Yeah we certainly aren't the chatty bunch we all were when pregnant
Pixie chick - glad you are back *mwah*
hello to everyone else - hope everyone is travelling well and lovin their little bubbas to pieces!
AFM - Miss M is getting into the habit of having one day sleep me thinks.. she had a HUGE sleep yesterday morning - 3.5hours!!! So of course, didn't go down for another one in the arvo, then she fell asleep on her 6.30 bottle, and then she was awake again by 7.30. Not a huge fan of sleep this one. But she is just such a happy, easygoing little munchkin...
Been awhile since I posted in here, been realy busy with school holidayd and all the kids being here. Reaghan has started to do the one hand walk so don't think it will be far away from walking on own. She is eating well and has started to sleep better at night again after weeks of 2 hourly if lucky feeds over night. She is now eating small bits of cut up meat and vegies that are not mushy.
I can't believe how fast the time has gone with her. I am so glad I decided not to go back to work or would only have another month to go. Though I will be working casaul here and there which will be good.
Well I've just come back from emergency and the news isn't good. My dr this afternoon rang to give me my BT results which wasn't good they were decreasing so I don't have a viable pregnancy. So after a couple of hours in emergency they have booked me in for a D&C in the morning.
I want to thank you all for all your support during this hard time. It just wasn't meant to be this time round we will just get back on the horse (as they say) and try again...
Mez - very sorry to hear that news... Was keeping everything crossed for you. Take consolation in your beautiful Izzy - she could probably just about get you through anything.
Sending lots of love, hugs and happiness your way. Will keep everything crossed that the next attempt is a whole lot happier for you.
WOW it?s been so long since I have posted. Been pretty busy just looking after the boys, and I?m slowly cleaning out my house, I have accumulated so much crap in the past 10 years. I am actually writing this in word and will paste it because I know I won?t finish it right now. I haven?t been on BB at all lately and hardly even on FB either. I guess ATM I have just been in one of those couldn?t be stuffed kinda moods. Just kinda doing my own thing.
Personals first:
Mez- I am so sorry for your loss. And I truly hope this sad time passes fast. I?ll be thinking of you, your DH and Izzy tomorrow.
Bell: Bummer with the chicken pox! Hope the girls mend quickly. I have never had them so I?m sure it will be a blast when it?s our turn.
Arimeh: Sebi isn?t much of a sleeper either if we spend the day shopping he?ll sleep more but if we are at home he will only have one long nap at about 10.30am. Caleb on the other hand sleeps all day and all night, I honestly think the lazy bugger sleeps more than he plays.
Pixie: glad you had a great holiday will try to read all about it soon. I wouldn?t mind a NZ trip one day myself. But only when the kids are older. But john and I are going to Hervey bay / Fraser Island in November without the kids and then hopefully up to coffs in early next year as a family. And too bad with AF it was bound to happen. lol. Its such a PITA.
Tenny: I bet you were so proud of DS playing soccer! I cant waite till my boys are old enough for sports. What a little champ you have.
Missy: ok I?m gunna ask ?what the hell is twilight? I think I?m lost in my own world, hehe sometimes I feel I have lost touch with the rest of the planet. Hehe, that?s what happens when you don?t have time to watch TV or read papers etc.
I truly hope everyone else is doing well sorry I haven?t posted to everyone but its late and I hope to put this in before I turn into a pumpkin.
As for us;
Well it?s all good here as usual. No big problems, had to see a clinic nurse today to have Caleb assessed he is a little slow for his age, it wasn?t too bad but he didn?t do as well as I expected. He only failed in Communication, fine & grose motor skills and personal and social development so he is being referred to a specialist for those things, he is classed as hi risk in having problems because he was a prem and also because he needed oxygen for a day or so after birth. I?m not worried at all I think he is just lazy and the clinic nurse said the same thing but it?s important to get him in now while he is young. Isaac has also been referred to a speech therapist; he talks and is getting better every day but still very hard to understand and also makes up his own words, just the other day he was trying to say chocolate but was saying mamoo?????, they also want to check his hearing but not till we see the speech therapist first. Its funny my boys are so different to each other. Caleb (aka budda) weighs 11.6kg and sebi (aka monkey) is only 9.6kg. Caleb is quiet and shy and sebi is loud and a bit wild. I often think sebi and Isaac should be the twins as they are sooooo much the same. I really am quite proud of them they all have such strong personalities wether loud and playful or quiet and cuddly they are just wonderful. I think all three are having growth spurts ATM. They seem to be eating me out of house and home. Sebi and leb are just awesome eaters (sometimes sebi gets fussy but he is still doing so well) we have 3 formula bottles a day. Breakfast is wheetbix with cow milk, lunch is fruit and usually a sandwich or if shopping I?ll give a jar of something just so its easier. And dinner is whatever we are having (as long as they can eat it) and I top them up with a jar so I know they have eaten enough and have a full belly for bed. They don?t walk and only kinda stand when holding onto them but our little monkey sebi is so dam fast on his knees. Caleb has only just started crawling its kinda like the hare and the turtle around here. lol. Both have 2 bottom teeth. Sebi says mum, dad and Isaac and Caleb sometimes says dad but does giggles a lot. I can?t believe I?m already planning their 1st birthday party, just wait till you see the cake we are making. Its gunna be a masterpiece. Hopefully it won?t be too cold.
Well really that?s all that?s happening.
Please take care all and I?m sure I?ll be back again soon.
ps: how strange when i pasted this from word into BB all the ' are now ?, wonder why?
