:redface: oh behave lady!!!!!!
Cant believe its here already...bit of a bitter sweet day...memories of last year but havent cried yet which is a plus :)
Jed took the boys out shopping on the weekend adn they picked their pressies to me. Nikolaus bought me a pandora charm with love hearts all over it cause he says thats how much he loves me....Wilhelm bought me a pandora ring :0 and in my favourite colour. I was very close to crying when I opened it cause its me all over. Vy bought me candles and Mateauz bought me a picutre keyring. My man bought me a beautiful statue of a mother holding her baby boy.
I am in awe of my beautiful family. They got me the most perfect things and made my day with lots of cuddles and kisses in bed. All 6 of us ina queensize bed..omg it was fun.
Hope everyone is having a fab day...I am and im not even going to let the workmen out the front of my house, who are pooring down hot tar which was stunk my house out effect me
mauws
Happy birthday Maz. I am glad that you family spoilt you rotten.
How did you cyclone girls fair up? I haven't had the news on at all, so don't know what the outcome was.
Shell - Do you think ash can show J how to eat veggies.
Took J to the doctors last night as his bowels still are not right aftaer all that gastro. Now i have to get a stool sample from him.
I am feeling like Crap. I now has signs of gastro again. severe stomach cramping, and i can't venture too far from the loo.
Oh and i lost some of my mucous plug 2 days ago. I am hoping this bub stays put for at least 2 more weeks though. That would make me 36 weeks. Will speak to the obs about it today.
Happy Birthday Maz!!!
Meg- wow you might go and have bubs before I do! You sure the cramping isn't labour related?
I feel like crap still. Ash has ear infection so that prolly explains why she was waking 2-3 times a night crying. I ache all over and have a killer sore thraot, so sleep deprived cause of all that and just being so far along in the pregnancy adds to the exhaustion. At least when you're preg with #1 you can rest all day, not now. I struggle thru each day and it really is a huge struggle.
Maz - huge happy birthday to you, what a beautiful family you have, great you are having such a lovely day!
Shell & Meg - you poor things, it is so hard isn't it being pregnant and running around after a little one, I really sympathise with you!! Meg, you sound like things are just around the corner, sometimes you get diarahear (sp) etc just before you go into labour as your body is cleaning itself out....:) hugs
Not much else to report here, hope the girls in Qld are all okay.
okay better get back to life things :) Packed to the Rafters is back on tonight, hope I get to see it....
Laurin
I sure hope Jodi is ok but we are fine here for now, flooding rapidly but ok. We live just a little ways out of town on the Bruce Highway soooooo its a bit dicey as to whether we'll get cut off or not but I had to run into town for some groceries and one whole side of the highway is shutdown due to the water being mtr's about the road and its very near overtaking the only open side of the road :o Ry is on leave til further notice too. The biggest shopping centre we had is closed and the one I went to, had minimal parking because the whole undergound carpark was ceiling high with water. So crazy, Ive never seen anything like it!
rain rain go away come again another day :rolleyes: I'm so sick and tired of the rain! I bet you are too Anna. The roads are closed between Townsville and Cairns so the trucks can't get through. Not too many groceries left in the supermarket. I'll be going grocery shopping tomorrow, and I think it'll be my cheapest grocery bill yet.
Some of Heath's family live in Ingham where the floods are really bad. They're pretty much stuck inside their house for the moment.
Well I've had a really bad day and I have a shocking headache to go with it. I'm hoping some good news will come out of it all tomorrow morning.
I haven't organised anything for dinner either. I'm just not in the mood today.
Maz - hope you had a great day today.
meg - take care of yourself. Hopefully bub stays put for a few more weeks yet.
shell - it's hard work having a toddler and being pregnant isn't it. Not long for you to go. Have you got everything ready?
laurin - woohoo, I love Packed to the Rafters :D I'm hanging out for that and All Saints to start tonight.
Well we've had bad news about my FIL. Remember he was diagnosed with stomach cancer about 2 years ago now and was doing well over that time the chemo shrunk the tumors he was feeling good etc. Then they found new tumors which they treated and shrunk. Now they've found alot. Lately he'd had trouble eating and they put stents in to help the food get thru but when they were looking around in there there was just heaps of tumors. So now his options are forget all treatment and just live what time he has however long that is or have his stomach removed which won't cure but can prolong life but at same time its not much quality of life not being able to eat/ drink and have to feed via a tube. So big choice there to be made.
