Happy First Birthday
Charlotte
Oliver
Lucus

And Happy Birthing Day to the Mums!!
Hope you all had/have a great day.

Well it looks like today is the morning for our babies playing up! I've just had to deal with a sooky Avaleigh for the past 2 hours. The poor thing is putting up with everything these days - eye drops for the conjuctivitis, wiping of the runny nose and now a really flemmy cough. Poor thing is not happy! She has been waking a lot during the night coughing and works herself up so much her breathing is really fast, so I have had to cuddle her until she calms down. Jason had to bring her in to bed this morning when I left for the gym and just stroke her head for her to stay calm. We've just had a fight with her cereal and bottle this morning.. both didnt go down well and now she is fast asleep in bed.

Avaleigh spent 3 days with her grandma and auntie this week and I have been told that she went really well. I am so pleased that we dont need to pay for day care! And Avaleigh has been coming home so tired from all the playing that I have had her in bed by 7pm. AND I got paid last night and have money - YAY!! Most went on bills but I am oging to buy myself a new handbag today and then the last of it will probably be put on the credit card.

Ok some personals...

Lis - Somethimes investigating things like that is a mistake!! I try not to read in to things too much, surely if there was such a risk like that the doctors would need to advise us of the possible risks but like Sacha said, I think we are pretty safe here..

Jessika - you seem to be having a prety bad run with the illnesses/sickness these days!! I hope that everything clears up and no one will be sick or have anything anymore

Jem - Oh no about Charlotte being so sick! Not a very good way to spend a birthday and I hope she is feeling better now.

Jan - YAY for the nights sleep!! Have you been getting more full night sleeps since then?

Sacha - Oh! Autie is illergic to peanut butter!! At least you know now and she can get tested for other things too. We tried peanut butter on Avaleigh a few months back and I was a bit worried but nothing happened to her, she loves the stuff now!!

Well better go.. today is cleaning day so I better attempt to do something cause it hasnt been done for a while cause of Avaleigh being sick..

WOW thanks everyone! You all got in here so early!! My little boy must have had a big year as he slept in until 8.45am this morning! He has never slept that late before, nothing like a big sleep in on your birthday!!

Well i have mothers group arriving in 10 min for a little party for lucas and then the bigger party tomorrow! Needless to say i probably wont pop in for a couple of days!

Jem - You poor thing! I hope Charlotte is doing ok!!

I cant believe all the hospital visits everyone seems to be having lately....very scary being a mummy!

Well cant believe my little boy is ONE!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCAS

Hope you have a great day together Megan.

Quick update with Jack, the grafted skin has taken, yippee!!!! So if all continues to go well he should be dressing free by friday next week. So we should be down to just the splint and the pressure gloves once they get made. We were so happy when the took the dressings off, I must admit though, I thought I was going to vomit at a few stages of them cutting the excess grafted skin away and blotting the blood, I don't have a strong stomach...

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that a lot of our babies are sick ATM, I have another 2 to add to the list, they both have colds and Jack and I have the loo virus too Not fun.

I hope everyone has a great weekend, I'm sure it's filled with lots of parties. Can't wait to hear about them all.

I'm going to try and upload some photos of our kids onto the BB gallery once, my normal computer is up and running again.

Take care all.

Just quickly, here is the article about vaccines Lis. It discusses a court case in America in which the government has conceded a vaccine caused autism.

Hi ladies

*scuffs shoes bashfully* Is anyone welcome to join? My DS Elliott turns 1 on 17 July, same as Tom I think? I've been a forum lurker for a while, not just on BB but EB, M&B etc and really like the community style that BB has. Now that Elliott's turning 1 (OMG), I'd really like to jump into a group if that's ok?

This is more nerve-wracking than starting at a new school!!

Um, a bit about myself & my little family:
My name is Ami, and I'm 25. I've been with my DH Tim since I was 18 and he was 21, and we were married in October 2006. While on our honeymoon we discovered I was pregnant, due on 5 July 2007. On 17 July 2007 I still hadn't delivered and was induced and gave birth to my DS Elliott Trevor, weighing in at a very healthy 10lb 14oz. At this stage I should probably tell you that I'm very proud of the fact that I only had gas, and more than a couple of stitches! Elliott's been a champion breastfeeder, and is still on 3 BF's a day. For the first six months of his life he was a nightmare to get to sleep and eventually we went to Tresillian where we got some help getting him into a routine. He's a pretty good sleeper now, sleeping through from about 7pm - 7am, give or take. He has one sleep a day for about 2 hours after lunch. Not sure what else is relevant... But would really appreciate feedback or just a hi!

