Jovie is sooo cheeky. She drew all over our hallway walls while I was reading a book to Matilda. I have no idea how she even got the texta. Then she came in & said "draw mummy" my radar turned on straight away... She was so proud of herself she said "cheese" for me to take a photo!!!! So I did.... soooo cheeky. Luckily I am in a good brain space atm.
wow Christy what creativity! It makes me think maybe I should put all of the pens up they are sitting in his easel tray.... a disaster waiting to happen??
Hope all had a good weekend - we had a lovely family weekend and spent yesterday morning at Bribie Island. We must have caught the best few hours of the day because it was raining when we arrived, so we jagged a great park bcos everyone was leaving, and clouded over ready to rain when we left! I took J's new stacking pails and he had sooo much fun playing sandcastles in the sand. I tell you what tho I was pretty amazed at the number of funny looks I got - must be the sight of a pg belly in a skimpy bikini lol, that or my HUGE boobs which is one thing I love about being pg!
Put the xmas tree up late arvo after we all woke from our family nap and Jake loved the baubles - there is a special one which was the last decoration my mum bought (we used to buy a special one each year and slowly replaced the grotty childhood ones) and it was the first one Jake picked up. It's now Jake's ball! Everytime he goes near the tree he says "where's Jake's ball?" and looks until he finds it - we move it every now and then too!
I had the weirdest dream last night too - I woke up with a start someone was locked somewhere and screaming my name and bashing on the wall / door to get out but I have no idea who it was. The house was silent when I sat up so wasn't Jake. The beginning of the crazy pg dreams...
Ive had a great weekend. My IL's arrived Thursday....i was sick however...but MIL took care of Jasmine for me.
Friday FIL installed a water tank and MIL looked after the girls while i done nothing!
Saturday Craig and i went and seen Wicked (**** FANTASTIC!!!!!) and then we stayed in the city over night and had a great time. Yesterday we came home and cleaned our wardrobe that FIL fixed for us.
Today the IL's leave and its sad...
BTW Jols.....those door covers are great IF you dont have a smart child that works out how to open them with in 3 hours of them going onto the doors...
Ive been getting bad pains....im just keeping watch but i dont think its the 'right' kinda pains..LOL
I am so devastated by Kerryn McCann's death. I first read she had cancer when I was just pregnant with Chino and i have thought of her almost everyday since, praying and praying. 3 children who no longer have a mother and their father without his life's partner. Their poor baby will grow up never knowing his mother...I cant even think about it....
If all we have to worry about is kids not sleeping/eating/behaving/talking then we should be so lucky.
these last few weeks i have had such a fear of something happening to me or dh or our children and this has bought it home as to how lucky we are.
lets all hug our kids extra tight tonight. theres no substitute for mothers
It seems like ages since I've been here. I got Nelly's text last week and it was great to get as it was a reminder you havent forgotten about me! (not to mention it came at just the right time)
Long story short. We had early contractions a few weeks ago. Was admitted to hospital as Twins and my Graves Disease puts me at risk of having a pre-term baby. Got some steroid shots and relaxants to stop the contractions. Had to stay for 48hrs. After that they found that I had a shortening cervix (maybe from the contractions) so I had to stay another 3 days. Was discharged last week and have been on bed rest at home with progesterone pessaries to strengthen my uterous.
I dont think my body is designed for Twins! LOL but we are doing well. They are both a great weight and coz they are girls they will do well if they were to be delivered early. (girls do better than boys) Each baby is the size of a single baby at this gestational age so no wonder they are giving my uterous a run for her money!!!!
Its SO hard to be on bed rest. Absolutely boring. I went from working my A@#se off before this happened and now BANG i have to rest. Suppose its a good thing.
I gotta admit i havent been feeling *connected* to this preganancy as I've just been so busy but now I have time to navel gaze. (literally)
tara - I had a weep too about Kerryn's death. Such a strong woman.
Kim - sounds like things are moving for you! We are trying to hold the babies in for another 8-10 weeks!
Ella is all grown up. She has been really affected by me being in hospital. She has become very dependant on her dummy and needs it all the time. She now wants to have the door open at night so she can hear us. Poor sausage. Still she knows why I'm resting. She comes home from CC and comes over and kisses my tummy (mummy's double babies).
Hi Ann! So glad to see you back - I am glad all is ticking along ok! I know how frustrating bed rest can be - I spent at least the full first trimester and some of the second on bed rest w Jake. My staple was Sudoku and trashy novels, but I also managed to start sorting a heap of photos too.
Poor Ella - if it makes you feel any better Jake hasn't been much better either and I think it was exacerbated by our week in Hong Kong w/out him - in fact last night is the first night in at least 2 months that he has slept in his own bed ALL night WITHOUT WAKING!!!! Yay! Of course I woke at least 5 times to pee and waiting for him to wake up!
Tara - we were shocked by news of Kerryn McCann's death too. So sad - her youngest is just over 1 yo.
Keep thise legs crossed kim!
Hi Jols!
Hi Gigi - my gosh Bilby is so beautiful! You have done a great job and she looks no different or less healthy than any other kid so don't change what you are doing!
Vicky read your blog - big hugs for you xxxx don't forget the retreat offer at chez nelly
Christy - how was operation clean up texta? maybe you need to turn that tank tap on again and let them go crazy in the mud!
Me - I am personally a little disheartened atm w/- some of the BB community. Made a *vent* post which most of you have prolly seen about my frustration w the $1000 bonus and how my bil exP will waste it for the 4 kids who are not even in her care most of the time. It was a vent not designed for debate hence why I posted it in the boohoo room and I was just shocked and upset by some of the nasty comments going around. It has turned into this massive debate and all I wanted was to get something off my chest in a non-judgemental forum. I was so upset I could not believe it... I was called self-centred amongst other things and it just really hurt... Poor Vicky copped me in tears on the phone - all she needs right now - and I have since unsubsribed to the thread bcos everytime I read a new post it made me more upset.
On a good note Jake slept the whole night through so we are on the up and up!
