Shazz, when will you find out if you've gotten in? I have some calculations and science books that would be perfect. THey aren't too heavy either.
thats great kim i'll definately have a spot if i pass the tpp course casue i have a
cert lll in aged care AIN
sheree - big hugs, i send you lots of love and hugs and huge sticky vibes.
sara - those dreams are just terrible, the older i get and the more 'strange' things i experience the more i believe that there is so much we dont know about. Do yu believe in that stuff?? Have you ever had a reading done? i haven't had one cause finding out about future events scares me. Glad you enjoyed your mum's party, the costumes sounded great! Hope you all get over your colds quickly.
jodie - well done putting your foot down about firing the staff. i can't believe bub is almnost here already! Great news about how litttle weight you have put on this time!
shazz - so sorry that Ryan isn't sleeping, hope it doesn't last much longer. Woohoo on the uni application, sounds like you are really ecxited about it, thats great!
christine - i really hope you don't get sick! happy birthday Jess!
kim - hope you are feeling better now, woohoo on the bargains!
tania - glad to hear that your 'talk' seemed to have some effect on Jayden's behaviour. love the new pic, he looks so grown up! Archie is extremely affectionate at the moment too, always running up to people for a kiss and snuggle, very cute.
We had a great weekend away, was great to catch up with family, some i haven't seen in 10 years, there were 12 young kids there and only 2 of them were girls, so Archie had a ball! He travelled fantastically, i couldn't believe how great he was in the car, it was 4 hours each way and he hardly whinged. on Saturday Archie ate a huge amount of junk food then that night he kept wakng up and dry reaching, he has never had gastro bfore so this was the first time he has done a 'proper' dry reach, he didn't actually spew but since Sunday morning he has had the runs, both Dh and I had a bit of it too so it must have ben a bug i reckon, thats okay, poo i can deal with, its spew that completely freaks me out!
Am counting down the days til i see the GP to talk about help with anxiety and possible depression have had a bit of a cr@ppy day today, but am putting some measures in place tomorrow that i reckon will help me keep those yucky feelings at bay so im feeling fairly in control atm.
DH just got 2 weeks holidays confirmed in Feb, its my cousin's wedding in the middle of theose holidays so we are planning on getting in the car and just travelling around for a couple of weeks, visit family and also spend some time away just the 3 of us, we are very looking forward to it!
That's cool about yoour holiday Elissa. When's your appointment? LOL I just went and had a look at your homepage - last photo on there is of you 14 weeks.....any updates?
I sent you a pm too.
Oh Elissa, glad you had a good weekend, and your holiday sounds just what you need. Hopefully you get your anxiousness sorted out soon. You are such a strong character that I admire.
Well maybe things are ok here, I had a bout of nausea tonight. You know the sensation where you take deep breathes to try and get a grip. Even the warm room from the shower made me feel sick.
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! Crazy huh, but bring it on I say, I need reassurance!
kim - LOl as i said to you in the reply to your pm, i am very technologically challenged and Jay isn't much better! We have a new camera that came with a VERY simple program that doesn't give any options for making pics smaller etc, so every time i have tried to download photos onto the internet or email them it doesn't work, we have a very slow computer atm too, its starting to age quickly. I would be happy to print some photos and send them to you, but doing it on the computer just isn't working for me atm!
sheree - woohoo!!!!!!!! I have never been happier to hear taht someone is feeling sick LOL, great news sheree. Thankyou so much for the kind words, you really made my day.
Kim: Well done on the bargain!!
Sheree: I know how hard it would be but try not to stress too much until you’ve had your scan, I would be just as worried as you are if it were me, but stress won’t help you or the bubba. Sending you lots of sticky vibes!! Great to hear you are feeling sick again…..hmm that just doesn’t sound right hehe
Sara: Sending you the photos wasn’t a hint, I could imagine how busy you are. Sorry if they came through twice, we don’t know why it did. How funny about the geese!
Shazz: Sounds great! Well done again and good luck!
Elissa: A few ppl have been saying how grown up he looks….Its nice but it makes me a bit sad too haha. I hope you are all feeling better soon, that’ll teach you for eating lots of junk food hehe not that I can talk! Can you try to get an earlier appt if you are feeling that bad? I hope whatever you have planned works!!
