yay how exciting!! I am so clucky right now...
Hello Girls
I thought I lost my post from the other day:D
indie24 ohhh how exciting for you, we are finished now although in saying that, my AF is normally 29 days and Im 3 days late today,I dont feel like they are coming and we have been careful except I have this niggle in my mind about my birthday we went away for the weekend about 2 weeks ago now. so dont know have a feeling its more to do with Breastfeeding and not any thing else for being late.
missymoo84 yay on the walking, they are so cute Eireann does the finger pointing as well .
cheekyfrog you should be so proud of your self doing it all by your self :D I hope you have a great time in Brisbane.
I normally only ever stick to here normally, but I am part of a protest group so we are trying to drum up support and I posted there, they are very unfriendly towards newcomers.
joh117 whoo hoo, wel done, thats great so much easier when you get a good few hours sleep at night, you can cope with any thing they throw at you then.
indie24 so sorry to hear your sad news, words fail me, but Ill be thinking of you and wish you well. Eireann is dong that with some people as well, my sister ca to stay last weekend and every time she went to take Eireann she would scream for me it was so strange and my sister is so good with her. I think she has copped ohooh mammy is going off some were now LOL
Pam Hello hun :D
Nicamber Hello to you too,your dead right having little breaks, enjoy Newzealand, I love it when we were there and we were only there two days when Eireann was very new, it reminded me of Ireland as it was still cold and crisp some were ild like to see more of one day.
well me, im recovering after burning my self yesterday splashed hot oil all over my neck and face, it was so sore I have blisters all over, my face is not as bad this morning as I thought so I'm relieved about that. just have to look after my skin now and make sure it heals quick and with no scars.
Eireann is flying around crawling and has started to try the stairs, so stairs gate is gotten. she copies sounds its so funny a phone a door bell and she tries to copy the sound. she is all ways baby babbling away, we wont be able to keep her quite in another while lol
oh Im down nearly 1 stone now, its a loss every week so im happy ill get there, I dont care how long it takes me LOL
hope every one else is well :dance:
Hi girls - sorry I've not read back over the posts - been sick with the flu (not swine I don't think!!) - but feel like crap all the same.
Ezymay - I will send Emily's pressie in the next couple of weeks before I head to France on 4 August - as I'll be gone for 6 weeks - so, happy for you to send Remy's after we get back on 15 September (which reminds me I must get the mail put on hold!!). Can you pm me your address again- thanks!! Have you anything particular on Emily's "wish list"?
Hard to know what to get all the bubs!! I got Remy a little sit on/pull along bike thing - but I'm sure the box will be far more interesting lol!!
I'll pop back in when I'm better!
Lee xo
Good morning ladies
I'm going to try to catch up with personals before Ashlyn wakes up. I'm really sorry if I miss anyone.
Lee, hope you feel better soon. I think I might get Ashlyn a baby swing to add onto our swing set. ATM she seems to be missing out because everything is for big kids. The pull on bike will be lots of fun.
Niamh, that burn sounds sore, ouch. Eireann sounds so cute copying sounds. Ashlyn just learns one sound at a time and then sits there all day making it over and over. Well done on the weight loss. I'm really back into trying again, but it's so hard to fit in exercise.
Donna, how exciting. I'm really clucky too. I'm sorry to hear about your mum. Wil be keeping you in my thoughts. For Ashlyn's first birthday we are going to have a sausage sizzle at the park. Probably just family and a couple of close friends.
Mel, wow Aston is walking. He just wants to keep you busy. So cute that points his finger at you, cheeky monkey, lol.
Kerry, hope you've been able to catch up on some rest with the school holidays. You're doing an amazing job. I've had to start giving Ashlyn formula while I'm at work because I just can't seem to express enough anymore. I also don't always get a chance to express at work so my supply is suffering. Yay for pressie buddies:D.
Jo, yay for getting more sleep, must feel fantastic!
Pam, I have time management problems too, lol. I am working on it though. Thanks for organising the pressie buddies. Ashlyn loves to bop to the music too. Poppy sounds like she knows how to work people already! So cute with her cuddling tactics, lol.
