Nato I really hope Eloise doesn't get the mumps! It is so horrible to see them sick. The bright side is your friend was able to give you early notice so if she does get it you can treat it quickly

 

[Jaymes]

Ah Lucy! Poor Eloise... I am sorry. Is there any tests they can run in the meantime to see if she's caught it?

 

[NatoPMT]

Thanks hoping. Im a little less hysterical now as i have read a couple of reputable sites that have said its often contagious for 2-3 days before symptoms, which could put her in the clear - others say 6 days before, some say up to 21 days before symptoms'

i took her to play group yesterday and today but will keep her at home for 14 days now just in case. Dont want to give it to anyone else if she does have it

That hat is amazing!!! i would love to have a patience to do something like that, i am such a flake i would wander off before id even read the instructions - can we see penny in it please? I LOVE those native american names, the lizard one is ace. Penny sounds adorable, and eloise constantly sticks her tongue out too, she licks everything.

Jaymes - glad you answered your own question. stay cool. all is well.

Thanks Jaymes, no i dont think so, and you cant have the vaccination after exposure like you can with rabies. The amount of slobbering she is doing, i am suspicious about if she has come into contact with an angry bat.

Hoping that hat is lovely you ar very talanted love her native american names.

Nato Im sorry to hear eloise has been exposed hopefully she doesnt get it. My mum caught mumps a few years ago and het symptoms started with in a few days of being exposed. Benjamin sticks his tongue all the time at the moment and I found him the other day laying flat on the floor face down, he'd rolled onto his tummy and then wriggled of his play mat, rushed over to check on him as he was so still only to find that he was licking the floor I also found him sucking on the table leg of our coffee table.

Jaymes sounds like you've had an eventful day.

I think I may have eaten one to many pancakes feel a bit sick now!!

 

[hoping:)]

Thanks girls! I will post a pic of Penny in the hat when I get home. I will also include a pic of her at her naming ceremony

I love that all of our babies are in the tongue phase right now. Its amazing what facinates them We bought a video phone and gave one to my parents so they can see Penny do her lizard tongue everyday if they want.

Lucy- that is so funny he was licking the floor and table leg I will have to start sanitizing the house at least once a week if Penny starts doing that. For now she is content with licking her toys, hands and me. lol!

Nato- Penny is super slobbery these days as well. If i don't keep a bib on her I have to change her outfit like 3 times a day.

here are some pics from our trip

Spoiler

 

[Jaymes]

AHHH! What a sweet little Monkey!

 

[vickyd]

Nato what a bummer that you have this worry over your head babes! Fingers crossed she didnt get it...

Hoping what fantastic pictures! I saw you in my dream last night, we were discussing baby names and picking out Native american names for Hero!

Im feeling better as of last night. Hero was an angel from the time i picked her up till this morning that she woke up at 9 am!!!! I think I see her two top teeth coming out so maybe the bad whinging phase is finally over.

 

[NatoPMT]

Omfg Penny is ADORABLE!!! jeez she's so cute i almost started crying then. I love the little feet poking out of the yellow dress pic.

haha @ Ben licking the floor, thats so funny. I love the whole tongue poking out thing. Thanks for the reassurance on the symptoms, its been 7 days now. Im starting to feel a bit hopeful that we have gotten away with it. Ill keep her away from playgroups for another 2 weeks just in case

Vic, glad youre feeling a bit better - woodely woo at 9am!! thats my sort of start to the day

 

[Jaymes]

I'm on my way to my doctors appointment. I'm afraid it's a molar pregnancy. My betas are too high. I'll keep updating.

 

[grandbleu]

Jaymes -

Jaymes

Hoping she is just gorgeous love the pictures

Vicky glad you are feeling better

 

[NatoPMT]

I'm on my way to my doctors appointment. I'm afraid it's a molar pregnancy. My betas are too high. I'll keep updating.

My betas were very high too and it lead to me having a cvs but everything was fine

Good luck, will be thinking of you x

 

[NatoPMT]

What dpo were you on your beta testing day?

 

[hoping:)]

Good morning everyone!

Vicky- I’m glad to hear things are starting to get better. That is so funny you dreamt of us giving Hero a Native American name… did we pick something good?

Jaymes- could you possibly be further along? Maybe there is more than one in there? Whatever is causing the high HCG I hope it is good. I will be thinking of you

No, I was charting and the ultrasound showed closer to 4 wks than 6... She said it didn't look molar, and it looks like only 1.

 

[Allie84]

So your'e back Jaymes? And all was well?

Nato, I'm so sorry you have this worry. I take it Eloise wasn't vaccinated with the MMR? I know in the U.S. you get the measles/mumps/rubella combo shot. But then again if your friend had it, I take it vaccination is a moot point as your friend would have been vaccinated...anyways, it sounds like you're in the clear but it's too bad you've had a scare!

Hoping, ohhhh myyyy goodness, Penny is gorgeous. How on God's green earth did you manage to learn to crochet that online?!?! I learned in person from a pro when I was pregnant and never even managed to crochet a baby washcloth, much less a hat like that!!!! Glad you had a good time in NM! Love Penny's names.

Yay, Vicky, glad to hear you're having a good day.

Lucy, I loved your video of Ben rolling over. He's soooooo adorable!!

AFM Alistair seems just find after he his head incident. He's currently still sleeping....not sure what to do with myself now that he's sleeping like 13 hours a night (with two feedings, but still).

 

[NatoPMT]

No, I was charting and the ultrasound showed closer to 4 wks than 6... She said it didn't look molar, and it looks like only 1.

it is quite high for 19dpo, but i just checked back on my numbers and mine were 37,840 on 1 March, which would have been 5+5 which is ridiculously high. I remember my private clinic said it was good, my NHS GP was worried, but everything was fine so i hope thats the same for you

Great she said it doesnt look molar, what are the next steps?

 

[hoping:)]

So what do they want to do next? Wait and scan you in a couple of days... I'm glad it wasn't a molar. What is your HCG level?
