Yep Sarajo, you're right, positive is good!! Although we really will have to log on alot more often to keep up!!
Just took tilly to a swimming lesson ,looks like theyr'e going to cost so much coco will have to forgoe gymbaroo for the time being. Will just have to get my business booming so I can afford all the kids activities!! xo
my god
i joined the dec 05 group a little while ago and went on a net break and just came back and to find this
but i wont be coming back to this crap
i thought hte group for each month is to see what our babies the same age were up to ask questions etc but this is ridiclus way to big and way less personal
we wont feel comfortable posting persona things now and its to hard to remember everyone
so seeya
Oh dear. Can't we all just give this a go? I'm sure if it gets too much they will do something about it. We can atleast try it for a bit before saying how awful it is and leaving, can't we?
no i cant sorry:
MMm I must admit, I dont get a chance to get on much and when i do i seem to be ignored by my old group. But i say" whatever!!" I posted not that long ago and nothing not even one reply. So I am over it!!!!
BUT i will still use BB often its great and has helped on so many fronts.
XXXXXXXXX
Ok, well each to their own. I'm willing to give it a go though. Bit disappointing really :( I promise we July girls don't bite.
SILLY ME i have not changed my ticker!!! Hannah was born on the 20/12/05 !!! I am not complaining at the merge I just felt like a whinge and today was the day!!!
Lol Fletchie...I must admit I thought the same thing Rach....think my Sammy would drag your little Hannah by her toes!!!
Jo
Awwww...Rach I'm sorry you felt we Dec girls ignored you! I always tried to remember to post a 'hi' to everyone but I did often forget people. :(:
I think although some of the reactions have been a bit explosive, we all seem to be feeling overwhelmed. I love that I'm going to get to know more of you lovely ladies but as Meg said, we've together in our own little groups for almost two years so it's very full-on to be thrust into a bigger group all of the sudden.
Mods, I just want to point out that we appreciate the work you do and the time you put in.:clap: I dont think any of us intend any negativity towards any of you. More than anything, we're just surprised. It might have been nice to get a 'hey girls, at the end of this thread we're gonna merge you with the Junies through til Dec buddies', but it's not like you guys have been planning to spring this on us or anything like that *L*. Not to worry though, we're all tough Mummas and I'm sure we'll cope.
I am going to apologise in advance. I was shocking at doing personals for 10, I don't think it's going to happen for 20! *LOL* :redface:
Rach, NO WAY, we love you! I have missed you heaps. maybe it's because (like me in the past few months) when you read over, there's so much to read that you have to skim.
I always notice too that people like Beck say hi to you in her posts (im too slack to do personals). But don't ever think we ignored you. I nkow for a fact that myself, Kate,Mel, Sarajo and Beck missed you HEAPS. We also miss Christie heaps too.AND leanne!! xo
Fletch, thank you for your comments on coco. I will go and check out your pics now, it will be nice to have new people to meet. I am open to it, just was shocked initially. By no means did that mean I didn't WANT to meet new people on BB. I think everyone should just move on and let people react exactly how they want to.I think the other tricky thing with email, posts, texts etc is that you just never know the exact context things are said in. Someone might mean something quite harmlessly, but it is taken totally wrong. That's happened to me with texts many times....
Gotta run, dinner for Tilly. Coco actually ate really well tonight. Go figure. She also slept well this morn??!! oxoxo
PS Beck you are GOOD at personals, me on the other hand?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea I know Beck leaves little Hi's for me. Thanks I must say it did seem like that. I have missed you guys too.
We will get use to this merge!!
See ya soon
Fletch i will change my ticket after MISSY MOO goes to bed!!
Gotta run Hannah is ripping the study apart!!
OK this is very odd but HELLO to everyone in here.
I am Tracey (26) mum to Jordan who is 15 months. I am currently working on DH to TTC #2 so I lurke in the TTC whilst BFing threads. I work PT which is nice some of the time. I am a mad Home and away, neighbours and all saints fan. I LOVE my tele which is good seeing as I work for a paytv company.
I am sorry I couldnt even start with personals as there are so many names to remember.
