Big hugs, stealth x

FloweryBoots · 29/10/2012 21:16

Thinkng of you stealth. Not an easy choice to make. Don't suppose there is anything else to say that can help just now but thinking of you.

StealthToddler · 29/10/2012 21:27

Thanks all. Will call to make an appt tomorrow. Hopefully a lot of fuss about nothing but then there's the risk of mid carrying a healthy bubba.

theTramp · 29/10/2012 21:29

Stealth - I am so sorry to hear that. Horrible, horrible, horrible indeed. Can only say I am thinking of you and your other half and wishing you all the best. And whatever you decide, no matter how hard the decision, it will be what is right for you and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. x

mandasand · 29/10/2012 21:29

Oh Stealth very sorry you've got this uncertainty to deal with. Hope after a couple of days of thinking the decision to have an amnio or not becomes clear. Thinking of you and sending lots of positive thoughts to help you get through this tricky time. Also hugs - lots of hugs.

GummiberryJuice · 29/10/2012 21:32

Oh Stealth thinking of you, not an easy decision to make. Do you have to decide by a certain time?
What about your dh, how does he feel?
Big hugs you know where we are if you need any sounding boards

StealthToddler · 29/10/2012 21:40

Thanks all. I feel if am going to do it I should do it quick as next week I have my aunts funeral (been a really crap week) and I want to put my feet up after the amnio and not do it the same week - would just be too much. And time ticks on....

Em2010 · 29/10/2012 22:41

stealth I'm so so sorry you have to go through this stress. Wishing you and your dh all the best whatever decisions you make x

Rainbowbabyhope · 30/10/2012 09:10

Stealth just wanted to add that you will be in my thoughts today.

Sheldonella · 30/10/2012 09:12

zoeymlucas · 30/10/2012 10:07

So sorry to hear you and DH are going through this at the moment stealth if you need any virtual hand holding we are all here for you as I am sure you know and I do some some limited experience as my best friend went through this and her DH didnt take it well at all, also with my cousin and his wife who had a little boy with Downs

Glad you had your scans Manada and it put your mind at rest - they are clearly just preparing you for double trouble [hgrin]

I was a bit awol yesterday as had still poorly sick and trying to work and stay awake was about all I could manage- I did read everyones posts but my head seemed to be filled with cotten wool so couldnt focus to reply :)

My crib is now in our bedroom all built and I have put my cot bumper in it which looks fab

zoeymlucas · 30/10/2012 11:10

Sorry was mid post but got a phone call saying power was going down and didnt want to lose post so far :)

Cant believe I am 21 weeks tomorrow - roll on christmas and new year and then its the home strtch and daily count down to how far I can get :) My consultant said 2nd Jan min and then daily/ weekly from there depending how I am but I want mid Feb as I just want him to be born and stay with me and come home - it suddenly feels so real now!

pinkpeony4 · 30/10/2012 11:16

Stealth thinking of you. I hope you manage to get an appointment quickly so you can get some answers.

Will catch up properly later. In the midst of builders, house sooo dusty. My poor cleaner is there today fighting a losing battle against dust. Just spent all morning driving around b&q's in S. London. So glamourous!

MrsRigby · 30/10/2012 11:47

Hello, anyone remember me?

OoooOoooOoood · 30/10/2012 11:48

Hello mrsR have you caught up or just skipped a few hundred posts?

backwardpossom · 30/10/2012 11:49

MrsR! How are you doing? We wondered where you'd got to!

I'm full of the cold. And I've jarred my back with coughing and sneezing. Rubbish [hsad]

Sheldonella · 30/10/2012 11:50

Welcome back MrsR!

sundaesundae · 30/10/2012 11:50

MrsR! How the devil are you? How are your horrid lovely neighborinos?

Welcome back into the fold [hsmile]

MrsRigby · 30/10/2012 11:52

Kind of dissapeared and skipped 2 whole threads OoooOoooOoood.

MrsRigby · 30/10/2012 11:55

backwardpossom you poor thing. I had the flu/cold about 2 weeks ago - how do you tell the difference between flu and a cold???

As for how I am, mentally - not good really.

backwardpossom · 30/10/2012 12:02

Sorry to hear that, what's been going on?

Flu would knock you out completely, whereas a cold just makes you feel rubbish but you can still function. I've never actually had full blown flu, but I remember my mum having it when I was young and she couldn't lift her head off the pillow for about a week. She said she'd never felt so ill in all her life and she's had blood transfusions and all sorts, so to say that about the flu must be pretty bad!

MrsRigby · 30/10/2012 12:07

sundaesundae Mrs Perfect is due back from her week long holiday in Greece today. Still as annoyingly perfect as ever. Bitch.

If only she knew the extent of how bad things are in the Rigby household she'd be laughing herself silly.

Actually I think it must be rather clear to everyone how bad things are. I'm not a good actress, we have no nets over the windows and I know you can hear through the walls.

I regrettably informed her that I was pregnant when she came round to gloat about going on holiday (I'm actually not jealous on this occasion as I'm not a holiday person). I say regrettably because as apposed to the 'congratulations' I was expecting she said 'you're not, you idiot'.

I've already had someone who is after my job ask me 'are you happy'.

I'm sure there'll be more of this thanks to Ian Duncan Smith. TWAT. I actually really liked him before that comment.

We've not really told anyone I'm pregnant. Well DH hasn't told anyone, he hasn't even told his family. I can only imagine the comments that will come my way when they do find out. I've told 2 neighbours, DS's nursery and work, though I'm regretting telling work big time. The only people who seem happy, supportive and have offered congratulations are DS's nursery and you guys.

MrsRigby · 30/10/2012 12:09

As this is my last pregnancy, I was adament from the start that I would enjoy and cherish every moment. I haven't really been allowed to and I'm fed up of people bringing me down at such a happy time in my life.

MrsRigby · 30/10/2012 12:12

Oh and, pretty much everyone seems to think that because I have 2 boys, that that means I'm desperate for a girl [hangry] [hangry] [hangry]

So, just so everyone here is clear:

I DO NOT WANT A GIRL. I WILL BE ABSOLUTELY ELATED IF IT IS ANOTHER BOY.