Sue, the holidays sound great. We were about to book a trip to NZ once, then I found out I was pg with Danielle and we had to stop. We'll get there one day!
As for us. Ashlyn has come up with a horrid nappy rash. Got rid of it once and now it's come back again so she's having a few tests done to try and work out what it is. She had never had a nappy rash and now she has one so bad, it looks sooo painful. I spent all day yesterday trying to get a wee sample. Stubborn girl just wouldn't wee without her nappy on. Dh thought the I look pretty funny walking around with a bare bottomed Ashlyn and a jar, lol. Hopefully the Dr can work it out soon.
Bye for now!
Hi Girls,
I thought I should have had my Af last thursday and no sign, so Im wondering now:doh:
so now Im thinking its Breast feeding thats caused them to be irrugular cause I havent been charting or keeping a note on how regular they are IYKWIM. Ild be happy if I was have no issues there even though it would be Number 5 scary lol but my poor DH would probably have a fit. then Im giving out to my self as Im probably not and dont really want to start thinking I am to only start a longing that wont ever happen as DH does not want any more. Do I sound confused LOL. I might test Thursday :rolleyes: I think....
my burns look awful I cant go out and every one stares I really hope they don't scare I got these burn plasters make such a difference as Eireann would rub off the blisters otherwise. so fingers crossed
Captain I know it is hard juggling a small baby and exercise I'm thinking ill get an cross trainer so at least I can do it at home when eireann has a nap. I love all the little noises and giggles they make now so cute. Eireann was screaming at me today when I didn't look at her quick enough. LOL
Lee have a great holiday, hope you feel better soon :D
how is every one else doing :)
Oh Niamh those burns sound awful, hope they heal well...interesting BFP or not!!!looking forward to hearing test results + or - I know how you feel!!! I think the age our bubs are makes you clucky or cluckier???? Well done on the wieght loss, I am down 8kgs nearly into single weight loss figures fitting into old clothes well just but still motivating.
Donna, again so sorry about your mum... Godd luck with BFP I am sure we will hear soon that it has happened, always happens quickly when you are'nt trying os hard:lol:
Captain, ouch so sore poor bubba, lol about no wee with nappy off, I am sure if it was another day and you did'nt want it to happen it would.
I have no idea what we are getting Poppy she really does'nt need anything, all the hand me downs from the others, I did see a little pram walker and it came with a little my first dolly, all pretty pinks etc, so that might be the one!!!
Missymoo slow with his toothiepegs but thats it, go Ashton, he sounds so gorgeous...:clap:
Kerry, you'll get organized, it must be soo hard going back to work and you don't have the support.. Enjoy catching up with family I wish I was up Brissie way I would love to meet you. Poo to DP he really is no fun....sorry you have to put up with it..:pray:
Lee swind flu, hope not... lots of people are talking about trying to get it for immunity in the future if it comes back more severve??? I think its crazy talk it sounds pretty bad to me, they say 1/3 of us will catch it by the end of next month:wall:I hope not!!!
joh, that sounds fantastic, we need it.. my great sleeping baby has started to wake up part way through the night we pop her in bed with us but she's not happy until she is on your arm pulled in really close, I think there is a few issues going on.. teeth being one but we also need an appoint with a pead she is constipated and has been on and off since BF stopped, but the last few weeks really bad so just waiting for the appointment.
ezymay, :lol: I had no idea that you were buddies with Lee before obviously meant to be again, this time buying for a girl instead of unisex though.
Anyway I'm off bubby is crying and nearly time to get DS from kindy. Bye for now!!!
4 teeth! Thanks GOODNESS...
bring on a good nights sleep please!
hey girls, we've been swiney here at my place ughhhh. And i'm asthmatic too so it hasn't been fun as the flu comes with a bad cough. Super contagious at the start too. Even Liberty got it and poor baby was coughing heaps through the night, wasn't eating a thing, breastfed the bare minimum when she was asleep, was falling asleep all the time (having 4+ hours a day!) but waking up crying hysterically at night and just sooking most of the day when she was awake, sneezing out green bubbles of snot gross... it was a big eye opener to me as previously I was worried I was feeding her too much but now she's starting to get better i'm letting her have as much as she wants because when she was sick she dropped enough weight that her nappies were falling off here literally (she just clammed her mouth shut every time we tried to give her food/bottle/boob) and so now I want her to have a bit of chubbyness on her as back up in case she gets this sick again. It was so hard seeing her so sick as she didn't smile, stopped babbling, didn't want to be put down, etc
it's so overwhelming seeing how many posts there have been since I came on last. I'll eventually read them all. It must be the time for clapping as Liberty has just started it now she's getting better. She also "twinkles" her hands when you sing twinkle little star. She's started cuddling her soft toys which is adorable :D Oh and she says "ta" now too to give you things.
