Hi ladies!!!!
Wow - reading what all the bubs are up too is great!! Remy is just rolling everywhere - no sign of crawling yet!! She LOVES food, and is starting to eat more chunky stuff, and more of what we eat - so very little puree-ing now!! It's so much easier when they can eat what you do.
And do you all want me to let you in on a little secret - I got a :bfp: on Friday - so my little Remy will hopefully get a sister or brother/playmate in her own age bracket - she was the main motivator for me - so hoping all goes okay. I'm 40, and well aware of things that can go wrong - but hoping all's fine! And as for the timing - bub will be due Christmas Day !!!!
Am I the first in this thread to go again???!!! Am I crazy???!!! Probably!!!??? Going to have to change my car - going to be very busy, but am thinking we will muddle our way through!!!!
Will keep you all posted how I'm going.
Hugs, Lee xo

Hi ladies.... we had needles today, FINALLY, 2 months late eeeekkkk. We weren't able to have the drop stuff though cause they need to have it by a certain age :doh:, silly mummy. The first needle was ok but the second one must have really hurt cause Bella spewed all over me just as it went in, poor baby. She cried so much and was calling "mumma mumma mumma"....
Sleepless night on the way me thinks, cause Bella's stirring and sooking again :rolleyes:. BBL girls.. maybe;)
-
Hi everyone, I haven't been in much because sleep has been non existant. Sooo sooo tired. I'll just give a quick update because I doubt Ashlyn will be asleep for long. She now has 3 teeth, 2 bottom ones and one up the top on the side. Looks like she has fangs, lol. So many clever babies here, clapping and sitting up. Ashlyn has only just gotten the hang of sitting up, after she fell over and banged her head. She's still a very happy girl though, she's pretty cruisey so I'm not expecting her to do anything in a hurry.
Lee, Congratulations!!!! Fantastic news.
I will try to bbl for personals. Hope you're all doing well!

Hello Ladies!
Captain ~ Don't worry, Seven isn't crawling either and showing NO signs of being anywhere near doing it. She hates being on her belly. I reckon she will just walk! Poo bum about the sleeping, but I also hear you on that note, as Seven doesn't sleep for more than 45 mins during the day and 2hrs at night. Chin up, they grow up too fast and we wonder where our babies went!
Nic ~ Good luck with Arabella, heres hoping the needles haven't made her too grumpy for you. We still haven't immunised Seven, but I took her off to the homeopath the other day, and started her on a remedy. Lets see what happens....
Lee ~ Congratulations!!!!! Woo hoo! I am dying to be pregnant again, but I am not going to, not just yet anyway!!!! Good luck for a smooth pregnancy! Can't wait to follow your journey!
Us ~ DH is being much better with Seven. Went back to the Dr on Monday for a chat and it was all positive, so fingers crossed it stays that way!
Hi to all I have missed!
PS ~ I'm thinking of becoming a Doula! I've been to so many friends' deliveries its kind of the logical next step! I studied Midwifery but I wasn't going to be able to practice the way I wanted so I didn't finish. But I reckon I would make a pretty good Doula! I hope at least!
Love & Hugs

Hi girls -
Kell - I think being a doula would be a very wonderful job! I say go for it!!
And for those of us whose bubs are not crawling - enjoy!!! Remy is in the "launch" position and I'm already shopping for a few safety items - fire guard, gates etc etc!! Have to do some pool fencing too.
All ok with me so far - did my last prego test this afternoon (and will try not to buy more now!!) :doh: and my god it was DARK - it was almost BLACK!! I've never ever had one that dark - so off my mind wanders and conjours up "is it twins" - and guess I'd better ring my Ob now and get an appointment - I'll see him at 7 weeks, so another couple of weeks, just to make sure there's only one in there!! I swear if there's more than one, I'll be begging DH to get me a house girl lol !!
Keep you informed!!
Lee x

Kell - wow, being a doula would be such a rewarding job I think, you go for it girl. Glad to hear that your dh is getting better, it's so hard taking on so much by yourself, now if only my df would make an effort :rolleyes:. He just doesn't get the many hands makes light work phrase.
Lee - Whoa, can u imagine twins, NOW, yeeeeiiiikes, that would be mega scary.
Captain - I aint been getting much sleep either, something in the air I think. Bella has been having awful nights this past week, I'm scared I might snap soon cause she has been waking nearly every half hour at night. She was soooo good before this crap started, she was sleeping throught the night and it was bliss. I knew that it would be too good to be true.
AFM, not sure if Bella is sick, teething or reacting badly to her imms. This all started on the day of the imms, she has had the runs so badly and has dreadful wind. I almost thought there was a loaded gun beside me last night, it was bang bang bang all night. And sleep, ha, what sleep, she is so grizzly and just plain miserable.
Well, off to bed, JIC it's another shocker, which I am positive it will be.
Nightie night. xx

