Lol *claim* :D
Emma and Lauren, ya know what they say about private school girls ey ;) Well I guess that explains why y'all are here hahahaha :D Hi Lauren, I'm Donna :) talked to you in another thread you posted, I believe?? Welcome to BB, hope you enjoy your stay. Congrats on the little tiger, welcome to the mad, mad world of motherhood lol!
I was public all the way, lol we didn't even call our high school 'Gladdy High' or anything, just 'State High' - if you live in the area and ask what school someone goes to, and they just go, 'State', you know they mean Gladstone State High lol... funnily enough there are like five other state high schools in town but for some reason we called GSHS 'State' :/
I had a nervous breakdown halfway through grade 12, that was awesome fun... graduated but never did the QCS so didn't get an OP or anything, and completing year 12 on its own was pretty useless lol... I could have left at the end of grade 10 and got an apprenticeship (was offered one and everything) but my parents were buttheads and were convinced I was gonna go to uni and be a brain surgeon or something so they wouldn't let me leave school :(
AND NOW LOOK AT ME, MUM AND DAD - haven't had a full-time job in my entire life lol, got knocked up at 20 and now I'm not even 23, married and 2 kids, no career on the horizon hahaha :D So all your good intentions amounted to zilch!!
It's pretty funny but. Coulda done worse for myself I spose lol, ever since I was a kid I just wanted to get married and be a mum so I'm quite content.
Kirra that is messed up that they didn't let you finish school!! A mate of mine found herself in the family way (lol I love that saying) at 15 and she only missed a week before the birth and took a month off when bub arrived to do the bonding thing, then back to school to finish off up until year 12!! And this is in a smallish town where there's sweet fa support or programs for teen mums, the school just pretended she was getting fat hahaha, they totally ignored it because they didn't want to be seen to 'encourage' other chicks to do the same :/ She did get a bit distracting as she got bigger lol, we were always sitting in class next to her rubbing her belly and she'd let us feel it kick lol, she acted like it was so normal that we all just accepted it, kwim?? Yeah, we were excited as hell but it was like, 'yeah so B is preggers, pfft' at the same time hehehe.
Ali hope everything goes well with the c-sec, personally I'm not fussed on how bubs get out, provided they get there safely ey :D So whatever works, it's all worth the crap in the end tho... that being said, definitely no more babies for me lol, this pregnancy has confirmed that my body just isn't up to it again :( That's alright tho, two was always the plan so I'm done hahaha!!
Donna: lol thats so wierd same with my parents, i wanted to leave at yr 10 and do mechanics apprenticeship n they r like 'nope were paying 10k a yr you are gonna do yr 12 and goto uni', so i passed yr 12 got 82 in my tee somehow (no idea cause i wagged most days), and then went to uni for 3 weeks n quit and became a skimpy hahha
and i always wanted to be a mum too actually scared a few bf's off before DP cause after like a month id be all like aww babies and theyd run away! LOL trapped DP though mwahaha :dance:
first night in about 3 months that i just CBF cooking so got pizza for DP and kfc for me...and get this i asked for a sauce and the lady said oh we dont give them out for free anymore...wtf like kfc is being effected by the economic crisis so they charge 30c for a bloody sauce...i was offended!
:o NO FREE SAUCE?!
Sacrilege. Nothing less. I'd be writing a very strongly-worded letter to... someone lol.
I went thru the Macca's drive-thru the other week and they didn't give me any sauce for my McNuggets, despite me repeating TWICE that I wanted BBQ lol...
I just cbf'd parking up and going into the restaurant to demand sauce lol, I don't think I was dressed anyways hahah :) I mean, I was dressed, just in crap clothes lol, DH thinks I'm weird for putting on something other than pj's to go thru the drive-thru, but I'm paranoid about, for instance, getting pulled up by cops and made to 'step out of the car' hahaha and then have half the town drive past going 'OMG LOL SHE'S NOT WEARING ANY PANTS!!!' hehehe :D
I cooked DH stroganoff for dinner, cbf'd divvying it up before adding the mushrooms lol so I haven't eaten, I've really gone off food in general this pg, with Emily I was eating CONSTANTLY but I've really had to force myself to eat one or two meals a day this time around... made a caramel slice but, just waiting for the chocolate top to harden up and I'll have a bit of that before I hit the sack... real nutritious hahaha :D
hahahaaha hey donna thanks for the warm welcome.
my father said the funniest thing today
apperntly my baby name choices are "too exotic"
and i should call my child real names like
jack josh, sarah and jane
he is just so funny sometimes......
