Ahhh Ant, so if there's a sudden influx of morning sickness in the ranks we cann all blame Shaz and the uber gorgeous Bradie then LOL

Congrats Shaz and family!!!! love he's name

Oh thanks guys I think he's pretty hot too.

Congrats Shaz & Matt (finally) on the safe arrival of Bradie!!! I am so glad to hear that you are both doing well and yes, he is SUPER gorgeous! (I did see a pic of him and I could honestly just eat him all up!) Congrats again Shaz, you did a fabulous job baking that one up!



PS - You can definitely add me to the clucky ranks, but I've been like that for ages...this just makes it WORSE!

hahahahahaha that is funny Sue!! I'm waiting to hear news from any of you girls that may be expecting.....love babies...I would have had more but time just ran out so I will have to be happy gooing at other peoples babies!! (good that I have 6 grandkids hey??)

Wowzers Shaz!!! 9lb 5oz and 53cm.... He's a big boy!!!

dd was one of those itsy-bitzy six-pounders, so I always marvel at how much "fun" it must've been for Mums who carry around big bubba's in their tums...

HUGE CONGRATS on the safe arrival of your new addition!!!

Bradie is a cool name - although Homebrand would make him stand out from the crowd...

I'm cyber-sniffing that sweet new baby smell...

New babies always make me clucky but there ain't no way I'm starting IVF again! I just count my blessing that I eventually got to bring dd into the world after so many years and trying.

Hugs xx

oooo i might be able to visit!!! yay!!! didnt realize u lived so close

im grateful that seb was only 8lbs 1oz!!
Deffinately a cool name tho!! congrats again

Congrats Shaz. Haven't been on for a few days, so my belated congrats to you and the family on Bradie's safe arrival!!!! I hope he is behaving, and if not you can't get mad at him if he's as cute as what I hear!

Finally!!! For some reason I haven't been able to get on here. I think it's because I hooked up to the hospitals wireless Internet so I didn't have to use mine and now I can't unhook. Well he's now sleeping like a baby, awake from midnight til 3am He only gave me one good night but last night wasn't too bad, I got 4 hrs in one hit.
I'm off home soon, missing my other babies like mad so checking out early. They'll be so excited to see me when I pick them up from crèche.
Well who knows when I'll be next on here cause it's back to reality when I get home so it was nice knowing you all hopefully once I get organised and get the routine thing happening I'll be able to play on here more.
Thank you all so much for you kind words and well wishes and I'll be sure to post some pics up when I get time.

Shaz!!!!!

Shaz!!!
You'll be fine, I am sure you will pop on here from time to time, if only for a small dose of sanity (LOL) and to brag about your beautiful baby!

Your a brave woman Shaz, and a MASSIVE sook!! I would have stayed in hosp as long as possible (at least until they were kicking me out) and just made Matt bring the kiddies to visit each day!!

Thought I'd jump on quick while Matt was showering the kids. I was going insane in there, although probably should have stayed, got up this morning and Matt went into work Grrrrrrrrrr. Soooo tired, slowly getting on top of thing, though I think it will be a while before I have a clean house again

I'd much rather be at home than in hospital. With DS I was in for 5 days and on the final day I discharged myself and left DS in hospital (It was only 5 min drive away) so that I could go home and have a decent shower. They phoned me when DS woke up and I went back to feed him. He was discharged later that day (we were waiting for some test results as they thought he might have jaundice). With DD I went in on the Thursday evening, gave birth half an hour later and came out on the Saturday morning. DS was only 19months old and it was difficult for DH to visit with him as he just wanted to run around so it was much better to be at home.

yeah that was another reason, the kids were going insane stuck in the room with me, they were running all over the place, in and out of the bathroom and wardrobe. Matt could only bring them up for short visits and I was missing them like mad. Good to be home.

Congrats Shaz!!!!!!!!! and welcome to the world Bradie (although I think you will still be Homebrand to us here).

What a size Shaz! OMG!

Didn't stay in hospital much with Ethan and Eli either. If it wasn't for the GD I would have been home the same day but instead stayed overnight then went home.

They almost kept me in for 5th day! i was in a little longer because of my blood pressure. if there was any sign of seb not healthy on the last day they would have kept me in! but he was a healthy bub yAY!!!! I just wanted to get out and about. have learnt now to just sit still, but still get ansy!!

Gee where has the time gone! We are slowing getting back to life as we know it , just with an extra child in it Bradie is sleeping great and feeding is getting quicker thank goodness. It's hard to entertain 2 kids when feeding was taking up to an hour. Have got it down to half that time now and seems to be getting quicker. I'm thinking maybe because he's so MASSIVE He's about the size Jay was at 9-10 weeks. I'm back to multi tasking again, I'm outside on the swing feeding Bradie and watching Jay rise his bike. Rani is sleeping. I am learning to rest more than I did when I had Rani, and my house is suffering for it but I just spend the best hour laying on the floor doing puzzles with Jay. I seemto have gotten so hung up in housework I was missing out on time with my babies. And when he kept saying "mum I love you" every few minutes it made me realise he was missing it too.
Well it's half time with feeding, nappy to change and back into it.

Great to hear you are FINALLY slowing down Shaz!! I have 'Uh ha' moments with the kids quite often too, i spend so much time doing 'stuff' and ignoring them that i think i really should spend more time with them, cos they are growing up way too quickly!!

Keep up the good work, and remember to take time out for your sanity!!

Here Here to what Vicki said!!!! Housework will be there tomorrow, next month, next year etc but this day with your child wont ever happen again - relax and enjoy

Yes Shaz relax, enjoy your time. But if you do need some mojo I can give you that chatroom link if you need. I'm in there just about all day everyday.

Yes Vic and treens I'm realising housework can wait, but Becci I still need a shiny sink and won't go to bed until I have it HB has been a bit unsettled the last 2 nights, but he is finally asleep so guess where I'm headed

so glad to hear that all is well Shaz. when do we get some pics of the MASSIVE "HB" with his brother & sister???

Feeding again outside so thought I'd jump on for a looksee. I keep forgetting to put pics up but will try and remember tonight when the kids go to bed.
