Oh Ann - they just don't get it do they. Is there something more going on than just the course do you think? It's seems like a pretty strong reaction to stress...do you know what i mean? is there something else he's worried about or something...i dunno...just from what you've said - his reaction is pretty extreme for something that will be all over soon

[luua]

Good question tara. He's gone bowling for half a day which is *nice*. I wish i could do that.

He says we'll talk some more tonight but he may be too P!ssed to do that. I'm not going to TTC right now the stress is not going to do a baby any good so it's postponed.

He said last night." I thought our relationship was fine. Why are we having these problems". Such a silly man. I told him "you cant just expect it to be fine when communication has since Feb". Men think that they dont need to take care of the relationship. Once its in a good state, they can just leave it.

Kim - can i borrow craig? he can come and talk to my DH or give him a kick up the bum.

Ill lend out Craig to anyone....with in reason :P I wish things were better for you Ann. I hate seeing people upset.

Hows your DH today Gigi.....still feeling a bit down.....?

[tiggerandpooh]

Is it possible to feel that many emotions all at once.... yep - it is, and more.

My little girl has just become a woman.

I know I probably sound silly - but AF coming to visit her for the first time, is soooooooo incredibly different from when it came to visit me. And I am having a kind of proud mummy moment, because I know that Laura's reaction - which was when she got home from school at 4pm - guess what mum? I got my period today! Me - When? Are you Ok? Her - 2.20pm (lol) and Yep I'm fine. Me - did you have stuff with you? Her - yep, all good mum. I exclaimed excitedly, jumped up and down, gave her a big cuddle, and said ohhhhh my little girl has just become a woman!!! To which she rolled her eyes at me... lol.

The fact that she was prepared, and not freaked out, and quietly and confidently all ok with it, makes me feel like I have done a good job in helping her to get to this place. I'm having a warm fuzzy moment. Much better experience then when I got mine period. I sat on the toilet howling, my mum was definately not celebrating, and my little sister was unkind....

I'm a proud mother hen right about now.

[Olive]

you should be one proud mum vicky you've done a great job raising her!!!

still feel blah...

Aw well done Vicky...that really is a sweet moment!

Whats wrong Jols....hope you better soon

Im off to tea tonight with some friends...kid and hubby free. Poor Craig though..the girls are being so feral and clingy today he will have fun tonight

[taralee]

Oh thats gorgeous Vicky! and what a woman she is not freaking out! lol some forewarning that endo is apparently heriditary, when i was diagnosed i looked into lots of different herbal things to try and slow it down, one is called False Unicorn Root, there's something else but it escapes me at the mo...
lol sorry, didnt mean to burst your bubble, just wish i had some way of doing something about it before it took over!
What's up Jols? Need a drink? come sit by me lol
Sorry you're having such a **** time Ann. When i feel like that i just blurt out everything out to DH cos as far as i'm concerned, if i feel so crap then i may as well get it out in the open..whats the worst that can happen? if you decide its over then its better then living together in misery. sometimes by the time you've said it all to them you feel better and realise that actually telling them was half your worry.
Enjoy your dinner Kim!
it's my b'day tomorrow so i've decided to take the next few nights off cooking dinner lol
i'm couch-bound ladies!

Happy Birthday Taralee - I hope it was a fabulous day.

I've been to a baby shower this afternoon. My "surrogate" sister.... I have given her a whole heap of stuff from Aston. As I was packing it up today, I burst into tears.... my little girl is no longer, and I don't have a baby boy anymore either...It is all going too quick.

[*EmJa*]

Hey ladies got home today very tired so will try get back on tomorrow

omg Kim congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! how exciting

Happy birthday Tara

[Gigi]

TaraLee - how was your birthday hon? Were you Queen of the Sofa?

What you're saying about the shoes, i do that in summer, but now it is colder, and she is mainly walking on lino over concrete, it's a very cold floor - if i put her in sox she pulls them off. the only way to keep ANYTHING on her feet, is to have the shoes on.

so at home, i've been doing
- barefeet for middle of day when it is warmest
- early and late - sox and leather soft soled shoes
going out - if going straight from car to shops or a home
- sox and soft soled shoes
going out - if going to playground or park
- sox and hard soles shoes (well the flexible soles the FIsher Price shoes have, easy to make the toe and heel touch each other when you bend the shoe)

i appreciate your advice (you're not preaching hon, just sharing info) but wonder if maybe i'm just in a colder climate, and so not sure i could let bilby be barefoot as often as you suggest - i notice you're in QLD, i'm alot further south - but i do like hearing your ideas (on lots of things).

VICKY - maybe ALL of mothering, is a LONG progression of "letting go;s"???
i look at bilby's shoes and think, you're only 18 months old, how can your feet look that big!!! (knowing full well how ridiculous i am being).

being online in these parenting forums, when people are continually becoming pregnant, having dear little bubs - well, it sure doesn't stop the clucky among us from feeling - well - CLUCKY!!! i feel it too.

Kim - dh is feeling heaps better. his nose is healing so well, that was never an issue, day after op, he had no pain. The whole drama was the silly allergic reaction to teh bandages, he is no longer looking liek Rudolph teh Reindeer!! big relief to all three of us. Although bilby bopped him three times on the nose today - yikes.

At the PND support group yesterday, we did some short term goal setting - mine was to buy fruit and veg once a week - to achieve my goal of eating healthier and always having fruit on hand to eat. It felt good to set some goals (4).

ANd i got to go to the dentist (first time since i got pregnant feb06) so that was great (for me) to get done, have the scaling done (not as bad as i had feared) and no fillings (yeh). i normally go to dentist once every six months, it had really been getting me down that i had left it so long. Only painful bit at my dentist is the "do you have private health insurance yet" which i always get asked, three times. i find it so shameful to have to always say "no". it's the truth, but i had having to admit it.

DH got me a sewing machine cabinet for Mother's Day - the kmart brand ripoff of teh Horn brand i reckon - very thoughtful gift (i don't really think we can afford it ) - got no idea where to put it though. He spent two hours today assembling it - Mr Mecanno Man was in his element - and bilby made the styrofoam wrapping go in a million pieces!!! there were two long skinny bits she used like a light sabre! The Force was with her in our hallway today!

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A LOVELY MOTHER"S DAY! MWAH!

[taralee]

Thanks Gigi - you're right about the weather, thats for sure
Yay Blanche!! How are you? Home in time for Mother's Day - all the more reason to be spoilt! How's Emelia been with Jack?

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!!! Have a wonderful day!!!!!
