Kellie i know hard the decision is, but i know you'll make the right one :)
If we ever have a 3rd i'll most likely be doing an induction as i can't afford not to be in hospital when i give birth.
If you go the induction route, ask if you have to be hooked up to the synto drip etc..
Mo - my ob seems to think that as T's labour was quick, all I need is for my waters to be broken, she'll then send me for a walk, and within a few hours contractions will start. She said I may need some gel as well, depending how favourable I am.
I asked about the drip and she said that she couldnt rule it out completely, but was pretty confident I wouldnt need it, but having to have it is what worries me!
Happy (belated) Easter everyone.
Had a good long weekend - my last before I go back to work. On Friday we went to the zoo, on Saturday the museum and L and M had their first train trips, and today we went to the beach. So a busy weekend here.
Easter sunday was good. The "Easter Bunny" visited at 4.15am and laid an egg trail around the house leading to L's presents. At about 6.30am L was woken up by M's crying, saw me and of course got up. Anyway, he followed the egg trail and was so excited. The little boy next door also had an egg hunt and it was so cute to see and hear them both.
Kellie - IKWYM about wanting to be organised. As my waters broke late at night with M we had to call DH's parents for them to come and look after L. They live about 45mins away. But both my labours have been really long - so long that my Mum was able to fly from interstate and get here before either of them were born.
Anyway, tried to get us organised for the morning. Wish me luck for tomorrow.
Saffi - good luck for tomorrow!
I am quite lucky in that my parents are only 5 mins away, as long as mum is home when the time comes, she should be able to get to my place quickly. Its if she isnt home that worries me!
Mo We all go back to Perth on the 23rd April (2 days before Kellies EDD....I'll use her ticker...minus 2!) I can't WAIT! I hear you on the parrot talk.... Maxy dropped something the other day and said "Oh S*&T!" Whoops!
Kellie You are definitely stuck between a rock and a hard place....having been induced with all the drips, I wouldn't recommend that, so can understand your reservation there, but on the other hand, I can see WHY you'd want to be induced too.....planning and being organised are big to me as well! If you 'knew' that you didn't have to have the drip then I'd go for an induction too probably....but I'd definitely have to know that it wouldn't be too drug induced IYKWIM.
Saffi Good luck tomoz :) You sound like you had a fabbo weekend!
AFM - We had our 'helper' start today....weird knowing someone else is around the house, but I think it will be OK. Max isn't very well...took him to the doc thinking he might have had Hand, Foot & Mouth...he has these awful pimples around his mouth (but not inside) and couple of random spots on his hands, he also gets them in the panty region. The doc didn't think that it was it.....but I am not sure. The doctors here are so annoying....they just send you away with a load of different drugs as potential remedy for what your kid MIGHT have....it is so annoying. If it's not HF&M...then anyone have a clue what else it could be? He's had a temp, the snots, what looks like a bit of a sore throat and now he has diarrhea (sp?).....Poor monkey...he's still being hillarious though!
Hope everyone else is well.....COME BACK everyone!!!
Kellie that's positive that she wont be forcing the drip on you. I only needed my waters broken & K was born 2hrs later, so maybe you'll be the same :)
Who's doing your BA?
Jules not long till your back home, i bet your looking forward to that.
Not sure about Maxxy, but i do hope he feels better soon.
Saffi good luck for today.
Julia- u described how I'm feeling Bout the induction thing perfectly! Guess I'll learn more after my next appointment on Thursday. Sorry, got no idea what could be wrong with max but it doesn't sound too nice!
Mo - I've got a Buddy in my belly buddies thread that will announce it within the thread but I don't think she'll do an official BA. Any takers? Lol
I definitely think Max has Hand, Foot & Mouth.....he has more spots on his feet today. Stupid crapola doctors!
Kellie It's a shame you can't see into the future. Good luck at your appointment, I hope you get out of that sticky spot and that everything just WORKS xx
Kellie i'll do it :D
great Mo -thanks! PM me your mobile number and I'll add you to my list! Thanks again!
Hi everyone! Its been quiet in here again!
Mo - thanks for the PM, added you into my phone!
Saffi - how is work going?
Julia - how is it going with your 'helper'?
special hi to trish, tiff, amber and anyone else I've missed... come back and tell us how you are doing!
had my ob appt this morning. Bubs is nowhere near engaged so dont think anything is happening any time soon. Discussed the induction idea again and we have booked it in for about 1.5 weeks away (keeping the date a secret!), as long as I am favourable. She is going to do an internal (yuk) to see how I am next Thursday, so fingers crossed all these braxton hicks are doing something.
anyway, i'm off to watch SYTYCD... hope Phillipe makes it into the top 4... droooooool....
Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been in here for a while, just been busy. It's been school hols so I've been extra busy having Joel home and business is busy too. I hope you all had a great Easter! We went to Inverloch for the 4 days and had a great time (I'm sure you'd all probably know this due to all the pics I put on FB LOL).
We had a bit of a tummy bug last week. Joel got it on the Sunday, I got it mildly at the same time (luckily I just felt nauseous), DH got it on Thursday and K had a bit of it over the weekend. It seems to hang around! It was pretty mild luckily, although poor DH was the worst hit with awful tummy cramps. Alana has had an ear infection which has made her pretty unhappy. I'm missing my happy girl!
K is going great, still saying and doing cute things. Tonight he called out to me after I put him to bed and said "Mummy, you forgot kiss", so cute!. He LOVES going to the beach and after a trip there a couple of weeks ago he said "Mummy go beach again? Right now! Nah, just kidding Mummy!" I love this age, it's so fun!
Alana is crawling around like a pro and can pull herself up to standing now. She's growing up too fast! She loves playing outside and will stay out there for hours.
