Wow Meg, maybe he's gonna be an early toilet trainer!
Ness, you couldn't have seen it coming. As for Chrissy decorations, I saw this great idea last year in Spotlight, where you need kinda sparkly metallic string, fabric stiffener and balloons - you blow up the balloon, wrap the string around it in a kinda random pattern (don't know if you dip the string in stiffener first, or spray it or something as you go...anyway), and then when it's dry, you just pop the balloon and pull it out! Could be fun to make! I'll see if I can find a pic of the kind of thing I mean.
Nope, not telling the sex! Seriously, when you think that I'm almost 22 weeks already, time will continue to fly, and you'll all find out before you know it!
Better go change a pooey nappy and put someone to bed!

Hi girls
Took Julia to the doc this arvo she is now on antibiotics the poor sick girl was not really happy yesterday or today she has a cold and ear infection and her eyes are all puffy so got some drops and also antibiotics...
Ness - so sorry to hear about Annika honey totally not your fault, I would be very anxious too, thinking of both of you hon.
Im at mums atm going out to dinner with the family tonight shall be nice and then heading to Melb to visit Inlaws and Maz on the ways down lol...
MAZ - See ya on Sunday matey! Cant wait, 3 more sleeps!
Thanks for all your messages girls sorry I havent been able to do more personals so flat out packing and washing and getting crap together for the holiday...please forgive me! Thinking of you all.
ETA - girls is it ok to give Julia panadol as well as Amoxil???????????????? what do you girls do ?

