Dream - I am severely anemic also ... UGH. I can't stomach the iron tablets so I've been trying to eat lots of iron rich foods but it doesn't seem to he helping. My hair is starting to fall out by the handful! I guess this is probably great for a pink sway but I'm not too sure how soon (if at all!) I want to TTC again. How are you feeling about all that?
Ladybugs she is beautiful. So glad it sounds like her health issues are minimal, and treatable? Does she need surgery?
Dream and Charlee I am anaemic too but luckily tolerate the iron tabs, have heard good things about the natural alternatives though.
AFM I have had horrible upper stomach pain, nausea, and barely eaten or slept in days. Off to the big city tomorrow for some blood and urine tests, and an ultrasound to see what's going on. No idea what it is but would really love the pain to go away. Still getting good movements but the pain ebbs and flows and when it's bad I can barely stand or speak, when it's eased off it's still there constantly niggling. Never had this in pregnancy before...
Aww, she's absolutely gorgeous, I love Ladybugs. Love her little button nose! Enjoy her xQuote:

Meeks, sorry to hear you are not feeling too well. Hopefully you will get some answers and feel better soon.
Bunny, how are you feeling?
AFM: I am officially 36 weeks today, which is a relief as it means that should the wee man decide to come any time now, all going well we should be able to go to the local hospital. Seen the MW this morning. All is well. Wee man is head down, but not yet engaged, which is apparently normal for subsequent pregnancies. Let's see if we can make it to the next MW appointment on the 3rd January. And according to my ticker he is now the size of a honeydew. Not sure I believe the ticker as he was the size of a pineapple a few weeks ago, which to me is bigger than a honeydew...
Hello trimester 2!
I know I shouldn't be able to feel much at the moment, but am certain I can feel baby move. Not kicking, etc. but I have felt him/her move from the centre of my tum to the side. Tummy finally looks like I have a little baby in there - if I wake in the morning on my back there's a little bulge below my naval line which started on Tuesday. My stomach used to be completely flat when I woke.
Last half day at work tomorrow before breaking up for Christmas, then scan on Monday morning - looking forward to this one. Hoping LO is a little more cooperative than last time as bubba's granddad is coming to the scan. So excited!
I'm not too bad thanks, GeCon. Hoping all is well with you and your little men. Still eating for one but wanting to sleep for two. Looking forward to Monday's scan. Will be 13+4 so may be able find out which one it'll be. Still thinking I'll hear boy, but for right now I just want to make it to term relatively worry free and have a healthy happy baby.Quote:

Had a look on thebump.com at what my little peach should be doing for the week and wondering how far out I am from my actual due date. I guess I won't find out as such until they measure at my 16 week scan, right?
Congrats, Tree!
Aww, Ladybugs, she is gorgeous!! Do they think she will need any treatment or repairs? So glad she's doing so well!
Meeks - yuck on feeling badly. Hope they figure it out quickly!
Bunny - Woohoo on 2nd tri! Looking forward to seeing more nub pics!
AFM - Doing ok, feeling pretty good. Emotionally have had a rough week. The boys have been HARD, and I really had a bit of a breakdown yesterday, thinking I am not ready for another, and certainly not another little boy. BUT, took them all out today to get haircuts and then to lunch and ice cream, and they were actually very good. I just looked around at all of them with their adorable little hairdo's, and thought that I am so blessed to have each of them. God knew I couldn't handle another rough day, I guess! Still nervous about TTCing again, but know that He won't give me what I can't handle. Trusting Him! :)

I didn't go to the doctor until 9 weeks either. It was supposed to be 8 weeks but then they had to reschedule. The nice thing about it being a little later was that I was able to have a little ultrasound in the room and we were able to see the heartbeat. It was great for peace of mind.

Meeks, were they able to determine what was causing all of that pain for you? I hope you are feeling better!
Bunny, yay for second tri! Hopefully some new found energy will come to you soon. I remember feeling so much better around 13 weeks with my last two pregnancies. Hoping it happens again. I have been feeling terrible...migraines and nausea, and just plain exhausted. Never had much sickness at all with the other two luckily. This is no fun!
Charlee, I am enjoying keeping up with little guy through your pictures on FB. He is so precious! How are the big boys doing with the adjustment?
Rainbow, I have had a rough week with my boys this week too. I have been so frustrated and don't know if they are being that much different or if it's more me because I have been so sick and tired that it is hard to have patience.
GeCon, wow you are getting so close to meeting your new little man! So exciting!!
