Cant wait to meet Charlotte
Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing well.
Cindy – A big congratulations to you and your family on the arrival of baby Charlotte. I love her name it is so sweet.:babygirl:
Tracey – Woo Hoo on Jordan’s walking!!:clap:
Kristie – I am having a guess of 8lb 1oz on the 19th of April, I have no idea why but they sound like good numbers.
Melissa – Oh I am thinking of you, I don't blame you for being scared. Big Hugs and well wishes are sent your way.:hug:
Kirsty - I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you and the family.
I meant to saw to you a while ago that I read Fergus web page and he is a little fighter. I was in tears by the end of it. You are one very strong women and reading about his life was so beautiful, you must be just so proud of the little man he has grown up to be.
morning all,
kristie how are you today?
danni,great to hear from you.
cindy told me she is expecting to be home this afternoon,she said the girl in her room was a dipstick and her friends were idiots LOL!
off to paint AGAIN.
NIKKI
Hi!
No news from me unfortunately...I've really hurt my hip/groin from all the walking so Michael's banned me from any more! hehe. Again, a few pains here and there but nothing major. Louis is going well and slept in until 7.30am for me today thankfully!
Dani - Thanks for your guess! Glad you're well!
Nikki - I so remember those times in hospital - I hated being in there and sharing...I'm hoping to come home early this time around as well if all goes ok. I'll have to message her later because I'm hoping to go and visit if she's up to it! Maybe Dylan will realise he needs to get a wriggle on! hehehe.
Chat later!
Congrats Cindy!!! Well done!!! I can't wait to hear all about it! Welcome Charlotte!
Dani so nice to hear from you, glad all is well.
Kristie hope you take Michaels advice and stop walking. You dont want to hurt yourself. Dylan obviously isnt in any hurry to make an appearance.
Nikki Hope the painting is going well.
Cindy thanks for the pic of Charlotte, she is gorgeous. I think she looks like Tori in the eyes and nose. I real little princess. Hope you are well and can come home.
Well today at work was awful. 4 people were away so I had to do all their work aswell as my own. So unimpressed. I also have to go in tomorrow and finish what I couldnt today and then do saturdays normal work. Gee I need another holiday :)
Jordan is doing so well with his walking and I am so proud of him. He is also starting to just stand still which is great. He had a great day at his nannas, she loved watching him toddle all over the place.
Having an early night as so tired. Jordan woke up at 4am, I think cause he was cold in his own bed and then came in with us. Supid alarm went off at 5.40 though (hate alarms) and then it was off to work.
Have a great night, hope you have a nice weekend
ok girls,i just got a call from cindys freind,nikki.and unfortunantly we were too slow at securing wiggles tickets,they sold out again,not to worry.
nikki
bugger, thats no good.
Oh well. We can put the CD on next time we catch up. Maybe us mums can all wear skivies (very attractive). :)
tracey how did you get to view the photo,on the site it says to log in with ph number and password but i dont have a password?
nikki
Hello girls!!!! I leave for a day to have a baby and boy do you girls get chatting!!
Well, it all went well and now i am a mother of two little princesses! How scarey. The birth went really well and i am feeling fine, managed to go without pain relief again which is a bonus but i am telling you if it had of gone on for much longer, i would have been begging for something!!
My Charlotte is tiny so al actually spent most of yesterday shopping for 00000 clothes coz i think she will be in them a while.
I had forgotte how hard the feeding part of it all was when they are so little. i already feel like a cow! Coz she has a heap of growing to do now she is out in the big wide world she will aparently feed every 2hours ish! Fun fun fun!!!
They were glad they got her out early coz the placenta didnt look real good at all so they told me! They cant find any reason for this though oh and also i had hardly any fluids around her either!
Enough about me though - how is everyone?? I feel like its been days but it hasnt, its only been a day!
Kirsty - i'm sorry to hear your news, i hope they can get you in for th D&C soon.
Everyone - bugger about the wiggles!! Ilike Tracyes suggestion though! i expect to see her in costume in the next few weeks!
Nikki - how much more painting my love? Are you sick of it already? HOw are harry and chantelle handling being in care? How aer you handling not having them with you? I;m glad nikki called you, she is a bit shy sometimes so wondered if she would actually call you!
Kristie- thanks for coming to visit today! Tori had a ball with her mate louis! I cant believe how cute they were together with their cuddles! they even bumped into the wall during a embrace and kiss girls!!
Best be off, the new addition is screaming and i am trying to stretch her but my boobs are saying now is the time to feed! I cant believ my boobs are like 3 times the size of her head!
