Babies Born May 2006 #29

Just thought I'd quickly post so I don't fall behind whilst at my prac tomorrow!

Ellissa I hope Archie's shots went okay tonight.

Christine I'd be nervous as well. Fingers crossed that this is going to help you find a resolution though.

Vic Whoo hoo for Adam walking!! What a smart little man :clap:

Shazz Eeeek at all those teeth!

Kim I hope Darcy is feeling better soon :hug: Thanks for saying the photo looks cool anyway. Its one of my favourites of Em - he's eating his foot LOL. I can't wait to move and get all my stuff framed and put up on the walls! So exciting!!!!

Okay I'm off to make my lunch for tomorrow like a good little girl and then off to bed. Technically you won't see me till after I've come home and AFTER I've written my journal entries!! Hit me if I'm posting and I haven't done them!!!

Nighty night girls! Have a great Thursday!

Kim, I wish you were coming to tresillian this week LOL

Good luck for Monday Christine....we'll be thinking of you. YAY for the 3.5hr sleep, its a start!

Vic: YAY for Adam walking!!!!

Kim: Hope Darcy gets better soon

Shazz: OMG @ all those teeth!! Jayden has his 4 top (front)teeth and 2 (front) bottom. SIL mentioned he'll be getting his 1yo molars soon, so not looking forward to it hehe. I hope the last one pops through soon!

I have the next 2 days off work as my Nan is coming up from Melb for Jayden's bday, so I am off to Michael Hill Jeweller to grab a bargin ($250 things marked down to $40 etc) I might grabbed a few things for Jayden's party on Saturday and then by lunchtime I will head down to Hervey Bay to pick up my Nan from the airport there.....then we might go shopping in Hervey Bay hehe. I'm not sure how long she is staying so I will be a bit MIA no doubt until she goes as she is staying in the study. I can pop in when she is up, I just no long posts for a while hehehe.

Have a great week girls oxoxox

Eww Shazz at those teeth - we've still only got two......

Just quickly.

Kim - about the pregnancy, baby and kids show next weekend.
With all the sickness in the family looks like I won't be available to go now.
Let me know if you would like the two free passes, and I will drop them in to you at home or post them to you.
Sorry.

Just got home from shopping....I got 3 pairs of earrings and a ring, valued at $870 for $146!!! There was so much I wanted but Chris will kill me as it is haha

Ok off to get ready to go to Hervey Bay

Wow Tania!

Sorry we won't be able to meet up Leanne. :hug: I have sent you an email though.

Well just got the dragon weighed - she has only put on 100gm but grown 3cm. She feels so much heavier I was surprised.

kim - u poor thing, im really hoping Darcy gets better for u really soon.

vic - well done Adam!!! how exciting

christine - goodluck with Tresillian, im sure they will help make a huge difference to Riley's sleeping, well done on asking for help that is a very brave thing to do.

Tania - enjoy every minute of Jayden's 1st birthday!

Well Archie had his needles last night and he was fine only cried a little bit. But the best thing is that i wasn't worried in the least and i even held him down while they did it, usually i can't even be in the same room or i pass out, so i am feeling very strong and confident now, have beaten a 20 year phobia, woohooo!!! His arms are a bit tender today though. He is 80cmtall and weighs 11.31kgs, he is finally jumping ack up to the top of the charts.

Hope u all have a good day today

Hi girls...
just a quick one!
Christine... you will be so relieved in a few weeks... with long sleeps! You won't know yourself. Believe me, it's all good. But do expect the first couple of days to be a little bit hard - but in the end, it's all worth it. Still haven't found out where my cousin Cheryl works - but look out for her!

Tania... well done on the bargains! I was at my local shops and saw a few people queueing at MH. They must only be letting a few people in at a time. They did a big 'opening' sale down there about 18 months ago - and they had 1 diamond ring really cheap (only 1). I got there at 6am and queued outside in the cold. When doors opened at 8am, I ran inside - expecting to be first. Only to find that two girls had snuck in through a staff entrance somewhere. There was a big uproar and they said they would never do it that way again.

