Sorry I have been mia, been a tough few days. We're all sick. Lily is on the mend, though is still having slight fevers (about 37.5 this morning). Poor Liam can't handle all of the saliva and snot his little body is making and is constantly choking and coughing. Lily is waking 4-5 times a night as well and I am buggered. I'm not sleeping well though. Last night I was so tired and went to bed at 8pm, but couldn't actually get to sleep til 10.30, then Liam was awake at 11, Lily at 12.30, Liam at 1.30, then we got a little sleep, then Lily 3am, 4am, DH up for work at 5am and Lily up for the day at 5.30. That's what the last week has been like. Needless to say I am buggered. And over emotional, have been feeling down, cranky pants, etc...though today has been a good day. I have been productive and feel good for it!
It's mine and DH's wedding anniversary today, 6yrs. 11yrs together last week. It so doesn't feel that long. We arent' doing anything special really, noone to babysit Though we went to dinner with the kids on the weekend. I guess that's the evolution of our relationship though.
We went up the coast the other day too to see my dad, on the spur of the moment, it was really nice, and yep, Jen, I thought of you a bit late notice to visit though.
Dis, yep, Liam's pg was tougher than Lils. I always put it down to being pg so closely together. My body never recovered properly...
Ok gotta go, LIl's awake. I hope everyone is well.
Did some shopping today and got a new tv...was going to order our couch and get a treadmill but ran out of time as my dad came over for a visit...Talk about retail therapy!!! So going to be super broke soon though - LOL!
Having a few pains tonight probably from all the walking today but no real sign bubs is going to make a move soon...happy to wait a bit longer though!
Boys are well - Dylans sleeping super well as is Louis other than waking up from the occassional bad dream so am definitely happy there that I'm managing a bit of extra sleep...
Mel - The belly dancing sounds like lots of fun! Sorry to hear about your pains though...hopefully it's just your body getting all ready! Oooh I wish I was cuddling a little newborn - will be interesting if you get any pains - I remember when Cindy had her little girl 8 days before I had dylan and when I would cuddle her I got super braxton hicks!! Must have been all the hormones in the air! How did Olivia go??
Disgirl - Sorry to hear your not feeling great...Ummm...second p/g wasn't too bad as I was still teaching dancing and everything but this one has taken its toll much more...I really think for me that it's because I'm way more unfit...each p/g I've had a bit more nausea though which is for no good reason though! Also, you'll be more tired etc cos you've got a little one to run after!
I had a period around the same stage as you when I felt like my body was going to fall apart...thankfully though I got past it and have felt quite good for the last couple of months! Hopefully the same happens with you!
Kel - Big hugs Kel...sorry to hear you're all so sick and not getting any sleep...Hope things settle down soon. Happy Anniversary! Thats fantastic! Bugger you can't go out...it does end up getting that way after having kids...you'll have to make up for when bubs is a bit bigger!
Mel- yep am finding this a bit harder...especially with a toddler. Also a lot more pressure down there, I agree with Kel- maybe not enough time for the body to heal between pregnancies. Rest up.
Kel- big hugs to you. You lot have been sick lately, I hope everyone clears up soon. And I hope the whole sleep settles down and you can get some.
Kris- Olivia was fine with the newborn. I think coz it moved and made noises, not like her dolls which she pokes and prods!!! I didnt get any pains.... Glad the boys are sleeping better. You and your retail therapy!!!! Make sure you rest up. Hows the new place going anyway??? Are you enjoying it? And how is it being in a totally different area?
Hey Jen and Von and anyone else I missed
We finally have the cameras packed. Last night we did belly shots in the same position as we did with Olivia and the same pants....different top though. I am a little bigger, but a lot lower. Getting up to the toilet a bit more at night. I think that pain i have been getting is a combination of nerve pain and full bladder!!! My nipples are starting to have burning sensation and are leaking a little...other than that...nothing! Off to our neices 4th birthday party today,
Mel, thats great Olivia was good! I'm sure she's very excited! The boys saw a newborn the other day and while Dylans not that fussed - Just knows its a bubba - Louis is quite intrigued..I think he'll enjoy it more this time and like helping me out! He already keeps saying how he's going to teach him to walk! So cute...
Yeah, the new place is great! We are loving it! and I've coped with the move a lot better than I thought...getting used to being in a new place and really, haven't noticed any change from what I originally saw friends/family! It's just a bit of a bigger drive now but no big deal. Not sure if I'll feel it more when bubs arrives though...Should be fine though...
I think we'll end up regretting the retail therapy...probably should be more worried about having some savings in the bank but Michael and I are hopeless with that...we're both the youngest in our families so I think we're both a bit irresponsible when it comes to money - LOL! In saying that we are paying a little extra off our mortgage so that feels like compulsory saving anyway...
Gosh...I've always been so bad with belly shots...I think there's a couple of me a couple of days before I had Dylan and one of me about 20w p/g with Louis...so haven't been organised that way...at least there's lots of the kids - LOL! Good on you though - would be great to compare! I'll have to get dh to take one...
Bugger at the pains...maybe it's your pelvic floor muscles?? I was told that if they're weaker they don't cope as well with the weight of bubs by the end...I'm getting up about once a night to go to the toilet as well...
Have fun today!
We need to do some food shopping - we have nothing and haven't been in nearly 2 weeks! I assume the supermarkets are open? I always get confused with cup day as to whats open and closed...
Thanks for the feedback on 2nd/3rd pregnancies girls I'm feeling a bit better today after a day off yesterday and lunch with my mother's group - yep, I was too sick for work I even had a glass of wine which I thoroughly, THOROUGHLY enjoyed!
Kel, I'm sorry you guys are all sick again Just when sleep was starting to come a bit easier for Lil too
Kris, I am more unfit this pg then I was with Ben. With Ben I'd been playing A-grade soccer until just before I got pg, with this bub I was a wee bit overweight with NO exercise happening. I'm sure that has made a difference.
Good on ya with the spending! DH and I just bought a Wii for ourselves for Chrissy and we're about to buy a new computer and lawn mower. Nothing exciting, but nearly $3000 worth of stuff. Geez, sounds like too much money to spend now that I've added it all up!!! And not good to run out and spend all that when I'm about to go on half-pay
Mel, I'm a shocker with belly shots. I actually don't like bare preggo bellies, they kinda gross me out I refused to have any bare shots taken with Ben, but still got some with clothes on. This time I don't think I've taken a single photo!!!! Should probably do that. I'm pretty sure I'm bigger earlier this time, although I'm still pretty small for 29 weeks.
Urgh, I'm over today already and it's not even 10am! I've decided to spread out my sick leave over the next few weeks and maybe take the whole last week off. I'm finding one day at work really wipes me out - it's more the running around to get here than anything else.
Ben is a little echo at the moment. Over the weekend he came up with some new words including "Mickey", "Minnie" and "Disney" Gee, he's not his mother's son at all Last night at dinner he repeated "BUGGER!" back at me. Oh dear!!!!
LOL, Mel, Lil said 'crap' to DH the other day, after I have been trying to get him to stop swearing . I keep telling him monkey see, monkey do...I think he believes me now!
lol thats so funny..i must remember to tone it down too.
Mid appointment went well, not seeing her for another 2 weeks. Bubs is engaged and I am ready to go anytime from NOW. Am getting cramps in my hips and legs.
Ok am at my dads and Olivia is pulling things apart
Though we went to dinner with the kids on the weekend. I guess that's the evolution of our relationship though.
a bit late notice to visit though.
I even had a glass of wine which I thoroughly, THOROUGHLY enjoyed!
