Super quiet in here

I have 3 sickish children at the moment, they have very hacking coughs and sore throats, runny noses etc, Jaron and me seem fine for the time being.

My life is pettty exciting right now

Hope everyone is healthy and happy

Has been super quiet, i have now finished work and awaiting a baby! lol Yet another hospital appt this week, hopefully something will come of it!!!! Im excited about having my little boy but also sh*t scared!

Hello!! I'm still here, just have nothing interesting to report Ali - I want to hear about your exciting life though!!!

Sitting here trying to rewrite hubby's cv, I don't like the sentence structure, it sounds more like a list of what he does than an ad for how awesome he is. Go figure I was having a fidget with it this morning & his boss mysteriously turned up at home to ask me to price out new curtains Thankfully he's as blind as a bat so wouldn't have had a chance of seeing what I was doing!

Good luck for your hospital appointment, Manda! You're so close now!

Had a dumb earthquake an hour or so ago, yuck...poor Jarvis was nearly asleep, and got thrown into the side railing of his bed! He was very upset about his bed throwing him around!

kathleen - wow, that earthquake was a 5.5 - we'd be diving under doorways here! Anything over 4.8 sucks!

Rachel - great photo. He has the "can't you see i'm busy here" look on his face. Hope your DH improves. I think men in general find it harder to bond with little babies. They often feel left out because there's not a lot they can do apart from changing and bathing.

Ali - glad things are working out for you. Does he have any kids of his own?

My house is a total tip today. I just can't be bothered cleaning it up. How sad is that.

DP got me earrings for my birthday which is really nice but he has failed to notice that in the three years we've been together, I've never actually worn earrings. Told him he must have been thinking of someone else when he brought them lol.

BBL - kids climbing the shelves in the pantry

Keep meaning to post then get distracted O dear Floyd just walked in eating a kiwifruit skin and all, took the skin off and diced it up, now he wont touch it, typical!!

Just as well DP and I arent actively TTC, my cycles are all over the place went off the pill a few months ago and so far have had 22day, 28 days, 26 days, 27 days and this cycle was 34 days!! (was actually kinda bummed when the test was -ve) AF decided to arrived at 4am with lots of cramps, Floyd was wide awake from 3.30-4.30 so feeling ratehr tired today. Just when i think his sleep is sorted it goes out the window, hes back to wanting us to sit in his room till he falls asleep. i woke him after 3 hrs today, prob shouldnt have let him sleep so long but was after 8.30 when he went to sleep last night, then awake for an hour (was horrible he was just laying there awake whimpering and saying no nigh nigh -ended up rocking him off) he was then up for the day at 6.45.

Good luck Manda, cant wait to hear your news!!

Rachel I agree with the others, I think your DH needs professional help I dont think he can sort his issues by himself and its you guys that suffer. I know it must be hard to even 'go there' with him. You know we all care for you and the kids
Oh manda what makes you think you need an emergency c section now? Good luck for your appointment!
Sarah - My cycles ranged anywhere from 30-35 days and I still got UTD without charting so hopefully wont have too much effect when you TTC. Hope they get a bit more regular though.
Glad Im not the only one who couldnt be bothered cleaning today lol.
Am soooo annoyed daycare found a little ring worm on Samantha's outer butt cheek so she is banned from daycare until it clears. HAve no idea where she got it from our cats are clear and DH and I handle the cats more than her and we are clear. Typical that this week is the week Sam was to start going 3 days so I will have to pay for the 3 days

Manda - Oh right, that burning sensation is certainly what I had when I just had my c-section, so must be pressure there for you to be feeling it again. not nice, no wonder why you are over it.

Morning!!

Rach - glad DH is trying to deal with his problems - I agree with the other girls though, he sounds like he needs some proper help. People often think they can fix their own depression - when I was getting help when I was depressed I always kept it in mind that if I had a broken leg I wouldn't try to fix it myself, and this was no different! Good luck hun Hope you're enjoying that delicious little boy of yours despite the grumpy husband!

Funny about the earrings, Ange! Yep, that earthquake wasn't very fun at all. I'd love to live somewhere the ground doesn't bl00dy shake! We had one the night before, only a wee one, but it still had me standing up ready to run! (whilst hubby was sitting at the computer & didn't notice it at all!).

GJen - I can never be bothered cleaning!! One day I'm going to have a magic genie who does it for me (I'd be too embarrassed about the mess to have a human cleaner, it'd totally have to be a genie or an elf or something...)

Sarah - I agree with WW, maybe give some vitex a go Might just help your cycles get sorted out, I know it helped me when I came off depo. Exciting that the pill's gone out the window! I found red clover to be really helpful too, but if you're using them together you only need one cup of red clover tea a day.

Ooooh Manda - exciting stuff!! I hope your scar isn't too sore, and that they decide to get that little dude out soon! I had a couple of friends in oz with Jadelles, and they said they were really brilliant.

Eeek bout the ringworm, Salz! Hope it clears up quickly

WWJen - whoa, what a bike ride! You're awesome! I can't even haul myself out for a walk at the moment, I have a cold & just can't be bothered!

Music this morning, I imagine Jarvis will still be dressed as pirate bikeriding eskimo boy by then. It'll give everyone a laugh, anyhow! He's wearing his pj pants, a puffy jacket, his wiggles backpack and a pirate hat, and is hooning around on his bike making fire engine noises!

Heard on the news this morning that they are predicting a 23% chance that we'll have another magnitude 7 quake in the next year. I'm looking at it that there's a 77% chance that we won't, which are much better odds.

I've REALLY got to clean today. We're having EQC around at 1pm for our inspection and since most of the cracks are up near the ceiling I will have to go on a cobweb hunt. Surprising how many you find when you look.

Wow, its been far too long since I last posted however I have been on here daily lurking rather then posting. So busy with three kids. Don't know how everyone managed to post let alone 5 mins to actually post! (Just as I was typing alone my keyboard batteries went flat and I had to go on the hunt for 2 x AAA's which is not very common in our house! Oh and Bronson has now woken up and I can hear him crying in his cot). Oh well....
I am too going to look at the 77% chance we won't be having a earthquake that large. 2 within 6 months was enough for me to run for the hills, pitty I could not stay for long.
My Mum is coming from Oz on Saturday will be staying for two weeks for Libbi's 5th Birthday and seeing her off on her first day of school. We have our 2nd school visit tomorrow and I must say, I think she will love being a school girl.
Cooper is doing well, decided last week he no longer wanted to be in nappies and he is now on his way to being day trained. Interstingly he had a dentist visit the other week and they have told me the tooth which has not come up may never come through and may not even have an adult tooth either! Its his bottom right next to the front ones, IYKWIM?
Bronson is good, being a little turd with his night sleeps at the moment, he even had me up for a 3am feed two nights ago, just would not settle and I had to resort to feeding him. He has not fed like that for months.
DH is liking his new job and we have just found out he has pre diabetes so a few lifestyle changes to happen here. I think its a good thing though cause I certainly need to loose some weight.
We had a Kuwait student staying with us but with the Feb earthquake and the one we had a few weeks back she was too scared to stay here and has since flown back home. A bit of a bummer as she was really nice. So we are waiting on a new one. Hopefully soon as its really helpful when paying bills.
Umm what else, probably heaps but I suppose I better rescue Bronson before he screams the house down. Hopefully I can post more later when I remember.
