Hi ladies, I'm so sorry I've been completely absent - I joined the FB group and haven't really looked back sad.gif Glad to hear you're doing well! We're having a little boy, have morphology scan on Tuesday but found out earlier due to a crappy GP freaking me out when he couldn't find a heart beat and sending me for an emergency ultrasound. Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi and wish you girls all the best. Really hope you can join us on FB soon, it's an amazingly supportive group with no judgement or b**chiness and I don't think I'd get by without them all. Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancies if I don't see you there xx

Far out Indigo that would have been so scary! Im so glad everything went ok, lucky you did get that ambulance!!!

Kay1 glad your feeling better.

August is defenitely the month for baby boys!! Makes me more sure thats what im having!!

Not much happening with me the last few days, have started feeling nice strong kicks, which makes me very happy!! Its so hard not to stress when you cant feel anyting, not knowing if bub is ok in there!! Im now 20 weeks!! HALF WAY!!!! so exciting, i still having brought anything for this baby, feel a bit bad that it will hardly get any of its own new things. Just need to order the capsule that i didn't get for DS and have decided its a must have this time and the second seat for the pram!!! And pick up a lay-buy that has a new bed for DS and carseat.

Heading to the pool today with DS and my pregnant friend and then off to vote.. errr!!!!
Have a lovely weekend.

I'm another one who has been completely slack and who has disappeared to the FB group. sad.gif

We are having a little girl and so I have gone nuts buying little dresses and things and they are now all in the wash together and will be exceedingly cute when hung out to dry.

Remember my scare? The bleeding stopped at the end of week 16 (so a month of bleeding, ick) and it may start again at some point because I have a marginal placenta previa but for now everything is well and she is going really well, being in the 95th centile for growth, and as she was 450g at 20 weeks, I believe she will be over half a kilogram now, so just powering along. original.gif

The kicking is nice, I wish she would do it more often, but it is nice to know that she is there.

Anyway, I should come back to this group again, it is great to hear what you are all up to! I'm going to go and hang out the teeny clothes and take a photo when I'm done. original.gif

Mum to two boys!! :O
Jane - I am just a little jealous that you get to wash pink and frilly things.laughing2.gif I always thought I'd have a daughter but just goes to show you don't know what life has in store for you - I adore my boys and love this little one to pieces already and its definitely the last baby for us so I am adjusting to my new reality. original.gif Boy bits everywhere I turn LOL!! Glad to hear your little girl is doing so well. original.gif

Suniti - I'm glad the FB group is going so well. I'm tempted to join but just can't afford any more time wastage LOL.

bubba13 - Its great being able to feel baby isn't it?? original.gif DH felt him today for the first time.

Ta Da!
DecafJane Congrats on a little girl! Enjoy washing all the little pink frilly clothes!
Hope the placenta moves out of the way and you get no more bleeding.

bubba13 enjoy the kicks, they are wonderful! We haven't really bought much for this bub. I ordered a few MCN's and picked up a onesie on the weekend but thats it. Need to sort out new car seats for DD but don't even know where to start!

sunti congrats on a little boy!

Inigo What a scare! Luckily the ambulance was called! Glad all is well now, hope your recovery is going well. Take it easy!

Kay Glad you are feeling a bit better. Hope you DH has recovered from man flu!

AFM extended family has been made aware, didn't really announce it just went to my brothers wedding and it was obvious. Mum got a few questions but just passed it all off as a second baby thing so thankfully we don't have to explain why we waited so long to tell everyone.

DD was flower girl and did an amazing job. We were a bit concerned she wasnt going to walk down the aisle but she went with me which was ok. She was just so excited. She made us so proud wub.gif

DH felt bub kick on Sunday night too! Yay original.gif
Big scan in a few days!! I wish it was Friday already!!

Hi everyone

I have been reading but not posting for a while - after my NT result I was a bit stressy about everything so didn't want to spoil the happy vibe. Anyway, I've made it to the 20 week scan, all is well and it is definitely a boy! It is great finally feeling a bit more relaxed about the whole thing. I also suddenly look very pregnant, can't believe how quickly I went from looking like I had a big meal to it being super obvious.

Glad everyone is doing well, though sounds like there have been a few dramas. So glad it all turned out well Indigo and suniti, how frightening for you both!

Hi girls

These chat threads have slowed down lately so I am thinking that we will combine the groups again as the Parents Group you move to (and the FB group you have) are/will be combined anyway.

Regards

Ali

Just quickly from me

We had the 19 week scan on Friday and it went brilliantly!! We have a perfect healthy baby on board. Still measuring ahead but its got all the right bits in the right spots. Bub was a bit uncooperative, just like DD always was but we got there in the end with A LOT of poking and prodding (ouch!).
Gender is still a surprise! I really thought one of us would cave and find out but we remained strong! The sonographer didn't give anything away (if he even noticed?) and kept well clear of any potty shots so we don't even have an inkling!

DH and I have worked out my maternity leave so I really should tell work... I promise to tell work before the end of the week...

Seeing the OB this arvo so will hopefully get another peek at bubby.

Hope everyone is well
