Just popping into let you all know that Sara has taken herself down to the hospital to get checked out. She is going to msg me any news so I will keep you all updated.
After a whirlwind few weeks I feel so disorganized and behind with everything and I've been so cranky the last few days because of it. Hopefully will make it in tonight with personals otherwise I'll be in tomorrow.
Thanks Nat, I was just reading this hoping she'd gone in. Sounds like a prolapse to me too and if the midwives don't know what's going on I'm worried for her....
I'm with ya Elissa!!!
Well Sara when you read this i hope you are OK. Darcy got upper right (well left when you look at her). Imagine the blue poos Briley is going to have! lol. I'm sure she'll be fine.
One more night shift to go! DH let me sleep until midday today and he did dishes, ironing and three loads of washing Can't actually believe it was my husband.
Off to do some housework before the ILs get here tomorrow for MILs b'day. Who cares really but i'm making the effort in the hope that they feel bad about mine....
Sara ~ sending you every good luck vibe i can muster gees i hope it isn't to serious you might be meeting this bubba a whole lot sooner then expected
thanks for keeping us posted Nat
Kim ~ yay for Cam i bet he has earned some brownie points for this
any way big hi to everyone else i'm taking my sorry ar$e to bed and hopefully i'll have a voice tomorrow other wise it will be an interesting day at work
Nite
Just poppin in to let you know that i am ok. I went to the hospital and apparently i have a swollen hymenal(sp??) ring due to the pregnancy hormones. I don't really agree with this but they are the Dr's i suppose. Kinda odd that this sort of thing has'nt happened earlier in the pregnancy.
Thanks heaps to Nat for being my messenger. Sorry i did'nt text you back honey i was just happy to get out of there! Esp after waiting 2 bloody hours to see a dr.
Well i am off to bed. Had a big day and i am really tired. Oh and my mum is ok. They really could'nt give her a decent explanation as to what was wrong with her either. Bloody health system!
kim - well done to your DH! its fantastic when they surprise you like that!!
sara - ive been thinking of you, feel sorry for you having to wait 2 hours to see doc you must be buggered, hope Briley lets you have a good sleep tonight. I have no idea what the hymenal ring is!!!??? i know where the hymen is meant to be so i spose its around there somewhere, anyway, i feel relieved for you that it was nothing to stress about, thats great news.
picked up Archies new car seat this afternoon, Maxi Rider, its great, money well spent i reckon, looks luxurious too. Weather was wild today so Arch and i were cooped up in the house all day, couldn't even go out to the back yard, we were sick of the sight of each other by bedtime! i hope his nappy rash has cleared up enough as i am out of Daktozin, Archie ate it! i caught him chewing on the tube with his face covered in cream he had chewed right through the tube it was buggered, don't think he liked the taste either, it was all stuck to his teeth, yuck!
Yuck Archie! Guess he'll have no oral thrush Elissa! lol.
Shazz you got sciatica when you were pregnant didn't you? I did but it went away as soon as she was born - WELL it's back with a vengence yesterday and today. Heaven only knows why. Gun belt sure didn't help either.
Darcy fell alseep this afternoon at 3.30 finally - and then didn't wake until 5.30. She never sleeps for two hours. She did still go to bed at 8 though, so we'll see what this night is going to bring....
Sara glad to hear that you are okay. Won't be long and the pregnancy will be over and you can hold your little treasure and put all these yucky health issues behind you.
Elissa - Katy has the maxi rider. Its great. You won't be disappointed I tell ya. Don't you just love the cup holders.
Kim - hope your back is better soon. I hate back pain. Think it's one of the worst pains on earth.
Oh, better get in the shower and get ready for work.
Briley and I are feeling very yucky thismorning. Briley did'nt sleep well lastnight and is really tired. We think she might have had a nightmare. She just would'nt go back down. As for my i have a bad a** headache that won't go away, my knees and back are aching and i am SOOO tired.
Back to bed for both of us. Brent has just bathed Briley for me.
Sara - i reckon Archie had nightmares a few nights ago, he was really weird, couldn't wake him up properly and he was doing a really strange cry. Hope your body starts feeling better.
Archie slept for 14 hours for the second night in a row, i am in shock, 7pm til 9am WTF!! not complaining thats for sure, starting to dread the thought of getting up to a newborn baby again though, especially in this freezing cold house!
KIm ~ yeah i get it pretty bad and not just when i'm pregnant either all the females on my mum's side of the family have it pretty bad great gran, gran, my mum , her 3 sisters and my sister and i ( i don't think it is supposed to be hereaditary ( sp ) but in our case it is ... it is bloody horrible the only thing that relives it a little is a wheat pack heated up sit it on your hip when i get really bad i go to a chiro and the nerve is manipulated off the hip bone and i can be pain free for up to 6 months afterwards i feel for you
Okay! I'm finally getting on here to say hi to everyone! I've been MIA for a while. Just when I thought the cold and morning sickness was going away - then they both come back with avengence for a week! But now I've hit 16 weeks, and just as it was with shaun - I feel a million bucks now!
