Thank ladies, I am glad to hear you all say Tiera's a normal toddler!
Trish - awww sweets, being pg is not an easy thing and you also have another two boys to look after!!! I remember with K you were nesting almost right up until he was born. I use to feel so lazy when you'd come on here and tells us everything you had done! Maybe is a girl thing too... maybe they take it out of you a little more... I never had as much as what you did with K and that was only my first. I hope you're feeling better tomorrow after a really big, deep sleep tonight!
Kellie - Glad to hear Tahlia is better, what a bummer you have it though! If only we could choose when our little people shared!
Mo - Gotta love those tanties!!! hahaha I should video one and keep it so I can give her a little pay back when she's older!
Kodi had a great weigh in this week, She's now 5.9kg & 63cm long, Tho we do have see a Dr as her head isn't growing. It's grown .2cms in 2 months.At least she's gaining weight again
Amber can't wait to hear what Harry Potter was like, i'm so looking forward to seeing it on Sunday.
Julia - how did figets go? Are you settling in? I read on FB you were a bit moody and hormonal ... lol, welcome to my world! I was not that bad, but it has hit me with a big thud this week, been crying, yelling, complaining ... fun!
Mo - Glad Kodi's weigh in was good, hope all goes well with the docs! Be great to see you guys next week 2!
Pish - thanks heaps for the congrats, didn't think it would ever happen!
Kellie - not sure about blue, I was sick with Tay, just not this sick. Different pregnancy, but my first two were chalk and cheese as well, so who knows!
Trish - I am also having a lot of am I mad moments about No 3. I only said to someone you are never prepared for the difference just one more makes! I know the shock of going for No 1 to No 2, is No 3 going to any better? SIGH and LOL all rolled into one!
to everyone else!
Just a quick update. All is ok here. Went to the gp yesterday as I have a really itchy lower belly and its getting hot. So sore from scratching it, plus I was getting bad crampies yesterday. She said its part of being pregnant, like I have no idea what it is like. I said the cramps feel worse than just the stretchy pregnany pains you get. She said my headache is from stresss and I Need to rest. Easy with the two girls. I said that I am probably stressing because we lost a bub, she is like oh well you are still early if that happens. WTF, incompassionate cow is all I can say. So I come home and I feel better so will keep an eye on things and see how they go.
Also had a bit of a argument with my DH who is fantastic and helpful and I think I just took out my over the all day sickness thing on him. We rarely fight, but all is good now. I am blaming hormones!
Anyway better go, I have chicken out and I have no idea what to cook with it. To be honest I dont feel like eating, but know I need to feed the other people that live here!
Kaz - Make a carbonara with your chicken...pasta...jar of sauce, chicken and voila! I'm slack tonight and having tuna bake!
Fidgets was fun, Max had a great time....he came home and slept for 2 hours then we went out again to another play centre. Much better than playing in the heat outside!
I have been beyond a joke moody. DH can't do anything right! I feel bad that I take it out on him, but he doesn't do anything to help me either.....like all I want is for him to say "geez Jules you're hormonal, would you like a hug....or I'll take Max out for 30 mins....."....If that happened I would know I've died and gone to heaven! It would also be nice that while DH was watching Max that he actually did instead of watching that ever important TV show on some guy who got arrested in Iraq! I think I might have to come on here more and share my moods with you guys instead....at least you send me cyber hugs and concern and understanding! Why are women attracted to men anyway! It's a weird combo! lol
Trish - As far as I'm concerned you are a super mum and I am so looking forward to hearing that your lil girl has arrived! Not long now!
Saff & Willow....I've got my internet eye on you guys!
Everyone else, come back and talk more!
Well...better go, I feel bad coz Max is just staring at Mickey Mouse Club house while I'm so into myself!
Jules Oh men are so stupid! they just dont get it do they! Like yes you may have worked all day but you havent had the ups and downs of the kid all day eihter and 10mins peace would be devine! I wish you didnt love so far away i would be there in a flash! :hug" xxx
Been MIA, very tired with work and Ryan . All ok except Ryan was sick last night has croupe poor baby. Everyone else is well.
