[Hope!]

Hi all. We are back up and running - YAY!!!

So has there been any arrivals in the last couple of days???

Ferrals: how did you go on Monday hun?

[dory]

Yay we're back! Missed you all.

Hope - look at you - 13 weeks!

Ferrals - hope you're ok after your CVS on Monday and the wait for the results isn't too harrowing.

Milly 5 - you're 40 weeks now - oh oh any news?

HPL - any news?

Hello to everyone else. No news here. Just waiting..... belly rubs to all and take care.

Hi girls i have been dying to tell you how monday went.

The cvs was not nice the placenta was in a difficult spot so i had to keep drinking water until my bladder pushed it to the right position an hour of u/s more water than another u/s and more water it went on until 1pm when my appointment time was 10:30 but they got it and god did it hurt because they had to go through the stomach when i had Abbi's it was through the cervix and i felt nothing but this time it hurt.

Anyway the doctor did the NT and it was 1.09mm so really low the doctor said baby looks perfectly normal no sign of abnormalities and fingers crossed that is a good sign
The little bugger kicked and rolled over and wriggled and just wouldnt stop moving which was awesome as Abbi did not move a great deal.
so i am supose to get my chromosone FISH results tomorrow or thursday which will tell us the sex then we have to wait until friday next week for the genetic results but DH and i can at least have some hope and sleep a little better until then.

Ferrals so please that all seems perfect with what they can tell you at this stage. Woohoo. Shame about the difficulty in getting the sample. I am feeling very positive for a wonderful result next week.

I had my scan today and feeling much better after seeing our little bub looking great. 9weeks5days today so right when I thought it should be. Just so excited.

Ferrals: ahhh what a rude time to lose BB, was thinking about you! So glad the wait is almost over!

MCod: 20weeks when did that happen! Haha i always get a shock when i see people that are near my EDD that are getting so far in their pregnancy! i still feel about 16weeks hehe!

Hello everyone else!

[ferrals5]

murrycod-of course i will tell you and you better tell me i couldnt take the not knowing it will kill me i am hoping to find out our bubbies sex tomorrow if i dont get a call from the geneticist by 4pm i will be on the phone.

Mildez-you have been right so far so i hope your feelings continue.
I am very happy to hear your bub is doing well as murrycod said another step closer for us both i am counting down the days.

Oh by the way murrycod i gave your little angel you sent me a good luck rub yesterday so i think i will give it a little rub every day.

[murraycod]

Ferrals, of course I will tell!! So glad you love the little snow globe I sent you XXXXX Now we both have one!

Tegam, have no idea where the last 20 weeks went, no idea where my waist line went either!!!
Was running after my poor DH with my whipper snipper for my Vejayjay yesterday but he wouldn't come to the party, looks like the pubes are geting waxed off cauz I can't reach em anymore...............shame!!

[ferrals5]

OMG!!!! i just pictured you with bushy ranga pubes

[ferrals5]

Murrycod-can you email me.
My DH the um the dopey man rebooted our computer and wiped all my email addresses i was going to email you yesterday when i couldnt get on line but i didnt have your email thanks to DH.

And if i got my DH to do my bikini line i would be bald lol.

PS i am getting tiny little flutters every now and then so exciting.

[ashie]

hi thought i would pop in and say hi and see how you are all going.

ferrals- i am so glad things are looking good hun, i really have everything crossed things are perfect! and flutters are such so wonderful to feel, theirs going to be plently more to come!

murraycod- lmao! i wish my dh was like that! i am happy to do that myself, but he is always wanting to join that party! i tell him you dont see me shaving your beard lol.

mildez- great news your scan went well, always a relief seeing them doing so well.

dory- not long now hun, oh i cant wait to see your BA! good luck hun xxx

afm- well im such an inpatient person, i booked a non referral scan for friday to see if bump is a girl or boy. bump has his or her legs crossed last week, so hopefully at the 3d/4d scan on friday bump wants to be nice, also taking my pa who has come over from vic to see bump friday and he's very excited!
not much here though still plodding along, m/s has its good and bad days, and tiredness still here i end up in bed before dh! already had some leaky bbs but they only leak when they want to lol. and starting to feel more and more kicks which has me so excited each night before bed i stir bump up so i feel him or her lol.
so glad bb is up and running now no more withdrawlal symptoms lol

[ferrals5]

Tegam-I know talk about bad timing i came straight home from my cvs jumped on the computer to tell you all how it went and when i saw it wasnt working i freaked out by tue afternoon i was ready to throw the copmuter and cry all i wanted to do was tell you girls we have a glimmer of hope that so far bub looks normal and i couldnt even do that grrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! DH was stressed and on the phone to big pond telling them to fix it lol we were told it was telstra having problems oh well we were wrong.

Hey bushy girl have you managed to mow down those pubes lol.

Dory-i cant believe you are still pregnant after all the worry bub doesnt want to come out lol hope it wont be to long now.

AFM-feeling good belly not to sore no more cramping so fingers crossed come on results!

[JennaJayen]

A me post today Sorry for no persies!

afm - We still don't have our internet connected. They were supposed to contact us when we'd been approved, but hubby had to ring up last week just to find out whether we had or not, so not happy in that department. I want to know when they're coming around to install everything so I can make sure I have the money ready in my bank account to pay for it all.
So I gave in and bought a bit of pre-paid credit this week.

