Nic it's nice to hear from you & yep that's Ange :D
Ange how's life with 3 little princesses?
Not much happening here, but i did have some bleeding yesterday so went to the hospital & Bambi is fine. They don't know why i had the bleed but as long as i don't get any contractions then i've just got to rest.
Which would be way easier if i didn't have 2 kids to look after, but it's only spotting now & she is still moving around heaps :)
This pregnancy has not been easy for me, with the severe m/s & all the bleeds i've had. I've not had a chance to enjoy it.
I haven't brought anything for her yet as i'm a little afraid something will happen.
Only 14 and half more weeks....
-
Still nothing interesting happening here.
I think M will be an artist when she gets older, she loves drawing! She draws people, dinosaurs, rainbows, with grass, sun & a tree with a swing.
You can actually tell what her pictures are most times, she also tries so hard to colour between the lines it's so cute.
Kodi is doing well, tho she is well & truly going through the terrible two stage & making life difficult.
We took the girls to the city on Sun, we caught the train in & both girls thought it was great. We ended up going to the Museum so M could see the Dinosaurs, She is obsessed with them at the moment. We have read that many books & seen that many movies about them it's not funny.
Hope everyone is doing well :D

Hi everyone
Mo - I've been meaning to post, but been really slack. This pregnancy hasn't been easy on you. :hug: I can only imagine how stressful and worrying it must be. Easier said than done to rest when you have 2 very active girls to look after.
Had the day off work today as M has gastro. We went to a b'day party on the weekend, we gave a gift and they gave us gastro. Actually it was a guest at the party not the hosts so can't blame them. The party was at our next door neighbour's and they have also caught it as the Dad spent the whole day washing and drying clothes and bedding. We seem to have got off lightly with only M coming down with it and not too bad at that. Anyway, I think at this stage she'll be going to daycare and me to work tomorrow.
Nothing much else happening. The kids are growing way too fast. M's vocab is amazing. I swear she is ahead of where L was at the same age. She's got a bit of a temper to her and is very strong willed. L is great. He's such an adorable little guy, although I am getting a bit frustrated with the constant "whys?" .
How is everyone? Is there anyone else out there other than Mo and I?
-
Hey chickies! I'm here, I just keep forgetting to come in and say hi :redface:
Saffi - Bummer about M having gastro, I hate when people have to share it grrrrr.... She sounds like she's going well though, Alana has a great vocab too, it must be a girl thing, we love to talk LOL! And I hear you on the stubborness and strong willedness!
Mo - Sorry you've had such a rough time this pregnancy :hug:. M sounds so clever with her drawing! K has only just worked out how to draw a "person" :lol: We went to the museum a few weeks ago too for the same reason, K LOVES dinosaurs! They had a ball exploring everything, and it's so cheap!
AFU - All is well. It's school hols so I have Joel home too and he's keeping me so busy! The weather is terrible so I have to try and keep all three of them entertained indoors most of the time. We're having a lot of fun though doing puzzles, playing Go Fish, baking, etc. K is going great, he's a really cute, funny little dude :D. He loves having Joel home to play with him, although he and Alana have a ball playing together too. They're all so cute, I love them all to bits :).
Business has been going fantastically, it's keeping me nice and busy. Umm...not sure what else I can update you all with! I'm pretty boring really :lol:
I hope everyone is well!
-
I'm here... But boring!
We just got back from London for my cousins wedding.... We came back with colds.... Well max and I. We've had lovely weather lately, but today it randomly bucketed down.... Must be Like living in Melbourne!! Lol!
I'm really sad as our tenants at home are moving out. They were renting privately direct with us, and they were so easy to deal with. I got pics of the house sent to me today and it made me homesick :(
Darcie is coming up 14 months and is also starting with her words.... Her will is also strong.... Such a tanti chucker... She is funny and sweet... And totally adores max.
Hugs mo...trish, saffi, amber, nic, kel (who I haven't seen around here for yonks), ange xx love to you all

Saffi i'm trying not to worry, she moves heaps so i keep telling myself she is fine but i've been spotting/bleeding for ages now & it's getting kinda annoying.
I'd love to know what's causing it. I keep thinking maybe it's my plug as it always regenerates it self.
I'll ask my OB when i see him in 2wks.
Trish looks like you & the kiddies have been having a great time with all the crafty things you keep posting on FB.
Trish she is a great little drawer, My mum loved drawing when she was younger she'd spend hours doing it so i really think Maddi gets it from her, it's nice to know that even tho she's not around that she still passed something on to Maddi.
Kodi has a bubbly personality & so did my Mum so i wonder what Bambi will get.
Maybe they'll share a birthday. Mum was born 21st of Sept so it's possible they'll share that.
Jules bummer about your tenants moving out, hope your able to find some nice ones & it's not too stressful.
Wow 14 months already it goes way too quickly!!
-
It would be cool for Bambi to share your mums birthday.....
It's funny seeing things go through family from grandparents. Max is built like my dad..... And Darcie does these looks like my mil. They both have the big beautiful eyes that can pull it off too!

Just gonna copy & paste.
I had some bleeding again last night & here is what happened.
They got me in nice & early this morning. I'm glad i don't go on Thursdays it's so busy & there was no parking.
Anyways, i'm starting to dilate but he said it's normal being my 3rd pregnancy, he couldn't see any reason for the bleeding but if i have any more bleeds then i need to go for an U/S. Otherwise my cervix looks normal for 28wks & a 3rd pregnancy :)
Bambi is fine & measuring on dates with a lovely strong HB.
My Iron levels are dropping fast & at this rate i'll need another infusion before i give birth because if i hemorrhage again then i'll have no way to build my blood count back up without an Transfusion or 2.
My Vit D levels are even lower & i have to take twice the dose of Vit D & Bambi will need some after birth as well because it will have an effect on her.
My GTT results were. 4.2, 6.6 & 6.1 so all completely normal.
I see him again next week & then fortnightly, till 36wks & then weekly visits.
Time is going to go a lot faster now!
-
Man Mo :hug:. How stressful for you! You make sure you take it easy as much as you can. I hope things become a little less dramatic for you, you poor thing :hug:.
-
Oh hugs mo...how stressful for you x

Things are going well here, no more bleeding & i'm really hope that is it.
Less than 80 days to go now & that's if i make it full term. She is still transverse & it's really annoying, i can not wait till she turn head down & stays that way.
Is anyone here still FB friends with Kimbaz?
-
Hey Mo, glad the bleeding has stopped, fingers crossed it stays that way! Have you looked at the Spinning Babies website to find ways to help move bub? You probably don't need to worry about it just yet, but thought I'd ask JIC. I'm not friends on FB with Kimbaz any more, why do you ask?
All is good with me, school and kinder are back this week so it's back to normal!
-
Yep i've looked Trish & i've tried that & i also did a BB Search & did some of the other things people suggested.
She is just very stubborn. My OB isn't concerned yet but i just want her to move.
I have this horrible fear she wont move & i'll need a c-sect. I know she has plenty of time to move still but i guess the longer she stays like this the more is start thinking the worst.
Stupid i know.
Kim popped up as a FB friend suggestion, I was just wondering if anyone here was still her friend.
Glad everything is going well with you, must be nice to things back to normal :)
-
Mo - great that the bleeding has stopped. ONLY 80 days to go - I don't know about you but this pregnancy seems to have been going forever. Hopefully she'll turn for you.
Trish - I saw on FB some of the craft your kids have been doing. Very creative!
My son is a typical male hypochondriac! He had a few loose stools the other night and the next morning he was complaining of a sick tummy. So not risking taking him to DC just to get a call at work to come get him we both stayed home. Well, he "recovered" so quickly! But we both had a nice day at home together and even made cupcakes in the afternoon which he was so excited about.
-
So completely random question.
If i was to buy a bulk freezer pack from the butchers, how long would the meat stay fresh for?
1 month, 2 months????
It would be stored in a chest freezer.
Second question.
I'm still undecided if we should spend $270 on capsule that will only be used for 6 months but will be easier when bubs is a newborn or spend $170 & buy M the Hi Liner & put Bambi straight into carseat.
WWYD?
Saffi it's only 77 days if i go to my EDD ;). I Will not go pass my EDD i flat out refuse to go pass it lol
I know i don't really have much choice but i'm really hoping she comes earlier rather than later. I don't know how i would cope going over my EDD.
-
Mo - Beef, lamb and chicken can be frozen for up to 12 months. Ham up to 6 months. HTH! Bummer you sold me that capsule ages ago, it would have come in handy now!! Talk to me about capsules in a PM if you want :). It's a tough one trying to decide and get the best value for money!
Saffi - Glad you had a nice relaxing day with L :). We had to do crafty stuff over the school hols because it was so wet and cold outside! We had a lot of fun though, the boys were proud to give their corner bookmarks to their teachers this week. Joel's teacher wants the instructions so she can make them for the class!
Looking forward to my mum visiting this morning, she'll help entertain K and A. I'm so tired this week, it will be nice to have someone else around :)
-
Thanks Trish so it would be worth buying it then if it stays fresh that long.
Another ? do i have to store it in a special bags so they don't get freezer burn?
Yea this whole Capsule Vs Carseat is doing my head in, The capsule we are looking at getting is the strider plus one as we have the pram so it would be easier for that reason. It's a lot of money for something that would only be used for a short amount of time & i don't even know if the re sale on them is good.
I'll send you an PM i think :D
-
Just replied to your PM, should have read your above post first though LOL. I just did an eBay search on Strider capsules and there is big demand for them! They sell second hand anywhere from $150-$250, so from a resale point of view, they're not bad :D. If you do buy one, keep EVERYTHING - the box, instructions, infant inserts, etc. and you are likely to get a very good price for it. People love anything that comes with the original box, etc ;)
As for freezing meat, I'd just wrap it a couple of times in Glad Wrap, that's all I do. The only times I've had freezer burn is when it wasn't wrapped tight enough and it came open in the freezer.
