Melissa - what are you doing with Benjamin for sleep? ie are you CC or feeding to sleep or patting or somehting else?
Hi all, sorry have been absent Will has a middle ear infection (he screamed all day yesterday and last night) so i took him to the hospital this morning and that is the cause so i have to give him nurofen and hope it clears up in a couple of days otherwise its antibiotics. so hi to everyone and you sound like you are all doing well, i will check when i have some time :)
Oh no Kell. Poor Will. :hug: I hope you are coping OK with it too, must be awful for both of you.
hi everyone
well i got the surprise of my life yesterday my BIL and his GF arrvied from Perth and surprised me at work. They are here for 2 weeks for Jordans birthday I am so excited.
I will def see if I can make the xmas party
Hope everyone is well. Melissa hope you get a BFP soon!
Take care off to have dinner with the family, we are at IL's and I have hijacked the computer to catch up on everything.
Hi!
Louis had swimming this morning and did sooo well. He's finally kicking lots and even swam with a ring thing on his own for a second! He also walked down the mat thing on the water as well! He was asleep 5 min after I put him in the car after we finished - hehe. We were having a fun day and then I had to ruin it and go to work - hehe.
Had a shocker of day in other respects - mum was having a rant and rave about how we should have done all these things with our money differently should have waited to have kids blah blah blah. Then I had a few mums complaining at the end of the night because they had to buy $15 dance shorts for the concert...I was feeling guilty earlier for giving up the business but then that happened and I'm just feeling relief!
Linda - Woohoo on getting a good nights sleep!! Hope you get all your work done!
Melissa - Bugger about the sleep!
Kell - Poor Will! I hope he gets better soon, that sounds awful.
Tracey - Wow what a surprise! I hope you have fun catching up.
Watching jericho now - I'm so hooked!
Linda - Benjamin plays on his big boy bed, but won't stay longer than 2 hours sleeping in it. He's taken over our bed. We constantly wake through the night to shift him out of the way. If you get out of bed for a moment, you'll come back to find him on your side of the bed. It's a nightmare :(
I'm testing again in 2 days, but I'm so anxious, trying to keep myself active just to keep my mind off testing again too early. I'm up to 5 days OD for AF now. :eek:
Kell - Poor Will, I hope the ear settles down soon.:hug:
Melissa
ooooh melissa,sounds promising,i reckon i would have done about 20 tests by now.good luck,i really hope we here of a bfp from you soon.
poor chantelle has had another 2 falls on her mouth,both times she bled alot,she keeps hitting her lip and it is very swollen.boohoo!
yesterday i had very uncomfortable and painful stretching feeling inn my tummy,lasted all day,i am glad it is gone today.
kell,i hope will recovers very quickly,poor munchkin.
we were sent a copy of chantelles comercial on dvd yesterday,it is NOT an ad for brandpower.it is an ad for medi facts,same sought of thing but the lady is standing in front of some shelves at a chemist explaing and selling a product called hydrozole cream.it then very breifly shows a picture of a man running and then chantelle lying on the change table.you only see her for about 4 seconds but she is there.i still dont know when it will be on but i am presuming it will be soon.
ok,must go,lots of cleaning to do today
nikki
wwooohhooo.im off to the races,have just dropped off all the kids and am ready,of course dh has decided that he needs to do a big crap now so am sitting here waiting....waiting...waiting.mmm maybe i should check on him!!!!!
no he is fine.why do men take so long to have a ****???
nikki
Hi!
Not much to report from us...Louis gave me a sleep in until 8am this morning! woohoo. (especially after I went to bed at 12.30! Got sucked into watching cold mountain and then had to tidy up) Tonight is his first sleepover at Nannas. I'm sure it will be very strange waking up tomorrow morning without my little boy! I hope he doesn't stress out too much! He's been very clingy lately.
Heaps of work to finish off this weekend with the concert looming. Mums going to finish a few costumes for me tonight which will be helpful. I'm so looking forward to the end of it all!
Melissa - Good luck with the testing again!! Hope it's a bfp for you!
