hoping it will be over soon

Oh boy did I have a bad night last night. Heartburn!! ARRRR I only had 2 very very minor runs with it with Tom. However this time around. I was up every 1/2hour. I bascially slept up right, however by the middle of the night this put sooo much pressure on my hips that my legs are killing me today. Topped with not a lot of sleep I feel I'm going crazy!! Poor lee has had to do everything at night. Last night he had to get up to the dog twice and Thomas once. Thomas actually fell out of bed, the first time. I still can't work out how he did it. He has a bed barrier and a very very small gap at the end of his bed and thats wherre he fell???? When we heard it Lee went running and there was Thomas on the floor a little confused saying "fall show" that his name for the funniest home videos!! He asked to be put back to bed and that we it. very very strange!!

Anyway, Thomas is still getting up too early about 5:30am, if we go in there and lay with him we can sometimes get another 1/2 - 1hour out of him. However this morning for the first time, he got him self up and came to our room. Again he has never done this. I was waiting for the day it happened as I knew it would scare the crap out of me. Sure enough it did. To wake up with a figure standing the in door way!!! I hope this isn't a trend that is going to continue!!

Well I’m off to Sydney today, have to pick up my dress at 12pm and make my way to the airport. I was given the all clear by the ob so its all good. My brother is also down from Sydney at the moment (flys home on sat in time for me to see him again LOL). He came over Wed night and boy we had some fun. I really miss not having him around. He wants to come back to Melbourne to live, and has the opportunity too in the next couple of months but his girlfriend doesn’t want him to. She doesn’t want him coming back and spending time with his friends again without her. I really really hope she changes her mind, I want my brother back home!!! J

As for little miss, she is still moving around a lot, although I’m guessing there isn’t a lot of room in there as I get digs here and there. Poor thing was really moving yesterday as I was under a bit of pressure to get my bridemaids dress to a dress maker to take in as it was falling off me. Didn’t think it was a good idea to flash my boobs to people on my friends wedding day LOL!!! Ok well that’s it I had better go and finish my packing

busy day - now I'm tired!!

Today has been busy. Lee picked up his car today (he traded it in for his 4WD) as he wanted something that we better to use in the city. I also took Thomas to playgroup. He seemed to enjoy it, and I’ll go back, however must see if I can pay as I go, not point paying for a term when I’m due in 8 weeks. They should let me do it, I hope. So as you can gather I’m feeling better, thank god!! Thomas still has a cough and running nose and I’m hoping that clears up soon, a little being sick. I see the Ob today at 4:30 and can’t wait for that either as I seem to have a lot of questions! Also my brother is down from Sydney today and is calling around tonight – surprise visit. He flys back on Friday and then I see him on Saturday!! LOL

Ok that’s me, I’m hungry and off to raid my empty fridge!

baby talk

I have the strangest feeling on my cervix lately, I see the ob tomorrow and how everything is ok. It has been like pulsating??? thats it. it could be Braxson hicks I guess, but who knows!!! hope he is going to let me fly this Thursday. for some reason I dont think I'm going to make my dd!!

feeling crap

I'm feeling pretty crap at the moment. Thomas got a cold last week and has past it on. I don't normally get stuff, but assume that because my body is busy with the baby I'm going to cop it. Have a sore throat, blocked nose and a bloody stuffed head. ,......oh codrial would fix this no worries only I cant take it!!! I hope it clears up by monday, have to see Joel!!!!! Lee is coming home early to hopefully take Thomas so I can have a rest

I was hoping for a quiet weekend at home, fixing the nursery however already we have a BBQ on at my grandparents house on Sunday. We will be meeting Brev (relo in England) I can't wait. But wonder why my grandparents always feel the need to get involved!! I was just going to meet her for a coffee somewhere. Its probably there need for gossip that pushes them. So Dad is going to be there too. I only saw him 2 weeks ago, and not in the mood to see him again. Harsh I know but my family is all over the place, since mum and dad split it has made it easier to see mum (fantastic) but now on need to see Dad. all fun and games.

In other news, Lee came out of the blue last night and told me he wanted to help plan my 30th! I have been crapping on about how it is going to be fantastic (even though its 2 years away) I didn't really have a 21st so I wanted to make this one big. He came up with a whole lot of fantastic ideas. Thinking of hiring a hall and band. Only if we do that most places want you out by 11:30pm. so I dont know. We are going to have a fancy dress as all my friends really get into this kind of stuff well. Mum already plans to look after the kids and said she would be disappointed if we came home that night!! LOL.

On to mothers group, I went yesterday and we were all there. Someone commented on the noise level of 5 kids at the age of 2. It was sooo funny as a year ago it wouldn’t have been so high!! 2 of my friends also have their second, one 5 months the other 3 months. And Jo and I are due a week apart. I think we are going to have to find a bigger place to all meet. I’m sooo disappointed that Jo is moving to the country though L I’m the only one left living in the same place as when we all first met. Although the others aren’t far. I’d hate to think we aren’t going to meet every Thursday, they really are my lifeline!! Have been for 2 years!!

3rd time I have tried to write this!!!

Would you believe this is the third time I have tried to write this??!! keep getting interupted LOL

Ok well currently I'm 31 weeks pregnant. Feeling very big, and preying for a small baby, nothing like Thomas. I have my checkup next week and I'm also hoping to hear that our girl has turned, however I feel in myself that she just keeps doing summersalts!! She has calmed down a little at night now and I'm finding I can sleep a little better - or is that just me too exctued to care?? who knows

I'm also about 11 days away from my best friends wedding in Sydney and seeing my brother again so I have a very exciting week ahead. I'm just running through last minute wedding prep stuff, but my job has been very easy with C doing all the work and is very organised. Can;t wait to see the reception again. They sent me photos last night of the table made up etc. all I can say is WOW, the attention to detail is just fantastic!! Cant wait to see it in person.

So I'll leave it there, as I fear if I write anymore I wont post LOL!!
