Are you sure starting a new thread early is a good idea? Just means by mid-November we'll be ready for another one :)
It doesn't matter how many threads you go through, we just try and keep them below 500 posts for download times for our members with dial-up or slow internet connections.
So, chat away :thumbsup:

babywez - they always get the weather wrong so fingers crossed they have this time!!
Everyone else ... I can't remember anything without doing the multiquote thing and new thread so :confused:
RE: the bebedelice again. They sent me aaanother email to say that it is now in stock on the Kids Store website. It's just reduced to $169.95. I tried to put in the voucher code (to check that it worked) and it said it didn't work, so there's no further discount with the code. Ho hum.
Well, I may or may not have just ordered six d'lishes off the itti bitti website - chocolate, baby pink, peppermint, royal blue, turquoise and jade. :cloud9::cloud9: coughcough.
And more addresses have been received! Many thanks!
HO HO HO!
Target Parra out of stock of one size.... guess which ones?! You guessed it - Boys Crawlers!!! Just called Castle Towers and they're out too... :crying:
I got my Bebedelice though.. for $127.20!!! :smiliedance:
Tried Macquarie store for the nappies and still no luck... and got the last box put aside for me at the Carlingford store so guess where I'm going after Castle Towers tomorrow! :D
Also got home with lemon cake ingredients and would you believe the MIL doesn't own ONE SINGLE CAKE PAN??? So am off to Woolies down the road to buy her one! I love walking down there in the afternoon as it really works my butt out pushing the pram back up the hill. Better get going before the MIL gets back and tells me to leave him with her... :rolleyes: Oh boy, me thinks I'm too late!
She tried that again before as I was leaving to go to Target: "Leave him", "No I'm going to take him", "No you've just fed him, leave him with me", "No, I LIKE taking him out with me"... Gggrrr... they're home now. :rolleyes:
Bye! :wave:
Ho hum
I'm feeling trashed today ... know how you feel K8Y. Was going to go to target but haven't been bothered. Was going to ring a friend and see if they wanted to go out for lunch..but couldnt be bothered. Ended up having a little snooze with my man on the couch. Am still tired though. He's napping now...might go when he wakes instead of walking the dog, as I feel like chocolate, and seeing as I'm stopping it as of next week and its my birthday I MUST have some.
MOS how much does it steam at a time...ie say one carrot a few pieces of broccoli?? Just trying to work out if its worth it. I'll probably just microwave and use the stick blender. Though I like the "infant lead solids" idea of just partially steaming/ and letting them finger feed...and not mushing at all:D
Lambkin do you get the snap in or sewn in Ittys?? Do you have a Target near you, as they have Jolly Jumpers, as do BigW and Kmart. Lambkin, I think you were game joingingthe gym...but I dont balme you for pulling out if they are just going to let him scream. When I said I get plenty of exercise, its more from walking the dog most days as well as physio class and yoga.. MY saggy gut feels bigger though.
To anyone contemplating exercise, gym etc. Make sure you do your pelvic floor exercises.The Physio said at about 3-4mths is when a lot of women do daage, as they haven't been doing enough PF exercises...they begin to feel better and have more time (hmm, yeah right) and go back to sport. Start running and jumping around.. the pelvis floor wobbling like jelly....then next thing they know they are dribbling:o The other thing shes big on is if you have separation of your rectus muscle you are not to do any upper abdo work..including crunches until it comes back together. You can test by lying flat on your back, putting ur chin on your chest and running your fingers up the middle (in a line from your navel) of your upper tummy...Youll feel if theres a gap. MIndyou if you have one according to her, you have to roll out of bed, and no carrying bubs in pouches etc, as this muscle supports your back so you risk disc injury. Hmm I still have a 3 finger gap.:o
Gabriel can get the dummy in...as well as everything in reach..LOL We went out for dinner lastnight and he spent about half an hour doing head swoops onto the table at my napkin, my folk, his toys... Any watcer would think the poor kid was never fed. I tok his little squeeky frog ...and he was munching on that for ages...we joked he was having the "frogs legs". The last week or so he's started sucking in his lower lip and making a puuk sound...like when I blow him kisses.
Charlotte has only ever really had farex or apple with farex or apple puree.
I just mashed some of a banana up, seived it with a little water for her lunch.
she LOVED it. The whole time she was just eating and making mmmmmmmm noises lol. Looks like her fav!
Anyone recommend something to puree stuff with? something small, easy to clean but does the job?
She is starting to roll from tummy to back now. Back to tummy is easy for her but not the other way.. now she is rolling around both and being very proud of herself, lookin up with smiles at me as if to say, look at me mummy look what i can do

How cute..:cloud9:..there are machines you can buy that puree small amounts have a look,I have a hand held blender easy to clean,use it for whipping etc,my big ice blender is what I used for Jake & is a mission to clean.
You can get mini hand held woozers can't you?
Well I ended up in target as we needed to get out of the house. MOS I'm sooo jealous our target didn't have one as that is such a good price. Wonder how much it would cost to post :confused: prob too much to bother. Wonder if they transfer between stores - likely not :rolleyes:
Summer is buggered now, am feeding her while she quietly dozes. Might try a nap for both us soon. DP home tonight at 8pm.
I bought a couple of books by Jane Green - I love her! I got Summer a pair of sunnies from pumpkin patch, so cute, will have to take a pic and post it. We did a fair bit of window shopping while I contemplated xmas presents. Found $100 in the washing machine today (hence my trip to target lol), texted DP and told him finders keepers :D gosh he is careless with cash. He then texted me a pic of him on the boat today, so I told him for that I was gonna spend the money! I only spent a little though, on the books and sunnies :o
Hope Summer sleeps better tonight.
c38 its your birthday, make sure you eat lots of choc befrore you join the fat club!
I had 20gm of 70% lindt choc last night mmmmm (it was 2.5 points though :eek:)
MOS how do you pronounce bebedelice? :o I might ring a few Target stores.

Though I like the "infant lead solids" idea of just partially steaming/ and letting them finger feed...and not mushing at all:D
It doesn't steam much but I'd say it's more of a novelty. I like having the one machine that the MIL doesn't know how to use! :laughing: Going to have a look now... OK I'd say it steams roughly a cup and a half... but it all depends on how small you cut the pieces up into. I'm going to test it out a few times by steaming some veggies for DH to take to work for lunch - that was part of the deal with me buying it! It also warms up bottles, de-frosts stuff and sterilises bottles too so no more standing out in the back kitchen over the stove sterilising one bottle at a time - this one only does one bottle but that's all I ever need to do.
Anyone recommend something to puree stuff with? something small, easy to clean but does the job?
I reckon hit Big W or KMart or Target and get a small hand held rocket style blender for about $20. That's all you need really. Once you've steamed or boiled the stuff, it should be soft enough to just mash with a fork so it may not even be needed.
Lemon cake is baking.... aaaaahhhhhh.... yummmm.... Am only going to have one piece. Which reminds me - Lambkin, any chance of you printing off that fat club stuff and bringing it tomorrow? I have no printer but my laptop now DH's will open the file... :confused:
k8y, our Target store still had one of the Bebedelice things but not sure about postage, etc. I would be happy to do some running around if you want but it might turn out the same in the end as getting it on that website...
MOS how do you pronounce bebedelice? :o I might ring a few Target stores.
It's french, so like Beb-be (not like eee sound IYKWIM?) dayleece. It's by BabyMoove and is in their nursery section near the feeding stuff. Good luck!

I like the sewn-in itties best, but only have one so far. The rest are snaps because I won them off of buyforbaby and I decided not to be picky. I don't mind the snaps, but DP is really slow to put them together (if I haven't already) and El gets the poops waiting, so I am trying to swap my snap-ins for sewn-ins. Which ones do you have? I got all sewn-ins today - chocolate, royal blue, turquoise, peppermint, jade and baby pink. I can't wait!
And yep! I will try target and k-mart tomorrow when I'm out meeting the girls. I'm not sure if I will get one though because all our doorways are off of a dark hallway and the rest of the house is open plan, and I don't think he'd have much fun bouncing on his own! But I am going for a squiz anyway :)
Which reminds me - Lambkin, any chance of you printing off that fat club stuff and bringing it tomorrow? I have no printer but my laptop now DH's will open the file... :confused:
No problems hon! I will do that for you. :thumbsup:
I was just talking to my Mum and sister (the one with older kids) about having more babies. I said that I think I want them about 18months to 2 years apart and they went burko at me!! I don't think they have recovered from the stress of my first (unplanned) pregnancy! Then Mum went on to say that I wouldn't get as much help if I wasn't living with her and I don't realise how hard it can be and so on. I totally agree with her, but she sounded like she did'n't think I appreciated all the help she gives us, but DP and I really do appreciate it.. however, I can understand where she is coming from. I wish we'd had a better option when I got pregnant. This is a huge reason why DP and I were having all those problems before and split. I hate living here because it makes me feel so guilty whenever Elliot is screaming or if Mum picks up after us, and I kind of resent that DP didn't find us an alternative when I was preg. I know now that that is a very narrow opinion, and I know there is more to it than that. I insisted on living near my parents where real estate is crazy expensive, so I'm not sure what I really expected him to do. I feel a bit sad about it all atm. Wish I hadn't said anything! Don't you hate that?
Sigh. Oh well. DS is having a nice little nap so I'm going to do some web research. I think I'm going to open an ebay shop for all the cr** I am selling on there.

Going to see of the noodle shop has any sushi left
its weird here today...overcast and humidish but not really hot
Thanks MOS, will give it a try!
BB I miss fluffball too and was today too thinking of how she was going. I will check and see if our old threads are still there and report back.
c38 I agree, xmas day is no holds barred I'm afraid BB, you HAVE to make a pig of yourself, it's the rules :yes:

Aww thanks BB. Yeah I have PCOS, so who knows how long it will take when we actually try! Elliot was SUCH a fluke. One time being lazy and wham. My Doctor was totally shocked. haha

Me!! I have her number saved in my phone. I'll send her a text to let her know we are thinking of her.

aww thanks supermum. You are a supermum! Of course you want more! hehe nah I know what you mean. They just don't want us to get wrapped up in the romance and gooeyness of it all and not think sensibly. I was pretty lonely as a kid, that's all, cause my sisters were older and my brother was too little so I just kind of hung out with my Nan. Lol. I don't want El to be lonely!
And yes baby pink! It looks so pretty! And yes he is a boy, but I think babies can get away with wearing any colour. :p As long as I don't dress him in frills, I think it'll be okay.
Old women get very upset with me for putting him in yellow or green or purple or whatever because they don't know if he is a boy or a girl, bless.
Speaking of which, my brother-in-law's Mum used to dress my BILs brother in girl's clothes because he was such a pretty baby and she had wanted a girl so bad. haha. Crazy lady - god love her!

Fraggle.....where are you:confused:
Tuttifrutti............:confused:
Who is Fluffball's buddy??? :confused:
I miss her :(
:( yeah I wonder?
Just thought id let you's know, you know how charli can roll from back tummy easily but not really the other way around, well she has perfected it today.
She rolls EVERYWHERE. one side of room to the other and she is soo proud of herself lol
Now I gota keep the floors spotless. Dont want her eating a moth or something hahah
One that jumped out at me is Fra99le...she was such a regular
I was a good girl and cooked meat and vege..:)
Figure I might go to town tom and get sushi from my fav shop, and some really nice chocolate:D
Tutties computer is old and the browser kept crashing when she comes to BH, plus she finds it hard to find time. She and I email irregularily. reminds me, I must reply to her last one.
:yelclap: Well done Charli! :thumbsup:
The IL's bought Sam some pressies at the hospy.... Hhmmmm, must be nice. One was a teddy bear blanket which the MIL said is for when Sam lies on the floor (already got a teddy bear blanket which is exclusively for on the floor from my mum - used to be my brother's and I love it) AND...... A PINK pillow with a big shell on the front, filled with POT POURRI! :eek: I made a hole in the plastic to sniff and it REAKS! Oh I didn't do a good job of being nice... :geek: Oopsy!
They said there were no more blue ones, so they got the pink (still had $4 price sticker so thank god they didn't go all out). Now to be really nasty..... I spent a lot of time making his "corner" all co-ordinated. I don't want to put a pink pllow in his cot! Also, when we first put the cot up, the MIL said "you need a pillow" and we explained it's not safe and unnecessary... and today she says to just "put it in his cot"... :confused: Just confims she NEVER listens to me.
I think I'm just tired. Don't want to sound un-greatful. I could be like sk6 and get nothing! Or was it something religious in the end??? I just don't want them to spend money on these silly little things that I need to find more hiding places for! Last time they bought him a jacket which had the buttons sewn on backwards so you can't do it up! :o
On a positive note, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow! You two still in kotakai & lambkin? Hope so!
And Fluffball's been on Facebook recently... if that helps.
Evening one and all!
Ive had a good day. Liam and I met up with a workmate for lunch at Maccas. She was in a CBF with work mood, and is in a position to take as much time for her lunch as she likes, so we sat around gossiping for a good hour.
Then I went shopping, like a lot of you, hit the Target sale, where I spent nearly $100 on clothes for Liam! Target stocks a range of clothes by Fisher Price which are just tooooo cute! I bought him the "Cute as a bug" all in one, I also have the giraffe all in one, and the monkey one.
Also went to Myers and bought him some clothes in the Sprout range which I also love. All these clothes are size 0:eek: and mainly for summer, pjs, shorts and t-shirts.
While we're playing "where are they now?", we havent heard from Dondons or Candie for ages, they used to post regularly. Hope all is going well for them.
OK, gotta go. Hope you all have a great night, and the bubs all sleep like babies! Take care:flowerz:
mos let him puke all on it then leave it in laundry for her to wash:D keep her busy
MOS WTF??? I agree SMO3, wouldn't be hard for little Samuel to puke on it anyway, sounds gross (and cheap).
Fra99le is missed! Did she chat much straight after bubs arrival? I don't remember, it was such a blur :o
Kyles you've been busy :D I love the sprout range too!!! Have been trying to avoid looking at it, but I may get something lovely for Summer to wear at our christening do once we take the gigantic dress off her!
seriously though they obviously want to contribute in some way maybe u could ask them to get sam very very specific, ie the cube things for solids? or mess mat for under high chair? so they can feel that they are getting him stuff but u dont end up with useless ****.
then with the cube things u could say everytime u feed what a great idea they were how much u like them make a fuss blah blah to try n get her off your back i think she needs to be needed u should try n find someway she can be needed for something and make a big fuss so she is happy and backs off a bit
:wave: :wave:
i am so thick...
i was wondering what happened to our group, didn't think to look under birthing groups...derrrr
i know it's only taken me what 4 months...
here is an update anyway.
Kobi is growing good he is such a cutie and getting very cheeky.
we moved house at the start of the month and ever since we moved in there has been nothing but trouble, first the front door lock broke, we had to build a gate so we could have our dogs, the water pipes are blocked and still keep flooding the back yard, the dishwasher died and had to get a new one...
then i have been down to my parents (4hr drive) 3 times, had a death in the family, a wedding and a birthday.
in between all that i have been getting out and about to bubhub meets and enjoying the weather and the kids.
Kobi is almost sitting by himself, rolls onto belly but is trying but struggling to roll from belly to back.
he was sleeping through the night for almost a month and now he has changed his mind and wakes twice a night again.
it is so great watching his face light up when he sees his big sister and he just thinks she is the bees knees even though she can get a bit rough.
there is a few photos up on FB yet to upload more as my camera is almost full yet again.
how is everyone and how are all the bubs going.
can't believe 4 months has gone by, it's sad to see my baby growing up so fast, but still great watching him learn and discover new things.
my DH is away for work at the moment, hopfully his last trip for a while, miss him heaps when he is away and i miss having that extra pair of hands.
well know i know where you have all been hiding i'll be sure to pop in and annoy you all again :p
lots of people no longer chatting :(
babywez just watched your youtube videos they are great....have to get a jolly jumper for Pip!!!
MOS- I can't believe all the nappies were sold out, I forgot to ring my brother today...hmmmm he'll probably be in bed by now...might sms him to ask to put some aside...though he probably wont as I couldn't play football with him tonight as I had to pick up DH from the train
well tidied the house today and went for a walk so was impressed with myself...though have had a couple of glasses of wine with the DH...
stg I can't believe she is rolling everywhere- can you take a video??
enjoy your catch up tomorrow girls...hope I can make it next time!
hey candiee:wave: we missed u
geee you girls can :ecomcity: :ecomcity: i have A LOT of catching up to do...i'll get around to it one of these days ( a bit like my pile of folding)
where do i get those cube thingos...? i looked today but couldnt find
sorry for the TMI ahead but have to let you all know that since DH has been home (6pm) Pip has done 3 poos all on him and has just done another- to be fair she didn't do one yesterday which is unusual...but it is a bit harsh on DH:rolleyes:
mos let him puke all on it then leave it in laundry for her to wash:D keep her busy
MOS WTF??? I agree SMO3, wouldn't be hard for little Samuel to puke on it anyway, sounds gross (and cheap).
Fra99le is missed! Did she chat much straight after bubs arrival? I don't remember, it was such a blur :o
:laughing: You two crack me up! LOVE IT!!! :yelclap:
seriously though they obviously want to contribute in some way maybe u could ask them to get sam very very specific, ie the cube things for solids? or mess mat for under high chair? so they can feel that they are getting him stuff but u dont end up with useless ****.
then with the cube things u could say everytime u feed what a great idea they were how much u like them make a fuss blah blah to try n get her off your back i think she needs to be needed u should try n find someway she can be needed for something and make a big fuss so she is happy and backs off a bit
I agree with you. The SIL is always suggesting the same thing... It's just she can't shop very well... I don't want her buying clothes or things that require taste (oops, did it again :o) but she has trouble buying MILK! We've ben buying our own milk as they get long life skim. So when I bought a 3L milk the other day, she said to me all frustrated "Why do you keep on buying milk? I have one here still full?". We explained it's long life skim and I particularly like to DRINK milk so it has to TASTE nice. She sees we like Yoghurt so she tries to buy the same thing but ends up getting the wrong one as she goes on the pictures as she can't read english. So it would be very hard to be specific.
I was really impressed when one day, I asked her to get me some Curash. I sent her out with a sample sachet to match to the label in the shop!
When the SIL and I were gossipping about her one day, she told me she'd taken her to Woolies one day and when they'd move a few things around in the aisles she got the sh!ts because she shops for the exact same thing every single time. She just knows the locations of what she needs in Woolies and Aldi.
Anyway, I WILL think of something...
DH just played "hey there Delilah" on youtube. It reminds me of when Sam first kicked. I was singing along really loud on the way to work and he kicked me about 3 times. Mustn't like mummy's singing voice! It was the only day DH had time off work and I didn't so I was alone in the car.
Just scrolled down. Welcome back Candiee - this lot can chat - don't bother trying to catch up!
And we'll miss you too oconky!
where do i get those cube thingos...? i looked today but couldnt find
I got mine from a baby shop but someone said they saw them in Woolies. I'd say they'd be in lots of places. I'll do some digging for you - closest shops Sunshine Plaza, aka "the plaza"?!
stg i got mine from bigw baby section
oconcky too funny:laughing: my tmi is dylan has this car thing he sits in like a big rocker thing got it from target the seat part is kinda like one in a walker so anyways dylan isnt much of a pooer only goes maybe 2/3 a week but he must love doing his poo in his car cause seriously the last 10 poos he has done have all been done in his car:laughing: goes right up his back too cause of the way he is sitting, we are calling it "the poomobile". :laughing: edit to delete 2 of my 3 anyways haha

