aurora - what a kool pic.. haha.. the one with the dog (who if i ever met would scare the daylights out of me).. your bump is wonderful!

Nothing new with me.. the funniest thing happened thou.. Last night I was sooo sleepy and in bed & the baby kept moving around for a hour easy, kicking and the works.. finally baby went to sleep & then this morning when the 1st alarm went off (my DH keeps 3 alarms which go off every 5mins in the morning in random corners of the room cuz he has trouble waking up), Pandu starts kicking .. This baby is not letting me sleep.. so I tell DH "well atleast someone woke up with the first alarm" hahah
I have my In-laws coming in from overseas tomorrow for 2 weeks.. so i might not pop in that much..

This is a pic of my bump

Hey girls,
I just wanted to drop by and say hi, lovely bump pics.

2016 what happend to our team Aphrodite TTC thread? it seems to have been deleted...I think they did some repair work on the site and now its gone

Anyway, went for my HSG today, everything is perfect, and I am good to go for my IUI this week Wish me luck ladies.

talk soon

Hey Britt... you need to go back to TTC Buddies, but click Groups and you will still see our TTC thread there. But yeah, I had a shock too yesterday when it was not on my subscribed list.

Sorry to all of you other ladies for hijacking your thread (now you know that I am a frequent stalker!) Love the bump pics!

Hey ladies!

What beautiful beautiful bumps!!! Devi and MM, I love the bump series, they're wonderful! You're both so tiny, but it's so warming to see your bumps growing nicely. Hibiscus - your bump is such a nice round shape, you're so lucky! Aurora - your bump and dog are so cute - I love Alsatians!

ClaireNicole and GG - any new bump pics?

Britt - that's awesome that your HSG went well, so everything came back clear?

Chia - I've dropped you a message about meeting up this weekend - woop woop!

Sorry for my radio silence, I've been off work the last couple of days and unable to sit at my desk...because beleive it or not, I can hardly walk. The pain in my lower back got so bad, that DH had to carry me from the bathroom to the bedroom. We went to see a spinal specialist, and he said that my right sciatic has loosened so much that it has virtually become dislocated, and inflammed. It even causes me pain to sit on a toilet seat. There is no medication I can take and physio 'might' help, but it is unlikely. The only thing I can do is rest - I'm on crutches now, which is mighty depressing - I'm used to being really active and have still been goin to the gym, swimming and pilates, and I just have to stop now, and try to baby my back and hip. Walking on crutches in Hong Kong is so impossible - it's a terrible place for people with a handicap, everywhere is stairs, and the people are so rude, they'll happily knock you over - it's like NY city, but with really rude people! DH nearly hit a guy the other day for barging past me through a door at a mall which I had opened, he practically knocked me over. To top it all off - the spinal specialist said that he wouldn't be surprised if my pelvic bone became dislocated during labour <sigh> Anyways - I'm so sorry for the moan and rant, I hate complaining, but I really am upset about this. The irony - no morning sickness, but I get this instead! Oh well, it will all be worth it in the end!

oh no joli im so sorry ur having to deal with that is sounds aweful!! il post a bump pic i took last week in my journal

ee im so excited our room just been upgraded to bridal suite free of charge we only live 10 minutes walk from the hotel but really didnt want to come home on the wedding day!! mw app was gd today we heard hb before monkey went and hid again he/she really doesnt like dopplers! x

 

[hibiscus07]

Aww, Joli, I'm sorry to hear that. This is entirely related to the pregnancy??

MM: I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. That's so sad. There's probably nothing anyone could say to console her

Devi, Aurora, and MM: Your bumps look great!


As for me, I'm feeling the baby move a LOT this week. Yay! We got our AFP results from 16 weeks. It was normal, which apparently means low risk for spina bifida, cleft palate, Down's Syndrome, and maybe something else?
I'm sooo freaking tired, it's frustrating. I've been sleeping many hours a night and I still can't peel myself out of bed on time for work. I've been getting in to the office between 930-10. Embarrassing!

