    Morning all!

    Mo - great news about Kodi. Let's hoping for a long stretch of being healthy.

    Some good news for us. L had the whole of yesterday morning in underpants. Daycare put him in undies as it is so hot up here they thought he might be uncomfortable in cloth nappies. He was dry the whole morning. They are transitioning him into pre-kindy and I assume that most of the kids are TT. So now I'll have to go out and get some undies. We have started TT him so now we'll see about maybe having him in undies too. Trish/Willow - any tips on what worked for your kiddies?

    Immi is having her long morning sleep so might go and have a shower and get my day started.

    Hi girls

    Another slacko here Still feeling a bit ill....was sick today. It's a bit annoying, just when I think it's subsiding! I had my scan yesterday and have already got the Nuchal results back that I'm VERY low risk! YAY! Blobby was in perfect position for the scan too. I hope he/she is as wicked as Max!!

    We've had a pretty good day today. DH had to go to China this morning and will be back Thurs, so apart from the early morning wake up, we've had loads of fun. Gone to the park on level 11!, a 2.5 hour sleep from the little man (and a little one for me too), and we just came back in from a megga swim. Maxy can SWIM! I put floaties on him for the first time the other day and today and he's in his element in the pool. Kicks and swishes his arms around. He looks so proud of himself too! It's adorable!

    Saffi In reply to your TT, I have also started with Max. I've done what Amber said and just let him be nude around the house (usually after his morning poo in his nappy - as he only does 1 poo a day!) and have recently bought him some 'big boy pants' which he's totally chuffed about. I put him in a nappy for his nap, and today he didn't wet it, so took him out of it straight away and took him to the loo and he does big wee's on the toilet. We've made up a reward system of sorts (a supermarket sticker reward thing!) and he loves that too. He has only wee'd once in his pants and hated it, I think because he just doesn't like being dirty. I really have no idea what I'm doing, just winging it I think. Anyone else with suggestions I'll also take it on board.

    Mo Glad to hear K is better and the rash has gone. Maxy had one the other day that lasted a week and I swear everyone thought I was walking around with a lepper or something!
    Pish I can't believe how pregnant you are! And I'm two weeks behind you! How fast is the time going! I'm scared!!!

    HI everyone else! Love to you all and you know it xoxo

    Another update from me ... so my pain returned this afternoon so I have been to the hospital tonight to have it checked out. It turns out I have pelvic instability. Common in 2nd, 3rd or more pregnancies and after c/sections. The Dr was great and checked bubs and he is ok. Moving around, which is a little annoying cause he would not move for me for most of the day, even with my poking and prodding. They always make you look like a liar when you say you have had few movements and then they go on to have a good move around for the Dr! LOL. So apparently physio helps this condition and I may have to wear a brace. Hopefully not. But will make an appointment with my osteopath asap and see what she says. Additionally the Dr thinks I am having severe musculor skeletal issues and this is also another multiple pregnancy and c section thing. She said so it is no surprise I am in a bit of pain. She has given me panadeine forte for pain relief, so we will see how that goes. Nice to finally have an answer and not feel like a hypocondriac!

    Always something and this makes the decision to not have any more kids a really easy one!

    Sorry that I still have not got around to pm's ... but I just wanted to keep you guys updated on what was going on. I am trying to read your posts in between lying down and feeling sorry for myself. Hoping for a better and pain free day tomorrow!

    Morning ladies!!!

    Mo - Thats great K is feeling better, I bet you're relieved!!! Yeah I'm loving all the talking T is going and all the new words, we just have to remind people at times to be VERY careful what is said in front of her!

    Saffi - That is fantastic L did so well in the undies!!! I had T in undies the other and forgot, headed out to the shops before I rememebered then ran to the toilet so many times to see if she needed to go, which she didn't... As soon as we got home she stood at the back door, bent over and watched herself wee. Stupid thing was is I didn't even think to tell her to hold it for a sec and run her to the toilet! My brain is mush!!! I hope it is an easy transition to undies for you!

    Amber - Awwww family photos sound just gorgeous!!! I hope the shoot goes really well tomorrow for you! I can't wait to have some family pics, we haven't got any as yet! We haven't even had prof pics of T done yet!!! I want to have the family pics done when I have a big belly so we can have some belly pics (and only buy a few pics) then have more done once we are a family of 4! Have fun tomorrow, can't wait to see the pics!!! We're all great here thank you! My belly is getting awfully big already! I'm going to have DH take some pics today and I'll put them on FB.

    Julia - Sounds like you had a great day yesterday with your gorgeous little man! You sound a lot like me, you can fall in love with him a billion times over and do it all again the next day! Thats great that you're having so much fun with him, he's a lucky little man to have you as a mummy! I love that you're only 2 weeks behind me! I just wish you lived a little closer! hahahaha Although I am determined to get over to Singapore in the next year or so, I know I'd love it there, so who knows! Take care, I hope you're feeling better soon.

    Kazaraz - I hope the pain killers kick in soon for you! At least you have got some answers, but really does sound horrible for you! I think my mind would be made up pretty quickly not to have more kiddies if I was going through what you are. Hope you're feeling better soon.

    Well not really anything to report here. T fell asleep in my arms yesterday after lunch which she has not done in a VERY long time!!! I loved it... I didn't want to put her done! She just looked so beautiful, but I know she sleeps a lot better in bed so I had to.

    I have been having the strangest of dreams lately and last night was no different, I wake up shaking my head wondering where that came from!!! hahahahaha nothing dirty like they say you can have during preg, they're just very left of field to say the least! Anyways, keeps life interesting!!!

