Rikki-Never worry about moaning, I would be too. I really feel for you and how upsetting it must be to see Ainsleigh sick. I truly hope that the respiritory specialist can help her out. Poor little thing having to sleep upright. HUge hugs and kisses to Ainsleigh, I hope she gets better soon.

My scan is at 2:50est.

Better go have to be at the drs in an hr for Bella.

Love

The insanity begins, Ry has gone I just about cried when he came in to say goodbye. He looked so worried about leaving me. Im trying to get off my butt and organise Jett for kindycare today. I was just going to keep him out until after Ry gets back but if I do that we'll have to do the clingyness all over again and atleast itll give me a chance to sit down for longer than 5min and I might actually make it to the PO to post my KK pressie. Im all groceried up so I shouldnt need to go farther than the store next door for milk and bread.

Shopping yesterday wasnt such a good idea though it had to be done, whatever had popped out and shrunk back in again completely has popped out again and my back/stomach hurts intermittently.

On the upside Jett has *finally* learned to clap! Considering he is so far ahead in everything else I was getting worried there was something wrong with his hands. Instead of clapping he used to link his hands and shake them above his head as if to say "Im a champion" He was swinging in his JJ last night while Ry was packing (J had wind so I thought the jumper might help get it out which it did!) and Ry said something to him about "Oh arent you a clever jumping boy" and he clapped for himself. So that was a nice little Bye Daddy present.

Anywho better go get us both dressed and pack J's lunch bag. BBL.

[**Helen**]

AnnaT-You really need to try and slow down if you can hun. Whoohoo on Jett clapping.

VIxstar-Congrats on the BFP.

I spoke to dr today and she is fine if I cancel the scan and make it for next week after the bleeding has stopped as I dont have a temperature or anything. She said the bleedign can go on for a while and this is just my bodies way of making sure everything is gone.

Well I have heaps of forms etc to sign and drop off ready for settlement of property on Mon. Damn those stamp duties etc add to the price, *sigh*.

Just a quick hello :hi: this morning before mums group.

Nessa.. :big :hugs: hun.. i hope youre feeling a bit better today.. am always here for you.

Have a great day ladies!

[Anna**]

AnnaT - That's great about Jett clapping... hope your bits go back where they belong soon. Are you doing all your pelvic floor exercises?

HelenP - I'm really sorry your body is going through this right now. I hope it all ends for you soon. Arrgghhh... stamp duty! Such a swear word!

Rikki - I dunno what to say about Ains, 'cept hang in there! I really hope that the soon coming warmer weather brings some relief from the illnesses. Are your work colleagues being understanding about all this time off?

Kell - Love the ticker pic of Jesse!

[Freya]

I always did them Anna**. Maybe not all day everyday but I did do them. I even went to physio class when preg with Jett, walked alot and make a concious effort not to slouch/lift myself up with my core muscles. I danced for most of my life so if anyone abdo muscles would be nice itd be mine. I just dont know why this happened to me unless Jett weakened my vag muscles coming out (esp so fast) but because I had no complications the medical staff didnt think it was an issue? How can you really know though, obviously my vajayjay just cant do lots of pressure/weight. Thankgod no more babies for me atleast. Im not so worried about it anymore, Ive researched a bit on the net and its pretty easy to fix if you catch it early enough. Im just concerned about what damage another vag birth would do, as much as I am anti caesarian for myself and would do anything I could to avoid one if it will minimise damage and allow me to get out of major vaginal surgery and be able to have sex in the future then Id definately opt for it.

[Anna**]

AnnaT - I've heard that super fast labours can cause a prolapse as you tend to push fairly uncontrollably in a fast labour (usually before your body is ready - even if bub is!). I know after Xander, it has taken nearly a year for my pelvic floor to 'lift' - and sex has been painful for most of this time. I honestly felt like everything had fallen out for many, many months. Never got it checked out, but now I wonder if I had something similar?

ETA: Is it something that can correct itself? If not, then I didn't have it. Maybe just my pelvic floor was stuffed for a while.

[Freya]

It can correct itself Anna, esp with rest and staying off your feet. Its like the vaginal wall swells and there is nowhere for it to go but out. That said Ive been examined 3x before this pregnancy and not once did either Dr say anything about a prolapse but I noticed this dangly bit for awhile before this all happened. Hmmm funny you mentioned what you did, I was thinking that this may have been caused by the middies telling me I wasnt ready to push yet when I was more than ready, making me wait that extra 20 min might have put too much strain on my muscles.

Either way whats done is done and hopefully it will be easy to correct and wont affect my labour/delivery.

[maz]

Sorry but im having visions of you wlaking around with a builders prod to hold everything up AnnaT. I hope it all goes back to 'normal' for you.
Anna - cover on its way honey
RIkki - I wish I could give you the biggest hug matie. Ainsleigh being sick has nothing to do with your skills as a mother. You get on here and let rip, thats what we're all here for - for better or worse..heheh sounds like a marriage.
Annie - got your text and im gonn acall you when ive got osme free time. Mauw honey
Nelle - I am so into that show atm....I can do those moves...yeah in my sleep.
BBL have to check amigo's

[lilima]

Maz- are they all better at your house now?

