View Full Version : June Mums February Chat
Welcome Marcy!
Well girls I had a chat with DH on Friday night re my birthday card from the outlaws, and also how they sometimes gives the girls birthday presents. Told him re the girls, please have a chat with your parents, either they give BD presents to the girls or they dont, just be consistent..
As for my crappy card, I told him politely that his parents behaviour is "rude, mean, bad manners and to be honest a sign of bad breeding", he simply and (very embarrassed) said he had no idea why they no longer give me gifts.
I also told him I will NEVER ever send them a BD card or present and will not help him choose/buy them anything.
I think he was very crushed, but thats not my problem, sorry to sound hard.
Been up since 4.50am, when the birds woke Miss C...

Good on you :thumbsup: I agree children get their hopes up & when they usually get a present one year & not the next its heartbreaking...they are her Grandparents its not too much to ask is it? I dont think so.
:hugs:
babywez yes we had a lovely day yesterday. Though I got the cranks with him this morning - again I know :rolleyes: I've been trying to put Sums to sleep so he gets up, makes himself a coffee and toast and go sits in the study to muck around on the computer. Hello? Like where is my cuppa? He goes 'oh, I'll just go make you one' and I said no, stuff it, I don't really want one now and he said well I didn't know what you were doing and I said hello! I've been trying to put Sums to sleep, you know that. So then he called me a pain in the a$$ so I called him a selfish pr!ck. He does this several times you know, makes himself breakkie and a cuppa but doesn't give any thought to me. Whereas I always make him one or if I make my breakfast/lunch I always make his too. Makes me wonder why I bother sometimes.
tiggles good for you for saying something. I hope it clears the air a bit. An early start for you today :dizzy:
oconky I don't know if I'll play soccer again. It was fun and a few of my friends played, but they don't play anymore either and I'm just not sure I'm interested anymore....
Welcome marcy :wave:
babywez southbank is full of cafes/restaurants. Might be best to go to one that has a healthy choice of food (for me lol) and can accomodate all our prams :laughing: Toscani's is always a safe bet.
Well sums is almost back to sleep.
Not going to be much of a fun day today with DP and I having the cranks.....

I loove toscanis!
Hmm what is there in the way of parking :fingerscrossed: Ill have my licence by then!
I have to trek from sunshine coast so dont really wanna train it
Going down to 2 solid naps a day has got her good sleeping habbits back on track.
if she needs the 3rd nap in the late arvo I make sure its only a 10 min catnap then I keep her up
k8y- I know what you mean about playing with friends.. much more fun, I am actually friends again with the people I used to play with when I was a teenager so it is pretty good.
sounds like a lovely day k8y (besides the morning squabble). I haven't been to southbank much when in Brissy but sounds nice.
still not feeling 100% but no dizzy spells at least. just feel yuk. my whinge is that we were going to go to the markets this morning, but DH never gets organised early enough and now Pip is asleep so guess we are not going...always happens when I suggest it :hair:
stg very good you will have your licence soon. exciting.
Pip's cot has now been lowered soo low though no patting her in the cot now unless I am sitting on the floor:laughing: but at least she won't be able to climb/fall out.
anyway have a good day girls and welcome to February!!
forgot to say done tiggles for talking to your DH, he needs to know how you feel and I agree presents need to be consistent for children otherwise how do you answer questions from them about it??
Hi all
I was thinking... oh theyve started a new thread for us and just called it the Feb one as its so close and we must be over 500posts now...then I looked at the date..
Where did January go??
Ive had the tired and cant be bothereds all week this week. Don't know whats wrong, but I'm really lacking motivation to do much other then the basic housework and feed and clean G. There's SO much I should be doing around here..but I look at it and its all a bit overwhelming...
ho hum... poor me poor me
K8Y.. I'd be very snappy with him. He needs you to go out and leave him with sumer and a list of chores for a couple of days in a row.
Okonky hope you're feeling better... Yep sounds like a middle ear thing...the dizzyness and vomiting. How yuk for you.
Tigglesgood on you for speaking to Dh about those awful parents of his...

Well done tiggles on your chat - poor little kiddies need some consistency from their grandparents!
K8Y - MEN!!!!!! that's all I can say.
I nearly fell off my chair this morning - a miracle happened in our house. My OH said SORRY:yelclap::yelclap: I don't think I've ever heard it from him before. Long story short we had a massive argument last night and I am always, always, always the one who says sorry (even if I'm not) just to stop the crappy atmosphere. Well I was determined I was staying my ground on this one. I thought bugger it - he's far better than me at sulking for weeks, but I thought if I could get through today (and he's at work) without talking to him, the next 2 days would be easy cos I'm at work. And then he says I'm sorry:yes: Well bugger me!
I'm still not forgiving him that easily tho so he still went off to work with his tail between his legs - let him ponder on it and suffer at work I say:D
God it's hot here already - not sure what we'll do today as it's too hot to go anywhere. Have been taking the dog for her walk in the evening now as it's just too hot in the day.
Made brownies this morning just in case a friend pops in (she said she might) and I never have anything to offer anyone. Be just my luck she won't call now and then I'll have to eat them all myself:p
Bella.. that is SO me .the brownies thing. I buy something or bake something as someone has mentioned they will come over...or I take it to PlayGroup or something. For one reason or another they dont come, or we just dont get to eating it.... so I eat them. Last week.. two packets of chocci biccies and at least a quarter of a lemon cake..(hmm being honest..more like half) From now on Im being the boring person who takes carrot sticks....or watermelon:D Though..one of the packs of biccies my friend brought an left here.. along with half a bag of crisps.... I was good with those though...took a handfull then threw the leftovers out before soffing
NO WONDER I have the can't be bothereds..my lard a$$ keeping me down:laughing::laughing::laughing: Though amazingly I havent put any weight on..just not lost any...:D
Well look at that! You don't need ME to keep the chatter going at all! :laughing: And why do new people always pop in when I'm not here?! :D Welcome Marcy! :wave:
Our night was wonderful. We had a beautiful meal on Oxford St with a beer, then stopped by a bottle shop on the way back and got a 6 pack of Becks and hit the room where I put Sam to sleep then I hit the rest of the beers and we played scrabble. Hit a bag of chips and a bag of peanut M&M's too! YUMMO! Had buffet brekky this morning... came across a SCARY chef in a really bad mood... unlucky for her! ;)
Overall a wonderful time away. We just got home but the IL's have just left for the nephew's birthday party but DH told them to pretend we're not home yet as we don't want to go out again. I've got to get lunch and clothes ready for tomorrow, oranges juiced, etc while Sam's asleep. Then we're out to the club this arvo between 5:30 and 7:30 to see if we can win a car... yeah right! But you've gotta be in it to win it, right?
k8y, your thing about the coffee has made me really appreciative of my DH. He always offer me a cuppa if he's making one and vice versa. I'm a lucky girl... We still argue as he DOES get lazy sometimes, etc... but I remember agreeing with him before we got married to make sure we always tell each other how we feel. We said we should also be appreciative of the GOOD things we do rather than only noticing the bad things... so I'm going to thank him for always thinking of me when making a coffee. :)
Going down to 2 solid naps a day has got her good sleeping habbits back on track.
if she needs the 3rd nap in the late arvo I make sure its only a 10 min catnap then I keep her up
stg I've found the same thing. He has a small nap in the morning (half to one hour), then a nap of around an hour or two just after booby at midday and then I try to keep him awake after 2:30pm. If he's REALLY tired I let him snooze for about half an hour but no later than 5pm. This ensures he's tired around 7 or 8pm and it all works out well. He still wakes around midnight or 1am but I've started NOT feeding him until 3am at the earliest now so hopefully he'll stop waking around midnight soon... we'll see!
Well off to get those lunches done. Chat later!
Oh and Tiggles, good on you and he should be embarrassed!
Thanks girls for your comments, forgot to multi quote and now have forgotten everything....old ages, hahaha
STG, wonderful re getting all your driving hours!!
Well off DD1 and I go at 7.10am this morning to nippers, got 1/2way there and DH rings me, we forgot her stuff..had to turn back around, and we were 1/2 hour late. Then 2 hours sitting in the blazing sun, gee the things we do for our kidlets. Felt sick when I got home, think I got too much sun. She loves nippers and we want to to be a strong surf swimmer, as both DH and I are hopeless in the surf.
Now, iff to tidy the house...yuck
BTW, Miss C is up before 5am EVERY day, no wonder Im always tired.. but I keep reminding myself she sleeps all night so we are very lucky.
c38- nothing wrong with a case of CBF....I think it is natural for a mum who does it all to have some time off the only way they know how!
tiggles- very impressed with 5am every morning, I whinge if Pip is up before 7 and she sleeps through. what a bugger at needing to go back and get stuff!
MOS- glad you had a nice weekend and GL with the car!
bella don't you hate that about food, we had a BBQ last weekend ...hmm left over dip, cheese and chips not good!
Well exciting news Pip is properly crawling :yelclap::yelclap::yelclap:, uploading a video to FB as I speak soo cool did it after her lunch in front of both of us which was lovely. changed to the commando crawl after a couple of steps, but hey....its all there!

Hey girls,
Just another quick one to check in as I still have quite a sick little miss - went to the medical centre this morning (normal GP is closed on Sunday) as she's onto her 3rd day of temps and her cough has turned quite congested and chesty. So he confirmed it is on her chest, so she's on antibiotics. Yukko. Honestly, I've had asthma since I was almost 2, and I have no idea how mum coped with all the times I turned blue and she just sat there at night watching/willing me to breathe.... last night was awful, as Khirra sounded all rattley and just kept waking herself up as she couldn't breathe through her nose. I'm not a fan of having to be the mum that make everything okay - lol - I still need my mum to do that for me!!!
lol, okay, enough of that :o
Babywez- Hope Nick is feeling better!
Oconky - hope you feel better soon hun - it's great that you have your Mum around to help. Definately helps to have that backup! And how exciting that Pip is crawling!!! Clever girl!!!
Tiggles - good on you for having that chat with your DH.... honestly, his folks sound like terrible people. Inlaws. Who'd have them?
Bella - an apology from your DH! Yay for you! It happens very rarely from my OH... very,very rarely. lol
K8y - :hugs: for things with your OH.... they are honestly just an inferior lifeform sometimes, don't you think? lol. And I don't think anything we do can make them get it... and heaven forbid if we point out they don't help... what horrible, nagging b!tches we are suggesting they should do something OTHER than what they want to do?! :rolleyes: Hope he gets the guilts and buys you flowers and choccies! (with all the calories taken out for you, of course) :D
C38 - I know those can't-be-bothered days... it's hard for me to have them while we're living with Mum though, because I get the guilts if I haven't done something I should have... which is a good thing. I suppose.
Stg - Yay for nearly having your licence! And congrats on all the hours... far out, I'm glad I didn't have to do those... although I can definately see the benefits.
MOS - Your night away sounded great! Good luck with the car tonight - have my fingers and toes crossed for you!
Marcy - welcome and good luck keeping up!
Well, that wasn't so quick after all. :o Better go see if DP needs a hand with the little miss... poor thing just wants to be cuddled today (Khirra, not DP. haha.) And my gosh, she's looking so much like her father now.... in fact I have people telling me on almost a daily basis now (including strangers) how there's nothing of me at all in her... good thing I guess ;).
Okay, rambling. Take care girls.
Home from South Bank, weather wasn't too great, drizzled on and off, but still a nice few hours. Had lunch at Amici's. It was ok. Would be a lovely day on a nice sunny day to sit in the park and eat take out food from one of the restaurants then play in the water for a while. Wasn't nice enough to do that today, so we just walked through the markets and over to the botanic gardens. Nick fell asleep before we left Amici's, then woke up as we were getting back on the train 2 hours later. So he missed most of it!
Poor Khirra :( Hope the antibiotics help her.
MOS with your run of good luck lately wouldn't surprise me if you come home with the car!
OK cranky pants on my hands here, so got to go.
Hi all :wave:
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Tiggles -I'm glad you told DH. You're doing the right thing.
MOS -Glad you had a great night. Good luck with the car!
Oconky -Hope you feel better. Yay for proper crawling :smiliedance: Still waiting for that.
Ems -Hope Khirra's feeling better.
k8y -:hugs: about DP. They just don't get it sometimes.
Welcome Marcy :wave:
stg -That's great about getting your hours up. Good luck with your licence.
Babywez -Hope Nick feels better.
c38 -I've had the can't be bothereds this week too!
Bella -Glad DP said sorry 1st.
BB -Hope the boys are good.
Lambkin -Can't wait to see your dress.
Sorry if I missed you. I blame baby brain :laughing:
Well 6 years ago today Dakotah had her 1st chemo, so feeling very thankful for my family today. Here's a collage of photos from then.

I think you did great to get that many personals! No baby brain there. And what a brave, strong little girl you have. I can't imagine going through that.
Well, according to DH downstairs, Nick just vomited again, like yesterday. He also keeps sweating from the head a lot (rest of the body seems fine) and his face/neck/scalp break out in what looks like heat rash. I am going to try and get him back in to the Dr tomorrow I think. Poor kid has just not been himself the last couple of days.
kotakai your photos brought tears to my eyes.
Also I wanted to ask you, how do you do that collage with the photos?
tiggles an early start EVERY day! What time does she go back down to sleep?
MOS sounds like you had a lovely time. Any sign of AF yet?? Can't wait for you to get UTD!!! So exciting.
babywez sounds like you had a great time at Southbank. I like to walk over the pedestrian bridge to the botanic gardens. I should do it more often actually. Imagine if we all did it on our meet day - be a big pram procession :laughing:
Let us know how you go at the docs tomorrow then. Do you think it's not clearing up?
stg Southbank has undercover parking (but $$) but you might get street parking (metered) for cheaper, depends on how long you plan on parking for...
ems :hugs: I hope Khirra gets better fast :( Poor poppet. It must be tiring for you too, even just the worrying part is exhausting enough.
No one mentioned what natural yoghurt they are buying if anyone is?? Need some pointers as I buy the dreadful diet yoghurt full of those (mmmmm tasty......not) sweeteners for my WW eating.
oconky saw the video - how fantastic! :yelclap: Way to go Pip!
Sums isn't near crawling at all yet. She's really only just starting pushing up on her arms in the past 2 weeks. Is she behind? or just normal and all your bubs are just geniouses? (sp)
She is getting close to saying her first word though. Yesterday we're pretty sure she said 'rats' :laughing: but almost got the dadada out. We also think her top tooth is going to arrive any day now.
Made purees today to boost up supply. Beef, pork, potato, apple, beans & squash. Out of this lot she's only had apple and potato so might try her on the pork tonight. I also bought her some rice cakes today.
Best go, she's due to wake up soon (from her 2 hour nap!!) so will need to get her dinner ready.
Okay I should probably point out then when I was pregnant and BF I didn't drink tea/coffee for the caffeine (tried decaf and :barf:). So DP has really gotten used to making coffee for himself. BS (Before Summer) he did use to do it :o he's just out of touch.....

OK we'll give him a pass on this one for now then. Maybe he has baby brain too. But he better shape up! ;)
Its not that I don't think its clearing up,I think I'd just like to get a second opinion and maybe reassurance that the vomiting (and his poos have been not runny, but definitely not solid) is from the infection. I guess would rather just be safe than sorry.
I'm going to the Dr tomorrow to have some spots checked out, and will see if they have anyone available to see him. Otherwise will see if his regular dr is in and if she can fit him in. She is awesome.
BTW, I did notice underground parking at southbank and it was $15 for up to 4 hours.

:goodvibes: awww thats beautiful.....boys are great thanks....hope you are feeling much better...how far along now???
kotakai your photos brought tears to my eyes.
Also I wanted to ask you, how do you do that collage with the photos?
tiggles an early start EVERY day! What time does she go back down to sleep?
MOS sounds like you had a lovely time. Any sign of AF yet?? Can't wait for you to get UTD!!! So exciting.
babywez sounds like you had a great time at Southbank. I like to walk over the pedestrian bridge to the botanic gardens. I should do it more often actually. Imagine if we all did it on our meet day - be a big pram procession
Let us know how you go at the docs tomorrow then. Do you think it's not clearing up?
stg Southbank has undercover parking (but $$) but you might get street parking (metered) for cheaper, depends on how long you plan on parking for...
ems I hope Khirra gets better fast Poor poppet. It must be tiring for you too, even just the worrying part is exhausting enough.
No one mentioned what natural yoghurt they are buying if anyone is?? Need some pointers as I buy the dreadful diet yoghurt full of those (mmmmm tasty......not) sweeteners for my WW eating.
oconky saw the video - how fantastic! Way to go Pip!
Sums isn't near crawling at all yet. She's really only just starting pushing up on her arms in the past 2 weeks. Is she behind? or just normal and all your bubs are just geniouses? (sp)
She is getting close to saying her first word though. Yesterday we're pretty sure she said 'rats' but almost got the dadada out. We also think her top tooth is going to arrive any day now.
Made purees today to boost up supply. Beef, pork, potato, apple, beans & squash. Out of this lot she's only had apple and potato so might try her on the pork tonight. I also bought her some rice cakes today.
Best go, she's due to wake up soon (from her 2 hour nap!!) so will need to get her dinner ready.
No Sums is not behind hun.....:goodvibes: Jacob was 8months when he crawled he went to big crawling never did commando,rather Casey is commando crawling & cant sit up for long by himself yet,Jacob sat before crawling....they are all different sweety:cloud9:

I give her the baby vaalia. If I found another yoghurt that was more natural or whatever I might get it but I dont have time to do the research.
But it has nothing unnatural and no added sugars, so im not concerned and she LOVES it
I love vaalia too.. so creamy :)
Just wondering, what is like.. the earliest babies start walking?

Marcy - Hello and welcome!!
Kotakai - :hugs:
Gosh girls I'm so sorry but I just don't think I have time to try and catch up any more! I might just have to start fresh. I hope I haven't missed anything vital!
news from us - Elliot seems to be a bit sick. His voice sounds husky, his tongue is white, and he has had a little gastro as well. He is one cranky bubs I can tell you!
Wedding stuff - It WAS my dress and it is lovely. For anyone interested in having a look it's on the Bridal TM - Glamour Plus website and it's the one with the lace bodice and a pleated skirt (2nd last on the first page). I got a copy made by Brides Closet (also online) so it's a little different to the pic, but is still beautifully. Of course you can see all see photos after the wedding! still need to show you my shoes, don't I?? Must get around to it!
My Nana is still with us but not looking too good :( I think my Mum and sister are flying to QLD to see her on Tuesday. I'd love to go and visit her, but too hard with Elliot. She's very frail.
I hope everyone is doing O.K. I will try and make more regular appearances this week!
thinking of you guys x
Sorry if I miss anyone, Im ready to drop..
ems - sorry your little one is sick, hipe they make a quick recovery.
Kotakai - Congrats re Dakotah, she must have been so little, yet so brave! Hugs to you and you family for such a wonderful day!
babywez, hope N is on the mend.
k8y - Put Miss C to bed between 5 - 6 pm, have tried keeping her up later, but ITS NOT WORTH IT! She still wakes up before 5am. I wake up too, as between the kookas, black cockies, lorikeets and the water hens (specially when they breed which seems every seconday so very noisy), it so loud outside!
Miss C still isnt sitting or commando crawling wither, perfectly normal.
BB - how is your back, mum gave me a super cream, must find and post the name for you.
Lamby - sorry E is unwell, hope he feels better soon.
If I have missed anyone its not on purpose.
Meant to add........................................
Im SO TIRED!
Hi all
Well 6 years ago today Dakotah had her 1st chemo, so feeling very thankful for my family today. Here's a collage of photos from then.
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk174/kotakai_chais/Dakotahinhosp.jpg
:hugs:ohh that made me cry, but in a good way as she was obviously so strong (as were you)so nice to here good news stories from cancer!
how is the M/S going?
No one mentioned what natural yoghurt they are buying if anyone is?? Need some pointers as I buy the dreadful diet yoghurt full of those (mmmmm tasty......not) sweeteners for my WW eating.
.
I bought an easy yo yogurt maker $20 from supermarkets etc and make my own and just use the unsweetened natural mix and then add pureed fruit. I don't think it would hurt if you just try a natural yogurt but just a little bit- has she had any dairy yet, Pip's first poo after yogurt was a bit funny, but OK now.
BTW Sums isn't behind they are all different!! each of the bubs in mum's group seems to do something different "first", but some bubs don't crawl until 11months and it is no biggie...TBH it is scary as have to be soo much more careful with what is around the house now...she was chewing on DH's shoe inserts this morning:barf:

yeah soo glad it was your dress and it is great, can't wait for photos. hope Elliot is better soon and :hugs: about your nan.
Poor bubs that are sick, guess it is off to the doctors again. I feel heaps better no dizzy spells today, but still feel like something is up with my sinus so will try and go to dr tomorrow, will have to take Pip though as DH got called in, poor thing.
tiggles- despite the early hour she rises, Miss C has a great sleep!!!6-5am gosh, Pip does almost the same but it is more like 8-7, so still running around at 9 getting things ready for the next day!!
hmm...:sleeping: might toddle off now!
Oh what a night! OK didn't win the car... MAN, THEY DRAG IT OUT! You should have seen the mass exodus to get out of the car park as soon as they announced the last finalist. They had 10 finalists, gave them keys and get them on the stage at 10:30pm and see which one works.
Sam was crying... tried to feed him but kept on pushing off the boob in a tanrum. Hard enough trying to feed with hundreds of oldies sitting around you. :rolleyes: So just got home but Sam screamed the whole way home (plus while we waited for old people to reverse out of their car spots in the car park!)... and now he's asleep but STILL sobbing as he got himself soooo worked up. :crying:
kotakai, how beautiful that she was smiling such big smiles in all of those pics. Someone said she must be a strong girl - I think YOU must have been strong. Such a hard thing to be a mother in that situation. :hugs:
MOS sounds like you had a lovely time. Any sign of AF yet?? Can't wait for you to get UTD!!! So exciting.
Nope, no sign as yet... :no: Hey, those who HAVE gotten theirs back, was it normal or really heavy the first time? Painful??? Just curious. I suppose we'd all be different...