It's been nice having Joel home, I've been trying to keep him busy to keep away boredom. We've had lots of play dates and trips to the park. We always seem to run into someone we know at the shops or park, it's so good!
Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi to you all! I can't believe you're about to pop Kellie :o. You're pregnancy has gone so fast!
Better run, have a great night!
Hi girls, thought I better pop in and say hi in case you thought I was in a chocolate coma or something! This is my worst easter for choccy, cannot stop eating it, yum! Not helping with the kgs and I keep telling myself tomorrow will be a better day! :redface:
We went away for easter, was a great trip. Kids travelled great, 6 hours in a car is a long time but they were champions. We had to wake Luka there and on the way back for feeds, other than that he also slept. He is growing so fast, how do you keep them your baby for long I have no idea? He has a bad cold at the moment and is coughing a lot. DH has also been home sick with the same thing all week. Girls and I are fine so far touch wood!
Kellie - Wow so so so close. I can completely understand the whole induction thing, we as mums have so much more to consider when we already have kids. Good luck with it all!
Julia - How is Max? The doctors there sound as bad as some of them here. We had a weirdo the other day that took 30 minutes to do Luka and Mia's immunisations. He was so slow it was painful, he had to look stuff up online, never gives you a lot of faith when they do that!
Trish - You sound busy and I bet you are looking forward to Monday when you can get back to a routine. Mia has been bored these holiday's and really missing kinda. As am I ;)!
Saffi - Well done on the egg hunt, I wanted to do that but since we were in a motel room it was a bit hard. My sister put my nieces eggs on the end of her bed and they woke up to her being covered in chocolate, it was almost gone, through her bed ... I don't think easter bunny will make that mistake again!
:hello: to everyone else. I better get back to bed, it is 6.30 here and has been the only chance I have had to sit down and post something significant!
Just popping in to say I know I keep brewaking my promise about staying up to date :( I jsut feel like I have nothing important to say anymore :(
Anyway...Kellie good luck hun you will do what you knwo is right for you guys :hug: , Trish hoppe the troops are feeling better :hug: , Jules poor Maxy is he better now :(, Kaz sound slike the trip away was great!
Hope evryone who is sick or has been isck is feeling better :hug: xxx
Amber - sounds like you need a hug :hug: Sure you have something to say even if its just telling us about what you and your gorgeous boys are doing.
Mo - you must really love Alice in Wonderland.
kaz - had to laugh at your sister's easter effort.
kellie - work went well. Feels like I have never been away. Weekend will be busy with washing, ironing, cleaning etc all to get ready for the working week.
Trish - our girls are growing up way too fast. Still no proper crawling here but she's getting around pretty quickly on her tummy.
Hi Julia, Tiff, Nic, Willow and everyone else.
Saffi i do love Alice but i'm also trying to be incognito ;)
Hey everyone, thought I'd pop in and say hello while I have some time to actually post rather than just read! I promise I do read often and am keeping up it's just soooo hard to find the time to post and like Amber, there's not really much for me to say most of the time!
In short, L is doing well. He is the chattiest kid on the block and his vocabulary is pretty impressive. We often get comments on how well he talks. He is still the little dare devil he always was and this weeks adventures include a trip to the ED with a split forehead (thankfully not too bad and they glued him back together for me, no stitches needed but I'm sure we'll have a lovely little scar :rolleyes:) and a panicked rescue by mum from the top wrung of a 6ft ladder at a friends place :o That kid will be the death of me :shakehead:
The rest of us are doing well. I have joined the gym and try to go 3 times a week, life with 3 kids permitting. I am really enjoying the time away and having an hour where I just don't think about anyone but me. Sounds selfish but it's something I needed. Gotta keep the balance and all that ;) People are starting to comment that I've lost weight too...bonus! :thumbsup:
We are doing renos at the moment. Last week was painting etc, this week we're putting new flooring in. Once that's done all the skirtings and door ways, windows frames etc are being replaced and then we're taking a break to save some more money and restore our sanity before doing some stuff in the kitchen and finally (after almost 3 years) finishing our ensuite.
Missy is on school hols and I have finally agreed to let her go to my parent's place up the coast without mummy and daddy for a few nights. My parents have been wanting her to have a little holiday there forever and I always said 'when she's older and at school'...well, didn't that come back to bite me in the bum :doh: We will go up on Friday to pick her up and spend a few days there too.
Bubba D is doing well. Finally crawling this week. Has been sick with a cold but is on the mend. Generally sleeping well but not sleeping through yet. We'll get there eventually (I hope!).
Well that's about it from us.
Kellie/Julia...looking forward to hearing of the arrivals of your latest additions. Not long to go now!!
Kellie how are you doing?
Jules only 10 days to come home, you must be excited.
Amber, looked like you had a great time at the supanova convention. Flynn is adorable!
Will you be bring the boys down when you come to Melb later in the year?
Willow sounds like L is going to keep you busy & give you lots of grey hairs.
I bet Missy is having a great time away & wont be to much before D is walking.
Trish looked like you all had a great time away & i hope everyone is over the tummy bug now.
Kaz nice to hear from you, Glad everyone is doing well :)
All is well here, The girls are really starting to clash. K is a fiery one & with M's stubborn personality they can really get in to it, can't imagine what they'll be like in a year or 2.
K follows M everywhere & M is always calling out to K it's so cute watching them play.
M's new fav thing to say.
M- Mumma what you doing?
Me- Cooking dinner.
M- But why?
Me Because everyone will be hungry soon.
M- I'm not Hungry Mumma.
Five minutes later Mumma's where's dinner i'm hungry lol
Gotta love them.
