March 2013 babies

Oh poor you Gapling, but as Waterbaby says, there are plenty of healthy babies born to women who smoke and drink the whole way through!

AFM, my MS has not been great the last two days. Luckily I am not working or not sure how I would have coped. I haven't actually thrown up as yet, but the feeling of not being able to move off the couch incase I do is bad enough!

Just feel like blobbing today too, but have some work to do, and really need to go do some shopping!

finally got a call from my new MW, i was working. so we're currently playing phone tag. how exciting haha
yeah i knew you had to book those 12 week ones yourself, DEFINITELY look around before going to a place. some are cheaper and actually nicer (the one i'm gonig to go to is anyway). Just need all the forms and stuff so hopefully can have an appointment soon!

whole weekend off again. not getting many hours at work but i'm secretly relieved because i'm sooo exhausted.

Yay for the MW appt jessicajanea! I just had to reschedule mine cos of my due date change!

Yeah some places are nicer for scans! I went to Horizon with DD but went to Auckland Radiology for her first one, that one cost $20 and they gave me an xray style print instead of a normal one which is annoying for scrapbooking lol.
When I went into have the dating scan, I got a bit of a fright, one of the Mums of one of my Brownies was the receptionist!! Luckily shes a really lovely one! I compented that I really liked the radiographer I got and did't so much like the other guy and she said she'll make sure I always get a good one.. yay!

Just had a 2 hour nap and still feel yuck :(

Oops. Hi everyone. I'm a bit late to the party. I'm almost 10 weeks with my first, due on the 16th of March. Pretty excited. I wish it would just be March already though.

Welcome Bingy!

Keeping fingers crossed for you Gapling!

Wow Gapling, its great that your levels are going up. Good luck for your scan tomorrow. Will be keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!

Welcome Bingy! My DP and I say the same thing. Wish we could fast forward to March! It seems like a long wait, but I'm pretty sure the time will fly by!

gapling- so good to hear about your levels, sounds very promising. Im glad Taut is accomodating you situation! Cant believe hes still there.

good luck to all the ladies going to scans and MW appointments in the coming days ahead.

We told my step children today. Step sons reaction..."really OMG is there really a baby in there", and then at bed time he kissed my belly and said to the baby "p.s i love you". Was so uber cute!

My step daughter is a whole nother kettle of fish. She literally walked out of the room and spent the rest of the evening moping around and crying...girls have way more emotions than boys do that is for real!

We are hoping she will come around to the idea. All we can do is reassure her that our feelings for her will not change...their mum just had a baby, and she has told me that my step daughter gave her the exact same response but now that baby has arrived she is in absolute admoration. FX Its also a big deal for her, 2 new sibblings whithin a year!

Keolyn- mmmmm potatoes
...my step kids are 9 and 10yrs. They were 4 and 5 when i met my husband, so ive spent a good half their life with them. My step daughter does not like any "New comers"...i suspect she will adore this one once she sees him/her though. FX

Gapling good luck for your scan today, HCG's look positive so fingers crossed you have some good news to share with us.

Keolyn, my 12week scan will be at Insight Radiology in Takapuna. Perhaps because I use and OB this is why I am going through a "private" scanning group. All my other scans are done in my OB's rooms.

newbabe I am sure the kids will be absolutely smitten once bub comes along. Change is good for them I think and can only make them stronger long term.

Kellz hope today is a better day and that the bday cakes go smoothly.

Got an update on my health insurance last night with some changes they are making and they have increased the value of claims per year for Obstetrics to $700.00 per year. The good thing about being due the year after getting UTD is I can make 2 claims so will be $1400.00 cheaper than we had thought so am absolutely stoked

DH has his first test today so an anxious day ahead. He got my wee care package and got quite emotinal - not quite the intended result. On a positive his floor mates loved the choc slice I sent and the Rescue Remedy helped him to sleep so some positives.

Can't believe tomorrow is the 12week mark for us. Gosh next Wed scan can't come soon enough - I am hoping maybe they have a doppler but not sure how early you can hear the heart - sucks that DH won't be there but will use the good old i-ohone to record it.
