Hey all... thought i would bump us up again. So quiet in here. I think I am just trying to escape by coming on here. Livs tantrums drive me batty. I am tired and want to sleep. Rebecca has done well with 1 week of bed! Olivia had a massive nightmare last night. Took an hour to stop her screaming/thrashing and hitting. Shes cranky today!
Hope youre all well
Hello ladies!!
I am around, just been busy with having Damien away for a fwe days and having to do it all on my own. I so hate it! I would be a terrible single mum. The kids were good mostly though and I handled it better than last time. Hoping he doesn't have to go anywhere for a while now though!
Mel, we are having tanties here too. They usually aren't too bad, but sometimes she has a doozy. I just send her to her room and tell her she can come out when she finishes carrying on! I can't stand her screaming and the attitude she has sometimes either. Lately my kids have been in destructo mode. Just destroying stuff and making a mess in general.
I'm trying to be organised and treat being home as my 'job' because I am finding I think that I have heaps of time and think I will do stuff later and it never gets done. I have dishes pile up for two days and clothes in piles everywhere when I think like that, so I try to make sure I do tasks every day before anything else I feel better for it and feel like I have achieved something if the house is at least tidy. I think I might be trying to be too perfect though. I need to find a balance. I just went off at Damien for not helping today but he has, just not like I wanted him to. He looked after the kids and took them to the park. Let me sleep in and rest with a bit of time alone. But he didn't do any house work. I just want him to walk a day in my shoes. Totally do what I do for one day. But he just can't seem to fathom the time factor and being organised. He said he'd cook dinner, got snags out for dinner. But there was only 5 in the packet for 2 adults and 2 kids (who luuurrve snags!) so I said I didn't want any. I came into the kitchen at 5pm and they were wtill sitting ont he kitchen bench. The oven wasn't on for the oven chips he wanted to cook with them and they take about 25mins in our oven. He had nothing else prepared. So I did it, I cooked dinner and it was ready at 5.45. Dinner is normally 5.15/5.30 for the kids. So then everything was late. I was trying to sort out the kids toys in the playroom and pack them up since they had been out on the floor for a few days. I went nuts at him and he got cranky at me. Then went and started washing the dishes. But it was time for the kids to have a bath. He just has the worst timing. Now it's nearly 7.10 and almost 30mins past Liams bed time. But you know what. I'm not going to nag. I'm not going to say anything. Mainly because I'm stressing myself out and I am getting a mega headache. But he has no idea. He told me he can't look after the kids and clean stuff.....well buddy welcome to my ****ing day. That's what I do all day every day. Clean cook and look after kids. Adn on top of that now I'm making a baby too! No it's not easy. Yes it's monotonous and boring some days. Yes I'm tired like I've never been tired before. But I do it on time most days. The kids are happy and healthy. Because that's what I do....
Arrgg, sorry...just needed to get that out. He's making me crazy, but I'm feeling guilty because he is so good to me. He loves me to death. I know that. He would do anything for me. BUt he just has no idea!!! Plus i'm pg and irrational!
Hi to everyone else. Hope you're all well, as well as your bubs and bus in tums!
Hey all, hows things?
Kel- hope youre doing ok. I hear you about your job! I hear you about everything youre saying. Just some big hugs.
Kaz- where are you? I just looked at your ticker and you should be due for your morph scan.... so are you finding out and will you be telling???
Kris- hows it all going?
Mel and Jen... hi:)
As for us... all is good here in la la land! Rebecca has been in her bed for 2 weeks and the only thing that is a nightmare is getting her to sleep! On the odd occassion she will get up during the night, but is easily resettled (touch wood I havent just jinxed myself). Bed time is hard because Olivia is a bit needy and needs to have someone lay with her to go to sleep. She only takes 5 minutes to get to sleep, but if Rebecca is awake, then she will climb on the bed and jump on us and wriggle and just be a pain! If I try and sit with Becca to get her to settle, then Olivia will constantly come over to 'help'. So now its taking 2 of us to get them to sleep. Tonight Adam showed his magic and showed me how he counts to them til they fall asleep. I can understand why... he has such a deep soothing voice that I started to drift off and then he went to get me up and both girls were asleep!