Morning girls
K8y - sorry hun, forgot to answer that question! I give Kiz Bornhoffen (sp?) or Jalna, and just mix up some fruit puree with it. lol... don't you love it when you have a whinge about DP then get the guilts? :laughing: We know he loves you and looks after you! Everyone has their off moments ;)
Babywes - good luck with the doc today. :hugs: for Nick!
Oconky - glad your feeling a bit better hun!
Lambkin - can't wait to see that dress!
Kotakai - Well, I have to say sweet, I think you must be such an amazing person and Mother. To have nursed your daughter through all that... I have so much respect and awe for you ... I remember you said on here once that you were sort of grateful because there were kids in the hospital with so much worse... I don't know how parents like yourself do it. And Dakotah must be such an amazing little soul herself... all those gorgeous smiles. :goodvibes:
I'm taking Kiz to our usual GP today so he knows where she's at and can double check her and the antibiotics she's on.... she's on her fourth day of 37.5 degrees temps.... I keep giving her Panadol, giving her tepid baths, wet washer over the body, but her temperature keeps creeping back up... I know it's the bodies way of fighting infection, but four days seems a long time? It's not overly high though, so I'm probably being a bit of a worry wort. :rolleyes:
Anyway, going to try get my little miss back to sleep. Have a good day girls.
Wekcome Marcy!!!!!
Everytime I miss a day you ladies seem to :ecomcity::ecomcity: a lot.
Kara fnally got her needles done. As she had a temp last time they told me to come back. Talk about clingy and later last night she threw up a few times. She also was up until 10pm, tennis was more exciting than sleep lol. She has also lost weight in the last week amd a bit since i took her to the docs, but as she is still well above the average line he said not to worry.
She is also sayin mumummum heaps, mainly when eating tho.
Our night was wonderful. We had a beautiful meal on Oxford St with a beer, then stopped by a bottle shop on the way back and got a 6 pack of Becks and hit the room where I put Sam to sleep then I hit the rest of the beers and we played scrabble. Hit a bag of chips and a bag of peanut M&M's too! YUMMO! Had buffet brekky this morning... came across a SCARY chef in a really bad mood... unlucky for her! ;)
Overall a wonderful time away.

Sounds like a great night. Glad ou had a wonderful time.
[quote=k8y;3465009Sums isn't near crawling at all yet. She's really only just starting pushing up on her arms in the past 2 weeks. Is she behind? or just normal and all your bubs are just geniouses? (sp)
No she is not behind at all. Kara can comando crawl but she still cant (either that or wont, im guessing cant because when i put her on her arms she falls flat to the ground) push up on her arms. I met a 7mth old old baby the other day that wasnt doing anything but rolling and sitting with support, all babies are different.
Thanks ladies. Will just try and enjoy Sums without worrying too much about her development.
Thanks ems and stg. I know the bornhoffen (its the orange coloured tub right?) and vaalia, so will check those out next at shops.
Oconky thats great you make your own but I'm a bit lazy for that :laughing: and gross about the shoe inserts. I wouldnt tell her about that one when she's older!!!!
I've given cheese sauce to Sums on Tuesday night and her poos for the next 2-3 days were greener and softer then usual, but she had a tooth come through at the same time so wasn't sure. Gave the cheese sauce a break and might try it again tonight. Just waiting to see her what her poo's are like today :laughing:
ems and babywez you are both doing the right thing by going back to the doc as even if they're getting better, it still gives you peace of mind :hugs:
MOS - old people and cars :no:
Hmmm my AF was heavier then normal but just normal pain. Only got them once though, still waiting for next AF to arrive, am overdue ....
lambkin your dress is so beautiful. Very modern too with that pleated skirt. Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! (just a little reminder)
tiggles oh well, early to bed, early to rise makes a ummmm ..... hmmm... something something wise... :laughing:
ems thanks for that. Yes I'm getting niggly things off my chest but all in all my DP is a wonderful, patient, generous fellow :goodvibes:
flick I was reading this last night (re babies aged between 7-9 months):
Clinginess and stranger anxiety
Your baby's brain development is forging ahead, with rapid growth of the cells (neurones) and connecting nerve pathways. She is more aware of her relationship with you, of the outside world and its potential dangers. This means she may show increasing clinginess and stranger anxiety.
While this may seem like a step backwards, it's not. It actually shows she's forged a strong bond with you, and is now able to clearly differentiate between people she knows and those she doesn't. Some researchers also think it may be an in-built safety ploy to ensure she stays close to you at a time when she's becoming more mobile.
Nicklas actually seems much better last night and this morning, though he was up at 12 and 3:30 after about a week of sleeping really well. I put him in his cot while I went and showered this morning and he finally fell asleep, on his knees, bum up in the air :)
Sat up til 10 and watched the first 3 sets of the mens final last night, so was really paying for it this morning after Nick was up twice through the night. Then DH made me get dressed and walk to work with him! I was so cranky. We got around the corner and up the street and the dark clouds were everywhere, so he "let" me come home!!! I whinged the whole way, but really he was just doing what I asked (not letting me be lazy!). And he didn't necessarily know it was going to rain...or did he? :rolleyes:
My house is a pig sty and I have at least 2 loads of laundry to do and I don't want do it, or clean the house :hissy:
:laughing:k8y don't give me credit for makinbg the yogurt, it comes in a packet and you just mix it with water and leave for 8 hours- not hard work at all....nothing like baking cookies and cakes!!
hmmm can't decide what to do today was going to do this aerobics thing on TV, but they just launched into heaps of lunges...hmm my knees don't do well with that (excuses I know). will go to the gym later when DH gets home. feels quite hot today already...hmmm would love some cooler weather. Might check out our local toy library.
Hey I got some 5 star mince, cause she LOVES mince and its easiest for me to prepare for her.
But I was just wondering about freezing it.
SHould I freeze it with vegies, or how could i freeze it separately ( so I can freeze in my food cube trays) Should I mix something with it or what (I cant see it sticking together and stay in cube shape when its just been fried)
Or what should i do with it?:confused:
stg what about adding a tomato puree to it? or a little bit of watered down no added salt tomato paste??
I just got my uni text list - all up $590 :hair::banghead::dizzy::thumbsdown:
Plus a very good friends 30th b'day on Friday night so I wanted to get her something spesh :crying:

Well, had a mole cut out today. The last one he cut out was pre-cancerous stages, and this one looks just like that one did. Its just under my boobs, so the 2 stitches in there are a bit uncomfortable right now. Don't think I'll be playing tennis tomorrow.
I bought some yoghurt today, it is called Jalna. Says it is "Naturally pot set, wholemilk goodness, no gluten, no cane sugar/low GI, no artificial sweeteners, no gelatines, starches, food acid."
Oh but your just doing one subject aren't you?
I am doing 4. One of them is law of finance which is 2 law books, so all up 5 books which all are around the $120 approx mark......
Sums had some toast today, what a mess! but she approached it all very seriously. After a while she squished it all in her hands and bashed it about the high chair :laughing: then she watched me have a sip of my drink and she screamed for her sippy cup lol.
Quite the princess she is.

Dont laugh.. im a nerd :laughing::laughing:
lol stg you have outed yourself now!
Re the mince, I put it ina small saucepan, just cover with water and simmer for ages. Keep topping up the water if it gets low.
Then i put it in the ice cube trays, and it all stays together fine as there is still some water in there. but it all gets mixed toogether when you feed it to them anyway.
So many sick babies, hope they are improving :(
SOOO hot here in adelaide, record heat wave, has been up to 45o here, and no respite til at least next weekend.
What would I do without air con, we would need to live at the shopping centre
Actually mine is heavier this time....Im on the pill so I was expecting it to be lighter.....no pain though...fingers x for AF to arrive:fingerscrossed:

That's good to know, thanks! And no, no teeth yet but I have a feeling they're on their way. He's been quite the little grumble bum... :rolleyes:

Thats not being a nerd, its good to enjoy something.
Very scary morning, Miss C slept n till 6.45am, then I was out at the shops and she kept falling asleep (very out of character), then when I went to put her in the car, she wouldnt wake, I had to gently shake her. Got very worried, ran over to the medical centre next to the shops (not our normal doctor), they rushed us straight into the nurse. No temps, no rash. So waited to see the dr, she fell asleep again sitting up and was sound asleep whilst he was checking her over. He said she may be coming down with somethng. She fell asleep again abck to mums, and again on the way to school. She has had 2 very runny nappies this arvo, so Im wondering is the samonella is back.... she now has a runny nose too, but is happy as larry on the floor.
Just keeping a very close eye on her, and trying to get as much fluid as possible.
Gee she scared me.
stg I think that's great! Maybe cotton on might be a nice cheap store to try too. Hair extension ponies might be tricky as $$$ if you buy them. This may sound ridiculous but have you considered making some yourself? i.e. cutting yellow cellaphane (sp) into long thin strips? or some pale yellow tissue paper or plasticky type stuff?
tiggles how scary :( Lucky you could rush in and see the doc. See how she goes tonight. Did they say that salmonella can recur in her system?
BB don't feel like a smart cookie, sometimes I feel I bluff my way through my job :laughing: with the sheperds pie do you make it with pastry bottom? and how would you feed it to Casey? just mash it up or puree it?
I'm interested as I'm looking forward to feeding Sums what we eat, though I think she's still at least a month off doing this.
tiggles how scary :( Lucky you could rush in and see the doc. See how she goes tonight. Did they say that salmonella can recur in her system?
I think c38 said it can take ages to get out of the system.
Sorry I didnt do any personals.
Big Yah!!!! to the medical profession, talk about good service, and we we arnt even regular patients.
Going to take up some flowers and a card tommorrow to say thanks.

How scary for you! Hope she is ok tonight. That was great that they took you guys at the medical centre. I called our Drs office when Nicklas had the high temp, they said to bring him in and they'd fit us in. We had to wait an hour and 15 minutes, which was frustrating, but they were so busy and only had 2 drs on duty. Flowers and a card is nice of you. :yes:
I have caught the CBFs from you girls :shame: I'm so lethargic...think its b/c of the awful nights sleep last night. Hope Nicklas sleeps better tonight. I have laundry to hang out and another load to do, but here I sit. DH is home and has Nick. I also have nothing planned for dinner. Might send DH out for fish 'n chips or burgers or something :rolleyes: Its just been one of those days - don't want to do anything!
I just got my transcript from my undergrad degree, 2 days after the deadline date for apps for postgrad at Griffith. Wonder if they'd still consider my app. But then also have to track down financial aid etc. $1800 for just one class!
Hi Girls
Thank u for the welcome i look forward to getting to know u all.
Nickolas is 8mths today wow its gone soo fast also sad as hes my last bub i was hoping to cherish hes baby baby a lil longer but hes not wanting to be babied anymore, hes currently cutting 4 teeth top 4 at the front hes eating everything in sight loves food, my DH tried him on full cream milk yesterday he didnt chuck any of it up (hes a reflux baby ive tried nearly every reflux formula under the sun and other formulas he just cant seem to keep any of it down) he did well so i was happy about that.
Ok better go will try and do some personals next time i promise.

Thanks for that. You know whats funny, ive worked in childcare for years nursery-preschool and if a parent has a prob I can help them and give advice them not a problem but when it comes to my children i always have a mindblank and need to ask questions.

Thats not good hope shes alright,needles are horrible:no:........Im lucky aswell as Cas is a big boy.

Hes getting really good at swallowing now,he has big peices of bread/toast...tonight just mashed veges :thumbsup: just trying him on a few things to see how he goes,dont want him getting a tummy ache.
Tiggles..........:eek: that is scarey.....:hugs:

wow forgot how expensive uni was k8y and babywez gosh.....
stg..sorry no real suggestions for you, unless you know your hairdresser very well, you might be able to scam something, party shops may have cheaper ones than hairdressers??
well for once had a fairly organised day organised paperwork, prepared dinner early so I could get to the gym when DH got home. (BTW lost 1kg yay) in addition to all the other normal stuff.
Marcy where abouts do you live?? i can imagine it would be sad being your last
Ok, how do i get Kara to stop grinding her teeth??? She only seems to do it when she playing. she has the 2 top and 2 bottom.

Very scary morning, Miss C slept n till 6.45am, then I was out at the shops and she kept falling asleep (very out of character), then when I went to put her in the car, she wouldnt wake, I had to gently shake her. Got very worried, ran over to the medical centre next to the shops (not our normal doctor), they rushed us straight into the nurse. No temps, no rash. So waited to see the dr, she fell asleep again sitting up and was sound asleep whilst he was checking her over. He said she may be coming down with somethng. She fell asleep again abck to mums, and again on the way to school. She has had 2 very runny nappies this arvo, so Im wondering is the samonella is back.... she now has a runny nose too, but is happy as larry on the floor.
Just keeping a very close eye on her, and trying to get as much fluid as possible.
Gee she scared me.
Wow, how scary tiggles, I hope Miss C gets better soon. :hugs: (Which Dr's was it?)
Hi Girls
Thank u for the welcome i look forward to getting to know u all.
Nickolas is 8mths today wow its gone soo fast also sad as hes my last bub i was hoping to cherish hes baby baby a lil longer but hes not wanting to be babied anymore, hes currently cutting 4 teeth top 4 at the front hes eating everything in sight loves food, my DH tried him on full cream milk yesterday he didnt chuck any of it up (hes a reflux baby ive tried nearly every reflux formula under the sun and other formulas he just cant seem to keep any of it down) he did well so i was happy about that.
Ok better go will try and do some personals next time i promise.
How do i join the private group please
marcy
What private group? You must have had to read a fair bit to catch up!
Hey, when do kids poo in the bath? They all do it, right? I just don't want it to be when I'm in it with him! :laughing:
I dont have anything planned for tomorrow. Need to fill up the car (cheap Tues)...
Nicklas has pooped in the bath 2, maybe 3 times now. Its gross! I can deal with poo in the nappies, poo in the bath grosses me out! But there was no rhyme or reason to when/why he did it. He usually poos in the am, but he's been doing it at night occassionally too, and that's when he bathes.
The bloody stiched area is so irritating and a bit painful. Might have to take some panadol before I go to sleep tonight.
Kara hasnt pooed in the bath yet, and halie didnt do it till she was about 12mths.

tiggles how scary very good of them to get you in soo quick.
flick glad to here Kara is better
wow forgot how expensive uni was k8y and babywez gosh.....
stg..sorry no real suggestions for you, unless you know your hairdresser very well, you might be able to scam something, party shops may have cheaper ones than hairdressers??
well for once had a fairly organised day organised paperwork, prepared dinner early so I could get to the gym when DH got home. (BTW lost 1kg yay) in addition to all the other normal stuff.
Marcy where abouts do you live?? i can imagine it would be sad being your last
:yelclap:welldone!

hmmmmm I dont remember Jacob ever doing it....or maybe he did but it wasn't bad :laughing:I know he has done it when he got older but he was so constipated for a few days he needed to go & he was in the bath so I said just do it hunny.....think the water soothed his bottom.....awwww but Casey hasn't yet.....hes quite regular....;)

Casey slept through....7ish to 5.30am....but he did stir alot I got up once @ about 11pm thought he may want his water but as soon as I came back with it he was :sleeping:......
Im going to Mums grp this morning.....
Not much else exciting happening really should do some ironing.......:cool:
Cya later :wave:
BB I did my ironing yesterday :rolleyes:
Well Sums has slept from 8pm to 7am the past 4 nights :yelclap: Though trying to time solids and bottle and get Sums to CC by 9am is proving a challenge!
oconky, way to go on the weight loss :thumbsup:
No poo's from sums in the bath. She seems to do hers in the morning while she has her first tummy time.
Marcy Sums is also a reflux baby. She's on losec 15mg/day atm. I am also very slowly introducing her to dairy. She had small amount of cheese sauce on her vegies a week ago, then tried again last night.
Sums is just now trying to crawl. She is mashing her head into the bed while pushing her bum up and pushing off with her feet :laughing:
Us today: Sums in CC. I'm off to buy more bottles, a toy for the car as now that she's turned around we can't use the one she has as that toy is designed for rear facing. Going for treadie run and some fitball/medicine ball work. Also some housework.
babywez- stitches are sooo annoying aren't they
Pip has down a half poo in the bath...I thought it was done...but no!!
Pip has dropped a sleep in the afternoon now, but it means she has got up at about 8.30pm for an hour :hair: tried to get her to go for a quick nap to avoid this but no luck yesterday. Oh well trial and error!
k8y sounds like an energetic morning, I have mum's group then a free afternoon, might go for a swim in the lake or go to the pool.
just read my last post- must have got distracted as it looks like I didn';t really finish:rolleyes: baby brain never seems to leave does it!
oh Pip is pulling herslef up on everything now...too much going on in 2 days!!!
oh well better finish getting ready and then wait for Pip to wake!

Best of luck pulling your finger out to do the excercise... I'm hopeless! You have more motivation than I do! Then again if I put it on my "list", then maybe I'd get around to it... :laughing: I make lists RELIGIOUSLY now. At night while I'm trying to get to sleep, I think of more things I need to do, so I end up jotting things down in the dark. My writing's not too bad for pitch-black-can't-see-a-thing writing! :D
Today I'm off for petrol then will get some more work shorts for DH and grab a coffee and go for a wander around Parra Westfield... then come home. DH has gone from a 107cm waist work short to a 95cm waist! :yelclap: So hence the new pants... Will get him a shirt too as they're only $6.95 and he's gone from a 3XL to an XL... my spunky man... :valentine:
Thanks for all of the bath-poo stories. I worry because Sam does one in the morning with his brekky and then one with his dinner... but SOMETIMES he doesn't do his dinner one until after the bath and I sit there with him freaking out when he farts picturing what I would do and how fast I can jump out of the bath without scaring the poor bu99er!
Here's another question: Does anyone else's bubs STILL not know how to use a sippy cup? When I hold it to Sam's mouth and tip it up, he does this fast breathing thing and his eyes flutter like he's scared of it... yet when I give it to him, he gets the water out of it but doesn't suck or swallow so it just runs down his chin, onto his bib and drenches his clothes... :rolleyes:
MOS, Miss c still doesnt know what to do with a sippy cup either, so dont worry.

Kara is great with a sippy cup, she actually prefers if i hold a cup and she drinks from that, can get messy tho when she tries to help haha. Halie on the other hand, she didnt get he hang of a sippy cup until she was around 10mths, then she refused to drink form the bottle.
We have a boring day here, more cleaning and cooking. I dont have a car today and its been raining on and off so im sort of stuck at home.
K8y we have a fisher price steerig wheel thing for the car. it comes with a remote control thing for the parent that you put on your sun visor thingy and you can press it and it lights up for them so you dont have to turn around. I love it, and so does kara. the only fault i found was it didnt come with batteries, i had to buy my own.
Hi All
Gabriel had one of those 3hrly or was it 2hourly wakeful nights... Aghhh. Ended up with him in bed with me from about 430. Bit my own fault I guess as he went to granmas yesterday while I was at the Osteopaths. Cutting a long story short.. I had only sent him with one bottle of EBM, thinking I'd be there just as he woke from his second nap ready for his third feed of the day... but he didn't go down until 1/1/2 hrs later then usual for his first nap, and hence had only just gone down for his second when I arrived. He slept 2hrs until 5 (when I woke him).. so essentially he'd missed a BF or 2 (as sometimes he'll sneak an extra in the afteroon. So I think he was thirsty overnight. I also gave him a jar meal to see if he liked it (as we are going to Melb in afew weeks)..he seemed to eat it ok. It tasted grossly bland and full of barley to me...(was turkey and veges).. but he did do a few spills after.. so Im wondering if it repeated on him a bit..
He has no idea witha sippa cup either really..tends to just bang on the tray with it. Tips it up looking interested, but doesnt actually suck enough to get water out..or tipit far enough half the time. If I help him he will swallow but is not all that fussed. Weirdly he has these stacking cups in the bath..and he lays on his tummy and laps the water out of them..you can hear him swallow. And occassionally he has a full one in his hand at his mouth and rolls over onto his back...tipping the full thing into his mouth. Everytime he does it I think hes going to gag/drown inthe big mouth full.but he just swallows it..
Tiggles how is MissC today. That wold have been frightening yesterday.. I would have freaked. And yes, great service from the Drs surgery. :yelclap:
Oconky: clever Pip, pulling up on things..watch out she'll be running next..LOL
Gabe's getting on all fours and rocking espescially in bed and in the bath..but goes back to the comando. He can sit much longer now if I sit him..but he doesnt attempt to try and sit himself as yet. He doesnt babble much. I think he's gonna be a late talker.
He hasn't pooed in the bath...he tends to do his with his first tummy time as well. Sometimes during his arvo nap aswell. ahh for the days of 5-7days between non stinky poos..I really wish I could exclusively BF until toilet trained:D
Hi Macy sry I missed you before
um no offensive if Ive missed you out...no doubt I'll finishe the message and remember something I was going to say to someone...
Oh stg: You can get fishnet tops (if you're game) from lingere shops..um probably the more um..adult kind. But also on ebay. And yes a skirt from maybe Supre...not sure about the jacket. Maybe try op shops for a close fitting black leather aviator style one and you could glue a red panel to it at the back if you wanted. Not sure about the boots..maybe an opshop again and cut out the toes. Goth type shops have platform boots but they are expensive. You might get some on ebay ..there are some goth online ebay shops. ..and also costume shops and makers.. Our cheapo shop (called chicken feed) often has cheap dress up wigs and Ive seen a long blonde one one on occasion...maybe you could try that sort of shop for the hair... or rent from a costume shop. Costume shops often have bins of sci fi type jackets/tops etc and/or dressmakers attached. I love dress up. I have some goth friends who live up north, they would often come down and stay at my house for the monthly goth club meet. They have some amazing outfits...I;d dress up and go with them on occassion..just to stare at the others...LOL
Flick that car toy sounds great, I think Kotaokai was talking about it at Christmas time. But I couldnt find them.Could you use it when they are rear facing?/ I haven't turned Gabe yet and don't intend to for as long as possible as they are much safer that way... so while he's happy and his feet aren't touching the back of the seat I'll leave him there.
Miss C perfectly normal and happy today, so much I took her to CC, but I explained everything to her teacher. They will call if they are concerned.

