me first YAY!!

adele, just saw your post. I hope Riley gets better soon, it's great that he's kept the temp down for a few hours. I hope you're not too drained and get plenty of rest tonight.
We just came back from the hospital. Nina woke up with one of those screaming fits I was telling you guys about and couldn't breath properly as her nose was blocked and she wouldn't settle and started going blue around the mouth/nose. By the time we arrived at the hospital she's cleared up and was all giggly and talking to me, the little buggar! The paeditrician checked her out and she had good oxygen and her chest was clear so we were given the all clear to come home. We've got to keep an eye on her and if it persists or gets worse than we'll go back. Fingers crossed she doesn't have a bad night tonight.

Wow Jodi - that sounds a bit scary with Nina. Cheeky little bugger she is tho.

Adele - I hope your two get better soon, you don't seem to be having much luck health-wise with them as of late.

Maz - Have you got that nappy cover yet? Postage is probably a bit slow this time of year, but I hope you get it before Xmas.

Sorry, no other personals tonight, I've had a glass of wine now my little man has gone to bed - and just too giggly to type anymore. LOL.

Wont be online much this weekend, as taking a trip whoop whoop (Bunbury) to pick up my new car, then got pre-Xmas dinner with a friend... and brekkie do Sunday morning. Arggghhhh too hectic.

xxx

Hey, I just noticed that I too am now a 'teenrager' !!

OMG!!! GUESS WHO IS FOUR MONTHS OLD ALREADY?

Sh*t time is going way too fast.

YAY anna, I'm a teenrager too. I was hoping for a glass on wine tonight too, but it didn't happen. Have a good weekend.

ETA: happy 4 months Xander ... that means Nina is in 5 days!!!!!

That happens every night over here as well *sigh* I rarely get to sleep before midnight, despite Xander going down by 8.30pm.

Hi guys.

Adele-Poor thing I hope Riley gets better soon.

Jodi-I hope that Nina gets better aswell and you all sleep well tonight.

For those BF and comp feeding. Is there any sign of Af for you guys yet. I am thinking mine might not be far away and was just wondering if this is normal or am I just unlucky.

Sleep well ladies.

Love

helen, I got AF back 3 weeks after having Nina and have had it every month :frown: My first one was awful, very heavy and painful, but it seems to have gone back to normal now (sorry for TMI)

well fingers crossed jack is down, washing up is done, just waiting for bottles in micro then this little duck is off to bed, and god help me if jase trys and makes a move when I go to bed LOL, I will scream

Anna - Yeah hon, I got the cover (I thought I mentioned it way back) and your a naughty girl for putting that $10 back in there! 3 firm smacks lady and not at hungry jacks either. Thanks you for that mate.
Adele - holly cr@pola woman. Its doesnt rain for you but it pours. When is your bad luck gonna stop?! Thank god Simon is there. Big hugs mate.
Little P - I stop and chat to new mums all the time so I can so totally relate to you. I see a new born and I dive on the poor mum. They must freak our from me. :lol:
Helen - My periods still arent right and im on the pill. Ah knowing my luck I'd be up the duff again..ops cant be cause I haven't let Jed near me in the last month (bugger for him).
Forgot to mention but I got my hair cut last night into big layers and died it blonde on top and dark brown underneith (probably did mention it and no-one noticed:frown: it ok, its only me lol)
Ive gotta wrap some pressies for tomorrow for my brother whos to slack to do it.
Have a good night, I hope to hell I do, alone with the kids
xxmaz

RAch - PMSL at you hon....Ive got the bed for myself to night...I might get scared NOT!

Ohh Jodi isn't that scary when they can't breathe properly.
And Adele, hope you and Riley (and Simon and Akira) get a great night's rest tonight, and stay healthy.

I'm another clucky one, got a pregnant friend who's getting her bump and ohhhh man I just have to not look at it cos it really makes me want another! :P

Ohhh man I can hear River whinging again...he's really unsettled tonight...perhaps he has wind. Later girls xo

Morn all,
Can't believe some of you are clucky already, don't think I want another for awhile, I'm still getting up twice a night at least!

Adele- How is Riley, still keeping his temp down?

Jodi- How scary for you, these babes of ours love to keep us on our toes!

