I cant beleive its been three months.  THe short run down is that I have spent ALOT of time in hospitals.  SO far I have had

several threatened miscarriages,

I have only managed to put on 1.5 kg this entire pregnancy (6 weeks to go!),

am at risk of premature labour,

have an irritable uterus which has been causing contractions and almost landed me in labour several times,

3 or four suspected infections of various kinds,

a 6cm perennial bleed (if anyone can explain this to me it would help! They still havent told me what it was!),

my little (or not so little) boy is breech and probly needing a c-section,

low blood pressure to the point i get migraines, which i can take nothing for,

anaemic,

tendonitis in my pelvic floor

have had the flu for three weeks and had to be monitored to make sure bub was ok

and have had FOUR ultrasounds to work out why I was having contractions.

All this in consideration, I think we would have thought twice about having a second child if my first pregnancy had been this worrisome!

Brian was working part time at the bottle-o across the road to pull in a few extra $$, but quit after a fortnight as his boss gave hima REAL hard time about having to pull out of a shift to rush me to hospital as I was bleeding.  He didn't need to be made to feel guilty for looking after his family before his crummy part time job, and frankly, we are putting in a complaint about the way he was treated there, Noone deserves to be made to feel guilty like that. In the end, He is better off at home with me and liam anyhow, as I cant even lift liam anymore. In fact, Im not even allowed to hang out the washing. Poor Brian gets stuck with it all.

My study is going well, not sure how i am going to cope with the same load I have just down with a newborn coming in the second week of semester, but here's hoping I can survive! :) I havea wonderful helpful husband and a cheeky and helpful son (who loves to put the rubbish in the bin and clean up messes and spills) to help me out!

Liam is great- toilet training is going well, his favourite words are Ear, cat, ball, keys and empty. He can also point to his hair , eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, cheeks, chin, teeth, elbow, knee, toes, tummy and bellybutton, as well as everyone elses.

Thats my little rant for now, hope everyone reading this is well and having a good time with their wonderful families!

Love you all!! :)
