Welcome to our new home! :)

Ok, been seen. Doctor says its either - MC (but thinks its unlikely) or another Blardy UTI! Got a script for antibiotics and urine sample sent off but he's referred me to EPAU for early scan so waiting for them for them to call.

oh faith i've been busy and missed this. sending positive energy to help keep you calm.

Thanks queenie, well all of you. Have started the antibiotics and am home chilling on the sofa. Spotting seems to have stopped. OOH doc has rung having spoken to the gynae reg and is happy with management plan. I assume I'm still waiting for a call from the EPAU for a scan but they're only open til 6 so it might be tomorrow.

So MSB rang the gynae ward who cover early pregnancy at weekends. The OOH doc was talking crap or maybe misleading not quite accurate. They don't scan on the weekend so it'd be Monday at the earliest, which leaves me in a dilemma since I'm meant to be working 7-7.30, my first day back. MSB and I have agreed we will see how I'm feeling - if the spotting continues or gets worse, I'll call in sick. If it settles and I improve on the antibiotics, I'll go in but explain I may have to leave. My head is screwed!

Oh that's so annoying they won't scan at the weekend. Sending oodles of luff and good thoughts in your direction. Given the previous UTIs it's maybe hopeful that that's the cause.

Yes, the doc seemed pretty certain it wasn't an MC and was UTI related, I'm holding on to that. We are keeping ourselves busy. I've started doing a cross stitch of Tigger :)

Oh that is very adorable of you. Hope the spotting has lessened now and glad you are home. Good work Faith's sister.

My little sister threw me a baby tea party today. I didn't want a shower as it seemed a bit grabby but she luffs organising parties so it seemed rude to refuse! Lots of games and nice scones. She is a sweetie.

Well knicker check revealed still spotting but its not got worse, maybe a bit lighter so I'm trying not to worry too much. Going to eat comfort food (chunky chicken and jacket!) to line my stomach so I can have another antibiotic.

Aw that's luffly! A tea party :) No I don't think I'd want a shower either but a tea party sounds very civilised!

It was nice, just a few friends and mums.

Glad the spotting is easing, just rest up. Work etc doesn't matter - if you have to rearrange, so be it. You are the most important thing and your bean!

How are you today Faife?

Spotting appears to have stopped overnight so fairly confident doc was right. Will have a chilled out day but try and make it to church this morning.

Phew! I had a good dream that it had so I am relieved it was right.

:) dreaming about me?! How sweet! Yes, phew indeed.

I have had several dreams about the ESH, is that weird? I guess it is a bit.

Feel really off and anxious today. I don't think I should have parties, I just spend the next few days worrying that I said the wrong thing to people. Not helped by the fact that my mum had a go at me for not seeming grateful enough to my sister. Which I was. I obviously don't express things very well when I am feeling anxious.

I've been away and missed all the drama - really glad to see you're in good spirits Faife. I'm so sorry you've had to go through a stressful 48 hours and that the whole UTI issue is still such a bugger.

The tea party sounds lovely! (And now I want some scones!) Being one of those dirty Americans, I would never consider a baby shower to be 'grabby' but I understand that it's different over here (& on MN), so it sounds like your sister found a wonderful way to celebrate your pregnancy (which, in the US, is what showers are about anyway!)

With the bad rep showers get on MN, it's funny that in all my many, many years I've never been to a US wedding or baby shower where people play games though...we sit around chatting and drinking champagne or tea! And many of the showers I've gone to include partners. It's really just a social occasion to celebrate!

I am finding that I am doing a lot of sleep talking. I seem to be having very vivid dreams and and then waking up sitting up in bed and talking. I actually shook The Mister awake last night. I was really distressed and sleep talking. My poor Mister didn't quite know what to do!

Glad you are feeling better today faith. Fingers crossed. X

Yeah I guess it's funny LP, we're happy to do hen nights and so on but baby showers are still seen as a bit of an oddity. Maybe it's the term shower? I've only been to one other and that was a dinner and chat.

My sis looks after children for a living and all her parties have games or themes, she's famous for it and if you come to one of her bday parties you know there will be Pictionary involved somewhere! I am a ball of anxiety and embarrassment most of the time, I'm sure I'd be a lot happier if I just let go a bit. Hope I don't pass it on to the baybee...

Scones were luffly. Ginger ones. Yum.

I actually LOVE games! (Pictionary being a particular favourite.) I'd get on well with your sister!

I've been having weird dreams, too. Most of them are really really sexual - in very strange ways. Not sure what that's all about. And the other night I had a really sad dream where I woke myself up crying!

Pictionary is very fun. She even had a quiz at her wedding which was good too. And Father Christmas came!

Where did you go to LP? sorry if you've said, I can't remember.

I'm reassured that the screaming in your sleep thing is normal. Not so reassured that it continues for so long!

I luff games too. Such fun! I guess in Britain you get gifts for a wedding but we wouldn't have a shower beforehand, same we wouldn't throw a shower to get stuff for a baybee.

We made it to church. I'm glad we did. We sent up some pretty heartfelt prayers yesterday! MSB was keeping a baybee entertained. After a point the baybee kept looking at him expectantly like come on, keep entertaining me! it was very cute :)

We had board games on the tables at our wedding.

My cousin Stef and I are lying on the sofas catching up on last nights x-factor. What's everyone else up to?

So glad to read you're doing better Faith -scary stuff. Will you get a scan on Monday instead now?

I luff board games too -am a bit of a board game geek actually My brother and I often play intricate strategy game-style thingys whenever we meet at Christmas and holidays -it's a sibling bonding thing.

I'm finding it harder and harder to sleep -last night I was lying wide awake for hours before I finally calmed down. I wonder if it is some subconscious restlessness or summat. I feel ok and prepared, but I'm sure there are tons of weird emotions going on at some deeper level. 39 weeks today...

Wow cake not long to go. Are you doing any pineapple shagging or just waiting to see what happens?

I am in a bit of a blue funk today. Anxiety, tears etc.

Pineapple, raspberry leaf tea, spicy food and walking, yes. Shagging, not so much. I am the walrus. But might give it a go if we get desperate in a few weeks' time.

Hope you feel better soon blondie. Your emotions just go overboard towards the end I think (well, technically the go overboard throughout the whole damn pregnancy...). You'll be there soon -just a few more weeks until you get to meet your baybee! :)

I don't know re the scan. I'm rota'd on at work so I'm going to go in but tell my boss about everything. My ward is close to the mat wing do I may just have to leave. If they say Tuesday it'll be fine because I'll be day off.

cake 39 weeks! Poke that baybee out! Do you have a burfing plan? Sorry you haven't been sleeping well. Guess your brain won't switch off?

blonde would you like a cuddle with the cod of comfort? The BESH gave it to me but I'm happy to pass it on!

Have you guys ever played Rat race? It's the favourite game in our house. Made by Wadfingtons who did monopoly. Never got as famous as monopoly but we like it because even if you go bust you can start again! There's always an outright winner too. you can get it quite cheaply on eBay :)
