naw tali theres no way you could call mr c petite lol!! hooray for possible fertility, im so jealous! hopefully a bfp soon
dan i hope ur ok, its horrible having to say good bye, even worse when you have to make the call. another sad face about AF and no more bubs!!!
my AF ended up lasting 8days!!! 7 of proper heaving bleeding *shudder* im counting down the days until 19th i tell u! GP said that they might ask me to wait 6mths before getting pg again after the procedure to make sure everythings ok before another bub has to come past the scarring. gah im so cross with my body, it scars so badly and seems to have no stretch to it even in the best circumstances.
on a cheerier note *happy dance* my niece/nephew is due to arrive in 8weeks!! i felt him/her kick today! im so excited, ive lent them our NB and small naps to use cos ive got a cloth convert on my hands hopefully it will mean SIL will slow down a bit, shes ALWAYS busy with church and youth stuff so atm we dont see them much, im hoping in my own selfish way that this means we will be able to catch up more.
ok better run, we r heading out (again) in a tick and im still in my uggies :S
GAH to Harlee who just pressed esc after I wrote a novel!!!!!
Dan - Poor DJ! He is a real little trooper! Do you have to get him checked every time he has a fit? And big hugs for Bella She'll be in animal heaven now with my puppy that we lost 2 yrs ago. They'll get along great! Hope you get your dog soon, Maybe you could tell your dh that it's for protection.. a guard dog?
That's so strange that af has shown her ugly face to you too! Hopefully I get over my fears and get utd again, dh and I have been talking alot about it lately and we figured better sooner rather than later as it did take a few months to fall preg last time.
Ap - Yay! Convert your sil!! I gave my sil a few nappies in hope she would use them at least over night. they will fit her dd now but she keeps saying they are 'too big' GRR! Mind you she wants to do everything like her friends, she refuses to use a sling, must start dd on rice cereal at 4 months, must not breastfeed, must use discustables.. frustrates me so much because she complains about the cost of it all.. I have to bite my toungue around her. Can we swap sil's??
Af for me was the normal 5 days, the only problem is the endo has returned and worse than ever I have been having the worst cramps everyday and I've been pooping out blood the last 3 days, like a LOT of blood. I just dont think there is anything I can do about it though. I have been to the doctors 3 times, to 3 doctors, and they all look up my butt and say its an anal fissure. I have been to one specialist also and he said it was endo and they needed to stick a camera up there as soon as it next bleeds. And then I got the implanon and it went away.. and that was 4 or so years ago now. I dont know what to do now. There is only the one specialist that I know of (the one I went to) I dont think I could go back there.
AP : gah about the lack of the gyno visit that sucks (going off FB for that one) i hope you get in sooner!!
Tali: aww poor thing. maybe see the GP and see the specialest? i know its hard to "go back" but maybe its worth it? maybe they can help now its post-baby and still there? KWIM?
AFM: been busy here. my folks came up last night/today for a vist. ended up going to the RSPCA in town and adopting a baby boy. his name is Tigger (shhhh on FB for now, lol) and he's 4 and a bit months old he's a Staghound Cross (guessing whippit or grayhound) and he's a smooch! my dad liked him and the boys liked him too (and he them) which was fantastic. we pick him up monday as he needs to be...ahem...made less manly. but thats ok. gives us time to fully fence the house yard and set up some kind of sleeping arrangement haha. (DH says "NO BED" ...now haha) but yeah. makes up for the loss of baby bella (kind of) as i'm a dog girl at heart (no more trying to steal D's dog macca, haha) and i think it's good for me to have a dog too. seeing as i love walking, i wont look *so* nutty doing laps around the block (1.2km per lap) plus seeing as DH has said no to more babies i get a puppy to dote on; lol. plus it'll help me feel ok when DH starts work! it also helps that the staghound is the gentelman of the dog world...so tigger will look all tough but be a smooch. hehe.
Vic is standing semi aided - as in holding on with one hand! scary, scary scary! he's also saying more things like "nannanana *rasberry*" and daddaddad mummummum which is cute (again scary) and i feeling like my little man aint so little! although i did have some back lash from my mum about b/f she asked when i was 'stopping' and i shrugged and said "when vics ready." which she wasn't 100% sure about. but meh. it works. she also got wearded out 'cus i'm a mummy dummy. oh well.
