    Hi everyone!

    Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and enjoyed speding quality time with your bubs & bumps!

    Sammie: So sorry to hear about your furbaby hun. They really are like our children aren't they? I had the same thing last year, my 1yr old mutt died suddenly in his sleep. We had him cremated and he now sits on a shelf and we talk to him all the time. I was devastated but just glad it was so peaceful. DH cried every night for 3 weeks afterwards, he was his little mate. It really is hard when they're only young though, and when you least expect it. Cry all you want on us hun, that's what we're here for. But you'll get through eventually and have all those happy memories to live on.

    Grub: Ashton is a total little spunk! Soooo cute! Love the photos, and I'm sure that was a big smile he gave for the camera in his photo with Nanna! Hope he enjoyed his first Xmas. Tell me, did you manage to get a santa photo in? I worked on Santa photos one year and we had a few 2/3/4 day old bubs come in, it was so beautiful although Santa was s%*@tting himself worried he was going to drop one!

    Big to everyone else!

    AFM: All good here, still having swelling but not much I can do. Ob sent me to get BP checked on Thurs, was higher than normal but still within normal range so nothing really further to happen until it rises out of that. All normal I guess. Had a great Xmas with my family, and DH really enjoyed it too. Not much else to tell, hope you all enjoy the week ahead, bring on 2010!!!

    Oh Girls,

    Thank you all so much. You have NO IDEA how much comfort your words bring me right now...

    A Klein Spitz is very similar to a pomeranian but slightly bigger, different shaped nose and doesnt shed or smell doggie Our Bob "The Butterball" Trimbole (his "circus" pseudonom lol) aka Troublesome Bob (when being a ratbag) or Lil Bob as he was generally known really was our sourrogate baby. He was with me all day every day and was a perfect little pooch who lived to please. Everyone loved him. DH is totally and utterly shattered. My heart is so broken and I have been sobbing since it happened. We will be getting him back in a few days in a beautiful urn with pawprints and locks of his fur. I think they are putting his fur in a locket for me so i can have him with me all the time.

    We just had him for such a short time, it seems so unfair. I still cant shake the feeling that we failed him by leaving him alone. Maybe we could have helped him if we had been there. DH keeps saying that he killed him The garage he was in was airconditioned and there was no poison or anything around. If he had been bitten by a snake or spider he would have shown signs of it so we dont think that happened. Even if he had choked on something there would be signs, surely. I truely believe it was a heart attack. We decided against an autopsy because well, hes gone and it wont help knowing if it was something that we could have prevented or helped with. To know that for sure would just make it SO very much worse...

    Again, thank you all so much for being there for me at a time when you should just be hearing happy, fun things. It honest means so much to me.

    Grub - that is one GORGEOUS baby. The only thing that has bought a smile to my face since the hideous event.

    Hugs everyone,

    Me.

    Samiejam a lost pet can be so hard, they give us so much love and they are so dependant on us. I lost my cat last Chrismas and it was so hard.

    Grub glad you can persist with the expressing well done, I'm sure it will sort itself still so happy for you..

    Paula goodluck Wednesday

    Hi Boc, glad you are in the normal range (the only time normal is good in pg and with kids )

    ATM went to Target yesterday good bargains on baby stuff ladies. If you are brave, so many agro ppl. Really no need. I think being pg has made me so much more zen, I would like to spred the love I telll you life is way to short for yelling at your kids, wife hubby or a total stranger who drives the wrong way into a shopping park. the language I heard in the car park was awful.

    Today I'm cleaning the pram and just relaxing, in to work tomorrow then not back till after my birthday on the 5/1.

    Oh funny baby brain moment to share:: I left my work VISA at the shop in Christmas eve, and guess what? they kept it. See there are nice ppl out there.
    Have a great day all.

    Awww Smithy hun...

    FINALLY! I was able to get onto your Piczo and catch up. I just loooooove the video of Charlie kicking! Almost brought a tear to my eye!

    My contrary little child doesn't cooperate as well, sometimes I can feel my belly moving but as soon as I look down to catch it, it stops. Same with every time DH goes to feel a kick we stop again! So frustrating (mind you doesn't help that Daddy is super impatient and only keeps his hand there for 5 seconds )

    I'm trying to train him, he keeps leaning over and saying "hurry up and come out already Cookie!" and I keep saying "No no no! Not yet!". As much as I would love my little bundle in my arms NOW, I don't want to risk any complications, however trying to explain this to a male can be difficult at times. I do have this funny feeling though, 36 weeks seems to stick in my head, don't know whether that is when I will deliver or when I will go into hospital but it's just a feeling...

    Murph: Jasmine's first Xmas looks lovely! and v. jealous of the beautiful Daintree surroundings you have too!

    Green: I'm with you, I'm a big believer of doing the honest thing, especially at Xmas. A kid dropped a wallet full of money right in front of me at the shops the other week and I had to waddle as fast as my little cankles would carry me to catch up with him, finally caught him about to get into a lift, well I tell you he thanked me a million times & looked like he was going to cry! It's sad when people just don't expect it anymore, to me it's just normal, you find something, you give it back. (Mind you, looking at the credit card balance today, a magic wallet full of money would come in handy right about now!)

    Sammie: Did you go through Pets at Peace? That's who I used, can't compliment them enough, they were so lovely and did a great job. And I find it really comforting having Chocky around the house and saying hello to him every now & then. Thinking of you hun

    Hope everyone is planning great NYE, ringing in what will potentially be the best year of our lives! We have a 50th birthday to attend that night, it's a slogan t-shirt party. For DH I found a shirt that says "I Wanna Rock & Roll All Night, And Party... Some Days After A Nap"(If you knew my virtually-narcoleptic DH you'd see the funny side of it) and for me, I have just bought a plain maternity singlet and I'm buying a t-shirt transfer to print up that reads (printed up like a movie billboard)

    Coming Soon to a Hospital Near You..

    "LABOUR"

    Rated MA15+ - Not suitable for viewing by persons under 15 years
    Contains some horror, nudity, mild violence and strong coarse language

    Should be a good night, just waiting to hear yet if DH has to work NY day or not.

    Hope you're all having a good Monday, ours is miserable and wet. I was hoping to sit in my PJs all day but realised there's no food in the house so better go make the pilgrimage to Coles *sigh*

    AFM im having my second scan on Wednesday and i will be 9 weeks.Im really nervous as i havnt had many symptoms the whole pregnancy and now they seem to have almost gone.I had a good heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days but am feeling like everything is a dream.This doesnt feel real.I have been so down this week.I cant control my moods at all and im arguing with everyone.
    I feel so alone and so confused.I suffer depression and thought it had gone away but seems to have appeared again.I just hope and pray that we still have a heartbeat on wednesday.Ive read about it happening so often even though the chance is low after already seeing the hb,but everyone on the forums say its happens all the time.now i cant stop worryiing.
