View Full Version : July 06 - They're Growing Too Quick!!! #4
Good morning
Maira, Brianna looks so grown up and she looks so happy with her new out fit. Glad to hear she had a nice birthday.
Kaz, i bet you are stocked with going part time this week. Hope Pip goes well with her needles. And glad to hear things are going well with Stevie.
Not much else to report. We had a nice day yesterday. We had my nephew for the afternoon and since it was raining we went to Scallywags (indoor play centre) so the boys run a muck for a couple of hours, they both nearly fell asleep on the way home.

morning all, had another pretty good sleep last night. I cant believe its still raining though :D got quite cold here feeding the guts at 5am this morning though.
:( Cris and I had an arguement this morning, (i wont go too much into it though) but we both said some horrible things, he then left for work and the silly bugger didnt take his mobile, so i cant call him at all. :( MEN!!:hair:
Linas just gone down for her morning sleep, but this morning her nose has started to run again, Im so OVER winter!!!!
bbl, need to put some clothes in the dryer

Love the photos Maria! Lina & Natty look so alike.
There was more I was going to reply to but can't think of them now, I have been reading but not posting so don't know where I am up to :o
Feeling very sh!t today, AF isn't due for another week but I have got PMS x 100000000 (just ask Paul :laughing: ).
Hope you are all having a great day xoxo
I hate when we start a new thread, I can never remember what I was going to reply to lol..
Maria hope Cris calls you or something during the day.. It sucks when they leave for work on a bad note.. :hugs:
Haylie - hope you feel better soon :hugs:
Well we got to go out for dinner last night, my darling mum came over and looked after the boys for us. We just went out for chinese but it was so relaxing.. When we got home we ended up lying on the loungeroom floor in front of the heater giggling like school kids :laughing:
After such a nice night I actually woke up in a really good mood this morning which is nice lol.
Marks just gone to take Zac to school so thought I'd pop in quickly.
BBL Kai's just emptied his ball pit all over the loungeroom lol.

Morning ladies
I generally hate a new thread being started too but have decided to look upon it as a fresh start and let myself off trying to read through everything I've missed of late!!
Maria :hugs: I hate arguing! I've been feeling fairly distanced from DH lately and it's awful. Hope Cris rings you, you guys always sound so perfect!
Feeling very sh!t today, AF isn't due for another week but I have got PMS x 100000000 (just ask Paul :laughing: ).
Haylie - are you sure you're not experiencing pregnancy symptoms? Seems to early for PMS :fingerscrossed:
My life is so full of work lately that I haven't anything interesting to report... apart from the fact that we filled underneath the cubby with sand on Saturday so the boys had a wonderful weekend playing in their new sandpit! It's so cool to be able to spend time in our backyard with them, which until recently hasn't been very kid friendly at all.
I'm going through a hard patch with my book as selling online isn't proving very successful yet and I have a distributor interested who would get my books into bookshops, but they want to take it for basically the price I paid, which means I wouldn't make ANYTHING! I may even lose money.... which I can't afford to do. My aim with this book isn't to make loads of money, I more want to help people breastfeed and get the msg out there, but I can't afford to go broke!! :hair:
Anyway enough whinging! Kaz - glad the parttime wrok is going well.
Sorry to everyone else fo my lack of personals, I need to try and keep up!!
Aaahhh... Just got back from getting EVERYTHING waxed.... feel so much lighter... :laughing:
This weather is dismal.... :gloomy:
BBS to catch up, off to get a snack while P is :sleeping:

Just quickly...Maria, the links for the pics aren't working?! :(

20-08-2007, 11:03
Kaz- OUCH! I have never been one for waxing, too much of a scaredy cat :laughing:
Nel- that is so cute about giggling on the floor. I love moments like those, they make such good memories. Glad to hear things are going well with Mark & Zac.
Rach- I love being outside with Mason too, he loves it! I'd love to get a sandpit for him, you have reminded me to look for one! I was thinking the same thing about the PMS but I am only like 7/8 days past ovulation so would assume it is far too early to be a preg symptom since even if I was pregnant the egg wouldn't have implanted yet so I don't know :confused: I hope you are right though!
Mariposa
20-08-2007, 11:39
you guys always sound so perfect!
far from perfect dear Rach. We do have our fair share of dramas, I just dont normally post about the negative things. but this morning really got to me.
I hope you can sell your book more, I will let a few friends of mine know, who have just found out that they are pregs.
Just quickly...Maria, the links for the pics aren't working?! :(
Nay, I just went back, and clicked them and they worked? not sure why you cant see them :confused:
He still hasnt called *sigh* should make for an interesting arvo, but we wont be able to talk tonight, as i have a meeting for work that i need to attend.
forgot to tell you ladies, for the last 2 days Kai has been saying 'mummy' and as lovely as it is to hear it's already getting annoying :laughing: He has perfected the different tones for different things so the whingey 'mummmeeeeeeee' is now being yelled at me by two boys:rolleyes:
I almost got up and recorded him when he woke up this morning calling out to me, it went from a 'mummy I'm awake' type call and ended up as a very loud, short tempered 'Mummy!! get me out of here' yell lol.
Zac and I did some face painting yesterday.. He wanted to be a vampire
Zacula (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/Mystik/Zacula002.jpg)
The paints were a bit cr*ppy from being left outside but I thought he looked pretty scary lol. And he cant sit still for 5seconds at a time so I was painting on a moving canvas lol.
Hi lovelies!
We had a fab time at the movies. Can you believe it was $30 just for lollies and popcorn though! I'm so glad I didn't bother organising something here cos DH is renovating the kitchen and the place is a mess.
Still, I have more cupboards now so that's good.
Today at the CHN's stand outside the pharmacy they were doing footprints for father's day. Such a cute idea, until I pulled off bubba's tights to show the CHN what grubby feet she had. She's been busting to play outside with the big kids and her little feet were all scratched up and dirty. I feel like a bad mumma. No more bare feet for Miss Eliana!
Maria :fingerscrossed: your sister can move here. It would be lovely to have her around.
Nel - love the comment from DP about being a team. Very diplomatic!
Rach - hope the book sells better.
Shea - :fingerscrossed: someone signs up for a doula soon!
Gotta get the big kids from school x byee
Hey ladies,
Remember me?
Pegs you forgot me already! Thought I made an impression when we met. Just joking with you.
The boys are still sick and so am I. Tommy was in our bed all night last night. THey are coughing heaps and its really worrying me so I lay there most of the night just watching them and listening. Jordan has been much better with his sleeping at night and I have only been getting up once to him through the night and he is staying in his cot all night. I think I told you he had pneumonia (mild).
I am still fighting the flu and just feel ordinary. I have had it now for a month. I am really worried about all of us with how bad this flu is.
Has anyone booked their bubbas into kindy?
Rach sorry I haven't sent anything through for you with BF twins. I lay in bed each night thinking about it and what to say. I am still BF . Probably 3-4 little drinks a day but I think I am drying up.
THe boys have toast and cereal for breaky then some kind of sandwhich and sometimes yoghurt for lunch.
SNacks they have the heinz things or arrowroot bikkies or tiny teddies or home made ones.
Dinner well they still have blended stuff (stew, chicken casserole, veges etc) as I know they are getting a fair amount of food into them.. Tommy spits chunky bits out. THey had a sausage last night and also like nuggets. They love soup especially potato and leek soup which i make.
Hope everyone is well. Haven't been on much as we are all just so unwell atm.
Lili B - PCOS I know a bit about it (haven't had it myself but a close friend has). Recommend specialist called Barabara Hall. She is excellent and helped us heaps with the boys.
Good luck Jacqui - I know what those drugs are like. Especially the needles.
Mrs Duck how are you and Mr Duck and the ducklings?
Maria - hope you sis is okay. How old is she?
Hi to everyone else. Been reading all arvo and have probably missed something or someone.
chow for now
Just wondering when you are coming up? Or have I missed it? It would be nice to meet you
honeydew
20-08-2007, 17:03
Maria- I hope you and hubby work things out tonight. Paul & I are sort of arguing at the moment, well it's mostly just me snapping at him over little things :shame:
Nel- a very good job you did on Zacula :laughing:
Bessie- OMG it's expensive to go to the movies isn't it? That is a lot of money just for snacks, too bad you can't take your own food in hey.
Jayney- sorry to hear your boys and you are still unwell. I got given an Anne Geddes book and one of the quotes in there always makes me think of you- "There are two things in life for which we are never truly prepared: Twins." Alongside it is a picture of twins, very cute.
Aimee- I think my friend Carrie is organising a BB party so hopefully I can make it and I will get to meet you! She is a fellow hubber.
Gtg, Paul just got home :wave:
Just wondering when you are coming up? Or have I missed it? It would be nice to meet you

Evening...
Jayney, Really thinking of you. I've been sick for over a month now too and it's hard having to run around with Luci... can't imagine what it's like with two little ones. Great to hear from you. Hope you're all 100% soon. xxoo
Maria, hope you and Cris get everything sorted out. I hate fights, but when we have them there huge...
Nel, love your awesome face painting!!
Haylie, I hope you're feeling happier soon. Fingers crossed it's not PMT!
Rach, lovely to hear from you. Sorry that the book sales aren't going as well as hoped. My MIL is going to buy a copy in the next week- her niece is preg. I'm meeting with my mothers group tomorrow so I'll tell them about it!
Bessie, your trip to the movies sounds great! Hope you're feeling more on top of things.
That's all the personals I can remember:o Hi to everyone!!
We are good. Luci had her day at day care today and loved it as usual. We spent about 5 hours working on our tax which is now almost ready to go the accountant. I hope we get something back....
Booked DH's accom for resi school in Sep and now we're just waiting for his work to arrive so he can start. I'm feeling pretty organised at the moment, just hope I can stay on top of everything. Only have our Wills to do now...(hopefully tomorrow when she has her morning sleep...)
Think that's about all.....
Love to all xxx

Jayney - you are freaking me out by reading my mind!!! I was just thinking, seriously five mins ago, hmmmm better book M into kindy soon!
Oh so scary!
Rach - hang in there with your book, don't betray yourself by signing any deal that doesn't work for you. These things are exponential my dear lass!
Sorry I have been missing in action! I was so ill that I couldn't even get up, let alone log on. Just got back from MIL and FIL's where I spent a couple of days.
Feeling human again now
Well working tomorrow so I had better go
Lets see what personals I can remember (and I haven't read the old thread sorry)
Tash - please pm me to tell me what has happened for you and Suat?? If you don't mind that is.
Kaz - LOVE a thorough waxing!!! Only ever have time for the half version lately but I am booked in for THE LOT very soon too!!!!
Nellie, your arty farty side becomes you lovely, your lad looks simply delightful! Jakey also has "mammma" downpat.
Actually he is just starting to talk heaps, little expressions. He doesn't have to talk much coz M does all his talking for him! He signs like a trooper though. And seriously has an entire vocab made purely of grunts
Well sorry no more personals, my time is up
I give my word that I will do my best to keep up with it all from now on, anti-social me :shame:
Good to see you Jessie!
Brissy girls - What's happening wednesday????
Cobey has a mean "Mumma!" and is surprising me every day with what he can say and recognise. Today when I picked him up from daycare, one of the workers came in the room, he pointed and said "Deb!" (then told her off in his babbly way)
He smiled when he went to sleep tonight. I love that. I hope it means he'll be good for the night.
His teeth are giving him hell, he hasn't eaten much for the last few days *sigh*
Mariposa
20-08-2007, 21:44
why dont men understand even the simplest things? :hair: *massive sigh*
welcome back ducky, nice to see you in here, glad your feeling better. Hows Miss M and master J?
Jayney, sorry to hear that you are all still unwell. These bugs that are getting around are driving everyone up the wall, and begging for summer. My sister just turned 38 in May - so quite young to have a couple of heart attacks.
Karrie, any of those dates are good for me. I hope you definitely do come.
Mich, hope you get lots back with you tax. We havent even done ours yet. We sent the books (from when we had our business) to the accountants a few weeks ago, but I havent had a chance to get all my stuff together and actually phone them back for an appointment.
H - hows Mason going? dont you love it when men dont get it?
Bessie - the movies are expensive - i know. Hence we havent been in ages. Brianna has been, but I havent taken her since I was pregnant with miss guts.
Im up for the meet on Wed, just pending on miss Lina who still has her cough and a slight runny nose. Am going to get her checked out a work tomorrow.
Hi everyone
Hi all
A quick one from me - work tomorrow and a bit late here as I felt the need to mop the floors - to help out DH really as he's really going through a rough patch while figuring out this "I really need to talk to someone, but don't want to admit to issues" time in his life. He feels so much better if the house is clean, so it's my treat to him - when he wakes up and sees the fairies visited :laughing: . Will post properly about where it's at tomorrow. Will just say for now that I said to him today that his biggest issue is that no matter what he'll never be able to make his ex pay for what she's done to him and that's why he finds lots of things so difficult - the fact that he won't be able to put it to rest until he can accept the one person he wants to hit out at he can't.
Anyway - Jayney -you definitely made an impression on me when we met - a positive one - you gorgeous mumma! Sorry - when doing personals, i miss people
As for kindy - I went to the school last week we'll be enrolling A into next year and met with the principal - looks great, but have to put our paperwork in.
Night all - more tomorrow.:wave:
Good morning
Brissie girls, who wants to go to Scallywags tomorrow or you can come to my place? Let me know and we can get something organised.
MD, great to hear from you, glad you are getting better. How is that little bun you are cooking going, cant wait to see your little belly now.
Well my boys went to bed way to early last night and now they have been up 5am :sleeping: I need another coffee, be back later.

Morning ladies!
The lovely MD!! Great to hear from you. I hope you're feeling better soon.
Not much to say since last night. Running a bit late with our plan for today (bit of a tight ship here at the moment:laughing:) but should be on top of everything by the time little one wakes which means we might get some relaxing time together this arvo. :fingerscrossed:
Pegs, Sending good vibes your way. It took my DH ages to agree to counselling, best thing he ever did.
Will see how things go, might bbl xxx

morning gorgeous mummas, xxoo.
Angel is talking so much more now, some you can understand and some you can't. she has started talking to her dolls and trying to give the cartoon character on the tv her blocks HAHAHA!!! she says please alot now, especially if she wants something she can't have. have been thinking of starting toilet training soon to see how she goes. she is also walking EVERYWHERE!!! and does it quite a bit, she really likes it. we bought her new bed - disney princess toddler bed - i have set it up in her room and i'm starting to make her room more girlie - who knows when it will be painted!!
I think will be either Thursday the 25th/Friday 26th October or Monday 29th/Tuesday 30th.... so let me know guys wahts better...
i word mondays so that's the only day i would be out.
Hey ladies,
Remember me?
The boys are still sick and so am I. Tommy was in our bed all night last night.
Has anyone booked their bubbas into kindy?
hi gorgoeus mumma :hugs: we could never forget you, xxoo.
i'm so sorry to hear that you are still sick, i hope you are all better soon, xxoo.
when are we meant to put our bubbas into kindy and enrol them?? is there a big waiting list?? what age do they go to kindy??
Sorry I have been missing in action! I was so ill that I couldn't even get up, let alone log on. Just got back from MIL and FIL's where I spent a couple of days.
hello gorgeous mumma :hugs: we were all wondering where you were, xxoo.
i hope you are better also, xxoo.
how's the preg going?? how far along now??
Brissy girls - What's happening wednesday????
His teeth are giving him hell, he hasn't eaten much for the last few days *sigh*
i don't know what's happening. i don't mind either way.
why dont men understand even the simplest things? *massive sigh*
so what's happened with cris?? you know you can tell us that's what we're here for. so where suits you and Nikki and the other southies to meet on wed??
A quick one from me - work tomorrow and a bit late here as I felt the need to mop the floors - to help out DH really as he's really going through a rough patch while figuring out this "I really need to talk to someone, but don't want to admit to issues" time in his life. He feels so much better if the house is clean, so it's my treat to him - when he wakes up and sees the fairies visited
huge :hugs: i hope your dh can come to terms with the fact that he does need to talk to someone and do something about it. it's very hard to put things behind you when you can't lash out at the person who has hurt you - i spose it's human nature - i know i can be like that. it's very hard to deal with and can take time to learn to cope with that. i hope that it starts sorting out soon for you, xxoo.
Brissie girls, who wants to go to Scallywags tomorrow or you can come to my place? Let me know and we can get something organised.
doesn't bother me - are you still at your mum and dads??

HI!
Nel, cute video! I don't know about the growth spurt thing. Mason seems to have weaned himself off another bottle so we now just have one bottle at bed time. I should start giving it to him in a cup but I just love that time together when it's just me and him cuddled up while he's drinking. I'm not ready to give that up yet.
Maria- did you work things out with Cris?
Kel- the bed sounds gorgeous, can you take a pic for us?
Hi to everyone else :wave:
I took Mason to music this morning, he had a great time as usual. He went straight to sleep as soon as we got home and after his lunch we are going to a friends place, she is helping me burn the slideshow I made of Mason's 1st year to DVD.
Hope you are all having a great day xoxo
My son is obsessed with shoes :hair: He's always liked playing with them but the last two days he'll go grab his sneakers then come park his bum on the couch after shoving said shoe into my hand then proceeds to yell TA TA TA until I put his shoe on for him.. Then he runs off down the hallway to his room, pulls his shoe off and comes running back to do it all over again :laughing:

hehe, i'm the same with Angel. i was told at her 12mth chn visit that i should get rid of her bottles but she only has 1 bottle when she gets up and 1 bottle before she goes to bed so i don't see the problem with her still having those and i don't wanna give up those cuddles either now that i don't cuddle her to sleep anymore :hugs:
i will take a pic once i have the mattress and it's set up properly :yes:
hehe, i love to hear about Mason's music class, i wish i knew where one was for Angel. have a good day with your friend.

huge :hugs: gorgeous mumma. you are doing such a great job. dont underestimate yourself and your coping abilities. remember that you are trying to come off your medication so maybe it si getting to you more than usual?? think positive, i know it can be hard, maybe put on some relazation music?? it may even help to calm Chloe. you're such a great mum and you know that you can do this. have you changed her diet at all?? is she teething?? when it gets too much, jsut put her in her cot, walk out and go where you can't hear her. stay away for 10-15mins so you can clear your head :kiss:
Aimz, :hugs: Have you taken Chloe to the docs just to make sure there is nothing wrong with her like an ear infection or something? Maybe she has more teeth coming through. You are NOT a useless mother, you are the best mother Chloe could ask for. :hugs:
Brissie girls, looks like(location removed) it is, i will pm everyone now.
:banghead: HE :banghead: WONT:banghead: SLEEP!!:banghead: ARGHHH
lol little turkey has been up half the night but do you think he'll sleep today....
Hi ladies...
Hugs to all those going through a rough trot....
Am loving this PT work business.... P has been such a good kid lately too... getting back to her happy self which is great.... had her needles yday and she was such a trooper, barely cried at all!
Have figured out that she is lactose intolerant... whether she always has been or whether its due to the gastro remains to be seen.... so its off to get some lactose free formula and soy milk today.... she's been on novalac diorhhea for the last week to try and get things back to normal and seems to work a treat... when I tried reintroducing the normal formula it all went haywire again, so at least we found the culprit which is a good thing!
Since having her middle ear infection treated she is coming ahead very quickly with speech... and is finally close to walking.... she's standing without holding everywhere is just a bit chicken to actually take the steps.... it'll come soon though....
Aimz - you are a great mum.... if you can't pin point what it is, might be worth a trip to get her checked out...
Nel - hope Kai has a nap for you soon...
MD - great to "see" you....
Mich - sounds like things are full steam ahead for you guys...
Hi to everyone else...:wave: ..... must go pack for training tonight, looks like rain... DOH!!
Loving Leyla
21-08-2007, 14:29
Hi everyone :wave:
Sorry i havn't been on here too much lately I came down with tonsilitis/flu sunday night.
I had the worst two days ever, feeling a bit better now but my throat still hurts.
Leyla is alot better tho her infection has cleared up, shes just teething really bad now.
Wow Iv'e got so much to catch up on :eek: i will do soon. Thanks so much for all of ur kind words of encouragement on me moving on.
I sent suat an email two days ago telling him that im moving on, i just thought to myself how long can u wait for someone who is not even there for u in the first place? So he was online last night and didn't even chat to me or send me an email, it just shows me how much he really cares about me and leyla. I dont care that he is not speaking to me but it makes me so angry that he can't even ask how leyla is :(
I feel really good tho about things, I feel like the biggest thing bogging me down has been lifted off my shoulders, and for the first time in almost 2 years im happy again.
I hope everyone is happy and well :hugs: I will catch up with everything very soon, bye for now xx
Love the quote Haylie.
I think kindy is for when they are three and my sister says I should have enquired ages ago as there are apparently huge waiting lists. Must find somewhere and pull my finger out.
Mel - is Nix sleeping any better?
Don't think its wise to come to a meet with us being all sick still. Would hate to pass it onto people.
Was just stirring you pegs. Isn't the rain great. Our tank is now full.
Oh Renee I have a gorgeous picture of your little girl if you want me to post it to you?

hi all. Im knackered. didnt end up getting to bed last night until almost midnight :o waiting to see if i won something on ebay (disgraceful i know) but i did win :D
the place is fine with me, but still not 100% sure if we are coming. Linas still got her cough (no temp or anything though) and a slight runny nose, so will see how she is in the morning. cris tried her on some more cows milk last night whilst i was at my work meeting, but i might hold off a bit more with it, as her kaka was quite pasty today :rolleyes: - Ninny girl!!!!!!
Tash, good on you for moving on.
nel, love the video, too cute
meh, cant remember what else.
Oh YES YES YES! sorry Lina slept last night!! she didnt even wake when i came home, but woke up 430 this morning, i fed her then she went back to sleep until 545.
bbs i smell something blerk

Maria - WOOHOO!!!! for Lina sleeping through!!! :smiliedance: i hope she keeps it up for you :fingerscrossed:
does anyone know whow much it will cost tomorrow??
Maria - are you still BF Lina?
Kel - I think it is - its this dreadful flu and they both have conjunctivitis.
Mel - did you decide to give Nix the formula 3 for toddlers. We tried the Vanilla S26 Todler Gold and both boys have spewed so I don't think its a good thing before bed as they are full of beans now.
What do you ladies give your bubbas before bed or am I Mumming the boys too much still?

