Hey we had our scan today so no personals...I just want to talk about me me me!!!
It all went great. HB was 150bpm, measuring a bit ahead of time but only a few days. Neck hinkeness looked ok so hoping the results from the bloods give a low risk. It has a nasal bone...which is a good indicator (absence of nasal bone indecated DS), 10 fingers and 10 toes...didnt stop moving. I talked to her about the nub theory for gender and she had a look and although she said it wasnt 100% she said it look a little like a boy down there...but could just be swollen vagina. Anyway it excites me that the baby is there and looks good. I still dont think we will find out. Will see on the day of the next u/s...May31st!!! Oh and I have a posteria placenta. I had anterior with both the girls so should fell some more defined movement . Morning sickness is still going, although its really nothing to do with food smells...its poo! Something that I usually dont really care to much about. The smell, the thought..makes me dry wretch! Doing dog poo runs horrify me and the walk to the bucket every day has me bent over near the plum tree trying not to up chuck!! Oh the joys. And whats with my super sore nipples? I would have to say that this m/s is so much more intense and longer than the girls.
Well hope you have a great day...you too kris, youre first alone with all your boys. You are a super strong women.
Woohoo!!! Yeah on a great scan!! I'm so happy for you!! Ooh I hope it was a little doody that you saw!! LOL! Yucko - hope the morning sickness goes for you soon as well!
Yep - first day on my own - it went well - was super busy though! Managed to get the kids dressed and fed, nappies changed, house tidy, washing done! LOL! Oh and I had a shower - the sign of a successful day! It was just the noise factor at times and having all 4 boys crying at me for something at one stage that nearly did my head in! hehe.
Went to the chiro this afternoon which was great...just for the peace and quiet even! hehe.
Well, it's been a while! I have 3 working days of work left, I'm sooo excited. I won't have to think about work for 4yrs! OMG!!!!! For the first time since I was 16, I won't be working or studying!!! I will be mummy and wife! Although I am thinking of studying, lol! I'm not even going back off maternity leave or anything! SSSOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!! We have the removalists organised and we have a house to go into, 4bdrms!! We won't have enough furniture, lol!
I am a bit disappointed I;m not pg this month! AF turned up last night . I hate this TTC rollercoaster. I'm so impatient. With Liam it was so good because we were'nt ttc and I found out at about 9ish weeks. It took so much pressure off! Adn the disappointment that I'm not pg each month too. It sucks!
We have a half busy weekend! Lily's birthday today. I can't believe she's 3!! Damien has to work tonight though so we are having her party tomorrow. Just a small family dinner, nothing too spesh this yr! Today I have to make her a Rosie cake. I'm just going to try to draw it onto a plain cake. I was going to try to make it like the Thomas cakes but I looked up how to do it and it's really in depth. I don't have the time with Damien working, so I will go with the short cut. I might make Thomas for Liam's bday! I have to make a lasagne for dinner tomorrow too, might make the sauce tonight! And I have to buy a few little party treats- lollies, chips....stuff like that for the kids. We gave her her big girl bike this morning, she was absolutely delighted to see it! We also got her a helmet, and Dora umbrella, raincoat and gum boots. She was sssooo excited! I also made some cupcakes for her to take to childcare on thursday, and she was so excited that they sang her happy birthday. She was really into her bday this year! I love it!!
Mel, I am so happy that your u/s went so well! I have my fingers crossed that bub is a boy for you! But as long as it is born normal healthy, it doesn't matter. I can't believe you're 13wks already! Time is so flying for me at the moment! I hope the M/S is lessening. I must admit, I don't really get it (and hopefully won't) not to the point of vomiting anyway.
Kris, I hope you're doing ok, I can't imagine how busy you must be! And happy bday (well, party day anyway, lol!) to Dylan!! Hope you all have a great party!
Ok, I should get things started, I have had a lazy morning, DH brought home some pancakes from maccas for breaky and a yummy strong coffee for me! It was so nice! Bday pancakes for Lil!

Happy Birthday to Lil and to Dylan tomorrow....
Kel- wow 3 working days, you must be so pumped. Good luck with it all. Sorry af turned up. Most likely you will fall afyter moving and you will be less under pressure. I hate the waiting too. Messes with your head. Hope the move goes well.
Kris- hope youre traveling well. I'm sure you are! Still looking forward to cuddles
Kaz- hows you pg going?
