AUG 08 - Here we go again and again and again...

[TwilightSurfer]

Seriously!

Hector has a bedroom!! All sorted I just need to get some wicker boxes to fill the shelves and we are done. Her little clothes are hung up or folded - new one still in their packages as I fear I am having a Dizzy sized baby.

In fact it was DD1 who demanded change

Well done on the nursery oops. Tonight is the night, i predict . Are you going for a HB or am i way behind?

No, no HB. I want drugs am also group B Strep++ so need antiBs in labour. DH would freak at the mess. BUT delivery suite has just had WiFi installed so when it happens you can all join in!

oops have you had a massive growth spurt in the tum since miamla's wedding? I would have loved to have been as (relatively in pregnant terms) petite as you were at 33 weeks!! I am a breeder of giants too - though not as big as Dizzy's biggest!

sitting here in tears after dd has been - sorry - a horrible horrible little shit all day ( i am not one to swear at or about my kids but there is no other way to describe it). I am not coping, her tantruming is rubbing off on ds and i feel like a giant fat failure.

Apparently my aunts are coming to see me on tues beginning to wonder if it's an intervention

Dizzy - what are they planning - taking you away and forcibly sterilising you one DC4 is born? Or are you going to get 'the talk' about responsibility to the children you already have?

ALBS - not grown too much but definitely bigger.

LOL Dizz, write down their evil plans on here and we will have it ready for DH the fuzz when we are interrogated

Sorry to hear you have had a crappy day ALBS. The age of trying to assert some independence i think? You are not a failure, just a concerned mum running a busy household

ALBS - please don't feel like that, kids are designed to test you at EVERY opportunity! Remember she's only just home from the excitement of Disneyland and back into the old routine - take a deep breath, remember she loves you and that this too will pass

oops do you really think you're on for a 10lber?! start taking your arnica now my darling!!!

feck knows what they're planning, it may well just be a guilt trip but at least DH is off on Tues as well so I'll have witnesses! Lordy, my aunts on Tues and my dad at the weekend - if this doesn't send me to a padded cell then I'll be quite pleased.
I forcast a lot of this and this and this over the next week

so, tell me, if I just leave them upstairs killing each other will it make bedtime go more smoothly?!

Oh albs poor you. I deeply sympathise, having had a hell of week here with ds1. He and I seem to rub sparks off each other at the moment. It'll pass, it'll pass - you know it - and you just have to love them through it.

dizzy - fortitude m'dear

oops - I thought you looked magnifique at the wedding too. What are weight predictions?

oh and Oops, DH is going to have a word with the surgeon about having my tubes tied/blocked and thrown out when they're in there this time

DD in bed, DH has dissapeared and I am watching some crap on the telly about women who had no idea they were pregnant until they gave birth.

LG - they predict at 36/37 weeks she is 6lb 12ish so another couple of lbs before due date possibly more if she is late so between 8.5 and 9.5lbs. But I don't know scan are so often wrong and they have a 20% error margin atleast at this stage.

ALBS - at this stage girls (and boys) have a hormonal surge which can turn them into teenagers for a little while. Having worked with a number of 7 year old girls it can be hell but it will pass.

Dizzy - d'ya need anymore witnesses? I fancy a Scots baby

Tomorrow MrsMiamla has been married a whole month

Dizzy - you do realise they won't do it at section as the failure rate is about 40% due to pregnancy pushing things out of place and waterretention/swelling.

oops, DD1 was predicted from a scan at 6.5lb at 35 weeks and was born at 5.7 at 36 weeks

lady i have a camping thread you may be interested in. or not

marvellous Oops - come on up, can highly recommend the babies that this area produces!! and I didn't say I wanted them to do it - if I have to do all this nonsense 4 times he can at least get the snip

and I was predicted a big 8-8.5lb baby so have NO faith in their ability to predict sizes. DD3 should have been the biggest due to the addition of GD however I knew she was smaller - this time I shall be a tad more vocal about it all

So it's finally sunk in then dizz?

ask me again on the 19th

now, where has everyone gone, we're missing a few are we not?

No1 - am missing you loads, please check in and let us know you're ok

ataraxis/Nutty/Steaky/LOTI et al - come back to the fold at any time and raise youre eyebrows in an affectionate manner at my our gibbering nonsense

They'll tie your tubes while your still wide open from a csection here. Doc asked me before he started prepping my "closure". I've never been so damn mad in my whole life. AS IF you ask a lady amidst a traumatic experience if she wants to be sterilized! I think I yelled, "JUST CLOSE ME UP PLEASE!"

ALBS you seriously need to reflect on things. I swear your dd1's dealing with a growth spurt again. Can you imagine what it feels like to be small and suddenly grow. We all know what it feels like to body change due to pregnancy and we use that excuse sometimes when we aren't "polite." Kids don't have the ability to figure that out. I'm not saying to allow her to be a monster but if you can find sly ways to help comfort her. With my dd1, if I clue into the nonsense, I try to speak softly at all times; I give her Motrin a couple of times a day; I provide high protein eats during that period; I offer as much rest AND outdoor play as possible; and finally, I limit the restrictions ever so slightly. Mine doesn't realize at first how terrible she's being but I keep gently trying to reach her to explain with incredible results (at least lately). All my best to you. (((hug)))

Singapore I'll admit I too thought you looked pretty HOT in those pics.

CRISPY I hope our spot is far enough away but I fear all the seafood prices will be through the roof due to the spill. Of course that doesn't effect my eating habits at all.

So you ARE having a baby!!

Oops how nice to think that even were she born now, at 6lb she would be a strong little thing.

who's having a baby ?!!?!?!

baby who mentioned baby ??? You having a baby Dizz?

nope!

Phew - I though there was someone on this thread having a baby

you having problems too Oops? try lying on your left hand side, helps you pump

All this trapped wind is making me bloat terribly - will try the lying on my left - thanks for the tip
