[Liviam]

Thank you all so much!!!! Your support has meant the absolutle world to me. I couldn't have survived without you goreous amazing ladies Dave and I are in a bit of shock still but awesome amazing shock. My FS appt tomorrow has just taken a completely different path, LOL!!.

[Danni]

Hehe tell the FS to shove his clomid!!!!!

[LuluHB]

Oh Dan. That is such amazingly brilliant news. I am so happy for you. I had done a long post yesterday in response to yours but then it disappeared and I didn't have the energy to do it again. So, I don't have written proof of tell you I told you so

Seriously, so happy for you. Wishing you a happy, healthy and event free 8 months.

I'll try to BBL for personals. AF has finally visited after more than 2 years and oh boy is she making her return a memorable one!

[Liviam]

WE HAVE HAD A BREAK THROUGH!!!!

After another terrible night with Olivia screaming the house down and refusing to settle anywhere but on my chest with me sitting up on the couch she had cut her top two eye teeth THANK GOD!!! Hopefully this will be the beginning of Livvy going back to her normal sleeping.

Back later for personals.

Congratulations Danni & Dan on the BFP!!! That is so exciting!!

And a huge congratulations to Tan on the birth of her little man!! Has anyone heard anything more?

It seems to be all happening in here at the moment! I hear you all on the teething. Julian has been unsettled also with some molars coming through. He is saying lots of words ehich provide lots of enjoyment. He is such an active little boy and he always wants to go for a 'walk' grabbing my hand to take me to the door. He is also a little cyclone, turning my place upside down in record time!

[Beach Mama]

Congrats again Dan and D! So happy for you both!!!

Well we are home! Settling in ok - I think the little guy is going to take a while to get used to his new surroundings and screeching sister! Izzy has been SO cute with him so gentle , giving him kisses and cuddles! He has slept super well the last few nights and is feeding ok - although a bit all over the place and my bb's are SORE...... attachment is fun right now on the right - still like it was with Izzy. I must just hold them funny on that side I think plus he isn't fully draining me so I'm a bit full..... milk came in yesterday so hopefully they will start to settle once we get into some kind of routine!
Im a bit sad I didn't get my VBAC. Not angry, or regretful but just sad I didn't get to birth my babes, but they are both such healthy happy babies how can I really complain and this time I can say I did it all! 10lb! I still can't believe it and his head was 38cms!!! Whopper!
Anyway, lovely HUGE to you all for your support and love - it means a tremendous amount to me....back when I can find another 5 mins free!

[Danni]

whooo hooooo for livvy!

Tan, so glad you are home and hope you guys settle in to a good routine nice and quickly. Cant wait to see pics o him!

[LuluHB]

Great news Dan. Hopefully Livvy will settle back into being a lovely sleeping princess through the night.

Jan - I hear you on the walking cyclones. I can't believe how one little person (well, one and a half really - Ellie is starting to get in on it too!) can make such a mess in such a short period of time. She loves being outside too - bashes on the sliding doors to get out, whatever the weather is!

Oh Tan. I'm sorry for you too sweetie but having James safe and sound in your arms is the main thing. You did everything a person could do and unfortunately it wasn't to be. That's so gorgeous of Izzy. I'm sure you'll find as I have done that some of the most beautiful moments you could imagine come from watching your babies interact with each other. Hopefully his feeding will settle into a routine and your bbs will settle down too. So weird with the sides thing isn't it. My problem side was the left side (which you'll be happy to hear that according to the LC I saw that makes me weird!). Sending you lots of healing vibes so that you're up and about quickly with your gorgeous kiddies.

Hi to everyone else. Off to give Iz a bath before I take a drug overdose and go to bed. Still feeling very, very unwell. Did anyone else find their first AF was just horrific?

[Danni]

arrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i feel so sick!!!!! blergh blergh this just sux!!!

Yes Lulu, you lucky duck for avoiding it for this long! But yes my first AF was awful....but everyone there after got lighter and lighter. Since having a baby my periods have been the shortest ever!

[sangie]

Tan glad to hear you are home. I'm sorry too hun but the main thing is that you and James are both safe and well! Good luck with the bf hun. Izzy sounds gorgeous!

Lulu I can't remember my first AF lol, was that long ago! But same as D, mine are much lighter now.

Dan yay for Livvy's teeth, what a relief hey? We finally got some molars poking through too so praying that Ellie settles down as well! How are you feelilng?

D eeewwww you poor thing.

Jan great to hear from you. I hear you on the little cyclones, I have one too lol!

Feeling a bit sad this morning as DH has gone away for work until Monday, yes I'm being a sook lol. Just annoyed at the timing as we have tradesman in our new house and I have already had a phone call saying that some doors need to be removed for the floors. Yep I'll just pop down and pull them off with a toddler at my feet NOT! Gggrrrrr why does DH work trips always happen at the worst possible times. Sorry vent over! Be back when I'm in a better mood!

[Liviam]

GGGRRRR!!!! I hate computers. Just lost my beautiful post . Let's see how I go this time.

Sangie - GGGRRRR at tradies. Why can't they take a b!oody door off . YAY on El's molars. Hope the rest pop through easily. I understand hating DH going away. I'm exactly the same. Hate him going away for work.