I was naughty at work today and snuck in to check the posts…..I didn’t get time to post but I’ll try it again tomorrow. Its very tense in the office ATM as our young tech was fired and our other tech is off with a bad back, the boss is fixing the copiers and that is “beneath him” Its funny to watch his mood swings sometimes but I’m getting annoyed with it as he is dragging the morale(sp?) down with him. I pulled him up today for b!tching about a customer while I was on the phone to them!
Anyway I’m off to bed, this will be an early night for me lately if I go now!
tania - it is scarey how quickly they are growing isn't it?! Im sure if i explained how i am feeling that i could get an earlier appointment, but the thing with feeling like this is that it is really hard to admit that you're not coping and that you need some serious help, so i am dreading talking to the GP about it as it is but i know i really need help thats why i got the apointment, very nervous about it though. Hope your workplace cheers up a bit, must be hard working in a place that has such a low morale.
Archie is having quite a restless night again tonight, keeps waking up really angry, doesn't want me to touch him, but will sit there and cry, maybe having yucky dreams again...
Well done for making the appointment then, it must have been hard. Once you get there you will probably find its easier to open up than you think, just think Dr's deal with it all time so s/he wil know where you're coming from.
Poor Archie! Jayden woke up 1 morning like that, i tickled him thinking it would make him laugh but he smacked me and cried harder! Certainly sounds like nightmares.
I had a blanket made for my nephew with his name DOB & weight and I emailed his details but instead of 2007 I typed 2006! Its my cousin that makes them and she was going to check the date with me but thought it may have been for a 1st bday or christening....I could have kicked myself! Its fixable though so its not too bad! But very frustrating!!
Anyway Jayden is having a nice sleep in so I might finish getting ready for work......Oops Chris isn't up either, he has to be at work in 30 mins!
What a bugger about work Tania - hope things improve for you.
Elissa - when did you say you appt was?
Hope ARchie had a better night for you Elissa.
Morning girls,
I am really really sick. I had a terrible nights sleep. Body aches, temp and cold symptoms. I woke up in a pool of sweat at one stage but i was freezing cold. I woke up thismorning feeling ok but i am going down hill big time now.
Briley is pretty crook to the poor thing. Colby is ok though.
Well i really have to go and rest. I just put Briley down or a sleep and i need one too now.
Sorry for no personals.
Hope you are all well...
Naughty me sneaking on while I'm at work!!
Sheree: I hope so too! It hasn't helped that i have been really restless lately too so i just don't want to be here, i need to be doing something more active or something i don't know. I have been eating heaps because i don't know what else to do (beside work i mean haha)
Sara: Oh hun, i hope you get better soon!
Oops nearly got busted...better go hehe
tania - thanks Tania, im sure you are right about me being okay to open up to the dr. Bummer aout the blanket, such an easy mistake to make, lucky its easy fixed. hope Chris got to work on time!
sheree - i have the first appointment of the day next Tuesday. i can't wait to get help but i am also scared that he wont think i need help like he did last time, i am really good at hiding it unfortunately even when i ask for help both the counsellor and dr thought i was fine without much help at all, wish people could read my mind! Archie had a rotten night, thankfully Jay got up to him though so i was very greatful, Arch was awake at 5am, not happy Jan! he ha been extremely tired all day.
sara - so sorry you are feeling so unwell, lucky you are such a fantastic strong mummy, a saying my mum has is "mums are too busy to get sick" repeat it to yourself and you will get better quicker, trust me it really works!
I have terrible period pain today, haven't had it this bad in a long time, had no pain last month for the first time in my life, so it makes sense that my body is making up for it now! Thanks goodness for naprogesic, i can't get out of bed without it.
Got out of bed this morning at 6:30am and bundled Arch into the pram and went for a half hour walk, planning on doing it every morning from now on, meant to help with depression/anxiety, i panicked the whole way but i did it.
Archie is such an entertainer, he has a million and one funny over the top facial expressions now, and is always telling some long winded exciting story to whoever is closest, such a gorgeous boy!
