Almost viable!

Things are hectic... New bubba is hanging in there. I'm 23 weeks, 3 days today. I didn't have amino but have had extra scans which have all been normal so far! We have a little boy growing in there! Next scan is in 2 days to get a better look at the heart. If that's normal then likelihood is that bub is fine (but the docs are very careful to say they cannot guarantee this). My mum passed away on 23rd Nov... 5 weeks after my last post. that ended a very stressful period in our lives, juggling a new job, hubby's job, a toddler, setting up in a new house ( we are still on concrete floors and haven't finished painting) all while trying to be at the hospital as much as possible. Now things have settled down into our "new normal" and we are just missing mum. Every day. Bubba's routine went out the window so now we are battling sleep issues, and having the occasional sleepless night where she is just up for hours! Hope it doesn't last long!! Hubby has developed severe carpal tunnel syndrome so is having surgery this Thursday on one hand, then the next one in early feb... In the hope he will be all healed up before bubba #2 arrives. As for me... Pregnancy sucks! I re- developed nausea at about 20 weeks, felt like I was back in the first trimester. Now I have a bad cold with a terribly sore throat, coughing and blowing and snorting green stuff (its just disgusting), a constant headache and now conjunctivitis as well. I look very attractive (not). The pharmacist wouldn't give me anything other than paracetamol, but now I have antibiotics from the dr so am hoping that sorts me out quick. So that's where we're at...
