Clairesmummy - HUGE CONGRATS hun!!! Yay, so happy for you darl, glad to see you back in here :) *hugs* xxx
Clairesmummy: :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: Will have everything crossed for you that you have smooth sailing with this pregnancy. So glad to see you back again!
Angelfish: sorry to hear Honor has been sick. Not fun : ( Glad she is feeling better now. Can't believe how fast you are coming along either!
India's mum: Sorry about the GD. You must be disappointed but you sound like you are making the best of it. Did you have it with your DD? Wow that you are working up to the birth! I know you said you 'only' work 2 days but i guess it depends on the work you do how comfortable that is. I was working three days and i work far from home and was finding the long drives very uncomfortable now. Also, I need to sit a fair bit (office work) and was finding that very uncomfortable (due to restless knees and sore where my big tummy 'pulls' on the muscles in my tummy and back). So I am very relieved to have finished.
Alish: Oh i feel for you. The last weeks at work are hard. I remember when i had 2weeks to go at work. It actually went quite quickly in the end. I hope yours does too. Will they give you a 'send off' of some kind?
Pheebee: good luck for the 12wk scan. I remember how nervous i was before mine this time (I also had a missed miscarriage previously at 12wks). It will be great when you can see your baby waving at you!
The Mrs: you are into your second trimester... yay! Oh, and what is EPO?
Hi kellbell, JJ, becnxavi and anyone else i missed!
AFM: Still so excited about being on maternity leave. I feel like i have so much to do to prepare for the baby and can't wait to get stuck into it (as well as finish off some home renovations). 3wks seems like the shortest time!
Ooooh, Clairesmummy - congratulations! So excited to see you back in here :crossfingers: that this is a nice long 8 month stay with a gorgeous BA at the end of it :D
angel - glad Honor is improving, it's no fun when they're sick.
Phee, good luck for your 12 week scan - I hope there's a little wriggly bub in there waving and saying hi to Mummy.
Sorry, that's it for persies, must go get dinner started.
We're well here, all is going well pg wise (aside from TIRED) - DS has been a full on, cheeky monkey, but he"s lovely :)
Cheshire - my EDD is December 15th and it is a girl.
Clairesmummy - well done! Sending you tons of sticky vibes. I am very happy to see you here, I remember your latest sad loss.
Possum magic - I envy you the materninity leave. I want to be where you are, concentrating on the future baby and not the stupid work.
Indiasmum - that's funny what you wrote about the bug bites, because I have been bitten by something behind my ear and I thought it was some sort of a tumor growing, the bite was so huge. It took a very long time for the bite to go away too. I have also never experienced this before, I thought it is some new kind of a bug (it was on vacation) but perhaps it is just the pregancy.
Hello everybody else, wishing you all the best, sorry I do not have time for more persies but the stupid work is killing me.
Clairsmummy- congrats and fx for a h&h 9months
Luna- Hope you don't have to be working for too much longer.
WBM- Hearing you loud and clear on the tired side. I swear I could sleep all day and night right now.
PM- hoorah for maternatity leave. Bet is it such a relief
Angel- looking forwards to scan news :) glad your lil girl is getting better
Phebee- i hope your scan is good news this time
TheMrs- Bring on September :)
IndiasMum- I seem to be getting weird bug bite reactions as well.
AFM- Half asleep atm so sorry if I've missed anyone or replied to the wrong person etc lol. Feeling all drugged up but still in so much pain I can't sleep, plus the HG isn't exactly being kind. Not long to go now though. Just got to make it to tomorrows scan and I'll be happy
Thank you for the lovely words ladies, I can't express how greatful I am to be back in the thread again.
Jenna~ Congrats on the birth of your no doubt very gorgeous little girl darl.
Angel~ Glad to hear your little Honor is better, my DD suffers a bit from Ear infections as did I when I was her age, I always feel so helpless when she is ill. And wow I can't believe how quick time is flying by for you unbelievable. Good luck at your scan darl and I can't wait to read all about it, FX everything is going wonderfully for you.