Hi girls,
Lee congrats, I think the colour just depends on the test itself you could take another and it might not be that dark, good luck with it all, we extended the house bought the bigger car, we have room for another one now??!! lol:lol: No just kidding if I were younger, did'nt have the bleeding problems, I would but NOOOOO!!!! I'ii just be clucky over others news...
Sue, most likely a bug, if Bella did'nt have a problem with the other imms she should'nt now, according to the doc who did our last imms. Hope shes better soon:pray:
eej,:clap:yeah Emily it's so exciting when they start doing these things, but slow down, before we know it these bubs will be up and walking.
missymoo, Ashton continues to astound me, he is so advanded for his age wonder if he is going to be super smart or an olympic athlete or the like???
Captain, good luck with those house reno:doh:and getting a bit more sleep, we are going good at night but day sleeps are pretty hit and miss.... I'm putting it down to teeth.
Niamh, sounds like you and me in the same boat as far as another baby goes;) It would be sooo nice...Eireann is very clever with her hand clapping, my DH discovered Poppy could sit up before I got a chance to tell him, you would think he taught her how to do it???:lol:
Kell, glad this are going better with DH... a doula sounds fantastic, I'm not sure i would have the stomach for it, but I would love to still love to be a support person one day, it would have to be with someone else JIC though.:lol:
Hi to everyone who I missed hope you are all well and bubs too.
Poppy is now sitting, sometimes still falls over though. She is rolling everwhere, but can't get to where she wants to yet, boy she gets angry??? She has 2 teeth, sleep has cahnged lots, a couple of quick naps through the day and then she wants a longer one around tea time which I have to wake her up from, for some solids and last bottle, then she sleeps through the night, waking about 6am these days. She loves her solids, as soon as she sees them she gets antsy and while you give them to he she spends the whole time saying mmmmm....mmmmm..very cute. She alternates between saying mum and bubs at the moment,dad is lucking out...yesterday it sounded like she said "hello" must be just the sounds they make on the way to talking.
Anyway must go, I seem to get on less and less these days.:wall:
-
Pam - yeah I think it's a bug too cause I have some of the same symptoms now too. She is heaps better this morning and slept so much better last night. Probably had something to do with the massive day we had yesterday and the party we went to last night LOL, she was exhausted. Arabella loves her food too and she now weighs 9.7kg and boy do my hips and back feel every bit of it.
Hey all, hope you and bubs are well. xx
-
Sue 9.7kg nice size!!! Em is 9.1kg dressed I hope you are feeling better soon. We have colds AGAIN!!!! Not happy about it at all. Poor bubba is so snotty and then her eyes get runny to, its awful.
Pam I know they are growing up too quick all woll be 8 months soon! Yay for Poopy sitting and rolling. It won;t tak her long to stop getting stuck, that was Em jsut a few weeks ago and now she has no dramas. 2 teeth! We have nothing here, just a lot of drool!
Kell- I think you would make an awesome doula! Def do it! So glad DH is doing better. Hey we might be in SA in a few weeks. DH is going away for 2 weeks so I might go and visit my fam. Would love to see you if we end up going. Will let you know.
Lee- get the bloods done!!!!
Captain Ashlyn's mouth must look so cute with 3 teeth as I jsut said no sign of them here.
Mel- Clever ashton!!! He is a super bub...!
Donna- hope Molly is letting you get some more sleep lately?
Lauren- glad you got the nappy. Those pics of Liberty on FB are so cute!
And hello to those I missed!!
AFM nothing much really plodding along. ho hum
-
Eej, yep her mouth looks cute, but it's not so cute when she starts chewing on my shoulder. Tooth number 4 is on its way now. Hope you get over the cold quickly.
Sue, 9.7kg is a good size, I'm not surprised your back is feeling it. Ashlyn is now 8.6kg. She's slowed down so much in the weight gain, amazing considering how much she eats.
Pam, that's so cute that Poppy says mmmm when she's eating. I've been blaming the sleep problems on teeth too. I really hope that when the teeth are through she'll start sleeping soon.
Kell, what a great idea to become a doula. It would be such an amazing thing to do. Glad that your DH is doing better.
Hello to everyone I've missed. Hope it's all going well. Ashlyn has her 4th tooth coming down. It's like one breaks through and the next one starts moving. Other than that not much else has changed. I'm off to finish watching Madagascar 2. :D

