Hey I am so sorry but no personals, I have been madly working on a uni assignment since Friday night in between looking after Rylee, but just wanted to be selfish and come on here and say:
Happy 11 Months Birthday to my gorgeous princess Rylee!!!
(maybe that is why she was such a ratbag last night!)
Have a good one mums & bubs
Laurin :)

Happy 11 months Rylee
Aww that sucks Ness. :hug: Do you have long to pay it? It seems a lot now, but if you set aside a bit every week it might be more manageable. Even if you call whoever handles it and ask for an extra week or so if that works better for your budget - I'm not sure how lenient they are with these things. I've heard they're owed millions in unpaid fines though, so perhaps they'll be flexible with someone who's actually willing to pay it? Sorry, I have no idea about these things really, I drive like a granny. :p
In contrast to poor Ness' day, I had quite a good one (sorry mate). Had friends and family over after church for a bbq for Ran's birthday, and the friends hung around for most of the day just to play computer/xbox/listen to music/play with Riv and chat. We were pretty knackered after the last of our mates left. Well I was. I get tired so easily!! So I went to bed with the laptop and fell asleep and now I'm awake but feel sick. Got a beer mug of milk and a glass of ginger beer on the bedside table - and I bet you I'll polish both them off and be thirsty in the middle of the night - whenever it's coldest. :p
All the best to those of you who are busy!! It seems to be a busy time of year hey.
Jodi, that's great you're having warm weather! I'm frizzing. FRIIIIIZZING here.
Right, well I think I've inflicted my ramblings on all of you for long enough. Lol, and it'll only get worse too. Suck it up girls. Though on the flip side, I still feel sick. Suck it up Nelle. Right. Hugs and kisses and goodnight girls. xo
aww Ness - an honest mistake, of course you wouldn't put your girls in that situation on purpose - it sucks bigtime doesn't it!! Like Nelle said maybe you could pay it off in smalller amounts to make it easier.
Nelle - glad you had a good one.
Well I have finished one assignment, 4 to go.......another one due Friday, better get to it.
Gotta go,
Laurinx
hi girls, happy 11 months to the bubbas!
Nelle - hope that you feel better soon.. must admit the though of milk and ginger beer anywhere near each other makes me feel a little queezy...
Laurin - good luck for finishing your assignments
Ambz - hi! love the pic of Savannah in yor ticker
Ness - huge hugs.. i hope that they can work out a payment plan for you? could anyone loan you the money and yuo could pay them back over time?
Belle - HIYA! hope all is well...
Helen - bbbbbbbrrrrrrrrr i have started to wean alexander aswell, you have to be so careful about these lumpy breasts... so take care my dear..
Maz - hows things?
Caddie - Happy holidays mate!
I ll be back later to try and do personals..
my sister arrives today woo hooo!!!!
Ness - That fine seems very high for 10 km over the speed limit.
Nelle - Glad you had a good day. Did you manage to not let your news slip to your friends?
Laurin - Keep plugging away on those assigments.
Annie - Have fun with your sis.
Ness - I know of someone who has been fined a bazillion times for stupid things (unfortunately this person NEVER learns) and last time they got a $300 fine the RTA let them pay it off at $20 a week so please ring them and ask them about doing the same thing ok?
BBL, hospy booking in appointment at 11am and I only just got up (we had a sleep through woot woot).
Nessa.. you poor thing.. as ive said its happened to me before so i know how you feel, though i wasnt pregnant.. :hugs:
Just a quick one from me. Mum and dad are coming over today with their travel cot, high chair and car seat for little Miss Annika when she arrives! Only 2 weeks today Nessa!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a quickie today - heaps to do. Mondays:rolleyes:
Nessa - :hug: Sorry to hear you got pulled over but don't get stressed about it. Not good for your little growing bundle of joy. Ring the RTA or like Rick did once, wrote a letter and went on about his clean record etc and did not have to pay the fine. He was speeding on a down hill run interstate.:redface:
Kell - forgot to say we went to Windsor on saturday for the first time in sooooo long. You really live in such a nice part of the world!:D
Goodmorning to everyone, have a great day.
xxx
Morning yummy mummies!
