I was thinking the same. Normally she posts by now.

Hope things are ok for you Georgi.

I'm here... It's just that everytime I have logged in to BB someone has come in to my room so I haven't had the chance to post. It's so strange, I have all the time in the world yet can't seem to get everything done lol.

I've had a handful of friends ring to see how I was so that has also taken up quite alot of time.

There was a new midwive today, well one I haven't met yet, and we spent lots of time talking about birth. She teaches the pre natal classes & when I told her we missed ours she was happy to have a chat. It was great.

I'm still stable. Temp, BP & heartrates are all good. Bub has been a little quiet today which has only concerned me as I've read that they go quiet just before labour starts. I also had alot of BH & tightenings yesterday & this morning plus getting some mild period pain again. But today hasn't been as bad. I had quite a lot of fluid loss overnight too. I feel pretty ok though.

DH came to visit, as he does everyday, & I decided I wanted to go outside. For the first time in 10 days. It was so weird. We took a really slow walk to the local IGA express so I could get some more maternity pads & I wanted to get more face wash but they didn't have what I wanted so I sent DH home with the empty tube to buy it for me tomorrow. I told him to not bother coming to visit me tomorrow. It's his rostered day off so I don't want him to travel 3 hours just to see me. He's tired from working & travelling so I hope he stays at home & recovers. Also his brother is up from Sydney for the weekend (staying at our house) so he should spend tomorrow with him.

I've organised to meet my new friend (from room 904) Jane for coffee tomorrow at 1pm. We decided to go downstairs to the coffee shop for a chin wag.That'll keep me entertained for a while anyway.

I'm feeling very good about things. I will feel even better once I hit that 14 day mark. Only 4 days to go now. But I am ok with it if bub decides he wants to come. Ideally he'll wait till I hit 34 wks.

Thanks again to you all for all your encouragement. I'm so sure it's playing a crucial part in bub hanging on. xxx

Georgi glad yours and bubs stats are good.... all is well. Super!

I bet you enjoyed the walk outside! The vitamin D outside would have done you very good from the sunlight.....

Enjoy having coffee with Jane tomorrow! Sounds like something you both will enjoy, can sit and have a nice chat together about everything....

I'm glad you got to talk to that lady about prenatal stuff seeing as you missed the classes. I'm sure alot of the info you would receive at prenatal classes would also be in the books you have read too so i reckon you are very prepared Georgi you've done alot of research etc.

Talk soon buddy

Sounds like everything is coming along nicely still. I hope the increased b/h or lack of movements don't eventuate into labour.

Enjoy your coffee with Jane today.

11 days since your waters broke. It's amazing, I think.

Can I ask a question out of curiosity. How do they keep down your risk of infection? Is there something special you do, or just being in hospital in a sterile environment is enough?

Hooray Georgi!!
I am so impressed, you're doing soooooo well!
That little guy is one special boy, doing all the right things for mummy already
It's wonderful you've met someone from the GC, great to have someone to chat to!
Congratulations again
Amber

Thanks again girls..

KURAIZA They put me on a 11 day course of antibiotics which I finish today. But from here I need to avoid sex (well that's not hard to avoid considering my environment) & avoid baths (there's no bath here). Then they just monitor my temperature to ensure it doesn't rise. Plus bubs heartrate can show signs of infection if it's too high. I have these observations checked every 4 hours.

RENSTAR I did enjoy my walk, but it was dark so no vitamin D here. Though it looks nice & sunny today so I might sit outside for a while

JODI Thanks. Bub is back to his usual bouncy self today. And not too many BH today either

AMBER I'm just so keen to get back to Tims care. This Ob doesn't compare to him

HOLLYE / SNOOPS Thanks... Everyday is a blessing

I had to have another 20mins on the CTG today as when they did my Obs at 10.30 bubs heartbeat kept missing a beat when the midwife checked with the doppler. The Ob didn't seem to care. He said it was normal but the midwife wanted to be sure so she put the CTG on. It was all fine. Bub mustn't like the sound of his own heartbeat cause he always goes crazy when the CTG or doppler is on him.

How special Tuesday week will be. September 2nd is my wedding anniversary (1 year) plus I will hit 34 weeks on that day too. I only just realised that this morning. So now there's even more of a reason for bub to hang on till then. It's a shame DH & I will have to celebrate in the hospital cafeteria instead of the beautiful hotel in surfers that we were planning. It's amazing how life can throw these curve balls at you. I had such a romantic night planned too. Bummer! I'm guessing they'll transfer me back to Pindara on the day.

Lunch will be here any minute now. I'll check in a little later today