Off ice skating on Sunday mum is babysitting Ryan for the day. Saw Harry Potter Wednesday night, movie up till the end was good, was like this big dramatic build up, then fizzled out a little... that's what I felt anyway.
Work is the plops, being treated like Im the scum of the world for being pregnant. When another lady who was casual got a FT job elsewhere, then I said I was preg it's like his women employees have "betrayed" him and now he is treating myself, and two other ladies, like we are dirt. One lady had enough yesterdaya and blasted him and said she was quitting at the end of August, so instead of seeing the error of his ways it's another blow to the ego we need to bare... at the end of the year I think I will resign not go on maternity leave. I feel cheated because it was the best job and I loved it so much and now it has been poisoned and I hate it all because of one person. Little does he know that all the women have applied for other jobs, be amusing if we all left at once because he refuses to grow up... he's in his 60's should know better
Anyway that's my rant . Hope everyone else is doing well
Celtic - that makes me so mad. Doesn't your boss know if he treated his staff with respect they'd more likely be loyal to him and put in extra effort in return (my view anyway). Instead he's likely to have all his experienced staff leave him and have to go through the cost and bother of rehiring which is a pain. Anyway, thats my rant....
Sorry to hear Ry has croup. Hope he's better soon. Julia - I know! But men aren't good at intuitively knowing what we need so maybe you just need to communicate what you expect or tell him that he's taking Max out while shoving both of them out the door. I'm sure he'd appreciate that than always being in trouble.
Sounds like you are settling into life in Singers. Is there much of an Aussie ex-pat community there? Kaz - first trimester is the worst! Hopefully it will get better.
You got me thinking tho about how life is going to be different with #2. Don't know how its going to work out. Mo - yay for Kodi! How's M's eating going? Trish - agree there's no time to just enjoy being pregnant because we're so busy being mothers to active toddlers (you x2!). Are you thinking about putting K in kinder for a day or so when Miss B arrives? When does Joel start school? Amber - hi! How's Terri going? Say hi to her for me. Willow - where are you? Sending you labour vibes.
Hi to everyone else.
AFM - finished work yesterday. Three weeks until EDD but I am hoping for four weeks rest before bubs arrives. I have got so much to do around here with settling into the house, getting stuff ready for bubs not to mention trying to rest as much as I can. Having weekly OB visits but apart from bubs is engaged and a good size there's not much he can tell me about when and how. Just got to wait....
Off to have afternoon tea with our new neighbours. They have a 2 year old son so it will be their first playdate. I hope they get on.
My mum arrived on Thursday so whenever baby Boo is ready, I am!
No sign of him/her arriving any time soon. Although I have had a lot more discomfort, pressure and pain down low the last two days. My mum was convinced I would go in to labour last night but I think I just ate too much of her yummy cooking!
I will txt Trish if anything exciting happens and have organised someone to do my BA, so you'll all know when we have some news!
I'm hoping Boo arrives some time next week but at the same time, having gone 10 days post dates twice now, I'm not holding my breath.
Today/tonight is no good because my ob isn't available - it's his 39th anniversary and he's taking his wife out
Willow good luck hun! Cannot beileve its time already
Saffi i will tell her for you! We should try to get together when the babies are bigger! Enjoy your resting
Celtic bummer about your job! could you talk to your boss?
Tiff your bubba is so very normal and i love kids who are a bit freal and have character Your feral and my feral can hang out x
Hope everyone is well! xxx
I've had a lovely quiet weekend. DH took the boys on an overnight caravan trip to Inverloch and they had a great time. They got home at 2pm and DH then went to the footy with his parents and brother so I've had two tired boys all to myself all arvo, lucky me . I had a much needed good night's sleep last night, it was soooo good.
Poor K has diarrhea atm, it started just before they left yesterday morning and isn't looking any better today. Not sure what's going on there. He's refusing meals, but has had a little bit of fruit. Hopefully it passes soon. I don't know if it's teething related, he keeps gnawing on his thumb with the right side of his mouth.
