Well I had a little scare again this morning with bowel movement, a little and I mean a little bit of pink discharge. Of course I have been freaking and googling, but it has stopped, think again that it is just when I push a little, it causes a little bleed. Can't wait until the scan on Monday and then hopefully (I hope!!!) I will relax more.
Laney - on a good scan, isn't it exciting seeing your little bean on the u/s, I had my first one at just over 8 weeks and it was moving a little and the 2nd scan at just over 10 weeks and the movement the little bubs had was amazing.
Paula - well done in making the decision to do some more study and that you will be getting your admissions qualification. I am also glad you have set a date to start TTC, it is such a big decision.
Lan & Jo - will be thinking of you guys next month with TTC. I hope you both have early success and event free pregnancies.
Katie - glad you have your house all sorted out. It is good that you are still all mobile, but still try and get some rest.... because when bubs comes around, not rest for you!!! he he he. I will be thinking of your mum and hoping all is OK.
Big hello's to Tildy, Roz & Cindee - hoping all is well.
Well Christmas is coming up so fast, we have made some decision on what we will be doing and we are going down to see my mum, sister and brother (and families) for Christmas in Loxton, which is a country town about 3 hours from Adelaide.
I am looking forward to it, as spending time with DH family is a lot more stressful, as there is normally a lot of friction and fighting. Though we are trying to organise a quick catch up on Christmas Eve with DH Family.
My father passed away on Nov 30th last year, so we had a really quiet Christmas last year and mum wasnt really up for it (which is understandable).
So hopefully we can do a lot of celebrating, especially with bubs on the way..... though no ham, prawns, alcohol..... though it is all worth it.....
Wow, what a time of milestones... Katie is officially full term, Sue is past 12 weeks, Tildy past 17 weeks, lots of new BFPs. I've been feeling lots of kicks which is lovely, but now I know that inevitably I'll worry if bub doesn't kick for a while, as that's how I found out the baby had passed last time. And as much as I love my bump, I now cannot wear my uniform anymore. Catch 22s!!! I was going to start wearing maternity uniform on Monday, but chickened out. Tomorrow is the day now, because on Thursday we have a farewell lunch and we're wearing civvies that day, and I look pregnant in all my normal clothes (which are all maternity clothes now anyway) so I figure it's better to announce it tomorrow than have everyone looking at me strangely on Thursday, wondering if I'm preggers or just getting fat. Anyway, I had my performance debrief with my boss today so I took the opportunity to warn him that if I appear shaky or upset it's because someone has probably asked me something like 'didn't you just have a baby?' or 'is this your first?' (still no idea how to answer that one). He was really supportive, which is nice considering he's a single divorcee with no kids, but has been really understanding so far.
Anyway, I wanted to do all the personals but am now really tired (for a change!). Tomorrow we have our first appointment with the midwives to book in for the birth, then next week is our morphology scan!! Time has just flown by!!!
Love Rozzie
p.s. my second most annoying ad after the Fernwood one is now the one where Maccas advertises 'seasoned avocado' on its burgers. When Macdonalds is describing avocado as 'seasoned' it makes me physically ill to imagine what's in it. Bluurggh.
Just a quick post as I'm stuffed and still getting used to being back at work. I can't believe I've been going to bed at 8pm and consider it late!!!
Rozzie, you made me laugh about the seasoned avocado. I had just finished saying that exact thing to DH!! Next time I need something to distract me from work I may see if Mr Google can help me find out what the 'seasoning' actually is!!
Laney, double congrats to you... a good scan and a new ticker. How exciting. I know its early days but every little milestone counts here with us.
Sue, bummer about the bleed. Doesn't your body know not to freak you out like that! Thank goodness your scan is next week and you can hopefully get some reassurance. You are doing so well and we are all willing you along your way to that magical full term mark!
Lan and Jo, part of me is jealous I am not ttc next month but I know it is better for me to wait. DH and I have put a deadline of Feb at the latest but will most likely start ttc in Jan. I think AF is due late Dec so will most likely start ttc after that. Not that far away really. I can only imagine how you girls are feeling, I am already freaking out. Part excitement and part sheer terror! I'm glad I'll have you girls just ahead of me to give inspiration.
Hi to everyone else. Take good care of yourselves.
Hi everybody, have been so busy lately it's hard to get on here! I hope everyone is doing OK, we are good, although Corey has had another chest infection, I swear since starting daycare he has got one thing after another! It is so horrible to watch them when they are sick, it just rips my heart apart. I was cleaning today and pulled out Cooper's box to wipe over, well I didn't finish the cleaning for awhile! My God I miss him so much.
Sue - I had some pink mucous 2 days ago too, I hope you haven't had any more. I can't seem to get through a pregnancy without it, I almost expect to see it at some stage but when I do it still takes me back.
rozzie - I don't know how to answer the question of 'How many children do you have?' I still struggle very much with that one. The lady that took my bloods asked me if this was my first, and I immediately said 'No my third' then the questions came 'How old are the other 2?' .....
Katie - Full term!!!! How are you feeling?
I have to go, Hi to everyone else sending those about to TTC baby dust, us who are preggars sticky Vibes, Katie - Labour vibes! And those getting ready hope.
on a good scan, isn't it exciting seeing your little bean on the u/s, I had my first one at just over 8 weeks and it was moving a little and the 2nd scan at just over 10 weeks and the movement the little bubs had was amazing.
