Ggggrrrrr having trouble posting, not sure if its my computer or this site or maybe both! But its really starting to p*** me off...................so so slow................
LOL at the pram obsessions! I have 2 for Elena so seems perfectly reasonable to me Lulu that you would have 4 prams for 2 babies!
Shell hope Angus starts sleeping better for you soon, you must be exhausted you poor thing! OOooohhhh I love tupperware, would love some more but I'm sure DH would strongly disagree with that!
Gotta fly, hope all is well. Should be working while Ellie is sleeping.........

i love tupperware too but the price is just way out of our budget right now
Well the renos have started! We managed to save a lot of money in a very short time....dont ask me how, but we did it! So we have $700 worth of paint sitting there begging to be put on the walls!
We also are getting new carpet as soon as the painting is done so we are gunna be very busy!
Mason stands for a long time alone now but no steps!!! grr

I've been trying to post for a few days but all my posts keep getting deleted so I gave up for a few days. I met my little nephew over the weekend. He is absolutely gorgeous and being a perfect little baby. My brother and SIL are doing a great job.
Livvy is being a princess by day and a feral by night. She still isn't settling at night time. We are completely out of ideas!!! I am sick with a headcold and Livvy isn't settling herself until we hold her in our arms or put her in our bed with us. Has anyone else been or going through this?
D - Fantastic news that you have been able to save enough to start your reno's. What are you looking at doing? Don't panic about your little man not walking. These babes do what they want when they want and not a second before.
Shell - I'm a huge fan of tupperware which you could pick the second you open any appliance or cupboard in my house. Livvy sounds just like Angus. Absolutely loves anything that's dirty.
Sangie - I have the exactly same frustration with the computer as you. It's been driving me mad and I actually gave up for a few days.
I better duck off and finish organising dinner,
Chat soon gorgeous ladies,
Dan & Livvy.

I have had major issues posting too guys so hence why I've been hiding a bit!!
to you all!!! I'm feeling too lazy and down to do personals right now but have been reading and have to say Lulu you gave me the BIGGEST laugh hun!!
Glad you like it and if you like I have to say it must be good! 4prams - thats funny!!!! What colour did you end up getting! We laybyed ours last weekend and got red! I figured I could get around faster
I'm having a down day in relation to my vbac. I SO do not want another c/s - the thought of it makes me cry and feel physically ill, but I know it might end up that way. Now I'm wondering if I should hire an independant midwife. Dan and Shell - what do you guys think? I don't want the midwives at the hospital and mine to be at loggerheads but I want someone to stand up for us and think I would feel better if they were medically trained rather than a doula if that makes sense. I'm just praying this bub will come out a few days early and easily and save us the hassle of fighting hospital policy.
Ok Im off to have dinner and feel sorry for myself -to you all and I will be back when I'm in a better mood!

Tan and Shell - I got the red and charcoal one. It is really great. I still much prefer the side by side double for proper walks etc, but the P&Ts is brilliant for the shops, and Izzy is so much more comfortable in it.
Shell - I'm a huge tupperware fan too, and its perfect to go with my OCD!! You must be exhausted with Angus feeding so much. Hopefully it will settle down soon for you.
Danni - yay for renos. Hope its all trouble free and quick. I'm sure Mason will be running around in no time if he's standing for a long time now.
Dan - so pleased to hear your brother and his wife are enjoying their little prince.
Tan - try not to stress too much about the VBAC. I'm sure you will get it. Hopefully Dan and Shell will give you good advice. There was a woman in my belly buddies who ended up with a successful VBAC 16 odd days overdue for her 7th child! Hey, if she gets it, anyone can I say!! You'll do great sweetie. I just know you will.
Elena now screaming. BBL

Fingers crossed that this post works.............
Lulu yay on the red/charcoal P&T! My friend has one and I think it looks awesome!
Tan I have every faith in you that you can get your VBAC, you seem to be doing your homework so I'm sure that it will all pay off. You can do it!!!!!!!
D yay for the renos, trust me once you start there is always something else you want to do! I have to restrain myself from anymore renos as we are probably going to be putting our house on the market this year.
Day congrats on becoming an aunt!
Shell how did Angus go last night? Maybe he is having a growth spurt? I swear that Elena looks a lot taller this week than she did last week lol, which would make sense given how much food she has been scoffing lately!
Hello to everyone else, no doubt we are all still having issues with posting??? Gotta get back to work I suppose, shouldn't complain given that I am able to work from home today woo hoo! Catch ya's!

