:happybirthday: Happy 5th Birthday Bella :happybirthday:

Happy Birthday Belle's Mum!! Hope you have a great day with her today Belle.

Well we've only just woken up, so better get some brekkie organised for us. bbl

Maz - Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala - tell me I will get through it Lalalalalalala

Jodi - thanks mate! hope you have a good day too!

Happy birthday Bella. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Sharleen - good luck for hubby.

Beautiful sunny day here so might take James and the doggie for a walk before sleep time.

girls, thank you so much for all your words of support. it means so much that you all care (and we all care so much for each other). xxx

Happy birthday Isabella (you grown up girl!!), Tim and Belle's mum.
You'll be fine Belle, deep breaths and think of the strategies you've learnt in your group. hug
sharleen - we'll be thinking of you and hubby... hope you get the results straight away xx
OMG my brain is dead! ummm... good luck with BF Maz. I too had zero milk and really felt like a failure when I could not BF for more than three weeks. I tried fenugreek and mega doses of motillium but after three weeks i got mastitis and that was it for us. do you have boobie symptoms in pg? i had none, no sore boobies, no growing in size and def never had that sensation of milk coming in after she was born. oh well, i'll still try my darndest next time, but may also enlist the help of the ABA.
Well we had a trip to emergency doctor yesterday afternoon... three hour wait but luckily we live close so they told us to go home and wait. Ains would just cling to me all day, no crawling and even went and put herself to sleep on her flip out sofa poor love. Turns out she has all the usuals, sore throat, ear infection and bronchiolitis... her little lymph nodes in her armpits were so swollen they were like jellybeans, and everytime I picked her up she cried they hurt so much. I took her to the dr on thurs night, and he said she was fine so poor thing just went downhill fast :(
how are all our pg mumma's... annat, mazzie, jodes, vix, nessa, chrissy??
any news anna**?
how's the new house shell?
ok, mammoth post from me .... because woo hoo ainsleigh is still asleep! slept thru the night for the first time in weeks which is such a relief.... means she must be feeling better or at least her body is fighting her germies. better go and do some stuff as sam comes home today (another big woo hoo!)

Bloody hell Rikki - Hope Ains is ok now. She really isn't a well little chooken is she? Is she on AB's?

Happy Birthday to Bella and everyone whoms' family also have birthdays' today.

No good news from me. My temps dropped this morning and got a :bfn: so I guess I'm out this month. Must've been a chem pregnancy or an evap line. Will find out as waiting on BT results. Stoopid chomosomes of mine!

sorry to hear that anna xxx

yes she's on AB, and glad i did go yesterday as she has bright yellow boogies today.... nice (especially when she wipes them on my shirt!!!!)

You poor thing Rikki. And of course Ainsleigh. I hope she's on the mend now after having a nice long sleep last night.

What a bummer Anna. When will you get the bt results?

Good luck Sharleen!

I get the results late this arvo Jodi.

Gotta love the boogers hey Rikki! Argghhh. Xander always has them lately and yep, he loves to wipe them on me too. Yucko!

Sorry to hear that Anna :(

I hope Ains feels better soon Rikki! I hear you on the boogers, its so gross (and I must admit I am sick of wiping snot away before it drips into Jetts mouth).


Im bored. I should be folding washing. Jett is asleep already, even though he slept through from 8pm-7:30am then had a bottle and went back to sleep til 9am! He just loves his bed.

Crap Rikki - I wish I lived over your way to lighten the load and let you have a rest. Hugs x a million
Anna - double crap!!!! no comment!!
Happy birthday Bell honey - you have an extra special day.
Happy birthday Timothy - have great BBq matie
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your advice about BFing. I have the worst itchy nipples ever atm and osmeone is practising braxton hicks (already!!!!) had a heap of bubbles again in my woo hoo....she'd want ot stay putt!
BBL have to put some things on ebay

Happy birthday Isabella,tim and belle's mum! Hope you all have a wonderful day.
Sorry anna.Hope the BT's say something different but if not thinking of you.
Rikki,My goodness.I cant believe how sick poor ains has been.You must be at the end of your tether.You must have an iron will!! Or be the best mum in the world.which we all think you are.
Belle,just remember the techniques.Or keep popping on here for support.Or ring someone!!

Morning all.
I am feeling so crappy with this cold, hardly slept last night cause I was aching all over and getting hot and cold. Took some cold and flu tablets this morn so feeling little better.

Happy birthday to Bella and Tim and Belles mum, wow its a popular day to be born!

Rikki- Big hugs, poor Ains and you, it must be so exhausting her being sick so often.

Sharleen- Hope Hubbys test comes back ok.

Anna- that sucks. Fingers crossed the BT say something positive.

Hi to the rest of you lovely ladies.

:happybirthday: HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY TIMOTHY JACK.

BELLA & BELLES MUM.

got everyone here for a bbq for tims birthday:)

Hi everybodeeeeee,

I'm back on board having survived our camping trip with Bailey. Rick and I just need a break now!

Happy Birthday to those I missed over the weekend....

I think I forgot to tell you last week we saw the CHN and bailey is now 11.85kg and 75cm long/tall.

MS taken care of we a prescription form the GP! I breeze through the days now. LOL.

Will catch up soon....xxx

Happy 11th Birthday Timothy! Have a great BBQ.

Great to see you back Vixstar! Wonderful news m/s is under control.

Took Nina to a new playgroup thingy this morning, it's like Gymbaroo. She had an absolute ball! We came home and both slept 2.5 hours!!

hi ladies sorry i have been mia been really busy lately.

i must be getting the nesting instinct already cause i been flat out cleaning the house and settling things i wouldnt normally do. i really need to take it easy me thinks. yesterday we picked up our rocking chair glider.its black leather and has a matching ottoman that rocks aswell. as soon as we got it home i went to work putting it together. i cant seem to sit still lately. lol

savanna is doing really well and is such a big girl now. i stopped wrapping her. as some of you may know i was terrified to stop as i thought she wouldnt sleep. i guess its all to do with timing. she now sleeps in her grow bag and sleeps even better than she did before. 12 - 13 hours straight a night. she was starting to turn onto her tummy whilst wrapped which terrified me so i knew it was time to stop wrapping.

i need to sell my 3 wheeler pram asap ( its the bravo swallow in metallic silver) as i am picking up my phil and teds sports pram this week. no use in having two prams. any advice on selling with ebay??

maz - good luck with the breast feeding. i wasnt able to breast feed savanna. i tried for atleast 4 weeks but never had enough milk. im hoping to try this time around but very nervous. a midwife told me to start breast massage and nipple stimulation about a month before bubs is due. hopefully it will help :) i have also been getting braxton hicks for the last couple weeks already. :)



hello to everyone and i hope all the bubbies are doing well.

luv ambz

:happybirthday: Happy Birthday Isabella, Timothy and Belle's mum! :happybirthday:


Anna**.. oh sorry hun.. hopefully the BT will give you some explanations.

Jodi.. glad Nina had a great day! I know what its like after an exausting day you just wanna crash!

Maz.. start workin those nipples woman!

Not much else from me.. sooo hot! Has anyone elses been plagued by those horrible bogan moths? I just went out the back door and literally 20 of them flew from out of the screen door jar! One came inside and i freaked!!! DH isnt home yet to get it out but luckily it flew back out. I havent seen that many in ages!

im gonna have to start tweaking pmsl...they are so dame itchy and its driving me nuts!!!!!!!!
Ahh I HATE MOTHS!!!!!! thank Kell have major goosebumps
Bel - i got that cover...hehehehehheh

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
BELLES MUM
ISABELLA
TIMOTHY

WISHING YOU ALL WONDERFUL BIRTHDAYS!!!:dance:

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes. Have had a flat out day. One of the presents we brought Bella doesnt work, so I have to do a huge hunt and see if I can find the receipt. Brought it at the toy sales, so wish me luck.

Sharleen-I hope everything is ok.

Anna-That's hard news to take. I hope the BT gives you some clarity.

Jodi-House plans are going slowly, thanks for asking. Still waiting on more quotes etc.

Maz-Dont go tweaking too soon as it can bring on labour. I used fenugreek and goats rue drops when BF Eithan. Also drink, drink, drink and then drink some more. Acktivite like Anna said is great. When is hospital I fed and expressed. When at home I always had trouble with my supply so I used to feed him 3-4 sides. Left, right, left and then next feed, right,left,right. Also it's hard but keeping the little bub awake and feeding properly is important. We used to half strip Eithan so he wasnt so warm and keep rubbing his little palm as we were told in hospital by the midwife that it helped them to remind them to suck. Plus a little tickle under the chin etc. Hope that helps.

Well I am so knackered, better go.

Love

Just a quick good morning.. have a great day all.. and to those in NSW (and possibly the rest of the country).. stay cool today, its gonna be a scorcher!!

we have fires all around us on the peninsula........arshole kids lit them burnt out a house....been on the news, all the bastard kids around here, they torhed the local footy shed 18months ago, then the locals all pitched in to build another one, it was open 5 days, and they burnt it, only 3 weeks ago, everyweek there is at least 3 cars that get stolen and torhed (OURS)....then they lit the bushfires that have been on the news, one persons house down the road is totally burnt, along with numerous other things...they had the hide yesterday to start another one when there is so many cops and firefighters around????
they need there BALLS removed that way they can be reminded about there stupidity for the rest of there lives

Morning ladies,

Kell- no sea breezes for us today!:doh: OMG, is that how you spell breezes???? Preggo brain again! Ya can keep ya moths too lady...eeekkkk!

Maz - Very true about everything Helen said. We used to strip bails down too, rick would shake (gently) his arms and legs and rub him along side/under his jaw line to keep him awake and talk to him continually. It was partly due to my c-section and the drugs making him sleepy too. Yep, go easy on the nipple stimulation!!!! Dont want labour starting just yet! Good luck with breastfeeding, every day you breastfeed is a massive accomplishment.:) Maybe check out the ABA website for more hints etc

ambz - Hope you sell your 3 wheeler. I tried to sell a jogger on ebay for over a month and did not even get one bite. It was brand new too. I started off at $100 and went as low as $50.00. Maybe try your local papers, trading post, community notice board (some shopping centres have them), playgroups etc Let us know how you go!
oooh, nesting! I love nesting. I have been doing it since I was about 8 yrs old!!! Although it had taken a back seat for a while but seems to be slowly coming back. I used to do crazy things like clean out the washing machine, the kettle, wash the dogs bedding etc. Nothing normal like vacuuming!

Wow, bit of a post there. Have a good day and stay cool!
xxx

Chrissy - What idiots. I hope their house burns down the lttle mongrels. You stay safe though. Hows your little bubs coming along?

Helen - hope you find that receipt. If you're anything like me, it's probably in the bin! Things must be very hectic with arranging quotes for the house. My parents have just this week finished building theirs! Now all they need is their furniture bought up from Bundy so they can move in!!

sharleen - how'd it go yesterday?

anna - did you get your bt results back?

annat - how's Jett liking his big boy bed?

chrissy - those little bastards!!!! I hope they get a good punishment when caught.

Just dropped Nina at daycare. Their talking about moving her up to pre-kindy, which is very exciting!!
Well I've bought a new vacuum cleaner, so gonna go and clean!

Jodi - Thanks for thinking of me. Yes, I did get my BT back... having a very early m/c, my AF showed up today. I'm ok about it as I know the 'why' of it all.

I'm still getting chest pains, but I'm starting the think it is anxiety related. Sorry if I'm a bit quiet/lurker around here; just feeling a little withdrawn atm.

xx

Sorry anna. hope next month brings brighter things for you. Can you get away on your bike for a ride and breathing space so to speak?

anna..thinking of you hun, :hugs:

OH Anna honey - I know that this is gonna sound harsh...but better now then later knowing your medical background and condition. I wish I could still give you the biggest hug though.

Just a quick pop in -

Anna, Im sorry to hear that. I sending you big hugs, I understand how you feel :( If you dont mind my asking, what is the chromosomal abnormality that you have that causes this? Ive had a few early m/c and it ended up being a corpus luteum deficiency, maybe you have something like that too?

Jodi, Jett is loving his big boy bed but for some reason he's decided 7:30am is a great time to get up now. Usually I can get him back to sleep but mostly I just give him a sippy of milk and have a shower. He plays with his toys while Im in there and then he gets out and has a shower. Its making me knackered though, Im used to sleeping til 9am. I think he does it just so he can have 2 naps in his bed during the day lol He just cant get enough. It still feels weird to see him all snuggled like a big person under his quilt and blankie.

Having a really bad day with the SPD, so much so Im considering begging to be induced at 37wks if Im favourable. Im so miserable, it hurts to do anything from my hips right down into my vajayjay. Im also itching worse than normal, Ive torn skin off my tummy, legs and back Ive scratched so much. Might get the GP to test for that OB Cholestasis thingy because it would explain the protein in my urine but no high BP and the sharp pains I get under my ribs.

Oh Nessa honey I am sorry that I didnt send Annika a card. Please forgive me

AnnaT - Ive got visions of Jett snug as a bug. I love it when they get into their beds....its then you realise that their not a baby any more :( $hit I have to have the glucose test still

Ness,my apologies too.I started to send out one card for each baby but when ruby's bday came and i only got a card from you and kell i thought whats the point and decided to just post a happybday.
So sorry for not thinking of you and kell. And no offence to annie because it did arrive but when my kk didnt come for over a week i was dissapointed because i was prepared with mine.
So all off my chest too and im glad you spoke up.I am really apologetic especially when you have helped me personally about millana's rash.
ps: i actually just remembered that i had un sent cards in my old nappy bag too. Oh well.

Anna-Huge hugs hun hopefully things will settle down soon for you. Take car, ok..

Nessa-Ummmm dont know what to say really. I was extremely greatful that you chose to send Eithan a card for his birthday, this goes for Caddie too. But the thing is, I thanked you both and I can understand that you are just getting things off your chest but I wouldnt have thought that they were sent just to receive a card back, I thought it was just because you wanted to. Gosh I dont want to make a mountain out of a mole hill but I am a little upset that you are upset and I wish we could talk about it face to face as writing words down dont have the same affect. So please let me let you both know that this is by no means an unhappy post so please dont be offended by it. Really I couldnt afford to send cards to everyone, so I sent them to noone. Again, I was extremely touched and greatful that you would both think of my little man.

Love

Thanks for the thoughts girls - I'm fine with it all, it's other **** getting me down right now.

Chrissy - Hope you are safe from that fire. Bloody arsonists!

AnnaT - I've got a balance translocation of chromosome 1 & 4. It was discovered during a karyotype blood test. I've got no other probs in regards to staying pregs, but any pregnancy with a chromosome imbalance will m/c. In honesty, I would not wish to be induced at 37 weeks, even with SPD - 37 weeks is almost prem... and could easily result in bub having a minor developmental delay (like Xander). Hang in there!

Nessa - I really appreciated the card you sent (and I did thank you). Whilst I can understand where you are coming from after all the effort you put into the cards... I I've always been one to give without expecting in return and I honestly thought the whole reason we were doing the KK thing was to avoid having to send out cards etc to everyone. Those that felt like sending out extras cards, pressies whatever did so. Not trying to be harsh or rude 'cos I really did appreciate the card - but I am the same at Xmas too, I don't rush out to buy a card if I receive one from someone as too me it just seems like you 'forgot' and only doing so 'cos they sent one. Mwah.

Anna - I think I would have buckleys of being induced before 38wks anyway as my OB only promised me that *if* I was favourable (which we know I will be) because J was born at 38wks with no issues. Just seems like so far away (deep down I know it isnt really, 13wks goes by fast!) and I struggle to think how I will manage with the SPD, swelling, even bigger tummy and a toddler to chase in another 6 or 7 weeks time. Im already huuuuuuuuuuuge. Ry doesnt even have holidays til 19th December so I'll only get a week or so rest and then its baby time. I guess I just feel a bit guilty on Jetts behalf. And I know the SPD wont fix itself until Ripley is born so until then I'll have to suck it up. I never went through this with Jett, I was very active up until the day he was born so Im struggling with having to avoid anything to strenuous.

Nessa - I appreciate the card you sent and I am sure I thanked you in this thread. I have to agree with Anna though, I didnt realise it was a "if you receive, reply in kind" type of card - I usually just send because I want to. I thought about it but Sept is a busy birthday month for us and we are strapped for cash so I decided not to. So we did the KK instead. Im sorry you are offended.

Sorry Im a bit whingy baby lately. I just feel so yuk all the time, I try not to post about it constantly because heck I get sick of hearing me sook :cryinglaugh: New belly pics in the gallery if anyone is interested (and a comparison of me now with Jett at 37wks, Im the same size :wall: )

Pregnancy hormones Ness!

Rans is reinstalling The Sims 2 on his computer for me...if you don't hear from me...hahaha...:p Nah, I won't get too addicted.

Anna, all the best for a bfp really soon honey.

I sent you a card Ness! :p And, technically, it does say with love from the other BB babies too. That's cheeky isn't it. I can understand why you were feeling the way you were, but people have different values you know? Some people are 'card' people, or letter writers, or phone call returners, or present buyers, and others aren't. It can get frustrating, one of my friends NEVER returns text messages, another never returns emails, another always forgets my birthday AND I just found out my best friend is in Asia (Asia! I ask you!) on holidays! We communicate that we care in different ways. I hope that you know we care about you! :hug:

River's trying to climb up to me on the couch...I could help him get up I suppose, but he's so cute falling down.

Man, I was so grumpy at Rans last night...he keeps forgetting I'm pregnant and then saying 'why do you sleep so much, why are you always tired, I work too you know?' To his credit, he did come sheepishly to me after and said sorry, he didn't take pregnancy into consideration. I tell you, if he lives past 25, it'll be cos he's made a few changes! :p

mmmm ok.

O.M.G I am dying. This SPD thing is ridiculous. I cant hardly walk. Ry has wandered off to boxing class when all I want to do is sit in a steaming hot bath (or saw my legs off). I dont know how Im going to cope for another 13wks with this, just my luck I'll end up in a wheelchair. Ry said "Well you should sit and read all day" - uh yeah nobjockey how am I to do that with chores, a toddler and errands to run? His answer is - put Jett in his room. OMG can I kill him????

Im stuck in a situation I cant fix. I have absolutely no support and its not like Ripley is almost due or that Ry can get holidays to help me :crying:

Nessa - Hope you are feeling a bit better soon. Thank you for Julia's card, it was lovely. I agree with Nelle some people show their thanks and love in other ways, Im not a post person, I actually am scared of the post, DH opens it up for me and I have honestly only send 2 things by post this year as I get anxiety attacks when I send the post. I sent something to Maz last week as part of my group therapy challenge to see how I coped as a test. So I do apologise, I am a phone person definately :) anything paperless thats me! Im here if you need to chat or need any support with your PND honey I know it must be tough doing it with no meds atm etc...

Anna**- thanks for the chat today, I hope you are ok matey. Im sorry about the Chemical pregnancy. I worry about you and your pains, and the anxiety. I hope they come back with some answers with the other blood tests..until then ..keep drinking the milo....and call me if you have anxiety issues and I will try my best to calm you like you have done for me many a time. Im always here for you, I wish I was in Perth, cause I would come and mind Xander with Julia and they could play together and we could sit and chat and relax, thanks for being a great friend.Thanks for your tip re the smelly shoes !!! Im so happy I got rid of them they were bad and to score a new pair of shoes for $25 was a bargain, such nice shop assistant to dispose of the smelly pair too! lol

Maz - MWAH as always! thanks for the cover!!! it will look super! Ohh forgot to mention today did you want the BF book? Cant wait to meet you when I see the IL's in Nov/Dec mate! Thanks for all your support today...as always your a legend! lalalalalala!

BBL for more personals girls Julia wants dinner.

Hugs to everyone :grouphug:
