New thread..

Im feeling so crappy today.. the weather is bringing back alot of memories of this time last year. Its raining here. Last year about this time, on the Saturday, in 20 minutes from now i started getting contractions. Even though the labour was absolute torture, i sometimes wish i could go back and relive the whole past year again. I love seeing Jesse get older, but wish he was still that little baby..
DH is at work, his new job. First weekend ill be without him. So thats a downer too.
Anyways.. perhaps i should eat something..

[~Flossie~]

Kell, are you ok.. its am emotional journey watching your child grow.. If only we could stop time just for a little while.

[ShootingStar]

Thanks Annie, yeh ill be ok. Just wish he was still a little baby. Though he will always be my baby just sad that he has to get so big so quickly and i think just remember this time last year it was a wet and cold day is where it all started.
Thank you for your concern. Think i just need to keep my mind occupied.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUBY!!!

Kell- I'm starting to feel bit funny too and I know I will when it cones to Ashleigh's birthday. The year has just flown way too fast. Made me realise that I shouldn't have stressed bout all the little things.

HelenP- Love the house, such great veiws from backyard and houses are alot more affordable over there.

Nelle- We drove near you today! If I knew earlier I could've arranged to pop in. We had to go see some couches in Croydon and I said to matt you were out that way. Its so far out!

Gorgeous day here today.

[Nelle]

You crazy crazy lady Shell! That's really close! Pfft, it's not that far out mate. I love that city people think we live in the sticks, and country people think we live in the city. You're such a naughty girl, next time, you give me a call and we'll meet for coffee! Where are there couches in Croydon? Please don't tell me you were looking more in Kilsyth on Canterbury rd, cos that's painfully close.

[lilima]

Just popping in to say hi. BBL mum is here

[shellbell3]

Nelle- Was some guys house on Maroondah Hwy just past McDonalds. You are out in the sticks! It took us 2.5hr trip there and back. Next time def coffee, it was only when I was looking at Melways I saw your suburb.

Ness- Have you decided bout going on it or you gonna weigh everything up for a few days. Guess there are pro's and cons on both sides and you gotta think of your health.

[Nelle]

Lol Shell, I definitely don't want to live any closer to the city! I like it being just under the mountain.

Ness, I just beat your Blackjack score, sorry, oh...aw crap, someone beat it off me already Why can't I be SUPER good at one game? Then my life would be complete. Til someone beat my highscore.

[~Flossie~]

Nelle - i am just hoping to get on the top 3 of 1 Game!

[lilima]

Hi Kell - I know what you mean. THey are so big now. Especially when you see another new born. I keep saying to TIm that I am still going to be kissing James goodbye , and telling him he is my beautiful little boy when he is 30!!! Gee you had a long labour! Mine was 5.5 hours!

Nelle - I went to school in RIngwood East, and when I started seeing Tim, he lived in hoppers crossing, and kept saying Mitcham was the sticks, and Ringwood was even more so! I think of Healsville as the sticks!!!

Ness - I think three days in hosp afterward would do you good anyway. I think people are pushed from hospital too early as it is.

Bath time here so better go

[shellbell3]

Meg- How did you and Tim meet? I'm just thinking that Hoppers and Mitchim are miles from each other.

I got pizza hut for dinner tonight, haven't had in ages then I realise why, paid just under $20 for it and there supposed large pizzas are more like medium, I've already had 5 pieces and will prolly eat another soon.

[lilima]

Shell - we worked together in recreation assisting people with Huntingtons Disease. He was my boss!!! It was sort of in the city area so that is how we met.

I know what you mean about bought pizza. that's why I tend to make my own. But alway good to have a night of cooking, expecially coz you have prolly packed half your kitchen by now. I didnt bother with dinner. (naughty me) but Tim has gone out for the evening for a poker nite with mates, then he is off to the North/Geelong game tomorrow so won't see him till some time tomor evening.

Mum and I went up mount macedon this arvo to see the big cross. We had a huge late lunch is this stunning little cafe.
James slept a total of 20 mins all day, so I am betting that I am in for a rough night. I am in bed already on the laptop. As Tim is not home, if he wakes I am going to put him in with me. We can cuddle together.

Was just chatting to my SIL who is living in London. She has web cam. It was so great to see her. They just got the web cam, so it is the first time I have seen her in months. I had a little teary afterward.

[Nelle]

Well that's what you get for living near the city Shell. Pizza's cheap out here, there's heaps of good local places.

What's the big cross Meg?

[lilima]

It is this huge memorial cross that was put on the top of Mt Macedon in the 30's to honour the people who fought in WWI. Then it was severly burnt by the Ash Wednesday fires in the 80's and was condemned and fenced off. In the late 90's the Grollo family donated and re built it. You can actually see it way up on the mountain from my house. It has the most amazing view way across to Melbourne from the cross ath the top. Sort of like Sky High on the Dandenongs.

Ive just been at the hospital, this time for Jett. He's been sick for a few days with a runny nose but now he's coughing and got a fever. Turns out he has pharangitis and a double ear infection which is causing his chest to gunk up. Just have to wait it out and do the best we can with nurophen and a vapouriser.

So I had to call Ryans boss and ask for them to bring him home. He just rang me to see what the problem was (Ry that is) and I told him. So he's going to discuss it with his boss and hope they decide to send him home. I feel so bad doing it but Im supposed to be resting which is nigh impossible with a sick baby.

I think Im getting sick myself, my nose is running and my throat hurts. I feel so crap and apparently I look horrible according to my friends. My back hurts, my belly hurts and downstairs is falling apart again. I went to do a #2 before and thought I was going to crap out my intestines or something. Ive been going everyday and taking metamucil to keep regular as constipation can aggravate a prolapse but its not working, Im still having issues with it because I think there is something prolapsing inside thats interferring with my bowel movements.

I just cant catch a break

Please cross your fingers they bring Ry home.

Im off to try and get atleast a couple of hours sleep before the next round of screaming and medication-time.

[~Flossie~]

Oh AnnaT, i hope that they send Ry home.. and that Jett gets better soon.. you realy are coping at the momont.. bigs hugs for you.. hope that you get some sleep tonight..
