Rails: Thats good that story time is getting there and yah about the nappies, i changed mason over to walker recently and made a difference with him too
Well i dont feel too good today, stomach is just not right, not sure if they are braxton hicks or not as i have never had them, but feels like really early labour signs so i would guess that its that, no idea lol, but havent done much and so tired!
I think Alex finally has another tooth coming and he's not complaining about it at all. He loves to spill drink down his front when drinking and he has learnt when i am on the computer to smack my right arm to get my attention he only does it the one side.
He did really well in his bed last night he didn't wake once so hopefully he will be in a bigger bed once the baby is here.
Alex will sit still when reading a book but Kimberley always wants to help or take the book away.
Glad all is going well Michelle
Still cant believe how far along you are now
Dee: hope you are recovering well
Time does seem to be passing quickly this time.
I was telling DH we better get the spare room ready as with my history of PE i could have the baby in the next 13wks or so.
I can't believe you only have 5 weeks left.
I should actually find a hospital bag to pack lol and find the bassinet mattress maybe lol, so unmotivated its not funny
Going to buy some supplies for hospital today though and have a layby of nappies etc to get out this week, so kinda sorta getting there lol, i dont plan on staying long in hospital so not taking much really, and if something happens then i will have stuff at home thats easy to find for Bill that he can bring in for me
Have a box of newborns on layby, so think i will just buy a bag of huggies to take to hospital, the hospital i go to supplies nothing so you have to take everything with you
Michelle - how many teeth is Alex on now ? .... Jesse has four on top & four on bottom, then he has the four front molars .... so 12 now, he has the eye tooth area swollen, so they will be next :(
Belinda - LOL, you better get going with that hospital bag, don't want to get caught out...it is all happening very soon isn't it :) ...what a good idea to layby the nappies.
Still no leaky nappy here ... YAY !! ... so think we found a solution to that problem :)
Jesse has been really fussy with his food again ... ggrrrr , seems he gets back on track with it munching everything up, then he does a turn around & wont touch anything ... very frustrating ...he has an awful pimply rash on his cheek, so think it must be that eye tooth still trying to poke thru, his poos have been disgusting too !
Jesse has begun to climb on stuff .... eeeekkkk .... have to move his little fold out couch away from our couch because he uses it to climb onto the big couch ... & he will try to climb on the chairs & anything really, have to watch him like a hawk !
The kitchen cupboards are all child proofed so he has now turned his attention to all the other draws & cupboards in the house, like the tv unit & the desk draws, so i have stuck gaffa tape on them to stop him opening ... doesn't look the best but have run out of the propper stuff & it is doing the job LOL ! ... he would always come wandering over to me with the liquid paper, or even worse a paper clip in his hand after getting into the desk draw (eekk) !!
Rails - Alex only has 8 teeth but I'm sure another one will be with us soon. Alex loves to climb also he can get on to the sofa and the coffee table. It only took him a couple of days to learn how to climb the slide in the garden.
We have had to put locks on everything as Alex loves going in draws.
I had a shocking night with Alex last night he was coughing so much his bed was wet and them he was sick. The only way to get him to sleep was to sleep next to his bed everytime i went to get some sleep in another room he woke up crying and coughing again.
Poor Alex Michelle .... hope he is better today & tonight, sounds like you had a rough night, hope you managed to get some rest today (hugs)
Forgot to mention earlier, Jesse has also turned into a real sooky bum ... everytime he doesn't get what he wants he will start bawling .... he will even do this pretend cry with his mouth wide open ...which i know is not the real thing ... cheeky boy ! ... think i remember a few of you having this problem about a week or so ago, Jesse was only sooking mildly .... NOT NOW !!!! .... :):(
Well quick update, must of jinx myself talking about no hospital bag
Started getting pains at 1am and ended up at hospital at 7ish till this arvo to be monitored, pains didnt get stronger and cervix was closed so they said i could come home
Since then cervical plug has started to come away, with the other two that meant i had them over night so we shall see
Will keep you updated anyhow, midwife said at this stage to be born is pretty good and he wouldnt need much, mainly on some feeding problems and at worst a drip, so scary that i might be doing this way sooner than i thought
Just went to woolies to stock up on stuff, so going to repack bag later as it was a bit of a rush this morning
Good Luck Belinda .... hope all goes well for you ... by the sounds of it, you might be heading back to the hospital quicker than you thought ..!! .... with the plug coming away that is a sure sign your little boy is making his way out ... :) ....((hugs)) xxxx
Jesse has the snots again ... boohoo ...:( ...i have got a sore throat & a bit of a blocked nose too ... so not feeling the best here, feel like i have been non stop sick for the last couple months, just keeps coming back (sniff)
Yesterday morning Jesse layed on his fold out couch with me all cuddled up & we watch Thomas the Tank on DVD .... was so cute, he doesn't sit still much anymore for cuddle time so i made the most of it.
