Hello lovely women,
I'm signing off for the year and just wanted to say a big HELLO before GOODBYE! and GOOD LUCK!! for all of the familiar names in here that I've journeyed with this past year. It certainly has been a rollercoaster for so many of us. Wishing you all a fantastic Christmas as new Mums and Mums to be and all the best for your births and the coming year. Thanks for the support and love and encouragement you've given me in the other threads - I've missed your sense of humour and wisdom. Lots of love to you all - Dory, Audax, MurrayCod, KitFaerie, Ferrals, T-hopes, Reet, Forshelby, Tegam and anyone else I have missed xx

Beautiful Alice! Thank you for all your lovely words of support! See you in the new year with some lovely and positive news!!!!
-
Alice-see ya in the new year hun all my love and wishes to you and your DH.
AFM-had my antenatal appt and all good bub measuring spot on my placenta is still really low so they couldnt hear the heart beat just the thumping of the placenta but our little lady was disco dancing while they were trying to find it so all is good.
I have been referred to the high risk specialist OB and have to see him in 3 weeks and in the mean time no heavy lifting or exercise we can still have gentle sex until we see him but if the placenta is still in the same spot in 3 weeks no sex after that i wont be seeing the midwifes after today all my appt will be with the specialist because of our genetic history with Abbi and the fact that this is an IVF baby and the dam placenta they will also be sending the babies cord blood off to be genetically tested to see if she is a carrier like us or does not have either of mine or DH bad copy of the gene.
I also will have a ceasar at 37 weeks if there are no complications and the placenta is still over the cervix so i really only have 15 and a half weeks to go:o
-
I had a scan today too due to sharp pains the last 3 days over the right side. My OB said after Samuel I would be at risk for ectopic as I had a fallopian tube infection 10 days after his birth and it could lead to scarring. So anyway my GP felt a firm and very painful (to me) mass so sent me off for a scan. It showed a huge corpus luteaum cyst on the anterior of the right ovary and an enlarged ovary hence the pain. But we also go t so see bub measuring 3.2mm so right on for dates of 6wks and a heartbeat of 108. I have a small bleed next to the gestation sac so I am not to do anything heavy or strenuous as I have a prior history of m/c with a subchorionic bleed.My GP also sent me for another beta and progesterone but the results won't be back til tomorrow.
I'll be back when the kids quieten down.
-
Angelic: Good too hear that you saw bubby! I have a huge corpus luteaum for this pregnancy after an ectopic. Not nice and yes hurt a bit! Hugs to you!
-
ALICE- thankyou so much for your friendship and support over the past year or so. Have the best festive season that you can. I hope your time comes too - I didn't realise about the bfn - I am so sorry. But that frostie.... is redemption. Hoping to see you in here again soon. Travel gently.
Ferals - we had a drought here in the sex department from week 7 to 37. It is survivable -just. Glad you are getting the care you need with high risk obs.
Angelic - go gently sweetie... good news for bubs on the scan. What does the other stuff mean about the cysts?
Better run, I am being summoned.
-
:happybirthday: 8weeks tomorrow Hannah!!!! :happybirthday:
-
Alice - Looking forward to hearing from you in the new year, until then, you'll be missed! xoxo
Ferrals - So a caesar it is. How are you feeling about that? 15 and a half weeks sounds so short...... omg, it is... :o hehe. You'll be snuggling your little princess in no time!
Angelicdragon - Get plenty of rest hun, I hope all turns out ok for you and your bub. Keep us posted!
Dory - I take it 'summoned' is code for Hannah wanting your attention... hehehe.
AFM - Got 2 packages in the mail today full of baby stuff. An old friend (and also my PIG) sent me some books and a cute little outfit, how awesome! :hello: Telly! Mum's package also arrived today.......... I felt crap just opening it. I don't feel right accepting stuff from her if she's going to be so nasty. Short version is this: I confronted her when she called me the other day about her excuses re visiting when bubby is born, and got pretty upset. She said she didn't have to do it if she didn't feel like it (I know.. :o) and hung up on me because I cried hysterically (and yelled at her). Do I send it back to make a point? Or is that just stupid. Either way I'm the ungrateful child and she's the perfect mother and total victim. If I keep the stuff I'm selfish, if I send it back I'm rude. In a way i can't bear to think of all the lovely things just sitting there in a box not being used.... I could just cry thinking about it. It's not the blanket/clothes's fault.... is that weird, lol. I do have a friend from work who's due in about 8 weeks... I'm considering giving the whole package to her so at least the stuff doesn't go to waste. Not really sure what to do about it all. And I'm not ready to talk to her yet after her nastiness. She's not the kind of person you can have a rational conversation with and explain why you're unhappy. She just gets all defensive and won't talk about it. EVER. Hmph!
-
Forshelby - hmmmph indeed... you seem to have just such a up and down rel with your mum. I say hold off on deciding what to do with the stuff... you might feel differently in a while. It won't go off! yep summoned is code.... and I am again. LOL
Tegam - thanks! Hannah bear sends you and your family and your passenger lots of hugs.
-
Forshelby-I'm with dory hang off on making a decision until things settle down you dont want to regret making a hasty mistake but if you still feel the same way in a few days i would say thanks for the gifts but i am still upset with what was said.
Just remember what seems a really awful thing today might not seem so bad in a few days just my opinion but you do what you need to do to feel better.
And yes it looks like a ceasar for me unless i am in the 2% that the placenta moves completely off the cervix i have my fingers crossed that as it is posteria that it moves up the front and off the cervix.
Dory-8 weeks has gone so quick where does the time go?
I am hopeing that we can get a few more weeks until we have to give up the sex but what the specialist says we will do at the moment i have had no warning signs so we will just be careful and gentle.
-
Ferrals - Thanks, that's great advice. I really don't think anything is going to change..... or that somehow I'll miraculously be ok with mum not wanting to be bothered with a flight so she can meet her grandchild. I need to remember though that I have to deal with things as they are, not how I think they should be or wish they were. If that makes sense. I know she SHOULD care, but she doesn't, so I have to live with that. I've decided to just sit on it for a while though and not do anything with the stuff she sent until I've made a solid decision. I guess on the up side, (about the cs) at least you will have a definite date for bubs arrival?
AFM - Had the most icky pantry cleaning dream this morning... lol. I won't go into detail but man it was gross. I was so relieved when DP called me from work and woke me up, I thought 'OH THANK GOD I don't have to finish that'. It seemed so real! In the dream, I even had to wash the cat because she got into the mess...... I can't even bring myself to explain what the problem with the pantry was, but it was alive. Let's just say that. :sick:
Looking forward to a little bit more retail therapy today, picking up some shorts and other mundane things for DP. Still, I like to shop and it's cute to see him all excited about having new clothes magically appear and him not have to shop for them. I think to treat myself afterwards I'll get myself some chinese food for lunch. *droooooool* I looove chinese. :) Hope everyone's feeling well and belly rubs to all!
-

