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

See me!

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.

The new 30

I declare

50 the new 40

40 the new 30

and

30 the new 20

God help us all

If only she knew what was coming!

He only looks innocent!

Wipe that smile off your chubby face cuz...

Oh Dear God there goes the neighborhood!

Watch out world there's another Bosley on the way

Please note mother of said child above is going crazy. "SO what's new". Well I become, how can we put this but, neurotic when I become pregnant. I have had to many miscarriages not to be so (3). We are 5 weeks along and I have had two blood tests and another on Friday. The scan is being scheduled tomorrow. It is anyone's guess as to whether or not we will make it past the 8 week mark. Right now we are worried about low progesterone levels and blighted ovums. I wanted to let you all know for moral support cuz I am going crazy.

Lets get this party started

I will soon explain what this all means!
Don't you wish you were an ETC'er?

Job description: Mother

What other job in the world ask of its employees to:

1. Stay up for 72 hours straight all the while smiling

2. Demands perfection (but never gets it).

3. Asks that you hold your hand out to catch throw up and then comfort the ill by saying its okay baby just throw up on me.

4. Asks that you agree to take daily verbal abuse from a cranky person shorter then your knee

5. Demands that you be willing to drive at a moments notice on E with 14 weeks of snacks and toys piled up in the back seat.

6. Expects you to want to wipe someone else's ass!

7. Asks that you work 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year including holidays and vacations without pay!

8. Expects that you will be slave labor for the rest of your employment or death which ever comes first.

9. Last but not least on the day you are employed (conception) until your death you will never see one days worth of pay, a big enough thank you worthy of all you have done, or manual to let you know how your doing.

What other job in the world will you ever know unconditional love?

Erma Bombeck:

The art of never making a mistake is crucial to motherhood. To be effective and to gain the respect she needs to function, a mother must have her children believe she has never engaged in sex, never made a bad decision, never caused her own mother a moment's anxiety, and was never a child.

A boy's kinda weekend

Liam and Rose "washing" their bikes together.

Our hero, Brad!

Yup, it's leaking alright!

Brad, Byron and Liam all staring at motor bikes!

Boy, now doesn't that look like fun?

Liam may never admit it but I think he rather enjoyed his vehicular weekend.

10 signs I'm not going to be winning any parenting awards!

10 signs your not going to win Mother of the Year.

1. For the past week she has declared she is moving out and you don't care.

2. She has repeatedly told you that if she doesn't get her way she will throw fire balls at you.

3. She drew on the wall, was sent to her room while you laughted quietly and took photos of the infraction. Cuz the little drawing on the left looked rather cute.

4. You will sleep with one eye open tonight because, she states she's "going to kill you."

5. She tells a close friend of yours that she was just playing with that "you know I hate you."

6. You can't wait to drop her off at school!

7. You have taken to running away and hiding in your own bathroom just so you don't have to hear her little voice.

8. You slowly turn the radio up louder and louder just so you won't have to listen to the growing list of complaints coming from the back seat.

9. You set a timer at breakfast and tell her that if she doesn't finish soon you will be packing her and her breakfast up and sending it to deepest darkest Africa.

10. You sometimes drive around the school several times just to build up the courage to pick your little darling up from class.

Prayers

I have been consciously praying since I was around 5 years of age when I first learned that you pray at night for your family and that if you were to die God would take you up to heaven. ( I still find that Prayer a bit scary). I have been noticing a change in my prayers over the last few years. I use to pray for a new bike and a boy to like me. I made deals like if you (fill in the blank) I will go to church every Sunday or I promise to be good. As I got older my prayers have become more sophisticated like "please God just let me make it to the gas station I'm on E". After Rose was born I began praying about her sleep patterns. "Please God protect her while she sleeps" "Dear God just let her sleep." Now that she is 4 and in school I pray for the same things my mother prayed for me. "Please God let her make friends, let her keep her upbeat personality and love for life." "Please God keep her safe while she is away from me." "Dear God let her enjoy school and do well." I stay up at night praying for her protection and health. Sometimes praying is the only thing that helps me get through a long night of crying over ear aches and leg cramps. It won't be long until the tears will be about a boy not liking her or fight with a friend and so the prayer chain will go full circle. I will again pray for the little things but not for me but for her. Click on the "praying hands" and get the story behind the painting.

