Hi girls,
I'm still hanging around, waiting for baby.....waiting waiting waiting!!!
I didn't get much sleep last night with contractions and LIly up several times. DH had to work so she was all mine today. I went to mums! Mum and SIL looked after her for a few hours while I slept. I seriously don't think I got more than an hour in a row last night. All up maybe four hours sleep, and that's a generous guestimate....I'm still buggered after a nanna nap! Bubs is giving me a few good contrax today, but nothing regular.
Dis, Lil's not as sick as I thought she would be thank goodness. Just a cough, mostly at night though which wakes her :( just what I need even less sleep! At least when bubs comes I'll be used to absolutely no sleep....
Yay! @ going to the mountains. I love it up there. It so beautiful, and even in winter I love it. You can snuggle up to DH and find some beautiful cafe to eat in!
LOL @ leaving Ben. I've never left Lily either, though not from choice. Mum wont take her for the night, and I won't leave her with anyone else for the night. I would probably fret too.
Mel, as I said, I'm ok, just REEEEAAALLYY tired. Thanks for asking. I'm definately over being pg, but trying hard to be patient. I think if bubs isn't here on monday I might go in for a stretch and sweep, at least have them look and see if I'm at all dilated. I can tell you if I'm not I'll be p!ssed! All this pain and contractions for nothing!!
Kris, you've still got time to organise a weekend away! I would do it if I could, but we can't afford it, and it's just a little late now, LOL! I hear you on the food shopping. I hate it now. But I really feel the need to stock the cupboards before baby comes. Though I need DH to be with me cause he has to carry it all up the stairs. And to drive. I drove to mums today and had 2 contractions, not a good thing! And my tummy touches the steering wheel, LOL! I keep on having images of having an accident and the steering wheel going into my belly. I hate this overactive imagination I get when pg!!!
Anyhow, gotta go and organise dinner. Hope you are all well.

Hey Kel- this will be my last post until Monday. All the best for your labour. Thanks for the info in my other post too:)
Chat later:)

Hi Ladies
Just dropping into say hi - did a mega post the other day and lost it so have just been reading no posting the lst few days - but keeping up!
Kel - Oh no at contx and no sleep! Hopefully soon hon - glad Lil isnt sick tho
Mel - Have a great time - Olivia can enjoy gross luke warm yoghurt for 3 days yay!
Kris - Glad you are well and busy - DH is cranky with me all the time cause I want the newfurntiure now and have no where to put it! I am forever on ebay LOL1
Dis - Ben is a little cutie jabber jaws! I am form the Blue Mountains and I still love it
Us - Nothing to report really - been up since 4:4oam with Beau with a soaked body and he wouldnt go back off so today is gonna be a long one......trying to get an appt to go back to blonde hair this weekend (I change like the weather but have been brunette since B was born) I wonder how he will take it?
OK Beau has just presented me with a tub of yoghurt from the fridge!

I'm feeling rotten today. Had a migraine last night and have the usual migraine hangover today. Found out last night that my SIL who is only a year older than me has blod clots and won't be able to drive or work for at least six months. Gonna make looking after her three kids incl. a five month old hard! Also found out that a friend of mine's son, who is only 11, is thought to have bone cancer. Has put me in a terribly sad frame of mine and I keep weeping - not good when your at work!!!
The good news is that I felt Twobob from the outside last night for the first time. I think I might have felt him/her the other night, but last night it was definite :)
Ben had a big stack last night and got an instant golfball and bruise on his noggin. DH even though we should take him to the medical centre for x-rays, but he seems fine.
I just want to go home and go to bed :(
-
Hiya ladies,
Oh Dis, :hug: hun. Why don't you just go home? I would! Be Ben free for the arvo and just rest a bit, have a hot bath, go for a bit of a walk...
Jen, I hope Beau got some sleep for you, and you had a rest with him!
Mel, thanks, I hope I need it over the weekend and you come back to read my birth announcement!! Still not anything new, the same as the other days, more contractions overnight, more disgusting mucous, all to stop in the morning! Though I have been getting some more contrax this arvo, so maye things are moving, slowly, but hopefully moving...