Morning girls
Tiggles - Hope C is more spritely today - must have been so frightening. My heart would have been in my throat.
Stg - Pretty sure Crazy Clarks or the like do those hair extensions from time to time. You'll have to take pics of the finished product :yes:
K8y - Yay for Sums crawling efforts :yelclap: Gets exciting now ;)
Oconky - Woohoo for Pip getting upright... have fun with all the stacks from now on :rolleyes: Khirra was just walking along a dining chair with one hand then turned to see me lost her balance and bam. Her newest tooth is now bleeding at the base. Good times.
C38 - I agree the jar stuff tastes horrible and flavourless... it is handy though if you have to travel.
As for the sippy cup, Kiz is pretty good with it... although she does enjoy spitting the water back out down her chin once she's lot interest in actually drinking it... same when she drinks from a normal cup. She's mastered a straw now though, and she seems to drink a lot more rather than playing with it, so might get one of those straw cups...
Well, we're onto our 5th day of temperatures. I woke up this morning and she was so, so, so hot. Took her temp and it was 39 :eek: So I took her outside and fed her what bottle she would take and tried to cool her down. It went down to 38.2 (think it was the sheets and stuff that warmed her up the extra bit) and fed her panadol. She still gives smiles and responds well though, so everyone has said while she's doing that she's okay. I wish the temps would stay down at least. :rolleyes:
Anyway, she's ready for another sleep, so will head off..
ems do you know what Khirra has? it's not a UTI is it? :(
MOS Sums has been an absolute pain to get her to do anything i.e. learn to sleep on her own, learn to self settle, used to scream in the car, wouldn't take a bottle, but the ONE thing she has taken to straight away is the sippy cup :laughing: she actually screams for it, especially when she see's me having a drink, or after her solids, just sucks the water down. We use an Avent non spill one with the handles.
flick I saw that toy in the shops this morning but was worried it might be a bit advanced, so didn't get it. Probably should have :rolleyes: In the end I got her a thingy that suctions to the car window but sticks out. She's really just into toys at the moment that dingle/dangle and she can jam in her mouth and chew. And anything she gets, she always manages to find the tag on it and sucks on that :laughing:
Well I've done up the shopping list for DP now after dropping off Sums and getting back from shops, so am off to sterilise the new bottles I bought, then go for my run.
Oh, and I got my AF this morning, so only 4 days overdue, which is pretty good I thought.
c38, dont know if you can use it rearfacing, i will have a look for my instructions and let you know.
k8y, Kara loves anything that makes noise, and looking at herself in the little mirror. I just figured she would get a few years out of it.
Mum of Midgeys
03-02-2009, 11:46
No K8y, her temps aren't high enough for that sort of thing... it's just a chest infection from this virus. I know technically the temps are a good sign of the body fighting it, but it's hard not to worry when she just keeps turning into a little molten ball of lava every 5 hours or so :rolleyes:
And you are a very committed woman about to go for a run... too hot for me today :p You live around Mt Gravatt don't you? Big hills come to mind, you crazy girl!! :laughing: Good on you tho... do a bit for me!
Another thing.... does anyone have any tricks on getting a sick bubs to eat a bit more? You know how they go off their food? Kiz is really not touching solids the past few days, and barely getting her bottle quota. Just keep pumping it in when I can, I guess? She's 7.3kg and 70cm, so there's not much of her not to be eating... might loose her behind a lamp post the way she's going, little stringbean :laughing:
Gosh ems I'm not that crazy. I'm just about to pop on the treadie at home and we have ducted air con :laughing:
Hmmm yes you would def know it was chest infection. I just remembered BB saying the only symptom she saw for Casey's UTI was a temp of 39 degrees or something.
Hope she hurrys up and gets better. Re eating I don't know except to perhaps offer her fave foods the most (which I'm sure you're prob doing anyway!).
flick yes def get a few years out of it. It's a great toy and I'm going to go back for it soon :thumbsup: as saw heaps in Target.

awwwwww poor thing :hugs: Casey temps were 39+ when he had his kidney Infection,but he had no other signs they said it was just a virus when I took him to the doc....im glad I trusted my instincts as It wasnt just a virus....:no:
But you know she has a chest infection,rather Casey didn't even have a runny nose,his ears throat chest all clear,so thats why I was so puzzled at his high temps,he went limp & threw up a little....not nice...Hope she gets better soon:goodvibes:

Oh what a night! OK didn't win the car... MAN, THEY DRAG IT OUT! You should have seen the mass exodus to get out of the car park as soon as they announced the last finalist. They had 10 finalists, gave them keys and get them on the stage at 10:30pm and see which one works.
Man that would annoy me so much!
I just got my uni text list - all up $590 :hair::banghead:
Ouch! I don't miss that!
I just got my transcript from my undergrad degree, 2 days after the deadline date for apps for postgrad at Griffith. Wonder if they'd still consider my app. But then also have to track down financial aid etc. $1800 for just one class!
:fingerscrossed: for you!
Gosh all you girls going back to Uni! I don't know how you do it :( I am too scared to enrol in anything now.
Had a sh!t morning. Mum and my sister had to fly to Brisbane yesterday to see my Nana all of a sudden so took Elliot with me this morning to drop DP off. He started whinging 5 mins in to the car (1 hour, 40 minute round trip). By the time I'd dropped DP off, he was screaming and crying so much he threw up all over himself. I couldn't pull over ANYWHERE cause it was a super narrow road for about 10 minutes and uggh. Oh gosh it was so awful.
I stopped at this cafe to give him a break and he was still crying, so i start crying, and these women came up to me and were trying to hug me and I just kind of freaked out and cried even harder. They were very sweet though, offered to hold him for me while I had some breakfast.
We got back in the car after we'd eaten and he started again. It took us over 2 hours to get home :(
I called DP and left an awful voice message on his phone. I know he can't do anything about it, but I feel so resentful that he is the one who was caught for speeding, yet Elliot is the one who is being punished.
Sorry no more personals. Feeling blah! :(
love to ya'll xx
:hugs: lambkin, is little El okay? is he usually unhappy in the car or is he not well? :(
I don't know how I'm going to do 4 subjects at uni lambkin, I'm freaking out about it TBH.
MOS Casey is very good with sippa cup,water comes out easy for him & he drinks a fair bit,its the pigeon brand :thumbsup: I used it with DS1,I brought Cas the non spill one..but its so hard to suck the water out......
Yes it can be hard to suck the water out. With the avent ones, you can actually take out the clear plastic circle underneath the drink spout so it just becomes a normal pouring sippy cup :yelclap: I still keep mine in atm though as Sums gets enough so even it dribbles down her chin now and then :goodvibes:
Well I'm seizing up from sitting down after my run (jog really) I did 20min jog, 10 uphill walk and a fast 15min walk. Slowly trying to build up my jogging time as you get better points on WW for that obviously!
Going to do a bit of housework now, then shower and pick up Sums. Gosh day is going fast :dizzy:

The UTI was a great suggestion K8y :goodvibes: - I must say it's been lingering in the back of my mind with Casey getting one and then Attley. It's kind of scarey they can be so ill but only give that one clue really, isn't it?
Ah, the treadie. Much saner. :laughing: I should hop on my cross trainer... have been pretty good with it lately, but haven't made it there yet today.
Lambkin - :hugs::hugs: for the awful drive. I've driven home from the doctors once (I go to a Dr on the other side of town) and was driving home in Peak Hour on the gateway (all Brisbanites will know what I mean) and it took over an hour and a half - Khirra screamed the whole way. Really screamed. I was so emotionally drained by the end of that, so I can't even imagine another 2 hours of top of that. :hugs: Hope he recovered quickly.
BB - thanks hun.... it's hard to know if you're doing the right thing or being dramatic isn't it? But like you said, you went with your gut and lucky for Casey you did!! Guess all we really have is that instinct. How long is it til your trip back to Perth now? I forget?
k8y, well done for your treadmill effort.

Oh Lambie! (DD1 name for her fav stuffed toy, be all and end all of life), you need one giant virtual hug! What a crappy trip.
We had an exploded dirty nappy when we got home, huge mess all over miss c and the capsule. We cant use the Piddle pad as it makes her to hot, flipping poo everywhere. There are some times I hate being a mum...especially if poo is involved. Miss C happy had poo everywhere! Should have taken a photo.
But Im v annoyed, as CC had used someone elses dis nappy, really cheap crappy one. Will have a polite chat with them tommorrow.
ohhh :hugs::hugs::hugs: lambkin that is awful, it is soo hard when they cry in the car.
tiggles:hugs:too with the exploding nappy, bit annoying that they used someone elses nappy.
c38:hugs:for last night, hope tonight is better
well done k8y for getting so much done.
I had a sleep this afternoon, but then went to the gym so Iguess that made up for the laziness. not much else going on....my mums group is organising a girls night out without bubs for next friday- can't wait!!!
Pip is good drinking out of a cup if I am holding it, but tends to just bang the ones with handles around. I have taken the valves out of most of the ones I have tried as she cannot seem to suck anything with them in. she drinks a lot more water than she used to.
ems hope kiz gets better for you soon. this weather must not have helped
oh well Pip in bed, so going off to spend some quality time with DH! (probably just watch TV :laughing:)
Oh Lambie! (DD1 name for her fav stuffed toy, be all and end all of life), you need one giant virtual hug! What a crappy trip.
We had an exploded dirty nappy when we got home, huge mess all over miss c and the capsule. We cant use the Piddle pad as it makes her to hot, flipping poo everywhere. There are some times I hate being a mum...especially if poo is involved. Miss C happy had poo everywhere! Should have taken a photo.
But Im v annoyed, as CC had used someone elses dis nappy, really cheap crappy one. Will have a polite chat with them tommorrow.
Oh tiggles - :hugs:. How awful... but cute she enjoyed herself! ;) Why would they use someone else's nappy? How annoying, especially knowing it probably wouldn't have happened if it was in a good one. We always had problems with the Aldi ones and I can't remember ever having a problem with a Huggies nappy. Could it be possible she'd run out of her own nappies? (You would have noticed but just curious).
Well Sam's asleep but not sure how long it'll last for. Lately, he's been going to sleep and then waking up 10 mins later happy as Larry. We're in the lounge room having a coffee now as the IL's are down the road visiting the SIL.
Ooh! :eek: Forgot to tell... The SIL (44 years old, mother of 4, good Lebanese housewife to paint a picture...) got a tattoo on the weekend! :laughing: I told her I'm very impressed. She didn't know whether or not to tell her parents. Funny for a 44 year old?! :laughing: I told her I'm impressed and good on her. She got it for her birthday on Sunday. It's a rose with an "S" woven around the stem (her DH's name starts with an "S").
Bugger it - Sam's awake... :crying:
Well Sam's still awake but rolling around in his cot... quietly, so I NO COMPLAIN! :D
Anyway I've added some pics to FB:

I was asleep!
Nick went to sleep around 7, woke at 12, fed him, put him back in his cot, and at 5:15 this morning I hear a very faint grunting, so I look out our bedroom door which looks straight into his bedroom door and his cot, and he's crawling around his cot, grunting. DH went and stood in the doorway, and said Nick just looked at him and smiled.
So I got up rather than going back to sleep, bc I would have felt like **** if I'd gone back to sleep for another hour.
I wonder if the movie is Bride Wars here, too. Only problem is none of the mums at mums group want to go to Babes in Arms so it'd just be me and Nick. I guess we could go and see how it is. Australia Fair cinemas doesn't have next weeks' movie listed but everywhere else seems to be Bride Wars. Today is Marley and Me. Maybe we'll go today!

Great pics MOS he is such a cutie pie :cloud9: Just love those PJ's where are they from??
Casey slept 7pm till 5.30am woke @ about 11pm so I gave him water then he went straight back to sleep :yelclap: I gave him nurofen yest late arvo as i could see his gums were very swollen....:( and he was grizzly...
Must go Casey is into something...:laughing:
:wave:
BB not long to go now!!!!
MOS great pics :yelclap: I too love the pj's. Very suave!
Roxy looks pretty chuffed with her little haul :laughing:
ems how is Khirra's temp this morning?
babywez too, how is Nicklas this morning? I want to go to a babes in arms session too but I don't have a mums group. I know I should join one but I just haven't got off my bum to do it.
One of DP's friends was saying Marley and Me was actually a great movie and had a twist at the end. I want to see bride wars too!!!
Well I'm off to visit a friend this morning. I caught up with her on facebook but I haven't seen her since high school, she was in the same 'group' :laughing: I'm nervous because I don't really know her IFYWIM. Anyway, she has a gorgeous little girl Mia, 4, who has rett syndrome which I believe is a type of autism?
Anyway, I have to visit at her house because apparently it's not easy for them to socialise out.

Morning
MOS very cute pics... love those jammies.
BB - Yay! lol. And you've got hardly anything til you reach your first goal, do you? :yelclap: Are you gonna get some new gear to wear over there... blow everyone's socks off? ;) Where in Perth did you live when you were there?
K8y - Still temps this morning... had a 38.5 last night and then woke up with 37.3. Sigh. C38 - is it normal for temps to go on for so long like this? She's on to her 4th day of Amoxil... I thought it would have kicked in by now. I weighed her on the Wii Fit yesterday and it said she's lost .3kg. So she's only 7kg now... which doesn't surprise me - she only had 1 and a half bottles yesterday - ALL DAY. Managed to get a whole one into her during the night last night. I don't know whether to be concerned or not, to be honest. I am, obviously, but I don't know if this is just how this virus plays out? Anyway, I'm rambling about it.
Have a fun day with your old friend - hope it goes well!
I want to see Marley and Me and Bride Wars too! Girly comedies like that are about the only movies I can sit and watch.
Annnyway. I have a miserable little girl, so going to go try get her happy.
Have a good day girls.
:smiliedance: Wohoo!!! Bride Wars is on for Babes in Arms next Wed so I think Sam and I will go to the movies! :smiliedance:
Where IS everyone tonight??? Good night. :wave:
Mum took Halie for us and me DF and
Kara went out to dinner.We went to Hogs breath cafe. IT was so nice. Kara had mashed potato and some of the meat from my burger she loved it. Then one of the staff bought her 3 balloons with heilum and not intestered in dinner after that. She was so amazed the balloons were above her head. I have some pics ill upload later. It was so cute.
Kara also only woke up once lat night, well 3am, then slept until 6am. but i kept waking up at the times she usually wakes up so i feel so tired.
Mos cute pics.
Must go i have a really busy day ahead. and Kara has worked out how to open the bottom cuboards on the tv cabinet.
Loaded nappy waiting so must be quick.
:hugs: ems, I hope Khirra gets better soon...
Great pics MOS he is such a cutie pie :cloud9: Just love those PJ's where are they from??
They're Sprout from Myer. Thanks!
MOS great pics :yelclap: I too love the pj's. Very suave!
Roxy looks pretty chuffed with her little haul :laughing:
k8y, have a wonderful day today. I think since hearing about SMO3 going through what she's been through, we all have a new sense of appreciation for parents of autistic children. I know I do anyway... I think you'll have a great day but I know how feel with catching up with someone from so long ago. I have done the same thing, catching up with someone I hadn't seen since I was 15... and it was OK... but neither of us has made an attempt to get together again...
I recently had dinner with some friends of mine and one of their sons is soooo destructive. The little girl, who's house it was had a brand new cubby house, with stove, little tea set and everything. The little boy was in there throwing everything all over the place and the little girl had tears in her eyes. I said to the boy "that's not nice, let's put it all back up here neatly" and as I did, he snatched things off me and started throwing them out the window! He grabs the other kids and pushes them over, punches things, etc... it was very recently after SMO3's swimming pool incident and it really made me think....
And thanks, Roxy also got the rusk eventually! :laughing:
Better go - whingy boy want his bum cleaned...
ems did the doctor give you a time frame of when to expect it to start clearing up on the antibiotics? or whether you should go back to see them after a certain period if it hasn't cleared up?
Nicklas woke up his usual happy self this morning, so I'm assuming he's pretty much better. We probably have another day of antibiotics left for him to take, but he only had temps for about 2 days and they went away.
Ems what kind of infection did the dr say it was?
My mum just sent me an email about "Mummlicious Fitness". Its basically 45-60 minutes of warm up/walking or jogging and then using baby as a weight for some abdominal stuff and finishing with a cool down. They have a package that includes a 1-hour in-home fitness evaluation, and they sit down with you and talk about your fitness level, goals, etc. then you do classes twice a week for 8 weeks and the re-evaluate you. I might email and find out how much that is. Might be $$$.
I did quite a bit of work in our backyard yesterday arvo, so think I'm going to go to Bunnings today to find some flowers for the hanging pots and maybe mulch for the garden. Its either that or a movie. I'm really not sure how much of the movie Nicklas would let me watch!
Well Sam's still awake but rolling around in his cot... quietly, so I NO COMPLAIN! :D

Ems - the Amoxil should have kicked in by now.
I just checked a booklet Ive had for years, the Panadol 0-5 years booklet, it says re fever, contact your doctor when:
Baby takes less than 1/2 normal fluid amounts
If fever continues more than 24 hours
Baby looks pale
Baby has fewer wet nappies than normal or if they are dark yellow in colour.
Baby is sleeper than normal or more difficult to wake up.
Hope she gets better soon. You could ring the health hotline for advice on 13 43 25 84
Morning all :wave:
Lambkin -:hugs: about the car trip.
MOS -I LOVE the photos! He's so cute :goodvibes: It looks like his hair has grown since I last saw you also. LOL at your SIL. My Dad also HATES tatoos & flipped when I got mine.
Ems -:hugs: for Khirra. That's not good that she's not getting better. I'd be taking her somewhere else for a second opinion, even if only for piece of mind.
Babywez -Glad Nick's feeling better.
Flick -Lucky you getting a night out. Chais loves baloons too.
stg -You've done so well to save so much!
k8y -I use a photo editing program called Microsoft Digital Imaging Suite, that's really cheap & easy & that's where I do the collages.
BB- WTG with Casey's sleeping!
oconky -Do you know when you're down next for a meet?
Well Chais freaked me out yesterday. He was playing on the edge of his ball pit while I was trying to fix foxtel. When I turn around to check on him, he's standing up at his other play thing! He looked very happy with himself. He then pulled himself up on the lounge & cruised along it, but has no concept about needing to keep holding on! Also no concept if he falls to put his arms out, he just lands head first & screams.

well off to gymbaroo today, so hope he bahaves!

Nicklas has been doing the same thing - he doesn't pull himself up yet, but we'll stand him up and he'll grab on to the side of his cot and we can let him go, but yesterday he let go of one hand and crashed to the mattress, hitting his head on the side of the cot. Its hard not to laugh!
He's sitting in his high chair right now, playing with his spoon and a couple of teething rings. Its the only place I can put him and know he'll stay!
kotakai, Chais is looking soooo tall now! Such long legs! And still as cute as ever. :goodvibes:
... Rudd's putting in for my car. ill have 7k aprox if i pull my finger out and save for a month or so
Well done for saving so much stg. I was trying to make sense of the next Ruddy payment online last night. It said $950 bonus payment paid over 5 weeks for: low and middle income earners (that's us) and also for single income families... so does that mean we get TWO lots? Or just the one? Just curious really... what a wonderful time to be not working though, with all of these bonuses! :smiliedance: It kind of makes me feel a little like a bludger... really, we're not SPENDING any money on rent or mortgage.... and we're getting so much... then I remind myself I've been working since the age of 14 and 9 months, have NEVER had more than a week between jobs, always paid taxes, never scammed anything and even worked 2 jobs for 6 months (yes, I worked every single day plus Thurs nights for 6 months!) and paid HEAPS of taxes then... so I deserve this! :D
Sam's asleep and the MIL has just left for her physio appointment. Wanna know what I find funny? She can now lift Sam... she's gentle with her bad arm but she can use it... yet she still can't dust, vacuum, mop, etc once a week. :rolleyes: :laughing:
Yeah I'm up for another meet too - oconky? And if not, kotakai, we can maybe meet Lambkin at Gloria Jeans at Rouse Hill. I liked it there before!
We're seeing a home loan guy about re-financing soon. Our investment loan comes off it's fixed rate of 6.85% in April. I think we fixed it at the right time as it's been like that for almost 4 years so we missed all of the rate hikes, etc and now it's going to come down rather than go up. We were always worried that once it comes off it's fixed rate, the repayments would go up. That's why we didn't move back into the unit - because we thought if the repayments went up we wouldn't be able to afford it. Oh well...
Oh one more thing - my EX step dad has taken my little brother to live in Newcastle. He sent my mum an Email AFTER everything had been organised, so mum's really sad her little boy's going to forget about her, etc. Anyway she's had a rough trot and moved in with my sister who's also left the father of her baby (2 weeks older than Sam). But she's got a little break - she's being put on as a trial in a job in a car dealership which is exactly what she knows and is good at, etc. The catch is she needs a car but doesn't have one as can't afford it. She told them she DOES have one so she got the interview but she can borrow one for a while... so she's listing her MASSIVE diamond ring on the Trading Post and possibly Ebay. If anyone knows of someone wanting to buy a second hand ring, please PM me. This is the one I had dibs on one day! It's a 1.1carat diamond solitaire set in yellow gold - just plain and simple. The evaluation was for $16k and I know she paid $12k but is expecting to get a lot less for it... If anyone knows of anyone or wants any more details, let me know as I think she's got pics and a copy of the evaluation. She just wants to buy herself a little run-around car with it.
Sam awake. Bye now! :wave:

MOS thats so sad re your mum, sound like she was left with nothing after she split form you ex step dad.
Isnt it illegal for him to take your brother to live interstate without your mum's permission? She could get legal aid if she wants to fight the move.
Where on the net can you see the info about all the payments, I know we probably will get nothing, but worth a look.
MOS I hope your mum is REALLY careful selling that on trading post or ebay. Hopefully she won't meet anyone in person to sell it, b/c I think that would be dangerous. Hopefully she can get the payment online and mail the ring or something. The first thing that came to mind was someone setting up to meet to look at it/buy it and running off with it.
DH and I are trying to figure out if we get more than 1 lot of the bonus, too, because we qualify under about 4 different options, which makes me think that it is probably limited to 1 per family. But I don't know, DH is at work and said he was reading in the paper and it sounds like we could get 3 lots of it! Doesn't seem right to me, but would be nice :)
My dad thinks that he's worked long and hard enough for his grandson to have his mum home with him, too :) But step-mum I think is resentful that I don't have to work 3 jobs like she did! Oh well.
Hi:ecomcity:ers
Cute pics MOS. He's already looking like a little boy, not a baby anymore..
How does he go with eating the cucumbers??
..and don't the doggies LOVE the fallen rusks:laughing:
Lambie :hugs:for yesterday. Hope this morning went more smoothly. G used to scream in the car until he vomited, it's extremely stressfull. How sweet of the ladies at the cafe to look after you.
Go Chaise.. standing up... clever litle man!
Stg what sort of car are you thinking about. Well done with the saving:yelclap:
Babywez,.. how do you manage to get garden work done. I find it really hard as he gets bored outside as I can't leave him on the ground as EVERYTHING is in the mouth, and he gets bored in the swing or pram unless theya re moving.. Then there's the whole sunprotection thing.... I sometimes get 10-15 minutes here and there...but I loose interest becuase its so hit and miss.
I have a tree full of apricots about to rot...(probably already are but I havent looked today). Ive picked about 5 buckets full...mum took some and made cutney..Ive been eating them but ending up throwing them out as they go mouldy before I get a chance to freeze or cook them. I really thought things would be better now hes on the move...but he ends up coming to the kitchen and hanging off my leg whinging for attention if Im in there for more then a few minutes. Then between cleaning the floors, and doing the washing and feeding him, washing up, washing him, then cleaning the darn high chair ( I HATE it, takes a good half an hour at least once a day to scrub the straps and get all the nooks and crannys in the stupid thing..its on loan from my aunt .. I am getting an Ikea one when I go to melb soon)..the day just seems to be gone. Says me sitting here wasting time online while he sleeps..but I'm just over it all at the moment.... I just never seem to be ontop of anything:crying:
I don't think he'd sit on my lap at the pictures either... I'd have to sit on the floor down the front and follow him around in the dark.. If I could take the pram in and it was around nap time...I might be lucky. But Im not sure you'd get a pram in.. I might try going, but I dont really want to waste the money if he carrys on.
I'd like to see "hes not into you" and "Marley and Me", even though my mother let the ending slip yesterday. I was really annoyed as i knew tissues were required..I just wasnt sure why.
:hugs:Ems I'd go back and get her rechecked just to reassure yourself. 37.3 is not really considered a temp. Its actually normal for an infant/toddler to have a temp upto 37.5...even 38 purely due to their fast metabolism.
Good advice is to worry about the child not the numbers... the fact that she is miserable and off her food is whats worrying you, and indicates that she's not feeling quite right... so that alone is worth a look over at the GP's again.
Amoxyl is a pretty broad spectrum antibiotic and treats a lot of the most common bacterial things, but wont make any difference if the underlying problem is a virus. If there was something bacterial, it's not unusal for the really high temps to settle within 24-48hours of an antibiotic, but for low grade ones to grumble on for days... Viruses usually peak for 3-5 days..but can grumble on for 10 or more days.
As for her intake, that's really tricky. Getting her formula in at this age is the most important as it provides both fluids and calories, even if you have to go back to offering a dream feed and feeds during the night, if she wakes, to boost things. Dont fret too much about solids, continue to offer favorite things...and she will pick up when she feels better. Obviously try offering things when she's brighter rather then when shes miserable. You said she's been chesty..often they swallow a lot of mucous so feel full, which doesnt help. Often with nasty chest infections they secrete a hormone that lowers the bodies need for fluids too so aim for 100ml/kg rather then 120
As Tiggles said..less the half their normal intake espescially for more then a day is worth getting them assessed for.
MOS.. wouldn't your mum be better off trying to sell the ring to a jeweller who knows what its worth..eg Adelaide Exchange Jewellers or similar. One of the current affair shows did a story about selling your jewellery.. ie how pawn shops rip you off, and jewellers were more honest.. maybe have alook on the web sites..
Yeah I'm a bit confused over the newest Ruddy Dollars... though great timing for me..as my brother has finally agreed to start painting my house...$3000 to him to start with..plus all the costs..and a lot of the facier boards and spouting etc needs replacing. He;s also going to be remodling my roof... prob another 3-6k:cool:
C38 - Nicklas has a 2 hour nap every day, it just varies on what time he takes that nap. So that's the 2 hours I spent in the garden yesterday. That said, its not much of a garden, we have a back patio area that's all paved, and then a strip of garden along the back fence. Mostly I was cutting down dead palm branches and pulling out a bunch of weedy plants and all kinds of things.
I just read online that Malcom Turnball is rejecting the K-Rudd $42B package. And it may not get passed at all. But apparently each person who filed a tax return last year making <$80k will get the payment, so we should at least each get $950 if the package goes through. Only thing is, our money will most likely be spent in the US on our upcoming trip! So not really helping the Aussies there.

