Hi everyone
I don't pop in here very often but glad I did & thanks for the invite ! I wasn't sure if it was a thread for baby's already born only but seems not, in fact I don't even know what RSGG is but it doesn't really matter !!

It seems like a great place to be now that I'm beginning to ask myself/friends/doc some of the questions about what to do when baby actually arrives ! Never really thought I'd get to that point but seems it's getting closer.

Anyway, it's nice to be amongst 'old' friends - I will need to take a look back to see how your little cherubs are faring and post with personals again soon.

AFM, scan went great, as I've said elsewhere, all is growing nicely, with ten little fingers, ten little toes & one little ..... willy ! It's a little boy for us ! Somehow the morph scan has made it so much more real & I have finally started having movement as my placenta is anterior so cushioned me for a while. The sweetest gentle little pushes and jabs ....

All is going as well as we'd hoped except that over the weekend I suddenly got a pinched nerve, or sciatica, not entirely sure. OB classified it more generally as a back issue, but told me to rest for two days as he's seen some terrible cases. I was going quite well with personal training once a week, prenatal yoga etc. but bammo! It just hit me after yoga on Saturday. Anyway, hopefully with some pain management it will come good.

Great to see of your progress everyone, back soon !

Uggh, I hate it when you loose your post. Anyway;

Yey Liltuss, - Glad you could join us. You are definaltely an RSGG grad. (ready set go girls ). But as you know there are a few groups that we got support and inspiration from through our AC "journey", so all are welcome.

If you have any questions, go ahead and ask. We will let you know what has and haven't worked for us so far.

So glad your morph scan went well, that is when I started to relax and really enjoy my pregnancy. I hope it's the same for you. And congrats on your little willy, he he... My Ob used to point out Lachlans 'junk' every visit. Almost as if it was the first time we'd seen it each time. It was good though - It made me giggle.

Sorry about the pinched nerve. I hope it frees up soon. Take all the prescribed rest, and more, you will appreciate it.

Oops, - got to go. Bub has woken. Have a great day everyone. I'll be back soon.

Luci...

Hi Girls,

Hope all is well, and you are all having a great Easter weekend.



It won't be long before some of our little ones will be off on their own easter egg hunts.

Cheers, Luci...

[First One]

Hi Ladies, Happy Easter!



Liltuss, so glad you're ducking in here Massive congrats on having a boy too! The morph scan does certainly make it more real - seeing a little person and knowing the sex start to really click in your head that you're having a baby! I still look at Taylor and think wow!

Certainly go ahead and ask anything - it's amazing how fast you learn when bubs is actually here but being a little prepared makes it easier!


Ards, how are you going with Noah?

Hope everyone is well.

AFM: Crusing along...Taylor is very easy to have around - waaaaay too much time wasting with her though - her smiles and laughs and giggles are just too gorgeous so not alot of work gets done! But I don't care! She's amazing!

She has got her legs working for crawling but can't quite keep up with her arms yet although she's not far off. She's also figured out sitting up by herself now - that's taken a while to sort out the side to side balance!

She's also taken to her solids like a duck to water - LOVES pumpkin and pears, carrots and apples coming second... If anyone has any thoughts on convincing her to shut up though while eating.... I think she just likes to tell us how much she's enjoying it!

Anyway, best go, it's my time now She's in bed for the night and I can hear a book calling to me while DH makes dinner....ahhhhh, bliss!

Hi all,

Will be back later for a proper reply - stuffed right now as James woke at 3.20am and after 40 mins of trying to settle him in the cot realised his nappy had come undone and his sleeping bag was soaked. Poor little bugger. So a bottle then back to bed but of course by then I couldn't sleep. Arrgghh!

Liltuss, glad your scan went well.

First One, sounds like Taylor's doing really well.

Luci, happy (belated) Easter to you too. Call me a bad parent if you want but James had his first Easter egg, though he was much more interested the pretty foil than the chocolate anyway.

BBL for more personals.

Hi Ladies,
Just quickly jumping on to say Hi!

How time is flying.