Indie - what upsetting news about your mum :( I wish I could think of something to say to make you feel better...but all I can offer you is some virtual *hugs*
We're not in brissie anymore, of course when it was time to move we were all sick!!
I'd better go and wake up Liberty as we're having trouble getting her to bed at night with all this sleeping in the daytime!! She's had nearly 3 hours now. Hi to everyone and looking forward to reading all your posts later.
Lol how horrible :( Poor Liberty :( :hug: to you all. Yay for twinkling her fingers, that's sooo cute!! I can just imagine, and cuddling toys haha that's cute too! Ashtons also started saying Ta but it's when you give him something, not when he gives it to you. It's cute, sounds more like da then ta but I know what he means haha
Oh Lauren poor liberty and all of you! I hope her weight picks up soon. I am terrified of Emily getting sick!! Scary stuff.
Pam love the new Av!
Niamh how awful to have those burns! If they are getting itchy doesn't that mean they are healing??? I hope they don't scar to badly.
Captain LOL at chasing Ashlyn round trying collect her pee! I hope they find out what's causing it the rash.
Donna how exciting! Can't wait to see the announcement! I am super clucky at the moment but know its not the right time for us.
Kerry Matthew will be quite the jetsetter! You need to come to Sydney!!!
As for us we are not sleeping well at all!!!!!!!! Well Emily's not sleeping so I'm not sleeping! I'm not sure what's going on but I am going to ring the sleep school tomorrow. I think we need help.
Its prob not that bad to others but I find it really hard to cope. I feel sick and anxious every time she stirs. If she just needs a little resettling its not to bad but waking up and 3am and being wide awake and wanting to get up is not ok!!! I go back to work soon! I need sleep.
Other than that in this past month she seems to have really grown up with clapping, pointing, head shaking, blowing raspberries (video on facebook) and this very cute scrunchy face.
We are planning her first birthday and dedication. Its going to be fun...hopefully not stressful!
Hi girls, just wanted to quickly come in and let you all know I haven't skipped town, though I would like to right now.... Bella cut 2 top teeth and it was sheer friggin hell and I was tempted to list her on e-bay until she broke out in a rash and it looks as though she has german measles.. poor bubba has been screaming day in and day out. Took her to the hospital and they just put me at the end of the que even though bella hadn't had fluid for 2 days, had stopped weeing and had high fevers that I couldn't control.
Looks like she is on the mend now, might take her to the my gp just to check her over..
I wil attempt personals one day soon i promise, have to go and call the plumber, have water spewing out of the kitchen and also need to call energex cause something has blown up in the fuse box and I have buzzzing walls :rolleyes:.. take care xx
Hi girls..
SSSShhhhhh!!!!!!
:tmi::confetti::crying:lah lah lah lah:hide::jawdrop::heartbeat:
Very mixed emotions when I got a:bfp:this morning...
DH was suppose to get snipped onthe 3 July but forgot to go? and now here I find myself...just a waiting game my body is going to do its usual bleeding thing, but the others are here and maybe this one is supposed to be??? I have no idea about dates, just felt like AF should be here and tested not really expecting to see 2 lines... needless to say I am like a bear with a sorehead...:doh:
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!PAM!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!! But i can understand your apprehension given everything you've been through. WOW! What a shock for you. Big hugs.
Hi girls!
Something told me to pop in and say hello today - and then I saw Pam's news!!! FANTASTIC !!! What a huge surprise Pam - congratulations - and you are right, if this one is meant to be it will be!! I really hope you don't get any bleeding this time around, but you know if you do, then that's just normal for your body - one day at a time! Wow, I wonder how far along you are? I'm so glad you will be joining me in the crazy house with another gorgeous bubba!
