Big Happy Anniversary Kell and Grahame - hope you are having a great day!!!
Thanks guys. We've had a nice lazy one this arvy. Has been raining.. YAY.. so have just stayed in. Poor hubby aint getting any lovin tonight as AF is over hehe.. ahh well..
MIL asked us to go to their house for lunch.. i said NOOOOEFFINGWAY! I dont wanna be stressed on my anniversary! So instead now she'll be over tomorrow arvo.. lets hope Jesse's asleep!
That's great that you had a good day Kell!
River's sick and teething here, so he's off to the dr tonight - his cold has moved to his chest, which is a little concerning. He doesn't sound too great.
happy anniversary kell
and maz how did the party go?
Happy Anniversary Kell!
Nelle - How'd the doctors' go? Is Riv is ok? chesty colds are yukko... I still remember when he scared the bejeezus out of you when he was a newborn when he had a chesty cold.
Maz - Your house still in one piece after the party yesterday? Hope the weather held out so the kids could go outside.
Shell - I don't really have many people to ask for babysitting either, well not on any decent night (like Sat night) anyway! Makes it hard as it is all too easy to start feeling 'trapped' after a while.
Talking of feeling a bit trapped, I've been feeling that way as of late. Yesterday I decided I needed to do something about it and made Scotty watch Alexander for a bit so I could go for a blast on the bike. Ahhhhhh, feel so much better now the SAHM cobwebs have been blown out! Bugger is is raining or I would've gone again today.
That's awesome Anna, I bet a ride made all the difference!
Rans starts holidays tomorrow! Hurrah!! I think I ovulated today too, so I'd better not be on the computer too long. :p
As for the River boy, he's got a virus, which we can't do too much about, just got some Dimetapp for him and will Fess him up to try and help him decongest. Ohh Anna I still remember when Riv choked too, full on that was a shock.
Shell, would people from your Mother's group babysit? I reckon in a pinch, I could drop Riv at one of their houses. But I'm pretty lucky in that, apart from my family, I've got plenty of my church 'family' who'd look after River too. Plenty of late high school/uni/young adults I'd trust. Especially if I was close, and they could call their mums if they had questions anyway.
All the best with your MIL tomorrow Kell. Just deep breaths and think 'while this annoys me, is it really bad for the Jess man?' Rans says that to me all the time. MIL wants desperately for us to go to their church next weekend so she can show River off, and while it will annoy me for probably some irrational reason, it will just be a once off and we will cope. As long as he's not passed round. I know that your MIL doesn't do it once off Kell, but you know that once Jess is a toddler, he will just wriggle out of her grasp and be wanting to play with other things so hopefully it won't last. Has Grahame talked to her about it? I can't remember.
Man I'm exhausted. Best haul ourselves off to bed, hope everyone else is getting a good night's sleep!!! xo
I feel absolutely rotten. - Kell I think it was you that said you developed a sore throat and ears when bubba was unwell. How long did it last? I have the sorest throat and ears. THey feel like they are burning.I think I will call my mum and get her over for the day. She is heading over this way anyway as she has to pick my sis up for the airport later on ......
Lurking, inlaws are still here (but leave on thursday YAY). 12wks went by last thursday, 3 days off the 2nd trimester now! Have my NT scan on thursday.
Trip to Sydney was a bust, I just couldnt relax and according to Ryan pee'd them all off with my 'behaviour'. Atleast Jett is baptised now and it went smoothly with little crying or fussing. I am so over having them here though and am counting down the days til thursday. My sister comes down for a few days on Saturday so hopefully I will get enough of a break from J to get some decent sleep.
On the J front, he has been sick again with his ears but also with a vomitting/yukky poo bug which I think could be giardia as Sydney's water is contaminated. I tried hard to make sure he never came into contact with it but obviously that didnt work. Thankgod it only lasted for yesterday (oh yeah my car smells like puke :wall: ) but the poo's are still lurking. He wasnt drinking much the last 2 days but has now had 3 full bottles. So its been fun times for me. On a good note, he has learnt to wave hello and goodbye :clap: He does it all the time now when you head for the door or out of the room :cryinglaugh:
hi all
alexander has RSV bronchilitus was in hospy on sat night, but all ok.. maybe just a paranoid mother! anyway, he needs lots of cuddles and booby so will be back later
xoxo
Kell - glad you had a lovely anni with GRahem yesterday
Chrissy and anna - I have the biggest headache after the party and thank god it stopped raining and the kids were outside.