Nikki - Playgroup is all set for Tuesday 11-1 the lady rang me to confirm everything, I dont know if I posted that in the old thread or not.
Well today DH took day off to recover from the tummy bug I passed onto him and we have had the laziest day. Jordan slept in till 8am (shock horror) it was fantastic. He has only had the 1 sleep today and is currently so cranky but we are trying to hold him out till tea time and then quick bath and bed.
Take care everyone. OCT 2005 MUMS AND BUBS big hugs and hellos.
Rach,
I'm sorry too, if you felt that I ignored you. *SIGH* To tell you the truth, I felt the exact same way - that you ignored me!! I think we got our wires crossed, so I'll start fresh!
Hi Rach! I'm Tiff, I'm really a November girl so I didn't really get to know you in the belly buddies! Looking forward to hearing more from you. Hannah is GORGEOUS! What is she up to? Ivy and Noah are cruising the furniture atm, with no sign of taking any steps or standing alone.
Hi everyone else, it's REALLY nice to meet you all, see some familiar faces in there too - Wardygirl, Fletch, B456, Tigergirl.
Right - Where to start?
Hi I'm Renee 29 mother to Marnie 13months and pregnant with a 13 week old little????? :)
I'd love to stay - but I don't even know where to start.
Yep - no personals but it is nice to chat with other mums and there bubs.
Sorry to see you go Dani - you were terrific with your personals (which I could never seem to be!) I will miss you and your stories about Jett!
Looking forward to catching up with everyone.
I think that perhaps we should see what happens but please don't take offense to people who wanted to stay together in their thread. I think it goes to show what a good site Kelly has created - wonderful people who truly care about each other. I would think it is a compliment that people wanted to stay together.
Now I have to find out how to get to this site as I used the thread from Dacholaster (so didn't get that right SORRY!) in the moderator's thread.
YEAH! I think Marnie finally went to sleep - we are going out for tea tonight as my brother is moving to Kalgoorlie for work (Sob - love my bro!) and Marnie has decided that she no longer needs a sleep in the morning and goes to bed at 12.
Oh dear wrote to soon - she's up.
I am sorry Rach you felt that noone spoke to your. Admittedly I too felt like this at the beginning (and sometimes still do!) I hope you enjoy this one more.
How did your first week of work go Tiff? I start on Monday (we have heat week out here so school starts a week late!) And my little princess is off to her first day of Family Day Care.
Any tips for working mums would be greatly appreciated.
Renee- Sorry your brother is moving away, so sad when you're so close :( I hope you will be able to keep in touch lots.
*LOL* B456, well I'm in Brisbane so I won't be gatecrashing your party!....*looks around naughtily*
Sheesh - there's an explosion of hormones in here today!!!!!! Like everyone else, i too am finding this change a bit overwhelming...and am a little sad to have to cut those August babies apron strings - but there's no way i'm gonna chuck a tanty about it all. I come to BB to escape the crap in the world and find extra friendship and support, not negativity.
A change is as good as a holiday -and we're all adults and i'm sure will cope with whatever the mods decide is best for this site. Personally i'm thrilled to be given the chance to get to know others better (especially Tiff, Bec, Kate...) who i've chatted with in other threads but have never really got to know.
Yep - doing personals will be a challenge but i'm sure people won't be offended if we decide to keep our individual comments to those we know the best and have something personal to say to (for the time being anyway).
So please lets have BB go back to the lovely place it has always been (i'm far too hormonal/emotional to keep reading all these negative posts - sorry :().
P.S - just wanted to say "hi" to Rach as well - looking forward to chatting more!!!
ETA: Brooke - yep i'm still on for yours on the 12th. Not sure if you have my email but Fletch does so she can pass it on :)
*yikes*
Think I'll just say hi everyone !!! gonna take me a while to get the hang of this atm.
Brooke, count me in too, just email me & let me know the details!!
Hi!
Kerrie - How funny the girls got into the sunscreen!! (well a funny story -not funny for you trying to clean it up!) I'm sure the year will fly by and you'll be p/g again before you know it!
