WA New chat thread

[sugar n spice]

I thought the other wa chat was going quiet and getting abit long at 612 pgs so i have started a new one.

here is the last post by jude

Hi guys! And welcome to all of the newbies!

Sorry i haven't been on in a while. One of the forums I go on got hacked into, and the person who did it sent a virus to all of the users. Yay for me. NOT!!! It has completely stuffed my computer, and I have to buy another one. So I'm currently sitting in Stu's office at work and using his net. Will be getting a new computer next week hopefully.

Brion's ear infection has cleared, and so has his cold. However the big baby ( Stu) is still sick, and I've only JUST got better. Brion and I had our flu shots yesterday. Brion was a brave boy and didn't cry at all.

The cat however has a bucket on his head. The cat next door had a go at him again, and he got bitten near his tail. It got infected overnight, and he's been on antibiotics all week, and he's been bashing into stuff the whole time because of the bucket.

When we were at the vets, I stuck Brion on the dog scales and had him weighed. At nearly 11 months he is now 13 kgs ( I took off 100gms for his clothes). I tell you what though, you feel all 13 kgs when arrying him around. My back is looking forward to the day he starts walking!! LOL

I hope everyone is doing well, and that all of the sick bubs and parents get better soon! Hopefully I will get to see you at my place at next weeks meet.

Well we havent been up to much here. Got great news that we have been able to get that extra month on our lease to stay here while our house is being built. that was a sigh of relief as it was going to be sooo hard to find a short term rental. You see the house we are renting the owner were holidaying around the world but they have decided to stay away an extra month so perfect for us.

Ethan is slowly or should i say quickly driving me insane with his stubborness and talking back:banghead: .

Grae lives and breathes work at the moment its like hes never home even when he is iykwim.

stay well gals and will catch up again soon i hope:wave:

[clairereid]

Hi All,
Rachel - a new thread was a good idea as the last one was getting way toooo long!!
Welcome to everyone new to the forum and sorry I havnt been round much lately. Aiden has cut out his am nap ao I have twice as much work to do when he goes down in the pm.
It was nice to see the girls and bubs who turned up to the park today, I cant believe how big everyone has got (the babies that is!) and I especially cannot believe how well Super Aiden behaved! I didint have to run after him once! WOW WOW WOW He was so good he even got a small ice cream to share with Mummy (there is always a catch)
Well better go and do some more work!!

chat soon
Bye c :smiliedance:

Hey Everyone
Is anybody there?? we have all been so quiet recently. I have been busy working and watching monkey boy 24/7.
What is everybody up too?
Aiden is fine too, he is getting so big and cheeky but so cute at the same time. Yesterday morning I went to get him from bed and he had removed his sleepsuit and his DIRTY nappy! Judging by the state of his hands and face he had a good taste! YUK!!!! Dont worry he has been bathed about 10 times since ha ha ha
silly Aiden
Hope your all well

[Bellamyn]

Hi Girls

Thought I'ld join in the chat as I am now a mummy!!! My little girl was 3 weeks old yesterday.
It has gone so fast, but it seems like she has been with us 4eva!

Hope everyone is well & I look forward to getting to know you all.

Bella

[clairereid]

Hi Girls
OKAY Rachel, what does BFP and AF mean???? sorry not being from OZ I struggle with these abbreviated words!! Should I be saying Congrats???? OMG (see Im learning)
c x x

[clairereid]

PS Hello and Welcome to Bella and Kate.
Kate - my friend has a boy and girl close in age and they constantly fight, over everything, they are a bit older so sorry to tell you but I dont think it gets better!!
Bella - Congrats on becoming a Mummy and what a lovely picture. How are you finding everything? Are you getting much sleep? I know I wasnt at that stage.

Bye x x

[sugar n spice]

BFP = big fat positive
HPT = home pregnancy test ( i know you didnt ask for that one but i included it since they go hand in hand)
AF = i dont know exactly but it means your menstural flow, period etc

[sarah81]

Congratulations Rachael :smiliedance: Hope the whole pregnancy goes smoothly for you.

Hi there everyone else, we are at home today waiting for a Dr's appt as Toby has a temperature.

Claire - Aiden is certainly growing up, matt did the nappy trick I am so glad that DP saw it and cleaned it up not me :barf:

Kate - my boys are almost 1 and 3 and the little one is already grabbing things from my older DS. I can't imagine what they are going to be like when they are older!

Congratulations to Bella too, hope you getting some sleep and feeding and everything is going well. Its funny how your life suddenly revolves around how well bubs is eating, sleeping etc :yelclap:

Take care, Sarah

[sarah81]

AF = Aunty Flo meaning period. I think, correct me if I am wrong :o

[clairereid]

Aunty Flo??? I have never heard of that ha ha
Rachel - Congrats!!! I am very happy for you. I know it was maybe a shock, but how do you feel? How far aong are you? Are you praying for a little girl this time?? Im soooooo happy for you!
Sarah - How is little Toby? I hope he is better. I just found a cuddle dog Aiden has called Toby, he is so cute and soft and Aiden has been taking him everywhere.
Right, must go and do some work now

Bye all x x x

[munchkin05]

Does anyone else have boys that just fight all day?? They are driving me INSANE:banghead:
:


well just thought i would share i have to step sons ones 15 and the other is 7 plus we have bubba ben and the to oldest fight all the time sometimes you feel like hitting your head against a brick wall the amount of times you tell then to stop and then them not listening i might aswell talk to the washing machine cause i think it would listen more

but i guess one day they will grow out of it :fingerscrossed:

on another note its my boys first birthday in like 5 weeks and im excited and sad and everything in between cause where has my little baby gone

hope everyones having a good day :wave:

[Mrs Little]

Hi All.

