But nothing compared to how sad he would've been with chilli in his eyes!

Oh you are so right! That really puts a different perspective on it doesn't it? Lol.

I hope P goes ok at the doctors. We had one of the DSS here coughing again recently and I was so worried that the rest of us would catch it. I was quarantining everyone as best as possible. DSS was confined to his room most of the time, which is not as bad as it sounds because he probably would have been in there almost as much anyway with his computer, xbox and Ipod, lol! Whenever her came out I would keep the babies away, and when he left I glen20'd everywhere he had been. Paranoid much?! Hehe. No one else got sick though!

Bella, best of luck for a BFP this cycle! I'm also generally out of the loop on the inner going-on's of the forum, but even still you can feel the vibe can't you?

That's why I love our little corner so much. Isn't it amazing that a group of woman that used to be total strangers can become such a close-knit, supportive group of woman. You ladies are a very important part of my village. Although in my village we don't live in tents or huts, we reside in castles and palaces

Krystie, I am the same when someone's got a tummy bug around here. I follow them around with disinfecting wipes, LOL! I have to though as I just can't bear the alternative :/
Bella, sorry Mima isn't well either. Totally sucks.

P's ears are infected so we are on ABs. She was sooooooo unhappy going to bed last night I had my suspicions. But then she slept all night (first night out of 5) so I just wasn't sure.
Is anyone going away over easter? We are going to stay a night with some friends on Sunday night (out 'rural') and I hope hope hope it goes well. They have 3 kids, all close together & similar in age to ours so hopefully they play together nicely.
I go through phases of being a relaxed parent and being anxious. Does anyone find this? Or are you all well and truly settled in to parenting? I mean I know different ages bring different challenges but I really am interested to know if my anxious feelings are normal, even with things you've done before like going on holiday or getting them minded by someone...
Maybe I am a bit loony.

Oh hell yes!! and that's to the relaxed/anxious thing - not the loony bit!! My feelings swing from one to the other depending on what we're dealing with at the time. Thankfully E has been mostly ok lately, so i have chilled a bit - but i find it comes in waves - as she hits a new developmental milestone (and the associated experimenting she does) i get really worried about everything. climbing has caused me no end of stress!!! and whacking her head on concrete pot the other day didn't help either! lol

I have just come back from GP appointment. have referral for xrays on my wrist to see if it has become arthritic. referral for full blood screening to try and work out why the heck i am soooooooooo tired alll the time. had a pelvic scan last week after 3.5 weeks of AF. nothing significant. roll on 4.45 tomorrow - i'm on the down hill to physical meltdown from physical and emotional exhaustion at the moment. 6 days off, work 1, 4 days off. i neeeeeed to rest up i think. head hurts constantly. i had to have an ecg today as the pain in my arm is in my left arm, damage to my back is on the left side, and tachychardia has gotten worse lately. i think the tachy is due to being anxious about things in general, and possibly being run down - but thankfully the GP took my concerns seriously and did the ECG. it's been really nasty bad pain wise today and i needed reassurance it was only muscular.

feeling like a really ordinary friend at the moment (both in here and away from here) - i'm really struggling to offer the support i know i want to give. i want to be able to be here for everyone, but i have read the last 24hours of posts three times today and i just can't process enough for persies! it's horrible. i feel so scattered

**MummyNaomi** · April 20th, 2011, 12:23 AM

Hugs BG - I'm sure that the others echo my sentiments when I say that you are a great friend

Good friendships ebb and flow depending on whats going on in everyones lives, good friendships will be sustained regardless of the amount of persies, sometimes we each need to take time for ourselves, so don't stress, we love ya! x

God Amy - Totally agree re going through the different spectrum of relaxed and anxious parenting - sometimes this can change in a matter of moments! I'm not totally sure what is the driver but sometimes I worry about my skills as a mother (especially those moments where I am tired, short tempered and over it) but also sometimes I wonder if I take the time to remember to teach Bailey things, to nuture the growth of his intellect, and worry that I just forget to sit down and play, and similarly to BG when a big developmental leap occurs, most commonly when its something I haven't come across before I wonder if I even know what the hell I am doing sometimes - eg with responding to new behaviours etc. Other times I just take it all in my stride and nothing fazes me - all part of the parenting roller coaster I guess! Funnily enough I had a bit of a anxious moment Monday arvo when I was driving Bailey and I home after work/childcare, he'd had a few visits to the Toddler room at care as part of his transition out of the Baby room at the end of this week and the carers told me he got quite upset during one of the visits. It totally gutted me and made me question myself about why on earth I have him in care, what am I doing, what if he gets tramautised by something that happens at care, yadda yadda yadda. You are most certainly NOT loony (otherwise I am too!!)

Krystie - I better change my ticker. I get what you mean re the community, I'm sick of all the whinging though - really sick of it. Most of it I don't even understand. Although I'd never post this in the main forum for fear of offending, I must admit seeing angel babies in tickers upsets me. Frankly I'd rather poke my head in the sand than be reminded of other peoples sadness, totally selfish I know

Then I feel bad as I have my healthy baby in my own ticker, its a tough one. I try to post in other areas of the forums where possible, but our thread is my BB 'home' base, you guys are the reason I am here

Bella - hope your intuition is right and your BFP comes your way, be sure to post in here, I'll forget to stalk you in the TTC threads. I want to be pregnant, I am ready, I desperately want another baby, I have another one in me and I want Bailey to have a brother or a sister. Whether or not it happens is another thing altogether, we'll see what the next 12 months brings. DH isn't on the same page as me atm, he keeps getting cold feet. I want him to want it as much as me, not just go along with it to keep me happy. I am trying NOT to force the issue, but its hard, my emotions are taking over. **sigh**

Anyway, must hit the hay!

