Dory i cant believe HB is 3months old, how unfair is that What she like as a 3 month old??? I know 37weeks, its hard to keep saying no to induction...3 times now i have been brave, another appointment tomorrow at midday...... can i be brave again.... My hips are so sore Oh and the car is white, very boring, but DH said its too easy for me to scratch any other colour (and he is right)
Reet: Oh reet deal with it anyway you need! My belly is still small to strangers but my mum now says its the biggest she has seen me in 4 pregnancies... I feel bloody huge but really its not that big. People get a shock when i say im almost 38weeks!
Possum!! WOW thats great hun! Lets hope the needles get a little easier for you!
Thopes: 3hrs.......that shouldnt take long.....
AFM: Nieces 1st bday today. We are having the party here as my sister is up from NSW. This is the only day i have been told i am not allowed to have the baby on....so 12.01am tonight im back on baby wishing, but until then im making a russian doll cake!! Illl let you know how i go!
Reet sending you mass's of (((hugs))) I hope time heals alot of your pain loosing your little girl. Its been 18months since we lost Penny in an accident (she was 5yrs old) and I still look at photos with tears in my eyes. Don't worry about others saying your small. It really means nothing. I should send a picture of me through at 24weeks as I am tiny also and definately don't look 5.5months. I'd say at a guess 12weeks lol. Oh well I know I could end up having the biggest baby of the lot despite my tiny tummy.
I'm not around much currently going to H and back with another issue unrelated to pregnancy.
T-Hopes yeah for finishing up work for Christmas.
possum magic CONGRATULATIONS. I'm so pleased for you. I think we first met when we both lost our bubs in 09. Sending you a truck load of sticky vibes and I'll be praying its third time lucky for you. How much clexane are you taking? I hate clexane. Not that I've taken it myself but all our ladies who have had c/s are on clexane and I just cringe at the thought of giving it even after 7yrs. I feel so mean. First one down that has to be the hardest and there only going to get easier.
Tegam so close now. Hope your little one chooses its own birthday in a timely fashion so you don't have to continue to disagree over the whole induction thing.
I feel a lot better today DH and i went out yesterday and looked at hireing a capsule for 6 months and it will only cost $80 and we have laybyed an awesome carseat that is from 6 months to 7 years and the man at the fitting station said we can take as long as we need to pay it off so we will just put $10 a week on it.
As our car is only 2 years old it fits no problem.
DH faxed in the hardship paperwork i am just praying they accept it and we can have a little bit of solice until march.
And i am so thankful that i did the kids xmass presents before DH lost his job.
So lets hope things go up from here.
Reet-I feel your pain i would be heartbroken if i lost one of my fur babies.
I have been having heaps of really strong BH i just try and change position and get comfortable until they settle.
And little miss has still been moving a lot i am a little concerned that my belly hasnt grown much i am hopeing she is growing ok in there i am really uncomfortable so maybe she is just really low and hiding like everyone keeps telling me
By the way i love the bubs pic in your ticker covering its eyes so sweet.
Possum magic-i have been stalking the other threads and saw you post when you got your BFP it is great news and i look forward to following your journey.
Tegam-ooooh so close now and here we thought you would go early.
I am very small also i am 26 weeks and people keep commenting on how tiny i am i still fit into all my normal clothes just cant do up the zippers my work shirt still fits and when i tell people how far i am they all remark on my size.
But i am bigger with this bub then the others although still small and i am heavier with this bub to at 26 weeks with my 3 boys i was around 64kgs and 70kgs when they were born and this bub i have hit the 67kgs already and still have until 37-38 weeks so 11-12 weeks left.
Dory-Hannah is so cute i cant believe its been 3 months already how time flys.
Dory- Gorgeous pic of little Hannah!
We chose to get Nala girl cremated because she died at the vet.. i didnt want either of us going thru the pain of having to pick her up to bring her home to bury, she wldnt have looked the same as we remembered, i also didnt want our other girl heidi to have to see her We are going to make a vege patch and eventually sprinkle her ashes thru it.. she loved veges!! She would eat anything! Watermelon, carrot, potato peels, whole bananas.. she was a little pig!
Mildez- oh gosh 5 yrs down the track and u still get teary over ur penny.. last week i was able to look at her pics.. they would make me cry but i felt like i wanted to look at her.. i was all ready to go and get pics of us with her developed and framed.. thank goodness i didnt rush straight out and do it tho because this week theres no way i can look at her, it gives me a sick feeling to my stomach if i get a glance of her. Grief is such a hard thing to deal with.
I hope whatever problem u have isnt too bad and u can get it sorted soon, glad its not pregnancy related tho.
Oh and post a pic of ur little tummy!!!
Ferrals- Im so glad that things are looking up for u. Thats great that u can get a carseat from 6 mths to 7 yrs.. im definitely going to look into one of those!
Thank goodness im not the only one getting BH's all the time.. i was ready to ring my midwife today and tell her that im sure its not normal.. even tho i know theres nothing that can be done!
