Younger Couples Chat ~ January 2008 #2

HMM ok

well DH and i meet when i was 19, we knew starught away that we wanted to be together and wasted now time in starting a family. Teleah was concieved about 6 weeks later. Dh propposed just before my 20th.
Teleah was born. We got married 2 days before my 22nd bday and decided to start TTC a baby just after our honey and Annika was first try.
we had a few probs and seperated for a bit, but now everything is all good.
No 3 baby was a whoopsie but we are very happy. we were hoping to wait til Telah started school but this bubba wanted to be here.
Deifed a few odds as we were charting to try and NOt concieve as i cant take the pill. we thought we were safe ut this bub was concieved on day 20 of a 28 days cycle, which apparently is very rare as both girls were concieved day 13-14 so i am guessing might of ovulated twice.

so anyway bubs is due 3rd april and we unfort didnt get to find out the sex due to bubs legs closed but we are having a 4D scan on wed which we are hoping to see what it is but am planning on trying to keep the sex quiet.

I used to love to part before DH but am not reall yinto it now. I have unfort lost alot of friends this way cause they either have kids and get them babysat to go out or dont have kids or the time for me and mine.

so thats me in a nutshell

hello again nessa lol! what part of adelaide r u in? I am way south.

well girls it has been busy. the thermostat on my car airconditioner went today so that is getting fixed 1st thing in the morning. at least today wasn't too hot. we still have no radio in the car bcoz it will be replaced by the dealer when we get it serviced (we travel way too far each week, we only got the car november and we are already 1/2 way to our next service) so hopefully they remember. if they forget i am almost ready to just go and buy a decent one from JB HIFI.

I'm ok for now. I have mediation tomorrow, so will tell you all about it tomorrow ok.

Thanks for all your support and hugs. And sorry for not doing any personals.

Maddi has been really unsettled for a couple of days, so we went to the doctor's who told us to goto the hospital.
Spent 5 hours at the hospital & poor Maddi has UTI :(
So she's on antibiotics & needs to have a ultrasound on her kidneys to make sure they are ok, Dr said they are probably fine but it's recommend on baby's under 6 months who have UTI.

Hey Ness!

Welcome, good to see ya here!

@ness - hey! im 26 so i guess im not that young anymore, actually just going through a "young life crisis" i guess, just realised i dont feel 16 anymore! LOL ...But dd was born when i was 19 so i guess i kinda fit in here....
I LOVE your daughters names, absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks girls, I love my DD names too!!!!

Lillyangel- hope your little one gets better soon.

Mummycate- best of luck today with mediation.

Ali- im north bound!!!

Well we should be finding out the sex of our baby tomorrow and I am getting more and more nervous about it. We are really hoping for a boy. Dont get me wrong will be happy with a girl but a boy will be nice.

Oh poor lill Maddi!!! Hope she feels better soon.

Had THE MOST uncomfortable sleep lastnight. Lill bean was wriggling, poking and rolling around. Not to mention the BH contractions that I kept getting plus I had to get up and make something to eat at about 10:30pm cause I was so hungry......also bean was pushing on my cervix (soooooo painful) I seem to be more aware of my tummy lately and how it feels....it's weird! Bring on the next 9 weeks so I can meet the little monkey!!!

lilyangel: I might sound silly but what is UTI? Sorry i've just never heard of it.
Cathrine: Good luck 4 today, keep us posted.
Nessa: When u find out r u going 2 tell us ladies?!
Well girls i just got back from a staff meeting at work, not sure y i had 2 go i only work on saturdays. I took Bella, poor thing was so bored! She's sleeping now, wahts news with u ladies or is it a bit early 4 everyone?

Oh and forgot to add that I had the MOST excruciating leg cramp....never had one in my life but this one that I had was sooo bad. If I'd had a knife I'm sure I would have cut off my leg just to stop the pain!

Nina: Have u been told not 2 point ur toes down coz it can sometimes can cause cramps.
I remember when I was pg with Bella, during the night i woke up, screaming, aaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Coz a cramp was so bad. Im cracking up right now thinking about it, coz i scared the **** out of clint and he jumped out of bed ready 2 fight an intruder! Hahahahahaha

Morning Ladies.

MY friend kym found out she didnt get into her course for uni she is upset gosh i felt useless poor thing.
I am not bad this morning, i feel like crap. but ah ill live i suppose.


Nina- sorry u had the pain that sucks.

Kass- a staff meeting those are always exciting lol...what was it for?

jess the staff meeting was just a good excuse 4 the boss 2 get Bella and i up really early! I felt so bad i had 2 wake her, poor thing she was having a sleep in :-( it was just coz he's going away and wanted us all 2 know how 2 run things while he's gone. How come u feel like crap?
There's not much u can say 2 ur friend cant she get in tafe or find a way around getting in, it might make the course a lil longer but at least she'll b doing what she wanted 2. Which is?

Aaaaargh! So much to read and say! LOL I went out for less than 24hrs and look at this! Geees! :lol:

UTI= Urinery Tract Infection.... Nasty Business that.