Thanks Rails
Yes all seems to be going to happen soonish, had more of plug this morning and today and feel crappy, sort of little niggly pains but nothing major as yet, so we shall see how it goes
Glad you got some nice time with Jesse :) sounds very nice, hope you both feel better soon
Well had appointment today and of course they found something else to drive me insane over and had to go for another damn scan!!
Turns out report from a few weeks ago showed that cord blood was not pumping as well as it should or something, so had to be checked, this report was sent to them weeks ago and nothing was mentioned about it, i said to doctor doesnt anyone bother to read these reports when they actually come in, he said no we just look at them when you come in for appointment!
Anyhow had urgent scan at hospital 40mins later, so had a breakdown on the phone to DH as i couldnt believe they found something else! So he rushed over from work as i was crying on the street with 2 kids with me, poor luke was great though and helped me out.
Scan of course turned out to be fine in the end! So over it all atm, and so stressed its not funny
I get them being cautious about things but if original sonographer thought it was a problem then i think they would of put on report that it needed checking, these doctors are reading reports and making there own assumptions on what they think instead, they dont do scans as regular as sonographers so i think they should leave it alone!
On other news, pains have gone away now and dont seem to be going to return so just seeing what happens, but seems things are going to probally just happen when they are supposed, which in the end is better for baby and him growing some more first
Belinda I'm pleased that everything is okay in the end. I hate it when they don't look at reports till you go for a appt.
I had the same when i found out about the DS risk they had the report for a week and i could have had the CVS done but they didn't check it until i went to see the Dr. I keep thinking how long would they have left it without telling me.
I hope the next few weeks are not stressful for you and you can have a chance to relax before your little one arrives.
Well i hope the same Michelle
Still here playing the waiting game now :)
Just going to see my gp till then end now, and i so better not be at any stupid 42wk appointment at hospital, would go insane if that happens!!
Otherwise all is well, Mason is right into books now and brings them over for me to read to him over and over, nice but not all the time lol
How is everyone doing ?
Alex got his first black eye at the weekend he was standing on a chair and hit the TV until. He does everything Kimberley does and that is what she was doing in the afternoon. He also got a fat lip from falling off the coffee table and i wonder who he got that idea from.
It's going to be funny watching 3 of them all do the same thing. Alex loves Kimberley so much and is always with her.
Ouch to the eye and i know what you mean about doing everything the big kids do, Mason just follows luke around copying everything that he does, and luke being an 8 year old boy sure does some silly things for him to copy!!
Well still plodding along here waiting for something to happen, besides BH's nothing much going on, have doc appointment tommorow so he might be able to tell me if head is engaged now or not at least and then go from there, not long to go now anyhow
Michelle - Oh No .... ouchies with the black eye, is amazing how quickly they fall & hurt themselves isn't it .... Jesse is ALWAYS falling & bumbing his head, i worry that people will think i am doing it ... eeekkk !!
Belinda - hope all goes well at your appointment & you get no more nasty surprise info giving you a scare.
Well i have been pretty sick this time around with this cold/flu ... had to go to the doctors (which i hate going) & he gave me some antibiotics which seem to have helped already because i feel better today ....had to cancel a lunch date with a girlfriend because i wasn't up to it...gggrrr ....
Jesse is really testing me these days ... all the things he knows he is not allowed to touch or go near ... he is deliberatly touching, he will go next to it looking at me waiting for me to say NO ... then when i do the count he runs away on 3 ... cheeky boy !! ... he is back eating like a horse which i am really happy about. I bought some Pentavite vitamins supplement for him which i am going to give to him every second day ... to help with iron intake when he wont eat properly (the MHN suggested to me) , will definately ease my mind when he wont eat much.
