Hi everyone a bit new to this but thought i would pop in and say HI.
My gorgeous DD AVA is 10mths today and has just started crawling.
The lazy girl has been sitting since 5mths and hasn't wanted to do anything else but try and pull herself up from sitting position to the couch... cheeky but she is finally on the move.
I would love to get to know people with little ones the same age as Ava and see whats happening out there.
I am also pregnant with #2, finding out on Monday as to what he/she will be, all VERY SCARY but these things happen.
We are also waiting to see if we can get a home loan, we have a block of land on hold 1/4 acre which will be nice and have a house design picked.
Well as i said would love to meet some new people and chat about our gorgeous little ones, sorry no personals haven't had a chance to read through everything.
Welcome to our mad little corner of BB avasmum!! I'm Amy and my little Bethany will be 10mths on the weekend. At the moment my hands are pretty full being a mum to her and she will remain our only due to pretty serious complications with her birth but go you ladies who have more I don't know how you do it!!
Hey gals.....if you thought things couldn't get worse after the swine flu fiasco check out my thread in platium members.... I am running away....a long way away!!
thanks amy_o sorry to hear you had complications but i'm sure you love your little Bethany with all your heart, congrats on her nearly being 10mths.
I am not sure how i escaped without complications with Ava but everything happens for a reason i guess and #2 wasn't part of our plan so early, i think i'm nuts going back so quickly... lol
Feel free to read about Ava's birth in the birth stories forum, it's called Ava's Unexpected Breach Homebirth.. an interesting read if i say so myself, would love to hear how everyone elses went and if your over it yet?
Think towards the end with #2 i am going to be very paranoid.
Can't wait to get to know everyone and once i am a member can share pics of my little angel etc.
Hi Avasmum. Welcome. I'm Tanya and my daughter Maya will be 10 months on Monday. Where abouts in Victoria are you? Wow and pregnant with a second. I'm not ready yet for a second one. I'm still recovering from the pregnancy. I'll check out your birth story when I get a spare second. It's sad but I never wrote a birth story for Maya. I was so upset about having to have a c/s.
amy - Good to hear the flu is over. I'll have a look at your thread when I find the time. Getting on the puter is hard at the moment with DH home sick.
MM - Love the new avi. Welcome back.
belfie - How's X? Over his cold yet?
Sami - Love your new avi too. And yes it looks like the panda is wearing the tiara. Thanks for the reminder than if I swapped to FF she might still just take little amounts. So when do you start work?? Is it next week?? Sounds like Z is doing well at child care.
Georgi - Hi!
Amanda - Hope your kids are better now.
csab - How's V? I hope she's well.
Hello to everyone else I missed.
Maya and my DH both seem to be doing better. Maya is still very miserable though and not sleeping well. I wish I could make it all better for her. Had a bad day with her yesterday so I'm hoping today is better. Gosh I'm so over it though. Wish I had a holiday to look forward to after all this. I need a break. Been doing everything by myself while they've both been sick. Plus having to care for them. I just hope my DH stays well now. The scan showed one stone moved into his bladder, which is why he probably feels better now. But the other stone is still in his kidney. Fingers crossed he just keeps getting better.
I'm sposed to be having a girls night out tomorrow night (dinner and movie). I was sooo looking forward to it. But now think I should cancel it. *sigh*
*Tanya* - thanks #2 wasn't exactly part of the plan but oh well only hope the next is as well behaved (generally) as Ava
Maya is a gorgeous name and i hope your Dh is ok, i had gallstones and they were a killer, had them removed then went back into hosp for a 6 day stay cos one cheeky little one decided to stay in, lost my milk was so annoyed had to stop B/F Ava.
I'm out in Doreen, used to be in Avondale Heights but moved 2 days before Ava was born, i wasn't going to do Ava's birth story but a friend told me i should, so i gave it a go... it's not too late!
Avasmum#1 - I love the name Ava too. We couldn't use it though cos it's my niece's name. I feel like I don't have anything to say about Maya's birth since it was a c/s. What's your name?
amy - I can't read your other post cos I'm not a platinum member.
*Tanya* - my name is Leah, i think you could still write about your experience up until the C/S and how you felt directly afterwards etc. I haven't been through it myself so i'm not sure about peoples experiences or how it affects them.
One of the girls at my MG was so set on a home birth and the poor thing had to have a C/S, i felt so sorry for her having to hear about Ava's birth which SHOULD have been a C/S but wasn't, i had the labour she wanted... poor girl.

Hun, you might wanna read abit more on here - especially in the debriefing sections to understand peoples feelings about c/secs etc - it is a sensitive topic so just be mindful of that if you post in other areas. We still all talk about our experiences, just tactfully I suppose.
You might wonder why belfie and I are in this thread - we were both due in October but had bubs early (on the same day, and same name apart from spelling ) - and no one in the end of September so we just kept with our baby buddies
Not at all hun, just a hint when you post on the general boards that's all You sound so excited about way Ava was birthed which is fantastic, but some are still dealing with birth disappointment if that makes sense?
Zander has been up crying the last 2 - 3 nights each hour - and I cant figure out what is wrong - I end up giving him some Panadol cos I just cant see anything!! His front teeth the skin is all stretched and white so a possibility - but he is so happy during the day. SOmeone else mentioned starting child care and waking up wanting to see mum - but I am not too convinced of that one, ... see what happens tonight cos I tell ya, I am stumped!!!
