AFM... I am spending the day resting and/or sleeping on the couch with Emily basically only getting up to change her and for my food. I am so tired I gave up with the idea of housework or laying her down to sleep for today.

[cathgibbs]

Awwww Amy im starting to worry about you hun you sound mentally and physically exhausted are your parents still at yours? Xxx

 

[cupcake1981]

Well the knitting book kind of served a dual purpose Bailey! I might be able to get one in town tomo tho, fingers crossed!

Cath I hope you get him tonight.

Amy can your mum come back and stay to give you some support?

 

[AmyB1978]

No they left a week and a half ago. I am ok, just tired. Somedays are better than others, depending on how little sleep I get the night before or if I've skipped too
Many naps it adds up. I'll feel good/ not tired so won't sleep but then I end up
Exhausted later. I am just having to learn that resting when she does isn't being lazy and that even though I am home with her I can't do it all ( laundry, basic cleaning, etc) at least not all the time.

This morning has been really nice, relaxing and napping on the couch sitting up with her asleep on my chest. I needed it!

 

[cathgibbs]

I totally agree on napping when Emily does hun. You need your sleep aswell.......forget house work....dh can do that! Xxx

 

[CherylC3]

Aw loving the scan pic Hun

Hope all u ladies hav a nice weekend. Xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Morning ladies, hope you are all well today!

Cath - did you get df?

Cupcake - has it sunk in yet, this is your rainbow!!

Cheryl - do you have any nice plans for the weekend?

Mrs d - I hope you are having a nice time with your hubby!

Tawn - hope you have a relaxing weekend and rest up, after all your hard work last weekend for ds's birthday!

Amy - I hope you are still sleeping!

AFM - I feel like I've been doing a marathon or something, my muscles all ache, my hips hurt and for some weird reason my fingers all feel stiff and my wrists hurt!! Maybe it's due to swelling or something? But I said to df I hurt all over and he said "stay in bed then" I wish it were that easy, but it could be from lying in bed that I ache!!!

 

[cathgibbs]

Yep I got him lol even put my legs up after it lol

Awww hun why dont you have a nice soak in the bath? Xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Hehe good on ya cath!! Are you still using the preseed?

Yeah think I might have a bath. Just googled stiff fingers in pregnancy and its another sign of carpal tunnel. It's amazing all the things that happen to your body lol!! The suggestion for reducing it on the webpage was not to lie on your arms.....then how the frick am I supposed to lie lol!! Can't lie on your back, can't lie on your stomach, no other choice but to lie on my side and consequently on my arms lol!!

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey pregnancy does do weird things to your body, I have a friend who developed arthritis after her pregnancy! Have a chill out day.

I woke up so early at like 5am, like you do on Christmas Day when you feel excited! I'm just so unbelievably happy at the moment

Cath I so hope you catch the egg this cycle hun!

 

[baileybubs]

Aww I'm so happy for too cupcake!!! It's so great, and I still think you had some sort of gut feeling that it was all ok this time, you sounded different to last time, like you knew deep down it would all be ok!

 

[cupcake1981]

I don't think I ever let myself believe that it would be ok, but maybe just that I felt like I had a better chance this time cos I had soooo many symptoms. I was still a wreck, and started crying when I sat on the bed in the scan room and told the sonography why, which was actually a good thing as it meant as soon as she put the probe on me she said 'I can see baby, baby looks fine', so I didn't have to wait!

Found out where they do gender scanning at 16 weeks, it's where I went for my first ever scan with first pregnancy.....to book or not to book? I'm not gonna totally trust it until after sex is confirmed at 20 week. My mum was a little disappointed when I said we were gonna find out the sex, but then we said oh that's alright we won't tell you then, and she was like no I need to buy stuff! Haha, she's excited bless her.

 

[CherylC3]

Yeah cath for getting df... Pillow under bum and cycling in mid air tht was my favourite bit lol...xx

Bailey just cut ur arms off lol my arms kills me from sleeping on them, my friends coming over later but apart from tht nothing exciting..x

Cupcake I told u third time lucky works a treat. Xx

 

[CherylC3]

Cupcake we found out at 20 wks and kept it from everyone and told our parents at 32 wks and they hav went daft buying stuff.x

 

[baileybubs]

Lol that made me chuckle Cheryl sometimes I lie there saying to df, "where's this bloody arm supposed to be able to go?!" Lol!! I spread my arm out and I still get pins and needles just from lying on my shoulder! Oh well all worth it!
That'll be nice to see your friend. I've still gotta go get MIL's present!

Cupcake - aww it's so great that your mums so excited!! I think it's better finding out the gender coz its easier to buy stuff then. And your mum will love buying little outfits and things that are harder to buy in gender neutral lol!!
I would say go for the private scan, purely because I wish I had done one as I didn't get to see anything. Plus, although they still can't say for sure at a private scan, they are specifically looking for gender for you, whereas at a NHS scan if they don't happen to get a good enough look whilst taking their measurements then they won't go back and look again. I nearly didn't find out, but coz they couldn't get a good measure of her head coz she was so low down I had to go back in after a walk and they caught a better glimpse then. Otherwise I wouldn't have known!

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah that's one way of looking at it, or if they can't tell me at 20 week ill just go private then! See how I feel in a few weeks!

My Doppler has arrived at my mums, can't wait to try it later on!
