*sigh*
Darren is away for "work" a corporate weekend at the grand final 3 days 2 nights of boozing and relaxing which he really deserves...
of course jake knows daddy is away and has JUST gone to sleep at least 2hrs after his latest normal bed time.... didn't want to sleep in his bed, wouldn't doze on hiss couch like he sometimes does, not mummy's bed - in the end I picked him up and told enough was enough he was sleeping in his bed and the little monkey has gone straight to sleep grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
-
oh no nelly, they seem to know when to play up!!
we won tickets to a corporate weekend a few years back, was awesome!!
stayed at the marriott for two night, got wined and dined, went to grandfinal brekky sat, game was fully catered for including what ever alcohol we wanted! then an afterparty.
chrsity oh is matilda sick? hope it stays contained to her!! poor jovie!! love the tanty stage as well :rolleyes: not!
-
hidey ho peoples. I have had such a busy week this week. But it has ended lovely, with a gorgeous friend and equally gorgeous daughter coming to play and have a sleep over. It has been so nice to sit and relax, and enjoy this place that I live at. especially after the busy week I have had.
DH's dad arrives on monday for 3 weeks. so it is going to be a busy busy time.
Jols I can't believe you are nearly half way!!!
Nelly - :hug:

Just popping in quickly to say a huge thanks to the ladies who have supported Beyond Belly over the last 13 months....sadly we are closing down....25% off listed price with a code (found in MPM section).
Hope your all well...im 25 weeks now and as you all know..a DS on the way.
Take care ladies :)
-
so glad to say bye bye the week. Its been a bit of an emotional start and end to the week with work but hopefully next week will see better things.
Went to a farewell with Ella where she was the life of the party and scummed half a bag of cheetos from my CEO and finished the few remaining chips in the Chilli Kettle chips bowl. She came over and said "Too Hot" - hilarious. So she had a great dinner!
We moved our Morphology scan up sooner coz the OB wanted it done sooner - hey I dont mind. We get to find out a week earlier. That's 3 weeks away. This pregnancy has just gone so quickly (well the 2nd trimester anyway) Though I'm not as focused on it as i was with Ella.
Cant wait to find out the sex. We need to start preparing....
Looking on Ebay for 2nd hand twin prams. Going to sell our car next month and get a 2nd hand 4x4 to handle the new load. Arghhhh so much to do.
-
Crazy Ann... there is so much to do.
Jols, nah Matilda's tantrums are extreme and whatever is going on with her (Asperger's or Sensory Integration) is at its worst atm. She looses control over everything.
-
wow Ann, your one busy lady!! cant wait to hear the genders..hope your sharing!!??
Leigh went to the chemist yesterday to get some dimetapp for Jack and they said no you have to have a prescription for it now if for kids under 2..i was like WTF did anyone else know that? they told Leigh that it has been in since september 07 :s
no time for personals sorry Jack just woke
-
Hi Blanche - yeah I discovered this earlier this year. apparently it has some not so good side effects! nice to tell us NOW!
-
Gee, i buy Dimetapp at chemists without any of that, i hadn't heard about adverse side effects - we use that for bilby too.
How is Jovie today Christy?
-
its due to the antihistamine, its not recommended to under 2 yrs!!
ann oooohhhh scan soon, when? mine is on friday
vicky i cant believe im halfway either!!! scary stuff!!
christy i must be sooooo hard for her not knowing and understanding whats going on, not to mention hard on you!!
-
Hi Ladies, just popping in. Glad everyone is well.
Christy - I think all I can do is just wish you strength and patience at this time...it must be so frustrating for you and i cant even imagine how you're dealing with Matilda and then Jovie as well! I think you deserve Mum of the Year award ;)
My dad's over for the weekend which Evie thinks is fantastic! she hasnt stopped running around..poor dad lol
anyways, best go make good use of time while both kids asleep! ;)
-
awww fanks tara! I take it one mummy meltdown at a time :nahnah:
I just spent 20 minutes looking up Asperger's t-shirts..... I was bawling my eyes out, stupid t-shirts!!! Too much truth. I started by doing my general dairy free search because they've outgrown their dairy free t's.... and I thought I'd look up ASD stuff. I will wait until the diagnosis before getting full on into it. No point until then....
-
Oh Christy - I dont know exactly what you are dealing with but I feel for you. Hope you get answers soon.
Jols - are you going to find out if you are having a boy or girl this time? Do you have any ideas?
Blanche- we gave it to Ella early this year when she was so stuffed up and we didnt know. But i heard a week after that dimetapp was being restricted!Hope we didnt do Ella any harm.
Vicky - HELLO!
Today I spent sitting on a hot water bottle. I've got sciatica so badly this time. Its come earlier than it did with Ella but then again I've already put on 7 kg so would explain a lot.
Ann

awww christy :hug:
tara enjoy having your dad over! great that he entertains evie so well!!
ann not having another surprise baby, thinking boy, would really love another girl though!!
what do you think your having?
dimatapp, i got another bottle prior to september 1st!, though to be honest doesnt work for us that well!!
-
I'm the same as Jols - purely by coincidence got a bottle of dimetapp and demazin before the laws change... but I too find that they sometimes just don't do anything.
-
hi lovelies -
i'm here - but you won't see much of me. have my inlaws arrived this morning, and they are here for 3weeks...... plus rich's brother, then the last week my sil as well! i may need to be locked away in the funny farm by the end of it. aston isnt well, again. so have had a week worth of horrid nights.
sorry for the lack of personals. you are all in my thoughts, :hug: to you all xxxx
-
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!
Ann

-
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!!
-
-
-
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
-
they;ve been working together for 4 years. he thinks that i dont like her because i think he likes her. so that has just made me feel worse, like everything i think about her is just invalid and i must be making it up.
ive always had issues opening completely up to people for fear of getting hurt, with the exception of DH, and now i feel like the only way i can stay in this relationship is to leave a piece of me closed off so that i dont ever feel hurt..but thats no way to be in a marriage. I've found that i have started to see myself as being completely independant so that i dont have to rely on ANYONE for anything, again, so i dont get hurt. sometimes i wish i could just be on my own, with no-one else around me. thats how i feel now.
i really dont know what to do or how i am going to get out of feeling like this. and to top it off, he's just left for work and wont be home til 2am
-
its ok, i'm over it. i "nutted it out" (i've always wanted to say that) with a gf who also has OCD so totally gets my headspace and with DH...i'm back on top
-
-
Tara - big hugs. Glad you have a GF to can provide you some answers.
Gigi - Bilby sounds so cute asking for cuddles and who wouldnt want to cuddle such a gorgeous little girl. Ella loves swim class and has been bumped up a class (i think to make room for more kids) Not sure if she's ready for it - we'll soon see. But she is trying to keep up with the boys who dive into the water and can swim a bit! (ella cant)
Chirsty - how you holding up?
Vicky - Poor Aston. Hope the AB's do their job soon. Pregnancy seems to be going fast now i'm past the first trimester. Cant believe we will see our babies again in 2 weeks!
Jols/nelly- how are you guys going? how's the bump?
Ann
-
fat.... just fat :rolleyes:
-
:hug: you are NOT fat!!! I can totally understand feeling this way.
Tara I'm so glad you are feeling better about things.
I'm holding, totally anxious about things.... I don't think I can fit anything more stressful into our lovely mix. Lets see, hospital assessments, work, movings, and oh... trying to find tenants for our house. I'm taking it one day at a time, we have another rental inspection this weekend. I hope we find someone!
At FDC today Lizzie put hair bands in Jovie & it was sooooo cute!! We've never done it with her yet because her hair is so short but I think I will try more. Encourage her to let me.
