Oh my goodness! My DD1 is 16 next Saturday...where did my baby go?????
I get so exhausted with all 7 on my own...my XDH has our two girls 1 night a week and then has our little man the next night...so other than that it is all me.
Nic I am glad the traffic light is working...I think it is something I will try on my two little DD's.
Kim staying in hospital with your LO is just exhausting...I have done it many times too.
I am glad you are home and hope all went well and your DD is ok.
Hi Rachel...welcome sounds like you are busy
Congrats on bub #4...I hope all goes smoothly.
I have 7 children...dd1 - 16, ds1 - 14, ds2 - 10, ds3 - 8, dd2 - 3, dd3 - 2 and ds4 - 1.
I have close and far age gaps..my closest are my last three. 11mths between dd2 and dd3 and 13mths between dd3 and ds4...so 24 mths between the three...so I kind of understand how busy you are!
Well we went away this weekend to the beach, kids had a ball. We need to do this more often as they grow up so quickly. Monday tomorrow it all starts again school, homework,ect.
lol thanks guys. I don't feel like a more like a failure lately. DF isn't happy about the house, the money, the kids or me and I'm copping all the flak. I'm getting depressed and I can feel it but I just can't do anything to stop it. I was trying for a VBAC with this baby but now that I have GD I've been told I HAVE to have continuous monitoring, I have to have 2 drips in (insulin and glucose), that I have to have more internals to make sure I'm progressing and that baby will end up in NICU. All this extra stress is not doing me any good but I don't know what I can do to change it. Also we are having money problems. DF's bestie left us with huge bills and gave us nothing towards them, then moved out when we asked for rent. I have to do cord blood storage for this bubs incase she shows diabetic markers and that is $3000 and now our fridge has packed it in and we don't have the money to either fix it or get another one. AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH I'm so over everything. I need a good luck fairy and very soon
Thanks ladies. I'm feeling sort of better today. Still sleep deprived as I'm doing the 2am and 4am blood tests for Meara with her insulin pump (still trying to get right dosage calibration) but her and Kaylee are off to preschool today so will have a sleep and I don't care if it is all day lol.
Cathie - I to wished you lived closer, I hadn't realised how lonely I was until I realised that I have no one to phone and whinge to lol. Since moving to here I have been either pregnant or breastfeeding and so I haven't been able to join in any community groups like I used to. My bestie lives in Sydney and I have another close friend up here but she has MS and is unable to do much as it brings on a relapse. I seem to be stuck in the house all the time and I know that is not good. I might have to try the mothers group up here when Frogglette comes. The last one I went to they wouldn't even speak to me (stuck up sods lol)
zap - thanks for the hugs hun. I need them atm lol.
Well better get off here and get the girls ready for preschool. Then I can have some me time yay. Not that I can do much but it will be nice to have a quiet house. Take care ladies
Thanks Dianne I actually didn't get any sleep as I had a visitor come over (typical isn't it lol) but it was still an ok day.
I'm feeling better in myself which is good as I was starting to get worried about the depression. Last thing I need on top of pregnancy and trying for a vbac and having GD. I'm still up in the air about whether to just book another c/s or try for a vbac. I know the vbac will be easier afterwards but as we are doing the cord blood storage, I have been told that they can get more blood if it's a c/s. So now I don't know what to do. Will talk it over with the midwife on Wednesday I guess.
Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well, take care xxx
I'm going through one of our local hospitals and you don't see an ob unless there is something really wrong. I suppose I could ask to see one at a later appointment and then see what they say :musing: I'll try to get some info from my midwife though and then go from there. DF wants me to have another c/s but purely for his benefit the birth was easier on him :shakeshead: I'd like to try for the vbac but I also want what is best for this little one. I hate not knowing the answers lol
I had the growth ultrasound yesterday and Frogglette is doing well. She is on the 50th centile for everything so yay I might end up with a smaller baby. She was measuring at 2.56kg or 5lb 11oz at 34 weeks 3 days but they told me I was 35 weeks according to my 12 week scan. Not much of a difference though so I'm still ok with it. Her head was resting right on my cervix and has been for about a month now so I'm waddling about already lol. I did get to see a dr at my last appointment as the midwife was really busy and the dr told me that as I'm on insulin that I would be induced between 38 and 39 weeks That's only 4 weeks away. OMG I'm not ready lol. I hope the induction works and it doesn't lead to another c/s. I'm not actually looking forward to having this baby due to all the interventions I know I'm up for. Horrible isn't it???
I haven't been here in ages and after a quick look, it seems to be mostly new faces.
But...I've just fallen pregnant with my 8th baby so I'll be around a lot more. I didn't feel comfortable announcing it in the appropriate thread, so I thought I'd do it here instead.
Kim, I hope you get some rest, you are amazing.
