hi all great to see your back kim and i have to sya i envy you at how long you got to feed Dracy for and i can totally relate to the greiving after finishing Bf somedays i still do
and as for the tiling i can't do any more until my lazy arse dearest darling husband takes the old vanity out he doesn't quite get it the i only have today and half day tomorrow to get this done and i'm doing it with a sore back i( i put my back /neck out last weekend and have been living on really really strong pain killers ) i have to go to the chiro tomorrow in the city i really can't wait to be able to take a deep breathe without the pain ok enough whinging back to work
We well survived the Dr's! It was a major mission as it was the first time i had to deal with both the girls on my own. Luckily i had a patient Dr. So anyways...Briley has tonsilitis and is now on antibiotics. And her gums are still playing up on her. She is dealing with it all so well the little dumpling.
The Dr did'nt have enough time to see Colby and I though. I was only able to get one appointment for Briley and though he might be able to see all of us. But we ended up being the last patients and he did'nt have time. So we have to go back tomorrow.
Kim - Briley is fantastic with Colby. She is a little rough at times but that is understandable at this stage. She does'nt understand when we are saying careful. Won't take long though cause Briley is really clever. When Colby has a coughing fit or is crying Briley will go over and stand next to her and then come out to me and look at me as if to say "Well are you going to do anything?!?!?!". She gives her lots of cuddles too.
Thanks for your words on the PND. If i have any probs i know i can always turn to you guys for guidance.
Leanne - Those molars are still on their way. The right one has finally cut the gum but the left is still coming. Briley's op is on tuesday morning. We went in on thursday afternoon for one last check-up and to speak to the anethesist. I don't think the reality of it has hit me yet. I will be shi**ing myself on the day though. Its a basic procedure though but i am scared that she has too be put to sleep. I'm sure all will be fine.
Thanks for your guidance on the PND too. I will be sure to keep an eye on it. I am feeling pretty good now though. I think it was just the shock of coming home and having to take care of 2 babies.
Tania - Is'nt there a lot of rental accomodation available where you are??? Or are you's buying??? You might have mentioned this already but i can't remember!!! Sorry! I hope you find something soon hun!
Elissa - I hear you on the need to stop swearing!!! I have too admit we are terrible when it comes to our language. We swear heaps. And in front of Briley. She has'nt copied any of the words yet but we need to clean out our mouths with soap and put a stop too it!!!
Think thats everyone! Sorry if i missed you. Hi to you and hope you are well.
Don't have much else to report. Colby's cough is getting better thank god! Breast feeding is still going well. I have'nt had her weighed since the 5-10 day check-up so might have the Dr's do it tomorrow aswell. She also smiled at me for the first time yesterday and is starting to "coo" already! I definetely think she is going to be a mummy's girl. Briley is daddy's girl all over. When someone is holding Colby and she can hear me talking she looks over at me. I think its so sweet.
I am still getting my headaches but am off to the Dr tomorrow about it. I was having issues before i fell pregnant with Briley which seemed to have already returned. I was having break through bleeding and constant period like pain and they thought i might have PCOS. I was booked in for a hystercoscopy and laparoscopy to have a look at my ovaries and an abrasion found through a MRI on my uterus. The pains started again straight after i had Briley and i was re-booked for the op's but i fell pregnant with Colby. I am going for my 6 week check-up at the hospital where i was meant to have the op's so i will ask about it then.
Well this has turned into a mammoth post. Don't know what's got into me!!! Better go before i keep raving on!
kim - buy new bras and you'll be guarranteed to fall pg the next month just so your bras can't be used and you waste money, its how the world works, go on do it, buy them, you'll get a BFP!
shazz - hope you get your back sorted ASAP
sara - thats okay you're allowed to keep raving on! great that you got some meds for poor Briley, well done with juggling both the girls by yourself you must feel very confident now that you know you can so it by yourself.
