Hello all!!

Yay Sasha thats great - woohoo!!!!

MT - don't you HATE that!!!! We were at the beach yesterday, and while we didnt' have an explosion - DS went into the water with his itti bitti on.. I nearly cried... it was so full of salt water and sand... boohoo!!!!

MM - ok... you can move up this way then.. LOL

Kel, Leasha - are you guys coming to Pioneer Park anytime soon? I do need to get out of the house I think....

Squidipa - YOU SHOULD COME TOO... lol... its easy to find

We *think* that DD may have the measles... she has some of the symptoms - and I googled it last night and the rash looked the same on the net as the one on her face Rang the after hours doc - and they didn't show up - even though they called us at 3.30 and said that they were going to come over.. pffft.. typical...

But - she had her last feed at 7.30pm - and then woke up around 3ish... I was so exhausted I shoved the dummy in her mouth - and she woke up at 5am!!!! woohoo!!!! I feel quite good this morning (even though didn't get to bed till late cos one of the dogs had a paralysis tick and had to go to the doggy ER last night - and is still there.. )

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!!

[squidipa]

Wow i think its great all these babies are sleeping, we got josh down for good just before 9 last night and up at 5am woohooo. altho his 3.30 period is his stropy time.

he is asleep in his swing right now. Should be a nice day got washing and abit of tiding might do our room or hubbie will and then pool then go get take out for tea

[MummyTummy]

Oh Mel! You sound like you had one hell of a night! Poor M, where would she have got the measles from? Poor thing - I can't believe the doc didn't turn up after saying they would. Especially for such a young baby, what if it was more serious?

And then having to take your poor doggy to ER for a tick. Sounds nasty, we are lucky we don't have them down here but I know I would be distraught if any of my pets ended up with them. Get well soon doggy!

And itti bittis in the salty water! I hope it washes up alright. Although I can't imagine the sand will be easy to get out.

It was one of our itti bittis that Jett did his explodey poo in. It matched his outfit and everything and I had only just put it on... so disappointing - he had to put on a sposie after that!

Hey folks
Hope you're all having a great weekend. We are having a good one - party last night, DD was well behaved and then slept from midnight till 6 am! woohoo! even better because yesterday she was starving and feeding every two hours. My BB's have gone soft and I'm wondering if the left one is producing much cause she thrashes on that one something terrible. Do you think expressing from that side between feeds will help build it up?
Today I went for a big (10k) walk with the PILs and DD in the pram. it was really good and I realised it's not too far to walk to the outlet centre at Birkenhead point - so shopping for me next week I think!
Squiddy - happy anniversary! sounds like your DH got you beautiful things!
Yay for the big sleeps Sash & Beema
Bummer about the poo Mummy Tummy!
Mel - mwah! hope it's not the measles, but get it checked out for sure.
CM4E, MM, kel, Leash and everyone else hope you're not posting cause you're too busy having a great weekend!

[Arimeh]

Do you think expressing from that side between feeds will help build it up?

Pixie chick - one word - yep.

MT - my kids always seem to do their ***** in the itti bittis.... I haven't had an explosion though - I put them on REALLY tight though.. lol... and we are probably taking DD to the docs tomorrow - not much you can do about it anyway.... so it can wait till tomorrow...

[mountain mummy]

Mel - sounds like you had a yucky night! Poor M and poor doggy One of my cats has a habit of getting tapeworm, but she is always catching and eating field mice (even with a lame foot!! LOL!) and I think that's where she gets it from, cause none of the others do that, and it can't be from fleas! We have 5 cats total and DD "really wants a puppy right now" she informed me last night!

Yay for all the mummies and bubs having good night sleeps!!

Pixie - I'm with Mel, I reckon expressing between feeds will increase your milk supply!

Squidipa - Happy anniversary hun!!

As for the poo, Veygas has a tendency to poo right after I take his nappy off!! Hopefully this is an indication that he will TT early!!

Anyways, must be off, the tribe are needing to be fed!

to everyone!