-

Forshelby: Wait dont tdo anything with the items. You dont want to give them away and then regret it! Hugs
AFM: OB, MW Scan?? this avo.....hmmmm we'll see. YAY at 33weeks, can i have my baby soon please???
-
everyone!
Alice - you are so beautiful! Wishing you and your DH a realxing and peaceful festive season! Im praying that the new year brings you the baby that you so truly deserve! Thank you for all your support and guidance, you are a true angel xx
angelic - praying that everything settles down for you xx
Ferrals - you enjoy that gentle sex while you can! Get cracking woman!!
Forshelby - Im sorry to hear things are crappy with your mum, very sad for you! And yeah maybe its a good idea to give them to your g/f rather than send them back cause that just gives her something else to complain about!
afm - im going good :) I cant believe im 10wks! Still so early i know but the time has flown! We saw bubs on Tuesday and the little monkey was wriggling around everywhere, flips and all! Arms and legs are waving around! The most beautiful thing ive seen! Measuring 3.35cm so a couople of days ahead but ob said that was fine! I have been keep a pregnancy journal and have found it so relaxing... i stick all my photo's in and write how im feeling and decorate it all with stickers and bright colours! Im so proud of it!!
I had my 10bt this morning so we are getting closer.... 16 sleeps till the big scan!!! Cant wait! Also... we have been using the doppler at home and its so awesome! We found bubys heartbeat on Tuesday and it was devine! We recorded it ! My MIL even has it as her message tone! So sweet!! xx
-
:happyforyou: T-hopes!.............16 sleeps, so your not counting or anything :)
-
Melster - Ugh, just when you thought this 2ww business was over... I'm sure you'll get to see a lovely hb and all will be well.
Tegam - Yes, you can have your baby soon lol. I hope your scan goes well :)
T-Hopes - yay for 10 weeks! I love that your MIL has the baby's hb as her message tone.. hehe. Very cute.
-
appointment was horrid. Belly measuring 28weeks, baby now in 12th Percentile... fluid still low, have to wait to see head OB on monday... Feeling like shyt!
-
Tegam - oh bugger that the app wasn't a breeze. By belly - do you fundus? And it's god that the fluid isn't lower ( I know still disappointing that it's not increased) Try to distract yourself over the weekend and thinking of you for Monday. Stay safe little smidge.
Melster - grrrr indeed to another 2WW.
T- Hopes - I am loving the pic of bubs! Yay - stay snug little one.
Forshelby - i had to clean up a stupid and stinking dead lizzard in Hannah's room today. Weird as the cats don't normally bring in "presents" for us. The room stinks. But LOL - I HAVE to clean up my pantry and just keep putting it off, even though I can't stand the way it is. Nothing alive in there though. Hope even in your dream the cat coped with the bath. Enjoy your shopping and chinese. What dish/es?
Ferrals - ah so no swinging from the chandeliers for you. LOL.
