Morning girls!

Just poppin in to say hi.

Things are going kinda ok here. Briley is good. Also a bin lover!!! She is sooo naughty about it. You will ask her 10 times to get away from the bin and she will always go back to it! She has been the real farmer lately. She was out in the yard with Daddy again yesterday trimming back the grape vines! You can keep her amused for hours outside but as soon as you bring her back inside the tiredness creeps on in.

We still don't have a date set for the operation on her eye. Not looking forward to the day they do ring and say this is it. I kinda get a really scared feeling whenever i think about it and just try and forget. We still have'nt decided who is going in with her. Everyone (Me, Brent, Mum, MIL) has said they don't really want to go in either as they don't want to see her like that. I think i will just go. As much as i know it will kill me i want me to be the last thing she see's when she goes to sleep. I want to be the one to calm her if she gets scared. Anyhooo...til then.

As for me, well friday things fired up again. Was having pains all day and while i was doing the groceries i felt baby drop and almost pee'd myself!! The contractions then started at about 5.30pm and i was having strong contractions and LOTS of back pain. I really thought something was going to happen as i managed to move my bowels twice in a matter of 20 mins. Things continued up till about 8.00pm and then just stopped! Just like that! Grrrr. I suppose its a good thing as baby gets more time in there.

So then after that, I have severe haemerroids(sp??)!!! Sorry if TMI! I had them with Briley but this is just rediculous. They are really bad. I can't really move around without them hurting. I called the birth suite and they said all i can do is get some cream for it and eat a high fibre diet. I thought that if baby had engagaed that this might be the reason for them but the midwife said not usually.

I decided to try and help things along a bit by taking a long walk around the farm yesterday morning with Brent and Briley (Oh and the 3 dogs, the blind chook and the cat!! ) This did nothing but make me feel like i had just ran a marathon. My hips, back and calf muscles where killing me! I also decided to take some of that fruit laxative before bed lastnight and that has'nt even kicked in thismorning! Even after a glass of pear juice. Baby must have decided to stay put!

So here i am 36w 4d and beginning to feel SOOOOO over it all. I am not sure wether to try and gets things happening or just leave it. I have a antental app on wednesday so i will see what Dr says then. Might just keep up with what i am doing now.

Well i am so sorry for the lack of personals girls. I do catch up with what you are all doing and how you are going.

Hope you are all well.

Take Care

Love Sara and Briley!