Evening ladies.
wellity, i have been getting in trouble at other forums for 'advertising' so im back here with you lovely ladies! I have had a couple of enquieries (sp?) but thats about it so far.
not much new here at all.....
hi MD, glad your feeling better
maria - good to hear you got a good nights sleep, hope she keeps it up for you
jayney - hope you guys start to feel better soon - your such a trooper
mic - how good does it feel to get your tax done! i hate tax time
is anyone else ready to run away? C]
sending big :hugs: your way. maybe she's just having a bad week, hopefuly she will wake up tomorrow and be a little angel! :fingerscrossed:
[QUOTE=tashasa;1818489]
I feel really good tho about things, I feel like the biggest thing bogging me down has been lifted off my shoulders, and for the first time in almost 2 years im happy again. /QUOTE]
Good on you! you don't need anyone weighing you down when you have such a beautiful baby girl. im so glad that you are starting to feel some what back to normal. sending :hugs: across anyways
well i've hogged enough space already. might go stalk some pregnant women! lol ttfn :wave:
Tash - a hard thing but you are strong to move on maybe its a new beginning for you. Hopefully Suat will be a part of Leyla's upbringing. Thinking of you. You are in Adelaide right? My BIL and partner live in Norwood and are expecting their second child any moment now.
Anyone heard of Moonblossom lately or Lollie? Would love to meet you both. Lollie maybe we can exchange some twinseinne experiences?
Mel north coast sounds great - where abouts up there. I have a great Aunt and Uncle up at Caloundra so we go up their often so when you move we could catch up. Eumundi markets sound like a plan.
Ducky you have been quiet. Hope you enjoyed your stay with us. I think a meet in Murgon sounds great!
Night all.

Jayney, I give Mason a bottle before bed, if I was BF I'd be still happy to BF him before bed. I'm happy to do the bedtime bottle for awhile longer because it's the only milk drink he's having for the whole day (he has other dairy in the form on yoghurt & cheese etc) and it's special cuddle time for us. We never went to toddler formula, just to moo cow milk cause Mason never had any troubles with it.
:hugs: Hugs for you Aimee. Others suggested it also, maybe take Chloe to the Dr? I had a really bad week with Mason the one before last, assumed it was teething, I eventually took him to the Dr and turns out he had an ear infection and needed AB's so might be worth a trip even if it's just to put your mind at ease. I'm no help with the pnd but maybe you could mention that you feel if might be coming back a bit while you are there?
Tash- glad things are sorted in your mind as to where you stand with Suart. We are always here to chat if you need to.
Maria- yay on Lina sleeping through! That must feel great!
Kaz- glad the new work schedule is working for you and that Pip is much happier.
Nel- did Kai eventually get to sleep?
Kel- can't wait to see the princess bed! Are you painting her room pink? I'm so excited to do up Mason's big boy room. We already have a single bed with the book case bed head and I'm thinking of sanding it back and painting it white because I want white furniture in his new room. I figure it's easier to match white furniture whereas all different stains of timber can look a bit too mix-and-match for my liking! (I'm a bit of a perfectionist LOL). Am hopefully taking a trip to Ikea towards the end of the year to look for accessories for his room, they have some really cute things.
Hi again,
Just me for something different. Are my boys the only ones who don't know what sleep is. They seem to take turns - one night one is good and the next the other plays up. No more bubbas for us after this experience. Mind u we wouldn't trade them in or do anytbing different.

Just a quickie, hopefully be back after updating my blog (for you modern cloth mummas, check it out tomorrow)...
Jayney - my boys don't know what sleep is either! It's tough... but like you I wouldn't swap it for the world. Am even crazy enough to be contemplating a third!!
Think I'm finally gettting AF back have been having the worse ov pains all day today and yesterday... oh well, suppose I'm lucky to have been without it for so long.
BBL (hopefully)!

Think I'm finally gettting AF back have been having the worse ov pains all day today and yesterday... oh well, suppose I'm lucky to have been without it for so long.
I was thinking this today also, my tum hasnt been too good today.
Jayney, yes still b/f the guts - at times she still thinks she is a newborn :rolleyes: And last night was definitely a rare occurance here, lina normally wakes quite a few times each night, and on the waking up department so does natty! (sigh)
Ive just gone back and deleted the location details ladies. Hopefully we are coming tomorrow.
But I cant believe how much it is raining here atm, and the windy is ghastly! im freezing
Jayney... I'm just changing P from 3 bottles a day to 2 now... so I def don't think you are babying them too much..... next step for us is to change the morning bottle to a cup..... one step at time... she is now on lactose free formula... but will move to soy milk eventually.....
Have a good day tomorrow Brissy girls!
Tash - great to hear your feeling good.... thats the first indicator that you've done the right thing for you and your gorgeous little girl....

:wave:
Oh Renee I have a gorgeous picture of your little girl if you want me to post it to you?
That would be lovely thanks PJ, or I could pop round sometime to pick it up? Or you could pop over here???
B is still on four or five bottles a day, but is on the toddler formula after the NAN, I think it's called Neslac or something??? They only have directions to make it up to 140ml, so each bottle is about that. Thinking of making it up in a big jug then just putting it into a cup and warming it up that way, but I love the whole 5 mins of cuddles I get with each bottle...then away she runs! :rolleyes:
Don't think we'll be coming tomorrow. I'm feeling very tired lately (and yet I'm up at this ungodly hour) I think I need more iron...
Settlement one the house was yesterday, so that's all over and done with, but instead of transferring the money, they gave us a cheque instead (nuisance Rob forgot to call to arrange transfer until Friday arvo and it was to late to arrange it then :banghead:) So now I can't pick my car up until Thursday morning. Oh well, I guess it's a good exercise in patience...
If anyone wants to meet up again soon, I'm keen!
Nighty night!
Have figured out that she is lactose intolerant... whether she always has been or whether its due to the gastro remains to be seen.... so its off to get some lactose free formula and soy milk today.... she's been on novalac diorhhea for the last week to try and get things back to normal and seems to work a treat... when I tried reintroducing the normal formula it all went haywire again, so at least we found the culprit which is a good thing!
I still haven't given K cow's milk as pretty sure her lactose intolerance is a carryover from her gastro from a couple of months back. Since stopping cheese and switching to lactose free yoghurt, she seems to have less issues with stinky very soft poos. The change was really only after her gastro. I monitor her by her nappies and decided to put her back onto acidophilus - hoping to help her stomach along in developing. I took her off it as I got something out of the fridge and knocked the bottle out and it smashed everywhere. Being $20 a bottle, didn't replace for a bit and she seemed to have some probs again. Will try a bit longer with the acidophilus before trying cows products again.
Hi I sent suat an email two days ago telling him that im moving on, i just thought to myself how long can u wait for someone who is not even there for u in the first place? So he was online last night and didn't even chat to me or send me an email, it just shows me how much he really cares about me and leyla. I dont care that he is not speaking to me but it makes me so angry that he can't even ask how leyla is :(
I feel really good tho about things, I feel like the biggest thing bogging me down has been lifted off my shoulders, and for the first time in almost 2 years im happy again.
Glad to hear your weight has been lifting off your shoulders. :hugs: For you Tash - it must be difficult time and a hard thing to come to terms with no matter how obvious he's now making his intentions.
Was just stirring you pegs. Isn't the rain great. Our tank is now full.
All good - I know you were just stirring - just have to say - pfft to the :rain: - not into it - I'm more a sunny weather type of gal. Mind you - living in a major catchment area for a major dam - the one that services all of eastern Western Australia and having lived a fair bit in drought ridden farming country, I know the rain is much needed, so do embrace it somewhat.
Thanks for all your good thoughts ladies. Yeah - today DH said that he won't let ex win (in controlling his moods etc). He has made some decisions to "get his kids back" - figuratively, not literally - means he wants to rebuild his relationships with them. I've told him he still needs to talk to somebody, but apparently I've broken through to him that this has been a major thing for him.
MD - glad to hear you're feeling better - hope things continue to do so for you.
Sleep - I was asked by daycare today how I get K to sleep. Still cuddle her. They are very much a gentle daycare, but said it took 2people an hour to do it today and it's hard for them. I said that I'll see how she goes over the next week - no more daycare till next Monday, but she's been irritable and not sleeping properly for a few weeks - up over night a few times each night too - so I told them it's not normal and will continue to cuddle her to sleep till she sorts herself out better.
Can't think of anything else at the moment - always too much to catch up with when I've been at work - hpoefully I'll be better at personals tomorrow.
Love to all. xx
Mel - did you decide to give Nix the formula 3 for toddlers. We tried the Vanilla S26 Todler Gold
I did try the same formula, but he wouldn't drink it so i then tried cows milk and he seemed to like that better even tho it was only a mouth full.
Mel north coast sounds great - where abouts up there.
I think it will be around the Caloundra area. We are having lunch with one of the bosses from this other company on sunday so hopefully we will find out a bit more about what is going on.
Just me for something different. Are my boys the only ones who don't know what sleep is.
No, Nix still doesn't sleep through. On a good night he will wake up once around 2am but on a bad night, it can be 4-5 times a night.
He has made some decisions to "get his kids back" - figuratively, not literally - means he wants to rebuild his relationships with them.
That is great news, well done. I am sure the step kids are going to love having their 'dad' back. I hope you can get K's tummy sorted out soon.
Tash, good on you for making the decision to move on :hugs:
Brissie girls i know it is a bit late but i was just thinkng maybe it would be better to have it at someones house, with all this rain i think the play centre might be packed.
Bodhi woke up coughing again so he came into our bed but he was wide away so we have just had a nice warm milk each, be back in bed soon. Bodhi has a follow up appointment on friday from his OP, he has a hearing test aswell so :fingerscrossed: it all goes well. I know he is hearing alot more then what he used but i am just not sure if he is hearing 100%
I can't believe how much rain we have had, it is so good to see as we need it so badly, but i just wish it was a little bit warmer.

Ducky you have been quiet. Hope you enjoyed your stay with us. I think a meet in Murgon sounds great!
i'll be in for that one!!
Kel- can't wait to see the princess bed! Are you painting her room pink?

Kel - I must of missed one of your posts have you got Angel a bed and is she sleeping in it already as I think we will be getting the boys a bed each soon
yeah we have bought her bed and i got her mattress yesterday so i am gonna start trying her day sleeps in there and see how she goes, then i'll switch her full-time if it goes ok!!

Brissie girls i know it is a bit late but i was just thinkng maybe it would be better to have it at someones house, with all this rain i think the play centre might be packed.

i could have it here but i haven't done any cleaning :shame: i just really hate it. the area where the bubbas crawl/walk round is pretty good though, hehe. so yeah, just let me know where you want it.
i hope it all goes well for Bodhi's appt *hugs*

We wont be making today, we had very little sleep last night, and lina has runny kaka. but also im feeling like utter ****. I feel like :barf: bigtime, and my tummy just feels blah. had a bit of a fever last night, shivery with goosebumps all over. I dont even have the energy to take brianna to school let alone to look after the girls, cris sid he is going to try and come home way earlier than normal, so hopefully he can pick up brianna this afternoon.
sorry to be a piker again, but I just cant do it. Hope you's have fun.
Better go, time to take brianna to school need to pack her bag.
:hugs: sorry you're sick Maria :(

Hello:wave:
Not much to say..... (this would be when I'd normally not even pop on, but trying to keep up:cool:)
Luci has a green snotty nose again.... when will it end? Mine is almost gone.
Maria, hope you're feeling better soon. It's soo horrid when us Mummy's are sick.
Pegs, great news about DH's decision.
Jayney, I always offer Luci the boob or a bottle of cows milk before bed. She doesn't always want it but.... AND I still give her the cow's milk in a bottle just because I like it. She drinks her water from a straw or cup....
As for kindy... nope we haven't done anything yet and won't for some time. DH will be placed somewhere in NSW and we won't know where till at least the end of next year....
Kel, Angel's room sounds beautiful, can't wait to see pictures of the finished product!
Nay, Hope you get your car soon.
Rach, be nice if AF would stay away for you... just about to go and check out your blog!
Shea, I hope you find some people soon. I know that if I was preg now I'd be booking you in.
Can't remember any more....:gloomy:
Have a good day

Tash - a hard thing but you are strong to move on maybe its a new beginning for you. Hopefully Suat will be a part of Leyla's upbringing. Thinking of you. You are in Adelaide right? My BIL and partner live in Norwood and are expecting their second child any moment now.
.
Hey Jayney, thanks for your comments. I still would like suat to be apart of her life, but he hasn't even bothered to ask me how she is.
I live about 10 mins away from ur BIL at Newton. Wow congrats for your BIL and partner expecting very soon, how exciting!
Hope you get better soon Maria :hugs: sounds like wat i came down with, it's horrible!
Okay just got leyla to sleep after much whinging and crying beta take her to bed.
(Im going see if she will sleep in her cott soon but wont hold my breath) Have a nice day everyone xx
hi Ladies
sorry for my "me me me" post yesterday - my beautiful husband bought me some flowers, walked in the door picked chloe up and said you say sorry to mummy :)
he got a dose of it too, i was trying to catch up on all my tax stuff and Chloe chucked the biggest tantrum - her head was sweating tears streaming down her face, and we decided to just let her go for gold then i spoke to her quietly and said if you want a cuddle you be nice to mummy and daddy haha - she was nice and got her cuddle!!!
im pretty sure its teeth she has had 5 come through in the past month and both eye teeth are pretty much through - i tell ya after worrying that she was getting them so late i wish they would just stay away!!!
Tash - im glad that you have made a decision, and you know if Suat did start making the effort then theres always that option, but at least you now have some closure!!! it seems like he hasn't grown up however we all know parenthood doesnt allow for immaturity (you know what i mean)
Kaz - good news on the P/T work!! how great is that - i love my 2 days a week at the council, even though i moan and moan about it (thats management though not the job) the lady i work with is just such a sweetie, and like my second mum!! we have so much fun together....
Jayney - i feel for you - is there any possibility of separate bedrooms or would that make it worse?? have you and dh had a break overnight for "you" time - i tell you what though you are coping so well!!!!
Maria - hope you feel better soon!!!
Pegs - im glad your DH has starting putting some practices into place.... it must be hard - my girlfriend has a one month old plus a 5 year old step son that they have just got sole custody of however the mum is toxic, and i have seen all the hardships they have gone through.... :hugs:
Hayley - thanks for your words! i'm so excited to meet your friend! she sounds lovely!! i am absolutely loving doing Baby Beehinds i am learning so much and its something im passionate about.....
Kel - wow Angel going into a big bed already - im not sure when we will do that for Chloe, i am like Hayley, Chloes room is pure white, however the plan is (i am so sad) to buy Chloe a matching bedroom suite and then use her stuff for the new bubba (no im not pregnant, haha the rate im going i will be 50 before im ready)

So only quick - I am determined to keep up a bit this time
Tash - really sorry to hear that you are going through this stuff. You sound like you are handling it perfectly but it must be really awful to be going through.
Lucky for you - You have us!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aimz - hope you are OK - and if any help, yep I get shocking sessions of what you are describing (sort of the same anyway) - the good news is IT WILL PASS
Jayney - Jake gets a bottle before bed every night, around 220mls cows milk and one in the night if he wakes, around 100mls
chow meow - oh Jayney, you really MUST get out more lovely!!!!!! *snigger snigger*
SO much I wanted to say but gotta run
I am going to try and get on live chat tonight
:fingerscrossed: around 9pm - would love to be able to actually chat to some of you!
Bye for now

What do you ladies give your bubbas before bed or am I Mumming the boys too much still?
Kai still has several bottles a day/night too, including his bedtime bottle.. We tried him on the s26 gold Vanilla stuff and he ended up either throwing it up or with major stomach pain then he just flat out refused it for 2 days. So I went back to the Heinz Nurture 3.
Nel- did Kai eventually get to sleep?
After we got back from picking Zac up he finally crashed out for about an hour at 4pm :rolleyes:
Hi again,
Just me for something different. Are my boys the only ones who don't know what sleep is. They seem to take turns - one night one is good and the next the other plays up. No more bubbas for us after this experience. Mind u we wouldn't trade them in or do anytbing different.
No my little man doesn't understand the concept of sleep either! We're still getting up about 4+ times a night :sleeping:
Maria - hope your feeling better soon!
Got Kai booked in for his needles this morning, gotta get them in before he gets sick again lol. Then we're off to look at the pixi photo's I got done of the boys, hopefully I can get at least 1 decent one of them to frame and put up in the loungeroom lol.
Better go finish getting ready.
:hugs: to all
Quickie for now - only turned on the computer to check something for banking, and couldn't resist;)
Aimz - sorry - meant to add you to my post yesterday - glad to hear you got a bunch of flowers and the world is looking better.
mich - pooey to green snot. K's got a runny nose again, but at least it's only a touch yellow and mostly clear this time - don't we love our snot and poo talks here?????
Okay - will be back later - will try to get onto live at 7my time to catch up - but usually have to wait for kids in bed, which is after 7.30/8 each night - haven't been on live for a very long time.
sorry for my "me me me" post yesterday - my beautiful husband bought me some flowers, walked in the door picked chloe up and said you say sorry to mummy
Aww how lovely is he!! Hope her teeth stop bugging her soon, poor little thing.

