Just a quick one girls, as I've fallen behind so much on the chatter!
Oconky - yay for Pip standing! Clever little munchkin... she has been following closely with all the same things Kiz has been doing - knew it wouldn't be long :D
And BB - woohoo for Casey!!! So clever :yelclap: You are going to be busy with two on the move, lol! I'm flat-out just chasing after Khirra all the time - those last few kilos will just drop off! I found with Khirra that once she started crawling, her sitting just improved so dramatically. The balance just kicked in or something.
See, Khirra's not the only freak ;)
MOS - how exciting to be TTC! Hope it happens for you soon.
Lambkin - poor little Elliott. Must have been terrible for him (and you). Glad he's feeling better now! And glad the casting turned out! They're such a great memory, I think :yes:
K8y - :hugs: for Summer starting CC on Tuesday hun. Maybe just give her a few short days to start with - see how she goes. That way you'll know that it's not to long between feeds if she won't take the bottle... I'm sure she will though babe :hugs:
C38 - I wouldn't be too jealous about being able to dress them in nappies up here. I'm finding it's been so warm that she just spends most days in a nappy, so she's not getting use out of her clothes. Lucky she's such a midget I guess... 7 months now and she's still in 000's... haven't even tried a 00 on her yet. So I guess the clothes are lasting! Plus, it's so muggy some days, it's so hard to get them to sleep.
Anyway, like you girls have been talking about today, going to spend some time with DP... rub some aloe vera on him... he played 18 holes today with a mate of his who's a Pro, and is red raw. Dufus.
Have a nice night girls.

Afternoon all,
Its such a nice day here we managed to wash the car. DF was also in the mood and cleaned the house for me so i could relax.
We had a little inncident this morning, Halie was painting outside and when i wasnt looking she bought the paint inside and left it on the ground. Well little miss Kara found it and was covered in orange paint, luckaly she hadnt swallowed any.
Congrats everyone on the weight loss!! Im at the weight i want i just need the modivation to tone up. really need to tone up my stomach the most, been trying to use the pool for everything else.

DP and I have been looking for a wedding ring for me in the sales, but I've not found much I love. I don't like diamonds really, but the style I want all have diamonds! Have decided to look at some antique ones instead
Have you thought about another stone instead of a diamond in the same style???
oopsie daisy!! Did you get a photo of her all orange???
And yes I would love another stone in a similar style to what I like! I am on the look out but haven't found anything yet.
Hope your Neice is ok:hugs:Not very nice at all:no:
Casey had a UTI not as common in boys as it is in girls, he may have to have another test done? he was also in Hospital for 3days ultrasound was all clear but my GP thinks he may need another test we will see.
Hope you sister is ok? horrible being @ hospital I know how she feels.
Im still on Zoloft,I think thats why I put weight on at the start then had two babies:rolleyes: but I am loosing it now Weight Watchers has been great I think writing down what I eat helps & eating smaller portions cutting out junk food(except WW bars etc)
I took some stuff up to her this afternoon and left DS with my other sister and DP at home. They seem O.K. They've also discovered she has a heart murmur, but hopefully that is alright as well :( So scary and sad. Awful.
And you have done SOO well on WW. I wish I had the guts to go. I was thinking about doing it online, but I don't like spending the money on something I feel like I can just do myself. I should get Fat Club back up and running once I sort out all my meds!
oooooooooow. DH and I decided to walk to blockbuster to check out their Wii selections and movie selections, as we are pretty disappointed in our local VideoEZY. So then from there we walked to Australia Fair and walked around the shops then walked home. 5.2km not including the stores, and 2 1/2 hours later we finally made it home. My feet and legs are soooooooore! I feel like I should instantly lose at least 5 kgs for that one!
All that aside, it is sooooooo much easier to walk with someone else. Especially when they push the pram! ;) That's why walking to work with DH works, b/c once I am out, its the only way to get home, and starting out in the am with him is easy.
Good girl!!
I stocked up on fresh broccoli, sweet pot and carrot this morning for her. I love the satisfaction I get from giving her home cooked food. She hasn't been fed from a jar yet but I think I'd best start soon so that she will eat in an emergency. She had weetbix this morning and wolfed it down. To be honest there's nothing she won't eat - she wasn't too keen on the natural yogurt, a bit tart I would imagine, but still ate it. Mixed it with lots of paw paw the second time to hide the tartness of it.:D
I love the satisfaction I get from that too. DP calls me Supermum!! Yaaay! Although he does eat quite a lot of those Rafferty's Garden ones also when we are out and about :) They're good! Nothing else added. might be a good option for emergencies if you don't fancy the jarred stuff.

:wave:Morning....
Quick post
Taking my Little sister shopping this morning she is soooooooooo excited! Then we are meeting my G/friends for coffee:D
Casey slept all night no stirring :yelclap:
See ya later
What about doing/selling party plan, I looked into it,I was going to sell childrens toys but might look at selling something else,that way you can take Sam with you hold parties when you want & make some extra $$$$....there is babies/kids clothes...all sorts!
Not sure that's me. I don't like GOING to those things as I feel pressured, etc so don't think I'd look forward to actually putting one on myself...
Try just mashing the potato MOS. I tried blending it and the same thing happened - then my cheffy OH said just mash it - a lot - and it was loads better.
I stocked up on fresh broccoli, sweet pot and carrot this morning for her. I love the satisfaction I get from giving her home cooked food. She hasn't been fed from a jar yet but I think I'd best start soon so that she will eat in an emergency. She had weetbix this morning and wolfed it down. To be honest there's nothing she won't eat - she wasn't too keen on the natural yogurt, a bit tart I would imagine, but still ate it. Mixed it with lots of paw paw the second time to hide the tartness of it.:D
I tried mashing it with a fork after it didn't blend well but he chocked as it didn't mash well enough. How else can I make sure it's REALLY smooth? And yes, I get the same satisfaction from making my food too. And Sam still hasn't had anything out of a packet except for the Farex and teething rusks. Oh you should have seen him the other day when DH and I were having lunch. I had him (Sam) on my lap and as I ws bringing a hot chip to my mouth, he grabbed my arm with both hands and tried to steer the chip to his mouth. It was funny, he had his mouth WIDE open and was panting frantically! Sooo desperate!
DH took video of Nicklas laughing at me playing peek-a-boo with him this evening and I just uploaded it to facebook. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/video/video.php?v=43471153387
Hopefully that link works!
That was sooo gorgeous. Don't you love that scream they do with it too? Oh and I also checked out the one of your DH "foot jumping"..... he must be one very cool dad! :D:laughing:
Sam and I are at home alone today. Am going to cook a nice dinner for DH and change the sheets on our bed and get a few things done. I'm really enjoying this staying at home thing while the IL's aren't here. They wouldn't commit to when they're coming home but on the phone yesterday it changed to "3 or 4 days" so I hope they have sooooo much fun it changes to a whole week! :D
Must be off. Chat later. :wave:

Babywez - That video is just precious! Sooooo cute! I love the end where he does the gaspy wind-down laughs, lol. There really is nothing better than a baby laughing... and knowing that we're they're source of joy (for the moment) :goodvibes:
MOS - I forgot to say last night, I think that parent's exercise class last night sounds great - I was looking for that sort of thing over in Perth, and they had one, but is was really, really expensive. And think of all the benefits for you! I love that idea. :thumbsup:
And I don't know if you like the sound of this pototo idea, since you don't want to add cow's milk or butter, but one of my books and the CHN has suggested adding ricotta cheese to bub's meals - says it's fine from 6months. Might help smooth it out a bit... or maybe mash it through a sieve? Just a suggestion :yes:
BB - Wanna swap bubs?? Khirra's sleeping has been shocking lately... I lost times how many times she woke last night... I dunno... it's been since she started crawling and furniture cruising... maybe she's just overstimulated herself :confused:
DP has a job interview today. They've already offered him the job, and he said no (they weren't offering as much money as another job he's applied for) so they called again and have asked him to come in 'for a chat'. We'll see how it goes...
AARRHHH id just written a big post when the new thread was started. Lets see if i can remember what i worte.
NAAAA so annoyed i didnt get a pic of the paint, i had used my battery up the night before at a friends birthday. I did get some video of her crawling and will post that later.
Babywez - I could see the video but i couldnt hear it. must be a prob on my end if everyone else can hear it. Looked very cute tho.
DF still has another week off work, he as already had 2wks and is starting to get very bored.
Kara slept in her ot for the first time last night, but she still woke up. She also bit me 3times yesterday. Only on the left side tho, my nipple is so sore.
Will have to reread some of the post i cant remember what i wrote lol
MOS the guy in the video doing the foot jump thing is my bestie's DH. We were playing Big Beach Sports on Wii and one of the little Miis does that move after getting a birdie in disc golf, so he was trying to do it. Unsuccessfully but it was funny!
And I too think the mums and bubs exercise class sounds great. One of the mums in my mums group does that, and she is fit as a fiddle! Although she is constantly saying how her body isn't what it used to be, which just makes me sick! You should see her...
Re: the potatoes. I have the book "Save our sleep" by Tizzie Hall, and in it she says with potatoes or carrots, or any veggies that you boil, you can add a little bit of the boiled water so that it blends better. That's what I do with the potato/sweet potato, broccoli and carrots.
Nick is loving his fruits, but isn't too keen on his veggies. He used to love them, but I don't know if its the broccoli I added that he doesn't like, or what. Will just have to perservere I think!
Ems - yes, I love being able to make Nick laugh. It is the best feeling in the world and the best sound in the world hearing him laugh. On our walk yesterrday we stopped in Woolworths, and we were waiting in line and I was holding him. We were in the express lane, and it was quite long. I look at him, and he's smiling so I said, "Who are you smiling at?" And I turn around, and all the women in line are smiling at him. I never get sick of strangers telling me how gorgeous he is :)
Didn't walk this morning, as Nick had just fallen asleep aftere being up since 4:30 so I didn't want to wake him. I have tennis tonight though and after our 2 1/2 hour outing yesterday I don't feel so bad.
Have to go pick up my nanna's friend today. She's going to stay with my nanna for a few days as mum is away for a couple of weeks.
Ooops bub's awake from nap!:wave:
Hi all., yeah its been a LONG time lol . . ive been family visiting. There is NO WAY im going to even atempt to catch up. Ill just start fresh haha.. but please, id love any quick updates please!
New with me? Uhh not too much, Got a puppy.. a "Bichon Frise" Non yappy, wool like coat so doesnt lose hair, great with kids.. pricey but other family members got some so we will breed. .. . .
Umm I vaguely hear yous talking about solids. hah im always up for that convo.
Ive been freezing them all together rather than separely in cubes. Id really love to start with the cubes but.. i just dont know how to freeze them separately.. I mean, potato goes all funny when blended and apparently doesnt freeze well alone? and charlotte loves brocolli but you can freeze that alone, so do you mix with like, potato or something?
I dont know it seems harder that way.
And ive only introduced chicked to meals, not fussed on the pureed beed (eww?) so maybe good mince? I dont know how are you guys doing that?
Im afraid my meals will get boring now, cause its just the chick and veg Id like to spice it up a bit you know so any suggestions?
I havent tried her on weetbix or anything yet. though she loves the farex museli. What other new things do you guys give your bubs. or basic food plans for the day? I dont wanna give her fruit and museli for break then fruit and fared for lunch.. I wanna start yeah, changing things and more variety.
hmmm I better get going I have heaps of work to do now im home

hmmm I better get going I have heaps of work to do now im home
stg, I too think I'm being boring with Sam's food but he doesn't seem to mind. For brekky he has half Farex and half fruit or just mashed banana (am introducing banana now so am doing that for a few days), then for lunch he has pear and apple with a small amount of Farex and then for dinner he has a combo of: broccoli, pumpkin, & carrot. This depends on what I have in the freezer. Sometimes I give him just broccoli and he loves that, sometimes I mix all 3. He eats anything really... If he didn't have Faxex for breky I add a little in with his dinner too. And everything I give him is steamed then puree'd.
Also, someone (maybe Ems?) suggested I add the cooking water to the potatoes but that's what I did and it didn't work. Maybe because the starch came out while cooking and then I added it back in? I don't know... I like the idea of mashing through a sieve. I might try that... thanks! :wave: Or maybe just adding really watery pureed carrots. I'll let you know how I go.
Well today my list of things to do just keeps on getting longer. Sam's FINALLY asleep in his cot but it won't last long. I really want to have a coffee but I might save that for his arvo sleep. I've done some washing and stripped our bed. I was going to anyway but the little bugger pee'd on it this morning in the 5 sec window between nappies. :rolleyes: Ummmm.... and I've fed Sam (man he loves banana!) and the dog, locked her up again as she went nuts when DH's niece came to get the FIL's phone charger. I almost had Sam asleep and Roxy went skitzo.
Oh it was kind of cute this morning. I had Sam on his blanket trying to encourage him to move around a little more and Roxy started walking over him. She was stepping over his legs and everything and he was ust cackling! Thy were both having a ball... Then I realised he was pulling chunks of fur off her and he had his hand in his mouth. YUCKO!!! So I put an end to that. Roxy was doing well though, just being very quiet while Sam was terrorising her. She's a yappy dog but she's so gentle with Sam and Sam just loves her. Whenever she's in the room, he watches her and smiles.
Anyway it's bloody hot today so will get this load of washing out and see what else I can get done. My list gets longer. I've now added: "Wash Roxy" and "Sweep Garage" to the list. :rolleyes:
Kara usually eats -
Breakfast 7-8am- weetbix or baby porriage (has to be cold tho, not sure why and have fruit mixed with it)
Lunch 12-1pm- yoghurt, toast, or fruit, occasionally a biscuit
Dinner 5-6pm- baby pasta, her fave at the moment is vegies and couscous. or just vegies.
She likes lumpy/soft chunks in her food. If im having meat (chicken/mince or ham) ill give her a little taste.
What size portions do you guys feed them?? Kara hasnt cut out any feeds since starting solids. She has a feed about 30-1hr before solids.
I get to have a lazy day today. DF is off work for another week (i think a 3week hol is to long) he is getting very bored and yesterday cleaned the house spotless (well everything except the dishes and the bathroom) so i could relax today.
I just found out my nanna is coming to visit from melb. she decided to use her government money to come up to brisbane for a mth because she hasnt seen any of her great grand kids (apart from pics) and to visit my dad because she missed out on his 60th birthday in november. Isnt that sweet.
Milkl feeds are pretty much on schedule now. Things are SO much easier now I have set times for it.
7am, 11am, 3pm, Dinner time, then bed time
Solids an hour after.

Morning
What a productive morning it has been, cleaned up after our belated chrissy lunch (was a great day, so so clucky after cuddling my newborn nephew), did 3 loads of washing, pulled chrissy tree down. I feel great for having everything done and thinking might go for a walk along the beach later as it is such a beautiful day.
Hrm few things i was thinking as i was reading through the posts but u thiunk i can remember now....
Oh goodluck with the TTC MOS.
No AF here either, i wonder if thats why i'm so grumpy all the time..
Um what else, Congrats on the upcoming engagement K8y and hope Summer does OK in CC tom.
Sounds like all the bubs will be crawling in no time. lara has started but very slowely and unco at this stage BUT the little monkey has started sitting herself up from a crawling position. Would be wonderful if she could sit without falling but always topples over and we have tiles.
Lara still no overly keen on the solids. She loves yoghurt and will have the entire tub so i give her that most days for lunch and then some veg for dinner (out of the packet, i take my hat off to those cooking, i don't have the motivation for that)
Hmm was thinking with everyone giving bubs carrots/pumpkin, you shouldn't give them to them all the time as they will end up with a red nose. I'm serious, girl in my mums group for DD1 gave her little boy carrots every night and he had such a red nose. I don't think there is anything actually bad with the vegiesmbut yeah.
MOS don't you hate that when they are just drifting off and in my case idiot hubby yells GRRRR
Stg- Those puppies are so cute. I'd love to get a puppy but not sure i could deal with all the work, we have 2 cats so i guess they'll do till the girls are old enough to help out.
I got a little bit of money for my b,day and i'm wondering how i should spend it. We go away in a month so i thought could go and get a pedicure and manicure OR i would love to go and buy all new makeup. or do the boring thing and put it away for the holiday...
What size portions do you guys feed them?? Kara hasnt cut out any feeds since starting solids. She has a feed about 30-1hr before solids.
Sam has his solids an hour or so after boobie too. And I think we're on about 4-5 tablespoond of solids now. Am increasing slowly ATM from 4 to 5 as he was grabbing for more when the bowl was empty at the end.
Milkl feeds are pretty much on schedule now. Things are SO much easier now I have set times for it.
7am, 11am, 3pm, Dinner time, then bed time
Solids an hour after.
Ours too! It's heaps easier. We're not too rigid with the schedule but an hour or so either side of those times is how we do it..
No AF here either, i wonder if thats why i'm so grumpy all the time...........

C&L'sMummy, I think go and get a cheapo pedi then do your own mani at home and buy something nice to wear on you holiday. That's what I would do! :thumbsup:
And about the orange nose, we've learned that recently! DH said Sam had a little bit of a red nose so now I'm leaning more towards the broccoli. He also had a red bum too - not sore, just stained! :laughing:
And I too think maybe I am grumpy all the time (especially with DH's family) because I am yet to get AF back... or perhaps it was the mini pill. We'll see as my body gets back to normal...
And for those whose bubs are sleeping through and have hence gotten their AF back, how many hours do your bubs' sleep through? Sam sleeps from 8pm (last feed) to 4am (first feed) and then sleeps again until 8am. Should he be sleeping longer? I'm just wondering how to "encourage" AF to return... :o (Never thought I'd be saying THAT!!!). ;)
OK back to washing... I love playing house while there's nobody else here! :thumbsup:
Ooh, forgot to add, those who have me on FB, please don't mention TTC as we are not telling a single soul IRL. We've brought it up with people and the general consensus is that we're NUTS, and we dont know how long it will take so we're not telling anyone. I'm so glad I have you guys, as I think I'd explode! :D
Mine's been sleeping through since 9 weeks old (usually) and she's been eating solids since 4 months, and 3 meals a day for a while now...
no AF
..?
hi all,
no worries about FB MOS!!
glad you are OK stg and congrats on the new addition- did you mention any names??
babywez- my first day of good food eating and Idid not do my walk- too hot now and I wanted to leave the Il's place early and get home. I am not very good at going in the evening- too much going on usually but will see.
funny about the nose I typically give pumpkin or sweet potato to Pip every night haven't noticed it! carrots isn't as regular though.
I alternate between veges and fruit for her lunch as she has fruit and farex/ raffertys mutligrain mix for brekky and veges for dinner. no meat as yet but might try chicken next week.
got a heap of pumpkin and sweet potato frozen, but need some other veges to go with so will do some shopping later today. MOS Pip tried banana again this week and liked it this time around. Pip is not really interested in feeding herself though- give her the mesh thing and she will suck only if I am holding it (not likely) and have given her some fruit and she just plays with it.
anyway better think about going shopping while she is awake!
Had my Nuchal scan today. I'm 13 weeks 3 days & bub is measuring correct for dates. The cheeky monkey wouldn't sit still & kept flipping over & waving it's arms & legs everywhere. It was very cute to watch.
Here's a pic.
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk174/kotakai_chais/13weeks.jpg
I hope Chais goes back to sleeping well. Since his tooth came through & I think more are due to break through, he wakes around 3 ish & then stirs & cries every hour until 6!
It's so hot here I'm taking the kids to the pool.

I know what you mean. I still get comments from people about how we must be crazy to have another one so soon.
awww ultrasound pics are always soo amazing. I love them. Especially the 3D.
I dont think its crazy to be pregnant again, but I cant imagine what it would be like to be 3 months pregnant right now.. I mean, wow..
I comment mums who are it must be hard work!
Anyways, heres some pics.

Awww, brings back memories seeing those ultrasounds again. It is so exciting, that time. Seeing bub for the first time, then later finding out the sex. Are you guys finding out? DH and I have been talking about names for "the next one" as we had an awful time agreeing on a name for Nicklas. I like names, he likes names, NONE of them are the same. I don't know what we're going to do. I'm stopping BC in February. I don't think we'll be actively trying right away...just leaving it up to fate like we did last time. See what happens. I think I'd like to not find out the sex with the next bub. Something about the first one...I wanted to be so organized. I think next time I'd like to be surprised. Not that there aren't enough surprises with childbirth already...I say that now, but I'm sure once I'm pregnant I'll be dying to know! We were going to wait longer for #2 but are now thinking the sooner we have the second, the sooner I can go back to work and the sooner we can afford a house. So we'll see.
Nick has (.)(.) breakfast at 6:30 and we walk with DH at 7:15. Then solids when we get home, usually apple and pear but this week banana and mango which he loves. Then 11 milk, 12 veggies, 3 pm milk and then veggies at 4 and then 6:30 milk. That is if he's sleeping when he's supposed to. Sometimes he only has 2 solids at 12 then 4.
:goodvibes: for Summer's first day of CC tomorrow K8Y.
hi all!
A bit slack with personals today as i am just sooo tired - Liam kept us awake last night and then he was up at 5am to start the day.
Re: TTC - good luck MOS! Sometimes I would love another one, but in the middle of the night Im not so sure! I cannot remember much about Liams birth at all as I hadnt slept for 2 days and was chock full of drugs and then he was whisked away to SCN, I feel a bit robbed of the experience:crying: But I dont know if/when we will TTC again, as our ages are against us now, AF has run away with my libido, and Liam was an IVF baby. Part of me doesnt want him to be an only child either - Im an only child and it never bothered me as a kid, but now my Dad has some health issues and Im feeling pressure and responsibility - not from him but from myself to make sure hes ok as Im the only one to look after him etc etc.........right, ENOUGH of that:)
Re: solids. I generally give Liam milk feeds for breakfast although we are starting baby mueslis and he loves them - the Just Organic brand, farex and fruit for lunch, currently the fruit is banana, apple, and peaches. I couldnt find any pears in the supermarket last week:eek::confused: And dinner is vegies with some more farex to thicken it up. And the vegies this week are pumpkin, potato, carrot, swede, and parsnip. Im not sure how to prepare meat so we sometimes give a tin of Heinz baby food with the beef or chicken in it. Any snacks are BM - and thats probably why AF hasnt returned here
Gotta dash - have a small window of time to get a heap of things done while Liam is asleep. Take care everyone:flowerz:
Awww, brings back memories seeing those ultrasounds again. It is so exciting, that time. Seeing bub for the first time, then later finding out the sex. Are you guys finding out? DH and I have been talking about names for "the next one" as we had an awful time agreeing on a name for Nicklas. I like names, he likes names, NONE of them are the same. I don't know what we're going to do. I'm stopping BC in February. I don't think we'll be actively trying right away...just leaving it up to fate like we did last time. See what happens. I think I'd like to not find out the sex with the next bub. Something about the first one...I wanted to be so organized. I think next time I'd like to be surprised.

Babywez, congrats on making that decision. You'll start to get the "you're NUTS!" comments soon too then! :D
k8y, best of luck tomorrow. I hope Summer's OK and takes a bottle, etc. Please let us know how it goes. :hugs:
stg, congrats on the puppy. So she has a little brother around the house too then? How sweet. I love those little dogs too - very cute!
Kyles, the friends of ours we just went away with have a baby 1 month younger than Sam and she was an IVF baby. Their first is also IVF. The first took them 6 attempts but the second happened second go. They're trying again this year. They say they're happy with the two they've got but don't want their remaining 4 embryos to be donated to research... so they'll keep on using them until they're gone. It's amazing how far technology's come. Imagine how many babies wouldn't be here without it?