Ruby seemed to get better so cancelled dr appointment now shes bad again so i got another tommorow to go to. I think shes got the same as julia.Shes got a green nose,cough,puffy eyes and cant walk properly at times and seems unbalanced.Slight temp.
Ok better go and look after her.
-
maz - just got my copy of Coles Baby, you guys look great!! What a beautiful family pic. Great article too.
nessa - like the others have said, try not to be too hard on yourself. Accidents happen all the time. And pooey to that dr! At least you know what sort of mother you.
belle - I believe you can give Panadol & Amoxil as I believe Amoxil doesn't contain Paracetamol, better check on that though! Hope she gets better soon.
caddie - oh I hope Ruby doesn't get any worse. Poor thing. Bummer you cancelled the app, can you get another app tomorrow?
meg - that's great that James does a wee on the potty. Nina does wees & poos on her potty, but not on command like that! She usually sits there playing for a bit, then does something. She now knows that after I go to the toilet, we have to put down the toilet seat and flush the toilet. It's very cute (oh, and she insists on watching me go the toilet every time too, PITA!!)
Anyone else feel like their bub has grown up heaps like what seems to be overnight. I feel Nina has gone from a baby to a toddler virtually overnight. She now picks up her bag and my keys whenever she wants to go in the car, and starts waving and saying bye to everyone. She puts her hand over her mouth when she coughs. And the other day I was sneezing and she put my hand over my mouth as I sneezed. It was so cute. And she's eating like a horse as well, she just doesn't stop eating. Even daycare can't believe the amount she puts away (takes after her mother there lol). I'm glad I'm having another baby, as much as I love watching her grow and learn, I really miss that baby stage too.
-
I went and got some of Jesse's professional photos tonight. His fireman and other old style one. Have put 2 in my gallery.. oh hes sooooo cute.. sorry i have to just say that.. he is.
Belle.. i honestly have no idea. But i hope the antibiotics kick in soon for the poor pet.
Ooow gotta run, Heroes is on.. have a nice night everyone :)
-
Yeah Jodi, he's not walking yet, but suddenly he's stopped growing UPwards (about time, he was getting quite tall!) and is filling out and looking more like a little boy, as opposed to a baby. They're cute aren't they. River spent a lot of today clapping and poking his tongue out! Cheery little one he is.
I made bruschetta tonight! Well...not from a recipe, but it tasted like bruschetta in the end, so that's what matters right?
-
Hi girls... just sticking my head in.
Belle - Yes, it is fine to give Panadol with Amoxyl. Panadol is pretty much safe with everything. Hope the ear infection clears up quickly, they are horrible things.
Nessa - What a scare! Try not to take it to heart if it came across from the hospy staff that they thought you are a bad mum, you aren't!!! Kids move so damn quick. My cousin did the same thing as a toddler and my Aunty is one of the most hyper-vigilant parents around!
Maz - Thanks heaps for chat today, was great to catch up.
Caddie - Hope you get some sleep tonight. I've had chronic insomnia for nearly a month now, so I know how it feels! ahhhhh. How's Ruby now?
Shell - Hows' things?
Jodi - Thanks for the e-mail - I love those sugar babies!
wow... so much is going on in here, and all the preggos are so far along now! Not long till we start seeing some newborns around here.... awwwww so cute.
We've stopped TTC (could someone update the list?) - I think the Clomid may have been the trigger that set off my anxiety disorder and panic attacks. Obviously the anxiety was underlying (I've got post-natal anxiety), but the Clomid may have been the final straw so to speak. Oh well, I'm coming to terms with it and just taking things one step at a time until I recover - at least I am no longer scared of the anxiety/panic attacks as I know what is happening.
Xander is now running and climbing... and getting into everything! Such a cutie tho. He is going in for surgery on the 3rd of December to get grommets inserted into his ears. The specialist told us that he would likely need another set of grommets when these ones fell out... and then as soon as he is old enough, he will have his tonsils and adenoids removed. Poor little tike!!! He has got hearing loss, but we expect that will improve once the grommets are in - no wonder he "ignores" us, he can't really hear us very well!
ETA: Are there a few new people here? Or have people changed there user names????
-
ANNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! :D So great to hear from yooooou!
I'd wondered if the Clomid had been a bit of a trigger, I remember you being concerned cos it turned you into a banshee. :p So glad you popped in, and are working towards recovering!
And wowee about Xander, glad to hear he's doing well and going to get better. My cousin had to get grommets as well, she was pretty much completely deaf til about 3! Just learned to lip read!
And both, there are new people, and some have changed their names! A few have started to drop off the wagon a bit too!
I'm eating chocolate melts with my beer mug of milk...I don't even really like chocolate that much anymore at night (don't mind it in the mornings though - which is when I ate some chocolate that Maz gave me, mmmm!).
-
Anna.. very nice to see you. Take all the time you need hun. Hope Xander's operations go well and help the poor little guy. Take care.
-
Great to see you in here Anna!! It's wonderful to hear you're on the road to recovery. You sound very positive through your post.
Wow at Xander running and climbing! Last I spoke to you he hadn't even started walking yet. He's going great.
I hope all goes well with the grommets. He'll be a new boy again soon.
Was the chest pains you were getting part of the anxiety? And do you think one day you'll start trying for another?
I was just thinking this morning how we'll have some new little bubbas around soon, but hopefully they don't make an entrance too soon (are you two listening, Sunshine & Ripley, stay in your mummy's bellies!!)
I've just finished my coco pops so gotta get Nina up for the day, her last day at her current daycare today. I'm changing her to a new one next week. And boring old work for me. If I didn't get paid so well I wouldn't be bothered going in. aaahhhh well, love ya and leave ya.
-
hellooooooooooooo ladies!!
hoping you are all well as with your beautiful children and unborn bubbies!!
just a quick hello to let you all know we are doing great!
Savanna is wonderful and is such a big girl now. She is cutting her molars poor bubba so shes a little sore. she is climbing on everything. ive caught her a few times scaling the kitchen drawers. she uses the handles as a ladder. gives me such a fright!!!! the couch seems to be her favourite cause she can reach the light switches from it. haha drives me crazy!! lol
little bubba in my tummy is doing well according to my OB and is already head down. braxton hicks are getting more painful. everyone says i am much smaller this time around compared to my tummy size with savanna... hmmm wonder if that means anything??? well we still dont know really what we are having and im happy to keep it that way :)
i have to read through and catch up on everyone but for now gotta get ready for my GT test uuuucckkkyyy :)
take care ladies
luv ambz