Elissa... good to hear that Archie didn't cry much for his needles. Shaun has a cold at the moment & teething, so I'll wait a week or so and get his done.

Kim... I'm expecting the same height/weight results for Shaun. He seems taller, and is growing out of his growsuit jammies. But he seems thinner! He still wears 00 pants because his waist is too small for 0-1.

I had the 12 week scan today, and it seemed good. Baby had a good nasal bone, and is perfect length. Doc seemed confident. Had to wait an hour because he was running late! Not happy about that. In the last 2 days it seems the m/s has eased up, which I hope it has. I can't believe how bad I've felt for 8-10 weeks... every single day! So over it.

Hopefully will have some energy now to organise my house and get it ready for auction. Kind of dreading it though. Might cut it fine and settlement will be around the week I give birth!!

Shaun has had 3 teeth for a while now - and suddenly he cut two teeth overnight, with another one on its way. As you can imagine, this has led to a few sleepless nights. But he's handling it pretty well. Bites down on everything and thinks it's funny!

His birthday is on Sunday, but we're not planning anything. I'm too sick, and little shaun has no idea what day it is. I'll do a really special 2nd b'day party. He goes to occassional care (2 days a week) and they told me to bring cakes in for all the kids on Tuesday! So now I have to bake cupcakes for 15 rugrats! But she said they will all get a kick out of it (including shaun) because they all love him to bits. He's one of the little ones there... and when ever he arrives they all call out his name and come running over to play with him. He just loves going there because he gets so much attention.

Well... hugs to everyone. Sorry for the personals I've missed. Hope you have a great weekend if I'm not online before then.

cheers,
Jodie

jodie - its great to hear that the m/s may be easing up. hope shaun gets over his cold qickly, gosh teething just never seems to stop these days does it?! Goodluck with the cupcakes, im sure everyone will enjoy them. You are exactly right about his birthday, he has no idea whats going on, but next year he will! i didn't really want to have a 'party' for DS either but DH just started inviting all these people, oh well we had fun.

Whooops! forgot that i had tea simmering on the stove, oh well it only devilled snags, surely i can't stuff that up, he he. Archie and i are having our first visit to playgroup tomorrow morning, i am really looking forward to it but really nervous too, im not great in groups of people i don't know, i think its just what i need though. The playgroup is just a 2min walk from our house at the kindy Arch will be going to so it will be good for him to become familiar with the place over the next couple of years. Goodness i am ramblig on and on, sorry about that

Glad to hear your scan went well Jodie. That is cutting it fine with the house though. You won't have to move that week will you?

Hope you enjoy tomorrow ELissa. I tried play group, but it just wasn't my thing. Don't mind acting silly for Darcy, but for other kids - no thanks. Think positive about the new group thing. You can do it. You are interesting, funny and bright. Remember confidence is what other people see. Even if you are terrified, pretend you're confident - you may end up believing it too. (I am a very shy person in a very not shy person's job - I'm REALLY good at this). I forgot to clarify before - I meant your email address if you have one.

Well Darcy's finally got some socks that actually fit - gee I'm a slack mum. I also got her a sleepsuit from Myer. It's by Snugtime and it seems so warm. It got down to 2degrees here last night and she was freezing in a growsuit and trackies over the top so I'm hoping this works as it was pretty exie for us.

I also have a question about weaning, but I'll have to post it later cos my pretend sick DH is now quite unwell.....guess I have to look after him too.....

Hi...
I've just got home from work. The doctors phoned me at work to give me results of the d/s tests. they combined the ultrasound and the blood tests. For my age the risk is normally 1 in 85 (not real good odds)... BUT... my risk is... 1 in 1676. I was so wrapt!
I've come home and checked, and the risk for a 25yo is 1 in 1300 - so I've got better odds then a 25yo!! Woo hoo!!! Now I can announce to the world that I'm pregnant.

