xxx

Congrats Saffi!!!

Wow...all getting UTD in here now...must be catching.....woohoo for me and only 3 weeks to go!!

Mo your preg is flying too

Saffi - I just had to go back and check I hadnt missed something too! Congrats!!!!!!!

Lol I had to keep going back to her part and checking her ticker to make sure it was real before i posted! Sneeky sneeky :)

SAFFI!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOO!!!! Congrtaulations!!!!!!!!!!

YAY for Saffi!! Well Done, Congrats!!

So many UTD....Geez....I'm always sharing my bed with Max so I doubt I'll be UTD any time soon!! lol

He, he! Thanks guys. No you didn't miss anything. I thought I'd test your observational skills. I only changed my signature last night, so one day. Good spotting Amber!

Anyway, yes I'm pregnant. I have been in shock about it we've known for 2 weeks. We weren't trying but not not trying either IYKWIM. To be honest my cycle had only just returned and whamo... Given it was years to conceive L it has taken us by surprise.

So had the scan yesterday and its confirmed. It was great to see that something was there. Until Sunday the only signs that I was pregnant was increased need to go, and some pretty vivid dreams. Being doing heaps of pg tests just to convince myself I am. Last few days been feeling pretty blah and tired but other than that I'm doing ok. This time I'm not having progesterone injections so I don't feel as sick as last time (yet).

EDD is 10/8/09 but I think I will deliver closer to 22/8. Off to OB on 15/1 and booked in for the next scan the day after my 35th b'day. Will be going back the Mater and will call them tomorrow to book in.

Enough about me
Kim - yes you set a good example. Three weeks wow! I'll be thinking about you on Xmas Day hoping that you aren't in labour.
Willow - howdy stranger! Sounds like you are very busy. L is down to one sleep. Actually when at home I try to give him 2 but daycare have dropped him down to 1. He goes into the Toddlers Room in January and they only have 1 sleep so they are preparing him for that. Love to hear more from you (hint hint).
Emily - hello again. Sounds like everything is going well with you and your DS.
Kellie - poor T,she must have been so miserable. Hopefully now she will be on the mend.
Amber- have a wiggling good day tomorrow.

Question
L has a dummy in his mouth a lot. Do you think there is any relationship between dummy use and being slow in speaking? He is very vocal but not verbal. He says "da" and "dat" a lot while pointing or reaching for things, but certainly not turtle or anything as advanced as that. DH thinks the dummy fairy may need to pay a visit, but I think he still needs them when he sleeps. Thoughts?

Anyway, I'll be around tomorow so I'll pop in.

Thanks again for your well wishes.

Congratulations Saffi!!!!!!! :happyforyou:
That is such AWESOME news, I am over the moon for you!!! Yay for L getting a little brother or sister!! (You're so sneeky ;))

Re: the dummy, I'm not really sure if it would affect speech. K still has a dummy o'night, he doesn't use it during wake time and he says quite a few words. They are all different and develop at their own pace. K is nowhere near walking yet!

Amber - You have sharp eyes! I don't normally go back and read posts so I wouldn't have noticed! Have fun at the Wiggles today!

Kim - Wow, only 3 weeks to go, that has gone fast! I look forward to hearing what you've named your little man :D

Kellie - Poor Tahlia, she has had such a rough trot lately. I hope she feels all better in time for Christmas Day!

Chamberry - Welcome back, did you have a different username last time?

Willow - Hello in here :). K still needs his two naps a day, but on Tuesday I gave him one because we were out and he just survived. I don't think he's ready yet. I remember the transition to one nap with Joel was pretty painful until he extended his nap. I love that L says "turtle", how gorgeous!!

Mo - I love your bump ticker photo!

Joel had his kinder break-up on Tuesday and they did a Christmas concert for the parents which of course was so cute! My mum came too and helped me look after K so I could take photos. K had a BALL, once he was on the floor he was off! He didn't even try to look for me LOL!

Anyway, better go and get some brekky for the boys, have a great day everyone!!

Congrats Saffi :happyforyou: OK who's next to fall pregnant????
As for the dummy, Maddi is a dummy freak & says Mum, bub, dad, mine, me, no, wow, awww, hi, bye etc.. no big words but a lot of small words.

Thanks Trish & i bet the concert was really cute.

Kim wow only 3 weeks, then to think Ange & I are next scary how fast everything is going.
I'm no where near ready!

I got Maddi's ears pierced & I'm surprised at how well she handled it, after 2mins of crying(the crying was more shock than pain) she was laughing & talking to everyone & she hasn't even tried touching them or anything.

:hooray:Congratulations Saffi, great news!!:hooray:

Oh Mo, I so want to get my girls ears pierced but am a bit scared to! Little girls look so cute when they have been done!

Hi everyone...