Well, not much to report here. Lily has been good. She had a bit of a bad night, though not too bad. Shes waking screaming for some reason, I don't know if it's her teeth or she's dreaming or scared...DH has taken carers leave til bubs comes now, YAY!!! I don't have to get up for her at night, not that I'm not awake anyway, but it helps that I don't have to heave myself out of bed and have her on me through contractions!
She's been making us laugh alot lately, she's just such a clown!! She has this fake laugh and copies us when we laugh, it's so funny! She's saying alot more too, and is learning so many words all the time. This is a great time for her with learning she's just picking up so much.
Ok gotta go and eat something!
-
Hello my lovely ladies....
Wow i have spent ALL freaking day at the hairdressers going from very dark brown to extremely platinum blonde - very unsure at this stage (as was Beau on pick up) but DH of course loves me going back to blonde (how predictable are men anyway?)
Oh Kel I so have my fingers crossed for you lovely - gosh how much can a girl stand? At least Lil is being a little cutie and DH has his carers leave now so you guys can sit and wait :hug: well, chase Lil and wait.....
Dis, Sorry you had a migraine - so tough when PG especially as you cant take anything good for it :hug: to you too - hope you are feeling better and that little man of yours is giving you lots of cuddles, super exciting you felt two bob on the outside! Woo hoo! How great is that - makes it all the more real doesnt it? I am so sorry you have so much bad news in your family at the moment, sending you lots of good thoughts.
Us - We are good - B actully slept for Dh today which is a change - he has just woken back up after 5min of getting put down and gone back to bed with a bit more bottle and his teddy under the other arm (so cute!!!) I think he litterally watched TV and DvDs ALL DAY with Dh tho - he even went to Kmart and got the Night Garden one for him (so sweet!) - I do worry about B's obsession with tele - he stands infront of it now and whinges and whines and presses all the buttons to try and make it be one of his "shows" IYKWIM and nods his head like "Yes mummy make it be my show!!!" Question - How much Tv do your bubbas watch a day?
Ok - the smoke alarm is going off - if it wakes Beau I will freak
Have a good weekend!
Birth vibes Kel - good luck xxxx:pray:
Buh bye!!!

Just been stalking Kel's Belly buddies and woo hoo!!!!! Read below.....

Drug free birth (well done Kellie!!!!)
4.1kg
56cm long
HC 36cm
Mum & Bub are doing great!
From the sounds of it Kel was in labour for a while didnt know she was dialated- she was in a lot of pain and went into the hospital for a check up and was 8cm gone! Kel you are amazing - huge congratulations on your precious little angel boy xxxxx:dance:
-
Oh my gosh, what a champion Kel!!!! Congrats on little Liam!!! You are a true champ going to 8cms and not even knowing it - well done :) And then to go the rest of the way drug free - amazing. Well done to you.
Thanks for posting this in here Jen :)
-
HEy I'm back and saw the great news of little- well not so little- Liams arrival. Its great to hear she went drug free too.
Hugs to you Mel- am sorry about your bad news. Hope youre feeling better today. And congrats on the outside kicks.
Hey jen- I am ebay addicted too, gggrrrrr at least you can buy stuff eventually to put in your new house.
Me- I'm getting fatter:) thats all! Olivia did well at my mums. I wrote her up a routine and she basically stuck to it, so I havent had any problems:) My mum was suprised with herself coz she said she has never in her life stuck to a routine!!! Yep- thats my mum. Olivia came back with a massive bump on her eye brow from falling down some stairs. Thenn today I took her to the indoor play centre and she got carpet burn on her face and fell and split her lip. Shes fairly battered, but thankfully happy. Shes alsleep now, so am going to take this opportunity to clean and sleep myself:)
Take care and chat soon,
Love Melissa
-
Hey Mel......how was your weekend away alone with DH??????
