MD, bummer about the liver results - no one ever told me that chocolate can be bad for you!!! I wouldn't like to see the state of my poor innards.
Gracie, yip, I had GD. It was the bane of my existance. It was actually really horrible, I struggled to find low GI things that I could eat so had nil variety, was always hungry because I had to stick to allowed portion sizes and had to wait 2 hours after meals before I could eat again cos I had to test my blood sugar. I did keep it very well under control with diet and insulin though and W was an average 8 pounder. I recall that we were both hoping for natural births and I suspect that you were about as happy with yours as I was with mine? If I can keep my sugars as controlled as I did with W then next time I will refuse induction. It just gets so hard to fight against all the medical people, especially as a first timer. On the bright side, I was back to my pre-baby weight after 6 weeks (took another 5kgs to fit my pre-preg clothes though)
Trill, poor P, hope she is feeling better tomorrow
Cally, K sounds like she is loving daycare, must be a load off your mind
Last night W hadn't woken by the time we were going to bed so we slept in the spare bed to not wake him (hoping he would sleep through). I heard him crying a couple of hours after we went to bed and got up to go to him and realised the crying was coming from the wrong end of the house - poor thing must have climbed out of bed and gone searching for me! I found him walking through the kitchen sobbing. Hope he wasn't calling to me for too long before I heard him.
Went out on the boat today, W has so much fun on the beach. We got him some little croc's shoes (stole the idea off Ozstar - cute pics BTW), they are great for playing in water and sand.

OK well maybe i have been overstating the chocolate thing. It's actually more prolly because I'm a fattie. BUT I've been a fattie for a long time and never a sign of anything like this so I suspect it's a combination of getting older, the upheaval of pg, and all the medication I chewed my way through for a few months there.
They don't even properly know what causes gallstones but apparently there are 4 Fs - Fat, Fertile, Female and Forty (or thereabouts). So Trill your mum would've been in the ideal demographic (like me). I also read they are pretty common after pg and childbirth. Anyway I really need to get off my own case and stop blaming myself and just concentrate on the healthy lifestyle that's going it better.
Speaking of which, has anyone seen the Spring Valley Sensible ads? I saw one yesterday and cracked right up because the little dude looks just like a liver. PMSL
Arte - poor W walking around the house! I'm sure he wasn't up for very long before you heard him!
Clare LOL at poo in sandpit. The first of many such moments I'm sure.
-
arte- the gd thing sounds bad! i've gotta do my test for that in a few weeks, fingers crossed i don't have it. did they induce you early because they thought he was going to be big? sorry to ask so many questions, it's just that i've got a few decisions to make this time. yes, i did want a natural birth but i'm not angry with myself for not having one in the end considering the particular circumstances iykwim?
leanne- pink concert sounds great, you lucky duck.
sherie- it's weird cos i did actualy go swimming yesterday morning and my hayfever was good all day until about 5pm. weird!?yes i'm really hoping bfing is better cos i've done it before. fingers crossed.
-
MD- Gall stones are no fun for anyone, and you are right, don't beat yourself up about it. At least you have an answer and can focus on that healthy lifestyle you are talking about. ;) That liver of yours will be tip top in no time!
R- Lu has a fever and conjunctivitis today, i seriously hope she wasn't contagious yesterday. a million apologies if L is sick. :(
Arte- Poor Little W, thought he lost his family!
Leanne- i am very jelous of your pink tickets. so much 'tude', love it. Wish i was going!
Trill- :rofl: i bet he'll be back in the wee hours asking for his birthday bonk!
Poor Lu has the gunkiest eyes, tried squirting a bit of BM in them, but not sure how effective it was! Perhaps i should have hand expressed and not just aimed. :lol: Got a Dr's app in the morning. She has a temp in the 39's and is miserable, poor little tyke.
-
omg ange! i am freaking out now, is she ok??
when did she start getting sick?
-
Well, my headache is persisting. I really must go to optometrist to get my eyes checked. I'm thinking its an eye strain headache.
Sarah face planted on the concrete today and has the biggest fat lip ever! She has split the front of her top lip as well as two splits inside her top lip. She had blood spurting everywhere...even out her nose. :o I was so upset that I didn't catch her in time. I know that its to be expected and normally I don't stress over her bumps etc but OMG this one was horrendous. She calmed down fairly well especially with a boobie treat. Not really due for one but she didn't say no (not that she could have gotten any words around the swelling :doh:)
I'm off to bed early again tonight...hurts too much keeping my eyes open. I wonder if its like a migraine. Never had one before so have no idea...I know light sensitivity is one sympton and I'm definately squinting through the lights. Although, I'm coping with looking at the computer monitor...not great but dealing with it.
Anyhoo, enough pity me...hope we all have great nights!!
-
Don't freak out! She's ok. Prob just got a virus, but i'm taking her to Dr's to get onto the conjunctivitis. When they have a snotty nose, if they rub it in their eye they can get conjunctivitis, so my friend told me. So hopefully she got snotty and rubbed her eyes after seeing you guys! lol (It is highly contageous though. :o)
Eye looked like it had a little sleep in it this am, and by lunch there was a litle goop in one eye, by dinner, goop was in both eyes, all through eye lashes and eyes were red. Temp started around lunch time, was 39.5 at 5pm.