Nah Kim... don't want to move too close to the birth... but not sure what we will do. We've got a 3 bedroom house now... and one of those bedrooms is crammed full as my 'office'. In 6 months we will have 2 kids & Yarivs mum coming over to stay for a while! Might have to put MIL in one of the dog kennels. Only joking... she is adorable - the MIL. Can't wait to see her again. Hope nothing happens in the next 6 months that prevents her from coming. (last time my SIL got pregnant, so MIL didn't come... then SIL lost the baby anyway).

Damn... it's 9.30pm and I've just got home from work - and Shaun is still up. Yariv is in a foul mood, and said he had an evening nap and now he's not tired!! Good on him! Although, if Shaun goes to sleep late tonight... hopefully he wont wake up at 4am like he did this morning...

Hi everyone - hanging in there over here.

DH's mum has her op in two weeks. Dad starts his meds tomorrow. Hopefully the side effects won't be too bad and he'll feel a bit better soon.

Last night got four hours sleep as Katy wanted to do nothing but play and scream until after midnight so I am stuffed.

Will pop in again soon.

ZZzzzzzzzz

Evening girls! I had a good day at pracs today. Just thought I'd pop in and say hi!

Tania ~ Enjoy the next few days sweety even if it does mean we don't get to read those LONG posts!!!

Leanne ~ Good to hear from you. Big :hug: to your Dad and GL with his treatment. GL to your MIL as well. I hope Katy lets you get some sleep tonight.

Jodie ~ That is FANTASTIC news! You must be so relieved!!!!

Ellissa ~ pmsl at you forgetting you had stuff on the stove! Do you know how many times I've burnt stuff like that? Darn MSN distracting me!!!!

Kim ~ PMSL @ Darcy having new socks! Em just got some the other day as well. Its gonna cost me near $50 just to get him enough socks and singlets to last through winter!!! We had a month where Em did that as well. I thought he'd cracked 10 kilos and he'd only put on 100g. Strange eh?

Tania ~ They are great bargains!! I wish I were there as well!!!

I think I should have waited till tomorrow to post! I am so tired and I think I missed heaps!!! Oh well!

I still have dishes to do and some notes to type up. I am really proud of myself for keeping on top of things. I have NEVER been this organized in my whole studying life LOL. Its a good feeling. Much better then feeling stressed out over it all. Though I must say that something had to give to get the work done and it was the housework unfortunately. This place is a mess. :rolleyes: Hopefully I'll get a chance to clean and do the grocery shopping tomorrow. And then (fingers crossed) hopefully Saturday I will get a chance to go out shopping for clothes which I desperately need (darn cold weather!!). I am watching some boots on Ebay that a friends sister is selling - hopefully I can get them coz they're gorgeous!!!

Oh well best be off to do those dishes... Nighty night!

kim - thankyou so much for your kind encouraging words. you are so right about just coming across to people as confident i am very good at that thank goodness. i bought Arch a cheapie sleepsuit last week and it is the best purchase i have ever made! He now puts himself to sleep and sleeps right through the night, shock horror! I hope it works just as well for Darcy. Hope Dh hurries up and feels better, they are the hardest sick people to look after, such sooks!

Jodie - Congrats on the results, thats so fantastic, it must be such a relief!

nat - well done on being so organised, its such a great thingt o feel proud of yourself isn't it?! oh and have fun clothes shopping on the weekend you lucky thing. We are also desperate for new clothes but we are waiting on some money to come through, we refinanced the house and got a bit of extra money to do up house and stuff, but of course the bank is taking FOREVER to discharge us, can't blame them i guess as they are losing money.

Well unfortunately no playgroup today after all, Archie decided that he needed a sleep instead (of course, its always the way) maybe we will go to kindergym this afternoon instead...

