How are you all today? I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!
Well, we had a great weekend. Yesterday we went to Gosford (1 1/2hrs drive away), where they had a show/fair thingy on. It was really good. The kids went on some little rides and ate junk and just had a ball! We then went to see my dad who lives up there too. He adores my kids and had them in hysterics chasing them around and tickling them. I love to watch him with them! THEN we went to sizzlers for dinner on the way home. I ate waaayyyy too much junk and food in general, especially considering I am trying to lose weight (yes again...or still??!!!).
Today I am trying to clean in preparation for moving, doing the bigger stuff like pulling the light fittings down and washing vertical blinds! Such a drag but it has to be done. None of it has been done for at least 3yrs! I used to do it regularly, but since the kids were born, I do the minimum for the place to be clean and clutter free and that's it!!
This is my second week as a SAHM again, and it feels kinda strange knowing that this will be my life for a few years, lol! When I was at home before on mat leave I knew the time would be short and limited. With Lil I had 8mths off and with Liam only 5mths before going back to work. So this time knowing that although the time is limited, it will be a long time before I have to go back to work. I'm going to go down to the library to find out when the kids reading session is on so we have at least one thing to do for the next few weeks, lol! DH is off work for the next few weeks until we move too because they didn't want to roster him on for half a roster and then we move. So he's here to keep us occupied a bit too (and to drive me batty!).
The kids have just gotten over a cold,they have been a bit miserable, very snotty, watery eyes and croaky voiced. And Liam is teething. I checked his mouth this morning (I try not to do it too often, he usually bites me these days, lol!) and he's got one of his 2yr molars coming up. No wonder he's been a little s@#!. And I hear you all on the tantys too. Liam is a master!
Wow you girls who are ready to pop, that time seems to have flown to me!! I'm sure it hasn't for you tho!! LOL. Try not to stress about being a mumma to two. I freaked a bit as well when Liam was born and having Lil. They are only 16mth apart and I was panicking how I would parent two babies. But is was ok. I had tough times don't get me wrong, but now lookign back, I wouldnt change it at all. They are best friends and I love watching them together.
Sunshine, Liam talks a fair bit, but only stuff DH and I can understand really. But he know's what he's saying and says alot, as in he says the same sounds when he wants cartain things, kwim? He says Where, mum, dad, bath, bap (his blankie), more, go out, outside, Bella (my mums dog), Ash (his cousin), no, yeah, drink, stop, don't touch.....clearly enough for other people to understand tho. But he talks all day, he hears Lily talk non stop ALLLLL day (seriously, most days I ask he to stop talking at some stage of the day!!) so he's constantly babbling over the top of her. Drives me batty!! LOL!
Well, I'm should do something practical while the monkeys sleep.....have a marvellous day ladies
Well, I have some very exciting new...I'm pg!! We are expecting #3 in late Jan 2011. So far things are ok, a few fairly mild symptoms, ravenous between about 9am-1pm then no appetite after 5pm (but not really nausia), heartburn (already!!), tiredness, a bit moody and teary. And that's about it, but I am only just pg, about 5ish weeks.
The kids are going well. Liam is getting his molars still and we are having days of terrible temper tantys and sleepless nights. He's also had an infection in his penis, poor little man! He's on antibiotics for it for the first time ever!! The stupid doctor we saw was such an idiot. We had to go to the medical centre because our family doctor wasn't open. My god, I could have done what he did! He didn't even want to look at DS. He was willing to just take me on my word and what I described to him and then send us on our way! I insisted he have a look to be sure. I don't have much faith in the idiot. I do have faith in my mummy instincts though and I know he needed antibiotics, which he got. Then the dr told us to get him circumsised because he's had one infection!!!! I explained that he'd been in a pooey nappy the day before for quite a while (it didn't smell and we didn't know he was dirty!) so I think that's what has caused it. He said we should get him cut anyway...Not that I have anything against it, I just have never seen this stupid doctor, he doesn't know us from a bar of soap, and he is telling me to go and give my son an unneccessary medical procedure based on one minor infection!Bloody moron! Sorry rant over, lol!
Other than that they kids are really good. I'm loving being at home with the all day and can't wait to move (9 days to go!! Woohoo!!!) and get ourselves into a playgroup and swimming lessons and all of that stuff!
Ok I'm going to go and do some stuff because DH has taken the kids to the shops and is giving me a few hours for myself!! I hope everyone is well
Thats the best news! If only we had timed things better LOL. Ill have to pop into your group and say hello. I am likely to have bubs in December tho! I hope, god every now and then i have this thought of what if i go to 42 weeks, thats 6 weeks longer than Evie. Your symptoms sound just like mine. I am starving ALL day then bamb cooking dinner for the kids and i cant eat a thing! Not feeling that sick just that sea sick sort of a feeling in the background. Nipples kill when i get into the shower i know TMI LOL.
