Hey Mel, glad the girls are on the mend, nothing worse than gastro......good on you getting the house done!
Kris - We reached our threshold on Monday too - sucks its only till the end of the year - at least you can claim your morphology scan as well! So much as my wardrobe, yeah its pretty chockers, but I worked in fashion for 15yrs so i equate that with DH being a carpenter and having a shed full of tools LOL!!! Anyway its all so old now.....
Hey Dis and Kel and Kaz.....hope you guys are well.
Us- Off to playgroup today, made some pink cupcakes as its a party day. Had another shocking night sleep, up at 11:30 for the loo, and Beau up at 4:30 coughing/crying then up at 6am. Just cant get comfortable so even when I am in bed i am not asleep or feeling rested IYKWIM? Feel like I am in the deprevation haze already.:doh:
Speaking of spending I am having a look at my fav US website, aussie dollar at 87c woo hoo!!:clap:
-
HEy jen;thats a lot of clothes! But yes, I guess when you think about dh garage...I can understand what you mean. Our garage if full of dh crap! He loves it though...keeps him quiet! We reached the medicare threshold too last week and that means today when we see the skin specialist for Liv, we should get most of it back:) Sorry to hear you are uncomfy. In someways am not looking forward to it...oh yes I am! Dh is keen to get utd soon and also talking about our extension again!!! So hopefully AF will arrive on time next week and then we can start again....
Girls are better, although Bec still has runny poo....at least I didnt get poo explosion again. I am hoping it will clear up sooon. Olivia is yet to poo so will see how that goes.
Anyway off to mums today for a visit
Have a good day

Hey Mel thats so cute that DH is excited about another baby, tell him to get onto that extension then!! I had a go at DH cause he is away this weekend playing golf and the babies room hasnt been touched yet, meaning we are running out of weekends and the wall paper aint gonna strip itself!!! We will get there, need to hang doors on all the room s for some sound proofing as they are all sliders atm, its all time and money I guess.
Beau's poo was the same as the girls at the start of the week and he didnt poo for a day like Liv after it all, all was good when he did though, least they are getting it out of their system quickly.
Playgroup was a bit of a cry fest with Beau, I gave him panadol before as he was complaining of a sore mouth on his new molar side, he is "sleeping" now but I can hear him in there restless after 20min:pray:
-
heys ladies,
Mel - sounds like a hellish couple of days, but does sound like Liv's getting over it ... hopefully!
Jen - how long to go now? I have to swap over clothes as well, except I have no-where to store the other season's clothes. Doh. Yay on the beach time for Beau with his dad ... when are your parents down, this weekend? Cupcakes, yummmmm.
Lil - oh goodness on the asthma bronchitis, is it something he'll grow out of? I hate having to make that decision to go to hospy or not, its like if you go then you're waiting for hours and hours to get seen, and if you don't go then you worry for hours and hours if you should go!
Man I wish I was at the medicare threshhold - so far away from it.
Kris - poor M with his post-surgery scare. Hope he's feeling better, is he back at work? Hoping its a grrl for you, then you'll get heaps of girly gifts and fairy costumes!! Hope you feel less flat soon ... tomorrow for the show, how exciting - my g/f and I are taking our 2 on Sunday! I know it'll be packed, but given we're both working, not much choice!
Us - well AF is visiting again, my cycle's all totally out of whack, will get a OPT kit this arvie ... house is going along great guns, in that we have no living room floor at the moment, Trev pulled it up with my Dad - Dad's going to be staying here for a month to help Trev get it sorted. Mum's coming down next weekend and we're going to the Zoo (or aquarium if its raining) which should make some lovely memories for her ... thank goodness I got my work bonus, so will make it a bit special instead of el-cheapo ... Took Pip to his great-uncle's funeral today, he's got a little suit (white shirt, navy pinstripe trousers and navy vest) that he's worn too many times - he only wears it for funerals :( But he was sorta well behaved, I took some books and biscuits for him to chew to keep quiet ... only slip-up was when he asked rather loudly for another biscuit during the final eulogy - doh! But he did give lovely cuddles to his aunts & uncles & cousins which they found comforting.
Anyhows, I'm online cause I cant get my blasted work remote access working ... suspect something to do with the firewall Trev's set up, need to get it sorted quick-smart!
Cyas!