Just thought i'd pop in have a chat with you all.

My DH, DS and I currently live in NSW, Sydney West. I am a Sydney girl and so is hubby, but my whole family live in WA ( Warnbro & Wickham- spread out i know!!).

DH and i have been tempted on a number of occasions to make the move to WA. The first time we couldn't get him a job. The second time we found out i was pregnant, so to move would be too many changes all at once.

DS is 7 months now, and we are considering making the move to WA. I don't know if it will be soon or in a years time.

It's really OVERWHELMING trying to think about how to do it all. My main concern is to find DH and I a job. I'm a primary school teacher with a number of years experince but would dearly love to have a part time permenant teaching job, so i can stay home and look after DS. I don't know where to start looking in order to find jobs in a school- i would be able to work in private christian schools too. We would be living in Warnbro.

My Dh wouldn't mind staying home instead either. But he would still need a part time job. He is a youth worker or carer- he currently works for Banardos and has a diploma in community services. He is studying part time trying to finish his Degree in counselling/youth work. I'm not sure what Uni's are around Warnbro or even in Perth. Do you think they would give him academic credit for the study he's done so far?


SO now you all know our life story...:yes:

Does anyone have any advice for me/us?

Thanks guys.

Mrs Little & Son.

[mim]

Hey guys, I hope everyone is well
Firstly Congratulations Rachel :yelclap: (I answered in your other thread, but it's so exciting!)

Kate I've got a 4 yr old DS and a 3 yr old DD and ALL they do is fight! I wish I knew the solution. The two of them almost ended up in the front yard with a 'free to good home' sign the other day.

Hi Bella :wave: After all this time on the due in April thread I never knew you were from Perth too :o .

Claire :laughing: at Aiden's nappy trick! Conan did that once and I almost vomited.

Woohoo for school going back. Life is sooo much easier now that Conan isn't at home all day whinging! I got Austin weighed on Monday and he had put on another 260g in a week, so he is finally over 2.5kg so I can relax a bit!

Take care everyone

mim xxx

[mim]

Hey Mrs Little,
I live in Port kennedy, right next to Warnbro. One of my friends is a primary school teacher - I'll check with her about jobs if you like.

mim xxx

[sugar n spice]

Aunty Flo??? I have never heard of that ha ha
Rachel - Congrats!!! I am very happy for you. I know it was maybe a shock, but how do you feel? How far aong are you? Are you praying for a little girl this time?? Im soooooo happy for you!
Sarah - How is little Toby? I hope he is better. I just found a cuddle dog Aiden has called Toby, he is so cute and soft and Aiden has been taking him everywhere.
Right, must go and do some work now

Bye all x x x

thanks, well to anwser your questions i have absolutely no idea how far along i am, a guess could be anywere between 1 and 11 wks i suppose im guessing only two wks. Yes i will be praying for a girl.

Also anyone with three young ones, how do you cope?

[Bellamyn]

Thanks girls for all your kind welcomes:p

mim, I honestly never took much notice who was from where in the April thread. As I would mostly just pop on at work I never got to post much, but loved reading about all the girls experiences during their pregancies!

Tullee is a great little baby. She still does sleep alot. She has a little wake time for a few hours in the early eve, but generally goes down about 9ish, wakes for a feed around 2-3am & again at 7ish, so I am lucky I am getting alot of rest.
But I really wasn't prepared for it being a 24 hr job!!! Not that I am finding it hard. I am loving it.
Only complaint I have is how long it takes to actually get us both ready & out of the house in the mornings!!
But this week I feel I am getting more into a routine & jugling things to work for me.
I am completly over the moon with our baby & can't believe I waited so long to become a mum:smiliedance:

I live east, High Wycombe, anyone close?

Bella

[sugar n spice]

im glad its all going good for you with the baby. Im from albany but we are coming up next weekend for my cousins engagement party which is in high wycombe

[Mrs Little]

Thanks Mim.

That would be great. Was also wondering what the hospitals are like over there. We may be there when we have bub 2- still in the planning phase.:thumbsup:

Mim- what hospital did u go to?

Mrs Little & Son.

[mim]

Mrs Little,
I went to Peel Health Campus in Mandurah, it's about 20 minutes south of us. There is public and private maternity units there. I love that hospital. And personally, I can't stand Rockingham hospital (but I'm sure some people will disagree with me)
There is plenty of nice private hospitals more Perth way and I know King Edward Hospital has a birthing centre.

I'm seeing my friend tomorrow, will ask her then for you :)

mim xxx

[kate_perth_10]

Have to agree with u mim do NOT go to rockingham hospital i had both my boys there and lets just say it was a drama from start to finish:mad:

Glad to hear that i am not the only one with fighting kids LOL
At least next year jack is in school so it'll only be half the day i have to deal with them together!!!!!

