Babies Born October 2007 #36

Gudday :D

Thought I'd better pop in here, I've been a bit slack :redface:. Not much to report here, K seems to be cutting his two-year old molars atm. We had a bad night on Tuesday night until I got some Panadol into him. He's slept much better since then, but I had a shocking day on Wednesday because of the lack of sleep. All good now, just putting up with the worst rib pain. I'm trying hard not to breathe too deeply or laugh LOL (whoops, I've been trying not to do that...)!

The boys are off to the snow tomorrow with DH and MIL. DH wants me to go too, but I'm not keen at all. I'm 33 weeks pg and don't want to risk slipping over, not to mention that I'm in so much pain with my ribs and that I have no snow maternity wear :lol:

Mo - Well done on picking up some bargains at the toy sale! On Tuesday we put a trampoline on layby for the boy's birthdays because it was 30% off, it worked out cheaper to buy it before the toy sales started! Have you posted in the B'Fing section about Kodi's weight gains? Someone there may be able to give you some suggestions before you try formula? You are doing a great job with your girls :D

Saffi - Yay for being moved into your new home! And yay for setting up the nursery! Have fun!

Kaz - Just want to send you a big :hug:. I totally hear ya about rolling on the second tri. Just know that this pregnancy is going to absolutely FLY and you'll be there in no time ;)

Amelia - How annoying about your car! At least it's all sorted now. And yay to your DH for helping you out more!

Celtic - How weird was your dream?! I have had so many vivid dreams this pregnancy. I have seen our bub in them too, it will be interesting to see if she looks anything like she does in my dreams!

Tiff - Long to no see! Your trip away sounds awesome! Wishing you all the best TTC #2!

Amber - Are you over the excitement of your PM visit?! That was so cool, I'm so impressed that you invited him! Have you noticed more business since his visit?

Willow - Sorry to hear your lump is still there :hug:. Hopefully it's just pregnancy related, our bodies do weird things to us! I hate those "How will you cope?" comments. We just DO OK?! :p

Hope everyone is well!

Ok back personals...

Trish i've posted in the b/fing section & the ladies were very helpful.
I'm speaking with my L/C again & we are trying to boost my supply. I'm positive next weigh in she'll have a good weight gain :)
I wanna take the girls upto the snow, but i think it may be too cold for Kodi.
Which mountain are they heading too?

Celtic-Slowly starting to feel better thanks :)

Tiff glad you had a great trip.

Saffi yay for being all moved in, must feel nice being able to relax a little now.

Kaz not to much longer to the 2nd tri. :hug:

hellloooooooo.... is there anyone out there??????


Julia - very clucky indeed.... maybe we can be belly buddies together????

Mo - how is the feeding going now? Hope the LC could help

Willow - did you get any of your results back?

We got some stuff in the toy sales for Tahlia for her bday and for chrissy... a dolls set thing that has a toy pram, portacot and some other stuff... we also layby'd a dora cubby house for outside which will be for christmas

Hi to everyone else!

Kellie It's a TTC Go-er here ATM so get to it! Pish is also on the wagon and it would be good to share this journey with someone else again!

Mo HOW are you!? How are your girls eating now! Thinking of you

Trish You are so close to popping...you getting nervous? I guess you'd just want your body back to yourself seeing as your little pink one is into your ribs!

AFM - Im starting Max at a playgym here today. it's an open gym so he can just run around for an hour. Should be good and also a good way to meet new people. I've met two girls here that have two girls each...lots of girlfriends for Max to choose from! So far things in that sense are going well. I never had a huge network of friends in Aus anyway so I'm happy to keep my friends to a minimum. I like quality friendships...not quantity! Ha!

DH & I are TTC at the mo.....on CD8 and am about to give it a good whirl! Any tips from the UTD girls! I've never 'tried' before! Max was the best accident ever!

He is being so funny at the moment. Is doing actions to the wiggles (head shoulders, knees & toes) and has started singing the ABC's! His language has exploded up here. I think because we walk everywhere and he see's so much more. He loves buses and taxi's and is being a genuine pleasure to have around. He's sleeping better still, although he does want me to lie down on his bed with him in the mornings, which I don't mind coz it's a comfy bed!

Well, that's it from me....gotta get ready to go out!

Hi to everyone else....Amber, Saffi, Willow, Pish, Kaz (hope you're not suffering too much), Kim and anyone else I've fogotten!

Hey everyone!

