Just chatting!

[Mochagirl]

I know, you are both getting so close.....exciting 'next' month for u both!
Mocha, I think ur pg has flown by, or is it just me??

No - it feels like I've been pregnant FOREVER! Since I got that first BFP in September, then got pregnant again so quickly after my m/c, when the baby's finally born I will feel like I've been pregnant a whole year!

Inglewood I teach 2nd grade so they are between 6-8. I can usually forget a lot about work once I get home, but I run around like mad at work trying to get everything done before I leave I usually don't take work home with me, but since I am breastfeeding I have to rush home to feed her so I may start bringing a little home I can't imagine your job either. It must be so stressful. My best friend is a neonatologist. She loves it, but has a hard time with the emotional side of it since having a baby.

That will be me soon, trying to feed, bath and bed the twins before leaving for my nightshift at 7pm-ish. Or I might have to leave Dh 4 kids to settle and run out the door till I get home at 0830am! I did plan to be a neonatal nurse/midwife, but was too young when I finished high school at 17 (u had had to be 18 to get into midwifery back then), so did my Adult nursing degree and planned to eventually be a midwife, but I became a mum earlier than I expected!! At least most of my patients are older, poorly babies would be mega tough to deal with. x

Wow I have missed a bunch! Sorry for being MIA for a while. I have been checking in as much as I remembered! Things here are just as crazy as ever! Little Benjamin is 3months old now...and I really want him to stop growing up!! He is my last one and I want to keep him little forever!!
Other than that I have 2 weeks left before Ds1 starts High School and Ds2 starts Kindergarten....I AM NOT READY FOR THIS! I was thinking to myself the other day I better not imbarrass myself and cry the day Ds1 goes to high school! I already know I am doomed to at ds2 kindergarten day....and since they both fall on the same day....someone should just put me down! My boys are growing up...I am not ready for all this. I will have ds3 and ds5 at home with me but still half my boys are just getting to big!

[auroara78]

ah princesssarah, your DS1 is so big!! I understand that feeling....I cannot believe DS2 (who is only 15 months) is trying so hard to talk! What happened to my cuddly little baby who just stared at me with big blue eyes?

[Inglewood]

Princess, Hope the boys get on well with their new schools? are they excited?? My eldest has only 2years left at primary school (he is 10 in Nov) and then goes to high school, that will be a weird day! Ds2 is still kinna little and is only 5, so is going into primary 2, so still has 6 yrs including this one before he goes to high school. That will be an even weirder day, as that would mean ds1 was almost 16! The girls are 4mths and time is passing so quickly I can't believe almost 10yrs ago, I had my lovely baby boy, my first-born.

It is just plain crazy how fast our kids grow! I am just so sad about my kids growing up it is awful! I keep thinking what is wrong with me? Oh well....maybe I am still coming down off of those crazy pregnancy hormones!!

ha princess--I feel the same way and i only have ONE kid. I am crazy but whenever a friend has a newborn, I miss that stage even though I am LOVING the stage he is in now. I don't even think I can blame it on hormones because he's 5.5 months old. LOL.

So we are starting solids this week---semi nervous! Here's to hoping it goes well!

Hope everyone else is doing well

[zanacal]

Good luck alreadyneedivf! I must admit, I like how simple it is when they only need milk and am not looking forward to that - although perhaps Eliza can convince my boys to eat more vegetables!!

Tomorrow I go to the doctor for me and Eliza. I'm concerned about the shape of her skull. It kind of dents where the soft spot on the back of her head is and then there's a bulge underneath it and she also has a ridge sticking up from ear to ear. There's a condition babies can get where the bones fuse too early so I want to get her checked out but I really hope it's just a variation of normal!

I'm also going to speak to the doctor about my anxiety. I'm still feeling unbalanced/dizzy most days but I'm also still getting the odd rush of adrenalin to my head which I believe is anxiety related as it started in pregnancy after my DVT scare. I notice every single feeling in my body and get very irrational and convinced that they're symptoms of some terrible disease which will kill me and leave my children motherless. I know it sounds silly and I can talk myself down from it but that doesn't stop my sub concious having those thoughts and the anxiety is still there. I'm never sure whether the physical symptoms I get are caused by anxiety or something else - and then I worry that if I dismiss them as anxiety related I may miss a warning sign that I should have gone to the doctor for. So I suspect I'll be getting a referral to the men in white coats *sigh*. It's a big deal for me to admit this kind of thing to my doctor because I'm a 'coper' iykwim.

Wish us both luck!
