Lol Sally that's what i thought!!!
Kass disappeared and hasn't been chatty as much, and you're away and Jo is of course busy with lil Sophie - who btw jo, sounds like a right lil angel! :)
And i just have 'stare at the screen, don't have the patience for words so i give up' preggie brain!!
Trini - are you doing midwifery / med sci or something of the like?? You mentioned "placement" and now im curious!
ive been out shopping yaaaaaaay lol
Ah good luck for tonight Jess i hope it all goes well
LOL Sally i was thinking the same as you & Ash, its quiet because your not here :lol::P;), by the time you come back we'll be onto another thread haha
Ash- so far shes an angel feeding every 3-5hrs (but goes no more than 5hrs) and she sleeps between feeds, the last 3 days shes enjoyed her bath as before she'd scream once i put her in the water but now shes wondering whats going on and is alot more alert. Her eyes have pretty much cleared up im still cleaning them every feed but stopped using the eye drops on Tuesday as the chemist said to use them for 5days max if they helped. Although i'm busy with Sophie its only when its feed & bath time, i try to nap when she does sometimes i do other times i just watch tv or try and log on here to atleast read posts.
Jess- nice of you to pop in havent seen you in here in a few days although i havent been in here much myself.
Hey jo, yeah i know my DS havent been well the last few days. so he has just been wanting cuddles all the time. Glad to hear you're lil girl is doing well.
we have an inspection on tues an im crapping myself sooo im gunna clean the carpets myself with those one u get at coles.
then i am looking @ another house tomrrow @ 2.15 so we r gunna walk it insted of getting a lift of my sis its abt 20mins so its no biggie...but we cant move till may as thats when we will have the $$ together to move out which has bummed me out
Jess- if you lived closer to me Id drop off my carpet steam cleaner, I used to work for the company & they gave the workers all the old ones.
im getting Dh do it altho he doesnt know it lol Ash was such a good boy today so proud he followed this older lady was so cute lol
DF was supposed to do my car last weekend coz a bottle of turps leaked in there, and he still hasnt done it. GRRR!!!! I cant do it coz he always has the car when Im home
i got an appt for my hubbys Tax tonight @ 8pm and i bet he goes nuts.
he didnt sound impressed and grrrrrr @ him so not happy jan
Ugh. I'm exhausted.
Last night is the longest i've slept through in ages but im so freaking tired today.
Going for nap.
and migraine and stiff neck. jeezus i haven't done anything today except walk from the train station to he hospital for my check up and back. that's nothing!
good excerise lol
sorry i was out shopping :D yay
Im studying nursing but was doing an acute placement in a small country town hospital which means I got to nurse in all areas including midwifery but im hoping to pick up midwifery next year :D
Oh wow that's awesome :)
Nursing is on my list of 'maybe' for the things i *might* do if and when i *eventually* get back to uni. :lol:
Took on chemistry in year 12, having not done any other science since year nine - because i wanted to do chiropractic - but failed chemistry (:() so didn't even apply for chiro! Then started in Arts/Ed as i wanted to become an English teacher & got bored of that, transferred to Behavioural Science (a more scientific, less social based psychology), couldn't get into one of the classes i wanted so dropped out. Then started a course in Entertainment Business Management which was a full fee course that would have cost me 12k/year, & had to drop it on census date because i got told i might have glandular fever, and it was the best option 'just in case'. Then, well "this" happened, so who knows where to go from here.
Anyhow, don't know why i felt the need to have a ramble about uni there, but i did. I napped, i've woken up weaker than i felt before. Now i'm trying to track down an Australian Version of a French Recipe that i adore, but as i'm cheap & stingy i'm yet to buy the cookbook i first saw it in and can never find anything, quite, comparable on the net!
lol i love the nursing course but the 1st year was very very hard :p but i just scrapped by! i hated the chemistry part & failed the first time of trying but i got a second chance... i think you should do nursing & im sure you would love it coz its sooo interesting!
What cookbook where u after?
i don't know! i think it's a deborah hay one.
my old housemates owned it. man they swiped so much of my stuff while i was in the process of movnig out, now i wish i had of taken the darn cookbook. :lol:
Anyhow...
damn that sux...but yeah you so should have kept the cook books :D they are always great to have!
