View Full Version : June Mums February Chat #2
Hi everyone!
Feeling a bit better today, thank you all!
Stg - Good results from ebay! Ive never sold anything, although Im registered. It all seems like hard work and my computer doesnt appreciate us uploading photos:hair:
Remember me?/
Any other vic families near the fires?
Hi C&LMummy! I was thinking the other day we hadnt heard from you in a while! Yep, I was really worried with the fires as my great uncle whos 88 lives by himself in Marysville, and we couldnt get a message to hear if he was ok. Hes fine, lost his car and shed but his house is still standing. Hes moved to Alex for the time being. Also my cousins were evacuated from Eaglehawk - my 15 year old cousin babysitting her 2 brothers.They all ok too.
MOS - thats really interesting about the "evil eye". I dont think you're being weird, although it would give me the geebies a bit too.... sounds no more or less superstitious than walking around ladders rather than under them as an example
BB - I would be interested in a Body Shop catalogue, but not just now as moneys a bit tight.
Actually, before Khirra showed up, Nicklas was trying to give Summer kisses. They were putting their heads together, it was cute.
Awww! How cute is that!:goodvibes:
... I counted getting up to Khirra 14 times last night girls.
:hugs:You poor thing! And poor Khirra! I thought being woken up 3 times last night was bad! You win:dizzy:
Kotakai - sorry to hear that your blood results came back inconclusive! That must be soooo frustrating! Could they run the tests again at some stage? I cant believe the guy wouldnt double check the babies sex for you! How hard is it! I can understand your disappointment. And really bad not to tell you that bubs is measuring ok etc. Sounds useless
Not much news here. I took a deep breath and handed in Liams registration forms to childcare today. I think he'll be fine - a bit of a handful for the staff though!
Hope that all bubs are more settled tonight, and its good night sleeps all round! take care:flowerz:

YAY! How are you feeling???
And BB, can I check out a website at all? Might look into it a little later. I always like to nosey as those kind of things... although it's often just "noseying" as don't often buy so wouldn't want to ask for a catalogue for a "nosey"!
Haha Yes I think there is a website for bodyshop @ home...will check it out for ya:goodvibes:
Ahhhh the ant sting still burrrrrrrnnnnss :crying:
kotakai what an insensitive pr!ck :hair: Maybe try private. They're usually more caring and make the whole process lovely.
Kyles try and enjoy the time away while Liam will be at CC. As a wise one said to me at lunch today (:D) it makes you appreciate them all the more!
Speaking of which, Sums is in CC tomorrow - thank god as I need a break! lol
Well ladies, the sting (ant) and the sting (ticket) made for quite a day :rolleyes: - $30 so I wasn't too hurt by that and after having such a lovely day I couldn't find the energy to give a toss about it really so that was good! lol
babywez I was surprised when you said your all day parking was $12 as I knew the place where ems parked (where I would have) was very $$$ so assumed it would be like that everywhere. Next time we'll park there!
The p!sser was that the ticket was issued at 2.47pm, right at the time I said we should get going and looked at the suncorp metway building clock (insert shake fist emoticon here).
ems when I got home I was thinking there was something missing from my salad - the fetta!!!!!!
I have the camera in the car still so will have to venture out and get it and upload the pics.
Have had such a busy arvo. Sums didn't sleep in the car but wasn't whingy as she had her pram powernap, but due a bottle so gave her that. Got her to sleep by 4.30pm, just in time for friend who was stopping by (which I had forgotten about), so she didn't leave until 7pm, meanwhile DP was at some personal training session with a friend (which he describes as similar to the commando on the biggest loser) but I digress... so had to feed Sums, bath her, then DP got home so I had shower, then she was due her evening bottle (which she takes forever to drink) then finally got her off to sleep and have just now eaten dinner (9pm). Gosh was so hungry my eyes were blurring :dizzy: too tired to cook so I just had a WW meal and DP has buggered off next door for a drink (woot woot - quiet time for me right now!). Was hoping for an early night, but the Oscars don't even start till 9.30pm and I wanted to watch them :geek: (looooooooove Hugh Jackman - who doesn't?)
Thanks ladies for a lovely day.
Khirra is just so cute and adorable and tiny and cheeky and Nicklas has the most gorgeous blue eyes and smile and was such a happy bubby!
Can't wait to take them swimming at Southbank for our next meet.

