Congrats MS... hope baby Josephs well soon, good size baby I'm sure he'll be fine soon!!!

Ms2011 sorry to hear you had a tough night with little Joseph in the incubator & the section too.
I hope you got a bit of sleep yourself. How are you feeling now?
I agree with Tinkerbell, he's a fine size which is great & should make him hardy for fighting off that infection.
I hope he's out and well very soon x x

Ah the poor wee man, fingers crossed you'll have him back in the morning. Hope you're recovering well :-)

Sending lots of cyber hugs your way MS!!!! If at ALL possible try get some food into you and some rest (though I'm sure it's very noisy on the ward). Take care of yourself! Hope your little man stabilises again

kildareash

Ms2011, hope little Joseph is doing better today and he will be back with you soon. Hope ye both get home soon, I'm sure it will help you to recover too.

Cap, hope things r improving in your house today. God love you, you've had a tough week too. By the sounds of it your hubby is a very lucky man, I hope he has a speedy recovery. Hope your getting a chance to put your feet up before babs arrives. Take the hand off anyone who offers to help

Thinking of you both MS xx

Huge congratulations Ms2011 and welcome to the world baby Joseph.. i know it's really tough when you haven't got you're baby right there with you .. if you can at all try to rest up and get some strength back for when he's with you again.. Hopefully he'll be ok soon ... big hugs xx

Ms2011

Just a quick update. Joseph's sugar levels seem to be stabilising, he's controling his temps & the infection has cleared so he's off the IV antibiotics. He is still in the special care unit being monitored but fingers crossed he'll be back with me tomorrow in time to go home on Friday :-)

That is absolutely brilliant news Ms2011, absolutely delighted to hear he is doing so well!
My heart went out to you after your earlier post, sounded like things were very tough
Hopefully you will both be home asap x

Kildareash, thanks I'll definitely be making the most of any help put in my direction for sure My sister very kindly cooked us up a batch of meals which we froze down & have enough to do a fortnight.
She's going to do the same again soon, help me do up a big batch so I wont have to worry about making meals when baby arrives. It's amazing how much easier it makes life having that one less thing to worry about!

Someone asked me when I was due, had a bit of an OMG moment when I was able to answer 'next week'!
I know it could be another 2 weeks onto that if baby decides to arrive later, but surreal getting to so close to the finish line! doesn't feel like so long ago I was counting down every cycle when trying to conceive.
It's amazing to be so close as to almost have baby in my arms now

Hope every one else is doing well

Ms2011

Finally got home with Joseph on Friday, it's great to get back to your own home comforts

Will be keeping a watch on this thread for some new babas, beat of luck to all those still waiting

caprilicious

Fantastic stuff Ms2011, glad you're both doing well. Nothing nicer than getting home to your own bed too (well for the short time a newborn lets you sleep in it anyway )

Congrats Ms! Lovely name and so glad you are home ok now.

tinkerbell79

Glad your both home MS... hopefully youll settle into routine soon and can look forward:):)

Congrats Emily.... welcome to the thread!!!

Had a scan today at week 11 which went great. At first the baby was a sleep but then woke up and started squirming all about the place, dancing and kicking (or maybe flailing about in frustration at being woken). The doc measured him/her at 11wk5d but said that as I had a 7 week scan that dated as today being 11 weeks I shouldn't adjust my dates as the baby is just probably a big big for it's age. Which is great news for the baby, and maybe bad news for my vagina.

Tigeress

Great to hear you're all well and home MS! Best of luck with baby xxx

Cap I'm shocked reading that you're due next week! That flew!! Doesn't it seem forever ago we were tracking cycles waiting for our BFP's hope baby doesn't leave you waiting too long! Ps can I borrow your sis?! She sounds great, doing all those meals

Iguana what a fab picture! You must be over the moon there is absolutely nothing like seeing your baby on a scan very best wishes on your amazing journey ahead enjoy it xxx

Welcome Emily & Congrats on your news

It was wiggling about at the time as the doctor woke it up so it's probably asking why did we wake it and plotting it's revenge for November.:eek:

Haha, that's the best one I've seen so far, very original

caprilicious

Tigeress I know, It feels like a lifetime ago we were on the TTC thread, surreal to think I''m so close to the finish line now

Iguana love the birth announcement! Very original Your scan is amazing too, so clear! I often end up getting scans where I literally can't make head or tail of whats on screen

Bad afternoon here. I was playing fetch in the garden with the dogs and the blind-ish three legged one bumped into me as I turned around and I fell over. I burst into tears, freaking out that I'd hurt the baby. My husband called Holles St and they said to come in, which freaked me out more. Thankfully the scan showed the baby hopping about, playing trampoline on my uterus and I got three new photos of it and I'm finally calming down. One of my knees has gone purple though.

cyning

Oh iguana that sucks: but look baby is fine and that the main thing... Pregnancy makes me one big massive ball of worry about everything: and that's without falling. And you got too see baby today

Aw hon, I know how scary it is - I had a fall last week, but because I'm RH negative, I had to go and get the anti-D injection. Once I heard the heartbeat and got the scan I calmed down. They will call you in no matter what, as a precaution, and you did the right thing. I have a lovely scabby knee too.
