::birthday2: Happy New Year! :confetti:
Happy 2009 everyone! Hope you all had a great xmas and ate too much.
We had a quiet one in. Spent half the night with strong pains and then had a bit of champas and panadol and felt fine :)
Chirsty - I had to work to get Ella back as well. Took me about a week. they never stay mad for long.
Jols - everything ok?
Nelly - i barely excercised with these twins. They just got so big so quickly. I've got pelvic pain too and seeing a physio on Monday to see what I can do about it.
Well the twins clinic say they're happy with my progress and I only need to go in every fortnight. Woohoo!!! We're now 30 weeks (nearly 31) and my next milestone is 32 weeks. After that they are saying they will induce me around 37wks. I was hoping to get to 38 so maybe I can talk them out of it. hehe! If i dont pop first.
Will post new pics of our big girl - Ella on the blog soon.

Glad to hear you're up and feeling good Ann! hang in there babies!!!

tara that's brilliant hun. hope that you have a lovely day with chino. x
Ann - its so good that you have got to 31 weeks.... hope you get to 37.
hi everyone else. I'm here, and about. its so damn hot at the moment... wish I could get away with running around naked like aston!
Howdy ladies. Things are quite in here.
Hope everyone one had a good xmaz/NY. My parents left yesterday, they came down for new year.
Things are ok here. My little man is due in 6 days!! Woohoo....i see me going over though. SO much for the OB's prediction of a xmaz day baby...LOL
Ann glad all is going well for you.
Hows everyone else?
Hi Ann! You sound really good and it's great to hear those bubs are staying put - but I am guessing some days it was 37wks already!
Kim I noticed your countdown on FB were you hoping he would come in 2008?
Good luck today Tara - you will have a lovely day with Chino I'm sure!
happy new year everyone - we spent an hour at the mater childrens on NYE just as we were leaving to go to southbank to watch the fireworks poor Jake started crying in agony and telling us ouch wee. SO we stripped him and his little penis was all swollen like it had a waterbomb in the middle of it. he was crying for about 5 mins when he finally settled the balloon went down and a little dribble came out. We were staying in the city so nice and close to the hospital - he basically has an irritated urethra and was holding his wee in bcos it hurt to pass. The beginnings of a uti I guess but I had visions of kidney infections etc. all good now he just has to stop using it as a piece of elastic and a toy lol.
We managed to score some free storage space downstairs in our apartment. So excited! (i know its sad but hey! i'm pregnant and starting to nest). Locksmith is coming over soon and we can move some of the cr@p that's cluttering our tiny place down there. SO EXCITING!
DH is going to clean the house today while i watch. HA! i'm going to enjoy this.
Poor Jake Nelly. A balloon in your penis sounds painful. Boys always love their "toys". :)
Ella and DH have gone downstairs to throw out the garbage together and then pick up my meds. She's such a good helper. Today she put bow tie pasta on my belly and said she wanted to give it to the twins. AWWWWWW!
Ann
I was hoping that Nelly he would come in 08 ONLY cos i had family down so they could have met him and id have had baby sitters here for the girls, they have now gone back to NSW though. But wasnt to be so ill have a Jan 09 baby instead!!
awwww Kim he didn't time it well at all then did he! Are they going to come back when he is born or is that is until easter / xmas again?
Unfortunately they cant get time off work until Easter...so we are eing VERY brave and making the drive up at the end of the month/next month with the munchikins to visit them. I think ill be crazy by the end of the trip....but flying isnt an option cos Chelsea and Jasmine alone are hard on the plane without adding a newborn too!
hmmmm the logistics of travelling with 3!!!!!! When we drove to Sydney with Jake, which was interesting enough I don't envy you w 3, we had a portable dvd player but we kept that until we were absolutely desperate - but when we needed it man was I happy we had it! Lots of stops and healthy snacks and singing songs helped too. Also we timed leaving straight after bfast wo we knew we'd get a nap a few hours into the drive for him (and a few hours peace lol). Not sure how you time naps with the 3 tho.
Naps...in a car...not existant with my girls....far to exciting to sleep!!! Cant imagine my lil man getting to much sleep seeing though Chelsea is now in the middle. She is already playing with his seat and not even in there yet. She just holds Jasmines hand all the time so thats cute.
