Kris, I had no bleeding with Ben and then when I had bleeding and cramping at around 7 weeks with Jared I was sure I'd lost him :( Hope all went well today for you.
Jen, must be the day for late naps! We got into watching The Incredibles and Ben didn't go down until well after 2pm! Oops, he's still asleep now!!! Let's hope we both manage to get them down alright tonight.
Mel, bugger about the lack of work for DH. We're a wee bit worried about DH's job as he works in the flower industry. One of the first things to go when things get tight :( So far so good though. Fingers crossed work picks up for your DH, I know what it's like to not want to go back to work. I've already applied for another two months off!!!
Kaz, DH and I grimly joke that we won't be able to have a little brother or sister for the boys. Seriously, I could count on my fingers the amount of times we've managed to DTD since Jared arrived :( It's so hard for us because DH goes to bed before the boys four times a week!
Us, we're doing well. I'm off to my first ABA meeting tomorrow, even though I've been a member for years. I got the dates mixed up and almost turned up last week :lol: Luckily I checked the dates the night before!!! This is a busy week for us, I'm going to see Harry Potter on Wednesday. I've been dying to see it so bought myself a ticket for a Babes in Arms session since I've got such a mummy's boy. Ben is going to my SIL's place. I can't wait! I don't even think that I'm all that sad since I'm going by myself :lol: We also start swimming lessons on Thursday. All four of us are in the same class, so that should be fun!
I've lost track of time today. Thank goodness I got a casserole into the slow cooker early on. Watching that movie really took time away from us. I can't believe how much Ben was into it! He watched a bit of Night at the Museum last night too - I'm hoping that he'll be interested in watching the odd movie now. There really is a limit to how much Thomas the Tank Engine a girl can handle!!!

Hi...
I had my scan today and there is a little bubs there - but only measuring 4w4d which doesn't really make any sense with my dates...
So I have to wait a whole 2 more weeks for another scan to see if bubs is growing...
I'm going to have a blood test tomorrow to check my hcg levels and then I'll get another one later in the week I suppose to see what's happening...
Feeling very confused and upset that I don't have a clear answer as to what's happening just yet...
Hope you're all well...Chat later!
-
Hugs Kristie...its an anxious wait. How far along do you calculate? Are you still bleeding and having cramps? Make sure you get plenty of rest...if you can.
-
Hey Mel...cramps and bleeding have slowed down heaps - I'd almost say it's stopped...no-one seemed to be worried about that! LOL!
I calculated that I should be around 6 weeks...my cycles do seem to be longer though so maybe I would have got away with 5 weeks but 4w4d??? Seems way too early - would have meant that instead of implantation bleeding it would have been bleeding at conception which would seem very odd!!!
I just have to wait now - I think if this bubs actually is growing it will be a miracle!!
-
Stranger things happen. Plus maybe the bleeding you thought was implantation was from your pap smear...i dunno! At least the bleeding and cramps have stopped.
-
Yeah...I feel nauseous again tonight and soo tired (but then it was a FULL on day - out from 9-5 pretty much and emotionally draining) so I kind of feel p/g...
In fact...I'm off to bed...
Chat later!
P.S Hope everyone else is well - sorry for crapping on about it all at the moment...
-
Hey All,
Kris I hope everything goes well with your blood test, as the girls have said bleeding is really common, but it doesnt help how you are feeling. Hope you get some re-assurance soon. So much for 'crapping on', first its not crap and second, that what we are here for!
Dis - How funny, I have never any money but when I do the first thing I do is buy flowers to cheer myself up! Must be on my own there...hope things pick up for your DH. WHat a busy week you have, will have to get the Incredibles out and see if B likes it too.
Us - Having a really down day again and Beau saying "Mummy cry" and he starts! DH texted me to say he is going on a golf weekend in September. When will I ever get to do something fun?
Hi Mel and Kel and Kaz x
-
Hi...
Thanks Jen! Sorry to hear your having a down day...I think you should definitely give yourself a break before bubs arrives!!
Ooh flowers sound nice - I might have to buy myself a bunch when I do the shopping! LOL!
Went and had my bt this morning - will have intitial results tomorrow and then I'll go and get another lot done on thursday...
I moved my scan forward to so it's next Fri so I don't have to wait the whole following weekend!
Bleeding again today though...
