Hey Tan
I'm interested in doing the birthday KK
Chat soon to everyone

[LuluHB]

Oh sorry Shell. Still, good news is that you can have a bit more time to enjoy Angus before having to take on another little poppet and who knows, maybe you'll even get some time to yourself in there!

[Beach Mama]

Aw Shell - hope you are ok hun...even though it was unexpected you still have that tiny bit of hope sometimes....
Ive updated the list now - so Im just waiting to see if Ash would like to join in, if anyone has contact with her could you check please! I know she hasn't been around here for a while. As for the ones that haven't been on for ages, I think I will finalise the names etc by the 4th April- how does that sound? That will give us all enough time won't it?????

Ok Im off - I have my NT scan today - wish me luck, Im so d!mn nervous it is ridiculous really.
Will let you all know how we go.

[Shellbelle]

Good Luck tan for today! Fingers crossed all is great and you see your little bubba dancing away!!! I think 4th April is fair, that is still a week so sounds good!

Yeah, I was nervous but hopeful that I would geta bfp. Oh well, we wern't really ready for another but would have been nice!!! BBL to see how you went!!

And yes Lulu, Angus is still such a little bubba I think It will be nice to keep hium my baby for a little bit longer!!

[sangie]

Shell I'm sorry hun, I was secretly hoping for bfp for you too! But Lulu is 100% right lol! A new addition to your family will happen when the time is right!

Tan best of luck today hun, can't wait to hear all about it. OMG I can't believe you are 12 weeks already, where does the time go!!! I'll send Ash a txt if you like and ask her if she is interested in kk????

Anyway better get back to work, ciao yummy mummies!

[LuluHB]

Shell - I know that feeling of secretly wanting a positive. Bit of a difference in timing now, but when I did my test I sat there waiting the 2 minutes or whatever hinking I'd be a bit disappointed if it wasn't positive because I really didn't think I could possibly be pregnant so soon. I can honestly say when it came up positive the first thing I did was say a naughty word and then burst into tears - not much happiness after all! So much for statistics hey - I'm nearly 38 and DH 37 so fertility should be a serious issue, we DTD TWICE!!!, I was still full time breastfeeding/expressing and STILL I fell pregnant. I know I should be so grateful to be having another baby given I've had 3 losses but I still can't hang on to the fleeting feelings of excitement I'm occasionally getting about Ned. I just want more time with Izzy and to be honest, I want something of a life for myself. I'm more than a little scared that once Ned is born I won't get any time for myself at all. I've also been pregnant for 20 of the last 24 months and I'm so over it - I want my body back and I want to feel comfortable and wear normal clothes, eat a cold ham and brie sandwich and God forbid have half a glass of wine!!

Tan - first things first, ignore everything I've said to Shell!!!! Good luck with your scan today. Can't wait to hear back from you that everything is perfect and your bubby is growing beautifully.

[Beach Mama]

No probs Lulu! Heehee I understand hun - I laughed for 30 mins when we found out then promptly cried because I wasn't ready and wanted my body to myself for a while etc... But I have to say after see our little gumnut during the scan today I got really excited and it made it more real!

So the u/s went GREAT! My risk for ds is very low and he is really happy with how bubby is growing - it was so cute waving its arms and legs around, I had a little cry on the table and my sister is like - wow you get really stressed don't you and Im like - YEP!!!! Stress head me - always thinks the worse! Heartbeat was 167 bpm and is currently measuring 6.05cm So crusing along nicely! I feel like I can finally get a bit excited and be really happy but I'm sure that will come even moreso from about 14 weeks I think!!

Thanks everyone for all your support too! Crazy pregnancy hormones!

If there are any last minute latecomers I will work something out but will be pm'ing or emailing you all tomorrow night when Im not on broadband like I am today and when Al is home to do it for me!

Going to check out the Mercy today - I think that is where I will end up going as it will give me my best chance of a VBAC - saw my gf yesterday who had her VBAC bubby there 4 weeks ago and she said they were brilliant!

Catch you all soon lovely ones!

