Babies Born November 16th-30th 2008 #2

Hey All,

Just a quick one before bed!
Happy Birthday to all the bubs!! We have Bellas party on Sunday arvo - she is 1 on the 8th! Not long now! I cant belive she is nearly 1! Better get cracking on the 2nd lol!

Bella is still a bit hit and miss with waking in the night - she did last night but hasnt for a week or so - I dont really mind - I think I am just used to less sleep these days so it doesnt phase me that much!!

Bella has 8 teeth and I can feel a lump and I think a molar is coming!! Manybe not but thats what it feels and she has been tugging at her ears alot and dribbling again like crazy! Time will tell.

Bella is now on all cows milk! yay No more formula!! Its great and sooooo much cheaper and she is going reallay well with it. She only have a bottle in the morning and one after tea b4 bed most days unless she has one over night. She loves food and is eating what ever we have now - like my mums lamb roast tonight!!

Well thats about it!!

Mellissa = cant wait to hear when you test!!

Hey to all and hope you are all well!!

Kate

Hi girls, I am 9dpo....and I havent tested yet! Af is due on Saturday. So i'll see how I go!

Skye...where abouts do you live? Your work is on the other side of the city if I remember rightly. Yuck on leaving that early. Sure that would be great if you could send me the web site. I have kind of forgotten about working with birthdays and christmas coming up! However I will have to do some to keep up my nursing rego.
As for the bottles, we are on full cows milk coz Miss Rebecca is a good eater so I dont see the need to have her on formula. We are hit and miss with the bottles, some days she will have 2 some days 4... shes still up for a feed most nights. I was planning on cutting her bottles out by her 1st b'day but I am too reliant on them to help her nod off! I got Olivia off bottles at 2yrs. She was probably having 2 a day then, but as soon as I stopped her having a bottle, her appetite dramatically increased! I have to get on to the bottle issue soon! Not in a hurry though.

Kate- bec is getting her molars, the two bottom ones. Shes been tugging away at her ears and chewing her fingers. Shes so irritable, so much so my neighbours were going to come over and save me!!! I got there first though!

Leigh I have to do the xmas shopping too before the girls finish day care otherwise Olivia will want it now! We are getting a few small pressies and hoping to get a big wooden cubby house off ebay.
Take care

Hi girls,

Glad to hear everyone is going well!

Mel - fingers crossed for you hon!!

Leigh - I've got most of Sienna's Christmas pressies. Because we were hoping to be in our new home by chrissy, I've bought her stuff for the yard: a swing, a sandpit/ballpit and a wading pool. I also have some books for her, and no doubt I'll buy some clothes btw now and chrissy :rolleyes: :lol:
But I'm totally unorganised for everyone else - think I'll be doing the whole gift voucher option this year - not enough time in the day!!

Kate - hope Bella's party goes really well!! You'll have to post some piccies on facebook!

Sienna still has just the five teeth, whenever she has an unsettled night, I'm sure she's going to wake up with another one, but nup, not yet.

She's started walking on her own, only in short bursts, but I'm so proud!! I actually surprised myself by getting a bit teary when she took her first steps, I'm not usually an emotional kinda girl, but it really hit me that our lil' bubs are growing up!!

As for the bottles, Sienna is on full cow's milk but still having three bottles a day. I've no idea what the recommendations are for her age, but I need to take her for her 12 month checkup soon so I'll look into it further then. She had her shots last week, poor little thing was so brave!! I was at work so hubby took her along with some support from his mum, lol. Not a pleasant experience, but ya gotta do it!!

We're all clear from chickenpox too!! Woo hoo, we escaped it (altho part of me is thinking that it would have been betta to get it all over and done with early, but it was such bad timing with Sienna's b'day party etc etc).

So yep, we're all good here. Put up the chrissy tree yesterday - will be interesting working out how to keep Lil' Miss Busyfingers away from that, but hey, all part of the fun!!

Take care all, sorry for anyone I missed in personals xx

Hey all,
Happy Birthdays to all the little bubs...Willow's party went well (combined with our Christmas party there were about 70 odd people so it was a bit huge, but lots of fun).
Smoz- a catch up would be great, PM me when you want to line something up (I don't think I have your number still).
Miss W still not walking but pulling herself up a lot more. Both her feet are turned out like a ballerina when she stands so guess that once she starts pointing her feet forward she might start walking. DD1 didn't walk till 17mths so not too worried yet. Though we do have a lot of ongoing issues with DD1's development and off to see a Developmental Paed tomorrow for some more assessments...seems to have been a year of full on running around just trying to work out what is going on, will be good to get some answers eventually.
Good luck Mel. :crossfingers:
Best get back to the housework...about the only time that I can tackle it is after all have gone to bed :(
Cheers
Jo

Melissa - Bella now has a white lump in her gum and im pretty sure that I can see the top of the molar coming through!! Poor bub - she is so good tho - I have only had to give her neurofen 2ce. TEST NOW!! LOL!
I will be sure to post pics on FB pf Bellas party!!

