I presumed we wouldn't put who it was from? I thought thats where the 'secret' part of secret Santa came from

I'm going to get my gift tomorrow, although I like it so much I want it myself

 

[La Mere]

Well, its supposed to be secret until you get the card, then you would know who was pair with you and such.

 

[mellywelly]

Oh right, I thought it was random who we were buying for, didn't realise the person we are buying for is also buying back for you.

Hey ladies. So this morning the milk (in the refrigerator) was stinky tho it hadn't expired but made it so I didn't want to eat. So I skipped breakfast. Then I decided that I wasn't waiting for my help to come organize baby's room. So I spent all morning doing that. I've just eaten lunch and am laying down hoping baby will move. I haven't felt her move at all today. Which is freaking me out because the dr talked about the cord around her neck, not sure if it's because I skipped breakfast, because I was busy or because something is wrong. anyways not sure how long I'll give it before I go to the hospital, but I'm freaked out.

I would just go to hospital now hun. There is no point stressing urself out as that is not good for u or baby. I'm sure everything is fine and as soon as u get to hospital baby will start dancing as that's the way it works

A few weeks ago I hadn't felt baby move all day. I went in at 5pm just to be sure and as soon as I sat down in the hospital baby started moving like crazy

 

[Leinzlove]

Snow: Definitley go in... Everything is fine I'm sure. But, its always better to be safe then sorry. Or maybe have some juice or jiggle the belly a bit.

Woah! Guatemala just had an 7.5 earthquake! I was talking with my mom and niece on Skype and all of the sudden they started running out of the diner room into the garden. Scary stuff!!!!

Oh man!! Is everyone ok??

My family was normal after it finished. I've been keeping an eye on news and it seems like in old country towns some houses fell. :s 7.5 is very strong!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Oh right, I thought it was random who we were buying for, didn't realise the person we are buying for is also buying back for you.

It's a secret santa 'til you get the gift! So you still don't know who is going to send you... 'til... they actually do hahaha.

HAVE FUN!

Its s good job someone said how its been done then as I was just going to write love from your secret Santa!

When we do our work one, we don't put who's it's from, then the fun is trying to work out who bought for you!

I bet it's fun! I remember we would send little hints with candies to make them guess, but did let them know by the time we gave the gifts! But it's a lot easier because it's in person, unlike a forum.

I've been thinking sooo much about what I want to make for the card and little gift! It's so much fun. I even ask hubby all the time what he thinks of my ideas haha.

 

[La Mere]

That does sound like fun, Melly! I just thought it would be easier this way because like DeeDee said it is on a forum. sorry if I have caused any confusion

 

[mellywelly]

I'm just buying, my making skills are not good!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

I'm just buying, my making skills are not good!

I bet that whatever you buy is going to be great!

 

[La Mere]

Lol same here, Melly.. At least I am buying the card anyway... *looks around sneakily* I actually already have the gift...

 

[sassy_mom]

Now I have too many ideas of things to put into the envelope!

Snow go in if you feel it necessary. Don't wait and stress out!!! They would rather you be safe and ask them to check.

 

[AJThomas]

I already kno what gift I want to get but my envelope is not gonna be card size for sure but I'm gonna get it anyway cuz I think the person I got will really enjoy it I haven't gotten it yet but I'm going to very soon, I even had DH go check it out for me.

Snow - Hope that baby wakes up & it eases your mind. If not I would just go and get checked.

Deedee - Glad your family is ok! I've only ever been in a really small quake... my pan fell off the stove & I nearly pee'd my pants! I actually thought a bomb had gone off in the building as we never get earthquakes. I can't imagine it being part if normal life.

I saw my consultant today & baby is only measuring 26 weeks, so I'm booked in for weekly growth/doppler scans now. It takes about 3 hours in the hospital (as they always run really late) & DH can't take half a day off to look after DS every week, so I'm not sure what we'll do. Maybe transfer my care to my parents hometown earlier than planned, but then I'll have a 4 hour round trip to appointments

Anyway, I'm not overly concerned about the size yet, but we'll see what happens. I'd hoped it wouldn't be an issue this time, as I didn't want to feel pressured to have an early induction or c-section with no obvious reasons for the restricted growth, but that may be where I'm headed. As long as the baby keeps growing at it's own pace & there are no other issues, I think I'll refuse to deliver before 39 weeks, even if it ends up being tiny. It's just so hard to know the best thing to do!

I've decided what card I'm making for the secret Santa & have done a small gift too

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Been non existent today! I really need to catch up but I have to go to work now Catch up with u all later!

Snow I hope everything is good, did u go get checked?

Oh no, what a hassle! I'm sure all your efforts will be very well worth it though!

It seems like an awful lot of us have something or other which places us in the high risk category or is just just a total pain in the neck. Is there anyone left who doesn't have GD, High blood pressure, small baby, SPD, spotting.... etc etc? Don't know if this is unusual, or just typical now that the monitoring of pregnancies has advanced so much?