Oh gosh K8y, what an afternoon! Make sure you do sweet nothing today while Sums is at CC - sounds like you deserve it! And thanks for taking all those gorgeous photos yesterday! I will have to remember to bring mine next time ... will have to tie a string to my finger to remember...with a postit note attached to that :rolleyes:
Babywez - glad Nick gave you a little bit of a sleep in...we weren't far behind you getting up this morning. Although she did sleep better last night. And $12 parking! Will definately be heading there next time
MOS - I meant to saying about the blessing, like you, I wouldn't be too bothered. All religions/beliefs have their quirks. I guess it's nice they want to protect him ;) Khirra's been blessed by my great uncle who's a priest at my nana's request.... same thing really... if I hadn't been raised with it I'd probably think it a bit cooky. And with you and your DH to put the logical side in perspective when he's older he won't get spooked or anything by it.
Kotakai - How dodgey! And disappointing for you :no: I'd probably mention it to someone... can you imagine if that was your first and you weren't given any of those details? You shouldn't have to fork out for a private one because the guy was incompetent!
Alright, might try get my little monkey back to bed...

Thanks to Khirra for the lovely rattle. Sums loves it :yes:
aww looks like fun!
And kotakai, get a 3d ultrasound. There are places that do it strictly non medically just for fun and pretty much 100% gives you the sex, plus you get to see awesome pics of the baby.
When I got it done, the gender determination was onlt $50
I went back a month or so later for some pics and a dvd, that was $150 or so.
Definately worth it if your as impatient as me and NEED to know :)
:hugs:kotakai what a disappointment
:hugs:ems for your rough night, and sadly dylan can beat your 14 times on many many occassions so i know how awful it is. but as for the red bull:barf: no thanks
mos dylan is well and truly doomed then all the times someone has said how lovely he is and i failed to do the cross thingy bad bad mummy
Hi All
Your Brizzy meet yesterday looked like such fun... ho hum..:( BB and I will get our act together one of these days.. LOL we only live about 10km from each other..but the river in Hobart is REALLY wide...:laughing::laughing:
Ems and Supermom, I'll remember 14x+ each time I want to complain about G still waking 2-3x most nights...:o
Kotakai that sux re that stonographer.... and your inconclusive blood results.. They will be doing frequent scans anyhow wont they??..so hopefully they can see the sex next time. AND you get someone without their gumpy pants on...
K8Y, hope your ant sting is ok. we have ants here called "jackjumpers" and I'm allergic to them... so I get a bit nervy around biting ants...
Ive had a busy weekend. We had the dinner Friday night was yummo.. I had mushrooms wih tequilla & avocardo sauce... Then Sat was the Dance workshop...unfortunately the teacher who was here from Oregan, USA's father died suddenly on Sat night... Poor lady to be so far from home... So obviously Sunday was cancelled, she got a flt home easly morning thankgoodness. There were a heap of women here from WA and Vic who got an extra day site seeing. I ended up going to brunch with my mates that were staying with me (so cancelled out all the calories I lost Sat no doubt).. G loed granmas on Sat, but loved going to brunch and getting toast and a tiny bit of scrambeled egg even more.:D
Ok better get my a$$ into gear.. Have had a bit of a lazy morning...need to shower before the boy wakes.. and also decide whether or not I want to spend money on Pete Murray/Casey Chambers concert tickets... ,then we have PlayGroup/Mums Group this Arvo ..
Hmm was gong to make pumpkin/spinsche lasagne for tea somewhere in there... hmm hopefully he has a good sleep after PlayGroup.
:dizzy:..just because I have ONE emoticon left and dont think Ive used this
mos dylan is well and truly doomed then all the times someone has said how lovely he is and i failed to do the cross thingy bad bad mummy
Forgot to mention that it's only bad if it's done by another Lebanese person or someone who knows what they're doing. I asked the same question when I was told about it all - I'd told MANY Lebanese mothers their baby was cute... but they apparently understand "my kind" just mean the bl00dy baby's cute! :D
Went and ordered one more pic today from the photo place. It's one where Sam was pulling a funny face. I took a pic of it on my mobile so might try and upload it if I can figure it out later.
Off to make Leek and Pumpkin with veggie stock - from Annabel's book. I'm making BULK over the next few days so won't have to do it again for a while.

