Hi hi ladies!!!
I have been back home for a few days now, but have not been on the net too much, been trying to get this pig sty resembling a house again!!!
Thank you so very much to Kellie, Mo and Trish for taking time out (on a VERY freak'n hot day!!!) to come and meet Tiera & I. We had such a great time. I still can't get over how danm hot is was and then the next day we had to go and buy Tiera some pants and long sleeve tops as it was too cool to wear the clothes that I had brought for her!!! lol Melbourne weather I guess! I had a fantastic time down there, we went to the zoo, the Chn's Farm, the aquarium, DH got to go to the Casino a few times, we went out to South Melb to see my old school (which they have very recently pulled down ), Queen Vic markets.... All the touisty things!!!
Kellie - You talked me into it..... I going cloth.... Well for the next bub I will anyways. I just think it will be a complete waist with Tiera now as in a few months I hope to start TT her.
So our first month of TTC has been unsuccessful. I totally ok with that cuz now I have 2 months to loose my extra tire!!! I want to loose 7-9kg in the next 8 weeks, so I can be at a decent weight before I put on weight again from another pregnancy. For those of you that have no idea what I mean about the 2 months.... Running a Tourist park Dec/ Jan is the crazy time, which would mean DH wouldn't be able to have any time off and he wouldn't get to spend much time at home, so I'd have no support and he'd miss out on so much... So to avoid that Mar and April are out of the qu to TTC! I know that I will be much happier within myself to be at a healthier weight prior to getting pg.
Anyways.... Took Tiera to Kinda-gym this morning and on the notice board I saw they were looking for volunteers to help out with the running of Kinda gym and in return you recieve a free gym membership... NICE! I have filled out all the paper work, so I'm just waiting to hear now. That would be so great for me cuz atm its not really in our budget to have a gym member ship. I can still have Tiera with me for the 1-2 y/o class and when the older kids come in she can go off to Creche for an hr. So I'm really hoping that all works out.
Speaking of budgets... Post holidays have not really gone to plan. When we go on holidays we by no means go over board, but we have saved plenty in order to do as we please on not worry about the finances too much whilst relaxing. What we didn't account for was everything going wrong when we got home!!! DH put (yet another one of his) phone(s) in the wash and completely stuffed it! There goes $600 for a new phone (was cheaper to do that then pay out the remainer of his plan as it is only a very new phone!), and then dear Podgey Dodge (one of our goregous fur babies) had to go to the vet and get put under to have an X-ray of his front paw.... There goes another $300!!! Thank goodness Dodge does not have a broken foot (which they were sure he did), but he does have perminant tendon damage and may never walk on that foot again.
WOW I had too much news, I'm sorry this is soooooooo long!!! I will be back later for all personals!
Hi girls, just a quicky tonight and sorry for no pm's ... I havent had time to scratch myself this week. I am still having girl issues. Argh, I didnt know having a miscarriage would screw with my body so much and I am still waiting to get my cycle's back on track. Its just over 7 weeks now and I feel pregnant again, but every test is negative and I had a blood test which was negative. How does this explain my sore boobs, extreme tiredness, cramping and lack of period? I dont know. Its frustrating and I just wish I had the answers. So no conceiving if I am not ovulating, which the doctors thinks I am not. She thinks I have polycistic ovaries, again, and I have to have another scan Friday. She also wants me to go onto the pill to get my periods back and then she is talking about referring me to an obstatrician to go on fertility meds. Considering I have conceived 3 times so far easily, I dont know if I need it or want that. We just want one more baby, I am over it being hard! Sorry to vent girls, but I am frustrated and just want some answers! Hopefully Friday will shed some light on my issues.
Other news in and the most important .... my baby is walking! She has been walking from Bruno to me and then on Monday she just took off. She is wobbly and then claps when she falls over, so cute. She is so proud of herself and we are tickley pink! She bet Mia by about 6 weeks I think, as she was just over 18 months when she walked.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Max STILL clinging to my leg refusing to let go!
Kaz You poor thing, just hang in there. My opinion is when you don't 'TRY' so hard, things just happen. Maybe you are about to get your af that's why you feel the way you do....I say just let your body do it's work, if you don't feel like you want to go down the road of fertility meds, then don't....If you have conceived so easily before, I don't see why it won't happen like that again, and meds might just screw your body up more! Hey, I'm no expert. Stay positive and just enjoy practicing! Who knows, it might happen when you least expect it
Tiff Sorry to hear about your unsuccessful month! Hopefully it will be different by the time April/May rocks around. I know we are TTC at the mo, but not TOOOO hard...and as weird as this sounds, I really want to avoid a Scorpio baby if I can!!!!! I am a Taurus and typically, these signs do tend to clash a bit! My SIL is a scorpio and sometimes I just want to punch her face in! Ha! I'd also kind of want to avoid Xmas time too, so April seems like a better time for me to TTC! Good luck with the volunteer jobbie too....how cool is that! Also, glad to hear your poochies foot isn't broken (ouchies)
OK so, news....we are DEFINITELY going to Singapore! DH will find out today when they want us to go, and we will be off! ATM I am feeling pretty scared about it.....and more SAD about having to leave my precious Charlie behind! I hope my Mum will look after him! Anyway, looks like the contract will be for 2 years initially and I hope that stays the case as I'd rather Max go to school here. Don't know what it would be like there though if I'm UTD.....Alone (no family and friends) just with DH & Max! I hope that DH tries to be more supportive, coz I'm probably going to be seriously BORED! I know there are probably loads of expats there, and I'll make friends, but there is just nothing like home! We'll just have to see I guess!
