Hi All
Its been mad here the last few days, I was walking the kids to school on Friday morning and we were crossing the road in front of the school a man stopped to let me cross on the opposite side and my eldest Adam went to cross the road a car came round the corner and hit him I lost it I thought she ran over him. but he was sent about 15 feet and landed on his face. he got up straight away and ran across the road and I was screaming he was screaming. I left the baby in the buggy with the two other boys and ran. people came from ever were, I knew he would be ok but his face looked awful and I was sure he would have a broken leg or something from were she hit him. but after a full check up in hospital he has a hair line fracture on his forehead and a very bad cut on his nose I thought it went the whole way through his nose. it didn't thank god. so now he is being spoilt rotten and the swelling has come down today so looks so much better.I feel so lucky he is ok and I felt sorry for the lady that hit him she looked awful as well and had two little boys who were very upset as were my two boys Eireann hadn't a clue and was an angel event went to a stranger for me.
Kerry all over the tummy bugs, Iain was sick with a bad throat infection but well on the med as well!
Mummatotwo well done on the business great to hear from you again.
Pam you should get on facebook Please !
indie24 well on the mend now and moved on to the next drama it never ends with children does it.

Hi...
Niamh oh my goodness, so scary!!!!! and happens so easily, I am very glad he is okay, a hairline fracture is bad enough, but I bet his face hurt lots more.:shakehead: I know I have to get on Facebook I will get my eldest DD to help me set up sooooonnnn;)
Kerry.. going out is a nightmare anywhere, today we went to a friends house she has 5 and 3 years boys and lots of little toys I spent the whole time trying to barracade Poppy in and getting smalll toys out of her hands and mouth :doh:
Big waves to all you girls who have'nt been around for a while nice to see you back, I hope you keep posting.
Erin, yay for swimming lessons!!! poor Poppy is missing out big time, the others all started around 6 months....???? who knows when she will start??? I don't want her to be frightened by the water you see so many school kids who are frightened when they start lessons and don't do well for ages. Good to hear Em is the star pupil:p
Me: 20 weeks US, our bubba girl has a problem... it looks like it is something that is not connected to a syndrome or anything else but still I feel nervous, never really know for sure until she is born.. I am going for a second scan at a different place for a second opin, something we decided to do beforehand JIC, her left kidney is seriously diseased it is blocked and it is'nt something that can be repaired so it will swell in her tummy as it becomes more blocked and between the ages of 2-5 she will lose it completely it apparently dies and shrivels away??? worst case senario it will need to be surgically removed if it continues to swell and is painful??? good news is you can survive with 1 good kidney and her right one is perfect, everything else looks great, so it is a problem that stands alone, yesterday I was okay, last night I was a bit teary... today I feel worried and upset but at the same time should be thankful !!!! there is some many people out there that face bigger problems and diseases or disabilities.. I guess it is natural to feel like I am???
Anyway catch you all later my next scan is Monday, i am keeping them all seperate cause i don't want one to influenece the other ???the benefits of not having decided on a OB!!! i think I am crazy, I so hope that I'm not making a bigger problem for myself, by going this way, I just don't feel i can trust 1 person alone. I need the other input.
Well thats my cr*ppy news:pray: my miracle little miss is going to have to be a tough one, I am sure she is,:pray: I can see her being very spoilt and pampered after!!!

Oh no, your poor boy, Niamh. You must have been out of your mind with worry. Thank goodness it wasn't worse. Biggest hugs for him, he sounds like a very brave lad, and great big hugs for you too. These things happen so quickly and unfortunately way too often.
Pam, I'm glad you're going to be getting another opinion and another scan. Wish you didn't have to wait until next week though. Good to know that they think it's not part of some syndrome. Will be hoping with you that the news is somehow better for your little miracle girl next Monday. :hug: :hug: :hug:
No more news really from me but couldn't read your posts without commenting! Lots of love to you both.
-
Pam, pet I would be feeling exactly the same as you, awful to worry about something like that and then the wait to have her in your arms. Im glad as well you are having another scan and I hope you hear better news. ((((((HUGS)))))) xxxxxX
Kerry thanks he is looking and feeling so much better today, very nervous on the roads we have to cross a few at one stage a car reversed out of a drive way and it was one of the noisey ones but when I saw it approach us I was rushing them all across the road, poor Adam freaked and ran back the way we came. so I was trying to camly explain to him not to do that ! the funny thing is the car was no were near us!time I guess! good news is the council was at the school to see what could be done to prevent it happening ever agan.