Warnbro is a really great place to live!! My boys will be going to LIving waters (a christian primary school) and i know people who go there and it really is a lovely school. The uni in Rockingham is murdoch. (not sure if this is any help at all!!)

Anyone doing anything special for mothers day????

[JnA]

Tash havent seen you on here much lately, maybe just checking the wrong threads anyway hope your well .

Hi Rachel firstly - Congratulations! fabulous news...

I have popped in occasionally, but have been really busy lately. And Jade has been sick and very clingy in the last week, so I have been spending a lot of time cuddling her out of her blues. Also, Jade is on the move now, so I have been busily picking up CD's, DVD's, remote controls, various magazines, tupperware and assorted clothing from around the house.. all that leaves me not much time for bubhub :(

Welcome to the new folk, hope everyone is doing well. And all bubs, and not so bubs, are keeping healthy.

If I don't speak to you before I hope you all have a wonderful Mothers day! (my first woohoo!) and you get spoiled as you deserve to be. :yelclap: :hugs:

[Bellamyn]

Hi Girls

We are thinking (if the weather is nice as today) taking the 2 nanna's & going to the zoo for mothers day.
If the weather is crappy then a roast dinner will more than likely be on the cards at home!

Bella

[sugar n spice]

Hi tash - glad to hear jade is on the move. makes life a whole lot harder thought doesn't it. Sorry to hear she has been sick but i hope shes better soon.

To everybody else hi and yes welcome to all the new members we seem to have new people everyday, i cant keep up.

We havent anything planned for mothers day but we will be in perth so we will visits my mil and my mum is coming to perth awell so we will all be able to see eachother on the day which is rare.

better go got some food shopping to do, stay well and i will chat soon

cheers
rach

[kate_perth_10]

AAARRRHHHHH!! I'm having such a s***** day!! We went playgroup this morning and it was all fine but since we have been home i've had both boys screaming for 2 hours cause they are tired! But they won't sleep!!!! i've ended up shutting them in their rooms cause i couldn't handle it anymore.I sometimes wonder why i bother taking them out and trying to do things with them

Sorry for the whinge but they are driving me CRAZY:banghead:
Anyways hope u are all well and Happy Mothers Day for sunday:wave:

[clairereid]

Hi Everyone
Kate -poor you! I think I would have done the same thing, I get so frustrated and I only have 1 baby to look after!
How is everyone today? Aiden and I have been swimming, well, splashing more like it. Aiden use to go to lessons when he was 6 months but I havnt taken him for ages until last week, he cried and clinged to me for the first 10 minutes becuase he was so scared! Unlike him, so trying to take him each week to see how he goes. Today he was better and even let me duck his head under!

well, thats about it.
Take care everyone x x x

[Mummy-2-2]

Hi everyone!!

Tash, Claire and MIM, I havent spoken to you gals for ages! We will have to catch up sometime soon, preferably on a weekend so hubby can look after T and I might get half a chance to chat!:laughing:

[Grizabella]

Hi guys!!!!:wave: Í'm back!!:smiliedance:

I got my new computer today. Tell you what though, it's amazing how much you miss the net when you can't go on it!!!!! I was so bored!!!

Anyway, not much has happened here. We went to Boyup Brooke for Stu's Aunty n Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary bash. We stayed in a little cottage with Stu's parents, Brother n g/friend, and Stu's Sister and kids. During our stay, my nephew taught brion how to chuck the biggest wobblies in history. Brion is now a master tanty chucker. Yay for me! NOT:thumbsdown:

What hasn't helped the situation is the fact that he is teething. His first molar came through today, but the rest are still on their way. So I'm sure to have more Demonic Brion to cope with:devil6:

Hope everyone else is good!

[sugar n spice]

Hey jude glad to hear you got your new computer. :laughing: goodluck is all i can say with the tantrums from now on in they will become a regular occurance:thumbsdown:

Hope everyone else is well. I have gotten used to the news of being pregnant, just had better be a girl:fingerscrossed: we arent going to find out this time round though.

[dormouse]

Hey guys!

Just thought I would quickly pop my head in & say hello coz I havent posted in the new thread yet.

Welcome to the new ladies, looking forward to chatting with you some more!
Was great to see the Tash, Mim, Claire & Sarah at Kings Park! Felt like I hadnt seen you in ages. Was great to catch up! Mim, your tiny baby boy is jusy beautiful!

Hope everyone is well! Like Tash, I have been pretty busy trying to baby proof the house now that Ava is on the move. She is into everything & even when I think I couldnt get the carpet any cleaner, she finds something to put in her mouth!
We have all had all the illnesses that have been going around here & I hope now that we are done & there is nothing more for us to catch! LOL!

Have a busy day of cleaning ahead of me today, tho I will prob spend most of it on here! :laughing:

Hope you are all well, talk soon!