Sorry to hear Olivia is in the wars! Poor thing! Hey but good news the weekend with your mum was ok for them both! Did Olivia turn her nose up at her cold yoghurt today? He he:D
-
Hey Jen- the weekend was great. It was so nice to have warm weather. DH and I had a good time together and got to go on a nice long walk in the gardens. That was the only time we really got to spend on our own coz it was busy. The flight home was very bumpy.
Poor Olivia hit her mouth again tonight and took more skin off it and there was loads of blood. Not having too much luck today, hopefully it will be better tomorrow!!!
Ok am going to go to bed, take care
-
Hi girls!
I'm doing much better this week :) Addicted to saos with heaps of butter and peanut butter on them, but at least they seem to be keeping the nausea at bay!
Mel, glad you had a good time away with DH. Poor Liv, I think they're just at that age now unfortunately. Ben has an awesome bruise on his noggin. When he ran into the wall (tripped over his own feet running away from his uncle!) he got an instant golf ball and bruise - it was a good one! Since then he's added two more, but they've faded pretty quickly. We'll see many more over the years I'm sure!
Jen, are you and Beau used to the new 'do yet? I'm sure it looks great. Ben has really taken to his Big Bird and Pooh Bear at the moment too. Hadn't been interested in fluffies until then, but now sleeps with one or the other. It's very cute :)
-
Hi!
Congratulations Kel! Woohoo! Wow - he was a big boy - what an effort though to have him so quickly and without drugs!!! Yeah!!! Hope your recovering quickly and enjoying your little man!
As for us...we had a weekend up at the PIL at Bonnie doon which was nice! The boys had a ball riding on the 4 wheeler and patting the cows! I got a bit of a rest in as well...
Mel - Glad you had a good weekend! Glad that Olivia went well at your mums despite the bumps...Geez..she's really in the wars at the moment! Poor little thing!
Jen - Wow on changing your hair! Good for you - I always used to get blonde highlights in summer and when I was a teenager went fairly blonde but I haven't done it in ages...I haven't done anything with my hair since being p/g but will look forward to it (one day?) when I'm finished reproducing! LOL! I know they say it's all safe but I'd just prefer not to do anything for now....I bet you feel fantastic!
In regards to tv....my boys watch waaayyyy to much at the moment...I'm sure it will slow down with the onset of some warm weather in a couple of months though...It is just such an easy thing to keep them occupied and when they love it so much it's hard to deny them! LOL! My boys are way to addicted though and often I feel guilty about it...
Disgirl - Sorry to hear of all your bad news...how awful...I hope your feeling better now after your migraine...poor Ben sounds like he was in the wars as well.. Big hugs to you both!
Ok..really must jump into bed...I'm soo tired! Chat later!
-
I can hear the crickets chirping in here :lol:
Your weekend sounds lovely Kris! I bet the boys had a ball :) How's the packing going?
Jen, I didn't answer your tele question. Ben doesn't much like TV. He gets bored easily while watching it. Occassionally, when he's tired or just in the mood for it, he'll sit and watch and entire show - we found out he like Ducktales the other day - yay!!! - but mostly he'd rather play.
Us, well, Ben has the most awful, bleeding nappy rash. Nothing we do seems to work. We've tried every cream we could find and it's just not working. I've asked mum to take him to the doctor today as he's just in agony. Don't know if there is anything they can do for him though.
Cute story, sorry if it's a bit long. Last night we were watching Funniest Home Videos and there was an ostrich on it. Ben pointed at it so I said "Yes, that's an ostrich". He stood there for a second and then disappeared into the kitchen. I asked DH to see what he was up to (ruining cupboards or drawers maybe?) and he brings him back in with something in his hand. Ben had gone out to the kitchen to get a toy ostrich he has - just a little Little People animal. He proudly shows us and says "Ossshtt!!!!". My heart just melted! The toy has been in the kitchen since at least the weekend, so not only did he connect the word ostrich with his toy, but he then remembered where he last had it! DH couldn't believe how he put it all together either. Every day he just amazes us :D They truly are sponges at this age!!!
Oh, and before I go, my friends little boy who they thought had cancer - DOESN'T!!!! He had bleeding in his muscle which lead to calcification and then bone tissue started growing in his muscle - ouch! Painful, but it's not cancer!!!! Wooohooooooooo!