[Shellbelle]

Ash, don't get me started about fishing!!! We have just brought a boat, and it is my DH's new baby!! We went out last weekend, then he spent the Sunday cleaning. polishing and touching up the paint!!!obsessed is an understatement!!! We are looking at jobs all over, thought mainly NT and WA as they have the most mining potential jobs. I think a change is as good as a holiday and would be good for the kids while they are young. We would not sell our house here though cause this will always be home. Sorry southern guys but QLD really is awesome and I couldn't imagine home being anywhere else!!!!

Tan, sounds like you are keen for that vbac!! Good luck at the hosp, I hope they are supportive of your decision!! The list looks great - can't wait to start shopping!!! Are we all just going to pm you our addresses and stuff?? Can't wait!!

Anyway, just Angus and I at home today so am going to take advantage of it and try and have a nap!!! I am exhausted!! Had a huge weekend and need to catch up on some zzzzz's and housework at some stage!! have a nice day everyone!!!

[Beach Mama]

BIRTHDAY STUFF!

Hey Shell- VERY keen for a VBAC - I seriously think if I have another c/s I will need some major counselling Im that worried about it - just the thought of it makes me feel ill!
Ah well hopefully this bubby will co-operate and come out on time and in time and it won't be an issue!

Didn't think about addresses etc I think Im going to have to know who is buying for Izzy because DH won't cope with organising all of this! Ah well doesn't matter!
If everyone could pm me or email your address that would be great so that when I email you tomorrow night I can include addresses.
Also if anyone has preferences for gifts let me know too so I can let your KK person know.If you prefer me to email PM your email addy instead!
Cheers and I will be on and off today - bl@@dy dial up is driving me nuts - thank goodness its the 1st of the mth tomorrow!

[Shellbelle]

Think positive thoughts Tan and I'm sure you will get that vbac!!!! I don't think my DH would cope organising kk either! I have PM'd you also. Thanks for organising this too - can tell you are a teacher!!!!

[LoveKnowsNoBounds]

Hello,
It looks like I just got in at the last minute! Julian would love to join the KK. He is on the 24th April. It's no surprise we were forgotten I haven't been on here for awhile I can't believe our little bubba's are turning one. The year flew by so fast!

It's great to hear how all of the bubba's are progressing. We are doing well. Though changing Julian has become a monumental task of wriggling and screaming and it has become my least favourite task. He tears around the place and I am thinking of getting a playpen for my sanity. Has it worked for anyone else? I've started organising his 1st birthday which will be at home, somehow squeezing everyone in. Hopefully it is good weather and some people can hang outside. We both have big families and not inviting people can get very political!

Lulu - wow, you are so close to the end! It must be frustrating with everyone telling you not to bother with Izzy's party, of course you would want to do it.

Kristen - the photos look awesome. You have such a great talent. I wish you were around me and I'd do it for sure!

Tan - great to hear your u/s went well. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Sarah - glad to hear Noah is sleeping better for you. It makes such a difference doesn't it.

Hi to everyone else

[LoveKnowsNoBounds]

I may have missed out after all! I wasn't quick enough with my reply. No worries, I'll join in next time.

[Beach Mama]

Hey Kelly! Of course we remember you hun! So glad to hear that you are doing well and thanks for popping in to say hi!!! Can you believe these bubs are nearly 1!! Eeekkkk!

We have had a busy weekend BUT the big news is DH and I are sitting here ON OUR OWN!!!! Izzy stayed at mums last night - I called her at 8 and she said that Izzy slept from 7 when DH and I put her to bed and slept til 730 old time (daylight savings old time!!! ) So 630 which is great, not one stir throughout the night!! She is having a nap at the moment so we will go pick her up at 11! Its been nice but I have to say I miss her terribly and its so quiet! Both of us jumped when DH turned the channel on the radio over last night and looked to see if Iz had woken up ! and then laughed at ourselves! The gig we went to was great but we didn't really stay out too late because we were both tired and we both woke up early too - typical!

Anyway Im off to try and design these invites for Izzy's birthday- have a lovely day ladies and bubs and will catch you soon!

[Beach Mama]

No worries Jan!!! Could you PM me your address please!!?
Glad to hear Julian is doing so well!!!

We are starting to plan Izzy's birthday too - I can't believe it - I told DH today, our little girl is ONE next month! Not in 6 mths not 3 mths but next month and we both had a giggle!

ETA- Have pm'd you Jan - not too late at all!

[Shellbelle]

Thanx Tan - now to go shopping!!!