[squidipa]

It was one of our itti bittis that Jett did his explodey poo in. It matched his outfit and everything and I had only just put it on... so disappointing - he had to put on a sposie after that!

We *think* that DD may have the measles...
I feel quite good this morning (even though didn't get to bed till late cos one of the dogs had a paralysis tick and had to go to the doggy ER last night - and is still there.. )

Sorry for the delay, i guess i was to exited over my new ring hehe, Is your DD any better got a diagonis yet??? hows the dog back home with you now i hope?

[Arimeh]

Congrats about your ring- I think I was distracted too cos i didn't congratulate you !!!

And no, got no diagnosis yet. Hopefully will get a chance to take her to the doc tomorrow - hard with only one car though.

Dog is still in the doggy hospital - hopefully we get to pick him up tomorrow - the latest update this afternoon was that he still couldn't get up..

[squidipa]

Gudism so do you know its a tick??? i mean that your dog has one? sounds scary are you worried?

[Arimeh]

Squidipa - yeah DH pulled the tick out of him last night - nice big adult engorged one.. nice!! Hopefully he will be right to be picked up from the ER tomorrow morning..

[squidipa]

Gudism....did it paralyze the dog or some thing forgive my stupidity but i don't have a dog and havnt really had one growing up either


hey question for you all whom have had c sections how many have you had? me ive had 3 of them

[Arimeh]

Squidipa - he can't move his back legs properly - like he's all wobbly - but is expected to make a full recovery... fingers crossed!!!!

I've had 2 sections now..

[*Beema*]

Evening, just noticed that there are some new smilies

Beautiful ring Squidipa, SH was going to give me an eternity ring when N was born, but didn't end up happening cos she arrived before he had it organised..... D'Oh!!!

We *think* that DD may have the measles... she has some of the symptoms - and I googled it last night and the rash looked the same on the net as the one on her face Rang the after hours doc - and they didn't show up - even though they called us at 3.30 and said that they were going to come over.. pffft.. typical...

Gee I hope not, and hope you get to the dr tomorrow.

As for the poo, Veygas has a tendency to poo right after I take his nappy off!! Hopefully this is an indication that he will TT early!!

He he, N seems to be doing them when I put a new nappy on.....

It was one of our itti bittis that Jett did his explodey poo in. It matched his outfit and everything and I had only just put it on... so disappointing - he had to put on a sposie after that!

so sorry about your pants though, what we get used to as mums, chuck, wizz, poo it doesn't matter!!!

Do you think expressing from that side between feeds will help build it up?

Yep, the other thing I have been doing is actually starting N on the "crappy" side first, two feeds in a row, then the other side for one feed and back to the double again, have found the my RHS is actually improving. Also drinking a lot of Aktavite!!!

Kye slept from 7:30pm through till 1:45am...woohoo

that is awesome!!!

I did the dream feed last night, fed and in bed by 7:30, left friends house about 10:30, N slept, got home got everything sorted out she was still sleeping, hooked her on my boob and she fed, then the other side, plus a top up of formula, small burp and back to bed, she woke at 2:30am gave her the dummie, back to sleep, then woke at 4:30am for a feed. So going to try it again tonight, about 10pm, then I will go to sleep myself!

Feeling really sleepy, been a long day. Went to the markets this morning got lots of tasty vegies, won a couple of auctions on ebay, 2 Pumpkin Patch suits for 99c plus postage and a Bebe suit for summer, won a few other things which will get us through summer I think.... will jsut have to judge who quickly little miss is going to grow!
This arvo MIL took N for a walk, so I got some work and invoicing done, she also did the ironing ( not a lot to be done, but was lovely), she also put together a leek and potato soup, and left to simmer before heading back to the country. I finished if off after putting N down at 7:30, then cooked up some scotch fillet and vegies with a Dianne sauce for DH, and a chicken and vegetable mornay for me, mostly to have for lunches with the soup this week. Just gotta empty the dishwasher, and refill, wipe the other dishes, a couple of changes to my invoices and send them off - yay money!! And it is great that all the jobs are up to date especially as I am off to work again tomorrow, I have to decide what to take for N to sleep in the pram or rocker... hard decision!!

