Just online for a little while and thought i would pop in and say hi.
Things are going ok for us. Briley is growing nicely. Still no teeth, crawling or walking. Although i don't think they are too far away. I can feel the tip of a canine tooth coming though and she pulled herself up for the first time the other day. She has been doing some VERY runny poo's lately so i think a few more teeth may be on the horizon.
I am going ok. Had to go to hospital on monday cause i picked up a bug on the weekend and was vomiting for over 24 hours and could'nt keep anyting down. I got up monday morning and felt ok while i was laying there but as soon as i moved i started to vomit again and this time it was blood. I had started to get some pretty painful cramps by this time and decided it was best to go the hospital and get checked out. When i got there i was fast tracked and found to be severly dehydrated with keytones and protien in my urine. So was hooked up to a drip, given some maxalon and panadol and sent on my way. I got a bit of a fright when the nurse came in and asked me if i had any medical conditions and i said i was pregnant and she said yes i picked up on that. She then asked me how many weeks i was and i told her 13 and she oh...your hormones must have dropped. This scared the sh*t out of me cause i thought with the cramps and was getting i was going to lose the baby. But all turned out to be ok.
Other than that things are pretty uneventful. I think i can feel the baby kick sometimes but i am not too sure. I think to myself surely it has to be way too soon but it certainly feels like it sometimes. I have been getting a little heartburn again the last week or so. But other than that i am feeling pretty good now. Tiredness is not nearly as bad as it was. I have my moments where i feel really tired and drained but that is usually after a big meal and towards the end of the day.
Brent is going away to the mines to work next week. He scored a job through a friend doing what he is doing now just out in the mines. He will be flying in and out 14 days on 7 off. Its a lot of time to be away from Briley and i but i think the time will be good for him and I cause things have been extremely tense between us lately. He went for his induction for the mine yesterday and the company he is going to be working for just put him straight on their books full-time. I was quite suprised at this but VERY happy all the same. Especially since the going rate for full-time is still $30 an hour!!!! I suppose they have to compinsate for the time that they are away from family with money.
I am not at work today cause the road that i use to get to work is flooded over and i could'nt get through. I am happy and shi**y at the same time cause i like that i can stay home but i need the money. Tomorrow is my last day so hopefull it will be ok to get through then. It has been raining cats and dogs up here for days. We got 240mm of rain from 5pm yesterday to 6am thismorning. Then we got another 80mm in an hour and a half!!! Lots of roads are blocked today. It is worse with the king tides too. So The Big Wet is finally here!! Mums b/f is stuck up north cause all the roads are blocked too!!
I start uni on the 28 of Feb. I am so excited about it all. When my mate michelle had her baby a couple of weeks ago, i just wanted to be with her constantly helping her through the labour and birth. When Rian came i just wanted to be there more to help her out with him. I went in one day and the midwife was helping Michelle bath Rian. Just watching her help Michelle just sealed the deal for me. I knew then and there that mifwifery was what i wanted to do. I have never felt such as feeling of assurance about something all my life. It was a great feeling. I know it's going to be a long time before i get to that stage but things don't happen over night do they!!!
Anyhoo......this has turned into a MASSIVE post. I am sorry for the lack of personals, there is way too much to catch up on. I have skimmed through them and did notice a few issues with off formula and faulty nappies!!! But other than that everyone seemed to be going well. I am sorry that i have'nt been on lately. Just when i am going ok with my computer and posting here on BB, brent goes and stuff's up the computer!!!! MEN!!!!
I really hope that all is well with you all. Welcome to the couple of newbies!!! I will be back online soon enough and will be able to get to know you a bit better. Give all the babies a big kiss and cuddle from Briley and I. We miss you all so much. Especially me!!!
Don't know how long it will be before i come back online. A couple of days probably. Until then......
Ciao
