Hi All,
Hope your all Ok, beans and babies alike.
Knax, how scary for you - keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be a big day for both of us - fingers crossed for good news for each!! I wonder if you are just going to be one of those people that's prone to bleeding throughout your PG. My Mum had 5 children and with 2 of us, she bled virtually every 6 weeks throughout her pregnancies and we were all big healthy babies and luckily were all healthy children. Although I'm sure that's because they didn't have antiseptic kitchen sprays and we were allowed to eat mud and worms and chew our lead-painted cots!! There's a lot to be said for the squeaky clean environments we live in today I think. I won't say try not to worry, because I absolutely know, like me, that you will... But keeping everything crossed for you.
BSOB, sorry that you're having a bad time at work. I had that exact scenario a couple of weeks ago. A woman who had requested a Voluntary Redundancy quote came back through one of my business team with some questions. Which made me cross because the answers were clearly stated in her letter that she's already received, so I sent a polite note back (again through the same person in my business team) advising that she read the letter thoroughly. The member of my business team sent back a note to the woman, apologising for how "unhelpful" my answer was. Unfortunately for her, sent it to me by mistake. It didn't take long for the apology to come through I can tell you!! It's horrible when things like that happen and you have to witness it. Poor you. Hope things go OK at the Doctors.
MJIM, having not had any children yet, but having already put on about 9lbs in weight and I'm only 13 weeks, I can understand why you may feel upset. But it's very early days isn't it? Please don't worry too much...
Ceebee, I'm so glad that Sam is getting better. It's lovely to have a contented, happy baby. I remember when my niece Tianey was born, she didn't used to cry when she woke up from when she could smile. I'd never witnessed it before, but she just used to wake up and just sit and listen to everything going on around her and would just smile at you. She actually used to make me jump. She'd be fast asleep and then I'd just turn to look at her and she'd be smiling at me. So sweet!!
Daisy, hello hun, so glad to have you back!! Your flat sounds lovely, maybe you could take some pics of that aswell!! I'm sure you're not huge, I'm sure you'll be fine! I look 5 months already and I'm only 13 weeks - now THAT'S huge!! We still haven't moved house - looks like it's going to be the week before Xmas - talk about last minute!!
Dawni - hope you're Ok today hun and managed to polish off those Matchmakers!! Mmmm, Matchmakers - orange ones for me because they take me back to my childhood!!
Frosty - how are you today hun? Did you get all your wrapping done? All our Xmas presents are packed so if we don't move the week before Xmas as expected, we may well be unpacking everything again!! We can't even put a tree up because we have no room with all the boxes stacked to the ceiling in the lounge. DH did manage to find the advent calendars though - well, most of the them - we couldn't find Tilly's (the dog's) so she's having to share the cat's. My experiment has proved that Catnip has no effect on dogs whatsoever!!
Majormoo, thanks for all your support hun. I'm keeping everything firmly crossed at the moment, as are my family and DHs. There haven't been any babies born on DHs side of the famiy for 10 years so everyone is very excited for us and praying for the best. I saw something on line yesterday that said that if a nasal bone is visible at a 13 week scan, it is unlikely that the baby has Downs. But now I'm worried that maybe the nasal bone wasn't visible. But surely the Sonographer wouldn't have mentioned it being there if it wasn't would she?
Juanitad, hi Hun, thanks for your kind thoughts!
Mandy, thank you so much for all your support. You've given me so much hope and your strength is a real inspiration to me. I think this is probably the scariest time of my life....
CE, thanks for all your thoughts hun. I think next time tomorrow I'll struggle to eat breakfast because I'll be so nervous!!
Phew - sorry about the mammoth post but I just wanted to thank everyone individually for all your support. It means so much and you're all the first people I think of writing to as soon as I hear anything positive or negative. I know that you'll all understand.
I do apologise though if I've missed anyone! I'm back to work today so I need to get on with it - I'm dreading how many messages I've got in my Inbox!!
