How is everyone going? All going well here. Still no morning sickness. I'm starting to think that I won't get any.
I haven't looked at mat bras yet but I think I will have to soon. I mainly wear sport bras for work and they are just getting too tight at the moment. It's such a relief when I get to the end of the day and I can take them off! It's great being in Darwin because the weather is warm enough that I can wear my bikini's when I get home for some comfort!
I'm definitely felling bigger in myself but not sure if it's from starting to show, being bloated or eating too much. I'm finding myself indulging in more food now that I can't drink alcohol! I'm guessing it's probably bloating seeing as though this is bub # 1 and I'm only 9 weeks.

MnM - I'm sorry to hear that your still spotting. Keep positive and hopefully it's nothing to worry about. My thoughts and hands.gif are with you.

Aaurora - I'm glad to hear that your scan went well. I can't wait to have mine and hear a heartbeat.

Carmen - Hope your kids get better soon.

waves.gif to everyone else. Hope you are all enjoying your Saturday nights.

BRONZE!!!

I'm way behind again and will get even more so. Am off to Sydney tomorrow for the week so want to wish you all a lovely week and I promise to catch up on personsals and everyone when I get back. Hope M/S is easing with you all. Mines pretty good at the moment.

Have a lovely week.

Evening all!!! grin.gif

Oh boy am i tired today, me feet are killing me!! massive night at work and was running around like crazy, so hard to keep up!!

i gave in and bought a mat bra today, my size hasnt changed too much 10B to 12C, but all my others where just too uncomfy, the bones killed me, and another i was wearing had no support, but now my new one, is super comfy and plenty of room to grow in... he he

Kymmy, just so ya know i have popped big time and this is my first! Yesterday morning woke up with a very differnt looking belly.., not just bloated looking, my hubby has noticed the difference as have the girls at work.... very scary... definatley would not have been able to keep it a secret till 12weeks...

so in saying that, all the pain that i was having in my lower back, hip and leg was for a reason.... dumb physio couldnt tell me why i was so sore...

my belly was popping.. ha ha ha ha

lol just have to share a funny with you, as i sit here on the couch i can see one of my cats on the table, getting into a 10kg bucket of biscuits... lol the lid is on and was sealed so she got it off her self... she is using her nose to life the lid up, sticks her head and paw in and takes a mouth full whilst scooping some with her paw... lol its the funniest thing... lol the cat is on auto feed, really cant be bothered to get up and tell her off... shes happy... ha ha ha

oh and this is bizzare, cats can sense so much, my eldest kitty roly, went to snuggle under the blankets some time this morning, but wouldnt lie right up close to my belly, and usually would... hmmm she must know that there is something in there... ha ha ha

i have my NT scan on the 5th, looking forward to seeing a baby and not just a smudge on the screen... have had the talk with hubby re results and tests and what we will do, so feel good now we both have agreed, even tho i am confident our bubba is going to be PREFECT!!!!

ok ok enough from me. about to stick my feet up in the air to help with the swelling...

Take care all

Hey guys

KNEW I would get behind - and I have, but never mind! New thread, new start right? tongue.gif

I FINALLY worked out my EDD today after being very unsure about all the dates and picking March as my "due in group" even though I thought it might be April. Seems the EDD is 29th March, so I picked the right one! Probably still come in April though laughing2.gif That's makes me 8 weeks tomorrow.

My M/S has eased off a little, so I'm hoping that might be the end of it. Wasn't too bad overall - hoping that others start to feel a bit better soon too.

Looking forward to hearing from the Midwifery Program to see if I got on. Apparently, they allocate places around 10 weeks, so that's just a couple of weeks more to go. Yay original.gif If I don't get in, I'm not sure what I'll do. I know I definitely don't want to go to hospital, so I might look at a few private midwives or even consider birthing at home with just our family. Lots to think about, anyway.

Belly rubs to all. Mine has definitely popped out to be rubbed original.gif

Morning girls!

Man that list is huge! ohmy.gif

Mandy, I hope all is ok for you sad.gif happy belated 1st birthday to your little man.