Hi all, my the time rushes by so quickly.
Bella isn't walking yet, but is taking a couple of quick steps between the furniture, so I am sure it won't be long now.. We have all had BAD gastro over the past week, Bella's is combined with teething and an ear infection, so it was so not fun.
Still haven't gotten her 12 months imms, she always seems to have something wrong preventing me from getting them.
Has everyone got their kindy booked yet, I haven't done it and just talking to some other ladies I reckon I might have missed out around this area, eeeekkkkk.. then got to find a prep, or we'll miss out there too. I kind of forget about all of this stuff, so will have to do a bit of digging around.
Kerry - hear you loud and clear on the heat. Dang it's been hot here, I wish I could up and move to tassie. Gee, that's sad that they are letting the lake dry up, spose, that's the problem with this awful drought.
Pam - sorry to hear that bubba girl has kidney troubles, thank the lord the other one is perfect then hey.. take good care of you x
Niamh - Oh gosh, my heart was in my throat reading about your DS, glad that the outcome was good. I reckon I would have fainted on the spot if I witnessed something like that.
Ezy - ooooohhh clucky chick now.... I had 16 months between my first two and then 3 yrs. preferred the 3 year gap myself... think I overloaded myself a little too much having 2 in nappies and being so demanding.. personal choice though in the end.
Donna - we get the drop and roll thing too if we try to walk Bella along and leg go of her hands, I can surely say that she is one stubborn girl, just like her mumma lol.
-
Hi Girls,
Pam - was sad to read about your little bubba, but let's pray a second opinion looks better, if not, she'll be a tough one alright, one of my best friends had a kidney transplant at age 35 and she's now 50 and a total success story - our bodies are amazing how they can adapt to things - but I don't blame you for being upset and worried. Let us know how you get on.
Naimh - you must have had a heart attack, thank god your little boy has bouncy bones, if he had been an adult, would probably not have fared aswell - kids have softer bones and are so much more resilient - so relieved for you all he's on the mend. Bl...dy cars!
Hi everyone else!!
I'm STILL here, bub's has engaged, so I'm hoping to go in a couple of weeks - really sore and tired this time around - being heavily pregnant with a toddler is very difficult, not to mention the taxi driver to the older two - I know it's probably not going to get any easier, but at least I'll be able to walk around comfortably!! Will report back in with any birth-related news when I get some!
Lee xoxo
-
Oh Pam what a worry!! Yes she will def be a little fighter! Lots of ppl live full healthy lives with one kidney. Good luck chook.xoxoxoxox
Lee good to hear from you. I was wondering how you were going. Not long to go now!
Jen nice of you to pop in here too, glad to hear your business is doing well.
Sue I started a thread about age gaps and now it has me more confused. A gf of mine said I think too much if I want another one have one. But I feel I need to consider it carefully. I don't want to take on more than I can handle. I know ppl say you do just handle it but given I can be a bit prone to anxiety and depression I want to know I've worked it all out!!
-
Well, the teeth keep coming. Matthew's now got an eye tooth through as well as a first molar. Very drooly and chewing on everything again. Beware the unsuspecting finger... :p
Also took him to get his picture taken with Santa, and a very real looking Santa he was too in Wagga, with a real white beard and eyebrows, nice deep voice, unlike last year's frosted eyebrows, fake beard and puny voiced fellow. Matthew was a real wriggle worm though so don't know if they'll be able to get a good one to send to me.
Erin, if I were your age, I'd just go for it! I'd love to be in a situation where I could try for a younger brother or sister for Matthew but barely coping as it is. Good luck with your decision making. So how many have we got now from our group who are the way to a new bub? Lee, Pam, Melissa, Lauren... Have I missed anyone? No wonder it's quiet in here now!
-
Thanks my lovely support group, another very through scan revealed the same results as far as my little bubs kidney, so she will be without one at some point in the near future as it appears to be barely functioning already... she has wee in her bladder so the other is working great. Everything else looks good, her brain, heart and other organs are fine, so it is isolated to the one organ, so highly unlikely to be related to a syndrome. She does have a funny shaped head though:doh: lets hope she has some hair to hide it!!!! But nothing to worry about, my DD 4 years has a similar shaped although this one appears to be more prononuced, damn, just looks a bit smaller than average.. i guess better than bigger than average???
