Smudgies mum - you must've been posting while I was. Which minipill are you on? I'm on Noriday 28. I haven't had any bleeding or spotting since taking it which is great. I am however a little concerned that all the tablets are active so think I may not get AF at all. Because of this and the fact that I don't get m/s and my pregnancy symptoms were really mild last time I've started temping. At least if I see a big temp rise I'll know I should be testing. I certainly will not complain if I get no AF if it's just because of the active tablets.

it is very quiet hey?

well school went back today YAY YAY YAY!!!

I was to work today but i was cancelled at 12pm for a 2 pm start ... i hope i get to work tues and wednesday now as we are going to my 20yr school reunion this sat and we need the extra dollars so we can enjoy!

Little Alli is sitting here in his rocker staring into space... the dear little bub is sleeping 12 hours a night from 8 til 8 today and then had a bottle and a half and had another 1 1/2 sleep from about 9 30 am. Had the rest of the second bottle and now just 'chilling' . Im very lucky that i have a very placid child.
But when he isnt happy we all know about it lol

I had a weird dream or something last night ... i was 'astrotravelling' through to my friends houses to see if they were all ok. I couldnt get through some houses but i just remember seeing the house and it was dark outside and there were stars . I remember asking how to let yourself float from your sleeping body but once i did i loved flying around whilst i was asleep. I remember waking up thinking gee that was weird but great.

Cheers Ainsley

just poking my head in to say hi and that I am around and still reading everyone's posts but am not getting a chance to hop on and do so until unearthly hours - which are killing me so have to go to bed now! Just quick update... Charli is doing well but spent most nights last week screaming. We really thought her first tooth was going to cut but somehow I think she's going to teeth for ages before it finally cuts - heaps of dribbling & sucky/chewing on her hands (doesn't like a dummy) and can see the white bumps but not cutting. Ah well. She slept most of Thursday & Friday which was freaky but nice.. growth spurt I can only think.

Hope you are all surviving :-) xo

Hello girls where is everyone :

This thread is really slow atm ....now i know we have bubs but come on lol

Well no more weird dreams for me last night but i had a s h i t night sleep though....one of those nights where you get up i the morning feeling like crap and really tired!

Scott and I are REALLY organising this wedding of ours for next March. I have just put the last invite into its envelope and now we need to post them hahah all systems are moving, quite exciting actually. You see i have never been married before so im enjoying organising things so far.
I have to put a deposit down for the catering next week and then ill have to ring the local echuca flowerist for flowers. Then next thing will be a weekend up in Echuca for Scott me and bubs to go and introduce ourselfs to everyone helping.
The only thing thats going to really stretch my patience is Scotts thing to be absolutely PERFECT just getting the invites perfect on the computer was too annoying to watch. So i went to bed last night.
The things i/we stil need is a celebrant, my dress, his attire, the wedding party attire music and accommodation .
We are getting married on the Historic Wharf in Echuca then we are having a 4 hour ****tail reception on the PS Pevensey (which was in the tv miniseries All The Rivers Run) then at 7pm we can then hit the historic pub The Steam Packet Hotel for more drinks and dancing.
Now girls fingers crossed that i DO NOT get my period on that weekend lol

This weekend Scott and i are off to Hamilton in west of victoria where i grew up.... its my 20 yr reunion for tech/high school. I cant wait as it should be a hoot. We are palming all kids off and Alli is off to his my dads for a weekend visit....so yay another weekend off !

Im going to go and get a cuppa

cheers Ainsley

Hi ladies, been having a real rough trot here.

Even though my head and eyes are sore from so much crying, I actually am feeling a little better today and more confident.

This was yesterdays post, just didn't post it (so all events are from yesterday and the night before)

I gave Riley a dreamfeed at 11pm last nite with no fuss, then he woke at 5am and fed him with no fuss. But his 9am feed didn't come off, neither did it at 11.30am (I attempted again - seeing as his 9am feed was bad). So I fed him at 3pm this arvo and no problems at all.

I rang my CHN this morning and she said straight away "reflux" - get him to the doc. She said she knew it was only a matter of time for us until I said I had had enuf. I have said a few things at times obviously but it was nothing we couldn't handle, but this past week has just been terrible and so so stressful.

So off we went to the doc at 1pm. Arrogant pig! Said to me all babies/children are different and he is never convinced it is reflux unless a very severe case like lachlan (my first son). He said I am using my past experiences get in the way. He offered no assurance or advice but did give me a script to try zantac as a trial only.

Gosh it is not like I want to go thru this or give my child meds but if it means we are both happy again..... gosh I sooo don't want to be here again, but I have no choice!

He asked me why I was crying and I looked at him and said well what do I do if he won't feed, got any suggestions. It is the stress of it! Which he obviously is oblivious too! See he was not worried as he is a big boy 6.5kgs, but he didn't even begin to think that his weight gain has been subsiding alot, didn't even ask! Just rude, but he is the only doctor in town.

I truely believe that people just don't understand unless they have been thru this. Yes my baby has been a good feeder till now hence his weight gains, but geez it is a mother's right to do what she can for her child in order for them not to go downhill. I feed him whilst asleep and during the night to keep the weight on.

A girl that works for us (which I truely adore), said but he is a healthy chubby baby (and she just kept repeating this - after me repeating but it is the refusal to feed that is just sooo hard). I know he has weight on him (luckily as Lachlan never did), but I don't want him too loose weight regardless. I just wish people would say nothing, esp when it sounds condesecending. I would like to see them in the same situation feed in feed out when your baby is in pain and crying and you can't no matter how hard you try get them to feed. I know if I had never been in this situation I would never understand the extent of the situation but I also wouldn't even try to begin to understand too and would just feel for the person.

Anyway after seeing the doc, it is confirmed he has no thrush/tongue tie is fine/no ear or throat problems.

I then walked across road to CHN. She gave me a big hug and told me I am doing nothing wrong. I asked her how often I should be feeding him and she gave me the confidence to feed him 5 hourly if it meant that we wouldn't fight and get so stressed and maybe he would have a really big feed and would have emptied the contents of his tummy from his last feed and we might have more success. I just needed to hear this from her. As it appears that is why we had a better feed at 3pm as his last decent feed was 5am. But geez that is a long time. Maybe I have been forcing feeds on him sooner then he wanted it. So hearing that is just what I needed and with her guidance we will get thru this.

Sorry for the vent and the all about us post. I will be trying very hard to get ontop of this and hope to chat to you girls soon with some good news. xoxo

Hi everyone.

'Brock is still in his PJs. Yay!!!! What's the big deal you may ask. Well normally by now he's chucked up so much over himself we are on to our 2nd or third outfit for the day (sometimes for me too). He didn't chuck in his bed or on our couch or on our carpet. No bedding to wash, no extra clothes to wash. Just 2 bibs so far today, instead of the countless bibs and clothing. I just hope the little chucks instead of the big ones last.

Sheree - It must've been so hard for you over the last few days. I know what you mean about peoples advice. People keep giving me advice when they see Brock chuck but my MCHN says if it is reflux it's mild and it's not worth worrying about as he's happy & feeding and continuing to put on weight. I even had a stranger in a shopping centre suggest it could be reflux - perhaps you could get him some thickener. She was sitting at a nearby table when he chucked twice after a feed. Honestly, can people not mind their own business??????? I hope the situation improves for you soon and everyone keeps their opinions to themselves.

Ainsley - That sure was a weird dream. I had one last night. I was pregnant and I fell off my bike (I don't even own one). I went to hossy to get checked out and made friends with the female doctor. Very strange indeed. Don't have a clue what it means but the only time I've had dreams of being pregnant is when I was pregnant with Brock. My DF had a dream a week or two ago that I was pregnant with twins so I'm starting to get a little worried about all these pregnancy dreams. Your wedding plans sound lovely. We never get around to making plans as we haven't managed to agree on what we'd like to do, plus I need to actually get divorced. Very naughty I know but I just don't want to fork out the money for it, but seeing the ex hasn't bothered initiating things, I will have to. Plus there's the cost. I wonder if we will ever get round to getting married.

Livyloos mum - good luck with the teething.
