[Boo Boo]

Hey all,

Sorry I have been missing in action the last few days....

I just wanted to send some hugs and say hi and also thoughts are with Helen, Rach and anyway one else who is not well or bubs not well. Yay to Jack on his walking . Rylee took three the day but hasn't done any since...
I have loads to tell but I woke up with a tummy bug - yuck - so will BBL.

Laurin xxx

[shellbell3]

Laurin- Hope that tummy bug settles, what is in the air at the moment with all these sickness?! Have you and Dh started councelling yet? Hope things between the 2 of you are starting to get sorted.

Rach- yay on the 3 steps, won't be long now til he is running everywhere. How are you and jack with the tonsillitis?

HelenP- Oh god, hope you get some sleep tonight. How is Eithan? has his temp come down at all?

Kell- Ikwym, on the odd occasion Ash sleeps thru i wake so tired! Its like my body has gone into shock from all the sleep. How's jesse's cold?

Annie- How was brunch? Did you get to go child free?

Maz- I haven't been to the show for years, the cost of it all is terrible, I joke to Df we better start saving now so when Ash is old enuff we can afford it! Its great though that the kisd had a great time.

Belle- Has Julias tooth come thru? We've been waiting for Ash's molar to come thru for like 3 weeks now! Sounds good getting to have a night out baby free. Next time you'll have to do the drinking and falling asleep!

Nelle- Is it just scince getting preg that the insomnia started or did you have probs beforehand? Hopefully you can sort something out for long term but if it is just from the preg than time will sort it out.

Ness- friends like that are annoying, she should just understand you have different interests! And I'm with you, no way would i be letting my kids near a gun.

And how are all our lurkers doing? Hope everything is going ok, I'm thinking bout you all.

I've had a nice weekend, didn't have to work today, working tomor instead.
Had great night out, had these choc mudslide ****tails and OMG they are so delicious, just like a choc milkshake. I think if you're not careful you could go over the top with them. Won some money on roulette and just enjoyed being out for the night with good company. Then got to sleep in this morn. I should be going out more often!

[Nelle]

My battery's about to go flat, so I'll pop in later, but Shell, mudslides are totally my favourite alcoholic drink! Mmm.

I'm doing my meal planning at the moment...rans and I are fighting about whether we have lemon chicken or mango chicken (I reckon it'll be mango).

Back when the lappy's got more juice! Eugh, and smells like I've got a poo to deal with before Riv heads to bed!

[maz]

oH SHell - maybe thats what all us girls in here should do...have a huge meet up and get $hitfaced together. I could so do that!!! Fantastic that you had such a great night and won some $$ woo hoo. I want a milkshake now!!!!
OMG Nelle - when did you turn almost 16 weeks pg????? $hit!
Lauren - hope that tummy bug of yours hits the road. YUCKO
WTG Jack the man on taking some steps. your mummy would b esuper proud
helen - nig hugs honey..I so feel for you right now.
Annie - have you started your job share yet? How are you anyway's woman
AMBZ - HOW AR EYOU FEELING THESE DAYS? Ah stupid caps locks!!!!!!
Anna - I hope that your feleing abit better today matie...cant get you out of my head!!!
Kara - hope you doing good to...very jealous of you 2 meeting up tomorrow
Caddie - are your parents back for good now? Or are they off on another adventure? Are the girls happy to have them back home aswell.....hmm what wine did you drink (Its been a LONG time)
Kell - I was so peeved cause I couldnt go on any of the rides but just seeig the boys faces was enough to make up for it. Amazing how much your perspective on things change isnt it.
AnnaT - Jed thinks i need to do the test you did after I told him what you posted. Its driving me insane and my throat...GOD!!!!! Worst place is my bingo flaps...cause ive lost weight and they rub on my clothes, they are so dry and owie.
Hello everyone else - I hope you ALL had a fantastic weekend
i let Vy have some 'free ball' time this afternoon..hmmm she sat on my lap pointed down and said 'whats that' just as I felt this warm sensation running down my leg...hmmm me thinks someone can tell what wee is. She thought it was to funny little rabbit.
OK now I need to say this and it makes me wonder...... Ive started to realise that yes I have always loved Vy from the start but lately I have these real big strong feelings on closeness with her and it makes me wonder if I have loved her all along...its like ive suddenly woken uyp and thought OMG your my daughter and I am so in love with you. Does that make sence? Then I wonder if ive always felt like this and start to feel like ive negleted those feeling abit...hmmm I think maz has been having to much hormonal thinking time......
Anywho
Going to sit down and do some sewing

[Nelle]

Maz (just quickly as I'm eating KFC, YUM!), I was like that with Rans, I thought I loved him when we first got married, now I realise that compared to how I feel about him now, what I felt to him back then was nothing! You think you can't possibly love deeper, and then you find a different level of love! It's amazing and awesome isn't it. Blows my mind, how much I love my family.

Oh and yeah, funny to think I'm not too long off halfway! I give birth in under 6 months!

Shell, insomnia is a preg thing for me. So yeah, there's definitely there's a light at the end of the tunnel. That Brauer spray is saving me though! Kell, I just take it when I want to sleep! 1/2 hour before bed, and then some sprays before bed, but I just spray when I go to bed, cos I forget 1/2 hour before.

Big hugs to all our sickies Not fun to be sick.

[Freya]

Not feeling happy so Im keeping to myself. I hope your all doing well though!

Maz - I def recommend getting the test done. Its costing me $30 out of pocket (might not for you though depending on what company you go through) but I consider it worth it. I notice the itching much more now when I *dont* take the phenergan. Its driving me insane.

[Nelle]

Hugs Annat, hope things are okay.

Yeah Ness, the belly is slowly coming along...well, I think so, no-one else can really see it yet, I just look like I've put on a bit of chub. Never mind. I *think* I've started to feel kicks, but can't be sure, it's nothing strong, the sonographer said the placenta's at the front, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

I'm not doing myself any favours with insomnia am I. Okay, off to bed then!

OH! Forgot to say, River had his first sleepover at Mum and Dad's last night, since Rans and I had Thanksgiving dinner which went late - apparently it didn't faze him at all! Dad was amazed, said 'you don't know how good you've got it...' to which, admittedly I got a bit snippy, cos everyone says that, and trust me, I DO appreciate how cruisy River is! I do! I'm very grateful and don't take him for granted at all! Anyway, it's good to know that he's okay for overnighters if we ever need again!

[ShootingStar]

Oh my goodness NESSA.. see you in 5 hours next week!!

AnnaT.. hope everythings ok.

Nelle.. glad its just a pg thing and not long term.. bbut good the spray stuff works! Nothing worse than knowing youre tired but cant sleep.

Maz.. oh i know what you mean. I sit and look at Jesse and just cant remember him being anything but he is now. Like i dont remember him being a little baby. Of course i remember what happened etc, just he is who he is now. I was thinking the other night when i was up at 1am with him just cuddling him that i love him so much. It did not phase me being up at that hour for 4 hours. I was thinking to myself how calm i was being with him just because i had him. Hard to explain.

Helen.. oh you poor thing, hope you got some better sleep last night.

Rach.. yay for Jack walking.

SHell.. glad you had a good weekend! Jesse still has his boogery nose. Worst thing is, ive woke with a slight tingle in my throat! SO have taken some multivitamins in hope they kick it before it starts. If not ill be straight onto the codril. Hope work is cruisy for you today.

[Rach75]

I think the steps were a little fluke but he did it, he walked from couch to jason's chair I didn't see but jase got him to do it again a little later and he did but was wobbly we keep trying to get him to go again but he just laughs and falls down, now we really need to get him to stand alone first I think before he walks he will occasionally let go of table or where ever he is standing for 10-15secs then realise and make a grab for it

also ?? and yes I know every child is different when did your kids stand alone without assistance..

[ShootingStar]

Rach.. Jesse stood unaided on 23rd July so 10 1/2 months. But as you said every child is different. He is not doing alot of things that others are, like in speach. He still doesnt clap hands or point also.

Anna**.. how are you travelling these days hun? Hows that spunky little man of yours? Have you made and cakes lately? Would love to see them.
ETA.. Anna just looked at Xander's photos with his spilt milk hehe cheeky monkey!

[Rach75]

what I meant was standing without using a aid to stand up, so if he/she was in middle of room and could stand

[Freya]

Jett was doing that at a week off 10mths Rach, then he started walking full time. Its unusual for babies to do that without walking first. They dont have enough leg strength yet.

[Rach75]

thanks Anna so they need to walk before standing up cool thats what I was trying to find out

[**Helen**]

Thanks guys, still sick baby here. I am off to the dr's in 20mins. He wont drink or eat.

Sharleen-Hope things settle down soon.

Eithan cannot walk or stand unasissted yet.

I cant believe how preggers all of you pregger mummies are getting.

Ummmm better go Eithan crying.

Love

[Freya]

Generally Rach, although there are always exceptions to the rule! Sounds like walking isnt too far off for you guys. Get ready to go insane lol

HAPPY 3RD TRIMESTER MAZ!!!!!!!!!!

[maz]

OMG AnnaT - I totally forget!! $hit! hope our ok chickie! Im defently dong that test now I dont care im sick of acting like a dog with flea's!
Im glad im not the only one who feels this big love thing atm.
Rach - Vy would stand herself up at 9 months un added. Every baby is different and were some do things early other do things better earlier. Dont stress about it.
Bel - are you alright after last night matie.
$hit Helen - I hope to hell Eithan's alright..im thining of you.
Nelle - I cant wait to see your belly next month and im the same as you...I jsut cant sleep! I dont even get tired really, drives me insane cause i know I'll be so tired later. I also think it is a truely beautiful thing that you have found adeeper love for Rans now too. I spoke to Jed about that last night and he said he felt the same after we had each baby. And you know what, I feel like that to about Jed. I honestly dont know what I would do without him in my life. I cant even think about it with out wanting to cry.
Ness - OMG one week to go and you'll be flying high...I cant believe its come so quickly.
Kell - you hit the nail on the head honey. I love those tender times in the early hours in the morning just cuddling, knowing its just me and Vy and no-one else. I love night feeds (as much as my eyes are hanging out of my head) just for that.
Sharleen - PMSL at Ambah being obsessed at your boobs. Vy has this habbit of p[utting her hand down my top and nesting it inbetween them lately...god knows why cause its been a year (OMG) since I BF her.
Hello everyone else..hope today finds you with sunny skies and happy thoughts.

[Cougar]

hi girls

sorry not up to personals, i am just so sick with m/s, and so tired and vague, just thought i would let you all know im still alive

[Rach75]

just to clarify I am so not stressed about the standing or walking was just curious

man I wish this headache stuff would go away, the boys are driving me nuts today *sigh* they both seem tired neither wants food, bottles or need nappy changes so not helping my headache dizziness
