Hi hope everyone is well. Maddie is having a sleep so I'm having some mama time - stuff the house cleaning!

Now I cant remember much from the previous thread...

Noni - You'd probably enjoy working you know, once you get into the flow of it, its not bad at all. Maybe you can get a job at a childcare center & then put Asha at the same center?

JG - Glad the braxton hicks have stopped.

Chrissy pesents: M will only be getting a couple of pressie from us this year. Her smart trike and something else. Christmas this year is going to be pretty quiet for us, as most of our family are off travelling and also because we have a wedding, honeymoon and Melb trip to save for.

Did anyone else see Renee's Bali pics on facebook? What a lucky duck.

Hi Everyone
Just caught up on posts and now can't remember personals. Sorry... Forgive me...

Not much going on our end. My mum is coming up tomorrow from Brissie for a few days and then I'm heading down there for a week. She was originally catching the train up and then she'd drive down with me to keep S entertained but then we got $10 fares on the tilt train so thought bugger the car. Shes bringing my 3 year old nephew up so figured she'd come up anyway.

Also, moving on this weekend. We get the keys on Sunday and the removalist is coming at 8 in the morning. Unfortunately, my train leaves about 10 ish so I'm not going to be much good at all. Heres hoping that Rory uses common sense when arranging placement of our furniture. Female common sense not male common sense. or should that be Mummy common sense not Daddy common sense. Either way, I'm in for a shock when I get home and see how it looks. Please wish me luck girls.

You've a brave woman Kate! Lucky for you it's a woman's prerogative to make her man keep moving the furniture until it's 'just right'. LOL

[Isadora]

Lol OH NO Kate, good luck I think you are going to need it!!

MD, for christmas I think I will get W a set of Baby Einstein DVDs. We don't have t.v and he hasn't been that keen when I show him dvds of Elmo, little people etc but DH showed him a Baby Einstein clip the other night and he loved it, waving about and pointing. They seem to have the little clips just long enough that he doesn't lose interest before it shifts to the next one. TBH I thought they were a bit of a have and I don't think it will turn him into a genius but I am hoping they will be a good filler for the end of the day when I have run out of ideas and am waiting for DH to come home lol. We will also get him some sort of outside toy - a wagon or little toddler climbing thing. That is probably all because he will get a few smaller things from the rest of the family. My aunt also had a crazy long labour and when they finally c-sectioned bub out they discovered she had a squarish pelvis and his head was all bruised from being squished against it.

JG, glad things have settled down re the BH's. I remember what a pain it was for you last time. Have you had the GD test yet?

Kate, well done at avoiding the moving! $10 trains fares are a bargain!

Pregpan, have you told your family yet?

Leanne, bummer about all the doctors visits, but great to hear that J is doing well in the poo department.

I have just ordered William's bed. I got a king single. I am going to start him having day naps in there when it arrives and hopefully move him into it for night sleeps after we have been away at christmas time. He is still waking about 4 times a night so I am not sure how it will go....

hi everyone!
well as youknow I dont do xmas but if i did i would be looking for an outdoor play equip set for the little man (little tikes make some good ones) and/or a smart trike! wow you get your babies a lot i must say - i am sure little N will be whingeing in the yrs to come when he sees all the other kids getting all these presents!! LOL!
at what age do we think about beds? well what stage I guess??? i am thinking N will move sometime in the next 6 months, but guess he has to be walking? he also still wakes most nights a few times so keen to hear how you go Arte. Lucky boy with a king single. also do you use sleeping bags in a bed?
JG glas things have settled down. How many wks were you when you went on bedrest with Hamish? Hope that doesnt happen again honey.
Arte - yep i have told my PIL and BIL/SIL and also, of course, my Mum and also my 2 best friends. no one else will know (aside from you guys) til 12 wk scan is done. it doesnt make dealing w the nausea/tiredness easy when no one knows whats up. and i am so bloated i reckon a lot of ppl think i have been indulging a little too much! I hope it happens for you soon, i am sure it will. xxx

JG, glad things have settled down re the BH's. I remember what a pain it was for you last time. Have you had the GD test yet?

I had the first BT at 14 weeks and result were great - no sign of GD. I still need to do the standard 28 - 30wk one as this is ususally when things change hormonally I was told. There is no way of telling either, my OB said she's had lot of 2nd time mums that arn't cursed with GD the 2nd time round. Im confident I'll be one of those !!

Preagainpan -Firstly I hope your MS is bearable atm sweet - it's tough hey ! And now to answer your question. I first went into pre-term labour at 28wks with Hamish and then again at 30 wks - both times were stopped with medication and a stay in hospital then I had to stop work and get as much bedrest as possible which then at times was changed to complete bedrest when things flared up again.

I had done a good job at forgetting how bad that part of the pregnancy was - except for the fact that that's wen I found you lovely ladies of course !!

Im hoping that I have just been overdoing things and all will calm down soon.

Sherie - How are you feeling ? Are you welcoming or dreading your upcoming surgery. I know sometimes the symptoms were so bad that you could actually look forward to the surgery as you needed the relief. I've been thinking of you dear.

Wishing you luck Kate......... Why can't I be busy when we moved...thats a great idea, furniture can always be re-arranged but moving sux majorly.

BTW you all might remember my ***** a few weeks back about the house we are renting being on the market - well it sold at auction for $25K less than the owners paid for it less than 12 months ago...... now just waiting to hear what the new owners intend on doing......Will I or won't I be moving with a 4 week old bubba ??

WOW this turned into a novel- ooppss !
