Sammiejam - I'll do you a deal, I'll tip off customs to the castor oil if you do the same to my mum when she brings her British "remedies" with her... ha ha ha I'd like to see that customs tv programme do a "mother knows best" special, they wouldn't stand a chance! She told me this morning that I shouldn't be taking panadol, even though that is specifically what the doctor recommended to me .... I should note my mother is a school administrator not a medically qualified person, but that's never stopped her...
Seems odd that you two will have babies soon, and we all step a little closer to the top of the list. It's a little bit scary... Today, I'm going to spend an hour investigating this nappy business.(it's all fun fun fun in my house) and I think I've decided we're going to get one of those cots that turns into a baby bed. Not that DH agrees with me, but as he hasn't offered an alternative opinion, I'm counting that as agreement .... te he he
Kyra, if your DH still has any energy left, could he nip round here? I can lend him a dusterit's good of him to do that, most men would think "argh peace and quiet, tv on" and sit on their arses for hours. My DH got up at 5am this morning unable to sleep "quietly". Turns out his definition of quietly is about as quiet as a couple of bull elephants charging through your bedroom. He'll learn when he wakes a sleeping baby up....
hope you are all well. I'm looking forward to the weather breaking later, unlike everyone else in Melbourne (sorry)

Sammie thats amazing that you will be having your baby in a week and a half. I can just imagine how surreal it must all feel. Probably wont feel real till you are actually holding your baby in your arms.
lise i am quietly hoping for a pink bundle so hopefully the run continues with me.

Just re-read my post from yesterday - certainly not having any lovely thoughts about DH tonight! He's still at work and god knows what time he'll be home. I know it's an incredibily busy time for him right now but i'm feeling a little ignored really. If I didn't make the effort to call/email him during the day we would see each other in the mornings before work and that's it. I'm just cross that he doesn't put some limits on work and that he doesn't seem to care that we don't really talk during the week. Grrrrrr.
Anyway, enough of my rant, i'm sure pregnancy hormones aren't helping (i'm allowed to blame them for most things right?!). Hope all you lovely ladies are doing well, apologies for the lack of persies tonight.

Lise - I totally agree. I wish the person who invented a blackberry could be shot (not fatally, just enough to stop them designing anything else). They don't add to your work life balance, they simply extend your working hours to all those when you aren't actually sleeping. And sometimes, they even disturb that if you work with complete idiots in the UK who can't work out an 11 hour time difference and ring DH to ask him about his IT problems or tell him to update an HR form or something obviously critically important! GRRRR
On the upside, I've just done a big order of stuff from an eco store and bought some seventh generation nappies (I'm not persuaded by all the celebrity endorsement, no really) for travelling, and some baby beehinds for everyday. And DH has fixed my wireless on my laptop so hurrah hurrah.
how is everyone? Bit quiet in here.....any update sammiejam? No movements??

Hiya Girls,
No, no updatesJust a KILLER painful lady-area and swelling everywhere. Lil Blue is not really moving much anymore, he just kinda rolls around and occasionally tries to dislocate my hip-bones and snap ribs. I think he's totally outta room.
Omg LMiss, your idea for a "Mother Knows Best" special of Airport would be FANTASTIC. My Mama is a crazy little ole hippy artist who lives in the desert and knows EVERYTHING about birthin' (according to her) She also, like your mother, comes up with these insane theories about things and gets mad when i gently try to debunk her ludicrous suggestions. I mean this is a woman who PUT COFFEE IN MY BOTTLE AGED 5 WEEKS! and sticky-taped ribbons to my head from the day I was born. The other day she suggested that we have damn HOMEBIRTH and just cancel the hospital. She was dead serious too... this was after i told her about the very strict visiting hours at Sunnybank Private. I am actually concerned. There is no way on GODS GREEN EARTH they are going to be able to keep this woman away from her grandbaby between the hours of 1 and 3 without restraints and security. She (and her sister! my Aunt) HID in cupboards and under beds to elude the staff when my cousin had her baby a couple months ago. My DH cant wait. He is looking forward to the "show" as he calls it and her cookin'. She goes crazy in the kitchen and its non-stop gorging. I am hoping he will be soooo pitiful at home without me that she will be distracted and will have to stay home and look after him. I can only hope and pray lol...
Lise - MEN. *sammie rolls eyes* I wish TO GOD that pregnancy simulator suits were more available. They just DONT GET IT sometimes. They think its all fun and games when we are lying around on the couch watching tv and such. They dont seem to grasp that we are INCUBATING HUMAN BEINGS and its lonely and painful at times. We need someone there to fetch things and find the remote when it gets lost under cushions. I hope yours was sufficently sorry when he got home and that he spoilt you rotten (just like you deserve).
Kyra - Dont be jealous hun, you will be here soon enough! I am wish I was back where you are, still able to move without shrieking in pain, plenty of time to relax and get things done. I feel like I am in a mad rush against time. Its the nesting thing kicking into over-drive. For some reason I get these crazy ideas in my head like "The baby CANNOT BE BORN until the driveway is free of sticks." or "This child CANNOT MAKE AN APPEARANCE until I have wiped off the laundry shelves". Its lunacy!
Today I am going to try and wipe down all the kitchen cupboards and then clean the second bathroom for my mother. FUN! (not). How are the nose-bleeds etc? I got them as well. SOooooo bloody annoying. Not much you can do but wait it out. I think its caused by all the extra blood volume. Again, FUN!
Boc - omg. We have a week to go. A WEEK!!!!!! I just got the nursery finished too. I am trying to figure out how to post the pics here. I havent been able to view yours yet, the album is empty? I do love your profile pic. You are as cute as a button
Ok well i have rambled on enough. Hope you are all feeling great today. Big rubs to all tums

omg - they actually hid in cupboards???? that's astonishing... you'll have to tell her that the very strict new terrorist legislation introduced by Big Kev extends to suspicious behaviour in a maternity ward... tell her she might get shipped off to the australian equiv of Gitmo unless she behaves
it gives me great pleasure to announce the arrival of BOCS baby boyITS A BOY

Just dropping in the say Congrats BOC on the arrival of Jagger. The last of my belly buddies in here and another boy to add to the list.
Good to see that some of our new mummies to be are going to be evening up the list by adding some pink.

Mindhugs - so sorry to hear that news, its absolutely awful when you've had nine weeks to get used to the idea. I know it's probably an old wives tale, but when I miscarried, I was told that it was easier to get pregnant again once you've done it once. I had a month off, one BFN and then a BFP next month. Here's hoping you get the same luck. Very best wishes and hopefully see you in here soon x
