Sounds like a good plan ness. But my Dh doesnt listen either,thats why millana falls asleep in the lounge everynight then is put to bed then she wakes and cries and comes in with us. I dont think its fair that i have to put ruby to bed which can take 1/2 hr at times and then spend the next 1/2 hr putting millana to bed.Id be in their rooms everynight and no me time. And when i talk to aaron he just shrugs his shoulders and says it no problem with what millana does. grrr
We spent a lovely day at the beach.Well half a day. I felt like a bad mum because ruby has never been to the beach. She didnt like it too much.Warmed up to it slowly.She rather sit in the tent! Millana got in there too but at first didnt like it..My kids take forever to get into the action.lol
Well. i missed a day last week but also missed 3 contraceptive pils.The only reason i knew was because i got a period. Gee will have to get on top of this and organise myself.
-
Caddie- Teleah takes ages to warm up to something, she wont do anything without being coaxed into it. We went to the show and stood in lines for rides for ages then when we got to thr front she would scream and cry cause she didnt want to go on. I dont get it. hmm naughty girl missing the pill though.
-
I know! But with af here no chance i can get preggars anyway.lol
-
I have to say things have been better than I thought with Df away! I find cause I sleep better (no snoring) I have so much more energy in the day, (except for the hot days). Plus I seem to have a better routine, when Df is around the day is all over the place, I think both me and Ash work better with some sort of routine. We do miss him though. Not back til Thurs and I work that day so won't see him til 10pm!
Caddie- I haven't taken Ash to the beach, well once for a walk but thats it. i hate the beach, don't like sand and don't like hot sun. The IL's live block away so I know they've taken her couple times.

Hi girls
Just spoke to MAZ. she says that she hopefully will be back home Monday if all goes well. She has been quite ill with high BP still 170/100. Mateauz is doing well now, she had quite a scarey time over the last 5 days with him, he had episodes of turning blue and needed to be in special care most the time with glucose and oxygen. He is out of special care now and with her which is a good sign and no more episodes. So they are both being monitored for 2 more days and hopefully will be given the ok to come home, so please think of her and hope that all goes well guys and she will be home soon.
I havent got my test results back :( Im going to see my OB for my first appointment on Monday morning.. so will get them then. Thanks for thinking of me.

Ohhh good. My mum the stalker (:p) let me know we hadn't heard from Maz and she was very worried. Thanks so much for letting us know Belle, it's good to know things are okay.
Maz, we're all praying for you here.
Annie, we're pretty organised, just the extra seat for the P&T and another car seat to get really!
Well, I'm on a borrowed computer on hols, so catch y'all later. Take care. xo
-
Thanks belle for the news, I was worried something bad was going on. Glad to hear they're both getting better. Hopefully they both behave over the weekend and get let out on monday.
-
Hey all,
Maz - thinking of you and Mat- really hope things are settling down for you both - hugs.
Ness - these DH's - mine is the same with different things with Rylee in that I try and put in a plan for something but he then turns around and does something different.
Caddie - Rylee only started going to the beach these hols so don't feel bad.
Ash - it seems to be easier to put a routine in place without the men around as we only have to thing about the two of us not the three of us - but yeah we still miss them.
AnnaT - how is the bfing going - if you can't get hold of activite try milo or ovaltine - just to boost things up - I found I really had to drink loads of water eat lots of meat and fruit and veges and try and put my feet up during the day sometime - different when you have a toddler though.
Meg, congrats on your new purchase.
Annie - way to go on your weight loss programme - good on you!!!
Belle - hope you get your test results soon - hugs!!!
Hi to Nelle, Kell, Amz, chrissy, Jodie, Rach...
I went to a hens night last night with my sister - didn't get to bed till 2.30 am - didn't drink much but still feel knackered.....will head back to my parents which is a three hour drive away about 1 pm.
BBL & have a great day girls.