Jodi - Yep, the chest pains were more than likely from the anxiety. It is amazing what physical symptoms you can get from a mental illness!!! As for trying for another, not sure on that one right now, my number 1 priority is getting well again, once I am better DH and I will have to sit down and have a chat. If Clomid was the trigger, then not sure what we'll do - maybe try a naturopath. Why are you changing daycare? Has something happened at your current one?
Nelle - Chocolate melts with warm milk is one of my faves! Yummmmmmmmmm. Bet that sent you off to sleep pretty quickly.
Ambz - I hear ya on the molars... Xander is cutting 3 at the moment. Add that to his current ear infection and that adds up to one grumpy bubba! Great that your baking bub is doing well.
Kellxx - Thanks for the well wishes. Hope all is well with you too?
-
Anna - Hellooooooo!!!!
Yep I also changed my name due to a number of reasons.
I am so glad that you popped in to say hi!
I hope Xander goes well with the little OP that he is having.
BBL James is crying.
-
Been in hospital overnight. Having contractions 8 min apart. Put me on nefideprine (or whatever its called) but wasnt having much luck stopping them so got a shot of morphine. Theyve died down a bit so Im on rest and theyll be watching me closely. Was <...> this close to being shipped to Melb. Bub is engaging but healthy, my cervix is closed and 'reasonably' high meaning he isnt coming in the next 24-72hrs. My OB is confident that we'll make it to 36wks atleast, if not further if I rest and keep an eye out, he wanted to keep me in tonight too but I said no, id come back if anything happened. I feel so nauseous and cant keep any food down, apparently a side effect of the medication. Hoping itll ease up soon.
Will keep you posted!
-
Ok, so everyone is out and Eithan is asleep, so I am going to attempt some personals while I can.
AnnaT- You randy thing, gotta give it up for a while I think and keep Ripley in there longer. Seriously though, take care and I hope you can manage to get some rest.
Anna-So good to hear from you. So sad to hear that you have been having a tough time of it lately, plus poor Xander. I had the same problem as a child and was classified as 1/2 deaf when I was 5, my parents had no idea, I had the grommets and adenoid thing and I turned out alright, although that depends who you talk to LOL. Again though even though I am sure he will be fine I still really feel for you, it cant be easy with everything and Xander being unwell.
Belle-Poor Julia, I really hope that she gets better soon. How are you going? How is DH? have they got his medication sorted out?
Maz-You are a star, I dont know where you find the energy, loving your ticker pic. Are the kids getting excited about christmas and st nic?
Caddie-LOL at Aaron talking about kids while he is in the mood. PMSL:lol:
That is a banned subject while DTD here. Glad to hear that you guys had a reconnection. How is the shape of Ruby's head going?
Nelle-I have been thinking boy for ages, but we'll see. I actually knew what I was having with Eithan but not with Bella. So we did the same as you guys and we didnt tell anyone either, hard with slip-ups though. I kept slipping up that we were having a girl as I think I was so concious as to not say boy.
Meg-Love the new name and the av, like a mini make over. So how are things on the job front? Glad you liked tassie. We love it here.
Ambz-Helllo, saw your little girl on the target site, sooo cute. My guess for you is a girl.
Jodi-mmmmmm not sure with you, I think it is a girl aswell. How are the crocs up there?LOL Did that cyclone come anywhere near you? I am going to worry all cyclone season now, knowing someone in the tropics.
Rach-You must have your crewman back by now. I hope that you are enjoying it. Sending baby dust your way.
-
Anna honey - I am so glad you have stuck your head back in here. I think you might have to up load some new pics of Xander walking though ;) and honey, im glad your on the road to recovery. MAUW matie
Annat - holly $hit woman!!!! you tell that little so and so to hold up. take it easy woman!!!!
Have to make choco muffins
BBL
-
AnnaT - Try and rest up. Gee I wish you had more support, it really sounds like you need it. At least bub is healthy and well. That's the main thing. I bet you are wishing the next few weeks to fly by. At this rate you might get a early Christmas present!!
James is now in bed. Not asleep though as we have some tradesmen here so it is pretty noisy.
maz - My fluffy mail arrived Yay! It is awesome. Thank you so much!!! I will make sure I send you a pic when he wears it!
Ambz - I am glad all is going well for you. You must be excited about the new bub coming soon.
Ness - Enjoy your Krisy Kreme's.
I have a question for all those who use childcare. What sort of childcare do you use? A centre, or Family day care? I will need to put James in for one day a week next year while I work, but I am sooooo nervous about it. I really don't want him in childcare at all.
Anyway I visited the local centre here, and it looks OK. But james is not walking yet, and I feel like he will be bowled over! Also there is no way that they can tell me that they can comfort him if he is upset when they have so many other children to chase after. They said that they all go down for asleep together on little camp beds, meaning that he is not going to get a quality sleep, and he can't sleep as long as he wants as I am betting as soon as one wakes up, that would be it for the rest of them. And James becomes very upset if he gets overstimulated for too long. I can just imagine he would be beside himself by the end of the day. When getting toward the end of the day, if another bub starts crying, that would be it, so would he. (he can be a bit precious!)
So then I thought maybe family day care. There would only be 5 kids, all at one persons' home. I like this idea coz more quiet time, and a better sleeping environment. I am not 100% bought on there being a sole carer because who knows what they might do while no one is watching!!
I don't know..... Really it comes down to me not wanting to put him in any sort of care...
I might also post this in the childcare section, but I feel less judged in this thread, so that is why I thought I would start here.
Sorry for such a ramble
ETA - Hi Helen, My old job has offered me 18 hrs a week to work flexibly, hence the childcare post above. Family will care for him most of the time though.
I am so jealous of you living in Tassie. My great Aunt lives in battery point. Right on the water.

