:( the sickness that hit with Tyler at 30weeks has well and truly hit again.
This is day 3 of a severe migraine and with that comes constant nausea, light sensitivity, motion sickness and of course vomiting :( I have been taking pain killers mainly 2 panadol in the morning 2 panadine before bed but I really really hate taking them. I tired heat pack but they did nothing. :(
Unfortunately unlike last pregnancy this one i can't just hide away in bed like I want to :(
I am hoping it's worse at the moment due to the surge in hormones at 30weeks and it settles down a bit when my body adjusts. Fingers crossed anyway.
I can certainly feel those Hormones making the changes in preparation for bubs arrival. My nipples burn every now and again and I know the feeling as a leak/let down feeling so I am thinking they will probably start leaking sooner or later. Grabbed some breast pads at the shop yesterday just in case.
My hips and lower back have really started loosening. No PSD pain yet but bub has only just turned around no down ward pressure yet. I think Tyler dropped around 35weeks but I think with ur 2nd it's later and a lot closer to when u go into labour? Who knows. Just glad he has turned around hopefully he stays this way. I was breach until my mum went into labour so I am hoping being my 2nd bub that it doesn't do that to me. I would prefer a VB.
Turns out my 3D scans are tomorrow!! Yay so exciting can't wait to see what he looks like :)

30weeks
We made it - the final 10weeks.
Yesterday i felt great, i was so excited thinking wow only 10weeks to go not long at all.
Today I feel like crap and 10weeks seems like forever! :( I have had headaches for a couple of weeks now, tried the chiropractor but it I'd nothing. Today I have woken up sick. I just want to vomit. So nauseous. :( I know I got sick at 30weeks with Tyler but wow bang on 30weeks? :(
The headache is a shocker already today though. I am taking panadol and occasional panadine when it's really bad but I really do hate taking all these drugs. :( i would try a nap while Tyler is down but I know I won't sleep it's only 8:30am I have only been up since 6! Trying to sleep but not sleeping will probably just make it worse.
Mind u Tyler was so sleepy even lying down on the floor sleepy. Put him in the cot and nope mummy wide awake. He isn't whinging just moving about and playing with his toys so hopefully he will eventually have a nap. Will Go in in a little bit to make sure he hasn't done a poo, sometimes its why he won't go down to sleep.
I have noticed the pressure on my aorta is increasing already. I think this is what it is or at least it's what it feels like. I get an odd sensation of tightness in my chest/upper stomach. I then get a wave of strange feeling wash over me and then I get light headed then a real pressure builds in my head, I can feel the pulse in my ears like my blood pressure has sky rocketed and my ears and head are going to burst. I remember getting it with Tyler too and everything was fine. Just think sometimes they rest on the wrong bit. Must check my BP though haven't checked in over a week.
I'm going to have to try and alter Tyler's diet i think. He has been off his food because he was sick but he just doesn't seem interested in any food at all. Dry reaches at anything I put in his mouth. Not sure if he is still sick or now sick with something else but he is having 5 bottles a day again and only slightly picking at food. It's not that he is fussy he isn't even touching the stuff he normally loves. Hopefully it passes.
Going to try and move him into his big boy room today. Not sure what else I want to tick off the list. Not spewing is about all I have right now.
Down to single digit count down tomorrow. Bring on December!