Sorry girls I have not read back over everybody's news - I hope you are all doing okay!
Ezymay - I went shopping today and got Emily something - but when I got it home I realise how gigantic it is (to post!!) so am having a re-think, and might keep it for Remy!! and get Emily something more postable!!! But at least I'm getting organised!!!
We head off to France in 1.5 weeks - so much to do - will be so glad to be out of the Tassie winter and the chances of catching swine or any other flu are greatly reduced in the heat of the european summer.
I'll be checking in more to see how you are going Pam!
Lee xo
Holy moly Pam, what wonderful news. Lets hope that this pg will be a bit less exciting than the last hey.. congrats hun xx
Lee - bon voyage, wishing you a lovely holiday.. DF is planning a trip to france in 4 years time for the 100th tour de france, he is a cycling nut.
We are well again and getting together some warm clothes for our trip, doesn't get too cold here so need to buy some extra layers. Other than that, nothing too exciting.
Pam I just got home and checked in. What exciting news. Congrats :)
Woohoo, Pam! Wow! How very exciting! :leap: May you be blessed with a trouble free pg this time around. Congratulations! :hooray:
Lauren, how awful! I hope Liberty catches up with her weight quickly. Dreadful how quickly it's spreading. Poor little Liberty! :cry:
Suzie, glad that you're all better again. Was it measles? That's so wrong that you were made to wait with Bella. I thought babies under 12 months presenting with those sorts of symptoms would be seen pretty quickly... Anyway, glad all's well again. Happy packing!
Mel, yay for Ashton cutting more teeth. And for more wet nappies. I've been noticing that since I've been on holidays, Matthew's wet nappy count is back up too with all the extra breast feeding. Back to work on Monday though :(
Donna, good luck with the "not not trying" :crossfingers:
Niamh, congrats again on your weight loss, wow! Love that Eireann is a happy babbler! I'm enjoying Matthew's attempts at conversation and singing!
Tenille, thanks for saying that. I've been feeling like I'm not doing a very good job at anything lately. Would have liked to have had more of a chance to sleep while I was in Brisbane, but the willing helpers to watch Matthew didn't seem to materialise as often as was promised, lol. However, did get to eat a couple of meals in peace and was able to enjoy a shower again. And got to go to the hair salon for a couple of hours! :dance:
Lee, bon voyage for August 4. Hope you have an easy flight and enjoy your time away. Mmm Warm European summer sounds goooood. :D
Erin, would love to get to Sydney to see you and Emily IRL :D Hope Emily sleeps through for you tonight. Sleep school sounds very attractive!
Brisbane was good but even though we were there for five days, we still didn't see all my family and I wasn't able to catch up with Jo or any of my old friends. Just need longer holidays! Was nice to be somewhere 10 degrees warmer though. Been feeling terribly cold since we got back. And Matthew's got a horrible cough and cold. Back to work Monday, sigh.
Hello lovely ladies,
Pam whoo hoo I'm delighted for you and hope all goes well and you have a very happy healthy pregnancy:dance:my Af still hasn't come so makes it 3 weeks late by my old cycle but as with I'm feeling a OK no sickness I know I'm ok :D
Lauren how are you all feeling now you poor things, swine flu is not so bad here so far its spreading more and more but I am just really worried about the children. esp Eireann.
Kerry thanks I never got a chance to go to weight watchers the last two weeks but Im back this Thursday so hopefully down even more Ill get there. Hope Mathew feels better soon Eireann has a cough as well and just when I'm falling asleep she has a coughing fit and wakes up:rolleyes: I'm still waiting on my rest as my boys are on summer holidays now.
Lee have a great time in France I love Paris so beautiful, reminds me I must go again. :) some day.
Nicamber, oh not talk about every thing happening at once on you, I hope Bella is all better now, I think Eireann is going to cut another tooth on the bottom soon.
well not much going on with me we rescued a little black Kitten, Ild say she is only about 7 weeks old poor thing so we decided to keep her as DS1 is a star and feeds her and brings her for walks in the garden he is great. My poor DH was over ruled on the vote LOL. Eireann is standing up on her own and stepping around the furniture and falling lots I don't put socks on as she gets better grip and the fact she hates them and pulls them off.
hope every one elsae is doing great xxxxx
Hi Girls!!!