Boys are going well considering I'm in la la land! Did I mention Dylans pretty much dropped his day sleeps??? He' s soooo feral!! He slept in the car yesterday cos we were out and about - he's so tired but just stuffs around so much through the day - gets up 100 times so I just give in - I don't have the energy to battle him at the moment...he's just having lunch now so I'll try soon but can't be bothered with a fight...
Ok...chat later !
-
Kris...I hope the bleeding settles soon for you. Olivia has not been sleeping during the day for ages. At first it was a nightmare coz she was so ferral, but now shes fine. I remember her falling asleep at the dinner table quite a few times.
Good luck with your blood test.
Jen- get some time to yourself before the next one comes...it gets much harder to do so when number 2 comes along. Ben sounds so in tough with his and your emotions.
Us...we are all good. Nothing to report...just checking up on Kris
-
Hi girls,
I am around, just really busy. Working extra hours and stuff.
Kris, I am so sorry you have to go through this. It is so stressful and scarey. BIG, BIG, BIG:hug::hug: hun. The HCG monitoring will be conclusive, though you do have to wait to have consecutive tests.
We are well. Lily's sleeping is back to 'normal' with her waking once or twice. I know the sleeping through was too good to be true! Liam is sleeping pretty average lately too. I am trying not to feed him though the night to get him night weaned, or at least down to one or two feeds a night. He did really well last night and didn't 'demand' to be fed until 4.45 this morning, yay! But he still woke about 3-4 times :( He just wakes and nuzzles me, I shove the dummy in and he rolls and wriggles for about 15mins then goes back to sleep, usually on top of me...:rolleyes: We are putting him in his cot soon, in August, DH and I both have a few days off, so no more cosleeping, and we're going to try to get Lily to stay in her own bed too...it will be a long few days!
My resolve to lose weight has been boosted again after a terrible week. Going to the gym this morning. I went last week too. Only one day a week at the mo, it's all I can afford, but better than nothing! I'd love a membership, but can't really afford it. I'm trying to convince DH that it's more worth it, lol!
Ok gotta go, kids going psyco....
-
Hi!
Mel - Yeah...ferals an understatement! LOL! He ended in our bed last night - he's just learnt (finally) to open our doors so is doing so as often as possible. I haven't had him sleep with us without being sick - ever! Anyway...dh carried him back to his own bed about 5am this morning...
Hope the girls are good and your going well with your weight loss!! I'm so impressed with how well you've been doing!
Kel - Thanks! First lot of results today and then I'll go in tomorrow - I just want to know what's happening before the weekend...
Sounds like it will be a great idea to try and cut out the co-sleeping - for your own sanity - LOL! A couple of days while your dh is home sounds like the perfect time...
What a bugger working so much this week - Yeah at going to the gym though!!! Might be worth checking out memberships - I know my gym costs like $14 a casual class or $17.50 a week membership - CRAZY!! It's really only the creche that makes it expensive for us...another $10 a lesson so I was going to go at night (although that's out the window at the moment - LOL!)
As for me...not sure what today will bring...I had bad cramps last night tidying up the house and really expected to see more blood but just still the same amount - it's definitely not getting worse anyway...
I still feel p/g - am off my food and have woken up with a nice big pimple on my cheek this morning - LOL - although could be from the junk food I'm eating...This waiting is doing my head in that's for sure...I'm still sick - this cold is really lingering...but really all of these things could have nothing to do with pregnancy and just be linked with the stress...?
I'll let you know when I get my bt results - not that I suppose it will give me much info today with only the first number...
Hope your all well! Chat later!
-
Hi! Me again....LOL!
Just heard back from the dr and my hcg levels are over 5000 which is right for about 5-6w p/g...so we will wait and see what happens Fri and see if they're doubling...
It's probably starting to look a little more positive although I'm still very anxious - also feeling quite nauseous today so I suppose that is a good sign as well - LOL! ...
Just battled Dylan to bed - was happy I won though - he's such a difficult little boys sometimes - soooo stubborn!!! I've really had to rethink how I discipline him - He was really good a few weeks ago and then we let it slide but I really need to get on top of it again as it's really difficult when he's so feral....the joys hey? LOL! I love them all to bits though...hehe.
Hope you're all well!
Chat later!