Ooh, forgot to add, those who have me on FB, please don't mention TTC as we are not telling a single soul IRL. We've brought it up with people and the general consensus is that we're NUTS, and we dont know how long it will take so we're not telling anyone. I'm so glad I have you guys, as I think I'd explode!
No problem :D........Im still in two minds whether I or that should be WE want more kids but I dont want other peoples opinions about it! :rolleyes:
Had my Nuchal scan today. I'm 13 weeks 3 days & bub is measuring correct for dates. The cheeky monkey wouldn't sit still & kept flipping over & waving it's arms & legs everywhere. It was very cute to watch.
Here's a pic.
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk174/kotakai_chais/13weeks.jpg
I hope Chais goes back to sleeping well. Since his tooth came through & I think more are due to break through, he wakes around 3 ish & then stirs & cries every hour until 6!
It's so hot here I'm taking the kids to the pool.
I know what you mean. I still get comments from people about how we must be crazy to have another one so soon.
nawwwwwwwwwww gorgeous......How exciting!!!!!:goodvibes:
awww ultrasound pics are always soo amazing. I love them. Especially the 3D.
I dont think its crazy to be pregnant again, but I cant imagine what it would be like to be 3 months pregnant right now.. I mean, wow..
I comment mums who are it must be hard work!
Anyways, heres some pics.
The first is her sprawled out asleep

Casey bit grizzly this arvo/evening I think hes still sleeping now we will wake him for a shower & bottle,has been off his food today,dont think he likes this batch of food:confused: doing beef tomorrow instead of chicken with veges.
I can hear Jake chatting away to himself in bed:rolleyes:
overtired.....
Not much else happening,I cant believe Casey is crawling,he is so active looking at everything,gets from one side of the room to the other,whether that be by rolling/crawling.
Maybe top teeth moving around? see how he sleeps tonight.
Im babysitting my G/friends two daughters tomorrow only for 2hours,one is Jake's age & the other is 6months old.....so it will be like having 2 sets of twins! :laughing: Oh & I have my sister here she is 10!
Ok girls best make a move......things to do!
:wave:
Yeah, good luck k8y for tomorrow. I'm sure she'll do great :goodvibes:
Seeing bub for the first time, then later finding out the sex. Are you guys finding out?
Yes, I'll def be finding out the sex, as long as the bub co operates at the scan :laughing:
I totally hear you on the names too. I like 'different' names & DF likes more normal ones, so it's very hard. We're not even talking names now until we find out the sex cause every name I suggest gets a big NO :laughing:
Just wondering about you's guys bubs AMOUNTS of food they have. seems like charlotte has sooo much now.Like cant recall in cups how much it is, but like 125ml containers, she has a whole one for dinner, then now could probably go another 125 ml again. I have no idea whats a normal serving size

I've just had a look at Sam's bowl next to a bottle and I'd say has about 125ml too. It's about 4-5 tablespoons as I said earlier but that's roughly 125mls. The way I see it, if they're eating it, then there's not too much and if they're whinging for more, I give more. Sometimes he doesn't finish it all so I'm happy with that amount.
I've just added video of Sam from this morning. When I show him his water bottle, his arms and legs goes nuts and he makes "ooooh-ooooh" noises - very funny!

Good night all. :wave:
Thank you so much everyone re CC for Summer tomorrow. TBH I've just felt sick about it all day. She won't take a bottle and TBH the past few days we haven't even tried. I'm hoping the ladies at CC might be able to help instead. Regardless I don't think I'll be leaving her there, just spend some time, see how they go with her on the bottle etc. I'm just exhausted from the worry of it :(
Dentist this afternoon, got my 3 fillings. It wasn't too bad, just the needles (3 for each tooth), the bottom jaw one hurt the most like it was going into the bone. Anyway, it's done now so one less thing to worry about really.
BB yay for Casey crawling :yelclap:
kotakai gorgeous little 13 week monkey in your tummy. How exciting :cloud9:
MOS I make the potato in the bebedelice. Just steam it and add ALL the water and it pureed perfectly, nice and creamy.
Did you IL's decide when they're coming back?
stg how cute re your dog, can't wait to see a pic of little bessy. I made broccoli (sp? brain fade) the other night, pureed it and it froze fine? I have just been using the ice cube trays ATM and popping them out into a glad bag.
Summer has only just now started to get into the swing of her dinner solids, so today I started her on breakfast. She had farex and pears (because no poo now for 3 days) and she loved it. Ate it all. Was so pleased with her. Love her so much. Oh gosh I'm getting mushy because I'm taking her to CC tomorrow lol (and my teeth are seriously starting to hurt now the locals are wearing off....).
I know I've missed more personals.. Sorry.. I'm a bit tired and sore teeth and legs (did run on treadie this morning).
Summer has her 6 month vaccs on Wednesday.
Re weetbix, is it just normal weeties you give? or is there a baby one? or is the organic weetbix the best?
I've been reading annabel karmel's purees and she says peaches and strawberries are great too so want to vary her fruit on her cereal in mornings.
I'm going to do some chicken up tomorrow too from her book and mix it with corn.
With zucchini, you don't peel it right, just steam and puree skin and all? skin would be the most nutritous I imagine.

k8y, I too did the broccoli and it turned out fine. Froze well and I've been doing it for about 2 weeks now.
Thanks for the tips with the potatoes but I did that. I ended up using ALL of the steam water collected in that green bowl but it was still gluggy so I added some boiled water from the kettle but it just got worse... Did you soak the potatoes first or do only half of that container load maybe?
And yes, I'd like to know about the skin on the zucchini too. Anyone?
And not sure when the IL's are coming back BUT the FIL sent the niece for his phone charger today as he dad is going back up there tonight... so they wouldn't need the charger if they were coming back tomorrow... I'm hoping! :D

:wave: ladies!
RE; The zucchini - yep steam it skin and all. All the good stuff is in the skin! It blends well when soft :)
RE: the potato - MOS I had the same problem as you. I use warm cow's milk to make mashed potato for me and DP, so perhaps if you mashed it with some EBM? That would be my suggestion. Good luck!
Kotakai - WOW! Congratulations. It is so exciting to see an ultrasound photo again! And it's a lovely clear shot.
All this talk of pregnancy and TTC is a little dangerous!! Don't tempt me, ladies!
Well, as the rest of you NSWelshladies probably realise it is HOT HOT HOT here atm. DS and I went to visit my sister's baby girl in the hospital then came home for a swim. She is doing O.K. They think that on top of the heart murmur and the UTI she may be lactose intolerant! Although it would be kind of good if she was because at least then we would know why she has had such bad gastro as well as the other stuff. Poor little thing. She looks totally fine though and is in good spirits! Hopefully she will be able to come home tomorrow or the next day :)
Tomorrow is going to be even hotter so my other sister is bringing her kids around for a swim in Mum's pool. Hooray for the pool, that's all I can say! Elliot loves it, bless him, although I tried to keep him in a bit longer than I should have today when he started to grizzle cause it was just soooo nice and I didn't want to get out!
I am struggling a little housesitting for Mum. She has a million plants outside (takes about an hour and a half to water them all) and 4 dogs (2 are inside, 2 are outside), so it's all a bit hectic. The inside dogs play up a lot as well when M&D aren't here because they get bored, so I keep finding things pulled out of the bin and ripped up all over the house, or bits of bark and sticks all chewed up everywhere. They are into EVERYTHING. One even managed to get a box of anti-depressants out of a CLOSED bag and chew the packet up. Luckily she didn't swallow any, but I had my vet friend on the phone within about a minute freaking out that I had killed Mum's dog! Am feeling a little frustrated that DP isn't doing more to help keep the house tidy, but it's hot and he's tired so I don't want to harp on at him. Still got two loads of washing to hang out before I go to bed. Over it!
I made this pasta bake tuna thing for dinner. It's HUUUUGE cause I thought we can all eat it tomorrow, and it's only just finished cooking. Tried to eat some and it is :barf:
What a waste! The eggs didn't bind properly or something so it's like pasta bake and scrambled eggs mixed together. :barf:
I have a question for everyone. When you got pregnant, was it unplanned or planned? If it was planned, how long did it take for you to get pregnant? If it was unplanned, how did it happen?
Just out of curiosity, really!
DS was unplanned. The only condoms we had were in the car and in the 'heat of the moment' we couldn't be bothered going outside to get them. My periods are really irregular and I'd had one almost 4 weeks before, so I didn't think there would be high chance that I was O. How wrong we were!
Also, DS and I up til that point had only DTD without protection once before, and that time I had fallen pregnant as well (had a m/c, though.) Weird, huh?
And.. I forgot what else I was going to say. Hm.
:wave: ladies!

Nick wasn't planned but he wasn't unplanned either. I had gone off bc and we figured we'd "see what happens". A year and a half I got pregnant. Funny enough, I got pregnant the weekend after my last day of my job. I always figured I was so stressed that my body wasn't a good place for a baby to be growing, and I think my body (or the universe?) knew that.
Maybe you're highly fertile :) I'd keep those condoms close by if you don't want another yet ;)
The dinner sounds gross :( Sorry you wasted all that time and effort. I made stirfry with noodles the other night and the noodles were disgusting. Dont' know if they were under or over cooked. Hate that! And good luck with the dogs!
According to Wii Fit this am, down .8 kgs since "last time" which was 2 weeks ago. I guess -.8kg over Christmas and New Year is ok. 7kg to go to my first goal.

:wave:Good morning...........
Im so OVER my sore back it seems only to be sore after I fall asleep @ night(during the night & when I wake in the morning),I have changed my pillow, mattress is new & a good one,it was so sore last night it woke me up,like when I change sides or sleep on my back it hurts,maybe I get into these funny positions when I sleep I dont know,its still a bit sore now when I tilt it back(ifykwim) but usually its fine when Im up moving its been like this for months:rolleyes:I thought it was just the pillow now thats changed I dont know:confused:
Im going to ring the chiro today see if I can get in tomorrow.
Casey slept through,he prob didn't fall asleep till after 9pm he was in his cot talking to himself went down usual time but had a very late arvo nap,he woke @ 5am this morn then went back down @ 7am and is asleep now,its so hard this way as now he should be having B/fast( I know there's no rule book) but I usually have to go out late morning & its all a bit out of whack......
So im tired already:sleeping:

Morning girls,
K8y - HUGE :hugs: for Summer's first day at CC today. I think just hanging out there with her for the first day is a good idea - have a play with her so she can get familiar with it. Maybe next time hang around for a bit, then disappear out of sight for a while once she's happily playing? Just try really hard to keep a relaxed happy feeling happening, because she won't feel safe if you don't seem to :kiss:. She and you will be fine babe.
MOS - very cute video clip, lol. Khirra stopped playing to check out where the noise was coming from... think she thought Sam was a bit of a spunk ;) Oh, and maybe with the potatoes, it was the actual potato you were using?? You know how some are more starchy than others, and some more appropriate for mashing or chipping or whatever? Maybe try a different type?
Babywes - yay for the weightloss! I hopped on Mum's Wii Fit the other day, and it said my BMI was 22.4 (179cm/71kgs) so I was happy enough with that, lol... said I should loose 1.4kg. I'd like to loose about 5kg, but we'll see... might just wait til after the next bub..... that's a lazy attitude isn't it :laughing:
Lambkin - DD wasn't planned. Although we'd been talking about kids for a while. I was on the Pill, but had been on a course of antibiotics for a while, and well, apparently it's true that they can interfer with the Pill. Hehe. DP however, was very happy with himself that his guys 'got one past the keeper'. LOL. Men :rolleyes:
BB - Sorry for the sore back hun. Just nothing worse, is there? I hope you can get into the Chiro today!
And Kotakai - oh my gosh you little bubba is just perfect! :cloud9: Sooo adorable. It's just so, so amazing that by that stage they are tiny little people. Blows me away everytime. Just gorgeous!

Also, DS and I up til that point had only DTD without protection once before, and that time I had fallen pregnant as well (had a m/c, though.) Weird, huh?
Well DH and I both wanted a baby soon but we had the house to sell, etc so we decided I'd go off the pill and we'd let nature take it's course. I however jumped him every day for about a week each month :D. First month nothing happened but then I had to get wisdom tooth surgically removed, so we tried NOT to fall PG for the next 2 months. Got wisdom tooth out early Sept and fell mid Sept. So I'd say the first month was a right off and then we fell pretty much straight away. It was a bit of a shock though because we had all of these things we needed to sort out and we kind of expected it to take a while... but it didn't!
According to Wii Fit this am, down .8 kgs since "last time" which was 2 weeks ago. I guess -.8kg over Christmas and New Year is ok. 7kg to go to my first goal.
A .8 loss is GREAT for Christmas! Well done. :yelclap:
Lambkin, what a great question. I can't wait to hear some other responses. And yes, you must be highly fertile... wierd that your Dr would tell you that you'd have trouble falling??? Shows what HE knows! :rolleyes:
More things to get done today so will be off now. Got to take down Chrissy tree and return Sam's sleeping bag. I've used it while I was on holidays but realised the first night we got there that there were 3 press studs missing along the bottom. Like they weren't even sewn in to begin with! I hope it's OK to swap it since I've used it. But it was the only one I packed for our holiday...
Sam ready for brekky, must go. :wave:
Hi All
Hope everyone is well. Now to remember everyone's news.
K8y, Im sure Summer will be OK at CC, its amazing how they can behave differently for other people.
STG, a new puppy! I loves dogs. Hope she isnt too naughty for you. BTW, the Dell laptops are very good and really good value for money. If you buy one with Vista, make sure it has at least 2 MB of memory for Vista to run happily.
MOS - congrats re TTC and the vids and pics are lovely (so are everyone elses BTW).
Lambkin - hope your parents dogs behave, you must be going nuts.
BB - hope you get your back sorted out soon.
Re the TTC, we started back in April 06, and fell pregnant in Sept 07, so took us 18 months. I was at the stage, literally if it didnt happen that month, we were going to give up, as emotionally I was so over it.
Well the outlaws left yesterday thank god. I hope I never see her again, she is the most rude and demanding person Ive ever met.

Just a quickie from me as I'm at work.
MOS - forgot to say to put the potatoes through a sieve after you've mashed them.
k8Y massive hugs to you today - I know how hard it is leaving them and I'm lucky that my little one is left with her daddy.
Lambkin - I came off the pill in the January so it took about 8 months. I was quite relaxed about the whole thing and wasn't waiting every month to see what would happen.
DD is loving her solids - she had weetbix for brekkie (half a one), mid arvo is lunch - so chicken or mince and two vegies, then she had natural yogurt with heaps of paw paw mixed in. She also has an organic apple and cinnamon cereal or farex and apple and pear for brekkie, or avocado or banana. She has 4 bottles of 180ml - the thing is now to move the arvo feed to lunch time etc etc...
Aghhh the ol backspace deletion of big rambling post:hair:
:hugs:K8y..hope it's going well today
MOS I mash in extra water from kettle. Though a little bit of cows milk is meant o be ok , or yoghurt. Though G eats it just mashed..he just puses lumps out. He eats anything I give him so far. Not as keen on Banana perhaps. But LOVES nectarines... eats them if I hold it for him and pel the skin back. He also loves to have ago at watermelon and pears but gets big chinks off and gags/coughs...and I dont like it. I know its meant o be fine, naures way of teatvhing them to brign the food forward and expelling it etc...but I dont like it...so am vosing to stick to mesh bag a little longer:o
He still only has two meals a day. Mostly because Im unorganised... doesnt seem enough time in the day. But als as he doesnt alwas eat all of whats given..but lat two days has....so maybe its time. Usualy has babyrice for breaky with fruit in mesh after. And vegies.. any compbo of potate/ carrot/ pumpkin/ corn/ broccoli/ coliflower so far. I have do the separate freezing thing too..and mi anf match, though also try to ccok at least part of his meal fresh on the day..
BB my back is similar.. I was blaming pregancy hormones lingering due to BF... coupled with sitting alot (playing on floor, computer, BF) compared to on my feet 8-12hrs a day. Just reorganising private health then going to book appt too. I used up all my cover for such things last year when preggers..so trying to up it for this year.
As for conception
:goodvibes:Gabriel was meant to be:goodvibes: is all I can say.
Does everyone else still get that urge to suddenly go check on them. It might be an hour or two since theyve been asleep and I suddenly realise I havent made sure he was ok or sometimes I wake in teh middle ofthenight.. lay there thinking...hmm did I leave anything hanging on the cot that he could get round hi neck..did I move his teddies far enough away... It's horrid... I HAVE to go check on him. Often in the day, if I go check Im sure he feels my presence as he then wakes, even though I just quickly look fromround the door. Maybe its the nurse in me thats seen/heard too many horror stories.:rolleyes:
Well Summer did fine apart from the bottle. We stayed there from 9am till 12pm. She played, she slept ok (though only 1/2 hour as opened her eyes and realised in a strange place), Ruth tried the bottle and she chewed it, pushed it around etc. They said it was a start but they're so lovely and told me not to worry as it will all work out and she'll have the bottle.
Thursday am going to drop her off and they're going to try for half day, so I'll feed her drop her off, she'll play and sleep, then they'll try again when she wakes up and then I'll come get her. They told me too just to perservere each time I feed her.
MOS am trying to remember what I did re the potatoes, I think I added more water and cooked them for longer when the bebedelice beeped and I just used the normal brown potatoes.
When she's asleep will make some chicken puree, strawberry puree and maybe some zucchini.
c38 I am the same. Always checking on her. I have to admit she's still in our room. I am going to start her off in her cot in the next week. I just love it too much laying in bed and being able to see her and YES I just pop my head around the door too and her sixth sense seems to pick it up and she wakes up even though I've made no sound :rolleyes:
BB glad your seeing a chiro. Was going to suggest it. Let us know how it goes.
Hmmm we fell preggy with Summer after trying for 2 weeks :eek: we gave ourselves 6 months so it was quite a shock!
What a pain lambkin to go to all that trouble and it wasn't edible :rolleyes:
Relax for rest of today apart from making purees, then tomorrow is vaccination day..... Thursday CC again, then chiro Saturday. Am going to see Twilight at the movies with a friend on Wednesday evening because we both just read the book and it was amazing, couldn't put it down. So another huge popcorn for me. Have to save up some points for it.
c38 I've found if you hit the forward button on your web browser it brings your post back when you hit the backspace and you lose it.
Congrats k8y on a successful day. Your post seemed very positive and it sounds like things went well. They are nice to be reassuring you that it WILL work out. It's great that you're not returning to work now. Could you imagine going through this without being able to stay with her and do things gradually? It's good that you have a bit of a transitional phase. Well done.
Today was good for me too. Got lots of washing done, washed Roxy's beds... yes, she has TWO. :rolleyes: Went and excanged the sleeping bag with the missing press studs along the bottom. Lucky too as there was only one left and it was the right size. I even managed to walk in with blinkers on and only go between the counter, the sleeping bag and back out te door again without spending a cent!
I also got some fish for dinner (we're trying to have it once a week) and some chinese cabbage and Chang's noodles. Has anyone else had that salad that's on the back of the packet of noodles? It's soooo yummy! It's just Chinese cabbage, the Chang's noodles, pine nuts or slivered almonds with a sauce made from sesame oil, olive oil, soy sauce and some caster sugar. It's YUMMO! :D So we're having that tonight... we both love the salad so we'l probably eat the whole thing. I hope so because it's massive! Just done a load of ironing too and taken the decs off the tree, just waiting for DH to come home so I can pack away his mum's stuff (lights and some decs the nieces made) as the bag it goes into is too high for me. Also waiting for Sam to wake up before I make his apple and pear puree as it will probably wake him up so will leave that until a little later. Just got a text from DH saying he's working back today so he won't be home until later.
Sitting down having a cup of coffee now... aaaahhhh I wish I could do this in peace every day.
My New Year's resolution is to be less b!tchy and nicer to my IL's. I've been rather grumpy A LOT (not sure if due to pill, no AF back yet or just be being a b!tch)... and I don't want to be like that anymore.
Also, I've kind of resigned myself to thinking I'll be here (with the IL's) for a while still. The thing is that if we move out then I have to go back to work. I'd much rather have time with Sam, another baby and a house later rather than struggling. If we stay here now, it may be the difference between me working again or not. I told DH the other day that I'm retired. :laughing: He was fine with that as long as we stay here until his wage can support us... so be it! I've had time to prioritse and spending time with Sam and making more babies is my biggest priority right now.
Just spoke to my friend who makes plans asd sends me an SMS to cancel last minute. We've made plans for dinner at her place Sat night. She's a vego so I said we'd take steaks and enough for her non-vego hubby too. So any bets on whether we actually GET there or not? I did say to her "are you SURE you're not busy?" and she was sure..... we'll see. :rolleyes:
I wonder how long it will take me to lose my new-found sense of happiness... am I just OK with staying here for a while longer because the IL's aren't here??? I wonder... Only time will tell!
I've found myself looking at PG women and wishing.... oh boy. I hope AF rears her ugly head again soon! You'd think Sam sleeping through from 8pm until 4 or 5am would bring them back! I'm off to search the rest of the forum to find out if anyone's BF whilst PG. I know there's a chance the hormones might put Sam off my milk and I so don't want that but does anyone have any ideas how likely that is? I mean is it a "rare chance" or "liklihood"...? That would be sad.... especially since I don't like the thought of switching to formula. :cool: I know I may be worrying for nothing though too... we'll see. :fingerscrossed:

MOS hang in there hun....you will be UTD no time :D..........enjoy Sam :yes: .......my Mum & SIL fell preg whilst B/F but they were on the mini pill dont know if my SIL got her AF though? she is pregnant with no 4....B/F each time when she fell pregnant,dont even know if shes had her AF much at all,I will check for you.:p
Hi all,
k8y glad today went well hopefully it will continue that way for you.
kotakai wow what a clear shot for your u/s congrats....glad it is going well for you.
stg bessy is a cute name for a little dog and the photos are great.
MOS- Sam loves his water!!
BB hope your back os better soon
Tiggles- glad the Ils are gone!!
sorry if I have forgotten anything else.
hot here actually have the air con going-been at a friends for a swim and Pip tried her yoghurt that she makes at home it was really tart but she gobbled it up...think I will get a yoghurt maker as I like the idea and knowing what is in it and not having it too sweet.
about TTC I went off the pill, had AF and then fell preggers some time in September so not long at all, we decided when we found out DH was getting a promotion thinking it would take a while (getting preggers) as it happened he got his captaincy only 5 days before she was due!!
poor thing just did another poo and it is bothering her?? not constipated just solid:(
Afternoon all!!
We actually slept in till 8:30am this morning were up twice through out the night but it ws nice to get that little bit of extra sleep in. im def going to struggle when school goes back. I think she will still be in my room for a while, i didnt get to her in time last night and "woke" up and thought it was play time.we were up for about an hr.
K8y - Glad it was a good day. its really good that you dont have to go back to work straight away. Im sure she will take the bottle in no time. You would be amazed how different they are in a childcare setting.
HHMMM well our children were unplanned. Its funny tho, When i was with my first BF we were together for 5yrs and he had a daughter and we tried but nothing happened. first BF after him fell preg straight away (little did i know he had a GF). With Kara it was a heat of the moment time we had bought some condoms but they were at his house and we were at mine. I was also on the pill but i didnt think it was working and the docs didnt seem to want to listen.
We would like one more, but we not sure wether to "try" or just see what happens. Dont want to stress out about it.
Kara eats 2 weetbix for brekkie, mixed with a whole banana and water. I thought it was to much but after talking to a friend and her 6mth old was eating 3at a time (and eating 5 at 12mths) so i dont feel so bad now, plus she eats it all and is satisfied.
hi all!
K8y - Glad today went ok for you and Summer, have been thinking of you:)
MOS -sounds like youre in a good place right now emotionally etc. I really like that Changs noodle salad too, but cant eat too much, it gives me a tummy ache - must be the cabbage!
Kotakai - meant to say I love the u/s pics! Really clear, and got me all wistful and longing again!
Re: TTC, we tried for around 15months before going to the doctor for the tests.
I also forgot to say thanks to everyone regarding the baby hats. I agree Myers do have the most gorgeous ones Ive seen at a reasonable price, but they are all too big. So after mothers group tomorrow am taking Liam to Pumpkin Patch to try the denim caps.
Well, today was a bit of a waste of a day. Too hot to domuch, Liam cranky with the heat, me and DH also cranky with the heat:rolleyes: DH on holidays atm for 4 weeks which is great. He and Liam play non-stop, its a bit of an exclusive boys club, Im only called on when its time for a feed:laughing:
Will probably be back on later, as per usual theres nothing on TV tonight. Take care all:flowerz:

Hey ladies,
DD is crashed out and DP is out in the yard fiddling with something, so I'm enjoying a glass of Shiraz.... contemplating cooking dinner, but it hasn't happened yet, lol.
K8y - so glad Summer's first day was a good one. And that you like the carers - makes all the difference. It will all work out :hugs: At least you can relax a little now!
Tiggles - Glad to hear the MIL is out of your hair! Mine comes tomorrow... am dreading it already. lol. They want us to drive up to Tin Can Bay for the day on Thurs... it's almost a 3hour drive.... a little rediculous to drive a baby for 6 hours just for the day, I think, but I guess we should make the effort, seeing they don't get to see her often. Ugh.
C38 - I'm a bit the same. I get the guilts if I don't go check on her. :o
MOS - I agree with BB - just relax with it all hun - what will be, will be :hugs:
OConky - Khirra loves natural yoghurt too... makes me screw my face up, but it's one of the only foods she really gobbles down.
Flick- yeah, Kara sounds like she's eating the 'normal' amount... same as my friends bubs, who are round the same age as ours. Khirra really only eats about 2 tablespoons a meal, but she's always been a small eater... more of a snacker, really.
Kyles - Don't know if you have the shop where you are, but we have a shop up here called Wizz Kids. They have some great, reasonably priced hats. Khirra has a pinhead, and it was the only place I could find with a hat to fit her... apart from her newborn PP hat :thumbsup:
Anyway, better get tea on...

ems84 that RED sounds devine:D
Well Casey is on the move.....:smiliedance:time for the playpen to come downstairs....I turn around & hes in a different room:yes:
I enjoyed looking after my friends two girls today just gorgeous:cloud9:
Better dash casey's bath time:wave:
R
k8y, I too did the broccoli and it turned out fine. Froze well and I've been doing it for about 2 weeks now.
Thanks for the tips with the potatoes but I did that. I ended up using ALL of the steam water collected in that green bowl but it was still gluggy so I added some boiled water from the kettle but it just got worse... Did you soak the potatoes first or do only half of that container load maybe?
ive never frozen potato alone.. i mix it..
I have a question for everyone. When you got pregnant, was it unplanned or planned?
not.. planned.. but no birth control.
If that makes sense.. I know. bad of me considering the father.
STG, a new puppy! I loves dogs. Hope she isnt too naughty for you. BTW, the Dell laptops are very good and really good value for money. If you buy one with Vista, make sure it has at least 2 MB of memory for Vista to run happily.
Yeah im just after an asus. decent hard drive, vista premium with 2gb ram.
and the puppys micheivious. lol
Well Summer did fine apart from the bottle. We stayed there from 9am till 12pm. She played, she slept ok (though only 1/2 hour as opened her eyes and realised in a strange place), Ruth tried the bottle and she chewed it, pushed it around etc. They said it was a start but they're so lovely and told me not to worry as it will all work out and she'll have the bottle.
Thursday am going to drop her off and they're going to try for half day, so I'll feed her drop her off, she'll play and sleep, then they'll try again when she wakes up and then I'll come get her. They told me too just to perservere each time I feed her.
Hmmm we fell preggy with Summer after trying for 2 weeks. we gave ourselves 6 months so it was quite a shock!
2 weeks?! Wow! Glad things were ok at CC today. I'm sure it will get easier...I hope it does anyway! We stopped by a cc centre the other day to take a look and get some info but no one was at reception. Will have to remember to call them this week. I think we're going to try and get him in a couple of days when we get back from the States in July.
Just saw a pic of your new car on FB. Looks fab! How do you like it?
Also, I've kind of resigned myself to thinking I'll be here (with the IL's) for a while still. The thing is that if we move out then I have to go back to work. I'd much rather have time with Sam, another baby and a house later rather than struggling. If we stay here now, it may be the difference between me working again or not.