We have TEETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!! The bottom left is through and bottom right and 2 front top ones are jsut about through so she has just about gotten all four at once!!! SHe has been pretty good about it though, slept through the past 2 nights! I just wish I could get to sleep before midnight. I'm starting to get anxious about going back to work. Back on Monday!!
Pam how are you going? Don't forget about us if you join a belly buddies group.
I hope everyone else is well.
Hi girls, thanks for the congrats, we are getting excited about it all now... well except for my parents but won't be telling them for a long time, well after the 12 week scan and we now all is good.
How could I forget about you girls, you are my friends...and I have to keep sharing Poppy's news she is still my baby.
I have joined a due date group and there is a LOT of girls in it maybe 30 I just can't keep up with personals..... and they are lots younger and size 8 lol !!!!so am stuggling with relating. So if you don't mind me sharing my news with you guys I may just hang around in here mainly. I have another BT test today so am hoping my levels are rising nicely, I am definately pregnant I cried at playgoup yesterday:redface: for no real reason.. I have an OB booked the same guy that Nae uses, so I know hes good. US booked for 16th August, oooHHH so far away.. to confirm dates and hopely see a HB.

Hi Girls !
Ezymay - congrats on Emily having teeth - she's ready for a T-bone now!! Did Remy's gift arrive? Hope so!
Pam - glad to hear things are progressing well for you - and you are all getting excited - you really cannot beat the joy a brand new baby brings :D I bet you're hanging for 16 August!!!
I'm doing great - just had my big scan this morning and everything looks healthy and normal - so VERY relieved! Was trying to check out between the legs, but my Ob's not letting me cave now - oh well!!! We are off to France on Tuesday, so just wanted to drop by and say hi and bye to you all - I think I can get Net access over there, but it won't be very regular - so will try and drop by and tell how awful a time I'm having ;)
Hope everybody is doing great and HAPPY BIRTHDAYS to the earlier bubs in our group!! 1 is such an ADORABLE age!!!
Lee xo
lol Lee, have a great time...say Happy birthday to Remy from us when your away.. fantastic news on your scan, I can't wait to find out babies sex!!! Yes August 16th seems like an eternity, but things are going well, good HCG doubling, no bleeding ;)so I am very happy...
:leap::leap::leap:as she dances off to find somewhere else to tell her news!!!!
Pam that is great news!!!
Lee have an awesome trip!! That's great about the scan! Emily got her birthday gift thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will have to send yours off now when you get back. I had plans to do it earlier but ending up with 3 extra kids this week made it hard. (that's a whole other thread if you want to read about it)
Little miss isn't sleeping well again and I'm stressed! How will I cope at work? I don't want to go back I'll miss her too much too. :(
Lee wow France, I am soooo jealous! I am so over the Tassie cold :( We've been exposed to swine flu on Thursday but so glad that we are all healthy! It was very close to home. Have a great trip!! Can't wait to hear all about it.
Pam BIG congrats! How exciting!!!!! Bring on the 16th!!
Ezy hope you start getting some sleep soon. And YAY for teeth!!! :dance:
Here... well it's been a long and stressful week...
I had to take the morning after pill :redface: last week and the DUMB doctor didn't tell me there were SAFE ones to take while breastfeeding so I had to give it up for 3 days :( So from Thursday till Sunday Ash had no booby and when we started again on Sunday he hasn't been happy, seeming overly hungry and refusing to feed. He will turn his head and scream and I gave in a few times and gave him a bottle.
The good thing about it was that Ashtons dad came on Saturday morning and took him over night. I just thought since he was on the bottle it would be a good oportunity for them to have some time. It was the first time he's seen him since April. And it went great :) They enjoyed eachothers time and he was apparently an angel. And what did I do... well I went away! And I had the BEST time. I felt like a new mummy!!
