ange- i'm still having dramas with the dummy, he really doesn't like it.
everytime i leave them unsupervised lewis pulls his socks off and tickles jimmy's feet...or pulls his top up and tries to breastfeed him...
need to talk to you about professional photos....might pm you
eta- swine flu is scarey! if it gets out east then i'm boycotting swimming/playgroup/playcentre for a while....oh and doing online shopping! lol
:rofl: Lulu BF's her toy dog from her belly button!
oooohh *patiently waits for PM*
Ange - i hear you - i had a very undignified moment the other day with the gastro... it aint pretty.
Rainy - treat yourself woman!!!!! I had N at 39 wks exactly. I'd love it to be the same this time, even 38 wks would be fine!!! i bet i go over... i am just ready to get him/her out!!
PAP - I was so lost without BB too, isnt that sad!! So sorry to hear that your family is copping all the winter bugs going around atm. The last thing you need is gastro! & I hope N's ear clears up fast, let us know how he goes.
Clare - I think I saw that murder on the news, how horrible!! Definately time to move on, I hope you can get a house soon.
Rainy - A trike at the op shop, what a score! I am starting to worry about swine flu too, especially seeing as there is a Perth family who are about 3 suburbs away from me, infected, & not taking precautions & leaving the house to go shopping, I can just imagine they would be going to the big mall that I go to as well, seeing as we are only suburbs apart.
Arte - What a helpful little boy W is!
Oz - Great, the last thing you need is hermit crabs on the loose lol. Good old uncle, he meant well, but just as well he didnt bring them home hehe. So glad your scan went well & the bubs is healthy.
MD - Have a nice time out with Supa, we want all the goss. ;)
Jaz - How is H today & has the tooth popped through? Hope you have caught up on missed sleep.
AFM - Spotting has stopped again, I had my initial appt with the doc yesterday & I mentioned it to her. She wasnt too worried, but has given me a referral for a scan after 7 weeks + if it continues. Hopefully I wont need to use it.
Does anyone know if you can dye your hair during the 1st trimester? My skanky regrowth is showing something shocking.
Had a friend over yesterday for a playdate as she has a 22mth old girl. My gosh she was gorgeous, & I could really see the difference in stages between her & M, even though they are only 2 months apart. I am actually starting to worry about M's language development, as she only says a couple of words, bye bye & uh oh (if thats even a word). She seems to understand, but I'm just worried as her little friend was blabbing away talking so clearly. Does anyone else have the same worry?
Had a little giggle at the bfeeding stories, too cute.
OMG I can't believe that PAP and Cally walked past each other in the halls for years! Small world! (or small city?)
There is a girl in the mothers circuit here that was at school a year below me. She recognised me but I only knew her name. She was sporty and I was nerdy, completely different circles and we ended up in the same place doing the same thing lol.
DH is taking the morning off to look after W, not expecting good results since I was on high insulin last time. Hoping that the 5kg I lost between pregs will help me out but not holding my breath.
Ange, I don't think the swine flu is worth the panic. Good if you are in the face mask business though.
Rainy, hope your weekend goes well. W did a Lewis the other day, fell asleep eating chippies and then woke up and started where he left off. He even had his eyes closed still eating them lol.
gyp- yes sometimes i worry about lewis' non-talking too.
pap-oohhh it could be so close!!!
MM and Rainy- I seriously wouldn't worry about how many words they do or don't have at this age. They are all so different, and one or two words is still withing the normal range. Lu went from no words to lots of words in about 2 weeks. It can happen very suddenly. I have 2 friends with boys a week apart. At one boys 2nd birthday he could say ma, Da and No. The other boy was talking in complete sentences. 2 years on you can't tell the difference in their language.
Thanks ange, will try to keep that in mind
Bleh I just typed up a bit catch up and then (without pressing any buttons) I got mysteriously vorpalled back to one of our old threads and lost the lot AND got logged out as well.
I've been manic all afternoon - like your neice Cally, I think the steroids are making me hyper - and now I'm exhausted. Hands are ok, bladder is getting worse, skin around nails is starting to go yuck as is my mouth. Apart from that feeling ok but will prolly crash on the weekend.
Had fab morning with Supa and no-so-little-anymore T! Worked out it's over 2 years since we first met on BB - can't believe it's taken this long to meet up! Supa is gorgeous lady, we had a ball and will meet up soon when we get a winter indoor venue planned LOL. Will post some photies if it's ok with Supa, girls had a lovely time playing in the autumn leaves.
Arte Good luck with your GTT!!