Hope all goes well with the move, so glad that DH work pays for the move and movers, you still will be very tired! Remember you can take months to unpack, LOL its been 6 weeks here and there are still boxes in the garage!
Poor Liam and his little man! Hope the AB do the job. The infection could have been caused by anything. Tom has a love affair with his! Silly Dr to even bring something like that up! I think that there are still some Drs out there that think that people that dont do the snipe are lazy and just forgot to get it done. The medical indecations for the snipe are infection but recurrent and before the age of 1!
Cant wait to hear more about the pregnancy and the move! Take care of yourself!
I know I've already said it but a BIG congrats Kel on the pg!!!
I've wondered if we are getting 2 year molars here too. We have had many sleepless nights, disgusting nappies, red cheeks and temps. Take it as it comes.
Jorja is starting to use a few more words that we can understand which is good.
Other than that, nothing else much happening here. Just waiting for this new bubba to arrive
Hope you are all well. x
Congratulations Kel!! That's awesome news! And good luck with the house move! I second what Millie said, take your time with unpacking. We have been here almost 6 months and still have some boxes in the garage! =)
Millie, I hope your pregnancy is going smoothly!
AFM I am with Sunshine just waiting for some action! Fingers crossed that it happens soon! I am over the insomnia, and when I do get to sleep waking with heartburn and needing to pee! I swear I will get more sleep with a newborn!!
Milly, lol a few weeks out of sync aren't we!! Your bub will have to come a fwekk or so late and mine a week or so early, then we can be baby buddies again, hehe!!!
How are you going with BF? Is Tom still feeding. Liam is but not as much, and only when I offer it to him which is bed time and in the morning when he wakes, rather than asking me for it a few times like he was. Good and bad in a way. If he weans, it will be good because then he did it on his own, but I still don't want him to wean just yet!!! I was planning on it when he turned 2 though. I think my supply is WAYYY down. I don't hear him swallow like he used to and he will only suckle for a little while, 5 mins each boob if I'm lucky. Even at his bed time feed. And his morning feed is on the way out I think. 2 days he ahs refused to feed and just wanted to get up, which sucks cause that means it's 5am when we get up rather than 5.30, lol!!
Yep, I'm glad we don't have to pack everything! I am struggling just cleaning everything to rent our place out, let alone having to try to pack too. MInd you we only live in a 2 br 2 bth unit. So not that much to clean, lol! I'm just soo tired! I fell asleep with Liam at 7.30 last night. I was supposed to start scrubbing tiles and stuff last night....oh well, looks like it wll have to happen today!
Liam's penis is ok now. The AB's kicked in straight away thankfully, it looked so sore, and he was so brave with me poking it, lol! And I have nothing against people who give their boys' circumcisions, it's just not for my family and my little man. Unless he starts getting chronic infections all of a sudden, then I would consider it, but not for one infection. It was the first thing the doc said as soon as I said Li had an infection, he didn't even look at it, just said get a circumcision! GRRRRRR!!!! There are some idiotic doctors out there. Just because they're doctors the think they know best!
Jen, thanks!! Gosh, you must be so eager to have you bubby now! I hate late pg, but the results are worth it!!
With the molars they can take ages to come up. She might show symptoms for a while, but they won't pop out for ages. Liam has been teething with his since at least about chrissy time. They've been moving and causing him issues, but only now have they popped out, and only the bottom two. and only the front two tips of them, not the whole tooth.
Erin, lol, so not looking forwards to the heart burn...I already have been getting it a bit, yuck!! I get it really badly in pg. And the sleeplessness, well, I don't get much as it is so I don't think I will be losing out! At least a newborn won't be too much of a shock for me we it comes!
Good luck with your births Jen and Erin! I will be watching for your announcements in the next few weeks!!!!
Well, just dropping in quickly to let you all know that I won't be around for a few weeks. We are moving tomorrow and the net gets disconnected tomorrow. It will take at least a week for us to get reconnected, if not more.
Hope you all stay well and the kidlets are all good for you (and for those of you waiting for babbas to come, good luck with your births, wish I could be here to share with you, but I'm thinking 2-3weeks might be a bit too long, lol!)!! I am absolutely buggered and so need to rest but so can't! Just having a coffee to recharge now. We still have sooo mcuh to do! Moving is not fun with little kids. Mine have been in front of the electronic babysitter all day and I'm feeling like a horrible mummy! They are so bored and I'm over telling them to get out of the boxes, not to touch the freshly painted walls or the clothes and stuff waiting to go into the boxes, they're just annoying the $h!t out of each other plus I dont think Liam is 100% well....arrrggghhhh!!!! THe last thing I need is a sick kid!
Cant wait til tomorrow arvo rocks around, then it will all be over, furniture on the truck and unit cleaned for some tennants to rent it out! It's a 9hr drive out to our new home. We might just drive to the Blue mountains (about 1hr away, 1 1/2 in traffic!!) tomorrow and stay there, then go to Dubbo on Tuesday and onto Cobar Wednesday. Our furniture won't be there til Wednesday so we can take our time.
