oh poo I dont have the photo of the cat attack! if i find it one day - i'll post it

here are the belly pics

Hey Ladies

Kimika, have you tried squirting breastmilk into his nose? I found that really helped with Em. Hope it gets better soon.

Cath, so glad everything is going so well - and lucky you that he sleeps for so long.

Megas, how are you doing? Hows the pain?

Misty, really cool about the CPU winnings, its something nice to have the knowlegde of.

Betty, glad you had a good week-end, and got to have a nap.

Lucy, good luck with the rest of the visit! Stay strong and also try put your foot down and say you need to rest so they must sort themselves out.

Anje that tummy looks stunning!!

Tazzy and Jess, you guys must be SO excited! Cannot wait to see pics of your angels.

Sorry for anyone I've forgotten...

Yesterday was another rough day, woke up early to do shopping for DH's party, then went to prep, then had to go to a work function of Dh's, and then back to get ready for the party, and then of course actually have the party, I was having serious cramps and BH's, and was in such pain by the end of the night. Anyways, at least got to sleep in this am and then after we had done pressies we went to have our picnic which was lovely, and then we came home and I was put in bed and Dh looked after madam, cleaned the house and baked some muffins. Once I woke up he made me supper and all I had to do was read Em her bedtime story Feeling much better today though, so glad things are calming a bit.

Cath I love your posts They are always so positive and happy!
It makes me so excited to meet Matt!

Kimika sorry about Reuben's nose Ah man it's the worst part of newborn stage I think (because it's just so common and normal...)
Shame they do get so frustrated and upset cos they just don't have the reflex to rather breathe through their mouth Hope the meds start working soon for you.

Lucy - goodness....2 more days then you'll have space!! I cant believe no one has helped you or cooked for you. that is SO wrong. my mother wouldnt let me do anything when she was here. She cooked every night, did the dishes, cleaned the house. Cant wait for her to come back hehe
And I am sure you will sleep better once Tessa is out. Ok yes they wake up often to feed...but at least when you do get that sleep in between, it is a deep and real sleep!!! and it's amazing that even if you only get 4 hours of sleep in total, since it is proper sleep, you can actually survive!

Anje - your bump is looking lovely! You're also carrying low and small I have to say - I think my belly has shrunk!! I think it grew so rapidly until about 28 weeks, then stayed the same until 32 weeks and now I think it's just getting smaller and smaller? Weird... and so strange that since it hasnt actually grown bigger, that I've developed stretch marks on my love handles in the last 3 weeks?!

I will post my 36 week belly photo now...you can see the stretch marks in the side picture. Not the best photos as DH took the camera with him so I had to use the blackberry

Lucy I'll also post that cat pic now too...eekk scary thing.
And is your couch leather? Use Handy Andy to take the crayon off.
Have you got your caesar date yet?

Tazzy - does it feel real yet that your baby is coming in the next few days??????

Jessica this is your last sleep with your big tummy!!! I'm excited to know his weight - I think you'll have the biggest baby out of all of us!

BettyF how is your tummy feeling? Nice you managed to get a nap in!!

ok gonna try post my pics now

Hi girls

Sorry my 3g is soooooooo slow I can barely open a page

Ill do personals tomorrow, hopefully its better then.

Reuben's had this stuffy nose going for a few days now.. its just gotten worse and worse. He can barely breathe through it Its affecting his sleep, he wakes up crying the most frustrating cry! So we are at a point now where he gets overtired and fretfull. So then he wants more comforting feeds and is sucking me dry!! I just wish his nose will clear Had him at dr today and she gave some cortisone drops, hasnt made a difference sofar... my poor baba...

Lucy - I'm very anxious! But more so to leave my LG. I think she is going to have a hard time without me. She is a mommy's girl.

I've re-packed my hospital bag and evrything is ready for wednesday now.
Dh, Lg and I all have colds. I hope the anaethestist isn't going to be too worried about it??
My lg has had a snotty nose for about 3 weeks now. I had a sore throat but just snotty now. Otherwise I feel fine!

Hi all

Sorry I couldn't catch up, will try tomorrow. Since I didn't get time to post my 35 week belly during last week, I am posting it now. I am really looking forward to my maternity photo shoot on Saturday !!

Please excuse the love handles etc. etc.

Hope you have a great week !!
