Hi guys, Back from camping! It was amazing and a lot of fun, yes hard work but worth it to see the kids play in the surf! Molly was mostly good too which made it easier! We think we will try going once a month or so! Grace is beside me at the moment holding Molly getting the best cuddles....so lovely to see the sisters so in love!
DH had to go straight back to work, whicc left me with all the unpacking and washing AHHHH and on top of it all someone wanted to come and look at the car. Hope someone buys it soon, sick of showing people.
Gotta run, Mollys cracked it and the kidlets need to get to bed. Talk more tomorrow lovely ladies!

-
Oh melstar so bad so early, you'll have to sleep sitting up soon!
Kellbell: 31weeks wow time flies (when its not you whos pregnant!)
-
Hey ladies,
Tegam-nice to hear you had a great camping trip and i remember when i had my 3 boys 4,2,and a newborn very hectic at dinner/bath and bedtime but so much fun.
Now i will have an 18,15,13 and a newborn what a difference they can cook me dinner pack their own lunch boxes ect while i have all the time in the world with Ella no more hectic evenings with all little ones i am sooo looking forward to it.
Melster-i have never had heartburn until this pregnancy and only when i eat acidic food but yuk is it awful.
AFM-I have a busy week this week i have my next scan on thursday cross fingers the placenta is well and truely out of the way now for a natural birth i see the OB on friday so that should be the decision day.
-
Ferrals that must be a relief to finally have some answers re delivery. Your boys are going to be so helpful with little miss Ella. My eldest (although not as old as your boys) should be very helpful in the fact she can get herself ready for school and pack her lunch etc if I'm desperate. I usually do it for her but she is capable of doing it herself if I have a bad night and I'm lucky the school bus stops right outside our front door.
Well its day 8 of the runs for me (so sorry about the TMI) and my day started with a migraine so I called in sick for work. The chocolate bar I ate made my migraine go away so now I'm feeling pretty good. I'm even having a good day now with the SPD.
Ferrals I delivered a bub the other night which was due same day miss Ella is. Made me think of you and your little girl. He was doing really well and weighed just over 3kilos so a great size.
Not much to report from my end. Only a few days to go before I can deliver locally if bub was to arrive (which she wont) if it were to happen before then I'd still be on a plane to Sydney so I'm hanging out for that milestone! 2days to go.
S&S if your out there I hope all is going well with you and your little Obie!
Dampyre thinking of you nd hope your back soon.
Melster sounds aweful the vomit in your mouth. Hope your Ob appointment is superb!
-
Mildez-thats no good having the runs your poor old pooper must be red raw by now.
And i know what you mean Miss Ella could come anytime now but they way she is wriggling around in there i thinks she might be still a little small at our last u/s she was only 4lb 6oz about 2kg and she still flips around she was transverse last night for a few hours OMG! my belly looked weird i had a head poking out one side and a bum out the other and it was pretty uncomfortable so i think she will have a bit more weight to put on before she arrives i am hoping she might show around 37-38 weeks just before Abbi's Bday would be nice.
Oh! what i'd give to have a bus stop at the front door of my house we have to drive the eldest to the train station at 5am for him to get to work and the 2 younger ones go to high school about a 10 min drive away so i have to have them there by 8am i just drive them in my PJ's hope i never break down:redface:.
Anyway 44 days to go for you getting closer now have you packed your bags ready?
-
Ferrals fortunately other then the first day I've only been hit with the runs approx 3times a day so my butt feels fine and it hasn't effected out sex life lol stupid veins DH can't keep up with me. He is probably going to be relieved when little miss is out so my libido takes a nose dive.
My hospital bags are 1/3rd packed. I've got a few pj's, undies, pads, toiletries and non maternity fat clothes. I haven't added bubs things in yet but have a small packet of nappies, wipes, just need to add her things. The hospital provides crap stuff (if they didn't it would be pinched) so I wont need alot and I'd prefer to not have to wash as soon as I get home. I also desperately need to add camera batteries before I forget and charger (there so important)
We are moving in around 12months and I'll then have to drive the kids to the bus stop or else 40kms to school (its out of town)
-
mildez...i remember with dd my battery memory was nearly full and they didnt know how to delete them so i only got a selected few of my csection.......this time i swear i will be ready lol
ferrals....well i do hope u get some good news then
tegam......lol i just might.....