Thanks for the Aktivite tip - talk about instant results! Ive had 3 lots of it between yesterday morning-today and Ive got that full feeling back in my boobs. Taste's funky though so Ive been mixing it with Quick.
Just a quick check in, have friends coming over for lunch today at 11:30 so I need to shower, vacuum and prod Dh and Jett to get out of bed.
-
Shell.. i know what you mean. DH doesnt snore but oh i sleep so much better when i have the bed to myself!
Maz.. honey, thinking of you and Mat and hope youre both home and 100% very soon.
Belle.. dont worry hun everything will be fine!! Good luck tomorrow! Are you having the NT scan?
My NT scan is on Friday.. so so cant wait. It will finally make this whole thing feel a bit more real i think. Atm all ive had its BFP and positive blood tests to go off.. oh and no AF. No m/s, no kicking obviously.. was too early to try and hear heartbeat at my midwife appointment.. so will just be nice to see something :)
-
Hi,
A bit tired to day. was up till 1am. my own fault, but I couldn't sleep. As J is still waking up crying, I have to go into him instantly. Today it was 6:45. He is cranky today, but had a late night also last night. (didn't go to bed till 8:30pm) DH still not back from the bucks. He stayed at a friends. I will attempt to have a quiet one tonight. A friend stayed over last night, and is staying tonight. (her DH went to the bucks too) and as they live rurally, and have some appointments in Melb on Monday, it was much easier for them to stay tonight too! Lucky they are not late nighters, so I can slip off to bed at a decent hour tonight.
-
Kell- how exciting about you scan!! Its so good to finally see that you arnt imagingint hings.
Meg- hope you get abit more rest tonight.
laurin- a night out, lucky you i havent had one is ages, dont think i could cope with it though to be honest.
Well i have 3 days til my flavour scan and it cannot come fast enough. I am so desperate to know now. I have waited way to long. I dont know how i did it with annika.(we didnt find out her sex by choice)
oh last night i got Annika to sleep in her bed, it took just over a hour of the Rapid return technique Kell told me about and she finally went to sleep.There was no screaming either just getting out of bed as quickly as i put her in it. BUt todays nap time was a nightmare again. only about 20 min of screaming before she felll asleep though better then yest 1hr+
We finally have a cool day here today so we are heading out as a family to take the girls to the park when Annika wakes up. I know they will enjoy that. And DH gets to climb the 600 stairs all day up to the slide. :lol:
-
We tried putting millana to bed last night instead of the couch routine.She was getting cranky and all wound up so i thought "stuff it,im putting you to bed". What a drama.She got that upset she spewed all over her bed. Anyway we cleaned it up and aaron settled her whilst i did ruby. He had to lie with her but she was out like a light. Ruby a different story all together.I ended up putting her to bed and standing by her cot.Eventually she went too but i just about dropped off standing there watching her. She is still waking once for a bottle. Anyone elses bubs doing that? At one stage she was sleeping through but since the toncillitus and teeth/ear infect no full nites sleep to be found!
Kell and ness cant wait to hear bout your scans!
Annat im glad your booby supply has increased.Sounds like you are doing marvellously!!
Maz,cant wait till you are back online.Hope your bp comes down and little matueuz cant wait to see more pics with his bummy covers on!
Meg,hope you get an early night. Why is j crying? teeth? whingy?
Ok a garden clean up here today!!! Off i go and i hate gardening...
-
c'mon Maz check in here too :)
we both had nice bday Jase said lets go to bilo yesterday i was like ok, the bugger took me to rocky instead so we could do a few things but also see my mum :) was lovley
Meg I think you asked how Jack was going he did great thursday slept thru mind you he was awake at 6.15am *yawn* but better than 2am wake up, and need to get used to those times when I start this babysitting gig, friday night he had a late one didn't go down till 9.40pm as we had been out, but he woke at 4am :( then we had to wake him at 7.30am so we could get going, then last night OMG!!!!!!!! he finally went down at 10.30pm but was up at 3.30am gave him bottle then we crashed on futon till 8am for me 8.55am for him we again woke him :lol:
question he has dropped most of his milk feeds during the day gone from 4 x180ml too as little as 1x 100ml and maybe a 60ml I am wondering if this is why he is waking he is hungry WDYT!!!!!
-
Rach did you not see my post about MAz?
-
goodluck tomorrow belle...
hope maz will be allowed to come home tomorrow.
-
Thanks so much Shell, Laurin, Kell and Chrissy. I am anxious about tomorrow but its only natural. Chrissy let me know how you go at the hospy too mate.
-
Belle- honey maz is home!! she has posted. All the best for tomorrow too
Maz we know you are there, hmm you didnt reply to any of my sms and you told me to sms you ;) (its ok will forgive you this time, i know you were kinda of busy)
-
Ohhh thanks for passing that on Nessa , im a bit slow tonight as Ive got a headache :) thanks for the wishes for tomorrow.
Bel

