CRAZY

I declare myself crazy in the head! I have been feeling it coming for weeks. I have slowly become insane. This baby has turned me lunie! Every day around 2:30 I become a nutty women. My brain turns to mush and I feel like crying. I become exhausted and I want to die! As the night goes on all I want to do is sleep but then I can't come 10pm. So I sit and I wait for the nausea to pass and for me to become sleepy. I can't read and I can't sew so I sit and wait. I think awful thoughts like "I can't do this" and "I'm not cut for this" or "how can I be a mommy for two when I feel like a failure with one." Has anyone else ever felt this way because right now I want to crawl under my bed and go to sleep and never wake up.

Dugain is watching me!

Dugain is staring at me. Why cuz I'm where she wants to be. Why am I where she wants to be well I'm up at 9:45 watching TV in her favorite spot. TV at such a late hour (:0) well I'm sick to my stomach. So I am going to sit here and sip sprite and watch TV. Goodnight!

oh baby, baby

Nope, nothin new still sick!

Update

No I haven't recovered from morning sickness yet and the tickets haven't been purchased. But we are moving ahead and praying that by next week we will have ordered our tickets and made our plans to come home. We miss you all so much we could just scream! Our first regular doctors appointment will be Oct 5th at 10:30.

Sick?

Still sick, oh yah!

anybody feel like contributing to the get the Bosley girls home for christmas fund? Were still a little short and tickets are getting expensive.

New post?

Why has she not updated her blog in awhile?

Why because morning sickness has take over my life. I wake up feeling ill and it goes down hill from there. I get afternoon sickness but the worse is the night times. From about 8:00 pm on I become rather well cooked. I did however make it to 9pm last night so maybe things are looking up for me. So until we get this under control I maybe in hiding. Our 8 week appointment is Wednesday so everybody cross your fingers that all is going well.

Morning sickness

Oh morning sickness you fickle bitch.

As I move into week 7 so does my "morning sickness".

I go from being okay right to being ill. It seems as long as I stuff a cracker in my big fat mouth I'm okay but then it starts all over again. May there always be Tums and crackers on hand.

Ps. a great remedy that my dad taught me was 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to one glass of warm water. Drink fast feel better soon. Thanks dad I am having a big glass on you right now.

So it begins...

Let the sibling rivalery begin.

Moya at first loved the idea of being a big sister then tonight it all came crashing down.
"You won't play with me when the baby comes." "You won't love me." "I don't like babies" and so on and so forth. We all piled into bed together and tried to reasure her that this is a good thing and the baby will be lots of work but she will be no less loved but will infact enjoy and love being a big sister. I don't think she's buying!

Hello baby pickle

Aren't I cute!

Friday 10:15

Tonight I am worried. Tomorrow is the Ultrasound.

I have been here three times before and three times before they have looked at me and said "Mrs. Bosley but I am sorry there is no baby sometimes these things happen." I have prepared myself for these words. I have done the dishes cleaned the house and readied the bills all in preparation to me falling apart for a few days. If these words come tomorrow I will be devastated. I will sit in bed and cry for a day and then I will pick up the pieces that are me and struggle on knowing that heaven has gained another angel. So pray for me. Pray for strength and endurance to keep going because in the end I am still Roses mommy.

Steve Irwin Tribute

The Death of a great Australian

Steven Irwin Dies in freak accident

September 4, 2006 - 3:31PM
Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, has died after being struck by a stingray barb in Queensland.

Mr Irwin, 44 died after the stingray barb went through his chest while he was shooting a documentary off Port Douglas.

The Queensland Police Service has confirmed Mr Irwin's death.
In a statement, it said Mr Irwin collapsed after being stung by a sting ray at Batt Reef, off Port Douglas, about 11am.

After being struck, Mr Irwin's crew called for medical treatment and the Emergency Management Queensland Helicopter responded, but he was dead before the treatment arrived.

The statement said Mr Irwin's family has been advised.

His American-born wife Terri is reported to be trekking on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania.

A spokesman for the Queensland Ambulance Service said officers attended the scene on Low
Isles via helicopter at 12.04pm today and arrived back in Cairns at 12.53pm.

"The area it was delivered to was the problem. A sting ray hit to the chest is a big problem," he said.

Mr Irwin - known worldwide as the Crocodile Hunter - is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!".

The father of two's Crocodile Hunter program was first broadcast in 1992 and has been shown around the world on cable network Discovery.

He also starred in movies and has developed the Australia Zoo wildlife park, north of Brisbane, which was started by his parents Bob and Lyn Irwin.

Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, who used a photograph of his family at Australia Zoo for his official Christmas card last year, hailed Mr Irwin for his work in promoting Australia.

Mr Irwin was heavily involved in last year's "G'Day LA" campaign.

"The minister knew him, was fond of him and was very, very appreciative of all the work he'd done to promote Australia overseas," a spokesman said.

A spokeswoman for Irwin's Australia Zoo said she was aware of reports of his death and the zoo would not be making any statements at this stage.

According to the zoo's website, Irwin was born in Victoria in 1962, butmoved with his family to Queensland in 1970 when his father, Bob, started a reptile park on the Sunshine Coast.

Irwin married American Terri Raines in 1992 after she visited the zooon holiday.

I am sure australia will be in mourning!

Sick day

Today I am sick!

No not just in the head well yah actual it is in my head. I have a sinus infection or at least that is what I think it is. I have been blowing my nose continuously for the past 24 hours. Rose and Liam spent a lovely day of trying not to fight. Two pig headed people should not spend so much time alone with each other it only leads to tears. So I today have been relegated to bed where I have read smut novels and slept off and on. When I wasn't reading I was worried about my yet to be detected unborn child. I keep thinking are you really there? Are you happily swimming around or have you already gone to heaven with your other three siblings? I hate to think that way but I just can't stop myself. I have had to many losses not to be a tad neurotic. I try to keep my brand of craziness to myself but sometimes it just has to come out. I have to wait until Friday to know if there is a heart beat or if I am looking at another blighted ovum. So I will blow my nose and wait.