Hey Kaz; hope you get your cycles sorted out. Sounds like you are getting your house done, which will be good. Dont you hate it when it drags? I am hoping AF will arrive in the next few days, or at least by Thursday so I can start the cycle again!!! I doubt I would be pg as the only day we dtd unsafe was the last night of af, so she was all gone. Doubt i would be though!!! Then I can count on one hane the other times!!!!
Us- girls are all better from today. liv has had solid poos for 2 days. Yesterday I rang nurse on call after rebecca exploded so bad that she squirted across the room and managed to squirt up the sleeve of my jumper!!! Thankfully today she woke up with a nice hard one! The nursesaid she should be better in a day or two...she was right!
We took the girls to a 30th last night (after the nurse said it would be fine). Adam got very drunk and put Liv to bed with her shoes on!
Anyway, hope all is well,

Hi girls,
It has been a very long time since I have been in here and thought since DP and I are TTC#2 that I should drop in and see how all you lovely ladies are going. PLUS I did see Mel in the TTC thread hehe
So am going to do a read up and hopefully keep up now that all my mid sem assessment is over and done with!!
-
Bleh. I'm feeling pretty low. Too many wake ups in the night the last couple of nights (3 each night), plus early up-for-the-day times and a very physically and mentally exhausting day yesterday. I went to a surprise party for my uncle today, just me and the boys as DH went to the soccer, and cried all the way there. Gave everybody there a bit of a worry I think because I was crying when I got there too. I think it's just total exhaustion. I feel like crying again now, but just don't have the energy! :lol:
-
Dis, :hugs: I know the feeling. I was up several times last night too. And our start to the day was 5am. The kids have been in feral moods and DH went to a wedding in the city last night and didn't get home til 6am today. He'd had no sleep so I didn't get a break or nanna nap like I was hoping to. He works this whole week too, so no break til the weekend for me. I am feeling really frigile again. Had a few cry's today. Just feeling really ****ty.
I'll tell you how bad I am...this is a bit of a long story, but funny, so bear with me. Early yesterday I went to finish off our grocery shopping and to get fruit and veg. Debating if I should drive or just use a trollley for the trip home with the shopping, I drove down to the shops even though they are only one block away, thinking that if it is all too heavy to carry home, then I have the car nad it won't matter. So I drive down there, potter around, have a strong, hot, coffee, (hmmmmmm, yummm, cooofffeeee!) two or so hours later, I did what I have to and go. I walk home with a trolley and all of the stuff, which by the way was waaayyy too heavy for me to carry home. Huff and puff up the stairs put everything away and help DH get ready for the wedding and get on with my day at home with the kidlets.
Fast forward tot his arvo. DH and I go down stairs with the kids to go to mums for dinner. We ge to our garage, fully open, no car. We look at each other incredulously and sya where is the car??!! DH asks if I went anywhere yesterday with the kids or anything. I tell him no I stayed home all day, just shopping in the morning. It did not even tweak my memory that I had had the car that morning.
Sooo, I ring the police hotline thing and report the car missing/stolen. STILL not remembering that I had had the car, even telling the operator I had seen it last on Friday arvo/evening after work.
Call mum to come and pick us up, the car is stolen. Whilst waiting for mum, I am thinking about when I saw the car last, really retracing my steps. I say out loud to DH 'OMG'.......he asks 'What?' I say 'I had the car yesterday morning. I took it to the shop. I think it's still at the shops....' He looked at me and said 'You're serious!'
Yes, yes I was serious :redface:. I had taken the car to the shops, then forgotten to bring it home :doh: I couldn't believe I had forgotten my car. How dumb can one person be, seriously??? So we went down to the shops when mum came and found the car, all good. DH took it to the local police station to tell them all was actually ok, he just has an idiot for a wife. I am so embarressed. But it does make me appreciate my piece of **** car!!
Hope that brought a smile to your faces :D I am going to bed to rest my stupid head now......

Hello all good to see some chat in here:)
Iona, glad you have popped back in. I am not very good at keeping up with the ttc thread as they all know each other and to be honest, i dont have the time to sit and read and remember!!! Hows it all going? Are you still up in QLD? Hope my memory serves me right.
Mel- sorry youre having a bad time of it. I saw your boys on fb, they are so cute and look so alike.
Kel- youre so funny!!! Sounds like you had a good time down the shops though!
Us- well, todays been pretty good. Bec has had about 5 solid poos and Liv 3! I was so over poo yesterday after 6 days of gastro that I cried! I have decided I dont like sick kids, so I am going to swap them over when they are sick. Hopefully this is the last of it til next winter, although Bec is cutting her 6th tooth and is starting to sound a bit rattley. She gets so unwell cutting teeth.
Sleep...well I dont want to rub it in or jinx myself BUT...I have managed three nights in a row of 6hours straight. Please, I hope it continues.