I have a Q for you all...how PG were you when you had your baby showers? I think I was 36 weeks. Old school friends of mine are throwing a surprise shower for another school friend of ours who is visiting from Sydney. She'll be about 16 weeks PG. Do you think that's too early? The shower is March 7 and she finds out the sex Mar 19! She's coming back up May/June...wouldn't that be a better time? Or does it not matter do you think? No idea what I'm going to get her...I want to get her something she'll use, but something that isn't too bulky to pack on the plane back to SYD.

:( Oh no K8y, what happened?? :hugs:
And yeah... no fetta in the salad... rorting buggers! That was the whole appeal!
Babywez, I had mine about then, some redicuously early time, as I was moving to Perth. I told everyone not to worry, but my sister insisted, which was very sweet of her. Maybe just give your mate a giftcard, that way she can get what she needs/wants without having to lug heaps of stuff back on the plane!
Supermum, I forgot about Dyl and his sleeping efforts :hugs: Alrighty, no Red Bull for you, you deserve a whole Expresso machine!! And he was 9months yesterday, wasn't he?! Can't believe how big our babies are getting!
C38 - I would totally go to the Pete Murray Casey Chambers concert! But that's my sort of music. That dinner sounds yuuuuuuuuummm.
And I've seen a documentary on those ants... made me think I'd never move to Tassie at the time, just to avoid them :laughing: They sound awful!!
:no: Sorry K8Y :hugs: Some ppl eh?

I waws like 39 weeks but it was a surprise one.
I dont think it matters when.. but I mean, Its fun to play games when they have a huge belly. Its just all alot more exciting.
I reckon 30-32 weeks is a good time (your not toooo tired compared to later on in preg)
charlotte just cut her 8th tooth.. now has 4 on top an 4 on bottom:eek::eek::eek:
Hi all
My net has been down since Friday, trying to catch up.
How was the meet today? My DH let Mis C fall off the bed this morning, so off to the Dr & all ok, and she isnt happy. Think she is teething so doesnt help.
I off Miss C is grumpy.

I didn't have one but an idea is maybe buy her something off the internet and have it posted directly to her. Some sites gift wrap too. And you could give her a card on the day with a little poem saying what's on it's way to her home. I'm sure we can all help with the poem! :D

WTF? Little pihrana! ;) How are the nipples?! ;)
Watching biggest loser... LOVE IT!
Made so many purees I've run out of ice cube trays... and I bought more today! :eek: So I've got a big bowl in the fridge and I"ll have to put it in the freezer first thing in the morning. That'll be OK, right?
Today I made:
Cinderella Pumpkin (Annabel Karmel) - Leek and Pumpkin in Veggie stock.
Sweet Potato, Carrot & Apple (Inspired by Rafferty's Garden).
I've made HEAPS of these though so will last for ages. :)
Hi all,
qlder's your meet sounds and looks great....the bubs get up to soo much mischief now don't they!
kotakai- sorry to hear about your scan, :( the guy I had a 20 weeks was really rude as well, even my obs who it pretty quiet guy mentioned that this guy had no personality:laughing:, hope you get some more definite answers/scans later. Sorry if this sounds ignorant but can they do the test again??
k8y- :hugs: for whatever your friend did!
tiggles good to hear from you, hope Miss C is OK...so scary when they fall.
stg- wow 8 teeth....gosh she must be munching through everything.
sorry can't remember much else.
Had mum's group at my house today, was really good, bubs crawling over everyone! one bub figured out how to crawl up and down a step whilst here!! Pip is now saying bubub.....so hopefully for DHs sake will be saying dada soon!
finally got some video of Pip clapping so will have to put it on FB soon.
c38 Pete Murray and Casey sound great! I saw Casey when she was like 9 months pregnant with her first bub...she did really well just sat down a lot!
babywez I did not have a baby shower... mum and BF were going to organise one but it never happened!!
oh well Pip is down early...might watch sex in the city tonight....

