I'm here just nothing interesting to report.
Still no AF but i'm getting some bad cramps so here is hoping she is here soon.
Kell hope you all feel better soon :)
I'm here too. Flitting in and out though - have a very very sick horse at the moment and hoping he pulls through :(
Kell - Hope you all get better soon. Those bugs suck. DD is still into night garden, but she's getting excited if I can get Waybaloo on at the right time!!
Hope everyone else is well.

Hope your horse is okay its not fun when they are sick
How many do you own? - i used to ride heaps before i had Ella and always wanted my own horse
I cant wait till she is big enough to go for a ride
I have two old boys, Kell. 26 & 27 years old, had them since they were 8 & 9. The older one went downhill fast yesterday. He stopped eating and drinking and was breathing really heavy. Heartrate was 80, should be 40. He's had two goes with tubes into his nose to get some water into his belly, and when that happens, he eats, but we can't get him to drink on his own. He's had blood tests that have come back with no infections and nothing sinister, so we have no idea what's wrong. They both live at my mum's house, so I'm going back there tomorrow again with the vet to rehydrate him again, but we don't know what else to do. He can't keep going like this. In the entire time we've had him we've only had the vet out to him twice, once for an injury and once for dermatitis. So this is all a bit scary and I don't like where it's headed. He's always been my boy and I love him dearly.
Wow, sorry, that was a bit long. Let you know what happens. Sick of all this bad luck, time for the good luck fairies to shine my way, me thinks!!

Fingers crossed he comes good. Whats his name?
They really get into your heart don't they i just love horses.
Had a good friend lose there boy Coots a big black horse last Friday and its devastating
He was such a beautiful horse makes me sad thinking about it. She had a lovely poem on facebook about him running free but much rather have them here with us xoxox
Hope he starts drinking again :crossfingers:
Corelly - I hope your poor horse is OK. How long can they live?
Kell - T loves In the night garden and Bananas in pyjamas. She hasnt seen anything else though!
Cheshire - hope your aunt visits soon. I really cant imagine missing her though!!;)
We are off to Lorne tomorrow as I have to speak and facilitate at a conference there and DH and DD are coming. Should be fun and full on too! We will spend the weekend in Apollo Bay afterwards and visit friends.
Sorry for MIA but SUPER busy:o
Kell - his name is Red. Hardly anything exciting or original! He's a beautiful chestnut and he turns a really rich red in summer. Our other one is Indy, a big bay boy. They've been best mates forever now and we've had to seperate them and Indy's just whinnying all the time. Not easy.
SP - the length of time horses can live for really varies. For a horse well cared for, can be anywhere around 30, but I'd consider anything 30+ as something really special. My boys were in harness racing before we got them, and worked pretty hard from a very excited teen rider :redface: when we got them, but have had a very lazy few years as they've gotten older. Good luck for the conference, and I hope you get a little bit of sun while you're in Lorne. What is the conference?
Anyway, DD is well and chatting up a storm. This week she can say Nonna, bottle, book and Makka Pakka. Was hilarious when she came out with that last one!

Bron if i didn't want to start TTC soon, i'd be more than happy for her stay away lol.
I just hope it's not heavy & painful.
Corelly sorry to hear about your horse & i hope Red starts picking up soon.
Hey girls, I'm back! We are slowly getting back into the swing of things. DP is looking for a job and hopefully he'll pick up something close to family soon. It's good to have him back but I'm actually looking forward to him going back to work :)
Will be back for personals later, hope everyone is well.
Welcome back FW! I can imagine how much you're loving DP being home again!
Good news from me! Red picked up and started to eat and drink again! The vet this morning came out with the belief that she would have to put him to sleep, but he was okay before she got there and his heart rate is normal again. PHEW! We don't know what caused it, but are thinking that maybe he's eaten something suss, then has refused to eat or drink because it was causing pain, which then led to him getting sick really fast. I'm so so relieved he's okay. Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

Great news Corelly about Red!!!!! :leap:
What a relief!!!!
Welcome back FW must be great having him back :D
DP proposed last week, I guess I should be calling him DF now :D We are pretty excited and will be having a huge engagement party in the next couple of months, the wedding won't be for at least a year.
We had such a nice time in Brisbane and caught up with a lot of friends. We were all exhausted by the end of the week though from all of the running around. We're having a b'day party next weekend for Alexandra which will mainly be family so that will be fun.
Corelly - How did you go with weaning? We are nowhere close to weaning yet, in fact A has been wanting boobie more over the last week. Good news that your horse has come good - I think that we become attached to animals just as much as humans, especially when you've had Red for so long.
Kell - A still watches Yo gabba gabba and she also watches chuggington sometimes. We have pay tv at my parents so can tabe it on the mystar box thing and generally when I want to get something done I'll put on an episode for 15-20mins of quiet time. Wow, that time has gone really fast for you SIL, doesn't seem like that long ago when you first told us that she was pregnant.
Mo - That's exciting, another one of us TTC. We probably won't be trying again til next year. Is there anyway that you can bring on AF? I started the minipill recently and got AF for the second time since A was born 2 days after I took the first tablet, not sure if it was a coincidence or not.
SP - Hope that the conference goes well and that you get a chance to relax as well :)
OH FW!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :dance: You must be over the moon! What an exciting time ahead for you.
Weaning is going okay. I gradually have dropped feeds since she turned one and she dropped the morning feed to my surprise herself a few weeks ago. I totally stopped on Friday, and Sunday has been the worst of it. She was crying, I was crying, so I went and had a long shower and by the time I came out, she was asleep with DH. She's on cows milk with her breakfast and lunch and I give her a cup of formula before she goes to bed, but I think once I've finished the tin, I'll just go with the cows milk. It's been pretty uncomfortable for me, even with only the one feed per day. I've expressed every day just to comfort level and last night was the first night I didn't need to and I'm still okay today.
Hope everyone is well. What are all the babies eating these days?
Corelly x
Congarts FW, That is great news :)
Corelly K will try/eat anything. He favs are finger foods, pasta, Chicken & she loves fish.
Maddi on the other hand would be happy to live off yoghurt & Cheese.
Hi everyone!
Just thought I'd say hi and see what everyone's up to. We've been busy over here, took DD on her first train ride into the city today, and she was just so good. She's really starting to talk now, lots of different words. We're having so much fun with it, seeing what she says next. She's finally falling asleep for DH, which is just a lifesaver for me, and actually starting to go to bed between 8.30-9pm so I'm finally beginning to feel a bit more human and DH and I can have a bit of time together after he gets home from work.
That's it from me, off to bed.

CONGRATS FW HOW EXCITING :dance:
Nothing much happening here
Just getting over our flu's from the last few weeks!
Yep heaps of new words here too. she actually called out jamie to her uncle jamie he was stoked.
yah for Mo that's so exciting about ttc again - maybe we will end u in another baby buddy group together!!!!
I feeling a bit down about our ttc - id forgotten how much i hate the waiting - waiting to ovulate waiting to test. also two of the mums in our playgroup are about to pop again and it makes me wish it was me. i know he/she will be worth the wait just hope it happens sooner rather than later. Am holding no hope for this month. think ill just wait for AF to come and not bother testing.
Ella will eat most things when shes in the mood. some days not much some days alot. she doesn't seem to like chicken but still loves her vegies and fruit and of course anything that is sweet although try to limit it as much as i can.
Hows the weaning going Corelly?
Kell I'm with you on waiting part, I honestly thought AF would be here by now & there still no sight of her. So darn depressing! Looking more & more likely that I'll have to wean K, then I'll feel selfish for doing that just so we can have another baby.
I'll be back tomorrow with personals :-)