Tania : Glad you are putting your foot down about the bank account. I can't believe the cheek of your SIL. You would think she's depositing thousands of $$... but $10 !! pfft! I would tell her "you can't really buy a swimming pool with $10... so that money will be safe in his account!" Your DH should be supporting you - so it sucks you have to hide the birth certs just in case...
Sara : You had me sooo worried when I missed your MSN yesterday morning (and I only just missed it too)... then I saw the message on here that you had gone to hospital!!!! I'm so glad to hear that you are okay. And it's great that Brent is there with you this time. You've had to suffer too much on your own! Not long to go now!! seriously - my belly looks like yours - and I'm only 16 weeks! I'm sick of people asking if it's twins! Hope Briley didn't get sick after munching on Toilet Duck. Shaun got stuck into the cat food the other day and I phoned the nurse on call line and they said cat food is fairly nutritious!
Shazz - I know what it's like to have no voice. 7 full days I lived in silence. It was so frustrating, as I automatically answer the phone, and a little squick would come out. It was so embarrassing. And being pregnant, I couldn't take any decent medication to ease the aches.
Kim - I hear you about the velcro child. Shaun goes one day on/one day off. Sometimes he plays for hours by himself, other times you can't go to the loo without him screaming. Most nights he is pretty good though. We've learnt to let him cry for 10 minutes at 3am... and he just goes back to sleep. Damn about the sciatica! I got a bit of that before getting pregnant. think from holding shaun on my hip. Went to a physio and he said to tighten and tilt the pelvis. After a few days it really helped. I've had the odd pain with this pregnancy... but then I remember to do some exercises and it helps. BTW... did you go to the "B" party? What did you dress up as?
Elissa : good luck TTC mate. Just have fun & enjoy the journey! OMG at Archie eating the Daktozin! They will put anything in their mouth! Shaun got into a tube of bonjela once (which he loves). But I caught him fairly quickly. I wonder if his whole mouth went numb though?
Leanne : hi to you... hope you're well
Vic : You and I posted at the same time! So hi to you too!!! a 4yo in size 8 !!! That sounds huge. Isn't it normally size 4 for 4yo's?? Don't envy you there! How's your gym going?
Today I had a potential buyer for my salon come down and have a look. She was quite impressed I think. She said she will talk to her accountant and get back to us. Fingers crossed that she wants it. I'm asking $110k... but I'm prepared to just about give it away at the moment. She seemed like a really nice girl... so it would be great for the current staff if she did buy it. I'ld hate them to get a wicked new boss.
Shaun has been walking more and more each day. first it was a few tentative steps.
But now he will confidently walk across a room by himself. He walks for ages if you hold his hand... but because he's so small, my back aches from reaching down to hold his hand!
We've booked flights for Yarivs mum to come over when I have the baby! He is still in a bit of shock that she wants to come. We originally booked flights for a month (leaving on the 19th Dec) - but she wants to stay longer!!! WooHoo. She is so adorable. I might even learn to cook some stuff when she's here.
We're STILL trying to get our house organised for auction. On the weekend we worked on the bathroom... finishing the renovations that we started 2 years ago! Silly little things like Yariv had painted all the tiles and glass brick window rather then using tape... so we had to scrape of heaps of paint! He thought it would be 1-2 hours. Ha! 7-8 hours later!!!! I have written him a list of 'things to do'... so each night he has to do something.
Well... Life is good at the moment. It will be better if I get an offer on the salon
talk to you soon!
Jodie

Hi all, have been MIA due to a violent vomiting virus(sorry I love alliteration!) that Erin brought home and passed around the family except for Riley (thank god) DH and I started spewing on sat night about midnight and tag teamed or the ensuite all night (sorry TMI) we spent all sunday spewing and begging the other to kill us, thank goodness at this stage Jess was OK so she looked after Riley and Erin. Monday DH dragged himself into work and i just stayed in bed and tried to keep fluids down. Dad took Riley to FDC and Jess and Erin stayed home as Erin was still a bit off and Jess threw up at the bus stop. I had parent teacher interviews but luckily the lady I job share with did them and took the class for the day. Today I went to work and am starting to feel a bit better but boy was it a bad one, DH and I both said we haven't been this sick in years.
Anyway I will try to be back for personals tomorrow.
Well i am feeling a tad better than thismorning. I have a tooth ache now though!! Bloody wisdom tooth. Briley is better now too. She is back in bed now though. Was a tad grizzly this afternoon but bearable.
Christine - Ohh you poor darlings. At least you are feeling a bit better now.
