Nickers I was just thinking the same things as I was reading through the posts haven't seen shell for ages! Hope everything is ok.
Financially things are really starting to get bad for us if I don't get a job soon or if the house doesn't sell things are going to go from bad to worse and maybe even dier things just aren't seeming to happen before Declan I was having jobs thrown at me and all I seem to get now is a Dear John grrrr!
Hey to all sorry for the groan and run!
becky - you can have a whinge when ever you want!!! It is amazing how much finances change from having a child! - we lived on just gavins wage from the minute we started just to see how we would go - and it was fine when it was just the 2 of us - but now i have to be a bit tighter on certain stuff - there are months that kill us - like this month - 2 car rego's and 2 insurances. hope everything work out for you
Nickers - we're due november... early november but I'm expecting it to be atleast a week late! Lovely to hear that the move went well and the sale too! congrats.
Becky - I really feel for you. I'm sure something will come soon but feel most free to gripe here. We all have and will again at sometime or another, where else can you gripe otherwise? All gripes most welcome.
Jacci - how'd the job interview go?
We're doing alright. Caden is very mischievous, bless his little, highly active soul!!!!! DH is home this saturday night (12am) and I can't wait, its been the longest week.
Saw my ob yesterday, he is really happy with things and the baby is strong and healthy despite me being so tired all the time.
I'm always tired but generally enjoying life a bit more now,
and now it's bed time for me!
oops sorry Joy, thats right initally you thought you were due mid-late Oct then your EDD changed.
Glad to hear all is going well.
i had an ultrasound yesterday and everything looks good here too.
Bub weighs appox 1kg and head circ of 25cm. fluids etc all look good.
Becky, dont appologise we all come in here to groan at times.
speaking of where is, where is ABS? he hasnt been in here for a while either.
Yeah i hope Shell is ok cause she'd be due in a few weeks wouldnt she?
Hehe, my ears must've been burning, I've been procrastinating about catching up in this thread (since May) & said today, that's it i have to, even if i just post & not read the probably large backlog, hehe, I read the last 2 pages, so sorry if I've missed alot.
Sorry guys, just feel like what time i do have spare that i've been sleeping or doing choirs or playing with Holly, etc.
I've been posting a bit in the due late Aug07 thread & add to my Milestones via my www.
Oh Bec, hope things start to turn around for u & u get lots of great job offers next wk.
Yep I have to agree Jacqui & that was us early this mth too, car rego/insur & 2 insur.
Bec congrats on ur cuz's new bub.
Jacqui, hope the job interview went well.
Joy sounds like ur doin well amoungst the tiredness, good to hear. You too Nickers & Ali? Wow not long for u now Ali, ur the wk b4 me.
2 more by sounds of it too, congrats Amanda & Kate, wonderful news.
Tue/Fri mornings Holly watches TV (ABC), but i haven't shown her any dvds yet, i know sis is getting her a hi5 dvd for xmas.
How cute Bel, Holly hasn't had any new words for quite a while, taa & nonono were her last. (otherwise only says mumum, dadad, bubub, nanan). She's only just started showing us her tummy, hehe.
What a good sis Janae's being. We did our tax returns a few wks ago & luckily got reasonable amount back (incl $1200 for 2 medical tax returns), but most gone against the mortgage to help get us thru next mat leave which starts in 1wk, yay. Already got paperwork back for CCB & FTB tax returns but still waiting on CCB rebate tax return which I hear wont be assessed for anyone until Sept, doh.
That's good that the rash was nothing serious for Josiah too.
Oh bgr Amy, I never knew that, Holly still drinks 2-3 200ml bottles of toddler formula (i've been trying to keep her to 2). They say if/when u go to just milk u need to give an iron supplement, there are at least 2 diff ones the chemist nurse showed me, but I didnt know about it b4 that. Holly has runny poos & moment & fighting hard to get rid of the nasty nappy rash that has gone with it, skin stripped off in areas, now using Hydrozole but as soon as she does another poo it starts to get worse again, but she's also teething & this happens often with teething. Think she has 16 now. If it doesnt improve on Mon I'm takin her to GP. So what were the symptoms apart from runny poos?
How much RAM did they give u for that price Kate? I get ours at the computer fair & it's usually 1/3 the price of the shops. :)
Oooh very exciting Mitch, where bouts u going?
Hi to everyone else, hope ur all doin well.
we have 2 weeks n 1 day to go but looks like i'm gonna go early! Have had a show n strong bh so DH reckons it will b within the week :crossfingers::crossfingers::crossfingers:! looking forward 2 it coz the physio reckons my pelvis should return to normal after delivery n if it doesn't they can do more electro therapy n hopefully repair the damage.
Have MW appt on wednesday but hope have delivered by then!
