hi kyrawolfe - haven't welcomed you to the forum yet! I smiled when you said you and DH had big time snuggles and DS was dancing...

lm - i think there's ticker ''issues''. hope you are well.

airline - i was quesy from 6 to 14 weeks and the only thing that helped me was blackmores morning sick tablets. DH made some ginger and lemon tea for me too, that helped, I never actually threw up, just had really bad nausea.

greenslw - good for putting you and squeak first. and DF sounds like he's getting on the band wagon too... but you know what blokes are like ... bit slow n all. lol. DH and I had a blow up yelling fight a few months ago when his parrot wouldn't stop screaming and it drove me nuts, i asked him repeatedly to shut her up and he just ignored me... so i absooutely irrationally blew my top. anyhoo, it all ended with me in the bedroom ballng my eyes out and DH condescendingly telling me "i should have know better with all your hormones'' lol. Didn't have the energy to be mad at THAT comment, he was trying. MEN!

Hi smithy!

murph - i was going to make a crass crack about those knockers... but played nice (i must have been feeling unwell) lol.

AFM had doc appointment today. bub is engaged and definitely pressing down as i feel very different and am getting quite a few twinges. So hopefully this is all binding well for an early Dec arrival... as soon as his daddy steps through the door. Feel very tired but laid down and sleep wouldn't come... fortunately i got MORE kids paint-by-numbers canvases lol... so that's 10 now! hheehheee. poor DH will come home to a house covered in poorly painted children's art. lol. But hey, it keeps me occupied!

must go.. have a sooky furbaby requiring cuddles (on the lounge too boot, don't tell DH). Home in 9 days!!!! Someone mentioned their labrador furbaby getting a tick - is she feeling better??? (sorry can't remember who it was, had a look but couldn't find it again)... The best thing for paralysis ticks is dip... don't touch the tick, just put a few dabs of the dip on the tick and let it die. It'll shrivel up, dry out and will just pull off really easily.
