Hi ladies Had a great holiday and enjoyed my friends wedding while there but now back to reality! At least school is still out for another 5 weeks or so!

Jen so sorry to read about your hubbys accident. I'm really glad he's ok and on the mend. Great bump photos too!

Puppy have you had your docs appointment yet?

Baby D are you feeling any better yet than you were in your last post?

Kerry can't wait to see your nursery photos! My oh says he really loves my pregnant body, but unfortunately for him I am so uninterested it's untrue!

Jess don't stress about prenatals, I'm sure as you seem to be good anyway with food (an observation as you look fit & workout!) that you'll be getting all the vitamins you need from your diet. Hope your rash is responding well now to the steroids.

In other news, my sister has announced she is pregnant too! A little....let's say....surprising....as she is about 7 weeks, the same length of time as she has been with her new boyf. It was an "accident" but they are going to give the relationship a go and she has our family's full backing. It is quite exciting our lo will have a cousin so close in age. As she is diabetic she'll be induced at 38 weeks so they could be as little at 6 weeks apart!

Got another midwife appointment tomorrow. Hopefully will get to hear popcorns heartbeat again. I feel really out of touch with her/him as this is such a quiet stage and other life events have taken my focus off being pregnant. I'm really looking forward to the 20 week scan in 3 1/2 weeks.

Xx

mrspeanut - what a surprise about your sister's pregnancy! I am glad that she has the family support behind her.

I did have my appointment - bloodwork has been done, as has an ultrasound. I am still awaiting the results of the bloods, and will be told about the ultrasound at that point as well. So, unfortunately, I do not know anything new yet! I will also be referred to an OB/GYN once I get the results. Right now it's just a waiting game... still no AF though.

Gen gorgeous bump and even more gorgeous bubba you cooking there! Well done on staying team yellow -- I is couldn't!

Jbell, soundsl like you are going through it with the rash n all, Try not to worry as am sure baby would be fine if you had got preggo this month!

As for me OH admitted that the only reason he is hesitant about a baby is because he is worried about money I understand that what with just buying a house n all. He is looking out for better paid jobs though and I am due a pay rise when back at school after summer hols so hopefully those things will come together and ease his worries --- please send good luck wishes for this please ladies xx

babyD, I hope that can ease DH's mind - thoughts for you and his turnaround! Have you discussed that with him? Remind him that you don't have to buy all new things for baby, and you can do things on a low budget, if need be

Thanks puppy x We have had the chat About reusing much of Millie's baby things which would be a huge help!

Peanut, how are you feeling? 20 week scan so soon! How exciting! And congratulations to your sister -- another bump buddy!

Thanks girls

D sending you loads of good luck wishes with working on your dh. Course you can reuse loads of dd's things, we are going to reuse as much as we can of Henry's.

Puppy hope you're not being driven too crazy with waiting for your blood and u/s results. Xx

MrsPeanut Wow thats exciting news about your sister!! You all must have been so surprised!! Including her! Great how your all supporting her and that your LO's will be the same age and you have someone to go through your pregnancy with!! Good luck for your scan, not that you will need it!

Jess Wow your rash sounds super evil is it any better yet? I so know what you mean about the money thing, We put off starting a family for two years and Im glad I did as we got to do heaps of things and buy nice things and have my own money, but now that Im 29 its all about starting the family now!! You will make the right decision, maybe you and DH could go talk to someone about your fears etc as you said you both kinda keep getting cold feet?? Maybe? Or you might both be genuinely not ready

Jen you have the cutest bump!!, And your baby is actually smiling!!!!! What the crap!!! your baby was smiling! that is so amazing I have never seen an ultrasound photo like that!! Im blown away...Yey your baby is so happy you must be looking after her/him good! Yey for team yellow and great to hear hubby is on the mend and you can start having a break!

BabyD Sounds like hubby is warming to the idea!! My fingers are crossed! I will definately be reusing everything whenever we have another baby not that that is anytime soon, but that is a great idea so you wont have to buy much new stuff, hope he finds another job has he applied for any yet?

Puppymom when is your ultrasound and when do you get your results? Cant wait!! here is a pic of my cycle. So I couldnt go back and change it as it is in the past but take no notice of the cross hairs or the positive O test. I put that in there to see if it changed when I O'd and it put it back. So just look at the temps. I mustve O'd later as I put in when we did the deed.

here is the latest bump pic, i feel huge!! lol And the nursery pics as promised
Im back at work on Wednesday, filled all my paper work out I got 2 swings left then no more work, so Ill be 30 weeks when I finish up which is appropriate for the type of envionment I am working in.
xoxoxox

Kerry - your nursery looks so calming, I really like the bedding! Are your walls a green or blue colour?

As for my ultrasound, I have already had it, but the technician was not allowed to tell me what she saw. I am waiting to hear when by blood work comes back and hopefully then I will be able to go in and figure out what is going on. I was told it could take 3-4 weeks for the blood work to come back, but if I don't hear back by Friday, I will call Monday. Can't hurt to call early!