Wow Cindy! Can't believe you are back already! Sounds like the birth went really well!
cindy,i want to see a pic,pleeeeease.
nikki
Ok well I'll get back to the topic at hand...
Coz I'm getting jealous of Kristie and want another bub!!
But when should a bub be crawling Nixon is nearly 6 months and is on all 4 and rocking... will he be off soon or does it take a while after that for the mobility to come... He likes to try out this trick on the change table...
OOPPS HOW EMBARRASING

Kristie- where are you? are you having dylan? Did the pains yesterday turn into something?
Nikki- i have sent you a pic from my mobile to your dodo email account. i hope it works!
gotta go, will talk more later!
Congratulations Cindy on the safe arrival of your beautiful girl. Aren't you a clever mumma!!! I must say I absolutely adore your name choice. He he I didn't want to vote for Charlotte as that is a name we've been considering, norty I know. I absolutely wholeheartedly LOVE it. Is there any chance you could please email me some pics of Charlotte to?
Hi to everyone else. Hope you're enjoying superb weather today. Can't believe it's mid-April and soooo warm here that we're in summer clothes again today!
Well I had my little op yesterday and so am now officially without bubba in tum. :( My Ob this time is the same one I was with during my preg with Gussy. It's good having a history together as I really trust him and I really like his style - extremely caring and professional. The hospital experience was good too. I felt very nurtured. I was super tired yesterday after the general anaesthetic and quite crampy but thankfully was only in hospital for the day. I'm feeling a little sore and battle worn today but am otherwise ok. Thanks for your kind words during the week. I really appreciate you guys!
It seems like our little family has been going through a lot lately, hopefully we're up for a change in luck and some more normal times. xx
ps Danielle, ta for looking at Gussy's website and thanks for your sweet comments. :D
mmmmm.no kristie,not like her at all,maybe she is just out and about,might message her i think.
cindy,got the pic,she is adorable,i too see tori in her.how big is she in pounds and ounces?
how is tori going with her,i hope she is smitten with her and lovely and gentle,hopfully she is young enough not to be jealous yet,like chantelle and harry.how are you feeling,have the blues hit.they get me every time.you are a super girl and i love ya heaps.
kirsty,i hope you are holding up ok emotionaly,i really feel for you right now,a big hug for you,gotta go,harry is crying
nikki
Cindy glad to see you are home and all is well. LOL about feeling like a cow again. How is Tori with Charlotte? WOW 00000's that is tiny.
Nikki hope painting is all done. Will I see you at playgroup this week?I got photo on my phone off Cindy, I didnt need to use the internet?
Kirsty I am glad everything went well at the hopsital and I hope you and the family are ok.
Well Krisite isnt here so maybe thats a sign Dylan maybe on his way......
Work was ok today, felt like I got nothing done though as it all kept coming in as quick I was getting it out.
Looking forward to a nice relaxing arvo and night. Might get some BDing in :)
Chat later XX
Cindy - Good things come from small packages...:D
Kristie - Are you off secretly having your little man, or are you just busy getting things ready for his arrival?
Tracey - You know that once you get them started they don't stop...Benjamin has learnt that running is the easier option, especially when he has something he's not meant to have.
Still waiting on a date to go see the specialists in Brisbane. Had a cat scan done of my lower abdomen yesterday. Won't know the result until I get that specialist app.
Melissa
Melissa - good luck with the appt, surley everything will work out ok! Its scarey when this sort of thing happens though isnt it!
Kirsty - I will send you the pic i sent nikki - will be from my mobile so will come up with a mobile number in your inbox. We cant find the cord to put the digital camera photos on the computer at the moment!! Hopefully it will turn up soon.
I'm glad for your own sake that you were able to get in already forthe D&C! Its not fun but atleast its over with and your body and mind can get on with healing. Your family has been through so much lately! I hope guss is doing better
the nurse came today and is really happy with everything, charlotte has a little bit of jaundice but not to bad although i have been struggling to wake herto feed herthis arvo - will give it another go in a minute! Sounds like she is crying atthe moment so maybe she has woken for it herself atlast!
Tori is being so bloody good with her, she wont stop kissing her and as soon as someone picks her up she goes over to pat her and give her another kiss! No jealousy at all atthe moment. I was really worried she would beat her up or something.
Nikki - did you hear from kristie? message me if you hear anything! I might give her a try too but i dont want to bug her!
best be off to do the feed, round 2 of visitors just left!
Till later my loves!!
I forgot to mention - 2.6kg is about 5lbs 8 oz! Oh so tiny! One of my friends commented today that she is so small you can actually see how she fit in me! You know how you see bubs and they look small but you think how the hell was all that in there - not this one, you can almost see how she was folded up in there!
