It fell out! 2 births so far! :-)

[windswept]

I saw my baby! I saw my baby!

Been put forward again to 9+5, and she was wriggling about like crazy - heart pounding away.

They read through all my blood results, everything is good and I finally know what blood group I am! Even though I knew I wasn't, I still worried about being HIV positive - it's scarey when you know they are testing those things! They started the scan on one machine and then took me through to a fancier one in the radiography dept so they could have a closer look at the cyst.

Turns out it is one cyst - it is septated, and has solid and fluid in it - they tested it for cancer and apparently I am okay. It has reduced from 9.5 x 8 cm to 7.3 x 4 cm - which is quite a big reduction. They cancelled my scan on 9 December, as they don't feel that it needs to be monitored so closely - I don't have to go back until 23 December... By then I'll have a clearer picture and get a better view of bubba.

I am delighted that everything is okay, was so lovely to see her. She was really mobile! Off to bed now to see if my doppler will find her.

Also glad to be put forward again - announcement will happen 11 Dec and I can't wait!

I'm having a baby!

Oh, and Mr Windswept and I have possibly chosen a boys name - Lachlan Angus, more fondly known as Lachie! Very cute.

Must have been so exciting to see your bubba on screen, wriggling around

 

[donna79]

Stina so glad all ok , fab news.
Liking the boys name...
How are we all this bright but freezing cold morning?

 

[Toots3495]

Morning Donna, it's a beautiful bright day here but really cold! I'm v disappointed that we have no snow! What's it like where you are?

 

[donna79]

No snow very bright and sunny but still bitterly cold especially when that wind gets going Brrrrrrrrrr

 

[Waitin4astork]

No snow here either- although I'm quite happy about that (not a fan of it when I have to get anywhere!!).
Midwife rang an hour ago My appointment with her is 17th December (patience Kim, patience!) and she invited me to attend an early pregnancy group meeting local to me a week on Wednesday, to go through what to expect, dos and don'ts etc. She also said I should expect to get a date for my first scan through the post in a couple of weeks

 

[Toots3495]

That's great Kim! Is it starting to feel a bit more real now?

 

[donna79]

Ooh that's not that long away you'll have just got your head around everything and then scan followed by xmas busy few months coming for you both there Kim.

 

[Toots3495]

Is your ticker pretty much right Donna cos it's only 4 days till testing. Any temptation to test early?

 

[donna79]

Yup it is and I am going to be very good and wait until Tuesday when the is due to arrive, feeling strangely calm this month - tried hard not to symptom spot (damn it's bloody difficult not to)

 

[windswept]

Hey ladies - not been on as have been busy cracking the whip with Mr W while we get lots of jobs done around the house!

All well today - feeling very real now that we have seen bubba again and the cysts are not as threatening as they were! We keep reminding each other about the bubba and smiling like big kids.

Glad to hear you are getting things moving with midwives, etc, Donna - I was never invited to any antenatal classes, but discovered they were on, unfortunately I won't make next months one. Hope the time passes quicker for you!

Hope everyone is well.

Oh, and as for snow - we don't have a lot right here, but the gritters are busy trying to keep our road cleared, but are struggling with the main roads and prioritising that - just as well we are not needing to get anywhere - though we haven't had our post and the school bus got stuck! MiL is creating merry hell about it all... Dunno why she bothers!