What saddens me most tho is how much Ash will miss him, cause she really adores him, as you know kids can't hide who they favour and he is right up there and he adores her just as much so makes me sad to think about when he is gone or when is gets to end stage it won't be the 'papa' she knows ifykwim.
Shell - I am sorry that your FIL has had such bad news. I hope that he makes the right decision for him.
Jodi - I hope tomorrow wil lbe a better day for you.
oh no shell, I am so sorry to hear that. I know what you mean, Nina absolutely adores my grandad, but he is slowly dying. He has miniture strokes multiple times a day and dr's have said one of these days it'll kill him.
Has he made a decision on what to do yet? It would be such a hard decision to make. :hug:
How are you feeling today Jodi?
I have to share this story -
Last night J was waving a flag around (my fault as I gave it to him) and he accidentally stabbed me in the nose with the stick. It really hurt and my eyes started watering. He put the flag down, came over to me, kissed me on the nose and then said to me "all better." Hmm... I wonder who he learnt that from? :)
Also what was really good was this morning he was screaming, and I gave him a stern look, and then he said to me "sorry mummy." So he is slowly, slowly learning.
Oh no Shell, Im sorry to hear about your FIL :( That is a mega tough decision to have to make.
Meg - we have a sorry-sayer here too :lol: He even says it when he hasnt done anything wrong and his brother starts crying, cause he's so used to having to apologise for being naughty ha.
Naww that's so cute Meg! What a sweetheart you have there.
Ohh Shell. :hug: That sounds so tough. How is Matt coping?
Hope you're feeling sunnier today Jodi!
Haha, that's cute Annat.
So how was Packed to the Rafters Laurin? :p How's Finn going?
Did the rest of your birthday go well Maz? Sounds like it had a super start!
Well, I got all excited the other day, because River did a SOLID poop for once. But they're slop again now, I think because I completely had a brain fart (I so have adopted that phrase Maz), and made pizza - with WHEAT and CHEESE, the two things, wheat and dairy, that I've been taking him off! :doh: So...back off those things and will see if we get another solid one...otherwise, I'm at a loss.
He's sporting a slight bruiser atm, no idea what he did, some sort of shoulda-been-sleeping-but-was-actually-playing injury. Rans sorted him out last night and it was only a small bump then.
Anyone else's kid driving them CRAZY with climbing? Food, knives, lightswitches... All I seem to be doing is saying 'get down please River'. At least he does what he's told. Oh! And pulling cords out of plugs! :o I get very cross with him about that. I've given up about the small square fan too - he's already half broken it anyway.
I probably had more to say (i usually do!) but I've forgotten it. :) Hope everyone's having a great day!
OH!! That's what I was going to tell you! I got up at 7:30 this morning! I've been so super lazy lately, so this is so cool. Rans brought me a coffee, and chatted with me while I drank some, which really helped me wake up. Hopefully he'll have time for that again tomorrow morning!
7:30am Nelle :o!! Does that mean you went to bed at a reasonable hour last night ?!?!
I love that little questionnaire you mods have done to get to know you guys. Very interesting.
meg - that is so cute! Nina did something similar last night. I was crying cause of the day I had, and Nina went and told Heath that mummy had sore eyes. aawwww. She then told Heath to kiss them better.
I'm having a better day today. Thanks to all the messages I got last night. I really appreciate it. I had a good cry, and a talk to Heath. He's such a good man, and so reassuring.
On slightly better news, but sad at the same time, I'm heading back to work as of Monday. It's not something that was initially planned, but it's something that we feel we need to do to keep us afloat during these difficult times. I got a job at the Centrelink Call Centre here. I'm very excited, but I'm going to miss the girls terribly. I know I'm doing the best thing for them at this stage, so I'm now at peace with my decision.
Nelle - J has problems in the poo dept too! I just had to collect a sample that is going to the path lab tody. (It is pretty gross as it is in a specimen jar in the fridge atm, all sealed in 3 layers) I have put him on a probiotic that seems to have helped. I took him to a naturopath. - How is Riv going with the talking?
Anna - that is pretty funny that he thinks he has to say sorry even when he has done nothing to his brother!
Jodi - I am sure that once you are back at work you will see that the girls are fine. I am glad you are feeling better today.
Laurin - I watched Packed to the Rafters last night. I love that show.