yay that Maz is home, I did read her post in her preggy journal. Its great to hear they are both doing well and Mat is BFing well too.
Belle- What time is your appt tomor? I'll be thinking of you.
Rach- Is he eating alot? Ash has 2 bottles/ day now and eats plenty. I guess if he's not really interested than he can't be too hungry iykwim.
Ness, did Kell get that rapid return technique from house tiny tearaways? I'm onto it! Glad to hear though you had some success with it last night.
Caddie- We cut out night feeds when Ash was 12- 13 months, in the end I decided enough was enough, was so sick of getting up! She actually went better than we expected with cutting it out. I think we were just too tired to worry about how she would react so we put it off for so long.
Ash was in such a mood today, woke up and grizzled, winged all morning, then we went out to an engagement picnic, hour and half away, she slept most of it, had great time there then grizzled the whole drive home. I am amazed I didn't have an accident, i don't think any worse noise than a whingy child while you are trying to drive a long distance!
Anyways at least the picnic was nice, graet weather, we went up near you Meg, just up to mount macedon at the cross. If I had more time I would've popped in!
-
Shell - I would have LOVED to have seen you! j and Ash could have had a play! I was nearly going to go up to the cross today, as i had a friend over.
-
Shell.. yep tiny tearaways. Im gonna be using it with Jesse too.
Maz.. hope youre resting up hun.
Good luck tomorrow Belle (again :)).
Well DH has gone to see a movie with his mates and i was torturing myself with the Crime Investigation channel. Oh soo bad.. have turned it off now as ive started to freak out being home by myself hehe.
-
Kell- Lol, I never watch that channel cause I know its gonna freak me out or upset me! I love all the methods they use on tiny tearaways. I always think if i have prob in whatever area I'll use it.
Meg- How funny if you had gone up there! I actually felt car sick driving up there, those windy roads. Next time I just want to be a passenger cause so pretty up that way but couldn't get good look while driving. I was wishing I had more time cause I was thinking how close I was to you!
-
Goodluck tommorow belle!!
-
Hey Kell, what are you being sneaky about?
-
Well we had a great da at the park
To bad half the city had the same idea as us, first bearible day in 2 weeks so every man and his dog were there. Annika loves it and Teleah too. But you should have seen Annikas face when she saw the whole park, she didnt know what to do first.
Silly me forgot to put sunscreen on my face, did everywhere else but. So am a tiny bit sore on my face.
Have started tidying up the babies room, when we find out the sex we can start getting the clothes organzed, whether its selling all the girls ones to buy blue stuff or just putting the girls old clothes in the draws. not long till we find out.
-
Hi ya lovely ladies....long time no chat. It feels like ive been in a coo coo ward for the last week.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prays...Mateauz is doing fine now and yepa we're both home. Doc's didnt really want me to go yet but the place was driving me insane and I was missing my other babies badly. My BP is still up but im making an appointment with my doc to get it checked out monday - ive had 2 blury visin attacks today and my head is thumping...doesnt help that I came home to find MIL had rearranged all my cupboards and totally changed so many things.....did a big washing no-no for me (towels and underwear in the one load AHHHHHHH). I hope to hell she washed my cloth pads by them selves (I so dont want to know any more of what she did)
My little munci hasnt had to have a drop of formula at all. I took all the info and suggestions you girls have made to me on board and stood my ground with the midwifes. My milk came in on day 2 and OMG its fabulous. No sore bb's, nothing, Mateauz attatches himself and stays on until he's finished then just lets go with a big milk covred face and a sigh. I now see were all you girls get those feelings from about BFing and I honestly dont ever want this feeling to stop. I was so scared that I wouldnt except him but after everything thats happened...well lets just say the social worker I spoke to at the hospital said I have nothing to worry about (thank god).
my only worry is Vy atm. She wont go to sleep unless either Jed or I are there until she's asleep and gets so worked up she throws up everywere (Like MIllana Caddie) that I just cant do it to her (or me).
She is totally fasinated by Mateauz and keeps aking me 'Who's this?'. Se got her doll today and sat and held it while I was feeding him. I really think she missed me heaps when I was in hospital, I know I sure as hell did.
Alright enough of my capola. Im going to go and do some catching up right now but before I go
thank you all so much girls for being there for me, us in the last few months. Im sorry if I every dribbled on or moaned about anything and apologise if I did and thank you for being patient and listening to me and helping me when I asked advice. Your support, friendship and guidance has been truely welcomed with open arms.
MAUW xx

