Babies Born September 2006 #97

[Nelle]

Hey girls! Just popping in, posted in the announcements thread too with a tad more info, just thought I'd report in to say I'm here now I have the chance - Silas sleeping in my arms, just waiting for him to wake for a feed.
Thanks so much for posting Shell, yeah I did get your message but not straight away you cheeky lady, I didn't check my phone for awhile after that.

No good about your zoo trip Shell - is it going to rain or something? If it's just going to be cold...well, we went to Healseville Sanctuary on a HOT day, and I reckon that sort of thing would be much more enjoyable on a cold day - you can rug up heaps and it'll be less busy, whereas on a hot day, you just swelter with a grumpy baby and nothing you can do!

Oh no Helen. Can you grab something from a pharmacy? Does licorice really help? I just thought it turned your poo green - like fruit loops.

Wow Annat, waiting to see how that retest goes for you. You will be fine mate, and if you're not, you're smart enough to seek help. Which is why you'll be fine.

That might have to be it for now, I'll try pop in when I can though!

[**Helen**]

Nelle-Just about to check out the other thread, great to see you back in here. The licorice was more of a want to eat, plus I had an excuse to Leith to buy some, but I have got some Kiwi fruit in the fridge aswell.

Shell-Thanks for the info re the pear juice. Thinking about it I could really drink some of that, it would go down nicely.

Love

Nelle- Great to hear from you, just read your story in the other thread and omg the drama! Think your birth story could be re-enacted for tv! Glad everything has settled now and you've made it back home. How is Si going with BFing now? So your still bleeding alot? They gonna keep close eye on you?

Helen, I love the pic in your sig. so cute in that carrier.

[Nelle]

The bleeding's settled, think being cleared out by the doc helped a lot - though as b/fing improves, the bleeding and cramps have upped a bit, but I'm trying to see that as an encouraging sign that Si is feeding well. I'm just favouring the less sore boob and expressing from the other for this arvo/tonight to give it a rest, and then I'll start back up again tomorrow - courage, courage, and clenching of teeth will be needed for that nipple methinks.

Oh yeah Helen, definitely get stuck into the Kiwifruit, mum and dad have a vine (technically theirs are Chinses gooseberries, but they're exactly the same, just skinner), and yeah, I remain untouched by them, but I remember Dad can only eat 2 at a time.

Great to *see* you in here so quickly after Silas was born!

Helen - Hope you are feeling better soon.

Shell- Do you need me to get anything from Spotlight for you? I am going to be near Spotlight tomorrow, and I will be in Altona on Thursday. So if you do want me to get anything for you, I could leave it with my friend in Altona and you could pick it up after work one day.

How is everyone else going?

Laurin - Has the news of a new bub sunk in?

AnnaT - Your new is just awesome!

Rach, Caddie, Jodi, Maz, Annie, Belle, Rikki, Ness, Kell, Chrissy, Shar, Marni, *anna*... and I am sure that I have forgotten someone!!!

[shellbell3]

Meg- Thanks for the offer, our main prob is just finding material in right color and thickness. My friend is just gonna keep looking.

Nelle- That brought back memories of first BFing, I used to get the worst cramps so bad at times it felt like labour all over again. So Si must be feeding well.

[Boo Boo]

I think the morning sickness has kicked in, I woke up at 3 am and vomited twice and then once more this morning - is it normal to vomit in the middle of the night.....I have got an appointment at the doctors on Friday anyway.

Nelle - that's the great thing about bf'ing it helps the uterus get back into shape quickly, all those pains are the uterus contracting back - yucky at the time though. What does Riv think of the new bub?

AnnaT - any more news, I am looking forward to you being my belly buddy. When I first tested the lines were very very very faint, and three days later you could see them clearly.

Shell - not a good day for the Zoo it is a real blustery day isn't it. Great you got your bridesmaid dress sorted, one thing to tick off the list.

Helen - hope your feeling better.
BBL - have a nice day girls, if your in Melb keep warm.

Tested again this morning with a Crystal Clear test and got a faint line. I just dont know what to think though, past experiences are making me nervous and worried so I wont be happy til AF goes MIA and I get a dark BFP *sigh* Id say Im pregnant though because Ive got cramps, my boobs are sore, I feel nauseous and Im biting the head off anyone who looks at me, so I reckon we will be BB Laurin
