Happy Birthday Jack!!!!!!!
It's going to be a huge month. :)
Back another time for personals.
Happy Birthday Jack :hooray:
Hope you have a great day together Mel.
Hi girls, thought I would let you know, that I *think* I am pregnant.
It's onyl VERY early days, but I have taken 4 HPT's and all of them have come back with very faint positives. Also, I have been charting this month, and my temp is still up at 13 DPO. I have no idea if the temp means anything, as this is the first time I have ever used FF, but yeah.
If there are any FF guru's in here, let me know what you think.....

Anyway, Lach is teething really badly. There are so many teeth that look like they are about to break through. He has been grmupy like this for a few weeks now. I really hope somehting happens for the poor boy soon.
And right on cue, he isn't happy.
BBL.
xxoo
Just quickly popped in to say...
:hooray: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK :hooray:
:cheer: HAPPY BIRTHING DAY MEL:cheer:
Nicki- How exciting! It sounds like Congrats are in order!!
V- That's great that Avaleigh went well and daycare and that you had a great first day!
Hello to everyone else!
Hi Girls
Have been MIA lately coz my computer got a virus and pretty much shut down on me GRRR. Just a quick post to say
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY JACK
V- Congrats on the new job, sounds like its going well.
Nicky- Your charts looking good, plus the 4 faint HPT positives, sounds to me like your pregnant....How exciting
BBL for more personals, Hope eveyone is well
Hi Ladies, thank you all for the Happy Birthday wishes for Jack. He had a great day, apart from the hospital visit, which left him a little upset. But, good news is that two of his 4 burnt fingers have healed, and he might only need day surgery to do his skin grafts but might be a chance that it could be longer. Looks like it's going to get done friday morning, so if all goes well, we will be back home by tea time. Fingers crossed. The only bad news was that the burn over his palm, hasn't changed at all, meaning that most likely all of the nerves were burnt as well. So when they do the graft they will have to removed the top layer of skin where the burn is before they place the grafted part on. Hopefully that will do the trick.
Nicky, wow, that's great news. Have you worked out an EDD yet? That's very exciting, good luck with the confirmation.
V, have you peed on a stick yet? lol :) I'm so glad, that Avaleigh went well at Daycare, they sound lovely there. Let us know how tomorrow goes.
Once again ladies, thank you all so much for your lovely words for Jack on his birthday and on my birthing day,;)
Hi all!
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK!! Mel I am so sorry about what has happened with Jack's hand. He sounds like he is being a trooper! That's great that two of the fingers have healed! Go and have a few wines to celebrate!!
Well i am so behind i dont even know where to start! Veronica,congrats on the job and i am glad both yours and Avaleigh's first days were good ones!! Nicky it sounds like there is alot happening in your world! A baby! WOW! I am glad Lach is sleeping well now but i hope his teeth come through quickly for both your sakes!! Sacha, i am glad Autie's party went well and i imagine she was very spoilt!! I am so glad she is sleeping better for you too! Danielle, what a shocking run with illnesses! I hope Oscar is ok, poor little poppet!! HMMMM, WHAT ELSE??? Sorry i have missed heaps!
We are going well! Lucas is being a good little man for his mummy! We have just been so busy with moving that we are just starting to get back on our feet!! He has lots of teeth still coming (including a molar!) and isnt walking on his own yet but cruises around with his trolley! Lots of tanties happening too, sometimes i just have to laugh at him! He is loving cows milk in a cup, he sculls it and wants more! Pretty funny considering all the dramas we have had with bottles.
I went to the funeral of my friends little twins a couple of weeks ago, it was a lovely service but just devastating. She is not coping well at all, as you can imagine. It is so hard to know how to help but she wont go to counselling. So tragic.
Sorry i have missed so much! I will try and keep up! Have to go and see who wins Australia's Next Top Model!
Hi Ladies,
Sorry I haven;t posted for a while have been quite busy and we are moving on the 11th/12th of July so will be a very busy month for us!!