We went and got a room at Bridport, walked on the beach and took photos (there are pics on my FB), had the BEST dinner in peace :lol: then went to the pub and had a few drinks, played some pool and listened to music. It was bliss. The best bit? I got to sleep in till 8 and LAY IN BED till 10!!
Who is we? Well it's Jamie. A lovely, great guy that I've been friends with for 7 years and it's gone to a whole other level ;)
Today I have gone back to no bottles and just pushing through it all... and after a morning of crying, and lunch time was horrible, he is finally drinking from me again and he seems happier!! So we might not have to give up feeding yet!!! :dance:
Ash has also started sleeping through. Well it's been 3 nights so we will see how long that lasts. The first 2 he went down at 8 and got up at 12.30 for boobie but then slept till 7.30 but last night he went down at 6pm and didn't wake till 7am! I had to go check him to make sure he was still breathing!!
That's about all here. Hope everyone is well!!
oh wow congrats!! i am so jealous of all you pregnant girls :) i'd love to be pregnant again but dh has said no more until he passes his probation at his work which isn't until january. my sil has just told me she's pregnant, my bestie is pregnant and i'm getting my period again atm. sigh never mind. at least i have one bubba!! i'm sure there's plenty of girls in the ttc thread who would love to have just the one.
sorry we've been mia, liberty has been sick 3 out of the last 4 weeks and between facebook, ebay, all the other ways i waste time and caring for a sick baby i don't have much time to spare :)
she had her first ambulance ride on monday last week. she had a bad attack of croup and was vomiting heaps and wouldn't stop vomiting making funny breathing sounds and coughing and choking and when we tried to put her in the car seat to take her to hossy she just kept on spewing up and choking on her vomit and we decided just to call an ambo. i didn't know what croup was then all i knew was that she was breathing strangely. she was given steroid medication and got over the croup really quickly but she is still on antibiotics as she's still got lots of flem.
no sleeping through here haha. faaaaar from it!!! heaps of teeth coming through atm, about 6 new ones just broken through the gum. she's not walking despite her earliness to start standing up and walking along furniture. she's a very fast crawler and oh yeah that reminds me, i turned my back for two seconds and i was only a step away from her when she fell down the stairs two weeks ago too which was another hospital visit because she landed on the back of her neck/head and fell about five steps as our stairs curve around and she fell off the end. they are carpeted luckily and even though after tears she seemed fine i wanted to get her checked out..... and she fell out of bed that same week too. we've just had a real crap time of things. i broke the golden rule of co-sleeping and let her sleep in my bed when i was over-tired and i didn't wake up when she wriggled out of my arms in her sleep and even though when she's awake she can get off the bed fine but turning around and lowering herself off because she was asleep she went head first off the bed and landed with a big thump as she was a dead weight. oh and i drove over a nail so fingers crossed my tyre doesn't deflate.
gees look at my post, you can tell it's period time!!!
missymoo sounds like you had a wonderful break , you deserve it. and fingers crossed things go well with your new friend ;)
erin - i hope things improve sleep-wise and that it's not too hard on you being back at work. i feel really sorry for you that must be so frustrating as you need your sleep now for work.
Hi girls... Well, sounds as though we all have our hands full with bub's getting into mischief. I have just ordered a playpen off the net and it should be delivered in the next day or two. Bella is just into everything and eats every little thing off the floor :sick:.
Still not really crawling, just comando. She's quick though, boy she is quick. She does rock on her knees but I think cause we have tiles she just slips, so think if we had carpet she''d be off.
Sleeping well, 6pm to 6am. We are still co and still loving it. Have cut the 3 day sleeps down to 2 now cause the extra on in the afternoon made for a much restless night.
We are off to NZ on Sunday. Trying to pack now so it's not a mad rush and I forget anything. Can't wait, in desperate need of a holiday.
Hope you are all well. xx
Oh Sue 6-6 and 3 day sleeps!! Only in my dreams!!!!!!!!!! We are lucky to get 9-10 hours over night but that is interupted and she has one sleep during the day. And today DH had to take her for a drive to get her to sleep. I HATE going to work!! I miss her so much and its messed with ehr routine big time. I guess I will get used to it soon enough. We had a lovely few days in the hunter valley tho. Em was good trapsing in and out of the car to different wineries. Charming ppl with her smile. She is very close to walking. She can stand and balance now but isn't confident enough to take any steps. Won't be long.
