I cant wait to see some pics & hear all about his arrival... Hope your boys are behaving for their mummy :)

YAY :dance: Congrats JOY!!!!! Welcome ETHAN!!!

just uploaded new photos

Hi Everyone,
just popping in quickly. I can't believe how much easier it is the second time around. Last night Ethan woke up just once for a feed!!!!! so one at 1015pm, one at 245am and one at 730am. i am waiting for things to change but enjoying it while it is so good. He just eats and sleeps and Caden is fantastic with him. Had a few settling in issues when we got home as Caden got quite distressed when Ethan cried but thats already seemed tohave passed and apart from the 5pm witching hour when things can get a little demanding we are doing ok.
Thanks for all the well wishes, we got our VBAC and life is manageable at the moment as DH is home and very helpful - bless his soul. gotta go, Caden is calling

Welcome home Joy! Well done on the VBAC!!! bet u feel all powerful after that! glad 2 hear he's doing well.

welcome home Joy & Ethan!
so happy you got your VBAC, look forward to hearing more about it!

Amanda- how are you going? wondering how many weeks you are now?

Yey Joy congrats on a succesful VBAC and of course the lil Ethan

hopefully we have sorted out em's issues. she is lactose intolerant and has reflux. getting easier now but has to gain heaps of weight still. she was 4.93 kg yesterday.

ali i hope the reflux gets better, what is she on for it?
I had Nixon on zantac for a long time, didnt stop the spews but stopped the pain assoc with it so it was bearable atleast.
what sort of formula do you have to give her now?

Right now she is having s26 LF but might switch to karicare delact. we r just using Karicare food thickener in her bottles to control the reflux

Boy it has been quiet in here lately.. we fell off the first page even!!!!

Big news..... Alexa is finally sleeping in a big bed... well her cot with the side off And.......... she is sleeping through the night & not even getting out of bed!!!!!! why oh why didnt I try this earlier LOL... She has been in her "Big" bed since friday night... She was a really mobile baby in bed & tossed & turned really bad, but she seems to be staying put more this way... yahoo!!!!

Day sleeps still iffy... but only cause if she doesnt want to sleep she gets out of bed & plays LOL... or if I forget to totally shut the door (old habits die hard!!!) she comes running down the hall with her teddy & cuddly LOL

Well done Joy & congrats.

Xlnt Mitch.

Hello everyone,

I have finally found this thread. Have not been around for months or even 12 maybe. Anyway, thought I would post so I don't loose it again and then I will read and catch up over the next few days.

We are TTC #4 and I am in the 2ww. Not sure if we will succeed 1st time but who knows. Hello Mitch I remember you, will have to see who else is here I remember.
Anyway off to bed with me.

Hi Rose!
I dont remember you but i wasnt chatting in the belly buddies April group. Nixon arrived on the 17th April @ 33weeks. Good luck over the next week or so i hope you caught the egg! Have you been trying for long? We just had our second baby Tyron 5 weeks ago!

Mitch- thats great Alexa is in a big bed, we really need to buy nixon one so h can get used to the idea before Tyron needs his cot. ive been saying it for months and we still havent bought one.

Hi Rose.... I do remember you... Hows things going.. Hope you have #3 on the way real soon...
We will probably statrt TTC #2 late next year...

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA, have just been sooo busy. We went to melbourne for a weeks holiday and had so much work to catch up on when we got back. Abbey went and stayed at my mums for the week, which was nice, but i missed her. Still saw her twice when I met them for shopping.

Congrats to Joy and Nickers on your beautiful babies! I hope all is going great for you.

I have been thinking about putting abbey in a bed soon too. I have a bassinett for the baby so I dont need the cot straight away. Abbey has just stopped cosleeping with me half the night and is resettling in her cot. The next step is moving her into her own room. She still wakes once or twice but is getting better.

Hi rose, welcome back..I remember chatting to you. Good luck TTC, hope it happens soon for you.

ALi.. hope that emma is doing better with her feeding and reflux, it doesnt sound like much fun for her.

Well I am 30 weeks now and feeling the heat lol. I have been getting the worst heartburn and my ribs feel like they are going to break, but not too long to go now. Once christmas is over its going too quickly.

Abbey is doing really well. She is babbling heaps more now, but doesnt really say anything too much. But she is understanding alot more these days and can do what I ask her to. I was hoping to start her TT soon but she is nowhere near ready, she quite happily sits in a pooey nappy till I smell it lol.

What is everyone getting for christmas this year? Abbey is getting a swing set, but i'm stuck for other ideas.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their babies (even though they are not babies anymore :( lol )

Talk soon

Hi Amanda great to hear from you! Wow almost 31weeks now! I hearyou onthe heartburn, not much fun, what do u take for it? I found the Zantac tablets the best for me.

we have got Nixon a toy work bench, and some other bits and peices and also going to get the shell & a small swimming pool. I think FIL is buying a cubby house, we will prob buy him a swing set for his 2nd birthday or as a combo xmas present next yr for both the boys.

hi everybody been really busy
jess is so much a little girl now they grow up so quick everything u say she trys to say she says so much now and u can have a little chat with her its great anyway shes awake better go bye
