Kirsty - I just looked at Gus's www - he is just adorable! And I must say that you look absolutely stunning!!
thanks kerry,im not sure what dh will say.he was happy about the idea of another baby,but like me decided recently that it really wasnt in our best interest,we have just been planning when i am going back to work and we hace yet to sellour house and find a new one.oh gosh,what to do!!!!!
nikki
no not yet,dont need to pee yet.lol!!!!!
will jump straight in herte when i have done it
nikki
nikki, I am sure it will all work out and DH will be happy once he adjusts to the news. I still remember my DH telling me "no your not pregnant, it's just the hormones from Kaitlyn still playing hell with you". Once we got the BT confirmation that I was indeed expecting another bub (and he picked his jaw up off the floor), it took him all of a day and he was ok about it. When he felt Jess kick for the first time, he started getting more and more into the pgcy and was pretty great about it from then on. I just know ur Dh will be sooo excited once it has sunk in and I feel sure C's sleeping will settle down soon( as I said, maybe talk to MW/Dr about the possibility of ur milk having changed and discuss options?)....
Nikki, Just thought I'd mention this... Don't do what I did, which is drink loads of water after my first preg test with the aim of filling my bladder more quickly so I could do a follow up test. As this just had the effect of producing urine with diluted hormone levels. This meant that the line that appeared in the 2nd test was very very faint - so I was still confused about the result.
no.i am waiting for it to come naturally.prob wont be able to produce anything for atleast an hour i am guessing,but i will definantly be doing it before i have to pick up the boys from school at 3.30.dont worry i will be back as soon as i have done it.
nikki
so what's happening with everyone else today? I'm bored! *L* Both my girls have been sleeping for 2+ hrs (Kat is due up anytime now and jess won't be far behind)
Kerrie - you are making me so jealous!!! Emma's been down for 15 minutes & she'll be up any minute! 2 hours would be....I don't know what it would be like!
it'd be time to do the washing, hang it out (only it's raining today so put in drier, hang up/put away the dry clothes and do the next load), check emails, have lunch (Yay! I had some food to myself!) and I had some time to myself to listen to music for a bit while I checked emails. etc
I know I am lucky. My girls are very good sleepers.... Even tho they are both teething.
I sometimes feel like waking Kat up when it's like this and I am bored, but she needs her sleep or I have one GRUMPY baby who likes to hit mummy atm when she's acting out (she doesn't know how else to express her frustration and pain atm). And trust me a grumpy 19m.o is hell. She's already started her terrible twos.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!
Nikki! How Exciting.....well I know you're stressed out and all that at the moment but when it sinks in you'll be excited I'm sure of it!
I was only said to dh last night that I was going to do a test as I've been feeling very funny lately and not feeling like eating properly and Sat night & sun night felt like throwing up. Also have been getting crampy feelings down low....I'm sure it's probably just a funny bug but your mind plays tricks on you when you don't have af! (after your news I'm going to head down and get one though..hehehe)
Anyway - How EXCITING! Are you still coming around on Wed??? We'll be able to have a good chat about it all then! Don't forget to email me or phone me and I'll give you the address...
I'm sure your dh will be happy - he will probably just need a bit of time like you to get used to the idea....
Geez, I'm away from one morning and look at all the excitement!
We had our appointment at tinlids and that went well. Just waiting for the photos to go up and to see if Louis gets any work. I'm not too stressed as I wouldn't want to be running around too much anyway....a bit would be fun though.
Kirsty - Gussy is so gorgeous - and I agree with Linda - so are you! You look great in all of your photos! He's grown up sooo much! You've both done an amazing job with your little boy!
Kerrie - Bored? Whats bored? hehehe. Louis ended up going down for his sleep this morning only for me to have to wake him 30min later to go to the app. Of course he was overtired this afternoon when I put him down so he wasn't happy. While he's asleep I usually have to do work for dancing. I've got a pile of paperwork to get done but I can't be bothered - hehe.
