[Krisvee]

Hey Nikki - Thanks for the call earlier!! Was nice to have a chat! I'm so looking forward to catching up with you all next week!

LOL - Cindy?? Any news???

[cindyb]

Sorry girls looks like i am breaking the tradition! NOthing to report at all, except that AF arrived last night! Al did tell me last night though that he isnt saying no forever to whether wee have more kids - just no for atleast the next 12 months.... Wants to get settled in the new house etc.
I'm not sure how i feel about it though, I'm pretty ready to close that book and just get on with enjoying my princesses! It does make me sad though...BUT i am planning on becoming a midwife so hopefully i can get all my cluckiness out there! - going to start my study 2010!

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Cindy - How funny that you got af last night (iykwim?) Means our cycles are about the same anyway so if you were p/g you would have found out in the next couple of days or so!! Very strange!!
Fair enough too!! Thats great that you're going to study in a couple of years!! I suppose the boys don't realise that our life just goes on hold basically while we have babies...there's got to come a time when you want to move on with your own stuff again!
I'm sure I'll be very keen to do that when the time comes!!! I have heaps of stuff I'd like to do - mostly though I've gone back to the idea of Primary teaching...but we'll see how I feel when the time comes!!

Better go, meant to be somewhere in 20min and I haven't had a shower yet - LOL! God, I'm always running late...I just shouldn't turn my computer on in the mornings - LOL!

i just went down to the shops with my kids and as we got back to the car james says mum are those kids in the car by themselves,i look over and there is a little boy about 4 yo and a baby girl probably 1.the windows were down so we waited to see if they were goiung to be on there own for long,it was currently 34 degrees we waited 10 min utes and then i got very angry and got security,while waiting for security to come a young teenage girl came to the car looked in said something to the kids and went back into the shops,WTF!!!!!we waited another 5 mins and security finally came,at that stage i explained the situation to him and drove away.he headed towards the car.
what are people thinking these days!!!!!i hope he took the kids out of the car and called the police.STUPID ****EN MOTHER....

[Krisvee]

Omg Nikki! Thats terrible!! I hope the security guard got the kids out...

I must say though that I sometimes run into a shop (one I can see in through the window iykwim?) and leave the kids in the car - but never when it's hot - not even warm as I know the car heats up so quickly!! I usually feel guilty even leaving them in the car when I pay for my fuel! LOL!

[nicole mckay]

kristie i ran into autobarn this morning it was 9.30 it wasnt even warm yet and i rang ahead and asked the guy to have the item i was picking up at the desk for me,it wasnt an item i had to pay for ,i was in and out in 60 seconds watching the kids through the doors the whole time,that i think is ok,what angers me is that this lady left her kids in the car for a minimum of 15 minutes in 34 degree heat,who knows how long they were there before we got there or how long it was that she came back after we left.

[Pandora]

oh Nikki, thats awful. if you call the racv they will place it as a priority and come and smash the window or break in to the car.
I hope security broke the window and unlocked the car

Hi girls, Sorry I've been MIA for a while to. Poor little Gussy developed golden staph in one of his incisions from his operation and has been a very sick little boy. On Sunday night a large internal puss filled abscess associated with the infection burst which meant his temperature peaked at 40degrees (!!) and he was in loads of pain over the weekend. We're hoping that means the worst of it is behind us now. Has been a really tough couple of weeks. It will be 3 weeks tomorrow since his operation, so this infection has been a really nasty one!

Cindy, I am sooooo sorry to hear about Tori's tooth. How lucky she had a quick thinking level headed mummy on board. I hope her tooth reattaches. My brother did the same thing as Tori at about her age. Mum said it was one of the scariest times as a mummy.

Kristie, CONGRATULATIONS on the pregnancy. Wow! How clever of you, if my calculations are right you'll have about 18 months between each child. What a great age gap. I love your name choices. I think Ethan is perfect! It fits really really nicely with Louis and Dylan as well as your last name. Lily is a beautiful name as well. On of my girlfriends had triplets (naturally conceived) in December and named one of the girls Lily. So cute.