The boys went to the snow with DH & MIL on Saturday and had a ball, they went toboganning and made snow men. They were very excited to tell me all about it when they got home, K leapt into my arms squealing when he got in the door, it was so cute! We took them to the Vic market yesterday (I was looking for some prints for the nursery, but found nothing :() and then we took them on a City Circle tram (free!) for their first tram ride. They both LOVED that! K was saying "Ding ding" whenever he saw another tram and would wave at it. The trip took nearly an hour and as we were getting off the tram a lady said she'd been watching our boys the whole time and they were so well behaved, awwww. It's lovely to hear nice things about your children :D

K is still getting a molar it appears, he woke quite a few times last night and then slept in until after 7:30am to make up for it. He's very tired today too.

Julia - I know, not long until I pop! I am past the nerves now and really can't wait to meet our little girl :). And yes, I'm definitely wanting my body back!!! How exciting that you are on the TTC train! I hope it happens really quickly for you ;). Max sounds like he is settling into his new home so well!

Kellie - It feels great being organised and picking up toys during the sale doesn't it? It's better than rushing around later and not finding what you want. How exciting that you are getting clucky!

Mo - The boys went to Lake Mountain. It was very cold and they got very wet, but they also had a lot of fun! How are you going with Kodi and BF'ing since your last post?

Hi to everyone else!

Hey all, not much happening here. Had an appt with the middy today (ob away this week) and everything plodding along fine. Had the strep B swab, she actually did it which was ewwwww - I've always done it myself until today which I much prefer! Anyhoo...hopefully it will come back clear, always has in the past.

Not much else happening. Counting down the days till my mum gets here (16th) cause then I can relax and this baby can come whenever it wants.

Trish - Something's up with L too. Sleep has been average the last week or so. As usual with him, it's the days not the nights. Driving me NUTS. Not sure if it's teeth or what but wish he'd get over it! The last two days he's been in his cot for 1.5 hours but not actually sleeping, just playing and mucking around. :wall: Seriously wondering how far we'll get before he stops having a day sleep at this rate, if we make it to 2 and it's still an issue I might have to then admit defeat :(

Julia - Sounds like you're settling in really well! have been meaning to ask you - do you think the improvement in sleep is cause of the visit to the natropath before you left?? Good luck with the ttc!

Mo - hope the feeding issues are settling down. DD never gained weight either but thankfully no one was ever really concerned about it. She gained in her own time and even now is a skinny little thing.

Kellie - haven't got any results back yet. Had the bt done on Sat and u/sound this weds afternoon. Trying not to think about it actually.

L is in his maxi rider as of yesterday :( Seems too little not to be the baby anymore. Am sure I'll have a bit of a sook about that when the new bub arrives.

Hi ladies I have been MIA for a bit. It is the school hols here so I have a busy house with 4 kids at home and we got a puppy on Sunday so I have to go out in the rain every hour for toilet stops with her but she is cute so I will let that one pass LOL.
Kaleb loves the puppy but can get a bit carries away with her the poor wee thing she is small aswell as she is a pug.

Kaleb is now on a strong eczema cream for his face now and it is finally working the anibiotics messed his whole system up and he was super grumpy with them! I was pulling my hair oput with the whinging LOL now I'm just pulling it out with the fighting as it is so cold and wet outside the kids have cabin fever!

I hope all is well with everyone :) Sorry for lack of personnals Ihave a 13 yo looming to get on here and get onto MSN LOL

Trish sounds like the boys had a great time
I'm almost positive my supply is slowly building back up, i can feel some of my let downs again & i can tell when my boobs are fuller. So all good signs :)

Kellie feeding is going better, My L/C is great. She gives me all the support i need to keep going :)

Willow-My usual health nurse isn't too worried as we know what's causing her low weight gains, but i had to see another nurse & she wasn't impressed her 20g a week weight gains.
I swear if you saw Kodi you wouldn't think she was having low weight gains, she so happy & content.
I've decided i'm not gonna stress over it anymore :D
Ewww at having the middy do your swab, i much prefer doing it myself as-well


Paycyn glad you finally got a cream to help with Kaleb's eczema.


Hope all the other mummies & babies are well.

Where is everyone!

come back

Im here being slack! Having a rough time at the moment so didnt want to bore evryone with my sooky ness :)

Loving the pics of Singapore hun! xx

Ditto Amber about being sooky!! Been the exact same lately!!

BBL once DH is home with dinner!! Thank christ there was left over meatloaf for Rhys to have for dinner with vege tonight!!

Hey all!

Sorry I haven't posted, I didn't want to be a hog LOL! I feel like I ramble on too much sometimes hee hee!

Amber - :hug: What's up love? You can talk to us in here, that's what we're here for :)

Amelia - Sorry you're feeling down too :hug:.

Julia - What's happening with you guys? Fill us in!!