Zac was in a proper bed by his 1st birthday. I had to lie with him til he went to sleep or he'd just keep getting up but there was no point putting him in the cot coz the little monkey boy was climbing out of it by 10mnths old :banghead:

22-08-2007, 09:12
Hey Aimz, I forgot to reply to ur post, im having the exact same problem with leyla. She has 5 teeth comming threw and has been non stop whingy and clingy for 3 days now. And because im sick and stressed at the moment my tolerence is low, i neva get angry at her coz i know it's not her fault but omg how i would love to get away somedays.
What u said is so true, suat i think has never grown up, his too stuck in his traditional ways. If u cannot even communicate with the person how r u ment to live a long happy life together.
Don't feel bad about that post u wrote, we all have those days were u just wana get something of ur cheast. And i think we all know how frustrating things can get, but were all here to listen and offer advice, never feel bad hun :hugs:
Hey kel, thanks yeah i like my new sig too, in my eyes he is not a proud parent he has not offered me any support of any kind. Yeah leyla co-sleeps with me, im hoping it's not too late to try to get her to sleep in the cott? Im just going to see what happends anyway. (U might even here her cry from where u are when i do lol) I hope Angel is doing well :yes: xx
Hey ducky, i just finished writting a pm to u then my net went down lol. Im not sure if u will still get it or not, let me know k :hugs: xx

Hi ladies,
Hugs to all the sick mums and bubs :hugs:
Good to hear from you again Ducky. I might try to get into chat tonight, see how I am feeling.
Kel, Angels room will be so pretty. Mason nursery is blue and his furniture stain is that nice dark Jarrah one so I can't wait to do the white furniture for his big room for a nice change.
UPDATE ON TTC-
I am currently 9/10 days past ovulation, had some spotting yesterday which I assumed to be implantation bleeding but have gotten up this morning and looks like AF is on her way :crying: Which means that my luteal phase (time between O and AF) is too short for a pregnancy to occur so I don't know what's going on there. I'm really upset today, looks like all hope is lost for this cycle so no May baby for us :crying: If this happens again next cycle I think I will go back to the Dr and see what he thinks. I am still clinging onto the hope that it is just implantation bleeding and it will stop but I think I am just clutching at straws. If it does happen to stop I will test probably Friday morning but I don't like my chances.
Sorry for the depressing post...
Mason is getting his hair cut again this afternoon :smiliedance: Had to cancel last week as the friend who does it had a sick little girl and I didn't want Mason catching anything.
Just popping in quickly to say we are alive, just majorly stressed about renovations etc. The rain is fantastic for everything but renovations!! :no:

I think there is something called vitex that can lengthen your luteal phase, not sure. Also heard green tea can help it as well.
Good luck with your next cycle!!

hi girls.
Am still feeling blerk, managed to get both natty and lina down for a sleep earlier, so i slept too. I am in dire need of a cup of coffee, but dont want to risk it after puking this morning. Look absolutely ghastly too, - the pale look sooooooooo doesnt suit me.
Brissie gals i hope you are having fun, nikki, thanks for ringing me this morning. I feel like im never going to catch up with you all :thumbsdown:
Linas done a few icky kakas today, the smell has just about made me gag several times.
H _ big hugs to you lovely girl, Its a vicious cycle ttc when you want it to happen and it doesnt. if you want to chat, pm me your phone number and i can give you a call.
Karrie, glad part time work is suiting you and miss pip! well done on the almost walking!!!
Racheal, certainly isnt good weather for renovations. Cris will have a job this arvo, a couple of big palms have fallen in our pool, there is a house not far from us being renovated, and I seen them yesterday afternoon trying to stick heaps of tarpulin down.
ducky, lovely to see another post from you, I will be calling you when i feel less blerk!
Aimz, We will have to arrange a time for a meet also, so i can chat with you properly and meet little miss chloe. Nice of your dh to bring you home flowers.
Cris and i chatted last night, sorted out a couple of things from our arguement, i can tell you all now (though i wasnt going to as it makes me childish:o ) that he made me so angry on monday morning that i ended up throwing my toast at him :laughing: so he had strawberry jam smeared across a cheek.
I will try also to get on to chat tonight, pending how feeling, if i do though it wont be until 930.
anyhoos, raved on enough for now. bbl

Hi ladies,
not much new here, my shirts are ready to be picked up with my business logo on them, so thats about it really.
UPDATE ON TTC-
I think I will go back to the Dr and see what he thinks. I am still clinging onto the hope that it is just implantation bleeding and it will stop but I think I am just clutching at straws. If it does happen to stop I will test probably Friday morning but I don't like my chances.
Big :hugs: so sorry to hear you are feeling so down about it. you know what? when dh and i were trying to connor we never feel pregnant. then, when we stop and said if it happens it happens - it happened. now me and dh are just doing the deed every second night. i'll let you know if it works this month!
the pale look sooooooooo doesnt suit me.
he made me so angry on monday morning that i ended up throwing my toast at him :laughing: so he had strawberry jam smeared across a cheek.
HAHAHAHAHA!! made me laugh. what did he do? tim would have stood there and probably just eaten it!
well thats it. ttfn :wave:

brissy girls thanks so much for today, i had a great time. we forgot to take photos, but i must admit it is getting harder now that they all move around so much!!
Am at work too .....ttttttuttttt!
:hugs: hey gorgeous ducky, nice to see you again, xxoo.
No my little man doesn't understand the concept of sleep either! We're still getting up about 4+ times a night
Got Kai booked in for his needles this morning, gotta get them in before he gets sick again lol. Then we're off to look at the pixi photo's I got done of the boys, hopefully I can get at least 1 decent one of them to frame and put up in the loungeroom lol.
you do so well with having next to no sleep :hugs: you never let us know how little sleep you get, big huge hugs and kisses to you, xxoo.
how did his needles go?? i hope you can get a nice piccy.
how have you been feeling lately?? how's your back?? is everything getting sorted with Zac and Mark??
Zac was in a proper bed by his 1st birthday. I had to lie with him til he went to sleep or he'd just keep getting up but there was no point putting him in the cot coz the little monkey boy was climbing out of it by 10mnths old
Angel doesn't climb, although i'm thinking i might have that prob with her in this bed cause it's so low to the ground!! i hope it isn't too frustrating cause if it is i'll get the sh!ts and put her back into her cot HEHEHE!!!
Yeah leyla co-sleeps with me, im hoping it's not too late to try to get her to sleep in the cott?
if you rock Leyla to sleep the first few times and put her in her cot then she shld be ok. then just graduate to putting her in there for her sleeps so that she goes off by herself :hugs: i hope it is easy for you, xxoo.
Kel, Angels room will be so pretty. Mason nursery is blue and his furniture stain is that nice dark Jarrah one so I can't wait to do the white furniture for his big room for a nice change.
UPDATE ON TTC-
it will be pretty and the more i think about it the more i want to get SOMEONE ELSE to do the painting. Ady's cousin is a painter so maybe he'll do it for us a bit cheaper!!! Mason's room sounds awesome, i wld love to see piccies when it's done!!
Just popping in quickly to say we are alive, just majorly stressed about renovations etc. The rain is fantastic for everything but renovations!!
:hugs: i hope it isn't too bad for you. it hasn't really rained here to day but it is soooo windy, i think i'd get blown over if i went outside!!!!
Am still feeling blerk
Cris and i chatted last night, sorted out a couple of things from our arguement, i can tell you all now (though i wasnt going to as it makes me childish) that he made me so angry on monday morning that i ended up throwing my toast at him so he had strawberry jam smeared across a cheek.
*huge hugs & kisses and lotsa love to you* i hope it isn't something that lasts too long, xxoo.
ROFLMAO!!!!! that is so funny, i would do something like that!!! he musta made you mad though!! i'm gld you got some things sorted out, xxoo.

Maria - hahaha, I too wish I had the gutst to do that sometimes. Craig is NOT good to fight with, he's one of those ALWAYS wins types...
We've been having some issues lately with me spending too much time on the comptuer (bubhub, book, blog, writing, committee stuff) and then me feeling like he isn't being very loving. We discussed it last night and it's all related.
Anyway my boys are at daycare now, so I better make the most of this time to write my articles that are due soon.
BBL maybe

I guess I work on the theory that whinging about having no sleep isn't going to get me any so whats the point LOL..
His needles went ok, poor little man. I thought it was bad when they got them in the legs but it was horrible holding him while she did the two in his arms.. He seems fine now though, he's burst into tears twice though for no reason so he's obviously feeling a little yukky.
I've been good, taking it easy again after my back was sore the other week.. Zac and Mark are going ok, Marks still trying so will give him credit for that.
Here's the free photo (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/Mystik/MyBoys.jpg) I got today and I'm picking up two more next week, single ones of the boys. They came out really nice!
The bottom of this pic didnt fit in the scanner lol.. In the proper pic they have their arms round each other.
Anywho gotta put the boy down for a sleep.
:hugs: to all

when Angel got her last needles they put them all in her legs again :confused: did anyone else get it done this way?? what if they've done it wrong??
loved the piccy - it's gorgeous :hugs:
Rach - huge :hugs: to you. i hope you and dh are going to be ok and can work things out :kiss:
At first the nurse said they'd do one in each leg and one in his arm then she reread it and said nope one in each arm and one in his leg.. I've found WA tend to do things differently.. You guys had 1 more needle than us last time if I remember correctly.
when Angel got her last needles they put them all in her legs again
Nix got 2 in one leg and 1 in the other leg, but i remember when Bodhi got his 12 mths needles, he got them in his arms and the poor thing screamed as he only had really thin arms.
Kel Thanks for today, it was great to catch up with you again, thanks for putting up with my crazy tribe.
Seek, it was great to see you and Cobes again, i can't believe how big Cobey is now.
Maria, i hope you are feeling better soon. You crack me up girl :laughing: Glad to hear you guys have sorted things out. Making up is always the best bit ;)
Nel, the photo looks great, Zac looks so grown up and Kai is looking more and more like you. I love getting the boys photo's done, great memories.
I took Bodhi to the doctors this morning as he has had a cough for about 4 - 5 weeks now and he just can't seem to shake it anyway it turns out it is asthma so he is having the puffer now aswell. He also woke up this morning complaining that his ear was hurting, so the doc checked it out as well and it turns out one on the grommets is blocks and now he has an ear infection. He thinks it is wax that is blocking it. We have a hospital appointment on Friday so i suppose they will try to unblock it. He is also suppose to have a hearing test but they can't do it if they had ear infections, so don't know what is going to happen now. I thought something was wrong cause the last couple of days he hasn't been hearing as well as he normally does.
I was saying to my grandma that just looking at the size of the needle had me freaking that it would come out the other side of his arm, they're huge!!
Aww I love hearing that Kai looks like me :p (Kel or someone else said it the other day too) coz all his life everyones commented on how he looks 'just like his daddy' LOL..
Mell I hope Bodhi is feeling better soon. I found a huge improvement in Zac's health after his asthma was finally diagnosed (at 2yrs old) and he was on the right meds :) Hope his ear infections clears up soon too, poor little man.

Good lord I had a huge amount of personals but now I've forgotten it all :laughing:
Cobey's been a right pain in the backside all afternoon, can't wait for his bed time :p
DH will be placed somewhere in NSW and we won't know where till at least the end of next year....
Oooohhh it'd be lovely if it was somewhere up this way Mich....
when Angel got her last needles they put them all in her legs again :confused: did anyone else get it done this way?? what if they've done it wrong??
P's were all in her legs, but its usually much of a muchness, as long as they go into muscle its all good...
Miss P only had 20mins sleep at daycare and has fallen asleep in her high chair.... so cute!
Aimz - how lovely of your DH with the flowers....
Well this naughty mummy is heading out on the turps this weekend for a 21st, then next weekend is our grand final weekend then the fri after is our presentation black tie ball all you can drink affair..... oh deary me..... :p Thank goodness I am only working three day weeks is all I can say.....
Really need to get this darn monkey off my back.... its getting ever so close to being 2 years since I last saw Ronny Coote (one for you Jayney ;) ).... and I'm getting ever so slightly antsy pantsy.... :laughing: Oh I crack myself up sometimes.....
Hoping all the sick mummas and bubbas are on the mend soon.... we are finally starting to look healthy at this end.... hopefully it stays that way....

Good morning
Kaz, glad everything is going well, and you are sounding so much more happier. Wow, sounds like you have a few good weeks coming up. Good on you.
We had an ok night, Bodhi came into out bed around mid night, then Nix woke up about 3am, 4 in a queens size bed is not much fun. I NEED A KING SIZE BED.
I can't believe it is still raining, it is so good as we need it, but i don't know how much longer i can keep Bodhi locked up inside for without him drive me crazy, he NEEDS to be outside as he is so active. If it was a little bit warmer and if he was well, i would let him run around in the rain but i don't want him to get any sicker. All the play centers will be packed with kids so i am staying away from them, oh well, we will just have to do some crafts today, he loves crafts. If anyone has any idea's on something that we can make for fathers day, please share. Since he isn't at kindy anymore, he won't get to make anything for Sean, so we will have to do it at home.

:hugs: hoope you can get a sleep today sometime - i would love a king size bed also just to have my own space :laughing:
the rain is good, but it gets a bit much after awhile. i know we need it, but a break for some sun would be nice.
i'm going to do a foot and hand print of Angel and put it in one of those shadow box photo frames for one of Ady's presents (if i ever get round to it). does anyone know what i should use?? i was gonna use paint but was wondering if there was anything else i could use?? that's about as creative as i get.
doesn't Bodhes go to kindy anymore?? i just thought he had Wednesdays off??
doesn't Bodhes go to kindy anymore?? i just thought he had Wednesdays off??
He only went mondays and tuesdays but I pulled him out the week we were suppose to move down the coast and i never worried aobut putting him back in. Plus the driving from Brighton to redcliffe was driving me nuts. I will wait till we move somewhere before i put him back into kindy.

Hope you can find the balance. We struggle for it here... so I can relate

What a beautiful photo! Definitely one for the wall!
when Angel got her last needles they put them all in her legs again :confused: did anyone else get it done this way??
Luci had one in each arm and one in her leg. I asked them about it as all the other times she's only had two, one in each leg. Apparently they change it at 12 months (something to do with them using their legs more...)
I took Bodhi to the doctors this morning
Let us know how everything goes on Friday at the drs. :fingerscrossed: It all works out and he has great results.
Cobey's been a right pain in the backside all afternoon, can't wait for his bed time
Was your Cobes talking to my Luci??.... :banghead: -this was me last night.....
Oooohhh it'd be lovely if it was somewhere up this way Mich....
That would be unreal..... I can't wait to find out....
Like all the gals have said, you sound great! Glad you've got some you time planned and that part time work is working!
If anyone has any idea's on something that we can make for fathers day, please share. Since he isn't at kindy anymore, he won't get to make anything for Sean, so we will have to do it at home.
Mell, I'm doing a few things... same pressie for DH, my Dad and FIL... A photo of Luci, a photo of Luci's hand and feet (I made prints with paint a few weeks ago and had DH scan them in etc) in a double frame. And we've bought these heart shaped papier mache boxes and plaster of paris to do hand and foot impressions for them!
Maria, how are you feeling?
Had a sucky day yesterday, feeling better today, but a little edgy. Will share later, but have heaps to do while she's asleep.
Hi to everyone I've missed. Hope everyone is well or getting better.

Just popping in quickly, I'm sooooo tired :sleeping: Had a real cr*p night with Kai, he woke up sobbing every 20-30 minutes from about 1am onwards. Not sure if it was teeth or coz of his needles yesterday, he seems happy as larry now though.. Little bugger doesn't even look tired.
:hugs: Mich, hope evrything is ok.

Kai seems overly sensitive today. It's not very often that he cries properly (tears and all kinda cry) unless he's really hurt himself but so ar today he's burst into tears about 5times for tiny little things.. So he's had some nurofen and some teething gel to cover both bases and see how we go.

Oh Kaz you really make me laugh. Love you sense of humour and I hope you meet up with old Ronnie soon.
The boys have had all their needles in their legs and the problem is one gets his done and the other is watching and knows whats about to happen.
Live Chat - not sure who was on their but my hubby had heaps of fun on their not sure what he said or if he was just trying to work it out. I had no idea what to do when I was getting the invites to join the chat. Perhaps he can show me tonight.
Mel we have a king size bed and believe me we still don't have enough room when the twins come in. If they both play up at night I end up in the spare bed with one and Jodi has the other in bed with him.
Nice photo Myz.
Got my new digital camera (SLR) today. Ducky I went with a pentax
afternoon lovelies
how dismal is this weather? i woke up about 5 times last night and thought that our carport had blown off, i am a sensitive sleeper too so when the rain peetered off and were left with the tink tink tink of the water inthe dog bowl i of course had to get up lol

Hi everyone! Just a quick post from me.
Kitchen renovations are going good, Eliana keeps getting into the cupboards as DH puts them together. I have some cute pics to post when I have time. Right now I've got to clean up mess from the renos!
I am sitting here typing away listening to Ernie singing on Sesame Street on ABC2. The boys are not even watching it. This is what I get up to through the day - watching sesame street and playschool. Boy of boy I do need to get out more - your right DUCKY!
Thanks Aimz thats really nice. My hubby (Jodi) and I get on really well and have heaps of fun - he is really good with the boys.
I am getting so fat - how depressing!
7 is the lucky number today on Sesame Street - this is what twins does to do - I am losing my mind

Oh dear, I feel like I've turned up reallllyyy late for a party here! I was just about caught up after conference then my superflu (that some ******* franchisee bought to conference and spread among us) turned into viral pharyngitis. Which is really just a fancy way of saying a throat infection with all the trimmings but antibiotics won't help it. So it's been like having the flu and tonsilitis at the same time but no drugs, hmpf. So my heart goes out to all the other sick mumma's Jayney, Jess, Tash, Maria and anyone else suffering. Not a fun club to be a part of...
Nix is well, thankfully her flu is on the out and she's still happily going to daycare which is helping me recover. Ironically she has been sleeping through nearly every night since she got the flu and I bought the vapouriser. I can't thank you ladies enough for the advice on that one! Even when we stopped using it, she has kept it up, so fingers crossed it's a habit now!
She is so overdue her needles with her flu's but the dr says I have to do them next week at the latest so we're booked in. Now she's older though I'm wondering if I could use those swabs you can buy from the chemist to numb the area? I want to get gav to design Nix's single bed for her, so lord knows how long that will take lol. Luckily her sleeping bag stops her from trying to get out of the cot herself. She's still on formula only cause I thought cows milk can make kids produce more mocus when they're fluey, but once she's all better I'm gunna switch her over. At the moment she's still on the stage 2 s26 and has 180ml in the morning 120ml at daycare and 180ml before bed.
Aimz - i think you're an ace mum and you juggle so much, you're allowed to feel overwhelmed once in a while! Just make sure you listen to your heart and if you think it could be pnd again, see your dr. How is chloe now? an angel again?
Nay - new car today? can't believe rob was such a bugger to you the other day, still the little boy at heart. If it's any reassurance, you know I didn't have a close relationship with my dad and I did the opposite to sleeping around lol! I think you were the same weren't you? I think a girls reaction to her family relationships depends on her personality, the example of the family she does have and other positive influences (like good schools, counsellors etc). You're doing all the right things and at the end of the day, like all the encouragement we gave tash, if rob drops out of b's life, she's unlikely to remember him from such a young age. And being such a hot mumma, you're bound to find love one day again anyway and your new man is bound to be a great father figure too.
Tash - i'm glad you're moving on, now you sound so happy. He knows where to find you if he grows up! Ahhh, why are all the pretty foreign men such boys at heart??! Hope leyla's feeling better
Shea - i'd have you as a doula Shea but I'm too far away! Do you have a mag like Melbourne Child up there? Or maybe try the local maternity hospital/antenatal classes? I read about one doula who had started a great class call beer and bubs and it was for dads so they could learn what to expect, what not to do and how to help. Maybe you could try a few group things to get your name out there?
Oh cr@p, I had a big post to do and lots of personals but my battery is about to go and i don't have my cord! So a big hi to everyone else :wave: and kisses to all the bubbas. Will try keep up with this new thread! xxx

Hello everyone!
Sorry another crazy week! I don't think I have been on here since this time last week :gloomy: . Life is so busy atm. I will try and catch up tonight.
Faith had her needles this morning.. she screamed poor darling, but seemed as happy as larry about 5 mins after. She is now asleep.. and I think I need to join her. I am soooo tired.
Great news! She walked about 8mtrs on Saturday night, but has only done little walks since. In fact if we ask her to walk she quickly sits on her bum and won't move :rolleyes: . Not sure if she fell over a few times while I was at work on Mon/Tues with her cousins, cause she flat out refuses to even hold my hand and walk around now. I will just give her some time and try again maybe this weekend. She was sooo proud of herself after she did the big walk, it was gorgeous!
Justin is away again with work from tomorrow.. god I am soooo tired, I would love to go away for a weekend and wine and dine clients! (gosh listen to poor lil old me!) Anyway with him away I will have nights to catch up on the hub :D . Its our wedding anniversary on Monday so we are going to Gold Class to see No Reservations.. hope it is good! Going to have a blood test on Saturday to see when I am ovulating.. hopefully not while DH is away! I really hope we fall, cause the tablets have been making me soooo nauseas. Oh well time will tell, I am trying to not get me hopes up each cycle.
How's everyone else going who is TTC? Any good news yet??
Sorry this is such a selfish post. Hope everyone is well. I will try to be back later, got to get some washing done while she is down.. worked 3 days this week, so the house looks like a bomb hit it!
Love to all xxxxx

Oh dear, I feel like I've turned up reallllyyy late for a party here! I was just about caught up after conference then my superflu (that some ******* franchisee bought to conference and spread among us) turned into viral pharyngitis.
HI!!! it's great to see you again. :hugs: i hope you get better soon and glad to hear Nix is enjoying her daycare. we miss you so hope to hear from you again soon.
Faith had her needles this morning.. she screamed poor darling, but seemed as happy as larry about 5 mins after. She is now asleep.. and I think I need to join her. I am soooo tired.
Great news! She walked about 8mtrs on Saturday night, but has only done little walks since.
How's everyone else going who is TTC? Any good news yet??
HI!!! great to hear from you again too. i had been wondering where you were. WELL DONE Miss Faith :yelclap: that's great news.
well, Ady wants to try and try and try this month because if we fall then the bub will be born in June like Angel and he said he really likes that idea!!! so apparently i'll be busy at night this month HEHEHEHE!!!

Hi everyone!!!
I have been reading, just not really replying to much but am thinking of you all.
Jac, Kel & Shea- :fingerscrossed: this is your month for :bfp: 's. Is it just us 4 who are TTC or have I missed someone else? Hard to keep up these days!! Paul & I had a chat about it this morning, we are going to try one more cycle and if the same problem happens again we are going to head off to the Dr just to see if everything is a-ok with us (mostly me). I'm hoping it is just that I might need to take something to lengthen my luteal phase. I don't want to sit around trying for 12 months before we go to the Dr when it might be something that is easily corrected iykwim.
Guess what? We have someone coming to look at our house tomorrow. :fingerscrossed: they put an offer in, although I'm not getting my hopes up too much because they are also looking at a few others. At least it's good to have some interest in the house, first time in months.
Hi to everyone else :wave:
p.s I want a king size bed too, that is on our (very long) list of things to buy when we build our new house.

hello again
I was just about caught up after conference then my superflu (that some ******* franchisee bought to conference and spread among us) turned into viral pharyngitis. Which is really just a fancy way of saying a throat infection with all the trimmings but antibiotics won't help it. So it's been like having the flu and tonsilitis at the same time but no drugs, hmpf.
Nix is well, thankfully her flu is on the out and she's still happily going to daycare which is helping me recover. Ironically she has been sleeping through nearly every night since she got the flu and I bought the vapouriser. I can't thank you ladies enough for the advice on that one! Even when we stopped using it, she has kept it up, so fingers crossed it's a habit now!
So great to hear from you again Kaz! Sorry to hear that you and lil Nix have been unwell, I hope you are both 100% again soon. How's your pg progressing.. are you showing yet? You'll have to post some piccys when you can.
I forgot to say in my post earlier, Mark came home with a present for me last night.... a pink fishing rod bless him..
Thats fabulous!! :laughing: Bet I know what you guys will be doing as soon as you get a spare Sunday and the tides are right ;)
HI!!! great to hear from you again too. i had been wondering where you were. WELL DONE Miss Faith that's great news.
Thanks Kell. Good luck with the Rompy pompy sessions. Hope you get a :bfp: ! If not straight away you'll definitely be getting a great workout!! lol!
Hi everyone!!!
I have been reading, just not really replying to much but am thinking of you all.
Jac, Kel & Shea- this is your month for 's. Is it just us 4 who are TTC or have I missed someone else?
Hi darl, I hope you fall soon. I would get to the doc and get things checked just in case. Justin and I tried naturally for 12mths, my gyno, did a internal ultrasound check my ovaries and said, don't waste any more time, she put me on the ovulation drugs (cause of my PCOS I don't ovulate very often) and we fell within 3mths. She said I could have been trying for years, cause you just can't pick when my egg will be release each cycle. its definitely worth getting checked out anyway. Let us know how you go. xx
Got my car today!!!
It's bewditful!
Also bought a new macbook and it's just bewdiful too!
Lucky gal!!!!! Lucky gal!!!
How's your sis going with her PCOS diagnosis? The best thing to do is get an internal ultrasound of the ovaries, as my blood tests came back normal, although I have a very bad case of PCOS!! I can give you the name of my GYNO if you want. She is one of the best in Brisbane and is also a fertility specialist. Just PM if you want it. xx
PJ great to hear from you. Hope the boys start sleeping through for you soon. Faith still has a bottle before going to be at night. 180mls. She has two other bottles during the day too. She is on the Pura Kids, omega 3 (cows milk) & loves it!
Hope you are feeling better tonight Maria??
Mell hope your lunch with Sean's new boss goes well on the weekend. How exciting!
Tash - happy to hear that u made a decision on your relationship. I am sure your future will be happy and bright, cause you are a gorgeous girl and wonderful mother:hugs: !
BBL ladies, dinner is ready!

Jac, she hasn't been off the pill for a month yet, prob about two weeks. Will get bloods done after that, but I'll mention the internl US, though she prob won't like the sound of that - I know I wouldn't :laughing:
But I think that once I've got stuff sorted for me, I'll get a test done, just to be on the safe side, cos I have a fair few of the symptoms as well, I recognised it in her - but not in me!!! Funny huh!
Should be getting my tatt tomorrow - please think of me NOT being in too much pain!
Kel, how long did your back tatt take?

23-08-2007, 18:22
hi ladies.
I feel blerk! i got seen by the dr today, she came to say hello to me in my little office and said that i looked "flushed" then went and got her thermometer and said Ive got a fever. Yes i already knew that, she told me to go home, but i had too much to do, and no-one else knows how to do my work (if i went nobody wouldve been paid!!!!)
Karen, lovely to hear from you again, glad you are feeling better, hows the pregnancy going?
quite a few ttcers now!! good luck to you all.
I want summer here!!!!! NOW!!!!as i keep saying and saying and saying, im over the cold and all these bugs and germs!!!

haha, washing is almost a daily occurance here (well was before the water restrictions) what do you expect with a house of girls? hmmm? they change their undies at least 3 times a day!!! (good hygeine though!)
for the broadbeans
chopped onion, potatoes, cooked them for a bit, then added the broadbeans (peeled first) and half a pkt of frozen peas, boiled for awhile.
then added them to long spaghetti :D
yummy....
bugger bbs, linas just awoken

23-08-2007, 19:31
did u put oil over it all before serving?
nope! the only oil used was to cook the onion and potato for a bit - and for the pasta so it doesnt stick.
let the water boil right down, so the mix thickens up, so juicy :D

Ok, stole gav's precious laptop while he's at work... can't seem to bring myself to go into the cold brrrr bedroom to use the main one!
Nay - we've got macs and from what i know the setting up of emails isn't hard, it's the bringing of your old pc data onto the mac that might be tricky. Did you get the apple help package? If you call that number they'll know how to do it. yay on the car!
Nel - a pink fishing rod, how adorable! have you got a pic? do you like fishing at all? summer'll be here before we know it
Kel - have you got a pic of the disney bedroom stuff? sounds cute!
Maria - hope you feel better soon hun... Wanna come do my washing too?
Kaz - I'm so glad you got your 3 days. I think 4 days is too much even (you can tell by the state of my house lol) let alone the 5 you were doing. Just doesn't leave enough time hey? Because i was off sick today i picked up nix early and we had such a nice play while dinner was cooking, made me realise how much i miss out on. Oh and yay for getting to know stevie, let us know how you get on
Pegs - good on your hubby, not an easy thing to come to terms with for a guy. hope it makes your life easier too! How's miss K now?
Haylie, Jac, Kel, Shea (& maybe Rach soon!!) - good luck with the ttcing, sending lots of baby dust & fun times trying your way :babydust2:
I can't remember all my personals so a big hello to everyone :wave:
lol, can't believe i forgot my preg in the other post! I've been quite worried this week and even went to the emergency room on the first sick day (before I knew what i had) because i'd been awake since midnight with a fever about 39 and thought the baby would overheat. Gav was at work and my darling sis came over at 5am to stay with nix while i got checked. Of course, silly me went to my maternity hospital so all the midwife did was check my temp, try to find the heartbeat (she couldn't but said it was only cause the baby was small) and send me home with some panadol! But I spoke to my ob later that day after i'd been to the gp and she said babies rarely overheat even when the mum has a temp as the uterus/placenta etc kept it all the right temp.
Actually, nay you're lucky, I nearly sent you a panic text at some ungodly hour when i at the hospy but i got a grip lol. Pregnancy brings out the hypochondriac in me. So, after this great week I'm now 4kg lighter than before i got preggars! This poor baby is either living on air or sucking the nutrients from my ample stores post Nixie...
I 'popped' at conference last week and officially cannot hold my tummy in any longer which is quite liberating. I feel like i look more pregnant now than just fat so that's nice! Now all I need is for the morning sickness to go away for good and i'll be happy... I think it's only back cause i'm not well, but when i'm needing food more than ever, it's frustrating to feel no appetite and queasy to boot!
Nah no pic of my rod yet, it's in the shed still in pieces lol.. Well it was last night, whether or not Mark decided to have a play with it I dunno.. I like fishing, once every few months lol.. I made a joke that he'd have to get me a pink one so I'd know it was mine (seeing as he has god knows how many and Zac already has 3 lol) but didnt actually expect it to happen.
That must've been scary for you when you went to the ER!! Glad everything was ok hun. I think pregnancy brings out the hypochondriac in everyone lol.

Hee hee! That would have been fun! Prob wouldn't have woke me up though...
Did I tell u all a funny story about when my sis slept over here a few weeks ago after she went to a friends' bday party???
She was supposed to call me so that I could buzz open the complex gate and then let her in. She rung me 22 times and ended up scaling the fence to get into the complex then throwing rocks at my bedroom window to try waking me!!!
Oh, and I sorted out the email stuff...rung my bro who has one too!

Evening:wave:
Karen, so good to hear from you!! I'd have been worried about overheating too. Glad to hear you're on the mend now.
TS, hope you get some sleep.
Nel, a pink fishing rod!!!! Sounds great!! When does Kai get his own one?... lol...
Shea, yay!! Hope she has her bub down your way! And that you find the other two births that you need.
Thanks for the hugs this morning gals.
Just feeling a bit flat and stressed out. DH wants so much of me at the moment. I understand this, he isn't going to have much of anything other than study, work and sleep with this course, but I'm struggling with that a bit.
Luci is really growing and because I'm stressed I haven't got my normal patience so I'm getting cranky with her. We've had heaps of rain here so we've been stuck indoors which never helps. Don't get me wrong, I love her to bits, but sometimes:banghead:.. I think I forget she's only 1...
Also, DH has found out that he doesn't get paid for his interships. He has three. The first he will take as holidays from work, the second he can stil work three days a week but the third he is doing the internship 5 days per week for the whole 4th term. So easy, I go back to work..... this in it's self isn't a problem, but I don't have any qualifications apart from my Dance diploma and there just isn't the work in the dance world to keep us a float.I do 100's of odd jobs now and pre-baby, but I need something a bit more stable, iykwim?...So I've been feeling like I'm useless and a dumbar$e... which doesn't help when everything I make or try and do with Luci she isn't interested in. (Not her fault, just her age and my silly sensitivity)
Sorry for my vent and hogging cyber space.
I'm heading off to bed now. I hope everyone is well and will hop on again tomorrow.
xxxx
P.S. Thanks to everyone for being such a huge support for me, don't know what I'd do without you xxxx

I meant to say earlier a big hello to Karen :wave: Good to hear from you again, wow what a scary time you must have had at the hospital. Glad that everything is going well for you now xoxo
Shea- YAY!! That is great news. Are you really excited? October isn't very far away!
Mich- huge :hugs: . That sucks that he doesn't get paid for the internships, I hope you are able to work out a more permanent job for yourself before then.
I am meant to be cleaning the house, I so can't be bothered. God I hope it sells tomorrow, I just want to get out of here and move on with building our new house. We decided not to rent it out (I forget if I ever told you all that) so we are just staying here until it sells.

23-08-2007, 21:22
wow mich, can understand you feeling stressed with all that! when is it that dh has to do his internship that's for the whole term? have you got long to plan for it?
Did I tell u all a funny story about when my sis slept over here a few weeks ago after she went to a friends' bday party???
:laughing: poor thing!!
Nel, a pink fishing rod!!!! Sounds great!! When does Kai get his own one?... lol...
Thanks for the hugs this morning gals.
Just feeling a bit flat and stressed out.
He was telling me about mini ones that would be perfect for DSS (3yrs old) and that he's got his eye on one for Kai LOL
:hugs: darlin, hope things settle down for you soon! Dont apologise for venting, we're here for support!
Yay! my stalking pregnant women worked! I should have one booked for mid oct. whoo hoo me! although.... she is in between here and bathurst until the birth - god hope she has the birth here!
:smiliedance: Woohooo!! Glad it's all falling into place for you Shea! I've bookmarked your site and keep checking to see if anything new is on there.
Well just put Kai down so :fingerscrossed: he has a better night tonight.. I'm overtired now which is just typical lol..

:devil6: I have a huge pile sitting on a chair, some stuff in the dryer waiting for room on the chair and some sitting soggy in the washing machine waiting for room in the drier.............oh yeah and MORE in the basket
So many people :hugs: :hugs:
Off to bed now before Mr sleepyhead (fell asleep on the way home from daycare) wakes up to make havock
:laughing: I have a washing chair too!! I've actually gotten down to half a washing basket full (thanks to 2 rain free days) which I'm pretty happy with. I'm still getting used to doing all the housework again after not being allowed for 2mnths.
:laughing: I have a washing chair too!!
I have a whole washing lounge... and I only have the one lil chicka...:o
All I can say is its gonna get worse as she gets older too..... Oh dear... :p
Oh Kaz you really make me laugh. Love you sense of humour and I hope you meet up with old Ronnie soon.
Oi! - you just watch it with the old!!! LOL
She is so overdue her needles with her flu's but the dr says I have to do them next week at the latest so we're booked in. Now she's older though I'm wondering if I could use those swabs you can buy from the chemist to numb the area? I want to get gav to design Nix's single bed for her, so lord knows how long that will take lol. .
Hm - we put off the one year old needles due to sickness too - better get my butt into gear and organise them for now - thanks for reminding me:wave:
I forgot to say in my post earlier, Mark came home with a present for me last night.... a pink fishing rodbless him..
Ooh - sounds good (well - sort of) - see next quote response
HEHEHEHE!!! [/B][/COLOR]
Well - if we don't see you around, we'll be keeping our fingers crossed for you!:smiliedance:
Mmmm...broadbeans...love em! Haven't tried B on them though, how'd u do them for Lina?
Say what!!!!:eek:
Yay! my stalking pregnant women worked! I should have one booked for mid oct. whoo hoo me! although.... she is in between here and bathurst until the birth - god hope she has the birth here!
Yay -for you Shea - great to hear you've got some ladies to help - you'll be great!!!
Nah no pic of my rod yet, it's in the shed still in pieces lol.. Well it was last night, whether or not Mark decided to have a play with it I dunno.. I like fishing, once every few months lol.. I made a joke that he'd have to get me a pink one so I'd know it was mine (seeing as he has god knows how many and Zac already has 3 lol) but didnt actually expect it to happen.
You and I must really get our men together - I'm also one of those - enjoy it occasionally - but love my man to have an interest. They could go fishing together while our littlies play (or send the boys fishing and we could have a couple of drinks)LOL
Yay for Faith walkng
Busy day today - had swimming this morning- little Miss K didn't want to sleep before, but thought I'd try her before having a shower (after having AF for pretty much 6weeks full time, I relish my showers), bit of relax time for me - but no - she wouldn't have it. Anyway - after swimming - had a brief with 3 other Perth mums - was good, but Mr A had an accident when he was way up high in a playcentre calling to me "mummy - wee" - had to go find him to get him out - luckily - it ended up all in his pants rather than in the slide LOL. Speech assessment came next - was as I thought - he has a great vocab - but his expressive language doesn't fit with his receptive. Seems to know what's going on, but doesn't know how to word it. We're going to work on getting him to add in joining words. Was a positive to hear that his phoenetics are good too - I was worried that I was the only one that could understand him as I know what he's leaving off with his beginnings and endings of words.
Had a bit of a surreal night tonight - DH's ex rang to check I'd put in the normal amount of maintenance (have I ever not?:rolleyes: ) then we organise for me to pick up DSS tomorrow from her as I've organised for DH to have a boy's night as he's due to have one. Then have a bit of a conversation with her about how someone saw us a few weeks ago and commented about how much DSS looks like DH and then about how much DS looks like DSS, she then wanted to discuss familiar similarities - not sure if I want to have those conversations with her. She said about how beautiful DSD is and how she has to look out for her (after how I said that I could see how much DSD looked like her), I just said to her that sometimes no just has to be said - (we all know DSD needs more nos said to her as she goes out and does more than any 14year old should) - she just said yeah but it's hard......
Anyway - will chat again tomorrow.
Good morning
Karen, great to hear from you. How far along are you now?
Nel, how cute on the pink fishing rod. Sean sounds so much like Mark, he has, i think at last count, 13 rods and of cause you have to have all the different reels to go with them. God only know why he needs so many, but he keeps telling me that you need different rods for different things, beach, boat, etc. I think out of all those rods, only 1 is mine and Bode has a little one. Thank god Sean doesn't work with them other wise i am sure he would have more. We already spend waaaaaay to much time and money at BCF :laughing: I think if we lived closer, our boys would be out fishing all the time. Do you have a step son? sorry just being nosy
Pegs, you are sounding heaps happier, hope you guys have a great weekend with DSS. Hopefully step mum might take that advice you suggest to her about DSD.
Mich, wow you guys have a lot coming up. Hope you can find some more stable work. I know what you mean about forgetting how old they are, i sometimes forget bodhi is only 3.
Kel, good luck with TTC this month, just go for it every second night ;) When if AF due next?
Nay, yay on getting your new car, i bet you are driving around every where now.
Dont talk to me about washing, since we have had rain for 5 days straight, the poor dryer has been running flat out just about every day to keep up with all the washing. We have 4 adults and 2 kids, and i can't believe how much washing we do.
We have Bodhi's hospital appointment at lunch time today, so it will be interesting to see what they do about the blocked grommet. I don't know if they will still do the hearing test cause i know he isn't hearing as well as he was. Just have to wait and see.

Just feeling a bit flat and stressed out. DH wants so much of me at the moment.
huge :hugs: gorgeous mumma, you are having a very stressful time. i get stressed at times with Angel too and i don't have half as much going on as you. just do breathe in breathe out exercises when you feel yourself getting upset with Luci, or just put her in her room to play and go and do something else for 10mins, xxoo.
God I hope it sells tomorrow, I just want to get out of here and move on with building our new house. We decided not to rent it out (I forget if I ever told you all that) so we are just staying here until it sells.

my goodness you did have a busy day. glad everything is ok with A :hugs: you are such a trooper. i can't believe you can still be civil to that woman. i mean, i'm all for trying to keep the peace but even she woulda pushed my limits adn i woulda told her where to go by now. you're a very tolerant gorgeous mumma, xxoo.

hehe, thks. although not off to a good start, i had a chance last night and didn't take it cause i was too tired HAHAHA!!!! it just finished and i have been meaning to ask, when do you usually fall?? is it in the middle of the cycle?? i still have no idea about this stuff!!
i gotta do sheets and towels today - they suck majorly - cause i'm having to use out dryer too and that will take about 3-4 loads worth!!!!
good luck today for bodhi's appt, i hope he still can have his hearing test for you.
well, i'm off for now gorgeous mummas, Angel wants brekky. lots of love, xxoo.

Morning everyone :wave:
Happy Birthday Ducky happybirthday I hope you have a wonderful spoilt day :hugs:
I hope Bodhi's app at the docs goes well Mell.
I am sooo stressed to the max with leyla, She has been getting really frustrated latley and chucking these tantrums. If she can't do something she screams and chucks things across the room. This morning she chucked a bottle at my head! She puts on this fake shrill that she does, aghhhhhh :hair:
My mum had a talk to me last night that if i dont sort out why shes like this i gotta leave coz they can't stand the whinging and crying all day. I know it's from of her teething, she has 5 coming in at the moment. I give her panadole and bonjella but that doesn't seem to be helping. I might try to get her into the docs, i don't know if they can do anything tho?
Have a nice day everyone xx

happybirthday QUACK QUACK! Hope you have a fantastic day Jess! :party:
Mell, good luck with Bohdi's appt today!
Kel, if it's a normal 28 day cycle I think it's around day 14, so mid cycle.
OMG Tash is Leyla really THAT bad that your mum needs to kick you both out?! Is she for real? Maybe have a chat to your CHN as well. Do you do many activities with her to keep her occupied? Do you take her outside often?

Oh and Tash don't worry about the chucking things - B does that a lot - she actually BROKE a bottle! :eek:

huge :hugs: gorgeous mumma. as Nay said don't worry bout the throwing things, Angel does it too whenever she chucks tanties (which can be alot some days!!) i know how frustrating it is cause you don't know what to do.
i can't imagine Leyla is that bad that you need to be kicked out, that's a bit harsh and not very fair. maybe when she is acting up go for a walk to get out of the house away from them?? or just go into the yard (if you have one). even put on a dvd of kids stuff to see if that helps her?? if not, maybe just put some relaxation music on and see if that calms her down?? i put relaxation music on for Angel when she has her sleeps and it seems to work really well :kiss: it's easy for us to give opinions and advice when we don't really know how bad it is. i hope things settle down for you soon :hugs:
Loving Leyla
24-08-2007, 07:53
Thanks kel, Nay :hugs:
Thank god i thought leyla had an anger problem from her chucking things lol.
Yeah i take her out the back she loves it and try to take her for walks, she really hates it when im on the computer though, i think that's when shes at her worst.
I think my mum is just stressed about everything at the moment and she is just saying that. But even my sister can't stand leylas constant tantrums and whinging. I might make an app at cyh just to see if they can help me out. I would really love to move out, my mum is always on my back about leylas mess.
I can't stand it anymore. I might call up Housing trust see what they can offer me.
Thanks for ur advice ladies :hugs:

Firstlyhappybirthday Ducky!! Hope your day is splendid!

