CONGRATULATIONS SARA, BRENT AND BRILEY!! Love the name Colby, very cute, sounds like you did a fantastic job, hope you are feeling okay after what sounds like a scarey delivery, goodluck wit the breastfeeding, can't wait to see the baby pics.

sheree - great news about the cld being bacterial maybe now your dr can give you something to clear it up, sorry to hear about the eyes though.

Wow i can finally breath through my nose again, sort of, now i have a really annoying dry throat/cough, hopefully the cold is in its last stages. oh i am still buzzing with the baby news, yippee, she's here at last!

I am so excited....!

Congratulations Sara... I was sure it was going to be a boy.

But I thought Katilyn was a boy so I am not good in that area.

What a great size and a healthy bub.

Congrats to you Brent and Briley.

And Colby..... Welcome little one !!!

Ohh thanx for that forgot about her belly buddies group. Derr...... stoopid me. Thanx for that.

no worries Sheree and nope don't feel much better

I hope you're feeling better soon Shazz :hugs: That sounds painful not to mention scary you poor thing!

Just a quiet one in tonight for us. I fell asleep on the couch at 5 I was that tired lol :redface:

I can't remember if I mentioned it or not but I'm going to the Gwen Stefani concert tomorrow night and can't wait :dance: Once Em is in bed will work out what I'm wearing etc as I'm going straight from work.

Alright I better go and get something proper to eat instead of eating Toobs lol :redface:

Ok I am going to try to do a long post WITH personals tonight!!
Shazz- you poor thing that sounds terrible I hope they are looking after you, I hate that post migraine feeling too.
Vic- how gorgeous!! we got a puppy 2 1/2 years ago, she chewed everything but at least she didn't cry all night like our first puppy did- she was like having a new born. With Belle, our current dog, we let her sleep in a box on DH's side of the bed and if she whimpered he patted her (the only night time baby duty he has ever done LOL)We also had a toy which the breeder gave us with the mother's scent on it.
Elissa- hope you are getting over your cold, there has been heaps of sickness around ATM we have had so many kids away from school. Touch wood all my children are well currently.
Kim- any more news on the move to Griffith? is it definite? Is Darcy feeling better now?
Leanne- enjoy your weekend I hope you get lots of rest.
Nat- how is uni going? when is the move?
Tania- where have you been??? when are you moving?
Jodie- hope your m/s is easing and you are well. Have you sold the business yet? How is the house selling going? Did you end up meeting up with your mother? What an awkward situation that must be for you, you really don't need extra stress at this point in your life do you?
Sheree- hope your m/s was a one off and not here to stay, I only had it with Riley so it was a real shock when i did have it! I hope the shared care situation works for you, my cousin's wife was living in Middlemount in central QLD when she had her DD and she went to Rockhampton to deliver. Not sure where that is in relation to you though.
Sara- so glad everything went well, how exciting to have a new baby to cuddle I am jealous!.
Riley is so gorgeous ATM its such a lovely age, he makes us laugh so much. When you ask him things now he says "yep" in this definite voice. he doesn't talk as well as the girls did but he babbles constantly. He is into all the cupboards and drawers and likes to take things with him every time we go out! last week he took the fish tank net to FDC, the next day one of Jess' highlighter pens , then one of Erin's erasers and today he took the home phone to woolies LOL
Tomorrow DH is going on a ride with guys from work so we are going to go shopping in the morning then to watch Jess' soccer semi finals.
Well i'd better post this before some thing happens and I lose the lot!!!

Have fun at the concert Nat.

Shazz, hope you are having a nice resting time tonight.

Omg Christine, Riley is so cute. What little personalities they have now. Middlemount is 1/2 hour away from us. Only down the road. Wonder if I know her. Rocky is a little shorter in distance then it is to Mackay from here, but I will be going to Mackay because my family are there.


Hey does anyone have a remedy for a cough. I have coughed all night long for two nights running and I am exhausted, I just can't sleep and just when I get to sleep the tickle takes over again. I tried the honey and lemon and I am sucking strepsils by the truckload tonight. I really need to sleep, then maybe Wade will come and sleep in my our bed again! Please help me, my stomach muscles are so sore from coughing sooo much!