I cant believe my baby is now 7.
Better go and shower
Will BBL
:happybirthday::happybirthday:Nikolaus:happybirthday::happybirthday:
Annie- Oh no, hope little Alexander is on the improve. Booby will make him feel lots better, always does the trick!
Maz- Glad the party went well. Now I know what I have to look forward to in few years when Ash starts having parties.
AnnaT- Those inlaws seem to be staying forever! Sorry your trip wasn't too much fun. I still have to get Ash christened, I'm so slack.
Meg- Hope you start picking up soon. Be great if your mum could help you out for the day so you can rest.
Nelle- I reakon if I did need it they would look after Ash but I would feel bad asking cause they have there own bubs iykwim. Most of my friends from school live on other side of melb cause thats where I grew up so too hard to get them over.
Anna- I was starting to feel that trapped feeling but its been quite good Df on holidays as I've actually just left her with him and gone out for lunch with friends, things like that, makes me feel a whole lot better.
Kell- Glad you had a great anniversary. Sounds nice and cosy, I wouldn't be going out either with this crappy weather.
Well not much going on here, even though i haven't had a real AF yet I think I am O'ing. i'm actually in the mood for dtd! Will have to get the condoms out though no way am i ready for another just yet!
Thanks for the anniversary wishes.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKOLAUS!!!!!
Just a quick one for the moment.
Went to the doctors to get a Rubella booster.. he gave me the script so havent got it yet, but wants me on the pill or something before i get it as cant fall pregnant for 3 months afterwards. So he said i have to be on the pill for a month before he'll give me the shot. So now thats 4 months of no TTC... so pushes my October back to NOVEMBER!!! Oh im so grrrrrrr! He tried to tell me i should just get the injection of which i said a big fat NO to. I dont trust that stuff. A friend of mine had it and took her 4 years to fall pregnant. At least i can stop the pill when i want. But he has given me one that supposibly has less estrogin in it so hopefully i wont get migrains. Anyways.. im starving.. have a whingy child here as he didnt have a morning sleep, but thats my fault cos we were out.
Back later..
Are you not immune to Rubella Kell? I hadn't had my booster since...maybe primary school? But when I found out I was pregnant, I went to the dr, and she checked my blood and found I had quite high immunity to it.
Maybe get a blood test if you're not sure, you never know, you might have come into contact with it somehow and gained some immunity to it - then you don't have to worry but the injection.
But yeah, sucks if you have to get the injection hey. Hugs.
My shins hurt. Maybe I'm still growing. :p Having Rans home is turning out to be bad, he's noticing how I don't do housework...
Nelle.. Yeh when i had my blood tests when pregnant with Jesse it came back saying i was 20 (40 being immune, 10 being not).. so would require a booster. i might do that with the blood test. Thats actually a really good idea Nelle, thanks, im gonna do that.. get another blood test done in the mean time.. worth a try and hopefully i have come in contact somehow.. good thinking 99.
Haha re the housework!
Just a little somewhat of a brag... last night Xander only woke twice! The second time we bought him back to our bed and he slept in till 8.30am!!!
I feel so refreshed and alive today.
WELL DONE ALEXANDER !!! tonight you can wake once only!!! good boy for giving mummy & Daddy some much needed rest!
Aha! Sprung! Little Mr. Xander! Now we know you can sleep like a pro, there's no excuses! :p Congrats on a good night's sleep Anna, it feels good hey.
Though I had a headache last night, so that wasn't my best ever night. Never mind!
Yay Xander sleeping alot better, you better keep it up!
Kell, that sucks, at least its not too much of a delay with ttc.
Been to the toy sale at k-mart, bought Ash's birthday present, couldn't think of xmas yet (not as organised as you Kell).
Wooo :clap: goo Xander!!!
Shell.. Target's one is Thursday week too! There will be another big one before christmas so you have plenty of time ;)
Hi guys sorry I havent been on much, Eithan has been a bit sick lately and now he has bronchiolitis and the dr is pretty sure Bella is getting it too. So I have 2 sick clingy children. Eithan has pretty bad eczema so we cant use any soap products at all on him so I have bought some new stuff for him that left a bit of a dent in my wallet.
Annie-Sorry to hear that Alexander has asthma, pretty scary with him getting bronchiolitis. Hope that he gets better soon.
Maz-Happy birthday Nikolaus.
AnnaT-Happy Birthday.
Nelle-Hope River gets better soon. So your house must be tidy now, eh!
Gotta go my peace is over the little man is awake.
