Vix... oh lucky boy Bailey! Glad he had a good little birthday day out.

Laurin.. going to look at the photos now.

Jesse is getting better. Was looking like a zombie around the eyes yesterday (all red and dark) but looks alot better today. Antibiotic and eye drops seem to be helping alot. Hes a lot happier.
Now off to see these photos!

Hi all,

Just got back from the GP. James still has tonsillitis, so back on the antibiotics. james' is banana flavour. He loves it.

[lilima]

Kell - we posted at hte same time.
Glad Jesse is on the mend.

Hey - has anyone else become addicted to facebook???

[~Flossie~]

hi all, after working full time for 2 weeks my little man is sick.. so im having my 1st sick/careers day... he has conjunctivitus, no doubt from child care! anyway, taking the opportunity of being at home to get some things done..

hope all are well


AnnaT - scary.. hope that you can get the rest you need..

hugs to everyone.. miss you all heaps..

[maz]

Holly cr@p AnnaT - you tell that body of yours to stop it!!!!! How scarey..I hope your feeling a bit better today.

WOOO HOO anna for starting clomid *happy dance*

Chrissy - hmmm did you manage to find some DTD time in your ovualation phase??? hehehehhe

Hello eveyrone else.....have to do some house work before Vy gets up. Had a MCN visit today..my little girl only weighs 9.6kg and is 78cm tall. I thoughts she'd weigh more but being sick of late probably hasnt helped.

Oh Im putting up a link to that newspaper story of Jed and VY (mod's I hope this is alright) if anyone is interested.

Oh Maz that is just gorgeous! You must be so proud!

Annie.. oh i hope the little guy is ok.. hope you can get some things done around the house too, or put your feet up for 10 minutes!

Meg.. oh good, well i hope the anti-biotics help james. Its great they make them nice flavours, makes it so much easier doesnt it. Im about to go and have a go on facebook now.. first ill do the stats.. ive saved them on my computer.

[shellbell3]

AnnaT- Big Hugs! You poor thing, make sure you rest up and get Ry to wait on you hand and foot! How scary it must've been.

Hope all these sick bubs get better soon. Ash has slap cheek, well she is at the end of it, she had rash on her cheeks and tummy on sun and yest so Dr thinks the red vagina all related and that prolly explains why she's been bit off in last week.

We move in a weeks time and getting stressed! Still organising packing and making sure we have all our finances together, we getting bit grrrr at each other cause we feel stressed too much!

beautiful article Maz and look at that gorgeous girl

quick fly by but was wondering would anyone mind if in the stats we put TTC #3 for us, as officially Jack is our 2nd child just our first to come home with us I feel bad when I leave Katy off things

man I have a shocking headache today also pleasefor the little fella I babysit I was supposed to have him today but a call at 7.30am he was in hospital on a nebuliser machine poor little man

[maz]

Kelly - I love the stats that you put up. Atelast we know how everyone is (your a clever chicken)
So whos next up the duff??????
Helen - if your lurking honey - I need to know what size cover to make for Eithan...im making a little pressy for him
OMG Shell only aweek.....You wont have to move for years then.

[Anna**]

Wow - you girls are soooo chatty!

Kell - Glad to hear that your little man is on the mend. Xanders' antibiotics were an apricot flavour.. yummo!

Meg - Is this James' second lot of abs? Poor little mite. Hope this time they clear things up.

Maz - I've got my hand up to be next UTD! (if ok with the rest of you girls?) I've got everything crossed 'cept my legs that this month is our month. I start the Clomid tonight - I always take it at night so the side effects mostly hit me in my sleep. How's the sickies at your place? Vy is a skinny little thing isn't she!? She weighs about 100grams less than Xander, but is 3cm taller!

AnnaT - Bloody hell woman. Take it easy ok hon? Sorry to hear what you've been through in the last few days.

Shell - So it wasn't thrush then? Poor little Ash... I think Slap Cheek is closely related to the Roseola that Xander had a while back (there are a few virus' in the group - parvo?)

Annie - Gotta love daycare for the lovely extras they bring home. Hope he bounces back quickly.

ETA: Love the article for Vy!

[lilima]

Fingers crossed for you too Anna,
Yes second lot of Ab's here.

Shell - at least you now know what it is.

Kell - it is so good that you keep our stats up to date.

Just a question - How many bubs are now having 1 sleep a day. Also how long are they sleeping for?
James is really only doing 1 sleep a day for about 1hr 20 mins. He is also going to bed around 7pm and getting up at 6am. Just interested to know where everyone else is at, as they change so quickly.

[caddie]

Maz great article!!! And lovely pics you going to get them from the paper and scrap them!!
Rach of course katy cant be left out.She was your first and will always hold special memories for you both.
MMM cant wait to find out whos next in the preggars state!

[Nelle]

Sharle, why are you feeling sorry for yourself? Did I miss something?

Cute article Mazzie.

I had more to say, but someone has just crawled up with rusk all over himself, but that's not the worst part...the worst part is the foul stench flowing from him...I think I'm going to have to spray a lot of eucalyptus to try and mask the smell even before I open this little present...

[ShootingStar]

Shell.. oh poor ash.. though i think slapped cheak is better than having thrush. My nephew had it a few weeks ago and is fine now. Seems to be going around.

Anna**.. yummo, i think its great they make their medicine taste nice, makes it so much easier for both them and us.

Rach.. done honey. Im sorry i didnt do it earlier. Oh i hope that little guy gets better soon.

Meg.. Jesse changes all the time. The past few days hes been having 2 sleeps but i think thats cos hes sick. Some weeks he'll only have 1. They can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Morning sleep is around 10.30am until around 12ish, afternoon sleep i put him down around 3-3.30pm.. if hes not asleep by say 4.30-5pm then i get him up as he has dinner at 5.30pm, then bath and in bed around 7-7.30pm and wakes up around 7am. Generally i have always just gone on Jesse's tired signs.. seems to work for him.

Nessa.. thanks hun.. not long to the scan woo!

[Rach75]

thanks girls I wasn't sure if I should ask as some people get offended or shocked etc not to worry I am ok thanks for chagning it Kelly

I think the fact her 4th bday is fast approaching makes it hard again, this time of the year sucks for us, and then at the same time last year made it a happy time for us IYKWIM

[lilima]

Rach no one should be offended or shocked. I especially couldn't imagine anyone in this grp feeling that way. I can understand that it would be hard every time her birthday comes around.

Kell- I was meaning to tell you if james is upset or unwell, Elmo seems to really calm him down