Makes a long 12 hour drive when both are so grumpy and tired too.
good luck then - I have no advice I'm sorry!
you are game kim!! id put bubs in a sling and fly up!!!!!! couldnt do a car ride for 12hrs with 3 babies!!!
ann sooooo good to hear from you!!!!!!
nelly done anymore baking????
me having soooooo many BH its not funny, was having contractions the other night which was alittle scary!!
LOL......trust me...with my 2 on a plane its mayhem :wall:
BumbleBee should be here soon im hoping. His head is fixed which is good apprently for 3rd time mums...so all my pains have been doing me a favour.
Chelsea chucked the biggest wobbly before. Pulling my hair, kicking, screaming and crying....now ive done some thing to my back and hurts to move
take a laptop on the plane and pop a movie on!!!
midwife was surprised the other day whne she found bubs was already 3/5 engaged :o i know it can move out but going by my pains it isnt!!
You might go early Jols....Sophie was early wasnt she?
yep but not this early!!!! she was 38+4, i need another 5 weeks!! i doubt very much i will go fullterm!! having said that i just may have jinx myself
Hold on another 4/5 weeks and then little Miss or Mr can come out and say hello!
wow Jols if the first was early isn't the second usually earlier - or is that just my memory absorbing old wives tales?
Nope no more baking that urge has gone away - new urge now my sex drive has come back :redface: Poor daggles I'm either fattening him up or wearing him out ;) Give it a few weeks and it will come back, plus am feeling a bit blobby and bum heavy so no baking for a while!
We're off to Bingle Bay next xmas with 2 on a plane so am collecting entertainment ideas!
ive lost my sex drive :( last time poor DH didnt \know what was happening!!!!!! this time its dropped off :( pelvic pain does that :rolleyes:
I haven't had one since we were about 6 weeks - when the ms started. Was the same with Jake and I really didn't have much of a sex drive until I had weaned Jake (at 1). Needless to say when we got our bfp I said to daggles well no sex unless you are really lucky for the next 2 years! :rofl: He only get lucky if I happen to wake up in the middle of or at then end of one of my pregnancy porno dreams... am I the only one who has them????? Seriously I'm not some deviate....
No dreams here Nelly.
Craig is only getting some action cos i want this baby out....only time he gets alot of it.
well they get either weird or really sexy... I remember a weird one when I pg with Jake was that I gave brth to a kitten and pulled it out myself ... and then there was the recent one that a very good bb friend appeared in :redface: hmmmmm they only get this vivid when I am pg tho.
i sometimes have errotic one nelly so dont be ashamed, just not any recently!!!!!
as for kittens....................
no comment!!! :lol:
:rofl:
that's was V's response when I told her too - all she could do was laugh!!!!!
Hmm...i call my kids kittens...cos they came out of what Craigs refers to as 'My pussy cat'...LOL
each to their own :lol: ;)
that was for nelly kim!!
i hate the word pussy!! :lol:
just to change the subject from cats kittens and vaginas....
We decided to go for Indian tonight and Molly has been doing backflips since we got home! I loev a good hot lamb saagwala but not sure if bib is cheering me or dancing around the campfire cursing me!!!!
Oh we had curry.....i think everything from my mouth down is annoyed with me.... LOL
whats wrong with cats, kittens and vag's??? :lol:
we had curry wed night!! we had lamb sag and butter chicken
This is as active as ive seen this thread in weeks!!
Chelsea even ate curry tonight....it was a huge change for her....was curried snags though...maybe thats why. She looooves butter chicken however....goes crazy when i make it.
Hows the thumb stoppage going btw Jols?
SNAP JOLS THAT"S WHAT WE HAD!!!!!!
My fave is Lamb saag and DH is utter chicken with a garlic naan - yummm. A new indian has just opened near us and it is the best indian I have had in ages. Plus if you order home delivery before 6pm the del is free and you get a 10% discount.... hmmm fri night takeways night might be indian for a while!
I know Kim we have been a little quiet of late!
Well we can talk about cats kittens and vag but we may have to move into the AO room! lol Who knows where it could go!
i looooove butter chicken!!!!
thumb is going well, hasnt sucked it since monday only cos its not comfy, dropped day sleeps though!!
Oh gosh id go insane if we dropped day sleeps....but the dummy has returned cos Chelsea was sick and i needed sleep....so we gave it back. Not right i know....but she doesnt have it all the time now. At FDC she doesnt have it.