Love
Lol Helen, the loungeroom is! :p Hope your kids recover quickly.
Thanks Nelle, I hope so too, I am just so tired, I was up every 20-30mins with Eithan until about 3:30am and then up and down between 5 and 8am, he is now playing on the floor. I think I better go and get breakfasts done before he cracks it again. He wont booby feed well, he keeps biting me and yesterday he only drank about 300ml of formula so keeping a close eye on him.
Love
:clap: HAPPY 10 MONTHS to my baby boy JESSE!!!! :clap:
helen - we should have called each other last night / early this morning! Alexander and I were up all night, he was crying out and was only happy in my arms.. so tired this morning.. hope that Etihan and Bella get better soon
Happy 10 months Jesse~
HAPPY 10 MONTHS JESSE!!!!
Big hugs to Annie & HelenP - Hope the bubbas get better really soon.
Happy 10 months Jesse! Kell - Did you get your rubella jab today?
Laurin - Have you managed to get some sleep?
Belle - How are you doing hon? Tried to phone you this morning but you must be out and about.
AnnaT - Have you got your house back to yourselves yet?
Maz - Is the m/s still lurking around? I reckon you're having another girl (you have to, just so you can use the fab middle name you picked)
Rikki, Jodi, Ambz - Where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?
Well, just as well Xander slept like a champ the night before last, as he woke every hour and less last night!
To all the non sleeper bubs - sending sleepy vibes your way. I hope you get some rest today.
Kell - hope yu do have the immunity and dont need the booster.
Shell - thanks for your message. Mum did come over and help yesterday. Still sick tho. Sore throat and ears still. Mum stayed till James went to bed. She gave him his dinner and bathed him, and while I BF she made me dinner. Sometimes there is nothing better than having your mum around.
HAPPY 10 MONTHS JESSE!!!!
Meg.. oh what a lovely mum you have!! I wish mine was closer. But i hope you start to pick up soon.
Anna**.. silly Xander! Im sure he'll work it out eventuall.. i hope for you sake!
Helen.. i hope youre able to get some rest today.. even if its just a lay on the couch for a little while.
I really dont get this weather! p*ssing down rain one minute.. blue sky sun shining the next!! Still freezing my bazookas off though!! (well deflated bazooka's after having boofhead)

HI ya Laurin, Rikki, Sharleen and anyone else I have forgotten.
I am a bit over having m/s nad Anna yes totally agree I think its another girl (god help me heheheh)
OK back to the sweat shop for me
Im here. Not alot of time to myself.
Jett is in the wars and I am tired and ready to crawl into a hole & hide. Had him at the ER again today as he's had really bad runny poo's and been a pain in the butt the last 4 days. Turns out they think he is lactose intolerant all of a sudden soooooooo we've switched to soy formula in the hopes that it will stop the poo's and cheer him up. And guess what - HE HATES IT! Its all about Mama atm so I dont get any time to myself, he's always chasing me whinging.
1 more day til they leave!
Updated Js website with pics from baptism and snow. Will update better after my scan on thursday.
Cads - nope didnt get my italian. Looooooong story short, I didnt get anything at all.
Annat try just lactose free s26 thats what ruby is on and shes fine.
Must be the month for hair cuts.I had mine done like a katie holmes bob and dark brown,almost black.I reall like it.Makes me more modern and not like a mum that never gets out of the house.
BBL millana throwing a tanty.
Caddie - Your hair would look fab cut like that! Xander doesn't even have a feed overnight anymore... I really dunno why he wakes, maybe he is missing me or something?
AnnaT - Sorry to hear about Jett. Has he had gastro recently? I know many bubs are temporarily lactose intolerant after gastro for about a month or so. I think Goats Milk formula is one to try as well.
Maz - Thanks for the comment re my hair. I'm loving it! I tried calling you today, your phone was engaged for bloody ages, so I gave up. Will try again tomorrow.
Oh, big news... I've just about weaned Xander. Didn't really want to end just yet but still no sign of AF so hence why. We're down to one morning feed every second day now... getting all teary even tho it's planned weaning.
Anna**- I hope AF starts showing soon, do you think you could be O'ing even without AF? I think thats what my body is doing, have all the signs of it but only a day of spotting.
Caddie- your hair cut sounds good, I still have to get mine done and foils, want to get it done before I return to work.
AnnaT- Hope the runs stop soon, hopefully he'll accept the new formula and will be all sorted. Did they take a stool spec just to make sure no bugs growing?
