Happy Birthday Oscar!!!! Am sending you so much strength & courage Michelle to get through this bittersweet day.
Love Jayne
PS _ Have updated my 'other' thread.
Michelle - More massive hugs babe... I wish I could say more. A big happy birthday to Oscar!
Jayne - Thinking of you.
Janie - Good luck with the test results... although I'd hate for there to be something that comes up... it would be good for you to have some answers.. iykwim??
Mako - Hope you're haing a better day today too... it's a long, painful journey and it's just not fair.
Nothing new from us... just getting a bit lonely again and desperately need some more friends but don't really have the energy to be out there making them!!! We went to the zoo yesterday and had an amazing day... but it's still hard having to do it all on our own. At least Luke is getting some good one on one time with me before the baby comes!

Jayney Jayne Jayne - :hug:
Kelly - I understand. I haven't moved to a new city (which kinda makes it a bit more depressing really :think:) but I am feeling very lonely too. I have a few friends close by but no one ever has enough time. It's hard and very isolating :hug:
Kelly - I wish you were here too honey, but I have to keep everything completely 'normal'. I don't want anybody knowing my business just yet. I have to be able to process this on my own & figure myself out mentally before I can tell anybody. I just need to have my own headspace figured out before I can tell anybody. That's even if I do decide to tell anybody. Nothing will be changing much for the next year at least, I know that much.
WILLOW _ I'm hearing you loud & clear on the 'isolated' front. Can you imagine if we all lived in the same suburb!!! Geepers we'd have some fun.
Well I'm off to walk Banjo Boy after Claudia finishes her grapes. Jessica has a birthday party to attend this afternoon so at least my day is very busy to distract me.
Love Jayne
As much fun as it would be if we all lived in the same place, I can't see many of us getting much housework done! Of course, I'm now feeling a little guilty as I'm less than 20 minutes from Willow... Now that I've stopped working again I do actually have time to catch up - just need to wait until the household is a little less infectious. In the last 5 weeks we've had all of one week where Sam hasn't been either sick or teething, and I think he's both at the moment. I'm feeling horrid as I think I've caught his sore throat bug... can't speak or swallow and it's just horrid! I ache all over and it's so hard dealing with the sick and miserable baby when you yourself are sick and miserable. Fortunately DH is home today and he took him for a drive to give me some space and a rest.
Michelle... thinking of you today :hug:

Kelly, I would love to invite myself over to your place tomorrow, but DS1 has been sick, and although I thought he was well and truly recovered this morning, he has gone downhill this afternoon :(. Are you free Friday? I could even see if the girls want to meet at a playcentre or something (if you didn't feel up to having us all at your place).
Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't been in for so long, just been very busy of late!
Michelle - happy birthday to Oscar!! I hope Oscar has a lovely birthday although I know it must be so very hard for you. I think of you all the time hun. Not that it helps at all, but I do think of you xx
Jayne - I have just caught up on your other thread. OMG, you poor thing!! I am so impressed at how coolly you are handling it though, it is definitely for the best, especially with the girls to think of. I am just so impressed that you are managing to do it! I would probably have flown off the handle flinging accusations around right from the outset, but the way you are handling it is much much better. I am so glad to hear you are all clear. I went through a similar thing (although not nearly as awful as what you are going through) but I remember how angry I was at having to get tested because of the idiot I was dating (and had been for quite some time!). Thankfully all was fine, but it is not a nice thing to have to do. How are you managing chatting to Alan on the phone? Can you manage to sound normal? It must be very very hard.
mako - sorry to hear you sounding down hun. I find the lead up to an EDD very hard to handle as well hun, and some are harder than others, so can understand what you are going through. Hugs hun xx
Inana - how are things going now hun? Was court just a one off last week or is it continuing? I wish I could make some good news come your way.
Kelly - I can totally understand the isolation of being in a new place and not having the energy to get out and about. I got preggers with DS soon after moving to Vic and found that as I was spewing so often, I really couldn't get out much at all, and was reluctant to contact the few friends I had made because I was afraid of spewing up all over them and them not wanting to be friends for very long!! Hugs hun. I will actually be in Melb again next week (from Thurs to Sun again) but I don't know where we will be staying this time or when I will be free. DH has a medical in the city on the Fri morning and that's about all I know at this stage. Would love to catch up if we can organise something.
Hi to everyone else. Again, sorry I haven't been in much, it is just so hard to get on the puter these days! We are chugging along as usual, kids are great and sleeping ok too. I am still worried about my sister who is not handling the break up with her partner well at all. I wish I could help more. DH is off to the US again in a couple of weeks and will be gone for three weeks this time. I am dreading it!!
Hi Ladies,
Just letting you know in advance to NOT freak out when I go MIA for a while. I'm completely sane (well mostly! LOL), just that my computer needs repairs so it's off to the shop tomorrow.
I ate dinner tonight! Small woo hoo but I still ate. I have only eaten dinner once over the past 5 nights, bad I know, but if you can't eat, you can't eat. But Jess had a birthday party after school & I ate dinner there. Not sure how long it'll stay inside my gut, but at least I ate. Everything I eat just goes completely straight through me, within a good half-hour.
I'm off to get the girls ready for bed.
Thanks again to such beautiful women for all their support. You truly are the best.
Love Jayne
Michelle - Happy Birthday to Oscar. I hope Oscar shed a little light and sunshine on your day..hugs
Sorry I haven't around much, I am reading. Feeling lonely and stuck in the stay at home mummy rut atm.
Love to all
Oh Michelle I am not going to pretend I remembered today was Oscar's birthday but I will blame the FWEXH for his antics today for taking me far away from thoughts of things that are important. I am so sorry it's taken all day for it to twig. Happy birthday Oscar beautiful boy. Happy birthing day Michelle. :hug: :happybirthday: I know it's a bittersweet day & I just feel so rotten that it escaped my mind until now. I hope that you both had as lovely day as you can being your first without Greg. I send you all my love & I am truly sorry... :hug:
Parallel lives Bek, parrallel lives.:
Feeling lonely and stuck in the stay at home mummy rut atm.
:hug:
Michelle: I've been thinking if you and your darling big boy Oscar today. :happybirthday: to your gorgeous boy. I hope today you managed a smile and didn't feel too much sadness. You have beautiful children and you shoud know that you are an amazing Mum. Greg would be so proud.
Thanks girls :grouphug: Today has been a rough one. Oscar has had a good day and was spoilt with lots of gifts. I got to spend a few quiet hours of reflection this evening thinking about *stuff* and trying hard to remember the good things. Especially as today was also our 8th wedding anniversary. So many hopes and dreams and plans now shattered to dust. So much re-building to do. I miss him so very much and I know it isn't going to get any easier until all of these firsts are over with. Only then might we be able to enjoy our life with only moments of bittersweet regret and remembrance rather than tears at every turn.
But we are ok. I have (almost) three beautiful earth babies and two very special angels to watch over us. This is our new life and we must deal with it piece by piece. Your love and support will help us get through to the other side and to the path we are meant to walk *mwah*
Michelle - I'm so glad Oscar had a good day and was spoilt rotten.. god knows he deserves it! What a tough day.. Oscar's birthday and your wedding anniversary.. I'm so proud of you for getting through it... of course there's going to be a heap of tears but you're dealing with it all with such clarity and strength. Greg would be one seriously proud guy looking down on you. You're right, this year... full of 'firsts' will be extremely difficult and there are so many more tears to be shed but it will get easier.. in a strange way.. you just somehow 'adjust'. I'm thinking of you constantly and it's put a whole new perspective on life for me.
Janie - Thanks so much hun... life over here would be even harder without you and our catch ups!! I can't thank you enough. I don't have anything on Friday and would love to catch up.. only if you guys are feeling up to it. I hope N is feeling better today and I hope D doesn't come down with it! We've been so lucky.. DH is the only one that's had a bit of a cold... touch wood!! Anyway let me know about Friday.. I'm happy meet wherever!
Jayne - Hugs.
Deb - Hugs.. I still can't believe what you're going through right now, life is a very strange place sometimes and I'm praying that things 'turn around' for you.
Bek & Willow - Hugs.. I've been feeling a bit the same lately.. not working anymore and having another bub on the way (so definitely no more work for me for a while) is challenging!!
Bun - Let us know when you have more of an idea about where you're staying and when you're free.. if we can make it... we'll be there for sure!!
BW - Hope you're feeling a bit better.
Well... it's daycare day today... woo hoo!!! I feel terrible sometimes but I just LOVE daycare day.. it's my only saviour sometimes, I really just miss being able to pop in to Mum's for a little rest, so daycare is all I have! But.. it also means so much work.. getting the house cleaned, the shopping done etc etc. Although I cheated this week and used Coles online for the first time... wow.. it's brilliant. Will be doing that a lot more!!!! So now today is just getting the housework done and cleaning up. Hopefully there will be time for some rest.. I'm so tired. It's my Mum's birthday today too... so feeling a bit sad that we're missing it. They're all going out to dinner tonight. Oh well... gotta get used to that.

kelly - I just noticed the cute little bump on your avatar - it's gorgeous!
Awwww... I didn't notice it... how exciting!! Kinda looks like my bump already... LOL!!!
My tests results came back all clear..........I was kind of expecting something to show up there, so I'm a bit thrown. I just want to KNOW dammit! Off to the GP tomorrow anyway, so will chat about testing thyroid function.
