i saw that we had a new thread so thought to post haha! YAY! we finally made it to the thread no.2 haha!
not much to report today. had a lovely day outside enjoying the sunshine: went to a cafe for some coffee and cake, bought some childrens books and wandered up and down checking out the sights of the city.
marta and leila are sleeping really well in the same room. i am so thrilled. although i am still finding it a bit sad to not have her beside me at night but they love it so much...
i wont repeat too much of what i said in the last post, just that i hope everyone is awesome
I just heard marta cry which is out of the norm for her to wake before 1am and so i went in and her nappy had come off and she was soaking in wee! poor poppet. i somehow managed to get her changed into new clothes and nappy and sleepsuit...while breastfeeding lol! i *think* that is taking "dont wake the baby" to the extreme
just so you're not alone!
that was some mean feat you accomplished! but how had her nappy come off?
good news here - DD hips are OK! yay! don't need to go back until she is walking.
and some "ouchy" news - I got bit by a wolf spider and have a big red itchy lump on my arm
question - what brand sippy cups are you all using? I have three and I still can't find one I am 100% happy with. I have just bought another today, though we haven't used it yet, so hopefully that will do the trick.

: added a bit - had to share my "ouchy" news!
that is just the BESTEST news about bubba! what a big relief for you guys, now you can relax and just enjoy knowing that she is AOK!
sippy cup: i had a nuby one with the side handles that Marta liked, but am in the throes of trying to get hold of an "earthlust" birds and bees one. only cause they look cool and i hope that it will last a bit better than the plastic ones lol.
Milly I can't believe bubba has 2 teeth now that is awesome news!! Are you still BF? Hope she's not biting you! That wouldn't be fun!
Cass: HAHAHAHA about Marta and the nappy that is hilarious! Great effort to for changing her while BF. Nicely Done! I too am having issues with Audrey sleeping in her Cot. Too far away so DF is making a nursery for us near our bedroom for #2.
AFM: WELL!!!!!!!!!!! Lots has been happening since I was last on, hence being MIA!! FIrst Audrey got a chest infection which we were taking meds for, then she wasn't getting any better so I took her back and did some more test and found that the meds she was on she had antibodies for so they weren't working, because she has a UTI - and that was what was making her sick not the chest infection, so the UTI has become more serious, but now her Chest Infection has become worse becuase she wasn't on the right meds, they were thinkg pnemonia (sp) but have ruled that out now, THANK GOD, but she needs to go have an ultrasound done on her kidneys and then we go see Peds for an all over check up....
They are thinking that one of the valves connected to the kidneys might be a 2-way valve, which basically means, once urine is made from the kidneys and goes into the bladder, it can then pass back up into the kidneys... It shouldn't do that... she's only 6.29kgs (within normal range, shes just petie) but she lost weight over 2 weeks coz she wasn't eating or weeing and OMG has it been stressful for us.... I have wanted to just ALL the time and its just crap!!
But it feel great to have said it on here without feeling any guilt!
Oh and top things off AF came back on Wednesday, sneaky little b**ch, I hate hate hate that she's back! Yes it's great I can start tracking my cycle coz it was all out of whack when we TTC but I hate having AF and besides it means we could 'accidently' fall before the wedding and I really really really want to fit into my pretty dress!! 10 more months THEN we can start TCC #2... I dont mind being 8wks pregnant at the wedding that I can deal with..
Sorry girls I know this post was very much about me, thanks for reading about my vent!!
Oh and Milly Audrey is using a Heinz sippy cup - hates it hates it hates it, but work requires every child to have a water bottle, even tho she doesn't drink out of it... Oh and no teeth yet too, kinda glad as I am a little freaking out about BF and teething HAHAHAH!!
Milly!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!! That is amazingly great news!!!! I too am only early, about 6wk n 3days lol
Can't remeber if I have a ticker yet.... I ventures into PAML as I was quite nervous but am now quietly excited!!! yay
I'm due on the 14 Jun 12.......