Hi Cindy, I've received your pic. Charlotte is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Sooo pretty, teeny and perfect. I can't believe she is here... feels like only yesterday that you were announcing your pregnancy... LOL, I'm sure you don't feel the same way. :) Thanks so much for sending the pic. xx
Hey guys!!! Will jump on later - have been out and now have visitors!
Still no Dylan!
Chat later!
Hi!
Well I've been busy busy!! hehe. My brother & sil visited yesterday and then we went and visited Cindy, Tori and little Charlotte! What a gorgeous little girl she is! I can't believe how small she is (even though Louis was about the same size!) She's just exactly the same as Tori! Cindy's looking fantastic and doing an amazing job!!
Raced home and got fish and chips and then dh and I headed out to the movies - we saw stomp the ground - which was quite good for a dance type movie. During the arvo from when my brother was around I was getting regular pains - some of them pretty good as well and I had them all afternoon and night until we got home from the movies and then they all stopped. Haven't had them as much today but have had lots of bh!
Today we had our carpets cleaned at 8.30am and then headed off to do food shopping. Bought Louis this great little car - just because he's spoilt - you press buttons and it dances to mc hammer - he loves it because it zooms around as well! Then settled in for a dvd - the hours - which is complete rubbish and I didn't get any of it!! hehe. Just as I was falling asleep through it Louis woke up and then we had friends drop in. Ended up getting pizza for dinner (urgh - I'm so over junk food) and have finally cleaned up and have just sat down....needless to say I'm wrecked and will be heading straight to bed after I've answered emails...
It always gets to this time of night and I'm happy to have not had Dylan for another day as I'm sleeping really well! Then I wake up and I'm ready to have him again! hehehe. God knows how I'll cope with the sleepless nights all over again!
Tracey - definitely no more walking! You're right - he's certainly in now hurry. Believe it or not I've actually lost a bit of my impatience (could be cos I've been running around though!) when Louis woke up after his sleep today we had the biggest cuddles and he actually fell asleep again for about another 20min... It was so nice and I realised I really just need to appreciate the time we have left together as a little family of 3!
Bugger about work - hope you enjoy your Sunday tomorrow!! (and a fun night tonight by the sounds!)
You poor thing getting up so early...I must admit I can't remember the last time I had to set an alarm - Louis is as much as I need lately! hehe.
Not so sure about the dressing up as wiggles! maybe we should leave that to the kids - lol!
Nikki - Bugger about the wiggles tickets...grrr! It's worse than a rock concert! hehe. We finally dtd last night! still no luck - Dylan is way to comfy! hehe. Thanks for the message - I got one from you and Cindy - mad me feel very warm and fuzzy to know you guys were thinking of me! Didn't mean to get your hopes up though!
Hope your having a great weekend and getting all your painting and packing done! Your going to need a holiday after this!
Cindy - I can't believe your back on already!!! Hope you're getting some rest!! You're so amazing with no pain relief - I hope I have it like that this time! Little Miss Charlotte is just gorgeous!
Yep - Tori and Louis were great together! I loved it when they were putting the water on their heads - getting into mischief together already! Little cheekies having a cuddle and kiss - have to watch them when they get older - hehehe.
LOL at your boobs being bigger than her head!!
I had my camera and everything and couldn't believe when I got home that I forgot to take photos...My mind is just not working at the moment!! Grrr.
Tori was just gorgeous with Charlotte - very loving and gentle! Its so nice to see! I'm sure they're going to be the best of friends! Thats great that everythings going well and the nurse is happy - Louis had a bit of jaundice as well...a bit of sunshine by the window and it cleared up really quickly! Hope your getting some rest in, inbetween visitors!
Kirsty - I know - the weather is just beautiful down here as well! I'm loving it because it dries the clothes! I hate winter when I have clothes all over the ducted heating vents trying to dry them - hehe.
I'm glad you've had your op sooner rather than later...I'm wishing you and your family lots of luck as well!! I'm sure it will all come to you!! Big hugs!
Melissa - I hope you get an appt soon! It's horrible having to wait around...Sending you lots of luck! Hope Benjamin's giving his mummy lots of cuddles at the moment!
Well, I think I've made up for not posting earlier! LOL! Sorry for the novel. Am spending the day at home tomorrow pretty much so will chat with you all then...now I'm off to bed!
Hi guys! Im jsut wondering if anyone has heard from Missy. Last we heard Callum was in hospital and now it's been ages since we've heard from her. Does anyone have contact details for her? Hope everyone else is doing well xoxo
No I haven't....geez I hope everythings ok...Let us know if you hear anything!