WB Candiee :hugs::wave:

Hi all
Had a shocker with Riley last nite, well shocker for us anyways. I gave a dreamfeed at 10.30pm, then he woke at 1am and I told Wade to go and pat him, he was awake again at 1.30am, so I fed him, then again at 5am and then wouldn't go back to sleep, so patting for ages and the he slept till 8.30am. Waking for these nite feeds lately is wrecking me. I had a 1-2 hour sleep today with the boys, I was sooo tired.
Riley has been rolling so much lately. He has forgotten how to roll from tummy to back, but everytime I put him on his back he instantly rolls to his belly and whinges. I just can't keep him on his back anymore. Finding it harder and harder to amuse him of late, doesn't take long and he is whinging. My bumbo seat arrived today, so hopefully that does the trick.
Lachlan slept thru last nite, Yay, hopefully 2nite is the same.
Hoi all you foxy morons :wave:
I'm still here, I try to get on once a day to read all there posts (...there sure are a lot) but havent posted for a while. Sometimes I think about posting but then the thread moves so fast that i kind of miss my chance.
DD2 is still a delight, she is doing all the things all the other bubs are doing, she is rolling all over the place, likes to put her dummy back in tho not always successful, and smiles all the time. She loves DD1 too, always smiling and laughing at her, despite all the rough treatment (but well intended). She is nearly 5 months and 7.5kg so doing well. That said she has been a bit fussy at the breast the last couple of days. I always find something to blame tho - wanting solids, my hormones changing, teeth...but who knows, what babies are thinking is really a mystery, we are just guessing!! :yes:
I have an IKEA highchair that i bought off ebay. It cost $16 (yes I am a bit of a tight a$$) and is just white moulded plastic, but it is EXCELLENT. So many of my friends have spent hundreds on theirs and end up frustrated as they get so filthy. I would def recommend them.
I also used just plain ice cube trays for freezing DD1s food, they are pretty much the same as the baby cubes, but maybe a bit cheaper. Also you dont really need a blender, at our mums group we had a former middie give a talk about introducing solids, she said everything can be mashed with a fork. So I have found that if it is difficult to mash it just needs to go back in the steamer for a bit longer... I am all about making my life easy (read: lazy :laughing:) and it is one less item to clean.
I have honeymoonbubs phone no so will send her a text and let her know everyone has been thinking of her. :D
lol with the poos, dd2 poos whenever we are in the car for more than about 1/2hr, so from learning the hard way I have a small piece of cloth in her car seat that catches the spills. Way better than taking the whole seat out!
I also use snugglers during the day and huggies at night. Snugglers are made by the same company as huggies. They work perfectly during the day. I usually buy the boxes from BigW, they work out pretty cheap, partic if you can get them on special. I tried the target brand with DD1 for a while but wasnt impressed.
i hear you all with the weightloss, I have deliberately avoided the scales as they're not gonna tell me anything I dont already know...that I still have a pot belly. I swear by the evening it looks like I am 4 months pg again. I think I am only a couple of kgs heavier than pre preg, but it all seems to be sitting on my spare tyre lol. oh yeah and on the two chest mountains that are aka breasts...
i think i might make an effort to post once a day?!? we'll see how i go.

Evening one and all!
Ive had a good day. Liam and I met up with a workmate for lunch at Maccas. She was in a CBF with work mood, and is in a position to take as much time for her lunch as she likes, so we sat around gossiping for a good hour.
Then I went shopping, like a lot of you, hit the Target sale, where I spent nearly $100 on clothes for Liam! Target stocks a range of clothes by Fisher Price which are just tooooo cute! I bought him the "Cute as a bug" all in one, I also have the giraffe all in one, and the monkey one.
Also went to Myers and bought him some clothes in the Sprout range which I also love. All these clothes are size 0:eek: and mainly for summer, pjs, shorts and t-shirts.
While we're playing "where are they now?", we havent heard from Dondons or Candie for ages, they used to post regularly. Hope all is going well for them.
OK, gotta go. Hope you all have a great night, and the bubs all sleep like babies! Take care:flowerz:
Awesome! I am heading to Myer tomorrow to use some of my Myer One voucher thingies (maybeee). On the look out for Xmas pressies.
:wave: :wave:
i am so thick...
i was wondering what happened to our group, didn't think to look under birthing groups...derrrr
i know it's only taken me what 4 months...
here is an update anyway.
Kobi is growing good he is such a cutie and getting very cheeky.
we moved house at the start of the month and ever since we moved in there has been nothing but trouble, first the front door lock broke, we had to build a gate so we could have our dogs, the water pipes are blocked and still keep flooding the back yard, the dishwasher died and had to get a new one...
then i have been down to my parents (4hr drive) 3 times, had a death in the family, a wedding and a birthday.
in between all that i have been getting out and about to bubhub meets and enjoying the weather and the kids.
Kobi is almost sitting by himself, rolls onto belly but is trying but struggling to roll from belly to back.
he was sleeping through the night for almost a month and now he has changed his mind and wakes twice a night again.
it is so great watching his face light up when he sees his big sister and he just thinks she is the bees knees even though she can get a bit rough.
there is a few photos up on FB yet to upload more as my camera is almost full yet again.
how is everyone and how are all the bubs going.
can't believe 4 months has gone by, it's sad to see my baby growing up so fast, but still great watching him learn and discover new things.
my DH is away for work at the moment, hopfully his last trip for a while, miss him heaps when he is away and i miss having that extra pair of hands.
well know i know where you have all been hiding i'll be sure to pop in and annoy you all again :p
Hello! Welcome back!! We are doing secret santa. You should totally join us :) There's a sign up 'sheet' and a poll on the apr-jun 08 bit of this thread. Yaay!
ps. I still just LOVE the name Kobi

Fingers crossed for lach sleeping through tonight! Also, El is doing the same thing as Riley. Won't stop rolling on to his belly, but won't roll back and gets the poops until I flip him. They must have forgotten!

He is starting to stir so will want feeding soon.
:wave: i have had another rough night here while DH is away.
i didn't get to bed until 11pm (was up late biding on stuff on ebay) the Kobi woke at 11.30, then woke at 12 did a poo, then woke at 1.30 then had another feed at 2pm then finally slept until 4am and has been wide awake since 5am, he isn't screaming or crying just wants to play and squeal :hair: so now he will probably sleep all day :rolleyes:
we are off to the park today for a BH meet so at least DD will burn off some more energy.
i have to go and pick up my last layby for Xmas this weekend, and i just have to buy a few more little things for Kobi and a present for my youngest niece and i am all done.

yeah I wonder?
Just thought id let you's know, you know how charli can roll from back tummy easily but not really the other way around, well she has perfected it today.
She rolls EVERYWHERE. one side of room to the other and she is soo proud of herself lol
Now I gota keep the floors spotless. Dont want her eating a moth or something hahah
:yelclap:Go Charli.....
Well done Charli!
The IL's bought Sam some pressies at the hospy.... Hhmmmm, must be nice. One was a teddy bear blanket which the MIL said is for when Sam lies on the floor (already got a teddy bear blanket which is exclusively for on the floor from my mum - used to be my brother's and I love it) AND...... A PINK pillow with a big shell on the front, filled with POT POURRI! I made a hole in the plastic to sniff and it REAKS! Oh I didn't do a good job of being nice... Oopsy!
They said there were no more blue ones, so they got the pink (still had $4 price sticker so thank god they didn't go all out). Now to be really nasty..... I spent a lot of time making his "corner" all co-ordinated. I don't want to put a pink pllow in his cot! Also, when we first put the cot up, the MIL said "you need a pillow" and we explained it's not safe and unnecessary... and today she says to just "put it in his cot"... Just confims she NEVER listens to me.
I think I'm just tired. Don't want to sound un-greatful. I could be like sk6 and get nothing! Or was it something religious in the end??? I just don't want them to spend money on these silly little things that I need to find more hiding places for! Last time they bought him a jacket which had the buttons sewn on backwards so you can't do it up!
On a positive note, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow! You two still in kotakai & lambkin? Hope so!
And Fluffball's been on Facebook recently... if that helps.
Do they still make pot pourri :laughing: .....

We expect to see Sam dressed in his BEE outfit today!!
I got mine from a baby shop but someone said they saw them in Woolies. I'd say they'd be in lots of places. I'll do some digging for you - closest shops Sunshine Plaza, aka "the plaza"?!

Sorry girls way too much to catch up on since yesterday am...slow the chatter down!
If anyone mentioned where I can get a high chair cushion, sorry can you mention again.
DH mentioned a trip to Sydney for my 40th birthday (god, did I say 40?? How did that happen?) in January, so that might be nice. Maybe I could meet up with some ladies from Sydney on here if we do fly down. Will have to look at the cost of flights as it will be school hols.
Now back to work for me.
Hi all
Had a shocker with Riley last nite, well shocker for us anyways.

Lachlan slept thru last nite, Yay, hopefully 2nite is the same.
:hugs: for your rough night! We all understand. I find it harder of late to amuse Summer before she is whinging. Thats why we go to the shops alot, even just to look around, it keeps her amused as she just loves to stare at everything and everyone. As soon as I stop the pram for more then a minute she gets antsy! Exhausting!!!!!
i have had another rough night here while DH is away.
i didn't get to bed until 11pm (was up late biding on stuff on ebay) the Kobi woke at 11.30, then woke at 12 did a poo, then woke at 1.30 then had another feed at 2pm then finally slept until 4am and has been wide awake since 5am, he isn't screaming or crying just wants to play and squeal so now he will probably sleep all day

oh a wii fit would be so cool.
:hugs: for your rough night too.
Love the name Kobi. That was our choice if we had a boy.
Gosh you are so organised :thumbsup:
hey..it's Halloween!!
We expect to see Sam dressed in his BEE outfit today!!
YES YES YES :laughing:
Hey dondons, thanks for trying to keep up with us!
Well my most fave childcare rang this morning and said they had up to 3 days available but it starts on 5 Jan :( May mean I would have to return to work early, just to keep the spot. DP and I would only start her one day a week though. He said he can work one day from home and I could do 2 full days/week. MY GOD I was just looking on the Seek website and there are jobs for my role paying $55k/yr + super for just 15 hours/week :eek: but they couldn't guarantee her a spot if I wanted to start her in June.
One day a week in childcare wouldn't be so bad would it?? Oh god, I don't know. My beautiful sweet baby.

Wow, thats fantastic money!
Seriously, kids thrive going to childcare! JIMO, they adjust better if they go more than one day a week...too long between days, if that makes sense. You will be heartbroken, your littly after a settling in period, will love it!
Meant to say, all you girls loosing the kgs, fantastic!

K8y- i am planning on putting Q in childcare for one day a week next year even though i will not be working just to get her used to being around other children and not with me all the time but if i was going to earn 55k i would totally do it!! i wish i had that earning power good on you!
MOS- what is this bee outfit? how cute!
Shereejoy- Sorry you had such a tough night. I think its alright to get up and put the dummy in or feed but when they start staying up for hours in the middle of the night it just gets too much. I hope it settles down for you soon.
Hi Candiee i am kinda new on here but welcome back anyways! Good work on being done for xmas i ma lucky and my sister always takes over ,we do joint gifts for our whole family seeing as we have so many siblings otherwise they would just egt a bunch of littel crappy things i am sure this year we are giving everyone watches. And you should beg hard for the wii fit, i have one and i love it probably dont use it as much as i should but we were given it and the wii for a baby present so i don't feel like i spent money to waste it.
Everyone with the myer vouchers i have one but can't find my card can you tell me if they ask for it? oh well shouldn't spend money anyway considering we just spent $700 on baby photos!
sk6 thanks for your post, it was very reassuring!
I will also consider maybe 2 days a week now as what you are saying makes sense :yes:
ETA mybabyq it is good money hey. Enough for me to consider doing it even though I didn't want to go back to work until June. The job is actually a step down for me too so wonder why the pay is soooo good :confused:
lambkin SORRY I forgot to say thank you for the offer of the cushion. I really appreciate it! As it's only $10 it is probably not worth your efforts! I will check it out the store.
Summer started rolling yesterday. She did tummy to back and back to tummy. I managed to get a quick video of one of them (for DP as he was in Airlie at the time), but she is a bit random:

k8y- wow that is good money- are you not going back to your old job??? GL making a decision, I guess since it is your preferred place, it will be worth it to get in, but know how you feel I am still undecided about going back to work for many reasons and I am going to have mum as a carer.
well I have to start xmas shopping, but forgot my list the other day...they have cute little santa outfits in Target ATM soo cute. my brother managed to get me one box of the nappies which was good...maybe I should just get another box and exchange the sizes later??
sk6 be great to meet you guys if you do a trip to Sydney.
definitely have to see the BEE outfit when you get home MOS!
well done Summer :yelclap:Pip can now roll back to tummy but has only done it in her cot so far and she too whinges as she can't roll back, particularly as she has her sleeping bag on.

how cute! miss c is yet to roll
yep, lets all gang up on mos, she has to put sam in the bee outfit and take a photo!
sorry re no caps, doing this one handed.
k8y that video is so cute. i think its funny how excited we all get when they do any little thing. i used to make fun of parents for that, now i totally get it! mum and i were so proud of nicklas for turning around in his jolly jumper, even though it was probably a fluke!! :)

i cant believe you chatter boxes got us kicked out of our old thread..lol and this was only yesterday and already there are 7 pages to catch up on!
I got my dyson :smiliedance: Dh wasn't even that grumpy about the price and when we got home he vacuumed a room and says to me " Yes it is definately well made" I can't believe how much s#it i got out of the carpets :o
Ofcourse in return for MY vac he is going to buy his new bike jacket. He said he will buy me all the gear which i was happy about. A neaw leather jacket would be great but it has all the protective inserts that don't come out so i couldn't just wear it around. :thumbsdown: and i'm not a big fan of the bike. It's scary.
Talking bout poos, Lara did a massive one in her rocker this morning it dribbled out the side of her nappy. So grose.
Welcome back candiee and dondons. There are so many mummies on the list who don't post. We'd have to start up a new thread everyday if they did.

They do say to put them on more than 1 day to help them adjust but because they are so little I don't even think they notice the difference. I have Michael in care 2 hours a week and he is just fine. I think it's harder when they get older as they understand more. Kirilly is in care 3 days a week. 3 days straight and then 4 days at home. That first morning she goes to care she screams and it's like we start over again every week. But by Thursday she is asking to go to the carers house again.
Kotakai - how do you crush those losec tablets. They are a pain. Saw the pediatrician y'day and he doesn't think that Michael is allergic to it. He thinks the compounding chemist didn't make it right as the measurement didn't sound right. So he recommended another chemist at the hospital which is out of my way and parking is a pain. So DH suggesting getting the tablet and he will do it. Yeah right!
He also put him on mylanta.
Must admit in just 1 day I have noticed a very small improvement.
Sydney girls - can we have a meet on a wed or thurds so I can make it too. Pretty please.
C38 - Happy birthday for yesterday. Sorry I'm late. I only get on every second day.

Sorry girls way too much to catch up on since yesterday am...slow the chatter down!
If anyone mentioned where I can get a high chair cushion, sorry can you mention again.
DH mentioned a trip to Sydney for my 40th birthday (god, did I say 40?? How did that happen?) in January, so that might be nice. Maybe I could meet up with some ladies from Sydney on here if we do fly down. Will have to look at the cost of flights as it will be school hols.
Now back to work for me.
Hey isn't 40 the new 20 ;) that would be a great trip!
for your rough night! We all understand. I find it harder of late to amuse Summer before she is whinging. Thats why we go to the shops alot, even just to look around, it keeps her amused as she just loves to stare at everything and everyone. As soon as I stop the pram for more then a minute she gets antsy! Exhausting!!!!!
oh a wii fit would be so cool.
for your rough night too.
Love the name Kobi. That was our choice if we had a boy.
Gosh you are so organised
YES YES YES
Hey dondons, thanks for trying to keep up with us!
Well my most fave childcare rang this morning and said they had up to 3 days available but it starts on 5 Jan May mean I would have to return to work early, just to keep the spot. DP and I would only start her one day a week though. He said he can work one day from home and I could do 2 full days/week. MY GOD I was just looking on the Seek website and there are jobs for my role paying $55k/yr + super for just 15 hours/week but they couldn't guarantee her a spot if I wanted to start her in June.
One day a week in childcare wouldn't be so bad would it?? Oh god, I don't know. My beautiful sweet baby.
Thats great $$$ .....how bout you look into family daycare thats another option,Jake goes every mon :yes: I much perfer it as its in a home enviroment,theres nothing wrong with normal daycare though hun,I just like how there are only 5 kiddies at the one Jake goes too,they learn to interact with other adults & children by going to daycare its good for them,I felt like you did,I cried......but its good for them to know that mummy goes & comes back!
i cant believe you chatter boxes got us kicked out of our old thread..lol and this was only yesterday and already there are 7 pages to catch up on!

I agree Scary.....im lucky as DH is not into them at all.
can you tell i am getting excited about xmas? i love it kids make xmas so much better...
ohh has anyone seen in target they have little santa suit romper things, they are so cute, i am going to get one for Kobi.
Ooh! I bought one of those for Sam last week. It's a short sleeved and short legged romper in red with white around the arms and legs and a little white collar. It has a black belt printed on it and "Santa's little helper" in one corner. If you're lucky I'll put that on and take a pic too!
hey..it's Halloween!!
We expect to see Sam dressed in his BEE outfit today!!
OK, OK... I can see you've started them all ganging up on me...