Aww Ness... don't feel too bad. It's so easy to accidently miss a speed sign and let the speedo creep up a bit. I use to work in licensing in WA, and like has been suggested, just ring them and they will devise a payment plan for you. Some people in WA are paying off over $1000 worth of fines at $5 a week ;)
Nelle - A beer glass of milk? At least you wont be calcium deficiant!
I had a great day too yesterday... Xander went to one of the bubs from playgroups' first birthday party. It's only next week and he'll be ONE!!! Xanders' party is on Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it. I better hurry up and finish his cake tho.
Helen - Hows the lumpy boobies going? I never got lumps with Xander, but I think I did the worlds slowest weaning process ever! We dropped down to one feed every 2nd day, then one feed after the 3rd day before I finally weaned. Mind you, the feed on the 3rd day really was pointless as by that stage I had pretty much no milk at all.
Laurin - Good luck with those assignments.
Talking of weaning, am I the only one whos boobies have gotten even smaller than what they were pre-preg. I'm actually starting to get a little depressed about it and in honesty, I am just about completely flat. No bras fit at all, so am living my life wearing a padded sports bra. I just dunno what to do about it, I don't think gaining weight would solve the problem as I gain in the bum.
Annie - I'll give you some of mine....ive gone up to an EE already.
Ness - honey i got a fine for exactly the same thing..but OMG $300..mine was $130 and im going to pay it of (in 5c pieces hahahahah)
Kell - ive been saying the hello sunshine thing all weekend, thanks for putting a sile on my dial
AnnaT - hope your appointment goes better then mine....
hello everyone else
Had a very busy weekend..bought some 3rd row seats for the ford for $700 the pair, they are $1600 each normally...good old ebay! Had my ob's appointment today..I measure at 19 weeks here I go again! I asked to listen to the hb too but he couldnt find it....im a bit worried but u/s is in 2 weeks so trying my hardest not to think about it.
BBL
Hugs Maz. Not long to go til the u/s. Great deal on the seats!
Anna, heaps of supermodels don't have any boobs - you must have a supermodel body! :p
Nah Meg, I didn't tell, I'm a pretty good secret keeper!
River just lay down on the carpet for a nap, so I popped him in his cot...where I can hear him playing :rolleyes: Ah well. Had a good chuckle last night actually after his middle of the night feed, he was laughing and squealing - he must crack himself up. :p
My appointment went fine, Im sorry yours didnt Maz. You know Ive never heard this baby's heartbeat and I only heard Jett's once? I wonder why some Drs are doppler happy and others arent. Awesome score on the seats though!
Im all booked in to hospital now. The midwives there seem really lovely and were already joking about having to deliver bub in the carpark hehehe They are pretty much as supportive as my last hospital was but the bonus is they actually encourage skin to skin contact literally straight after birth. My hosp in Perth didnt allow it and esp not in my circumstances with the pre eclampsia but they assured me here that unless bub isnt breathing or Im seriously not well there wont be a problem, and even if there is they will do s2s contact as soon as possible. They wont even take bub off you to weigh them/give injections until youve had a cuddle and a breastfeed! I didnt breastfeed Jett until 4 hours after birth because no one said anything to me. Im super looking forward to delivering there now.
I sucked it up and booked Jett into 'kindy' on Fridays from 9am-2pm. I wanted Thursdays but they have a limit of 4 kids under 3yo on any day so Fridays there was only 2 others. Means the carers arent swamped with kids who cant walk/go potty etc. The lady seemed really nice and was understanding of my silly worries. She said to pop in and have a look beforehand and I can always ease into graduallywith 1 hour, then 2 hours, then 3 etc.
Lots of tears on Friday Im sure.
