London miss~ Interesting.I bet your DH LOVES that story!Im not sure my dh's 'privates'would fit in a noose.LOL He tells me that lack of sex has made his bits revert inside his body and that he no longer feels like a man.hahaha.What a silly bugger!
I am still too paranoid to do the deed.It has been 15 weeks! Poor man.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Is it just me or does it feel a bit quiet around here at the moment?!
kyra- don't tell me next 10 weeks are going to drag, I was hoping they'd go very quickly but clearly not!!
lm - thanks for the story, I might hold onto that one until I need to threaten DH one day...!
green - thanks for sharing your story. Must be so lovely to be on that side of things! Hope you little family is going well.
smithy - glad to see you still lurking around, I don't think this thread would be the same without you here! Hope you and coops are loving every minute of your princess
JBM and kay kay - you ladies WILL be here one day. All of us here were once where you are so don't give up!! Sending lots of baby vibes your way xx
wantbaby - hope you're going well and that your drought ends soon!!
AFM - having a great week! As you know we had the scan on Monday and I don't think I've stopped smiling since! Then yesterday we ordered the pram, cot and change table and today we picked up our new car!! An expensive week for sure but good fun!! Now that we know the chicklet is a girl DH and I have been having some serious name discussions and have agreed on three we like, so I think we'll wait till after the birth to see which one is best.
Anyway, hope you're all well. Must go take another peek at the car, tragic aren't I

Question for a slightly boring Thursday... Mothers in Law....
I send Mum and MIL a regular update on Grandbaby, on the basis that I'm here and they are missing out a bit... and my MIL has forwarded my most recent epic to all DH's siblings and partners of siblings. There's nothing in there that's particularly embarrassing, but it's a bit gushy if you know what I mean... bit baby obsessed/ monothematic. I feel a bit silly!
how are all your MIL? Don't get me wrong, mines great fun and good company, bit more 'young' than my mum, in approach not age. But it's never the same as with your own Mum is it
Lise~
Wow what a splurge...furniture,car etc. Our car has a damaged radiator,the side mirror is hanging on by masking tape and we now think because of the overheating,that we have a cracked engine.My car is almost 13 yrs old so we are looking for a new car but just cant afford one.I have been stuck at home since xmas.I dread,taking out another loan as we still rent and it just feels like we are getting nowhere financially.Im a saver,DH is a spender so we dont see eye to eye.I have my scan at 19 weeks so 4 more to go.Im thinking about finding out too,but will wait and see how i feel on the day.
Did you get a 3d/4d scan included?
Smithy~
Hahaha.Your funny.I had a dream lastnight that i had sex and started spotting so my fear is even in my subconcious! DH has been having longer showers....eeewww but if i get to keep my hands clean then im ok with that.Gee how lazy am i???? LOL
Hope your sweet little darling is growing strong.She is delightful!
London Miss~
My MIL is a mad elvis fan,spends over $1000 a week on personal shopping and acts very young.We took years to get along but have finally got a good relationship.She now rings me for fashion advice but she is definately the opposite to me.DH's parents live almost 2 hours away now so we dont see or hear from them much but they are good in the sense that they help us out financially.My hubby is in his final year of an apprenticeship so things have been tight.
My mum,on the other hand is like my best friend.I tell her everything and she lives across the street.My MIL doesnt come close to my mum.Mum is the best.
AFM i am sure im feeling movements over the past 3 days.I used my doppler yesterday but bub kept moving around and i wanted to record the heartbeat onto my phone but when i would get the right spot,peanut would move.Funny little thing.I was reading my book and bub should be 11.5cm crown to rump.Thats soooo long to fit in my belly..plus the length of the legs.I was surprised to see how big it was.I guess i put my books down for a fortnight or so.
Hoping evryone and their bubs are doing great!!
Have a great day!xx

Hi all just lurking seeing that all you lovely ladies are doing well. Dont wish you time away as before you know it it will all be over and the routine of feed change sleep will set in. ( Baby sleeping that is not you) Dont get me wrong i absolutely love it especially the night feeds when all through the house not a sound can be heard. It is just so peaceful just me and Xavier no interuptions.
JBM Thankyou so much for checking on me. He is still gaining weight and I have stopped topping him up but he is still not back to his birth weight. He is so tiny compared to Campbell. Speaking of which must be off someone needs a bath and a feed before I retire for the night.

Morning all. Wa hey it's friday. Anyone in Melbourne, what a storm yesterday eh? That was the biggest electrical storm I've ever been in. Never seen rain like it, felt like I was right underneath the centre at one point.
What have you all got planned for the weekend? Saph, I'm guessing you'll be breastfeeding mainly and not off out clubbing
London Miss~ YOU have a headache? My head should explode with whats going on in my world right now.Tomorrow i have to attend a wedding in which 2 people whom i have had my problems with,will be attending.My husbands ex girlfriend who is a psycho and tried to break us up for our first 2 years together,and our best mans,45yr old drunk of a girlfriend who lashed out at me one night because she was 'high' for no reason.We havnt spoken since. The only thing that makes me feel comfortable is turning up with my DH on my arm and my clearly showing belly.The ex said i would never marry him or have babies with him and the 'drunk' told me once that i didnt have a baby because i wasnt trying hard enough or simply didnt deserve a baby!! I had been through IVF,IUI etc but i didnt want it enough,APPARENTLY! (Stupid B!!!H)
Lastnight a solicitor turned up with papers of intent to possess the house as our lovely? landowners have not paid their mortgage since we began our rental agreement 6 months ago! Not sure if we need to move out or not but hope not as its too stressfull,we have no money and Connor just started high school here.
Last of all...finally...because the list of dramas is getting toooooo long in my life...my 12 year old car has just died so i rely on my dh to take me to scans etc in his company work TRUCK or i just stay at home.
Lets hope tomorrow goes o.k,the owners pay their debt and i find a nice 2nd hand car for under $15000 as that is all thats in my life savings!
Gee i have a migraine just typing this stuff.
Hope you have a great weekend.The storm sounded fantastic and scary! I love a good storm.I didnt sleep at all lastnight as it was soooo hot and my hips were killing me from sleeping on my side. I dont look forward to bed anymore with my legs hurting so much.
OH and the forgetfulness!...Last week i left the gas stove on from 7pm til 3am when DH got up for a drink and saw the blue flame burning.yesterday i almost fed my budgie,washing powder instead of bird seed and i just questioned DH over the phone about what he wrote,then scribbled out,on a note i had left him,only to be told i must have written something myself because he didnt.I remember now that i did.
Must go as i just realised i forgot to eat my breakfast.

Gotta love the ticker ticking away the days until the expected arrival day. Well Xavier is two weeks old today. He is feeding well and should be back to his birth weight by now. He was 140g off on wed so three more days and he should have made this up. He is still our tiny little bubba.
Have about 10 of my work buddies coming for arvo tea today to meet our newest addition. I also have a three year old going to a good home, and at times I am willing to consider a bad home even. His sleeping routine has become erratic so he is extremely tired and grumpy. Oh and very loud, Who needed to pay $90 to get Xaviers hearing checked, just let Campbell scream and watch him jump. LOL
Well I should go and finish cleaning the house. I know no housework for months and now my pelvis is feeling 99% better I am back into it.
Oh just a word of warning if you have any stitchers down there make sure you report anything different asap. My stitchers came undone and I got an infection. I caught it at the early stages as I rang ob as soon as it felt different. Have been on mass dose of antibiotics and poor DH has been having to check it everyday. I keep telling him it is the closest he is going to get to it for a very long time.
big hello to you all.
