Part 9: Due December 2017, January, February and March 2018

Blue - that makes sense! I hope your right too. My blood tests took 5 business days. Did your OB act concerned or just say that she's not sure so sending off?

She did seem concerned and didnt want to commit to anything just said we will refer you to MFM. bcoz as soon as she said fluid around heart and in brain i said "that could be downs syndrome right". If it was just fluid in one place its not too bad of a deal usually but there is increased fluid in 2 different places.

Sky- Good luck! I believe my bloodwork took about 9 business days.

Mommy2apples - fingers crossed for a bfp tomorrow!

Bluebooties-super cute baby!

Ash - I had back labor with DD2 and it was like a searing, highly uncomfortable pain just above my tailbone that went down one thigh and it radiated around my side to my belly, I wanted to pull my spine out. My epidural was also put in crooked so that could be why it was just one side. I had sciatica with her pretty bad though too.

Oh blue - ok. Please update us Friday. I'll be praying until then. Do you have any factors for increased risk of downs, age, family history? I'm 35 so I got all the blood work done that gave positive/negative versus the %s like in my past pregnancies. Hopefully you'll have the blood work back by Friday too.

Thanks Kat.
No i don't have any personal or family risks and that's why i wasn't offered NIPT just the routine antenatal screening which i opted out of as its not as accurate. I didn't event get an NT scan.

Kat did I miss the name you've picked on the fb page? That's awesome you had a fantastic vacation! Love that your girls were cheering for their baby sister [emoji179] I really like that saying 'comparison is the thief of joy' and will remember it next time I'm feeling jealous/envious of things out of my control [emoji3]

Bluebooties- I know the wait is the worse. I am praying for you and the baby. I hope you are right and the OB just misread it. Hang in there. Hugs.

Kat - Glad that you had a great vacation. How cute of your girls to be so excited. I am sorry about that feeling of comparison. I used to feel when we were ttc and whenever I would see anyone pregnant. And then I would imagine that I am going to freak out once I do get pregnant because then I would start worrying
about the gender. So many hugs. It's only natural to feel this way. So let yourself feel it. Can't wait to hear the name. ❤️And I too loved that saying too. So many feelings in just one sentence.

Blue – I will be thinking of you and hope that you get reassurance on Friday – the wait is a killer – FX a specialist tech will be able to rule out issues : as you’re right, your OB is probably not the expert eyes you need in case of doubt and may well have misinterpreted images.

Kat – how great you had a lovely break (you are so petite and fit, don’t worry too much about the weight gain hon you look fab!), and how cute are your girls cheering on their baby sister! I know so so so so much how you feel, and try to remind myself just what you said – not to spoil things by being jealous – but darn it’s hard! And as happy as you can be for others, when you long for that son, it cuts really deep when others get what you so wish you had, too. my SIL’s 2nd bub is looking very much like it could be a 2nd boy and GD is coming back when I thought I was being so positive etc
Didn’t see the name for DD3 on FB – will have to go stalk now!

Ash – like Kat am biaised for the name Eloise hehe – I do like Esme though!!

Sky – how are you feeling? Like Kat am so convinced you have a boy in there I wish you’d just go and ask your hubby now

PBN – how are you? It’s been a while since we’ve seen your bump

My little E is 2 today – she was just the cutest this morning when she walked into our room and I wished her a happy birthday, she was just so excited – love her to bits that kid!
The electrician was still working on the installation last night (woohoo we have aircon!) so no power so had to go out for dinner - and only got to bake her daycare Bday cake super late – so had to decorate it etc. in a rush this am – not the best or prettiest but meh, 2 year olds probs don’t care as long as they get to eat cake haha

Oh and likely will go back to 5d/w at work – have a spot for the girls on Fridays at daycare and frankly, as much as it breaks my heart, financially would put us in a better position as will be able to earn some more before mat leave, accrue more annual leave and get paid more on mat leave too as they determine your pay based on how much you’ve worked the past 12 months….
M, my eldest is not keen, but I think we don’t have much of a choice – and did tell her that Mummy would be much more available next year as Mummy will be on leave for some months while baby sister is still tiny….
Sigh – can’t ever win eh? I need to win the lotto, methinks!

[Mommy2apples]

Happy birthday to your sweet girl lmsm! I think 1-2 is my favorite age!
Sorry you will need to go back to work. It's always tough! Me and you both need to win the lotto!