:hug: Jodi I hope things go smoothly for you. You'll make a grouse Clink gal. Nah, up late, but I can't keep sleeping in just cos I feel I haven't got a good night's sleep. And the earlier I rise, hopefully I'll start to need bed earlier too.
Ewwie at the poop Meg!
His talking is not great, but his comprehension is brilliant. So I'm not toooo worried. I have a friend who's a speech therapist, and she says there's not heaps they can do for him while he's so young.
We make slow progress though, he says ssss when he sees a pic of a snake, ooo at cows, yells Goooooooo when he's running or being naughty (dead giveaway, that), and today tried to copy me when I said Good Job. It was goo gob, but hey, better than nothing!
Just a quicky cause Wilhelm isnt good atm :(
Ive put up a meet up post for our group and made it the long weekend in June (9th) if anyone is interested. thought it might be nice to involve other BB girls expecially seeing that some of you are going to be flying interstate
OK back to being told he hates me and being kicked :(
Aww Maz :hug:
Will we have a small catch up, just Septy chicks, or is it all in?
Nelle - J says a lot, but a lot of it is very unclear. He would prob say "goo gob" too.
I am trying to teach him to say Emilia. So far he is calling the baby bump Mia instead. He gives it a kiss, then says bye bye baby Mia, and pulls my top back over it.
Maz - I just sent you a message on FB. I hope things improve soon.
thanks girls...he's being really hard and the techers at schoola rent making my life any easier....must note they are trying to back me but saying the wrong things...eg I said he cant take his DS lite to schoola dn the teacher and careeer said he could if I said yes...meaning for an autistic kids...YES so he's been physically hitting me and telling me he hates me :( ....I snapped and feel terrible :(
Nelle - I think us September girls will be together most of the weekend but have one night were we invite all BB girls so others can meet us all and vice versa and as for speaking...Vy stuffs upher p's and f's....and OMG she swears....:o have no idea were she gets that from
Well FIL is gonna have an op sat. Apparently they don't have to take his stomach but will make bypass from top of it to bottom so he can eat, build up strength to have further chemo. He looks so frail and moment and has lost alot weight.
Thanks for thoughts girls.
I'm sick now. Have tonsilitis and fever with it, plus all horrible pregnancy aches and pains, been crying at how crap I feel then feel guilty cause look at what FIL is going thru.
Maz- I hope you work things out with Wilhelm, do these episodes last long usually? Is it starting back at school with new teacher that could have started things?
jodi- Congrats on job! How many days will you work? Be hard at first but break from kids mighyt do you good.
Don't feel guilty Shell, your health is valid too mate. :hug:
And :hug: Maz I hope Wil turns a corner soon.
:o Jodi! I have been waiting to hear whether you got that job, and then I didn't put 2 and 2 together! Congrats! :p
I didn't even really think that we had muscles in our chest, you know in the flat part - I just thought it was bone or something - but no, it's muscle, and I know, because I think I've pulled a muscle there! Right in the middle of my chest. Done all my 'nope it's not a heart attack or lung issue' checks. And you know how I think I did it? Stirring! How bad is that, when I am getting cooking injuries?! :o
I must be so out of shape...
Pretty funny Nelle.
Shell - I wish FIL very well for the op. Not feeling well and being very preg is difficult. I too and just generally struggling now. I am just so tired, and to top it off, J has been a nighmore to get to bed lately, and crying when you put him to bed. I don't kn ow why as he used to go just fine. He is also crying in his sleep, so that is waking me.
Anyone else foun their 2yo challenging atm, or is it just that he knows that there is something different about me.
Gee I am hoping that he is not mega naughty once the baby arrives.
Nelle - Rest up with your cooking injury.
That's hillarious nelle!! What on earth were you stiring??
shell - like nelle said, your health is valid too. I know when there is something close to you suffering this sort of illness yours seem so pathetic, but it's not. It's important. You are carrying a very precious bundle in your tummy.
meg - I reckon it's a bit of both. Nina has been a little challengine lately as well. But I remember when I was almost due with Emily she was very challenging. J will be sensing things are changing. What worked best for us was for me to include Nina in EVERYTHING. I started this when I was pg with Emily. When I was feeding Emily, I would include her. She would sit next to us and I'd read her a book, or sometimes she'd just prefer to stair at Emily feeding and want to look at my boobs :rolleyes: And she'd help with burping too.