Posting is stupid right now isn't it! When I found the link thing to here it said the most recent post was Lulu last night - not Lis today! So odd!!
Quick one here, I'm feeling a bit better today - thanks for your words of support ladies!!
I'm having a Tupperware party in a few weeks after going to one the other day - I think Im getting addicted and want an organised pantry!!
Hoepfully this will post ok! Have a great night all!!

Yay for being able to post..........
Feeling slightly worried/nervous today - warning TMI!
We DTD yesterday and today I have EWCM (I'm sure its this and not DH's leftovers, sorry for the graphic). Also had what I think are O pains this morning? I have PCOS and so I rarely ovulate and therefore we haven't bothered with contraception unless I notice EWCM (seriously been non existent since having Elena). Crikey I guess this means I maybe O'ing this month which is a woo hoo as my body is actually doing what it's meant to all on its own! But I guess there is a chance now that I might be pg? Not sure how I feel about this..........going through a million different emotions this morning!
Sorry for hugely selfish post, just felt I needed to tell somebody. Haven't told DH, might wait a bit longer to get my head around it first. OMG a nervous TWW for me!
Registered User
Great news Tan - glad you're feeling happier. Just gotta keep thinking positively - you'll get what you want. And go the tupperware. Its sad how grown up I feel now. I used to admire other women's shoes, handbags etc. Now I check out their prams and tupperware collections!
Lis - oooooooh. That's brilliant that you think you're o'ing. I know the mixed feelings about possible pregnancy. For what its worth, I never got to the point where I was happy being pregnant so soon but I wouldn't trade my beautiful 2nd daughter for anything so whatever way you go will be fine.
It was DH's birthday today and Izzy gave him a beautiful present - for the first time ever called out "Daddy" when he came into the room. Otherwise she's going well and seriously growing too. Not sure how though because unlike what Lis has said about Elena, she's barely eating anything. Got my 6 week check up with the OB tomorrow. Can't wait to have it over so I can stop dropping my knickers every two minutes!

OMG, this is the first time I have been able to log on in 2 days!!!
Just quickly as I need to sort my chidren out!!!
Lis - I could have written your exact post 2 wks ago!!! Was jjust about to buy a preg test, but I got Af yesterday though!! Hope you get the result you want!!
Lulu & Tan - I couldn't decide on the red or black so I got the black/charcoal in the end. Only cause I had a loan red one till mine arrived and my kids had it so filthy in 1 week, I decided to go for the black!!!
BBL, hope I can post this!!!!

Hi everyone,
Lis - OMG isn't it exciting when our ovaries do what they are supposed to. Some people think I'm crazy when I get excited over getting ovulating, LOL!! Fingers crossed you get the result you want at the end of the horrid TWW.
Tan -on feeling better. Is Iz better too? Be careful because tupperware is extrememly addictive. I had to stop looking at catalogues and going to parties as it was costing us an absolute fortune and Dave was starting to get really cranky, OOPS!!
About your question regarding a private midwife/doula. Are you wanting them there are an additional support person or to fight the hospital policies? (Hope that wasn't too blunt. Couldn't find the right word).
D - How's the renos coming along? I've been thinking of you lately too. How's your little man settling now?
Shell - You cheeky one for not letting us in on your TWW! All sorted out after coming home from camping? How's angus now after being crook for so long?
Lulu - I'm sorry but I had to laugh when I read your post about buying a P & T pram but so glad you're happy with it. I want to buy one if and when we have #2 but I think it's going to be a battle to get it out of Dave. He won't even let me buy a stroller. Bugger!!! What a gorgeous present for your DH today. Our little ones are turning into little people and it's scary how quickly they are growing up. How's feeding Elena going?
Well it's same ole same ole here. Livvy and I have a cold and are both really tired. Livvy has at least stop screaming when we try to settle her at night but only if one of us are in her room. We don't have to be touching or soothing her but we have to be there. I sat by her bedroom door last night and she happily drifted off to sleep. If we try to settle her by herself she is screaming the house down. We have no idea what to do anymore.
I better duck off and get ready for work although I am just wanting to go. I have no idea how I am going to get through my shift. I'm needing to lay down and sleep 2 -3 times a day.
Have a great day everyone and catch up real soon,
Luv Dan.