Tegam- Why are they pushing so much for u to be induced if baby is happy and healthy where it is??? Because of the low fluid??
I hope u can get thru today! Do u feel as tho baby might come at anytime?? Is ur body sending any signals??
AFM- Beautiful rainy overcaste day today.. i love this weather!! Theres a small chance of a cyclone developing on christmas day.. i like a bit of excitement.. as long as its not too much!!
Tegam - Yay for the new car! Can't believe you're almost 38 weeks already.......... your baby isn't far away now!
T-Hopes - hehehe, I don't know which is worse..... working in my old position where xmas time means customers go MENTAL and the phones go crazy right up until closing time on xmas eve.... or if I'd rather be bored out of my mind. Tough choice! So glad you made it though, I was worried your 'nap' might have stretched into a sleepover... haha.
Kellie - Aww that is so sad that people would leave their old relatives at the hospital for xmas........ how horrible! My Gran was in a nursing home for the last few years and we used to have them 'deliver' her to the party in a big maxi taxi thing with a wheelchair lift. She loved it and would sit at the head of the table with her little paper crown on... lol.
Possum - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! How's that for a christmas present?! It's so great to see you in here. Good to hear you're excited and feeling positive, and well done on giving yourself the needle. I personally hate needles so I feel your pain! Feel free to babble all you want, hun....... this is exciting stuff!! Have you told your DH yet? Or are you going to surprise him on xmas day with your peed on stick? LOL, romantic.
Reet - Definitely being pg would amplify your grief, i don't doubt that for a second. When I'd just gotten my BFP and my Grandma died, we were at the nursing home clearing out some of her stuff and I just burst into tears. And I am generally not a cryer. Not in public anyway lol. Lucky for me my aunty and mum joined me and we all had a big cry together. If blocking it out for now helps you cope, then do it. I just want you to have a nice xmas and new year and to feel better. Hooray for busting out the maternity pants (that is sooooo something I would say by the way 'busted out' lol) and don't worry about the BH. Ikwym about being too big or too small.. I'm getting the 'OMG YOU'RE HUGE' comments. I thought it would bother me more than it does but I really don't care. I love my big belly and the way people look at it. This is such a special time and I know I'll look back on these 9 months for the rest of my life as some of the happiest. To answer your question, the BT's were for my glucose tolerance test. (to see if I have gestational diabetes). I imagine that test is standard so you'll probably have to have it as well. And don't you worry, I told my friend what a nightmare her eldest was being when she came to pick them up. She was soooo cranky with him. She felt really bad but I told her not to worry, that it was nothing I couldn't handle and that it was mostly just irritating. I was surprised to hear there was no punishment though... he just got yelled at. No wonder he was such a ratbag, he gets away with it all the time! Anyway, she's my bestie so I would still do it for her again, I'll just have a MUCH firmer hand with them next time. How she raises her kids is her business, and I'd do anything to help her out.
Dory - Lovely to hear from you again! I was actually thinking to myself 'is this guy ignoring me because I'm pg?' then told myself I was being silly. I seem to get that a lot lately, especially in clothing stores. Nobody greets me etc, it's like they're saying 'just leave we don't have anything in your size'. Meanwhile they DO, I just have to dig for it. Hmmm I wonder why it is that people are so ignorant of us mummies? Hooray for the guy at bunnings.... that's awesome. I find bunnings staff are generally really helpful. I should shop there more, lol. I'm loving the new pic of Hannah Bear, she looks so inquisitive! GORGEOUS. Mwah and Merry Xmas
Mildez - I hope you're doing okay.
Ferrals - So glad you're feeling better hun, FX the paperwork goes through no problems and your money issue will be sorted for now.
AFM - I'm spent from all that catching up... you girls have been busy busy busy! I'm supposed to be writing a shopping list for the rest of the stuff I need for xmas and I've only got chicken wings and bbq sauce on it. COME ON, FOCUS! lol. We picked up bubby's carseat last night and are getting it put in the car asap. It's a convertible one and starts out as a rear facing capsule, then turns into a regular seat. Can be used up to 18kg so that should last a fair while! Yay How exciting! It's all happening so fast, before I know it I'll be getting my labour bag ready. Actually I'd like to have it ready by 33 weeks just to be on the safe side. Call me paranoid, lol. Well, just in case I get too busy to pop back in here before the big day, Merry Christmas to all my lovely ladies and your families. And of course belly rubs!! XOXOXOXO
Well DH super company rang and they said DH needs to be on centerlink for 6 months before they will release any money 6 months we will be in dire need well and truely before then we are going to ring APRA tomorrow so see what we can do surely they can do something.
