Hi everyone,
Well my u/s went well, I guess. Bubs is healthy. He's still measuring big- between 37-38wks (eeek!!!). And fluid is still in the upper limits of normal. The Dr at the u/s clinic wasn't worried about it though and said he'll probably just be a big baby. I'm hoping that's all it is. I'm also hoping all is well and that I don't have GD. I am thinking the OB will send me for the 2hr test next week, just in case. But that's ok, I want to rule it out anyway. It's no wonder I feel like a stuffed pig!!! LOL!
My god you girls can chat!!! I will just catch up on todays posts......
Kaz, sorry to hear Pip is sick, poor little man. You guys are going through the wars aren't you? I hope you can find a peaceful way to get his medicine into him. Have you tried when he's watching tv or really distracted something? You probably have....What about a nebuliser, you can give ventolin in that, that would surely be better than a puffer and spacer?? Maybe ask your doc?
Mel, can't wait to hear what sex bubs is! Woohoo!!
How cute with Olivia's stomping. Lily does this littel running on the spot thing which is cute. She does it when she's super excited too, as well as turning in circles, it's so funny!
Glad to hear her rash cleared up. She must have pretty sensitive skin. I've been lucky with Lily's. She gets a little ecxzma, but it's easy to control. She's got a rash on her face an fanny atm. I've been putting castor oil cream on but it's not getting better. I'll have to go to the doc...
And yep, the night garden is a saviour in this house too, LOL. Lily loves it and will bowl anyone over if they're in her way when she hears it start!! The DVD's and other merchandise isn't on sale in Aust yet, sometime in Sept. I heard. There are books, I brought one for Lil the other day and she loves it. I have to sing all the songs for all of the characters....the sad thing is I can, hehehe!!!!
Dis, yay that you're feeling heaps better lately, I hope it continues!
Kris, sorry to hear 'your' house sold. That sucks. I remember looking for this place, house hunting is the worst, I couldn't imagine doing it pg with 2 toddlers.
Ok gotta go and wash up....hope you all have a good day and weekend!
I just had to have a giggle kel when you said you could sing all those songs....well me too, I am mesmorised by it too. I love iggle piggle and I have that song stuck in my head! Cant wait for stuff to come out on Aus, might be her chrissy present. I did see some on ebay though, available from UK. Arent they funny these kids. Olivia does the whole turning in cirlcles, to the point she falls down and lies there and does snow flakes with her arms and legs. Shes started singing to a musical toy, just a word here and there. I look at her some days and wonder when she got so big and so clever and so funny and cheeky. I also cant believe you dont have long to go...5 weeks OMG how time has flown. Sounds like a big boy, good luck with the birth and hope it all goes to plan for you.
Kaz- yep something neat for Pip at the funeral. All the best with it. Hope hes feeling better too.
Kristie- am sure you can find plenty of reasonably priced places in that area. Have you looked at Endevour Hills...next to Narree, but closer in??? They still have some cheap but big properties around. We like out in the sticks too, like ****atoo would be lovely, but DH is an electrician and works all around so we find springvale south central to all the free ways.
Ok, better go, am contimplating having a sleep since Olivia is. Shes been up since 615, so am tired. Oh and this baby has been going it all day....
OMG, Pip does the running on the spot and the spinning!
And he loves playing chasey, I have to run around chasing him heaps. So cute!
I've never heard of the night garden?
Kaz it's a show for babies on channel 2. It's at 9am. Lily absolutely LUUUUURRRRVVVVEEESSS it!! It's the only thing that will have her mesmerised for half an hour. I can actually get a few things done while she's watching it. After I do the circle thing on her hand or she does it to me and sing a few songs for her of course, LOL! I think it's quite sweet and I like, but alot of people find it annoying. Each to their own!!
Mel, maybe tape a few episodes for Olivia. I have and they are a god send when Lily's in a foul mood or if I need a break.
