Rach-I have heard that pregnancy is good for fertility, maybe you have another miracle there??? Thanks for sharing your story of having children with me, it must have been a few hard years for you even sometimes now. Big hugs

didn't have such a good night again :pray: tonight is better, he went down quite early 8.30pm didn't wake till 1am but then he didn't want to go to sleep again, so by 2.30am I had pulled out fution lay him down on it got blanket an dpillows and curled up beside him I feel bad as I fell asleep and I have no idea if he was awake for long.........anyway moving on

a bit about me

Rachel (31) DH Jason (32) met over the phone Ocvt 1999, officialy a couple new years eve 1999, moved to Moura and in together April 2000, got enagage April 2001 married Oct 6 2001, started TTC straight away, ectopic m/c Oct 2002, Katy Rose s/b 21 weeks Sept 23 2003 both conceived naturally, started seeing RE Nov 2004, missed m/c March 2005 (3rd cycle clomid) m/c 10 weeks Nov 2005 (3rd cycle clomid) and fell pg with Jack Jan 2006 (2nd cycle clomid) so Jack is a very much wanted and long awaited baby, 5th pg 5 years of trying 5 years of marriage

lets see Jase is a instrament fitter/electrician for the explosive plant in Moura, I was a chef finished up when we moved here, went back to work for 7 months last year, we plan on trying for one more baby, in 6 months, love living here so quiet and peaceful and best of all no family LOL so thats us in a nut shell

Anna been meaning to say dont think I am rude, haven't received the teats yet, when did ya say ya sent them???

Charleen yep Bilo has a target a country one indeed, is nothing huge but is ok for bargains etc

Rach - I posted off those teats the same day I e-mailed you! They really should be there by now I would've thought?

Happy Anni CAddie and Arron. Hope you both have a lovely night and DONT make baby number 3.hehehehe
Anna** - I cant believe how cute Xander is. Ever new pic that goes up makes me fall in love with him more and more.
Yay Sharleen on becoming a Plat chicki..I cant wait to see your avator either.
Hello to everyone else again. IM just so tired
later
xxmaz

okies, i just didn't want you to think iwas rude by not saying i got them, but you are in perth long way away i know it took my sister a week for one parcel to perth and anoth 3weeks sent same day

Maz theres no way baby 3 is on its way.Ya gotta have sexual relations first and we are just too tired! Glad wilhems appointment went as well as can be expected.What happens now?
The stories are interesting! It was a great idea.
Nelle havnt recieved anything yet but hubby checking the mail today so i wait till he gets home.The dummy i put in ruby hadnt used.I got 2 in a pack and she doesnt like any dummy so i have to take the crying.I thought it was pretty unique looking and i see babies in the usa have some similar when prem.
Aust post are taking a long time with parcels,mine are taking forever that i got from ebay.(more scrapping supplies)
I just had some friends over with their kiddies,millana is asleep and im still waiting for the delivery of my phone!!! Grrrr

Charli - nothing yet. I'm not suprised, postage is always delayed coming up here

maz - that's good that he's been diagnosed with those and you know what you're dealing with. Where do you go from here? I had a speech disorder up until I was 4 or 5. I simply could not talk. I went to a Speech Therapist for a few years and all cured now.

Hello to everyone else, love you all, but I've got to continue cleaning. Rellies coming tomorrow

maz- you and your son must be exhausted after such a long assessment! My nephew was diagmosed at 3.5 with medium autism, next month he'll be 5 and he's been reassessed as high functioning so all that early intervention has helped him so much, we are amazed at times at how far he has come. He still lags behind other kids his age in speech and social skills but has improved 1000%.

Pip- 10 hours! You lucky thing, that seems like something i can only dream about. Can't complain too much, Ashleigh usually gives me one long sleep, 5.5 hours.

*Belle*- Good to hear from you. Hope julia settles for you. Good luck with the baptism tomor. Still have to plan Ashleigh's.