 

[Devi#1]

Joli - sooo sorry abt that pain.. didnt think it would get so bad that u would have to get on crutches.. take care of yourself.. hugs

a few weeks ago i think cant remember

 

[Joli]

Hey Hibiscus - yup, it is entirely related to the pregnancy!! I thought it might have something to do with my herniated disc in my lower back, but apparently this has nothing to do with the spine itself, it's the joint between the hip, the spine and the leg. That's awesome that you can feel the baby! What does it feel like? Sometimes I think I feel a little flutter, but then I wonder if I'm just imagining things cause it never comes back! Fantastic that all your tests came back clear! You must feel such relief!

Devi - thanks for the kind words, I had no idea I would end up in crutches, I'm only hoping I don't get bed bound!

GG - that's awesome that you got upgraded!! We stayed in a hotel honeymoon suite about 20 mins away from home as well on our wedding night - it makes such a difference, and much more special off an end to such a special night! x

 

[Joli]

GG - you can totally see your bump growing!!!! How fantastic!!! - thanks for sharing!

 

[GossipGirly]

im a bit fat lol x

 

[MommyMichele]

GG ya are not, hush!

Joli, have hubby go and get you a soft toilet seat, and try a heating pad hun, you can use one in pregnancy.

Update on my friend Brandi, she's not doing the greatest, so keep the prayers coming. As of this morning she has pneumonia and a partially collapsed lung. Dr's have her on all kinds of meds to help her right now. Baby Evan's funeral service is being delayed a bit so she can be there AND through all the donations coming in, the funeral expenses have been covered 100%. Emotionally she's ok for the most part considering. A local group of moms who've had stillborns has been visiting with her, she looks forward to the visits. Her family is still with her and the church has been sending help to the house.

As for me, I'm under some stress. Between Brandi's loss, the BS that I'm going through with the city, the stress of the house not being cleaned, and no motivation, I just can't function right now. I have no desire to. It's just all too much. DH has the day off, so he's going to help me out with the house later today and tomorrow, hopefully we can catch up and I won't feel so overwhelmed.

Gender scan is a week from tomorrow and I think maybe that has me stressed a bit, I dunno. I want to get all the shopping done ASAP but DH and I agree that until we know what the baby actually is, we're not doing any shopping. THAT I want to get done and out of the way. I don't feel I have enough time and this is going by WAY TOO FAST!!! OMG 20 weeks come Sunday.

I feel like a nervous first time mommy!

 

[Joli]

Hey MM - thanks for the suggestion on the heat pad! Soft toilet seat...hmm... I might have to look for one online, I doubt they have that sort of thing here! I'm so sorry about Brandi - as if it wasn't traumatising enough to lose baby Evan, for her to be going through this much suffering right now. It pales in comparison to all of our aches and pains doesn't it? I'm so glad that she seems to be getting support. How exciting that you will have your gender scan soon!! I have a scan in about 15mins, so looking forward to seeing baby!

 

[ClaireNicole]

Sorry I've been awayish! I really have been here reading but just felt so crappy I didn't feel like responding! But NOW I CAN BREATH OUT A NOSTRIL AGAIN!!! Just one... but thats better then the NONE i could breath outta for the last few days... i've been miserable!

 

[hibiscus07]

Hi All!
Just stopping by to complain
My tailbone is killing me, and I'm having all sorts of aches and pains that I assume are related to round ligament pain. Argh! I'm sure it's normal but not fun. I'm getting pains in my hips, pelvis, and even a couple in the groin and general region of the ol "ladybits". I think it's time for me to head back to the gym and/or sign up for a prenatal yoga class.

Anything new 'round here? It's been quiet!

 

[MommyMichele]

Just been cooking all day, trying to relax here.

 

[ClaireNicole]

Cooking?!?! ewww lol I'm gonna have to start doing that again! Were going out for steaks tonight and then to Iron man 2!

 

[MommyMichele]

I love to cook, I cook from scratch nearly everyday.

I'm not up to posting right now. 2 more ladies I know have lost their babies, and that's not including the ones here. This isn't helping my depression.

 

[Devi#1]

I am sooo tired!! eish.. In laws are here - and I am constantly on my toes..

MM - even I love cooking from scratch 3 meals a day.. I hope to go to culinary school one day ( my passion in life ) ..
