oh don't worry about that! We're all having those moments. Some days it is really hard to focus on the good stuff, and not the struggle. I defintely didn't think this pregnancy would take so much out of me - being 35 and not 20 or even 25 has made a difference.
Plus you've moved - isn't that supposed to be one of the most traumatic things you can do during pregnancy?
My little project for the day has worked out really well, and I'll post more complete pics on my blog but here's how it ended up.

Oh Sheza, hope this week is a better one.
I pretty much just lay and bed and sobbed last Saturday because I was over it and completely terrified and it was just all too much. So hugs, you're not alone.

Hi girls,
Nice to see that most of you are well. Sorry haven't been on for a while. I had a lot to deal with. But nice to see that I am not forgotten.
Yesterday I have done huge cleaning and hurt my back. Plus I have a cold. with sneezing so much I get nose bleeds and it is horrible... Don't know how I will make it to work tomorrow. My head is exploding.
Seen the MW on tuesday and been told the bub's head is under my ribs and bum is down and she said that will hopefully change...
11 weeks to go and I only have a bassinete. So not good but when my mum arrives we'll go shopping till then the bub can cope (I hope)
Here are my two pictures that I couldn't choose between which one to put .... I am quite emotional, and undecisive in these days. Cried half hour today as the kitchen looked dirty when our next door came to ask something (crazy me????)

Good to see you Sheza - don't worry, I'm sure the emotional rollercoaster is something we can all identify with
Well, we got the windows done and I made my carrott cake. Kate, if we catch up at some point I'll def bring some - it's so easy and very yummy! I had a nap and am now looking forward to some homemade pizza.
Hope that baby turns Asli - plenty of time for that to happen.
I keep meaning to take some video of my tummy rippling and bouncing. DP took some of the heartbeat being listened to when the mw was here once and my sister in the UK loved it!

I love the pics of everyone, I wish I would get up the courage to take a pic - but I am not sure if I can......and I don't know how long it would take me to download on dial up.....
Anyway, I am jealous of those of you that can see ripples and bounces - I can feel all the feelings from the inside but am still waiting to see something from the outside (must be the amount of flubber in the way, grrrr!)
Well, must say although I have no idea what we are doing I feel like we are getting more and more organised....my list is dwindling. Still, it is sooo scary seeing what others are going through with their newborns and not knowing how to even comprehend it - let the anxiousness begin (I think it is something to do with me being the youngest in my family and not really ever having much to do with babies - super yikes!!!!)
Good night everyone - a good sleep wish for all

good morning peeps..
oh its like pregnancy blues aint it...so close yet still a little way away..
i was thinking gosh its the 8th today soon it will be the 8th if july and then BAM august!!
i am making a concious effort to keep upbeat today, think on the positive side as if i dont, i too have been sucked into this..'woe is me, hole'... and it is awful. what doesnt help is the fact i dont have a team of 'pick-me-ups' living with me, they are all emotionally dense males who have no clue!!!
my latest worry is when i will have bubs as my mum is my main support and will be here on the 6th till the 16th, with me due on the 8th ( or 9th, gosh cant even remember that!!!) so i gotta have it sometime then or i am screwed!!
its not so much that i need her at the birth ( of course i would love her to be part of it) its more her help at home that i will really, really miss. she is a major organiser and will have this place wonderful while i'm settling in with bubs....

Yep moving is very stressful lol, especially as we had hardly any help and the weather was awful the weekend we moved lol
The house is starting to feel more like home now though, so thats good! Im sure we will be fine without my brothers $80, just means a tighter budget.
Im feeling better today, last night I did a heap of washing and tidyed up our bedroom and moved the bed to where I want it(well DH did lol) so thats nice and clean now, and my washing is almost up to date, just got some towels to hang out.
Im going to have lunch with DH at 1, and Im going to bake some biscuits in a little while(afer caden is in bed).
Great pics Asli Stink that you have a cold, when I had mine I felt awful cos you cant take anything decent for them during pregnancy. Hope you feel better soon.
10 weeks to go for me, thats not long but seems ages lol, cos Im so over being pregnant and justw ant my little girl!