Hi guys, welcome to all the newbies!
Sorry for no personals, I have a massive headache and really can't be bothere catching up on the posts i've not read (sorry)
I'm slowly approaching 30 weeks :D exciting times ahead! Although I'm not coping with pregnancy at all.
How is everyone?
Well family tradtion as i am scottish is to have the first born son with a scottish name so like my brother is Callum cousin is Alistair etc..
So im thinking either Alec or Mylor and for girls as i have free choice :D i was thinking Alysis or Elia.
But apperntly there way to out there for dads liking although mum loves Alec and Alysis
i want to use all the names which means lots of babies ahahaha :lol:
Donna - the only way I am happy for CS is that the physio and all the research I have done said that whith the level of flexibility I have in my legs there is no way she can come out vaginally. So it is a medically necessary CS.
Sal - :hug: Yep I am over being pg too. Resting is boring. But you are nearing being more PG than you have ever been, so it is all new territory. Don't worry, Bubbles will be fine, they know that you are doing all you can to grow them big and healthy and strong.
Lauren - When it comes down to it though, Your baby, Your choice. Your Dad won't be the one filling out the forms for the birth certificate. He just might be a bit concerned about payouts when Tiger is growing up.
I was a private school girl too (crappy school though). I never went to Uni, but have held down a few decent jobs. I only left my last job because we got sent 3000km away. That was a great job too. I do plan on doing adult re-entry to Uni though for Nursing and Midwifery in a few years time, maybe when there are more Uni's offering it externally. At the moment UniSA are the only ones doing external Mid. I was one of the 'good girls' at school.
donna: yes DP thinks its ridiculous that i put on clothes/eyeliner to go up the shops or drive thru, but i will always remember when i was skimpying and one of the girls left the pub in just her bra and shorties cause she lived down the road and she got into a minor car crash and had to stand on the side of the freeway in bra and shorties and talk to the cops etc....**** i wuda been mortified so now i always make sure i look decent...and i always wear singlet and undies to bed cause i have this idea that if the house goes up in flames i dont wanna run out the door naked LOL
lauren: i know what u mean abt names, i wanted something different but not too wierd, its been hard for me and DP to decide on names (he refuses to belive the chance we may have a boy so wont have any input)
Everyone is 100% sure im having a boy ahahaah.
DF wont consider a girl as an option because hes certain so i have the same issue.
ahhhhhh
and amazing news
my first day i havent thrown up in a good 4 weeks woooooooo!
OMG CONGRATS EMMA AND PHIL :D
I should probably leave this one for Emma to announce, I'm sorry Emma I'm just so excited for you guys!!
*dances*
Can't wait till she gets back to let us all know how it went and how she's doing :D
What a great way to start my morning lol, log into Facebook and there it is for me hehehe :D
I can't stop smiling even though DD is throwing handfuls of kibble all over the kitchen :/
Yaaaaaaayyyyyyyy for Emma!!! :D Good job hun, I'm stoked for you :D
I have missed sooooo much, i only went to perth for the weekend and that took me 30 mins to read what i missed!
welcome Lauren. what is your due date? were about a month apart.
and emma! i saw it on facebook too! its so exciting! congratulations.
no news here, except wieghed myself and ive lost 5 kilos this pregnancy. is that bad? im not worried, ive just been put off food and have the same thing as donna, i cant seem to eat alot this pregnancy but with maddie i scoffed my face.
well hope you are all well.
oh and sally, exciting your almost 30 weeks. how is it all going?
oh just noticed your due date lauren. doesnt matter lol.
hey how is everyone?
its been very quiet.
