Taralee, bilby has never slept thru the night. Even though she is sleeping more now (increased from three hours a night - no day sleep -
to
ten hours sleep per night - with two or three feeds amongst that - and maybe one hour day sleep if it's a VERY good day. Like we've driven home, she falls asleep in the car, i park in the driveway and leave her in the car, i weed in our front "handkerchief" of a yard and wait for her to wake up. only way i get her to day sleep.

BLANCHE - congrats on getting to your six weeks goal - that's great.
Your new house sounds wonderful. i hope you didn't have to housemove with a newborn!!!

AJP - it sucks being ill and not being able to take normal meds when you're preg.

Taralee, that is so sweet about Evie's swimming, what a little mermaid star she is, that's wonderful.

VIcky - how close is your dh to his surgery now?

Christy - have you been to see your mum yet? how is she doing?

Nelly - i hope the ob/gyno has some good news for you

how frustrating for you, when everyone around you is falling pregnant.
it took me five years to conceive, so i remember that feeling well (feeling it was SO easy for everyone else but me).

I am going into hospital (for PND) on Thursday morning, and doubt i will have internet access while i'm there (possibly for a fortnight) so i'm just letting you know, so you don't think i've disappeared or being a snob. so keep my seat warm on the bench.

hopefully, things might improve after this.

awww Gigi I posted in the cloth nappy thread, but you will be missed. I hope you get some mental rest while you are there

I went to a sleep school with Matilda, and the best thing I got out of it was mental rest. I got nothing out of sleep.... in fact it cemented the problems we were having, but I got a mental break & for that I am eternally grateful.

I want to know when 5 became an AM rather than the end of a huge night????

oh gigi I just wanted to give you this

I hope that the hospital stay helps - for lots of things - you, your relationship with DH, feeling like you "winning" with Bilby. I dont think people really understand how debiltating it can be. I know when I had it after Nathan, it took me 8 months to actually admit that there was something wrong - and by then it was so deep seated that it took a long time to feel like the sun was shining again. In hind sight though, and I have been told this by several physchologists, that because I had not divulged any information to my care providers about my sexual abuse history that it was more then likely the first episode of Post Traumatic Stress. I often wonder if I had of been more forthcoming with information would my recovery been quicker? I guess hind sight is a wonderful thing that way!! I guess I'm telling you this to keep it in mind for yourself, as I know that you have walked a similar path to me....

christy - remember the days when 5am was when you were crawling into bed to sleep away the day... another lifetime ago...

All the best for your stay Gigi, i hope it really helps you *hugs*

Had a scare this morning...i woke at 8....Craig stayed home again, went back to sleep. Dead to the world, Craig says 'Kim look at the time' the clock says 12.35.....FARK.....kids still in bed.....no it cant be that time, must have had a power outage....look at the computer...945....

Damn black outs....we were thinking OMG bad parents letting kids be in bed til lunch time, no breaky, clean bums....

All is good...LOL

**christy** · June 11th, 2008, 02:38 PM

OMG I couldn't even believe sleeping in until 8am

LOL at thinking it was 12.45... that would have freaked me out too.

Kim - LMAO thats hilarious!
Gigi - I hope you get something out of your stay...you can use my lardass to warm the bench here for you

Had a bit of a ****ty morning. my hormones must have just forgotten about me because i really just hit rock bottom...then i felt some kind of movements down below and though 'OMG it's too early!' but at least it wouldve made sense...anyways, it was nothing, i had a big cry and now feel better...oh the joys

hi all - if any of you are on my MSN contact list - I am NOT sending you a message about checking out some photo on myspace. it is a worm that attaches to your MSN and randomly sends out messages - it isnt til you click on the link (like I studidly did) that the worm is activated. I have spent HOURS trying to get rid of it off my laptop - and still unsuccessful.

I have contacted Mircrosoft, and they are aware of it, and are trying to do something about it apparently. so if you get a message from anyone on your MSN saying something like nice foto and then a link... DONT CLICK ON IT!

spread the word.... warn your friends
