You must take it easy Ness. I hope that you have someone to help you with the girls.
J has taken to carrying around a Panda Bear with him everywhere he goes. Her name is Suzie Bear, named after the person who gave it to him. When he is upset, all I have to say is "where's Suzie?" and he cheers up when he goes and gets her.

here is a belly pic, taken today.

meg - that's so cute what J does!

It's a hot one here today, but thank god there is sunshine. It's been raining since forever here. Will definitely have to go for a swim after I do the groceries though.

**Nelle** · February 21st, 2008, 03:17 PM

Are you seriously 28 weeks already Jodi!

Amazing!

Meg, that sounds cute of J.

Just came back from a middy appt, some guy in the lift was telling me he was visiting his wife who had their bub 5 weeks early - not what I want to hear!! Might get Rans to help me pack the labour bag tonight.

***Belle*** · February 21st, 2008, 03:21 PM

Jodi - love the pic and congrats on your scan

Nelle - fingers crossed you dont go 5 weeks early.

Nessa - thinking of you mate, you are in good care with the midwife of yours... fingers and legs crossed tomorrow at your day stay at the hospy that everything will be ok..

Havent been around sorry girls, Julia is better but I still have my cold and DH does too, he stayed at home sick today, and julia decided it was the day to not sleep more than 1/2 hour... so early dinner now and off to bed!

I hope you are all well. Have to catchup on the previous thread before I attempt personals so just saying a big hello to everyone until I can.

Yes nelle, it would be a good idea if you start packing your labour bag!
I know, 28 weeks already. This pg is just flying by, which is good. I'm sort of over it at the moment cause it's so damn hot here. But I'm sure once it starts cooling down I'll feel much better.

nessa - how are you going today? I really hope the girls have given you a chance to rest. Well as much rest as you can get with 2 kids running around.

ETA: bummer you're still feeling sick belle. I love your av BTW!!! Hopefully Julia will be a good girl tonight and have a nice long sleep for you.

*Nessa* · February 21st, 2008, 04:13 PM

Belle- hope you feeling better

Jodi- went to my mums and just layed on the couch. whiel her and dad chased after the girls.

Just got my BT results. No signs of PE just high Blood pressure. So will see ob on monday to see how they are going to treat it. more then likely some asprin

still need to rest though and my head feels like its going to explode.

**lilima** · February 21st, 2008, 05:54 PM

Keep up the rest all you preggy girls!

Belle - I LOVE your new look!

**Visitor7** · February 21st, 2008, 06:53 PM

That's good to hear nessa. Hopefully all goes well for you from now.

Nina just fell off the lounge chair onto the ground. She landed on carpet, but got one heck of a fright. She didn't know who to go to, me or Heath. So she kept running to both of us wanting cuddles. It was very cute. Poor chicken.

**shellbell3** · February 21st, 2008, 08:19 PM

Ness, rest up and make sure your Dh looks after you! You don't want that BP getting any higher.

Oh poor Nina, you'll have to have group hug! Love the belly pic.

Very tired so not much from me tonight!

**lilima** · February 22nd, 2008, 06:55 AM

J was up a 6 this morning *yawn* I never though that I would be wishing for a sleep in SOOOOOOOO much.
MIL is staying here tomorrow night, so she will get up with J with me Sunday morning. Woo Hoo!

**caddie** · February 22nd, 2008, 06:58 AM

goodluck today ness!

*Nessa* · February 22nd, 2008, 08:31 AM

Thanks Cad's

Im so going to need it, I have been resitn all night and my head hurts worse then ever. My blood i can feel it through my skin. My midwife is on her way out to do a BP check but im pretty sure im off to the hosptial for monitoring. Or i will end up there anyway caus i am going to cut my head off.

Will keep kell informed!!

**Visitor7** · February 22nd, 2008, 08:34 AM

Good luck nessa. Hopefully you don't need to go to hospital. Keep us updated.

mum3girls · February 22nd, 2008, 08:42 AM

everyone.

Well, Ambah's sleeping a bit better now, feeding less, and my supply seems to have picked up again - maybe it was just a bug

She had her needle yesterday, and is having an early sleep again today, so hopefully she's just sleeping off the rest of whatever she may have had. The dr said yesterday that she seemed healthy, so didn't have a problem with giving her the needle.

Oh, the sudocream came off the couch really easily, just used a baby wipe - thank god we've got wooden floors....and only a tiny tub of sudocream.

Ness - Look after yourself hun, hope everything goes smoothly today.

Kell - Is it your scan today? Good luck if it is.

Jodi - I just checked out your scan photos of bubba, aaaaww!!!! Sooo cute.

Belle - Hope you're feeling better :hugs:

**ShootingStar** · February 22nd, 2008, 11:24 AM

Just quickly popped in to let you know Nessa has gone to hospital for some monitoring.
Will let you all know more when i know.

**shellbell3** · February 22nd, 2008, 12:03 PM

Thanks for letting us know Kell.
Thinking of you Ness, hope everything is ok.

Hi Shar, glad Ambah is alot better. Its fantastic that she is still feeding, I was very sad when Ash weaned herself.

I am so slack today, still in PJ's, didn't sleep much last night and seem to have done something to my neck, its very painful.

**Visitor7** · February 22nd, 2008, 12:07 PM

Thanks for keeping us updated kel. Hopefully all goes well and she will be home soon. Thinking of you Nessa.

sharleen - that's great to hear that Ambah is back to feeding like normal again. Maybe she did come down with a slight bug. Glad the needles went ok. Nina's getting hers on Monday.

shell - slack arse! Get dressed woman!! I've been out most of the morning and I'm totally exhausted now. I think I'm ready for a sleep.

kel - when is your scan, did I read somewhere that it's the 29th?
