Yep Maz - there are def a few very busy mummies in this thread now.

[caddie]

Well i am a busy girl but i will still say hello!
Ive had millanas gym today and then school. But the gymnastics teacher thinks millana is really good and said if she was 4 or 5 would put her in a special class. I felt quite chuffed.But as long as she wants to do it i wont push her.
I am so busy because im making stuff my stall and store. Im hoping to open my store monday! So stay tuned.
O k better go and find something for dinner.Fried rice tonite.
Maz did you get my email? I might ring you tommorow arvo if its easier than writing me an email.

Good on Millana!!!

Now I finally have time to do a proper post.

J had his needle today. He was pretty good, but has been very upset this arvo. Not sure if it was from the needles or just because...

Anyway we have had to make an appointment to see a paed, as J will need a small operation. He has a umbilical granuloma. He has had it from birth, but it needs to be surgically fixed. He also has some strange sinus issue, where pus is oozing from what I thought was a dimple on his neck. So that also needs to be operated on to fix. Hopefully both procedures can be done at once. Anyway it won't be happening till we get back from our trip.

My mum had a mastectomy today, as she is a breast cancer survivor. She has decided that she wanted the other breast removed so that there is no chance of the cancer returning. Now she has 2 fakies with implants. I haven't visited her today as she is still really groggy, but I will go in tomorrow. It will be a fairly lengthy recovery of at least 3 weeks. So I have been busily cooking so that they have some tasty meals.

I hope everyone else in Vic has enjoyed the sunshine today. We did. We spent the afternoon playing outside.

Hi ladies

just a quick update...

Back to the doctors again today..Tiarna not doing very well.. not sleeping and crying in pain so much. she is up every half an hour and just cant stay asleep.
Left her and Savanna with my aunty and went with Steve to docs.
She has now been put on 5mls of Losec a day...Anyone had bubs on this before?? need as much info as i can get.. im soooooo at my wits end. She has both acid reflux and Colic.
Been given a referral for a Paed for Tiarna but only appointment is in a month!!!!
So gotta wait for that...

I have been put on Zoloft for yep .. pnd and anxiety
I guess i need them otherwise i wouldnt of been given them.
Please keep us in your prayers because i really am so scared and worried. my poor bubs always in pain and i feel helpless...
Also got the pill today.. ive never been on it and im sooooooo scared of falling pregnant. Im hopeless with taking pills and meds i always forget. i wanted depro-vera but she wouldnt give it to me while im on zoloft. oh well just gotta remember to take it!

Annat- im so sorry to hear about your loss hun but best of luck TTC number 3 .

i hope everyone is doing well and bubs and toddlers are behaving

Love ambz

J was on Zantac not Losec, but it did make a difference.

I was on Zoloft. I found it really helped. Belle had some terrible side effects from it, so she swapped to something else.

Did you try the Northpark mother/baby unit? I stand by it was the best thing I could have done. There is also a mother/baby unit in Werribee. If you PM me where you live, I will do some research to find something in your area. Also I still say speak to PANDA. They were awesome. They were the ones that referred me to Northpark.

take care xxx

:wave: everyone thought I would check in an say hiya

all is good here, Jack had his 18mth check and is 13kg and 84.5cm so a nice big boy he passed all the bit and bobs the only thing is apparently I dont spend enough time building towers or tellign him the parts of his body glad child health clinic is now a thing of the past

we ended up not getting the chicken pox vaccine he will either have it with his 4yr needles or the year after but definatly before he goes to school ...

meg big :hugs: for your mum, Jack has thing with his belly button but nobody will look at it till he is 2 yrs poor J

Caddie go milanna

not a lot else happening had a absolutly excellant day, my friend is on school holidays so been spending time catching up she can round yesterday with her little man so Jack and little girl had a great time playing with him..then today Jack myself, and her and her boy went out for brunch to a little chocolate/coffee shoppe we have here, we spent 2 hrs gas bagging away and I have to boast OMG Jack was the absolute best just sat in his stroller chatting away and flirting with anyone and everyone, I felt a bit bad for my friend as her fella was being quite bold I hate when people say to their kids why can't you be like so and so etc, but he was tired so it was ok...tomorrow mums group are coming here, theres only 5 of us now and 3 are pg with #2

as for TTC we are plodding along only have the chance to use clomid once more before RE wants us to look at other options he said if we aren't pg by june he will get us to come in for more testing do another SA on Jase but have IVF clinic do it as their labs are better I told him we dont want to go IVF he said there a few other avenues we can explore etc its not necessary

anyway hope this finds everyone well