PossumMagic~ WooHoo for the maternity leave darl, glad to hear your enjoying it all, I can not believe you are coming up to your due date already only feels like yesterday I was reading you PG announcement. Hope things are going smoothly for you and can not wait to read your BA.
WannaBeMum~ Thank you darl, glad things are going well for you with your pregnancy that is awesome news. How far along are you now?
Luna~ Thank you darl, I am praying and hoping this PG ends with a very happy ending unlike our last which broke my heart tremendously. But onwards and upwards we shall go, FX.
Damprye~ Thank you and good luck with your scan tomorrow, I have a feeling we may be reading your BA soon. Best of luck darl and you are in my thoughts.
AFM~ Well apart from the waves of OMG I am going to be sick to the arrgghhh I just need to lay down and fall asleep for a few hours I am feeling pretty good so far oh and don't let me forget how bloated I am feeling and looking right now, but I am loving every second of these feelings and praying like crazy that this PG all goes to plan. In 3 days time I have my first GP appointment to confirm I am PG and then on the 18th I have my First appointment with my FS.
Damp hope your feeling a bit better today & like CM i think we will be reading your BA very soon :D
Who's doing your BA again?
CM Good luck with your GP appt & not long till you first FS appt either. I have everything crossed that things goes to plan for you this time :)
Dampyre- I know Im excited. Its a little bitterwsweet though because I was due to have my baby (last m/c) is sept with you guys! :(
Possummagic- EPO is Evening Primrose Oil...it helps with softening your cervix...which could induce labour..but really justs helps with labour. Though, who knows because I went into labour at almost 38 weeks with DD while using it
Congrats Clairesmummy
AFM- Im a little bummed because (of course) the dr.s are doing my every other weekend ultrasounds after I find out the sex :( and my dr wont budge on any date before 20 weeks...I JUST want to know already lol. Thinking about taking one of those gender prediction test things you pee on this weekend
hello ladies....
missn u all
congrts clairesmummy......im so happy for u. its good to see u in here...im so pleased....hope everythings great this time....i have been thinking of u....
glad everything is ok angelfish
ClairesMummy - You sound as though you will get fantastic support from you FS and that's just what you need. I'm glad you were able to speak to him and make sure you were following his instructions before you saw him. Can't wait to hear the results of your next blood test and watch you go from strength to strength.
Luna - Interesting to hear about your bug bite. The swelling has gone from mine but it's like a massive dark purple bruise and I have never come up that way before. I'm putting it down to pregnancy.
AFM - Seem to be doing ok with the diabetes. The nurse says she is happy to continue to monitor me herself and I won't need to see the specialist until 15th next month. It was interesting when I told her I had lost 4 babies before this one. She doesn't know why I was checked for diabetes then as it can cause early miscarriage. Guess I will never know. Putting the diabetes to the test tonight. It's DH's birthday and I'm, about to make a chocolate cake.
Couple of extra persies...
Damp: good luck for your scan tomorrow!
Luna: it's been aaaages! Glad you are still around on BB. Wow, 19wks! Are you having another scan soon? Or did you just have one (and that's why you know it's a girl?)
India's mum: Diabetic chocolate cake??!!!! Or will you just have a little nibble of a normal one?
Grr, I hate my phone sometimes. Just done a whole heap of persies and my phone decided that it didn't want to post it. Not happy :( Now to try and remember some of it but need to be quicker cos it is way past my bed time now.
IM- Hope your levels stay at an ok point.
TheMrs- :hug: very understandable to all of us here
Cheshire- I haven't got anyone to do my BA
CM- Sending you what sticky vibes I can spare.
To all our angels- You are always missed and never forgotten. No matter how far away you are, you are always in our hearts. No matter how many siblings you have, you are always one of a kind and irriplaceable. Fly free our little ones with the knowledge that you will always be loved.