I know there are trying times with your ILs but once you are in your house with your hubby and gorgeous kids, you'll realise it was all worth every second! :yes:
Hey ladies,
DD is crashed out and DP is out in the yard fiddling with something, so I'm enjoying a glass of Shiraz.... contemplating cooking dinner, but it hasn't happened yet, lol.
I've left DH to fend for himself with left overs tonight. Its so hot I hardly even feel hungry. A glass of wine doesn't sound too bad though. :yes:
Better get going. I've gotten some complaints the last couple of nights about how m uch time I spend on BH and FB :( I am sure he thinks I sit on here all day long while he's at work, then all night when he's home. That's not entirely true!! ;) He's been very patient when it comes to not DTD, but I think his patience is running thin. I still have absolutely no interest, and don't know how to change that. Any suggestions? :confused:
One last thing! Check out these cards I found online! I think they're fab! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13959396. There's all kinds of personalised ones you can order!
MOS your noodles sound lovely. :fingerscrossed: your AF returns soon.
oconky maybe try giving pip some pears? are they more solid then usual - like def constipated? Have you been feeding her anything different lately?
Oh dear Summer just woke up. Have to come back and finish my post later :rolleyes:
flick gosh we sleep in till 7.30am-8.30am most mornings and I still feel tired lol. Sums usually wakes at 5am for a feed and then she's straight back to bed. I really should get to bed earlier but I do chores or have some personal quiet time or time with DP.
Speaking of chores, I NEVER seem to get on top of them. Washing always piles up, the folding too, always tidying her room, packing nappy bags, making purees etc :rolleyes: am I just not superwoman or does everyone else struggle too? and I want 3 kidlets lol
Kyles thats lovely of you to think of us today :goodvibes: and yes tv is dreadful atm. Luckily nothing on tonight forced me to fold the washing instead...... DP on hols too but back next week. It's great getting more free time :thumbsup:
ems Sums is a small eater too like Khirra. Still doesn't eat much but she is more eager for it then she used to be. She is also a pinhead lol...
BB ems wine does sound nice but am out of points today :geek:
Speaking of playpens anyone know what ones are best and where they got one from?
My friend was saying the other day that once they're on the move thats when the weight really starts to come off and we need that extra padding now to get prepared for it lol
babywez the car is great. Smaller then my old one so feels zippier, but not as smooth. He drove it home and surprised me with it. Anyway he got it at the auctions for an absolute steal at $10k. It looks nice too, but I'm still holding out for a subaru liberty wagon. One day when we have more money....
Made more purees today, zucchini, peas & corn, apple and cinnamon and chicken.

Off to the chiro this morning....nothing like a good back crack :laughing:havent been since I was preg with Casey & then it was because my S/nerve was killing me.......

Morning,
Hope the chiro helps with your back BB, my Dh goes all the time and swears by them.
MOS your talk about the noodle salad got me thinking to chrissy last year, we had a family get together (dh side) and they had one i absolutely loved it by it made me so sick. I was pregnant at the time and i don't think i've ever felt so terrible on the toilet with a bucket actually i didn't get the bucket in time so it was all over the floor. Which i had to clean as Dh is a sook! Haven't been game enough to try again.
K8y- i too want a subaru, one day. But no more wagons for me, i have one atm and its been great but i would love a sedan.
babywez, we only DTD when i'm feeling ultra guilty and give in. I have no interest whatsoever, my body and mind are so frazzled by night time it's the last thing on my mind.
Both my girls were planned, we decided mid december to try for chaise and i got pregnant chrissy day. Then on Chaise's first birthday we decided to try for another, found out i was pregnant about 2 weeks later. So probably good we're not DTD otherwise i'd probably be UTD.
Well it's my b,day today, of course it feels like a normal day so far. I'm still in my jamies, but thinking i should really go have a shower. I think we're going to leave Lara with my mum and take chaise to the movies for the first time. Should be fun, i love watching Chaise reaction to all the new things in life. It's priceless.
happybirthday candlsmummy!!!! have a lovely time at the movies. I agree, it's so much fun and exciting watching all their new experiences - so much to look forward too.
BB best of luck at the chiro :fingerscrossed: it works for you. I'm always wondering if I should go because am forever clenching my neck and jaw. Trialling meditation to help that too. There is just always so much to do that I just constantly tense myself up.... grr....!!!
Morning,
Kara's got this new thing where she will crawl over to me and bites my toes then laughs at me.
K8y - 7am in this house is a sleep in. Chores, well i can never seem to keep on top of them either. I have a clean house, and im pretty good with the clothes, its just general mess i cant keep up with. Take all the girls toys out and i wouldnt have a prob. but i do have 3 kids most the time.
happybirthday C&Lmummy
happybirthday C&L'sMummy! :smiliedance:
We had the WORST night EVER last night. Sam went down at 8pm as usual... woke around 9pm, then 10pm, then 11pm, then 2am, then 4am, 5am and finally got a small nap until 8:30am. I feel rat-sh!t. I know it was wind as I could hear and feel it bubbling in his tummy as I resorted to feeding him to calm him a few times. But he just wouldn't burp. NO burps at all and he was arching his back and doing that pain cry I hate so much. :crying: He did a few ripper farts this morning though so maybe it had something to do with the truck load of cabbage I ate last night... :rolleyes: Won't be doing THAT again!
The IL's get back today... so I've cleaned the house and it's all looking wonderful and spotless. I've got washing on now. Am washing one of the doilies from in the lounge room (you should SEE this place! - FULL of doilies!:D)... ummm... not much on today except have to get a money order for $17.55 to send to QLD trasport. I asked my sister or mum to go and pay it to my name as it would be quicker that way but neither have done it and it's been a month. Would have been easier to mail in the first place... You actually have to PAY for proof of a clean driving record! Gggrrrr....
Well best be off, little one grumbling again. I think he SHOULD be tired given last night's efforts.
happybirthday C&LsM.
:hugs: MOS for the awful night. I thought Nick getting up at 11, 3:30 and 4:30 was bad. I tried to keep him quiet until 5:15 when DH got up and took him so I could get some more sleep, but he was cranky and making weird noises so my sleep was on and off. He's napping now though.
Found out yesterday from dad that my sister (the one I don't talk to) is supposedly getting married in July up on Hamilton. I told him I didn't expect an invite, and he seems to think we'll get one. I said, "Well last year she said there wouldn't be any kids at HER wedding"...this was while I was about 5 months pregnant. So...guess she knows what my RSVP will be!
Oh babywez, that would be nasty of her to invite you and expect you to find a week-long baby sitter. I can understand people not wanting kids at their wedding if that's their preference but your own SISTER'S kids are different. We requested no children for our wedding but it was understood that the nieces and nephews were all invited. We had the reception at a hotel too, so my SIL had her niece (not part of our family) come and sit in a hotel room and watch her kids once it got too late for them.
How nasty if your sister does do that. :banghead: Let us know... It'll be funny to see if her attitue changes once she had kids of her own. Maybe she'll realise how much of a selfish b!tch she's being!
Hey, on another note... going to be gross here but I think maybe the mini pill was affecting my libido. I have also had LOTS of CM these last 3 days... like LOTS. :eek: I pulled out my ovulation tester (little saliva tester thingy) and it appears like I am either just about to O or just finishing O... can't be sure though as I haven't used it in over a year, so can't remember what it's all supposed to look like, etc. I'll get more familiar with it if I check it each morning, then I'll have more to compare it to. I'll keep you posted though... :fingerscrossed:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY C&Lmummy!!!!
Have a great day!
We are up by 5.30 each day, as thats when Celeste wakes up for breakky.
I HIGHLY doubt my sister will be having kids, as her ability to put anyone's needs/feelings above her own is completely out of her realm. She has said she doesn't want kids, tho her fiance supposedly does. Really, even if kids were allowed, I think our RSVP would still be the same.
Tiggles, I'd love Nick's breaky time to be 5:30. For some reason he's wide awake every day at 4:30. It is awful!!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes.
MOS- i think i still O also even tho no AF, i get heaps of CM too for a few days every month.
Babywez- your sister sounds awful, to not even want her nephew at her wedding. I hate hearing stories like yours, my sister and i are so close and i love it. I feel really saddened for those who don't have that.

Its ok, I have another one I'm close to :D
K8Y don't worry, you're not the only one who is not superwoman. I have done 3 loads of laundry in the last 2 days b/c we're all running out of things to wear! My downstairs is usually really clean/tidy (kitchen and living room - we're in a townhouse, pretty small) but upstairs...well we don't take guests upstairs :laughing:
I should be showering, but I'm working on my resume for a job I just saw on Seek. It is Mon, Thur and Sat which would be good. Would be better in 6 months when I want to put Nick in CC but am wondering if I should start applying for stuff now, anyway.
Here's a q for you ladies. Would you put anything about being a stay at home mum? Or anything about being a mum? I would question why someone would want a 3-day a week job if I were an employer.
I should be showering, but I'm messing with this instead!

Have you put your name down for any centres?? I only ask because my centre has a 3 page waiting list for the nursery and it might be hard to find a spot when you need it.
Me personally, i would put in being a SAHM, only because i dont like leaving such a big gap between jobs. Plus i work in childcare so being a SAHM is sort of relevant to my career.

I would definitely put being a mum in my resume. As an employer I'd like to know why you were un-employed for so long.... if you don't feel comfortable, just make sure you mention in your cover letter that you were not employed for the past so many months because you had a baby. At least that way you won't look like a bum! :D
babywez def put stuff in about being a SAHM.
Firstly you need to explain the gap between jobs and also, a lot of employers are very flexible for parents and part time jobbers are usually parents who don't want to spend too many days at work away from their littlies. Well I know they used to be in this skill shortage economy just to hire people!
Your sister is probably better off not having kids if she is the way she is, but then again, having a child might change her perception and help her become a better person. Fancy getting married though to someone who may want kids when you don't :confused:
Question:
With the new car, we have to put the car seat in. Am wondering if we should put it in rear facing or forward facing. I am thinking rear facing and booking in for qld ambulance to do it forward facing professionally (they did our rear facing originally) as I want it installed spot on.
Guidelines say 0-6 months and 0-8kg rearfacing....
8-18kg 6mths-4 years forwardfacing....
Summer is 6 1/2 months but she is only 7kg. Should I wait until she is 8kg?? she is getting a bit long to be rearfacing, but she is just so slender.
OK will put in about being a SAHM. Never know how people will react to that these days tho.
Re: CC centres, have not put our names down yet, but there are several in the area, and have planned to check them out this week or next. There's still 6 months before we really want to put him in, and I have checked online, too, and several places claim to have vacancies, so we'll see.
Re: the car seat...DH keeps saying we should turn NIck around. Our seat guidelines say birth-12kgs rearward, 8-18 kgs forward facing. So there's an overlap. I tend to not go by age for anything b/c so many bubs (and ours are proof) are different weights/lengths at the same age. Nick is 8.8 kgs so I'm thinking we'll turn it soon. I wanted to wait until 9kgs but noticed yesterday that he's almost kicking the back of the seat! Plus he's always turning his head around now to look at me in the front, and I'm worried if he's doing that and we get in a wreck, his neck will snap!
I just turned the car seat around, Kara 3weeks ago weighed 8kg and was measured 2days ago and was 72cm long. I just felt she was ready to be turned around. Plus from her size to.

The centres that claim to have vacancies are "usually" for the older rooms as you can fit more children in them and their is usually less demand.
Not sure about the car seat thing. I plan on keeping Sam rear facing as long as possible. It's annoying trying to get him in and out around the straps but it's still doable. When it's time to switch, we're going to put the new Maxi Rider which I won into my car and this one into DH's car. His dad's buying a new car this month so will give his to DH. He's very excited to have his own baby seat in his car, even if he rarely gets to use it. So cute!
Well the IL's are back. All good so far. I mentioned dinner to the MIL and she said she's not sure what she's doing yet... so she must be back up to cooking herself now. I offered to do something and she said "I don't know what to do"... so I'm going to leave it at that. I also asked her if she needed anything from Woolies as I will go a little later and she said she didn't know again... man she's WAY too vague for my liking! But I'm not letting it bug me. As I'm leaving for Woolies, I'll ask her again and then just go.
Man it's HOT!

I put charlottes around ages ago.
My DOCTOR said disregard the weight recommendation and do it when they can sit up/hold themselves up.
So yeah she was about 4.5 - 5 months old when I put it forward facing.
She HATED the car before I did so.
Ive just finished my ""puree morning"
I still dont freeze things separately, but do a few mixed recipes to freeze..
I just dont know how to freeze things alone. Like potato and broccoli.
THese dogs. man. Anyone want a bichon frise for $500 lol.. I have NO time to train it! I have no time to do my ironing let alone closely monitor puppys bathroom habbits
:laughing: stg, the key is to ignor their bad habits and reward their good ones... and take them outdoors or wherever they're supposed to "go" for about 20 mins after a meal. I found the training pads absolutely amazing... so much that we STILL use them. :rolleyes: Can't train her OFF the bl00dy pads now! She won't do her business in public (maybe a little modest!) but it works well for us because she lives in the garage at night and that's where the business is done, so we can at least clean up easily.
We too have a stocked up puree section in our freezer. We have: pear and apple (he won't eat apple alone so I freeze it in with the pear now), carrots, pumpkin, cauliflower & broccoli. He also eats mashed banana and today I put some watermelon in his net thingy and after the initial "you ripped me off" looks he was giving me when he realised it wasn't mango, he loved it!
Speaking of which, he's sleeping today. Just had a nice chat with the MIL... things are going well. If things continue (me making effort), then I will feel more comfortable about staying here a little longer. The other baby also adds further incentive to really try. I want to make it clear though, that's not the reason I want another baby. I love Sam so much I want another one! And I've always said I'd love as many as possible as close together as possible. I'm soooo excited!!!:smiliedance:
stg, what do you mean you don't you know how to freeze separately? You do the same as you have been but use all the same food and freeze it. If it's in small enough portions, then when it comes time to feed them to her, just grab a little combo and defrost them together and mix. Maybe I've misunderstood your question... :confused: Sorry if I have. :o

Morning,
Hope the chiro helps with your back BB, my Dh goes all the time and swears by them.
MOS your talk about the noodle salad got me thinking to chrissy last year, we had a family get together (dh side) and they had one i absolutely loved it by it made me so sick. I was pregnant at the time and i don't think i've ever felt so terrible on the toilet with a bucket actually i didn't get the bucket in time so it was all over the floor. Which i had to clean as Dh is a sook! Haven't been game enough to try again.
K8y- i too want a subaru, one day. But no more wagons for me, i have one atm and its been great but i would love a sedan.
babywez, we only DTD when i'm feeling ultra guilty and give in. I have no interest whatsoever, my body and mind are so frazzled by night time it's the last thing on my mind.
Both my girls were planned, we decided mid december to try for chaise and i got pregnant chrissy day. Then on Chaise's first birthday we decided to try for another, found out i was pregnant about 2 weeks later. So probably good we're not DTD otherwise i'd probably be UTD.
Well it's my b,day today, of course it feels like a normal day so far. I'm still in my jamies, but thinking i should really go have a shower. I think we're going to leave Lara with my mum and take chaise to the movies for the first time. Should be fun, i love watching Chaise reaction to all the new things in life. It's priceless.
happybirthdayHAVE A WONDERFUL DAY

Well I went to the chiro 10mins is all it took cost me $45 :eek: anywho.....he is very good,he said I have a TWISTED PELVIS & that is affecting my spine etc :ecomcity: so therefore I have to go back next mon have xrays to check out how my spine is looking.....more $$$$ but I dont care if he can fix me :D I love it when they crack your back....oh he did my neck haven't had that done before....
I asked if it was because of preg etc,he said I could have had it before? I will ask if it has any bearing on having children naturally as I COULD NOT push my two boys out :no:
Casey is not himself today :( Poo's are very runny,he felt quite warm this morning had the same look as he did when he had that kidney infection(gave panadol)my GP is on holidays so he hasn't asked the paed about whether he should have that other procedure done,I will keep a eye on him if he gets worse(temps etc) will take him to Docs/hospy to check his wee(hmmm not easy)...im just so paranoid now I wouldnt want to miss another UTI....C38 what do you think?
Off food aswell,did eat some Pear.
Jacob is well,being a good boy(hmmmm not going to jinx myself here:p)
What else.............
Casey is F/F car seat but he is a BIG BOY.
BB my osteo told me the same thing about my pelvis and said if it's fixed before I get to full term, then it would make the labour easier. I was surprised and he painted the picture with his plastic pelvis of a baby trying to fit through a twisted pelvis - logically, it's a little more difficult. So yes, it could make a difference!
And for me, mine was fixed by the time I had Sam.. then again fast labours run in the family so not sure if that had anything to do with it...
I hope Casey's OK. Keep us updated. :hugs:
Not sure about the car seat thing. I plan on keeping Sam rear facing as long as possible. It's annoying trying to get him in and out around the straps but it's still doable. When it's time to switch, we're going to put the new Maxi Rider which I won into my car and this one into DH's car. His dad's buying a new car this month so will give his to DH. He's very excited to have his own baby seat in his car, even if he rarely gets to use it. So cute!
Well the IL's are back. All good so far. I mentioned dinner to the MIL and she said she's not sure what she's doing yet... so she must be back up to cooking herself now. I offered to do something and she said "I don't know what to do"... so I'm going to leave it at that. I also asked her if she needed anything from Woolies as I will go a little later and she said she didn't know again... man she's WAY too vague for my liking! But I'm not letting it bug me. As I'm leaving for Woolies, I'll ask her again and then just go.
Man it's HOT!
I was quite annoyed for 5 MONTHS of putting Nick in and out of the car with those bloody straps. Then DH saw a pic of a baby seat anchored by the front passenger seat, and he did that, so no more straps! Its wonderful! But I think we're going to turn him around in the next couple of weeks anyway. We're going out to a farm for Australia Day and DH's work is giving him a car, so we'll have to take it out then, just put it back in the other way when we get home.
Hmmm I'm not sure what you mean by the pain in the bum straps??
We have a convertible car seat and you're suppose to loosen the side strap (takes 1 second) to get them in and out so no straps in the way. Does your side strap have a buckle if that's what you're talking about?
Anyway stg Summer is starting to strain her neck trying to sit up/look around more etc so I don't want to leave turning the seat around too long. I booked in with Qld Ambulance and they are doing it in 3 weeks, so it's rear facing in the new car now. I found after we treated her reflux she was fine in the car. She loves the new car heaps. It has dark tinted windows so it's not too bright for her and great visability out the back for her, plus a tinted sunroof as well. She's very happy in there :yelclap:
MOS have only tried apple in the mesh thing. Will get some new fruit probably tomorrow while Summer is at CC. For purees now am fully stocked and have sweet potato, potato, carrot, peas & corn, broccoli, zucchini, pumpkin, chicken, pears, apple & cinnamon, strawberries and peaches. Going to get DP to get some weetbix 'kids' when he goes shopping as I noticed that one has far less salt then just the normal one. Want to make cauliflower and tomato as well as I think tomato will go lovely with cauliflower or potato etc..
I was reading in Annabel Karmels book that adding a small amount of butter to your carrots before pureeing is more nutritious as it helps them absorb the betacarotene more readily.
Summer had her shots today. Gosh she screamed and went sooo red in the face. She's a sensitive little soul and hates needles just like her mummy lol. Poor poppet, after 10 minutes she was fine.
I love my new car :smiliedance:
I feel a bit less 'mumsy' in it and a bit cooler lol IYKWIM.... as it's nice and dark and zippy :cool:
Pram JUST fits :eek:

Money well spent if it sorts you out BB.
Poor Casey. He doesn't sound too good. If in doubt go to the doctors BB. Trust your instincts. If it is then you'll be glad you went in early, if not, you'll be reassured he is okay. Win/win situation :hugs:
I have about lost my patience this arvo. I've tried everything I know to get him to sleep, and he refuses. I was hoping just now that he was falling asleep on the floor, but he's rolled over and is now screaming again. I put him in his cot and he screamed until he was choking. I think I'm going to just have to let him cry this one out. I don't know what else to do. :hair:
Hi everyone :wave:
happybirthday C&L's mummy -Hope you had a great day & got spoilt!
:hugs: MOS -sorry your night was so bad. Hopefully it was a 1 off & he'll be ebtter tonight.
BB- hope casey is feeling better. I hate it when they're sick.
Question:
With the new car, we have to put the car seat in. Am wondering if we should put it in rear facing or forward facing. I am thinking rear facing and booking in for qld ambulance to do it forward facing professionally (they did our rear facing originally) as I want it installed spot on.
I will also be leaving Chais rear facing for as long as possible. He's 8 months tomorrow, but no where near ready to be turned. Can Summer sit up & hold herself steady?

:hugs: Could he be teething or coming down with something?
:hugs: Could he be teething or coming down with something?
He could be teething, he's been chewing on EVERYTHING, which is somewhat normal, but he has been constantly doing it this arvo. DH has come home and has him now. Even if its just 30 minutes, I need the break!
babywez have you tried bonjela, a cool piece of fruit in mesh or a rusk or anything? might soothe him until the pain passes. It does sound like teething - so hard to sleep when in pain and it's quite hot too.

I gave him a couple of teething rings out of the fridge and he's been sucking/chewing on those. I got one of those mesh things and put some apple in it, but he didn't think too much of that. Do you think watermelon would be ok in it? Might try the bonjela with him tonight. He's having a great ol' time with daddy right now.
babywez, I gave Sam Mango in one of those mesh thingies and he loved it but this morning I put watermelon in it instead. He initially looked at me as if I'd ripped him off as he loves the mango now, but after he had a few sucks he loved the watermelon. It broke up and all I really had left in it were seeds so I'd say it went extremely well. I gaev it to him cold out of the fridge too so very nice on a hot day. :thumbsup:
The MIL cooked dinner tonight and she was telling everyone else at the table that she's doing to teach me how to make a dish of hers tomorrow night. It's kafta (a type of meat with herbs) and potato in a tomato based watery sauce. She serves it with rice. She even said "Claire can do the rice" which is great... I've proven myself making rice her way (minus the lard of course)! :D
I hope he settles for you soon babywez. :hugs: And sleeps through the WHOLE NIGHT! :thumbsup:

From your fingers to the baby god's ears MOS! I will try the watermelon tomorrow I think. It would be great on a hot day! I love cold watermelon on a hot day.
I am now applying for a job at Harbour Town with one all day I dream about soccer. Its only 10 hours on weekends and good perks! :fingerscrossed: but I am having a tough time with the cover letter. Need to put something in there that will at least get me an interview.

