ah christ Ness... :( you poor bloody bugger. You and me make a good team then ;) you with the front and me with the back lol.
Shell - I am hanging for that day. Noi one bar J and me has looked after her and having anxiety issues due to what happened with M when he was born doesnt help.
Laurin - my lips are sealed lol. The kids will love having a baby around and you'll be surprised how ace it is.
My news......I have had bowel surgery. I had a cyst on my bowel drained last year adn the tube was left in for to long so a fistual formed, thankfully becuase the cyst never eally went and the exit on my bum (2 inches away from my a hole) would weep puse and bowel fluids. I was on the waiting list from October last year to get it fixed. Surgery was done on the 5th of this month were they splayed open the fistual to my a hole and then put like a laso in place to hold my a hole there and to heal. VERY painful to say the least and im getting better everyday but so much better of then what could have been. It was either this way to get a bag for poohs :(. I go back in 4 weeks to see how well im healing and then the doc will either tighten the laso (correct name starts with c but I cant remember) or re operate. I am so scared witless its not funny.
Never rains but it pours doesnt it...now happy news....there's gotta be another pg lurking.....

A massive congrats to Laurin, how exciting!!!!! Maybe I jinxed ya with confusing you and Vixstar about trying for #3 :lol:
maz - yep, like the others have said, she will adjust, it'll just take time. It's a huge adjustment for them, especially at this age. :hug: she'll get there hun.
And yeah, it's still raining here on and off. Kinda over it, but we did have a lovely day yesterday with the sun, but raining again today :rolleyes:
ness - bummer about the surgery and having to wait. But a woohoo on possibily going for number 4! That's very exciting.
nelle - speech therapy will do wonders for him. I can still remember when I was 5 and going to speech therapy. I still remember what I did there! lol
We have some good news here ... I'm going to be an Aunty for the THIRD time this year! As some of you already know, my SIL is due mid April, my sister due 27/04, and now my brother has got his girlfriend UTD and she's due 27/10 :dance: And do you see a trend here?? My sister due 27th, me due 27th, my bro's girlfriend due 27th! :D

Laurin : congrats
Caddie : I'm so sorry bout your health issues :comfort: hope you can find releif soon
Maz : everytime I read a FB update about you :redface: I feel for you it sounds so painful but :pray:it all heals nicley
Ness : wow thats a long wait and :dance: for things going well with the new man
Jodi : geez your pg is flying by
all you girls with kids starting out in kindy or CC make me a tad jelous :lol: Jack doesn't start kindy till next year unless he gets called up this year which is a good chance as he is next on list fro call ups wont be till next term if he does, I have been considering putting him in CC but our centre is only a 1/2 day centre with limited spaces and I feel bad if I take one when someone he really needs it can't I would only eb doing it for interaction but then we go to craft wed and fri, swimming wed, and playgroup most thurs so maybe he doesn't really need it LOL
Maz you asked how the boys are both doing well growing like weeds... but Luke has decided to turn back into a newborn with sleep :shakehead: he was sleeping thru no wake ups about 10-11hrs each night now he sleeps for about 5hrs then stirs grunt groans calls out as such from midnight onwards and wakes for a feed around 3.30am *sigh* cause he still wants back up around 5-6am ... bloody ridiculous
-
Congratulations Laurin! How fun! Had you ruled out another, or just not yet?
Yay at us being so active in here again! :D And uh oh because that is when I start to forget people.... Let me know if I missed you and I will write you a poem or something! :lol:
Rach: Oh no at Luke's sleep! Is he teething some nasty teeth, or having a growth spurt? I hope he sorts himself out soon. :hug:
Don't feel bad about kindy, it sounds like Jack is heaps busy! Craft sounds cool as, who runs that?
Jodi - That's great news about your bro's girlfriend! How is your own pregnancy going?
Oh Maz. :hug: I really hope that you're healing really well. xo
Owie at the vein Ness. :hug: That seems like a long wait.
Caddie, I hope the arthritis place can help you too! :hug: Far out you sickies!
ETA: I remembered I missed Shell, but that's because reading her post reminded me about the speech stuff! Hi Shell!
Where are the other Sept slackers??
