[kgriffin]

glad you're off work today kim, relax and enjoy, im back to work already, tired and feeling pretty lazy, although my work load is huge since this is alredy a 3 day week, i guess im not that busy though since i am on here lol, sometimes i just need the mental break

Joy, it's so lovely to hear from you and thanks for sharing the poem.

How was everyone's Christmas? Any plans for New Year? Who couldn't resist getting some items for baby in the sales?

Also, how is everyone feeling now? Anyone getting a little bump yet?

Love to you all!

Laura and Amy,Im so sad to hear the bad news.Nothing I can say will take the hurt and pain away from you,but just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. God has a plan for you and your many blessings to come. Love,Cecelia.








Here is the new scan of Baby done yesterday. One is 3d and the other is 4d.They had to edit out the arm so we could see the face. Baby seems fine so far. My placenta is low lying though.Hope it moves up. Doctor couldnt tell the sex because the cord was tucked down between the legs...

thats so nice cecilia! Love the photos, too bad you couldn't try to have a peak at the sex eh? When is your next scan?

 

[joeybrooks]

Hi ladies, hope you all had a lovely christmas. Just wanted to let the girls know that they are still in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping all will work out in the long run and you will still have your 2012 babies xo.

My Christmas was quiet, it seemed to pass in a bit of a blur, part of me still feels like I am waiting for it to arrive. My MS eased around Christmas Eve, which was great and I am getting some energy back - I actually voluntarily cleaned the house the other day (this is different from having to clean it because it is a natural disaster waiting to happen).

Of course with the easing of the tiredness and sickness comes the question - is the baby still ok, but I knew and hoped that this time would come, so until my next scan, which isnt until February, there isnt really much more I can do.

My mum and I were looking at push chairs yesterday and things all became very real. She was talking about all sorts of stuff that I hadnt even considered and I was a little overwhelmed, but I am sure I will get used to it all - well at least, I had better.

I am still off work until 3 January, maybe that is why I have more energy, whatever the reason, it is nice to have some time at home to myself to take it easy and watch the silly TV shows that I don't normally have time for and just clog up my Sky + before I give up and delete them.

I dont really have much more to update except to ask when you are all moving to Second Tri. That is almost as scary as the BFP!!! I havent even dared peek over during these first 12 weeks, so it will be totally new to me, but I am not sure when to move. I suppose mentally I feel ready as there is so much being written in the first tri that isnt really relevant to me any more, but I am sure there is so much going on in Second Tri that I will have to google, just to keep up with the conversation.

Anyway, all the best to everyone and I hope you all have a lovely New Year period and the best 2012 you could possibly hope for xo.

Good morning ladies.

Hope everyone had a great christmas!!! Joy that's a beautiful poem, thanks for sharing. And VERY good news on AF coming!! Laura and Amy I am hoping that you guys are soon back into the game too.

As for me well, I'm feeling MUCH better, I'm down to 1 nausea pill a day, I'm tempted to try and stop it, but the last time I did that I was misearable for a week!!! so I think I'll keep on with the one pill for a while yet!!

Michelle what happened with your son and the fifth's disease? We are almost out of the 21 day incubation period for chicken pox!! yipee!!! so now as per my doctor I need to avoid kids (hahah hard when you have one LOL) until 20 weeks!!!

I'm still off today, back to work tomorrow.

Kim

Kim, Thanks for asking!

Ladies were making it out of the "danger zone" which is a big freaking relief! Kim: I got some blood work done and it determined that i have the antibodies for it so they aren't to worried about me getting it from my poor little girl! which is a good thing cause it can be crazy harmful for the baby, but instead my oldest brought lice home!

I can't catch a break this pregnancy! I have a follow up next week to make sure everything is in the good!

 

[kgriffin]

oh no lice! Cheers to a better 2012 health wise for all of our families.


joey - so glad to hear you are starting to feel better, and that you are having more energy, i am having less energy and my sick feeling is starting to creep back, i thought maybe it was the flu, but im not certain.

as for me, i have the genetic counselor appt on tuesday with dh, and i have the autopsy report, i read all 11 pages over, but its all jiberish to me, even though I work in the medical field, better to have a professional explain it, i hope everything is still okay, i dont have a scan until the end of Feb either

 

[Mrs__P]

Happy New Year Ladies!! I hope you had a good one.