AFM- Holding onto hope that my BA isn't going to be too soon. I want to go home to my bed with my baby still tucked safely inside me after the scan. As much as I thought I was ok with whatever they decide, I don't think I will be letting them take bub as long as s/he is still being a lil wriggle bum. As long as bub is moving it is a sign that everything is ok, right? Please stay safe my little one.
Sorry Damp, i could of sworn i read somewhere you had someone to do your BA.
Guess i'll have to FB stalk you then ;)
Hope everything went well today with your U/S & your little dinosaur can stay baking for a few more weeks x
Cheshire~ Thank you for the good luck wishes starting to get really nervous about my GP appointment not really understanding why though, lol. Thinking maybe I think this is not all real with being PG again IYKWIM. Hope everything is going well for you.
The Mrs~ Thank you for the congrats darl, I don't blame you for being bummed about the no scan, I would be beside my self with anticipation waiting. Good Luck maybe you can try and talk to your GP and persuade him otherwise darl.
Melster~ Thank you and congrats on your little bundle of joy arriving here safely darl.
Indias Mum ~ I had GD with my DD thankfully it was also controlled by diet alone not that it helped as every craving I had was for very sugary sweet things, it was torture at the time but well worth it so I didn't have to have the needles. My OB had me checked for Diabetes for recurrent MC but thankfully it came back clear. I was pretty happy with the response I got from my FS seeing as though I haven't even had my first appointment with him as yet. I am also hoping and praying that this PG goes from strength to strength darl, FX.
Damprye~ Hoping they never kept you at the hospital darl, hope everything went well for you at your scan if you have already had it darl if not, thinking of you and praying you get the results you want.
AFM~ Still feeling pretty tired seems to be in the afternoons when I could just curl up and have a snooze, still having times where I feel a little off and also having some AF cramps today as well and some tight feelings in my lower belly, hoping and praying that these are normal. I so don't want to lose this bub, please please please be our bring home baby. :pray::pray::pray::pray:
Cheshire- Yeah, I used to, used to be in my sig. Will totally be doing quick updates via my phone lol. Think I'll start a thread when I go into full blown labour so I can constantly update in the one place between contractions lol. Will also help me write my birth story at a later date :)
Clairesmummy- FX that it is just all normal :)
AFM- Thanks to everyone for you well wishes :) A lot more relaxed now. If things hadn't have gone well, bub would have either been coming today or next week but thankfully I get to do more cooking :D At 3kgs (6lb6oz) there is definitely no growth problem as they thought. Fluids are still low but will be having weekly scans to keep an eye on it and bub,s kidneys are all fixed :D Can't believe that bub is already bigger than what some of my friends have had at full term lol. Got told I'll be giving my friend's 9lb8oz bub a run for it's money if I get to term lol. If fluids get too low, they will induce me, as well as if bub gets too big, although, I have to agree to being induced and unless bub hits an estimated 10pounds, I'm happy to keep going :)
Damp at 35wks they said K was 6lbs & would be huge but she was only 8lb.
Not Skinny but not huge either :)
I'm totally expecting a 9lb-10lber this time lol
So glad everything is going well & you get to keep baking a little longer :D
At 34 weeks they predicted DS would be over 9lbs - my Ob disagreed and said baby didn't feel that big, he reckoned 8-8.5. Scan was right! We had a 9lb2oz DS :) But the scans generally have a 10% error margin, depends where they measure too. Given where I'm getting kicks from this little one already (halfway to my ribs!) I am predicting a big 'un.
Damp - glad baby's growing well, hope the fluid levels stay ok and bubs can stay inside for a whole lot longer :)
Clairesmummy - I have all my fingers and toes crossed for a sticky bub for you - I had some weird crampy feelings with this bub too and was paranoid, but it was just the stretching starting :crossfingers: it's the same for you! I'm 23 weeks now btw :)
IM - how did your BSLs go with the chocolate cake? Hope you managed to keep it under control :)
Sorry, memory fails for other persies :(
We've all got colds in our house at the moment, so waiting for the sore throat to go away - DS seems to be on the improve and DH and I are still just keeping on keeping on.
