Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Oh. Faw, I am so sorry xx. My deepest sympathy on your Granny passing. 94 is a very good age, she lived a long life.
My Gran died at 89, 11 years ago. I still think of her everyday and miss her. I may name LG after her.

Rakker- well done on the award! What did you get it for? Sorry about the sings problem. Oh not nice. I had a sinus infection in my first trimester. I really felt terrible, morning sickness and swollen cheeks where it all got stuck. The dr only gave my some homeopathic nasal spray. I was in constant pain and lived on panado. She mentioned physio. In retrospect I should have gone. I hope you get sorted.
Bummer about the car, but what can one do? I also have unpaid maternity leave. I had better get a move on with the Uif. I have decided to use UIF assist.

Schatsie- how is the pain today? I hope you are feeling a bit more comfy xx. Your last month of work, and then you can put your feet up and relax a little bitxx

Ems- lovely dream- except the goat part lol. I am lucky that I have never had BH pain. Or perhaps I have but thought it was something else. I have heard it is so painful like labour pains? Is ur baby shower on sat? I still have not heard anything, so not sure if I will be having one. I had a big one for Matthew.

Anje - how are you? Did the rash get better? How did the scan go?

Misty- how was the carnival. Have not been in years... Did you get some Devine eats?

As for me, bust starting to prepare for the big birthday party
on Sunday. So much to do. I baked some biscuits last night. Will do the cakes on Sat and then the adult snacks I will just buy on Sat. I hope I don't run out of time.
Tonight we are going to a picnic and watch the starlight classics- like an open air orchestral concert. I am looking forward to it. Matthew is going to Granny.


Still on for coffee tomorrow!

oh yes Anje I hope everything went well with your scan?

ok ladies....I have just ONE word to describe that mom with the 6 kids..... WOW

She is my age!!! Infact, we are born 2 days apart! (so she's 25).
Her kids are 8, 5, 11 months and 1 month old triplets.
Not only does she have all these kids at the age of 25, she is homeschooling the bigger 2.
She conceived the trips naturally!
She has no one helping her...she only moved to Miami a year ago and knows no one.
She came to the park on her own with all the kids. She does not have a car so she walks everywhere (with all 6 of them) and does all the grocery shopping on her own with all of them and then walks back home with all the kids and all the shopping.
She carried the trips to 36 weeks and they even said she can keep going if she feels like it (which at that point she didnt so they did the caesar). the smallest was about 2kg and the other 2 were about 2.4kg each!

ok now how incredible is this lady????????????????????

Faw so sorry for your loss xx My mom's parents died when I was 8 and my dad's parents died when I was 16. So I have been without for a very long time and I miss them so much.

Lucy - the dream is really freaky how it is so appropriate! Goodness a sudden thrashing movement meaning distress? Matt also has "spazz attacks" where he just goes insane and my stomach is literally thrown from side to side...yip - the stress never ends!
Really cant wait to find out when you'll have your baby! I have a feeling it'll be before I have mine!

Anje where are you??? want to know how our baby is growing

EmsMom I had a good laugh about baby turning into a goat!! hehe.

Jessica posted more pics of Riley on FB - goodness those cheeks I could just eat up!

Claire you should take a photo!!! it is actually very interesting. We use to keep those 'rare' placentas in the fridge for a few days to show any students that came through!!

well just skyped DH. he didnt read the letter at first...so he skyped back. well actually he didnt want to skype back as he was too upset. but eventually he did. honestly I feel like the letter was a waste of time...he doesnt seem to get my point..aarrgg.

He wouldnt go through the letter with me and speak about each paragraph - which I wanted to do because I wanted him to acknowledge each and every single thing I mentioned and I wanted his opinion of it too.
he just said he thinks the biggest issue is that he cant make me happy when he is not happy within himself to begin with.
which i agree with.
so i dont feel anymore advance in the problem...same talk about him seeing a doctor to increase his medication. only difference was he asked me if I would leave him if things didnt get better after that and I said yes. and he was very hurt by that. I said he cant rely only on tablets - he has to make a decision on what he wants from life and take control.
so he says he is going to try leave work earlier in the evenings to spend time with the baby. i explained that surely not EVERYTHING at work is so urgent that it cant wait til the next day. he agreed. so we'll see if he makes an effort to come back earlier.
otherwise he seems to think literally all the other problems will resolve once he is stable on the meds. he thinks then he'll be less stressed, more relaxed at home, (therefore perhaps get his libido back for that problem area...) be nicer to me.
but i told him he has to want to not think of work when he is at home. he has to want to be relaxed. when he leaves work, he has to leave all thoughts and worries about work, at work for the next day.

so I have no idea if we are any more forward than before. he said he didnt realise things were so bad that I was considering leaving him. I told him that in fact - I have told him that before...

so ladies - please pray that he gets his ass into gear and starts acting like a real man.

Well ladies, i was kinda waiting for it and its happened and im devastated to say the least. My granny has died. She was nearly 94. My mom and dad have gone to see her and im at home with my son. Granny i love you. Rest in peace. Hugs.

Meags - How utterly freaky is that dream and it's meaning !!! Wow, hope you are enjoying lunch and meeting the triplets!! I was wondering where I would fit in, in the order of births and I was hoping to keep a low profile, to avoid facing it a little longer hee hee. But I would really rather be sooner than later. Our midwife said if you get a sudden thrashing movement in your tummy it could be baba caught up in the cord and you should have it checked out immediately. Well dear Tessa thrashes about violently at least once a day, so I just keep stressing. I kinda want her out while I know all is well, she should be over 3kg now anyway!!

Rakker - So glad you had a silver lining, congrats on the award!! Let us know what it is for when you find out!!

Emsmom - Goodness that is a weird dream, should ask Meags for the website she found and see what it means.

Anje - hope you are getting awesome pics of your angel now

Kimika - I love the angel kiss !! how appropriate for our little valentino!!

Cath - You sound so normal (I mean that in a very good way!) I mean you have just experienced, I would guess the most significant and important thing in your life, ever. I reckon being emotional is totally normal. W sounds like heaven, so glad you are enjoying him so much.

Sorry I can't remember more!! Chat tomorrow.
