Kit - Sounds like a good plan to give your dad some type of 'busywork' to keep him out of the way while you labour at home, lol. Naughty naughty using your tummy muscles too much, but I undersand how hard it is not to! My midwives actually laid me down on a bed and made me demonstrate how I'm supposed to get up from now on, lol. I chuckled, being coached how to get up. I got the monitoring movements lecture too, and it was a bit scary. I guess just use your instincts.
Melster - Welcome! CONGRATULATIONS! I've been stalking you here and there, wondering if you might have caught your eggie this month. Good luck with your appointmentThey'll probably do quantitative (sp??) hcg and get your blood group etc, and test for all kinds of other stuff while they're at it. Yay! Now, re the worry......... I know you can't entirely switch it off, I still have my moments (although now I worry about bubs having clubfeet and having to have braces for a while etc.... long story will catch you up later on that one.). I will say this though. Challenge negative thoughts. Enjoy every little bit of this pregnancy be it a keeper or not, because there is no way of telling how long you've got to love this baby. You could be around to see them grow up and have kids of their own, or not. Nobody knows. So try to take some time every day to just love that little baby in whatever way you can. I look back on my 1st pg and wish I could have spent more time just loving that baby, than worrying about all the sh** going on around me instead. Once again though, congrats and good to see you in here!
Ferrals - Sorry to hear about the p.p, but I agree with Mildez. It doesn't matter how she comes out as long as she's happy and healthy. I can understand how you'd feel a bit sad though about not even having the choice whether to birth vaginally or not..... I'm a bit worried I'll get the same news at my 28wk scan. So I guess we're in the same boat! (ish) lol
Mildez - I enjoyed the sunroof comment.. lol.
Dory - I think he was always fairly connected to what was going on....... but now even moreso. Bubby kicked the dog when he was lying across my belly too, so everyone's in on the action now! LOL It seems now mr puppy just wants to snuggle my belly, as if he's waiting for another kick. So cute! Looking forward to seeing a pic of little Hannah Bear!
Tegam - wow 31 weeks.. you're cruising along!
Sunshine - Hopefully you get the information you're looking for, hun. I too felt left behind after the various stuff-ups with my paperwork and appointments etc, but don't worry they'll catch you up really fast lol. That reminds me I should book our antenatal classes... EEEEEEEP!!!! Good luck and let us know how your appointment goes.
Reet - The movements I felt at around 15wks were soooo faint I kept second guessing them. Trust me, in another 2-3 weeks you'll look back and go 'OHHH, that wasn't a fart brewing'. LOL, pardon my vulgar expression. I hope I didn't rile you up too much with another one of my girl-power speeches, LOL. You know what though, I got my karma........... now my DP is on at me about what I eat!! There was a story on the news about gestational diabetes, and he goes 'SEE! SEE! Stop eating those cheeseburgers unless you want to push out a 10 pounder!' I tried to make a joke and said 'did you say quarter pounder?' And he got a bit cross. hehe..... The best way to deflect his er, conversation was to say 'I know. You're right. I know. I'll behave myself.' LOL. I didn't bother telling him that I don't have GD, and that our bub is measuring spot on for dates, not bigger... so chillax! That was not the right time for a rebuttle though. I'll save that one for later! It's all about timing, my friend... haha. Just remember the two magic words which have saved my relationship a million times over 'yes dear'. Oh, and so flattered that I'm your pg rolemodel, lol. That's so cute. *hand on chest* I hereby swear to be a good and honourable rolemodel to Reet.
AFM - Well, this little tummy-muffin has been moving a lot!! Yesterday I was getting prodded all day long. Very cute. The dog even got a nice kick in the head, which was hilarious..... lol. I haven't felt much yet today but I haven't had brekky yet either. As soon as I do, it'll be all action all day all the time. Haha. While we're on the subject of amusing tales.................. DP just said he was going down to the convenience store and asked if I wanted anything. "Ooooh a plain bagel would be nice!!" He rolled his eyes and said 'no!'. I burst out laughing and he looked at me like a crazy woman. Well, really... who asks if you want something then says NO! His excuse was it was the shop next door, and he didn't want to put 2 bucks on his eft card. I still couldn't stop laughing though. Hopefully he brings me something munchable back though! Oh oh, and I have new neighbours. A lovely french lady, her husband and their 4 kids. Her youngest is 7 months old. She apologized for him crying yesterday and I said 'don't worry, my baby might be louder'. We had a good laugh, and then bonded over our choice of girls names. Her only daughter is called Mia, and I told her that's our number 1 girls name. I never normally 'bond' with neighbours, but I thought it might be a good idea to have other mums around me! The lady on the other side of me also has 2 little girls, so maybe I should pop over with some cookies or something...............
Anyway, time to get ready to go out and about. Hopefully browsing the baby shops. yay!
im glad everything is fine tho, i hope ur getting lots of rest now.
congratulations on feeling first flutters.. i hope u come out from under that rock now!! It shld be me hiding out until i feel mine now!
