Janie - I currently have a freezer full of food that has been gifted to us and I was very grateful today when I could just put something in the oven to heat for the little ones. It is something I hope will continue after Omar is here but in the short term I like cooking too and a slow cooker meal with mash or homemade soup is comfort food at the moment. As for me, no appetite tonight and nothing tastes any good either so I am a little ho hum about food. I would love your company any time though :hug:
More :hug: Michelle.
Jayne I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's baby girl..So so sad :hug:
Us Sydney girls will make sure it does Michelle! I'm sure lots of your other friends will do the same. :hug::
It is something I hope will continue after Omar is here
Well i definitely wish i was there to spend time with you, that would be fantastic. I'm guessing the need for adult company is bigger than anything sometimes.
I know you will Willow :hug:
Janie - adult conversation is critical. There is only so much toddler talk you can do!!!
Michelle - Be careful what you wish for, I might just be swinging past your place with a suitcase in the next week or so! *Wink* How are you feeing today? How are the 'monsters'???
I have a sore throat, sore ears & overall feeling like crap. Mum called me at work today saying Claudia is gagging on her food, has a temp & is coughing like she is a smoker from way back when. & Jess is still complaining of stomach cramps after having gastro. Can it get any more fun in my place??
Just a quick question to Willow - What does little Miss V weigh? Jessica is looking like a skeleton these days. I know she is naturally thin & very tall, but I can count her ribs & when she bend over her spine sticks out like a dinosaur skeleton. Lol. I weighed her in a tracksuit & she was only 20.1kg. She is 5y7m. She just looks very gaunt these days. I'm worrying.
Jayne that sounds around about fine... My Eva is about 22kgs... at 6 years.
I have my Lucy with yet another bout of tonsillitis I think... :wall:
I have Divvy & her boys coming tomorrow afternoon for a 2 night stay! I am so excited! She's been such a good friend and support to me - I'm looking forward to having her with us.
Michelle I hope your day was okay after such a sleepless night. :comfort:
Jayne - go with your feelings right now, feel them, name them and let them go. Your feelings will change each moment. :hug:
Inanna, I am so excited for you!!!! Divvy is hysterical :rofl: Have you met her IRL before? Hope you guys have a blast :D I'm missing chatting to you too lovely, I think of you ALL THE TIME. I will be eternally grateful for all your support and advice this year :hug:
Jayne, I'm sorry things are sucking so badly right now, hope you're all on the mend soon.
Michelle, I so badly want to come and visit you. I keep trying to think of ways to do it. Planning on trying to get up there with D-man at some stage, though it probably won't be too soon :(
Janie - I was looking at ways to do a day trip to Melbourne when Miss Jayne was to be visiting ;) It may still be an option.
Jayne - you can land on my doorstep anytime :hug:
Hi Ladies, I just wanted to pop in and let you know that my scan today went well. Bub was measuring a few days ahead. I have to go in for another ultrasound in 2 weeks. I am feeling slightly relieved but there is still a long way to go. We are now past the point where Parker and Shelby started to show signs of IUGR.
Janie, sorry that you didn't get an answer after all of your tests. It is a good thing that they didn't find anything but I know how frustrating it is to not have that answer.
mako, sorry that af showed up. :hug: How are you feeling?
Michelle, I think of you everyday.
Jayne, so sorry to read about your friends baby girl.
Hi to everyone else. I think Grayson is up to something in the other room.
MICHELLE _ YOU have just made my ENTIRE century by looking at coming to Melbs when we will be there. Dependent on how my situation turns out, my mother might be coming in Alan's place. LOL. Thankfully for me, the entire trip is already paid for. We are staying at Mantra on the Park if you wanted to stay close - just so I can come & sneak cuddles with George at any time I want. heheeh
Well, it could be a very real possibility that I snap up a cheapie flight for a few days next week - will just have to see how 'things' go.
Claudia is unwell today. Temp of 39.2 all night. Thankfully she now tells me she likes Panadol as I was fresh out of Nurofen. She is coughing & coughing & coughing this delightful crackly cough that sounds as though she will vomit with it soon. I have just given her some Benadryl & I have the heater on & she is still in her pj's, so hopefully a jimmy-jammy day does the trick. I think she is brewing tonsilitis again as she is having a hard time swallowing, even yoghurt. Will just keep an eye.