I forgot to say the other day that Bella took 2 steps by her self on sat night and another 2 today!! Plus she can stand now by herself for a few seconds before reaching for somthing!! Its all heading towards walking! I was hoping she would walk before her b'day but never mind!!

My dad bought a new swing set and swimming pool and sand pit for Bellas birthday so there will be pleanty for the kids to do!!

Better go and do some cleaning - I know what you mean Jo - hard to do when they are awake!!

Kate

Hey all....just an update from me.....I AM PREGNANT:)

Early days yet....actually af was due today but got my first bfp on Thursday. Makes me due mid August.
FOR THOSE ON FACE BOOK.....PLEASE DONT MENTION IT:)

Other than that we are all good! Hope you are all well.

:dance::dance::dance: Congratulations Melissa!!! Fantastic news, I had a feeling this month would be your month. I am so excited for you. And just think, you were going to take a month off from ttc, lucky you didn't. Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy & fingers crossed its a boy!

Thanks Leigh...I know, isnt it funny how it works. We were determined to take this month off and not get utd! I think it really was about having another birthday around the 21st july....its dhs, then our nieces the day before, then a few friends a few days later! Then I had a good think about it and my cycles are longer, so I wont be due til mid August....and I went 7 days early with Olivia and 10 days early with Bec......so if it follows, early August! Am happy with that! I dont have morning sickness, no sore boobs...just tiredness and vagueness! Oh and another positive htp today....just coz I have nothing better to do that pee on a stick....just to make sure!

CONGRATS MEL!!! Thats awesome news! Im so blooming jelous!!!
Hope you have a happy & healthy 9 months!! YAY

Also

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY ISABELLA!!! Mummy loves you so much!!!!

CONGRATS MEL!!!!!

AWESOME NEWS!!!

Hope all goes well for you - I'll zip my lip on Facebook!

And:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABELLA!!!!

Hope you guys have a lovely day celebrating this special time!!!

xxxx

Happy Birthday Bella for yesterday. Hope you had a fantastic day!!!

Mel - Hope the morning sickness stays away for you. Did you have it with your girls? The 21st of July is my dad's b'day, plus I know heaps of ppl born around the same time so I would've been in the same boat as you if I were ttc. How did you go with timing your DTD for a boy? Anyone else going to start trying soon???

Leigh its a busy time for us too...luckily my cycles are longer, so i have ovulated later and...yeah! As for the m/s, i had nausea with the girls and sore boobs. I have niether now! Just tired. As for the timing we dtd the night of the positive opk and the following morning...then that day it was negatibe again...so hopefully its a boy....but am happy for a healthy baby.

Yes...anyone else?

Thanks ladies for all your b'day wishes for Bella! she had a lovely day and our house in now sponsored by Fisher-Price! She got soooo many pressies at her party and they ALL make noises!! LOL

We are going to start TTC in April next year so that will come around fast I wouls imagine! Im so excited about it! I wanna start now - but we need to wait as I would like to take advantage of the governments paid maternity scheme that starts 2011 - as I work for a private company and I barely have any AL now either because I only work 2 days a week.

Not much news from me!

Hope eveyone is well!!

Kate

Yay Mel, Congratulations!! So thrilled for you! Can't remember if I already asked but will you find out the sex? Please tell us! lol, just kidding , I guess you don't have to :P

Kate, happy birthday to gorgeous little Bella. :D Sounds like she got loads of new toys! April isnt far away at all! That would be a great age gap I think :)

On the TTC it is weird. Before I had Mia I was so clucky, I was in tears alot because hubby wasnt ready to TTC but I was. It was all consuming, it was the only thing I wanted and thought about. But now, I'm so happy and thrilled with my little girl, Im not clucky at all! Which is so strange, I thought I would be. I wonder when I will get clucky again? And to be honest Mia has always been a crap sleeper so I dont want to go back to that again just yet! lol

Luckily she is only waking once a night now, which is a massive improvement. She was waking every 4 hours for the first year. I need to catch up on sleep, lol!

Hey,

Mel - congratulations to you on your pregnancy, wonderful news, can't wait to hear about all your pregnancy stages and how you are going, amazing, it only seems like yesterday we were all going through it, I can't get over how quick this past year has gone.

Kate - Happy first birthday to Bella, sounds like she had an awesome day.