Hi all,
Ness- big hugs to you. Is it your first fine cause if so as someone else mentioned just write to them and tell them how good you are usually and you made stupid mistake and tell them how you obey limits normally cause they're so important, stuff like that and they should let you off with a warning.
AnnaT- Thats great your appt went well, sounds like a good place. And yay on booking Jett into a kindy, I been thinking lately I should pop Ash into occasional care sometime just to get a break or few hours to myself, go shopping or something.
Nelle- I love it how River can just lie down and decide to nap anywhere. Ash has to be put in cot or she won't sleep.
Maz- Big hugs, try not worry, you prolly have a cheeky bub who just doesn't want to lie in a posi where they can find it!
Anna**- I recommend boob job, lol, I could recommend good surgeon here in melb. I have heard boobs can get smaller after BF. I'm starting to think i should've got larger implants cause I loved the size I had when I had heaps of milk, they feel all squishy now.
Annie- Does your sister still live in Sydney? It'll be great for you to see her again, enjoy!
I been so slack today done nothing! i always tired day after work, altho working sundays pretty good, get paid time and half plus it usually not as busy as during week.
Quick question, anyone still BF? Sounds like heaps weaning going on so just wondering who is still going, we still going most days, I just give formula when I'm at work or need break or whatever.
I'm still breastfeeding! When River wakes up, when he goes to bed, and one in the middle of the night (we're going to cut that one at some stage I think). What kind of implants do you have Shell? Have you had any trouble with them? I think my boobs are getting smaller too. :( Hate to think what they'll be like once I've done feeding all my children.
You guys are such chatter boxes. Hugs to Neesa and Maz.
Gottta go , Etihan is asleep so I might go down myself for a quick nap I am soooo tired.
Love
hey all,
yeah, my boobs are a pretty sad case as welll.....oh well all for a good cause I guess. AS soon as I stopped bfind they deflated. Shocker night here Rylee was awake from 12 am - 3 am - now DH tells me it is all my fault and I spoilt her by getting up to her all the time....
Gotta go and have a coffee and try and cheer up
Have a good one
Laurin
Laurin - Sorry you had a shocker night. Hopefully tonight will be better.
Maz - You have just gotta try not to worry - easier said than done. It will be fine though.
Shell - I am still breastfeeding, first thing in the morning, and last thing before James goes to bed, and sometimes I will feed at lunch time, and sometimes I will give formula - all depends. I had stopped the lunch feed, but when he got sick I started it up again. I actually don't want to give up the feeding yet. I will prob feed till January when I go back to work.
Nelle - are you going to tandem feed, or ween before the next bub?
Helen - Hope you get a rest.
Ness - Fingers crossed that you get the fine at least reduced.
AnnaT - I am sure he will have a blast at kindy.
Not much to report here. Visited my grandparents this arvo, and James has just gone down in his cot for a rest.
I too am really tired today. I have only packed 2 boxes today. I am a but overwhelmed with the packing. It seems never ending!!! - and how do you fully pack when you are still using stuff??? I had myself a snooze this morning while James was asleep. I must have slept for about an hour. That is so not like me - I never sleep during the day! I haven't even made the bed today. Also trying to use everything up from the freezer, so it is homemade pizza on pitta bread tonight!
packing sucks bigtime doesn't it Meg - moving house is rated as one of the most stressful things in life (I think with divorce, death, getting married, having a bub) so you have every right to feel overwhelmed. And, there is always so much stuff that you have to leave until the last minute as you are using it.
:)
Meg- I'm not moving for another 5 weeks and I'm already stressing, as you said there'll be all the stuff you still use esp for bubs.
Laurin- Give Dh of yours a good slap! What would he prefer you to do? leave her screaming? Men sometimes can be insensitive they should be supportive instead. Hope you have a better night tonight.
Ness- Hopefully the letter does the trick, no harm in trying, hopefully you'll get someone who has a heart and understands.
