sorry Jaki, you cant get rid of me that easy.

did every one just leave in the last thread, or was i reading to much into it all??

hope i didnt piddle anyone off, id never hear of the who befor our babies thread,
i love hearing how you all raise your kids, it shows me that im not the odd duck doing things my way, we all have our own ways and values, no matter what they are.

well im sitting here with a wide-eyed bub munching on her hands, no interest at all in sleep!
Discoverd today she is getting ticklish! brendan tickled her feet, she squirmed and giggled!

Well I just caught up on everything and OMG, what the F happened? I stay away for a few days and the crud hits the fan. I have to honestly say I didn't see any judgment of anyone, and I'm unbiased because I wasn't here lol

Either way you all still have to put up with me... even though I'm feeling crummy and really down Here's whats been happening:

After a faint BFP on friday morning with 2nd MU I started spotting on friday night and now *TMI* I'm bleeding, bright red and cramping pretty bad. Sunday I was 12dpo going from when I first started to get O pains, and I had pink spotting round 5dpo.
Feeling slightly glad that it ended so soon as DD is only 10.5wks old and it's too soon for me, but also sad and disappointed that I don't get to grow another bub inside me and frustrated that my body could fail again even when we weren't trying, and guilty because I kept on saying that I didn't really want it... I had just started to come to terms with it all when I started spotting, so it's like I've had my guts ripped out and had the most precious thing stolen from me.

Blegh, sorry for the downer me post... hopefully I'll be in a better place again in a few days.

Hope all of you who are left are doing ok *hugs*

It's because you were away you're obviously the glue that holds the group together

Really, I don't know... I've been reading along, but not posting. Part because I felt I had nothing to add, part because I agreed with some arguments but didn't want to contribute to either side (major fencesitter/peacekeeper/wimp here, and NO I'm not saying who/what I agreed with), and part because I say so much on Facebook that I think most of my FB friends are sick of me talking about Amelia

Luv ya ladies!

lol I wish And I love hearing about everyones bub's on FB, especially since I keep on forgetting to get on here on a regular basis (garden's of time on FB is partly to blame...)

Oh my guts hurt... really not liking this right now... if it wasn't for the faint BFP I would have had a 10 day LP... as it was I only had a 24 day cycle this month... my stoopid body hates me

[Iona Macca]

OMG ferrals, so happy that Ella is ok and you had the monitor but how scary!!

hi to everyone!!! hope you all had a great long weekend!!

[Beautiful Disaster]

Well I am home. What a trip. Jayden was so good. We left on Thurs night at 830 and he slept till 530 where we had stopped for a snooze at a freezing rest stop. Brrrrrr He had a bottle bit of a play and a whinge and then was good again. We got back on the road at 630 and pulled into driveway at 10 and he only woke cause we got him out of the car. He then some how slept another 2 hours and then 3 in the afternoon AND THEN went to bed at 830 and slept till 7 lol. Crazy Kid lol. Trip home was a bit longer cause we did it in the day but he was still pretty good. Only got cranky twice. We got home at 945 and he was asleep so put him to bed and he woke at 130 for a bottle then went back to sleep till 715. What a trooper.

Sat night I met some fab bb ladies from all over Aus and I had the best time with a group of stragers. They were amazing and my bloody stomach is still aching from laughing so much lol

I have forgotten nearly everything else that was said and other stuff I have chosen to forget

Hi to everyone and I will check in later when I dont have a pig sty and a grizzler lol

Much love x

[ellasmummy]

Omg ferrals how scary!! So glad you had the monitor, and I so hope she was just in a deep sleep. My worst nightmare is going in there and finding a baby not breathing bet she will get lots of extra cuddles today and yay for you not leaving our group!!!
Kylz what a champ j was!!
Holy crap kitty 14 days!!! You know my c still poops at least 1-2 times a day! Haha always in the nice nappies!

[ellasmummy]

Oh and kitty I suck at dreamfeeding, boobie ninja I am not!! Have done it once successfully, every other time I've woken her up!

[KittyK]

im the same, i did it once properly but every other time I woke him up as well. there should be some sort of boobie ninja class lol As long as nothing is wrong with Chase I'm happy for him to continue pooing once every 2 weeks hahaha.

ferrals: thank goodness for monitors and that Ella was okay, it was probably just a nice deep sleep but must have been so scary.

Kylz: J's a champion sleeper! Wish Chase would sleep during the day, he goes down about 4 times a day for half an hour naps...grrr...

[TeniBear]

Oops JJ, I forgot to address the rest of your post Sorry to hear you've (probably) had that loss, no matter how soon it happened it would still hurt Look after yourself

Even just reading and not posting I missed something. Do what works for you, I say.

Thinks are going well here, except Eden has had a runny nose for the last two days and a a wet cough that's getting worse, and of course today's a public holiday and no dr's open. I know they won't be able to give me anything, but they can hopefully reassure me it's nothing to worry about.

[WeeMansMummy]

Glad I'm not alone

Hugs Jenna