Well i met up with my mothers group for coffee today. Was good to get together outside of the planned sessions we have. Gave us a good chance to get to know each other and just chat. They all seem really nice, we're going to try to meet regularly each friday. I'm very happy, was so nice to get out the house do normal things and can chat about our babies without boring anyone.

Yes Sharle, got it today! Will try it on tonight, haven't had a chance so far, just been one of those days with Mr. Grizzle here. Though he's asleep now, on his tummy in his cradle...which reminds me I should check on him.
Well, guess a moving mouth means he's alive. Probably dreaming about feeding :p

Glad it's all over Maz-a-mataz! What a relief.

Yeah Sharle (hey tell me off if you don't like that name, I'm such a nicknames person, but I'd hate to call you something you don't like, I hate that!) I'm thinking about going platinum too, when I get the baby bonus (they said within 28 days...but I'm assuming they say that to cover themselves if it's a bit slow, I'm praying for it to come FAST!! I want to spend money!!).
Do you get a say in what your avatar looks like?

Oh Maz, what a great idea to print off the stories, I love how different we are, we all have such different things to contribute, and how we can all be great mates and care about each other...ohh *sob sob* I love you guys! :p

Oh, should do my story hey!
Well, hmm. Nothing dramatic really, sorry guys!

I'm Nelle, married to my best friend Rans (Randall). He's 24 and I'm 22 (almost 23!)
I met him through his younger brother, who was one of my best friends. We started smsing each other Oct 02, started dating Nov 02, got engaged July 03, got married Feb 04! So we've almost been married 3 years now.
He works in pre-press in the printing industry, I still haven't finished my BSocSc - Youth Work! Partly because I failed lots of subjects cos I'm undisciplined, and partly because I studied part time while I worked as a youth worker. I guess when I've finished having kids, and the youngest is in school, I'll get back into it, or something else.
We don't own a house, and intend to start saving any day now...
I was on the pill, didn't realise how much it affected my sex drive, so after a break of two fun weeks, River happened, haha. We both want 3 or 4 kids (so far!)
What else...we live in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, I'm a Christian, I love frozen coke...actually I feel like one now...

nelle - you'll get to create your own avatar. Have fun with the design!

shell - It's good to get out and be normal again isn't it. Having said that though, I do go out almost everyday and meet either my mum or a girlfriend for lunch every second day! I love socialising ... staying at home bores me too much.

I agree, this is great getting to know everyone on more of a personal basis.

I was saying to Jase I wish there was a mothers group out here, so I could meet some mums I am so lonely, well in the little local free rag there was mention of one, but ti is all obout breatfeeding and nutrition it says it is informative get togethers, with the focus on breatsfeeding :(

why couldn't they just have a normal get together :(

well Jack and I just woke from a 2 hour sleep then had a shower together I think I got a smile when the water splashed on him *love* and now Jase is feeding him whil,e I am supposed to be fixing pizza for tea

so catch ya alll later

Well guys just a quickie and TMI territory.

There have been a few reasons I am not on here much at the moment. We are/have bought a block of land and I am busy dealing with lawyers etc and finding out info on buikding. Also dealing with insurance due to storm damage.
Plus TMI but for those who know Bella's birth story about 3rd degree tears, I have torn again. I had bee constipated, so had a huge poo and it tore open the scarring aroung my anus again, so I am in a bit of pain a every time no. 2 time comes I bleed heaps because I keep re-tearing. Although it is getting better now, except now I am getting an itchy ass LOL. But more embarassing I am having trouble controlling my wind again, thankfully no smelly slip ups. This last few days I am noticing it better under control. So at the moment I feel like I am dealing with both kinds of births as my c/s scar is extremely sensitive and feels bruised.

Thanks for the vent. BBL for personals.

Love

Owwww Helen :hug: HOW ANNOYING!!
How much does birth/babies muck us up!
I have nothing quite as bad, just owie nipples from thrush and I'm super irritated. I really hope it continues to heal and that you don't get too down about it.