Hi!
Jen - Ooh...yum pink cupcakes!! Hope you had fun shopping!! Bugger at being uncomfy...at least it's for a good reason!!!
Mel - Glad the girls are on the mend!! Hope af arrives for you soon!! LOL on Adam putting the girls to bed with shoes on - that's a crack up!!
Kaz - Hope you had fun at the show today!!! Good luck with ttc...it can be tricky business!! Sounds great that your dads coming down to help out with the renos! Sorry to hear about the funeral of your uncle
Iona - Great to hear from you!! How exciting ttc no.2!!! I hope it all happens quickly for you!!
Disgirl - Sorry to hear your feeling so low...I hope you manage to catch up on some sleep! Big hugs...xo
Kel - Sorry to hear your buggered as well...hope the kids sleep ok for you tonight...Omg - that's so funny forgetting your car - talk about sleep deprivation!! LOL!!! I was giggling away reading....
As for me...starting to feel a lot better - I feel like I'm getting my energy back finally!! Boys are sleeping pretty well and we finally got the housework done today because the pil were dropping in. Michael helped with it all though and it still took all arvo! LOL! Was so feral...
The show on Friday was GREAT!!! We had sooo much fun... I definitely couldn't have done it without the help of my friend. They loved the ferris wheel and went on some rides. Louis walked the whole time as well and just did so well - only had a meltdown right at the end which was fair enough!! They both chose to share a showbag so they could have a freddo frog one as well! Very cute. Louis held a snake as well which was really great!!
It's so nice to feel a bit more back to normal...it's like a fog has lifted. I'm actually laughing with the kids again and they're better behaved as well...lots more fun to be had around the house that's for sure!!
MIchael is feeling much better now which is good as well!!
Ok...been writing in between Rove ads...LOL! So tired though after a late night last night and early morning so must head off to bed!!
Chat later!

Hey All,
Well I must say i am glad some of us are feeling crappy and not just me!
Beau has had gastro again since last Wednesday and is very over it as am I. Mel what did the nurse say 7days? Last time he had it like this and I took him to hospital but it was pointless:rolleyes:
Aside from that, had my mum and her husband here this weekend as DH was away, mum's husband frustrates the beejesus out of me so it isnt really pleasant for me! Mum just spends the whole time saying "whats he saying?' about Beau even when its quite clear - then he was crying a lot this morning as he was tired after 2weeks of 5am wake ups, buggerall naps and mum says to him "put on a happy face!" Yeah, he is two dude! Thats not gonna help! Anyway I really do love her but two days of them both is my max I think atm! Hope she is gonna be ok with him when I have the cesarean
Kel- You silly tired thing! I reckon thats a pretty big sign that you need a break! Hope DH saw it that way, you arent nuts you are just burnt out. I feel too like I havnt had a break when DH is away, I just want to sleep for a hundred years at the moment.
Dis- Your poor thing crying all the way to your uncles party. How were the boys last night? I cant wait for daylight saving, at least it will be 6am, not 5am on the clock. Hope you are feeling ojk today and no more tears.
Mel - Glad the girls are back to normal with their poo's - hope AF comes fast so you can start all the fun again this month! Think I am going to get a water purifier for Beau to drink his water from, do your girls have tap water? I reckon he has giardia.
Kris- Glad you had such a good time at the show (and the boys!) I am still waiting for my energy to return LOL, actually, it did for a while but its left the building again now.....
Ok Beau is crying after 30min, here we go again........
-
Hey Jen thats no good. The nurse said between 5 and seven days and if its not clear after that then go to the drs. She was just making sure Bec wasnt dehydrated. So plenty of fluids..I got pedialyte...dry toast (she said white bread...i dont feed my girls white bread but had some of dhs) obviously no dairy, so i was feeding them pasta and heaps of potatoes (had to put a dash of milk in that). Thats interesting about the water...maybe you need to get it tested?
We are sitting out on the deck...girls are grubby as all get up and go. Olivia still refusing undies, so we are doing he nudie run again! Livs started dribbling a lot lately. I wonder what it is because shes not teething. I remember I used to dribble...still do (conversation content though@)
-
Hi!
Jen - Oh poor Beau (and you for having to deal with it of course!!) I hope he's better soon! I can relate on the frustrating parents thing!! LOL! My mum was on the phone to me for 4 hours today - ****!!!!!
I hate to say it but your energy levels are probably going to drop as you go on in your p/g...make sure you rest up and try and get some decent sleep - how far along are you know??? Bugger you not having a ticker - LOL!
Mel - LOL on the nudie run - I struggle most days to keep my boys with their pants on...LOL!
We had a quiet day...other than my mum on the phone for most of it! Managed to keep the house clean so I was happy! Michaels out and the boys are asleep so it's nice and peaceful for the meantime...
Not much really happening...
Chat later!!

