Babies Born October - December 2005 #9

I hope its just too early Missy.

Nikki, sounds great, I doubt DH will be talked into it, but I will try.
It will depend how much gardening I get done this weekend though, cos I had designated it was working bee weekend.

ETA: huge sidetrack moment here, so feel free to ignore!! *LOL*

DH was out at display homes on the weekend and still wants to move.
I am a bit iffy. It would mean getting 100% finance cos we havent sold our place yet (though i haven't looked into equity but I doubt there is much in our place, the way the market is at the moment). We wouldnt have to pay anything for 12 months or til we sell the house if its before 12 months.

I just don't know. I would love to have this house. Its in a great area, the land is really good, lots of parks etc, but the minimum repayments are what we pay now (and atm we pay $500/mth more than we have to) depending on how much we sell our place for. I'd rather trade off a crappier house for sending Milo to a better school, and being able to give him more stuff, but its the location thats the bummer, or should I say the neighbours that we have.

*sigh* oh well we shall see.

Missy - You never know what little miracle could still be growing. Benjamin took a little while to show up as a BFP. But when he did, those two little lines on the stick where there in a couple of seconds. Never give up hope :pray:

Melissa

Thanks Melissa im trying to stay pos+++.

missy when is af due?
nikki

Hmmm not really sure Nikki

collection was 15th may so I added 14days which make today. Im on Crinone gell and that can make AF late. I finish my last one today.

okay so it is quite possible that it is a little bit too early to tell.
with chantelle i did a hpt day 14 and got a - did the hpt 2 days later and got a +
good luck missy

Oh really nik. awww alot of ppl saying that. Gosh I hope thats the case with me...thanks

Missy - The TWW is there to test us all. Very nerve racking...

Benjamin is at daycare today, and I've got the house to myself. I got out feeling very energetic and mowed the lawn and hung out washing. I've spent the last 4 hours nearly on here doing bits and pieces. I have to get off here otherwise I'll never get my little brother's 18th birthday card made. Yep, my little brother is 18 today...

Melissa

Hi!

Not much happening today...just a quiet one with sick bubbas!
I've got friends coming around in a while for dinner (well take-away - no wonder I'm not losing my p/g flab!) - old school friends who don't have kids yet so they're usually awkward coming around here - LOL!

Rachael - I wouldn't pay for a quote!!! In regards to a new house - maybe you can just put it off for 12 months or so if your not comfortable??? Then it gives you a bit of time to plan and get your head around it...It's a big decision though - thats great that you pay so much extra of your m/g now though!!

Cindy - Wow! I didn't know you were keen on studying that! You guys are so similar! Looks like I'm the only lazy one amongst us! LOL! Although I have my plans when I'm finished having kids to get my Personal training certificate...should be handy up in Mansfield as there's no gym or anything and you can choose your hours as such!
How gorgeous that Tori put herself to sleep!
Gorgeous piccie of Charlotte by the way! It's so great when you can catch those smiles on camera!

Tracey - Bugger that you guys are sick as well! And af arriving as well...grrr. LOL at being more flexible...

Missy - Sorry to hear about the bfn...there's still time though!!!!

Melissa - Your day sounds so nice...I'm loving getting 1/2 hour to myself at the moment!! Good on you for getting so much done though!

Gotta go - got a cake in the oven and Dylan was due for a feed nearly an hour ago - it's so dark I'm thinking he's got he's times mixed up - LOL!

Kristie - you got me thinking - we never talk about our plans and hopes for the future for ourselves - why is that? I'm sure we all have more in our lives than our kids and our wishes for them. Your PT could work well if there isnt anyone doing anything like it there already!

Come on everyone - what are your dreams for yourself??


Well i have had a big day of appointments today - i went for my 6 week check and as expedted all is good and now i am on the mini pill (lets see if it works this time). I also went to the skin cancer clinic and hada check over and ended up having 3 things cut out and sent off. One of them nikki was my lump on my lip that i showed you, she said she hadnt seen anything like it and so thought it would be smart to cut it out and send it off. My poor body got a beating and i have to say that the ones on my chest especially arer rather sore!


well we are off to dorothys dance party tomorrow which im sure tori will dance her little butt off at!

I will be bakc later to see what everyones aspirations are - got to go eat, i keep forgetting to lately!

Well Jordan is doing a little better today. I am not sure if I will work tomorrow I will see how he wakes up whether I take him to mums or not.

Cindy I didnt know you wanted to study either. I think you would make a great midwife, you are very realxed person. Hope you have fun at dance concert tomorrow.

Nikki We will be there for the BBQ, sounds like a great arvo. Hope all is well with Grant now.

Krisite personal training would be excellent. Not only would you be earning money but you would be super fit with a killer bod.

Missy I hope its to early to test, I still have things crossed for you.

Rachael if you arent comfortable about getting a new place with a bigger mortgage I would definatly hold off. Its so hard to make those big choices.

Melissa I hope your brother has a great bday. Good on your for getting out and moving the lawns. i love the smell of newly moved lawns.