Had my ob app and everythings all good.........except..........he is away again from the 4th till the 14th and im due the 19th.....i got the fill in with my dd coz he was away..ill be spewin if i dont get him again......and he said about having a csection...............so anyones recommendations on having a vaginal after a csection? He said it can be dangerous if it burst etc....my dd just over 2.....so do u think it will be ok? Or is it safer to have another csection?
Also got what we owe child support........but we dont know if this is the final figure or what this is but they say we owe her 5700.00 and she has already text us demanding the money.......but we dont know what this amount is and if its the final amount or what........if this is the amount then im kinda ok with it as long as its no more....she has already said she wants it to buy a car.....so a cent wont go on those poor kids....we will still fight it......will be interesting to see if thats the whole amount
-
melster - i dont get my ob if he isnt on call when i go into labour , its really annoying, like why spend an hour each way travelling and all that money to see him if he isnt going to be there? if i want him to definatly be there i have to pay 2grand! grr!
sorry, i dont have any advice for you, first pregnancy :)
-
Melster~ it sucks with child support i think at times that the parent should have to show recepits to prove that the money is being use on the children especially that much money. My bf ex use to send him demanding text messages but she has stopped since they have been in and out of court since then. If you can fight as much as possible. CS was way off what they said my BF owed he went to court come to find out he owed nothing. They were behind on the paper work and deposited his checks ( 3 weeks late)
Dory~ i know what you mean about just looking at your baby as they sleep i know at this point that i need my sleep but just watching her loves to fall asleep with me holding her and i will just look at her. As far as her sleeping its gotten better she has her good nights and bad but in my eyes its all worth it. I was out for a couple of hours the other day bf had her home i come home i walk over to her and said hi and she smiled and cooed at me made me so happy.
-
This will be a selfish post-Oh no girls i have Diabetes so unfair. My levels came back high. I have felt really well nothing like i felt when i had it with ella. Now i have to trapse into the middle of the city to see someone im sure will cost a fortune and theyll push for an induction which i was hoping to avoid. Im so upset boo hoo for me :-(
And i went to my OB with my pants inside out what a crappy day all around :wall:
-
Hi everybody!
Hope everyone is well and feeling rested!
Forshelby - your ticker is getting me excited!!! Its almost run outta space to tick too!
Dory - thanks for the avatar comp :) I love it too! And cant wait to add a little pink or blue bundle to it :D
Tegam - so nice to hear you all had a happy camping trip! It must be so nice to be out in the fresh air with the family! Monthly trips sound amazing! Damn Melbourne and its cold weather!!! We'd love to get away more if there weather was better!
Ferrals - yep your little girl is sooooo close now! Im so thrilled just thinking about how much you are gunna enjoy all those newborn girly cuddles! Oh yeah and congrats on the double RAk!!! OMG! How loved you must feel! :) PS have you heard anything back from Murraycod?
Dampyre - sorry to hear your having problems, hope they sort themselves out soon x
Melstar - ohh yuk! Heartburn sounds horrible! Ive managed to completely dodge it so far! Im carrying quite low so dont know if thats why?!
Possum - I know what u mean by not feeling preg, my belly really popped out but i didnt overly feel preg till about 15wks! Bub is getting bigger - a 'lemon' now! Love checking your ticker! :)
Mildez, Kellbell, Alish, Angelfish and all those ive missed.... A BIG :hello:
AFM - Spent a while in emergency yesterday with kidney pain, all ok though, they did a renal scan and had a peek at bubby which is was nice and its just the Hydronephrosis playing up and bubs pressing on everything, so ive been put on rest this week which is nice but i always stress about work - i feel guilty for being at home! Why am i such a worry wart!!!??
