Could Keep You All Hanging On, But I'm Not That Cruel.....Much!!!!!!

Comment Published at 03:5203:5228 comments28 comments39 Visits39 VisitsReport

So, it seems that Fi aka Lonely28 sent a search party after me today.  Ok, so I've been a little on the quiet side for a couple of days, but I am still here!  Still as big as a house and oh so over it!!!!

Puggle is doing her best to arrive.  My braxton hicks are super strong now, and even just a cough or yawn will bring them on.  They are now all through my back and spreading to the front, so taking it to mean we are getting closer, but not going to hold my breath.  I've been told I don't look very good doing an impersonation of a Smurf!

I have the contacts for a couple of members and will text them when things start to happen.  I will also post it here in my blog and in the Bulletin Board (time permitting) when I do go into labour, and I will also try and remember to put it on that funny little line on MSN by my user name so you can see it there too.  I don't get on MSN these days, can't sit still for long now and my computer chair keeps trying to drop me through the floor!!!!! It is a newish gas lift and doesn't seem to like me anymore!

Oh,I got a new keyboard and mouse, so I have been trying them out.  At first, they didn't want to work when Les tried to hook them up, but they do now and are wonderful!  Both mouse and keyboard are wireless with a radio frequency connection, so they don't have to have line of sight to work.  No more cables to wrestle with though I do have to be careful putting the keyboard drawer away now, I almost sent it flying last night! lol.  Les got one too, and we have been joking about how funny it would be if we could mess with each other's 'work' without going through the network! lol.

My bags are finally packed, so now it is just a waiting game.  Got some really nice new baby blankets yesterday to use as bunny rugs.  Our other ones have been used to death! lol.  I think I went over board though, $60 worth and Les thought I was getting the same ones as last time, but I went for much nicer ones that will hopefully last a bit longer and be more comfortable.

Not much else has been happening.  My writing is coming along nicely, though haven't done any for a couple of days.  Cross stitch still happens occassionally, which is what I will be doing tonight and the house?  Forget it! lol.  Washing can wait!

Hope everyone else is happy and well.  And please remember, just because I don't log in for a day or so doesn't mean I have been abducted by aliens.  I do check my email a lot so if you contact me through the Minti Mail system, I will get it.

Right, off to the couch to veg....might check the activity page again before I go! lol.  Hhhhmmm, could still be here in 2 hours time!

Hey Arna, glad to hear you are still in one peice - for now!  Sorry to hear you are still so uncomfortable though, its the pits when you get to this stage.  Take care and keep your legs crossed for a few more weeks, lol!

Yep, still in one piece! lol.  I doubt it will be for much longer, a maximum of about 6 weeks!lol

Getting comfortable is hard, can't use my gym ball when the girls are around as they try to push me off it and the lounge room is the only room of the house where it is roomy enough for me to use.

I would try and keep my legs crossed, but......there is this little head trying to split me in half!!!!! lol.

Thanks Fi.  It seems I can't even take a loo break without the world falling apart! lol.

Yeah, Puggle is sure going to make her entrance grand!  Probably won't even have time to call the hospital! lol.

We do make a great pair, and I'm sure, between us, we could make a toilet paper company go broke too!

You take care of yourself now and try not to sneeze too much!  I'll try not to move! lol.

No, not long to go.  Just sitting about waiting now.....I so don't like waiting! lol

The mouse and keyboard are great!  Might even change my setup so I can sit on the couch and still use my desktop.  Poor laptop might get jealous though! lol.

Hi Janice,

Thanks for stopping by.  Puggle will make her grand entrance when she is ready, of that I can be sure, as to when, this is a female we are talking about! lol.  Hhhmmm, fashionably late comes to mind, but I hope not! lol.

You take care of yourself.

I hope the wait isn't much longer either!  Getting rather sore and must look like I've been riding a horse for a month now! lol. 

