Good Morning!!

Melissa - Thats great that you've avoided the nappy rash! Louis bottom is looking a lot better this morning so hopefully on the mend...It's still very red but at least he didn't scream this morning when I changed his bottom...

Have a great day!

Morning!
My little sis went into labour last night and is having bubs as we speak (well write LOL) so just a quick hello from me as I will be heading out there soon!!!

Kell - OMG that's really exciting! :hug: You'll have to fill us in when her bub is born...

Kristie - So glad that Louis is doing so much better in the nappy rash department. :)

Melissa

Wow Kell!! How exciting! I can't wait to hear how she went!

hello ladies
Feel like i have been MIA lately
Glad to see everyone is well.
Kell cant wait to see what your little sis has. Hope everyone is well.
Kristie Good to see the nappy rash is getting better.
How are all the pregnancies going?

Well nothing much to report, we now have 5 teeth so thats good. Still no crawling but thats ok. He can commando backwards to where he wants to go
I had a great time at school friends re union dinner.
Have a great day everyone. I will check in later

Hi Tracey!
Everything going well here other than a bit of nausea and being a bit tired.

Thats great you had a good time at your dinner! I'm sure it won't be long before Jordans crawling around!
I hope you're well!!!

Kell - hope everyting goes well for your sis - is it her first?

Isn't it funny how differently our babies develop? Some have loads of teeth and others none; some are nearly walking, others just starting to crawl; and some have heaps of words, others not many at all. Their little personalities are rapidly taking shape! Dylan will be a climber, but a man of few words!!

i think chantelle wil be a little girl that never stops talking.she babbles all day long.
kristie.well done on your scan,glad all is well,we are 12 weeks apart.
nikki

Benjamin is finding his feet very well. He's constantly standing up on his own now, picking up toys to give to us. Our friend had him walking by holding her hand and when she'd get him to let go of her hand he'd take a step forward then sit down. He thought it was good fun though. He's going to be a chatter box too. Not long to go and they'll all be 1...

Melissa

Hi there
My little sis had a baby girl, very quickly too about 4 hours labour. Her name is Caitlin May and she is 6"13' and 50cm long with lots of black hair (runs in the family hard to escape :D). mum and bubs doing well, it is her first dee.

congatulations auntie kell.
nikki

Hi!

Louis took 3 steps tonight!!! I couldn't believe it! I bribed him with his dummy and he just walked towards me. Cheeky bugger - hehe.

Donella - I know! It's so amazing. I think Louis will be a chatterbox who's going to love being outdoors - with a grumpy impatient streak - hehe...

Nikki - Wow - how are you feeling now? That belly of yours must be growing! I love baby talk. It's so cute when they sit there having a little conversation with themselves!

Melissa - Benjamin sounds like's he'll be walking soon too! I know - I bought his bananas in pyjamas party invites the other day so I better write them out soon!

Kell - Congrats for your sister! How exciting - gees 4 hours isn't bad for a first time! You must be excited to have another little bubba in your arms (especially one that you can hand back - hehe)

Congrats Auntie Kell! :confetti: You must be so proud to have a new little baby Niece?

Melissa

Morning!
Yep it is pretty nice to hold a tiny bubba and then hand her back when she crys, smells or is generally unsettled LOL. Will is a little babbler too, i guess that energy has to go somewhere since he's still not crawling LOL. Both Molly and Will cam into bed with me this morning while Dh was getting ready for work and Molly was jumping while Will was rolling around, DH came in and was talking to me when i saw Molly sit down heavily right on Will's head :eek: he screamed then she screamed - but thankfully he seems fine :o

Kristie - WOW on the steps, how exciting for you!!

Kirsty - good to see you back again :)

Melissa - I know 1 is not far away, how fast has that gone? Sounds like Benjamin will be chasing after you soon...

Tracey - Will is the same, commando backwards tho yesterday he went forwards and then looked a bit shocked so he should get the hang of that soon :)

Dee - I know it is funny how differently they all develop, and in which order they learn things - each bubs is so individual.

Hope you all have a great day!

Kristie - We had Benjamin take a few steps too last night, we bribed him with the remote control . He still thinks crawling is faster though at the moment. Just wait til they get the hang of it :eek:

Kell - You're not getting clucky again are you? You'll turn around one day and Will will be chasing you too.

