Yay Theresa, first 2009 BFP!!! But I have to say I just knew it already, being a week late.
Lots happening, so much to catch up on.
Firstly Lan, if I catch you before you have a break, I'm so sorry you're feeling this. I can relate, when I had my little meltdown before Christmas it really dawned on me that DH and I were in different places with our grief now... I really thought we were in sync but I suppose it was unrealistic to assume it would stay that way, people deal with such pain so differently. It's hard to accept but try not to feel too bad, it's natural and as the other girls say most of us have had similar experiences with partners. Big hugs, always here for you.
Cindee, hope 27 weeks flies by for you!! what gestation were Hope and Precious?? Losing your son because of a doctor's incompetance must have been so difficult, you're a big woman to be able to deal with that
Sue, after working at your work so long I would sooooo be using up some of that sick leave!!! It's super hot here too, not liking it at all!!
Teagz, sorry to hear DF is sick of the baby talk, it's hard when it's the only thing on your mind. I'm afraid I don't have any advice, DH was into it as much as I...
Paula, good luck with the exams, is it the Queensland supreme court you will work for?
Big hugs to all the other triers, and good luck with the BD and IVF!!!
I have pretty much recovered from my bout of stomach whatever it was... it was so nasty though. I didn't feel better till sunday, just in time for work, yay!!
Today someone asked me how long I had left, then said 'is it just one? Going to be a big baby!" I didn't quite know what to say, especially as he outranked me, if he didn't I may have gone off... I really didn't think I was that big!!! Although I weighed myself on the weekend... 11 kilos so far!!! plus the extra few left over from the first pregnancy, I'm about 15 kilos heavier than my normal weight and still gaining. I was a bit shocked because I don't feel that big, oh well!!! Baby's getting everything it needs for sure
My Mum is visiting and asked the inevitable 'when are you going to tell your brother and sister about the pregnancy?' so I relented and said I'd email them... don't quite know what to say... but I did email a good friend from work to tell him so that's a big step. It's a similar thing to buying baby stuff, it's like going out on a limb... speaking of which I got a heap of second hand baby clothes and blankets very cheap so that was a big step!!
Tomorrow we have a VBAC info session at the hospital, I hope they don't ask for our stories. Afterwards I'm considering going with Mum to look at more baby stuff. What a significant week!! I realised if they decide I need a C section it could be as early as 37 weeks, which is very close indeed!!!! I cannot wait to meet he/she (though I feel it's a he)!
