Hallo all,

Just thought I'd let you know how we're doing so far.

23 weeks, 3 days today:blush:. Everything looks good with the baby - her weight was calculated at 608g today which is a very respectable 48 on the centile charts (52% of other babies are bigger, 48% smaller, so basically perfect). She wriggles and kicks a lot:blush:

I'm very pleased to still be pregnant at this point, having spent several days in hospital with pre term labour. I'm now signed off 'sick' for the rest of the pregnancy with orders to rest as much as possible. Boring, but it will be worth it if I can hold her in at least for the next month.
DH has hurt his knee, so we are learning to be creative - internet grocery shopping for example!

Lupus wise everything is absolutely fine I think (except that I'm losing weight, not gaining, but, I have enough to spare).

So, basically everything is OK

Hugs to all

Hi Catharine

Lovely to hear such a positive update I've been wondering how the 3 of you are going I hope and pray that everything continues to look positive and you can hold onto her for much longer :thumbs: This is quite an exciting time for you both!

Internet shopping is becoming more and more a part of my life now - it's not so bad! You could always spend more time here whilst you are resting :lol:
