Hey just a quickie all about me post girls ... as I am waiting for my DH to come back so we can watch the rest of Flashpoint (great show!). I have also been in hospital .. argh! After my night of no sleep, I developed some excrutiating pain around 2am. It went on and on and by 6.30 was unbearable. DH called his mum to stay home from work so he could take me to the hospital and she could watch the girls. We got to their house and the pain was so bad we had to call the ambulance. They come and loaded me up, gave me a green thing to suck on (gross) and off we went. Went straight up to maternity and it turns out I have a UTI which is making its way to my kidneys. Urine tests have not picked it up, but the swab the dr took on monday at my check up has. Which means its gone higher than just a UTI. Waiting for my results from my scan but Monash had their system go down and no results until tomorrow. GOt put on iv antibiotics, 2 x drip as I was dehydrated. After begging and pleading I was allowed to leave hospital and got home at about 7 that night. Long day. I am ok now, pain is pretty good and I am on oral anti's. If the infection has gone to my kidneys I have to go back to hospital for 2 days to have more iv anti's, but I would say since I have picked up so much all is ok. Will keep you all posted. So looking forward to this baby arriving, we thought it was happening Thursday for a min but luckily no!
Will be back later to reply to personals ... big hugs x
Kaz - Big hugs . You poor thing, that must have been so scary! I'm glad they found the issue, I hope you are feeling heaps better really soon.
Nic - How are you guys going?
Amber - I just read on FB that you're all sick . I hope you all make a quick recovery in time for Christmas .
Mo - Hope you're doing OK today .
Willow - The Wiggles concert sounds like it was awesome! That's great that D has been sleeping better. Re: no fridge at school - Joel's kinder didn't have a fridge either. I bought Joel a new insulated lunch box/bag thingy and also bought a frozen gel pack to help keep his lunch cool. Hopefully it helps!
Tiff - Hope you had a nice time away over the weekend
Saffi - Leather couches are so great when you have kids! We have one in one of our living areas and it just wipes clean. Our other couches in our main living room are fabric and they get so dirty. We hired one of those carpet/upholstery cleaners from the supermarket last weekend to clean them. It was such hard work, luckily DH did it LOL!
I finally finished the last of the Christmas shopping yesterday, woohoo! They boys were out all day so I got to wrap everything too, it took an hour and a half so I'm glad they were out! I'm so looking forward to Christmas morning this year, it will be so much more fun now that K's older. I know he will love his wheelbarrow, he gets excited when DH uses his. DH is building Joel a basketball ring with a height adjustable pole so he can reach it.
Alana is going well, still a happy little thing. Her sleeping overnight has been a bit ordinary recently (she's almost 4 months old which is a typical sleep regression age - remember that anyone?! LOL), but I put her in her hammock overnight last night and she had a great night. Didn't even wake for a feed until 6:15am so I am very happy! I woke up at 6am automatically, I'm so used to getting up early these days!!
Is anyone going away over the Christmas holidays? We're staying down at Inverloch for 4 days over new years. DH's aunty who lives down there is going away and is letting us use her house. We stay down there every year, it's so lovely down there. Her house is absolutely beautiful and has ocean views, very nice
Hi ladies!!!
I'm back! Had a nice weekend away, it was great as we got back today and there are already people everywhere, in early for the Christmas break, so was good to relax before it all really starts!!! As of Saturday the park is completely booked solid plus we don't take bookings for our camping area and get about 600 people out there on top of all the people in the park, I do love the hussel and bussel of it all, but it is oh so tiring! I will be working on weekends, but T will have to follow me around as I really don't have anyone to look after her... Oh well she loves all the people!
Trish - It's a great feeling to have all of the Christmas shopping done!!! I must say I don't really remember T having a prob sleeping at night at all, but I really don't know how I am going to go with a newborn again! I LOVE my sleep and don't do well without it and as T was such a good sleeper, I am not expecting 2 great sleepers!!! hahahaha let the fun begin!! That sounds nice going away after Christmas, I hope you have a great time.
Kaz - You poor thing! I am glad you're feeling a bit better now. I hope you don't have to go back into hossy again. I have a UTI that spred up into my kidneys a few years ago and it was horrible, I really hope its all cleared up really soon.
Willow - I knew you'd love it, T had a ball at teh Wiggles last week and I got a ll teary seeing her so happy. We too were right up the front, couldn't have asked for better seats. Glad to hear you all enjoyed yourself so much!
