Thread: My pregnant wife

Gently gently we stroll in the right direction - good on you Kylie and Waldo.

Whatever you do don't shock her with any big purchases - save it till after the birth then you can buy as a celebration of life . Ooops sorry getting ahead of myself here

Seriously cheers and goodluck and prayers and thoughts with you both.

G'day Teejay,

Does that mean I might get away with buying the 15" CT Thivknesser I want? Wait until Kylie sees your post regards to celebration purchases.

Trav, sounds like Woodies the land over are becoming Dads.

Ele__13, all good so far. Just wish Kylie didn't have the discomfort. Her 2nd cousin is feeling guilty that her pregnancy is trouble free.

Waldo
We are with you.
ps
Thicknesser - ok I will let you.

Hang in there Waldo, Kylie & Bub. Every day's another step in the right direction.
Will be in Melb for Touchwood later this week, hope to catch up while I'm down there.
PS, was chatting to some Qld colleagues who worked with your Dad.
Cheers,
Alex

The creation of life is a profound and divine occasion and should and should be celebrated with something of comparable significance (said in a holier than thou tone with head wobbling)

Cheers

G'day AlexS,

Would be great if we could catch up while you're down here, to thank you in person for organising the vise and also to hear what stories you have to tell about my Dad and who they are that you talked to.

You hang in there bro. The whole team is behind you.

Hey Waldo n Kylie hope all is going well .... just wondering how ur all doing best wishes jules

Hope all is well.

G'day Ele_13,

And all the rest of you lot following this.

Friday had it's dramas, which seems to be weekly occurance. Kylie was booked in to have a scan on Wednesday which was pretty important considering her current condition etc., but the Dr who does the scans put her down the list a fair bit and didn't get the scan done until Friday much to the disgust of Kylie's specialist.

Anyway so the scan got done and 2 litres of embryonic fluid were drained. This time as a result Kylie had very severe pain from the reduction as the needle was inserted not more to her side as should normally happen but more on the face of her stomach. Which hit the muscles pretty hard and half way through the proceedure Kylie was already in pretty bad pain.

Not long after she got back into her room she was in constant severe pain. It wasn't that her muscles were going into spasms from having the pressure taken off and from being used to continual stretching, it was more like they didn't know how to relax. I've never seen her in so much pain and she couldn't move. To try and help she was given two panadols, but it was clear she needed much more than this and shortly after was given a pethadene shot.

Saturday was a little better for her by way of the pain and Sunday was much better although not 100% as she still had some pain. Last night she told me she felt weird but couldn't explain how, I rang her this morning and she'd been sick at about 7:00 this morning so they did some blood tests to see if anything is going on.

This week she hits 29 weeks and come 30 they might let the drugs wear off and et her come into labour naturally. That's about the curent play of things at the moment, if anything develops I'll let you know.

You are a patient and caring husband Chris.

How are you coping?

G'day Rob,

Lonely at night so I spend some late nights poking my head in here. Getting tired of the microwave meals from Coles, but I just had a friend drop off some home meade meals to heat up with a bit more nutrtion.

Starting to find the hours at the hospital are wearing in trying to run a business so I'll have to be harder with the length of visits to Kylie. I've also been ordered to get back in the shed and finish off some toys for some nephews for Christmas.

I'm going in today after a client meeting at home at 11:00, then at 3:00 I have a client meeting in town, so I'm working hospital and clients around each other.

Hoping to find a Saturday that I can poke my head at your place so I can look at some of those planes I bought last Saturday week. Caught up with AlexS on Friday and was hoping to get to the exhibition on Saturday but things got away on me.

Have been meaning to try your driveway but with things starting to come to a head soon and buying a weekly parking ticket has precluded me from taking up your very kind offer.

Hardest bit is not being able to do anything, but being there as I can with Kylie is really helping her, as she's not bored from not being able to do something as my MIL or I am there for each day and into the night around about 8:30 each night.

Motivation to do things is hard at times when my mind is at the hospital, at least the house is still tidy, not that I'm here a geat deal.

I should get some work done or organise what work I'll take in with me today.

Thanks Rob for asking about me.

Chris,

Meg and I are having a BBQ tonight - Let me know if you want to drop in for a feed around 6:30 PM. Meg can get a couple of extra chicken wings for you.

G'day Rob,

Thanks for the very kind offer. I have just talked to Kylie to ask her about what she wants and would like me to be there for her tonight, as she needs the company.

I hate to turn down an offer.

Thank Meg for me and look forward to meeting her sometime and sharing a coffee, a chat and learning from your vast knowledge of experience regarding care and looking after planes.