Jen, Mel...hope youre well.
Me- still queezy. I dont see the point of vomiting either. I havent yet, but I just gag, its terrible. This is the longest I have felt yuck. I hope it goes away soon. I am hoping its a boy too. Getting excited but I have to get to the 20 week scan and resist temptation! I really do want a suprise. Last night I had a dream we did the scan and didnt find out, but came home to view the u/s and there was a clear shot of his balls and a little willy!!! I hope I am not working myself up! I posted a pic up on the gender section of another forum and they all said boy! On here too, some have said boy. I am working myself up...arent i? Well I have no idea what to do today. My house is clean, beds are all changed, dh is at a training course and the kids are already asking to go in the car! Might take them for a nice long walk!
Dylans party was great today! Was such beautiful weather as well! He had such a great time - got all shy when everyone sang happy birthday...was very cute!!
Mel - Sorry to hear your still feeling so sick you poor thing! Yeah at thinking it may be a boy - I know you'd be soo excited!! My SIL, best friend and you are all p/g and not finding out and I've already started packing baby clothes away...bugger all you people having surprises - I want to start offloading stuff!! LOL!!
Kel - Happy Birthday to Lily!! Hope she had a great party!! Yeah on not long to move either!! Good luck TTC!!!
Am doing ok. My boobies hurt, I was thinking of making up an ode to them. The used to be fantastic! Now they are huge and hot and sore and saggy! The m/s seesms to have settled a little, but I am so tired, doesnt help when I am up several times a night. I got my NT scan/bloods back today and the results are within normal range, so all good. I have booked in my next scan for 6 weeks time. So excited.
Olivia is doing well. I started her on the reading eggs and its amazing! Shes picked it up so quickly. Must be the repition. We will be down the shops and she will say...mummy...theres the letter m! I love it. Shes growing so fast. I am still going to keep her home for an extra year though. So instead of being the youngest she will be the oldest. Just means I will have to entertain her for longer. Anyone else keeping theres home for the extra year...or who is going to 4 year old kinder next year?
Hope all is good...just relaxing tonight infront of the box!
Mel - LOL at your boobs...I'm a bit worried about what mine will look like when I'm finished bf Jayden...will need to invest in some great bras I believe! LOL!
How fantastic that your results all came back normal! Woohoo!
Yep, Dylan is only doing 3yo kinder next year...I'm keeping him back - I'd rather him cope with everything really well than struggle going early...I"m just looking at putting him into a pre-kinder class though at narre - it's one afternoon for 2 1/2 hours...think it will be great for him to go and make his own friends and do his own stuff without Louis...
Off to bed...am sooo tired - everythings blurry...lol...hi to everyone else!! Chat later!
Been such a long time since I've been in here, but I popped in to post something else and thought I'd drop in on you all.
Kel, I didn't know you were TTC! Good luck!
Kris, supermum, don't know how you find a spare five minutes to even turn the computer on!!!
Mel, Glad to hear all went well with the NT scan! It's hard not to work yourself up about something like that though... do you think you will hold out or find out?
The reason I popped in to BB.... Well, DH and I did it again! First month and I got a faint BFP yesterday. I'll be doing another one tomorrow because I'm only about 10DPO today (kinda guessing that though!_. It was four weeks on Friday since Jr gave up the boob - I'm sensing a trend! I told DH that after this bub we won't be able to even hang our undies on the line next to each other because that seems to be all it takes! LOL I barely need him in the room So, since I've only had one period in two years, I can't really tell when I'm due, but I'm thinking sometime between January 3rd and 6th. Could be a little New Year baby
By the way SHHHHHHH. Only my bestest friend knows at this stage. We're going to write a card to our mum's from "Ben, Jared and Spongey" on Mother's Day and that's when we'll let everybody know. Right now I don't even think I'm four weeks' along!!!!!
OMG,congrats Mel!!!!!!!!!! LOL, I didn't know you ere ttc either!!You would be due around New Yrs then wouldn't you? If I had have fallen pg this month I would have been due chrissy day!
We are onto our 3rd month now....feels like forever when I've wanted to be pg since Liam was about 9mths old! Now I really am the odd one out!! Maybe Liam needs to give up his boo....but he only has it twice a day...I fell pg with Liam when bfing Lil 3 times a day.