As for us, Speech went really well on Friday, she was really impressed with how far he's come, and said we must have been working really hard with him! :D
Now he uses 'want' regularly, and is starting to make more sentences like 'want more cordial' or 'no more light on' which is pretty exciting. Exciting because it's a huge leap forward, and it's an indication that he might learn this speech thing really quickly now that the speechie can help us figure out games to get his attention - we are doing lots of sabotaging, hiding his toys so he has to ask for them or even when we know what he's asking making him use the right words.
But he doesn't get frustrated like he used to, which I think is an indicator that he's more confident about talking now (which perhaps is the thing that makes all the difference with him?).
Our new words to learn are 'look' 'play' 'that's a' and 'where/there'. And also maybe 'need' and 'move'.
He's learning new nouns (naming words) all the time, but you can't talk well without those joining words, so they're our focus. So rather than 'Thomas' and then pointing to the track and saying 'track' hopefully we will get him saying 'Want play Thomas, need track'. (and then eventually 'I want to play with Thomas and I need some track'. Amazing the difference those joining words can make! :lol:
Well that's my ramble! Thanks for being interested guys, it's so cool to read about your kids and where they're up to. We've come such a long way with our kids!
Anyway, this house is not in toooo bad a state (for once!) but if I don't sort things out today I'll be behind again, so I'd better move on (to facebook and other threads and a coffee and shower and THEN the housework, haha).
-
Nelle I forgot you in my other post I'm bad meant to ask how speech was comign along sounds like its going well
craft is run by a local lady she started a website selling toys and doing parties (like tupperware but for toys etc) anyway its got so good she opened a store intown here 3 days a week and does craft on wed and fri for $4 per child runs for around a hr, is good for her business as its usually stuff you can buy from her if kids really liek it, things like foam frames, paper bag puppets, paper plate animals, sand art... its a great morning out and I am making new friends rather than my little MG friends :)
-
Oh geez I must have missed the news about Anna and Scott, thats sad :(
Uni classes start tomorrow but Im not sure if I will be going because Rip and Stell arent cleared for daycare til thurs and I cannot get ahold of my stupid husband so he can ask for the days off grr. All 3 boys have been sick with croup; I had to rush Rip to the ED on tues night because he woke blue in the face and struggling to breathe. Scariest moment of my life. Gp is pretty sure he has asthma so will have to do testing for that when he is better.
I def think I am going to love Uni, Im already gearing up for my first assignment due in 5wks and itching for placements to start in Oct. I love getting on the train and being a.l.o.n.e then walking the 10min from the city to Uni. I might change my mind when its freezing and Im trying to fit in 40hrs a week of study, a husband who's still as useless as ever (although he's mega useless right now cause he is on crutches :rolleyes: ) and 3 kids who never stop.
Stellan is 1 in about 5 weeks! He's been walking for about 2wks now but not fulltime as yet, he can keep up with the other boys quicker if he crawls lol Still breastfeeding but Ive cut it down to two-three times in 24hrs so he has formula any other time he is thirsty/at daycare, til he can start cows milk. Sleep still sucks a bit but we get a night here and there where he wakes one or not at all.
Ripley is horrible. I thought I disliked Jett when he was in the throes of the terrible twos but Oh.my.goodness I REALLY dislike Rip. He just has no fear of punishment, nothing works and we have tried everything. I hate feeling that way towards him because in rare moments he can be so beautiful. I know he'll grow out of it soon enough its just really tough right now with a bossy preschooler and a newly tanty throwing nearly 12mth old thrown into the mix. 3 kids so close is definately harder when they are all toddlers than babies + a toddler you know?
Jett is FINALLY TOILET TRAINED :) He just had it 'click' after starting daycare. He still wont poop on the potty but we havent had accidents in weeks. Im not even interested in night training yet until he wakes up with dry nappies for 2wks in a row. He is such a sweetie now, definately over the horrible behaviour hump. I rarely have to yell at him for being naughty now and if I do you can bet Rip is involved as well. Put the three of them together in a room and all hell breaks loose! Separate them (or Jett and Rip atleast) and its peaceful. He's really into puzzles right now; and playing the xbox *sigh*
Sorry this is a me, me, me post. Im supposed to be unpacking and cleaning the house but I decided I deserved a sit down to do nothing important after the debacle of taking the kids to the Dr.
I am lurking and keeping up with you all!
ETA - Congrats Laurin, what an exciting surprise.
-
Ahh Anna! I knew I was forgetting at least someone! :D Hi!
I hear you on the no fear of punishment. That's Si all over. You growl and he's like 'what?' :lol: Naughty chair helps a bit...and putting him to bed the moment he gets rumbly. Honestly, I see him throw a few punches, so send him to bed, and he's asleep within 5 minutes!
It sounds like you're doing a great job with your 3 boys.
-
Anna- sounds exhusting but rewarding hun.. all kids like to push our buttons.. yay on Jett well done
Nelle- thats great about the speech therapy.. do you see them often?
As for the vein unfort its classed as elective surgery... so the wait through the public system is quite long. Should know more about the wait and the procedure when i see the official surgeon on the 30th of march... was told that i would be waiting 3-4mths to see him but got in within a month and a half so hopefully the other wait wont be as long.
-
Ness that totally sucks that the vein surgery is classed as elective, WTH??!! Since when is having a painful vein anywhere near your vagina normal. Bloody health system. I hope you get in sooner than they say.
Nelle; ah yes the throwing of punches. Ripleys specialty. He's such a rough kid really, I wonder if I wasnt impregnanted by a mixed martial arts fighter in my sleep because Rip certianly doesnt get his hugeness or rough and tumble from Ry :rofl: And its looking like Stellan is going to be exactly like Ripley, they are so alike in looks and personality its uncanny.
My poor ginger ninja is the odd one out :lol:
-
Lol. Riv is so laid back, so Si is a shock and a half! You should hear his battle cry and then he leads with his head, mouth wide open and fists flailing. Riv sort of dodges and dodges and holds him at bay, cos he knows if he fights back he'll be in trouble too, poor thing. :lol: Not that he doesn't start his fair share of rumbles too...
-
haha, Emily is EXACTLY the same, she's forever picking fights with Nina, hitting her, body slamming her ... :rofl: And poor Nina is a timid little thing and she just runs away crying and locks herself in her room!
anna - that's great Jett is toilet trained now! I wouldn't worry about night training for a long time. Nina has been tt during the day for 1.5 years and she's no where near ready for night time.
I hope you can find a plan for tomorrow so you can go to uni.
ness - when Heath had to have 'elective' surgery for something the wait up here was 5-6 years :o He couldn't wait that long though as the pain was excruciating for him, and he had a chance of becoming infertile if the problem persisted. So we had to fork out $10k + for him to go private :( So I really hope you can get it sorted before 18 months.
-
Haha oh Jett is 50/50 - if he fights back it involves very girly random slapping and if he doesnt he just screams bloody murder and flys around trying to find me so he can hide behind my legs and dob. Ive copped many a fat lip getting between them; I think we're going to have to let them biff it out a little when they are older, no way will I be stepping amongst them to break it up. As long as no one's throwing hard punches a bit of wrestling and shoving cant hurt right :lol: Must be a butch second kid syndrome or something................esp if Emily is in on it too!
Got care sorted for the two littlest dudes, Ry will watch them til 9:30am when he heads to his cardiologist appt then my sister will watch them with nephew in tow til I get home at 1:30. She invited herself to dinner so I guess Im stuck with her all arvo. Yay. She made comment about having to look after 3 kids tomorrow for a few hours; I said love I do it EVERY.SINGLE.DAY...........suck it up princess. I wouldnt ask except Im desperate. Ry will have wednesday off. So Im sorted.
-
Well I have some bad news here...I had slight bleeding yesterday, went to the doctor, she organised a scan for me this morning...so I had my scan at 8.30 am - no heartbeat and measuring very small for dates.....I feel pretty devastated at the moment so just going to take things easy. We hadn't told anyone so at least don't have to tell people bad news...and to top it off DH is away overseas at the moment....
sorry for the bad news girls and sorry for no personals.
will be back soon.
Laurin x
-
Oh laurin :hug: terrible news. Do you have any family or close friend around to support you while DH is away? How long til he is back.
Maybe post in the miscarriage section in here, I'm sure others who have also been thru it can offer kind words.
Make sure you take time out for yourself to grieve. :hug:
-
