Hey Girls, I have been missing again ... sorry! Things just seem to be taking to much time these days and I also had a friend that found out last Wednesday at her 19 week scan that the baby had died. So bad week. She had him on Monday and the funeral was yesterday, so sad. She has two girls already and she is being as strong as she can. Just so tragic and makes me hug my little ones just the much harder!
Paycyn - welcome, I think you are in my TTC thread as well. So look forward to getting to know you more!
Celtic - I can't believe your boss, what an a'hole! I have always hated those people that make your feel guilty for staying home to look after your sick kids. At the end of the day, they all come first in our lives! I hope Ry gets better soon, great that his c x-ray was clear! I hope you are ok and escape whatever he has!
Trish - poor No 3, haha. It's just the way it goes, cause I know that Tay never got the same attention that Mia did, and not through choice, you are just so much busier! As for the nursery, how fun. I love setting it all up and washing all of the cute clothes!
Willow - did I read right that you are over 33 weeks? Well hon, you probably should not leave it that much longer?! How much more relaxed are you about 2nd and 3rd pregnancies though!
Amelia - you threw me with the name change! The baby furniture sounds great! x
Saffi - mother's group at your house, the dreaded! Noisy and messy, and if you are anything like me you have a big cleanup before people come and then the house is trashed after. Kids are such gromets!
Nickers - Tyron sounds like he was pushing your buttons with the texta, naughty monkey! I hope its all cleaned up well, last thing I am sure you felt like doing since you are still not 100%. I hope things get better for your soon.
Mo - how are you and the girls? How is your Mum, havent chatted to you for ages!
Julia - are you in Singapore at the moment?
Amber - love the new twilight trailer, I know I am going to be in love with Jacob by the end of New Moon. He is looking super hot with that short hair and buffed body. Mmm mmm!
to anyone I missed!
OH question, is anyone else having trouble with their little one's stripping off? Tay keeps taking her pants off, weird. Then as soon as we get her ready for the bath she wees on the ground, or when we get her out she wees, its really annoying!
nope no strippin goff here LOL but My neice has always been one to take her clothes off it drives my sisiter mad sometimes as she will come out in differnt clothes now she is older.
Paycyn - good ol Chch, I was there in April and the nights were bleeping freezing! As soon as the sun vanished (which it does pretty plucking early!) it was so chilly! I think I was permenantly attached to the inlaws heater hehe. Ty for the well wishes, what sucks is that it is a woman with 2 kids under 5, but because she is the big boss if they get sick she takes them to work I'm not allowed to take Ry to work.
Re the email - very funny! Although I think I've skipped straight to the maternity clothes after number 1 lmao
Kazaraz- big comfort hugs to you and your friend, that's awful 19 weeks poor darling, give her a biiig cuddle from me. Poor thing...
Yep boss was a female puppy, so annoying and she has little kids! Best of luck on the TTC *sticky fertility vibes*
To everyone else- hope you and kidlets are well, sleeping properly, not suffering teething and are piggy flu and snuffle free!
I'm off to have a goddess massage tomorrow for a 2 year late bday pressie (never got around to using the voucher) and my dad has offered to babysit *shock horror* I'll have triple 0 ready to dial... lol
Visiting sickly grandparents will be fun travelling with a sickly child *twitch* so much for a relaxing weekend!
Karen - I've seen that email before and it still makes me laugh. Kaz - what a terrible thing for your friend to go through.
L doesn't know how to take his clothes off (or put them on) yet. Do you think Tay might be ready for TT?
We have a saying in my MG "clean up after everyone leaves not before" but of course I did both LOL. I'd packed away all the toys not to have L pulled them all out after his sleep. ARGH! Celtic - enjoy the massage. I thought I was slack using vouchers but never waited 2 years!
Off to the movies with a girlfriend tomorrow. DH will be looking after L all afternoon. Will be good for them both.
Apart from that weeknd will be packing boxes and getting ready for the move. What fun!
Well we went for a different package which i love alot more. But we have to wait for 8 weeks for it to come in!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....I wanted to put it all together and stop looking into an empty room!! O well.
I had my GTT test this morning, had to go for it early cause of the GD from my last pregnancy. Feel very ill now from it too.
Hi girls, I have been holding out on you all and wanted to let you know that I got a on Wednesday. I am not just yet, as I have had bloodtests today just to make sure everything is ok. I know I am probably paranoid, but after my miscarriage in December it's hard to get to excited this early! I have done 4 poas so far, and all doing what they are meant to and getting darker. I think I poas last weekend and I was neg, but I knew it was 2 early. When I was still feeling sick on Wednesday and it was 6 days from my expected AF, I thought what the hell and yeah ... there was a second line. Seen the doctor yesterday and she arranged for me to have all of the early pregnancy bloodtests so we will see if my hcg level is doing the right thing!
I didn't want to jinx myself by telling people early again and I am also trying not to tell family / friends just yet. I know people on here and facebook, so if we are friends on there, could I just ask for you to keep it quiet for now please, as I have family that use facebook!
So, after 6 months of trying for this little one and I am that this time we get our happy ending!
Yay kaz!!!!!! Congrats hun!!! Lots of sticky vibes for you....
In regards to your qu about the bubs stripping off, in the last month, I have lost 2 pairs of socks in the shops... she will not keep them on! All other clothes generally stay put though!
Welcome paycyn! My little ones name is Tahlia and she is one of the youngest in here, born on the 31st
Nickers - hope your feeling better! how did your specialist appt go?
Cant remember what else I read.... but hope everyone is well!!! and have a great long weekend!
As I said in the TTC thread congratulations Kaz loads of sticky vibes heading your way.
Kaleb is getting cabin fever today I caught him outside in his pj's this morning LOL luckily the frost had gone already but when I bought him in to get him dressed he threw the biggest wobbly and as soon as he was dressed he was straight back outside. The sun is shining here today as well so a great day for them. My DS age 3 is sick with a cold so he is on the couch watching a DVD.
How much more relaxed are you about 2nd and 3rd pregnancies though!
to anyone I missed!
