Just wanted to be first

and forgot to post before that Vicky had an u/s today and it has been confirmed that she has an inguinal hernia so will have to have surgery - will probably only be a day surgery but it sucks that is has to happen. Will be seeing Dr on Wed so will find out then when.

[aussienic]

hi,
hope everyone had a great easter.

well, Alisha turned 5 yesterday. she finally made it. and thankfully i didnt have to organise a party for her. she chose to have big presents instead. she chose a new bed with bratz fairy pixies on it, a matching book shelf and a new desk. all from target and even better on sale! it took DP most of yesterday to put everything together and then he took tia and alisha to see horton hears a who. and from what i've heard from them, 'it's really funny mummy'.

i just cant beleive that she's 5. i looked at her hand in mine the other day, and its just so big now. and soon she wont be holding it. she'll get too embarassed as kids get when they're growing up. ( remember the old 'drop me off round the corner'?) i think i'll probably cry when tia turns 7 in june.


mirani still hasnt rolled over as such yet. but i reckon within the next week, as she can roll onto her side but she's not quite there yet.


take care everyone.

[morgan78]

Too tired/lazy to type much tonight....lovely pics Nic.
Hope everyone is doing well...we're plodding along will catch up properly tomorrow - i hope

[aussienic]

Thanks

Morgan where in QLD are you?

[BekZ]

Hi Everyone,

Sounds like heaps of Mummies are lossing their hair...Well I am not lossing it but I do feel like pulling it out some days with my dear Sara!! Actually miss Sara has all of a sudden taken to going to the toilet without prompting!!! She even takes off and puts back on her undies/pants/skirt. She is also doing poos. Yeah I think we may be almost toilet trained...best not speak too loud tomorrow maybe different.

Sara has had high temps all day...bugger this means a long night for me. I have to monitor her carefully incase she has a convulsion.

Miss Loren is so funny atm. She giggles heaps and yells out for attention all the time. She is not rolling yet but is heading in that direction. So far she has slept through the night for 3 weeks now (except last night). Last night was her first night in her cot without the snuggle bed. She is just so long, I must get her weighed and height checked. I am sure she would be over 6kgs by now.

Nic - I hope you enjoy Brissy. It has been raining here today.

Me - I am starting to do 20mins on the treadmill every morning, and I am making my way through all the easter chocky. I need to loss 5kgs in the next 8weeks or so.

Best go, you are all well.

Grrr really crappy day here. Olivia is having trouble with her poos and has spent the day screaming. My poor baby, I hate seeing her in pain, it is so hard to watch. Yesterday I took her to the MCHN who gave her a sepository (sp?) and it worked a little but then today was awful again :-( We are giving her brown sugar water, rubbing her tummy, pumping her legs... any other ideas???

Oh yeah and while fixing our kitchen wall today my FIL put a hole right through the kitchen floor?!?!

Sorry for the selfishness - just feeling really worn out and crappy tonight. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day. Sending sleepy vibes to all.

[aussienic]

Bek: Its a shame I don't have more time. It would be great to organize a meet up.. Maybe next time...

Alicia: :hugs: I know how bad "poo days" can be.. Thankfully it has stopped here but I do now how bad they can be.. Other ideas are.. Warm bath.. and pumping her legs at the same time.. Lay her over your knees on her tummy applying a firm pressure there...

Hope your kitchen floor is easily fixed.. :hugs: hope tomorrow is better

[morgan78]

Hi to all - been lurking around but not had time to catch up.
Buzzie - poor Ash i hope his eye gets better quickly for you
Lara - i spoke too soon Alex decided to throw a monster tantrum today - 1.5hrs of constant screaming, dry retching and hyperventilating - decided to have a battle of wills with mum , wouldn't tidy his toys so i packed them away in the spare room and then he decided that he was not happy about having to sit on a bare floor with nothing to do - in the end he calmed down and after lots of cuddles he agreed to tidy up and all calm until tomorrow.
Bekz - how are your girls/dh feeling hopefully better
Haroula - during the day we wrap Vicky up nice & tight which helps her go to sleep and if she's unsettled i rock her to sleep & leave her to sleep on me normally sleeps for a good hour & i do it in front of the computer so i can hop on here
Tinsel - Vicky was really spewy and we found that putting her head & shoulders on a cushion when on the floor and a couple of blankets under the head of her bed has almost put a stop to it.
Nic - glad to hear Olivia got some sleep & u too
Trish - hope you are all feeling better. Hows thing with Brandon these days?

Vicky is having day surgery on Tues - admission time is 11.30am so DP is taking the day off to help with Alex. We are not allowed to give her any milk after 9.30am and she can only have 36mls of water between then & 11.30am so i hope we dont have to wait too long for the surgery cause she aint gonna understand that theres no eating. Thanks everyone for your support it's always appreciated.

[aussienic]

Lauren: ouch.. poor Ash. I have to cut olivias nails every week.. They just don't stop growing lol. Hope his eye feels better soon

Kellie: She sure is.. I did put one clip in her hair but I scratched her head by accident taking it out so I haven't tried again

Morgan: :hugs: I hope all goes well with the surgery..

[BekZ]

Haroula - i would love some tips on daytime sleeping too. Loren won't do any more than 45 min naps, I try to extend them but this only works some times. She is sleeping through the night and usually from 9pm till 6am so I shouldn't complain.

Nic - Glad you had a great time in Bris Vegas!!! I will look at your pics soon.

Buzzie - So to hear your little man has hurt his eye.

Miss Loren is rolling..yey. She has also taken to playing under her floor moblie.

Wow this time last year I got that little second line show up on my pg test.

In amongst our very busy lives here DH and I have decided to upgrade to a new house. We put our house on the market yesterday. I have seen a house that I would love to buy so we are crossing our fingers that ours gets some interest very soon.

I just keep thinking about all the packing...yuk. DH and I moved into this place straight out of uni, so we really did not have much at all. 5 years down the track, a marriage, and 2 babies....omg!!!!

[aussienic]

Morning all.. well off for our 4 month needles today .. I hate needles

Bek: We ended up out at Logan on Sunday. I sat in the car dozing with Olivia while DH and my mum did some groceries Dh's uncle lives out that way so we went visitiing.

I am trying to remember what date I did my test to find out Olivia was on the way. We were on holiday at Airlie Beach and I was super grumpy but we kept saying it was PMS lol.. I did a test when we got home and Voila!! Olivia was hiding in there

[Buzzie]

Good luck Vicky with the surgery - sending get better soon vibes

And OIivia with needles, hope it does hurt too much - ohhh i hate them so much!

[morgan78]

Just saying Goodnight - hope you all have a good sleep