Elissa - I can def see you are good at hiding it. You come across so confident on here and as I have said before really admire you, but you are obviously hiding something as you said. That is great hubby got up to Archie. Lachlan only woke once last night, which was a nice change. Good on you for getting out and going for a walk. I reackon that will do you the world of good. Hey maybe you should go to someone else if that guy thinks you are ok. Gosh if you can admit something is wrong, why can't someone just help you? That use to happen to me too, when I didn't get pain one month the next month was a doozy. And I agree I love naprogesic too, some people say it does nothing, but i have to say the pill and naprogesic have always always helped my period pain greatly. Lachlan is the same, he has so many facial expressions that we think he going be an actor, GOD HELP US!!!
I have had alot of discharge today I can feel it coming out. It was normal colour but it is starting to get a tinge to it again!!! Grrrr..... I am so over this!!!!
Sheree - i hope the discharge steadies up for you again. Great to hear that lachlan slept well last night, makes such a huge difference doesn't it?! you said exactly how i have been feeling, my last dr appointment i finally admitted i needed help and the dr told me he was sure i'd get through it without psych or meds ro counselling, went to counsellor anyway and she said i was fine too. i think its cuase everything they tell me to do to help things i already know and understand what to do and how its supposed to help so they figure i know what im doing and ill be fine. it really frustrates me cause i tell myself allt he right things to make me feel better but the anxiety and depression always seem to win. Think ill have to bawl my eyes out so the dr realises i need lots of help right now. Its realy hard atm to believe that ill ever feel happy and relaxed again, if i can get the help i need im sure ill work through it though. (sorry that turned out to be a bit of a vent!) They are such little characters now, so funny i can't belive how great Archie's sense of humour is already.
I am so tired i feel like i need to be sick....thinking i should probably get to bed
hey girls and bubbas
how did you all go on the cup today anyone win lol i won i can't quite believe it i actually picked the winner ok i'm knackered and i'm off to bed
I got the winner Shazz...pity I only went in the sweep at work, i should have put a real bet on! $30 is good enough!
Well I am attempting an earlier night tonight, i have just spent 2hrs putting Jayden to sleep! He is finally asleep, so i just have to put the washing in the dryer, clean the kitty litter and put the dogs in the garage and then i can go to bed....hopefully
You are closer to bed then me Tania, this little monkey thinks it is play time and wants to stay up. Wellllll I have got news for him. Everytime we put him to bed he screams and won't stop! Little rat bag, if this is what a 3 hour sleep does to him, then I am waking him at 2 hours during the day in future!!!
Whahooo you had a win, good 4 u.
I didn't even see the race, we still don't have tv out here. We have power but they are not sure when our town is going to get free to air tv again......
I still don't even know who won.
Is there anything I can do Elissa?
efficient won sheree followed by purple moon not sure on 3rd
Morning girls,
Well i am still crook. So is Briley. And just because we are both feeling shi**y she has to be up at the crack of dawn! I had the worst day with her yesterday. She just cried practically all day. It was sooo frustrating having to listening to her crying while trying to get better myself. Brent's mum gave me some Panamax lastnight and that did the trick but i have woken up just as bad. So i have taken some more panamax and i am starting to feel a bit better.
Sorry it TMI but......
When you hock up phlem....Where is it stuck too??? The sides of your throat or your tonsils??? I think i might have tonsilitis. I have been hocking a heaps of yellowy plem which has blood in it. So either my tonsils are bleeding or my throat is.
Tania - You sneaky little thing you! he he! Bummer about the blanket for your nephew! But as you said, its fixable! Good on you for picking the winner in the Melbourne Cup! I wish i did. I even put a trifecter on. Did you get your early night???
Shazz - Good on you too for picking a winner! I went online and studied the stats of all the horses and their previous races etc thinking i would surely get a win! I even included that Master O'reily cause he was tipped to be the favourite! But no! None of the horses i pick even placed....It would have been lovely to pick the trifecter! You sound like you had a good day!
Sheree - Ohhh hun....sending you truckloads of sticky vibes!!! Why don't you's have TV??? Has there ever been free to air telly out there??? Did you guys get effected by that big storm in Rocky yesterday??? Sorry for the 101 questions! LOL! My family is up from Rocky at the moment and my uncle's g/f's son called and said that her car had been flooded! They had like 100mm of rain in like 30 mins i heard on the news. Pretty normal for Rocky at this time of the year though.
