Babies Born August 16th ~ 31st 2008 #2

Yeah when C was so irritable, another was the last thing i thought i wanted too. But now shes settled and really good.................well :P
My tummy is still a BIG issue though :? Im going to see a gastroenterologist on 5th feb cos its basically still as bad as it was when i was pregnant. Have a relaxing time at the Marriott.

Lea- C chucks heaps too but at least shes happy with it now. Cant take her anywhere without a bib on though and anytime she burps i do this quick manouvere with her in case she chucks all over my clothes. Gabby is on the same medication im on now, im on Losec too. Good shes stacking on the weight now :D The tummy tub goes up to about 10 kg it says but i guess it really depends on the baby, C still has heaps of room left in it now. They arent cheap though, i got mine off ebay cos they are a bit pricey.

Had to put C in the portacot last night :( It was so hot here and she was covered in heat rash, so needed to have a bed not so closed in on her. She was much more comfy in there and heat rash has settled now.

Well everyone have a good New Years :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :)

The farm stay was awesome will post pics & video on FB later :)

I hope everyone had a good NYE, chat soon

xxx

so no one answered why you would pay to join bb? has anyone?

also someone has asked to be my "friend" on bb? why do we do this?


had a great nye! everything was perfect and it was great to get away. fireworks were nice and kids were behaved!

feeling very lucky/blessed at the moment - life is good!

hey milly
have no idea about paying for Bb or friends...sorry

lea - why cant i send you a private message when i click your name? who is sconeonamission? thats who asked to be my friend and i dont know where i know them from?

thanks jenni!

Am I missing something....??

milly i think my PM box is full !! i will empty it ..
sconeonamission is my sister .. i dont know why she would want to be your friend (oops that sound mean ) maybe because i always say that you live near her ??

if you pay for an upgradge , you get acess to health pros , so you ca ask questions , a games arecade , you can sell in classifieds ... ummmm you get an avvy .. and lots of other stuff ...

i got s msrket place membership today !!! my "business" should be under my ticker soon !!!! yay !!

Gab is sooo cranky today .. grrr i hate reflux ....

oh and its always nice to have friends :lol: you get to add them to your BB profile and can cutomisise you own "about me" page .. if you havent already have a play in your control panel !!! theres loads of things to tinker with !!!!!

hay lea: i just remembered that i saw your sister in another post and saw she lived near me. It was me that wrote to her first, i just didnt remember her username! ooops, somedays its hard to rememeber that i use to be a normal person with a brain! LOL

I cant believe that is your sister...we really all should meet up soon!

Hi girls,
Things are going ok here.

Jorja has been a little grumpy and irratable and doing reallt strong wees...a trip to the dr might be due...maybe a UTI???? Have to go anyway and get her weight checked as she is losing weight and dropping percentiles. I've noticed that my milk supply isn't as good as it was so might have something to do with it. I'm trying this milk recipie thing i found on BB to increase milk supply...so sweet... but hey i'll keep trying I don't want to give up feeding yet.

I'm due to go back to work in 2 weeks. Only going back 3 days and Jorja will be in care for then but i'm still going to find it hard i think... :(
Going back to a new job as my employer now (the one i'm on mat leave with) has been horrible and i'm so angry and offended with how i've been treated I really don't want to go back. I'm actually looking forward to it a little too, they give me time to express etc so i can keep feeding (should the milk keep coming...)

Lea: Hope the reflux is getting better.

Milly: did you sort out the friend and paying member stuff??

Does anyone have a bumbo??? How long can you use them????

How was everyones new years???

poor Jorja .. take her to see a doc soon .. does she have nappy rash ?? try not to worry about her weight .. i hope she feels better soon ... what about teething ?? she could be grumpy coz of that ..

also how is she feeding ? is she settled after a feed ?? there are days Gab is sooo angry at my boobs .. i find if i stress my milk supply drops , and she just claws at them and cant get a let down ... even though she is a very frequent feeder ... she sucks the life out of them some times ...

millk , i agree ... it would be great to finally meet !!