I'm still around. No belly bump yet, but 14weeks and it is going both fast and slow. All day sickness is a real kick up the backside. I'm completely exhausted and struggling with it. I'm still feeding P 4 times through the day, plus a couple overnight at the moment, and it is taking it's toll on my body. Because I'm not eating much, growing a baby, feeding a baby (yes he is still my baby!) and sustaining myself is not happening. I passed out the other night whilst feeding P and it was scary I'm not ready to give up feeding P, and neither is he - he came and pulled my shirt down tonight and started grabbing at my boob
P is cruising along the furniture and the walls, and can walk really well if he has something to hold onto - his toys, your hand, leg... and he is getting pretty good at standing without holding on :O I really am not ready to admit that my baby turns 1 in a couple of weeks, and that he is pretty much a toddler.... I want my little baby back!! Brad keeps telling me that I have another one on the way so it's okay...
What's everyone's plans for bubs' 1st birthday? We are having a bbq picnic with family and close friends, and there is a big grassed area, duck pond, animals and play equipment there... Just keep your fingers crossed the weather is nice for us!
Well that's about all from me, sorry for the lack of personals, but I read and think about you all.. big squishy hugs to everyone and the gorgeous bubbas
UntoldAngel - you need to look after yourself honey! Try and get more protein and fat into you by having a breakfast smoothie with whole milk, yoghurt and fruit. Skip anything low fat or low sugar and just EAT good whole healthy foods. Add butter, avocado, full fat cheese etc to your meals to get your calories up. You have to nourish your body for your boobie monster and your growing baby Glad the morning sickness is letting up though.
Dani - how exciting that you have a new baby in your house! Hope he is well behaved around the boys. I bet the boys just love having their new "brother" around! How is DJ going with his siezures? Are they calming down now or still bad?
Tali - I'm so sorry that you're having endo/AF/butt issues.. was it like this before you had Harlee? Hope you're feeling better. Watch your iron levels and eat loads of meat and leafy greens to make sure you don't become anaemic because of blood loss!
AP - how exciting! A cousin for Mr C! Hope your procedures goes OK, when are you having it?
Hello everyone else!!
AFM - 3 more weeks and my little boy turns 1. WTH? no seriously... a year has gone by since he arrived. I want my baby back. He doesn't look like a baby any more, he looks like a little boy. He stood up by himself without holding on to anything for like 5 seconds last night - he did that a couple of times. Me and DH were just sitting there opened mouthed and L didn't even think anything of it. So proud! I want to be pregnant again Soooooooooooooooooooooo badly. DH still has his depression, and is on meds which means his libido is down the tubes.. which means we DTD twice a month if I'm lucky? Not to mention we've moved back in with mum and dad while we sell our place so there's even less chance of BM with a house full of people ... and lets also throw in PCOS and missing AF (on CD 32 right now).. so not sure if I've ovluated or not or what the hell is going on. Oh yeah, and DH doesn't want number 2 just yet (but he isn't taking any steps to prevent it IYKWIM)... So the plan is to go to my doctor and get another hormone panel done and possibly put me on metformin to help regulate my periods. Then if nothing has happened by the end of the year, we might try a few rounds of clomid and see if that helps. Who knows, L was our natural miracle so maybe number 2 will arrive the same way.
Just found out one of my close friends is having twins! She's 7 weeks pregnant but bleeding.. so she thought she'd lost the baby, but had an US and found 2 heartbeats. She has a doctors appointment today to see what's going on. Send your prayers and I'll pass them on. Would Love to be PG with her...
Cannot believe our babies will be one soon! Big hugs to you all!
Busy we all are it seems
Happy birthday to one Mr P! hope you where an angel and spoiled mummy and daddy
AFM vic is a little terror. gotta love him though, will happily push is "car" around showing off. cant belive that our little ones will be ONE veeery soon! blarg. makes me clucky as hell. *sob* i'm looking into the IUD/marina for contriseption as DH has said NO MORE babies and he wont get the snip (i'd be laughed at for asking for my tubes tied as im 22!) and i want a "set and forget" one that i can use while still feeding vic. and the idea of a/f every three weeks is honstly shI!ting me to tears! i dont want to see her that often. if at bloody all (pardon the pun!) plus with everything thats happening with the boys...a "set and forget" is a good thing. as i forget where i leave my keys most of the time! (i'm waiting to leave them at D's place LOL)
I better go and type up the invites for vics birthday - they're just for the people on our street, lol.
have a good week!
Hey everbody, hope all is well, so scary having one year olds now!
