Hi Girls,
We're back from our holiday in Melbourne now, we had a great xmas with my family but I was sick for New Years Eve with tonsilitis so I was stuck in bed for a few days down there.
The girls got soooo many presents for xmas down there. We only took a few each for them (we told them that Santa was leaving the rest here) lucky we only took a few coz they got so many presents we had to buy an extra suitcase down there to bring them all back.
Hope you all had a great xmas and new year as well.
Melissa - How's things going with you now? Did you for your 2nd blood test? Hope you are ok, I have been thinking of you!
Gotta go and tidy up. My inlaws are arriving tomorrow :wall: I don't really get along with them so not looking forward to them coming. Once again they never rang us or got the kids anything for xmas. Don't think our kids have ever received presents from them. Annoys me coz they have sooooo much money.
-
Hey all, we are back from 9 nights camping. All is good here, Rebecca is almost walking. She took 11 steps...we were counting as we were making her practice at camp!!! She just hangs off my leg anyway so we thought we would give it a go.
Leigh.... i am getting bloods done today. My last results went up slightly, but i am still spotting. Will let you know.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my BB ladies!
Christmas was very busy for us and Bella go so many toys!! I have no room to put them all! I need a much bigger house!
Bella is almost walking! She has taken 14 steps in a row! Thats her record at the moment - she is still a bit scared to do it full time but we get her walking then put oour hand out in front of her and she will toddle along for a while and then she relises and drop to her bum! Cute!
She is getting her second molar and has been a bit grumbly but not to bad at all. Sleeping is getting better - was going through a phase of waking a few times a night for a feed but has slept through again for the last couple of nights.
Mel - I hope everything works out - I will be thinking of you! xox
Leigh - hope the inlaws visit is ok and they they have changed their ways and bring some pressies for the kids!
Well better go back to work!!
Kate

Hey all, still around. Just waiting to go to an appointment at monash tomorrow to see if I need a curette....oh fun.
Rebecca is walking now...its really cute. I think she is very cautious because her big sister is very rough with her!!! Finally today though, rebecca got Olivia a good one and threw a toy at her face. Olivia screamed....the tides they are a changing!!!
-
Hi Girls,
Hope you're all well.
Melissa - I'm so sorry about everything that has happened. Did you manage to get a D&C? I had to have a D&C each time I miscarried too. Did the dr mention when you would be able to try again? Hope you're feeling ok :hug: That made me laugh when you said Rebecca had got Olivia a good one. I know what you mean about the older sibling being rough. Cadence is rough with Lara too. I am forever telling her to be gentle etc.
Kate - Sounds like you had a great xmas. We need a bigger place too from all the presents. Lara sounds like Bella in the walking dept. She drops to her bum when she realises she is going on her own or if I clap or something. They all get there eventually.
I have a bit of news. I am pregnant.......obviously wasn't planned. My cycles are very irregular so I have no idea when I ovulate or anything. Anyway DH and I had 2 slip ups. We thought nothing of it, why would we when it took 23 months to conceive Lara. I am still in shock. I'm just over 12 wks now. It hasn't been smooth sailing though. I was bleeding quite heavily for 10 days at the 6 week mark so I thought it was all over. I've been for 4 scans now though and all are showing a healthy baby. I went for my NT scan yesterday. We haven't told anyone as I am still so scared something will go wrong. And as you girls know I was warned about getting pregnant again so I am terrified. My dr has assured me that things will be fine though and that I will have to have a caesar a bit earlier than normal. With both my girls I went into labour at 37 wks so they said I will most likely have a caesar around 36 wks. But basically if I go into labour before hand I have to go straight to hospital for a caesar. Thats what was meant to happen with Lara too but the hospital kept me waiting for 6 hrs thats why I tore and why I am now in the predicament.

