Hi everyone, hope you are all coping with all the sick bubbas!!!
Hate to say it Lis, but Angus always sleeps more when he is getting sick, I hope it is not the case for Elena....

Lulu, good one with the bunnings trip!!! My Dh seriously lacks action in the bed dept, but I am always so tired from these kiddies I am rarely in the mood!!! I want sleep more Poor Dh!!

Tan, How is Izzy now? Is she having plenty of fluids? How bout you, are you Ok!!?? Hope you got your reports done. We just got ours and I am off to see the teacher for parent interviews later in the week!!

Sarah - so glad the little bubba is growing away nicely (in the right spot!) Must have been reassuring to see him/her!!

Kass - how are things babe

Dan - have all my fingers and toes crossed for you!!!! When you testing??

D - have everything crossed for you also!!! I am so jealous of you girls ttc!!!

Ash - How is Blakey recovering? Got KK pressie, thanks, Angus loves it

to anyone else I missed!!!

Well, Angus seems to be a bit better, finally! He has not had a temp since he started on the ab's, so maybe I was wrong when I thought it was his teeth who knows. His urine test has come back ok. I am also on antibitotics for chest and sinus infection, so maybe he had the same sort of thing. they couldn't examine him prop cause he was screaming, so maybe it was that!!
I am officially back to normal shifts at work, not all nights, so will be a big test for my little man!! I am also thinking of doing my midwifery, so another challenge for me!! I am working 3 days next week, so will have to try to be organised!!! Am finding it so hard to keep up woith the housework (Being addicted to BB doesnt help )

Anyway, the kids are having an iceblock for dessert, so I better move my big butt and clear up the dishes!! My other challenge is to lose 15kgs, am off to the gym for a looksie tomorrow!! ALso going for a massage and detox tomorrow night!!! This week is starting off way better than the last few weeks, thats for sure!!!

Take care everyone!!! Mwah xx

[Shellbelle]

I hope everyone is surviving the winter bugs - it is so quiet in here!!!

Well, we are all well and truly on the mend. Angus has been 100% on last week, he has popped through a tooth down the bottom and 1/2 a molar!! It is just poking through.

I am treating myself tonight, told DH to get his butt home early cause I am off for a detox and massage!! Yay It is a voucher from my birthday (6 mths ago!!!), and is due to expire so I thought I might as well go!! I am so excited at the thought of some pampering! It is like a 90min massage too which will be bewdiful!! Dh might even get a special thanks when I get home

It sure is quiet in here at the moment isn't it? We are all on the mend too. I'm so scared to admit it but none of us are sick (hope i haven't jinxed us now, LOL). Livvy is cruising around the house now and it is just so damn cute. Her poor little legs can't keep up with the speed she wants to go. It's so funny to watch. She's also getting more and more cheeky. In the bath when she's had enough she pulls the plug out and sits on it so we can't put it back in and make her stay in there.
Unforntualey (sp?) even after cutting down her bottles her eating still hasn't improved. I think she is just going to be a fussy eater which is apparantely exactly what I was.
As for the TWW, AF is due on Saturday so I'm going to test with FMU on saturday but to be honest I really don't have a positive feeling about it. I'm thinking I'll see be TTC in July. Trying to be positive and be happy that I O'ed.
Hope everyone is really well and I'll be back soon to catch up.
Luv Dan and the cheeky princess.

Dan - I'm so relieved to hear you say Livvy is a bad eater too (IYKWIM - not wishing anyone else problems!!) Izzy is the same. She started off being so brilliant and now she is eating almost nothing and hasn't for so long now. She is literally surviving on 3 bottles a day and that's it. Still crossing everything for you for this month, but will keep it all crossed for you next month if I need to!

Shell - enjoy that massage. I'm very, very, very, very, very jealous! Yay for Angus being better.

Hi to everyone else. Had a very teary day today. Elena has refused to settle all day and Izzy has been very clingy. One mummy, two needy babies and it has to end in tears- mostly mine! Days like today make me remember why I was so negative about having a second baby so soon.

