and not complaining about stupid things. As usual I was right to just ignore it rather than start a big 'thing' over it. I hope everyone is well and belly rubs to all!