Melissa

Wow there's so much to catch up on. Tis hard to know where to start! he ha! But I MUST say a huge congratulations to Cindy and Kristie on your pregnancies. It must be SOOO exciting for you and your DH's.

Gus now has 8 teeth, weighs 5.85kg and is 67cm long! he ha! It looks sort of odd to see a baby so small with so many teeth. He isn't crawling, but has finally mastered sitting which is a HUGE relief! Gus babbles constantly from the moment he's awake until he drops off to sleep. Tis very cute. It's actually nice having him able to communicate a bit better. His only "proper" words though are mum, dad, nan, buba, no and broom broom (for car). But he still manages to get his message across very clearly most of the time even without many words. We're all settled into our new house now. It's not far from the old one (about 10 mins) but in a much quieter and prettier street. We were in Neutral Bay on a busy road and now we're in Cammeray in a really pretty tree filled area. We're loving being woken by the sound of birds in the morning rather than traffic, sirens etc as we had grown used to in our old house.

I'm not back at work yet so lucky to be enjoying time with Gus. We're still very busy with specialist appointments. The main concern currently is with his poor growth and we're now being referred to a geneticist and an endocrinologist to see whether he has some sort of "syndrome" or hormonal problem that might explain why he is growing so slowly and is sooooo far below the 3rd percentile. Our paed thinks it's just an intake problem (ie he just doesn't want to eat very much) but is being cautious and that's why he's referring us for more tests. So that will bring the people monitoring Gus up to the grand total of 15! Crazy huh!

Not sure whether anyone remembers, we were advised to have a close gap between Gus and baby number 2 so that the 2nd born could push Gus ahead developmentally if it turns out that his early brain haemmorages have resulted in permanent damage. We haven't been able to stomach the thought of another pregnancy given my high risk (estimated at 70% likely) of a repeat performance (high risk pregnancy ending at best with a preterm delivery etc). But now I look at little Gussy and worry that maybe we've made a mistake in postponing things. Hmmm have been feeling torn between concerns that we've been selfish and thinking it's better to look after the one that's with us (ie Gus) than to think about expanding the family just now. Agghhh tis so confusing. I bet if I was having a difficult pregnancy it would be a nightmare with all Gus's specialist and allied health appointments. Sorry to unload, I'm having a bit of an emotional time (re him) lately.

On a different note, I decided I needed something to look forward to so a few weeks ago booked a holiday with a couple of my closest girlfriends. We're heading to Melbourne the week after next for five days. We all live in different cities (Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne) so don't get to see each other as much as we'd like. My girlfriends both have baby boys (one 6mths and the other 2mths) so it will be great to finally get to meet the bubbas and very fun watching them play together. We're staying in a serviced apartment in the city so I expect there'll be some city shopping time to. I can't wait. Our poor DH's have to stay home working. he ha!

Anyhow enough rambling. Hope the bubbas with the yucky nappy rashes heal soon. xx

Hi!

Oh Kirsty what a difficult place for you to be in! No wonder you're emotional - you have every right to be...I have no pearls of wisdom but I'm thinking of you.
You're holiday sounds great!! Let us know if you think you may have time to catch up as I'm sure we could meet you in Melbourne one day at the park of something. I'm sure Nikki, Cindy and Tracey would love it!

Kell - I hope Wills head is ok! Whoops! I'm sure I'll have lots of mishaps like that when no.2 arrives! Louis is such a little roughnut!

Melissa - Yeah on Benjamin taking steps also!!

Not much to report - Louis is doing well - his bottom seems to be clearing up but still no sign of teeth so now I'm wondering whether its been a bit of diarrhoea or something??
Sweet dreams!

Sorry I have been a bit slack lately, its hell to get to use the computer here at mums with all my brothers on it all the time.

All is going well though, tori is surviving my working, I'm not though, I'm buggered and have been coming home and having a sleep every day. Its good to have some big people conversation though with no bub around.
I'm going alright on the pregnancy side of life - still no scan done but from the blood tests I am due anywhere from the 14th to the 28th of April. KRistie - we may end up with bubbas born on the same day again!!!
I swear my belly is already growing. I am really keen to stop feeding tori at the moment but scared to do it coz she isnt putting on weight still. The issue is that when I am feeding I am having really bad contractions in my uterus, just like I did when she was first born. I hate it and it makes me feel sick so I keep cutting her feeds down to shorter time. We are down to 4 feeds now though, she has cut one of her night feeds out now she has a better hang of the eating thing.
Nikki how are you going?
Tracey - Hows things?
Kristie - Are you getting a belly yet? Maybe I am cozI am eating so bloody much!
Best be going, I have a smelly 2 years olds nappy to deal with! I cant believe thursdays are my day off and I have a 2 year old to look after on it! I love my lukey boy though

Hi Cindy!

