Alison - What's going on with the BB notifications do you think? I wonder if they know about it. It's such a pain to have to keep checking. Boo to the pap smear tomorrow. I hate them. I had to have an internal yesterday at the OB and it was awful. I never had one during my last pregnancy. It will be interesting to see how much of the clairvoyant's predictions come to pass...
Beany - Your SIL sounds like she's not really with the program if you know what I mean?? It must drive you all crazy with frustration. Especially when she's in the ideal position to help.
Lani - Thinking of you. You must be so mad to have been dragged into such a mess. I hope Paul cleans it up very soon!!!
BS - Have you thought about what sort of help you'll get leading up to and after the baby? Are you going to keep sending Eva to daycare full time? And are you going to get any extra house help? I don't have the support of my mum or my MIL so I'm trying to work out what to do. I'm not sure whether to try and put Matilda into daycare for a couple of days a week or get someone to come to the house who can help with both babies and the housework as well. Or a combination...This is going to be such an expensive year! Baby doctor bills, new car, overseas trip (that DH has to take - long story). Argh!
Hi Beany - a good clairvoyant shouldn't and wouldn't tell you bad things so no she doesn't. I can FB message you her details if you like? It's really interesting and as long as you don't take it too much to heart it's a bit of fun, you can always change your life path no matter what so nothing's set in concrete. Sorry to hear about your MIL having to go back into hospital, I didn't realise her time was even shorter, wishing her a peaceful time at least, if that makes sense.
Hi Tilda - how come you had to have an internal already? I had 2 with Amelia but the first one was at the dating scan and they did an internal as they couldn't get a good enough view externally and the other was at the end of the pregnancy to see where she was sitting. Is it weird being pregnant with a baby so to speak? I often think about it and it just seems strange to have a bub and be pregnant again lol....guess I'd better get used to it if I'm thinking of trying again in a few months.
Well I'm glad to get today over with, I got in early and finished late and am absolutely shattered, what a day! Why do people insist on giving you something to do half an hour before you leave that is a good 1/1.5 hour job! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Tilda - I think its good that you are thinking of support for when you have the new baby. It will be money well spent I"m sure.
Alison - mmmmm....ok! Why not! If you could send me her details when you have a minute, that would be great. Eeek! I've never done anything like this before! Boo for getting in early and leaving late. I hate it when that happens, its even worse now we have little people to be home for!
AFM - since I last wrote MIL was admitted to hospital, they told us she has pneumonia. Her leukaemic cells are multiplying at a ridiculous rate. So they are torn between giving her antibiotics to get rid of the pneumonia, or give her chemo to help the leukaemia. For the moment she is getting mild chemo orally, just to try and kill off some of the leukaemic cells, and antibiotics. The next few days will be quite risky. Hopefully she pulls through it She's in so much pain, and she's really not having any moments of clarity (I went to see her this arvy), she's not making a lot of sense. Oh its so sad
Beany - I'm so sorry to hear that things have taken a turn for the worse with your MIL. I really hope they can at the very least control her pain so she is in a bit more peace. I hope the next few days aren't too harrowing for you. Let us know how you're going.
Alison - Yeah, I was a bit shocked about the internal. I think he might be a bit old-fashioned. But apparently he's a great "stitcher" when it comes to CS and given I'm probably having a CS I wanted a really good surgeon. It has been really weird being pregnant while I"m still BF another baby. It's hard to make room in your head for another one already!! But I'm just starting to feel the first flutters of excitement. It's just taking a bit longer this time because I know what I'm in for LOL. DH was saying a little while ago how excited he was and all I could say was "yeah, I can't wait for cracked nipples and sleepless nights, not to mention major abdominal surgery!".
Hi everyone else!
AFUS - I still haven't dropped another feed. I'm starting to feel sad about weaning which has surprised me. I didn't think it would bother me. And sorry to be graphic but we're gettting really yukky pasty nappies again. I'm wondering if it's eggs. Does anyone else have a similar issue?
Hi Beany - I'm so sorry about MIL, keep me posted with how she's doing, I hope she pulls through xx Off for my pap smear this morning, that is if AF doesn't hit me first, I just realised I'm due and I've woken with cramps, that would be right, I just want it over with now so I don't want to have to postpone last minute!
Hi Tilda - you didn't have a c/s with Matilda did you or did I just forget? I can't remember how bad is that! Even if you did would you not consider a VBAC? I'm hoping I can next time, I'd really like to avoid the c/s if I can but depends, I will do whatever is safest for the baby at the time.
beany - I'm so sorry that your MIL's health is declining I hate cancer so, so much. It's so horrible watching people struggle with it. And poor Michael! Hope he's feeling better.
beany and Alison - we have to catch up soon! Maybe when the weather cools down a little we can meet up at a park or something?
Tilda - are you planning on trying to feed Tilda through the pregnancy or are you trying to wean her completely? I think you probably mentioned on the last thread, but my memory is shot right now.
Alison - I'd be interested in that clairvoyant's details if you want to message me on FB.
Thank you again for all of your comments and well wishes - it really means a lot. Things are getting easier, though it's never going to be "okay". But Dad got to have a last Xmas with everyone and he got to die at home and on his own terms. I just mostly feel for Liam and his cousin, since they're never going to get to know their amazing grandfather. And Liam's cousin actually has no living grandfathers at all now, since my SIL's father passed away some years back
Things seem to be improving slightly with Liam's sleep. He's settling down a bit easier, and has been napping easier, too. He's been back to two naps yesterday and today, too, so maybe he still needs that morning nap. Like Alison said earlier in the thread, it's just easier to go with the flow with things right now.
He's definitely getting more mobile now, and is happier for it. He's walking more and more and has gone back to being happier to play independently more now, which is awesome. I love playing with him, but I do need to do things occasionally!
Hi Rose - I'm glad at least your dad got to pass on his own terms and home too, if there's any consolation to the whole thing that would be it. It is sad for Liam etc., my grandfather on my mum's side died before I was even born and my dad's dad died when I was 6 so I don't really remember much about having a grandfather myself. He will be watching over them though and they'll meet one day. xx Meeting at a park sounds nice, isn't there one at the end of your street? I will FB you the clairvoyants details now Are you noticing with Liam walking he's sleeping better at night? Since walking Amelia has been doing 7-7 (sometimes a little later) without so much as a sound, I hope she keeps that up! She is on the go ALL day though and working from home is getting harder and harder! ha ha
Hey BS - did you see my latest pics on FB? Recognise the Hello Kitty top Amelia's wearing? hee hee Hope your bubba's are doing well. xx