Sickness
It really annoys me when people take their sick kids out and it makes others sick. Tyler doesn't have that much physical contact with other kids other than my friends kids and mummies groups.
He had his 12month needles last Wednesday and on Friday I noticed he was off and had a slight temp. By Sunday this had escalated he was off all solid food and by about 2pm his fever was getting really bad. I monitored him over night and gave him panadol. I simply figured it was from his needles.
He had a very restless night waking frequently and crying but managed to get himself back to sleep quickly. I knew he had a fever but I didn't want to go in and wake him up if he was still mostly asleep as this just makes him very disorientated and he gets really upset. I usually give him 5 mins if he doesn't resettle I go in and settle him.
Anyway in the morning as he was off his solids I was giving him a bottle and noticed a light rash. Started on his hands and feet but by 7am it was from head to toe. I know rashes can be bad but I also know when it's viral they can't do much about it so I did some googling and it seemed to be either hand foot and mouth or possibly mild measles from the MMR vaccine.
Being pregnant i decided to take him to the dr. She said she thought it was hand foot and mouth and to give panadol and neurofen and keep up fluids. No problems with me being pregnant.
I really wasn't sure that's what he had as his rash really was bad all over and not blistery. He got worse that day though, refusing to sleep even on me, he fever was bad and it was so hot due to the building storm. We did our normal bed routine and he slept for about 20mins but woke up crying and nothing I did could settle him :( we decided to bring him into our bed but he simply wouldn't stop crying. It was a really distressed cry too so heart breaking. I was so close to taking him to hospital as I honestly didn't know what else to do. Neither panaol or neuofen was helping :( finally at 10pm he crawled to the edge of the bed and passed out. Unfortunately he wasn't sleeping as he was thrashing around the bed and I wondered if it was because it wasn't he normal bed and we were there moving and waking him up. So at midnight I gave him some more panadol, a bottle and popped him into his cot. He went down straight away but woke crying every 20mins but again put himself back to sleep quickly. At 2:30am he finally fell into a deeper sleep and didn't stir till 5:30am and even I managed a couple of hours sleep.
I noticed in the morning that the rash on his head and body were now smaller white raised dots some still red but tiny but the ones on his hands and feet were big and red and blistery. Very nasty looking. He was also having trouble swallowing and the saliva was just pouring out of his mouth so it was likely he had this nasty blistery ones in his mouth. Yep hand foot and mouth. Where in the hell did he get it from?
His fever had finally broken and Yesterday he managed 2 hour then 3 hour nap and last night he slept through without stirring once. This morning he ate some breakfast. It was hard for him he was still struggling to swallow but he was trying so it seems he is on the mend.
So unfortunately this means we are under house arrest until the spots clear up, which is fine as I don't want to make any other babies sick, perhaps if someone else had done the same Tyler wouldn't have gotten sick :(
This also meant I couldn't make CJ's farewell on Monday :( this was very sad for me but I needed to looks after my sick little man. I have seen the pics though and it looked beautiful. I was hoping to release some balloons from here at home but as Tyler hadn't stopped crying all day I never got a chance and now I can't get out of the house to get any :( A knows I would have been there if I could. She seems ok but she has a very long road ahead of her :(
Bubba boy seems all good. Nothing to report there really. Have my 3D/4D scan next wednesday. Will be 30+5 exactly the same as what i was with Tyler. Wonder what he will look like!
Can't believe i will be 30weeks on Friday. Home stretch! Should start getting my butt into gear. I am not even remotely ready for this bub.

Life can be utterly horrible and devastating
Yesterday was a very emotional and draining day.
I may have mentioned about 3weeks ago that one of the bubs in our September 2011 group was sick. He had been diagnosed with a fatal lung condition. Well 4pm on Thursday he passed away. His mum and dad had been told he will eventually but there had been hope with medication and things. He had been home for the week. Sadly on Thursday he couldn't keep fighting :( It just feels so quick and sudden and just horrible.
His mum said they were out in the car and he just wouldn't settle. Her DH had to stop at the mechanic so she took him out of this car seat and held him and settled him down. Her DH got back to the car and the 3 of them were sitting there as her little guys breaths just slowed down and stopped. :( they rushed him to the hospital which was 2 mins away but she felt in her heart resuscitating him was the wrong thing to do and they asked them to stop :( My god how do u make that decision? Nothing in the world could be harder.
I simply just can't stop the tears. It breaks my heart over and over again thinking about the pain and grief this family is going through.
I held Tyler so close yesterday. This little man had been in the world only as long as Tyler I couldn't bear to imagine life without him.
A said she is really struggling with knowing what to do. Her whole life has been CJ for the past 12months. What is she meant to do if she isn't a mummy anymore :(
God it's just gut wrenching. :(
The funeral is on Monday but we have decided not to go. As we are her mums group and all have kids CJ's age we thought the memories would be too much so we have all decided to go to a beach down the gold coast and write some messages in the sand, let some balloons go and also perhaps sends some messages out into the ocean. We will take some photos and put them into a memory book for A so that one day perhaps when she is strong enough she can look at it and know we were sending our prayers and love.
It brings home how precious life is and how important it is to cherish it and love the important people in ur life and to show them that love everyday.
A took CJ to hospital 3 weeks ago with croup and now he is gone.