Wow what a time to be so busy! I don't blame you for having a sleep every arvo. I nearly fell asleep yesterday afternoon while Louis was watching New mcdonalds farm - hehe.
How funny would it be if we did have the next ones together - hehe.
Good luck with the feeding - Louis is only having a morning and a night feed now although he's really fussing at the night feed so I think we'll be down to 1 soon. You've done so well to get this far and if you're feeling unwell b/f maybe it's time to consider stopping? I think Louis will pretty much self wean the way we're going but otherwise I'll cut out his last feed after his birthday. My goal was always 12m so.....

No belly for me yet! It took me ages to show last time so I assume it will be the same again - I have a retroverted uterus so it takes a while to pop out. I've got a fat belly though - hehehe. I've put on a kg of lard already which is not good. I'm starting this p/g off 2kg heavier than I did with Louis so god help me at the end of it!! hehe. I can't stop eating though.....hehe.

OMG. I just got an email from one of my wedding clients. The first baby of any of my wedding couples was due soon.....she just emailed me to tell me the baby passed away on delivery. I can't believe it. This is so awful. How could that happen. I just don't know what to do...

Linda - I am so sorry for your friends loss. I also had a friend who lost their bubs 2 days before their due date. It was awful. They now have a beautiful baby girl who is 6 months old. I hope that they get thru this awful time.
Kristie - Good to see you are doing well. I wouldnt worry about your weight, you have an excuse now and I am sure you will loose it when you are running after Louis soon enough. WOW on him taking a couple of steps.
Cindy - Good to see you are doing well, bummer about getting so tired from work though. Its good you can have a nap though when you need one. If you need to stop BF'ing I am sure Tori will do fine on formula. Maybe you could start her on the toddler milk, they arent to far away from 12 months now???
Kirstie - Hope you have a nice holiday and I am sure Gus will love playing with your friends children.
Kell - WOW on the crawling forwards, he might work it out soon. OOPS about Molly sitting on his head. LOL.
Melissa - WOW steps for Benjamin aswell, he is a clever little man. We might have some walkers by their 1st birthdays at this rate.
Nikki - Hope you are well. What have you been up to? How is Chantelles swimming going?
Donella - How is Dylan? Hope you are well

Well, today was our 1st swiming lesson and it was great. They sang nursery rhymes and did all movements to them. It looks as though its the same thing everyweek so the kids know what to do. Jordan LOVED it so I cant wait for next week. He was so knackered when we left he slept for 1 1/2 hrs.
He is 10 months today!!!! the youngest of the October babies. I cant beleive in 8 weeks he will be 1:eek: Gee I better get working on #2

Tracey - I'm so happy Jordan enjoyed his swimming lesson. I haven't even organised for Benjamin to learn to swim yet, as I said last time, it's still on my to do list. If it's your turn to get cracking on having a 2nd bub, it must be my turn as well, LOL.

Linda - That's really sad to hear :hug:

Cindy - Sorry to hear that bub in tum is causing you to be so ill :hug:

We had Benjamin weighed and measured today - Head circ 46.4cm, Height 78cm and Weight 11.10kg. He's in the 90th percentile for most things, which is really good.

Melissa

Linda, sorry for your friends loss. I can't believe how many people still lose babies at full term. I guess it's a tiny number compared to 50 years ago, but every one is one too many.:angel:

Tracey - glad Jordan loved his swimming. We have Dylan enrolled for Kindergym next term as well as his Kindermusik, so unfortunately we can't fit swimming into the week as well. As soon as it's a bit warmer though we'll take Dylan to the beach.

Kell - don't feel bad about Will having his head sat on... Dylan has pulled our heavy fire screen down on his head twice now!

Melissa - looks like we both have big boys... Dylan is 80.5 cm and weighs 11.6kg.

I haven't been paying much attention to my weight (don't know if you remember but I lost heaps when Dylan was born and weighed less than I had in 6 years!) but now I'm going to be a bridesmaid I thought I'd better hop on the scales, and damn, I'm back to my pre-preg weight.:angry: My tummy is all flabby again so i'm going to have to start doing some serious walking and lay off the chocolate!