Wow, it's taken so long to log on ... I've forgotten what I was going to say!
Sheza, I hope that you're feeling better... time definitely seems to go slow when you're pregnant!
Re the laundry powder, we have been using the ecostore range since they changed the formula for cold water surf ... it really bugged dh's skin, and I must admit that while the ecostore costs a little more, I get heaps more washes out of it!
I seem to have caught a cold over the weekend, so apart from waking up four times a night (just as standard), I now wake for coughing fits as well! Isn't life great
My mw has sent my details to wgtn hospital, so waiting to hear from them to see what's next with the placenta praevia.
Have a good week!

Hello all - left work at 4.30 today. Feels weird... But i'm sure I"ll get used to it I like this working hourly thing.
We have our first antenatal class tonight - very excited!
My hips are starting to give me trouble at night - work up and the left one felt really sore, not sure what I did to piss it off - probably just slept on it

Hi everyone,
My hips are giving me gip as well Mollycat. It helps sleeping with a pillow between my knees but I get all tangled if I try to turn over in my sleep.
My bosses wife made me ring my mw today - she said I looked very 'puffy', which I probably did as I certainly felt puffy. My face felt a bit swollen, as if I'd been crying or something. MW isn't concerned though unless I start to get a headache and/or flashing lights type symptoms. She says my blood pressure has been fine and no trace of protein in my urine last Weds. Maybe the 13 or so kgs I've put on is starting to show in places other than my belly...
Been suggested though that I maybe reconsider my full time hours.

Hey ladies
Gardengirl, its nice that your bosses wife cares! Keep an eye on yourself though and make sure you ring your MW if your swelling gets any worse...
I am thinking my UTI has returned, I am feeling really crampy and sore...and it hurts like heck to go to the toilet!

Asli, Caden was breech(head up bum down) at 32 weeks, and he turned back round by 35 weeks, and he was a big boy, so dont worry. What you can do to help is swimming, straddling a chair and getting on your hands and knees as much as you can.
Rach, ouchies about the UTI, some AB's will sort it out, I know I have to keep an eye out for UTI's cos I had one the start of this pregnancy.
I hope you have fun at AN class mollycat
Here is my 30 week bump! Its so much smaller than with caden!

Can't remember who was feeling completely over being pregnant the other day (and no doubt I'll get locked out if I try to go back) but I'm with you.
Woke up today with ... TMI... a bleeding gums, nose and bottom, spewed for a solid hour this morning, have leg cramps, no clothes that fit and am sick of feeling like I'm losing my mind! I just feel like a blimp... And I'm sick of being completely emotional. Sorry that's my rant for today.
I'm hoping tomorrow is a better one :) and that others have had a good day

I think we are all at the stage of having problems.
I have sore hips since last month, and had the bleeding bum thing.
My sinus problem still here and causing nose bleed everytime I sneeze (I am not even talk about the bladder leaks while sneezing LOL)
I have my AN class tomorrow and little bit worried as I look horribly ill. Oh well hopefully will have better days over the 6 weeks period.
I recently get this urge the push the baby out. Is that weird?
Hope you guys all feel better soon

Hi everyone,
Trying very hard to catch up on the posts but finding this website very fustrating.
We had a wonderful weekend away but it is really good to be home. glad to hear you got your parcel mollycat. Did you get yours Smurfling???
I am feeling great at the moment. Just getting rather tired again. But that is to be expected.I suppose. i have changed midwives as I h\found out that there is a hospital midwife who comes out to our area once a week so I have chnged to her. she is great and now i am down to two week visits which is good.
i have declined the poly glucose test, so I am not having to worry about that.
Anyway I hope that they are going to sort the problems out with this site soon it is very fustrating.....
Hope everyone is having a good week.