OMG our roof started leaking last night!! Its so typical that just as i start feeling relaxed and happy with how things are going the bloody roof leaks, i just hope insurance will cover it DH seems to think it will.

Well, enjoy your day xx

afternoon all
WOohoo Jodies that is a great result hope the MS eases up soon
Elissa ~ bugger about play group i'd love to take ryan to one but i just don't have the time i do take him to a nursery ryhmes sing along at the library once a month he loves it

Nat ~ i wish i was that organised not going to happen for a while yet but i'm working on it
Kim ~ hope Darcy's new sleep suit works well at keeping her warm and asleep through these cold nights

Vic ~ WOOOHOOO at adam walking it is so much better having them chase the other kids around tiring themselves out instead of us .. lol
Leanne ~ HI and hope the meds aren't to harsh for him and he starts to feel better soon

Tania ~ enjoy your nan's visit and WTg on the bargain shopping ( jealous )

big hi to everyone else got to get moving today i'm so sore i started weight training this week and a wow i have muscles i didn't know i had finding it really hard to walk today i stop for 5 mins and i get stiff

Tehehe about Shaun's pants Jodie. Darcy is still wearing a pair of 000 pants- now they're shorts lol.

Shazz I'm so proud of you!!!!

Oh no ELissa! Hope the insurance covers it. Such a shame about playgroup. There's always next week though. And you're very welcome.

Well the suit was a success I think - she slept from 8-6:30ish. But she only slept half hour this am. Now though, she did a poo while we were ut and of course I didn't have a nappy. She fell asleep on the way home, so I had to wake her up. Well she didn't wake up, I changed her pants and put her into bed and she's still sleeping- not bad for a kid who used to wake up when you stopped the car.

I also have to tell someone who'll appreciate her new game. She has a baby CPK that she drags everywhere and if you say to her "baby needs a sleep now" she cuddles it, pats it's bottom and rocks, it's SO sweet. She also knows how to give it a bottle when you tell her it's hungry. We've never shown her these things either, she's just mimicking what we do. Oh she makes me smile.

OK Shazz, I'm feeling like you now. I did a circuit class this arvie and can hardly move my arms lol.
Off to a scrapbook party tonight.

Darcy has really red patches on her cheeks - any suggestions?

Also, how do I know if sh'es weaning?

Red patches often means teething, Riley is getting a molar and has a bright red cheek atm.

Hi girls!

Just poppin in quickly before dinner.

Things are going ok. Briley is walking heaps on her own now. She is getting braver and braver!! Its so awesome to watch. Still no new teeth. But as i always say...i suspect some are on their way.

Briley is also really starting too mimic what you say. She tries to say heaps of stuff. I can't think right now ( i am so dumb at the moment!!) of the new words she can say but she is slowing learning.

As for me, i am getting very sore and tired. Went to the hospital on wednesday for check-up and then too normal GP yesterday. Baby was breech both times. Seems to be the way lately. I am really feeling it cause of this. I have a lot of tenderness and pain at the top of my uterus and in and around my ribs. I really hurts sometimes. Only 10 more weeks!! Other than that i am ok. BP is fine. Still getting pains here and there but nothing regular like contractions.

Jodie - Glad d/s results came back well and that m/s is easing up! Bet its a relief.

Kim - OUCH!!! Maybe try a hot shower! Briley has been coming out in red patches on her cheeks the last couple of days too. I was worried she was having a reaction to something but she seems fine. Maybe its too do with the teeth...Have a ball tonight!!

Leanne - Fingers crossed for your dad. Hope he gets well soon.

Tania - Thats a bargain about the jewellery!! Good on you! Have fun on your holiday!!You seems to be doing a lot of travelling lately! Got a bug have you!!!

Hi to everyone else!! Sorry if i have forgotten you!!

Oh and before i forget (again!!...oops!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER AND LACHIE!!!

