Babies Born May 2006 #30

[~Kim~]

Ha, winge away Sara. I agree with CHristine she should know as another householder when she's imposing. Sometimes though (and it always seems to be the bloke's parents) they seem to think you owe them something.

My kidney pain started off sort of like yours. Got woken though with huge pain. Anatomically I knew where it was coming from and I wanted to be sick. I had to have morphine.
When I had Darcy my BP shot through the roof (kidneys - well the adrenal glands on the top, control BP) and their function along with that of my liver started to drop right off. They've been fine since but I've apparently had trouble for years and never knew it.

Yuck Christine that sound's like a lovely day! NOT!!!

I mistakenly told a couple of people that the Dragon was sleeping beautifully. Mistakenly because the last couple off days she's been a right poo head. Won't sleep at all during the day and just cries all day. Finally she crashed at 3 o'clok this arvie. Got up 4.10 and went back to sleep on my lap and is now in the spare bed....who can pick em.

We were going to have a garage sale tomorrow, Mum and I but the weather is so bad we're going to postpone it a few weeks.

Oh and I have REALLY bad AF for the second time in 10 days....sorry if I already mentioned that, but I'm cranky cos that means all my effort has gone to waste...

[Lea13]

Flying in and out again!

Its my birthday tomorrow so I'm out to tea tonight. Working all day tomorrow and Sunday so I cannot wait till Monday when I can sweet FA lol.

I had a heap of people over today and my house is seriously trashed so I need to go and clean it before we get ready to go out. At least doing the dishes will keep me warm LOL. Argh I wish I had the time for a proper post but I must be off...

Christine I use gel to get Em's hair to stick up LOL. Its very cute. I will try and change my ticker photo or email you all once I get a good shot. Actually a friend took a shot today of him that was fantastic so I'll use that one.

Alright really have to go now. I've got an hour and 45 to get us both ready and there and the house cleaned!!!

[~shazz~]

Happy birthday for tomorrow Nat hope you ahave a fantastic day
Kim ~ bugger hope AF sort its self out soon
Big hi to everyone else i'm so knackered i can barely think 4 nights in a row of 10 minutes sleep housrs awake suck i took him back to the doctor today cause to tell you the truth i just don'y know how much more i can take it is definately more then a cold ... so i went to a different doctor for a second opi nion and same diagnosis she seems to think it is more of an asmatic episode then a cold or flu type cough and she put him straight on to ventolin inhaler 4 times a day he has had 2 doses now and you can definately see a difference he slept peacefully this afternoon for 2 hours something he hasn't done in days and then tonight he got very whingy and wheezy had ventolin and and is now happy playing on the floor something he also hasn't done in days i got checked out while i was there and i have a middle ear infection yay !!!! also i have pulled the ligaments in my ( good ) left knee so that sucks but i 'm trying not to let it get the better of me ( i have a bunge right knee after surgeons were allowed to touch it ) any way i'm off to bed while i can nite every one hope you have a great weekend i'll be busy packing my boys go camping for a week next week so i have to pack for them so they actually have warm clothes

[widdly]

kim - sorry to hear that horribe old AF has showed up again so frickin soon! Wish i could scare her off for you. Archie is doing the same thing with his day sleeps he is refusing day sleeps atm and just whinges all day long...

Nat - have a brilliant birthday, enjoy yourself!!

shazz - what a great time your having at the moment you poor thing. big hugs, hope things start to settle back down for you soon.

Sara - All i can say is i send you truck loads of sympathy and hugs!

We went shopping again today, DH built a bar in the shed, our money is dwindling very fast, but we have bought loads of stuff we really needed, (and some we didn't of course). Just need to make sure we save some for air con and dining suite and wardrobes. Won't be long now and we'll be back to just scarping by each week with no savings to speak of, we are hopeless with money...We picked out Archies photos today, we were quite disappointed with them actually, only 2 we liked and they aren't that great either, oh well, hopefully we will have another bub then i will get photos done when bub is brand new, oooo can't wait, fingers crossed we can do it again!

Christine - hoping your little darlings get better soon!

[Lea13]

Christine ~ They haven’t spoken much about National Curriculum yet – mostly about SACSA which is the SA one. I agree with standardizing the starting age in each state. I know I started Reception in Melbourne and then we came to Adelaide and I wasn’t able to go to school for a whole term because I wasn’t 5. How did the excursion go?

Kim ~ I’m over it LOL. I’m thinking of confining myself indoors next week LOL. I have an assignment to do so that will be my excuse. I won’t leave the house until its done I think. I can’t believe Darcy hates being in the car that much. Buggar about the weather and the garage sale. I need to have one soon – I have soooo much crap LOL.