Kell-I hope that ms doesnt rear it's ugly head for you. Maybe just a little naseua and nothing else. Have your migraines stopped now?
Laurin-I hope that things are going alright and you are enjoying your time away.
Shell-I got your no. thanks. How is little Ash going? I am so looking to hopefully catching up when we are in Mel. You wait to you see Eithan. He is huge. BUt not tall. LOL.
Ugh Eithan is up, I know I have missed heaps of people. Sorry, I will hopefully get to you all late. Hope you are all well.
Love

I have a headache!
Rushing round today trying to get things organised for Ashleigh's christening on Sunday, have to work tomor so won't have time then.
Second drama is that C$@T that ran into me has turned around and told his insurance company that I sideswiped him! Then he went on to tell us to never ring him again and we can deal with his insurer.I am soooo angry. Lodged a claim with mine and they gonna investigate. I have to draw a sketch of what happened etc, I'd like to know exactly what his story is just so I can find holes in it! I don't see why I should pay a $450 excess and be put out trying to get it all fixed when its his fault 100%! Anyways I have plans up my sleeve....
HelenP- Yeah it'll be great to meet up! Anyday you are free let us know, other melb girls can all come along. Just Thurs are no good for me cause I work. Have you been to melb before?
Meg- Hmmm, I haven't used childcare yet but we did put Ashleigh's name down for family day care but also not sure. If I had money I'd get a nanny! The same things you pointed out were always on my mind. Sorry I'm not much help am I!
AnnaT- God! rest up and keep Ripley in there. No more dtd for you! Make sure Ry waits on you and chases after Jett.
Anna**- Hi!!! So good to see you in here. That sucks bout the clomid causing all those probs. At least you sort of know what was triggering the attacks and get be on the road to feeling better. Will you still ttc without it? Or just gonna see what happens?
Ambz- Hello! Not long til you are going to pop either. I thought you knew what you were having and keeping it secret from us!
Ness- Glad to hear Annika is doing well, don't listen to horrible Drs, as most mums will know it hardly takes any time at all for kids to be climbing into things, putting things in there mouths, doing things they aren't meant to.... we need bout million eyes over us!
Belle and Caddie- How are those sicky bubs of yours?
Jodi- ikwym, i always think how much they have developed into little people. I guess they'll always be our babies forever. Its funny now how independant they want to be and there strong will for things they do or don't want. Love seeing her personality emerging.
Hmm, wonder where my coles baby is then! I want to see the article.
-
Anyone who gets the Coles baby mag, make sure you get your coupon and go into your local store and pick up your goddies bag. It is full of great things, including 3 jars of baby food (and I needed some more for when we are out and about) bottle teat, loads of baby wash samples, some newborn nappies and breast pads (great for all you "expecting" mums). it is well worth it.
Shell I am sorry to hear that he is being difficult. That is why I always get a police report. I have had it happen to me before. I hope he gets found out.
-
Meg- is it too late now to get police report or is it something I needed to do straight away?
Oh I just realised I don't think I changed my address with coles mag!
-
Where is the voucher in the mag? I must've missed it... is it seperate or on a certain page?
-
Hi girls
So busy today packing and stuff and poor Julia is at daycare sick, so I cant get the stuff done. Ive faced a lot of challenges today and got through them so its all good. Cant wait to away... feel a bit crap atm got Julia cold and im knackered all the time.
BBL tonight try to attempt some personals after I have packed the car.
-
I havent got my Coles baby mag yet either but dont really need the goodies bag cause we're a eco friendly family :( and especially since im in it too.
HHmmmmmmmm Belle
-