OK . went a little overboard shopping today. Got him a suit (shirt, trousers & vest) in black pinstripe with a pale blue jumper to wear next week. Also some new socks, mittens, a couple of books (the "little wombat" ones) and some other books .. also Peter Pan to read to him ... and some gumboots ... another shirt ... a raincoat ... pj's ...
Will keep eye out for it Kel!
Oh yes big night garden fan here too - and New McDonalds farm. If he hears the music for either he climbs on the couch to watch which is a bit cute.
Have the photographer here for the new round of pics so will do personals later.

HI,
I am back, DH has taken Beau to the park and I am supposedly finishing cleaning out my closet:redface:
Everything is ok here - Beau is still a bugger to settle and wants to stay up to 8:30 and isnt eating or drinking much milk but lots of water and watered down juice tho. He is pretty happy apart form that and not waking up during the night (touch wood) He woke up saturated yesterday and got a rash on his belly in the day which i think was from the wee - his bedroom smelt like an old mens urinal! Yuck!
Kel - Glad yr scan went well, not long now! Isnt it great when you have something that can buy you half an hour or so? I bought Beau some sesame street, Hi 5 and New McDons farm DVDs the other day just to have on hand for those trying moments! LOL!
Dis - Thats so awesome you feel great now passed the 12wk mark! Beau and Ben seem to be kindred spirits huh? Did Ben have a short nap today? Beau did! LOL I have tought him the batting eyelids too and he is too cute!
Kris - Hope the house hunting is going well today.
Kaz - Wow you did go overboard! Oh well, nice to bring a little sweetness to a sad day huh? Hope Pip is feeling better these past two days. How are you feeling on your new meds too?
Mel - cant wait to hear if its a "little fella" or not! I know - cant beleive how grown up these bubs are now huh? Olivia sounds adorable with her spining and snowflakes! How cute!
Once our house is online again with the new agent I will try and post the link (not that I know how to do that) - fingers crossed it is quick and painless.
We just stuffed our faces with prawns on yum bap rolls sitting out the back in our soon to be not poo free spotless back yard! It was yummo. Slept crap last night - must have been PG sleep sympathy or something but every b******* was out in our street last night making noise - god I sound old since I have had a baby LOL!
Ok better go, hope you are all having a nice weekend x
Hmmmm. I wonder if the library has the DVDs? Else I'll look in the video store, might see if he likes them before shelling out $$$.
Oooh and I also bought a set of storage boxes and shelves etc at Freedom - blue stripe - have shoes in one drawer, sox etc. Prolly doesn't mean much to you all, but for me it means that I actually have someplace to put the clean nappies, instead of inside "green bags" on the floor! I think it looks nice, and DH hasn't commented ... hehehe
So at the mo I'm moving Pip's linen from (more) green bags on the floor to the shelving unit ... trying to get rid of floor clutter what with Pip & the puppy!!!
Jen - I hope they do the trick & the house sells - oooh I know what you mean with that smell - when DH changes Pip's bum he always leaves the nappy on the floor for me to put in the nappy pail (erk) so the room stinks.
My meds are settling down, no longer so "twitchy" and stuff, not as emotional either... time will tell. Pip's a lot better, went back to the doc and we can stop with the cortisone, stay with the ventalin until his cough goes ... no need for chest xray!
Anyhows, back to it ... ciao ladies!
Hello girls,
Kaz, hehe, sometimes it's fun to go a bit nuts and buy everything for your bub. I love to shop for Lily, though we just can't afford it at the moment, but I love it cause I just can't seem to find stuff for me and there's ALWAYS stuff for her!
If you're talking about the Night Garden DVD's, they're not out yet. They come out in September(that's whet I was told anyhow). I just record them off the tv...
Jen, good lick with your new real estate. I hope this one is better. I'd love to see your place if you can get up the link! It's the voyer in me...I love to sticky beak in peoples houses, LOL!
