Art - oh is mcleods back on again? when? i am the huge pregnant lady with the yellow tshirt. LOL. you cannot miss me :redface:
Arte: ppfffft. that's what i would tell him! good on you for sticking it to the wind and going. that's the way!!!
i guess Leila decided to grab the poo as it was all over her back and up over her belly anyway (black seeds and BRIGHT green). no more kiwi fruit in our house is all i am going to say.
the pre-conception would be good...only problem is that i keep throwing them up. just dont agree with me. so annoyed!
Supa: if you are comfy with a student doula there is generally no cost. i think a trained doula comes in around the $1000-1500 mark. i think Rainy would be the girl to ask, i *think* she used one...
PP: doing a happy dance for you in celebration of your impending NO WORK deadline this afternoon...:dance::dance:
*mwah* you are getting so close now! i must say that i did enjoy the comforts of the JJMH when i had leila! are you going to stay the full time?
Hi all, just popping in to give Clare a hug on the poosplosion moment. That sooooo beats a car-seat vomit anyday!! :hug:
Anyway, bit distracted because I saw the breast surgeon again today and he's totally blown my tiny brain away by offering to give me not one but TWO brand new bazookas. Like the total eejit I am it hadn't even occured to me. Or I can have the other one lifted to match the new one. Or I can have the new one done to look like the one I already have. ARGH too many choices! Lucky I've got a good three months to think about it. I gave DH a good kick in the shins after his eyes lit up at the prospect of two new perky mummas...
wow md-2 new bbs sounds awesome to me!
pap- yah on finishing work. not long now till your little princess ;) arrives!
clare- that poo sounded gross!!!
supa- i had a doula lined up but for various reasons, didn't end up using her. her fee was going to be $450.
what is with all the early mornings lately? lewis has been waking at 6am too- i hate it!
i'm supposed to meet my MG at the playcentre today at 2pm but both my boys are asleep right now. i feel bad cos i've been really slack and have made no effort with them lately, but i just can't wake my boys iykwim?
i'm looking at new mobiles on ebay as lewis smashed mine so i have no phone. gonna buy a tradesman's one- rough and tough!
MD: ooh that is a tough one. honest, i am not sure that i would be brave to go two. but then i *might* be disappointed if the matching isnt as good as i'd have hoped IYKWIM. (but then, i guess, you could always go back....maybe?).
Rainy: my theory has been the early morning cold snaps. i reckon it's waking them. although, she is warm enough so.....
i wouldnt wake them either. especially if they are sleeping at the same time! although bummer that they chose to sleep at latte time! LOL!
yeah idk what's going on cos we have the heater on so he shouldn't be any colder. it's quite strange.
yeah i just messaged one of the girls to say i'm not coming.i feel really bad, but i had playgroup this morning and they were both so tired.
md- what do you think you'll do?
MD - OMG wow!!!!! lol at your Dh! How exciting, two new perkies sound great lucky you!
Leanne - Oh you will have a ball, & it will be great for you & your DH to have time out together.
Rainy - I'm sure the girls understand, most mums would. Are any of them onto their 2nd yet?
Clare - Ewwww oh no lol, what a disaster!
Supa - Sorry utd = up the duff. I'll be keeping my eyes open for your announcement ;)
PAP - Congratulations on your last day of work! Bet they will miss such a hard worker like yourself. Will you be going back again p/t? Start your nesting woo hoo!
Dont know what to do about a scab on M's face. It started as a pimple, which she then scratched so it went scabby. It was just about healed & she scratched it again yesterday & she just keeps picking at it & making it bleed! Dont know how to keep her hands away from it, any ideas??
Rainy, too early to call. I guess the bit I haven't said is if you get the other boob replaced there's no guarantee you will ever have sensation in the nipple, even if they do preserve it. On the other hand you don't have to worry so much about a recurrance. I think a lot of women go for option B - get other boob tidied so you get a perkier pair that match, so you're getting the best of both, kwim? All jokes about dolly parton aside, the most important thing is that I get the option that gives me the greatest sense of wellbeing and wholeness. If this hadn't happened to me, I would never in a million years ever consider getting boob work done (tummy yes maybe but never boobs). In fact I'd be quite happy to live out my days with my wonky post-partial boob like it is without getting it tidied.
Clare, part of the decision for me is actually making the best possible decision now in order to avoid later surgeries as much as possible. I'd like to think this surgery will be the last of it, kwim?
ETA I should mention at this point I probably won't opt for the method that gives you a free tummy-tuck because the exact bit of skin they use is the part of my tummy that's full of stretchies!! Hmmm nice stripey stretchy-mark boob...NOT!!!!!
