    Hello girlies!
    Well, not much to report here... DH is away til Tue night in Sydney for work. So I am a single mummy for a few days. Not really looking forward to that! But one good thing is that DH has been given a few extra days off, so on Wed, we will have a day together kid free since the kids go to day care. Then next week we are going back to Sydney again, and DH has gotten an extra day off, so we will have some spare time there instead of the whirlwind visit it was going to be! My mum and dad have given us a bit of money for bub so we might be able to go on a bit of a shopping spree for him, so exciting!! I barely have anything for him, just a cot and about 5 singlets, 3 little outfits, 2 long sleeve onsies, 4 short onsies, some socks and bibs, oh and a few packets of nappies. I want to paint the room for him before he's born too, lol! It's sunshine yellow at the mo, so ugly!! We need a pram, a rocker, some sheets and blankets, more clothes....plus I will need some summer clothes for me, I have no shorts, skirts or anything! Just long winterish clothes besides a few t-shirts. I also need mat bras desperately! My boobies are growing even bigger! I dread to know what size they are now from the 16 E they were....eek! I had my glucose test the other day, so I will get the results next week. It wouldn't surprise me if I had GD this pg...

    Ok I'm going, have washing to hang out after our torrential downfalls and cyclonic winds we have just endured for the last few days!! I hope everyone is well!

    Wow three posts in a row.....that says something for my social life hey??

    Well, just a very quick one from me, we are well. We go to Sydney today, well start the trip, we will most likely stop because Damien is working today too and I don't wnat him to drive the whole way in one night. Plus I don't know if I can sit in the same position for so long! Lily and Liam are being very well behaved lately (though I am sure that won't last long!) Lil is growing wayyy too fast and this morning she came to me for the first ime ever and told me 'Look mummy, I didn't wee in my nappy last night!!!" It was something I was totally not worried about, but now she's done it, maybe I should try to get her out of nappies full time...?? Though, I don't want to be getting up heaps to change wet sheets while she's learning....lazy mummy I know! Liam is just a treasure and so funny! He is talking non stop and coming out with some corkers, lol! Hes so snuggly and has to have cuddles every few hours, lol!
    Baby is getting very strong and tres wiggly and sometimes scares me whne he kicks, lol! They are also getting uncomfortable! His movements are very obvious now and you can see them on the outside, lots of people have said "OMG, I saw that!!" when he kicks! My back/pelvis is not going so great some days I can barely move. I had a migrane yesterday too, and was in bed all arvo. I had my GD test a few weeks ago, though I'm not sure how the results went yet, I haven't been able to get back to the doctors because he had a car accident and has been in hospital with a brain injury! He's back to work this week though, so I will just have to get the midwives to call him when I have my appt this week in Sydney.
    Ok gotta go and pack and get things done before we leave for Sydney this arvo. I am excited about being back in civilisation again though!! Even just for a few days... I hope everyone is well.

    Hi girls,

    Milly, I was feeling a bit abandoned and lonely here, I think it's just the three of us posting in here now, you and Danielle and me...or is there someone else out there to make a liar of me...?? Go on! Please?? lol!
    Sorry to hear about your amniotic levels. How stressful for you. But I am assuming baby is ok? But kinda nice you will get to see smidge some more? I had too much fluid last time with Liam. I feel like I did with him this time too, I am just huge. My belly feels alot bigger this time. I should pull out Liam's yellow card and have a look at it. I'm a bit worried I might have GD, I find out on Wednesday. Or I'm just really fat. I had a midwives appt last week and all was well- BP, babys heart beat. Thanksfully she didn't measure my fundus because that is always a rather large measurement! If I do have GD, or evern the polyhydramniosis again, I will be a high risk patient and that will really stuff us up being rural, because the hospital will want to monitor me, which will mean I have to drag the kids to stay in Sydney for 6ish extra weeks. I so don't want to and would go bananas if I had to live at my mothers for that long, and be pretty much a single parent for that long, and that far pg too....trying not to worry about it though since it's not happened yet!

    We are back from Sydney. It was a LOOONNGG drive! Very uncomfy for me and it has totally stuffed my pelvis and back. I acn barely walk without hobbling adn holding onto furniture. I am feeling rather sorry for myself! I don't look forward to the drive to Sydney when I'm 36/7 weeks pg to give birth. It will be terribly uncomfortable! We even stopped half way, so it was only 4hrs in the car either way, but it didn't help much. I am totally tired and exhausted and I couldn't sleep well at mums place either, and Liam got a huge fever on the way home, not sure what it was but I had to give him nurofen and panadol an hour later to get rid of it. He been captain sooky pants since then and I can't lift him at the mo and he really doesn't appreciate that!! We snuggle on the lounge but he wants me to carry him around while I do stuff, and I can barely walk let alone carry a 13kg toddler around!
    I still haven't gotten my GCT results, though I have a sneaking suspicion I may have GD. Only because I am sooo big (my belly is) and I have been CRAVING sweet stuff like it's going out of fashion. I have been drinking alot and weeing alot, but I do that when I'm pg, it's not anything that's really different. Plus my pelvic floor muscles are shot so I pee alot anyway, lol...sorry tmi!! But we will find out on Wednesday for sure.
    Ok gotta go I can't sit here for too long, or my back screams at me to move!
    Sorry no personals, will try to catch up in the next few days. I hope everyone is well.

    Hi girls. Not alot happening here which is why I dont post often LOL But I do read all your posts!

    Tobias is finally starting to talk a bit but he is still getting constant ear infections, it sucks big time. He has pretty much been constantly on AB's for the past 5+ months!

    Starting to pack up here, my lease ends on 12th Dec & I'll be moving back to the Gold Coast. Going to Forster first to stay with my sister while she waits to find out if her DH's life insurance will be paid, then she can afford to move.... fingers crossed it all goes through. She cant bear to stay in Forster any longer than she has to, they had only moved there 3 weeks before her DH died & it is full of those terrible memories for her (getting the phone call, driving to the soccer fields, being told the devestating news, going to the morgue etc) She wants to go back to the Gold Coast which is where she has alot of very happy memories with him & alot of good friends too.

    XH had his court hearing last Thurs, he pleaded guilty so has to go back to court on Dec 16th to be sentenced etc. I hope justice is served.

    Thats about it from me. Hoping all the pregnancies are going well xoxo
