Oh no, what a dilemma. :( So sorry to hear that. How often is T feeding now? Will it be difficult to wean her?
SP - I didnt know that. that is a dilema sorry to hear you have to make such a tough decision. Hope the new baby is okay and you can keep feeding T :hug:
AF has visited me yesterday - if it works this month will be the exact day Ella was due 25th march i hope this is an omen or something - fingers crossed :goodluck:
I did use an internet cheapie test earlier in the week but was neg :-( so knew she was coming didn't know it would be the 18th of june though!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe getting hopes up for nothing but i gotta think positive :-)
Fingers crossed Kellie.
How are you today SuperP?
Congratulations SP, I really hope things work out for you, no advice just :hug:
Good luck this month for those trying to conceive!
AND a super, super selfish bragfest inc...
MY BABY IS NOW A TODDLER!
Imogen took her first steps last night, 3 in a row. This morning she did 5, then 7 and then 15! My little darling is OFF... very beautiful day here with lots and lots of walkies. So cute and so awkward still... just wow, they are amazing to watch. So 15months old and she has done it, just like her Mummy -- the little copycat hehe.
Go Imogen thats great :leap:
What a clever girl be no stopping her now!!!!!!
Oh wow Jellyfish! How exciting!
SP - Hope you're okay and everything is okay. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending sticky vibes.
Kell - Might be a super good omen! Hope you have some luck this month.
DD had us in stitches today. She can count to 9. I can't quite get my head around it but she can do it and grins like crazy when she does, like "Look how clever I am, Mummy!" Hehe
Corelly x
Jellyfish- That is fantastic! Well done little Imogen. It is so cute to watch isn't it? I could watch those forst steps over and over again.
What a clever little cookie you have Corelly. :)
JF that is fantastic, watching them walk is so cute.
SP hope your doing ok :hug:
Corelly your DD is so clever.
Kell fingers crossed you get a bfp this cylce.
Jane i hope you & the girls are well :)
Not much happening here, i feel horrible kinda like i'm getting the flu but the Girls are doing really well.
Thanks JM & Mo. I'm proud of her chatter, but a little freaked too. I mean she can talk but not walk! So funny!
I hope the flu passes you by Mo.
I'm going to work this week and next week. Three days in both weeks. When I left my job I promised my boss if she wanted a holiday, I'd be happy to help her out and fill in. She hasn't had a holiday for 12 years, so I wasn't expecting her to call on the favour this soon! She's told all the customers that I'm coming back, but making out its for good and making a big deal about it all. She exagerates everything and it drives me nuts. I don't want to go but the money will be handy right about now, but I'm going to miss DD. My mum is babysitting for four of the days, DH the other two. I guess it'll be over before I know it and then I'll have to fend X-boss off because she'll push for me to go back.
Corelly x
Corelly, that is amazing! Must have shocked you a bit to hear haha. Hope work goes alright for you.
Hope you are feeling better soon, Mo.
JF - Super good news that your girl is walking!
Corelly - and your little girl counting! Wow!!
Kell - that would be so cool if you had the same dates. You know when I had my boys my dates were the same 2 years apart!
AFM - BAD news! I had an ectopic and had my right tube removed yesterday! So sad but grateful to be alive. I am very lucky actually as I just happened to have an internal ultrasound to check out the bleeding cause and they found the mass in the tube. Am taking out private insurance again now as the public hospital was absolutely appauling! I am lucky to have lived through that too.
Anyway the doc says my let tube is still fine and will compensate so hoping to try in 3 months for our last bub. The whole experience made us more aware of our need to be healthy and that we would like another baby soon. My Dh is a bit flat after all the ordeal. He is a terrific support but got scared.
Had to wean T as I had a general but it is good to get it over with I guess. We didnt have a choice in the end.
Love to you all and thanks for your support.