Thanks Deb, I feel a bit better about Jess now. She just looks overly thin, or maybe it's just cos I'm overly fat!!! I haven't seen my ribs in freaking years. :rofl: Oooh it sounds as though you have a wonderful 2 nights ahead of you! You're going to have a great time, I can see you hooting with laughter & having a smashing time already!! Lock up the wine glasses. hehehe You haven't mentioned Immy in a while, how is she doing? No word from Ruby?
LANEY _ Congrats on such a great scan love, I'm sure it's a load off your mind. hehhe, what antics was Grayson up to???
Well I best be off & tidy up the house a bit, after us all being a big blergh for the last couple of days, sadly now the house is a bit blergh as well.
Love Jayne x
Hi lovelies,
Quickie - Michelle and Jayne - lack of brain function with me, but when will you both potentially be in Melbourne - as I'm contemplating a little trip over the water myself!!! Would love to meet you Melbourne girls xoxo
Lee x
OMG... how exciting!!! It would be sooooo wonderful for a few more of you to head to Melbourne when Jayne is here... Woop Woop!!! You've all made my day.. I hope it all happens!!!
Sorry, no time for personals, my computer battery is running low and it's going to cut out any minute!! We've just had a nice chat to my Mum on Skype.. god I love technology these days... makes it so much easier me being over here.
All going well with us... just tired but otherwise all wonderful!!! Having a few money issues atm.. and have a very big OB bill coming up... so a little stressful. Think we have to find a cheaper house to rent, which means moving house JUST before the baby comes. Not ideal but I don't think we have a choice. I soooo over worrying about it all.
Kel xxxx
LEE _ I'm in Melbourne from 28 Sept til 5 Oct. We are going to Mary Poppins on 3 Oct so that day is out, but OMG I am having heart palpitations at the very thought of you coming as well!!!
KEL _ Sorry bout the financial drama's, I hear exactly where you're coming from. Do you think you could shift some payments around to help out? Just a thought? Can't think of anything worse than packing up a house when a baby is on the way.
Off to walk Banjo with Claudia int he pram, has been pouring all night & the sky is a lovely shade of grey, but the poor boy is desperate for a walk.
Love Jayne x
Jayney - My Miss V is probably not a very good measure. She is a very slim little girl, always has been. I weighed her about 2 months ago and she was only about 18.5/19kg. I can see her entire ribcage, spine etc too. If Miss J is happy, eating well and active, I wouldn't stress about it. I was a little worried at the time because my GP was prescribing her Ab's and said to me 'so she'd weigh about 25kg?' :o Erm, no. But like I said, she has always been on the more petite side so I don't worry much about it. Hoping this means she won't take after either of her parents! LOL.
BBL...
Jayne - I wish we didn't have to move but we really can't keep up this rent.. atm we're getting rent assistance from DH's work as part of the relocation but when that runs out... it's just going to be too hard. We were hoping that we'd be able to manage but with another bub on the way and me not working... it's not going to happen. I just wish we could get out of our lease here and move NOW but that's not going to happen either... so we'll just have to deal with it. Oh and I booked a flight back to Perth on September 12 too... so maybe a chance for another catch up before your trip over here!!! Will keep you posted!!!

Hi sorry I haven't been in for a few days. 1 crazy lady lives here lol. I've started taking Clomid and I'd forgotten about some of the side effects it can cause :( Oh well hopefully things settle down soon. DH and I are going away tomorrow for the weekend and leaving Sage with his Grandparents. I know he'll be fine and will have a wonderful time but I feel guilty for not taking him with us. Even DH said last night he feels bad for not taking him but with what we are doing its really not a toddler friendly weekened. Oh well next time we go somewhere we'll be taking him for sure.
Oh and we're not camping lol. We are staying in a motel for a change lol. Its going to be nice to do the drive without towing a camper trailer or boat hahaha.
Kelly I'm sorry to hear things are a little tight on the money front atm. We know all to well how tough things can be when there isn't enough money coming in or way too much going out. We struggle with that most of the time but we do get there eventually. I hope you can find a new place to move too sooner rather than later too :hug:
Good to hear that you can feel bub moving now too. How are you going with names?
Jayne I think of you often hun. I wish I could change things for you right now :hug: How is Curly? I hope she's feeling a bit better now. How is Jess doing? Is she still swimming?
Michelle How are you doing hun. I hope you are all over that yucky illness that swept through your place :hug:
Laney WOOHOO on a great scan. I'm so happy for you. Oh and a very Happy Belated 1st Birthday to Grayson for earlier this month. I hope he had a wonderful day :)
Ok I should get off here and start packing.
Hi to Deb,Willow,Lisa,Janie,Bun,Spring and Lee. I hope everyone is ok.