Vic ~ That is great that business is booming for you. Congrats on joining the gym – I am jealous! I can’t wait to get to a point in my life where I actually have time for the gym LOL. This time Em went to CC for 3 days and then family/friends for the others. I think third year pracs are 6 weeks so he will just have to go full time then I guess. I’m not overly happy about it not to mention working fulltime for 6 weeks without pay but that’s life eh?

Ellissa ~ I seem to cope better the busier I get crazily enough. Em just had way too much hair and now its all gone. I think it looks way cute but at the same time it makes me want to cry LOL because he’s so grown up! Bummer that the professional shots weren’t that great. My camera is a Canon btw.

Tanya ~ I still can’t believe your SIL grrrrr! The cheek…

Sara ~ Grrr to your MIL. What a sticky situation to be in. You really need to put your foot down hey? I’m sure once you have and she knows you’re serious then things will settle down. I completely understand how you would be feeling though!

Shazz ~ I hope you’re feeling better soon and thank god you found a Doctor that was willing to look into things further. How sad that it looks as though he has asthma but at least he’s getting the medication now and hopefully you can have a happier little boy on your hands.

Leanne ~ I hope you’re feeling better as well.

Another busy day here. Dinner was great and having everyone over today went really well. Em had so much fun. He’s such a gorgeous little boy full of character. Tonight he was just full of love and giving his cousin kisses and hugs!!! Too cute! Eeek you just reminded about needles! I MUST book them in LOL.

Its soooooo cold here – bloody minus 3 No wonder Em is waking up in the night cold! I haven’t got a sleeping bag that’s big enough for him now so I’ll have to go buy him something. I went to put the small heater in his room tonight and I can’t find it…. Oh well I suppose he’ll just end up in bed with me again LOL.

I’m off now girls. Working all weekend so won’t be around much! Bring on Monday!

[~Leanne~]

Happy Birthday Nat!!
Happy Birthday Nat!!
Happy Birthday Nat!!
Happy Birthday Nat!!

Oh Bgr Katy's in the bin. Gotta chuck her in her play pen and have a shower.
BBL ladies.

[~Kim~]

Happy Birthday Nat

[~Leanne~]

Well we have a velcro child today pretty much for the first time since I can remember. How to you cope with that. She won't play, she won't sleep she won't eat. I have a heap of washing, etc etc to do today but can't get anything done. I just left her in her cot with her nursery rhyme cd going and she is hysterical. Will leave her for 10 minutes and see if she crys herself to sleeop

[mrsmac]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAT!!

[~Leanne~]

The ten minute thing worked. She's sound asleep in bed cuddling her new toy turtle.
Ahhhh peace.
Off to have a shower.

[Ilithyia]

Morning girls!

Happy Birthday Nat!! Hope you have a lovely day hun.

Well i have woken up feeling terrible today. I have an earache from the cold i am getting and i just feel like sh*t to be honest!!

Briley is good. Her runny nose is clearing up but she still has cough. It was warm enough thismorning for her to have some outside time so she is happy as larry today. I was happy to to get out of the house after 3 days of rainy miserable weather!

Mum has come up today for the day. She even brang up a lovely lunch. BBQ chickens and salad. She also brang my Nanny who wants me to go out and walk about the yard with her but i don't have enough energy. Plus the sun has gone away again now and its cold.

Not much planned. Brent, Briley and i have to go into town later to do some groceries and then we are just going to watch the footy tonight and go too bed. I am planning on getting Brent to make a sweet corn and chicken soup for dinner to try and fight my cold. Yum yum!

Have a great day girls!

[Jodie259]

Happy Birthday Nat !!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you had a great day - even though you were working

[Tannis]

Nat: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you had a great day oxoxox. There is NO WAY I am letting SIL open an acc for Jayden, not sure if I mentioned already but I have hidden both Jayden’s BC’s from Chris so he doesn’t get any ideas haha. She won’t open an acc in her name as she will have to pay tax on it but really how much tax would she have to pay when she is only putting in $10 a birthday?? So frustrating !! Can’t wait to see pics of Em’s hair!! Is that his 2nd cut? Jayden is due for another cut….his Mohawks are getting a bit long.

Shazz: Oh no….I hope your household gets better soon! Good thing you took Ryan to another Dr, least you know what you are dealing with now. 12 teeth OMG! Our friends daughter got her teeth early too, she is 15mths old and has nearly all off them!