Okonky that sounds like chaos at your house, but lots of fun. Clever Pip for clapping..
tiggles glad to hear that Miss C is okay :hugs:
stg wow 8 teeth! bet she is a good chomper now! It's so amazing to watch how they learn to bite foods. Sums was eating a peach yesterday and was biting little bits off with her teeth. So cute!
Well last night was nothing short of a horror movie.
It all started yesterday about lunchtime. I was in our ensuite (we always use this rather then the main bathroom). I went for a jog on the treadmill so was having a shower. I looked up and noticed about 10 random baby huntsman spiders on the ceiling and a couple on the shower tiles (which I mushed). I couldn't reach the ceiling ones so when DP got home I mentioned it to him.
Anyway was laying in bed last night. It was 9pm and I was TRYING to get an early night for once but was just watching Packed to the Rafters (love this show). So at about 9.30pm DP came to bed and started watching some other show and I got up to toddle into the bathroom to go to loo and brush my teeth. I opened the door and (cue horror movie music) there were LITERALLY hundreds of little baby huntsman spiders in the bathroom. There were all in the shower and the walls and all over the ceiling.
I just stood there and went 'oh......my.......GODDDDDDD!!!' like I'd seen a shark.
DP thought I was being overly dramatic.
Couldn't find the bug spray. Never used since before being PG so can't even remember if we had any.
I toddled next door to borrow some but they must have been in bed (it was 10pm by now).
So DP told me to get the dustpan brush and started trying to brush them all into the shower and was washing them all down the drain. I was in charge of mushing any that dropped to the ground etc. Oh god it was freaky. It doesn't help having long hair as little tendrils of hair would brush my shoulder or back I kept jumping up and squealing and brushing at my chest and back. I didn't have any on me but could 'feel' them on me lol....
Took forever to get to sleep after that :rolleyes:
There is probably about 20 in there now (ones that managed to find a hidey hole from last nights slaughter) so DP has to get those.
Turns out there was a nest behind some empty bottles in the shower caddy and while I WAS SHOWERING IN THERE AT LUNCHTIME THEY WERE ALL IN THERE, HATCHING :crying::crying:
Us going to visit mum today and we're taking her to lunch.
She's had a rough trot. Her and her DH are on the pension but DH does work 3.5 days/week. Mum is looking for a part time job though because they just can't afford the high costs of rent anymore and money is always tight. Something blew on their fridge over night and so mum said all their vegies/fruits etc spoiled and they couldn't afford to buy more for another week :gloomy:
Anyway missy is back in bed so best go sterilise bottles, pack bags for today etc. She had such a terrible day yesterday. Woke up at 6.30am (usually put her back to bed after bottle but didn't) so told CC she'd be pretty tired. She napped at 10.30am for 1/2 hour, then at 3.30pm for 1/2 hour, so was overtired all night :hair: drove us mental. At least she slept through the night, then I put her back to bed after her bottle this morning and she seems to be sleeping okay.
Alright too much blah will have to update you on bestie saga later!
OMG k8y you are so brave:yelclap: i wouldve ran away crying:laughing:
stg 8 teeth?!!! far out. dylan only has 2 lol
mos if its only lebanese people then why do lebanese people say it to each ohers babies? i mean if they know its casting the evil eye on bubs why would they say it??
c38 i always mean to ask are u american? cause u always write my username as supermom? im done with pureeing for dylan too now he just eats what we eat. someties if we have something for dinner like spicy ill feed him something else first then when he sees us all going to the table without him he crawls over as fast as he can its so funny u can see him thinking wait for me guys, u forgot me. then he crawls around under the table till we put him up in his chair and find him a 2nd dinner:rolleyes:
now when he touches the dvd player or foxtel box or what ever i say to him UH-UH dont touch and he turns around and gives a big smile and starts going 'what' 'what' 'what' lke he is trying to distract me and not the other way around
someone was asking about teaching them dont touch? from my memory at this age they kinda learn and listen a bit but then it all goes out the window and they just want to do it too much that they stop doing as told:rolleyes: little rats. but with heaters most kids get it prety quick once they are on cause they can feel the heat
ive been reading lots of books lately about parenting teenagers cause just quietly im crapping myself a bit. my little princess has turned into a bit of an ogre of late. so one thing im working on is that a lot of books suggest trying to find ways to give them responsibilty as they want to show us that they are grown up. so i declared my dd can cook dinner for the family one night a week as she loves cooking so she was thrilled. so last night she made us home made pizzas they were really yummy, she was so funny insisting on us all calling her chef as in yes chef no chef:laughing:. and she insisted on personally handing our plates to us not just putting them on the table and calling dinners ready like i do. im going to make an omlette for lunch today out of the left over bits and pieces from the pizzas yummo:chef:
K8Y:eek::eek: Im not too bad around spiders...but THAT many would freak me...ew
SupermUm....LOL I have never noticed, it's probably just my poor typing skills, and I type like I talk..too fast..and rarely can be bothered reading it over.
As for the saying "NO" "uh uh" etc. I think you have to weigh up the danger knowing that they ARE going to disobey at some stage, and that saying "NO" might just give you a few seconds grace before they do whatever you dont want them too. So, eg a heater that is fairly warm to touch but unlikely to burn unless they have their hand on their for a while you could get away with this, but for a HOT heater..eg a glass fronted fireplace or a radiater, where they will burn in seconds, then you really need a screen as bub's have much slower reflexes then us and also tend to grab rather then pull away.. I've seen some nasty hand burns.. Same as things like high steps onto concrete, and front doors with no fencing before the driveway/ road... Such things need safetly gates or locks as you dont want to risk them experimenting. A powercord you can get away with just saying no, as you know they have to actually bite through the cord, whihc hpefully will take long enough that you can have them away from it if they ignore your saying "NO" before any real harm is done.
My god you girls can talk..chatterboxes.
K8y, ****... thats freaky re the spiders...Im sorry your mum is in a bad spot financially.
Now Im back to trying to catch up.
Thanks for the Brissy meet photos, hopefully I can make it next time.
tiggles glad to hear that Miss C is okay :hugs:

I know isnt their little bites cute.
when she has her arrowroots, she takes these mini little bites out of it and arrrghh I could squeel its so adorable.
Man, its so funny us mums, you can understand why people roll their eyes at doting parents - Im gushing over her eating a biccy. Haha.

Mum is looking for a part time job though because they just can't afford the high costs of rent anymore and money is always tight. Something blew on their fridge over night and so mum said all their vegies/fruits etc spoiled and they couldn't afford to buy more for another week :gloomy:
:( I really hate that hey, pensioners have it rough.. and not being able to buy more viegies etc like you say is a reality for so many, my grandparents who i live with are too and my grandmother has to go out and clean houses at 65 to make ends meet.. I try to put in a bit to make things easier.. fill up the car... extra money in her account..
mos if its only lebanese people then why do lebanese people say it to each ohers babies? i mean if they know its casting the evil eye on bubs why would they say it??
Well it's more those who KNOW they're doing it and believe in it themselves, etc - so I suppose not just Lebanese people. And there are some really grumpy old women who would do it on purpose. :rolleyes: I told DH and he just laughed. He didn't see any harm and as ems said, if he grows up with it, he won't be spooked by it when he's older.
ive been reading lots of books lately about parenting teenagers cause just quietly im crapping myself a bit. my little princess has turned into a bit of an ogre of late. so one thing im working on is that a lot of books suggest trying to find ways to give them responsibilty as they want to show us that they are grown up. so i declared my dd can cook dinner for the family one night a week as she loves cooking so she was thrilled. so last night she made us home made pizzas they were really yummy, she was so funny insisting on us all calling her chef as in yes chef no chef:laughing:. and she insisted on personally handing our plates to us not just putting them on the table and calling dinners ready like i do. im going to make an omlette for lunch today out of the left over bits and pieces from the pizzas yummo:chef:
SMO3, it's nice that your DD has a sense of pride about it all, with putting out the dishes and calling her "chef". Sounds very sweet. And it will give her such great skills for the future. As much as I love to cook NOW, when I first moved out of home, it was tinned goods and 2 min noodles all the way baby! I would have loved the chance to experiment and be taught some stuff by my mum when I was her age. Good on you for taking the time and effort to look into it and it sounds like you're doing a wonderful job of raising a lovely little lady. :goodvibes:
As for the saying "NO" "uh uh" etc. I think you have to weigh up the danger knowing that they ARE going to disobey at some stage, and that saying "NO" might just give you a few seconds grace before they do whatever you dont want them too. So, eg a heater that is fairly warm to touch but unlikely to burn unless they have their hand on their for a while you could get away with this, but for a HOT heater..eg a glass fronted fireplace or a radiater, where they will burn in seconds, then you really need a screen as bub's have much slower reflexes then us and also tend to grab rather then pull away.. I've seen some nasty hand burns.. Same as things like high steps onto concrete, and front doors with no fencing before the driveway/ road... Such things need safetly gates or locks as you dont want to risk them experimenting. A powercord you can get away with just saying no, as you know they have to actually bite through the cord, whihc hpefully will take long enough that you can have them away from it if they ignore your saying "NO" before any real harm is done.
C38, that's my worry. The heater in the main lounge room is one of those old gas ones where you hold down 1 button to click the thingy-me-bob and the little panel goes blue then orange... Oh boy I sound ROOLY SMART, eh?! :D I'm lucky the heater rarely goes on though as they don't get cold easily. I normally whinge I'm freezing, so I guess I won't be complaining too much this year...
Sh!t - One of the nieces is here sick... and Sam's been playing with her. I guess I didn't believe she was really sick but she apparently couldn't move yesterday. :rolleyes:
Another purée done: Chicken, Sweet Potato & Apple. I don't want him eating what we eat as I will then have to cook each night since I don't want him eating my MIL's cooking... lots of Ghee, everything over-salted, etc...
Forgot to send you these k8y: :hugs::hugs:
I know what it's like to have a broke mother. No matter what you do, you won't be able to help enough. I feel like sending my mum some money when I hear she's got $30 left to last her a whole week... then I remember she bought a $140 dress the week before. :rolleyes: Her problem is she USED to have a LIMITLESS Platinum Amex card and multi million dollar home, businesses, etc... so she's still used to having money... but doesn't. It's sad but if she won't help herself, why should I? I'm sure this is not your mother k8y, but it's just made me think about mine a little...