AnnaT - hope is all goes alright for you while you are by yourself.

Rikki - as Anna** said, maybe the warmer weather will help Ainsleigh.

Helen - hoping all goes back to normal for you asap.

Not much to say from here. James had a 2 hours sleep this morning. THat is HUGE for him!!!

[*Belle*]

hi girls how ru all? DH is home today due to APEC which is a good breather for me...im trying to relax as im quite anxious at the moment.

Helen - just want to say thinking of you hon, I bleed for 40 days when I m/c with my first - i didnt want to have d/c. When it stopped I had the ultrasound to check if anything was retained. First time was but was so small they decided not to do d/c. Hope the ultrasound goes well hon.

Anna - thanks for the email hon its great, forwarded onto mum as shes making the cake!

Girls, any ideas for finger food for first b'day parties? since im not overly well im only having 10 guests cannot handle any more and we will just have finger foods for toddlers and adults... so far got:

Thanks girls..

[Anna**]

How about cubed bits of mixed melon on a platter? or other fruit? even cherry tomatoes?
Cheese, Ham and Crackers?

[maz]

Meg - if james has a big sleep through the day does he sleep all night still? WE're finding that Vy is a pain either way. She can sleep anywere between 2 to 3 hours through the day in one go and still wakes up at night, even if its only an hour she still wakes up...grrrrr. I bet you didnt know what to do with yourself either for those 2 hours hehehehe
Bel - Kabana!!!! carrot sticks, pretzels, strawberries..im coming!!!!!
Anna - thanks mate! now im hundgry for some watermelon lol
Just on a stupid water authority note...we have been on stage 4 water restrictions here for ages and today the water board has decided to put it back down to level 2...what the??? right near summer and all. Stupid if you ask me cause Lake Eilden is only at 20% capacity. I'll still be a tight @rse with my watering.
Does someone want some itchy nipples...their going for free

[ShootingStar]

OK now to catch up!

Anna.. what a great big post! Thank you. Yeh i like bright colours.I always liked drawing as a kid, i get it from my dad, he's awesome. But yeh i had fun.

Rikki.. thank you. Oh sorry to hear about your cousin. Yeh a holiday to get away would be a nice idea, clear her head etc.

Helen.. im sorry too, i hope youre feeling better soon.

Belle.. something my sister does for all her kids parties, which i think is great, is she gets party frankfurts and those little dinner rolls you bake in the over and makes mini hotdogs. Easy to make and everyone loves them.

Jesse's mum's group party was fun today. Have taken some piccies so will get them up soon.

[*Belle*]

ooooh!!! thanks Maz, Anna and Kell they all sound really good!

Rikki - honey so sorry to hear that Ains is still sick...thinking of both ofyou.

[Vixstar]

Hey there,

Forgot it was Friday today. Sily Apex public hol made me think it was Saturday with Rick being home.
Anyways, my boys are at Bunnings so I thought I would catch up...

Shell - 6 weeks preggas today. I will update my ticker but after my baby boy is 1 year old.

Maz - Hows Miss Vy today??? Yucky spew!!!! Love your ticker.

Nessa - yes the baby is important but you are too coz you're the Mummy and you are Nessa. It is hard to seperate the two but just try to each day do something that is 'normal' for you. Like before you became 'The Mummy' did you like to go for walks by yourself or watch an old movie or just sit and watch the clouds drift by etc? When I was dealing with my PND, I tried to do something each day for me/Vicky not 'The Mummy'. I usually took the furkid for a walk because that was something I used to do when it was just Rick and I. Remember - there is ALWAYS light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there matey. xx

Belle - hope you are getting back on track! xx

Helen - don't you love the way they say a 'complete m/c'. I nealry punched the doc in the head when he said to me at my ultrasound that it was 'complete'. He made it sound like it was an acheivement or somehting. Hope all goes well...you hang in there too! xx

Too evryone else - hope you have a great weekend and that you don't have too many sleepless nights / yucky nappies / up-chucks down bras re: Maz / teethy problems.

Kiddies - BE GOOD!!!!!

See ya's Monday. xxx

[maz]

OH Kell - im gonna have to steal the little boy and small roll idea..thats fantastic. Cant wait to see the pics either, Jesse is such a photogenic little man
Bel - lalalallalalalalalaa
Vixstar - Vy's getting better and actually having a second sleep (OMG) oh and the complete miscarridge..I got complete abortion I must have looked like I was slapped across the face cause the doc went red. I know its their job but $hit tack factor would be nice.
Going to buy some chineese for tea...singapore noodle for me with lemon sauce over them

[Anna**]

Maz - I got 'incomplete abortion' on my visit prior to my D&C. Nice huh? I know that is the proper medical term... but still!
