OH Anna honey - I know that this is gonna sound harsh...but better now then later knowing your medical background and condition. I wish I could still give you the biggest hug though.

**Freya** · October 3rd, 2007, 01:19 PM

Just a quick pop in -

Anna, Im sorry to hear that. I sending you big hugs, I understand how you feel

If you dont mind my asking, what is the chromosomal abnormality that you have that causes this? Ive had a few early m/c and it ended up being a corpus luteum deficiency, maybe you have something like that too?

Jodi, Jett is loving his big boy bed but for some reason he's decided 7:30am is a great time to get up now. Usually I can get him back to sleep but mostly I just give him a sippy of milk and have a shower. He plays with his toys while Im in there and then he gets out and has a shower. Its making me knackered though, Im used to sleeping til 9am. I think he does it just so he can have 2 naps in his bed during the day lol He just cant get enough. It still feels weird to see him all snuggled like a big person under his quilt and blankie.

Having a really bad day with the SPD, so much so Im considering begging to be induced at 37wks if Im favourable. Im so miserable, it hurts to do anything from my hips right down into my vajayjay. Im also itching worse than normal, Ive torn skin off my tummy, legs and back Ive scratched so much. Might get the GP to test for that OB Cholestasis thingy because it would explain the protein in my urine but no high BP and the sharp pains I get under my ribs.

Oh Nessa honey I am sorry that I didnt send Annika a card. Please forgive me

AnnaT - Ive got visions of Jett snug as a bug. I love it when they get into their beds....its then you realise that their not a baby any more

$hit I have to have the glucose test still

Ness,my apologies too.I started to send out one card for each baby but when ruby's bday came and i only got a card from you and kell i thought whats the point and decided to just post a happybday.
So sorry for not thinking of you and kell. And no offence to annie because it did arrive but when my kk didnt come for over a week i was dissapointed because i was prepared with mine.
So all off my chest too and im glad you spoke up.I am really apologetic especially when you have helped me personally about millana's rash.
ps: i actually just remembered that i had un sent cards in my old nappy bag too. Oh well.

**Helen** · October 3rd, 2007, 02:37 PM

Anna-Huge hugs hun hopefully things will settle down soon for you. Take car, ok..

Nessa-Ummmm dont know what to say really. I was extremely greatful that you chose to send Eithan a card for his birthday, this goes for Caddie too. But the thing is, I thanked you both and I can understand that you are just getting things off your chest but I wouldnt have thought that they were sent just to receive a card back, I thought it was just because you wanted to. Gosh I dont want to make a mountain out of a mole hill but I am a little upset that you are upset and I wish we could talk about it face to face as writing words down dont have the same affect. So please let me let you both know that this is by no means an unhappy post so please dont be offended by it. Really I couldnt afford to send cards to everyone, so I sent them to noone. Again, I was extremely touched and greatful that you would both think of my little man.

Love

Anna** · October 3rd, 2007, 02:49 PM

Thanks for the thoughts girls - I'm fine with it all, it's other **** getting me down right now.

Chrissy - Hope you are safe from that fire. Bloody arsonists!

AnnaT - I've got a balance translocation of chromosome 1 & 4. It was discovered during a karyotype blood test. I've got no other probs in regards to staying pregs, but any pregnancy with a chromosome imbalance will m/c. In honesty, I would not wish to be induced at 37 weeks, even with SPD - 37 weeks is almost prem... and could easily result in bub having a minor developmental delay (like Xander). Hang in there!

Nessa - I really appreciated the card you sent (and I did thank you). Whilst I can understand where you are coming from after all the effort you put into the cards... I I've always been one to give without expecting in return and I honestly thought the whole reason we were doing the KK thing was to avoid having to send out cards etc to everyone. Those that felt like sending out extras cards, pressies whatever did so. Not trying to be harsh or rude 'cos I really did appreciate the card - but I am the same at Xmas too, I don't rush out to buy a card if I receive one from someone as too me it just seems like you 'forgot' and only doing so 'cos they sent one. Mwah.

**Freya** · October 3rd, 2007, 03:43 PM

Anna - I think I would have buckleys of being induced before 38wks anyway as my OB only promised me that *if* I was favourable (which we know I will be) because J was born at 38wks with no issues. Just seems like so far away (deep down I know it isnt really, 13wks goes by fast!) and I struggle to think how I will manage with the SPD, swelling, even bigger tummy and a toddler to chase in another 6 or 7 weeks time. Im already huuuuuuuuuuuge. Ry doesnt even have holidays til 19th December so I'll only get a week or so rest and then its baby time. I guess I just feel a bit guilty on Jetts behalf. And I know the SPD wont fix itself until Ripley is born so until then I'll have to suck it up. I never went through this with Jett, I was very active up until the day he was born so Im struggling with having to avoid anything to strenuous.

Nessa - I appreciate the card you sent and I am sure I thanked you in this thread. I have to agree with Anna though, I didnt realise it was a "if you receive, reply in kind" type of card - I usually just send because I want to. I thought about it but Sept is a busy birthday month for us and we are strapped for cash so I decided not to. So we did the KK instead. Im sorry you are offended.

Sorry Im a bit whingy baby lately. I just feel so yuk all the time, I try not to post about it constantly because heck I get sick of hearing me sook

New belly pics in the gallery if anyone is interested (and a comparison of me now with Jett at 37wks, Im the same size

)

Pregnancy hormones Ness!

**Nelle** · October 3rd, 2007, 04:32 PM

Rans is reinstalling The Sims 2 on his computer for me...if you don't hear from me...hahaha...

Nah, I won't get too addicted.

Anna, all the best for a bfp really soon honey.

I sent you a card Ness!

And, technically, it does say with love from the other BB babies too. That's cheeky isn't it. I can understand why you were feeling the way you were, but people have different values you know? Some people are 'card' people, or letter writers, or phone call returners, or present buyers, and others aren't. It can get frustrating, one of my friends NEVER returns text messages, another never returns emails, another always forgets my birthday AND I just found out my best friend is in Asia (Asia! I ask you!) on holidays! We communicate that we care in different ways. I hope that you know we care about you!

River's trying to climb up to me on the couch...I could help him get up I suppose, but he's so cute falling down.

Man, I was so grumpy at Rans last night...he keeps forgetting I'm pregnant and then saying 'why do you sleep so much, why are you always tired, I work too you know?' To his credit, he did come sheepishly to me after and said sorry, he didn't take pregnancy into consideration. I tell you, if he lives past 25, it'll be cos he's made a few changes!

**caddie** · October 3rd, 2007, 05:05 PM

mmmm ok.

**Freya** · October 3rd, 2007, 05:08 PM

O.M.G I am dying. This SPD thing is ridiculous. I cant hardly walk. Ry has wandered off to boxing class when all I want to do is sit in a steaming hot bath (or saw my legs off). I dont know how Im going to cope for another 13wks with this, just my luck I'll end up in a wheelchair. Ry said "Well you should sit and read all day" - uh yeah nobjockey how am I to do that with chores, a toddler and errands to run? His answer is - put Jett in his room. OMG can I kill him????

Im stuck in a situation I cant fix. I have absolutely no support and its not like Ripley is almost due or that Ry can get holidays to help me

***Belle*** · October 3rd, 2007, 06:01 PM

Nessa - Hope you are feeling a bit better soon. Thank you for Julia's card, it was lovely. I agree with Nelle some people show their thanks and love in other ways, Im not a post person, I actually am scared of the post, DH opens it up for me and I have honestly only send 2 things by post this year as I get anxiety attacks when I send the post. I sent something to Maz last week as part of my group therapy challenge to see how I coped as a test. So I do apologise, I am a phone person definately

anything paperless thats me! Im here if you need to chat or need any support with your PND honey I know it must be tough doing it with no meds atm etc...

Anna**- thanks for the chat today, I hope you are ok matey. Im sorry about the Chemical pregnancy. I worry about you and your pains, and the anxiety. I hope they come back with some answers with the other blood tests..until then ..keep drinking the milo....and call me if you have anxiety issues and I will try my best to calm you like you have done for me many a time. Im always here for you, I wish I was in Perth, cause I would come and mind Xander with Julia and they could play together and we could sit and chat and relax, thanks for being a great friend.Thanks for your tip re the smelly shoes !!! Im so happy I got rid of them they were bad and to score a new pair of shoes for $25 was a bargain, such nice shop assistant to dispose of the smelly pair too! lol

Maz - MWAH as always! thanks for the cover!!! it will look super! Ohh forgot to mention today did you want the BF book? Cant wait to meet you when I see the IL's in Nov/Dec mate! Thanks for all your support today...as always your a legend! lalalalalala!

BBL for more personals girls Julia wants dinner.

Hugs to everyone

**maz** · October 3rd, 2007, 06:33 PM

I have furry teeth!

**Nelle** · October 3rd, 2007, 06:48 PM

Well then brush them for goodness sake Maz!

River and I are at the table, he's eating vegemite bread and I'm eating yogurt (ohhh mercy, he's struggling with the fullest mouth I've ever seen...pace yourself River, pace yourself!).

**caddie** · October 3rd, 2007, 06:51 PM

I do agree with you nelle,i also agree with ness. I didnt send cards in the hope of recieving a card from everyone back but i have known some of you here a very long time and just thought a card would have been nice. I noticed that some other BB memebers exchanged extra gifts with their close friends so whats a $1 card. Anyway got that off my chest. I am not angry at all and i do love coming on here but maybe thats what it is in the end.Just computer friends that i never see but enjoy chatting too. Thanks

***Belle*** · October 3rd, 2007, 07:00 PM

im sorry if my post upset anyone like i said i cannot send post at the moment due to my anxiety i am working on it. Caddie im so sorry I havent send you anything back , I really loved your book, and havent forgotten please dont think I have.

**Nelle** · October 3rd, 2007, 07:01 PM

Aww Cads, I bet if we all lived heaps closer we wouldn't be 'just computer friends'. And when someone wins the lotto or That's Life get sick of Maz hassling them, then we'll all meet up for sure! (Pmsl, now if anyone wins any money they'll be too scared to tell us cos we'll make them pay for a meetup!

)