Have a great night, looking forward to hitting my pillow, just have to sort this dishes and work out how to store the massive bowl of soup I have!!

[squidipa]

Beautiful ring Squidipa, SH was going to give me an eternity ring when N was born, but didn't end up happening cos she arrived before he had it organised..... D'Oh!!!

its nice not an eternity ring tho hehe i got a limited edition custom made diamond cluster ring worth a couple of grand for our 1 year anniversary this year a ruby diamond ring. If we had a girl we were going to name her "ruby rose". So a ruby ring is nice has meaning. The eternity ring is still to come haha

We are in talks of more kids yes u read right having more kids.

thats great that N is sleeping beema joshie slept from 8 til 4 then dummie till 5 certainly feel more refreshed i do

Kel... bubbles has been behaving the last few days hasnt got into stuff yay we are winning the battle. Hows your chart going for Cadance?

[squidipa]

yeah double posting here...

2 considering factors of more kids

1, can my body handle it. can i have more c sections..BTW i don't feel 9 months is enough to say no to forever.

2, How much harder will it be finding rental properties heaps harder wish we had enough cash to buy a home out right! ya got to think about these ting ya need a roof ova ya head.

As for money well we wont get any more but i know i could make it work i am very good with our money. The laughs and giggles jokes and unique humorous talents of all the kids are so wonderful i love it i couldnt ever imagine really not having the kids live with us i would feel alone.

other points i am, considering is this

am i wanting more kids only because my body is like a 50 year old and i am nearly all tick tocked out? I don't want regrets. Before having this knowledge at age 21 i had always dreampt of bigger is better as many kids as i could have is what i wanted, at least 5. hopeing on round 8 or more. Maybe ill go through menopause this year i don't know that scares me it blinkin scares the crapper out of me one day it will all be slowly being taken away ill, have no choice or control.

I also think wait till josh hits all his mile stone markers before deciding just encase of anything. I don't even know if he is slightly deaf or not at all or completely deaf yet! I dunno why but i am so protectively concerned over his well being and mile stones.

oh and these 12 kilo have gotta go first! only 9 of pregnancy weight tho.
thoughts anyone are i crazy???

[MummyTummy]

Good morning all! I hope you all had a great weekend. I didn't get nearly enough sleep, and it wasn't even Jett's fault. So today I am planning on doing nothing! Just veging out!

Squidipa - Happy 2nd year anniversary and congratulations on the ring. Your Mr Squidipa really spoils you! Oh and I have had one c-sect hehe!!

Vic - DH was going to give me an eternity ring when Jett was born too.... hmmm.... still waiting! Maybe for our 3rd year anniversary in Nov??? Glad to hear that you BF woes are clearing up too.

Arimeh - My IB nappy was on as tight as we can get them, but I just think the force of the blast was just too strong! Also being a fairly new nappy I don't think it could absorb anything quick enough. I hope your doggy (does doggy have a name?) is feeling better now and I hope your DD is too! Let us know how you get on at the docs.

Ok, little man has just woken up crying....I've never seen that before! Better go check on him

[Arimeh]

MT - yup doggy has a name - Keenan. Vet said he might need another dose of serum cos he's still not well. Is going to assess him later on today and let us know. Yay.. another $600!!!

Squidipa - I know I definitely want another child and I've told Craig that maybe 4 isn't out of the question.. lol... I'm getting older too and i wanted all my kids by the time I was 33 - so I'll have time for one more I think... maybe I'll get twins.. LOL

Well I took DD to the docs this morning - we rocked up without an appointment - just went in as soon as they opened. They are really good there though. So the diagnosis is that it is something viral, not sure WHAT - they ruled out measles because she doesn't have a temp, even though the rash looks like it, and she has all the other symptoms except for the high temp. So who knows whats wrong with her.

Hmm.. Aricyn just got whacked in the head.. yup.. crying.. gotta go!!!!!

Dont ya just hate it when the drs don't know any more than you i do !!
