OMG it is SO CALM outside it is creepy.. not a leaf is moving.. the calm before the storm.. We are evacuating to the school 2 mins away from our house. I really dont think our home will be standing at the end of it.. Found out some 'secret info' from the SES last night.. they have sent 200,000 body bags in, THAT has freaked me out! Will check in as soon as i can, hopefully we dont lose reception for too long. Thanku so much for ur thoughts xxx
OMG Reet, what a horrible thing to find out. Sad thing is that it really does seem like it is going to be that bad a lot of people will refuse to leave their houses and by looking at the satallite imageds and radar images, it is going to be a doozy. Hope your family is one of the many that will make it. The eye shoould be hitting about midnight going by the track map.
S&S- How is everything?
Angelfish- My friend went through a very similar thing. She got almost no time with just bub or bub and dh in hospital and then when they got hom it got even worse. Well wishers and MIL would not leave them alone to establish a proper bond and yeah, she ended up with very severe PND. I hope things settle down quickly and you get to spend time as a family with your new and beautiful baby.
clairesmummy- it doesn't seem to go long between feeling like puking and actually doing so lol. The night before mine started I thought that it would be a good idea to go get a bujcket the nexgt day... I basically woke up with my head in the toilet bowl that next morning haha!
Ferrals- good luck.
There is way to much for me to remember to do proper persies so sorry to the MANY I have missed this morning. I do read your posts though
AFM- Still sick as and my nipples ARG! Surely they wont just hurt more as the pregnancy continues.... So bad as they are now Patiently waiting for the NT scan now, just another week left I think.
Kellbell...yeah i know. im 16 weeks already. yeah i agree, i have to run around after my DD and work a few days a week. Think thats why i havent put on as much weight. My first pregnancy took forever as well.
Angelfish...do you think you have post natal, or just the baby blues? Oh i can completely understand about the step kids. We had two living with us and the other with there mum and apart from all the crazy hormones and the post natal i just wanted to be home alone. There mum wouldnt take them so i kicked up a massive storm. He eventually got them to go to there uncles for a couple weeks. I wanted bonding time, but also learning how to bfeed and i was a first time mother and wanted to suss things out.... Is there a way you can try and change it, tell them your sick or something and theyll have to come another weekend?
Clairesmummy...she does sound like a dragon lady
Reet....oh i hope you're house is still standing and everyone is safe..thinking of you
angelfish - i would feel the same, im big on bonding time, especially if you have hardly been together as a family. hope you start feeling better soon!
all good here fires are about 30 mins away we will be fine at our house! just crap with the smoke!
clairesmummy -shes not a dragon..shes a b*tch haha! dont let her rain on your parade!
sorry for anyone ive missed, its my lunchbreak and im stuffing my face hope youre all having a good day!
Reet stay safe. That body bag thing sounds weird. I'd be inclined to think someone has told a little fib. That seems excessive.
Yes Ferrals I tell myself that its almost over and I'll have my longed for little baby and then I can worry about my appearance.
Angelfish boo to having MIL stuck and your DH kids coming. Sounds like a nightmare. I had a similar problem with my MIL when DD was born. She came to help but all it meant was not been able to relax. MIL did try she cooked and cleaned which she did an awesome job but I didn't have anytime with DH and DD and even 3days in hospital MIL was with DH and DD so there was no us time. We couldn't even discuss names between each other without MIL trying to name bub. I hope you have some much needed time to yourselves soon. I've given DH the lecture this time but problem is MIL is coming again. Atleast this way I hopefully can BF and shower in the delivery room without hiding naked under a blood stained sheet (DH let both his parents in within minutes of DD been born then they didn't leave) Arrr family. Don't you love them!
Ferrals hoping to hear great news that your placenta has hiked up the hill. I'll be so excited for you if it has. Also hope your DS gets good results.
Sorry if I miss anyone, I'm doing these persies from memory and my brain is partially cooked in this heat. Blerrrrghhhhh
Reet - What an awful thing to hear.. I hope it was just a rumour. You know what people can be like during the drama of an approaching cyclone. I'm so glad you guys evacuated and I know you'll be okay. I'll be thinking of you, stay safe hun!
Angelfish - Don't be afraid to ask for what you need. Tell everyone you need some time just as the three of you to bond. If you can't get out of having DP's kids there, at least make it clear to him that he will need to keep them occupied and out of your hair while you tend to the baby etc. It's not ideal, but it's better than feeling overwhelmed trying to 'do it all'. If you feel at any time you aren't coping, speak up. Scream and yell if you have to, just don't suffer quietly.
Sunshine - I hope everything's okay hun.... where are you??
Clairesmummy - Congrats on a great scan, yay!!! Don't worry about your overhang... you should see my massive belly LOL.
Everyone else - Hi and belly rubs to all
AFM - I think it's time to retreat to the bathtub for a while.................. my god it's hot I don't even want to know the temp. I'm guessing over 30.
To hot for lots of persies just wanted to say OMG! reet i got goose bumps when i read your post i hope the school is safe i will have your family in my thoughts and prayers.
AFM-Well unfortunately the placenta has not budged one bit it is still a grade 4 placenta previa and no way can i have a natrual birth it completely covers the cervix.
I have to see the OB friday to discuss a date for c section but it will be before the 16th of march the OB wasnt to sure to let me get to 38 weeks he was looking at 37 weeks which will be about the 10th of march that is 5 weeks away.
Also we paid $225 for a 3D-4D scan to get some good pictures only for little miss to hide her face the whole time.
She wriggled and moved and kicked but had her face buried in the placenta with her hand over it so we did not get one picture i was so disapointed.
Oh! and she weighs 4 pounds her little head and belly are measuring 2 weeks behind but her other measurements are spot on 32 weeks so she is going to be a danty little girl by the looks of it.
Hiya - been gallavanting about and missed a few days.....
Reet - glad to hear you're safe and that Cairns didn't end up too bad. I have some friends who were due to move to Cairns this weekend - needless to say they're waiting a while now but not too long - they both have medical type jobs to go to.
Sunshine - thinking of you my sweet.... I keep saying to myself that no news is good news.....?
Ferrals - sorry the ole placenta didn't cooperate.
Angel - ah Sweetie - when they are first at home, from my own experience, there's not a lot feeling happy - it's more just a lot of hard work, exhaustion, confusion, tears and lots of self doubt. A lot of women don't feel "happy" for a while... so go gently on yourself. You are getting to know Honor and she's learning to live in the world. It's all pretty hard stuff so honestly go easy on yourself. Wish that you could get a break from the step kids though..... if you can't avoid them coming, then when they are there - just focus on what you and Honor need and not anyone else. I know it's hard but be strong. You will get there, and you are doing a great job. Your little girl loves you and you love her, just you're so tired to really enjoy it at the mo. But if you just can't stop crying or feeling really down, then see if you can go to the Dr and also find someone to talk to. It's ahrd to know the difference between baby blues and depression when you're in the middle of it, but PND goes on for much longer. Oh hope you're ok in that crazy weather that the USA is having.... so much snow. What a nightmare to be stuck in a blizzard with your MIL. Yikes.... arsenic anyone?
Forshelby- I LOVE the visual of your belly sticking out of the water in the bath... just awesome....
Kell & Clairesmummy- try not to worry too much.. but I know... mission impossible.
Not too much time for more persies, sorry. Thinking of you all and your darling little bubs. Take care.