Well some things are easy to puree and store. Like pumpkin and sweet potato.
But I mean brocolli. :confused: Like how do you get it to a puree consistency. And Corn. And stuff like that. It just seems more.. limited doing it separately.
I dunno :S

Add some of the cooking juices into the food wen blending... until it's smooth enough.
And the mesh thingies - they're like a dummy - has an over-sized ring for baby to hold, but instead of a plastic nipple, there's a mesh sack which you put food into. Baby sucks juice of food but doesn't choke on anything! They are $4 in supermarkets or chemists. Awesome!
I meant to ask a few weeksago but whenever I rememmber, I'm in the bath with Sam...
For those with boys, have they "found" their willy yet? Sam grabs his, like PINCHES and then PULLS reall hard. Do I stop this as I fear he may hurt himself? His hand's like a yo-yo though - goes STRAIGHT back down there! Gives himself a little stiffy too. So NOT GOOD when in bath with your MUMMY... and I tell him, but he won't stop! Any ideas ladies? :o
Meant to say to those of you making food & stuck for combo's, check out the Rafferty's ones next time you're in the shops. They have some weird & wonderful combos where they combine fruit & vegie together (tonight Chais had spinach, apple, broccoli & pea!) You might get some good ideas.

Chais found his a while ago & I'm surprised it's still there the way he yanks on it! As soon as his nappy is off, his hand is there. It's totally normal & will only get worse with age :laughing:
Well I just lost a massive post, :hair: I really need to remember to copy it before I post when I'm at work!!!
Lets see if I can remember!
MOS good luck with TTC, my AF Still hasn't come back yet either, but then I didn't get it back at all after DS1, and I fell pregnant with DD when he was 9 months, he wouldn't have a bar of me once I fell pregnant, it apparently makes the milk salty a lactation consultant told me. But then i have friends who have fed stilla fter they got pregnant, so think it depends on the bub and my DS1 was only having a feed morning and night.
K8y, my DD didn't like the bottle either, but I found that if I wasn't around she took it better. She wouldn't take it with the Milk on Tap in sight:D DS2 is the same, he won't take a bottle if I'm in the room, or even if he knows I'm anywhere near!! Take heart, she may be better when you are not there to see.
STG my DS2 eats heaps. He ate 3:eek: weetbix for breaky the other day, he either has weetbix or the raffertys garden breaky stuff. He'll eat veggies or fruit and then yoghurt or fruit for lunch and then veggies with meat and then fruit or yoghurt for tea. He still has 5 or 6 BF a day. he's jsut a little chaffer!
Kotaki those pics make me all clucky again!
Ems my DD was little too, I turned her around before she got to 8kg, she didn't get to 8kg until she was 11 months LOL. And she was only 8.6 when she was 14 months. She'll be 3 in March and not this Christmas gone but the one before, she was still wearing size 0 clothes. He nick name is Midget or Bug because of how little she is. Mind you she's had a growth spurt last 6 months or so and she's in size 2 clothes and had hit 12kg!!!
Sorry can't remember what else I was going to say personally to people.
Well I had really intersting New Years Eve. I worked down at Albert Park at "the Point" at a party. There was about 3000 - 4000 people at it. Most of the night we were putting bandaids on girls feet for shoes that didn't fit, or to the barpersons or cleaners hands after they'd cut them selves on glass etc. Had a couple of drug related ones, someone taking eccies for the 1st time, someone who OD's on a mixture of eccies, speed, coke and copious amounts of alcohol. He got shipped off in an ambulance. Lots of people who had drank themselves into a stupour and were unconsious (why they let themselved get that bad is beyond me!) and the I helped save a guys life!!!! He'd been glassed. Had MASSIVE slash on his forehead down over his eyebrow, straight to the bone and another one on his neck. it was HUGE and GAPING. It got his carotid artery. I spent about 20 mintues with my hand buried in his neck stopping him from bleeding to death. The Dr at the Alfred said that 30 seconds later and he would have been dead. He was very lucky.the guy I was working for was a paramedic luckily, since the ambulance took about 40 mintues to get there!!! (see people who drink themselves stupid and get taken by ambulance to the hospital to sobre up take up an ambulance that someone really needs, annoys the life out of me!) Poor guy was just dancing and had some freak glass him. Very lucky he was, lucky that the organisers had thought to have proper paramedic and first aid there too. Mind you the organisers were stupid as far as I'm concerned serving everything in glass. With the increase in glassings and all the media coverage it's got, surely they could have limited or banned the glass. Just my 2 cents anyway.
Then I had my cousins wedding, it was goreous. She looked absolutley stunning. Her dress was designed and it had bits of my other cousin Maja (who died, she was due the same say I was with DD) her wedding dress sewn into it, and some of her mums wedding dress and some of our Nonnies wedding dress sewn in and her other grandma's and her auntys. It was gorgeous. And my 2 sisters and her other sister were the bridesmaids and they looked gorgeous too. Even if my sister doesn't think so since she's due a the end of this month. (Yay!!! I get another neice or nephew!!!!) but I think she looked really good.
Well I think I've rabbited on enough, will make sure I copy before I post this time!!!
:laughing: Thanks Kotakai. So you're pretty sure they don't hurt themselves then? And yes, I actually checked out those Rafferty's Garden foods in Woolies today. Not to buy, but for my own combo ideas. There are definitely some psycho concoctions! Just goes to show you can throw any old things together! :rolleyes:
Wow fra99gle! What an eventful NYE and well done on saving that guy's life! Seriously, I think all beers should be in plastic bottles. Does glass keep it colder or something? What is the attraction of glass?
Your cousin's wedding dress sounds very special, you will have to post pics! I think that is one of my "guilty pleasures" ... wedding pics! I can look at pics of complete strangers. I just LOVE weddings and wedding pics! OK now I'm just making myself sound like a freak!

happybirthday C&L mummy
k8y I would love a subaru too..after the forester though...mind you an audi ain't bad!
babywez, whilst it is none of the potential employer's business I would put in somewhere- probably not your resume about being a mum. I think if you are on mat leave it is a little different because you are still employed. but people go for PT jobs for heaps of reasons, so don't worry too much about it. the downside of telling people is that some employers hate mums because they perceive that we will always have to have time off when bubs are sick etc! I used to do some work on getting people back to work after an injury so if you want me to look at any applications for you, just let me know and I'll let you know my email address.
well I had a great day today, last night was back at soccer soo hot, and today PIp had swimming and jumped off the pool edge by herslef (supervised) it was pretty cool, but freaky..have to get some floaties
went shopping today got little bits and pieces.
still very hot here ready for bed I think, went to the gym this afternoon and struggled with any upper body stuff...my body is still getting over the wakeboarding a week ago:rolleyes:
hope everyone has a good night
meandd wa full on NY fra99le! it must have been an amazing feeling to help that guy.
the wedding dress sounded like a lovely momento of your cousin.what a lovely thought
alright off I go now!
Sam in pain and squealing again. He jolts as if in pain and thrashes about when I put pressure on his back. Didn't have cabbage today but yesterday he started on cauliflower so might stop that for a few days and see if any changes... Might try it again later on if that seems like the problem. I don't want another night like last night. :hair:

fra99le - what a night for you on NYE - you're a good samaritan - don't think I could be around so many stupid people.
MOS - sounds like everything is falling in to place at the inlaws - great news.
Had a hectic day here - I work a Mon & Tues now so Weds are always a bit iffy with DD as she tends to look for her daddy as he looks after her on Mon & Tues. We had mothers group here today - 1st one arrived at 10am and the last one left at 1.25pm!!!! My day just disappeared. It's still so hot here too so the air-con has been on all day. The poor dog hasn't been out as I was vacuming this am when I should have been walking her!
Good news tho we're finally having a pool installed on Thurs so pleased we finally made the decision. It's only a little courtyard one but plenty enough to cool off in.:yelclap:
Also, last night had a call from the childcare centre I really wanted DD to go to (before my OH managed to change his shifts). They originally had a waiting list till 2010 but now they have a spot for DD, which I don't really need, but have decided to take it anyway - am going to see if I can increase my hours at work and just work the morning of the day she goes to daycare - I'll drop her off at 6.30 and pick her up at 1.30 so it'll be long enough for her. I really want her to get more adult interaction - as we don't have family here calling in all the time, she only ever sees me and my OH and the mothers group girls, and I have a friend in the same situation as me whose little one is really clingy. So going to see if this helps... but once again it'll kill me to drop her off.
Babywez - hope your little one is feeling better soon :hugs:
Just a text from my bestie - they had to put their dog to sleep today and they are so upset - poor poor people:no:
No more cauliflower for Sam. :no:
Battery dying and today's my walk day, so chat later. :wave:

I do really like the raffertys garden food, and the reason that they seem a little odd is the apple in with everything, that's instead of adding water or something. So it really is just what is listed in it. I've stashed a few of them at my mum and dads and DH's parents place, and I have a couple of packets of the fruit ones in the nappy bag, I love that you can seal them properly again, just screw the lid shut. Actually the other day when I was at the Colac Rodeo, my friend was holding on to DS and offered to feed him and I had the blueberry and apple one and the next thing when I looked over, here he is holding onto the packet, just sucking it out. LOL, it worked!
Well my little man is grumpy. He's had a temperature for the last couple of days, only sitting about 37.5 during the day, but at night it's been going up to 38/39. Had him at the Dr yesterday, he hasn't got anything obviously wrong with him, no ear infection or cold or anything, he thought it might have been his teeth. He's still having plenty of BF though, but isn't really interested in his food, not overly worried about that since he's still (.)(.) feeding often though. He just won't sleep properly. He was up at 2 this morning for a couple of hours and again at 6 and he hasn't been back to sleep yet. Poor little thing.

Morning all,
Hope everyone had a great NYE and the start of 09 smooth.
We too love the rafferty range Hunter gobbles it up when ever its offered tho had to stop giving him the dinner base ones as they have tomato in it and it really effects his eczema. Just thought i would let you all know that use the raffertys range that if you go to the website you can get a free tshirt from there, you just send in 5 barcodes and they send you a food critic top for your mini.
Hunter has been really grouchy lately and is trying to miss his morning sleep but then he gets so over tired that he ends up screaming for half an hr sometimes even more, a couple of times ive had to walk outside to take a breather :hair:.
Did anyone make any new years resolutions?
I always do the same one try to be more healthy usually lasts a week :laughing:.
Did anyone see the news last week of the 6.1kg mini(not really mini lol) that was born and here i was thinking my 4.2kg baby was HUGE.
Its so amazing how fast time goes ive been lookin at all the newborn babies around and cant believe how big mine has already gotten wish they could stay tiny for longer :rolleyes:
Well i can hear whinging going on fingers crossed he has a nap today dont like my chances though.
Have a nice day/ week everyone
Chais found his a while ago & I'm surprised it's still there the way he yanks on it! As soon as his nappy is off, his hand is there. It's totally normal & will only get worse with age
:laughing::yelclap:
That gave me a great laugh this morning!
Hmmmm personals......
BB hope Casey is much better today. Wow, 18kgs is such an amazing achievement.
MOS how did Sam go last night? better? cauliflower makes him gassy? I haven't tried it on Summer yet.
babywez try the watermelon. I haven't yet, am trying rockmelon this afternoon as I heard it was really good for them.
fraggle wow can't believe they used glass. I agree, plastic would have been so much better. Your amazing, saving someones life :goodvibes:
kelectable mine is to be more healthy too and to try and eat yummies in moderation (ie no whole family block of choc in one hit just because I got my AF :rolleyes:).....lol
Well Summer is at CC this morning so have to go, things to do while she is not here i.e. keep my mind occupied so I don't worry about her too much.
She is staying 9am to 12pm. Due for a feed at 11.30am so they're going to try for 1/2 hour while I am not there, then I will pick her up.
Best go, sorry no more personals but so much :ecomcity: since I was on just yesterday!
Went to movies last night to see twilight with a friend. What a hot man fest. We drooled through the whole thing, it was great, ended up with angelina jolie lips again :rolleyes:
Hi everyone, sorry haven't posted since i got back (saturday arvo) we had a great Christmas and the kids got spoiled rotten, we actually had to leave the pram at mum and dad's so we could fit in all the presents (lucky we have 3)
poor Kobi has to have surgery in about 6 to 8 weeks time to remove the cyst thing on his bottom, he will have a general anesthetic and will only be in over night, the bad thing is they have to leave the wound open so it will heal properly and we will be give a special aniseptic wash that he has to be washed with 3 times a day and after ever bowel motion.
DH is going overseas for a month around that time so i have to get mum to come help out so i can stay at the hospital over night with Kobi.
the surgeon said it this thing is very common in young bubs his age and the surgery should only take 30mins.
Kobi is almost sitting up by himself now and he says mum and dada and sometimes bub, he is still cutting the bottom two teeth, they are almost through, you can feel a tiny point, so hopefully he can get a bit of relief from that soon.
Alice is almost toilet trained now, she is so good with it, and after nap time she rips the nappy off to go to the potty, we will just give it time before we start doing the nights and nap times with no nappy, but can't get over that we have been on the same pack of nappies for her for about 3 weeks now, so already saving $$$.
well think thats about all.
i hope you all had a lovely christmas and a great new years.
i am off to go jump on the wii fit for 30mins.
my new years resolution is to drop 10kgs by July this year. wish me luck....im going to need it LOL
Its so amazing how fast time goes ive been lookin at all the newborn babies around and cant believe how big mine has already gotten wish they could stay tiny for longer :rolleyes:
Have a nice day/ week everyone
Yeah I just got out this jumpsuit. Its like a travel suit with covered hands and feet to go over clothes. and its sooooo small. Yet it took forever for her to grow into it!
My little girls so big now
Hmmm charlotte had her first arrowroot yesterday and devoured it. Ive always been cautious with the whole choking thing so never offered it to her before but she ate it in 2 min flat like a pro.. same with mango chunks...
Thismorning i was holding her while having a biscuit. She grabed it right out of my hand and shoved it in her mouth lol. cheeky monkey.
And also vegemite on toast for first time thismorning.
Very messy but yeah/
And she's started having weetbix too since I heard heaps of you are doing that.
Hmm I better run, time for her morning bobbie milk
Well, the watermelon is a hit in the mesh food thing. That is when he's not throwing it on the floor or chewing the handle of it ;) Will try mango this arvo! :laughing:
Bit of a rotten night last night. I don't feel anything on his gums, but I guess that doesn't mean anything, does it?
HI :ecomcity:ers
MY baby is 1/2 today:D...
Not a lot happening here... Everything is on "holidays"...didn't realise Id miss Play Group LOL. Have enrolled Gaberiel in swimming lessons, but they don't start until Feburary. Off to visit my friend, (who is also my boss) this afternoon. She lives wit her parents and they want to cluck over him as well...awww
Just had him on the lawn while I got the post and pulled out a few handfulls of weeds. He got busy plucking the dandilions out..and of course trying to shove them in his mouth.. Thankgod they are not poisen..but taste pretty bitter:laughing:
And yes it is amazing how they have grown. I have already given a heap of his cothes to my work and have a bag full of stuff to post on Ebay...when I can be bothered. Funny to look at ites as stg said..they too ages to gro into...and now they nowhere near fit them. I can remeber making the change to 00 sleepsiuts and the legs were too long...now he's getting close to needing to go to 0. He's still pretty lean though...was tryingto weigh him this am on my scales...I dont think he's 7kg as yet... Will get him weighed next week.
He had yougurt for the first time yesterday... only about 10 tiny teaspoons....But was a bit spilly yesterday arvo, and constipated today...so I dont think he's quite ready for it yet.
Watermelon...G loves it.
Coliflower..he semed ok, but I only give him one small iceblock of that at a time...(about a taplespoon), as I was worried about the wind potential..
AS for the Raffety's Garden, I haven't specifically loked at that range, but I think it's quite weird and a little disturbing how most brands seem to have fruit mixed in with the vegies.. Basically it's to make them sweet, instead of adding suger. I'm trying to separate bland and sweet things as I want him to get a sense that things have a differnt range of tastes. I often dont mix his vegies all together, either...so that he gets a mix of different separate tastes each meal time.
Don't get me wrong I have nothing against commercial baby food (Ive brought some), nor people who mix everything all the time. Its just what feels like the right thing to do to me...if that makes sense.
BB sorry..I didn't get on until late yesterday. I hope Casey's ok. If he still has the loose poos and is a bit off, it's probably worth getting his wee tested. As some bubs can get loose pos as a symptom of a uti.
k8y: Glad CC went well. I bet she's having a ball. I left Gabriel with mum last evening to go to dance class...I felt really weird. Kept saying I feel so light..with NO bubs in my arms.
:hugs:Candiee re Kobi's surgery. He will be fine. The worst bit will be walking away from the theatre after they are asleep.... I hate that and have always felt like crying for the parents... I'l be hopeless if it were ever Gabriel. Babies heal really quickly. We usually tell parents to dunk bub's bottom in the hand basin and give it a good wash after poos.
Fra99le::yelclap:on NYE. I don't know that I would be able to find the vessel to hold. I can't believe that used glass either. Maybe the guy can try and sue them so they wont in the future.
Kelectable hope Hunter has a sleep for you. frustrating when they are grumpy. Maybe his teeth are lurking. Gabriel was really demanding for baout 3-4 weeks .. then suddenly ther were teeth there...and he's been much more settled. Hmm until this past few days..a bit grizzly again...so Im wondering if the top ones are lurking.
Whoever it was who got bitten as well.... G seems to have stopped using me as a teething tool...for now:o

K8y how did summer go at cc without you there? did she take the bottle?
Stg Ive also given Hunter vegimite on cruskits absolutly loved them sucked them to pieces and didnt choke once lots of mess though cant believe how a little big of vegimite can spread so far all over his face and up his arms but he did have a lot of fun
I too love the mesh things now that we have one only tried apple and rockmelon though and both were a huge hit nice for his sore gums :)
Hunter is getting his jabs today really not looking forward to it last time i went i took him to our local dr for the nurses to do it but when we got there only one nurse was available and she seem to take her time jabbing him, so am taking him to the local council this arvo and :fingerscrossed: they do all the jabs at once so its over and done with quickly.
BUGGER! Lost ginormous post! :hair: k8y, forward only brings back the quotes but not my responses... Am going to write but in kind of shrot hand as CBF typing again.
do you give him anything for his tummy?
I remember charlotte woke up a few times for hours cause of that..She wouldnt burp but it came out the other end very fast when I used infants friend haha
Thanks, will get some for fridge for next time me-thinks!
I do really like the raffertys garden food, and the reason that they seem a little odd is the apple in with everything, that's instead of adding water or something. So it really is just what is listed in it. I've stashed a few of them at my mum and dads and DH's parents place, and I have a couple of packets of the fruit ones in the nappy bag, I love that you can seal them properly again, just screw the lid shut. Actually the other day when I was at the Colac Rodeo, my friend was holding on to DS and offered to feed him and I had the blueberry and apple one and the next thing when I looked over, here he is holding onto the packet, just sucking it out. LOL, it worked!
Well my little man is grumpy. He's had a temperature for the last couple of days, only sitting about 37.5 during the day, but at night it's been going up to 38/39. Had him at the Dr yesterday, he hasn't got anything obviously wrong with him, no ear infection or cold or anything, he thought it might have been his teeth. He's still having plenty of BF though, but isn't really interested in his food, not overly worried about that since he's still (.)(.) feeding often though. He just won't sleep properly. He was up at 2 this morning for a couple of hours and again at 6 and he hasn't been back to sleep yet. Poor little thing.
:hugs: fra99le, hope you get a better night's sleep tonight. How cute eating out of the packet!
Did anyone make any new years resolutions?
I always do the same one try to be more healthy usually lasts a week.
kelektable, nice to hear from you again. Yes NY res is to be more patient with the MIL and less of a b!tch... to her really but to people in general. Might be hard! :D It's going well. We're cooking together this arvo... so that will be a test in itself I think!
I just had a chat to her (trying to make an effort!) and told her about the cauliflower. She said to keep on giving it to him so I said no it really hurts his stomach so will try again in the future. She didn't understand me and thought I'd only given it to him once. It was a few days... She then asked me why I'm not giving him meat. I can tell it's KILLING her but I recall reading it's about 10 months on the meat. Will double check it but I'm not going to rush things. I'd like to suss out a few more fruits and veggies before I venture onto meats. I've told her before but she doesn't listen. I think it's often a communication issue with her... but alas, I was patient and didn't rise to the bait.
poor Kobi has to have surgery in about 6 to 8 weeks time to remove the cyst thing on his bottom, he will have a general anesthetic and will only be in over night, the bad thing is they have to leave the wound open so it will heal properly and we will be give a special aniseptic wash that he has to be washed with 3 times a day and after ever bowel motion.

Best of luck with the weight loss candiie. Feel free to drop in every now and then for some encouragement!:yelclap: I find the first few kilos are the easiest and then from there, the feeling of pride having lost a few kilos already keeps me going.
Well, the watermelon is a hit in the mesh food thing. That is when he's not throwing it on the floor or chewing the handle of it. Will try mango this arvo!
Bit of a rotten night last night. I don't feel anything on his gums, but I guess that doesn't mean anything, does it?
And didn't I tell you it would be?! He'll love the mango even more. You know why? Because it COSTS more! :laughing: Hope you have a better night tonight.
I plan on sleeping like a baby tonight... at least I HOPE I do because Sam's not having any cauliflower!
Hey, whoever mentioned banana makes their poo funny a few months back, THANK YOU! If it was for you, I would have been worried over the last few days.
My walk today with my walking buddy was nice. I started to tell her I was looking into that fitness for mums business and she said she was too and has an appointment with someone tomorrow to discuss the course. Well, great minds think alike! So I'm doing some homework this week and who knows.... maybe something might come of this.
Sam sleeping. He fell asleep whilst pulling on my hair. I had to PRY it out of his fingers once asleep.
Have a wonderful day all.
Ok I'm on here so I can distract myself from the protests coming from Nick's room. He's in his cot, and not at all happy about it. But so far I think its just "mantra" cries. He got really upset this morning when I put him in there. I tried again this arvo, and he managed to make his way around the whole cot. I'm just having trouble figuring out when he's really upset. B/c when I picked him up earlier, he started smiling, like "Gotcha!" This is killing me though. But he won't go to sleep any other way. I think I"m going to have to read the Tizzie Hall book again. I'm trying to leave him for the 18 minutes recommended, but its killing me.

Thanks C38 Im going to the docs tomorrow morn he had one runny poo this morning then a strang poo :confused: ...............
it was the size of a few 50cent peices,mucus/jelly like poo with bits of blood through it....:(.........he is good though in himself...not giving solids as it may be bug so just needs to pass through,it might be worth testing his wee at the docs but its such a mission I would have to sit there all day just to get a sample as it needs to be a clean speciman in the cup:rolleyes:....oh its worth it though.
Best go....sorry no personals....busy...:wave:

lol I had to chuckle at the image. How cute
I mashed some banana up for her lunch and was trying to feed it to her while I had some vegemite on toast myself, She refused the banana (WHAT THE?? ITS ALWAYS BEEN HER ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE) but didnt take her eyes off the toast opened wide for the the toast. Kids generally love vegemite. Would be a party for their tastebuds I guess its probably one of their first strong flavours

Hrmm I know how you feel.. I havent even attempted this stuff yet. I keep saying once she is weaned but Im still BF..
I rock her to sleep for naps, and feed her to sleep at night.
She doesnt really fuss at all when I put her in her cot or pram once I rock her to sleep, and she doesnt fuss when I put her down at night.. so I guess its not too bad. But it would be nice to just put her in her cot.. but i mean she pulls herself up on the rails, crawls around.. how in the hell will she just put herself to sleep when she is so mobile. I dunno.

