Hi all!
We are back and I am T I R E D!!! It was a really fast, whirl wind visit and I feel like I could sleep for the whole day, but instead I have the washing pile from hell to contend with today! It is good to be home though! The kids seem to be happy to be home too.
I will come back later to post some more. Just wanted to drop in and say hi!!
Oh yay... youre back!!! I was going to be the only one posting here!!! Did you find out what flavour youre having:) Is Lil right? An Emily for you?
LOL, no sorry Mel, we didn't have time for the scan, I will be having it soon though :) Don't worry I'm here now, we can chat amongst ourselves, hehe!!
Oh yay... am a bit of a loner in here! No one has been around :( Cant wait to hear about your scan.....
I am 32 weeks today! Very exciting. Just started talking with mum today and shes happy to take the girls for a few nights when I go in to hospital. She works full time but said that she will take leave when I need her to. Its one thing off my mind. So I just have car seats to sort out for her and pack some clothes for the girls... maybe this time next month. Cleaned out the girls cupboards and made space yesterday. Just have to pack my bags and wash bubs clothes and also buy some nappies! Yay... so close! This baby is still breech and kicking me right down low. I have to get into my exercises soon. We were looking at another car but :( DH just hasnt had work so we cant do it just yet. A commodore wagon was the only thing that was going to fit them all side by side! Hopefully a miricle will happen soon!
My gosh, 32 weeks already!! When did that happen, lol!
You're lucky your mum is so willing to take your kids I wish I could say that about mine....
We need to sort out our car situation too. We hired a car to get to Sydney and it was a 2010 holden sportswagon. OMG, it was like heaven to drive! We want one now, though it won't be a 2010 one, lol! Hopefully no more than 5yrs old though.
I got a heap of clothes in sydney for bubs and me too (as well as toys and clothes for the kids too!! We spent up a storm!). But we hadn't brought baby anything much til now. But it has basics now a few tshirts, singlets socks and onsies, and a couple of packs of nappies too. Managed to get myself some stuff for the coming warmer months too, though it's all just casual stuff like tights and longline tops. But I'm thinking that's about all I will really need out here.
Never mind about bubs being breech, you still have a fair bit of time for her to budge. I'm feeling kicks and wriggles everyday for sure now. I'm loving it, it's making it feel more real. Though just today I looked into baby's room and kind of though 'I'm having a baby....wow....a new little baby!' LOL. I managed to book into the same hospital I had the other two in, so I am happy. Though it wasn't without dramas. I was nearly in tears talking to one midwife, the idiot! She told me I would have to birth at my nearest hospital, which is DUbbo, and I really don't ant to do that, I was having images of me giving birth in the middle of nowhere because it's a 3hr drive to Dubbo hospital and there's not much between here and Dubbo! But I talked to the nursing unit manager and she was so good, she just said it would be fine!
Ok I'm going to eat some chocolate and then have a nanna nap while the monkeys sleep, I'm soo tired!
So you'll be in Sydney around your due date? Its nice to have them all in the same hospital. Am glad I got a transfer to my original hospital. Its a bit scary to think about having another baby in the house! I dont know where we will fit them all! I took a 2007 commodore executive out for a test drive last week. It was great and heaps of space. I think the 2008 and onward are a bit smaller though? Anyway this one was about $13500 and it had done 120ish thousand kms. A lady at day care has a 2006 model and fits a hi liner in the middle a baby love convertable on the passenger side and a capsule on the drivers side with plenty space.
Glad you shopped up a storm. I wish I could!!! I have everything I need!
Hi!!!
How exciting with all of this baby talk!!!
Mel - Not long to go at all!
Kel - Yeah on shopping for bubs!
All going well here! Kids have all been sick, especially Jayden but he's on the mend now! Michael has put an offer in on land up at Bonnie doon which is very exciting! All going well we'll be moving up in Jan in time for Louis to start school!!! We should know def in the next couple of days! Then the mad rush to sell our house!! Not looking forward to that with 4 kids to clean up after! LOL!
Dylan had his first day at kinder today!!! He was very excited so I'm sure he will be fine - I have to pick him up at 3.45...The house is very peaceful with the little ones asleep!
