October 07 babies!

Interestingly we went to the Drs this morning for Olis cough, and although they took precautions in case of swine flu, (ie masks) the Dr doesnt think he has it - thinks he just has a viral cough. They do want me to go back and get a flu jab once I can confirm whether I am pregnant or not (AF due next week, so will know soon!!) They are being vigilant giving the jab to people with asthma, so will be good to get it done.

Oli seems fairly bright, just a nasty cough and a little bit of diorhea, the cough is worse at night, but he seems to be on the mend a wee bit. His ears, throat and chest were all clear, so was pleased about that, as normally he would have had a ear infection as well!

MM - how are you feeling?

 

DJ, that's no good! I really hope you don't get sick either.

The hospitals in Auckland now have policies to manage wine flu, whereby they're not allowing children into the maternity wards. I can appreciate they don't want to expose vulnerable babies/woman to it, but means you can't see your other kids. I think it will mean shorter hospital stays

Oh gosh DJ, poor Anyssa, I hope she hasn't got it.

Stink about a cold kabe, seems to be everything is going around at the mo huh!

SS, good luck to you! I am out this month, AF arrived on Friday night for me just in time to enjoy a few rum and cokes! Well I must admit the rum and cokes were delayed till late as DH came home with a swollen face, so off to the A&E we went. Turns out he has yet another skin infection in his cheek this time! So Friday night consisted of cutting open his check, inserting a drain and then back again each day for dressing changes, so rum and cokes were definately on the menu after watching that

I have decided to go back on Weight Watchers as I have put on 10kgs over winter, what a So started on Saturday, on day 3 today and am feeling so much better for it! Played 90 mins of full on soccer yesterday, the hardest game I have ever played in my life, and then went for a run today for an hour!   I am determined to get back to 70kgs!!!

We go to Perth in 5 weeks and I need to fit one of my Summer dresses for the wedding we are going to!

MM, any news hun?? Thinking of you, so exciting!!

I know so many kids that are sick, mainly with the flu or chicken pox! CP are rife out our way at the moment!!

Yucky conjunctivitis, how annoying for Eva, its such an annoying thing to get!

It seems that whenever DH does long hours (last week he worked till after 10:30pm every night) he gets some kind of rundown type sickness eg: these skin infections    He is so looking forward to going to Perth for a break!

He is also taking next Friday off too as we are going skiing for the weekend. Cheap as chips for us as we have a friend with a house down at Oakune! I am going on Wednesday with my friend and her 2 girls, DH is coming down on Thursday after work! Laurens first time at the snow!!

Yup still here! Poor DH gets concerned/excited whenever stop what I'm doing to handle some pain, but it's just the same old stuff I've been having for the last week or so - just a couple of niggles and then it stops. Apart from that I'm feeling fat, tired, uncomfy and a little sore - and very sorry for myself

The nice news is that FIL's surgery went well, and as soon as he gets a certain % of movement back into the joint he can go home.

*Big Hugs* to all the sick babes out there.

Peachy a day in the snow sounds like fun! Your poor DH.

Sam are we crossing our fingers for you???

Deb I think that I'm a little bit smaller than last time. I'm still wearing my belt with my jeans (under the bump) but it may be because I was smaller to start out, or because I'm carrying differently. Blair was 9lb 2oz, which surprised a few people, cos they thought he was going to be smaller

Blair has been so cute today, he had become more attatched to his puppy. Its one that when you touch certain body parts and it says what it is, or it's colour, or sings a wee song. Anyway, Blair often tries to put puppy to bed on either the couch, or a box - including a pillow and a blanket, and the other day was trying to put a nappy on him. This evening (having fish and chips for dinner) he decided that puppy needed to share and went and got him and sat him in his chair instead.

lol SS!

Maybe a boozy weekend away might get ya preggers if your not UTD by then

Sorry so much sickies in here. Thats awkward with swine fle and being preggy DJ - I'm sure your immune system is nice and high right now and you will fly through without catching it. Does Es conjunctivitis mean you couldn't go away for work tomorrow Kabe? Hope you have good backup support?

Ooo, countdown to Perth Peachy - how exciting!

I'm not going to say anything MM

Carys is lovely right now - it would be such a good time to ttc again. I'm sure in a few mths time when we are ready to she will have turned into a monster again and I won't want another one

Loving all the pics girls! Sal - I think E and T are quite different. I think T looked like DH from the start whereas I could see both of you in Es early photo. They certainly do both have your lovely lips though

Deb you look gorgeous, and your SMs aren't obvious at all. I'm picking you'll just have a 9lber again this time

Oh poor wee Eva! hope her eyes clear up fast.

I'm not convinced that A has flu - she isn't that sick today (eg jumping on the tramp and laughing this morning), but the fever is unusual for her and the cough came on before the snot, which the nurse said they are seeing in kids with swine flu. The test might be how sick I get with it considering that A sneezed right in my face I'd say it's just a question of when!

Deb, I'm avoiding the dr waiting room for the same reasons.

Eeeeeeeek after a bit of haggling we have a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So exciting - can't move until 3 weeks before due date, but we will have a bedroom for the bubba (and one for my mother to come and help!)
OMG so grown up to have a "family" home - 4bed, 2 living, flash kitchen, WIR, ensuite, dble garage, drive on, flat lawn!!!