i have a question for the girls that have felt their baby kick.
im only 13 and 5 days but by the size of the baby from ultra sound its about 14 weeks and 5 days (dont know if that matters)
i have been told that with the second baby you feel it move earlier than the first because you now recognise the feeling. well today i swear for about 30 mins i could feel lttle butterfly feelings but then all of a sudden there were 2 kicks and hten about 5 minutes later another one and i saw my tummy move but even if it was a kick it shouldn't be this hard yet right?
has anyone else experienced really early kicking?
i have also had a thing iwth my bowels in the past which my doctor says is the same kind of thing/feeling ( i think its to high up now) and was going to get it fixed but then fell pregnant and they said will have the tests/operations after the baby but havent had the feeling since ive been pregnant.
hope this makes sense, reading it back it doesnt make any sense. lol
anyway hope every one is well.
Gothmum, any signs that it will all happen soon?
i used to get gas which used to feel like strong kicks,but i wasnt pregnant lol...dunno maybe its possible although dont think they would be ard ones at this stage coz they wouldnt be that strong yet but you will be feeling alot more in the next couple weeks anyways so i wouldnt worry too much
i agree sally how is everything going?
Lol it was getting a bit quiet around here :)
Amy, I first felt DD kick at around 22 weeks, and tbh I can't really remember how far along it was that I felt this one for the first time - probably a bit earlier as I knew what to look for, as you say, but I do know it was much longer before I had any visible tummy movements/DH could feel it because when I fell pg with DD, I was very taut and trim but hadn't lost all the baby weight and got rid of the pudge this time, so there was a bit more flesh for the kicks to filter through before they could be felt on the outside hahah :)
And, this will probably sound NUTS, but I quite often felt phantom kicks all over my abdomen (as though I were carrying a well-developed bub, not a half-cooked one) the entire time between DD's birth and falling pg again!! It didn't seem to be related to things like gas or illness or anything, I think it might just have been psychological. No idea why I would feel kicking (sometimes very strong, other times just little flutters) but there you have it... have any other girls had that?? I'm probably just odd lol.
I think all women and all pregnancies are different - for instance I started showing a bump with DD at about 8 weeks, other girls I know had smooth, flat bellies right up till about 7 months!! Just enjoy it hun, it's reassuring to feel bub kicking (or at least *think* it's bub kicking), just don't panic if you don't feel it regularly, at this stage it will be fairly sporadic so don't freak out if you don't feel it again for a week or two lol :)
In other news, nah, nothing much happening with me :( Finally got around to washing all the new baby clothes/blankies etc today so she can make her appearance now that I'm about 90% organised hahah (everything else just involves packing my hospital bags and making sure the fridge is stocked so DH doesn't starve or live on Hungry Jack's while I'm gone lol)... every night as I'm going to bed I start getting pains but they go within an hour so nothing terribly exciting to report. Had my 'last' ante appt yesterday and doctor said she's engaged, could be tonight, could be a week from now lol :( I hate that there's no definite deadline on them!! This is half the reason I demanded DD be induced lol, I wanted to just KNOW when she was coming rather than waiting around for her :)
So if anybody has any tips on how to get things moving along lol, I'd appreciate them :)
How's everyone else doing? Any exciting plans for the weekend I need to be jealous of? :)
I want to show!
ahahah its still all sureal to me....
I dont even have the slightest bump and its annoying. As for exciting plans we havent really got any... its our 2 years since we've been together tonight but we have little munchkin Layla-Jai so it will just be a quiet night. Oh and Beau isnt to happy about the fact its an aniversary and there won't be any love making ahahahaha my poor baby :lol:
Ah the joys of being pregnant as a younger couple.
Hows everyone doing?
Pregnancy's going well?
thanks girls, i have worked out that it is the baby i can feel, but very very light kicks and they suprise me lol. but yeah cant feel them from the outside yet. i also used to get the gas kicking lol but its feels abit different.
gothmum- exciting you have nearly everything ready, hopefully it will happen soon! i have heard eating hot curries, having sex, having a warm/hot bath, drinking rasberry leaf tea, going on a bumpy drive.... umm cant think of any more, can help getting labour started, someof them are old wives tales.but try it. oh and caster oil. but im not keen on that one.