As for Dylan, he's being very vocal the past few days, experimenting with lots of new "words" and today he stood on his own for a few seconds. He's getting more stable and coinfident standing, so he may start walking before his birthday.

Looking forward to tomorrow - my mums group is having a picnic at the beach as it's going to be 26 again (2 days in a row of warm sun... YAY!) We had the first of our 7 1st birthday parties last weekend (Dylan is the youngest in the group so they are spaced over 2 months).

Do you like Dylan's new pic? His hair goes SOOO curly when it's wet although it's completely straight when dry...

Hi!

Not much to report...When I dropped Louis off at childcare today they gave me this father day card they'd worked on. It was a sheet with his photo on it and his hand prints and they'd laminated it! it's so fantastic! I thought it was really thoughtful that they gave it to me then as well as dh picks him up.

Linda - Thats so horrible. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to go through...I suppose all you can do is offer her support and well wishes. I imagine it would take some time to get over losing a bubba like that (well any way really)

Tracey - the swimming lessons sound great. I think I'm going to book Louis in next term. He's doing gymbaroo now but I don't think he'll get much more out of that now until he's walking iykwim?

Melissa - Wow, Benjamin is a big boy!! It can be hard to get organised sometimes with all the activities that are available.

Donella - Dylan looks gorgeous! Your picnic at the beach tomorrow sounds great! We've had nice days here too - I think we'll head to the park tomorrow. Good Luck with the weight loss - it certainly creeps up without us noticing!

Sweet Dreams!

Looks like a nice day here too, low 20's lots of sun my favourite :D I went shopping yesterday and bought DH a new rocker recliner for fathers day, i hope he likes it! bonus points for me too, as i didnt get anything for mothers day LOL. Sis and bubs are doing great, after some initial feeding issues (some of the midwives in the hospital here are not very helpful, i found i had the same probs when i had Molly) but they are doing well now and should be going home today or tomorrow!
Will has started commando crawling forward really well now, just in the last few days he got the hang of going forward and now goes well.

dee - the picnic sounds lovely, mmm! Wow on the walking by his bday, we'll be lucky if Will walks by his 2nd LOL Molly was a late walker too though :)

Melissa - Benjamin is a big boy too, Will's winter clothes are getting too small but it is so close to the end now i dont want to have to buy bigger sizes :)

Linda - thats sad to hear, *hugs*

Cindy - i hope you feel better soon.

Kirsty - I certainly dont envy you your decision, i can understand you wanting to focus all your energy on Gus and you shouldnt feel selfish for that. Having a 2nd baby is a demanding enough task without the added pressures of all Gussy's appointments treatments etc. Have a nice trip away!

Kirsty - I think Kell's right... imagine how much more tired and stressed you would be with another baby, especially if (god forbid) you did have another premmie. If you don't feel ready then you're not ready - and I don't think that's being selfish at all. As for another baby helping Gussy's development, do you take him to a playgroup or mums group? I find with Dylan that just having him watch all the other babes crawling and standing inspires his development. In fact, the first time he crawled properly was 2 hours after we had a playgroup at my house where all the other babies were able to "climb" up the step to our dining room and he was left behind...

Kirsty - I missed your post earlier. Your holiday sounds like a grwat idea - you still have so much going on! I hope Gus's slow growth is only an intake problem & nothing more. I agree - very tough call as to TTC #2. Why are you high risk again?

Sorry I'm so scarce ATM. JUst really busy with work...

All's well with Miss Em :)

Hi!

We had a beautiful day today. Went to the park this morning and we had a great time. Completely tired Louis out! The we sat outside at home this afternoon so Louis had heaps of fresh air today.
He's just started doing this funny thing were he tries to make us laugh. I don't know where he got it from but it works. Dh and I crack up. He just does this funny fake laugh and pulls a funny face. Just so gorgeous.

Kell - Thats great that your sisters going well! Woohoo on Wills commando crawling!!

Hi to everyone else! I hope you've got great weekends planned and enjoy Sunday with your family!

First REAL Father's Day tomorrow girls, what have you all got planned?

Nothing planned here yet, but we might just make it a spur of the moment thing, just so Dh gets a nice surprise out of tomorrow.

Melissa

For fathers day I bought dh a t-shirt (West Coast Choppers) and I'll make him bacon and eggs for brekky. Then we're off to another 1st b'day party at lunch and he has a night-shift.

