Ros: Ugh! That glucose test! YUK, made me hyper and edgy and was awful, I hate it. I thought the drink didn't taste that bad but made me feel disgusting!!!!!!
Hi girls, sorry I have been a bit slack with my replies lately! Life in my house has been so busy lately with work and Chelsea has her ballet concert next Tuesday so they have been having rehersal, photos, buying stuff - can't wait till its over!
Sorry to say I can't make next Monday or the fortnight after that, but please go ahead with whatever day suits everyone and I'll just make sure I can come to the next one as I am sure we will have more than 1 (or I hope so!).
Ros - have you been to the dentist yet?
Nox - how is the little man travelling? Sorry to hear the seminar didn't help much. I'm sure everything will click into place, it just takes a bit of time. You sound like my bestfriend in Qld, she got her licence aged 32! She has had to sit her learners permit 3 times as they expired every 3 years. She is not very confident either, but I think that comes with practice (much like raising a baby lol!!!). She drives alot at night when the road is quieter just to get her confidence up.
Nox I was also a later starter in the driving area. I got my licence when I was 24 (now 31) but then went straight overseas so never got in any practise. Then last year, I finally decided to do something about it. I enrolled in a course called 'Fear of Driving' (I think) and whilst doing it, I got a new job that would require me to drive. So I was pushed into it really. I drive everywhere now, which still amazes me. 18 months ago, I would have dissolved into tears at the slightest thing on the road. I can honestly say that getting over my fear of driving has been the hardest but most worthwhile thing I have ever done.
If you are having issues, maybe look into a course. I found it so reassuring to realise that there were other people like me who got afraid!
Thanks Relle, much appreciated. I am still working full time so will have to wait until after the baby is born to join in.
I found the course for driving really useful. I used to feel like such a freak about not wanting to drive. Going to the course just made me realise that it is a legit phobia and lots of people have it! It also came out that every single person in my class was a perfectionist! Not surprising really.
Time is moving along. I am really looking forward to my 20 week scan. I had a bit of a scare this week with some bleeding so managed to get in for a scan - and all was good. Probably didn't need the scan but it worked as much for my own peace of mind. Being the first time for me, everything is so new and weird.
I think I will look into Calmbirth. I saw Diane at the Baby expo this past weekend, but didn't get a chance to chat. I need to get DH involved. I think he will be okay with it, but might take some initial persuading.
Thanks Relle, but I too am still working full time. I won't be finishing until early Feb. Maybe another time though!
It's funny how different things freak different people out. I got my license as soon as I could and I used to hang out with my BF and her brother and his mates and the boy's used to take us out around this one way street in Cheltenham called Friendship Square and they taught us how to go around the corners sideways and keep control of the car! Fun at the time, but silly now that I look back on it!
Super Bogan, Fridays are no good for me, but I can come to the next one (if its a monday or Tuesday) if Friday is good for everyone else. It is so hard to organise a big bunch of people to all be available on the same day??
How are you even coping with so little sleep?
Oop gotta go...Quinn waking up again, off to Gymbaroo soon, I love Gymbaroo.
hey ladies. i should put up some pics of my little man. i'll get them off the camera maybe today.
i have my app w dr d today! hasn't been long enough for me to start missing him yet so not really looking forward to it as much as i should!
ds is now 8 w old and seems sooooooo big and old to me until i see him against all my friends older kids. things have chilled out -- still no easy routine and day feeds can be pretty much anywhere. makes for no plan days o be the best. nights are ok but rather than sleeping 4.5 hrs from 830pm i would love that from midnight!!! haha shouldn't complain.
hope everyone else is well!
Sounds good, I can bring a salad and anything else you'd like me to bring....maybe a potato salad or pasta salad???? Something else? Let me know I can bring anything you like. I'm very excited!
...mmmm Bogan hedgehog! I am yet to try the bogan peppermint slice but am expecting it to be magnificent! Best I don't tell Daz that I am coming to see you or he will expect hog! (and perhaps a TF) How's the feeding going now Bogesy? (BTW the "or what??" on the end of your sentence proves without a doubt that you are the boganest bogan in the boganiverse)
I wasn't coming unless hedgehog was on the menu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make a list of what we are having and tell me what you want me to bring and what time you would like us to bombard your place? Marley has swimming at 10am and I usually leave there about 10.45am, so should be at your place around 11.30am.
Apparently in about 7 months I will be a qualified midwife - yikes!

Hi girls,
Ok, well I was having a good day today, but then OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG it turned frikkin amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I have just come home from having lunch with Nox & her DH and I am buzzing!
Not only did she give me a beautiful testimonial for me to put on my website, but they also gave me a thankyou present - Personalised Plates for my car no less and wait for it "DOULA - 0"
I was honestly lost for words, as I am sure she will come in here and confirm, It was honestly one of the most THOUGHTFUL gestures I have ever received and I will think of you guys each and every time I go to my car!
It really was an honour to be at Dylan's birth and watch a birthing goddess at work, not to mention the invaluable experience you guys have given me and all for my training.
ohhh so much to say, but still can't think properly, oh and I had a quick appt with Dr D today too, mmm... off to look at my car again! lol
