Sounds lovely Lisa. oooh its so exciting.

Just think in a few months time we will have nursery photos and big bumps !!

I cant wait
x

 

[lisaf]

Can't wait!!! hehe!
Only problem is we need to relocate the cat's litter box... the next best option is the room where we keep our rat... and for obvious reasons we don't let the cats in that room

 

[stardust22]

Yes very obvious hehe.

I just had my healthy dinner. feel sooooo much better for it!!

Eating bad food makes me feel bloated and guilty. Got a fresh fruit salad for later.

 

[luckyme225]

How are you today lucky? xx

Much better, thank you. How are things going on your end? Bleeding and cramping still staying away? Hope you are doing well.

 

[luckyme225]

Well they sent me for an ultrasound because my hcg levels were high. Of course they don't have the result back for my blood type so they STILL haven't given me the rhogam shot. Luckily the bleed is coming from outside the sac, so it was probably my own blood. The blood spot is only an inch now if that, so hopefully it will clear up soon. She said baby was fine and the heart rate was normal. I got pushed back a few days but I would much rather take that than the alternative. I can't believe my little baby is ok

 

[lisaf]

very glad to hear that everything seems ok... do you know your partner's blood type is RH+? I can't remember if you said that or not

May 11, 2011 here.

YAAAY!! finally got my phone bill paid and my phone line turned back on!!

This year has been so bad moneywise, first the oven and washing machine broke within a week of each other so we replaced them and only finish paying them off in november, then the telly started going bad so we replaced that, then mine and OH's mobile phones died so we had to replace them, now we have DS's birthday this month, phone bill and xmas coming out of next months wages and the month after.. and we still need to get a new kettle and toaster as they broke ages ago

BUT.. next year OH gets a pay rise, effective from january!!! so no worries about being able to afford baby stuff and replacing things that break


Sorry for putting this here, just needed to get it out. Hope you ladies are well xxxxxxx

very glad to hear that everything seems ok... do you know your partner's blood type is RH+? I can't remember if you said that or not

Thanks! My husband has no idea on whether he is Rh - or + I'm pretty sure my son is Rh - , so here's to hoping he got that from both mom and dad.

 

[lisaf]

Lol, darn husband! I think getting him tested is more important than proving to them that you're negative though I guess you'll have to do that too. Sometimes they insist on giving the Rhogam shot to RH- women regardless of what their husband is (on the off-chance that the baby isn't the husbands ).

I know I'm O- because I used to donate regularly... I talked DH into donating with me once and found out he was B+ ... I was actually kind of mad at him in a weird way, lol... cuz I knew I'd have to do Rhogam shots whenever we got pregnant.

 

[luckyme225]

haha! That's too funny that they give it anyway just in case Well the nurse said they got my test result back and it's negative (who would have thought right?) so she's waiting on the on call doctor to see what he wants to do.

Evening May Blossoms!
I don't have enough time to root through all the pages I have missed but it seems a lot fo you are still suffering
Mine seems to have come on suddenly but in a different way. I am stupidly exhausted and dizzy, the dizziness comes on so suddenly bit the tiredness is really really getting to me!
I mentioned it to the midwife when i saw her at the surgery but she just srugged it off as pregnancy symptoms. Could is not be anaemia though?

One question i ahve you you lovely ladies who are also on your 2nd+ pregnancy is i need to start knowing how much I am going to need to save for a decent looking double buggy. I don't want one which looks flimsy or cumbersome as we don't drive and it will get a hell of a lot of use and will have to be functional for a lot of bus travel!

 

[lisaf]

charlotte... I think you should start online shopping for buggies then... read reviews etc... some of the sturdier ones don't collapse very small or require the seats be taken off, not very convenient for bus travel!
I've heard good things about the icandy pear? Maybe see the reviews on that and see how it collapses?

 

[charlotteb24]

Thanks lisa, thats certainly a starting point for me to google and branch off from doesn't need to be able to fold down as busses here have buggy spaces, it just needs to be not to wide or bulky! and it doesn't help that i'm very fussy! haha

 

[lisaf]

I understand! I was worried I'd need a double buggy and almost cried at how ugly and bulky most of them were! ok... I admit it.. I did cry.

 

[mummy3]

Luckyme, im so glad your feeling better and baby is safe

Im waiting for hubby to get home so we can get chinese takeaway, its my birthday and im hungry The ms is a bit more manageable between the 3 pills!

Hubby is being really good though, he works full time and does a lot of free lance, but he gets up in the night everytime without being asked, tidys house every morning b4 work and cooks 2 out of 3 meals

He grew up in a house of women though....

 

[luckyme225]

Happy birthday mummy3 !! Enjoy your take out!!!

 

[Soph22]

I think I found my top choice for cribs last night online... its a bargain too.... but now I'm bummed because I can't order it until we get the room cleaned out DH said we coudl just stack the boxes, but I think its best to assemble right away in case something is wrong.
Its a convertible crib (with toddler rails included!) a changer and a mini-dresser all for $250 with $0.97 shipping! Great reviews too though the dresser is apparently a huge pain to assemble, lol.

where online? I'm not quite ready to shop yet, but would love to know for later!

 

[Soph22]

Happy birthday mummy3!

So one more annoying thing I'm finding w/ being sick while pregnant... aside from not being able to take any cold meds to make myself feel better now when I cough to much (which is often) my stomach decides it doesn't like that and I end up puking at the end of my cough.

hope everyone else is doing alright, aside from all of the spotting, dizziness, queasiness, bad husbanding, and hand burning going on that is!

 

[hopefulmama]

Lucky- I am so glad to hear everything is OK!! I am sure you are relieved!

I haven't even thought about shopping for the baby, I feel like it makes more sense to wait till like 4/5 months. I am also very paranoid, and don't want to jinx anything.
