No AF here but thought it might the other day but must of been just hormonal day.

hi everyone
Bekz - No AF here yet and atm i really don't mind

Buzzie - when Vicky was 6 weeks DP & i agreed that there was no way we were ever doing this again but the last couple of weeks i've been seriously rethinking it and yesterday was telling DP that we could still look at it in about 3 or 4 years as then the other 2 will be at school/just starting so i would have more time to give a newborn during the day and as i'm only turning 30 this year certainly have some time to play with (hopefully) funny tho cause i dont think DP gets that im actually being serious

We bought Vicky a Fisher Price Rainforest play gym today - Toys R us had $30 off them and she thinks its great tho our lounge room is getting rather crowded with kiddy stuff now

AF arrived today I suspected I was O'ing a couple of weeks ago, and well... I guess I was! At least I got a couple more months AF-free this time.. it returned at 3 months last time. And yay, it means if I can talk DH into it, we'll be set to TTC when DD is 1! hehe.

Morgan - I had to keep reminding DH that DS would be so much older when the baby is born, and very different. All DH could think of was having 2 babies the same, he kept forgetting just how much the first one would change in the 9 months until the baby came.

I haven't taken Kayla for her 4 month needles yet. woops. Must get onto that. Both kids were sick a couple of weeks ago, so that made me put it off longer too. And I haven't had Kayla weighed or measured either. I should do it.. just because it makes buying clothes easier. LOL. I don't know how long she is, so all the measurements in the clothing doesn't mean anything to me! I've worked out that she needs 00 pants and 000 tops (prolly coz of the cloth nappies that she's up a size in pants).

Hope everyone is well. gotta put DS to bed, catch up soon

Ah I have non sleepers. Jacob and Olivia have both woken the last 3 nights. so tiring.. oh well...

We were shopping today and I had Olivia in the sling. It wasn't hot as such but I noticed she was getting quite sweaty so I thought she might have been getting hot against,, then next minute she started dry heaving and before I had time to get her out she threw up on me. Not heaps. but the poor baby girl was so pale and sweaty. then she fell asleep. I was so worried there was something wrong so we went home and when she woke up she was all fine. Colour back and so were the smiles. I hope she just got a little over heated..

Anyways hope everyone else is having a wonderful weekend!!

Hi Bek, it's good to know that there is nothing to worry about re the spews. She is a happy spewer as well so I won't worry. I make sure I elevate her as much as possible after a feed and she practically lives in a bib now (esp with all the drooling as well). I hope everyone gets well soon. I was just wondering yesterday when AF turns up again.

Nic, Monique loves bath time too but I guess she just enjoys floating around. I am sure she will kick around one day. Poor little Olivia, glad that she is back to normal.

Buzzie, way to go Ash! It seems like all the boys we know born within two weeks of Monique are going great guns. Monique is in the 90th percentile for her length and weight. And yes, I am clucky again after having cuddles with my brand new nephew. We are going to try again in December I think as I don't want to leave it much past 35 (next March).

I think Monique has a cold as she has a runny nose. Also, she has weeping eyes but mostly in her left eye. Does anyone know what this is? It isn't red although it was a little puffy today but has settled down. Should I squirt some milk into it? I have massaged the corner of her eye as well in case it is a blocked tear duct. This is the part I am not looking forward to, all the sickness symptoms and not knowing what to do.

I wish AF would just hurry up and get here...I am bloated like a pig, my ovaries hurt, I am emotional and my skin and hair are so oily. Hey sounds like I am pregnant!!! Not....

Little Loren seems to be getting better. I am praying for a decent nights sleep. Between Loren being sick and Sara have night mares I am not getting much sleep at all. No wonder I feel and look like a hag.

Nic - You poor thing re AF...bugger that. Although I do know how you feel, as I had all sorts of issues with AF after Sara was born.

I had Loren weighed at the Doctors and she is just on 6kgs. I will take her to the nurse this week for full measurements etc.

Loren just would not sleep for me today. I wasted most of the day trying to put her to sleep. She was happy enough but I thought she needed more sleep so I spent most of my day taking her in and out of the cot. DH thinks I should just let her be if she is not cranky.

Tinsel - If Monique is getting a cold then she could have conjunctivitis. If the redness does not go down by tomorrow I would be taking her to the doc. It is very common for bubs to get conjunctivitis when they get colds.


Yep I am clucky again. Although since having 2 sick kids for the past 2 weeks I am having my doubts. I really don't know if I could handle any more kids, and I really don't know how many times I want to go through the terrible 2s!!! eeek

At the same time I miss being pregnant and I would love to do that all over again. DH wants to ttc when Loren is one, assuming I got pregnant straight away and I did not miscarry that would mean I would have 3 kids under 4. My other thought would be to leave ttc until Loren is 2 and Sara 4, that way Sara would be going off to school. On the other hand I would not mind going back to uni and getting myself back to work etc and just be happy with 2 kids.

bekz - do uthink the 2 yr gap between ur 2 has worked well for u. ?? - and anyone else with that age gap....
ive decided to contemplate ttc wen Ash turns 2.
