Hi girls!

Just popping in quickly for an update on us.

Still have'nt found a place for us. Its really starting to get me down cause I can't possibly keep shifting the girls around all the time.

Things started to look up the other day when I was finally found 2 places with a Family Day Care mum. Then they kicked me in the guts by calling back and saying they had to give 1 of my places to a "top priority" mum who'd just moved SUBURBS!!! To so I was angry is an understatement. I just cried. Nothing seems to going the way I need it to.

Thanks for all Colby birthday wishes. We did'nt do much. Just a bbq with some family. She got some nice gifts though. My mum brought her a trampoline which Briley just loves to bits.

The girls are doing well. Colby is'nt really saying much but Briley says enough for the both of them. You can have a full on conversation with Briley now. They are really interacting with one another now. Colby can finally get back at Briley if Briley is being too rough or mean. She normally just pulls Briley's hair! Gotta love girls!!!

I am on the road to recovery. I have been really sick the last couple of weeks. I had a chest infection at first but was still feeling crap. I went back to the Dr's on monday and they reckon a sinus infection now. The cough is the worst. I am embarassed to say that I had to constantly wear tena pads for my incontience from coughing so bad. I think that got me down the most. A 24 year old woman is not mean to pee herself.

Quick attempt a personals....

Kim - Nice to see you are almost in the 2'nd trimester! How are you feeling hun?

Shazz - How are your studies going? We have just got back to uni. I thought the sciences subjects where over but now where are starting another 1! So not looking forward to it!

Sheree - Sorry to hear little Riley is not well. I hope the murmur is something he just grows out of. Are you guys still running the Newsagency?

Nat - Great to hear from you hun. So glad to hear that you finally found the right man for you. Glad to hear that Em is doing well. Stay in touch now!

Leanne - Are you actively TTC #2???? Fingers crossed you get your BFP soon!

Elissa - Good luck with cutting back on your meds hun. How's the TTC going for you?

Christine - How are you going hun? Fingers crossed your Riley does'nt have any issues with his heart either!

Hi to everyone else. Sorry if I missed anyone.

Well I had better head off. I just found out that I have a Module Assignment already late! Not a good start to the Semester!

I will be back in soonish.

Take Care and Love to you all!

Big hugs to you Sara. things have to start going right for you soon.

Yes we stillll have the Newsagency lol.

[widdly]

leanne - that is so great that your weaning off the meds is going so smoothly for you, i will remember the fish oil for when i wean, i ust had a little panic about the meds cause i read some stupid stuff on the net, i am over it now and am happy to stay on them for now. Thanks so much for your support and remember that we are all here for you as well. Bummer about losing your assigment! LOL at Katy, what a little character!

sara - great to hear from you, i wish you had better news though you poor bugger. Hope you get well very soon. How awful about the family day care lady giving one of your spots away, she obviously has no idea what its like to be a single mum. LOL at the girls fighting, pulling hair is always a winner, Colby is a smart little girl! Sorry, had to giggle at the incontinence pads, don't worry you aren't the only one who has to wear them, i haven't had to wear them yet, but i have had to change my knickers a few times, im sure once i have another bub i will have some wee issues! Oh the joys of motherhood. Hope things start looking up for you and the girls soon x Thanks for asking, just started TTC today, we are both very clucky and excited!

TTC starts as of today, i can't believe how clucky Jay has gotten, he is always coming home with stories about gorgeous babies he has seen at work, yesterday he met the obsterician that i will be going to and has my pregnancy and birth all planned! Just hope it happens for us again, fingers crossed. Bought a new dining suite yesterday, took me 3 hours to assemble the table and 3 of the chairs, still 3 chairs to go! Archie is eating a lot better already though now that he can sit up at the table and feed himself properly.

[shereejoy]

Wow how exciting Elissa ttc#2. I hope and pray all goes smoothly for you. I am soooo excited for you.

[shereejoy]

Hey gals.

I have major pains in my tummy and knew I would then spend quite of bit of time on the loo.

Something has upset me and I am not sure what.

I had a museli bar for brekky, a toasted sandwich for morning tea with a decaff coffee, and then spaghetti on toast for lunch.

I am sure it something I ate as I do have a sensitive gut.

Do you think if I am feeling horrible from whatever it was, that this would go thru my breast milk. I sooo don't want Riley feeling this way. I feel awful!

[mrsmac]

No it shouldn't Sheree,

[widdly]

sheree - sorry you are feeling yuck, hope its gone by the morning, im pretty sure that Riley won't be affected through your milk, if anything your milk will give him immunity to the bug if it happens to be a bug thats making you feel off. Thanks so much for being excited for me, it means a lot, we are actually more excited this time around than we were with Archie, i think its cause we know what we are in for this time.

I can't believe it, we actually have agreed on a boys name! I ereally Patrick but DH was unsure, he called me from work this arvo to tell me that he wanted to call a boy Patrick Joseph, both names i picked, woohoo!

[shereejoy]

Agggh cool Elissa that is a lovely name. What about a girls name?


No it def wasn't a bug and something I ate, not sure what thou.... Maybe the toasted sandwich as I got it from the local cafe here.... hmmm.... doesn't make sense that it was that thou.

But when food doesn't agree with me, once I pass it I am fine, but that is after several dashes to the loo with terrible cramping belly.

All good now and appears riley was not affected.

Well I have been having a good run with Riley. Just so desperate for a routine this time round, trying to juggle the two boys and the business stuff.