So much going on! Finally finished Xmas shopping just gotta wrap them now.

Saffi Dummy - Max has dummy to sleep and has lately been wanting it during the day...he calls it his 'num num'! He hasn't any trouble with words, says star, char, ta, dadda, mumma, nana, and his new one is shoes! He's practicing the 's' at the moment. Like Trish says they develop differently, and also like K Max is nowhere near walking! He's just a crawl-a-holic! Congrats again on your UTD-ness

Kim I just can't believe you are almost ready to pop already!

Mo And then you!! :) How cute M with her ears pierced. I think it looks adorable on little girls young! If I have one I would do it!

Well gotta go...DH is just about to leave for work, so my day is about to begin!

Congratulations Saffi I cant wait to be UTD again!! :pray:

Trish - Yes I did have a different username "Luvmyboiiz" thanx for reminding me cause I completely forgot all about it.

My SIL gave me her DDs toddler carseat yesterday which she brought when her daughter was 4 and still not quite big enough for a normal seatbelt but within a few weeks she had a growth spurt and no longer needed it!! So DS has fallen in love with his new "big boy seat" the old one was getting quite squashy.

Anyway had better go and get some washing done before the storms come tomorrow have a great day everyone

congrats with the warmest wishes nerida....im shocked it happened so quick for you too. but apparently once you have had one baby, it gets much easier to fall pg next time so that is great news.
question for the day. who puts shoes on there little ones? i dont as my doctor told me its bad to put shoes on babies until they have been walking for 6 weeks as it can damage the feet and alter the way they walk. so i will start putting shoes on him in about another 3 weeks.

just flying by to say: congratulations Saffi!! might have a LEO baby, the 7th August is best ok!!! (my bday;))

Hope everyone is well.
I got my Tupperware car last night! now i get to drive around a loely ford Territory its great. now just got to maintain it!

Kate Maddi only starting wearing hard soles shoes almost 4 weeks ago & she's been walking since 11months. She hated anything other than socks on her feet for the longest time.

Kaz i was going to get someone else to take Maddi in but then i figured i was the best person to calm her down afterwards.

Nic congrats on the car.

Kate - L wears Crocs when at daycare and when we go out, but at home he's barefooted.
Mo - so cute Maddi and the bling. My niece had her ears pierced as a bub too. She also has gold bracelets etc. Her Mum loves bling so only natural she would follow her example.
Nic - congrats on the car. Is it pink with Tupperware written on it? We hired a Territory when we went to NZ a few years ago. Pretty good. Actually with our expanding family we are seriously thinking about getting a Territory or a Kluger.

Woohoo, I'm now on 2 weeks leave. Going to be great chilling out with my boys. Only sucky thing is that I won't be able to enjoy all the seafood everyone else will be tucking into on Xmas Day. I could probably risk it, but this time I am trying to follow all the rules.

Anyway, have a good weekend all.

Saffi we can miss out on Christmas day together. I'm so going to hate missing out on prawns etc...
I'll just have to have a big prawn feast after Cookie arrives!
It does seem easier to have their ears done at a young age, Maddi still couldn't care less about her earrings she just hates having them sprayed all the time. I am glad i don't have to go through it for at least another year tho!

Are you having another girl Mo!!?

Yeah Mo? Are you having another girl?

Yep, Mo announced that Cookie is a girl a little while ago now!

Oh I missed the girl announcement ... congrats Mo. Two girls close together is nice most of the time! I hope mine grow up close.

All ok this end, had a few dramas myself. I had a weird period on the weekend and thought that I was pregnant, ended up taking a test tuesday night which come up positive. Went to the doctors to have it confirmed and he said that I had most probably miscarried and the reason my test was coming up positive was because in his words, I had a bit left over in there. Needless to say, by the time i got home a was a bit worked up. This wasnt my normal dr and he was so rude. He said that my bloodtest that i had on sunday showed a hcg of 14, low and not worth being concerned about. at 3am the next morning i woke with really bad cramping. i went to the hospital and they put an iv in each arm and put me on a drip, did another round of bloodtests and an ultrasound. they thought i had an eptopic and wanted to be prepared in case i started bleeding. the bloodtest come back and my hcg went to 41. still low, but either showing i was in early stage of pregnancy or eptopic. ultrasound showed no sign of a pregnancy but this would be the case if i was only a couple of weeks as i suspect. the scan showed i have a cyst on my right ovary though and its double the size of what it should be. i now have to have bloodtests every 48 hours till i hit a hcg of 2000 and have another ultrasound to see where this maybe pregnancy is? so i might be pregnant or not, it might be in the right spot or not. i have to be really careful and watch for symptons of the cyst rupturing which can be really serious. so i wont really know anything for 4 weeks or so. its awful. i wish i had never taken the pregnancy test, all 5 of them as i couldnt believe it. but then if i hadnt of i probably would have just thought my cramping was part of being a woman and not gone to the hospital where they found out i had a cyst.

anyway ... wanted to fill you in. i had a good cry yesterday but am ok today. i just want to talk about it. i think i want people to tell me its ok. that good old reassurance!

hope your all enjoying the sunshine!