Wow Mel...fantastic news! Hope you have a fantastic pregnancy.
Kel- I still think that as soon as you move, you will fall pg. Not long now
All good here. Boobs have settled down a tad, had a squeeze of them and got some liquid gold!!! All in time for my sex drive to start reappearing. YAY! Am feeling pretty good, nausea settled down, although still have moments of queezy gags! Girls are going well. House plans are.....dunno! Long story but DH being self employed is making things very difficult to get $$. So its either build until we can afford it or hold off for a few years, or....buy an investment property instead ( because the bank will lend us loads more for that!) I am happy for the kids to share for a bit longer, although it will be a squeeze. Nothing a good clean out wont fix and some rearranging of furniture. It would mean bunks and a cot and new draws in the inbuilt cupboard. We are still waiting on final costs, then will make a firm decision.
Hope youre all well. Must go help dh finish the bath!
Just taking it day by day here - boys are well - Jaydens going well! I'm getting sick though which I'm so not happy about...I hate having a cold at the best of times but while I have to deal with all these boys is not so great! LOL! Dh has Mon & Tue off though so that's good! I'm just crossing fingers no-one else gets it but with the weather being as it is and all of us stuck inside chances are...
Congrats Mel!!!! Woohoo!!! Hey have a look at the new PPL scheme, it kicks in on Jan 1...
Mini-Mel - yay on the liquid gold ... hopefully I'll have a bit of that this time
Kris - yuck on the cold, loving seeing your photos come up on facebook!
Lil - well a Xmas Day bub would suck with birthdays, they'd all roll into one! It'll happen when it happens!
Us - well tomorrow is Pip's b/day and we had the childcare kids' party today at the miniature railway - it was fun, we even got my mum on a train Right now I'm cooking the cake for tomorrow's family "do" at the Zoo. Finding I'm so exhausted, I have no idea how you cope Kris with 3 and preggers!!! You truely are a superwoman!
Anyhows, have a lovely night all, good to see you again DG. Dream pretty.
Thanks girls! I'm feeling sick already, but so far it's just an annoyance. Hopefully it won't be too bad when we're in Japan. I will be seven weeks' then... I was eight weeks pg with Ben when we went to Japan last time
Kaz, CONGRATS!!!! I didn't know you were pg (well obviously, since I haven't been here for so long!!) Congratulations!!!!!
Kel, I can't get pg while I'm bfing, even a little. I know a lot of people can, I'm not one of them. Jr gave up the boobs four weeks and two days ago. Ben gave up the boob and a month later I was pg...I can tell you we won't be relying on it after this bub though.... Obviously, you can get pg while feeding though so just see how you go with the move
Mel, we're staying put even though we only have a three bedder. We want to pay off our mortgage completely before we move or knock down and rebuild. I figure I shared with my sis forever so the boys can share for a few years. We broached the idea with Ben yesterday though and he wasn't keen. He suggested the new baby share Jared's room (hypothetically, he doesn't really know we're having a bub yet).
Kris, get better! I just got over a horrible cold. I found Betadine throat gargle AMAZING, but I know you're not supposed to take it while pg, so I don't know if you can take it while bfing.
Okay, gotta go eat. I'm SO hungry, something I didn't have while pg with the boys.
Hey Mel.... we have a 3 bedder but in reality its only a 2 bedder with an office. DH is self employed and we use the small room for his office. The girls already share, but its a fair size room. I was just in there before with dh and it will be fine with bunks and a cot for a few years until we have put a heap more on the mortgage... or decide what we are going to do! Was looking forward to more room (its only 9 squares..so quite small), especially for storage. Just means I am going to have to do a serious cull. As soon as I know what flavour this bub is...still not sure if I will find out... then we can get rid of clothes if its a boy. I have so many containers full of clothes.
Kaz- glad you had a great day yesterday. I know what you mean about being tired...I have no idea how Kris does it all. I suppose its all out of necessity! Looking forward to catching up with you and Kris soon. Happy Bday today to Pip.... did I tell you that Patrick is #1 name on our list...followed by Nathan. I have no idea for a girl though!
Kaz - Omg...I'm so sorry...I totally forgot about Pips b'day party yesterday...what an awful friend I am!! I hope the little man had a great day and super special birthday today as well!! Probably just as well we didn't go with all these colds though...
