Hi All,
Kris - If anyone can handle another one it would be you hon! Sorry Louis has the sniffles but all the boys sound like they are doing well and you are getting a bit more rest at night time, prob why you are clucky again, you cant remember a "no baby wake up" sleep! LOL!
Mel- So glad the dive and your day went really well, you are a really good secret keeper, I am rubbish at it and would have told DH the hour after I booked it! Too cute with Olivia stripping off all the time, how hilarious! She must'nt feel the cold
Me- I am having a really down day today, Beau has been such a whinger this week and we went on the bus to the shops to get a few things (which I do every few days) and there is an old man there at the bus stop sometimes and he said to me "You do the same thing every day" and I said "Every few days!" and turned around and burst into tears. I think it struck a chord with me. I feel like I had this really great interesting job and lived in a fast paced area in the city and now we moved here and all I do is keep a kid happy all day....and the area is pretty grotty really and I feel a bit like I rushed into the decision to move because we would be near the water, but you cant be in the water all day IYKWIM? And financially, "I" dont feel any better off, I still never have any cash to buy anytihng and scrape together coins for a coffee which I did in the city! Oh sorry for the rant, just having a waffle! Best go before I jibber on anymore, girls from playgroup coming round here tomorrow so I have house work to do.

Jen - Sorry to hear your feeling a bit down...Remember you've got lots of hormones floating around at the moment so probably aren't feeling your normal self either... I know it doesn't feel like your doing much but really you're doing the most important job on earth! Remember it's all only temporary...in the blink of an eye the kids will be a bit older and you'll have a chance to go and do something for yourself career wise...? Hope you pick up soon - I'm sure you will!!!
I think you're right Jen - things are starting to settle down with Ethan and he's sleeping better and I'm someone that usually then has to find something to "stress" me out again...LOL! I just have to learn to relax and that it's actually ok to have things under control - LOL!!!
I'll get over it...I think there are so many things I've put off until "after kids" and now I'm at that point I have to start getting my stuff together! Will just be a bit of a process I think!
I must say it doesn't help being in the middle of winter - I'm so not a winter person - bring on summer I say!!
KRIS!!!!!!!!!!!! Woah! I am in shock too! Didnt you just get AF after your pap smear? How do you feel about it? Makes your post about needing "the next thing" a little freaky huh?
Had a big chat with my mum this morning so feeling a bit better now...LOL!
Yep - got af but when I looked back it was quite early so am thinking it was just implantation - went for 4 days though!! and never had it with my other p/g's...
I know - I've been assessing everything so much this month and thinking things over way too much - I think it was probaby all my hormones going haywire!!!!!!
I must say I did have a dream before what I thought was af came along that I looked at a postive test...all very strange really...
I'm ok...just really need dh to get home from work so we can have a big chat and suss things out...I've got a few plans in place so that hopefully I'll cope well - one of them being that I probably won't bf as long or at least express and have him used to the bottle so mum can help out and actually babysit for me!!! I guess it's done now so I'll have to cope!! LOL!
The only other stressful thing really is that we'll need a new car...can't really afford one - we've just got rid of all of our debt so we don't want a loan - we will just have to scrape some money together and buy the best we can that will fit us all!! (I so don't want a van though - LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Glad to hear you are absorbing it all -sounds like a good plan to use bottles, look, if anyone can do it, you can Kris. you are an amazing mum and what a lucky child to have you.
Let us know how your chat with DH goes.
OMG OMG...I am in shock...well congrats. You know what, I have only known you through this forum for 2 years and a bit and I have met you a few times. I know that you will be just fine. Things will work out with $$ and you will cope because already you are coping well. If you need anything...I'm not far away...oh just a little enveous (I cant ever spell this word...just doesnt look right!) Ok I am so excited for you.....
So Mel.....did you get AF? you were wondering if you were utd?!
Jen- have you got your results back????
Kaz- hows ttc? lots of fun?
Kel- hope youre getting some sleep and Liam is better now. Hows things with your dh?
Us- we are going ok. Finacially its tough time of the year with tax, so hopefully things will be ok soon. The girls are great. Olivia has been sleeping through most nights and on the odd occassion she will go to sleep on her own. Bec still has late nights and am having trouble getting her to have good day sleeps. Shes almost there with crawling. Almost.
Me- I still have some weight to loose but am feeling no where as frumpy as a month ago. I still have 9 kgs, but really if I can loose another 5 only I would be stoked.
Talk hasn't gone so well...dh is really upset...has asked me to do the unthinkable...which isn't going to happen...I've told him we'll get through it, we'll just need a bit more support...I think he just needs some time for it all to sink in...
I've also made a big promise to him and made him promise back that this won't break us...
It's a bit hard - he didn't even want 3 - that was for me and now we've a 4th on the way!!
Thank you for all your kind words - I think we'll be ok as well...just need to keep the lines of communication open...dh probably needs to go out now and get drunk - I might send him out on the weekend to his brothers for a big night...LOL!
Mel - Yeah, I think the money thing will work out - we'll get a little extra family assist which will cover the babies needs - I think I'll need to win tattslotto by the time they're all in school though - LOL!
Glad to hear the girls are well...I think you've done such an amazing job losing weight - keep it up!!
Ok...better go - Ethans crying in the other room...