Nelle- I've got silicone ones, they meant to be pretty safe these days, even if you use a saw to cut them they can't leak. (Thats what surgeon tells me don't know why my boobs would be sawn off!) I've been lucky with them, no probs at all, even BF came easy and I was bit worried bout that.
BOOBS...........WHAT BOOBS??? after all my lot theres not much left!!!
Vixstar.. i keep forgetting youre so close! We'll have to do coffee sometime!!
Anna**.. my boobs are smaller than they were pre-pregnancy.. and i only breastfed for 9 days.. i used to be a nice C.. now im a B..
Maz.. aww :hugs: bubs was probably just laying in a funny position. Jesse measured 1 week ahead throughout his pregnancy.
Meg.. yummoooo i love homemade pizza!!!! I guess you just pack things you know you wont need or could do without. I hate packing.. will hate it when we move next we have so much stuff!
My homemade pizza was yummmmmo! I noticed that there are heaps of chicken fillets in my freezer. Anyone got any good recipes?
I am having an early night. Feel lousy. I have a headache. I think I can feel my stress levels building up with every box I pack. Doesn't help that Tim won't be home till Friday, so I am packing on my own. I can't leave half open boxes around either as James can get into things.
I get my Thyroid results tomorrow morning.
Belle - how are you? It has been a while since we have heard from you. How are the new meds going?
Oh... how I wish I was a B cup! Actually a B cup looks pretty big on me as I'm normally only an A cup anyway (but now I'm not even that *boo hoo*).
Shell, I've been thinking of a boob job once I'm done having kids/breastfeeding - I'm still hanging onto the vague hope that the next bub may bring bigger boobs that stay! I've seen your pics, your boobs are huge woman... and you want them bigger????
Nelle - How's your milk supply holding up with the pregnancy?
Maz - Hon, you ok? Sorry to hear the scan was less than wonderful... don't stress too much as sonographers sometimes do find it hard to get a heartbeat in early pregnancy through the abdomen (you normally get a dildo cam at your stage of pregnancy)
AnnaT - Your hospy sounds nice. If you ever move back to Perth and have a bub here, make sure you book in at the family birth centre that I went to as it has everything that you are wishing for in labour!
Laurin - Sorry to hear about your shocker night. Little Rylee just doesnt like sleeping much does she. I really feel for you as I know what you are going through right now :hug:
Meg - I'm one of those weirdos that actually doesn't mind moving house. I see it as a great excuse for a spring clean ie I tend to throw out a lot of stuff whenever I shift house and de-clutter (we sell and move every couple of years). Just pack what you know you don't need in boxes. Even kitchen plates etc can be mostly packed - just leave 2 plates, 2 bowls, etc and pack the rest leaving the boxes open so you can just pop them in before you shift. The last few nights before I move and nearly always 'takeaway' food days or frozen lean cuisine etc. I'll pm you a link to a 'moving timetable' that might help a bit.
Ok, 'nuff typing now, better go read up a bit. Oh,... and where is Bel?
Hey just out of interest what are your bubs nap times during the day and for how long - are they down to one nap, rylee had a very quick half hour nap at 11.30 am and now she has fallen asleep having her tea - when she has a late nap she won't go to bed till about 10 pm - I am dreading tonight :(
Goood morning good morning la la la la laaa..
Meg.. i have a very yummy sweet and sour chicken receipe we make all the time. Let me know if youre interested.
Laurin.. Jesse still generally has 2 naps.. sometimes its only 1 but we try for 2. Morning nap is usually between 10.30-11am then wakes anywhere from 11.30-1pm. His afternoon nap is usually at about 3-4pm and usually sleeps until 5-5.30pm when we wake him for dinner. He goes down at 7.30pmish for night. Sometimes he wont sleep in his afternoon nap.. just play in his bed.. if hes still awake arount 5pm ill just bring him back out. But i guess all bubs are different. Could you perhaps try and get her to sleep a little earlier in the mornings so that then she'll sleep a little earlier in the afternoon. Or if not, try and stretch her morning nap out the more 12pm (give lunch earlier).. so then hopefully with the 1 nap she'll sleep an hour or 2 and that will be enough? Its hard that transition from 1 to 2 naps when 2 is too much and 1 isnt enough.