Meg -- Kelly (bellybelly) might know some contact details?
Not sure who else would have them.
mmmm,hope all is well with her and callum.
nikki
we picked up our new car today,tis just georgous,i feel extremely spoilt.
go the demons!!!!!!
nikki
Yeah for getting your new car Nikki! Must be soo nice!
I'm in a bit of a state today...just over it all really. Having pains 5-8min apart heaps but they're just not going anywhere - managed a bit of a nap but I'm just so cranky. I think because of this Louis is being trying as well...urrgghh I just don't know how I'm going to get through potentially another week or more...
oh kristie,hang in there sweety,i guess in some ways you probably feel like you are overdue considering louis was 2 weeks early.i think we all thought you would have had bub by now.just try to enjoy the little time you have left with just you,micheal and louis.
it will be happening before you know it and then you will go through the emotion of feeling sad that you are not pregnant anymore.
love ya matey
nikki
Thanks Nikki!
I know...I go from that feeling to one of just wishing it was all over! hehe. I think I would be coping better if I didn't have all the pains all the time constantly reminding me that it could happen anytime but isn't! hehe.
Dh and I have been playing some music this afternoon which has lifted my spirits - hehe. Showing our age with red hot chili peppers and pearl jam etc...Louis hasn't really knows what was going on but has happy dancing away with us anyway! LOL!
Just cooking roast for dinner and think I'll chill out before another early night...
Krisite hope you have a nice night LOL about you all dancing around in the loungeroom, thats something I would do. :) Dylan will be here before you know it so dont worry.
Nikki Yeah on the new car. How is the house?
Cindy sounds as though you are doing very well being a mother of 2. we all knew you would though.
Meg Not sure who would have her contact details?
Rachael hope you had a nice weekend.
Melissa how are you doing?
Today has been great. Jordan slept in till 8am YEAH! so I got a sleep in aswell. We had a great play today but coped a few injuries. 2 lots of fingers james in doors and a cut chin from falling from walking. OH WELL he is ok, cuddles cured everything. I am so not used to him walking still, he looks so strange doing it.
We just went and showed him off to our friends, I am so proud of him. :)
Just cleaning up the house now, whilst Jamie makes more mess in the kitchen. He is cooking cadbury muffins YUM, with Jordand help so there will be plenty of chocolate everywhere.
Better go and put the clothes away so chat later.
XX
Kristie, I've been sending you labour vibes all weekend. Seems like I've not been very helpful so far though. I really feel for you at the moment. It must be tough waiting out the last couple of weeks, esp when you thought (hoped!? LOL) you might go a week or two early. As you say, I guess this time is a great chance for you to enjoy some sleep and special time with your DH and Louis.
Tracey, Soooo proud of Jordan. What a clever boy. A whole new world has definitely opened up for him now. There have been soooooooo many more accidents in our house since Gustaf started walking. It makes things interesting. Cooking sounds like it would have been fun. Hope you took some photos... Yummm wish I could pop over to eat some of your DH's cooking. :)
Nikki, Congratulations on your new car. I'm very jealous! :) Hope you were able to have some relaxation time this weekend and that the whole weekend wasn't full of work (children, old house, new house etc).
Meg, I've been wondering about Missy to. Hopefully her silence is because she's caught up doing other fun things and/or away from a computer. I sent an email to Missy this evening. Haven't heard back so far. Will let you guys know if I hear anything.
Cindy, I hope little Charlotte is starting to feel less sleepy at meal times. It's a tough time trying to keep them awake to feed. I really remember that phase with Gus as though it were only yesterday. Hope you are getting some sleep and that your DH was able to help out lots over the weekend. Will he be able to take some time off work this week to?
Melissa, I've been thinking about you and sending you loads of positive healthy vibes. Hope your CT scan brings happy news and that you can get in to see your specialist asap so you don't have the worry of the unknown hanging over you for long. xx Big hugs xx
Hi Rachael, Linda, Missy, and everyone else. Hope you are all having a great weekend!
