Hi girls, just a quick one to keep the thread up the top...
Been feeling off the past couple of days. Indigestion is back after I had that sundae at the movies! You'd think it wouldn't be able to last two days straight, but it has!
Ben has been asking how the baby will come out and how it got in there. Geez! I thought I'd have a few years before I got those sort of questions! Age appropriate, truthful answers seem to have satisfied him for now but I don't think it's over....
Mel, the dress looked great!
Okay, gotta dash, DH is at the footy and I have the two monsters on my own again....
I'm around, just trying not to be online too much, lol. I find that I get really grumpy if I'm on the net too much, not to mention my house ends up like a bomb site and the kids feral, well, more feral than usual! Plus the net has been down for a few days for some reason...
Well, we are all good, though ask me in a few days time and I will probably be going bananas. Damien is going to goulburn for training for four days tomorrow. SOOO not looking forward to it. I'm not handling being on my onw well lately, and especially at night. I think it's just that I don't have a safety net of friends or family around and I'm so scared if something goes wrong. I'm up **** creek if it did...but aaannnyway! I'm trying to be positive about it. I know it's likely it will all be ok, but hey, I'm pregnant and have a vivid imagination, lol!
Pregnancy is going well. I think I am feeling baby move already, or it could just be my vivid imagination, lol! But I'm no longer sick or really tired, though I am still going to bed early, just not falling asleep in the arvo witht he kids anymore, lol! But Liam is still waking a few times every night, and Lily will wake some nights with dreams too, so still no full nights sleep here! I'm hoping baby will be a good sleeper....
Dis, sorry your still feeling yuck, it is the most horrible feeling in the world, to feel so ****ty, but know that you're not really sick, like with an illness. LOL, at Ben! He's a curious boy!! Lily has no idea about the baby actually being inside me I don't think, it's a bit abstract for her yet, but she is rather obsessed with how fat I am getting!
Mel, you did look gorgeous in your dress! I had my mum buy me some clothes so I'm hoping they fit me, I should get them in the post soon. I am getting a bit desperate!
How is Becca in her new bed? I have Liam on a mattress on the floor because he keeps falling off it, and his bed is quite high, so I just put the mattress on the floor, lol! Poor kid...
Ok gotta go do dinner, Hi to Kris, Kaz and Jen.....hope I haven't forgotten anyone... but hi again just in case!
Hey... I shouold take a leaf out of your book kel and limit my net time! I usually dont go on at night anymore, just so I can have some quiet time. DH has quit SES to spend more time at home and its been wonderful! Still waiting to hear about the job too. Rebecca is doing well in her bed so far. Shes so much easier than Olivia! Liv is still waking most nights for toilet/dreams, so its very rare for me to get a straight sleep. I got a nanna nap today so feel better.
Mel- hope things settle for you. Mylanta doublestrength is great! I have a bottle in the fridge. LOL about Ben and his curiosity. I told Liv that the baby was coming out of my vagina and she flat out said no... out of your tummy! She watched her birth dvd... no gory details but she saw that it was sore! (contractions) I just reassured her a bit!
Kel- hope youre coping well with Damien away. Also hope your mum got you some nice stuff to wear.
Better go... DH is cooking on the bbq and I am doing vegies....
Mel, that dress was gorgeous, can't believe you danced!!!! Yay on lots of movement and hoping Becca's OK in her toddler bed ...
DG - I've discovered mylanta effervescent tabs, they taste OK and seem to work. Alongside with berry quickeze chewys!!!!
Kel - yay on clothes from your mum, how are you settling in, are you getting to know any of the ladies / families in the area yet?
Well I don't know about your munchkins, but Pip's language skills have improved almost out of sight in the past 2-3 weeks. Not sure why, we haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary. So cute though, we're singing songs each night before bed, he was trying to get me to sing a tractor song tonight????
If I've any cravings, it's for ice-cream cones. Bowl of ice-cream is OK, but I just NEED cones!!!!
Hope everyone's doing OK, looked like Kris was doing a huge clean-out today, I can't believe the energy she has!
Hey all... thought i would bump us up again. So quiet in here. I think I am just trying to escape by coming on here. Livs tantrums drive me batty. I am tired and want to sleep. Rebecca has done well with 1 week of bed! Olivia had a massive nightmare last night. Took an hour to stop her screaming/thrashing and hitting. Shes cranky today!
