Sick and pains

Just 16 more days to go... if the bub doesnt come early or late..
Ugh!!!!! Sunday was painful, exciting, yet sooo painful! It has me wondering if the bub will be coming earlier. If pregnancies and birth times could be predictable, following a pattern.. I would say the bub would be arriving next sunday! seeing as thats what happened with Tia, a week before she was born i had the same cramps coming and going that i took a panadol and it stopped. (panadol contains anti-prostagladins) I had the cramps again in a week followed with all the other signs that this time it was for real. (show, vomiting, the runs.. real pretty)

I had those nasty cramps, rotten back pain too.. and oh joy the memories come back.. I was pretty sure it was a 'false labour', all i had was the pain for 4hrs! The timing was all over the place and sure it started out ok then went "OMG this hurts" back to "meh, guess they are going now". It was somewhat of a 'training exercise', thinking how do i deal with this pain again? DH was busy working in another room... when i told him just before lunch, he was sooo excited! and asked how i knew it wasnt the real thing! LOL! I was told not to have the baby while he went and got some take-out for lunch... pfft!!!! and surprise! Still no baby when he came back!

Ive been gradually getting Tia's nasty sore throat, runny nose cold. Which she seems to get the most, i suppose i should be happy she doesnt get the barking cough ones. My lymph nodes are so swollen!! My throat is so sore and i feel like crap.

Sleeping these past couple of days has been AWFUL!!!! I wake up every hour, sometimes twice in the same hour after 1am until i get sick of it and get up at 7am or i finally get some sleep and get woken by DH alarm. Ive had that many dreams in a night, its crazy!!!
last night i dreamt;
1) i snuck in to some government intelligence building (to do with aliens) with friends and yet we were unsuccessful in escaping (i had the earth credit card that was on dr who last night. Voyage of the damned episode, with kylie minogue and Clive Swift (better known as Mr Richard bucket, from keeping up appearances).
2) i was chasing my pet monkey around a large mcdonalds in the girls toilets area. My mum was working there?! (i had a pet monkey?! what the?!)
3) i was taging along with a friend who won a prize of a makeover on a tv show, where they bought her a bunch of flowers that had some sort of electrical appliance in there too like a vaccuum cleaner?!4) i was at a huge kids play area (you know one of those ones in a building/wharehouse where u pay for your kids to play in) only it was massive and you wore these soft safety suits that if u hurt yourself and the impact lasted 3secs a saftey team would come out and see if your ok. They had random simpson characters (workers in costume) that would come out at random times and it was a stacks on, sort of thing.. i later discovered that the parents were being turned into hay. somehow???
5) i was on a mini-bus going somewhere with a group of people who sang annoying camp/bus songs.
and thats the ones i can remember..

Melting

Summer has hit! After months of nice cool weather and lots of rain we have had like a week without rain, and its been so hot!
The kind of hot weather that you wish you had a pool, beachside apartment, air conditioning or a car! Walking in the heat is a pain, especially with the flies! I keep telling myself i will be ok if i keep my mouth shut! That doesnt stop flies going kamikaze up my nose or full throttle at my forehead.. whats with those weird ones?

Today has been a Godsend! Rain! Storms.. all very pleasant, nothing very close, no downpours just a constant drizzle of rain!

Im not a summer person! In fact if i was a billionaire i would spend winter in the northern hemisphere and get a freaking white christmas and spend winter in the southern hemisphere!

Did you know dominoes pizza now has salads on its menu? Theyre like $7bux.. i wish they would just bring back the lite cheese! lol!

its only just lunch time and so far today i have eaten:
3 pieces of raisin toast, 2 pieces of peanut butter toast, pieces of watermelon, 1 choc chip cookie and for lunch 2 pieces of cheese on toast melted with satay sauce (my favourite) with the weather so nice i might have a coffee for the first time in ages!

hubby was sick saturday night, i stayed up till 2am just to make sure he was ok, knowing that if i slept he would probably wake me each time he had to race to bathroom.. heheh i thought i was the one meant to be vomiting?! lol! Tia and i spent the night eating pizza and watching the movie Elf, which she loved!
during the day when hubby was still well we went out shopping had iced coffees, did some ddr, enjoyed the air conditioning and bought a christmas tree and some LED lights.. its the biggest tree our lil family has ever had 91cms and cost $17.99 from k-mart on special! whoot! We got battery operated LED lights that are low voltage, which means they arent glass or going to break easy and Tia can touch them. However i was in a rush and it was only a pack of 10! lol! so we have this big empty tree with 1 line of lights lol! Oh and we have plenty of gadgets all hogging up power boards in this house so the lights running off batteries is awesome. If ever i build a house i will have power points on every single wall!!!

*mind blank*

I tried out Maria's florentine recipe.. with my own uh, version.. i didnt have the ww cereal so i used just right cereal and i then decided it needed much more.. when i should have added rolled oats but i couldnt find any.. and OMG skim condensed milk is awesome.. it didnt quite work.. my 1st batch the condensed milk ran out of the mixture and just burned ontop the paper.. and so my 2nd attempt with more almonds, cherries and more cereal (and eating some excess condensed milk, lol) worked out better altho i still had burny bits so i basically scrapped the biscuit off the tray and pinched it together and left to cool. I did use the honey (not that ive made it more often, but i didnt find the honey making it to sweet more handy as a glue for the biscuit i think) and dipping it in the chocolate, cemented it more into a biscuit form.. yay! in the end the biscuits wore sooo yummy. i will be wanting to make it again, hopefully i will have rolled oats, a museli or ww museli!
so scrummy yummy..

I had too much for dinner.. ouch! (beef roast n vegs) ive been good all day. I still havent had any takeaway (bad takeaway that is.. subway 6 inch subs under 6g of fat are ok, diet muffins are ok) and right now im not missing it either.. let's hope i can keep this up. Im going 3 weeks without bad takeaway!

ive got some dancing bug at the moment, watching 'so u think u can dance' at the moment.. need to dance and get my fix! wow, loved the zombie vagabond dance! whoo..

Tia goes to 'lil school' (childcare) for 3hrs tomorrow.. still bummed that tia cant do a full day there. This whole thing is for Tia really, i dont really need the time to myself.. but she really needs kids to play with, she needs friends and it works. Making bub No.2 is taking quite awhile *sigh* its getting easier each time it fails to happen so thats good.. i dont want to turn into a complete mess over this.. and i totally understand that im partially if not completely to blame for the weight and also for taking so long to decide on the right time for No.2. ah well. All in God's time and plan, we still need to move into a bigger place and do more work on our project and i know morning sickness would make it a real challenge to put effort in that stuff. (hope that made sense)

Hubby hasnt been feeling 100% so he has had the past 2 days off, its been great to have him around.. and the same time i wish he wasnt on the fast computer! LOL! gawd im selfish!
It was nice to do some errands together out after his doctors appointment, batteries for the scales, a new shopping trolley and me shopping while he was at the doctors for my new dvds.

Feeling absolutely exhausted..... i feel i could just fall asleep if i went to bed.. but its still too early.. *yawn* and i have to call my mum..
