Well? Kel? Did you test?
Hi!
Mel - I've got ethan down to 3 day feeds now (and have now started after lunch but think I may need to swap it back as he's just not drinking it!) He seems to feeding around midnight now though and then sleeping through until about 7-8am...
Ooh I love Jillian Michaels - she's fantastic - sounds like it would be fun!!
You poor thing being up so early yesterday...that would do my head in I think - LOL! Wow at becca getting another tooth!! Gosh...dropping down to one sleep already would be hard - although I must say Ethan seems to be having 2 x 45min naps again at the moment so he's not sleeping that great either...9m is seperation anxiety time so maybe that's got something to do with it???
Hope your osso bucco turned out yummy!
You poor thing with your friends...I probably went through a stage of that a few years ago where I felt really like I'd isolated myself from people...it's taken a while but I've really changed that around now and I have such a great bunch of very diverse friends!!!! I've made some of my closest friends on this forum, my mothers group, I've made new friends out here through playgroup and then I've reconnected with a lot of old schoolfriends by organising my school reunion, and relatives by organising a family reunion...
Please call me if you feel like a chat though - I would love to speak with you over the phone or arrange a catch up anytime - I've never been to your place but I don't think it's that far away!!!!
Yeah at getting a good sleep last night!!
LOL at being so clucky!!! It's a nice age gap between the three...hard work but worth it of course!!
Kaz - Hope you catch the eggy this month! Aww how cute of Pip having his nap...
Kel - Yeah at getting a good nights sleep!!! Wow at thinking you may be p/g! It must be the month for it - have you tested yet???
I'm feeling much better at the moment!! I'm still very anxious about the scan but I'm better in my mind about it...have been feeling VERY tired and nauseous so that's good...Dh is ok...slowly getting his head around...we're already over my family saying how hard it's going to be and omg how are you going to manage blah blah blah...Once we know everything is ok I'll just tell them to cut it out and that if they don't have anything positive to say keep your mouth shut - LOL!!!!!! (sounds good in theory anyway...)
As for us - we had quite a busy weekend which has been good. My friend came over to visit yesterday which was nice (so could have done with a glass of wine - LOL!) and then dh and I snuggled up last night and watch SATC movie - have been wanting him to for ages - he so wasn't impressed - LOL! He got lucky this morning though so he's not complaining to badly...Had my nephew's 2nd b'day today so was a great arvo - boys behaved so well and was so nice to just chill out with the family...yummo cake as well!
So have been feeling tired (had to have a 30min nanna nap yesterday!!) and nauesous but am looking at it as positive signs...if there's no hearbeat next Fri I'll be very cross to have gone through all of this for nothing - LOL!!!
Ok...better go - had a bbq for lunch so it's going to be 2min noodles for dinner - LOL! So can't be bothered with anything else!!
Kel - please let us know how you went!!! I'm dying to know if you're p/g!!!!!!
Goodness!!! Everyone's been so busy - all the best Kel!
Well we're hoping we catch the egg this month, I O'd yesterday so really hoping the "befores" were enough, or should we try after as well ... ahhhhh decisions, decisions ....
Today we took Pip to Chesterfield Farm, he had a ball! He was in the pen with the kids (goats!) and was jumping from stool / log / stump / hay bale with them, so cute!
Suspect he's coming down with something though, there's thick green snot coming :(
Enjoy all!
Ooh Kaz - couldn't hurt to have another go tonight - LOL!!!
Chesterfield farm sounds great - would you believe I've never been/taken the kids??? Must put it on our to do list that's for sure...the boys would LOVE it! I want to do so much when the weather starts warming up to make the most of our time before we're at home with a new bubba!!! At least he'll arrive in time for winter so I won't have to feel bad being a hermit in the early months - LOL!
Oh and Lea informed me that I should receive the chefs toolbox stuff tomorrow - I'll confirm when it gets here but let me know when is a good time to get it to you!!!
Chat later...
LOL, and the verdict is in..........I'm not pg!!! Phew! As much as it wouldn't really bother me...though three, three and under would be pretty tough work! (hey, Kris??!! :)) I think it would cause serious issues with DH. So I am going to the dr ASAP to get a scriot for the pill, until then I will be very careful!
Hey Kel - what a relief - kind of?? LOL - I'm sure you would manage just fine with 3!! If I can do it, anyone can! LOL! It's best to be on the same page with your dh about things like this - the last thing anyone needs is stress in that area!!! (Trust me!) Sounds like a good idea to go on the pill if that's the case anyway...big hugs to you though - would have been a stressful morning I'm sure! xoxoxox
LOL, Kris yep, it's a relief. I was soo nervous taking the test. I did two jic and they were both negative, hehehe!! I had a head ache cause I was stressing!
I'm sure I would manage too, but it would be pretty tough for me. Things were tough for me with two so close and so young. Plus financially it would have been a real stretch for us a while. We would have needed a new car, house blah blah....
DH would have really struggled too. He would come around to it, but it would have been really tough for him. He has moments with just the two of them, let alone another bub too.