Sarah has finally gained sum weight!! 300g since walking started (6 weeks) but I think it's all muscle. She has a bruise on her cheek from a trip but that's just part of being a toddler i guess.
VV tired n brain not really working so better go
Shell - I think we paid $100 for 512MB of RAM. is that expensive? I have no idea. Where is the computer fair you are talking about? Good luck with the last few weeks of your pregnancy. Hope all goes well.
Same to you Alisando. Look forward to hearing your news.
Im feeling quite sick at the moment. Looking forward to getting the next 4 to 5 weeks over with. It is hard running around after the boys while feeling so sick and tired. Oh well will all be worth it in the end! And this will most likely be the last child for me so I have to make the most of this pregnancy.
I have no idea what Sam weighs at the moment. I keep forgetting to put him on the scales. Must go write that down on a to do list!
Shell - just a quick thing I learnt on the weekend from my mum. Caden has been having a really bad rashon his little tush for the last week, blood and all and my mum gave me some Z.S.C powder to put on it. It has almost gone since Saturday after fighting it for a week. I had forgotten that mum used to use it on us when we were kids. it's fantastic and you get it from the chemist. It seems to keep his bottom drier and works well even with cloth nappies!
Good luck with the upcoming event too!!!
OMG Shell & Amanda I cant believe you have less than 3 weeks to go... where has the time gone!!!!!
We are staying at the Santorini apartments in Nobby beach... I cant wait to get away & have a break... been a long time coming...
we had really bad flooding over here yesterday... hoping that we wont get anymore rain for awhile... my BIL was moving his cattle by truck at 9pm last night.. just aswell too cause the whole area is under water now & you cant even see the top of the fence posts!!!!... Thanks god we live on a rise & the small amount of water we had at home just ran under the house...
Anyway... better get on with some work...

Declan's put on 700g last week so cutting back his milk has helped a million times over. We will be going back to a paed soon though since the head paed at the Base isn't happy with they way we've been brushed off. Thats about all thats new here.
Anyone else have any new baby news to share lol.
Jacci - Oh congrats on the job. You will sure know you're alive now. I'm finding that the days fly by now I'm doing my job part time.
Shell, Amanda, Lisa, Nickers & Joy - WOW I can't believe how fast your pregnancies are flying by (maybe not for you guys) How are you all feeling?
Mitch - hope the rain settles for you guys and you don't get anymore flooding.
Kate - hope you are feeling better soon.
Bec - how are things going on your end with jobs?
Jesabel - How are you guys going?
Bel - how's Josiah's rash going?
Abs - where have you got to?
Sorry if I've missed anybody.
Still nothing Amy and no contract on the house either :o(
shell- good to hear from you!
just been looking at your pics, wow u got heaps of bubby pics very cute!
What was the swollen face about? what happened?
im feeling alright, got a bot worried last night when BH seemed to be coming every 5-7min for 2hrs, then they finally stopped thank goodness.
congrats on the job Jacci hope you enjoy it!
Mitch- how long now till your trip?
Z.S.C powder Joy? havent heard of it? where do u get it from?
goodluck Ali! hoping you have bubs in the next few days or next week, hopefully having your show already means its all starting to happen! and you thought you would go over didnt you? hope your MW appointment went well and maybe you already have your little bub in your arms!
hi to everyone, only have limited internet access atm cause our comp and internet havent been set up in the new place yet.
Hello all.
We have had gastro this week which triggered sum contractions in the middle of tuesday nite. but alas no baby. her head is so far down that the mw could only feel it by doing an internal. she hopes i dont make 40 weeks but there's only 10 days to go.
Congrats jacci on ur job!
gtg
Gosh Mitch hope things are okay. SOunds like your house is sited in a good spot though, keep in touch.
Congratulations Jacci on the job. I have only worked one day since having Caden and it was fantastic to be back out there.
Nickers - I'll have a read of the bottle when Caden wakes up. Not willing to chance him waking up at the moment, need a break. You get it from the chemist though. My mum used it on us when we were kids for sores, grazes, nappy rash etc... great stuff. Forms a crust on grazes and helps them heal without scarring. Though I think the reason we are having so much trouble with Cadens little tush at the moment is that we have changed the liner we're using in his cloth nappys so I'm going to change back and see how we go. We havn't had this trouble at all til recently, seems a bit too coincidental that it happened at the same time as changing nappy liners... hmmmm
Can't remember anything else. We're going ok here. DH has been called away to work on short notice. He left this morning at 6am and will be home about 8pm Friday night. I'm already missing him as Caden is really grizzly, though one of his cheeks is quite red... teeth?
I'm off to go rest up before the evening session with Caden starts.
bye all
hey all not much to report still no job and still no contract it is really starting to get to me now
try not to stress becky. has your house sold??
nope thats what I meant by no contract i.e contract of sale it is really starting to get depressing now
