Due Jan 2009!!!

Can't entirely blame George for my lack of sleep. Gracie often wakes me as well, along with the dogs. He is still getting up at least once a night though. I can lend him to you for a little while if you like Shelt

Hehe Sonia, I might have taken you up on that offer if I lived a little closer. Though I do remember the sleepless nights all too well. No rose coloured glasses for me here!

Yeah Kel I did but since they have no idea why Gabrielle was prem they really have no clue. They just said that I would have to be checked by an ob next time to see if I would be classed as high risk. Fat lot of good it did me last time though, I was very well monitored all the way along due to blood pressure issues (too high and then too low and then too high again) and at one stage they thought my kidneys and/or liver were failing (they weren't) and they still didn't pick up on the prem labour. Though possibily a bit my fault - I lost my mucous plug at 32 weeks and had contractions all the way through that week and the next before my waters broke at 33w5d. I didn't tell my midwife coz I hadn't had Braxton Hicks and I thought that was what they were even though they took my breath away and were regular pains. My midwife's theory was that I didn't have much space between the top of my hips and the bottom of my rib cage and the baby was growth restricted, and that combined with the severe odemia and blood pressure problems caused prem labour. Dunno what that means for the next one though (if there is ever another one).

Hope you two managed to get some sleep last night and had a good weekend.

Having a bit of a stressed out weekend, apparently this baby isn't growing well now and I have to go for a scan on Monday. Trying not to worry but the weekend seems so long!

Yep I'm free I think on sunday?? Got mw saturday but sunday should be free.

Oh no Genie! Maybe your fluids are low? are you drinking enough water? Cross fingers all your monitoring will come back totally fine!

Well had the scan today, feels like it was quite a waste of time. For a start it was a male sonographer..I hate male sonographers, they tell you next to nothing and then you have to quiz them to get that much! So baby is within normal range, estimated at 7pound 1 but..get this..he said they can be up to 18 ounces out either way!!!!! WTF?? That makes it mean nothing! Anyway overall I'm reassured I guess, see mw again tomorrow so will see what she says. By his comments though I think I trust what she says just by feeling baby than what he says could be 18oz out. Gave dh and I a bit of a laugh when I got home and told him anyway lol

Sunday morning all good. Happy if you just want to come here otherwise am happy to meet up somewhere else. Not sure what the weather is meant to be doing.

It is amazing just how out the scans can be isn't it! Glad it went well though Genie.

I will have to do my housework!!! Bout 10ish sound okay with everyone??? I will make sure I have baked for morning tea as well.

Shelt - you blackboard is all ready for you as well.

Cool, so Sunday at 10 at your house Sonia? What number are you again? I remember the road, just not the number. And yay new blackboard, Gabrielle will be stoked

Around 12 days over :(

You rock for baking I'm still lacking motivation in that area

Oh no Genie! So ages away!
