Hi lovelies,
please let me know if I missed any of your updates. It's getting to be a healthy long list.
Theresep, I hope that seeing your name, last but not least on the list gives you even more hope. Good luck with this anxious time and the bleeding.
Greenslw, good to see things are looking up for you and you are feeling a bit more confident. Sorry I haven't PM'd you yet, I have been a bit run down (just headachy and tired from night work), so having nana naps again too. I know the feeling of the isolation and realisation you have no friends around you, but like KellyD, it has taken probably a year or two to really accept and love the life I have with the sacrifices we have made. I bet you at least have t.v for company. I have Belly Belly I guess you feel you don't have the support of the one who should be supporting you most,and that adds to that feeling of having no one close. You do though. This forum has real live people who care about you, no matter that we don't even know what you look like and we will all follow you through the whole time of your pregnancy. who else but us crazy women in waiting understand the excitement of whether to go two wheels or three I think it's an amazing resource of friendship and support. There's no way to pretty up the ugly subject of financial stress, just work with each other and see each other's fears I guess. YOur years of truck driving sound like my years of DH working in nightclub security. Hateful horrible years and I don't know how we survived! It was all about the money and getting through uni but just a total nightmare. we still can't look at a nightclub strip without being truly thankful those years are behind us and that was 5 years ago! If only we'd discovered nightfilling at Woollies years ago! No drunk and drugged out punters, no crazy life of full time study and full time work. We just didn't put enough thought into our options and persevered. YOu know how it is. I hope you give your options lots of thought.
KellyD, I'm sure your DH won't resent you if he has to commute into Melbourne for work. I hope it won't come to that but for the lifestyle it affords you to have in Ballarat (brrr, cold just thinking of that place) and the cheaper living, it may just be one of those pay offs over all. I hope he gets a bit more security with his job though and he can work closer to home.
Kaydee, congrats on your latest milestone. So close now but yet so far away I suppose. Are you with a private system? It's just that witht he mention of all the scans you have had and will still have, mine stopped at the 19 week growth scan and there are apparently none more scheduled throuugh the whole pg unless there are complications (throught he public system). It feels really strange to be out here just doing it on my own, after all that initial IVF intervention and now all I have really is the GP appointments and the antenatal clinic at my local hospital, oh and of course the signs from Jasmine which are most important.
I'd better get off or I'll be kicked off. That damn Daintree pest is hogging the link again....god someone buy her a t.v!!!