Trace - Yeah on you both having a lazy day...Louis had a horror of a night tonight - he was so cranky he was just crying - and he was in bed by 7pm! I think because he was up earlyish and had swimming and we went for a walk he was just exhausted!
My hallway looks like a bombs hit it as I've emptied Louis' wardrobe into it...hmmm suppose I better start organising it all...I'm excited but it's such a BIG job...I swear I'm going to throw half of it out (well give it to the op shop anyway...)
Hope you're all well!!
WOW This is so funny its hard to believe its happening. There really is just to many of use. All I can do is LMAO @ it. Im willing to give it a go but I find it hard doing personal before let alone now. :rolleyes:
Anyway, Had a good day today. Callum ate most of his lunch without MONKEY:clap: and he had good sleeps and played all day out side. We have an under shelter bit which I have turned into his little area. He can get in and out ( it has a gate going out to the backyard which all I have to do is close it) and ive put some of his toys out there. Plus his thomas bike and another bike and wagon that he got for his bday. He was such a good boy today. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I think if we are all patient and try we could make this work. Well I hope as I dont want anymore ppls leaving. Dannnnnnnn come back. I love your personals tooooooo.
Well Melissa had her first day and loved it and seeing all her friends. Now she is glued to the TV....lol.... DH and FIL out back fixing the pool tiles and Callum in bed and me trying to cope with all this.LOL.
Well Im going to try some personals later. Maybe or I night just start again.
Hope you all well
Tiff how was your work. I asked that before but think you have missed it with all that is going on.
Chat later
bye
Kristie how cute is the photo Louise in this parker and blue beenie. Gee his eyes are dark. He is abit of a spunky. ;)
Ok im going out the back to take clothes off the line and I bet when I come back there will be 50 million post and ill get lost again....lol....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...HEHEH...LOL
Storm - Yay so looking forward to meeting you...and precious Angel of course!!!
Missy - big congrats on Callum eating another meal without his monkey :confetti:.
Kerrie - i think you'll be preg before you know it - keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Kristie - My whole house looks like a bomb's hit it right now!!!! Sigh - big cleaning day tomorrow. DH has been sick and i've been feeling off all day so that's my excuse ;)
Renee - Marnie is gorgeous! I've a friend who's due soon with her first. SHe's having a girl and Marnie is her no.1 name :)
Well -Ella has gone to bed now - phew...just wasn't my day with her today. She was good but when i'm feeling so blah i just don't have the energy or patience to keep up with her. Tia (bub in belly) has also been kicking up a storm ALL day today!!! It's really reassuring knowing she's already such a strong little thing. For those of you who don't know - at my 18wk scan it was discovered that Tia has a large VSD - hole in her heart and a narrowing of her pulmonary valve. We've since learnt that she'll need open heart surgery but fortunately not until 6-12 months. And our birthing outcome looks really positive as i can prob still have her at my local hospital, i can still trial a VBAC and she'll prob only stay in the NICU for several days. So things are looking bright :D
Hi Missy and Renee,
Work went really well. Thanks for asking after me. I got to catch a baby first up, so it was really a great entrance back into the midwifery world. She was standing to birth, so all I really did was bring the babe up to mum but it was so nice being there when this new life entered the world. Everyone was really kind and welcomed me back. So now I'm on night duty except for the education day and I have to do maths calcultaions!!!! Gawd, I hope I can remember, I flunked maths badly in school.
Good luck, Renee for you first day.
Wow - I've been "gone" all day long. Lots has happened while I've been away. Hmmm no way I can manage personals tonight. I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Kirsty (33) mummy to Fergus (Gussy) who's 18months old or 15 months corrected age. Fergus was due in October but was born in July. My waters broke (membrane prematurely ruptured) 6 weeks before Fergus was born, so we consider ourselves very lucky to have our little boy with us. He's currently meeting milestones as though he is an October bub so I've kept my Baby Buddies posts in the October thread. That is until now! LOL. We have a tough time with Fergus. He has a lot of ex-premmie complications. Fortunately none to serious. Since late October he has refused to eat or drink anything other than water, crayons and fingerpaint. So he has had a nasogastric tube inserted so we can push liquid food straight into his tummy. He has been tube fed since November.. Officially I am a corporate lawyer however am presently a full time SAHM. Getting up in the mornings and putting on a suit seems like a previous life. Nowadays I'm just happy to have ironed clothes on! he he
Looking forward to getting to know some of you better and continuing the friendship with those of you I already "know". Hope this big big big group can manage.