Ok, ladies, I really should go! Can't be sitting on my tooshy surfin the net while the hubby paints can I??!! Well, I think it will be a week or 3 util I 'see' you all so take care!
Hi Kellie Glad the move went well & you're enjoying your big place!!! I'm very jealous!
Tobias is still not talking... still just "mumma" but he's trying to say Brianna, especially when I say "call out to Brianna" & he puts his hands up to his mouth to shout & shouts "Maa Maaa" but it kinda sounds a bit like "Brianna" so he's trying
I've been around but not really feeling up to posting. Going through a bit of a tough personal life crisis atm & it stresses me to the max. I'm thinking of moving to Forster BEFORE my lease ends for a number of reasons but one reason being how tiny this granny flat is for the amount of money I'm paying... not only the money but its too cramped with 2 young kids running around. I only moved back to Syd 8 months ago *sigh* dont really want to move again but will have to eventually anyway.
Hi Kel! Yes im around! We are all good. Im just stuffed all the time! Went to bed at 7pm last night, how sad is my life! LOL. Kids all well after getting over their colds. DH away now for a week Ahhhhh.
Hi Danielle: Sorry you are still going thru some stuff, i am keeping upto date in you other posts. We use to live in Taree, Forster is a lovely place and i have friends still there so i could hook you up? Hopefully the right solution for you and the kids will come up soon!
How is everyone else?
Erins and Jens bubbas are here now! Our turn now Kel!.....Oh some days i think its going to be YEARS away!
Hi Milly, my scan was for pancreatitis but it looks like its passed & is ok now (hope it doesnt come back... it was terrible!)
Tobias has his operation tomorrow to get the gromits in both ears 7am. Thanks for asking xxx Hope all is going well with u, going to bed at 7pm is great, do it while u still can!
Kel I hope things are getting better for you hun, ur on my mind, I wish I was closer
Oh i bet thats wasnt nice and yes i hope that it never comes back Danielle! Maybe too much chocolate LOL?
Good luck to mr T tomorrow im sure he will be fine and i cant wait for you to say that you are going nuts with how much he is talking! Let us know how it all goes!
**cut and pasted from my april bb thread!! I'm too lazy, lol!**
Hi all,
Well I am feeling MUCH better after an absolutely fantastic night sleep. Damien took the kids all night and slept with them in their room so I could sleep by myself and my god I feel good for it! I feel like normal again!
I have a doctors appt soon (and will have to get ready in a mo!) to get results from bloods and u/s, though the u/s tech guy told me all was well with bubs when I had the u/s over a week ago. I will be going for my 12wk u/s soon, yay! I'm in two minds as to whether time is flying or dragging for me with this pg, lol! Some days I feel like 'I'm 10weeks already??' some days its like I'm only 10 weeks I feel like I should be 30!'. Damien, the kids and I went to Dubbo yesterday so I could get some mat clothes. Mine are getting a tad tight! I am huge already I look like I'm about 6mths pg! I think it's because I'm (tmi!) constipated and my tummy muscles are absolutely shot. Thye are so weak and I just can't hold it all in like I usually do! In a way I can't wiat til bub comes so I can lose weight and get fit again. I'm feeling really horrible in my skin. Though I do like how I look when pg, just that at tehm mo I just look really fat! Well fatter than normal! I was rather disappointed witht he mat clothes choices out there. Even trusty old Big W had nothing out that I normally wear. I usually get a pair of Big W jeans and a few of their mat. yoga pants, but they had NOTHING. Not even the usual plain tops they have that I live in. I tried on a pair of pants that were ok looking and they were sooo small. Lily said to me, 'mummy you're too fat for them....really really too fat!' Thanks hunny thats one way to make mummy feel like crap! Then at PP, I tried a few pairs of jeans which were absolutely HUGE but the next size down didn't fit well. All I ended up getting was 3 tops. I didn't really need tops yet, mostly pants, but there was nothing! I might send some money to my mum and see if she can get me some staples to wear for now...ah well!
Ok ladies gotta go to the docs, I hope you all have a lovely day and I will try to catch up properly later
ETA:
Milly I would love to be you PIG!! And to have you as mine. What an honor not sure if I still have your number though.
Dan, big babe. The last thing you need is health issues at the moment. I hope everything is as ok as it can be. And don't worry about me babe. You need to think about yourself, you have enough on your plate! But I am humbled that you're thinking of me I think of you alot too sweety, and yep, like you wish I was closer now that I have time to be there for you! Sucks when I was closer I was working and had no time to do much, but now I don't have to work I'm soooo far away! But hey, you're always welcome to come out here for a break!! Trust me there's not much to do but nothing!!You will definately get a break out here, lol!