Tan - So glad you are home with your gorgeous man. I love his name by the way. I'm so very sorry that you didn't get your VBAC . I am so incredibly proud of you. You are an amazing woman. So good to hear that Iz loves her new little brother. Hope your recovery is going really well gorgeous.

D -Good luck with your interviews this morning. Hope you get the one you want. Fingers crossed. Little M being good so you can grab a nanna's nap when you need to? How are his teeth coming?

Lulu - My first AF was horrific!!!! I was so sick, the cramps were shocking and OMG the bleeding. I thought I was going to need a blood transfusion, LOL!! Hang in there gorgeous they do ease up again. Each one gets better. How is your PND going? Feeling like you getting back to the old Lulu?? Livvy loves to spend all day outside just like Iz. Can't wait for santa to bring her her swing set so she has something to do out there.

Jan - Great to hear from you gorgeous and that Julian is going well. Livvy is walking tornado too. Every second tuesday I look after my neice (5 months older than Livvy) and oh my god!!! It's all worth it to see the look on their faces having fun. Pop back and keep us up to date on how you are going.

Hi to all the other gorgeous mummies.

AFM Nothing changed last night except mine and Dave's sleeping arrangements. We took shifts in sleeping in the spare bed with Livvy. When is this going to stop . She is much happier today so fingers crossed tonight will be better too. She has now cut three eye teeth so only one more and four molars to go!!!! Then hopefully it will be over for a little while.
I had my OB/FS appt yesterday. He has ordered a series of bt's to monitor my levels and work out when to do a dating scan. So far all is good. Hope it stays that way .
Ok better go and see if Olivia is going to eat today or tell me to shove it again, LOL!!
Have a fantastic day one and all,
Love me & livvy

Tan - Glad you are all home!! James is just gorgeous. He really is a beautiful baby!! I bet Izzy is just besotted with him. Angus loves babies and everywhere we go he yells out bubba - bubba!! Even if they are older than him he is a dag! About your vbac, at least you gave it your best shot. You could have not tried, had James at 38wks as an elective ceaser and then left with the "what if". I think you did a great job holding on for so long, you are one strong woman tan - and an awesome Mummy. you DH and kids are lucky to have you Hope you settles down!! Enjoy your new role as Mum of 2!!

Lulu - my AF is always heavy, and I hat to say has got worse after every child. I get them so heavy it is ridiculous. I usually have to stay at home if I can the first 2 days I have them as it is so heavy I can't control it. And I am glad I am not BF now so at least I can take some pain killlers. Was awful having to try and survive with just panadol. But, I hope you are like the others and it gets better next time!!

D - gotta love morning sickness hey! You poor thing, hope it disappears soon for you..

Dan - How are you going!! Are you still trying to let it all sink in!! I am so happy for you and D that you get to go through your preg journey together!! My bets are that you both have boys too!! How is work? I am still doing 3 shifts a f/n, dont really have any desire to work anymore atm!! Lazy, I know, but maybe next year I will get my butt organised!!

Lis - how did you go? Did you get those doors off

AFM - I am so over teething atm. Angus spent all night tossing and turning, crying, screaming etc etc. He has 2 eye teeth popping through, and then he started with a cough and runny nose - yay, just what we need. DD2 has had it so I spose it was a matter of time. I also feel like $hit, but I think it is cause I am soooo tired. So I have given him panadol and will put him back to bed soon i think.

Well, have a great day everyone!!!

[Beach Mama]

I am reading gorgeous girls - no time to post personals but wanted to give you all HUGE

I've posted a few pics in my gallery of our little guy too... Talk soon! **MWA**

[sangie]

Oooohhhh Tan he is so beautiful! He is making me super clucky LOL! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy because we all know how quickly they grow up!

Shell - he he no way I was going to pull of doors! If you hear on the news that a melb tiler has been seriously injured then you can safely assume that is was me that did it! He is driving me mental - just do your job and get out!!!!!!!

Dan can't wait to hear when you are having a dating scan! Are you feeling ok?

Sorry no time to post personals to everyone, gotta head out soon. Seems like we are all having some teething issues, I'm so over it! Poor little tots. Might be back later, have a great Friday all! xx

[sangie]

gggrrrr..........double post.

[Shellbelle]

Good morning everyone!

Tan - how is little James settling in?
Lis - I will keep an eye out on the news!!

Well I have 2 sick kiddies! Just the usual - snotty noses, cough, fevers etc etc So lotsa fun!! Just a quick hello - in the midst of washing my mountain of clothes!! xx

[Beach Mama]

Hi girls! Hope you are all well!
We are settling in at home with a lovely newborn that won't sleep unless it's on us so the last few days have been interesting- I forgot how you can still function on 2 hours sleep somehow. Izzy has been gorgeous - she is learning new words every day and today has finally worked out how to say Izzy which comes out as Cissy - SOOO adorable! We are still working on James - she tends to just call him bubba!
Loving every minute of our little guy and if I get a bt upset/tired/frustrated I just look at Izzy and realise how fast time flies and "this too shall pass!"
Chat soon - off to lay on the couch before the next feed! to you all lovely ladies!
