Hi ladies...all the boys are sleeping so am going to try to catch up :)
Rach Hope your little man is ok wiht his op :( Poor bubba! Hope you find out about the fluid retention soon and bummer for AF coming back! I only got mine back at the end of last year and had 3 afs then fell wiht Flynn lol!
DM do I have you on FB? I am sending you lots of hugs and love..i have no idea how hard it would be to loose your dad but just want you to know I am here for you. You really should have a pap smear my love sorry am being a bit mummy like here but they are so important...the ob has seen it all before and its deosnt hurt.
FI so glad Leila is a happy bub I love the santa pic!
Lj hun Just read your birth story your did so well hun and he is gorgeous xxx
Stevie hugs hun vent away! :hug:

Well I have a fatty here...Flynn is now 5.6kgs! Not sure how long the hcn only weighed him...he is so good ...sorry I dont want to make anyone feel bad but Myles was so hard when he was a baby I get so excited that Fylnn is good lol!
Myles decided he wouild pick Flynn up while i was in the loo and i came out to Flynn on the tiled floor crying..have no idea if he dropped him or placed him down..I feel like such a bad mum :( Poor Myles got a smack cause i was in shock...we dont smack so I felt even worse :(

Wel lovelis kisses and hgs to you all xxx

firstly what is with this stoopid way of replying :doh:

boomba : boats away I dont think anyone begrudges you being joyous over all the good things the bubbas do :) dont be too hard on yourself we all do things liek that when in shock I hope Flynn is AOK and little Myles understands you didn't mena to smack you just were in shock, I am worried about jack picking luke up he hasn't tried to as yet, but if luke is in swing or on the mat and I need to shower or go to toilet I take jack with me :lol: or make him talk to me the hwole time :lol: anyway :hug:

well have to have a echo cardiogram of my heart am booked in for the 22nd should get it done sooner but trying to work out how to get to rocky or gladstone with both boys alone to get this done is torture so have worked it out mum will be at my sisters in boyne which is 20min from gladstone so will get it done in gladstone pick mum up and she can watch boys while i get it done, big day for boys and I 2hrs each way but has to be done :rolleyes:

Well, all 4 of us have been suffering with a cold in our household - thankgod we are over the worst of it. Horrible to listen to little Jasper snuffling at night.... Lucky for him he was able to sleep through most of it (unlike me :rolleyes:). Then yesterday DH got a small peice of metal stuck in his eye which needed immediate surgery. Thankfully it all went well and his vision was not impaired at all.

Don't feel bad about the smack Boomba. We dont smack DS1 either, but the other day I snapped - he KNOWS we don't like him throwing food on the ground, and usually I take him out of his highchair and put him in his room for 5 when he does it, but this time he held up the food, gave me a cheeky smile and then threw the food over his shoulder. We have a serious ant problem too which makes it SO much worse. I think I was about as shocked as he was after I smacked him.... :o I hope your little Flynn is ok.

Sorry for the lack of personals... never get enough time on here!!

Going to read your BS now LJ....;) I will eventually get around to finishing mine!

JB hope you are all feeling better. I got a cold when Leila ws about 2 weeks old thanks to silly MIL staying with us for a week when she was very sick wtih a cold :rolleyes: Then Leila got it and it was awful listening to her being all blocked up and snuffling - I was really worried but thankfully it wasn't too bad. It must have been awful for all of you to have it so I hope everyone is now recovering well

Boomba 5.6kg! Great news :dance:

DM :o go and get a pap smear!! They are not that bad at all, I've had heaps and now they don't bother me at all ;) They don't hurt and are just so important to have at least once every 2 years. I look forward to reading that you have finally had one!!

I look forward to reading all of your birth stories soon but at the moment I'm just not ready, sorry I know that must sound ridiculous :redface: I've really struggled to come to terms with my emergency c-section as it was a little scary but mostly I wanted desperately to avoid having one and for some silly reason I now find it difficult to read about births... I'm hoping I can resolve these feelings soon as I would love to know what sort of experiences you all had.

Oh aren't our DH's funny little characters.... mine decided he would help with the night feeds seeing it is the weekend, so I expressed and he did the middle of the night feed for me, usually around 3ish. Well - he hasn't stopped complaining about it has he?! And he has slept pretty much all afternoon from sheer exhaustion apparently :rolleyes: Yet another reason why men don't have babies :lol:

Hope everyone is doing well and had a nice weekend

Fi :D

Sorry Rach75 meant to wish you well for your cardiogram. Sounds a little scary so I hope it all goes well :crossfingers:

Fi - I'm the same about the births... I don't feel traumatised as such about my emergency CS but I still get sad/disappointed when I read birth stories that all go so beautifully... it's put a spanner in the works regarding my doula work I tell ya!

Rach hope everything goes well hun :hug: Wish I was closer I would have elped you out with the kids.
Jellybean sounds like your all in the wars hope your all better soon! :hug: thanks heaps for the reaasurance about the smack I still feel terrible :(But he hasnt picked him up again thank goodeness!
Fi oh hun I was the same last birth...my was not what i wanted and i didnt even write a birth story..this time went better so I didwrite one...dont feel bad about what happened you did an amazing job :hug: ..oh and DHs...well mine is a shocker...he is a shift workir so leaves at midnioght most nights but sleeps solidly for 6 hours or so before hand and he whines he is tired after i ahve been up wiht both kids pffft men hahah!

