Good luck with the move Sara...
If I lived near Brissy I would come for a visit.
Stay safe.

good luck with every thing sara i'm sure we will eventually get to meet brisbane not that far from me

4kg lost Shazz... I am so proud of you!
I have not put on any weight.... yet... am trying really hard to be good this pg. But it is early days yet! and I am sure the MS is really helping out too.

~shazz~ · #5 (**permalink**) February 11th, 2009, 09:15 PM

thanks having gall stones and pancreatitis helps leanne but probably not the most popular way to lose weight lol people have started to notice so it feels good now

omg my DH just chased a BIG brown snake away from our front door i don't think i'm living the house again eeeeeeeeeek

~Kim~ · #6 (**permalink**) February 13th, 2009, 02:52 PM

Hey you guys, just catching up on posts....sorry i've been missing a bit....I am so tired at the moment.

Leanne, sorry to hear you aren't well at the moment.

Sara great to see you found a house. Best of luck with the move and the new start.

Shazz, man you poor love.

everyone else.

I have 3 weeks to go (yahoo), but a small person who is getting harder and harder to live with and IL troubles again! ....really looking forward to D-Day...who'd a thunk I'd ever say that again after last time?
I went through my bag with DH the other day. I made him sit down and see what was on the list so he knew what was needed. It's been ready since about 26 weeks, but he had to pack it by himself last time....and i don't want that again.

Poor buggar also had his Sergeant's exam today and he's rung me about 45 times to 'check up' on answers...I hate it when he does it cos he sounds so down when I tell him....hope he went alright. We had rain last night too...first time in months. Typical though we are supposed to lay grass tonight but becasue it was cyclonic last night they couldn't cut it and can't until Sunday night when DH goes back to work

murphy's law I guess.

Kim can you pls PM your home address and other details.... like email etc???

Hi everyone else. I am feeling rotten, so am going to go make some plain toast with a scrape of vegemite. Hope you are all well.

Oh, and happy Valentines Day to you all.....

leanne - fantastic to see that the pregnancy is still progressing well, hope the m/s eases up soon though. Well done to Katy and her big girl knickers!

Kim - my sister only has 2 weeks to go, there are babies all around me atm, I am loving it!! Wish I had one of my own though. Great to see that your little boy has hung on in there, I hope you get a great birth with this one.

Shazz - well done on the weight loss!

Sara - Hope your move is going well. Mabe Im gonna have to get a plane flight to Brissie one day....you will have to line up some cute guys for me.

Christine - Hope te new school year is treating you well.

My trip to Mildura was great, however my Aunties babe was stubborn, and come out the day after I came home! I met her this weekend, she is so tiny and petite with heaps o black hair, my cluckiness was ot of control LOL!

On Thursday I put an end to my marrriage. Was a very emotional time, however I am feling so good about my decision and am proud of myself for being so strong. Jay and I still get on really well whih is fantastic. Its funny though, al of a sudden I am cheking out EVERY male who walks by LOL. I am hoping i can find a nice family man in the next few years and settl down and have more babies....anyone have a man they can reccomend??

It is my sisters last ante natal class this week, she is 38 weeks today, I am beyond excited!!

Archie is loving Childcare, he pushes me out the door in the mornings!

Hope you are all well and happy xx

I lost you ladies!!
Hope everyone is going OK, sounds like a few illnesses

Shazz and Leanne hope you feel better soon.
Kim- so glad you have held on this long, he'll prob be late now LOL
Elissa- glad you are feeling positive and happy. Hope your sisters birth goes well.
Off to school now, more another time.

~Leanne~ · #10 (**permalink**) February 17th, 2009, 12:39 PM

My very best friend here at work who is 3 wks ahead of me lost her baby.
I am devastated.
It is going to be so hard for her watching me grow etc while she has lost her baby.
I feel bad as in the last week or so I have been saying how I am not sure whether I am ready for another one, and she lost hers and I didnt.

mrsmac · #11 (**permalink**) February 17th, 2009, 05:09 PM

Oh Leanne thats so hard, hugs to you and your friend.

~Kim~ · #12 (**permalink**) February 18th, 2009, 09:05 AM

Oh Leanne, that's awful. Having been in both positions though I understand. She's your best mate - she'll still be your best mate

Elissa I'm so glad you sound so positive hun!! Lots going on around you too. That's tops Archie loves daycare.

Shazz hows the pain chickie?

AFM. BP's up again - back on bedrest and heavy duty drugs...kinda over it. At least Cam had enough annual leave to take 2 weeks early - otherwise I had to stay in hospital.
Darcy is regressing a bit on the TT. Even though she's been TT for 6 months now all of a sudden there are accidents everywhere. We know it's an attention thing...but i can hardly reach my knees let alone the floor lol.

~shazz~ · #13 (**permalink**) February 19th, 2009, 08:20 PM

hi kim wow so close now
pain is not so bad at all i see the surgeon tomorrow though but i'm sure all will be fine and he'll send me on my merry way all bloods came back with indicators of gall stones and pancreatitis so it will be interesting if i have to have another attack or what will happen before they do anything i'll be in daily to do a kim watch from now on so excited

widdly · #14 (**permalink**) February 22nd, 2009, 01:17 PM

leanne - I am so sorry for your fried, please dont fel guilty about it though, we all have moments of not knowig if we are ready, this is not your fault, and im sure being the gorgeous caring person that you are you will make sure your friend isn't feeling too badly about your progressing pregnancy x

kim - thank goodness there is not long to go now! Sorry to hear that Darcy TT has regresed, Archie has too since ay and I split, Im sure once bub is here she ill go back to her old self.

I am going to the Melbourne BB meet up in June, I am SO excited, wish it were sooner though. Hoping to get my new car this week some time, fingers crossed.

~Leanne~ · #15 (**permalink**) February 24th, 2009, 03:31 PM

well I think the MS has gone for now, but I have had a migraine for three days. Is there anything other than Panadol that is safe. I can't really afford to take any more time off work...

Not long now Kim - hope you are doing okay.

mrsmac · #16 (**permalink**) February 24th, 2009, 04:17 PM

I took mersyndol when pg (I had morphine and pethadine too so I am hardly a poster girl for natural pregnancy LOL)

~Kim~ · #17 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 05:56 AM

Good morning all,

Just thought I'd let you know that my waters broke yesterday afternoon about 3pm. No real contractions since then....looks like we might be having another csec.
Been in hossy all night. Got Cam to bring in the laptop cos I figured I wouldn't be able to sleep - I did.
Poor buggar was in Sydney for my godfather's funeral when it happened....he got back here pretty quick though.

mrsmac · #18 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 06:30 AM

Oh no KIm! Will be thinking of you today, hope it goes well and your little man is in your arms soon.
