Happy Birthday Elliott & Tom

I hope the two of you and your mummies are having a great day.

V, OMG that does sound strange. A little too strange. How could you not know for 4 months that your baby had died?? I don't know if it is possible to ovulate whilst still pregnant, even if the baby had died, her hormone levels still would not have returned to normal. My friend had a blighted ovum and it took 6 months for her levels to finally return to normal and that was only after a D&C, her doc told her that it would be impossible for her to concieve while her levels were still high. And that they would not return until all the remains were removed. But having said this, maybe there is a very small chance that it is possible. Let us know what you find out.

BBL, just about to head out for a walk.

HaPPy first birthday Tom and Elliot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was also my original due date. Boy how time flies!


V- that sounds pretty outrageous to me... I'd have alot of trouble beleiving that.

[tears_of_joy]

A very early good morning ladies I seem to be having a bit of insomnia tonight and just cant sleep! Its sooo quiet lol ethan and DH are sound asleep. I think im a bit excited about ethans birthday party tomorrow too.

Veronica- It does all sound a bit strange hey, hopefully she has been truthful though. Let us know how things go. Also i have a question for you... That rash type thing that avaleigh got that you thought may have been chicken pox, did that end up just being a viral rash? The reason i asked is that ethan looks like he has chicken pox all over his chest and belly but i know its not and i thought as he has had illnesses that its just viral. What did you do for avaleigh's? and did it take long to go away?

Well im going to go and fold some washing and watch tv for a bit and hopefully go back to bed soon Hope you all have a lovely day.

Happy Birthday Noah!

Jas, hope you have a day full of good memories and make some more

V, that does sound a bit weird, but weird stuff happens all the time I guess. I wouldn't have a clue really. You would think the body would try to get rid of something organic and dead inside - or at least there would be pain or sickness of some sort. And how would a new embryo implant in a place where that was going on?

Jess, poor Ethan. Is he suffering from his rash? Or is it just there?

Well it seems bayleigh is eating about the same as all the other bubies
He eats Breakfast 2-21/2 weetbix and a slice of toast
Snacks- Sliced Fruit, Saltanas, Cheese, Biscuits, Crackers
Lunch- Meat Sandwich, Fruit in Jelly
Dinner- 1 jar mashed vegie 1 jar Homemade pie meat or fish or grilled chicken breast... and jar of fruit in jelly and then he will eat off our plates while we have our dinner and then he will have drink a 200ml bottle just before bed
Health nurse told me yesterday at bayleighs 12mth check that he should only be having around 60ml of dairy now... has anyone else been told this?????????????

Jan- the mango sounds like a good idea i mite go and get some next time im in town near the health food shop

Sasha- Bayleigh is only LIL also but he eats as much as my 8 yr old DD and she can eat heaps also....

Mel- Hope the you feel better soon... How's Jack's hand coming along????

Danielle- I want to go and see The dark Knight.... Everytime i see heath on the telly or see naything about the movie i get shivers down my spine... Its a bit strange.... LOL


Well we had Bayleighs 12mth check at the health nurse yesterday morning... Health nurse told me i have a very cheeky healthy funny 12 mth old. LOL He has only put on 500 grms in 2 months so he weighs 8.8kg but she not worried about it as he is a very very active baby and is always on the go..
I think i have now got everything for bayleighs party i went and got the chicken breast yesterday so now i can make the chicken nuggets and i can now finish of the pinwheels that i need to finish and start making some of the cup cakes for the jelly cakes... Im goin to making the cake on friday when my step sister arrives from melb....
Tomorrow night we are goin out for tea with friends that cant make it to the party of saturday and we have asked DP EX wife if we could have DStepS for a 2 hours and she actually agreed and agreed with out any stipulations(sp) (normally if we ask for a few xtra hours she says we have to repay her back as we are asking for time in HER time with DstepS or she just says no coz its her time with him) so we were all taken aback.... but im so happy he gets to spend time with Bayleigh for his birthday coz when bayleigh was born DStepS didnt get to meet bayleigh till bayleigh was nearly a week old as his mum wouldnt let us bring DStepS to the hospital to meet him

Well enuff of me having a winge LOL
Hope everyone has a great day

Happy Birthday Liam and Avaleigh!!!!!

Congratulations to the wonderful Mummies

Mel, I hope everything starts to look up over there! We are so busy here still finishing off cleaning etc at our old place have to give the keys in on Tues and I can't wait to have it all done and dusted and then I can finally finish unpacking at this end!! All our stuff is out the live properly just a lot of clothes and heaps of extra bits and pieces etc.

Emma, You have got to be kidding me!! What a rude rude rude lady you should have said something...definitely don't go back to her!!

Sarah, Well I have read that they should have between 150-450mls of milk per day Noah is still on 3 x 240ml or 720mls per day. And they start eating more food. I will have to look at his diet and change it, he's only 1 and 5days so not too stressed that I haven't done it yet. So many changed. 3-4hrly feeds, then no night feed, then 4X bottles per day, then add solids then swap 2 3meals per day then add snacks then drop milk etc etc Glad it has worked out for you with dss at least this once!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVALEIGH

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM

Enjoy your special day together

Mel- Hope you and your family are feeling better soon.

Sacha- Woohoo on Auties walking, hope the sleep situation gets easier for you

Jess- How is Ethans rash? Did it turn out to be chickenpox?

V- Tayah has both mashed and whole food. As for the self feeding she is giving it a go but its VERY messy.

Jan- Yay for Liam working out how to drink from his sippy cup. Tayah still wont drink from hers, I have to hold just a normal cup for her to get her to drink any water.

Tayah had her 12month check up this week and she now weighs 9.4kg and is 75cm long. The ECHN that I seen was so rude and was having a go at me about everything. When we first got there Tayah was walking towards a toy that was under a table and was about 2 steps off hitting her head so I said 'watch your head Tay' and the nurse fully got up me about it, saying how was she ever going to develop spacial awareness if I am telling her to watch her head and that it wont kill her if she bumps her head from time to time. She also said I shouldnt offer her choices like saying 'do you want a drink or would you like some more food etc that I should just say 'have a drink' and 'eat some more' and that choices shouldnt be given until she's a toddler. Then when we were talking about Tayah's tongue tie and I mentioned that I had a tongue tie which was snipped, she asked if she could see it and so I poked my tongue out and she noticed my tongue was pierced and said 'Did your mother want to slap you in the face when you got that done?' I couldnt beleive it, what F-ing business is it of hers whether or not I have my tongue pierced. She said a whole lot more too but I want bore you with it.

Well I have finally got everything I need for Tayah's 'pink' party on Saturday and I am so excited. I think I may have gone a little overboard with all the decorations that I have bought but I couldnt help myself. Once I got into the party shop its like someone else took over and just kept buying. Ah well she'l only turn 1 once.

Hi to anyone I missed