Harlee has taken a few steps on her own, but only to keep her balance so she can stand. But I'm not pushing it coz as soon as she's walking.. Eek! I need more energy for her as she's already full of beans! She still won't sleep more than 3 hours at night, 2 weeks ago we had to call 1800granma just so we could get a few hours sleep. We keep telling our selves this too shall pass, but it hasn't, and we are tired.
Well I got pregnant too, but after constant testing, the bfp slowly faded away and we lost the little one, I feel kind of guilty about it though because I wasn't over joyed when we found out, just really shoked, but I was still happy itms. But when we found or, dh was crying because he was so happy, so I've realised that this is something he really wants and after having lots of talks about, I do to. But now my body is out of whack again and af has decided to go on strike.
My parents went to japan for the weekend and got stuck in hong kong for a few nights because of the ash cloud, we had a funeral yesterday for or friends little baby so for the first time ever, I let.. The mil.. Babysit.
Yep. She had harlees cousin there for the whole day as she is the free daycare for sil, and we went to the funeral, for an hour then came back, and she was happy so I fed her and she fell asleep. So I put her down and dh and I went off and did the shopping. It was so weird, I couldnt stop worrying about her but I knew she was fine.
I have seperation anxiety!! And Harlee doesn't!! *sigh*
We are just having a family bbq for Harlee's birthday, invites went out a week ago. I didn't want to do anything overestimating otherwise I would need an arvo nap too.
Tali - I'm sorry to hear about your BFN that was a BFP. Do you think it could have been a chemical pregnancy? have you been to see your GP to get a blood test done or has AF arrived yet? Hopefully we'll be belly buddies again! Wouldn't that be awesome?
Dani - hope you get your IUD / AF situation sorted out! I've got the opposite problem, AF is nowhere to be seen! I went to CD 47 this month without AF, but when she came UGH it was painful! Cycle before that was only 26 days so I don't know WTF is going on with my cycles.
My baby boy turns 1 on thursday.... OMG! Where has a year gone?? We're having a birthday party for him on Sunday and have invited all my Mumma's and babies... so there will be around 30 people (including 10 babies) at our place for 2 hours. not sure how the babies will handle being awake for that long as it's usually afternoon nap time for L around 3pm.. Looking forward to meeting Belle and Mr P too as they said they would be coming!
I've been thinking about to his Birth-Day and I relive it in my head.. it was such an amazing and intense day.. full of emotions.. SO SO SO SO Badly want to fall PG again. Am going to see the GP on Friday for L's year 1 vaccinations and will talk about my next steps re possibly starting metformin for my PCOS or going back to see the FS to get things moving for Baby #2.
in other news, our place is on the market for sale, so we're back in with my parents. Love being home.. mum loves having us, especially her grandbaby Hopefully the sale is quick and painless and we get what we want for it. DH will only consider having #2 when all this house sale stuff is sorted out.. so until that happens I won't be PG.
happy birthday to both boys *hides under rock* vic isn't turning one. nope nope nope
Tali i'm sorry about you're angel i wish i could say/do more for you.
Erica: aww about wanting to be UTD. i can remember that feeling oh, so well. Ohh thats right. i still feel it hopefully you'll be UTD soon - they come when they want to, i honstly feel that.
AFM: been busy sorting out Vics birthday stuff. we've got my folks, my aunt & uncle, sister & BIL (they've been together 10 years, lol), D & his mum, Bob and his wife, lorrie (last 5 are all people who live on our Ave) and Floss and her DP. so its kinda family/friends. but nothing huge. just enough. (well i think the people in our street are going to become our second family, seeing as ours are that far away) i'm making a choc-ripple cake (easy, non-cooked and can be ohh so messy. LOL) and a BBQ...with fairy bead. which should be good. a little sad Vic and DJ will be the only "kiddie kids" but hey. thems the brakes ya know? but in a few weeks Miss Harlee will be up here with Mrs Tali and Mr Tali. soo excited!
I better go finish dinner...fish, rice and veggies for DH. and Garlic Prawns, rice and veggies for me!
Cluck Cluck Cluck Cluck - (That's an imitation of all of us by the way)
Dan - Firstly, I have to say, I have only just read your thread on DJ's angelmans syndrome and my hat goes of to you and your DH for your amazing attitude toward having extra challenges in raising your happy little boy, and thanks for explaining about it too, I had never heard of it before and so here's another ignorant person who now knows a little more about others out there.
Did you end up getting any good advice on contra?
Has anyone ever used a diaphragm, how do they work?
Tali- Sorry to hear about your BFP not turning out how it should. You know, even in planned pregnancies, we can have mixed feelings, worries etc, I hope you don't keep feeling guilty because you didn't do anything wrong. When your body stars cooperating it sounds like your DH is on board if you decide to try for another though, that's exciting.
Speaking of bodies - am I the only one who hasn't had AF at all yet? Ok, I (even though my SIL is about to pop and my GF just had a brand new teensy, tiny bubba and I just go awwwww, awwww) do NOT want to have another baby right now, DH may not want a third at all, but I am wondering when AF will rear her head. Maybe when Lilah starts sleeping through. I shouldn't complain, because she's had an awful ear infection, molar teething and really high temps, but it's been enough to reinforce my commitment to start sleeping through, lose that last 5kg, (and maybe 5 on top so I'm super hot) and likely even have Lilah toilet trained before I want another one, I'm just so tired, all the time, I'm so tired, and I'm 26, it's sad, I don't know what my problem is, I've even had some catch up sleeps now and I just don't have any energy. Blech, an unexpected side effect of motherhood for me I tell you.
Oooh, here's a woo hoo from us - Elly is toilet trained now, truly just clicked, (not for sleeps) but daytime, yes sir-y, yay. Also I can make her eat now, and she fetches me stuff for Lilah, my goodness, yes, they become more independent and self-willed, but I can see my future with older children and it's lookin good. Hmmm, do I want to go back??
Erica - I hope your house goes through, markets forces are making life difficult for those selling, my MIL wants to unload her rental, so hope all goes smoothly for you.
Gottal run, sorry to be rude, bub is crying for me. BBL
So I held a 1st birthday for Lachlan yesterday. He was a bit of a Diva, all the babies getting in his space and playing with all his toys made him VERY cranky so he was Mr Cranky McCrankyPants the entire time. I still had a wonderful time! Belle and Parker came all the way from Newcastle to come to Lachlan's birthday so I got to meet her and have lots of cuddles with Parker - that was AWESOME! So lovely to finally meet her and her boy. Man, can I say - he sure does put the food away... where I'm not sure cos he's like 2kg less than Lachlan! Anyway, looking forward to catching up with B and P in August when I am up there - hope to make it a more regular thing that's for sure!
Dani - my heart goes out to you at the moment with DJ being in hospital. I know there is nothing I can do, but please know you are in my prayers. You are an AWESOME mama and I hope DJ comes through this bout of fits with no problems. *hugs*
Sas - *cluck cluck boing cluck* the sound of a chicken with a biological clock! hehe. My AF came back (irregularly) after I stopped BF in February. I've had alot more regular cycles (read: more than once every 5 months) than before so I'm happy with that. Poor little Lilah having that ear infection and teething! Hope she starts sleeping through soon... I know how it is, your mind wants to go to the gym and lose that weight, your body says stay in bed it's lovely and warm ARGH!! Hooray for toilet training. It's probably a bit early for Lachlan to start with the toilet training considering he can't even walk yet... but I'm eager to start trying as soon as he's ready. Do you want a number 3?? How exciting if you do!!
AFM - started on Metformin last friday to help with regulating my AF and hopefully seeing a bit of weight loss. The side effects aren't pretty, but my doctor did warn me about them. He said they should settle down after a month or so. On CD11 today so charting my temps, checking my CM etc over the next few days to see if I'm ovulating. Last cycle was 47 days so not holding out much hope, but the cycle before that was 26 days so who knows what's going on. DH is still not on board with having number 2 just yet, but if it happens now I'll be thrilled... if he's still not on board by September (2 years between #1 and #1) to start trying then we need to have a talk and make sure we're on the same page.
Still living with mum and dad. It's OK, nice to have loads of people around for Lachlan to play with but missing our own space.. Don't get me wrong, it's a huge house with heaps of room, but it's not the same as having our own space.
Oh yeah,and I finally joined as a lifetime member on this site! So I should be getting a new avvy soon! How exciting!
i hope ur ok, its horrible having to say good bye, even worse when you have to make the call. another sad face about AF and no more bubs!!!
hopefully it will mean SIL will slow down a bit, shes ALWAYS busy with church and youth stuff so atm we dont see them much, im hoping in my own selfish way that this means we will be able to catch up more.

She'll be in animal heaven now with my puppy that we lost 2 yrs ago. They'll get along great! Hope you get your dog soon, Maybe you could tell your dh that it's for protection.. a guard dog?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LACHLAN!!!!
hopefully you'll be UTD soon - they come when they want to, i honstly feel that.