Oh Nikki, hope you're feeling ok........
Oh Kristie I'm with you on the paperwork! I actually got through a fair bit today, but it piles back up sssoooo fast!
Kerrie - I can't imagine wanting to wake Emma up! I love her & love being with her, but I love having a few minutes to myself!
Nikki - I hope your news is sinking in & that it's feeling a bit better.
I think we are all hanging out to hear from nikki.......... I know you are worried nikki, but I am excited for you. I'm sorry.....
okay just got back,bought a different brand hpt and it came up posotive.omg im pregnant..heheheh!!!i feel a bit better but i have decided to try and hold my tounge and am going to get an u sound asap to see how far i am before telling dh.bet i cant keep it from him though.well this is a very good excuse to throw away those cigarettes now isnt it.
kristie,i will call you later tonight or tomorrow morning,am definantly still coming,cant wait.please be pregnant with me......
thankyou girls for being here for me when i really really needed you.your the best.no one else knows so you are all very special indeed arnt you.
gotta get the boys,chat with you a bit later.
nikki
Yay Nikki! Congrats! You already sound much more positive about it, I'm sure you'll be so excited really soon! I wonder if you will have any Oct buddies in your pg group?
I am so glad you are feeling better Nikki.*BIG HUGS*
DH almost killed me on friday when I said "I think I might be preg". He got over it soon enough, then later that night got the first signs of AF so I wasn't. I think if I did fall soon, he's be supportive, but at the same time, timing is an issue so will try to wait for a better time. That being said, accidents happen. But I doubt I'll be joining anyone in a pgcy thread anytime soon....
Even tho I wanna join u nikki!
Hey Nikki - So glad the shock seems to have passed a litte. Ooh your good if you can keep that a secret!! I could never. I am the worst at keeping secrets - especially my own - hehehe.
Look forward to hearing from you....
I will have to do a test but I'm sure I'm not. I'm still on the mini-pill although I have missed it a couple of times - so stupid you have to take it within 3 hours each day....don't know how many times thats happened - hehehe. Will let you all know.
I wonder how far along you are?? What were your symptoms?? (sorry if you already said..)
no symptoms.i just had a feeling,so did a test,even now i dont think i can relly think of any symptoms at all.i too am wondering how far i am.i have a dr app tonight so i hope they will give me an ultra sound very soon,,,like tomorrow,but we will see.
nikki
Thats great Nikki, you are sounding much more positive already, how exciting for you!!!
Well, I did a test too and I'm not pg. A relief really as I haven't been eating that great and have only just started taking my vitamins....
Nikki - did you find out when your u/s is. I'm so excited for you!! So does your dh know?? I hope Chantelle sleeps well for you tonight....
just went to the dr and the bugger decided he wanted to go home before i got there,i was right on time too,so i have made an appointment with him tomorrow at 9.40 am and i am going to give him a serving,gggeeeezzzz!i told dh,i couldnt keep it too myself,i was feeling so numb and just needed to talk to him about it,i called him into the bathroom and showed him the 2 tests and blurted out that i was pregnant and started bawling,he was so wonderful,he just smiled and then laughed and gave me a tremendous cuddle and said it was meant to be and that we would be fine.he has been so good about it all and has been very loving and gentle with me as he knows how confused and petrified i m feeling right now,i still feel quite upset about it all and just cant beleive i am going to have to go through this but i am slowly starting to think a little more positive about it all.i will be ok i just need some time to get used to it.i am exhausted so am off to bed now,it has been a very emotional day.
love to you all nikki
Oh my god!!! Wednesday is going to be interesting isnt it!! I miss out on getting on the computer fora few days and boy is there alot of chatting and we even have a pregancy and someone planning to try again!
Congratulations Nikki! everything will work out somehow, you watch, your house will sell next week and it will all go from there!
Someone was asking about AF - I have had mine every 28 days from Toris 28th day of life! Arent I lucky???
How cute is Gussy?? Not to mention his stunning mother and father!!! He looks fantastic, such a fighter!