I have been checking in over xmas but not had much time to update.

Thanks for all your kind words re my scan....next one on 14th feb...can't wait! All the scan pics are great!!!

On the downside I found out i am RD Negative and my DH is Positive so I have to have to Anti D Injections. Not such a big deal but another needle!!! Never mind.

Everyone knows now which is a relief.....don't have to sneak about anymore and everyone has been realy positive. I hope all your experiences have been good too.


I hope all you ladies with kiddies and different virusus etc don't catch them!!! Fingers crossed.

Laura....I am devastated to hear your bad news. My thoughts are with you and I hope you managed to have a good xmas and new year despite the news. My best wishes and good luck for a speedy recovery so you can get back in the game. **HUGS**.

Amy.....oh no, not you too!! Such sad news. I am glad you are being so positive and good luck! Hope to see you here again soon. **HUGS**.

Joy....its lovely to hear from you!! What a gorgeous poem and so glad AF is back!! All the best for 2012.

Kim.....My fingers are crossed that your MS will ease up soon. Glad to hear its getting better. You're fantastic for dealing with it so well.

Cecelia....your scan pics are great!!! You can see so much detail on them. Thanks for sharing.

Joey....lovely to hear you had a good break! I am back at work today after nearly 2 weeks off of long lie ins and afternoon naps....its going to be a tough week!

2nd tri is here!!! I can't believe it. I am moving over today as I am exactly 14 weeks.

So back to work for me then.....though top of my to do list now is a pair of maternity trousers for work.....I am so god damn uncomfortable today!! Had to keep my top button open!!

Speak Soon

Hey Nic wow sounds like you're doing great, so glad to hear that everyone was happy to hear your news.

Kate thinking of you today at your genetics apt keep us updated!! Your mom have her date yet? YOu may have said and I may be just having a pregnancy brain moment LOL

Michelle awesome news that you have the antibodies!! hope your daughter is feeling better.. and lice wow you can't catch a break!!

Joey that's awesome that you've had such a relaxing break, I too am feeling like i have much more energy which is great!! I'm also off my nauseau meds all together today.. day 2... I'll keep you all posted if it lasts!! it would be very exciting since I was on them the whole 9 months last time... maybe this means it's a girl this time?

Cecilia your pick is sooo cute, I was showing my OH since we are going to have a 3D ultrasound.. can't wait.. we're going to do ours around 25 weeks I think. So were they able to see what they needed to see?

Jill I have to say, that I definately have a bump, I actually had to go out on Christmas Eve and buy some clothes, in particular pants since I had NONE that fit me LOL

Well I should get back to work I have an apt with the OB tomorrow, hopefully get to hear LOs heartbeat this time!!!

Take Care

Kim

 

[Gitlost80]

I have a sneak peak Gender ultrasound next Tuesday...My group of 4 friends are all within weeks to a few months of me. 2 are having boys 1 is having a girl. I am hoping more towards a boy since I have 2 already,but Im pretty sure its gonna be a girl.I can feel it in my bones.

What about you all? What do you think you are carrying?

 

[kgriffin]

hey nic - so glad to hear you shared your news and that is has been positive feedback, its always nice when its out there!

hi Kim - thanks for checking in! My mom had her preop today and her surgery is Thursday, she is looking forward to this being behind her.


I saw the genetic counselor, she reviewed the autopsy, she said the mother hemorraged and it caused the baby to have too much blood, the blood went to the brain and detroyed the cells since they are so sensitive.
so its the best of terrible news at least

i went to my ob right affter to explain the pressure and she checked me out to see if the baby was sitting low, which he/she wasn't. she said it was just musculo-skeletal streching, and if it happens more when im moving around, thats definently what it was.

we finally heard the hb today! dh came with me and it was great, very strong at 145 I feel sooooooooooo much better and very happy

 

[joeybrooks]

I will be thinking of your mum on Thursday xx

 

[klsltsp]

Hey Kate

well that's the best good/bad news you could get, you must be glad that's over, and so relieved. Good news on the strong heartbeat!!

Glad that your mom is finally getting her surgery, well all be praying for her on Thursday.

Well I have an apt with the OB tomorrow, I hope that we get to hear the hearbeat too this time!!

