I had a little shetland pony when I was about our bubs age. It lived in our back yard and went inside to eat the cat biscuits. We had a three legged dog at the time and apparently the pony's main source of amusement was to bite the remaining back leg out from under it lol Very cute pics of little me riding it though.
Feeling glum today, despite passing my GTT the other week my blood sugars are now starting to go over the limits. Trying hard to remember what I ate last time, surely I didn't live for 3 months on Basmati rice? Trying to accept that I will probably never get the natural birth I wanted.
Also mum is keeping two puppies out of her litter, now she will have 10 dogs! It is just too many. I am going to ask her if she will cage some of them when we are there with W and the new bub, I just can't keep a close enough eye on W with that many dogs and a newborn too. I hope she doesn't get offended, she is very precious about her dogs.
ETA, PAP, I can't believe that you are almost on maternity leave already! Hope the sleep school is helpful for you. W is still waking up a couple of times a night, I am in his bed because I am too lazy to get up (and it is cold!) but I will have to move out of there soon.
MD, I just leave DH to do things wrong and realise for himself later, it isn't worth the fight about me 'micro-managing' even if I am right lol
art- what kind of dogs does your mum have?
not good news about the gd...
did you end up coming to a decision about what to do with w during the birth?
there's no way i want to be friends with mil on fb. i don't want her in my business at all.
md- small and miserable life is exactly right.
well we had a visit this morning from ange, lu and sassa. lu and lewis snuggled up on the couch together- so cute!!
sooo cute Rainy and Ange!!
ikwym about ils being on facebook - my FIL tried to friend me and i ignored... it is shouldnt be cross generational imo!
cally and sherie - looking fwd to our catch up.
Arte - i forget what your gd was like last time - was it diet controlled? i hope it doesnt get too bad... i hope your mum understands re the dogs, i think most people would.. tbh it is prob better for puppies not to be around toddlers too (i am thinking pull the tail tendencies!!)
Last time GD was insulin controlled, very limited diet, hungry all the time. So not looking forward to it.
W loves the puppies, he talks about them for weeks afterwards - very cute. They are border collies, so not even small dogs. DH already doesn't like him near them because he is worried W will get bowled over etc. My worst fear is that one will snap and a pack mentality will take over.
wow, new thread and i am SOOOo way behind on all the goss!
MD: i am with your DH on the sleeper madness...i have no idea when it comes to being technical. i wish i could call it *creativity* but instead, it's just plain unco-ness.
Arte: woozers. that is alot of dogs in one spot. are they allowed that many?! it would be good if she could keep most of them away when you visit and maybe just have 1 or 2 around that are gentle enough for W to be familiar with, without feeling overwhelmed IYKWIM.
Sherie: ooooh floriade would be fun! wish i could go and meet up with you all!!
Ange: the welsh pony i used to ride (trixy was her name...need i say more LOL!) also used to do the bum nip whenever i would go to get on. or she would drop her front leg down to try and have you fall in the mud LOL! it builds resolve and determination...
Rainy: could you just send the link of the photos to her? we do with my MIL. that way they can only see the album and nothing else...
Supab: did you have a doozer of pg last time? no doubt it is the worry of the 'what ifs' that is more scary than the actual thing. once you are pg, no doubt you will hit the ground running.
hhmm it appears that i should read the other thread to get fully updated...
AFM: we are fine and dandy...well actually i lie. today was a shocker with Leila. she woke up at 6am angry and unamused. and it continued all day. even at MG she was horrendous. she fell asleep this arvo on the way home after doing a MASSIVE poo. so she is currently catching the zzzzz's smelling like something died in her pants . so glamorous.
AND IT IS FREEZING TODAY. PAP, i saw that canberra wasnt even cracking the double digits today!
yep it is SO COLD today! yuk.
app with wind chill it was 0 this morning when DH dropped N at kindy. better get my mum onto a few more hand knits i think!
clare - hope L wakes up happier...
. so glamorous.