Bron
SP i'm sorry to hear that but i'm glad your safe. Lots of :hug:
SP - so sorry to hear this. glad you are okay that must have been really scary big:hug:
So sorry to hear that super P. :hug: A friend from my September BB group had an ectopic and lost her tube, she is now pregnant with her second. She ovulated from the side without the tube and the other tube managed to collect it. Our bodies are wonderful things, best of luck concieving i hope it is smoother than you imagine. xx
Oh SP! Hope you're okay and you and DH get over the shock of it all soon :hug:
Corelly x
SP - I'm so very sorry to hear your news :( I'm glad that you're ok and hope that you have a quick recovery :hug:
Corelly - Your DD is making such great progress and sounds like a very clever little chicken! How are you finding going back to work? Fingers crossed that things start picking up and the phone starts ringing for your business.
Mo - I am super jealous too. Alexandra is teething at the moment and must find "ba-boo" as she calls is comforting because she is wanting to be fed all the time, it's starting to get frustrating and I don't want to start resenting her for wanting it.
JM - I got a thanks, but no thanks, reply for the job that I applied for which was disappointing. I shouldn't have let myself get my hopes up so much.
Kell - Having the same due date as Ella definitely sounds like a good omen, fingers crossed that this is your month!
JF - Yay!!! Go Immy, that's fantastic news!
AFM - I feel like I have missed so much after being on a self imposed internet break. I am pretty stressed at the moment. We are trying to figure out what to do and DF wants to go back to Brisbane and I want to stay up here, but there is only so long that we can hang around waiting for either of us to get a job. Our GP thinks that Alexandra might have asthma which is a bit scary because I remember my little brother being so sick with asthma when he was little and having to go to hospital a few times. I wanted to have an engagement party in the next couple of months but I was planning on having it up here and if we go back to Brisbane I don't know what we'll do. We won't be getting married for at least a year I reckon, I'm not even going to think about it until we get settled first.
Oh SP I am so sorry :hug: I am really glad you are okay, I hope you are feeling better soon and make a quick recovery. If you need to talk we are all here :hug:
Sorry about the job FW, hope you can find something soon so you can stay up there! Small consolation if you have to come back to Brissy we can hang out again.
More good luck vibes for you KB!! Hope this is your month :)
I'm still super psyched about my little lady walking. She doesn't do it much and is pretty wobbly, still prefers to crawl everywhere or hang on to things to get around. How long would you say it took for your bubs to transition between crawling preference and walking preference? Do your bubs still crawl now or do they fully walk? Not in a rush, just curious and excited hehe.
Oh also wondering how much any little ones are breastfeeding? I think my DD is feeding too much and its causing her to not eat much solids which is worrying me a bit because she is so tiny but because she won't eat much solids, I want to feed more... vicious cycle! I think I need to bite the bullet a little and hold of feeding slightly and wait for her solid intake to pick up but the thought of her going hungry makes me ill...
JF it took about 2 weeks for K to prefer walking over crawling & K's solid intake was the same, it wasn't till we started cutting out the booby that she started eating more. For what it's worth K was never hungry instead of offering booby i offered her food. She always ate when she was hungry :)
FW sorry about the job, hope you can both sort something out so your happy :)
SP :hug:
Thanks to all of you for the hugs! Am resting in bed and get to see my little girl all day for 2 weeks so not all bad.
DH is sleeping a lot when he is home. The whole thing wore him out. I have just signed up for hospital insurance and booked my own after care follow up as the hospital did nothing!
FW - sorry to hear about the job. There must be a better one around the corner for you.
FW - Sorry about the job. Hope something comes your way soon.
SP - Enjoy that time in bed with your beautiful girl. Thinking of you.
DD is still crawling, but on Sunday she took hold of her walker and she was off, laughing her head off, me grabbing the video camera and blubbering like the biggest sook. It was awesome, after everything she has been through, to see her grab hold and walk. Won't be long now before she builds her confidence and walks alone, I'm sure. We're doing lots of practice with her numbers, it's not something I want to lose. Work today was okay - I was given plenty of things to do so the time went quickly.
On another note - am very glad the Melbourne gunman was caught! I live very close to Whittlesea!!!!! AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!
