Babies Born May 2007 #18

Congrats Kass!!! How exciting for you guys!!!

I had my scan today, and they didn't ring me back with the results as they said they would. I will try and ring them tomorrow. How annoying.

But he is STILL a boy! lol

Congratulations Kass!!

D- I would think that no news is good news? Have you called?

Hi to everyone else, All these pregnancies are making me clucky already, might have to jump on the bandwagon! Need to have sex for that to happen though. Not sure if I could go through this sleep deprivation thing again so soon anyway. :lol:

Xavier is growing up so quickly, he put on a kg in 2 weeks, the boobie juice must be magic although he gets such bad wind pain from it. He screams about 4-6 hours a day in pain and I have tried colic relief syrups, different positions feeding, expressing before feeds etc and nothing seems to improve the situation. I just have to wait for him to grow out of it I guess. I am going to try and cut out caffine this weekend and see if that helps, it is hard when you are running on a few hours sleep.

Well enough of my pity party, it is not like I am the first and only mother to suffer like this.

This blows that the group has fallen to bits, I totally understand why people have left, I am halfway there myself, well more than halfway. This site used to be such a happy and friendly supportive place for me. It still is in some parts but now with a few bad apples here and there.

Anyway, I know I don't post much but I am always lurking. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

It was too late once I realised she hadn;t called! Lucky I wasn't sitting by the phone waiting!

I will ring her at 9am and yes Im hoping that no news is good news.

Sarah, I really reckon the caffeine reduction will help. Is there another type of natural stimulant u can take to keep you going?

Thanks Ash! We are so excited!

Congrats Kass! That is fantastic news hun. How are you feeling?

Danni hope you get your results soon, how annoying.

Sarah I agree with the caffeine. It gave Elena really bad wind. So did chocolate unfortunately :wall: I hope Xavier grows out of it soon. I know what you mean about some bad apples on here. I'm not here as much anymore either and I just visit a few favourite threads and get off.

AFM plodding along here. M/S is gone (woo hoo!) but still really tired all the time. Having my first scan in a few weeks. Elena is being her gorgeous self and is always asking where the baby is lol! Have a great weekend all. Gonna be a scorcher here today (44) so not looking forward to that.

Congrats Kass!!!

Sarah-I'm sorry to hear about the sleep deprivation and screaming, Blake was the same hun. The magic stuff from over in Perth really helped for Blake for a bit, maybe you could look into getting some of that??

Lis-I miss you :( Have you got FB? Msn???

Blake is coming along fabulously, he is making my life a joy every single day! He is OBSESSED with the movie Cars and will watch it over and over again, so very easily entertained if I need to do something lol He says "ka chow" (watch the movie, you'll know) all the time, it's hilarious!

ETA: Dan, everything will be ok with J xoxoxoxo

Hey ladies thanx for the well wishes!
Still letting it all soak in and be excited. Im very happy dont get me wronge. I just dont want have those strange looks as I look about 16! haha Aw well, all in all feel great! Just very bloated.

Woohoo, congrats Kass!!!! Hope you have a wonderful preg! Who cares what others think - you are a fab Mummy, look at how well you have done with Annabelle!! xxxxx

Hey guys, everything is fine with J. thank god!

Still so excited for you Kass!!!

Sarah: definitely try the stuff from Perth. I dont have the detals anymore but Im pretty sure it was Padbury pharmacy?

Popping in to say I miss my girls. :( :hug: to you all.

I'm FB stalking you Tan, don't you worry lol Will go through the mcn's I have tonight for you xoxo

Great news D, I knew he'd be just fine!!

Shell-Mwah!

We got a similar herbal mixture from our chemist, doesn't do anything and everyone swears by it. Xavier is screaming 6 hours a day straining to poo. I have tried Gaviscon and a couple of formula bottles on him and it didnt seem any different than BM so I don't know what it is. I just don't want to go to the Dr just to be told he will grow out of it.

Big hellos, I can't do personals right now, I have a list of housework to get done and I am determined to finish it before I go flat. TTYL!!

Danni glad all is well with J! Can't wait to find out his name!

Sarah I really feel for you. I hope you find something that works. Have you been keeping a food diary? I did that with Elena and by process of elimination to my diet she improved so much.