I'm approaching EDD for our angel (5 August). It's weird to still think about it when I've got a healthy bub on board, but still it's just there in my mind. I remain paranoid about bringing this baby home, having weird thoughts about having a stillbirth or going into too early labour. I'm sorry to bring up my paranoia, but I just don't seem to be able to totally relax like I did with DS. Does the shine go out of pregnancy or is it my imagination? It's not like I've had a late loss or even recurrent miscarriages. Maybe I'm just weird. I haven't been able to name this baby - even the name we picked has lost its shine too. I am struggling to get things set up - I'm doing it, but not too much, just enough to be ready just in case.
They did an ultrasound at 35 weeks and said she measured somewhere around 6 and half to seven pounds. She was born almost 3 weeks later weigning 5lbs 13 oz
WBM 5th August was my EDD too. I have my 12 wk scan for this one today, which is when I found out the other one had gone. Quite nervous but also hopeful. Might have to get DH to tell me if it's safe to look, lol
Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!
Cheshire- Thanks :) How are you travelling along?
WBM- It doesn't matter if we are pregnant or not, we all mourn our angels and you are right to share with us, that is what we are here for.
Funny you should say about barely getting anything ready and thoughts about not bringing bub home cos I am the same. Almost everything I do have, is what I used for DS or brought for my last angel. All I have brought for this one is pilchers, snappies and 5 outfits, 2 are 00000 and 3 0000. Going shopping tomorrow but will be laybying, my theory was so that I'd be prepared for girl or boy but there is also the whole thing of not being sure bub will be coming home and I don't want a house filled with baby stuff without my lo. Has also caused a lot of bonding issues because I just have this niggling feeling that there will not be a new addition to our family, even felt like a fraud telling people that I'm pregnant, and even at my 19wk scan, which was my 4th scan this pg, I expected for there to be no baby, that I made it all up in my mind.
You are totally not alone and your fears are justified as all of ours are. If we keep them bottled away, it just makes them eat away at us even more.
Phebee- Good luck for your scan today, will be thinking of you.
How is everyone else going?
AFM- DS was estimated to end up around 7-9lbs and I was very happy with my 8lb4oz babe :D TBH, I don't think this lo will be quite as big as they say it will, have been thinking for the most part that it'll be another in the 8pound range. All 3 of my Mum's kids were :) My tummy seems so much smaller this time though lol.
Damprye~ Congrats darl on a good scan and being able to keep baking that bub for a little while longer, awesome news darl.
WBM~ Hugs to you on your angelversay darl, it's a hard thing to overcome. I'm not looking forward to my last due date which was the 22nd of Sept. Maybe you could plant a tree or something in honour of your angel on that day. Thank you for the sticky vibes darl, I did POAS again this morning and it is still very dark and very much a BFP, POAS was followed by a horrible taste in my mouth and a feeling of wanting to be sick so Im taking that as a good thing. Never thought I could be hoping to be chucking up ever, lol.
Phebee~ Good luck at your scan today darl, hugs to you for your nervousness, I totally understand how you feel. Be thinking of you today and sending lots of sticky vibes to you.
AFM~ Did another POAS this morning just to make sure i am definately still PG, came through super quick and a super dark BFP thankfully. Feeling pretty yuck this morning and very exhausted as well. Off to my GP appointment in the morning, in 2 minds if I should ask for a dating scan at 6 weeks or should I just wait until I see my FS on the 18th August and he will be doing a scan to check everything out anyhow.....ohhh the decisions already......Thinking that if I wait and just have the one with my FS at least bub would/should have a good strong HB by then, I will be 7wks 6 days PG when I see my FS......Any thoughts?
Damp i'm doing ok. Can't believe i only have 10wks or less till i meet my little girl.