Jodie - Sorry to frighten you hun! That was'nt my intention. All is good now though. I know what you mean about being bigger in the belly. I can't see it myself for me but everyone keeps telling me i am SO much bigger than i was with Briley. Kinda makes me happy to know that i have a nice big baby in there.
Thats great about the salon. Fingers crossed the ladies accountant comes up with a good answer. Good luck!
Vic - Briley is exactly the same lately! She smashed a jar of stir fry sauce that she got out of the cupboard tonight. It was our fault for not having the rubber bands over the handles! We really have to invest in those safety thingys.
Elissa - 14 hours straight!!!! WOW!! That is a big sleep. How did he wake up??? Was he cranky or ok???
Leanne - I am really getting excited already about holding baby. I am especially excited about getting a second chance at breastfeeding. I really hope it works out a bit better this time. Not that my boobs or nipples are any different this time. Although i have noticed that my boobs are'nt as large this time. Fingers crossed!
Kim - I had that with Briley too. Not this time though THANK GOD!!! It was very painful. Might be worth going and see a chiro about it! Hope its not causing you too much pain. Gun belt would'nt help at all!
Hi to everyone else! Sorry if i missed you.
Off to the hospital tomorrow to get re-assessed for the rib pain. Still getting it. They said lasttime that if i am still getting it that i will probably have to go for an u/s tomorrow to have my kidneys checked. I really don't know what it could be. It just hurts is all i know. I have really been poppin the panadols lately. Got pain coming from every direction. I really hope its nothing serious though.
So i won't be in till tomorrow arvo. Have a great day tomorrow ladies!!
Christine your poor little family. Mark and I had the bottom end issues yesterday and today, but no spewing. We had that just after Katy started daycare. It's really bad.....
Went to the dr tonight as I have this rotten cough can't get rid of. My respiratory tract thingy is inflamed, so I have to take anti biotics and use a puffer for a few weeks. Hope it helps cause coughing all night does not help when you are trying to sleep.
Other than that, all is good.
MIL does not need a second operation which is fantastic. Just need to see an oncologist re treatment.
Dad's treatment is making him sick, but that's expected. Hopefully things will pick up for him.
How bad is this weather in Sydney? I was driving home from the drs tonight (at 9:00 pm mind you) doing the speed limit and people were still tail gating and overtaking me. Silly drivers.
Anyway off to bed, big day tomorrow.
Happy Hump day for tomorrow everyone
jodie - fantastic to hear that you ae finally feeling great!! very excited for you. Goodluck with the salon hope they buy it. What a drag getting the house ready. Well done Shaun on all the walking, and its great that your MIL can come over and help when the new baby comes.
christine - you poor things!!! i was dry reaching reading your post yuck, im glad it didn't last too long for you. lucky yo had the older kids to help out with Riley.
sara - sorry to hear that the pain is still going strong. Archie slept 14 hours again last night he wakes up extremely happy, maybe he is having a growth spurt. have you ever used Sedalotion??? im thinking it could be good if you are teething, i use it on Archie's teeth when they are really bad it totally numbs the gum, great for ulcers too. Its from the chemist you apply it with a cotton bud.
leanne - good to hear that things are going okay for atm, i totally hear you about stupid drivers, they don't realise how dangerous it is do they?! hope your cough clears up quickly it is awful when you can't sleep cause of an annoying cough.
Archie slept from 7pm til 9am again! God i think im even jealous of myself! Somethings gotta go wrong, I'll probably get pg and have servere m/s or something! My hormones are going crazy, first month off the pill so its to be expected. Dad just rang to say he will visit on a couple of hours, Archie hasn't seen him for a long time, he only lives half hour away, but work always comes first for him always has, oh well his loss. Hope you all have wonderful days
I decided to go away even though Lachlan had his convulsion/high temp and he was fine. Although we did get dirreha from the anitibiotics. We had it in a big way, It was so bad it was coming out of his nappy onto the floor. A friend of mine looked after him on the Thursday as I had my dayspa appt but I just couldn't posssibly spend more time in the loos with him changing his nappy and clothes like I was on the Wednesday. And I wasn't feeling the best so I had little to no patience. He would poop up to 10 times a day, and it was just everywhere!
We are chucking tanties here atm, I try to ignore but it makes no difference, although when Wade is home he just picks him up grrrrr... His dad is such a softy!!!!
We had a 3 hour car trip home yesterday and boy was that hard! 1/2hr is all I get out of him sleep wise in the car now, which prooves quite difficult to keep him occupied.