I better get some stuff done!
Chat soon!xo
Hi girls... bumping us up!
Kel- happy birthday for the other day, sounds like you had a great day.
Kris- congrats on the buying of land. Hope your house sells fast. We must catch up before you leave town.
Kaz- havent heard from you for a while... hows the pregnancy going?
Mel- hows your pregnancy going?
Jen- how are you and the boys?
AFM- getting a bit sick, sore throat and snotty nose. Rebecca has it and the past few nights have been.... not sleeping nights! She slept in bed with me last night so I did manage to get a bit of sleep...except for the kicks to the head! DH is on his last boys weekend away for the year so it was lucky he wasnt in the bed or I would have had no sleep! I think Bec might be sick because I have now had a feel in her mouth and she has her back 3 molars through.... that means she has only 1 more to cut! Yay! Olivia is going well too. She managed to sleep from 8 til 7 last night without a toilet stop!Shes so motherly and cant wait til 'Amy' comes along. We went and got some nappies and she saw how little they are! Shes so cute..... actually they both are when it comes to my tummy. After my shower they both have to rub copious amounts of cream on my belly!!! Then my back then my face!!! When they both see a little baby they stroke it and pat it. They will be great big sisters!
Ok better move.... have to clean the house seeing I havent done it for ages.... it hurts after a while!
Hi all- am just going to have a ramble! I am 35 weeks. Last night I got some nice cramping in my vj which woke me from sleep... so am guessing that pre labour has started. Am getting so excited. Girls are well. Just organising everything before I have this baby. Still uming and ahing about another car! Work has picked up at the minute for dh so hopefully it stays that way for a while! I cracked it coz he wanted to see how we go with our car because we cant afford it yet he goes out and buys crap all the time for him. My car is the only thin I personally own outright now so it feels like again any of my independant decision making has been taken away... I cant believe that still after 3 years of not working I still feel like this!!! Me and my independance! I so struggle with this. Must have been drummed into me at the girls school I went to!
Other than that all is good! Must catch up with Kaz and Kristie soon.....
Ok so this will probably end up being a whiny me post, but hey, here goes....
I haven't been posting my my buddy threads alot because Ive just been feeling s hitty....
The kids are ok, though they both have colds at the moment, they woke up with them. Liam had a runny nose yesterday and today it's grotty and yellowish. Lily has a blocked nose and cough. We all had a terrible night sleep so I'm hoping they both sleep this arvo. I'm really over not sleeping. At 2 and 3 1/2 yrs old, I really thought we'd be over the not sleeping crap. Lily is being a right little biatch today and Liam is like her little shadow following and doing what she does. I really need a holiday. By myself somewhere far far far far away. Somewher warm and beachy. Where I can drink alcohol too, lol! With plenty of money so I can buy what ever I want when ever I want....yeah well none of that will be happening in the next millenia. Keep dreaming princess.
I have so much I need to do today. A tonne of washing and folding. The baby's room has been trashed by the kids because they go in there and play when their toy room is trashed, which it is, so I have to tidy in there too, their bedroom is trashed too, they emptied out all of the clothes from the drawers they can reach because Lily couldn't find anything to wear...at 3yr of age she had nothing to wear. Though I don't doubt it, it's all in the laundry for me to wash, or in baskets for me to fold and pack away. Vaccing and mopping needs doing....oh the glamourous life I lead.
Ok enough whining. Hope you're all in better moods than me!
Big massive hugs Kel. Hope u get that well deserved holiday... can I come too? Sun, surf, alcohol, hot men to give me massages and a nice comfy bed to sleep in so I can sleep as long or as little as I want!
Not a great deal to report here..... am 36 weeks tomorrow. One more week til full term then I can drop this bundle! Girls are good... well they have their days!