Day care kids get really sick.... As I type this I am in hospital waiting for Audrey to have surgery :-( just grommets but since she was 6mths old she has had 8 perferated ear drums 3 cases of tonsilitis ;-( so surgery was our only option.... BUT once they are a bit older they will
Immune to so much and won't get as sick... First year in child carr is the worst....
So excited we are going to have more bubbas!!! Yay
My card what a roller coster ride we are on!!!! Read my post in the Story's of Loss - #2 Loss, Great!! Oh there is a story in there, I updated a little while ago. Holy heck what a confusing time..
DD1 has been soooooo clingy the last few days its been crazy! He new favourite word is no she even has the shacking of the head down pat lol - its quite cute really to see her little tamtrums hahaha....
She has basically dropped her bottles too execpt her night bot bot... shes awesome!! Question - should i be concerned that she only has 2 bottom teeth :$ i think she is cutting her top ones but its so hard to tell as she wont let me in there!! Stubborn head strong child - dont know where she got that from lol
Best be off to digest more of this horror story - night ladies
HPL I am so sorry All my thoughts will be with you tomorrow. Be kind to yourself and hold that beautiful little DD of yours tight. No need for concern about the the teeth. As you know ds only just got his 2 top teeth.
I know that you are freaking out, but i am so happy for you! SO SO happy that you were able to get a second opinion!! your baby was just needing some time to grow a bit bigger!!!
i have everything crossed that the next week brings beautiful, confirmation so that you can just enjoy xx
Thanks ladies - it has been crazy and very emotional for us - further more my Bridal Shower is on Saturday which I am extemely excited about and then I get married next week!!!
It has been very difficult on us but were hoping this wedding and family being around will ease the pain we've been through and have some time for joy and happiness
Will keep everyone posted on what is happening xxxx
HPL - I hope your bridal shower was lovely, and we'll all be thinking of you this saturday! Here's hoping you have great weather and it all goes off without a hitch! And I know that you are WAY too busy to be posting, but just wondering how you are doing..... thinking of you
Hi Cass, Hi Cherished!!
AFM - well DD is now weaned I wasn't quite ready as in prepared for this, but my milk literally dried up overnight, and BF (well comfort sucking) became UNTOLERABLE. so I am kind of sad about it all really. oh well, I guess it was going to happen sooner or later.

: added a bit
oh Milly it is always a bit sad when it happens i reckon...but also kinda cool in the sense that your relationship with DD is changing and growing in new ways too ITMS?
Milly: oh my love I do remember Audreys last feed so fondly - it was over way too fast for me too, I envy you ladies that were able to continue this far .... But Cass ia right now enters the new stage of your bonding and growing together...
Cass: I did have a good Bridal Shower few up and down moments coz of the in laws but my friends and family made it perfect :-D ... I totally agree with what you were saying to Milly about the new bond, when Audrey stopped ; granted it was at 8 mths ( :-( ) we started bonding in a new way it was lovely to watch us grow flowers together as if she new mummy wasn't just there for boobie time and food it was more than that lol
Cherished: the teeth thing really wish I'd kept my mouth shut about that, thanks for the reassurance though about DS... Sadly she started teething again like this week hasnt been stressful enough lol welcome back sleepless nights and black eyes for work!!! Turns out her top 2!! Teeth are coming through as well az an eye tooth on the left :-( poor baby she's struggleing with it this time around... Her top left and eye tooth are almost through the right side a little lagging behind can see it i just pray it doesn't go back up...
Well as for me I AM GETTING MARRIED ON SATURDAY!!! In 3 day!!!! Oh My Gosh soooo exciting.... Pick the dress up FridH, Tan today, Mani and Pedi ekk - oh but I guess the MOST exciting thingi get to do today is see my baby again!!!! have an appt with my OB at 10am so dropped DD off at school pick my mummy up and off we go!!! Fingers crossed girls baby has grown and there's a super strong heartbeat!!!!!
Will try and get on and update here as well as PAML ....
