Hi everyone,
Just thought i'd stop by and introduce myself and say hi.
My Son Sam was born 31st march.
Really looking forward to meeting other mums and people to chat to and ask advice.
Being only 24, I don't have any close friends who have children.I have also been diagnosed with PND,so it has been quite a sad and lonely time for me.
Look forward to hearing from some of you and hopefully meeting some wonderful friends.
Hi Laura, welcome! I'm sure you'll love getting to know the lovely ladies in this thread! Where abouts in Melbourne are you? Maybe we could get together one day if you are not too far away?
Catherinemoses-Thanks for you messsage.I live in Camberwell atm but I noticed you are from Ringwood and thats where my parents are and I am out that way at least once a week.would love to meet one day.Our babies are so close in age!
hi girls just a quick post from me tonight to let you know bec is having computer problems so will be offline for a few days ! welcome back eliycsha and welcome to Laura, we are a slow moving group but feel free to chat as much as you want ! im sorry to hear you have PND, what treatment are you having ?
Feels like ages since I was last on BB - been super busy for the past week with MIL and my parents visiting as Cam was christened today.
It all went well and my baby boy never put up a fuss ... even when extremely cold water was poured on his head. My family was very amused cos the priest said afterwards "He (Cam) did well (not to cry) cos that water was bl00dy cold!". Apparently the water is usually room temp, just not today!
I decided to make Cammie a christening cake rather than spend oodles on a flash cake. It was a basic white chocolate mud with white choc ganache icing, but I was pleased with how it came up, although I'm no star cake decorator! Will upload a pic or two on email when I get a spare five mins.
All well our end at the moment - we seem to be avoiding colds and flus. Will be pleased when MIL goes home tomorrow. I get on ok with her but my DH clashes with her. She's the type who can't tell you anything in under one minute iykwim ... every thing she says takes a five-minute long-winded explanation (the reason why DH can't tolerate her for long).
Reenie - glad to hear things are on the up-n-up on the cold and flu front.
Mel - how are you going? Even though thrush isn't terribly good news (... an understatement!), hopefully it's the answer to your questions.
CM - good on Flynn for holding his bottle - every day Cam discovers more about his hands, but he's not quite at the point of holding a bottle.
Luey - beautiful pix of Ethan. I typed a response via bigpond email to say as much ... then the damn computer packed it in (lost internet connection, acutally) and I lost the entire email. He's an adorable little boy!
Bec - fantastic news on your BM achievements. Won't be long and Jake will be booby feeding all the time! PCB expo was great ... we signed up for "swimming lessons", as my DH says. Will probably start in the next few weeks.
SG and Bec ... how was the Cats' big effort last night against Adelaide!! Hope the boys were in their navy and white stripes! I need a new Cats outfit for Cam ... he's virtually outgrown his 000 outfit. Good excuse to shop for him!
LauraB - welcome to our group! Hope you're going well with overcoming your PND.
Eli - welcome back and congrats on the birth of Seth ... glad to hear he's doing well.
Another two boys to add to the brood ... think that our only girls are Isabella and Seraya, is that right????
Must go, after 11pm and I'm buggered ... been a loooonnnng couple of days!
Thanks for your comments guys!
Melinda - I have been put on Zoloft about 2 months ago and also going to see a psychologist weekly.Although I am still having bad days every now and again, on the whole I am getting alot better.The hardest part atm is anxiety and trying to work out what is pnd and what is normal anxiety..it almost feels like retraining my brain.
On another note..how are your babies sleeping?do any sleep through yet?
Hi everyone I would like to join this little group too please. I have my boy Scout, born 24th March 2008. He is my fourth son, he has big brothers Corban 11, Kees (pronounced Case) 9 and Ardyn who is 6. So its almost like having just one baby again with him as the boys are at school all day its fantastic spending so much time together.
Scout was born 9 days late weighing in at a healthy 9lbs 9oz and a massive 59cms long. Yes I was incredibly uncomfortable as he looked like a baby giraffe. All arms and legs. He is a fantastic cruisy baby because to be honest with 3 brothers he doesnt have alot of choice. Lol
He is breastfed but does enjoy a bottle as well so Dad can feed him when I have had enough and also when he goes to sleepovers at Nannys house. I didnt have alot of success with breastfeeding my other boys so im enjoying it and have no immediate plans to give it up anytime soon.
Well thats a little about us and I will add photos when I work it out.