BIG, BIG BIG :hug: to those of you with sick kidlets :( I think Liam is getting sick again too, he was coughing alot last night and had a fever at 4.30 this morning. Mind you both of the kids slept til then when he woke for a feed. Then Lil was up at 5 this morning for the day :( so I've been awake since 4.30....at least Liam went back to sleep til 6.30 I guess. I'm hoping we have a repeat of the night, just a bit later wake up call, even 6 is so much better than 5am!
I'm still feeling a bit fragile in my emotions, but I had a chat to DH and feel better. Apologised for being so scatter brained and nasty! I tried to go to the doctor yesterday, but there were 10 people in front of me. It would have been about a 2 hour wait and I was not going to wait that long!! I had the day off work and the kids went to mums and childcare and DH was at work so I had time alone. I miss my time alone at home!
Yes, my little escapade to the shops and forgetting the car.....well DH is never going to let me live that down! I do make a BIG point of saying 'well that's just how tired I am!' Particularly in front of mum who I had asked earlier in the day to look after the kids for a few hours so DH and I could spend time together. She wouldn't said she hadto go shopping to get a few things. Not that she couldn't do it the next day, it was jsut an excuse. DH is pretty good seeing when I need a break and he gives me time out when he can. But being a cop, he needs time out too, and time to sleep cause he works such long shifts. The other day he worked 15hours. Then came home helped out with the kids a bit, slept for 4 hours and went back to work. He sees that I'm struggling a bit and does what he can now. Rather than just letting it go like he used to. But aaannyway!
Ok gotta go and put the little man to bed.

Hi girls,
just a quick one from me - have any of your lil ones suffered from nose infections. luke seems to get them continuously, and the dr just says that it will get better once his immune system matures. Sometimes it leads to lil nose bleeds. Not sure if I should request seeing a ears/nose/throat specialist.
I know it doesn't help that we have a lot of building going on around us so the dust would contribute to it (we are in a new estate and were one of the first houses up), but just feeling a lil concerned and I don't want him on the antibiotics again
-
Hi girls,
Okay, I'd better warn you all I'm in a funny mood that I get in every now and then where I can't seem to concentrate very well, so I won't be able to do proper personals for a while. Usually only lasts a week or so and then I should be back to normal. Everything just irritates me when I get like this and I jump around from one thing to the next. It's due to lack of sleep and I'm catching up on that (two nights of decent sleep now - yay!), so let's hope I'm back to normal by the end of the week because I do miss this place.
Actually, I'm doing much better today - read through all the posts on here and everything! Mum called me again today to check to make sure I'm still sane after my outburst on Sunday. She's coming over on Saturday with Dad to have the kids while DH and I go to the movies! Only the second time DH and I have been to the movies in two years!!!! We're seeing Up in 3D - it is Disney/Pixar after all. I'm very excited about it.
We went shopping this morning and I spent about $200 on Thomas stuff!!! Mostly clothes and shoes, but a few trains and books as well and a computer game for Ben's Clickstart computer (which he loves). I survived the shopping with the two of them, which is an achievement since I only have a single pram.
Wow, I can't believe how much I've written - maybe I am getting better already!
Hope you're all well :)
-
Hi!
Kel - I can totally relate to not having anyone to give you a break!! My mum will on occassion watch the boys so we can have a date night (only midweek) and other than that I have the boys ALL the time...I envy those people that have parents around to take the kids off their hands and give them a break...
Iona - the nose infections don't sound great...It woudn't hurt to get him seen to even if just to ease your mind...
Dis - Hope you feel better soon and keep getting great sleeps!! Sounds great that you and Dh will have an arvo to yourself to go to the movies...
What a fun shopping spree!! I'm thinking I'm going to have one like that this week - need to shop for Louis' b'day and get them some new summer clothes...might have to layby I think!!
I'm having a lazy day today...just chilling out with the kids!!
I've booked in to start Yoga this week which I'm soooo excited about! Also organised a night out to the movies with my friend and some get togethers!! Feeling like I'm going to need to make the most of my time between weaning Ethan in the next couple of months and before the next bubba arrives...
Oh - the grossest thing happened earlier...I was having a glass of coke (I know - it's awful - it's my drug of choice at the moment for the caffeine hit!!) and I walked away and came back and took a sip and felt a lump in it and spat it out all over myself...and there was a SPIDER!!! Only one of those little jumpy ones but it was in MY MOUTH!! Sooooo gross....I felt so ill!! MIchael had a good chuckle though when I told him on the phone...yuck...
Ok..better go - chat later!
-
Hey all just bumping the thread....AF arrived today...yay, finally. Hope you all have a great weekend...carn the Saints:)
