Due in March 2009

Hi ladies.

Hope everything went well with EQC Ange.

And hope you had a better day Rachel. Hugs, it must be so hard adjusting to a newborn and having your DH say mean things to you.

Took Cody to Motat today. He seemed to enjoy it but he was a little scared when we were in a crowd. The friend I was with said her daughter went through the same thing of being scared easily so hopefully he gets over it soon.

Have a landagent coming to show people through the unit sometime after 5pm tomorrow. Right on the stressful part of the day. Hope they came close to 5 and not much later. Also means I have to tidy the place up and keep it tidy. Seems like whenever I put a toy back in Cody's room two more come out to replace it.

Rose is doing good. She is becoming a little chatter box and is slowly learning how to hold a toy and suck it. She seems to really like sucking her clothes and hands.

Good luck with your hospital appointment Manda. How exciting that we may more newborn photos to cluck over soon.

I had similar symptoms I wouldnt go at the first hint and then I had no control over it. I think I was ok around home cause a toilet was close by but if I was out partcularly walking home from school I would never make it. My mum tried everything with me too. Have text my mum to ask how the doctor picked it up. I think I was still wetting when I was 7yrs old. Not saying this is wrong with Charloote but could be a medical reason?
Toni- Samantha is going through a scared at everything stage particularly anything her Dad has thats noisy eg. motorbike, lawn mower, chainsaw, I think it started because we had a jet boat which was pretty loud and I think she was really scared of it.

Oh no poor Caleb (and you GJen) Tessa was exposed to CP a few weeks ago and didn't get them luckily.

Went back to work today with Tessa as she still not 100% but will be back in day care tomorrow. Have to get her back sleeping in her own bed too.

Hmm Ange was it that asked, my new man does not have kids (wants some tho as i did ask him the other night i was like ahhhh hmmmm righty) we will have to talk about that one in the near future. Me and him took the younger 2 to the park on sunday and he was really into it and even pushed the pram haha, put up with some tantrums etc. Its going really well with him, going out to dinner and movies tomorrow night yay!!!! Oh he'll be 30 in september and he works as some electronicey guy, solders stuff or something, i keep forgetting

Oh 2pm already i really have to get off my butt and do some work roung the house.

Have a good day!!

or 6 or 7, depending on how many he wants!!!!

hahahahaha you girls are funny, i really thought my having baby days were over, we will see what happens i guess. Wonder what 2012-13-14 will have in store!!

Awww Manda i feel for ya hun, not alot longer to go now aye, try rest as much as pos (easier said than done)

Aww that sucks Jen, big hugs for you and your friend. What an awful year she is going to have, I hope that the treatment works for her.

Manda, sorry to hear your appointment didn't go well. Wow, its possible to measure at 45 weeks?? Hope that bubba manages to make his appearance very very soon.

Hope all the sick kiddies are feeling better soon.

Hey, Rachel and Ali, I'll most likely be in Masterton the week after next (Mon 13th to Fri 17th) because DH is working in the field for a few weeks in a row, and only coming home for weekends. I'm predicting I'll be utterly exhausted trying to look after Campbell, Squeak and myself all by myself, so thought I'd enlist my parents help for the middle week! Anyway... thought I could drive over to Lower Hutt one of those days, if you two are keen for a catchup. And of course, anyone else keen for a catchup who might be able to make it!

Hi ladies,

Haven't posted in ages!!!! Partly due to slackness and partly due to sleep deprivation/work! Kaia moved into her room over the weekend and the first couple of nights were a fiasco consisting of a lot of screaming from both children and very little sleeping for anyone Last night she slept right through though, yey!!! FX I don't jinx it.

Oh Manda, sorry you had such a crap appointment, and wow, 45 weeks! You'd think they'd want to whip that little guy out ASAP. Hang in there hun, the end is in sght!

GJen, sorry to hear about your friend, that's awful. I know how you feel, I have a very dear friend I've known since primary school who has battled recurrent brain tumours for about the last 10 years. One came back last year, grade 4. Was petrified she wasn't going to make it but she has just finished her last chemo and has been given the all clear! So there is hope, but it is a pretty sh!tty road to travel, and the damn things might come back.

Hope all these TT kids sort themselves out soon!!

How come the landagent is coming today Toni? Are you moving out or is the unit on the market?

Hope all went well with the EQC, Ange!

WWJen, wow go you on the cycling!! I'd be a tad sore after that too! How's that wee bean doing?

Ali, so glad the new guy sounds so nice!! While all these other ladies are shutting up shop, you might have to stay open now, hehe! I'm not shutting up shop just yet either, hoping to convince DH for one more in a couple of years

Right, better get going, BBL!!!

Oh Jen that is just awful about your friend, how on earth do you deal with something like that? I suppose you have no choice and fight it with all your might! That was positive news from queenbean though with her friend going into remission with a high grade tumor. Never lose hope!
Queenbean hope the nights start getting better for you. I am a bit nervous how I will cope with the newborn waking Samantha waking overnight. I didnt do too well the first time. At least this time I have learnt a lot of lessons though
Gosh Manda 45 weeks, that must be soo uncomfortable. I had Sam out by c section at 37 weeks, I suppose so long as its not putting you or baby in danger the longer he is in there the better.
Havnt heard from Rachel in a while which is unlike her, hope everything is ok, hope it didnt seem like we were bombarding her with advice about her DH.

well I figured out why it hurts - I don't know how I missed it before but there is a rather large cut on my nipple, about half a centimetre long and half a millimetre deep. It's not bleeding tho, but weeping which would be why the breastpad sticks to it I wonder how it's going to heal when he keeps feeding off it. Tried expressing but that's worse as the pump rubs on it... gtg just got puked on (he takes after Chelsea in that department lol)

Ouch!! Have you tried nipple shields Rachel?

Fingers crossed your unit doesn't sell for a while Toni.

Yay for the earlier date Manda, you must feel relieved. We will all be waiting excitedly for news of the new arrival.

We are planning a trip to Palmerston North from 15-20th June, anyone around for a catch up?