Wow! We are all very quiet in here! Where is everyone?? Well I have one sick little miss who has a cold. My poor little poppet, she's leaking from everywhere on her face, lol! She's got a cough and runny eyes and nose. And she has been watching tv pretty much all morning, which is very unusual. She has been sleeping terribly, as has DS so DH and I haven't been sleeping terribly well! I sent the kids to childcare yesterday though, just to get some real rest. And all I did was laze on the lounge and eat tim tams! The only chores I did was hang out 2 loads of washing and make dinner/tidy the kitchen. It was sooo nice. But DD did come home with the cold! She went with a snuffly nose, but came home looking like she'd been in a boxing ring, with swollen runny eyes and a red nose. It is just a cold, no fever, no green gunk from anywhere, but my goodness she looks terrible
I am feeling ok this week. Moods seem to have stabilised a bit, though I know it's just a matter of time before I explode again...I have been trying to do it myself and stabilise mymoods myself, but it's not happening. Other than that, I am getting HUGE! I am feeling very pg, and with 3ish months still to go, I'm not really looking forward to later pg! My feet are starting to swell and my hips are really feeling the pressure of baby. My back is achey and clicks/cracks alot, sometimes rather painfully when I walk and my leg feels like it will collapse...ick! Feeling very tired, though that just might be because I really am with the kids not sleeping well for the last few weeks! Bub is kicking up a storm, though he's doesn't seem to move as much as my other two did, but that could just be that the placenta is in the way of me feeling alot of movement. He has a definate routine through the day and I can almost guarentee when I will feel him moving. Other than that I am just plodding along in what feels like the longest pregnancy I have ever had!!
How is everyone else going?
Kris I see on FB you have sold your house, my goodness that was QUICK!! Congrats though, you must be sooo excited!! When do you move?
Mel, I can't believe you're so close to bub being born! Your pg seems to have gone sooo quickly, unlike mine, lol!! Maybe that because I feel like I'm in a time warp out here, I do the same things day in day out, and we're stuck here. We haven't been out of town at all for months! Our car is well and truely dead now, the battery is dead, so it won't even turn over. We could just get a new battery, but it's kind of a waste of $$ though not much, it's not really any use, we run out of rego soon too, so no use...Not sure what we will be doing with getting a new car. We have been trying to consolidate our debt, but the banks won't let us because we're on one wage, they won't even do part of it. Some how they can't see if we consolodate it, we will be paying less money out, and would be less of a risk than now. Besides the fact that we have never missed any paymenst of anything, and DH is earnign enough to support us....stupid idiots. Plus DH might need surgery on his shoulder now, so we just have to wait and see whats happening with that. A few weeks ago we were laughing and in a great financial position, now we're up the s hit! We just got our elecrticity bill which was huge, then our strat came in and it's gone up AGAIN, for the 4th year running, and with DH not doing shifts he's not earning the extra $$ he was, which was a fair bit so now we have nothing spare.....arrgh!! Just when I though we had caught up and were going to be able to relax a bit!!
Sorry for the vent...money sucks!
Kris how are you going? How is your pelvis, lol? Hope it's not giving you too much greif. Are you still working? How far along are you now?
Mel, how are you? I saw the picies of the boys on FB, they are getting sooo big!! Ben looks so big! How are you going with your pg? How far are you now too?
Anyway, gotta go and do some house work while the kids are occupied with drawing...hope everyone is well.
**Some of this was cut and0 pasted from my baby buddies so if it doesn't make sense to you, that's why!!
:bump:
Just wrote another post and forgot to press post before going back to the forums....how dumb am I?? :wall:
Anyway...hope everyone is well! We are kids are better and bouncing off walls. We are going outside in a mo to start tackling mount washmore, again! Then onto mount foldmore. Ahh, the glamours of being a SAHM!! I am feeling better in myself the past few days, thank goodness. Though it is a rollercoaster, who know's whats coming over the next dip...
Ok gotta go
CUT AND PASTED FROM MY BABY BUDDIES THREAD, LOL!
AFM, I am feeling much better, as I said. The kids are on the road to recovery and are sleeping better, which really helps me feel better. Looking forwards to this Wednesday when DH and I have soem time alone together for the first time in ages! The kids are going to day care and DH has the day off. I will be going to the GP to see what they will suggest for me, see if I do in fact have depression. But after that the day is ours! Other than that no news...very slow out here in the sticks!!
