TooImmature2BDumbledore · 18/10/2011 08:08

Angel, so excited for you - hope all goes smoothly and easily! Are you ready, GILS? Xxxx

shakeyjake · 18/10/2011 09:19

angel good luck for today give GILS a huge hug from me xxxxx

too glad the ammnio wasnt too painful and fx for those results for you.

ciwi glad the scan went ok x

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 18/10/2011 09:19

Hmph. MW was here to listen to heartbeat, got as far as taking my blood pressure and then realised she'd left the doppler behind! She's coming back at lunchtime to do it instead. Bean, this would be a good time for you to practice some kicking. I thought I felt movement last night but I'm not 100% sure.

razzdazz · 18/10/2011 09:23

too really pleased that amnio went well and was not too uncomfortable, you are still in my thoughts as you travel what always seems the slow road to results.......I will be having mine next tuesday. How are you feeling today?
ciwi fantastic news about your doppler and how great that your consultant has such positive views, so very pleased.
mel I had a scan at 6 weeks this time and they could see heart beat so all fingers crossed that you can too.
Cant wait to hear about angels GILS news, I would imagine that she is holding her in her arms now Smile

greenzebra · 18/10/2011 09:38

That is a wonderful thought razz.

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 18/10/2011 12:21

Razz, sorry, I forgot you were still waiting for results! How are you holding up? I have spent the last hour or so panicking. Perhaps staying off work wasn't the smartest plan, but DH will be home for the afternoon to hold my hand. Anyway, I probably wouldn't have coped with work either.

Angel, thinking of you and GILS - I wonder if she's here yet or not?

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 18/10/2011 13:21

MW has just been - heartbeat all present and correct! She kept losing it because Bean was jumping, but she always found it again in a different place, so nothing to worry about. I am reassured by the fact that Bean was wriggling. It must be a good sign!

MelMal · 18/10/2011 14:35

That sounds promising Too. Hope it keeps jumping about and that you're taking it easy!
I'm feeling bad as I'm early shift today and never got a chance to wish Angel good luck. I'm sure that she'll be cuddling into gils as I post this.
Hi to everyone else x

Bluetinkerbell · 18/10/2011 14:52

waaaah panic! our current estate agent just phoned that we have a viewing for our house tomorrow!

We haven't signed our new rental contract yet, as we are still waiting for reference checks to be made...
I just have a worst case scenario vision of being without a house beginning of December...
Tomorrow morning will exist of starting to pack things in boxes already...

Big day today. Angel I am thinking of you and so looking forward to hearing all about it. Come on GILS, you are such a special little girl Smile. Freya is doing really well thank you for asking. She's 8 weeks now and a heavy 10lb11oz She has the most beautiful big gummy grin, especially at nappy change time (likes a clean bum, there's my girl) and a powerful set of lungs that she exercised very thoroughly this morning on the 2 mile walk to the health visitor clinic. Very stressful and made me walk superfast so I could get there and sit down and feed her!

ciwi great news that baby is happy

too lovely to hear Bean is bouncing around in there, can you feel it yet?

I was away this weekend so missed blue's babyloss thread but have since read it and wept. So much waste of so many precious little lives. Too thank you so much for mentioning Bobbie, I was really really touched by that. I think when a baby is lost they can become a taboo and people never mention them (incase they "upset you"... lets not even go there), and so when someone is brave enough to say their name, the name that you long to hear every day, it's overwhelmingly special. Strange that it's strangers on the internet who remember my daughter and so many of my family and friends say nothing, (parents and sister excepted).

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 18/10/2011 16:22

Ohmigod, ohmigod, it's okay! Bean is fine and hasn't got Down's, Edward's or Patau's! The hospital called me about half an hour ago - they said results often come back this quickly but sometimes they have to be rechecked and so they don't want to say it will be this quick in case it isn't. I wasn't even nervous picking up the phone because I didn't expect it to be them. I am so happy! Grin Grin Grin I would be doing cartwheels if I wasn't still supposed to be taking it easy!

spilttheteaagain · 18/10/2011 16:26

GrinGrinGrin!!! Too that is FANTASTIC news Grin Sending you Thanks as you can't have Wine!

CheeseandGherkins · 18/10/2011 16:32

Too that's fantastic news!! I'm soooo pleased for you [hgrin] that must be such a huge weight off your mind [hgrin]

Bluetinkerbell · 18/10/2011 16:35

OH WAW Too SO pleased for you! Wink

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 18/10/2011 16:39

Blue, oh no, that's the sort of news that always makes me panic and start cleaning frantically (house is almost always messy). You won't be left homeless, though, don't worry!

Spilt, glad to hear that Freya is growing big and exerting her authority! I'm glad you liked me mentioning Bobbie's name - I did it in case anyone missed the thread. I nearly missed it myself because I've not been clicking on Chat so often, and I didn't know it was a remembrance day on Saturday (we should get some sort of special notification of these things!). I was just hoping I'd managed to get every name on there and hadn't accidentally missed anyone out.

Still one big beam of joy! I can feel Bean every now and then - I couldn't feel it when s/he was wriggling under the doppler, but I can feel the odd little poke. I think s/he isn't big enough yet for me to feel the squirms, just the kicks.

Bluetinkerbell · 18/10/2011 16:44

jep our house is always messy too Grin it's too small so no place to hide stuff anywhere Wink but we promised each other we would keep the new house tidy! DH is home tomorrow so will tidy up and start packing some things in boxes already!

spilt so happy for you, I just saw the pics of Freya on your profile from when she was first born, she is absolutely gorgeous!

Too are you on FB? there was a big advertising campaign on there for the Remembrance day. But of course if you don't know many people who would have known about it, it would have been difficult to find out!
