Babies Born October - December 2005 #5

Well Jordan certainly tested my patience today. He has been awfully clingy and chucking the worst tantrums.
Cindy I might just take you up on the offer to swap :) I am sure all is well with bubs. Hope the app goes well. WOW next week possibly. Better pack your hospital bag now lucky your mum bought your toiletries. :)
Kristie, thats so thoughtful to buy present for Dyland from Louis. LOL about Louis not wanting to give it up though.

Jordan is asleep again thankgod. Hope he is in a better mood when he wakes up as we are going out tonight. Might be an early one.

Hi!

Cindy - I'm sure everything will be fine with bubba as well. Remember I had to have a late scan with Louis last time because I measured smaller and all was fine...4 days before I had him my tummy was only measuring 32cm!!! Better to be safe than sorry though...This time around I was measuring 33cm @ nearly 35 weeks so looks like I'll be under as well. My next appointment isn't until next Tues so I'll see whats happening then...Wow at maybe being induced next week!! That should make it a big reality for you! hehehe. I hope for your sake everythings ok and they can just leave you to go naturally again....

Tracey - Sorry to hear you've had a trying day...It can be sooo hard sometimes...little terrors that they are! hehe. Hope you can enjoy your night out!

chantelle has crashed and so has corey,harry and james are watching the footy show at the moment,well it is the last day of school tomorrow then it will be busy busy.
cindy you are sooo thoughtful,you are always offering to help me with the kids and now packing,hellllloooooo you are 37 weeks pregnant,but in saying that if you are bored one day next week and want to drive all this way(silly silly girl) you are more than welcome to help me pack.
i cant beleive that you might have bub soon,what date are you seing the ob again.
kristie wish happy birthday to micheal from me and grant and the kids.hope he likes his wii

nikki

Hi!

Nikki- Thanks! I shall do...yes, he woke me up at 5.20am for his pressies - just like a little kid! hehehe. He was very excited to get it as I told him we couldn't afford it yet and he'd have to wait!
Glad you had such a good night!! Sorry to hear Grants mums not going to great...

Not much happening with us...Louis is sleeping really well at the moment so hopefully that keeps up. Poor little munchkin had weed through his nappy this morning though so I'm surprised he lasted!
Off to the bank this morning with out signed forms for our new loan! woohoo. We also got enough so that we can pay off and cancel our credit cards! Yeah! No more for us (other than a visa debit card -but thats our own money) Will be such a nice feeling not paying all that interest! Otherwise will be a nice and quiet day for us which I'm looking forward too!

Chat later!!

Hi all

How is everyone..well talkd to the doc and bbl to let you all know what is going on!!

Callum sooky so talk soon!!

Well hi all again.

I took Callum to the park and he just loved it so much. He as so sooky and had to get him out.

Well spoke to the Doc's yesterday and he said that the chances of me having ectopic in the stumps as he put it is less then having an ectopic pg. So he told me that he wouldnt stop to IVF just because of that. If by chance it did happen then they would give me Meds to terminate it or if that failed then they would operate. He told me that worse case If I started to hemerage they would give me a hysterectomy if that was the case. Ive spoken to dh and we have decided that we will go ahead. Doc said I still have a good chance of getting pg and I shouldnt cease it for that reason only as its a smaller chance then 2%.
Woohoo we are still going through with it.:dance:

Krisvee Good luck with the last swimming lesson. Awww im sure DH will love his pressy...I know mine would If I was getting him that...lol Oh yes its less then 2% now so that makes me feel better...if I have to have a hyst then that fine as ive got 2 beautiful kids and alot of ppl dont have the chance to have that. Im lucky!! LOL@DH waking up early for press. Just like a kid...heheheh

Linda thanks so much for the kind words.

cindyb I know there really wasnt anything anyone could have said to make it better but know you all were there thinking of me was nice. So thankyou for that. Awww good luck with bubs. Im sure all will be ok...:hug:

Nicole have I missed some thing. What are you packing for??? Yes I spoke to the nurses over the phone and also the doc. but the doc new more about it then the nurses. We spoke for about 1/3 hr and he was really clear on what he said.

deancey Yes Callum really loves swimming so I dont know what was his problem. He is sooky at the moment im wondering if he is getting more teeth. Awww and good luck this month with TTC. I hope it happens for you!!!

oh And when Callum is up he is alert and on the go. I just cant see how he could have slept so long. Well yesterday he only slept for 2and a bit hrs all day. He is asleep now and went down at 10am so ill see how he does today. I just get so worried that some thing is going to happen to him. Im a worry wort....lol
Well gtg so I hope you all have a great day.:)

Congrats on the load Kristie

We also got enough so that we can pay off and cancel our credit cards!

---

Is that becuase you are building? thats waht I want to do, get our credit cards paid off and cancelled. I wonder if its worth trying to get this put on our house loan??? Its like its a lot, I just don't want all the different lumps of debt IYKWIM?

That's great news Missy!! I'm so pleased for you.

Em has woken at about 5am since DS finished. This morning was the same, but after her bottle, she went back to sleep until 7:45!!! I was STOKED!!! And she is going to MILs this afternoon so I should be able to get all of my work done before the weekend! Yay!!

Missy - thats fantastic news!!! YAY!!!

Hi!

Missy - Thats great news!!! I wish you all the luck ttc a new little addition to your family!
Thats great you went to the park - sometimes they just need a change of scenery!
If you are worried you can always take him to the dr just to make sure...better than worrying yourself!

Rachael - Yeah...we just wanted to cut down on our interest payments. At the end of last year we were paying probably around $1500 a month just on interest!!! AAHHH! So in other words we were going backwards with out finances. We're really not lso not good with credit cards or saving so we're just trying to the best thing for us. It does increase out m/g though and we've had to take out m/g insurance again as our loan is so high (in comparison to the value of our house) but it will more than pay for itself in the savings of interest. Also, with only having one loan we can afford to pay more off it and pay it off a lot quicker. In saying that though, yes we are looking to sell in another 15 months or so and will then build...

Linda - Yeah on Emma going back to sleep - hope you get all your work done!!

Awww thanks so much ladies for you kind works...Im soooo excited...I just cant wait to start.

This is going to be the best year ever I can feel it...

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY woooohooo yipppyyyyyyyyyyyy.....lol....

oh and wow how much you internet is.....lol

missy,YAY!!!!!!!
very happy for you.
nikki

Nikki - Go James at BBall!! Thats fantastic, one of my brothers id really good at it and is his life and has been for years now. I have my obgyn appt on tuesday arvo so once i know whats happening from that i will see when i can come out to help, perhaps thursday?? Even if i just entertain the little ones while you get stuff done, the travel is nothing!

I cant believe eater is next weekend! Is anyone doing anything exciting? Goind away or anything like that? This is the first year since al and i have been together that he is going to have most of the long weekend off, he has to work the saturday but has the friday, sunday, monday off!

Tracey - I will swap wth you any day! I think perhaps from reading on here that they must be going through a stage at the moment, they are always far better behaved for other people though. Tori has been a turd today!

I had mum here for a bit today and she couldnt help herself with her little comments on tori and how i do things and that i am going to get post natal depression coz i havent got anything ready for the new bub yet and am going to struggle to lose my baby weight coz im having them so close together bla bla bla..... It so reminded me why i moved states to begin with!! Why do mums think they can get away with this stuff? Oh also she said she has told my sister to come to the obgyn appt with me tuesday coz she would like to be involved more but i never ask for herlp from anyone.... I dont want anyone to come with me, i would rather have the time to myself without tori or anyone. I am feeling a touch crowded at the moment by my family. I know they mean well but.....

MIssy - you sound much happier today, i'm glad the doctor was able to clear things up for you. Good luck with it all, when do you start??

