Babies Born August 1st - 15th 2008 #4

[2girlz]

Hello all
WOW it has been a year already since we were all clutching our and racing onto BB with our pants still around our ankles to tell everyone, how time flies

Squidipa- hugs chicky and I guess hmmm 200g too

Vic- I hope everything goes well with baby number 2 I have a friend who had a baby the same gestation as you had miss N and her second was two weeks over due.
Poor Daddy geting covered in poo I hope he has a strong stomach hee hee

Kiwigirl- Just looked at the pic I took of my BFP and the date says the 7th of December but I think I tested earlier and got an extremely faint cross. I had only slight AF cramping no other signs oh except my due date which I worked out to be 13/08/08 when my first born was due on the 13/05/05 I knew it was a sign what were the chances of having dates like that!
Sorry to hear of your loss

The pixie- The day spa sounds sooooooo nice. LOL about the bottle confusion Allegra does the same thing then gives me this real cranky look to say noooo thats not what I want MUM!

Mel- I bought 2 new larger bottles with a faster flow teat and Allegra cracked me up when she was pulling faces while trying to keep up with the flow the first few times. How is Miss M going in childcare? I have an enrolement form for Allegra as I may need it in February back to work YAY YAY.

Sasha- WOW what a great routine you have K in I'll give you my number and he can baby chat to Allegra and tell her to do the same hee hee. Thats great he loves swimming

MM- sounds like you have a real mummies boy there (makes the most of it remember they grow up and don't really like giving too many cuddles)

Hello to everyone I missed

We cleaned up Cadences Highchair yesterday and Allegra loves it she sits up high and looks down on Cadence and the cat. She has been ok with sleeping lately but my routine of going to bed at 10:30 has gone right out the window as someone still wants to party till midnight.
I have had Allegra on both boob and formula for a bit now and she's doing alright she's not packing on the weight like I thought she would be.
Better go and start to get organised for my orthodontist appointment ouchie ouchie!
Take care everyone

I am really hoping we get to go to term - don't think I will be too thrilled about going 2 weeks over What was caused your friends bub to come early?

Daddy doesn't have the strongest stomach, and he was yelping out holding Nakita up in the air and poo dripping everywhere, I just wanted to look and enjoy laughing at him for a while, but as it was going to get the couch I have to get a towel

racing onto BB with our pants still around our ankles to tell everyone, how time flies

I still don't know how I didn't blurt it out at work, i must have had the hugest grin on my face!!

Hope the orthodontist app goes well!!

Got a good amount of work done today, and if N stays asleep a little longer I will get more done!! So better run!

not sure but my friend smoked heavily during her pregnancy
you did soooooo well to hide your pregnancy AND the sex of miss N

my orthodontist made my day he said once a gap is closed in my teeth we'll talk about them coming off

[squidipa]

thank u for ur messages i am exhausted and am resting!
The appointment took it out of me but i am determined if possible it be my last. It took 3 hours and loads of tears. I am wrecked physically and emotionally can wait for it to be over. I already knew i had and have post traumatic stress disorder thanks to my EX the *@#$ twit, well i hope this is the end of this chapter. Just resting up and processing!!

thanks again

Hi All

Hehe Kel

you did soooooo well to hide your pregnancy AND the sex of miss N

It was tricky, but in the end I just had to smile at everyone's guesses, sooooo many people were certain it was a boy cos of the way I was carrying!! Little did they know!

Yay about the gap closing, did he say how long that might take?

Glad to hear you got through your appointment Squidipa, hopefully you can now move forward and leave all this behind

I am buggered, went to work for 3 hours, worked at home, flew into the city to doa few jobs and then went to yoga, got home about 8.30pm, and my lovely DH was cleaning the floors

So I cooked up some lovely Veal Schnitzels from the farmers markets with a mountain of vegies (I love my vegies atm, have to eat a lot of them ) I am off to do my evening express and then get an earlish night as I have an 8am meeting, with the national Landscape Design Manager for Delfin Lend Lease, so I have to be on the ball

Huge Hi to everyone else, hope you had a good day and havn't come down with a dose of Mondayitis!!!
Cheers!