Kass don't worry what other people think hun, people will always have an opinion. Trust me, looking young is a great thing which you will appreciate a lot as you get older! How are you feeling?

Ash you're so sweet! I don't do FB or msn as I just don't have much time for the puter these days. Plus I spend so much time on the puter for work that I get over it!

Shell hope all is well with you guys!

We had yucky thick smoke at our place for most of the weekend with the Yarra Glen fires only 30 mins from us. Very scary. If I wasn't pg I'd be donating blood in a flash. On a much better note, have an OB appointment on Friday and will get a referral for my first scan, can't wait! Gotta go chicks, take care xxxxx

Sorry Sarah... i hope you guys can work out a way to get some relief. DOnt be scared to ask for help. Ask anyone and everyone xxx

Sangie, how exciting about your scan! I too would give blood if I could too. Just feel very helpless with no blood or money to give.

Popping in very briefly - I miss my girls, it's quiet in here ladies. :( I was thinking about you all and how 2 years ago we were getting ready for our gorgeous arrivals and how special that time was... Waaah. Hope you are all well - we are great, izzy is getting close to being super ready to TT - she's saying wee wee and taking her nappy off! She also is going through the "naming explosion" I read about in toddler tactics! Copies every word and is just the biggest chatterbox. We doa bit of time out but she bawls and says sorry as soon as I put her there so it's a bit hard!
James is gorgeous, growing so fast already - 4 mths today girls. My babies are getting so big. Ok I'm off - just wanted to pop in and say hi and that I am still thinking about you all alot. :hug: to you all and your kidlets.

Yay on Izzy being ready for TT! It's oh so much easier than lugging nappies and wipes around the place, even though you have to for J man at the moment anyway. Blake gets timeout too but we put him in his room...he hates it and cries but is super duper sorry when he comes out.
Omg, J is 4 months already? Where the hell does time go? He's so adorable I just wanna eat him up!

Well Blake's fully TTed now, except overnight. I'm one proud mumma!

I'm lurking around and posting a bit more these days....I've gotten rid of FB as it was causing dramas in my relationship, so I'm looking for something in BB again :)

Hope everyone is doing well and is just quiet due to being busy.

(Like my new sig?)

Hey ladies! I'm still here but just been super busy!

Tan so lovely to hear from you. YAY for almost TT. Ellie sits on the potty but is yet to do anything in it lol! Wow can't believe James is 4 months already. We haven't done any time out yet. I'm lucky so far in that Ellie is so well behaved and obedient, I'm sure that will change at some stage though.

Ash congrats on having Blake TT, that is fantastic! Does he use a potty or the toilet?

Sarah hope you are travelling along ok with your boys.

Danni hey gorgeous how are you doing?

Kass hope you are feeling well and have none of the dreaded m/s.

Hello Dan if you are around!

AFM been really busy with work and DH has been away for the last week. It's hard being a single mum and pg too! Ellie is such a good girl though that I shouldn't complain. Her language has also taken off again and she is now reciting nursery rhymes and singing short songs all on her own. She even does the actions to 'twinkle twinkle litte star' and applauds herself when she's done - so cute! I had a mini scan at my OB appointment last week and was so excited to see a strong hb and little legs kicking around. Have my 12 week scan next week!

Well better fly and get some more work done, talk more soon xxxxx

Lis-Wow on your scan, that's fantastic!! Can't wait to hear how the 12 weeker goes. Ellie sounds so advanced with her speech, how precious! Blakey does the actions to Twinkle Twinkle and he does try to sing it but it's just babble. Blake uses the toilet, but with a child seat aswell. In my opinion, a potty is just making more work for yourself, as you then have to wean them off this and onto the toilet.

Yeah Ash but Ellie seems a bit intimidated by the big toilet. The seat on our potty can actually also go on the toilet so I'm hoping that it won't be too bad of a transition if she is using the same seat. I don't think she is quite ready yet - she always tells me when she is about to poop but not for wee yet so I'm just happy that she'll sit there and get used to it for now!

How to Blake and Lulu get along? Your ticker photo is so cute, he's such a spunky boy!