WOOT WOOT...CONGRATULATIONS Leigh, fantastic news. All the best for a safe pregnancy. Its good to hear your ob is reassuring.
Becca is well and truely walking. She even managed to climb up the ladder into the trampoline, much to our horror! I guess the ladder will come down now!
AFM...I went to the clinic only to be told I cant have a d and c beacause there is no product left. The u/s revealed a polyp close to my cervix. I had an internal...much like a pap smear and he couldnt really say much. My cervix is closed. Anyway, thismorning I passed something revolting....so if its not a product of conception, my next question is...is it the polyp? I rang the drs and they said it cant be the polyp. I am thinking it may be because its exactly how its described and similar measurments commented in the u/s report. I have kept it but the dr said they cant do any tests on it.... so I dont know what to do. I hae a blood test for my hcg levels next thursday and friday I see the clinic again. I have been referred to the gyny people about the polyp, however the waiting list is a while then waiting for surgery is months after that.
The dr yesterday said he would advise to hold off until the polyp is removed, however he also said that if we did ttc straight away, then it would be up to us. There is no definate about the polyp contributing to m/c.....
So I dont know! DH is keen to start as soon as we can. I am too and I think we will just take the risk. Firstly though, I need to stop bleeding!
That was the long answer of it...
-
Thanks Mel, I haven't let myself get excited about it yet as I am too terrified something bad will happen, either soon (miscarriage) or later on (rupturing again). I am so scared I wont make it to the hospital on time.
I would probably take the risk and ttc straight away too, it is too hard to wait when it is something you really want. As for the polyp, I have no answers on that one, sorry. Must be so frustrating not knowing if it was the polyp you passed or not. Are you bleeding heavy? Hopefully you will stop soon. My friend who has had two miscarriages fell pregnant 2 wks after she stopped bleeding and had a completely normal pregnancy both times so hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones who will fall pregnant straight away.
Wow on Rebecca climbing the ladder to get into the trampoline. Lara is a climber too, still not walking full time on her own though.
-
Melissa - hugs to you babe, I am so sorry to hear the news. I lost my first bub and its just a terrible thing to go through. Hugs and I hope that you can get back on the ttc bandwagon asap and that you fall again soon.
Leigh - WOW!! Congrats!! Thats awesome news!! I know that you must be in shock and also a bit scared but if you have checks all the time it will be fine!! Wow I still cant believe it! Awesome awesome news!!
DH and I will be ttc in about April - as we would kinda need to be able to take advantage of the paid maternity leave that the govt is brininging in in 2011 so bub will need to bo born after Jan 2011.
I am going off the pill next month to give my body at least 3 months to get back in a regular cycle.. I am SO imatiant!! I want to be preg right now!
Bella is getting another 2 molars (joy!!) and shec an now walk around for ages by herself but then decides that she better crawl!! Its very very cute to watch!! She starts off slow but she really gets some speed up at times!!
Well DH is away for a Hot rod show this weekend so Im gunna watch a movine then bed - Bella may or maynot get up for a bottle tonight so Im gunna catch up on some sleep!!
Kate xox

Hi girls - happy new year!!
Leigh - Congrats hon, I'll be thinking of you, and hoping all goes well for you xx
Mel - So sorry to hear your news. Like Kate, I lost my first baby too, so big hugs from me. Hope everything works out xx
How exciting that our bubs are walking etc. Sienna has been walking for a couple of months now, she started about a week after her b'day. She's so flipping quick tho, she's almost running. She's had a few stacks and ended up with a black eye this week - talk about feeling like a terrible parent, lol!!
She's also getting her molars...fun times! Actually she's not been too bad, a little unsettled when going down to bed for the night, and occasionally waking thru the night, but I've not needed to go into her room, she's re-settled herself which is nice.
I'm just loving this age - Sienna says the funniest things, she's a little parrot and copies a lot of what we say (which is a big wakeup call for hubby and I - gotta watch the swearing, lol).
We're still working hard on the new house, so hubby hasn't been around much. He usually looks after Sienna on Saturdays while I'm at work, so apparantly today he is taking her to the tip, which should be a lovely outing for her...not...
Anyways we are (very slowly) getting closer to moving in!
Nice to catch up with you girls, take care xx
-
Thanks girls...all is good and am happy to say after 3 weeks i stopped bleeding...much the same time bleeding as after birth. Anyway we are going straight for it. They thought i had a polyp, then i took something i passed last saturday to the hospital appointment yesterday and they said that it looked like the sac. So they think the u/s place got it wrong. I have another u/s on the 29th to see if the ? polyp is there. Anyway I am happy and keen:)
Bec is walking almost all of the time to get around. Shes been pretty quick and lucky not to hurt herself...unlike Olivia who ended up with a bloody and bruised nose last night after running into the 4wds tyre holder....ouch. Bec is getting molars too, she has been pretty good except for last night was shocking! She hasnt slept well today either. So expectin g another crud night.
Hope everyone is well.

