I can't keep up. Grub you are officially the winner! I'm never buying anything on the internet again. Still no computer and neither courier nor Dell know where in the ethos it has disappeared to. It sucks that we refuse to get upset at such things. I know people love to yell and rant at these moments but it never works for us, bad karma and we always end up feeling worse. When we had all our dramas being stuffed around with broken t.v and trying to organise repairs and delivery, instead of getting mad and spending hours on fruitless p*ssed off phone calls, (well to be fair, we did a bit of that over several months), but in the end I took the lovely new appliance and threw it out on the lawn in the rain. Problem solvered!
I simply can't believe all the D'ingTD going on in here!!! Are you sure you are all pregnant? I can count on one hand how many times I've DTD. It's was just too distressing to see blood each time in the first trimester, then I was too sick, then too sore and by third trimester, OMG, too tired! I couldn't go through with the dramas that followed. I'm still not back in the game 5 weeks after giving birth (yay Jazzy is 5 weeks old and 3 kilos!!) This is just a time in our lives when we are sitting on the sidelines and letting other things take priority. I am supremely jealous but I'm nearing the point of getting things back to normal. I still have a lot of the caesarian soreness some days worse than others. Here's a link to that inthe next line.
I never filled out that list of questions that was going around, but my main point to add would be for constipation. I don't think anyone mentioned pear juice. My mum works with oldies and told me about it in my last weeks of pg. I wish I"d known earlier, it kicks prune juice's bum for taste and get things going. In hospy (both hospys I went to) they gave me pear juice with every meal and soaked prunes in juice with my daily porridge. I still can't go without the porridge and prunes but note to new players, post birth, the lovely pear juice goes straight through your baby. Doh! Really bummed but have had to let it go now. I was so low on iron after the birth, I had transfusion in hosp. and put on really strong iron tablets that bung you up like you wouldn't believe and do I need to talk about colour of those rabbit droppings???? the pain nearly put me back in hospital after I;d left so you really have to manage it with more water than you can ever remember drinking and those soaked prunes, even a daily constitutional coffee. Really, look after your bowels or you will split yourself a new one. From experience, I know....ouchiiiiees!!!!
Grub, I found myself calling Jasmine, Grubby Bubby the other day when I looked down' and saw my milk sprayed all over her face (they're quite the little fire hydrants some days )...
LondonMiss, you picked up on your own freudian slip but I was having a chuckle about the pup walking the neighbours in the middle of the night. very cute. Oh who doesn't love a lab? I've had an 18 year relationship with my first golden and disappointingly, 12 years with my second (went way too early). As for your quaint turn of phrase in describing your man farts, you outdid Grub in that department.
airline, fingers crossed for you. You are doing so well and hope you have the news you are waiting for very soon.
Jasmine is going really well, still little, still get stopped by everyone in the street as babies just draw people and it's quite lovely for the most part. sometimes I just have to put my head down and not make eye contact as you know someone just has to see your baby and you have to tellthem for the 16th time today her weight and age. I feel like it's nice to give back to people. At the pub last night, 2 old bar flies were so clucky and just asking all the questions like little old ladies but they were men, tickling her feet and doing all the guesses about age etc. Quite cute. what a leveller a little newborn life is.
Grub, all the luck in the world mate. Thinking of you all, huge hugs xoxoxox
