[Anna**]

Nelle - Naughty Riv! X doesn't chew either, but luckily we've not had any choking episodes with him so far (tho I'm qualified in first aid JIC). A while back you said that you thought Riv had weaned... how's that all going? Has he given up the booby or you still hanging in there?

Speaking of which, any of you girls still breastfeeding? Huge congrats to those that have stuck it out this long!!!

Rikki - I'm really looking forward to catching up with you in a couple of weeks for a really good chat & update. Again, sorry to hear of the crappy time you are having... please though, you do have my number, so if you ever need to chat or need someone to mind Ains, just pick up the phone ok?

AnnaT - Now... what does young Jett think of the purdy pink sheets? Just stirring hon. The big boy bed looks fab and it's great that he stays in it during the night. I can't believe our little bubs are getting to that age already!

Helen - I made Scott look at the test in case I was seeing things, he saw the line but didn't seem overly impressed by how faint it was Hopefully it gets darker in a few days.

Meg - I really like common names myself.. well, actually I like 'timeless' names, especially with boys. Pooey to your rude friend, wasn't a very nice thing to say so I can see what you are a bit hurt. In WA our gas supply company is Alinta!

Chrissy - What does an evap line on these tests look like? Are they known for them? The line is still there on my test *just* now and i tested this morning.

Bel & Maz - Thanks for the phone calls today!!!

[Cougar]

:hugs: kara..i really dont know how you do it.

anna..a avap line is usually not as thick as the control line, and has no colour, YOUR LINE has colour, there was a lady in ttc threads that got a bfp the same time as me and using the tests you are, and her first test looked the same as yours...it just kept getting darker.

hi everyone.....very busy 6 kids one baby and feeling linke a peice of dog s**t.

[Visitor7]

Rikki. You're doing such a great job with Ainsleigh. That's great news she's seeing a specialist this week. I hope all goes well.

:hugs: chrissy - 6 kids! That's gotta be tough. I don't know how you do it. How is the m/s treating you?

Congrats on still b/f sharleen! That's a wonderful achievment.

nelle - wow! That would have scared the pants off me. Nina chews, but prefers to put as much food in her mouth as she possibly can. And if a piece does get stuck, then she'll keep putting food in her mouth until it's all gone down

annat - Jetts bed is so cute. Especially with the army theme! Just like his daddy!!

[ShootingStar]

Nelle.. oh dear how freaky. Jesse gets lazy too sometimes and doesnt chew. Glad hes ok. I too cant wait until he gets molers!

Caddie.. hope youre not getting sick with your throat.

Rikki.. totally understand. Hope everything is good with you at the end of the day.

Chrissy.. hope theyre good for ya!

Im soooo tired.. whats new.. Have a good day all..

[Freya]

Haha no offence taken Anna! The pink is actually a bedskirt for the base of the ensemble, unfortunately I havent actually bought any boyish sheets etc for his bed yet, we're making do with what we've got. I think it looks rather liberal if I do say so myself (there are purple sheets under the doona) hehehe

Hope all those who are sick feel better soon (I know I'll be glad to see summer come, Im sick of runny noses and coughs).

Nelle, OMG that is so scary. Jett forgets to chew sometimes (because he shoves whole bits of things into his mouth) so I watch him like a hawk. Mostly he just spews it back up into his mouth and rechews, yeah I know charming isnt he

Jodi, haha Ry loved the quilt when I showed it to him the other night. He didnt know Id bought it for Jett. Now he's looking for army themed stuff to kit out J's room with. Ive been thinking of finding a khakhi parachute at a Disposal store to hang on the roof.

I am just so tired all the time now. I could sleep all day and still feel like Ive been up 3 days straight. I'll be so glad to have Ripley and go back to feeling my normal self. 13 weeks to go and I'll have my wish its going by so fast dont you think Maz???

Anywho should go and do something useful like cleaning. BBL.

[lilima]

Hi all,
Nelle - how scary! Just goes to prove that you can't leave little ones by themselves when eating. It could happen to any of our bubs!

Anna - still breatfeeding here. First thing in the morning and last at night.

Ohh.. James is having a tanty. BBL

[maz]

Meg - tell your firend to take arunning jump!!!! I had a midwifes appointment and she pulledc the pi$$ out of my kids names!!!! I put in a report about her at the hospital inthe end. It really hurts when people judge you about the name syou want for your kids. Ignore them honey
Kara - im sending you big hugs honey...I hope that life starts sorting its self out one way or another so you can start to get a clearer head. Give that little angle of yours a kiss from Vy please
Anna - TOLD YOU hehehehehehheeh pregga woman!!!!
Nelle - holly cow woman. I would absolutely freak if Vy chocked. We still have only got 3 teeth so molars are a lONG way off for us.
AnnaT - Yep I totally agree, this pg is going so fast, I feel like i cant catch my breath some days. IM starting to get braxtons harder to (bit scarey with my early labour $hit) and had a massive feeling of 'bubbles' in my ready girls - chicken tonights hehehheeh havenmt said that for ages!!!!!!
chrissy - ive just ordered some more of that green dot minkee and red...takes amonth to get here. im so glad you like the NB cover I have to make some more for me now.
Kell - we had roast pork to...hmmmmm great minds think alike
Hello everyone else...to tired to think now pmsl
BBL

[Anna**]

Arrrggghhhhh f(@* ! Tested this morning and got a BFN, so really worried it may have been an evap line. Wonder what is going on? With my stoopid chromosome thing, I'm likely to have lots of chem pregnancies, but who know.