Washing.... argh don't get me started... actually I'm sort of up to date with the washing, now I need to iron.
Pegs, You are amazing... so strong and calm...
Nay, enjoy your MacBook and new car. We are a mac family here and just love 'em
OK, there was more, but I didn't multi-quote and so I can't remember.
I'd best away anyway to clean our bathroom now that the floor leading to the bathroom is dry...
Have a good day xxx

hopefuly you mum may have had a chance to calm down. and hopefuly she doesn't really mean it either. sneding you :hugs:
geeze, brain dead today. i might also have a second birht but she hasn't gotten back to me, although she contacted me first...
was soo tempted to stop a woman in toy r us last night as it looked like she was about to pop! but i restrained myself.
speaking of washing i have some in the washer that really should have been in the dryer by now.... :wave:
Hi there,
I think I have missed something why are you chasing pregnant women Shea?
My boys were horrors yesterday - They drove me twinseinne - into everything and fighting with each other. One always wants what the other has and then it ends up in scuffle. Broke some draws. I didn't sit still then had a Barry (Barry Crocker a shocker) of a night - not a lot of sleep.
THen our friend called us to say his little baby has been stopping breathing and he is the Sydney hospy, think he is okay but still waiting to hear.
What a night.
Happy birthday Jessie,
I love the rain but yeah washing is a issue. Dryer certainly is getting a work out. I have to wash every day with the boys. The are grots
Angel'sCandy
24-08-2007, 11:15
Shea - good on you for restraining yourself. :laughing: it owuld have been a crack up if you did it thought to see what she said!! hope the 2nd birth works out well.
Jayney - huge :hugs: gorgeous mumma. i hope today is better for you. also, i hope your lil bubba friend is ok :kiss: that must be so terribly hard for the parents.
:laughing: you crack me up with your sayings!!
Kel, you are such a sweet pea!

OMG, I've just read eons of pages - all extremely exhilerating I might add and have done loads of multi-quotes. Boys are at daycare again this morning and I'm supposed to be writing, but I jsut HAVE to catch up with you guys. So here goes...
BBL ladies, dinner is ready!
Good to see ya again Jac! Good luck with the ttc.
Should be getting my tatt tomorrow - please think of me NOT being in too much pain!
QUOTE]
Nay - must have missed you were getting one! How exciting. Good luck... what are you getting?
[QUOTE=Myztik;1827434]:laughing: ..asks she with only 1 child... Oh you'll learn :laughing:
Here, here - I have a HUGE washing machine and it's not unheard of to do more than one wash a day.
they change their undies at least 3 times a day!!! (good hygeine though!)
Maria - Hamish is the same. He seems to think that everytime he goes to the loo, he needs a new pair... he's such a strange, sensitive soul that one, but he's drives me up the wall with his quirks sometimes.
Yay! my stalking pregnant women worked! I should have one booked for mid oct. whoo hoo me! although.... she is in between here and bathurst until the birth - god hope she has the birth here!
Shea - that's fantatic.. I can tell this is just the start as you are such a highly motivated person. Remind me about the bf write-up in September by the way.
lol, can't believe i forgot my preg in the other post! I've been quite worried this week and even went to the emergency room on the first sick day (before I knew what i had) because i'd been awake since midnight with a fever about 39 and thought the baby would overheat. f!
Golly - that's sooooooooooooo scary Karen! But it's always definately best to get things checked out. I honestly don't know how you cope working four days, I only work here and there and my house is constantly looking like a warzone...
Just feeling a bit flat and stressed out.
Ahh, Mich, you are such a lovely person, always trying to do the best for everyone. I'm sure you'll sort something out... besides dance, is there anything you absolutely love or adore doing - why not apply for a job in a shop that's related to that. Photos are adorable by the way.
I have a whole washing lounge... and I only have the one lil chicka...:o
I have a washing spare bed - in fact, I call the spare room, my second laundry...g oing to have to get to it this week though, as we have friends staying next Friday night.
Kel - just wanted to say, how your posts always make me smile... they are always so selfless... Goodluck with your baby-dancing.

Well, now that I've done all those personals, won't bore ya to smithereens with my life. Hopefully I'll have a chance to come on again at the library tomorrow - don't speak too much between now and then, or I'll lose track again...

I finally have something I have longed for all week....
silence
my 2 are asleep after playing at our local kid friendly cafe (my 2nd home)
So I'll be quick cos I gotta get rid of that darn washing pile!
Great work Shea!
:hugs: Nix and Michy (nice pics mich, L looks just like you)
Good luck TTCers (I wont be joining you any time soon)
Tash I really wish I lived closer to you to provide some support, you're a great chicky babe with such a wonderful kiddo. I'm sure mich has some great ideas for toddler discipline.
Jayney I haven't got twins but I sooooo hear where you are coming from. I really really really need a night out, this hour of peace I've got now has been the first for a fortnight.
Do any of the Syd girls wanna see Something for Kate at the Metro with me?
Happy B'day ducky
Hope it warms up soon Higa
Must post a pic of your tatt Nay.

Hello!!
Happy Birthday Mrs Duck!!! Enjoy your day today xoxoxoxoxo
Mell- how did Bodhi go with his appointment? Hopefully everything is fine and his earing is normal again.
Maria- I hope you get a better nights sleep tonight. Do you have the weekend off work? Hopefully you can get some rest while Cris is home.
Tasha- huge :hugs: for you. I am sure Leyla is just going through a stage. A bit unfair of your mum wanting you to leave as it's not your fault but I hope you can work something out housing wise if you do go. That squealing noise is so annoying, Mason's friend Olivia does it and then after playing with her he comes home and does it for a few days :banghead:
Kel- lol, good luck with the baby making! How long are your cycles? Like Nay said if they are normal 28 days then you will need to do the deed around day 14, but if they are irregular then it's hard to know when the best time is. Basically you will ovulate around 14 days before you get AF regardless of how long your cycles are so for e.g I have 38 day cycles so the best time for us to do it is around day 24 (plus the few days before and after just to make sure). Although mine aren't working out that way lately which is why I might be heading to the Dr cos I think maybe my hormones are all out of whack. If you and Ady do it every 2nd day you will have a good chance of getting pregnant. If you have any Q's you can PM me.
Mich- OMG Luci is just so beautiful! You must be so proud of her, she really is a gorgeous little girl. I hope you are feeling ok and not too snowed down with everything xo
Shea- HAHA!! That would have been funny for that pregnant lady having a stranger coming up to her in Toys r Us! You should have done it just so you could tell us what she said!! When you said you were stalking pregnant women I didn't think you meant literally :laughing: You are too funny. How many births do you need before you are fully qualified?
Rach- Argh! There is nothing worse than a bad nights sleep. I hope you get a good one tonight xo
Nay- have you got your tatt done??
Jayney- Hopefully your friends baby is ok, let us know how he goes. Your boys sound crazy, so cute! I know it must be so hard on you having 2 at once but I think it is so special the bond that they will have when they grow up.
Had an ok morning, I took Mason to mothers group and he had a great time.
I too have heaps and heaps of washing. It's out of control now how much I need to do. I have been trying to get some done and dry it but we have one of those washer/dryer all in ones and it's 7kg wash/4kg dry so I can really only wash a 4kg load otherwise I have to take half out and have it sit there wet while I wait for the first half to dry. The dry cycle is like 2 and a half hours :banghead: I really didn't want this washing machine but we got it when I was like 37 weeks pregnant and our old one broke down and I was so over everything that I let Paul go and choose the new one. It cost a fortune too, I don't know why I ever let him get it!! Crazy pregnancy hormones I think.
Chat later xoxo

hey gorgeous mumma :hugs: mine are irregular too, it can go anywhere from 4-6wks between my cycles so realy i have no idea. every 2nd day huh?? well, that's gonna be a task and a half :laughing:
i always wanted one of those washer/dryer thingos but they're obviously not very good :confused:
Hi all :)
Happy birthday Jess hope you are having a good day.
Just a quick post to say hi and have a great weekend all.
Shea gratz on getting your first lady! Goodluck with the next two.
I really didn't want this washing machine but we got it when I was like 37 weeks pregnant and our old one broke down and I was so over everything that I let Paul go and choose the new one. It cost a fortune too, I don't know why I ever let him get it!! Crazy pregnancy hormones I think.
This sounds sooo familiar!!!!!! When I had my 24/7 morning sickness we shifted and needed all the whitegoods as we had come from a unit to a house. Anyway off we toddle to harvey normans me feeling like **** but not trusting DH to choose.
We were in there for all of 10mins and I said I have to go you can take me home then come choose whatever the hell you want I dont care I need to get home....
He chose a great washing machine and drying machine but a **** fridge, basically no freezer space:thumbsdown:

Hi there,
THen our friend called us to say his little baby has been stopping breathing and he is the Sydney hospy, think he is okay but still waiting to hear.
What a night.
Hey Jayney, I hope Ur friends bub is okay, that would be extremly scary for them :hugs: I hope you and ur boys are well.

my 2 are asleep after playing at our local kid friendly cafe (my 2nd home)
Tash I really wish I lived closer to you to provide some support, you're a great chicky babe with such a wonderful kiddo. I'm sure mich has some great ideas for toddler discipline.
Hey TS Thanks so much for your kind words, so sweet of you :hugs: Ahh moments to urself are bliss! How is Master P going at swimming lessons? xx
aww huge gorgeous mumma. maybe your next step of moving on is moving out?? it may help a bit. at least you would have your own place and space?? can you do anything about Leyla's dad paying child support??
Thanks so much beautiful mumma! It's okay i think things have calmed down now, I think things just got a bit heated at that point in time. I don't think you can get child support from someone overseas can you? I will look into it tho. xx
I forgot I wanted to put a link to photo bucket in to share some of her photos....

:laughing: too funny Shea!!
Just got back from taking leyla to see a child&youth health nurse, we just got her weighed, hight and i talked about the anger problems she seems to have. She weighs 11.46kgs, i think her hight was 71cms. She just told me to talk to the pediatrition about her anger when i take her for her app about her heart.
bbl ley has pulled her nappy off :hair:

far out you ladies can talk. Finally home, had to take my mum to Ipswich today, I hate driving there in the rain!
Poor natty is losing her voice. I dont know whether to be happy in a sense (as she literally doesnt shutup) babd mummy thoughts there, but i loathe it when my children are sick. Shes happy enough though, Brianna says that she sounds like an old man :laughing:
Mell, How did Bodhi's appt go? Hope nothing to dramatic.
I forgot I wanted to put a link to photo bucket in to share some of her photos....
Shes gorgeous mich! Lina hasnt even had her first haircut yet, but im not in a hurry, i want it to grow just a little bit more so she can have a little water fountain on her head :D
TS, im with you on a night out without kiddies. As much as i love my girls, i do need a break - work is my break, but its not a break IYKWIM.
H - yes unfortunately i am working tomorrow. We will be going through accreditation again shortly and i have so much to get done before then. Just the policy & procedures manual is 150 pages. Once I have started it tomorrow, i will be emailing it to myself so i can work on some at home.
Tash, wow Leyla is a big girl. :D Tantrums are normal, ask my girls, all of them have them!!
Jayney, my girls can be grots also. and like your boys they have their fights also. drives me batty.
Ok Brissie gals, I was chatting with Nay last night on msn, and suggested that we should try and organise a wine and cheese arvo. What do you all think?? Im all for it :D
All this talk about ovulation and TTC you are all freaking me out! Just kidding actually I haven't had the big red flood yet (AF as the hub calls it) and its fantastic. I think I may have went to the same doc Jac goes to and she is fantastic.
Might out out for a guiness tonight with hubby and the boys.
My new camera - I don't even know how to turn it on. Too hard basket for me. The instructions booklet is huge - when will I get the time to read it
Sounds like a plan Maria and Renee. I will be in that
Mich - you little girl is gorgeous and looks so much like her Mum.
TS - shame we weren't closer. I would love to go to see SOmething for Kate with you. I am still upset about missing the Cure.

Well gotta say apart from being stuck in doors, I am loving this rain! I hope the dams fill up, I am so sick of everything in Brisbane being brown! Oh and I would like to plant some grass when we move into our new house.. if we don't get more rain that won't be happening.
Went to playgroup today and there were only 4 other families there, it was lovely. Faith had a ball. She normally gets really loud when we go which is out of character, but today she just played calmly, sung and clapped along. I even got to enjoy a cuppa and morning tea with the other mums! bliss! She is now having a nap, but I expect her to wake up any second cause shes been asleep for over 2hrs.
Jac, she hasn't been off the pill for a month yet, prob about two weeks. Will get bloods done after that, but I'll mention the internl US, though she prob won't like the sound of that - I know I wouldn't
Its not that bad, well, not as bad as a pap s. Definitely worth it if she wants accurate results. Good luck.
Yay! my stalking pregnant women worked! I should have one booked for mid oct. whoo hoo me! although.... she is in between here and bathurst until the birth - god hope she has the birth here!
Yahoo! :yelclap: Well done. Hope you get another lady soon.
lol, can't believe i forgot my preg in the other post! I've been quite worried this week and even went to the emergency room on the first sick day (before I knew what i had) because i'd been awake since midnight with a fever about 39 and thought the baby would overheat. Gav was at work and my darling sis came over at 5am to stay with nix while i got checked. Of course, silly me went to my maternity hospital so all the midwife did was check my temp, try to find the heartbeat (she couldn't but said it was only cause the baby was small) and send me home with some panadol! But I spoke to my ob later that day after i'd been to the gp and she said babies rarely overheat even when the mum has a temp as the uterus/placenta etc kept it all the right temp.
I 'popped' at conference last week and officially cannot hold my tummy in any longer which is quite liberating. I feel like i look more pregnant now than just fat so that's nice! Now all I need is for the morning sickness to go away for good and i'll be happy... I think it's only back cause i'm not well, but when i'm needing food more than ever, it's frustrating to feel no appetite and queasy to boot!
Hmm so glad to hear your pregnancy is progessing healthly. Just hope that ms disappears for you quickly and you get your appetite back. Were you sick with Nix??
Luci is really growing and because I'm stressed I haven't got my normal patience so I'm getting cranky with her. We've had heaps of rain here so we've been stuck indoors which never helps. Don't get me wrong, I love her to bits, but sometimes.. I think I forget she's only 1...
Yes I have found myself like this with Faith when I am tired after working too. Sometimes I wonder if returning to work is the right thing to do if I am going to be short and frustrated with her. its really hard at times isn't it. Just remember that you are an excellent loving mum, who takes wonderful care of your child and does everything in her power to give her the best.. that's all we can do. I hope you feel brighter soon xx
We have Bodhi's hospital appointment at lunch time today, so it will be interesting to see what they do about the blocked grommet. I don't know if they will still do the hearing test cause i know he isn't hearing as well as he was. Just have to wait and see.
Hi Mell, How did bodhi's appointment go??
hehe, thks. although not off to a good start, i had a chance last night and didn't take it cause i was too tired HAHAHA!!!! it just finished and i have been meaning to ask, when do you usually fall?? is it in the middle of the cycle?? i still have no idea about this stuff!!
Hi darl, you fall when you ovulate, release an egg to be fertilised. It is usually between day 10-16 depending upon your cycle. You can buy ovulation kits from the supermarket that can tell you when you are ovulating (so help increase your chances) so you can try and make a baby at this time. They are on the shelves next to the pregnacy kits. They are around $20 a pop. But definitely worth it I guess if you are not sure when you ovulate each month. Good luck with it all.
I think my mum is just stressed about everything at the moment and she is just saying that. But even my sister can't stand leylas constant tantrums and whinging. I might make an app at cyh just to see if they can help me out. I would really love to move out, my mum is always on my back about leylas mess.
I can't stand it anymore. I might call up Housing trust see what they can offer me.
Thanks for ur advice ladies
Oh tash, good luck with everything. You are definitely going through a big transition in your life right now. I hope that you find a solution that you are happy and comfortable with very soon. Leyla doesn't have anger problems, she is just testing her boundaries, and expressing her emotions they only way she knows how. Its funny when I say no, Faith laughs and does what she is doing harder, or with more will :banghead: . Very frustrating at times!!
I forgot I wanted to put a link to photo bucket in to share some of her photos....

The joys of twins eh?? I will have to send my dh around to speak to you and Jodi.. he keeps saying he hopes we have twins next time. :no: Hope you get a great night sleep tonight PJ!
I have a washing spare bed - in fact, I call the spare room, my second laundry...g oing to have to get to it this week though, as we have friends staying next Friday night.
Hi Rach! I have a spare room that looks the same :laughing: . Good luck with the writing, I hope you feel inspired and gets heaps done.
Pegs, gotta say you are a superwoman. The patients of an angel.
Happy Birthday Jess!!! Hope you are having a wonderful day xxxxxx
Ok, as predicted, she is awake! Gotta go, its just me and her all weekend..... BBL xxx
My god you lot can talk:ecomcity:
Jayney, how very scary about your friends little boy, hope everything is alright with him. Your boys sounds so cute, Bodhi and Nix fight every now and then, Nix stires Bodhi up something shocking.
Nay, i want to see photos of your new tatt.
Mich, love the photos of Luci, she is such a little cutie.
happybirthday Jessie, hope you are having a lovely day.
Bodhi's appointment went ok. He had his hearing test but he wouldn't do what he was suppose to do, so they couldn't really get an idea on how he is going. Then 3 hours later i got in to see the doc and we have to put 4 drops of olive oil in his ear at night for a week and that should unblock his grommet. I will take him back to my doc's in a week just to check, and then we are back to the hospital in 4 weeks time for another hearing test. So all in all, it was a waste of time.

Pick me!!!!!! :smiliedance: Well Justin said I can have a day to myself next Saturday 1st Sept.... otherwise I know I definitely can't do the 15/16th as we are away and the 21/22nd I am babysitting my nieces and nephews. But with a lil notice any other weekend should be ok. My goodness, this will be wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgot to quote everything and P is about to come ask for some dinner so here goes....
Its not that bad, well, not as bad as a pap s. Definitely worth it if she wants accurate results. Good luck
Yeah I can attest to that... the camera thing is no bigger than a tampon, and all lubed up.... not uncomfortable at all.... I got to experience the joys of it thanks to a nasty rugby "accident" once.....
TS - If I was into Something For Kate I would have said yes.... thinking of going to see Missy Higgins when she plays up here....
Pegs - was talking about a COMPLETELY different Ronnie.... :laughing: and seeing as its been such a long time since we've been acquainted he is def old.... lol!!!
Jayney - would def love to meet up and have a drink or 5 with you some time!
Mich - L is sooooo bootiful!
Tash - Hope miss leyla starts treating her mummy better... hope you get all sorted with your mum... maybe a place of your own would do you both welL!
Kel - good luck with the baby making.....
And last but not least.... Happy Happy Birthday Old Ducky!!!!

Hidi ho,
little bubba was in bed early tonight, means an early morning for me. Dh is working again tonight - but at least it gives me time to do my birth stories book.
I think I have missed something why are you chasing pregnant women Shea?
Because they are slower and i can grab their bags easier! lol, no, i'm training to become a doula.
Remind me about the bf write-up in September by the way.
Rach - can up do my breastfd write up? hehehe. no, i will remind you again if i remember. P.S get some sleep you poor thing!
How many births do you need before you are fully qualified?
3. I am talking to two women who are due this year and one early next. but if more come up inbetween then, then better for me!
I will take him back to my doc's in a week just to check, and then we are back to the hospital in 4 weeks time for another hearing test. So all in all, it was a waste of time.
Poor little bubba, hpoe you guys eat his poor ear sorted out soon!
sorry if i missed you, if i did then :wave: . Off to do my book! TTFN
happybirthday Jessie!!
Sorry, no personals. too tired.
I actually feel really quite crook.. :/ Chris isn't home but, thankfully, Cobes was in bed really early tonight (6pm, no dinner, still has his shoes on)
You know I'm so amazed by how much he's getting smarter and smarter. He says new words nearly every day and uses them so well in context. He's so good and working out how things work as well.. and he has such a cheeky sense of humour (Chris' dad is amazed to watch him run at the TV and start giggling madly before he gets there, knowing he's not meant to do it)

Firstly a big big BIG grumble...
Didn't get my tatt done today. On GC Tatts web site, it says they don't take bookings or no need to book or similar. So, I rocked up the the one at Southport around lunchtime. They tell me they're booked out! The guy then rings two of their other shops - also BOOKED OUT! He then rings the last one - can get me in at 2.30pm but when I asked him if I should call to make a booking, he said no, just head over there. So, I get to the Surfers one at just after 2.30 and they tell me they can't do it cos they've got some old fella coming in for his in 10mins!
So anyways...I BOOKED IN for 3pm tomorrow! HRUMPH!!! :hair:
About the combo washer dryer. I've got one, and I love it! Great space saver! And when you think about it, the washer is 8kg and dryer is 4kg which is average. No matter what size washer you have, you'll always have to split a full load if you're putting the whole lot in the dryer!
Anyway will BBL after rum and dinner!!!

Maria - i've never been to a wine and cheese thing but i will come and see how it works anyway :thumbsup:
Jayney - hope you got to go out :hugs: work out your camera with hubby, ady and i always work well together with stuff like that.
Jac - glad you had fun at playgroup and that you were able to have some 'away from bubba' time. i think for this month we'll just do the deed heaps and see what happens. if nothing happens then i might get an ovulation test thingo :hugs: thanks for helping and to all you other gorgeous mummas who have helped me too, xxoo.
Mell - what a bugger that Bodhes was playing up a bit. i hope all is well when you go back to the doc :hugs:
Seek - hope you get better soon gorgeous mumma, xxoo.
Nay - BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER!!! hope it all goes well tomorrow, xxoo.

more exciting news, lina stood up by herself today at the couch, she was pleased as punch, so i started clapping, little miss decided to copy and clap as well, and promptly fell on her cushioned tushie. was very funny, she had the surprised O look on her face! priceless! but i didnt have my camera with me.
New thing that she loves getting done, is a whizz with her hair being dried with a hairdryer! we always do the older girls hair in winter (if theyve showered late) so we put it on her, and she cacked it.

Yay Lina on standing!! Maria, I used to work at a nursing home doing the accounts and know how stressful accreditation can be (not so much for me but for the other managers and nurses). So much work to be done. I hope you come through it ok :fingerscrossed:
Nay, can't wait to see your bling. You have really spoiled yourself this week, good to see- you deserve it!
Jayney- have a good night out xo
Jac- I am loving this rain too, we so badly need it don't we. Our tanks will be full now.
Kel- even every 3rd day will increase your chances if every 2nd day is a bit much for you, but the more often the better. When we were trying for Mason I had NO idea about ovulation or anything so Paul & I did it every single day!! Now I can't even imagine having the time or energy every day HAHA!!
Those internal ultrasond things remind me of an oversized electric toothbrush :laughing: ...without the bristles on the end of course. I was offered one when I was 5/6 weeks pregnant with Mason at the dating scan because they could see the sac but no baby because it was too early and the guy doing the scan held up this thing and said did I want him to try too see the baby with it. I said NO THANKS :laughing:
The washer/dryer isn't THAT bad but the main reason I don't like it is because we have a large laundry so could easily fit a washer and dryer and I can't wash another load while drying the last load iykwim and it seems to take forever. But it is good as far as washing goes and it saves a lot of water. I noticed that the dryer was making the clothes smell funny so I bought some of those scented dryer cloth things today while shopping so will see how they go. I have a load in now.
I did the grocery shopping this afternoon and left Mason home with Paul. It was good to get out by myself even for an hour or so, although practically every aisle I was stopped by someone we know asking how Mason is and where he was :rolleyes: I spent way too much money as usual but I got some stuff to make some yummy treats. Over the weekend I am making a mars bar cheesecake- YUMMY!!
Chat to you all later xo
Happy Birthday Duckie, hope you had a good time. happybirthday
:fingerscrossed: for the doula-ing Shea.
Hope you find something good career-wise Mich. You're very talented but it must be hard if there isn't much you can do dance-wise. Is the pilates thing still coming on? Loved the photos of Luci.
Pegasus- I think despite the hassle bio-mum knows (subconciously?) that you're good with the stepkids.
Urgh I'm tired. DH just cut through our bench top with a circular saw and then decided he wasn't going to do any more tonight. Now I'm getting winged at for going on Bubhub when I've been looking after 2 of the littluns all day :hair:

Hmph! I'd hate to think how may I have had, lost count! You're right thou they do look a little like an overgrown electric toothbrush. Will probably have a little smurk next time I see one!:laughing: Hmmm Mars bar cheese cake.. thats sounds DELICIOUS!!
Watched Perfect Strangers on dvd tonight.. pretty good actually, would recommend it. Watched it while muchin down on woodfired pizza and a glass of red.. bliss!!

I noticed that the dryer was making the clothes smell funny so I bought some of those scented dryer cloth things today while shopping so will see how they go. I have a load in now.
Yeah, I think it smells a little funny cos it doesn't put the exhaust air out into the room??? What are the scented thingos called and what section were they in?
What did you do with B? How was your rumbo?? Good luck with your tatt tomoz, hope it doesn't hurt too much.
B was with me, my sis lives at Arundel so she joined us! She'll be coming tomorrow too. I hope it doesn't ouchie too much too! Good luck with your test tomorrow! :fingerscrossed:
Good luck today Nay.... can't wait to see piccies.... I really must get working on a design for the next one I want on my back......

Ignore the tired, grungey trackie wearing person in this pic.. :rolleyes: (http://www.flickr.com/photos/myztik/1226282871/)
Good morning
Nel, he is such a little cutie, what a shame you guys don't get to spend more time with him. Love the ugly stick, i just told Sean that we have to go to BCF today or tomorrow cause i want one. I will let you know if we can find one.
Nay, LOVE the bling, it looks great on you, very jealous (text deleted by moderator)
Jac, hope your blood test went well this morning, when is Justin coming home, hope he gets home in time before you O.
Kaz, good luck today with your footy finals, hope you guys win. Is it tonight that you are going out?
Bessie, hope your DH gets your bench top finished today. Men never know how to finish something.
The internal U/S isn't bad at all. Sean laughed when he saw it and you have to insert it your self as they aren't 'allowed' to look down there, they hold it while you insert it then once it is in there, they take over. Lovely experience.

hello all! im knackered!
natty came into our bed early this morning (2am) and I so couldnt be bothered getting up and carrying her back to her bed. Well a couple of hours later lina woke up for a feed, and i could smell wee! checked lina she was ok, and yep you guessed it, natty wet our bed! not only that poor cris had a wet back from it all (I cant stop laughing over this :devil6: )
Yes, yes I have!
ooohhhhhhhh I love it!!! am certainly jealous miss blingnay!!! i love bling also :D
good luck with getting your tatt.
Sudden death footy final today....
Knock em down Karrie! hope your team wins.
Kel, glad you had a successful day getting rid of things. We are well and truly overdue with ours.
Nel, great pics, i think that Kai looks a bit like Damo. Gotta love the pink stik :D
Jac, hope you get good levels on your blood test!
Ive had far too many to count of the lovely internal u/s.
Toots for now

25-08-2007, 14:38
OMG Nay I LOVE LOVE LOVE your bling!! I have been asking for a set like that for years, I even said he could buy me silver if he wanted as it's soooo much cheaper but I still haven't got it yet :rolleyes: I will get it one day though, I'm determined! Did you get your tatt today? Those scented things are Fluffy Tumble Dryer Sheets, they are on the shelf with all the fabric softeners, about $4-$5 for a box of 24. I did one load last night with one sheet in and it didn't make any difference, so the next load I put 2 in and I still can't smell it so I don't know if they are worth it.
Jac- was your ultrasound today? How did you go?
Kaz- how was footy today?
Nel- I love your pink fishing rod! If I had to fish I'd definately need a pink rod :laughing: Your DSS is so cute, it's such a shame Mark doesn't get to see him much.
Maria- lol @ Natty weeing the bed and Cris laying in it :laughing:
Spent this morning getting photos organised for Paul's fathers day present. I'm getting him a big photo frame (sort of natural wood looking frame) with 3 sepia photos of Mason in it. Then another brown leather frame with stitching on it (hard to explain) with a b&w photo of Mason from his baptism in it. I'm excited to give it to him because the 3 sepia ones are really nice photos of Mason that Paul hasn't seen yet.
Chat later xo

Evening ladies
Sorry, I am still laughing my butt off over Maria's post and Natty's accident.. poor Cris.. way too funny though!
Had my blood test today and my doc rang with the results this afternoon, she said I am still not quite there yet (day 12) but my estrogen levels are rising.. I have to have another test on Tuesday :fingerscrossed: I ovulate! Justin is home tomorrow night. I had the same problem in the cycle we fell with Faith. I had 5 blood tests and didn't register enough estrogen to ovulate, but was spotting, so my doc was going to double my meds. Two weeks later when AF didn't come, I did a pg test and it was positive! :fingerscrossed: a similar thing will happen this time.. trying not to get my hopes up thou. I will be happy enough to know that the drugs worked and I ovulated at this stage.
Sudden death footy final today.... aaaaahhhh......
How did you go?? Hope you didnt cop a battering.. nothing worse than waking up with a hang over and a sore body!!
Mell this is Damon, my DSS

He is sooo cute. Love your Ugly stick!! Might need to get one too. I actually LOVE fishing.. but my dh is only an occassional fisher and when he goes its boys only! I usually fish with my mum and dad when I go home for holidays.. they live on the beach so its easy peasy to throw a line it.. love it!
The internal U/S isn't bad at all. Sean laughed when he saw it and you have to insert it your self as they aren't 'allowed' to look down there, they hold it while you insert it then once it is in there, they take over. Lovely experience.
Are you kidding?? I have never ever inserted it myself, the doctor has always done it. Isn't that funny how different doctors have different practises. Justin was there once for one and he's like.. um.. what are you going to do with that??.. he watched and said.. I am soooo glad I am a man!:laughing:

Hahahahahahah still laughing!!!!
Had a nice day today, Faith was so well behaved when I went for my blood test, the look on her face was priceless. I went out to lunch with a girlfriend and we were going to go to an indoor playcentre, but when we got there, it was standing room only, so we went to coffee club. Faith screamed when we walked out of the playcentre, so I thought my goodness, lunch will be a disaster, but she was an angel. She sat in the chair (won't sit in a high chair when we go out, wants to be a big girl) next to me for two hours, just ate chips and carrott and played with the sugar satchets/salt pepper/table number and I got to eat my lunch in peace.. gosh I LOVE HER! She then went to bed at 6 tonight.. all that chatting must have wore her out!
So who's up for a chat later???????????????:D
Hello all
Didn't really get on last night - I let DSS research some yo you tricks - then found him watching the Simpson's movie on You Tube - you can download them in 10min segments at a time - 9segments. So by the time I got on here - was very late and me very tired.
Will be brief now as Miss K seems to have gotten a temp since waking from her afternoon nap, DH went down for a nap when she did and is still there 2hrs later:eek: so with a clingy child and no DH this is a bit tricky as I'm trying to do dinner too.
Mich - Luci is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Myz - lovely pics. Will see how long it takes me to get my own rod, many things have been bought in the past in veiled attempts at pretending they were for me, but really for him. He's a bit off fishing at the moment - we sold the boat to finance our trip.
Pegs - was talking about a COMPLETELY different Ronnie.... :laughing: and seeing as its been such a long time since we've been acquainted he is def old.... lol!!!
LOL
Which reminds me - happybirthday MRS DUCKhappybirthday
Pegasus- I think despite the hassle bio-mum knows (subconciously?) that you're good with the stepkids.
Hmm I do wonder sometimes. I think I've said before that I'm pretty sure she's either got a psychiatric disorder and/or drugs, so there are many days she doesn't seem lucid. Yesterday her biggest gripe to me was that she got a $100 parking fine for parking out the front of the tax office while getting a TFN for DSD who's just started working at Maccas. She said it was the Tax office's fault rather than the fact that she obviously was in a wrong place or hadn't got a ticket.
Yesterday did end up getting silly with the plans to pick up DSS but all okay in the end - just hate that plans will continuously get changed to suit her, but woebetide anyone that says they have plans which can't be changed to suit her...
anyway - getting very tricky - will go and try to wake DH methinks - otherwise no dinner tonight.

Pegs, I still haven't worked out how to make dinner when B is at her whingy best at that time of the day. And I've never really cooked before, so that makes it harder, I think. Any ideas girls?
This is the best pic I could get of the tatt (http://s199.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/MummaAndBubba/Sundry%20Pix/?action=view¤t=P8250663.jpg). Hard to line myself up when I can't see the screen!!!

25-08-2007, 19:09
I do the eating. :D Rob did the cooking...
I can bake, but not really cook you know?
hi there lovely ladies
how are you all?
happy birthday jess happybirthday i hope you had a lovely day (and sorry its a tad late)
pegs... has biomum had a history of drug use??
maria - that just takes the cake!! actually when chloe went to emergency at 10 days old we had a catheter in trying to catch wee... well she decided she would poo alllll down teh front of als shirt - was hilarious (well obviously not at the time but is now....)
nel, i had no idea mark had a son, is he on good terms with his ex??
Renee - im still waiting for the image to load but if not i will see monday :)
well al is away tonight on a boys weekend, 2 of his mates are going overseas so they are all down at byron nice for some hey! i am actually a bit (a lot) peeved off at him lately, he's away this weekend AND next weekend (for fathers day, hes at a bucks weekend...) i mean i know he cant help it and i dont want him to miss out on his friends but i want some me time desperately!! my mumma is here tonight as i am doing the baby and kids markets tomorrow so she is looking after chloe (and me - she cooked my favourite mash tonight) ....
i have had a pretty shocking week, my best friends mum has just recovered from lung cancer but it looks like it may be back, plus her heart is failing and she has emphysema so that came as a shock - however al continues to smoke (albeit only 2 per day but stilllllll) it just really frustrates me at his lack of willpower - he has been going to quit for almost 2 years now... i think the issue for me is his weakness not the smoking....
i am also feeling so very emotional....i think i was so numb on my antidepressants that now i have some "feelings" back its hitting me hard (uhhh like crying every night in home and away, crying on bondi surf rescue tonight lol)
i went to a baby shower this afternoon, it was good but i missed Chloe so much i guess cause it was baby focussed???
its my b'day in 2 weeks yay i cant wait!! im not sure what im getting (mum says im too old to get anything) :rolleyes:
ummm other news? im now also a Mary Kay beauty consultant and baby beehinds is taking off for me, i am absolutely loving it... work at the council is good, 2 days a week there i can handle any longer and i get a bit edgy lol....
shea - great news on the preggers ppl!!! would so love a doula at my next birth!!
jac - i also had to have an internal, i too had to insert it myself so not the nicest feeling!!! (especially as i was in denial i was even pregnant!!!)
hayley - i am also making als present, i have bought noodle boxes from the scrapping shop near me and have decorated them with matching cards for the pops as well and am going to fill it with lollies, scratchits etc.......
Mariposa
25-08-2007, 19:20
but not really cook you know?
:detective: i dont know........but i understand :D
as i said if you want some easy peasy things just let me know.
btw, forgot to mention that you tatt looks fantastic (but to me painful) I could never get one done (wuss that i am - proud one too!)
Amy, sorry to hear that you are feeling down, i hope things start looking up for you soon. do you still take any meds at all?
Maria - could i possibly ask for some easy peasy recipes too (al does all the cooking)
nope i completely weaned off of them a week ago.... so i think my body is prob still adjusting! will try alternate therapy if i start to feel low again... i feel 100% about chloe which is the reason i went on them so am just monitoring other parts of my life :)

Righto - and now for the lighter stuff!
Had THE best birthday pressie yesterday - RAIN!!!!
(and don't let me hear anyone say a word against the blessed stuff again :shame: :) )
For those of you bored out of your heads, perfect chance to take them out in the mud! THE most funest thing you can do with your bub EVER - half an hour and straight in the bath - new clothes, no harm and SO FUN!
Which reminds me .....washing.....snigger snigger, oh yeah - I have six LARGE baskets downstairs to try and keep it all sorted, thus easier to get through, there is ALWAYS a load in the machine and on the line in this house!!
Jayney - great choice with the camera, Pentax is a great brand.
Nay - gorgeous tatt
Well gotta run, I'm going to chill out in front of a movie.
Oh and bragging moment (those who know me well will appreciate this one) my kitchen is currently sparkling clean with flowers and candle atop table, nought else, just GORGEOUS
Thanks so much you beautifull bellas for the birthday wishes, I loved reading them yesterday. Went to post last night but my keyboard was stuffed
anyway - sorry not more personals
Lots of Love
Jess
Pegs, I still haven't worked out how to make dinner when B is at her whingy best at that time of the day. And I've never really cooked before, so that makes it harder, I think. Any ideas girls?
This is the best pic I could get of the tatt (http://s199.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/MummaAndBubba/Sundry%20Pix/?action=view¤t=P8250663.jpg). Hard to line myself up when I can't see the screen!!!
Nay - lovely lovely tatt!
As for cooking - I used to cook with K in the sling (I have a Bubzilla), but as she got bigger and now likes to poke her hands out, and if I put her at the front I can't reach the bench, I now just do anything that only requires one hand. Sometimes I'll cut anything needed earlier, as cutting's the only thing I have a problem with when holding her. I'll mix holding her no worries.
So on nights when K's whingy - you can pretty much bet it's a baked dinner - tonight was baked chicken pieces with potato bake on the side and steamed bokchoy leaves. So chicken able to be placed in casserole dish one handed no worries, then for potato bake - had a five min break from K (she was briefly occupied) - cut/peeled potatoes, onions, mushrooms, then added milk, chicken stock and cornflour one handed, sprinkled cheese and spring onions one handed and waited for 2min break to cut bok choy and able to steam in microwave no worries safely. (Our vege garden only has ripe bok choy and spring onion atm).
pegs... has biomum had a history of drug use??
i have had a pretty shocking week, my best friends mum has just recovered from lung cancer but it looks like it may be back, plus her heart is failing and she has emphysema so that came as a shock - however al continues to smoke (albeit only 2 per day but stilllllll) it just really frustrates me at his lack of willpower - he has been going to quit for almost 2 years now... i think the issue for me is his weakness not the smoking....
i am also feeling so very emotional....i think i was so numb on my antidepressants that now i have some "feelings" back its hitting me hard (uhhh like crying every night in home and away, crying on bondi surf rescue tonight lol)
Aimz - sorry to hear it's been a rough week for you. Hope your emotions even out a bit soon. As for the smoking - DH quit when I got pregnant with A and hasn't since - it was a deal we made before pregnancy and now he's quit he doesn't want any as he's sure if he does, he won't be able to stop at one.
As for biomum - It was DH who originally said he's sure she's on drugs from how she speaks or looks at time. No hard physical evidence - he lived with her for four years, but that was over 10years ago. I figure the only reason you'd have to hock your children's DVD player, camera, or playstation - happens relatively often - you can aske about an object and it's at cash converters, when the next week, the internet is on/off, foxtel - on/off, phone credit....- I started thinking it was to do with drugs.
Particularly when immediately after she took my DSD's DVD player to hock she told her she was taking off to Rockingham (they live in Yanchep - which is about 120km away). This was at 4 in the afternoon, and it's not unheard of for her to take off to Rockingham and back in an afternoon, quite frequently. We know that when they lived in Rockingham, DSD associated with a man who apparently supplied her with marijuana, and was a very close associate of her mother's (which is why her mother found out). Then there's the fact that when I picked up DSS from her yesterday, she was 3hours early - had pulled the kids out of school- wanted me to meet her early - I told her I couldn't, so she was going to go to Rockingham and come back (100km from where I was meeting her, so a 200km round trip). Didn't happen that way - I ended up meeting her an hour early as otherwise she may have turned up on my doorstep and we don't want her to ever come to our house.
Bottom line is through my own detective work, I believe she may well have a supplier where they used to live, hence the frequent trips. She also has had a lot of talk about her mental stability - her mother wanted me to take the kids one time as she told me biomum was almost being admitted to the psych hospital here, then there's the fact that DSD said something about mum changing meds last time she had an "episode".
Hmm - me thinks I think too much sometimes....I get a bit suspicious about a lot of things, and have lots more stories to tell.
Go back to my original posts in this group and you'll find they're a lot more guarded (like Nel, I was scared she'd find her way onto here). Now, we've been doing this for nearly 2years, I feel safe in this thread. I've never posted any lies, and can back up anything I do say, but I worry more for any fall out for my DSK's than anything the biomum could say or do to me.
I just use this place to vent....

Nay- I love your tatt, it is very pretty!
Aimz- exciting news about the MK stuff! You know my friend Carrie who is having the nappy party next week with you? Well she is also having a MK party later in the year! I wonder if you will be her consultant? I won't be able to make it to the nappy party on Wednesday so will have to meet you another time :crying: Your fathers day presents sound really lovely :thumbsup:
Ok, this is just a quick one as we are about to start watching another DVD (yes, at 11pm :rolleyes: ). I have made the mars bar cheesecake, it is setting in the fridge :chef: YUMMMM! (it took aaaages to make so it had better taste fantastic!)

Hi everyone, lovely to read up on all your posts. Love the tatt and the bling Nay. Both really pretty.
Aimz I hope you perk up, having those sorts of issues scares the crapola outta me.
I went to an "informal afternoon tea" hosted by the SIL of a very very preg lady. (ie the baby shower you have when you dont want to have a baby shower) and it was sooooooo nice. Lovely people not that i really knew any of them, Great champers, nice food, 50 million desserts, home made chai........ E and P nearly drove DH crazy at home so that made the afternoon all the more satisfying:devil6:
I would love to post more, but e and p are driving me batty and i need to get ready for the fish markets, hehehe Ducky I'll have a double helping of sashimi just for you eh.