Willow - Woohoo, the final countdown is on! Here's hoping little Boo doesn't follow in his/her siblings footsteps by showing up 10 days late! It must be so nice to have your mum around . I can't WAIT for that text!
Saffi - Hooray for finishing up at work!! Your bub will probably turn up before you can even put your feet up LOL! I can't put K into kinder unfortunately, he has to be 3 before he can start. My mum has offered to take him off my hands from time-to-time, but she tends to say that and not actually do it! Maybe I'll just ring her and tell her to pick him up instead of waiting for her to offer!
Celtic - Poor Ryan, I hope his croup clears up quickly, it's nasty stuff . Do you have a vapouriser for his room? Sorry to hear about your boss, he sounds like an idiot!
Amber - How are you feeling lovely lady?
Julia - LOL, I'm far from super-mum! But thanks for your lovely words . Oooh, moody hey? Sounds like your hormones are up to something??? Love the pic of Max in the ticker, he looks so grown up!
Kaz - Oh you poor love , I hope you are starting to feel a bit better. You are being knocked about atm! Are you going to find out your bub's gender at your 20 week scan? I'm guessing you are having a boy!
Mo - Woohoo for Kodi's weight gain! You are doing a fabulous job!
Pish - Maybe it is a girl thing that makes us less nesty? I don't know, I think it's just that I'm so much busier with other things this time around! I don't know how people have more than three kids!
Kellie - You poor thing, I hope you're feeling better . Gastro is so awful.
Thanks ladies, i'm so happy her weight gain is back on track. If i can make it to 6 months fully b/fing i'll be very happy
Saffi- M's eating did get better but then she did a big back track. We will get there eventually!
I hope your getting lots of rest before bubba arrives.
Amber- How was your weekend at the Dam?
Kaz-How did the girls go when you took them to the movies? I'm way too scared to take Maddi to the movies no way would she behave herself lol
Julia- How are things going with you & Max?
Willow- I hope you don't have to wait an extra 10 days to meet Boo. I can't wait to read your BA.
Trish- Hope K feels better soon. Glad you got a good night's sleep as-well.
Celtic- Hope Ryan feels better, We have been lucky so far & avoided Croup this winter.
Tiff- Hope you & Tiera are doing well
Not much happening here.
Kodi is off for her 4 month needles tomorrow & i'll get her head checked out by the Dr. I'm sure he'll tell me it's nothing to worry about. I can't help but be a little bit worried.
Maddi is doing well. I think she is about to drop her last day sleep, The last 4 days now she's skipped it & still gone down at 7-8pm. So there goes that small amount of Me time i had lol.
Mo - hope M finds her day sleeps again. Is she any good at having quiet time where at least you and Kodi can "rest"? I am hoping L keeps his 2 hour sleep until he is at least 5 LOL.
Good to hear that both your girls are doing well. Can't believe Kodi is already 4 months old! Trish - your DH is really getting in some caravan time. Its nice that he goes away on his own with the boys. I don't know how my DH would cope away from home with L on his own. Amelia - vent away..... Kaz - I've been tempted to take L to a movie but his concentration span doesn't even make it to the end of In the Night Garden. How are you feeling?
Hi to everyone else.
Quick update, OB says that bubs will be 3.4 - 3.5kg so bigger than DS. Spent the whole day shopping which was really nice. Bought 3 little outfits for bubs and heaps of undies for the hossy bag. Finally I am getting ready for this baby. Tomorrow and Wednesday are at home days which will be nice.
Now I'm on Mat Leave I should be around here more often.
Kodi's needles went well, only cried for a couple of seconds. Dr is just going to keep a close eye on her head. He can't feel any bones over-lapping & because she is doing all the things she should be doing he isn't too worried at the moment
Maddi was up at 1am & wouldn't go back down till 5am & was up again at 6:30am. I'm so exhausted she's going down for a day nap soon,I don't care if she likes it or not lol
Saffi- Kodi was born bigger than Maddi, but is smaller than Maddi was at the 4 months. The only thing they are same on is the length both girls were 63cms at 4 months.
Sometimes i can get Maddi to lay down with me while K & I rest but not very often.