Archie and i had a wonderful afternoon down at Poppy's house. We went for a walk along the beachfront and played on the playgrounds and chased the seagulls and picked flowers. Archie freaked out when i took his shoes off and stood him on the cold wet sand, he loved watching the water flowin and out though. Dad absolutely dotes on Archie, i am 1 of 4 girls so i think having a Grandson is quite a special thing for him, i often tell my sisters that they have to have girls so that Archie will be totally spoiled rotten all his life, naughty me! Bought him a chuppa chup for the drive home, he thought he was pretty special. he went straight to sleep tonight (after a protest when i told him it was ni nis time of course) so the fresh sea air must have tired him out.
Elissa how cute with Archie on the beach. I too give Lachlan lollipops, gave him one this arvo, it just slows him down a bit, we were all in the yard, so just to ensure he wouldn't go too far! He really doesn't get the concept to suck back the juices though, it is so funny.
Shazz - hope your back gets better soon, you have had a run of bad luck of late.
Sara - Struggeling with 2 babies was bound to happen, but I think you are doing a fab job!
Kim - nice to see you back, I reackon you will be pregnant soon, I have a feeling.....
Tania - been meaning to text you. Hope you find a house real soon! You must have had a gut full by now huh?
Leanne - keep going with the Weight Watchers it does work, I lost 22kgs, but I must admit I was a fitness freak at the time too! Hope you are able to shrug a bit soon.
Christine & Vic - How are you both?
Well girls, I may be MIA for the rest of the week, we are having Wade's siter, BIL and nephew here till Thursday. Will be nice to see them all. They were coming on Friday, but they got that vomitting and dirreha bug.
Yeah it is messy. Think that is the 3rd one I have given him now, and one was because he grabbed one off the supermarket counter without me looking and when I realised it was in his mouth plastic and all! So I thought what the heck, see what he does! So three later and he is still dripping juices everywhere. He loves them thou.
Chunk chunk (alias Alex) is 7 weeks older then Lachlan. So yes they will have fun. Chunk chunk is a big big boy, hence his name. He has only started walking of recent weeks.
lachlan is crying for the 3rd time 2nite already, best go......
Vic ~ i hope you are all alright and are no where near the flooding up your way
Christine ~ where are you hope everything is alright
Kim ~ have you Dracy off the night bottle ?
Sheree ~ yep run of crappy luck but hey thats my life
Elissa ~ woohoo on your decision

Well i phoned the hospital thismorning about Briley being sick and they have postponed her op till after she gets well. I was kinda disappointed as i had prepared myself for it all tomorrow but its better to be safe than sorry. Not sure how long we will have to wait for another appointment though. Hopefully not too long. They told me before that the can't leave it too long as the older she gets the more serious the op gets.
We are all off to the Dr's this arvo to be checked over. Me for my headaches, Colby for everything and Briley to check on her cold, cough and tonsils.
I forgot to ask in my last post about weight loss with the breastfeeding. Did or have any of you lost and kept of the weight while you were breastfeeding?? I was up to 89-90kg's when i was pregnant and i am down to 80kg's now. I am hoping that i will keep going down with the breastfeeding. I put the weight back on so quick with Briley. I am enjoying being kinda thin at the moment!
Leanne - Huh???? What's it in relation to hun???
Elissa - Sounds like you had a great day at the beach. It was a lovely day here yesterday too but Brent reckoned it would have been too windy for the beach. We just went to bunnings for a few gardening things and then chilled out at home.
Sheree - Awwww a little play mate for Lachie. I can't wait (well i can cause i am savouring the baby moments!) till Colby is old enough to play with Briley. To watch them playing together.
Shazz - Hope your back gets better soon hun. Mine is'nt as bad at the moment so i can't complain.
Well better get Briley in the bath and then bed for sleep before we head into town. I am dragging MIL into town with me today. Not that i really want to be around her (*****y i know, but its enough living with them let alone taking them places with you!). I just need the help thats all. Grocery shopping with 2 babies is just too much at the moment!
sheree - sound like lachlan will have a ball with chunk chunk (had a giggle at the nick name, my cousin who is 2.5 used to have the nickname fatboy, obvious reasons!). Hope Lachlan went to sleep okay for you last night, got up to Arch 6 times last night, not happy Jan.
shazz - hope your back is feeling better now, bummer about running out of internet time, talk to you again soon then.
sara - GL at the doctors, hope you all walk out with a clean bill of health (if only it were that simple). bummer about the op, now you will have to psych yourself up for it again! Great to hear about the weightloss!! BFing worked wonders for my baby wieght, i was back to my pre pg weight when Arch was 8 days old!! I think i would have kept losing weight if i had of kept bfing more than 5 weeks. mmmm bunnings, we miss that store, we are getting one built down here at the moment. hope your grocery shpping went okay with both bubs.