How awful to have to let her go... but it's going to be awful no matter when you do it. I'd love to send Sam somewhere to play with others kids when the time comes but I doubt the family will allow that... they'd see me as leaving him with strangers unnecessarily. I kind of agree but I can definitely see the benefits in it. Awww.... I'm torn for you! Best of luck making your decision.
MOs - you are "very ungrateful" re not liking a pink cushion for Sam!
Look out sk6 - If I get you as my Secret Santa, C will be getting a very cute little pot pourri cushion! :laughing:
MOS- what is this bee outfit? how cute!
I won a competition when I was PG. It was an animal outfit. I chose the Bee one as it was the only one which wasn't girlish.
Summer started rolling yesterday. She did tummy to back and back to tummy. I managed to get a quick video of one of them (for DP as he was in Airlie at the time), but she is a bit random:

yep, lets all gang up on mos, she has to put sam in the bee outfit and take a photo!
Maybe I'll send you the BEE outfit too!
Sydney girls - can we have a meet on a wed or thurds so I can make it too. Pretty please.
For sure! I'm free any day so just let me know.

You're not a wonder woman? Snap your fingers and have it clean again for the next morning! You never know... I was only joking but it might be warm enough!
This morning was very nice. I had fun. Sam loed it too. He had some nice cuddles with Lambkin...and then chucked all down the front of her... sorry again about that! :o
I didn't find the pants I was looking for in Katies but I did go to Carlingford and pick up my nappies. Then I went to Woolies to get some stuff for dinner and I saw they had a special on the same boxes of nappies - 2 for $66 - so it was almost the sae. But you had to buy two so I suppose my hard work wasn't wasted with Target.. then again he's at the beginning of that size, so I probably would have bought 2... :rolleyes:
The IL's have gone back to the hospy to sit with the aunty as she's not well. I got some nice stuff to make a salad for dinner and just some frozed fish things. Nice and easy and light for the warm weather.
I'm going to have a play with my new toy this afternoon - RIGHT AFTER I PLAY DRESS-UPS!
So best get to it!
I won't come back without photographic evidence!

Well girls I had a bit of a meltdown this morning :hissy:
It all gets a bit much with DS1 sometimes...I rang up someone to see if I could do a positive parenting course but the lady told me they only run the classes when they have enough numbers :rolleyes:.............however there is a parent line you can phone whenever you have concerns etc,the lady on the other end of the line was really nice we spoke for about 1/2 hour.
We spoke about how to see things through the eyes of a toddler having a new baby in the house etc,I just lost it with him this morning(even swore at him I never do that):no:....I feel like such a bad mother..........the guilts I have are really bad.....but I feel better after talking with her & my aim is to be more consistant,time outs..no smacks etc..& I guess for me I need to be more patient with him,but some days its so hard when hes been so naughty...I could just scream :crying: sometimes I do! I need to try & stay calm & take deep breaths......the joys of toddler years.......I just love him so much I want the very best for him in life,I want him to feel loved & needed.....as he so much is...as Casey gets older it will become easier as they will play together....
Thanks for listening.....sorry to vent:devil6:

Im disgusted to say, DD1 was such a pain the other day, I bellowed at her FFS. I was so ashamed of myself..made her cry, poor little thing.
So we as parents all do things we are not proud of. I try to tell myself, tommorrow I will try harder.
So you WILL have a better day tommorrow!
Awwww :hugs: BB. I'm sure we'll all have our moments eventually... when those toddler years come and bite us in the butts!
You are a wonderful mother for seeking help ad for wanting to improve. No matter how good you arwe, there's always room for improvement. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Welcome back Candiee & Dondons :wave:
Good to see you today Lambkin & MOS!
Kotakai - how do you crush those losec tablets. They are a pain. Saw the pediatrician y'day and he doesn't think that Michael is allergic to it. He thinks the compounding chemist didn't make it right as the measurement didn't sound right. So he recommended another chemist at the hospital which is out of my way and parking is a pain. So DH suggesting getting the tablet and he will do it. Yeah right!
Sydney girls - can we have a meet on a wed or thurds so I can make it too. Pretty please.
Def DON"T crush them. Chais is on half a tablet in the morning & half at night of the 20mg one. At first he was half & half of the 10mg one & the 3/4 of the 10mg one, so you need to know what dose your dr wants him on. I cut my tablets with a razor blade, as you need something very sharp, as it has to be completely even. I then put the half tablet in a plastic syringe (pull the plunger bit out, stick it in & then put the plunger back in) suck up a bit of water & shake, shake, shake. Seriously, you need to shake heaps to make sure it's mixed. I then slowly squirt it into his mouth. I usually need to suck up more water a couple of times to make sure I get all the bits. Also if you don't rinse the syringe straight away, you'll be able to tell after a while if you missed any, as you get these little purple/black type bits in there.
I can also do a Thursday some times.
Can't wait to put her in it but now i have to decide what day to wear it because i am danish so we have our xmas on christmas eve but DH has his on Christmas day so who should see her looking all cute?
I am also Dutch & Danish (my Dad was born in Copenhagen (sp?), & we also used to do Christmas Eve. We now do the weekend before Christmas as most of the family go away & want to beat the rush. It's so good not having to decide which family you'll see on xmas day or rushing around everywhere.

I just wish she would find another best friend. These people are pleasant, but just meat heads if you get my drift.
DD1 hassles me for a sleep over...Im so not going to let her stay there overnight.
They also want to take her on their boat (we have a boat to), I said no, as she sometimes looses it if the tides are rough.
This is so hard, especially re the sleep overs. In fact the father gives me the creeps!

They also want to take her on their boat (we have a boat to), I said no, as she sometimes looses it if the tides are rough.
This is so hard, especially re the sleep overs. In fact the father gives me the creeps!
If it doesn't feel right it prob isn't sk6 go with your gut instincts.
Hi everyone!
K8y - love the video of Summer rolling, clever girl! I just love the surprised look babies give when they roll over:goodvibes:
MOS - how cute is Sam in that bee outfit! Just adorable
Stg - Charli has teeth!:eek:Hope shes not in too much pain.
Candiee and Dondons, welcome back! Did you both "hear" me wondering where you got to? I'll see if I can call some others back......Fra99le, Honeymoonbub, where are you guys? Hope all is well.
Not much to report here. Liam slept all night:smiliedance: and had a huge 2.5 hour sleep this afternoon. Hes down again now, hopefully for a while.
Hope you all have a great evening, and a good weekend. Take care:flowerz:

:sleeping:Night!!!
Hope you all get some good sleep........casey didn't drink all his bottle so am thinking a dream feed will be the go.
:goodvibes:
I don't think I'll go back to my old job. It's a long story, but it's not a happy place there anymore :no:
Summer has her first swim lesson tomorrow :smiliedance: Oh must remember to charge the camera batter!
sounds like my dilemma money very good where I used to work, but dynamic of the workplace has changed soo much, not sure if it is worth it! GL with swimming lessons....still didn't do that this week.
:hugs:BB hopefully Jake will settle down for you.
I too will be dream feeding this evening!!
Kyles- that is great news with Liam's sleeping

hallo hallo hallo!!
Thanks kotakai and MOS for today! We had a lovely time! And thank you to Sam and Chaise for the cuddles ;) Don't worry about the spew. By the end of the day, I was wearing more spew than dress!
We were at Castle Towers aaalll day. Didn't leave until 5! I got some ugly swimmers and a wading pool and a dress and gosh.. if I told you what I didn't buy it would be quicker. I also allowed myself to be talked into getting a Pixiphoto done. Ugh. Oh well. It was only $5 and the print is o.k. I liked another one they took but she wanted $75!! For ONE PHOTO about half the size of an A4 piece of paper. The nerve of those people, I tell you! She wanted over 2 grand for the whole lot.
We came home and did our own little pixiphoto inspired photoshoot and I am quite happy with them and they aren't going to cost $75 each to get printed!
Gosh what else was I going to say??
Hmm.
Oh that's right. I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you, really, for keeping me sane and happy. I was such a mess when I came back on here and have been feeling so much better lately, which I really owe to being able to participate in (mainly) adult interaction, methinks. So thankyou and lots of love from me and Elliot xx
Awwww :hugs: you don't seem like a mess. Today you seemed like a very well put together mummy! Maybe next time I'll let Elliott spew on me to return the favour! And $75 for ONE PHOTO?! :eek: I look forward to seeing your home-pixie-photo shoot. It'll be much better that way anyway because this one was done with LOVE. ;)
Well I baby sat again this arvo and it was great knowing the IL's weren't going to be home for dinner as I was able to grab some nice salad stuff and just get some of those light lemon crumbed frozen fish things. I made a salad with avocado and mango and chopped cashews on top. It was so out of the ordinary for the IL's but they ate it and I even caught the MIL scraping the last of it off the platter into her mouth just before she did the dishes! :D She said thank you twice... very nice.
I really love to cook but hate doing it while people are standing over me asking me why I do it this way, etc. Yesterday I stripped the bed and carried my sheets out to the laundry. She aske me "why didn't you take the basket in your bedroom and fill it in there?"... It's not hard to carry a pile of sheets 10 metres! Just little things I suppose... But since she's been at the hospital a lot it's given me the chance to do what I love PLUS maybe make her aware I'm not useless!
I must brag now. Sam has slept through a fair bit before but he normally grizzles during the night. I normally just put the dummy in and he stays asleep. Until last night, he NEVER had a night where he didn't grumble once. This morning DH kissed me good bye as h left for work at 5:30am and I FREAKED! Sam hadn't grumbled or made one single noise ALL NIGHT! I asked him to check on him, he kissed him as he "just couldn't resist" and as soon as DH was gone, he was awake. I brought him into bed, laid brekkie (boobie!) out in front of him and went back to bed.
I think it may have had something to do with the switch back to the Huggies. He had wet through during the night more than not with the cr@ppy Aldi and Toys R Us nappies... I told DH I would use up the cr@ppy ones during the day to get rid of them. He said if they're bad, don't bother. I feel so good. So they're in the wardrobe in the spare bedroom. Might take the Aldi ones at least to a friend as I know she uses them and loves them - she's the reason I gave them a try - well SHE got a free half box of nappies out of that one! :rolleyes:
mybabyQ, beautiful pics of Q on FB... but I think one of your friends thinks you had a boy... :dizzy: She certainly has her daddy's colouring. I can see you in her too though.
And Lambkin, I just had a thought.... well more of an epiphany actually. I'm onto you! I'm not STUPID!!! I'm going to figure it out if we all end up getting "Lambkin" as a Secret Santa! You WILL NOT get 20 presents for little Elliott. I know he's cute but it just wouldn't be fair on the other babies!
I'm watching you focker! ;)

Well girls I had a bit of a meltdown this morning :hissy:
It all gets a bit much with DS1 sometimes...I rang up someone to see if I could do a positive parenting course but the lady told me they only run the classes when they have enough numbers :rolleyes:.............however there is a parent line you can phone whenever you have concerns etc,the lady on the other end of the line was really nice we spoke for about 1/2 hour.
We spoke about how to see things through the eyes of a toddler having a new baby in the house etc,I just lost it with him this morning(even swore at him I never do that):no:....I feel like such a bad mother..........the guilts I have are really bad.....but I feel better after talking with her & my aim is to be more consistant,time outs..no smacks etc..& I guess for me I need to be more patient with him,but some days its so hard when hes been so naughty...I could just scream :crying: sometimes I do! I need to try & stay calm & take deep breaths......the joys of toddler years.......I just love him so much I want the very best for him in life,I want him to feel loved & needed.....as he so much is...as Casey gets older it will become easier as they will play together....
Thanks for listening.....sorry to vent:devil6:
It is tuff hey! I hear you. No easy answer hey, but I guess they just need to know their boundaries. I find smacking lachlan does nothing, but send him to the naughty corner seems to work better if you can ignore their crying. I ignore him more then Wade when he carries on, I find when Wade pays him the attention it is worse. Wade and I are on different ends of the spectrum of parenting and it does not help. but I do understand that he doesn't see him much. I always appear like the bad guy, it is just a loosing battle for me sometimes, one that I choose not to fight as much as I use too. Sorry you didn't need to hear all that!

Riley is waking every 2.5 to 3 hours all night long (this is worse then when he was born - he was 4 hourly right from the start). I am sooo tired! I know he is doing this because he won't feed thru the day.... Argggh if only he would! The last two days I have had a 1.5 hour sleep, thank god Riley has allowed me to do this, otherwise I would be a mess. I was so spoilt in that 5 weeks he slept from 9-12 hours straight every night. Why can't he do that again!!!!!!

Thanks you got me. I have no idea how to use it very well yet!
No, I don't have any family nearby. I am going to Mackay (3 hours away) on Sunday for a week to family as Lachlan and Riley have specialist appts, so hopefully I can get sum rest there. I just hope this is a very small phase of waking so constantly!

Hi girls,
Gosh you lot can talk:D just spent ages trying to catch up.
Well I've had a crappy day - had to take my parents to the airport today after a nice 3 and a bit weeks with them. I hate saying goodbyes, but this time just dropped them at departures and ran (on the advice of my dad) as my mum wasn't in a good way. I hate seeing her so upset - she used to be bad just leaving me and now having to leave DD as well it just breaks my heart. They attempted to get me to commit to a date when we would go home for a holiday but I really can't promise anything until I go back to work and we see how the finances go.
Not sure what DD or the dog will do in the morning when they realise they've gone for good - not just gone out for the day:no:
So now it's on with our lives - still waiting to hear from work if they'll let me work Mon & Tues in the office and perhaps one other day from home (not holding out much hope for the home bit). Looking forward to seeing my old colleagues and going back to a less stressful role for the same money:yelclap:Its so much easier knowing that my OH will be looking after DD while he works Weds to Sunday and has Mon & Tues off. Still have her name down with childcare places for Feb tho just in case things don't work out or I decide to do more days.
As for DD she is being a little beauty as normal - mind you she hasn't slept much today - we went all the way to the airport and she didn't fall asleep until I was about 2 minutes from home on the way back! so I had to wake her up. Put her to bed around 8ish after she'd had a couple of hours sleep early evening, and that should be the end of her until 6ish tomorrow. We did have a couple of nights last week where she woke and wouldn't go to sleep unless she was on me but all in all I really can't complain. Doesn't matter if she wakes now in the night as we have our spare room back to sleep in - rather than the theatre room!
Ok off to bed now - night night all :wave:

Probably off to the doc mind you they wont tell me anything i don't already know.

Im off to the Noiseworks concert tonight....:smiliedance:.........also have Crowded House coming up & Shannon Noll.
Casey slept through without the dream feed I was too tired to stay up....he didn't even grizzle in his sleep as he sometimes does.
Hes already had 2hours this morning aswell:yelclap:
Not much on today..housework etc
Think we will have a bbq for dinner...:sunshine:
Well done Casey! :yelclap:
Well last night it wasn't quite so quiet in our room... even heard one of the IL's get up and use the toilet just after Sam had screamed the house down, so I fear he woke them too... I'm sure he would have slept through but he wet through his HUGGIES this time! :rolleyes: Maybe my litte boy just has a bladder that conventional nappies can't handle! :laughing: Silly me kept on sticking the dummy in and trying to settle him. I am not awake enough at 4am to think enough to feel around his butt to check he's still dry. I just keep on sticking the dummy back in. It could have all been fixed within about 5 mins but noooo....
It's bad around that time too because DH's alarm goes off at 5am so if he gets woken at 4am, he can't get back to sleep properly... :no:
He's off at work now. If he finishes on time we're going out for an arvo meal at the local pub. They have a nice outside area and their meals are HUGE and CHEAP! If he works overtime, we're going to have to figure something else out as it turns into a bit of a meat market afterwards! :D
:hugs: shereejoy you poor poppet, you must be exhausted. Hope the losec works soon so he feeds better and gives his poor mum a rest!
lambkin, we'll be keeping our eye on you now that MOS has outed you on the presents! :laughing: gosh El looks gorgeous in those photos.
BB have a great night tonight :goodvibes:
chaiseandlarasmummy I hope Chaise is okay, the poor darling. 40 degrees, she must feel terrible :hugs:
Summer had an awesome sleep last night, granted she was soooo buggered though. We had a huge day yesterday, running around the shops, fruit and veg shopping, ran into friends, then home for feed and 20min nap lol, then off to chiro, then off to meet friends at coffee club for a drink (she napped in the pram), then home to unpack fruit and veg and feed and organise lollies for halloweeners, then next door for big bbq, then bathed her and she conked, so we went back next door for drinks, then I was a zombie by 9pm lol
Swimming lesson this morning, gosh she was cute and she loved it. She kept kicking her legs too, which I think was all from being in the jolly jumper, it has taught her great mobility. Am uploading photos now so will post in a minute.
I'm sure he would have slept through but he wet through his HUGGIES this time! :rolleyes: Maybe my litte boy just has a bladder that conventional nappies can't handle! :laughing:
Do you know what you could try? Buy the next size up nappy & put it over the top so he has two on. I've never tried it, but heard from friends that it worked really well for them.