-
:dance: YAY, Kris, that's great news!! It must be a bit of a weight lifted! But I completely understand the apprehension. I hope it's still all good by the weekend. Try to take things easy. :hug:
-
HEy Kris...am glad the bt look good. Look after yourself wont you
-
Thanks guys! You don't know how much I appreciate your support! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Well, Dylan had his sleep today and then would NOT go to sleep at night - I do remember you going through this Mel...I just didn't think I'd have to worry about it just yet - LOL! (wishful thinking???)
It's a catch 22 - leave him up and he's feral, put his down for a sleep and he's...FERAL...although I think I prefer the feral that's in bed at 7pm!! LOL!
Am about to jump off this computer and go to sleep...I'm sooo tired! Did food shopping this arvo - so couldn't be bothered but at least I went on my own which was nice...I must say - dh may not be being super supportive in regards to the p/g but he's helping out heaps at home...cooked the boys dinner while I was out and had a tidy up...he's doing the best that he can!!! I must make sure I appreciate him for that...he can't give what he can't give....
Ok..nighty night!!!
-
Thats great your dh is helping out. Yes we still have the same issue if Olivia sleeps during the day. She wont go to sleep til 1030-11pm. I would much rather get through the ferralness and have her sleep by 730-8pm. Its taken her quite a few months to get used to not sleeping during the day.
Rebecca is waking up for feeds now and shes drinking around 240mls. Please tell me its a growth spurt and she will sleep through soon! Olivia had another nightmare last night, I woke to her screaming but when I got there she was sleeping, so went back to bed and she called out for me. I ended up sleeping on the floor for an hour and a half!
Ok got a busy day...hope all is well:)
-
Hi!
Mel - Ethan still wakes up most nights for a feed - Gosh, Louis and Dylan were done with the by now (although I think thats because they had a dummy) I'm really looking forward to it finishing but who know's??? He eats soooo much as well!!!!! Wow at Rebecca having 240ml! I would be very surprised if Ethan gets that kind of volume from me so it's not a surprise really that he's feeding overnight...
He's eating 3/4 of a oatbrit + baby cereal + 1/3 banana and milk for brekky - Toast & yoghurt for lunch and Veggies and yoghurt for dinner!!!! Crazy! Sometimes I think it's must just be a comfort feed...who knows??
Poor Olivia and her nightmares...I suppose they're getting to that age now!! Louis gets night terrors which is where he's completely out of it and asleep when we go in and he kicks and cries but he's not awake...mostly he gets those when he's overtired...
Ok...off for another blood test this morning and taking the kids to playgroup (haven't been in ages) so I better get a wriggle on!
Chat later!

Kris, great to hear that your results sound good for your pg dates! I'll make sure I check back in tomorrow for your next results. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I'm just thinking back to when I found out I was pg with Jared and I thought I was a week further along too. I only ever had the one period though so I didn't really know what was going on with my cycle. Maybe it's the same with your pg?
Bugger about Dylan and his sleeps. Having said that, Ben is still awake and he should have been down at least an hour ago. I hope we're not reaching that stage yet. I was hoping we would have both boys having decent naps for at least a little while!
Kel, bugger about the extra work, but the extra $$$ is always handy isn't it? I'd still love to catch up. I think we're hitting a quiet patch here with nothing but swimming on Thursdays so let me know when things settle down for you.
Mel, it could be a growth spurt. I've given up trying to keep up with Jared's growth spurts because he ALWAYS seems to be having one! I don't rely on any particular pattern at night anymore because just when I get used to a pattern it changes! J is back to waking up at around 1:30 for a feed which I reckon is the worst possible time for it. I really struggle between midnight and 2am for some reason. I'd love for him to go back to his 11pm- 6am routine, but I won't be holding my breath.
Hi Jen and Kaz!
I've been flat out the last few days and really am feeling it today. We had an ABA meeting, I went to the movies and shopping yesterday and today we had our first swimming lesson. It was so cool, the boys are the only two in the class!!!! It's like a personal lesson which is fantastic. They were both really good. We knew Jared would be but were worried about Ben. He has been bad in water since his double ear infection. he loved it so much though that he made DH stay in the water for an extra 20 mins after the lesson for a play. The best part about it all though is that Jared has now been asleep for nearly two hours!!!! He never sleeps this long during the day! I've told DH we'll have to have a swimming lesson every day now :)
Sorry, this has been a bit of a memememe post! Kris, I'm thinking of you :) I'd best go and try and get Buster off to sleep :)
