i have emailed you leanne

[~shazz~]

oh forgot why i came on Ryan's stats for 18months

height 79.5 cm
weight 11.3 kg
HC 47.5 cm

and he didn't even whimper or nothing when getting his needle Dam it ... lol only time DAddy has come and daddy was holding him and he didn't make a sound or nothing i haven't live it down yet i made such a song and dance about him having to be there ok i'm outta here

[widdly]

shazz - its great that Ryan handled the needle so well, not so great for you DH though.....Archie is getting his 18 month check this afternoon so i'll compare stats later

Oh my.....what am i going to do to try and control my little terror......he is so incredibly strong willed and stubborn (exactly like his Dad) everything i have tried has resulted in him (a)laughing (b) giving me a hug and saying "mummy" (he knows just what buttons to press and when)(c)ripping my hair out (d) tantrum (e) all of the above.

Anyone have any ideas, my thoughts were that if we were consistent enough with "punishment/consequences" he would learn fairly quickly how to behave, not this extremely persistant kid, when we tried to put him in a big bed he kept coming out of the bedroom for 3 hours before i finally locked him in there.....aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh, i didn't ask for a kid like this!!!!!!

Please tell me you all know the miracle answer to this

[~Leanne~]

Elissa I really don't know what you can do.

Persistence???

Back to work - will be on tonight.
Hi everyone.

[shereejoy]

Well I have been grumpy as hell and miserable and now I know why!

I did a test at 2pm this afternoon - OMG I am shocked! Really didn't think we were this month (maybe that was the hormones taking over) and I was seriously considering not trying next month. I have conceived 2nd cycle for two pregnancies now on Vitex. Unheard of with me, took me 5 months with Lachlan and that was with temping and charting.

Hope this one was meant to be, cause I have been crying ever since I found out! Just am so scared of this rollercoaster ride again.

I am due 3rd July, but have a feeling it is actually a few days before this as I ovulated cd12 and normally ovulate cd16. I have a scan in 2 weeks time and going to try and get some hcg levels done tomorrow.

I had a ceasar last time as Lachlan was breach, and was hoping for a VBAC last pregnancy that ended in m/c, but I think i am a bit over all that now, so will just see what happens seeing as we live so remotely. So 70% chance of caesar and that will be the end of June 2008.

I have been terribly tired since yesterday, but had a huge day though and drinking so many milo drinks - SOOOO NOT GOOD! I def don't want to put on 26kgs this time round.

Hope everyone else is well?

[Lea13]

OMG Sheree that is fantastic news. I am so so happy for you!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am sending you all of my best wishes!!

[~shazz~]

sheree ~ omg Hun congrats sending all the sticky vibes i can find

[Ilithyia]

OMG CONGRATULATIONS SHEREE!!!!

I am so happy for you hun!! Stick little one stick!! I'm even more happy that your little one is due on MY BIRTHDAY!!!! Oh what a lovely b'day pressie that would be!!! If you want too use a Doula...I AM YOUR GIRL!!!! I will drive all the way down there just for YOU Sheree!

Well Colby has been full-on today. She has slept for just over an hour all day. And now she won't even go down. I have just left her in the bassinette to settle herself tonight. I have been in and fed her twice but she just wants to lay there and comfort suck. Thank-god Brent was home to take care of Briley.

Shazz - WOW! Ryan is smaller than Briley. How tall are you and your DH??? I thought he would be a big boy!! Good to see that he is growing well though. I still can't believe he is 18 months already! It only feels like last week that we were all having our babies!

Elissa - I just leave Briley to chuck her tanties. Her newest thing is biting herself while she is chucking one. I don't like it when she does that though. Its kinda scary. Like she wants to hurt herself or something. :-(

Hi to everyone else!

Well i am buggered girls. Forgot to take my iron tablet lastnight and i am starting to slow down now!

Off to bed...night!

[~Leanne~]

Sheree congratulations hon. Yeah stick little one stick..... I'll send some prayers up for you.

Well I am having a pretty good week actually. Work is busy busy, and katy rotten nappy rash.

