Yeah. It's either the terrible two's or the horrid threes. I don't
think we escape the brunt of their learning.

No kidding. Fours....I remember the fours as truly gruesome. Both of
mine were pretty good at two and three, but four was hell.

Definitely not. What name do they apply to ages 4 and 5??? lol

Frightful fours, I called 'em.

I'd like to add a 4-letter ('F'-word)+ing to that Frightful fours... Just
seems a bit more suitable, if you wouldn't mind.

This thing has a fat, hard head shoved right in my ribs. That's what's
driving me mad. And that it insists on dancing on my bladder quite often.
That's another thing I can't wait to end!

Ah, yes. T was a footling breech, for which reason, I had a booked
caesarian. They tried turning her, but, well, I've tried turning her a
few times since, in various ways, and it's just not on. That's one
focused kid! Focused on a good day; stubborn, when I've had enough.
LOL It's probably got her where she is today, though.

Zach was the same way, but my OB didn't know it. It was a big surprise
followed very quickly with an emergency c-section, with a lot of morphine
right after. I like morphine. lol Luckily Bran turned himself around
at 33 weeks. Something about my uterus being a funky shape where it can't
turn around one way or another come the ending, and it also makes for being
turned around nearly impossible, so whatever way it ends up being towards
the last month or so, that's the way it's supposed to stay - according to my
doc.

Anyway, moving right along. T had a foot planted right on top of my
bladder, and her head up under my ribs. Felt like my chest was gonna
explode, and every time she moved even slightly, WHAM! I was off and
running to the nearest facility. I feel for ya too, kiddo....oh, how I
feel for you.

This one, however, I am positive its head is shoved nicely up my ribs and,
like you said, with a foot nicely on my bladder. I know the feeling of a
run-waddle to the closest washroom. I now sleep with a 'pee-pee pad' under
me in bed - just in case! My friend works for a lady as like a home support
worker, and when her boss orders the diapers for one of the girls, I
believe, she gets these hospital pad things. The boss doesn't use them and
gave them to my friend, since she's about 6 weeks behind me. There's been
many times I've run up the stairs trying to make it to the washroom!

Hang in there xkatx. It'll be over soon. By the time you have your
baby, I'll be in Wales, and we'll both be out of our misery.....

Oooh... That would be nice. I'd like to be in Wales right now, or,
actually, anywhere... Going sale shopping at Old Navy today with above
friend at the mall. That could be a nice change!

PS: We're going to a wedding in Whitehorse in August. You & CME gonna
be around the third week in August? We're tossing around the idea of
driving out via Alberta.....

C

Oh you should! The lovely dead landscape Alberta offers is great to drive
through! Can't say for CME, but where else would I be with a cranky newborn
and obnoxious 4 year old?? LOL