Off to do some yoga!! LOL

Kim

 

[Gitlost80]

Good Luck to MaMa on Thursday. It will be a whole new start for her

 

[kgriffin]

thank you to all of your beautiful ladies, so much kindness, much appreciated.

Kim, can't wait to hear about your appointment tomorrow

 

[klsltsp]

Hey ladies

Well I am back from my apt all went well, I have gained 5 lbs in the last 4 weeks, not bad, I'm happy. We heard the heartbeat which was awesome!! Doc said it was in the 160s.

He booked us for our next apt, Feb 1, and also for my 18 week ultrasound to check the body parts as he put it LOL and hopefully be able to tell the gender!! so 4 weeks today we'll hopefully know!!!

Well guess I should get back to work!!

Hope you're all having a great day.

Kim

 

[kgriffin]

wow Kim that is amzing, im so thriled for you, and so happy to hear it went well, nice strong heartbeat, maybe its a girl since the heartbeat is so fast!

glad you have your scan booked! wow, 4 weeks today!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year! I have been reading over Christmas & new year but haven’t had a chance to update.

Joy – what great news that AF arrived in time for you to start TTC again in the new year. I think if all was well you were having IUI either tomorrow or over the next couple of days. I will be thinking of you and praying for you hun! Xx

Jill I am getting a bit of a baby bump now. I think I just look fat but people keep saying I have a bump and look pregnant so will go with it! How about everyone else, are the bumps appearing?

Cecelia – your 4d scan pictures are gorgeous, you must be so pleased with them. Cant wait to hear what sex the baby is after next Tuesday! I reckon Im having a boy but we aren’t finding out so wont know till he/she comes. I have a friend of a friend who is due next weekend and had a low lying placenta so they had told her to prepare for a caesarean but kept doing weekly scans and this week it has moved so she can have a natural birth after all – fingers crossed yours moves.

Joeybrooks I have been having a little peek in 2nd tri recently but haven’t posted yet. I am 14 weeks tomorrow so will officially move and start posting on threads from then – exciting! A third of the way there already

Oh Nic maternity trousers or a bump band is on my list too!! I am usually a size 10 and am in my size 12 trousers already from a few years ago when I was bigger. Its so uncomfortable when your wait is too tight in your skirt/trousers!

Kate – I will be thinking of your Mum tomorrow too. I am pleased she will be able to put this behind her, new year , new start. I hope all goes well. I am so pleased you got to hear the heartbeat, how exciting. I cant wait for my next midwife appoint so I can hear mine!

Kim so pleased you got to hear LO’s heart beat too thats fab. Only 4 weeks till you can find out the gender wow – its all going so quickly now!!

As for me, all good and feeling much better than I was. Having some headaches which is annoying but no sickness anymore and not as tired as I was before.

We have told everyone now and I told my boss yesterday and my team today. I was abit upset though as like I feared I am already being left out of things at work. We always have a meeting on a Wednesday that I have been going to for about 3 months now and my boss asked me to go for my development, however today I didn’t receive the agenda which I thought was odd and my boss just went to the meeting without me – no explanation. DH was very sweet and said its their loss and we have way more to look forward to than a meeting. Hes right but I still feel really upset and will bring it up at my next one to one with my boss. I don’t want to be overlooked for challenges just because Im pregnant!

Anyway ladies have a wonderful week and looking forward to hearing all of your news.
Becky
xx

 

[klsltsp]

Hey ladies

Becky I just wanted to tell you that I've been having headaches too, 3- 4 a week I'm taking Tylenol, regular strength about 1 time per week and only when I can't handle the pain any more. I asked my OB about it today and he said that I should pay attention to my posture and muscles in my neck and upper back that they my body is changing and distributing my weight and such differently.. I told him I'm doing yoga and he said to keep doing that and that during the day (since I have a desk job) to move my gaze and to get up and walk around more than usual to help with my posture.

Oh and he also said lots of massages LOL

Kim

 

[Mrs W 11]

Thanks Kim! I've been trying not to take anything but it's hard. I'm trying to drink loads if water incase I'm dehydrated but then I don't sleep well as I'm up to the loo all night! My sister had them and she said they stopped at 20 wks so fingers crossed for us.

I do have a desk job so will bear that in mind. Thanks

Ps I'll be telling dh about the massages!!!!! X
