Younger Couples Chat - Feb 2008

So I go away from Sat till last night & soooo much to catch up on. We went to Bright & it was fantastic weather, my bum hurts soo much coz we did a 20km bike ride yesterday morning, but it was hot enough to go swimming in the pool when we got back.

Ash- Congradulations

Kass - Let us know how you go with your test

SAl: Hi, A themmed wedding....what theme...do tell!!

It will be a 40s-50s wedding, me & DF are into big band, swing & Jazz, and like a lot of stuff from that era. I got a pattern for my dress last week but I wont be starting to make it until we have a date

Sally- Say happy birthday to Brendan for me

Sorry if I missed anyone

Kass: big hugs :hug: Hopefully it'll be enough of a scare for Clint. If you are and whatever you decide to do we are all behind you 100%

Sal: wondered where you got to!! Thanks for the bday wishes, he had a great day :D

Jo: glad Sophie ios being good for you :)

Jess: :hug: sounds like "one of those days" hugs

Im thinking that im not pregnant after all..i had cramps last night & this morning so im thinking that AF is on its way & the only other symptoms i have are tiredness, peeing alot, get more frequent headaches & i still have CM which is weird coz it usually stops before AF comes but oh well :doh:

---

Hun, i had a little bit of cramping when i was pg - both times! TEST TEST TEST!!!!! better to know for sure than to have it up in the air

OMG! I am sooooo not skilled enough to make a dress! hope it looks fabulous!


So far no msg from Jade. she promised she would msg me when she goes into hospy, coz if she doesn't i will b the only 1 that turns up 4 playgroup :lol: i will let u all know when i know something is happening.

Thanx all 4 the good lucks! Im hoping im not but like all the ones b4 that came up :bfn:, i would b secrectly sad as i would have got myself used 2 the idea hahaha im a hard one 2 please! Ill let u all no asap, it would b very exciting 2 add 2 the ticker :p

Ali - When I work out how to use our scanner properly I will post up the pattern pic, or if I dont figure out how to use it Ill just post up the pic of the dress when I make it

omg kass hurry up and do it i wanna know ROFL

Kass- where are you? did you do the test?

Sal- glad you had a good time away, and you should know us by now theres ALWAYS lots to catch up on ;). The theme idea for the wedding sounds great and totally original. Cant wait to see what your dress looks like.

Sally- yeah Sophie has been great today, she had pains in her tummy this morning while i was feeding her so i pushed her legs up to help her and **** it stunk and wasnt pleasant to change either and Chris was asleep so i couldnt palm it off to anyone to change, must be the formula i've been giving her as my milk is decreasing and looking less and less milky like (if that makes sense).

hey guys, im back -
will try post a bit more tomorrow. including birth story for those of you that want more details. :lol:
alex is a little gem so far so i am rapt.
talk soon!

WB Ash and congrats again!! hes a cutie!

congrats ash hes cute as!

WHERE is kass lol

OMG....so much exciting stuff going on in here today!!!

Ash: Alexander is just tooo cute!! What a proud mamma you must be!

Only 21 days to go for me.....EEEKKK! I have been getting period type pains for about 4-5 days now....BH???? Getting less and less sleep and getting really irritable!

Been doing wedding planning like some of the other girls, and that is driving me NUTSO~ Our celebrant is $500!! Weddings are just so redicilously expensive. Our catering is going to cost 4 grand and that is without venue hire or anything like that. I quoted my flowers the other day and they priced me for a vase of Jasmine on each table $25!!!! I pretty much said "Get bent" and spoke to mum about it...we are going to source all the flowers ourselves. It will work out MUCH cheaper. I have $15,000 to spend but I only really want to spend 10! If other people can get married on $6,000 we can do something similar.....seriously I feel like it's a waste. I can't justify 15,000!!!!mmmmmm rant over....

How are you all today? I have been resting the last couple of days cause I just can't bring myself to do anything. Just getting so tired. Feels like I'm in my first tri again!

Jess: lill Jaylen is a cutie!

oo 21 days rustygirl not long! ur due on my mums bday lol :)
goddd weddings are expensive! i could never justify spending that much money :P mayyyybe one day, never realli wanted to get married lol
yer the last few weeks of my pregnancy i could not be bothered doing anything!

Ash - Welcome back, Alexander is so cute!

Nina - Not long now

Yeah weddings are really expensive, we've been getting little things at a time (like the patterns) and I put money into one of those tins you cant open every week. But we probly wont get married until about 2010

Goodmorning all :)

OMG ASh, he is soooo adorable!! You are doing a great job! :D

Kass, how did the test go???

rustygirl, ooo so close :) are you getting excited??

Jo, which formula are you using? (if you dont mind me asking?)

Well we celebrated Nigel's birthday yesterday (he's now 22) and his mum did a joint thing for both Brendan and Nigel, it went ok, except they waited too long (after 8:30) for the cake and Brendan was over tired. I was sooo tempted to just put him to sleep and try and teach them a lesson but couldn't be bothered copping any **** for it. 8:30 woulda been ok if Brendan was back onto Perth time properly... but he's not yet. He's getting tired at 7:30.

Needles today poor lil man.
take care everyone :)

Jess: Yeah I didn't realise just how expensive things were intil I started organising it all! It is a joke. It's like as soon as you say "Wedding" things go up by like 300%!!!

Sal and Sally: I am getting very excited! I just uploaded pics of the nersery if you guys wanna have a look?!?!?