He had his pead appt and all is well. He was actually 8.53kgs whahoooo.... I knew the CHN scales were wrong! His tonsilitis has cleared up nicely too. She wants us to try really hard to give him what we eat from now on, it appears the cooked milk products appear to be fine now. See I was trialling him b4 we left for Mackay, firstly custard, then cheese and he seemed fine but then he got this dirreha on Wed morning and I tried him on Yoghurt Wed arve, so my paed is not conifident with where we are at now. So giving him inner health at the moment to help with the runny poos and then in a week or so we will start again with the custard, then cheese, then yoghurt and see how we go, and hopefully he won't get sick in amongst it and we will know if he is tolerant to it or not this time round. My paed wants me to try him with our foods as best we can, even if he doesn't eat much. It is always safe for me to go with baby food or mushed up pumpkin as at least I am assured he will eat it and I know what he is getting!!! I will have to ring my paed in a month in between our 2 monthly appt so she can monitor his weight. She suspects or should I say hopes, that with time he will get hungrier and hopefully what he is eating is enough to maintain as he will never ever be a big boy ( I believe we have proven that). So hopefully what he does eat will be enough.
I spend a fortune on food for it only to be wasted!!! So hopefully this is the answer.
Also while I was in Mackay, I went out to dinner with some friends for dinner. It was so nice without the kids, we had a lovely time, that we lost track of the time. I think I got home at 11.30pm. Geez..... I must be getting old. Hehe.
Oh and before I forget had my ultrasound and mammagram, all is fine! Appears there aint even cysts there but definitely some tissuey stuff. I have been taking the evening primrose oil for over a week now and that is definitely subsiding my pain somewhat, so must have been hormonal stuff.
Anyway lachlan is in bed with his water bottle and it has been way over an hour, will go see if the cherub is awake or not.
Heya ladies. Though I’d start a post in word while I’m waiting for Em to have his arvo nap. He has just been feral since waking up from his morning one and I’m praying he sleeps even just for an hour. He’s cutting 3 teeth at the moment and is being a right pest. Has ended up in bed with me 2 out of the last 3 nights!
Still on my cleaning war path. I intend to have the house cleaned and cleared of junk and my assignment done by next Monday. Then I have 3 weeks to myself to scrapbook, post and move house!!!!
One of my friends had a little baby boy on my birthday (Celsie) and he is just adorable. It also means I have someone to pass on all of Em’s stuff to. I’ve decided its not worth keeping. There’ll be no more babies here for a long time and I’ll probably want all new stuff by then. It is quite sad giving so much away but at least giving it to my friend I can see her gorgeous little boy enjoy it all.
Em has started saying ‘wow’ and it is just so cute. He is really starting to imitate us both verbally and physically. Its honestly just adorable to watch. He has also started giving ‘smacking’ kisses rather then open mouthed tongue ones lol (though they still make an appearance when he’s excited!).
I’m having a major focus on saving money on my grocery bill. Anyone got any good tips lol? I realized I was spending as much as families of 5 were which is just crazy…
Hmmm I think all has gone quiet… he’s not asleep but playing quietly – I guess that’s good enough. Off to warm this house up – its FREEZING here – and tidy up a bit. I might post this now and then do personals later on tonight!
Gees Sara, you should just set up a tent at the hospital lol. Hope it went well this arvie. I'm really excited that you want to give BF another go. Don't know why. Mum reckons I've turned into a bit of a hippie latley. I will be here to support you.
Oh Christine, that sounds awful!!! Bet your ribs are sore from all that heaving too. Fingers crossed everyone feels better soon.
Good news about your MIL Leanne. Awful your Dad's unwell, but maybe it's a good sign that the drugs are fighting off the greeblies. Cough any better with the puffer?
Great news that all your appointments went well Sheree. Gross with the poo though.... My mum was taking inner health for a similar type of thing, but all it did was upset her belly worse. Hope it works for Lachlan.
Vic are you enjoying the gym?
Great news Jodie! Really hope you get a good price for it! Good to hear you and Leanne and Christine be positive about MILs, sure need plenty of doses of that. lol.
That's a mammoth ask Nat, hope you get it all done.
I haven't really got a lot about us. Night shift nearly killed me last night, this back pain sucks. And it's windy - it does the same thing to dogs, children and mad people - makes them all weird - made for a very interesting night shall we say....
I downloaded then ew WHO child health charts as the ones in the blue book are from when I was a kid - turns out at 80cm tall Darcy is off the chart for her hieght. I thought she was average until I went to visit a girlfriend and her baby girl (same age) and it was like Jack and the Beanstalk. Leanne I'm coming to spend more time with you our two weeds can at least talk on the same level lol.
Registered User
and I've been so cranky the last few days because of it. Hopefully will make it in tonight with personals otherwise I'll be in tomorrow.
One more night shift to go!
Can't actually believe it was my husband.
Your DH should be supporting you - so it sucks you have to hide the birth certs just in case...
and is being a right pest. Has ended up in bed with me 2 out of the last 3 nights!
