I'm here, just watching BB the Shrek 2 so will post tomor!
Saints lost again, so I'm sad, plus I only got 2 tips this round, I'm so ****. 2 weeks ago I was 1 off the leader the last week and this week I've stuffed up so god knows where I am now.
I love raw cookie mix. When I was pregnant for some reason i craved chocolate icing!
I have an interesting story to share.
My hubby is a paramedic. last week he went out to an interesting job.
A lady called in as her 2 year old ran in while she was cooking dinner claiming "mummy I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy" and then she collapsed. Then she woke up and started vomiting uncontrollably.
Anyway it turns out that the little girl is a bit of a "terror" and she had been in the bathroom, and had drank most of a bottle of Listerine. (the really strong minty one) Listerine is really high in alcohol content, and the little girl was extremly drunk.
So a bit of advice, keep the Listerine out of reach!!
Nessa.. kick his ass! Grahame doesnt get much either.. i really should try.. poor man.
Jesse has a big scab on his head.. he was standing up at the toy box and fell down and scraped his forehead on the side on the way down. OUCH! I bled for a second but now is a lovely scab.. his first war wound.. poor bubba.
Ness- I always wonder how men can just sleep so easily thru babies crying. Df always is snoring his head up to while I'm up with Ash, don't know how they do it.
Kell- Poor Jesse, the injuries they do to themselves. Ash is always banging her head, I think sometimes its good we have carpet, softens the blow a bit.
Today is my first morning of waking without a sore throat! Yay, it was getting very annoying.
I just want to let you all know that I won’t be coming on BellyBelly any longer.
Heath and I are have a few issues going on at the moment and I’m finding it too hard to keep up on here. And when I do try and post, I keep missing people. Another issue is that someone I know IRL is reading my posts, which I’m very uncomfortable with. This person is no longer a friend of mine (hasn’t been for a while) but they keep checking up on me. With this going on, I don’t feel I can be myself. I wish I could come on here, be able to talk about our problems and get some feedback/support, but I don't feel I can with this happening.
I want to let each and every one of you know how special you are to me. You’ve all helped me in some way over the past 10 months with Nina, and I am truly grateful for that. I hope I’ve been the same help to you.
anna** / belle / rach – good luck with your TTC journey. I pray that you will be blessed with another baby soon.
maz / annat / ambz – enjoy your pregnancies!! Hope the m/s eases for you soon.
I’ll still be on msn and hope to keep in contact with you all, away from here though.
Ah cr@p - im sick of this. we have lost so many good friends in this thread cause of unnecesary $HIT!
Jodi - email me anytime matie...im friggen crying here
Kell - ive just read back and im sorry if Ive ignored you at all honey. I really havent ment to and I hope your ok. As for Nan's being pains..my hubby is the one that picks Vy up al the time here. I could mount his head mondays after he's back at work. Big hugs for ya
Chrissy - email and let me know what yourve got....I cant wait to find out
Maz sorry bout ya dad hop ehe is ont he road to recovery now
well thats about all from me, we are doing well but it looks like Jacks is now getting his molars top left and bottom right are very sharp if he's not getting them they are shifting round for sure, he is also sleeping heaps better now, going down the way he used too as well (sefl settling) also having 2 reasonable naps a day which is great, I am also putting him in his cot now for these rather than letting him drop off in lounge, so hope that helps
So sad Jodi, that someone is spying on you, really makes things hard for you that you cant post on here. I definantly look forward to catching up with you from time to time on msn though. I am the same as you, I just cant catch up a do personals for everyone, however I dont think (well I hope anyway) that anyone really has a problem with this as we are all pretty much the same. Howver there are a few ladies who do an absolutely great job of doing personals. Me however I am not one of them sorry.
I hope that in time you may be able to come back and post, but in the meantime, feel free to send as many emails with questions and letting us know how you are as you like, I will try to help out with anything if I can.
Would you look at that, I have blabbed so much, I just hope I have made the point that I am here for you if you need it and am sad to see you go from bellybelly.
Oh Maz-No teeth here either and I am so sick of the sleepless nights etc.
Hi Jodi,
I know that I am new to posting on this site (any site for that matter) but I just wanted to say "thanks" for your support and answering my posts in the short time that I have been here. I really have appreciated it. That goes for everyone else on this thread. I know I am the "newbie" but everyone has been awesome. It always makes it easier to hear others going through similar experiences to you.
Nessa - I bet you are looking forward to a nice new mattress. I am sure you will "sleep like a baby!!"
Nessa.. dont ever go GE credit.. i bought tyres once with them on 6 months interest free and they charged me interest.. when i called to tell them they said they couldnt give it to me for 2 months and the same would happen every month and i wouldnt get it for another 2 months each time.. so i ended up pay out and getting outta them and they never repaid me my interest the i paid them. Oh new matress will be nice!
Jodi.. sorry it has come to this for you.. make sure you look after yourself and pop in every now and then if you can.
Shell.. glad to hear the sore throat is gone.. i hate have one.. nothing worse.
Maz.. thanks hun..
Rach.. yay Jack on self settling and sleeping better.
No news with me..
PS.. Nelle.. how you doing hun?
