I havn't had the 'pleasure' of the baby kicking my ribs yet but he seems to LOVE laying by my right hip. Not sure if it's his upper or lower body but it tickles so much every time he moves, it makes me jump!
 
had my gtt done today at midwifes, lovely lol.
antenatal went well baby is measuring 30 weeks and is head down, said she is a sizable baby lol x

on a less happier note, my daughter libby is plastered in chicken pox and last night my mum decided to break the news to me that i had never had them :wacko:

told the midwife today and she has sent off some urgent blood samples.

the only reason it scares me is cos my only uncle was still born at 39 weeks with chicken pox :cry:

hope everyone else is doing great x
 
yikes spiceeb. Hope the bloodwork comes back alright. My mother had chicken pox while she was pregnant with me and I'm perfectly fine - well, maybe a little weird but aren't we all? lol :haha:

I was born immune to chicken pox even so I've never had it but I had my antibodies tested in middle school and again before ttc to confirm I'm still immune. It definitely worked out in my favor, especially since my dad has had really bad chicken pox seven times!

kc, a friend of mine, due the day before me with twins has just had her babies. 2lb8 and 2lbs3 both are healthy and doing well. She had them at 28 +4. I hope this is encouraging news for you, either that or it gives you determination to keep them inside

Thank you so much! That is encouraging.

I've been discharged from the hospital!! It feels so great to be home. I am on medicine every 6 hours to hopefully keep the contractions away. I am also on bed rest. I'm allowed to get up to use the bathroom, eat, and shower. However, I am allowed to float in the pool if I am laying down, I can lay outside, pretty much I can lay anywhere. That is the nice part. I'm not allowed up to prepare any meals, so someone always has to be here to make food for me, or have it already made so I can just get it out of the fridge.

Right now, the hardest thing is coming home and doing nothing. I've been gone for 4 days now, and so much needs done around the house!!!!! My mom came in from out of town to help out, so she is cleaning and doing laundry for me now. I hate that I can't do anything. Oh well - it's better for the babies!

I am scared though that I am going to start having contractions without knowing it again. I didn't know last time I was having them, so how am I going to know next time if I start having them again??? That's a little scary.
 
So glad to hear that your are home KC! Been thinking and praying for you and the girls! I would be scared about not realizing that I was having contractions as well. Just rest up and take your medicine. That's all you can do! You are a warrior women, I would have been freaking out that whole time but you seem like you are in good hands with your doctors and family to help you. Everyday the stay in your belly is a success! Grow babies grow!
 
I agree with Happily, seems like you can only do what you can do, and you can't worry about the rest! They wouldn't have discharged you from the hospital if they were really concerned, after all they have to cover themselves too.

Take it easy! ^_^ Luckily you know that this bedrest is going to have a purpose AND definitely has an end in sight.
 
Hi Ladies!
I had my 3d/4d ultrasound today and it was amazing! Stella was head down and actually moved around quite a bit for us. We got alot of amazing pictures, here are a few. She actually looks alot like both of us.

Hope you are all doing well!! :)
 
What wonderful pics!!!!! I can't wait till we meet these babies... It feels so far away!!
 
Your pics are amazing, the fourth picture shows just how tight it is in there now with her feet right up by her face....how sweet! Not long to go now, nine weeks for me on Tuesday!!
 
Wow Candy! 9 weeks!!! That's crazy!!!! I think 11 weeks from tomorrow for me. We finally are to the final cOuntdown.

Yeah she put her foot in her mouth a few times. And held onto the umbilical cord like it was her blanket. The sonographer thinks she will want a blanket or pacifier. She was sort of quiet when we got there but I ate a Hershey kiss and 5 min later she was crazy active! Sugar apparently kicks in super quick and she was loving it.
 
9 weeks left until due date for me today! I am starting to get some of my nesting instincts which I got last time I was pregnant as well! Still waiting for the building work to be finished in my daughters room and then I can go mad decorating and sorting that and then re organising the nursery ... dont think we will actually be 'ready' for the baby to come until towards the end of July as there is so much to do but then I will be really looking forward to her arriving!

Hope everyone is ok x x x
 
Just under 10-weeks to go for me! Yesterday I finally started to get organised & actually made some good purchases, we've nearly bought everything now - just got to organise the nursery! Starting to get excited & it's all beginning to feel real!
