Jayne thankyou my kids went to school last Wednesday as the first day... I did miss them - but I must say the day goes so quickly... My kids finish at 2.30pm so it seems I have only got home & done a few things and it's time to go and get them again!
Janie: I've been thinking of you all day - hoping that your CTG is good...
Michelle: I've been counting sleeps for you too. 4 to go now my love! If you need me or want me I am yours! x
Janie - All the very best with your CTG today hun I can only imagine how you must feel, but I hope that your little bub stays put for quite a few more weeks. Take care of yourselves.
Michelle - Thinking of you on Friday too
Sequoia - Congratulations on your pg! I know how reluctant I was to tell people and I wasn't having amnio worries either Wishing you a H&H 6 months or so.
Bonham - I had different symptoms with all 3 pregnancies, try not to compare or you will drive yourself nuts! Coming from the person who compared the whole time LOL GL for your scan on Wed.
mako - GL with your ob appts, hope you get some answers
Hi and everyone else. Hope you are all well today!
My big girl started kindy today *sniff* I can't quite believe it TBH, where have the last 5 and a half years gone?? I must admit I did get a little emotional though LOL but held myself together, I think if she had've seen me upset then she would have been not a happy little girl! But had better dash now, I have to pick her up soon and wake up DD2 to do it They are having short days until the 19th which I think is great
Thanks everyone for the support & kind words they mean alot i'm trying to relax and but also keep myself busy with housework so that i have less time to think. I need to remember every pregnancy is different.
I said to DD this morning 'wheres the bubba?' and she proceeded to pull my singlet up and say 'bubba tick tick tick (tickle tickle tickle)' and then laughed and pulled my singlet down.
Lisa: hope you can get some rest before going out to the birthday party tonight. I dont think i have you on Facebook, i'll send you a PM.
Mako: all the best for Friday you'll be in my thoughts
Naww so cute little kiddies having their 1st days of school and them with their waves over the shoulder or asking when your leaving. All the kids are growing up too quickly to the mummies.
AFM: I've just cleaned the loungeroom up from Cyclone Sophie she's having a nap atm and will no doubt make a mess again when she wakes up but for now it's clean. I'm having a rest and will then clean up the kitchen. I already feel "big" and finding it hard to sleep but when i take a photo of my belly side on it doesnt look anywhere as big as i feel i do our own perception is a lovely thing isnt it.
Janie: I hope the CTG was reassuring today hun. I know only too well how darn nerve wracking it can be to see those numbers going up and down. Here for you babe.
Bonham: I think it is only natural to compare pregnancies hun. DD sounds just gorgeous.
Megsmum: it must be so hard to see them growing up and starting KIndy but you must also feel very proud.
Mako: How adorable to see DS enjoying the movie so much. I sometimes get teary over little things like that. Sometimes I pinch myself because I can't believe I have sons now.
Kelly: I too was obsessed, it is normal to want to try to 'catch up' for lost time. I hope and pray you are surpised with a BFP super quick.
Freya: What date do you start Uni hun? I know it's feb but I wasn't sure when.
Jayne: Oh hun for you too. You sound like you've raised a very confident young lady and you should be very proud of that.
Rach: Sounds like another confident young lad. I saw the pics on FB, how cute is he.
Lisa: DD is gorgeous. BTW I love love love the Bride's dress.
Michelle: Sleep counting here with you hun. 4 to go. I hope you're doing ok.
Freya: Glad the school days are going quickly. Before you know it it will be the w'end and your sweet kids will be home.
Bek: How are you travelling hun. Any luck with the sleep issues? I really do sympathsise, I was in the same boat with O.
Well we are going well. For some reason I'm super engorged today. It's crazy, perhaps B is having a growth spurt. Oh and the Dr's think O has impetigo. I'm not so sure (it looks more like an infected mossie bite) but we are being cautious and keeping him home until whatever it is heals and the AB cream kicks in. Back to the Dr tomorrow for a check. I know it isn't good if infants get it so B has been held hostage in my HAB pretty much the entire time O is awake. He is loving it TBH. It's hard for O to understand he can't touch or kiss B but it will hopefully only be a few more days. I've been using alcohol gel on my hands every 3 seconds (lol) It just feels icky knowing he may have it, I don't know where he caught it, but I can't wait for it to go. In the meantime I'm analysing any bump B gets. Dr said if B does get it then if it is treated with AB quickly he'll be fine.
Oh and we had our first TT accident today. O didn't make it and did a wee on the couch.
SPRING _ O is doing fantastically with the TT so one accident so far is brilliant. I have no idea what Impetigo is??? Whatever it is, I hope he hasn't shared with B, but lucky you got onto it in time.
Spring: it is natural to compare but i need to stop and just concentrate on the things i can control. DD does some cute things.