Casey is happy enough though....he is a bit grizzly/clingy this arvo but hasn't had alot of sleep today.
He has had no more runny poo's so hopefully its passed.....we will see:goodvibes:
Not much else happening went to the park today for a picnic with some of my Mums grp friends was nice morning weather 4 seasons in one day :laughing:Typical Hobart weather :rolleyes:
Casey is doing everything opposite to Jake,he has 2 teeth already(7months old) crawling(army style;)) haha...but hes not sitting up by himself(for long....) rather Jake was sitting up before he crawled but he went straight to big crawling.
Was funny today Jake is going great guns with TT:thumbsup: he pulled his pants down & held his willy & did a pee pee in the garden(park) didn't even get his clothes:yelclap: hahahaha one of his friends did it so he had to copy.
Bye for now
Still not taking the bottle, even at CC without me there.
Just tried before and she screamed and cried for half an hour then I had to give her boobie. I'm so stressed and upset about it :crying:
BB glad Casey seems to be doing better.
c38 certainly get more things done without little bubs around and you do have a light free kinda feeling.
MOS sorry, it worked for me once, may have been a one off. What does banana do to their poos? Was going to give some tomorrow for the first time. She's doing her whole poo hoarding atm, been 5 days :rolleyes:
She's slept heaps the past 2 days. Yesterday an hour and a half in the morning, had to wake her to get to doc on time, then 2 hours in arvo, had to wake her to feed her before I left for the movies. Don't know how she went this morning at childcare but she did sleep. This arvo she did 2 1/2 hours. Had to keep checking on her. Plus she's been sleeping through to 6am of late. I'm not complaining. I feel I've had most of the day to myself with her at CC this morning then sleeping half the day of way.
babywez I guess you have to keep persisting. Though I hate when people say that to me as I've been hearing it constantly since trying to get Summer on the bottle and it's a real drag :rolleyes:

awwwwww K8y you poor thing :hugs: it must be so hard...sorry I dont have any advice besides you know it all :yes:
Well gosh I have a fussy little miss on my hands :rolleyes:
She whinged through her first few mouthfuls of zucchini and potato tonight, so I made her some carrot and sweet potato (her favourite) and she was all happy again and ate it happily.......fun times ahead I see :rolleyes: Perhaps she has a sweet tooth like her mumma :laughing:
For those giving vegemite I briefly heard something on the news about the high salt content. I was thinking also of giving her veg on something to suck on but I haven't looked at the salt content. Perhaps the amount put on is so minimal it wouldn't matter?
I read somewhere that more then 1gm of salt per day is not beneficial for their wee little growing kidneys etc.
Thanks BB, the support is enough :goodvibes:
One of Summer's vaccination sites is a bit red and minutely swollen looking. Should I be concerned :confused:

Never mind I just read up on the side effects and it's common as well as drowsiness so that would explain her really good sleeping. Bummer, lol, was hoping it was her all on her own :laughing:

Well I'm off to bed soon as I still feel terrible. I'm 14 weeks tomorrow so hoping this nausea leaves soon!
BB you're making me nervous re the jelly like poo with blood in it. You said he's been ok in himself though except for loose poos though... Do you think he's been more whingy then usual or having any crying spells where hes difficult to settle. There's a classic condition where they get intermittant blockage in the bowel..it kind of kinks then unkinks... They are fine in between but get uncomfortable with episodes.. In young bubs it's often misdiagnosed as gastro as they often have a bit of vomiting and loose poos as well. They are usually quite upset with the episodes... or I've see a couple that were more lethergic and whingy (like they have a nasty gastro)... The classic sign if the bowels been twisted like this is a poo that looks just like red current jelly.... If any of this fits... take him to DEM.
If you feel it was more mucousy then jelly like...with the blood streaks and he seems ok which from your description sounds maybe more like it...not vomiting, drinking etc then its likely hes got some kind of bacterial gastro... or it could be a sign of an intolerance. Either way best to take some poop with you to the GP tomorrow, scrape some into a clean jar if you can:D. Re the wee ask for a container so you can sit at home with his pants off to catch some, then you can keep it in the fridge and drop it off later.
Poor Casey:hugs:

Had dad over for dinner tonight as his Mrs is off in Fiji with her son and daugther. As I'm getting my plate of food, and talking about how Nick likes ot make the coughing noise but he isn't really coughing, he starts doing it. Only this time his face goes bright red, tears spring to his eyes, and he looks like he's gasping for air. So we all scramble of course, and he's bloody strapped in, DH manages to get a few pats on the back which brings up a mouthful of fruit/cereal mix. I got him out of the chair and kind of held him in front of me, over my arm, and the cheeky monkey starts grinning at us all. Scared the bloody hell out of me tho. Much more than when he fell off the bed or face planted it out of his chair! Hope I never have to see THAT again!
So bloody hot tonight. Makes me want to sleep in the living room under the a/c.
C38, are you a dr? I have noticed that you are a wealth of information, but missed somewhere very early on what you do? Boy are we lucky to have you in our thread! :)
Great pics kotakai! Love the one of him and the huge bear! Hope the MS goes away SOON you poor thing.

Babywez....C38 is OUR NURSE! :thumbsup: We are so lucky....
You can say that again!
Has anyone's bubs started picking their arms up to be picked up? Yesterday, Nick kind of started going this. If I bend down to pick him up off the floor, he lifts his arms up, not like, up to me to pick him up, but lifts them up so I have access to his arm pits. Its quite cute!
Morning all,
Yesterday i ended up working for half the day. There is an admin assistant position up for grabs. It would be perfect, less stress than i had before, and moving up in the company, just have to find out if the regional manager wants me in the room or not. It will help me get more experience from the 2IC position in case i want to be director one day.
For those giving vegemite I briefly heard something on the news about the high salt content. I was thinking also of giving her veg on something to suck on but I haven't looked at the salt content. Perhaps the amount put on is so minimal it wouldn't matter?
I read somewhere that more then 1gm of salt per day is not beneficial for their wee little growing kidneys etc.
I herd the same thing about the salt. i just put the tinest bit on the toast to give it a little flavour.

Yes Kara does this. Its so cute. She mainly does it from the walker, or if someone is holding her she will lean towards me.
Yep Babywez a worry wort nuse..lol
BB; I figured he was fine as I was tying that lastnight as more then likely if it was redcurret jelly poo he ould have been sick enough with it that you'd have already taken him to a Dr, but my conscience made me type it...LOL
It's hard when you read things people have posted and commons sense tells you the child is fine as most bad things the child would be sick enough that the parents would have aleady taken them to a Dr, but you feel obliged to warn of the wose possible case senaio just incase it's one of those cases where the child didnt seem that sick.. then suddenly gets REALLY sick.. Because if I hadnt said anything and that happened then Id feel worse. Mostly I just feel like a worry wort.
BB I recon hes got some bug in his bowel. No doubt you at the DR now so already know anyhow. They probably wont do anything unless he stops drinking, or gets sicker in himself.
The poo I was talking about is yeah..just like dark red jelly chopped up. Generally the kid is obviously sick by the time it happens though and has has episodes of unconsolable screaming. I have seen one baby though who they they thought had gastro, she didnt seem realy realy sick, just miserable and just wasnt getting better with rehydration...then in the afternoon she passed the red jelly poo and we knew what was wrong. But oviously she was sick enough to have been admitted to hospital. Anyhow I will shut up.
oh:
Two other things that scare me are...
Bright green vomit, may also have smelly breath.. (classic sign of a twisted bowel, higher up)
Baby miserable with a temp that gets a rash that started as a pink dot (can be just one dot), that now has gone dark red, and doesnt go white when you push on it.... (meningococcal...though they can get a similar rash for less serious infections)
OK so noone mention these symptoms... so I wont be tempted to crawl through the computer to make sure your child's ok:laughing:
Babywez.. Im a Paeds nurse, so I know a bit about really sick baby's/children/teens... but everyday minor things...hopeless...cause they don't come to hospital for those.
AND its totally different looking after your own. One of my workmates put it nicely after having her baby rcently...she said ' I thought I would have no problem with her crying..we hear babys cry on and off all day..but OMG everytime she whimpers I just feel like I've failed her'
Well I have no medical background at all and I am a worry wort too :) I don't know how paeds drs or nurses do it, seeing kids so sick all the time :( Would break my heart. Must be a very tough job at times.
I am not sure if we just had a break-through, or if it was a fluke, but I put Nick in his cot and went to the loo. Come out, and he looks quite content in there, so I go get in the shower. I get out and I can hear his "mantra" cries. So I'm getting dressed, about to go get him, and it stops.
HE'S ASLEEP! :yelclap::yelclap::yelclap:
Sorry, I'm a bit excited about this. I hope its a break-through and not just a fluke!
Hi Everyone :wave:
Just read the last few pages & forgot to multiquote.:geek:
:hugs: to those who need it.
Chais is 8 months old today. I also can't believe how fast it's gone.
Here's a few recent pics.

Well I'm off to bed soon as I still feel terrible. I'm 14 weeks tomorrow so hoping this nausea leaves soon!
Wow.. thats one hell-of-a bear! lol
And you have very cute kids :goodvibes:
You can say that again!
Has anyone's bubs started picking their arms up to be picked up? Yesterday, Nick kind of started going this. If I bend down to pick him up off the floor, he lifts his arms up, not like, up to me to pick him up, but lifts them up so I have access to his arm pits. Its quite cute!
awww lol that is so cute. Yeah Charlotte made sure she perfected the arms out.. if she is crying on the floor she'll be on all fours and stick one arm up in the air lol...
Isnt it annoying. You cant say anything about babies cause once you do, they will do the opposite. I just told everyone I rock her to sleep for day naps but she goes down easy.
WRONG lol yesterday she jsut WOULDNT nap. I tried teething gel and stuff but she just refused. And we had to go out last night so she didnt get to bed til say, 10pm.
She slept til 6.30 but she woke up tired, she wouldnt sleep after a feed though. She wouldnt eat her solids brekky. arghh.
I finalyl gave her some panadol and she is sleeping now. Teeth I think. Wish they would give her a break for a while. She already has 7 :no:
Im off to a funeral today. If anyone is in Brisbane or Sunshine Coast, it was on the front page of the sunshine coast daily on Wednesday. A 21 year old guy died from a motorbike accident. I grew up with him known him since year one, went to school together, but lost touch the last 5 years or so. What a shock
Well I better go, get some work done while she is finally asleep!

Morning all
Another night of the terrible sleeping, Really not sure what is wrong with the midget tried bonjella tried cream for his skin tried nappies just still constantly waking up, not hungry either so a bit clueless to why he is waking so much, he thrashes around so much mebe he hurts himself on the cots does anyone use bumpers on their cots? we dont but i also didnt think you could get them anymore??
K8y have no suggestions as im sure you have tried all the different teats gl with the persistance you watch one day she will just take to it like she has always had the bottle :fingerscrossed: for you that its soon.
Babywez our little man has been doing this to for quite awhile it is very cute only does it for me and OH though.And a huge welldone to your little man for putting himself to sleep its only ever happened a couple of times here but i do put him in his cot when he is sleepy but i am a sucker cant stand the screaming after a few mins and then i just juimp on the fit ball and bounce him to sleep which usually only takes me a min or two when im lucky :rolleyes:
My gf came over the other day and she doesnt have kids and she hasnt seen hunter to much( mebe 5 times) but when she comes over she gets right in his face and he totally freaks out and then she complains that he hates her ive tried to explain you have to let him come to her but she still just says nah he just hates me drives me bonkers.
re the vegimite and the salt i didnt even think about that and i must admitt i do give him a few things i shouldnt yet like biccies to chew on but he just loves it. It isnt a everyday thing though but i should watch more what i do give and what others give him.
Well he is asleep atm and ive been trying to make sure this last week that ive got on the exercise bike everyday so i should go put the pedal to the metal and burn some flab.
Have a fabulous day all.
Wow BB my name on the wall in the shower...
hmm staff writing nasty messages about me on the wall:rolleyes:, ... (lol Im guessing the notice about cleaning the bath). I used to be in charge of the day to day running there, but had to give in the position when I got preggers as I can't keep that job and go part time... nevermind.. I don't want that stress ever again anyhow.
Gabriel doesn't put his arms up to be lifted as yet, but kind of leans towards me if he's in someones arms...or if hes on the floor he rolls to his back and puts his bum in the air..:laughing:
He's got the whinges today. Wants to be in my arms feeding or playing from my lap, but not lasting more then 5mins on teh floor. Ive got a bit of a sore throat so I'm wondering if maybe his is too..:(
stg isn't it annoying when you want them to nap as you know you're going somewhere. They definately sense the angst.
Ketectable :hugs: Hope the sleeping is beter today and tonight.
My back and neck are killing me today. I think from pushing the pram up hill yesterday. Guess I should get round to making teh Chiro apt.. How's your back BB?? Was the chiro you went to the guy opposite St Marys church in the city?? (same price..LOL) ..thats where I went during my pregnancy, my parents have been going to him for years. I'm a bit sceptical as I don't think I've met many people who have been to a chiro or osteo who weren't told that their pelvis is crooked...or one leg shorter then the other.. Though it does make sense that if you pelvis is out of line, baby wont fit through. Mine is apparently twisted forward on the left.:)
BeautifulBoys
09-01-2009, 13:01
C38 its the chiro on collins st,I too think alot of people would have a "twisted pelvis" we will see what the xrays say,because its very expensive.....I spent 10mins in there $45! :eek: Im not kidding.....but Im sick of this sore back when I sleep,what else can I do???? Maybe if the xray is all good I might go see this guy DH's parents go too,but I guess its worse @ night because Im not active? and then I toss from side to side & it hurts as it did in pregnancy,also sleeping on back is no good either :no:.....im over it! haha
It wasnt sore after I had Casey....just the last couple of months,my mum in NZ she said she feels the same things,thinks its because shes getting old or menopause:laughing:
Casey is getting clingy now lets just say he KNOWS who is Mummy is.....
Has anyone's bubs started picking their arms up to be picked up? Yesterday, Nick kind of started going this. If I bend down to pick him up off the floor, he lifts his arms up, not like, up to me to pick him up, but lifts them up so I have access to his arm pits. Its quite cute!
When I go to pick Sam up out of his activity chair, he lifts his arms up to make it easier, but as others have said, he leans to me and puts his arms out when someone else is holding him. The other day when the IL's came home, he hadn't seen them for 11 days and he was asleep. When he woke up, I took him out to say hello and he went back and forth between the two of them as he kept on putting his arms out for the other one. So the MIL was holding him but he'd put his arms out for the FIL and lean towards him, so he'd take him... then Sam would put his arms out towards the MIL and lean towards her. He just went back and forth about 5 or 6 times! :p
I am not sure if we just had a break-through, or if it was a fluke, but I put Nick in his cot and went to the loo. Come out, and he looks quite content in there, so I go get in the shower. I get out and I can hear his "mantra" cries. So I'm getting dressed, about to go get him, and it stops.

Sorry, I'm a bit excited about this. I hope its a break-through and not just a fluke!
Well done babywez, I hope it's not a fluke and it's in fact all of your hard work paying off. Great news!
Took Casey too the doc,didn't see my regular GP he on holiday but nice lady doc,she took temp & he was fine tummy all good aswell,sent off poo sample I took in & gave me wee sample bags,but she said understandable to be worried after having Kidney Infection,she said if he has one he would have very high temps again & they would be nasty & everyday like before but for my peice of mind im going to try catch some wee this arvo....he seems really good today.
Good to hear he's OK and nice that the Dr didn't make you feel like a worry wart. And good luck wee-catching! :laughing:
stg, sorry to hear about your friend. How sad...
Sam's sleeping.... uh-oh... grumbling... so better be quick!
DH just sent me a text saying he's going to take me out tonight. I wrote back asking where and he said "to the club". Don't know what clb he means but I'm all up for it. I asked what about Sam and he said him too, so that makes me feel better. I always get a sick feeling in my stomach when someone suggests I go somewhere as I want to make sure I can bring Sam before I get excited. I think I'm a little lame... I don't want to leave him anywhere still. Am I too attached?
Popped into my old boss' office today as he's a JP and I needed some copies of things certified. I'm applying or my QLD traffic history in writing so that I can try and get of this bl00dy T-Way lane fine. Wish me luck!
Well Chais has turned into a chatterbox today. He still doesn't say any words, but he's been making plenty of sounds.
His 2nd tooth finally broke through this morning :smiliedance:
BB -hope Casey's feeling better.
HE'S ASLEEP! :yelclap:
Well done! Let's hope he does it again for you.
I finalyl gave her some panadol and she is sleeping now. Teeth I think. Wish they would give her a break for a while. She already has 7 :no:
WOW, I can't believe she has 7 :eek:! We only had #2 break through today.
:hugs: Sorry about your friend.

Awww, how cute :goodvibes:
Well we have the chicken pox in our house. Halie has them for the 2nd time (she also had the vax) and they are a lot worse then last time. Spots everywhere!! She is so itchy poor thing.
Kara is geting really good at going down for her sleeps lately. she has 3 30min-1hr sleeps through out the day, but still wakes up twice a night. Dummy in, her iggle piggle doll she got for christmas and 1min of noise and she asleep.Now that she going down alright i will try anything to get her to sleep thru the night.
Just a quick note will try and write more soon when the kids are busy!!

Hi guys:wave: sorry i have still been a little MIA things get crazy so fast! We got back form our holiday which was so much fun then my sister went back to Townsville, Quinn stopped sleeping and caught a cold then the other day i took her to the doctor and she has an ear infection:thumbsdown: She has been on antibiotics for 2 days now so hopefully she feels better soon. I think it explains why she started screaming when being put to bed and stopped feeding properly. She is almost back to her smiley self, crawling all over the place and pulling herself up on everything. found her in our TV cabinet as well so she is pretty clever! We are also packing as we move in with the in laws next friday:no: i am starting to realise its really going to happen and i will no longer have Q all to myself hope i can handle it
I haven't had much time to read through everything so not many personals other than BB you are incredible with your weight loss!! i wish i could lose 18kg's!!
K8y- Sorry Summer is still not taking the bottle at CC, guess it just takes time. Q sometimes takes it and other times just chews the teat i can't pick when or why she takes it though. Oh and i saw the pic of your new car on facebook and i ma very jealous it looks great.
Kotakai those photos are gorgeous! seeing babies with big brothers and sisters always make me want to have another baby they always look so happy.
Speaking of other brothers and sisters good luck with TTC MOS, i think i have convinced DP to start in a year. i just love the thought of another little Quinn.
How many of you guys use cloth nappies? I am making the switch but need help picking which ones! i have some peapods so far and want to get some trial packs. MOS did you use the one you won?

Poor Q ear infections are nasty:no:
Jake has had a few....not nice
I used to use MCN nappies until Casey was about 3months old....but he grew out of them...
I have peapods/magic all's/greenkids.
All were great,magic all's take a long time to dry not good when you are in Hobart as they have a extra insert sewn into them:D
Greenkids are thin like peapods & you just add the inserts etc.

I dont use a bumber,I had one on with DS1(still have it) I just tied it supertight,but Casey is so strong....although I often walk in & the blanket is over his face...think he likes it.
But SIDS dont recommend you add bumpers/pillows.

K8Y...wish one of us had an answer for you. I will keep perservering if you do!
Had dad over for dinner tonight as his Mrs is off in Fiji with her son and daugther. As I'm getting my plate of food, and talking about how Nick likes ot make the coughing noise but he isn't really coughing, he starts doing it. Only this time his face goes bright red, tears spring to his eyes, and he looks like he's gasping for air. So we all scramble of course, and he's bloody strapped in, DH manages to get a few pats on the back which brings up a mouthful of fruit/cereal mix. I got him out of the chair and kind of held him in front of me, over my arm, and the cheeky monkey starts grinning at us all. Scared the bloody hell out of me tho. Much more than when he fell off the bed or face planted it out of his chair! Hope I never have to see THAT again!
So bloody hot tonight. Makes me want to sleep in the living room under the a/c.
C38, are you a dr? I have noticed that you are a wealth of information, but missed somewhere very early on what you do? Boy are we lucky to have you in our thread!
:hugs: you poor thing that happened to me alot with DS1....I was so frightened....
Flick -:hugs: for your DD. Hope the rest of the house doesn't catch it.
How many of you guys use cloth nappies? I am making the switch but need help picking which ones! i have some peapods so far and want to get some trial packs. MOS did you use the one you won?
:hugs: for Quinn. Hope she feels better soon.
Chais is in full time cloth. I've tried a few, but the ones I use every day are Itti Bitti's, Bonnibuns & CGR's. His night & swimming nappy are both also Bonnibuns. I love her nappies!
MOS hasn't got her prize yet. I sent an email to the lady the other day & it hopefully shouldn't be too much longer.
:sleeping::sleeping:Hi everyone
Just a very quick one as I need an early night! We are trying so hard to do some kind of controlled crying here, Liam has had the crappiest 2 nights ever - last night he was up every half hour until 2am and then awake again at 6am. each time I wound up getting him he was on all fours - dont know whether he wakes up and rolls over, or rolls over and wakes up. Anyway, feel like a zombie today, and had visitors so had to be nice and polite while feeling half dead.
My New Years resolution is to get these routines tightened up - both the sleeping/settling and the feeding.
:sleeping::sleeping:Hopefully my mind will be less fuzzy tomorrow, so will chat more articulately then. Wishing you all a settled night, take care:sleeping::sleeping:

Kotakai :thumbsup: well done using cloth nappies did you use them with the other kiddies?
I was up with Casey last night,I gave him a bottle as I could just tell he wasn't going to settle,but he woke because he had a dirty nappy:doh:....(thought I could smell something but wasnt sure) thats very unusual especially at 3am....I try not to feed him & just roll him on his side & pat him off to sleep again sometimes it works other times not so good,I think teething doesn't help either....
DH has taken Jacob out on the boat fishing,Pop has gone aswell its good for Jacob to be with the boys,so Fresh Flathead for dinner tonight!
Bit of housework this morning then I'll pop out to the shops.
ugh. what a **** night. From 2am she was tossing and turning. She never actually woke up, but kept tossing beack and forth and getting up on all fours and dragging her head etc drove me nuts

Its quiet on here today.........where is everyone :detective:.........I have the house to myself....not for long boys will be home soon,I must go do the ironing...:cool:
Beautiful day in Hobart....about time :sunshine:
Stg :hugs: I hate those nights!
Sounds like a few of us have had a tough night. Summer has learnt how to roll in her cradle in her sleeping bag in her sleep positioner :rolleyes: She thinks she's so clever, but I woke up at 1am to her scratching the sheets, she'd rolled over and she was trying to play. Now it takes double the time to get her to sleep because she keeps rolling. She still can't roll back yet so she gets stuck and eventually whinges......driving me mental. Is it wrong to tie them down in there? :laughing: (really JK for those tempted to ring child services lol)....
Well busy day so far. Summer back at swimming today. Made some purees, carrot, blueberries, strawberries, peaches and tomato. All separately of course, but the peaches smelt divine..... lucky little girl.
Went to shops to get some carrot, zucchini and celery to make sticks for the low fat hommus dip I bought as going to a bbq in about an hour for a friends birthday and am trying to be good.
Went to bbq's galore to get said friend a birthday present. Also went to Clark Rubber and got a great rubber mat like oconky's in numbers. Summer loves the feel of it.
Sorry no personals but have read and caught up. I have to go have a shower while Summer is asleep and get organised as we'll be there a while so need to pack her food and bath stuff and sleep stuff. Add to that the birthday presents and dips and drinks and I've never packed so much for a bbq in my life :laughing:

:hugs: Stg and Kyles for your rough nights. People without kids just don't understand, i can't remember the last time i had more than 4 hours sleep in a row i think exhaustion is why i have been so clumsy the last few weeks. eg tripping on a cord and falling into a wall or stepping over the shredder but somehow ending up slamming backwards into a door handle!
BB i hope you enjoyed the day to your self! although ironing doesn't sound like much fun! thats the chore i hate more than anything.
K8y have fun at the BBQ tonight, you sound very organised with summer's food. We haven't tried peaches yet but i think they are next, just introduced mango and she loved it.
Well i had to go get some shoes today for the wedding i am in in 3 weeks. They are ok shoes probably wouldn't wear them again but they were reduced to $35 from $100 so i don't really mind buying them. Then i stopped to look at country road and i spent so much on clothes for Quinn! They are all really cute though a couple pairs of jeans to last for the next 2 years! Everything was 50% of the reduced price so i paid a third of the retail it ws great:thumbsup: anyone with a country road near them i suggest go check it out they have cute boy stuff too i think it is anyway.
Now i just have to hope Quinn goes to sleep earlt tonight because its poker night at our friends place but need her to sleep or i can't go:(

:wave:
We are lucky to be finally back into routine and Lara is sleeping pretty good. Wakes between 4-5am for a feed then back to sleep till 8. So i really can't complain.
Took lara for her needlesyesterday, late i know but i hate doing it and keep putting it off. While i wish i had of put it off a bit longer, got in to see doc and he spends 5 mins looking at her book and i said "whats the problem" it was like he didn't know what to give her. He said that she didn't get a dose of something that she should have at 4months. So he would need to give her 3 and then i'd have to go back again in a few weeks. GRRR so mad then he said would you like me to double check on our computer system, i was like do you need to ask! So then he comes back saying she will need the 3, dh was in waiting room with Chaise so i got him to come in as i was a bit worried that this D### head doc didn't know what he was doing. So she definately didn't get the one she was suppose to get so he was going to give her 3, then he says actually i only have to give her 1 and then he gets 2 needles ready. I was like WTF do u know what you are doing..dh wouldn't let him jab her till he had explained what he was doing. In the end she needed 2 and is now completely up to date. Thank goodness thats over!
Chaise is with nana today so i've cleaned the house, lara had a beautiful long arvo nap and is now playing happily in the playroom. (across the hall, i can see her) It's great now she is commando crawling she gets wherever she wants and is much less whingy. Her poor little knees tho are red and dry.
Well i finally pureed some foods up last night, i think it is much more $$$ than just buying the jars and especially since you can buy ones with no additives nowdays i think i'll just buy them most of the time and when i feel domestic i'll do some cooking. Can't wait till she can just eat what we eat. Shouldn't be all that much longer, am slowely introducing some chunky foods.
K8y- have fun at the bbq, we never go out anymore. I wish we would sometimes. It'd be great to have friends with kids!
MBQ- well done on the clothes 50% off thats awesome. Hope quinn goes to sleep easily for u and u can go. Goodluck with the cloth! I'm such a terrible mummy :laughing: i don't do my own foods or use cloth nappies, u girls make me feel so lazy!