Aaurora, great to hear your scan went well and you saw your little one wub.gif

Carmen, oh no. Hope your kids get well quick. I heard croup is horrible

Kylie, how are you feeling today? have the cramps & sick.gif gone?

Emma, I see you got your sig working. I love that cheeky smile wub.gif

Carla, good luck with getting onto the midwife program.
Tellie2407
Hello hello,

Well not much to report here. Told mothers to advise family, which I believe they have. We have so far been left alone (thank gawd) aside from one quick phone call from one of DH's aunties. I'm surprised I thought we would have been answering calls from all over the shop.

Got a message on my Facebook from someone at work asking me if I am "carrying a little scone grabber". Am unbelievably p!ssed off. I haven't told anyone at work yet, & have been planning to wait until Thursday as my first appt is on Wednesday, but two women in particular are in my face about it constantly, going "why don't you just admit it?" & basically finding any way they can to tie in an "are you pregnant" question to any conversation I have with them. It is bordering on harrassment.

I can't believe how rude people are when you're pregnant. It's the most intimate thing & my decision to keep it private thus far should be respected. For all they know I could just be getting fat! And the fact that my husband & I had fertility issues is known to these women, so imagine if I wasn't pregnant how hurtful their questions & comments would be? It is so offensive. I must admit I'm not looking forward to strangers putting their hands all over my bump at the checkouts, which is what I've heard happens from several friends. I think there will be two rather "un-motherly" words which will greet anyone who dares invade my space like that!!

Ate fish & chips last night for dinner. Feel very guilty. Am making up for it by having grilled salmon & steamed green veges this evening. Aside from the fish there was absolutely no nutritional value in the dinner, & I am now feeling slightly constipated. Serves me right!
CandysFamily
Hello all waves.gif- I've been AWOL for a while, and I appear to have missed so much! Yes that list is getting huge TESS, let me know if you want/need to throw it back to me to do, thanks so much for taking it on to do grin.gif

It is very sad to see a few more names on the Angel babes list - hhugs.gif and hands.gif to you all - I hope you are all feeling well again soon. I think it is very important to have an angels list, maybe not for us left behind. But for those experiencing the loss, like I did earlier in the year, it was very important to me to see my name on a list. My pregnancy, however brief was acknowledged in a small way by someone putting it on a list. Know what I mean? It was all I had really, some things however small can be huge.

Anyhooooo, I am feeling well. Little bit green round the gills. Other than that not much else - except for getting fat!!!! ddoh.gif

Took all the kids on a holiday to the Coffs Coast - yes all of them - I don't know what I was thinking, but really a good time was had by all, I think I'll have to go back to work to get some rest though. Holiday took a lot out of mummy! One thing we did get to do, which was great was a whale watching cruise on a little catarmaran. The whales came right up under the boat, I saw a whales eyeball! Our autistic son loved it, which really amazed us as we thought he'd hate it! I got seasick for the first time ever though - WT?

So I hope everyone else is keeping okay - some of us won't be too far off having NT scans? Can't wait to see some pictures girls!!!

Oh - and when you all tell your secrets - I want to see you all in my facebook group!!!
Ceejay
mumma ♥
Tellie, I know what you're saying. People at my work are being jerks about it as well, talking about me being pregnant behind my back and one lady even told my BOSS before I had a chance to tell him! Thankfully he already knew we were trying as I have not hidden it from him, but I wanted to tell him in my own time, damn it. People can be so darn rude...so don't feel like you're alone!

Most of my friends though have been wonderful, as you'd expect from friends! Just crazy work people....grrr.
~~Kys~~
Hi Ladies

Sorry no personals tonight my mind is all over the place.

