Saying bye bye for now

So went to help my folks with the last things and sort out the dogs while the movers were packing. My poor mom, she is in such a state, she doesn't handle stress well and moving is stressful. They have been in that house for 21 years and sorting 21 years of stuff out has taken a year and today loads was chucked. Loads into my car (thanks mom) ,not, as she decided I must have this stuff. Life where am I going to put it and what would I do with it! Funny, but will pass it on the needy after a couple of months. I am sure they won't miss it when they come to visit!

The people who were moving in officially can move in tomorrow and organised a company to put a pool cover on and ADT to come install an alarm at the same time the movers were moving everything out. I mean how dumb are some people. So had to take the dogs to the main bedroom so they couldn't get out and the pool people took so long, they pee'd on the carpet ... whoops! I tried to clean it, but half the detergents were packed, but ummm what did they expect? hee hee I think it is funny! The dogs telling them what the thought of them ...

At least my 1 sister was driving down with the folks to help them unpack! My poor folks! Are so knackered! Their cars were full to brimming. I gave the dogs Valium (as per vets prescription) and it worked on the little dog, but not the bigger one. Hope the journey down goes ok!

Can't believe an era has passed now ... time for new and time for changes! Good changes I hope!

Blue Monday

Had to go get bloods today and the roads were a mess thanks to an accident on the highway and the on ramp just up from us being closed. So that took a lot longer than planned and was damn sore, stupid nurse must have also been having a blue Monday too. Eventually get home and go switch on my pc that has been at Acer for repairs for a week and .... (drum roll) it still won't switch on? The people at Acer literally told me I was smoking my socks cause all was ok! So I phone them and now they have to send a technician around... Tomorrow ... I am out all morning helping my parents move, so they had better come in the afternoon. Then plugging in my old pc again, I kept bashing my head. I hadn't eaten and it was 9:20 and I am a grumbly plank if I don't eat. Oh plus my boss phones in the middle of that all wanting info that I can't give him as it is on my pc that won't start! And he doesn't quite understand the concept of ... not starting ... so no info! Sigh! So all in all I am grumpy!

We had a good weekend I guess. G is sick and passed his cold on to me. Mine is just a sore throat so can handle it I think! Neither of us has been doing much exercise and G still has to loose 5kg and he is so bad when it comes to chocolates and cakes, add that to no exercise and ...yup the kg don't go!

I'm going to miss my Mom.

TGIF

G had a cold from Wednesday and I dosed him up madly and he seems to be on the mend. This morning I wake up and I think ... oh crap .... I am getting it and there is nothing I can do, except have hot toddy's minus alcohol, but add ginger!

We have my folks farewell dinner tonight and I am ready to curl up on my bed and stay there for the rest of the weekend! Not go anywhere. Then tomorrow night we going to Pta to watch an ocean thing at Imax in the evening, just for hubby dearest as he is dying to go, poor man is addicted. Then Sunday we supposed to be going to Miracle Waters for him to do another course, but he thinks he is still a bit too sick so might cancel. Yes, yes, yes, that is the last thing I feel like doing, is socializing with strangers when I am feeling under the weather!

I got my pc back from Acer just now and I want to go back there and jump on the technicians head. The dumb idiot tells me that everything I reported was fine and my pc is working and he has no problems starting it and I think great, just typical of stupid Murphy's Law. I bring it home, plug it in and ... you got it ... nada, not a thing. Then eventually it just booted on it's own?????? I just want to scream, why do pc's do this to me? I must say it is nice to have a modern pc that works fast back, but geez it better start behaving!

I met a new customer today and they are oh so cool, found out they actually make the capsules for pregnavit, how weird is that? She was so nice, I am so used to walking into these companies that are in the dodgiest parts of the city and have these yukky men who think they are God's gift and I must just bow down to them, or they think woman are inferior and can't be bothered with me. I only have a handful of woman and when they nice it is even better.

Wow

It is amazing that 3 of us on our forum are pregnant around the same time. Now I want more? Am I greedy. I want another at least 3 if not more in the next couple of weeks/month! I am greedy, I want to see my cyber friends happy and pregnant too. Please please please God, Please let these lovely ladies fall pregnant soon soon so we can all have babies around the same time.

Now a nother part to my story ...

My best friend of what 21 years (yikes that makes feel old) and I happened to fall pregnant 2 weeks apart last time. She had no clue she was and I knew from 4 weeks 1 day? So when she said she wasn't feeling right and AF hadn't arrived, I told her to go get a test, which she eventually did about 4 days later and then only tested 3 days after that (see me, I would have and was testing from day 1) and then didn't believe that the 2 stripes actually meant she was. She was in denial. Don't blame her for many reasons (not my place to go into), but she was so unhappy about being pregnant and I was so happy about being pregnant, but we could walk the road together and it was such a nice feeling to hold someones hand and visa versa along the week by week pregnancy walk!

