Babies Born September 2006 #64

Morning ladies. Seems our good run of sleeping through is over *sigh*

Yeah its more common than you realise Vix! If you just google Pre Eclamspia you should get the Australian Pre Eclampsia website come up.

Um forgot to mention that all of us will not get the full $600 and/or $300 payment from Centrelink for bubs because they were "unlucky" enough to be born in September. I never realised we didnt get the full amount. I think I got $770 of the $935 in payments.

Which reminds me it should be in my bank account today but it isnt.

Is that because September puts them a few months into the next financial year?

What? I had been counting on that $600.00. Why???? That sucks!:( Sometimes it feeld like every way you turn there is another wall to heat butt.:wall:

Good morning everyone! Sorry for the dummy spit but I had not heard about that. Maybe we could protest!!!! Say its discrimination or something. he he he.

Bails was awake amonst an hour early this morning coz of the stupid garbo man. Have just put him down 30 minutes earlier than norm for his morning nap. Seems to have gone out like a light, bless him!:D

Have a great day today. :)

Exactly right, only people who have babies in July get the full amount straight off. Next year onwards we will get the full amount (and us Jan Mama's will only get half for the new bubs).

Should be showering and cleaning up so Ry, J and I can go shopping this arvo. Its Make-me-broke day today. Bring on the groceries and bills :rolleyes: :doh: Upside I am going to look at possibly getting a dishwasher YAY.

hi ya girls
Just a quicky to wish Medg good luck and you are so brave!!!!
BBL when I have a brain to think with

Oh mercy Ness, I can't remember how much...what's retail? Is it $600 plus $99 for the sports thing? Or is it more? Maybe it's less. I layby'd mine so....can't remember...I think I paid $550 for the buggy which came with some covers? No idea. Sorry. I'll see if Rans remembers when he gets home.

I have no idea what payment you guys are talking about...it's too confusing.

All the best for today Meg.

Hope work's good Shell.

Hey, has anyone got a dust buster? I want one, I reckon it'd be great for River's little localised messes, where he crumbles a biscuit all over a small section of carpet, I don't want to pull the Dyson out for that!! But Rans reckons they're crap, they had one when he was a kid. I pointed out to him that that would make the dustbuster about 20 years old and surely technology would have improved, they didn't have vacuums like Dysons back in those days either. And he was like, hmpf. Well you can get one if it's a good one. So. Does anyone have one??

Oh my goodness.. i think i have the most whingiest boy on the planet here today!!!! From what i can see, 2 more bottom teeth are through.. and i think two more top will be on the way.. so currently stats are at 2 top, 4 bottom.. but oh for the clinginess. Then when i pick him up or cuddle he turns into a banana.. crazy child.

Nessa.. i know omg! This time next week im gonna be running round the house cleaning like a mad thing!!!!

Nelle.. i want one too. Grahame has said the exact same thing.. he reckons i might as well just pull the vacumn out but i dont wanna for a few crumbs!

Vixstar.. i got $774 i think back for Jesse. Theres $600 for FTA and theres $350 for FTB and just goes according to how long theyve been here so you might still get over the $600 mark.

Anyways.. Jesse's playing without whinging (touch wood!) so im gonna go quickly make a cuppa while hes content..

YES *waving arms like mad woman* Ive got a dust buster and its the best thing since sliced bread. Vy makes a mess and I just get it out after her and clean in 2 mins flat. Get one you so wont regret it.
Kell - I so hear you with the hole I want mummy, no I dont thing atm. Vy finally went to sleep in my arms while I was on the phone to Anna. I could dig a hole and crawl in it some days. Good to hear (from what your typing by the way) that your alot happier.
Ness - email and let me know if you want acopy of the pattern to.
As for centerlink grrr. they only paid me $30 of the amount of what they pay for a child fortnightly when I first had Vy cause she was born 2 days after my 'pay' week started...WTF! Got htem back by making them repay me for us overestimating...now I have to spend that on my car for the seats and getting them put in $1600 later......

Hey all just popping in to say hi

meg good luck hun - be brave! :)

Dustbusters are great for small messes, crumbs, etc, I am sure technology has improved over the last 20 years, ha ha.

What else, huge yay on getting a dishwasher AnnaT!

Can't think of anything else sorry, back to my studies while R is still asleep.
Laurin :)

god i feel so pregnant.....can you feel preggers as soon as you fall?

my mum said she knew as soon as she fell with me...oh chrissy fingers and flaps crossed honey

I guess, if you know what to feel for. You're looking for all the subtle changes in your body, so you're more likely to notice them, instead of brushing them off as unrelated niggles. Does that make sense? Keep us posted Chrissy!

Good luck to anyone else who could potentially have a bun in the oven!

Lol, I found a Dyson handheld vacuum for $299...think that's just slightly extreme for our needs.

Ah crap, I told River off for banging the keys and now he's wailing. Later.

thought i would say nigh nighs........too get my 1000 post up.....taken me a little longer than lots of you chatter boxes

Whoohoo on 1000 posts Chrissy, I am still ages off.

Not much to say sorry, have a massive headache, talk again in the new thread.

Love

Helen - catch an early night if you can. Hope your head feels better.

