Rainy, TELL US!!! I really want to know, remember that I am living through you with your pregnancy until I can have one of my own lol. Sorry to hear you and your DP have been fighting, when I was preg was about the only time we didn't fight LMAO. We very nearly broke up when we got back to NZ, all the stress was too much and we took it out on each other As for remembering birthdays, my mush brain can't handle that but I still have a list in my diary that I wrote down last year as everyone popped.
Ange, I spent a summer during my uni days working on an orchard in Cromwell just down the road from Wanaka and Queenstown. We used to go for a drive over there on our days off and go kayaking on the lake or Puzzleworld etc. Those were the days....
We just went for a bushwalk, W fell asleep in his carrier pack so DH decided to walk home. I think it is about 5km so I am not expecting them any time soon lol. We let William out for a little break at a picnic area and he picked a flower and then gave it to me, he is so cute.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NOAH AND WILLIAM!! i HOPE YOUR HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY.
Rainy I soooo wanna know the sex. Sorry to hear about you and DH fighting, hormones are a funny thing aren't they. Have you got a little belly yet? Like Arte I am living through you and Ange lol.
Noni so much going on in your life. Yay for planning a wedding and a party.
Arte I will have a look around and pm you some good courses. Everything is soooo much cheaper then when I bought it all 10 years ago I cant believe it.
Happy Birthday to Noah and William - hope you are both having lovely days.
Rainy - Sorry you and DH are fighting a bit. We do more when I am tired, I get more snappy. Would probably have had a big one this morning over her sleeping bag if we hadn't had people over! Can you sit down and have a chat later? And I want to know the sex.
Noni - Congratulations on planning your wedding. I'm sure it will be a lovely day.
Christening went well, she was ready to hop into the font, I think she wanted a bath! The house is a bit of a mess and I am pretty tired (she woke at 4:52 this morning and even though she went back to sleep after a feed for 1.25 hour, I didn't) so am glad the weekend is over. Although it does mean that my return to work day is looming closer (tuesday week)
Sorry i have been mia as well!!!
happy birthday to Noah and William!!!!
R: we had MASSIVE fights; mostly in the first tri, then we had a beauty just before our 1st ante natal class so was in the 3rd tri...the first ones were def me getting all insecure and narky. and in the 3rd it was DH. in retrospect i think he was a bit scared of going to the class, but we had this yucky fight IN PUBLIC!! and of course i was a blithering mess...
i soooooo wanna know!!!!
Noni: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! how exciting! i wish we had of waited a bit longer after L was born, just so we could have partied more! ohhh we need piccies of the dress!LOL
Cally: so glad the Christening went well! LOL about the water baby!
how many days are you going back to?
Arte: what a special flower that must have been!!!
AFM: well had a crappy day. DH is sick and likes to remind me ALL THE TIME. i mean, i was sick all last week and the sky didnt fall, so whats the frikken diff? at least he sleeps at night!
sorry vent over...
also went to baby bunting today. had to buy summer sleeping bag. and also L's trick of dropping the cot side is becoming perilous, so also checked out cots. am looking at simple, small ones that convert to beds...soooo, we both like the leander and the stokke. anyone got these??? and what do they reckon??? i think i'll ask in the nursery thread as well....hhhmmmmm
aaawww thanks for all your support guys. glad to hear i'm not the only crazy psycho preggo woman- i just seem to get a lot more upset and angry. prolly doesnt help that i haven't had a full nights sleep in almost 12 months- not even one night!
everything is working out much better today. dp just doesn't respond well to drama. trying to get sympathy or compassion out of him is like trying to get blood from a stone. i love his hard manlyness in someways, iykwim? but sometimes i hate it...
now.....about the sex....we need to have a consensus that you all want to know .....i think you should all start putting in your guesses now and i'll let you know whose closest
Happy birthday to WILL and NOAH ! I hope you've both had a wonderful day with your families!
Rainy, I soooo want to know as well. Like Arte, I'm living vicariously thru your PG, only it's not to tide me over, it's forever. We had a little 5 month old visiting today for Miss E's party, I held him and snuggled against his gorgeousness and felt this big 'AAAAAAH I'm never going to have this again moment'. So it's all up to you hun. PS you can tell us the sex but keep us guessing names if you like . BTW I'm totally with you about the whole preggy raging emotions thing. I think you're probably well justified but you feel the highs and lows so much more when you're preggy.
Noni - wow how exciting about your friend coming up and even more exciting that you are planning for your wedding!! I was cracking up when I read about A wedged in the telly cabinet. DD1 used to sit in her bookshelf reading books.
Arte - Oh I soooo love NZ! We spent time in Wanaka, Queenstown and I still have my Puzzleworld photos LOL. I'd love to take DD1 for a holiday around the place, I think she would really appreciate it at this age, and now we have our friends over there near Dunedin (which I also loooove) all the more reason.
Cally glad the christening went well. I'm feeling a bit weary now too.
Well E's party was a roaring success. We had a ducky birthday cake, little ducky pattycakes and ducky biscuits, and we decked the loungeroom out with millions of balloons in pretty colours. I had bubble blowers for all the kids and everyone had a ball, young to old! I taught my friends 2 yo to blow bubbles (classic moment!) and E followed him around like a friendly little shadow. I even remembered at the last moment that we should have champagne LOL and rang my friend to bring some. Not sure if I got a good photo of E's party outfit, she was dressed in yellow and white to reflect the general ducky theme LOL. I'm totally pooped now though.
Rainy- i am with you love. I get massively insucure and jelous when preg and i am NEVER normally like that. I think the first tri sux, as well as the out of control hormones making you feel tired and like rubbish you start putting on weight and it's hard to feel great about yourself.
DH and i had a huge fight on Sat morning too. Still only just talking to him! I know i am being rediculose at times but can't help it. I think the fact that i feel so crap and as a result there is not much action in the bedroom also makes me feel in secure and unloved.
We were at a girlfriends birthday yesterday and i was holding Lu, for one reason or another she decided to throw herself backwards suddenly. I was talking to someone and not really paying attention. Anyway i half caught her by the calves but she wacked her head on the coffee table and started screaming. She was ok but i felt terrible, and i felt like the whole room was thinking "OMG what a terrible mother" i was really embarresed.
As for remembering birthdays, my mush brain can't handle that but I still have a list in my diary that I wrote down last year as everyone popped.
.....i think you should all start putting in your guesses now and i'll let you know whose closest
