Hi --
crashing here-- Had an 8 week u/s and all was well. Good heartbeat and good growth...They did say that there was another embie that didn't make it; not viable; two weeks behind w/ no heartbeat. But I am really happy that we have a healthy singleton so far.
I am writing to ask for prayers, sticky vibes, positive thoughts... The "anniversary" of my former miscarriage is coming up...and I really am trying not to be anxious, but, well...
Wow, sunshine! That's ace, what a fab day to be born! See, dory, TWO of us. Tell your baby that! Great news on your heartbeat, sunshine, fingers crossed for your little one.
sunshine frist off congrats on the the heartbeat i will be praying for you and sending sticky vibes. i remmber with this one the frist time the tech said there is a a hb i asked three times are you sure is it a strong hb. And i love your sceen name!
AFM i am getting ready for a week long camping trip with the b/f and his two little brats opps did i say that i dont know out of the three once ones will be worse i am just planning on reading and catching up on sleep if i can. Having a problem with sleeping latly.
Murray - for some reason I missed your post about 2 pages ago.... I know what you mean... the hard uterus thing.... mine has changed now... and it seems like my whole abdomen is hard. But constipation and full bladder arghh. You had me nodding with agreement about not being able to bend etc. I have worked out this method of putting on my undies that basically looks a lot like fly fishing... I just keep going til I snag a leg - much easier than trying to bend. LOL. Maybe you could get the oldies to try that? And about the lounge thing.....I think Tegam mentioned it.... sooooooo true. even with a pillow behind my back I look like a turtle stuck on their back, except I have a short neck..... I also found I became LOT more comfortable once bubs turned from being breech to head down. I still reckon I look fat and not preggers, but DH and Obs have been saying for ages I look preggers. Sorry that you're getting fat comments - just blow them a raspberry.
Audax - lovely to hear you are glowing..... even in trackie dacks ....I have been getting that comment for ages... and finally I am starting to feel like I am. How cool. I am at the stage where I want to get to 40 weeks, as I really want to experience every aspect of this pregnancy. But 17 Sept would be ok To be honest I would be happy with any day in September.
HPL - Audrey is on my list of names... how cool. DH says he has no idea and likes all of my ideas. So that's something...
Angel - enjoy the camping.... hopefully its relaxing.
Tegam - I am with you... just about anything can make me cry at the mo .... including the tantrum throwing little tyke I saw today... or weirdly, DH took me out to watch some out rigger canoe racing and I just cried and cried. Not sobs, but I couldn't stop the tears. We just agreed to try and ignore them in the hope they would go away.... they did eventually. Which ad did it for you?
Ferrals - it is so good to see you in here.....
Sunshine - well done! It will be hard coming up to your angel versary..... just go with the flow on the day.
AFM - we've got the car seats now. we splurged and bought two - one for each car. but it was kind of cool to be buying two, as we would have bought two for the twins, and it was a tangible connection to their pregnancy and this pregnancy. ended up getting the safe and sound compaq - it rated most highly on the choice and CREP report ( available from NRMA and RACV web sites) and DH was determined to get this one. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of some, and the little one might grow out of it a little sooner than some of the larger ones... but that's a problem that's at least another 2 years away.
The other really poignant thing was doing a tour of the birthing suites at the hossy during the antenatal classes. I was worried I would get upset. But the group was shown one suite and then was open to us to look at another one. The other two were in use! DH and I waited til the group had moved on, then went into the birthing suite where we met our wee Amelia. Instead of being gutted, I just felt a sense of peace and serenity and contentment - almost nostalgia. DH said the same. A long way from being nervous about even going into the hossy or past the the outside doors to the birthing suites.
Oh the other thing? DH said he almost cried during the birth video ( it was more a montage set to some earthy new world music and about two shots of birth itself, most of it was just the woman in the first stage of labour) as once the baby was born the mother had a particular smile on her face, and DH said he said that's what he remembers most about after Amelia was born, the particular look/smile on my face. Who would think I could have smiled at a time like that? But our wee little girl was just so beautiful and precious and ours, and I felt so blessed, even in that moment to have the privilege of sharing my life with her. Hard to explain really. I certainly didn't expect those feelings. Glad I did though.
Anyway, I am off to read that article and see if it brings a tear to my eye. Take care girls, and thanks for listening. I appreciate it.
Although interestingly, my memory of the room was a bit different to the reality. Guess my focus was somewhere else that day? It was ever so cool to hear the lusty wail of a newborn from one of the other suites. I have to say the joy of that sound brings tears to my eyes. It was interesting though, there was a lot of fidgetting from the group when we were in the birthing suite - not sure if it was anxiety or tiredness. But then again, the topic of the evening had been labour, so maybe people were just overwhelmed.
Thanks for the article Tegam... no tears, except tears of rage at one of the insensitive comments. But that person is entitled to their view, I bet they are crusty, cyncial without true friends or happiness in their life and lead a life without love. So I actually feel sorry for them.
Oh your hospital experience sounds lovely. I cant wait to read your birth story! I thionk that the men get fidgity in the birth suite cause they cant handle all that focus on VAGINAS hehe...
So glad that the room and the memories of Amelia are as sweet as her!
Hi girls,
Just a quick one i am really tired after a big day i had my scan bub is fine heartbeat of 126 and measuring perfect EDD is the 30th of march my Bday is the 2nd of April so i will have a great Bday present now just the 4 and a half week wait for our cvs hopefully i can keep this bubby i am inlove already.
Ferrals - AWESOME!!!! I know the next 4 weeks or so will be hard, but I am so happy you are in love. You are an inspiration.
Tegam - someone wrote a comment in response to the article that basically said "get over it". If you follow the link you provided and keep scrolling down, you'll find it. But only go there if you're feeling up to it. It's pretty harsh - I wanted to flame them something chronic but realised not worth my time as the only person I will upset in all liklehood is myself. I am too precious for that.
Oh Dory i must admit my caring husband cut the article out of the paper for me and said read only when in the right mood. He knows how i feel about the secret business and i thought it was lovely that he had gone to that effort for me when he was away at work. So i found the link this morning to share with you all. I am so sorry that there was that stuff written and like you i will probably only upset myself so ill shy away. Thanks for the warning. I was worried it was something in the article that had upset you!
Ferrals that is brilliant news.May the next 4 weeks speed up ever so fast.
Congrats to Elise on the birth of brody..i love the name and am biased as its my dear sons name also lol...but a perfect choice.i hope all is well.
I said i would post more frequently on here but im basically asleep by the time i get the kiddies off to bed..mega tired but thats the joys of pregnancy hey girls...i will try more i promise.
We will miss you too Angelfish! XX Have a great time XX (make sure you have some baby wipes with you, I always take them camping, great to make you feel fresh)
Ferrals, great news sweety!! XXX
AFM, am starting to get a bit of nausea when i eat and have a nasty tooth ache, off to the dentist for me....yay (am petrified)
Hi girls, I have been having some really shocking cramping, going to just try and take it easy for the day, not that I wasn't already! They seem to have settled down now, but I was getting a little worried. My hospy bags are all packed now, except for the baby stuff - realised we actually don't have anything because I haven't felt ready to get that much for now, except nappies. Not that a Brissie summer baby needs much more! Anyway, working on that now.
Good luck at the dentist murraycod! I'm a freak and I love going to my dentist.