Sheree- my mum swore by senegar but not sure if its safe when pg. One of the mums at school said hot milk with honey. My DH gets so pooey if i cough at night, I have actually come downstairs to cough before!!
My cousin etc moved from Middlemount about 6 years ago, we stayed there on our way to Darwin in 1999 and spent a day in Emerald getting our car repaired!

vic - congrats on the new arrival! I have been thinking that Cavalier king charles spaniel is the dog for us when we finish having babies, they seem great for families.

shazz - you poor poor thing, i really hope that doesn't happen again for you!

nat - wow, the Gwen concert will be awesome! mmmmmmm Toobs!

christine - i hope yuor kids make it through Witer without any germs, lol at Riley taking the phone to Woolies, you must have got some strange looks!

sheree - you poor thing, one of my most hated things in the world is having that dry cough all night! I have3 it too atm but i am taking a cough suppresant medecine, i doubt you'll be able to take that being pg, i would be interested to know what you can take though as i have been worrying about what i'll do when im pg. I hope you get some sleep tonight. How is the m/s?


Archie is having trouble getting himself off to noddyland tonight, im sure he'll get there eventually, only so much screaming one kid can do! My asthma is playing up now, theres always something to whinge about atm! Arch sadi broccoli tonight, well actually it came out as "occolocolocoli" very6 strange the words he decides to copy, at least its not the swear ones...yet.

OMG Shazz! That's terrible!!

I agree Elissa, but yeah al least it isn't the swear words. I'm worried about Darcy cos she's around policemen so often lol.

Christine our transfer was approved on Friday morning. We'll move probably October.

Well I've been up an hour and a half now by myself....DH has to start at 3am in town tomorrow morning so he went to bed when Darcy did. LOL at least the house is neat. I have to get up at 5 too, but it seems such a waste to go to bed. Off to work again tomorrow - I remember this week why I don't work full time.

Though I am exhausted today.
I googled senegar and I couldn't find anything about whether it could be used in preg. I did however find several chat boards with preggie women talking about using it so maybe it's worth asking the chemist. In my travels I found an EXCELLENT website that lists heaps of drugs and their pregnancy classifications. Bookmarked that.

Sara: I know your out of action for a while but if you do read this....send me some pics of your princess! I'm so excited for you!

Christine: Not sure when or should i say where we are moving.....settlement is 22/08 and as yet we have no new contract.......i'm not stressing though we will work it out. send me your email hun....i cant always get on BB these days but i do check email.

OMG i am going through a destructive phase, i'm sure......i have been so down lately, and not really sure why.....think i have an idea but who knows. not really comfortable talking about it just yet.

Hope you all are well....congrats SHeree on #2 and congrats Sara on your long awaited arrival......proud of you hun!!!

I hope to be on here more often soon but its just.......not right atm
oxoxoxox

tania - big hugs to you. I too am going through a really rough patch atm with anxiety, sometimes its a struggle to get through the days with my sanity in tact. I really hope you are okay, i am hear for you whenever you feel like chatting about it.

I have the most annoying cough today, its driving me round the twist! aArchie finally got the chance to run around outside at the playground today, he has been locked inside all week with a sick mum so it was great for him to run off some of that toddler energy.

big hugs tania you know we are all here for you when or even if you want some one to chat to

Oh Tania. Hope whatever it is get's sorted soon. Let us know if you need anything :hug:

Happy Birthday Leanne!

Hope you guys had a lovely day!
Gosh was it 12 months ago our antenatal reunion?
Are oyu coming next Saturday?

happy birthday Leanne hope you had a great day

Happy Birthday Leanne, hope you had a brilliant day :dance:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEANNE!!!!!

Flippin hell it has gotten cold here again! The early hours of this morning was freezing and all day it has been windy and cold. I think we are in for a cold night too! It was getting warmer here again, I am sick of this cold, cause I reackon the weather change has made Lachlan start to appear sick again today.

It's freezing here too after a couple of beautiful days.

My baby is still runnig ripper fevers. She has the panadol, fever goes down she's fine - panadol wears off and she's back to crappy. I got to Mums after work today and she was just sitting on Mum's knee. She didn't even hop up when I came in.....it's been a week now. Do you think I should take her back to the docotrs. We've gone through a whole bottle of panadol trying to get the fevers down. She's still not eating like the horse she usually is either. I let her have custard for dinner becasue it's a fight to get anything down. She didn't even want biccies or milky ways....

Cam's still not finished work either. He started at 4am.....overtime's going to be great next pay $$$

Whahoo show me the money, hehe.

Yeah I would be taking her back to the doctor. Was she originally put on antibiotics Kim? Lachlan and I are heading back to the doctor again tomorrow. Can't believe it costs $60 now!

Thanks everyone!!! Had a pretty good day. Had a quiet one at home and mum and dad came for dinner tonight (Mark cooked a roast! m mmmm).
Then my two brothers and their wives came for cake for dessert. Was a really relaxing day.

Yesterday we went to the markets and then ikea, we were out all day and I was stuffed last night.
But we bought Kaitlyn her first doona and pillow! She slepts 'like a baby' last night. Was so cute she even pulls it up over herself....

And today we bought her her first proper shoes. Went to shoes and sox and had her fitted properly. Bought some cute pink closed toe buckle sandal shoe like things with butterflies embroidered on them. Cost a bit though ~ $70. But I am glad we got her measured cause her feet are wide, high arches and one foot bigger than the other. Just like her daddy. Far out.

Kim. I would definately be taking Darcy to the doctors. Katy had a fever a few days in a row before I took her to the doctors and she ended up having ear, throat and chest infections. I would not have known she was sick if it weren't for the fever, and daycare phoning me to say she had a temp over 40. There's heaps of it going around at the moment. Might need a week of antibiotics or something.

Oh and yes definately coming to brekky on Saturday. That reminds me I need to find out what to bring.

Tania and Elissa big hugs to you. If you need someone to talk to pls call.

Well I am off to have a cup of tea and then night night for me
Big week ahead.

Take care all

Sheree: How you feeling sweetie? If you've got m/s - I sympathise with you. It seems 10 times worse when you've got a toddler and a business to look after. But it does ease up. And talking of easing up - that's what you have to do! Feet up as much as possible. Unfortunately, my body didn't even give me a choice - I didn't have the energy to get out of bed most times. But when it eases up - life is great & you have a stack of energy! Just don't worry about the housework or meals. If Wade has to get take-away every night - so be it. And let Lachlan eat whatever is easy to prepare. I had a shocking cough a month or so ago. I got this foul throat gargle antiseptic wash from the chemist. Don't know it helped, but there was not a lot I could take being pregnant. Also got some really strong lozengers from the chemist... they helped.

Vic: Congrats on your new arrival! Years ago I had a cavalier King charles. I got him from a shelter - and inherited the name Charles (I renamed him Charlie). Previous owners must have been really creative - NOT! He was the BEST dog!! He had so much character and personality. They say they are one of the best dogs for kids too! I had to find a new home for him when I went to live in England. Got the most lovely newly married couple who spoilt him rotten. They would send me photos & letters.

Elissa: How you feeling? Hope you're on the mend. Hope Archie didn't get the same illness. Like you, I've had Shaun screaming/crying non-stop for hours. Thankfully only a couple of days. Seems better now.

Shazz: Gosh, you're sick too!? convulsing & vomitting doesn't sound good. I've only had the odd migraine, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Christine: My m/s is completely gone now - thanks! I'm getting tired - but that's because I'm doing so much (selling home, selling business, finding new home, training new staff...). Mum's coming to Melbourne at the end of September - so a while to wait. I replied to her email and said we could meet at a shopping centre or restaurant & I haven't heard back from her. (she doesn't know where I live). Riley sounds so gorgeous taking things with him! How did Jess go at soccer?