Ok, better go now! Hope you are all well!

I am honestly really not sure what has gotten into me… I am so productive its not funny. We had swimming lessons today and then did some errands and the grocery shopping. I’ve also managed to reorganize the rooms to fit all the toys in. I’ve cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed, mopped and dusted. I also fixed my kitchen chairs finally, the screws were falling out and all needed to be tightened and I polished all the chrome in my kitchen :o All of this whilst Em is home as well!!!!

Ellissa ~ I don’t really have the cash for clothes either lol. Thank god for tax time hehe! Buggar about the roof. I hope its covered by insurance and is fixed quickly for you.

Shazz ~ I am soooo jealous of you being at the gym you lucky thing!

Kim ~ I’m glad the suit was a success. That is just gorgeous of her mimicking you with the CPK. That would make my heart melt! Enjoy the scrap booking party! Em had red patches when he cut his last tooth as well.

Sara ~ Glad to hear things are going well pregnancy wise. That is so cute of Darcy mimicking what you say. I really need to work with Em a bit more on that stuff. He picks things up soooo quickly. All furry creatures are dogs and he can say woof woof as well LOL. So cute!

Well I'm off to go and pay some bills and get my finances up to date. I have a pinboard and inbox over flowing with crap that needs to be sorted through. Have a lovely night girls!

Sara: I wish I was on holidays again, but no I am still at home but my Nan has flown up from Melb for Jayden's bday.

Speaking of which :crying: its only 2.5 hours til my baby turns 1 :crying: I have made and cut his cake to shape and just have to ice and decorate it tomorrow.

Oh Nat how did your cake turn out? Have you got pics? If so can you email them to me please?

Sorry no time for personals, I have a party to organise!! OMG!! I can't believe its tomorrow. This time last year I was being monitored in hospital with half of Chris's family around me and no Chris!

Ok going now before my Nan does all the dishes hehe

we have red cheeks here too. and they're dry. definately teething. I think we are also having a growth spurt, as from the 10 hours or so Katy was at CC today she slept for 5 1/2 hours straight. We are lucky if she normally sleeps for an hour. She loves it so much there she does not want to miss out on anything!

They phoned me at lunch after she had been asleep for 5 hours to ask if they should wake her. I suggested ah yeah.... I wanna get some sleep tonight. She's already in bed again tired as. Must be a combo of growing up, being Friday, teething and having a bit of a cold.

Will do personals soon
Off to bed for this mother chickie.
L

Poor Katy going through all those things! Hope she slept all night for you Leanne!

:happyforyou::happybirthday:HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYDEN!!!:happybirthday::happyforyou:

:crying:My little boy has grown up!:crying:

:happybirthday:HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYDEN!!!:happybirthday:

Morning Girls!

Feeling VERY sore today. I must have stretched a heap lastnight. All around my hips and belly are so sore. I did carry Briley around a bit yesterday so that could be it too. That'll teach me!

Briley is cruising around everywhere today. She is really adjusting to the walking. She is out in the yard with Brent's parents at the moment collecting the eggs and being harassed by the dogs! Our girl dog, Bindi, is very protective of her but in the "i want to be right up in your face" kinda way.

I also forgot to mention something lastnight. Briley has been doing something really odd lately (or maybe not odd, not sure!). When i am naked around her, she is trying to put my nipples in her mouth!! :o I was saying to Brent, i wonder if she can smell the colostrum or something. I have'nt been leaking much lately but if i squeeze my nipples it comes out. Do you think this would be right?? I wonder how she will be when she see's me b/f the new baby!

Tania - Oops! My mistake! Well i suppose you could still kinda call it a holiday cause Gran's are so good at doing heaps of stuff for you!! Hope you all have a great day today! Try not to cry too much.

