Cindy - I hope your house is in better shape the next time you see it...
Ok, operation update...
I swear my life is all about hospitals at the moment. I'm really not happy being in them anymore.
Well, the end of August I'm going in for surgery for that pseudo cyst. They are going to drain it into the intestine which she said may take 2-4 weeks to do. They are going to stitch in place a drain for it. She also said that she is going to remove my gall bladder like it or not, as she doesn't want to open me up a 2nd time years down the track. There's nothing wrong with it now, but she feels that it has to come out. Anyhow, she's going to leave me a beautiful scar. She calls it a roof top cut. Where she will cut from rib edge to rib edge centering up to the sternum. 40+cms across. (sorry TMI) Not happy because I've now got to quit my last remaining job too. She said I will spend time in ICU but thinks I'll be out in a week. Yeah, with the emphasis on the week bit, hmmmm.
I'm sure this will put a stopper in the chances of actually starting IVF by the end of this year. but as long as everything else goes well, I'll be happy to go down that path when the time is right next year.
We are going away to venus bay tomorrow night i have a party down that way so we figured a break before the move might be a good idea! It was cheap too, im thinking a girls weekend away! was $100 for a 2 bedroom self contained cabbin...
se a
ON the house - they have cleaners and stuff going in over the weekend - its settles today at 2.30 but i have to leav them a set of the keys and then by the time we get there on monday it SHOULD be all fixed up!
While we are away my mum and sister are going to come to our house and do some cleaning and packing for us! How wondeful is that....
OK, got to go get the house organised - got a friend coming over soon and its filthy coz i have been working all week and al has been home not getting much done at all other than shopping - he is such a girl
Well I really couldnt have asked for better kids today. I went into work to have lunch with friends at 12.30 then went to MILs for the rest of the arvo. Liam fed in the cafe and Jordan ate his lunch in the highchair. He was in undies and didnt have any accidents YEAH Liam slept like an angel at MIl and on the way home both boys sleep. They are now both fed and in bed. Oh I just love it when they both co operate and the day goes well.
Getting myself waxed downstairs on monday.A little nervous about my c section scar but my beautition is aware of it as has been doing it with prev scar so will just be extra careful. I cant stand being hairy downstairs anymore ( sorry TMI )
Cindy cngrats on the house settlement and have a great weekend away I cant wait to see your new house
Melissa OMG you poor darling I hope all works out for you
howdy guys,we are home.the trip up there was anightmare.it is a 4.5 hour drive,we left at 11.20 am thinking we would be there by about 5 ish with a stop for lunch....WELL.....we kept losing all the luggage on the roof cos it was so windy and absolutly pouring so we stopped about 4 times trying to tie it all down,we eventually made it to the bottom of the mountain at 6pm and then there was a terrible blizzard going up.a bus went over the edge and cars were falling off the cliff everywhere.we didnt know how to put the chains on the wheel so had to pay a guy to do it for us.i pulled in under a carport for a guy to do it and knocked all the load off the roof..LOL....wasnt funny at the time,me and grant were really stressed and the kids were beside them selves as they had been in the car for 6 hours by this stage,then we crawled up the mountain and couldnt see a foot in front of us from the snow storm and the traffic was terrible due to all the cars slipping off the road,it took 3 hours to get to the top instead of 1 hour.we got there at 9pm. over 9 hours!!!!!
anyway we were all pretty excited when we got out of the car and found ourselves in the most beautiful winter wonderland.it was like being in a xmas fairy tale.we went into the chalet and it was geourgous and homy with a lovely fire burning,we unpacked and went to bed,we were exhausted,the next morning we ventured out and built snowmen and made snow angels in the snow and walked around the village,it was beautiful but half an hour for the babies was enough,they just wernt used to being so cold,grant and the boys went taboggening etc and i stayed in the with the little ones. the next 2 days went buy pretty much the same with lots of photos and restaurants for dinner,chantelle got really sick with tonsilitus so it was off to the hotham medical center to get antibiotics,she picked up the next day and seemed alot better by wednesday,so thursday we put the babies iunto the hotham day care and we went skiing,it was awsome,me and grant have got really sore bodies now and didnt even know we had muscles in some of these painful places,it was sooo much fun and corey was a natural,he pulled on his skis and was flying down the big slopes with ease,me and grant got a lesson and spent the afternoon skiing on our own,james hated it and took his skiis off straight away but was happy to watch.we were so sad we didnt get to do it earlier due to chantelle being sick cos we had to come homew today,we are already planning our trip for next year but will go to buller instead as it is only 3 hours away....much better i think.
i found out from a friend that you could order the big things from the target sale early so i went up last weekend and ordered the trampoline,doll house,kitchen and other large things out the front of target at a table before the sale.it was so easy and they just send you the receipt in the mail and it goes straight onto the xmas laybye at the sale price.....how easy is that.
cindy i cant wait to see your new house.
racheal i dont have msn but i use james all the time.otherwise i am on facebook.
melissa,i hope all goes smoothly and just try to put your trust in these proffesionals and try to keep positive for a successful ivf sometime soon,wow it is a huge op isnt it.the more i think about it the more i beleive that benjamin was truly a wonderful gift to bge able to come into your lives before all of this started,i am thinking of you and praying that everything goes as it should.

thankyou all for your kind words last week,i was at an all time low and may even have discuss the posibilty of depression with the dr.didnt think i would be doing that but i should at least rule it out if it isnt the case.i am feeling better after a break away and am going to try to not let things bother me so much and try to look at the bright side of life.lets see if that helps,sometimes my job as mum,nurse,wife,housekeeper taxi chef etc etc just gets all too hard and i feel like i am drowning.anyway enogh of me.i have really enjoyed reading what you have all been up to
Well we have the keys to the house but coz we are going away it doesnt feel like we have a new house at all! I went there today to look at it again and OMG someone had been there and done a little cleaning but also REMOVED OUR SHADE SAIL!!!!!! Our solicitor is doing her best to sort it all out for us..... Its a never ending story with us!

Take care everyone
I've just got home from dinner out and now I'm just chillin out with a cuppa at the puter...
Jack and Toby are buggered cause we had dinner with 2 other couples and all up there were 7 boys....Madness I tell ya!! But they all got along well except Toby is a bit little still and mainly wanted to stay with us..
But dinner was yummy and where we went had a huge indoor play centre, a minigolf course and loads of arcade games, so the kids were happy!
Cindy, hope you and you're family are having a lovely time away in Venus Bay..
Nikki, yeah my god what a drive up there!! But glad to hear you guys had a ball in the snow!! Sounds amazing..
Melissa, I can totally understand why you are over hospitals...I really hope that after all this stuff is over with, that next year, you guys are ready and raring to go with the IVF!!
Tracey, hope you had a nice tea with your friends and enjoy your clean bed...I know exactly what you mean...nothing beats the feeling of slipping between nice clean sheets hey!!
Kris, hope you've had a lovely weekend too..
Well better get off to bed...I'm being summoned...
Nighty night...
Alex where did you go for tea,it sounds great for families.
Well today we re arranged Jordans room and I really like it, feels like there is more room. We have just put him down for a sleep however he has gotten up a few times. As he hasnt had a sleep for a few days I would like him to have one today. FIngers crossed.
hope you all having a great weekend despite the crappy weather