Seeing the specialist tomorrow...... Not looking forward to it.

Oh - and I packed some more boxes. How exciting!

Helen, is there any chance that you're pregnant? Sorry, am I becoming a bit pregnancy-paranoid? Headache? You're pregnant! Fainting? You're pregnant! Feeling a bit off? You're pregnant! Stubbed your toe? You're pregnant!

Anyway, I'm feeling a bit off. Eating cheese and crackers. Not helping. Am rather grumpy.

Yay on your post count Chrissy!

Ness, have you seen Adele lately? Do you know how she's going?

ETA: Ah crap, now I'm out of cheese.

Nelle - your posts always make me laugh!!

Yeah how is Adele? Anyone talk to her?

Meg- Good luck for tomor, will be thinking of you, let us know how it goes.

Chrissy- Oooh :crossfingers: that your feelings are right!

nelle- I been thinking too bout getting one! I decided when we move I will definately, want to keep my new place clean.

kell- How is jesse? Settled with those teeth, god they're a pain, this one tooth of Ash's I've been waiting ages to come thru, can see it just under the gum.

I have a big day of shopping with my sister tomor, well be a big day if I find anything, just popping over to Southland, can't wait. I reakon at the rate I'm going my first pay will be all spent on new clothes. i do need some though haven't bought any really since before I was pregnant.

Helen.. hope your head feels better tomorrow hun.

Maz.. thanks hun.. you always know how to make someone smile :)

Shell.. Jess settled pretty easy tonight. He's good with his self settling atm. But this afternoon/night he's just been whing whing whing.. though i guess you cant blaim them, must hurt like hell the poor things. Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow with your sister, go splurge on yourself!

Nelle.. mmmm cheese and crackers. You know whats great on crackers.. Philly! mmmmmmm!!

Meg.. will be thinking of you hun.. hope it all goes well.

Well i think i might be off too.. need sleep.. wow its 10.20pm! havent been up this late since that damn nappy hunt!

Night Johnboy...

I CANNOT SLEEP............beenin bed for an hour and I keep thinking 'baby in belly or not', 'back to crappy job or sell vegies to bring in money'. I really did not expect to be thinking like this in the first month of trying. I seriously thought it would take a few months....but then again I don't know for sure I am utd.

Chrissy - I am with ya on the whole feeling preggas....I nearly rang Rick up this monirng to get him to come home coz I was really faint and dizzy. It started about 30 mins after I got up and settled later in the morning. Then, I was fine in town but around 5pm I started getting peckish and then a wave of nausea came over me and has more or less stayed with me all evening. Oh yer, gf and I got in a lift and it had this god awefull smell which made me stomach heave (sp?)...sorry brain now tired! Then.....in the parents room, oh lordy the smell was gross, I was outta there fast. I only ovulated in the last few days. With Bailey I was about 6 weeks before anything happened apart from that 'orrible, never ending metalic taste which started at 4 weeks. Wow, that was a long reply. :lol: I think I would feel silly doing a test atm!

We also have a hand vac thingy, aahh bugger whats it called, the little vaccum that is always on charge???????:doh: I use mine to pick up the birdseed that falls from our ****ateils coz they are inside all the time now. Saves Bailey eating the seeds off the floor.:) Mind you he is so scared of it and screams the place down when I use it near him.

Kell - thanks for that info about the $600 buckeroos...I feel happy again.:dance:

Think I am tired now...night night. zzzzzzzzzz

Oh yeah, that's right. The first preggo sign I get is smelling things. That's what first makes me go 'hmmm'. When something smells really strong.

Rans got me some milk and lollies before he went work. The milk has made me feel much better. Weird. Oh, and I tidied our bedroom too - I'd say it looked like a bomb had hit it, but I think I bomb would have been an improvement. But now clothes are sorted into two baskets: 'keep' and 'opshop'. Never mind that the 'keep' one is against the wall with clothes halfway up the wall. They're contained.

Lol at you girls who are needing sleep by 10:30 - that's an early night for me!! Though my sleep is all over the place these days, sometimes I have an early night nap and then can't sleep til 3, other times I'll head to bed early.

Just a quick one as i have to get ready for mums group.

HAPPY 11 MONTHS TO MY GORGEOUS LITTLE MAN JESSE

Holey moley 11 months!! I cant believe in a month it was a year ago i was in so much pain hehe.. but also Jessman was born!

Nessa.. sorry you had a bad night. Maybe get some Berocca im pretty sure thats ok as long as you dont go over board with it.

Have a great day ladies!!

thanks for all the lucky charms girls..........probably in my head, i couldnt be lucky enough to fall preggers straight away, when TTC caity took 18months.......anyway i am pretty estatic that i will be back to normal and have regular cycle, so thats good news either way:)

Yay, we are paper rich :cryinglaugh: Centrelink AND tax both payed us today. Now I have to grudgingly pay off $1200 to my OBGYN and the rest off our credit card :( Thankgod I get $960 of the $1200 back from Medicare. I might get my dishwasher after all.

BBL for more, bub is having one of those days.

Wow... that's heaps back AnnaT. I got $570. That was is from all sources. Soooo peeved.