But I need not worry. Yay!
Hey All,
Kel thats good you got the result you wanted. ;)
We had a really up and down weekend, lots of good but we had a family BBQ on Saturday night (in law family) and DH had previously told his brother the sex of the baby and the name we liked (news to me!) His bro had told his family which includes a 9yr old girl who told EVERYONE there (again, news to me!) Until his MIL tells me she hates the name and hopes we dont use it blah blah blah, I told her I dont care for the names she called her children either but thats every mothers perogative. :jawdrop: Why when having a baby is such a miracle to people need to be negative and awful? I am so mad about it.
Sorry for the rant!
Oh Jen you poor thing!!! I will never understand others negativity either! Seriously, what is wrong with people??????????
I had that with MIL - not so severely but she told me she didn't like Ethan and that it was too hard to say...it's like - that's what we've chosen, we're not going to change it because she doesn't like it!!!!
I think they're the kind of people that like the world to revolve around them and then get bothered and make a fuss when it doesn't! I also think it's a lot worse with the mothers of men as well (I'm making a mental note to never be like this with my DIL's LOL! But then I never make those kind of comments now so don't know why I would start)
Big hugs to you though...the name you choose will be perfect for your little munchkin - try not to let them get to you (I know, easier said than done!)
Had a visit out to Cindy's today with the boys - they had lots of fun and we had a good gasbag...I'm soo tired now though and am going to try a bit of a nap...don't think it will happen but worth a try - dh is home and Ethan's asleep so we'll see...Chat later!
Oh Kris, you're bringing back awful early pg memories for me :lol: The tiredness - urgh! Sounds like you're not too sick though so that's a good thing. Did I read you're having a scan next week?
Jen, how horrible of your BIL's MIL (I think I got that right!) to tell you she didn't like the name. Tough bickies! When will people learn to keep their unwanted opinions to themselves. Don't let her get to you, she's obviously a rude, silly woman, so just ignore her.
Kel, phew on the pg scare! Just let me know when you find out the dates you're off work and we'll get together. Congrats on the good sleep :)
Kaz, are you trying for a particular gender? Good luck!
Mel, yay on the long sleep! I can't believe Becca is already down to just one sleep!
Us, well we've had a rough week, but last night was almost back to normal. Jared had been getting up twice a night for feeds. We thought it might have been him adjusting to solids, but on reflection, I think it must have been a growth spurt. He seems to have grown in length the past few days. We're off to to the Nurse tomorrow for his six month check up so we'll see... he did weigh 10.2kgs on the Wii the other day though. It was funny, the Wii told me that I had to remember to bend my knees when lifting heavy things :lol:
Ben has been great, but his day sleeps seem to be getting later and later which is a pain. For the first time ever he's been kicking up a bit of a stink about going to bed during the day. I really hope this isn't 'the end of his day sleeps.
Okay gotta run :)
Hi!
Dis - LOL...the tiredness is a killer isn't it??? It's just been getting worse and worse this week along with the nausea - I haven't thrown up but just feel off a lot...At the moment I'm just hoping it means I have a healthy bubba in there!!! My scan is on Friday...
Wow at Jared weighing 10.2kg!!! I think Ethan would be lucky to weight around 8kg! LOL...he has his mchn visit on Thurs. It's meant to be his 8m one but they're so busy at this mchn that he'll be 9mo for it...
Bugger Ben is mucking around with sleeps as well...Dylan has pretty much dropped them altogether although if we go in the car he falls asleep!
The little buggers are still mucking around at bedtime...keep coming out...they think it's hilarious.
I'm about to eat a nice big bowl of peppermint choc chip icecream - yummmmmmmmmm!
Chat later!
Oh yum...peppermint choc chip ice cream.......
Sounds like all is going well for you Kristie. Goodluck with your scan on Friday. Will be thinking of you.
Jen, hugs, some people just have no idea when to keep their opinions to themselves. I cant wait to hear what name you have. I found choosing the second name of the same sex the hardest coz i thought I had already chosen the best name in the world!!!
Mel- your little man is not so little. Was Ben that big at that age? Olivia and rebecca are within a few hundred grams of each other. Bec weighed 8.6 last week at her 8.5 month check up.
I just did a short workout today coz bec has been grizzly and crawls up to me on the balance board. So it was 10 minutes, but I managed to walk Southland over and over...did some window shopping so I think I did a few kms! At least the wii says I have lost another 0.5kg...yay.
I am so tired today. The thunderstorm last night was just fun. Our stupid dog goes mental so she ended up coming in the house and woke up rebecca...who slept in our bed for the rest of the night. Bec only had an hour sleep again today. I try so hard to get her down in the arvo but she wont have a bar of it. Yesterday though she had 2 sleeps. Shes cutting her top teeth, shes so unhappy, at least she loves bonjella! Olivia fell asleep yesterday at 430 on the dining chair. So she wouldnt go to sleep til 1030 last night. Today I had her screaming big time coz I found her out the back yard on the trampoline with her jeans and shoes off, nappy in her hand trying to pick up her poo. I got her inside and cleaned her up but she flat out refused to get dressed so I kept her inside. I think the whole suberb heard her scream!!!
