Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll call!

Gorgeous pics Cinss, your girls look like they're having a ball! I was just thinking how it would be lovely to see snow this time of year after reading the others posts but then I saw your pics and realised how much fun we have this time of year, so thanks for that ;) (I still would love to see snow though)

Oh I could have written the post about anxiety - I have it soooo bad right now. Im only feeling bubs maybe once every couple of days if Im lucky and this morning I woke up and my tummy has gone. I know I shouldnt but i listen for the heartbeat on my doppler every day (literally only for 5 seconds) and that helps for the day but I wish I could feel baby but even then I am constantly scared. I read all the posts on losing their babies and I automatically think that will happen to me, its crazy and totally irrational.. I had a dream last night I was bleeding and instantly had to run to the toilet when I woke up. I wish I wasnt such a worrier, it really takes up too much time and energy ugh!

Surgena I can imagine the nerves but it sounds like you are pretty busy over the next few days so hopefully that will help with the nerves. Also how exciting that you are going on your holiday so soon!!! I had to drop hubby off at the airport yesterday and I was so jealous of all the people travelling.

Mora is about 45 minutes from here actually :-)

haha too funny Rosie!!

bimby - I have been doing the same thing with the doppler. my midwife said try not to do it everyday but I get too nervous. logically I know theres nothing I can do to prevent anything but my best friend just told me to use it, its better than being stressed out about it.

I talked to my midwife about the doppler (and when I could hear the heartbeat on their doppler) and she said they actually changed protocol since I was pregnant with my son and they don't offer anymore, because it is not clinical at all and offers no real clues to how the baby is doing (gee, thanks!) That they rely more on movement and often the heartbeat is the last thing to tell you that something is wrong. Certainly didn't make me feel better about using my doppler at home... but I'm still using it for reassurance! Figures.

Well If the heartbeat is gone its probably too late obviously

I don't feel movement yet though... So I don't know how I could tell with that?

I know... kind of frustrating. I'm still glad I've got my Doppler despite her telling me that. :/

Even though I feel movement I still freak out daily because sometimes he will go hours and hours without moving. Drives me bonkers. My other boys moved all the time as soon as I felt them for the first time. I could count on at least a kick an hour. Now...it can go 6 hours without any movement. So scary to me! He doesn't wake easily either, I try all sorts of things to get him to move and he doesn't.

Very cute Cinss! :)

Aww, a white Christmas sounds lovely. I'd love for my boys to see snow one of these days but I'm too chicken to drive up to the snowy areas.

Wishing you a very safe flight to the US, Suregena! xx

I would rather have the Doppler than stress out, too. I am stressed enough as it is and I know from past pregnancies that I won't stop worrying until the baby is safely in my arms. And then I'll worry about other stuff lol. It just makes me feel better to hear the hb.

I didn't get any good pics of this baby yesterday because of his position, but here is the potty shot.
