Congrates Laney on the arrrival of your little boy. Wow there are a lot of boys in this thread
Jayne, I don't think I'd really registered on just how sick Jess was before. Scary.
But you've reminded me I haven't taken my medications tonight (and it's Friday, so back to the methotrexate!) and I really should. DH has picked up some extra work tomorrow morning in his old line of work with someone that he used to work with in the old company that has stuck with the same work but moved on to a new company. The old company pretty much folded shortly after DH left - so glad we aren't still relying on that work! But I need to take them soon otherwise (especially with the methotrexate) I won't be in any shape to look after Sam tomorrow morning.
So as much as I intended to stick around longer and write a longer post - I'm going to run away now. And it's Jayne's fault!

Oooooh, I had a lovely visit with Kelly and Campbell yesterday!!! He is such a cutie pie, and looks so much like his daddy :). He has the loveliest hair, it's all golden and so soft. And *brag coming up* I got to see him have his first bath!!! Daddy did it, and Luke was there to 'help', as 3 year olds like to do :). It was really cute. Kel really looks fantastic, although it sounds as though she hit the wall last night. Please everyone, nag her to rest, and tell her there's no rush!!! I'm hoping to go back in tomorrow, though I'll probably have a child with me for that visit. Will still be lovely though! And yes, I promise I hugged both Kelly and Campbell for all of you, she can confirm that :D
Wet yucky day here today, after a lovely week of warmth and sunshine. DH's cricket has been called off though, so that's a bonus. Off to a trivia night tonight, fundraising for ABA, hope it goes well! DS2 went to the paed last week, he is doing really well. Crawling (commando style) and just an all-round fidget bum LOL. He never stops moving, not even to eat or drink! He is so small, really tiny still, but (bless her) our paed is not worried because she can see why. ie. he doesn't like eating and he doesn't stop moving! We've had some progress with food this week though, milk too, which is good. So yeah, instead of sitting just under the 3rd centile as he was, he is now falling off his curve, but as he's doing so much no one is worried :). DS1 is hysterical, the things he comes out with. We have alot of fun, although he is certainly challenging at times ;).
Currently sipping my tea in peace, as DS2 is asleep, and DH has taken DS1 to the local deli, which is their current Saturday morning ritual. Enjoying the silence while it lasts, I know it won't be long! Best go and clean up the toys now, have a great weekend everyone!
Janie How lucky are you that you got to have cuddles with Campbell :)
I just want to add that Sage was always well under the 3rd centile thing in the blue book too and our gorgeous Paed was never worried as he always was doing everything else he should have at the time and like he (Paed) said to us on many many occasions.."someone has to be around that mark and someone has to be above the 90th centile." It wouldn't be any good if all babies were exactly the same height,weight etc etc..What a boring world it would be if that was the case ;)
Jayne Have a wonderful time in Bejing. Did you end up letting the girls stay home Thursday? I would have if it was me :)
Willow Your post made me cry when I read it the other day..you know why ;) How is everything going and is L better?
Michelle I just want to tell you I'm thinking of you and will be thinking of you on Monday as you tackle another of the "1sts" :hug: I wish there was something I could do to make things a little easier.
Layney I have been thinking of you and by the sounds of Beks post Congratulations are in order..I'd best be off to check out the BA thread :)
Not much happening here except counting down the days to my surgery. I'm a little ticked off about my mum atm though..she knew when my appointment was and she still hasn't asked how it went so she has no idea I'm being operated on this week. I'm not going to tell her. This might sound nasty and awful on my part but seriously how hard is it to ask your daughter how the appointment went. Oh and to top it off my step dad TOLD me yesterday that Sage NEEDS a sister or a brother..Um hello we are not all like your drug addict daughter who pops a kid out every 12 or 13 months and can't be bothered to look after them now are we...Have you forgotten about the 6 little angels we have and how 4 of these happened after Sage was born GRRRR Sorry for that rant but I just needed to get that off my chest.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend and Oh my how hot is it for a change?? Might head to the lake for a swim with Sage after his sleep this arv :)
Oh, did I miss something? Did Laney have her baby???? I've been thinking of her lots lately, and keep meaning to post in here and see if she's still around.
