:wall::wall::wall: i ddddiiiiiddddd (read in a whingeing voice) JBM... didn't work! ah well. it'll come when it's ready. :) .... i hope!
Oh grub... hope it happens very soon!
JBM - yep :) I can't believe the difference in only 4 weeks. Glad you're feeling better!
Aimee - Hope you're still taking a break :)
Hello to everyone I've missed :)
LOL. is all i can say. well someone had funtrying those things. good luck to you. yeah they come when they're ready. fingers crossed it's soon. in no time at all you'll have your baby. :-):
hello chatter boxes, I cant keep up.
JBM - yay! hope that means your morning sickness is almost over now!!!
Trishy - I always laugh when I read the comments on your ticker, do you add them yourself, so funny. Hope you're feeling well!
Kass - hope you're enjoying looking at your new photo on the fridge!
Grub - oh no! I hate the pre-labour stuff when it stops and starts, cheeky bub, hope you're managing to stay comfy and get some rest though. Does this mean your mum is here to help out now?
My mum is away travelling around the country at the moment and I do miss her, but she should be back about a month before bub comes (fingers crossed). Argh only 9 weeks to go am feeling a bit overwhelmed with my to-do list. Have a tonne of birthday presents and things to get organised as well so don't have to do too much shopping with a newborn!!!
Hi to everyone - take care and hope you're well!
yeah aimee i still hadn't done anything at 9 weeks out.. but you'll suddenly have a flurry of activity and wallah! it's all done :) ... i hope lol.
my mum gets here on saturday, so that'll be good for ds.
i have a terrible feeling i'm going over :(
hope everyone is well... gee you are all getting rather preggo! lol. great isn't it!
aimee: the to do list seems to never end does it. good luck for the next 9 weeks. it's so nice that you miss your mum. how sweet. hope you get everything done and as you said then less to do with a new born baby. x x
grub: not long til your mum gets here. with my first i was conviced i was going to go over by 2 weeks or something terrible like that and he ended up coming 3 wees early so i had a nice suprise. i hope you don't go over i think that must be hard and it seems like forever this last bit. i can remember it well. but in no time at all baby will be here and you'll think what did i do with my time before baby was here ?. lol ha ha. lots of good luck to you.
trishy: i am being a chatter bpx as i went 3 weeks with no internet and am only working 2 days a week during school hols so have lots of time on my hands to do nothing. lol. hope all is going well for you.
nothing new to report for me.
chat soon to all
Hi ladies just thought id quickly post to say helllloooooo!!! Im off work this week doing a big house clean and we get new carpet on friday :) cant wait i hate the stuff we have at the moment! So tired but it feels so good to know how clean the house is! DH and i went away on the weekend for 'our last time away before bub comes' we had such a great time, it was nice to laugh again and just show each other how much we still do love each other (not that we thought we didnt) but as you would all know after a long time of trying to concieve and then being so busy and tired all the time you forget to show each other that little bit of extra love and attention.
I hope you all doing well, thinking of you grubs hope it happens soon :)
Hi girls
Haven't posted for ages but have been reading frequently.
Grub!! Any day/hour/minute now and it will be on. It's so hard eh, you know armageddon is upon you when bub comes but you can't not want it to happen right now!
I'm glad everyone else is going so well.
We have three weeks to go and I am counting the days. Have started on iron injections as the spatone did absolutely nothing and I've been having near-fainting spells. So my poor bum has copped it - although it was nowhere near as painful as I was led to believe. I have a CTG booked next week just as a precaution and a couple more OB appoints then we are all systems go for my c-section. Just hanging out to meet my little bubba!
Hi to everyone - Aimee, OneDay, Mindhugs, Trishy, JBM, Lori, Possums, Kass and anyone else. Keep on baking!
xx
Hi girls! Am reading all your updates but have been having a crazy week at work covering floods in our area. Things will settle down now I think.
grub- thinking of you!! I keep checking hoping for news
I will do personals soon everyone!
afm- all good...have to have another scan next week, just to check all is ok, because my amniotic fluid is on the low side...and our boy seems to be doing well, but he is a small baby..18th percentile, so they just want to have another look... yay, get to see him again! And they now say if all is going ok, they won't induce me early, but they won't let me go past by due date either.
anyway, gotta go home, been a big day. chat soon
Hi everyone,
Have skim read over everyone's news. Seems like there is so much since I was last on here properly.
Goodluck Grub... hope bub doesn't leave you hanging too long.
AFM: I now have a new tenant in my unit and in my bungalow (so the rent from these covers half my morgage - big relief). Still trying to organise insurance though - because I am on more than 5 acres of land and rent part of it out most insurance companies won't cover me. I have only found one so far and they want to charge a fortune (over double what the other companies would charge for the same level of cover). I can't afford $40 a week just for household insurance on top of all my other insurances (like car insurance, life insurance etc). So I'm quite stressed about that. I have an insurance broker looking into it for me now.
Still no sign of work - good from the point of view that I feel so tired all the time lately, but bad from a financial point of view.
10.5 weeks to go and still so much renovating to do before I can start thinking about doing up the baby's nursery. It's currently the store room for all the stuff we had to move out of other rooms to do them.
I had some sad news this week. A friend who I have known through the Internet for 5 years (but only met face to face 3 times as she lives in Adelaide) had some very sad news. We both started on our trying-to-concieve journey as single mums around the same time (about 4 and a half years ago). She was doing private donor insemination with a guy she knew. She had to put her plans on hold for a while but recently started trying again. She has finally been to a fertility clinic for advice and has now been diagnosed with early onset menopause (she is only 41). I feel so sad for her. She wrote "now my womb will be forever empty" and I just cried when I read that. I know how hard the whole trying to concieve journey was for me and I couldn't imagine how painful it would be to invest all this time and energy into the dream just to be told - sorry it's never going to happen... it's too late. I find it hard because my heart aches for her and I want to try to help elivate her pain but I know that in some ways it might be more painful for her with me because of the fact that I am now pregnant - I have achieved her dream... and perhaps more so because our journey's were quite similar. Any advice?
It reminded me how important it is not to wait too long to start trying (or seek medical help).
