Babies Born September 2006 #106

Helen, you are going to have your beautiful bubs before me, I am so excited for you, woo hoo!!!!

Jodi - I am doing a Bachelor of Commerce, this is the last paper, YAY, if I wasn't preggers I would be drinking a bottle of very expensive champers after I have submited everything on Friday, anyone, it is all good timing before this bub comes along.

Meg, so glad you are hanging around, just getting your thoughts out in the open really gives you relief doesn't it and knowing other people are going through what you are going through to.

Caddie - Rylee is still a shocking sleeper, what can you do......

Chrissy, great news you are now in your new house, hope your Mum can give you a hand with all the unpacking :)

Maz - hugs to you, bet your looking forward to Saturday!

Okay, hi to all, beter get on with life.
Laurin x

woohoo helen!! Bring on the 20th November!! You must be so excited.

meg - so glad to hear you're hanging around with us a little longer. :D You sound so much more positive in your posts today than yesterday.
As for the wool underlay, have you got a wool setting on your washing machine? Or even a blanket setting? I have one on my washing machine, and I believe it's set to do a warm-hot wash. So yeah, you should be able to wash it.
Poor J, I hope he gets better soon.

Congrats Laurin on making it through. I started doing a Bach Commerce, but stopped halfway through as I just wasn't enjoying it. I did so much study through school with Accounting and business subjects by the time I got to uni I was sick of it, lol.
What date are you due?

shar - how is the painting and gardening coming along? Have you painted that fence yet? I bet you're enjoying your pool right now. If you have weather anything like us then you will be. That's the only thing I like about summer, being able to swim.

chrissy - great to hear your move went well, well apart from Caity. Hopefully she'll settle into her new home soon. It must be hard for her, first her dad leaves, then moving house. How is she going without Craig?

Anyone else in Melbourne coming on saturday???

---

maz - if I could get a cheap enough flight I'd there in an instant. I could have got a flight for $25 to Mel, but it's for the 20th Oct, so a few days too late :cry:

Me - well I've had an extremely busy day, I'm tired, and I can feel that my iron levels are low again cause I keeping almost fainting. So I'm off to have a lie down while Emily is. bbl.

In actual fact I was thinking of going to the baby expo on Sat. I thought ebveryone was meeting up on Sunday???

Nope, it's Saturday Meg, at 10am, to try and miss some of the crowd (I'm dubious about that :p). Would be great to see you there! Pop into the thread to keep updated! I think we're trying to wear something purple? Or printing an avatar out or...I can't remember.

Hey, Rans read today that interest rates could eventually get down to 0% or close! Wow.

Laurin - bring on Friday adn celebrate anyway..go and buy that bottle and date it just for you :) we stillhave a bottle dated with Nikolaus' birthday date on it thats un opened

helloev eryone sorry still have this shiatfull migraine - hope its gone before saturday

How many Melbournites are there in this group? I will be heading down to Melbourne beginning of next year sometime with my mum for a girlie weekend away, and I HAVE to meet each and every single Melbournitee here. okey dokey :D

0% hey!! That would bl00dy brilliant! and 0.5% off by Christmas would be ace!

maz - I'm on Iron Supplements to try and bring my iron levels up, so I stop feeling so faint, but it aint working :doh: Dr said my only other option is iron injections frequently at his surgery. I'll get another blood test in 2 months to see where my levels are at, and if there's little or no change, than I'll have to do that.

Meg- honey your welcome I understand what you are going through, here if you need me always hon. xxx

Hi everyone how are you all? I hope everyone is well.

Julia is going well but shes still sick with ear infection and cold, seems to be going between Jeffrey and Julia twice now in the last month not good heh. Thankfully Tara and I are ok and havent got it phew. Julia's on antibiotic but doing ok now much more energy, shes at my mums tonight and tomorrow which is nice for her cause she gets to go to the park and beach and I get a break too and get to catchp on some much needed sleep. Julia sits on the potty but wont do anything yet lol...so not going to well on the TT department but they are starting it next week at daycare so wont be long hopefully.

Hugs to everyone and hope you have a great meetup in Melb this weekend.

Liquid iron Jodi? I don't absorb tablets, but liquid can be okay.

Good to see you Belle.

liquid iron?? please explain :)

Yeah, like a liquid supplement. Most chemists have it in some form or other, ranging from nice tasting to having-to-be-taken-as-a-shot-with-a-chaser tasting. :p

Am I only Melbournite not going to the baby expo? It scares me I remember going there 2 years ago and leaving with a migraine, unable to move in there, pram traffic chaos! But have stuff on anyways but would've been nice to meet up with ppl.

Meg- You do sound alot better today and thats great to see (or read).

Belle- Bet Julias grandparents spoil her too, lol, hope that ear infection clears up, is she feeling ok with it?

Jodi- Yep I'll def be up with meeting you early next year, come on down! That sucks bout your iron, I have heard that the body hardly absorbs much of the tablet. Do you take like vit c with it? (I think it was vit c that helped).

Laurin- Congrats on finishing the course, what a relief too I bet. I remember just getting so sick of studying. You'll have to get some apple cidar and pretend its great champagne! Lol.

Helen- Oh wow, you think you'll last that long? Can't believe how close its coming!

Chrissy- God moving is nightmare, worse for you, so many more kids to move! Hope you sort it out soon, how the kids with the move?

Oh wow I'd be so excited with interest rates dropping that much! These decreases couldn't have come at a better time for us, with me finishing work in Jan we'll be saving good amount with these cuts. Glad we stuck to the variable!

shell - I'm currently taking Ferrograd C, which has Vitamin C in it.

I think vitamin B is good for taking with iron too? C'mon Shell, you're a nurse! Caddie?

Shell, I'm not taking Riv, just Si, and he'll be in a carrier - no way would I bother with a pram, I like to duck and weave. ;)

I am currently taking iron,b12(for growth of red blood cells),vit D,Calcium,folic acid.
The injections are for those that the tablets are not increasing the iron levels.Its usually in the bum and painful.
Jodi are you taking them everyday? Maybe you need a boost of injects. My levels were so low when first diagnosed with coeliacs the dr didnt know how i was walking.I did feel like i was dying!lol But it does need to be sorted because when you lack iron you feel so run down.
I wish i lived in melbourne sometimes....lol

caddie - yep, taking them everyday. My dr said the same thing, he was surprised I can even get around with how low my levels are ATM. That's the ones he was talking about, getting them in the bum. He said they're painful, and they could possibly stain the skin?? So he's hoping the tablets work. But I don't think they are.

I'm sick today. Got it last night, and a lot worse today. I think it's the vomiting bug Heath had the other day. I was able to get Nina into kindy today (thank goodness) and I'm off to the dr at 11 in the hope they can give me something. I'm just waiting for Emily to go back to sleep so I can rest before my dr app. Heath is panicking that I might be pg. With the way I'm feeling today, I do feel pg. :o

fak, but def ask your pharmacist about liquid iron Jodi, being liquid it's more easily absorbed.

Jodes- I hope the Dr managed to fix you up.

As far as taking a stroller to the baby expo. It doesn't really bother me. I took a stroller all over London and on the tube and managed alright.

I am not sure what time I will be getting there, so I prob won;t meet up with everyone, but I will keep an eye out for you all.

J was up a bit of last night, as he still feels sick. He has been complaining of a tummy ache. It was actually a little amusing last night though. I got up as he was upset and gave him some pain relief. Once his tummy felt better, I was sitting with him while he was lying in bed. He obviously didn't want me to leave, as with his limited vocab, he was trying to start a conversation with me! He was saying Cow says Moo, and talking about diggers.

Is it bad that I am having BBQ shapes for dinner :P

Meg - I just had raisin toast for my dinner and about to have some chocolate cake :)