Archa nd i went for a walk through the wildlife park, we saw an emu that kept following us walking right along side archie very cute, about 15 kangaroos, a mum duck with her babies and lots of birds. Archie is pooed and is now in bed, hopefully for a couple of hours.
Just got home from the Dr's. We are all AOK. Brileys chest is cleared and her tonsils are getting better. My headaches are apparently tension headaches which is visable due to my current circumstances. And for the big news....
Colby has put on 1kg in 3 weeks!!!! I had her weighed and she is 5.2kg's now!!! My breast milk must be working wonders!! YAY!!!!!! I am so happy that its going well. Fingers crossed it continues this way!!
Colby is a little windy this afternoon and has been a bit upset. Better go and check on her!
sara - you got the clean bill of health after all, good for you!! So glad to hear that Briley is getting better finally, 1 kg in 3 weeks, what a little champ ( and you were obviously made to bf!!) fantastic to hear everything is more than okay with everyone!
My sister and her boyfriend came over tonight and cooked us dinner, we had crispy chicken tacos, mmm mmm, we all ate way too much including Archie! I find it amazing that with a change in attitude from me causes such a huge change in attitude for Archie, since i made my decision re ttc i feel great and i have had no 'fights' from Archie at all, he has been my helpful little angel again.
WOW! Very quiet in here today. Where are you all??
Has anyone heard about the 2 week old baby girl that was mauled to death by the family's pet husky?? I just saw it on the news and had to jump on here straight away to see if anyone had posted in the news thread. Someone already had. Its such a terrible tragedy. I gave Colby an extra tight cuddle while i was listening to the story. Might heart goes out to the family.
Not much happening here today. I was meant to tackle my massive pile of ironing but did the washing anyway. I really have to do the ironing tomorrow though!
Briley is almost fully recovered! Colby still has a terrible cough and woke up twice lastnight in a coughing fit. Amazingly though she went straight back to sleep both times and sleep all night through till 5am! After i fed her i dragged Briley into bed with me, made the room real dark and managed to get a sleep in till 9.20am! It was good.
Nothing much else to report. Other than that we had 11 chickens hatch today. They are so cute. We showed Briley but she did'nt really want to touch them cause they were so small.
sara - love the new pic, wow Colby is growing up so fast already! That poor 2 week old baby, the parents must be just so unbelievably distraught, sends chills up my spine whenever i hear about it, just reminds me how easily accidents can happen when we think we are doing a good job of keeping bub safe. Great news about Briley feeling better, the chicks must be so cute. Hope Colby's cough goes away tonight. I don't know where everyone is, i came in earlier this afternoona dn nobody had been on soi didn't bother posting......
Archie had his follow-up renal u/s this morning. Had to get him to drink 250ml of fluid at once, gave him strawberry milk and to my surprise he downed it in minutes! He did really well during the scan, was suprisingly co-operative. He is such a littel copy cat now, I told my sister he prob wouldn't kiss her goodbye as he was in a angry mood this afternoon and he looked at her and said "angwy" clear as a bell with this really serious face! Sometimes i relly don't want this age to end.....other times i want him to leave home lol!
Hi girls, sorry I haven't been around, i took a few days for the computer to get fixed (yes we have lost everything) and then I have been feeling a bit blah and not very in the mood for posting, not sure why think its just my depression playing up with AF or something. I will try to catch up on some personals but please forgive me if I forget you. Kim- great you have a new place to go to, what is it like? Will your place rent easily? Are you coming to Fairfield City farm on the 13th Sept??? It would be great to see you again before you go. Leanne- have you decided what to do yet about work etc? Its a tough one, I don't envy you. BTW a shrug is a little cover/cardigany shawl thing- if you watched Kath and Kim on Sunday its the orange thing Kath wore over her dress to the Retailer of the year awards! Elissa- I can perfectly understand you wanting to leave TTC until Archie is 3, from friends I have seen that seems to be a really good age gap, everyone is different and you need to do what suits you. Tell DH not to be so stupid about his age thing, OMG he'll only be in his mid 30s we have dads at school who are in their 40s or 50s when the kid starts school. Jodie Big woo hoo on the sale of your house and the new one, gosh houses are so much cheaper in Melbourne than here. Glad you don't have to have a interim house you can move straight into the new one. Will you get removalists? Hope the shop sells too. Sheree: Hope you are having fun with your visitors, i bet Lachlan is loving having someone to play with his own age. Are you feeling any better now with your m/s? Does this pg seem to be going faster cause you are so busy? Sara Colby looks so gorgeous, well done with the feeding too, sounds like she is definitely thriving. I bet Briley thinks she is a big doll. Sorry to hear about all your colds etc its a bad time of year isn't it. Hope Briley gets well and can have her op soon. I know how scared you must be, I was upset when Jess had a general anesthetic at 11! BTW I kept off my weight loss with bf. Shazz Hope you are all well and DH has gotten off his butt and helped with the bathroom!
Well I am now running late so I'd better bolt!!! Have a great day ladies!
That poor little bubba. I can't imagine what that couple must be going through. My opinion - kids first, then pets. My little bro was mawled by a big dog when he was little (about 2 1/2 or so), and I just don't want to risk it. Mum and dad were looking at some furniture at someone's house through the trading post, and the dig jumped him. I think he still has a scar on the top of his eye.
Rambling...... sorry
Hi Christine.
Decided to go with our original plan and stay working full time until No 2 comes along. I'm hoping to be TTC by early next year so fingers crossed it won't be for too much longer.
It's really the only way we can survive with the interest rates etc at the moment. I know that we could rent, but has anyone tried to find a house to rent these days? Also, we are in the market now, so don't really want to have to start again if you know what I mean. Katy does come first, but we need to think for the future too. Sorry, bit of a ramble there.
Mark's expecting a pay rise in September, so I hope it is a substantial one.
My PND is playing up too .... BIG TIME..... AF is due next week so that just reassured me that all MAY BE okay. I am off to the dr tonight cause I want to try and reduce my medication doses, so pls wish me luck. I am little (alot) nervous. I don't want to be on them when I am PG and I want to be off them before TTC. I am also going to get the tummy (pooh pain) thing checked out and one of my boobies is hard on one side. Probably nothing, but want to make sure.
Hey Everyone, another quick drop in to see how you all are. The first in my last post wasn't meant to be there...not sure how it ended up but I just saw it when I logged on now. I'll attempt some personals, there is so much to catch up on (but I have read them all)
Leanne: WTG on that long post hehe
Elissa: I'm not stressed so much but I have heaps on so I feel rushed and disorganised. Things will settle down now I think now we are out of the other house. Well done on your 1st night away, I must admit its a little addictive haha. Thats great you have made a decision about TTC too, 33 is not too old at all. Although my SIL & BIL have had TTC problems they are 4 weeks away from being 1st time parents at 38 & 41. OMG @ archie swearing, our friend's daughter 17mths said f@#k it after her daddy said it. We don't swear too much around Jayden so I hope he won't say it for a while haha
Shazz: TV's blaring must be a male thing, Chris is good at it too!I hope your back is getting better
Kim: OMG not long until you move! What a big step for you and Darcy, I hope you both cope ok. I went up a full cup size too when I stopped feeding.
Sheree: Hope your M/S doesn't last long, but part and parcel of pregnancy unfortunately, a friend of mine was hospitalised for M/S, she couldn't move her little finger without vomiting.....thank god I never got it that bad!