Huge congrats to Meg & Sharleen for still BF'ing! Great going! How long are you guys planning on going... to the WHO recommended 2 years or ?

[*Belle*]

morning girls, have to go out but just came on to say - Anna - please go out and buy another brand test to put your mind at ease that test different levels of hcg. Discover one step tests on 10ml of HCG...whats the level on the lullaby test?

[Anna**]

20miu Belle... I thought that is pretty good?

[Freya]

I got some lovely dark BFPs on Confirm tests from 10dpo Anna even though the 'test 5 days before AF' HPTs were giving me super faint lines. Sometimes the dye is just not strong in certain tests. Are you 110% sure the test you did this morning is a negative?

I feel like crap. Jett's still sick with a runny nose and nothing I do fixes it. I have a headache and Im tired but I cant nap because I have to put dinner on, fold washing, tidy up and try and fix our finances so we dont get any broker than we already are. Doesnt help the weather is yukky either. What I wouldnt give for some 30deg sunny weather.

[Cougar]

i used confirm at 9dpo and not fmu, and got a dark line, my lc were 10miu but only faint at 8-9dpo, the confirm brand was so much darker

[lilima]

Hi AnnaT- sometimes you just have to let a few things give. The laundry can be folded another day. Maybe get some take out for dinner? You need a well deserved rest.

Rikki - Hugs your way. Have a great time at the show.

Anna - you can get false negatives, but a positive is usually a positive. Give it a little time. (easier said that done I know!!)

Maz - that is horrible that the midwife commented on your children's names. I would put a report in too. Your children have lovely names. In fact I would possibly consider Violette for a girl. I would just have different spelling to you.

Kell - Hope you get a rest today too. I am ALWAYS tired. I probably will be till James is in high school!!!

Chrissy - must be busy in your house today!

Jodi - feeling any better?

Lauren - How is Rylee going with her sleeps?

Shell - have you ever watched "engaged and under aged" on foxtel? I am going to take a look at it tomorrow. I love reality tv!!!

Nelle - hows your preg going? Got any interesting cravings?

Sharleen - I most likely will continue to feed for the moment. I think I have more of the issue of weaning than James!!

Ness, Belle, Rach, Caddie, Vix, and everyone else. Hi!!!

Has anyone else had any luck with their bubs spoon feeding themselves? I have to help James get the food onto the spoon, then he will feed himself. He has a gist of it. I suppose it will get better with practise. Also he is using his left hand. I am a left hander, and I had hoped that James would be a righty. Everything is designed for right handers!

[shellbell3]

Morn all.
We are still breastfeeding mostly. When I'm at work she gets a bottle and when we are out she gets a bottle cause she will not BF when there are distractions.

Nelle- That is so scary with the choking, typical boy though wanting to scoff his face!

Meg- I love all those reality type shows on MTV and VH1, so addictive.

Anna- As the other girls have said maybe try a different brand test, one that shows up earlier? Fingers crossed for you this is the worst part just not knowing whether it is or isn't.

Rikki- Big hugs, hope you sort out everything that is going on in your life and with little Ainsleigh, hopefully these appt's will give you some answers and ways to prevent further problems.

okay gotta get off, have an unhappy child here. How long do molars take to get thru? Her gum has been swollen and sore for like a week or more now.

[maz]

Here I am sitting on here again when I should be getting busy!!!!
Dame you anna - now i want to repaint and tile my kitchen!!!!!!! heheheh im not going to say anymore on the tests...the girls in here know so much more then me. Ive jsut got my fingers and flaps crossed for you!
Meg - VY feeds herself with a fork but might try a spoon now. SHe also 'tries' to comb her hair..not easy for a girls with gurls.
AnnaT - when you heading down this way again????? When do we hit the third trimester?? 26 weeks?
My sinus's are infected again..grrrr sick of feleing it dripping down my throat (sorry TMI)
Now thats it im going ot go sewing!!!

[Freya]

I was thinking of taking a trip to Shepp when J and I are over these colds, we should meet up for lunch or coffee or something! Is there a kids festival thing on over there atm? Cant remember if it was at Shepp or not but I saw it advertised on TV the other night. Um as far as I know Tri 3 starts at the end of week 26, so the day you turn 27wks (1st tri is 13wks, 2nd tri is 14wks, 3rd tri is 13wks = 40wks all up). So you have 2 weeks and I have 2.5. Holy fricken moly

So Ive done 2 lots of washing, dinner is on and J is having yet another nap in bed (must be a combination of the yuk weather, being sick and teething thats making him sleep like this). I need to run into town but I dont know if I can be bothered - we need toilet paper though

[maz]

Yep - there's a lid's festival on at Kids town and no way am I gonig..its always packed and Wilhelm woul dfreak out totally. Ther eis an indoor playcentre called giggle kids thats good for littlies. We should meet there. OMG i jsut htink the same as you..its gone way to quick and im sick of my undies digging in and giving me that double gut look!
Right going now hehehe

[Visitor7]

annat - I can provide the 30 degree weather, all you have to do is come up my way

shell - Nina's molars come through in about a week. But I suppose everyone is different.

Meg - Nina can feed herself with a spoon or folk. The other day all she had in her hand was a peg, so she used that to spoon her food onto and fed herself!

Nina's in bed, and I'm going back to the lounge to watch a movie which looks pretty interesting.
