Thanks for all your amazing support ladies.. I know I've said it before but I can't even begin to describe how wonderful you all are and how much you've helped me.
Lee - Massive hugs hun.. thank you so much for sharing your heartbreaking story about DH. I can't imagine how difficult it has been for you and hope you manage to get a little bit of a break when your MIL visits. I'm really am so glad that you shared your story, I truely believe it helps to talk about things and get them out, so please do so whenever you need to.
Janie - My gorgeous friend, I'm thinking of you constantly and can't wait to hear the news.. you're a lot stronger than you think!!
Deb - OMG.. poor Lucy! Sounds absolutely terrible and not at all what you need right now! The saying certainly is true sometimes "when it rains, it pours". Sending you massive hugs too and hope things finally turn around for you soon! Maybe you need to give Lucy that happy gas more often.. she could score you some 'sweet' dates!! LOL.
Spring - sorry to hear you're having more 'balls' issues with your boys. Not much fun and I hope it gets sorted quickly and easily. Great news about the weigh in though!!
Bun - Hope all is going ok. I wouldn't be worried about the smiling yet either, it's still so early!! Give it a bit longer and if you're still worried, give your dr or health nurse a quick call to put your mind at ease!
Willow & Bek's - DS has been doing some ripper tantrums lately too... he had everyone pointing and laughing at him at the markets yesterday... so embarrassing! Great news on the potty front though Bek.. Luke did two wee's in one day on the toilet and now won't go anymore.. so frustrating!
Sorry.. poor attempt at catching up on everything.
AFM - I'm still feeling a bit down (bloody story of my life atm). There were lots of tears yesterday avo and night. Still don't really know why but it does feel good to have a cry. I'm starting to wonder if I need to go and see someone.. it's really not like me at all to be feeling so 'down'. I hope I can turn it around soon. My mum is here next week, so I'm sure that will help. DH is away again today, flew up to Brissy early this morning but he's flying back home late tonight. Still sucks that he's not around. Also bought some OPK's. Have never used them before as falling pg hasn't been our problem, so that should be interesting. Might start using them today as I think O day should be soon... although I really have no idea about my cycle.
Sorry to always be so miserable in here... I know my problems are a lot smaller than some in here and I really want my 'happy' self to return soon... and again, can't thank you enough for all your support.
Morning ladies, I am a bit nervous today for our beautiful friend Janie. I hope you are doing OK this morning, you are constantly in my thoughts. I think you have been amazing through this whole situation and will continue to be so. I cannot wait to hear that your beautiful baby has arrived safely
Spring - Oh crap. Your post has freaked me out a bit because D's balls are the same. They were HUGE at birth (so much so that DH insisted on taking a photo of them ) and they are still very big. We often comment on it. I never had the thought that something could be wrong with them. Although now that I think of it, his paed has checked them quite a few times so I won't panic just yet, will just remember to ask him about it at our next appt in a few months. I truly hope B's are just fine and maybe he's just got big balls Ahh, the things we mothers endure!!
Lee - Huge for you babe. You have endured so much grief in your life, it just doesn't seem fair that one person should have to endure so much. I understand the feeling of being overwhelmed. I know I only have 3 but I do get it. I'm sure you're older kids present a whole new set of challenges that I haven't even contemplated yet having only small children, but you've got a one year old and a nb and that's a tough gig. I'm so pleased for you that your MIL is coming, I hope it's a well deserved break for you.
Kelly - I know I've said it 100 times but I really feel for you right now. You sound very much the way I was after our loss and to be honest I was horribly depressed and in the end I did go and see someone. She didn't work out (and in the meantime I found you girls - my life line!), but I went back about 12 months later and it truly helped me to cope. I'm so glad your mum is coming, sometimes a hug from mum is all we need to feel better. Hang in there, it will get better
Deb - Holy cow woman, when does it end?! Poor Lucy! How is she feeling today? What on earth did she cut her leg on???
Sneaking on from work (while teaching a class!) to check on Janie... Can't stay too long.
Just wanted to add that I'm still worried about Sam's balls. Opposite problem to Willow and Spring in that they seem really small... and don't seem to have come down properly still. Think I'll get DH to get the referral to the surgeon and have him checked out properly, not overly happy with the wait and see approach the paed is taking!
Janie I am not sure what time this afternoon your baby's birth is - but my candle has been lit since your text last night (or should I say this morning!!!!) ... I have prayed hard & long - & am seeing you smiling and happy with a healthy little baby... This is your day & your baby's day. Enjoy it & know you are both in the best of hands...
I wish so much I could be there to kiss your head and squeeze your hand & gaze in awe at your new little one...
Lee: Thankyou so much for your PM. I will reply today it's just been frantic here & I feel grateful & blessed to have such a beautiful friend in you...
What you are experiencing isn't unusual but painful & tough none the less... You have had a lot of grief & sometimes that comes out when we can't understand why. Just know though that if it is coming up now it's the right time for you. Perhaps it could be the realisation of what you have now & that you thought it would be different with your first husband who you lost & loved so deeply. It's a grief of dreams, expectaions as well as the person and the life you had...
I want you to know that I am here - always... Our Goodbye babies have brought us together in a way that no person on Earth could ever do... They gave us each other amongst the amazing gifts that they gave. You are safe, supported & loved in here - always...
Deb.. just had to very quickly reply to say that you're such an amazing person. The last sentence of your post just made me cry.. what a beautiful thing to say.. you have such a wonderful way with words and truely are a beautiful person. Thank you.
No word from Janie yet.. am checking my phone every five minutes!!!! I can't stop thinking about her and am so nervous!!
Sounds like the mobile phone brigade is well and truly on high alert
I am a grumpy woman at the moment with such a short fuse. DS is pushing my buttons and I am not managing it well Lack of sleep and lack of support are just making me less than happy with my parenting. And DS is refusing to nap so I am without the rejuvenation of a nap Scan tomorrow is causing me the usual levels of stress and I just don't feel like I am much use here (or anywhere) in this mood. Add to it all that I haven't seen or spoken to DH for more than 5 minutes for the past week and I am over it all.
On the good side - DD took her first consecutive steps yesterday and we are visiting the IL's this weekend so there should be a few minutes just for me.
Lee So much I want to say but the words just won't come.
Deb I love happy gas!!! It makes for the best child procedures - you never know what skeleton they will let out of the closet
BBL when there is some news. A few of us are on stand-by to announce the pending arrival!!!!
Lee - sweety, i cannot imagine what you have been through and now with a new bub your emotions are probably higher than ever hence the feeling of accumulated grief. I know my gran lost our grandfather at a young age, she had 3 small children and she always told the story of how she had to soldier on in the beginning, but then some years later the real grief had hit her, after she was remarried. Take it easy on yourself darling and I hope your MIL will be an angel sent to you in your time of need and give you the little boost you need emotionally and physically.
Janie - OMG hun Im nervous for you! Im sure bub will be perfectly fine and you will come through the c/s like a star. Please know I am thinking of you and sending your little one some healthy chubby bubby vibes and some peace and serenity to you special lady as you prepare to welcome your little baby into this world.
Kelly
Deb: PMSL at the matchmaking effort, glad Lucy is ok though.
AFM - have to go have a shower and get DD organised, off to the shops to get some things for bub and I have an OB appt. Will bbl to hopefully catch some special news from Janie xx