Leanne: HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! hope you had a wonderful day! And hope Katy is feeling better... poor little possum.

Kim: wow... moving in October. If all goes well - I'll be moving around that time too... but not as far as you!

Tania: Love the new picture of Jayden in your ticker! Hope you're feeling okay. Must be something in the air. I had a cople of "down" days last week - and that's really unlike me. Hugs to you honey... if there is anything I can do - just email or msn. Always up for a chat if you need one.

Nat: Good luck with the house hunting. I didn't realise you were a single parent. How is Em feeling now? I hear that Gwen Stefani is fantastic in concert.

Sara: Not sure how long you'll be in hospital - but hope everything is going well. Can't wait to hear all about the birth. And can't wait to see photos of Colby. I just love that name!!


Well... another open house yesterday. 12 groups of people through. So far that's more then 50 groups of people (more then 100 individual people!). I'm getting into the habit of keeping the house clean, so that may stick after a while :) Apparantly a couple of people from last week were keen, and going to return yesterday. Hope they put in an offer. I would like to sell ASAP, rather then go to auction. Although it's so popular - we might get a good price at auction. But I don't like taking the risk. We were keen on two houses... but one got sold recently. The other goes for auction a week after ours. Yariv isn't as keen on it - but there isn't much around. I like it. And I will get my way!

Baby has started moving - which is a nice feeling.
No bites on my salon sale yet. I put it on eBay to see if that would get any interest. One guy emailed me... and I've put the broker as contact details - so not sure if he's had any contact. Might look at dropping the price again. I just want to get rid of it now. And my tax debt is not as bad as I thought it was. Would have been nice to make a really good profit on it - but it's best I let it go. And take whatever I can get for it.

Shaun is going well. He barely says any words. Babbles alot. But he's also being spoken to in two languages (hebrew & english) - so he will take longer. Funny though... we say "ef for bull bull"... and he grabs his crotch. "ef for" is "where is" in hebrew. You can work out what Bull Bull is! :lol:

Hope you all had a great weekend - and a great week ahead!

morning all sounds like we all have a busy week ahead i am about to start my bathroom renos so that will be fun NOT but it has to be done hope you all have a great day and i'll be back later for a chat and just a small w00hooo i just touched typed that post Omg i have never been able to do that before

Got another message from Sara, I will type as is!

Hey there. Just lettin you know we still in hospital. Colby got slight jaundnice and has to be under lights. Havin another blood test done today to check levels. If ok I will be askin to go home. She good but. Feedin like a trooper! Latches on everytime! I goin ok. Ended up needing a blood tranfusion but. Ok now thou. Tell the girls we say hi. Talk soon. Take care.

I am going back to the doc this arve, not that I think he can do anything but I need to get it all checked out! I feel miserable.

Hope he can do sometihng to make you feel bettr love.

Gee that was quick adam!

Way to go Adam :dance:

Well I just went to the doctor and he didn't do a HCG level, what tha...... With my previous history I just really want one as a starting point. Anyway going back tomorrow for another blood test. Why is they don't confirm pregnancy with a bt? I guess a urine test is so accurate these days huh?

Also the blood test did show low IRON levels (I think the normal level is 10-approx 20). Mine was 5. I am taking Elevit which I was sure had iron in it, so not sure why it would be low. Now I am wondering if I should be taking an iron supplement as well or maybe my iron is low because I have been sick with a cold. What do you all think? The doctor wasn't very clear.

I would take iron tablets as well just to be sure Sheree, take them with a glass of orange juice as it helps absorb it better.

Why don't you request one? mine did one. :dunno: The low iron thing could be because you're sick. SOme people's bodies don't absorb it well though either. Are you eating fortified cereals and having enriched milk products too (as well as grains and leafy veges)?

There is already 60mg of Iron in the Elevit! :o

I am going back to the doc tomorrow for the bt.

oh and yes I believe I am eating those foods Kim.

That's good. Maybe it's just cos you're sick.....
