Gold! Woohoo

Nervy - hope you're ok, hun. Have been in my thoughts & prayers regularly xx


Random crazyness- had dreams last night that woke me up so many times, kept dreaming went for extra scan and baby turned out to be a boy (was told its a girl) and that I had to have the baby in Cairns even though live in SE Qld and have never been there, and that it had to be a C-Sect due to stitches from who knows what. Lol!!

I do have extra scan this ave to monitor thing in placenta... so hopefully all good, and will get them to double-check they still think its a girl hehe

Silver! Yippee!

Hope everyone is well. Hoping from good news from Nervy soon.

As for me - started to feel my first kicks yesterday. Not that many but certainly more than the flutters/bubbles I had been feeling. It was nice as hubby was with me when they happened.

Hope everyone has a good week

Bronze!

Had a rough morning this morning... decided to attempt to clean the house as my doula is coming over to meet me on the 6th of March (Yes, it is going to take that much time to make my house presentable as I am a huge slob).

I started with the spare room, because I noticed a funny smell. This is where I keep the kitty's litter tray, so no surprises there... however, even after doing the scoop and clean, the smell was still there. So I continued to clean, bagged up all my washing (contemplated setting it on fire as there are about 10 loads), and I came to a little basket in the corner of the room (where I keep all my gift bags) and discovered that it was entirely full of poop. There must have been 12 poops in there! ARGH

So angry with that little cat right now... and what's worse is she is smelling around the area where the basket used to be (probably being sad that her weird poop stash is gone and considering making another one).

*sigh* I'm never going to get this place clean

Good Morning Ladies!

Nervy - Hope you're doing OK. Fingers crossed that no news means things have eased up and you're busy feeling great with the family.

I went over my download cap this weekend, so my internet is a bit slow. Thankfully the rollover is in 3 days!

Had my 1st appointment with my Ob on Thursday. He's really nice! Yay! I was a little nervous, but I'm looking forward to having him as a Dr now.
I'm booked in for my glucose test on Friday. Acually, this is the first test I've gone for during this pregnancy where I'm not concerned about a positive result.
After all the other stress, finding out I have GD is really not a problem. I already eat like a diabetic, since i have a history of PCOS and type 2 diabetes is a long standing factor in my family.
I just really want to avoid another giant baby.
4.6kg (Or 10 pound 2 ounces)

Now the end of the 2nd trimester is nearing, i feel great! Not too tired, not sick, not sore.
Just in time to start with the giant, sore, tired, hormonal, squashed bladder again or the 1st trimester.

Side note: DH is pretty happy with the responses of his unborn son. Bub got very active yesterday after I ate hotdogs for lunch, had a small icecream after dinner and especially, during the action sequences of Fast and Furious last night.
You could almost time the pressing of the accelerator and the corner turns.
It felt bizarre and hilarious at the same time.

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend and have a great week.!

Oh Nervy hopefully no news is good news and you are resting up.

Boyz Mama lol I have been having weird dreams too, crazy isn't it. Do you have the follow up scan soon or later in the pregnancy?

Tigers- Yay on the kicks, feels lovely doesn't it.

Relly oh that would have made me sick! I'm like you and have a time frame for getting this place sorted thanks to an inspection on the 5th. I thinnk my worst rooms will be the kids rooms lol but I want to organise as I clean and junk some of the clutter- my fault for the clutter though.

Miz oh no, at least the slow net will only last for three days. Good to hear you feel comfortable with the DR, makes things a lot easier. Sounds like you have an active lil one in there!

AFM- I've not been feeling well, hot flushes (don't remember those previously), migraine that just keeps coming back, and just feel really low. DP got in from work last night to find me lying in bed having just been woken by my head, must have worried him as he asked if he should take me to the hospital as the tablets weren't working. I finally got back off to sleep after two hours of trying to cope, just to wake this morning feeling the same so I got the kids ready and went back to bed. I've woken and now my head is only a dull pain but I can't get into my gp and don't want to go anywhere else as it's my mums birthday today so we are off there for dinner.

Hey all,

I hope your doing ok nervy...

Sorry no personals as i am on my phone. Just having a read and a stalk.

