Amber your such a sweetie you really are!
I promise to send off New Moon this weekend with M being so ill I've not had a chance, so sorry.
Well after my last post Maddi just kept getting worse, by 7pm she was really starting to struggle to breathe & she couldn't stop coughing was flat out refusing to eat or drink anything, still hadn't done a wet nappy & had a 40 degree temp so off to the hospital we went.
Maddi has a nasty case of Croup & had to be put on prednisolone to help open her airways because she was working too hard to breathe, we ended up staying the night because they were worried about her. Today she is much better she's only eating small amounts of icy cold things & still only drinking 30-60mls by syringe every couple of hours but her temp is gone & her breathing is improving. If she walks around too much you can hear her starting to struggle again but hopefully after 2 more doses of prednisolone she'll be a lot better.
Mo - hope Maddi is feeling better soon, its so horrible when they are sick!
Tahlia still isnt 100% but she is on the mend... she is so clingy, I can't be more than 1 metre away. She wont even let me go into the kitchen while she is in the family room (she can still see me). As much as I feel sorry for her when she is sick, a break is nice too. Dh has taken her out to give me 30 mins peace....
Amber - enjoy the Big Day out... saw your pics on Facebook, your hair looks great!
Just wanted to pop in and share some news with you - looks like I'll be joining the rest of our pregnant Octo mums!!! DH and I are delighted to be expecting bub #3
I'm soooo sorry for not sharing our news earlier but we've gotten off to a rocky start and had quite a few scares, so with my dodgy history I wasn't feeling confident enough to share. We had our 12 wk scan on Tuesday and everything is looking good.
It's taken me about 6 weeks, but I'm finally starting to get my head around it...sort of. For those who are on FB, can you PAHLEASE not mention it there, most of our extended family and a lot of our friends don't know yet.
Mo - I hope maddi is better really soon. My DD gets croup too and its the pits. I'm glad she's home, you'll probably find the prednisone will fix her up really quickly.
Kellie - hope Talia is better soon too. NOthing worse than a sick unhappy bubba.
Haven't had time to catch up with the rest of the last thread but big hello to all, will post properly soon.
**ETA: Looks like I've missed some news from Kim, better go check it out!

Mo hun poor maddi! I really hope she gets better soon croup is terrible! I was so sad when Myles had it! I will send off the books tomorrow hopefully! And dont rush in sending the other one back i know your busy!
Kellie thanks hun! Hope Tahlia gets better too, i know what you mean when they are sick and just cling like a spider monkey all day!
Congrats KIm welcome Zachry! Cute name!
Well AF still isnt here :0 I think i will test tomorrow! The only way it could have happend is if the condom broke which is highly unlikely so am not getting my hopes up just yet! But will keep you in the loop x
Willow - congrats!!! Thats great news! I must admit, I had a suspicion with your FB status about the important news being exciting! Are you going to find out the sex of the bub?
Amber - good luck testing tomorrow! Hope you get the result you are after!
Amber - DH's best mate's English DP just gave birth to twins yesterday and they used a condom . I look forward to hearing how your test goes!!
Willow - It's so nice that you've finally outed yourself! I don't know how many times I've nearly slipped up when talking about all us pregnant mums in here
Kellie - I'm glad Tahlia is on the mend. K gets so clingy when he's unwell too, it's soooo tiring. You have my sympathy!
Mo - Oh my goodness, poor Maddi! I hope she makes a very speedy recovery .
Karen - Blow up pools rock LOL! Joel was always the dare-devil, K has been so much more apprehensive and careful which is a nice change!
Tiff - Great to see you in here! Good luck TTC! I hope your journey is short and sweet
Not much going in here. K has been exceptionally happy today which is great . My mum came over and he wanted a cuddle from her, it was so cute! He really loves his nanna, both boys do. I can't blame them, she's pretty awesome - she vaccummed and mopped my floors for me today LOL!