Sorry I shouldn't be talking about it in this thread should i?? :p
Gypsy, try cutting her fingernails right down and if that doesn't work, you could stick a tiny bit of hypafix over the top of it.
hmmm MD they are options thats for sure... geez that's one to ponder. LOL at Dh reaction - men hey! i guess you have to weigh up the whole package, imean if you didnt feel the need for a boob job before... i guess just what makes you feel best in and out? i dont know what i would do.
Clare - not sure how long i will stay. partof me thinks the full time, bond with bub, get bfeedingestablished, rest etc. the other part will want to rush home to N. guess i will see how it goes...
Rainy - wooo hooo on the joint sleep time, that must be rare and blissful. boo hoo on them timing it with latte time. i think babies have a sensor for mummy fun - N used to sleep through tv, vacuum, cooking etc - but TOUCH the kettle and he was wide awake...
eta too many posts at the same time... gypsy N kept picking at a scab on his arm (left over from the HOOF!!) - i stuck a little wiggles band aid over it for a few days and it healed - they heal so quickly at this age... is that an option (not sure on the face)
clare been meaning tp say i also throw up pre conception and also preg vitamins (i can tell ia m goingto throw up within 10 mins of taking) unless i take them ona pretty full tummy...
MD - lol that your DH's face lit up, so did mine. nah, seriously u need to feel good about it and u will b recovering anyway. its a huge decision and if its free.. well then. nah, that is too hard to choose isn't it.
Rainy - $450! what does a doula do exactly. is it like your own personal dr available at anytime? don't feel bad about not mtg up, do what u feel like, there will always b next time.
finally just had lunch :wall:
Hi Girls,
PP- Its chicargo (sorry for the spelling) then back to la
MD- Lol at your DH reaction mine would be the same.
Hello to everyone
mmmm, idk what i'd do md...i guess i'd have to take into consideration what's gonna make me feel most comfortable in the end iykwim..what does the surgeon recommend?
supa- a doula helps you a lot with the 'mental' side of the birth and are a non-medical source of support
pap- i know what you mean about the kettle LOL
i couldn't wait to get home to lewis from hosspy
mm- 2 other girls in my MG have #2 and one is pg
Rainy, surgeon will do pretty much whatever I ask for - within limits. Because I'm having the mastectomy at the same time they have funding to do whatever will give the best possible result. Next appt I will insist on seeing him (saw his lovely offsider today and he popped in just long enough to cop a feel and then draw all over my boob with his biro PMSL) and apparently he has all these photos of his work, which might help with the decision. Main thing I want is to keep my nipple. I guess any result nicer than that is a bonus, kwim?
MD - i have watched loads of those LA surgery shows lol. but they always keep the nipple now and just draw like a keyhole and move it up KWIM. It will b crap recovering, but if u did it, u would feel so much better about the whole thing and boost your self-confidence. we can all do with a bit more of that hey! ;)
MD: totally get wanting to go in and get it over and done with. avoiding hospys is always a good idea in my book. i reckon the little nip and tuck for perky perks would be considered more over other options if it were me.
geez, how hard is it to get the biro off??? i always wondered when i would see those makeover shows...
PP: that's what i think too. one part of me would want to stay to get a bit more rest and some bonding and b/f but then the other part of me really dsilikes too much hospital environs and middies and the like coming in and out all the time. i cant remember whether the JJMH had an early discharge program?? maybe check it out if they do?
Rainy: wow! your MG hasnt wasted time! we have got one about to pop, and one that is 6 weeks and one TTC. other than that, no one is trying yet (we are a group of 12). BUT they do have younger bubs (by about 2-4 months...). it's actually cool seeing the two go through their pregnancies as, of course, we werent part of that journey pre-bub.
AFM: man, i am TIRED. i know i know, have been a broken record, but seriously, i am about to pass out! luckily there is a comfy couch in the office calling my name...
idk md, big decision...i'm so sorry you have to go through all this.
clare-yeah i think i paved the way for everyone else iykwim? i told them all i was pg at about 5 weeks so they knew pretty early and then another 2 followed not long after. they've both had opposite sex babies itms? like the one that had a boy has had a girl and vice versa....not like me and ange pmsl!
i'm tired too atm girls. luckiy dh has just come home and taken lewis out to ride his dirtbike...and we're having pizza for dinner....
my lucky boys are going to see their girlfriends tomorrow a.k.a sassa and lulu woo hoo!
Rainy, that is so cool that your boys and anges girls get to play together!
MD, yay on the free upgrade! I guess in your situation I would be all about the nipple too. I could handle uneven and wonky, but I would be sad to lose the nipple if there is a chance of preservation. BTW feel free to talk about it in this thread, we all want to know what is happening.
Clare, there is no kiwifruit in this house for the same reason - only it is me not W lol
Too many helping fingers, bbl