Afm i am at the moment in maternity had heart palpitations over the last few days so they said to come in and check it out due to my previous history of heart flutters. Everything seems ok...bub is doing wonderful just waiting for a review by the Dr.

[bettinae]

Hello loverley ladies xx
Nervey sending lots hugs and prayers xxxx

I am just going to unload SORRY

I have just about had a full melt down I think...this work sh*&^% is just not cutting it I had 8 straight afternoon shifts and keeping in mind that that intails 1.5 hours travel each way ....my little one has just started kindy and isnt coping well at all.... bad tantrums in the morning so to help my self I have jumped on to affo and night doulbles so it just travel there once and staythere 16 hrs and then home and not back till 2pm the next day..... But its killing me I just can't do this .... I am not getting any sleep and I have had mu mother(if thats what you call her) here in the morning so I can home and go to bed ( ) right she is as usefull as an ashtray on a motor bike....!!!

DH had to come home from work this morning to get them off to school because she was here and I was just sooo tired I was crying and she was just standing there and my little ones were crying....

I think that broke me today......

One of the demons that I have and am trying to deal with is that....I hope that its ok to talk about that I won't offened anyone or upset them...???

when I was pregnant with baby Michael I had a little well at the time what I thought was a lot of ristance that I was pregnant I felt like I had to prove myself and pushed myself beyond what I was capable of and still 10 years later blame myself that it was my fult from pushing myself that that was why he was taken from me....and I am scared that I know that I am pushing myself and that the same thing is going to happen I know that I am pushing......

I am trying to get my head around the fact that I should ask the Womens union for help but I am scared to ask because it shows or makes me think that I am weak ...I know sounds silly but thats how I feel...

I just want to run away at the moment I am soo tired and just keep it togeather...I feel like it is just to much to juggle and I am going to colloapes and drop all the balls that I am juggling.......any advice my loverleys would be great... x

I cant go in leave as it will use all the leave and I want to save some for when the bub is born every1 in this house is suffering DH and the other children and me.......


I am sorry to rant I just dont know what to do...????

bettinae: First of all...big hugs coming your way...I am sorry that you are having to go through everything at once, I can imagine it must be very trying for you.
First though, I want to say as much as you may feel that you will be deemed as weak by contacting the womans union, your not. It takes one person to stand up and use their voice to ensure that wrong doings do not occur again. From my personal experience I recently stood up to a nightmare of a boss by putting in an official complaint about her management of certain situations, it will not result in anything to benefit me, but it made the head honchos aware of her, and maybe just maybe there will be a re-shuffle and my work friends will get a better working life.
I understand that leave is not an option, but you do need to take some time for yourself and look after you...for your own sanity...even if its a nice bath or an hour to yourself to read a book or dream about your baby.
I hope that you have some relief soon.

Nervy, hope everything is ok xxx

Jmaz, hope your ok and feeling better! I feel quite lucky atm, everything is going smoothly for me finally. Hearing how much everyone else is feeling it makes me appreciate how lucky ive got it now that 1st trimester has passed (touch wood!)

Bettinae, somethings got to change. Clearly its not sustainable. I feel exhausted just reading what you have been trying to do. I can understand how u feel about your previous experience and loss of little Michael. Whilst I don't think you should in anyway blame yourself for losing him, I think the fear is understandable and it makes it even more important to look after yourself.

I know that ur little one is struggling with kindy but it doesn't sound like doing the double shifts is really changing that and the more tired you get the worse she is likely to act up. Perhaps going back to single shifts is what needs to happen and hope that they will adjust. Does the kindy teacher have any suggestions on how to help this?

I know you don't want to take leave but perhaps sick/stress leave/leave without pay? Maybe reassessing your financial situation and look at exactly what you 'must' do to get by. I'm not sure what your DP does but is there anyway his work could be flexible to work with you on the school prep etc. Also have you spoken to your manager about your situation and see if they are willing to work with you to work out a roster that will suit you best or ask work collegues to shift swap?

I don't know if you've already exhausted these options but theyre my suggestions. I hope you work something out soon because it sounds really really hard right now. Thinking of you xxx
