Hey ladies!!!
We just got back from a family trip...
We took the boys on a big vacation since we won't be able to do it again for a while with the new baby.

How is everybody??

Yesterday was a long car ride...my feet were so swollen last night I cried because they were ugly.
LOL...my DH said they looked like two big meatloafs. Jerk!! LOL

Welcome back Beadin!!!

Hi ladies... Been checking in but not had too much too report. Lately I've felt very up and down, not sure what its all about really but assuming the pregnancy hormones have something to do with it. Started worrying again about the baby too, its like I have worry cycles!

Hi ladies I have finally made up my mind and am going back to the Uk to deliver. A lady here just put it all in perspective - in a few years you won't regret going back but if you stay and something goes wrong you will regret it forever.

I will hate being away from DS1and DH but they are going to come over for 6 weeks too so we will get to spend Christmas New Year and everyone's birthdays together.

Well done! You must feel so much better for just having made a decision about it. And I think you're right, safety of bubs is best, you'd just worry otherwise. It will also be a lovely opportunity to catch up with your friends over here. Where do you plan on having your baby?

I am just checking in....tomorrow is the echo and scan date, with Wednesday being the follow-up appts with the specialists. I have been laying low because I feel like I will bring down a group, even IRL, I have been chilling out by myself and just waiting for the next couple of days/weeks to be here.

Emily...I am relieved with your decision!! As in happy, excited and breathing a sigh of closure for you....you are going to have a more relaxed pregnancy and L&D because of not having to think of all the options until she arrives!!!!

Beadin'....awesome to take a vacay! Are you feeling rested?

On the pond...you about covered it for the second time round momma!! I think that it is crazy that your hubby does not know...if only him or I would have found out about baby girl here by ourselves, it would have come out within minutes!!

Myrainbowgirl....I have been thinking of you lots...and reading/seeing rainbows in my kids' books. Your newest little treasure is going to make your life so interesting!!!!!

[BeadinMom]

LadyBugs, please keep us posted...
Will be thinking of you!! XO

Hi there! So glad someone is still here! I think you have everything covered! Looks like you have it all thought out! How has the keeping the secret been going? Have you almost slipped a couple of times? When we knew the baby was a girl before our reveal party I almost slipped like 4 or 5 times and I only had to hold it for 48 hours! :-)

[myrainbowgirl]

Onthepond - Yep, that sounds about right!

Ladybugs - You are so sweet to think of me. I'm still seeing rainbows, too...gotta still believe God's promise! (Not that this is a girl, but that he will be SO special and that the girl is coming. ) Good luck for all your appointments tomorrow and Wednesday. Will pray that all is well!!

Beadin - Glad you had a great trip! Yuck on the swollen feet! Still feeling good about being team green? Were you with your boys??

Emily - I think you made a good decision...you will be in good hands! And yay that your hubby and kiddos will get to come visit. Sounds like the perfect solution!

Tree - Sorry you've been emotionally up & down. It's just pregnancy hormones! Your little lady will be just fine!


AFM - Not much to report...next appointment is Sept. 30th, my big ultrasound. It's going so fast!

Quick update.....

Although I did not see the doctor I will tomorrow at the appt, the echo went well...."indistinguishable from normal"!!!!!! And the left kidney still looks good, but the right kidney has obvious big cysts on the top....and the bladder was making them puzzled. Don't think it is a big deal, but not sure yet

I will be happy tomorrow to hear similar words from those doctors....just a matter of chilling out and waiting.
