OMG Kristie, congratulations to you, DH, Louis, Dylan and welcome to the world lil Ethan.
Wowowowow! A couple of days off and look what I miss!
CONGRATULATIONS KRIS AND WELCOME LITTLE ETHAN!
Good on you on avoiding the epidural again and pushing him out in five mins - well done!!! Home already? That's what I'm hoping to do too. Wow. Big congrats to you!!!! How's Dylan handling the new arrival?
OOOh I just had a bloody show........please be my turn soon:)
Nothing is happening though, bubs is still squirming around. No pains, just a little nervous on my part....remembering Olivias birth!!! That wasnt too traumatic. Hopefully this one is quick. Geez shes gooing mental in my tummy, having a real good move.
Will let you know progress:)
Ooooh, exciting Mel!!! One of the girls in my belly buddy group just had her little man - almost three months early!!!!
Keep us updated :)
Oh yeah I saw that mel- how exciting. I should go for a sleep nut am a little anxious...just waiting. Knowing my luck, it will be a few weeks away!!!
I'm still here...doh!!!!
with Olivia I had her the next day after loosing my plug...how long do you think I will have to wait??? Oh I'm getting impatient/nervous/excited.
Better go...Olivias having issues with shoes!!!!
Hi!
Just a quick one from me...as you can imagine I don't have much time for anything at the moment! LOL!
Ethans going really well though and is feeding and sleeping quite well...his unsettled time is overnight though at the moment so haven't been getting much sleep...hopefully that will settle soon! Dh is home though and being a huge help!
The boys are going well and are very excited to have a baby brother...They haven't had much time with him as he's usually feeding/sleeping so it's always exciting when he's up and they can get in his face - LOL!
Mel - Good luck - hope bubs arrives somewhat soon for you!
Hi to eveyrone else - sorry I don't have time for personals...will endeavour to keep up as best I can! Hope you're all well!
Chat later!
Mel, that's exciting your body is getting ready for bubs arrival, Ihate to be a dampener on things, but I lost my plug for weeks, both times. Not just little bits, big yucky bits and sometimes bloody. My doula said it replenishes so you can lose it for a while....sorry!! I hope she comes soon for you though.
Kris, I can't believe you've got it together enough to be posting at all, never mind personals! Glad to hear things are good.
Mel, I'm sorry you are still around :lol: Take Liv to the park and run around after her for a while - that might get things moving :)
Kris, you're a champ finding time to come online to talk to us all with three young boys - including a very new newborn! Glad to hear all is going well.
Kel, I can't believe Liam is almost three months old?!?! Where has the time gone?
I'm doing much better today. Had a bad day yesterday with my back playing up, but today is much better. Bub hasn't tried to escape too much which makes a difference too. He/she is having a quieter day. I also got a lovely big send-off to work from Ben with lots and lots of kisses and cuddles and then blown kisses and waves. Some days I'm lucky to get one, but today he was feeling extra smoochy! :)
Hey Kristie- glad to hear things are ok. He looks beautiful. Hope he settles through the night for you real soon.
Kel- really??? Oh no! Well I actually havent had much at all in the plug department today and have just got lower back pain, so am thinking yes it might be a few more weeks. Oh well, what do you do hey!
Mel- glad your day is better. Hope youre back doesnt play up too much. Isnt it cute when they give you loads of lovin!!!
Hi!
Have JenSam or Kaz been on for a while?? Seems quiet in here...
Not much from me...just busy with the boys! All going well though...Ethans still basically sleeping with me overnight but in his basinette through the day...he's a very placid little thing and often the older 2 are keeping us more busy than he is! LOL!
Off to bed after his next feed...I'm sooo tired and after doing food shopping and tidying up today my body aches...overdone I think! Chat later...
OMG. you went food shopping at 4 days old? omg. Omg.
Mel - goodluck! I never had a show :(
Us - well nothing compared to you guys! Only thing really is that we finally started 5-days/week childcare, (thank god not ABC) so I'm now fully full-time @ work. Somehow he knew on Monday, and cried when I left him. But we've been makign and effort for "quality time" which means I'm not getting housework done. Doh.
Dream pretty all.
Kaz, bugger the housework. It'll wait for you forever - unfortunately. DH and I just made sure we had dishes done, food cooked and clothes cleaned and the rest could all wait for a quick cleanup each weekend. Otherwise you will be totally buggered working full time as well.
Kris, I really am starting to think that you are Superwoman?!?! Cleaning up and grocery shopping with Liam only being 4 days old?!?! Superwoman or a crazy woman ;) :lol: No wonder you were knackered! Glad you got a placid bub - let's hope it stays that way.