Kristie - how are you going? Can you believ how fast this pregnancy has gone??


best be off to do tea while tori is chilling out in the cot!

Cindy - Mums can say some things without thinking but I have every confidence that you will do a fantastic job with the new bubs. You are such a great mum with Tori, there would be no reason why you cant cope. As fo the baby weight, it will come off in its own time. think off all the running around you do after Toti, natural exercise. We are all here to help anyway if you end up needing it.
Nikki congrats on James great basketball game. Glad he had a nice bday. Have fun at the footy on the weekend
Krisite Hope DH had a great bday.
Missy yeah on going ahead with the IVF, I hope it all goes well for you.
Linda hope you managed to get your work done. Yeah on the sleep till 7.45am.
Rachael its good if you can refinance credit card onto home loan. It doesnt at all add much to your repayments. You can always enquire with the bank and see what repayments would end up being.

Had a pretty good day at work. Was very busy. So cant be bothered going back tomorrow though. Jordan learnt to say "matt" today, (his uncles name) so excited. He had a great day with nanny and had kit kat all over his face when I got there to pick him up. He is so spoilt. He was knackered though an fell asleep on the way home. I woke him up for tea and bath but then he was straight back to sleep. Hope he sleeps in a little for DH tomorrow morning.
MIL bday on the weekend so we get to tell her she is coming to NZ with us in Sept. We got a passport application to put into her card, she wont have a clue whats its for but it will be fun to tease her.
Sitting in front of the tele is on the agenda at the Dean house tonight. I am going to chuck the flanalette PJs on and the UG boots and then its time to watch some tele.
Have a nice weekend everyone.XX

Hi!

Louis was soo good when we went to the shops today - I didn't bother with the pram and he held my hand so well around the shops!!
Dh got home half tanked after being at the pub with his workmates..bugger I can't get annoyed since it's his b'day! hehe. Although he was setting up his nintendo and was lifting up a speaker without moving stuff off the top and a really heavy statue thing fell off and Louis right on the forehead. He thought it hadn't hit him but I knew by his cry it had and sure enough within a couple of minutes he ended up with a big egg on his head. Poor little munchkin...wanted such big cuddles after that. Dh felt soooo bad - it was just an accident but I think he felt extra bad because he'd been drinking iykwim? I explained it didn't have anything to do with drinking, he just should have moved the stuff off...oh well.
I'm off to bed soon...I'm wrecked! I've been going to bed so early lately....

Cindy - Nup nothing exciting for our easter! Depending on how I'm feeling we may head up for a day to Thornton (near Eildon) to visit my Dad who'll be camping with my Uncle and his family. He is fighting oesophagus? cancer so would love to get up there to visit...we'll just have to see though. Yeah on Al having the time off!
Grrr - God Mums are annoying!!!! Mine's just ignoring me at the moment...I kind of like the space but she's annoying me because she thinks she's this great mother and nanna and she's soooo not. If I end up like my mum I swear I'll top myself.....hehehe.
I'm so sorry she came out with those comments...so not supportive of you right now. I don't think you'll end up with post-natal at all!! I think you cruise along so well! You never seem stressed and seem to cope with all that motherhood throws at you! You've had it tougher than most with your living situation and having Tori in with you and the sleep issues. I know you'll be fine!! and even if you did end up with it you have lots of friends to support you (Us!!!) and there is so much help around these days as well that you wouldn't have to deal with on your own. In regards to baby weight...who cares?? That will happen all in good time and should be the last thing on anyones mind before you've even had the baby!!!!!!! The most important thing is that you're all healthy and take the time to recover and have enough energy not if you can lose a few kg...
I haven't had anyone come to my appointments...if you want someone with you I'm sure you'd ask!!!
Sorry for the rant...my mum has come out with some doozys the last couple of years and I know it's the last thing you need - I think it always makes you feel bad and is simply just not needed!!!!! As if at the end of p/g you're not tired, emotional and fed up enough as it is!!! Ok...I'll stop now...Just know that we're all here for you and sending you a big hug and smoochie!
Yeah, I'm going well. Just getting a bit fed up with the aches and pains...getting heaps of braxton hicks - some quiet strong and just a constant pressure/achiness down low in my pelvis...another couple of weeks and this bubba better make an appearance! hehehe.

Tracey - Thanks..yeah I think he's enjoyed his day!!! He's been spoilt rotten! hehe. Wow sounds like he had a huge day! He's really coming along with his words! Wow - is that a present for MIL from you guys?? Thats huge!! I would die if someone was taking me overseas! hehe. Sounds like you've got the right idea tonight!! I don't have any pj's at the moment (on my mothers day list! hehe) but trackies will work. Don't think I'll last that long up anyway. Hope you have a nice chill our though!

Wow - that was an epic....I've obviously got too much time on my hands - hehe. Not for too much longer though!! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Just a quick one from me tonight, time to get an early night i think, especially since al is sucked into the footy on tv so i will get the bed to myself for a bit!

Thanks for all this lovely words girls, i promise that i will yell if i need any help, but kristie you have to promise the same alright?? I truly do feel i have made some great friends through here! I luv yas lots and lots!!!

Till tomorrow...

It's a deal!! Nighty night!

the dees got thrashed and the traffic was awful but we made it just in time to the game
grant rang me at 2 oclock today and said he had a suprise for me,at 4 oclock a man came to my door with some keys and some paper work.grant has bought me a new prado......OMG how spoilt am i,i couldnt beleive it, we were going to buy a black one in nsw but the guy pulled out and decided not to sell so i thought that was the end of that.it isnt brand new but only 2 years old,it is silver and sooo beautiful to drive,makes my other prado look like a dinosaur.i drove it to the footy tonight and it was just devine,i have promised him some morning glory and any in between,i owe him big time.
night night
nikki

Wow Nikki!!!! What a surprise!!! :D

Hi!

Nikki - Wow on the new car! What an awesome surprise! Would have made dealing with the traffic that much easier - hehe.

WOW Nikki what an awesome surprise, You are spoilt.
Krisite hope you had a nice night. Hope Louis head is ok.
Cindy Ditto with making great friends I really do luv you guys.
Linda Hi so glad to hear is going well. Hope you got some work done while Em was away at nannas

Well today we baby sat our friends 6yr old and 19month old. It was fun. Showed us what it would be like with more than 1 kid. Jordan loved having mates in the back seat with him. he held their hands and played with them UNTIL he got mega tired and then cried when they touched him and he wanted everything they had. Gee he is so spoilt sometimes, and looses it when he doesnt get his own way.
Now house is back to normal, the kids have gone back home, Jordan is in bed and DH is watching star trek. I am going to watch some friends episodes I think.

Take care everyone XX

Wow! Its hard to keep up!
Great news about the car Nikki, you must be rapt!

Milo and I went to see my brother and his GF today. They are always coming here so I thought we would visit them for a change. Milo loved it.

He was so good tonight at bath/bed time too. DH is staying at his cousins place, so it was just Milo and me. Usually getting ready for bed is a nightmare, and we chase him all over the house, but tonight he just lay there and let me put his nappy on, and then just wanted cuddles the whole time! :) I love cuddles! I want to get as many as possible while he's still young enough to let me hug him!

Rachel - dont you just love it when they are in cuddle mode!! Tori has ben a real smoocher the last few days, she wouldnt stop kissing her cousin or aunty all day yesturday! Not that they wer complaining, well the 5yo di after a while...