I have a bumbo and Gab is in it alot .. she loves it and it can be used untill whenever ..some kids are behaved and dont crawl out of it and some kids crawl out of it ... i bought one when nix was 3 mths and he was out of it by 7 mths , but others use it as a feeding chair and take it everywhere ... i think its a good thing to have and they have great resell value !!

Hi girls,

just wanted to boast about my little man.....he is sooooo close to crawling! He's up on his hands and knees rocking back and forth and has face planted the carpet a few times trying to get moving! OMG, he is so cute!!!! And growing way too fast! Lily didnt crawl until she was about 7/8mths. Well that's it for now, just wanted to gloat! Well, if mummy doesn't who will???

WTG Liam!!!!

yay for liam .. nixon was like that and finally crawled at 5 mths ... wow babes are so different , gabs not even rolling around yet .. i dont think she can be bothered lol !!

LOL, LEa, maybe it's just boys?? Lily was rolling by now but nowhere near like Liam does, he rolls to get places! She was just rolling over from tum to back and back again, not moving. I could leave her in one spot and come back 5mins later and she'd still be there. With Liam I can't leave him anywhere he moves too fast already!

Kel " I cant believe that Lily is almost TWO, i remember when she turned 1 and that seems like only yesterday i was saying...just wait til she is 15months!

Thomas is a rolly man too. SO funny we have had to move him into his own room and big cot as he is just so big. i can remember that the girls were much much older before i would find them up the other end of the cot or with a leg sticking out LOL. Thomas only rolled for the first time on NYE but now rolls and gets up onto knees and elbows and trys to move...loads of face plants around here. I keep saying to DH we need to get bunks for the girls so there is some floor space in their room to play with small stuff as Tom already moves to get things to put in his mouth! He dribbles SO much it makes me sick LOL not teething just gross :)

MY baby starts school in 22 days.....not that im counting :(

Boys , the dont stop .. Nixon was up with the sparrows @ 4.30 am , when DH left to go to work he was watching tv .. i said , yea i'll be up in a minute ...

whoopsy .. it was 7 am when i got up :o he was playing with his train set .. I dreaded leaving the room because i didnt want to see what he had destroyed .. but everything was fine !! phew ..

he finally zonked at 11 am .. and so did gab .. but she cat naps .. so i had 20 mins to wolf down lunch before she fed again ..

2009 is the year for me to do some study .. I am soo excited , In Feb , i will be doing a CERT course in INFANT MASSAGE ... how cool is that ... I love massaging GAb and have done it since birth .. once im qulaified i can teach in mums groups, classes etc ... then after that i will do further study in NUtrition , so i can advise and promote healty eating , as im petrified that this world will turn in to the obese abyss , and its already becoming the generation of fat kids where they will die earlier than their parents ..

sounds odd to be worried about such thing , but food is soo important , and its just what im into :lol:

Hi everyone :)

Tobias had his 4 month immunisation yesterday & we spent most of the night awake. I ended up feeding him at 5am to help him settle, which worked a treat, thankfully went back to sleep until 9am. Brianna was up at 8am, she came in & gave me a 5 min cuddle then asked if I could make her some breakfast, she said "mummy can you please make me some breakfast, then you can go back to sleep" sooooooooooo sweet!! So I did, until 9 LOL
I also had Tobias weighed yesterday.... 7.3kg!!!! hahaha I was a little surprised but knew he'd had a few growth spurts recently. How much are the others weighing now? Everyone thinks Tobias is 6 or 7 months old :(

He's started say "golly golly golly" which is cute (my niece did this too) & sometimes he mimmicks what we say & makes a sound like "I love you" or "hello" he's not saying the words but makes the sound, I keep trying to get it on video but no luck so far!