Mel, it really could be anytime. I'm worried because I'm convinced this bub is coming early by at least a week. I'm actually predicing an arrival on Jan 12th, even though I'm not due until the 23rd. Don't know why, but it's a strong feeling. Imagine if I go over?!?! I'll be going nuts!
I had a day off yesterday. I was so totally and utterly exhausted that it was impossible for me to do anything. I could barely get off the lounge. I think two days at work in a row is my limit so I'm going to make sure I only do that for the next few weeks. I have next Friday off, so I guess next week I'll only be working three days - woohoo! Then it's onto my final week. Wow. Not so bad after all. I'm really going to miss the full pays though :(
Ben has been good most of the time, but he's started throwing tantrums. They are the most bizarre things!!! He will either put his head on the floor (very funny when he's standing with his bottom in the air) or go over to a wall or something and headbutt it! Strange child! If you are holding him, he'll grab hold of his face. I have a great big scratch from one on Tuesday night - little bugger! Luckily, he only chucks them when he's super-tired, so only a couple a week, but they're not fun :( I guess I can't complain too much though, they only last about 30 seconds....I've seen some of the bubs from Mothers Group and I'd go mental if I had to put up with some of those! I know I use to throw whoppers when I was a kid, so I'm glad he hasn't inherited that!!!!
Hi girls,
I have tried to start this post so many times over the past few days and every time I have been interrupted by one or the other baby! DH has token them out for a quick walk (yay!) so I have some time to do it....mind you I should be packing away the blocks strewn across the floor or preparing dinner, but eh, what can you do, LOL!!!
Kris glad to hear you are well. I found that Lil kept me busier than Liam in the first few weeks too, though now they are about the same! And I hope you are resting, you did just give birth you know! Normally you'd still be in hosy til day 3 or 4!
Kaz, I hope pip has settled again. They are such sensitive little things aren't they, and sense everything we feel. Lily does with me too. I hope working full time is going well too. I dread when I have to go back full time, hopefully it won't be for a long time!
DG, I was feeling really tired at the end of my pg with Liam too. I really felt it with him. I think cause he was so huge and I was so unfit and overweight (still am, LOL!!). It's great that you can relax though. You won't be soon, LOL!
You're lucky that Ben is only just starting to throw tantys, Lil's been doing them for ages! Little miss that she is. She's starting to smack me too....not that I smack her often, but I do occaisionally and well, now I see why I never wanted to! Monkey see, monkey do....:rolleyes: Terrible twos here we come.....oh god can she get worse???????
Hi Jen, and anyone else I've missed.....
Us we've been ok. I have had a few bad days, just feeling bleugh. A bit down in the dumps and really unmotivated and kinda stretched, iykwim. But there have been good days too and the kids are pretty good. Though as I said, Lil feels when I'm not feeling good and acts accordingly, ie, bratty! Nothing too interesting going on. I'm yet to get Lil's (or Liam's!) immunisations done. Though I'm not worried about Lily's cause it's her last ones for ages, so there's time to recover, etc, but Liam's I HAVE to do soon!
Ok, gonna go and be domestic....I hope everyone else is well!
Hey All,
Kel- you sound like youre doing well. Good you have a spare moment to yourself.
Dis- yep I am absolutely buggered and over it.
Sorry this post is not very good...am out the back and Olivia has just climbed up the slide...slipped down and I just ran...shes ok..me, well thats a different story. My feet are swollen and I am still getting pains at night, so ot sleeping.
olivia is now playing with the laptop so will leave it there, take care all
love melissa
oh dear Mel, are you OK?
Kel - Pip has the same kind of tanties. We had a beauty at the Zoo, full on lying on stomach and kicking!
:rofl: Pip is walking around the room with a dog bowl as a shoe. Now he's brought the esky into the living room and is sittiing on it! He's also having a conversation with DH but I can't undertand either of them! Although the words eye-ore seem to play a large part!
night all
Lol Kaz- yep, just not too good at running at the moment!!!! We only just got the swing set last week and she climbs up both ways...no wonder I am going grey!!!
Olivia was in the dog bowl too this evening. She puts the food bowl in and then her bath toys...yuck and then splashes the water all over her. She was soggy. So i ran a bath for her and i, which was lovely, except the fact shes interested in my "giny" and "boobies" and tries to poke at them!!! Then she was climbing over my belly. then I couldnt get out of the bath coz I am so huge. Its hilerious.
Anyway I hope I get a better sleep tonight, but am having those pains again already.....come baby come!!!
LOL Mel, oh the memories!!! :hug: I know how you feel. Lily likes my 'oobies' too especially since I've been bfing Liam. And she likes to hold Liam and 'bf' him now too. It is too too cute! She puuls her top up and holds her hands out to hold him with her top under her chin. Ugh, I could eat her sometimes!