I flat out refuse to go over, not that i have much choice lol
CM i think if you can hold off till your FS appt then you should do that. It will be a lot better seeing a strong healthy HB, than possibly not seeing one as your too early.
Phebee good luck for today, i have everything crossed your little one is super active today.
WBM :hug:
I was the same with Bambi till about 2 weeks ago when i slowly started buying her little things, i started off buying her 2 outfits from the baby market.
Then my friend brought me a nappy bag & another friend brought me some cute clothes for her. MIL started buying boxes of nappies.
Everyone else didn't doubt i would be bringing home a little baby it was only me who refused to get attached in case something happened.
Last weekend i even went and got her some blankets & clothes that DD1 picked out for her.
It's taken me almost 30wks but i'm finally really excited about this pregnancy & i'm even starting to sort through baby clothes so i can start packing her bag & make a list of what other things i still need to get her.
You'll find your Shine, it will just take time :hug:
Hi everyone sorry I've been a bit quiet its been so busy here.
Anyways I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and so worried about miscarriage still. I've wanted this for so long and now its actually happening I'm scared its going to be ripped away from me.
I have my NT scan next week and im so nervous. I haven't had any more bleeding. Just really nervous. Any suggestions to shake this feeling.???

Thank you girls. You all brought tears to my eyes. I really don't feel alone when I read in here and that's a very good thing to have. I did buy a couple of romper suits in a Target sale, but they're in with all the other baby gifts I have for my friends' babies between now and then.
I might go out on 5 August and buy new baby a guardian angel to look over her. The baby who had to pass so she could come into our family will always be looking out for her. It's funny saying her so often, I avoid it so I wont slip!
But DS is demanding Mummy at the moment (he's still the absolute light of my life). Poor boy, not well, this will be my 4th pooey nappy today, and he's ready for a sleep. I might have a sleep too, I'm knackered.
WBM: IKWYM, i've also felt so tentative about this pg. Even now, i can't believe there will be a baby in this house in 2.5wks! It doesn't seem real. Even after i passed the first trimester i didn't feel safe like I did with DD. I was scared i'd get further than the last two times only to have something worse happen. FOr a long time when i talked about the baby i'd say 'if' or other things to show I wasn't counting on things working out. I am now talking about the baby more definitely but it feels surreal...
Damprye: IKWYM, I also felt like a fraud telling people I was pregnant for a long time. At work i said very little about it and sort of let people figure it out for themselves. So about 22wks when my tummy was a lot more preggy looking a whole bunch of people said to me: oh, so you are pregnant. I had nightmares about telling everyone i was pregnant and then having to tell them i wasn't (if something went wrong).
Pheebee: I hope all went well today and you had happy news.
LysnDan: I hope the next week flies past for you so you can get happy scan news too.
AFM: Just had a mind-blowing thought: i've been pregnant for part of each year since 2007! (DD then two m/c then this baby!)
In other news: baby is giving me some whopper kicks in the side now. Strong enough to make me jump! Ouch! but I love it. It's reassuring. Having said that, i will not miss being pregnant: i think i've been too stressed by past experiences to enjoy the pg the way i did with DD. THough I smile when baby kicks and talk to it a bit, and I love 'chasing' it's foot around my belly with my hand and giving it a little tickle, i just want the baby out and safe and well.
Scan was lovely! Everything is going well :) Baby is 6cm long and measuring 12w 3d although by my careful date records it should be just 12 wks lol. Baby kept moving and stuff and looked like it was waving, it was so cute! :D Heartbeat is good at 172bpm. YAY!!!! :D:D:D:D Thanks so much for all your prayers and well wishes!
damprye~ congrats on the good scan
as far as trying to get out the nervus its very hard i just had Honor in jan and got pg right away as you all know and i am still scared everyday and everytime that i go to the drs. I did not start to get things for her until i was 32 weeks (honor) even then i was doughtful. Its very hard when you have had loss's in the past not to be scared.