Elissa - I have been getting lots of period type pain too. I read that your meant to get backache from the mirena but i am not sure about abdominal pains. Its even worse while i am sick cause everything else is aching too. Maybe you should try a walk everyday for the depression/anxiety. Don't go too far from home to start with and then gradually go for longer. A walk gives you time to clear your mind and have some quiet time. Thats if Jayden is quiet ofcourse!!! When we push Briley around the yard in her stroller sometimes, she just sits in there quietly and sometime sings to herself. Its so cute! I will give your mums saying a go today!!! I will let you know if it works!
Hi to everyone else! Hope you are all well.
Well i better get going. Got a load of washing to fold and a few other things to do.
Have a great day ladies!!
Oh and did you all get my email of pics??? Sheree...your email address does'nt work for me...What email should i send them too??
Hi everyone, I will be ringing for my blood test results this morning, I have been stressing all night long!
Sara my email address is tuby1975@bigpond.net.au. And yes we have had telly, just that the storm wiped out our big signal tower for the town.
Sheree: Good luck with your blood test! What time did Lachie get to sleep?
Sara: Bummer about your bet! After you went to so much trouble studying it too! I got to sleep about 10.30pm again, so still a little late for me haha. I hope you and Briley get better soon, good that Colby doesn't have it! I know those days where jayden won't stop whinging all day and i haven't been sick like that as well! Not sure about the phlem thing but i would be getting it checked out!
Well lots of work to do today and no motivation to do it! I might pop in later if i get enough work done.
Have a great day!
I can sense your lack of motivation girly, you never get on and post thru the day.
He went to sleep at about 11pm in the end. Little ratbag!!!!
Naughty Lachie! Your mummy needs lots of rest!
Still got lots of work to do :(
Love the piccies Sara.
Your girls are just gorgeous.
Off to get some lunch.
Elissa big :hugs: to you. I know how you feel. Email me at any time if you need to talk. I found that walking really helped me. Is there someone close to you you can walk with and vent to.? My cousin was a lifesaver at my lowest time.
Hi everyone.
Just got my last lot of blood works through and the results are:
5 weeks 4 days - HCG 9700, Progesterone 43 (which indicates between 6-7 weeks pregnant - I thought I was further along cause I def ovulated 4 days earlier then usual)
So to date my results are:
4 weeks - HCG 220, Progesterone 54
4 weeks 6 days - HCG 2800, Progesterone 45
5 weeks 4 days - HCG 9700, Progesterone 43
Progesterone didn't drop as much and my HCG levels are really good, even better then Lachlan at the same stage in pregnancy.
Looks good so far.
Have a scan 2morrow at 2pm and that should be the determiner.
Feeling more confident though that all is ok
Well done Sheree! The levels don't mean anything to me i have no idea what they should or shouldn't be, but obviously they are good. Can't wait to hear about the scan tomorrow!
That's excellent news Sheree! That little bubba wants to stick!!! Good luck at the scan tomorrow!!! I wonder how many little sacs will be in there this time?!?!?!?
Thanks Leanne!
Well we just got back from the Dr's. Briley and i are both on antibiotics now. Briley is'nt as bad as me though. Aparently inside my ears are all swollen and red. Aswell as my glands and all the rest. My head is absolutely booming right now!
Anyways!
shazz- well done on picking the winner! I forgot the race was on!
tania - well done to you also on getting the winner, hope you had a good nights sleep.
sheree - i didn't see the race either, i forgot it was on, i can't believe you dont have TV out there, my life would be much more productive without tv i am sure! You are doing a great thing for me sheree, just by being here to listen to my daily whinge and offering your support, means a lot to me, mwah! wow at lachlan's late night, hope he doesn't make a habit out of it! Fantastic news about your bloods, looks like this one's a sticker! Bonus being firther along too.
leanne - thanks for the advice, i started walking forst thing in the morning the last 2 mornings and it has worked wonders, panicked the whole way but felt better for it afterwards.
