Em - you made me laugh, Olivia does the same with her teddies!!! She kisses, cuddles and rolls on the floor with them but not us! When I go into her in the mornings after her being asleep for 12 hours, all she want to do is say morning to her teddies, if I pull her out before this she cries If I kiss DH infront of her she will kiss us but that is it!!! Its funny, hopefully she changes when she gets older.

Mel - I forgot to congratulate your news about your Sister!! Is she the one that recently go married?

V - HAVE YOU TESTED YET!!!!!!!???????

Thanks for the bottles advice, I am going to but my electric sterliser away tomorrow whoo hoo!! More bench space. What about boiling the water? I knew I forgot a questions, do you still do that?

I got my hair cut tonight LOVE IT! Feels SO good
I bought Olivia a quilt for her bed today, it has butterflies all over it and is SO cute. I also got her dress for her party which has butterflies over it also....can you see a theme hehehe

[Meluchja]

Hey Flossie, Olivia's theme sounds very cute. How did you get your hair cut? I got mine done today too. Just went back to blonde with a chuncky sexy bob. Wanted a whole new look for a pick me up.

Thanks girls for congratulating my sister. She is the one that just got married. She had her last period on their honeymoon, so no wasting time there. She had been off the pill for awhile but had decided last weekend that she would go back on it, as they really wanted to knuckle down and save money. But I guess mother nature had other plans. It's just the best news.

Something to take my mind off that those terrible deaths of the 18month old little boy and girl in Sunnybank. It has really touched me, and I can't stop thinking about it. How could something like this happen? It's just aweful. Those poor little babies, I just hope that they are playing peacefully now with the angels above. God bless their little souls.

Em, I have 1 neice and nephew on my side of the family, but on DH side I have 3 neices and 1 nephew. But this time it's different. Maybe because I'm old enough to appreciate it. My DH family live in sydney so I don't get to see them much. And my oldest sister's kids are older and I was a teenager when she was pregnant, so not really interesting in big belly's, IYKWIM. Enjoy the pampering. You deserve to get rewarded and feel like a princess from time to time. I think we all deserve it more often. Is the party just at her place?

V, my sister is 3 years older. I doubt I can be her offical doula as she lives in Mt Isa, but I will definately be here for her, for anything. She has already asked to forward onto her all the information I have. I would love to be there for her, during the birth, but even if she wanted me to, I don't think that I would be able to make it up there in time. Qantas only fly there twice a day. I hope avaleigh gets better soon. Jack cut through 3 in the last few days. He now has 5 and it looks like the other top one is on it's way through as well. So different to Charlize who at this stage had none. Let us know if you pick up the pee stick over the weekend. You never know, my sister and you might be due around the same time?????????

Jan, Liam sounds very cute talking to his teddies in the morning. Jack's fav. word at the moment is Birdie, even at 5am after a dreamfeed, birdie this birdie that, then fast asleep. Little buggers!!!!

Anyway ladies, I'll be back later, still got some cleaning to do, eekkkk!!!!

Hi Ladies

Wow there was a fair few posts to read through tonight! Its great. I haven't been posting either as i just dont have the patience to wait and wait lol

Ethan seems to slowly be getting better ever since i got him a vapouriser to use in his room at night, his cough is still pretty nasty though and at least 3x a day he is vomiting from constantly coughing, it seems phlegmy and being so little he just cant get it up iykwim. I also think his teeth are doing there thing again as his cheeks have been red and dryish for the past two days, he is the price of Drooling and his nappy.....You really dont want to know lol Flu wise im staring to feel a bit better and sleep well, im surviving on what i get a fair bit of stress going on atm so is affecting my sleep. I also went to the dr the other day as i woke up and it felt like my throat was really swollen and i had to gasp for breath (i thought i was going to die!!) and the dr has diagnosed me with Gastroesophagal Reflux Disease (GERD) which is like chronic reflux and the reason my throat went that way is that my throat lining is burnt, so diet adjustments in place and that terrible mylanta will hopefully keep it tolerable for now. The thing is that GERD is usually life long and requires medication most times but the pills have not been proven safe during pregnancy the good thing is that the dr thinks that being it started with pregnancy it may go when bubs is born like GD. I hope so lol if i have tomato or anything acidic i know whats going to happen in the morning lol at least i will have a warning this time and wont panic!!

Mel- Hope your babys are feeling better soon. Your hair cut sounds Great, Do you feel better for it? Congratulations to your sister, how exciting. I cant believe jack is only 2 wks away from being one! Im going to be another emotional one too, i got teary just thinking about 1st birthdays the other day, but i tear up over just about anything lately!
Hearing about those little twins broke my heart poor little darlings so devastating. How cute is jack talking birdies at 5am!!

Lis- Nope ethan not a cuddly baby really either, but sometimes i would just love a hug too! No sterilising here either, and im no longer boiling water either, although occasionally i still do sometimes, i started unboiled water by giving 1 unboiled bottle a day for a week and then added one each week until all his bottles were unboiled iykwim.

