Op- Hope the S&S helps...they do get things going if you are ready.
Olive- How are you chick, sorry really can't wait to catch up, hopefully we will all be healty soon
Nai- New Job?? Also I just wanted to say, after seeing your FB photos this evening, even though I have not met you, you look like you have a lovely family and would be the most calm and gentle person, I love that you seem to have so much respect for you DP, I always feel so warm and fuzzy after seeing photo's of your fam,ily, you can see the love in them, hope I make sense so hard to put feelings down in words sometimes
Ali- How did the other staff take your promotion news?? and did you sort out the oven?
Maylna- How are you darl... I too have been a slack buddy so don't sweat the small things, I'm sure everyone understands.
Heaven- woohoo on the all nighter...fingers crossed this is just the start of many nigts ahead.
Lilima- How 's the rest of your day been with food? DD can decide she will be really fussy at times too.
Shell- Glad the circus was good, we too have been going round and round with illness, like so many other ppl I know, it is full on.
Hi to Kaz, Ellie, Holly and anyone else I have missed.
AFU- well as you know I've been a slack Buddy sorry, lots going on I'm back to work in 7 weeks and actually realy looking forward to it..so sick of having to count every penny. L has cut 8 teeth in about 5 weeks so full on dribble and miserable he now has 16 teeth!!!!, also lots of sickness, playing tag team in our house...DH just put himself to bed with a Man cold....both DS and DD have had it too!! Touch wood I don't get it. I have been making the most of being house bound and doing spring cleaning and going for lots of walks I have lost weight about 2kg so feeling quite good about myself atm,...
Noice nai! sounds very exciting.... you going to take the job?
pinny we WILL catch up next week, i hope the colds remove themselves from your house soon... eeekk at going back to work, its come around so quickly but im glad your looking forward to it!
16 teeth whhhhhhhhhhhhat! we still have .... 6 but shes cutting 3
AFU DD2 slept through again!! 6.30pm-6.05am, DH resettled her and she slept until 7.20am!
heaven - congratulations with the sleeping through the night - I thoguht i was the only one having baby sleeping problems.
Shell - thanks for the wishes re the book. finding the time to edit is tricky. Alex is uber clingy at the moment and I'm over it completely. Certainly won't be any siblings for him. How was the circuls?
OP - no I'm not seeing anyone, was supposed to but decided to work thru it on my own, but at the moment, it is a really heavy burden - even DH doesn't know about it.
Nai congrats on the job
AFM - I've been sick for a month - got a cold and it's just not budging. was supposed to go to the dr today but the stupid car needs servicing and DH hasn't changed the car seats over. argh!! He's so slack sometimes I wonder if he could work in an iron lung
The night before last Alex fell out of his cot, onto the mattress. Don't ask me how he managed to do it (it's set on it's lowest setting), but I think someone gave me a monkey instead of a baby.
Just thought I would let you all know that I am pregnant again, 8 weeks. I use a different username on this site now and thought if you saw if in the preg forums you might realise it was me.
Due Feb 8th 2011 (just before Milana's second birthday), but I am with a high risk Ob, getting regular scans and appts, he thinks we will do bed rest for at least a couple of weeks before and deliver by 34 weeks, which will be between xmas and new year.
It's going to be a stressful and difficult journey, but I had to at least give it a go, need to try and move on and ease the pain of her death just a little.
Had a scan a couple of days ago and 'Pip Squeak' is measuring to my dates with a strong heartbeat.
Wish you were all still be belly buddy group, really miss you all.
OP - hope all goes well with the birth.
Heaven - Congrats, and stalking you.
Tracy - Congratulations!! I am so happy for you - I hope Pip Squeak continues to grow from strength to strength. I am glad you have a good OB looking after you. Take care of yourself and your tribe - we miss you too We do think about you and Milana all the time.
OP - I think your little man is just too comfy - at least he made it to the new financial year (that means extra Baby Bonus I think? - he's looking out for you )
Pinny - LOL at me being calm! I'm more harried and frazzled at the moment. I do try to be clam though so maybe it is starting to work.
Malyna - good luck with your book! It sounds like A is a little monkey and very adventurous!
Heaven - yay on the sleeping through! I think we have turned a corner with the sleeping and Miss J is starting to sleep through more often than not. All 16 teeth are through which I think has made a big difference.
AFM - I am still waiting for the new contract so i haven't been able to resign from work, so still a bit in limbo. I wish it would hurry up!!!!