[Beach Mama]

Quick one here I'm a bit tired and just over it. Izzy is still sick - temp last night, snotty nose, and today pulling at her ear so I have made an appointment for the Dr tomorrow in case it is another ear infection. She was up from 230- 430 last night and ended up asleep in bed with us again. I was at work today, pretty tired but I have been feeling fine all day considering, then at the end of the day I had to practically RUN to the toilet because I had the runs for the 2nd time today. (sorry TMI) WTF is going on. This is really starting to get to me and I wonder if we will have even a few days of everyone in this house feeling well again.
Lulu - days like today make me wonder what the hell I'm gonna do with another gorgeous but needy bubby in my life and how far I will be able to stretch myself.
Glad to hear lots of you are on the mend!!! Hope it stays that way - bring on summer I say. Freaking cr@ppy, foggy weather is annoying me too.
Sorry about the self-absorbed *****ty post everyone, will be back for personals later.

Morning girls,
A real selfish one here. I'm one sad little girl today . I just have to wait for AF to show her face now. My temp is dropping, FF has taken away my tripasic implanation chart, all pg symptoms have vanished, another BFN, my CM is drying up and I've got my pre-AF breakout. I know i'm technically not out until AF shows up but it really is just a matter of time so I'm a little bit teary this morning.
To top it off we had a nightmare of a night with Livvy which started in the afternoon. She refused to go down for her afternoon sleep so she fall asleep on Dave at 6pm last night and woke up at 7pm. Dave got her up and put her in her pj's and tried to resettle her after a little while and her bottle. Well she hysterically screamed and squealed the house down until I caved and got her up at 11pm and cuddled her to sleep. She then woke every half an hour until 2.30am. I'm so tired and emotional today .

Is it too early for comfortable chocolate??

Hope everone else is having a better day than me. Chat soon lovely ladies and gorgeous little ones,
Dan.

Ok Lulu, Tan and Dan it sounds like one of these is in order

Tan I don't blame you for being s****ty hun, you guys are having such a bad run atm.......praying that you all feel much better soon.

Lulu you are bound to have crappy days but the good days with your princesses will make it all worth it hun! Chin up, you are doing a great job

Dan I'm sorry hun I know all too well how it feels and I wish I could make it a BFP for you................never too early for chocolate I hope Livvy is ok, teething???

Shell how was the massage? I'm so jealous lol!

Well Ellie has been quite unsettled too and I thought maybe she was getting sick but now I think its just teething as yesterday she had the reddest little cheeks and constantly had fingers in mouth and being so clingy. So I hope that's all it is as she won't let me look in her mouth without screaming!

[Ashlee]

Hey all

Lulu-Sweetie no matter what you say you're doing a fantastic job with 2 babies; You deserve to be emotional at times and feel overwhelmed, hell I get like that still to this day with ONE FREAKIN BABY! Go eat some chocolate, and have a bath whilst your other half watches the girls. Anytime alone must be heaven to you at this point in time.

Tan-Don't you start doubting yourself, you will be a great mum of 2. You already seem to be so good with Izzy, with your BFing, homemade food etc, I wish I was as good of a mummy as you!

Dan-Chin up, it's not over till it's over they say! I had all my pre-AF symptoms and low and behold I got a BFP with Blakey. If I don't Danni will make you test (she made me test and bam lol).

Shell-Massage? Major jealous!!! I hope Angus liked his Ark, Blake has one and loves it, he likes to chuck the blocks around moreso than the ark and I figure if you already had some peek a blocks more wouldn't go astray.

Lis-Teething is so bad. Blake's cut his 2 bottom molars and is now cutting his top 2, they are causing him massive grief the poor bugger. I'm just slathering him with bonjella and giving him frozen bananas.

Danni-Everything is crossed for you honey, you know how much I loves ya and a new addition would be fabulous, Blakey will have 2 brothers from other mothers!

Blake is finally starting to get back to normal after his op - he is starting to have his normal 1-2 naps a day instead of 4 or 5, and is waking only once or twice over night and easily resettling. I'm already starting to notice the difference in him, and now he can hear properly I don't think it'll be too long before I start getting more words and understanding from him

I finally got a couch on the weekend, it's brown suede and is sooooo comfy! I've been at Dave's most of the time so I've only sat on it once but shhh hehe.

Not much else to report, fingers crossed all the sickness gets out of everyone's systems early so we can enjoy the snuggliness of winter.