Then when I got to my 12 week mark, I lost my little 1 and I thought life was so unfair, how could someone who didn't want a kid keep theirs and me who wanted a kid so bad, loose mine? Why was God so unfair,? Such a mean ungodly thought? I didn't think like that for all that long, as I saw changes in her. I have seen her grow and seen her bond and see her care and my heart goes out to her. She is such a strong person, with many challenges in her life and she keeps plodding on. I believe things happen for a reason and God gave her this little 1 for many reasons and I can look back and see that now! More clearly than I could before. She needs this LO in her life to help her along her path. She is due in 8.5 weeks and I so wish I was closer to her to be with her. I hate it that she lives so far away.

She said to me today, notice how we talk "shop" again ... I felt so guilty, I knew but didn't realise how I spoke baby with her, but only half heartily. I am sorry my friend. Please forgive me. Forgive me for being selfish, I didn't mean to be.

All sorts

Olive is hysterical. My little bird is going through I assume nesting season and I bring her out to the grass outside my office and let her play in the grass. The mad little nutter has dug a hole so big that I can just see her little bum and tail sticking out as she digs. They must nest underground?

I am not enjoying this weather! I love summer, summer is my friend! It is so nice out there in the sun, I wish I could take my pc out and work out there, my office is in a garden flat at the bottom of our garden and the sun doesn't come anywhere near it in winter. I just freeze 100%. Plus I have bad circulation and my feet get it the worst, so I have a bar heater on, but I feel it is too early for a bar heater!

I am 5 weeks today and it is scary. I feel calm, but scared at the same time if that makes sense. I am not sick yet, last time I had the worst morning sickness ever and I am usually a pukey person, any smell any gross looking thing ... yup I gag and then hurl. So I am confused with this one. Maybe it will come later, or maybe I am lucky and it won't come at all. Plus I have no problem with eating, I eat constantly, last time I could not eat other than rusks and dead dead meat? Should I take this as a good sign? But I feel ok and feel all will be ok this time around.

I went to get progesterone suppositories today and ended up taking to the pharmacist and she said she was on them for all of her pregnancies. She said she her 1st pregnancy she gave birth at 28 weeks and her little baby girl died 6 days later. She said she she thought the world had ended and she found God again and he wouldn't give us anything that wasn't meant to be. Which I agree with, but hard to swallow sometimes. She said she now has 3 kids and wonders why she worried so much before. Just always nice talking to people who know! Who have been through things ... people that haven't just don't understand at all. They think they do, but they don't ... only a few people do and those people are special! Then the ladies who have and are supportive are just the best ... who could be more special than people who have been through the same or worse! I have met a lot of you ladies recently and you mean the world to me already! Thanks!

Weird

How is this for weird!

I had my D&C for my angle 13 January 2009

Little baby S is due 13 January 2010

My grandfather's b-day was 13 January

I know babies don't come on their due dates, but I am taking this as a good sign!

It was G's birthday on Saturday and I was very romantic, I bought him a chain saw .... but that is what he wanted, funny man. Friday night we went out with friends and Saturday night I took him to the Fat Olive, I love that restaurant! Then yesterday we had a combined birthday for him with mother's day at our place for tea, it was going to be 8 people and turned in 15, was crazy, didn't know I had enough coffee mugs until yesterday! At least it wasn't too cold inside and we could sit on the patio, don't know if everyone would have fitted in our lounge! Was a good afternoon, just so many people at once is overwhelming. I am not good with lots of people ... wish I was, but can admit I am not.

It is so cold in my office, I must go sit in the sun and warm up now!

Was hoping, but not expecting

Every month it is an are we, aren't we thing and it drives us all bonkers right! Wel this month I thought there is absolutely no chance at all that we are pregnant! We were BD for fun not for conceiving this month and on Sunday I woke up in agony, my uterus felt like it was being beaten up by a baseball player! Ow ow ow! It eased, but didn't go away the whole day. Monday woke up and it was gone, so thought implantation or AF arriving! But was betting on AF!

Tuesday I go belly dancing and feel all of AF in her glory on her way.

Wednesday AF was meant to arrive but decided to take a Clear Blue HPT and it said positive! hee hee! So I thought hold on a minute, so tried a Clicks 1 and it took longer, but also came back positive, so I went to my homeo to take blood and today I get back the results today and my count is 444.5 and she says I am 5 - 6 weeks, but I know I am only 4, but it was such a surprise cause I wasn't expecting it this month! Thank you God!

I am sure it was the agnus castus sorting out my hormones.

Today I feel that pressure! I can't explain it, but it is a different pressure, I felt it last time and only feeling it this time do I remember that feeling! Then thinking back on holiday every night G & I would watch TV and I would be fast asleep on his chest by 8pm, which is not like me, I normally hold off till 9:30pm haha.

Now going to get my progesterone tested tomorrow and see how it goes! Pin cushion time again!

It is 6 months since I fell pregnant with Splodge. The due date of this little 1, all going well is 13 January 2010. Yikes!