Kristie- Good to hear louis went well at tinlids, did you have to pay much with them? We ended up about $400 out of pocket for Bettina but I figure I got some great photos anyway and hopefully she can make that back for us.
I'm off to bed, had a long day with the princess.
Nikki, I'm so pleased to hear of your DH's reaction. By the sound of it you couldn't really hope for a better response. What a relief that must have been. It sounds like you're starting to process it all a bit more now.
What a shame about the doc's appointment. What a Naughty doctor! That would really **** you off.
I hope you have a restful sleep tonight and that Chantelle doesn't wake you AT ALL before morning!
Take care, been thinking of you lots this afternoon.
Nikki, I'm so glad your DH reacted so well.
Emma woke at 11pm, 4am (when DH sneezed really loud) & 7am. So I'm really happy with that. There seems to be an improvement each day.
Mind you she was REALLY grizzly last night....got the wonder weeks book out again!
So much has happened since i last logged on.
Nicole - I am so glad that DH took the news well and I am glad that you are feeling ok about the pregnancy now. I now that you will be able to cope as I have seen you in action and you are a fantastic mother. I cant wait see how far along you are.
Linda - Glad that Emma slept better for you last night. 3 wake ups isnt to bad. Better make sure DH sneezes a little quieter tonight :)
Kirsty - Guss's website is gorgeous he certainly has thrived, he is a little battler. You are such a fantastic mother.
Well Jordan has been good. He has been crying a lot in his sleep so I think he may be a sleep talker when he is older. I also think his top teeth are giving him trouble at the moment. Off to work this afternoon but so cant be bothered. Its too cold to go out.
Will catch up with you all tonight.
Nicole hope doc app goes well
just found out i dont have to go to work today, no work for me to do. WOOHOO
2 days off in a row.
Better do some house work though
Linda - My dh wakes the kids up with his sneezes too!! must be a guy thing LOL
Nikki - Your Dh sounds so supportive, i hope that helped make you feel better and more positive about the pg.
Cindy - I have had AF visiting since Will was 6 weeks old too, it was the same with Molly (and they were both bf) just our luck i suppose...
Tracey - it is too miserable to go out here too, wet and yucky! Hope work goes fast for you :)
All is well here, we all have minor colds and am going to dr this afternoon to get Molly's chicken pox vaccince (fun :rolleyes: ).
yay Tracey - NO WORK!!
Hi!
Well we couldn't handle it last night and ended cc Louis but this time we just didn't give in. I gave him big cuddles before bed and he went off easily but an hour later he woke up and would not go back to sleep. We both tried sitting in there with him, cuddle on the couch, everything and he just wouldn't. He wasn't upset or anything - he just wanted to be up with us. He would cry if we walked out of the room and as soon as we walked in he would stop - so we figured he was just playing games as such and that nothing was actually wrong with him. So just before 10pm I thought bugger this I need some sleep - hehe. We put him down and he cried for 10min before I went in and gave him some water and layed him back down and gave him a pat for a minute. Then left again and after abour 3-4min he'd stopped crying which he never does. So I went in and checked on him and of course he saw me and had a grizzle for a minute but stopped again. I left him then until the 10min mark, all was silent - I went in and he looked at me and I gave him the dummy and he looked back and went to sleep!! I didn't know what the night would bring....he woke at 12.40 just for a dummy and straight back to sleep and then not until 5am where I put the dummy in and he dozed for 30min but obviously wanted a feed so I fed and him and straight back to sleep until 8am. So still not a great night but I really think we're going to have to be persistant with this. He is definatley not cold or hot or thirsty or hungry 45min after we put him to sleep so I think it's just bad habits. I feel guilty because he obviously just wants us to comfort him but I feel I don't have much of a choice as I'm slowly losing my mind - hehehe. I think 8 months of not having any sleep is catching up with me. He has only slept through once in all of this time.....
Anyway....
