Oz - yep I have warned DH that until he gets rid of his 'black b!tch' then I will be telling all and sundry about his little security pillow. BWAH HAHA...I am evil! He just shrugs it off...
Trill - I did the same with my MIL about dogs. When we were living down south, MIL came to visit with minimal notice (read hours). I had a weird feeling that she might have had her favourite dog with her (chi-hua-hua) and told DH that no way was that dog coming inside. We had a closed in garage attached to the house so asked DH to just tidy that a bit for the dog to sleep in there. Anyhoo, they rock up and sure enough there is the dog. I told them that we had tidied the garage up for Muffy () to sleep in to which they looked horrified and said its okay the dog will sleep on the bed with us. I said no, there is no dogs in this house so he'll sleep in the garage. FIL got so uptight that he started yelling and told the MIL to get their things, they're heading to a motel for the night. I think he was expecting me to back down so was shocked when I told him where the closest one was . In the end dog slept in garage and was never brought to visit again
S is in size 1's mainly but has a couple of size 2 shirts that are bigish on her. Shes also still in a highchair and is sssllllooooowwwwllllyyyy getting better at using a fork. So, not tempted to try a knife with her yet lol.
S does still have bottles though....she has sippy cups and pop tops for drinks but bottles for milk. The bottles are given to her after she wakes in the morning, and just before nap and bedtime. Should I be giving her milk in a cup now? I wouldn't trust her completely with a big girl cup without heavy supervision but milk in a sippy cup perhaps...?
I hope everyone has a great weekend with lots of goodness and fun!
Just quickly letting you know that H had her op last night and is home now. Unfortunately they had to take her tube. She is sore and moving slowly and will be back on BB soon.
Hi ladies, thanks for all your lovely messages & special thanks to Oz for all the updates! I was so upset on Monday when I had my scan & my uterus was completely empty & there was a mass in my fallopian tube. I had even told DH not to bother leaving work to come along as we both thought the bleeding was going to be nothing. Such a shock, so unexpected. So was admitted into hospital that night, I had no pain what so ever, so they put me to the back of the list for surgery. I spent all my days there fasting, waiting for surgery only to be continually let down & told that they were too busy to fit me in (due to emergency c sections, ladies miscarrying & in pain etc). I finally had a huge breakdown one night after starving myself for the 3rd time, I even lost 3 kgs. I really just wanted it over & done with so I could begin to move on iykwim? They offered me methotrexayte (spelling?) which would dissolve it, but I decided on surgery as the drug can cause birth defects with future babies. Unfortunately they had to take my fallopian tube with the pregnancy, this made me really upset, i was devastated & sorry worried about ttc again. The other thing that really upset me was the poor little thing still had a heartbeat, fighting strong but just in the wrong place. My HCG levels were starting to fall though. So now I'm home, very sore but DH is being my nurse. Luckily M has gone to stay with the in laws, as much as I miss her atm I couldnt tend to her needs at the moment I am moving so slowly. The poor mite is still unwell & pretty confused about where I am. DH had a conference yesterday/today that he paid $600 for, thats why he has dropped M with his parents. So looking forward to seeing her tomorrow. Just so upset about this all, but starting to feel emotionally better. I know this sounds horrible, but I would have chosen a miscarriage over this (no offense to anyone I never knew how painful it could be to loose a wanted pregnancy) but at least with a normal miscarriage I'd still have my fallopian tube. Sorry for all the rambling & selfish post, just letting you all know I am home & well & thanks so much for all your support. xox
H- I'm glad you're home and i'm glad you're ok. I'm so sorry to hear you lost your fallopian tube. I have had 2 m/c in the past and i totally understand your sentiment, i too would rather a m/c than losing my tube. Do you have someone looking after you while hubby is at his course? You need someone there making cups of tea and rubbing your feet. I find my hormones go nuts after losing a pregnancy, i get very emotional, so go easy on yourself. xxx
Hi Ladies
Been mia I know. Been reading and trying to stay away from the TTC thread, lol. Its doin' my head in. T is becoming more demanding too, which is driving me nuts!
Md- glad 2 hear u r doing ok. Glad 2 hear u r booking into some exciting things.
MM-i was hoping it wasn't going 2 b ur tube, take it easy love. Thinking of u xxoo
Pap-wishing u the best with *whenever* it may happen. All my best wishes 2 u.
Leemar-T is in size 2 for everything + have started buying 3's too.
Kate-that is hilarious abut DH's black pillow! ROFL!
Andie-i was just about to post a 'where is andie' post too. Good 2 c u back on.