28+5
Had my OBGYN appointment this arvo. No gestational diabetes which is awesome. My iron levels came back low so I have had to go onto a supplement but that's fine. Explains the exhaustion and hopefully I will have some energy back soon.
He said bub was measuring a little big but going back and having a look at the scans when i got home bub is spot on for my due date calc. The dr is still going off the edd 11/12/12 which was from the first scan at 6 weeks where the scan tech was having trouble getting a good pic of bub. All the other scans including one at 9 weeks put the edd at the 5/6th. So this is why I simply go off my lmp date and say due the 7th. These dates are probably right as with Tyler I was charting. I ovulate on cd13 so with him my lmp due date was the 12/09/11 but ovulation put it at 11/09/11. So he was born the 12/09/12 so bang on my lmp due date. So if we go by lmp date hopefully bubba will be born on the 7th.
He is still sitting in breech which is fine he has plenty of time to turn around. He said that's more than likely what is causing my pain as his head is right up in my ribs.
So pretty good all round. Had my antiD shot, get my next one at 34weeks.
Spoke to the dr about the hospital stay. He said for 2nd baby I can go home when ever I am ready and if he agrees I am ok and if the paed says bub is ok to leave too :) this is great news I thought i would have to stay the whole 4 days.
Tyler had his 12month needles today too. He did really well he had a little cry but mainly just glared at the nurses lol. Was not happy with them at all!
He weighed in at 11.48kg :) that was the 80th %. He is in the 90th % for his height so all healthy!
Not much else to report really. Tyler starts his new swimming lesson tomorrow. My mum has said he wants to take him for the next level up which I was happy about. Being nearly 29weeks it's already getting hard to get in and out of the pool and these lesson will take Tyler up to the end of November and to full term so I couldn't imagine trying to get in and out then.
Be good for him to do the next level too he was getting comfortable and confident in the other one so it was definitely time to take him up.
Stuff to do before bed should get moving! :)

All the festivities are done and dusted. For now :)
So Tyler's first birthday lasted a whole week but finally it's over lol. I was so exhausted yesterday afternoon.
It was a great day at his birthday BBQ yesterday he was a bit tired and grumpy but it was nice to have soany people come and help us celebrate.
He got lots of great presents which was so nice of everyone.
Now things can settle down for a bit. I still have to cleaning up an resorting to do but there is no rush on that.
I need to move Tyler into his new room but need to get curtains first the crap blinds in the place block no light out.
I am going to try and get him into daycare 1 day a week for a few hours. Will be good for him to play with other bubba's while I am not there. I am really struggling to actually take that step and and do it lol. I know he needs it and it will be good for him but I haven't been away from him for more than a few hours in over a year! I will get there.
Have his needles on Wednesday then I have to go up to the hospital for my anti-d and then off to DrA :) looking forward to getting my recent results back and doing some measurements just to make sure all is ok. :)
Looking forward to getting to 30weeks an being on the count down home.
Tyler is a full time walker now :) only crawls when playing chasie around the house with B. Walking is far too slow for that game. Lol
My big 30 is the next big thing in our little family but I am bypassing it this year. Might just go out for lunch or something. Won't be dinner because at 37weeks I will want to be in bed as soon as Tyler is and don't want to push that back any later lol.
After that its bus arrival! I have to start putting final preparations in place now.
-Clean car inside and out
-Install baby capsule
-Transfer Tyler's clothes over to his room
-Put bubs clothes into nursery
-Fix and rehang musical mobiles (Tyler broke them all)
-Bring out of storage and clean bassinet, swings and bouncers
-sterilize breast pump and new born bottles
- restock medicine cabinet with infacol, infants friend, new baby panadol etc
-sterilise nipple shields
- pack hospital bag
- wash wraps and blankets (being December probably won't need blankets but just in case)
- finish setting up and make spare
Bed for when B's mum arrives
-bring out baby bath thing and baby towels
- set up 2nd seat for pram ready to be installed
-restock baby wipes, new born nappies, disposable change table mats
- install curtain rod in nursery and hang curtains properly
- get out and wash all burp/spew cloths
-install curtains in main bedroom. Lol I will start using the epi-no at around 36weeks and our bedroom faces the road and although I doubt u could see in with the blinds closed I am NOT taking any chances!
-buy new fridge/freezer
- make and freeze bulk lots of food
- buy grill cooker (lost my last one somewhere along the way)
- pick up blender from mums house
- contact hands and feet lady regarding bub's impressions. Will fall right on christmas eve. Fingers crossed she isn't on holidays.
- set up christmas tree and decorations (mid nov)
-
Having only just over 11weeks to go I am also going to start putting our new diet in place. This involves preparing a heap of food for when bub arrives and freezing it. Mainly food for Tyler and B. For me I want to start eating more grilled meat and salads and veggies. My sister is looking to get married in Aug/sept next year so I need to make sure I have all my baby weight off.
I think that's about it lol.