Rails: Mason is the same atm with the testing us, its pretty normal although very frustrating as i am sure you know
Back from docs, head is 3/5ths engaged and he feels it wont be long for me, so felt good that all seemed fine with no extras!! Then went shopping to buy a few things and as i was leaving the shops i felt a strange feeling then had a gush of liquid, is just clear and wasnt a lot so could of been anything, been told to lay down for half an hour and then get up to see if anymore happens to come out, but so not doing that until DH is home from work just in case, also could be nothing and just some watery CM
No clue, why cant this bloody labour be like my last two??
Michelle - poor Alex with his black eye. Matthew is the same with his big brothers, loves being with them all the time, they are both great with him but Michael seems to be more mature and it`s Michael who Matthew goes up to all the time and says Up - to be picked up then Matthew thinks Michael will take him outside to play with him, which often happens but being 12 and 13 the boys don`t want a little brother tagging along all the time.
Belinda - Wow not long to go now for you. You sound so disorganised like I was LOL
Rails - Hope your feeling better.
Sorry girls I haven`t been on much, with the computer going stupid, it lets us connect if we`re lucky then will close down within minutes, then with myself and this stupid infection in my perinium which I`ve had for 5 weeks - antibiotics and 3 baths a day plus syringing the puss out in between the baths (sorry TMI) I`ve had very little time to myself. I`m sick of Dr`s, I see them about every 5 days, be glad when I`m back to normal again.
Matthew is growing up so much, he really needs a haircut but once I do that he`ll look more like a grown up boy :( Everyday he`s saying a new word and mimicking words said to him and putting words together, he`s still orgainsing everyone for instance if he wants to go outside he collects my thongs and my hat for me then tell me he wants outside, this often happens at very unconvenient times LOL He`s a real cutie but also a little devil, he loves Adrian today he was picking him up to try and put him onto the playmat (with Mummy`s supervision), all 7 kg of Adrian, I thought Adrian would be too havy but he managed to lift him up, he`s certainly a strong boy.
Take Care
Dee
Hi Dee it's lovely to see you.
I it great to watch them play together i bet it brings a big smile to your face to watch just wiat till Adrian is joining in as well.
I'm so sorry to hear you are still unwell i hope things start to get better soon for you.
Adiran is just a cutie in that picture wow @ him being 7 kilos he's going to be a big strong boy like Matthew.
Alex is around 13kilos still.
Belinda how are things going ? Not long to go now.
Angel how are you and Kynan ?
Rails how are you and Jess ?
Juliette how are you and Miss Hannah ? I think about you guys all the time and i hope things are going well. Did check out Hannah's website but no new pictures hope you get to update it again soon.
Shannon how are things with you ?
Is that nearly all of us in the May babies that had or having another one ?
Sounds very cute Dee :)
And sorry to hear your recovery is taking so long, hope things improve soon for you and you can get yourself back
Not long at all for me now, glad so far that the lead up signs are not as bad now so i dont read as much into them after falling for it once, i know i wont miss the real event anyhow, pretty hard to miss that lol
Trying to find the bassinet mattress but nowhere to be found, must ask mum where she put it
Michelle - The way time is flying it will not be long at all before all 4 boys are running around. I`m not sure what weight Matthew is now but at 15 months he was 13kg, don`t think he`s put on much more since then. It`s so funny when we go out we either get the comment that the boys are both different, one`s blonde and one`s dark or the other comment is Adrian is nearly as big as Matthew LOL
Matthew is so cute (other then the biting LOL) he is learning how to jump, oh I wish I had a video camera, it`s hiliarious watching him bounce all over the house.
Oh Michelle - I forgot to say I love the photos you sent and so does Matthew, he was talking and pointing at Alex :)
Dee that is so cute of Matthew looking at the pictures i emailed he knows who is little friend is :)
Have you got any pictures of Matthew and Adrian together ?
