Sugar, it sounds promising! Fingers crossed for you

OMG Allie!! High Level is about an hour drive away from me, and I go to Red Deer all the time!! You should apply for a job at that company so you can come up this way lol! Nevermind researching it, just get a job lol!

I laughed at the picture of Alistair as well

Hope the Daycare works out for you Vick!

Good Luck with the sleeping Hearty. It sounds like she is doing a good job so far.

AFM, I got a call this morning from the clinic to give me a heads up that the doctor who is doing my delivery broke his arm this weekend!! UGH!!! so now they are trying to figure everything out. My regular doctor is now covering all of the other doctor's patients and will not be doing my surgery. But now he is not coming to Rainbow Lake this month for the doctor days....I was supposed to see him for the next 3 weeks and the other doctor on the 28th. Now I think I have to see a different doctor that comes to Rainbow Lake this month............I have no idea if my surgery date is going to change yet or not, but I am hoping I can find out more on Wednesday when I go for my doctor appt.

What do you mean surgery date? Are you getting a C-section again? I hope it all gets sorted soon. Good grief, that's a heck of a time for him to break his arm! I'm sorry.

 

[msarkozi]

yeah it's a scheduled c section. I wasn't given the option to try a VBAC (and I wouldn't take it anyway if I was), because my body could not progress past 5 cm with Kash, and I was left there needing to push for hours before they said emerg c section.

The High Level clinic phoned me after work yesterday to reschedule my appt on June 28, which is now on June 19. So I asked if my surgery is still set for July 2 and she was like I didn't know you were having one!!! grrrrr!!! I am going to phone the surgery booking dept and find out for sure. I see a different doctor here tomorrow, and I am going to ask him if I just see him for the rest of the time as well. I am sure having a mix of doctors this time for my pregnancy. The said Dr Walsh is out until September as well, so he must have broke it good!

Mel how frustrating for you hope you get answers quickly so you no where you stand. Hope your date doesn't change. Wow I wonder what he did!

Vicky good luck with the daycare hope you get Hero in to the one you want.

Sugar how are you? Have you had your bloods back.

Well we have our first viewing booked in for our house on Sat morning.

 

[Sugarlove2]

My beta was 4702 which is ok I think. At work so can't get on google properly. Will post later when I get home x

 

[msarkozi]

I would say that is very good Sugar. I remember when I was first pregnant before Kash, that number was only 238, which of course I miscarried. So with you already being that high this early on, it's a good sign

Thanks Luce. I phoned, and everything is still good with the surgery date! Now the doctor tomorrow just better sign me off of work or I will be a very cranky pregnant woman lol!

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Fab numbers sugar, congrats.xx

 

[vickyd]

great numbers sugar!! I would say you have every reason to be optimistic!!!

 

[hoping:)]

great numbers sugar! thinking of you and your bean x

 

[Sugarlove2]

Thanks ladies. I'm tempted to wait till Thursday, rather than tomorrow for the next blood test. I googled and it said that when the hcg hits over 6,000, it slows down and can take longer than 2/3 days to double. What do you reckon? Has anyone else heard of this before?

Mel, I can't believe how near you are to giving birth. Your pregnancy seems to have flown by. Does Kash understand about a new baby coming or is he too young?

Lucy, fingers crossed for your viewing on Saturday

 

[LucyJ]

Great numbers, I've not heard of that I had my bloods with Benjamin done every 48 hrs but my numbers weren't that high with this pregnancy they did them with a 72 hrs gap due the weekend.

Thanks sugar we looked at a house tonight but we didn't like it.

Mel that's good news your date hasn't changed hope your appointment goes well tomorrow & you get signed off.

 

[msarkozi]

Sugar - I think Kash understands. He knows there is a baby in my belly and is always asking to kiss baby. He knows his brother's name is Riley and says it all the time. If we ask him where Riley is, he says there and points to my belly. We tell him that Riley is going to be coming soon, and ask if he is going to help with baby. I have been talking to him about being gentle with baby and ask him what we do when baby cries, and then say things like hugs, kisses, rocking baby and he says yes. We talk to him a lot about the baby in hopes that it makes the transition easier for him. I was holding a friends newborn a few weeks ago, and it didn't bother Kash at all. I know there will be some jealousy, but I am hoping to avoid it to the point that he hurts the baby.

 

[Sugarlove2]

Aww that's so cute. What a sweet little boy!

 

[msarkozi]

Thanks! I really hope Riley is much the same as Kash.....he has great manners, a silly personality, and very loving. I am not sure what more I could ask for! Love that little boy to pieces!

 

[Allie84]

Awww Mel that is so sweet. I can just picture it. What a good big brother Kash is going to be!

Sugar, no more Google!!!! And you can tell me the same when I am pregnant again lol. It's up to you with the bloods but now you know that if they haven't quite doubled it's okay. Hmmmm maybe you are having twins? Just musing, because of the number. Were you taking Clomid?

 

[msarkozi]

Seen the doctor this morning, and he signed me off of work starting tomorrow! Here is to having time to do a nursery now lol!!! When I told him what my surgery date was, he made a comment about if baby waits that long as his head is all the way down now....that definitely explains why I feel pressure at times down there. And now whenever I have the braxton hicks, I am going to freak out lol!

ooooh twins for Sugar How would you feel about that if it is?

 

[Sugarlove2]

I would be extremely shocked by twins and would be very worried about coping with a just turned 2 baby and 2 others . I thought the numbers were about average for 5 weeks. No allie I hadn't started the clomid yet, but I did use progesterone. I got my bloods taken today in the end, so should get the results back tomorrow.

That's fab that you're signed off now Mel!

 

[Sugarlove2]

Forgot to say I've felt sick as a dog most of today, which I'm really pleased about

 

[msarkozi]

yah for feeling sick!!!

I don't blame you; the thought of having twins or any multiples scares the heck out of me!! I really don't know how those women who have them cope!

 

[heart tree]

Sugar those numbers are spot on for 5 weeks for a singleton. At 5 weeks with Delilah my betas were in the 3,000 range. 2 days later they were not quite 6,000. 2 days after that they were in the 11,000 range. So glad you are feeling sick!

Mel enjoy the time off before the baby comes. Would you do a vbac if he decided to make an entrance before your surgery date?