I think she had her bub because I saw some posts on FB. No BA on here though
Laney was due to go in for her c-section on Wednesday (but with the time difference.. it was about the same time as me)!! I've been hanging out to hear all the details too!!!
Janie - It was sooo wonderful to see you yesterday and would be great if you get time to pop in again!!! You're ALWAYS welcome.. it's been a bit boring in here!! Yeah... the drugs took effect after you left and I went a bit downhill from there but all good... just struggling getting the pain under control again.. its so frustrating. My milk is coming in too and it's not much fun but Campbell is an absolute champion so I'm over the moon!! I just can't wait to go home with my boys. I miss Luke terribly!
Anyway must get some sleep.. feeling really average again tonight. Might have to send Campbell to the nursery again so I can really rest up... I can't sleep with him in here!! He's had a good feed, so hopefully he'll go a few hours now!
Kel xxxx
I've got to stop reading after I take my pain meds! I see mention of things that just leave me baffled and confused and then I have to go back and read over them.
Kelly, it's lovely to hear that Campbell and you are doing so well!
Mako... :hug:
I need to have a little brag about how clever my boy is! I had never really thought that he knew what happens on which day of the week until today. But it is now apparent that he knows that the day after day care is the day daddy stays home. And that he also knows that if daddy is ironing a shirt and a pair of pants, then daddy is going to work. He saw DH ironing today and just HOWLED! His poor little heart was broken, daddy was going to work on a day he wasn't meant to. Normally when DH goes to work the crying doesn't start until he's walking out the door. Today was very different. Fortunately, DH had just picked up some extra work through a friend he used to work with and went to do the sound, etc for santa's arrival at a shopping centre near here. I hope that next time Sam picks a less heart-wrenching way of showing me how clever he is!
Oh... and I don't have Laney on facebook so am completely in the dark on her baby. Hope someone can fill me in.

hi ladies, Brexton August was born on Nov. 10th at 11:26am. He weighed in at 8lbs7oz, a bit less than expected! I am feeling pretty good now but was very sick during and after the section, once again. We are home and trying to get some rest. will be back when i am in a little less pain. Thank you for thinking of us.
Just a quick one from me to say CONGRATULATIONS Laney on the birth of Brexton. Glad you're home now and hopefully you are able to rest as much as you need.
Kelly Do you know when you're allowed to go home? Glad to hear Campbell is doing so well :)
Congratulations, Laney!
Michelle, you will be in my thoughts tomorrow. :hug:
Hi Ladies,
BW _ Yes, I'm still processing some things in my mind about Jessica being so ill. I still have issues about it all & I still wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat about it. I know she wasn't nearly half as sick as lots of children get, but she was the sickest any of MY children have ever been. She had a chest infection, two massively infected kidneys & a renal abscess that was grossely infected. I'm still trying to figure out how she went from perfectly fine one day, so collapsing the next. But we are getting there now & she has put the weight back on & is thriving once again.
LANEY _ Congratulations on the birth of your little man - Brexton. I don't think I have ever heard that name, is it one that you saw in a book or one that you just thought 'you know what, I like the name Brexton?' Can't wait to see an up to date ticker pic!
KELLY _ Well listen to you on your posts! Little Miss My Baby is Just Doing Super!!! I'm soooooooooo glad for you darl! You sound so bright & perky & in love & it's just wonderful.
JANIE _ Gush, gush, cluck, cluck, you are no longer my friend. I'm insanely jealous you spending so much time with Kelly & Campbell & were witness to such a lovely moment of Ryann bathing Campbell with Luke. But lucky I luffs you!!! xx
WILLOW _ You packing yet? When is the big move?
MAKO _ Some people just have no tact or no class. I'm so sorry that everybody seems to be attacking you & I'm so upset your mum hasn't acknowledged your appointment. Just so you know, we are all here by your side, even when others who should be aren't.
BUN _ I haven't heard from you in ages, how you going?
SPRING _ How you going chick?
ANNA _ You too? How's the study?
MICHELLE _ See you Skype woman!
BEK _ You're right, it's a boys world right now isn't it??? How are you going?