Re the talking - when you add up things like names of ppl you see all the time, mum, dad, dummy, bed, more, no, mine, favorite foods, drinks, bottle, milk, bath, teddy, sleep, car etc, I'm sure they talk a lot more. Plus I'm sure E says words to me all the time (and uses them consistently) but I don't always understand what she's saying because the word she uses doesn't sound like the word I say, kwim? But it's still a word! If you're still worried just repeat yourself over and over (making eye contact) and eventually you will start hearing it repeated back. DD1 had a speech delay but it took ages to get assessed and we just kept on repeating ourselves and eventually she twigged. No danger of her not talking these days!! If you're worried, you can always get the ball rolling on things like a hearing test and a speechie assessment (waiting lists can be long) but you'll probably find by the time you get to the assessment they will be chatting away well within the normal range.
hey everyone,
have been trying to get on here for a while but something was happening with the comp or the server or something? bleh..
soooo tired this morning was up for a few hours last night feeling unwell.. probabl;y my shocking dietry choices of kfc for lunch and maccas for dinner hahaha oops!!
Ashas doing well, shes behaving much better and sleeping through the night most nights now and if she wakes it dosnt take much to resettle her and shes staying in her own bed which is great!! she started school last monday and absolutely loved it! she just played the day away lol i rang up worried about her and she was just off playing.. obviously very ready to go, might put her in a second day when bubba comes if she wants to..
with the speaking she does talk alot but everyone has commented on the fact that shes a bit ahead in that region lol she can even count to 6 now though the numbers arent all correctly pronounced you can nderstand what shes saying.. ive tought 2yos tho that only have 4 or 5 words other than names of ppl and comfort things so i wouldnt be too worried just yet..
mm what else?
bubba is doing well.. had anti natal appt yesterday and even though ive put on almost 12kgs (eeeeeek) im only measuring 29 in fundal height and will be 31 weeks on sunday so looks like im just getting fat oops!! Am feeling totally unprepared!! had pretty much everything done by this stage in the preg with asha hahaha!! just picked up the basinette yesterday that i had on raincheck.. am glad i rainchecked it when i did coz i got it for $75 its currently on special for $111 and normall $140 so very proud of that one! even tho my mum decided she wanted to pay for it anyway haha, might get a new matress for it tho the one it came with seems pretty crappy!!
md - hope your feeling better now, medications always really affect me too..
arte - goodluck with ur GTT!! ive had 2 now grr and they just told me yesterday theyll make me do a third if they think baby is getting big how annoying!!
gypsy - i think its recomended to wait till after the first trimester to dye ur hair.. would think it would be ok in a very well ventilated area but im not really sure..
pap - how far are you now? im really hoping to go early this time too but i was a week late with Asha so im not holding my breath haha!!
anyway ladies am off gotta get Asha ready.. shes going to my mums today, thank god coz i really need a rest!! especially since its raining again! this weather is driving me insane i have so much washing to do :(
hi girls!
cooeey! i am on BB!! ha ha ha! i have been all lost and sorry without it LOL!
Arte: i had to giggle at W eating in his sleep! noice!
PP: oooh you could go early again! Leila came at 38 weeks and i was like: 'what the? i'm having a baby...wooaahhhh!'. LOL!
Noni: that is so awesome with Asha. fantastic that she is loving kindy! it is so gorgeous to watch them when they are playing with their mates. i have noticed alot more interactive play with the kids now too which is really lovely!
MD: so did you and Supa go for coffee or to a park? man those autumn leaves sound good. here we appear to be a bit delayed. the leaves are not really falling. canberra was really beautiful for that. hmm maybe we should make our adelaide holiday for next autumn?
Ange: oooh i remember when you told us about the gastro 'incident'. i was totally paranoid after that 'cause we were hit with it too LOL!
PP and Cally: so funny that you guys were musos too! i played the flute and violin and the clarinet for a brief while there. i had this *vision* that i could start a jethro tull kinda band at school but my peers just didnt get it...
I would have looked at you like you were a crazy person!! LOL!! No, didn't recognise you, maybe if you'd had your hair up and a green blazer on I may have made the connection!!:
Calre - no, I wasn't a muso. Joined the 11/12 choir in year 12 because me and one other girl in our friendship group were sick of being by ourselves every Monday lunchtime - I had no musical ability whatsoever. Most of my friends were in the band / orchestra / choir though.
Grr, my pedometer doesn't seem to be working today, Just did a walk with one of the girls and she did almost 4000 steps, I did 1400!! Not impressed. Will take me forever to get to 10,000 today.
Noni - way to go on the bargain bassinet!!
Gypsy - we really have no talking. Last week we had a 'Daddy' and a 'cold' (when the frozen yogurt went down her front!) Neither has been repeated. We are booked in to see a speechie in 2.5 weeks. DH and I aren't really worried though as neither of us started talking until over 2 years and K has a very good understanding of everything we say. She probably has a lot more words, however as MD said, I just don't understand what they are. She has big coversations with herself in the back of the car most days.