Rach75- Tell that husband of yours to get off his butt! If you cook he should wash up.

Hello to everyone else, feeling bit slack at moment.

helen, i havent got my periods back yet either, i stopped BF last week when i had to go to hospital, but i was bottle and breast feeding, so im not sure when the witch will rear its ugly head, but now im TTC, i hope its soon so i can work out when im ovulating, so i can try for a BOY!:confused:

Maz,put a piccy up of your new haircut! I cut a fringe on my hair last week!
Girls,we are not slaves to our husbands/partners.I would not be up at midnite doing dishes.You cook the meal,they help eat it.My hubby helps everynite with dishes,thats one thing i cant c/o about and when he has spare 5 min does his washing.This will happen for the rest of your life if you dont nip it in the bud.Id tell my husband where to stick it when he annoys me.
Ruby slept in her room for the 1st time onher own.Went to sleep at 630pm and woke at 4am.Had a feed and after talking to herself for 15min went back to sleep until 615am.
She is sucking her hands so much,even trying to get at mine.Dribble guts but i see no teeth or inflammation.
Any way better get dressed for the day.

I am off to the RACES today.. So i have done the fake tan, brushed my hair for once and Alexander is having formula at Nannas!

If only i had a date! Hubby is still away.. maybe ill pick up!

***** Alexander Ryan is 3 months old today!!!! ****

hope you pick up littlep.........LOL

God all these bubs are getting to there 3 months too quick! Ash will be 3 months on Monday.
The races sounds like fun Little.P. enjoy yourself, have a perve while hubby's not around.

Caddie- Ruby did well sleeping for the first time on her own. I know what you mean bout the hand sucking, sometimes while I'm BFing I notice she's not sucking properly and when I look she's shove her thumb in there as well!

Does anyone know when Af usually returns if your exclusively BFing? I suppose everyone would be different, hopefully it won't be til a few months when she starts solids or something.

Shell my SIL has exclusively fed all of her children (currently no.5) and with the last 2 she didnt really get any period until they were about 1yr old and then def fell preg before her next period. She would always say that the period before falling preg was always light. She started solids at around 6 mths. Goodluck hun.

Love

Hm Dh is in a good mood today and is willing to discuss TTC............its date night tonight seeing as my sister is here to babysit so I might ask him to talk with me about it then.
Just chillin out today. Bub is having a nap (even after getting 9 hours sleep last night).
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Morning All...

:dance: Happy 4 Months Xander!!!

:confetti: Happy 3 Months Alexander - L*P I hope you have a fraet time out at the races!!! GL Picking up... LOL

Adele - Oh No... I hope Riley is feeling much better this morning...

Jodi - Always the way huh!!! They are always better by the time you get to the Dr!!! KiAra did that when I was pg... I hadn't felt her move for ages, put the HCG machine on and wella kicks galore! Glad Nina is ok!

Rach - You poor thing... Steven sometimes does that, but if I am tired, i make him help before he goes to bed... he usually doen't complain... LOL at not trying a move... are all men the same or what... Steven was soooo asleep on the couch last night and took himself off to bed, then when I hopped in... whatta ya know, a burst of energy!!! LOL

Have a great weekend all...

I can't beleiev your all talking about TTC or even TTC already!!!

Admittedly I have thought about another baby, but we wont TTC for atleast another 6-12 months...

Question: What age gap do you think is better/easier... a big one as in 3 years + or a small on under 3 years?

i like a small gap, thats why im alreadY TTC, and im an old ***** now as well, but everyone is different, so its a personal choice.
i had 3 babies 3 years running, so they were very close, and i loved it, very hard work, but now they are older they get on so well.

chrissy you crack me up woman. I so want another baby boy its not funny. bring on next year.
putting a new pic of the hair do up on site. I haven't brushed it properly but it looks laright. I'll show you mine caddie if you show me yours. lol
Hello to everyone. sorry that im a slacker. Ive got to get the 3 kids ready to go out for tea for my mums birthday and its a bit harder with Jed not being home. No , its probably easier cause there's no yelling and fighting going on.
BBL tonight chickens

