Quick Question..... Anyone else have issues with their kids keeping a sun hat on? Ive started telling Katy that she can not play unless she keeps her hat on. Persistance will pay off right?

Gee it's quiet in here.
Hallllooooooooo can anybody hear meee?
I can hear you. How's Katy?
Darcy won't keep anything on her head. She used to be great, not anymore.
What sort of discounts do you get with the plat membership?
Jovi used to hate anything on her head but she's right into Fifi and the Flowertots and we bought her this little cap from the local ABC shop and she wears it all the time ... even inside!
Tried getting one that has something on it that Katy likes?
I dunno about discounts. I was interested in the arcade!!!! he he and only $40 for the year so though heck why not
Katy's spots are gone! Yep gone. Can't believe it. Must have been viral not German Measeles. Thank goodness for that.
Ah poop my potatoes are boiling over.
BBL
lol i'm up early all the time i hate it ... so i have a little woohoo i just top the score for a game i have been trying to crack for days now in arcade so woohooo for me ( gees i don't have a life )
oh nearly finished the bathroom so i'll take some pics and email to who ever wants a squizz i am so proud of us we did it all and even without fighting woohoo
Hi girls.
Will try to pop in tomorrow night and update you all.
Was doing really well, but it just hit me a few days ago, and have been struggeling ever since. Although now I am home in Wade's arms, things are feeling alot better. I was really beating myself up cause I have everything to be grateful for and why was I feeling this way, but I think 2nd time twins is really doing my head in. I just don't want them if I can't carry them! It was just so surreal, pregnant one day and not the next, I was doing so well, no bleeding, but I do think I just knew something was up too! I think also having to go through everything myself now without Wade is really taking its toll on me. Taking on this business is really hard on our family at times. Last time he was there holding my hand. Luckily Lachlan gave me lots of cuddles and kisses, which I think is why I was handling it so well, and then I just got terribly home sick and needed both of my men. Only got home yesterday arve and I had my curette the Friday before. Anyway I am sure it will get easier, but it makes me ever so grateful that I have my beautiful healthy boy.
Will update you all a little futher tomorrow night, but thank you all for your thoughts! Really didn't think I would be so upset this time round, but think there is alot of things going on in my head atm too!
Hang in there hun we a re all here for you when ever you need to release some of the feelings your bound to be experiencing :hug:
Darcy let me sleep in until 9 o'clock this morning woohoo! and she's back in bed now...
Woo hoo Kim That's fantastic.
Katy's back in bed too. ACtually ate my lunch without her on my lap!!!! And..... Just moisturised my feet! Have not done that in ahhhh 16 months.
Happy 16 Months Darcy and Kaitlyn....
woohoo kim i bet that felt great
hey leanne hope your weekend went slow and steady and you enjoyed every bit here comes another wicked week friday will be here before we know it ... ( i hope anyway )
tehe they are too! feet...hmmm I'd rather not think of mine....better give them some attention before thong weather.
Hi ladies, we have had a nice weekend down the south coast, left on Thursday afternoon. Riley was great he slept beautifully in his travel cot and was good in the car. we took him to the beach, he was very impressed with sand but not to happy with the taste of it!! he threw it around a lot, mostly in his hair.
I will pop in tomorrow for personals but I just wanted to say how sorry i am Sheree, my thoughts are with you.
leanne - Archie went through a stage of refusing to keep a beanie on his head in Winter, but he has been really good with his sunhats so far, he will pull off hat if it is a bit tight, so the looser the better here. Great that katys spots have cleared up, sounds the same as what Archie had at 12 months. YAY on the platinum membership, i have been thinking of joining too. Does that mean you can have a cartoon pic of you at the top of your posts? lol at moisturising you feet, i did that for the first time in 2 years on Friday, gosh it feels good!
babycrazy - hi, i don't know if we have 'met' on here before, Jovi is very cute. i weighed Archie this morning and he is 13.5 kilos!! he is a very solid boy though, like his dad, and tall.
shazz - woohooo on the bathroom, im looking forward to seeing the pics.
sheree - wish i could give you a huge hug, i am sorry you had to go through it all again, remember we are here whenever you ned to vent or chat about things. Glad to hear that you have Wade again.
kim - woohoo Darcy Dragon!!!!! Great sleeping!
christine - glad you enjoyed your trip down south, sounds like Riley enjoyed it too.
Well.....we had DH's uncle and Grandfather stay with us fri, sat and sun night, they left this morning (thank goodness!! they were driving us mental) My dad came over yesterday and gave archie a toy lawn mower, i wish i had the camera out cause the proud look on his face was priceless, he looked at me and said 'mower!' with this gorgeous excited proud grin on his face. he has been obsessed with DH's 'mower' for a few weeks, so since last night he hasn't stopped pushing his mower around the lounge, he even stops every now and then to bend down and fix it, he must be getting an imagination now.
