Okay! I'm finally getting on here to say hi to everyone! I've been MIA for a while. Just when I thought the cold and morning sickness was going away - then they both come back with avengence for a week! But now I've hit 16 weeks, and just as it was with shaun - I feel a million bucks now!
Tania : Glad you are putting your foot down about the bank account. I can't believe the cheek of your SIL. You would think she's depositing thousands of $$... but $10 !! pfft! I would tell her "you can't really buy a swimming pool with $10... so that money will be safe in his account!"Your DH should be supporting you - so it sucks you have to hide the birth certs just in case...
Sara : You had me sooo worried when I missed your MSN yesterday morning (and I only just missed it too)... then I saw the message on here that you had gone to hospital!!!! I'm so glad to hear that you are okay. And it's great that Brent is there with you this time. You've had to suffer too much on your own! Not long to go now!! seriously - my belly looks like yours - and I'm only 16 weeks! I'm sick of people asking if it's twins! Hope Briley didn't get sick after munching on Toilet Duck. Shaun got stuck into the cat food the other day and I phoned the nurse on call line and they said cat food is fairly nutritious!
Shazz - I know what it's like to have no voice. 7 full days I lived in silence. It was so frustrating, as I automatically answer the phone, and a little squick would come out. It was so embarrassing. And being pregnant, I couldn't take any decent medication to ease the aches.
Kim - I hear you about the velcro child. Shaun goes one day on/one day off. Sometimes he plays for hours by himself, other times you can't go to the loo without him screaming. Most nights he is pretty good though. We've learnt to let him cry for 10 minutes at 3am... and he just goes back to sleep. Damn about the sciatica! I got a bit of that before getting pregnant. think from holding shaun on my hip. Went to a physio and he said to tighten and tilt the pelvis. After a few days it really helped. I've had the odd pain with this pregnancy... but then I remember to do some exercises and it helps. BTW... did you go to the "B" party? What did you dress up as?
Elissa : good luck TTC mate. Just have fun & enjoy the journey! OMG at Archie eating the Daktozin! They will put anything in their mouth! Shaun got into a tube of bonjela once (which he loves). But I caught him fairly quickly. I wonder if his whole mouth went numb though?
Leanne : hi to you... hope you're well
Vic : You and I posted at the same time! So hi to you too!!! a 4yo in size 8 !!! That sounds huge. Isn't it normally size 4 for 4yo's?? Don't envy you there! How's your gym going?
Today I had a potential buyer for my salon come down and have a look. She was quite impressed I think. She said she will talk to her accountant and get back to us. Fingers crossed that she wants it. I'm asking $110k... but I'm prepared to just about give it away at the moment. She seemed like a really nice girl... so it would be great for the current staff if she did buy it. I'ld hate them to get a wicked new boss.
Shaun has been walking more and more each day. first it was a few tentative steps.
But now he will confidently walk across a room by himself. He walks for ages if you hold his hand... but because he's so small, my back aches from reaching down to hold his hand!
We've booked flights for Yarivs mum to come over when I have the baby! He is still in a bit of shock that she wants to come. We originally booked flights for a month (leaving on the 19th Dec) - but she wants to stay longer!!! WooHoo. She is so adorable. I might even learn to cook some stuff when she's here.
We're STILL trying to get our house organised for auction. On the weekend we worked on the bathroom... finishing the renovations that we started 2 years ago! Silly little things like Yariv had painted all the tiles and glass brick window rather then using tape... so we had to scrape of heaps of paint! He thought it would be 1-2 hours. Ha! 7-8 hours later!!!! I have written him a list of 'things to do'... so each night he has to do something.
Well... Life is good at the moment. It will be better if I get an offer on the salon
talk to you soon!