Corelly x
Corelly i'm glad he was caught as well, must of been scary having him so close to you.
WTG to your DD, sounds like she'll be off in no time :)
SP most of my experiences with public hospitals in the south east have been bad. I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience.
Hey Mo, are you in Melb? I saw that the Eltham Little Theatre is putting on a production of a musical Alice in Wonderland :)
What naps are your bubbas having (not that they are babies anymore) should say toddlers!!!
Ella has one in the morning around nine and an arvo one but having trouble with the morning one - maybe she dosent need it anymore?
at this age is 11 o clock a good time or should just leave her till 1pm?
what is everyone else doing??
My friends little boy three weeks older than Ella has ZERO naps in the day that would just do my head in and she has another baby due in a month :o !!!!!!
I'm in the outer south east Corelly, Will look into thanks :D
Kell Kodi has 1 nap around 11-1pm for about 2hrs, most toddlers start dropping to 1 nap a day around this age :)
Thanks Mo - that makes sense then i knew she would prob be close to dropping a sleep but while she was happy to have it wasn't going to stop it
think i will try the 11 o clock sleep and see how we go!
Oh I feel lucky on the nap front. T is sleeping 10ish for 2 hours and then again at 4 ish for 2 hours and then down around 7.30pm for an 11 hour sleep! I know the boys did nothing of the sort though! I think DS1 dropped his one day sleep by 18 months. There are so many variations on normal.
Corelly - Eltham is a lovely place to visit. T is too small for sitting through Alice in Wonderland I wreckon but it sounds like a good event. We will be at Monsalvat (in Eltham) for my DS2 to film some of his Yr 12 Media project next Tuesday. It is an amazing place that encourages artists.
Corelly that is so amazing that your DD is counting. Never seen that at her age before - and I have seen a lot of bubs. Sounds like she will walk soon!
T is saying lots of words now which is cool. She tells a story about a dog in the park with sound effects when my mum reminds her - very cute. When I was in hospital she was so good - she snuggled into my bed and didnt move - just read books and slept for much of the time.
We got a lovely table and chairs from Aldi today for T. She ate her lunch at it just now. There were heaps of parents buying toys for Christmas - very cheap but nice wooden stuff. Check it out ASAP if you can as it started today and stock was going fast.
Weve been :-) We fought 1000 other people at 8.30 this morning to get the wooden kitchen i even got shoved by some lady who pushed me to get to the toys :o
Got a wooden tea set, puzzles and the kitchen and a sink/dishwasher but that was plastic
They had good stuff. thought about getting the boys train track but i might never have a boy so i restrained myself :lol:
DD is having one nap for 2hrs (occasionally 3) from about 11am, has been doing this for a while now but can't remember exactly when she started. She goes to bed by 8pm and wakes for the day around 7:30am.
DD isn't napping much at all during the day. If we go out in the car she will, but at home, nada! She's been going to bed earlier, but only occassionally sleeps through, but I noticed tonight another tooth has popped through, so maybe she'll settle again. I'd love her to sleep a bit more, she has her quiet moments during the day, but little sleep.
SP - Montsalvat is lovely. I'm in Eltham too on Tuesday, working though. I'm so excited DD can count and she's getting quicker too. Someone said today that maybe because she had to sit still for so long, that she has developed in other areas quicker than normal. Sort of makes sense I guess. During her plaster and brace, I talked to her a lot so maybe that's all rubbed off.
I'm three days into six days of work, tired and getting a cold. When kids are sick we've always found that parents bring them to the shop to buy a new book so they can rest. And give me the bugs! Got into the codral today so hopefully can fob it off. Work is okay, the shop seems to have been a bit neglected, books are all over the place, so I've been keeping busy tiding and making new displays. One stand is exactly how I left it over 15 months ago! Bit of a worry!

Kodi was dancing this afternoon to the new Usher song, she was spinning around in circles when she tripped over feet & hit her forehead on the corner of the wall.
1st i thought she just knocked her head, but when i picked her up blood was pouring of the cut, she had blood all over her face, on her clothes, on my top & all over the tea towel. It was horrible!