Nikki - Poor Chantelle! Hopefully she gives herself a rest to get better! Glad to hear the pains have gone away - Geez not long to go! Your tickers climbing up so quickly!! So you're in 3rd tri now? (I can never remember what the weeks are..) How exciting about the ad!! I can't wait to see it on tv!
I hope you have an awesome time at the races!!! Yes, men are hopeless on the toilet...I'm not sure why they're like it....I don't think it's very normal though! hehehe.
Hi!
Was going to write - it's very strange - I put Louis down for his sleep at 11am did a few things and ended up having a snooze myself at 12. I woke up at 2.15pm with a bit of a fright when I remembered that I put Louis down at 11! There's now way he was still asleep I'm thinking and I rush in and he's just sitting in his cot playing with his blanky and chatting away to himself very content! Even when I walked in he wasn't in a big rush to get up and I had to bribe him with a "sanich" hehe. He did this yesterday as well, except didn't want to get up and I ended up going and making his "sanich" and coming back for him when it was finished! What a funny little boy - maybe the genes are kicking in after all and he's going to love sleeping/his bed! hehehe.
Nikki hope Chantelles lip is getting better OUCHIE cant wait to see the commercial. Did you have fun at the races?
Kristie thats great Louis was content to play in bed. That will come in handy when new bubs arrives.
Melissa TEST TEST i cant beleive you are being so patient. Were you TTC?
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. We have Jordans bday party tomorrow, I cant wait. So many things to do and so little time.
Kristie - that's fantastic that Louis is so happy in his cot!!! I hope Emma will be the same soon.
Nikki - PMSL at your DH. Hope you had fun at the races! You really are getting along now - I can't believe how fast your pg is going!!
Tracey - hope the party goes well tomorrow!!!!
As some of you know we are having big sleep 'changes'. It's all good, but will take a while. So I'm very tires & emotional ATM but we will get there. I just really have to be consistent, which I haven't been, & I think is the main reason for our sleep issues. But otherwise we are all good.
Another BFN today, I really am starting to worry what's going on here??? I'm a week OD and like I said, I don't go past 29 days. I think I might need a visit to my doctor just to clarify what's going on...:help: :confused:
Tracey - We are TTC here. The hormones are playing havoc at the moment perhaps??? BTW :happybirthday: Jordan!
Nikki - Poor little Chantelle :( How are you feeling with bub in tum ATM?
Melissa
hey girly girls!!!
Just a really quick one from me, Tracey can you text me your address again??? I cant find the invitation for tomorrow. This house swallows things!c Also, let me know if I can do anything to help, if you want me to bring anything?
had a great time at the races.came out winners too which was a bonus.my feet are killing me though.dh is as drunk as a skunk,tis very funny to watch actually!chantelle did very well today away from me and she was perfect.i picked her up at 5.30 and she was very hungry for booby but she didnt complain all day and now she has crashed already.
tracey.looking forward to tomorrow.did you remember that daylight savings start tonight,i hope that your guests realise and wont be late....

Hi!
Tracey - So sorry we couldn't make it today! I hope you had a great birthday party!
Linda - I'll catch up in your other thread about Emmas sleep but glad you're all well!
Melissa - What a bugger about the bfn! Seems strange - probably a good idea to go to the dr just to ease your mind.
Cindy - Hope you're well! Are you able to catch up tomorrow for mothers group?? We're meeting at Daisys (again!) at 1pm.
Nikki - Glad you had a great time at the races! Thats good that Chantelle coped well!
Hope you all had a great weekend! Not much from us. Louis had his sleepover last night and was really really good for his Nanna which was good. We had to pick him up early though so didn't really get any great benefit personally out of it. Next time he has a sleepover we're just going to stay home and veg! He's so much fun at the moment though that I don't really feel like I need a break anyway.
Hi everyone
Well we had a fantastic day today. Jordans bday party was a great sucess. He had an awesome day and was really good seeing as he had little sleep.
Cindy, Al and Nikki it was great having you there. Tori and CHantelle, thanks for having a play with Jordan, he had fun.
We had SOO MUCH food but it is now all gone.
The house looked trashed when everyone left but it is now nearly back to normal.