Tomorrow I have my diabetes test. Hopefully I should be ok. Although I am finding that I have a huge sweet tooth this pregnancy. I cant help myself. Suprisingly I have not gained as much as I had with the girls.... I am mostly carrying out front, with the girls I carried all around.
Ok enough of me....
Hi ladies! We've been out and about a lot with school starting back this week :)
Mel, we envision the same sort of problems in getting both boys to sleep in the same room. Jr is our adventurous one and I reckon he'll want to play and wake Ben up as he's dozing off. As it is, Ben goes to bed before Jr most nights and Jr goes into his room and yells at him to "WAKE UP!" Oh dear!
How did the GD test go?
Kel, if I looked at looking after the house as a job right now, I'd be out on my backside :lol: I've been so unwell that the house looks terrible. I even went to visit a friend today because she said she was going to drop in and I couldn't bare to let anybody into our house right now :lol:
I read about Lil and the loo on FB! I need some tips and advice as we're still having poo issues with Ben. In fact, I just took his pooey nappy off him after he came and asked me for one so he could do a poo. Clearly it's not an understanding or physical problem, I just don't know the best way to go about it...
Kaz, Kris and Jen - HI!
AFM: MS seems to have tapered off although I'm having terrible digestive problems. Not heartburn, just indigestion. No matter what I eat, or how much, it just sits in my gut in a lump. So far today I've only had a green apple, which is the only thing I seem to be able to digest without issue :( I'm so over it!
The boys are doing great, Ben's back at school and Jared has had a word explosion. The stuff that he comes up with is pretty amazing! He's due for his 18 month shots, but I forgot to book him in, so I guess next week will have to do :)
This "I want..I want I wat..... Bull crap is driving me insane and I am going to scream at everyone!!!
If I say ok, then its stil i want i want until she gets it.... gggrrrr...... blooming roses!
Breath! hhmmmmmmmmmmmm
Ok that said! GD test... I havent heard anything so am assuming all went well, however I did get a letter in the mail from the birth centre saying my vitamin d is low and I have to take suppliments and get some sun. Am assuming this means more blood tests down the track!
Rebecca is still driving us batty with bed time. She hasnt had a sleep today because she can get out and will stand at her door banging. Yesterday she came out of the room, lais on the elmo couch and fell asleep in fromt of the tv. We went out last night and got home at 920... Olivia was asleep by 930 and we were still struggling with Becca at 10! GGGrrr!
Dh is just put off his apprentice as there is no work. So we are in limbo.....
Am in my 3rd trimester... its going quick!
Sorry about the crabby post.....
Hello lovely ladies,
Mel, how is Bec going in her bed now? I hope she's got it together! I have been putting Liam on the lounge with Lily to have his day sleeps for the past 3 days. He's doing really well and falls asleep within about 20mins. I just can't rock him to sleep anymore, he's getting too heavy and my back is getting pretty sore with the pg already! I hope you're having a better day today. I'm haveing a pretty ordinary one with Damien called into work again early this morning.
Lily went through an I want stage a few weeks ago which was driving me nuts too. I just refused to answer her until she asked nicely, now all I need to do is say 'Pardon' in a particular tone and give her a look and she says 'Excuse me mummy may I have....' LOL! Takes a bit to get them into the habbit though.
So have you got bubs names sorted yet?? We have changed our girls name, we are going with Emily Louise for a girl, and Dylan Matthew or Dylan James for a boy (at the moment, it's already changed a few times, lol!) I am absolutely loving Emily for a girl though. Finding out the sex....well I'm about 70% sold on the fact that we will. Damien really wants to and it will make buying stuff for bubs easier, but I did love the feeling of not knowing with Lil. I have a feeling it's a girl, I have been right with all of my pg, even my angels. Lil is still telling me she is going to have a sister too she told me the other day- 'no more boys ok mummy!' LOL, like I can choose, hehe! But so cute! I cna't believe you're in your 3rd trimester!! I feel like this pg is dragging, being almost 15weeks.