The cramps settled down thankfully, but the sick.gif feeling is still there if its not the i'm about to be sick feeling, then its the heartburn feels like its burning my throat and sucks feeling cry1.gif

We got told on friday a friend had their little boy on thursday or wednesday (i forget) who was 3/2wks early but good, and at term. Saturday we got another phone call saying the guys partner was back in hospital with the baby as it wasn't moving much which was a worry. then today we get told the baby has some type of infection but they couldn't get a needle in to get blood, so had to get blood through the head and most babies move while getting blood is being done but the baby didn't even flinch cry1.gif

Signs really aren't good for this little boy but sadly up until now they have no idea what is wrong and won't until tests come back tomorrow cry1.gif There was mentions of needing a scan of the bubs brain.

I so feel for this family at this time and bawled my eyes out earlier when i got told all about it and how they simply had no idea what might be wrong. Hopefully tomorrow we will hear that it is something simple and easily treatable with no long lasting effects.

It all makes me realise just how precious newborns are.

So thats been my day today feeling sad for this family, having dinner at mum n dads, and being so tired all day. Though i also sat and watched the swimming finals, how good was the ladies relay!!
Becca1605
Can I just say....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....I'm trying to keep up...just not very successfully!

I'm reading when I can but feeling sick.gif and am so looking forward to this stage passing!!!

I've got a trip to QLD planned to see my sister (and our last freebie trip for Hunter) on the 4th-8th sept. It's actually my sister's b'day on the 4th so we will be there for that. I've got my 12 week scan booked in for the 8th. I could have one at 11 weeks to check for anencephaly....but I'm too scared to have one on the 3rd before we go away, as if it's bad news I won't feel like travelling...so it's the day we get back now.....I'm hands.gif hands.gif that it's all good...

Kys - bbighug.gif that's awful for your friend. I hope they get some answers soon.

Tellie - rant.gif rant.gif about those people at work..how dare they!! But on another note, I never had anyone touch my tummy when I was pregnant with Hunter, except for friends who would ask first...no strangers so that was good

Ceejay - your whale watching sounds awersome!!

Aaurora80 - I can't believe people at your work behave like that too...as far as I know no one at my work knows yet...although I'm leaving at 2.30pm tomorrow for my first OB appt. so they may wonder why I'm leaving early (especially when I only work 3 days per week...bugger I couldn't get an appt. on a Thurs or Fri). I'm going to tell after we get the all clear for anencephaly.

Carla - good luck with the midwife program

Rhonda - enjoy Sydney

Kymmy - seems like you may have missed morning sicknes..half your luck tongue.gif

Jess - laughing2.gif at your tummy popping...mine is just fat still...I see you are delivering at Lyell Mac, where abouts do you live? I'm still undecided between WCH or Calvary.

Just sorting out hunter's birthday party invites so gotta run! Can't believe my baby is nearly 2!!

Hi everyone,

Sickness - mainly in the lunchtime and evening time. It comes in waves and I have not actually vomited. The bad thing is cooking dinner every night. Hate some food smells, especially oily fried - always loved - salmon and barramundi

Names- No finally decisions at all. I like Alex -Alexander/Alexandra for both a boy and girl as well as Marie/Maria for a girl. DH thinks it is too early to choose the names. Anyway we will keep searching soon ¦ just after the NT Scan.

NT Scan - waiting for the NT scan at early of September. I had already two scans and everything was going well.

Off to Sydney in the middle of September for traveling to Europe. We finally finished all booking and just looking forward this time.

Wishing you all the best

Lionel

Hi all,

Well im back from my holiday, and i have one killer of a cold cry1.gif feel like poop.

Decided i couldnt wait till next Thursday for my scan with all this spotting going on....so i called and the receptionist says she can fit my in tomorrow but wants me to speak to my obs who is operating at the moment so i have to call him later today....be good to finalyl find out whats happening.
Narm
WOW this group moves fast. Only joined you all on Friday and already I'm lost!

Went to the ball on Saturday - yes I was the "driver" so didn't drink. I did keep a tiny glass of wine in front of me and took a couple of tiny sips during the night (well just dabbed my lips really - didn't even have the desire for a sip - not like me) - just for looks really. Told DH to sneak a few gulps of my drink to make it go away. My tummy bulge definitely was there, so used all the tricks I had (tummy control pantihose, "super jocks" as we call them - basically those very unattractive body slimming pants. Helped, but I could still tell.