I could kill Jed. He rings us up from the bucks night, pi$$ed (surprise surprise) and i ask him generally when he thinks he'll be home. oh about 5-6pm tomorrow. I told him that wasnt good enough cause the boys want to spend some time with him aswell this weekend and that maybe he could leave at lunch time. He then tells me not to make him feel guilty for having a good time. WTF?!:angry: He always plays the poor guy done wrong when he's around his family!!AHHHHHH. Yet if I go out for a morning, he gets Nikolaus to ring me to find out when im home 'cause Ive been gone for so long' He is totally F44Ked when he gets home tomorrow. He's gone for 2 nights and left yesterday at 2 in the after noon. Who's place can I come to for 2 nights so I can pay the b@st@rd back? I couldn't do it to the kids either cause Jed gets frustrated (cause he's DUMB) and starts yelling like a di*k and makes the kids upset. He's lucky he's not home right now, I could just punch the pric$K! I sent him a text telling him not to bring his attitude home with him and we'll talk when he get home. His eldest brother left his wife and new born baby in Newcastle for this bucks night. So its a family trait. He's expecting us to call him at bed time tonight. Opsie IM going to forget. Ahhh FUUUUUUcurry!

Aww Maz huge hugs to you. I had the you never let me have fun argument the other night aswell. It ****es me off so much because I feel like I can never have an opinionm when he is around his brother as I am being the anoying wife.
Ugh enough about my vent, lets just put it this way I can totally understand where you are coming from and he is definantly living up to a DH status. I hope Vy and the boys give you a good nights rest tonight babe. Feet up and enjoy the big bed by yourslef.

Love

maz, you can come to my house for a few days............men are just pr$$ks at times, they have no fu&&in idea, i went to craigs xmas party, and he made a big song and dance about ITS A FAMILY PARTY, so after me waiting in the park next to the club where it was being held, 2 hours after his SO CALLED LAST BEER, i walked into the club to say goodbye, and guess what he was ordering anthere beer, i think he would of had around 5 in the time i was waiting in the park,THEN HE HAD THE ****S WITH ME FOR ABOUT TO LEAVE HIM AT THE PARTY, WITH NO WAY HOME:evil: :twisted: :mad: i just ignored him for the night, and as soon as he got home he was snoring in 5 minutes and it was 6pm..........so i woder who was the pi$$ed one? but the next morning he did not say a word, and to be honost i dont think he even remembered how he got home, considering at 1pm he told me IM SO PI$$ED!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey girls,

got a phone call this morning asking me if i could take riley back into the hospital for another checkup and blood works done. cause they have found something in his blood that is making him sick so today i was in there from 10.30 till 5pm ahhhh they gave his something to kill the germ off and we were aloud home fro the night but i have to go back in tomorrow for another check up so that doesnt bother me at all as along as he is getting better that what counts i think .

well im off he has woken up.

Later

Adele

Maz- I'm with you. My Df goes out getting ****ed every sat night, that part dosn't bother me too much what ****es me off is he'll crash at a mates place (I tell him not to come home ****ed cause he'll wake us all) And he doesn't roll home til 1pm the next day then he'll lie in bed all day and thats what ****s me, by that time I just want some time to myself to just even have a shower so I end up yelling at him and just dumping Ashleigh on him.
Sometimes I feel slight resentment about how easy Df life is, well i think its easy he may not agree. Just that his life hasn't changed all that much, he still has his freedom whereas I feel like i have lost all freedom. I get like 2hrs off between feeds if i wanna go out. i find it hard just to find time for a shower or food yet he finds time to go out drinking and partying. I shouldn't complain too much cause he does try hard and helps out around the house alot. I would like him to do more with Ash in regards to settling her for bed or more nappies pr bath etc,
God there I've gone now raving on. Ahh we all need to get stuff off our chests!

Adele- thats good they found whats wrong, at least now they can treat him and he'll feel much better.

Races was great.. didnt pick up but my boobs were almost dripping when i left. I had missed 2 feeds and they were about to explode!

Hope Riley gets better soon xoxoxo

BBL .. need to pack more boxes! It never ends

Hugs to you Maz

Adele-Poor little Riley. As shell said at least they know what they are dealing with now and they can work at getting your little man better.