Where on the net can you see the info about all the payments, I know we probably will get nothing, but worth a look.
I can't remember but I Googled "stimulus package 3 feb 2009" and it came up... still unclear though about whether you get one or more. My mum commented that my EX step dad will get about $3k out of it... so not sure.
MOS I hope your mum is REALLY careful selling that on trading post or ebay. Hopefully she won't meet anyone in person to sell it, b/c I think that would be dangerous. Hopefully she can get the payment online and mail the ring or something. The first thing that came to mind was someone setting up to meet to look at it/buy it and running off with it.
Yeah I'll mention that to her, thanks. Her boyfriend and his 20 year old son are helping her sell it so I hope they're smart enough to make sure she's safe. She said she gets comments on it ALL DAY at work as it's so BIG (this is why I had dibs on it!:D)... ahhh... oh well! Her ex husband bought it for her years ago when she wasn't happy, he was never home, she was an alcohollic and was having an affair. My EX step dad's way of fixing things was always to buy her something... and it often worked - for a while. Sad sad...
And talking about people being resentful about you when you're a SAHM, my IL's started talking about someone we don't even know at the dinner table last night. They were saying how the mother had to go back to work when her first child was 11 months old so he's now in chid care 5 days a week. They said it like it was such a horrible thing - like "poor baby", etc, etc. THEY had heard it from their neighbours out the back who they'd had coffee with in the arvo - so I don't even think they KNOW these people. When DH translated it for me, I said to them all "we don't know what their situation is. if that's what they chose to do with their own baby, then good for them, it's not our place to judge someone we don't even know". Ooooh it felt good too! They all just looked at me like I was a FREAK! I have become soooo defensive of people *****ing about how others parent. I just hate how people whinge and b!tch about other people's choices - that's what they are: OTHER PEOPLE'S CHOICES! Sorry, there's my rant for the day. :o
The IL's have gone to physio so I have the house to myself for a while. YAY!
I've just booked in to see a home loan guy next Monday night. I've given him info over the phone about our loan being up for re-financing but we're not sure if we should buy the house we want NOW and rent it out or if we should just hold onto the unit and pay that down and then sell that when the time comes... no idea! We also want to know if anything's possible with me not working and DH technically working casual ATM. He earns a ridiculously nice amount of money most weeks. He's guaranteed 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and more often than not, he gets at least 2 hours OT each day PLUS Saturdays... so the money's there but the stability's not... even though a friend has gotten him in there and won't get rid of him... :D
So we're chatting to him on Monday night. He did say that with me not working we could borrow up to $360k.... roughly. So that's not too bad with about $90k equity in our unit, it would get us the nice house we want... but now or later, still not sure. Oh it's SO HARD making decisions!!! :hair: He did say that we won't have to pay tax on our unit when you calculate the expenses on top of our buying price, mortgage insurance, etc, etc... we will have technically not made any profit so that's good (well not really, but good for tax!).
Well best get going now. Nothing planned for today but the boy's whinging...
MOS.. wouldn't your mum be better off trying to sell the ring to a jeweller who knows what its worth..eg Adelaide Exchange Jewellers or similar. One of the current affair shows did a story about selling your jewellery.. ie how pawn shops rip you off, and jewellers were more honest.. maybe have alook on the web sites..
She tried that... he offered her $2k and told her she's better off selling it privately. :(
I just read online that Malcom Turnball is rejecting the K-Rudd $42B package. And it may not get passed at all. But apparently each person who filed a tax return last year making <$80k will get the payment, so we should at least each get $950 if the package goes through. Only thing is, our money will most likely be spent in the US on our upcoming trip! So not really helping the Aussies there.
Noooooo!!!!!! :crying: Last year I earned a lot... but maybe just under that mark. But it's THIS YEAR! How can they go by what you earned LAST YEAR? I was working LAST YEAR!
With the interest rates still coming down, and first time home buyers benefits so good ($21k to build and no stamp duty), I am seriously thinking DH and I need to go look at some places this weekend. Our payments wouldn't be much more than we're paying now, but we'd be living further away from everything. I'm the same as you MOS, don't know whether to do it now or wait.
I'm kind of torn on this stimulus package. Not to get all political, but I am not sure its going to help. It definitely won't help long-term, and I don't think it will work short-term either. I hate to say I agree with Malcom Turnball on anything but an income tax cut seems to make more sense to me - puts more money in your pocket every week, rather than a 1-time payout that realistically probably won't save any jobs.
Its official, I AM A SAINT!
The things we do for our kids...
Heres the background, its going to be an expensive afternoon.
Last year agreed Miss A could learn an instrument at school this year, all last year up until school holidays she wanted to learn sax...
then she changed her mind to VIOLIN....
we try to change her mind but no, violin it must be.
So we sign the forms, she got accepted
we then get a note home, btw school doesn't hire out violin you have to buy one.
Then another note yesterday about all the other **** she will need. So cheapest 2nd hand violins start off at $120, new ones I think the music shop said $240, and all the other bits and pieces add up to another $110
I don't even know if the cost of the violin includes a case.
Now I will have to listen to violin screeching every day when she practices...
So off to the music shop after school.
Aww Tiggles you're a wonderful mummy. Miss A must be soooo excited. Good on you! :)
Tiggles, I wanted to play flute so badly in school! And apparently so did a lot of other girls, because they all got the school's flutes. The only way I could play was for mum to buy me one, which she did. And I played it for 10 years! No band camp jokes please. Hopefully she will stick with it and it will be worth it!

Hi all
Its been a couple of weeks since i last posted and about 30 pages.
firstly a big :hugs: for the sick minis hopefully they are all getting back to their happy selves.
I was shocked when i read that chais was getting four teeth at once and then all of a sudden Hunter started getting two top ones tehn the next day he got another two so ouchie but atleast they are out now. Cant believe we have 6 little teeth have to watch out when he grabs your hand now.
For all of you wanting to go see bride wars i totally recommend you seeing it great movie. I dont get to go to the movies we are a bit naughty and dl them. Just finished watching the secret life of bees, I had read the book both are great if you dont mind crying.
WTG on standing Chais photos are gorgeous and he looks so proud of himself doing it. I dont have facebook so I cant look at all the other pics. mmm mebe i should branch out and sign up to it.
Im really freaking that Hunter will be walking soon but im sure its not possible but he has been standing for quite sometime now but has now started taking steps around furniture so many bumps have happened but he just wont stop doing it.
MOS good luck to your mum in selling her ring how sad though that something so precious to her has to be sold just to get a job, things we have to do to survive huh. I feel for you though would be a nice momento to have passed down to you.
Lambkin i googled that site about your dress and had a squizz absolutly stunning, weddings and baby phhotos i cant help looking at for ages, I went through all the dresses there some amazing dresses. Weddings are so exciting :valentine:
Dondons can you believe this adelaide weather 9 days over 38 but most of them being 40 we have been pretty much confined to our lounge area as we only have a wall unit aircon (thank god for that though) i can not wait till sunday when its going to be 25. Did you by chance go and watch any of the tour down under? We were going to but ended up being to hot for us to take the 3 kids out for the day in the sun.
Well i can hear hunter smackin the blinds together so must go and see if i can entertain him some more.
Keep cool everyone :wave:
Thanks MOS, Babywez 10 years is very good going!
I think its really great for kids to learn an instrument, but violin was not my first choice. But as long as she is happy and will practice then so be it. Will have to stop at the chemist and get some ear plugs too!
Hi all,
ems I would take Kiz back to the doctor given she is still miserable the poor thing.
MOS- love the photos of Sam soo cute and well done Chais, though scary for mum!!
well I am happy as I actually get some of Krudds money this time around with the one where people who worked last year criteria woo hoo!! we don't get either of the tax benefits so missed out last time. I know what you mean MOS about deserving it. I figure I have worked hard to get where I am and same with DH and paid all our taxes, and then get diddly squat! the money will probably go on debt though so not what krudd wants. We are going to register for the ceiling insulation for our house too, there is no means test for that.
ohh exciting times thinking about buying houses babywez and MOS!! it is a scary decision though.
Sydneyites I have no plans for coming down the rest of the month atm so just organise for yourselves! am coming down on sunday but it is just for the day. If I change my mind and it fits in will let you know so keep me informed about where and when.
BTW I am enrolling in a tax course, a small step to a new career!! need to do something different and it is only 1/2 day a week face to face so not too much time away from Pip. a bit nervous but also excited!

How are you doing this with, might be something id like to look at?
I think we too will get something this time, yippee!
Last I read/heard, no one will be getting anything, unless the greenies and indpendants sign off on the stimulus package :( Way to get all our hopes up!

Well done, sounds good. How long will it take and what do you plan on doing at the end of it?
We're going out for woodfired pizza tonight. Not sure where but the MIL said she's making some potato and egg thing withfrozen fish and chicken pieces so I called DH and told him. He said he'd eat it but wasn't too happy, so I told him I'd rather not, so we decided to go out. When I told the MIL not to worry about us, she shook her head and rolled her eyes, so I said "What's wrong?". She just said she's not cooking anymore. I asked what about her and the FIL, they still need to eat. She wasn't too happy. We pick one night a week where she's cooking something we don't want to eat and we go out - what's wrong with that? I don't want to eat frozen Aldi FAKE-FISH! Peuh! :barf:
OK so my selfish little whinge is over... I had a little cry as I was making DH's lunch. Sam was sitting in his high chair next to me and we were chatting but I had to run out to the back kitchen to grab a carrot and when I got back the FIL was taking him into the lounge room. As he was grabbing him I said "It's OK I'm back now" but he still took him... I didn't want to tell him no as I really didn't have a reason. It just sometimes feels like they're taking him from me when they do that. I just get a little defensive... so I had a little cry at the window whilst chopping veggies... :(
Whenever we mention moving out, the MIL says she's "keeping Sam" and even though I know she's only joking, it KILLS me inside. Last night DH told her when we move out we'll buy the FIL a dog as he loves Roxy so much (we know SHE doesn't love Roxy as much!)... but she said she doesn't want Roxy, just wants Sam. I told her Sam's not hers and DH suggested she have another baby and told her about some 68 year old woman in India... :rolleyes:
I was just thinking, do you guys think it would be better to use my voucher for the proffessional shots of Sam while he's not got bruises all over him from trying to walk/crawl? They said to wait until he's sitting by himself as the voucher is valid until August... what do you guys think?

We had professional pics of Nick done when he was 5 months old and he wasn't siting up by himself then. They still came out great. But that said, you have plenty of time 'til August and he'll be sitting up by then, so I'd probably wait.

:hugs: lambkin, is little El okay? is he usually unhappy in the car or is he not well? :(
I don't know how I'm going to do 4 subjects at uni lambkin, I'm freaking out about it TBH.
Thanks k8y! He just hates the car. he has since he was very wee, so I suspect he may get car sick or something :(
Lambkin - :hugs::hugs: for the awful drive. I've driven home from the doctors once (I go to a Dr on the other side of town) and was driving home in Peak Hour on the gateway (all Brisbanites will know what I mean) and it took over an hour and a half - Khirra screamed the whole way. Really screamed. I was so emotionally drained by the end of that, so I can't even imagine another 2 hours of top of that. :hugs: Hope he recovered quickly.
Oh you poor thing! It's such an awful situation :( We've been stuck a few times and it never ends well!
Lambkin :hugs:. Where do you drop him to? If it's towards my direction maybe we can have another coffee to break up the trip. :)
Aw that is sweet. I did think to ask you actually, but he works in Hornsby so a bit far for you.
My sister and her husband are going to watch him in the mornings for me until Mum gets back so that's a huge relief! Must catch up again soon though. GJ at Rouse hill sounds great to me. Just let me know when
Oh Lambie! (DD1 name for her fav stuffed toy, be all and end all of life), you need one giant virtual hug! What a crappy trip.
We had an exploded dirty nappy when we got home, huge mess all over miss c and the capsule. We cant use the Piddle pad as it makes her to hot, flipping poo everywhere. There are some times I hate being a mum...especially if poo is involved. Miss C happy had poo everywhere! Should have taken a photo.
But Im v annoyed, as CC had used someone elses dis nappy, really cheap crappy one. Will have a polite chat with them tommorrow.
Thank you for my hugs tiggles!
And poor bubby :(
Well Sam's still awake but rolling around in his cot... quietly, so I NO COMPLAIN! :D
Anyway I've added some pics to FB:

Haha I love it!
Well I'm off to visit a friend this morning. I caught up with her on facebook but I haven't seen her since high school, she was in the same 'group' :laughing: I'm nervous because I don't really know her IFYWIM. Anyway, she has a gorgeous little girl Mia, 4, who has rett syndrome which I believe is a type of autism?
Anyway, I have to visit at her house because apparently it's not easy for them to socialise out.
Facebook is so good for that! I know exactly what oyu mean. I've had some awkward reunions and some fabulous ones. Hope it goes well for you :hugs:
Its official, I AM A SAINT!

So off to the music shop after school.
Lol I have to laugh! You are such a good Mummy
Forgot to tell you guys that my sister got her bridesmaid dress moments before Mum called to say they had to go to QLD. It is SOOO beautiful. I tried to find a pic online but nada. It is Paco brand, and is blue and green like .. kind ofhalf and half. Sounds gross but they are very pale and it's so soft and floaty.
It doesn't go with my dress at all, but she just looked so beautiful in it and I could tell she loved it (and it wasn't BLACK) haha so I agreed to it.
El and I are having a much better day today. His throat seems to be getting better (doc said it was just mild pharangitis or laryngitis (sp?)) and he has had a car-free day so yippee! Dear sister agreed to watch him this morn while her DP watched her DS. Fingers crossed he is okay this afternoon!
Am so annoyed at DP's dad. He sent me a text with addresses and names of people he wants invited to the wedding. He's not contributing one cent, my parents are hosting it in their home, and he wants us to invite his mates from the pub?? GRR. So angry. What is wrong with him?!
too many smilies so disabled, sorry.
Must be the day for tears....
Ive just been sitting here bawling because I can't find a comb... stupid I know. But Ive pulled the house apart. I own like 50 well at least three.... Gabes been playng with one of them..can't even find that. I usually put them back in the bathroom draw or on the enterance table. There was one here yesterday I've even been down and looked inthe car, emptied my bag, the baby bag, felt round the gaps int he lounge...looked under the lounge etc....:hair::hair::hair:
I really wanted to nip to the shop before g went to to sleep for some butter as Im going to visit my friend who had her mastectomy a few weeks ago tomorrow and wanted to take her some lemon cakes and some home made biscuits. I was going to do them lastnight, but g settled so late, then I discovered there was no butter.
Of course he's been getting more and more tired and cranky as I'm searching the house. I even put him in the spare (read junk) room so he could get into stuff and shush up while I looked..
What sort of sick house fairy steals ALL your combs:hair::hair:
so now of course Ive had to put him to bed.. no comb no butter no cakes for tomorrow as Ive got dance class tonight (with feral hair!) so he will settle for mum but no doubt wake after a couple of hours and be a ****e to get back down as per his pattern at the moment..
I should be outside now picking bloody apricots... but Im too over it all....
Im so tired and over it:crying:
:goodvibes:
Thanks k8y! He just hates the car. he has since he was very wee, so I suspect he may get car sick or something :(

You have to stand your ground with your DPs dad, I had to do this with the MIL, very hard, but it was my wedding, not hers. BTW, the ILS didnt put a cent to our wedding.

Agreed! Why do people think their kid's wedding is an excuse to invite all their friends for a ****-up? Did you ask them for a list of ppl they wanted to invite? We asked my MIL for a list and a list it was, but I didn't care b/c I knew none would make the long trek to the wedding.
:hugs: C38. Let's all cry together, eh? Some days all you can do is cry... I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Maybe Mr G will have a nice morning nap while you bake for your friend.
BB I can't believe how much weight you've lost. You must look amazing. I don't ever recall you looking big in any pics though. I only recall preggy pics but you just looked like any other PG lady - not huge, but just big belly.
Ooh, my DH has lost about 20kilos too and he got his forklift license in the mail yesterday. He had to go to the post office and get a photo taken, etc as they now do them like a driver's license, so there's a pic and a list of any other licenses held, etc. Anyway he had to apply for it about 4 months ago... so it arrived yesterday and he looks MASSIVE! :laughing: Big fat face with about 3 chins! He laughed when he saw it. I don't recall him ever looking that big...
Aw that is sweet. I did think to ask you actually, but he works in Hornsby so a bit far for you.
My sister and her husband are going to watch him in the mornings for me until Mum gets back so that's a huge relief! Must catch up again soon though. GJ at Rouse hill sounds great to me. Just let me know when
kotakai, you up for a meet???
Lambkin, I can't believe your IL's. Maybe your DH can say something to them? Maybe tell them you've had to cut some people from YOUR guest list due to costs (since they're not contributing), so the pub mates might have to miss this one. I thought my IL's would go nuts with our wedding and probably would have had reason to as they paid for half.. in a way (they gave us $12k to go towards our first unit, then we paid for our whole wedding, which was $24k even though they wanted to pay for half)... so we're kind of even now but I think like they paid for half of our wedding... Anyway they just told us to invite whoever we wanted but asked (nicely) if we could please invite their friends who live at the back of their house. That's all...
Or just pretend you didn't get the text! :laughing:

Aww C38 :hugs:. Nothing worse than having those days. Maybe you have the same house fairy as me? Mine steals all my hairties and bobbypins.... she might have nicked over your place to get your combs....
...she might be a hairdresser on the side ;).
Just a have bludge for a day or two hun, count them as write-offs. What's a few mouldy apricots and a few chores left undone for a bit? I know it can seem huge when you're in that frame of mind, but cop yourself a break! And maybe you could just do up a lasagne or casserole or something like that for your friend? Google some butter-less sweets?
Thanks heaps for the info re: the temps hun. You've really reassured me there. She's still having chats with us and smiling and laughing in between getting cranky, so I know that's a good sign. It just seemed to be the temps should be going down by now... but then I've never had a sick bub before, so it's all just assumption. She's actually seeming a bit better... her temp has been a steady 37 since this morning, so that's good. And I've been able to get a bit of bottle in her, she's been sucking on a few ice cubes, and had some custard (figure anything is better than nothing) and cucumber. So she's making progress today, which is awesome. So thanks for the reassurance!
Tiggles - :hugs:thank you for that info re: the temps hun. I took her back to the doctor on day 4 of her temps. If she's still got them Friday, I'm going to go back. But it does seem to be staying down a bit more today.
And A must be so excited! Will be worth all the screeches to see the smile on her face!
MOS - :hugs: for the inlaw thing again... you do a good job though, standing up for yourself. I think I might be in a straight jacket if I was in your situation. The woodfired pizza sounds great though! As for the pics... he won't get too bashed and beaten once he's crawling.... can't even tell if they've knocked out a tooth at this age ;) I'd say it's just a matter of if you want them now or not! I'd be itching to get them done!
Oconky - good on your for doing the course! Always exciting starting something new.
Lambkin - that dress sounds lovely! (And so much better than black!) Can't wait to see it. As for your FIL, tell him exactly how much it will cost him and what presents they'll need to bring for you and he can invite who he likes. Why do family think they have rights on stuff like that??
BB - Size 10! . You're gonna be a knockout when you get over there :D. You, actually have been the kick up the bum for me. Thought to myself 'stop being so lazy about your eating' and so I've been making an effort since last week and lost 1.5kg already.... which goes to show how bad I was being, lol. Actually I was drinking Coke, and I never usually drink Coke, so have stopped that. So down to 70kg (I'm 179cm so not quite as horredous as it sounds, lol)
Ems I can't imagine a 179cm tall woman who weighs 70kg needing to lose weight! It doesn't sound horrendous at all! I'm about 179/180 and would love to be 70kg right now. Actually 75 is my ideal goal.
ems, :yelclap: well done on the weight loss. I remember hearing somewhere they use Coke to strip break fluid.. so it can't be that good for our intestines. I've had about 2 swigs of soft drink in as many months... although I know coffee's not good either but I just can't shake that one! :D
DH home on time today for the first time in AGES, so must go get ready. :wave:

Hi girls - I've managed to catch up, I think.
Big hugs to all those sick babies, and big :yelclap:for those that have lost weight.
Not a lot of news here. But I need your help. I changed DD's car seat around so it's now forward facing - she was getting so hot when it was rear facing as the air con wasn't getting to her. So it's in the middle now facing forward but it doesn't feel very secure and seems to move around a bit. I've booked into Kidsafe to get it checked but can't get an appointment till a week on Friday. Do you think it's ok, or should I move it to the side? Though I know the middle is supposed to be the safest, but if it moves when it's in the middle and doesn't when it's on the side surely that would be safer. (Though I haven't tried it on the side yet - need to find a different sized bolt first). We have a Toyota Corolla stationwagon and the middle does have a raised bit which I think may be hampering the fit of it.
Bella,ours is rear facing but we had it installed prffessinally and had to take a towel to fold up and put under it to make it more secure. The lady putting it in told DH it's less wobbly on the side but it's still safe. :thumbsup: HTH
PS. How's the pool?

ems84 Thats fantastic! U GO GIRL.........I drink coke o as its 0 points,its still naughty.....water is the best.
K8y inspired me to join WW again......Thanks k8y :goodvibes: hahahaha
C38.............awww you poor thing....:hugs:should have popped in I own heaps of combs (being a Hairdresser and all) Hope Mr G gives you some rest tonight.
.................................................. ..............
I have lost 800gms :yelclap:so brings my total to 21.8kilos.............
I want to hit goal or just under by the time I get to Perth....
Thanks MOS,hmmmm I did have weight on,you are being too kind...I was 84kgs when I started(big for me:o) for my height I should be between 53kgs & 66kgs Im now 62...I was smaller before I had my two babies B/F didn't help me loose weight either(bugger) Im actually smaller now than what I was when I was first preg with DS1.....
size 14 was becoming tight & I just wasn't happy,I was eating way too much food.....chocolates/chips etc...it wasn't always what I ate but how much I did..your DH would look like a new man......(lots of fun in the bedroom)..hahaha
I haven't put any of my "FAT" pics up....I am too ashamed........now I feel great confident,sexy......;)
Put Casey down @ 7pm(as usual) he was so tired...hes still awake :rolleyes:
wow maybe I should try WW? I just keep getting fatter! With DD1 the weight just fell off and I was back to normal without any effort, but this time :no:. I am clinging to hope that when I stop bf it will drop off (I heard that happens to some people...)
Kelectable it is crazy in adelaide with this heat. But it is funny when we are quite happy and comfortable in 38o heat! That;s nothing compared to 45! We have a split system in the lounge, so the lounge and kitchen were lovely, but our bedrooms are all at the other end of the house and they were hideous. The ac stayed on for about 3 days straight. We are near the foothills so usually get gully breezes at night but for the first few days there was nothing at all and the house was like an oven. 30o nights are just no fun! Its all ok now that the nights are cooler, we open it up and its ok by the next morn. We are lucky we didnt lose power, what about you? Was thinking we would have to go and stay at the il's house :( if the power went out, the girls just wouldnt have coped in the heat.
DD2 struggled in the heat, when it was really bad (a few nights it only went down to 30o) she woke every hour and a half and needed to be resettled and/or fed to sleep. She must have woken and thought WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, this isnt right! lol. Anyway all the plants are gonna die and the lawn looks shocking - but what can you do, water restrictions.
I am 5'7, whatever that is in cms, and atm I weigh about 72kgs. So about 3 kgs heavier than b4 pregnancy. Many years ago when I was at uni I was under 60kgs! Pretty skinny then. But I would like to be about 65kgs. I have broad shoulders and gigantic boobies which must be about 1.5kgs each. Someone please wave a magic wand and make me 65kg...:wizard:
Must be the day for tears....
Ive just been sitting here bawling because I can't find a comb... stupid I know. But Ive pulled the house apart. I own like 50 well at least three.... Gabes been playng with one of them..can't even find that. I usually put them back in the bathroom draw or on the enterance table. There was one here yesterday I've even been down and looked inthe car, emptied my bag, the baby bag, felt round the gaps int he lounge...looked under the lounge etc....:hair::hair::hair:
I really wanted to nip to the shop before g went to to sleep for some butter as Im going to visit my friend who had her mastectomy a few weeks ago tomorrow and wanted to take her some lemon cakes and some home made biscuits. I was going to do them lastnight, but g settled so late, then I discovered there was no butter.
Of course he's been getting more and more tired and cranky as I'm searching the house. I even put him in the spare (read junk) room so he could get into stuff and shush up while I looked..
What sort of sick house fairy steals ALL your combs:hair::hair:
so now of course Ive had to put him to bed.. no comb no butter no cakes for tomorrow as Ive got dance class tonight (with feral hair!) so he will settle for mum but no doubt wake after a couple of hours and be a ****e to get back down as per his pattern at the moment..
I should be outside now picking bloody apricots... but Im too over it all....
Im so tired and over it:crying:
Sorry I missed your post earlier, we all have those days...great big virtual hug!
BTW, think we left the music stand in the car park...$27 down the tubes..

Hi everyone:wave: i am back! Gastro was awful and i ended up giving it to my MIL and a friends who i visited the night befor ei was so sick so i felt pretty bad about that. Then Q had a viral infection and was a right pain as well as another tooth and just not sleeping so much fun!
Hi all,
well I am happy as I actually get some of Krudds money this time around with the one where people who worked last year criteria woo hoo!! we don't get either of the tax benefits so missed out last time. I know what you mean MOS about deserving it. I figure I have worked hard to get where I am and same with DH and paid all our taxes, and then get diddly squat! the money will probably go on debt though so not what krudd wants. We are going to register for the ceiling insulation for our house too, there is no means test for that.
BTW I am enrolling in a tax course, a small step to a new career!! need to do something different and it is only 1/2 day a week face to face so not too much time away from Pip. a bit nervous but also excited!
How exciting with your course, i love doing small courses and learning heaps plus a career change is always fun! And i think we will be getting some money too if it passes thru. DP is a student so yay more for the savings account!
Well done, sounds good. How long will it take and what do you plan on doing at the end of it?
We're going out for woodfired pizza tonight. Not sure where but the MIL said she's making some potato and egg thing withfrozen fish and chicken pieces so I called DH and told him. He said he'd eat it but wasn't too happy, so I told him I'd rather not, so we decided to go out. When I told the MIL not to worry about us, she shook her head and rolled her eyes, so I said "What's wrong?". She just said she's not cooking anymore. I asked what about her and the FIL, they still need to eat. She wasn't too happy. We pick one night a week where she's cooking something we don't want to eat and we go out - what's wrong with that? I don't want to eat frozen Aldi FAKE-FISH! Peuh!
OK so my selfish little whinge is over... I had a little cry as I was making DH's lunch. Sam was sitting in his high chair next to me and we were chatting but I had to run out to the back kitchen to grab a carrot and when I got back the FIL was taking him into the lounge room. As he was grabbing him I said "It's OK I'm back now" but he still took him... I didn't want to tell him no as I really didn't have a reason. It just sometimes feels like they're taking him from me when they do that. I just get a little defensive... so I had a little cry at the window whilst chopping veggies...
Whenever we mention moving out, the MIL says she's "keeping Sam" and even though I know she's only joking, it KILLS me inside. Last night DH told her when we move out we'll buy the FIL a dog as he loves Roxy so much (we know SHE doesn't love Roxy as much!)... but she said she doesn't want Roxy, just wants Sam. I told her Sam's not hers and DH suggested she have another baby and told her about some 68 year old woman in India...
I was just thinking, do you guys think it would be better to use my voucher for the proffessional shots of Sam while he's not got bruises all over him from trying to walk/crawl? They said to wait until he's sitting by himself as the voucher is valid until August... what do you guys think?
I would save the voucher for a little bit until he is happy sitting for awhile and playing by himself you will gte some great photos then.
And :hugs:for your IL trouble, i have only been here 2 weeks and i already have the sinking feeling in my tummy when they take Q away for a bit, today i turned around and couldn't find them anywhere and they had gone for a walk outside, i was just getting her highchair ready for tea which i thought clearly meant tea was ready but i guess not! And great photos too Sam is sucha cutie.
Holy cow you guys can
Im having a quiet arvo~ Casey is asleep had his swimming lesson @ lunch time....he kicks & splashes around so cute! goes under lots....
I have only 2kgs to my first goal (I hope I get weighed tonight!!!!!!!! Personal goal is 60kilos UTLIMATE GOAL is 55kgs........Im 5.4
I have brought a few new tops & pants but am waiting to drop a few more kgs...
Brought a pair of cute shorts from JJ's size 10 ..........size 12 is getting loose,but will buy another extra pair to go to Perth as its hot,need a jean pair....
BB you are amazing!! SIze 10 i can only dream of. You must have so much will power
Must be the day for tears....
Ive just been sitting here bawling because I can't find a comb... stupid I know. But Ive pulled the house apart. I own like 50 well at least three....

Oh C38 i hope the comb just magically turned up for you already. We all have those days where we cry over the smallest things, i have them often especially with a baby that refuses to sleep longer than 3 or 4 hours. I agree with however said forget about the apricots for a day or so or get some friends around and say what you pick you keep. My folks have an apricot tree too this year there is fruit everywhere
Ems I can't imagine a 179cm tall woman who weighs 70kg needing to lose weight! It doesn't sound horrendous at all! I'm about 179/180 and would love to be 70kg right now. Actually 75 is my ideal goal.
Wow you guys are tall! i am 176 and i would also love to be 70kg so ems i think you don't need to lose any, I am finding with Q on the move i am losing more plus netball pre season is working me hard so i am down to 75 only 5 to go!!
wow maybe I should try WW? I just keep getting fatter! With DD1 the weight just fell off and I was back to normal without any effort, but this time . I am clinging to hope that when I stop bf it will drop off (I heard that happens to some people...)

And i thought Geelong was bad! we had 4 days of awful heat and it will be back by the weekend but this week has been bearable. However last week we lost power on 2 days, it was even worse because it was when Q had a temp already and she just went so red in the heat o tried abthing her but she screamed so ended up in westfield where the ac was working. When it went down on friday i wasn't home cos i was a bridesmaid and staying with the bride poor DP had a bottle of milk he couldn't heat and had to boil water on the BBQ. Then had to walk her around the block to get her to sleep without ac.
Ok so so much :ecomcity: from me! but one more thing. had my best friends wedding on the weekend and it was so much fun!! Lost my milk form not feeding and just expressing for a couple of days but other than that it was great to get out and have dance and see friends. My friend looked incredible and my mum did a great job on her dress. you can see photos from facebook just on my page someone has tagged me in a bunch worth a look i say!
MybabyQ: So glad you're better that would have been the pits. I got food poisening on an island in the Whit Sundays once and it was 40+ deg, and we had to move out of our room as it was our last day...so you vacate your room at 10 but dont get picked upby the boat until 4.. I spent eh day laying on the balcony of the public bar...so I could RUN to the public loo nearby... It was rediculous. My DP tried to get them to let us keep the room but they refused...even witht eh infection risk of me vomiting and pooing in the shared toilet. Ew
Tiggles... :hair::hair:re the music stand.. Bet she happy with the violin though..
I'm over my tanti.. If Im stressed and cant find something it will tip me over everytime. I think it was because Im tired, and also my mum comes to mind Gabe on wed evenings so I can go to dance class. She's been on at me about the apricots and a few other things. She doesnt mean to but it makes me feel like a bad houseperson. Every year she goes on about the bloody apricots.. I really dont care. I've never had the time to bother with bottling or making sauce/jam etc.. usually just freeze some as they are and some pureed, This year they are tiny... only a bit worth...so too embarissing to invite people to come get. They really are only good for bottling...being tiny. My neighbours have had their fill. Mum actually has her own tree with decent ones on it. ... Maybe next year..when hes older, and as Ill only be working part time Ill surprise her by being all domestic.
I got some butter on the way home,wasthinking ofcooking tonight..but cant be bothered now. And I want to go to my friends early tomorrow as its going to be hot, like 28:laughing::laughing: (dont laugh those of you in the 40s etc..) and shes about 50mins away.. so I'll just stop at a nice bakery and buy something. I darn't cook her a caserole or anything as shes a gormet cook where as I'm not much of a cook as far as those kind of things go. She was telling me how she cooked and froze heaps of meals pre surgery to get her over the worst of post op..as her DH doesnt cook.. But is now back into it.. was making carrot and zuccini soup while I was talking to her the other night.
Anyhow must express before I bust...
thanks for all the hugs
Oh Mum found a comb... right down the arm of the lounge.. Goodness knows where the fairies hid the rest.. ... They take my hair ties too Ems!
BB if your doing nothing Friday and want to come get some tiny very ripe apricots your very welcome...or over the weekend. Though Im guessing by sunday after tomorrows hot they will be pretty much had it...
Its my turn to join in the crying.
It's 1:50 am and I've been awake since 11. Nicklas won't go to sleep, won't stop crying/screaming in his cot, but when I go in, he doesn't go to sleep, he just smiles at me. I can't go to sleep with him screaming, whereas DH can. But he does have to get up in 3 1/2 hours and go to work.
I am at my wits end. I actually yelled at him to just go to sleep already. I'm here to tell you that doesn't work. That's how I ended up here. At this point I don't care if he's waking all the neighbours. I am not dealing very well.
I don't know WTF his problem is? He has never been awake in the middle of the night for this long EVER. What if something is wrong with him? How would I even know? He doesn't have a fever. He's fine if I go in and pick him up - just looks around at everything and smiles.
Tomorrow is going to be a tough day I think.

:hugs:..........I was thinking what on earth are you doing up @ that hour :sleeping:
Your poor thing......if he was smiling maybe nothing was wrong :confused: maybe just woke & thought it was playtime.......wet or dirty nappy?(although you would have smelt that)
Too hot or cold? or he could just be waking for comfort:cloud9:...........maybe teeth & the only thing that soothes him is you picking him up & cuddling him....I know my two have done that.
Hope you get some rest today!

Well Casey finally went to sleep @ 8.30pm....he went down @ 7pm :rolleyes: he wasn't crying though....
He woke @ 4.30am I gave him a bottle & he got up @ 7am:D
Im so sore I had my back done yest,really deep massage...he said my pelvis is tilted(chiro said twisted:cool:) so thats why I had the pain in my lower back.....he said I should be feeling better by fri...he was really good,much better that the chiro as after that I felt no different.....:no:........I took some panadol early this morning as im sore....
He was recommended by the IL's he does lots of sports people etc,Im never had someone do my butt before:obut he needed to get to all the problem areas....he said my stomach muscles are prob weak(I said they are shot to peices after having both c-sections) and I have been slack with ab exercises so Im going to get on to that.......
So a easy day today,carpets getting cleaned.
Casey's room is coming along just needs to be painted,im waiting for new curtains for the boys room,blockout....
Must go......Motherhood calls:wave:
Oh thanks C38...see how I go for time.
Babywez, sorry you had such a bad night, hope you get some rest today.
C38, lol re the "hot" weather in Tassie, its 7.30am, 25 degrees and 845 humidity already, its going to be yucky and sticky here today. I hate the humidity.
Got mothers group today, should be nice.
:ecomcity::ecomcity: since I was last on.
babywez what a crappy night :hugs: Maybe just one of those nights when he couldn't sleep. I know I have those once in a while. Guess he just wanted some company for it. I know I huff and puff sometimes and wake DP up just to complain that I can't sleep :laughing:
BB your going to look so hot when you go to Perth in your size 10. I've tried my pre-preg size 10 stuff on and it's still tight and I get overhang, so not there yet.....
I drink diet lemonade. Sounds terrible I know, but it's filling. If I am feeling hungry I'll have a glass and it goes away. Prob drink about 2 litres a week :o
I'll tell you the BEST ab work out you can do. Get a fitball and lay down on your back. Raise your arms over your head so that they're resting flat on the floor, then place the fitball between your thighs. Then, at the same time, raise your arms over your head while lifting the fitball up with your legs. It's AGONY!!
c38 I wouldn't ever get time for those apricots either. You can only do so much.
I am also losing hair ties. Where DO they go?
Your friend sounds organised. Next bub I would like to be a bit more so. Freeze some low fat options as the first 6 weeks of having Sums I just ate and ate!
Bella QLD Ambulance installed our car seat for both rear facing and forward facing and put it on the left side. It's very secure though rear facing we needed a towel and also some sort of seatbelt clip thingy because it didn't have something or rather. Can't recall...
Well Sums slept from 8pm to 6.30am again. Seems to be her new sleep routine. Though she woke crying at 10pm, she just needed a cuddle :cloud9: so I popped her in bed with DP and I and she watched 5mins of tv with us and dozed off again so I popped her back in bed. She had a bottle at 6.30am and she's back in bed sleeping.
Us: Sums in CC today. I'm getting my brow wax and tint. Treadie run and fitball workout. MORE housework/washing. Fruit/veg shop.
Its my turn to join in the crying.

I know how you feel. and I too know the yelling doesnt work. That just frustrates you further. sometimes you just feel theres nothing else to do, even though you know its not going to work
:( :hugs:
MOS, I got prof. pics done when charlotte couldnt do much and they turned out dodgy. Definately wait I think
Ive been lurking lately sorry I havent been quoting

Thanks MOS and K8Y - yep Kidsafe installed ours when it was rear facing but can't get an appointment with them till a week Fri - I've moved it now to the side and it feels a lot more secure so will leave it there now till I get to see them. Took a towel last time and they didn't need to use it but will take it again this time just in case.
MOS- Pool is great thanks:D Still no fence up as there's a delay on the glass, but our garden is really secure and as DD isn't crawling we don't need to be too concerned. The woofer hasn't fallen in yet either, though we did catch her drinking the water from it:laughing: It was so nice to just cool off in there when it was so hot - got a feeling we'll get the use of it next week when it's back up to 38 degrees.
Well we were out walking at 7.30am - I've been feeling really gross as I haven't been walking anywhere near as much as I used to as it's been so damned hot, so made myself take the dog and baby out this morning - feel better now.
:hugs:Babywez - hope today goes better for you.
Got to try and make an appointment today for haircut and eyebrow wax - feeling like a hairy mammoth:no: It's just difficult to arrange as I'm either at work or have the baby with me, unless I persuade my OH to leave work a little early so that I can get a late appointment somewhere.

Hi girls,:wave:
Just wanted to pop in a say a quick hi. You probably haven't even noticed I was gone with all the chatter.
Had Michael's christening on the weekend and it was amazing. My beautiful sister in law from Canada came and went in 10 days. So I'm feeling very sad and empty.
Kirilly has an ear infection. Basically 1 tired mummy!
Hope you are all well.:hugs:
Hi DaisyBoo, It's nice to see people pop in every now and then if they're too busy to keep up. It's like you're still thinking about us - it's nice. Thanks. :goodvibes:
Its my turn to join in the crying.

