OMG Lee, you just took me back!!!!!!!!!! TURN baby TURN! I think I've said this to Michelle's babies before Sending you LOTS of turning vibes lovely xoxo
Bek - I am so sad to read your post. I will miss you. Please stay in touch OK? You have me on FB and you also have my home email address. I think I have your mobile number too. I really do understand how you are feeling, I really do. I have been contemplating the same, but I have so little company and support IRL I think it would do me more harm than good atm.
Just know that I"m here if you ever need to talk. I promise this will get easier. You will find yourself again, you're still in there somewhere, hiding amongst the sleep deprivation and nappies
Take care OK?
Michelle - Hope your feet are feeling better!
Kelly - Glad to hear your appt went well

Bek - I will miss you too... but totally understand where you are coming from. So sweet of you to be thinking of Michelle and I too... so would be great to hear from you from time to time (when you're checking up on us)!!!!
Michelle - OMG... I'm glad you're poor toes are ok!! LOL. And hope you're all getting used to the smell of moxa!!! Turn George Turn!!!! All the best hun!!
Willow - How are you?? You didn't tell us how you were going!!!
Janie - How are those boys of yours going?? Hope D managed to fight off the lurgies!!
Lee - Hope you're not coming down with anything and hope you manage to get a little bit of sleep!! I wish I lived closer.. I could sooooo do with one of your massages!!!
Deb - Hope you're doing ok.
Jayne - Massive, massive, massive hugs hun. Wish there was something I could say or do. Will definitely chat soon. Thinking of you constantly.
Mako - How are you holding up.. you're in my thoughts often too and I'm praying you get some great news soon... not sure where you're at with all that atm???
Bun - Has DH gone to the states yet?? I can't remember when he was going but hope you're doing ok!! Still can't get over how gorgeous your little girl is!!
AFM - I'm doing really good.. had a bit of a crappy day yesterday, just a bit hormonal I think and was feeling really teary but all good today. I actually got a sleep in this morning - WOO HOO!!! Finally... Luke slept a bit longer than normal and the MIL got up... so as soon as I heard her.. I thought I'd just stay in bed - hehehe. It was fantastic! We didn't do anything today either so have had a nice lazy one and it's been amazing.. I feel so much better!! I'm just loving all the little kicks from bub too.. so it's making me very happy!!! It's all just so amazing and surreal... I still can't believe it's actually happening!! We're off to the snow this weekend too.. just a day trip to Lake Mountain, so that should be nice.. something different for us!!!!
MICHELLE _ You crack me up woman. I'm glad the toesies are better today though. I have realised that if we don't have our humour, what do we have? LOL Has the moxa at least shifted the boy in the slightest?
BEK BEK BEK _ I have had a feeling you would post something like this & I really wish you would stay. I will miss you & hearing about the kids, but I can completely understand your feelings. I had a very similar conversation with Michelle a few months ago. Given my current situation though, I can safely say that without you all online here I would have gone completely nutty. Know that we are here if/when you need us though.
KEL _ Loving your style about playing sleeping Mummy when you heard MIL. You are crafty & I love it. Don't you love the lazy days at home? They are bliss sometimes.
JANIE _ How are you going with the feeding now?
LISA _ Not heard from you in ages???
LANEY _ How are you?
WILLOW _ Don't feel isolated, I love you!!! I really wish you guys lived close, honestly I do. How are the reno's?
MAKO _ How are you going with the Clomid?
DEB _ How was school Olympics?
BW _ How are you? How are you coping back at home full time without your work? Are you ok?
BUN _ Are you still looking at having to shift? How is your sister going?
LEE _ I'm loving the sound of the massage course. You can give me a massage ANYTIME you like!
AFM - I don't know what's happening with me, I'm of one opinion one day, another the next, so it's really hard to say. Alan is continually in tears & I genuinely believe he's remorseful, I just fail to feel sorry for him. The kids are being SUPER awesome which is really great. Helps me immensely. I'm off for a work night out on the town tomorrow night. Heaven help me. Coupled with my situation & the fact I haven't been out child-free for a night out in probably 8 months & that I'm almost 15kg lighter, I'm scared for EVERYBODY's safety! hahah. Not that I'm on the prowl, complete the oppposite, I think I'll just be grateful for some company, does that make sense? I have lived under a rock for the past 3 weeks & I'm going insane.
Jayne, a night out for you sounds fabulous. I don't know what to say re. your situation, but know that I am here, with plenty of hugs and love Funny you should ask about the feeding today, things have been tough lately, for different reasons. Looks like DS2 has similar protein intolerances to DS1. And there's been some other funny stuff going on. I actually spoke to Barb today, and it seems as though he may have secondary lactose intolerance, from exposure to the formula (or possibly the ABs he had when he had the abcess). It's a bugger, but at least it explains things. So yeah, not great, but could be worse! Thanks for asking
Ah Jayne, you are so sweet to think of me in the midst of all you are going through! I read a lot, but just don't often feel like I have much to say.