NIkki - Can't wait to hear how you go at the dr this morning. I hope you can get an u/s today! Just call me if you need any further directions tomorrow....
Hi Cindy - We paid $140 for tinlids but we just supply the photos ourselves...I couldn't have afforded to go with Bettina - even this is stretching the budget at the moment...
I hope Tori's being good for you - geez they're all little terrors aren't they! hehehe. They must all know we write about them all the time on here - give us something to talk about - hehehe. I'll see you tomorrow!
Linda - I'm glad you had a better night with Emma - I hope it continues to get better for you!
Tracey - Woo hoo now work for 2 days!! Gotta love that! Look forward to meeting you and Jordan tomorrow. Wow on two top teeth coming through. Louis is a little toothless monster! hehe.
Kell - Sorry to hear you're all sniffly - I hope you all feel better soon!
Suppose I better get out of my pjs - hehehe.
Kristie - I'm glad it turned out well last night. I know eventually we will have to change the way we do things. I think over time sometimes the same things just don't work any more.
Tracey - enjoy your day off! :D
Kell - It must be a guy thing! DH cannot control how loud he sneezes & he really tries LOL. It would be awful hey?!
Emma had a really bad morning in the creche today. Just cried & cried. As soon as I got there & picked her up she was fine. Bit of a mummy's girl ATM I guess.
Kristie -I feel your pain. I long for the day when I can feed Jordan at 7pm and not hear from him again till 7am. We are still doing the late night feed bt 10-11 to ensure I can get him thru to 7am. The longest he has slept so far is 9 1.2 hrs.
I wouldnt feel bad about using CC every now and then. We do, however I am always the 1st to break.
I think bubs have us all worked out as Jordan does the same crying game as Louis.... they are smart little tackers
I am happy with Feeding jess at Ten pm and her sleeping thru untill 7-8am. It fits well with everything and I know she's not starving when she wakes up. Having said that, the past two weeks have been a bit hit and miss. Some nights she wakes at 4am demanding a feed. So I feed her and straight back to bed. She plays for a bit, then goes to sleep.... I think for now that is the best I can expect and I am quite happy with this. (The little angel has decided she doesn't want to sleep this morning and is still playing in her cot). I think the cooler weather coupled with growth spurts could be the reason for some of the unsettled nights....
I haven't fed Louis at 10.30pm for ages. He started off still wanting a 2.30-3am feed but then went through a time where he didn't want a feed at all until 6.30-7am. At the moment I really think he is only feeding at 5-6am because of his trouble sleeping. I'll see what he wants once he's sleeping is sorted. He's not even that fussed through the day with his bf - he never grizzles for them I just offer to make sure he's still getting at least 4 feeds per day. I don't think it will be a hard transition down to 3 when the time comes as he's more than happy with food.
Yep - they are clever little things - he gets plenty of comfort through the day though so I figure I can start getting some sleep at night - hehehe. If I go to sleep school that is all there going to do anyway so....
Kristie - Emma is the same - I don't think she would mind going without the bf. Yesterday she hardly wanted to feed at all. Wonder weeks says that is a classic sign of this 'stage'. So many things in it rang true for us. Emma also hates being spoon fed ATM, either she puts it in her own mouth or she won't eat it. So it's mostly bread here, I'm afraid, because she's hopeless with the spoon LOL - it all ends up on her chin!
Kerrie - it sounds like Jess has a great little routine going!
Linda, yes she's pretty good. Is it just Jess or are your little ones getting NOISY? Jess babbles and squeals sooooo loudly! It's hard to hear myself think! I have Kat and Jess chattering away at top volume! Sometimes I have to actually block my ears because I feel sensory overload *L*
Kerrie - Emma isnt all that noisy. She babbles, but not really loud. I wonder if it makes a difference having an older sister to teach her?
i have my ultra sound at 3.30 this afternoon,will let you know how it all goes.dr confirmed the bfp this morning....oh dear....oh dear.....
nikki
Good luck with the u/s Nikki! I wonder how far you are?
