Babies Born July 2007 #21

hey everyone

I am trying to enjoy my last night as a SAHM but its not really happening... i have Jason bathing Avaleigh and I am meant to be doing my nails but so many thoughts are going through my head!! I am hoping that I get a good enough wage that me going to work will be worth it.. it can either go two ways - I will get a great wage and have around $250 in my pocket each week after daycare and petrol or it can go the other way where I get a crap wage and only have $100 left in my pocket after daycare and petrol. This is all working off not getting any assistance from the govt, Jason thinks we wont get anything but I am hoping we will...

And then my other thought is, Where the heck is AF???????!!!!!!!!! I am now 15 days late and I am not convinced anymore that I o'd and AF is around the corner.. I just dont know what is going on with my body, I've been having AF type cramps for a while now and I just dont know what we would do if I am pregnant.. I am kinda just putting my head in the sand and trying not to think about it but its a bit hard! We're just financially not in a position to have another baby.... AHHH such stress!!!

And to top it all off, I am going to be going to work tomorrow with a bit of a cold!! Its nothing bad, just a sore throat and a stuffed up head.. Anyway, enough whinging about me.

Sacha - thats great that Autumn had a good birthday and they are some good presents. LOL at Autie having a sugar rush and making weird noises in her cot!!

Danielle - aww! I am sending lots of hugs and get better vibes to you and your family. It doesnt sound like you have had a very good few months. I hope that things get better soon and that oscar's croup goes away.

Well I better go.. have some things to organise for daycare tomorrow and I gotta work out what to where for my first day of work. AHH! Wish me luck everyone.

V, TEST TEST TEST, your killing me with suspense girl!!!

Hey everyone,

V, have you tested yet? How did work go today? I bet you had a blast and went just fine. Let us know about AF

Sacha, sounds like it was a great day to celebrate Auties birthday on Sunday. And she got some great presents as well. I bet she just loved all the attention. And big yey on her first steps, that must have been exciting.

Danni, so sorry to hear about the tough him you are having at the moment. Is little Oscar any better yet? What is Coup? I have heard of it, but don't know anything about it. Thanks for thinking of Jack as well.

Raels, Oliver sounds like a very happy little man. What a cheeky little thing with the head banging, it must have made you laugh. Jack is very similar with his walking, or lack of. He takes a few steps on his own, then realises what he is doing, starts to laugh and falls down. It's so cute to watch.

Well, can you believe tomorrow is the big day for us. It's Jacks 1st birthday I still can't belive how quickly it has come. Unfortunately he is going to hospital for another dressing change, but hopefully he will still have a good day. We had a party for him on Sunday, with just some family and close friends, and he had a great time, and got very spoilt as well. My cake was a hit, Jack loved playing with the cars I used on it afterwards. It was so funny when it came to blowing out his candle. Of course he didn't attempt to, but when I said to all the kids standing about 2 metres away that they could help, Jack and I were nearly blown away with all their efforts and Jack cracked up laughing at them all, it was so lovely.

Anyway like I said tomorrow is another dressing change, not looking forward to it, but I had a dream last night that they removed the dressings and it was all healed, just a little red, I can only my dream comes true. Hopefully this time he won't get to upset, it should be just a dressing change, and they won't have to remove anymore skin, as he seems to be fine until they do that. We might find out tomorrow more about the skin graft.

I'm waiting to find out when exactly it will happen, before I talk to my Doula clients about theirs births. It's unfortunate that 2 of them are due within a month, one any day now. They know what happened, I just said I'll have to play by ear what's going happen. Hopefully they don't go into labour while I'm in hospital with Jack. But I guess if that happens, it happens, I just hope they will understand.

I just noticed, in 3 hours, 365 days ago I started to labour....... Wow, it's just a little exciting and sad at the same time.

Hope everyone else is well.

hEY EVeryone!!

Just a quick one from me as I have some paperwork to fill out for work (haha that sounds funny) and then I want to have a shower and spend some time with Jason.

First day of work went well!! I just did some filing and created some spreadsheets. It seems like a pretty cruisey job and is similar to something I did with my old job. I meet the other part timer tomorrow and I think we might be doing a job share role where I work 3 days 1 week and 2 days the next, so I will be working the days she isnt. I think that sounds alright!! I have to have an interview with the HR board tomorrow because I never went in for a interview in the first place, was hired beceause my dad does work for them so he put in the good word for me.

Daycare said that Avaleigh had a blast!!! That is such a releif. I left her there this morning and she was just so interested in the other kids so didnt really notice I left (was kind of sad!) THey said if she gets really distressed they will call me. I hadnt heard from them all morning so I called at lunch and they said she has been wonderful!! Had heaps of play with the other kids and went to sleep and everything. So that was good!! Jason picked her up and was soo happy to see her playing happily away. He said that as soon as she saw him, she waved and jumped up and ran to him. I am kind of sad that I wont have that reaction cause Jason will be picking her up cause I wont be getting home til about 5. Oh well! hopefully she will be happy to see me when I do get home.

Mel - LOL No I havent tested!! I said to Jason yesterday that AF still hasnt arrived and he did say anything about it until the first few mins I was home today!! He asked if its come yet and I said no and he said to buy a test on Thursday. He said he'd be really happy if I was pregnant again!! We arent financially secure for another and to be honest, I dont think I am pregnant! My chart says that I may have ovulated 3 days ago so we will see what happens. I might just buy a test to humour Jason on Thursday.

Well better get off here but first of all.....

Happy FIRST Birthday Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its the start of all our babies birthdays - OH how exciting!!!!!
