Hey girls,

Just heading to bed but thought i would drop in quickly with some updates

Jayden has had high temps the last few days and i have had very little sleep, yesterday i was up from 3.30am with him and couldn't go back to sleep...my alarm went off so i had to get ready for work, last night Jayden kept waking and hysterically crying nearly every hour. Tonight so far is good and his temp has gone.

My SIL (in MElb) had a baby boy on Wednesday and my friend had a baby boy this morning, just SIL#5 to go she's not due til the end of the month, but she is having a boy too. My friend's baby has fluid on his lungs so they can't touch him yet which is really sad, she had 1 hr labour no stitches/grazes lucky girl but they said it was the quick birth why he has fluid on his lungs.

WE FINALLY SIGNED A CONTRACT LAST NIGHT!!! It was the house i originally wanted, they had $399k on it and we got it for $387k, brand new 4br/2bathroom/double remote garage etc. The Property No. is 104222019 if you want to check it out.

Any way this post is longer than i expected again, i better get some sleep while i can.

Sorry no personals again tonight, i will try to catch up soon!
oxoxoxox

Morning girls,

Vic - You've been very quiet lately! Good to hear from you though. Hope you are all well. Did you get my email of the girls????

Kim - Yeah i was thinking about the Doula course ages ago but just forgot about it. Now i am starting to think about my uni course coming up i am getting excited about studying again. Sick i know! I have downloaded everything from the Optimum Birth website and just have to purchase moldules now if i want to go ahead with it. I've even done a little research on the request for doula's up here. I spoke with a lady that i found here on BB who is in Townsville. She gave me her number so that i could meet with some other Doulas here. Did'nt make any plans yet as i still don't know what i am doing.

Tania - Got your email. Wow! The house is beautiful. I agree with Nat, the kitchen is awesome. I'd love to have a nice big kitchen like that! Do you like the square sink in the bathroom?? Its a bit different is'nt it! I bet your excited about finally getting away from the cats!!! Congrats to you and your family on the birth of the new babies. Sorry to hear that one of them is'nt doing so well. Keep us posted on how he goes. Poor little man.

Hi to everyone else! Did you all get my email??? Let me know if you did'nt so i can forward it too you. Its just some new photos of the girls.

Well we had another lovely nights sleep here. That was until Briley woke up at 5.00am and decided she wanted to stay awake!! So i put her in our bed as i usually do but she kept crying here and there. When she did Colby would stir straight away!! I kept just shoving the dummy back in Briley's mouth trying to keep her quiet so she would'nt wake Colby! Lovely are'nt i!

Not much planned for the day. Might go into town later when Brent gets home. Its easier to drag him along. Not that he likes it one bit!!!

I do have to get in and vacumn, mop and all the rest though. House is way overdue for that sort of clean!

Hope you are all well...

sara - how exciting becoming a doula! wish i lived near you so you could be my doula. Good on you for doing something for youself, will make all the difference i reckon, take way that feeling like your day to day life is so monotonuos and mundane sometimes. My mum put her bachelor of Nursing o hold this year too, she has a big decision to make whether or not she will continue the course, she has 1.5 years to go, having no money while studying and still having a teenager to support is her dilemma, she doesn't have a husband to rely on unfortunately. I used to think id like to be a midwife, but having gone through the labour and birth and seeing what midwives do i don't think i could hack it, hospitals scare me for a start! Im glad Colby is sleeping so well and not having wind troubles, hopefully it was just the baked potato. gotta love the dummy, it has been my saviour, Arch has been an extremely sucky bub right from the start, i feel bad sometimes when i shove it in his mouth so he'll be quiet. i didn't get ur email my address is elissamancuso@optusnet.com.au (hope im allowed to post it here) Love your ticker photo it is so gorgeous, its so weird to imagine Archie having a baby brother or sister at this age! My house is putrid atm, i haven't mopped in ages and having vaccuumed in a week, and i have no excuses like a new baby! Will do it on Sunday morning while Arch is at nanna's

kim- hope your 6 hr drive goes quickly and Darcy is happy enough in her carseat. GL finding a house.

shazz- hi!

tania - wow baby boys everywhere! we haven't had any girls in the family or friends for 7 years all been little boys. hope your friends bubba's lungs get working properly asap so they can cuddle him. Congratualations on the house, and its the one u wanted tahts great! When do you move in? Do u have to move far? I hope Jayden is feeling better tonight and u get a good sleep.

Archie has been very cute this morning (of course), he has taken quite a liking to a certain teddy this week (it is a little AFL bear that sings the team song and has a footy jumper its a Sydney one Poppy's team) he had to put socks on the teddy when i was putting his socks on, thenhe shared his brekky and drink with teddy,a tad messy, then he took teddy to bed and i tucked teddy in next to him and gave teddy a dummy, Archie just thought it was so cool that teddy had a dummy too lol.

DH and i are going to The Ballroom Blitz saturday night with friends, it is a function they hav down here once a year, you dress up in 70s stuff and dance to 70s music all night, its really fun. Don't know whether i will drink or not, still have this bug that isn't bad just a bit uncomfortable and annoying but dont think i want to annoy my body any more by filling it with alcohol. I bet eveyone will assume im pregnant again cause i won't be drinking......

Archie is sleeping through Playgroup yet again, will have to go next week though i have a raffle book to return.

Enjoy your weekends

leanne - woohooo i bet ur excited its Friday!!!

[Ilithyia]

I have forwarded the pics for you Elissa. And i saved your email address too!

[~shazz~]

evening all sorry no personals i'm feeling really sorry for myself i now have a infection in the root canal that they have just done so i feel like crap hope you all have a great weekend

[shereejoy]

Sorry girls I am still around, just been concentrating on my family atm, just something I need to do.

Thanks Vic for your thoughts, it was nice to hear from you.

Sorry this is about me or should i say my sister, but it is worrying times here again.

Not sure if I told you all but my sister was 2 weeks pregnant behind us and she had a scan in Brisbane (public system) today and they said that her baby at 8 weeks 4 days from Crown to Rump was measuring as 9 weeks gestation, but the limbs don't match (meaning the legs). They could barely see the buds for legs. She is freaking out as you would.

Can they really make this type of call so early, really the baby is still so small at this gestation???

I told her to go and get a referral from a gp to go and pay for a scan and get a second opinion, for peace of mind.

The public system have told her to come back in 4 weeks as it is still too early to tell. Meanwhile, 4 weeks of utter worry!!!!

She had an early pregnancy test at 3 weeks come up positive, so we are pretty sure she is atleast 8 weeks 4 days. She only dtd the twice and that was early to mid cycle and obviously that was good enuf for her to fall pregnant. They told her today that she probably has her dates wrong and the baby is probably younger then 8 weeks 4 days even though they did say the crown to rump was measuring correctly. The babies heart rate was 170bpm.

She is so confused and just doesn't know what to do.

[mrsmac]

Sheree, I would get her to go and get a private scan done. When I was pg with Riley I had to go into hospital for a collapsed lung and had my 19 week scan in there (public) I then went and had my private one as I had booked in for it and was out of hospital earlier than anticipated. My obs said the public scan measured things that hadn't been done for many years and didn't do other important stuff- he was horrifed by the poor quality of the scan info. Just for her own peace of mind I would get her to go to a well respected private clinic to make sure. I do not mean that scans done in public hospitals are bad just that there can on some occasions be problems. Hope no-one takes offence.

[shereejoy]

Thanks that is what I told her, to go and get a private scan for $100 and peace of mind it is worth it. She needs to know what she is dealing with. She took total offence and said what are you saying public system is not good! She said well even though they said 4 weeks, I really should leave it a week. I said well by the time you get in a private scan place it probably will be a week, so get to the dr and get a referral so you can book! I ended with the conversation, well I am only trying to help, so you do what you feel is best. I just think she is so confused atm, understandably. Personally I am so out of pocket from expenses to do with curettes etc.... (as I am with MBF), but this has just proven why I would rather pay and then atleast I get answers and know what / where to go next.