[sugar n spice]

[clairereid]

[kate_perth_10]

[clairereid]

[sugar n spice]

[clairereid]

glad u feel well Rach, do you know how far on you are yet??
I have to get an outfit for Kev's sis wedding in the UK in July and I am really struggling. I was suppose to start my healthy eating in Januray and loose 8kilos but alas I am now fatter than I was before and thoroughly depressed! I had to but myself an icecream to cheer up!! see, it is pointless!!!! ha ha
Happy shopping x x

[sugar n spice]

No i dont no how far along yet wont no till i can get in and see my dr on the 26th, such a long wait, oh well it will be worth it:smiliedance:

[Merlion]

Hey Everyone
Is anybody there?? we have all been so quiet recently. I have been busy working and watching monkey boy 24/7.
What is everybody up too?
Aiden is fine too, he is getting so big and cheeky but so cute at the same time. Yesterday morning I went to get him from bed and he had removed his sleepsuit and his DIRTY nappy! Judging by the state of his hands and face he had a good taste! YUK!!!! Dont worry he has been bathed about 10 times since ha ha ha
silly Aiden
Hope your all well

ye
Claire x x

hiya everyone

that happend to Jess on Friday. I have been working full time and she has been at day care 4 days a week and on friday the day i don't work. I went to have a shower and Jess was too quiet. Went in there and there she was bare butt mooning me with a pooey nappy on the floor. Hands, hair and face covered with it :barf: and she did me a wall drawing too with it:barf:

[sugar n spice]

oh alley what a charming little daughter you have:laughing: Im sure that was fun to clean touch wood i havent had to deal with that yet and hopefully never:barf:

[mim]

Hey everyone

I am sooo tired. Need sleep :sleeping: :sleeping:

I miss having time to be on here. 10 minutes every so often is all I can manage at the moment!

I love reading what all your little ones are doing. It reminds me of all the fun things I have to look forward to again! I'm hanging out for that first smile at the moment!
I think I'll be putting Austins nappy on with masking tape when he is older though! :barf:

I'm looking forward to another meetup! Maybe somewhere indoors though? So my ferals can roam, and I don't have to stress that they will get lost or that somebody is going to kidnap them (they would bring them straight back though.) I might actually remember to turn my car lights off next time :o

Take it easy guys

mim xxx

[JnA]

I think I'll be putting Austins nappy on with masking tape when he is older though!

yeah I was thinking gaffer tape for Jade.

eeeewwww poo paintings... what a thing to walk in to! You poor thing allycat2.

Mim.. I didn't know you left your headlight on! oh no.:eek:


I'll be up for a meet too... anywhere is fine, Jade is off like a rocket these days, so indoors and contained would be good for us too!.

Rachel, hope you are felling ok and your boys aren't running you off your feet too much.

[dormouse]

LOL glad to hear that i'm not the only one that sits on the computer most of the day :D

What on earth did housewives do before the internet was invented?

[clairereid]

why dont we meet at one of the play centres? The Tropical Twist SOR is good. Thats the only good indoor place i can think of, but does anybody know any others?? It is easy for me because I only have 1 baby to pay for, but it might work out expensive for the ladies who have more. What d'yall think? and when can u all manage? I can start a thread once we have a rough idea.
x x

[mim]

Mim.. I didn't know you left your headlight on! oh no.:eek:


mmmmm really embarrasing, ended up getting one of the workers from Kings Park to give us a jump-start :o

Claire that sounds good. I can do Thursday or Friday afternoons.

mim xxx

[JnA]

poor mim! three kids (one teeny) and a flat battery.. that's got to be close to my worst nightmare really. You should have come back to us, I have jump cables and would have helped.


Sounds good to me Claire. I am available Thursdays, Mondays and Fridays after 1.30

[mim]

I was too embarrased to come and ask. I'm such a bimbo :o

[JnA]

lol you silly. A new baby, two other kids to organise and lack of sleep maybe, but definately no bimbo.

[mim]

Yeah I dunno, I also washed my mobile phone in the washing machine the other week.....needless to say, I need a new mobile :o

[JnA]

:laughing: :laughing: ok, you got me, you're a bimbo! :hugs:







:p

[mim]

thankyou thankyou
*bows and falls off stage*

Nighty night

[kate_perth_10]

I went one worse than washing a mobile in the washing machine
A few weeks ago we were at at family bbq and my phone was in my back pocket,anyway it dropped in the toilet and i didn't notice the worst thing was no one noticed till hours later,so everyone had peed on it. It still worked though LOL didn't want to use though so i got a new one:D

It would be great to meet everyone,we're only busy on monday so any other day is good for us:wave:

[Merlion]

have done the toilet thing. went to the movies with hubbies friends while he was away. went to the loo and the phone was hanging off my pants flushed the toilet and bending over to pick up my handbag and it fell into the toilet. phone didn't work so had to get new phone but took nearly 6 months for it to work again.

then when i was approx 6 months pregnant i was having a bowl of noodles at a rest and my handbag was open and the phone rang and it vibrated right out of my bag and into my soup.

could use sim card but my phone was dead :( :( :( especially since the phone was 2 months old

[clairereid]

ha ha you are all silly!!
I have dropped the phone down the loo aswell, try explaining that to the insurance!!
what about next friday afternoon, maybe about 3pm ish? is that too late? and where does eveyone want to go? a playcentre or somewhere else inside??
suggestions please
x x x

[JnA]

what about next friday afternoon, maybe about 3pm ish? is that too late? and where does eveyone want to go? a playcentre or somewhere else inside??


sounds great to me.. I'm good with where ever. :wave:

[sarah81]

We would be in too, Friday afternoons are good for us. Might be able to stay more than 10 mins this time :o Matthew still talks about leaving Kings Park that day!