Lily's been hard to settle for sleep lately too, taking up to an hour sometimes more. And not going to bed til 8 when it's usually 7. SHe usually takes no more than 15mins to go off to lala land. And last night, OMG!!!! I'm so glad DH was home or I would have gone nuts at her. She had a dreadful night sleep. Needless to say so did I. DH ended up going to sleep on the lounge with her at 3am. I was ready to burst into tears when he came in and saved me, LOL! I'm thinking maybe she's getting her eye teeth, but she won't let me get a propper look or feel, so who knows??
Oh well, that's it. Time to go and eat chocolate and veg on the couch!
Sorry have not been on for a while and have not read any posts but just thought i would share that I started spotting a few days ago and was sent for an u/s that showed no heartbeat so am waiting for the wekend to be over and if i do not miscarry natrually before Monday then I wil have t go in for a D&C........guess it was not ment to be I am finding it difficult at the moment as I had stupidly got all the baby clothes out and started washing them and set the bassinet up in my room had even settled on the name Grace or William so I feel the baby in many ways was already here...if that makes any sense at all probably doesn't.....Just brings back Liam's loss all over again.....I know I will be fine I have had to keep going... I survived Liam's death..so I can survive this ...
Sorry for the miserable post really i am:( Just wanted to let you know why i have not been around or maybe want be for a while
Oh Von, I'm so, so sorry hun :comfort: . I hope you can take things easy. You can pm me if you'd like a chat, I know the heartache of miscarriage all too well as well. Hugs again, take care.
Big hugs to you Von.
Kel, am sorry Lils not slept well, just when you think shes getting into a routine of some sort. olivia has been doing the same, although painless. Shes been waking up at around 4am and we've been popping her in with us, which has happened for the past 4 or 5 nights. I hope its not going to be regular. I am happy to do it coz she goes straight back to sleep and I have visions of our previous efforts of being awake with a screaming child for a few hours each night...yuck.
glad pip is getting better.
Just heard bang bang.....Olivia is in my room playing with my stethascope!!! Among other stuff cramed into the draw!!! Shes been getting into the bathroom draws so I have to go out today and get locks and I will fit the toilet lock too. Shes into everything. And she just doesnt listen when I say no...even in my grumpy voice. Yesterday she ened up hitting me because I wouldnt sit her on my lap while I was on the toilet....I yelled at her and she threw my mobile to the floor and dropped like a sack of potatoes and had a hissy fit!!!! Oh the joys! Shes also very clingy to me lately...so everyone is telling me I am having a boy!!! Lets see. Oh and shes still got runny poos that make her bum so red. I am putting it down to teeth...they do get runny poo with teething??? It seems its a side effect for her. SHes well otherwise. And the bad thing is they dont smell enough for me to notice, so I am constantly checking her.
Oh I just realised I wrote an epic! Dinner was lovely on Friday and DH will be back from Sydney tonight, better go get ready for the day.
Love Melissa
Ugh, another horrific night's sleep.....I'm sooo over these sleeping problems. And I 'm soo tired. Luckily I have a bbq to go to today otherwise I'd be falling asleep where I stand. I was falling asleep on the lounge berfore, seriously asleep, not just dozing. I didn't hear Lily get into the kitchen drawer and she pulled the glad wrap off the roll....lucky it was nearly empty I just chucked it out. I had to get up and do stuff so I couldnt fall asleep again. DH is at work, so no nanna naps for me today :( . And he won't be home til 8.30ish tonight, it's gonna be a LOOOOONG day! I'm just so over being me (poor me!!) at the moment, so hugely pg and always tired. I feel like all I'm doing is getting cranky at Lily or complaining to DH. He must be so sick of me too.
Anyway enough with the whinging!
Mel, Olivia sounds like Lily. I have 'childproof' locks on all of our drawers and have for ages. She's figured out how to open them though, she uses her teeth! Little brat. She's into everything too. I can't leave her for 5mins without supervision or she's into something she shouldnt be. She's now emptying her toy box completely so she can sit in it. She will go psyco if I try to put the toys back. She also stands on anything she can- pots and pans, her little pooh bear bike thingy, her toybox, the upside down washing basket....she's determined to make me go into labour soon by doing it too! She dances and sways on them like she's just sooo clever and there I am having kittens cause she's so close to falling off! She has fallen off the washing basket once, so I am trying my best not to let her have it, though she loves to sit inside it too, which I don't mind, it keeps her quiet for ages, but it doesn't take long for her to see if I'm not watching her and turn it over to stand on. Oh the tanty we get when I take it off her!! They're quite impressive for a 15mth old! I dread the terrible 2's if this is what she's like now...