Miss M is now almost 6 months old I wish time would stand still sometimes.
We are just starting to gets some signs of teeth with a few unsettles days/nights etc.
She is lots of fun though and very good, making things easy for me.

Sounds like all your beautiful bubbas are doing well and growing so fast!

Hope you all had a lovely Easter break!

Hi Girls,

Lotusflower, - The dreaded teeth , - Ah, but they are so cute when they smile with a couple of little teeth. Glad that Miss M is being so divine! LOL - hmmm, - bad joke

Mickey, - Ah, you poor things, don't you hate it when you say to your bub, "it's O.K, you can go back to sleep now", and he's basically yelling back to you, "No it's not, I'm soaked!" or whatever. Argh - when you finally realise ...
It doesn't sound like a night feed isn't the norm for James anymore. I can't seem to drop his night feed yet, he gets genuinely hungry most nights. But that's o.k. I guess, now that he feeds, changed, and back to sleep within 30-40mins.

FirstOne, - No thoughts on getting her to be quiet while she's eating. It sounds cute though! Pear is Lachlans very favourite too.

Liltuss, - Hope your back is feeling better. How are the kicks going, - Getting Stronger? Did your OB say that your placenta might move around, or is it more likely to stay put?

Ards, - Hope you both are really well. I'll check your blog when I'm done here, to see if there are any updates.

Big Hello to CanberraKat, Bree, and Kitty. Hope you had a nice Easter.

AFM, - Had our first 1st birthday party at mothers group this week. The bubs had a great time, especially getting their hands, and everything else, into the birthday cake, LOL. A few months gap now till the next birthday, then they'll be lots.

Cheers, Luci...

Hi everyone - I'm back again.

Liltuss, I can't believe you're 22 weeks already. You'll be third trimester before you know it. Hope everything is going well.

Luci, I hear you on the first birthday thing. Our first mums group one is early mid-May and then the rush is on for a couple of months. I think James will be third last in the group. Hope Lachlan is going well.

Lotus, they grow up so quickly, don't they? Hope the teething goes smoothly for you. James' first two were the worst. Others since then have been easier.

First One, they certainly are big time wasters. I could spend all day just playing with James. Glad to hear Taylor has taken to solids well. No suggestions for the keeping her quiet while eating. I agree, she's probably just enjoying it so much.

Big hello to Ards, Bree, Kitty, Kat and anyone else I've forgotten.

Well, 9 months now. My little boy is growing up . He was 9.6kg and 73cms at his 9 month check last week. A huge jump in his weight especially (from about 10th percentile at 6 months to over 50th at 9 months). He has 6 teeth now (2 on the bottom, 4 on top) and can pull himself to standing on the furniture (or the baby gate, or me, anything really). Problem is he still working on getting back down without hurting or scaring himself so I'm having to watch him pretty closely and can't leave him alone for too long. It's almost like having a newborn again! Feeding is going great, sleeping pretty good - usually wakes between 4 and 5am, has a bottle then back to bed for an hour or two. He is very cheeky and certainly has a stubborn streak (DH and I argue over who he gets it from - which probably says enough, lol).

Anyway, will get going for now. Will check back in again soon.

Mickey

Hello former RSGGers! I popped in here when I first got my BFP but thought it was for RSGGs with babies already

Thought I'd just say hi and it's great to see some familiar names. Will take me a while to read back through the posts but hope everyone is doing well.

I am now almost 31 weeks' pg, I haven't really spent a lot of time on any of the forums in here but now that the birth is getting closer I'd really love the support and distraction that I'm sure you girls can give! Going through AC is something many people don't understand so knowing you've all been in the same boat is calming and encouraging

All is going well for me, which is obviously a relief after IVF - after 6 weeks of morning sickness I've had a pretty uneventful pregnancy and hoping the birth will be the same! Liltuss - congrats on your little boy, we are having a little boy too! Or so the "mooning" shot he lovingly gave us at the morph scan showed

I will write more when I've had a chance to get a handle on where everyone is at, and hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Hi Ange! I remember you. Glad to hear things are going well - boring is definitely good when it comes to pregnancy. And congrats on having a little boy. I think the boys are well and truly taking over in this group, lol.