Em- Enjoy your pampering hey its great to do it when you can, I hope to get to a hair dresser soon i feel like a ragged house wife atm The engagement party sounds fun, enjoy yourselves.

Oops Ethan is awake ladies so must pop back to finish personals later or tomorrow.

Oh before i go Veronica goodluck with your POAS if you decide to do it! How exciting.

OK Goodnight ladies.

Hey Everyone!!

I've got the be honest with you all. I dont think I am preggers at all! I think my body is getting ready to ovulate now or soon.. SO I dont think I am going to POAS, but I do need to go to the shops later and I might wonder past the HPTs...

Well I better go! We've got a busy afternoon.. BBL for personals

UH OH!!! Avaleigh has 4 teeth cutting through at once!! SHe is handling it pretty well but has the rosiest red cheeks! So cute.. I better get a photo of this day so we remember that 4 teeth cut through at once!

[BhoysGirl]

Jess - you poor thing having to take Mylanta, I absolutely hated the stuff when I was pregnant. Fingers crossed that it does go away once Bub2 arrives.

V - I hope that something happens for you soon. Maybe all the dieting combined with BFing and everything else thats on your mind has just got your body in a bit of a spin. Poor Avaleigh, getting 4 teeth at once, but then kind of lucky to get them over & done with in one hit.

Mel - I hear you on those tragic twins, got to be one of the saddest things I've ever heard. I started reading the posts about it, but just couldn't after a bit, it's so upsetting. Thank goodness we have some good stories to share to help balance the emotions out.

Lis - the quilt sounds really pretty, and butterflies are such a gorgeous girlie theme to have. How much fun is the party planning.

I've had a lovely day today. Had some school friends over for lunch, girls that I had lost contact with, then last year we had a school reunion, and we've stayed in touch, which is really nice. One of them had a really sad story though, her younger sister lost her baby the week before christmas, she went full term & had perfect pg, but apparently the cord got twisted around, and baby had spent too much time in meconium, so only lived a short while. Breaks my heart to hear, but the good news is that she's pg again, but the freaky thing is that she found out she was pg exactly 1yr & a day after she found out about her first pg, and her 2nd baby is due on pretty much the same day. THat would make for some really tough emotions I think. And on another good note, a close friend of mine who's been trying for a while and had a couple of m/c's is now 13weeks along, so I'm absolutely thrilled for her. Problem is, all this pg talk is making me super clucky, but I still haven't seen AF, and I'm bfing so much I don't like my chances of anything happening. Oh, and having the "energy" would probably help too. All good though, cos I would prefer to be married before no2 anyway, so there's some motivation for getting these things organised quicksmart.

Heya Jan!
How are ya???
Our sleeping has improved so much over here... so exciting! Lach has slept 12 hours the last 2 nights. He has woken maybe twice a night for his dummy, but quickly goes back off.

His Constipation is another story. The soy formula he is on has done nothing. If anything, it's a little worse.
So once this tin of formula is done, we will revert back to normal formula, adn try vaalia yoghurt ( which has probiotics in it) and yakult. If that doesn't work, it's onto laxatives. Fingers crossed something works for him. We head back to the pead just after his 1st birthday to reveiw everything.

Thanks for asking about me.
Well I've been very busy with everything lately. Amongst organising lachie's birthday party and my wedding, I am also organising a bit of a party for my own birthday. 25 is a bit of a milestone I reckon LOL

Well, I hope you are all well. I seem to be getting lost in the posts.

Chat soon

xxoo Nicky

Hi Everyone

Hope you have all had a nice weekend.

Well Ethan has been terribly ill again! I thought his flu had cleared up but on friday morning all of a sudden he had a real high fever was all floppy and kept drifting in and out of sleep and when he was awake would just cry and i couldnt get him to eat or drink anything, I took him to the Drs (was very lucky to get in there) and his temp was up to 39.5! I was scared so i had to take him to the hospital for a supositry poor little thing, it was rather uncomfortable for him but within 30 mins his temp was back to normal and we got to go home, yesterday his temp went back to 38.7 but with a tepid bath and panadol it slowly came back down, soo far today his temp is ok so hopefully it stays that way, if all is good by tuesday then he wont need to go back to the dr, he thought it was just viral. The scariest thing was when i lifted his shirt up at the drs he had broken out in a febrile rash wich wasnt there like 10mins earlier, i freaked and thought "OMG whats wrong with him"! Besides that my flu has cleared up, just got the sniffles, and the morning sickness has disappeared!! So relieved lol as i had it all the way through with ethan, now i just need my energy back!

Nicky- Yay for lachie, what great sleep I hope the constipation is sorted out soon hun, must be so uncomfortable for your little man.

Jan- Yes i cant stand the mylanta either, it makes me gag everytime!

Veronica- Poor Avaleigh cutting four teeth at once! Hopefully they come through quickly and as painlessly as possible.

Well i best get off here, just thought i would pop in while having a break from the house work and i need to get motivated again lol
