Hi everyone, hope you haven't all melted in the heat!
Hey Dragonstorm sounds like Nate is lots of fun now. Lewis was still up at 5am until recently, now he will generally go until around 6am-6.30am which is a nice lie in . I think it's because he finally dropped his morning sleep and now just has a lunchtime one.
Starfish - Diana sounds like she has cracked the potty training then. I haven't even started with Lewis but he will go nappy-less at home for quite a while now.
Teepee and Celsie - You must be suffering in this heat Oh well not much longer
Charly - sounds like your two really are bulldozers! I bet DD1 inspires DD2 to be a daredevil too. Lewis loves climbing now, I found him with the oven door open (switched off obviously) stood on it trying to reach for his dummy on the kitchen bench. Scared the life out of me. We have got a safety catch on there but the heat of the oven makes it unstick.
PP - How is Ethan, he must be growing up so fast?
Lewis is going through the 'acky' phase where he can't get his hands or feet dirty. When he falls over he just holds his hands out and says 'acky, ta' until I wipe them off. What a prima donna! Hope that phase doesn't last long. Think that's the whole reasoning behind him not liking the sand aswell.
hi everyone
been a very long time since i posted in here but things have been full on. looks like all ur lil ones are going great immy is ok not putting on much weight she is 9 kg ang has been since she was 1 so we are waithing to hear from the peads and go and find out what is going on. we have had another baby a boy this time he is almost 4 months old now time is going way to fast we had a few problems with him when he was born he wasnt putting on any weight and it turns out that his vitamin b12 levels were really low and so were mine but things are going good now and he is getting bigger just hope nothing to bad is wrong with immy oh well i best be off i have lots to do today
Lira - I hope you gets some answers for Immy really soon.
Bad news from our camp. I've been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I had the standard test, which knocked me about, so I wasn't surprised when they called later that afternoon to ask me to come back in for the two hour one... and obviously, that didn't go well either. I'm really annoyed with IMVS and the doctors. I waited 36 hours for results and no-one called. I called IMVS who did the test and they said they'd passed the results onto the maternity suite and they'd put me through. No worries. The girl who I spoke to said "I'm not qualified to read the results"... are you telling me you can't read??? So, I had to wait till a doctor could be bothered to call me back and tell me. The doctor was very vague and said that somone "should" call me this week to let me know what happens next.
So, I'm quietly terrified, as I don't really knows what this means for me or the baby. I'm also starving, because I'm trying not to eat anything with any sugar in it, natural or otherwise. Grrr...
Caeleb and I have both been struck down with colds, although he seems over his and I'm still coughing and spluttering. It's not been the best week for health in this household.
I've been watching the fires on the tv in utter shock. I can't believe so many people have lost their lives. It's just so sad. We went straight to the NAB on Monday morning and made a donation. I'm glad the nation has pulled together to support the people of Victoria.
Congratulations on your new baby Lira! Hopefully Immy will be okay, they don't tend to put much weight on once they start walking so fingers crossed it's nothing serious.
Celsie - Sorry to hear about your GD. Try not to worry, it seems to be really common nowadays doesn't it? I was borderline last time and they told me to follow a low GI diet but I didn't have to take insulin. My friend had it really bad both pregnancies and had to inject 4 times a day. However both babies were fine, the second one had to be monitored for the first 2 days and was put in a seperate unit for 48 hours but all was good in the end. I think they will take extra measurements to see if your baby grows more than it should. But try not to stress too much
Yes the fires are just terrible, it makes you realise how lucky we all are for what we have. I work for a charity and a group of staff have gone down to organise kids activites etc. I couldn't go because I have Lewis and DH works nights but I would have loved to have been able to help out.
Lira - congratulations on your new little bubby!! I hope everything turns out fine with Immy
We too have been having a rough time health wise. Started out with the girls getting colds which has turned into yukky chesty coughs and for some reason DD#2 can't keep her temp down. Been to dr so just have to monitor. So for mummy & daddy it's been not much sleep - which of course results in mummy getting sick. Ah shuz butt! Then to make things a little more spicy as though colds weren't fun enough, DH crushed and broke his finger at work on the weekend and bless him, he's trying to do as much as he can to help but you just don't realise how important a limb is until you can't use it!
