gigi the movie was awesome!!!! i didnt ever really wathc the series but the movie was great!!!

[christy]

Hi girls... just thought I'd start a new one for us, so no one else had too.

Gigi, so does bilby sleep at all during the day? We get 1 hour max at home from Jovie, if we are lucky. Last night though she was so cranky & tired & said "BED!!!" it was only 6.30 and we didn't believe her but she went to bed! Poor sausage, we were keeping her up. She is generally awake until 8.30pm and DH has to put her to bed otherwise it takes ages.

Jovie's a bit sick atm. She's got green snot, sore tummy.... so no idea if what I had was the same thing but affected me differently or what.

Jols, I hope you had a great night out!

Tara you too!! I think it would be hilarious to go to that party & just see you, preggo & pimped up.

Jols have you tested again today??

Lana do you still have your preggie feelings?

Gigi Chelsea always sleeps 2-4 hours a day (in the arvo) when she is at home....at day care its 1 hour max cos she has to much fun and doesnt want to miss anything! Hows Bilbys sleep going now? Also...what does she eat for them people to be interigating you? Some kids just dont want to eat food...
Ask Jasmine...she still wont eat....granted she is 7.5 months old...but food is the last thing on her mind!

Christy how is Jovie feeling today?

Hi Vicky!!

Well some good news for us this morning. IL's have offered to take the girls for a WEEK at the start of December.....so will be nice time for Craig and me to have some time out before our household expands to 5 the following month!!

[Olive]

wow a whole week kim!!! enjoy those sleep in's!!!!!

havent tested had a few spots of bleeding last night and assumed it was AF appearing but niothing since, will test tomorrow DH wont let me today!!!

**post editted***

kim how do you get the greenlight not to come on even if your online?

hi vicky!!

christy how are you feeling now? hows jovie today?

[visitor1]

Awww stay away AF.....damn DH not letting u test!!

Sleeps in will be great..the last few days however we have slept in til 9am!

Green light off...in profile you get set to show you offline all the time....go into 'Edit options' then 'use invisible mode'.

IGNORED....yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep Jasmines baby thread..i made a post in regards to being missed all the time....ive had nothing but problems in there since pregnancy..so i have decided once and for all not to return. I dont feel welcomed in there and i get so down reading whats going on, but they never respond when i post in there how my girls are....granted i dont go in often cos i never have much to contribute other then i have a top sleeper and she is feeding well (milk wise not solids), thats all she does so i cant show off her liek they all can.

I think its sad but thats life. This is the only thread i feel wanted and loved....i love you girls to much!!

[taralee]

Hey guys!
Party was good, will post a pic on facebook since i can never get the gallery to work on here for some reason.
All else seems to be well.
Managed to get evie to go back to sleep in her own bed last night, took 1.5 hours but she finally got it - i'm trying to break this habit of 'into mummy and daddy's bed at 1230 EVERY night'. so hopefully she'll get back into her good sleep routine.
I'm off to see SATC in about an hour...feel guilty for leaving evie so long but i figure that once the new baby comes i dont think i'll be getting out much then either!
Having quite a few panicky/mixed emotions about arrival of new baby but i'm sure a lot of it is hormones.
Kim - a 4 hour day sleep is like a dream! how did she sleep that night?
Christy - sorry to hear that Jovie's not well is your belly feeling better?
Jols - i dont know how you're managing to hold off from testing! hope it's pos for you..lol we do seem to be a group of breeders in here.
better go get ready...bbl

Jols. IKWYM... when I was in TTC with Jovie there were times that I felt like no one listened to me. I would ask a question a few times & no one would answer me. Often in other threads where I pop in and someone is asking for advice & I give it, thats when I feel ignored the most.

At the same time though.. I'm terrible at personals and don't get everyone in, even though I think about everyone.

Tara, can't wait to check out your piccy.

JJ is still a bit yuck. She's extremely clingy and whingy today... no temp which is good. DH has come down with stomach cramps... and its the end of the world.

[Olive]

thanks guys christy thats what i hate as well, someone asked for a ? i responded then someone else says the same thing and thet=y get thanked and i get ignored.
i hear you on men getting sick the world caves in here!!

tara the SATC movie is awesome i loved it!! glad you had a great night last night!!

thanks kim!! ive never felt ignored before but i often cant be bothered writing an essay to get personals done like others can, guess its my problem/fault!

ETA did the invisible thing and the spot is red, am i the only one who can see that??

[tiggerandpooh]

Hi my lovelies...

I just came home from visiting a friend her had her baby yesterday. I just ached when I was holding this little 18hour old little girl. Nathan had to have a cuddle too, god love him. I asked him why he loved cuddling babies, and he said "becuae it makes me feel happy inside." isn't that beautiful?

Fingers crossed Jols that the spotting was implantation bleeding! don't worry about feeling ignored. I rarely post anywhere but here... and my blog now. we love ya.

Christy - are you feeling any better? hope JJ is feeling better soon. Aston has had this cough thing going on. only in the night... i'm starting to think it might be asthma...

gigi - good luck at the feeding thing. I'm so sorry to hear things aren't going to well with DP. I have been wondering how you are as you haven't been around much - for what seems obvious reasons now. relationships are so hard aren't they - even harder once you throw a child into the mix, and add to that a blended (god I hate that term) family!!

taralee - looking forward to seeing you as a pregnant ho lol... was it a good party? very jealous about you going to see SATC... I really want to see it too, and think its a movie to see with girlfriends. organising doing that will be a mission, so i dont think i will be seeing it at the movies...

Kim - a whole week!!!! I'm extremely jealous of that. I am hoping that my girlfriend will come and stay for a weekend with my kids so that rich and I can have a weekend away. btw I'm sorry about your mum and sister too.

Blanche - how you doing hun? hope you have settled into your new abode.

Ann - DH finished that course yet? are you TTC?

Nelly - hidey ho girlfriend.

Lara - are you still feeling pregnant?

I have had my neice here this weekend. and have gone through a gamet of emotions - not with her, but about her stupid mother - my stupid sister! all I want to do is keep her, foster her, adopt her... anything but let her live with her mother. sigh.

we have had a lovely weekend though, just being... played scrabble, girls cooked, i help louise with her cooking assignment for highschool, the three kids went off on a big walk with a dog yesterday afternoon, with the walky talkys and had lots of fun.

DH went back to the specialist on friday, and will be having an operation, will know date next week, but it will be soon. He is anxious and stressed about it. hospitals trigger him, he spent 4months as a kid in one, and then watched his mother die in one, so all these emotions are coming up for him - and he is fairly unbearable to be around...why is it so hard for men to say "I'm feeling scared about all of this"?????

[Olive]

OMG you guys are the first to know



































I JUST GOT A !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IM PREGNANT!!!

[visitor1]

Surprisingly 830pm Chelsea went back to bed and was alseep by 9 the day she had her 4 hour nap!

Vicky....my sis and mum are getting worse...it wont end...so ive given up hope and dont bother trying to speak normally to them.

Jols you will see a red spot when ever you are online....to us we see a purple/blue dot, where as if you were online and not invisible it would be green!

CONGRATS JOLS!!!!!

[christy]
