Hi girls!

Got a scan today, and appointment - can't shake that nervous feeling!
Tegam, I hear you on needing to get organised. There's so much I have put off because I don't want to get too excited, but I really don't have that long to go now. Eeeep!
I love but Hate scans all at the same time...I even hate the doppler coming at me and thats when the baby is kicking! Gee we really are a mess arent we hehe!

Hey yes you should get your act together and get organised or your going to have one undressed baby! hehe


I'm just home from my first scan this time round. the tech had trouble initially finding a heartbeat, which delivered a wave of panic and an 'omg here we go again' feeling. but thankfully the wand found 142 bpm. tech said my bladder was full and obstructing the view !

sending everybody good vibes. x
How scary but so glad they found the little one!! Congratulation!

Tegam - Wow you're almost there!

AFM - We got some really cute little baby shoes at the markets today, and also a few pairs of socks. I don't know if there's anything cuter than baby socks... except maybe baby feet. DP was proudly showing Grandma the shoes when we got home..... very cute.
LOL i went back to check i hadnt written 38weeks seeing you said "wow you're almost there' Then had a HUGE shock that yes i guess i really am getting to that stage where its probably less that 10weeks! eeekkkk!

How cute are baby socks, even my DD1 miss 6 almost had a cry when she saw some i washed the other day and said she use to wear them!!!

Forshelby- Trust me that tummy pic was on a good day.. its normally triple that size! I had *ahem* quite a few toilet trips yesterday so before i ate dinner last nite i said to my dh u have to take a pic before it expands again!!! Right now i cant get it back to anything like that! haha. Oh i love that ur buying baby stuff! When did u buy ur first piece?? My sisters are saying they want to start shopping for some now but i just dont feel ready yet! Its scary!
Oh and u made me so excited saying that u cld feel babies movements so much better lately! I CANT WAIT!! Hopefully only 6 or so more weeks for me to wait tho. Can ur dp feel them yet??

Audax- What?! Ur still feeling nervous before scans?! Oh no!! Im really scared now! So those nerves never really do go away huh?! How did it go today?? And ur right.. not long to go now!!

Tegam- Wld u prefer to go to full term with this pg or wld u be happy with another 36 wk'er?? Hope ur appointment goes well tomoro and ur test results come back perfect!


AFM- Started getting a bit worried today.. i have to wait til the 8th nov for my next checkup now.. oh no!! I was loving seeing my ob. every 2 weeks, he only wanted to get me past that 12 week mark tho and then make the appointments monthly.. dammit!! He did say tho if i do start getting worried just to call and i can pop in for a quick u/s.. i really hope i dont have to do that tho! This will probably be the hardest month to get thru.. hopefully after 16 weeks i can start feeling the baby move so that will be my reassurance!
Oh and i had a really good friend tell me she was 6 weeks pg yesterday.. i was so happy for her because they have been trying for a while.. but then about an hour later a huge amount of jealousy crept over me! Why!!! I am EVIL! Seriously!! I dont get it. I called my dh and tried explaining my feelings to him.. like what happens if her pg is all smooth sailing and ours isnt.. etc etc etc.. i dont think he really understood because he got a little angry and said having a baby isnt a competition u know.. And i do know that! But i dont know.. like i said Im a bad friend and evil! A huge big Grrrr at myself!!
Funny about the tummy. I had days a few weeks ago that i could say, looks see the baby has gone on holiday cause finally the bloating stopped!

I dont know if there is a good time to buy stuff. Just when you are ready i say. I dont think it makes a loss more difficult. They are all horrible. So it gifts makes you feel happy about this little one then give your sisters the go ahead!

Yes most of us still get 'funny' before a scan! Sorry it doesnt go away in other pregnancies either!

Oh dear its almost the other way around, i CAN NOT imagine that this one will be on time. Crazy i have never made it there. I wouldnt mind another 36weeker, she was fine and i took her home after 4hrs.

I keep saying to DH what if this on comes at 42weeks and i have a long labour Longest pregnancy so far was 39weeks and longest labour 6hrs or so!


About your friends pregnancy NO you are not evil and just a little hint....we share those thoughts here cause no one in real life either 'gets' it or wants to admit that they understand. We do so vent away here! We are all nut jobs when it comes down to our losses and we all deal with these things in different ways on different days!

About me-- I am up again in the middle of the night. This time I was definitely hungry and uncomfortable. Ate some cream of wheat and warm milk. Still not sleepy so I am on the computer. My DH bought a doppler to measure the heartbeat at home and surprised me with it. He wanted to get one sooner, but waited 'cause I wasn't sure how I felt-- not knowing if it would make me more anxious if I didn't hear the HB or whatever. We used it for just a couple of minutes last night-- and we found the HB right away. I still haven't had my scan yet-- it's Friday-- and I am anxious (not too surprising). Furbaby tried to sleep on my belly tonight-- drove me nuts-- so I put him out of the bedroom. Still couldn't sleep. What is up with that??? I keep getting up between 2:30 and 3:00 am !!!! Maybe it's practice for night-time feedings. LOL.

Oh-- one more thing-- my DH and I decided to buy flowers and a pretty card for the in-vitro office docs, surgeons, and nurses once I pass the 20 week mark (in a few weeks). I haven't let myself buy any baby stuff yet 'cause it was just too painful to look at that stuff after losing my first. And I still don't feel ready yet. But we want to celebrate and look forward...so we thought we'd send the medical team that helped me to get pregnant a small surprise to celebrate the half-way point. What do you think??? Most people probably wait until the baby is actually here...but they were so good to us, and even though we thanked them, we thought this might be a good way to "check-in" and say thanks again, at the same time.


sorry so long!
I think that the flowers are a lovely idea! Its always nice in the medical feild to get a thank you! You think that everyone would feel the same as you but i bet they dont get alot saying thank you after the jobs done! It will give them the energy to keep up the good work for the next couple they help!