Afternoon All
starting to warm up here our first real heat wave of the summer is about to hit us. Not looking forward to it one bit.
We to are still struggling to get 4 hrs in a row at night. 930 is hunters bedtime and we want to have some quality time together without minis around but usually end up falling asleep watching movies, slowly trying to catch up on all our heroes episodes.
Very scary thing happened today one of our real close friends had a slight heart attack he is only 34. His heart was beating at 190 per min and they couldnt slow it down until they gave him some sort of drug. Very scary stuff always here about it but to have it come so close to home really makes you evaluate life.
I love the weekends but they seem to just fly by im constantly telling my OH on sunday ohh i wishi it was saturday again so we have an extra day together but today i wish it was friday so we have 2 more :laughing:
BB how many fish did the boys catch we have only just recently pulled ours out of the shed to start going again we caught 4 baby brim last weekend only to have to chuck them back in but was still exciting all the same :D
:fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed: for everyone getting more sleep tonight.
Have a great rest of your weekend all. :thumbsup:

Hey girls,
Just a very quick one to let you know I'm still about.
My Nana passed away on Thursday night. Was quite sudden and unexpected... she called Mum to say she couldn't feel her legs at lunch on Wed and had died by 6pm the next night - she had a blood clot in her heart, and the rest of the body died due to lack of circulation. There's other details about why they couldn't save her, but I don't think you guys would want to hear all that.
On the plus side the family was able to go in and say 'I love you' to her... she didn't know she was dying, so it wasn't morid for her, which was good I guess.
So I've been helping Mum with funeral arrangements, as her brother who just passed away in June - it was his birthday yesterday, so twice as hard for her and my Aunty.
Sorry for the blah, and to dampen the mood. Will probably be MIA for a while longer. Hope everyone is well, and I'll be very excited to catch up on all the bub's news when I can get back on.
Take care xox

:hugs:Oh Ems84 my sympathy and heart goes out to you and your family,my Nana passed away 3yrs ago it was also sudden and very unexpected she was 69,Im thinking of you and sending lots of love,please take care darling:kiss:
Hi everyone:wave:
Stg - big :hugs: Im feeling your frustration regarding the sleepless night last night. really hope Charli is more settled for you tonight.
Ems - huge :hugs:to you for the loss of your grandmother. My heart goes out to you and your family at this time.
Well after the night from Hell the other night, Liam slept like an angel last night! I think it was mainly to due with the exhaustion of it all. I checked on him before I went to bed (at 9.30!) and he was sound asleep ONHIS TUMMY:rolleyes: and I decided to let him go. He squawked a couple of times when he was moving his head from side to side, woke at 2.30am for feed and back asleep until Dh heard him at 7.30. Needless to say Im feeling much more positive and together today as well:smiliedance:
Have spent the day cleaning (ah, the fun NEVER stops in my life!) and pureeing a heap of baby food. Liam's asleep again now, so might have a beer!
have a great night all, take care:flowerz:
:hugs: ems... Sorry about your loss. :hugs:
We had a great night. We went to my friend's place - the one that tends to cancel last minute... well she didn't! :D We had dinner and got home around 10pm. It was nice...
DH worked today and I cleaned the house. The MIL asked me if I wanted her to cook Sam a zucchini stuffed with rice and meat. I said no thank you, that he will "eat meat a little later" and she said "yeah, later tonight"... to which I replied "no, another time". Then she said "why not?" so I told her he hasn't yet had zucchini, rice OR meat and if I give him all 3 at the same time and he gets sick, then we won't know which one it was that did it... to which she said "noooooo he won't get sick". I told her she doesn't know that and she said she does... So I told her that I'll give him meat when I want to but I'm not going to do everything that everyone else tells me to do and that everyone is always telling me what to do and if I just did everything, then I'd go nuts. I wasn't rude (kept my calm as planned), but it just annoys me that it's a daily conversation with her. I've read what the Dr gave me on feeding Sam and it says start meat at 7 months... which he is today. But I still have a few more veggies and fruits I want to intro first. There's no hurry... I am just over having the same conversation every single day... DH told me next time she asks me why I am or am not doing something, just to say "because I said so and I'm his mum". I might try that one! :thumbsup: Don't get me wrong, I have NOTHING against giving him meat soon... but I am sick of her talking about it. She's been trying to push me to intro meat since he was 3 months old... now 4 months later, the more she talks about it, the LESS I want to give it to him! :cool:
Might go get some chocolate. Bye! :wave:
:hugs: Ems. I'm so sorry. Thinking about you and your family.
MOS - next time MIL asks, just say you don't want him to have high cholesterol and you'll make all sam's meals when he's ready for them :)
I haven't introduced meat yet, either. But I think its more b/c I'm lazy. I did try some of the jar meals that had meat in them and he wasn't keen on them, so gave up on them for now. I also tried the pasta bolognese jar food and he didn't much like that, either. Will have to keep trying, I guess.
Am thinking about looking into a house & land package deal that they are advertising on TV. Assuming its too good to be true, and there are a lot of "catches" but worth looking into anyway I guess.
Off to dad's today. Weekends go by way too quickly. Enjoy your Sundays.

Kyles72 :yelclap: Sounds like Liam had a better night,I find Casey on his tummy before I go to bed I have been moving him as me & DH are paranoid but I think it would be fine to leave him as he can move his head from side to side now & he is happy like that,during the day I leave him.
MOS Gosh that must be frustrating :hair: I have introduced Casey to some meat but hes not that keen & hes just 7 months,so I made up some simple veges Carrot/potato/sweetcorn & he loves it so much,rather I made up this combo the other week of all sorts of veges & beef(it looked very green too much broc & silverbeet) he didn't like it at all....so I will add things abit more slowly I think.
Took lara for her needlesyesterday, late i know but i hate doing it and keep putting it off. While i wish i had of put it off a bit longer, got in to see doc and he spends 5 mins looking at her book and i said "whats the problem" it was like he didn't know what to give her. He said that she didn't get a dose of something that she should have at 4months. So he would need to give her 3 and then i'd have to go back again in a few weeks. GRRR so mad then he said would you like me to double check on our computer system, i was like do you need to ask! So then he comes back saying she will need the 3, dh was in waiting room with Chaise so i got him to come in as i was a bit worried that this D### head doc didn't know what he was doing. So she definately didn't get the one she was suppose to get so he was going to give her 3, then he says actually i only have to give her 1 and then he gets 2 needles ready. I was like WTF do u know what you are doing..dh wouldn't let him jab her till he had explained what he was doing. In the end she needed 2 and is now completely up to date. Thank goodness thats over!
K8y- have fun at the bbq, we never go out anymore. I wish we would sometimes. It'd be great to have friends with kids!
That would have been scary for you :no: The immunisations all look so complicated too and you have to put so much trust in some doctor you don't know to get it right......
Thanks we had a lovely time. It was with a bunch of my older friends who all have grown up kids so Sums got passed around all night and had a lovely time. She had a nap there, a bath and her solids too. She slept in the car all the way home and straight in bed when we got home so she slept from 9pm to 7.15am this morning :yelclap:
We introduced fresh peaches this morning with her banana and cereal and she loved it. Definite sweet tooth.

His heart was beating at 190 per min and they couldnt slow it down until they gave him some sort of drug.

I've pureed some chicken breast but haven't given it yet. Will give it a couple of weeks I think.
Put Nick in his cot about 20 minutes ago, went and showered, told DH to ignore his "mantra cries". And he's fallen asleep, but he wiggled all around and has ended up with his head against the cot, on my shirt like a pillow, and doesn't at all look comfortable. But I don't want to move him and wake him. What would you mums do?

I would (and have) wait ten mins until he's in a deep sleep then slowly shift him a little. I move Sam when he falls asleep sideways as I don't want him waking up and kicking the cot side or hitting his head. Works for me! :thumbsup:
Had another cr@ppy night's sleep. Don't know what his problem is lately... :no:
DH promised to take me out today so best get ready and get his work clothes on the line. I'm hoping to convince him to come to Rouse Hill shops with me but he's not as much into shopping as I am... :o Actually HATES it! So wish me luck! :wave:

Ems sorry to hear about your Nana :hugs:
Babywez - If its a daytime sleep i just leave her only because she doesnt sleep for long. but at night i do move her when she is in a deep sleep.
Just wondring if any other bubs have said any words?? Kara makes lots of noise but she doesnt even seem close to to saying anything.
:wave:

Can't wait till she can just eat what we eat. Shouldn't be all that much longer, am slowely introducing some chunky foods.
At what age would you guys say they just eat what we eat? Im looking forward to that too! lol..
I dont think it matters weather you cook or not its just personal preference I guess.
Me, Ive always home cooked her vegies. But fruit and oats etc have always come out of a jar.
Ive just bought those little pasta stars and pasta sauce. Anyone suggest how to serve it or know if you can freeze it??
With meat, i started chicken a couple weeks ago. just added a bit of breast into the blender when pureeing and she loves it. Meat I havent started.. but will probably just add a spoon of lean mince.. a bit of rissole or something to her vegies when pureeing. I have a lot of that in the freezer ill start soon.
She has started eating toast.. She cant really get too much to go in her mouth it kinda just goes to mush in her hands.
We went to sizzler last night and she had a ball with the melon and bread :)
My Nana passed away on Thursday night. x

lol I totally relate to that.
As I speak I hear my grandmother whispering. I know its related to giving charlotte something. She's giving her coffee milk foam from cappucinno.
I get cranky for not asking me and she justifies it because I gave her like a fingernail taste once. its the prrrrincipal...
Just wondring if any other bubs have said any words?? Kara makes lots of noise but she doesnt even seem close to to saying anything.
I didnt think they started that for a few months yet???
Though when I say "all gone" after every meal she makes a noise that sounds like that ... lol
Oh! I forgot to tell everyone, the day before yesterday.. she waved for first time. When saying goodnight to family every night since she was born, i held her arm and waved for her. Every day. sometimes more than 1 or 2 times a day.. and she finally learnt to do it herself:goodvibes: its sooo cuten you wave and she throws her arm around

HI:ecomcity:ers
Just a quick hello... off to see Alice in Wonderland at our Botantical Gardens...
Ems Sorry to hear about your Nanna:hugs:
Yuumm yum re the fish BB. I love fresh flathead.
Gabriel started crawling, aomando style yesterday. Sems suddenly it all clicked, just put him down on floor yesterday morning as usual, and he headed stright for one of his toys. He's also started the waving thing last week. Waves HELLO and Goodbye... Gets really excited when he sees someone he recognises eg Granma,and smacks his lips like hes blowing a kiss and now starts waving as well. He also does this to me when he wakes up and I go in to get him...SO Cute.
Anyhow off to do some more house proofing ...hes already been into one shelf and pulled down magazines:rolleyes:

Just wondring if any other bubs have said any words?? Kara makes lots of noise but she doesnt even seem close to to saying anything.
I was only saying to DF the other day I wonder when he'll talk. DD was talking at 5.5 months. Chais sounds the same as Kara. Makes plenty of noise but nothing like a word.
Oh! I forgot to tell everyone, the day before yesterday.. she waved for first time.
How cute :goodvibes:
Gabriel started crawling, comando style yesterday.
Go Gabriel :smiliedance: They'll be no stopping him now!
Just wondring if any other bubs have said any words?? Kara makes lots of noise but she doesnt even seem close to to saying anything.
No talking here... lots of mumbling but no words. The other day though, I was in the kitchen and Sam was in his high chair behind me. I was making "dad-dad-dad" noises and he was babbling away and then he just said "dad". I turned around in shock and he was just sitting there smiling at me. He didn't know what it was though and hasn't said it since so I'm not counting that!
lol I totally relate to that.
As I speak I hear my grandmother whispering. I know its related to giving charlotte something. She's giving her coffee milk foam from cappucinno.
Yes, I relate to that too! Oh if we didn't have to LIVE with these people! :rolleyes:

I've told DP already that Dada is easier to say and said thats my disclaimer if Sums says it first rather then mum, doesn't mean she loves you more :laughing:
Summer has a sweet tooth so morning fruits on her cereal is definitely a plus in her eyes! She had peach and banana on her cereal this morning and loved it. Banana is a pain though isn't it, you can't see it, then hours later there a brown stains on her clothes! Going to try weetbix after we go shopping next.
:( Poor Jacob. Sounds nasty. What a grown up little man to be so brave.

:yelclap: Casey is doing so well.
Summer still can't even roll from her tummy to back yet :no: so still whinges for me to come turn her. I do leave her for a bit first to see if she'll get there on her own, but doesn't. At least I don't have to worry when I put her somewhere she generally still stays put but I worry her development is a little slow.
Ladies at CC says watch out though as once she's on her legs she'll be a runner lol
She is reaching out for objects though and today she was on my lap while I was eating lunch and grabbed the piece of rockmelon I had and tried to eat it (she loves rockmelon). She managed to get a chunk off before I could get it back but she must have mashed it in her mouth because it was gone when I stuck my fingers in there to get it out.
Not done much today. Read the final instalment book of Stephanie Meyers. Thank god have finished as my whole focus this weekend has been finding time to read it and doing nothing else (like cleaning/cooking/washing) lol.
DP back at work tomorrow after xmas hols. Will miss him, we have so much fun together, always lots of laughs.
Well I'm off to cook dinner. Nothing exciting, just chicken and vegies.
BB do you eat much of WW food? I had some of those little carrot cake slices the other day and they weren't too bad at all. The sticky date pudding is great too.

No clapping waving or talking here yet but plenty of movement! She is getting pretty fast with the crawling too and she babbles a lot.
She is slowly getting back to normal i think, c38 i think i need your medical advice now Q's poo's have been very frequent since on antibiotics is this normal? She goes pretty much every nappy change, again both times in the cloth nappy but at least i am getting lots of practice claning it and seeing how clean they wash up!

For those with boys, have they "found" their willy yet? Sam grabs his, like PINCHES and then PULLS reall hard. Do I stop this as I fear he may hurt himself? His hand's like a yo-yo though - goes STRAIGHT back down there! Gives himself a little stiffy too. So NOT GOOD when in bath with your MUMMY... and I tell him, but he won't stop! Any ideas ladies? :o
Elliot tries to pull his off as well! If he pulls so hard I think he might hurt himself, I distract him with something else, but otherwise I just let him go for it. Very healthy! Don't fret my dear
I have lost 18KILOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:smiliedance:this wk a loss of 800gms.....woohoo.....
That's wonderful! Congratulations!
poor Kobi has to have surgery in about 6 to 8 weeks time to remove the cyst thing on his bottom, he will have a general anesthetic and will only be in over night, the bad thing is they have to leave the wound open so it will heal properly and we will be give a special aniseptic wash that he has to be washed with 3 times a day and after ever bowel motion.
DH is going overseas for a month around that time so i have to get mum to come help out so i can stay at the hospital over night with Kobi.
the surgeon said it this thing is very common in young bubs his age and the surgery should only take 30mins.
Poor little Kobi!
How many of you guys use cloth nappies? I am making the switch but need help picking which ones! i have some peapods so far and want to get some trial packs. MOS did you use the one you won?
Nice to see you again sweetie! Elliot is in cloth nappies. We use Itti Bitti D'lishes pretty much exclusively. I have a few other types, but I never really use them. I prefer the ittis. :) Peapods are good, but I am too lazy to use pockets. Itti Bitti have a trial pack for $49.95 I think?? Try the Buy For Baby website as well! It's an auction site so you can bid on a few different ones and get a feel for what you like :)
Hey girls,
Just a very quick one to let you know I'm still about.
My Nana passed away on Thursday night. Was quite sudden and unexpected... she called Mum to say she couldn't feel her legs at lunch on Wed and had died by 6pm the next night - she had a blood clot in her heart, and the rest of the body died due to lack of circulation. There's other details about why they couldn't save her, but I don't think you guys would want to hear all that.
On the plus side the family was able to go in and say 'I love you' to her... she didn't know she was dying, so it wasn't morid for her, which was good I guess.
So I've been helping Mum with funeral arrangements, as her brother who just passed away in June - it was his birthday yesterday, so twice as hard for her and my Aunty.
Sorry for the blah, and to dampen the mood. Will probably be MIA for a while longer. Hope everyone is well, and I'll be very excited to catch up on all the bub's news when I can get back on.
Take care xox
Oh Ems :( I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family xxx
Just wondring if any other bubs have said any words?? Kara makes lots of noise but she doesnt even seem close to to saying anything.
Elliot babbles.. dadada, mamama, nanana, popopop, but they don't tend to say words that have any meaning behind them until they're about one. :)
Oh MOS - it's weird that you are talking about how Rafferty's Garden mixing anything and everything together cause I do that and Mum thinks i'm nuts! Apricot, parsley, sweet potato and cucumber. That's what he had for dinner. Hehehe. Baby tastebuds are a blank slate so anything goes, really. I think RG mix apple with everything cause they don't use water and probably because it's the cheapest fruit/veg option.
Speaking of those mesh food things, Elliot LOOOVES his. I think it's one of the best things we've ever bought. He's had chicken, tofu, brocolli, carrot, mango, nectarine, banana, steak, apricot and frozen raspberries in his and has eaten pretty much all of everything. Yeeha! He'll sit there for ages sucking away, bless him.
Sorry we've been MIA. Went to DP's Mum's wedding on Friday so we stayed away for a few days, then I got food poisoning from some sushi so have been in bed pretty much all day after vomming the night away. Neugh. Gross.
Have also stoped taking my anti-depressants so am walking around in an emotional daze the past week or so. I know that will get better soon though, just need to ride it out.
There's a big storm coming and I'm about to run around and close all the sheds etc so I'm trying to type really fast. I bte I forget something important!
We got our wedding rings yaaay!
And ems, I've taken photos of the castings for you but I haven't cleaned it up yet. I need to get sanding! . Where did you get the kit from though? I'd love to do his hand as well and maybe give one or two to my sister for her little bub??
Pics!

Ring photos. Mine and DP's. DP totally caught me taking photos which was moderately embarrassing and I have now been banned from wearing it again until the wedding day.
DPs is 9 carat white gold. Mine is 9 carat white gold as well with Aussie diamonds. Yaay conflict free! Do you know how hard it is to find really fine jewellery with coloured stones? Gah. I totally gave up after the 10th jeweller!

Oh!!
And thank you all for answering my question about when you got pregnant :) I'm trying to think of another question now cause I really enjoyed reading all your answers :D
And so many bubs with teeth! And crawling! I can't believe it :goodvibes:
Elliot has no teeth and still not crawling, but I'm sure it will all happen soon enough
Poor Jacob had stitches in his eyebrow this arvo, we popped into nanas, after lunch out with Mums Grp(late xmas get together) he was so tired & tripped & hit the corner of the bedroom door he took a big gash out it will scar as the doc had to use the old conventional stitches aswell as the new kind over top,he was so brave he didn't even cry.........I couldn't believe it,there were a few tears at the end as he was stitching but I think it just felt a bit weird....so its been a big day today.
Awww poor Jacob! I don't know how I'd handle that if it were Sam. I just MELT when he stics his bottom lip out. I'm soooo not looking forward to a broken arm or stitches or something... I'm hoping it will never happen. It never happened to me. Then again Sam's a little BOY and they seem to be more adventurous!
Not done much today. Read the final instalment book of Stephanie Meyers. Thank god have finished as my whole focus this weekend has been finding time to read it and doing nothing else (like cleaning/cooking/washing) lol.
k8y, I've just asked my niece if I can be next in line to read the first book. She has the whole series and it must be good, the way so many people are talking about it. I bought a Kathy Lette book today and I love her writing so it may be a while since it takes me about a month to read a book lately thanks to Sam and Bubhub! :rolleyes:

Lambkin, your ring is AMAZING. I showed it to DH with big HINTS. I love it. It's different, which is SO YOU. It suits you to a tee and is gorgeous. And don't you feel stupid taking pics of things like that to share on BH? Too funny. It's hard to explain but when you want to show something off, you must take a pic as BH is the first place to show it! :D
Oh!!
And thank you all for answering my question about when you got pregnant I'm trying to think of another question now cause I really enjoyed reading all your answers
I too enjoyed reading stories too, so how about this one? Tell us about when you found out you were PG. Was it a surprise? Where were you? What were the first feelings, etc?
I'll go first: We were in bed on a Sun morning talking and I wasn't sure if AF was late or not as I'd recently gone off the pill and I was all over the place. I wanted to test but DH told me not to test every month... so I was hinting and he told me to go and do one if I had one in the bathroom (prob just to shut me up!). So off I toddled, pee'd on the stick and up came the line before I'd even finished my widdle! So I ran back to the bed and sat there smiling holding it up. We hugged, I cried... then said "oh sh!t I'm scared!". Then we went and told my mum who was in the lounge room as she was living with us at the time. She took one look at me and said "you look like the cat that got the cream, what's going on?".... aaahhhhh I'll never forget that moment. I was sooooo scared. I wanted it for a long time but when it actually happened, it's all so over-whelming.
Now I remember babywez's story so who's going to contribute next?
I hope you got all of the windows, etc lambkin. I can hear the thunder now and it's raining here... I love the sound of rain...
Are your babies clapping ye
wow, no, no clapping yet.. how clever is your little chicken!

where the heck do you get these things from??You guys are teasing me I really want one now it sounds great!
Charlotte had rissole with vegies tonight. Never seen her open her mouth so wide for food.
She has gone off banana though???
It used to be her favourite food.. hrmm
She has never really refused food unless she is full but she refused her banana for lunch and opted for some apple oats?
Oh k8y, what do you think about the Bebedelice cooking meat? Or anyone else, how do I cook the meat without using heaps of oil or salt, etc? I just want straight chicken, no cr@p. TIA. :thumbsup:
where the heck do you get these things from??You guys are teasing me I really want one now it sounds great!
stg, I'll PM you a link for one of those things so that you know what you're looking for. But I've seen them in Woolies, Big W, Coles and a chemist so they shouldn't be too hard to find.
Beautiful rings lambkin! When is the wedding? Did you end up getting your dream dress?
Been a bit of a trying day today. We were at dad's for the arvo so Nick didn't want to sleep b/c he'd miss something. We came home and all 3 of us "napped" (more of a sleep really) from 3:30 until 5:15! So it was a chore to get him to sleep just now. He just screamed and cried and kept banging his head against the cot, so I caved and fed him to sleep in our bed. Will go move him in a few minutes. Last night he slept 7:30-1:30 then I fed him and put him back in his cot where he stayed until 3:30 then fed him and he slept in our bed until 6. That is a miracle as he usually never sleeps past 4:30!
Back to my regular walking schedule this week. DH had a work car for 3 days this week so no walking to work, and couldn't make myself go without him. This week will be better though.
Nicklas isn't saying anything but lots of babbling, and definitely not waving or clapping! That is very clever. Our babies are growing up way too quickly. They really are little for only a short time.
lambkin, that ring is gorgeous, I love it :goodvibes:
I bet DP is waiting for Summer to take the bottle so we can have an evening together and he can propose. Gosh Summer take THE BOTTLE!!!!!!
Hmmmm I said before to DP after dinner I felt like ice cream. He said, well, do you have enough points??? bl00dy food nazi :rolleyes:
He just called me out before, Summer ate all her carrot and zucchini and was opening her mouth for more, so had to go out and make more.....
Well it was first up in the morning. DP was laying in bed while I got up to wee in the ensuite. Right then and there I just knew. Took the test. There was the line. Walked out to DP 'sh!t, we're really pregnant!'. He was blown away. Counted would have only been 4 weeks so we said that morning that we'd wait till 12 weeks to tell everyone. He was going to Indy that day and when he got home he'd blabbed to all his mates he was sooooo excited lol... Anyway, I took the test another 3 times over that weekend and each time I did the faint second line just got darker with each test. DP was still not convinced and made me do the blood test at the doctors :laughing:
stg, I'm posting a link below to a BH thread where someone was talking about those mesh feeder things. It has a link in the first post to a pic of one. There are heaps of different types but they are all basically the same.

We were the same. 5 weeks when we found out, and ended up telling many more people than we'd planned to! Thankfully everything went smoothly!

MOS I just used the tiniest smidgeon of olive oil spray, then sauteed the chicken very lightly in a pan, then poured in some no added salt chicken liquid stock and simmered. When done, I pureed the whole lot in the bebedelice. I checked the salt content on the stock and it was very minimal, waaaaay below their maximum and I'm always careful with that sort of thing.
If you don't want to use the stock, then just boil it, but reserve some of the liquid for pureeing as you would need liquid to puree.

