Pegasus... I love early ultrasounds!!! Makes the later ones that much cooler, to think your baby started as that tiny speck with a HUGE beating heart!!! So cool!!!

Hi everyone
I know I've been keeping quite low key lately. Today I just need to sound off before I burst into floods of tears.
I've not got the most ideal marriage so while this pregnancy is a real blessing for me it's timing was abit off. Each day is an emotional rollercoaster based upon what mood my spouse is in. When things are very unbearable I let off steam in my blog but am trying to lift each incident in prayer so as to not speak bad of him online. Tuesday had me sat with him in the house in silence because I'd literally forgotten to leave dinner for him to warm up - I had just spent the previous few days feeling as though my body was fighting a chill/cold bug and I felt run down. Yet while I was ill, it was still only my sole responsibility to make sure that HRH was content and looked after - she refuses to spend any time with him and so became very clingy when she saw me unwell.
Today now the morning started with him being chatty but then because I'd sent an email before he'd wanted it to go, I had my head chewed off and have just had another few minutes of silence. He's just spent the whole morning on the internet to where he could have contacted this person himself - I was only helping him out. If I go off at him I'll only end up stressing myself and then potentially harming the baby so I remained quiet.
I just feel real resentful and a real big fool right now for allowing him back into our lives (we'd been separated for the last 3-4 years). I am so ready to walk away from this marriage but am now not in a financial position to do anything. I'm hitting a point in the pregnancy where I'm becoming less and less mobile and I'm carrying quite big to where I can't do as much stuff at home. End result is my once lovely home is now a filthy house with a run down garden. It's really getting to me that coming up to 3 weeks now there are 3 dead mice by my back door in the garden, which are only there because I can't physically pick them up to dispose of them. Two weeks ago I'd mentioned about how they needed to be picked up and he'd incredulously said, "So I guess I will have to clean themup?!" I pointed at my bump and said, "what do you think?" Things like this has been seriously getting me down as of late.
Due to work and him back in 06' I had previously battled with depression and stress but through God's grace had recovered from it. Now I have days when it feels like all that is coming back.
Guys, I just needed to get this out my system but if you all could remember me, my daughter and my baby in your prayers, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks Etsi. I'm basically relying on the Lord and my family in terms of my sanity and peace. When I am a couple of weeks away from giving birth I'm moving in with HRH, with my mom so that she can help out. She's been over to vacuum my stairs a couple of times because I can no longer carry my vacuum cleaner and he won't do it.

Hmm Mines an orange...
We are still just going on day by day. I'm still on bedrest... pretty much been 6 weeks so far,and still bleeding (been 10 weeks non stop).
The earthquakes are slightly less than they were, but still frightening at times (like last night's 5.1). We are going to have to stay here in the caravan once bubs is born cos rents have risen so so much... Life does feel harder, but at least we are on the good side of town.
I'm excited that I"m pregnant, but still trying to be a bit blaze about it - there are still risks with the SCH and that I know... I have had 3 huge bleeds in the 11 days post quake with the last where I lost a large clot and ended up in hospital. They are saying "it's ok, but you still might lose it". I thought it was hard to lose a baby at 5ish weeks, 15+ doesn't compare.

I have a 3D ultrasound this coming Saturday! I probably could have done without it (although they are soooo cool), but DH can't wait. "We'll always regret it if we don't do it," and "Have you set it up yet?" have been on his lips constantly in the past few weeks. Even though I am totally excited about it, I have even more joy at seeing how totally psyched HE is!
Now that we're having a girl, his whole mindset is changing too. I can hardly tear him away from the racks of baby girl clothes (he's gone soft!), and he's finally beginning to fully appreciate the more conservative way that I was raised. In the mall the other day, he said, "Man, everything is changing for me," as we passed Victoria's Secret. He went on to say, "If my daughter EVER came home with a receipt from that place I would blow a fuse and be really upset. Young girls have no business in places like that!" What a change in him (not that I have a problem with Victoria's Secret per se, but he always thought that my parents were way too strict about movie content and other things--now he thinks its great!).
Oh man, Hannah. I'll definitely be praying for you. As much as bedrest must stink, it's for the best cause ever. I have faith that the Lord will bring you and your little orange through this safely!

Due on Pascha, but babygirl might be arriving in less than two weeks. Prodromal labour. However, she flipped last night. Mama is not happy about that. I've been dealing with PUPPPs and it's miserable. I'm ready.

Big hugs to you!!
Are you still having prodromal symptoms? Has the doctor given you anything for the PUPPP?I so feel for you! I'm about ready too. I was in hospital the previous Sunday as I had brownish spotting at 33 weeks. They released me later in the afternoon with a clear warning that I need to do less since I'm a bit of an old bird (they didn't say that but that was the gist of the advice). Spouse has been forced to actually do more now. If I stand up for too long the hick's get really strong and a little painful.
A Pasha baby would be sweet! New life on the day which is set aside to celebrate our new eternal life in Christ through His resurrection.

No more prodromal labour since she flipped. I've been breathing better and getting stuff done though. Some of the kids have been sick, so it was probably good she flipped. I just hope she isn't breach (she's back vertical again, but I can't tell which direction).

I'm so ready to pop this baby out. She has been sitting on my pelvis and has been completely dropped down for almost 2 weeks now even though my cervix is completely closed. OUCH!! I'm having a C-section in 3 weeks... I don't even get to experience the joys of labor...but I get to experience the pre-pains. Crazy!!

I'm two weeks behind you and sometimes baby gets into a position to where it's really awkward to walk. Sleep went weeks ago. As soon as I get past 37 weeks I'm going to get a tiny bit more active again so that baby will come earlier than later