Yow helen! i have heard and seen women with fistulas and such from child birth too,just watch some of us will have continant problems oneday! If any of you are redheads you have more chance of bladder problems due to less elastin in your genes than us! So do those pelvic floors.
I have a sore neck.I need a massage.
Anyways i bought hubby walk the line dvd so weill probably watch that tonight if ruby's not a turd!
Tata girlies!

:hugs: Helen

well I am too am suffering from both mybirths tonight too, it is raining so m y tailbone which I damaged during Katy's birth is palying up, and my c-scar is hurting as well :( real sore and yes feeling bruised as well

also I am getting sick I have the worse sore throat :( and I am cold and miserable so night all

Just popping in quickly to wish Belle all the best for Julia's baptism tomorrow.... we want pics!!!

Awwww thanks Maz - I reckon Xander is just scrummy, but as I am his Mummy I am allowed to be unashamedly biased!

It's comforting to hear that others are having issues with our bodies not being the same after birth. I still feel a bit bruised in the pelvis at times. Nothing serious or painful, but just there IYKWIM? Wow Caddie, I never knew that about redheads... that's really weird (but interesting). Hopefully we will all start feeling better again... or are things just never the same again?

Gotta fly, my little munchkin is a bit restless... better resettle him before he wakes properly.

BBL

Good morning all.
I hope everyone had a good night.
Caddie - did you watch the movie? was it good?
Helen - Owwie on the tear. You poor thing. big hugs
Anna - now you go and tease me and show me close up of Xander...ahhh I love baby boys.
Hello to everyone else.
Thank you again for all your support yesterday. NOw that we have the diagnoisis (spell $hit) we can get aid workers for WiLhelm for school and funding for items that may help him, eg, we recently got funding for a 3 wheeled bike for him cause he was using one at his special school adn we noticed the confidence boost he got from it. Since we got it, he decided that he no longer wanted to wear nappies. So it was a big plus fo rhim. I feel releived now and I dont feel as tense now. thank god.
Better go Elephant is calling...$hit!
LAter
xxmaz

Anna mate I gotta agree with Maz - Xander's a cutie! There sure are some cute kiddies in Sept buddies!

Let me share about last night:
Well, actually yesterday River was a bit of a pain (although I'm so much more forgiving since the choking scare) and he kept wanting to feed. Fed him at 12pm and then 2pm (he spewed heaps of his 2pm feed) and FINALLY got him to sleep at 4:30 - and then he slept til 10! Finished feeding at 11, he next woke up at 4ish, down at 5 til 9:30! Wow.
What sleeping! So he'll probably be a pain today too :)

Finally sorted out the Baby Bonus stuff out yesterday, they said 'within 28 days' but I'm guessing (hoping praying) that's just to cover themselves so we don't call them if it's a little slow.

I've just been chilling out, am more relaxed because I'm trying to trust Rans with River (as in not getting up with Rans to change nappies/settle 'just in case he needs some help' :p) and Rans doesn't leave him to cry too long because I can't sleep if he's wailing about something. And now the boys are hanging out in front of the xbox, and I'm still in bed with the laptop!

Apart from that, I don't really have anything to say, hope everyone's going to have a great weekend!

Morning all.

Our baby bonus and birth certificate didn't take too lon at all, I think Baby bonus maybe 2 weeks and Birth Certificate 3 weeks. Might vary from state to state.

maz- glad its all sorted and your getting that extra funding for Wilhelm at school and everything.

Helen.p- Ahh you poor thing! I hope that pain and suffering passes soon.

Rach75- Maybe you could advertise around to start a mothers group yourself? You could ask your MCHN about it and maybe ask her to see if other mothers with children close to Jack's age if they'd be interested.

jodi_lee- I'd love to go out for lunch's more often but being the first in my group of friends to have a baby means they are all at work and my mum also works full time so its me on my lonesome in the day!

So how much does it cost to go Platinum? I should look into it.