Cindy and Nikki thanks for the great pressies. Nikki I LOVE the guitare its awesome. Cindy, he loves his truck. He got a few trucks (all different) he is turning into such a little boy with all his trucks.
He got a tickle me elmo which is hilarious, and he was frightened of it at 1st but now thinks its funny.
Well now only 2 days till he is really 1. WOW how time flies.
Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.
Kristie, I hope we can catch up soon before xmas if you are not too busy. Hope the concert preps are sitll going well.
Hi!
Tracey, I'm so glad you all had such a fun day! Sounds like he did very well with the pressies!
Yep - I would love to catch up with you all. After Thursday the craziness will be over and then I only have a few more weeks of classes before it's all over! I'm really looking forward to it!
Nothing exciting today other than work - although I'm squeezing in mothers group this afternoon so that I don't go insane! hehe.
Louis was a bit unsettled last night - his next tooth looks very close to breaking through but nothing yet!
Hello there! Yes I am still alive (just!) lol. Will is finally starting to feel better, the nurofen was the only thing hat kept me sane the last few days, he was soooo grizzly poor little bugger he must have been in pain :( I still have a cold as well which didnt help.
We had an ok weekend, Will was not himself but we had Molly's preschool fete on saturday which was good fun for them both.
Kristie - it must be exciting being this close to finishing work, but also a bit of a wrench to give it up? Or are you just excited lol :) glad to hear Louis did so well with his sleepover.
Tracey - Wow the bday party sounds great, glad Jordan had such a great day!
Linda - hope the sleeping is getting better...?
Nikki - YAY on the wins at the races!
Melissa - hope the dr can clear things up for you..
Not much else from me, this house is absolutely disgraceful I havent cleaned all week becasue i havent been able to put Will down so must get some done now :o
kell im glad that will is in the mend,gee he has been sick for a while this time poor little bugger.
chantelle is unwell also.not sure what it is,she had a temp sat night and was sick yesterday and has woken up miserable today aswell.nurofen is a blessing.at first i thought it was because she had her immunisation last week but now im not so sure,if she is still sick tomorrow i will take her to the dr.
tracey,your party was a smash,you and jamie did a great job,what a lot of people you had there,im glad that jordan likes his wiggles guitar.
cindy it was great to see you again and your little belly.tori is georgous and it was great to meet al aswell,he seems like a top bloke.
nikki
Nikki - Benjamin wasn't well either a week after his shots. Our doctor had told us that one needle can have a reaction in bubs and can cause fever or sickness, but it takes a week to take effect on them. If you're unsure, I'd take Chantelle to the doctors too.
Kell - Did Will get sick after his needles?
AF still MIA here :confused: , going to give it til Friday and check in with the doctor if AF is still MIA. There has to be a reason behind all this.
To everyone else :hello:
Melissa
Hi!
Kell- Glad to hear your both starting to feel better. Sounds like you've had a really rough time. Yeah, I have times where I'm really going to miss it (especially the extra cash) but on the whole I'm happy to be stress free! My housework hardly gets done very regularly at the moment. I'm looking forward to being able to keep up with it all when work stops (well, until bub in tum arrives anyway - hehe)
Nikki - Sorry to hear Chantelle's sick as well. Poor little thing. Louis has been a bit grizzly the last two days - not sick but just grizzly so I'm wondering if thats immunisations. Hope she gets better soon.
Melissa - Bugger about af - hope you get an answer soon!
Not much from me- work work work. Speak soon,
CHANTELLE COMMERCIAL WAS JUST ON!!!!
channell 9 it was on at about 7 pm tonight it is a medi facts ad and it is for a cream called hydrozoid.she is lying on a change table .i hope you get to see it.
nikki
OMG!!! How exciting NIkki! I didn't see it - I've been at work. Ooh I hope I see it too!
happy birthday Jordan!!!!
Tracey - sunday was great, it was fantastic to catch up with you and nikki and the kids! Wish we could do it more often. Al had a great time too and loved seeing his princess playing with other bubs!
