Love It Mocha!!!

I am such a moron! I was supposed to get my second blood test for ICP and I was supposed to fast for 8 hr before getting the blood draw. I totally forgot, ate a big breakfast, and then went in.... thankfully the nurse asked if I had done the fast before she took my blood! Now I get to wait until Monday. I am such a fool! I hope that not finding out if I have it for a few extra days won't make a difference.

Hobb, Are you still itchy?

[Hobbermittens]

Hobb, Are you still itchy?

Yeah, mostly hands and feet. Not horrible, but it is definitely still there. The place that itches most is the underside of my hand right at the base of my pinky.

How are you? Did you get your test results back for ICP?

Mocha, so sorry for your loss. May your dad Rest In Peace

I haven't dissappeared ladies, just had a few days away camping with boys and DH and DH's work mates...which was fab! And just had a few days away from my laptop also...just needed a little break away. I now have some catching up to do.

All is well with baby Charlie, at the 23 week scan they saw all his heart valves which they couldn't see at the 20week scan saw my consultant and due to my gastric band and me losing weight in this pregnancy i will be have 2 more growth scans to ensure he is growing ok. At my midwife appt last week unfortunately due to my anterior placenta she was unable to hear his heartbeat I have only ever heard it on a scan, but he his moving well so no concerns

Hope you and all your lovely bambino's are well xxx

Wow, so we have a few anterior placentas here, huh?
Mine is too! My Nurse Midwife and Doctor have always been able to find heartbeat, though...bummer you didn't get to hear it!

So I can definitely tell baby is going to be stubborn about presentation. It's head down, but is usually full-on posterior OR right occiput transverse. I feel like it makes me have to pee even MORE often, haha. I've been doing certain stretches and such to encourage better positioning, but I won't lie that I'm nervous about it. My first labor was super easy and I'm just paranoid now. ;D

Mine is still there too, I have it on my legs and face aswell and just feeling a bit unwell today. I am getting my test done next week same time i get my sugar test done because I have to fast for both so may aswell do it all together.

My brother and his girl friend ( which he has been with for 5 years ) came over last night.. I am not close to them at all but they were in town for a friend of theirs 30th and so they thought they would stop in to tell me and my d/h that they are expecting! Which Is fantastic news I am very happy for them but like I said I never see or hear from them anyway but first thing that came to my mind was I bet its a girl and I got a bit jealous..... She had been on a diet the last few months and lost 12 kgs so its all in her favor. This is their first baby and was not a planned thing they said and both of them think it will be a girl.... Then my brothers g/f said to me yeah well my side is girls and your side is mixed so we have a good chance it being a girl not like you she said your d/h has all brothers so only natural you will have alll boys.. She was not trying to be nasty but I took it a way as in well everyone just thinks I will get boys and I feel like my pregnancy is not exciting anymore , They were so excited I wish I could feel that feeling.. you know? As you all know I am not close to my family and my mum well she is terrible but she will love this news and good luck to them I hope she is close to their baby .... Probably makes things better for me because she wont be interested at all in my kids so then I dont have to ever see her.. ( not that she is interested much anyway but you know what I mean! I hope I dont sound bitchy I am just a bit lost today and feeling quite down..