Another thing....anyone finding it hard to entertain their toddlers ATM.....I think Max is seriously bored of me! Tell me what 'activities' you do. Yesterday I was struggling and so I pulled out the finger paints and we mixed it with sand...just for something new and tactile....today I was thinking of making playdough, but don't know if Max will know what to do with it, or whether he'll just eat it!
I had my first appointment at the hospital today and it was with an OB, luckily DH could come so he got to hear bub's heartbeat . All is well, my tummy is measuring as it should and my BT's all came back clear. He is inclined to go with the EDD of the 20th of August because of my 12 week u/s, but I put my foot down and said to record it as the 25th LOL! He gave me a referral for my 20 week scan, but he based it on me being due on the 20th so I get to have the scan early yay! I'm booked in for the 1st of April and can't wait! It's at 7:30am so at least I won't spend hours waiting impatiently!!
K has dropped down to one nap a day sadly, he kind of made the decision himself and has refused a second nap for more than a week now. I was enjoying two naps! Oh well, it makes it a bit easier to do things during the day now.
Julia - Congrats on definitely moving to Singapore! That is soooo exciting . I find Joel helps entertain K so that helps LOL! K loves playing outside so I take him for lots of walks and play with him in the backyard and sandpit. He's pretty happy to entertain himself out there actually so I usually hang out washing or something while he plays. He loves playdough, he doesn't know what it's for yet, but he loves to squish it in his hands and play with the cutters etc.
Kaz - Congrats on Tay walking!!! I hope your cycle returns to normal soon, it's so confusing when your body doesn't do what it's meant to.
Tiff - I'm glad you had a great time in Melbourne! It was lovely to meet you and Tiera. You definitely got a taste of Melbourne weather with the mega-hot day and then cool day the next day LOL!
Dragonbub - Teething sucks doesn't it?! I hope those two teeth have stopped bothering Caden.
Amber - Such a rude and personal question, but did AF arrive?? Hee hee, sorry to ask, but I'm dying to know if you're UTD or not!
Mo - How are you travelling atm? Wow, just read your ticker and you're 35 weeks today! Where does the time go?
Been lurking for a while. Keep meaning to post but.........
Julia - that's awful that you can't take Charlie to Singapore. Is that because of the quarantine issues or just because you're likely to be living in an apartment? I'm sure you'll be coming back regularly to see the family and get your cuddle time in.
Also keep meaning to congratulate Maxie on the walking. Kaz - congrats to Tay on her walking. L was the result of fertility drugs so I've been successful, but as you said you've conceived successfully 3 times before. Sometimes these things just take time as frustrating as it is waiting. Amber - any news? Mo - any news?
L's been really clingy of his dummy and cuddlytoy. Also the amount of drool the kid is producing at the moment is incredible. I think all but one of his canines have come through so I am hoping that it won't be long and he'll have all the teeth he's going to get for a while and I can get my happy little boy back.
I'm feeling ok. Still a bit blah but its easing so hopefully maybe only a week or so and I'll be first trimester symptom free. Sleeping a lot better too.
Hi everyone! thought it was about time i put my head in again to catch up!
Look at all the Octomums who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant!! And those almost ready to pop!! I am so jealous!!
All day i type reports on ultrasounds and with each one i get a little more clucky!! DH has said not yet and deep down i do agree with him but i want one!!!!!
oh well....patience patience patience hey
Well caitlyn moved up a room at daycare. I am in two minds about it. The b***h who was being nasty to her has left a week earlier...am wondering if my complaint had anythign to do with it... Trish is K having dramas at night with his sleep? how long is the one sleep he had suring the day?? In the toddlers room they have one sleep a day, on a mat on the floor. And sice Caitlyn moved up we have had nothing but dramas with her sleep at night! Awake for 4-5 hours a night!
one of the other mums said something yesterday and she went back to the babies room for her sleep and while it was still only one sleep i think it must have been better quality sleep or something because for the first time in over a week i had more than 7 hours sleep last night!! YAY!!! Not all in one hit unfortunately but better than nothing!!
Oh - there goes the phone - will bbl for another fix!!
Rebecca - popping back in to comment on C's daycare sleeps. As you know L is at daycare too and sleeps on a mat also. Most days he would do at least 90 mins but usually 2 hours+. We haven't had any problems with his nighttime sleeps directly related to daycare sleeps. I am wondering if maybe the kids in her room only do short sleeps and she's not given the chance to sleep more, or if there is something else concerning her. Is she eating ok/enough? Is she teething? Does she have a dummy/comforter that she needs to sleeps? I hope she settles down soon.
I had a fantastic time down there, we went to the zoo, the Chn's Farm, the aquarium, DH got to go to the Casino a few times, we went out to South Melb to see my old school (which they have very recently pulled down
), Queen Vic markets.... All the touisty things!!!
I know that I will be much happier within myself to be at a healthier weight prior to getting pg.