Well ladies i was in tears this morning :cry: I dont get it, Bella goes down at 8 sometimes later sometimes even a bit ealier then she'll sleep till anywhere between 12am-2am then wakes every half hr or 2hrs! By 4:30am she was up ready 4 the day but i got her down eventually (sp) at 5:30am then she woke at 7:30am and mum brought her in2 me. (mums staying with us while her floor boards r getting done at her house)
Clints going "Go 2 sleep!" to Bella and Im like "Shut up ****head, u have 2 deal with it 4 about hr then u go 2 work."
Agggrrrrr........
She's getting better during the day so hopefully she gets better at night. Also she's easier 2 put down now then a stage she went through after teething.
I dont no im at my wits end!
Mum always tells me off 4 getting frustrated, which ****s me coz thats all i let out, i never admit when im having trouble, i feel like a bad mummy. Then mum makes me feel worse when i get frustrated.
Im going around in circles :wall:
Havent done the test yet, cant deal with more stress. :rolleyes:
Promise ill do it 2day and post asap, thanx 4 thinking of me girls

As ur man is perfect! How r u?

Don't worry Kass. Your not a bad Mummy at all. This is just the way it is with babies~ Easy for your Mum to say that, she isn't dealing with it all the time (and Clint) it will get better.... just keep doing what your doing and she will mould to you!

P.S easy for me to say too....but I'm sure I have it coming!!!

Nina - the nursery looks great

Sally- Hope Brendan goes well with the needles

Kass - Hang in there, your a strong cookie & mum knows best (as in u not ur mum) :hugs:

Morning ladies - I'm not at work yet again - my wrist has gotten worse (this sucks typing one handed) I'm getting shooting lightning pains going up and down my arm and it's just agony :(

Ash - Alexander is so very gorgeous! I'm sure you're going to be a great mum!

rustygirl - Only 21 more days! Wow! Good luck with the birth - Our wedding budget right now is $8,000 - We got our venue for the ceremony for only $160 - but it's the catering and reception venue we've got more of the problem with.. that and the celebrant, which I can't decide on.

Brendansgirl - Happy birthday to Nigel! Their birthdays are so close

Kas - Big hugs.. I'm kinda having troubes with my DF... Because of my wrist this morning, I was in absolute tears and all DF could say and do was get worried about me not earning money while I'm sitting at home and no working... which was not my fault at all :( :hug:

Anyways, my wrist is throbbing and I'm gonna go watch some family guy :)

ey guys thanx 4 ur surpport :hugs:
Sally give brendan a kiss good luck 4 Bella and i
Nina the advice is good weather ur bubs is here yet or not ;) Besides u were a mummy the day u feel pg :bellyrubs:
Lizjesse: I think guys just dont think b4 they talk and they'll all the same............ i wonder if being a lesbian would make it easier. hahaha At least girls understand eachother hahaha

rustygirl, the nursery is awesome!! I wish I could have had a nursery... never got the time to :( and still haven't!! LOL... he will have his own bedroom oneday.

Kass, you are a great mum... please don't ever doubt yourself. You are beautiful and so is Bella. The teething will pass. :hug:

LizJessie, yeah Brendan was born the day before Nigels :) (even though he was due 14days before my Birthday, in May)

Well, Brendan's needles went well. He cried... and I hated it but he's home asleep now :) HE SAID MUMUMUMUM!!!!!!!! I'm so happy :D

I cant believe we are at page 24 already!!

lol....

Yeah i think they must have decided to just give us a thread per month because we were going through five or something... surely they can't have overlooked it for this long if that is not the case?!!!!

Sally, wow that's such good news about Brendan! :D

Wow all this talk of weddings!!! Haha ill get there soon enough.

I'm a bit of a shocker for personals today, am a bit out of it. Thanks all for your welcome backs - i'm in the middle of posting photos - so far i've got the post-birth photos up, but will get some 'cuter' ones up later.

In a bit of a bad mood with MIL - might have to have a rant in boohoo room later.

Alex just waking for a feed so ill be back after!

Oh Ash, he's gorgeous!! I'm just looking through his pics now :)

:bfn: for me, not brothers or sisiters 4 Bella!!! :dance:

Good news hun! do you still have a 'what if' flying around?


Trini - still waiting for your test :p - getting impatient here :p

Ash he is GORGEOUS!!! can i have 1 like him?!

that 'what if' is still flying around :p

ali - i will do a test in the morning before i go to uni but i wouldnt get your hopes up..im expecting a BFN because again today i had some discomfort near my pubic bone (but a little higher) & im assuming AF will be coming :)

Hey girls.
Welcome back Ash!!
Sorry not up to date with all the personals, bit puffed out for today and just needa relax i think...i will catch up soon though!! Its been so hot today.
Hoping your all well :)

I go away for one day and have heaps to catch up on haha.

Ash- WELCOME BACK :confetti: checked out your pictures and Alex is gorgeous!!. How funny does your belly feel after giving birth haha.

Sally- i dont mind you asking the formula i've been giving Sophie is the s26 gold one but she seems windy from it and doing less poo's so i was wondering whether i should change the formula brand i've heard good things about the Nan brand. Happy B'day to Nigel what a PITA about the cake and honestly who wouldnt have noticed that Brendan was tired. Glad the needles went well, got 3 weeks before Sophie's first lot.

Nina- nursery looks awesome. Where did you get that thing thats on the side of the change table? i want one haha.

Kass- woohoo for the BFN, i bet Clint has learnt his lesson about raincoats ;) bummer about Bella not sleeping.

Liz- refresh my memory: what have you done to your wrist?.
Havent even looked at stuff for weddings, when we know when it will be i'll start looking.

Jo, just a suggestion but maybe try her on the plain label?? Especially if she seems constipated. I swear by Heinz nuture... not only is it the cheapest but it also has a higher "good fat" content than some of the other brands. I tried about 6 different formulas before going to Heinz... it's really a trial and error thing to find the best one that suits your bub. I've heard some good things about Nan HA too.

Meg, how are you?? What you been up too??? Glad to see you still come on here :D
