Hi Ladies
I've been stalking but not posting...thinking of you all
Just a brief update from me. Mum flies up on Friday to drive down to Ippy with me, then the waiting game is on. I've been having strong feelings that I might not see 40 weeks, not too sure if its intuition or jus insanet plain psyching myself out. I've so gotta get out of Emerald and then I think I'll breathe easier. S has been driving me freakin insane...a combo of her age I think and my crankiness for sure lol.
Been getting shocking BH contractions and have terrible hip pains. So not allowed to sleep on back, can't sleep on stomach and soo much pain sleeping on either side means that I spend most of the night on the recliner. I miss tummy sleeping ;(

Just quickly popping in to say a big hello!! We are going away for the weekend and I should be packing.
Re the dentist we are all going next month so L will have his first check up then. WTG A for being so great about it. L likes to open his mouth for the Dr so fingers crossed he is just as good for the dentist.
Cass I hope L is feeling better. I can't believe we will be reading your BA soon! I can't wait for your birth story already lol.
Ok I am off to pack while Z is sleeping and L is occupied.

Heya chicks,
Lu got over her Malaria and then managed to perforate her eardrum so she's been in the wars. Sas on the other hand now has Malaria and is quite sick. She hasn't eaten in 5 days, thank goodness i'm BF'ing still, she manages to keep BM down sometimes but has been in and out of the clinic to get IV fluids.
Some of you asked about Malaria. It is VERY common here. The Valley i live in is locally referred to as 'death valley' :o But the truth is that around here not many people die from it as treatment is readily available. Lu had a cough and was a bit off so i went and got her tested. Sas threw up once so i took her to be tested. Catching it early means you can head it off at the pass, so even at the slightest twinge we head down and have a test done. It's really simple, just a finger ***** which is assessed under a microscope to check for the parasite.
I think we caught Lu's earlier than Sas, she recovered much quicker. Sas is still struggling, and my nipples hurt!
Anyway, i haven't really caught up on the latest, but mum and dad just left so i will after the weekend. xxx

big hugs JM :hug: i remember when we had dengue outbreak and everyone was walking around like zombies. hope the girls recover well and quickly. poor sas on the vommies! thank goodness for booby milk! xx
Kate: i saw on FB that they closed the local hossy :o hope the trip down to ippy is ok and you are holding up ok all considered :hug:
Oz: let me live vicariously through you...where are you going??
AFM: having a day at home by myself today :dance: i figure i might as well take advantage! i have been mega tired (so get ya on that one Kate!) and bubby has really dropped so have constant aching in my nether regions...oh the joys lol.
Leila is MUCH better!!! basically she was crook on tuesday, runny nose on wednesday, by wednesday night she was 100% better!! i credit the speediness to the brauers recovery tonic as i reckon she was just needing an extra boost to get over the last hump itms. think i might chuck her on a multivit for a month or so. we are missing out on so much sun and running around in fresh air cause of the weather, so all the heating and controlled air environment is taking it's toll on the poor wee poppet.
Leila has also upped the 'norti' stakes BIG time. basically she has spent the last 3 days REFUSING to come when called, get dressed, spills her drinks (delibrately) then smears the contents overherself and objects, drawing in books, lying ( :o ) you name it she's doing it lol! basically she's possessed lol! not really sure what to do, but am just riding with the wave ATM. tried some time out in her room (which usually works, but she decided to do a proper 'kid' tantrum and destroyed her room instead). have to say that i am grateful for the calmbirth course i did as it is helping BIG TIME with keeping in check (well most of the time...i am sure that my neighbours have heard me yelling yesterday...after she smashed the internet USB...by STOMPING on it).
it's just a good thing that she's cute :rofl:

Just a quickie - who used rice milk? Did you have a preference for brand? I've got a friend who had issues with dairy and soy isn't working either so that is the next option.
-
Cally, not sure of the issues, but lots of people with dairy probs tolerate A2 milk. Might be worth a shot. Also people with a dairy intolerance often have a soy intolerance. I used Rice Dream i think! I found them all a bit similar.....