I can't believe him, what a toss! I wrote him a goodbye sms, saying thanks for the memories, i wish his family well and i will never stop him from seeing leyla..... nothing back. I can't believe he doesn't even ask about her! What a low life scum bag i think! He would rather loose his supposed fianc'e and child rather than talk to me and sort things out! Sorry im just havin my daily rave lol.
Okay after that .... phew i feel betta now lol

:hugs: to you. He is such a child!! Seriously that sounds like something my 12yr old sister would do.. Vent away here when ever you like hun, do whatever it takes to put it behind you nd move on day to day.
I took one of the tablets I was given after my operation before bed last night coz I couldn't sleep (beyond over tired) and when I got up this morning I could barely walk in a straight line... I feel drunk.. It's weird. Think I might wake up Mark soon, tell him he can look after the kids while I go back to bed.. I'm just exhausted after this last week or Kai's night time drama's :sleeping:
I cant handle Zac's whinging and even Kai is getting on my nerves and it's only 8am :gloomy: I just need a day off..
Better go get Kai out of his high chair.

morning all.
Cris let me have a sleep in today :D, lina woke a few times last night, then she decided to wake the whole house at 5 this morning. I got up to feed her, then the other 2 woke up, so got them breakfast and said im back off to bed :D slept until 9 -lurvely!!!
Thanks for the chat last night ladies, had a lot of laughs!!
Linas just gone down (well 15mins ago) for her morning nap, but then i have to go and pick my mum up and take her home (shes at ipswich then need to drive her back to the northside.
Tash, I hope you can move on from Suat, you have given him alot of openings and he hasnt replied at all, the message that he has on his msn, is obviously very childish. Be strong - for you and Leyla, he is the one who is missing out on something so precious, but thats his choice. I understand that you want to receive some sort of reply from him, but he hasnt, and i dont think he will (from some of your posts).
Time to move on as hard as it may seem. :hugs:
Isnt it glorious seeing the sun out :D as much as i know we need this rain.

Tasha- I'm so sorry to hear that things haven't worked out with Suart. I hope one day he will wake up to himself and realise that he has missed out on 2 amazing girls in his life :hugs: How are things going with at home with your mum?
Nel- I hope you get a good sleep today and feel better. Sometimes it's really important to just have some time to yourself.
My laptop is giving me the poos :thumbsdown: It's not very old and it was a good one when we bought it but it seems to be slow and keeps freezing. I think we will buy a decent PC, but that will probably wait until the house sells, we need to save all our money atm.
My mars bar cheesecake turned out really good, it is very rich though.
Mason has just gone down for his morning nap now, very late for him. His grandpa was here visiting him this morning and he gets so excited and worked up when he sees him so there was no way he would sleep until he left lol. We are now down to only one bottle a day at bedtime :smiliedance:

She's asleep now again, but I got so much to do so this will unfortunately be short. x
My mars bar cheesecake turned out really good, it is very rich though.

Cheesecake sounds scrummy! Yummo! How did you ever get Mason to cut down to one/day?Faith still has 3. One on waking, one during the day and one before bed at night...

You're right, he is being a toss! I just want to give you a big hug and tell you everything is going to be fine. You will meet another love when you are ready and he will treat you and Leyla with the respect and admiration that you deserve. Hold your chin up darlin, you will move on, as painful as it is now. :hugs:

Great to hear you had a wonderful birthday Jess! Your kitchen sounds so tranquil xx
Aimz, hope things pick up for you darl. Sorry to hear about your friends mum too, that isn't good news at all. I hope she finds the strength to fight it again. Justin was meant to give up smoking when Faith was born, and I thought he had, but lately he has been coming home from work smelling like cigarettes, and he finally admitted that he has been sneaking the odd one or two. I can bet he had a few last night while he was away. It really annoys me that he too has weakened again, and doesn't have the gutts to do it in front of me, but is sneaky and does it behind my back :hair:
Ok really gotta go. Love to all BBL tonight xx

Hi Tash - maybe it's time to force his hand?
There would be two reasons to look into what I'm suggesting - one to force his hand, and the other to help you gain some more independence.
This is a big step, but maybe one you might want to take up to make him sit up and take notice and either take responsibility for Leyla or give you more closure. He's acting very immaturely and to him it may be a bit of a joke. He's never met Leyla, never held her and hasn't seen you for 2years.
This is my suggestion: child support when one of the parents live overseas (http://www.csa.gov.au/international/index.aspx)
I checked - and Turkey is a reciprocating country - it states that if the parent is residing in a reciprocating country, then Child Support Association of Australia can help administer child support for you. I don't like your chances of him liking this action if you take it, or voluntarily organising payment, but (correct me if I'm wrong), so far he has not given you any monetary support for Leyla, the only support he was giving you was emotional, and that's dried up.
This isn't about getting back at Suat or being spiteful or about you, it's about getting Leyla set up for her future. If money is the best that Suat can contribute, then that would be a good legacy for Leyla for a start.

Jac- it was pretty easy getting down to one bottle. A few weeks ago he was still having 3, I started by not giving him his afternoon bottle and instead giving him sort of like a 2nd lunch (yoghurt & fruit or similar), and then his morning bottle he weaned himself off. We were making it up and offering it to him but 3 days in a row he drank about 3 sucks of it and pushed it away and that was that! His night time one he still wants, he frantically tries getting the bottle in his mouth before I've even sat on the lounge with him :laughing:
Maybe just try getting Faith to drop her lunch time one and then after a week work on another? It may just be out of habit that she has it and not because she wants/needs it iykwim.
Anyway, I hope this helped!
Jac - thank you for you kind words - sometimes I feel like I'm floundering with the rest of them, but just muddle on.
Haylie - the marsbar cheesecake sounds great - do I dare ask for the recipe or is it a well kept secret?
Hm - can you tell I'm sitting here with not much of an idea what I should be doing?
ETA: Just finished my post and realised it turned into a long rant - so warning issued!!!
It's supposed to be my sleep in today, (I got up for DH to have a sleepin yesterday), but this morning he started coming into the room in an obvious attempt to wake me. So I got up and lo and behold, he's organised to go to his mums. That's fine, but of late, I've felt that his mum only sees us when it's convenient for them - pretty sure the stuff I tell her is too confronting and since I married into a family of ostriches, I'm a bit too forthright for them.
Did I tell you all how she rang me a month after K's birthday to ask what she could give her for her birthday - sheesh - if it's this bad at one, how will it be in years to come? I used to call her once a week, but whenever I rang, she'd end up cutting me short as she'd have a delivery to do or someone would be at the door (they run a business from home - giftware for nurseries). So thought I'd see how long before she called me....nothing.
Anyway - I have to go into work today - it's the uni's open day and I volunteered to man the stall from 2 till 4, so hubby was going to drop me there, go to his mum's with DSS, DS and DD and then pick me up - not much I could do there from 10 till 2 - it's work without being work on a Sunday..., so he's ended up taking all kids, and leaving me here to go in the bunky car when I need.
I should be happier about this - go back to bed or something(but it's already 11.15 here now), but can't help thinking his parents really don't like me too much (as I said - I tell it like it is and have told them a few home truths about their son and grandchildren which they probably don't appreciate, but in my defence, I've hit some breakdown level lows and have gone looking for support from people who should know what I'm going through.
Whatever, maybe I should give MIL a call this week and try not to mention the other two grandchildren or my husband and see if she talks, then leave it up to her to call and ask to see the kids - I've taken them to see her many times way out of my way. Whenever they come here it's on the way to doing a delivery, so they can't ever stay for long.
I hate that I feel like my job in my marriage was to bring my children into the world and to give DH some stability and support which he never got with his ex. But then I'm seen as too critical etc (like the fact that I was seen as too critical for wanting to get A assessed by speech - I was told I was too critical - and that he'll catch up - HELLO - I have worked in paediatrics for 15years - if a child has had some delays - they do not always just catch up - particularly if they have a neurological condition. Funny how hubby still says (even after I told him what the speechie said) that A's doing well considering his seizures, um yeah, but if we can help him catch up - shouldn't we, so he can cope better when he gets to school......
oh Pegs - you poor thing, please dont feel sorry for ranting.... in laws are hard at the best of times let alone in your situation (horrible word i know) i guess the thing you have to ask yourself is will it make ME feel better if I contact them.... this is what i had to ask myself wtih my dad, he was a constant negative force in my life (left mum when i was 13 for the lady he'd been seing for 3 years, told me i was going to go nowhere and cashed my university fund in, constantly told me i was fat - i was a mere 45kg then HA imagine if he saw me now...) he is and was a bully, thats the only word to describe it, how my beautiful mother ever loved him i dont know.... anyways i basically decided i would no longer contact him verbally however i would continue to send birthday, xmas cards photos etc... well he still hasnt met chloe but i know that i am the innocent party (besides being the CHILD, which you are too - you are their daughter in law, someone who is meant too be cherished and loved)..... i hope that makes sense....
same for you Tash - you have done everything you can, you are innocent!!!
Renee - i have a yummy chocolate cake just waiting for us :)
well today i did the baby and kids markets, they were great, al was home when i got home and his face is all scratched up and he doesnt remember a thing from last night - needless to say a huge chat was instore.... i basically told him that he is a fantastic father and hubby however when he goes out he needs to remember he still has a family at home (mind you he doesnt go out all that often, its just when he does its a bender) he said he had no answers and realises he is in the wrong, that he is quitting smoking when we go back to narrabri (his folks dont know, well they do cause i told themm lol but he would never ever smoke in front of them)... and that he will make more effort or get counselling in the bedroom area (we are still having issues....)
man i am so sorry that my post has turned into anotherh pity fest....
Haylie - tis a bummer i wont meet you! i need to meet all you lovely ladies!!! it wouldnt be me doing the mary kay party i still havent organised myself with that yet :rolleyes:
Jac - i know that al smokes at work too - and am sure since leaving council (where we both worked) that it is prob more too!!! i think i still find it hard in todays world that us mums are still the givers if that makes any sense at all.....
Tiny sounds like you had a lovely time , i think thats the number one thing i like about baby beehinds, i love the opportunity to meet like minded women, share stories and chat!! it is truly the best thing i have ever done!!! your posts inspire me, you are a very positive person!!!
well i am off to watch my name is earl, might eat some chocolate too :devil6:
Sorry quick selfish post ahead cos I smell one stinky kid....
Is it tonight that you are going out?
Certainly was.....
How did you go?? Hope you didnt cop a battering.. nothing worse than waking up with a hang over and a sore body!!
Yep woke up with both... lol...
Well we won our final in a nail biter and are through to the gf next weekend....
Had a huge night out..... ran an absolute muck reminiscent of younger days....danced up a storm...... pashed a few cute chickies :o ..... sent some inappropriate texts..... and had a barry blow up with Stevie who I'm not currently talking too.... and am well and truly over and done with!!!!
Will be back later to catch up once I've cleared this stench....

Hey chickaladas :p
Good work on the final, Kaz.. good luck with the grand final. And go you, out on the town. kissing up a storm! :p
Cobey's in a big boy bed tonight *sniff* I had a big sookie over it, even though he's still in our room (gradually getting him used to it/new routine). He seemed happy enough to fall asleep in it, within half an hour he was so asleep that I could turn the light on without him waking and he'd spat his dummy out.
*sniff* my wee widdle man.
I realised you haven't been bombarded in photos lately, so here we go.

As promised I am back.. but only for a short visit. DH got home in one piece, in time to see Faith before she went down so that's terriffic. She is staying at MIL's tomorrow nite as its our anniversary, so it will be another night he won't see her. Hope I cope, I will really miss her. I drop her off at 8am tomorrow and pick her up after work on Tuesday at around 5. :eek:

A few weeks ago he was still having 3, I started by not giving him his afternoon bottle and instead giving him sort of like a 2nd lunch (yoghurt & fruit or similar), and then his morning bottle he weaned himself off. We were making it up and offering it to him but 3 days in a row he drank about 3 sucks of it and pushed it away and that was that! His night time one he still wants, he frantically tries getting the bottle in his mouth before I've even sat on the lounge with him
Maybe just try getting Faith to drop her lunch time one and then after a week work on another? It may just be out of habit that she has it and not because she wants/needs it iykwim.
Anyway, I hope this helped!
Thank you soo much, I will definitely try that. My biggest problem is stopping MIL from giving her a bottle every time she has a nap or looks tired when she has her on Mons and Tues. I discussed it with DH tonight and I am not even going to pack a bottle for her anymore when I go to work. She can have the one when she wakes and then one b4 bed.. so no need to pack one. I will be furious if she gives her one of the other kids bottles!! :banghead: My MIL drives me crazy sometimes.. sorry if you haven't already noticed. I love what she does for us (we do pay her $50/day to have Faith BTW) but she is just so stubborn and doesn't listen to my requests.. at all!
well today i did the baby and kids markets, they were great, al was home when i got home and his face is all scratched up and he doesnt remember a thing from last night - needless to say a huge chat was instore.... i basically told him that he is a fantastic father and hubby however when he goes out he needs to remember he still has a family at home (mind you he doesnt go out all that often, its just when he does its a bender) he said he had no answers and realises he is in the wrong, that he is quitting smoking when we go back to narrabri (his folks dont know, well they do cause i told themm lol but he would never ever smoke in front of them)... and that he will make more effort or get counselling in the bedroom area (we are still having issues....)
man i am so sorry that my post has turned into anotherh pity fest....
Jac - i know that al smokes at work too - and am sure since leaving council (where we both worked) that it is prob more too!!! i think i still find it hard in todays world that us mums are still the givers if that makes any sense at all.....
Not a pity fest at all. Its all relevant, and we are here to listen. Glad to hear you really enjoy your nappy outings, it seems like they provide you with some nice adult time, and a place to be yourself and relax while having fun and making money at the same time. I really hope that Al goes to counselling if he feels he needs it. It opens the doors to communcation which are sometimes otherwise bolted shut. I hear you about the smoking and I truly hope he gives up soon. :fingerscrossed: My dh will do the same. I am so sick of threatening him.. it really upsets me.
Sorry quick selfish post ahead cos I smell one stinky kid....
Certainly was.....
Yep woke up with both... lol...
Well we won our final in a nail biter and are through to the gf next weekend....
Had a huge night out..... ran an absolute muck reminiscent of younger days....danced up a storm...... pashed a few cute chickies ..... sent some inappropriate texts..... and had a barry blow up with Stevie who I'm not currently talking too.... and am well and truly over and done with!!!!
Will be back later to catch up once I've cleared this stench....
:smiliedance: Hooray for winnning your game!! So glad to hear you had a great night out.. its been ages since I've danced up a storm.. would love to do it again sometime soon.
Anyways off to work tomorrow and then out tomorrow night, so probably won't be back in the land of HUB until Tues PM.. if I am lucky. Stay gorgeous until then xxx

Hi everyone,
seems to have been some bigs posts since I last logged on, I'll most likely forget something. But with you lot I'm sure someone else will make up for it anyway.
Pegs: that is a completely 2nd rate effort on your MILs part. I'd call her too...but gee whiz I can see why you get annoyed.
Chin up Tash, you are a great strong lady. pooey to Suat.
Thanks Aimz, I am generally upbeat. I guess I just have plenty to be happy about and not a lot of anything negative. I have always lived by the be positive and positive things come to you ethos llooooonnngggg before it became trendy.
It was such a nice day today, we went to the fishmarkets and the Rocks. There was a free band playing and we sat and ate subway and corn on the cob and listened to the band. E and P just loved it. They danced and clapped more than at Dorothy the Dinosaur. hmmmm I wonder if under 3's get into Homebake for free..........might be onto something here.
Haylie can I please have the cheesecake recipe? I haven't baked anything for a few weeks now and I need a fix.
Seek love Cobe's bed (where'd you get the sheets?) he is such a big boy.
cheers Lufflies hope all your kids sleep through the night.

hiya ladies.
Nikki, love the pics, cobes looks cute in his bed.
TS, glad you had a great day out. We are planning (hopefully) something for next weekend. The girls are hanging out for a boat ride, so who knows yet.
Jac, hope you dont miss Faith too much, but i know you will :hugs:
Pegs, i cant believe your MIL forgot K's birthday.
Kaz, congrats on winning the match, hope you also win the GF. glad to hear that you had a good night afterwards too.
I have a certain little miss, who does not want to sleep. she went down earlier, but has been awake since 845. oh well i suppose she should sleep well tonight.

Hi ladies!
OK, this is going to have to be quick, I'm desperately trying to keep my dinner in my belly...
Well, I was feeling well enough for work on Friday but about 10 minutes from work I look in the mirror at Nix to see her vomiting weetbix and banana EVERYWHERE! My sis (who works at the same place) met me downstairs and we were trying not to hurl ourselves as we cleaned and undressed Nix in the parking lot. She got a lot of stares in her nappy lol. Then she had some god awful diarhoea (?) so I had to change her in our boardroom and she took off and got poo on the carpet... aaarrgghh. Not the best start back after being off sick for 3 days. So I had to take her home and sent her and gav to the docs while I finally got to work about 11am. Nix has an ear infection and gav has tonsilitis, they both have the flu too. How did my household become such a germ fest?
So yesterday Nix spent most of the morning in my arms asleep while I watched the sex in the city dvd's i got for my bday. Was gorgeous but she was so sad and unwell it broke my heart. She had three long naps and then in the early evening she was giving me a cuddle on the couch and threw up all over me, the couch and our blanket. Gav grabbed her while I was girly screaming and she threw up some more on the floor. So we had a shower together and she spent the whole time with her little arms around my neck whimpering into my shoulder. She's been better today but is now so clingy it's getting hard to do stuff! What a weekend...
Aimz - I agree with you on the smoking front, I actually told gav i would divorce him if he didn't quit... You sound like it's all happening for you at the moment, congrats!
Nay - I missed the bling shot, can you email me? Love the tat, really suits you! Don't scratch it when it's healing though otherwise the colour becomes patchy.
Tash - sigh, men! Hope things get better at home for you too. At least Leyla's not boring! When is your paed appt?
Pegs - how cool that you looked up that stuff even with everything going on in your life!
Shea - I keep forgetting to ask, can you pm your website?
Jess - belated happy birthday! Sounds like you had a great day.
Hm, development question - is Nix the only one that doesn't talk properly? She can only really say mum, dad, ta and baby that I can make out. She sits there sounding like she's telling you something, with inflections and voice variations and hand gestures, but it's pure gibberish! Should I be taking her to see someone?
OK, feeling really queasy now ladies, I've gotta go... Big hello to everyone I've missed. Mwah xxx

Oh Nikki, Cobey is just so damn cute! I was sad looking at the bed photo too- OUR BABIES HAVE GROWN UP WAAYY TO QUICK!!!! :crying: His bed linen is gorgeous, where did you get it from?
Kaz- I forgot to say earlier congrats on making the grand final!
Jac- wow, I can't believe your MIL doesn't listen to your requests with what you want done with Faith :mad:. Sounds like a good idea not packing a bottle. Enjoy your anniversary night with DH ;)
TS- good to hear you had a great day today. I will PM that recipe to you.
Karen- OMG what a week & weekend you have had! I hope you are all better soon, poor little Nixie, I was sad reading about how sick she was. She says WAY more than Mason does so I wouldn't be too worried about the speech thing (although I know it is very hard NOT to worry).
:wave:

Evening ladies!
Really should be in bed as I have a full day of work tomorrow... but I love you guys too much not to say hi!!
Firstly, where's Kel?..... Hope all is ok...
Karen, hope the bugs all leave your house asap. Nothing worse than when our babes are sick. Take care of yourself xxx No idea about the speech stuff sorry...
TS, I was actually talking to DH today about how I've decided to 'refresh' my focus and become more positive again! How funny! Glad you had great day today!
Tash, I've been meaning to say, Luci has a slight heart murmur and we took her to a child-heart specialist and he just said that her heart is perfect with a noise. I hope you get the same outcome with Leyla. Big hugs to you too with the whole Suat thing. Have a look into the info from Pegs, if not for you then definitely for your Leyla.
Kaz, so lovely to hear that you had a great night and that you won your game!! Not talking to Stevie?.... Sounds interesting....
Jac, wishing you a brilliant anniversary tomorrow. I've been meaning to ask how the counseling has been going for you and your DH. Hope all is well.
Aimz, thinking of you hon xxx
Seek, Cobes looks soooo small in his big bed. Can't believe how big our darlings are getting.
Pegs, just wanted to say you're a star for finding out that info for Tash! What would we do without you?!
Wanted to share that we had a similar incident with DH smoking behind my back... in short, about 5 years ago now I went away for an audition and when he kissed me when I got back I tasted it... I asked him and he denied it. Then about 5 hrs later told me the truth... I was soooo mad....trusting him was hard for a while, but now he hates it so much and we've moved on. I hope it works out for you lovelies.
Took Miss L up to the hospy tonight. She had a rash on her chest yday and it was still there tonight and had spread... I showed Mum and she just said to follow my gut. I decided seeing as she's been sick and has day care tomorrow to check it out.... she's fine, it's just a rash that's part of this flu... but feels good to put my mind at ease.
Ok, this is heaps longer than I'd planned. Have a good night everyone xxxx
P.S. Still waiting on more bdays for my list, pm me when you get the chance. Ta muchly xxx
oh Pegs - you poor thing, please dont feel sorry for ranting.... in laws are hard at the best of times let alone in your situation (horrible word i know) i guess the thing you have to ask yourself is will it make ME feel better if I contact them....
Thanks for that Aimz - I think I'd be contacting her to make her feel better for the kids. We'd actually discussed originally she'd buy some bedroom stuff for K, then I gave her another suggestion of a block trolley - even told her the one in Target as I bought one for my nephew and know it's a lot sturdier than the one A had. She actually bought K a walk/ride lion thing which is pretty much the same as the hippo walk/ride thing we already have (which picks up blocks). So why bother asking my advice in the first place?
Had a huge night out..... ran an absolute muck reminiscent of younger days....danced up a storm...... pashed a few cute chickies :o ..... sent some inappropriate texts..... and had a barry blow up with Stevie who I'm not currently talking too.... and am well and truly over and done with!!!!
Will be back later to catch up once I've cleared this stench....
Hmm - sounds like you had a good time. Imagine the party if you win the finals - haha.
Wow that is fantastic advice. That's so wonderful that you took the time to research that. Again, I take my hat off to you, you're a wonderful, wonderful lady. We are so lucky to have you as our friend.
You're so sweet - I guess my looking into things for other people allows me to achieve some of the stuff that I can't achieve for myself.
Pegs, i cant believe your MIL forgot K's birthday.
.
See - I know she didn't forget (she texted me the day of her birthday)- I think she's so worried about doing the right thing and not stepping on anyone's toes that she didn't want to buy the wrong thing.
Haylie - great recipe - will have to try it later when I get a chance to. Mum's talking about doing something for father's day next week, so may see if I can get around to do it for then.
Tash - I'll pm you in a sec, hope things go right for you - just know we try to be here for you, but sometimes I know it'd be easier if we could sit and chat over a real coffee. (or a wine:D )
Nikki - wow - the big bed. I didn't put A into one till we came home from hospital with K:o (so he was 2). Heck she's still backward facing in the car (waiting till she's 9kg), so don't know when I'll get her into a bed. He looked very gorgeous
Karen - wow - what a weekend. Here's hoping Nix is doing better now. It's so awful when they're sick.
As for the speech - from what you've written, it sounds like her speech is fine - here's something I thought I'd put up before about talking on time - it's from a speechie friend I used to work with (the pamphlet is "Is your baby talking on time? a checklist for children under one" - I'll only do from 8months on...
8months - join in games like "pat-a-cake" and "peek-a-boo". Likes nursery rhymes and music
9months - look at picures for up to one minute. Copy sounds
10months - say "ch-ch", "da-da", or "ma-ma". Shake the head for "no"
11months - understand "put that down" "where's the ball?"
12months - say one, two or three words. Follows simple 1step intructions with gesture.
K seems to have mama, bubba, down pat, but no dada - funny really. She copies lots of sounds, and said nana after I gave her one (a banana, not a grandma LOL) a couple of weeks ago and then copied yummy. I think if you went to a speechie at this point they'd just give you some pointers about copying back sounds, singing nursery rhymes (as an OT I'd be telling you to do the action ones), and playing games. One of the first words they'll try to encourage in a therapy session is more = build a tower - ask for more, blow some bubbles - ask for more, eat some food - ask for more...you get the picture.
Okay I know I promised you all some developmental stuff a few weeks ago - obviously time for me to pull my finger out and do it as I've ended up doing it for speech stuff which isn't my speciality.
So I'm committing myself to do a 12-18month old activities list before the end of the week.
Thanks to all of you for your kind words - had a bit of a venty week, but doing okay.
Hugs to all with sick bubba (or sick mummas).
xx
Sorry I don't mean to sound ignorant of previous posts or anything. As usual little ol me comes in with no personals..you still love me right? It's ok if you don't I understand :yes:
Just checking in, would lurve to read back in the thread one of these days.
Shaiyan started walking a while back and Ethan has finally got the courage up to let go of objects and walk too. How cute is it to see your toddlers, toddle around?!
Ry is humungous, he was weighed like two weeks ago, around 8 / 9 weeks mark and he was 6.1 kilos my goodness! Corey turns 5 in 3 days so looking forward to celebrating the milestone. It means I have been a mama for 5 years....that's a long time full of mischief and tantrums but you get that.
How is everyone and kiddos going? Any news?
Oh Lollie - of course we still love you and totally understand about no personals.
Glad to hear you seem to be doing well - how are your parents?
Great to hear you've got two toddlers there (I think mine is the only one that hasn't really walked yet, but I'm still pretty sure she'll walk earlier than her brother did)
a fifth birthday - how fantastic, then a 8weeker at 6kg - wow.
You're always welcome in here - we love to hear how you and your four are going.
Hi Lollie! Wonderful to hear from you!! :D Thanks for popping in.
Cobey's currently walking to the nappy box, taking nappies out, putting them on the chair, walking back to the box. Little ratbag.
He slept until about 10 in his bed and woke up high as a kite, laughing and squealing... then.. do you think I could get him back to sleep???? Ended up in both of us in tears as he was over tired and so was I!! But we got him to sleep and he slept until his normal 3... it was great to cuddle Chris in my sleep!! and then he came over to our bed.
The doona linen was on special from Best & Lest ($10!!) and the sheets - again on special, $10 from Spotlight. :D

Morning all
Evening ladies!
Tash, I've been meaning to say, Luci has a slight heart murmur and we took her to a child-heart specialist and he just said that her heart is perfect with a noise. I hope you get the same outcome with Leyla. Big hugs to you too with the whole Suat thing.
Thanks Mich, yeah im sure that's all it will be in leyla's case too. How is Miss L doing now, hope she is okay and her rash has cleared up.
Hi ladies!
Tash - sigh, men! Hope things get better at home for you too. At least Leyla's not boring! When is your paed appt?
Lol that's for sure :laughing: Yeah things are much better at home for me thanks. How are you?
I hope ur pregnancy is going well. How is Nixie doing now, i hope shes feeling better!
Sounds like you had a great day TS sounds like alot of fun! Hows P going at swimming? I just joined leyla up again she starts next friday.
H- Your cheesecake sounds so good! The richer the better i say lol, my mum makes this marble choc cheese cake mmm i want some now lol. Hows that gorgeous lol man of urs?
[quote=pegasus;1835532]Hi Tash - maybe it's time to force his hand?
Thanks again Pegs :hugs: Im going to look into it today, I was thinking about it for the last few weeks. No he wont like it but he has no choice if he has to, he can't just have a child with me and abbandon us with no support. Thanks so much xx
Kazz- Hey Chicky sounds like u had a great night out :smiliedance: ! Hows work going? How is Pip?
Seek- OMG i can't get over that u have Cobes sleeping in his own bed! Wow great job! What a good lil boy you have there. Leyla is sooo far off sleeping in her own bed lol.
Kel- Hope ur okay hun

Real quickie to apologise for being so ABSENT over the weekend. I have two really sick boys and now have woken up with the flu myself. Last night Ham's temp was 39.2 and he'sgenerally about the 35 mark, plus he was coughing loads and making delirious type comments - very scary! Am off to docs soon... needless to say I haven't read a word and have no idea what's going on!
:wave:

27-08-2007, 09:37
Good morning!
Mich- how is Luci's rash this morning? Scary stuff! Glad it was nothing serious.
Pegs- thanks for that speech stuff. It is very handy having a guru amongst us!
WHERE IS KEL??? She is probably at work today but we didn't hear from her over the weekend so I hope all is well. Or maybe her & Ady are too busy making a baby brother or sister for Angel ;) !!!
Hi Lollie! Weird, I was just thinking this morning that you haven't popped in for awhile. We totally understand, I don't know how you do it with 4 kids under 5 :eek: Good to hear everything is going well with them xo
Rach- get better soon :hugs: Let us know how you go at the Dr with Hamish. How scary!
Hi Tash! Mason is doing really well thanks for asking. He was a little bit naughty yesterday getting into everything but has been a good boy so far today.
He has just woken up from his nap, we are heading into town to get another photo printed for the fathers day pressie, I have decided I don't like one of them in the frame so getting another one done. I am a perfectionist :laughing:
Hope you are all having a great day xoxo
Cobey's in a big boy bed tonight
Asleep in bed (http://flickr.com/photos/nikki_m/1238020749/)
That is the exact same bed that Zac had besides the colour.. Seriously hun, be careful with the bed head bit. I woke up one night to Zac screaming, he'd wiggled up the bed in his sleep and got his head stuck in the bars. He'd slid down into the narrower part so he couldn't get out. Was very scary. I ended up making a cover that slipped over the bed head til he was a bit bigger. (he was in a bed by 12mnths)

This is the last week of renovations, bank valuer goes through next monday and everything has to be spot on!
Thank god the rain has stopped, now we can install a rainwater tank lol.
My little darling Bradley is becoming more confident with his walking and has managed 8steps by himself without any falls, I am soo proud of him as is Vince.
Anyway I had best be off to do some work then over to the house to check everything is going smoothly.

YAY Bradley! Clever little man. I hope your reno's go ok Rachael :fingerscrossed:
Haylie those photo's are gorgeous!! Mason is just adorable.
Yay for Bradley walking!!
I managed to get a bit of a sleep.. Kai woke up so I shoved Mark out of bed and told him to go get bubba... Five minutes later he dumps Kai on top of me 'wake up mummy' style :banghead: Not impressed.. Why take the day off work 'so mummy can have a break' then do stupid things like that.. He asked me five minutes later, did you want to sleep longer? I said yeah but I'm awake now aren't I :mad:
He wanted to know if I feel sick and I said 'No I am tired, I havent had a full nights sleep in approx. 2yrs and this last month while Kai has been sick or teething or both has finally caught up on me..
They just dont understand..
Hi everyone!
It's been so hard to catch up with you all. The kitchen renos are going very slowly as DH is doing them... he has moved our internet stuff so for a while I could only get online sporadically... I have tried to catch up with everything but it's hard!
Naybob, love the tat, it's gorgeous. I am too wussy to get one.
Tash - sorry about Suat. It must be so hurtful, he sounds very immature. Maybe the difference in culture has made it really hard to work anything out, plus the distance. I hope for bubba's sake he gets over it and tries to make an effort as when she grows up and wants to find him, he will realise what he's thrown away.
Rach - hope you are all well soon. Touchwood, we haven't had the flu yet.
Gee I'm tired, I have had a home day to take it easy ( I usually do the shopping) but there has been so much cleaning to do. The renos are getting dust everywhere and DH is leaving out tools, packaging, nails etc. and it's driving me nuts. The kitchen is also our family room so I have to dash about and clear up so bubba doesn't get into stuff. Rant rant....:hair:
Eliana has really bad nappy rash too, so we've had lots of nappy free time and puddles!
DD's school had a photography fundraiser on Saturday so I'm looking forward to our new photos.
On Wednesday night we have a snazzy cocktail do for DH's work at a posh place in Perth. So on Saturday I went dress shopping. I found a lovely silver dress and I was really nervous about buying it as we've spent lots on the renos. So I called DH on my mobile and talked him into it... at the till the woman said that it was 60% off so the dress was under $100.... enough of a saving to buy some little silver kitten heels :D I haven't been to a posh work do before so I'm a bit nervous...

Hi ladies.
Sorry to read of all the sick bubbas, i do hope they all get better soon.
Renovations to bessie and racheal, hope they end for you soon enough.
Karen, sorry to hear about nixies upchucking. Its awful when they have the gastro. But its worse when dealing with gastro whilst pregnant.
H- love the pics of Mason,Im just in love with his eyes!!! gorgeous
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO JAC & JUSTIN :hugs:

Ive got to go to work earlier tomorrow starting at 8, so need to be out of the house by 645 :eek: never done that with the 3, so hopefully it will all go to plan.

Happy anniv to Jac an Justin!!! (Be good kiddies!)
Went to Aimee's today and saw her and the gorgeous Chloe! B and Chloe had a ball!!! They even had the same sippy cup, so we had a few little quarrels over them! Isn't it just amazing how much all of our bubbas have grown up!
Also went past the Hyperdome on our way home and bought a new TomTom GPS! Woohoo! Was obviously jealous of Amiee having one in her nice new car! ;)

Hi mum_inlove welcome to the overly chatty bunch (and you all know who you are!!)
Sorry i haven't done many personals, i feel bad! :( But, i do have now two births coming up (one due really soon) and a possible home water birth. so keep :fingerscrossed: for me on that one.
I have been jumping between hospitals today to see how receptive they all are. i have found out the the hosp where i had connor have done a complete flip around and are now people friendly! Hopefully this will mean no more women end up like i did!
all this baby talk has been making me sooo overly clucky, maybe i'm ovulating........ on that note :wave: hehehehehe :D
Hi Anggy! :D I just saw you on the other thread (about wrong scans) a bubba born on Lloyd's birthday was meant-to-be-a-boy but now is a wee bubba girl as well. Funny!! I guess it's bound to happen with more and more people finding out the sex.
I see you're in Yeppoon! My geography teacher taught us to remember it by saying "It's wot u eat your powwige wif" :p (but he was a big dork)
We chat a lot. And I'm tired so I'm chatting heaps more than normal.

Well, I'll try to keep it short and simple as I can babble all day and all night..:laughing: I'm 24, 30 weeks pregnant with our #2, which could be a girl and living in yeppoon for the next 2 years due for dh's work commitment. I love it here but I also can't wait to go back to brissy..
Lloyd was born on 17/7/06, he's now walking, almost running, trying to jump, and dancing, it looks soo cute. He loves balls,food and bath..Could be very clingy,especially to mummy..But overall a very good, easy boy with occassionally bad days..He hasn't talk much or say too many words, but he's getting better. But he still doesn't say mummy..Will he ever??
Anyway, that's all I can think of for now..but you'll see me here often..:wave:

Hey ladies
Big Welcome to Mum-in-love! My Lach's b'day is the same day as Lloyd's - how cool! There's other too, but I'm naughty now and have a real bad memory and although I think I know who's bubba it is, I'can't be sure, so I'm not gonna say!! Think there's actually two others (plus yours makes three)! Can you tell I'm slowing loosing it? Honestly I'm not always this crazy... ask the others.
Anyway Hi everyone else... my boys have been cranky ****es all day and I am soooooooooooo behind in everything I need to do. Have quickly scanned through and am probably not going to remember anything realy important .:shame:
Maria - good luck getting out the house - you will be Supermum in my opinion if you do. Hey, with three, you already are.
Rach and Bessie - good luck with the renos - I don't evny you at all.
Tash - I grew up without my dad, who to be honest sounds a bit like Suat. I met him whn I was seventeen but had such a brilliant mum that I didn't really need him. If he's like that, you and your girl are so better off without him. Pegs has some good advice...
Anyway really should shower and sleep! Hope everyone is happy.
Goodluck to those who are tcc... everyday I come on here looking for news... and hope those gorgeous pregnant mums are doing well.
Sweet dreams ladies

I'm a little bit late..But Can I still join in this group?
:wave: Hi Anggy! Bianca was one of the others also born on the 17th, the other lil girl is Faith, her mum Jac's username is Faithful. B is also running instead of walking most of the time, and squeals very cheekily (hehe is that a word?) and runs off when you try to get something off her. Even when she 'ta's' it to you first! :laughing: Is your DH in the army or something?
Honestly I'm not always this crazy... ask the others.
Oh, and just quietly, she is this crazy, just don't let her know that we've caught onto it! :devil6:
Hi all
It's a work night - so a quickie tonight..
mum_inlove - welcome - always glad to see a new face - some of the others here are getting a bit old:p (oh please don't be offended, we do poke fun at each other a fair bit) We love each other really:o
Kel - hope all is good with you - miss your smiling face
Rach - big hugs for you with sick boys - hope they kick it soon. Can you let us know when you're next in Perth and able to do a meet?
Bessie - yay for the bargain dress and the opportunity for heels!!! - Make sure you post pics. Must make meet soon - maybe not next week but week after? Nel?
MD - hope you're doing better with the MS and such.
HIGA - big hugs for you too - hope you get some sleep tonight.
That's all for me for now:wave:
I'm a little bit late..But Can I still join in this group? My little man, Lloyd, was born on july 06..Hi to everyone
Hi and welcome:wave: Congratulations on your pregnancy.
Bessie, make sure you post a photo of you all deck out in your snazzy dress
Maria, have fun getting out of the house that early, i don't normally get out of my PJ's till around 10am :o
Seek, hope you had a better night last night.
Rach, good to hear from you, sounds like things are pretty crazy in your house hold.
Lunch on sunday was good, didn't really get to many answers, but the other big boss is coming out to see sean next week so :fingerscrossed: we can get something in concert about what is going on.
The boys are going good. Bodhi still hasn't fully gotten rid of this cough, he has an appointment on friday to check out his ear so i will bring it up again and see what he says. He has had it for about 6 weeks now.
Nix got another tooth yesterday so he now has 7 teeth :smiliedance:

I decided yesterday morning was stressful enough to warrant making that mars bar cheesecake, we were getting ready for swimming and I was busy with bags and things and E came up to me and said
"Paddy, custy, head" (custy means custard/yogurht)
than comes Mr P toddling along screaming in delight with his head completely covered in yoghurt, rubbed in and everything.
Little buggers.
The cake is yummmy, but Haylie is there any food in the world that could be worse for you? Thanks for sharing your recipe, my family loved it.
Welcome Anggy, love your lil guys name.
see y'all later

I think I'm gonna have a bit of trouble remembering who's who. I already have a not very good memory, and with pregnancy, it's just getting worse..:laughing:
My husband is not in the army. He works in an electrical wholesaler in rockhampton that supplies stuff to the mines..
Lloyd's been up early this morning, like 6 or something, luckily he was happy playing in his cot..But now it's only 7.45am, and he looks tired already..I've been trying to teach him to say 'ta' for months now..He understands the meaning of it..He'll give us whatever he has in his hand if we say 'ta' to him. But if he wants something from us, and we asked him to say 'ta', he'll literally turn and just walk away..As if to say 'buggar you, i'd rather just go without'..:eek: Rude little man...:laughing:
Oh TinyStar the marsbars cheesecake sounds sooo good. When you have a spare time, would you be able to pm the recipe to me? Thank you..:thumbsup:

hey gorgeous ladies *hug hug kiss kiss* thankyou so much for caring about where i was, tis very nice to feel wanted. i'm good, i worked yesterday adn then on Sun night i coudln't get on cause of some error. i actually save my post so i wouldn't forget anything HEHEHE!!! now it's all old so i'll jsut start from here, hehe.
Did I tell you all how she rang me a month after K's birthday to ask what she could give her for her birthday - sheesh - if it's this bad at one, how will it be in years to come?
you're such a wonderful person taht you shouldn't have to put up with that cr@p. :hugs: i know it's hard but stay positive, whatever she does - she is the one missing out on everything in the kids lives. if she was a bit more open-minded she'd see that your sk's were great kids also and she would benefit for being in all their lives a bit more. all you can do is try and be happy in the knowledge that you're not the one holding your kids back from getting to know her, xxoo.
in laws are hard at the best of times let alone in your situation (horrible word i know) i guess the thing you have to ask yourself is will it make ME feel better if I contact them....
you're such a strong wonderful person. you have not had the best childhood by the sounds of it, but you're the most wonderful mumma that Chloe could have, you should be very proud of the eprson you are and what you achieve :kiss:
Well we won our final in a nail biter and are through to the gf next weekend....
Had a huge night out..... ran an absolute muck reminiscent of younger days....danced up a storm...... pashed a few cute chickies ..... sent some inappropriate texts..... and had a barry blow up with Stevie who I'm not currently talking too.... and am well and truly over and done with!!!!
:smiliedance: that's great that you mae the grandfinal!! and well done on having a graet night out. what happened with Stevie?? come on you gotta spill now!! anything gonna come of the other chickadees??
Cobey's in a big boy bed tonight *sniff* I had a big sookie over it, even though he's still in our room (gradually getting him used to it/new routine). He seemed happy enough to fall asleep in it, within half an hour he was so asleep that I could turn the light on without him waking and he'd spat his dummy out.
*sniff* my wee widdle man.
awww, that's great!! i still haven't tried Angel in hers yet, which reminds me that i gotta get a photo for you ladies. we are actually gonna get someone to paint it soo, so i might wait til the whole room is finished. i'll show you what we did in the nursery, we did it ourselves and i'm quite proud of it!! (mind you, this was done way back about 14mths ago :laughing: )
I discussed it with DH tonight and I am not even going to pack a bottle for her anymore when I go to work. She can have the one when she wakes and then one b4 bed.. so no need to pack one. I will be furious if she gives her one of the other kids bottles!!
firstly HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! hope you had a great night!!
secondly - does your MIL actually expect you to pay her??!! Ady's mum would not take any money from me even though i tried. sorry, if i'm out of line and i don't mean it to sound rude, but she should have Faith for the fact taht she gets to spend time with her granchild!! and hopefully she gets the hint about the bottles.
ok, off to do more multi-quotes and another post!!