Hows everyone been with the heat? We've mainly stayed inside.

We bought Tobias' baptism suit last night, he's getting baptised on the 17th Jan. It's sooooo cute! He looks very handsome in it :)

So quiet on this thread, hopefully everyones too busy enjoying their babies to post!!

how cute of tobias .. gab is blowing raspberries evet chance she gets lol

atm she is weighing in a 6.5 kgs .. shes a shorty and is still in 000's .. which is great as i i dont have many 00's ..

Gabs nose is running like a tap , and she spends the whole night coughing .. and choking .. not sure whats going on . but its makes life fun when im cleaning up snot and reflux..
I found a bottle teat that Gabriella will actually take EBM from its MAM brand and "anti colic" .. yeah right .. it was only NB teat and after she had the EBM . she had the worst hiccups and farts and pain ..

DH and I are going to the centerpoint tower resturant in sydney next month and we are going the fine dining option. rather than the buffet .. so we'd like to have some time to ourselves and not have to have Gab with us ..
my mum is coming down too and is my sis , her ds and DH .. we are going down for Top Gear show .. and were taking mum to be the baby sitter !! \

better go and look after my kids .. feed them and all that ... my house is a pigsty too !!

Lea dinner sounds lovely.. just you & DH. We've had dinner there a couple of times, it's yummy! (You're talking about the revolving restaurant aren't you?) Taking grandparents as babysitters is great, we're doing that for our trip to the Gold Coast in March, we're going for 2 weeks & PIL are going at the same time as us so they can watch the kids for us while we go on the "big rides" which will be great. We've also got interconnecting rooms so they will be able to watch the kids while we check out the night life, they always offer, they love watching the kids... makes life easier for us (so handy!!)

Enjoy your trip to Sydney. Let me know if you want to catch up for a coffee (Max Brenner at Manly Wharf is a MUST LOL, just a ferry trip across the harbour), it would be lovely to meet :) (Only if you have spare time of course, you're prob all booked up for time!)

Hi All...
I was getting so excited... Jorja slept through the night before last... then last night she made up for it by waking every 30-40mins... Think shes had tummy pains going on...
Haven't weighed her for a few wks...but i'd say about 6.5kgs???? Still having trouble getting milk supply up so i'm beginging to face the fact i will have to go to formula :(
Shes been having lots of floor time since i hurt my neck... just can't lift her without it hurting like crazy!
Lots of rasberry blowing going on here too.
I'm back to work on the 19th :( for 3 days a wk. She seems pretty happy with her daycare mum though. I DON"T WANT TO LEAVE HER YET!!!!


I've got her in 00's and some 0's just so the MCN will fit ok with what she's wearing.

lea - no nappy rash, still unsettled after feeding and i don't feel full at all. Will see how things go.

danielle - hope the baptism goes well.

xx

Feeling a little hormonal at the moment... just had an OMG moment..thought i'd share.

DF is out for the night so it's just Jorja and I at home tonight. I went to put Jorja into her bed and found myself standing next to her cot with tears running down my face, watchign her laying there sleeping thinking to myself how lucky I am to have such a beautiful angel in my life. How can one little person bring about all these feelings of joy, excitement and an overhwelming feeling of love?? I could never imagine my life without my "beautiful angel girl" and can't understand how there are some people in the world who have babies and not give them all the love in the world.
Being so close to my pop who passed away more than 10 years ago... i also found myself thinking about him and how proud he would be of me. I was always his baby girl and now his baby girl has a baby girl of her own.

Oh how life changes...and i wouldn't change any of it for the world!!!
I want another one!! I LOVE THIS FEELING!!!.. now just to convince DF...LOL

Sorry...jsut had to tell someone :)

Hope you all have a great weekend. xx

I'm totally the same with standing over your baby close to tears thinking of how much you love them.... & it doesn't fade as they get older, dare I say it gets stronger every day! My little girl turns 4 in April & I stare at her while she's sleeping & sneak in & give her a kiss before I go to bed every night. I also sneak into DS's bedroom & admire him but too scared to kiss him yet as I'll prob disturb him & at his age he'll prob just wake up from it unfortunately... I definately make up on the kisses during the day though!