We think we have decided on DS2's name now. Thanks for all your feedback on the various name options we were tossing about... We've decided on Tobias Rafferty and we'll call him Tobe or Toby (Tobe is apparently the Scandinavian abbreviation for Tobias, rather than Toby). Tis exciting to be able to refer to him as something other than "baby boy" when I'm talking to my tum, or about him to Gussy etc. I've been bleeding heavily again over the past 3 weeks. Must be due to the increased activity levels associated with going to and fro various specialists, hosptial and the ER department etc. So much for the bed rest orders.

Nikki, the adventure park sounds like a lot of fun. Well done managing to do it on your own.

Tracey, how lovely that so many of your friends are pregnant. When I had Gussy I was the only one in my long term buddy circle who was preggers. Everyone else was either single or a couple had 5 and 7 year olds. This time around it's like every second friend is pregnant or has just had a baby. Soo much more fun! xx

Rachael, hope Milo's tooth is ok. What an amazing coincidence that Milo and Tori both hurt their toothypegs in the same week!

Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all well.

K xx

Kristie- we had ethan and xavier as our boys names! And we had Jorja - spelt that way too as our second choice for chacha!

Kirsty - sorry to hear poor gussy is having more dramas - nothing goes smoothly for the little bugger! Also sorry to hear about your bleeding too - that must be a stress on it own!

Toris tooth surprisingly looks fine now - i am going to take her for an xray though just incase its not fantastic - not that he can do anything with it but ak=tlest we have an xray to compare to in the future then!

Oh - my chacha is walking! YAY!!! Looks so funny- she is still very wobbly and only doing short distances but its a start!

Nikki- how sis you go with your tests etc for your hip?

[nicole mckay]

kristie i LOVE both of those naes they ae absolutly georgous.i have always loved the name ethyan and lily is such a pretty feminine name.
as for the book look bring as much stuff as you can get hold ofcos i have a vary wide range of ages coming to the party.i am also looking forward t it aswell although a little nervous.grant will be in sydney for the whole weekend( another weekend on my own) and at this stage it looks like a huge crowd coming.it will be fine just chaotic.
Kirsty.i love the name you have chosen.my god little gussy has had it all.has the staph cleared up,it can be a vey nasty thing.i too am praying that this is the last of all the speed humps for this litlle fighter,i there is a god it will be....
well i took james corey and chantelle to moomba last night i also took my neice and nephew and they were all so perfect.it was a great night and chantelle loved the fire works.we sat right next to the river and we all got struck in the face and eyes by the debri none of us were hurt but it was a bit unnerving.i am really pleased we went,we didnt get home till 11 pm and the kids were tired this morning getting them all up and out of the house by 8am.i think we will try to relax a bit for the next week now.
ok have a great day everyone and chat soon

[nicole mckay]

cindy the tests came back all clear

[cindyb]

Good to hear! Although i suppose it still doesnt give you a reason as to why you are having the pain!

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Kirsty - Poor Gussy...Oh what a trying time you guys have had...I hope the bleeding stops soon...How's bubba going though?? Growing well I hope! Yeah at picking a name!! How gorgeous!! Yep - may be closer to 19 months between Dylan and no3 depending on dates...Just not sure...I'm so excited to have a scan in a couple of weeks just to confirm...
It must be nice for you to have friends all around having babies like Tracey....I've only got one school friend thats had a bub and my best friend is currently ttc...Mine will probably be all grown up when my friends start...LOL.

Cindy - How funny the names are the same...I swear we must have been related or something in a previous life - LOL! Thats great that Tori's tooth looks ok - thats amazing - sounds like a good idea to get an x ray anyway...
Yeah at Charlotte walking!! Woohoo - what a clever girl!!

Nikki - No worries - I'll bring as much as I can..may just depend on whether she is doing one herself...Wow - your making me nervous talking about all of these people - LOL! I'll make sure I leave early so I have plenty of time and can give you a hand if you need!
Glad you had a great time at Moomba - Wow - you must have been sooo close!! I bet you're all wrecked from such a big weekend!! Sounds like a plan to take it easy now...
Thats great your test results are all clear!

Ok - better get the kids ready for swimming...think I might have to get some chippies on the way...nausea's kicked in this morning...LOL!!
