Hey Colsy. =]

Maffie- Hope the scan goes well... and happy 10 months to Noah! =]

Found out today that Isaac LOVES tomatoes. Personally I think they're gross, but at least he likes healthy food lol!

 

[Kte]

Does it make you want another Kte

Not yet, happy memories though lol

That's how I feel. I soooo remember those trips to the hosp for scans. I even look back semi-nostalgically on the weekend I spent in hosp with unexplained bleeding during pg. How odd am I? Another quickie from me as need to pay a load of bills and sort out the utter mess that is our kitchen table. This is a strange time for me - so much funny stuff going on, the OH stuff that you know about, but also need to get my head round loads of work and family things. Nothing bad but just need to work out a few things, which is why I am so short on time at the mo. I am also about to have another week of incommunicado and going to be offline, but from next weekend I think we'll be semi in the land of normality again (ha ha, famous last words!!!). In the meantime I'll check in if I get a mo, but until then I do send you all lots of hugs and I'm thinking of you all, especially those of you who've helped me through a series of difficult times xxxxxxx

P.S. You know how we've all been through such a lot together, and how we all sort of feel like we totally know each other, even though we don't? I was just thinking about whether it would be within the realms of possibility to actually all meet up. I know we're spread all over the country - the world even - so prob not very likely. But I wonder if there's anywhere where it be semi easy for us all to get to for a meet. Really have got to go now. Byeee xxx

Colsy, looking forward to when you are back, hope everything works out how you want it to whilst you are away I do really like the idea of a meet, just needs to be made pleanty of time in advance so I can save up At least Chloe has had Chicken pox now, last time I went to meet Maffie it was the viral rash I thought would be chicken pox and now the second time I went to meet her she did get them So at least they are out of the way, should be no meeting problems health wise now!



PS: She much better and has gone to nursery today Still scabby but her mood is so much better, she didn't need any medication at all yesterday. Hurray!

 

[Maffie]

Morning all, i'd love to meet more of the bumpkin ladies I feel like I would of gone insane without you all

Noah had the runs this morning he fed really strange too and I wonder if my milk is turning back to colostrum he had the left side for a few minutes so I pumped virtually nothing came out so pumped other side so he started whinging for feeding again so gave him the odd once i'd got out the right side then he finished off on the right side (I stopped mid pump) my milk seems much thicker and less of it.

Glad to hear Chloe is on the mend Kte

Glad to see you abel to pop on Colsy even when busy, so many bumpkins not here and I do wonder how they all are.

All over the world! I'll prob venture back that way with in the next year or so .. would be fun!

 

[Chaos]

So I'm going to be lame here, I've been reading, I just too freaking tired to sit here and mentally compose some sort of coherent reply. lol I can't catch up on my sleep! I slept 8 hrs last night and feel like I slept 2

Kte ~ Sorry to hear about Missy. At least shes got them out the way early!

Update on Autumns bum ..

Looks like it was dairy. No dairy for 5 days now =

pooping 8 to 10 times a day, down to 1 or 2
Now more water poo (although still isn't normal consistency yet)
rash is GONE!!

Its SO hard doing dairy free tho, milk is hidden in EVERYTHING!! Gah.

ok, someone is starting to stir upstairs, better go see to her.

Afternoon all

Chaos glad to hear Autumns bum is clearing up, we've had one day of the runs today dont think i'd fancy that long term. They hide milk everywhere dont they and give it all different names.

Im having a yuk day, spent it vomiting feel quite dehydrated now. Scan tomorrow

Mum has bought Noah is birthday present from her, I semi picked it im not that organized till my wage restarts.

 

[Kte]

Good luck tomorrow Maffie! Sorry to hear you have been feeling rough today

Chaos: Grr to hiding milk How annoying!

 

[aimee-lou]

And me girls - you can count me in!!!

Sorry I've not been around much. It's all been a bit hectic here with houseguests, lack of news and money and a general inability to get on the computer

Maffie - good Luck tomorrow!!

Chaos - Grrr about hidden milk from me too! Glad Autumn is getting better

Colsy - I hope you're ok!! Only 2 weeks til birthday - any plans as yet?

Hope we're all good. We're great - still no job but I think we're getting there slowly. I have finally managed to get my hand on some money to live off...not a lot mind (Jobseekers isn't meant to be that exciting lol ) but at least we have some money!

Earl is good. He's learned to climb the stairs (cue nightmares for Mummy!) and is getting so close to talking. He's just a whisper off saying Daddy - instead it comes out as Dad-Day He's also perfected walking with his walker (just can't turn around) and will quite happily walk all day with my fingers to hold onto.

Got some new piccies so will try to add them.

Have a good evening ladies xx

[Chaos]

Aimee ~ LOVING the new pictures!!

Sam ~ Good to see you!

So .. um .. Autumn took 8 steps today ... Yikes.

 

[Kaites]

A quick hello from me since it's late. Had a meeting with a prospective family today and it went really well- got an email back confirming a couple things tonight and looks like I may have my first client (fx'd...). The little boy is only a couple days younger than Emma so I'm sure it'd be a bit crazy around here chasing after 2 babies but lots of fun too- he was a sweetheart. I also had a phone call from the licensing agency today- they're doing the home visit on Sept 8th so the wheels are definitely in motion on that front too I don't think I'll be fully up and running when my mat leave ends (sept 20) but hopefully, it won't be too long before I'm back to making a decent wage. Now I just have to tell my current employer that I'm not coming back- that's what I'm supposed to be doing instead of procrastinating on BnB Other than daycare excitement, not too much going on here. I took Emma to have some portraits done today but I don't get them back until Sept 11. She was a ham for the camera so there were some cute ones.

Maffie- good luck with the scan! I hope it goes well and the baby is cooperative

Aimee- Cute piccies of Earl!

Chaos- Glad to hear Autumn is doing better dairy-free. I bet that's a real challenge avoiding all the dairy byproducts out there. Exciting stuff in your ttc journal too

Kte- glad to hear Chloe is feeling better too!

Right, I better get back to the emails I'm supposed to be doing so that I can get to bed. Hope everyone is well

 

[Kaites]

grr- double post!

 

[Maffie]

Glad to see all seems to be going ahead with the daycare Kaites.

Just commented on thread Chaos, congrats again.

Aimee Earl looks like he's come on leaps and bounds. Love the walker picture.

I need to think what to do as work still have contacted me after telling them about the pregnancy.

 

[Chaos]

Mornin' girls ..

Thanks so much to you all

Kaites ~ Congratulations on your first kid! My Auntie has done it for over 25 years and loves it!

Maffs ~ Good luck today! Am excited to hear the results!!

 

[Kte]

Me too Maffie! or ??!!

Hope Noah won't need surgery too

Congrat's again Chaos