She was lucky & only needed it glued together & bandages put on. We go back in 5 days to get re checked.
Poor Kodi. It looks really nasty, Mo. Hope you're both okay!
Corelly x
It is nasty looking, she had a little tanty just before & hit her head, so now her bandage is soaked with blood so looks like we are back off to the DR's tomorrow to get it re done.
I saw the pics on facebook- poor Kodi and scary for you too - hope it heals fast:hug:
I never want to see that much blood come from either of my girls ever again.
Thanks ladies K is doing well today, Dr told us to keep her dosed up on pain relief for the next few days so that seems to help.
You can always tell when she's due for more, because she'll touch her head & go ouch and she becomes very grouchy :(
Poor Kodi. I hope she is not put off dancing! Isnt it terrible when cute turns to tragic!! I hope she heels quickly Mo.
Corelly - Wow 6 days of work - huge! Hope you kick the cold quickly. Ascorbic acid (purest you can find0 in large doses seems to work very well even after symptoms start.
Kell - yeahthe Aldi crowds can be pretty selfish even on a normal shopping day I have found. The toys were really cute and was tempted to buy all of them! T loves her table and chairs and plastic food. She is looking so grown up now. Tried herr eating at the table and it works until she decides to get up and feed the dog : )
Aw poor Kodi! I hope it heals quickly, Mo.
SP - Thanks, am trying to kick the cold and have tried really hard to avoid giving to DD, but no luck :( . Tonight she's super grizzly and running nose. DOH!!!! How are you going?
Last night DD woke up at about 1. DH was sleeping in our spare room because of me being sick, so I snuggled DD in with him and left them to it. I got a blissful 8 hours while for the first time ever, DH woke about a billion times because HE was worried about DD falling out, rolling into the wall, him squashing her, etc....... And all I could do this morning was secretly think, "SUFFER MATE!" and quite openly laughed at him! It was nice for him to go through what I go through every time DD sleeps in with us! Yep, bad wifey, bad!!!
Corelly x
Dr said K's cut is healing nicely, i'm so happy :D
LOL Corelly, i remember being that anxious when i first start co sleeping Maddi, DF was so scared he'd hurt her he started sleeping in the spare room.
Even now he's still paranoid about sleeping next to Maddi unless he's napping, lol
It's become second nature to me, i think the only time i've had the bed to myself since Maddi was born was the night before i had Kodi.
Hehe Mo. I think these big hunks of men just look at these tiny babies and go, NO WAY!!! I'm going to squash her!!!
Corelly x
Corelly have sent you a PM so we can be facebook friends - i need some more friends for frontierville
I cant sleep with DD i still get scared ill roll on her!
Kell - No worries, have sent the reply :) As far as co-sleeping goes, I wish I'd never ever relented. It was by accident I did, we were away and she was so distressed that I put her in bed with us and its gone from there. Now she's a thrash-about-in-sleep baby, so I get even less now. Hehe.
I'm not having the best of weeks this week. DD caught my cold that I had so poor little munchkin is just sick and a bit sad. It's my last day at work tomorrow so that's a good thing, I've enjoyed it, but ready to be at home again. DH ended up quitting his job (he had three days to go) in absolutely spectacular style - have you ever wanted to tell your boss where to go? Well he did :D but now we're really on the scary bandwagon of trying to get our own work. On top of that Vic Roads pulled his van off the road to get a new gas tank after that Honda exploded, so we forked out $2500 to get it done, and today he goes to show them the certificate and they tell him, oh no, didn't we tell you, you need a roadworthy as well. We need the van on the road now so he can work, needed it going yesterday. GRRRRR. And the best thing of all to make it an awesome week is that his stupid mother rang my parents to see if she can talk to him. We have had nothing to do with her for four years, she knows why, it's a really really long story, and she rang to speak to my mum because now they "share a grandchild". Oh no you don't witch-from-hell. Over my dead body.
So anyway......
How are you all?! :D