Cant believe Adrian is already over 2mths old, time just goes so quickly
Well only 20 days for me if things go to dates, we shall see, wouldnt mind in about 10 days from now myself but doubt it
Just bumping us up a bit, nobody has been around
Well only two weeks to go for me now, have had so much lead up stuff that i am pretty frustrated with it all, but hoping it will be over soon enough
hope everyone is going well
yeah ... it has been quiet hasn't it .... not really much to report here either, i have recovered from my awful cold & Jesse is better too....although he is off his food again this week & had a slight temp last night, just keeping an eye on him he seems fine otherwise just a bit clingy.
I have finally found a job !!!! .... it is nothing stressfull - just a job to go to & come home, not like my last job .... i will be doing data entry for citylink & it is in the evening from 6pm - 10pm .... 3 shifts a week - Tue/Thur/Frid .... i have to go to training this week from tomorrow then start the evening shifts next week. So we will have some extra money before xmas which will come in handy :)
Belinda - WOW .... 2 weeks left !! ....just try to relax for the next couple weeks (i know easier said) .... but you will be busy next month, so make the most of it while you have everything under control ((hugs))
Michelle - No #2 here yet ....dh & i have decided we will start ttc from next year, was my choice really i wanted to wait - dh wanted to try again ages ago. Hope you are feeling well, you are in the nice stage now, aren't you ?
Dee - funny you mention about Matthew needing a haircut .... dh is at me to cut Jesse's hair ... i won't be in it , it took soooo long for his hair to grow i joke that he won't be getting it cut until he is 3yo ... is funny atm he has a bit of a mullet that everyone comments on LOL hence this is why dh wants me to cut it .. i think it looks cute :)
Yah at the job Rails :)
OMG Belinda - you only have 11 days to go, how time flies :) Good luck hope it all goes well.
Rails - Congratulations on your job, great news
Michelle - How are you and your precious bump and beautiful kids?
Angel - How are you, Kynan and bump going?
Shannon & Juliette - Hope your both well.
Lesley - How are you going?
I took Matthew to Gymbaroo yesterday, hmmm I think I overdid it, I was totally exhausted before the class had finished LOL, Matthew seemed to enjoy it even though he wanted to cuddle every child there, not sure what the parents thought about it LOL I just feel Matthew and I need to do something together and for Matthew to socialise with other children his age but I think I should have waited till I was 100%, oh well I`ve gone and done it now.
Adrian is having a bad time of it with his vacs, he`s been running a very high temp, panadol works but I thought we were heading to hospital with him this morning, he was on fire,poor little man, otherwise he`s doing well, clinic nurse says he`s about 4 weeks advanced for his age, not sure if being so overcooked would have anything to do with him being advanced.
Hope your all well.
Take Care
Dee
Yes not long to go now, pains are here and there but not coming together as yet so not reading much into them anymore
Sorry to hear Adrian is not well, hope he improves very soon for you and glad Matthew enjoyed himself even though you over did it a bit
Take care
Oh will getting someone to post in birth announcements here when i finally have baby so keep an eye out there
Hey everyone,
Sorry I've not posted in here for ages! Hope you're all doing well.
Rails, congrats on your new job!
Dee, LOL @ Matthew wanting to cuddle everyone at gymbaroo. Kynan's very cuddly atm too but he's getting cheeky - when I ask him for a cuddle he runs up close to me and then runs away and laughs before I can hug him LOL. I hope Adrian is feeling better soon. Poor little mite. It's so hard when they're not feeling well.
Belinda, good luck with everything! Can't wait to see your birth announcement!
We are doing pretty well. Kynan's down to 2 BF he now has some rice milk as well. He's picked up a few new words lately 'flower' (ow-a), 'eyebrow' (eye-ow), and our cat 'Kiara' (ara). Very cute.
Had a scan the other day and the OB reckons it's a girl!
YAH on your little girl Angel :) congrats
And glad everything else is going well
Angel congratz on your little girl.
Dee hope Adrian is feeling better soon. Matthew sounds such a cutie with wanting to cuddle everyone.
Not long to go now Belinda. How is Mason doing ?
Alex is doing well still having heaps of tantrums. He hasn't put on any weight in ages so he's still 13 kilos and now he is 85cm long. He doesn't say many words yet but Kimberley was the same and now we can't shut her up lol
Michelle: no not long for me at all now, had a lot of lead up stuff that i thought would turn into something but nope not as yet
Mason is doing well, running amok and keeping us busy, doesnt say a lot of words either but i know they will come eventually so enjoying the quiet lol
Angel - Wow congratulations on your your little girl.Kynan sounds like he`s doing well.
