Oh Mel, that is bad news Hope Jack is ok and that you being home is good sign.

Sarah, that's great that Bayleigh is feeling better. Autie had a 4 week run of the runs when she was about 4m and nothing ever showed up - it is very frustrating isn't it?

Nicky, I forgot to mention you can also get baby probiotics at the chemist which Autie also takes for eczema and it helps along digestion too as a bonus. They aren't cheap but I feel they have helped a lot and it's easy to mix them with food or even just a little water as they have no taste. Also in the fridge

Actually Sarah, Bayleigh might benefit from those too. Just a thought.

Hi Jas Hope all is well at your place.

Congratulations on your job V. Hope it all works out - sounds nice and flexible and it's always good to be in on new things from the start.

Hi everyone else. BBL

Hi Ladies,

Well as I am feeling guilty at being so bad at personals I'm going to try hard so please forgive me if I miss you!

V, Hmm its wierd what your body can do hey? Congrats on the job! Do you think you will work 5days??

Sacha, Hi! Everything is going great here, Noah still has a bit of the cough left but its going! Just busy with everything planning his party too. On thurs night phil and I left Noah with mum so we could do some shopping with that and also over the weekend we got, 2 banners some hanging 1st birthday boy decoration things, a huge 1 helium balloon, 50 helium balloons and a tank all organised, a candle for his party and one for his actual birthday and also a couple of the things I will need for his cakes (am doing one for his bday and one for party)

We also bought for his gifts so far-

a bike (one with sunshade and straps to keep him in and the handle at the back that you can remove later)
2 balls (a baseball size one and a soccer ball sized one)
a wiggles dvd and a elmo dvd (first dvds for Noah)
a puzzle
a car shaped cushio/toy thing
and this toy that makes music and has a stck with a handle (to walk along and push)

so we are pretty organised

I also got this Geotech i think its called awesome toy for only $20 marked down from $70 its not until 2.5years but was such a bargain i can store it until christmas 2009

Sarah, I'm glad Bayleigh is feeling his usual self again, Noah has a black eye atm he fell and hit the frame of the wardrobe on sat, the things that happen to our bubs hey!

Nicky, Yay on the wedding front!! I can't wait will be very exciting to see pics etc! Haven't seen you in the ttc threads lately, are you still planning on trying next month??

Mel, I'm so sorry to hear about Jack the poor little thing I really hope he is alright sin't feel bad either if you are!!! as I said Noah currently has a black eye and well he's had quite a few bruises etc in his life these things happen and we do our best to protect our beautiful kids but we aren't superhuman!! and hey being human means cuts and bruises etc

Jess, Sorry to hear about Ethan I hope he's a bit better now, have you decided if you are find ing out the gender? sorry if you already told us? I've only kinda skimmed through some of the last posts!!

Jan, that is a very sad story about and would be very hard with this pregnancy! How long are you planning on bf for?

Well just to add a bit more news Phil and I are now ttc no2!!! We are being very relaxed though I am taking notice of the length of my cycles on ff but not temping or anything like that very occasionally using maybe baby to and now dtd any more than usual got preg 2nd month off the pill with noah and the 1st month I don't think I ovulated so who knows we will see how it all goes!! It is very exciting as well as a little scary!!

Hi everyone!

Long time no post.....but I have been reading so I'm not falling behind!

Just wanted to say to Mel that I hope Jack is ok and that I hope it wasn't too serious of a burn. to you.

All is good here, Oliver is doing really well. Can't believe my baby boy will be one in a couple of weeks though, where did the time go?

Will try and post a bit more soon.

Raels. xo

O.K. Firstly, congrats V on the new job, that's sounds exactly like what you needed. Hopefully you and Jason can now start to de-stress. Has avaleigh cut all those teeth yet. Jack cut 4 at once as well its so not fare for them.

Sacha, thanks for the thoughts.

Sara, I'm glad that bayleigh is now o.k, poor little man.

