Amanda - glad to hear your check up went well, but not good about the m/s.

Bath - how did dr visit go?

Nic - hope you find your camera. Would have loved to see a pic of you all glamed up! Sorry to hear Nixon isn't been kind to you lately. I'm sure it's just one of those independant phases they go through. Hopefully it wont last long.

Tali - sounds like a fun day at the water park. Zay might like to join up a sport when you come to Melb? Does he like team sports? Any more word on your moving expenses?

I've had a great weekend. It was my birthday yesterday so had family over for BBQ on Saturday night and my gorgeous GF invited us over for dinner last night and cooked a beautiful dinner. I felt very spoilt and even had birthday cake with candles and sparklers (which the kids loved). DH got me a flight centre voucher so I can book my trip to Brisbane in May to visit my best friend. Will hopefully book it this week.

Kids are great. Chelsea is learning lots at school about respecting others and I really think its rubbing off at home too and helping her and Marley get along better. Marley is well and truely over her throat infection and is being an absolute delight lately. She just gives me her cheeky smile and I just melt, its so cute!

Its been a really hot weekend and going to be a hot week too. DH took Chelsea to the local pool today and she found a girl from school, so they played for a while. Marley decided to have a long sleep today, so we missed out! Oh well, I had a chance to chill out and read my book.

MIL couldn't look after Marley tomorrow, so I have the day off which I am looking forward to. Just Marley and I.

Hope everyone is well and the Melb girls enjoyed the long weekend.

Hi girls, just quickly, about to go to bed: My visit to the specialist went quite well Best news is that there is a type of anti-thyroid medication that I can take and still BF! Yay! so no enforced weaning! Phew! So I have started my treatment. He said he thinks it will take up to 8 months to be "cured" if the tablets are going to work.... if they don't then it'll have to be a more aggressive treatment (radiation/removal) let's hope it doesn't come to that. So far no side effects... all anti-thyroid tablets are pretty harsh though... nausea is a possibility. Anyhow, so far so good. Escaped the heat today in at Melbourne Central with Verity. Personals tomorrow.... nighty nite!

ETA: Happy birthday for yesterday Mel! We need to have a meet up soon!

Happy belated birthday Mel!!
thats great news bath, seems it will take a while before you back to full health but hopefully now you have started treatment you feel an improvement soon.
Hows the hot weather been there? i think it must have forgotten that summer is actually over hey... adelaide has been real hot also. Not sure when but im thinking sometime this year i might come down to melb to visit all my friends. prob just bringTyron wilth me so will only be for a few days but if we can all work it out i'd love to see you all!
Tali- yep sonds like we've got a couple of indepandants on our hands. Nixon is such a good boy a lot of the time, but he just seems to put up a fight/have a tanty etc to me!
Tali- glad you had a nice weekend. sounds like Zay would really enjoy a sport.

oh and the camera was in DH suit pants lol! releived that i didnt leave it anywhere, i added some pics on facebook.

Mel - Happy Belated Birthday - it sounds like you had a wonderful day.

Bath - that is the most excellent news - here's hoping these meds cause minimal side affects but still "solve" the problem so other treatment is not required.

Nic - glad you found your camera

BBL ladies - have some research into low amniotic fluid levels to do - this pregnancy is doing my head in.

Thanks for the birthday wishes girls.

Bath - fantastic news about the new treatment and not having to wean. You couldn't have hoped for better news. Glad you got out of the heat yesterday, it was horrible. Yes, I agree a catch up is in order.

Nic - I just checked out your photos and WOW! You look amazing. You look like you have dropped heaps of weight. And what a handsome couple you make. I love the dress too. Also checked out the boys pics and they are just so cute. Tyron is certainly growing up, love the chubby cheeks. Would love to catch up when you are down.

Jaspen - do you have low levels with your placenta?

Feels weird being home today. Not much to do as I did everything yesterday. Marley is sleeping and I've had lunch. Might as well kill some time on BB

howdy girls, quick one from me - just jumping on while at work to say "love youse all"

[jaspen]

Mel - yeh it seems at my scan last week I had an AFI (amniotic fluid index) of 6.28 which is at the lower limit before it is classed as a condition (5 and under is a condition). it seems at this stage there isn't much they can do so will discuss with OB tomorrow (whos read the report and hasn't rung so there is obviously no immediate problem or nothing immediate that can be don) and see what I have to do. Bubs is growing to dates exactly but given my last two have always been big for their stage I figure something could be going on. The rest of the u/s report indicates everything else is ok at this stage.

[MelS]

Jaspen - just read your other post about it. Hopefully it will be nothing to worry about and OB can put your mind at ease tomorrow. Let us know how it goes.