Hi Girls,
Mel - That's good news you have stopped bleeding. My fingers are crossed for you that you'll be pregnant very, very soon. Are you going to use the digital opk's again this month? Ouch on Olivia's nose.
Melly - Hope Sienna enjoys her outing to the tip, ha ha. Its good she gets to spend some one on one time with her dad on Saturdays. I remember not long after DD1 started walking she was going so fast and ran into DH's knee. She got a black eye. I was embarrassed going out in public with her, wondering what everyone was thinking about me. Hopefully it wont be too long before you guys are in your house.
Kate - Exciting news that you will be ttc in April, hopefully it wont take you too long. Good idea about waiting for the paid maternity leave.
Skyblue - How are things with you?
I am so tired today and have no energy. We went to some friends for dinner last night and we got home pretty late. Lucky for me the girls slept in this morning. We are going to another lot of friends for dinner tonight too. I really can't be bothered going. Just wish I could stay home and get an early night.
I still haven't told anyone apart from my mum and sister that I am pregnant.
-
Hello all, hope you are all well. Am just sitting with a cuppa tea and biscuits waiting for Rebecca to fall asleep. I can hear her banging something. Am glad Olivia sleeps through it all!
Things are going well here. The girls are finally sleeping much better and I am able to put them to bed, read a story and leave. Thats what I was always hoping for! Took a while. Rebecca is doing well walking. And climbing! She is also very vocal, she certainly wouldnt be called soft. The girls are getting along most days which is good. Bec is having one sleep and 2 milk drinks...I tried getting her off the bottle but in the morning she was refusing a cup so she has the bottle most mornings. Night time they both have a milkshake. I have the 2 hungriest kids. I am doing well. I had a speciman looked at which revealed that it was fetal tissue and not a polyp, which was also confirmed on u/s. So pretty much we can try again now, but I have no idea where my cycle is at.
Anyway, hope you are well. Must go, Becca is not settling
-
HEELLLLLOOOOO...echo echo echo.....
How is everyone? Leigh, how are you going? I have been thinking about you lately.
We are good, bec has 12 teeth now. Whats everyone up to?
-
Hi Girls,
Jeez its quiet in here lately.
Mel - I am going well. We just moved into a new house last weekend so have been very busy unpacking etc. Can't wait until everything has been unpacked. I am 16 wks 4 days pregnant now & have my caesar date booked for the 5th of July at 37 wks 4 days. I am hoping they will do it a bit sooner, like right on 37 wks coz I went into labour with both my girls at 37 +1 and 37 +2 as I am definitely not allowed to labour this time, I am constantly worried I wont make it to the hospital on time. The obs are confident that I will be fine but I still can't help but worry, but I am the biggest worry wort and worry about anything and everything all the time so I just need to stop stressing. I have my 20 wk scan booked on the 4th of March and have decided not to find out the sex. We found out with both our girls but I have always said I have wanted one surprise and this is my last chance, I am hoping to be strong and not cave in and find out.
Olivia and Bec sound like they are going really well. I have no idea how many teeth Lara has now. Everytime I put my finger in her mouth to feel she bites so I have stopped trying. She is on one sleep a day and still having milk when she wakes and before bed. She is a pretty good eater. DD1 started school nearly 2 weeks ago. I thought I would cry but I really surprised myself and didn't. I think coz she is really ready for school and had no problems when I left. She loves school and even wants to go on the weekends.
Good luck for TTC, fingers x'd it wont take long. Make sure you have the opk's ready. Can't wait to hear some pregnancy news from you.
Hi to everyone else. Hope you and your little ones are all doing well!!!
-
Hey ladies - long time!
All is well here - Bella has 12 teeth and a molar top and bottom on each side! She is walking full time now -doesnt crawl at all anymore so thats very cool!
She is back to sleeping 12 hrs over night and still has a morning sleep for about 1.5 hrs and another at abou 2pm and sleeps for 2 hrs on the dot.
I have stopped the pill now = this will be my first cycle off the pill so I want at least 2 off the pill before we "try" so that I can see what my cycle is up to. If we fall before then so be it..
Im pretty excited to be trying again.. but I also feel like I will never be able to love another bub as much as Bella.. does that make sense??
Mel - I hope you are going well and that TTC is going well! The girls sound like they are going great guns!
Leigh - wow nearly half way there! My gosh thats gone fast! I an so happy for you and I have a feeling that everything will go wonderfly!!
Bella has woken so better give her a cuddle and back to bed! Not far out of bed myself as I have not been well - getting a lot of headaches so need to get that sorted.
Love Kate

Good to hear from you...it is very quiet in here, although I do see some of you on fb...leigh are you on it?
Leigh- sounds like things are going well. Good luck with not finding out the sex. We knew with both the girls too and yes, I am a bit like you, I would like a suprise...but! Wow on dd1 starting school. Is she still 4 like your signature says or has she turned 5? We have the whole issue about sending Liv to school when she is 4 because she has her birthday in April. We have decided to hold her back a year so shes a bit older....
Kate- hope your headache gets better soon. Maybe its an adjustment from the pill? Good luck ttc, hopefully it doesnt take too long.
Us- well me! I am good. Its been 4 weeks and 1 day since I stopped bleeding. Who is counting though! My cycles were about 5 weeks so if af hasnt arrived next week, I will poas! We have been going for it like rabbits, so heres hoping....that I ovulated and caught the egg! I just want to be pregnant now, its overwhelming! I suppose the good thing about not being pregnant is I have completed the c25k challenge and can run 30 minutes straight! Will let you know
-
Hi girls,
Kate- yay for coming off the pill. Hopefully April will be your lucky month. Like what Mel said, hopefully the headaches are a side affect from not being on the pill. Lara is walking full time now too. She has a bruise under her chin at the moment, god only knows what it is from.
Mel- Cadence turns 5 in May, she's in prep this year & absolutely loves it. I actually wasn't ready for her to go to school (only coz it means she's growing up too quick ha ha) but this is the year she is meant to start prep. Lara will get to stay home a year longer than Cadence did coz she is born in Oct & everyone born after the 1st of July starts school a year later. Well that's how it works in Qld, not sure on the other states. Hopefully af will stay away & u get a positive test next week. Fingers x'd for you. My friend fell pregnant twice the very first month after both her miscarriages, hopefully you'll be lucky like her.
Gotta go. Lara & I just got home from shopping & I want her to have a sleep before we pick Cadence up from school. I also need to change my sig coz Lara is 15 months now, not 14 months like it says.
