Sorry for not getting back to your messages earlier... I was really down yesterday after reading Deeps message...I've been hearing one sad news after another and its been quite overwhelming for me....

Anyways... Vindhya glad to hear that your appointment went ok..good luck with your strep b results... and hope the fundal height is fine too...dont worry about being induced - I am sure you wont be that far behind in the line.. :)

My mom and dad are doing alright.. the second part of your dream came true..:) I feel like a queen now, sitting around while she tends to me...Dad is trying to keep himself busy by playing tennnis and going for walks.....

Arshiya, hope you are feeling a bit better now.. your mom will be here in two more days and you will surely feel much better physically and mentally..

My appointment is tomorrow and since I wont have any internals, like Vindhya, hope it is pretty uneventful...

You guys take care....and stay good.. Simmi replied. Hi girls. hope u don't mind me poking my nose in ur discussion. Well, since I was feeling much the same thought would share with u too. I felt very sad after reading Deep's message and yesterday night was so terryfying, baby didn't move and my tummy got tight like a rock and back and groin pain were making it worse. All pain together, I was not able to lie down. Hubby woke up with the sound of my discomfort and rubbed my back, I pressed by groin pain and after much struggle, felt bit of pain relief though no major movement. Then morning through the day time not much action. Evening time though after dinner, baby did move, I hope baby is keeping well.

Anyways, that wasn't what I wanted to alarm u about, I wanted to share that I have got baby clothes from 0-3 mths too, I've read that most newborn size clothes don't fit babies after the first mth, so getting a bit bigger won't be unwise.

For me though I am more concerned about getting snowsuit, sleepsuit and car seat cover, and guess what I don't get car seat cover, in which I can wrap the baby from indoors...in UK. We have much colder weather here but this is not there in no store. Found it in one French catalogue and might try to order it through that one. Hope it arrives in time. It is already 10 degrees here, dreading the winter ahead!!

Got my night gowns, velvet ones, mum sent with pockets and zip (easy feeding) so can start getting my bag ready, have to get pads and stuff and diapers too. Hopefully should do this before I finish work end of next week.

Apart from that spoke to mum and from what I gathered mum is not going back to work till next mth end, so doubt she will make a trip in Dec...so very sad in that respect but don't want to push her if she is not upto it.

Fingers crossed, we all will get through the final weeks and our babies will be safe and sound.
God bless.
Simmi Arshiya replied. Hey,

Just like you guys, I was also down yesterday reading deep's message, and was in tears.
Avi, great that your dad is keeping himself busy and enjoy your mom's food.

I am also just waiting for mom to come here and cook for me (specially guju), and I am sure I will feel better mentally and physically then.

I am feeling better than yesterday now. I called my doc yesterday and she asked me to take tylenol sinus, which I didn't want to take. I just wanted to avoid any medicines for this time, so my dear husband went online to babycenter and read about sinus and cold during pregnancy and got me Tea Tree oil and Eucalyptus oil to sniff in a paper towel. I guess that has helped me a lot and I am feeling much better now.

Vindhya, glad to hear that you are done with travel system, metrolite is pretty good one too. I also liked it.

I also bought some NB clothes, but I am not sure if those would be too big. I will get some premie once baby is born. I also bought very cute homecoming outfit for the baby in 0-3 size.
I just need to buy some NB diapers now.

Arshiya Vindhya replied. Hi Avi,

Yesterday, I felt down too after reading Deep's message. It shouldn't have happenned. I had so many questions as to how it could have been avoided, but then God always has other plans. She will definitely be blessed with a beautiful baby soon.

It's good that your dad is occupied, otherwise it would have been little boring for him. For moms, they'll never feel bored and once the baby arrives, you all wouldn't have any time to get bored at all. Enjoy her cooking.

Did you complete your shopping? We bought the Metrolite stroller and snug ride infant car seat. Did you get your car seat fixed?

Good luck with your appointment tomorrow.

Hope Arshiya is feeling better today.

Vindhya
