Welcome, Sunshine! Warning that this thread is a little, um, adult... It's ferrals. I swear. I have nothing to do with it, and I certainly don't encourage her.

ferrals - I just had that happen yesterday, the tightenings after the big O. It was SO cool to watch!

Murray Coddy Woddy Fishsticks - what's your actual due date? I don't think I've managed to se it recently enough for it to sink in to my pregnesia-fuddled brain. 4th Feb? Or did I pull that from mid air?

I am sitting in the lounge with my feet up, on DH's strict instruction. I had a teeny tiny bit of swelling earlier in my legs, have been doing a lot of walking this weekend, so taking it easy and drinking heaps for the rest of the day. Already bored. Maybe starting mat leave at 23 weeks will be trickier than I thought...

I've done it again! I've fallen behind and just don't have the energy to read back over all the action in here to catch up. I need to go to paml confession. So, sorry for the me-ness here, but I don't have a clue what's going on in here!

I just wanted to say hooray for being 8 weeks tomorrow.

Hi Kit, Murray, um.... *blank stare* Audax, you've given your pregnesia to me! I promise to keep up from now on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[murraycod]

Yeah 4th Feb, OMG, 'sigh'.....

[luna moth]

Hopefully when I purge all this work rubbish from my brain it will improve

[ferrals5]

OMG! OMG! My levels are 4759 the nurse asked if i had 1 or 2 embryos TF as it is either a very strong pregnancy or twins F#CK! F#UCK i am going to faint.
I have a scan on the 12th of August and she also said they have had a few single embryo TF's lately that have spilt into identical twins.
OMG! OMG! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

Ferals that is awesome news, well done girl!!! Not long till your scan and till you know if youve got 2 little bubs on board. WOO HOO So happy for you!!

AFM have been reading all your posts but its just moving so fast in here now that i cant keep up to do persies so i apologise if i dont seem to chatty
Staying away from DP at the moment coz hes sick as a dog, has 'Man Flu' and has been vomitting all arvo so im steering well clear. Also just found out today that my grandma is down for holidays for 2 weeks so now kinda hoping bubs decides to arrive early so she can meet her great grandson, i havent seen her in about 18 months so its very exciting.
Take care ladies, talk soon

hi girls seen my ob today and he did a scan all is well took recordings for about 10+ minutes of bubs wiggling about bump was very active! i asked him about my chances of loosing bubs, he said 2% or less as bub is strong real active and strong heart beat, he personally thinks we are all good which has made my day! dh loved seeing bump wiggling and doing things i think it made it real seeing a little baby ob said bump reminds him of a "tiny teddy" lmao! so i have had a wondeful day i am so happy to know things are well oh and bump is measuring still 2 days smaller so i might actually have a teeny bub! the boys were huge lol, so maybe girl????? hehe so happy i think i might get my laybys off soon so i can stare at baby things all day!

[angelfish]

marrycod my due date is the 9th of feb so we are not far away from each other
ashie happy to hear that you got great news when it came to the dr appointment

[dory]

FERALS - OMG ----- how to be over the moon and scared witless all at once..... the prospect of twins is so precious darling... but I just want your bubba/s to stay sticky and healthy!

MURRAY - I see your ticker sneakily ticking along.... very cool.

Audax - welcome to my world.... I have been away from work and "resting" since week 7 or 8. Arghh. Some days its ok, and others its so lonely. But as time went on it was better. And I was allowed to sneak out occassionally, which was a god send. I could have coped with strict bed rest if I had to, but glad I haven't had to yet... But now I am used to it.... I am trying to motivate myself to get the washing in..... but who cares if I don't?

Elise - yukko - poor DH ( I reckon he can actually feel sorry for himself, just not expect much from you!) and I agree with you STAY AWAY. Is he any better today? Fingers crossed you manage to avoid the bug he has.

Ashie - good news... ope it helps you manage the journey.

Forshelby - I am with you and Audax, not really with it. Will have to go and catch up and come back.

AFM - all good here - 33 weeks. Totally blows my mind. I am still not a true believer yet, that bubs will come home, but DH told me last night after our first antenatal class ever that he was actually really excited. How cute. His eyes shone. He seemed to enjoy the male bonding time with the other expectant dads last night. They were outside all laughing at one point. It was so nice ( and a good reminder to me) to hear them laughing, genuinely laughing and having so much optimism. Only 3 more sleeps til my little fur baby comes home from his 3 week sojourn at the vets. Yay!

[dory]

Hoping - sweeite - I know you're porbably not still reading in here, but I missed your post, and I feel so so sad for you. I am sorry I missed you post... I didn't ignore it and prattle on with my own stuff. I am so very sorry your little bubs didn't have a heartbeat.... I hope you are managing to find a way through your pain and anguish. Thinking of you.

Ms Kara - hope things are going ok.... I am sorry you didn't quite get the news you were hoping for.


