hey all
how are you
i'm misty i'm 18 and my daughter is 3 months on friday

Moni, it really depends. If kaleeya will take you theres no reason why you couldnt see them. I had more appts with Brendan than what I've had so far. I was on fortnightly appts from 16 weeks, this time I've only had 3 since 15 weeks (I'm 25 now) Brendan's pregnancy was quite troubled though.

Hi Misty, welcome!

Welcome Donna, i love ur avatar :)

Welcome Misty, your in melb too. How you finding be a new mum?? sleep deprived yet? lol

We are all setlled in thanks tracy, girls are loving it, alyssa was a bit scared at first as her room is so far away from ours but shes ok now i've changed the curtains. apparently the other curtains were scary ??? Don't know how curtains are scary but thats kids for ya, just plain weird. lol.

Today im not feeling so good, i have a massive headache and a sore throat thanks to a viral thing apparently. Charli has the same thing and has been since 5.30 this morning. luckily she had a 2 hour nap with me so i dont feel so tired.

She's behind me now trying to crawl, so cute, it looks like she's trying to stand up though sometimes. lol.

only 15 weeks to go Sal, must be exciting.


Lunch is ready. Chou ladies.

I've been having help from an employment agency, and so I hope that will help me to get a job. There isn't really much around at all, but I'm hoping the things I am being taught by the employment agency will help me find something by cold calling/door knocking.

So far things are fine, I've been really tired lately and have been getting sick at night. I've thrown up a few times. I hope it goes away soon, I'm trying to function at work (when I get a job).

hey everyone, how have you all been?
hope you all had a great easter.
i had my ultra sound the other day and im 10 weeks and 3 days today. it looks very healthy. im due on the 20th of november.
well speak soon. xxx

Thats awesome Amy, hope your feeling ok. Are you gonna find out the sex??

Echidna- MS sucks, hope it gets better for you, and hopefully a job will pop up soon. :D

My virus has almost gone, just a croaky throat now but Lys was sick AGAIN this morning, i've made an appointment for her to see our family doc but couldnt get in until 14th may, she will prob have to have an u/s to check out her tummy and see why shes getting sick all the time, its starting to really worry me, she threw up 8 times in 3.5hrs this morning then fell asleep, woke up and was fine, this happens every couple of weeks, no1 i know thinks its normal and im worried about the long term effects it will have on her tummy from throwing up so much. Hopefully this doc app will give us some much needed answers.

Tomorrow im ringing up to book in my Kids Aid certificate, basically a first aid cert but directed more at kids, Charli feeds herself so i wanna be prepared if she does choke one day.

My baby girl can now say 4 WORDS im so proud of her, mummy was her first of course :dance: followed by bub, dad and now hi, although DP only got to hear her say dad for the first time yesterday she was being very cheeky and wouldnt say it infront of him, we went shopping and he gave her to me and walked away and she said it but he didnt hear, it was like she was calling him........so cute.

Well i hope everyones well, i better head off to bed and get some shut-eye, charli went down at 6.20pm tonight so no doubt she'll be up super early tomorrow :doh:

Thanks Kirra :D

Sucks to hear you've been sick, too... DH and I were sick over Easter (good ol' DD giving us her germs again lol) and I've had a raging sinus infection ever since... it got so bad on the left side I went to my GP begging for antibiotics, even though I don't like taking anything stronger than a glass of Coke while I'm expecting, she fluffed about with some excuse about government guidelines and Medicare's cost-cutting, long story short they're being advised not to prescribe antibiotics as they 'don't really do anything', so she told me to just take some Panadeine... RAWR!! It got worse, so bad that I even forked out to get a dentist to look at my teeth and make sure I didn't have a huge cavity or something, he said it all looks fine to him and it must just be the pressure from my blocked sinus cavity :( So I've been in tears on and off for weeks!!
But... fingers crossed... it looks like the infection might finally be breaking. I won't gross you out with details, but my snot is looking healthier hahaha :D

DD has been running around bare-bummed all day today - only peed on the floor twice!! Hahaha so proud. If I can just get her to the potty in time ONCE, she'll have it sorted I think... but I've always got my back turned (looking at BB too much lol) so I miss it every time :D

kirra- no were nto finding out this time. dp really wants a suprise, like he did with maddie but i found out anyway, so this time i will respect his wishes and wont find out.
thats very strange about Alyssa, i hope it all get solved asap.

