Your poor brother, what a terrible sight to see. I can understand why he is upset and why you are shaken by it. It would have been a very graphic thing to see, especially if it took so long for help to get there. I agree with Lynn, he may need to debrief about it with a professional to make sure he processes it. Big :hugs: to you and your bro. I hope that your DH is getting some more professional treatment. He deserves to be listened too. Who cares if the Dr is your family Dr, I'd be getting a second opinion from someone who cares a bit.
Bailey: How's that m/s treating you? Are you starting to feel a bit better. I really hope so. Can't wait to see you tomorrow.
Lynn: I think that going back to work sounds like a great idea, especially if your work is understanding and if there are days when it is all too much then don't go. I think that it will help these long weeks pass that little bit quicker.
Mel: How are you feeling hon, I see you ticker but I am just going to wait and cross absolutely everything until you post. I am sorry for being so slack about the call this week. I can't even explain how busy I have been and I know it is no excuse but I promise that I will make time to call next week.
AuntieM: Nebraska, that sounds awesome, I hope you have a wonderful time. I can't wait to hear all about it when you post again.
Georgie: It is darn hard isn't it and I can really sympathsise with what you are going through. There are times when it feels like everyone has forgotten and moved on but this path has no timeframe and you just have to take the days as they come. Just know that you are not alone, most of us have been through the same phase where we fell angry/sad/bitter because it seems the world keeps turning but our world is standing still. Big :hugs:
Well sorry to have been so quiet. I have been super busy, I have a head cold and I have just been in a fowl mood of late. I don't know if it is hormones, exhaustion or just that I am going through an angry phase at the moment. I seem to have such a short fuse but I am trying to relax. By boss said to me the other day 'you look like you are about to blow a valve' and that is exactly how I feel.
Bub has been a bit quiet over the last few days. Still moving constantly but a bit quiet nevertheless. A normal pregnant woman wouldn't even notice but crazy lady here is obsessed as we all know.
Anyway, Dh made me breakfast in bed this morning and has just finished cleaning the house and vacuming. I am so lucky to have such a terrific man and one that can put up with my moods.
Jo- Your poor brother, to have to be witness to something like that is very hard, I hope he is dealing with it all ok. :hugs:
With your DH I would be asking, now to have some further testing done, its very easy to a sperm test which checks for quantity and quality! this would be my firts resort. If there was a problem they can take the sperm direct from the testies and and do an IVF/iccis treament, which is quiet a big thing for alot of men. Sometimes we need to be rather direct and tell our Drs what WE need!
Bailey, Lynn, Spring and Tommysmum - thank you for the enlightment on the very ....well somewhat distasteful subject of "lotus birthing" I googled it and boy I feel very sorry for baby Ben.......I think I will leave it at that!!!!!! My personal opinion is if you want to do something so much more useful with IT, maybe donate the cord blood so it may save someone else!
I would like to thank you all for a wonderful marathon lunch, with DH in the condition he is in beening out was a good option, only problem comming home to hungary jacks wrapers and mess!!!!! Spring, thanks for the belly rub!I just wish we could all be there.
Mel - How you going today? Im thinking of you and hoping that a +++ will be heading your way any time now. I hope Vic weather picks up soon, and as for the snow, it a differant type of cold. I have loved the comments on crimmped hair and Vanilla Ice, right up my alley, you would have loved the party last night they even played older stuff with video clips of Sherbet, Chisels and choir boys!!! Now I know im getting old!
Deb - Thinking of you for tomorrow, I know all will be good and Cols going to give you another big wave. Your in the best of hands and I just know that Cols comming home with you.
Aunty M - Hope your having a great weekend. Its great to sometimes be able to sit back and watch it all go down in a big family! Hear all about it soon.
Georgia - Hope your doing ok, it hard to see "Life go on" but as spring said your not alone in here.
Tess - We will try to arrange to come down to you next time! look forward to meeting you.
Well as I said above, we had a lovely lunch, where WE ALL ate heaps including me so thanks girls I will be at the gym first thing tomorrow! but it was great to catch up, I think Im so lucky to have wonderful women who know how Ifeel and can truly understand where Im at. We are very blessed.
My mum is comming down to stay for a week so Im putting DS to bed before she gets here, I will try to get back and see whos on.