I'm feeling much better this evening - still a little achey and crampy but much improved from yesterday. We had a really nice day today. We spent the morning at Lollipop, a kids play gym. I thought Gus was going to explode he was soooooo deleriously excited. He literally ran wild for over 2 hours. There was a Little Tikes ride in car there which he completely monopolised once he got a bit tired from all the sliding, climbing, jumping and ball pit playing. Think I'll have to try to hire one of the little cars from the toy library. We've got so much plastic in our house these days that I don't think I can handle another big thing unless I'm sure it's more than a passing phase. Gus was soooo tired after all the activity that he slept almost four hours this afternoon. Soooo nice for DH and I as he normally only sleeps for 2 or 21/2 if we're lucky. We had a great time together without him. Think we'll have to make the play gym a regular Sunday morning thing so we get mummy and daddy time in the afternoon. It was so nice, we spent the afternoon curled up together enjoying the sensational weather, listening to music and chatting. Ahhhh soo needed after our tough week. Can't wait for my body to sort itself out so I can get back to BDing he he. That would have made the afternoon even better. LOL
I've decided I'm going to start to pay more attention to my health and fitness. I have let things slide quite a bit over the past few months. Really since Gussy started on his nasogastric feeds and my whole nighttime sleep became a bit non-existent. I still very much feel like I'm mothering a newborn in the sense that my sleep is soooo broken due to the kangaroo pump Gussy's hooked up to. It still alarms or he gets tangled in it or vomits or the the tubing needs flushing or the forumla replacing so I'm having to get up to him at least 8 times a night which means there's still no real chance for good long unbroken sleeps. But as he's not looking like eating anytime soon, this seems to be the way things are going to remain for a loooong while yet. I better get used to it and start to pull myself together a bit more. Tiredness is such an easy excuse not to get out and exercise or eat properly, but those things would probably actually make me feel a whole lot better. This miscarriage has made me think about a few things. Whilst I realise that I didn't do anything to "cause" it, I was probably not in the best shape for pregnancy (mentally or physically), so I'm going to work on changing that over the next couple of months before trying to get back on the proverbial horse. Aghhh this is turning into a HUGE post. Talk about blabber mouth. I'm probably typing this out in an effort to convince myself that I mean to commit to this...he he.
Hi!
Thanks guys...Hopefully I'll feel better after my dr appointment tomorrow...even just to hear Dylans heartbeat will be great as he's definitely slowed up a lot in there and I'm only feeling him a few times in a day now...
Trace - Yeah on the sleep in and showing off Jordan! hehe. I'm glad he didn't hurt himself badly...mmmhhh choccy muffins...I have to hurry up and finish our easter eggs before dylan arrives cos there's no choccy after that until I get back to my pre p/g weight! hehe.
Kirsty - Good for you!! It can be hard to start with but I'm sure you'll feel great for eating well and getting in some exercise HOWEVER don't be too hard on yourself. You are so much on demand at the moment and with not much sleep you don't want to overdo it. I don't blame you for letting it all slide when you've got sooo much to do. I think you're a supermum for sure!!
Glad your feeling a bit better. You're afternoon with dh sounds like just what the dr ordered! Sounds like a great idea going to the play centre!
Well, going to watch some rove in a bit and then another early night!! Chat with you all tomorrow!
Thanks for listening to my whingeing as well...I'm know I'm pretty good at it at the moment! LOL!
Well I'm off to a good start. Gussy and I have already been out for a nice walk around the waterfront and parklands near our house. Such a great way to start the day! Now off to make some yummy breakfast.
Hi Kristie, Thinking of you. Hope your dr's appointment goes really well today. xx
kristie you poor poppet!! Dylan will be here any moment now and you will be able to give him big cuddes while telling him off for making you wait so long!
Kirsty- sounds like your arvo with dh was exactly what you needed! sounds like you got a chance to do some thinking, you sound so motivating! Gus is a very lucky boy to have you as his mum you do such an amazing job with all of his needs!
Nikki- woohoo on the car! did you trade yours in? Alo wasasking how grant went with all the crap with the other one??
Tracey- poor jordan and his accidents! hows the baby making going?
Well al is back at work today so the fun starts now. I think my biggest problem is going to be keeping toris kisses for her sister under control! i went to the kitchen for a minute this morning and charlotte had peanut butter kiss marks all over her head!
So far charlotte seems like a better sleeper than tori was and the nurse weighed her yesterday and coz my milk came in so fast she has only lost 20gms!!
got to go, being yelled at by princess victoria!
Kristie - hope to not see you in here & that you are off having Dylan instead!
Hi to everyone else. Sorry have been a bit MIA of late, been pretty busy.
We got our new Mac yesterday, I'm in love. Now I am just waiting on my new monitor to go with it.
Cindy your girls sound gorgeous! I guess you can rule out peanut allergies for now!
Kirtsy, good luck! I hope things go well. I am going to try hard to get back to the gyn this week. I had been going 3 times a week, but then owrk schedule all this out of hours stuff, so there went my gym time.
This week there is a lot less so I will have to be good. Not tonight though, off to visit Danni & Junior
Missy - I hope we hear from you soon, thinking of you.
Tracey, Jordan will be running before you know it! Heh heh...the fun starts now!