Oh Babywez, sorry you had such a crappy night. :hugs: Was he arching his back or anything, like in pain? As the others have said, maybe he just wanted company. Sam woke up around 10pm last night screaming but it was like turning a tap off when he just stopped as soon as I lied him on our bed... went back to sleep within about 2 mins so I popped him back in his cot. He stayed there until 3:30 this morning so I'm happy with that... considering the last few weeks!
]Im so sore I had my back done yest,really deep massage...he said my pelvis is tilted(chiro said twisted) so thats why I had the pain in my lower back.....he said I should be feeling better by fri...he was really good,much better that the chiro as after that I felt no different............I took some panadol early this morning as im sore....
He was recommended by the IL's he does lots of sports people etc,Im never had someone do my butt before:obut he needed to get to all the problem areas....he said my stomach muscles are prob weak(I said they are shot to peices after having both c-sections) and I have been slack with ab exercises so Im going to get on to that.......
BB how much does the BUTT massage KILL?! I've had it done a few times because normally when you have back problems it spreads up and down, so neck and butt are affected by it too as you seem to compensate by using other muscles that you don't normally use, etc. But man, the ar$e massage is not pleasant at all! :D Ouchy on the butt cheeks! :p
Well I went for my walk again today. My walking buddy seems to get picked on by the oldies. She just texted me saying an old man stopped her on the street and told her she shouldn't be out walking with a baby in this heat, blah blah.... we both cover us and babies in sunscreen and cover with muslin so no chance of sunburn and although it's hot, there a nice cool breeze. They seem to always tell her off for one thing or another. Not sure what it is about her. She's been told off for drinking a beer at an RSL club (I do that all the time and she doesn't even BF!), she's been told off for drinking a coffee whilst pushing baby in pram... (hello? ALWAYS me!). I've never had anyone approach me. She must have a sign on her forehead inviting people to inflict their opinions on her. Anyone else copped un-wanted criticism from strangers?
Bought another copy of My Child today... :rolleyes: I told DH I didn't keep my receipt but probably won't win anyway. He said if it came down to winning such a big prize over a $9 receipt, I'll be in trouble... so I bought another. Will give to my friend on the weekend as I don't need 2! What bugs me though is it just says "magazine" on the receipt so I could have really bought any magazine... hmmm... *grumble-grumble*.
Well tummy grumbling, Sam sleeping and lunch and juice to sort for DH so must go. Back later.
didn't multi quote which was a bit silly...soo much to catch up on...sorry if I forget someone.
:hugs:c38 where do things disappear to???sorry you had a bad day and hope your dancing gave you some time out.
:hugs:babywez, Pip has done that to us a couple of times, makes absolutely no sense does it??
well done BB,, nearly there, I am the same height as you, though my goal is 58 (smallest I have ever been!). I am trying not to think about it all too much though as that is when I eat too much and put it on, despite exercising!
oh tiggles- you asked about the tax course, ITP and H&R block run them- just check out their websites!
MOS- my short term goal is to do the course and just be emloyed to do peoples returns and then maybe do some more study to be an accountant or a bookkeeper from home, also thinking about specialising in aviation tax as I would have lots of business through DH's work! the course goes until the end of June which is not too long and if I don't like it, it will still help us!
daisyboo and mybabyq- good to hear from you, glad the christening and weddings went well.
anyway going to organise some carpet cleaning and other stuff so better go...
Hi everyone!:wave:
Havent been around for a while. the reason being that our computer died in the heat last week. Apparently the thingummy thats connected to the whats-its-name blew, and we just needed a replacement doover....and all fixed!
So, I havent had much chance to catch up with all the posts. Liams asleep but due to wake up any minute now. Hes bottom 2 teeth are peeping through finally:yelclap:
While the weather isnt as bad as last week, its still stinking hot. Would love to go to the beach, but not ready to take Liam, nor canI be bothered driving an hour away.
Have an absolute heap of vegies there to puree for Liams meals, but its just too hot, and I cant be bothered.
Housework-y jobs need doing, so best be off. Will try and catch up on all your news tonight and get some personals done. In the meantime take care:flowerz:
Hi Kyles :wave: Nice to hear from you. I love your avatar by the way.
And k8y, I meant to say the other day that Summer looks soooo grown up in your avatar - very cute! :goodvibes:
Well lunch and juicing done, Sam still sleeping... might get off and do some ironing. I took a look at my legs this morning and switched my wax appointment from Tues to Sat as they were SOOOO bad. It's 9am so I hope Sam's well behaved...
I popped into the photgraphy place where we've got the voucher for and I asked the lady in there when's the best time to get them done. She said between 7 and 10 months is the best time. She also said it's best BEFORE his teeth start to come through as they seem to be much more placid pre-teeth. She said to bring a cute outfit if I want but nudie shots are the best... ummm, what else? She said best to do before he starts to walk too. I asked about touching them up as he seems to keep on being bitten by mozzies on the face and always seems to have a big red dot somewhere. She said they can get rid of those in the pics if needed too. Oh! And she showed me the SMALLEST pic and told me if I want extras, they start at $35! :eek: My jaw dropped and I said "OH MY GOD!" (probably looked really tight!). So my package is for an 8x12inch or something and the shoot... but if I want just ONE extra 6x4inch, it's $35?! :eek::eek::eek: (Had to use 3 there, as one just didn't seem enough!).
Well I hope the pics are AWFUL as I don't want to spend that much! I've seen the pics on their walls though and they're DEVINE! - It's Morffew Photos if anyone's interested. Might go check out their website - they have some great pics.
:hair::hair::hair::hair::hair:
well I am officially Crazy, MAD, Looney
Today I can't find my mobile phone
I realised on the way to dance class lastnight that it wasn't in my bag. No big deal, as mum can ring the resturant its above if theres a problem..
Went to get it this am before driving to friends house, as she lives about 50minutes away, down a windy dirt road...no way Im going without the phone.
well I can hear it..but I can't find it!!!
Have been looking since 830, have headache from searching. Poor Gabe anf Noah getting yelled at to sush so I can try and hear where the dam thing is. It only rings for about 10sec then goes to voice box..so you just start to think you got ht direction and it stops....so you go to that area and its sounds fainter..but stops before you can work it out... Grrr
Its obviously UN something.. have checked bags ..bags I havent used for years even.. cushion covers , dogs blankets, basket,beansbag,under the poofah, around sides of couches. I kep getting smss from someone too...aghhh he baterry will be flat soon
Needles to say I didn't go to the friends...
I got up at 7 and make bscuits too... but my brain was obviously out of wack then too as I ut 2 cups of sugar and one of flour instead of the other way.... so they are all falky and the jam has kinda burnt holes in them...so that was a waste... aghhhh
Am going to have acuppa and stop looking. Gabe WONT sleep either..hes in cot whingy between playing..did the same this am for 3/4 of an hour before I gave in... SO everytime I try to her the few seconds of phone ring he picks to start whinging again...of course...or throws something noisy like his dummy.. and the musical toy thing which he managed to untie from his cot..aghhhh
Babywez prehaps you need to come here and you can find my phone then sleep while I take the acitve wakeful little men for 3 laps of crawling round the school oval behind me... then they might go to sleep.
SOrry about your horrid night.... I havent actually shouted but Ive sworn at him..then felt awful and cried with him on one of those days/nights with no sleep.. I can quite understand how people shake babies...not that I would ever do it... but I can understand how frustrated and easy it would to do in a moment
aghh...silence..think hes asleep....
migt just ring the mongrel one more time...
BLOODY HOUSE FAIRIES
have a comb today though...so at least I look good..er better..:laughing:

C38 your funny :laughing:.......my DH always goes mad at me as I put things away & forget where I put them....:D
Hello Daisyboo.....:wave:hope the infection clears quickly.
MOS my butt is sore......:p
K8y thanks I have a few fitballs,havent used it since I was pregnant as thats the only thing I sat on....I still have a wobbly belly... I think a tummy tuck would be the only way to get rid of the stretched skin...not nice....:no: after 2
caesars my stomach muscles are not good at all,but thats because DS1 c-section was so rough,I still have what I call a spare tyre around my waist....:o..oh im the same with coke 0..hahaha
Thanks MOS, she does look grown up doesn't she *sigh*... It seems ever since we had her seat turned, she's decided she's a big girl now. She just 'does' more now IYKWIM? and even her attitude, she's getting too smart the cheeky monkey. Appropriate name there too as her little bag cupboard at CC is the 'monkey' one lol
Can say that I have not a one person criticise what I do with bubs (ie strange people where it's none of their business). Honestly though, I can be quite forthright so if someone dared, they would feel my wrath :shame:
MOS they suck you in those photographic places don't they. Just warning you now so you know, they'll do photos that are so amazing you CAN'T NOT buy them. Thats how they suck you in more. Be prepared to purchase a few :D
c38 :hugs: hope you find your phone before the battery goes flat. Mine is always in the bottom of my bag and never reached in time until it stops ringing, and thats usually after I've thrown everything out of said bottomless bag in a ridiculous hissy fit to find it while DP always looks at me like I'm an insane lunatic :devil6:
No worries BB. My tummy is definite more jelly like. Fitball exercises with it are def making a diff though :thumbsup:
So no more personals. Have been exercising and houseworking so I really stink and need a shower.
Had a brow wax/tint this morning. I managed to time this next appt (go every 3/4 weeks) so it wouldn't coincide with AF and whadda ya know, AF is 4 days late and the waxing hurts like a b!tch.
:geek: I HATE IT WHEN SHE TAKES HIM :geek::geek::geek::geek::geek:
"Bedder in here, too hot in der"... :ecomcity::geek:

Hey girls
MOS - Coke to strip brake fluid?! Christ. I've know the one about cleaning silver jewellery in it. Crazy what we put in our bodies, really. Good luck resisting the photos...
Bella - Khirra's still rearfacing, so I can't help, sorry! She's going to be backward for a long while yet... she'd probably prefer to be turned around, but she's still only 7kg. Too much of a mini.
Dondons - I don't know how you guys have been coping in that heat... must be just awful.
Tiggles - oh no! Have you found the music stand yet? I HATE it when you leave something you've just bought at the shops or the like... the worst feeling!
MBQ - Glad you're feeling better hun! I haven't had a look at the pics yet but will have a squizz when I'm finished here. Love wedding photos :D
Babywez - sorry for your awful night hun. I know if ever I've been frustrated and felt myself getting a bit wild at Kiz it's been in the middle of the night when I just want to be sleeping. But like BB said, sometimes they just need a cuddle or to have a quick play... they're not aware of the time after all, despite us repeatly telling them exactly what time it is! Sometimes you just need to take a deep breath. Hope you've been able to get some catch-up rest today.
BB - I second K8y - you're going to look amazing. Your hubby better watch out once you're over there out of the woolies of Tassie and in your skimpy new gear :p
K8y - Summer's doing an awesome job with her sleeping! :yelclap: Khirra's slept in until 7.30 this morning, but I know it won't last - it's just because she feels like sh*t, lol. And yay a brow wax. I live for brow waxes, lol, I feel so scruffy if they're overgrown.
DaisyBoo - good to hear from you. Hope Kirilly feels better soon, poor muppet!
And hey everyone else :wave:
Well, Khirra's temps have been close to normal since last night BUT she broke out in a red splotchy bumpy rash on her face, neck and back last night. So I took her to the late night chemist to get an opinion and he said it looked either viral or perhaps it was an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. Bought her back home and I slept pretty badly watching her all night. This morning she's covered in the rash - head, face, neck, whole torso, arms, tops of her thighs, and lightly on her legs. Looks horrible. So took her to the Dr again. He said it's most probably viral, but possibly a reaction, so we've halved the antibiotic dose. If it keeps getting worse and worse, it'll be a reaction. If not, we assume it's viral. She's still smiling between snippets of being cranky and over it though, so she's not too sick I guess. I just want her to get over it so she feels better and I can stop worrying, lol.
And thanks for the :goodvibes: about the weightloss. I don't deserve to much credit yet though, all I've done is stop binging on all the **** I shouldn't be eating anyway, lol. Babywez, I know I don't need to loss weight; I'm not overweight or anything, it's just a matter of feeling comfy in my clothes and stuff again. DP when probbed (he normally avoids answering weight questions like the clever man he is, lol) said I was looking 'relaxed'. Read: chubby. lol Very dipolmatic though.
Oh, and on a good note, DP starts back at work on Monday. He gave himself a holiday until after Christmas when we came back, and since then has been offered about 4 jobs, but has been knocking them back as they're not offering the money he wants. This job came at a good time though, because we're starting to eat into our savings a fair bit. Pays $45 an hour, so can't complain. Plus it gets him out of my hair again :laughing:. Noo, it's been great having him around. I think Khirra will miss having him about all the time. So we're going to stay at my Mum's for a couple more months as they're doing another roadtrip for my stepdad's business around QLD in March, and they need a housesitter, so it works out well. Can look for a place we like in the meantime.
Anyway, I've rabbited on like crazy. Sorry. lol I couldn't go to Mum's Group this morning, so I must be missing my gasbag session, hehe.
Oh dear, MOS :hugs: rotten MIL. If she takes him like that again, make up something that you need to do with him/for him and just snatch him back.
I'd say to you just tell her to stop doing it, but I know she just doesn't listen :hair:

:hugs:MOS:hugs:
I'm trying to think of something clever, shocking yet unarguable you can say to her....
but nothing is coming to mind... sorry...
:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
Gosh, mammoth post ems. Very impressed :yelclap:
Well am still here unshowered. DP will come home wondering if I've done anything all day besides my brow wax and bubhubs :laughing: Must think me a lady of leisure. House is tidy which takes some effort but not CLEAN yet. Best get off buttocks as only an hour now till I have to pick Sums up. Have to make it look like I do something.....lol
Oh bugger, I remembered I want to stop in at the store before picking Sums up. Don't like to leave it till after as I get caught in traffic and all the mums brigade picking up kidlets from school (which really I'm a part of aren't I? :laughing:).....
Whoops forgot to give you these ems :hugs:
Poor Khirra getting a rash on top of being sick. I hope it's not itchy for her? You must be feeling tired from all the worry and stress. They need an alcoholic emoticon so I can pass you a drink to go with that hug.
ok so ive been lurking a little but honestly everytime i get a chance to get on here i read a page or 2 then before i can post someone needs something:hair:. honestly these kids are getting on my nerves lately.dd is obviously coming into puberty she is either cranky and snappy at everyone or cries at the slightest thing. thats it theres nothing in between. i swear those damn house fairies have stolen my lovely daughter and left me with a hormonal maniac!prob wont last long though right? lmao prob only another 8 yrs or so:hair:. now im thinking boys arent so bad.
well my big boy started big school this week and is doing great so far. check him out http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/photo.php?pid=297538&id=1275856093&ref=mf
dylan has cracked another tooth so now he has the 2 at bottom so cute. still not crawling lazy little fella, saves all his energy for night time. still not sleeping, goes down late say 10pm gets up early say 5am and gets up prob 3-6 times in between. im going seriously crazy from lack of sleep. still cat napping 30 mins twice a day. i really think he just doesnt need much sleep he is pretty happy all the time just never tired. hopefully when he starts to crawl he will get more tired.
Hi everyone!
Havent been around for a while. the reason being that our computer died in the heat last week. Apparently the thingummy thats connected to the whats-its-name blew, and we just needed a replacement doover....and all fixed!
That made me laugh out loud! Glad you're back!!
I popped into the photgraphy place where we've got the voucher for and I asked the lady in there when's the best time to get them done. She said between 7 and 10 months is the best time.

I hoped our pics were awful too when we went to Pixi Foto. But they were stunning, and we spent $375!!!!!! And then another $300 framing the stupid things! They are gorgeous and staying on our walls forever. The next baby will just have to feel unloved b/c there will be none of it! ;)
Today I can't find my mobile phone
well I can hear it..but I can't find it!!!
Babywez prehaps you need to come here and you can find my phone then sleep while I take the acitve wakeful little men for 3 laps of crawling round the school oval behind me... then they might go to sleep.
SOrry about your horrid night.... I havent actually shouted but Ive sworn at him..then felt awful and cried with him on one of those days/nights with no sleep.. I can quite understand how people shake babies...not that I would ever do it... but I can understand how frustrated and easy it would to do in a moment
I couldn't find my phone the other day - kept calling it, could hear it, but every time I went to where I thought it was, it sounded like it moved to the other side of the room! Turned out it was down between the couch cushions! I felt soooooo guilty yelling at Nick. He doesn't know any different, poor kid. He finally fell asleep feeding in the spare bed - brought him in here so as to not disturb DH.
Oh, and on a good note, DP starts back at work on Monday. He gave himself a holiday until after Christmas when we came back, and since then has been offered about 4 jobs, but has been knocking them back as they're not offering the money he wants. This job came at a good time though, because we're starting to eat into our savings a fair bit. Pays $45 an hour, so can't complain. Plus it gets him out of my hair again .

Can look for a place we like in the meantime.
Wow that is great for him to be getting so many job offers in this ecomony! What does he do? I might have to look into it! ;)
I don't think he was in any pain at all, I think he just wasn't tired, didn't realise it was the middle of the night, and was really upset that I was trying to put him to bed! Hopefully tonight will be better. He's bouncing around in his jolly jumper so hopefully wearing himself out! :laughing:
And he's sick of the jumper. Better go get him cleaned up and gather DH's stuff. We're picking him up from work, I'm going to tennis, then we're having dinner at mum's. Tried to make no plans for this weekend, but Sat am is swim lesson for Nick, Sat arvo is tennis for me, and Sun am dad and his Mrs are coming over for morning tea then staying and watching Nick for a couple of hours. DH and I might go shopping and to the beach, or something. So much for not doing anything!!
between the 3 kids i have spent thousands on proffessional photos. i dont care i love them. now i can hardly remember hailey as a baby and i wish i had more:crying:, spend up mos its worth it. i do however scrooge on the frames. i find after a few yrs they all need to be updated changed around and now i need some more of dylan so he looks as loved as the others.
:hair:no phone still.... definatly inside something in the lounge or kitchen.. as noise keeps moving.:hair:
but I found three combs:D
:hugs:mos
somo3..he looks so grown up. Glad he's getting on ok. How receptive was the teacher to your letter??
c38, maybe Noah ate it :confused::laughing:
SMO3 I agree re the photos.
TJust warning you now so you know, they'll do photos that are so amazing you CAN'T NOT buy them. Thats how they suck you in more. Be prepared to purchase a few
I must of got a dud. Ive only done ONE sessiobn she was like 4 months old.
They were really unimpressive. I could take better myself. And by the end of it, she was using tacky props and I just got sick of it and left. Didnt even bother with the comlimenary one. they were SOO expensive.. it was the portrait place at myer..
Can anyone recommend a GOOD place?
:geek: I HATE IT WHEN SHE TAKES HIM :geek::geek:
LOL :hugs:
Oh dear, MOS :hugs: rotten MIL. If she takes him like that again, make up something that you need to do with him/for him and just snatch him back.
I'd say to you just tell her to stop doing it, but I know she just doesn't listen
yeah Id totally do that. I do actually. Any lame *** excuse and she;s out of there. Sleep.. food.. nappy..bath..
Oh bummer stg.
I found my photographer listed here on the bubhub site.... I've never tried a portrait place though so I can't offer any advice for up this way.
My photo package was $$$ being $900 BUT all up that included 4 sessions (where she takes them whereever you want - though we just chose at home) of maternity, newborn, 6 months and 12 months. We get 8 photos all up printed (a 6 x 8 and an 8 x 12 from each session) plus a CD of 40 photos of our choice taken over the whole package and a storyboard. So for $900 I think it's really a bargain and she's selling herself a bit short. I know she does other baby packages though stg (smaller less $$ ones too) as obviously you don't want the maternity/newborn stuff!!! But if you've seen the professional pics I've posted on facebook you'll see she's really good.
Question have been meaning to ask:
How often does everyone clean their bubs toys? and what do you use?
BeautifulBoys
05-02-2009, 18:53
Hot soapy water K8y,I stay clear of the chemicals with there toys.....I must clean them again :D how often....hmmmm not that much really if I can see spew on them.....Lol
MOS :geek: Grrrrrrr that bl00dy MIL of your's.....
:wave:Allo SMO3.....I was wondering where you got too....
Nighty Nighty :sleeping:
Question have been meaning to ask:
How often does everyone clean their bubs toys? and what do you use?
Huh?! :o OK when he vomits on something I use baby wipes..... but maybe I should clean his toys soon... :o
:smiliedance::smiliedance:found it..had a sudden aha moment. After Play Group I went for coffee with my mum, while we were sitting in teh shooing centre food hall, there were a group of teenage girls who came and stood near the pram..I looked down and noted my phone and wallet next to gabe...so i nudged them under the sheepskin. I brought some cheap Tshirts onthe way out...so obviously got my wallet but forgot the phone.
The pram was in the garage..under the house..under the lounge.Hense why I could hear it but NOT find it...:o
YAY ..it was driving me insane...did you guess. Not to tears like yesterday..but close!
I publically appologise to any house fairies, elves etc that may be reading for cussing you. I obviously was at fault with the phone. The pink comb I found under the strap of Gabe's rocker, Im not so sure about..and the comb I found in the draw where the bills get thrown...hmmm I would NEVER put a comb there:rolleyes:
Just watched that new Bodi Vet...:crying::crying:
I love vet shows... Gabriel sat on my knee and watched too.. he was screaming (happy scream) whent eh penguin was on there..
He actually went nutso over the Telle tubbies this morning..usually he barely looks at tv, bar the Sorbent add..
I just use washing up detergent and hot water too to wipe over his toys (same treatment bottles, teats and dummies get), and like wise I don't do it regularly, more when I see spew.. And once I did them all ..when the ants were bad.

:hugs::hugs::hugs: to all you Mummys who are having a bit of a rough time of it lately.
You are not alone!
I think this is the hardest it has been so far with Elliot, this age. I almost called that hotline today to say "help! I want to yell at him LOTS!" :no: Not good.
The bottom line I guess is that it is normal and that it will pass soon. Hang in there my lovely ladies! You are all doing such a great job.
xxxx
Yay for finding the phone C38! That is funny. My mum misplaced her sunnies the other day, even called her cousin to see if she'd left them out at their farm on Australia Day. They were in her living room. Somewhere she'd never put them, and no one can figure out why she ever put them there! :rolleyes:
MOS I thought the same thing "Clean the toys?" HA. Could we throw them in the washing machine?
K8Y your pics are gorgeous and if we weren't having some done in the States w/ DH's family, I'd definitely get her to do some 1 year old shots. And $900 is a great deal for 4 sessions and all those photos! I'd like to do that for the next bub, except I didn't do it for Nicklas and would feel bad that I didn't have maternity/newborn/6/12 month photos of both of them. Although, could probably get her to do them and Nicklas would be included...will cross that bridge when we get to it I guess!
:fingerscrossed: for a good night for all bubs! Think I'm off to bed myself.
Well I don't do mine that often either so I was wondering how often everyone cleaned their bubs toys.
It's just that she's forever sticking them all in her mouth and their on the floor and our dogs are inside dogs :rolleyes: Some toys go in the washing machine and the plastic type ones I was in soapy water in the sink so I guess I'm doing it right :laughing:
c38 I watched bondi vet too, very good show :thumbsup: *drool* *drool*
Well DH and I had a big chat last night. He thinks we should put Sam in the spare room now. I don't want to and we'd agreed on 12 months so I feel a little ripped off. He was considering Sam's needs as he seems to wake a few times after falling asleep. He REALLY settles around 10pm now as gets up and down a few times in some kind of pain. I told him Sam might be teething, so how is putting him 2 rooms away going to make him feel safe and secure? My biggest issue is the MIL contantly walking into THIS room. If I go out to the toilet, I come back and she's chatting to Sam. It's like she waits for me to leave and she RUNS. It sh!ts me. DH said he thinks I pick on her and sometimes WAIT for her to do things so I can snap... maybe he's right. Sometimes she just gets on my nerves without doing a thing. I told him how my blood boils when she talks about keeping Sam here when we move out. He said she's just being a grandmother, I suppose he's right... still makes my blood boil. I feel very protective of Sam around her. I want to do things my way as she's always trying to tell me how to do things or what's best for him... so there's a reason to my madness.
I dunno... DH is scared I'm going to leave him which will NEVER happen. I told him yes, I want to leave HERE but WITH him.
Anway with Sam 2 rooms away, and us in here, I can just imagine her being in there at the slightest sound. He said we would tell her not to go in there at all, but it would still mean I have to get up and get dressed to get him for his 3-4 am feed... then try and settle him back in the cot. Now, with DH getting up at 5am, I put Sam in with me around 4am and go back to sleep while he feeds. I don't get any comments from the MIL as she doesn't know since the cot's in our room anyway. I feel I would be completely under fire if the cot was in the spare room and Sam was never in it each morning. Why should he be in another room from his mummy when daddy's at work and there's a huge king size bed? I love our mornings together... and don't want to be having a conversation about it with someone else as I'm bringing him into our bedroom at 4am. I also don't want to share our mornings with the IL's. (I say this as he pulls at my hair for attention!).
Man he smells of wee! GROSS! Oh and he just farted next to my head! :rolleyes: Such a BOY! Why would I want to share this? OUCH! KICKING IN HEAD! :cool:
Today's cleaning day but I might just NOT do it... I know she CAN do it but just would rather watch me run around doing it... don't think I could just leave it though. Oh well...
Sorry for the whinge. I cried a lot last night at the thought of Sam so far away... it wouldn't be an issue if we were in our own place as all doors would be open and I could run through the house naked no worries. Here both doors would be shut and there would be the MIL waiting to pounce. I love being the first thing Sam seems in the morning. I get the biggest smiles and I love them all... :(
oh c38- poor thing that phone teased you being in the garage, glad you found it.
every so often I get her toys and wash them with dishwashing liquid or disinfectant, just give them a wipe.
lambkin :hugs: they get very clingy about now, which is pretty scary as we are used to them being able to amuse themselves.
MOS:hugs:I actually never had Pip in our room (there is simply no room to do it!) but I agree with you and I think you would be even more upset about living there if you kept finding your MIL in the room- maybe say that to DH, I hate it when my own mum gets up to get to Pip when she stays over and that is only occasionally!
well nothing new around here, played indoor soccer for my brother last night, we won, but am tired this morning as I also started the second book in the twilight series- k8y you are right they are addictive so was late to sleep.
oh I just picked our first strawberries off our plant this morning- they look good. can't wait for the rest of them to come through, our squash and eggplant plants are going nuts but no fruit yet!
:hugs: MOS. I agree, if you were in your own house that is one thing, but from what you've told us, that MIL of yours would beat you to that spare room every time there was a noise. And does your DH really think telling her to stay out is going to keep her out?! Because I don't! Can you stand your ground on this one or is the discussion over? Why does he think you're going to leave him? Bc of his mother?
Nicklas slept better last night, thank God. Woke up at 3 so I just fed him in our bed and he stayed there until almost 6, which is good. He seems to have broken that 4:22 am wake up pattern!
I'm so glad its Friday. I love having DH home for the weekends. We wanted to have a quiet one this weekend, but with Nick's swimming, my tennis, DH has some things around the house to do...then Sunday dad wants to watch Nick for a few hours so we can go out, but we have no idea what we're going to do!
babywez, DH has always said I'm too good for him, he doesn't deserve me, etc. He now thinks I'm going to get the sh!ts with this whole loving with the IL's thing and get a better offer. Not sure if he's serious or not but I'd never do that and I love him to death and can't reassure him enough.
And he agreed to leave it until he's 12 months but has told me it's something that's going to have to be done in the end anyway. At least I still have some time to get used to the idea. And yes we're BOTH going to go off at her if she so much as sticks her ear to the door! We're going to tell her not to go in there when he cries before we even move the cot. Then we have reason to tell her off if she goes in there.
Cleaning day today... bestie just called and invited me to the shops then beach (with Sam of course!) but the shops she wants to go to are MILES away and I can't do the beach the day before a wax appointment (I need HEDGE CLIPPERS!). Would have been nice...
Sorry no personals from me, just catching up.
I have shocking gastro, started at 2am this morning, the stomach cramps are unbearable. On a good note, at least Im not vomiting.