    WOW! What a mammoth post... Sorry ladies!!!

    Have a great day all and take care.

    Morning ladies, another slacko here I'm trying to keep up with both my buddy threads and failing miserably

    Mo - So glad to hear K is doing better

    Julia - WTG Maxxy on the TT! We've sort of started here, just sitting him on the potty before his bath and in the mornings. Time to get a bit more serious I think. Even though I've done this before, I've heard girls are very different and to be honest, DD didn't 'get it' until she was a bit older. We tried at 2 and she just wasn't ready. Will see how he goes and whilst I'd love to only have one in nappies, I'm not going to rush him, there's no point. But what you're doing is pretty much what I did with DD and she 'got it' within a few days on our second attempt. Great news on your scan results too! I swear you'll be popping that baby out before you know it, it goes sooooo fast!

    Trish - The wraps I've got here are larges. One is green, the other white with coloured squares and the third is a very boyish blue - I was thinking of holding onto the blue one in case I decide to try it for D is that OK? My friend is happy to sell them to you, will ask her how much she wants for them. So jealous of A's night sleeps, we've really gone downhill the last few weeks and D is waking 3 times a night some nights Starting to get tired. I just don't seem to know how to get my babies to sleep through at an early age. Mostly I'm OK with it cause he's such an aweseome self settler and sleeps heaps during the day, but I'd like to cut it back to 2 wake ups if we could - I just don't know how to!!

    Kellie - Hope Miss T is feeling better soon

    Kaz - Sorry to hear you've been so uncomfortable. Now that they're onto it, hopefully you can sort something out that helps with the pain. The joys huh?? DH actually brought up the subject of number 4 the other night and whilst I was pleasantly surprised and entertained the idea for a while, I then remembered how uncomfortable I was in the last tri, the horrendous birth and the complications I had after #3 and yeah...I think I'll stick with 3!!

    As for us, things are going pretty well. D is such an easy going, happy boy. I swear all he does all day is sleep, eat, talk, smile and blow raspberries! LOL. He has started rolling onto his side the last week or so, can't remember if that seems a bit early or not?

    We have his follow up appt with the paed tomorrow to discuss the results of his scans at the children's hospital. I'm confident that his hips are OK, but I'm stressing about his head Hopefully all will be OK

    L is doing great, his usual wild boyish self! LOL. He has had another leap verbally and is like a parrot now, copying word for word everything we say to him. He is finally saying his own name too - "Gogan" or "Gogie" (I call him Logie a lot) PMSL! He points to his chest and says "Gogan" like a little cave man, he's such a boy!! haha.

    Better go, housework calls...

    Morning lovelies!

    Willow - Yay, they are larges! I'd love to buy two of them if your friend is happy to part with them, I don't care what colour they are LOL! Just let me know how much she wants (inc. postage) and I'll get the $$ to you or her. Don't be too jealous, Alana has woken up after only 5 hours of sleep the past two nights! On Sunday night she did 10 hours straight (woohoo!), but it was just a tease . Her problem is that she tries to pull her arms out of her wrap (she is sooooo strong) and this annoys her and wakes her up. She needs to be wrapped though or she can't sleep , it's driving me INSANE. How cute that L calls himself "Gogan"! K calls himself "Deedee" because we mainly call him "Kieree", so funny!

    Tiff - That's so sweet that Tiera fell asleep in your arms . K keeps falling asleep on the couch or the floor these days, at 2 they really wear themselves out don't they?! I used to get so many weird and vivid dreams when I was pg, I should have written them down so I could laugh at them again!

    Kaz - I'm glad they found a cause to your pain. Ouch you poor thing . I have an unstable pelvis too (from a work accident) and it flairs up badly when I'm pregnant. I saw an awesome chiro when pg with Alana and my back was soooooo good. It has never been better and I wished I'd gone to see her during my other pregnancies. I hope you get some relief soon!

    Julia - Bummer your DH has to be in China . You and Max have SO much fun, I'm really jealous . Max is such a gorgeous boy! My cousin is in Singapore for work atm and she said there was awesome thunder and lightening yesterday.

    Amber - Myles will be back to normal in no time, it just takes a while for them to adjust to not being the only child. Joel gave me such a hard time when K arrived. Luckily by number 3 the other two are used to sharing mummy so it isn't such a big deal. I hope the photos work out well!

    Saffi - Wow @ L in undies! I honestly can't remember what I did to TT Joel . I think I used lots of bribery and praise. It took him until he was 3 to actually poo in the toilet, before that he would ask for a nappy, then run outside and do one! I haven't started on K yet, I'm just too distracted with Alana.

    Mo - I'm glad Kodi's rash has gone and that she is better, you guys need the break! It was great seeing you briefly on Saturday, Maddi has grown up so much

    Kellie - I hope Tahlia's ear is better now, the poor little thing. How exciting that your scan is in 3 weeks! Can't wait to find out the flavour!!

    AFU - DH cut K's hair the other day, I put some photos on FB yesterday. He looks so different! I'm kinda sad to see his cute long hair go, but it was just getting so hot and making him uncomfortable. I know it will grow back quickly, it always does. He looks so much like DH now, everyone keeps commenting on it!

    His speech just keeps getting better everyday, it's such an amazing age! He can't say "K" sounds and usually replaces them with "D". So cars are "dars" LOL! Trucks are "gucks", etc. Luckily I can understand him! I am his interpreter for DH. "My dane" means "My turn", took me a while to work that one out LOL!

    Anyway, better go and get Alana up from her nap. Have a great day everyone!
