I reached my personal goal at WW!!!! I celebrated with a twix.(naughty me)
Millana spewing agian.Has been doing a spew or 2 a day.She gets all lethargic,red in the face,spews,sleeps then wakes up okay for a while until the process repeats.None of the rest are sick.It has been happening since last thurs.I have made dr appoint but cancel when she looks better then she gets sick again.Wierd....
Okay,dinner time.
Ooh Maz- Thats very exciting. Hopefully you won't be hugging the toilet bowl too much. You horn bag.
caddie- Could she have an intolerance to some sort of food or drink? Is there any common link to something she has ingested and then vomiting?
Oh and congrats on reaching your goal weight that is fantastic. Hope it was a king size Twix, yum i feel like choc now.
I think the anti's Ash are on are giving her a bit of grief, she wasn't a happy chappy today and she's done #2's 4 times, she only ever does one a day. I'll see how she goes tomor just don't want her to dehydrate if it is causing bit diarhea, she is having feeds alot more often though so she should be alright.
Kell- Skip the libido testing and have an early night. hope jesse settles with the teething pain.
Whooohooo Caddie on reaching your goal weight, that is great news. I agree with Kell maybe just keep your dr's appointment for Millana and just let the dr know exactly what is happening and hopefully they can help pinpoint what is wrong. All the best.
Rach-No problems at all hope you can get something that you like. I was just thinking with you and all of these baby things at least if you have to take clomid this time and end up with a multiple you wont have to buy too many things straight away.LOL
Kell-Poor Jess I hope that his teeth come through and settle soon. Get a good nights sleep.
Well Eithan is in bed, OMG this is so not like him I hope he stays asleep. I will stay up for possibly another hr then hit the sack. Hope all the bubs are being good for their parents.
PMSL Caddie - you go girl. Well done on th eweight loss matie. Super proud of you.
Now girls im not going to get to excited. I wont truely believe im there until I have the blood test and we all know how much of a screw up my doctor did last time when I was pg with VY, so I will be demanding that he do and pg test this time and that I wont be going back to the same woman who told me I was pg with Vy for the u/s. I think I am and I think this ones a sticker cause im SOOOO sick and my bb's ar eso sore. God and I wasnt going to say anything to anyone toher than a close few. $hit im bad at keeping my own secrets!
I just had a small packet of burger rings and they tasted like spew...yuck!
ok going to try and have an early night cause I get up atleast 3 -4 times to go twinkle.
MAUW to you all
xxmaz
And talking of burger rings its made me think of toobs and now I am craving for a pack!
My dentist called me today, i have to see a surgeon bout my wisdom teeth. She said they're impacted so i can't get them done in the chair have to go into hosp, have an anethetic. All that says to me is big bucks, not sure how much our private cover will cover. I also worrying bout anethetic and breastfeeding. I don't know how many hours I won't be there to feed for. May be a good time to force her to take a bottle but at the same time I don't want her to be getting so upset cause booby not there, i'd feel so guilty. I shouldn't stress til i go see surgeon.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers over the last week or so, my step dad’s funeral was a lovely tribute to a man who absolutely enjoyed life. I also have a new motto... “Cut The Crap”! Life is too short... my no 1 is my family and some of my pesky friends who go on and on with such bull**** can just get over themselves! ( no one here ) Lol.. Im back!!!!

: spelling
Shell - my SIL went in for surgery and expressed for her boy. She just couldnt BF him for 24 hours and everything was fine after that. You poor chicken, your so in the wars. Stupid teeth. grrrr
Littlep - glad funeral was good so to speak. PLease no kisses - no touchy. I might be sick on you. PMSL at rolly polly man.
Well Jed is entertining himself wathcing some stupid $hit on t.v and im on here researching newborn nappies. Yay my life is so much FUN!@!!!
24 hours, hmm, don't think Ash will go for that esp overnight with her comfort feeds, may have to put it off, been delaying it for a long time already.
LittleP- i like that motto. its true though. When you lose someone you care about it does put everything into perspective and makes you see what is important in life.
Ohh Maz! You'll be done with all those newborn nappies...and then hopefully Anna will be able to use them and then she can pass them on to me!! Or I'll pass them on to Anna...whoever goes first.