DEB _ Have been meaning to ask about Immy & her progress, etc...? How is everything going there? Something I wanted to ask in Melbourne, but didn't want to make you feel as though I was prying, etc... Also, with Ruby? Anything happening there?
AFM _ We went to Beijing for the weekend to do some winter shopping for the girls. I was feeling very off colour, so we didn't do much shopping, just happened to get some essentials. Winter jackets, new runners, etc... & our flight got in late last night so the kids are having a pj day at home today. I have a mountain of washing to catch up on, so best I get onto that.
Love Jayne x
Hey Jayne - We are all doing well hun. I haven't much to report except the girls are keeping me super busy. Sara is starting school next year and she is so excited.It was her 5th birthday on the 9th. We had a family bbq and a Pony Cake. It is Loren's bday on the 9th of December and my bubba will be 3!!! Eva is waking, climbing, running and chucky tanties everywhere!!! AFM - I've been running/walking every single morning, but do ya think I've lost any weight..NUP!!!
Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been in for so long - I forgot to subscribe to the new thread and just thought everyone was being really quiet! I have just had three pages to catch up on! I am so happy for Kelly and Laney - congrats on your beautiful baby boys guys, I am so happy for you both. It sure is the year for boys isn't it?
We have been busy planning our move back west and I feel like we are constantly cleaning so people can view the house. It sounds like a couple of people are very interested so hopefully we will get an offer soon. I have been feeling a little anxious lately - I always get this way before a big move, it stresses me out. It shouldn't, as we are moving back to family and I have done it all before, but I just get a bit sad leaving all my wonderful friends here and I know it will take a while to settle back into Perth, especially for the kids. It will be fine though, and it will be lovely to spend Christmas with our families.
Jayne - I am loving hearing about your adventures in China! You have adjusted so well and I am not at all surprised that you have made new friends, you are a very likeable person :) And it sounds like the kids are doing great! For what it's worth, I agree with you skipping school on the dentist day - the kids have had enough on their plates lately as it is and are handling it all remarkably well. Am I right that you are coming back to Perth for Christmas? I hope you are feeling ok now.
Bek - I hear you girl! I have been exercising and eating heaps less and do you think I have lost any weight - NUP, me neither!!
Spring - I just saw your FB post about Ben almost walking - woohoo! Josh is only just furniture surfing but is desperate to walk. He can crawl sooooo fast though and he and Catherine have crawling races - it is very cute!
Mako - sorry about your Mum hun. I don't know if it helps, but we all love you and are thinking of you! I hope the surgery goes well. I am not sure if I will be online much in the next week as we are going away and then have friends staying so I wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of you.
Janie - I am so jealous of all your Campbell cuddles! We are heading to Melbourne on Fri and Sat if you are free at all? I would love to catch up with you and Kelly if you guys are free, although I know it mightn't be the best time for Kelly! It will probably be our last trip to Melbourne before the move :(
Lisa - how are you going? Would love to catch up with you if you are free at all on Fri or Sat too!
Hi to everyone else - sorry for no more persies, I have a hundred things to do before the kids wake up. Hope you are all well :)
Mako - I just went back and read you post. I am sorry your mum is being this way. Hugs and all the best too.
Bun - Sorry to hear you are stressed. Moving is awful but you'll be HOME soon. GL with the exercise too, I can't believe how hard it is to lose just a bit of weight grrr
Mako, massive hugs darl :hug:
Bun, I probably should keep Friday free, but Saturday could be okay? I'm happy to meet somewhere near Kelly is case she feels up to joining us for half an hour or so? How about you LISA???
Jayney, I luffs you too :hug: and I promise I gave Campbell a snuggle for you!
Michelle I'm sending you a massive amount of :hug: :hug: :hug: and wish they were IRL ones..Happy 5th Birthday to your gorgeous little Caitlyn. You sure have let us know you're close by today with the clouds and the rain that is falling today.
I'll be back later to catch up with you all.
Happy Heavenly Birthday to Caitlyn. May she be having a fairy party with Daddy in the clouds & be eating strawberry cupcakes & leaping over rainbows.......................... I'm sure she has Mummy's wicked sense of humour & has Daddy in a fairy skirt & tiara!!!