Dis Mel, we have issssews with getting our kids to sleep too. They're in the same room too and I have to put Liam to bed first and then Lily or they just yell at and play with each other and get into hysterics and fits of laughter. I put Li to bed at between 6.45 and 7pm, I have to lay with him, for about 20-30mins. Lily is great and will watch tv for that time, and usually doesn't move a muscle, lol! Then I put Lil to bed the same way. Has been this way since Liam was born, though I'm going to have to try to teach them to go to bed by themselves before the baby comes because I have no idea how I would manage to do that sort of routine with 3 kids on my own...and if I'm bf'ing this bub as well as I did with Liam, then it will make it all the more difficult...
LOL, my house goes through stages, with my moods. Last week I was really motivated and did really well keeping everything clean and tidy, clothes washed, dishes washed, floors vacced furniture polished.....but today and yesterday I had not so great days and the house reflects that- the dishwasher is still full and the dishes are piling up on the benches, there is a machine full of washed clothes in the laundry, plus two baskets of clean clothes on my loungeroom floor, plus a line of washed clothes outside, the dining table has weetbix stuck to it from a breakfast food fight the kids had (oh joy!)......I'm sure you get the picture....! It's not pretty! It stressed me to have a messy/dirty house, but some days I'm just so over everything I just can't pick myself up to do it. Sometimes my funk lasts for a week or two with me just doing the minimal stuff I have to to be hygenic, then sometimes I am the clean freak from hell and the place shines. I am a clean freak at heart, I used to clean the house every week from top to bottom before I had the kids, but I just can't keep that up now I am getting back into it now the kids are older and my clean periods last longer than the messy ones, but I can see as I get bigger and things get harder and then when baby comes, things will go down hill agian!
Well, I am going ok. Up and down days. I have had a few days of some back pain, hard to bend over, tough to pick up Liam, stuff like that though I have been doing a fair bit around the house, but still it's frustrating knowing that it is just going to get worse I iwll be a cripple by the end of the pg! I don't think my back would hold out for another one even if I wanted to try! Other than that I have been pretty moody and sensitive. Though I think that's a mixture of a bit of the fact of the move and the stress of being home 24/7 with the kids with no real outlets for me, and just the hormones and stuff! I expected it though, I do get moody with my hormones! Today is not a great day. DH was supposed to have 3 days off starting today but he was called into work this morning at 6am! And he's still not home and called to say it's unlikely he would be home anytime soon. Sooo sux. We had planned to go on a day trip and do a bit of exploring of the area, a bit of light bushwalking, go out to some pub in the middle of nowhere that is supposed to be good...just some good family time and get out of town, but that's out the window now :( I'm not even sure we'll get the groceries done...
Ok, I'm off I should do something constructive while the kidlets sleep....or have a coffee and eat some chocolate.....mmm decisions!
Sleep time for Miss Rebecca is going somewhat... poorly! Just a nightmare getting her to bed. To top it off I think shes getting her back molars and the past few nights I have next to no sleep. Will try that approach with Olivia, am so sick of the I want stage..... even if shes getting it she keeps saying it til the job is done!
As for names, I think we have settled on our original! Amy Melissa. Only because Olivia has spoken and if we mention another name she says, no its Amy! I need to get a capsule for the car and wash some clothes. I also have to sell Olivias near new maxi rider and get a different booster coz I wont be able to fit 3 across my back seat with the maxi rider... its so wide! Am looking at the s&s hi liner or the infa secure vario max.
I got Olivias enrollement form in the mail tday for 4 year old kinder for next year, but am going to put in for a deferral.
Well better make the most of it...... good night!
Hi girls,
Well, things are ok here, the kids are anyway! I had a horrible day yesterday emotionally. I am so up and down and I hate it. The poor kids are so confused when I'm here balling my eyes out for no apparent reason that they can see. Liam is being clingy and emotional with me because of it and he's making me crazy, not that he means to but I am not handling the kids being on me or near me ALL the time very well. Lily is being a bit clingy too and has started to wee in her pants which is most likely to do with the changes with moving plus me being a bit of a mess. It's raining cats and dogs here too which isn't making things any easier, having the two kids cooped up for 3 days is making mummy nutty! I let them out the other day to play in the mud cause I was going nuts at the running around like idiots. They had a ball and I just threw them in the shower then put them in the bath for a while when they came inside. But it has literally been raining all day for 2 days now so I can't let them out in the rain. Anyway, I have nothing but whinging to do so I will stop there.
Mel, maybe the teething would explain the bad sleeping for Becca? I hope it's that easy and once her teeth are through she will get back into a groove with bed time. It's so over whelming sometimes by the end of the day to have the kids playing up when they're tired and you're tired and all you want is peace for a while.
I am worrying about the carseat thing too. I'm not sure if 3 seats will fit into our car at all, being a medium sized car. I'm hoping at best we can just buy Lily a slimline booster seat and give the baby her carseat (it's reversable) and it will all work out ok, then I'm hoping at worst I might have to buy 3 new carseats which are slimline ones rather than get a whole new car! Although I would adore a new car, now isn't really the time for it. Another year or two would be perfect for us, though we could do it now if we have to...We are going to Sydney in a few weeks, so I willl sort it out then, and I will also start buying baby some things. And hopefully we will have the 20wk scan and find out the sex. I'm pretty sure we will now, just because it will make life a little easier with buying stuff.
Ok that's pretty much it. Hope you're all well.
OMG!!! I just wrote a huge post and lost it!!!!! GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
So can't spend the time rewriting it right now...will try and do it later!
So for now just a big hello to everyone...must get the boys to bed or they'll never have a nap! xoxoxoxoxoxo
Doh Kristie... was looking forward to hearing from you:)
Take 2...
Ok...had a shopping trip this arvo - got a nice top and pants from esprit...pity I can't fit into them very well - LOL! I've got a good 7kg to lose and I'm getting nowhere with it at the moment...I refuse to buy bigger sizes though...lol...Michael's agreed that I can get a tummy tuck but I have to lose my weight first...my tummy is so ruined from the kids - lots of stretch marks and I just want it to go back to normal...
ANYWAY...
Kids are good! Jayden is so gorgeous - very smiley and cheeky...I started him on rice cereal yesterday but he wasn't too keen! Little bugger has been feeding heaps overnight and I'v ebeen sooo tired...we tried last night and he settled after an hour adn then slept an extra 2 1/2 hours so he can't have been too hungry!
Ethans great - So gorgeous - just at that age where he's trying to so hard to learn lots of words and talk lots! He's so beautiful and has the best big smile!
Dylan is great! Such a cheeky little thing! He's got a good temper on him but he seems to have settled a lot lately...
Louis is good too! He's fully reading now and I just cant' believe he's going to school next year...I'm going to miss him so much!! God I'm a sook...lol
We've been talking about moving up to Bonnie Doon again...hopefully at the end of next year or when we get our new car paid off...we can't get past the idea of getting some land - hopefully around 20 acres or so so that's the dream at the moment...cross fingers it will happen - we've got a pretty good plan in place and financially should be ok so we'll see...
Kel - Sorry to hear you've been a bit down...it can be hard when you're p/g and have other kiddies to look after...big hugs! xo Love the names you've chosen as well!
Mel - Bugger you're having sleep time drama's...hope she settles down soon...xo
Dis - Hope you start feeling better soon!
Kaz and Jen - Hope you're well!
Sorry I haven't written any more...so annoyed I lost that post from earlier...chat soon! xo
Hello ladies!
Kris, great to hear from you! I'd love to live on acreage but I'm such a sook, I couldn't move far from family. You have family at Bonnie Doon don't you? I know what you mean about Louis going to school next year. I was such a sook when Ben started at Montessori and that's only three hours a day! :lol:
Kel, I'm finding the boys want to be ALL over me ALL the time at the moment too and with my growing belly, there just isn't room! Drives me absolutely bonkers. And it sucks that daddy just won't cut it it has to be mummy. Grrrrr! Craig would willingly have them climb all over him and they wrestle together all the time (Jared is such a rough nut!) but when it comes to cuddles, it has to be me. I'm sure I'll miss it one day, but right now it's just too much. As for the cold and wet, I'm totally over it too! We had two days of sunshine on the weekend and I made Craig take the boys into the yard for some soccer and running around. They had a fantastic time and slept like logs last night. Today we're back to cloudy cold again :( Looks like more rain too :(
Mel, if you were closer I would buy the maxi rider off you! We're in the market. I've done some research and I'm pretty certain we can fit at least two maxi riders and another seat in the back of our commodore wagon. Just by looking at Ben's seat it doesn't look like it takes up 1/3rd of the backseat and it certainly takes up less than Jared's turn a tot. We've got to start sorting all that stuff out soon I guess. Time seems to be going pretty quickly now. I've got to remember to book in for my scan too....
Hi Jen and Kaz!
Feeling a bit sick today. I got up at 8am and the boys at 8:15 and 8:30. I had to wake them both up! Ben is supposed to start school at 8:45 so I was running around like a madwoman trying to get us all out the door.
I have to call work today and see what I can do with leave. My LSL is due to finish on October 15 but I have a month of recreation leave (crazy I know!) that I would like to take before starting maternity leave - again! The uni has agreed to 9 months of full pay maternity for the next enterprise agreement, but it hasn't been signed off on yet (the union has some other issues to sort out yet). I'm hoping it all goes through before the end of the year - how awesome is 9 months full pay?!?! I'm the luckiest person in the world when it comes to my maternity leave.... I have only worked for 10 months of the last 3.5 years and have been paid at least half-pay for all of it! It's looking like I'll be going back to work full time after this bub though, so hopefully the uni will think it's been worth it :lol: Craig is going to be a stay at home dad :D
Hi!
What a day! I got a whole lot of housework done and then we all headed to the dentist this arvo...Louis needed a filling! I nearly died! He hardly eats lollies and brushes well...oh well. Michael was getting a tooth pulled but the dentis couldnt get it out - he has such a strong jaw he thinks he would have broken it if he had pulled any harder!!! poor thing...I was meant to get my wisdom teeth out but they ran out of time so I have to go back next week now! Cost nearly $600 and will probably cost nearly that again by the time I get mine done and MIchael goes back for fillings...It's so crap that it's so expensive!!!
It's been a huge day and I'm wrecked - only got about 5 hours sleep last night...cross fingers I get more tonight but it won't be likely - seems to be the average at the moment...
Dis - Yep - Michaels parents live up there...Is Montessori good? We're thinking of sending the kids to the Steiner school if we move to the country - are they similar do you know? Not sure though...Michael would probably prefer them to go to "normal" school...lol...It's certainly not cheap though!!
Yeah at the maternity leave stuff...that's great! Sorry the boys ahven't been giving you much of a break...
Ok..hope you're all well! Chat later!
Gees Kristie... those dentists sure know how to charge!!! Hope its not to painful in the purse next week! Good luck with finding a nice property and also the right schools for the kids. Hope you get some more sleep soon.
Mel- I went to the baby shop today and I think I am hanging onto the maxi rider. I will get a slim booster for Olivia when Rebecca grows out of her s & s compaq. Then Bec can have the maxi rider, then when this little lady gets too big for her compaq she can have the maxi rider and I will get another slim booster. I looked at them all today and am tossing up between the baby love ezy up and the s & s hi liner. I have also put a bid on a capsule for the baby. I think they will all fit nicely!
Other than that..... maybe if we come into some money I might just get a van with 7 or 8 seats..... but not until the money tree starts growing!