My poor sister had a scare with tori while she was here, i had just finished telling her how i always end my posts on here with an uh oh for tori, you know, climbing or whatever. I went next door to get the ball that had been kicked over somehow and while i was gone my sister went inside to get a glass of water and came out to tori standing on the outdoor table and launching herself at my sister from there, so my sisters drink got smashed on the ground and she managed to catch tori mid flight but only just and tori ended up with an egg in her head! My poor sister felt so bad but what can you do with a kid like that!?? She thought i had been making things up untill then, she had only left her for 20seconds. Aparently she called my mum as soon as she got home to tell her all about it she felt so bad! Bloody Tori, im going to have to lock her in her room soon!

Nikki - wow on getting a new car! I am trying to talk al into getting me a new one too! I want him to bring home an avensis and a prado on different weekends for me to test drive. Otherwise we might get a nissan patrol or xtrail. I would rather the 7 seaters to the xtrail though but i want to check out blind spots. I have a dodgy eye and so it is really important to have nothing in my good eyes vision! Sorry to hear about the Dees, al was shattered and didnt even watch the last half i dont think! Did you stay and watch the whole thing?

Tracey - you must have had your hands full with all those kids at your place! I be jordan loved it though. Tori is in her element when there are others to watch and show off for! Hows the baby making going? I have fallen pregnant the last two times on our day 10 BDing. I remember our doctor telling us that you have to do it days 10/13/16& 19 just incase you O later than usual! Are you two being so regimented about it? It so takes any of the fun away!

Well, i must be off, the shower needs a clean so i think i might jump in there and give it a scrub while i do a treatment in my hair!

Hi!

Had a busy day yesterday food shopping and doing the housework...then headed out to dinner for dh's b'day. I didn't know it when I booked but they had a kids playground inside so Louis had so much fun running around with his cousins! He didn't go to bed until 9.30pm but coped really well! Everyone came back to our house for cake and I was soo buggered by the time everyone left. Went to bed around 11.30 but couldn't sleep properly as dh and his brothers were up until after 2am playing games and every now and then yelling out. Of course Louis was up at 7.30am this morning! hehe. We headed out to Yarra Glen market which was really nice. They have a petting zoo there so Louis had a ball with the chickens, cows, sheep, goats, guinea pigs, bunnies and they had a dog in there as well! They were all just bubba animals too which was nice. Luckily he didn't throw to much of a tantrum when we had to leave. I just made him say goodbye to them all! hehe. Anyway, I'm soooo tired now I think I'll need a snooze soon. Louis crashed in the car on the way home so hopefully he'll have a big sleep now!

Tracey - Sounds like you had a big day! Wow at looking after all the kids. I know Louis loves having the kids around but it can be overwhelming when they're not used to it!

Rachael - Ooh I love cuddles too!!! Last night before we left the restaurant and Louis was getting tired and just wanted Mumma and big cuddles!! He's also being patting the side of my face lately going "aaahhh" I love that!!! hehe. They are so few and far between with our active little bubbas now that you need to make the most of it when you can! hehe.

Cindy - OMG at Tori!! Little cheeky chops...Your sister must have got such a fright! They're just soo quick now! I can't believe she climbed up onto the table! I'm glad she's ok though other than an egg!

Hope you're all enjoying your weekends! Chat later!

Cindy - OMG!! How scary! She really is a little daredevil isn't she!!

Kristie - sounds like DHs bday went really well. Make sure you get some early nights to make up for it!

I've been in nesting mode already LOL. Have started making up Emma's 'big girl room'. I'm thinking we may move her in there in about a month so she's used to it before bub comes. It's a bit scary though!

Hi!

Linda - Sounds like a great idea!! I'll be setting Louis' big bed up soon but won't move him into it until a couple of months after Dylans arrival...seems like such a big thing to do!! hehe. Our little bubbas are growing up! hehehe.

Hey Linda, how come your avatar is censored??

We went for a walk around albert park lake this morning with my brothers GF. Milo fell asleep about half way around :)

I toolk him to the park this afternoon, and I am so not happy!!