:hugs:tiggles - I really hope it goes away for you soon.
MOS - you are a saint! I really don't know how you live there. I can't imagine living with anyone else, and I wouldn't be putting Sam anywhere else if I were you. Like you said it'd be different if you were in your own house. DD was in her own room at 10 weeks - the first night killed me but at least I could walk (or run) to her room in my undies and not worry about anyone seeing me. Is is really worth living there with all the hassle you get???
Well we were out for our morning walk at 7.30 again - a lot chillier this morning so got to dress DD in leggings and a little hoodie and socks - 1st time she's had so many clothes on in ages.
I am sat in the study and the little girl across the road is being taken to school by her grandma and is screaming her head off for her mummy - must be first week for her I think - I'm covered in goose bumps listening to her and dreading the day when it comes for me:no:
Off to Mothers Group this morning. Talk later x
:hugs:Tiggles..gastro cramps are the worst.. Do you have anything with codeine in it..ie Panadine... that helps
MOS I don't get what advantage it is to move Sam out.
I just got a phone call from a CC centre.. my second choice... Offering 2 days from end of Feb..OMG So Ive said I'll definatly have from week after Easter... but will get back to them about starting maybe one day a week from March to get him used to it...:crying::crying::crying:
I should be happy I know..but I don't want o go back to work, I don't want someone else being there for my boy.. as much as Im going crazy (losing stuff etc)... I just wanna be his mum

Sure sure... just want to lose weight like so many others, eh?! Just kidding. Hope you get better soon. :hugs:
MOS I don't get what advantage it is to move Sam out.
Well his reasoning is that he will sleep better without us in the room watching TV, etc. We kind of LIVE in this room. So I told him I will LIVE in the OTHER room WITH MY SON! :D
We've settled on 12 months now anyway. I think he may be teething or something as he's been crying in pain, not just grumbling IYKWIM?
And :hugs: to you re the CC thing. I know what you mean when you say you want to be Mr G's mum. I said it to DH last night. I told him I want to be his mum and I feel like the MIL thinks SHE'S his mum or is trying to take my place. I guess I feel threatened when she starts talking about keeping him and makes out like she knows what he wants all the time, etc, etc... I could go on... but won't do that again. :o
My point is that DH said to me that he KNOWS I'm his mummy from the way his eyes light up when he looks at me and the way he settles so easily when I pick him up when he's crying or the way he cries with someone else then suddenly stops when with me. Mr G will always be your son and you will always be the mummy... but I understand how sometimes it doesn't feel like that. :hugs:
The MIL just picked up te vacuum cleaner... then realised Sam was asleep so didn't. So she ALMOST tried to help me! I wonder if she actually WILL help by vacuuming when Sam wakes up... I don't mind if she vacuums - then I can mop behind her - EASY!
Thanks c38, I have a pack of "Panadeine 15" it has codeine and paracetamol, is this ok to take?
I must be sick, Ive been watching Kerrianne...

Oh Tiggles, maybe you need hospitalising! YUCKO! Bleuh! :barf: Pheeuuuu!!!
Doesn't it frustrate you the way she asks someone a question and then TALKS OVER THEIR ANSWER?! :hair: (I haven't seen a show in YEARS for this reason - am NOT a closet Kerrianne Fan). :no:
Hi
I took the panadeine about an hour ago, so no cramping now, which is a relief. Many thanks c38!!!!
I even had a slice of vegimite toast and an Earl Grey tea, and feel much more human. Hopefully my tummy is on the mend.

Well, Khirra's temps have been close to normal since last night BUT she broke out in a red splotchy bumpy rash on her face, neck and back last night. So I took her to the late night chemist to get an opinion and he said it looked either viral or perhaps it was an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. Bought her back home and I slept pretty badly watching her all night. This morning she's covered in the rash - head, face, neck, whole torso, arms, tops of her thighs, and lightly on her legs. Looks horrible. So took her to the Dr again. He said it's most probably viral, but possibly a reaction, so we've halved the antibiotic dose. If it keeps getting worse and worse, it'll be a reaction. If not, we assume it's viral. She's still smiling between snippets of being cranky and over it though, so she's not too sick I guess. I just want her to get over it so she feels better and I can stop worrying, lol.
Lots of hugs hun. Hope Khirra gets over this soon. I know what you must be going through and a rash on top of it. It breaks my heart each time Kirilly gets sick. :kiss:
Sorry no personals from me, just catching up.
I have shocking gastro, started at 2am this morning, the stomach cramps are unbearable. On a good note, at least Im not vomiting.
Hope you get better soon. It's one of the worst things to get.:kiss:

I had to put Kirilly in care when she was 11 months old so I could go back to work. So I know how you feel. Will have to do the same for Michael in May. It breaks your heart and the first week you wonder whether you have done the right thing. I didn't want to go back to work either (so I got pregnant again) but in the long run I ended up enjoying it. I was me again and not Kirilly's mum fulltime. Does that make sence? Does that sound bad?
Hi everyone!
Am a bit frustrated atm. My bestie (whose stepdad passed away) was meant to come over tonight, but due to other circumstances which I totally understand, she cant make it....I just get so BOOOOORRREEED sometimes! In fact this morning, I thought Im almost ready to go back to work part time:eek: Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love staying at home playing with Liam, but I get so sick of being in the house, sometimes my only outing is to do the weekly groceries! Please tell me Im not the only one who feels like this?
Babywez - Glad Nick slept better for you last night. :fingerscrossed:he continues for you.
Tiggles - hope you feel better really soon, although from your last post, sounds like your coming good again.
C38 - glad you found your phone. :hugs:re your feelings about putting G in CC. As the others have said, YOU are his Mum, and he knows that, and nothing will ever change that.
Ems - Hope Khirra gets better for you really soon, poor thing.
hi to everyone else Ive missed:wave:
No news here. Ive just pureed up the vegies for Liams meals while hes asleep. This week hes having potato, sweet potato, swede, parsnip, zucchini, carrots, and baby pasta. Im sitting at the computer in my bra and shorts, pouring with sweat. Tomorrow is going to be out of control again. Adelaide girls, I just dont know how you can put up with it!
Anyway, this is just waffle now, so will go and bring washing in. Have a great afternoon all and a good weekend and take care

Does your DH get much sleep with Sam in the room....as my DH wouldn't,Casey is just outside our door but going down stairs shortly.....but like you said you both agreed on 12months.....sorry DH you WIN! :D

MOS & Lambkin - I'm happy for a meet. Am also happy to have it at my house so the boys can play if you like.
SMO3 -Glad your DS is enjoying school. Mine is too. Makes a difference from DD crying every morning in kindy!
Daisy Boo -Good to 'see' you again!
Well Chais is 9 months on Sunday, can you believe it! He had his 9 month check up with the paed today & he was happy with him.
At 9 months he's 7.8kg (5th %ile), 71.5cm (50th %ile) long & his head is 45.5cms (just over 50th %ile).
He wants us to slowly wean him of the Losec & see how he goes. He can still hear the hole in his heart, so he's booked him in for an echo in April. Developmentaly he was happy with what he's doing, so overall a good visit.
Oh, he also wants me to stop putting his dummy back in over night & just let him scream it out. He says after doing this for 3 days it should fix the problem. Will be trying this tonight, but not sure how I'll go. BB how long did it take you?
Well I'm not looking forward to the 40 + days we're supposed to have this weekend :(

Oh I feel for you..thats hot alright:sunshine:
It took about Casey about a week or so(as did DS1 he was 8months old)but he can still grizzle now & then,but usually he just sucks on his blankie & goes to sleep,I did the routine of listening to his crys,I timed how long he cryed then went in & turned him on his side & patted his bottom till he was nearly asleep & stayed for the time limit if he was still screaming I walked out again this is all timed...and repeated it over until he fell asleep....the night I thought was easier actually over the day sleeps....
Goodluck:thumbsup:

I understand :hugs: I have felt that way,but now with two im so flat out....we are out most days....playgrps,catching up for coffee,mums grps,swimming etc...only day im mostly at home is Fri...my catch up day...but I do spend most afternoons home & mornings im out.
I think about going back to work part time:doh:but Im a H/dresser so Im looking at setting up a salon downstairs...When I just had Jacob I got more bored....I did go out walking etc/shops.. but Perth is so damn hot I did feel stuck inside sometimes....
Enjoy your time with him....they grow up too fast:goodvibes:
I even had a slice of vegimite toast and an Earl Grey tea, and feel much more human. Hopefully my tummy is on the mend.
Oooohh... you know when you hear about something and you automatically FEEL like it? Well I'm off for a cup of tea (which I haven't delt like in MONTHS) and some veggie toast when I've finished this post - Thanks! ;)

Doesn't sound bad at all. I think EVERYONE says that... which sometimes makes me wonder if I SHOULD go back to work or actually look for something I'll enjoy part time or casual. We'd be out of this house sooner... DH often says the only thing that's going to get us out of here quicker is me working. I dunno... I wish I was less indecisive! :rolleyes: When I worked for my old boss even just one day here and there, I always felt sick when I had to go and never wanted to leave him with the MIL... so what makes me think I'd enjoy something else?.... I suck.
Mos.....I wouldn't want to move Sam either if my MIL was like yours..(sorry) but my MIL wouldn't go into his room etc,she would stay out of it,or she would ask me first like do want me to get him etc,I get it that its so much easier when you are B/F half naked etc to have Sam close,so do you think you keep Sam awake?

No need to apologise at all! I agree... but Sam's been stirring on and off from when he goes down around 8pm until around 10pm. I think it's wind after his last feed as he farts LOTS, but DH reckons it's the TV keeping him up because it's on for those hours... I think we'll try maybe watching Arabic TV with the IL's for a few nights to see if Sam still wakes - then we'll know if it's our TV or not. They're just gone out to the club so we've got a night of peace! :smiliedance: I told the MIL I was making homemade Burgers for DH (at his request) and offered to get her something vegetarian (since it's Friday) but she said "I dunno"... so I took that as her going out!

kotakai, sounds like Chais is going REALLY well - 50% percentile! He's one tall little man that's for sure! I'd be happy for a meet anywhere so see what Lambkin says. But if we do it at your place we'll bring some nibblies as it's not fair for us to lob in on you and eat your food, etc since I won't be able to re-pay the favour for a year or two! :D
How's your bump too? Do you have progress pics?
We bought the MIL a gold piggy bank while we were shopping today as she wanted me to get one for Sam so she could fill it. I told her we don't need something else taking up space in our room (and we don't bank his money as he doesn't really know any better!), so I said it's just for her. She insists on filling it "for Sam"... oh well I'll put it towards his first birthday party or something. I want to organise a nice restaurant meal and pay for it - just close family. The MIL got to cook for his christening party so I want to organise his first birthday party with no assistance. I know I'm thinking WAY in advance!
Better go as Sam's just done that "I'm pooing" grunt, watery eyes, red face, etc! :rolleyes:

Kotakai - It sounds like Chais is doing beautifully!
As for the meet, I am more than happy to come to your place if you will have us! Much easier with the babies if they can muck around on the floor with some toys etc. We'll bring snacks. Like MOS, I can't really return the favour either where we are for a little while. Just let me know when and I'll be there :)
Tiggles - I hope you are feeling better now :hugs: Sounds awful, you poor darling!
Kyles - My bestie dogged me this week as well and I was pretty bummed, so I know how you feel! I think the problem was that I was looking forward to it so much... you know.. "Thursday will be good! Today sucks, but Thursday will be good!" Oh well :(
Daisy Boo - that doesn't sound bad at all. You sound normal!
Well news from us.. Mum is back from visiting with my Nana. She is still with us, but doctors say maybe only for a few more weeks :( The cancer is really widespread and her bowel and bladder have just kind of given up so she's got all these bags and tubes and things :(
On a lighter note, 5 weeks til I get married! Jeez. I should really order the flowers and stuff. We have SO much to do, and it's a tiny wedding. I don't know how people organise big ones! hehe
Just going through the samples ceremonies for the wedding and baby ceremony that the celebrant has sent us. Very exciting.

Hi Everyone!
I know...I know...Long time no posts! How are you all! I have tried so many times to catch up with you girls. I start to read everything in order to reply with some personals, but by the time I finish reading - i never have time to respond!
So sorry - no personals or I will never get around to it! Except to say thanks k8y for the fb post - it was nice of you to think of me!:D
It is wonderful to see that all the bubs are doing well. Its just so hard to believe that we all have 6 mth+ bubs now! Austin is the youngest and he is nearly 7 mths...where did the time fly? I remember when we first started chatting, talking about baby names, guessing the sex of the bubs...feels like a lifetime ago!
Austin is going great. He is comando crawling now and rocking a lot on his hands and knees. He says Mum, Dad and Bub. But mostly he just smiles! He loves to smile at anyone who will look at him! Although at the moment he is getting three teeth at once - so not much fun there for him!
I went to Ikea today and bought some of those puppets - Austin is giggling everytime DH makes the pig one dance...very cute!
We keep ourselves pretty busy with Mothers Groups, Book and Rhymes (at the library) play group etc. I find I go nutty if i dont get out of the house. I make sure I go out every day - even if its just a walk - otherwise I go stir crazy!
I had another operation on my skin cancer (third one) a couple of weeks ago - hopefully thats the last of it. I hate not being able to lift Austin for two weeks after each one. So girls ....if you havent got your skin checked yet...promise me you will book an appointment tomorrow!
Anyway, I will try now and go back and read some pages! :ecomcity::ecomcity:
Miss you girls! Promise I will post more! xxx
Honeymoonbub, funny you mention that... I've had this bit on my back that felt like it was burning/stinging all the time. It's right in the middle of my back, so not possible to be burnt... so I got DH to have a look and he said it was a mole but it looks like the top has a hole in it. I was checked over by my GP when I fell PG... but not since. I thought of you, HMB. :hugs: Where do you get checked out? Should I just see my normal GP or is there a clinic I should call?
I WILL make that call tomorrow! (Or maybe on Monday if not open tomorrow!). Thank you HMB. :thumbsup:
PS. Sam's been in his cot since 8pm... It's now 9:44pm and true to form, he's needed settling twice. :rolleyes: We have been in the lounge room all night, so no noise in bedroom... Hmmm... Mummy knows best! ;)

daisyboo- I think I know what you mean about going back to work (haven't gone back yet to totally know!) one reason my course will be good, only 1 day a week to get into a routine and decide whether to go back.
well meeting a friend and her 1year old for lunch today at the club which will be necessary in this heat.
have a good weekend and stay cool!
Morning all!
Just a quick whinge from me. We had a shocker of a night with Liam last night. He was completely unsettled from when I put him down at 8.30 until midnight, then up for a feed at 1.30 and again at 5.30 before getting up at 6.30:sleeping: DH and I are both zombies today, PLUS its going to be around 44 degrees! Bring it on!...........NOT

c38 I have to say I have had no qualms about Sums being in CC. I can't wait to see her when I pick her up but TBH I don't miss her dreadfully. It's really nice to have the break to do your own thing. I think it has a lot to do with the ladies that look after her though. They're such wonderful, kind, friendly people. I know I can trust them.
MOS I would be keeping Sam in your room. Moving him out is just asking for trouble :rolleyes: What is about working? is it the fact that you don't like being away from Sam or that the MIL is the one looking after him?
Honeymoonbub hello :wave: hope thats your last skin issue. I had one out about 3 months ago. Turned out to be non cancerous, but he said even if it isn't, it had the potential to become serious anyway, so best get it out.
MOS I went to a skin cancer clinic at a private hospital in Sunnybank, so perhaps check what they have down that way. Maybe your GP can refer you?
BB lucky girl! I love the hemp hand cream too. Enjoy!
Well I went out last night partying. DP and Sums dropped me at my friends place at 4pm (it was her 30th bday dinner) and I did her hair (because I'm the hair whisperer she reckons) and we had champagne and got ready, picked up another 3 girls and headed off to meet everyone else at the restaurant, after we went clubbing. It was lovely to spend time with them but the clubbing was awful. I hated it. Soooo not my scene. I kept saying, this is ridiculous, I'm 31 and a mother, I don't belong here lol...
Home by midnight, the others were just hitting their strides when I left lol
Sums was up crying at 4am, soothed her back to sleep while my head was splitting open :dizzy:
Then she was up at 7am, but DP fed her etc. Shes back down to sleep now so am trying to catch up on the hubs as there is bugger all else I want to do today.
Oh she has a bit of a runny nose yesterday and today. She's not been sick before. So we didn't take her to swimming this morning.
Have a nice day everyone :goodvibes:
HMB - hope that is the last of the skin cancer. I get biopsy results back Monday from a spot cut out of my tummy. It looked exactly the same as a pre-cancerous spot I had cut out of my foot a year and a half ago, so I'm dreading Mon. Worried it will be cancer. Not sure what they will do if it is, refer me to a specialist I'd imagine.
K8Y - Glad you got to go out partying! I know what you mean about the "This is ridiculous I'm 30 and a mother and don't belong here" HAHA. I don't think its that we don't "belong" there I think its just that we love being home.
GTG!
I know...I know...Long time no posts! How are you all! I have tried so many times to catch up with you girls. I start to read everything in order to reply with some personals, but by the time I finish reading - i never have time to respond!