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I have also been MIA. Been busy out and about - I haven't even been on BB to read posts let alone actually post! Normally I get the reading in at least!

Squidipa - I hope it is your last appt too and things only go onwards and upwards from here. Oh and my guess for Joshies weight is 195gms. But I hope you get more!

Kel - Yay for getting braces off soon!

Rach - Thanks for prompting us to share our BFP stories. I remember being so excited... so it is good to remember it all again!

SB - Good luck with the move if you don't manage to get on here beforehand!

Mel - Wishing Aricyn a speedy recovery from here! And yay for you have the perfect baby... whenever I think I have Jett's routine figured out he goes and changes it on me so I have just given up now and go with the flow! The only thing that is hasn't changed is that once the last feed is done (around midnight) then he will sleep through to morning. Usually about 7-7.30, but sometimes earlier and sometimes later!

Sasha - Kye is just doing so well and that pic is just gorgeous! What a spunky boy!

Pixie - spa treatment sounds lovely! There is a lovely day spa here that I go to (they have a hair salon attached which is where I get my hair done) and they do the best pedicures, absolutely amazing. I would love to try some of their other treatments but I feel so self-indulgent so I don't. I keep dropping hints that it would be lovely but nada! Funny thing is that when we are stuck for ideas for presents DH often suggests getting a voucher from there for people!!! I just wish he would think of getting me one too!! Oh well So kudos to The Bear!

MM - I know how you feel with the clingy bub, Jett has been like that over the weekend too. I am wondering if he is beginning to teethe too. He is really chewing and gnawing on things - his fists, his thumb, his dummy, my fingers... but he has no other signs so I just don't know! He keeps shoving his dummy in to the side of his mouth and going to town on it! And when he grabs my hand or finger OMG I can't believe how hard he gnaws!

to everyone else I have missed... Leasha, Kell.... and anyone else my poor brain has forgotten!

Last year DH and I decided that it was time to start TTC and so I went to the doctors to have the dreaded PS which I hadn't had done for 5 years (oops! ) and while I was there I discussed my plans with my doc and she gave me some great advice and sent me for blood tests to make sure everything was set to go for the journey, along with the advice that this often takes some time and to prepare to not get a positive result for up to 12 months. So after that visit we decided that we would wait for the next cycle to start trying. My blood tests came back all ok, but my PS was 'inconclusive' which meant I would need to go back for another test next cycle. Not ideal when TTC. I ummed and ahhed over it all, but decided that we would not actively try, but just see what happens and would actively try the cycle after, after the PS had been repeated. I realised that I didn't actually know alot about my cycle in terms of length or predicting it so I started temping in an effort to know how long my cycles are and my ovulating patterns, but in so doing I also knew when I was ov-ing so DTD at the right time was not exactly difficult!! So, I bought some tests ready to POAS and decided that I wanted to POAS without knowing if AF was just around the corner or not just for the fun of it. So I did... on the 28/11/07 I peed, looked at the test for a few minutes, grew bored and left it to have my breakfast. I went back about 20 mins later and there was a faint line. Faint, but no mistaking it was there. I was shocked But having looked 20 mins afterwards I wasn't sure if the line had come up after the 10min limit or not. So I tested again the next day, and yep, there it was, darker and within the 10mins. I still couldn't believe it, so I went and bought a different brand of tests and tested again the next day. Yep. No doubt about it. Figured I may as well use the other test in the pack too so did that a few days later. Still yep. Still couldn't believe it so I bought another pack of tests and tested both tests again through the week - I think all up I did 7 tests!! Needless to say when I went to my doc for my repeat PS and told her I was UTD she didn't give me a blood test!! I was soooo not expecting it and know that I was very blessed to get my on the very first cycle, but I still don't know how long it is!