Gussy is now tucked up in bed telling stories to Big Bird and the Cookie Monster (who, in minature form, are sleeping with him this evening). Off to make dinner for DH and myself. Will check back in later.
Rae Sorry your feeling so unwell. Awwww you poor thing. Im sorry to hear about you babies heart and I know how worried you must be. My girlfriend, her little boy had open heart at 5 months. It was so horrible to see him like that but his is amost 2 now but still has a little hole in his heart. It was bigger then they thought. They are just keeping an eye on him. I dont know what to say but ill say a little prayer for you baby. But im sure all will be ok. Tecnoligy (bad speller sorry) is so good these days. Good luck hun!!!
Tiff WOW. How cool would that be to see a baby being born. I know we all been there but at that moment all we want is the baby out. LOL. Id love to see some one else in person give birth. Id cry for sure. Have to ask, do have you ever had sad new being a midwife. Stupid question I guess but just asking.
Im keeping an eye on the thread so I can keep up....lol:)
Kirsty that must be hard on you but he looks great in his ticker. Little cutie pie. Being here you see some amazing ladies. Like yourself, Tiff, Rae. Ive had it pretty good although I was reading about rae's unborn baby and still think ive got it good. Callum has to be check out for a heart murmur they picked up but im sure and hopeing all will be ok.
You ladies are soooooooooooo strong and my heart goes out to you all....
Rae Im sorry to hear about Tia's heart, but Im sure all will be well, like missy said, technology is so great these days. By the way, I LOVE Tia as a name! That was second on our list! I also love Ella, my god daughter is Ella.
Coco in bed, one down, one to go. Tilly has been testing this arvo, it's not her fault, Im just not feeling great.
Anyway, sleep well all and Im sure when I log on tomorrow I'll have alot of reading to do.Beats having to wait for someone to post though, i'd prefer it be busy than be quiet!
xoxo
Meg hope your feeling well tomorrow hun. Have a nice sleep. Oh and at least you can spell...lmao
Whoa!!What a huge thread!! Well, i'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!! Everything else has already been said re: busyness so i'll just get on with it..
I'm Christie(24) and have Owen(nearly 14 mths) and am very big and preg with no.2..Owen was breastfed until 6 mths when he weaned himself(turns out it was because i was preg!!)he has stopped having bottles about a mth ago and just drinks his milk from a cup morning and night..we switched him over into a toddler bed last week, which was surprisingly easy(just tried it on a day sleep and it went fine so we put him in at night too..he's never looked back)hes crawling and crusiing the furniture but not walking yet and chatters away constantly..and me,i'm just giant, uncomfortable, hot and over pregnancy!!only 4 weeks to go(hopefully less!!)
i guess thats brief update on where we're at..we will miss our dec 05 thread but on the up side,it'll be good to have more preggy girls to talk to now and also with new babes over the next few mths..
will try to keep up and pop in more often to say hi!!
Kirsty - Ella also came 6 weeks early due to a concealed placenta abruption - 5 mins later and both of us wouldn't have made it! So i know what you mean about regarding yourself so fortunate to have your babe. Ella also has kept up really well with her milestones (still is tiny and has no hair - lol) but the premmie factor has affected her in the sense of having major dairy allergies. Sorry to hear about his tube feeding - i really hope things improve very soon. Fergus looks like such a cutie and full of life!
Missy - thanks for your lovely words and thoughts. We are feeling very positive about Tia's outcome...i breed tough kids - lol! I truly hope Callum's heart murmur turns out to be something very very minor that will not affect him in any way!
Meg - your girls names are beautiful!! And Coco is adorable!!!
Hi Kate and Christie!!!!
Rae Just looked at your photos. How beautiful is Tia. Oh my that smile she has. The one where she looks like she is really cracking up...lol...thats so nice.