Maz- yes we have another house to bid on on sat and after that we are back to square one again, unless we finally get this one. I think too you are having another girl, oh the joys it'll be when they are teenegers together!
Meg- Thats great your mum is so sweet. Must have felt good to be looked after instead of being the one looking after for a change.
Well wishes for all the sick bubs and lots of sleeping vibes to those who are keeping there poor tired mummies up!
I been out to city today, baby free again, had nice lunch and shopping. Great to catch up with friends and not have to worry bout prams, feeding, nappies, whinging etc, you get te drift. we were gonna see 3d at IMAX but being school holidays was already sold out when we got there.
Tomor off to my aunts place, we catch up every school holidays so she'll be amazed at how much Ash has grown and developed since last holidays.
Shell! I was in the city today! Argh, we should have co-ordinated.
This will be a mish mash post, cos I'm posting while watching tv...
Nope Maz, I did some stuff for Leo before she left for overseas so the overlocker's actually at mum and dad's at the moment - it was raining when I left so I left it there. Might pick it up tomorrow. You're right, I have all this hemp and bamboo to do stuff with!
Wow Anna, that's a big thing! Xander eats solids really well though doesn't he - do you think he'll miss the milk?
Caddie, I bet you look HOT! Oh yeah and Rans is off my case about the house, we moved the tv/computer/xbox unit closer to the couches, so it's harder for him to be distracted and see the rest of the room. :p
Annat, that sucks to the max that your birthday fizzled. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!! Can you ask for a substitute birthday dinner?
Was your hair darker before Ness?
I asked Rans to dish me up a bit too much Ravioli...I'm almost finished though!
Nelle- How funny if we actually walked past each other or something in city without even realising! Next time you go in we'll meet up for coffee, go to max brenners, all that chocolate there.
Lactose intolerance my butt. This kid is sick with something else entirely. He hasnt had dairy for 4 days solid food-wise and no normal formula for 24hrs and he is still sick - vomitted all over me and our bed last night out of the blue. He is refusing to drink anything now because he hates the soy formula and he has had a small rash on his hand (looks like bruising) for 4 days now and its spreading up his arm this morning. Shell, they didnt take any stool samples because the stupid Dr was so sure it was LI so no tests were done. I come to find out a simple acid test with his poo would have yay'd or nay'd the lactose idea there and then. He is so whingy and clingy its not funny and he's lost 700g of weight. This isnt my child. But because he isnt miserable with a fever and lethargy they wont take me seriously. Anna, I think he has a gastro bug or something similar but they wont do any tests so I have no idea if thats what it is or not. He writhes like he's in pain esp at night and is inconsolable at times.
Im getting sick of this and Im starting to worry, this isnt normal. Im going to try the other hospital here (the one we went to for the ear infections) and see if they will be fantastic again in their treatment of us both. No point seeing the GP as it will take a week for any test results to come back when I can get them back same day through the hospital.
This is taking its toll on me health wise, I bet my BP is through the roof and Im having cramps all the time now. Maybe I can get them to check me over too while Im there.
Will update when I know more.
Hope he picks up soon AnnaT, can't believe they didn't take a spec just to be certain! Slack Drs. Maybe if you get to ER early you won't have to wait round too long.
AnnaT - iwould refuse to leave the hosp until they took you seriously. Poor little mite - and it is not good for your health either.
All this talk of new haircuts/colours has made me think that I really need to get my hair done. I have had it cut once since having james. I was thinking of growing it a bit longer anyway. James has discovered hair pulling, so I want to be able to fit it back in a pony tail to give him less temptation. I have really curly hair, so I can never get cool styles cut, as it just does what it wants anyway!!!
I am feeling much better today. Tired, but no sore throat anymore.
James has got a rash all over his tummy. Looks like Eczma. If it doesnt get any better, we will be back to the GP. I was a big Eczma sufferer as a child.
I have never been to the GP so much inmy life since having James!!!
To you girls who went into the city - lucky you. I havent been into Melbourne in a good year I think!
Caddie - how long till results?
Maz- my mum is an absolute angel. She is one of these people that would give you the world. Wjen I was preg, she would come over and clean the house, cook me some meals to freeze, and do all my ironing. She is very maternal, and loves to assist people if they need it. She would help out anyone. Ashame you aren't closer, as she would be over in a flash.
Not much happening here today. Might take the dog for a walk, and visit my Grandma. She has just knitted James another little cardy. They look so great on him. She does really modern designs. I love knitted stuff on babies.
