Jen, OMG you poor thing, lets hope some teeth stay down till you get through it.
Hi prama, hows things.
Sorry I didnt get to read the other thread girls. I hope you are all well.
I have had problems with my tummy. The doctor thinks its a ulcer, and I might have Endo' too. Well that stops me worring about falling preggas again.
Jakes just so full on now. He pulled a big wall print off the wall yesterday. Between Tara and Jake its hard to find time to post on here. I have to think positive, only 1 more week of school holidays.
Whos been buying at the toy sales? What did you get? Im waiting for the Target sale to get Sponge bob lego for Tara and DH.
Prama - I had the US last Friday and have the drs appointment monday. Nothing to be seen on the US, so hopefully will be getting the all clear.
Jen - So sorry to hear that the whole family was sick; it is so hard looking after them when you are sick. Hope everyone is better now! Good luck with your NT scan; will be so good to see your new little one!
Karlie - Hang in there! I am busy enough with one, let alone two... Hope your tummy problem will be minor and get sorted soon. We haven't gone to the sales yet, as we have to go to the next town, they don't have much here. Did you find a good bargain?
As for me; sick with the flu. Lucky DP is home, gave me the chance to stay in bed this morning. Feeling slightly better now, hopefully on the way up.
What things are your bubs into? Jasper just loves Thomas and the Wiggles; can't get enough. Lol, when we are walking through the shops and he sees Wiggles or Thomas somewhere the whole town knows about it!

Sorry I haven't checked in for a while, DH and I have had gastro and it was horrible! At first I wasn't even sure if if was just ms but then it got really bad. Yuck. And so hard looking after a toddler when we were both ill. We seem a little better today thankfully.
esme - sorry to hear you have been sick too, glad that DP has been around to help out. And what fantastic news about your scan! You must have been so stoked!
karlie - sorry to hear about your tummy, I hope it's nothing serious.
jen - good luck with your scan on Mon!
Hi to everyone else, sorry I can't remember what else was in the last thread! Oh, dancing, DD is quite a dancer and has a number of moves. She wiggles from side to side, front to back, swings her hips, waves her arms, goes around in circles... and everyday she comes up with something new! It's so cute!
grrrr so grumpy, I just wrote out the longest post and the computer ate it!!!!
Esme, I'm sorry Hun, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Good news about the scan though. xox
Sue, OMG I'm devasted!! I have finished all the twilight books, what am I going to read now? Any suggestions, it doesnt seem like anything can compete with that series!!! I've changed my name to bella, moved to Forks enough already where the hell is my Edward?? Heheh Poor Adam has some high expectations now, thank god for fictional adonis's! Amen! LOL.
Karlie, we went to the Kmart sale, Zane is pretty set for Chrissy/birthday now we put it all on the christmas layby. We got some lego duplo, a chalk/magnet board, some books, Tonka trucks, a toddler laptop that helps with letters, numbers etc, and A black and Decker tool bench. It was so much fun.... All of the girl stuff was gorgeous....So I bought some gifts for the wee girls in our life that we buy for....Sighs....Had to get my pink fix!!
hey Prama, how are things with you? How is the PND? If ever you need to talk I'm always here OK, although I might not know what to say I'd be more than happy to just listen to you vent/cry etc. Just know you don't have to go through this alone. How's poppy and Steve and the housework situation coming along.
We got a new dog.....Luger...He is a pound pupper who's owner who had cancer could no longer care for him, he is so gentle, Zane and him get a long great, so far so good. Photo's on my facebook page if you want a sqwiz.
How are the Yummy Mummy's to be? Hope you are both feeling better and conrats on "12weeks" I'm with you Prama, i couldn't handle another baby atm, no being "a single mum" it's too trying and I think I would start plumetting towards rock bottom instead of just mozzying along. I agree maybe start of next year...mmmm we'll see.
Ok girls...*****WARNING...has the possibility to make you feel slightly jealous proceed with caution*****
We had the baby whisperer come last Friday to help with Z's bad sleeping, he has since slept through 13 hours a night with day sleeps in his own bed, settling himself with out getting in and out of bed a hundred thousand times, i can't believe it!!! I have actually had 2 really good nights sleep, couple that with my St Johns Wart and I feel like a new woman...almost like the old Sonya...Crazy!! And just incase your wondering, no I'm not drunk!!
BBL Later I smell something I'd rather not coming from Z's direction.
Hi Girls,
yes, i know....it's been AGES since I was here to say Hi. I had a read of past posts and sounds like all is well with you lot....couple of bubba's on the way and all!!
