Clare sending huge hugs your way. I hope you and L can get a good nights sleep.
Ange I have the yummiest choc slice here, a client bought it with her today.......bless her.
Cally I hope K's ear is better soon.
Nella sounds like you were tired. Hope you got my PM.
Andie have a good time away.
Noni woo hoo on the Avon, sounds like your doing really well. Will have to remember to PM you about catching up for Christmas.
Pap where are you? Hope all is well with you an N.
To those who asked I try to book my jobs in for when Logan is asleep at lunch time and do the belly shots at night so that the DH's can come and be in the pics too.
My sister is coming up tomorrow, I cant wait. The weather has been beautiful so we will take L swimming and do loads of shopping. Well I am off to finish editing some pics.
Andy - enjoy your break - you deserve it, catching up with friends will be nice.
No biting here ATM - But Im sure I've just spoke too soon, he did however pull my hair for the first time yesterday and given that it reaches my waist I was in a tangled mess in seconds. Yes it is frustration........ not them being naughty but geez that can be hard to remember while there doing whatever it is you don't want them to do. Distraction works well with hamish for now anyway.
Well looks like we will be moving soon. Perhaps before christmas The house sold at auction and the new owners want to move in ASAP, we can stay till our lease is up in April but figure its better to move now before Im too big and comfortable and get settled b4 bubs arrives too. Then only one more move into our new home (June /July). I have told Joel that I will never be leaving that house, I will die there - thank goodness it's large enough to cater for our growing family and the future etc......
Off to the OB this afternoon - wonder what she'll say about the painful BH starting again ?? Hopeful she can give me something to help.
Cindy, LOL at you not wanting to move ever again. I completely understand (and I shudder at the thought of packing up this house with all our stuff).
Clare, how did she go last night? Poor little mite.
Noni, I used to be a dental nurse in a past life and we did a procedure called a Frenectomy quite a bit on kids who were getting braces where that bit of tissue (called a frenum) that connects the lip to the jaw is removed. It is usually done with a local in the dentists chair, but it may not be a problem for her.
I can't remember what's been said now.
Oh, the cake didn't turn out as good as I first thought - it looked fine but when I cut it, it wasn't quite done and the middle part of the cake looked like a baked custard. It still tasted yummy, but it's better as a dessert cake with loads of really thick cream/icecream If I had of left it in for another half hr it would have been fine.
So yesterday I had my dermo appt and all was fine - great even. Liver and Kidneys are fine and are showing no ill-effects from the medication and all other bloodwork was normal. So we are upping my dose to 5 tablets a week and I go back in January. He was really pleased with the way it is responding to the MTX.
Did loads of Christmas shopping and only have the IL's and DH's brother and sister to go, but I know what I have to get for them, we just ran out of time yesterday to do it. We decided to hold off on getting Lindsay his motorbike till his birthday though, so I got him a DS Lite instead, which I know he covets LOL. Also got some clothes for me and the boys too (well just PJ's for the boys - love Myers PJs for kids). I also got a new christmas tree and decorations too. So we are all kitted out for Christmas now.
And with the charming behaviours that some of our children are showing Alister is a headbutter - if he can't get his own way he will throw a tantrum and headbutt you if he is being held, or he will bang his head on the floor, or walls or whatever. Not all that hard, but sometimes he does do it hard enough to make him cry. So I just tell him no and put him down if I am holding him or just walk away from him if he is already on the floor etc.
Elisabeth keeps walking around the house with clothes on her head LOL. Oops she just walked into the table.
Trill, good to hear your results are so good. Are you having your lap done this week (fri)? Woowee on the new Christmas tree! Is it up yet or do you wait until closer to Christmas?
JG - bummer on having to move before Christmas. I feel your pain. xx
Katie you must be a very well organised mumma!
Cally and Ange -commiserations on the biting. Luckily none of that here but I'm sure all our bubs will develop "choice" behaviours at some point.
Clare oh you poor thing. I hope L turns the corner really soon and you both get a big catch up sleep. xxx Let us know how she's going.
Leanne how are the Chrissy preps coming along? I'm glad you're feeling better.
AFM - well had a mini crisis yesterday when I realised it's December and I haven't put my Uni application in. How EMBARRASSMENT. Anyway a couple of phone calls yesterday and an express post satchel and it should be OK. Still I'll be ever so nervous until I get the letter all the same. What a ninny.
hey everyone,
asha slept in this morning which was lovely, but when i went into her room it really stunk and when i checked her shed done a huge really runny poo that was coming out the top of her nappy eeeeeek.. i think she might actually have a bug because i changed one like that yesterday but i thought it was probably just the big amount of yoghurt she ate for breaky spose it probably wasnt now ughh..
did anyone else feel majorly thirsty in pregnancy?? ive been feeling like i just cant get enough to drink and am starting to worry about GD again.. its been wuite hot here but im not usually like this i just feel like my outh is constantly dry and i usually have a headache like i havent drunk enough hmmm..