Anna babe, if you're lurking (that word always reminds me of Lurch from the Adams Family), a big Hello and I miss you!
You too Ambz! Where are you?
And while I'm at it, whatever happened to Pip? Has Merrie popped in recently? Aren't Pip and Merrie from Lord of the Rings? Is that why I think of them together?
That's tough with Teleah, Ness. I really wish I could help. What do you do when she cracks it? Are you a smacker? A time-outer? Are there professionals who help with this sort of thing? There should be I reckon. Boundaries and managing behaviour needs to start young doesn't it. Keep us posted on how you go.
Hope Ash and Millana get better guys.
Yay for your weight Caddie - there was nothing else you could do except celebrate with a Twix - they're sooo good aren't they.
Pity you didn't enjoy your Burger Rings Maz, always so disappointing isn't it. I didn't really enjoy chocolate when I was pregnant, and I still don't love it like I used to...probably a good thing, after having a baby
Shell, would Ash take a sippy cup? Riv looked a bit skeptical at first, but now he reaches for it and panics when we take it away from him. He has super diluted juice in it.
Better start thinking about sleep - I need my butt kicked, for keeping such bad sleep patterns! xo
Little P - it sounds like you have had a big days but glad that it was a lovely service.
Shellbell - hope Ash settles down for you and bummer on the wisdom teeth.
Nessa - hugs to you with Teleah, I am dreading rylee getting to the tantrum stage.
Well we are all packed up, house is clean and ready to go tomorrow, going out to dinner tonight so I will have a glass of wine and chill - well as much as you can with a little bub.
This is def my last post until we get to Johannesburg and get online there. So hugs to everyone and their bubs - be happy!!
maz....your such a naughty girl, good luck we certainly need a sticker in this thread....congrtulations, so i was trying to work out when you found out, i think you might heve keep it to yourself for 2 weeks???
Congratulations Maz, sending heaps of sticky vibes your way.
OMG Eithan didnt wake up until 5am. That is a mammoth effort for him, he is still up now, but I dont mind as he actually slept through. I dont know if I will get another night like last night, but I hope that I do so that my body can get used to it. I couldnt sleep as I was constantly waiting for him to wake.
Nessa-Huge hugs.
Maz-Nappies, they are doing my head in atm. You are about 12mths too early for me to help you out.
OMG Jesse just slept until 7am without waking up!!! Helen.. there must be something in the air!!! Hope it was the same for everyone else! And I hope it comes back every night!!
No libido running here.. stupid migrains!!
Laurin.. best of luck with the move!! Hope to hear from you soon!
Nesse.. todays a new day, hope its a good one for you.. am here if you need me
Thats ok.. sorry i couldnt wait my migrains are starting to take over my life i think.
LP.. good to see you back, sorry again about your step dad. Hope you were able to get a good nights sleep after the trip.
Ok better go rescue Jess as he's tangled in his play gym.
We're going to get him a jolly jumper! so excited! Are the ones on the frames just as good? We dont have any door ways near the lounge room and cant drill in as we're renting.
Our night was improved also, Ash woke 12:00, 3:30 and 6:00. So its a huge improvement from last few nights.
We have our appt this arvo at the sleep clinic. I don't know what it involves if we are gonna get tips or if its just an initial consultation or what.
Kell- Have you gone to your Dr bout those migraines? You should get them checked out. Are you on the pill or anything? Maybe get your blood pressure checked too make sure its not high.
Helen.p- Lol I'm the same if Ashleigh ever goes longer than 4 hours i think something must be wrong!
Laurin- Hi and enjoy the move talk to you when your set up in Johannesburg.
Nelle- We've been trying sippy cup, i think she thinks its a toy, she prolly will only take bout 20mls from it and thats only accidently when she occasionally takes a sip!
Nessa- How is your day going? Hope you are feeling alot better today. Don't really have advive to give on Teleah, maybe post in the general discussion see what others with toddlers do?
ETA: OMG Maz! Can't believe someone is saying that **** to you about Wilhelm! Thank god he doesn't look disabled, i think its hard enough for children with autism to live in a world they view differently without all that crap! I know from being around my sister and nephew how hard it can get sometimes.