Swine flu - not worried about it too much. One of MIL's friends is in self quarantine at home, she was on the cruise ship last week that most of the cases were from (she has tested positive). So it is in our area, not sure if she would have gone out at all since returning. So far it doesn't seem any worse than the normal flu. We've all been immunised so I figure if any of us show 'flulike symptoms' then we go and get tested.
Clare we went to the botanical gardens where we could have the coffee AND the park at the same time (oh, I know it, I *am* a genius)! LOL Yeah defnitely come and visit us - although the leaves have all come off very quickly this year...but there are so many of them at the bot gdns the show lasts a bit longer! BTW PMSL about your Jethro Tull band!
Noni, yay that Asha's sleeping and playing and everything more happily now! What did you do different or was she just going thru a phase/cold/teething do you think?
Missy E has been a lot less pleasant than usual, I don't think we've had a single non-tantrum dinner for about a fortnight *sigh* but in her defence she's popped about 10 teeth thru at once (no I'm not too sure exactly how many, she used to only have 2 on top and 2 on bottom but now she suddenly have 4 top and bottom AND molars AND I think the eye teeth are coming thru too but I'm not game to put my finger in there to feel for them at the moment for fear of getting it bitten off.
Forgot to take my roids this morning and started coming down off them before I remembered to have them and OMG I'm not looking forward to it tomorrow. Missy E was clingy and foul (teeth, as above) and I just didn't have the werewithal to deal with it. I expected to feel physically exhausted but this morning I realised I'll be shockingly depressed as well. All this to look forward to ...x 6!! Luckily I've still got half a box of Hahndorf chocs to console myself LOL.
ETA - re swine flu - No not worried about it here. More worried about all the revolting individuals who are quite happy to take their regular flus and colds out into a public place and cough and sneeze them around in a highly uncovered way. How frickken hard is it to hold a frickken tissue over your face before you spray???!!!!
Md - we made a few small changes like not smacking and replacing it with time outs (that was very effective! Shed much rather be smacked haha) we stopped letting her in our bed except for once its a reasonable time in the morning annd we implemented a bed time routine of going to bed at the same time each night with a bottle and she's now enjoying her bed and bedtime a whole lot more.. Oh and the dummy is being restricted a bit more too.. So all that put together with her having a few more weekly activities she's realy doing well.. Hope that all makes sense bit of a ramble I know!
hEy gIrLs!
it was lovely meeting up with MD finally! (MD u r so lovely and E is just gorgeous, T was exhausted and slept in the car on the way home, so i stopped in at baskin robbins and scoffed an icecream down, and had to hide the evidence in the bin b4 DH found the container). i had a fab time... (i realise i was a bit freaked out mtg someone i know so well but in person its weird). i will get over it b4 next we meet dont worry.
MD - what were u thinking forgetting ya roids! tsk tsk, all that fun yesterday took your mind away.... lol. i hope E is feeling better this afternoon. 10 teeth at the same time is not fair.
better get back to work..... (3/4 the way thru eclipse now. read til 1am! i am so bad).
ha ha SupaB: i too pulled 'all nighters' when reading the twilight series....
Noni: wow, those changes with A's routine seem to have really worked positively! you go girl!
Rainy: i forgot to say thanks for telling me about your multi-vit reaction! it was actually relieving to see that i am not the only one that gets nauseous from the stuff. i think i will have to keep searching. ho hum.
AFM: forgot to mention that last night was accented by two gunshots. yay. just as i was falling asleep too. although no mention of it today, despite a cacophony of police screeching down the road about 10-15 minutes later...
Hey everyone! I'm still alive LOL. I feel so terrible for not being a good buddy ATM. I have had a shocking few days. I have had the mother of all periods - I seriously thought I was going to pass out on Tuesday night cause I felt all light headed and it was like lochia it was that heavy - I was flooding pads and had to change them every hour and OMG the clots! It was still really heavy up till yesterday, but today it seems to have gone. It scared me though, I wasn't sure at what point you could call it a haemorrage kwim? and Dh was on nightshift too so I was on my own. But it's the first one since the mirena was taken out so not sure if that's had anything to do with it or not. Plus we've got a house full of mice again since the rain and cold weather so I have had twice as much cleaning to do too :(
I will make sure I keep up again now though.
Oh my goodness Trill, that sounds so bad. I would have panicked too. surely that isn't normal. you need a big steak to increase your iron levels again. yuk about the mice. i heard some squeaking in our roof a month or two ago and was sure it was mice, but haven't heard them since. its a mystery. you'll have to get DH onto the traps.
Cassius - heck i wonder if those shots were anything serious. scary. :clap:WELL DONE on the all nighters. lol. i drew the line at 3am last week.
DH is getting his mop cut now, so i am just finishing off 3 TAFE assignments...
Secretly wondering whether i should start taking elevit *JIC* DH agrees for T to be 2.5yrs if/when the next one arrives. MD and i were discussing that we feel left out. LOL. i can't remember when u r supposed to start taking elevit, can u ladies inform me.