Busy trying to get things organised for Saturday. I am starting to get excited as I have 15 definates now, but also starting to get a little nervous / anxious. I have friends coming from four different 'areas' in my life. I just hope everyone gets on and has a good time. I worry too much eh.

I just painted my nails for the first time in ahh who knows how long, and my nails actually have white bits on them YAY They look good I must say. EXCEPT missy moo was watching me and as soon as I put the bottle away she went and got it. and was trying to undo it. I can only imagine the mess pink nail polish would make so I have put up very high.

We have a couple of new words over here "hot" whenever she walks past the oven or sees a coffee mug. "up" when she wants out of the high chair or car seat. and Yessssss all of the time.

Brings tears to my eyes how fast she is growing.


AND.... tonight ?I put all of her hair in one pig tail at the back. Looked really grown up then...

Anyway, off to beddy byes. Will attempt personal personals one of these days.

Shazz, I send you an email.

[shereejoy]

Thanks ladies am feeling much better then I was this afternoon. Time to absorb it all and get a grip. Still trying not to get too excited though, just need to hold out for 2 more weeks. That would be great Sara but I am not sure I am going to go naturally any more, not as excited as I once was about a VBAC, I think having the m/c and time constraints we have with the Newsagency is somewhat limiting and at the end of the day not sure I can do a natural after a caesar or a natural regardless. So at this stage I just want to go with the flow and see what happens, but I am more confident it will be a caesar again then a natural at this stage.

Atleast I now know why I was so god dam miserable and b*i*t*c*h*y to poor ol Wade.

Hope Colby sleeps for you, sounds like you had a full on day Sara.

Leanne - Yay for pampering yourself. Hope Saturday goes well for you.

Lachlan still isn't talking that much at all.

[widdly]

sheree - OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am crying i am so excited for you, no one deserves it more than you, i am sending all the sticky vibes i can muster straight over to you! i actually jumped out of my chair as i read the BFP icon LOL, i just wanna chuck a party now, anyone got bubbly???!

leanne - thanks, was having one of those stressful i am a hopeless mother who can't 'control' her child days, after the lovely things the MCHN said to me today at the 18 months check i am feling confident in my mothering again, thanks for the attention though. yay for katy's new words, boo for the yucky nappy rash though, wow at her having enough hair to have a big pony tail!!

sara - i really hope Colby decideds to settle for you soon, you must be b@ggered. Thanks for the feedback on tanty's, i was just having one of those days feeling totally out of control, i am back to my cool in control self now thank goodness, not a tanty in sight! Hope you get some sleep tonight

oooo i am still buzzing from sheree's news!

Archie had his 18 month check today, went really well and some really nice comments about my mothering really bought back my confidence which is great. here are his stats, not as big as i thought...

height 83cm
weight 12.96kgs

have found the key to a happy cooperative son, get out of the house and keep him really busy, divet his attention when he is 'naughty', has worked a charm today. Went to the shoe shop and got him properly fitted for his first proper good quality leather boots, so cute, he is size 6, big hoof. Think i will go back and get a pair of sandals too.

Archie has a pretty yucky cough that is mainly at night. has had it for four nights now, tonight he vomitted he coughed that badly, ut the vapouriser in his rooma nd it has enabled him to get to sleep, so fingers crossed, the MCHN told me that Bronchitis is everywhere at the moment.......bet he gets it so we can't go away next weekend, i hope he doesn't get sick, poor little prince.

[shereejoy]

Hehe Elissa on the bubbley. I was hoping I wasn't pregnant this month as I am so desperate for a drink, hows that! Stoopid hey!

So glad the CHN helped your confidence today. Lachlan is in full swing of tanties atm too, so so frustrating, but what can ya do! More then ever he knows what he wants and when he wants it and sometimes has no idea at all. I also feel like pulling my hair out at times. So it is sooo not you ok. Glad you had a better day 2day. Wow at the size 6, lachlan is lucky to be a size 3. Hope Archie doesn't get sick on you, poor little mite.

[Ilithyia]

Morning girls!