Michelle - I`m finding Matthew is getting very frustrated at trying to do things then when he can`t the tantrums come, like this morning for instance he was trying to put his pants on, he got on leg through but had problems with his other leg so got frustrated and walked out of the room crying.
Belinda - Sounds like Masonm is being a typical boy :)
Matthew is saying a new word every few days, he will ask for a drink now which is great, with Adrian he calls him 'Ade' so cute, he`s also mimicking words like if I tell him to come and get dressed he`ll say "get dressed' or I asked him to sit down the other day he then repeated 'sit down'.
Think Matthew is getting his 2 year old teeth, the clinic nurse did warn us he may be getting them early since he got all his others early, he`s forever got his fingers right at the back of his gums, dribbling again and I can feel little bumps but who knows they could take months to come through.
Is anyone in here having there childrens photos taken for Bonnie Babes Foundation?
Take Care
Dee
Well sounds like he is doing well besides being frustrated with things Dee :)
how are you recovering now?
And forgot about the bonnie foundation photo thing myself
Dee - sounds like Matthew had fun though ... hope Adrian is feeling better now.
Belinda - LOL the countdown is on .... eeeekkk scary ... wishing you lots of ((( good labour vibes ))) .... will keep an eye on the birth announcements ((hugs))
Angel - glad the scan went well .... YAY for the little Girl !! .... so cute with Kynan's new words .... the only word i can make out is Hello (yayyo) he says it over & over while holding his hand to his ear (pretending to hold a phone LOL) ...he probably says more but i can't work it out :(
Well i had a terrible ordeal on Thursday ... was driving to my new job & while on the freeway (on a bridge) me being in the left lane, a semi trailor changed lanes from the right & didn't see me !!! ... i thought i was going to have a heart attack .... i really thought i was going to go over the bridge .... was awful ... the truckie said i was in his BLIND spot & thought i was not there anymore ... OH he also gave me a bit of advise - Don't drive beside trucks !!!!! .....i had a few things to say to that let me tell you. This would have to have been one of the worst experiences i had ever been through .... i keep thinking my poor little baby nearly lost his mother in a stupid accident. I am ok (exept emotionaly scarred) i am very thankful :)
Jesse is doing well .... running amok every chance he gets, loves to go outside & will cry at the backdoor if we go out without taking him ... he was a perfect child during the week when he was being look after while i did the training for my new job ... my mum had him one day & my SIL on another & they both said he was no trouble at all - which is nice to hear :)
Very scary experience Rails, glad you are ok
Thanks for the good labour vibes :)
still no symptoms here again, so just playing the old waiting game again
thanks Belinda .... yeah it was quite a fright i got .... Jesse has just pushed the button on the computer 3 times & switched me off .... aaahhhhhhhh ....i had heaps of emails that kept doubling up because the system was turned off incorrectly - he kept sneeking up without me seeing until it was too late ... little rascal !!
Have done my first evening shift on Tuesday night ... was ok - have my next shift tonight & then tomorrow night .... only 4 hrs so goes pretty quick :)
So with me being gone in the evening that leaves DH to fullfill his fatherly duties ... but i tell ya ... have to have everything practically spelled out for him .... he says "yeah yeah i know - i monkey could do it ".... then he does it all wrong ... gggrrrr !!!!!
LOL Rails, typical isnt it
Well i have had the baby, all went ok, and he was healthy thankfully after all the stupid scan scares along the way :)
He has settled in well and only really crys when he wants milk, so all up ok, Mason has been great, was a bit scared of him at first but now doesnt faze him at all, he was trying to hold his hand the other night so that was cute, havent set up a site so i can show pics of him in here as yet, but will soon, he is identical to mason at birth though
Congratulations Belinda.
Can't wait to see pictures.
The kids are all doing well here. Alex is starting to say a few more words now and he thinks it's great to kiss mummy and then wave goodbye so we get that for most of the day now. I think it's because of me being in hospital and that is what i was doing to them.