Thank you soooo much k8y. I knew you'd so it how I'd like to dot (I hope that makes sense!). :D
And too funny about your DP blabbing. DH wanted to keep it a secret and we lasted about a week. I didn't really want to keep a secret anyway as I just wanted to tell everyone I was so excited! We decided about a week after we found out that we'd probably need to talk about it if something DID go wrong, so why not tell our friends and family? So we did! :smiliedance:
Oh I can't wait to do it all again... aaahhhhh....
MOS meant to say, the Stephanie Meyer books will suck you right in, but they're huge mammoth books. My friend and I are speed readers though, so we both read all 4 in a little under 2 weeks lol...
I read those books EVERY spare minute. When I was feeding her, when she was going off to sleep would sit with her and read. While I was eating breakfast/lunch. Late at night in bed sometimes till 12am. You might have noticed my bubhub activity drop off the last week or so :laughing:
I now feel quite bereft that I've finished them and am no longer a part of all the characters lives IYKWIM.

Lambkin that ring is just gorgeous! i love it, i never really thought about different wedding rings everyone i have known have just had a traditional band. And i think we will definitely be tryin the itt bitti's everyone mentions them so will order them this week. Its exciting and they looks so cute on her!
I too enjoyed reading stories too, so how about this one? Tell us about when you found out you were PG. Was it a surprise? Where were you? What were the first feelings, etc?
I love reading other peoples stories too!! I'll tell mine to anyone who will listen tho!
I was overseas in america, 3 weeks into my 2 month trip. I was so tired but just thought it was jet lag and as i was was still recovering from being held up i was on all sorts of sleep medication at home but was just trying to not have anything on my trip as it was a relaxing stress free break. So basically i was coming of sleep meds and thought this was all just a side affect. Then my boobs were so sore and i just knew, YNKWIM? so i bought a 2 test kit and was going to wait until the mornig as they say thats the best time but couldn't hold off. The test said results in 2 minutes but mine was instantaneous! a big fat blue line! i freaked out ran to see the housekeeper to double check i had it right and she was like you are pregnant. I told my friend i was staying with and she was so sweet and happy for me. Set up a doctors appointment with her ob/gyn and made me feel so much better about everything.
Then i kept it a secret for the rest of my trip form my DP because i just didn't know how to break it to him on the phone. We had so many plans and a baby wasn't really talked about except by him to say he didn't want one.
The day i got home my DP and i were talking and i told him and burst into tears because i was so scared he would be mad at me. It took a couple of days for him to warm to the idea but then he became all excited talking to my belly etc. Then he said he wished he had of been with me when i took the test, he went and bought one from the store so we could take it together, that was the moment it felt real like we were in it together ahh:valentine:
ARRGGHH!!!! How do you get your bub to go to sleep in a cot? We put Chais in his cot for the first time tonight as he's finally outgrown his basinett. (Not too bad at 8 months, since DD only lasted 2 or 3!:laughing:)
Just a bit of back ground, he's a very good boy going to sleep. Put him in his sleeping bag, give him his dummy, put him in basinet between his roll thing on his side, say good night, turn the light off & he goes off to sleep. Well I did everything the same minus the basinet part. He's lying there in his roll looking around, stetching his arms out & just checking it all out. Said goodnight, light off & went out.
About 5 mins later I hear 'happy' squeals, go back in & he's got out of his roll, & is down the other end playing with the bars! Put him back in his roll, say goodnight, go back out & all is quiet for about 10 mins or so, so I think he must've gone to sleep.
Then I hear this funny noise over the monitor, so I go back in, he's got out of his roll again, crawled down the end, dragged a plastic bag through the end & was playing with it! (note to self, I won't be leaving bags within arms reach again)
So once again, I put him back, go out & so far it's quiet so not sure what's going on in there. I'm thinking it will be a long night! :hair:
How long did it take for your bubs to get used to the cot if they started in a basinet?
BB- :hugs: for Jacob. He sounds like he was very brave.
Lambkin -That ring is beautiful & as MOS said, so totally you. Love the casting also :goodvibes:
I'll answer the finding out question for this bub. We were trying & I was hoping, but I'd tested & got a :bfn:. A couple of days later I just had a 'feeling' & got up in the morning without telling DF what I was doing & tested. It came up very light & I just got the biggest smile on my face so when I went in he knew straight away something was up. I showed him the test & we were just looking at each other in disbelief that it'd happened 1st go. We were super excited & he wanted to ring his family, but I made him wait until the next week after I got a blood test to double check. It was also extremely early for me, maybe 3 or 4 weeks.
Hello all!
I've pureed some chicken breast but haven't given it yet. Will give it a couple of weeks I think.
How do you cook the chicken? do you just brown it in a pan as usual or is there a special way for bubs?(Steam?? surely not:barf:), also, isnt there some food poisoning rule about refreezing and thawing cooked meat?
But I don't want to move him and wake him. What would you mums do?
i move him, otherwise I cannot get it out of my mind.
Just wondring if any other bubs have said any words?? .
Liam seems to have added a sound like "Muuuummm" to his repetoire but only when hes whinging! He's also started saying "ha ha ha" and making tutting or clicking sounds with his tongue.:)
BB - sorry to hear about poor Jacob, but what a brave boy for not crying!:hugs:
Lambkin - LOVE the ring, its just gorgeous!
Tell us about when you found out you were PG. Was it a surprise? Where were you? What were the first feelings, etc?.
Well, obviously mine wasnt a surprise. I was booked in to have the blood test on the Monday morning, but of course couldnt wait that long! I did the test on Friday morning, the ones which say Pregnant or Not Pregnant (let me tell you, theres nothing worse than seeing the words Not Pregnant when youve been trying for a couple of years), and anyway it came up Pregnant. I just felt calm and ready.... and then panicky and wildly excited!!! Showed DH and he refused to share my excitement until we received the results of the blood test:rolleyes: so I was over the moon all weekend, and DH was trying not to get his hopes up too much. Then when the results came in we both went a bit mad!
where the heck do you get these things from??You guys are teasing me I really want one now it sounds great!
?
I got mine from Safeway, just in the baby section.
Have a great night everyone, and take care:flowerz:
Hi all,
too much to catch up on all personals but I'll try!
ems :hugs:, sorry to hear about your nan.
lambkin- love your ring it is gorgeous. very unique
re: meat, I haven't tried cooking or anything yet but was planning to boil or steam the chicken and probably use spray to cook any beef- a suggestion from my CHN re: beef is to be careful with mince as a lot of butchers add stuff to it, so apparently better off cooking a small bit of steak and then puree.
Iuse both home cooked and jars or RG when I am out as it is easier.
MOS re: your question, I tested the week before and was negative (it was when my period was due-but only due to my cycle with the pill- I really had no idea). then I went away for a work conference and felt like c&*p on the way home in the car. thought I would take the test when I got home to simply eliminate that as the reason for feeling ordinary. so my DH wasn't home when I took it as I thought I was being silly...well then I took the test, forgot about it, then went back and got the shock of my life, just sat on the loo in excited, but S^&tscared disbelief. Then I had to wait for DH to get home, of course that night he had to ring me on the way home...didn't want to tell him on the phone though. He walked in the door, looked at me and said "you're pregnant". we just sat on the couch going wow etc and did that for a few days, we were both a bit shocked I think as we thought it would take longer..it was exciting telling everyone though...we told most people about the 8 week mark- were going away with friends and half of them guessed anyway as I was not drinking. we thought we were abojut 10 weeks at the time, but when we had the first u/s found out that we weren't as far along as we thought.
PIp's been teething the last couple of days so has been grumbly and was pretty grumbly with mum last night, while I went to the football with a friend. still can't feel anything though. cause she didn't sleep at my mums we had a sleep in together this morning, before I spent all day cleaning (well it felt like it in between playing, feeding etc!
goss I can:ecomcity:
BTW well done on those bubs that can wave :yelclap:, Pip does sometimes. Oh last night, mum was holding her and their dog (who is a bit ridgeback type bitsa, but is a softie) came over to her, Pip squealed and then started crying, has never done that before,???
trying to decide what to do tomorrow..if it is hot might take Pip to the pool:yes:
hope people's bubs sleep well for you all, chat soon
loe these stories girls....will have to think of some more questions when this one is done...makes me feel all sentimental and warm and squishy :laughing: going too far this time
I have a question...how did you all meet your DH/DPs? We can wait until after the current question has been asked if you want :D

I am friends with his best friend. Hadn't met my DP because he had been teaching english in japan and i had been in the states then we both filled in for his best friends netball team and the rest is history!! Took about 6 weeks for us to start offically dating but we were both set to go back overseas a few months later and we both cancelled our trips, lucky couldn't imagine my life being any different.
Lambkin did you win the portacot on the babies galore website?

Kyles re above, you may have missed this earlier post.
I got a free range chicken breast (no steriods etc) not frozen and cooked it that same day. So it's okay then to freeze and then thaw. It's when you buy it frozen, you can't then thaw, cook, freeze then thaw again.
kotakai I'm interested in answers to your problem too as Summer is still in her boori cradle and is just about outgrown it now so need to introduce her to her own room and cot. Gosh I'll miss her in our room. Love being able to roll over and see her sweet sleeping face :cloud9:
Elliot babbles.. dadada, mamama, nanana, popopop, but they don't tend to say words that have any meaning behind them until they're about one. :)
Thats what i ment, kara doesnt babble like that, she just makes lots of noise.
I too enjoyed reading stories too, so how about this one? Tell us about when you found out you were PG. Was it a surprise? Where were you? What were the first feelings, etc?
I was really really sick, hadnt moved off the couch and had a really sore throat. went to the docs and had a blood test and guess what, was preg. had a ultrasound where they found nothing and was told "dont hope for anything it doesnt look good". a week later i was admitted to hospital with suspected appendecitis and they found a healthy 8wk old bub. so i had a arrange of mixed emotions.
I have a question...how did you all meet your DH/DPs? We can wait until after the current question has been asked if you want :D
I went to visit my sis one day (called her just before i got to her place and she said ive got some friends over) and he was there. they had been friends for 9yrs at this point and she had mentioned everyone else in his family but id never herd of him and vise versa.
How long did it take for your bubs to get used to the cot if they started in a basinet?
I put Kara in her cot for her day sleeps and kept telling her it was bed. she cot used to it pretty quickly. altho when she wakes during the night if i cant get her back to sleep i bring her into bed with us.

Hmmm I woke up this morning thinking about this.
It's okay to defrost raw meat, cook it, re-freeze it and thaw later, but not to defrost cooked meat, then re-freeze and thaw again right?
Not sure of our plans today. DP back at work. Might go visit mum's.
Summer woke up with new sounds today 'g' and 'k' add that to her 'v' and 'b' and rasberries she's sounding so adorable :goodvibes:
Hmmm I woke up this morning thinking about this.
It's okay to defrost raw meat, cook it, re-freeze it and thaw later, but not to defrost cooked meat, then re-freeze and thaw again right?
k8y, on page 51 of Annabel's book there's a recipe for chicken with sweet potato and apple and it says it's OK for freezing, so you must be right... I'd just follow her instructions but buy fresh, so you're cooking from fresh and then freezing and thawing.
OK well I met my DH through a friend. I'd recently broken up from a long term BF (3 and a half years), was only 20 years old (it was the year 2000) and wanted to sit at home moping on a Friday night. So my bestie called me and TOLD ME I was going to the movies. Her BF was going and a bunch of peole he worked with, friends, etc. There were about 20 people there.... get this... to see "The Wog Boy"! :laughing: We got there and my bestie saw DH and said "Look there's Anthony, he's really funny".... we chatted, he told me as we were walking into the movie that he can't sit next to other men in movie theatres, so is it OK if he sat next to me. When we got out, 6 of us went to have a coffee, he helf my hand under the table, then we were chatting as we were walking back to the car, the rest of our friends walking in front of us and he pulled me around a corner and kissed me.
The next night he was at my bestie's place as it was her brother's party so I was trying to go over there but she kept on putting me off. It turns out she thought he had not so good intentions and was trying to stop me from getting hurt again. In the end, she made sure he was serious and then asked me to come around. The rest is history..... My parent's moved to Brissynot long after, I moved and rented a place closer to him, we were inseperable until the night before our wedding 4 years later - we only spent a handful of nights apart over the 4 years and none since.... Aaaahhhhh. And I still feel the same as I did back then. He's at work today and I miss him... :(
Hi everyone
Have been MIA for days, so too much to catch up on.
Ems - Im so sorry re your Nanna passing away, hugs to you.
Did I tell you, we got the 3 days CC we need at a council run CC centre one street away from DD1 school? It looks really lovely, we are doing a test run this morning. As its run by council, DH thinks he can salary sacrifice the fees as he is employed by the same council, lets hope so, will make a big difference in the cost. Its very cheap though, $51 per day, but that eats into my part time wage, but Miss C just wont sit there any more, she wants constant attention, which is understandable.
All house guests gone as of this morning, Im so glad to have our house back to ourselves!
Back soon, got to check a recipe I might do for tea.

Morning all
So much to catch up on with just one day missing :laughing:
BB we are from adelaide, Your little man is so brave stiches are the worse. My 7 yr old got bitten by a dog when he was 4 on the face and had to have them on his cheek i think i cried more than him.
K8y re my friend he has to go see a cadiologist and have a few tests done they didnt keep him in hospital that long but it was definately a wake up call (he is over weight and smokes and drinks) so alot of changing for him which is a good thing.
:yelclap: for all the babies that are clapping and waving. Ive been trying to teach hunter to clap but he just stares and laughs when i do it but you can tell he is taking it all in.
I love these questions but im a little embarressed by my reaction when i first found out i was prego with hunter. I had started off 2007 on a huge health kick and had lost 20kg by july and feeling pretty chuffed with myself and then as soon as i fell preg i just knew it straight away and was so angry at myself (note to one self the pull out manovouer is not a good contraception tmi sry ) Anyway when we went to the drs to confirm in my oh had the hugest grin on his face while i just sat there and bawled my eyes out. It took me 4mth to get over myself and when i finally felt him move inside me is when i feel inlove with the idea of another one. Funny thing was Hunter came out with a head full of black hair when my other two were snow white haired kids so i blamed that on my mood for the first few mths.
I love the story about how my OH and i met. We went to the same high school but he was in 3 grades higher than me and i didnt think he ever noticed me but when i was 14 i had a bf and i was at my step sisters house and she goes to me you are going to marry that boy and i laughed and said no way im going to marry damian. well 4 and a half yrs later i was at a club with some friends and i saw him there so i walked up to him ( a little smashed) and just kissed him a week later he rang me up and asked me to go on a date we were inseperable since then i also got prego 6mths later with our first. so now every time our anniversary comes up i know how many yrs weve been together by just adding one yr onto our daughters age :laughing:
I always tell him i wished i had said that i was going to marry orlando bloom or brad pitt
:laughing: Hey that's awesome kelektable! What a great story - must have been trashed to just go up and kiss someone! Floozy! :D
And don't be embarrassed about the way you found out you were PG and how you reacted. The main thing is that you love your little bubba now...
MY BIL is here. He's taking the IL's to a funeral today. Is it bad form to use the ":smiliedance:" symbol here?! :D It's far away so they'll be gone most of the day me-thinks... won't use the ":smiliedance:" symbol then... it wouldn't be nice.
Yay sk6 for the CC. I hope it works out and SS works out for your DH, etc...
Best get going.... have a fun day all.
I have lists for each day I'm that scatter-brained! Today's list:
Lacquer shadow box I painted
Sort out papers from house and land packages we looked at (dreaming!) yesterday
Do forms for driving history and mail
Do washing
Make another batch of broccoli for Sam
Make veggies for DH's lunch tomorrow
Make juice for us tomorrow
Read a chapter of DH's book he wants me to read
Let's see how far I get through the list today...
Morning everyone :wave:
It's my DD's birthday today, she's 7! I can't believe how fast the time goes.
Well my night was slightly better than I thought. He woke up at 12.30, 3 & 6. I guess it's a learning process all over again. I'll feeling very :sleeping: though, so I hope it doesn't take him too long to start sleeping through again.
I've known my DF for about 15 years. We were in the same group of friends, but both had other partners. When they ended we were together for a few years about 10 or 11 years ago. After breaking up, we lost contact. I was then out at the shops one day & literally just bumped into him after not seeing him for about 8 years. We were both thankfully single & we've been inseperable since.
I was overseas in america, 3 weeks into my 2 month trip. I was so tired but just thought it was jet lag and as i was was still recovering from being held up i was on all sorts of sleep medication at home but was just trying to not have anything on my trip as it was a relaxing stress free break. So basically i was coming of sleep meds and thought this was all just a side affect. Then my boobs were so sore and i just knew, YNKWIM? so i bought a 2 test kit and was going to wait until the mornig as they say thats the best time but couldn't hold off. The test said results in 2 minutes but mine was instantaneous! a big fat blue line! i freaked out ran to see the housekeeper to double check i had it right and she was like you are pregnant. I told my friend i was staying with and she was so sweet and happy for me. Set up a doctors appointment with her ob/gyn and made me feel so much better about everything.
Then i kept it a secret for the rest of my trip form my DP because i just didn't know how to break it to him on the phone. We had so many plans and a baby wasn't really talked about except by him to say he didn't want one.
The day i got home my DP and i were talking and i told him and burst into tears because i was so scared he would be mad at me. It took a couple of days for him to warm to the idea but then he became all excited talking to my belly etc. Then he said he wished he had of been with me when i took the test, he went and bought one from the store so we could take it together, that was the moment it felt real like we were in it together ahh:valentine:
Ohh I remember the tiredness. Its insane that pure lethargy you get. It didnt come until After I found out though.
You guys probably know I didnt get pregnant in the best of circumstances. I was due.. a few days over maybe, but that wasnt too unusal for me..Then I was out drinking with an old friend Saturday night. Everyone was having tequilla shots. Usually Im first in for that, but I only had a few drinks and it was.. kind of like I knew and I just had a strong urge NOT to drink. so I went home early. That was my first inkling
The next day my boobs/nipples were kinda sore. I never get this even with pms so thats when I kinda thought yeah, **** Im pregnant.. I took the test and it was positive.. i was in shock. Scared. Every sort of emotion.
OK well I met my DH through a friend. I'd recently broken up from a long term BF (3 and a half years), was only 20 years old (it was the year 2000) and wanted to sit at home moping on a Friday night. So my bestie called me and TOLD ME I was going to the movies.

Aaaahhhhh. And I still feel the same as I did back then. He's at work today and I miss him... :(
I love this!
I love all your stories. The warm and fuzzy sort
:( Me, Im all on my lonesome . . . . . :no:
Don't be embarrassed Kelectable. DH was much more excited than I was when we found out I was pregnant. He had a HUUUGE grin on his face and was so happy and I was like "****, I'm going to have to give birth, and I'm going to get fat." Then I spent the next week in Europe upset that I couldn't drink wine anymore, then we got bumped to first class on the way back to the US and I couldn't drink champagne. Said, "I should have waited to get back to the States to take the damn test!" :laughing: Coincidentally, about 4 days before we found out I was pregnant, we had got completely hammered with a couple of Aussies we met on the train from Pisa to Rome. It was a couple of days later that I did the math and thought, "What if I'm pregnant?"
DH and I met when we both lived in Atlanta, a city of about 5 million people. We met online, on a dating site, and it turned out we lived in the same apartment complex. He had just moved there about 2 months before me. Funny thing is I actually had no interest in him when he contacted me through this dating site, and one day he caught me online and asked me to lunch, so I said sure. Had no other plans. And we moved in together 6 months later. My friends thought he was a good "transition guy" b/c I'd just broken up with a guy who was way too serious. I had every intention of going on a lot of first dates from this dating website, and he was the second guy I met. I was actually talking to 2 other guys and believe it or not they were all named Michael. It was really bizarre.

Nice babywez that sounds like you were meant to be. How bizarre living in the same building but meeting online the net is just a wonderful invention.
Well finally re signed up to the gym again so i can start doing swimming again and what great timing its going to be 41 tomorrow so get a work out while cooling down :D
My oh is working away tonight I hate being on my own every creek in the house makes me jump such a big wooss.
And haha MOS I was a huge floozy the night my oh and i met it was so out of character for me but i think it was just the universe telling us we were meant to be together and i just needed that push (thankyou alcohol) to get me moving :laughing:
If you are somewhere where its hot hope you are keeping cool. I might go and call my gf and hint for her to invite me for a swim
:laughing: kelectable, just think if you hadn't drank that night it may never have happened. So meant to be. What a coincidence too babywez! Oh bugger it, we're ALL meant to be! :D
DH and I decided we were meant to be together too as we should have known each other on a number of occasions. Firstly, we met through my bestie as her BF worked with my DH. On top of that, her cousin lived across the road from DH so I may have still ended up meeting him through her another way. DH's brother also worked for my step dad in a car dealership at the time AND DH knew one of the DJ's at the community radio station I worked at for a few years. DH actually came INTO the station one day but I must not have been there. So our lives were connected in so many ways.
He always said though, that since 2 of his single friends were at the movies that night, he had to make his move fast otherwise one of his friends might have expressed interest in me first and then he would have had to step aside out of respect... I told him both of those guys are NOTHING compared to him so it wouldn't have happened.
And him kissing me was so not in his character either. He still marvels to this day as to how he got me because he said he never got girls like me. He said he expected me to say "F*** of W0G"! :laughing: Lucky for him I never did! :thumbsup: And lucky for me too... and Sam of course!
Oh I'm rambling now... The BIL has come over with his 2 boys, sat on the lounge, put the cartoon channel on and now HE'S sleeping, SNORING loudly on the lounge. All within about 5 mins of arriving. The IL's were napping on the lounge... the FIL is still asleep but the MIL is now running around doing things. There's no room for her on the lounge now anyway as her son has taken it and started snoozing. Watching from the outside, it looks very funny... and sad too as the IL's were so chilled. The BIL comes around with his kids so he doesn't have to watch and feed them. Then he falls asleep on our lounge. That's what DH says anyway and I kind of agree.
Took lara for her needlesyesterday, late i know but i hate doing it and keep putting it off. While i wish i had of put it off a bit longer, got in to see doc and he spends 5 mins looking at her book and i said "whats the problem" it was like he didn't know what to give her. He said that she didn't get a dose of something that she should have at 4months. So he would need to give her 3 and then i'd have to go back again in a few weeks. GRRR so mad then he said would you like me to double check on our computer system, i was like do you need to ask! So then he comes back saying she will need the 3, dh was in waiting room with Chaise so i got him to come in as i was a bit worried that this D### head doc didn't know what he was doing. So she definately didn't get the one she was suppose to get so he was going to give her 3, then he says actually i only have to give her 1 and then he gets 2 needles ready. I was like WTF do u know what you are doing..dh wouldn't let him jab her till he had explained what he was doing. In the end she needed 2 and is now completely up to date. Thank goodness thats over!
I forgot about DS's needles too, he got to 6 months and I thought I better take him and then realised that I'd forgotten the 4 month ones. I had to got back in 3 weeks and have the next lot. It's apparently for the Rotavirus, the 3 doses have to be given before they are 32 weeks of age apparently for it to be effective.
I too enjoyed reading stories too, so how about this one? Tell us about when you found out you were PG. Was it a surprise? Where were you? What were the first feelings, etc?
I think I've told htis before but I'll tell it again, LOL. We were not trying, DH had his boy and his girl and that was it, he didn't want anymore. Anyway I was on the Pill, but I got a kidney infection and was on anti biotics for 2 weeks, when they finished I still had the kidney infection, so I rang to make at appt with the GP (typical couldn't get in for a week) so ended up at the emergency dept at the hospital 3 days later as the pain was unbelieveable, felt like someone was sticking a knife in my back and twisting it!
Anyway they took blood tests etc at the hospital and a urine test and told me that I had a kidney infection (which I already knew) and they would need to do an ultrsound of my kidney's just to check they were OK, that was fine. Then the Dr asked me when was the last U/S I'd had while pregnant, I told him that my youngest was 18months old and I was about 20 weeks preg with her the last U/S I'd had, and he replied "no, not that pregnancy, this one!" and I was like "what one?!?!?" LOL, you could have knocked me over with a feather! DH wasn't there either, he was at home with the kids, so I rang him and told him that they'd found something wrong with me and one thing they could fix (the kidney infeciton) and one would be with us for the rest of our lives. He certainly took a while to warm up to the idea, (he was scared that he wouldn't have enough love for anther one as he already had a boy and girl, LOL, silly man)
I have a question...how did you all meet your DH/DPs? We can wait until after the current question has been asked if you want :D
We met in the Firebrigade. I'd joined the CFA when I was down at Phillip Island, and transferred up to Ballarat when I shifted back, he was the fun loud life of the party guy. Always good for a laugh, and a gentleman too. My car had been crashed into and I was walking to Fire training each week, when he found that out he started giving me a lift home and them picking me up too. We'd sit talking for ages in the car out the front of the house. but he never even made a move on me. So I started going to the pub where he bounced as wel, I would be there all night talking to him, and he STILL DIDN'T get the hint, LOL, so finally one night when he dropped me home I leant over and planted one on him. (totally out of character for me) We've been together since!
Morning everyone :wave:

Don't be embarrassed Kelectable. DH was much more excited than I was when we found out I was pregnant.

wow what a coincedence...one of my friends was dating 3 ANdrews online...now been married to ANdrew no 3 for 4 years!!
fra99le they are great stories!
happy birthday DD kotakai...wow 7.
kelectable, I kind of know what you mean I lost about 15kg the year before we got married and so whilst I was happy to be pregnant it was annoying to think of all the hard work gone...now gotta do it again....though all worth it!
well my meeting DH story, he did the same uni course as my bestie and I knew him kind of but we had never really spoke before O ball at uni in second year...we just started talking and spent the rest of the night together, I was very drunk and went home with him (nothing happened though!!!) and couldn't believe I had done it the next day...then it took another month together properly, but my bestie put on a party basically just for us...I got there after work and the only spare seat was guess what...next to him...and then the rest is history...I have followed him to Sydney, Bathurst, ALbury Melbourne and am now back home so he must do something right:valentine:.funny thing was before uni started, I told my bestie to organise a pilot BF for me...she did just took a bit longer than expected. I had also decided at the beginning of uni that year that I wasn't going to have anything to do with guys that year....lasted 5 days!
we had a nice day today, went for a walk and did the shopping and I pulled out Pip's mini pool and we splashed in that, got her to wear her sunnies for afew minutes too...got a couple of really cute photoswill post on FB soon.
anyway going to cook dinner for myself whilst she has her nap.
happybirthday to Dakota, kotakai!!!!!
My story re DP is very similar to babywez. My last partner I was with for 7 years. I was single and living in my own place. Wanted to do the whole date bunches of guys but wanted to be able to choose them online, rather then nightclubs/bars etc. It was a bit nerve wracking but DP was only the second guy I'd met and we hit it off so well that after knowing him for three days I'd cancelled the 2 dates I'd had organised with other guys as we both just knew this was it.
Our first date was dinner/movies. He picked me up. I was peeking out the window as he came to the door and I thought oh my he looks far too young for me (like 26) but he was 31 at the time. Just ageing well lol.
We drove to dinner in his hilux and I noticed a huntsman spider on his dash so we frantically had to pull into a side street and jump out so we could get it out but it disappeared. We laughed so much :laughing: He had prawn fettucine and I had chicken risotto (easy to eat without making mess of your face lol). Then we saw a movie (You, Me and Dupree). Then we went for a walk along Kangaroo Point cliffs in Bris City then he drove me home. He was going to watch the AFL at the gabba the next day and texted me from there wanting to come have dinner with him again that night.
A week later he had to go up to Airlie Beach for work for a week and it was THE longest week of my life waiting for him to get back.
Oh it was so exciting!
Definately! :laughing: I'm dreading those teenage years. My Mum tells me it'll be payback for all the things I did!
How's Miss C going? Is she back to herself?
She is doing really well, thanks for asking.
Love all the stories girls, will tell ours tommorrow during work.