The cordless mouse is great!  Just got to get used to how well it works though, my other one was slow to send data, and it had a cable!

hi arna

great about having keyboard and mouse wireless and frequency connection. that what we have but dont make the same mistake as me.

i didnt know where the batteries went i tried and tried to open it couldnt work it out but i couldnt close the computer without the mouse working (it was out of battery) i had to wat for my sson to come home

when he changed the battery he was so quick that i still didnt know how he did it so a week later i asked him. (i didnt want to be stuck again)

i guess puggle will come into the world when she is good and ready.  so we will all just have to wait....

cheers all the best annie

I will be careful and make sure I know where the batteries go.  For the our mouse, it is on the top where the palm of your hand rests.  Just pull down on the cover, and there they are! lol.  I checked after reading your comment!  Found the keyboard battery pack too! lol.  Yep, I won't be getting stuck now, except for finding new batteries! lol.

Puggle will let me know when it is time, like I could ignore it! lol.

I know!  I think I will have to bring the toilet to my computer to sit on! lol.

Puggle says she wants to tease mummy as much as she can! lol.  Cheeky baby has taken to getting her feet against my ribs and pushing as hard as she can! lol..

Fi is a sweetie.  I guess her concern shows just how much of a positive impact I have had on this site.  No-one is going to let me leave! lol., but then again,I'm not going any where!  I hope to keep up with minti even in 20 years time! lol.

I hope mick is doing alright!  Must be quite stressful for you at the moment.

Yep, those aliens are really starting to get naughty! lol.  Our printer often plays up during the night, even though it is switched off, and it must be the aliens or ghosts! lol.

We're still hanging in here, though if things start moving any quicker, will probably be off to check everything is ok.  I don't remember things being this intense before the other 4 were born!

Fingers crossed you dont have much longer now.LOL. So you recommend those wireless keyboards then? I have dithered over getting one!! Might be handy to shelve away from little ones wandering hands.LOL Are you sure that no Aliens are lurking? that chair sounds really suspicious, I'd get Les to have a look see underneath for stray Aliens.LOL.

Will be keeping a gentle eye out, figueratively speaking of course, for the little arrival. Funny is'nt it, how when Bubs are in we use the term "Big", but as soon as their out,they become "Small". Love it.

You take care and watchout for Aliens. Luv Winnie.xxxx

I'm hoping not much longer now too!  The last few nights when I've gone to bed, things have sped up, but no joy as yet! lol.

And yeah, get the wireless mouse and keyboard!  They are so easy to use and no more cables!!!!! lol.

Aliens like lurking in my house.  Just had one playing with the printer again! lol.  I bet they are responsible for my chair going down all the time too, and for the amount of loo paper we go through! lol

Hi Arna,

Glad to hear that you are still hanging in there. I never had Braxton Hicks in both my pregnancy so i don't know what they actually feel like. My Ob thinks that my body can't go into natural labour so that is why i never felt a braxton hicks. I will never know now, my family is finished.

We have the wireless mouse and i think it is fantastic. I am not using it at the moment because the battery went flat last night i we don't have any AA's in the house. It is a big suprise seeing that we have 2 children in the house that have a toybox full of toys that need AA batteries.

Glad to hear the bags are packed. I left my bags till the day before with Amy but she was a C-section and the odds of me going into labour was very slim.

Have a good night,

Juzzy xoxox

yep, still got Puggle safe and sound! lol.  She is doing her best to escape though, even as I type this I can feel her wiggling lower! Ouchy!!!!!!

The mouse and keyboard are great!  Ours are Logitec, one of the most expensive brands available,and we got them for $30 a set, which was 80% of the recommended retail price!  Bargain, oh and they were home delivered too, so even better! lol

I've been slowly organising everything for Puggles arrival, and still have a few bits and pieces to put in my bags,but other than that, we are as ready as can be expected.

I am trying to take it easy.  Not easy relaxing on the couch with a big belly though! lol.  I get booted the most while sitting there! lol.

I'm just glad I logged in before the local missing persons crew should up!  Could have been rather enbarrassing! lol.  I guess my insane words can be of help to others! lol.

Yep, way too cold under the house to be attacking washing at the moment! lol.  My excuse and I'm going to stick to it!

It is getting exciting for us.  Not long to go, but too long to wait at the same time! lol.
