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

Hi everyone. You've all been so busy with your posts, I don't know if I can keep up

Nicky - Autie is taking something called Mega Oil for her eczema and a side effect is really good bowel movements. If you want to give it a go, it's a combination of natural oils and you can get it at good chemists. It will be in the fridge section.

Jess - so sorry to hear little Ethan has been feeling so poorly. Thank goodness you are feeling a bit better. I will send some energy vibes your way

Jan - That's both sad and happy news about the baby - would be bittersweet for them I think. Hope everything goes well for them this time. I hear you on the cluckiness. I have to keep looking at Autie and thinking 'no, hold out! I don't want to divide my time just yet!' Can't believe you still haven't got AF! I only lasted til 5months AND I was BF night and day!

V - Wow, four at once! Hope little Avaleigh is coping with all that toofy action!

Lis - I don't boil water and haven't for months. My personal opinion is, the sooner they're exposed to germs, the sooner they build an immune system (or like Em said, they can lick the floor so what's the point? LOL) The butterflies sound very cute. We are having those little pink fairy cupcakes for Autie's party. Is Olivia getting a butterfly cake?

It's funny all this talk about cuddly bubs atm. Autumn has just begun giving kisses (lots) when we ask and is also into giving 'squeezies' though she's not one to sit on your lap and snuggle for ages - far too much work to do! LOL I think she is weaning herself off me which I thought was going to NEVER happen as she's always been so BFing mad keen. It's good because she will take a bottle now and sleeps better and is settling herself but also kinda sad
How much formula is everyone on per day these days?
Crap, gotta go and didn't get to everyone sorry. Can't keep dinner waiting when it's been cooked for me though...

Just a quick hi and bye sorry!

Morning everyone!

Just a quick one from me as I have bacon cooking (bacon and eggs for brekky - YUM!!) I am NOT pregnant. I've been charting my cycle since missing my period and my temp has taken a dive and all signs are pointing to me ovulating now. Its funny cause I missed my period 9 days ago and I am ovulating now, which would be the same time if I did have my period! Probably all the stress and new diet made my body get out of whack. I've stopped my diet and will probably have a job in the next week or so, so the stress is slowly going away..

BBL for personals!

YEEHAW!!! I've got a job!! My dad organised some work for me and this company sounds really good and really laid back. Its a new area within the company that they are trying to work out and trying to find the right people for it. at the moment its 5 weeks of garanteed work, but if I dont have the right skills, then it mightnt work out. But they will love me!! I start whenever I can get Avaleigh in to day care and I can do what ever hours that I want.

[~*Niadalla*~]

V congrats on the job. Good luck!

Sacha, thanks for that. Lach has a little bit of eczema too, so that might come in really handy. I will head to the chemist tomorrow.

Jan -How is Liam going with his sleeping?? Lach has slept at least 12 hours a night since last thursday night ( he slept 14 hours on saturday night). I hope this continues for a while

TOJ - SOrry to hear little ethan has been sick. Hope the pregnancy is going well.... you are making me very clucky here!

Jas- Hi! and bye! LOL

Well, Lach's constipation is not getting any better on Soy, so I think it's time for normal formula when the tin runs out tomorrow.
Weird thing is this morning, he did a poo and didn't make a sound. It was nice and soft (lol). I actually gave him some vaalia yoghurt yesterday ( which has probiotics in it) and am thinking that may have had an affect?? ANway, I will give him some yoghurt everyday, and see how we go.

On the wedding front, I only have boys suits (groomsmen only as Adam has his suit already), and my shoes to organise! Yay!!!
I am meeting with the caterer to go over the menu tomorrow, which is good, and I will be paying for the venue tomorrow. My dress will be ready early August, so I will have my shoes by then, and my invites are going out next week It's all starting to come together.
Just alcohol and some decorations to buy, but I am happy to stretch that out over the next few months.
I can't beleive it is only just over 3 months. eek!

Anyway, my dad's birthday tomorrow, and then Lachie turns 11 months old this week... exciting times!!
Hope all is well