Hey everyone! Glad posting is back to normal again!!
Dan - a bit of both I guess hun!! Support for me to tell me I can do it etc.. but also to say those questions they tell you to ask at birth classes but that I forgot while in the pain of labour (silly me) like why do you want to do it - what's involved and what happens now if we say no!
Shell-
Lis - good luck with your TWW - hope you get the result you are after hun! Have to say I posted about EWCM and ovulation etc on the 14th Jan - before I knew I was pg and didn't know that I was o'ing at the time!!!
Lulu - what a clever Izzy!!!! Typical isn't it that they say dada first and not mama!! Good luck at your check up hun - hope all is a-ok.
Quick one here because we have people over for dinner - just wanted to pop in and say a big
Registered User
Morning all!
LOL Dan I don't think your crazy for being excited when you O all on your own! I feel the same way! Hope you and Livvy are feeling better soon.
Lulu hope your checkup went well, lucky DH got a great present hey?
Shell you cheeky girl! Have I missed something, are you TTC ???????? Has Angus sleeping got any better?
Tan hope you had a great dinner last night.
A big
I told DH that I am 99.9% sure that I O'd this month. He said 'that's great, well done'. Then 10 minutes later comes back and says 'so is it possible you might be pg?'. LOL took him 10 minutes to figure it out!
Have a lovely weekend all, we will be spending it house hunting yet again and hoping that we find the right one (I'm so sick of it!). Ciao........
Registered User
Lis - LOL at your DH. Men!! They're all the same. Good luck with the house hunting. Its a nightmare isn't it - what starts off as such an exciting thing quickly becomes a chore that is time consuming and at times depressing when you can't find what you want, or when you can't afford what you have found that you like!
Dan - big hugs. We had the same problem with Izzy for a while too. I had to lie on the floor next to her cot before she would go to sleep. I just gradually moved closer and closer to the door until I was out of it and I have to admit, I did leave her at times to cry (not what I was happy doing but I was getting desperate). I'd go back in after only a couple of minutes and it has very quickly got to the stage now where I can now put her down and walk straight out without problems. Hope something works for you soon - its exhausting when getting your little princess to sleep takes so long. And hey, if your DH won't let you buy a P&Ts I know of a lovely Mountain Buggy and Babylove Tandem that are up for sale . . . Feeding Elena is going well, but her colic/wind issues have been getting progressively worse all week.
Hi to everybody else. Hope everyone is well and bubbies are behaving.
Had the night from hell last night. Elena didn't settle until 1.30 am and work at 3am for a feed. Izzy ended up in our bed at 2am but was still screaming and at 5.30 am I finally got to bed for some sleep, only to get woken by Elena at 7am for another feed. Had her 6 week check up this morning though and she's doing beautifully. 51 cm length, 35 cm h/c and 3.63kgs at birth. At 6 weeks she is now 57 cm long, 40 cm h/c and 4.4 kgs. She is growing so much more quickly than Izzy did. Went and bought some of the miracle colic mix today too so hopefully that will give her some relief and DH and I some much needed sleep. I think Izzy is getting another tooth through so will put her to bed dosed up on Nurofen tonight and hope the tooth pops through soon.

My posts have not appeared? weird weird and so fustrating!!! grrrr
tan: i will be hiring a private midwife with #2 definitely. I too am in constant fear of a repeat c/s and awful hospital experience.
I have just pulledall the tiles off the wall in the kitchen! that was great for exerting negative energy!
We are starting to wash the walls this weekend ready for painting, then we will retile the kitchen walls, and then laying the new carpet. Im pretty sure that will be it. Run out of money then!

Hey girls,
Sorry for going MIA again, I've had the week from hell. It's a full moon and AF is here with a vengeance because I'm changing pillsBOTH kids are sick (Blake with a horrid cough, runny nose and leaking ears and Lulu with a chest infection) so I'm a sleep deprived mess. Anybody else notice their kids/themselves go wacky during the full moon? I've been the moodiest cow and have been driving Dave insane, I've been so mean and nasty and snappy that he wouldn't see me for 2 days until I stopped doing it (fair enough I say I wouldn't want to be near me either!).
All else is well, Blake has started blowing kisses with sound effect included, and when I ask him where his toes or willy is he points to and plays with them LOL such a boy, bathtime is all about his willy
Love you all, will be around to catch up with personals now
