September Sweet Peas (Our 2015 Rainbows)

Aw sorry bug. You will get back to work before you know it and back on track. Just a little 'bump' along the way.

Happy BnB anniversary MrsR :)
 
Bug, I know you must be having bittersweet emotions right now, but rest assured you're doing your best for your baby and of course for yourself - you need to be healthy for Iain and for the new baby.

I do understand the financial burden though. I'm self employed and luckily 80% of our income comes from my husband's job, but my 20% still helps. In the past month or so I've become slower (my job is manual to a big extent - I make and sell clothes - but being a one person business I also do everything else, from marketing to finance), so I've started to turn some business away, as it's taking me longer to finish stuff that would normally be much quicker to do. And it's only going to get worse. My plan as of now is to stop working all together around the time I hit week 36 and devote the first few months of baby's life to being a full time mom. Then at some point ease back into work, but only as part time. It may not be for a year or longer that I return to full time work. This is the plan, however, given how much harder some things are already becoming for me to do, I've wondered a few times if I might be forced to stop earlier than planned, so we'll have to see how things go. This will definitely put a financial burden on the family budget, especially with the added expenses of a new baby, but luckily, we are expecting a raise from DH's job to kick in next month. So at least that should give us some breathing room and somewhat offset what we'll be losing from my reduced work.
 
Maryanne, I'm so sorry to hear about the bleeding and your placenta. I will be praying that all is well with your baby. I'm glad they'll be monitoring you closely.
 
Christi, so glad you had a nice scan.

Bug, I'm sorry that you cannot work right now but know it's for the best.
 
Bug that must be tough for you but it really is best for you, baby and your little boy. I can understand your frustration as the decision was taken out of your hands.

Christi I'm self employed too but am really lacking motivation already! I only stop work for a very short time as I was able to have my daughter with me so it didn't make much difference.

Eeek my anatomy scan is tomorrow...wish me luck girls, positive thoughts that baby looks great!
 
Good luck yazzy!!

Had a doc appointment today, and guess what?? They do have a fetal heart monitor!!!!! :happydance: I got to hear baby for the first time :cloud9: heart rate was 158 bpm and so funny the nurse was looking too low and I told her I felt LO a little higher and she found him/her!! So it's definitely baby I feel. My screening came back normal for chromosomal abnormalities and... my gender ultrasound is booked for May 4th at 6 pm (EST)!!! Baby better cooperate or its grounded!!!
 
Awesome Carebear!

Good luck Yazzy!!

My specialist appointment is tomorrow as well! Hopefully we both have good news!
 
I have an appointment tomorrow but it should be a pretty regular check-up.
 
Good luck for your appointment tomorrow as well Wantabby!

Great news carebear!
 
Great news care bear!!!!

Good luck today wantabby and cutie!



It's gender day!!!! :) :) :) :)
 
Great news Carebear! :happydance:

Best of luck yazzy and wantabby! :flower:

And yazzy, I lack motivation too. It's getting progressively harder to do things, I can't imagine how it will be in a month or two (or 3 :wacko:).
 
My appointment went well today. Measuring perfectly and a 150 heartbeat!
 
Great news cutie!

My anatomy scan went great today :) everything looked good and measured as it should. Baby is a little wriggler! I am still team yellow but had a good peak while the thighs were measured and am sure there were some boy bits on view...we shall see!

My best friend went in labour today a month early but gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I am so happy for her...what a happy day!

Hope everything went well Wantabby and can't wait to hear your gender reveal bug!
 
Glad your appointments went well cutie and yazzy!! How exciting to be team yellow yazzy!!
 
Yay great news Yazzy!!! Congrats to your friend!