Forshelby-I have my hospital bag packed already just in case this placenta puts me in hospital early and i even have bubs bag done right down to the surgical alcohol for her belly cord stump i just need to wash her little nighties ect i will do that at 30 weeks.
i couldnt look so i closed my eyes and just waited....and when he laughed i opened my eyes...there was peanut 35mm...but we think baby was sleeping although it moved its legs a bit. and there was a heart beat...........i was so shocked to not see a black whole....and too see how much it had grown......i was so nervous and was the last one to go in at the drs and it was killer......i got my cd as well so i am going to watch it soon as i was in shock when he was doing it. had a blood test and he gave me the form for the 8th jan to have the scan..............i think i will be alright now and wont be so worried. i have gone way over were the last baby passed and getting closer to second tri and i have seen a baby..............so hopefully i can be a bit more positive now......
Yah Stoked and Melster so happy for you both - sounds like everybodys little bubbas are doing great!

My little man was really quiet today hope he gets more active tommorow or ill be worried
sorry to everyone i have missed think ill go and have a cold drink and poke this baby awake so i dont stress all night
Thanks so much ladies for the welcome. Looking forward to catching up on the thread and doing some persies: I won't tonight. Bit of a blue with DH and feeling tired and teary: It's been a big week. But i'm on holiday now for two weeks so the rest should do me good.
Kellbell~ when Honor gets quiet i will do the samething and then i am getting poked and kicked but it makes me so happy.
Possum ~ congrats i am sooo happy for you.
Stoked and Melster~ congrats on the good scans.
Ferrals~ i am so sorry about the finacial worries but what i have learned is to keep your head up things will work out. I hope that you can get some help asap.
Sorry if i missed anyone but just wanted to say i hope that everyone has a great christams.
Forshelby-From what i have read online they wont release any money unless we are going to lose a house, die or are seriously ill careing for someone ill and cant work or unemployed for 6mths +.
I will have to go see my dad i think but i will wait until the end of jan because we need to move in feb and we will try to sell DH motorbike in the mean time.
Melster & Stoked-well done on the great scan results i hope that helps you both relax a bit.
Kellbell-Yes we have named our girl Ella both DH and i are settled on that name and we cant seem to find anything that we think would suit our little girl her full name will be Ella Jean Christine two middle names after both her nans.
Angelfish-thanks i hope so.
AFM-I have been up since 6 little miss decided to go balistic and rap dance on my bladder and my fur babies were sooking at the bedroom door to be fed so i am now wide awake.
Oh ferrals: Hope you can sell the bike and get some help off your dad. Yay for miss E having a rap dance!
Stoked and Melstar: Thats great news, always love to hear about a good scan!
Angel: Have a great xmas too!
Kellbell: yay on the disco dancing! Its always stressful when they are quiet, but then once they are born the last thing we want is them awake all day and night hehe!
AFM: MW appointment at 12noon! Hoping for a S&S. Belly dropped yesterdaym must be 3inches lower then wednesday, which makes for a very sore tegam and a very ugly belly. My mum was a MW as she just walked in the house and laughed at me and said "oh dear me thats deffinitly a belly of someones having their 4th, thats more than dropped"!
Will let you all know how it goes...oh and
Melster - YAY! Great to hear bubby is snuggled in safe and sound Now you can relax and enjoy your Christmas.
Stoked - Awesome news! I bet you're feeling a lot better having seen a hb.
Kellie - I think you'll do just fine with 2 kids. Remember, you have two arms, so 2 kids is just perfect. You can restrain them both at the same time, lol. Try not to worry about bubs being a bit quiet, I find mine has up and down days too..... good to see a cold drink did the trick hehe. I find my little one gets a bit exciteable when I'm trying to sleep as well. I hope this isn't going to continue when he/she is out!
Possum - Aww I hope you and DH can kiss and make up soon. Enjoy your 2 weeks off!
Angelfish - Merry xmas
Ferrals - Ugh, they sure don't make it easy for you do they! Hopefully your dad can be the safety net you need right now.
Tegam - Hooray for your belly dropping..... it can't be long now! Good luck for your appointment. Does an s&s hurt?? Just curious.
AFM - Feeling kind of tired and just blah in general today. I'm looking forward to seeing DP's family tomorrow and enjoying an xmas feast. Can't wait to see the look on our little nieces face when she opens her presents. I think that's the best part! I just know I'm going to be exhausted though after all the socialising..... I hope DP doesn't want to stay super late as it's at least a 40min drive home.
What she like as a 3 month old??? I know 37weeks, its hard to keep saying no to induction...3 times now i have been brave, another appointment tomorrow at midday......
can i be brave again.... My hips are so sore 
Oh and the car is white, very boring, but DH said its too easy for me to scratch any other colour (and he is right)
WOW thats great hun! Lets hope the needles get a little easier for you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! How's that for a christmas present?! It's so great to see you in here. Good to hear you're excited and feeling positive, and well done on giving yourself the needle. I personally hate needles so I feel your pain! Feel free to babble all you want, hun....... this is exciting stuff!! Have you told your DH yet? Or are you going to surprise him on xmas day with your peed on stick? LOL, romantic.
If blocking it out for now helps you cope, then do it. I just want you to have a nice xmas and new year and to feel better.