Nat - Yeah Briley picks up things quickly too. My mum's man "friend" brought Briley this house thingy that came with all these coloured balls. Briley loves it! But i hold up the ball and say its colour too her. Its a good way for her to learn the colours too i suppose. We are not sure, but yesterday she picked up a red ball and it sounded like she said red. We are'nt 100% certain on this though! We'll just say she did!;)

Leanne - OMG!!! Katy must have been one tired little girl. The longest Briley has slept during the day is 4 1/2 hours and that was at FDC too. She also went to sleep at her normal bed time that night too. They must just go through really tired phases. Hope she is feeling ok today.

Hi to everyone else! Hope you are all well!

Well there is'nt too much planned for our weekend. I am umming and aaaghing about wether to go to a family members 60th tonight. I kinda want to go but i don't. I don't really want to put Briley out. I mean i know that i should'nt live my life around her too much but she gets fairly cranky if she does'nt go to bed when she needs too. I don't know what too do!

Anyways...raving now!

Might BBL!

:confetti: :happybirthday: .Happy Birthday Jayden .:happybirthday: :confetti:

Hope you have a terrific day !!!

:happyforyou::happybirthday:HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYDEN!!:happyforyou::happybirthday:

Happy Birthday Jayden!!!

Going away for the night, but just quickly before I leave, Leanne I hope your Dad's treatment is going OK.

:confetti: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYDEN :confetti:

Tania ~Glad you got the email pic. Trust me your's will look better! The photo made mine look good hehe. Can't you see the icing and smarties falling down LOL?? Have you cried yet? I thought I would but I didn't. I hope you have a fantastic day today reminiscing.

Kim ~ Have a nice night tonight!

Leanne ~ OMG at Katy sleeping for 5 hours!! The most I've got Em to sleep during the day is 3!!!

Sara ~ Funny you mention balls and colours because that's what I want to work with next with Em lol. I know what you mean with going out with them. Sometimes if you're not really motivated to go out its just easier to stay home. I used to be able to go out with Em and he'd just stay up and not get cranky and then fall asleep on the way home. These days though he's quite feral by 8.30 so I need to have a quiet place to get him to sleep.

Well I just put Em down for a nap because he was grumpy and then we're going clothes shopping :dance. I have dishes to do and the washing to bring in as well but otherwise the house is clean :clap: Am I just sickening you with how devstatingly organized I am. Because I am sickening me pmsl! In fact I might end up reading uni work until Em wakes up at this rate :o

kim - woo hoo! gotta love those suits. Darcy sounds so cute with her doll

nat - can you come round to my place!!!!! i wish i had your energy and motivation i feel proud when i manage to just vaccuum let alone polish bloody chrome!

rang the insurance company and they reckon the ceiling is covered but if the leak is becaue of a cracked tile on roof they wont replace the tile but we have tiles in the shed so thaat doesn't matter. luckily is hasn't rained since the first leak. Sounds like our money will be through early next week which makes me really happy cause that means we get to go away for my birthday next weekend. Last birthday my darling little baby was having his operation, so i think i will get a bit emotional this year!

Archie has started saying "what is it?' and "there it is!" well his mumbled version of it anyway, oh he's growing up fast.

Happy Birthday Jayden!!

Have a great day little man.....
Enjoy your party.

:dance:HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS BOY JAYDEN (we miss you):)

Thanks for all our birthday wishes everyone. Lachlan had his party last Saturday, and he had a fab time. Our nextdoor neighbour has a jumping castle that we loaned and all the kids had so much fun. I made a birthday cake too. It was a slab iced in blue with cup cakes ontop in the form of a 1. Every second cupcake was an animal (think we had cat, elephant, frog, ladybug and a fish) and every other second one I wrote the letter 1 on it. It was very bright and colourful, thought it was hopeless at first but everyone said I did a great job. I even made his cupcakes on rice milk seeing as he is still Cows Milk Protein Intolerant.

Anyway he started walking on his birthday party, just a couple of steps, and then leading up to Wednesday a day after his birthday he took at least 20 steps. So he had been building up all week. Gosh I really thought I had another month yet! Not to be......