I love spring!! The weather here is just gorgeous at the moment. Hope it's as nice where all of you are.

Hi!

Cooked breakky in bed for dh (well it will probably be lunch so he can have a sleep in - hehe) Otherwise just spending the day together.
I haven't got him a present from Louis other than the card we got from childcare as moneys a bit tight - dh is happy though as it the more careful we are now the sooner we can move up the country!

Oh just going to add. Louis is sick again after being at childcare on Thursday. I can't wait for him to not have to go. He gets sick every time.
We had a rotten nights sleep with his blocked nose. I think I got about 3 1/2-4h sleep. Grrr. We're off to a 60thj dinner/party tonight so god knows how long I'll last. Luckily dh is happy to go earliesh as he knows I'll be wrecked.

Have a good one!

my dh has been spoilt rotten as usual.we got him a weight set,also a nice brand spacken new deluxe bbq.the boys got him a car wash set and scewdriver set from bunnings,spoilt bugger,we will be tacking his dad out tomorrow so that will also be his outing aswell.
corey lost his first 2 teeth this morning and was so bloody excited and petrified at the same time,was very funny to see his reaction,he cant wait for the tooth fairy to come tonight.
poor chantelle is having a rough time with her 2nd tooth coming through,nast temp and feels miserable.
hooray,we finally bought land today.half acre in a beautiful court,all of the neighbours came out to introduce themselves.and i mean all of them including there 14 kids,ranging from 8 weeks old up to 16 years old.they were so nice and welcoming and freindly and have already invited us to there street xmas bbq at xmas time.every one of our new neighbours were so down to earth and took alot of pride in there hoes and seem to all get along so well.we are so happy with our purchase,now all the fun stuff starts with picking a house plan etc.
nikki

Hi!

Nikki - Congrats on the land! Sounds like it will be a great place to live! Wow on your dh getting so spoilt! Sorry to hear Chantelles having a rough time of it.

We went out last night and I'm so tired today. I would have got home about an hour earlier except we had to take bil home and he was stuffing around and kept buying drinks. I was so annoyed I told him I'm not driving him anywhere ever again. Alright for him he doesn't even live with his kids so doesn't have to get up early or anything. Also I knew Louis was unwell so just wanted to get home and try and get some sleep.
Louis has got a really bad croupy cough so I've booked in for the dr this afternoon.

Dh is still asleep so I've got to head off and get him some bacon and eggs for brekky! Then we'll have the IL's over for lunch. We were going to go out but I think with Louis being unwell we'll just chill out at home.

Enjoy your day!!

Well I now feel really sick after bacon - that always happens to me - I love the smell so have to have some then feel really sick.

We did a web-cam call to my dad in Melbourne this morning so Dylan could wave to Grandpa for Fathers Day. Dylan was very confused how Grandpa was in the computer and talking to him, but he clapped his hands.

Well we're off to a party now... have a good Sunday everyone.

Nothing much happening here, had a really nice day out for lunch with some friends and a hell of alot of kids but it was fantastic and the kids all had a ball, tori was the youngest but I'm pretty relaxed on kids playing with her and her getting dirty etc so she had a ball crawling around on the ground under the trees and eating sticks and all that good stuff!
Fathers day is a bit of a non event today, DP has stayed in bed all day so far and I think I have managed to get him out so we can go for a swim at the local pools. Tori loves the water.

Kristie - I cant believe louis is walking already! thats fantastic
Nikki - congrats on the land purchase , sounds like you were lucky with your new neighbours too, thats great!
Tracey - Hows jordan going with his comando crawling?

Sorry to cut this short - we should organise a get together again soon! I am only free on Thursdays now though, does that work with your work tracey?
Tori has woken and doesnt sound very happy , she is rather clingy to her mum today!

Speak soon

Happy fathers day to all the dads!
Jamie got spoilt today Jordan (I) got him a play station 2 and a game. he has also been down the local video store to borrow a game. He has been on it all day, what have I done??? LOL
Jordan is still commando crawling, no real crawling, we have our 6th tooth though which is exciting.

Good to see everyone is well.

Cindy, Kristie and Nikki I am free to catch up thursdays in the afternoon. We have swimming from 10.30 -11.00 and then Jordan has a sleep till lunch. Let me know what time you would like to meet up and I will try and get there.

Sorry its short but cleaning up from fathers day lunch and then off to bed for me.

Night all, hope its a good (non interupted) sleep.