Looking forward to "meeting" you, if you'll have me!

HELLO and Welcome to the thread Ami!! We love newbies so welcome aboard!!! I'll give a proper intro about myself tomorrow cause right now I am off to bed, but just wanted to say HI!!

[Meluchja]

Hi Ami & Elliott, and a big welcome to this group You will love being apart of it. So very helpful in many ways. First of all I just wanted to say congrats on Elliott and his arrival OOOUUUCCCCHHHH!!! You must have been born to birth babies, lol. What a great job you did baking him Glad to hear he is great bub. I have family that live in Camden, it's a lovely area. Anyway I hope you stick around, I'm sure the other girls would agree the more the merrier.

Jess, Hows the bump growing hunny? Any pics to show us yet? PLEASE..............

V, How is work going? Is Avaleigh any better yet?

Us, well Not fun times ATM. I've been us since 5am with Charlize vomitting all through her bed, then ours, stupid me for doing that one though I'm just hoping it was her cough that caused her to vomit and it's not another different bug. Jack's loo virus has eased up, but mine is still going strong, . Anyway Jack is still asleep, which is good, as his sleeping has been terrible lately. And I mean terrible. The doctors and OT's at the hospital have told me to try him on some pherganunk (sp?) to help him with his night terrors. And last night he only woke once at 4am. So a big improvement. So will probably continue for a few days then take him off it and see if it has done the trick. His next appointment at the hosptial is on Mon for dressing change, so will see how he is then.

Anyway must go, BBL.

A BIG belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to LUCAS! Hip Hip Hooray, and woo hoo for the big sleep in! Hope you had a really special day.

And a big Hi to Ami & Elliott - welcome to our group. Your little man is very gorgeous, it must be the thing for July babies

And I hear you on the tantrums!! Liam goes mental if he sees a remote and then isn't allowed to play with it (cos he chews it mostly), or my mobile. Or if Pat or I go into our middle room & don't take him - he virtually throws himself on the floor. Which is kind of funny, but not. And the hitting - like where does this come from, it's not like he's sees this on a regular basis to copy from.

Anyway, he's awake, so I'll have to come back later for better personals - so much to catch up on when you're not on here for a day or so

Hi Everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekends. I need to make the most of my weekends now that every day is not a weekend!

Mel - Awww at your sick bubbas. I hope that they get better soon! Avaleigh threw up all over me the other day with one of her coughing fits after she had just had a heap of milk! Work is going OK, it was a bit boring on Thursday because the full time lady didnt want to give me anything to do, seems to look like she wants to keep all her tasks to herself! I mentioned this to the other part timer and she said she wants to change that and give us all proper roles so i think we are going to talk to our boss soon.

And Avaleigh is still sick. Just left with a horrible cough and a bit of a runny nose. I am so upset I cant do anything for the cough. We were up at midnight and 4am with coughing fits but then slept in until 8am. I hope the cough goes away soon cause its making her one cranky bubba!! All that I had yesterday was cries cries cries - was driving me insane! Jason looked after her when he finished work so I had a bit of a break, but still heard the cries!

I thought that it would be nice for us to all introduce ourselves so Ami gets up to speed on the group?? I'll go first..

My names Veronica and I am 23. My husband is Jason and he is 27 and we just got married last December. My pregnancy went pretty well except for about 20kg of weight gain and high blood pressure towards the end! Avaleigh was induced 2 days early cause of my high blood pressure - I had a 6 hour labour, epidural and stitches. Avaleigh weighed 7lbs11oz (I think!). Avaleigh is a breastfeeder too but since starting work 2 weeks ago we are down to 2 breastfeeds and the rest are cow's milk. She is a pretty good baby - we have 6 teeth now, the last 4 came out all at the one time! At the moment she is sick so not a happy chappy..

well right on cue - she's crying!! gotta go