So this is what he has done for the past 3-4 days.

1st night - Bath 5.45pm, Feed 6.30pm, Fought from 7pm till 11pm to get him to sleep then he slept till 4.40am

2nd night - Bath 5.45pm, Feed 6.30pm, Fought from 7pm till 9.30pm to get him to sleep then he slept till 4am

3rd night - Bath 5.45pm, Feed 6.30pm, Asleep by 7.20pm (then gave dreamfeed at 9.45pm) and he slept till 2am and then back to sleep at 2.30am and slept till 7.30am.

4th night (THIS IS TONIGHT) - Bath 5pm, Feed 6.30pm, Asleep by 7.30pm

For a seven week old he is really doing so well, only waking once thru the night really. Lachlan was up every 1-2 hours when he was a bub, didn't like sleep!!! So glad we are having a good run this time.

[shereejoy]

Oh and Lachlan has slept thru 2 nights in a row now. Whahooo....

We feel so refreshed atm!

[shereejoy]

but just came into brag.....

My boy slept thru till 5am this morning.

My routine last night was 5pm Bath, 6.30pm Feed, 7.30pm Asleep, 10pm Dreamfeed, and then he slept till 5am. Whahoo.....

We heard him start to cry at 2am, and I said to Wade, ohhh 2am seems to be his time to wake!! And then Wade said just let him go for a minute and we will see if we have to go and get him. Sure enuf it was only a few little cries and then we never heard him again until 5am.

So I guess that is 7 hours from 10pm or 9.5 hours from 7.30pm.

Gosh I can't believe it. Sleeping thru at 7 weeks old. Well we will see, 2nite is different night!

Feels promising though, you never know!

[widdly]

sheree - WOW!! Sleeping thru at 7 weeks, and Lachlan sleeping through too....hmmmmm.....are you drugging your children??? LOL, i hope it continues for you thats great!! Our girls name is Jessie Christine, unless my sister has a boy and calls him Jesse, then we are back to the drawing board..

Went to the Mount for the day today, spent 4.5 hours with a friend and her little boy at the play cafe! Half an hour from home and Archie starts screaming in pain, saying that his back hurts, it was awful he was hysterical all the way home and i couldn't cuddle him cause i was driving, he is in bed asleep now, think he was just really worn out from the cafe and maybe hurt his back whilst on the jumping castle.

[shereejoy]

Hehe sometimes you wish you could drug them haha, but you would never!

Lachlan actually didn't sleep thru last night though! Ohhhh well......


Hope Archies back is better soon. Love the name Jessie btw.

[widdly]

bl00dy stupid brain ive got!!! GRRRRRRR!!! So this morning i woke at 5:30 and had awful anxiety to the point where i really thought i was going to vomit, i had to get out of bed and busy myself to try and get my mind on other things. I had the worst stomach cramps ever til 8:30, i know for sure it is anxiety and not a bug of some sort, and its all cause we are ttc again!! This is what happened the last 3 times we have tried to ttc! I thought that now with the antidepressants and me feeling so good in myself and Archie being so much older that i would be fine....but no, i am just so frustrated that my brain does this to me. So maybe Arch will be an only child afterall, that doesn't bother me though but another bub would have ben pretty good too. Will leave it a few years and see how i am, but i don't think im ever gonna be able to do it now. Enough whingeing from me now, sorry to have such a downer post, i am actually feeling really quite good mentally about the whole thing but my body is exhausted!

Had heaps of fun with Archie this morning playing crash the cars, he builds us each a car out of Duplo then we continually crash them and he fixes them, oh he is such a boy LOL!

[~Kim~]

Oh ELissa.... are you going to stay off the pill and just go for it rather than TTC....never know your luck in the big city mate.

Wow Sheree, sounds pretty good to me. Darcy's still stuggling.

Sara, sweetheart.

Shazz, biology isn't that bad. No bragging but I got HDs years ago and tutored for a couple of years. Give me a hoi if i can help.

Christine, Tania, Leanne, Nat

Stuggling a bit today. Had a freak last week as the AND felt like it was coming back, anxious thoughts to the max, terrible mood swings, but what scared me the most was that I actually had to walk outside as a little voice in there wasn't being very tolerant towards Darcy. I had to ring my mum and get her to calm me down. I couldn't ring Cam because he was at work and I didn't want him to come home and panic - I couldn't cope with that as well.
Then I went away to a meeting for a few days and I'm as right as rain now.

Compunding it is a really really nasty case of sciatica - I can hardly walk, let alone do anything remotely normal. I am so frustrated and I've cried four times today already from the pain. The only thing that helps is sitting very very still.....not great with the cyclone and the angry man around...

On the up side, my sister who has been is hossy all week with pre-ecclampsia had her waters break at home this am, so should have a new neice/nephew sometime soon.

[mrsmac]

Does that mean you'll be in Sydney soon Kim?????????

[~Kim~]

Yep, but only for a flying visit next weekend.
I have my scan at 9.30am on the Friday, drive to SYdney, tell the ILs we're having another baby Friday night, Saturday spend with my sister and family, 30th Saturday night, home Sunday.

[~shazz~]

Elissa matey try to be kind to yourself like kim said you just never know your luck take one day at a time and what will be will be your a fantastic mum and you'll be even greater the next time round believe in yourself
kim woot a new bubba in the family how wonderful and i so feel for you with the darn sciatica mine never really has got over over being pg