He is talking constantly now, always copying what we say inclusing last night at tea time when Dh said 'Fing H#ll'...not good. he is also eating huge amounts of fruit and vegies, so our shopping bill has risen quite a bit. He has adjusted to only being able to have his dummy for bed times, it means we have to deal with him whinging a lot more cause i used to just give him a dummy to quieten him down.
i weighed myself this morning, not happy, i have put on 7 kilos, so i am very motivated to walk more and eat less, feeling quite frumpy atm. AF finally decided to show on Saturday thank goodness, i had a 9 week cycle, ridiculous, hope it settles down soon.
Hi girls,
I've been a bit MIA lately in here. I am so busy at the moment its not funny. The girls keep me occupied most of the day! Time goes so quick though. Colby is 5 weeks today already!
Well things are going pretty well here. Colby is doing really well. We kinda have a night routine now. She feeds on and off up until around 8.30-9pm and then sleep through till 4.00am. We then have a feed and back off to sleep till around 8.30am. We do have the occasional night where Colby wont settle till around 11.00pm though! Those nights are killers! We had one of them lastnight!!
Colby is starting to smile heaps now too. It takes her a while to work it out but if you just sit there and talk to her she will give you one. She looks really different when she does smile. She is really starting to get a lot of control over her neck now. She can hold her head up on her own when you put her over your shoulder. Last night my mum had her laying on a pillow on her tummy and she was lifting her head and chest up looking around. Colby was "cooing" to mum aswell! I can never get her to do it but my mum can. She could do it with Briley too!
Feeding is going not too bad. She is still feeding really well but vomits a lot of it back up. We went to the footy the other night and i had expressed a heap for the night but brought a tin of formula for back up just incase. Mum gave her some BM but she vomited that up so mum tried her on the formula and she drank the lot without spewing and went to sleep straight away. Ofcourse this gave me a bit of a complex and i thought that maybe she could'nt tolerate my milk. I am going to speak to the Dr about it at our 6 week check-up. I thought maybe it was reflux but i thought reflux was like power chucking though. Maybe not???
If need be i will put her on formula. I don't have a problem with it at all. Briley had to be switched to formula at 4 weeks cause she would'nt latch properly and therefore not getting what she needed. She is perfectly healthy. BUT....i really wanted to BF for as long as i could this time. I can tell that she is growing fine as i notice she feels little bit heavier everyday!
Briley is still trying to get rid of her cold. I brought the repeat for her anti-biotics the other day cause she started leaking yellow snot from her nose again. She still has a bit of a cough even! I don't know why she can't get rid of it all. I wonder if you can buy Vitamin C tablets or powder for kids her age???
She is really REALLY starting to talk now. She can't put a sentence togethe but she can say heaps of words. It does'nt take her long to learn new ones either. She even says "yes" and "please" but only when she is sucking up!!! Her favourte word is still "chooks" though!!!
We might be getting an old horse for her soon. A friend heard of someone that was trying to give away an old mare that is "bomb proof". They said she is perfect for kids. So we are going out to have a look at her on sunday. I think they even have a kids saddle to go with her. We are just going to go out and see how Briley reacts on the horse and that sort of thing before we say yes or no. I think she will love her though.
We still don't have another day confirmed for her eye operation yet though. I keep dreading every monday that a call might come through!! They always seem to call on a monday.
Well i don't think there is much else to report. I am doing well. Starting to get a few pains back though. I was having some issues before i fell pregnant with Briley. Dr's thought maybe PCOS. Was booked in for laparoscopy and hystercoscopy but fell pregnant both times!! Must mention that to the Dr at the 6 weeks check-up too!
Better go Colby is having a "windy" day today and is starting to get upset. Sorry for no personals. I am so far behind on them.
Hope you are all well....
Kisses and Hugs!
She could just be a happy chucker Sara! Don't be talked into the formula. She's putting on weight and she's not constantly distressed. You are what's best for her.
Ok well here is the story girls as promised.
I just keep asking why why why are we onto our 2nd twin miscarriage.........
As you all know I really didn't even think we were pregnant and wrote off the month we just conceived as I went away without Wade to a Gift Fair in Brisbane. I left on cd11 and I felt ovulation really strongly on cd16. So there you have it cd29 and no af, and got a really strong positive at 2pm in the afternoon with a trickle trickle (as I had a bladder infection).
For some strange reason, I kept saying, hope it aint twins. Had all the standard blood tests and when they returned I asked what my HCG levels were and they said they weren't a standard test. I had sooo many for previous pregnancies that I felt I needed one. So they came back at 5 weeks 2 days as 3000 and something. So that put my mind at ease there was only 1 and things were really good with those levels.
I was getting nauseas every afternoon / nite and I was grumpy, so again I was thinking all was well. Also had no bleeding and I bled with both other pregnancies from 5 weeks. I really wanted a scan as I had 7 up till 12 weeks with Lachlan and I was getting so anxious.