Happy birthday
1 year ago today our little man Tyler decided to join us :) it's been a very full on eventful, and wonderful year. Still can't believe it's been a year.
We had a fantastic day celebrating. Tyler had lots of new toys to play with and had a ball.
I have to say I am totally and utterly exhausted :( not sure if I am getting sick or just that with everything going on bubba boy is also having a gigantic growth spurt! My tummy is killing me at the moment feels like it is stretched to the max and he is just going to burst out. Hopefully after Tyler's bday BBQ on the weekend things will quieten down and I can sit down and take it easy for a bit.
Tyler's bed turned out awesome too :) he loves it.
This is also a belly pic from 27weeks I feel even bigger now. Will definitely be interesting to get his size measurements next wednesday at the obgyn.
Have my GTT tomorrow fingers crossed all is ok.
Have started taking my BP as this is when it started rising with Tyler but it's still sitting on 120/60
Oh and apparently now that Tyler is a walking toddler he can do as he pleases as u can see by the climbing lol!

This is also a belly pic from 27weeks I feel even bigger now. Will definitely be interesting to get his size measurements next wednesday at the obgyn.
Have my GTT tomorrow fingers crossed all is ok.
Have started taking my BP as this is when it started rising with Tyler but it's still sitting on 120/60
Oh and apparently now that Tyler is a walking toddler he can do as he pleases as u can see by the climbing lol!

27+2 - 3rd trimester!!!!
Well we are on the home stretch now! Less than 13weeks to go and we are into the 3rd trimester. The put on fat stage - for bubba that is lol. Although probably me too as I can tell he is going through a growth spurt as I am Starving.
Right now though I'm tired so it's off to bed! This getting up 50million times a night to pee is driving me bonkers. I'm sure it was never this bad with Tyler! Oh well not long to go

We have a walker!
7 days short of his 1st birthday and we finally have a walker! After over 6 months of crawling I never thought it was going to happen but yesterday afternoon he tested it out and I thought maybe he would wake up today and not remember any of it but he has. He takes about 10steps from an object if he is already standing and about 4-5 if he stands up by himself. He is still very wobbly but I think he finally understands there is a point to it and is really trying to work hard at it :)
Nothing else going on really still trying to sort the house and feel like I get absolutely no where most days. I was finally able to buy a free standing pantry and that has made a huge difference for me to be able to start sorting things. Still lots and lots to go before the big mans birthday next week but now I at least feel it's achievable.
Bubba boy is going well too. Making me tired but that's expected now. I have started thinking about the birth and remembering Tyler's. It's amazing how much u actually block out. The biggest issue for me is Tyler. I know my obgyn said the 2nd time u will know what's going on more. I really don't feel that way and actually feel a bit anxious by it. My mum is a drinker so I can't get her to look after Tyler at night. My sister may travel from interstate and be here before bub is born so we may be able to drop Tyler there but her son will be 9 months then. To get Tyler anywhere and then to the hospital the trip will be around an hour/ hour and a half. During the day my mum or sister will come to our place and take him from there to save us time well not really it will take them at least 20mins to get here. Then it's 40-45 mins to the hospital. Middle of the night my mum can't drive and I wouldn't want my sister to wake her little one. B's mum is going to come up but she is a 14 hour drive away and won't leave until I am in labour so she can spend more time here with the kids. I really don't know what we can do. I have friends but they all have little ones I wouldn't want to disturb in the middle of the night.
Then there is Tyler's attachment issues with me. I am already worried about the 4 days I have to spend in hospital let alone before bub is born and B and I are both out. He is comfortable with nanna but that's it. He is my velco baby at the moment and only I can put him down to sleep. I know it's 3 months away and lots can change but it's definitely playing on my mind.
Then there is the labour itself. I was so violently ill during Tyler's birth :(
I found my epi-no the other day. Probably won't start using that until 36weeks so still awhile away but at least I managed to find it.
My goodness I can ramble on! Supposed to be doing house work so I should probably go do it!