Kelly: let us know if you hear anything, i've been thinking of Janie all day
If anyone wants to add me on Facebook just search Joanne Bonham my profile picture is a photo of my Dad & I when i was around 9months old OR PM me if you cant find me
Hi guys. sorry it has been so long since I have posted. As you can imagine, things have been a little hectic around here trying to get used to a toddler and a newborn, plus we have had both the ILs and my sister staying, so 7 people in the house! The ILs have now left, and my sis leaves tomorrow. I am not sure how I will cope when my sis leaves, she has been the biggest help and I am a little terrified about how I will cope when she leaves! My parents are staying for a few days from Thurs so at least I will have them to help out then. I am also still pretty sore from the birth and am not supposed to lift DD, although that has been impossible!
I hope all those who had kids go to school today managed to send them off with minimal tears! I was thinking of you all today.
janie - I am so sorry you are going through this, I can only imagine how stressful it must be. I am praying your little one stays in there a little longer sweetie. I know you have had heaps of offers, but I would also be stoked to give you some breast milk if you need it, I have heaps and would love to do anything I can to help. If I was closer I would definitely offer to look after DS whenever I could too. Thinking of you sweetie.
mako - I am glad you had such a good time at the movies. That is so sweet that you got teary watching your little boy - you are such a wonderful mum and he is very lucky to have you. I am looking forward to hearing how your appointments go and I hope you get a good plan to go with next time around to bring a happy and healthy little baby into the world!
Spring - woohoo on the TT!! I guess some accidents are always going to happen. DD has started asking to go to the toilet but all she does is sit there! At least it is a start though. You sound like you are doing fantastically well with your gorgeous little boys. Sorry to hear about the impetigo, I hope it clears up soon.
bonham - big sweetie. The early stages are so stressful after a loss. Thinking of you
Lisa - I will have to go and check out the flower girl pics on FB!
kelly - I am so glad to hear you have such a wonderful OB. Sounds like you have a great plan for next time!
Bek - how is the sleep going now?
sequoia - congrats hun, that's fantastic news! I am so glad to hear that the results of your amnio were all ok, you must feel so relieved.
Hi everyone else. Sorry for no more persies. I will hopefully be online again on Wed when DD is at day care. I am also hoping to post my birth story then. I am having a few issues about the birth. Hoping that typing up my story may help come to terms with it.
Janie: just checking in on you babe. Hope your monitoring went well. By the sounds of it you got EBM offers everywhere but if you need anymore just let me know and I'll start stockpiling.
Bun: how cute is the pic of J in your ticker.I've been meaning to do my Birth story. Sounds like you need to debrief babe. When you're ready I'm all ears.
Jayne: I guess I should expect accidents but he was going so well I had a false sense of security ( lol)
Freya: I know you've got heaps on your mind about uni but I have every faith in you.
Well I'm almost sure it isn't impetigo. Looks nothing like the pictures online. Looks exactly like C pox to me. Just have to wait to see the dr.
Kelly got a message from her not too long ago. All ok today. Hopefully she will let us know the details herself but she is fine - and it saved me finding my phone to send a message too
Quietly going mad here. 4 more sleeps ...............
Mature???? Calm????? Not words in my vocabulary I don't think she realises there is a bunch of mother hens clucking over her and she is making us wait - and cluck more!!!! We do a good impersonation of mature and calm for a while though
Actually Deb - a little bit of reading (someone sent me a very valuable gift ) and a bit of meditating and a little time communing with nature have helped. Just letting it fall out of my hands. I have no control over this. What will be, will be. We will deal with the results when they arrive.
Having said that I am far more grumpy than usual and I don't tolerate fools well (DH would say this isn't a new thing ) but I am trying to let the negative thoughts move out and keeping the hope and prayers with me. We went for a walk as a family tonight after the little people had dinner and it was just lovely. To view the world through the eyes of a toddler is a very precious gift indeed.

Hello lovelies, i'm sorry, last night was very hectic. We were late home because we ended up seeing max as well. And then i had issues getting online, page wouldn't load etc. All okay though, as michelle/kelly said . Will update properly when i'm up for the day!
Janie So pleased all is ok. I was secretly stalking without posting
Michelle It must have been the night for family walks last night as DH,myself,Sage and our dog all went walking too. Was very nice and we said we're going to do it again tomorrow night as tonight DH plays basketball and I'm not taking 2 legged boy and 4 legged boy on my own lol. I must admit I felt so much better after we came back.
AFU Sage has been doing wee's on his potty for the last week. He's doing really well but am not pushing the issue. Just leaving his nappy off after breakfast and letting him do his thing lol. He often goes by himself and he empties his potty into the toilet and sits down and does another wee lol. I was a bit worried cos he'd ask to go out the back to wee (been watching the dog ) and would refuse to go on the potty until last Tuesday afternoon. But now he's happy to go and he thinks he's soooo clever and runs upto me for a "high 5" We haven't tried with #2's yet though.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday and all the kiddeis have a great 2nd day at big school.
If you need me or want me I am yours! x
I can only imagine how you must feel, but I hope that your little bub stays put for quite a few more weeks. Take care of yourselves.
Wishing you a H&H 6 months or so.
LOL GL for your scan on Wed.
