Nelly - shake it off hun, shake it off. don't let a few silly people mouthing off take away the good things that you have gotten from here (she says coyly pointing to herself )
Hi everyone else - i'm here - just. I'm reading and lurking, but just don't have the energy to post anything. I'm so sad, and despondant at the moment, that just getting through the day is hard enough. I was laying on the bed with aston tonight, silently listed the things that I am grateful for, to help shift my focus - and the biggest thing I am grateful is the gift of my children - of the honour of having them in my life, and the opportunity to be beside them as they journey through this world.
I'm glad nelly. I would miss you terribly. I feel so lucky and glad to have met you & the girls in my Belly Buddies... I do. We are a special lot!
Vicky but a big squishy hug.
Us... I just had an emotional blackmail conversation with my mother, who is coming out for 6 weeks soon, and then both girls have screamed for the last 20 minutes since I've gotten off the phone..... not a good start to the day.
My mum... she said she was coming out & I said "Great!" Then I said I'm working 12 hour days between Christmas and New Years and could she come out the first week of Jan. So yesterday she sent her itinerary and its Dec 28th... I work the 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st.... 12 hour days. So I phoned today and said that, she said "oh, so you want me to cancel my tickets? You don't want me there" *groan* 45 minutes later, we finished the conversation with me saying "I'm sorry mum, I DO want you to come out, I just won't be able to see you the first 4 days except after 7.30pm when I will be tired" What a great way to start the whole thing She's here for 6 weeks. EEEEEKkkkkk!!!!

Nelly, i think when you make a cake with
- one cup of very tired women who are too tired to read original posts very carefully and might only pick up HALF of what you said, and go off on a tangent
- half a cup of hormones going mental due to preg, post baby etc
- add these dry ingredients to a bowl of anythign to do with money
it can all turn mucky VERY fast. So that is not an indictment on you, i think it's just circumstances.
and often stuff that COULD be worked out very quickly IRL "but i meant......" - whereas in cyberspace, no poster is told "you are misunderstanding me" when they write their reply, they're off on their solliquoy - cos that's how forums work. it's not interactive.
so please don't leave Nelly!
Christy - was it your mum who had serious health issues early this year?
i am cringeing for you, that you so clearly explain about the dates, and she just ignores you - eeek!
is she staying AT your home, or nearby? or using your home as a base for flights off around Australia to sightsee?
has she come to visit before? i detect you holding your hands over your eyes, like you know what's coming!!!
is she good with the girls? does she get on with your dh?
good luck!!
Vicky - thinking of you and the DN situation hon. relatives - they make fiction sound boring!!
Gigi - Bilby is just gorgeous!!!! Can i ask you, and please dont get offended or take this any other way than me just asking - are you or dh south african? i went to school with a girl who was south african and my goodness, the likeness between her and bilby is uncanny
Christy - what a shame about your mum - mothers!!! cant live with 'em, cant live without 'em!!!
Nelly - dont be disheartened about people - gigi put it really well i think with her cake analogy
Ann - Glad to hear you are all doing well. i wouldnt worry about ella with her dummy and needed the door left open, it'll be good if those comforts will transfer when the babies do arrive so she feels a bit of consistency - not that you wouldnt offer it to her, but thats something thats HERS and i'm sure she'll appreciate that!
Jols...anyone home? where are you? yooooouuuu-whhhooooo?
Helllllooooooo everyone else...i gotta get out of this room BLECH, hot and yucky here today
Vicky - dont worry about lurking at least you are keeping a handle on reality with all the things you are blessed with.
Kim - you still around? more pains?
Nelly - thanks Nelly I've been doing a lot of reading, online shopping and dropping into the hospital for scans. things have settled so that's good news.
Tara - YOur absolutely right. We have to try and get her to settle and make sure she has what she needs for emotional support. She's very close to DH now which is fantastic and she loves to cuddle the "Double babies" in mummy's tummy.
Gigi - going to check out Bilby's new pics now...!
oh hun.... there have been so many debates about that & everytime someone posts, it brings out all the nastiness....