Sunshine and Stars - welcome..... it's always hard when you get close to those significant dates.... go gently.

Hubba - 'course you can join.... it is racey in here with the ttc'ers!

Sorry girls I have to let down the side.... NO HORNBAG here. I think my desire packed up and went to elsewhere for the duration. DH and I have a fantasy ( or maybe its just me) that once the stitch comes out, we will at least get one sausage sizzle in before bubs arrival.....stitch comes out in 5 weeks...... bring it on! LOL. I told DH today no promises but if I keep talking it up then maybe I'll get my mojo back right on cue.

[ashie]

dory- lmao hmm hiding the sausage is always a good idea before bubs arrival, specially once bubs is here mojo might disappear for awhile lol. yay for fur baby coming home in a few days! i love my fur and feather bubs i been told i have too many lol.

afm- watched the video of bump, and guess what i missed but picked up, bump was showing his or hers toes and feet off at 10 weeks i saw teeny toes and feet i could not believe it! bub was active bub didnt like rolling bub would start but then go meh and roll back (dh's genes lmao!) but loved showing off those little feet and arms, so i think i may have a kicker and puncher! which is good cause the boys were rollers forward or sideways didnt matter they would roll! m/s has disappeared alot which is good and im keeping on the 1kg i've put on yay!

[ferrals5]

Dory-you crack me up with the sausage sizzle and not long now to you get to met your bub.

Ashie-great news your little one is all good and i wouldnt worry to much about measuring a few days behind with my 3 boys they were all a week or 2 smaller than my dates they were just little babies and my 12 year old he was so small the doctor had trouble working out his head from his bum so i had to have a few extra scans he came 3 weeks early and was 5 pound 15 ounces and 45cm long sooooooooooo little but nothing compared to Abbi's tiny 180 grams 18 cm long.

Eliselouise-so close now you must be so excited.

Hello to everyone else i will pop back in tonight just in the middle of cooking.

AFM-Had a phone consult with our geneticist today he has booked us in at 11.5 weeks for our CVS at the fetal medicine unit i don't have to get referrals or anything he said i am a special VIP patient and they dont see smith lemli opitz syndrome it is rare for a baby to be born with it so all the doctors are very interested in this pregnancy i dont want to be a VIP i want to be a normal jo blow but it is good to know they are on the ball and ready for what is to come he said just before i got off the phone to relax take it easy and remember we have a 3 out of 4 chance that this baby is normal.
I am also booked into have my U/S next thursday at 9am so i am hoping for 1 healthy strong bubby in there.

[dory]

OMG Ferals, I don't know if I have a dirty mind or just needed to be wearing my glasses but in your post where you say "jo blow", I thought you'd written "blow job". OMG I nearly fell out of bed with shock... but then I realised the mistake was mine. LOL. It will be a long wait for the CVS huh? I know what you mean, even though I am high risk, I have only seen the MFS once. At first I was disappointed because I really like him and there is never a dull moment, but then I realised it was a good thing to be a "jo blow". I am hoping you get to be a jo blow after for CVS.... so your scan is next week? Wee little Abbi, tiny but so precious. How are your DS coping with your preg?

Ashie - glad I could make you smile.

[eliselouise]

Haha dory maybe i too have a dirty mind coz thats what i first seen when i read "jo blow" and then realised that it was just me
Ferals yep getting very excited now as im this close, technically full term now so bubba could arrive any day. Good luck with your u/s next thursday, im sure everything will be just fine and you may even have 2 healthy bubbas in there
Ashie glad the m/s has dissapeared and you are feeling better, oh if only i could remember what it was like to have only put on 1kg and be happy to keep it on. I have put on so much weight and feel so huge. Cant wait to get back walking again and loose these extra kilos
Dory at getting in one sausage sizzle before bubs arrival. I too wish i had a bit more mojo but nothing. Im not sure whether its just because its so uncomfortable or what it is but DP would just love it if i said to him "righto lets go" As for him being sick hes a little better today. He milked this morning for 3 hrs then came home and slept all day and is milking again tonight for a couple of hours but when i left at 2pm he said he was feeling better so thats a good thing. Hopefully ive avoided it. YAY to getting your furbaby home soon
AFM had a lovely catch up with one of the girls i met in my birthing classes today. I was so nervous to catch up because i find it really hard to get to know people but i was so surprised, she is so lovely and we have so much in common and we sat and chatted for nearly 2 1/2 hrs. She is due 1 week before me so its lovely to get to know someone who will be sharing the same jorney (other than you girls of course )
When i woke up this morning i thought i was coming down with something coz i had a shocking headache, had panadol and it still wouldnt budge but now im thinking that ive put my neck out again so i think id better get back to the physio and get that sorted before i go into labour, i dont think i need any extra pain at that time
Take care everyone