Yeah, I have but I was asleep when it happened...no idea about how my legs were..lol @ Clint!!! Joel didn't even wake up and I was screamng....nice to know he's there if there is an intruder, lol nah, he was so dog tired lastnight...poor guy. His last few days at work so they are running him ragged.

Ooops lol....

Well I stayed at DP's house last night and it went ok. I was a bit upset that I'd gone there to see him and he seemed like he wasnt interested in me being there... lol, could been just me bein silly of course! But as the evening progressed things got better and he apologised for snapping at me... I got on the bed and left dirt there... lol. So now I am going to stay tonight as well and then tomorrow night we are out for tea. I think things are moving a little faster than I planned, but I miss him so much and he says he misses us too. He really loves Brendan, hes a good dad plays with him and cuddles him AND he sticks to the way I DO THINGS!!! :shock: LOL

Cate, I hope you feel better soon and that your mediation goes well :hug:

Take Care

Hehe Kass and Nina, you guys are funny.... I got cramps when pg with Brendan and it would wake nigel, but he'd tell me to stop being silly and go back to sleep... lol, i'm such a sook!

Sally im so excited 4 u. Weather things move fast or slow it doesn't matter coz its the way its meant 2 b. Does Brendan stay over aswel? How exciting 4 u, things r falling in2 place. U guys never stopped loving eachother, its normal 4 what u guys went through, trust me after Bella was born Clint and I could have easily broken up but we didn't coz i wasn't stronge enough 2 leave him. But now Nigel has it out of hes system, u got ur man back! It's good that being a good dad comes natually 2 him at least u no that its from his heart and of course he missed u both.
Nina : Ur a mummy in 64 days!

ah what a horrible boss sheesh.

ahhh lack of sleep i am sure most of you know how that feels. he is just being a cheeky boy. not sleeping. she wants to do a nursing course. but there is a place at another tafe and is going for an interview soo its a start.

Sally wow how exciting. i dont know you're story but its great to see a dad do that with his son.

Lack of sleep AAACK! LOL Good luck with that one!

My story in a nutshell :p : when brendan was about 6months old we discovered i was pg again.... DF decided that at 16weeks pg he "no longer wanted a family" We were going through some stressful times, his job wasnt secure and we were faced with the thought of moving anyway. I moved in with my parents then a few weeks later he followed and moved in with his folks. At 17wks and 1 day I had a MC (19th NOV 07) by middle of dec, we had started to sort things through. And here we are! lol

lol yeah lack of sleep for the past 13 mths lol im told it gets better lol

Aww im sorry abt ur M/C thatd be horrible to go through.

17wks and 1 day thats horrible. After 12wks u think ur out of the woods, obviously not. Do they know how u lost the bubs?
Its good that Nigel has had hes time know no's what he wants. It's really prob coz he's young and was scared thats the end of fun. But u have just as much, if not more fun when u have a family its a lot more rewarding also. It's good that u gave him the time he needed.
Also just a question: Whats those lil green squares in the right hand corner underneath photo gallery?

Aww Kass...that is so exciting when you put it like that!!!Aaarrrggghhh!!! I'M SO EXCITED TO BE A MUMMY!

Morning All :)

Nessa- Welcome to our chatty group we have here :D.Look forward to getting to know you better. Thinking blue for your ultrasound tomorrow :crossfingers:. Both your DD's names are lovely.

Ali- Hows your car?? what happened, who told you your aircon has a thermostat if i may ask.

Cate- Good luck at the mediation, i hope you can get somethings sorted out.

Mo- Sorry to hear Maddi isnt well UTI arent fun, i hope the ultrasound comes back clear/good :hug:

Kass- Your staff meeting sounds like it was just a PITA. Not much is new here, QLD weathers at its best after the hot/humid day yesterday it has been raining all night and all morning now, QLD weather is like the lottery you just CANT pick it :lol:

Nina- Leg cramps are a PITA arent they, when you get them try and stretch your legs or massage your calf to get rid of them & as Kass said try not to point your toes. Have you tried sleeping with a pillow between your legs? that helps (for some). I woke up with cramps in my calfs a few times last night and no matter how many times i try not to point my toes etc it doesnt work. My legs cramps usually wake me up also, i dont get them during the day as i'm always on the move and never in one spot for too long.

Jess- Sorry to hear your friend didnt get into uni, not much you can do about it but be there to support her through it and hope that she doesnt give up and maybe she can try the next round of applications, or wait until June to apply or even try doing a tafe course in her chosen field (if theres one available) as that should give her credits for the course at uni she wants to do.

Sally- Good to hear things are going well with Nigel, but if things are moving too quickly for you then maybe you should say something to him, but if your happy for things to be moving the way they are go for it!!!!. LOL at leaving dirt on the bed & him snapping at you for it, its dirt for christ sake. Glad that Nigel is sticking to doing things the way you want with Brendan & i;m sure hes a fantastic dad it obviously comes natural to him & suits him.

Anyways enough out of me, i've written a novel to catch up now going to find something to eat for lunch.

Hey JO,
Yeah I can't sleep unless I have a pillow between my legs...it's weird, but I find it sooo comfortable. Even before I was pregnant I did it.

Nina- Bummer that the pillow isnt helping with the leg cramps.