Hey maz, great to hear from you. So glad BFing is going so well. Its the best thing ever and so convenient too! Must be so much nicer being at home in your own bed with your own things (even if MIL did naughty things to your house!) I'm sure it won't take too long for Vy to settle. Its prolly harder for her cause you can't really sit down and explain to her whats going on, she sort of has to figure it out on her own that theres this new addition to her home. I'm sure it won't take long for her to adjust.
-
hi guys, glad to hear that things are getting better Maz and that you are home.
Belle hope things go well today.
Ummm I cant say much because this is a public forum but I wont be on for a while as things are really hitting the fan here and it is more than just me who is having a tough time. Life just feels like it is falling apart and I just dont know how to fix things. I feel like I am trying to be the glue but its not working and I am falling apart in the process. However it is better for me not to show how bad I feel as I will make things worse. So I think I am going to really try hard to get out of my parents house as it is a toxic house and is making things worse.
I really need to cry but cant as my family is around. I dont know what to say, but thank-you so much for all of your messages, sms's and thoughts for me and my family, it really does mean a lot to me and I am just sorry that I havent been there for you guys as much, but I do think about all of you and your issues and problems all the time, I hope that everything is ok for all of you.
On a brighter note Eithan took his first steps on Sat. Still no walking but whooohooo we have some progress. He is practically 17mths old so I am hoping it wont be too much longer.
Take care ladies.
Love

oh helen have you got any of our numbers at all to ring and chat? Sounds like you need a friend to talk too.I am really worried bout you now.
Maz welcome home.I have something for you but i am making a card so will be in the mail this week.Sounds all good with the BF.You are so lucky to get the chance to do it and get it right.Im a failure in that dept.
Ness,hows it going.I cant wait till your scan....Park sounds good.I need to get off my butt more.I only do bike rides.lol girls are contained then.lol

-
OH Helen honey........Im so sorry that your going through all this at the momnet. I totally agree with Caddie, ring one of us please so you can get it out without effecting anyone or hurting anyone around you, or having anyone being judgemental towards your thoughts. Pm me if you'd like my number hon, IM always here if you need me.
Caddie - BF took me to the 4th go to...I was a big failure with it to. I cant believe its working this time round...but little bugger is a bit funny today. I cant wait to see the card you make, their always beauitful. My mum saw the pic you made for Vy's room today for the first time and loves it. She said it is so her.
Shell - you are so right about VY. She is in a better mood today, her happy cheeky self (doesnt help that my parents come - she loves my mum). When is DP coming home? Have you had a night out yet?
hello everyone else - hope today finds you with blue skies and happy hearts
Have to make a shopping list casue my MIL bought grocieries for us and she didnt think that there are 5 of us to eating, not just 2 and OMG she bought all the $$$ stuff (which we cant afford) from the money Jed gave her to buy things with...and I am so pi$$ed cause she bought nappisan from our grociery money cause she thought she should just get it in case and I never use the $hit!!!! grrrrrr
ok enough from me