Kristie- sorry i didnt make it to mums group, I ended up getting stuck with the job of looking at a house in ferntree gully. It was an absolute dunp that raelly needs to be demolished but we may buy it anyway (if we get the finance) just for the land value! Its a bargain that we will have to make livable but should hang onto for a year or two and hopefully make some money!!
Justa really quick one from me sorry, the princess is screaming her head off tonight and al is doing his best but i have a feeling her mum is on the prescription for tonight unfortunately! Just great when i have to go to work tomorrow too!!
Cindy and Nikki i am glad you had a great day at jordans party. We had a great time also.
Nikki I missed to commercial aswell I will have to keep an eye out
Cindy hope everything works out with finances to buy the property
Linda hope Emma is well and she is sleeping well.
Kristie hope the concert preps are still going well. Not long to go now and it will all be over.
Well my baby is now 1, I cant beleive it. We just got back from having his needles done. I think I sooked more than he did. He was really good. he is now asleep. I took my BIL and his GF along for support :)
OHHHH and I have news...... BIL and GF are moving to Melbourne, I am so excited. they go home in a week then come back for xmas on a 1 way ticket. thats the best. i didnt realise how much i miss him until he is here. He really loves Jordan and she does also. Jordan has taken to them really well. He has only seen them twice before. Its the best news ever!!!
I have to get dinner organised, I am cooking a corn beef. I havent cooked one before so will be interesting to see how it will turn out.
Hope everyone is well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN!!!! Sorry I missed the day, i have been running around like a mad woman with preschool, dr's apts, dentist apts we had to go to Westmead yesterday for xrays for both Molly and Will but will post more on that later - so hope you and he both had a wonderful day Tracey!!
thanks Kell. hope everything settles down for you soon, you do sound very busy.
Sorry if I missed it Kell, but what are the xrays for? if you dont mind me asking?
Tracey - My bad :doh: Happy belated 1st birthday Jordan! I've been so pre-occupied with other things, I can't remember if I did wish him an early happy birthday or not? Oh well lol.
Well, as we suspected, AF has shown up this evening. A 40 day cycle :eek: after 5 or 6 good straight 29/30 dayers. Sorry TMI. I must be stressed out or something they think. I've been told to relax...
Melissa
That's ok Tracey. I don't mind you asking :) Molly's is for her hip (she had an operation last November for a hip dysplasia) she needs rehular checks and may need another op by the time she's five. and for Will he had three ultrasounds after he was born to see if he had the same thing, the first showed he did but the second two showed it had corrected itself. so when we went for Molly's check up we asked the specialist if we needed any follow up for Will and he wanted him xrayed just to be sure. it showed he has a slight dysplasia but nothing to be worried about yet, he needs another xray in 6 months....so hopefully it will be nothing :pray:
Melissa - sorry top hear about af, more ttc fun then i guess lol!
Nikki - Wow on the commercial, i will keep an eye out for it ( i wonder if they play it in all states?)
Krsitie - hope the performance preps are going well and not too stressful!
Linda - how's the sleeping going?
Well have to go Will is asleep but we have a dr's apt in an hour (for his ear). we had a paed apt last week for his cafe au lait spots (not sure if i mentioned them) well the paed is a little worried that he has the spots and his head is so big (2 factors of neurofibramitosis) so we need a follow up in 12 months for that!
Hope you are all well.... Have a good weekend ( i am going shopping for the day on sun without any kids YAY!) and have a dinner for my friends bday tomorrow night - busy busy lol
Kell - I'd love a day of shopping without a little one in toe...:pray: Hope the news is good with Will and Molly.
Melissa
Hi - I was just writing a big post and Louis pressed a button and I lost it!!! Here we go again...
:happybirthday: for Jordan!!! Sorry it's so late Trace!! I've been a bit crazy lately!
Well, we had the concert last night! It went really really well - the best one we've had and all the kids did well and the costumes looked great. It ran really smoothly so I couldn't be happier. I hired a stage manager who just did a fantastic job so I really got to stand back and enjoy it! I ended up getting quite emotional during the presentation (how embarrassing!) and then my student teacher Kayla came out and gave me a bunch of flowers and thanked me for giving her the opportunity to teach etc She's only 14 and is such a beautiful girl! She's the one that was helping me when Louis arrived - she was only 13 then and was running the classes when I was away (with parental supervision) An amazing girl...Anyway, I think I'm really going to miss teaching but it will be worth not having it when our new bundle arrives!