Awww yay Jess would of had her baby by now (well one would hope anyway) :D wow is mighty quiet in here tonight & all day today
Trini - it depends whether she reacted to the gels or not (fingers crossed)- she has to have started having contractions naturally. & keep in mind most first labours have an average first stage of 12-15 hours ;)
Otherwise she'll have the drip in the morning to start the contractions.
Good luck Jess (although its probably a bit late!!)
OMG im fully sitting here at the computer screen bawling my eyes out!! i feel so YUK! And lonely. And i need some one to talk to but DP is at work and in a feral mood and i dont think ill get to talk to him before i go to sleep. And i dont really have any friends that im close enough with to just call them up and talk to them.
Hope every one else is going good :) i might just go lay in bed and continue my crying.
Ash - i know that they can take awhile coz another younger girl i saw had been in labour for like 19 hours until the bubs finally come but the bub ddnt seem to be stressing or anything :D
Meg - yeah im good good atm :)
Awwww Meg, sorry to hear you are feeling down. I felt really down last night and I was having a little cry but fortunately I had hubby here with me, so he came over to cuddle for a while and I felt so much better. Maybe you should have a chat to your DP anyway... might make you feel better before you go to sleep?
:hug: Meg hope u feeling better, does ur DP work nights?
Emma, are u going for ur scan tomorrow? im still thinking girl!!
hope all is going well for Jess
Meg, vent away hun ;)
well not much going on here. have my sis's baby shower on saturday so doing cooking 4 that, cooked Em some dairy free rusks, got some typing to do for the footy club and got some printing to do 4 playgroup. hmmmmm not a lot of time to do all that!!! can do all the typing tomorrow tho, and my sis's cake can b late 2morrow night and ice in the morning ;)
Hi Blanche - Yep, I have my scan tomorrow mid-morning. I'm so pleased that I don't have to drink as much water this time!! I think it's going to be a girl... I'll be a little sad if it is but I guess in all fairness we have a girl's name picked out already and haven't been able to decide on a boy's name!! :D
goodluck, where abouts are u having the scan? i was so glad i only had to drink a glass of water for my last u/s better that a litre!!
Meg- sorry to hear you were feeling down yesterday, vent away dont hold back were hear to listen or just a place for you to get things off your chest.
Emma- all the best at your scan, cant wait to hear how it went.
Jess- sorry to hear your DS has been unwell. Good luck with cleaning the carpets. DP had a look at what rentals are available yesterday, said he wants a backyard for Sophie (i reminded him shes only 2 weeks old and doesnt need 1 just yet haha) but secretly i think he wants the backyard because he wants a dog.
Ali- you sound like you'll be pretty busy today & tomorrow dont run yourself into exhaustion take your time.
Well as i said my parents & sister arrive tomorrow sometime in the afternoon depending what time dad decides hes leaving. So i have to make up the spare bed, blow up the air mattress. Later on this morning sometime between 10.30-11.00 i'm going out meeting up with mrsr & westy from BB, mrsr is picking me up very nice of her go out for a while they have to leave by 1.30 to pick their kids up from school so i'll get out of the house for a while.
Going to be a dairy cow & then shower and get Sophie ready.
Morning everyone!
Blanche - I'm having the scan at the local radiology clinic in Midland (Victoria Street Radiology). They weren't too bad last time. I'm a bit sad that Luke can't come with me this time, it would have been nice for him to see bub again as well. Last night in bed he put his hands on my tummy again and said "Is it moving yet?" Poor hubby!!
aww thats a shame he cant be there, do u get a dvd and pics from that one? at least if u get the dvd he can watch the whole thing at home! tell him dont worry he will get booted soon by jellybean!!!
goodluck today anyways
Jo - have a great day dont wear urself out to much sounds like ur going to have a full on day!
Ali - oooo what are you cooking for the baby shower?
Blanche - I didnt have to drink any water for my last US (at 13 weeks) which was good coz 1 I dont like water & 2 the place I was getting my scan done was an hour away from my place, I cant not go to the toilet for 2 hours at the moment
hey everyone, ive been spying on bellybuddies threads again...
so hopefully there'll be an announcement floating around soon!:

CONGRATS JESS!!!!! welcome to the world Jaylen!
