I'm giggling away, I've just done something completely mental. As you know, Mum's coming to visit me for a month after the birth. And I decided that it's a shame she's never been to Sydney (seems a shame not to see it) and she's a big opera fan. So I've booked her a seat at a matinee performance of Marriage of Figaro, and flights there and back in a day. I plan to go too, but not to the opera (I figure other patrons will protest at a month old screaming through it!!!) and I'll sit by the harbour with Baby G. The baby will need to do long haul flights soon enough, and a trip to Sydney from Melbourne can be our first (no luggage) test. It might be a complete and utter disaster, but might as well have disasters whilst Mum is about to help me! She'll have a fit, she hates surprises, and can't get her head round how easy it is to fly in Australia, she thinks it's always like that monstrousity (sp?) Heathrow where you need three hours to check in for an internal flight.
..... but finally my giraffe seems to be creeping out tenatively from underneath that damn tree!
mmmmmmmmmmm havent seen green around today girls...have you ??? i wonder were she might be anyways hun im sooooooooooo thinking of you and hope you are having your bubba
i've noticed in the last week my nipples have been quite dry and flaky, and look like they're starting to crack! I use plain sorbolene cream all over my body so have just been using that on my boobs too - but just wanted to know if there are particular creams/lotions I should/shouldn't be using in your experience? I don't want to aggravate the problem!
Londonmiss - Just wanted say that I know what you mean about not feeling PG anymore... I felt the same at roughly the same time in my pregnancy... I had no symptoms and no movement and I was really worried that my scan at 19 weeks would reveal something terrible so uch so that I wouldn't put the MCN's on layby that I wanted until I had seen that everything was ok... Which of course it was.. As for feeling movement... I didn't feel any until 21 weeks because my placent alies straight acroos the from=nt of my belly which cushions it all for a bit longer... Loving feeling all the movement now though.. And what a lovely thing to do for your Mum.. A couple of hours by Darling harbour doesn't sound too bad either...
Lise- Lansinoh is the lanolin cream I think Saph204 is referring to.. It comes in a purple and mauve tube...
Smithy - Your video is super gorgeous.. You can hear the wonder and love in your voice.. Thanks for sharing that and Miss Charlie is gorgeous just like her Mum...
Murph01 - Don't you hate flippant comments like that.. I hope that if you do look into it more that there are some answers to be had... I think you need another Bub in time.. You have too much to offer to just bring one little Murph into this world...
Miss Magpie - I hope that motherhood is still bringing you mountains of joy...
BDT - How are you going sweetie.. I am thinking of you constantly and the girls and I hope that you are not too uncomfortble.. How did you find the heat today on the coast.. It certainly knocked me for a very Aussie six...
BOC - How are you doing Hun... I love reading what you are up to cause I am so close in dates to you...
Greeslw - Hmm... Missing Huh? Sending happy vibes for whatever you are doing... I hope that there is some movement in the Green station...
AFM - Does anyone else get or have gotten bad rib discomfort.. I feel like the ribs straight under my BB's are being crushed.. It usually starts about 3.00pm in the arve and doesn't go away until I go to bed.. I also get the skin in the same place feel like it's raw and have a burning feeling... I bought 2 new maternity bras cause I went up a size but can't wear them.. Even the lycra singlets with the light elastic lining hurt.. so I'm running free in an unsupported lycra singlet at work now.. Oops.. poor work mates... Best news ever though is that I am cutting down my work hours from eight hours a day to six as of tomorrow... Woohoo... It has been starting to take it's toll and I want to look after lil Kracker and myself as much as I can...
Hi to everyone I have missed and Happy Australia day.. Aussie Aussie Aussie...
Oi Oi Oi..
lise...the cream you want is lansinoh.......it is pure lanolin and the only one you can use on your breasts and not have to wash off to breastfeed....I have been using it for a few weeks now and it is truly awesome...you use such a small amount one tube should do your whole breastfeeding journey......