oh and what are the pregnant ladies planning to eat at christmas?? i posted another thread about this but thought id ask in here too.. i dont really eat meat except for chicken and mince lol so usually at chrissi its bbq chicken and salads but seems that could pose a listeria risk??
md - asha does that too with the clothes, she manages to get them over her head sometimes n walks around with mine or dps clothes on like a sash lol its cute.. hope the uni app will be ok
trill - thats great news re the results!!
jg - goodluck with the moving and the ob appointmen! hope she can help you out with the painful bh
katie - have fun with ur sis and swimming
clare - hope l slept better for u last night
hi to everyone else ashas finished her breaky so i better go
noni- for xmas, i think we'll be having turkey and vegies/salad. as it's all homemade salads then i feel like it's safe to eat iykwim? i don't eat red meat at all and only eat turkey once a year at xmas.
i've actually gotta do my gd test at 28weeks which starts tomorrow, ggrrrr. i'll probably do it on monday sometime i think.
with the thirst thing, i was really thirsty in the 1st trimester too, with both pgs. i don't seem to be so bad now.
my dad just came up for a visit and bought us a pretty iron spice rack for the kitchen, he's so cute, always buying us little pressies.
i think i might go shopping this arvo as i'm bored.
hey rainy im here, dont know where everyone else is tho..
yeh i dont eat turkey either haha and we have about 5 chrissi gatherings to go to at diff peoples houses ahhhhhhh.. so hard but yeh i spose we might have to tell people otherwise im gonna look like im starving myself coz there will be nothing i can eat and people wont understand why lol...
good to hear you were really thirsty too i didnt have it with Asha but i was worried i had it this time because of gd really hoping to avoid that this time i was only over the test by like 1 point or something it was so annoying coz then they treated me differently when really i never had a bad reading... and they *****ed ashas feet so many times testing her sugar that for a couple of months she actually hated anyone touching her feet i know compared to what some people and bubbie go through its nothing and i shouldnt winge but i cant help it lol..
Just been shopping and managed to strike another six ppl from the 'need a gift' list. Doing well considering I hate christmas shopping alone !!
Have appt at 3pm with agent for new home (hopefully) can't wait to see inside as outside looks awesome.
Then OB at 4pm, then clinets coming over for wedding consult at 7pm. Today has been scary busy but very productive indeed.
Yes rainey we are building a house - two storey, 5 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms etc - So I will never have to move again I tell ya (room for the kids, then their friends and the IL's when they get too old to live alone) the future is all sorted and Im staying put I tell ya !! Can you tell how much Im looking forward to moving !!!!!! LOL
Gotta go or I'll be late.
Im at work for the next two days - thurs is my first days at coroner's court - wish me lucky, very daunting !
i had bbq chicken for lunch Nonie! As long as it is freshly cooked and stored appropriately it should be fine. If you are concerned you could always just heat it up to remove any risk. i also eat salad all the time, just not pre-made deli type ones. You could always take your own salad you have made so you know everything was washed.......
Noni, don't be surprised if A is sensitive about her feet for a long time to come. My DD1 never let me brush or do her hair for years and years, her poor scalp is so sensitive. It took me a few years before the penny dropped that it was from her birth - they tried to break my waters over a dozen times before they realised her head was in the way and no liquid was going to come out. Then it took them 4 goes to get the scalp monitor in. No wonder, poor chook.
LOL at Christmas day lunch...I sooooo don't know what I'm going to eat (can't have any fat or it sets off an attack and that includes oil in salad dressing, etc). I might have to BYO frozo lean cuisine or something. And I know we'll get zillions of dinner invitations as soon as we get to Adel. It could be worse, we could be starving for real in Ethiopia or Somalia or somewhere.
Rainy, that's gorgeous your dad bringing you pressies all the time, spice rack sounds nice.
JG - are you planning a large family? 5 bedrooms!! I guess there will always be room for guests. Good luck with the house hunting.
Hi everyone sorry I didn't pop in earlier L and I went to playgroup this morning..
JG good luck with the moving. Hope the inside was as nice as the outside! How'd the OB appt go? What do you do at the CC?
Noni hope you find something to eat!
MD good luck with the uni app. What're you going to study?
Katie yes I got your PM I'll let you know when we're ready thanks
Thats about all I can remember for now.. I have a killer headache! I'm taking a HPT tomorrow or Thursday and I'll be very surprised if its not a BFP I'll definately off to the gp if its not!
Clare - Poor L so sorry to hear of your nightmare week. Hope L is on the mend now?
Rainy - Sounds like the tiredness that comes with pregnancy is really starting to hit now. You need extra sleep when you are utd, so good I am glad you yelled at your DP!
Nella - Wow that is exciting, hope you get a bfp!
Trillian - Lol at the headbutting! Little terror.
MD - Good luck with the uni application, you should be fine right? How far are you through your course?