Well what are my dreams for myself??????? well i had thought of studying but I really dont think we could afford it so I have put that idea away. I would like to work in a hospital doing admin however you also need to do a course for that and I am too scared to venture out of my comfort zone at my current job. So for the moment my hopes are to extend my family by one and then maybe look into a short course and change careers.
At the end of the day though I just need a pay check, I am not overally a career driven person.

Take care ladies off to watch rest of it takes two and then all saints

cindy,not sure if you got my message....as i told you i took harry to dr again lasty weeek about his chest and they said it sounded clear again....grant was furious with that so decided hye wanted to take him back himself,i am glad that he listened to his instincts.he has broncholitis but the dr was concerned that he may have early stages of pneumonia,so he has ordered xrays for tomorrow.he wants me to stay at the surgery unil he has the results so that he can treat him straight away.he has already written a script for penicilin but hasnt given it to me as he thinks he will be writing up more tomorrow.so my day is a write off.i am rather annoyed and disapointed that the other 3 drs didnt see this and the dr i saw tonight is a peadiatrician and he too was baffled by the neglect of the other drs.so anyway we are really pleased with the outcome tonight,we can now start to help him get better...poor little guy.
chantelle and harry have both got yukky colds,i cant beleive they all have it.
grant has been an absolute honey,he is trying so hard to help and is just beautiful.

my dreams......well off to uni to do my medications administration course to go with my nursing...when finished i would love to work in an acute setting such as a hospital or dr surgery..no more aged care.i want a part time position 2 shifts a week.that would be ideal.
nikki

Hi!

My dream...a baby that will go to sleep! LOL! Dylans very unsettled tonight and I'm getting tired! I had the girls over which was good...Funny they came around to see Dylan but didn't really want a bar of him...I can understand a bit though I suppose...
Dh is having his first night out since I've had Dylan...which is fine except for those times when you really just need that backup so you can hand the baby over iykwim?? I'm glad he's getting some time out though!

Cindy - So glad your checkup was all ok! Ouchy on the getting cut up though!!! I wish I was forgetting to eat!! It's the one thing I make time for in a day or I'm cranky!

Tracey - It can be scary taking that step to do something completely different. Maybe once you've finished having kids you may me more inclined...
I'm a bit the same - I used to have big ideas but that was what I thought I was "supposed" to do..my family always think too big and have had their own businesses as such. It took me a long time to work out what I really want...which is just to earn a bit of money but not live to work!

Nikki - I can't believe the dr's missed poor Harry's cough...that just is so wrong! I'm glad things are moving along now though.
Sounds great Nikki!! You've already taken the first step!!

Well...as you all know we want to move to Bonnie Doon (anyone watching The Castle tonight? LOL?) I want at least 1 more baby and I want to build our dream home on at least 5-10 acres and have animals and when the kids are at school I will start my little fitness business...That is my absolute dream! and then when the kids are grown up I'm going to do some travelling!
It's a simple life for me! hehehe....

Chat tomorrow!

Hmm my dreams..

I would love to go back to uni and have a career change. there are so many things I would like to do. I think I'd like to do teaching or child psychology, which is what I alwsyas wanted to do at school but somehow ended up in IT instead.

Then theres the nerdy part of me. I would really like to study physics and astronomy but there are really limited career opportunities with both of those.

So I thiink I might either wait til we've done having kids, and they're all in school, and then either do a full teaching degree.

In the meantime, maybe a post grad qualification in couselling psychology.

Ah the possibilities!

Hi!

Went shopping today...bought Louis a doona for his bed!!! I'm hoping to pick up a bed rail thing this afternoon - Target had them half price but I bet they're all gone...
I can't believe he's going to be in a big bed soon!!!!

Rachael - Sounds like you have a few things to choose from! Thats great! I always wanted to be a primary school teacher but the thought of studying for 4 years freaks me out...I get bored too easy...which isn't very good...

Nikki - What time tomorrow?? Is there anything you want me to bring??

about 10-11.no dont bring anything,i am cooking a party lunch fror us and the kids.
harry had his xray.early stages pneumonia as they thought.he is on penicilin.and starts a ventilator on friday.he also has a nasty ear infection.this dr was soooo good.have to take him back friday for more monitoring.
had my hair done today too,i like it!!!!!
nikki

Hi!

Nikki - Are you sure?? Ooh party food sounds exciting!
Poor little Harry! At least now you can start treating him...you must be so mad at the other dr's!
Yeah at getting your hair done!!

I'm going to try and get an early night tonight...Dylan was unsettled last night and I haven't had much sleep. I don't want to be half asleep driving all that way tomorrow!
Whats the best way to get there??

kristie,go to the eatern freeway to the end then go past the cemetery and the zoo,then you will come to a major intersection ,turn right and then get on the tuller ,take that all the way to the melton exit,then just go straight all the way till you get to melton.
not that exciting,just some mini pizas and pastisis etc (vegetarian of course)