Nay
x

**~ Mylitta ~** · April 20th, 2011, 09:05 AM

Nay, just quickly because Shayla is squirming on the couch, lol. In regards to your DH possibly not wanting another baby as much as you... don't stress too much honey. Men often don't feel that overwhelming desire to have another child. My DH definitely wasn't as keen to have another baby as I was, yet he didn't complain at all when we were going through IVF, and he absolutely adores Shayla. I'm sure it would be the same with your DH, that even if he isn't as sure about another baby right now, he will be over the moon once that little bundle is tucked in his arms ♥

**briggsy's girl** · April 20th, 2011, 09:47 AM

i think i'm the only one with a really clucky other half. he always puts it back on me ("dont' YOU want another one?") but he is fanging for another i think lol

**~*Niadalla*~** · April 20th, 2011, 09:52 AM

Hi girls!
Sorry I haven't been around... lots and lots going on with me right now that I can't go into, but I have been thinking of you all.

Amy - sorry to hear you got made to feel so horrible about Natty's eating. Boy do I know what you are going through! I'm so Glad that I don't have the same problem with Allira, because Lachie is struggle enough! If you ever want to chat, drop me a line. I'm on and off most days.

Bella - fingers crossed for that BFP!! I know I could really feel my 2nd pregnancy alot more than I could my first. I knew before I tested. I'm hoping that you get a big BFP.

The vibe around here... well I've been here 4 years. See my low post count? See my non platinum membership? I think that speaks LOADS about how this place can be. I must admit, there are some sections (like this one) that I find are so amazingly helpful that I would be lost without. I guess things change as the membership of a place changes. With so many active members it's hard to guage what everyone is really thinking and feeling.
I'd like to think that the wonderful people like yourselves have been the big pull to keep me here this long. I've made some lifelong friends here and I'll always have that positive to remember.

Kids are doing well. I can't believe we have nearly 2 year olds!! Gosh it's flown. Goes so much quicker second time around. Allira is far to smart for her own good and far to smart for my own good aswell. I worry about how I am going to cope raising her.
Lachie's doing well. Thriving at kinder. He's got to have a procedure in July called a laryngoscopy which is basically a camera shoved down his throat while he is under to check his vocal chords and his throat as he has a husky voice. They suspect nodules which they would scrape off, but that might be during another procedure altogether. I'm a bit scared about my baby boy having to be put under though and I'm not looking forward to seeing it, but I need to be there when it happens. It's 2 days before his 4th birthday too.. poor bugger! Looks like I'll be guiltily spoiling him something shocking because of the timing. Can't be helped though.
Other than that, things are ok. I've had my own issues to deal with and am working with those. I'm still playing netball and really enjoying it and doing my strength training, but I've slackened off with the personal training which I'll need to get right back into again. I've got lots of weight to lose before my sister's wedding in Jan!

A big HELLO to you all. Massive hugs. I miss you girls.

xxoo

**MummyNaomi** · April 21st, 2011, 12:23 PM

Nicky - I KNOW - almost TWO - HOW did this happen? LOL

Krystie - Well since my post the other night we had a big chat last night about TTC #2. The outcome was good (for both of us), we have ditched the mini pill and although we agreed not to become obsessed with DTD obsessively at the right time, DH conceded that if I seduced him he couldn't be held responsible for not resisting HAHAHAHAHA. So I guess we are TTC or perhaps like Vic and Ryan we are NTNTGP (Not trying not to get pregnant). DH doesn't want it to consume us like it did last time (which I totally respect) and we chatted that as we are not on the same page with wanting another baby atm, we realise that there really isn't a compromise (eg you cant half have a baby) so this is a good place for us to be. Anyway, although its a step forward, its probably in vain as the odds of us conceiving naturally aren't great, but they are not impossible! So I guess our next step is moving from this to then looking at IVF again later in the year, this will be another big hurdle for DH to jump. We cant afford it until after June anyway so there is no point getting my knickers in a twist about it atm. Everyone pray for a frigin miracle!!!!!

**briggsy's girl** · April 21st, 2011, 12:48 PM

Everyone pray for a frigin miracle!!!!!

praying for both of us babe!

**~ Mylitta ~** · April 21st, 2011, 03:54 PM

I really really really really really really really (you get the idea!) hope you both get your miracles!

If either of you decide to go through IVF again I have a whole box of unopened (use by 08/2012) progesterone gels (the individually wrapped ones) here that you girls left with me that you can have back. This forum has rules about giving away meds, so it's lucky that these are your meds that I am just looking after for you yeah?

**briggsy's girl** · April 21st, 2011, 05:03 PM

tehehehe you're funny

i doubt we'll go through ivf = if we do, it won't be until another few years have passed - financially it's just about impossible. emotionally - even less!

**MummyNaomi** · April 23rd, 2011, 10:47 AM

Popping in cos I wanted to see my ticker saying Bailey is TWO!!!

I had a bit of a cry last night cos he's two, its going so fast - as Krystie often says - "where is the pause button?"