Sara: We sold our house and the idea was to have contract on another house about the same time, but houses in Bundy are cr@p for the price you're paying. I thought about renting until we found another house to buy but its hard with 2 dogs & a cat. Great to hear you are all on the mend. Well done on the BF'ing I know how much it means to you to be able to this time round......WTG Colby on the weight gain!!! Jayden would just love those little chicks! If we get a house with some land I want to get him some chooks, he loves them and his impersonation of them is priceless!
Christine: Hope your PND settles down soon. I know what you mean with the Blah feeling, i have been feeling the same way lately.
I haven't heard much re: the baby that was attacked, but OMG it brings tears to my eyes hearing things like that! I has attacked by a dog when i was about 4, I have a scar from my eye to the bridge of my nose & another in the corner on my nose. The kids that owned it always tormented the dog and i was just there one day when the dog had enough of it. It was a labradore(sp) too so it was unexpected. I couldn't imagine what that family is going through. SIL#6 works with the baby's grandfather i think, he flew over to be witht he family, he'd never met the baby.
Living at SIL#6 so far has been pretty good. 1 of my dogs has been jumping the fence already (played with the dog behiund us for a bit and jumped back) so we got a chain to put him on until Chris fixes the fence. Today SIL & I were talking and we heard something outside, my dog had tried to jump the fence with the chain on and he was hanging over the fence......we sh*t ourselves nearly! We ran out opened the gate and lifted him back over, luckily he wasn't hanging for long!
Jayden is sleeping in the computer room which is making it hard to get on the computer now, the only time I have time is when he is asleep. He is in his cot behind me now sleeping....so far so good, he hasn't woken up hehe.
Anyway this was meant to be a quick post! I have boxes i have to move into the garage and washing to do. I have 3 days off work this week so I have to make hte most of it hehe
Christine - Great to hear from you hun. Everyone has been a little quiet in here lately. Briley loves Colby big time. She understands that she is baby and knows her name is Colby. She just says baby when she hears or see's Colby. I am keeping everything crossed that i keep the weight off. I went straight back up to 86-88kgs after i had Briley. Did'nt take long at all to put it all back on.
Leanne - Hope the Dr's appointment went well. Glad you are getting yourself check out. Esp with the lump in the boob and the poo pains. You can never be to careful.
Well i have had an eventful morning people. I got up and did the HUGE pile of ironing and finished it! I had been putting it off for ages and ages.
Then, i was just about to fill Colby's bath tub up to give her a bath and i heard the loudest banging and crashing coming from the road close to our house. I looked out the kitchen window and saw MIL running towards the road and i realised what i had heard. It sounded like a truck had crashed on the road. My heart was beating a hundred miles an hour and i went outside and yelled to MIL that i would drive down and see what happened. We live 40k's outside of town so i knew if anything bad had happened ppl would need help.
So i jumped in the car and sped down there. On the way i thought to myself "Am i prepared for what i might be about too see?!?!" When i turned the corner i saw 3ppl walking down the road 2 of them were army men (We live close to an army training area). There was stuff all over the road. When i got up to them the lady walking with one of the army men said that everything was ok and they were going to her house to call someone for help. She lived across the paddock and road from us. I could tell that she was just a shook up by it as us. She must have flew down there!
I am not quite sure what happened but. I think that the trailer the army men were towing must have hit some gravel on the side of the road and started to fish tail. The car must have been getting pulled around by the trailer too cause there were tyre marks all over the road. Finally the trailer must have flipped throwing everything out and all over the road. There were massive gouge marks in the road from the trailer. So i'd say that was the noise we heard.
All in all it was a terrifying thing to hear. You just don't know what to think when you hear something like that. You know its an accident and it sounds bad. Luckily no-one got hurt though.
So that was my morning. Sorry for the novel! I just had to tell someone!
Other than that we are all well. Kinda anyways. Brileys cold seems to be coming back would you believe! I can't believe it. Even with the antibiotics its still sticking around. Colby is still coughing too. I am pretty good but. Touch wood!
I hope you find something soon hun!
in my last post wasn't meant to be there...not sure how it ended up but I just saw it when I logged on now. I'll attempt some personals, there is so much to catch up on (but I have read them all)
I had been putting it off for ages and ages.
