Congrats on the newbies in here!! And thanks for all your congratulations to me for making it to 12 weeks.
Scan went very well today -- phhewww, I was so stressed going in. but BUB very active, nice HB of 143 BPM and all the right limbs and organs. We can finally be excited Not sure about the downs risk yet, but I'm sure it should be fine.
Loops - Oh wow! 12wks already! So excited for you, and very glad your scan went well
afm - Didn't get the results today so peeved. Now somehow I have to make it through the whole weekend until my appointment on monday to find out the results.
At least this mornings test was even stronger - almost as strong as the control line! yay! I don't have any more tests left lol, and no $$ to buy more so I'll have find something to do to keep me occupied.
HPL - Oh I am really so sorry honey I really really hope you're wrong!
S & S - I'm sorry for your m/c I really hope you're able to try again in January. It's not far off, take care of yourself in the meantime. Exercise is good So sweet about your parishioner's gift. What a lovely thing to do!
Clairesmummy - Hope the m/s goes away soon!!! not nice! I hope you don't have to do insulin, but if that's what's necessary think of it as a sacrifice for your bubba. Isn't hayfever the pits? I've been taking Polaramine cause that's safe. Good luck for your scan! How rude of that bus driver!
JennaJayen - Glad to hear your little girl is doing so well How cute! Congratulations on the new little surprise!!! DH will get used to it Hope you get the results soon!
Loops - Yay! Glad your scan went well It's always such a relief isn't it?
AFM: Well I've had a pretty good week. Can't really recall the start of it so much, lol. That's the baby brain for you. But things got more interesting on Wednesday. I had told Mum earlier in the week that DH and I were planning to go baby shopping on Saturday (which is today and we're about to go soon) and she said "Oh, before you do, come over after work sometime. I have something you might want... although you might not want it until you have a second child." So of course I was very curious! Anyway, I went over on Wednesday and there was a pram! Double pram. One at the back, one at the front, so long, not wide. She had picked it up off a vergeside collection and cleaned it up. She asked the lady why she wasn't selling it and she said that she couldn't be bothered!! This is it here: Love N Care » Blog Archive » hi-rise tandem It's the CLOUD colours. Score!! So DH and I definitely took it. I'm of the opinion that I can use it straight away and why bother waiting for a second child? I'll use the other bit for shopping or whatever. DH thinks we should get a single one and wait until we have a second child to use this one. I reckon I'll see how I go with it first, then if we think it's too much, I'll get a single one and we'll put it in the shed. But cool hey?
Then that evening, I went to my first aqua aerobics class at a local private gym, run by a physiotherapist and only for pregnant women. It was heaps of fun and there were some other newbies too. My colleague at work told me about it but she wasn't there that night. Maybe she'll be there next Wed. But I really enjoyed it and loved feeling so light in the pool. Although it was a bit deceptive.... I felt like it wasn't really working my muscles so I worked harder to 'feel' something. So much fun, but so much pain! I'm definitely not as fit as I used to be. OMG I have been aching ever since. The last ache went away this morning. Panadol has been my friend the last few days. I decided I'm going to go to the local pool and do some of the things from the class by myself every second day or so, just so my body doesn't freak out every Wednesday night, cause it's only once a week.
Other than that, bubs seems to be good. He/she is fluttering away in there and I actually felt it from the outside the other night when I was lying on my side and it was kicking that side. I put my hand there between the bed and my tummy and could feel it with my hand, not just inside! Hope that increases more and more so DH can feel it soon!
Anyway, that's me. Enjoying my long weekend, thanks to the Queen! Gonna go baby shops now
Sorry, I've been flat out so haven't been posting - and sorry for lack of personals, I'm still busy! I finally decided I should do something to make room for this baby So I've spent the afternoon sorting the linen cupboard, DS's cupboard and going through a whole lot of baby stuff. Now there's some room to put some of it away. I've brought in some of DS's 000s so I can go through them too when I'm putting things in the cupboard. I'm tired Just waiting for DH to call so I can see if he can get dinner on the way home, cos I just can't be bothered. DS got fed anyway.
Does it sound weird that it still doesn't feel quite real? I mean the braxton hicks are real, the baby moving is real, but I've had to almost force myself to start getting ready to meet this little bundle. It'll become real soon enough I'm sure!
Pheebee - thanks hun It's so exciting to feel them moving from the outside for the first time Hope you had fun shopping!
WBM - not long to go now! I felt like it wasn't real with Princess E either, even the day she was born when we went into the hospital to have my waters broken it felt like I was dreaming and I was waiting to wake up.
The_Mrs - thanks hun Still can't believe I'll be back on the list again lol it was only around this time last year I was added to it in the first place with Princess E lol

I am officially now a member ladies. Had my scan this morning, the sonographer exclaimed almost as soon as he put the doppler on my belly, "You've got a live one!".
Measuring exactly to my dates, 8 weeks today at 1.52cm with a heartrate of 150bpm. My little eggy came from the left ovary which I already knew because I had really bad O pain on the left this time. Bubby is apparently firmly implanted at the back of my uterus which means the placenta will be posterior apparently. That means I should be able to feel good movement in a couple of months right?
Which puts me at a due date of 11th June 2012.
I know we aren't out of the woods yet but last time bubs stopped growing at 6w4d and given that the doc said it was most likely the heart that didn't develop properly which would mean that we've smashed that milestone out of the water and now just have to tackle the next month before we're in the "fairly confident safe zone!". The last 4 weeks have been really tough so I'm thinking I'll schedule a 10 week scan just to avoid unnecessary anxiety. It means I'll only have to wait 2 weeks at a time before I have confirmation of everything going well. Seeing the doc next monday so I'll get the referral then.
I hope this joy lasts and the morning sickness doesn't
Firstly a massive congrats to everyone on their BFPs and I'm really sorry to hear that there are so many angel mummies who have grieved the loss of their bubs
After approx 12 months of TTC I fell pregnant for the first time in August last year however sadly I had a miscarriage last year (first preg) and found out my little princess had trisomy 16. We got our second ever BFP earlier this month and I had my first scan on Friday which set me back a few days which I am not surprised about as I have crazy, unpredictable cycles and PCO! Bud was measuring 5w6d at our scan and the sonographer said that we were lucky to see the HB as it had just started beating - 100BPM. I was an emotional wreck because with my angel baby the sonographer kept saying to me over and over 'you are so early' (which I knew I wasnt) and the HB was slow - so I felt that history was repeating itself on me when I had to have an internal etc. But the sonographer assured me that all looked good for the stage of my preg.
I have my first OB appt next week and will be requesting another scan for approx 8 weeks to make sure the HB has gotten stronger and bubs is growing up big!
I cant believe how differently I feel emotionally this preg - so nervous and I actually feel somewhat guilty that I dont feel as 'excited' as I did last preg... does anyone else feel like this?
HPL - *hugs* I'm so sorry this is happening hun *hugs*
afm - bHCG from thursday last week at 3wks 5d was 16, not surprising as DD's results at 4wks 1d were only 29 (5wks 1d going by LMP), had repeat bloods today and I get the results on wednesday, FXed everything will be perfect.
Why can't I be happy I've got past 24 weeks... I just wish I could speed up to 26 weeks... Maybe then I will start enjoying being pregnant and not be so scared I'm going to lose my little girl.
LysnDan - *hugs* it's hard I know, I was scared the entire time with DD, even the goals I set didn't really bring me peace, just more anxiety about reaching the next one. I hope it gets easier for you hun xxx