Had a lovely day today catching up with Amber and Myles so thought I would pop in and say hello to the rest of you! I have become a Partylite consultant now so been busy doing parties and getting orders ready etc... Im LOVING it! Just makes me very busy.. LOL...
Amber - Thanks for today! Was sooo good catching up! Myles is gorgeous!
Mo - So glad Kodi wasd good for her needles! Makes things a lot easier hey? Im glad she is putting on weight too Thats great! Congratulations for 4 successful months of BFing! Oh and how is your Mum doing these days?
Nerida - Ooooo how exciting! Not long to go at all now for your Mini Nerida!!! Enjoy all the rest you can get at this stage! Does L still go to daycare full time? Cannot wait to hear you BA!!!
Trish - Not long for you either (AM I the only non pregnant one?) How exciting! Bet you are enjoying pink shopping, I know I did!!! Good to catch up with you again on FB!
Willow - Oooo its excitnig for you! Fingers crossed baby comes very soon!!! Do you have the room all set up?
Lauren - That really sux how your work is treating you!!! What an ass of a boss! Bet you cannot wait to finish working there! Do you know what you are having? Are you hoping for boy or girl?
Hi to Julia, Kazaraz, Pish, Amelia and anyone else I have missed! XX
Is ANYONE willing to share names? LOL! So many pregnanat ladies among us... Are you all keeping names a secret?
AFU - Not a lot is new here, Chels is a chatterbox. Talks non stop. A lot of which we can only understand LOL But we do know what she is saying so its good to be able to communicate now. She is an absaloutel little shadow of her big brother! Wants to do everything and copy everything that he does. LOL. Liam is good to... Not really much new, just they are growing up waaaay too fast!
TRISH – Can’t believe how close you are now.....god time has flown!! Lucky you having all these weekends by yourself.....I can only wish!! Lol. How is K’s bum now??
Willow – Same with you, so close now!! But like you said you always go over, how are you feeling?? Is it good having your mum around??
Nerida – Same with you also.....so close but yet so far!! Lol. Spose it is good now you have finished up work and can get everything sorted from moving and hopefully a couple of days of relaxation in there for you too!! How has L gone with the growing belly??
Mo – How is your mum?? We haven’t heard anything lately so I am presuming everything is back to as normal as possible?? YAY for K gaining weight!! By 4 months old Rhys was already 10kg by 4 months!! I know a whooper of a kid but has thankfully slowed down now!!
Amber – How is your pregnancy treating you?? You craving anything in particular??
Julia – The photo’s from the zoo are cool!! How are you handling not having family over there with you?? That is what killed me the most when we moved to Mackay but now we are back I wish I could get away from the in-laws again!! Lol.
Kaz – How are you going with your pregnancy?? Everything still going along fine?? When do you have your NT scan??
Becky – Good question about being the only non preggo one?? I know Pish is trying. Mo isn’t pregnant!! Are you thinking about having another one or are you done with your two??
AFU – Everything just seems to be getting on top of me. Been down in the dumps about it all, then my best mate finds out she is pregnant last week and lost the baby yesterday so I have been trying to console her today but I just can’t find the right words to say or what to do!! Still waiting for all the nursery furniture to turn up so I can start setting it all up. I have been baking like crazy also.....on Saturday just gone I made 70 choc chip cookies and about 40 lemon cupcakes!! All in the freezer now for DH’s lunch snacks!! Lol.
Can’t remember who asked but we have names chosen....BOY – Harrison and GIRL – Hanna Emily Clair. Still trying to figure out middle names for Harrison but we just can’t agree on anything still. Lol.
Question though that I thought about today – When do/did you start brushing their teeth twice a day?? When did you take them for their first dentist visit?? Am I getting to far ahead of myself or what!! Lol.
awww sweets, being pg is not an easy thing and you also have another two boys to look after!!! I remember with K you were nesting almost right up until he was born. I use to feel so lazy when you'd come on here and tells us everything you had done! Maybe is a girl thing too... maybe they take it out of you a little more... I never had as much as what you did with K and that was only my first. I hope you're feeling better tomorrow after a really big, deep sleep tonight!
to everyone else!