Hope youre all well
I am around, just been busy with having Damien away for a fwe days and having to do it all on my own. I so hate it! I would be a terrible single mum. The kids were good mostly though and I handled it better than last time. Hoping he doesn't have to go anywhere for a while now though!
Mel, we are having tanties here too. They usually aren't too bad, but sometimes she has a doozy. I just send her to her room and tell her she can come out when she finishes carrying on! I can't stand her screaming and the attitude she has sometimes either. Lately my kids have been in destructo mode. Just destroying stuff and making a mess in general.
I'm trying to be organised and treat being home as my 'job' because I am finding I think that I have heaps of time and think I will do stuff later and it never gets done. I have dishes pile up for two days and clothes in piles everywhere when I think like that, so I try to make sure I do tasks every day before anything else I feel better for it and feel like I have achieved something if the house is at least tidy. I think I might be trying to be too perfect though. I need to find a balance. I just went off at Damien for not helping today but he has, just not like I wanted him to. He looked after the kids and took them to the park. Let me sleep in and rest with a bit of time alone. But he didn't do any house work. I just want him to walk a day in my shoes. Totally do what I do for one day. But he just can't seem to fathom the time factor and being organised. He said he'd cook dinner, got snags out for dinner. But there was only 5 in the packet for 2 adults and 2 kids (who luuurrve snags!) so I said I didn't want any. I came into the kitchen at 5pm and they were wtill sitting ont he kitchen bench. The oven wasn't on for the oven chips he wanted to cook with them and they take about 25mins in our oven. He had nothing else prepared. So I did it, I cooked dinner and it was ready at 5.45. Dinner is normally 5.15/5.30 for the kids. So then everything was late. I was trying to sort out the kids toys in the playroom and pack them up since they had been out on the floor for a few days. I went nuts at him and he got cranky at me. Then went and started washing the dishes. But it was time for the kids to have a bath. He just has the worst timing. Now it's nearly 7.10 and almost 30mins past Liams bed time. But you know what. I'm not going to nag. I'm not going to say anything. Mainly because I'm stressing myself out and I am getting a mega headache. But he has no idea. He told me he can't look after the kids and clean stuff.....well buddy welcome to my ****ing day. That's what I do all day every day. Clean cook and look after kids. Adn on top of that now I'm making a baby too! No it's not easy. Yes it's monotonous and boring some days. Yes I'm tired like I've never been tired before. But I do it on time most days. The kids are happy and healthy. Because that's what I do....
Arrgg, sorry...just needed to get that out. He's making me crazy, but I'm feeling guilty because he is so good to me. He loves me to death. I know that. He would do anything for me. BUt he just has no idea!!! Plus i'm pg and irrational!
Hi to everyone else. Hope you're all well, as well as your bubs and bus in tums!
Kel- hope youre doing ok. I hear you about your job! I hear you about everything youre saying. Just some big hugs.
Kaz- where are you? I just looked at your ticker and you should be due for your morph scan.... so are you finding out and will you be telling???
Kris- hows it all going?
Mel and Jen... hi
As for us... all is good here in la la land! Rebecca has been in her bed for 2 weeks and the only thing that is a nightmare is getting her to sleep! On the odd occassion she will get up during the night, but is easily resettled (touch wood I havent just jinxed myself). Bed time is hard because Olivia is a bit needy and needs to have someone lay with her to go to sleep. She only takes 5 minutes to get to sleep, but if Rebecca is awake, then she will climb on the bed and jump on us and wriggle and just be a pain! If I try and sit with Becca to get her to settle, then Olivia will constantly come over to 'help'. So now its taking 2 of us to get them to sleep. Tonight Adam showed his magic and showed me how he counts to them til they fall asleep. I can understand why... he has such a deep soothing voice that I started to drift off and then he went to get me up and both girls were asleep!
Tomorrow I have my diabetes test. Hopefully I should be ok. Although I am finding that I have a huge sweet tooth this pregnancy. I cant help myself. Suprisingly I have not gained as much as I had with the girls.... I am mostly carrying out front, with the girls I carried all around.
Ok enough of me....
