lol jols. Aston does that, jumps around in the cot, chatting away, eventually lies down and goes to sleep. He is much better now. thank god. had a much better night last night.... now if just DH would chill the f@ck out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man oh man - he is driving me up the wall. and he will probably be 10 times worse once he has the op!
well I just hit the metophrical wall... knew it was comign, but isnt it strange the things that finally tip the balance. nathan accidently dropped a glass he was drying, rich started moaning, I stood in the doorway to stop aston from coming in, aston shuts the door on my fingers!!!!!!!! and I screamed. and cursed and screamed some more, and left the house. went and stood up by a field, to calm down. oh dear.

so how was the field Vicky? Did it give you a good chance for a think?
BTW, nothing you said offended me, honest! i'm not on medication cos no-one at that clinic asked me ANYTHING about how i felt, or about PND, to even get to first base about medication. I am not against it, it just never came up.
thanks for your kind words everyone, there is SO much more i could say, that would REALLY have you gasping (as in, OMG, how could that have happened in such a place?) but i won't bore you with even MORE stuff, i didn't spill the worst stuff cos i didn't want to depress you.
TaraLee?? you know your silence is making me think . . . . maybe today????
THinking of you and wishing you the best labour vibes possible hon!
I really hope it all goes well for you and your new little person, plus big sis and your dh. But mainly you, you're doing all the work!!
oh gigi... I am sitting here crying reading that. I HATE those places!! I can't believe it! URGH what is the goal of that sort of place?? Urgh, blah, groan, and moan...
I just want you to know I think you are amazing. You know Bilby better than ANYONE could. You went there & knew that what they were doing wasn't right for you, you knew that dropping those breastfeeds wouldn't be right, you knew that they way they handled you & her wasn't right. THAT's amazing!
I went to a centre when Matilda was 10 weeks old, and it was very similar. I went there for breastfeeding & sleeping issues, and I left there with breastfeeding & sleeping issues, but I found out while I was there what I liked and knew. I know my child better than those "specialists" do.
You know Bilby so much better than they do, and you know what is right for her. Thats amazing.
Vicky... good luck getting through that op. You have held it together well so far, its okay to go out & scream & get cranky... its fine
Sorry Gigi! no baby yet. but my goodness, i am sitting here with my mouth on the floor. i am absolutely gobsmacked and in tears over what you went through. i am so so sorry that you endured something like that...i honestly can't believe that somewhere like that exists..especially in this country, with all we know about PND and breastfeeding and even sleep issues today.
I hope you can just write it all off as a bad experience and continue on your parenting journey. put it down as a feather in your cap as an example of how you don't want to be. maybe your experience will benefit someone else who's thinking about going or something. what i'm trying to say is please don't lose faith in yourself or what you're doing. do what you need to do and what makes you and bilby happy. how's things with DH? how did he react to your hospital stay?
Well today I got emergency care for Jovie as my FDC wasn't available, but then as I left work early to pick her up, she fell asleep, so the carer said she'd call me when Jovie wakes up. So now I'm doing the loads of washing, cleaning & getting things done.... scary
hey girls, just wanted to let you know that blanche is in hospital with Jack, He has bronchilitis. Poor little chicken. She said that he is in a little box and can't give him cuddles, so when he is upset she can't pick him up, and it is really knocking him around.

Oh no poor Jack, poor Blanche! I was always worried about bronchiolitis with Matilda.... we never got that far thank goodness.
Too bad all my cleaning efforts yesterday seem to be wasted today, my washing is now flooded and no sign of the rain letting up... which mean.... Vicky are you stranded, flooded in school holidays??? *shudder*
Well... I went to a seminar last night & missed out of the night craziness. Nice
wasn't flooded in when DH left for work this morning, but the rain hasn't let up, so I guess anything is possible - which really won't be a good look. I'm cranky cranky cranky - AF is due to show her horrid face, and PMT is reigning supreme. PMT and rain - great combo!!!!
Eek! Jols.... Do you still have your toes I have the heater on in QLD.... I'm a wus. Now remind me why I'm moving to Sydney????
Thats right... we're definately going now. Not until November, around Jovie's birthday... and then we'll be a house of no children under 2!!! Wah... I wanna borrow a baby for a few hours :P