I am off to Monash for another scan and a meeting with the genetics dept to talk about what the issues might be as far as the one kidney goes and so we are in contact with a pead kidney surgeon if it comes to it. (very glad we had our amnio done there, instead of private now)
I am 5 months preg wooo hooo, and countigng the days down, just all so stressful and nothing enjoyable about this preg so far~!!!!! ( and to think last time I was stressed)
Erin, i would say the closer age gap suited me better, i guess I was still in baby/ nappy mode and not used to sleeping a full night...I have a bit of an issue with PND /depression/ panic and have coped very well... actually better than the inbetween times.. i think your friend is right it is one of thsoe things that perhaps it will never feel like the perfect time, I say throw caution to the wind. It will be a nice gap and Emily will be old enough to understand about a new baby in your tummy etc, they say some very cute things between 2-3years and embrassing!!!!
Sue, nice to see you yuck onthe sickness, we have been so lucky...me only got a cold this winter and the kids escaped everything???? :pray:lets hope it stays that way!!!!
Kerry, more teeth!!! wow he must have a huge mouthful now...I wish you could have that baby brother or sister for Matthew..but sometimes life just thwarts us, and after all my problems would not recommended waiting this late to do it....way too:oooo stressful.
Wow Lauren congrats on baby news, I am so happy for you.. I must search for you to see how you are going???
Mel, how is it going for you, I might have to search you out as well!!
Lee doing a fantastic job, I can't wait to hear the news and am looking forward to joining you in the new baby stakes in the new year. Well Easter ish anyway, don't want her coming too early or anything.
Niamh, thanks so much for all your support, I am very glad to have it.:p
Hi to all of you, hope things are going well.
-
Pam glad to see nothing new in the scan, this little girl will be one special lady try and relax now and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy if you can. Glad I am of some help to you xxx(((HUGS)))
Kerry Eireann got two more on makes it 8 I think. she is very cross today BRRRRR
my DS is well on the mend after his accident back at school and loving it, not enjoying being kept in at break time but the boys are just to rough on the yard. Im worried he would have a fall and bang his head again so just incase a few more weeks in side.
Ireland is having the worst floods in 80 years loads of houses have been flooded under 8ft of water in some cases. parts of were I lived was flooded but we are up hill so advoiding it but its set to get worse the weather has turned very cold -2 to -4 at night and more rain forecasted its mental.
-
And another two more eye teeth through. The kid's a crocodile! Now has 12 teeth. :o
Thanks Pam, yes, it would be lovely but it's the age thing that cruels the idea for so many reasons. That, and not being in a conventional relationship... Oh, to be living in domestic bliss, lol.
Glad that your little one on the way has nothing wrong with her other kidney and nothing else has shown up in the ultrasound. Hopefully it will be all smooth sailing from here on!
Niamh, that flooding sounds horrific. Here we are watching the town's lake dry up (expected to be dry by Christmas) after eight years of drought. We've had a brief respite from temperatures in the 40s but supposed to be back to the mid to high 30s for the rest of this week. Crazy weather! Glad your DS is on the road to recovery. Good idea to try to minimize the chances of anything else happening to him. Boys sure can be rough in the playground! :p
Hope everyone else is doing well. Look forward to hearing how you're all going sometime. :)
ETA Was just reading in another thread that our Lee is being induced and is texting Spring Angel with the news when there is some! :hooray: Oh, I hope everything is going to be okay!!!! Good luck, Lee!!! Have begun cyber pacing and look forward to reading more news in the morning.
ETA2 News from Spring: Lee and her DH are overjoyed to welcome our baby boy at 11.35pm, 1st December. Flynn Jacques, 8lb 13 oz (3.990kg), perfect in every way. FANTASTIC!!!!!!! So very happy for you, Lee!! :dance: :dance: :dance:
-
Yes I just fluked it and seen the message the evening before she was inducded... the perfect outcome a very nice note to finish on Congrats Lee and family!!!
Kerry domestic bliss not all its cracked up to be!!! Well sometimes...I have to say it is nice to feel relaxed and comfortable even if it is a bit boring from time to time!!!????
-
wow, congratulations Lee and welcome to the world little Flynn. xx
Kerry, OMGosh, 12 teeth, we only have 6 so far. Not sure what's going on in Bella's gob, she has the top and bottom 2 and then 1 each only to the left of those top and bottom ones, for some reason she isn't getting the right side one's.
Pam - Glad to hear that bubba girls, going to be ok. Least you are prepared before she is here for what is to come. Can't believe that you are over the half way mark already.
Niamh, I had no idea what was going on in Ireland atm with all of the flooding, hope you and your family stay safe.