I uploaded a couple of small vids but for some reason the quality is sh!t on the uploads though it's perfect on my computer :confused:
Hi all!
Im half way through doing the vacuuming, Liam has decided to have a nap in the lounge, so I cant finish it yet....what a shame.......NOT!
C&Lmummy - Hope Chaise's temp comes down really soon, and shes feeling better, poor thing, and hope you can get some sleep!
BB - enjoy the Noiseworks concert! LOL, I saw them about 20 years ago......but now Im just showing my age! BTW they put on a really good show if I remember correctly:thumbsup: Great to hear Casey had a good night, too.
MOS - :fingerscrossed:you get your meal at the pub. Sounds like my kind of food - huge and cheap. You might even get some free entertainment, watching the sad old meat market in action! Although, maybe not so appropriate for a baby!
Shereejoy - :fingerscrossed:that the losec kicks in for you and Riley really soon. Will add you to my facebook as well.
K8y - sounds like you had an awesome day yesterday!
Do you know what you could try? Buy the next size up nappy & put it over the top so he has two on. I've never tried it, but heard from friends that it worked really well for them.
Ive heard this works too, but Ive heard youre meant to put some holes in the first nappy to help with "drainage".
Hope you all have a great Saturday. Take care everyone:flowerz:
Aww K8y who had more fun at the swimming lesson, Summer or Dad? Really cute pics!:D

Beautiful pic k8y. I had a look earlier but there wasn't 46 pics so I might go back and look again. She looked so small sitting on the wall looking up the line at all of the "bigger kids". She looks beautiful in her new little rashie and it appears she handled it well - no bottom lip out from what I saw. Well done Summer! :yelclap:
Went to the SIL's for lunch and now I'm back. The MIL had a headache so stayed on the lounge, even though she was invited. The FIL was already there as he is the designated lawn mower in the family. He does ALL of the lawns. DH thinks it's cruel of the other siblings getting him to do it. The only time we had a lawn to mow was in Noosa so we always did it ourselves... or paid someone else to do it! :laughing:
There is a mass tonight to mark 40 days since the uncle's passing. DH doesn't want to go. He does funerals but the masses that follow, etc are a little OTT. So he's told me he's going to text me when he's leaving work and then I am to say he's working overtime and I'm going to visit a friend. Then we're meeting at the pub! ;) Sneaky but hey, you do what you have to do. I won't be expected to go with a small baby. I went to the funeral and that's enough obligation from me but he will be expected to go to the mass... and made to feel like he has to - which he hates... so we may still get our nice meal together after all. Just not sure if I an fit it in or not now after a big lunch. :o
I've added you on FB babywez... now I get where the name comes from! :yelclap:

Kotakai has a good idea:detective:....I was going to suggest nappy liners...they are cheap & will do the trick:thumbsup:...also you prob know this but when you put a nappy on boys you need to pull the flaps out from the crutch area IFYKWIM,they are not really flaps though.

Thanks for that... I know about the little frills around the legs... and pointing the willy down! I put his nappy on after his bath last night and he fell asleep about an hour later. Maybe tonight I will change his nappy again JUST BEFORE he goes down... :rolleyes:

:geek: OH BUGGER! DH just called. He can't meet me at the nice pub with the beer garden as he's all dirty from work. He meant the dingy pub down the road... to which I refuse to take Sam. He knows I can't meet him there but he can't go to the nice one without a shower. There is an uncle here visiting now so there's no way he can come home without having to go to this mass... and I'm stuck here too. :banghead:
Hi Ladies, :wave:
I entered a competition on a website a few weeks back and at the end of the month, there still aren't many entrants. So I put the details on the MSN groups page for anyone who's interested to enter. The odds of one of us winning would be quite good!
Good luck all. Oh you might have to wait until a weekday though as they've still got the October comp on their website. Don't post the link on here as I'd like to keep the odds for us good.

Oh that sucks MOS, it was all such a good plan too! yeah i saw my friend wrote he on the picture not sure why but she does have a 4 week old so it could just be baby brain! I love my new picks on FB she was very smiley thanks for saying she looks a bit like me hardly anyone sees it i'm hoping she changes soon but it's looking like blonde hair blue eyes just like dad nothing like my brown hair green eyes!
Kotakai- My mum was born in Copenhagen too i suppose seeing as thats the capital its not that odd for them to both be from there! Who knows maybe we are related! Does this mean your kids have a mormor and morfar too? my mum insists on being called that but i like it because i had them too, does any of that make sense?
BB- Well done casey on sleeping through! Ahh dreaming of more than 4 hours sleep
C&L's mummy- I hope Chais is better today, let us know how it went.
Spent the morning at my parents place because thay have just gotten back from Townsville, visiting y sister who's in the army there, Q loves my mum but screams at my dad i feel so bad for him.
MybabyQ, She has some of your features. Just like Sam with my DH. DH is dark with dark features but Sam still looks like him somehow... similar features I suppose.
Well our plan has just back-fired! DH came and knocked on our window and we decided he'd bite the bullet and come home and have that shower and just say he's too tired from work. So he's in the shower now... and now his opinionated cousin has turned up and parked in the driveway... behind the uncle... who's car is also behind our car. So we're TWO CARS away from getting out of here! :crying:
Plus they're all going to give him a hard time about not going to this mass. It's just a Sunday mass and at the end they mention it's been 40 days since the passing, etc, etc. But it's all in arabic - NOT ONE BIT IN ENGLISH! It goes for hours and is soooo painful. DH always tries to get out of them. This one may be a little difficult... we'll see.

Hi all!
Well had a moderately traumatic day here in the nappy department. DS was constipated! Poor little thing. He has never had to 'push' to get anything out before, and it must be all the food he has been eating lately, but he was screaaaming trying to poo. I cried, he cried, what a mess. I have been trying to get him to drink cool boiled water but he mustn't be getting enough. He spits most of it back out at me! I am going to keep trying though and maybe mix some in with his food to make sure he is getting enough.
Meanwhile, my almost 20 year old brother got some mince out of the freezer to cook today. He said "Amy, is there anything you can put in the frying pan with mince so that it doesn't all stick??"
"Um. Oil?" Like.. HELLO! I am so amused.
Hey..
Just popping in to say Hi.
Man, it was hot today! Went shopping. Got her a cute swim outfit from target..
A mini food processer too for $20. Its tiny and all I need.
*tumbleweed rolls by*

Don't ya wanna just curl up and hide in a little cacoon sometimes.
Argghhh kids.
Lachlan has been feral all afternoon and wouldn't eat his tea 2nite, so we sent him back and forth to his room and let him return to the kitchen table to eat, but he still wouldn't (determined little ratter). So nappy goes on and ni ni - no bath, no milk!! Mean aren't we.....
Riley is also unsettled and never cries in the bath and 2nite he was! Gosh when they slightly get put out of their routine, things turn to chaios.
Ontop of all this, since yesterday I have had a sore eye, all swollen, itchy and sore! This started yesterday and then last night my eyebrows are itchy, my head is itchy. It is driving me nuts.... Went to the chemist and got an anithistamine but can't use it until I am guaranteed he won't feed for atleast 4 hours.... arggghhh, he has been waking every 3 hours thru the night and I am sooo tired. I keep touching my eye and I know I shouldn't, but it hurts so god dam much. I am even starting to get a sore throat, runny nose and my head is banging with a sore neck also.
I am meant to be travelling to mackay tomorrow (3 hours away) with the 2 boyz by myself and i am just not sure if I can do it. I slept for a couple of hours this arvo while Wade looked after the boyz. I am just so tired and I really feel like I am getting sick. Lachlan has to see the ENT specialist and Riley has to see the PAED, so I don't have a choice! Argggh god give me strength.
Sorry for the whinge girls, but this is really my sign off post. HOpefully I am right for tomorrow and if I am I won't be back online for a week.
Sick of my head itching, I wondered if I had nits it that god dam itchy (but I don't) - brings back memories from after my caesar and I just couldn't stop itching from the drugs. Wonder if I can take pherngan??? Ohhh the joys of breastfeeding.
Well Lachlan is quiet, probably have a bad night with him too now, but hopefully Wade can attend to him, but he still wakes me up. Last night he woke all god dam night long.
He rarely eats his dinner, so we made a stand 2nite. He needs to know who is the boss.
Wade just checked on Lachlan and he is asleep already and he has only been in there for 10mins. This is so unlike him as he rolls around in bed for seriously an hour or two most nights b4 he drifts off.
Hope he is not sick, gosh what a bad mum if he is!!!
Ok cheerio, have a good week everyone.

Shereejoy- Sorry you had such a tough day, i hope tonight isn't as bad as you predict. Good luck with the doctors tomorrow and talk to you next week
MOS Im just being nosey...are they Coptic Christians or Lebanese Catholics (notice the Caps, lol! )??
Although I dont practice anything now, I still remembered its All Saints Day, Holy Day of Obligation (meant to go to Mass), see the Catholic Education was drummed into me!
They are Maronite Catholics. Just like normal catholics only they consider their religion closer to the pope.
Shereejoy, :hugs::hugs::hugs:. I hope we don't hear from you if that means all is well, you got some sleep and made it to your parents.
We went out for Chinese tonight. Sam sat in his pram and smiled while we ate our dinner. An old lady came and had a look at him and said he was such a good baby and we should be very proud. I was. :D That was very sweet of her. We also bumped into some people we hadn't seen in years so they got to meet Sam too which was nice.
We're off to a christening tomorrow. 150 people would you believe?! :eek: Sam's wearing a new outfit. It's a pair of denim shorts with a white shirt which has slight check stripes. Will get some pics.

Hi,
Chaise still has a slight temp but not too bad now. Haven't checked it but can feel it's still up. She seems bright enough though so i'm not worried. Just very sad to see her glassy eyes and she is fairly pale now. :fingerscrossed: she sleeps well and feels better in the morning and :fingerscrossed: lara doesn't get it now.
Looks like Summer had fun with her dad. I can't believe how many dads there were in your group. In our swimming it was all mums.
MOS i showed dh the pics of sam he said we shouldn't have egged you on the poor little boy shouldn't be put in that suit ever again. :laughing:
Well i thought i'd just catch up on the chatter otherwise id get so behind but now i'm off tto bed. Hopefully for a good sleep.
Night all
MOS i showed dh the pics of sam he said we shouldn't have egged you on the poor little boy shouldn't be put in that suit ever again. :laughing:
:laughing: I just read that out to my DH and he agreed with him. But he said at least I now have a pic of it "for when I sell it on Ebay"! :yes:
Oh at dinner tonight, he said he wants another one. He asked me to seriously consider it. I'm not sure. I'd love another one close together... but don't want to go through having a baby here again. I just don't know. His idea is that it might be good to have some help when I have a toddler and a newborn baby. Yes... but help is one thing and constant mothering is another. She mothers ME AND SAM. BOTH of these offend me.
Do you guys think I will appreciate the help being a second time mum? I mean, will I be able to let go a little more with the second one or will she drive me nuts? Will she get better? I think she will if I continue to put her in her place... but can't tell for sure.
I am just so confused. DH said it might be good to have another one now while we're living here so that I can take time off to be with both of them and then go back to work later on when we move into our own place. That way I'm not going back to work, then falling pregnant again. I just don't know... :hair:
Part of me agrees with him. I'm confused.
Before we fell PG with Sam, I'd wanted to start trying for YEARS but we decided to travel first... then I had an abnormal pap smear which delayed things again as I had to have surgery... then we moved interstate so couldn't really fall PG straight away... When we finally decided to start trying it was only because DH said to me one day to just go off the pill and see if it happens. I freaked out wondering if I was really ready then, after all of that wanting for years... then I was scared. He just left it up to me. He told me to decide whether to take my pill that night or not. He's done that again.
I didn't. Hello Sam!
So... Am I feeling the same now? Kind of excited about the thought of it but scared at the same time? Or just SCARED?
So many people tell me I should have Sam toilet trained first to make things easier. I don't know... I just keep thinking the same thing:
I DON'T KNOW.
In the end, he said he won't be sad if I don't want to but if I said to him that I really wanted it, he'd be happy and excited. He thinks it's "ideal".
Hhhheeeeeellllpppp! :confused:
HI All. Am exhausted..so not many personals
Mr G woke as usual at 1am for a feed..but would not go back to sleep until 3am...grr then work again at 6. Luckily did then go back to sleep until 0930
My Mum rings me at 10am to tell me shes arranged a surprise BBQ here for my birthday (which was thurs).Which was nice..except sepnt all day cleaning between feeds and putting him down for cat naps. People arrived from 5 onwards. MrG was fine being handed around until about 630 when he got tired, just wanted me. Mum got him to sleep at7..but he woke at 745 beside himself. Totallyover tired and over stimulated....I had to stay inhis dark room, and put on music to drown out the talking noises..and rock and rock and bounc et until 9pm he finally settled...But some people who took the hint and left woke him saying goodbye to my parents at the door....so then it took until 10 to get him asleep....poor little man. I dont know what it is..he just gets so overstimulated and wont relax into sleep. He actually had a fair amount of sleep for him today too...:(
My mum stayed and washed up while I got him alseep. I had just got into bed with a cuppa and the laptop to wind down..and she arrived back on the doorstep...covered in hives!! Wanted to know if she could take antihistimines with her heart tabs. I have no idea. So Dads taken her to emergancy poor thing
Morning all :wave:
k8y -I love the swimming photos! She looked so cute & daddy looked like he had a great time!
C&L'smum -I hope Chaise starts feeling better today. I hate it when they're so pale & lethargic (sp?) & you can't help them. :fingerscrossed: she doesn't 'share' it with Lara.
Sherrejoy -Hope your time away goes well & you get some much needed sleep.
Lambkin -Hope Elliot feels better today. There's nothing worse than that! Dakotah used to get it so bad. I use to have her sucking on prunes to help. When Chais seemed like he was having trouble, his paed said to try a bit of watered down pear juice. He hated that too though. It took 3 days of pain & screaming, but he finally got it out himself. I would lay him on his back, massage his belly & push his legs back (like a pumping sort of action or like riding a bike) to try and help.
Do you guys think I will appreciate the help being a second time mum? I mean, will I be able to let go a little more with the second one or will she drive me nuts? Will she get better? I think she will if I continue to put her in her place... but can't tell for sure.
Hhhheeeeeellllpppp! :confused:
Well, I'm prob the wrong person to answer :laughing:, but I say go for it!!!!! As much as she'll prob still bug you second time around, having an extra set of hands is wonderful. I think you've taken to motherhood wonderfully, especially considering your living arrangements & 'problems' there, I think you'll be fine. Also, just cause it happened easy last time, it may take longer this time (or it may not :D)
HI All. Am exhausted..so not many personals
That was nice that you got a party, but poor Mr G! Chais is the same & doesn't want to miss out on any of the action. Hope you have a nice relaxing day today. Your poor mum! Hope she feels better.
I know I've missed others that I wanted to answer, so sorry. I need to get Chais ready for his swimming lesson, so I'll be back later & try & remember what else I wanted to say.
Have a great day everyone.
C38 :hugs::hugs:what a painful evening! I hope you recover well...
Woke up with stiff neck. Can't turn in 1 direction. :( I know it's from sleeping on one side with boobie out this morning. Kind of tensed into position to feed, then fell asleep so stayed like that. Gggrrrr...
Thanks Kotakai. Am still confused but maybe leaning more towards excited. I think the MIL might see by then that I DO know what I'm doing! And you're right, it might not happen straight away but I just don't want to go into it expecting it will take a while because it's scary when it doesn't and you kind of need it to!
And here's the important bit: still no AF here yet. So it WILL take a while. I've had what have felt like O pains for the last month but nothing yet..... and am still BF like a prize cow! Mmmooooooooooo!
Better go get my brekkie - not much sugar in it Lambkin! Today I begin my fat club journey. I'm going to have skim but will go the full cream on my cereal. I think that's a good enough sacrifice - and no more drinking it by the litre!
mos im so with im yes/no/yes/no i just cant decide.
on your questions though i think it will be both she will definately drive u nuts but then when are lying on the floor puking your guts up u will just be grateful that someone changes sams bum frills in or out wont matter a bit:p
it would be a great help to be honest and i absolutely mean NO offence here what so ever but sometimes i read your posts and just think wow can i swap. i know shes driving u nuts and i def would be the same i prob woulda cracked a tanty and left by now as im not very patient but i am just consumed with washing cooking cleaning kids. thats all there is anymore. sometimes i read your posts about going out for dinner or down the pub etc and think wow where did my life go? it would be nice to have a balance i think of having a bit of help SOME of the time. i say go for it i feel i spaced mine out too far.
p.s my offer to swap was joke, i actually retract my offer as i do not want pink pot pouri pillows in my sons cot either:laughing:.
:hugs: c38 sounds like an exhausting day.
MOS how exciting - follow your heart.

Hi Ladies,
I entered a competition on a website a few weeks back and at the end of the month, there still aren't many entrants. So I put the details on the MSN groups page for anyone who's interested to enter. The odds of one of us winning would be quite good!
Good luck all. Oh you might have to wait until a weekday though as they've still got the October comp on their website. Don't post the link on here as I'd like to keep the odds for us good.
I wanted to ask you about what you actually do when you are a mystery shopper,I was in coles & heard someone behind the counter saying they had a mystery shopper coming in....I thought of you :D

Its so hard hun.....:hugs:you will know when the times right,it would be great having the extra help, but I understand what you are saying there is help then there is taking over...how would his Mum & Dad feel about it if you had another one while living there? I hoped Jake would be toliet trained too but he has gone backwards as they do when a new baby arrives.

Went over my points :shame:that wasnt hard as I stuffed my face with a greasy potato cake @ 2am....& I lost count with all the champs I had....
Justin brought some greasy's on the way home....I stole it! :laughing:
OMG it was sooooooooooooo tasty.....hahahaha
But I had my stepmum looking after the boys :goodvibes:
just hanging out washing thinking back over my post to mos and thought maybe i sounded rude. didnt mean it that way sorry. it is overwhelming with a few kiddies and i think it would be great to have help on hand, at the same time i see how frustrating it must be having someone constantly trying to correct u.
was also thinking it would be really nice for your kids to have that special bond with the grandparents by living with them. and if u have another early fast labour u will have them on hand to watch sam ..... or accompany u to labour ward hehe:laughing:

Goodluck with that decision. I always talked about having mine really close but could not decide when to start trying. Chaise's 1st b,day i decided yep now is good. Was pregnant that same week, i was hoping for a few months of trying. I am happy with 18month gap tho. Chaise in kinda independent enough and wasn't at that terrible two stage when Lara was born. We had no jealousy problems and now they play together.
Those who are talking about #3 + what do your hubbys think? Mine does NOT want anymore and i really want 1 more.
Another terrible nights sleep here. You really cant fit 4 in a queen bed comfortably. Lara and i left and jumped into Chaises bed. Chaise is heaps better today. Still grumpy and still looks sick but shes on the mend.
hope everyones having a nice lazy sunday.