AFM~ i go in every two weeks to make sure everything is okay hard to belive going on 17 weeks
Angelfish- Thanks and congrats on your almost 17weeks :D Feeling bub yet or still to come?
Phebee- Woohoo for the awesome scan :D It is awesome to see them all safe and wriggly in there with their lil hearts pumping away
PM- OMG! So soon? Wowza, that is fantastic! Can't wait to see your BA. Anytime now really :D
WBM- That's what we're here for hun :hug:
Lys- I don't think there is much anyone can do to stop the nerves except just to try and relax. It is always so scary going for scans but seeing them there is a great feeling.
Cheshire- Wow, 3quarters of the way there :D Not too much longer to go
Clairesmummy- POAS all you want if that is what it takes to get you through till your appt :) I'd say to wait to see your FS myself. It would hurt to be sent away without knowing if your baby is actually growing or not and that is a chance that you would have to take if you were to go get an early referral. Sometimes they just can't see tiny lil bub in the sac so soon. By the time you see your FS, you should get to see your little one's heart pumping away :D
AFM- Totally want to share this with all of you.
If you look up "35week pregnant belly" posted by Damprye on the tube, you can see how desperate bub usually is in his/her continous efforts to escape lol. This is seriously how much bub moves all night and day haha.
Who needs malteasers with a belly like mine? :D
PM - how weird is it being pregnant for that long! I've been pregnant part of every year since 2009, but that's nowhere near as impressive - although I've been pretty good at containing an entire pregnancy in a year :) It's good for the safety net :D
phee - that's awesome news on your scan! I hope you're able to relax a bit now you're passed the point of your last angel :) I love seeing them all nestled safely and happily wriggling away in there!
angel - glad everything's going well for you - are you finding out the sex of your baby?
Clairesmummy - I agree with Damp, wait until your FS appt, then you know you'll see a heartbeat and not be worried if you don't see one at 6w. Sounds like he's a great FS!
Damp - I had a look, how cool is that bit :) I loved watching my belly with DS, I've seen a few bumps with kicks so far, and can't wait for that alien like movement :)
afm, I feel awful, I haven't been this sick in DS's lifetime :( I'm feeling a bit better now than when I woke up, but I was up every 1.5-2 hours to go to the loo, have a drink and blow my nose so I didn't knock the house down with snoring. The sooner I can get my nose fixed, the better (there isn't much room in my sinuses).
Thanks everyone i think i felt tiny movement. I dont know about finding out the sex with this one i think i might want to make it a surprise. But i found out today that my scan is on the 11th of august three weeks away time is going to go so slow. Bf got a notice though the mail that he is behind in child support which is wrong. But they want to take out 800 a month till he is paid up he usally pays 500 a month. I am so upset last time i was pregnat this type of stuff came up before everything was quiet.
Wannabeamum~ i hope you feel better soon hun
Damprye~ I was on best rest around that time with Honor and i remmber just laying there and watching my belly move it was the highlight of my day
hi everyone,
well i have been dragged into this thread kicking and screaming by clairesmummy(lol), don't get me wrong im thrilled to be here but after 3 previous miscarriages i am very wary of putting it out there that im pregnant again and kept putting off posting "just in case" it all went wrong again.
i have had 3 blood tests and the numbers have been going up well, i will have one more either sat or monday and then a scan next week, im already nervous about having that. i have had a m/c at 9 weeks and 2 chemical m/c's at 5 weeks. this is a clomid pregnancy and im on progesterone pessaries until 12 weeks, fingers crossed this is a sticky baby for us, we have a DD and DS (5 & 3)
CM & MM what's your EDDs & i'll put you both up on the list :)
MM congrats on your pregnancy & wishing you H&H 9 months :D
Damp time seems to be dragging now i'm getting closer.
Phee great news, i'm really really happy for you :D
LD i don't think there anything you can do to shake that feeling except hearing & seeing a healthy little HB.