I am totally pi**ed at Brent thismorning. Nearly every pay day (which is not till tomorrow mind you) he comes in and wakes me up to ask what the phone number is for the bank so he can ring and see how much he got paid. I had a go at him about it last week cause when he woke me up i was in a deep sleep. So he comes in thismorning, while i was in a deep sleep, and asks me where his key card is. I am out of my deep sleep now and i can hear his trying to type the numbers into the phone for the bank but he stopped. I knew straight away that he had fogotten. So he comes in and taps me on the leg asking for the damn phone number!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR After all that, he has the audasity(sp??) to ge the sh*ts at me for yelling at him for waking me up!!! MEN ARE SOOOO SELFISH SOMETIMES!!!!

So girls....needed to vent!

Sheree - Thats fine Sheree. Whatever you decided i will be here to support you all th way. Just remember that i am here if you do decide you need the support.

Elissa - Yep thats the way to keep the from being "naughty, keep them busy. Works all the time here. Brent's mum usually takes Briely out in the yard for most of the morning but when she brings her back in the tiredness kicks in and i cop it!!! Gosh Archie is a big boy! I will get Briley's stats done when she goes 17 months.

Brent and Briley mowed the lawn on the ride-on yesterday. She had an absolute ball! I got some pics on her in her new farm overalls so i will email a few piccies around later on today. Brent also FINALLY put up her swing in the tree. We had her in it lastnight and she loved it.

Colby did end up settling herself lastnight. I was ready to pull my hair out by the time she did settle but she finally did!

Well i have heaps of things to do today. Better get started!

Hope you are all well...

[widdly]

sheree - thanks i am glad its not just Archie who has turned a little.....evil LOL. yeah he takes after mum and dad, i am size 11 and DH is size 12, poor kid has no hope!

sara - GGRRRR at brent, yep men are strange creatures at times, i would have yelled at him too! Briley must look so cute in her new overalls. so glad Colby eventually settled herself last night.

We had a killer of a night here, i reckon its the worst night we have had since the night he got sent to hospital at 4 months, thought we had gotten past these nights, but oh no, silly naive me. Dont really know what his problem is atm which makes it all the more frustrating of course, his cough seemed to have settled down heaps after a few hours with the vapouriser on. his reflux is still causing some pain and discomfort, he had Panadol and Mylanta for that, and he was rubbing his eyes like crazy last night, though no gunk in them this morning, i think i saw a big lump on his gum today though, so that culd explain a bit. he just screamed and screamed then finally at 4am i put him in bed with us and he went straight to sleep, not like him, he usually plays if we put him in our bed. Wish i had of thought of it sooner! Took lots of screaming, panadol and hugs and kissses to get him to slep today too.....

i have identified lack of sleep as a trigger for my anxiety, had to run out of Woolies today and leve all my groceries on the checkout so i could run to the toilets!! how embarrassing, then had to leave the chemist before the script was ready cause i was starting to have an anxiety attack......there's always a drama isn't there?!

[Jodie259]

I'm just sticking my head in to say hi..

And i noticed some 'congrats sheree..." so I've gone back a page to read 'what for"... and OMG !!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck sweetie!!!!!!!! I really hope everything works out for you. It's such great news. And you deserve good things.

Now... appologies to everyone for (1) being MIA, and (2) no personals again.

I had a quick MSN chat with Sara today, and realised how much I've been missing. But I barely have time to scratch myself at the moment.

* I still only have half a kitchen. I finally have a benchtop & cabinets & a sink... but some cabinets don't have doors. And I've got no flooring, and the lighting needs doing, and splashbacks around the entire room. God knows when it will get finished.