Well i have been so busy in the last week or so i have been baby sitting for friends and taking our puppy RUSTY to and from the Vet had to take him in to be mircochipped and desexed(he wasnt happy with me wen i picked him up from the vet) I have to take him back on friday to have the stitches out.... We are also in the process of having DD Chloe assessed for ADHD We did have her assessed back when she was in prep but the Paed left town before we got an answer... Her teacher is rather concerned as she has only handed in 2 completed pieces of work so far this year (i got abit peeeeeed when she told me this as it has taken her 2 terms to say anyhting to me about it) so now we have to wait to see a visiting PAED who has an interest in children with ADHD and he wont be here till August but we are goin to try her on some natural stuff in the mean time to see if that helps her concertrate at school.....
BAYLEIGH is goin great he has slept 12 hours for the last 5 nights (i stopped putting the sleepign bag on him at nights) so i think he may have been getting to hot
He started saying 3 new words this week Dog, Gone and car he walks round the house saying gone after we drop chloe at school its very cute
He is eating 3 jars for dinner 1 1/2 jars of vegies and 1 1/2 jars of meat and then has jelly afterwards hes starting to be a lil piggy LOL He eats more then me lol hes also going great on cows milk like a few other bubbas in here... We have a few scoops of formula left and once thats gone he will be on full cows milk......
I have started cooking for his party so far we have 37 People coming so far alot havent rsvp yet but they have till the 16th we are lookin at around 50 or so coming so i have lots of food to cook LOL
Im getting my car detailed tomorrow (my baby brother is a car detailer) as we have put it up for sale as i want to upgrade We were looking at a FORD terriotry turbo but DP didnt get the promotion at work so we wouldnt be able to really afford it and try and save money to but new furniture wen we move into a our house in sept so now we are lookin at a BA falcon station wagon i just cant decide wat colour i want lol DP wants black but i want burgandy btu DP thinks black looks TOUGHER with 19" wheels lowered and tinted windows LOL
It will be sad to see my car go but ill love driving a newer car lol Not that my car now is really that old its only 11 years old (EL futura 7 seater S/Wagon)
ANyway i think i have talked enough rubbish LOL
Hope everyone has a great week and ill try and get back in here a lil bit more
Sorry if i missed anyone
Sarah
Thanks Jas, what a lovely idea!
Oliver is the 9th.
Hello to everyone, back tomorrow for personals.
Good idea Jas.
Oscar is the 27th :)
Hey everyone!!
I've only briefly been over the past posts.. its been a busy day!! I am not going on the BB during the day cause of work and I am handling it OK, no withdrawals - YET!! LOL
Nicky - you're chart is looking pretty good. I was a bit of a FF expert back when TTC Avaleigh. One thing I got to ask is if you are having solid 3 hr block of sleep before taking your temp? That is the most important thing.. The pretty steady temps from days 30 - 34 are great.. I think you are in for a great chance - plus those 4 positive HPTS!! Have they been getting steadily darker each day you do the test?? Check out my FF chart - 2096a5 Ovulation Charts - thats some crazy temps, body didnt know what it was doing. So yours compared to mine is awesome!!
Jas - great idea about the list!!
Now, to everyone that wants me to test - I WAS going to buy a HPT today after work when getting milk from the shops but I was rejected because Jason had no money on is card!! The lady at the checkout was really sorry about it because she saw I had the HPT but I said it wasnt her fault!!! So I'll probably get one tomorrow, but I'm telling you all - its going to be a negative!
I am going to pull Avaleigh out of daycare. She is enjoying it but it was just costing way too much!! Jason has been talking to his mum and she said she would love to take her the days I go to work and whatever days she cant do it, Jason's sister will do it. So it will work out a lot better cause I will have $400 in my pocket each week instead of $150!!
The month of our beautiful Bubbas 1st Birthday's!!!!
1st - Jack (MummyMel)Jess I know I missed you, what date is Ethan again?
6th - Autumn (Sacha)
7th - Olivia (Flossie)
9th - Charlotte (Jemima) Oliver(Olimoo)

23rd - Avaleigh (Ngala) Liam (Janno27)
24th - Bayleigh (Sarah)
25th - Tayah (Emma M)
27th - Oscar (Oshani)
28th - Lachlan (Nicky)
Bec what date is Xavier?
Nicky, YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! :dance::clap::dance::clap: You are UTD congratulations!!! Well will probably be testing tomorrow so I hope this is my month too and we will be in belly buddies together again!!!
V, Well maybe you will be joining us too?? Looking forward to hearing the results when you test tomorrow! And good job on getting family to watch Avaleigh much better to be able to keep more of your hard earned $$! And how good is it you get out for a bit of you time (isn't it funny before babies you time is the time you're not working - after babies working is you time) and then you still get to be home with Ava the other days!
Well girls, I just don't know. I am not feeling very confident today. I had a temp drop this morning, and now I am freaking out a little. I am still feeling quite sick and still have heartburn. I have made an appt to see my GP tomorrow arvo, so fingers crossed.
I hope that I find out friday... I will go mental if I don't.
Hi to all, sorry for selfish post.
Oh, I hope everything is fine Nicky. I don't know much about temping while TTC, but fingers crossed for you that your doc appointment will bring good news.
V, any news yet???
Jas, good luck with your testing as well.
I must say all this TTC and maybe babdies, is making me feel a little envious and jealous. But I look at the two I have already and I feel all better. They are just both so perfect. But I'm still jealous, ;)
Oh Nicky, I am sure it will all be fine so much can effect temping I would just trust those two lines - two lines=pregnant!!! Hope everything goes well with the gp though!
Mel, are you sure you are done? or wouldyou consider a third?
Hi girls! Finally have had time to sit down and post and my computer has decided to have a fit so hopefully this works!
Jas - fantastic idea on the birthday list! I cannot believe they are all turning one. This time last year we would of all been little waddling pregnant ladies - except Mel. What an amazing year it has been!
Mel - So glad Jack had a good day for his birthday and that everything went well at hospital. Haven't had a chance to say how sorry I was that it happened. They are just so quick at this age - yesterday Tom found a can of flyspray (have no idea where he got it from) and sprayed it. Thankgod it was pointed away from his eyes but I just couldn't believe how quickly it happened.
Nicky - :dance: are order prehaps? Certainly sounds like it to me. I know absolutely nothing about temping etc - but I do think 4 faint tests are a pretty good sign. I never had a strong positive on mine and I was definiately pregnant. Let us know how you go xx
V - glad you are enjoying work. Daycare is so expensive - excellent news about Jason's mum looking after Avaleigh. So much nicer to have money in your own pocket!
Jan - I am drooling over your cooking..
Megan - so nice to hear from you! I have been wondering how you were going. So sad about the funeral and that your friend won't have counselling. I guess all you can do is be there for her if she needs you. I had to laugh about Lucas loving milk. Cheeky monkey.
I think I have run out of time for any more personals.. A quick update on how everything is going here - birthday preperations are full steam ahead. We are having two parties - god help us, but thankfully both only small. The night of T's birthday we will have all DH's family here and then the sunday after, have all my family (they live a few hours away) and some friends. I haven't really thought about food too much which I need to do. I keep adding to the present pile - naughty I know but can't help it. Yep, I have pushed my luck here - better be off to play with the boy. Will try to come back later.
Quick question - what does everyone give for lunch?
Hi Girls
Jas- Thanks for the birthday list, its a great idea. Good luck testing tomorrow
Mel- Thats great that 2 of Jacks fingers are healing already
Sacha- WOOHOO for Autie taking her 1st steps
Sarah- How exciting to be getting a new car, we are thinking of selling ours (xr8) for something smaller coz of the fuel costs
V- Cant wait to hear your test results... Thats great that you have family to look after Avaleigh while you work, I would love to find some casual childcare work again but the cost of putting Tayah into childcare would not make it worth it...
Nicky- I had a high temps and then a drop when I was pregnant with Tayah, then the day after my drop it went back up again. So stay positive and il keep my fingers crossed for you
Em- I hear you on adding to the present pile, everytime we go shopping I seem to be buying more presents but its so hard not to.
Hello to everyone else
Jas, sometimes I would say I would love to have a few more, 4-5 total, I always thought I would growing up. Then some days, I know that 2 is my limit. I guess DH has decided for us that 2 is it, he is definate that he doesn't want anymore at this stage anyway. But he is 40 next year so I can sort of see his point of view. But I feel totally blessed with the 2 we already have, so I will adjust, for now anyway ;)
Em - Lucas tends to live on cheese and vegemite sandwiches at the moment!!
Jas - Good work with the list!!
Nicky - You have to be pregnant!!
Em - most commonly we do avocado on bread/toast, vegemite on bread/toast, cheese slice (the Bega cheese slices, sooo yummy, better than Kraft IMHO). Today we did baked Beans on toast for the first time, not a great hit, but I'll give it a few more goes before I give up. Sometimes soup - pumpkin or vegie w pasta (so I guess minestrone..) or a chickpea one that I do. The pumpkin flavour is particularly enjoyed. Am thinking of trying hommous on bread, although personally hommous is not for me, so I won't be upset if liam also doesn't like it. . Also, cream cheese & tuna sandwich is on my list of things to get around to trying. And I try to get some natural yogurt into him most days, mixed with cooked up apple. I use the Jalna brand of yogurt as I reckon it's the creamiest & yummier than the other natural yogurts I've tasted. Also, I found a preservative free dried mango slices for a treat (from Health food store), which I cut into 1cm squares, eat most of myself & occasionally give to Liam. He has also taken to dates quite well, which make a very handy snack for when we're out & about, I cut each date into 6-8 pieces so that they fit straight into his mouth, rather than being spread everywhere. I've also come across some snap freeze dried apple slices that would be good for a snack, but a bit like the mango, Liam hasn't seen much of these yet...
Apologies to everyone else for no personals tonight. I wasn't planning to do anything other than a quick read through, but Em asked about food & I couldn't help myself. Will be back tomorrow though, when it's not so late...
Hi girls,
Just thought I would update you all and let you know that I am no longer pregnant. Obvisouly the little one did not implant. AF arrived this morning with cramps which is very unusual.
Anyway, not too big of a deal. Serves me right for testing early! LOL
Thanks for all your wishes and good luck JAS!!!! I hope you get a BFP today!
Hugs all
Good morning everyone!!!
Nicky - sorry to hear that AF turned up.. those silly hpts! Better luck next time! You know know when you O so you can BD around that time and get pg this cycle - g ood luck!!
Jas - good luck with testing!! I hope its a positive for you.
Well I feel like adsolute $h!t this morning. I am not sure if it is because I slept in til 7.30 - I know not really a sleep in but it is when you get up at 5.30 every morning! So i woke up feeling weak and real headachy. And we didnt have a good night last night cause Avaleigh brought home her first cold from daycare. I got home at 5 last night and she looked soo tired, I wasnt sure if she had slept or not during the day and Jason said daycare didnt say anything. So I gave her a BF and she went to sleep for about 2.5 hrs and then woke up all snotty and with all gunk in her eye. So cleaned her eye up, gave some nurofen and we played until 9.30pm when I finally managed to get her back to sleep. She is OK today, is sick, and just gave some nurofen. Isnt it soo funny how much babies love that stuff??!! Her eyes light up every time she sees it!!
We got the kmart toy sale in the letter box yesterday and we are going to go and put a whole heap of toys on sale!! This is what we are going to have a look at..
Sing & spin alphabet zoo
learning drum
counting maracas
animal sounds guitar
pots $ pans
laugh & learn piggy bank
pull & spin caterpillar
laugh & learn puppy
learning bird bath
laugh & learn cookie shape surprise
press & go train
gobble & go hippo
activity table (stand up kind)
sort & learn car
bright lights ball
busy ball popper
my little pony
flipout sofa
kid's sofa chair
royal step stool potty
LOL! There are a heap of stuff there!!! I dont think we will be getting everything, we'll get her the real good ones and then whatever we dont get we can tell friends and family to get if they ask us.
Anyway, I better go and spend time with my daughter. These days off are going to be precious now!
Guys..
AF is arriving... I've been struck down with some wicked cramps and spotting... I think this is going to be one shocking visit from AF.. that would probably explain why I was feeling likecrap this morning. I feel like calling Jason and telling him to come home and look after Avaleigh cause I was want to curl up in bed, but I wont. He'll prob be coming home soon anyway cause its going to rain
better go - avaleigh wants attention and lunch