Thanks heaps

Me: Because they're hairy and I think they maybe frightening

So go have a look and leave them a comment! Were glad you joined in on all of the madness!

Liam

With Liam away I have felt most neurotic. That is to say, I hate to be alone. I panic about every noise I hear. I don't sleep well and I don't feel well. It has come to my attention after having spoken to Liam on the phone that we hate to be apart. I could hear the saddness in his voice. Yah, its fun at first to be all free but then it sets in he's not there. I miss his big over sized body taking up most of the couch. I can't sleep without hearing his obnoxious snoring. I feel lonely when its just the two of us and no daddy. I didn't out right ask him if he missed us but I could hear it in his voice. He too was lonely. Perhaps he misses me poking him in the middle of the night saying "STOP SNORING, I CAN'T SLEEP". Maybe he misses me leaning against him as he tries to type important messages. I don't know what it is that makes people so damn fond of each other but somehow we just miss each other. Without him I don't feel complete.

Friday night excitement!!!!

Oh yes, our weekends are just that exciting!

(Hey there's a tiger on my chair)

Your move!

With Liam being gone this weekend the game has lost is appeal!

The Rose and the bunny

I believe he gets fairly good reception with those ears.

Take the carrot you know you want to!

Survey says carrot good!

It tastes much better when not gripped by a sweaty, squealing 4 year old

Bunny Butt!

She likes me, she likes me!

Funny they don't look like bunnies?

definitely not a bunny!

My couch

Why yes they are cream how very observant of you and yes there is a 4 year old sitting on one of the chairs! Please note 4 year old was cleaned with in an inch of her life before her little tushy was allowed to sit on the chair. Why yes cream is a stupid color to buy a couch and two chairs in!

TUBBY TIME

In my family a bath cures all. Got cold take a bath got a fever take a bath. My mother has always thrown both my sister and I in the bath anytime something goes wrong. You know what she's right. A bath does make a world of difference. Rose was driving me crazy this morning so I threw her in the tub and let her float for a half an hour and you know what? She was a much calmer and happier little girl. For some reason it even calms the crankiest of children. Any time my girlfriend Jodi and I feel we would smoosh our children when having a vist we would toss them in the tub and all would be better. I think in the week long vists we use to have they spent half of their time in the tubby. SO GO TAKE A BATH!

Update...

The Rockhampton photos are coming, honest. I just have to download them to my computer then post 'em, so be patient. Quick update though. We went to Repromed at 9:00 on Wednesday morning. We love our new doctor! We had a 45 min appointment and in that short time he made me feel like it was possible to get pregant again and not only that but, I may be able to get pregnant on my own once we get my endomitriosis in order. He also came up with a suggestion as to why Rose was so weird at deliever. He believes she was having withdrawls from the Paxil I took while pregnant with her. What he said all made sense. She was so placid at birth and then went all cranky which is very common for babies coming off of medicine. He also believes that my endo is back and once we take care of that there is an excellant chance we could get pregnant on our own. The thought is that as my endo gets worse the more pain I experience around my period and the least likely I am to concieve on my own. In a sense my own body is attacking my eggs and not allowing me to get pregnant. So we are going to do some cheap test and take a look at everything and wait untill January and go on from there. I have hope again and I am thrilled to be back in the infertility race. Not to mention come Janaury a cycle of IVF is only 2ooo dallors and once you pay your first 1000 the goverment pays you 80 cents on the dallor making each treatment rather cheap (in america a cycle could cost you more than 7000 for the same treatment). I would also like to shout out to Chery Muchow who has delivered a healthy baby boy named Isaac Joseph. Mom and baby are doing well. So congrats to the new family!

A proud day

This morning Rose came to be with a large book under her arm. Hugged tightly to her chest was my favorite book of all time, Little Women. I wasn't sure if she was old enough to understand the book but I began reading it to her. It became immediately clear that she not only understands the book but that she has already found a character to relate to. Before I tell you what character she has chosen to relate to I must first tell you that I have always been Jo. From page one to the very last of the Little Women series I have always been Jo. To this day the book creeps into my thoughts. I recieved this book as a present from my best friend Beth S. on March 19th 1998. Beth and Heather were my bosom buddies and we all related to the book indifferent ways. So when Rose brought me the book a wave of memories hit me from my own childhood. I can not tell you how excited I am to begin this journey of discovery with my own little woman. It is with pride that I introduce Rose to the March family. Rose has found joy and intersest in the youngest of the Marches. Rose is Amy. This makes me giggle because of all the girls I leasted wanted to be like was Amy but Rose loves her and so do I.