MnM - sorry to hear about the spotting, but please don't give up yet. I'm also having a lot of spotting - more than before which is a little worrying but I'm trying to stay positive. Unless there is a substantial amount of blood I'm just going to wait for my NT scan in a couple of weeks. I figure there is nothing that can be done at this early stage anyway if anything is wrong. Good luck to you. I see you are due on the same day as me.

Kys - sorry to hear what is happening to your friends and their little boy. I truly hope everything turns out ok.

Tellie - I agree with you about how rude people are when you are pregnant. I've had a complete stranger mention to me about being pregnant. OK I admit there is a little belly there, but really unless you are absolutely sure it is a baby and not just too many Tim Tams - keep your comments to yourself I say. I wouldn't dream of saying anything unless it was completely obvious the lady was pregnant. It only makes a very ackward moment for everybody.

Anyway, off to do some work. I can see I really need to try hard to keep up with this group.

Have a great day everyone.
MnM
spoke to my obs just now and he said he will see me for a scan in the morning about 10.30am so take it from there a i guess.
looking forward (in a nervous sorta way) to the scan tomorrow....stops the worrying. Nowi remember why i liked my obs so much first tiem round, he's such a nice guy, makes you feel all relaxed original.gif

Nanash: so will the NT be your fist scan or have you had a scan already?? our bodies are so cruel making go through all this bleeding and not know whats going on sad.gif

Lionel: where you going to in Europe? im from the UK, been over in Sydney about 5 and a half years...cant say i miss the cold over there!! anyway have a fun trip grin.gif

tess: thanks for the birthday wish....my little fella had a great day, got sang to by the whole of the restaurant and the staff and the chef brought him out a cake...the look on his face was magical - he adores being the centre of attention...my typical little Leo!

Well i guess i should wash some of out holiday clothes....feel like sh*te with this flu i have picked up and just cant be bothered blush.gif wacko.gif
LandShark
Good luck with the scan MnM - I'll have my fingers crossed that everything is looking good in there.

I'm having a crappy emotional day sad.gif.

Hi Guys,

Just popping in to let you know that I'm another one that will be leaving the group.

Due to personal reasons, we won't be going ahead with this pregnancy.

Goodluck to all you ladies with your pregnancies.
lionel
Hi MnM. Try to do not give up thinking positivelly. Good luck with a scan tomorrow.
I had two blood streaks during this period and had been warned by ob about a possible bleeding during the first trimester. Despite it happened it is a warning too. sad.gif

Oh, I love London. We were there last September, the weather was beautiful! Last days I was watching the video records from that lovely trip again¦ I like the European climate rather then Australian one sad.gif
This year we are traveling to France and Italy -new places for us and very nice places to visiting. grin.gif

Happy first birthday to your son and parents as well! Sorry I am a little bit late.

How well was a flight for you? Are you well experienced of flying during the pregnancy?

Kobella
I havent posted in a few days so feel a bit behind blush.gif

Had my family here for the weekend so we broke the news to them (as unfortunately its quiet obvious on my small frame that I have a belly sticking out already! ohmy.gif ). We also told the IL's and they said they had suspected for a few weeks now and were just waiting for the 'official' news laughing2.gif .

MS has all but gone but the hunger is still here! I am still eating heaps - every two hours I feel hungry!

Bubby76 - sorry to hear you are leaving us - take care.

I have been thinking a lot about the labour already unsure.gif - my last labour was actually ok - the only thing was that DS had such a large head he just wouldnt come down through my pelvis on his own. As a a result I ended up with a vacuum extraction and episiotomy. The only pain relief I had was gas. This time around I am really hoping to avoid all that and have a totally natural labour. The doc has mentioned that if I have a girl usually their HC is a bit smaller and therefore all should be ok. I wish where I live they had a birth centre. Being a smaller town our only choice is the hospital. Anyway - still a long way off I know ...

OK need to go prepare our dinner - roast pork with roast vegies - yum!
KaLeXa
hi ladies.... hugs to all of you who need it...

just a quickie from me, went to the dr this morning re the spotting and he sent me for a blood test just to check levels, results will be back after 3pm so i will come back and fill you in!