Good luck for your scan next week.
Wow PM not long to go for you at all, how exciting :D
thanks Cheshire, my due date is 21st march, thanks for adding me
That's my DD2s birthday :D
:D my 2 children (& this pregnancy) were/are all due in march (daughter born in feb), this miscarriages weren't so im hoping that is a good omen for a take home baby
Thank you for all the advice ladies I truly appreciate it, I think I will do as you all say and just go with the flow until my FS appointment sounds like a great plan to me. Thanks again.
Cheshire~ I think I am due on the 30th March 2012. Thats my dating anyhow, lol, FS may tell me different though, ;)
Minnie~ My dear friend it is about time you got your butt in here darl, lol, just jokes. And if I dragged you kicking and screaming wow you are a willing victim darl,:p
Can't wait to read all about your scan darl and for you to hear your little bubs HB, I am counting down the days with you. Good Luck and :pray: for you lots and lots.
Phebee~ Congrats on a great scan darl that is awesome news so so happy for you.
AFM~ Hmm well had my GP appointment today have to go back tomorrow for BT as I have to fast for these ones and my GP put an urgent rush to get my levels back for me asap. I have to say she was pretty darn thorough with me took my weight height, blood pressure, listened to my chest and gave me 3 forms for BT and 2 for my scans the dating scan and the 12 week scan and she wants to see me again in 4 weeks time. I also had a lump checked out that has come up on my neck and she thinks it may be cancer so she is talking to her boss and will discuss what we will do about that at my next visit, I'm not to worried about the lump as I am pretty certain it can't be to serious it came up like a mozzie bite and was really itchy now its just a horrible looking red lump on my neck, it hasn't grown any bigger thank goodness but does get very itchy and if you take the top off of it it bleeds like anything. So hopefully they can just get rid of it for me and all will be good again, FX.
minnie ~ good luck with everything to come. i know how hard things can be.
Clairesmum~ i am happy that your GP sounds so good i think want to be safe then sorry
Minniemouse: Great to see you in this thread!
Clairesmummy: I agree, hanging out for the FS is a good idea. It's a hard wait but I didn't get a scan til a bit over 6wks with this one because i figured I wouldn't be able to learn much until baby was old enough to have a heartbeat. I also figured there wasn't much I could do to change the outcome and just had to hope for the best. I hope you are rewarded with time flying fast until your FS appointment and a lovely heartbeat. (And I also hope you get reassurance on the lump on your neck. You don't need anything else to worry about right now and I'm glad you feel it's ok).
PHebee: Great news!
Cheshire: Thanks so much for keeping a list of EDDs. It's fun watchin everyone 'moving on up' to the top of the list! Very excited to be near the top. There might be news from Stoked first though...
AFM: Had scan today. All looking good with baby. I've been finding it harder to walk around the last couple of days- more pressure in my pelvis- and I wondered if baby was getting engaged. Turns out i was right; baby is head down in right position. Very happy about that (cos last time i went to the Dr s/he was a bit off centre!) Starting to gather baby things from friends and really get nesting!
Clairesmummy - thanks hun :) awww, you're due on my DD's first birthday :) hehe, it's a good birthday to have lol her EDD going by the dating scan was the 28th, LMP date was the 23rd, but I knew all along that she'd arrive on the 30th :)
Welcome Minniemouse!
Possum, Cheshire, Damprye - Look at all of you who are due soon! I can't wait to read your BA's!
I'm getting a bit jealous of you all, I want another baby :( Not likely to happen though, hubby has his referral for the vasectomy now, and he's already planning our move to QLD in a year or so, looking like we'll be shifting to the gladstone area a the moment lol
Angelfish- I'm supposed to have been on strict bedrest from 24weeks but sometimes I just get so over it. Bub kicking is one of the good things about it but this bub rarely stops moving no matter what I do lol. When you were on BR, did it cause any sleeping issues? Arg, it would be so aggrivating to have that happen, especially with bub on the way and needing to buy stuff for your baby instead of paying for what is most likely just a stuff up.
