Hi Ladies,
StarryEyed and Ilse - your work sounds fascinating!!!!
StarryEyed - perhaps I should try the bands again...I did think it helped and then I didn't anymore.
So, glad you survived the talk - I though of you several times during the day while I was lying in bed recovering from migraine...so we really all can think very sympathetically of each other while we all feel sick. Don't worry about the nibbling now, as long it is healthy stuff it is all fine.
I stressed A LOT in my first pregnancy - really. One hears about so many moms having miscarriages that one almost believe you are going to be one of the statistics. I don't really have any advice as I was the same, I just know now that it isn't going to help if I stress, but back then I couldn't get mind over matter. It helps to first get over the first trimester...
AFM - Apart from the migraine I had yesterday all day long and could only take panado (which is useless) I am still in amazement of the scan. Telling our 5 year old girl was the most wonderful memorable experience too. She is so HAPPY and excited! She just wants to touch my tummy all the time - too cute. Shortly after we told her she ran to my room and got my Bodyshop coconut bodybutter and started massaging my feet and legs to pamper me! It was the most beautiful experience ever....I felt like what Jesus must have felt like when Mary poured perfumed oil over his feet. I felt so blessed. She just kept putting on more cream but I refrained from telling her to use less as I figured this is once in a lifetime experience. I did need a towel to walk back to my room to get shoes other wise I would have slipped!
I am doing 3 weeks of backup laundry tomorrow as our washing machine broke and we will be getting it back tomorrow. So glad to have it back!
Hope everyone has a good weekend! xx