Noni - Glad to hear avon is going well. Little bit of extra money in your pocket! I am so excited for you, have you told the news to family yet?
JG - I am envious of your house!! Are you a wedding planner?
Cally - Glad you got some antibiotics, I've found that they work really fast so now that you've caught the ear infection in its early stages you should be right.
Falguni - I also have a bully child! She bopped a baby on the head with a toy the other day, I didnt know what to do! She slaps me as well when frustrated.
I had to go down to the children's hospital with M today. Her ear has been discharging since the weekend. Yesterday it seemed to stop, but when I collected her from daycare it was discharging again and the girls mentioned it to me. I called the doctor, but do you think I can get an appointment!? They advised me to go down to the hospy, so off we went. Turns out she had an infection that built up, and basically exploded, she has a perforated eardrum! Dont I feel like a bad mother!? So we've got some drops, but I am sad that it got to this stage and that I should have picked up her ear infection earlier. I am also worried about whether it will affect her hearing.
To top it off I have been feeling awful! Yesterday I just felt so tired and had a sore throat, next thing a temperature and dizziness. Last night I felt so weak, DP got me some panadol for the temp and next thing I was sweating like crazy. I'm hot and then cold. Its TERRIBLE and I am scared that M will be next in line, as DP brought this one home from work.
Awwwww H don't feel bad, she may not have shown a lot of symptoms of having an ear infection and when they are grizzly from teething, you just can't pick it sometimes. One thing I do know about perforated eardrums though is that they do heal well so she should have no issues with hearing. Fingers crossed that she doesn't get the lurgy though.
OOOOOHHHHHH Nella! Fingers crossed for you too my dear - would be so exciting if you got a BFP too!
Gosh MD, that is a real dilemma isn't it? The one time of the year where it is next to impossible to avoid fatty and rich foods and you can't eat any of it. Maybe you could suss out if they are serving salads at all if you do get invites and then you can make your own to take to guarantee there isn't any fat. But I will let you live vicariously through me though
Cindy, you did well with the shopping. I did start to get a bit frustrated yesterday with all the bloody dawdlers in the aisles! I mean come on people! how hard is it to pick wrapping paper? Seriously there was this one woman who was just standing there staring at the paper, then she would pick one out, have a close look and put it back and get another one and start again. Plus she wasn't going to move her trolley so anyone else could get in either.
Hey Ange! So how are things down your way? Are you a Harvest Widow at all?
Noni, don't worry about GD - its more likely that your thirst is just because you're a bit dehydrated than anything else. Just make sure you keep the fluids up - take a glass of water to bed too.
I just feel sooo terrible about it all. To think that the horror night we had last week, I had assumed was teething (which probably was to an extent due to her 4 molars coming through) but it was probably more that her ear had become really badly infected. The poor thing must have felt really bad. DP just went and got her some pain stop medication, so we will see how that goes. We feel SO bad!! On another note I managed to get a doctors appt tomorrow and wondering whether I should keep it? I might just keep it and go down and see our doctor, she is very thorough and genuinely cares for little bubbas, whereas I'm sure the hospital have given me the right stuff for her ear but they are so busy I waited two and a half hours to speak to a doctor for 5 minutes. They kinda shove you in and out iykwim. We are off to Melb next week so I want it sorted. Maybe I am just being paranoid?
MD - I felt sorry for you reading how you are going to have to avoid naughty foods. Christmas is a day of stuffing yourself silly lol!
Trillian - I so know what you mean about isle hoggers! And for wrapping paper, thats ridiculous. We usually buy the stuff on special and dont pay much attention to whats on it, as long as its christmassy!
Rainy - Oh no hope L is ok! Sounds like he has a bug of some sort. Its so hard when they cant tell you whats wrong.
MM- Awwwh Hun ear infections are hard to pick up on. X gets them all the time even with the grommets he also has goop coming out of his ear when he gets one so I have to check his ears all the time cause he has no other signs. Then he ends up having 2 lots of AB's one lot to swallow and one lot is speacial AB ear drops. He gets them because his ear canal's are imature still and the Specialist said he should grow out of it by the time he is 6... Geez Thats ages away. So please dont feel bad.
Nella- Yep my fingers are crossed for you too.
Rainy- Hope all is ok
Well Xavier had a massive stack today and has his first and probally not his last black ear. He also has a bruise and graze mark on his cheed and a bruise on his head. He fell off a our slippery dip and banged his face on the retaining wall... OK I need to explain more cause that doesnt sound right. They took the plastic slippery dip part off the cubby house and put it on a truck one end and the other end was on the retaing wall that leads into the dirt pit. Just as I was telling him not to get on it well he did and fell right off it ( as I predicted but of course we dont listen to mum) Gee it looks terrible but he has not been complain that it hurst and I did Ice pack it straight away. Also today Jordy Stacked his bike in the hall way he went over the handle bars. Not a good day in our house today. Going out to buy cotton wool tomorrow?
