Paula, I forgot to say that I've been debating with myself whether to go and get a reading too. But then I concluded that if there is more bad news, I can't handle it, so I haven't.
I choose to believe your psychic so let me be the first to extend my congratulations to you on your 2 day old second daughter :-)
"Fake it till you make it" is a fantastic mantra, I'll join you! Wooh!
Sue, thank you for crossing your fingers for me, with Lily in your belly (can we start calling her that now?), I believe your finger crossing is very powerful :-)
Lan, that's rough that you were the default babysitters... a bit of sensitivity never goes astray but we can't choose family. I'm hoping your boobs get nice and sore and you and Paula are due in the same month.
The third trimester has hit me like a ton of bricks, even if it's not meant to start for another week or two. My lower back hurts, my feet hurt and I have indigestion for the first time in my life, it kept me awake last night and was gross. But I love it all still, and don't complain (except for that just then). Adding to Sue's thread about people saying 'just wait until' I'm the same, I'm not worried about pain or discomfort or getting fat (and I really am getting fat!) or even the pain of labour, all that matters is that the baby comes safely, and I think unless you have had trouble having babies you can't understand it. I know first time round I was worried about labour etc.
Paula, I went to a psychic once with a friend, and both our psychics were way off... but it was a psychic convention and I think it was pretty crude. I have heard some amazing stories though of people I know and what they were told so I remain open minded because even though I'm a sceptical person I accept there are many things we don't know or fully understand in this world.
I'm a little sad too to be saying goodbye to 2008... I don't feel I can celebrate the new year. DH's friend invited us over for NYE and I said I just don't feel up to it so it will be just the two of us. Celebrating feels like we're glad 2008 is over, and like you said Lan it was a painful but amazing year, and also I don't want to act like 2009 will make everything better because it's just more time passing and we never know what's around the corner. Also I'm not looking forward to going back to work in a week... but then I have a scan next Wednesday so I both look forward to and dread next week, can't win!!!
Paula, that's spooky ( good spooky ! ) about the psychic saying she can see a girl in 2009...all you have to do is wait and see, and when it happens you know she can really see into the future and you can go and see her again ! Fingers crossed for 2009 hey ? I think there are good psychics, and really crappy ones when they try to prod you for info.
I went to see a psychic 4 weeks ago ( I see only 2 women, alternating, about every 2 years or so ) and this one straight away told me I had a miscarriage recently..I almost fell off my chair. She said to get rid of that fibroid ( which I am in 3 weeks ) and said she can see another baby in 2009/2010. Here's hoping...
Lan, sore boobies, yey !! Hope they stay sore ( not that's very pleasant, but it's good ! ) and you get a BFP soon
Sue, you poor thing, my friend had to go to work for one day today ( we're both back on 12/01 ) and she called me today and she was suicidal ! Poor thing...it's horrible going back even for a few hours when you're on holidays..
Rozzie, I know what you mean about being sore and tired in your 3rd trimested, I never made it that far, but my next pregnancy ( I hope... ) I'll be saying, bring it on ! Don't care how uncomfortable I am, the bub will be so worth it.
Diana, I'm working on my mum, but sometimes it's like teaching a child about life..IUKWIM. You'd think she'd be more understanding, since she's had 2 kids of her own ! I hope you get that book, it's beautiful.
Jo, yay for the bigger room ! Good luck for your next u/s .
Big hello & hugs to the rest of you loverly girls.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their kind words during this difficult time. I am really struggling with it all and have not been coping too well. I have never experienced such turmoil and heartache. Sorry for the lack of personals but I just don't have the energy right now.
Thanks again everyone - your support has gotten me through this Christmas period. xxx
Yay for 3rd trimester troubles Rozzie. I can't believe it is only days away for you. I remember getting heartburn for the very first time when I was PG with Ethan and it completely freaked me out. It took me awhile to realise what it actually was!!
No matter what is said about 2008 it has certainly been eventful for all the right and wrong reasons. I am choosing to use NYE to express gratitude. Rather than celebrating the end of 2008 or the beginning of 2009 I have decided to just use the time to reflect on everything I am grateful for in my life. Which in spite of the horrors of this year is quite a lot.
I hope you can all find something to smile about on NYE and that 2009 brings us all our long awaited earth babies.
