I'm so sorry for your loss Lulu
I'm sure she felt truly blessed to have met Izzy and Elena. Thinking of you......

[Liviam]

I just got the best phone call

I'M AN AUNTY

My brother and his wife just had a gorgeous but big boy, James Leslie!!! I'm so excited.

(I feel terrible about this Lulu, sorry. I mean no disrepect to your family's loss.)

[LuluHB]

Oh Dan. Don't be silly. This is what its all about - life and death and that whole circle thing. Huge congratulations to your brother and his wife on their beautiful baby boy's arrival. Is this your first time as an aunty?

Oh, and just for a laugh . . . I just changed Izzy's very pooey nappy. She was wriggling so much I just put a new nappy on her and left her dacks off while I cleaned up. Got back into the family room to find Izzy walking around with her bright orange nappy in her hand and a gynormous puddle of wee on the floor! Fortunately she managed to wee on the wood floor and not on the rug, the leather sofa, a cushion or her baby sister!

Oh Lulu sweety it really is the circle of life hey, we found out thta our gumnut was a boy the day after DH's pa's funeral and it made us realise what life is all about. at Izzy's nappy!!! gotta love floorboards!

Dan - for being an aunty hun! How exciting! Hope they are all well!

Shell - I think 3 ours at a day spa is exactly what I need - sounds divine! but you should have left the cleaning etc til tomorrow and relaxed for the rest of the day!

Well another quick one here again, Izzy has an ear infection again. Seems like she is doomed to get one each time she gets a cold. She is on AB's again and I was just talking to my sister and she was saying her nearly 16 yr old daughter used to get them all the time as a baby too - but the ab's affected her teeth and she now has yellowish lines on them Now Im worried about the effect they will have on her although I know we don't have a choice.
Shell - did you mention probiotics the other day?? Are they worth giving them while on AB's?? What brand do you use???? I hope it was you!
Gotta fly - back later!

Oh forgot to add - was cutting up Kent pumpkin and I don't know what the F happened but my hands are all dry and weird now and even my Body SHop hemp cream isn't working! What is that all about!

[Danni]

lulu: so sorry to hear about your nan

Dan: im so sorry to hear about af. I will hold out for you I promise :hugs:

ash: glad to hear blakey is on the mend

no preg symptoms here anymore. Not feeling confident at all. Although my progesterone test was HUGE at 90. When i was pregnant with mason, was only 30....who fkn knows. i hate ttc

[sangie]

Mabello its not over yet hun until the witch arrives......keeping everything crossed for you. Does the high prog mean that you O'd??

Dan congrats on being an aunty, how exciting! I hope that they are all well.

Tan oh no poor Izzy! Ear infections suck but at least now you know why she has been so upset. I hope that the ABs work quick smart. No idea about the pumpkin, can't say its ever happened to me

Lulu at the wee on the floor! Could have been much worse!

Well since you mentioned wee here is another story lol! Was filling the bath up for Elena tonight and she was standing in the bathroom while I was stripping her - took her nappy off at which point she always squeals (sp?) with excitement cos she knows she is going in the bath soon. Then she walks over to the bath mat and wees on it Sigh, for some reason it is much better to wee on the mat rather than on the tiles

[Sair]

Oh wow it is getting so hard to keep up in here now!

Lulu - So sorry to hear of your loss

Sangie - I would think that it is much easier, you save on mopping lol, just pop the mat in the wash

Danni - It ain't over till it's over girl. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Dan - Congrats on becoming an Auntie! I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Tan - Sorry to hear about Izzy and her ear infections. Have you had a read up on antibiotics and ear infections? It has apparently been proven that they do nothing to help the infection unless it is a certain type ( you can tell I am a medical guru ) the best mode of care is to give Panadol, warm baths and hope that it doesn't last long. Usually it resolves easily but sometimes the drum will burst and then it takes a few days to heal. I am a long time sufferer of ear problems and I am currently awaiting surgery for grommets once again. Just something to look into. I found a news article No antibiotics for ear infections - Kids and parenting - MSNBC.com

Michelle - What a nice break for you, you deserve it though. I don't know how you manage with 3!!! Have fun camping!

Ashlee - Great to hear Blake is on the mend. Brown suede sofa? I am so green with envy!!! I hope things are going well with Dave.

That looks as far back as I can go for the moment. to everyone I have missed.

Well Dan and Danni, I may be joining you on the TTC game if you are not successful this round. I hope it is good news all around though. I have been getting bad cramping again and this time there is red spotting instead of brown and more of it. Still not enough to say it is over but it looks to be heading that direction.

My visit with my dad was interesting. He seems uncomfortable around children and when he drove me 8 minutes to the mall to meet up with my step dad, some guy cut him off and he proceded to speed up and sit on the guys rear for the length of the road cursing his head off. All with a baby in the car. He expects me to go on the 5 hour drive to Penticton with him with a driving attitude like that? I think not. I don't want to see him again but I hate to hurt him.

No other news from me, I have been busy keeping my feet up and not much else. Hope everyone is having a great sleep! Will try to keep up a little more often.
