Jodi.. thanks hun. Um yeh i always wanted 3. If i didnt have an epudural this labour i would be saying a big fat NO. It was the best thing ever! No pain, yet still felt the urge to push feeling. So yeh next time ill be asking for one of those straight off the bat when it starts getting bad. Hope your flu is on the way out!
Shell.. oh i hope so for you hun. I dont hear many cases that the second is longer.. typical for me though! I was the same after Jesse's. Only reason i had another was because i couldnt remember it that well! But hun, worse comes to worse, have an epidural! Oh i wish i knew how good they were with Jesse's labour! Im so so glad i had it this time. But you will be fine im sure! No one is a bigger wuss than me
Meg.. aww dear poor J. I hope he starts to pick up now.
Caddie.. oh hun i havent gotten around to trying it. I saw it in her draw today while she was sleeping and thought i must just do that! Will let you know tomorrow.. but i think it should be fine, she has a pretty small head Thanks hun.
I've always wanted 3, maybe even 4, but I think Heath is happy with just the 2. I don't feel I'm ready to stay I've finished having kids yet. I'm only 26, and obviously fertile, so I feel it's kinda wasted, iykwim.
I had an epidural with Nina, best thing ever! I was induced after my waters broke (labour didn't start), so my contractions were coming fast and strong. But with Emily I didn't even have the urge to need drugs. Even though it was a harder labour physically. Weird.
shell - I think we did $20 incl postage last year, which worked well. So that's what I put forward for this year as well. What does everyone else think?
I can't believe my baby will be 2 in 18 days I keep looking at her and wondering where the time has gone. She's such a big girl now. Talking heaps, full of character. She's even in big girl size 3 clothing!
anna - yay on the big tv! We have a big plasma, love it to bits! We do have nice weather don't we You wait till summer, Townsville will be 1-2 degrees cooler than Cairns, but it's still damn hot!
Kell- I had epidural with Ash and oh yeah best thing. I wondered afterwards why I waited so long for it! Next time I'll be asking on arrival. Ash was nearly 21 hours thats why next time I want shorter!
Jodi- ikwym, Df only wants 2 and says thats it, but personally I think its too early to say either way cause who knows in couple years or more things might change and I might get that need for another, don't think its something to just rule out.
Meg- Lol at J being cross at "suzie". Thats hilarious, better to be aimed at her than you. Glad he is recovering well tho.
AnnaT- Glad your liking it up there, you'll feel so good once you unpack and settle in. Are you going to try find playgroup or something round there?
I've had off day, bad headache and feeling so sick.
Shell - Re KK thing, I think $20 inc postage is fine. As for finding a playgroup or something, Im thinking about it. I know a group of girls up here (civilians and military spouses) who meet up regularly so hopefully thatll work out. All my experiences with groups of women have been pretty poor soooooo I tend to stear clear of them and look for a 3 or 4 friends.
Jodes - if I can talk Ry into 3 kids you could certainly do it to Heath lol
I agree with never saying never on how many kids youll have. As a teen I wanted 5. When I was TTC Jett it was 2. While pregnant with Ripley it was DONE DONE DONE. Now look at me Id have another one if Ryan would let me but he is 110% adamant that 3 is it. And I think its a sensible decision for our family.
Thinking of going to TAFE or Uni to start my nursing studies. Can always take bub along with me after s/he is born. Stressing trying to figure out if theyll take me or not with my 6yr old HSC quals.
You should be able to get in as a mature age student I reckon Anna. My sis did and she's a year younger than you.
Jodi, I know what you mean about it not even occuring to you to ask for drugs, both of mine were like that, my hormones just worked so well with Riv, I was in this 'zone' where I was so focussed and dealing with the pain really well. I think with Si, if I'd made it to the hospital I'd have BEGGED, but the pain was only so intense because I was doing all my dilating in 40mins or so! Ouch! :P
How's J's recovery going Meg? Lol at him being mad at his teddy.
Soo jealous of you Q'land girls' heat! It's pretty darned cold here in Melb! Brrrr...
Thanks hun.