Sorry quick fleeting visit from me.
I got to sleep at 6am this morning and slept till 9am.
Wade had organised the morning off work anyway so that he could pack us up. I was meant to be leaving for mackay today (3 hours away) for the boys specialist appts but I have had a severe reaction/allergy to something and my eye has been festering for the past couple of days now, but last night it was really bad. So red and swollen, and stinging. I have been itchy all down the right side of my face. Right scalp, eyebrow, eye. Just couldn't stop itchy. So had a horrible night and took an antihistamine at 8pm after Riley's feed, and the chemist told me to not feed him for atleast 4 hours. But he woke at 11am, so Waded patted him back to sleep and then he woke at 11.30pm but must have self settled as we didn't hear him until 5.30am this morning. At this point my nose had been running all night like a tap and my throat was sore, my gaw was sore and I felt like my head was going to explode. Lachlan didn't even wake last night, so there was my chance to catch up on some sleep (cause Riley has been waking 3 hourly at night for feeds lately) and I didn't get it as I was in so much pain. Lachlan was ferral last night and wouldn't eat dinner, so we sent him to bed crying his little heart out, with no dinner, no bath. I was hoping he was not getting sick too, but appears fine this morning, thank god. I just couldn't possibly do the drive now with this eye. We travelled 40min this morning to an after hours doctor who has now given me antibiotics and a eye cream and also I have to take a anithistamine once a day. Hopefully I will be on the mend soon. I was so annoyed, cause Riley hasn't fed since 8pm last night and I had the opportunity to feed him before he properly woke up this morning at 5.30am, only I was exhausted and asked Wade to bring him to me and I attempted to feed whilst laying down. Well this woke up the little sod and he wouldn't feed. I knew I should have gone into his room and rocked him in the chair to feed. ARggghh... I was so tired to think. So it is now 12.30pm and he stil hasn't fed, I sooo struggle with him with feeds thru the day, no wonder he feeds so much thru the night and no wonder I am not well, just soooo run down! Anyway hope to do my trip to Mackay tomorrow, only have to cancel my lactation appt for tomorrow and try to make it for the following Monday now. So glad it is Sunday, so Wade is here to look after the boys. Anyway if you don't hear from me after this post I will talk to you all in a week. Oh and when the doctor looked down my throat, she could see a foreign matter that shouldn't be there. So now I have to see an ENT specialist too. The one Lachlan is seeing is a child ENT, but she has done me a referral and she said surely he will just have a quick look down your throat. Hoping it is nothing sinister.
chaise and laras mummy my husband really only wanted the 2:o. i pushed him for a few yrs for another, at times i tried to come to terms with only having 2 but i couldnt shake it. the 18 months before i fell pregnant with dylan i was miserable and depressed to be honest i wanted another baby sooo badly i think eventually my dh saw i was not getting over this and it was causing problems between us so he agreed we would then we decided to wait about 9 more months for reasons i had work commitments and i wanted to be sure he was happy about it and could be excited about another bubs i wanted him to want a baby too not just go along with it. and we fell straight away so here we are. talking about #4 he is happy to go 1 more or finish up but he has put his foot down that 4 will be it. im still deciding if ill go #4 and when

SMO3- thats what im worried about, having problems because he doesn't want anymore. I am affraid my dh is the type of person to leave before giving in to another. Guess we will have to wait and see what happens. I'm not ready for another just yet i am only young so am thinking waiting 3-5 years.
It all came up coz Lara is now growing out of her newborn clothes and he asked me if i was going to sell them.
I'm looking at rentals in geelong (if we move down next year) there are so many dumpy places.. quess thats what happens in an older city. I'm worried we wont be able to afford a nice house. :no: I'm living in a gorgeous huge house atm i don't wanna down grade.. :laughing: how spoilt princessy did that sound.
I sent Honeymoonbub a text yesterday but havent heard from her, and there are no posts either. Hoping she is ok.
YEs I have 2 now and I think about having another one ALL the time. I just always imagined i'd have 3 kids. I bought it up with DP today, he said maybe but we;ve decided not to discuss it properly for a while yet. I reckon i;ll bring it up when DD2 is 1, about the same age DD1 was when we had 'the conversation'. I just cant shake the feeling that I want one more, even tho I hate being pg. But will need to move or extend the house lol.
Good sleep vibes to all the mums whose kids arent playing the sleeping thru game! fingers crossed here, dd2 still sleeping thru but I know anything ccan happen. DD1 stopped sleeping thru about 4.5 months and needed feeding to get to sleep up until about 8 months when I finally tried CC! Felt guilty but it worked.
IF I had a husband... or partner :rain:..
Id definately want more. Of course, being 21 I have plenty of time. But in ideal situation Id maybe have a gap of maybe 3 years between them. 2 earliest
But I dont think its overly important to have small gaps for their sake.
My brother an I are 4 years apart. And we were the best of friends growing up we were always close. And yeah, 4 years gap and being male-female.
Speaking of the other halves, my ex is back in contact. :( :( :(
He hasnt seen charlotte in 10 weeks. Doesnt overly push for it, just has a big mouth about it that he doesnt see her.
I dont know what to think. what to do.
Talking to him or hearing from him just makes me sick to the put of my stomach. Literally. And I feel like ill.
I dont know.. I wish I knew if he would like.. persue this. He claims if I dont let him see her he will go through the courts. I definately dont want that. hmm. But would he?
I want to know how much it will cost him, if anything to go through the process.
I want to cut him out but at the same time dont want him to go to court so I string him saying I dont have a problem with him seeing her..
He doesnt make definate plans to do it though but ive said just make the plans..
Ive made it clear he will never see me again ever. That id get a close friend or someone to take charlotte.
All this despite I have a DVO on him.
Argh I just dont know how to tackle the situation. :(
Sorry I needed a vent ;)

Goodluck with that decision. I always talked about having mine really close but could not decide when to start trying. Chaise's 1st b,day i decided yep now is good. Was pregnant that same week, i was hoping for a few months of trying. I am happy with 18month gap tho. Chaise in kinda independent enough and wasn't at that terrible two stage when Lara was born. We had no jealousy problems and now they play together.
Those who are talking about #3 + what do your hubbys think? Mine does NOT want anymore and i really want 1 more.
Another terrible nights sleep here. You really cant fit 4 in a queen bed comfortably. Lara and i left and jumped into Chaises bed. Chaise is heaps better today. Still grumpy and still looks sick but shes on the mend.
hope everyones having a nice lazy sunday.
I think we are happy with the two boys,but I do have those clucky moments when I want another one...I would love a girl but you get what you are given,of course 3boys would be wonderful & full on....Im 90% sure we wont have anymore,think DH is very happy with just the two aswell,I always wanted 2 kiddies by the time I was 30 & Im 30 next Aug.
I might change my mind.....never say never;)

Sorry I needed a vent
Sorry I don't have any advice hun,but It must be so hard for you :hugs:
MOS I am about as confused as you. We haven't talked about when would be a good time to start trying for the next one. We did mention at one point that when we get home from the US next year (going for 3 weeks in June) that Nick will be 1, so if it took a few months to get PG there'd be about 2 years in between. There is 4 years between me and my sister I don't talk to, and 6 between me and the other, and we are close. But its def. a big sis/little sis relationship, not like a "friend"ship, if that makes sense?
But if we are moving to Sydney, we have no one down there. Here I have a lot of help. We'd have no one to watch Nick while I was in hospital (of course mum could fly down but its not as easy as us being here). I just think it would be so hard. At the same time, MOS I'm not sure I'd want to be as close as living in the same house!
Of course, to get PG I have to have sex again and who knows when or if that will ever happen. Anyone know of a natural libido booster?? Wine used to work, but now it just puts me to sleep! Thought maybe ginseng (?) or something like that might help.
DH will be happy with 2. He is the second oldest of 5. I wanted 5 until I met his family...NUTTERS. God love 'em. I also used to think I wanted to have a girl, but since having Nicklas, if I had 2 boys I would be so happy. I'd be happy with a girl, too, but if I didn't have one I wouldn't feel like I was missing out.
Weather held out for us today for the naming ceremony and it was a pretty nice day. Both sides of the fam behaved themselves and I think everyone had a good time. Not too happy looking at the pics, I feel like a whale. But can't complain, as I don't do much to fix it.
NOT looking forward to my dentist appt Tuesday! And speaking of teeth, I think Nick is getting them. He is so irritable lately. He used to be so happy all day until arsnic hour, but now he's cranky a lot more.
Guess that's it for now. Can't believe how quickly weekends go :(
:hugs:stg, what an awful situation. Maybe just for now keep on doing what you're doing and hope he gives up on his own. Then you won't be harboring any guilt over her not having any contact with her daddy and it will save you the stress of a court battle if that would actually happen.
SMO3, don't worry I'm not offended at all. I have a friend who says the exact same thing. She says she'd KILL for a little help. The grass is always greener on the other side. I have always been very independant though (not saying you're not), but I've always struggled having people do things for me. It's just not me. I feel like a child! But my friend had NO help whatsoever. Her mum used to visit and not even make her own cup of tea and that used to infuriate her to no end. She was the complete opposite.
So yes I can see the benefits. Even though she bugs me, I am hoping she gets the hint and stays back a bit. This morning I wanted to have another one ASAP but then Sam started grumbling and the MIL beat me to the bedroom door and then stood there waving at him. It just bugged me as I had the intention of settling him again... which didn't happen after he saw her. Little things, I know... :rolleyes:
We won't do anything until we're both 100% sure.
C&L'smummy & Shereejoy - Sorry you both had a cr@ppy night's sleep. Hope it picks up for you tonight.
Sam's grumbling so better go. Chat later
Hey guys
Just popping in.
Charlotte just had a huge leisurely 45 min boobie feed, then 15 min or so after, two big teaspoons of farex with enough water for puree texture, with an added big spoon of apple puree.
Then she was STILL wanting more, so had a big spoon of apple puree to follow up with for dessert.. and I reckon she still coulda went more!
Think I should up the teaspoons of farex, or start giving her solids 2 times a day?
stg your situation must be so hard with the ex :( Charli sounds like she is doing well though. I am no expert on the solids thing yet so can't help you there.
dondons, thanks for trying. I just checked honeymoonbubs facebook and there has been no activity since August. I hope everything is okay, am a bit worried now :confused:
BB I can see you with another bub ;) so glad you had a lovely night.
babywez glad your naming ceremony went well! and yuk to dentists.
I have my mole being removed tomorrow. Speaking of which, we haven't heard from ems84 in a while either. LOL not meaning she is a mole :laughing: but didn't she have one removed? or was that someone else :confused:
Oh and the stupid dressmaker says she can't put the sleeves that I want on the dress I've picked out so I told them to get stuffed, seriously it's not rocket science. Am back at square one there and am going shopping with my neighbour on Tuesday as she said she's seen a nice shop somewhere that she'll take me too. I just didn't want anything too old fashioned looking thats all, that still looked christening gownish.
Oh DP has cooked and it's ready now, best go.
:laughing: ems was travelling across Australia the last I remember. I'd say she's probabaly just not got net access sorted yet. I wouldn't worry...
Bugger about the dress k8y.
WOW Charli! Well done. Can't help much but will consult my book and see if there are any answers. I'm curious too.
I steamed more veggies tonight. I'm really loving my new toy. There isn't too much stuff to clean, etc so it's very handy. I love it! :yelclap:
Right now I want another baby. I am having so much fun with Sam that I want another... that'll change again soon no doubt.
Hey, those on FB should check out InGi's wooden letters. I'm getting her to do some for Sam and can't wait to stick them up on the wall above his cot. I've been looking at wooden letters for a while but when they're already done, there's always a few ugly ones I don't like and they're always the "S", "A", "M", "U" "E" or the "L"! :rolleyes: This way I get to pick the colours too!
Oh and I like to think I'm supporting a SAHM and my SMS buddy! ;)

Natural libido boooster.. I was going to say wine but obviously that's no good! I think it's just your body's way of telling you to recover from the birth and look after the bub you have now. Well, I assume so anyway. You could try Horny Goat Weed though!!
I'm glad the weather held out for you today and I hope you had a lovely time. I'm glad they behaved themselves as well. As they should!!
I'm a bit of a freak and I kind of like the dentist. Having said that, I've only ever had a few fillings and a teeth pulled. I'm sure I'd think differently if I'd had root canal or something!! Good luck :hugs:

I feed Elliot until he stops opening his mouth fr the spoon or starts grumbling. The worst thing that can happen if you overfeed her is that she'll chuck a bit I guess! But I think they're pretty good at telling you when they're over it. El has a little bit 3 times a day now, so go for a second time I reckon! She's had a bit every day for a while now, yeah??

Hmm I've been meaning to go to the skin cancer clinic and get some moles checked. Does anyone know if they are bulk billed? They don't charge per mole or anything do they?? ;)
And MOS I know how you are feeling at the moment. It's hard to know when to have more and when is the best time. It's great that you have the support of your in-laws, but they sh!t you to tears so .. would you be able to handle that if you had even more on your plate to deal with? Do you know what I mean? How would your bullsh!t tolerance level be?
But you know, you'd probably never otherwise have such a tremendous amount of support either. No wonder you are confused, you poor thing!
stg, big hugs for you! I'm sorry it's so hard with your ex. I can't even imagine what it would be like in that situation.
An OK day for us today. I had some friends over which was nice, but you know.. all of my friends are childless and absolutely terrified of Elliot. They don't even hold him or anything, they just kind of carry on like he's not even there. It's good to see them, but I guess it just makes me realise how much having a baby has changed me. Plus, I forgot to take my anti-depressants for a few days so I was totally off with the fairies and massively 'floaty' in the head region so that didn't help matters! Had a big lay down after I remembered and woke up feeling much better.
Meanwhile, my Mum was out doing groceries and Dad was down the back and the puppies get all lonely when they're not here so they suck up to me. They jumped up on the bed where Elliot and I were and the next thing I know, Bella is cuddling up to a sleeping Elliot. So cute. I snapped a quick pic. Mum's dogs annoy me at times but they just loooove Elliot. They are always trying to lick him and cuddle him and stuff, and get really defensive of him when strangers are around.
here is the piccie.

I have my pre-admissions clinic at the hospital tomorrow for my gallbladder operation (which is less than 3 weeks away now!) I am so scared of having this operation. It's really unlike me, actually. I'm usually fairly level-headed when it comes to this sort of stuff. I know that everything will be fine and that it is a very routine operation, but I am still freaking out. I think I am scared of being away from Elliot overnight. And scared of people seeing me naked on the operating table! And saying silly things when the anaesthetic is wearing off. Hm. I am such a baby
I have almost 3 litres of EBM in the freezer so far, so at least that is something. It's so weird though. I express every morning at about the same time, and some days I get about 50mls and other days I get over 200 from one breast! How bizarre.
I just read that out to my DH and he agreed with him. But he said at least I now have a pic of it "for when I sell it on Ebay"!
Oh at dinner tonight, he said he wants another one. He asked me to seriously consider it. I'm not sure. I'd love another one close together... but don't want to go through having a baby here again. I just don't know. His idea is that it might be good to have some help when I have a toddler and a newborn baby. Yes... but help is one thing and constant mothering is another. She mothers ME AND SAM. BOTH of these offend me.
Do you guys think I will appreciate the help being a second time mum? I mean, will I be able to let go a little more with the second one or will she drive me nuts? Will she get better? I think she will if I continue to put her in her place... but can't tell for sure.
I am just so confused. DH said it might be good to have another one now while we're living here so that I can take time off to be with both of them and then go back to work later on when we move into our own place. That way I'm not going back to work, then falling pregnant again. I just don't know...
Part of me agrees with him. I'm confused.
Before we fell PG with Sam, I'd wanted to start trying for YEARS but we decided to travel first... then I had an abnormal pap smear which delayed things again as I had to have surgery... then we moved interstate so couldn't really fall PG straight away... When we finally decided to start trying it was only because DH said to me one day to just go off the pill and see if it happens. I freaked out wondering if I was really ready then, after all of that wanting for years... then I was scared. He just left it up to me. He told me to decide whether to take my pill that night or not. He's done that again.
I didn't. Hello Sam!
So... Am I feeling the same now? Kind of excited about the thought of it but scared at the same time? Or just SCARED?
So many people tell me I should have Sam toilet trained first to make things easier. I don't know... I just keep thinking the same thing:
I DON'T KNOW.
In the end, he said he won't be sad if I don't want to but if I said to him that I really wanted it, he'd be happy and excited. He thinks it's "ideal".
Hhhheeeeeellllpppp!
GL making that decision, I must admit part of me wants another one earlier than I thought, but I think it is just because I have seen a few newborns recently and they are soo small now even though our bubs aren't that old.
Sorry quick fleeting visit from me.
I got to sleep at 6am this morning and slept till 9am.
Wade had organised the morning off work anyway so that he could pack us up. I was meant to be leaving for mackay today (3 hours away) for the boys specialist appts but I have had a severe reaction/allergy to something and my eye has been festering for the past couple of days now, but last night it was really bad. So red and swollen, and stinging. I have been itchy all down the right side of my face. Right scalp, eyebrow, eye. Just couldn't stop itchy. So had a horrible night and took an antihistamine at 8pm after Riley's feed, and the chemist told me to not feed him for atleast 4 hours. But he woke at 11am, so Waded patted him back to sleep and then he woke at 11.30pm but must have self settled as we didn't hear him until 5.30am this morning. At this point my nose had been running all night like a tap and my throat was sore, my gaw was sore and I felt like my head was going to explode. Lachlan didn't even wake last night, so there was my chance to catch up on some sleep (cause Riley has been waking 3 hourly at night for feeds lately) and I didn't get it as I was in so much pain. Lachlan was ferral last night and wouldn't eat dinner, so we sent him to bed crying his little heart out, with no dinner, no bath. I was hoping he was not getting sick too, but appears fine this morning, thank god. I just couldn't possibly do the drive now with this eye. We travelled 40min this morning to an after hours doctor who has now given me antibiotics and a eye cream and also I have to take a anithistamine once a day. Hopefully I will be on the mend soon. I was so annoyed, cause Riley hasn't fed since 8pm last night and I had the opportunity to feed him before he properly woke up this morning at 5.30am, only I was exhausted and asked Wade to bring him to me and I attempted to feed whilst laying down. Well this woke up the little sod and he wouldn't feed. I knew I should have gone into his room and rocked him in the chair to feed. ARggghh... I was so tired to think. So it is now 12.30pm and he stil hasn't fed, I sooo struggle with him with feeds thru the day, no wonder he feeds so much thru the night and no wonder I am not well, just soooo run down! Anyway hope to do my trip to Mackay tomorrow, only have to cancel my lactation appt for tomorrow and try to make it for the following Monday now. So glad it is Sunday, so Wade is here to look after the boys. Anyway if you don't hear from me after this post I will talk to you all in a week. Oh and when the doctor looked down my throat, she could see a foreign matter that shouldn't be there. So now I have to see an ENT specialist too. The one Lachlan is seeing is a child ENT, but she has done me a referral and she said surely he will just have a quick look down your throat. Hoping it is nothing sinister.
you poor thing :hugs: hope you getto Mackay
MOS I am about as confused as you. We haven't talked about when would be a good time to start trying for the next one. We did mention at one point that when we get home from the US next year (going for 3 weeks in June) that Nick will be 1, so if it took a few months to get PG there'd be about 2 years in between. There is 4 years between me and my sister I don't talk to, and 6 between me and the other, and we are close. But its def. a big sis/little sis relationship, not like a "friend"ship, if that makes sense?
But if we are moving to Sydney, we have no one down there. Here I have a lot of help. We'd have no one to watch Nick while I was in hospital (of course mum could fly down but its not as easy as us being here). I just think it would be so hard. At the same time, MOS I'm not sure I'd want to be as close as living in the same house!
Of course, to get PG I have to have sex again and who knows when or if that will ever happen. Anyone know of a natural libido booster?? Wine used to work, but now it just puts me to sleep! Thought maybe ginseng (?) or something like that might help.
DH will be happy with 2. He is the second oldest of 5. I wanted 5 until I met his family...NUTTERS. God love 'em. I also used to think I wanted to have a girl, but since having Nicklas, if I had 2 boys I would be so happy. I'd be happy with a girl, too, but if I didn't have one I wouldn't feel like I was missing out.
Weather held out for us today for the naming ceremony and it was a pretty nice day. Both sides of the fam behaved themselves and I think everyone had a good time. Not too happy looking at the pics, I feel like a whale. But can't complain, as I don't do much to fix it.
NOT looking forward to my dentist appt Tuesday! And speaking of teeth, I think Nick is getting them. He is so irritable lately. He used to be so happy all day until arsnic hour, but now he's cranky a lot more.
Guess that's it for now. Can't believe how quickly weekends go :(
glad the naming ceremony went well.
stg :hugs:sorry can't help you out, but you are doing very well in a bad situation.
we went to Bathurst to visit some friends for the weekend, spoilt ourselves with a bottle of Moet (my friend just got a promotion and it was on special) and to top it off, Pip has started rolling back to front and won't stop....though she too has forgotten how to roll from tummy to back so whinges after a while. I have not been able to catch it on video yet as she stops as soon as I get the camera out!:rolleyes:
well my eating healthy went out the window over the weekend, but will start again tomorrow, having a competition at the gym so more incentive!
good night all
Hey, those on FB should check out InGi's wooden letters. I'm getting her to do some for Sam and can't wait to stick them up on the wall above his cot.