JJ- It is so easy to get clucky hey lol.
PM- So glad bub is in the right position for you now.
CM- Hope your lump is nothing major. Have they considered that it could be an infected lymph node? My Sister got one after scratching at an insect bite on her neck a bit like how you described yours as. No matter what it is though, make sure to keep it clean and to go in if you even think it is getting larger. Glad your appt went well besides that.
MM- Glad to see you in here, I remember you from another thread :) Keep that positive attitude up hun.
Cheshire- Mine is still going fast but has slowed down a lil. I think it is because almost everything is ready enough and now I'm just waiting for bub to arrive. I keep looking at the stuff and getting excited and thinking, "Ok, now I just need time to hurry up so you can use it bub" lol.
WBM- Hope tou feel a lot better soon.
AFM- Today was awesome. So sick, sore and exhausted, but worth it. My day went a bit like this: DS deciding 6am was a good time to come wake me, so we had breakfast, played and sung songs till it was time to get ready for daycare. Picked up a huge box of fundraiser chocolates to sell from the daycare, sold most of them in about an hour lol. Went baby shopping... 10 till 3:30.... All just baby shopping LOL. Picked up DS, went and done MORE shopping. Left DS with XDP at mine while I met up with a couple girlfriends for dinner at my fav resturant, went back to my besties to hang out for a lil.... Then got home at ~9:30. All up until then, I had a fantasic day. Spent about one and a half grand all up on me, bub and DS. Was so awesome to be able to do that :D
... Then I got home...
Now it has been pouring rain suddenly off and on all day. I had my arms full of new and expensive baby stuff, knocked on the door for about 10mins, juggled everything around to try and unlock the door, only to find that XDP had bolted it and had DS up after 9:30 with the surround sound system blaring in my unit. Right then I got real angry, more so than when I was just standing there banging. I started booting the door and yelling. Finally he let me in. And I tell him that he shouldn't have bolted me out of my own house and that I was banging for the last 10mins. I didn't even say it in a ****y tone. Then stands in my way and he goes nutso at ME for telling him off and it was at that point that I couldn't hold onto everything anymore, start dropping **** and then I get ****y back at him and tell him that he was the one that locked me out and left me standing in the wet with a heap of stuff and with my boot still open in the rain, with more stuff in and my boot light on with a car battery that has to be jump started recently. Nope, he can't even think of how maybe that, or anything else could warrant me being at all entitled to telling him that I wasn't happy about him locking me out of my house (he lives elsewhere) and just stomps around cracking the ****s and ranting.
He keeps pulling this whole "hurt" BS whenever he is here and I am so over it. I asked him one day to leave (had already been here a week) because he said he had gotten gastro and I didn't want that around me, bub or DS, even with me telling him that if I caught it, it could kill bub. He left alright, but not before making a huge scene about it like now. I have more than valid reasons for what I have said to him and his only reason for acting the way he does is because the world is against him so I must be making a personal attack on him no matter what I say or for whatever reason. The life of my baby and over a grands worth of brand spanking new posessions is worth nothing to him it seems. And he is the one that wanted me back! Both XDP's are fighting for me and they are both selfish fn aholes that I want nothing to do with. Only reason I talk to either right now is because it is good for the kids to have their Fathers in their lives. DS is at that age where he knows who he is and when he isn't around and even asks for him. If it wasn't in the best intrest of my kids, I'd tell them both where to go right now.
My night is ruined, I don't feel comfortable in my own house (XDP is staying till Sat morning) and I just don't know what to do. I feel like curling up in bed with just my pillows and teddy but have to find the motivation to tidy up so that the carpet cleaner can come tomorrow. I just don't want to do anything with XDP here.
Sorry about my big rant but I am so upset and it doesn't help that the stress makes me all tense and it makes my belly cramp. Looking forwards to Saturday big time!