Jesse's starting to let go all the time now and stand on his own. He still doesnt say anything other than bub bub bub bub.. even though i drill into him mum mum or dad dad..
Ash is still into throwing things into the bin, mainly pulling magnets off fridge and putting them in!
On a good note, last night she woke as usual at 11:30 but settled herself without a feed and slept til 7am! So she skipped her 4:30 wake-up also. So I am hoping she just stops all together waking at 11:30. Its the worst time to be woken cause I've just gotten off to sleep.
Laurin- It varies here depending on what time Ash gets up and what time she goes down for her first nap. Some days I do try stretch the morning out a bit longer if I know I won't get 2 in. yesterday though she only decided to nap for half hour and that was it, its not so bad if she does a 1.5 hr nap.
Meg- Good luck with the test results, its about time they tell you whats going on, you've been waiting ages. What time is your appt?
Anna**- I def recommend after all your bubs get the boob job, seriously it may be expensive but it is the best money I have ever spent, it made buying clothes so much more enjoyable and made me feel so much better about my body.
Got mums group this arvo and might pop into Df work with Ash seeing as they haven't seen her for months.
shell - what bra size are you now? And what were you before?
I was a D before Nina, got to an E while pg & b/f, now back to a D-DD. I can't see them reducing any more.
I've had a horrible migraine last night. Heath had to go into town at 10.30 last night to get me some medication. I feel like a walking zombie today. And Nina has the sniffles and is a real turd last night and this morning. I don't know how single mothers cope. I'm struggling to cope and I have a husband and family! (although they are all at work today).
laurin - Nina has one sleep a day usually, and that's at around 11-1. If she has a morning nap, then she'll have an afternoon nap, but is like Rylee, and is an evil child at night lol
woohoo on Jesse standing on his own! It won't be long and he'll be saying mum & dad!
Nina is cutting another 2 teeth, at the bottom. Maybe that's why she's so evil the past 24 hours?
maz - I'm sure everything is a-ok with bubby. Remember early on, I think your first ultrasound. They said Mr Squiggles was buried deep down. Maybe she/he still is, and that's why they can't pick up on the heartbeat.
meg - good luck with your results. Let us know how you go.
annat - Jett is going to love kindy! You'll shed a few tears, but that's to be expected. I still get all teary when I drop Nina off. I'd love to stay home with her, but I see how much fun she is having. She starts squealing with excitement as soon as we pull into the driveway lol
Jodi.. oh you poor thing, i know what those terrible migrains are like! Hope Nina wakes up a happy girl from her morning nap for you. Have a day on the couch if you can.
Shell.. oh woooo on ash sleeping through!!!!!!!!!!
Jesse has worked out how to push drinks out of his mouth. He'll take a mouthful or water or milk then open his mouth and let it roll out. This morning he's now worked out how to do it with his food (weatbix). He can be a cheaky lil bugger sometimes :lol:
Morning all,
Goot be real quick, Playschool has just started and Bails and I sit on the floor to watch it together and he is calling out for me.
I took 6 weeks to wean bailey - that has to be a record. Bloody Mastitis!:rolleyes:
Kell - I usually in Penrith every Thursday from about 2pm if you are in town, let me know. :)
Best run or I will be the worlds worst Mummy for not watching Playschool!!!!
xxx
I would have considered it actually if we were still in Perth this time round. Unfortunately this is the final baby for us so no fulfilled dreams of a water birth or anything like that. Ive been thinking alot about Perth lately, I miss it so much.........way more than I thought I would :(:
Jett usually goes down for a nap at 11:30am and will sleep til 2:30pm. He goes to bed at 8:30pm and sleeps through til 8:30-9:00am.:
Yes thats right ladies, sleeping through :clap::dance: Must be all the walking he's doing. Its weird to wake up at 8:30am and know he hasnt stirred, I still panic most times and run to check on him.