Screams of an infertile woman

This posting will not be judge negatively! Why, because I just emotionally can not take it. I have had it up to here. I am sick and tired of being infertile. Because unlike most of you dear readers I can not just pick a month, decide yes that is when I would like to be pregnant and *bam* 4 weeks later I am. No, I get to struggle 3 years and three miscarriages to get my beautiful daughter. And then I get to try 3 years later only to give my self a life threatening disease that will never go away (intercranial hypertension). I have the scar to prove it. I then wait another year only to have three infertility treatments not work. So I come to you in pure desperation. I am fed up and angry and upset and so on. I sit here thinking that Rose will never know the joy of having a sibling to love and hate. Someone to play with and gang up on and with. These thoughts bring me to tears. So on Wednesday we go back in to the waiting game that is infertility. I have an appointment with repromed an infertility clinic here in Adelaide to discuss where we go from here. We have been trying off and on now for a year with no luck and I have had it up to here with my body. Why am I not typing this to you some of you personally well because... your all pregnant or with new babies. I don't want to say anything that may upset you in anyway but I'm jealous. The green eyed monster has reared his ugly head and I am embracing it with open arms. This might sound horrible but I have tried ignoring it but it won't go away. So I am embracing my anger in hopes that I will find another way of dealing with this. Some of you may not know that it took over three years to get Rose. In the end we lost her twin and nearly lost her in was a very complicated delivery. Some of you were even at this wonderful and frustrating event. (Ps I still love you all for being there.) But for now I am at my ungrateful limit. Yes I should be happy with what I got. I have a beautiful and healthy 4 year old who is smarter then some 8 year olds. But me I want it all! I want another baby so send me your voodoo, your hoodo or whatever it is you do! I have gone off my rocker folks and I don't plan to get back on unless I get my way (DAMNIT). Yes I am 2 years old now shut up and pass the sippy cup! Please, post only complimentary comments that do not include but are not excluded to the following sentences just be patient and it will work or if you just stop thinking about it or perhaps it isn't in Gods plan, you don't want to piss off the infertile women!

stay tunned...

Were back!

I think I'll keep driving!


Everything you need for your "shotgun" wedding! Located in Windsor, Maine. Hussey's slogan is, "If we don't have it, you don't need it."

I don't think I saw that one.

It's a good deal, but... oh, the college costs!

Not everyone likes it that cold!

My Cat Burke

Oh yes, he does look all innocent and sweet but underneath that sweet exterior beats the heart of a maniac. Last night Burke declared war on me. Just about one o'clock in the morning Burke begin to cry. Not just any cry but the cry of an angry Burke. This cry sounds remarkable like someone saying "Mama". Burke has two distant cries one is "Mama" and the other is "Hellllooo." You heard me right my cat speaks to me. So last night Burke begins crying at first I thought it was that he wanted to be in the bathroom so twice I went in the room and turned on the light no Burke. So I go back to bed only to hear him crying again. This time I'm pissed and yelling at him. Liam rolls over and awakes only long enough to let me know that "your arguing with a cat". Yes I know I am arguing with a cat "He started it." Trust me when I say I thought I was going to end it. So I get up once more and turn on the shower and the faucet for just a moment thinking maybe my neurotic cat just wants some "fresh" water. I go back to bed only to here the distict cry of Burke.

Burke "MAMA".

Morgan- "Liam how much do you like Burke?"

Liam- "Why"

Morgan- "Cuz I'm gonna kill him."

I get up with furry in my eyes and the taste of murder on my lips. "Burke, darlin you better run." Please note it is now 2am in the morning and I am not happy. I take off after the now thrilled Burke. Whippee were playing. No, were not. I never did catch him but on my tirade around the house I found two Tyelnol PM and a glass of water. Around three am I got to bed only to be awaken by... Rose "Mama".

Red Tie Event

Yes, thank you, I do look like an opera singer! We had a black tie event for Roses school. I had 1 glass of champagne and 5 glasses of chardonnay. Yes I did dance not with Liam but my girlfriend Ann Marie. We buggied hard. So despite me balking hard at going I had fun and plan to go next year. Next time however I will avoid sitting at the head of the South Australian Church and the Head of the School.

Yes, I am a chunky monkey
