Luna-I hope it's just a little spotting because bub is snuggling in my thoughts are with you.
Reet-yes the boys are a little excited i told them we still have a little way to go to make sure they don't find any problems and i need to speak to the geneticist about the chance of bub still having SLO with no obvious signs but for now we are cautiously happy although my youngest son said he wanted a boy lol.
We still wont tell my DH daughter until after the 18th when we have a better idea because she is to fragile and wont cope if it goes bad.
Angelfish-I agree it's a girl phase at the moment when we lost Abbi 14 boys were born around me and now the girls are catching up.
AFM-I slept a lot better and am a little more confident although i keep expecting something bad to happen i just want to get through this next scan and hope the genetcist tells us the chance of bub still having SLO is very unlikely that is what i want to here.OMG! I'M HAVING ANOTHER GIRL.
Ferrals I am so pleased to hear everything is looking fabulous so far woohoo and huge CONGRATULATIONS on expecting a little sister for Abbi and your 3 son's.
Luna I am praying for you its just a little implant spotting as bub digs in nicely.
ferrals - yay on such good news and on your lil bundle being a girl - Abbie has been looking out for you all this time and she will continue. Here's hoping the 18th comes round fast so that you can see your lil munchkin again
Ferrals - Oh a little GIRL!!!! That's so lovely. I'm so pleased things are looking positive, I hope you can rest a little easier now hun.
Dory - It's always great to hear from you.... I hope the sleep deprivation phase passes quickly. You're right though there really is no preparing for it, no matter how realistic you are. Sounds like you're a wonderful mother though, just as I knew you would be.
Reet - We leave for melbourne on Monday for a whole week. Yay! I'm looking forward to some cooler weather! I think it's cool that you aren't finding out the sex, now we can be surprise buddies.. lol. My mum has already been sussing out all the cute outfits she can buy.. hehe. My baby bump started to grow around the 11 week mark.. it started as bloatedness, and then continued to grow and grow! Not long till your scan now, yay!
Angelfish - Wow time is flying. I think feb is a great month to be born, mostly because that's my birthday month.. lol. I hope your appointment goes well and you can rest easy!
Luna - Oh hun, I hope everything is ok. Put your feet up.
AFM - Stupid rain has made my austar go bye byes... Now I have to actually do something productive. Ok, off to get DP those beers he ordered. Hehehe
OMG! I just found out my cousin is pregnant and due 2 weeks after me and her brothers wife (my other cousins wife) is pregnant and due the same day as me it's happening all over again that makes 3 with DH skanky niece due 8 days before me everyone gets pregnant around me they end up with babies and i don't what if it happens again i couldnt take it again.
Hey Ferrals - so happy for you. 8 fingers, 2 thumbs, 10 toes. Sounds like your little girl is doing all the right moves for her Mummy and Daddy. Haha, and didn't stop moving for the scan... Happy tears from me. What a journey!
Luna - Fx for you. Make sure you do something really nice and cosy for yourself.
Mildez - Go girl, let it out, vent away.

still laughing,
Oh, I better get off the floor now. thanks, needed that.
T-Hopes "AFM - feeling good so far, cramping is easing which is comforting! Has my 2nd lot of BT's today and HCG is now #591 (17dpo)!! Yayayaya! So its more than doubled in 48hrs so we are wrapped No guarantee's i know, but our nurse said its a good indication that bubs is off to a great healthy start!!"
Great news.
Angelfish - I found out that different Mums feel different amounts of movement because it depends on where the placenta is. If it's anterior, many of the movements are padded. Incububs placenta is posterior, maybe that's why I got the first flutters at 15 weeks, they didn't happen everyday though
Reet - just read your next post, skipping around now, I bet.
timeforafamily- yes it is a anterior placenta which has eased my mind a little i just wish that i was showing just a little more i dont feel that the uturus is were it should be i am 22 going on 23 weeks now
I just wrote a huge post and clicked on the wrong thing and lost it.