I too wonder how parents can not love their children, especially those who hurt/kill their children.... little innocent angels.

LOL@ you wanting another baby already. I still have days (like today) when I think "lets do it!" but deep down I think I'd prefer a 3 yr age gap minimum like I had between DD & DS as I really got to enjoy DD through those 3.5yrs & she got me all to herself, I'd like to experience the same with DS. (no offence to those of you who had them close together, different strokes for different folks, I admire that you have the energy to have more than one littlie!)

I'm also not sure what the future holds for us here so another baby probably wouldn't be a wise decision atm :( (thats a whole other story though)

Anyway, enjoy your night hun!

oh jenni, yes sometimes it is all just way too much....all those millions of emotions flowing and they are all so intense... Danielle, i too kiss my little ones on my way to bed, dh gets the ****s when i wake them sometimes but i just cant help myself.....sometimes i have to have a break from watching the news when there is too much stuff on about kids being hurt.... take the dog thing and the drugged 8week old and i am on over load! no news for me for a few weeks.

id love another too but the 2.4yrs break between the girls was better than the just 2 between tom and eve.... i sometimes feel guilty that eve missed out on the time being my baby.....

i agree all round gabriella will be about 3 when we try for another ..

and Oh the emotions ... i always kiss the kiddes before i got to bed .. even if im dog tired . i get up and kiss them and tell them how much i adore them . and Milly DH is the same .. gets the poops when i wake them lol ..

Jenn , i hope you get you milk sorted out .. i would try milk thistle or natural stuff and lots of pumping b4 you get meds for it .. i took maxalon when i was low in supply .. had no idea i was allergic to it ... gave me panic attacks .. thought i was going crazy !!

BUMP .. where are you gals .. ive been missing you all ...

I got gabriella a breast budding nursing necklace from the ABA shop yesterday , she loves it .. which is ovbiously the point ! i went to make my own necklace and went to a bead shop .. I asked about Non toxic beads . and he just showed me plastic ones .. i couldnt find the ones i liked so i went to the ABA .. i knew id be happier if i knew it was intended for what i wanted to used it for .. kwim ..

also got a BF top and a little top for gabriella that has wwwbreastmilkcom on it .. so cute !!

Hi Lea, I'm around :)

I've been sick the past few days, DH actually asked me to take a HPT this morning while I was throwing up LOL (BFN... phew) I think its from the pain I get in my chest that made me vommit. I had a booking for a pelvic u/s this morning but as I was too busy vommiting I had to call & cancel because I couldn't drink the litre of water in an hour like I needed.

I have Tobias' Christening on Saturday. It's a huge thing to me as we had something traumatic happen in the family on DD's Christening day which has stopped me from even putting her Christening photos in the frames she was given... I will do it soon, I'm starting to "accept" it happened & theres nothing I can do about it but I have to "get over it" so I can enjoy Tobias' big day.

Anyway thats a whole other story.......

I hope everyone is well :)

Im still here my internet has been so bad lately so annoying.

Danielle_M I hope you have a very happy and special day, I wont ask what happened but it sounds serious (((hugs))). I am waiting on till I go home for Eireann we are off in 3 weeks for a few months. cant wait to show her off

*charmalea* oh how much was the necklace and were do i get it. LOL I remember Shane used to leave marks on my boobs,I thought they would never look normal again. eireann my last baby im sad and happy with that I guess 4 is enough I just ant think about never been pregnant again or BF when I finish wich Im going to get as long as i can out of it. I keep saying to DH I want her to slow down and stay younger and he just said deal wit it LOL a slp is what he needs :) I know he was messing though he was feeling funny spending to much time with my brother.