Went to a party at Playzone in South Fremantle the other day which was quite nice and you can sit quite close to children and an enclosed under 4's area. I haven't been to Tropical Twist, what is that like?

Anyway we should be there whatever you decide.

Sarah

[clairereid]

I have heard the playzone is good, maybe we should try there?
Tropical twist is good, but not that well set out, if you were in the under 4 bit you cant really see the bigger kids running around and it is quite alot smaller than the beach house, thats the only other one I have been to compare!

So what about The Playzone in Freo
Friday 19th May about 2.30pm!
Oh, I better check what time it closes as these things close early sometimes dont they?
will get back x x

[Merlion]

i can do fridays so i can come too. claire do you want to carpool together

[mim]

Sounds good! Is playzone where the fun factory used to be? Above the gym?

mim xxx

[sarah81]

I think so Mim, is on Hampton Rd and you enter from the back. It looks like a huge warehouse from the road. Is that what you were thinking of?

[clairereid]

I just called and the girl said you have to park round the back, so I guess it is the same place, altough it seemed to have changed its name from Funstation to Playzone, althought when I called she answered the phone by saying Funzone! so I am totally confused!! ha ha It is open until 5pm next friday so thats good, what about 2.30 - 3pm ish??
Let me know what everyone thinks and I will make new thread, oh, it is $6.60 for under 5's

bye x

[sarah81]

I am pretty sure we are all talking about the same place :thumbsup: That time suits us Claire.

[mim]

Yeah, that sounds like the place. thanks guys :thumbsup: The time is good for us

[sugar n spice]

I thought id pop my head in and see how you are all going. Alls well here. No morning sickness yet touch wood but lots of nausea if i dont eat often. well i hope your all well and id love to hear how your all going lets get this thread more active again:smiliedance:

[clairereid]

Hi Everyone
Glad to hear you have no morning sickness Rachel. I hope that contunies!
When are you going to the doctors to see how far along you are? Good luck for that. Have you told the boys? How are they reacting??
No news from me, how boring, just been to the gym and now working from home, all very exciting! 6 weeks until our trip home, 6 weeks to try and prepare Aiden for 24 hours of travelling!! help!!!!!!!!
Hope everyone is well x x x:hugs:

[sugar n spice]

Hi claire
You must be so excited to be going home, im sure you will enjoy the break. Aiden will be fine just dont stress about it.
I have mentioned briefly to ethan that we are having another baby though i dont think its sunken in. Sheldon is too young to understand. Dr next friday and its going so slow.

Im tired all the time

[Grizabella]

Hi everyone!:wave:

Not much has been going on here. I've been a bit boring:thumbsdown: Ah well, better to be bored then stressed out and busy.

Rach - So glad you're feeling ok. Sorry I've missed u a fair bit on MSN, háven't been on there as much.

Claire - You will have to tell me how you coped with your flight! We are all going to the UK and Europe at the end of the yr. Brion will be 18mnths by then so God knows how we are going to keep him occupied. Especially as we didn't get him a seat, because they wanted us to pay 75% ticket price, as opposed to 10%. Fortunately we have just got a portable DVD player, so hopefully we can Wiggle through the time! :laughing:

Hope everyone else is well! Thread seems to have died in the **** a bit. Will try to pop in a bit more, keep bumping it up.:D

[creativewarrior]

hi
just poppin in to say hello... been a bit slack with posting - busy busy busy.

were officially TTC now - im all clucky again and think i must be crazy to want to go thru labour again but for some reason we want another one. partly cuz amber is in the big bed now and packing the cot away got me all sentimental - emphasis on the mental im sure.

mother is still here - when will she leaveeeeeeeee!!!! 10 sleeps and counting :devil6:

hi everyone. glad to hear everyone is still alive and kicking:laughing: since its been strangely quitet of late. Creativewarrior that is great news that you are officialy tying to concieve. in the mean time just have fun practising:laughing:.

Well all is well on my front no m/s yet thankgoodness. could never have it like i did with ethan would be impossible to look after the kids if i was that :barf:.

Anyway stay well everyone:wave:

[Merlion]

Woohoo I'm coming today. :yelclap: :yelclap: :yelclap: Claire I have pm'd if you still want to carpool otherwise anyone in the C.Vale area want to carpool. I have 2 car seats and only one is being used.

[clairereid]

hi
just poppin in to say hello... been a bit slack with posting - busy busy busy.

were officially TTC now - im all clucky again and think i must be crazy to want to go thru labour again but for some reason we want another one. partly cuz amber is in the big bed now and packing the cot away got me all sentimental - emphasis on the mental im sure.

mother is still here - when will she leaveeeeeeeee!!!! 10 sleeps and counting :devil6:

Hi Everyone
creativewarior, how did it go getting Amber to sleep in big bed? Aiden is just a month younger than Amber, but Im not sure if I should try him in a big bed or when is the best time to do it?? How is it going?
Rachel, when did u put Ethan in the big bed?? I would love to leave Aiden in there as long as possible but dont want to damage his growth!! :no:

anyhoo, getting ready for the playzone, playhouse, funzone thing.

Cheerio x x x

[sugar n spice]

Claire ethan was in his own bed at 13 mnths but then sheldon is 16mnths and still in his cot. Im putting him into a bed as soon as we move into the new house as hes ready for it but we dont want to buy more furniture that needs to be moved soon

[creativewarrior]

we still have a few probs getting amber to sleep - she plays in her room for a while most nights which is fine, i dont go in unless shes calling out for me or banging on the door... she went to sleep in there quite well at first but now wants us to be with her until she falls asleep which is kinda getting annoying. shes wasnt well last week tho so i think that had something to do with it too. nights were hard - naptimes are worse - she just thinks its playtime still, gotta wait till shes totally tired.

overall tho heaps better than the cot - in the mornings she gets up and plays for a while before calling for me, when she used to just scream out the moment she woke - so now i get a maybe an extra 15 minutes sleep :cool:

i knew it was time when i found her climbing out of the cot - she hadnt gotten out yet but i knew it wasnt far off. i kept the cot in the room with the bed so if she was playin up i could give her a choice of 'big girl bed' or 'baby cot' - she would always point to the bed :)

weve just got a guard rail for the bed and she hasnt fallen out yet even tho she would do 180's in the cot she seems to stick to the pillow end which is good

[clairereid]

Thanks for the info girls. Im glad that the little ones are sleeping well in the big beds. Actually I noticed that Ikea have some really cute little beds.
I think if we were trying for a second baby we might put Aiden in the big bed, but since we are not, I think we will keep him in the cot as long as poss! He is such a good sleeper and wakes and talks to himself for about an hour in the mornings, so at least we get a bit if time to wake up!
Anyhoo Hope u all have a good weekend everybody

Cheerio C x x:D

Hi All

Rachel, I hope you are still feeling well and the pregnancy is going great.

Claire, are you getting excited yet? A good friend of mine left for the UK on Friday night.. I haven't heard from her yet, but I'm guessing the flight with her little one (Jade's Age) was pretty good.. I'll let you know when she touches base with me.

Creativewarrior congrats on TTC. I hope it happens quickly for you.

allycat2 it was great to meet you and Jessica on Friday. And it was good to see Mim, her gorgeous three, Sarah and her very handsome two and Claire and full of cuteness Aiden.

Not much out of the ordinary is happening here with me and Jade. I am thinking about the next one :eek: since Jade will be one sooooo soon. I will be doing another round of IVF after I stop BFing (when Jade is 1) and then we will have some embys ready for when we want to go again. Still torn between wanting another baby and wanting to devote all I have to Jade. Is that normal?

Anyway, there's no stopping Jade now. I walk around the house after I put her down for a nap and can see the path she took. A book out here, a cupboard open there, a video off the shelf here, some toys there... I tell ya, she wouldn't make a very good thief. :laughing:

Hope you are all well, have a great week !

[clairereid]

Hi everyone
Tash - I think it is normal to want to devote all your time to Jade, ofcourse you will, but Im sure she would love a little bro or sis to play with! I just cant belive how big she is getting! it is the same with all the babies, when we all first met they were all so small and now crawling and almost walking! Good luck with yout IVF, I hope it happens first time round.
Aiden is at day care today so I have a day of peace! yippee! well not really cause I have to work but it is my one break in the whole week so I really treasure it.
He was really sick on saturday morning, but wasnt sick again, so he seems okay now. I was outside in the garden last night and woke up at 5.15 scratching like hell, I have about 8 bites on my ankles! bloody mossies!
Yes - totally excited about going home, not so much about the flight, does anyone suggest anything that may help aiden sleep???? Or me for that matter???

Im thinkning of suggesting another SOR meet next friday. Who would be in??

Have a good day y'all
Cx

[sugar n spice]

Creativer warrior it is great making the decions to try for another one isnt it. hope it doesnt take too long for you and goes smoothly:fingerscrossed:.

Tash - they grow up so quick and yes it's normal to think about just devoting all your time to jade. I know when i had to go to hopsital to have sheldon i cried it was like no ethan is my baby. but all was well.

The preg so far is going good and i see the drs on friday so that will be good.

I will be coming to perth for about 2 wks for the july school holidays so im hoping i can catch up with some of you then.

cheers
rach:wave:

[clairereid]

Rachel - good luck for the docs on Friday, let us know how you go.
I dont think I will be here for the school holidays in July, I will be away until 23rd July, are they before that?? would have been great to finally meet you all!! maybe next time
The rain here is so heavy and loud! my PC screen is flickering and lights aswell. Think I might loose power NOOOOOOOOOOO :fingerscrossed:

[JnA]

I would be in a SOR meet next friday.. after or before gymbaroo (which is at 12.30).

I love this weather.. I woke up to a thunderstorm and that rocks :)

[clairereid]

TASH ur a crazy chook!
I like a good lightning storm, but hate the hard rain and thunder.
I will start a thread about a meet next friday, 2nd June, the day after our first wedding anniversary! how nice! i will leave it open for sugestions aswell.
Im off to the gym, use their power!
:yes:

[kate_perth_10]

Hey all hope that everyone is well!! sorry i couldn't make it to the meet ,i'm still learning to drive (i'm slack i know) so it makes it makes it very hard to get places!!
my boys have just escaped outside to play in the puddles and i'm too scared to see what they are doing out there (and what the mess will be like when they come in LOL):eek:
Rachel- hope everything is going great and m/s stays away!! i have just found out yesterday that i'm pregnant too and due at the end of january, so you'll have to let me know how u are getting on

anyways better go hope to chat to all soon:smiliedance:

ps where were u thinking of having the sor meet???

[clairereid]

Congrats Kate! Were you trying for another baby? Thats really great and exciting news.
Not sure about the meet place yet, the Funzone place in south Freo was good, so maybe there or the Tropical Twist on Stock road maybe, If the weather forcast is good, maybe we will just meet in a park somewhere.
I will start a thread soon and everyone can just make suggestions for what is best for them
Hope to see u there
Claire x x

[lil button]

:wave:

Hi guys just thought i would pop in and say Hello.

We have been really good and lil Jack has started kicking heaps more in the last few days.
I hope you have all been well and having fun.

I will be back at end of August for his birth so will have to come to a meet before i go back to Qld in November

:wave: Later

[clairereid]

Linda - you are spooky! I was just reading your pregnancy diary and was about to PM you!!! How have you been?? RU excited you are having a wee boy???
Hope ur well over in Queensland!

Bye C

[lil button]

Hi Claire, I am over the moon, lil boy is just what we wanted, he is such a happy, wriggly little thing.

Queensland is great, real quiet but really strange weather. I am soo homesick atm though which really doesn't help matters.

How is everyone in Perth going?

[clairereid]

Oh Perth is fine, the weather here today is awful, rain and thunder storms. Yuk!
Still working hard and living very very quiet! Aiden more trouble than ever, but as cute as a button and wouldnt swap him for the world (maybe a long lie and a night out!!) joking!
Im so happy you are having a boy, I would love to catch up when you get back, so keep me posted. Until then I will just keep reading you pregnancy diary!

Take care
C

[BB'smum]

:wave: Does anyone know if there will be an eastern suburbs meet any time soon?

[clairereid]

:wave: Does anyone know if there will be an eastern suburbs meet any time soon?

Hi
Im not too sure, but you could certainly suggest one and see if anyone could make it. Im sure there are people from the eastern suburbs who would love to get together. :thumbsup:

[sugar n spice]

Congrats kate on your pregnancy yes we should keep eachother updated on how things are going.:smiliedance::smiliedance::smiliedance:

[Grizabella]

Hi guys!:wave:

Glad to see the thread picking back up!

Kate - congrats on your fantastic news!!:yelclap: Maybe a girl this time round?

Tash - I know how you feel, Brion turns 1 next Tuesday, and though I want him to have a sibling (or 2 if I can convince DP!:laughing: ) I feel like I should devote 100% to him. Ah well, we'll see how things go hey? Good luck with ur expected IVF:fingerscrossed:

Claire - advanced congrats on you wedding anniversary! With many more to come for you both!

Rach - Good luck with your docs appt! Maybe we could catch up when you are in Perth?

Hope everyone else is doing well! Brion is good. He said his first proper word today, he said DAD (haha now Stu will have to answer to his every beck and call!) I'm pretty sure he knows how to use it in context. He is still cruising around the furniture, no signs of walking yet. Can't wait til he does, my back is about to snap from carrying him around! We are having his B'day party on the 3rd. Hopefully it isn't raining. I don't even want to think of all our rellies in our house, squished inside! With children running around! AAAHHHH!!!! I am also going to attempt to decorate my first ever birthday cake. Hehehe should be interesting!

[JnA]

Congratulations Kate.

Linda, nice to hear from you.. looking forward to seeing you again later in the year (and your new little man too!)

Jude.. 1! wow.. too fast. I hope that our cake turns out to be a success.. what kind are you thinking of? Happy Birthday to Brion for next tuesday, and I'm sure he'll enjoy his party no matter what. :)

[Grizabella]

Tash - I am making a monkey birthday cake. Thought it'd be suitable for my little monkey's B'Day:laughing: I am getting the bakery at Coles to make me a chocolate sponge slab, and cutting the template out on that.:fingerscrossed: I don't mess it up! Maybe I should order two sponges......:laughing:

[creativewarrior]

making ambers birthday cake was great fun - a very special mum moment for me :)

[sugar n spice]

Hi everyone:wave:
jude - that is what i did for sheldons first cake except his was a penguine. I ordered a slab from woolworths and then cut out the template and decorated together with graes help. The cutting out is the fiddly part but it turned out really good. Happy birthday to brion for next week

My birthday next week yay, next friday:smiliedance:. gees i will be 23:rolleyes:

[Karstens Mum]

Hi All,

Have just joined the site after reading lots of threads. I have an an 8 mth old boy,
He has just got over the flu, why is men/boys are so grumpy when they are sick. Hubby gave the lil one the flu, so had both of them grumping at me. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH...

[sugar n spice]

Hi everyone
we just got home from perth the first wk of our holidays was great then all 4 of us got struck with the flu which was not good.

Ange - i loved the meet up at your house it was a good morning out and i enjoyed catching up with you all

[clairereid]

Hi Everyone
Hope you are all well.
I am back in Perth after a month home in Scotland.
The first week was hard as we were all so tired and I was totally stressed out, but them the sun came out and I started to chill out a little. Aiden had so much fun as did we. It was so nice to see my family, I have only been back 2 days but miss them heaps already! :crying: Oh dear! I have also put on heaps of weight so back on the diet again, sucks!! We had DH sisters wedding to go to and Aiden had on a kilt, he looked sooo cute"! I will have to post the picture soon,

What has everyone else been up to??
bye x x x x

[Grizabella]

Hi everyone :wave:

Guess what??