Lauren I hope Liberty is better now poor little pumpkin!
Kerry how do you cope with work?
Hi to everyone else.
Hi Ladies
Sorry been MIA for a while, Madeleine has been so sick for the last 2 months. We've been back to the doctors every week and they have put her on antibiotics, asthma medication and a few other things and nothing seems to work, spent our first night in emergency last week as she was bruning up coughing her lungs up, sleeping 20hours a day and not eating a bite... we are still no closer but are hoping this lot of antibiotics are going to work this time. We are due to go on holiay in 2 weeks so hope we don't have to cancel but wont be much fun if she is so sick. We think it's been the childcare that has made her so sick as she seems to be bad after we pick her up... I feel so guilty for going back to work, if only we could afford not too... I'm back 4 days now and struggling.
Congrats to those who are pregnant, I really want another but bub being sick, our jobs a little shakey in this climate it's all on hold for quite a while.
Lauren, what a fright hope liberty is getting better now
Sorry for lack of personals got to catch up
CJ - oh no, hope you don't have to cancel the holidays, sounds like you just might need them.
Ez - Yeah, I feel pretty lucky, I read so many mums trying to cope with the sleep deprivation and feel thankful. I would be stuffed if she didn't sleep cause i don't have anyone to hand her over to for a break.
:hello: to all. Not long til we are singing :happybirthday: to our not so little one's. I can't believe that time has just gone so quick. I was looking at Bella's 000000 outfit that she came home from hospital in the other day and felt really sad. I have also sold her baby rocker/swing on e-bay and almost cried when the lady picked it up..... no, I don't want anymore babies PML, just getting sentimental....
hi!!!US yesterday 1 baby measuring 6 weeks 4 days, so I must have had a very long cycle?? Cause it seemed I was weeks overdue, HB 126BPM.. I have been having some very minor bleeding but it is stressing me to the max!!!!I ripped DH head off last night...I should really apologise but.... I don't want to (redface)you know how men bring this on themselves... but I just did'nt stop when I got started!!! It was all about my tummy??? It seems to already have potted out compared to how it was looking a few weeks back and I had started to fit into my old clothes , no hope of that now.. and DH said, well it is'nt the baby its a speck!!!

Lauren, your time will come.. you have lots of years up your sleeve and when it is time you will really enjpy it.. the wait is worth it...I am excited but down about this one cause it was'nt planned and it is taking a bit to get me head around it, especially when Dh was booke dfor a vas, I wa getting used to that idea then find myself BFP, kind of turns your world upside down!!! Poor Liberty and you / DH very scary experences, DS spent 10 days in royal childrens on a breathing stuff caus ehis croup turned into RSV, I hope she's better soon...Hopefully this means she will get less bugs later on..
Sue I hear you on the feeling upset selling all the baby stuff, I just got through selling all my maternity clothes, and newborn clothes, doppler etc when I found I was BFP!!! doh always the way...
Have great holiday.
Candy Jay, sorry to hear all you sickness problems, a major worry... I am sure you are right about childcare, my eldest always was sick...I hope bubs is okay soon, the last thing you want is ongoing meds....
WWWWWHHHHHHHOOOOPPPPSSS look at the time!!!

Back...Ezymay, sounds like Em is really going ahead in leaps and bounds, osunds like you had a lovely trip, always nice to have a break we have'nt had one for awhile.
Missymoo good luck with your friend, hope things are going well, sounds like a really nice guy.
Poppy is getting close to crawling... up on her hands and knees moves her hands but does'nt know what to do with her legs?? Rolling everywhere then sits up and pushes herself a bit on her bum and pivots then rolls and gets up on hands and knees, pretty much can get where she wants to. Still only 2 teeth ,1 top tooth was partly through but has gone back? Other than that no other news...
Catch you all sometime soon, hi to everyone else hope all is well.
Hey everybody. Sorry I haven't been around much. Mum passed away nearly 2 weeks ago so I have been busy dealing with that.