Then at 8 wks 2 days I had this terrible stab in my gut that lasted all of 5 seconds but it took my breathe away and I instantly started discharging. But this discharge was so slight and only just discoloured.
I went to the doctor in the morning to request a scan as I needed to know why I had gotten this far with no bleeding and why this was all of a sudden happening. I have always had eventful pregnancies and I was just feeling so anxious that I was having a smooth ride for a change.
That afternoon I had a scan, and the senographer held my hand and had a tear in her eye and told me the sad news. I had a sac that had split and was still partially joined in one corner. So this was an identical twin pregnancy. There were no embrios in the sacs, so this pregnancy was not at all viable.
My first miscarriage of twins started with brown bleeding at 5 weeks and went for a scan at 5 weeks 4 days and I only have one baby in one of the sacs with a heartbeat of 109bpm. I went back for a scan 10 days later to find the 2nd of my twins had also passed on.
My second pregnancy was that of Lachlan and he is alive and well (other then some hard times of severe reflux). I also bled from 5 weeks with him and it was more red then brown. I stopped bleeding at 8 weeks and then at 11 weeks I woke in a pool of red blood and proceeded to the loo where I passed a huge clot about the size of my palm and as thick as my thumb. I stopped bleeding at 15 weeks and cruized thru the rest of the pregnancy other then high blood pressure and swelling.
So I never know what is really going on it appears, I have had brown, red and no bleeding and you never can tell if your baby/babies are going to be ok.
I have seen a gyno re: this pregnancy and he has given me the confidence to have an early scan at 6 weeks to see what I am dealing with. He said I have a very high chance of twins again and if that is the case I don't want them if I have to go thru the ordeal of m/c them all the time! He even question if Lachlan was possibly a twin???? I didn't want to have a scan this pregnancy I was trying to stay positive as I knew people would say why do you want a scan, be positive you have had no bleeding........ Guess a mother always knows when things are not right and I just knew that I don't cruize through pregnancy.
Even when I asked for the hcg level the nurse said you don't need one, we only do them for threatened miscarriage. If only I knew there were twins I would have realised that those levels for twins were not good! My twins at the same stage in my first pregnancy were 55000.
Sorry for the mammoth post, just really been upset and beating myself up about feeling so at loss and very confused about the twin scenario. I have everything to be grateful for, I have a healthy boy! I think owning this newsagency and having to go 3 hours for a curette myself really got to me. Wade cannot get away from our business now and our family really suffers in times like these. Last time he was there holding my hand.
This has been really doing my head in having lost 4 babies now and the chance of it continuing to happen......
Oh and thank you Kim for your email I appreciate it. Sorry I didn't mention it in my post a couple of days ago.
Thank you to all for your support. Mwah
wow... been a while since I posted... busy busy.
Started working at the salon last week. Thought it would have killed me; but my adrenilin must have kicked in because I managed to get through both days with fully booked clients. Mind you.. I crash when I get home.
I've been trying to pack boxes.. but sometimes it seems like a lost cause. I've done about 15 boxes - but it doesn't look any different!
Shaun: has been a right monster with the sleeping... and tonight he just won't go down. Although he is very close to dropping off now. We had a week of hell where he woke up every night... once staying awake from midnight to 4am. It really knocked me about. The next night I succumbed and gave him some valergan and he slept right through. The next night he stayed at my dads house (yariv & I went to a party)... and apparantly he slept well there. And last night he slept right through again. Fingers crossed he sleeps through tonight. aaahhhh... silence now.
pregnancy: nothing exciting happening there. Just feel like a big hippo. Get really tired most days.
right... now some personals:
Leanne: Shaun used to detest any sort of hats on his head. Hated them with a passion. Since birth. Then we used to play around with him... and would hold the hats on is head. One day, he just accepted it. Now hats don't seem to bother him at all. He's like a different child.
Tania: any luck house hunting? bummer about the house you offered on. And what costume did you get? We have a party at the end of the month... and have to go dressed as something starting with "M". Anyone got any ideas??????
Beck: Good to hear from you. Hope Jovi's feeling better. I'm not sure how much Shaun weighs. At 12 month check up he wasn't quite 10kg then. So he's wouldn't be 12kg now. Good luck with the new job.
Shazz: have you taken those bathroom photos yet? I love seeing reno's. We will have three bathrooms to renovate! Not looking forward to that.
Kim: woohoo on Darcy letting you sleep in!
Christine: glad you had a nice weekend away. Hehe with the sand.
Elissa: how cute with the lawnmower!
Sara: good to hear from you. sorry to hear about the feeding dramas... hopefully it will settle down. As kim says; try and persist with the bf'ing. But don't beat yourself up if you need to go onto formula eventually. Hopefully the Dr will be able to give you some advice. How cool about the horse! Gosh, most little girls only dream about horses!
Sheree: Thanks for sharing your story with us. I'm not much of an emotional person - but you are a special friend, and I feel so much for you. Must be hard having the curette without Wade. But he is there for you. As we all are. :hugs:
