Oh yes... I saw this on your announcemnt thread. CONGRATULATIONS again. It certainly does make you a lot more scared/causious this time around.
I am coming up to what would have been my due date on 14th August. I keep thinking about it. Its kind of strange.
Am so very happy for you Laurin. Make sure you pop in and keep us up to date:)
Thanks Mel, I can't believe you are 27 weeks, that is amazing, how are you going with the planning, have you been thinking about the logistics/juggling with three - yes, I am starting to stress already about that, I feel like I don't have enough arms for three kids :) I will be looking to you and Leigh for tips that is for sure.
ETA - us pg ladies should be in bed methinks!
Hi Girls,
laurin, a big congratulations on your pregnancy, I didn't know. Such wonderful news. I've had two miscarriages, so I understand about being anxious as well. Can't wait to hear how your next scan goes.
Mel, hopefully Bec will start settling down for bed soon, hopefully what you did tonight works again tomorrow night. I've had some shocking nights with Lara crying all night in the past week. I'm thinking she's teething too.
Kate, how's things going for you? Have you had a scan yet?
Melly, I will probably try & start toilet training Lara when she's two. I know I tried to toilet train cadence early & she wasn't ready, I then decided to wait until she was ready & it was so much easier. She was fully trained in 3 days, she was exactly 2 & a half. So I'm not going to force Lara into it until I think she's ready. I don't have the time to be thinking about doing it just yet.
Mel & laurin, life with 3 kids isn't as hard as I thought it would be. I was really stressed about that too. It is harder to get organised to get out of the house though. We went away for a wedding on the weekend & I had to pack so much stuff just for one night.
Nothing much happening my end. Lexie will be 5wks on Wednesday, it's gone so quick. She's still such a good bub.
I think I am almost there with the whole planning thing!!! I have to sell Olivias Maxi Rider and get a narrower seat coz I wont be able to fit 3 seats in the back of my car other wise. I am also thinking of getting a capsule for this baby so I wont have to wake it when we go out to day care/shops. I just have clothes to wash and bags to pack and thats all! 28 weeks today! Its gone super quick. I have heard its easier going from 2 to 3 than 1 to 2 kids! At least the 2 older ones will have each other to play with.
Leigh- cant believe Lexie is 5 weeks already!
Kate- how is your pregnancy going?
Ok better run. It looks as though it might be a nice sunny day here in Melbourne... so got to go and wash wash wash!
Just a quick question... any ones babes starting to pull their clothes off? Rebecca has worked out that she wants her pants off... am thinking we might be in for some fun!
Mel, yep Lara has been doing that for about 2mths now and sometimes it drives me nuts. I've still got Cadence in her maxi rider and Lara and Lexie are in convertable car seats, 0 - 4yrs but I am thinking once I turn Lexie's seat forward facing its going to be very squashy so I might have to put Lara in a booster seat, I'd love to get her a maxi rider too but another one wont fit so I will have to look for a slim line one.
Guess what, Lexie has started sleeping through the night. Going to sleep around 10pm and waking around 5:30am - 6am. This morning it was 6.20am so I am very, very happy about that.
Gotta go, Lexie is crying.
Leigh thats great Lexie is sleeping through. You must feel great. Reassuring to hear about the taking off clothes. Today Bec was in the toilet with me and when I had finished she had said my turn and started putting at her pants!
Looks like Bec has oral thrush. She woke up this morning and just inside her lips was all white. I though she was a bit dry from her sleep but it hasnt washed away and on closer inspection its on her tongue too. So I have started applying dactarin oral gel. If its not better by Monday then I'll take her to the gp. Might go get some kids pro biotics too.
Hope all is well
Hi girls,
Im typing one handed while feeding Lexie so please excuse any mistakes.
Mel, how is Bec's thrush? Has it cleared up? How is she going in her bed? I have to take Lexie for her hip scan tomorrow & I am quite nervous about it. Did you have any idea Olivia had hip dysplasia before she was diagnosed with it? Were there any signs etc?
Kate, how is your pregnancy going? How many wks are you now? Have you had a dating scan?
Hi to everyone else, hope you're all well.
Hey Leigh
We knew Olivia had hip dysplasia on day 2 of her outside life! She had an audable click of her hips and they were loose and she also had positional talipies (her feet turned in... a good sign). When you go to your helth nurse they usually do a hip check early on and see if they can feel a click. Am sure she will be fine.
Bec is getting there with her bed. She is dropping her day sleep because she can get out of bed and play up, so now I just let her have quiet time infront of the tv and if she sleeps she sleeps. Makes night sleeping easier!!! Her thrush cleared up nice and quick with some oral gel.
Good luck today... hopefully its all just routine. If not come back and ask away. Olivia is a happy crazy 3 year old who can do a load of physical stuff. I wouldnt have been able to tell that she was harnessed for all those months:)
Thanks for the info Mel. When the paed checked her a day or two after she was born he could hear a click, but we've seen our gp a few times since she's been born & she's checked her hips on each visit & she said she couldn't hear any clicking, so fingers crossed she is ok.
I've still got Lara in her cot. There is still no way she's ready for a bed. She tosses & turns & sleeps every which way in her cot.
Mel, Lexie's hip scan went well, the sonographer said they looked fine. I am so relieved.
Great news:) Just what you need to hear! I cant believe she is 6 weeks already..... hows your scar healing?
Hi girls,
It's been quiet in here, hope you're all well. Everyone has been sick in our house with a cold. It really knocked DH around & I took Lexie to the dr yesterday. I think I'm about to get it again too coz i've got a really sore throat & runny nose. Think coz DH & I are run down we keep getting sick. Other than that we're all doing really well. Lexie is 8wks already, it's going so quickly.
How are all your pregnancies going? How far along are you now Kate?
Gotta go & have a shower while I have a spare 5min. Oh bloody AF has arrived back already too. I didn't get her back til after I'd finished breastfeeding DD1 soni wasn't expecting it this quick. Annoying after not getting it for mths.
HEy Leigh.. been busy here too. Hope everyone gets better soon.
Pregnancy going well. Baby is breechat 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.
Better go.... will catch up when I have some me time!
Hey girls... just having a chat to myself!!! Hope all is well.
Becca is not too well, shes congested and has a cough, but this morning when she threw her whole fist in her mouth, she let me have a feel and she has got 3 back molars through..... which means.. 1 more tooth left and she has a whole mouthful!!! OH yay!
I am getting sick too. My throat is sore and my nose is a bit snotty. Not getting much sleep because of becca, but also I just have trouble sleeping these days. Bubs is still breech, so shes kicking my cervix which is uncomfy.
Hey girls, Leigh - hope your household is all better now, amazing Lexie is 8 weeks already, how quickly time goes. Mel - how are you doing, I can't believe your 31 weeks, hope your feeling better soon and your sleeping improves, it sucks doesn't it and I bet you are so uncomfortable in bed too.
Us here, we are well, sooooo sick of winter, I hate having the kids inside all the time with all this rain we are having. So I am 14 weeks today, next Saturday is Rylee's 4th birthday - we are having a fairy birthday for her with 16 little girls, then the following week, I go for my amnio as I had an increased risk of downs syndrome so crossing my fingers for that. Apart from that, nothing else really to report, thankfully the kids have been pretty well this winter and me too, just that yucky nauseous feeling every now and then.

Hi Ladies,
I was hoping I could join in this baby buddies group.
My DD, Jody, was born early Nov '08 but I can't find a group for then. She's a bit behind her age group anyway, she likes to take her time learning new things ;)
We are from NZ and still learning how the Aussie medical systems work over here so will be asking a few questions...
Anyway, I hope I am allowed to join in this group, if the rules aren't too strict ;)
Thank you :D
Welcome Chickoin.... ask away! Where abouts are you living in Australia?
Lauren- I hate the winter too.... driving me insane having to be indoors most of the time. Good luck with your amnio. Make sure you have some help after coz it can be quite uncomfy for a bit after. I had a CVS with Olivia and it hurt a bit after, but not during. Am nearly 33 weeks now!