Mo - How are things going? Have you had Kodi weighed this week? I hope that milk supply is continuing to build :)

Willow - Look at that ticker :o. In another few weeks (maximum ;)) you'll have a baby ticker instead, eek!

Not much going on with us. I took the boys to visit my mum and step-dad this morning and they had a blast. Joel LOVES his Pop Pop (my step-dad) and Pop-Pop loves him just as much, they make the cutest team LOL! K is coming out with lots of new words again - he's added words like star, truck and bike to his vocabulary amongst others. It's funny how he'll go through cycles of not saying anything new and then all of a sudden saying lots of new words. Tonight he picked up his towel after his bath and started drying his own hair, it was soooo cute!

Anyway, better go! Have a great night all :D

Not Much happening here.
Went for a walk with the girls this morning & Maddi was being silly and she tripped & grazed one side of her face. Looks like she's gonna get a black eye now.

Trish I get Kodi weighed next week & i'm sure she would of had a decent weight gain, Maybe bb's are so much fuller & she is sleeping much more now as-well :)
How Cute of K trying to dry his hair.
M is i starting to string more words together.
She says Where's Dada Gone, Thank-you Mumma, Dada's Back, Where Mimi(Dummy) Go & a few more.
I just love how quickly she picks things up now.

Amber & Amelia your both aloud to be sooks, Does everyone remember how much i complained when i was pregnant??? lol.

I can't believe how quickly everyone's pregnancy is going. I'm so looking forward to seeing pictures & hearing everyone's birth stories.

Hope everyone is well.

Mo - Ouch! I hope Maddi's OK! Joel has a massive black and purple egg on his forehead after K hit him with a stick today :o. Sounds like your milk supply is going great!!!

Well K has a new trick, he can do somersaults LOL! He watched Joel do some and next think I knew he was doing them, and really well too! Hee hee, Joel didn't learn to do them until he was almost 3 because we never thought to teach him any earlier. K learns so much more from Joel!

I've also cracked K's code. He has constantly been pointing with his arm right out bouncing it in time as he says "Uh, Uh, Dee!". I have been trying to figure out what he's doing, then tonight in the bath he did it while pointing to windows on his boat and I finally figured out he's trying to say "One, two, three!" :lol:. He points to one thing at a time as he counts. I can't believe it took me so long to figure out! Sometimes he stands still and says "Dee...Go!" then runs across the room. I worked out he was saying "Three...Go!" because he's used to us counting to three and telling him to go. Ha ha, he's such a cute little turkey!

We are going away tomorrow to Phillip Island. We are staying overnight in a nice place as a bit of a celebration / babymoon. We figure it's probably the last chance we can all go away together before the bub gets here. I'm not keen to travel too far away for much longer in case anything were to happen, I'd hate to be too far from the hospital. The weather over the weekend doesn't look too nice, but it will still be lovely to get away for some quality time.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Trish you must be so relaxed wiht all your lovely holidays enjoy babe you deserve it! K is so cute!
Mo poor maddi! They run around so fast i am surprised M has broken his arm :)

Well wont sook too much! Its obviously hormones as dh informed me tonight after a eek of me thinking he isnt in love wiht me anymore. He has been sick but he hasnt touched me in over a week and i was so worried. He hasnt asked how th baby is like kicking etc and i have felt so alone and unloved. I gues sit is the hormones but i am freaking out big time how i am going to cope with 2 kids and no help from anyone :( I am just scraed i will fail! i already fail alot wioht m in the snse of i have no motivation some days and feel so incrediably guilty for letting him watch tv and not keeping the house show room clean :( sorry am rambling now. I am just scared i think and need a hug :(

Sorry to make you all read that.

xxxx

Amber - stop apologising!! You need to talk and we're hear to listen :hug:

Babe, you think I haven't spent the last 8.5 months wondering how the hell I'm going to pull this off? 3 kids and 2 under 2? Praying that I get an easy baby who sleeps its head off this time?! I know your DH works a lot and you do it a lot on your own. My DH doesn't do shift work anymore but he was until very recently doing 12 hour days. If I can do it, anyone can!

There's going to be crap days, there always are, but you will cope just fine. You have family close by don't you? You might just have to ask for a bit more help this time around, that's all.

Mo - ouch! I hate it when L hurts himself, especially his poor little face. We've already had 2 black eyes here :rolleyes: Glad to hear things seem to be improving on the b'feeding front, well done.

Trish - have a great weekend!

Amelia - hope you're feeling better soon too.

thanks willow! thanks love! I can ask relatibes i suppose but hate intruding. Will jsut have to wait and see! I am sure this baby will slip into your already gorgeous family perfectly :hug: xxx
