Must Be Getting Closer

Comment Published at 18:0118:0127 comments27 comments68 Visits68 VisitsReport

After the busy few days I had, the last couple have been rather, well, let's just say non productive, but I can't sit still for long!!!!

I noticed last night as Les was kicking me off the couch and into bed, that my stomach is much slower in digesting food now.  It had been about 3 hours since I had eaten anything, and I had rotten reflux that threatened to have me seeing my dessert for a second time.  This morning, still the same, so I'm not feeling the best.  Having a Kermit Day, you know, as in feeling rather green? lol

While the domestic chores have been left for now, I did manage to get a lot of stuff set up on my laptop.  Finally asked for my minti password so that I can use it from any computer now, which is good.  I even worked for a while on my book, but not being able to concentrate for more than a few mins at a time and super fidgety, didn't get as much done as I had hoped.

The toilet and I are becoming best friends again.  Thinking of getting a wireless network connection so I can take the laptop in there! lol.  No kidding, it can take me 20 mins just to pee now!!!!!  Oh, and the toilet paper is disappearing rather rapidly, but there are 3 ladies using the toilet now.

Oh, by the way, I think it is 1 year since I joined minti!!!!  And the site has survived! lol.  Gosh, I've been reading over past blogs from way back then, and I can tell you now, I don't recognise the person who wrote them.  I feel like Minti has given me so much, and no matter how much I try and give back, it will never make up for what I have gotten.

Hope the week is treating you all well, I'll let you know if anything starts to happen, though been quiet on the Puggle front for a day or too (not her moving though!)

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

Gosh I love the idea of your computer set up in the loo, think of all the extra work/being on Minti you could get done!
I feel for you with your reflux, I hope it settles down soon, I was told to try drinking milk, along with the small meals/grazing blah blah blah. I then got hooked on Milo's but I think it actually did work, but I was also eating less and less at the end as I got full so very quickly!
Congratulations on your anniversary!

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

Wow Arna, you've only been on here for a year... I thought you were on here much longer than that... lol... I joined Minti in January 2007 but didnt really get involved till around when you joined I guess when my life started going downhill quick I am just so thankful that i did find MINTI and the wonderful people i've met along the way

Hope your doing ok, Im sure Puggles will make a grand entrance sooner or later

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

yep, only been here for a year, but it does feel longer.  Minti i think should be compulsory for every parent as it is so helpful.

Puggle's might be taking her time, but I know I can't go on for much longer.  She will be out one way or another in the next few weeks!!!!  I'm going to insist they induce me the week before I am officially due because of the dates debate.

Now remember what I said REST!!!! Omg I am so gonna have to come and find you and make sure that you are doing NOTHING!!!!!

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

Resting Fi, I am.  Done nothing the last few days, and I'm sitting on the couch with the laptop now, washing can wait another day or so.

Yep, need another toilet stop myself right now! lol.  And the toilet is the coldest room in the house!!!!!

Puggle's working hard on her escape plan, very vicious tonight and oh so painful around the legs!!!!

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

I still have to check in with Dannii to see how she is settling in.  Will do that shortly.

Puggle is doing her best.  I'm sitting here and she is just behaving like a washing machine which is sending all my muscles into spasm.  Might have something to do with the fact I'm on the couch using the laptop though.

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

Hee hee, I was looking at things the other day on my comp, there was a pic of a nice lil office set up and the comp chair doubled up as a toilet. Hmmm handy for you atm.  I remember when I hit the one yr mark on here! Well I didn't at the time until I looked at old blogs. Minti does change a few of us, and usually for the best!

Come on puggle, we are still waiting in suspense! Good luck arna! (perhaps the nesting instict has kicked in. Hmmm)

Much love, Karen. xx.

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

Yep, that would certainly work! lol.  Now, I just need to work out how to get an unending supply of toilet paper to go with it!

Minti does change us all for the better.  I've not been this happy for this long, in, well, probably forever.

Puggle is trying.  Been having gentle squeezings for the last few days that must be getting stronger because she doesn't like them and lets me know.

Hey, I spend half my day in there at the moment, so why not? lol.

Yep, a whole year of destroying keyboards just using minti! lol.

Puggle is quiet today, but she did have a really good wriggle and kick session last night that lasted about 4 hours!!!  Hope this means she is making up her mind!

Time is flying!!!!  I usually don't stick at things for long, but Minti I just can't live without!

Little Miss Puggle is still stuck.  I think she is putting on weight very quickly though because I can barely move now! lol.

 hmmmm Puggle slowing down could be a sign of things happening soon. Lets hope so, hey!? Not that much longer in any case!!!! Has her name been firmly decided yet??

I wanted wireless in the loo too!! LOL

Wow Minti for a year now. Do you remember life before minti? LOL LOL

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

Sadly, I do remember life before Minti, and it makes me cry.  I can't believe how much I have grown since joining, even though I still have tough times to deal with.  It just seems that now I have the support of real parents here, I am able to take on the world a lot better, because I don't feel so alone anymore.

I think Puggle is getting ready.  Got a pinching ache in my back now, and feel as sick as anything! lol.

Yeah, laptop in the loo does sound good, shame I have to share the smallest room in the house with everyone else!

Congratulations on being on Minti for a year now.

I hated the reflux when i was pregnant with my first, thankfully i didn't get it much with my second.

Hopefully puggles arrives shortly for you, and hopefully you don't have to go through all the stuff Dannii did before Ashton made his big arrival. I will keep checking up for your updates

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

The reflux is bad.  I just have to remember to eat less more often.

Puggles should be here by 5 weeks time, if not, going to call the plumber in! lol.  I'm not suffering as badly as Dannii did, but noticing that things are a wee bit different this time round.  I just hope I make it to the hospital when it is time.

Re: Must Be Getting Closer

Aww gee you poor thing, she's giving you a hard time. I had awful reflux when I was preggy with Grub and was really limited on what I ate. I had to sleep almost vertically, so I slept on the sofa bed a lot, but that was the air conditioned room and also had the foxtel so I pretty comfy! I was eating through a big pack of rennies a week! So my gp told me to get magnesium trisilicate....it was a godsend!

Take it easy chick! (which shouldn't be too hard with your computer in the loo!)