Anyway, I should go and wash up while she's sleeping....happy Sunday all :D
morning ladies. OMG Kel - are the ones Lily can get into the clear plastic ones that you fit over a button type thing?
I was thinking, its so easy with kids. The sizes are their ages ... I think adult clothing should be the same! Standardisation!!!!
Anyhows, Dad's coming down for the week tomorrow, I'd best go and clean up downstairs.
Holy Moly Kel- what a cleaver little chicken you have. I just decided to do the bathroom coz up until now shes been good with not going into draws. She really tested my patience last night though. So I have gone and fitted the button ones one, lets hope she doesnt figure how to open those, or I'll just have to lock the bathroom up all together. I also did the toilet today- no more fishing with her toothbrush!! I've cleaned the house today, been shopping and now am relaxing while the girly bop sleeps (finally). I have my scan tomorrow afternoon....I am so excited. It feels like its taken ages for it to come about.
Well, chat soon
Hi there....
Mel - beau is exactly the same - really bad poos for the last few days, he has done four today. Where do I get moogoo for his butt? I am not sure if teething gives them poos like this - I keep putting it down to dietary things but its not that different (his diet) day to day. And you took Olivia to the specialist so who knows??? Good luck with your scan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
Kel - Wow at Lily and her curiosity! I cant childproof our stuff cause of the stupid open houses, doesnt look so nice you know? Besides he could open those clear ones too. Sorry that Lil's sleeping has gone backwards the last few nights. Heres hoping tonight is a better one - yay to your DH rescuing you before you lost it. He must be pretty sweet sleeping with her on the couch, I know a lot of men that would just let her cry in her cot dont you think?
Von - Hugs to you, its a horrible thing and hope you are taking it easy on yourself. I have had two (one late) and you need to greive for as long as you need. Not to worry if you dont feel like dropping in here, that is very understandable.
Kaz - Glad your meds have settled a bit ad Pip is feeling better - and yay for your organisation! I did my closet yesterday and it looks great! Not a struggle to find pjs or a non maternity bra anymore!
Us - I took a sleeping pill last night and have felt floopy all day - DH just looked after Beau for an hour and I snuck into the bedroom for a nap - ah bliss! We had baths at 2pm and have been watching footy (him) and jtv (me) and eating sausage rolls and party pies all arvo! He he! Had a meltdown today hanging out washing (i am so sick of trying to get towels dry in this weather with no dryer!) and Beau pulled them in on himself in the bath before....agrh!
Apart from that all is well...hope everyone is snugled up like us x
Hey girls my scans in 1 hour...yay. I am so excited. Last night was crap. Olivia was awake fron 1 til 3, then woke up at 4 and slept til 7. She just wanted to play. I brought her into bed with us for those 2 hours and she kept head butting or kicking the wall. She would also go up to dh or I and put her head on ours and start patting our heads and saying mumma or dada...cute...but not when I was tired. Shes with mum mum today as we had to do the end of year book work...thankfully all finished. I'll have my scan and go pick her up. I am so tearful today, already cried infront of my mum, which I nEVER do, so she started crying. I just want sleep. So at this moment I am thinking of you Kel and I just dont know how you do it.
I do think she is teething, still runny poos and fingers in her ears. She wont let me near her mouth though. Mel- just google moogoo and they have a list of stockists or you can order over the net. Olivia had only 1 runny poo yesterday but her urine is burning her skin. I had to go out and buy another jar of zinc and caster oil.
Ok, well better go and drink my quota of water!!! Hope I dont pee myself!!! Will let you know how it all goes:)