Luna-hope to see you back soon with good news.
Angelfish-my ex SIL had a placenta at the front and didnt feel any movements until late into the pregnancy and they were all down low.
T-Hopes-great levels not long until your scan.
Reet-I thought id feel better after weds scan but i am still concerned that our girl can have SLO but mildly there is such a broad variation from mild to servere even mild is cruel SLO babies dont sleep they usually have to be tube fed for months and are interlectually disabled and as they get older self harm and have autistic tendensies it is so scarey we should have had a definate answer by now if the doctor didnt stuff our cvs.
I was very bloated until i got to 12 weeks i felt really uncomfortable now i feel heaps beter although i am not sleeping real good either not sure why.
Sunny09-love the huge post thanks for dropping in on me.
Timeforafamily-it was a relief not seeing any extra digits i just wish this journey was over for me to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy.
AFM-DH doesnt want any further testing after our 18th of oct scan he says what we get when she is born we will deal with as long as she has no major problems like heart and lungs ect like Abbi did he said no one knows what they will get when their baby is born and no one can garauntee a perfect healthy baby but i dont agree SLO is a horrible syndrome and most babies die within the 1st few months of life and it's no life for some one if they do live i was leaning towards an amnio to be sure but he doesnt want one it's a very hard choice
Reet - You will fall in love with your bump in no time, I garauntee. Enjoy not having to worry about whether you look slim and trim for a while hehe. I know I am! Things are ok with mum, she seems excited about the baby now after I had a few arguments with her about her lack of interest. She isn't going to be there for the birth, nor would I want her to be...... she panics over nothing and just stresses me out over the smallest things. SOOOOO not the best birth partner lol. Also, she's about 12hrs drive away, so yeah. If I did ask her to come she'd probably just make a bunch of excuses about how she has a cat to take care of. wtf, I know.. but that's the excuse she uses every time I've asked her to come and visit us in the last 7 years. I just kind of gave up on her ever bothering to come and see us. Honestly though it's probably for the best because she drives me crazy with her whacked out point of view. Like you can't open a window in case it rains on a sunny day. And you can't use anything in the kitchen or it'll get dirty. I couldn't handle her nit-picking the way I live and do things. NORMALLY. lol. And don't worry, I'm taking the laptop to Melbourne. I would miss everyone too much. Congrats on having some quality toilet time hehehehehe. Your headaches sound exactly like mine. I had the same thing last night, the pillow was making my neck/head hurt. It doesn't always though so I know it's not the pillow, it's me! I still have a headache today, but I've just taken a couple of panadol to get rid of it because I'm sick of lying around feeling crap. I'm wondering if they're hormonal or what.... they remind me of my af headaches. I hope yours disappear and never come back!
Angelfish - You'll look pg in no time, hun. I'm the opposite, and getting comments about my belly all the time. Some people just don't show very much, try not to feel bad.
Luna - I hope to see you back here soon, jumping for joy that your baby is ok. So sorry hun, I'm keeping everything crossed for you and your precious bubby.
Ferrals - I hope you and DH can come to an agreement about whether or not to undergo further testing. I do understand his point..... but yours is valid too. You just want the best for your little girl. Totally understandable.
AFM - Struggling to get the house clean and everything washed and packed (limited wardrobe here, lol) for our trip. We have a friend coming to take care of the furbabies, so at least I can relax about that. I might try to make him a nice chocolate cake and leave a bottle of bourbon in the kitchen for him as a thank you. I was sooooo worried about leaving our puppy, but I know he'll be ok with our friend. Now I don't have to cry every day I'm away from my little mr snugglebum worrying he's heartbroken. LOL..... I'm such a sook! In pg news, I feel like my tummy grows every day, and my cravings change just as quickly. Today I want apples. And yoghurt. FINALLY I'm craving something that isn't completely devoid of nutritional value.
I just started spotting, and my lower back is hurting.