Sara: SIL took $20k off her daughters to build their 25mtr pool…..I think she thinks I’m going to spend it because that is exactly what she did. LOL I’ll suggest a piggy bank to her after all we are only talking $10 or so a year. Jayden doesn’t say too many words but he is great at impersonations LOL. It spins me out over how much Jayden understands, I tell him to kiss something and he does it, I tell him to take something to daddy and he does, I say no and he shakes his head and says nononono hehehe. I am still working FT unfortunately. We just went to the bank on Monday (queens day) to see what we could borrow as we want to sell our house and buy/build bigger, no room for a 2nd baby in this house! I hope your pains are nothing to worry about…you are really having a terrible time aren’t you! I love your new tickers BTW, you look great! B!tch away as much as you like…..You are an amazing person for putting up with it for as long as you have, I know how you feel with Brent being on their side, Chris is constantly backing up his family…which is fine if he’d known me only for a year or something….not 10yrs! We are always here for you and you can always email me!

Elissa: Jayden’s nappy rash is almost gone now and not bothering him anymore…but still no new teeth!! I used Dermaid and Daktozin on him and it seemed to work. I was thinking of getting some powder that I can use every nappy change that might help prevent it or at least help when he has it. I must have missed some posts…..are you and DH buying a house soon? That’s not good about the photo’s! We had Jayden’s done when he was 9wks old and they turned out fantastic! I don’t think we will get any more for a long time as we have the camera to do it ourselves now and I would spend way too much on getting the whole package again.

Kim: Thanks for the birthday wishes! Wasn’t one of my best birthdays unfortunately……luckily I have had 27 other ones that were better LOL. Have you had any bank acc dramas with your inlaws? I will under no circumstance give the BC to her……I’ll tell her that the police have advised me not to LOL…..anyone here a lawyer? Hehe I hope your crappy day got better…..banks are a PITA most of the time. I would have thought the police accs would have been better…obviously not though. Breath…..things will work out with TTC, it was easy with Darcy wasn’t it? Maybe you had been a bit spoilt because it was so easy, I am the same, I think I will stress when(if) we start TTC if it doesn’t happen straight away……. fingers and toes are crossed for you!

Christine: NO AF YET??? Lucky you!! Mine came back within 2 weeks of stopping BF’ing. I hung on to 1 feed a day for as long as I could partly for that reason (main reason was I didn’t want to give up BF’ing). I hope Erin and Jess are ok…. fingers crossed you, Daniel and Riley don’t get anything. Hopefully the whingy, clingy thing is just teeth….funny how we blame everything on teeth!

I gotta velcro baby too……Chris still can’t handle Jayden’s cry so there has been a lot of tension in our house lately. I’m sure its teeth and it will be over soon…..no one burst my bubble hahaha. We looked at 1 house today, its got a saltwater pool, the bedrooms were huge, but there was only 1 living area, the 933sq m block was mostly taken up by the pool and the front yard so no real decent backyard and the kitchen was very oddly shaped. One of our friends is a builder and knows of a brand new house that is for sale, they want $409k for it but we can get it cheaper buying privately, so we will have a look at that tomorrow....We were meant to be having a weekend off looking at houses so we can prepare our house for sale! Well my mammoth posts are back LOL not sure how long that will last hehe.

Hope you are all well….Nat I hope you are partying it up tonight!

[~shazz~]

Tania ~ you stick to your guns on the bank account saga with SIL what a noodle to think thats appropriate
well i have no voice what so ever .... my hubby is loving it and the kids are just plain rude no wonder i have to screech at them to do anything cause they certainly don't reposnd to quite asking .... i'm going to have to work on this
any way back to the washing i went to the laundomat and did 5 loads there and have done another 6 here and i'm finally caught up yay now just where to hang it all and then the ironing omg it never ends

[~Kim~]

Well I was up all night with another clingy screaming kid. Maybe it's the new moon? Nope we got anther tooth yesterday so that brings our total to 4 - finally cos I thought she'd be going to school with no teeth.

No Tania no troubles with them wanting to open an account though after all they've wanted I'm surprised but obviously they've wised up about me. Good luck with the houses!

Oh Shazz, oh well use it as your excuse to hide away maybe and let em fend for themselves? Only joking, hope it imporves and I so know what you mean about washing....the airer is only so big and it takes way to long to put it all in the drier (not to mention the $$$ for electricity).

These are my last 2 night shifts coming up before I go back to day work so better get a snooze in I guess...

[Ilithyia]

Hi girls,

Well i am feeling a bit better tonight. It has taken me all day too get to this point though. I woke up kinda ok then i had fight with Brent about how i apparently upset his mum cause she came in the house thismorning and took MY daughter with her!!! I then said i'd like to see my daughter thank you very much to Brent and she heard me. So again i made to feel like i am the bi*ch.

Anyhoo......

Kim - Well at least all that clingyness amounted to something right!! Which tooth was it??

Shazz - Oh you poor thing. Hope your feeling a bit better than i though!