I think we're doing ok in the new order of things. It's taken several weeks but we have gone from Sam screaming every time DH handed him to me to Sam actually choosing to snuggle with me on the couch and fall asleep a couple of nights ago. DH has only just returned to full time work on Wednesday, but the three weeks before that he was doing a lot of work on his motorbike. We have three vehicles - DH had to get the motorbike back on the road so that he could take his car off the road to get some mechanical work done so that we can move the baby seat out of my car to get a ding repaired! It actually feels a little strange, I've been back at home for a month now, but only just reached my official end date and my proper farewells today. If I'd known that quitting work would have given me enough money to pay off the car loan (I didn't realise I'd have my long service leave paid out until the money arrived in my account!) and a pandora bracelet I'd have done it a lot sooner! I'm hoping that with less stress in the house we can finally all get well again - it's not beed a good winter health-wise for us!
Bek, I will miss you, but completely understand.
Anyway, it's late and I've only just got home from a lovely dinner out and desperately need to get some sleep! I will try to be a bit more talkative from here on. Thinking of everyone.
Just a quick one. Admitted overnight (at this stage) for what is hopefully only prelabour. Regular ish and painful enough but still transverse so it has me concerned. Lily was sobbing for boo tonight which is even harder and now they are wanting to change the NOK in my file
Holding up - just. Now if only I could stop crying and get some sleep so these pains settle and I can go home to my babies.
Michelle - How are you this morning... hope you're doing ok... thinking of you!
Jayne - Oh hun... please don't think that you have to make any decisions right now.. it's going to take LOTS of time... this is by far the biggest and most important decision you'll ever make and you have to be sure it's the right one!! Geee.. nothing like pressure hey.. sorry, didn't mean it quite like that.. ykwim? Just don't let anyone else push you one way or another, every single situation is different and I'm so pleased to hear that Alan is feeling some sort of remorse for what he's done.. if only he'd felt some of that BEFORE doing what he did. Anyway have a FANTASTIC night out.. you deserve to have a blinder.. will definitely help relieve some of that tension.. just stay safe hun!! Love you!
BW - So great to hear from you!! Sounds like things are on the improve for you, which is fantastic... you certainly deserve it too.. woo hoo on the car payments and pandora bracelet!!! Nice.
Janie - Sorry to hear things haven't been great with D.. hope it all sorts itself out soon. Maybe we need another catch up!!!!!
Nothing else to report from us.. having a lazy morning.. DH has gone for a run and MIL has taken the dog for a walk... ahhhh the piece and quite... well apart from DS running around like a lunatic!! LOL. DH is going to the pool for a swim later today too so I think I'm going to brave it and go with him!!!! Scary thought.. I haven't done any form of fitness for way too long... but just need to get out and do something!! With MIL here, DH and I were going to sneak out for dinner and a movie tonight.. but there's nothing on at the movies that interests us.. so might just be dinner.. very exciting, it's been way too long since we've done that!! Then going to the snow tomorrow.. woo hoo!!
Hi everyone. Mchelle is still in hospital. The contractions have eased though she had a bright red blood loss this am. The cervical plug is still intact and insitu & Omar is still transverse.
It's likely that this is from the Moxa and Omar's attempts to turn himself to his best position for birthing. Michelle has her mum and dad there now & Oscar and Lily - with Lily very happy to see her boobie after having to go night nights without them!
She is sounding happy to see her babies & her and I will talk later when the family have gone. I will continue to update you or Michelle will when she can.
We are all barracking for you gorgeous. This isn't in the plan - but birth rarely goes to plan. I personally believe that this is a little reminder that soon Omar will be here & that it's time for us all to gather around.
Thanks, Deb. I've been staring at my phone all day and wanting to send a text message to check on Michelle, but also not wanting to intrude. I think I need to work on my self esteem issues!
It's been an eventful evening! Lastnight I spoke with Michelle at 8.30pm and she said she was having a few mild-ish contractions then, obviously they got a bit stronger! Michelle - I think you are amazing to have hung out this long during such a tragic time, Omar has done well too, what a good little boy - he sounds like he's shifting and getting himself ready. 36 weeks is when my little Flynn arrived, it's okay, but have a feeling Omar might bake a bit longer. Glad your ma and pa are helping, perhaps some rest in hossie is actually a good thing right now hon, make the most of it if you can.... massive hugs.......... keep us posted okay! And yes, I so do understand how painful things like changing your NOK can be, it's all these 'invisible' things that hurt so much. Just don't forget how loved you are by so many people, and so many of us are thinking of you and sending you the BEST vibes and love xo
Michelle: you frightened the heck out of me. I'll txt soon.
Bek: Hun I am really really going to miss you in this thread. It won't be the same without you. Any way we can convince you to reconsider? If not I wish you and your gorgeous children the very best.
Be back for more persies once I've txt Michelle

I'm ok girls. Just bored Intermittent ctx still and no show but the littlest monkey is still transverse I am happy with breech or cephalic at this stage so I can go home!! Just hanging around until we change position or declare our status. I don't think labour is imminent but I also know I can't risk going home in transverse with my plug visible and some bleeding. Will keep you posted or Deb will update xx
Michelle sending you lots of turn Omar turn vibes hun. I hope you are able to manage some rest right now too. If you need anything at all you know I'm not all that far away and just a text or phone call is all that's required Big for you too
Bek I'm sorry to hear you are leaving us and I know I'm going to miss having you around. I wish you all the best and maybe you can pop in every now and then to let us know you're ok
Sending you LOTS of turning vibes lovely xoxo