Ugh what do you know, I cook a roast meal for the first time in ages. Leith is at work so I have put some on a plate for him. Eithan wakes just as everything is cooked and needs feeding. Bella chucks a I'm not eating anything whammy. So I feed Eithan and then get a reheated meal and Bella doesnt even eat it. Sometimes it really bothers me that I go to all this effort(not that roast is an effort but you know what I mean) and there is noone to enjoy it and I get it cold, again.

About all of our DH. I agree have your fun, but remember if you have a hangover that's tough luck buddy, you are a dad and have things you have to do too. But as usuall I get the I'm sorry hun I feel sick I cant do it. We had to stop on the way home the other night for a vomit on the side of the road. But admitedly he gets carsick and we had just come down a windey hill.

Lilp-LOL, if guys were looking they probably thought you had inflatable boobies. As I am sure they grew fuller as the day went on. I hope you enjoyed your day.

Enough from me, sleep well ladies.

Love

Maz - My place is open if you want!!! It seems that they're all the same... My Dh, got it big time last week... I was meant to go to my work xmas party, and he was looking after Kiara. He got the opportunity to go to a corporate luncheon at the MCG where a couple of cricket legends were guest speaking etc (my DH is a roof plumber... not a corporate!) the same day, So I said yep go it's free and not like you get the chance all the time, but PLEASE be home by 5 -6pm at the latest... 6pm rolls by, 6.30 rolls by and he texts me to say they are just leaving hilton now... WTF... So there goes my night and he wonders why I crack it when he goes out to Cricket training 2 nights a week for him, then helps with the juniors 1 night a week, AND wants to go out all the time on the weekends... He does ask if I want to go, but it's not always possible with a 12 week old baby!!!

He too puts on the dont make me feel guilty for having a good time... but I keep making him feel guilty.... especially now that Kiara is doing more!!!

Adele - Glad you found out what it was with Riley... glad he's getting better too..

OK... DH is on his way home from cricket... and we are going to the pub for dinner then to the carnival/fair thing that's on tonight with carols and fireworks!

see ya all later!

Hey all of us should go away and all leave our partners with the kids. That'll show them! Theres a show on Foxtel that I watched a few times called "I want my mummy" and the mums go away for a weekend to get pampered and the dads take care of the kids and do all the jobs the mummies do, by the end of the weekend they're always so glad for their wives to return and appreciate what they do so much more.

Shell - im absolutely loving that idea. Jed would be so f$$ked after it.
I felt really bad for doing that post before but its so good to hear im not the only one. Thanks girls for sharing and listening. I really do like the idea of meeting up somewere over night but. Maybe when our babies are one or something or everyone has stopped Boobie feeding so theirs no owies. Okay, I'll start a swear jar for real, and I'll put $$ in it when ever I swear.
Adele - Mte im so sorry little man is so sick. Man here I am going on about the arse of a hubby of mine and yourve got the biggest worry in the world. I honestly dont know how you do it. Are you sure your only 22?? lol. Really mate, cr@p aside, my thoughts are with you and your kids. Your too brave.
Just came home from a lovely meal with my parents and brother. Some P Platers drove past my dad and abused him for driving to slow, bad move to do cause I was already out of my car and ready to go (IYKWIM - fisty cuffs) they **** when I kicked their door. Mind you this was only an hour after the phone call with Jed so it was a good tension release.
Thanks again girsl, man I loves ya's all
xxmaz

Maz - when did Vy change so much! She is even cuter !!! I want another litle girll.. can we swap kids for a day ??? So i can cuddle a sweet little pink bundle and you have my stinky blue one??

Little p - your on mate...im so clucky for a little boy its not funny and Alexander looks good enough that I could just ohh eat him up. oh im going gooey inside. I even want the same name I had picked out for Vy - Matausz Josif. I cant wait until christmas next year. OH as for the stinky bit, VY has the most rotten f@rts ever. I changed her formual 2 days ago and she's been farting but better still her pooh is now yellow again and not green anymore and she sleeps all the time (thank god).
Jed thinks im nuts cause I keep collecting the hair that Vy has lost in her sheets and putting it in a bag, she had really dark brown hair when she was born and now its growing back strawberry blonde and fuzzy (like Wilhelms). I wonder is she'll get my green eyes aswell