Really though, it is nothing too serious, just a bit of snot out of control. moral of the story: don't let the littleman rub snot in his eyes!
-
are you sure it wasn't just sauce and ice cream in her eyes?
-
:rofl: probably! But then i think the ice-cream bowl licker would have it too!
-
omg ladies i cant keep up!!!
just wanted to jump on and give biiig hugs to you MD.. my friend is 21 and had 9 gallstones removed about 2mths after her second baby so dont feel bad :)
anyways gotta go as its late ill try and jump on tmw as i have a baby free day :)
-
Awww thanks Noni. :hug: Looking forward to hearing how much you're loving your Wiii!
-
Hi lovely ladies..........I so wish I had more time to join in the fun here.
MD - Hope you are able to feel better soon. - what will they do, surgery soonish ?? Sounds painful dear.
Falguni - Hope Lu's eye get better quickly, does it seem to be bothering her much ?
My brain is not working (yes I know AGAIN) so that's all the personals I can muster.
We are heading up north this afternoon after we collect Georgia from school. She was 6 during the week so headed to Port for a party tomorrow with the dozen cousins :dance:
Made the bestest cupcakes last night, with metallic pink and purple papers and going to decorate them with fondue butterflies and hearts tomorrow. She'll have a cupcake tower as her b'day cake - much easier to transport 2.5 hrs .
Hope you all have a great weekend and catch you next week xx xx
-
Ange - Hope Lu is better today? You didnt go swimming did you, because I know conjunctivitis can be spread in the swimming pool (according to the swim school instructor anyway!).
Rainy - How did L go, hope he isnt coming down with a bug too.
Noni - What did you do on your baby free day? Thats great that your mum has her set days.
JG - The cupcake tower sounds like a good idea, enjoy!
Kate - Poor S, does she look bruised and battered today? I'd be freaking out with all that blood. M had a rough fall yesterday as well on the bitumen at the end of the driveway. Has a huge graze/bruise on her forehead.
Arte - Awww thats so cute that W got lost looking for you at night. The croc shoes are great for kids. We have a pair somewhere from grandma, but they are too big atm.
Trillian - Lol I got out of the birthday bonk this year as well, only because he wasnt feeling well haha.
Leemar - I am going to Pink too. How exciting, I love her! Do you like her new song? I always crank it up loud when it comes on the radio. I need to get her new cd.
Clare - LOL at the suprise in the sandpit!!!!!
Little M has got a cold at the moment, we've both had poor sleep over the past couple of nights. She just wakes up coughing & coughing and her nose is driving her nuts. Hate it when she is sick, I feel helpless!
-

JG- hope you see some pics of the cupcakes they sound yummy.
Kate- hope S is ok
-
Noni - glad you are enjoying the Wii
MM - Hope Mads feels better soon, it's awful when they are sick. K has a bit of a cold at the moment and I have everything crossed that it doesn't turn into something more.
Ange - how is Lu going? K's eyes are a bit gunky at the moment too, but they aren't red.
JG - Enjoy your weekend away, the cupcakes sound fab!!
MD - that's not good about the gallbladder - when are they going to take the stones out? Hae fun at the fete tomorrow.
Leemar - have fun with the monster trucks tomorrow, I'm sure the boys will love that!!
Last night DH was out at a school function and I stayed up late watching a trashy movie. So I was all relaxed and ready to just hop into bed - then had to deal with the pile of cat vomit in the bedroom doorway!! Not impressed. At least DH removed the frog that was next to the bed when he got home and I didn't have to deal with that too!
Well I am getting my hair done tomorrow and am looking forward to 3 hours of quiet time reading trashy magazines. Then I will meet DH and K at the cricket and we're going to go and play on the playground (the cricket field is next door to the primary school so there is heaps of things to play on)
-
Cally: eeeeeew cat vomit...nothin' like it huh? he he he!
Noni: hhmm maybe i should get one of those...do they help in preventing 'tuckshop arms'??? i have this fear that i may develop them LOL!.....
PP: please keep up the new bub chatter! i need to live vicariously through you! esp if you see robson!
darn it! need to go DH just arrived and 'needs' to use the internet.
BBL
-
Cally look on the bright side, at least you didn't find it with your foot! EEeeew! I forgot to ask how many hours you're working, fulltime? Enjoy your relaxy morning!!
Clare, what's tuckshop arms...Is that the The Flap???
Noni, I hope you enjoy your Nutrimetics thing, they have lots of nice fruity smelling things. :) Tell all your guests to spend lots so you can have some nice freebies.
Kate, how's S going? The blood is horrible. Good thing is it heals pretty quickly on the face. Good idea to go to the optometrist, that fixed my headaches one time. The other time is was an impacted wisdom tooth so get that checked next if the eyes aren't the problem.
Ange how is L going? Sometimes they get Junkyeyetis because the little tubes that run between the eye/ear/nasal passage are blocked from congestion and once they're blocked the bacteria can grow. DD1 often had Conjunct but it turned out at the drs that she had an ear or throat infection and the Conjunct was secondary to that. Agree though that limiting snot smearing is a good thing!! LOL
Leanne you could rock on with my Sis who is a total Pink NUT. hehe girl power.
MM hope M is feeling better and you get some sleep!
Thinking of Andie and wondering how you're getting on hun. :hug:
OK better go, xxx to all, have a great w/end ladies.