Hasnt made a lick of difference to MY tiredness though :doh:
Just on the boob topic, Im the opposite of you all. I had literally ZERO boobage before I got pregnant, then I got up to a 12B. When I stopped bf at 4wks I thought Id lose it for sure but nope, still a 12B. Now Im probably more a 12C lol Hoepfully I wont lose it after this bub. Ive already made Ry promise to let me have a tummy tuck when we have the money, I care more about a flat tummy than boobs.
Hi guys, soo tired, just a quickie. Hope you are all well.
Laurin-Rylee sounds sooo much like what Bella was like as a baby its not funny. I really feel for you and what you are going through. When I had Bella noone understood what it was like, they just presumed that I spoilt her rotten and let her get her onw way, but seriously she was hard work and any attempt at controlled crying and routine would have her vomitting everywhere she used to get herself so worked up. Bella was the same during the day would always fall asleep, no matter what at about 4-5pm and then wouldnt go to sleep until about 1am after heaps of walking around and rocking. I really commend you for being able to do this most of the time as a single mother plus doing your uni assignments, you msut be sooo exhausted and in need of a break. As for suggestions on how to deal with her. I would try not to stress too much about her bedtime, she is still young and if you can be more relaxed about her being up she may start to relax too. Maybe aim for bedtime at 10pm instead of 7pm and then slowly work you way backwards 5-10mins at a time until you get her to bed at a more desireable time. Also as hard as it is laying on the floor next to her cot and rubbing her back and giving her a bit of a tap to go to sleep. A lot of the time with Bella I could be in there for an hr or more, but eventually she would calm down sooner and sooner, but she would still like to make sure I was there and would cuddle my arm to go to sleep. Look I really dont think that there is anything magic that I can say that would help you out. But please know that I know what you are going through and it is hard work and no amount of things would really help Bella. She went into a big bed earlier and that seemed to help, but take heart she will get better, and you'll look back at this time and wonder how the hell you coped, but you are coping, she is a happy and healthy girl, all that is wrong it is that she doesnt sleep well. Yes it's a hard slog for you but something you will get through. Hope that helps.
Love
Hello all - got my results, Thyroid seems ok, but I have quite a lot of nodules in my neck, and there is a chance that they could be cancerous. So I have to go and have a radioactive test today. I am actually really upset about it. Not worried about the cancer thing, just more upset because I won't be able to breastfeed for 24 hours, and should only be handling James minimally. Tim is away for work, but is going to come home. So at least he will care for James.
Kell - send your recipe my way. I would love it.
Laurin - James' routine is exactly the same as Jesse's.
AnnaT - Woo Hoo on the sleep through.
Jodi - Hope you are feeling better today.
Anna - THanks for the link.
Gymbaroo this afternoon, then off to the test.......
:( Awww Meg that is sad news about not being able to be with James. Also that is worrying that they are worried about cancer.:hugs:Sending huge hugs your way. Glad to hear that hubby is coming home to help out. Thinking of you.
Caddie-How is everything going on your end, any news yet????
Love
that online nappie hunt is sending me BONKERS!!!!
hi megan.. wishing you all the best for the radiation this afternoon .
xoxo hi everyone else... just busy.. love ya lots
In a rush, but hugs Meg. Have you expressed so James can at least have some of your milk in the break? Hope everything turns out just fine. :hug:
Hugs to those with the sleeping issues, hello to everyone else!
SHarleen - I just made it on my phto thingo on the computer (I have absolutely NO BRAIN for big words)
I shrunk the smaller pics and pasted them onto the bigger pic.

Hello everyone else...having busy day (what else is new)