Other news, I have been feeling little flutters just behind my pelvic bone for 2 weeks now! So excited, but I haven't been entirely sure that it was the bub... thought it was gas at first, but that feels ENTIRELY different lol

Still taking it easy, chowing down on lollies and chocolate every chance I get, and have been craving CocaCola for the past 2 weeks as well lol, I know it's not good for me, but it helps ease the MS soooo much!
Speaking of MS, it seems to be fading a bit, I now have more good days than bad days, and the last 4 mornings I have been waking up feeling pretty good and wide awake for a change lol

I've been busy busy busy trying to get a few bracelets made for some lovely ladies I know who lost their bubs, but it's been freezing cold in my study/workroom (aka the mess hole lol I swear I have no idea how I find anything in there it's so messy) and I haven't been able to spend much time in there, means I'm stuck on the couch being bored the rest of the time.

I had a bit of pink spotting this morning and some AF-type cramping, but it has cleared up now.
I have a scan tomorrow afternoon, as after the scare the other week after the rugby game I called my OB's office and spoke to one of the lovely midwives there who asked me to come in and get a referral for a scan. When I told her about my GP refusing to give me the 12wk scan referral just because I didn't want the bloodtest she told me it was stupid and my GP doesn't know what she's talking about as the 12wk scan isn't just for the NT, but also to measure bubs growth and to make sure that everything is developing normally.
I also got to meet some of the other midwives and had a bit of a chat with them, and they are all so nice and friendly.
It was a really great experience. I get to see them again next week, on the 22nd, as I have to see a midwife and get assessed etc before I see the OB, but they said they'd try to get the OB in for a chat on the day since it is one of the days he will be in.

All in all it's looking like it will be a really good birth experience

Also, planning on heading to the melbourne show with DS and hubby on the 26th, so if anyone else is heading there on that day and wants to catch up we should organise it now

[dory]

Ferrals - oh sweetie - I am so so very happy for you... that is such positive news. I'll bet you're just waiting by the phone for the first lot of results.... have you thought about how you'll feel if you're have a girl? Or a boy? Just curious.

Awesome for feeling the flutters.... go little ferrals!

I sure can relate to having a "painful experience". I've not had a cvs but the stitch removal was pretty uncomfortable ( my stoic word for very painful) at times.

And poor MC - now I have that visual image in my mind.....

Murray - I am so excited for you 20 week scan ... how exciting. I just love the fact that you can't reach your "wig" and I love the fact that you have no waist - pregnancy in all it's glory. Sorry you're doing it tough at work - hope the break helped.

Jenna - glad the M/S is easing.. and that you've felt the flutters. I reckon it's one the best feelings ever. I still adore feeling ( and watching) bubs move around. I wonder what they are doing and thinking and feeling and sensing. It is truly just amazing.

Ashie - poor darl with your m/s.... but awesome news about going for a scan with your pa. I hope you both get a real kick out of it. I am starting to feel like I need the patience of solomon whilst waiting for the action to start here. I suppose for me I never expected to reach this stage of gestation -39 weeks - and the past week has felt longer than any I remember recently ... just waiting. In a way I feel impatient, but then I don't because I do enjoy this indulgent lifestyle I have at the mo - no work, lots of rest and cat cuddles. Although I am trying to re build my stamina up by doing a little bit more around the house even though I have no motivation, and do a little more walking and started some very gentle preggie exercises. I wasn't allowed to do that stuff before the stitch came out.

Tegam - LOL - you were in a panic about nothing! No news here... I was going to txt you that there was no news here, but then BB came back on line. How are you going?

Mildez - glad the scan gave you some reassurance... are you up to getting a ticker yet?

I don't seem to be getting the emails that advise when there's a post, even though I've previously subscribed to this thread. Is anyone else experiencing that?

Belly rubs to all and sorry for those I didn't mention - thinking of you.

[ferrals5]

Well got a call from the geneticist the tests have been slightly delayed as they have been sent to south Australia for testing that is where Abbi's liver sample is so i wont get the FISH results until tomorrow or friday grrrrrhhh!!! so annoying and the main test for the SLO gene will also be delayed bye a few days i will be almost 14 weeks when i get the results to late for a normal termination if the news is not good.

Dory-if the bub is a girl i will be totally shocked i strongly believe it is a boy i dont know how i will be if its a girl will i constantly be looking her and wondering if Abbi would have looked like her.
I would love a little boy for my DH as he doesnt have a boy and i have 3 i got to have my girl even though only for a brief time she is still my girl.
But i really dont think about the sex to much i just want to know for both sides of our families.
I cant believe you havent had that bub yet cant be to much longer.

Hi ladies,

I've been trying to get on for days and have missed you all, but becasue I was going from the previous emails, it wasn't registering!!!!

Ferrals - that's good news so far, and I am sure that there is only more good news to come!

Dory - not long now either!

HPL - any news? or have I missed a BA?

Hello to all the other ladies I have missed!

AFM - SPud is still here, 5 days past EDD..... no plans on going anywhere I think, just way to comfy! Over the past week really, I have been experiencing lots of aches and pains, and BH, which last for a couple of hours at a time, only to have them stop again. I am SO OVER THIS now, as it is so uncomfortable to even sit or ly down and I am so TIRED! Spud, please come out now, PLEASE!!!!!

[Tegam]

Be
Kind
To
Your
Mumma
Spud!

[Sunbeam]

Hi Ladies,

Dory - I have been popping in daily to see how you are going. Can't wait to hear your birth story. Big hugs.

Murrycod - My gosh 20 weeks already, I am so happy for you.

Milly - Any time now and you will be a mum, so excited for you.

I can't wait to be back in here, praying my IVF goes just like murrycods.