I just had to come tell you that, after lamenting that Molly just didn't seem to move around, she started to crawl the day mum passed and within a few days of doing that she started pulling herself to standing but only on certain things.
I will try and catch up on this thread when I get some time.
Take care all
Oh Donna I'm so very sorry to hear about your mother. I kind of gathered from facebook but wasn't 100% sure. Big hugs to you. :(
Donna, I'm so sorry. That must be so tough. Big hugs for you and the Moo. :hug: :hug:
Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. Have been lurking though and trying to keep up with everyone. Pam, hope you're not stressing too much. How wonderful to see that little twinkle of a heartbeat again. I still have my doppler, let me know if you'd like it and I'll bung it in the post to you. Don't worry about the weight, your body knows what it's doing and that's preparing a good home for the new bubba. :)
Erin, being back at work full time is really tough, I just never seem to catch up on anything. I'm fantasizing about taking tomorrow off, dropping Matthew to the sitters and coming home to have a good sleep. I won't do it though, because there's a group of kids at school that are counting on me turning up every day because I'm the facilitator for their team in a competition. I so need a good sleep though. I'm also missing being with Matthew. At times it feels like I've handed over that important job of bringing him up to someone else.
Suzie, hope you have a lovely time in NZ (Q. Where do cows go for their holidays? A. Moo Zealand...) Happy packing!
Candy Jay, sorry that Madeleine's been so sick, I hope the new lot of antibiotics does the trick. Matthew's on antibiotics too for a cough that's lingered now for more than four weeks. Thinking of getting a referral to see a paediatrician in case it's asthma.
Lauren, love the little green patterned skirt you made for Liberty, she looks so cute. Scary ambulance ride for her. I hope she's on the mend now.
Mel, woohoo on being happy with your new man :dance: And hurrah on being able to get Ashton resettled on the boobie. Stupid doctor!
Lee, lovely, lovely news about the scan. :D Hope you're really living it up and enjoying yourself in France. Make us all really jealous!!
Niamh, hahaha about Eireann and the sock pulling. Matthew's just the same. It's the hugest game for him. I've had to put slippers on over the top of his socks to keep them on him. Be all right, if it weren't winter!
I've organised an appointment for Matthew to have his first haircut on Saturday. Those of you on FB might have seen the pictures I've posted of his wild looks in the morning. Need to get the hair out of his eyes.
Must go, lots to do and I'm so very tired!
Donna - I am so very sorry to hear that your mum has passed away. :hug: to you and your family and just know that we are all here for you during this tough time xx
Kerry - LOL, MooZealand. DF keeps asking if I am going to pack my Jandals LOL, will need to bring out the german in me and wear socks with them though cause it's freezing over there :ROFL:
Pam - Oh just the bloody way, to sell all your baby stuff. The day my power swing went I thought I was pg. The one time we dtd and stoopid df has to be irresponsible with the protection IYKWIM... glad to hear that you saw the hb on the u/s, would be a big relief.
Pam I just wanted to say I still have some of Molly's stuff. Let me know if you want any
Just had to come in quickly and say Emily tokk steps today!!!! At first just a few between Heath and I with coaching and then she was off playing and just took them of her own accord!!!
That's great news Erin.... Wowzers, all these clever little babes walking before their first birthday's...
That is wonderful Erin. I know how excited I got when Molly crawled so I can imagine how exciting it is now Emily is WALKING!!
Woohoo, way to go, Emily! :dance: I'll tell Narelle, Ruby and Benjamin tomorrow - I'm sure they'll be excited too, Erin! :D
Pam, we got the birthday present :dance: ours is on its way to you so watch out for it! but we love it every one is admiring Eireann in her cute little shoe socks and the headband really makes her look like a girl not that she doesnt already LOL but with her lack of hair. thank you sooo much :dance:
try not to stree about the bleeding hun with those hormones and baby popping out already your going to be fine and dont forget it not that long a go you were preganant so its only natural you will show earlier your body remembers and is popping out. that happened me on my second DS.
Eireann is waking and its so cute as she is so small, she was not well this morning got sick all over me think it might be wind so far she is ok bit cross but is having her nap, so it time to catch up on house work.
sorry for lack of personals