-
MOrning guys!!
Maz- nice to see you back!!!! Sounds like BF is 4th time the charm, hopefully 3rd time for me!!! Hmm Annika can make herself throw up as well and teleah. its hard to ignore i know and hurts like hell but it just there way of getting attention
Helen- honey just want to give you a big hug.
well i just got out of bed, hehe at 11am. Dh doesnt start work til 1 so i slept in and was so nice!!! HAve to find something now to entertain the girls today.
50hrs till we find out the sex
-
Hey girls
Maz - great to hear you are out of hospital, and also the bfing is going fantastic - that is great hun!!! Grrr to MIL - last thing you need!!!!!
Caddie - Rylee stopped her night feeds of her own accord at about 11 months - I was more than ready for her to stop then.
Helen - huge hugs to you - I hope you can talk to one of us or a friend about what you are going through as you need to get it out - I am very very sorry you are going through such a hard time.
Shell - I agree - it is horrible driving when a child is crying and whingy.
Ness - yay, we are looking forward to hearing your news!!!!
BBL

Maz - I am so pleased that all is going well for you. It is always tough with someone else in your house isn't it? My MIL thought that she was helping by washing and putting away my MCN. A BIG no , no here. She stuffed them all wrong, and I had to take them all back out again anyway. She also put a pocket on J without anything stuffed in it!!
Helen - I really hope things are alright for you. Just to let you know that I am thinking of you.
Belle - How did it go today?
Ness - I bet you are excited about finding out.
Kell and Shell - I think I will probably end up using the rapid return technique when the time comes. I love Tearaways. I am also now really into the Home and Health channel. There is a new show starting next week about a lady who has just had her 16th baby. Oh - and girls of the Playboy mansion new series starts tomorrow!!!
-
Meg- Yeah I love that channel. I can't wait for that show to start, they have been on couple times before with all there kids, I think the new one has number 17 coming. They are famous that family.
Ness- When I first read 50hrs til we find out the sex I originally thought it read 50 hrs til we have sex! Lol! Must have sex on the brain. How exciting though the scan only 2 days away. The cheeky thing better behave!
Maz- Df comes home thurs (while I'm at work) No night out, no baby-sitters to have one, but I do have days out planned for Fri and next Mon (baby free) while Df can have some daddy and Ash time. Glad to hear Vy is in a better mood.
HelenP- Big hugs, you've got my mobile number there so if you do feel you want or need to talk just give me a call. Could you treat yourself to a day out just you time?
Not much going on here, cleaning cause mums group is on at my place tomor. Just doing main areas and can hide all the other areas.
-
maz...welcome home, nice to see you back and in fine form too ;)
helen..thinking of you hun :hugs:
belle..how did you go today?
-
Shell - I find it quite amusing that they talk about a family having 17 kids. my MIL is number 13 of 16 kids. There are 3 generations of kids in the one family. DH has aunts and uncles in their 80's. My MIL's brothers and sisters mainly went on to have big families. Most have at least 9 kids. Concequently Dh has about 70 first cousins. Compared to me. I have 3 cousins!!! MIL loves watching those sort of shows. She feels like someone can relate to her childhood.
I like the show "John and Kate's 8." about the family with sextuplets.
-
17 kids is just mad hehe.
now way could i do it.
Hmm we have just made cookies and now the girls are throwing pencils at each other, why is it i try and do something nice and they are entertained for a bit then they are at each others throats again!!
-
Shell.. yeh im usually ok with that channel if DH is home, i still make him check every door is locked though before he comes to bed! But yeh, being home alone, not good at all. Oh i have to change that.. have had it as sneaky since i found out i was pregnant before i told anyone ;)
Maz.. great to see you. So happy for you that Mateauz is going so well with his BFing.
Helen.. so sorry that youre going through a hard time.. i hope things start to pick up for you very soon.
Meg.. ill have to program that show! Oh i love Girls Of the Playboy Manson too!! haha theyre so funny.
Belle.. howd your appointment go?
Nessa.. not long now! Woo woo!
Well im sooo buggered from just walking around the shops today. Pregnancy can really take it out of you.