Gothmum- i know that you mean about weeing every time you have your back turned, maddie is exactly the same, can be so frustrating, i spose its getting hard for you to bend down and clean it up to. they keep you on your toes dont they... lol

Amy how exciting :D

Kirra, yay for Charli!!

Donna, Ouchie about the infection, hope its cleared up soon.

Well I've had some week.
Went into premature labour last tuesday, 26 weeks. They stopped it and I went home Friday. I have steroids on board now for bubs lungs. Am on bed rest, which is funny as I have a 2yo to run around after :P

From 1 bed to another - Hey Sal :lol: Nah it's not funny, it is incredibly boring. Have you looked into daycare or is there a grand parent that can look after Brendan while you are resting? My 2 are in care while DH is at work and he is doing everything (washing, shopping, cooking, nappies, you name it) when he gets home. He is exhausted though.
Plenty of sticky vibes for you hun, you are baking a full termer. No more hospy trips.

Will BBS maybe, I can hear Em crying and DH has completely crashed so I am going to try to settle her by standing there with my frame talking to her.

Oh Donna, u poor thing, screw the government if u need medication they should give it to you. I wasn't that bad i was just more worried if it was bacterial that i would pass it on to charli. LOL on the Bare bum, kids just love to be naked eh?

Amy- Atleast u'll have the suprise to look forward to, if i ever had another i think i would want it to be a suprise.

Sal & Alli- Hope your resting lots and taking care of yourselves, being preg and having a kid to run after just isnt as fun as when ur preg with your 1st and can be lazy all day.

your telling me i have 3 lil ratbags to chase lol im deffinatly hoping this tiredness wears of in a couple weeks lol

Your much braver than i, im too scared to even go back for a 3rd :wall: i dont know what i would do, prob go bonkers. lol

my goodness sally, i hope the steroids do their job and bub is a full termer. what a shock, i dont think any of us saw that coming as this pregnancy has been smooth sailing hasnt it?
well thinking of you anyway.
i cant beleive how many of us are pregnant. we should write a list of when everyone is due just to see.
my morning sickness has been driving me bonkers today, i emptied hte bin and scrubbed it and it still stinks and im gagging on it haha.
well best get back to cooking dinner.
hope all stays well for every one.
xx

Lol Kirra I don't know what I was thinking going back for #2!!
I'm spewing atm because DH's boss has been on the rag since Easter, and what with everybody tiptoeing around for fear of losing their jobs at a time like this, I'm worried that I'll have to come home from hospital like 24 hours after having bub and be left alone to cope with DD and a newborn by myself because DH is too afraid to ask for time off!! He used all his sick leave/holidays last year when his mum died (not that he had much to start with, they force their employees to take whatever leave they have at Christmas), and it takes ages to work it back up again, kwim??
:(



Sally, my fingers are crossed for you, hope you're getting plenty of rest and that bub decides to stay put for a while longer!! Good luck!

hey guys how is everyone?
sally how is everything with bub?
gothmum, are you still here? was your dd early, on time or late?
i had a bit of bleeding last night so made an appointment at the docs for tomorrow, sorry if it is tmi but it was just after sex so not sure if that caused it but im not in any pain and the bleeding has stopped so i think all is ok. i have an ultra sound on monday anyway so will find out then, just a little concerned because i had a miscarriage last june and i didnt bleed with maddie so im not used to it.
hope all is well with everyone.
speak soon :)

with my first i got some dark red blood after sex so you are probably right and thats what it is...very exciting having your scan on monday..im going to try get a normal one but if i cant do the NT one,you should join the bb groups were all very nice and its good to talk about pg stuff with ppl at the same point as you

I had a lil bleed with Charli at 5.5 wks, i freaked out, it was after i went shopping i got a cramp and then decided to go home and once i got outa the car i felt it come out (TMI) and i was balling my eyes out, my mum rushed me straight to the doc who was an absolute a$$hole. But all ended up ok thank god.

Goth Mum- i sooo know what u mean, DP is forced to take atleast from 24/12 til 2/1 off every year and if he doesnt have annual there then they go without pay, sucks a bit cause sometimes it would be better for him to work then and have his annual at a less busy time.

How are all the rest of u pregnant ladies doing? Hope u r all taking it easy.