Oh and the BF that asked her to move out of his home has had a change of heart and wants her to move to Tasmania! :eek: First she told me she told him she won't move since he wasn't sure about the relationship a few months ago so why should she move interstate, what if he changes his mind THEN?, etc, etc... So she told me that she'd told him she won't leave my sister (who she shares a unit with and is a 21 year old single mother)... She said he told her he wouldn't move without her... but he's now BOUGHT a property in Tassie... and she's happy. No mention of my sister or if she's moving or not. It makes me so angry that she relies on MEN all the time. :hair: So much that she puts them before her children.
Sorry for the rant... :(
Hey all!
Stg - Ive raised my voice to Liam a couple of times, maybe even sworn a few times:shame: and I always feel AWFUL afterwards.....mind you, he doesnt listen to me when Im yelling (normally to be quiet - bit of an oxymoron there yealling to be quiet:rolleyes:) I think as long as we dont yell too often, never get physical, and always give heaps of cuddles and kisses, the bubs will be ok.
Also, wow about the teeth!:eek: You'll have to get her a toothbrush soon
K8y - All those spiders!!!:eek: Hun, if that we me, I would've been booked into the funny farm by now!!! Am PETRIFIEDof spiders....even and especially harmless huntsmans!
Also, :hugs:for the problem with the bestie.
SMO3 - so cute about Dylan crawling over to the dinner table with the rest of the family! And the cheeky way he gives you a big smile when you tell him not to do something! Liam is exactly the same. In fact, he will touch the dvd player or the blinds and then look at us, waiting for our reaction! Monkey!
Well, we are meant to be at babygym class at the moment, but Liam is still asleep - think I can hear him just stirring now. I cannot believe he has had over 2 hours for his morning nap!!! This NEVER happens!
Yesterday I took him to Mums and the 3 of us went to the Art Gallery (not really my scene) as they are showing a collection of never before seen photos of John & Yoko. Liam slept for most of the time we were there, but he needed a bum change something fierce! Oh dear, could smell him a mile away! Of course it was day one of the exhibition too, so the gallery was packed and I was very concious of the fact that if I could smell him then everyone else could as well....
Gotta go, hes just woken up. BBL. Hope you are having a great Wednesday. Take care
:laughing: Kyles, when I was working in a homewares shop Noosa there was this lady who used to walk her DD in her pram every since morning. They would always walk through our shop, pop in to say hello to me as I always made an effort to chat to her DD and play with her while mummy shopped around. Anyway, the DD developed a habit of pooping in the corner of the shop. She was walking but still in nappies, yet I had to search the shop after they left because the smell would linger for sooooo long I always worried she'd left a "present" somewhere in the shop! Their walks must have coincided with "pooping time"! :rolleyes:
She was a lovely lady though. I had so many people who would pop in for a chat and the last time they all saw me I was about 36 weeks PG. The step dad forced me onto holidays at 36 weeks and I chucked a wobbly and told him no worries, my holidays will start tomorrow! So in the end I really never got to say good bye to any of my regulars... sad really as there were some really lovely ladies. We moved back here a week later too so it was all very rushed. I hope maybe we can go back one day for a holiday - then I can pop in and say hi to a few people. DH isn't too interested in it though as there are a few bad memories. We'll see. :fingerscrossed:
Man I ramble. Sorry! :D Am feeling a little emotional today...
Sam's sick too - his little voice is all husky! It's cute though! ;)
It's the oldest niece's 18th this Friday and I'm taking a few deserts. I can't wait to bake but not sure when I'll have the time. We'll see...
stg, I hope you got to the beach. Take pics!
mos what is ghee? i have a combustion fire and im gonna make dh build a fence around it for a few yrs, i found even after mine had learned not to touch they were still quite clumsy and i was always worrying they would fall over onto heater/fire. so i plan on leving the fence for probably a few yrs anyway.
c38 u must see some really heartbreaking stuff working in a hospy. dont think id be cut out for it.
yeah i never really yell at dylan, he doesnt really bug me but the other 2 sure do:o. sometimes i find myself yelling "BRAYDEN STOP YELLING USE YOUR INSIDE VOICE!!" my neighbours must think im nuts:laughing:. i think overall it does kids good to know we arent perfect and we have limits.
Mum of Midgeys

