totally jealous SD, enjoy the sun....mind you if I went to Queensland at this point I would have to keep a close eye out for greenpeace incase they try to save this poor beached whale by rolling me back in to the sea!!!!!
have fun
Blizz - you are a crack up! Glad to have you SMSing me.
SD - sorry, in rereading that question to you it did sound a bit interrogative. You can blame the syranel or my stressful life if you like - or just that I am nosy! I was just curious about you that's all, and how you had started down this path. I'd love to hear more about you if you feel it's not invading your privacy.
Time away sounds wonderful - I hope you and your partner enjoy the time away.
Tarkine - poor wussy cat - grease in the fur sounds horrible! Ouchy on your joints! Oh - as a Moderator I give you my express permission to talk about all aspects of your life - because it all relates back to donor conception, doesn't it? (and gee, don't I sound full of my own self importance! )
Cuddlepie - that does sound really hard. I can't believe a FS was so petulant! Surely you have the right to seek treatment elsewhere if the current one doesn't feel right?
Hi Joy, Lieve and MinnieMouse!
As for me - updated the blog again. Quick synopsis: I'm going to a BB meetup tonight (yay), having a sad day tomorrow seeing our friend with terminal cancer, then medical tests on Monday.
I've also decided that if the Principal decides I am the one to go then I am ready to go. I just hope the school I end up with has reasonably decent kids, a staff that is team orientated (with me included in that team), a HT that is organised and supportive, and a management staff that values what I do. I may even drop the STLA willingness to teach, and go back to teaching straight English and History - what I was originally trained in. Something to think about. (that second paragraph wasn't really quick, was it? )
Gargy, gotta love that synarel for getting you out of bed early on a Saturday morning!!!!!
(noticed the time of your post)
I wish I could sleep in but between
-the blonde alarm clock smacking me on the check at 5:30 saying "you awake mummy?" then after lifting her in to my bed to watchi cartoons I get the cold feet kicking me in the belly and pushing and poking in a very uncomfortable way....then progressing to "GET OUT MUMMY!!!.....GET OUT MUMMY!!!!!) when she has had enough
and
feeling sooooooo incredibly uncomfortable with the sorest hips, being only able to sleep an hour on one side then an hour on the other.....the waking up and not being able to get comfortable enough to get back to sleep.
and guess what???????????????????? it is my sincerest wish that you too will get all of these fun and games at the end of this cycle
My wish for all of my good friends in DCS xxxxxxxxxxx
love to you all
I am off to try and organise the final stages of project laundry and should hopefully be finished with tradies and have the whole project complete by next weekend.

gargy - I really hope that if you do move, you do go to a better school - You never know that it could be a blessing in disguise!
Go syneral for getting up early! While I'm not sleeping, my shoulders are sore as anything and I'm grumpy and tired, I still feel extremely blessed that there was a donor out there who donated sperm, so we could experience all the joys of having children. I'm watching AC/DC live in concert, while waiting for DH to get back from the hardware shop with more paint (I know I'm crazy painting with shoulders that are really sore) but I won't have many more days when I can climb a ladder to finish off the painting. If I left it up to DH, it would never get done!! Love him to pieces but sometimes would love to slap him around with a wet kipper!!
Blizz - just wait til you have two of them jumping into bed to watch cartoons!! Sounds wonderful (except for the slapping in the head!).
nothing has changed here still trucking.....thought I may have burst my waters this morning with being sick but nope still intact.
Have been to local furniture store this morning to chase up my new washing machine and dryer...they rang me yesterday to say that the one that had arrived was damaged, they noticed it when it was being loaded on the truck, so I told them not to bother delivering it as we would like a new undamaged one thanks for coming so they searched around for a replacement from another store and it arrived first thing this morning and when DH checked it before they got it off the truck...it had all of the plastic panel smashed like it had been hit with a hammer, the poor delivery guy said it was like that when they loaded it on the truck and the dryer also had a small dent in the door( they didn't give me a phone call this morning though!!!!) as well so we sent it back and went in to see them and they are supposedly in the process of trying to track us down another one to be delivered this afternoon...believe it when I see it.
We have the plumber booked in for tomorrow to install all of the outlets so it had better be here at least by first thing tomorrow....It shouldn't be so hard!!!!!
Laundry is looking great if we can ever get it finished....will post before and after photos when we finally get there.
on a brighter note went for a trip to a local toweling factory outlet and brought a whole bathroom set full of new towels in matching colours for $97 so that was 4 bath sheets, 4 bath towels, 4 hand towels, four face washers and two bath mats (as well as two huge boxes of toweling rags for DH).......I love bargain shopping.
love to all,
I've probably just learnt life's greatest lesson... you never know what's around the corner! After mixed messages from doctors, FSs and nurses, and a ****tail of conflicting results it now turns out the DH has a sperm or two that appear to be useable! God bless the FS who hunted high and low until he exhausted all avenues. It's been a very weird few weeks, from being at the absolute bottom of a dark and hopeless place, to trying to process what our reality appeared to be and make some positive headway along the donor path, to doing a complete U-turn and finding out we are still in with a chance. We had a counselling appointment last week which was sorely needed. I know I should be really happy, and I'm sure I will be as soon as I can get my head around all the events of the past 4 months. It's all taken a bigger toll than I realised, and i'm just a bit numb... whereas DH is floating on clouds!
So, a very long way to go but I start my first IVF-ICSI cycle as soon as AF arrives... and I can't wait.
Anyway, I'm still going to hang around this thread for a bit although for now it looks like we don't need to use a donor, I just feel connected to you all, your support has been (and I'm sure still will be) incredible and I want to follow your amazing journeys. Though I'm sure I'll see you in other LTAC threads too.
Blizz - is there anything you're doing that's NOT intended to bring on early labour????
Gargy - how's your week been - hope it hasn't been as full-on as last week and you're closer to 'the light at the end of the tunnel'.
Lieve - hang in there.. it only takes one sperm and one egg to make a baby!!
murphy's law strikes again!! my reason for returning to work in February was to guarantee that I would fall pregnant in 2008 (crazy logic I know) and I did.. Well it seems to be the way my life goes.. plan for x and y happens!!
Blizz - wonder woman!! Bargain towels (sounds great!).. I think if we had #2, bubs would have to be suspended from the ceiling!! (our house is 7.5 squares!)
gargy - hun.. thinking of you sweetie.. hope the syneral/IVF rollercoaster is being kind to you.
Well my shoulders are still hurting.. went to see dralion (circ de solia - spelling?) - got free tickets from virgin due to all the flying that DH is doing - loved the show, highly recommend going to see it - there are so many talented people out there - absolutely incredible!! although DH flew in at 7pm and it started at 7.30pm - thank goodness traffic was kind to us!!
yay...we have a space for bubba....after a full afternoon's cleaning we have finally made it to clearing a space for this bubba (tiny though the space may be) unfortunatley he won't be able to have his own room for a while and I really don't want to risk waking Paige up over night so we have fitted the cot in to a small alcove in the hallway which is where he will sleep overnight and I will put a cradle in to Paige's room for his daytime sleeps.
I am a bit embarrassed to post any pictures of it because it is such an unusual space for a baby but in all honesty Paige was well and truely over one before she even looked at going in to her bedroom to play and by this stage the two children will need to share a room for a little while anyway.
supposed to be getting our replacement, replacement washing machine first thing in the morning hopefully it will beat the plumber that we have booked.
Have midwife appointment in the morning as well then Paige will go to daycare so I might go accessory shopping for the laundry and bathroom it is sooooooo much easier without Paige in tow
