WOW!!! Me first and I am in a different timezone

Promise I will catch up with personals soon. Just still feeling like crap, this m/s is outta control and I have a cold to top it off!!!

Noah stood unassisted yesterday for about 4 seconds. I was so proud!!! That is about all the news. Will try to catch up over the next few days!

[Beach Mama]

for Noah!! Sorry you are still not feeling well hun - fingers crossed your m/s passes quickly and you get over your cold.

Dan and D - best of luck for next month ladies.

Welcome back Shell - sounds like you had a great time!

everyone else - Im off to finish writing some reports, arrgggh they are due Friday so bring it on - can't wait to get them out of the way.

Izzy is better although she face planted again last night because she was running, and had a blood lip and nose. The nose freaked me out but didn't last too long thank goodness. No wonder I look frazzled all the time with her scaring me like that constantly.
Ok back later!

[sangie]

Woo hoo for Noah! Hope the m/s passes soon......

Tan good luck with the rest of the reports, nearly done! Poor Izzy face planting Ellie runs as well and yesterday ran straight into the wall because she was looking up while running Luckily no damage but gave her a big shock! (and me too lol!)

Welcome back Shell, your trip sounds like it was a lot of fun!

I need to buy Elena some new shoes already - her first pair only lasted 6 weeks and now they are getting tight! Does anyone know where to get nice shoes that don't cost the earth? I need to get a fairly dressy pair for her to wear to a wedding but the ones I like were $70 and I don't really want to spend that much when they probably won't fit for very long. Any ideas?

Well better go, have 2 more hours of work today and then I'm done for the week woo hoo!!!

[Shellbelle]

Hello everyone!!

Sarah - I hope the ms passes for you soon hun!! I had terrible ms that lasted the whole preg, so I hope it goes away!!!
Tan - did you get all your reports done? Your belly is getting huge too!!!! My God, I almost dies when I seen your belly shots, you look fantastic!!! Poor Izzy, Angus always has bruises all over him cause his little legs move too fast for him to keep up!!! God love em!!!
Lis - have you tried k-mart for shoes? They had the most gorgeous new shoes in the other day when was there, they had like little ballet slipper type things for girls sooo cute! They have playgro and fisher price ones i think. Got Angus some cute little leather navy shoes. Think they were like $20. Good Luck!!

Anyway, bettter get moving, am making pizzas for dinner for state of origin!!! GO QLD!!

[Ashlee]

Tan- Yay, for no more work!!!

D- Im so happy things are working out

HB- Sorry to hear the bleeding is back. Does the doctor seem like they're getting to the bottom of things?

Sangie- Yay for a dishwasher! Mine is dirty and Im just hand washing at the moment Mind you my hands look like old lady hands all dried out! Annabelle's eyes are all better! So much so we still went swimming this morning

I know I have missed some but Ill bbl to do some more personals

Looking for a new home at the moment as our house we're in now is sold. But thats all good as we were moving at the end of the lease anyway. We want a new house! Where ever we move next Im never moving again till we buy! We may even buy that one if all goes to plan. So we'll stay in it abaout 4-5yrs. I dont want to move to much I think the bubbas need a stable home Yep bubbas!

[LuluHB]

HI everyone. Sorry I've not been around. Life is completely sh*t at the moment to be perfectly honest. Elena turns out to have the same food intolerances as Izzy, so within 15 minutes of a feed she is in horrible pain, completely rigid and screaming her little lungs out. She still won't take a bottle so there's nothing I can do to fix her. I've tried everything I can think of and wanted to throw myself off a cliff when my CHN said "oh yes. Some babies just won't take bottles"!!! FFS I don't want her on a bottle for my convenience. The poor little thing is suffering. I am so close to just waking up one morning and simply not feeding her until she is so damn hungry she takes the bottle. It has sounded so cruel to me in the past when people have suggested but I'm now thinking that's far less cruel than continuing on this way. My PND is completely out of control. Couldn't find any happy pills I could take that didn't make Elena even worse and the clinical psychologist I was referred to has an appointment for me, wait for it, on 22 September!!! Am waiting to hear back from a help line for the child expert place in Perth and also from the counselling service attached to the hospital where the girls were both born. Hopefully someone will have some answers. It was my birthday yesterday and DH and I had planned on having our first night out together (or any time at all for that matter) since Elena was born. Ended up not going because she just wouldn't stop screaming and I couldn't leave her with Mum when she was like that.

So, after that whinge aren't you all glad you haven't heard from me before now?!?!

Tan - sorry to hear your little man is breach. I'm sure he will turn for you though. He's going to be a good boy. Otherwise, I'll come over there and have serious words with him!

Otherwise, great to read that everyone seems to be doing very well. Will hopefully be back soon with some positive news.

[Kazmar]

Lulu- Im so sorry to hear what a hard time you're still having! It makes me so mad to think, you are obviously begging for help then people wonder why some mothers are pushed to the edge. Maybe if we listened to them in the 1st place some horrible things wouldn't happen. Not saying you'll hurt your bubbas but just upset that people are brushing it off when your a good enough mummy to ask for help in the 1st place
All I can say is when you feel like you're at breaking point, just keep thinking, "It's not going to last, this situation will pass."
I find it hard to believe there is nothing that can be done for your situation, Im sure other mummies have gone through the same thing, I just dont know where to tell you to turn Im so sorry
Have you emailed, maybe Kelly from BB she may have some numbers and support groups that can help?