sara - thanks for the pics, they are beautiful! Glad the Panamax helped you last night, bummer Briley hasn't been easy to live with while you are not feeling too crash hot, hope you don't have tonsilitis, i don't have tonsils so can't offer any advice on the phlegm, sorry. Your advice is very good, i actually have started to go for a 20 min walk around the neighbourhood first thing in the morning, first morning i panicked all the way, this morning i was fairly good, makes the day feel so much more positive after a walk in the fresh morning air, Archie loves it too. Oh, and forget my mums saying, i came down with Archie's bug today, only a minor thing luckily but still, i don't much like it! God Sara you poor poor thing, you must feel like death warmed up, hope the antibiotics work really well for you both.
i am very happy to report that i have had quite a good day regarding anxiety/depression, have felt really positive all day, on a bad note i have picked up Arhcie's bug and have been in a bit of discomfort all day, just the runs and bad wind pains, nothing too terrible. Mum has just taken Archie to her place for an hour, he must be so glad to get out of the house, the last 2 days he has spent lounging around watching tv ALL day, poor kid, fingers crossed i feel good tomorrow and we can head to the park for a run around. i am having a very lazy couple of days, have ordered pizza to be delivered at 6, when Jay picks up Archie from mums on his way home for tea break, i dont get much lazier than this! oh well, care factor is very low at the moment LOL.
BBL
Sara - I am pretty confident there is only one, don't have a feeling of two like I did last time and my levels don't indicate two. My levels for twins at the same stage would be something like 55000 like they were with my first twin pregnancy.
Tania - will text you the news from my scan, if it is good news that is, which i am feeling more confident that it will be.
Elissa - I sure hope this one is a sticker. If the scans shows all good, then it just shows that I don't have uneventful pregnancies with bleeding and I can do singles, it is just doubles that I can't! So glad you feel better today. Your support to me is fantastic too, you are a gem of a person and make sure you believe that!
Well we had a severe storm warning again this arvo with expected hail like last time, but thankfully it must have gone around us.
But we have had a drizzely rainy day and the shop is leaking again and we have lost a bit more stock grrr.......
I am so over it. The shop roof is getting fixed by the mines insurance but they can't start working on it until the insurance comes thru and it stop raining.
We have resorted to putting up tarps in the shop 2nite. It is too much grief to replace stock again and go through the insurance process again!
Feeling really good about my scan 2morrow, I soooo hope I am not dissapointed.
sheree - thankyou so much you always manage to give me a boost. Thank goodness the storm seems to have missed you! hope it doesn't take too long to get your roof fixed, we are still waiting to get the little hole in our ceiling fixed too, it has been over 2 months now, can't seem to find where the water is getting through, i am thankful we have insurance though as each rain we have the damage just keeps getting worse and worse, nothing at all compared to your damage of course!n I have no doubt that your scan will be absolutely perfect, you will have one big healthy bubba in there growing like mad.
Archie has been such a beautiful boy tonight, im sure he can sense that i am feeling relaxed for the first time in i don't know how long. I think he has been watching Jay and i kiss cause tonight he has been constantly coming up to me and giving me these big long kisses, i am savouring every single one of them and feling like a very blessed mummy, i know the years will fly and before long he wont even want to say hi to me let alone plant one on me!
Oh how cute of Archie. Lachlan is cute like that too sometimes and just comes back and forward for a kiss. I really encourage him to kiss me, sometimes I think he is like "again" but then other times he really really wants to give me one or two or three. He really is an affectionate boy. Glad you are feeling a bit better.
Sheree just wanted to say that I will be thinking of you lots tomorrow. I have everything crossed and can't wait to hear some good news! Do you mind SMS'ing me? I'm out and about and after tomorrow night won't be online till next Monday.
Hopefully by mid next week things will have calmed down around here and I will be back to posting normally... I can only hope anyway!
Love to you all!
Sure will Nat, I was hoping you might post for me if I don't get back online, but doesn't matter, I am sure all will be good and I will be eager to get back on here and tell everyone the great news.
I'm sure it will all be good as well! I will def be online tomorrow though if you need me! Just in and out all day as I've left everything to the last minute :doh: and I fly out Friday morning!
Sorry what did I miss, where you off too?
I keep forgetting to tell everyone too, i am going to Mackay on Friday till the 19th Nov, so I will be offline for a while too. I am hoping to pick up our new car in Rocky on friday on the way to Mackay. 6 hours mind you that trip, so might stay in Rocky overnight yet, that is of course if the car comes in otherwise will have to pick up on my way home.