well Im so happy i lost two pounds a small loss but its a start in the right direction whoo hoo lol
promise ill chek in more xx

hey Dannielle , i hope tomorrow goes well for you , i hope you find the strength to accept DD's christening too .. it does sound serious , so i wont ask xx

Nimah- good to see you back ... id love to see pics of Eireann now !! Gabriella is soo cute and a little character .. she is waay more smiley and giggly than DS was ..
I got the necklace from the Austrailan Breastfeeding Ass. store , its called Mothers Direct ..
it was $34.95 and looks like something E would bring home from kindy one day .. but the beads are non toxic and the necklace is tested to take 45kgs in weight , so if a bubs yanks it it wont break!! Gab loves playing with it !!

Yay on the weight loss .. we are going to wet an wild on sunday, i got a spray tan and I have a few dimples in my backside and feel a bit self concious .. i got a groovy 1piece set of togs that make me look semi decent ... just have to be brave enough to take off the litte sarong/skirt im wearing over it .. there will be all the trophy girlfriends there with pert boobs and small thighs .. and then theres me .. hmph .. i wish DH had of chosen a better venue to have the social club family day .. perhaps and glow worm tour .. at least its dark !!

Hi girls,

I'm around too, I am keeping up with posts, but just don't have much to say I guess. And I've had a tough few weeks after chrissy and new yrs with DH working alot to cover people on holidays. BUt he's had a good few days off now and we're going on holidays in about 10days. I'm really looking forward to it, our first holiday in about 2yrs!! YAY!

Danielle, I hope you feel better today. And tobias' christening goes well!

Ok gotta go my baby girl is awake!

Hi everyone. Thanks for the well wishes. The Christening went really well... MUCH better than DD's & nothing bad happened on the day to ruin the memories of DS's day... I only wish I could erase the memories of DD's so I could only have GOOD, HAPPY memories of hers. I am trying & hopefully one day I will only think of her pretty little face on her day instead of what I currently see.

I have an u/s tomorrow on my pelvis so I'm hoping to get some answers on my recent health problems. Although I do think the pain comes more when I'm stressed or nervous (like leading up to DS's Christening), anyway I should have answers within a week. (I think I mentioned about my recent problems here.... long story short, attacks where its hard to breath, causing vommiting & has left my left arm & fingers numb for 2 days after one of the attacks).

I picked some baby carrots from our garden yesterday & pureed them for DS, he hasn't had any yet, I'll probably mix it with potato. He's had pumpkin & loves it (so did DD) so next I'll try the potato & carrot... maybe tomorrow night. I'm only giving him one solid meal a day for now as I dont think he needs anymore than that, he's a good weight LOL

Lea How was wet n wild? We are heading there in March, cant wait!!! Although I'm a tankini & boardshorts girl, my legs are way too ugly!! Hope you had a fab time :)

Kellie I hope you enjoy your holiday.... first one in 2 years... you certainly deserve it!!!!

Niamh Good to hear you've lost a bit of weight, I'm currently trying to lose weight too :)

Hi to everyone else :hello:

hi girls,
had my first day back at work today :( i was so sad leaving jorja in care...though she LVOED it!! No tears, happily played slept for 3 and a hlaf hours, i struggle to get an hour in the middle of the day!!! DF then picked her up and it took her ages to notice that he was there she was too bisy playing! LOL

Wk was ok.. the usual for a first day.

danielle, hope you u/s goes ok.
hope everyone else s good xx

Hi girls,

sorry I haven't been around much, I have been trying to prioritise things in my life! And my kidlets are right up there, so it means less BB time. Plus I'm starting work again in a few weeks so I am trying to get into some sort of routine to suit wher I start working.
I have been keeping up though!

