Woohoo I'm 1st lol

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend and Anna I'm so so jealous about you going to see Pink and the Tapas.

BG Enjoy your time with your man. I can only imagine how hard it is to be home alone with E all the time. My DH goes away alot but just for weekends and I find thats really tough at times too.

[LisaL]

Just a quick pop in to say to Mako on the great results. So happy that Sage is ok, you must be soooo relieved!

Hope your all having a good weekend. Mine started with my head in the toilet bowl!! All ok now though, gotta love that m/s

Glad to hear you're feeling happier Anna. MMM I love haloumi and prociutto too (I love salty foods!)

Lisa, LOL at your weekend, sorry but it did sound funny.

Not much happening here. Would like to go for a walk if I dont get blown away or washed away! Winter is hanging on here.

[Freya]

PINK WAS AWESOME.

That is all

Hey all, we've had a rough weekend here so haven't had a chance to catch up properly so won't attempt personals today.

Spent Thurs-yesterday back in hospital with Dean, he picked up an infection and had to go in for IV antibiotics. We got home yesterday afternoon and he's now on oral Ab's which are upsetting his poor tummy something shocking so he is very unsettled at times, has diarrhea and generally not happy. On top of that DH had to go away yesterday but thankfully my mum came and stayed with me last night. I am exhuasted but just wanted to let you all know what was happening and that I am still here!

We have a follow up with his paed tomorrow so will let you know how we go.

[Janie]

Oh Willow, your poor little guy and poor mummy . What a rough trot, especially with DH being away. Gosh, I'm kinda feeling like words aren't enough ATM, I wish there was something I could DO. I hope things get better soon hun, thinking of you lots xoxo

Sazz, winter was definitely holding on here yesterday too!!!! Hope you don't get blown away

Lisa, you have my sympathy my dear, lots and lots of it! Hope the weekend stays vomit free now.

I had my first ever acupuncture session yesterday, it was very cool . Just really hoping it helps with the ms and energy levels. After taking a massive history, she explained how they check certain things, and asked me how I felt right then, ms and energy wise, on a 1-10 scale (10 being good). I said about a 6 right then, I was feeling pretty good. After checking me out she said my 6 is probably someone else's 1 or 2, that I have a skewed sense of feeling good ATM . I said that I have probably had a skewed sense of tiredness for the last 2 years LOL. Anyway, she said no wonder you feel so terrible, which made me feel like at least I wasn't imagining things . Fingers crossed I get some relief soon, although I'm going back to see her in 10 days.

DS had a sleepover at grandma's last night, and is going to church with all the family this morning. Poor deprived boy, he thinks it's such a treat . We were going to go to the movies with our gold class vouchers, but what we want to see was sold out last night AND today! So I think we might go out for brunch instead . Lets see if I can eat!

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday xoxo

Willow - Oh my you poor cherub. Hugs and I hope Master Dean gets better.

Janie - I hope you get some relief re ms. Rest up hun your body is doing a big job atm.

[LisaL]

Hey girls,
I had a very sick little girl last night, woke up at 2am with vomit all over her bed and she was crying saying 'dirty' about the chuck. She was vomitting til about 5am, and then manged to get some sleep until 7am when she woke up vomitting. No vomit for 2 hours now, so im hoping its just a 24hr thing.

Hope everyone is well

Hi guys, sorry it has been so long since I popped in, we have had visitors and were then in Melb for a couple of days so busy busy!

I wanted to pass on very happy although belated birthday wishes to the lovely Deb and the beautiful Miss A too. Hope you both had a lovely day! I hope Miss A is feeling better now, the poor little munchkin.

Willow - sorry to hear about your poor little sick boy, how scary. I hope he is on the mend now.

Mako - I am so glad to hear that Sage's results came back all clear, what a relief!

Anna - I just wanted to say it is so good to hear you sounding so happy, you deserve it! I am glad you had such a good time out and yay for Pink!!

Janie - congrats sweetie, what fabulous news! I hope you are feeling ok. I hope the acupuncture helps.

Well, I have the 19 week scan on Wed and am getting a little nervous! I really hope all is ok. I am feeling definite kicks now (in fact, this little terror is really giving me a boot now and then!) so hopefully the little tacker is happy and well in there.

[Willow]

Hey girls...

