morning girls.
havent had much chance to post, been flat out at work and so tired when i get home, im in bed at 9.
danni - hope you feel better.. tests are yucky.
trina - so glad that you and dave are back together, and everything so good and maybe in a couple of years another bub. hehe
enjoy ac/dc. i wish we could go out and have someone to look after lakshman in the evenings. it's fine during the day, SIL can do it but too hard at night.
i told steve for my birthday present i'd like to have a break and go stay at a motel or something for a night so i can for the first time, have a night all by myself before the baby comes.
i havent had a night away from lakshman ever.
bron - poor nick and poor you. it's just as hard for you to look after both of them.
sorry to hear that you and nick are having problems. steve and i have been at RA, and it has really helped. we can now identify what the other person's response to a situation really means.
all you chickadees will be having their birthdays soon!!
we had a nice quiet one, lakshman finally realised on that day that something special was happening to him and then ran to me and said "eppy birday!!" it was so cute. he's talking heaps now. just a parrot.
I had an energy attack at 9:30 last night so I was frantic. I stayed up until midnight doing housework to use up the energy so I wasn't tossing and turning all night. It worked. I got to sleep pretty quickly. Now that I know what's wrong, I can feel the real jitters and frantic moments coming and I'm learning to put them to good use. Can't wait for next week though when hopefully I'll start medication to bring it under control. So glad they caught it early coz it only gets worse and then makes you burn out and go the other way to hypothyroidism.
My aunty had what I have so I emailed her yesterday and she told me about what she went though. Its good to have someone close to me who I can talk to and who understands. She took 18 months to get better on medication and has her thyroid checked regularly but hasn't had a recurrance for 10 years.
Sorry i havent been around much...
Things are all fine here, super busy and not much time spent in here anymore.
Prama - sorry Poopys birthday snuck up and honestly i did forget that he was a few weeks earlier than the other babies... OMG your a mummy to a two year old! woo hoo
Congrats Skye, what a shock for you, but a lovely one
Danni, hope you get things sorted quickly - and hey, might as well use it to your advantage!!!
Trina - glad that you are so happy, its lovely and you deserve it
Bron, i hope things are OK between you and Nick - always here for you, if you want to drop me a line
Have been down recently about not falling pg again, quite a few people around me are now pregnant and it has hit me that i would be not far away from having the baby, had i not lost it. A girl that i see often was about 3 weeks ahead of me and she keeps posting pics of her belly and it reminds me how far along i would have been (around 24 weeks i think) Anyway so have been a bit quiet in response to thaat.
Doesnt mean that i am not happy for those that are pg, just jealous i guess!
Last week we decided to put things hold here for a couple of months, very selfishly its because we are really close to having a 2011 baby, if we wait a month or two i will qualify for the maternity allowance... i am actually ashamed that my decision to hold of is monetary based, but it will make it so much easier if we get that. I will be looking into not going back to work, so all the extra $$ will be a bonus!
DH is looking into selling his business, he is over the stupid hours and not being there for the family. The stress is getting to him and last year it almost reached boiling point - its just not worth it IMO - yes money is nice, but not when you are not around to enjoy it or the stress is eating you away.
Anyone got anything planned for the birthdays? I am thinking of getting MJ a cubby house, its expensive, but i can afford it at the moment with all this extra work, and i figure that she will use it for years and so will brothers and sisters if it ever happens - so why not... we will see though
Anyway thats all from me atm
:hugs: and kisses to all xo
Well, as you can see, I've uploaded a ticker. I'm still not 100% sure on dates, since the u/s said I'm over a week behind where I thought I was, but I'll readjust it after I see my usual gp on the 4th March & get a more definite answer.
I've kinda been avoiding you guys. Sorry. SJ I know you're having a hard time & I didn't want you to feel as if I was rubbing it in or anything. The fact that I'm still not over the shock is part of it too.
Anthony's home. Looking for work again. Feeling like total crap, exhausted, then our problems on top of it all I feel like I'm an idiot for letting this happen. I'd actually told Anthony it was over & that I didn't want him here. I was trying to get him to leave any way I could til this happened.
We'll see what happens. I just don't have the energy to care either way at the moment.
Oh Skye that sounds aweful. I hope Anth either finds something quickly or gets the heck outta there, though I'm sure it'll be hard raising 4 kids. In the end though you need to be happy and if you're happy the kids will be more at peace I'm sure.
Please don't avoid us though. We're all here for eachother through good times and bad.
Hope everyone else is ok.
Well, I'm getting Jazz's birthday party organised. We're just having an afternoon tea. I've got to get a pass the parcel organised and perhaps one other activity. There'll be a mixed age group of kids ranging from under 1 through to school age, but the party should only go for 2-3 hours. Might make lots of playdough and get some paper & crayons. Perhaps for older kids an "egg and spoon" race (using ping pong balls). Jazz will be having cupcakes as her birthday cake, hopefully pink ones. I'll do some fairy bread and fruit platter and I found a recipe for cheese stick wands which I'll probably make. I'll try to keep most of the food healthy.
Sorry, more news about me: I got a new job! It's still at the same place but in a different area and it's permanent at a higher level. I'm starting on 9 March after the Adelaide Cup long weekend (which is the day of Jazz's party).
Oh Skye hun am sorry you are in such a crap situation its so hard to know what to do sometimes. I hope you can find a solution that works for you and the kids and that you ahve supportive friends and family around you. Hangin there sweet and come vent and talk on here sometimes it just helps to get it off your chest.
Danni congrats on the new job hope it goes well.
We are having a party for Will too. Not a big dealjust a picnic lunch in the enw adventure playground with some friends. He lvoes the aprk so will jsut go off and will probably just be adults eating *L* making the coco pops teddy bear cake this year.Havent had to buy pressies as Santa had lots of left overs at xmas so they have bene itn he present box and have asked for jsut bookes if people want ot get gifts. He has so many toys that I have had to put a lot away as he just doesnt play with them properly when too many.
WIll starts an extra day at care in two weeks. We have decided seeing mum goes way for 5months and she is more or less my only break that an extra day will do us both good.With the rebate it will only cost an extra 20 a week whcih is worth my sanity..a day to do stuff for me to sleep if I need to and also the day when Nick and I will go to counselling..whcih will hopefull help get things back on track.
I am off to Brisbane enxt weekend wil be away by myself form Friday ngiht till MOnday night and nick is looking after Will. I cant wait as really need some itme ot myself atm but is also the longest I have left WIll and never just with NIck mum has been around. FINgers crossed they will cope with it all haveelft myself Friday to get the hosue organised andmeals done etc.It smy cousins 40th brithday and we are really close..its a suprise and am gonna trun up ont he day of the party so cant wait.
Prama girl how youdoing??????
Sammie..to be honest I dont think that its a selfish move waiting for the allowance. Its so dam hard financially and we know that why we dont have kids but it can put a HUGE HUGE strain on our relationships and change our decisions about working and what we can do as a family so I completley understand.
Get this..turns out NIcks arm wasnt fractured"oops we made a mistake your am is so sore now becasue its been imobolised for 10 days" becasue we are slack arses when it comes to our fracture clinic!!!" Am glad at least he is out of a cast but was not happy Jan.
I have bought some brauers baby calm for Will as it turns out he has his mother penchant for insomina and has been doing stretches of up to 5 hours wake fo a ngiht and its nearly killing us. The clamative is having some effect at least.
Anyway enough from me..hope you girls are doing ok life sure does throw us some curve balls sometimes but am glad I have a place to write it all down ( even if it can bore you to tears some days i am sure *L*)