Anyway I am off to bed
Well, I'm going to have a totally me post here cause I need to get it out before I explode!!!! Sorry you guys get to cop it again...:redface:
Well after a week or two of being totally great giving me time out and helping me around the house, DH is back to his old ways. He's helping sporadically, washed the dishes yesterday, but that was it, even though he was home ALL day with the kids. (I worked 6.45am-3.15pm yesterday, so an early morning and full day work). He tells me they won't let him do anything, well, you know what I manage to keep the house relatively clean, get the kids and me ready to go to childcare/work, make good nutritious healthy breakfasts, lunches and dinners (not just peanut butter sandwiches, breakfast bars or tinned spaghetti every day), go to work, pick the kids up, come home, feed, bath and play with the kids, then put them to bed. All on no more than 5hrs broken sleep every night. EVERY ****ING DAY. You can't manage it onc in every while? You can't even do more than wash dishes? He didn't even make dinner, or get meat out or anything. I had an atrocious night sleep (nothing new, but worse than usual!) and I was sooo looking forward to coming home and having a nanna nap. But when I got home he says 'Lets go out and get some food for dinner. I won't be here remember. He has a boys night out- a poker night. Yes I remember, I want to have a sleep cause we will be having a horrible night as we usually do when you're not here. Plus I've got the headache from hell and my eyeballs are hanging out of my head. Nope, we need food for dinner. So he gets Lily ready to go out. But Liam can't go cause he needs to be fed and DH can't wait 20mins til he's finished. PLus he woke from his arvo sleep at 12. He's tired.....Arrrrghhhhh!!!!!!!!! I have told him soooo many times not to put him to bed til after 1 at the earliest for his arvo nap cause he WILL NOT have 3 sleeps anymore. But hey what would I know I'm not just his mother. So my arvo sleep went out the window. I was stuck at home with a tired whinging baby, with my headache from hell. When DH got home at 5pm, he had a chicken and pasta salad and bread. So not what I wanted and so not very healthy. I had a bit fed and bathed the kids. He kept on asking whats wrong but I just couldn't talk to him. I was trying very hard not to be resentful and allow him his night out, but he also had soccer for four hours on Sunday and I've had no break at all since......I don't even remember. About two weeks. I feel like I live in ground hog day. All I do is clean cook look after kids don't sleep clean more, and around we go again and again.
Ok think I've gotta stop now....that's enough whining. Sorry. Again.
Big hugs Kel...you poor thing! You sound like you need some time out!!! I hope you plan some for yourself on the weekend!! I hope you have a better day today...xo
Hey, maybe it would be a help to your dh for you to leave a list of things you'd like him to try and get done??? Just a thought....
Mel - LOL at finding the second name harder - Try no.4! LOL - I have absolutely no idea for names this time around...I had Lily for a girls name the whole way through as well and now one of my friends is p/g and calling her girl Lily...Not that I would imagine I'm having a girl but is it bad to call them the same name as a friend??? She's just an old school friend - we don't get together socially or anything I just drop in every 6 months or so to say hi and we chat on facebook...????
Bec sounds like she's doing well!! I have Ethans mchn on Thur - I would be surprised if he ways that! LOL!
Oh no about the poo on trampoline!! Gross! LOL...hope you got a better nights sleep last night!! Ethan slept through again thank god - it's been about 2 weeks...I think I may go in to him to early because he grizzled at about 11.30pm and I just let him go for a few minutes and he went back to sleep until 6.40am!
Would have been great if Dylan wasn't up regularly until 1am...Dh was out so I had to keep getting up so I'm sooo tired today...
We have a day at home today though so that's nice...just going to chill out - really need to get some washing and housework done but so can't be bothered...
Chat later !
Hugs Kel- blokes are funny beings arent they! My dh tries very hard but gives up just as quickly because...they dont do things for him, so I am left cleaning up the mess so to speak!
Kris- bec was up every three hours last night. I just think its her teeth, Shes almost crawling properly now. She does it really slowly but can only do a few movements before sliding down.
Nothing wrong with calling her whatever name...if she turns out a girl!!! Different if it was a real close friend.
Ok..tmi...my nipples are tingling right now!!! I still have drops of milk. I have boobie issues! Gosh I am so clucky I think thats my problem!
Mel - awww bugger being up so much! Hopefully those toothie pegs pop through soon! Yeah that she's starting to crawl!!!
I think it's best I start thinking of boys names given my history - LOL!!!!
omg...tingling nipples??? Are you sure your not p/g???
3 more sleeps until my scan!!! I'm so nervous...I kind of feel like everythings ok now but in saying that it wouldn't surprise me if there's no heartbeat given my dates...aaahhh - trying not to think about it too much...I'll be really cross though if all this nausea and tiredness is for nothing - LOL!!
Chat later!
I'm sure everything will be fine... you have a lot of symptoms. I am definately not pg. I just finished af.. and I am still on the pill
