I'm guessing that's good news.
So... when will the move be?
As for your question re my mum...
If I never saw her again, it wouldn't bother me at all. The minimum contact that we currently have is also fine by me. So I won't be overjoyed to see her again - but I'm not angry or bitter at her. I just have no feelings what-so-ever. Whereas, I think she will lay on all the "motherly love" so thick - that it will make me sick. We will just have to see how the meeting goes. I'm doing it for her sake - not for mine, and not for Shaun. He has 2 grandmas - Yariv's mum (who will be here in November) and my stepmum who he adores. My fear is that she will consider moving back to Melbourne, especially when she finds out I'm having another baby. My mum makes enemies where-ever she moves - thus the reason she left Melb. No doubt she has ****ed off a few people in her current suburb. Also her husband (her 3rd) sent me an email indicating that he wanted to leave her. So if she was alone, she would probably move back here. I have told her that if she ever wanted to be a part of our life, the condition was she (and I) would have to have counselling. This is something she doesn't think she needs - pfft!!!
jodie - some peoples minds work in mysterious ways! Its great that you don't let things with your mum affect you.
kim - sorry you ended up in a fight with DH, good news about the job for you though.
Archie got up earlier than usual this morning, so we wnt and got a lock for the kitchen food cupboard so he can stop helping himself constantly during the day, this has helped my anger and frustration a lot! The we went to the playground and had the whole big playground to ourselves arch ran off all his energy and is now in bed re-energising. I am just making a mushroom meatloaf for dinner, mmmmmmm mmmm.
hi all i'm here thanks sara
and to answer your question hun i was so so very over my body working extra hard it wasn't funny still to this day if i get a tummy ache even i cry i'm so over pain
yay kim when is the big move
hi everyone else i'm off to bed
Oh Kim I'll be sad if you go now that I have finally met you IRL!!!! Are you able to come to the Sydney dinner on the 11th? I seem to remember that you couldn't for some reason, can you Leanne? Anyone else want to pop up/down to Sydney for the night???? Maybe we could have a May babies meet up at a central point, how much fun would that be?? Wonder where the central point of us all is?
Anyway enough rambling, I will attempt personals before Jess rings to pick her up. Sheree- the problem with the internet as Kim said is that you can't hear tone or see the body language which accompanies a comment. I think Kim's post was very well put and I can't really think of a better way to say it. You have to decide how to react and whether you will let the opinion of one person affect how you feel about yourself. Tania Glad you are back hun, what an exhausting time you have had!! When do you move?
got to go Jess ready!!
I meant to say, we are going to meet Wade's parents and granny at rocky as a half way point. The last time wade's granny saw Lachlan was when he was in hospital when he was sick when he was tube fed. She has these horrible recolections of it and she kept wondering if she was ever going to see him again (seeing as she is old). So she is so excited, it will be so nice!
For those who have more than one child I have a question which has become a debate on our train.
Four of us have kids. Me, and three others have one child and the other has two. She only works four days and her kids are 8 and almost 2. The other three of us work full time and our kids are 1, almost 2 and almost 3
Now the debate is this.
Is it more tiring to have two kids? I was not around today as Katy was sick (again) but that's another story. Missed a huge argument on the train (shame that), and well I just wanted to know what you ladies thought.
Sorry, rambling.
Who knows haven't go there yet, I would guess yes especially when they are sick, but then I reackon everyone would deal with it differently too and maybe 2nd time mum is a bit easier! I am not sure. For example - As much as i don't want another refluxer, I guess I would know what to do next time round.
kim - hope you have a goodnights sleep to fix your mega headache
sheree - enjoy your holiday, your grandma must be so excited to see lachlan again
leanne - as a mum of 1 i don't hve an answer to your question, but i have had several mums of two tell me that mothering was easier with 2 than with one, as they were experienced in mothering and with 2 they helped keep each other occupied and the older one look out for the younger one. I would think it would be harder with 2 though, really depends on your individual circumstances i guess.
i have just realised that i am going through a tuff time with anxiety again but i can't work out why.....maybe its cause we are ttc#2, i have put it off twice already due to anxiety so i don't want to give in to it and stop ttc again, sorta want to get ttc pg and birth over and done with, not looking forward to them at all, but do really want one more child. Maybe i should see someone about this, i have never been formally diagnosed or admitted that i have these feelings....it seems to be getting increasingly harder to go out and meet new people, the thought of playgroup tomorrow terrifys me!!
Sorry for the vent just trying to sort out my feelings atm..
Ohhh Elissa I too have suffered with anxiety and still do at times. I try to keep myself busy (which aint hard these days), then I don't think too much. I reackon when I have time to think, the lump in my throat comes back and I can barely swallow. That is how my body deals with anxiety. It is such a horrible thing anxiety. I have been on anti-depressants for it sometime ago now (I think it was 3-4 years ago now). I would see someone if you think you are suffering from it, bad or not! You are better to nip it in the bud! I reackon TTC brings back my anxiety, and I try so hard to tell myself it doesn't matter it will happen, but then each and every month comes and goes too hey! I think after this cycle which ends on Sunday, this will be our 4th month. Big hugs to you Elissa.
Leanne in answer to your question its both!(so no answer really) When you have more than one child you have to drag children around to each others play dates, soccer trainings, dance lessons etc but you also have help and they can keep each other amused (sometimes!) I guess I am the wrong person as my age gaps are so big, my girls fight like cats and dogs a bit ATM which makes me wish that Riley was an only child!! Actually damn it I am going out on a limb and saying its much harder when you have more than one cause you are trying to share yourself around and its mostly more work too. The more I think about the whle debate the stronger I feel about that LOL
