Good luck with the in-laws Vicky! Sometimes they can be a handful.
Jols - I'm thinking 2 boys but i'm hoping for one boy and one girl. Only a few more days and you find out! woohoo
Nelly - how are you feeling these days?
DH is working late yet again. Its been 3 weeks of this and i'm sick of it. Nag nag nag. I'm hoping they bring in paid maternity leave soon!

have fun vicky!!! hope astons better soon
goodluck today christy :hug:
ann i think you'll have 1 of each, were not finding out the sex, having a surprise baby again!!
arrrhhhhhhh half way today!! cant believe it!!
blech
what up?
you okay tara??
WOOT at halfway Jols!!! (although if you were me, you'd have another week to be half way :P)
So me... well... no idea atm. The assessments were pretty okay. Speech didn't go so well. It was pretty hard getting Matilda to say anything, and that was good because they need to see her as she is. She wouldn't listen at all. Then we went to the OT and she was perfect :rolleyes: Anyway... they didn't give us any indication of anything today. She has a lisp, that we know about but haven't done anything about.... just have had enough to deal with like behaviour and food allergies. So now that will be recorded and advice given on that as well.
So thats about all for the moment, I'm processing.
i dont know..i feel like i have so many issues i'm trying to deal with and nothing's working for me. on top of that i started spotting today...i cant seriously be getting my period again already..altho maybe i'm just pms'y
Sorry Christy, does that mean they're moving away from an ASD diagnosis now?
:hug: tara
No idea, neither assessor was willing to give us anything other than that there were some responses that weren't "normal" but they didn't give me any indication of what they thought *groan* way to stress a mummy!!!
The Speechie said that her "emotive" responses were not as good as her others, also that there were some impairments in the way she pronounced things. But nothing is unrecognisable...
The OT said that she was going to assess all the results and my sensory report and pile it together. She said that she noticed the low muscle tone and inability to sit still.... and that it wasn't a concentration issue. Okay so now I need to not over complicate everything and think too much until the final deal... Oct 28th. ARGH... 4 weeks away.
Oh Christy, just try and breathe until then and know that nothing you can do or have done will change the results. at least getting the results mean that you can productively move forward, BIG hugs to you.
My deal is that I have battled with OCD for a long time..mainly just the O part of it...anyways, my O at the moment is this; DH works with this girl and carpools with her. i dont like her, basically. and here's why. everything that she says is a lie, she is a classic victim. loves attention. I dont, personally, think its appropriate for a woman to carry on to someone else's husband about where she buys her underwear, that she had an abortion at 14, how good a certain g-string is etc etc etc. DH and i have argued over what i think of her and he's not an idiot, but i just dont think he sees what she's like....SO WHY DOES IT BOTHER ME?!?! WHY DO I CARE!??!?!?! why am i investing so much into this?!?! i think she's prettier, thinner etc than me...even tho im assured she isnt ;) (not just by DH). I think she thinks she has one over me...i dont think she realises that I KNOW EXACTLY what she is like and that is driving me mental...BUT WHY?!
anyways...welcome to OCD :cry:
just one of my issues today :(
can i also just say that its the tip of the iceberg with her...there is so so much more that she does and i completely disagree with but no-one else seems to realise how wrong it is!! again..why do i care? i dont know
:hug: hun OCD is just hard.
If it were me? I wouldn't be able to stand it. Even without OCD. ANY mention of G-strings is inappropriate!! Unless they had been friends forever & she was in a relationship, than I wouldn't worry so much. BUT any mention of anything sexual to me is inappropriate & somehow something will HAVE to change. It doesn't matter if she was the fattest, ugliest woman on earth... it is STILL inappropriate.
Tara - the carpooling person - hmm - that's a deal breaker to me - i'd come close to giving dh an ultimatium on a topic like that - "DH, i am really upset that you carpool with such an inappropriate person, if you don't put a stop to it, that tells me HUGE things about how much you don't respect me and our relationship". Yes, it would be THAT big a deal for me. You are not being silly Taralee, it IS an issue. WHy do you care? You want to keep your r'ship, so YOU don't go round having intimate talk like that with other men do you?
Christy - sorry to hear your heartache about all this testing. So nervewracking when professionals watch, ask questions, make notes, but give you NO feedback. i know, our minds imagine the worst, when they go all quiet on you.
Ann - i hope your dh's overtime or whatever, finishes soon, you and Ella need him. What is Ella up to these days? still loving her swimming classes? or has it become too much for you to take her to those at the moment?
Vicky - good luck with all the guests/inlaws etc. I bet you'll have some "interesting" anecdotes to tell us about the Visitors, AFTER they have left!
Us: bilby got to have a play date today. at the end, she cried to be picked up by my friend, and she wanted to be cuddled by my friend for a good five minutes, THEN she would allow herself to be put in the carseat. My unaffectionate babe wanted a definate cuddle. so unusual for her. The whole play date, my friend attended to her child, i attended to bilby, we struggled to teach them "sharing", like you do with a 18 month old and a nearly two year old - who both want whatever the other child has.
hi ladies... i've been reading.
:hug: to you Christy and tara. The stress of waiting, as well as your impending move would be sending me over the edge. I hope that you are able to do a bit of soul feeding in there somewhere babe. Tara - like gigi, I would be feeling exactly like you - without OCD. The physical and emotional stress of having an almost 2 year old, and a new born is enough to make anyone feel very ordinary. Would DH consider at all to STOP carpooling? While you KNOW on an intellectual level that how you feel is excerbated, emotionally it is what it is, and DH simply not carpooling with her anymore could do a world of difference to your head space hun.
Gigi - your little girl is growing up - just like all our little ones hey. too quick!
Ann - hi hun. how quick this pregnancy is going. though it probably doesnt feel that way for you. How is Ella? what does she say about the bump?
Jols - have you had your scan yet?
Blanche - how are your little peoples? Jack is growing so fast, and Emelia is looking as gorgeous as ever.
Nelly - hope Jake is on the improve babe.:hug:
Kim - your on the down hill stretch now, and Jasmines Birthday is so close. Cant believe she is turning one soon.
Me - i'm f@rcked!!!!!!!! aston isn't well still. he has a double ear infection, has not slept through for over a week, is cranky and irritable when the nurofen wears off. so hope the antibiotics start to have an effect this evening. I'm cranky and irritable, and sore. my back and hip are hurting like nothing else, because I have been lifting him so much because he is a cuddly boy. DH is doing my head in. and quite frankly I'd like to disappear for awhile!!!!! the house guests are fine - its everything else that I'm struggling with. sigh.
talked it out with dh just now...i have never felt so confused in my life. i dont know what it is in particular that is bugging me. i feel like i am totally alone on this one. its not that i dont trust him or want to leave him..i feel completely unvalidated...i dont know what i want
Hun the particular thing that would be bugging me is that she is inappropriate with him. He may not recognise it but it is. Also that you know the mind of this woman, he doesn't. DH has had women come on to him before & he'll happily tell me what happened & then he's so shocked when I get cranky! :rolleyes: Men! They just don't get it at all.
I asked DH last night "What do you think I would do if you carpooled with a women who spoke to you about things like g-strings" and he said "freak out" So there's some validation for you.
Thanks Christy, it helps. What the f**k happened to the sisterhood?
tara id feel exactly the same as you!! what she is doing is sooooo not on!! cow!
yep same here Tara - just inappropriate. I have guys friends whom I go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back with and we joke about that stuff but not some random car pooler