Thats totally whats with me - Always read up but dont always get a chance to post

My mum is 41 and she goes out clubbing. Her kids are older, my youngest bro is 13. But she is more like my sister, doesnt look out of place, I dont think its age that defines it, just where your at in life.
Ive been to a club 2 times since she has been born.. its definately not something I wanna do often, and last time I went I said im over it and dont wanna do it anymore, but I wanted to and want to feel my age :P
But I agree with the out of place thing I think thats just having a baby thing, Id feel out of place in a movie theatre, or shopping centre. Its just being away from bub thats strange, for me anyways :)
I bought a Tom Tom yesterday.. lol Im playin wtih it.. A little premature since I dont have a car, but oh well lol

Good on you K8y,I too feel a bit out of place in the clubs not that I go often :o but I do enjoy a really good pub,love live music & a good old boogie:smiliedance:
BB I like a good pub with beer and good friends. :thumbsup:
MBQ, have a wonderful day tday - can't wait to see the pics on FB! :)
MOS I would be keeping Sam in your room. Moving him out is just asking for trouble :rolleyes: What is about working? is it the fact that you don't like being away from Sam or that the MIL is the one looking after him?
Good question. And I've thought about it and I think it's more leaving him with HER than anything. I wouldn't put him in CC when she's wating to look after him as that would be stupid... but I just don't want her getting that power again. She starts telling me things I'm doing wrong, like I'm not leaving him enough food and goes on and on about the things he does when he's with her for the day (and I feel like I'm missing out). She makes out like he's saying "tayta" (like nann in Arabic) when he only says "dadda" and not "mumma" yet. When I specifically ask her to do something a particular way, she waves her hand around saying "I know, I know" and doesn't listen to me and she doesn't end up doing it either. That frustrates me. The list goes on... basically I don't want HER getting all of the things I'm missing out on. Thinking of things like that has made me realise I definitely don't want to go back to work. :(
I gave Sam some toast today - the Helga's Pumpkin & 5 Grain. He did well with it. He suckes on it until it was mushy and then ate it. He really loved it. And C38, I forgot you'd asked how Sam went with the cucumber. He actually LOVES that too! He just sucks and gets tiny pieces off it so doesn't actually EAT too much of it. He likes sucking on it though and it's from the garden so although I wash it well, there are no chemicals ever used on it, etc.
Gotta go - Sam trying to type! :rolleyes:
BB Im like you..like a good live band preferable in a pub that's got a good crowd, but no too crowded..LOL Espescially now that theres no smoking. I also like a nice wine bar or beer garden wih live music...not fussed what...rock, jazz, world, reggae.. something with a dancable beat. I love live drumming..like african or turkish.. Not so fussed about electronica or rap type stuff.
MOS I can understand.. The thing I hate about CC is all the stuff I might miss. What if he takes his first steps one day in CC and I miss it... I remeber how upset I was the first time he rolled back to front ..and I was only in the other room. Silly I know.. I think I will feel better once he can talk and tell me about his day.. I ahte to think something might behappening o himand he can't tell me... uGHhhhh am NOT going to think too much about it...
Clever Sam witht the toast. No more pureeing for him, if he can chew toast he can handle mash. I asked about teh cucumbers as I give chunks to Gabriel. He has one or two sucks..screws his nose up and throws it overboard.Same with Zucini (cooked) and steamed carrot. Loves chunks of steamed potatoe though.
Talking about that... Can you believe I just did the perverbial... and burnt some water. I put some carrots on to steam, and then threw some meat and stuff into the slow cooker to make a casserole..and forgot about the carrots.. All the bottom of the pot is black... and the house stinks now:cool:
I was supposed to begoing to the market ethis am, but my friends pulled out as its drizzling. It is too...but its about 24 and humid .. so I dont see the isue personally. I'm also meant to be going out for dinner...but ,my other friends phone is off.. Am beginning to wonder if I smell.:laughing::laughing:
Take it back..must have been dialing the wron number...
Going out for yummy Vietnamese or something then to the Casino for a drink with one of the belly dance girls for her Hens Night. They are going on a Mystery Bus Tour, but I'm a sokkie lalala..mummy..dont want to be ona bus incase mum rings, my boy needs me and I need to come home. ...Plus dont wanna waste EBM...I dont really know her that well...so If Im gonna go out drinking etc...and use lots of teh precious store then Id rather go with closer friends...:yes:
C38, that's another issue with me leaving Sam. I don't want it to interfere with the breast feeding. I just can't express enough to last him one day without waking up at 4am every day for a week to do it! Plus now he actually FEEDS at 4am, where he wasn't before... so I doubt I'd be able to leave enough EBM for him... which brings us back to the formula debate with the MIL which I am NOT going through again. :hair: I can't believe she would push me so much to give formula. That one REALLY pi$$ed me off! :banghead:
Even just now I've got Sam playing on the lounge room floor as it's just WAY too hot to be in our room today. And I'm trying to show Sam how to crawl by putting him up on his knees and hands and she keeps on repeating "there's too many toys around him", I ignor her, she repeats, I ignor... and so on... :rolleyes:
We were supposed to be going out tonight with some friends but they left a message on DH's phone saying both of their kids are sick so they can't make it. (PS. They're ALWAYS sick!) They're our closest friends and I was really looking forward to dinner on Norton St with them so I'm a little bitter right now! ;) I also found out DH will most probably work back REALLY late tonight. He started at 6am and he may work back as late as 8pm... poor baby. (me I mean!) :crying:
So we probably won't be able to go anywhere anyway... want to go somewhere tomorrow too but we're going to be limited to shopping centres because of the air con. Unless anyone else has any good ideas???
I've been looking at OiOi and Vanchi nappy bags on the internet. I'm obsessed! I want one!!! The lining is ripping in my nappy bag which was a gift, so not the one I would have chosen anyway and it is a cheapie... so I now want my nice exxy leather look bag which doesn't look so much like a nappy bag!
Sam's sitting on the floor with the entire contents of his toy basket emptied around him and he's playing with a water bottle! It's half full as I was drinking it but he seemed to like it so I gave it to him.
Well I've rambled enough for now.
Oh one more thing! Thanks to C38 for commenting on BB's FB wall re her friend Janelle's photos... I'm nosey so went and had a look - WAY FUNNY!!! One you look at the photo, and get a really good look you feel really wrong since you don't know the person... GROSS!!!!!!! :laughing:
Oh I posted a couple of hours ago but it's not here. Must have lost it without realising.
Sorry ladies, really can't be bothered to retype it all :o
I've been addicted to playing Guess the Sketch on facebook and have been playing it alll day so now I better do some stuff.....
Sums cut her third tooth this morning :yelclap: have a top one coming through.
Explains why she woke up at 4am this morning and yesterday morning for a 10 minute whinge. She has been so good you would barely know :goodvibes:

Well it's now 8:30pm and I'm STILL waiting for DH to come home... So far it's been a 14.5 hour day... :(
Babywez, LOVE the tongue action in the underwater video on FB! You did well to get that shot too. I would have freaked out!
Valentine's Day in a week... DH and I have a $10 limit but I might spend $20-ish as can't find anything for less than $10. Any ideas?
Oh and Roxy pi$$ed on the lounge this arvo... She goes nuts barking at anyone that comes near the house which is good, but it was the nephews and DH's brother and she startled Sam and he started crying... so I went to grab her to put her outside and oh boy.... she peed out of fear as she knew she was in trouble... all over the lounge! Then she knew she was REALLY in trouble so she ran into our room (which is always off limits to her) and hid under the bed. :rolleyes:
Still no sign of DH... :hissy:
argh typin one handed. shesbeen whingy all day. iive realise now why. a tooth wanting to break through but not quite there.
that will be #8
she currently has 4 on top and 3 on bottom. has for weeks.

FUnny how different we all are.

She DROOLS constantly.. anyone elses do this?
Its like... always have to have a bib and she soaks them ... ALL the time (nearly)
I have visions of her drooling when she is 7 years old lol:dizzy:
MOS I thought I would freak out at Nick going under the water, but I couldn't believe how well he did! He didn't cough/splutter or anything, not even once, and he went under several times! I wasn't in the pool - was hanging over the edge with the camera in the water, so just got lucky with the video. We'll probably go in my nan's pool some time this week and I'll try to get some better pictures, longer video.
Nick also still has no teeth! Am dreading the day he gets them though, I hope they don't hurt him too much.
Dad and his Mrs are coming for morning tea this am and then looking after Nick for a few hours while Mike and I go out. We still have no idea what we're going to do. Maybe a bit of shopping then the casino or something.

Because he was a caesar baby they tend to have alot more fluid etc as they are not pushed through the birth canal,Casey didn't breath either for a few mins his apgar scores were 4 then 7....rather Jacob(C-section aswell) 7 then 9.....Poor Casey had a bit more fluid in his lungs he was fine though just needed to be monitored for 2/3 hours in the baby unit.....DH said it was sad as their was so many tiny weeny babies & Casey was massive 9lb the midwives all said oh can we touch him.....:cloud9: as with premmie bubs you cant....:(

Hi girls,
Hope you feel better soon (again) Tiggles - it must be awful for you.
Have booked DD in to start swimming lessons on Thursday - DP said he'd take her so I'd originally booked her in at 4 months, then we cancelled it as he changed the days he worked to look after her, and was supposed to re-book them. I've given up waiting so am going to take her myself - I think it's even more important she goes now that we have our own pool. Not sure how I'll manage changing her etc - any tips girls?
DD doesn't have any teeth either but she doesn't half munch down on things.
Been watching the TV coverage of the fires and floods - so so sad. Heat wave predicted again for Perth next week - not looking forward to it so gotta get out for some walks today as we'll be stuck in the air con all week.
Hope you had a nice time C38 - we don't go anywhere. We weren't exactly social bunnies before DD but now that she's here we never go anywhere. No family to watch her and no friends that I'd leave her with yet - so I don't even have to make excuses when I don't want to leave her;)
Hi everyone
Tiggles - Hope you start to feel better really soon and that the gastro goes and STAYS gone for you! Theres nothing more exhausting than feeling sick, especially when you cant eat, and I could only imagine DOUBLE especially when you have small kids to look after.
Well, I must be the only club kid amongst us. Back in the day, I much preferred clubs to pubs, had no time for live music at all, maybe we have too many cr@ppy covers bands here which turned me off?:laughing: Give me "classic" dance "anthems" like Gonna Make You Sweat anyday.:smiliedance:Everyboday dance now:smiliedance:
Once more showing my age there!
Thank God we've had a cool change! Have been watching the reports of the bushfires all around Victoria, and the floods in Queensland - all scary stuff. Its been raining here which is such a relief!
Am just dribbling now, so will go. DH and Liam are out so Im going to do housework today - the pile of ironing is ridiculous! Have a great Sunday everyone and as always, take care:flowerz:
Just a quick hello :wave:
Had DP's mum over for visit. Now have to do fruit/veg shop and buy b'day present for friend. Sums a bit whingy today with her top tooth cut through. It looks as though her second top one is just about to cut now as well. Poor mite. Top ones have been a bit more painful for her :goodvibes:

Hey girls,
Just a quick one. Have missed the past few days as I've been trying to help Mum find a wedding dress... still hasn't found one and the wedding is this Sunday :eek: She's not after a traditional dress as this is her second wedding, and quite low-key, but we haven't been able to find the 'right' one. :hair:
Khirra's slowly on the mend. No more temps the past day or two and the rash is just about completely faded. She's up and walking along everything again and taking bottles again - thankfully. Not that interested in her solids still, so will have to start encouraging her to eat them again. Not that she eats much anyway :rolleyes: She's 7kg now, which is 10th percentile, and is 70cm long, which is 75th percentile, so she's definately a stringbean. And still a pinhead. lol.
K8y - :hugs: for Sums for those top teeth. They're coming through fast!
Tiggles - hope the gastro gets better hun. Nothing worse.:hugs:
Babywes - haven't seen the video yet, but will have a look! Khirra loooves going under water at swimming.... gets a huge smile on her face as you do the 'Khirra, ready, go' and comes up smiling and splashing. Very cute.
Sorry for lack of personals. Gotta go get some washing done and clean the bathroom and stuff....and spend some time with DP... his last day home with us today :(
ems good to hear Khirra is on the mend and OMG no dress!!!!! :eek:
What sort of dress is she looking for? I'm an awesome shopper - maybe I can help point you in the direction of a good store?
Well good news for everyone who has trouble keeping up in here.
My evil plan to get MOS addicted to the Guess the Sketch challenge in facebook has worked :devil6: and now we may regain some peace in here while she is occupied elsewhere :D

:laughing: That made me laugh. :hugs: MOS - you know we'd be lost without your chatter!!!
As for my Mum... well, she's a bit of a hippy in her clothing style (which, sadly, I also love... I'm the most untrendy person I know, lol. I don't think I've owned a brand-label anything :o)
So, long floaty stuff. She loves clothes from markets... particularly Eumundi markets, which I've still got to drag her back this week. Shops like Tree of Life is her sort of taste....
But we tried most of the day in Paddington yesterday because there was a few shops she like (one was Living Silk - www.livingsilk.com.au (http://www.livingsilk.com.au)) We've also gone to Sugar & Spice, Hills in Hollywood (they've just gone national with their stores - they used to rent one of my stepdad's shops :D) and gone all through Chermside hoping to get lucky. We're going to A Touch of Romance over in Stones Corner tomorrow.... namely to see this dress http://www.atouchofromance.com.au/html/formal.html
....if you scroll about halfway down the page, it's a 3/4length in aqua called blossom.
She doesn't want white... preferrably green (emerald) or a light blue or aqua. She's size 14 at the moment, which is currently the bain of our existance in finding this damn dress.... she's horrified everytime she tries something on, which she really doesn't need to be. She looks great. But thats another conversation all together, lol.
Dunno. Hopefully one comes and smacks us in the face tomorrow. lol

oohh? whats that.. can you link me or invite me??
Im hooked on scrabble on facebook. You should all join that so we can play against eachother, even a group of 4 :)
Im not too bad. Charlotte whingy.. either getting spoilt or high maintenence or its the teeth. . . maybe both lol..
She is starting to push up with her leg to stand to stand up against something, rather than pulling herself up.
She is eating so well. I cant believe how much food a little thing can eat hey. it ends up being like half a bowl or more
Tonight she tried more finger foods. for a starters she had brocoli finger food (a first) she hated the texture and pulled a face but still enjoyed chewing up up.
Then I have a mixed mash of potato carrot, peas, corn, then chicken in the baby white sauce on the side..
then I gave her carrot sticks to chew on while I cleaned the kitchen..
she would have had a tub of custard if there was any left too.
Guess they burn alot of energy getting up and down and up and down on stuff all day.
Im still searching for a car.. my budget is ideally 6.5k.. or up to 7.5.
Not sure what to go for. A camry is most reliable and will last forever.
Maybe an astra.. i dont now
well I better go now and shower her

You go with the weightloss BB!:yelclap: I think you should be up for Slimmer of the Year, I reckon! :yes: That 7kg will be gone in no time.
That dress looks lovely Ems. Good luck finding something. I know the feeling of being horrified trying on clothes, I hope she can find something she feels gorgeous in.
Well, we ended up going and seeing Bride Wars, and I LOVED IT! One of the better movies I've seen in recent times (not that I see a lot).
Then we went down to mum's this arvo and took Nick in her pool and got a couple more pics. Was a bit harder to put him under in mums' pool though because me, DH, mum, my sister and her DP were all in there and Nick was laughing and smiling at all of us. So every time he went to go under his mouth was open or he was laughing. He coughed and spluttered a couple of times. And his tongue is always out when he goes under! So funny.
We have been having the toughest time getting him to go to bed of a nighttime lately. :hair: He wakes up 3-4 times and has to be patted back to sleep, or sometimes picked up and rocked back to sleep. His day time sleeping habits have also gone down hill quickly. As soon as I mentioned on here the other day how he always has a 2 hour nap every day, he hasn't napped longer than 20 minutes since.
Not much to look forward to this week - stitches out tomorrow, hopefully no bad news from the biopsy. Wednesday I'm going for a pap. So really can't wait for this week to be over!
stg will invite you to the guess the sketch. :thumbsup: But don't blame me when you get nothing done! It's k8y's fault!
Ems, best of luck with the dress shopping. I like that Blossom dress. If you go to Eumundi markets and you're in the mood for a pop into Noosa, there's a little shop directly to the left of the movies on the main strip of the junction. It's like a homewares type shop with lots of nice white and pastel coloured art out the front. Anyway, my mum said if she were to ever re-marry, it would be on the beach, barefoot, and she'd get married in one of the dresses in there. They are gorgeous but I fear they are all a creamy colour. Very nice long flowy dresses... not really wedding dresses as such as they are different. But they're still elegant. Might try and see if I can find a website... You MUST check out a shop in Eumundi called "Schmuthers" (not sure re the spelling). She also has HEAPS of stuff, all different, and bits and pieces too. I'd imagine there'd be more chance of finding something in that shop than the markets.
stg, I have a Camry. DH's brother is a mechanic and said they go forever and the parts are never hard to find. I like it... initially HATED them but I am a convert!
Tomorrow I'm off to hopefully buy a new nappy bag. I really want a nice one and am OBSESSED. The lining on mine's cr@ppy - starting to rip at the seams so I lose my lip gloss in it ALL THE TIME. :rolleyes: Anyway today DH told me to spend a bit of money on a good one that will last me for years... so I hope he is aware I'm taking that piece of advice and running with it!!!:p
Meant to mention, we hav been watching the news re: the fires in VIC every chance we get. I hope the find the people who started them and they get locked away for good. I cannot believe how much damage has been done and how many lives have been taken. Fire scares the cr@p out of me, dying in a fire scares the cr@p out of me even more. Burning or drowning ... :no: What those people are going through is just horrible. Why can't all the rains from north QLD go down and hit VIC?
:iagree: Babywez... very sad... :no:
Didn't we have someone in Goulburn? Is there anyone who chats with us that has perhaps lost internet access that could have been affected? Where was Fra99le, maybe?
:gloomy: those fires and the floods are just awful, it is very sad and also makes you soo angrry that they were deliberately lit. I am teary every time I watch it.
had a good day today, had my nephews pool party and then caught up with my bestie at her new place in Sydney. saw Dh for about 15 minutes before he went to work, but he is home later tonight for 4 days.
ems good luck with the wedding dress hunting and good to hear Khirra is better.
:yelclap: for Casey crawling on his knees- Pip still mainly commando crawls as well.
as for teeth, Pip still only has her 2 bottom ones and the CHN thinks it will be ages until the top ones come through.
stg- Pip is eating a lot more know as well- though often doesn't eat much when out and about- anyones bub like that? not sure if it is the jars or just a different environment?? going to get a small ice block thing to keep the food I make cold for her in her bag.
sitting here eating choc chips that were going to go into acake :rolleyes: oh well.
take care all
evening girls!
Im very worried about the bushfires - on the news its saying that the town of Marysville has all burnt out - my great uncle lives there by himself and hes about 88. All my fmily have gone to a wedding in Wangaratta and I dont have any of their mobile numbers so I cant ring to see if anyone knows if he was evacuated.
Also have been worried about my Grandad in Bendigo. Yesterday when the temperature was about 46 there. Hes by himself at the moment as Grandma is in hospital - normally theres family there all the time, but again, their all in Wangaratta. Why oh why is my mother the only person in the universe who doesnt have a mobile phone!!!
I went out the front of our house to put some rubbish in the bin - all I could smell was smoke.
PS) imagine getting married in 46 degrees?
Where was Fra99le, maybe?
Fra99le's in Ballarat like me.
stg I think I'd already sent you a sketch invite. Have a look.
ems that dress looks great. My mum too is a floaty dress lady. She got married in a dress from tree of life.
oconky I'm a fan of eating the choc chips that go in cooking lol. Sometimes they never make it into biscuits or cakes :D
BB not much to go! Your amazing :goodvibes:
MOS I did notice you hadn't posted all day :laughing:
Kyles :hugs: for you and your family. Terrible news all these fires. So sad.
stg have you thought about checking the brisbane auctions for a car?
I'm sick. DP is doing dishes for me, bless him. A cold which I think I got from sums. Feel dreadful. About to have a lemsip, then bed. Just a quick Guess the Sketch game first :D
Big day tomorrow, friend turns 30, day off work for her. Taking her to high tea at High Societea, then shopping, then for a drink, then to see Changeling at 6pm. Angelina Jolie her fave actress but haven't told her what we're doing - surprising her.
I had a dream last night I did Angelina Jolie's hair (styled it) lol. Think because my friend had her 30th dinner on Friday night and I did her hair and it's long and dark too.
Oh well, night ladies :wave:

Yeah I know thats why they are so expensive to buy 2nd hand!! I wanna early 2000 model and the 1994's are still going for up to 5 grand lol..
BUt I know it will last me forever.. I dont feel uncomfortable or nervous in the least buying a camry, why with others Im humming and harring.
Id love a good nappy bag. I want one not too small, not too big.I have a small one I use and my big one is way too bulky..
a nice medium, with COMPARTMENTS. like the bag devided in 2 or something. Thats impossible to find.. same with handbags!
But also that doest cost like hundreds lol..

Its so sad, like hearing about poelpe trying to escape in cars but they arent fast enough...
Its so unreal, the floods up there and fire and heat down there, Im in the middle and the temperate is summer, but not too hot.. 29 -31 degree days, warm summer breezes, as I look out now dewy cool still morning, bright blue sky...
guess its our turn next time something like this happens..

Hope eveyrhitng is ok :( very worryinh
stg have you thought about checking the brisbane auctions for a car?
I
went too one and its seems privately is cheaper.. everyone has the auction idea.
Will go to another 1 or 2 this week and see if they are all the case
stg, we have a 2002 Camry in a light gold colour. When we bought it, it had 99,000km's and we paid $7,200 cash. We had connections as DH's brother works for the dealership. We played hard ball - offered them $6k cash, they said no, we went to $6,500 then left. Right at the end of the day, DH called and offered them $7k and they came back with $7,200 so he went got a money order and picked it up that day. It has a scratch down one side but it's right on the panel line so unless you look for it, it's hard to tell. We bought it as is, as it's only cosmetic damage and we're not fussed. I love it now!
Kyles I was glued to the TV last night. It looks awful. There are scenes where people are saying they were trying to help their neighbours and didn't get there in time, etc. Or even helping neighbours they lost their own house. How awful. I hope your family is OK. :hugs:
k8y, get better soon. :hugs: And have a fun day today.
Kyles I hope that everyone is ok and accounted for. Please keep us updated. I'll be thinking about you and your family.
Can't belive the toll is up to 106 this morning.
K8Y sounds like you've planned a lovely day for your friend. I hope you guys have a great time! And hope you're feeling better today.
I just gave Nick his breaky feed and he pulled off the boob, flung his head hte other way, eyes shut, and was asleep. He's a funny little character. Gets me out of walking this morning! But I think I'll walk this arvo and get mum to watch Nick, it will be easier on my back without pushing the stroller.

Morning...
Thanks for the nice comments girls I think its going to be hard to get the last 5kgs off it always is....:cool:.........but I will keep plugging away:D
I brought a pair of nice jean shorts they were $60 down to $20 so I couldn't resist...they are size 10 & a wee bit tight around the tummy....but nice on my butt & thighs....I brought a size 10 from JJ's they fit good but the sizing different everywhere that drives me bonkers.....so my aim is to fit them a bit better so I can wear them in Perth....oh I hope so.....:fingerscrossed:

That dress looks lovely Ems. Good luck finding something. I know the feeling of being horrified trying on clothes, I hope she can find something she feels gorgeous in.
Well, we ended up going and seeing Bride Wars, and I LOVED IT! One of the better movies I've seen in recent times (not that I see a lot).
Then we went down to mum's this arvo and took Nick in her pool and got a couple more pics. Was a bit harder to put him under in mums' pool though because me, DH, mum, my sister and her DP were all in there and Nick was laughing and smiling at all of us. So every time he went to go under his mouth was open or he was laughing. He coughed and spluttered a couple of times. And his tongue is always out when he goes under! So funny.

:sleeping:awww its horrible having nights like that I remember with DS1 many nights were spent rocking him to sleep in the pram or in my arms..Casey not so bad...he settles himself now(dont want to jinx myself here)........Hope biopsy results give you the all clear....:hugs:

I have seen some really nice stylish nappy bags around....I use the one that was brought for me when I had DS1 its a black Oroton one...cost a few $$$$ but I did my friends hair for her wedding so instead of paying me I said just buy me something...
Enjoy shopping:goodvibes:

Hi all
Thanks for all your well wishes, Im now better but DH and DD1 have this bug, bad tummy (no running to the bathroom), and high temps. Im keepng DD1 home today as she still isnt 100%, and not well enough to go to school.
The fire situation is terrible, was it Kyles that has family in the area? Hope they are all safe and OK.Sorry to be vague, just cant remember.
Well I was a victim of "sun rage" yesterday. I had parked my car in the carpark at Woolies, there was no shaded parking left, so I had to park out in the sun, no big deal normally.
Well I was walking back to the car, just started to forage for my keys, and Miss C was in the trolley in the capsule thingy, and yes she was in the sun, but this couldnt be helped. Anyway this woman getting into a car directly opposite just starts going off at me at the top of her lungs
"Your F***ing baby is in the F***ing sun, you F***wit..
Then gets in her car
"Ive got your F***ing rego number"
Drives off
"Your a F***wit, you shouldnt have a F***ing baby"
I kid you not I was gobsmacked and so scared, just ignored her, and tryed to get Miss C into the car asap. I didnt know her from Adam.
I have never ever had anything like this happen to me, very frightening.
Now back to catching up on al the posts.
Thanks ladies.