Well, what a day. Poor little Jack is now fast asleep, and it's definately good news he is home. He burnt his hand on our BBQ today. We had him under running cold water straight away, which hopefully saved him from 3rd degree burns. He has his arm in a splint, all dressed up with this new burns dressing, that only needs to be changed every 3 days. He has at the moment 2nd degree burns to his fingers and his palm, but they think he might have 3rd degree burns on his palm . They won't know for sure until friday, once the burns have settled. His poor little hand was all swollen, and blistered. But he was a trooper, and didn't nudge at all when they cut all his skin away, to dress it, all though it might have been due to the 3 doses of childrens morphine they gave him. That part was a little funny, within 5 minutes of the 3rd dose, he went from screaming to saying birdie, birdie, birdie, I was just glad he wasn't in pain anymore.

Anyway, so hopefully it's just 2nd degree burns and he won't need a skin graph. Although hopefully it's even better than first thought on firday and he will be all better with a couple of weeks.

It's definately tought us, that when the BBQ is on, kids are inside no matter what. Even if you talk all precautions, it just takes a split second, and they can be in danger.

I just hope he doesn't pay in the long run for our stupid mistakes. .

Wow, I missed a few posts during my attempt of personals, so now some more.

Jas, yey on TTC no.2. That's the best news. Just what I needed for a pick me up. I can't wait to hear the good news. Sounds like Noah is going to love all his presents.

Raels, thank you so much for thinking of us. I'm glad to hear that Oliver is doing so well. I can't believe either that they will soon be 1, time has gone so quick. I was just saying to Jem the other day, that it only seems like yesterday that we were all sitting around discussing who would be next to go, lol.

Jem, speaking of which how did Jesse go?

[razzle]

Mel, when Lexxen was 11 months old he burnt both of his hands on the oven door, climbing up to standing. It was awful. Luckily they were only superficial burns but I will never forget the scream that came out of his mouth and me having to 'peel' his hands off the oven door - I had it turned up really high to preheat it fast - so I know how you must be feeling right now. We ended up spending 3 days in the hospital as they were worried about him getting an infection, and it needed to be dressed often. Hope Jack heals well, I'm sure he will.

[Meluchja]

Oh poor Lexxen, what a scare it must have been. I guess he is very lucky to have these new dressing on that only need to be changed every 3-7 days. They are some silver dressing that has little tiny tubes attached to an outer plug, that I drain with some fluid 3 times a day. The dressing when kept moist react with the silver and prevent infection and help to heal the wounds. They will change the dressing on friday, and will also then be able to tell how bad the burns are. Hopefully they will just need to be re-dressed without the splint (as Charlize is copping some mighty blows on her head) and he can come home again.

Anyway, I can't believe in 6 days he will be a big 1 year old. I'm looking forward to it now.

Hope everyone is well.

How is the new job V?

[Ngala]

Hey everyone!

I've been meaning to get on here to post but have been busy organising stuff for the start of work. I have Avaleigh starting daycare on Monday. We are going in tomorrow to check out the centre and sign the enrolment papers. I have her going to an ABC centre and am really anooyed they are raising their day fees but there are only ABC centres around my area and Jason wants to pick Avaleigh up when he finishes work. I've called centrelink to see what sort of benefits I can get and they said to call back when I know how much I am earning. So I start the job on Monday and have told them I can do Monday, Tuesday and wednesday - its great how they are letting me do what I want. I did say if the position needs me to change hours, then I will - but hopefully it wont!

Mel - Oh no about Jack! How horrible - I hope that everything will be OK when you go and re-bandage on Friday. The big 1 year old!!! How exciting - they grow so quickly. How are all the party plans coming along? Avaleigh has two teeth totally cut through, the other two are taking their time but should be out soon - she is looking very lop-sided at the moment!!

Jas - YAY on the TTC!!! Lets hope you guys get it first go - how exciting!!! I would love to go down that journey again but am happy to wait a little bit longer. Those present sound cool! Noah is going to be spoilt Probably like all they kiddies will be!!

Sarah - great to hear that Bayleigh is all better.

Well I better be off. I have a class at the gym nice and early tomorrow. I dont know how I am going to manage getting myself and Avaleigh ready in the mornings - going to be interesting!