Skyeblue - we are still having crap sleep here...argh.....so I am in no hurry for another one at the moment :) As I type Finn has woken up again, third time in an hour and a half......

Well it was our little man Finn's birthday last Monday, 7th Dec, we went out on Puffing Billy, a steam train that goes out to the Dandenongs, both the kids loved it and it was a great family day out.

I am loving Christmas, Rylee, my little three year old is just so excited and I love seeing the excitement on her little face, this is the best year yet.

Okay, hello to everyone, nearly off to bed for me.

L xxx

Thanks girls, alls good here. I am only 5 weeks pregnant and dont have much symptoms at all! Will probably find out what flavour baby we have, but will see how we go. We tried to time it for better chance of a boy, but am happy with either. Dh is already calling it a girl!

Happy 1st birthday to Bella and Finn. Hope they had a great day.

Laurin, I know what you mean about Christmas. This year I am really getting into it because Olivia knows and is so excited. She will be 3 next April so its just started to click. Becca just pulls he decorations off the tree!

We still have crap nights here, between Rebecca teething...she got her first molar through and Olivia toilet training over night....its a little crazy! I dont mind so much coz I have no choice and it will end...then start again with #3!!

Skye- I think we were at a point were things were good and we said to ourselves we could do it again...plus I have a ticking time clock called age, so always knew that we would have ours one after the other because I dont want to be much older and popping out bubs iykwim! Hope that makes sence, am a little brain dead from a late night!

Mel I totally understand! If I was older, I would have another close in age, but at 28 I figure I have plenty of time, and I only want one or two more. Glad to hear you are feeling well, hope it stays that way for you :) Hope the sleeping gets better, it's a killer huh.

Booboo hope your sleep improves now. Is your DD a good sleeper? Happy birthday to Finn, sounds like an awesome day!

ok, Im off to work now, yuck. Have a great day all

Hi girls,

Just a quick one from me...

Mel - glad to hear all is going well for you - so very exciting.
I'm with Skyblue, Sienna was a crap sleeper until she was 11 months old so no more for me in a hurry. Altho now that she is sleeping well, I do find that I'm getting slightly clucky. But at the moment, she is so much fun and such a joy to be with, that I'm happy just to focus on her for awhile. (Hmm, I'm sounding a little unsure there aren't I, hee hee)

Kate - glad to hear Bella's party went well!! I hear ya on the toys - I haven't even unpacked half of Sienna's presents as I'm waiting to move into our (much bigger!!) house!

She's off and walking now, and she's an independent little creature, not interested in holding hands at all, she wants to do it all on her own. She's finally got some more teeth, two more at the top. Sleep is still good most nights, touch wood. She's pretty funny with the whole Christmas scene, she keeps walking past the tree saying "pretty" and "ball" (for baubles), and I've had to put all the pressies up on a shelf to keep them away from Miss Busyfingers.

We've had heaps of dramas with our house so definitly won't be in by Chrissy, more like mid-Jan to early-Feb *sigh* but we're getting there.

Anyways, I'm sure I'll be back before Chrissy - hope everyone's Chrissy shopping is done, and you're not too stressed!! Take care xx

Hi Girls,

Just popping in to wish you and your families a very Merry Xmas. We're off to Melbourne tomorrow to spend Xmas with my family. DD1 flew down today with my mum, then tomorrow DH, Lara and I will fly down. DH doesnt finish work until midnight tonight. I'm a bit worried how Lara will cope on a 3 and a half hour flight. She wont like being strapped to my lap for so long. I am hoping she'll sleep for at least half the trip, wishful thinking I know! I probably wont be back online until we get home, which will be around the 2nd of Jan.

Sorry it has been a bit of a me post but I have to get back to packing, I hate packing.

Take care and I hope you all have a lovely day on Xmas day!

Merry Chrustmas everyone for friday and have a happy and safe new year.
As some of you know, I started bleeding on Sunday, scan revealed not a lot and my hcg levels arent rising like normal. Just waiting for thursday for another blood test to see if I am actually really miscarrying. So thats my news. I am feeling good otherwise.

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!

Just popping in very quickly to say Mel, Im so sorry to hear your news :( I hope you're ok hunxx

and CONGRATS LEIGH!! woohooo!! I hope you will feel better about the preg soon, I can understand why you are nervous, but I'm sure it will be ok this time hun xx


Ok, be back soon, hope everyone is well xxx

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.

Leigh they have to be turning 5 before 30th April here in VIC....so she will be one of the oldest because we are keeping her back a year and also rebecca will start the following year!

Yeah up here they have to turn 5 by the 30th June. It's amazing how it varies in each state.
