I feel awful!!! I threw up the pain meds last night so I had to make it through the night with no medication and feeling nauseous. Dr changed me to tramadol today and I just too one but I read nausea is a common side effect argh!!! The dr told me it wouldn't make me nauseus. I just sent dh to get some anti nausea meds so I hope that will help. My knee was feeling a bit better today but I
Still felt weak and faint. I took a shower and it swelled up
And is killing me! I want to die!! I still haven't gotten on my computer to read all the posts but I hope everyone is doing well!

Oh stranj so sorry to hear you're feeling so rough, hope the New painkillers help with the pain and the anti nausea medicine helps the nausea!
Myself and Erin are off to a Christmas market tomorrow with a friend, and then its our town Christmas light switch-on on Sunday, I'm going with my grandma and doing a big stew for after. Christmassy weekend ahead, looking forward to it!
Erins sleep is a bit erratic still, shes not gone down when I've tried nursing her at 6.30-7ish so I've had to keep her up and nurse about 9 to get her down. She's then only woken once in the night for a quick feed and back down (so that's not too bad). I cant see or feel any teeth still so think it was just a cold but she bit me a couple of times when nursing like she did when she was last teething so we'll see. Oh is off next weekend so we're going to try start controlled crying on Friday night so long as she's better.
Hope you all have good weekends

most pain meds like tramadol will make you nauseous if you take them on an empty stomach. eat something 30 mins before taking and they will stay down and you won't feel queazy. xxx

Hi girls!
I finally get to catch up! I'm so far behind though I know I am going to forget something!
Trixie I am glad you are feeling a bit better and I can't believe that dr!! I totally understand that dr's many times warn you of health hazards etc, but it is not their right to make you feel like crap. I think there are ways of encouraging people to make changes without being mean and judgmental. That is just awful! Sounds like Conor is doing really well at night!! So glad things are going well! Can't believe conor is pointing already!! I didn't think they did that til after a year!!
Dreamer it sounds like you guys have made some progress too at night! Giada has always been a good sleeper at night, but like any of us she has her off nights too, and when she is teething she is up for a couple hours in the middle of the night also. Don't get discouraged if it happens as I really don't think it means she has stepped backwards. I always used to think that until I talked to others and it sounds like even babies who always slept well still had off nights for whatever reason, but especially when teething or having a growth spurt, which happens quite often! And I think it's hard to tell with teething too as it hurts them well before the tooth pops out. Giada seems to get a rash on her face and diarrhea and some bad nights and then a week or two later the tooth comes. She only has 4 though so not looking forward to all the rest lol! So glad you sister went to counseling and it went well. Can't believe it took so long but it worked out as she is feeling better. However, having a good experience with the counselor will be in her mind if she feels bad again and she will know she can go back and had liked it! So cute that erin is crawling around!! They just look so adorable and seem so happy to be getting from place to place!!
LadyL I so hope you get the job!!! I always heard that labor and delivery nurses love their job!! When do you find out? Sounds like jack is doing well!Giada pulls her ears all the time to when she is sleepy. I also heard it can be a sign of teething. I think babies also do it if they have an ear infection but I'd imagine they would have other symptoms. Her ears have always checked out fine too. She started pulling them on the plane ride on one of the landings (it only happened one out of 4 plane rides) But she was screaming her head off like she was in agony until I finally got her to drink out of a bottle and it must have taken the pain away. That was the only time she cried and it was just for a couple minutes so we were pretty lucky! I'm having problems with a sippy cup too. Giada takes water out of it and then spits the water out. She does the same from a regular cup. She loves her bottle and I don't know what to do when she is a year and it's time to give it up. She is NOT going to be happy lol! She does better with her sippy cup if she is reclined like she would be with a bottle so I'll have to try that. I guess they will get it at some point!
Claire I am so glad things with hubby are going well! That is great to hear! I can't believe darcey is waving and clapping!!!! giada just waved for the very first time today! She still has not clapped. She will do a horsey thing where if you say horsey she starts to jump up and down (usually sitting) It's cute how they all have their little things that interest them! What is crimbo? I have never heard of that?
Lilrojo it will be so exciting when you get your next bfp!!! We too are thinking of first bday parties and are having the same thoughts as everyone else. We really wanted to do something here but our place is small and it's hard to plan something outside during january. Our weather might be beautiful or it could be cold and raining. I guess we need to make a decision soon as it is less than two months away, eeks!! I am so sad that giada is getting so big. I wish they could stay this little for longer so we could enjoy it for longer!!
Can't wait to hear how your scan goes hispirits!! I hope they see something! Dreamer is right, I was the one that they predicted incorrectly, however that was at 11.5 weeks and the dr told me that it was too early to really be accurate but he had a great view and he would have a 90% guess that it was a boy. We knew it was only a guess, but he is known to be a pretty good guesser! What really made me think boy was that I had multiple scans around 17-18 weeks due to bleeding and the other dr had only one scan where giada actually opened her legs for a quick glimpse and she admitted that she couldn't be 100 percent sure but she was also guessing a boy with the quick glimpse she saw. So they were both wrong but had both admitted that they couldn't be totally sure. At 22 weeks they got a very clear shot and could confirm girl for sure. However I have a friend whose brother's wife had a scan at 16 weeks I think. It was one of the 3d ones that you pay for and they said boy for sure. They painted the room and got boys clothes and they had a girl. I think it really depends on how early and what kind of view you get. I had so many scans that in the second half they kept getting good shots and knew it was for a sure a girl. SO exited to hear next week!
Also thanks for the advice on eating with tramadol, and thanks for all your kinds wishes ladies! I have had a rough week!! I am eating with the tramadol and drinking ginger tea to help with nausea and so far have been ok, but I also am only taking like one pill a day lol. I'd rather suffer with the pain then deal with the side effects. the only problem is I can't do my leg bends the way I should because it hurts too much. The other bad thing is dh, who is taking care of me and giada since I am supposed to lie flat on my back and have been feeling sick, seems to have gotten food poisoning middle of the night friday. Talk about bad timing!! He was completely out of commission all day yesterday and just starting to feel a little better today. My mom had to come take care of all of us all day yesterday. It really worries us about moving away from family. I feel it is one thing to start a family where you already have some sort of support group around you. Even if they are not family at least you have someone to call in an emergency, but it is so hard to move somewhere where you don't know anyone when you have a baby. I have one good friend where we would be moving, but she is a lawyer and super busy. Here we know quite a few people and my parents are older and retired and can be here in 5 minutes if I need them. I'm hoping there is a way we can work on staying here but we will have to see once january comes.
How is everyone else doing? Fizzio how are you feeling? I wonder how tobaira is doing?? I hope she recovered well. Must be crazy with twins, can't imagine!!!
I apologize if I missed anything. I am dizzy from feeling crappy and pain meds so I guess I have somewhat of an excuse lol! Hope everyone had a nice weekend!!!

Well you did very well with your post stranj, especially cos you felt so poorly! Hope you continue to recover well. I definitely know what you mean regarding moving somewhere where you don't know anyone. Our parents aren't here, but because we grew up here we have our network of friends and family friends to help out. I hope there is a way to stay where you are too. And so cute of giada with horsey!
P.s. crimbo is a slang word for Christmas ;-) speaking of which we took Erin to our towns Christmas light switch on yesterday, there was fireworks after too and Erin was very good, she was jumping in my arms but not crying, and just stared at the pretty colours in the sky

so sorry things are crap, i hope you and your family are feeling much better soon....i hope we dont have to move to canada cause of oh work, i would miss my family too much...i lived in oz (australia!!) for 3 years and that was hard enough even without a child!!
conor is doing well...sleeping 6.45 to 6ish....not too shabby for him!! he is clapping saying or copying ohh-ohh (which is soooo cute) and points.....he just loves his daddy and is a daddys boy....he only comes to me if he is tired or hungry!(and so it begins!!!) he isnt waving yet or blowing kisses which i cant wait for.
anyone else having a nightmare changing their nappies????its driving me nut, he just cracks up and wont lie down!
conor has 8 teeth but i think he must be getting more cause he is getting a slight cough!
dont know if i said but i use the tommy tippee tip it up cup....brilliant as its non spill and easy to suck.....its a soft spout. defo reccommend it. conor has only learnt how to properly use it the past month!
oh and he is able to stand unaided for a couple of seconds and can cruise around the furniture now at full speed...only in the last week!!!

Trix, thats so cute that conor goes ooh ooh. Great on the sleeping too. I'll have to try that cup as the non spill one I have is awful to suck from. And yes changing nappies or clothes is a nightmare, she won't stay still. On her change table is best as she seems to know its nappy change (although she's pretty much outgrown this is length now!) but if I try anywhere else she is off unless I give het something really interesting like my phone, the pack of wipes, etc.
Claire, so cute that darcey says hiya! Erin waves hello and bye bye, claps hands and tries to copy the actions for wheels on the bus where you roll your arms like the wheels and also mummies go chat chat chat motion. So cute. And great those babies that are cruising! Erin is trying to pull herself up but only gets to kneeling at the moment, don't think it will be long though.
Yeah it is tough, I do miss my mum a lot and my dad, sis and bro too, but I guess as I haven't known any different in my adult life its not like I've had to get used to it (they moved to oz when I was 19). It's been 7 years now, you do adjust and I can't change it so just get on with it, no point in dwelling. I have really missed her since she was over for those 4 weeks when Erin was born, and when I think of her and Erin not seeing each other and the things we could be doing together it does make me sad. But when we go over there we'll have 4 solid weeks together 24/7 so will make the most of it. My inlaws live in south Africa, but my gran, sister, and OHs gran, gramp and uncle all live nearby so we have some family here.
And I've never watched Miranda!

Lol, sorry its not funny that poor Conor is poorly..poor lil chap. But I had to laugh at the eating his hat bit, like its an every day occurance
I hope he starts to feel better soon. Darcey is the same when she teething, she always seems to get a cold and upset tummy.

Thanks girls i feel so much better for knowing!
i no its a bit unnecessary, i've got 20 week scan 2 jan, but i'm going for a private gender scan next saturday to confirm its a boy. then i ca let rip in the shops
i've been saying boy since 8 weeks so pleased my instincts were right.
i feel like i can bond more with my bump now!
just randomly yesterday i typed into google "i'm having a baby boy".
and i was so sad, nearly everything that came from the search were forums for gender disappointment, and woman were literally talking about abortion because it was a boy, one woman said i hates boys, i will never love this child because he's a boy.
i thought it was so sad.
i know so many woman with boys and the relationship the little boys have with their mummies is so special, these woman must be mad!
i am besotted with my boy (if its a boy) but would love a little girl equally the same. But how can you not love that baby its a part of you?
anyway end of that its depressing!
Trix poor connor. how many teeth does he have now?

I have to say I really wanted a girl prob cause I missed out in the triplets!! But by the time I left the hosp after been told I was completely in love with him cause it was a boy and I wasnt over my grieving for the girls and it wouldn't have been fair on the baby!!! If that makes sense!!
I now would love a girl cause I think Conor would be an excellent big brother!!!
Thinking of turning on the cbfm after Xmas just having my period now but I think it's time to start again and ttc !!! Of course OH will know nothing abt it!!!if it happens I'm sure he will adjust!! Heehee!
