Babies born September 2006 #102

I'm here, but very busy. Heath has had gastro today, and you know what men are like when they're sick :rolleyes: Nina isn't herself either. Last night and tonight, at the same time (9pm) she would wake up screaming the house down, still half asleep. And both times it's taken a while to calm her down, and get her back to sleep. She's definitely tired, but she seems to be in pain or something? I've given her some panadol tonight. I don't really know what's wrong with her, but I thought that if she was in pain, at least the panadol would help :dunno:
We had a really rough weekend with Emily, but she has settled down now, and is sleeping well again.
Why do these things always happen at once!

Good luck this month shell :goodluck:

Goodluck Shell, I was vomiting at 8 dpo with twins, mmmmmmm. Goodluck .

Hope all the sick babies get better. And hubbies.

Ican't believe you are already 13 weeks Helen.

Shell good luck. We are def on opposite cycles.

Caddie - THe skirt was nice!

Jodi - It sounds like Nina might be a bit off colour.

J's sleeping is not as good as it could be atm. I can't complain though. He is only having a 1 hour day sleep, and last night he didn't go to sleep till about 9pm. But he was happy in his room though. This morning he woke at 6am, but again he stayed happily in his room till 7am. He seems to want a lullaby cd on at every sleep. If it is not on, he gets upset. Again, it is not really much of a bother, and if that means that he stays in his room happy, then I am happy to oblige.

He is also cutting 2 top eye teeth at the moment, so drooling like crazy. They are sharp little pointers aren't they??!!

We went to the specialist this morning, and J will be having his operation in the next few months or sp. He has to have a discharging sinus clipped in his neck. At the same time, they will fix up the umbilical granuloma.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Ive got my fingers crossed for you shell!!
Ok bbl ruby very sick,chesty with this horrid cough i had,was spewing last night and hot/cold and i think she has pain too.I cant leave her for long..

Caddie-Hope she gets better soon.

Caddie- speedy recovery vibes sent right over to your home! she doesn't sound well at all the poor thing.

Meg- Poor J, sure he will be fine tho, is he going to the childrens to have it done? At least they can do it all at once, egt him sorted. Yeah keep the CD on if thats what makes him happy.

HelenP- Don't say that! Lol, there is something in water in our area cause the primary school down the end of our street had 6 sets twins start prep this year and 5 sets last year! They were on news and all so something going on.

Jodi- Hope everything is settling down in your household.

How long till testing Shell?

Caddie - Hope everyone is getting better in your house.

Not much happened here today, I worked and DH looked after J.

I hope everyone is well. Where aer our regulars??

Belle, Kell, Nelle, Maz, Ness, Shar, Rach, Chrissy, Annie, Laurin, AnnaT???

It has been a while.

Meg just been having a hard time with ruby being sick.She wont leave me alone which is understandable but i only got over the sick myself and cant catch up on sleep.
I dont know where everyone is gone? Hopefully just busy and they will catch up soon. Its harder now everyone has diff threads they are intrested in.:)

sorry girls, I have been slack and lurking, DH got home last night, we went out to the airport to meet him, I got a bit emotional at seeing him see Rylee again and felt like I was going to cry but managed to control myself. So today Rylee was in child care so I did some housework and then we went out for lunch - nice.

Caddie - I hope Ruby is feeling better soon, it is so hard especially if you feel like you are still on the backfoot yourself from being sick. hugs.

Shell - how are you feeling.....:)

Meg - how is J's sleeping going, any better, is he getting to bed any earlier, it is hard when they go to bed late as you feel like you don't have a couple of hours of me time at night.

Jodi - how are Heath and Nina going, are they still feeling yuk or recovering. Hows that gorgeous little Emily?

Okay, i am going to go, DH is bringing Fish & Chips home so my mouth is watering.

Hi to everyone, hope all is okay.
laurin x

Laurin- If you're free Wed morn check out thread in Victoria members, there meet up in Aspendale, I'm gonna go and In know you're down that way so come along. You might be busy with Dh tho, enjoy time together. Its great you got a day today just the 2 of you.

Caddie- Is she improving at all or still really sick, I hope the poor thing settles soon and you both catch up on lost sleep and rest.

Meg- Af is due Wed so if not arrived then I'll test, fingers crossed.