Kaz :hug: hope it's just to early to tell & everything turns out fine.

lol Thanks Trish at least you remember!

Kaz - that's really tough. Sending you sticky vibes. :stickyvibesboy: Try to rest and take it easy.
Mo - I remember now! :doh: I do read these posts (honest).

Got L's Xmas present today - a swing/slide plastic thing. We've had it on raincheck since July and on Monday was told that they weren't getting anymore in. They offered a substitute and today we went in to pay for it and pick it up. As all the paperwork was in the orginal item, I had to explain what had happend. It was then that I was told that they had received a few of the original items yesterday. Went to parcel pick up to collect it and the box wouldn't fit in the boot. So had to unpack it all on the loading dock. Lucky we didn't get the substitute item as it was even bigger. Anyway, all worked out in the end.

Sorry Mo...I couldn't remember if you had said anything.....by the way, can anyone tell me what my name is!!!?

Doh now your testing us...... mini.......lol.....i bet i go ahhhh thats it, when u tell me!!

yep white car pink strip down it!
Mo- i remember! yeah its great having them same sex so close together. exept i rekon Tyron is going to think he is the older brother real soon lol.
Kaz- that doctor sounds like a pig, i realy hope you are just in early stage of pregnancy and everything progresses along. I would have done the same thing and your right its better u did those tests or u prob wouldnt have thought it was anything else than your period. thats such a long time to wait for anything especially to confirm a pregnancy, hugs to you

Saffi at least you can blame it on pregnancy brain! Glad you got L's present i bet he will love it.

No need to be sorry Julia & is that a trick question?
I was only j/king yesterday i'm not going to take offence to people forgetting what gender Cookie is!

Yeah trick question as I am so ditzy I can't remember anything these days!! Knew you didn't mean anything by it Mo :)

Kaz - you poor thing! I hope everything turns out for you

Catch up tomorrow everyone

Hi everyone,
Kaz - I am sorry that you are going through this. Sending you lots of hugs. I hope everythig turns out alright for you. I think you did the right thing. It is better to know about the cyst than not know. Rest as much as you can and try not to stress. They say this can make a difference.

Well Ethan is being a whingy poo today. He is never clingy with me only with Daddy and today he is attached to my leg. I am hoping that he will have a nice big sleep so I can get some things done.

I think the ms is slowing down thank goodness. Still a bit sick but feel like I can do more than just lie on the couch.

Getting excited about chrissy. Can't wait to give Ethan his sandpit. We are moving in January so it wont have sand in it till we move but he will still love it. Don't have a go at me everyone but we haven't even put up our tree yet. Haven't had the energy. DH only works half a day tomorrow so we will put it up tomorrow arvo. But the down side is that it is one more thing to pack up when we already have so much packing to do.

Anyway, better put E to bed. Have a great Christmas everyone.

Hi girls, just a quick note to tell you that I had a miscarriage this morning. We arrived in Adelaide early hours of this morning and I had been cramping a bit in the car trip. Then when I got up this morning I had bled a bit. Nothing significant and its stopped, but because of my cyst I was told to go to hospital if anything like that happened. They did a blood test and my hcg levels had gone from 44 down to 6.4. I had a blood test on Sunday so things were fine then. The doctor said that something must not have been right and its just nature taking its course. I am feeling ok with it all, I have been upset but the thought of an eptopic and having an abortion is a worse outcome. I went to the doctors again tonight and he will do my hcg levels n saturday morning just to make sure its all over. Now I need to wait a couple of weeks and have an ultrasound as well, just to make sure I have nothing that can cause an infection and to make sure that I dont need to have a d'n'c.

Anyway, better go. Just wanted to let you know what was going on. THanks heaps for the thoughts you have expressed over the last few days!

K x

*Hugs* Kaz..im sorry to hear of your miscarriage.

Can i ask you all..how much water is your little ones drinking?

16 days to gooooooo :D

Kaz - I'm so sorry to hear of your miscarriage. :comfort:

Kim - Wow, 16 days but who's counting??? I'm still in triple digits!!! Saw BumbleBee's room on FB. Bet you can't wait to have a little one to put in there. Can't wait to hear the name. We are working on our shortlist presently. Very common and traditional names are in the running. Nothing has stood out yet.

Anyway, heaps more I could say but I'll leave it until tomorrow.

Morning everyone, happy Christmas Eve!

Kaz - I'm so sorry to hear of your m/c :hug:. Make sure you take good care of yourself.