We are all well.....well if you don't count the constant illness that abounds in our house since Zoe started childcare!!!
Zoe is a fully-fledged walking and talking toddler. It's starting to get very hard to keep up with her! Last time i was in here she didn't have any teeth....well, she DID get some eventually, but only has three at the moment!!! tee hee!
As for us....we are half-heartedly TTC our 2nd. I think tiredness is our biggest hurdle!! HA HA!!!
I'll do my best to check in more often!
See ya soon!
Prama; Rene's visit cost $335 she was here for 2 1/2 hours and we also have a phone consult follow up when we need it. I know it sounds expensive but I was seriously at my wits end. that was even with Adam at home. I cannot tell you how much it has helped. She gave me heaps of info too.... let me know your email and I'll forward it too you, You might be able to get what you need from that??? No point in both of us paying, at least you might be able to get a feel for the techniques and see what you think. Huge hugs sweetie, I've just come out of my sleep deprived coma so i know how your feeling...Let me know if there's anything I can do or if you wanna give me a call I'll pm you my number. xox
Bun - Oh no, you too.. I hope you will feel better soon .
Sonya - What great news! It sounds like that baby whisperer was certainly worth the money. Everything for a good night sleep! Yay on having a new puppy; what breed is he?
Danda - Good to hear from you again. I hear you on the teeth, or lack thereof, Jasper only has 6 so far. I have to agree; TTC #2 is a lot more challenging then TTC #1 .
As for us; Jasper woke up with croup this morning, poor bub, he had the really bad cough and noisy breathing, but lucky he wasn't panicky. Gave him some Predmix, so hopefully he will pick up soon. I had my doctor's appointment yesterday and he gave me the all clear; no more follow ups for the breast issue; it is all gone! So very happy!
YAY, Esme that is such great news, I bet you are over the moon to be able to put that behind you!! Luger is a German Shepherd (our last 2 dogs also were) he is 10 months but he is huge, sometimes hard to remember he is still a pup. The BFG as we have nicknamed him. Did you guys read that book? Big friendly Giant?
Hope you got food in that tummy of yours Prama...hehe. How did you guys go last night? Did Poopey give you a night off from his not so great sleeping? How's work going today? Hope they are going easy on you.
How you feeling Bun? Hope you guys are feeling better, My parents are home with gastro, not plesant, and dad is awful when he is sick...Poor Mum!
Hope your surviving the holidays Karlie & Sue Hope all of your kidlets are being nice to their Mummies. If you guys get the chance to check in...Hi....
It's raining up here today, so we are pretty much holed up inside, luger has taken over the back patio and it's now covered in wet dirty paw prints...One of the perks of not having a dog was that at least we could paint or draw out there, stay dry but at least get him out of the "house"....Will have to think of something else to do.
Well it's luch time here so I'm off, not more to report anyhow. have agreat day girls.
ooh poor jasper.. this winter sure doesnt help.. i cant wait till it's over!!
and hooray!!! so so happy to hear all is good!! such a relief!! yaay!!!!!
i saw pix of luger. he's so cute!!!
does Z think he's a little pony and try to climb on him.. they must be so cute togehter
lol. did have pizza for dinner last night!
im starving again! but have to eat later.. going to the gym soon. so need to loose weight for my cousin's wedding.. but all that exercise and ive just lost 0.5kg over a mth! oh well..
(yes it doesnt help when i have pizza for dinner1
esme - yay on getting the all-clear, what a relief!! Sorry Jasper's not too well, I hope he gets better soon. I am sure you will conceive #2 soon, we have found the opposite - conceiving #2 was much easier than #1!
prama - I hate dieting, it's way too hard! I have found one pretty good way to lose weight though for the moment - get preggers! I weighed myself this morning and have lost 3kgs!
sonya - I saw pics of Luger too, what a cutie. I hope you are enjoying him. DD loves our dog - she tries to sit on him, pats him (although it is more like bashing) and he is ever so patient with her. Yes, I remember the BFG!
danda - Hi! Good to hear from you again.
I am still feeling pretty shocking, but at least it's just ms now, no more gastro. I wish this would go away soon!
lol bun... and then at the end i'd end up putting on so much more..
ive just got back to my pre-preg weight.
i'd love to loose a few more kgs, before i got pg again so i dont get as big in the end.. tho they say you put on more on ur subsequent pgs?
Scan went well. HB was about 173 bpm and the nuchal fold was 1. something. So all good for now. Except I have some spotting again... I am not too worried seeing as the scan was only last night and it was ok.
A big hello to everyone and I have read about all, just have a lack of time to respond til tomorrow....