Cass I wish I could say I was going somewhere great. DH's nan passed away so we are off to Syd for the funeral.
Maybe we should pretend......... Ok I am off to Hawaii to enjoy the sun and surf. Taking mum with us so she can watch the kids, this will give us time to go and look for our million dollar holiday home so we can make the trip a regular thing. Best be off to finish getting ready. The private jet is being prepared as we speak................. lmao.
-
LOL Oz! you are a crack up!!! I might see you in hawaii i am jetting off there tonight too... (in my dreams)
-
Hawaii??? Noo! Come visit me instead. :p You can't get Malaria in your dreams.
-
nah sorry girls, my jet is picking me up to take me to the maldives...apparently johnny depp is going to be there cooking up a feast for me too....lobster, fresh pineapple, guava juice....mmmmmm
-
oz - sorry to hear about dh's nan :( Great that your mum can go to Sydney with you.
jm - poor little S :( hope she gets better fast.
mp - sounds like you and Noah had such a wonderful day. They're so much fun to be around most of the time aren't they :)
Cass - sounds like you're super patient. A couple of times this week people at school have heard me being stern with H. (just your basic - 'come here to Mummy please') they were suprised and said they thought i was a super calm person all the time. I told them to spend a couple of minutes down my street of a morning. ;)
Kate - it's all happening!! I hope you have a safe trip back to the big I
afm - started working at school yesterday - it took me forever to complete the newsletter!! My computer froze, the power went off as i was photocopying everything, i margin issues. You name it, it happened! Next week i'm going to win lol.
dh asked me if i'd washed his jeans yesterday, "aaah daaaah! i worked all day yesterday!" felt good saying that. What i should have said was that i got paid for doing work yesterday. ;)
Off to peel some spuds. Mum is coming over for a meat pie, mashed potato and gravy.
-
Kate, wow you are so close! I can't remember if you know the gender?
Oz, sorry to hear about your DH's nan. It has been a bad year for grandparents in this thread :(
MP, sounds like a great day! I haven't had much one on one time with W since A was born, basically only if she is sleeping and since she is queen of the 20 minute nap there isn't a lot of time for me to spend with just W.
Clare, OMG! I don't have the patience to withstand that sort of toddler onslaught! Lucky for me W is all noise when he tantrums. He is not really a breaker - actually I was just thinking the other day that he only has 3 broken toys and the neighbours kid broke two of them.
JM, hope the girls get better very quickly
MD, any news about when the job starts/hours etc? Are you sick of people asking you that?
The other night we went on a night bush walk which was quite cool. W has been asking to go for ages and we kept putting it off but then the kindy teacher asked what he did over the holidays and he told her all about it - desire leaking into reality - so I thought we had better make good. It was pretty fun. Followed by a major meltdown when we got home, but we expected that.
Off to the city by myself today for a root canal. Not really an exciting 'me' day but it needs to be done.

Jazah, forgot to say Yay for work! It must feel good to be doing something paid again. Is it one day a week? Where does H go while you are doing it?
-
It's only supposed to be for a couple of hours a week - they've only allowed 3 hours in the budget to pay me . I'm trying to do most of it from home on a Tuesday night and then go in to school for a couple of hours to print in out the next morning.
H went to dh's parents. She had a great time - but i'd prefer to send her to my Mum - she spoils her rotten ;)
Will you have some to yourself before you actually get to the dentist?
-
Nah, it is an hour and a quarter travel time, so by the time DH gets home from work I will only have time to a quick job or two and then the dentist, then race back because DH is away for the weekend and needs to leave the second I arrive home.
Glad H had a good time at your IL's.

jm- great to hear from you, so sorry to hear about the malaria though
quick q- has anyone got a razor scooter?