We had busy day, took Ash to story time at library this morn then gymbaroo this arvo so she was so tired and went down without a peep tonight.

Sorry guys

have just been busy. ive had both the littlies sick with colds and im starting to feel like shiat myself.

Shell - I so hope that you get a BFP babe...how exciting
PMSL on the twin vibes...

**** - Helen your already 14 week...were the hell is the time going???

Caddie - I hope you get some rest matie

Meg - how is J man going?

ahh better go have eyes watching what im doing

No she is still pretty sick,not eating and drinking a little.Her throat sounds so hoarse and she sounds like a freight train.She had me up a few times,moaning/groaning and very hot.I only had painstop left so gave it too her last night and still didnt make her sleep for the night.I remember i had the worse body aches and worse flu ever so i can sympathise. We are going on a 4 day holiday at the end of the month so im hoping everyone is all better by then. Just makes it hard because my kids are clingons and when there sick i cant do anything and if i get up from the couch they will cry after me:(
Hopefully it will be finished soon.

Oh your poor little girl Caddie! I am hoping everyone gets better soon.

J didn't have a day sleep today, so he was in bed by 7 tonight (ususally he goes to bed at 8.) He was agood boy though most of the day. He had a rest in his cot for 2 hours! He was so happy just talking to his teddy. He has a Panda named suzie that he LOVES. She has gone all the way to London and back, so she is a well travelled Panda Bear.

laurin - He is still waking a little some nights, but where his eye teeth are cutting is so red and sore looking, so I understand why he is feeling a little upset.

Shell - Have you been watching John and Kate??

Caddie - how is it going in your house?
Meg - Rylee's eye teeth are coming through - slowly - so she is unsettled too - can't wait till they are through they she has just got the 2 yr molars.
Shell - i did see the catch up in Aspendale - I can't do next Wed as DH is using the car to go up to the city all day - let me know if you see when the next one is as I really want to go to one.

Not much this end, I am feeling a bit crappy, head cold, we had friends round for lunch yesterday which was nice and hopefully chill out today though DH has loads of chores around the house to do.

Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday.
Laurin x

To be honest a nightmare laurin,i got to go to bed at 3am and then ruby tossed and turned, moaned and groaned and then wanted back in her bed at 5am.Ive been sleeping in the lounge because she has been spewing all this goo i need room to move and get the towels ready. Pain relief wont even get her to sleep. I thought she semed better during the day yesterday? Well with spewing the goo at least its off her chest.
Ive also bought the giraffes up in my store if anyone wants a squiz,off to lie down

Caddie- im sorry you are having such a rough time.

Man i really need to scream, the girls are feral today. They are bored which means they are fighting and whinging.
Mj wont let me put her down, as i type she is screaming her head off but i just had to put her down before i threw her :(

Its days like today i want to strangle exDH. He gets it so easy while these 3 are drving me nuts. I cant go anywhere either cause i dont have the petrol and its way to friggen cold and wet to walk anywhere.
I cant wait til my mum and dad get back, still 3 weeks away


Well i have stuff to do, i would like to be able to get dressed and have a shower sometime today. Plus i have to get stuff organised for Teleah4th bday on wed.



Please pass me on some of your patience!!!

Caddie & Beatrix - sending lots of hugs (& patience) your way, really hope things improve soon for both of you. Beatrix, I can imagine you are hanging out for your parents to get back. :hug:

Caddie - Can DH take over some of the "looking after" so that you can have a rest?

Bea - Hang in there!

Hi Everyone,

I have been lurking a little but just been really busy. I hope that everyone that is sick recovers quickly and that pregnancies and ttc are all going along nicely!

I have had a huge month. I relapsed in my anxiety and the doc put me on effexor - which I really didnt want to do but I guess it is better than panic attacks 2-3 times a day. Tiana began daycare one day a week and I started back at a casual job. It really is great! I miss Tiana heaps but the time apart also does us good too. My big cat also was hit by a car and died so I had a really bad couple of weeks with that too.

Tiana is getting so big!! I just feel like I am going to go to bed one night and she will be all grown up the next morning... She has all of her teeth except her 2 year old molars, she can run and jump and climb and dance, she talks well enough that she is pretty much always understandable. Her latest trick is covering her eyes with her hands and pretending to cry - then when you ask her what is wrong she just looks at you and giggles. Very cute.

