Maffie - sounds as tho your consultants appointment went well, fingers crossed your scan will be a great one too. At least you've something to look forward to...
Colsy - What is age but a number? I'm just about to have my 2nd, my 1st I had at 20 (was 19 when I found out) I'm 30 now and I'm still going to be 30 when babe arrives... Oh is 45 and this will be his 2nd too (our 1st together... We'd like another too but I'd like to at least have a 18month/2 year gap between them... OH is quite happy with that too... Seems a little odd thinking about another before this one's arrived, but with OH's being so much older. I don't want to leave it too long either; not that the age gap has ever been an issue before... I'm sure it makes sense somewhere..)
In all honesty I think I've a few more hang ups with everything this time, and I'm rather nervous about having a new baby in the house too... I also seem to be more bothered about the labour, not that I had a rough experience last time it lasted 36 mins. Which is where I think my hangs up are coming from, as maternity is reducing it's services in the area, the hospital is about 30 mins away (although my parents live about 5mins walk from it) OH is wanting to be there too, which is really reassuring; but he's not really in a job where he can be at beck and call. Due to job changes after redundancy he doesn't get paternity leave nor will he have accrude much leave by then either and I don't want him to waste it if we don't need him too... I know normal issues for most of us at the moment, I just don't seem to dealing with them very well at the moment, my hormones are all over the shop and none of it is really making much sense. I keep crying and sitting thinking about things which I can't do anything about...
Have the feeling of being very alone at the moment, and not really sure how to shake the feeling. Probably due to the lack of sleep, very early mornings, fustration of not being able to sort the house out as fast as I'd like and generally just being over whelmed by everything that's happening/ has happened this year.
Dads at the consultant's tomorrow, so we hopefully get some good news of the Daddy front... Fingers crossed...
Talk about laugh, ending on a funny... Got to Dad's today to collect DS; Dad was confused about what DS had done to a tray of eggs, he couldn't understand why half a tray of eggs were all broken on the bottom of the eggs. There was egg gooe all over the kitchen floor. DS just kept telling my Dad it was an accident, wouldn't say what he'd done. I looked at the tray and asked DS if he'd been experimenting. DS was so matter of fact, "yes; I tried to see if the eggs were strong enough to hold my weight. He'd put the tray on the floor and stood on the eggs. Heard a crack which he thought was the dog chewing on her bone, and had put the egg tray back on the side". Hence the egg goo all over the floor and all the eggs were broken on the bottom. So "the eggs weren't stronge enough to hold my weight Mummy." By which time my Dad was in fits of laughter on the floor in the kitchen... Little sod... Why didn't you just ask and we could have done the experiment together? Oh to be 10!?!?!
What I meant is I have been following the 'Your bumps' thread so have seen the pics you posted in there - I noticed your bump has grown but, as mentioned, was shocked at the actual size your LO has been measured at. As Florabean says, lets hope its a quick growth spurt or just a lot of water
