Lol AP bfn here...i just sent all my opps vibea to belle hehe. If you need an ear to chew im always happy to listen. Your a fantastic mumma. You are doing so well. As for the phi what a stupid thing todo, on their part
Ooooo 7 months to plan a wedding ay? How exciting! I'll be stalking it...maybe if mr c is walking you can have him as a ring bearer!! Yay for df getting a better job! Stress = sucky!
As for us settleing in really well. The bloke next door is over most days. But im not worried though. Hes...differant. If you've heard of shaken baby syndrome, he has it thanka to his (now dead) old man. So im guessing hes here for the normality of things. But he did put wood in our wood shead...and snuck round the back and busted me singing but we're loving it...vic is cuseing the couches and just getting into anything. Two teethies through this week toboot. Better go sounds like I have one of the boys waking up.
Well I'm on holidays this week in a place just outside of bundaberg. It's my FILs place so I get to cook and clean in a whole other state for 7 days. We also drove up so I've got to endure a 2 day car trip home before I get back to any sense of normality. While we've been here we had to take L to hospital cos he was running a fever and was vomiting listless and looked so sad he ended up having a sever ear infection and so he is now on antibiotics. I was so scared! Dani I don't know how you are colic with DJ being in and out of hospital
All the time. You are super mum!
Tried to talk toDH about wanting to trying for baby number 2 soon and he is stuck on them being 3-4 years apart. I want to start trying in sept cos I want them 2-3 years apart. He isn't budging so I'm making him feel guilty by just sighing and saying sadly 'ok fine, have it your way I guess it's what you want and I have no say. My dreams and what I want don't count for anything and you're not willing to compromise at all' and that makes him feel all guilty.
Meanwhile I haven't told him I've gone off the pill so if we have an oopsie then 'oh well!' hehehe
Ok ladies I'd better get up and start my day.
Are any of our babies walking yet!?? I know Harlee is getting pretty close!
How did I miss that Belle is UTD again??!!! Congrats woman!
Dansta - I second Erica, what a tough trot your family is having with poor DJ, I really hope they can get him stable soon.
Erica - I don't know if your DH will buy a 'woops', methinks he may be suspicious. That sounds like a difficult holiday, we think our holiday this year is going to be my taking a week off and just hanging at home, maybe going for some walks or the cinema, going to sydney a couple of times to the aquarium or zoo or what not, as are too broke after pretty much every single expensive appliance breaking and needing to be bought this year . . vacuum, oven, hot water system, laptop, washing machine, so much for cutting back on work lol. How are you going at work? Still loving it?
As for us: DD is a poop machine, ew. Probably because she is an eating machine. She has finally learned how to eat (well greatly improved) without choking on every finger food type item, though I'm sure it helps that she now has 7 teeth almost 8 and has learned how to use them!
She can walk between DH & I for several steps today, and thinks it's a hilarious game, but hasn't tried it on her own yet, but I wouldn't be suprised if she's walking by next week as she can do it, she just doesn't know she can KWIM. Actually, edit to above, she just walked a couple of steps between the coffee taple and the giant pom-pom, so who knows?
I had mastitis of all things this long weekend, (of course I'd get it when the Dr's are shut, and no, no, no I will NOT go up to the ED unless I am unconcious, have a fever over 40, or am in an ambulance, so I felt like utter crap (as most of you know who've had mastitis, makes you feel like you've got an awful, awful flu) luckily since DD is an excellent booby drainer, she regularly drained my not so awesome amount of milk anyway so prevented it from getting worse and it cleared up on it's own without ABs but ech for a couple of days there, how ridiculous at 10 months to get that! DD is a scratcher and my suspciion is a tiny nick on the underside of my booby or maybe a little bite let an infection in and it went right to the spot I had it so BAD with DD1, so must just be weak there.
Anyone elses bubs little roughians? DD is a real hair grabber, face masher (I think she thinks that's a hug), bite/sucker (kiss), swiper, and will downright wrestle DD1 and just grab the object of her desire (say DD1s bottle) and hurtle off to the other side of the room. Am wondering if this is a second child thing, but ouch it hurts a lot, I'm not a large fan, I have to keep one eye open all the time when she's about or she'll just come up and bite my leg.
Sas.. Ouch! Mastitis! That makes me shiver.. After being hospitalized for 4 days with it, I never want that again! Maybe Lilah has cut down on milk so thats why you are getting it now?
Harlee is a bit rough too, she has only JUST cut her first tooth and she will sneak up to me and bite my toe, boy it hurts, she is a scratcher, a pincher and a hair puller, although doesn't sound as rough as your Lilah!
Erica.. Harlee is not walking yet, just standing by herself, but not for long moments. I think as soon as she is walking a few things in the house will need to change! It's scary what she can already get into, she has been climbing the stairs for over a month now, so fast too! And she is attracted to the fire place .. and the oven! So I had to buy a fire guard, but I really dont want to shut her out of the kitchen as that is where we spend alot of time. We go to peoples houses and she crawls off and is so quite.. moments later I find her IN a drawer, pulling everything out!
Feedind is getting very difficult atm, Harlee is full of beans/has ants in her pants like her daddy, whilist feeding she will walk up me, turn herself upside down, pinch me REALLY hard on my saggy boobs.. ulgh. I have breastfeeding necklaces but she bores of them quickly.
AF has still not returned, but I think she may be on her way, starting to get the painful cramps I used to have the week before. but well see as they have been going for a week now.
Theo is a glasses stealer. Which means Miss 3 copies him and sits on your lap going ooh aah goo goo *grab glasses*.
He still isn't crawling, he obviously has a quota of overalls to wear through first by commando crawling before he gets up on his knees. He's started climbing up us and the furniture and can get over a surprising range of obstacles just by dragging himself around everywhere.
DD#1 was crawling when she was 7 months and talking at about the same but DD#2 was nothing like that, so we've already been through the whole thinking we've got a slow kid (rather, just had a fast one first time) and are just enjoying him being an overly cute happy smileypants. He's a really lovely baby.
Was in Adelaide buying furniture the other day and all slightly older salespeople seem to think he's gorgeous and he obligingly smiles at them and they coo over him lol ... but then we stayed overnight at the inlaws and it felt like they pretty much ignored us completely so its nice when *someone* pays attention to the kids, even if it is complete strangers after us for our money. The odd comment we did actually get from the inlaws about the kids all got turned into discussions about their cousins (who they can see anytime) which is really annoying considering we visit quite rarely. I don't think they realise they're ignoring us or focussing so much on the cousins, and neither of us are going to speak up about it, we just try and minimise time spent with them (which isn't hard). Its a bit sad though, it becomes this reinforcing cycle where we visit infrequently, we don't enjoy the visit at all, so we visit less frequently ... and now we've decided to just stop completely as why bother if it is disrupting to the kids routine, noone gets good sleep and there's noone to fuss over them and play with them like happens at my parent's house.
We have a lovely 4br house with all new furniture taking shape and we can do shopping in Adelaide in a day trip with only two of the kids (eldest can get herself home no problem) so there's really no need to stay overnight at all. Also delays needing to drop a small fortune on a new car. My parents have worked this out, they visit us every few weeks instead, which is nice, and the other set of inlaws visit us (and drag their bored offspring with them) every now and again too.
Edit: the inlaws visited on my birthday last year and the MIL spent almost the entire visit going on in greeeeaaaat length about some friend of hers that had just died of cancer and again, barely talked with us about US and again, we bit our tongues and didn't say anything and just went OMG about it afterwards. We're wimps. Avoidance is better than speaking up

erica: hospitals suck in deed. i got the baptisum of fire from both boys. so the two hospitals we went to in melbourne, they became second homes for us. up here we've been told we'll see them "more often" as well. i'm glad you told your DH you're off the pill and didn't just do it. that'd cause a rift with you guys - i've seen girls do that before and it wasnt pritty the bloke next door D is going though something like that with an Ex GF...and well yeah.
sas: aww poor thing with the mastitus! i haven't *touch wood* suffered from that yet. im glad your DD drained your boobie though so you didn't need AB's. and aww at DD almost walking. vic can stand with one hand holding on. im dreading him walking. its scary 'nuff as it is!
elf: i know the feeling with the IL's mine are fairly p!$$ poor too. my FIL has told DH he "cares very little" about me and my SOL. joy. aww at the lump commando crawling. vic skipped that part. and thats good about all the beds and stuff too! win.
AFM: been busy. Vic is walking behind things. from boxes ( yes we still have some around) to his drum to the pram. scary. all bets are on him walking before 12 months. DH still hasn't found a job. he's been fussy. but meh. rollerdoors are being installed today. Dj has been stable for three weeks...hopefully will remain so for a while now. although if he fits while DH is at work. i'll deal with it and i guess follow the ambos to the hospital. or something.
i have a sneaking suspition D from next door is up to something when i saw some frame work and asked what it was for i got told "if i tell you i'd need to kill you" who knows. the cheeky little monky (who i have claimed as a third child) thinks its amuseing again to up on me. but he has pruned our fruit trees.
I'm starting to feel i guess the "pinch" of it when the idea, and i guess the finality of not having any more babies. right now i am so utterly clucky i offered to "puppy sit" D's new dog. but i got told no. and no cuddles...now to hunt down a puppy for us! hopefully soon i'll have a puppy so i can go clucky over it...or else i may just join my hens in the chook house and lay an egg or two. *faceplam*
Better go offer the work men some tea/coffee bikkies ay?
hope every one has a wonderful mothers day...mines ganna be crud. my IL's are staying the flipping night..
Af returned here on mothers day dammit. Stupid thing! But hopefully fertility returned too if I can bring myself to go through labour again then we will go for more kids, dh is more ready than ever and is just waiting for me to be ready, doh!
Harlee is still petite, but standing very well by herself now, she won't let us hold her hands to get her to walk though, can't believe she's one next month! So scary!
Ap - aww poor mr c and mumma! I hope the gyno's can help you out. I think my stiches from vic healed funny so I have a kinda dip/ pocket thing. Hope your ok ap, I, around if you need some one to text.
Tali - naw thats soo cute about harlee! She's a cutie. As for af, bugger! As for birthing again, each birth is its own. I was blessed to have good middies, but both births where worlds apart.
Afm: another one whoes af showed up, the biatch she is. Shes not a flow. Tmi but ita freaking sludge! Like semi dried blood. Maybe next month she'll get the hint? Mind you it looks like my cycle is 21-22 days long again. *groan* vic is not yet standing alone. It wont be long.though. Scary and sad as he is my last baby. As much as I could do it again dh is adiment he wont have another. And he is really getting to me as I want a puppy but due to a) us putting bella down and b) him not having a job and being really fussy about the job hes applying for. Hopefully soon I guess. Dj has had minor fit this week; not enough to call the ambos though (it was under a mineit) hopefully its a one off...now I better go clear the boys toys up while they attack my tuppawear stuff.
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.
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!
but we're loving it...vic is cuseing the couches and just getting into anything. Two teethies through this week toboot. Better go sounds like I have one of the boys waking up.