Amber - T has recently got some more teeth without any trouble what so ever, I really didn't even notice. Its horrible when they suffer trough it. I think with #2 I'll have to invest in one of those Amber necklaces, so many people swear by them!
to anyone and everyone I've missed. I hope you have all hada great start to the week.
Kaz - that must have been really scary. So was that the reason for all the recent pain? Hopefully the ABs will do their job. You really don't want to be in hospital before bubs arrives.
Went to visit my nephew in hospital yesterday. He was born 100gr more than M and 800gr more than L and he looked so small. I can't remember either of my two being that small.
Finished my Xmas shopping today. Only have to wrap up the presents now and put them under the tree once L goes to bed on Thursday night. Is anyone wrapping presents for their toddlers? DH doesn't see the point of it with him being so young. I think that would be the best bit watching him tear through the paper.
L had his last day at his original daycare today. I expected to feel sadder than I was. He doesn't know that he won't be going back. I made sure he said good bye to his special friends tho I hope we will still stay in touch with them.
Nothing much else happening. Going to stick close to home for the next few days and get the house ready for Xmas Day.
Saffi - I have wrapped all of T's prezzies as she LOVES opening them!!! She gets really excited when she sees a present then has a ball tearing the paper to bits! It's funny when you see a new born and think, my baby wasn't that little!!! I can't wait to have another little on to cuddle, T is going to love it!
Another friend had a baby yesterday, thats 2 in 2 weeks! Bub is 4 weeks early, but is doing really well! He's a healthy (but small) 6lb 3oz, feeding well and by mum's side only days away from coming home to his big sister. I'm not going to see them in hossy but will definately see them when they get home. I can't wait for a cuddle!
Oooooo exciting news! T is now officially in undies!!!! I put a nappy on her to go to bed, but did a big wee before her sleep yesterday and woke 3.5 hrs later with a completely dry nappy, mummy was very impressed!
Hi girls, been so so busy, as I am sure we all have ... but just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS if I do not get a chance to get back on here again before tomorrow! I hope that you have a fabulous day with your lovely families and have been good girls so that Santa brings you a great pressie!
Can't believe it's Christmas tomorrow. I am so freaking excited this year....only because Maxy is! I wanna bottle his excitement and keep it for me for ever and ever!
Saffi I spent 2 hours wrapping Max's presents yesterday, as well as my own and can't wait for him to open them all tomorrow morning. They might be young, but I really do think they get it in some way. Every day I've been giving Max something in his advent calendar. Been telling him that father Christmas only comes when he is asleep and he gets so excited in the morning when he sees the chocolate wrapper (choc has to be left in the fridge!) with a note on it from FC saying what a good boy he'd been the day before and that he got this chocolate because.....blah blah! P.S Leather couches are the bomb...don't know how I ever lived with a fabric one (so gross!)!!!
Kaz I hope you feel better now. You've really had a hard time with this pregnancy. A bladder infection that spreads to your kidneys is really painful...that's what my friend had to go to hospital for when she was here visiting (spent the whole time there) and was on the IV drips etc. She was not in a good way, and she didn't have a baby growing in her to boot. You don't have long now till your little blue bundle is out and you can have your body back! I hope 2010 is a better one for you and your family on the illness front x
Trish WOW your big boy going to school. I can feel your pain/happiness all rolled into one! I'll be such a blubbering mess the day Max heads off to anything for a day without me! I find it hard to let him go now as it is! Can't wait to see him in a school uniform though! What a proud moment that will be! I love seeing the pics of Alana and the boys on FB.....they are all so gorgeous. I sure do remember the 4 month sleep regression....I thought I had an angel baby till that 4 months hit!!! Luckily I had all of you to go through it with!!
Pish How are you feeling? Wow two little bubbas for you to look at! I gawk at tiny babies when I see them here and just think...WOW I'm going to have another one come mid next year! If your friends little bubba was 6lb when born 4 weeks early I bet he would have been a big one full term! I was only 6lb 12oz born......shame I never stayed a small petiete person!! I can share your undies joy too! Max is going so well....he now tells me when he needs to do wee's AND poo's and can sleep his entire day sleep in undies with NO accidents. I don't know how it happened but I'm not knocking it!
I'll Be back to finish my post.....Max wants to go and see stimpy our friendly 'feral' cat!
. You poor thing, that must have been so scary! I'm glad they found the issue, I hope you are feeling heaps better really soon.
. I hope you all make a quick recovery in time for Christmas 
That sounds nice going away after Christmas, I hope you have a great time.
to anyone and everyone I've missed. I hope you have all hada great start to the week.