-
Jodi.. have fun at work.. joy joy.. hope it goes fast.
Nessa.. hope youre appointment goes well. Dont eat them all at once or theyll be all gone!!
Anna**.. welcome honey. Yeh everythings going good.. just tired as always :)
AnnaT.. oh dear.. just take it easy!
Maz..mmmmmmmm chocoolate muffins.....mmmmmm. Youll have to scan the pic for us. I threw the mag out, i got it a few weeks ago.. before i knew you were in it.
Helen.. yeh i hope not. I didnt have any ms with Jesse so heres hoping this ones the same. Funny thing. I got a migrain about 2 weeks ago, before i found out. And that made me think i wasnt pregnant as i never got one the whole time i was pregnant with Jesse. So i really hope i dont get any more as panadol does nothing for them and thats all i can take! Great big posts. Hows everything with you now?
Meg.. i will have to make sure i take it when we do our shopping tomorrow!!
Belle.. hope you and Julia are better soon.
Well im all tuckered out. Tiredness is kicking in even more now. Gonna go lounge...
-

-
Lol, I was wondering the same thing with Belle, then saw cycle day 2 on her ticker and thought, hmmm that might not be updated and she may have just tested! Well belle?
Ness- Glad your appt went well. When is your 4d scan? I forgot the date.
Chrissy- Ahh that happened when I was preg with Ash, once the m/s went the headaches and migraines begun.
Caddie- Poor Ruby. Is she on Ab's? Once they kick in she'll feel heaps better.
I want my coles mag! I'll have to contact them to send to my new addy!
-
Belle has to be UTD! Look at her title!!! No drinkies at christmas for me!! She sooo is!!!!!

My sis and her friend dropped in for a few hours today though, and my back room is clean! Yay for them! So nice of them, I'm hoping we'll have everything sorted by the end of tomorrow! :D
-

OMG Ness- 28 weeks isnt really that far away..seems like a life time ago for me now pmsl.
Jed came home with a migraine and procedded to throw up in the shower...hmmmm Yes i was hugging the bowl and being a copy cat. He is so lucky ive beeniwth him for 11 years and I cant be @r$ed swapping him for another model...bugger that, its taken me this long to train him into doing what I WANT!!!!!
-
Yes ruby is on AB's because dr its a strep B infect. 50% chance i will get it and i have a funny throat so i will pop my miracle tonic and hope for the best.
Wow sounds like belles utd! So exciting.
Maz u look spunkalicious in your ticker.
Helen ruby's head is not noticable unless you feel it.
Does anyone want free spew bibs? 2 for free.
Going to hang out some blankets ive washed and will stick on ebay i think.
-
Hi girls
Im back from picking Julia up from daycare...Ive got Julia's cold and the worst sore throat I feel like crap.
I wasnt going to do a HPT because I didnt want to see BFN, but MAZ twisted my finger and I bought a test while I was out at lunch today doing my jobs for going away... and got home this arvo and did the test and I have a 2nd line, I cant believe it! I am so excited, we concieved the baby naturally and have never done that before, our first baby which I miscarried was a Clomid baby and Julia was a Clomid +Metformin baby. I concieved before I went to the OB on the 13th of this month to get Metformin I cant believe it! Im still in shock...what excellent news.
-
Yay Belle! Congratulations! So how far along does that make you? Make sure you rest up and drink heaps of water, recovering from sickness when your immune system is low from pregnancy.
-
-
YAY BELLE............HUGE CONGRATS