Oh and I like to think I'm supporting a SAHM and my SMS buddy! ;)
LOL MOS isn't it bree thats doing the letters? :laughing:
:laughing: Yeah you're right! I get them confused becuse they both have 4 letter names!!! :D
Well they're nice all the same! ;)
:laughing: DUH!
Hello all how are we this morning.
After the big feed last night I told yas about, i bathed her, and she went to sleep at 7.30. I put her in her cot. I usually do this then she wakes up for her final feed about 8.30.
But at 9pm I went in there and she was FAST asleep. I contemplated for a while whether to dream feed or wake her.. but decided against it and resolved to have an early wake up or something.
So she slept in her COT for the first time ever last night (of a night not including day naps)
She usualyl is in with me in a tetra bed.
And she slept right through til 6am!
No waking whinging for a dummy or anything.
Im thinking it might be becuase I upped her solids before bed?
Might feed her right up like that from now on.
Its great cause she needs that early bed time
:fingerscrossed: its not just a one off fluke

Excellent! Makes you feel a little more human, doesn't it, when you get that m uch sleep! :fingerscrossed: not just a fluke! :)
stg dylan is just starting the 3rd meal of the day. so far he has breaky and dinner and now we r starting to do lunch. he likes dinner best LOVES his veggies. sometimes he will have a rusk or a big peice of rockmelon through the day to chew on too. he is loving food now
and for what its worth i think u are doing exactly the right thing with your ex. perfect keep it out of court as long as u can so u m antain the control. if it actually starts getting to the point of having an arranged time for a visit id suggest starting putting him off with stuff like well she can come but she has bad vomitting/diarreah(sp?) are u sure u can mange it? or she been waking every 30 mins all night and wont stop crying lately, anything really that will really put him off:devil:. personally i think the pooing/spewing/not sleeping/crying combo is enough to scare of most men. good luck:hugs:
Good suggestion SMO3. Funny about most men running the opposite direction when it coms to the runs! :laughing:
Well done stg! Maybe she started waking through the night out of hunger and just needed more food. It's all trial and error, hey? Well done for figuring her out. You seem like a well adjusted mummy! :thumbsup:
Day in today. The MIL has had a play with Sam this morning. He did poos on her lap and I'm about the change the nappy. He always saves them for when he's on her lap! :laughing: I've put our washing on. She even asked me if I want to do Sam's washing today. I told her I am but am doing ours first. I have 3 loads to do today and would you believe I'm looking forward to it?! And I'm really happy she's letting me do it. The only other thing I have to do today is go and change our address at the council for the rates on our unit. The bills have been going to Noosa since we left as they don't take change of addresses over the phone. So I told them they can continue to send my bills to the wrong address then! :D The neighbour however has been forwarding them... :rolleyes:
So best get back to the pooey nappy then another load of washing - YAY! Simple things...

What a good idea. It must be an awful feeling especially becuase he has not been there for any of the parenting so far. So is he actually capable?

Wow Stg thats a great sleep from Charli!! Sounds like the solids are going great for you guys! I can't help with your other situation either but t does sound like you are doing a great job and are being level headed about it all.
Babywez i am glad the weather held out for you, how did you run your naming ceremony? did you have a celebrant? i am so confused and don't even know where to start for Q's.
MOS i really want letters for above Quinn's cot too, do you know how much they are?
and as for having another baby good luck with your decision i think the help you have would be great you never know she may change and listen to you? As for us having another i am pretty sure i will have to beg, Q was an accident and DP is still at Uni so we want to be a little more settled plus we want to travel some more oh and then there is the fact that Dp didn't really want kids anyway!!
K8y sorry the dress maker can't help you hoep you find someone who can. When is your christening again? and at first i was like wow you are eatting really late but then i realised that you are in brisbane and you guys don't have daylight savings fro some reason?
Lambkin that photo is so cute!! and i love your faux pixie photo set really cute maybe i could book myself in for some!! Great work on getting so mouch expressed milk! Elliott will be fine fro one night but i am sure he will miss oyu as much as you will miss him
Well i played netball again last night and left Q withthe IL's while she was awake this time it was so awful i couldn't relax just stressing about her, didn't help that i came home and she was screaming but she was just really tired because she hadn't slept all afternoon. Oh and in the game DP and i clashed shins and i came out second best my leg went white instanly and then 2 minutes later blue it is so painful standing up. I am thinking of uploading a photo because its pretty impressive!
Just got some bathers i had ordered over the net and there are no bottoms!! i hope i didn't order wrong
I tried her with apple thismorning after her feed. She wasn't really interested so Ill keep it with the just at dinner time for now I think.
How much does Dylan eat supermum and when did you start him on 2x a day
As for the ex, hmm well. I think he just wants control. I dont know. Ive said, just let me know and ill organise it for him to see her if he ever hassles me. But he hasnt made solid plans and hasnt seen her in 10 weeks. He said on msn messenger last night, that he will let me know when he wants to see her.
Hmm I wonder how long he will wait to persue that... wonder if there is like.. a time limit that will tell me that, you know what, he isnt really serious about her. A week? Two? A month?
I think he jsut likes the drama of it and doesnt like it when im so.. accomodating.. it takes his drama away lol.

MEN!
I might be being really horrible here but doesn't it just show you how much he really doesn't care! Parents who don't see their children shouldn't be allowed to just come and go. IMO
I worked with this couple who have a daughter, we were fairly close friends anyway the hubby was always saying how his daughter was his world. They split up about a year and a half ago and now he hasn't seen his daughter since. Yeah real important to him. I don't care how hurt you are about the break up i know i could never be without my children.
i think if he was really serious he would have it organised by now but who knows like u said he prob just likes the drama
he eats prob 1-2 table spoons of farex/fruit/formula all mixed up in morn
then prob 4 tablespoons of veggies at night
prob only 1-2 at lunch as we only just starting lunch
im not really sure if i should just let him eat as much as he wants or not but i guess that what we are doing when he seems uniterested i stop, he will keep eating it though if i put it in his mouth but once he seems bored with it i stop
MOS i really want letters for above Quinn's cot too, do you know how much they are?
There are 2 sizes - I think 6cm and 9cm. $2.50 and $4. I hope she's OK with me posting that. They are very worth it I think. Send her a message on FB if you want.
And yes please add shin pic. :D
And good luck with the swimmers!
stg I think 10 weeks is a long time to not see your baby. Keep lots of notes and times just in case of a court situation. Like write down when you told him he could see her then when he actually does (if that happens). I'd put my money on him not bothering TBH.
Second load of washing on. I want another one now..... while I'm in a good mood! The MIL offered to help to which I said I was cool and she managed to leave it at that! I know this will sound wierd but I feel like a WIFE again. I've felt like lazy a teenager with no reponsibilities for a while and I don't like it one bit! :D

I totally agree with you. Its controvertial but I mean.. He wasnt there in pregnancy. He didnt go through anything. he has had no costs what so ever, he doesnt spend nights up with her, tending to her every need. IMO he shouldnt get any rights. BEing a sperm donor dont give someone rights you know. Its not fair he can be a part time dad and have a leisurely come and go thing happening.
He is not her father as far as Im concerned
stg I think 10 weeks is a long time to not see your baby. Keep lots of notes and times just in case of a court situation. Like write down when you told him he could see her then when he actually does (if that happens). I'd put my money on him not bothering TBH.

Yeah Im up and down about it, sometimes i worry, sometimes I dont. He threatens court but I doubt he would as he knows it will cost him alot and he'll be made to pay child support. He says that he wants to do it off the books to "do it the nice way" like he is doing me a favour but I think otherwise. I dont know. He gets all angry at me rings out of the blue going off at me for keeping his daughter from him. Im like.. are you a F**E$*( mental case, Ive never said you cant see her. Its stupid. He's stupid. Drama Queen
Yay MOS for your domestic stuff :) Im about to put a load on myself
My young cousins are over. 2 girls, aged 3 and 5. Charlis face just lit up when she saw then and started laughing and squeeling. The type she only does for kids, not adults. She loves them so much its funny how babies love kids

You sound very old!! but i agree i can't believe how little people are wearing and also it gets to 25 degrees in geelong and all of a sudden its mini skirts and itty bitty dresses everywhere! and yeah i am jealous too wish i was 2 sizes smaller then i might where that stuff too!
hi all.
how was your weekend?
we went and bought a new dinning suit and buffet yesterday, it's all made by the man that owns the shop, and he is making ours and staining it all the same and should have it in about 2 weeks time.
our old dinning suit is about 6 or 7 years old (was only a cheapie when we first moved in together) it has been moved at least 5 times and 3 out of the 6 chairs are stuffed!
Kobi seems to be getting a cold, poor little man's nose is running and eyes are all red, hope it clears up by wednesday for his needles.
stg - your ex sounds like my sister's ex, they are so not worth the effort, my sister's fiance told the ex "not only did you give me a beautiful fiance but you also gave me a beautiful daughter, it's your loss!"
i would also keep a diary and keep note of everything, as one of the others has said, i have a friend going through something similar, and she documents everything!
well the weather is yuck here today, i just did washing but not sure weather to hang it out or just chuck it in the dryer.
whats everyone doing tomorrow? is it a public holiday there? we have a public holiday here, so we might go on a picnic if the weather is nice.
lambkin - loved your photos on FB too, i'll have to upload mine soon.

Stg he really sounds awful but i agree with MOS about writing everything down because if he is all talk won't the courts see that? also just curios what are the visitation rights for a breastfed baby? if he did get to have her for a bit owuld you have to express or is it just between feeds?
Maybe this is the new fashion??? Bottomless bathers. Young girls are wearing next to nothing these days How old do i sound... Ok i'm just jealous my bods not what it used to be.
Didn't you see the newsflash on that one? You must be SUCH A DAG to wear bottoms. :laughing: Mine's not what it used to be either... but now I have porn star knockers! Look on the bright side, eh?!
stg, how did he find out about Charli in the first place? Not sure if you told us. If you did, sorry for me being so forgetful. I get so many people on here mixed up. SMO3 and BB, each time I reply to one of your posts, I have to check back and make sure I'm saying it to the right person. And also my Bree/InGi mix-up. The brain's just not what it used to be. :rolleyes:
And about skimpy outfits, etc I look at some girls and think all sorts of things about the length of their skirts, etc but I think what it really comes down to is that I used to be able to wear things like that and am now just a little bitter! :D Oh but I must say, there was a grandmother at a recent function I went to who had something on that not even I would have worn when I was a size 6... and she is not near a size 6... :no: She is about 50 years old and put in the right clothes, would look like a HOT grandma... yet she has more hanging out than in IYKWIM? She ha big saggy (.)(.)'s and the dress had no support... sometimes I want to take people and dress them a little more! :hair:
When I was PG, DH said I was too conservative, so I am trying to let a little more hang out these days... I struggle though!
Geez I ramble. Must go and chose my horses for tomorrow. DH is stopping on the way home to put our bets on. Will pick one for Sam too. ;)

Candiee the weather here is awful too so my house is now a clothes line with stuff hanging all over the place i hate it! What colour did you get your stuff stained? i bought a coffee table at auction and stupidly tried to buy the rest of our furniture based on that colour but its impossible!
gee i wish 2 sizes would get me back to my pre babies body:hissy::gloomy:

Im so glad u have porn star boobs, i certainly don't! only when i dont feed for 10 hours. Ok yes a little bitter.
OMG granny... i dont even wear singet tops anymore. i think i have tuck shop lady arms :laughing:
Another me sounding old story. When we caught up with MBQ and her dp. dh and i were at the beach with the kids waiting for them and this young couple were in the water just kissing and touching and i was saying to dh they should get a room. i remember in the early days dh and i doing the same on the same beach.
yep i didnt get porn star knockers either this time. did have massive ones with dd then they shrunk up:eek:. then with ds1 got a little bit then they shrunk up even more:crying:. then with ds2 i hardly got anything more and im scared too see if ill have any (.)(.)s left when im done feeding him:hissy:

Get off my back now,the lot of you!
Okay you have finally made me join FB. Now what do I do?
Who wants to be my friend....
that is a great excuse to get another outfit!!! I didn't buy one as mum is keen on buying one for her!!!
MOS hope you are having fun with dress ups and glad you had fun today... Kirrily's mum I come down fairly regularly so can probably do a wed/thurs when I next come down.
Okay I'm in next time you are down. I'm feeling so left out.
Well girls I had a bit of a meltdown this morning
It all gets a bit much with DS1 sometimes...I rang up someone to see if I could do a positive parenting course but the lady told me they only run the classes when they have enough numbers ............however there is a parent line you can phone whenever you have concerns etc,the lady on the other end of the line was really nice we spoke for about 1/2 hour.
We spoke about how to see things through the eyes of a toddler having a new baby in the house etc,I just lost it with him this morning(even swore at him I never do that)...I feel like such a bad mother..........the guilts I have are really bad.....but I feel better after talking with her & my aim is to be more consistant,time outs..no smacks etc..& I guess for me I need to be more patient with him,but some days its so hard when hes been so naughty...I could just scream :crying: sometimes I do! I need to try & stay calm & take deep breaths......the joys of toddler years.......I just love him so much I want the very best for him in life,I want him to feel loved & needed.....as he so much is...as Casey gets older it will become easier as they will play together....
Thanks for listening.....sorry to vent:devil6:
Hun I get like that too. It's not easy. Somebody recommended the book 1-2-3 Magic. It helps deal with toddlers.
Def DON"T crush them. Chais is on half a tablet in the morning & half at night of the 20mg one. At first he was half & half of the 10mg one & the 3/4 of the 10mg one, so you need to know what dose your dr wants him on. I cut my tablets with a razor blade, as you need something very sharp, as it has to be completely even. I then put the half tablet in a plastic syringe (pull the plunger bit out, stick it in & then put the plunger back in) suck up a bit of water & shake, shake, shake. Seriously, you need to shake heaps to make sure it's mixed. I then slowly squirt it into his mouth. I usually need to suck up more water a couple of times to make sure I get all the bits. Also if you don't rinse the syringe straight away, you'll be able to tell after a while if you missed any, as you get these little purple/black type bits in there.
I can also do a Thursday some times.
This is what they told me to do. Put half the tablet (we are on 5mg 2 x a day) with some cooled boiled water in a plate and then let it dissolve and give it to him by spoon or syringe. It's been a week and I have not seen a difference. In fact he now das diahrea. Will have to call the pediatrician back tomorrow.
Riley is waking every 2.5 to 3 hours all night long (this is worse then when he was born - he was 4 hourly right from the start). I am sooo tired! I know he is doing this because he won't feed thru the day.... Argggh if only he would! The last two days I have had a 1.5 hour sleep, thank god Riley has allowed me to do this, otherwise I would be a mess. I was so spoilt in that 5 weeks he slept from 9-12 hours straight every night. Why can't he do that again!!!!!!
I know you have gone for a week but just wanted to give you some cyber hugs. Riley might be a candidate like Michael to start solids early. We started the other day and he is not a big fan of farex.
:laughing: I just read that out to my DH and he agreed with him. But he said at least I now have a pic of it "for when I sell it on Ebay"! :yes:
Oh at dinner tonight, he said he wants another one. He asked me to seriously consider it. I'm not sure. I'd love another one close together... but don't want to go through having a baby here again. I just don't know. His idea is that it might be good to have some help when I have a toddler and a newborn baby. Yes... but help is one thing and constant mothering is another. She mothers ME AND SAM. BOTH of these offend me.
Do you guys think I will appreciate the help being a second time mum? I mean, will I be able to let go a little more with the second one or will she drive me nuts? Will she get better? I think she will if I continue to put her in her place... but can't tell for sure.
I am just so confused. DH said it might be good to have another one now while we're living here so that I can take time off to be with both of them and then go back to work later on when we move into our own place. That way I'm not going back to work, then falling pregnant again. I just don't know... :hair:
Part of me agrees with him. I'm confused.
Before we fell PG with Sam, I'd wanted to start trying for YEARS but we decided to travel first... then I had an abnormal pap smear which delayed things again as I had to have surgery... then we moved interstate so couldn't really fall PG straight away... When we finally decided to start trying it was only because DH said to me one day to just go off the pill and see if it happens. I freaked out wondering if I was really ready then, after all of that wanting for years... then I was scared. He just left it up to me. He told me to decide whether to take my pill that night or not. He's done that again.
I didn't. Hello Sam!
So... Am I feeling the same now? Kind of excited about the thought of it but scared at the same time? Or just SCARED?
So many people tell me I should have Sam toilet trained first to make things easier. I don't know... I just keep thinking the same thing:
I DON'T KNOW.
In the end, he said he won't be sad if I don't want to but if I said to him that I really wanted it, he'd be happy and excited. He thinks it's "ideal".
Hhhheeeeeellllpppp! :confused:
I guess you will know when you feeling like creating a new life. We started trying when Kirilly was 8 months only because I thought it would take us a year to conceive. Well guess what 11 months later Michael was born and I was in a daze for the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy.
I have a lot of help from my mum. But some days I still find it really hard. Michael has reflux and then add a toddler to it. Bam. But in saying that you are a different person to me and can probably handle things better.
Having the MIL is a bonus but if she frustrates you now I'm not sure if it will get any better when you add a second child to the equation. There are postitves and negatives to both really.
But in saying that I love the age difference of 19 months. My brothers and I have 4 and 7 years difference and I was very lonely growing up
Hey guys
Just popping in.
Charlotte just had a huge leisurely 45 min boobie feed, then 15 min or so after, two big teaspoons of farex with enough water for puree texture, with an added big spoon of apple puree.
Then she was STILL wanting more, so had a big spoon of apple puree to follow up with for dessert.. and I reckon she still coulda went more!
Think I should up the teaspoons of farex, or start giving her solids 2 times a day?
The pediatrician said to me after the first week just add a 2nd feed in the day.
:laughing: We should open up a tuck shop then! I too have matching tuck shop arms! :yes:
Those pics are beautiful too. How pretty is Chaise? She has really beautiful big eyes.
And yes I would have said the exact same thing about the couple at the beach and yes, we too did the same thing. :laughing: I remember even when heavily PG, we used to go down to the beach and float for an hour or two after work to relieve my feet after a long day walking around up and down stairs, etc. And I used to float with my legs wrapped around DH in the water. It was really nice though. Aaaahhhhh wish I could do that again... :rolleyes: No water near here though!
DH said last night that the christening yesterday reminded him why we moved away from Sydney. It was very OTT and over-whelming. He said we should just move away again. (just thinking out loud really, no set plans) Oh boy.... I really like being near people again. I said it would be nice if we could stay here for a little longer, travel a little, have another baby and then move somewhere that is too far for people to just pop in but close enough to drive down here for a weekend or something. I said like the central coast.
DH said he appreciated his parents more when there was a bit of distance... too funny!
I'm not moving again so soon though. As good as it sounds, we now know what it's like both ways so we really need to think about it. I am sure our move out of Noosa was a reaction to the idiot step dad. We were in a really bad situation up there so got as far away as quickly as possible. Maybe in a better situation, it may have worked out....
Oh boy, the school just called and one of the nieces is sick. Her mother is at the hospital sitting with the aunty and the in-laws are out getting groceries. I swear one of her kids is sick EVERY DAY. She will come back here (as I've called the FIL on his mobile) and then watch TV all day, eat cr@p and want to play with Sam... to which she will get a big fat NO because if she's "sick" she's not going near my son! Sorry, sounds nasty but I had to be on my death bed to get a day off school growing up. :rolleyes:
Kirilly'sMum - I just sent you a PM. I'll suggest the others to you once we're friends and you can add them too. :thumbsup:
Stg he really sounds awful but i agree with MOS about writing everything down because if he is all talk won't the courts see that? also just curios what are the visitation rights for a breastfed baby? if he did get to have her for a bit owuld you have to express or is it just between feeds?
Well I spoke to solicitor he said he would get supervised 1 hour a week.. until she is like 18 months -2 years old then basically he could go for 50/50 andgood chance of getting it.
He cant look after a baby. I mean overnight stays, the feeding, the routine the sleeping :(:(
stg, how did he find out about Charli in the first place?
I didnt keep my big mouth shut and mentioned her to a chick that knows him. Worst mistake of my life.
stg, that's not very nice of that girl to open her mouth. It's not her place. I hope you've given her a piece of your mind. What a b!tch!

stg- maybe u should say that u just realised he isn't actually the father.
then wouldn't he have to go for dna testing/ pay for it...
maybe that would put him off
Or even better stg, let it slip to this girl with the big mouth that you don't think he's the father and laugh about it like he's a sucker - she's SURE to run to him again! :D

I like your thinking:yes:
say something like he'll do for the child assistance, if he's too stupid to find out for sure. Too bad
Even if he then bags you to everyone who really cares so long as Charli is safe and happy.
BTW thanks for the comments on Chaise, i think she's beautiful too. Dh is goung to get his gun license just in case :laughing: no not really.
my god you girls can :ecomcity: :ecomcity: you could talk the ear off an elephant!
don't know how you fit it all in with everything else....
i only come on when kids are sleeping or quiet enough for me to sneak 10 or so minutes in.
don't know what else to really say so behind on the chit chat, i'd have to spend a week on here to keep up with it all.

stg, that's not very nice of that girl to open her mouth. It's not her place. I hope you've given her a piece of your mind. What a b!tch!
I know. she has known him for years and i was talkign to her about how I was conflicted about telling him but just wanna look out for my daughter etc etc. And without batting an eyelid she goes and tells him. She's a trashy derro - she wouldnt understand what wellbeing of a child would mean.
stg- maybe u should say that u just realised he isn't actually the father.
then wouldn't he have to go for dna testing/ pay for it...
maybe that would put him off
I tried that. And hell no, im not agreeing to it - he isnt on the birth certificate if he wants rights he has to get a dna test.
apparently he has to pay for the test and court fees (any idea how much this is??)
I tried the whole not the father thing.. But don't think he is buying it. I should have said that as soon as he found out. Would have been a save but Ive gone on too long saying he IS the father that he doesnt buy it.. I dont think?
Or even better stg, let it slip to this girl with the big mouth that you don't think he's the father and laugh about it like he's a sucker - she's SURE to run to him again! :D
I would but I dont talk to her anymore for obvious reasons. Ive cut off everyone who knows him.
Hmm I better go grab some lunch. Charli napping after a big banana lunch :laughing: She's so funny with the noises she makes when eating banana.
"Mmmmm... MMMmmMMMMmm.. MMMMMMM!!!"
It's all important :ecomcity::ecomcity:candiee :laughing:

hahahah - me too!!

yes!!! i love it! what brilliance mos:yelclap::yelclap::laughing::laughing:
Hmm the question is would he buy it or would he go to court to find out paternity..
she really does look like him in some pics he has seen.. its hard to deny

Boy these kids are lookers ;)
You'll have all the girlies knocking at ya door when they hit their teens
stg im not sure how much it costs to go to court? if he is a low income earner he would be eligible for legal aid but if not it pprob depends how good of a lawyer/solicitor he hires. i would think it would be roughly in the 5000 to 12000 area. dna tests i think maybe a few hundred? but i really dont know for sure. id be pretty sure the longer it has been with him having little to no contact the less a court would award him. like if when she is 3 and he goes for 50/50 but he has only ever seen her like 3 times they wouldnt just award him 50 care. do u know how much he earns? if u think he is put off by paying for his daughter do the sums of how much he would be supposed to pay that might scare him off i think off the top of my head for 1 child whom he does not care for at all he pays 17% of his gross income not including the first 11000, but child support rules have been changing recently so it would pay to check out their website first
hmmm yeah
He works on and off. Just retail or sales type things. doesnt stay in one job longer than 6 months.
I wonder if he would get legal aid. hrm
the solicitor said it would take 6-8 months for things to be finalised. This is if I say he is the father. If I fight that an he has to get paternity...? I wonder how long it can be drawn out for
Very quick one before I rush out the door. I haven't looked at any photos, I'll do that when I get back.
stg -I'll reply to your's when I get back too.
Haven't re read so sorry for any spelling mistakes.
he eats prob 1-2 table spoons of farex/fruit/formula all mixed up in morn
then prob 4 tablespoons of veggies at night
prob only 1-2 at lunch as we only just starting lunch
im not really sure if i should just let him eat as much as he wants or not but i guess that what we are doing when he seems uniterested i stop
I give Chais the Heinz jars. He'll have a jar in the morning for breakfast. Either the apple & blueberry muesli or apple & banana cereal. He will eat 3/4 - the whole jar. At lunch he has about 1/2 jar of a fruit one, plain apple or pear or today we had the apple & mango & he ate the whole jar! At dinner I try & give him a vegie one, but he's not too keen. He had the chicken & sweetcorn last night & ate about 1/2. If I give him a fruit jar, he'd eat the whole thing!
Like write down when you told him he could see her then when he actually does (if that happens). I'd put my money on him not bothering TBH.
Yep, def document EVERYTHING!!!!!!
whats everyone doing tomorrow? is it a public holiday there? we have a public holiday here, so we might go on a picnic if the weather is nice.
No public hol in NSW :no:
Gorgeous pics BB... as always... :rolleyes:
Hey funny thing - this house shuts down from about 1:30 until about 3pm. Both of the in-laws fall asleep on the lounges in the lounge room and Sam has his nap - and I sit here bored or lie down with Sam. It's quite peaceful.
Today is the first day I've stayed home and not tried to get the hell outta here... and the IL's haven't gone out other than the 15 min trip to Woolies. It's been nice. The MIL offered to help me beg out the one load of washing but I was OK. Being outside in the nice warm sunshine even if it is just to do washing has been really nice today. Then when it came time to peg out Sam's stff, she offered to watch Sam for me so it helped me and she had fun. I am really making an effort to make sure she gets something out of letting me do some things around here.
I know what our main problem is though, thinking about it: We're both control freaks. IF you do something in her house, it has to be done HER WAY. But I think if I'm doing something, I am going to do it my way and stuff anybody who tries to tell me otherwise! :D So we clash...
She'll be happy - one of Sam's bibs had mould growing on it after only about 3 days sitting in the bucket waiting for a load to pile up. So I've left it soaking in the laundry. Any ideas on how to get that out? It's BAD. I've tried scrubbing it with some nappy san but nope, no luck... :no: Oh well super woman will get it out - otherwise I'll just chuck it.
I messaged DH and told him if he comes by here after work I'll go to the pub with him for a beer and to put the bets on for tomorrow (please don't be jealous SMO3! :laughing:). He called me back and said "Are you saying that if I come and get you, you'll leave Sam with mum and come with me?". He sounded so happy. He's been asking me to do that for a while now and I don't see the point in leaving Sam just to go to the pub... but if it makes him happy... it'll definitely make his mum happy! I'm in a much more accommodating mood today - look what happens when you let me wipe my own bum for once! :D

MOS you sound like you are having a wonderful day, good on you for letting her babysit hope you pick a winner!
mos i am sooooooooooooo jealous hehe. good for u
with the mold i use cheap no name brand napisan soaker stuff mix it with hot water and leave it over night if its rally bad might take a few goes. sound like u and th mil are finding a peacful middle ground:yelclap:
stg just my opion but if i was in your shoes id fight id deny him and fight it all the way to the death lol but its totally up to i do have an ex who is my dds father but she ws 18 months old when i left him so they had an established relationship and whilst he is a bit of a loser i guess i fiure that he doesnt hurt and he loves her and ill have to let her make her own decisions so i never fought him over access. each situation is different though and i guess if i was in yours i think id be doing the same as u only i am much more *****y and snappy and would prob not be so calm about it as u. i think u aredoing a great job and are an awesome mum:hugs: charlis lucky to have u
awww thank you:hugs:
Oh yeah im fighting it. Im.. trying to pretend to be accomodating to him so as not to **** him off. But ive made it clear I will NOT have a bar of him being alone with her til she is at least 4 or 5 or til she can talk (tell me what the hell goes on) and until he gains my trust (impossible)
when in reality I wouldnt even be that generous.
Make it seem like im accomodating. .. when really im not haha
Why cant he be a deadbeat dad.
Like if he wanted to see her every couple months for an hour or so just to see her progress, then Frig off completely the rest of the time, I'd be ecstatically happy you know and completely fine with it. Its the fact he wants to crawl into inner aspects of her life and how she is raised that gets me . even though he is a slackass and hasnt bothered with her. its like he wants to rule her life without putting himself out too much
Its why I have the DVO. He is a mental case. Im lucky I was strong enough to get out of the situation.
At times he has has
- "If you dont get rid of it, I will or will find someone who will" - When I found out I was pregnant
- Has threatened court out of spite (when I NEVER said he couldnt see her)
- "I want charli's brothers and sister to have the same dad" and actually tried to guilt and manipulate me that im a bad mum if she has different bros and sisters in the future
- When early pregnancy he said that she wont have another dad so I cant date anyone til she is 18.
I didnt take a bar of it. These Among many other things. He is a nut case. I dont even think he realises what he is doing or how stupid he is. He is very cunning and maniupulative and a GREAT actor. But is brain dead at the same time.
He did manipulate me to an extent pre pregancy, but I broke loose
well im glad u can see him for what he is. hopefully he is all bark and no bite

It seems to be what iM looking for :)
Babywez i am glad the weather held out for you, how did you run your naming ceremony? did you have a celebrant? i am so confused and don't even know where to start for Q's.
I called several celebrants and the cheapest was $230. I had a friend do it for $0 (bought her a little thank you gift). There is nothing legal about the cermony, so it doesn't matter who does it. I can email you the ceremony script if you are interested.
Didn't you see the newsflash on that one? You must be SUCH A DAG to wear bottoms. :laughing: Mine's not what it used to be either... but now I have porn star knockers! Look on the bright side, eh?!
And about skimpy outfits, etc I look at some girls and think all sorts of things about the length of their skirts, etc but I think what it really comes down to is that I used to be able to wear things like that and am now just a little bitter!
Y'know, all this talk about bodies, etc...I had FINALLY gotten to a point where I was happy with my body. Then I found out I was pregnant. And I have never really had a positive body image. I think its from growing up with my mum always talking about how fat she was. I look at pics from high school when I thought I was "fat" and ohmygod. I was anything but!!! I understand its important to be comfortable in your own skin, but I am just not. And I think its important for mums to set examples for their daughters. Mum put herself down so much, and I know I do that now, and wonder if it is because of living with her doing the same thing?
awww thank you:hugs:

I don't know what to tell you STG. I am sorry you are in this situation with this guy. Just be very careful, and like others suggested, keep a diary/journal of everything. I'd be careful about screwing him around too much tho, b/c if it does end up in court, that may not look favourable on your side, iykwim?
Also meant to say, was shopping w/ my mum this weekend and saw a tennis skirt on clearance. I said, "But its a size 14, I'm not sure it will fit" and she didn't miss a beat and said "Nope, no way" Thanks mum. Its the first time since I was 15 that I wanted to say "F You" to my mother!! So that kind of support isn't helpful. She's also told me on SEVERAL occassions that she "Never went back to the same size after having children." whenever I talk about my clothes not fitting.

Wow babywez i could have written the exact thing about weight and growing up, my mum was and still is obsessed with her weight i too thought i was fat at high school but i am 175cm and weighed about 60kg!! i would be happy with 70 these days. I think my body image is a huge reflection on my mothers attitude when i was growing up which is why i am trying to focus on getting healthy now so Q doesn't have me going on about how fat i feel her whole childhood i never want her to know how many points is in anything ( no offense to anyone doing weight watchers but my mum joined 6 years ago and now runs meetings for them so its a common conversation)
And i would love a copy of the script i will pm my email to you thanks:thumbsup:
Hey ladies
Uh oh quick one, Summer just woke up :rolleyes:
Had the mole out from my tummy today, plus 2 raised ones on my belly he 'shaved' off for me for purely cosmetic reasons lol
Ouchies, but hey, I'm getting used to people coming at my belly with scalpels and needles in their hands lol. Being sent to pathology, so fingers crossed that all is okay.
Best go wash my hands, sticky fingers from coffee and walnut cake I bought in woolies :o obviously not a good points day for me, but I am getting here slowly and still manage to enjoy myself here and there (gosh I love my food! :o).
I was wondering where you were k8y. It was unlike you to be so silent today...

Lucky you are free of this man. Imagine one day he might marry some poor lady and try to control her the same way? Single mum or not, Charli's much better without him. You can be her mum AND dad!

Babywez, I've seen the pics of you at your naming ceremony. Your mum surely meant the size 14 would be too small??? You don't look bigger than a 14.
We had a nice arvo. Went to the local pub for a beer and put our bets on for tomorrow. Put a few mystery quinella's on too. And when we got back we pulled the high chair box out of the garage and assembled it. The MIL was out the back door sooooo fast and said she had to go and check on the sick niece (the SIL lives 4 houses down the road). DH thinks she was off to tell the SIL that we got Sam a high chair.
About 2 months ago, the SIL told DH that she wanted to get Sam's high chair for christmas. We were going to get him the high chair for Chrissy and I was very particular about which one I wanted (yes, just like the Baby Bjorn which she INSISTED on buying - which turned into a bulky Fisher Price job!)... so at the time, DH told her to speak to me and she didn't. So we forgot about it. I had been looking around for the exact one for a while and once I saw it on special, at a shop where I get 10% discount also, I decided to grab it. It is AWESOME! And I put Sam in it and he seems to like it too. The tray is still a little high for him but I took a few pics so will see if I can post a little later.
Anyway now I'm worried the SIL had gotten in early and already bought one. I hope she can swap it or get her money back if she did. She might not have bought one (:fingerscrossed:) but I hope I don't cop it. Isn't it like someone going out and buying a pram? You are going to use it a lot, so want to do your research and get the one you want chose yourself? Oh well....
I told DH to tell her we need a cheap and simple port-a-cot if she mentioned it again but she didn't. I'd never ask anyone to spend the amount of money I spent on this high chair but I really wanted this one, so what was I supposed to do? We're going away at the end of the year and will need a port-a-cot then so she can still get him something that he needs. Also, she thinks because she's his god mother that she should spoil him. DH is god father to one of her kids and that one gets the same amount of money spent on her as the other 3 kids in her family. Why should she spend $250 on Sam's present when we only spend $30 on the present we get her daughter/H's god daughter?
Seems so petty I know. Can't believe I'm even wasting my time typing about it. My point is, I hope she doesn't have a go at me for buying Sam's high chair... :o
She def meant the 14 would be too small. I am pretty tall - 180cm so I don't look as big as I am. If I was short...oh geez. I was a US 12 coming over here, and I'm probably in between AUS 14 and 16 now. The avg Aus woman is size 14, its sad that we're made to feel "plus size" for being that "big". Granted I could stand to lose a few inches around the waist and tummy, I wouldn't say I'm "healthy" but I wouldn't say I'm obese, either. Oh well, they're just numbers in the end, its all about how you feel I reckon. And I am feeling tired, lazy and heavy. But I'm going to cut myself some slack since I'm still not getting much sleep and that makes it hard to exercise a lot. If I'm still using that excuse after a year tho, smack me upside the head please :)

OK deal. You look great though, not overweight at all. ESPECIALLY since you had a baby a few months ago. It's not the easiest thing, losing weight... well unless your name is BB, k8y, kotakai or...? ... have I missed some other skinny bee-yatch? ;):laughing:
im a couple kilos lighter than prepregnancy lol.. didnt try.. just breastfeedin takin it outa me i think

MOS - White vinegar kills mould, and is safe for the environment and Sam :)
k8y - Ï have a mole on my nose that I HAAAATE! Does that mean I can walk in and say I want them to cut it off and they will?? Does it cost anything???
That's all I can remember from what I read! Sorry guys - I am a bit brain dead tonight.
I had my pre-admissions clinic thingy and it was O.K. Mum was supposed to come with me, but I asked her if she would watch Elliot at home instead so I didn't have to drag him to the hospital. She was reluctant, but agreed in the end. He didn't eat or drink anything the whooole time I was gone! I defrosted all this milk and I had to tip all of it down the sink because he wouldn't touch it.
Am kind of freaking out now. Mum refuses to try and feed him from a cup for some weird reason. Dp is too unco to feed Elliot from a cup. He would just spill it all over him.
Sigh. Oh well. The good news is they say that I can probably just stay for the one night rather than the two so that is great. Other than that, they were pretty unmoving on the breastfeeding issue. They just said to bring my breast pump so I could express if it was a time when I couldn't see Elliot and my breasts were engorged.
Um what else. Oh the anaethetist is the same woman who did my epidural, and she's super lovely so that was good.
Am taking El to a friend's to watch the Melbourne Cup tomorrow. I'm trying to find a particular a dress to wear but it's buried in the spare room somewhere. Gaah
Good news is that Dad thinks our grannie flat will be ready to move into on the weekend!!! But, knowing him, that might get pushed back a bit :P
Hi all
Just dropping in quickly to say Hello to you all.
Not much to say today - have been in a rubbish mood all day, Liam has not stopped whinging all day long, and its really takenit out of me. Hes been feeding for about a minute every hour before falling asleep on the boob, I put him in his cot and he wakes up grizzling.
DH has an rdo today and has been getting in my face about Liams grizzling, like he expects me to know whats wrong with him. I think his (Liams) routine is up the spout because of DHs rdo, but cant really say that to him (DH) can I;).
Anyway, :fingerscrossed:tomorrow is a better day. Hope you all have a great night and pick a winner for tomorrow!Take care :flowerz:
Lambkin, how about an oral syringe? Might take a while but it's better than nothing... You could even try putting some in his mouth with the syringe and then sticking the dummy in and repeating as much as possible... or will he take the bottle in his sleep? I'm all outta suggestions. I hope you find your dress.
Not sure what I'm doing tomorrow. Didn't get to go to the council today so might do that tomorrow morning. The IL's are going to some lunch so unless DH gets home early (unlikely), I'll be watching it at home with Sam.
Good night all. Chat tomorrow. :wave:
MOS I won't say it's been easy, but the results are worth it. I feel better :yes:
lambkin the initial consult cost $60, but most back on medicare as over the threshold etc etc. Then the costs for the procedure was bulk billed so I didn't have to pay a cent. I have a few raised moles on my back (one in particular that looks like it's ready to take over the world :laughing:) so when I go back to get the stitches out, he's going to 'shave' those off for me too! I told him we would just stick to the ones on the front today as I wanted in particular to see how the shaved ones turn out. All I have to do is just keep a bandaid on those ones for 24 hours, then it forms a (sorry TMI) scab that heals as normal.

DP has day off today too and I agree, it's so easy to have their routine thrown out from it. Summer didn't get her bath until 8pm, then I let her settle a bit and into bed by 8.30pm.
I must say before I forget, Summer is like a different baby. I think the losec is starting to work. She just seem so much happier and less irritable. She's still whingy and I still have to entertain her, but not half as much as I used to now.
She giggles all the time now :yes:

Thanks MOS! You are awesome. We definitely need to try him when he is sleeping/super sleepy. He doesn't refuse it as such - he just doesn't really know what to do with it! We got the teats that are the same as the dummy, but it's like he thinks it's just another teething toy or something. Weird.
And thanks k8y! I think I shall look into it!
Sucks he can't room in with you lambkin :rolleyes: I agree, just sneak him in.
I forgot to mention, Summer let fluffy off the chain the bath tonight :laughing: It was so funny, seeing all the little bubbles surface from her little butt - and peeeyouuuuu! :laughing:
Morning all :wave:
Everyone's photos are great! I'll have to take some new ones & post them soon.
It's not the easiest thing, losing weight... well unless your name is BB, k8y, kotakai or...? ... have I missed some other skinny bee-yatch?
:laughing: you def can't put me & skinny in the same sentance!!!!!

That will be great if it's ready.

Sorry about your day. Hope today is better.

That's fantastic! It's so cute when they giggle, isn't it.
We got the teats that are the same as the dummy, but it's like he thinks it's just another teething toy or something. Weird.
I went through 4 dif bottles till I found 1 that Chais will drink. He only likes the Mam ones. I tried him on the Mam dummy cause I think they're so cute, but he hated it! He'll only use a pidgeon dummy :confused:

awww thank you:hugs:
Oh yeah im fighting it. Im.. trying to pretend to be accomodating to him so as not to **** him off. But ive made it clear I will NOT have a bar of him being alone with her til she is at least 4 or 5 or til she can talk (tell me what the hell goes on) and until he gains my trust (impossible)
when in reality I wouldnt even be that generous.
Make it seem like im accomodating. .. when really im not haha
Why cant he be a deadbeat dad.
Like if he wanted to see her every couple months for an hour or so just to see her progress, then Frig off completely the rest of the time, I'd be ecstatically happy you know and completely fine with it. Its the fact he wants to crawl into inner aspects of her life and how she is raised that gets me . even though he is a slackass and hasnt bothered with her. its like he wants to rule her life without putting himself out too much
Its why I have the DVO. He is a mental case. Im lucky I was strong enough to get out of the situation.
At times he has has
- "If you dont get rid of it, I will or will find someone who will" - When I found out I was pregnant
- Has threatened court out of spite (when I NEVER said he couldnt see her)
- "I want charli's brothers and sister to have the same dad" and actually tried to guilt and manipulate me that im a bad mum if she has different bros and sisters in the future
- When early pregnancy he said that she wont have another dad so I cant date anyone til she is 18.
I didnt take a bar of it. These Among many other things. He is a nut case. I dont even think he realises what he is doing or how stupid he is. He is very cunning and maniupulative and a GREAT actor. But is brain dead at the same time.
He did manipulate me to an extent pre pregancy, but I broke loose
With you having a DVO against him surely the court will look into him properly. It must be doing your head in, i can't imagine. Lets just hope he finds himself another toy to entertain him and forgets about Charli.
Y'know, all this talk about bodies, etc...I had FINALLY gotten to a point where I was happy with my body. Then I found out I was pregnant. And I have never really had a positive body image. I think its from growing up with my mum always talking about how fat she was. I look at pics from high school when I thought I was "fat" and ohmygod. I was anything but!!! I understand its important to be comfortable in your own skin, but I am just not. And I think its important for mums to set examples for their daughters. Mum put herself down so much, and I know I do that now, and wonder if it is because of living with her doing the same thing?
Me too, my mum is obsessed with her weight. She is very short but looks fantastic and she always wants to lose a few kgs. I always feel guilty for what i eat around her. We would NEVER stop into maccas and have a meal with her.:no: Also my Pa has called me fat for as long as i can remember.
I'm not unhappy with my weight at all. I'd much rather be happy than forever worying about what i'm eating. Although i really only have about 3-4 extra kgs on me atm so i cant complain anyway. My flabby tummy does get me down though.
Had a reasonable night here, Lara woke at 2 and then 6 which she rarely does but she did feed and go straight back to sleep so i don't mind and Chaise slept through and seems to be feeling back to normal.
i applyed for some christmas work with cotton on kids. Just 1 or 2 3 hour shifts a week. The extra cash would be great and wont stuff up my feeding at all. Speaking of feeding lara is hungry.:wave:
Three mornings in a row now, Nicklas has woken up at 4 am and doesn't go back to sleep. But I think he's figured out we're not getting up any time soon, b/c he just lies there and stares at the celing/fan and if I wake up and look at him he just smiles at me. He's quite a cheeky little monkey. So of course after his feed at 7, he passes back out. He's off to my step-mum today and I'm going to a luncheon with 5 other gals. Got my dress, shoes, hat, and $10 to bet with. HA. Maybe I'll stick it in the pokies rathe than on a horse. I'm not sure how I feel about horse racing, it does seem cruel, but I think the horses get a lot of love, too. Or maybe that's only if they win. I dunno. ANyway, rambling now, have a good day all!

Hey girls!
Well, must say I'm not even going to attempt to catch up on all the :ecomcity:... if it's been said once, it's been said a thousand times - June 08 girls can TALK!!! :D
Well, we got back to Brisbane on Saturday, so it took a full week. Although we stayed in Moree two nights at a mate's place. They're due to have a bub in 2 weeks, and she is honestly huge. My belly didn't get anywhere near the size....hope I get a big one next time:p
Khirra did so, so well coming over. We travelled from 8am to about 5pm most days, and she was a champ. Really only got grizzly at the end of the day, but could be distracted. Had people come round on Sunday to see her so she was very tired by the end of the day. So yesterday she had a nap every hour and slept for like an hour. Poor bub.
She's started the beginnings of sitting back on the 19th. She can sit up by herself but she has to have her hands on the ground beside her to stop her falling over. Although she can sit without them for about 30seconds or so now. It's very cute...and crazy how quickly they're growing up :(
Anyhoo girls, better go get her down for a rest. Hope all is well, and I'll be back to catch up with all your news soon! xox

haha yeah Charlotte isnt a huge fan or taker of the bottle but she will.. if she has to..
She kinda just looked at me with this blank confused look on her face as if to say "what the hell are you doing" then sorta rolled the teat around in her mouth like a toy. If formula is involved she pulls a repulsed face and gags on the taste.
The night before was a fluke (7.30pm-6am without a stir in her OWN cot)
Last night I put her down at 7.30. She stirred for dummy at 9. She woke up at 10 and I had to feed her. So 11 we both finally sleep. Her in My bed not hers lol. And she is stirring from 5.30am. I keep popping her dummy in half asleep til 6am til I give up and get her up.
Three mornings in a row now, Nicklas has woken up at 4 am and doesn't go back to sleep.

Yay! WB ems :wave:
Glad the trip went well :yes:
Am off with my neighbour (Nanny Nola - we call her that for Summer though she is only 50) to go looking at more christening dresses :rolleyes:
We had a huge flat screen tv wall mounted in our bedroom yesterday - Summer loves it :o

Oh good, Nick's not the only one who likes the TV! We watch Rags and Humphrey B Bear, although he has been known to watch some Neighbours and Home and Away with me when he's awake. Today he's watching the horsies.
babywez Summer too has loved watching the horsies this morning :laughing:
I have some very exciting news to share.
I got my :bfp: :smiliedance:
It's only very early days though, so I hope I don't jinx myself by talking about it. Don't know if I should put a ticker up yet.

Oh my god - Congrats kotakai :yelclap::yelclap: That's fantastic news. July babies are the best (I'm one :D)
I have to say you're a braver girl than me. OH brought the subject up again last night and I told him it's not even up for discussion!!!
I found out yesterday that my sister and her husband have to have fertility treatment. She is 38 so her chances were already lower for falling pregnant. I am so gutted for her. My parents have just left after being over here nearly a month, my mother knew they were going for tests and never mentioned a thing to me! Poor things - her OH's bro had their first baby 6 weeks after DD was born - apparently he had the same probs as my brother in law has and their little one was an IVF baby. So they are having baby news all round expect for them. I can't stop thinking about her. She's a teacher and teaches littlies so is constantly surrounded by them. I so hope things work out for them.
Well I'm off to Mothers Group - we are dressing up and wearing hats to watch the race. I think DD will look better than me tho as I don't own a dress:yes: Managed to fit into a top and pants that I had for my birthday year before last - never worn them as I was too fat!

Best of luck C&L'sMummy. I hope you get the job. It might cost you more than you make though - they have some super cute stuff there and a staff discount could be TROUBLE! :D
Welcome back ems. Great to have you back. Yeah don't even bother trying to catch up with us. It's all k8ys fault... ;) Do you know we got kicked off our last thread as there were way too many posts?! Glad to hear your trip went well too. Does it feel great to be back with friends and family? (That may just wear off after a while when you start to crave some peace and quiet! Nah only joking!).
Speaking of getting moles removed, etc remember that if you're already over the threshold with Medicare, you get I think 80% rebated until the end of the calendar year, so end of Dec. So if you need to get anything like that done, get it done soon. I'm over my threshold and my wasted visit to the OB (where he told me to "buy lube and keep trying") which cost me $140 REALLY only cost me $15... so not too bad at all...

Best of luck to them Bella. I've had a few friends and family members have IVF babies. DH and I actually looked around at the christening we went to on Sunday and realised that everyone had kids now. There have been a few couples that were in excess of 10 yrs trying, some 6 yrs, etc... but they have all been lucky enough to have been blessed with children now. I think things have come a long way in that dept and from what I've seen around me, more and more people are having success with IVF. I hope they have the same happy ending. :babydust2:
Went and had a coffee with a friend this morning. It was really nice. She felt ripped off as Sam slept through the whole thing, trip there and back and all! We were both dressed by her today. I told her, you know at events, when the reporters ask who they're dressed by today? Well Sam and I are "dressed by Jess"! I was wearing the top she got ny for Chrissy last year and Sam was wearing something she bought too. I had to change my top tough as Sam just :barf: down my cleavage.
Speaking of chucking, kotakai, any symptoms yet??? Did you get AF first if you don't mind me asking? Congrats again. Forgot to say the other day, I could tell you've lost weight since the last time we met. You're looking good... for now!!!!! heheheheheh!!! Sorry...you know me!

Why do u think i wanna work there... it said on the ad GREAT staff discounts. I'll stock up on clothing for the girls till they're in their teens...
So i'm guessing you will be the next with a :bfp: MOS. How do u actually get pregnant when af hasn't returned?
Hi everyone!
Another quick one from me. My mood has much improved today, DH Liam and I went for a huge walk in the sun, and I feel so much better:)
WB Ems! Glad the trip went well for you!
Kotakai - CONGRATULATIONS!!:smiliedance:
Well, Im going out for tea tonight to catch up with some friends - more gossip - is that all I ever do? Im really looking forward to it. DH will be looking after Liam by himself......oh to be a fly on the wall:laughing:Hes good with him, but then Im always around to refer to.....wonder how many text messages I'll get from him;)
Anyways, will catch you all tomorrow. Have a great afternoon, and take care:flowerz:

You weren't joking that you wanted them close....:laughing:........that was quick :yelclap:
So they will be 14months apart???
Congrats Kokatai! Hope you have a smooth pregnancy. Nicklas is way too much to handle right now with his screaming and erratic sleeping, I think being PG would be too much added stress. But I do think it would be nice to have siblings close in age, especially when they're older.
I have heard that a lot of women conceive very easily in between having bub and getting AF back, tho how that happens, don't ask me. That's why they mention the mini pill to you 8 million times in hospital, b/c it is easy to get PG apparently.
And congrats to BB!! Who did you have $ on? I didn't win anything. I put money on the fave and on the underdog, figured one of them had to at least place, but nada.
So i'm guessing you will be the next with a :bfp: MOS. How do u actually get pregnant when af hasn't returned?
Not me... gotta decide first and we're taking our time with that decision! Today it's a yes... but it's forever changing...
And it's a SLIM chance but in order to get AF back, you have to O first... at which point if you fall PG straight away, AF doesn't return. It has happened...
:yelclap:I just won $$$ on the Melbourne Cup...woohoo
Congrats BB. How much did you win? We had $5 each way on the horses that came 2nd and 3rd. One was my pick and the other was DH's pick. I also told him to put a few dollars on number 10 because that's the date that Sam was born on.... but sadly we didn't. DH also won $66 in an office sweep off $3. They had a few winner takes all sweeps and he won one of them! So YAY! :smiliedance: We also put some money on 2 horses for the IL's and they won too.
Off to calculate our winnings.
Oh and hey, just heard RBA dropped interest rates again by .75% so more people win! :yelclap:
Congrats katoaki:goodvibes:

Oh my goodness Kotakai - Congrats!!!:smiliedance: You must be thrilled to have your close gap :yelclap: Will be exciting to join another 'due in' thread! Wishing you all the sticky dust in the world hun!
Yeah don't even bother trying to catch up with us. It's all k8ys fault... Do you know we got kicked off our last thread as there were way too many posts?! Glad to hear your trip went well too. Does it feel great to be back with friends and family? (That may just wear off after a while when you start to crave some peace and quiet! Nah only joking!).
:laughing: Naturally I knew it was K8y doing all the :ecomcity: MOS, it certainly would never have entered my head that YOU might be filling the pages, you meek, silent-type you! ;) The being kicked out of a thread doesn't surprise me one bit, funnily enough!!!
It does feel great to be back. Caught up with my mum's side of the family on Sunday... Nanna kept called Khirra 'him' and 'he'... the word senile comes to mind, haha. Saw my bestie and her little man on Sunday too - honestly he is like 3 times the size of DD! She looks like an absolute midget, next to him, lol. But he is just gorgeous... so they're engaged to be married already :p Seeing my Dad's side and some more friends this weekend. We're living with Mum at the moment until DP gets a job, then we can decide what area to move to.
We'll be heading down to the central coast in about 2weeks I think to see DP's family, so that will be good... except another 6hour drive for poor DD.
So it seems a few of us are looking at heading back to work?? What are you girls looking at doing? I'm so far behind!
Ugh. DD is going mental in Mum's arms at the moment, so should go save her.
Oh, meant to say hugs to Bella for your family heading back home. Must be so hard. And for your sister - hope things work out for her very quickly!