But it all pails into insignificance in a sense when you watch the news - doesn't take away from what we each are going through but you just realise how blessed you are. Gosh I've lost count how many times I've had a tear! A group of us girls associated through my craft business are planning a fundraiser event for it all. It may or may not be much but in my mind every little bit counts.
Firstly - apologies Lira - I did mean to congratulate you on the new addition. What did you call him?
Thanks for the replies girls...
I went out shopping straight after I posted. I bought some cot manchester and newborn clothes in (insert four lettered name of a colour in here) (yes, I realise both pink and blue have four letters... ) for this little baby. I've not bought it a single thing till today! I know... horrible Mummy. Made me feel so much better though. Amazing what a bit of retail therapy will do.
I got a call from a Diabetes Counsellor whilst I was out. She was lovely and was able to squeeze me in for an appointment tomorrow. So, all my questions will be answered then. There's about four or five girls in my belly buddies who have GD now, so they've been great with support and advice. I've been told to expect the Ob's to try and take over with everything, including the birth, so I'm going to try and keep control as much as I can.
I was able to feel no: 2's foot yesterday. He/she was sticking it straight out of my belly, so I grabbed it and received a hard kick for my troubles. I remember playing the same game with Caeleb. Must be getting squashy in there as I can feel elbows, knees and heels most of the time now, especially at night time when I'm trying to sleep. Still no stretch marks either!!! YAY!!!
Okay, I've got to go start cleaning my house. I've got my MIL coming over to look after Caeleb while I'm at my appointment tomorrow. For some strange reason, she never calls before coming over and every time she comes over, my house looks like a tip. Yet, when it's immaculate, no-one ever comes over... is it just me, or does this happen to everyone?

Oh Celsie! Yay it's not just me!!! *hugs* I have gotten a rather big bee in my bonnett (DH thinks its a wasp, lol) and so I am pulling things apart and chucking things out and rearranging etc etc......and everyone decides it's time for a visit to Charly's house!! Sooooo embarrassing!!
That's so cute that you're grabbing bubby's limbs, lol!
Just a selfish vent warning *blush* my sister is due end of may with her first bubs. We've become quite close in the past couple of years yet recently, she'd rather involve her friend (who has been then hasn't been then has been her friend etc). So her friend is helping set up the nursery, her friend is going to appointments (my one chance it seemed went when I came down with gastro) and they go out shopping together. DH & I offered so many of DD#2's things to her and now she's tellling me stories of how wonderful her friend is and she gave her this and this and this and this.....all which I had already offered her. I'm embarrassed as I know I'm simply jealous so am trying to refocus my thoughts and send baby vibes and sticky dusts to DH's sister and getting all the things spick and span for her. I am so fine if she doesn't want them though! Its just with my sister, it was like her friend was her saviour for doing what i had already done. I am making all the invites (all 25+) of them!! for the baby shower and co-ordinating it all but it seems like, well I'm supposed to now because I'm the sister, ykwim?
Ahhhh sorry, just feeling bit sad and sorry for myself today. So much so I've rearranged DD#2's bedroom! Lol! (hence the bee/wasp )
Anywhooooos DH did get intrigued, almost excited when I began to discuss with him giving baby things away. He thought I'd finally been won over and yep, 2 babies was enough for us. Wroooo-ung!! I said, "Nooooooo, if we do go again, we'll just be given stuff or buy things brand new but there's not much point us having the stuff when clearly we won't be needing it all for the next couple of years. Too cluttered"
..........and DH went
We're kind of doing our own family Red Cross drive too - that's what spurred the big clean up - to donate as much as we can. Tyring to explain to DD#1 why was quite comical. In the end, after I had explained that fire had taken all the mummies, daddies & children's things, she asked if they were naked then???? Ah innocence is precious.
Ok, must dash. Miss you all! Hope everyone is having fun where ever you are, and staying safe. I hope all your friends and family are safe too xx
