A bit of sad news. Love

:hugs: hope all is AOK

ETA: Also, I know Rach was adamant that Rocky was fine, but I'm hearing all these reports that the water's headed towards Rocky? Hope everything's fine anyway Rach.

seriously rocky has had way worse floods, the river is rising and yes some of the new walkways parks picnic areas are under water but nothing we haven't seen before, they dont expect it to get anywhere near the levels of 1991 flood which cut us off north and south

maz thinking of you and your family :hugs:

**Helen** · January 28th, 2008, 08:26 PM

:hugs:Maz and family, hoping that all is ok.

Well I am pretty sure that I have miscarried, I am still bleeding and I have BT and US tomorrow. Thank-you so much for all of your thoughts.

Love

Helen, I'm so sorry hon. I wish there was something we could do.

Take care.

Ambz mate, have that baby and get us a good news story!

All the best in this last little bit!

Those of you who went to the beach, that's great! We still haven't taken Riv...

Jodi that's awesome about the big girl bed.

Great that she likes it!

P.S it is my last week in NZ with my family so I am packing up and getting ready to fly across the Tasman, see you in Oz soon.

I'm a-sewing curtains today!

Well...to be fair...so far I've sat on my big ol heiny while mum's pinned...BUT I'm about to sew, honestly! We put Riv down for a nap, but I think that was a bit optimistic, considering we've taken his curtains! So, we'll just barge back in there, sew, give him lunch, and then hopefully he'll sleep.

How's everyone else doing? What are you up to today? We've had so much hard luck in here lately, but I'd love to know how everyone else is doing, even if it's boring!

I know one or two of Maz's close friends from the cloth nappy thread are checking on her today, so they'll keep us posted I imagine!

ETA: Wow Laurin! I keep forgetting to ask what the weather's like in NZ - I'd love to get to NZ sometime in my lifetime! Enjoy your last week there!

**shellbell3** · January 29th, 2008, 10:30 AM

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?

**Freya** · January 29th, 2008, 11:54 AM

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

**Marnikat** · January 29th, 2008, 12:11 PM

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,

**Visitor7** · January 29th, 2008, 12:16 PM

shell - bbq was really good yesterday. Nina and the other toddlers just ran and ran and ran! No wonder Nina slept so well last night.

annat - great to hear the b/f is going so well. Can't help you with Jett's sleeping habits though. Nina loves her drawing and painting. I have a chalk board/white board for her. So one side is a chalk board, the other side I have paper clipped up with some paints available for her. She'll spend hours drawing each day. Definitely worth looking at for Jett. He'll love it. I'm glad Nina's not the only one going through the terrible 2's. Most of the time she's good, but she certainly has her moments. And she only ever tries it on me, never on Daddy!!

Marni - welcome to our group! What is your DD's name?

**Marnikat** · January 29th, 2008, 12:35 PM

Hi Jodi!

My daughters name is Tiana Lynn.

**Nelle** · January 29th, 2008, 01:11 PM

Wow Shell, that's a nice productive day for you! Rans is going shopping after work for me, I've told him my grocery days are on hold til after the baby's born. Funny about the meat - she a bolognaise girl then?

Annat, Riv can spend almost an hour squealing, laughing, banging, playing until there's silence. As long as he's not sounding traumatised, I'll leave him - I figure even the 'down time' is good for him. He definitely has his days where he takes a while to wind down. He's definitely better if I catch his tired signs and put him down straight away.
Keep it up with the b/fing.

Welcome Marni! Tiana's a lovely name!

Haven't really tried Riv with the drawing yet! Should do that.

**Cougar** · January 29th, 2008, 01:32 PM

annat..it does get better believe me, just take one day at a time.
