Lisa I hope your little one make an appearance very soon. Happy EDD too btw
Michelle I'm happy little Omar is being a good boy and letting you know all is ok in there by the more frequent movements. How is everyone else doing at your place?
Sorry for lack of personals atm but I'm feeling awful. I have this stupid cold/flu thing going on atm and can't even bring myself to take a panadol On the other side of things it all seems to be going ok I think. M/S is still around with avengence and I'm so so tired and irritable. Poor DH coped an earful last night over the fact he wouldn't decide on something for dinner Oh well atleast he's getting a break this weekend as he's going away tonight until early hours Monday morning. I'm just hoping everything is ok here while he's away. DS isn't well either..same cold/flu thing as me so he's miserable too.
I'm sorry about the poor me post.
Actually Mako - things here aren't too bad. For the minute I do feel like DH and I are disconnected from each other and him from the pregnancy but it is mainly time related and should be better over the weekend after my dummy spit last night DD is chit chatting away with more words each day and toddling around happily. DS amazed the nanny the other day when he said hello to a Chinese man in Chinese Nick Jnr has a lot to answer for!! Just wait until he speaks to someone in Spanish thanks to Dora and Diego
I hope the cold / flu gets better soon but I am very happy you are sick and feeling like crud with the M/S (that is said with love BTW )
MICHELLE _ Are we allowed to know which names you are liking for Omar??? As with the reaching toenails fiasco, I have no Omar to blame - just some really, really warm insulation that was preventing toenail painting - I have finally shed some insulation & can now reach them with ease! heheeh
Well Jayne - there are a few criteria considering the names we have for DS and DD. Both seem to have come from the 1800's so a "modern" name may not fit. Good thing the classic names are fashionable The other criteria is from DH - it needs to sounds good after a few red wines and roll off the tongue Say my little people's names after a few and you will get what he means
So far Henry looked good (but now not permitted - BIL has dibs and they are due just before us ) we had Charlie but not sure as DH now has it linked to the pre-amnio stress and George seems to be a popular choice. Having said that - we are in no way decided so it could still be anything!!
I am sorry I haven't been posting much. The last few weeks have been incredibly incredibly taxing... I will post all about it later... I just haven't got the head space for it.
Lisa: Your baby & you have a relationship that begun many months ago. Before your body can birth your head has to be in a birthing space. I believe that acupuncture & EPO & sex etc all help. What helps most in my observation and experience is when the Mama can let go. That is a much pedalled term I know.
What I suggest is really spending time with your baby & your body. A bath like Michelle suggested is always good. Being outside with your feet earthed on the ground. Telling your baby & meaning it that you let go & accept when the right time has come for him/her to be born.
"My baby will be born in the perfect time for him/her".
Go inside yourself and really acknowledge any fears, doubts or concerns. Look at them, acknowledge them, do what is necessary to express them and then let go...
Shout to the night sky with shoes off...
Your body will birth this sweet baby when you are ready. Not just your body but your head...
We will all be here to wait, watch, light our candles and hold you energetically.
LISA _ Oh my, you must be so, so, so, so, so close to bubby coming along now. I'm so excited for you. What's the plan with Miss A when labour starts? Where is she off to? Is she going to see bubs first to announce to everybody a brother or a sister? It's so exciting you are making me cluck!!!
BEK _ Claudy was BF & she too was sleeping through til 5 am, do you think that perhaps maybe Eva doesn't know how to settle herself back down to sleep & feeding is the only way she knows how? I'm not at all saying that's a bad thing, but it sounds like she can't pass from one sleep cycle to another without feeding back into la la land. Maybe you can try rocking her back to sleep for a few nights, then try patting her back to sleep for a few nights? I'm not saying any of this WILL work, but it may not hurt to give it a go?
MICHELLE _ Oooh I love a good pedicure!!! I haven't had one of those in agessssssssssss. I have been painting my own toenails just lately - cos I can reach them superly now
KELLY _ So glad you're calming down darl - the joys of daycare hey? How are you travelling now?
JANIE _ Did I read on FB that Daniel is coming home NEXT week??? Serioulsy, you must have some awesome growth hormones happening!! Good on you!!
MAKO _ I hope this cold passes quickly & I can completely understand why you won't even take Panadol. If Sage isn't well too, perhaps some snuggly time watching the cartoons on TV for a few hours will do you both the world of good!
Big hello's to everybody - I have a big weekend approaching which is crazy for me - it's usually dullsville at our place.
Oooh Lisa - birth is not far away darl, relax & focus on what lies ahead - that beautiful little bundle in your arms!! What's the plan with Miss A on Labour Day?? Is she going to your parents place? Is she the first to see bubby? Will she announce brother or sister to everybody??? I love to know ALL the details. heheeh
MICHELLE _ I am loving the pedicure action! Good on you! I can't remember the last time I got a pedi. I have been doing my own just lately, because now I can reach my toenails with ease to paint them.
MAKO _ You poor chook feeling ill, but I can completely understand why you don't want to take anything for it. Maybe some cuddle up time on the couch watching cartoons is what you & Sage both need?
KELLY _ How you going love? How you feeling? Glad you got to re-group on your emotions while Luke was in daycare, it's very easy to become stressed, but not as easy to shake it off. xx
JANIE _ Did I read on FB that Daniel is coming home NEXT week? That is sooooo cool! Your milk must have some mega growth hormones happening in them!
BEK _ Claudia too was sleeping through til 5am at this age, I know Eva's sleep is a continual battle for you, but perhaps she doesn't know how to put herself to sleep unless she feeds to sleep? I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but perhaps you might be able to try rocking her back to sleep during the night for a few nights & when that works, go to patting her to sleep? Just some ideas - cos I honestly don't know how you're still functioning!!!
WILLOW _ I forgot to congratulate you the other week on your shrinking bust! Good on you & now tell me everything you eat so I can copy & hopefully mine can shrink as well!!!
Well AFM I have a busy weekend planned, which is not usually like us, but I'm excited to have something to do. Weekends here are usually dullsville.
Jayne - the exact reason for a pedicure (besides the obvious luxury of it ) it that it is getting harder and harder to reach my toes without discomfort. Omar doesn't like to get squashed
Deb - hang in there It will get better but there are a few more hurdles to leap (and they will seem like mountains!!) before you are free to move to the next stage You are doing a great job and holding it together so very well. Be proud xx
On the other side of things it all seems to be going ok I think. M/S is still around with avengence and I'm so so tired and irritable. Poor DH coped an earful last night over the fact he wouldn't decide on something for dinner
Oh well atleast he's getting a break this weekend as he's going away tonight until early hours Monday morning. I'm just hoping everything is ok here while he's away. DS isn't well either..same cold/flu thing as me so he's miserable too.

The other criteria is from DH - it needs to sounds good after a few red wines and roll off the tongue
