Melster~ i understand were you are coming from not 100% becouse or situtions are same but different when it comes to the ex and the kids. I am happy to hear that your scan came out good
Just wanted to say that i am so happy i found this message board i belong to a different one. And the same type of caring is not there such as it is here you all have been there to give me good advice during this long journey and i could not have be able to be so strong during allot of hard times. I just wanted to say thankyou agian.
Bec~ WooHoo for great BT results darl, that is awesome news.
Melster~ Hope things settle down soon for you darl, sending you some huge hugs. This is a time you should be enjoying with your family, ex's can be such a pain in the butt. Chin up darl and think of you your DD and your little bub. Great news for your scan.
Possums~ Thanks for the congrats darl, and woohoo for being 7 weeks, that mile stone feels like an eternity away for me atm. lol
AFM~ Well had my DR appointment yesterday and I am definately PG she also did a BT while I was int there no idea when I will get results though due to the huge flooding in our area. Feeling a little sick from time to time and very tired and a little crampy from time to time but not like AF cramps. As you may all have heard now Toowoomba was hit by huge flash floods yesterday after a deluge of rain. My DD is currently in Toowoomba with her dad so you can imagine my reaction when I seen the tragedy in toowoomba,I was a total freaked out mess big time. My DD is fine though but that first thought nearly killed me when I heard the news. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragic event.
We have our bags packed just in case tonight we are on the southside of brissie so waiting to see how much the brisbane river rises. Hope everyone in qld is safe tonight and over the following days
How scary for you clairesmummy i cant believe the water that went through toowomba
Glad your family is safe
Clairesmummy - I don't seem to have the brainpower for amusing stories these days.... plus not much happens when you don't leave the couch. LOL.... You're going to think I'm one of those annoying pg ladies who never has mood swings, but I just haven't experienced any of that. Sure I've cried over stupid stuff, but I just don't get pg rage for some reason. Maybe you could invent a code-word you can use on your DF for when you're about to get your cranky pants on so he has some warning Bubby is going really well, kicking me in the ribs constantly and punching my bladder. Time has definitely flown! I've been watching the flood coverage all day and it's just horrible. You must have had your heart in your throat worrying about your DD. So glad to hear she's ok I hope she's home safe and sound soon!
Bec - Great results. So good to hear!
Melster - Ughhh you poor thing, I hope things settle down for you soon. It must be hard, I think especially for your DH as he has two families to worry about. Glad your scan went well though.
Possums - YAY for 7 weeks When are you having a scan?
Alish - Hehe, no news is good news
Kellie - How scary, but it's good to hear you're prepared just in case. Stay safe!
AFM - Not a lot going on for me right now. Feeling very lucky not to be affected by the flooding. We're surrounded by disaster, even northern NSW is copping it, but the GC is relatively ok. Some roads have been closed but nowhere near us, so we're grateful. I'm keeping a close eye on the situation though, and hoping those who are missing are found safe.
It's been a busy few days with babysitting, having tradies in ripping out dodgy insulation, meeting the owners of my house and organizing aircon...... oh and getting the car looked at too. *phew* So glad that's all done. Tomorrow's plan is to sleep in (as much as my bladder will allow, LOL) and then head out for my GTT. Round 2 of my GTT I should say. I think that's about it for me! I hope everyone is well!
My MIL house is highset so well head there if we need too scary packing stuff thinking about what we would take end of the day as long as were safe the material things dont matter
We did a big food shop it was crazy people grabbing everything not nailed down. If were cut off well be living on baked beans.
Its def dark days for qld at the moment - very scary times :-(
Becnxavi: Congrats on your good news! Hope you enjoy your first scan : )
Ferrals: Poor puddy tat! Hope little mowgli is better soon.
Melster: Great news on the 12wk scan! Shame you are under so much stress at the moment. Must be tough having an important part of your life that you can't much control.
T-Hopes: Yes, pls go to the GP. Maybe kidney infection? Hope you feel better soon.
Kellbell: How scary! I hope you all stay safe and dry and don't have to move.
Clairesmummy: You poor thing! I can only imagine the heart attack you got when you saw the news. I'm sooo relieved for you your DD is safe. Hope you have her back in your arms soon.
Tegam: Glad your family is in a safe area of QLD.
Forshelby: Good luck for the GT test tomorrow.
Alish: Are you due for a scan Friday? More than halfway there!
Possums: Congratulations on your BFP! We must be due about the same time. Our usernames are similar too. Could be confusing!
AFM: Been feeling disgust-amundo (if that's a word i can borrow from the Fonze!) Not sure how much is pg nausea and how much is a bit of a tummy bug that DD seems to have. Probably a bit of both. But i've been feeling gross all week. And still very tired. Falling asleep on the couch here there and everywhere! And very sore nipples. Tricky because DD has a bit of a bb obsession and is always trying to grab them when i'm getting dressed (despite the fact that I haven't breastfed her since she was 14mths old!)
iI wish I remembered more about Australian geography right now. I have family in the Eastern states and have no idea which major city is in which state grr. Sorry to hear that things have gotten so bad over there. I remember when living in Townsville when I was little on a house built on stilts, it was so high. Now I know why Stay safe eveeryone.
