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.

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!

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.

[Beach Mama]

Dan - feeling for you hun.

Sangie - thanks hun!

Ash - glad Blake in on the mend and for a new couch!

Nothing different to report here other than Izzy was up til 9 (she has gone down like clockwork since birth at 7) then was up from 1230 til nearly 3 crying and basically inconsolable. Thing is I'd be happy to cuddle her and rock her back to sleep but she sits at the top of my tummy and it KILLS, if I sit with her in my feeding chair in her room - same thing, 9kgs isn't that big but on top of a pregnant belly with muscle issues it's a no-go zone, so poor DH had to get up and he is doing 12 hour shifts right now. Off to the Dr today to make sure it isn't her ears again, and just to find out if there is something else I can do.
Back later - am home all day today doing reports again - to you all.

[Shellbelle]

Dan I really hope your body is just tricking and AF doesn't show. Get stuck into the choccie

Lulu, you can only do what you can do, and I am sure you are doing a great job!!! Your girls know you love them, and will come to understand that they have to share you!!! Think you need a also!

Tan, really is the time for lack of sleep hey. Angus is the same, and is inconsolable at times also. He wants to stand up and be rocked WTF where did that come from!!!! Good luck, hope you get some sleep soon and Izzy gets back to her old self.

Ash - Glad to hear Blakey is recovering now! Yes Angus loves the ark, and the blocks are fun to throw at his sisters he thinks Yay on the lounge!

I know I have missed others, but to you all!!

Well, my detox and massage was wonderful last night! I was there for almost 3 hrs of child free peaceful time! Magic! But now, I have a house to clean, washing to catch up on, and bags to pack for the weekend!! We are going camping for the long weekend, and the kids are very excited, I just want to sit and read and do nothing!!! I start back on normal shifts next week, so want to enjoy my last days at home with all the kids!!!

Take care xx

Another quick selfish one from me. My sh*tty day yesterday was capped off beautifully - my poor old gran passed away last night. Thankfully she was full of morphine so she was comfortable and her passing was peaceful. Its a good thing in that she was old, sick and in pain but still very sad. I'm very glad she got to meet her two beautiful great granddaughters - Izzy was about the only thing that has given her any joy in the past 12 months.