He sees the CHN on Tuesday and then I think vaccinations are the following Wed.

So I will have all his stats this week coming, but up until a few weeks ago he was still a tiny 8.24kgs, but he has done so well lately that he might have even broken the 8.5kg barrier. Either way he is very healthy looking these days, but everyone keeps saying he looks too tiny to walk.

Who else's bubs are walking and wish they weren't, am I not normal hehe.

Oh and I forgot to mention, we are trying for another baby, I have decided, bugger it, i am not getting any younger and if I leave it later then Sept/Oct, my baby will be in the next year of schooling again, and the aim is to get my kids off my hands ASAP, so I can work the newsagency a bit better then I am atm, way too hard with this active active kid!

Hi to all the mummies and bubbies.

Finally updated my ticker Nat, hehe, sorry it took so long!:lol:

Hi sheree glad Lachie had a great birthday and wooohooo on TTC again

:happybirthday: Happy Birthday Jayden :happybirthday:

Sheree, great to hear Lachlan is doing so well. Cooper walked for the first time at his party too. Show offs!!! Congrats on TTC again. We wont be trying until April next year.

Kim, glad the sleeping bag worked well. Gee hasnt Darcy changed with her sleeping...good on you for whatever you did to get her to sleep so well.

Hi to everyone else. Not much happening here. Cooper is in bed, DH is at work and I should be planning my week for school but I cant get motivated. I was supposed to start my mid year reports this weekend but I brought the wrong folder home...damn shame!!!

Hope you are all having a good weekend.
Catch you soon,

Evening All!

I've had a great day so I'm a bit pumped and can't sleep! :redface: I went shopping like I said I was going to and I got some great stuff! I'm so happy! I got a pair of gorgeous skinny leg jeans that are soooo comfy, a pair of white flats, a grey knit cardigan, a grey & black striped jumper with scarfe, a long green cargo-y type skirt and a really soft long cream skirt. Had a bit of a fashion parade tonight and it all goes with so much in my wardrobe so I purchased really well. I am also the highest bidder on 3 pairs of boots on Ebay right now. Fingers crossed I win them because they are just stunning and will go perfectly with my new jeans!!! I'm just really disappointed that I have to work tomorrow because I can't wear any of my new stuff LOL.

I had my folks over tonight for dinner. It was lots of fun and Em got some more cute presents which he of course loves. I arranged for my step-mum to watch him whilst I'm at uni next week which I'm a tad nervous about. I'm sure he'll be fine though. I am gonna miss the little tacker sooooo much when I'm working all those days!!!

Tonight Em slipped in the bath onto a bath toy and got a fat lip! :o I wasn't too worried at first and then the blood came :cry: He seems to be fine though - just a charming fat lip is all!

Sheree ~ Whoo hoo for the new ticker!!! How exciting that you are TTC #2!!! I am so happy for you!! He still is a tiny bub eh? Em is still not 11 kgs so there's at least 2 kgs difference. Lachie must be like a gorgeous walking doll!

Alison ~ Darn leaving that folder at home! What a shame!

Vic ~ I'd love to come to your place to stay and organize LOL. It'd be great fun!

Ellissa ~ What operation did Archie have last year? I still have my fingers crossed that your insurance covers it.

Well I might go and do the dishes and have a quick tidy before settling into bed with a text book - that always sends me to sleep hehe :rolleyes:

Does anyone here read other threads like 07 belly buddies?

Well, I was bored tonight and started reading the June 07 one, and I got soooo clucky for another baby. Their excitement and impatience lol...brings back so many nice memories.

Then...silly me went and read the miscarriage and loss section and bawled my eyes out...why do I go there??? It always terrifies me to have another child. Such sad stories.