Okay, well I am making Pea and Ham soup for dinner tom night so best get back to it. Hope everyone is staying warm in this cold weather.

Marni

Bea- :hug: I really wish I were there to help you out. Is there any other family or close friends that could just give you a 2 hour break or something? Maybe talk to your MCHN and see if there are any services she can set you up with. My sister gets someone come see her every week just to have a chat and help out with her son.

Marni- Sorry to hear bout your poor cat. How awful. With the meds do you feel alot better now that you're on them? Your right much better to be on them than suffer panic attacks. Besides all that drama its great Tiana is doing so well.

Caddie- :hug: your way too. I really feel for you. Will she go to your Dh or does she just want mummy? Getting any better?

Laurin- Thats disappointing, would've been great to have met you! The girl said she'll try hold one each fortnight.

Maz- Good to see you! Hope you're all feeling better. I doubt with 4 kids you have much time to even scratch yourself!

Hey shell- guess what you will be helping me, isnt the wedding in adelaide soon!!!

Yep! Think its only 4 weeks away, or could even be 3! Can't think straight at moment!

yay!

will pm you my mobile no. hun!!!

Shell, you are acting pregnant mate, no brain. Don't want to get your hopes up or anything - but sheesh, if you're not pregnant, then heaven help you when you DO have pregnant brain! :o

Nothing much to report here, boring as usual. We're looking at buying land about 40min further out of the city atm, so that's kinda fun (and busy, Rans working more if we ever want to be able to afford to build anything ON the land :P).

Hope everyone's well. Think everyone's pretty much said what I've wanted to say re: Marni and Ness and Caddie, I'll just add my :hug:.

People still lurking? Anna, Annat, Chrissy, Ambz...and all you others too (sorry, I'm very tired, I do care about everyone!). How is everyone? Is all our time taken up by cleaning up after our toddlers and keeping them out of trouble? Mine is!

Im around, just busy coughing and looking at all the stuff I have to pack and clean by next thursday :shuffle:

Bea - is your ExDH seeing the kids at all? I think you should make HIM come and give you a break. He did help create them so fairs fair. Hugs for you, I hope you get a rest or something soon and dont have to wait til your parents get back.

Umm he saw them for about 2hrs on friday and then the last time he saw them before that was the weekend.

He works really crap hrs like 9-6 so by the time he gets home its 7 cause he has to ride to a from work (still no license) and my girls go to bed at 7pm

He gets two days off a week but then they are normally seperated so he may have thursday of but on wed wont get home from work til 7 and the girls are in bed by then. And his sister (where he is living) wont let the girls stay there over night on a weeknight.

so yeah he is coming on wed to see teleah and possibly have her overnight cause its her birthday.

Its all to hard atm with him having no licence but when he gets it back it will be better cause he will be able o take them mor often and be able to take her to kindy if she has that the next morning and he needs to get a place of his own.

Beatrix- When does he get his licence back? Yeah it'll be much easier for the both of you when he does. How are the girls handling him not being there?

AnnaT- God I don't envy you at all trying to pack and move miles away! I so hate packing, good way tho to clear all the crap out!

Nelle- God you already out in the sticks will be even more so! Where bouts you looking at? Be nice tho out in the fresh air and be plenty space for those boys of yours to run round and burn of energy. hey you can always live in tent if can't build!

Well guess what girls. Its a :bfp: for me! Can't believe. I still feel doubtful. Lucky I bought box 3 so I can retest couple time just to be sure! I'm amazed worked first go, Ash took 16 cycles!

It is called the outer suburbs, city girl. :P Trust me, country people call where I live 'city'. We're thinking Pakenham, cos there is just no way we can afford to buy here, a block of land on its own can be approaching 250k and we're on a single income! Gotta be realistic. Plus we've got friends in similar situations up that way. :)

And WHOA!!! That's what I get for replying as I type!! CONGRATULATIONS mate! :D Brilliant!

Wow that move is approaching fast Annat!

Hey, Rikki you lurking? Was thinking of you this morning (nothing bad, just wondering how you are!).

Thats fantastic shell!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

Um i think he gets it back end of august

Whoa you work fast Shell, congratulations!!!!

Thats good that he see's them Bea. I cannot believe your SIL wont let him have the older two girls overnight, thats just silly.

Yeah move is fast approaching. And I am so not prepared.