Hi Ladies,
Just popping on quickly while doing some research....I have mastitis......:(. VERY painful and I want to chop it off! *sigh* Had the locum out tonight because I was crying so much. X fingers the AB's help. Friend also suggested some Blackmores stuff from my homeopath so might give her a call tomorrow.
Eej ~ Would absolutely LOVE to see you if you come to Adelaide! I think it would be so special to meet you and Emily!
Lee ~ You just keep on cooking that bubby girl! And buy as many tests as you want! LOL
Hi to everyone!
Love & Hugs
-
Congratulations, Lee! Wishing you a super sticky, super healthy pregnancy! Can't wait for you to find out whether you've got twins baking! Woohoo!!! How exciting!! :leap:
Sue, hope Bella doesn't have an infection or bug. It's awful seeing them sick, isn't it. Hope we're all getting good sleeps soon too!
Erin, rotten colds!! If only we could just stay home and not go out into germy shopping centres and the like!
Pam, how clever is little Poppy saying mum and bubs! Bet dad can't wait for his turn! Good weight too!!
Kell, becoming a doula sounds so rewarding! Glad your dh is starting to be more positive and with it. Hope the worries and stresses are fading now! OUCH at the mastitis!! Must have cross posted this morning! You poor thing!! :hug:
Yay, Mel and Niamh on your clever clapping bubbies! How cute!! :clap:
Lauren, I just love Brett's pictures of Liberty that you've posted on FB - she is a gorgeous little princess! I can't decide which is my favourite picture! Well done, Brett!
Hello everyone! Feels like weeks since I've posted. I've been having quick reads but not had the time to post as well. Also, we've been in Canberra for the week, spending some time with Matthew's dad. He was super busy but this week was apparently the best for a good while so we made the most of it. He cried when it was time for us to leave (I was pretty teary too). Not sure when we'll catch up again, could be a couple of months. :(
Matthew was also sick last week with really high temps. I was so worried I took him to the local hospital (community health centre) and the nurse took Matthew's temp when we arrived and it had risen to 40.54 degrees. Spent a few hours there waiting for the local doctor to finish his appointments at the medical practice. Turned out Matthew had a chest infection and the beginnings of an ear infection. So the regime since has been antibiotics every eight hours. Also gave Matthew a panadol suppository (not fun, poor boy screamed) because panadol liquid was being thrown up and then switched to nurofen liquid which seemed to go down a bit easier. Temps are now back to normal but has runny nose and is very snuffly.
He now has five teeth through (three on top and two on bottom) and a sixth is on its way, judging by the drool and gum rubbing. Not crawling yet but sits up well and has a good rolling action. I got down on the floor and rolled with him this morning and he thought it was hilarious!
Got to go, Matthew is awake again! Love to you all.

Hi girls,
Hope you have all enjoyed our Anzac weekend. My daughter was in Canberra at the Dawn Service (she's nearly 12) so it was a pretty special moment for her.
Not that I'm usually tuned into commercial tv, but did any of you catch that story on Channel 9 tonight on the latest outbreak of whooping cough - the story largely followed the death of a 4 week old baby girl. God it was so heartbreaking to see her parents talk of her, and her short life, with video images aswell. I'm not meaning to open up any controversial debates here re. to vaccinate or not - but I for one am so glad my Remy has had her 3 lots of whooping cough vaccinations now. I just felt so sad for those parents, I guess because I have lost a baby, this sort of thing always tears at my wounds... :(
Anyway - just checking in on you all and saying howdy!
Lee x

Hi guys,
Lee I did see and watch that show tonight. Very sad indeed, especially since the baby wasn't even old enough to be immunised yet. Not fair is it? :(
Seven is not vaccinated - yet. I want to wait until she is 2yrs old and has had a chance and natural immunity.
But, in saying that, after arguing with DH YET AGAIN about it, and him bringing it up in front of his parents so I looked like the evil one...I have decided that if I can vaccinate for Pertussis (Whooping Cough), seperately, I will.
Dont worry about bringing up controversial topics, we are all pretty good in here and respect everyones decisions! I'm a walking contradiction myself. DS is fully vax'd, and I am an RN and work with NeoNatal babes, and do immunisations on them! So I kind of shocked myself when I started thinking about not vaxxing.
Anyhoo - off the beaten track I go.....
Mastitis is clearing up slowly already thanx to the Dr. But BOY O BOY is it painful! Yeouch. Never had it before!
I am so proud of myself today, because I made a "Buddy Tag" for Seven, along with a Toy Rescuer that matched. Basically its a material dummy chain and matching toy chain! Going to make a few for friends as gifts as well!
Anyhoo, I really should be in bed but not tired!
Love and Hugs to all.
-
Kell, glad the abs are working. Mastitis is soo painful. Hope your all better soon.
Lee, yeah whooping cough is pretty horrible, it nearly got me once when I was a bub and I had it really bad again when I was 8. I still remember the time I was in the car with mum and I couldn't breathe. It was pretty scarey.
Kerry, it's good that you were able to spend time with Matthew's dad. Chest infection, poor little guy, hope he gets better quickly.
Ashlyn is having a hard time with her top front tooth. I'm guessing because it's bigger than some of the others? Oh well, Danielle is staying at my moms so I might actually be able to have a little nap today. Better go, Ashlyn is absolutely covered in strawberries and yogurt, I think she might need a bath. :lol:
