CSAB - Lol, I was hoping you would say you were UTD. Thanks for the well wishes though there's not alot happening in that department. I have my FS appointment on March 3rd so hoping to get my BFP in March sometime. According to the chinese birth chart, if I conceive in Feb it'll be a boy so I'm not gonna be trying too hard this month tee hee. That's fantastic that V is walking. I bet she just booms from here. Those first few steps are the hardest but then they just go for it. I bet she looks so cute walking. Like a walking doll. How's her weight? I'm sure the Paed will be so proud. It seems like you've been busy, me too. Things will settle in the next couple of weeks so hopefully we can catch up then
ZARAVA - The book party went surprisingly well. Made $500 worth of sales so I was pleased with that. Plus, it was great to catch up with the girls & have some champers! We had a nice time. Yay on the settlement of your house. Finally! Congratulations. Sounds like you're doing a fab job with the two littlies. Good on you. Glad it's all working out for you
AFM - Thankfully BJ is back to his happy self again. Eating & lauging like ususal. Those teeth are horrible things!
Not much to report on the TTC thing, unfortunately. As mentioned to CSAB, just waiting till my FS appointment before things will start happening.
We are heading to the Sunshine Coast for 5 days, from this Saturday. I'm looking so forward to it. We haven't had a proper holiday since BJ was 8 weeks old, and even then, it wasn't a holiday as he just slept the whole time so I was confined to a caravan. We have booked a lovely resort with pool, tennis court etc . It's right across the road from Coolum beach. Views from every room. Can't wait!
I forgot to mention that I finally got my life membership with Weight Watchers. I hit goal weight & maintained it for the 6weeks. So now I am cutting back on my exercise hoping it will help with TTC.
BJ is learning more & more words every day. He has a huge vocabulary now. I can't believe how many words he can say. Where's my baby gone??????? He's so not a baby anymore. I can't believe what a little boy he is now. Gees, it's gone too fast!
Georgi - Hehehe, goodluck for the month after Feb, thats if the chinese chart says girl, lol. Have a great time away. I have sent you a video of V taking some steps. So cute. I definately wont be able to stop her now that she has started.lol. hugs
i have the demon baby in this house...he climbs/hits/throws tantrums/scream/climbs....did i say that already?? eats paper.....has 12 teeth has had his first hair cut...looks like a BIG boy now
says soo many words it's not funny....
finally self settles himself to sleep!!!! which i am soo happy about...you try putting a 12.5kgs bubba to sleep!!!!!
AFM.....we have an appointment with our FS on the 18th March...and hopefully starting IVF in Jul/August and i have lost 3.3kgs on my way to baby body!!!!
csab - you make me laugh.. there are NO MORE for us, 2 is plenty.
The girls are going really well, had an off night last night but they are amazing, love them to bits. Go V with the walking, isn't it cute when they start, how is she going with it now?
Georgi - well done on the book party.. $500 is awesome!
Hope you enjoy your time away, i'm going to QLD next mth
BJ sounds like such a clever little man, they are growing up WAY TOO QUICK aren't they.
Katones - oh you have a climber too... A never stops, she is such a full on kid lately.
Ohhh congrats on the weight loss and i hope all goes well with the IVF, will keep my for you.
How is everyone else, it's been quiet in here.. guess we are all busy chasing the lil ones around, they are so active now.
AFM - Ava has all 4 molars moving at once, her poor cheeks and ears, she is so irritable the poor little thing.
I got her thrown on the scales at Z's weigh in last week and she's only just 9.4kg (with clothes) so i can't wait until her 16mth MCHN appt, she has grown and put on weight she was only 8.3kg at her 12mth appt, i guess it's because she is so active.. cos god knows she eats HEAPS...
Well i have one full on child on my hands and shes a CLIMBER.. putting washing out the other day, turn around and she had climbed INTO THE TRAMPOLINE!
If anyone has seen pics on FB it's HUGE about 4ft off the ground with only 2 steps on the ladder, so suffice to say we have taken the ladder off so she can't get in as she knows how to open the net to get out but don't think she would manage to get down.
I asked the MCHN about her speaking as she copies EVERYTHING including and has even copied small sentences when we call our dogs, she now yells at them "JACK, CASS, GET HERE" or "JACK, CASS, SIT DOWN".. the MCHN said most kids don't put together 2 words (ie both dogs names) until about 18mths and normally sentences take some time after that... i'm not sure if i should continue to encourage her to form these words better? about 2/5 times the words are CLEAR, jack and cass are always clear but the others are not always so well formed.
Well i am trying to loose weight, am all about staying fit for my girls at the moment so am doing a food diary for a week to SHAME myself into eating healthier... lol but so far i think i have lost over 10kg as the last time i was weighed while PG i was 102kg and that was at about 16wks.. so i KNOW i put on more.. but in my ticker i am using this figure as it's the last KNOWN... so wish me luck!
Also i am hading to QLD for 2 nights next month for a wedding, i am taking Z and leaving A with DP... we can't really afford it but ppl are giving me cash for my birthday in 2 wks... so i'm getting a tiny tiny holiday!
Zarava - wow that'll be a lovely little holiday for you! A sounds like such a bright little spark chattering away, she'll have to teach X how to talk lol. GL with your weight loss too.
Katones - nice to hear what's been going on for you. GL with the weightloss journey & IVF.
Csab - your post cracked me up, I got sooo excited! That's awesome about V walking I just love watching the first tentative little steps, sooo cute! X and I are sending back cuddles with interest too
Hi to everyone else. As for us, well it's been eventful. Had my first scan last weds (6 wks 3 days) I was impatient, but happy I did, all looking good with a little heartbeat of 111 yay meant to post earlier but have been soooo busy. Flew out to Tassie on Thurs (for my twin bro's wedding). Before the plane even takes off, X vomits all over me... and I mean covered - from shoulder to thigh. The looks I got from the other passengers as we walked to the toilet... . We delayed the plane taking off because they were still helping us to clean up lol. The guy who was meant to be sitting next to us got upgrated to business (he was appreciative) and he even lent me some waterproof pants to wear! How nice is that hey! (I did have a spare top)... and I'm thinking great, here I am pg and with m/s sitting covered in vomit for an hour.. .yech. Luckily was ok. Then 3 days later I copped the gastro myself with interest. Vomited steadily for 24 hours, I can't remember the last time I felt so bad. And of course, my bro's wedding was in the middle of it! Managed to make it to the ceremony but little else... and still had to "yawn" on the way home in the car . Thank goodness it finally cleared up, and now we're home and just knackered. And suddenly my m/s doesn't seem so bad in comparison to vomiting constantly!! Silver lining huh. Oh and I get to see my little bubba again on the 25th of Feb at my first obs visit - can't wait.
Just a quick post... wish us luck ladies we have A's allergist appt today, my poor baby girl is going to be poked and prodded and fed for 4hrs at the RCH today.
A toddler and a newborn in a hosp for 4hrs, lets hope they are on time, the appt is at 1pm we have to be there 4hrs PLUS possibly an hour to make sure no further reactions, which means i wont be leaving the hospital until 6pm and then making the hr trip home.
Ava is not allowed to eat lunch as they want her hungry so they can do the food challenge, we might have to go sign docs straight after as the block might be SOLD so i think as a treat she might be getting McDonalds as we leave the hospital so she doesn't starve!
Atleast i can keep her awake until we leave for the appt and she gets to nap in the car on the way there, but i think she will be VERY grumpy with her sore teeth and being awake so long by the time we leave.
Zarava - I'm so glad to hear that A seems to have grown out of her egg allergy and that you survived the appt (dunno how you did it!). We just got back from ours... unfortunately his reactions were even bigger this time, some had more than doubled, so still no eggs and treenuts for my little man. Apparently he's got a very good chance of growing out of the egg allergy - it's just a question of how long it takes. Could be by the time he's 3 or 4... or 10 or 12 years old! And only 15-20% grow out of treenut allergies, so fingers crossed he'll be one of the lucky ones. We still don't know what reaction he'd get, but as the doc said, with welts the size his came up, there'd definitely be some sort of reaction and we don't want to know what it is. We still don't get an epi-pen as he doesn't meet the criteria (i.e. hasn't had an anaphylactic reaction - or if he was older or had asthma he'd get the pen). Unfortunately he also had a borderline reaction to sesame, so we have to go back in for a food challenge to see how he reacts to it (and no sesame till then). Apart from that, he threw his biggest ever tantrum BEFORE the tests... then was good as gold for the rest of the time, even during the skinpr!ck tests. I was so proud of him.
Apart from that, not much intersting. Oh the allergy doc didn't even know what the rash is on his cheeks, so we're just gonna leave it, as it doesn't bother him at all.
and i have lost 3.3kgs 
Go V with the walking, isn't it cute when they start, how is she going with it now?
for you.