So am I going to be left to TTC on my own in August? Who's going to join me? Someone pretty pleeeeeeeease?

Bea - I can't imagine how tough it is for you atm. Why can't the girls stay at his sis's of the weekends?

Nelle - Ha ha at where you are living being called the sticks. When I lived in Mitcham people were telling me that was the stix. I wonder what they would think of Gisborne :P

AnnaT - You must be mega busy atm.

How are the girls going Caddie? Any better.

I feel terrible atm. I got really angry at J, as he has been spitting food out of his mouth. Also he is refusing to spoon feed himself, and won't eat unless I do it. He has become so fussy with his eating. he basically doesn't want anything. I end up hiding food in pureed fruit or yoghurt.

I have been quietly lurking, we have all been sick for a couple of weeks

SHELL....HUGE CONGRATS GIRL, I HAVE BEEN CHECKING YOUR CHART DAILY, AND THOUGHT IT WAS LOOKING RATHER GOOD FOR A BFP :happyforyou:

Having a crappy time ATM, won't bore you all by going into it. But wanted to say a massive CONGRATULATIONS shell honey! That's fantatsic news.

:happyforyou: Sending lots and lots of :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: your way!

umm he can only have them on the weekends that he has the sat and the sunday off, which isnt very often.

I have been looking up rentals for him today and have printed a few so hopefully he will get a place of his own.

Bea- Hopefully if you get the ball rolling for him by doing that he'll find himself somewhere and set himself up quickly. I don't see why his sister is being like that. I'm sure the kids would love to see him too.

Jodi- :hug: whatever it is I hope you sort it out and remember you can always 'bore' us with the details.

Chrissy- I was just wondering how you were going. Seems this sickness thing is getting round everywhere.

Caddie- How is your sick ones going?

Meg- I posted before but lost it cause site playing up but was just saying try not to stress too much. Ash is fussy eater some days she barely eats anything. Best advice I can give is try not to stress. I read you can't force them only thing parent can do is offer nutricious foods its the toddlers job to eat it. Like today Ash has had few mouthfuls for lunch and dinner and thats it. As for spitting food that drives me nuts, I have taught Ash if she is going to spit it out to do so on her plate! What bugs me even more is something she loves on day she won't even try the next.

Nelle- Pakenham has heaps families down that way and Berwick too. Grandma lives down there, feels miles away to me!

AnnaT- I'm sure you'll get a preg buddy, you can't have Meg cause she is mine (hear that Meg) Maybe Rach? Wonder how she is going.

CONGRATULATIONS SHELL!!! THAT IS GREAT NEWS.......QUICK WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meg - Rylee is a hopeless eater at the moment, I am really trying to do yummy dinners for her but she just chucks tanties so what can you do, I don't want to turn it into a battle......

Sorry for not doing personals, a bit knackered, DH is sick now.......
Will try and BBL
Laurin

No good that your dh is sick Laurin!

Meg, could you just leave snacks lying around the house so J can help himself when he wants? At least then he's eating something.

Aww Jodi, what's up?

I'm alright, just finding it difficult at the moment with the 2 girls. We've had a few rough nights with Emily and are surviving on very minimal sleep. Nina up until yesterday was being a right little turd. Yesterday and today she's been a lot better, but still pushing me to my limits.

Sorry for lack of personals, Heath has just got Emily asleep, so I'm going in for a shower while Nina is preoccupied watching her dvd.

J ate a wonderful dinner tonight. I went ack to basics and gave him mashed veggies with some tuna. He still made me feed him, but better than the last few days.

Then I did fresh fruit platter for dessert. At first he started spitting the fruit, so I added a spoon on vanilla yoghurt so at least he (messily) fed himself some fruit. He has been using a fork a little, but mainly his hands for the fruit.

I dunno - I see kids his age, and they all seem so much more advanced than J........ Just my anxieties coming back in.

Jodes - Hope you manage to get some rest.

Nelle - I have tried the leaving snack thing to no avail.

Just a quick one!
CONGRATULATIONS SHELL!!! so happy for you!!
Must be the week for sleep depravation,ruby a little better today but had a meltdown last night from lack of sleep.Ive been managing about 4 hrs anight for the last 2 weeks.Las night was better but still up twice.Running on low..
BBL for personals when everyone here is happy.