[Baby_Crazy05]

Sheree - so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you. I'm actually just sitting here thinking about my SIL (the one I actually like lol) ... she's pregnant at the moment ... about 8 weeks I think and we had a call from DH's dad yesterday saying that his mum had gone to see her as she was not "feeling well" but no other information. I just hope she's not having any pregnancy issues. She's being trying to get pregnant for 2 years and wants this baby so much. Can only imagine what you are going through.

Yes, Jovi weighed 9.6kgs last time we weighed her at the hospital a few weeks ago. I ended up finding her baby book and looking at the charts. She's actually pretty much on target with where she has been on the chart. She should only weigh 11.5 to 12 kgs by the time she is 2 so she's doing ok after all. Made me feel a lot better!

I think Jovi's going through the terrible 2's early ... she has such an attitude lately. SCreaming high pitch when she wants something. Always telling us No! Getting into just about everything. Throwing herself to the ground when you try to stop her running to places ... lol Anyone else??

[shereejoy]

Thanks and I hope you sister in law is doing ok.

Yeah Jovi is doing fine, we just have small children. I am convinced Lachlan is always going to be small. Still not fussed on food, well what I mean he is fussy and only eats what he wants and generally that is crap! He has a very small frame, so I can't see him ever being big. He is so light compared to other babies I pick up, so that is good in one way, especially when I was pregnant.

Yeah and as for the tanties, yep all normal, been having those for a while now, have our good and bad days as does anyone I guess. They know what they want the little monkies.

[widdly]

sara - the pics are just beautiful! thanks for sharing them with me.

shazz - you poor thing, i hope they sort you out soon so you can feel good again.

sheree - oh your poor sister, i really hope everything is okay for her, waiting another 4 weeks will be hell for her, sounds like a private scan might be the way to go. Good on you for taking some time out to be with your family, i hope you are feeling okay.

babycrazy - sounds as if Jovi's weight is perfect for her. By the sound of it Archie and Jovi could be twins atm with their tantys, no's, and screams!

Archie is still in love with the teddy, it has been everywhere with us this morning. Betta go, bought some groovy fabric from Spotlight this morning to sew into the botom of my jeans to make flares for the party tonight.

[~shazz~]

[~shazz~]

christine Vic Jodie Bec angela kim Tania leanne sheree Elissa kellee Alison Sara Nat hope everyone is just busy with their families
i did a norty today Dh has refused to let me get Ryan a dolls stroller to push Buzz in ( all his little friends have them ) but i got him one today and it is bright pink lol

[widdly]

shazz - Hope its only his toes that are broken, how did you get an infection in your face, my sister had one a few weeks ago that started with a big pimple that she squeexed, not nice. Good on you for getting the srtoller, Archies is bright pink too and DH wasn't exactly thrilled with it, Poppy went and bought him a lawn mower to push around instead but he still likes the stroller too. I saw a mum down the street the other day with a little bub in the pram and her litle 3 year old was pushing a bright pink stroller with a doll in it, good on her i say.

sara - luuuurve the avatar, im very jealous! I can't believe you were up til 4:30am, was it a good night? Must have ben if you stayed up that late. Hope the girls let u catch up on sleep last night

Just got back from kindergym, Archie had fun and has finally learnt that he has to go to the mat when the bell rings, progress.

Saturday night was fun but not as good as previous years have been out there. I was in bed by 10:30! Party pooper aren't i, we started at 5pm though. I haven't had an anxiety attack for nearly a month now and have been so relaxed and happy, but sat night i woke up after sleeping for two hours and was shaking violently, i thought i must have been cold so put more clothes on and got an extra blanket but couldn't stop shaking, had stomach cramps, felt nauseaus, was seeing spots like i was about to pass out, i tried everything i could to calm myself down and nothing would work, after an hour like this i finally got back to sleep, but ive been feeling anxious ever since and cant pinpoint what im actually anxious about. That was the worst ive had it by far and it was really scarey. Might look into a counsellor and try to get to the bottom of what im worrying about this time.

hope everyone enjoyed their weekends!