Busy weekend planned - Fairy party, soccer, Wii sports competition with some friends tomorrow arvo which may involve some bubble drinking , and preparing for work on Monday- bleh. It's only 2 days
im still here, just lurking most days though...im too busy 'attempting' to get things together to sew LOL
anyways dragon has FOUR teeth now! he started late but he's caught up. they all came around the same time. 1st it was the bottom right, then the top, then the bottom left...im SOOO happy but definitely not when he bites me (ouchies) im not overly sure of his sleeping pattern, but on most days he has a 1.5-2 hr nap in the arvo. he still doesnt sleep thru though but.
what else...it was monsta's 1st day at CC yesterday. i was so upset after i walked out the room i cried. but it was good to have time away. i didnt get much done but i'll write a list for next Thursday! he's only going to be in CC for 1day a week and i'll look to organise going back to work soon...i really dont wanna go back though! anyways, he had a ball yesterday playing, mingling with other babies (which he doesnt get to on a regular basis). The girls in the room are really good & i'd recommend ppl to this CC too! im so happy that he wasnt a trouble-maker. He even drank EBM and went down for a sleep!!!
hope everyone's bubba are healthy & growing. cant believe they're nearly one! i dont think we're planning on doing anything big for his bday though.
Sami H - Poor Zander it sounds like Ava was with teething for a while ok during teh day but up plenty at night, she has been actively teething since 5mths but only got a tooth in the middle of last month and towards the end she started waking lots over night, i started giving her brauers teething relief and ora-sed gel right before bed and she was sleeping through til around 5am, also i was told to try baby nurofen when teething as it's also an anti-inflamatory.
Have fun on your weekend, no bubbly for me, well maybe 1 glass but thats all with #2 on the way. Was hoping to go back to work myself by September but with #2 due in Jan no point when i would have to leave in Dec again anyway.
teruteru - i'm glad your little on enjoyed CC, am thinking bout putting Ava in 1 day a week to give me a rest and to get her used to other kids other than her MG friends.
My cous little boy went last week and poor little tike didn't wanna sleep n banged his head on the cot and gave himself a blood nose. OUCH
Avasmum - I read your birth post and it's an amazing story - inspiring. Did you know Ava was in breech before the birth? Maya was in breech position and I decided to have a c/s because of the risk to her. I was told if I started labour to go immediately to the hospital. I never actually experienced any labour. I was devastated because I was wanting a natural birth and I went through a whole pregnancy and I have no idea what labour is like. As Sami said I am still dealing with the disappointment. But nothing you have said has been offensive.
Sami - I hope Z gives you a better night tonight. If only they could tell us what was wrong. Thankfully Maya slept better last night. Fingers crossed for tonight. Enjoy your weekend.
teru - Wow 4 teeth at once. M is still toothless. But I don't mind. I don't think I'd like the biting. It must be nice having a day to yourself. I've been thinking about maybe putting M in occasional care occasionally. But TBH I'm worried about how she'd go. She is still so clingy to me and doesn't like strangers. So I dunno if I could do it. But I'd love a bit of a break now and then.
Maya slept quite a bit today.. with a bit of effort on getting her to sleep in the first place. I think she really needed that sleep though. She seemed to be doing better at the end of the day. My DH is doing OK too. So I've decided to go out to dinner with my girlfriends tomorrow night. And we'll do a movie another night. With dinner I can hurry home if need be.
*tanya* - we had no idea Ava was breach at all, according to the docs she was head down and in position from about 2-3wks before she was born.
If i had of known she was i think we would have taken the C/S option just due to the fact of how risky it was for both her and myself but as much as her birth scared the death of out me and i will NEVER EVER forget seeing those 2 blue feet it did save me a lot of recovery etc and i am glad i got to have her naturally.
I only wish it could happen this way for everybody but you did what was best for yourself and your gorgeous Maya, as a mum all we can do is what we think is best, we often put ourselves last to do it but it really is worth it in the end.
I applaud your decision to do what you thought is right.
I hope you enjoy your night out with your friends, haven't had one of those in a while myself, and now being pregnant again i can enjoy the company but not much else... hehe
Got my cousins 21st next weekend, DP is working so going to stay @ my dads, Ava will ready for bed by the time the party starts so she is staying with poppy and oma... OMG i will be FREE... lol no DP and no ava... hmmmm
Avasmum#1 - hey welcome to the group! As SamiH said, we're sneaky ones (bubs born in late sept), actually, clearly SamiH copied me ... Z was born AFTER X... by at least 12 hours !
You're good to write up your birth story (sorry haven't had time to read yet). I haven't gotten around to writing mine yet oops . My little boofer Xander is a bit over 10 months now, and we're planning to TTC for #2, November onwards (that's right ladies, we've set a date ). I'm also in Vic, melb eastern suburbs.
*Tanya* - your night out plans sound fab, and well deserved! Hope the sickies keep on improving. X is mostly better now, just rather snotty (but when isn't he?!?!)... I just call him Darth Xander.
teruteru - wow those teeth came in a rush! I'm glad to hear CC went well even tho tough to do and great that you're pleased with the place.
SamiH - is he crawling yet? Maybe it's pre-crawling unsettledness? (ok so maybe I'm jsut making sh*t up now). X has been similiar. Sleep is all over the place. Fingers crossed it improves quick smart. Sports comp & bubbles sounds awesome!
Hi to everyone I missed. Bed beckons... hope you're all well.