Before yesterdays drama's we had a nice day looking at prams and im officially soooo confused as to what type to get and what style!!? We looked at Valco, iCandy, Emmaljunga, Buggaboo, Mountain Buggy, Baby Jogger etc etc! IM so confused! Anyone have any recommendations? Nothing seems to tick every box for us and im not sure which way to go!
In your experiences, how important is it to have a pram that faces towards you? Did your babes ever get distressed facing the other way? I know my nephews used to scream when they couldnt see my sister but how common a problem is that?? :help:
-
kellbell - sorry to hear about the diabetes, you poor love, must be a shock when you feel so well! BUt i have to chuckle about your pants - you poor darling!! How embarrassing!
-
T-Hopes-having my 4th i can honestly say the lighter and easier to get in and out of the car the better i think chunky prams are a waste of time they are to big and bulky and heavy and in no time bubs like to be in a sitting position to see everything i like a good quality 3 wheel stroller that lays right down for a newborn and can sit up for a bigger bub i have got a you beaut mountain buggy which can be a jogger also it was $600 but will last up to 40kg what 40kg kid will still be in a pram then i have got a sheepskin in it for the newborn comforts and it is sooo easy to push even one handed.
I suggest taking one for a walk around the store use it one handed and try to fold it up and pick it up and see how you go.
Kellbell-sorry about the DB what a bummer.
AFM- DH court case was today it went a bit both ways we got the charges of the false kicking allegations dropped but the assault charge for the hit still went ahead so DH has lost his security licence for good and is on an 18 month good behaviour bond we have to pay $140 in court costs and $550 for a dental bill the d#ckhead had after the incident.
And to prove that they are just money hungry compo chasers they asked the judge to be awarded $12,000 for future dental work :o the judge was on our side and asked them for proof of dental work needed and a quote and they said they had to wait for his teeth to go bad first before the dentist will touch them so the judge said well i am not awarding you anything and said when and if you need dental work go to the victims compensation tribunal and put in a claim and you have to prove to them that dental work is needed and there is capped compensation amounts for different parts of the body and 2 teeth are not going to cost $12,000 so it is up to the tribunal to decide and they will not pay them if they cant get the money out of us so lets hope they are full of sh#t and dont get a cent
-
Hi ladies, sorry no proper persies. I'm out of data for my internet so doing this on my phone. Tedious! I have been reading and lurking tho.
Kellie- I have GD and was really upset when they told me. However I've been lucky as it seems mild. I was told to modify my diet and it turns out I can enjoy all things in moderation. My best tip is to stay away from sugary drinks. If you want to talk more pm me. The fact you feel good is a positive sign.
AFM- Bubby is still partially engaged, but is now facing the right way. Not much else to report.. I'm getting increasing pelvic pressure and pain, and people are commenting my belly has dropped. I had some semi regular cramping and backpain last night which woke me up, but when I woke up this morning I realised it was def. Not labour since I slept. lol. While at the dr this morning I was watching a young mum try to comfort her sick little boy. He was no older than my first bub would have been, and today is his/her angelversary. Anyway he was getting really distressed and vomiting so she asked reception how long it would be. I overheard she was seeing the same dr as me and the receptionist said there was one more in front of her. I realised it was me, and asked reception to let her go in first. The young mum was so grateful, I nearly cried for her lol. She seemed so surprised I would wait longer to help her out. I was more surprised that reception didn't just switch us around without me having to ask. When I realised they did nothing to help her except give her tissues to clean up her boy, i was annoyed for her. I am not ill, surely a sick baby should be seen first?
The most surprising part was the old woman giving me dirty looks and rolling her eyes after I gave up my appt time. Maybe she felt like she was more important?? No idea. Anyway it makes me a little sad when I do something random to help a stranger and people are shocked. People should have more empathy. Besides, if it was MY baby, I would have appreciated a non urgent patient stepping aside for me. Anyway I'm harping on lol, I just hope I managed to brighten that poor lady's day just a little.