Danielle, glad to hear the christening went well and that your memories will all be good :).
Sorry to hear you haven't been well. I hope the u/s gives you some answers.
That's gerat that you have some homegrown veggies to give Tobias. I haven't really tired Liam on solids yet. I give him sucks on my apples or pears(etc...) when I have them, but haven't purposefully made a meal for him yet. I had Lil on solids at this age, though she was pretty uninterested until she was about 7mths or so, so I just thought
wait, plus its so much more work than booby!
Yeah I think we deserve a holiday too, I can't wait! It will be our first as a family!

Jen, I'm starting back at work soon too, though only 3hrs a day. I'm actually looking forward to it. To getting out and seeing adults every day! Plus DD will go to day care once or twice a week and she will absolutely love it! She screamed the house down when we went in to sign her up for it and had to leave!

Niamh, I've lost a few kg's too and am trying to loose the baby weight and then some :) Congrats on your loss! They say it's better to lose weight slowly, the slower the better, the more likely you will keep it off.

Lea, Milly, and anyone I have lissed, HI! I hope all is weel for you all.

Hi All, Happy to hear everyone is well.

Kell: where are you going to be working?

Lea: Cant wait for the nappies, Thomas had to go out in a pink one today LOL and comments :)

Danielle: Love the baptism photos, looks like you had a great day.

Jen: Glad that your first day was ok! even better the jorja enjoyed her day.

US: thomas is 7.65kgs.... he is so tall, he actually looks a bit skinny! Rolling over both ways and generally dribbling on everything. Wont start solids yet as i just wait til they can eat whatever is on my plate. i have never mashed anything for my kids (far too much work) both girls were eating at 9months...

Gotta go as kids are NOT sleeping, naughty naughty :)

Forgot to say OMG Grace starts school in 8days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aww Go Grace .. bet she looks cute as in her uniform!!

Milly have sms's you about the naps ..

us ... went and saw a LC yesterday and praise heaven above , she help me ... for once someone listend to me ..

i do have Vasospasmam .. and she gave me a script for a drug and also a natural alternative !! i am keen to start on the nautral alternative and get rid of this pain !!!

in the Buff Gabbi is 6.83 kgs ..
the LC said she has followed the same weight curve since birth .. has stayed in the 50th percentile and not gone up or down .. she wasnt too impressed(not sure why but she said it was "unusual" go figure) , but she is happy and healthy as a button so i am happy with that ..
She even saw Gabbi feed and splutter and bite and helped he deal with that .. bet $45 i ever spent .. i got about $38 back on medicare so even better !!

and won $14 on lotto .. woot
she is still on 000's but yesterday mum and I were in myer ,and they have a sale on top of thier sale .. so everything the was reduced was a further 30% off ..

we went through and pick out a load of clothes for Gabbi .. i ended up spending $130 on her :o way more than i wanted but it was all size 00, 0, 1 &2s so she will grow in to them ..

when i got home i added up the total of the clothes when they were Full price and it came to $330 ... and when i clicked that i paid $130 .. i realised is saved $200 .. WOW i was stoked and made my purchase viable !!!

these are all high end posh stuff... one dress was $50 and i got it for about $16 ... my mum is keen to go to a different myer ... but i think she has loads of stuff ..

I am doing a stall for BBH at the markets on the 1st feb and DH is having a 2nd hand stall and all of G's 0000 & 000 will be getting sold .. she still fits them , but wont for much longer and im keen to get her in her new stuff :lol:

thats all for now .. have a great day !!

only a quick pop in my little boy is not well today.

hey a question Ive been noticing the last few days on and off i have been getting pains live ov pains or AF cramps plus lots of EWCM. anty one else getting it, just thought ild ask as im noticeing them now.