There was another little boy there, about his age. He was sitting near some of the equipment, with his back to his family but facing me. Anyway he starts to vomit, so I tell them, and they just say oh he'll be alright, and take him to play on the next thing. Grrr. It wasn't a sick up, this kid was being sick, and no-one did anything. I had to take Milo home, cos there was nothing else suitable for his age except where this poor boy had been sick.

He is asleep now though, I don't think for very long though - Milo never has a long afternoon sleep.

Rachael - OMG that is terrible! That poor little boy! Not to mention all the germires that are being spread around!!

Kristie - yeah, I'm still trying to decide whether to take her out of the cot or not. Here is my idea. As there are 2 things that worry me: 1. falling out of bed. 2. coming out of her room 100 times a night. So with her bed (we've had it for ages) it's a trundle, where you slide out the mattress from underneath. So each night, I will just slide out the trundle so that if she fell out she would just fall straight onto the mattress IYKWIM? And 2. I am thinking of getting a gate for the doorway, so that she can't come out of her room. She's knows it's sleep time. If she has a quiet play that's fine, but I guess it's a step down from the cot, a bit more freedom but not too much. How do you think that sounds? Any input would be great!! Oh - & it was SO much fun decorating!!

The av - we swapped them all over for april fools ;) Mine must have been to naughty ROFL!!!

Milo's bed (its in our garage, it was my cousins) has a trundle too, and when we move him in to it we will be doing the same thing Linda, with the trundle being pulled out.

Hmm. Milo still has milk everynight before bed, in a bottle, in my arms.
I think I might need to work on that one abit before he goes in to his big bed....

Any ideas?

Would he have it in his cot Rachael? I SO miss that cuddle time with milk. Once I stopped bf & it was bottle, she now goes to her little pooh lounge to drink it - Miss independant LOL.

Not sure. At the moment he won't drink milk from a cup at all, even though he will drink other drink froma cup with no issue.
I don't really want to put him to bed with a bottle so I'm not sure..

Probably not the advice you're after, but I say enjoy it ;) Bottle & cuddles are lovely. :)

havnt been in cos i really didnt know how i was going to say this.............
even after having my tubes tied i have just found out that i am pregnant again.
i am a mess and i dont know what to do.
nikki

OMG Nikki. Wow. First of all congrats. I'm sure this must be a HUGE shock though, it sounds like you are a bit floored by it. HAve you seen your dr yet? Have you spoken to him about it all? :Hug: I hope you are OK

no i havnt yet linda.i am just in major denial right now.i just dont want to deal with it at all.
this just cant be happening to me. and my poor family
nikki

Are you sure then? Could it be some kind of hormonal thing? Sorry, this must be really tough. :hug:

two positive hpts,very dark lines.no mistake
nikki

Nikki I dont know what to say. I would definate suggest going to docs to make sure but WOW 2 + HPT sounds like you are pregnant. Have you told Grant? Darling I am here for you please ring me if you need anything, even just an ear to chew.
Linda the trundle bed idea sounds like a good one. I am sure Emma will be fine in the new bed. Good idea doing it before new bubs arrives.
Cindy WOW Tori is a little dare devil isnt she. I hope she is ok.
Krisite whats with the early get ups lately? Jordan was up at 6am today so I feel your pain. I am knackered and about to head off to bed.
Rachael EWW about the kid at the playground. Gotta love the cuddles though

Well today was MILs bday so she and FIL now know that they are coming to NZ with us in sept and they are excited. MIL thought she would never go overseas and now she is. It was a great day.
Heading off to bed as am completely knackered.
Night night
XX

Nikki, not sure what to say either except to have a chat to your doctor & Grant. Plese know I'm here if u need to talk.

Linda, will the new baby have his/her own room? If so, are you going to move Emma to a new room and the new baby in the nursery? Thats what a friend of our did, and the big girl bed came with the new room etc. they did it while she was pg, and it was all about her daughter being a big sister now, so she'd need a big bed etc (She turned 2 the week before her little sister was born)