-
Thats fantastic news on your friends boy Mel. And yep arent they big spuges and so cute...unless you have a little terror like mine at the moment, but cute all the same. Hey I just noticed your ticker and your 18 weeks already! Wow that went quick. When are you having your scan and will you be finding out what it is??? How exciting!
Kris- yep your weekends are so much fun. I wish I knew someone who lives in the country so we could go and do stuff like that. Dhs grandparents have Maldon, but we havent been there in ages and theres no power, just a shack! Must get up there though when its a bit warmer. Oh and Kaz is happy to meet up, just got to organise a day and time. Hopefully she will jump on line:)
I wonder how kellie is going??? That will be me in 14 weeks....omg!
Took Olivia to the allergy specialist for her review and hes happy with her progress. Got to stay off yeast. he doesnt think it will be life long but wont commit to how long!!! Now I just have to clear up the rest of the mouth as its so dry. Also got to heal her war wounds which she keeps knocking and they bleed. terror is in bed early. Last night she was inconsolable and wouldnt stop crying for about an hour, even with hugs, rocking, putting her in our bed. I think it was because i just put her to bed and dh got home from work and went in to say goodnight and she wasnt asleep and wanted to see him. So we brought her out for a bit, but even then she was crying so hard she started coughing and gagging. It upset me so much. I gave her some panadol and within 5 minutes she was asleep!! So she slept from 9pm til 730am without coming in with us. But shes been grizzly all morning and throwing tantrums. So i popped her in bed at 1130 and she was asleep just before 12nooon. Good. Hopefully she will wake up in a better mood.
I'm not getting too much sleep at the moment with this little bub kicking all night. My belly has exploded. We still havent got names, but have a list. My fav - Kristen- isnt on there:( I put up a thread with them in the baby name section but havent got to talk to dh about them yet.
Anyway i have written too much:)
-
I've been wondering about Kel too. I wonder how Lil is going with her new little brother.
I can't believe you only have 14 weeks left Mel!!!! I still can't believe I'm pg, nevermind being 18 weeks already! I have my scan on Wednesday, but we're not finding out what we're having this time. Mind you, we weren't finding out with Ben, but he wanted us to know so he showed us :lol:
Ben has the WORST nappy rash at the moment :( I got mum to take him to the doc today it's that bad. Poor little guy is walking around like he just got off a horse :( He won't sit at all, it's either lie down or stand :( I've got a list of things to try to heal it up, and I'm off tomorrow so I'll be able to let him run around bear-bummed before we head off. It's awful, bleeding and blisters. Poor bubba. All related to teething.
-
have fun with your scan. thats funny ben showed you what he was!!! And ouch on the nappy rash. Its so hard to try and heal them in the freezing cold, trying to get it warm enough to take the nappy off and then cleaning up after them. Good luck.
Olivia did a poo in the bath last night!! It was so funny, she was squatting and just looked at me and did a big fart!! And out it came. if i had a quicker reaction time I probably would have been able to catch it in the jug!! Oh well, we just cleaned it up and she ended up showering with me!!!!
I have my physio appointment today. Hopefully I can get some exercises to do for these crappy pvm.
Olivia is at FDC so I need to go clean and clean before she comes home. Have a great day:)

Hi girls,
Sorry I've been mia, things have been a little crazy here! Liam is lovely, though seems to have Lils aversion to sleep. Particularly at night. I have averaged about 4hrs broken sleep for the last few nights. Lily has been really good with Liam. She's very fascinated with him and gives him very gentle kisses and cuddles, it's sooo sweet. It made me cry the first time she did it I was so proud of her, even DH had a tear in his eyes! She does get jealous and is stand offish with me if I have him in my arms, which has been most of the time. She's still unsure of me with him, kwim??
She's been sick again with another ear infection and cold, very bad timing. We have to take her to the specialist to see about her ears.
Sorry for no personals, I haven't had time to catch up at all. And it will be a bit of a struggle to get on all that regularly, but I will try! I hope you are all well.
