Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[bunnywabbit]

Latest and greatest on my brother!!!

1) Airlifted yesterday
2) No surgery needed for now...possibly none at all
3) Able to sit up!!

He still is going to have a rough time, the IV fluids are going in, but nothing is coming out. We are waiting to hear more...and praying for a miracle!

Gecon...I was trying to lay down and get rid of my headache, but nothing has worked. Going to check your video out!!!

That's fantastic news! Fingers crossed he won't need the surgery at all. The fact he's able to sit is a great sign! x

Emily - OMG, that is crazy to have to fly back to the UK! How long would you have to be gone? You will know so soon! You're totally going to hear pink!!

Ladybugs - So happy to hear about your brother...what amazing news!! Hope you hear back from your elective scan place soon!

GeCon - Trying to watch your video now, but my computer is being super slow. Will give it an honest look!

AFM - The good news is that baby looks great!! NT super thin, nasal bone is present. They did find a small subchorionic hemorrhage, surprised it hasn't caused any bleeding! Doc wasn't concerned, thought it would probably resolve in the next few weeks. Okay, now for the bad news...totally a boy nub. Ugh. I am doing ok at the moment, but not sure how I'm gonna feel when I find out for sure in 10-14 days. Trying to keep my chin up! Will post a pic below.

I'm sorry you don't think you're getting your little pink bundle. You're 11+ weeks, right? At that stage there is a huge margin of error. I think there's still space for change. Fingers crossed for you... x

Bunnywabbit....so you got a go in yesterday?!?! Fingers crossed that the SME and you have your BFP in a few weeks time!! Have you been able to get some downtime from your MIL?

Yeah, got a go in yesterday... So the wait begins!

As far as the MiL, I think after the last discussion we had she's been a little more sensitive to my feelings and has improved. We went out for a meal tonight - me, DH and MiL and was actually very pleasant. Was Chinese and ate a little more than I should have, but stuck to water, veggies and noodles. Hopefully it didn't count against me too much!

Meeks, it is only on Photobucket, I'm afraid. I am currently on the ipad too and just clicked play after it took me to the page. I am going to bed now anyway, so I am looking forward to your reply in the morning.

Ladybugs, looking forward to your response too.

Myrainbowgirl, sorry about the boy looking nub, but at 11 weeks the nub theory is not that reliable anyway, so try not to dwell on it.

Everyone else

[myrainbowgirl]

Ugh. Phone not cooperating. Will try to post pic a little later!

[GeCon]

Bunnywabbit, do not worry. I am sure your Chinese won't count against you. Fingers crossed this is your month. Did you just do the one attempt?

[bunnywabbit]

Thanks Gecon. Yeah, just the one attempt. This is a very early o this cycle (normally CD13 but was CD9 this time), so *maybe* I might get another chance later on too!

[I Love Ladybugs]

Good news on the brother front......he walked just a little, but was in pain. His bladder is doing something wrong....and we have not heard what the deal is still.

I am headed down to Vancouver for a Tuesday am appt....we have figured out how to use the cost saving options through our medical system, so I get a little vacation out of it. Lol, I have to look at the positive side of it The list of appts spans just 6 hours, but is going to be a busy, tiring day! There is not alot of options to get down there without me driving in a large city, in the heat....no way, I am so blessed by how all the little things are working together!!!

I would be gone for at least 12 weeks. It is so long. I was all gung ho about giving birth here - i am not fussy when giving birth but now am a bit concerned. DS1 was also born in a 'non-confinement' country and had serious issues from a botched delivery. He is still affected cosmetically so I know that it is the baby I have to think of too - it isnt just a question of not caring about water births, ball and gas and air.

Bunnywabbit - FX for you this month!!

Ladybugs - Enjoy Vancouver...hope your appointments go well!

GeCon - How are you feeling?

Emily - Ugh, not a fun decision to make. I might tend to lean toward flying back as well, especially if I had concerns about medical facilities & had issues in the past! But yes, you would be gone so long...no fun! Sorry if this question is too personal...where are you originally from and why are you and your family having to go to all these different countries? Just wondering...you sound like a very experienced world traveler!

AFM - I have tried multiple times to post my nub shot on this thread, and I just cannot get it to work. I was able to post it on the Dec/Jan/Feb 2014 thread, so go on over and have a look if you're curious. Definitely leaning blue, but trying to not feel hopeless till the verdict is in. At this point I am seriously praying for a miracle!