* The settlement of the salon is meant to be on Thursday 1st November... but the sales contract is still not prepared. There were hassles getting hold of my lease (which I got one 9 years ago - and the RE was meant to issue new ones everytime I exercised an option - but they didn't! So they had to prepare 2 leases for the last 6 years - idiots!!!) Both the new owner & myself are so worried that it wont get organised in time - although we've started changing names of things like utilities etc. I just hope it doesn't get dragged out to near birth time! I feel like I've got a phone permanantly stuck to my ear - between solicitor, RE, accountant, the new owner, and all the suppliers.... I'll be so glad when it's over.
* I'm living out of boxes at home... because I just don't have time or energy to unpack everything. All my clothes are still in boxes!!
* pregnancy is going well. I'm huge. I saw the ob last week and he said "another big baby". I'm open to having a VBAC if baby decides to come earlier then the scheduled c/s date of the 26/11... but not sure if I'm keen on popping out a 9+ pounder. Sara eased my fears a little today when she told me about Colby (thanks)
* I just realised today that I'll be giving birth in 4.5 weeks.... and Yariv's mum is coming from Israel in 3.5 weeks!!!!!!! Aaahhhh.... where is the time going?
* Shaun has been going through a bit of hell lately. He's cutting two molars at the same time (first molars)... and he got gastro from the day care centre last week. In fact, most of the centre (kids & staff) got it... and they closed it down for the first time in 30 years!! He's done some wonderful projectile vomits!
* my computer is still sitting on a buffet in the living room! and I'm sitting (uncomfortably) on a dining room chair. Yariv has recently wired up the house... so I've got to move the computer, printer etc into my office.. and sit on a real chair!

... Shaun has just woken up.

hope you are all well. I'm sorry that I've not been keeping up with the news...
i'm so tired, and stressed. i just want the salon sold, the house clean & to get some sleep...
But I think I'll be flat out right up until baby is born... then I'll get 3-4 days to "relax" in hospital and then have to deal with two children (no more sleep for me!).

mwa to everyone!

I'll be back... just not for a little while. Thinking about you all.

[~Kim~]

Oh Bum Leanne, Cam's not here to sign a cheque....I have Ing accounts and I direct deposit into them....

Wo Sheree! Congratulations! whoo I can understand why you're a bit nervous though. Hang in there. I'm hoping upon hope that this is a sticker.

Man Jodie, that's too much for a heavily pregnant woman!

Hi Shazz and Elissa and Christine!

Don't the days just rush by when you're on your own? By the time we get home from work it's time for dinner/bath bed. I've had another bout of gastro and now got tonsillitis so I never feel like staying up after Darcy anyways.

I can't seem to extract Darcy from Cam's dogtags today. She's worn them everywhere. Her conjunctivits is pretty how ya going, but not bad enough that they won't take her at cc. I was ready for them to do that.

Shazz that's pretty much Darcy's stats too. I'd better find a MCHN around here cos I better get her needles done....but then again I'm going home early December. It wouldn't hurt to wait until then would it?
ssssooooo quiet in here.

[shereejoy]

Hi Jodie - nice to hear from you. Gosh not long to go now........ Hope you can relax sometime soon.

Kim - gosh you have had a rough trot, hopefully things settle down for you real soon. That is really surprising about the conjunctivitis, but lucky for you.

Elissa - bugger about your anxiety attacks still. Hope you get that under control soon. You are way too nice to have to suffer like that. You had one of those nights too huh. Lachlan last night was easily settled as usual with his water bottle but gee 7-8 times he woke (I lost count). It is so good we can easily settle him but god forbid if we ever take that off him, but it was the up and down all night and waking and not being able to get back to sleep ourselves. We are both exhausted today.


Do you all like my new ticker. Please, please bubba stick!!! Got my hcg levels done today, hopefully have my results on Monday. Can't wait for my scan in 2 weeks thought. I know people mean well but some peoples comments I really don't take too well. The nurse who took my blood today said if you have a heartbeat at the scan you realise you can loose it!!!!!!!!! Oh der, I have been here before I thought. Even though the recent twins didn't, my first twin pregnancy I had a hb and lost it. And I mean how positive is that! I know they are just trying to prepare me for the worst too, but hey I have had one successful pregnancy, surely I can do it again. Atleast when I have a scan I will now things are progressing in the right direction, better then not having a hb in my eyes. Well for the moment i just have to concentrate on that!

[~shazz~]

Hi all just being norty and using time i don't have on the internet but i had to finalise some ebay stuff and get leannes email so there you go thats my excuses lol but i had to see how you all are so i'll try and pop back on when i can