Tracey - hi, so great to hear from you and to hear your very exciting news. Congratulations! As Nai said, we do think of you often. Praying that Pip Squeak continues to be strong and healthy and its great to hear you've got a good Obs on board and will be having regular scans and things. Lots of love xxxxx
Nai - yep, he's definitely enjoying it too much in there Don't know what it means about the baby bonus? But either way I've already been taxed too much (my mat leave came through and they've taxed like over a third of it or something... heaps!) so I should do well next FY at tax time!
That's a bit crummy about your contract - get onto them!
Malyna - hi hi, still here! That's abit scary about Alex getting out of his cot!!! Might be time for a big bed?
OP - we have been sleeping on a mattress on the floor for the past 8mths, putting A in the cot was a last resort.
Went to the movies tonight and Alex is still up and running around - he had a very late nap - about 8pm, woke up and is full of the joys of spring - just got to wait for him to get tired.
Tracey- Congrats on your pregnancy, I can imagine it will be stressful time for you but also try make sure you enjoy it too. Keep us updated on your journey, we think about you often.
We've spent the morning in ED, Emily had the tiniest bit peanut butter toast and I noticed her top lip swelling, threw it out but noticed her mouth getting red blotchy then she rubbed her eye which caused that to swell up, so washed her face and hands down and drove off to ED, thankfully her tongue was ok and breathing was ok, I kept checking, thinking now I should've just called an ambulance would've been less stressful. They gave her prenisolone (steroid) and she has to have for next 2 days and I have to pick up an epi pen in case next time is worse reaction. So no more peanut butter in my house! Poor Ash not happy as lately she has been living on it!
shell, peanut allergy was/is my worse fear, nuts are in EVERYTHING its bad enough having an intolerance but thats no where as bad as as allergy, definatly get that epipen and take it everywhere
Tracey- So happy to hear that you are pregnant. My gf who lost her baby is trying again and said exacty the same as you. I am glad that your OB is looking after you. I have been meaning to ask you if you continued being a doula or not? I know it was something that you really wanted to do but wasnt sure how you would feel about it. Always thinking of you and beautiful Millana adn thank you for dropping in to let us know your news
OP- U getting some action over your way? I think that was what worked for your DD to bring on labour so tell DH to get busy! LOL! How have the family been? Hope they have backed off and are being supportive.
Shell- Just saw your post on FB!! Far out! glad all is okay. Do you know how to use an epipen? Actually I suppose you would being a nurse and DP should knwo being a teacher. Scary stuff
Malyna- Cant believe Alex got out of his cot! WOW! What a cheeky monkey. Lucky the mattress was on the floor.
Nai- How are you feeling today? Quite scary stuff there. Glad you are all in one piece still.
Heaven- Woohoo on DD sleeping through the night! YAY! Was going to ask you, are you going to find out the sex of the baby? I know you didnt with DD. Hope the MS is settling. I had it until 17weeks but I kind of just got used to it and then when I finally didnt have it, I felt it was so strange to not be throwing up everyday! LOL!
Ellie- How have you been? Thinkng of you and hoping you are able to get out of the house more.
Pinny- Yep officially promoted! Going to enjoy the hols and then will have a lots of work on my hands but it will look great on my resume and will be good to get some extra money. Also a big step for mums on maternity leave part time as they have never given an AP job to a jobshare position so we are stoked. Shows that so much of our hard work is being recognised and kind of makes the stress that was last term at school worth while. oven will be getting replaced but not sure when. They were shocked that it happened but at the same time, said it was the original. The hard thing will be now finding an oven to go in the space, as its a massive space and a normal oven put in its place would leave a big gaping whole in the cupboard. I can kind of see this being another **** fight but we have to kind of just put up with it as we cant afford to move anywhere else as we are getting such a good deal here. Frustrating!
Kaz- How are you and Jacob? I cant even imagine how cold it owuld be at your place. Have you had snow yet?
Holly- Where are you? havent seen you on FB or here? Hope all i okay and uni is going well.
to everyone else
AFM- We are going well. On holidays! YAY! DD being cheeky but cute as ever. Nappy rash has all gone. Curash nappy powder worked wonders and lots of bepanthen. I have also now got DD in the huggies nappy pants. Omg I love them! Make nappy changes so much easier and if they do a poo you can still undo the sides to easily get it off. Better get back to the chores while DD is asleep.
Oh man I'm gone a week or so and all sorts of stuff happens!!!
OP - Hope you're in labour now hun! Been thinking of you. I remember what it was like to have due date come and go. Take care. xx
Baby Butterfly - Oh that's just wonderful news. Sending you a massive congratulations hun. Thanks for stopping by and please keep us posted on how you and Pip Squeak are going. I think of you and Milana all the time. xx
Shell - OMG That's pretty full on hun! I'm so glad DD2 is ok and that her reaction was mild. I feel for your DD1 too, I love pb and would be devastated if we didn't have it in the house Hope your snot clears soon.
Olive - Yay on the sleeping through!!
Malayna - Great to hear from you hun. I was thinking of you the other day and wondered how you and DS were going. I wonder if I was thinking of you as you were posting in here........
Nai - Farout hun I hope you're ok. I think you're very brave to ride around city streets. I hope you heal quickly and they gave you some good drugs!! Congrats on your job offer too. Sounds great.
Bella - Congrats on your job promotion too hun. Wonderful news. Your DD is looking more and more grown up every day. Love the photos you post on fb. She's such a cutie. Well done on your weight loss too! That's such a fantastic loss.
Pinny - Glad you're looking forward to returning to work.
Heaven - Hooray on the sleep through. Hope it's the start of great things! I agree about how quickly they are developing now too. DS seems to know more and more every day and he understands exactly what's going on and what's being said etc. Can't wait til it's a two way street as I often don't understand what he is upset about yet Good luck hiding your ms from your mum, could you pretend you've got a bit of gastro or something?
Holly - Been thinking of you too hun. How did your exams go? Are the results back yet?
Lilima - the amounts you've mentioned sound similar to what DS eats. He is more of a snack on the go type of guy I hope her appetite improves. She could be just testing boundaries, that's all they seem to do at this age. Test reactions etc.
Ellie - Hope there's enough sleep going round at your place hun.
AFU - DS got that cold/flu you've all seemed to have as well a few weeks back. He ended up on ab's and home from day care for a week. I took some time off work then caught it myself and it knocked me hard. It's evil. I went to drs earlier this week and was told could only take panadol because b'feeding. Couple of days later the s/s were worse and panadol (which never did cut it btw), was having no effect at all. Had terrible sinus pain and splitting headache if I moved too quickly, normal headache rest of time. Nurofen didn't even touch it. I couldn't get into dr.s yesterday so took myself to A&E, waited nearly 2 hours and saw a wonderful dr. who's given me a bunch of drugs that are all fine to take while still b'feeding. Better yet, he didn't suggest I wean So now I have ab's, cough/snot stuff and panadeine forte. Feeling much better Was horrible and I hope those of you that have escaped it so far, continue to do so. DS is all better too and went back to care on Wed and I booked him in extra yesterday just so I could sleep Mum was here last weekend but went home right when I got really bad. It sucks not having family close by to help and all my mates in town also have little ones and I didn't want to run the risk of sharing.
In other news, we've been referred to Tresillian. I have really mixed feelings about it. Plus, DP, who I thought was really supportive of sleep school (cause he used to talk about a few different friends we know who've had good outcomes from Karatane/Tresillian) now says he doesn't have as much of an issue with DS's sleep as I do and it's up to me whether we go or not (but gives me the impression he thinks we don't really need it and can manage). So now I feel like all the responsibility for the decision is on my shoulders. Don't know what to do. We had a bit of a fight about other little stuff this morning and he's been out with DS for hours now

Kaz - you can always try sleep school - maybe they can help.. sorry to hear you had a cold - it's take me a month to feel better - back to being 100%. I always find that when I'm sick everything is soo much worse and harder etc.
Shell - farout with the peanut allergies, that would have been really scary.
Shell - I know how scary that peanut allergy is, DD1 is allergic to peanuts and brazil nuts. We carry a epipen for her. If you need any info etc just ask.
AFM - I have one knee balck and blue and twice the size of the other. On the bright side, nothing broken and my bike barely has a scratch. DP reckons I threw myself on the road to protect it
Nai- thanks, I worry about it as she gets older, at least at home I know what she is eating etc but out and about will worry me, if she goes to party and kids or parents give her something, do you have those worries? Do you find it hard organising food around it? Just cause alot of packaged stuff has may contain nuts, guess she'll have to eat good stuff, no crappy snacks.
I saw on FB about your run in with car door, thank god you're not hurt more than you are! Are you able to move around ok or too painful? Hope DP is waiting on you hand and foot, get little bell to call when you need something. How is your bike?
Kaz-Don't stress if your DP thinks you need it or not, base your decision on what you need, if you think you are at that point where you need some outside help I say go for it, you need to think of your wellbeing also and if sleep is an issue for you then why not get help. And if this place is not for you then at least you can say you tried it and you never know you may get something great out of it.
Ali- when is your FIji trip? I'm so jealous! Very exciting bout your new job too! Woohoo! I have rough idea how to use epi pen but never actually had to use one. And yeah Df did get shown at school, think he wants an uopdate tho.
Thanks to everyone here and on FB for your thughts on Emily, was stressful day. She still has some red welts on her face but overall seems fine.