As for us, sick sick and more sick. Bella has been dreafully ill. She had vomitting and the runs, then that turned into soaring temps of 41.5 which put her into hospital. We were let out but called back in and told she has some bacteria in her blood which they couldn't identify :doh:. Wanted more blood, but decided to wait it out. Now she is coughing up her lungs and looking worse by the day.
On a brighter note, we had 3 steps this morning, I thought this day would never come. So I hope she is walking around by Christmas.
Take care all, can't believe we are getting ready for our bubby's 2nd christmas. xx
-
Poor Arabella! That sounds scary, Suzie. Hope she recovers soon, poor sweetheart. What do they think is causing such terrible gastro? She's a little champ to be taking her first steps in the midst of all that! I saw your status update on FB! And Donna's about Molly taking her first steps too - must be some secret communication going on there!
Pam, yes, good news about Lee and the safe arrival of Flynn. I like the name Flynn too but with my surname it becomes a tongue twister equal to Hannah Hilditch! :lol: How are you going for names at the moment? Would you like some more suggestions?
Matthew's got his first grazed knees. Scraped them in a spill on the concrete at the pool yesterday, ouch. Doesn't seem to be bothering him though. Latest trick in the bathroom is trying to climb into the bath (or out of it) by throwing his leg over the side. Won't be long before he's leaping onto and over things. Will be heaps fun then!
-
Hi ya!!
Sue sounds awful, here here Kerry to be taking your first steps feeling like that Arabella is certainly one determined bubba.;) I hope she is doing better now?
Kerry hows your little croc going? :rolleyes:I hope he gave away the biting with that mouthful, OUCH!!!
Donna yay on Molly walking :clap:
Us: poor Poppette, does'nt even look close to taking her first steps or talking :redface:
she has 4 teeth at the top and 3 at the bottom, she was a bit like Arabella and had 3 and 3 but got another top one, but the bottom does'nt even look close. She is veryhappy to crawl, walk around the furniture and climb??? But does'nt trust anyone but herself, so feels unsafe if anyone holds her hand etc... spends the whole time trying to grab something else!!!! Stilll only says Mum and Bubba or variations on those, but she bosses the others around and she does'nt need to talk we all understand by her pointing and grunting orders. Next year will be different, she won't have the older ones at home, so if she wants my attention she will have to talk. I am soooo hoping that she will be walking by the time the baby comes, or else it will be carrying 2 and that would be a killer. Anyway strangely enough it does'nt bother me that much, if it had been the others i would have been so impatient.. Poppy just seems a baby still!!!!..
My theroy??? She knows her spot is getting taken soon and is making the most of it!!!;)
I am 5 months 1 week preg and getting lots of kicks and movements that can be seen from the outside, well by me at least!!! As per usual you get everyone around and she gets stage fright:doh: I am not looking forward to the next few months when she kicks as hard as she does now...:shakehead:
-
Will be back for a bigger update later (When Moo isn't screaming at me) but just wanted to say that true to form Moo walked a few steps over a couplle of days and now nothing??
-
eeepppp, we have walking... well yesterday she walked all afternoon, now this morning she is just stading still and not stepping, think she is so tired from yesterday LOL. I am so excited, now I can buy her some dresses... was getting sick of dressing her in shorts all the time.
Donna - I thought after the few steps she took last week that she'd be off and was so disappointed when she didn't even attempt it again. I was at my sisters yesterday and she just got up and walked across the loungeroom and that was it, she was away, wobbly, but away... cmon moo, you can do it...
Pam - I thought the same thing with Bella, she really seems like a little baby at 15 months of age... all of my other 3 kids, they walked at around 12 months and seemed to grow up so fast. You'd think that cause we have older one's they would be a bit more advanced.. I think they like being little mumma's girls LOL. We still only have 3 teeth on top and 3 on the bottom, no sign whatsoever of anymore. I am hoping that they just pop through all at once cause she doesn't handle teething so well.
Kerry - Sounds as though you have one adventurous little boy there... plenty more grazes to come too LOL... still no closer to knowing what happened to Bella. She doens't look too flash still, very grey around her eyes and pale. She does now have a really crackly chest. Doesn't help that it's boiling hot here, we have the air con on freezing and I take her swimming every day. She get the poo's if I don't take her in the pool...
-
Hi everyone
I haven't been on in ages and I have heaps to catch up on. Just quickly from me, Ashlyn is walking everywhere now, it seems sad cause she is not my little baby any more. She is very vocal too, knows exactly what she wants and is very quick to voice her displeasure when she doesn't get it! I'm really going to have my hands full with her.
Anyway, I'm going to start reading back and catch up!!