Hope everyone is well. I am 29 weeks today:) If I go a bit early like I did with the girls, I have about 9 weeks left:) So very excited about meeting our little lady. Not so excited about the aches and pains that have started, in particular my hips. Oh and birth!!! Well I can deal with that. AM wondering if it will go faster. Olivia was 15 hours, Rebecca was 6 hours. Oh and I think we have gone back to our original name thanks to Olivia demanding that her sister is called Amy. Amy Melissa.
Hi ladeees!!
How are you all? We are going ok, though I am trying to prepare myself for DH working 7days straight....4day shifts and 3 night shifts. Days are fine, particularly as some days he's home by 3.30pm, it's the nights that I hate! But he has to work and I need to get over this stupid phobia I seem to have developed since moving out here! I used to get a bit anxious when we lived in Sydney, but here it can be full on anxiety attacks, I feel nausious, dizzy, breathless when he's leaving for work....and it's so silly! Ahh well,I will get used to it all, it has only been 12 weeks since we came here.
We are going to Sydney if a week and a half!! I'm looking forward to seeing friends and family. It's Liam's birthday then too so we will have a little party there, plus my bday is a few days later (OMG, 32!! I'm starting to feel old, lol!) so I am going on a shopping spree with my tax money! Sunglasses, some nice maternity bras (are there any such things?? LOL!) new underware, shoes....maybe a massage and haircut/colour too! I need some spoiling :) Plus I am having a kids-free day and I'm going to lunch with friends, and I'm hoping to offload the monsters to my SIL and/or mum so Damien and I can go out for dinner and a movie one night. For the first time in I can't remember, it will be luverly!
Kris, I'm planning on a tummy tuck in a few years too, plus some boobies too I think. We will need about 5ish years to save for it all though! When I lose this horrible weight (I will probably have at least 30kg's + to lose to get back to my pre baby weight) I am thinking my poor boobies will just be pancakes on my chest by then! I am so looking forward to likeing how I look again. It's been a loooong time since I have liked looking at myself in a mirror and I avoid all contact with them when I'm naked!
EEK @ your dentsit bill! I hate the dentist and haven't been since just before I got pg with Lily! I need to start to take the kids regularly and should go myself too. Damien also needs to go and hasn't been in even longer than me!
Dis, Damien is the same with our kids too. He doesn't mind to have them on him and playing, rough housing and cuddling them, but they just seem to naturally navigate to me when I'm sitting on the lounge watching TV or whatever, they HAVE to be on me. No matter if there's a seat for them sit on or not, they sit on me. I do love hugs and kisses, but because I'm not getting anybreak from them at all at the moment, it's making me crazy to have them on me all the time.
9mths mat pay for you, wowee!! You're a lucky girl! They're are definately looking after you.
Mel, it's kinda scary how fast time flies when you're pg huh? Can't believe you're almost 30wks! Wow!! These first weeks are going fairly slowly for me, but I think it's because I hadn't felt bubs moving and was always worrying about if she (it!!) was ok. Now I'm feeling at least 1-2 little nudges each day things seem to be going a bit faster because I'm not constantly worrying if things are good! I'm 17weeks, almost 18 according to my own dates, lol! Nearly half way there. My back is telling me baby is getting rather large now, as are my hips. I am getting a stabbing pain in my right ribs already if I sit or lay down in one spot for too long. I so want to enjoy this pg, but my body is just so unfit and temperemental this time! Hopefully I can enjoy some of it....I am at the moment, especially the little kicks, and my belly even though it's ginormous! I think I will grow into it soon, lol!
Well, our car died a week or so ago. We went to Griffith for what should have been a day trip (a 3 1/2 hour drive to and fro!) but it turned into an overnighter because our car carked it. I was worried we'd get stucka nd have to hire a car or it would die on the return trip, but we made it back the next day thatnkfully! We had to have it patched up while we were there so we could get home again! But it is sooo not drivable now. We were going to take it to Sydney but it's too dangerous. We need to buy a new car. Which in a way is good because now we can get one that will definately fit in the kids and seats and all of that, but financially it's a bit sucky, though we will ab able to do it. We had planned for a new car next yr or the yr after anyway. Just brings our plans up a little earlier! Plus it's going to be much more exxy for this trip to Sydney since we need to hire a car now to get there and get around for a week. Luckliy our tax has come in and reimbursements from Damiens work have finally come though (only 10 weeks late!) so we have all our money back to where it was before. Not that we're rich, far from it but we're not going fortnight to fortnight now. Plus with the new financial year, I'm now getting my parenting payments too (I had earned too much last financial year to get anythign!)
Ok gotta get the monsters ready for their naps. Hope you're all well. xx
Kel- all the best with your trip back to Sydney. Hope you manage to find a car to suit you and that you have some fun and exciting you time. I hear you on the aching body. My hips just ache. Today I was doing the vacumming and mopping and now I have to sit for a while. On top of that I have heart burn and reflux... none of which I had with the girls. Am 30 weeks tomorrow.... so according to my history, I think I have only 8 to 9 weeks tops left! Its getting exciting. I ended up getting a capsule off ebay for the baby for $85. I just need to wash clothes and work out where we will put them and also pack my bags. It just feels like its flying now. Getting slightly nervous on how I will manage with 3 of them, especially since the girls and I walked to the park the other day and Olivia screamed all the way home because she didnt want to come home! Shes getting excited too and towards the end of September I think we might have to do some girly things together and also we were talking about getting the baby her own dolly so I asked Olivia if she would like to help me choose it... shes excited about that.
The persistance has paid off with Olivia saying I want... now she says can I please. Finally a break through. Shes still lazy with her eating. Although some days are better than others. I told her this morning that I wont have time to feed her when her sister comes along. It drives me batty, but sometimes if I dont help her she will not eat... even if shes hunry. Have worked out finger food and pasta/rice is best for her doing it herself!
better go.... girls are at daycare and I have things to do!
Mel, I'm getting heartburn and reflux again too. Maybe another hairy little monkey like Lily was, lol! I didn't have it so bad with Liam. But I expect it with pg...all that relaxin in my body! I get it sometimes when not pg, so it's just 1000000 times worse when pg. I make sure I have a stockpile of anti acids! I have everything in my cupboard, milanta chew tablets, quickeze lolly things, gaviscon liquid, milanta effervescent tablets.....soon I will have to get some zantac too because I am just taking too much of the other stuff some days! The zantacs are good because they work for a few hours for me. I have to rest after doing not alot too. Damien and I went down the street with the kids yesterday and then walked for a while too, and when I got home my back was screaming at me to sit. I could barely move when I got up the pain that shot through my back was rediculous. Not looking forward to late pg this time!
I'm a little worried how I will cope with 3 too. I will be putting the older two in childcare for one day. At least I will have one day to be with baby and try to either sleep or get stuff done. But just with how my emotions are at the moment I'm worried about how things will be. I just hope the baby sleeps better than the other two did/do! Ah well, I keep telling myself it's only that hard for a year or so, lol!
I'm glad Olivias manners have gotten better. Lily is being really good lately with how she asks for things. Though I have noticed she demands Liam to do things for her. Such a bossy boots. And Liam is her little lap dog, he will do anything for her! It's really cute that he wants to make her happy but I hate her taking such advantage of him!
Lily is still convinced we are having an 'Emily baby', lol. So I'm thinking like you Mel, Lily will have final say on a name for a girl!
Ok gotta go...screaming kidlets!
hey all... just a quick one
Pregnancy going well. Baby is breech at 31 weeks so just doing some exercises to help flip her. No doubt she will turn soon. We have had a bit of a scar with Becca. We found lumps in her neck which didnt respond to antibiotics, so she went for a scan and thankfully all came back normal.
Olivia is doing well, her tanties have died down a tad and her sleep is improving... amazing!
Happy birthday to Liam and to you too Kel. Have a fab time in Sydney. Are you getting your scan done? Will u let us know the flavour?
Hope everyone else is ok