Levi came to the dr too, he had high temps while in Qld, then developed croup for a few days and now his cough is a really deep staining one ... dr says he has broncitis (?sp) and is on a/b for 10 days. If no improvement within 5 days he has to have a few lots of redipred.

Hi everyone

I have resigned myself to the fact that I cannot keep up with this thread! The days pass so quickly I forget to check in here...sorry guys. blush.gif

Sorry to hear that there are a couple of you leaving us, I hope you are OK. Take care.

I am so glad that some of you are experiencing bellies popping out already too! I am definately popping...no doubt about it now. My (.Y.) are huge too (well huge for me anyway biggrin.gif) so I will be going to invest in some new bras very soon. Everything seems to be happening so much earlier this time around, I feel like time is getting away already...

The nausea is still hanging around for me unfotunately, it's still all day. I had a bad couple of days Thurs / Fri but I now suspect that it was actually a virus on top of the MS because my daughter was vomiting a day later. Poor litte bugger.

Hope all of you are well and taking it easy when you can.

Back as soon as time allows!

Meg.

Thanks ~Tess~ yes finally got the sig working, no idea what I was doing wrong.....but was finding it extremely frustrating. Thanks so much for doing it for me.

Now if only I could get my ticker working up the top I would be right tongue.gif
~~Kys~~
Bubby76 sorry to hear you are leaving us, please take care of yourself during this time original.gif

Well we had our friends pop over this evening with his toddler to let us know they still don't know what is wrong with his newborn but he had good news that the brain scan came back fine, and he is out of the humidicrib as he is keeping his own temperature. I was stressing out all day so i was very happy to hear the good news!

I have another friend being induced tomorrow, i so can't wait till she has her little boy, another newborn to cluck over!!

kaylasmummy i have no idea how to do the ticker under the username either, i tried once then gave up.

pickledpeppers great to hear the bloods came back good for you!!

MnM goodluck with your scan tomorrow hands.gif you can see a heart beating away and a peanut doing somersaults! Sounds like your little boy had a fantastic first birthday!!

Landshark do you need some of the choc DP bought me today? Would that help your day?

Well today i have actually been feeling good, not too tired, but am set for a long night ahead of me sad.gif DD bumped heads with a little boy at kindy today right before i went to pick her and DS up (DS does occ care one morning a week at the kindy) and all she wanted was a cuddle but then started dozing so i sat her up and got her mumbling to me and she started being sick sad.gif and didn't want to stay for playgroup. So off home we walked me carrying DD while pushing DS in the pram ouchies to my back and hip!

Got home and DD just relaxed on the sofa then went with a friend to pick her best buddy up from school and had just over an hours play at his house, came home and fell asleep ohmy.gif so not like her to be asleep at 5pm, then she was up at 7.30pm and looked very very pale, DS was still awake and DP said he looked very pale too, so seems like tomorrow something is about to affect them cry1.gif they always go pale then the next day is the sicky day.

omg sorry such a long post but i tend to ramble on too much ph34r.gif

Hope everyone is going good and the ms settles for those suffering it soon.
LandShark
Kys - the choc would be much appreciated LOL!! DH is away for 6 weeks so I have no-one to bring me chocolate after a bad day!

It's day care day today - relief! Also MIL arrives today for a few days - I am going to ask her to help me out as much as possible cos I am so tired these days that everything seems like really hard work, especially when you are doing it all on your own.

I picked up my new car on Saturday though which is wonderful and I adore it so that's a lovely thing to smile about! I do worry about those new car smells when pregnant though - I am not going to Dr Google so it'll just stress me out even more!

Must dash, lunch box to fill!

Well im back from my scan....and i have to say my womens intuition fails me again tongue.gif first i saw a little hand waving at me wub.gif seconds before my obs located its little beating heart wub.gif
I swear i missed the line for the intuition, i was convinced DS was a girl, convinced this baby had misscarried and but nope, all seems good for now.
Once again im in love wub.gif

Ooooh wait till DS finds out....my little mummy's boy is gonna be sooooo not impressed laughing2.gif

Thanks for all your support girls wub.gif and good luck to the others who also had spotting bbighug.gif

Thats great MnM! How cute would the little hand waving at you of been!!! wub.gif wub.gif
kymmy81
That's excellent news Mnm! I'm so happy for you wub.gif
3greenhills
Thats great news MNM!!!!! grin.gif Im glad things are positive - now you need to remain that way!!!! laughing2.gif

Im at work, waiting for the assessment I have to do at 1, so Im surfing the net, eating cheese and cocktail onions.... probably not the best craving but its good!!!!

I had a person I call a friend call me the other afternoon, after I had gone to visit her, and she took the pleasure in telling me how fat Im getting - *** Im pregnant, and of course Im going to get bigger, doesnt mean Im fat! And the fact that I havent changed a dress size hmmmmmm!! Some people can be so tactless, I dont think I could ever do that to a person, it took all my might though not to say anything nasty to her, she is much much bigger than me, I just said ah well thats nice and changed the topic. It did upset me, but now I really dont care, thats why Im eating cheese!! Id rather be healthy than watching every little thing Im eating!!

Ok I feel better now its off my chest - back to my cheese and onions! YUMMY!!
MnM
Aww thanks girls, you're all lovely grin.gif

For a bit of bad news, i have a chest and sinus infection sick.gif so feeling like crap but nothing to do with my little beanie....got some antibiotics from my GP so hopefully that'll clear it up.


I meant to send an SMS to my DH to let him know how the scan went but sent it to my boss instead (who doesnt even know im preggers ddoh.gif ) what a twit.

Personals:

Loinel: Oooh i love Italy, my dads BF is italian and we used to go stay at his families house when i was a kid and get the best pasta cooked for us....yummmmmm.
Cant say im all that well travelled as a pregnant person...i did travel with DH a bit when i was having DS (dh travels a lot for work)...but with this one so far i've only been to Fiji so far.

Joanne-aden: yummmmm cheese and onions...ooh i want some now. Funnny with DS i ate a dove bar every single day blush.gif but with this one i cant stand the sight of chocolate glare.gif

Pickledpeppers: glad the test came badk good biggrin.gif

Buby76: sorry youre leaving, hope everything goes well for you grin.gif

lovaduck – I know what you mean about cats being able to sense things. My cat is really independent but for about 2 days before I went into labour with my daughter she was so sooky and clingy towards me. She was a completely different cat – like she was trying to protect me or something – knowing that it was all about to happen!

Becca1605 – My baby turned 2 today! How quickly they grow up! cry1.gif

MnM – I’m soooo happy for you! That’s wonderful news! I see you are going to the SAN too. You said your OB is wonderful – puts your mind at ease – wonder if he is the same as mine. mellow.gif

LOL about sending your boss the sms! What was his/her response?

As for me, I have been feeling a bit of sick.gif . Not too bad but enough to be quite annoying. I’m slowly starting to go off cheese. Craving tuna now! I know I can’t eat too much of it though. I started feeling like marshmallows today….. hmmm – wonder what marshmallows and tuna would tastle like together… ohmy.gif no – I won’t do it. Could go a pickled onion though!

KaLeXa
sick.gif oh ladies!!!!!! laughing2.gif

Just reading it all makes me feel sick!! Thinking about food, cooking dinner, smells of foods etc all make me feel sick sick.gif
Cant wait for this stage to pass i tell you now! wacko.gif
MnM
Im so lucky i dont have that sick feeling with this baby, i was full on vomiting every 5 mins by this time with DS and didnt stop till the day he popped out...but so far so good with this one grin.gif

cluckyduck: oooh wonder if we will be in the hospital at the same time? My obs is Dr Symington, in the rooms just over the road from the SAN. He's 'slowing down' as he put it next year so its actually worked out well that i have a baby now as no doubt if id have waiting till i wanted to have one in 2 years he would have retired...so thankfully i get to go with him again biggrin.gif

Hey girls! waves.gif

not much happening here.

Has anyone one else found the weeks are going by fast? They sorta seem to for me.

Mandy, that is great news that all is well with your baby wub.gif whoops about the sms

Ummm I will pass on the onions thanks sick.gif

Carmen, great to hear your test came back with good news

Ceejay, I don't mind either way really.

Kylie, that's good to hear about your baby's friend is doing ok.

Lionel, wow Europe sounds nice.

Landshark, I hope you are doing ok sad.gif

bubby76, sorry to see you go, hope all is well sad.gif

Kobella, I am up for a natural too. I am looking forward to the labour again (I was excited about it with Neve too) I only had Gas with Neve, so I reckon i can handle it. Especially if it is another quick one like the last (3.5hrs ohmy.gif )

Cluckyduck, happy birthday to your little one.

TICKER help: if you wanna post the code here I will edit it for you and then you can put it up as your byline. It is a very tricky thing wacko.gif
lionel
MnM, congratulations with great news! This is the big day for you.
I remember my first scan. My DH decided to come with me. It was unforgettable. rolleyes.gif

What was the response from the boss? …Somehow I worked in the retail company with a lot of outlets and sent a personal letter electronically to all shops directors instead of my DH. In response I received 50 answers straight away. It was really funny. biggrin.gif However it was another story not such as yours.

As to Italian, I am the Italian food addict and often cook something Italian. It is not from my experience just from the Italian culinary book. wacko.gif

Joanne-aden, I love the cheese and onions too. Now I can eat whole jar of a pickled tomatoes or cucumbers as well. Yummy! BTW in my childhood I could eat them not less… grin.gif

Thanks so much Tess, you're a gem biggrin.gif
..::mama::..
Good morning

I am feeling very chipper this miorning so I thought I would jump on here while the feeling lasts! Have only had mild nausea this morning, I managed to eat as soon as I got up so maybe that is the difference. And I had a good night's sleep, DD is slowly getting better so she slept better too. hands.gif that the nausea stays away!!

~kys~ - Sounds like your little one had a bit of concussion, poor thing. It must have been a helluva clash... Hope they're feeling better.

MnM - I cracked up when I read about your SMS to your boss, tell us what he/she said!!

Cravings - I can't say I've gone down the pickled onions road yet but I have definately been craving orange juice with LOTS of ice. And cheese. The worst thing about the cheese craving is I have been wanting that horrible "plastic" cheese stuff, you know the one - the slices are wrapped individually. I normally can't stand it because it's so processed and fake looking. Yeuch... blink.gif

Hope everyone has a great day... biggrin.gif

Meg.

Morning all!

I have been up since 6am with Levi wacko.gif I really wish he would sleep in lol And we have been watching Barbie on dvd ever since huh.gif

Plans for today? Hopefully a sleep later lol going to hubbys cousins 18th bday dinner tonight! What do you buy an 18yr old these days?

I'm feeling ok, took one of my morning sickness tablets as soon as i got up so maybe thats why!?

Hubby has 9 days left til he changes jobs! He works in a restaraunt so is gone from 2pm til midnight every day except Sundays and Mondays! His new job is day work in a restaraunt/cafe so it'll be great having him home of a night! Wont feel as thou i'm doing the parenting alone!

Morning girls.

I am another feeling great, I am saying it is cause of the weather, it is so nice and sunny today so here's hoping winter is going and spring is on it's way.

I got an sms from DH this morning to say that the car has yet again been broken into rant.gif Nothing has been taken thankfully, but this happened about a month or 2 ago and they stole the battery out of the car huh.gif DH is a baker so he works night shift so these things are more prone to happen I guess. This time the cops alerted DH so at least they are involved this time (we didn't bother last time).

Oh just a warning for those that have girls or that will end up having girl. pumpkin patch is bad dev (6).gif I fell under their trance last night and did a huge order ph34r.gif but shhh don't tell DH ssecret.gif

Good to hear some more of you are starting to feel better.

Have a great day!