No point to this post really, I'm just bored.

lol Alison I am the same! I can't read threads like that because I just cry my heart out. And just seeing a pregnant belly or a newborn makes me crazy clucky LOL so I am so not going into that 07 thread!!

Though I did start the Babies Born in May 07 thread the other day and got all nostalgic... where has the time gone?!?! I remember us all sharing our woeful tales of morning sickness and now we're celebrating first birthdays!!

9 minutes till my first Ebay auction ends leaving me (hopefully) the winner!!!!

Morning Girls,

Well i ended up going to the party....and totally regretted it overnight. Briley played up a little bit at the party but once we bathed her and put her down to sleep she crashed straight away. Then at about 8.45pm she woke up crying and would'nt go back down so i decided to go back to where we were staying the night. She went straight back to sleep when we got her into her porta-cot.

So 11.45pm comes and she wakes up crying again and on it went all night. She was waking every 20-30mins till she finally got up at 6.45am thismorning. I am so tired. At one stage i coated her gums in Bongella and she went back to sleep for half and hour but woke up again. Later on i heard her do a little fart so i think she might have had bad wind.

When i opened my eyes to her thismorning i could see the poo straight away. She had it everywhere. On her finger, her singlet, feet, toes....EVERYWHERE!!! So whatever she ate yesterday must have been upsetting her stomach overnight and out it all came thismorning!! EWWWWW.

Although tired, she is pretty much fine today. Because we travelled back from Ayr thismorning she did'nt sleep so now she has crashed! I really should take the opportunity to have a nap myself.

Sheree - Good to hear from you mate! Party sounded like it was a blast. Congrats on TTC!!! Good luck....sending you lots of vibes!!

Nat - I need to start treating myself to shopping spree's like that! Only there is no point in me buying stuff now! Maybe after the baby is born. Would you care to send some of you energy up this way!!!! I really need it.

Alison - I try and avoid those thread but i have been in them quite a few times. I always end up bawling. I count myself very lucky that i don't have to go through it again. Once is enough. So....when are you and Tony going to start TTC again??? :p

Vic - I hear you! But sometimes at the time i feel like going out but when i have left home and am out i totally regret it and just want to be at home. I had that feeling lastnight. It seems to be getting worse the further i get in my pregnancy too! It was good to see everyone though.

Elissa - Pheww at the insurance company covering the roof! I woulda freaked out if they i was in your shoes. Fingers crossed you get your holiday!!

Hi to everyone else!

Lastnight there was this girl at the party that i have known through my family for a long time. She had a baby girl a week ago and is totally regretting it. She did'nt say that exactly but she kept saying she did'nt like having a baby when people asked her how it was all going. I thought it was so selfish. She is normally a real pot head and drinker and because she is breastfeeding could'nt get on it with everyone else lastnight. Mind you the baby is very small cause she carried on all her party activities whilst pregnant!

This might sound terrible and very over the top, but i was really scared that she might hurt the baby lastnight cause she kept crying. Not that i saw anything to suggest this but i just had a terrible feeling that she might be resentful towards the baby for crying and taking her away from the party. I really hope it does'nt turn out like that.

Anyways....

I think i might go and start planning my birth plan. Did any of you have one last year???? I did'nt but i was thinking about doing one. That and packing my bags. When do you guys do that?? I can't remember with Briley! My brain has totally gone to mush lately!

Ok i am raving now!

Talk later

Happy Birthday Shaun!!!

Hope you're not too sick Jodie.

Ah Sara, I was very much like you last night. I just would rather have been at home. Darcy wouldn't go to sleep until we got back to the motel at midnight......that's awful about that girl. There are a couple of things you can do if you think that baby might be at risk. Send me an email if you want.
I didn't pack my bags until about 36wks but I'm slack and was only half packed when I had her anyway - DH had to do it. Birth plan - nope didn't have one either.


Well despite the massive lack of sleep yesterday and last night - she won't go down today. I've even given her a pillow cos she like to sleep on ours on our bed but no...