Tania - OMG!! How hypocritical of your SIL!!! That must be what she thinks your going to do. $20k is a lot of money!! Good luck with the bank mate!

Hi to everyone else! Hope you are all well.

I am getting rib pain again tonight. I have also been getting some VERY STRONG contractions too. They are about 40 mins apart. I am wondering wether its just pre labour. My body getting ready. For those who've had other babies....Did you notice this at about where i am??? 33w 3d??? Just before i was having one and i went to the toilet and felt like i needed to push!! So i did and then i thought i was going to move my bowels (sorry if TMI!) but i did'nt. The pain went away when i pushed but!! Should i be concerned! I asked my mum and told her about the toilet incident and she said don't do that!! You might have the baby on the toilet!!! Lets hope its just my body getting ready.

Briley is good. She still has a bit of a runny nose and had a temp this arvo. I gave her some panadol and a bottle and she was happy to go back to sleep. She woke up about an hour later quite happy. Now she is just cruising around the house. I look at her and think how beautiful she is. Esp with those 2 bottom teeth!!

Well i am off to bed girls! Hope you are all well!

Ni night.

[Ilithyia]

Morning girls!

Well i have had an interesting start to the morning. Briley and I are pretty much over our colds(touch wood!). Briley played in her cot till 7.30am then came into bed with us. And then it all started!

I will warn you ahead as this may be TMI for some of you! Sorry in advance.

So i got up thismorning and went to the toilet and when i wiped myself i felt something long hanging out of my vagina. I then reached further and felt it. I have a piece of skin that is about 2cm long hanging out. It was also then that i realised that when i am sitting down or on the toilet my vagina is bulging out. So i called my mum to see what she thought and she reckoned it sounded like my uterus had prolapsed. So i called the hospital and the midwife i spoke to had no idea what i could be. Because its not causing me and pain or discomfort not to worry about it! I have no idea what the hell to do! Its quite weird.

Lastnight i was having strong contractions and as i said i pushed with one and i was wondering wether i did any damage by pushing like that! I really hope not. I am just paranoid that it might be that i am dilated a bit and its my bag of waters bulging and pushing everything down. Ofcourse i did'nt say this to the midwife as i don't want to sound like a di**head. So i think i might just wait and see what happens.

So then i get up and make Briley breakfast and am about to sit down and have mine and the phone rings. It is a lady from mums work saying that she is being taken away in an ambulance because her back has gone into spasms!!! I was like....Are you talking about Elisha??? I was just talking to her half and hour ago. So yeah now my mum is in hospital. I called my sister who lives much closer to the hospital than i and she is waiting in the waiting room for them to call her in. When she knows whats going on she is going to call me.

Oh and on top of that...Briley decided she wanted to get into the cuboards under the sink and managed to reach right back to get an In-cistern Blue Toilet Duck thingy and eat it!! She did'nt eat it but was sucking on it. I just cleaned her mouth right out with a face washer so hopefully it does'nt hurt her!!

Bloody dramas i tell you!!!

Its pouring down rain again here today. Our driveway in beginning to turn into a river again so i hope i will be able to get out! This weather is so weird.

Better get off the net so my sis can ring!

Have a lovely day girls....

[widdly]

nat - em sounds like such a cute little boy! Glad ur weekend went well

tania - im glad Jayden's nappy rash has cleared, I am currently using Daktozi and it seems to be slowly clearing up, gosh its messy cream though! We bought our house 2 years ago but our loan had a really high interest rate so we just refinanced it. Yeah i think i will get the whole package when the next bub comes along. Goodluck with the house hunting, i don't envy the packing though....


Shazz - hoping ur voice comes back before the kids forget who's boss! i am trying to catch up on washing today, its never ending with the rain though.

kim - glad Darcy's tooth finally came through, had a giggle about her going to school with no teeth

Sara - OMG what a life u have atm!! i have no idea about what is going on down there, the only thing that came to mind when i was reading it was prolapse, but i don't know anything about it, sorry i am of no help, but i do hope everything goes back to normal for you. Sounds like you body is revving up for the big day which is good. Glad u are over ur colds. hope ur mum is okay.

We were going to have a quiet night sat night when we got a surprise visit from our family from vic, so it turned into a big night! Sunday we went to Robe with them for the day and Archie and his cousin Connor had their first beach experience. Connor is 2 and a half and he was just standing there staring at the waves looking really worried, he wouldn't move. Archie loved it, ate some sand and kept running toward the crashing waves. Its only our first month of ttc and i am already sick of waiting to be pg, thats not good cause last time it took 14 months! i'm just sooo excited about the prospect of doing it all again (not so much the m/s though).

hope you all had relaxing weekends