:hello: To anyone I have missed...been busy here being a milking machine lol...I had to express saturday night cause F wouldnt wake and i managed to get 22omls out of one boob :o so its in the fridge for M to have as I dont have any teats small enough for F.
Had the santa photos done too...F screamed the whoel time M was good so at least he is smiling :)

Anyway hope your all well xxx

Fi - :rolleyes: what is it with men, grrr. Don't worry mine is the same. Oh keep forgeting to ask, where in the hunter are you?? We should meet up one day with our 2 girls :dance:

Jelly bean - Hope you all get well asap!!! Sounds like your family is in the wars hun.

Rach - Good luck for the 22nd hun.

AFM- well miss Evangeline has been sleeping way to much of a night and giving me a heart attack, grrrr. I put her down around 7.30 - 8pm and she's been sleeping till 4am :( the first night she did it, i slept till then to. but i then shook her when i realised the time.
We also had our mummys group xmas party today. It was a great day, love spending time with my beautiful friends :D
Question - whats everyone getting their bubs for christmas???

Aww Rach thats great she is sleeping so much but it is kinda scary...I continually check Flynn when he sleep long periods :hug: I will probably get Flynn something small like a lovely teddy and some books and maybe some of his own clothes so he doesnt have to wear hand me downs all the time :)

hi ladies,
i know i idnt check in for my vent, after i cooled down i realised how silly i was being, so im glad i didnt do a big write up about it you girls would have tought i was shocking LOL>
Fi: im so sorry your birth didnt go as planned, but you did do an amazing job you brought a gorgeous healthy baby into the world and that is the main thing, Boomba i am like you i didnt have a birth plan, purely coz i was lazy and thought i had more time, the MW kept asking me a bunch of qustions and i kept telling her i didnt know as i hadnt written one up it was far to hard to labour and think at the same time.
Boomba: how exciting about the santa photos, i so wana get A some santa photos but DH isnt keen, might just do it with MIL while he's away ;)
Rach2281: i bet it has scared the crap out of you everytime She has slept through, i hope this doesnt come across wrong but everytime i think of Sids or when i get a fright with A when she sleeps for too long, i always think of you and what you went through with Lilli, you are an amazing person, to go through what you have been through and still be so strong, my hat goes off to you sweetness.

AFM: like all you ladies DH has been driving me mad, it just feels like he's not being very helpful, we have a few issues, and later on when i have more time i will go into it a little further (not too far coz i dont want to bore you ladies to death LOL) A is doing amazing, she truelly is what i live for, she blows me away everyday how gorgeous she is and i still cant believe we created such an amazing little cherub. she has her 2 month needles this week, im nto looking forward to it at all :(
I got my hair cut on friday made me feel a million times better :) im getting my eyes tested again so i will be wearing my glasses again next week, i didnt wear them the whole time i was pregnant coz my eyes changes the dr said not to get new glasses til after i had her coz they would change again lol.

i cant really remember who lives close to me, any of you ladies live near the sunny coast, im going mad DH doesnt want me to join a mums group which im a little upset about, i really would love to meet some new mums with bubs around A's age.
anyway off to bath my darling.
have a good night
xxx

Stevie hun I am in brisbane and if you wanted to meet up one day I dont mind driving up to visit! Hair cuts always make you feel better :) Dont worry about your DH it will get better...well I hope it does mine can still get cranky sooky and drive me insane...lucky i ahve the boys to keep in check :) Wehn Ds1 hadhis first christmas DH and I were in the photo too ...its awful of me and i hate looking at it but its special too...get one of A you will regret not getting it! :hug: x

Hey ladies!
Well I got to my breaking point the other night.Lucy was up 14hrs crying with 3min naps. She was in complete pain. Im not one for medicine so tried some Braun(sp) wind relief stuff, didn't make any difference. So in the morning I rang my back doctor as I had a convo with him about how he helps babies etc etc...... Ill never look back! My baby is smiling flat out and SLEEPING!!!! She she'll co sleep after waking during the night but thats just what my babies do ;)
Pap smear.....not done...yet! Ill call the womens clinic tomorrow and have a chat about my fears. They'll put me at ease hopefully!

boomba- Thanks :) Its very hard as he was/ is my best friend. We're truly close. Even now trough death we have a stronge conection:)
OMG Im so scared of Annabelle picking up Lucy. She has tried many times infront of me, scares me to think behind my back! Well done little man on the weight gain! We dont smack but when it comes to hurting themselves or eachother I dont have another reaction yet either. Dont feel bad, though I agree I always do after:rolleyes:

Rach75- My god keep us updated! Good luck!

fi1980- Men are shocking! They do one thing that we do on a regular basis and they are GOD for a week afterwards :rolleyes: Hope you can move past your c/s I dont think you're they only one feeling like that ;)

rach2281- Mabye Eva's joints are way out of wack like Lucy's were??? Im not all for getting babies chiroed but I cant lie. It worked! They dont crack them. My Doc just worked with Lucy's preasure points. For xmas NO IDEA!

Stevie W- Join a playgroup! It saved my life when I 1st had Annabelle! Y doesn;t he want you to join a mothers group?

Hi everyone!!

Some of you I already know from our Belly Buddies group but then my DS decided to make his grand entrance 2 months early so things went just a bit cuckoo after that!

Anyone - because with a prem you're always working with 2 ages (see my ticker) as far as gauging developmental progress, etc, I figure I'm going to stalk both this group and the September 1 one so between the both of them I'll hopefully be able to sort things out!

I'm a bit slack lately at posting long replies - not because I don't want to but because I'm dealing with a few major personal things at the moment, DS is seriously windy every 2nd day and I've been fighting a pretty bad cold for the past week, but I'll do my best to keep up with everyone so please bear with me for a bit.

Will be back in a bit later tonight to catch up on this one from the beginning, but hope everyone enjoyed their Sunday night -

S xo