Paed appt went well today, he was very happy with D's recovery so we're on ABs just until weds now and he's lowered the dose (he was on 4mls which is quite a lot for a little baby) so hopefully his little tummy will settle a bit now. He has been much more settled since coming home anyway which is a relief.

BBL...

[sazzafrazz]

Willow, that is great news that little Dean is on the mend now. How scary for you, poor mummy!!! Did the infection come on fairly quickly? I guess when they are so little it doesnt take much to knock them around really badly. 4ml sounds a lot - Celeste was on that at 12months with her AB! Hope he is well and truely mended now and you can all get a lot of rest. Thank goodness for your mum hey? She sounds a gem.

Good luck with your scan Bun, on wednesday. Sounds like you are getting plenty of action now. It's so exciting (but a bit tiring in the night) when they get busy like that.

janie, Lisa, I hope the MS eases for you both soon. I will never forget the UTTER exhaustion of first trimester.

Lisa, hope you are a vomit free household now. Yucky bugs everywhere at the moment! How did your poor tum handle the cleanups???

Janie, GOLDPASS... oooo how luxurious! I have only doneit once but very much enjoyed it! Have not been to the cinema since DEC 2007! Must get my folks to look after C so we can go soon. No sleepovers for her as they are 95km away so we would be sleeping over too~

Anna, glad to hear you ahd a agreat time at P!NK. Sounds like everyone who has been has LOVED her.

Me: found out the public waiting list for the sleep study I need is 4months. Then I have to wait for the tonsilectomy, then wait agian for another sleep study...... sigh. Going well here otherwise. Germ free at present,... touch wood.

[mako]

Willow Fantastic news about Boo. I bet you are feeling so much better now

Sazz Wow thats a fair wait time isn't it? Are you on the list now? Hopefully things will happen a bit quicker for you. My boss's little boy had a sleep study done a while ago and then had his tonsils removed a couple of weeks ago too. He was on the waiting list for the tonsils for over 18 months and then my boss decided to just pay for him to be done in the private hospital. They don't have PHI but the cost didn't seem all that excessive by the time she went to medicare and got her rebate for some of it and the surgeon only charged the scheduled fee instead of more kwim?

Bun All the best for your scan on Wednesday. Are you finding out the gender?

I had a call from my GP tonight about Sage. He said he spoke to our Paed and he is happy to see us when we go next month but we need to have the tests repeated in a months time just to check the results against the ones last week. He also said to go straight back to GP if we have any symptoms again. So I'm fairly happy with that. Atleast we didn't have to wait days to hear back from either of them. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when these DR's were "discussing" Sage over dinner on the weekend

I have my appt with my Ob/Gyno on Friday. I'm half scared about it but kind of excited at the same time if that makes any sense I had to tell my boss a little white lie to get the morning off but anyway that's another story

Hi to everyone

[Janie]

Mako, good luck for Friday

Well, less than 27 hours until my scan and Ob appointment! I am looking forward to it, but feeling more and more nervous as well. I think the acupuncture is helping......to the point where I just did a HPT to reassure myself . Although I am over the moon to be having another baby, and know how very lucky and blessed I am, there is something in me that is not letting me get excited ITMS. I hope it goes away after a successful scan tomorrow

[LisaL]

Good luck Janie for your scan. I know how you feel. Im having the nuchal scan on Monday 7th and now im starting to get nervous..

Good luck Bun for you scan, and Mako for Friday.

All settled down here, vomitting has stopped, and we are semi normal. SHe still is a little lethargic and not eating as much, but she is doing really well. Me ok, still feel nasueas and all the vomit around didnt help.

BBL

GL for tomorrow Janie xoxo

[kellym]

Good luck for your appointment tomorrow Janie!!! Stay positive, I'm sure all is going to be perfect but can totally understand where you're coming from.

Can't wait to hear how wonderful it went and can't wait to be in Melbourne to finally catch up!! Only two months to go!! Scary!!

Jayne - How was the holiday????

Kel xxx

[mako]

I'll be thinking of you and "holding your hand" tomorrow Janie

Anna I hope everything works out for you today too. You sure do need to catch a break hunny

Lisa Good to hear the bug has left your house.I hope the m/s settles for you soon.

Kelly How's things going with the move? Have you started packing yet or is it a bit too soon?

Michelle it was great to catch up with you yesterday. Lily is just adorable. I'm still shocked that you were able to move her from bed to pram without her waking lol. Sage would never do that lol.