Anyway, Louis is well - he's been doing really well considering all the stress and running around. He went to my brothers last night and he said that when they put him to sleep in the portacot he grizzled a bit and then they checked on him 10min later he'd fallen asleep sitting up with his head agains the side!! They didn't take a photo though! hehehe.
Cindy - No worries! Good luck with getting the house! It took us 3 attemts with finance before someone would give us any money! (in hindsight they probably shouldn't have - hehehe) Hope Tori's ok!!
Tracey - What a brave boy with his needles! Thats great news that your BIL and his gf are moving over! Hope you're dinner turned out well! (I've never cooked it either!)
Melissa - Sorry to here af arrived. It can be so frustrating when it's irregular like that. I've always had irregular cycles (when not on the pill) so I imagine when your ttc it would be even worse. If everyone keeps telling you to relax you better go book in for a massage! hehehe.
Kell - I hope everything is ok with the kiddies! You sound like you've been run off your feet! Maybe you need a massage as well! hehe. Sounds like you have a great weekend planned as well! Enjoy!
I've got a pretty relaxing weekend planned - I've got a friends hens lunch tomorrow and then Dh's Dads coming down and they're paving the backyard on Sunday! I can't wait I'm so excited! Then I think we're having a bit of a family get together on Tuesday for cup day. Nothing major just a catch up.
Oh yeah, bub in tum is going well as well - I have a real little tummy now and I can feel some little kicks which is exciting!
OK enough from me for the time being - Hi to everyone I've missed!
Nikki - I just saw Chantelle's Ad!!!!! What a gorgeous little girl! So exciting!
Hi - I'm making up for lost time today!!
I just noticed Louis has his second tooth through! Next to his first one! Woo Hoo!! Although I have noticed they're coming through a bit crooked so the poor little bugger will probably have crooked teeth like his mummy.
hello
hello
argggg,i cant seem to post but hopefully i have soughted it out.
kristie.i am so glad that the concert went well.i was wondering if you were ok as i was missing your daily posts but i can see you were flat out.
im glad you got to see chantelles ad.WOOHOO!!!
corey is having his 8th birthday today,we took him out for tea with the family last night.i am taking him shopping today as we have given him $200 instaed of presents.he got up at 5am today and i had to march him off to bed,he was so excited that it was finally his special day,we will take him bowling tonight and kfc for tea.
i got a ph call from the modelling agency yesterday,target want her on monday,im not sure what the details are except that she has to be at huge studios at 9.30am.WOW!!!!
nikki
Hi!
Wow Nikki - She's going to be a little star!!! Sounds like you have a great day planned for Corey!! Will you be bowling?? I imagine it would be a bit awkward! hehe. Have a great day!
I'm off to a friends hens lunch down the Mornington Peninsula. I'm taking Louis because I feel like I've had so much time without him lately I don't want to leave him behind! If it's nice this afternoon I think I'll go over to the beach with him and let him have a run around. It's been such a long time since he's been to the beach he should be able to have a ball! I'll pack his sandpit stuff as well I think so we can have a play!
OK - the house still looks like a bombs hit if from bringing all the costumes home Thursday night - I better have a tidy up as I'll have to get the housework done in the morning as the IL's are down for the day to help us pave our backyard - woohooo! I'm so excited to have a nice backyard! The weathers going to be so nice I'd love for Louis to be able to play out there.
OK - Have a great weekend!
Kristie - I'm glad your night went well. :hug:
Nikki - Wow! More ads already...mummy's little performer is doing so well :)
Not much happening here...just can't sleep, got too much on my mind I think. Dh is in bed sick with a vomiting bug and Benjamin has taken over our bed. Other than those things, I think I'm just not tired ATM.
Melissa
It's been really quiet in here...Is everyone all right?
Melissa
