Forshelby-I dont get how your baby is the size of a banana i had Abbi at 19 weeks 5 days and she was the size of a 17 weeker because of her skeletal dysplasia and she was still a decent size she was 18cm long and her little head was the size of a tennis ball maybe the banana refers to the weight i know they weight about 200-300 grams about 19-20 weeks but she was most definately bigger then a banana.
Kellie - Hey, long time no see! I chuckled at the banana thing.. and I reckon your ticker is flying, too! I remember the old TTC forum days, feels like so long ago now. Come out from under that rock, hehe.
Ferrals - Your poor little girl. I'm sorry you had to go through that. In reference to the banana though (ok, awkward segway there..) maybe they mean the big giant qld bananas we get around here? Some of them are pretty huge....
AFM - DP was cranky when he got home because I didn't do the dishes or, well.. anything today. He said he knows I'm pg but I'm not crippled. That really hurt. I know I was slack today. I get it. I didn't disagree with that part... but I felt like saying 'hey, YOU get up and do all the housework with a giant melon in your tummy, a sore back, aching hips and weird crampiness!' I just felt like a lazy day today, y'know? So I ended up feeling really worthless and did a bunch of laundry out of guilt. (while I had a quiet little cry to myself) I know this stuff is my job. But it was one day! Most of the time I run a pretty tight ship. Afterall, who did most of this stuff while working full time?? ME! Now that I have all the time in the world, I don't see the urgency to get everything done all the time. It's not going anywhere, and neither am I. Does that make sense?
I think he just had a really sh** day today and was cranky in general. I don't know what my problem is some days, I just feel de-motivated, lonely and useless hanging around the house. Getting told off like a naughty kid just made me feel even more useless. Sometimes I don't feel like cleaning all day. Sometimes my frigging back hurts and I have a headache. But you know what I never do? Answer back or defend myself. I guess there is no defending laziness, but really I didn't think it was a huge deal. So the dishwasher needed unpacking. And there was some laundry to fold. So?! Lucky for me he got over it pretty quickly, maybe because I looked so sad. Ok that's my little rant for the evening.
Forshelby- My dh has started making little comments like that.. nothing too serious yet tho. The other day he said he wld rather me quit work so i cld do a bit more around the house... oh and he also said that im lucky that im always so efficient with housework etc. cos ive really let it all go and he hopes that i can go back to my old ways and this isnt the new me. Well i hope it isnt either!
I definitely know what u mean tho.. theres some days when u just dont feel like doing anything.. i am very lucky that my dh works away.. i can be a complete slob and get away with it! I normally try and do a super clean the night before he gets home but it backfired last week when i had bleeding and spent the night at the hospital.. nothing got done before he got back the next morning! He understood tho
You know whats annoying me?! My dh is on my back about everything i eat or drink!! I didnt want to mention it cos i feel bad but before my *b* (dont want to mention the word.. im sick of it!) episode on wed i went out with a girlfriend and had sushi.. i knew i shldnt have but i cldnt help myself.. my dh got so angry when i told him that nite i guess it might have been the universes way of saying hey! im sending u out a warning not to do that again!! Oh and i drank a coffee this morning (finally listened to ur advice.. really needed some motivation) i was talking to him and mentioned that it really worked in energising me and he got angry at me! I shldnt be drinking coffee blah blah blah.
I also just spoke to him before and he asked me if i had 'dopplered' tonight.. i shld have lied.. cos he got angry at me for that too! He thinks i need to relax.. grrrr!
MALES!!!!
Anyway my rant over..
Glad ur dp got over his little thing.. it sux tho cos u know from now on u cant have a relaxing day cos u will be in trouble if u dont get everything done.. it kinda puts u on edge..
Tegaaaam-How did u go today???? Dont make us wait too long to find out!
Hi Kell! Yes pls come out from under that rock!! We can go crazy waiting for movements together! Whens ur next ob appointment?
I think its that time of the month for most males really! Mine has been on my case also i take care of the housework( most of the time) and i cook do his lundry.And then do work realted stuff for him also.Then when his kids come he aptment will look like a tornodo hit it really.... And it takes me three days to get it back to the way it was before.
As far as his darling lil children 10 and 9 i have talked to him about it and he says that i am just overeacting and the kids will do it on accident. When i frist got together with him he would let them toss balls around the kicthen knock stuff over as i was trying to cook. They dont know how to act at all maybe its a pegnancy moment why i am such a bad mood but every three weeks now i just crindge
Oh Dory its so nice to see you again ! I hope you do post some pics of your baby
My DH has had a dig at me to but not for being slack i got into trouble for not leaving the housework when i was so sick with this flu but i just cant look at it i will do it in bursts do a load of laundry sit down for 20 minutes then do the vaccuming then sit down you get the picture i was so crook but with DH and 3 teenage boys i had to keep on top of it the kids will do dishes ect but to get them to clean toilets and mop YEH RIGHT!
well ive been given another two weeks and i get the feeling that, that will be the story now until the end "oh well we'll see how things go for the next two weeks"
So knowing me I made the appointment for three weeks which gets me close to the 34week mark and then i only need another 2 weeks and ill be 36 and they can do what they like!
Baby is perfect, tall and skinny (well not when pregnant) like its mother! Fluid still 8.5 so only lost .1 and
double baby is head down so that took A LOT of wind out of their sails. Apparently babies in distress over low fluid cant turn! Clever little Smidge i have.
Reet: so glad that you didnt mind my advice! Hope it works.
Dory: Thanks for all your texts yesterday, you are wonderful support! Nice visual on the poop on the carpet! Remind me when we get together to invite you here, we have tiles Hannah can go wild!
All you girls getting into trouble.... naughty naught and here i am being such a good girl!
More personals later the little ones have stired for the day!
Hi everyone-- I was out of commission and not getting updates-- don't know why, but hopefully, I will figure out how to get it fixed. Couldn't sleep again, so I got "caught up" on multiple pages of everyone's journeys... It's good to read your posts; I didn't feel so lonely with my insomnia.
I've been just waiting to feel the baby move here. I have a doppler which has been reassuring... and I celebrate 20 weeks this week-- woo-hoo!
I have an ob-gyn appointment this Friday, and I am hoping that they give me info about childbirth classes. I am clueless. Also, I hope that our little baby boy is doing okay inside-- honestly, sometimes, I don't "feel" pregnant-- or can't quite believe it-- until my head starts to say, "look at yourself." Plus, my right hip hurts wicked bad...and that is definitely pregnancy related.
Kitten: Welcome and I hope all goes well with your pregnancy.
Dory: You give me inspiration to keep hoping and hoping that all will go well in the end!
Ferrals: nice to hear from you; I agree with Forshelby... your DH was doing his job and some people will keep doing annoying and rude things to *push* the limits. I hope everything works out for your DH, in his favor, and he gets support from the law. Also, I am glad to hear that you are doing better...
Forshelby: Yikes-- I know what you mean about the housework and hubby. I feel so guilty though 'cause my hubby is *totally* carrying the load here-- I am on so many restrictions 'cause of my former miscarriage and 'cause of the high risk pregnancy, that we have had to let some things just slide around the house. We did clean together on our day off for a few hours-- hubby did the vacuuming and I did the scrubbing and dusting. He already does the laundry---because of the lifting involved-- and it's my job to put the clothes away. But sometimes I am so tired and lazy that I don't even do that. So, usually, when DH criticizes me (gently), it is because he knows that I need to move around some more.
Reet: I hope that your bleeding stops -- vanishes!-- and that you are reassured in every way that all is well.
To all the ladies that I missed--- Keep the faith! Ha! I should listen to my own advice LOL. I just started maternity leave negotiations with the church where I serve. Heaven help me-- I sometimes wish we had a human resources department. Hopefully, I will be able to transition the church without a lot of speedbumps along the way. Whoever takes my place will need to take the congregation through Lent, holy week, and Easter. Since I am a solo pastor (and the first clergyperson there to have a baby) this will be NEW for everyone. Boy, Christmas will be different this year. Definitely!
Your poor little girl. I'm sorry you had to go through that. In reference to the banana though (ok, awkward segway there..) maybe they mean the big giant qld bananas we get around here? Some of them are pretty huge....
Lucky for me he got over it pretty quickly, maybe because I looked so sad. Ok that's my little rant for the evening.
