Dania - It is so nice that you have stuck with us and now as Laura says are more than 1/2 way. That really is amazing. It must be so exciting to find out whether it is a girl or a boy. Wow. Thanks for your words of wisdom about things with my dh. It is good to know that I am not alone and that others have issues too. I hope that you have had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend with all your friends and family around. Sure that the dreams are due to all the hormones - how fully!???
Laura - Was thinking of you yesterday even though I did not get to post. Line getting darker is terrific. You do sound further ahead than last time in terms of what you are seeing. Just hoping that the little ones are clinging on for you over the weekend. I so hope that you are going to have a really strong beta tomorrow. Thinking of you and sending you loads of babydust hun. The waiting must be really hard on you right now. Tomorrow is almost here. Glad that you managed to get out of jury duty. One less thing to worry about. Sorry that you are on a busy spell of shifts but may be it is a blessing in disguise as sitting around would just make every hour drag on and on
Vero - How is my pal? How are you doing on your de-stressing? Hope that you have had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. When is your next acu session?
Jackie - I am sure that you do get concerned about every little twinge but sure that it is all your body adapting to having a little one on board. Issue with our consultant is that he said that we must wait until after Xmas when we saw him post-tubal op. So I am trying to persuade him to do something sooner so not sure that we can do that without going to see him. I am ok. I may be able to start down regging pre-Xmas and then do the stimmies in Jan. It is EC and ET that they like to avoid around Xmas close down. I may follow your advice and at least call his office this week to see whether they have had any cancellations.
So we went out to the country to see our race horse. He is called LOrient Express. He is huge and really dark chocolate brown. We stayed over night Friday at a quaint hotel, with a good friend of mine. It was nice to see her although my dh had quite a lot to drink and passed out - so not quite the romantic evening away that I had hoped for!!!!!! The stables were amazing. We were with a different trainer before whose stables were not as posh. We have the top lady trainer in the country - girl power! She is so professional. Horse looked in fantastic shape and should be ready to run in about 3 weeks time. Something to look forward too. I should find a photo and post on the photbucket site so you can all see him!
I didn't post much at the end of the week as our 12 year old niece was taken into hospital on Thursday. We were not going to go up to the stables but Mike's sister told us to go. We came back earlier yesterday to see her. They think it was just a grumbling appendix but it is still a concern as she keeps passing out for no apparent reason. She was released from hospital yesterday. So dh is of course worried. Plus it is a year on Tuesday since he lost his Dad. So I think that he has a lot of stress to deal with right now.
I need to hold it together and not place him under more stress. Am making lots of plans and trying not to wonder if I will (ever) be pregnant. Booked to go to the opera with my best friend next March. Booked to take my parents to the theatre in London at the end of January too.
Looks like I may have picked up my first piece of freelance work. Need to ensure that I do not over commit. But it is quite exciting.
AF will be here by next weekend. I know this time so have very low expectations wich will mean that the fall is not so bad. Have acu on Thursday. Then only just over 3 weeks until our consultation so have that to focus on.
Have a good week. I so hope that Laura is going to get a great beta and that Em's scan will go well.
Lots of Love