Brion took his first steps last night!!!! 4 of them!

As you can tell I am very excited! :laughing: Other then that nothing much has been going on here. I am working 2 nights a week now - Stu looks after Brion when I am at work. It's going ok. Nice to have some adult conversations about things other then babies. Well as adult as you can get out of drunk people!

Hope everyone else is well. Claire you will have to post up those pics of Aiden in a kilt! Sounds adorable! Glad to hear you are all recovering from the flu Rach!

Chat later!

[JnA]

Hi All :wave:


Hi Claire! Welcome Back! Sounds like you had a wonderful time, but I missed you. I can't wait to see a pic of Aiden in his little kilt, how cute.

CONGRATULATIONS BRION!!!! How incredibly exciting for you Jude! I love the milestones and walking is a big one, you have every right to be excited!


Jade is standing up on everything, sometimes letting go to stand by herself and today she took a little step (though I'm not calling it walking yet) It's very exciting.
We are busy planning her birthday party and excitedly waiting for her first concert (the Dorothy The Dinosaur Dance Party on August 1st).
That's about all for now... hope you all have a great week!

[Mum2Tyla]

Hi Everyone,
That is so cool Jude, I would be excited too. Sorry I haven't seen any of you guys for ages, I have been working for my Dad and doing the Body Shop thing so doesn't leave me much time for anything else unfortunately, well have fun everyone.
Kelly:)

[Merlion]

well ppls been so busy. started a new job and absolutely love it shorter hours, nicer ppl and less stress. would love to catch up with anyone but am not home nowadays so its so hard to catch up. talk to everyone soon.

[clairereid]

THIS WEATHER SUCKS!!
I am cold and depressed, when does summer start? ? ?
How is everyone?? Any news?? I am bored ha ha ha should be working really, well, I have been. Aiden been sleeping for 3 hours, but think the windy rain is about to wake him up cause I can hear him stirring.
Might suggest a meet SOR soon if anyone is interested? see how the weather goes, I want to hibernate, you'd think I'd be used to it aye!!
:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

On a more positive note......just booked to go to Ayres Rock and Sydney when MIL and FIL are here, thought we should get out there and see what Oz has to offer beyond WA. Any suggestions of must do'd in Sydney would be appreicated!

Bye everyone x x x x x

[sugar n spice]

Jude - yes its great being over the flu and sheldon is over his ear infection. Glad to hear brion has taken his first steps its a wonderful and exciting moment isn't it.

Tash - glad to hear jade is looking like shes about to take off. hope she has a good birthday soon.

Claire - glad you had a lovely holiday and thats great you get to have another great holiday soon in sydney. Sydney is lovely.

Well not much happening here our house looks to be completed in about 4 wks so that is really exciting. Freezing cold today im rugged up like a eskimo

[JnA]

Hi all

Ally - I'm sure I saw you at a scrapbooking shop (on Bannister Rd) the other wekk, but I couldn't be sure and didn't want to make a dill of myself in case it wasn't. :o
Sounds like you job rocks.. what are you doing?

Claire! Helloo!!!!! Oh you lucky thing you! Got the travel bug now huh? Ayers rock is one of the remaining Australian things to see on my list. I'm jealous. I loved Sydders. I don't have any must do's apart from 'do everything you can'. Hope to catch up with you soon... maybe we can organise a meet at one of those play places again (like the last time) that's indoors so the weather won't bother us.

S&S how exciting.. only four weeks to go! BTW.. when *isn't* it cold in your part of the world? :laughing:


Jade is still doing her little stand and shuffle then plop on her bum routine. We are looking forward to the Dorothy the Dinosaur Dance Party on Tuesday. Our first concert! I hope they have some expensive crappy merchandise I can buy.

Hope you all have a great weekend!


PS I Love this weather!
lol

[Merlion]

Yep that was me. I had no Jessica as I had three days off after my last job finished and my new one started so I kept Jess at daycare. I was shopping with a friend

[clairereid]

Oh Jade is going to have so much fun going to see Dorothy!! Aiden doesnt really like the Wiggles that much, think he is strange! He likes Balamory so maybe it the accent thing!!
Alicia - how is your PG going? hope all is well.
Rachel - Im glad your house is almost finished how cool!! I would love a new house, or even one that wasnt rented so I could make Aiden a proper bedroom :banghead:
What about next friday pm for a meet? maybe at the one in South Freo again about 3pm ish?? I think it is the only one open that late cause the one in Oconnor closes at 3pm.
I will post a thread once I see how many peeps would come. Beware, it is me posting the thread so most likely the meet wont go ahead\1 they never do when I post!! ha ha
okay bedtime bye x x x x:D

[Merlion]

Pg is going well. tired all the time though. went to obny today and told him i would like to try to go natural after my c-sect due to pre-eclampsia. He said he's happy to go ahead with that idea as long as i see a specialist at 25 weeks and decide from there. don't want c-sect at all so im going to fight it tooth and nail.

Might be able to make it to the meet next week. i normally finish work at 3:30pm but maybe i can sneak out early *fingers crossed*