Lauren- congrats on 2 years!
you will prob start showing in the next few weeks. i have just started showing. its feeling more real now coz i can feel it and see it.
its hard to beleive it all when you have no physical proof but dont worry it will happen soon enough. do you sleep on your tummy? when you sleep on your tummy it could hurt when you make up in the morning, coz the baby is getting too big, i got that from about 10 weeks. i try to sleep on my side but every morning i wake up on my tummy lol. so that could be an indication of when you might start to show.
im making tamarillo chutney today, they people behind us a have a tamarillo tree and it hangs over our fence (they dont get any and we get it all, lol) so asked my mum about htem and she said they make really yummy chutney so im going to try that today. its storming here and has been for the last couple of days so trying to stay inside and do homely things lol.
well have a good day every one!
take care x
mum2maddieand1 that sounds absolutley yummy!!!!!
ive started cooking already im going to make something nice for dinner make the best of a non-idealic situation i guess. I don't actually sleep on my tummy i sleep on my side with DF spooning me the same every night :) I love this especially coz he holds my belly cant wait till kater in the pregnancy when tiger kicks and wakes DF up ahahaahahahah!
oh thats soooooo sweet, i wish dp and i would sleep like that, we would if he got his wish but i hate people being close to me when im sleeping. oh im jealous lol. that will be really cool later on when tiger kicks!
whos layla-jai? and what are you cooking?
Layla-Jai is my goddaughter
her mother just died and her father is not coping at all
so me and DF have taken little LJ in. She 3 and certainly a handful.
Little munchkin. Yeah my sisters the same she doesnt like being touched where as me and DF still cant keep our hands of each other :lol:
oh im so sorry to hear that, poor little one, atleast she is very lucky to have you and Beau. I hope her Dad feels better soon, it would be so hard on him too. thats so sweet that you have taken her in.
Oh thats so sweet, Billy and i still touch alot and hug at night but when im going to sleep i like to spread out lol.
Yeah im the same sometimes id like to sprawl out. When Beaus away on buisness im like sweet i get to spead out but i never get to sleep haha :) LJ is an angel she really is a pleasure to have with us and plus we are learning alot for when tiger gets to the toddler years.
yeah thats true, it will be great experience. in my opinion the toddler years are the hardest. because they dont understand everything but they want to do their own thing. i think if you can cope with a toddler that isnt "yours" you will sail through with your own baby. :)
Gosh i hope so im kinda scared that tiger will be a terror. I want my baby now!
ahahahaha this waiting game is hard especially waiting for tigers little heart to start speeding up because i know bubs can do it :)
Ahhhhhh im really tired today.
Aww Lauren, good on you and Beau for helping little Layla-Jai and her dad out through this difficult time. Toddlers can be sooo hard but they are so worth it - and you guys are fantastic for taking it upon yourselves to be there for them in such a way right now!!
That's so cute how you guys still spoon every night lol, I wish DH and I still snuggled but we're SUCH an old married couple hahaha, we sleep right on the edge of our side of the bed and fight over blankets because it only covers the bed iykwim lol :)
Now that the weather's cooling off a bit we are getting a bit closer at night for warmth, but DH then tries yanking my pillow out from under me (he's asleep and doesn't realise he's doing it lol) so I end up wriggling back over to the edge to stop him getting near it hahaha :D I'm very possessive of my pillows and blankie :)
Ooh, you might be having a girl, hey? This probably isn't true lol but my dad was telling me the other day that apparently boys have a faster heart rate than girls in the womb or something, if Tiger's is a bit slow maybe that means it's a she?? I know you want a boy lol, sorry to rain on your parade hahah :) I wanted a boy this time around, but meh - fate does as it will. Now if only fate would rustle up some more butter to save me going to the shop - I want to make some caramel slice lol :D
*sigh* due tomorrow, not even the slightest niggle yet :( So mad hahaha!! DH wants to do the gardens tomorrow (we hacked out the 'jungle' over the Easter long weekend, intending to redo the garden beds the next week, still haven't got around to it!) so maybe a trip to Bunnings and walking around and around and around the plant section, or doing a bit of yardwork, will get things moving along :)
ETA: I just noticed I use excessive amounts of emoticons. My bad!!