I will try to keep up but can't promise anything until my internet is up and running again. :) Big belly rubs to all!
-
Wow forshelby. I cant believe how close you are now, I hope you can get you're internet working so that we can be fully updated in the next few weeks. So excited for you..
Ferrals...well thats kinda good news isnt it? Apart from his licence...What other work can he do? Will he be ok getting another job and working.....Do you feel a little better its all over with now?
Thopes..i have a forward facing one now and hated it with DD because i had troubles sitting her in it...(first baby and carried her alot etc) but for this one i have one facing me. For me personally its easier being able to see them and to be able to amuze them and keep them quiet etc but its just personally prefrence. Its good especially when they are young and insecure and want to see mummy. Defiantly check the size because its a bugger when the wheels are too big and you cant sweeze through grocery shopping and through the isles etc.. also practise collapsing them yourself and make sure there eazy because some are really complicated and hard. Make sure they have a full lie down feature on them for when they are young and if you need any attachments like toddler chairs, and rain features and make sure they have a drink holder and storage place to put nappys..even make sure you're nappy bag can fit over the handle..
Kellbell....im so sorry to hear about you're diabetes. It must be so disappointing. Im sorry about you're pants..i had to have a little giggle tho...i have had days like that :redface:
Angelfish.......oh it soooooo sucks with Child support..Im not too bad with the amount if thats the final figure because i was expecting 10'000.00 20000.00 or more.....but they should make it so they have to spend it on the kids...but she wont..she just wants a new car.....and figures after 10 yrs her ex should have to pay for it...for her mucking her life up...........i have already filled out the objection!!!!!! and we will send it tonight. I can tell its going to be full on dramas from here on out with her especially when she doesnt get her own way and that we told them about her buisness and that she will probably get in trouble with the tax man, CS and centerlink.......we will probably end up with all the kids (which unfortunatley is my greatest fear)..only thing is when everything goes wrong on her life she takes it out on everyone else..and we all suffer...so sometimes its easier to let her go....but not this time...im over it and she deserves everything she gets.....and when she finds out about the pregnancy it will be even worse.............she has no morals and no cares..which worries me because then she really doesnt have much to loose..and we will have to pick up the pieces..i am trying to make hubby stand strong this time and not give in to her or the kids.......enough is enough....its time for this too stop...any which way..she needs to know he is not going to come running..kids or not..its the only way she will stop..
Alish...my ob was going through a break up last pregnancy and was away alot i was spewing...but we love him...and he had gone away and then i had DD 3 weeks early..the other ob was good..but i wanted my ob......and now he told me last appointment he is away 1 week before im due....so i guess it will boils down to if i have a c-section which i will have to have two weeks early or when this baby will come and it i will go my due date.....i hope i get him this time...now its a decision between C-section and trying for natural........
I am 20 weeks and have put on 10kilo..do you think thats alright?
-
Forshelby-woohoo girl any day now i have my u/s and OB appoint thur/fri so i am hoping i wont have to have a ceasar then you will go before me.
And what a nice thing you did for that lady and little boy who cares what the old bag thinks if it made you feel good that is all that matters.
And your angelversary is hard try not to dwell on what could have been and consentrate on what will be soon.
I am in the same situation my Abbi would be 2 in 18 days i wonder if Ella will come on her big sisters BDay.
Melster-everyone is different i am 36 weeks and have put on 7-8kgs and my last 3 pregnancies i put on 14kg 10kg and 8kgs where my 2 closest girlfriends have put on between 20-30kgs which is a huge amount but they lost it so if i were you just keep your eye on it mainly because the more weight the uncomfortable you will be and the risk of high BP ect i can tell you now my 7-8kgs that i have put on and i feel really uncomfortable i think little miss will be my biggest yet i have never had a baby over 7lb but i think she will most definately go over.
And DH loss of security licence is a big blow he has done security for 15 years so now has to retrain for a new career no one will employ a 38yr old with no other qualifications and now a recored criminal record for something so stupid all because we couldnt afford a lawyer and we had proof he was lieing.