I know eh?
I bought some Mag Phos, see how that goes.
My cat just BIT ME!!! What a cow!

Thanks jessica and kass... i'm dealing with it so atm i'm ok. I got an infection which then led to bubs passing. The green squares are your reputation points. You can give people reputation points by clicking on the little symbol thats next to the post number top right hand corner of the post.

MORNING JO!!

well thanx ladies im obviously not very popular! hehe
An infection thats horrible, how do u look at the situation now?
Question: Clints birthday on Friday he wants a dog, I've put it off 4 ages coz i know ill b the one that'll have 2 train it but he said ill only have 2 look after it 4 a few months then its going 2 work with him. Which is fine but what sort of dog should i get. I only want a small one coz im not dealing with a big dog around Bella. I really want him 2 get one from the RSPCA but i cant go with him as last time i made a scene coz i was so upset, im a really big animal lovern and it made me sad. Also im taking him away saturday afternoon after work, i was going 2 take him 2 a nice motel in melbs that is only $120 a night per person but its all booked out does anyone know of anywhere nice?

Well, everything happens for a reason. :)

Cant help you with the hotel/motel lol. And as far as a dog goes, hmmm thats a really personal choice. Me personally wouldnt get a small "yappy" dog, they are more clingy and therefore get jealous of children (my parents dogs (papillions) dont like brendan) Good Luck :)

Joel wants a dog too. What about a Staffy? They are small and family friendly, but they also look like a MAN'S dog.... maybe a Boxer? They are a happy friendly family dog too, and soooo much fun. What about a Bull Terrier? My uncle had one and he was the most adorable dog. So loving and friendly.
Joel and I are going to have to go through the same thing soon, (choosing a dog) He wants a black Lab, I want a Staffy or Boxer.

Hi ya Kass, (it's Lorelle :hello:)

I usually book a hotel whether staying in Melb or interstate on the website - Wotif.com: Australia Hotels, Accommodation, Motels :computer:

I had a peek 4 u jst b4 but looks like most is booked out 4 this Fri nite. :pray:

I stayed at the Bayview On the Park (b careful not to confuse with the Bayview Eden on the same road, diff block) last Sept as I ws goin 2 a concert at the Palais in St.Kilda. It was a huge room, quite nice, comfy QS bed, tho bathrm nothing special. Beautiful foyer. If u don't want 2 drive u can walk about 2mins 2 get 2 St.Kilda rd & catch a tram 2 either the City or the opp way 2 St.Kilda (only 1 tram frm that tram stop goes 2 St.Kilda, eg. Luna park, Carlisle St cafes, etc...sorry can't remembr name of it). :thumbsup:

I also cld recommend the Radisson On Flagstaff Gardens, room ws jst gorgeous, very modern, very cmfy KS bed, nice size rm. Hotel Dine in breakfast ws jst brilliant, big choice & plenty of area 2 find a nice table. Is short tram ride 2 telsta-dome. :dance:

The Pacific International Suites Melbourne (Little Bourke St), I think it ws called Deluxe One Bdrm Suite, ws jst absolutely massive the suite could hold a party in there. Has huge kitchen & huge dining table. Huge bathroom.Huge lounge area. Is like an open-plan modern big apartment. Nothing shabby there, had a bit of class. Only thing I cld fault is I think the lounge only had a 2 seater. And the area the Hotel is position u need 2 walk a fair distance 2 get 2 the heart of the city (nitelife). :rolleyes:

... :doh: Keep away frm Rydges Nth Melb, ... looks g8 outside BUT once inside passage ways & rm, ... oh my god so old & shabby. Looks like a uni dorm. Worst bed we had eva slept in, lumpy and on a slope. I was 25wks preg & DH had 2 push me like up a hill 2 get me out of bed. Pillows augh, ... anothr story. Staff were rude ... And breakfast ws jst shocking. That ws one b'day nite I will neva 4get !!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CLINT :happybirthday: ( my b'day ws ystdy, ... Go us goats, LOL)

thanx 4 that lorelle i just had a quick look myself and it looks like it'll help me out so ill have another look 2night when clint gets home. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 4 yesterday!!! Id do a cute lil smilie but i dont know how.
Nina: Joel wants the dog i want and u want the dog clint wants. Hehehe Look anything we get im just so scared that ill naglect it dur 2 giving 100% 2 Bella but i guess like everything else that pops in2 our life, aka Bella i can adjust 2. I love Staffys 2 so ill think about that one. If i get a big heavy dog Bella will b bolled over all the time when she's learning 2 walk I dont kow i guess there's pro's and con's 2 both.
Sally: I think i've said it time and time again, I think ur very stronge 4 everything u've gone through and i see clear, blue sky's from here on in 4 u, things r looking up! Is it nice 2 cuddle up 2 Nigel in bed again? That's one of my fav things 2 do is jump in bed and snuggle. Im a BIG softy!

I love cuddling up :D Good thing he does too!!

awwww we r all big softies arent we?

ive had a horrible day i had my purse stolen which upset me alot and a car round the block caught fire (gas) and the guy was trying to put it out with a hose. silly man.