I was saying to Dh last night ! have we been careful as my boobs have been a bit sore as well :doh: but we have been nothing stands out in my head at all and he says not a chance as well. Eireann is our last baby but I wouldnt be disapointed if I was to get pregnant, just wont be making an effort to TTC :shhh: MY poor dh if he heard me say that he have a heat attack LOL

lilias yep delighted its something off what i have to lose, Ill keep at it and your right slower is better and no crash dieting it only comes back and then some doesnt it..

crap have to go Eireann is kicking up a fuss and I dont want her to wake Shane let him sleep this bug away

hay whats going on, why are so many people leaving BB? have i missed some nasty stuff? its all a bit emotional!

lea havent forgotten you, just need time to ring, have been painting all the kids rooms...yes im nuts!

Hello girlies!

Wow, time is sooo flying for me! I come in here thinking it's only bee a day or two since I posted and it's been aggges! Things have been busy here!

Milly, I'm an Early Childhood Teacher and I'll be working at a centre for 3-5 yo's. I'm really looking forward to going back, I have heard this centre is a really good one. It's only for 3hrs a day so it is great timing for me with the kids, it is Lily's nap time, and as for feeding Liam I most likely won't need to express cause he can feed just before I leave and again when I return. Plus he will be starting solids in a few weeks and he can have nis solids meal while I'm away too.

Lea, :clap: :D YAAAAAYYYYYYY, that you've found someone to help with your bfing!!!! That's such great news! I hope things are easy breezy for you and Gabriella now!
Wow, that she's still in 000! Liam is in 0 now! I have no idea what he weighs or how long he is, I haven't been back to the MCHN for months, I know naughty mummy! But I figure he's happy and content and pooing and weeing, so I don't worry!

Niamh, I have af back already, and have had for about 2 months I think, even though I'm fully bfing still! It is alot more painful too, and I feel ovulation like you. It's like I'm a teenager again! I haven't had period pains like these for years! My nipples get really sore too and it's like bfing for the first few weeks after having a baby again for a few days. Not pleasant! The things women go through, as if childbirth isn't enough!!!
I hope Shane is feeling better now, poor little man!

As for us, well, DH is on holidays now for 2 weeks (yay!) and I get to catch up on sleep! LOL.Liam and Lily has=ve been ok, though Lil's a bit stroppy some days which has got me thinking her ears are sore again (we have had trouble for a few months now). I will be taking her to the GP tomorrow, and we have another specialist appt in mid Feb. I'm thinking dairy will be off the menu for a while as taking her off dairy a few months ago cleared up the problem, and we put her back on it to make sure it was the reason. Which is ok for me, at least she won't have to have an operation for grommets.
We are going to Adelaide in a few days (so I won't be online much in the next week or so) and then I start work and uni again in Feb, so I will be busy busy busy!!! I only have one unit to do for uni, and I'm only working 3hrs a day, but it will be fun trying to keep up with everything! I'm thinking BB might be the thing that's going to have to suffer for it all! But I will still be around a bit (no I'm NOT leaving!!!).
Ok that's it for me, I hope everyone had a great long weekend!
Ok gotta go!

hi all , dunno why everyones leaving .. personal choice really ..

wow Kellie you sound soo busy .. i dont have that sort of energy lol .. but it would be nice to do some work once in a while .. Poor Lily on her ears it must be so frustrating ... nix gets reucrrent throat infections but i find AB's dont help so i dont take him to the docs we just hang out at home till hes better , its usally appears after a busy day or overtiredness , he gets run dowm pretty easily ..

Milly . i will PM you soon or text , not sure which one yet but i will talk to you soon , im going to be at markets this sunday, maybe we could meet there ??

Nimah, i get the same pains too , i think its ovulation .. i dont have AF back yet but that what my pains feel like !

have a good day , im off to the CHN to find out about Gabriellas leg and a eczema patch on her arm :( i have heard ezcema before there 1 usally means asthma before they are 2 .. sounds crazy .. but i thoughtid check with her ..

ETA - how much eye contact do your babes give you , Gab doesnt give much and its only for about 2 seconds .. shes normal every other way but a few ppl have picked up on it and consatnly remind me that shes doesnt give eye contact .. should i be worried??