HOW EXCITING GOTHMUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im smiling for you ahhaha i love kids
i dont neccesarily want a boy anything is a blessing
i just feel like tigers a boy
we are jumping ahead we picked our boys name today
a bit unique but hey?
Mylor Reynolds Morgan for a boy
and
Alysis Adel Morgan
or
Naima Adel Morgan
or
Evela Odias Morgan
all celtic to keep the family happy
but yeah DF is going crazy at the moment he is having withdrawals because love making isnt an option a the moment its pretty funny :lol:
Ahhhhhh i cant believe your baby is coming thats amazing
im so new to this
I want my little tiger now :(
gothmum- lol, i think you should do the garden shopping i reckon that will def get things going, and bend up and down alot looking at every different plant lol. im so excited for you too!
whats a normal heart rate? my baby's hb is 155 is that fast or slow?
Lauren- i know... i hate waiting, but im alot more patient this time around, i think its coz i know i only have less than 6 months until its not just the 3 of us, mind you towards the end ill be dieing for it to be over with.
Love the names, a bit different but they are very nice, i hate it when people choose weird weird names. but yours are very pretty.
made my chutney, it was quite yummy but didnt make as much as i would have liked, why is it when ever you follow a recipe they never make as much as the recipe says it will. like when you make biscuits it says it will make 20 and then you do it and it only makes like 12 lol
after you talked about your chunty it made me hungry and i had to make myself a ham, tomatoe roll i forgot about indigestion ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh burnt me baddddd :doh:
And because i dont have children i wnt more company especially because of DF's work hours it gets lonley mind you the past few days have been awesome with Layla-Jai
she helped me pick Mylors name but is undecided with the girls and thinks i should call her Barbie ahahahahahaha!
9 weeks today tigers finally considered a foetus!!!!!!!!!! wooooooo
didnt think wed make it to this stage 2 weeks ago tiger proved my ob wrong. :D
Hi guys sorry I have been MIA. Jade is now 5 days old quite hard getting used to it not going with with the BF but hav loads of milk so hav been doing EBM. She has day and nite mixed up and dp is working 6 days a week so can't help much so just taking it one day at a time. Sorry no persies I am stuffed, hope ur all well x
Welcome back beautiful!
another congrads on the birth of your precious angel
so sorry bf has been hard for you i would help if i could
but i dont know the first thing about it
i hope everything else is going well
yay 9 weeks! did they think you would m/c?
yeah, its nice having company when your dp isnt around all the time, my dp used to work 11 days on 3 days off, i hated it. i got post natal depression because it was something he started after bub was born and we were stuggling for money and he had to do it but in the end i made him come home. im sure you will be fine though because you are used to it. i wasnt at all and i hate being on my own.
yum, ive just had dinner but now i feel like a roll with ham and cheese and tomato.... hmmm and some of my chutney lol.
lol..... i supose you could warm to Barbie........:sick: lol
LOL Lauren just gently remind DF what he used to do before he met you hahahaha... although, I used to try that one with DH and it never worked, he said the hand got a redundancy package and retired to the Whitsundays the day we got together LOL ;)
I love those names you've picked, did you notice you and DF were able to come up with more boys' than girls' names or vice versa?? DH and I had a big list of girls' names we both liked, but boys' names there was not ONE we could agree on!! So kind of glad we've got two girls because picking a boy's name would have taken the whole nine months lol :D
Congrats on making it to 9 weeks!!! Half the battle is won, you are well on your way to meeting a beautiful, healthy baby at the end of your pregnancy!! :D With DD it was my first time and I was soooo scared of something going wrong the whole time lol, it's easier second time around because you realise how resilient the little parasites are hehe, you don't panic every two minutes!
