Kim- i sent DH down to maccas for some relief-thickshake style and the machines were broken!!!! so i settled on my prescribed drugs - at least they worked :(
early labour signs again tonight, back ache and groin stabs now so myabe not too far away...lets see if i'm still around tomorrow
Christy and AJP - what is your rule of thumb for knowing HOW MUCH puree to put in your recipes.:
Like if the recipe says "one cup of sugar" for muffins for eg, do you both think "oh, my substitute is X amount of puree??? is that how you work it out?
I would love to see your recipes anytime.
ANN - congrats and WHOA NEDDY! what amazing news! I hope you were sitting down when you were told. That's alot to take in. WOnderful and a bit scary all at the same time.
Vicky - how is the driving going (since your accident) - i've been meaning to ask you about that for yonks. ARe you still painting one day a week, time for you?
Kim - i'm spitting chips i didn't get extra spouts now, i didn't understand they fitted on other bottles too. Bilby has been poking STRAWS thru the top of her Kala cup and DISABLING the valve thing - so dh has to muck around to make it alright again - little monkey!!!
I am four pages behind, so much go and catch it ALL up before any more replies.
DH has been back three nights (incl tonight) -feels like a long time. Our communciation is really bad - if i had somewhere to move to, i would be gone. Me, who always swore i would never put my child thru the family breakup scenario.
Ann - sorry to hear you are feeling so crook, i had that for four months straight, like housebound - it totally sucks. I think if you are going thru it, and being mummy to Ella as well, i agree with the others, ask your gp for help.
Vicky - safe travels, have a good holiday (and the odd glass of vino darlink)
Taralee - thinking of you, dying to hear your news!
AJP - infected thumb sounds very sore.
I had to skip over the snot and pus stories too, havne't eaten yet tonight and i don't want to be put off!
Christy - thanks for telling me about Matilda taking years to be affectionate - that gives me some hope to hold out for - although she won't be seeing me cuddle another baby - we're not having another. She does get very jealous and territorial over me, at childcare, when other little kids come up to me (i stay there for an hour trying to settle bilby).
Our new CC starts this week (Wed and Frid from now on). SHe's had two orientation visits there, which went really well. It's smaller, less kids, community run and homey. THere is a couch, much higher % of qualified workers, it feels inclusive, it's not so clinical and production line feeling, music is played during the day, bilby doesn't run crying and hysterical to me, when i come to pick her up. i think she's happier there.
Tara that sucks the machine was broken!!
Gigi....yup extra spouts are damn handy!! Hope Bilby goes ok at her new centre, sounds so much better :)
you still around Tara?!!
Gigi- good to hear you found a better centre sounds very 'homey'!
*yawn* im so tired Jack had been sleeping through the night lately, but last night he woke twice, then i was just about asleep and Emelia woke for the day arghh i feel like cr*p,~sorry for my whinge~
yup still here...trying to be positive and think that any pain and stretching now is just some i dont have to do later *sigh*
Whinge away Blanche, I hated that too.
Tara... you too! Whinge until you can't anymore, I know I did :P
We have had a few crap days, super crap and I've been so cranky with DH because he is at work which I see as the easier of the two jobs atm. I told him when the kids are at school I'll stay part time to make up for all the work from when I've been home with them.
Count me in for the crapy days too.
Ella's been waking up a few times a night and wont settle for daddy. She screams for mummy and I fall asleep on the chair next to her only to wake up freezing. I must remember to put my robe onn.
THe MS is so much worse. I chuck every day at the same time. 8am. So i'm running late for work. I had to tell work coz I'm running late all the time and I'm also showing in a MAJOR way. Cant believe how I've popped out.
Tara -No words. Just hugs.
Hugs to other mummies going through crappy days.
Ann

I don't know if it's just hormones, but I don't think I could feel any crappier.
I just feel so down, like i have nothing to look forward to (please dont state the obvious), uncomfortable and crappy.
it's been raining here for 2 days straight and i mean heavy non-stop rain so thats certainly not helping.
I feel so torn because my ob said on monday he would do an internal and try and get things going which in one way i really really want, but i wont actually be overdue by then so i can't in good conscience do it. i should just wait til the week after, but i;ve just had enough.
i'm so teary and snappy and fly off the handle at the smallest of things, and i dont want to spend this last bit of time like that
hope everyone else is well and had a good day
hun why not change your appt to the day your ddue or day after?
send the rain down here!!