Disgirl - Yeah on going to Japan soon - how fun!! I'm sure the boys will be happy to share - we've got Louis and Dylan in one room, Ethan in the other, but bubs will eventually share with Ethan - so 2 in each room...
Mel - You'll be right in your house - there's always a way!! I can understand wanting more space though...
Well, I'm sick with this cold, Dylans got it, Ethan and baby Jayden have been sneezing heaps today and Louis seems ok so far...omg...it's going to be a full on week if everyone gets sick! It's just a cold so hopefully won't be too stressful!
I'm feeling quite good after having Michael home for a few days and getting a 2 hour sleep in this morning - still means I just got 8 hours but it's amazing how much better we cope with enough sleep!! Jayden is sleeping quite well overnight the last couple of nights as well so hopefully he keeps it up!
ok..will be heading off to bed shortly...chat later!
Well, this is my first week as a SAHM again, and it feels kinda strange knowing that this will be my life for a few years, lol! When I was at home before on mat leave I knew the time would be short and limited. With Lil I had 8mths off and with Liam only 5mths before going back to work. So this time knowing that although the time is limited, it will be a long time before I have to go back to work. I'm going to go down to the library to find out when the kids reading session is on so we have at least one thing to do for the next few weeks, lol! DH is off work for the next few weeks until we move too because they didn't want to roster him on for half a roster and then we move. So he's here to keep us occupied a bit too (and to drive me batty!).
Lily is sick at the mo. Just a cold, but she's a bit miserable, very snotty, watery eyes and croaky voiced. She might have a sore throat too cause she told me she had a sore voice this morning, lol. So I gave her some panadol and she's been ok. I think I might be getting it too, my throat is a bit scratchy. I'm debating if I should take her to the doc. She's had the snotty nose since Saturday. And her voice is getting croakier every day. But no fever or anything, and she seems relatively happy to play. A little sooky and sleeping really well in the day time, but still eating ok and drinking heaps....think I just convinced myself she's ok for a few more days, lol! If it doesn't clear up by Friday I'll take her to the doc.
Mini Mel, yay that you're feeling a bit better and the m/s is easing.
Kris, you're doing so well with all your boys! You seem to handle adversity with such a great attitude. I think I'd be a blubbering mess if I were you, lol! Especially feeling under the weather and having so much to do! I hope you're feeling better today and that the boys are all still well.
Kaz, to Pip!! I can't believe our bubs are 3!! They're setting so big! I hope you all had a great time at his party!
LOL, with the bdays. We do have a few around then! Plus my brother was born on chrissy day and he says that it sucks! I am kinda glad we're not having a chrissy bub. But I have a kind of urgensy to be pg cause DH has put a time limit on when we have another baby. He wants to stop ttc by August when Liam turns 2. He doesn't want too much of a gap between our bubs. I don't either but I'm not going to stop wanting another baby, just because Liam is two. I will most likely want it more because he's growing up! Oh well, what will be will be.
Morning...we are sick too! Must be this crap weather. I have a head cold, bec is on abs for her cold/chest... and Liv was in with us this morning all snotty and congested. Dh is yet to get it but he usually does so its only a matter of time! I have been up since 5am because Liv was in bed with us and she was sleeping across the bed with her legs pushing dh out so he cracked it, then she started to cry because she wanted to sleep sideways, then dh decided it would be a great idea for me to get her some sniffy to unblock her nose... we dont have any after me searching the cupboards...so she ended up with dimeptapp. The Becca woke up for the day and thats the start of my day!. men and their ideas. He got to go back to sleep til 630ish! Luckily Liv is still sleeping, I couldnt deal with her being cranky. I am cranky coz I am jealous of them getting more sleep! And I feel like poo! Oh well I will live!
Kel- congrats on the staying at home journey. I hope you enjoy it. Its great being at home with the kids and watching them...although some times!!!
. I hate this TTC rollercoaster. I'm so impatient. With Liam it was so good because we were'nt ttc and I found out at about 9ish weeks. It took so much pressure off! Adn the disappointment that I'm not pg each month too. It sucks!
I told DH that after this bub we won't be able to even hang our undies on the line next to each other because that seems to be all it takes! LOL I barely need him in the room 
to Pip!! I can't believe our bubs are 3!! They're setting so big! I hope you all had a great time at his party!