OMG Amy I am the same with recipes!! I get a recipe for something and automatically double it hahaha, DH and I are pigs lol so small amounts never last long around here, especially when we feed the dog so many of our leftovers because she flat-out refuses to eat dog food :/
Welcome back Emma, been waiting on tenterhooks for an update on things :D I was reading your thread about BFing little Jade today and I swear to God you are me nearly two years ago with Emily!! I had no end of trouble and no support so I ended up exhausting myself by expressing full-time and gave up at 6 weeks because it was all too much - if I had stuck it out just one week longer, I reckon we would have been alright, but the sleep deprivation was KILLING me...
You are doing a fantastic job though hun, glad to hear you have heaps of milk - too much is never a bad thing, just express and chuck or store whatever Jade isn't using and as time goes on you will work out a good routine to get a good supply. My problem was that Emily wasn't attaching properly, nipple shields weren't working, and my milk took FOREVER to come in even with constant expressing so Emily was having constant formula top-ups... I know you can make this work!!
Sucks that DP isn't helping out much, DH was the same, which annoyed me because DD was on bottles of EBM/formula so he could well have done feeding, at least!! Try not to stress about the housework, just go hide in your room if you have a TV and forget that the house looks like a bomb hit it :)
PM me if you need ANYTHING, okay?? How's your poor backside feeling now, any better?
oohh emma, welcome back!
dont worry, were all here for you, we know that at times it can be so hard but it gets easier and your doing a great job!
keep trying with the breast feeding. it took me 2-3 weeks to get it sussed properly. then i gave up at 5 months and i regret that soooooooo much.
dont owrry you will get through this! :) or ask your child health nurse for help, they are great, and if you dont like yours then change because htey are godsends when they are great, i used to go to mine crying all the time!
Yeah they told me at 6 weeks i was going through a m/c bled for 2 weeks from 5-7 stopped for a week started again. The ob said im high risk m/c at the moment but im confident little tigers strong enough. Barbie is major lol ahahaha regarding names everyones divided
im absolutley in love with
Naima Adel Morgan
Beaus in love with
Alysis Adel Morgan
Mum is in love with
Evela Odias Morgan
But everyone agrees with Mylor Reynolds because that is a name to go down in history :lol:
i miss Beau so much he just got home and wasnt tired but very frisky again hahahaha
he cant stand it.
I used to have this feta in my ham tomato roll that this old italian lady across the road made but dad said its a no no :( ahahaha
i loveeeeeeeeeeee sandwiches.
oh that would have been so scarey, im sure you will be fine, have you had any more bleeding or ultrasounds?
lol, i know, i hate it that you cant eat everything in pregnancy, i have been naughty though and have been making a few exeptions.
How do you pronounce Naima? i love the look of it, i think that is my favourite. also i love Niamh which is pronounced Neeve.
well i better be off, im tired tonight.
nigh nighs :)
yeah im still bleeding arghhhhhh
and ive had 4 u/s which is good because my dad has done 2
is pronounced
Nigh-ee-ma
i think its really pretty it means tranquility which will be the birth hopefully :lol:
goodnight
xx
aww its still happening.... have they given you any reason for it?
yeah i really love Naima.
oh Maddie is awake, i better go, that was a good sleep on her behalf 6pm last night until 8.45 this morning. she has been sleping really well lately.
ill be on later so speak then bye!
sadly yes
the only thing he said is possible placental formation bleeding but at 9 weeks?
given its lighter, 6 weeks was hell it was ridiculous bleeding but i hope things are settling down. Ahhhh LJ just woke up too and want oats im off to feed the munchkin.
Hey girls, how is everyone?
Sorry I've been MIA for quite some time now. I'm really struggling with the pregnancy, although I am now more pregnant than what I've ever been which is kinda nice :)
Having a few issues with Brendan atm, waiting on his 2yr corrected assessment report so we can get onto the Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy. I suspect we may even start some physio to help with Brendan's weak inner core muscle strength.
Had my birthday last week, was good. Bought a puppy on Thursday, little ****zu x boy, named him Angus. So thats my birthday present, got some money from rellies and then DP put in the rest.
Take Care girls!
