Welcome Robin Patrick.. Congratulations Poppyfairy...
He's gorgeous... (for a little laugh.. I'm glad I previewed this before posting cause I had called you Poopyfairy which you may be by now ..lol...)
Greenslw - I hope that this pain your having doesn't hang around or that you go into labour sooner rather than later.. Good luck
Smithy - Not long now Hun... A little Aquarian.. how cute.. My Mum and sister are both Aquarians..
BDT - I'm so thrilled that you have made it to 34 weeks and that you can have your Bubs on The Coast.. Now i'm hoping that the first bub goes head down again.. I have heard that playing music down low can help them to turn as they try to hear the music and also you can put a cold pack near where you think there head is so they move away from it... Check out Spinning babies website.. They have some good info.. I think that the fact that she was head down before is a good sign that at least she can manage head down... How are you looking for Yoga this Saturday.. Giving it a miss? Talk to you soon..
To everyone else I hope you are all cooking nicely.. I read how you all are but am really cr@p at posting.. Thinking of each and evey one of you...
AFM - Most people think I'm huge and that I won't make my due date.. I love it.. My cousin who is due 10 days after me and has a bit of a bump thinks I look juicy.. lol... I have been pretty sad and a little lost lately as my fIL passed away with my DH and I holding his hand after a 4 month battle with cancer on the 3rd of January... My baby would've been his first Grandchild... He was so excited and tried so hard to hold on but just couldn't... It will be a bittersweet day for DH when Lil Kracker is born...
Take care ladies.. I will stalk away...

CONGRATULATIONS Poppyfairy!!! He looks just gorgeous, and i'm glad that you and DH can enjoy your babymoon with the three of you for a little longer before your dad comes to stay.
No persies today, but I do want to say lilmisshavachat, i'm so sorry to read about your FIL. I hope you and DH are looking after yourselves
I've been a bit down myself lately - my grandfather passed away last week - he had pneumonia a month before Christmas, and they discovered cancer throughout his body. He went back into hospital on Christmas day and then last week when we thought he was doing well he went rapidly downhill. But he had 4 of his 5 children at his side, and a number of us grandchildren (including myself) in the hospital room too so at least he was surrounded by love, and is now with my grandmother. But it's such an emotionally draining time and when I came back to work on Tuesday I found out a good friend has breast cancer and was having a double mastectomy that day (she hadn't told anyone before cos she didn't want to worry any one!!). Needless to say I went straight back home.
And then just because i'm a goose I woke up this morning convinced there was something wrong with the Chicklet (i've been waking up in a panic in the middle of the night feeling like i'd stopped breathing, and when I weighed myself this morning i've only put on 1kg so far...) so rang my OB and am just back from seeing a midwife. Glad to report all is well and although I felt like a goose i'm glad I went. On a positive note, I had to buy mat clothes last week cos mine are getting way too tight and uncomfortable!!
So Dusty - my advice to you is that if you can then make an appointment with your OB for about 16 weeks cos it's waaaaaaaaaaay too long between the 12 and 20 week visits.
Anyway, to all those ladies who are nearing the end of pregnancy - sending labour vibes your way and hoping this little creature finds you very very soon
To everyone else, hope you're all well. I'm sorry for the lack of persies - I was doing so well with staying up to date, and as per usual, although I haven't posted over the last week i've been reading about what you're all up to.
poppyfairy -=- Robin Patrick is beautiful! Seeing all these new babies all you girls have been having has gotten me so impatient to get through the next 15 weeks! They are all just so gorgeous!
Cant write a book today.. DS is waiting for me to come and play trucks ahh the duties of mummyhood
Me and DH were talking yesterday.. And hes agreed to help me save up to finally apply for TAFE next yr and start off on a veterinary nursing cert to boost me up to a vet course in uni! After my 2010 break to stay at home with DS and Jelly bean of course.. So that was another lil thing to look forward to Im going to start gathering all the info I need about how to go about it over the next yr so I can jump in the deep end in 2011!
Anyway must go.. Hope you are all feeling well today, and grnslw, Im Hopeing today is your day!
Kyra that is fantastic that you are going back to study. It is really important to have something that is solely yours outside of the children. TO have your own identity other than such and suches mum.
I spoke to a careers counsellor today and worked out a gameplan.. Ive had a rocky start to education so its a long road ahead.. But there IS a road Ive decided while on my year off Im going to individually try to do a bit of self study and practise on maths and sciences so I can get myself a head boost and be ready for some of the things ill be takeing on. Its all a little scary and I have some feelings of self doubt because I was never the best maths student, not even in the easier maths subjects..and part of what ill be needing to study is maths B.. But Im puting that down to slacking off and going through some things back in high school that im not going to have a problem with now, especially with a set goal in mind.
Sorry to rant.. wish me luck anyway! Hope everyone is feeling ok
Well i am awaiting the call. My SIL was induced on Sunday and after what seems like cr@p service from a public hospital they finally broke her waters this morning. I cant wait for little snuggles.
KellyD, that's crazy!! How on earth do you girls carry anything that big? I think my full term size was you at 20 weeks or at least 28 weeks, and BOC was my full size at about 8 weeks I still keep thinking of Neptune's little boy born at 4.5 kilos and when I see how much Jazz has grown to be now 4 kilos, I realise how little she was. Thanks for the photos, it was fun to compare.
Smithy...awww, you know you are the most loved girl in this forum, we are always thinking of you cos you always think of us. I took that photo just for you too
Not too much time for persies but just wanted to say I'm sorry to Lise for the loss of your grandfather and Littlemiss for the loss of DH's dad. I'm sure it's a bitter sweet time but you will get through it and those babies at the end will help to heal the pain.
Also just quickly to Kyrawolf, it's exciting gettting a gameplan together like you are. Congrats and good luck with that. Just on the point you made about not being the best at maths at school, you wipe the slate clean when you go back to study as a mature student. My DH never even passed year eleven, joined the Army at 17 with no schooling to speak of and later went on to have a whole second career - excelling at tafe, then teaching at tafe, then excelling at uni, then teaching at uni and now in two weeks will have finished his Doctorate and be a fully fledged research ecologist. You go girl, you can do anything !
Poppyfairy, what a cute little mate. Your life is going to be just wonderful and you will be a fantastic Mum.xox