You quiet big for a little/thin ladie. I looked abit like that with Melissa. You couldnt tell I was pg with her but with Callum well I went out side ways this time....lol
Hi Missy - yep, have seen some sad things. Mostly great outcomes but some very sad experiences too.
Hi Kate, Kirsty and Christy!
Oooh I so want to chat with you all but I'm so tired and still have sorting/tidying to do...I'll be a bit scared to check in with you all tomorrow - I'm sure this thread will be 10 pages long!! hehe.
Hi Guys!!!
Gonna jump on in a couple of days when its slows down a bit.
Tiff sorry if i came across like that! Lets start a fresh!
Renee how are you doing?? Congrats on the BABY BUMB!!!
Beck and Meg thanks guys i hope we get to speak more soon!
AND TOO ALL YOU WONDEFUL WOMEN HI AND WILL SPEAK SOON!!!
Missy - thank you :) I think you mean Ella though as Tia's not yet baked! BUt it's confusing as i have Ella's pics on Tia's site. Yeah i'm pretty much the same belly-wise as i was with Ella. I think i hold babies nicely - if i say so myself- lol - just out front. But it can be a pain in the back only carrying the weight in the front. I'm gonna go check out Callum's site now :D
ETA: Awww he's adorable. Love the Chrissie shots!
Hi Tiggy, Missy, Meg, Beck, Rach, Renee and anyone else i forgot from dec 05..also hope to see dani again soon..can someone pm her msn details if you have a chance, i tried to do it on my computer but it wouldn't work..just want to stay in contact..
hope everyone else has had a nice day!!
xxoo
Rae Awwww der me. Sorry I was abit confussed. But im sure Tia will be just as lovely.
Hi Rach how are you
Christie hey chicky. This thread going to be huge. I keep checking every 5 mins to keep up...lol
Hey Christie, not long for you, girl. Hope you are feeling well.
Rach *hugs* a fresh start sounds fab!
Kristie, your little guy is very cute in his ticker pic!
Rae You and little Tia are always on my mind. You have a positive outlook. You are amazing!
Meg I forgot to say, I hope you are not getting sick and WELCOME BACK! We have missed you!
Sarajo Any decision on the tooth?
Beck Well said re; the other thread
Ivy and Noah are in bed asleep, pity the other kids are mucking around. It's blissfully cool here tonight in woop woop, so I think I might have an early night too.
ETA: Missy, glad to hear dinner was a monkey free zone.
Kate Sorry to hear that your little one has severe reflux. There are a few of us who have expereinced that. Ivy still has chucky days. She's on 20mg of Losec.
Missy, just seeing that gorgeous pic of callum with monkey just reminded me i meant to say to you, owen has 'snuggle' a blankie with a lion head..he sleeps with it and a dummy and as soon as he gets those things he knows its bed time, we leave him in bed all the time now..i know callum is walking and gets monkey himself, but maybe if he can't get to him(shut his door, or put monkey in the cupboard or something like that)maybe that would take his mind off it during the day when he's up and about..prob be met with some tears at first but worth it in the long run(esp since even if you could find a replacement it prob wouldn't be the same..IYKWIM)..just an idea, i know i wouldn't fancy having to wash snuggle 3 times a day!!but it is nice that they have something that brings them so much comfort isn't it!?!
Tiggy, i am feeling well, and haven't had much swelling this time, only a little in my ankles(last time my feet were like a pair of sausages and my toes too!!)so thats good, just very hot(luckily my parents bought us a portable a/c for xmas..have been parked in front of it for weeks, will be surprised if i don;t blow the motor out!!) and achey back, hips, pelvis etc..all the usual stuff..have had anaemia(for a few mths as it turns out)and have been totally wiped out, but am ok now and taking heaps of iron and vit C(i guess thats what i get for having the bubs so close together huh!?!) GLad to hear ivy and noah are down for the count tonight..2 down, 5 to go!!i can't even begin to imagine!!enjoy your early night..
looks like that rascally monkey of callum's is even making his way into all our posts..LOL