I've just worked up a sweat cleaning the house, so it's Red Rooster for lunch for me today :D
Thanks girls, I'm feeling alot better today thank god, had fever all night and I don't think bubs liked cause it'd kick alot more wildly when temp was right up.
Meg- Ash was crying in her sleep last week and it ended up she was unwell, had ear infection. Maybe he is teething or something causing him bit of pain?
Ash plays up a bit too at bedtime, as soon as we start getting ready she suddenly becomes manic, runnning around, will clamp her mouth shut when brushing teeth, start squealing etc and we have to try so hard to wind her down, read her books helps.
Nelle- pmsl at cooking injury! Don't exert yourself too much or who knows what damage you'll do!
J woke up last night crying out for Bob the Builder. This is his latests obsession. He carries a little Bob figurine around almost everywhere.
Doing awesome on the TT. Using the potty all the time as the toilet is right down the other end of the house. He even asks for his nappy off in the morning to go and do wees. I think the incentive of 4 mini M&M's each time has done the trick.
How is everyone? Hopefully all around but just lurking.
Hi everyone! ive been awol as i have had no computer.
Im very annoyed and still having probs chasing my old emails.
Im very ready to spit the dummy and throw the thing off the wall.
So will go and calm down. :)
woohoo on the tt Meg :clap: WTG J!
That's so cute he was calling out for Bob the Builder!
caddie - that sucks! Go and have a cuppa and a treat and calm down.
Very exciting news for us in Cairns, we have food on our supermarket shelves again! :dance: They shipped the trucks from Townsville to Cairns yesterday to load the supermarkets. It looked as though we were going to have to eat canned food for a while there :lol:
ETA:
with all this rain anna, we can't call you guys Brownsville anymore, lol! It's going to be nice and green in Townsville when the flood waters ease off.
Bummer about the comp Caddie.
Jodi I wish some of the rain would come this way. Gonna be in the 20's tomorrow.
Just took J to Macca for lunch - not good I know, but he had a reasonably healthy lunch. 3 nuggets, cup of milk and a bag of Apples. Me on the other hand had a Big Mac meal. I have already put 15kg on, and wonder why!!
Yeah send rain down here, so sick of looking at burnt and dying plants.
Caddie- You all unpacked properly and set up in new place? Hope you sort out computer, I'm lost without one!
Meg- Yay for J and the TT, thats fantastic, the mini mm's wouldn't work here cause I'd eat the whole pack before Ash got any.
We started back gymabroo today, Ash was so excited, and just not being there for 7 weeks I really notice difference in her development and how she is coming out of her shell.
Hi ladies!
Firstly...I miss my 'moods' and it looks like I might be tired for quite some time. lol Not to matter, Kelly does such a good job with this site!
Jodi - wel done on getting the job :clap:and I am sure everyone will get used to you working.
Nelle - I hadthe same thing yesterday...I did mine sneezing though and it felt like my chest blew apart. Forhrs afterwards, if I moved a certain way or picked Noah up, it felt like my sternum (sp) was going to split apart. Bit scary so yer, I know about the is it a heartattack thoughts! Hope you are better now.
Shell - to hear about your FIL, would be terribly hard to make a decision on what to do but it sounds like they have made a good one though. Onward and upward....
Maz - I have a question for you.....with your c-sections, what was your recovery like after your third and final ones? I have had two (not sure if anyone knewthat! lol) and am thinking about bubs number three....have been told because ofthe difficulties I have had already, another birth would be a c-section...which I am totally fine with...was very surprised at how fast the recovery was after Noah but wondered if it was like that for each one or just depended oneverything else at the time iykwim. Hope you an shed some light on it for me!
Hope Wils situation improves for you...you are an amazing lady...hope you know that!
Well my ladies, battery is almostflat. Geez this lappy is crap sometimes.:rolleyes: Off to turn off the darn cricket and find something more stimulating!!! Pfft
Take care ladies up North and stay cool for the rest of us...went outside about an hour ago and could smell smoke......

:wall:ummmmmm, where did my post go???????
Vix - my 3rd c/s was my best out of all 4. I had no pain nothing...the nurses couldnt believe it BUT my 4th was my worst. I had alot of internal pain and weeping from my scar for about 3 months after wards. Silly thing was..the doc's said that I could have had another as my body bounced back well but we said no more so had my tubes removed when I had Mateauz. I now have no feeling in my lower tummy and this disgusting flab that is lop sided hanging. I almost need to roll it up and stuff it into pants :( not a pretty look ona big chick
