just a quickie... still here too lani... but you sound hopeful!! going to doc in about an hour to see what's happening. Been feeling very very crampy and heavy so i'm hoping there's plenty happening but i just haven't been invited to the party yet.
Hi Grub and Lani, how's the race going? Sounds like Lani is ahead by a nose. Very exciting!!!!
Just letting you know that I have put a few more photos on my facebook link. I really wanted to put on some limited edition photos of my birth outfit for you Grub and then I would have taken them straight down. They're very embarrassment but fun to share with other dags! they are in the same league as photos my mum took of me getting changed for my wedding standing in my passion killers (you know the gorgeous tummy tucking shorts). Anyhoo my photos are on DHs computer and he's away so you miss going to your birth calm place with me in my reggies! The get up for the caesarian involves disposie robe, compression stockings that end at the armpits! Oh and the jox that look like they belong on your head. You'll just have to imagine til I can put them up,but they won't be there long.
At the moment, I'm soaking nappies, waiting to hang washing and going into town to buy more nappies. Psychology exam...what is that? I deferred it until next month and have tried to get back into study but life is just a wee bit different and I only study the bits that relate to Jazzy...audiology, development, etc. care factor is slightly less than zero at the moment.
DH has 1 month left of his PhD scholarship and then we are both jobless...argghhh. he has lined up an interview as a kayak tour guide (taking be-socked, be-sandalled german tourists paddling around the reef). Just a bit of a cushy thing to bring in some money while looking for serious work. In Feb, he goes to America to present all his research at a conference and then it's all over. the research equipment goes back to townsville today, the work ute goes back to Atherton tomorrow, all the field work in the rainforest is over and after 4 years, finally the rotten statistics and thesis writing (at least for this project) are behind him. Another job prospect may be a pig research project which is so far up his alley and will keep us based in FNQ...yay!
Smithy, I checked your photos and am really jealous that you did the belly cast. I would have so loved to do that, but never thought to just go the cheaper option like you described. I just saw the flash over the top ones offered in shops and never thought twice about it. Bugger. anyway, can't wait to see what you do with it. cute belly.
Thanks Smithy,
I love the one near the flowers too. Funny how the most unplanned things sometimes work the best. I picked the flowers for my sister's b'day and just intended on sending her a virtual bunch as a photo on my phone (cheap skate, it's not quite interflora hey?). anyway, I walked past Jazzy's basinette and just thought to put the flowers next to her and at the very moment I took the photo with my phone, she turned her head so her nose was inthe rose. So Anne Geddes, I aint, but I had my moment. Just spewing I didn't use my real camera as it's poor quality and I want to frame it.
murph! my mate. i love it when you talk dirty... pigs,rainforest, reef, work utes... ahhhh the smell of FNQ. and why don't you love your teddies? lol. I had a hugemongous tumour from my ovary removed a few years ago and becaome very very friendly with my teddies... so did dh who had to help me put them on, that I actually kept them for months afterwards lol.
I agree, it's that darn Wantsababy by a nose in the baby race lol. Doc did a stretch and sweep today which has a 50% success rate of bringing on labour. so if that doesn't work we are back for monitoring on weds and they'll probably induce late this week or early next. somee concern bout fluid levels still.
keybord playing up... aarrghhh
back later hope with news or concession speach t Lani
oxx
Grub and Lani I am sending you lots of LABOR vibes too
LondonMiss BH for me started at around 32 week and pubic bone thing from about 8 weeks. Although I have had more pain in my back my physio says you normally get one or the other.
Hi Murph can't believe you tried to study so soon after jazzy. The tour guide things sounds nice and non stressful. Hope all is going well
Grub a stretch and sweep that sounds very interesting
Today I am a zombie...................... I woke up at 2.30am and didn't get back to sleep. BH are annoying my hips are out and DH is a bed hog! I went to my physio so hopefully the back is better tonight but wow baby is active. Hasn't really settled for longer than an hour all day.
I phoned the builder from next door (who broke my fence and down pipe) and got nowhere so out came the pg hormones and I rang his boss. Empowered! I even pulled the pg card. Last night when I couldn't sleep I kept hearing the fence bang and it made me angrier every time. Bloody neighbours, I only let them in my yard to save her some money and this is the thanks I get. I phoned her and she told me "it's not my problem" NEVER AGAIN!
On a happier note its my Managers xmas party tomorrow it's a surprise all day. I can't wait, good to be human again for a while.
Just popping in quickly before my little man wakes up for a feed!
Want to wish Grub LOTS and LOTS of luck. We have been through our journeys together from the beginning One by one we are having our precious little angels. Hope you little one arrives soon. Take care and am thinking of you.
To all my other lovely ladies, Greenslw, Smithy, BDT, BOC, Saph and all the new ladies, a BIG hug and belly rub
Trent will be 6 weeks on Wednesday, how time has FLOWN! He has been a bit unsettled as he has coelic which is very painful for him at times. I feel so helpless when he is crying in pain. Im still b/f although he gets topped up with formula after every feed too but I am persisting. My little man is a GUTS, hehe He weighed in at 4.2kgs at his 4 week check up We love him dearly and he is the best Christmas present ever. I still stare at him and cant believe I have a baby. Its such a dream come true.
Take care girls and look forward to following your progresses