Hello.........
Busy day today,everyday is busy so what am I saying :rolleyes:
Started the day with Jake NOT wanting to go to CC I got so angry :devil6:...........he goes to family daycare and every mon its becoming a struggle to get him dressed & get him there,he says...No go to Mels"......awwwwwwww its so hard....I need the break & anyway I have Casey to look after,he would be fine if he went to the same CC as his little friend,but he will go to kinda next year & none of his friends are going to the same school as him....Im just so over it...it takes forever to get out the door!
When hes there he is fine a perfect angel...
Just getting there is the problem....Oh the joys
so then I rushed to do the grocerys as I had a chiro appt late morn another $45 for 10mins...crack crack.......wont go back,Im still sore @ night but maybe physio would be better Im going to try DH's parents guy he is really good.
I then picked up Casey,came home shoved some lunch down my throat,my G/friends from mums grp were coming over so I made some piklets then I washed the dog,vacummed,did the dishes........& have just made dinner for the boys as im having a WW meal as I have been naughty today:D now I've just sat down.
So i am looking forward to bed!
How DH and I met.............
I left NZ in June 2000,I actually left my ex @ the airport....it was time for me to move on.....he wasnt ready to let go but he did,My Dad was living in a remote town called Meekatharra it is 8 hours north of Perth~ Inland so very hot...red dirt country...flys galore
My brother was also staying there so I was so excited to be catching up with everyone....and I was single hadn't been in years ;) I was the "fresh" meat in town...hehehehe
My bro was a Sparky in the town,I worked at the motel my dad managed..... now DH worked along side my bro.......I used to spy on him when he used to do work around the motel,I plucked up the courage to talk to him,think we were at the "local" so of course I'd had a few....
we got along really well,I fell in love straight away & knew he " was the one" :kiss:I had my 21st party so I invited him to that he nearly didn't come,but im glad he did as we've been together ever since......my bro didn't like this idea as he thought I had taken his mate away from him......hahaha well I did! but he was happy for us,DH asked for my hand in marriage 6months later,I didn't think my dad would remember as they were all pi$$ed...but he did,it did take him 2years to propose thou,we got engaged in 02 & got married Oct 04......we planned both boys....thats another story so stay tuned....:laughing:
A few weeks ago I told DH that maybe we'd DTD more often if he came home, showered and got Nick to take a nap. TBH, I didn't think that would ever work out. And today, it did. So I was trying to keep my word, and Nick woke up and I said, "What now?" He said, "Be quick" but it is impossible to do that while your bub is screaming in the next room. Needless to say, it was over before it began! But prior to that, DH gave me a da#n hickey!!!!!!!! I have tennis and mums group tomorrow!! I feel like a 16 year old...might have to dig around in my closet for a scarf!! :o
Hello.........
Busy day today,everyday is busy so what am I saying :rolleyes:
Started the day with Jake NOT wanting to go to CC I got so angry :devil6:...........he goes to family daycare and every mon its becoming a struggle to get him dressed & get him there,he says...No go to Mels"......awwwwwwww its so hard....I need the break & anyway I have Casey to look after,he would be fine if he went to the same CC as his little friend,but he will go to kinda next year & none of his friends are going to the same school as him....Im just so over it...it takes forever to get out the door!
When hes there he is fine a perfect angel...
Just getting there is the problem....Oh the joys
so then I rushed to do the grocerys as I had a chiro appt late morn another $45 for 10mins...crack crack.......wont go back,Im still sore @ night but maybe physio would be better Im going to try DH's parents guy he is really good.
I then picked up Casey,came home shoved some lunch down my throat,my G/friends from mums grp were coming over so I made some piklets then I washed the dog,vacummed,did the dishes........& have just made dinner for the boys as im having a WW meal as I have been naughty today:D now I've just sat down.
So i am looking forward to bed!
:sleeping:
:laughing: Must have been all the romantic talk babywez! Very funny! What is he - 16 years old?! (copied off your FB page!). :D
Another internet couple then, k8y? Wow, I thought only psychos and serial killers went on those things! But lovely REAL nice normal people obviously do too. How nice it didn't take too many frogs until you found your prince. ;)
BB your story is very sweet too. I love hearing all of these stories. When we're done, we should think of another! :thumbsup:
IL's are out visiting someone in hospy... house tidy, lunches done and juices... and I'm having a coffee. Mmmmmmm....

Thank you for all your lovely comments re: the ring! I'm glad you think it's 'me'. I was scared I'd get something that was totally NOT me because I'd get caught up in all the bling fun. Eee.
And yes that is my name on the babies galore website but I haven't heard anything from them. I assume I have won if they published my name though ?? Hmm.
Okay so how DP and I met. Totally embarrassing and nerdy, but we met online. In an attempt to try and get over a very messy relationship (if you can even call it that!) and even messier breakup, I decided to try online dating. I had tonnes of dates, met some really lovely people, and some incredibly freaky people.. omg.. we won't even go there. But yes. DP emailed me and we chatted for about a month on MSN before we met up. He was sooo shy and quiet and totally not my type, but we got along really well as mates and I thought we could be friends. The first time we 'met', I went to his place first. Very unsafe, I know, but it was the middle of the day and I knew he lived in a flat so there would be other people around. Hehe. We went and got some Indian takeaway and we had a picnic on his loungeroom floor and ate with our hands and it was very lovely. I got NOO vibes from him whatsoever. I didn't think he was interested at all, but it was just the shyness I guess. I had to snog HIM on our second date.
And that is that!
GREAT question!!
And the other question about finding out when I was pregnant. DP groped my boob when we were sitting on the sofa and I went "Ow!" and we just looked at each other and I said "Oh cr@p.. I bet I'm pregnant." The only time my boobs had eevver hurt other than that was the last time I had been pregnant.
I took about 8 pregnancy tests I think, just to be sure. :laughing: But when we found out, I was only like.. 13 days pregnant I think so it was reaaaally early and very stressful in those early days for various reasons! We said we'd think about what our options were, but we never really considered giving him up, I don't think. Deep down we couldn't have done it, and I am SO glad that things have turned out the way they did even if it was awful in the beginning.
Another good question :D I love it. More, more!
I love reading everyone's answers.
love to you all x
hi everyone!
Wow, Im loving all these meeting DH stories! Im impressed that online romances can work - I only ever seem to hear of the ones where one person loses themselves all together and flies overseas, only to be completely ripped off by the other person.
How did I meet DH? Well, its another drunken nightclub story here Im afraid. Had recently broken up with the biggest jerk ever and went out with the girls not expecting anything to happen. DH was a friend of a friend, and I thought he was soooo cute - wearing a pink shirt and these beige pants with white socks and brown shoes - well, come on who wouldnt be interested:laughing:. We got chatting - hes English and Id recently been to the UK so we had heaps to talk about. Then, he maintains that I said "So, do you wanna dance or what?"....I do not remember saying anything of the sort:laughing: however, we did have our first smooch on the dancefloor..... the song was "Love is All Around" by Wet Wet Wet (well it was 1994), in fact we had the same song as one of our bridal waltz songs.
Todays meant to be a stinker, so we are spending the day indoors with all the blinds closed. We are in the process of getting measures and quotes to get Holland blinds all over the house.
Thanks for the info regarding cooking meat btw
Hope you are all well and have a good Tuesday Take care!:flowerz:
Any bubs not sitting up???? Casey can only sit for a few seconds to a min then falls over....but I suppose he is only 7months old.
Mine isn't either BB. I can sit him up and balance him but then he reaches for something within seconds and topples forward. So no, he is yet to sit un-assisted. :no: Mine turned 7 months a few days ago.
And yes that is my name on the babies galore website but I haven't heard anything from them. I assume I have won if they published my name though ?? Hmm.
:laughing: Another internet nerd couple! :D Only joking... just goes to show it happens more often than I previously thought. How sweet too - eating indian on the floor with hands. A little romantic I think!
And if your name's on the website, call them. The number's on their website. Their head office is in Taren Point. When I won they called me and it took a few days for my name to hit their website. Maybe they've had trouble contacting you? Well done though! Do you remember what you put to win? I'm entering my sister now as I doubt they're going to let me win something again. So I enter for my sister and I told her if she wins and doesn't want it, she can sell it herself.
Got my wax this morning and went to check out a store near there that sells second hand designer clothes. Really good stuff VERY cheap. But they are closed all of Jan. GGrrr. You'd think they'd include that on their website alongside the trading hours! :hair:
Came home and the IL's are gone. So YAY! :smiliedance: The MIL has physio this arvo at 2:00 so they will be a while. Might chill at home.
I tried to make sweet potato yesterday and the same thing happened as with the potato a few weeks back. No matter how much water I added back into it, it went like thick GLUE. So I've expressed a little this morning and might attempt the normal potato again shortly. Fingers crossed! :fingerscrossed:
:laughing: Kyles I like your story too! :yelclap: We needed more "drunken nightclub" stories! I would have thought that would have been a popular one but the internet nerds are more popular so far. ;)
Careful who you call an "internet nerd" miss 2,600 posts! ;)
I had tennis today and saw a boy who had come along with his nan, obviously still on school hols. My guess is he was about 5, and he had no one to play with :( When I grew up at the tennis courts, lots of other people had kids around. Anyway, it made me realise I don't want Nicklas to be an only child and stuck at the tennis courts by himself :( My depo shot runs out in February. Definitely goingg to forego the next round, or any other bc for that matter.
MOS - re the spuds and sweet potato, you arent wizzing them, are you? As the starch reacts to the wizzing, hence the glue. You need to mush them with a potato masher, or push through a sieve, or if you have a moule (cant spell) thats the best to use.
must be something about the name Kylie and drunken meetings since we are the only two soo far Kyles!!
MOS I have no problem with my sweet potato??I just use thw fake bamix on it and it is fine.
just had mums group- we are trying to organise a night out should be good a couple of drinks:smiliedance:
babywez- ha a hickey how funny!

Mine isn't either. Started to get worried as apparently they should be sitting up at 7 months...
How we met - I had been dating someone from work for a little while and it hadn't worked out. Broke up with him and wanted a night out with the girlfriends. But at the last minute they didn't want to go out. Wasn't too happy about that!
Sam was a friend of my BF. I had seen him around, had a few moments but nothing eber happened. Well since I had split up with the ex, Sam had been calling me every Friday night to go out. I always said no. This night I knew if he called I would say yes.
So we went out and have now been together 11 years married for 6. The funny thing is that first night he asked me where we were headed. I didn't understand his question and said just down the road. Seems he knew better than me that things were going to get serious.
How we found out about Michael - It took us 14 months to conceive Kirilly so we thought we better start cracking if the same thing was going to happen with the next one. Well 2 months later on my first day back at work after 12 months off I found at we were pregnant! I think I was in shock for the first 12 weeks! I was not expecting such a close gap.
how we found out about dylan; well we were trying for a bubba and we were testing about every 3 days lol in the first month! if it had taken a while i woulda had to buy shares in home preg tests. so anyway it came up really light the second line, i was so scared my hand was shaking and i brought it out to dh and we hid behind a wall in the dining room as other kids didnt know about it and he gave me the hugest hug and i started bawling. darren says whats wrong i thought we wanted a baby? and i said i do but im terrified:laughing: cried my eyes out. poor dh couldnt understand he thought i was gonna be so happy, which i was just a little delayed lol. the reality of being pregnant scared the **** outa me

Chais isn't sitting either & is no where near it. He's 8 months now.
My depo shot runs out in February. Definitely goingg to forego the next round, or any other bc for that matter.
Oooh, very exciting :smiliedance:

:laughing: You got me!!! And best of luck with TTC. Are you still BF? Sorry, I lose track of who does what, etc. And has AF returned yet? Or does AF not return with the depo shot?
I find it hard to think we're "TTC" as I really don't feel like we are because of AF doing a runner on me never to be seen again... :o

Oh yes I most certainly am whizzing them! I've just put a batch on to steam so I will be sure NOT to whizz them this time. Will try sieve. Also have BM. Thanks heaps! :thumbsup:
I don't know what I'd do without you guys. I would be LOST and I feel like I'm actually a good mum. I'm kind of proud of the way things have gone with Sam. I think I'm doing well... and I doubt I would be anywhere NEAR as confident as I am now had it not been for you guys, both during my PG and since. So... a big thank you to you all. :hugs:
I bought Sam a pair of Baby Banz today for $17.95. I got the dark green pair and they look sooooo cute on him. I took a few pics so will add to FB a little later.
Best go and finish juicing oranges, mashing potato, ironing, and bringing in washing (this arvo's "list"!). Ooh one more thing! You know how forgetful I am? Well on my way out this arvo to go to the baby shop to get Sam's sunnies, I drove out of the driveway with no shoes on. Had to drive back up and quickly jump out and get my shoes! So I really really need these lists! :D

babywez so you will be TTC from February?
Mine isn't either. Started to get worried as apparently they should be sitting up at 7 months...
I thought it was 8 months :confused:
Summer not sitting up either, but she stands very well for ages. Just have to hold her hands. Still not rolling from tummy to back, just back to tummy. I think she just can't be bothered trying. Wants to wait till she is just up and running :laughing:
Sums at CC today. Dropped her off at 9am picked her up at 2.45pm, stopped in for a booby feed at 12pm though as still not taking the bottle :rolleyes: the CC ladies say she's very stubborn but we'll all perservere, it's very trying though. I'm very over it atm.
So while she was there I did a few errands and cleaned the house from top to bottom. It's now sparkling! (love having a clean house)
DP going to cricket tonight with mates at the gabba so I rented out Baby Mama to watch as tv free to air is dreadful atm. Has anyone seen it?

I am not sure we'll be actively TTC starting Feb, but we won't be doing anything to prevent it, either. Which is how we ended up with Nicklas. DH wants to wait until we're back from the states to really start TTC.
I have seen Baby Mama and I really enjoyed it. I am a big Tina Fey fan tho, so don't know if that helped?
Dentist for both me and DH tonight, just a cleaning for me..filling for him. Suckah!
ooh:babydust2: to all u brave girls!!!
im thinking my family might be finished now. just gonna sit with that decision for a little while and see how it feels though before i make any definite choices i decided i was done a few years ago too had dh booked in for the snip and all and i chickened out at the last minute. look what id be missing now if i had of let him go ahead:eek:
mos im still bf and no AF for me either prob cause dylan still feeds at least 4 hourly too or maybe they will just never return?
is today her first day k8y? u are very calm about it, i think id be a total mess. im a control freak still dont even leave dylan with dh :laughing:
well dylan has finally been sleepinga little better he usually does 3 hours now then feed then 5 hours then up sometimes he will squeeze another feed into that 5 hour stretch but not most nights. of a day no real progress today he has 2 x 20 min naps little buggar. ah well at least i have an excuse for having a messy house:laughing:
mos im into lists too;)
not sure if ive updated u guys too on my big boy brayden. he has been on his anti aggression meds now for a while and he is doing sooooo well, im so proud of him. he is much more managable now and he is off to big school on the first of feb:crying:. he is going mainstream and im much more confident now that he will be fine.
and dd is going into yr 6 so next yr im gonna be a high school mum:eek:
Fantastic news re Brayden! And your big girl off to high school, she will be finished in the blink of an eye!
You got me!!! And best of luck with TTC. Are yu still BF? Sorry, I lose track of who does what, etc. And has AF returned yet? Or does AF not return with the depo shot?

Great story......... gotta love a pink shirt!
Nice babywez that sounds like you were meant to be. How bizarre living in the same building but meeting online the net is just a wonderful invention.
Well finally re signed up to the gym again so i can start doing swimming again and what great timing its going to be 41 tomorrow so get a work out while cooling down
My oh is working away tonight I hate being on my own every creek in the house makes me jump such a big wooss.
And haha MOS I was a huge floozy the night my oh and i met it was so out of character for me but i think it was just the universe telling us we were meant to be together and i just needed that push (thankyou alcohol) to get me moving
If you are somewhere where its hot hope you are keeping cool. I might go and call my gf and hint for her to invite me for a swim
Yes Alcohol helped me out with DH too.....hahaha
to Dakota, kotakai!!!!!
My story re DP is very similar to babywez. My last partner I was with for 7 years. I was single and living in my own place. Wanted to do the whole date bunches of guys but wanted to be able to choose them online, rather then nightclubs/bars etc. It was a bit nerve wracking but DP was only the second guy I'd met and we hit it off so well that after knowing him for three days I'd cancelled the 2 dates I'd had organised with other guys as we both just knew this was it.
Our first date was dinner/movies. He picked me up. I was peeking out the window as he came to the door and I thought oh my he looks far too young for me (like 26) but he was 31 at the time. Just ageing well lol.
We drove to dinner in his hilux and I noticed a huntsman spider on his dash so we frantically had to pull into a side street and jump out so we could get it out but it disappeared. We laughed so much He had prawn fettucine and I had chicken risotto (easy to eat without making mess of your face lol). Then we saw a movie (You, Me and Dupree). Then we went for a walk along Kangaroo Point cliffs in Bris City then he drove me home. He was going to watch the AFL at the gabba the next day and texted me from there wanting to come have dinner with him again that night.
A week later he had to go up to Airlie Beach for work for a week and it was THE longest week of my life waiting for him to get back.
Oh it was so exciting!
Another great story......awwww very sweet!
DP going to cricket tonight with mates at the gabba so I rented out Baby Mama to watch as tv free to air is dreadful atm. Has anyone seen it?
No but I won a free family pass to the advance screening but coudn't make it. It looked good though. I want to see it now. Might hire it myself...

Great to hear from you SMO3. :wave: And well done to you and Brayden for the great progress. :yelclap:
Thanks to you guys I managed the potato. Mixed with BM and some of he steaming water then mashed with potato masher then through a sieve. Worked perfectly. Thanks girls.
Am also feeding Sa and have given him some Infacol so :fingerscrossed: he sleeps through.
We had relos for dinner and DH's cousin was watching me VEEEEERY closely (female, mid 40's). I could feel her eyes on me while I was preparing Sam's dinner: brocolli and zucchini with farex. Wed just finished dinner and there were a few soggy pieces of potato sitting in the bottom of the baking tray in heaps of oil. Will also bet there was heaps of salt in it. So then she says "why don't you just give him some of this potato mashed up?" (his food was now ready and in my hands). So I smiled and said "yeah good idea but he has his veggies" and turned away..... (trying not to get into an argument!). Then she said "Yeah, you should give him some of this. Potatos are veggies too". So I said I will give him veggies but I don't want him having oil and salt all the time". She said it won't hurt him.... then DH changed the topic. He saved the day. If we weren't living with the IL's I wouldn't have such an issue with him trying the odd thing here and there, but we LIVE HERE so I need to draw a line and I want it o be clear. I have no problem with babies eating what we eat, but NOT the Lebanese food this family eats.
We have in this family: MOST are over-weight, MOST have high cholesterol, most the deaths in the extended family have been heart or weight related. I don't want that for my son. Is that so bad? I know this is nasty but the cousin who commented is over-weight and so is her family.... I wanted to tell her she'd be the last person I'd want to take nutritional lessons from. :rolleyes:
Anyway rambling again now. Lunch with a friend tomoorrow and her twin sister who's just got a new kidney (she's diabetic) and their mum. Can't wait! :smiliedance:
MOS your doing the right thing. Sam will grow up healthy and happy as your doing an amazing job :thumbsup:
SMO3 it was surprisingly easy to leave Sums at CC :o It was her second week today but her first week (shes only there Tues and Thurs) she did 9am to 12pm and i spent the whole first day with her. The ladies there are so lovely, experienced and caring that they make it easy for you. Summer has a great time. Doesn't bother her at all to be there and they love her. Today was the longest I'd left her but I was so busy that it went quickly. She babbled to me in the car the whole way home so figured she was telling me about her day lol.
Wonder if you'll go for your fourth? Give it time! (I would love 3, maybe 4) but I think maybe I'm getting a bit old to plan such a big family.
Congrats on Brayden too, that is such great news :yelclap:
BB you can't spoil a baby no, but it's fun trying. They love the attention so much :goodvibes:
Are you planning on any more babies?
Good luck with Jacob at the dentist!
babywez Tina Fey is great. I'm looking forward to the movie now. The lady at videoezy said it was really good, not what she thought it would be like though. Just about to put Sums to bed and I'm going to watch it, and have some dinner too. With DP at cricket tonight I'm just going to have a weight watchers meal.
Sums had chicken for the the first time tonight. Was a bit nervous worrying whether I was giving it to her too soon. She absolutely loved it. Just a little cube mixed in with carrot and potato. Scoffed it down. Was so pleased as she is doing so well with her solids.
There's very little that is more frustrating than outsiders telling you what to do with/for your baby, or what to feed them, or when they tell you "He's probably hungry" when you just fed them an hour ago. Just stick to your guns MOS, you are doing great. Much more patient than I would be at this point!
Forgot to mention, but AF hasn't returned, and I don't know if that is due to BF or the Depo shot. Depo stops you from ovulating. I'm kind of glad I'm going off it TBH, I don't think the dr was very upfront with me re: side affects, etc. Will see what my body does after Feb 12 when I'd be due for my next shot.
Dentist tonight was sucky. I went first for the cleaning 30 minutes, done. DH was just over an hour, so I was trying to entertain Nick, ended up feeding him in the waiting room (no one else was in there but there is a surveillance camera outside the office door which is all glass, so some security guy might have got a show), then he fell asleep as soon as we put him in his car seat to come home. Poor fella, hadn't slept all arvo or evening, hope that means he'll sleep all night! :fingerscrossed:
While DH was getting his teeth done, the dentist and asst were talking about hiring another asst, 2 days a week. So I've put my name down. I asked if you had to have experience/course work or anything, and she said "Maybe, maybe not. Its pretty easy to teach someone what to do" and I said, "Well I don't have any experience but I catch on to things really quickly" so she's going to put my name down for the other asst tomorrow. AND, the asst tonight, her mother-in-law is a nanny and looks after her 2 kids + 1 other one, she said she might look after Nick, too, while I worked. We'll see, try not to get my hopes up about these things.