Thinking of FDC....i got Jasmine a 2nd day now too...same days at Chelsea...Tues and thurs!
well here
- there is no dummy
- there is no big girls bed (yet)
- there is no day sleep (except in the car on rare ocassions)
- there is no DTD cos i am about to leave dh and lack of trust killed my drive
- TT-ing is kind of starting, she looks so cute in knickers, this tiny little bot, but size 2-3 girls knickers are a bit big on her, where do you get smaller ones i wonder?
- bilby is now saying STAR, DOOR, THOOS for shoes, DEEZ for cheese, YOGART for yogurt, WOW, OOH NO, so a few more words than just the mumma and dadda we have been used to.
- she has taken to staring at women wearing low neck tops, as in "yummy, milk", which is quite funny to watch
- every woman is referred to as MUMMA, every man is referred to as DADDA
- she is singing the guitar riff to "smoke on the water", using a word e.g STAR over and over (instead of la la-ing it).
- footwear of choice is gumboots - i wish it would rain so she had puddles to stomp in with them. One morning she wee-ed in them! (a TT-ing practice morning).
that's pretty spooky AJP, about feeling you're going to give birth early. Was Sophie a premmie?
Kim, that's a pity your rellies won't be there for the birth. Driving with three in a months's time! you are VERY brave!
hope everyone enjoyed the Indian takeaway, guess what i feel like eating now!! you've all made me VERY HUNGRY!! ha ha.
Ann - Ella sounds so cute, best of luck with reaching your next goal (keeping the twins in for a bit longer).
Vicky - thinking of you
Nelly - you are too funny! i will never think of kittens in the same way again!!!
I think I might avoid the Indian in future... not the best night's sleep ever - I had to sleep sitting up I felt so sick and bub was hula hooping all over the place.
gigi we've got jake in the terry training pants from big w or best and less and they start at size 1.
gotta go have a whingey one - he's been up since 4.30am must be sleep time soon!
Well i had an interesting night.
Went to bed around 11pm not feeling the best. Stomach was aching and i felt like i was going to vomit. At 1230 i flung the covers back and ran to the loo, only just making it.
From then on i had what im sure were contractions lasting til 6am...i never slept a wink. Then CHelsea came in at 630 and i was once again up vomitting and in so much pain.
Craig got up with her and i tried resting to see if things would go away. Its now just after 11am, the pains have gone but my stomach is so sore and bub isnt moving a great deal.
So maybe the RLT before bed, DTD in the arvo and the Curry for tea wasnt a good idea either :(
well my baby girl is 13 today.... oh my. We are going out to dinner tonight - just girls. Laura has two friends coming, and the rest are women that are important in her life. I have very strategically placed women in Laura's life that add value and experience to her life. I think there will be about 12 of us altogether.Dinner tonight is to celebrate her arrival into the next stage in her life - that of teenager. We are going to italian restaurant in Mooloolaba.
Aston was very helpful opening Laura's presents with her - funny boy. And Nathan very graciously vaccumed Laura's bedroom for her this morning.
The dummy is still at our house :( On christmas eve when we were supposed to leave it out for santa, I was too busy negotiating with my tantruming daughter for an hour and half - so it kind of went by the wayside... oh well. Aston is intermittenly using the potty, loves wearing undies lol. We have a star chart, that he gets to put a sticker on the chart, and a sticker for him. He loves it. But I'm not making too big a deal about it. He has only just turned two. The fact that he even goes as often as he does I think is big. I'm not ready to venture out into the outside world without a nappy on him yet. I remember feeling really stressed with the whole toilet training saga with Laura, and took a completely different approach with Nathan - it was far less stressful. Don't let anyone pressure you into training your child to use the toilet. Its not a race.
What else is going in my world... too much - but I'm doing ok. Has anyone seen that movie Catch Me if You Can? in it there is a scene where the father tells his son about two mice that are each stuck in a jug of milk. One mice desperately clambers about trying to get out, exhausting itself in the process, and drowns. The other treads water/milk, turning it to butter, once he has a solid foundation under his feet, he is able to get out of the jug. So right now, I'm making butter. :)
Hope everyone had a great christmas and New year, and that 2009 brings you all love light and laughter. xxxx
