I'm jealous of a London meet up.

 

[VGibs]

Me too!!!!!!! Mind you I am a super moody cow and the universe seems aligned against me at the moment LOL


So we told Aurora *my oldest* that we are having a new baby. She was not excited. I was kind of hurt. She said that I already work so hard and that if we have another baby I will have to work harder and be even more tired. Which makes sense. Ian and I have been toying with the idea of me staying home after this baby. I don't know if we can afford it yet but we are for sure looking into it.

Lucy and Sassy, sometime on Friday the 8th then? As that will probably work better for Lucy. Hopefully we can get Nato and anyone else in the area to meet up as well.

We booked our tickets today, so it's confirmed we will be in London from noon on the the 7th to the 9th, and then get the train up to Edinburgh on the 9th sometime.

I'm very excited!!

We have a layover in Paris as well. The cheapest tickets had us changing planes in Paris (when I checked before it was Amsterdam but today it was Paris) so I had just had us stay there overnight. I have a good friend there from college whom we will see.

Hearty and Gibs and everyone, I wish you could be there too!

 

[Allie84]

Hi Hearty!! How do you live without internet? Ahhh!!

Gibs, she sounds so practical and grown up! I'm sure it's a bit of surprise but it will sink in and of course she will love her little sibling!

Friday the 8th

What do you want to do?xx

 

[Sparkly]

Awwww I wish I lived down London. I hope you have a great disco meet up, take plenty of pics

Ginny - I'm sure that Aurora will come around and start getting excited, it's a big change for her.

AFM - One week on with this chest infection and I've still got it I've just finished my antibiotics, so I may need another course. Is this normal to struggle to shake things off when pregnant? I can't remember!! Both babies are doing well, I have a listen in with the doppler every few days or so, they sometimes hide in unexpected places lol! I found one near my hip bone yesterday and the other right in the middle, they are normally one on each side, I imagined them snuggling....but more than likely one was probably booting the other out of the way

I have now officially passed my milestone and this is the longest lasting pregnancy since my DS, I'm beginning to get slightly positive

 

[heart tree]

Oh Gaynor, what wonderful news that you passed your critical point! And you are in the 2nd tri too! Wow!!! I think it's very normal to have trouble shaking off an illness. Those babies are taking all of your immunity for themselves.

Gibs, it would be awesome if you could stay home. That's very sweet and observant of Aurora. She's being protective of you. I'm sure she'll come around and be excited.

Allie, I wish I could meet you guys in London! No internet has been excruciating! Damn, baby is crying and Tim is in the shower. Have to run. We're going to a 4 year old bday party today. Will write more later. xo

I ended up going to emerg in High Level yesterday so Kash and I could see the doctor. All of a sudden I am back to being sick again, ugh! And I hate the cough that Kash has. Since it's been an off and on thing for over a month, I had a breakdown friday night and said enough. It's just a nasty virus going around this town that we can't get rid of. Kash is on an inhaler for now, as well as nasal spray so hopefully it helps. He thinks I have chronic sinusitis but can't do a ct scan on me right now because of being pregnant, and suffering from allergies as well. Either way, I am screwed because I can't take anything from being pregnant. So he just has me on nasal spray right now and told to take lots of vitamin c. Hopefully we can kick it all soon.

I can't wait until my ultrasound on Thursday! Kash says he is excited when I ask him about seeing the baby, and he says girl when we ask him if it is a boy or girl....so we will see if he is right or not

It's a holiday here tomorrow, so I have tomorrow off. Think we are going to take Kash skating, providing the times work out for public skate.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Mel i suffer from chronic sinusitis and allergies. I have done more than 5 x-rays over the past 10 years and tried every fucking antibiotic on the market. Honestly nothing works in the long term, if i catch a bad cold it turns into sinusitis. I have cleaned my nose everyday for the past 4 years with saline solution morning and night and i drink orange juice every morining. I have managed to not have an episode in this time. My ENT specialist told me that prevention is my only weapon and to avoid getting the flu as much as possible. I dont go to the cinema or any other croweded place during flu season. When i was pregnant with Hero from week 14 onwards i had a completely blocked nose. Could not breath through my nose even with nasal spray. It happens very often to people suffering from allergies during pregnancy. There is nothing you can do but ride it out till you give birth haha!!! Do you have a deviated septum? I do, and its the reason why colds turn into sinus infecttion. I will be getting surgery probably next year.

 

[Sparkly]

Happy 20 weeks Mel, you're halfway there sorry that your sinuses are still troubling you. I can't wait to see your scan pics on Thursday x

 

[Allie84]

Mel sorry to hear about the sinisutis hope you get some releif soon.

Amanda is delilah sleeping better? Hope you've been getting more sleep. I dont know what Id do without the internet.

V sorry about Auroua reaction it sounds like she was just worried about you Im sure she'll be really exicted about the new baby soon. That would be great of you could stay at home. I feel really lucky that Ive been able to although financially it has been really tough.

Sparkly thats great news so happy for you.

Afm: Ive had a horrid day all started this morning with the most horrendous pain they only way I describe it is it felt like someone was sliceing my lower abdomin open. I ended up collapsed on the floor in a ball thankfully steve hadnt left for work so he called them to say he would be late in and stayed with me. He got Benjamin fed, dressed, played with him, made me have a warm drink and eat and just looked after me. I was so scared I honestly thought the next thing to happen was Id start lossing the baby the pain eased and no bleeding but it was horrid. Just as I was starting to relax and feel positive.

Apart from being tired and aching I feel ok. I did speak to me mum and she wondered whether it was to do with the fact I had a csection with Benjamin. i guess it could be scar tissue as everythings stectching to make room for the baby its bound to have an inpact. I really hope its that and that I never experiece that pain again. Hoping my little one is alright.

 

[VGibs]

Luce - Have you ever had a gallbladder attack??? It sounds a lot like that.

 

[VGibs]

Allie - I can't see it either...

 

[LucyJ]

No I havent think the pain was to low down for a gallbladder attack going check out dr google.

 

[msarkozi]

Vick - I am not sure. I have suffered from many sinus infections my whole life, and it wasn't until 9 years ago that they finally did an allergy test on me. They have never did scans on my sinuses or anything. I am hoping once the baby is out, they will revisit this issue and do the ct scan on my sinuses to see what the heck is going on.

With the weather being as warm as it is right now, there is a bad virus going around Town that we just can't shake. Everyone keeps getting it and it just keeps going round and round. It's awful. A little girl (who will be 2 on Saturday), was just flown out to the hospital in Edmonton because of it, and they are still waiting for answers. Not good.

 

[vickyd]

Honestly Mel even if they do the CT scan all they will see is how much puss is up there. They will start testing antibiotics until they see an improvement and in the end they will say you can either manage symptoms or have the drainage surgery. I chose prevention and management cause im a wuss and dont want to be operated on unless its life or death haha!!!

Allie i posted my opinion in your thread, again so sorry you are dealing with this babe...

Sparkly forgot to say WOOHOOO!! for your scan!!!!! Great news chicka!!!
