Yeah I've been keeping up with updates in the other thread.

Helen- So sorry you're having a hard time, I'm really hoping and praying that is just a bleed rather than a m/c you know like how some people still get AF when preg. Good luck with the tests today, I'm thinking of you.

Nelle- Well so far today I have been grocery shopping, cooking Ash up batches meat and blending them up, she'll spit it out if its not blended. And then I have mums group this arvo so very exciting day.

Ambz- oh how excititng, not long at all. Can't wait to hear the news.

Laurin- wow, its come so quickly you finally moving back here, we'll def have to all meet up at some stage, we are a bit slack at planning these things though!

Jodi- How was the BBQ yesterday?

Ness- How is your aunty doing these days? I was watching start Dr Phil and they had couple where the woman had been diagnosed with MS, made me thing of your aunt.

AnnaT- How's everything going with you and having 2 littlies?

Im here Shell, just lurking as I dont have alot of time lately for much of anything (hence why my house looks like the local garbage tip!).
Ive just been logging on to keep track of Maz and Annie. Im sorry to hear about both situations, please know Im praying for you both

All I can say is Shell - stick with one kid No really some days I wonder why I had another one when the first was so easy and independent now, but mostly I just cant wait for this baby stage to be O-V-E-R. Jett completely spoilt us by being an awesome, easy going baby - although Ripley is lovely he is needy and cranky which adds about 10 extra hours onto my day *sigh* I think he might have reflux or colic or something because he has some beautiful moments and periods (like right now) where he settles/sleeps fine and I can have a life, but mostly its waaaaaaaahwaaaaaaaaaaaaah even though he's fed, changed, burped, hugged etc etc He also makes choking sounds, esp after a feed, like he's brought something up and swallowed it back down. He is cute though and I just love him. He's gotten so big already, a month old tomorrow

As for Jett, well I think we're hitting the Terrible Twos a few months early. He's generally good but geez the temper tantrums and attitude when he doesnt like Mama asserting her authority ('Go away Mummy" is what I hear alot) He loves his 'baaaaby Rippy' though, if I had a $1 for everytime I said "Jett dont touch baby!" Id be richer than James Packer He loves on him all day and tries to put his dummy in his mouth when he cries, so cute. He's in care 2 days a week now because I think he's getting bored at home, esp because atm I cant spend hours playing with him. He drew his first picture at care on friday, Dh was super proud and stuck it on the fridge. Guess its time to get some pencils and a colouring book.
He is being a pain about naptime now though, it takes an hour for him to stop whinging and go to sleep even though he's dead tired - not like him at all. Anyone else having the same problem?

Just a little woohoo for me - tomorrow Ripley will be 4wks old and is also the point where I gave up b/feeding Jett and switched to formula full time. This time - no formula has been used and b/feeding is still going great guns Im so happy. I just wanted to make it this far and I have, even though its been real tough.

Hope everyone else is having a good day! Id better go have some lunch and Im making a lasagne for dinner so I need to get cracking on that while its quiet on the front

Hi,

I am new to these forums and was just hoping to join your group. My daughter was born on September 22, 2006.

She is doing all the normal things, walking, talking, throwing tantrums!

Hope to talk to everyone soon,