Oh Hayley hunny I totally understand that feeling, I would probably be the same because having a loss is setback enough kwim? the Methotrexate (which is what I am taking for the psoriasis) is pretty heavy duty stuff and there could have been a chance that they would have needed to take the tube anyway as for some women it can still rupture the tube if the MTX doesn't work quick enough to stop the growing and it can take a while for the levels of hormone to get back to zero. It wont have affected you in the long term for having babies - the waiting period for TTC after MTX is 3-4 months but yes, falling pg while the MTX is still in your system can cause birth defects. You made the right choice for you hun Take it easy and make sure that you accept all offers of help - even from the MIL OK? You need time to rest and just to let everything sink in. I bet Miss M will be glad to see you too
hi everyone
H - still thinking of you honey. the others have much better advice than me, but I just want you to know i am thinking of you and hoping you are resting and recovering and doing ok.
leanne - N is about a size 2 in most things, i find some brands smaller or bigger. would prob buy 3 in bonds soon... and country road as well. he is slimming down a lot and getting longer.. prob what my natural body shape if i didnt eat so much LOL!
re eating - we still use the high chair at home, but i am pretty bad and dont eat with him most of the time. dh and i are terrible couch eaters. something we must change as i grew up with family meal times and love it. atcafes etc he eats at a normal chair, i think we could pregiress him and i must say he is getting a bit antsy re the high chair.. he uses a spoon well and enjoys eating off a fork if i do it and would prob do it himself but so far i havent really given him a knife and fork. seems i better get onto that. he drinks from a nornal cup (with a lot of mess) and has 1 bottle of milk a day (before bed, he drinks about half of it).
ia m feeling ok have been waking up with terrible headaches, called the mw this morning and she isnt worried she said prob bc i heat the house overnight i am dehydrated (no other pre ec signs or anything) so to up the fluids, take panadol and call back if it stays and they will bring me in for a check. my back is still pretty bad, esp at night and low level period like pain but nothing exciting. think i will be another week or so, but i hope the ob will have more info for me on tues.
clare - is the house auction this weekend?
md hope the party goes well today. xxx
HI all, just wanted to pop in with big hugs for MM - I was really hoping and praying you could keep your tube, so sorry to hear that you have lost it. Take your time to grieve, rest and recover - it is a double loss. xxx
Thanks girls. DH is back at work today, he goes nuts at home. Such a work a holic, guess I shouldnt complain but I could do with having him here today. He has been really good though. He is just as upset as me but he isnt too good at expressing himself.
Supa, I am watching MJ on rage too. I thought I was doing ok today till I started watching this & its just made me so sad. I know what you mean about the ttc thread, I am not going near it this time. Too hard.
Trill - Thanks for the meth info. I didnt have a heap of info about it at the hosp, but DH was reading about it online at home & from what the doctors told me, I didnt want to go down that track. At first I was all for it anything to avoid surgery & losing the tube, but they did warn me that I may need surgery anyway. Couldnt bare the thought of going through it again, so I went for the surgery. What are you taking it for? It sounds pretty heavy duty.
Falguni - Thanks, didnt realise you have had 2 miscarriages, so sorry hope I didnt offend you with that comment. Its so painful isnt it! I didnt expect this to happen to me!!
Why am I so sore all over, even in like my face muscles. Its like I've run a huge marathon lol.
H, it would be the residual effects from the anaesthetic making you feel like that hun so you will feel a bit sore and dodgy for the next day or so, but should start to improve from now on . I guess Tim is where he needs to be for now, but he will be there for you if you need him.
The MTX is pretty harsh - it is used as chemotherapy for some breast cancers and its one of those multipurpose wonderdrugs so it's used for other things too. It basically suppresses your immune system and stops cell growth - so for me it is to slow the over-growth of skin cells. Googling it doesn't really fill your head with pleasant images - the side effects can be really nasty, but I have been fine.
hayley you've got me in tears again....
could be cos i'm watching 'marley and me' at the moment too, not helping things much!
dh banned me from watching it but i'm sneaking it in while he's in the garage
girls it's jimmy's 4 month birthday today, he's the cutest little monkey in the world! i took him to the bakery before and his eyes were nearly popping out of his head at all the coloured cupcakes- little fatty!
H: man, i am so so sorry. it must have been awful having to wait and constantly fast all that time knowing that it was all over. i am so sorry. xx like Ange said, the hormones after a loss can be really full on so be gentle on yourself and go with it! xx
rainy: oh man, marley and me i remember clearly reading in rome airport BAWLING and SOBBING in front of the entire terminal (like big phat ugly crying). . that's when we got home and brought stella home from the rescue home!
AFM: we are okay. i am a little miffed at DH today as we pretty much had a house in our hands today (full reno, 20K kitchen and bathroom with a fancy shmancy extension) and the annoying man GOT COLD FEET. so some horrid individual got the house for 40k less than the asking price. afterwards DH was so shocked and upset, but i had very little interest in comforting him...man i must be an awful wife sometimes LOL!
Oh no Clare! Why did he get cold feet? Buying a house is a big step though, such a huge expense!
I need to read this Marley & Me, it sounds good, but sounds sad so maybe not atm lol.
M is back, she is so upset & grumpy though because I cant pick her up yet. Its so hard, she just cried & cried before but she's asleep now thank goodness. She hates that I wont pick her up and no doubt she's upset & confused as to where I've been. The in laws were really good today, & I told them we appreciated them having M, they loved it of course. MIL was fine, I think she was a bit dissapointed too, she even bought me flowers.
