Babies Born ~ September 2007 #72

[AnyDream]

LIKE. I nearly sent her a good luck message this morning. Felt it in me waters.

Well I felt something in me waters, anyway

[Artechim]

It was a beautiful yellow full moonrise tonight. I hope baby is on the way and everything is going well.

First actual enjoyable warm day today, rummaged though all my old summer clothes and I can't find much that fits! It all falls down

OMG I have just realised that this will be my first summer in 6 years where I am not pregnant or have a new baby! Totally excited now!!

[Cassius2]

hahaha, nah, still here....in one piece

that said, my hips are soooo frikking sore that i reckon the only thing holding them up is my skin. the ligaments etc are MIA. and now i have painful calf muscles...like seriously wtf is up with that??!!! it's not like i have run a marathon in the last couple of days

[Trillian]

They would be compensating for everything else Cass. Sounds very uncomfortable though but it's not much longer now. I don't think you'll still be pg by Christmas

Arte, I celebrated that a little too LOL. This is the longest period that I haven't been pg and it's fantastic! Mind you, I wish my summer clothes were falling off me

MD, work out what it was in your waters?

Filling in all the forms for L's school enrollment and double checking everything is signed where it should be. So many forms to fill in! And we got a list of everything he needs to take with him and OMG my brain blew a fuse and blacked out I'm really hoping that he can keep most of it over there and not bring it all home every weekend. They need 2 king single sheet sets, a doona and cover, a pillow and 4 towels - that's not going to come home every week is it? I expected the uniform list to be huge, but there is twice that again in other stuff.

[Cassius2]

Trill: nah, usually they keep all their 'house' stuff in the dorm. they are given their own wardrobes etc (well, this is going from my cousin that moved to brissy to go to boarding school...he would come out each weekend and stay with us with just an overnight bag...he definitely kept his pet fish at school at his dorm desk lol).

MD: maybe your waters are psychic?? please? can it be today that i have a baby...please? lol. i am bad. i never knew that i would reach a point of being so ready to have a baby...never happened before lol.

AFM: Miss L has her second orientation day today she is busting my guts about it and it doesnt start until 1.30pm...going to be a loooonnngggg day lol. then we have the neighbourhood trick or treat thang happening between 6pm and 8pm. i was hoping to go into labour around then and REALLY freak the kids out BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Cally]

We had our parent info night last night. All looks lovely, at this stage there are 2 classes of 20, with a few out of area kids on a waiting list. They might do a K/1 class if they get a few more. Only fly in the ointment was on Day 2 and 3 of Term 1 they do their Best Start assessment (NSW thing) and the kids only come in for 30 minutes on one of the days! So I've booked my mum in for 2 days of babysitting. Kind of weird starting, then being home again for 4 days. Orientation starts in a fortnight. Got the after school care forms too. Loving the $17 a day for that (incl afternoon tea) compared to day care costs.

Trill - the school won't have any need for the bed on the weekends, they wouldn't expect it all to come home. King single - must be lots of long legs! And 4 towels - they'll be super clean!

Arte - awesome news on the clothes falling down! Enjoy this summer not being pregnant/with small baby. And you and DH BE CAREFUL in December!! (Unless you want 4 little bundles of joy/sleeplessness.......)

[Cassius2]

And you and DH BE CAREFUL in December!! (Unless you want 4 little bundles of joy/sleeplessness.......)

It would be quite the achievement though lol! I am jealous that Arte got the september hat trick lol.

[Artechim]

LOL, all taken care of- officially No Sex December at our place

Cass, I thought your third would be next September, but I guess your sneaky there had other ideas. She did give it a good try though!

Did I reply about the soldiers? I think they run in tight black tee shirts, but I am not sure if that is true or if I have just tweaked the memory lol

[Cassius2]

Yeah, I have to say that when i went into the preterm labour this time I too really thought: 'well of course...i only make september babies afterall' lol. thankfully though she decided to cook a bit longer...i told her that if she came out when we wanted to back then that she would have to be born in that fluro-lit narrow bed and be man-handled by a million people. maybe i scared her too much and now she wont wanna come out lol?!

Cally: those sound like nice small classes and not too many preps overall at all! that has to be beneficial to learning and making friends for all of them! DH has been the one going to the info sessions (on at the same time as orientation) and he is loving the vibe in general. such a relief, because you never really know when it is your first time as the parent sending them there IYKWIM. and totally agree about the small cost of after school care! and the no wait list!!

AFM: took the girls trick or treating (part of neighbourhood planned activity) and it was awesome fun but i think i overdid it and have pulled my poor stomach muscles everything feels so bruised and tight...waahhhh! i am seriously thinking of investing in those SRC recovery shorts. are they for muscle support? or are they only for weight loss? cause if it is the latter i dont really care, but do want something to help with my poor muscles.

[Cally]

There are only about 300 at the school total - the principal made a big point of not wanting to get too big and keeping a community feel which is good. Feeling so excited about it all now.

[Artechim]

Cass, I thought I might be having a sympathetic labour but you are still posting here so I suspect it is just a raging UTI. So sore! And perfect timing too - my exam is tomorrow!

[AnyDream]

Cass I think you just need to slow down a bit and get some rest. Xxx

Cally, our orientation visits are in a couple of weeks too. Need to start getting organized and make a list... Paperwork... Uniforms... Labels... Library bag. Etc

Well I'm sitting here in my Jammies waiting for the sleep technician to come in and connect me up to the mainframe. Lol. Could be a long night.

[AnyDream]

PS. No I haven't worked out what it was in me waters. Maybe it was just the vibrations from the bus I was on at the time. Lol

are you at the sleep clinic tonight??!! All the best MD, i hope you get some answers and strategies

[Ozstar]

Good luck at the sleep clinic MD.

Cass sounds like you need to put your feet up and take it easy.

I'm not sure when we have orientation, I think it's December. I think we have 3 classes of 20 for prep. We went and got uniforms and paid for the book list (I'm
Just buying it through the school) yesterday. L loves the uniform and wants to wear it already. He seen one of the classes come outside for something and he was so excited. He's very ready for school I think.

[Ginger]

best of luck md xox

had L's first transition at the primary school yesterday and he went really well. his school is lovely and he seemed to really enjoy it. he said to me after we left 'when i look at her, i just think she's so so gorgeous' about his spunky young teacher lol

So how did the sleep study go? I hope it's not too long before you get your results

It's so awesome that all our kids are loving school and can't wait to go. A has his first orientation day on Monday for a half day.

[AnyDream]

All these school visits = so exciting!!

AFM, sleep study was a bit of a disaster, got too much sunlight in my eyeballs driving over there so needless to say my delayed sleep phase will be apparent in the results. So i spent a couple of hours lying in the dark trying to will myself to sleep which is mot the norm for me at all (am usially out light a light). Then they wake you up at 6 am. Ugh. On the plus side there's a funny photo of me connected up to all the wires looking like I've just had a brain transplant. LOL