Hope everyone is well and had a great weekend!
Heys Kel,
Glad you're feeling better!
Well Pip was all asthma-y on the weekend, and DH left his kit @ childcare so I had to go buy another spacer / mask / puffer - GRR!!! Kel - hope you still have my # if you want to give me a buzz after you've seen the GP :hug:
kaz
Kel- good luck at the drs... hope you get some answers. Enjoy ur day with Damian.
Kaz- yep Livs been so wheezy and has this fantastic cough. Hope Pip is ok. Bugger about having to buy a 2nd kit. Hows the pg going?
Hello to Mel, Kris and Jen
AFM- well... 37 weeks tomrrow. I am knackered after an horrendis night with Rebecca. She still hasnt had a sleep today so I am super cranky. Olivia has been delightful and is the best at saying a flat out no to most of our requests. She can be super helpful at times though! I fell over at the supermarket yesterday after stepping on a grape and did the splits. Luckily I have woken only with a bruised bum and more than likely pulled leg muscles coz I dont feel too bad! I am sad/angry that it happened coz I was doing so well doing stuff and its slowed me right down. Oh well, time to relax and try and enjoy these last few.....weeks? days? I have been having consistant pre labour pains again just like I had with Rebecca a few weeks before she was born. This time it wakes me around 445am and I have to breath through it! Yay! This morning I felt baby squirming her head down where the pain is... so shes fairly low now. Ok better run... try and get some rest.
HI girls,
Well, I have done waayy too much in the past few days...now I remember why I'd gotten so lazy! This morning I swept the paved area outside, which is rather huge. Plus I have hung out two loads of washing, folded and packed away 2 from yesterday, made tuna pasta salad for lunch, tidied the kids toyroom with them and emptied/filled the dishwasher. My back is killing me now and I can't get up from the lounge without having to brace myself. I have been needing to kind of fall off it very ungracefully so I can get onto my hands and knees then stand up slowly. My hipsand feet/ankles are aching too.
Kaz, thanks hun. I will have to see how I go. I am getting a bit anxious, but I know it needs to be done. I have been tempted not to go because this last week or so I have felt really good. I have been making myself do stuff and not dwell too much on what I can't change. But I also know it is just a matter of time before things get on top of me again. It always does. How are you going today? I hope Pip is better. On the bright side of having to get a new asthma kit, at least now you don't have to try to remember it all the time! You can leave one at home and one at school!!
Mel, I hope Bec is better for you today. And I hope you are feeling better after your fall. Did you tell anyone in the supermarket, or did someone that works there see you? If you need any treatment for it or anything, then they should be liable!! But it is a good time for you to take things easier and enjoy your girls while there is just the two of them!
Kel i fell infront of a boy packing shelves. The manager grabd my details. Am feeling good though which is a relief!
Just thought I would share some belly pics... cant believe I am nearing the end!

**Cut n pasted....geeze I'm getting lazy arent' I??!! :D
AFM, well we have had an horrific few days, or weeks even!! The kids have been sick with colds and then Lily got slapped cheek and Liam got croup. Lily vommited a few times so I guess she had a tummy bug too, tho nothing too terrible. Now Liam has just vommited at the dinner table mid way though eating....I was fighting the urge to join him. I left DH to deal with cleaning it- he has a stomach of steel, I used to working in childcare but when I'm pg, particularly this pg, I just can't stand the smell or anything about it! Plus my gag reflex is so sensitive, I gag even when I brush my teeth... So I'm hoping it was just a one off thing and he's eaten too much or something and he's not going to be up all night puking every time he coughs I'm waiting for him to vomit again....He isn't sleeping well as it is and having him sick again well, it's just the icing on the cake!! Can't wait til they're better! They're jumping off the walls at the mo, so it seems the vomit was just a once off!
I went to the doc and he agrees I probably have depression. He's given me a referral for a psychologist. I ahve to make an appointment. I'm hoping she will have something to help me (though preferably not medication...)
Ok, off to put the monkeys to bed...hope all is well and weveryone is enjoying hteir long weekends!