Possum- I totally get the whole cchild grabbing sore bbs thing. DS weaned at 10.5months yet still trys grabbing at tthem, saying they are his and also, at times, demands milk. I of course tell him no. So weird that they stay so attached.
Thinking about all the ladies and their families in the flood areas my cousin was in towoomba and was evacuated her house is gone now she lost everything her mum (my aunty) lives just outside rockhampton at yapoon and she is safe so my cousin is there now and just before she got evacuated she got her BFP after a few goes of IVF so i hope the stress hasnt upset the pregnancy for her.
Forshelby-good luck for your GTT test today.
Possums-funny that BB obsession my DH has one of those and hasnt been BF for 37 years lol.
Hello to everyone else i have missed.
AFM-done my 10 hour shift training another one of my replacements funny they need to people to do my job while i am gone but i can tell you she stressed me out last night i dont know how many times i had to explain things but i managed to finish my shift and balance to the cent.
Mowgli' is back to normal (thank god)
And the job network felt sorry for DH and our situation with a bub coming soon so they are sending him for his OH&S white card on friday and his forklift licence on mon,tue,wed so that will majorly help with looking for work.
AND THE BEST NEWS!!!!! legal aid have excepted our claim and are going to represent DH so he doesnt have to sell his bike.
Things are looking a little better for us we just need DH to get a job win his court case and his ex wench to stop objecting to child supports decision which is ongoing and a real pain in the butt.
For all the people in and around the flood, clairesmummy and Kellbell....please stay safe and i will be praying for you and everyone else. Im glad you'rew daughter is ok clairesmummy......I have a girlfriend in Gympie that i havent heard from and are worried about...what a horrible disaster..thinking of you all
Ferrals...thats fantastic news..must be a bit of a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Possums...i hope you feel better soon..
Forshelby..am glad you're ok and not effected by the flooding
Clairesmummy...Whoooo for the confirmation
Alish and angelfish..thanks
ATM.....I have no idea whether the ex has been let out of the cells yet or what is happening....we dont know what is going to happen to her because she has other charges from the kids as well..so it aint looking good....hubby and i are arguing...well im arguing and he is ignoring me and not talking..he thinks it will just go away if he ignores me and everyone else and doesnt talk about it....im at a loss what to do...i have been fighting this for seven years and i kinda have had enough..its really taking a toll that another woman dictates what happens in our lives...and because she is messed up it effects everyone else around her.....she doesnt care...if she is unhappy she wants everyone else around her unhappy....this situation is just getting outa control.....i need a break from the stress and uncertainty.....half of me wants hubby to move out for a while so i can really work out my feelings and have some stress free time...but i dont know how much of that is hormones talking and how much of me.......i just dont know what to do anymore..bleeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hello everyone--
First, I just want to say that we are thinking of everyone over there who have been suffering with the flooding and weather, etc. I am sorry that I haven't been in touch-- I haven't been getting notices for some reason and so I had about 8 pages to catch up on...
Also, I've been sick AGAIN. Ugh. Another cold. As part of my work, I shake hands with my parishioners as they leave church. I am not doing that anymore, until the pregnancy is over. It's winter here and snow, and everyone's germs are being passed around. Two days ago, I lost my voice (which made my DH happy, to be sure!) but is not good if you need to do a lot of public speaking! Anyway, yesterday, I woke up and had three nasty herpes blisters--cold sores-- on my upper lip which put me in a CRABBY mood and made me self-conscious. Usually, I don't get them, unless I am really run down, and then, only a small one. But here we go AGAIN. Ugh. Plus, I am worried that I will have them when the baby is born, and that is NOT good. The doc is giving me anti-virals in the 35th week, but I still have a few more weeks to go.
My hubby and I started childbirth classes. What a hoot! We are definitely the oldest in the class! He is a good sport to be present and participating...and so funny! We might write a story about this-- you have to look on the lighter side.
Tomorrow is snow again. It's wicked cold too.
Hello to all of my aussie friends, and please know that I am saying prayers and sending good wishes to everyone...new folks too!
Hi everyone!
Goodness, take a week or so off and the thread explodes. I've read all the way through it but didn't take notes; please forgive the lack of personals.
That said, congratulations Clairesmummy! Woohoo, great to have you in here!
I hope everyone else is going well; my prayers are with anyone in Queensland affected by these dreadful floods. :O
AFM- still pregnant, have tempted fate and booked in with the hospital and the obstetrician. Notice I haven't got a ticker yet? I'm waiting till past the 12 week scan.
Hope to catch up at greater length later!