Kim - I don't know exactly how much K drinks! He has two cups of milk a day and two or three cups of water I suppose. I don't pay a lot of attention, but I always make sure he has a cup of water on hand and he likes to drink.

alz - I'm glad the m/s is easing off, there is nothing worse! I hope Ethan has lots of fun with his new sandpit! Every boy needs one ;).

Saffi - How are you feeling pregnant lady? L's Chrissy pressie sounds like a lot of fun!

Julia - How are your Chrissy preparations going? What have you gotten Max?

Nic - Congrats on the new car! Territory's are great family cars!

Mo - Look at you with only 13 weeks to go!!! Are you all prepared?

misskate - K isn't walking yet so I don't put shoes on him, but I waited the 6 weeks to put shoes on Joel when he started walking. In the meantime I used to put soft-soled leather shoes on him that my friend designs, they're called Cheeky Little Soles and are brilliant.

Chamberry - That's right, now I remember your old username!

We're all good here, just getting ready for tomorrow. I have to buy some food today to take to MIL's for lunch tomorrow, then we're going to my mum & step-dad's for dinner. I dread to know how many extra toys we will come home with!

K is standing up unassisted now, but still not walking, I don't think he's far off though. I like him crawling though, it still makes him my little baby LOL! He loves to sit on the floor cross-legged (like a school kid) which is so cute. He also constantly points to DH's or my eyes, ears, nose, etc. saying "what's that?" to each one LOL!

Anyway, not sure if I'll be back on tomorrow so if not - MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!!

Kaz :hug::hug: so sorry hun! Sending you lots of love and healing :hug:

sorry girls have been MIA i dont think i was missed too much lol! Anyway just popping in quickly to say

:leap:MERRY CHRISTMAS:leap:

I hope you all have a wonderfull day with your families! We are headed to the coast for a well deserved holiday! :dance:

Love to you all! xxxxx

I missed you Amber! I wrote my post while I was still waking up, sorry I didn't include you :hug:. Have you been away in your holiday house yet?

Aw thrish thats cool! Was just being a sook :) We are headed up to the dam on boxing day for the day which should be nice! xx

Kaz, thinking of you, sorry to hear the news :comfort:

Not sure if I will be in here again tomorrow either, so wishing everyone and their families a very Merry Christmas!
Hope all of your wishes comes true and you all have a great day! It even seems like Melbourne is going to get nice weather on Christmas Day for a change!

Hi all

Kim - not sure how much water L drinks. There are always sippy cups available for him, but he mostly spits it out so not sure how much actually goes in. He does have 3 x 180mls of full cream milk a day.
Trish - I am feeling ok, thanks for asking. Been feeling nauseous for the last week or so but apart from that not too bad.
Alz - good the m/s has eased up. Sounds like you have it bad. I just keep reminding myself if I feel sick it means the bub is growing and I can put up with that.
Amber - enjoy your break up at the dam. I suppose you'll be doing heaps of water skiing. Hope the weather stays nice for you. How'd the Wiggles concert go?

We have discovered In the Night Garden. L adores IgglePiggle. Everytime L sees him he claps and squeals. He is able to sit totally fixated for the entire show. L has a powder blue sleep suit that makes him look like IgglePiggle.

DH went to the seafood market this morning to get the food for Xmas lunch - 2.5kgs prawns, 2l obsters, 100 gr of smoked salmon, and 3 doz oysters - and I can't eat any of it :crying: Oh well I'll just have to eat the turkey and the ham. I am baking a ham this year as I don't think I am allowed to eat it cold.

Anyway, best wishes to all the mummies and the bubbies for a safe and Merry Christmas and for a 2009 where your hopes and dreams come true.

Amber i missed you! Enjoy your holiday :)

Saffi I'm also baking ham this year & i hear you on the seafood.

Kaz I'm so sorry to hear of your news :hug:

Alz glad the m/s has eased.

Trish I've only got Cookie's clothes washed & packed in her hospital bag, nothing else is done lol.
Yay for K, not long till he's walking now.

Kim I'm not sure how much Maddi drinks each day, She has a non spill bottle that i keep full for her she would usually go through 2 a day.

Kaz- oh man so sorry to hear you have m/c. i really hope you dont need a d & c and when the time is right you may get pg again.

Ty drinks 3-4 200ml bottles of milk and each meal time or if we go out or when playing at home i give him is water bottle. i dont really take notice how much maybe a whole bottle over the course of the day?
Merry christmas everyone! we had lunch at mum and dads today, kids got spoilt already. def going to have to pack some old toys away after this years! got their stuff ready, when we go to bed will be putting it out, didnt want to get busted incase nixon woke up and walked out!

i hope everyone has a lovely day tomorrow, Kim no going into labour lol!

Merry Christmas everyone!
Hope your little ones were nice than Maddi & let you have a sleep in.