sometimes i find myself yelling "BRAYDEN STOP YELLING USE YOUR INSIDE VOICE!!"
:laughing:
I used to find myself raising my voice to the kids at daycare saying the same thing...more just to get about the noise of 12 two year olds though :cool:. Well, we couldn't say 'stop yelling', just 'use your inside voice'. Only allowed to use positive language: 'walking feet' instead of 'stop running' or 'good listening' instead of 'be quiet'. It's a habit now, I must sound like such a ninny when I'm out correcting Khirra :rolleyes:
K8y - uuurrgggh, spiders. I'd be convinced they were still on me *shudders*. My step brother is working up here today, went to the toilet and came out saying 'Em, how are you with spiders?' I said that depends how close they are to me. To which he replied 'Well, how are you with the size of a spider?...' Rich, get rid of now. lol It was Massive - like the size of my hand. But at least there was only one!!
Oop, Khirra's woken up. Chat later :wave:
k8y :hugs: I hate huntsmans as well that would have been scary.
I had a wasp in the house yesterday and DH was home, so did the girly thing and got him to get rid of it!
stg- there are always going to be times when we lose our cool....my friend and I were talking about it this morning. Remember how we all got told to put bub in the cot and walk away if we couldn't handle any crying? well I think it is the same as they get older- as long as bubs/kids are safe if we lose our cool, walk away!
Kyles- don't you hate that about poos! MOS actually smelt PIp's before I did last time we caught up, but usually I can tell a mile away!
MOS and k8y :hugs: to you and your mums.
I have started saying no when Pip goes near out combustion heater, but need to get a fence thing. I assume it wont be cheaper as it will need to be heat resistant and flame resistant....:(
nothing much here went for my walk and them Pip's swimming today, she was in a wriggly mood today, think she just wanted to go off and swim by herself. was jumping in when sitting on the edge before I could stop her!!!
I can see white spots along her top gum so don't think it will be long before the top two come through.
SMO3, it's what Indians use in their cooking. It's LARD or PURE FAT! Euck! My MIL has a glass jar with about 3L of the stuff and she uses iy ALL THE TIME. Where she could use a "splash" of olive oil, she uses a "large wooden spoon full" of this sh!t. We've all asked her not to, but she says "you HAVE TO"... Hmmm.. She's not well educated on nutrition. :no:
My FIL is on a strict low cholesterol diet... and he was eating raw liver last week. The SIL was there and when she saw my face, she offered me some jokingly. I declined, then she very seriously told me it's "good for you". I asked "How?" and she told me it "puts hair on your chest"... I told her it's always at the very top of the list of things to avoid when you have high cholesterol... DUH! :rolleyes:
I wonder if my cholesterol's gone down since my last blood test. I reckon it would have HEAPS!
Can't believe the MIL is worried about eating my Salmon patties because of cholesterol and she feeds her hubby RAW LIVER! :laughing:

Hello all....Im tired & feeling a bit under the weather today :rain:........the start of a head cold I think...:rolleyes:........so I have been a grumpy B***H....I was up 3times with Casey then he woke @ 4.30am....
Men just don't get it......
Jake & Casey just had swimming,its one after another on weds....Casey is in his bedroom as of NOW...fingers x he sleeps....
Curtains in this morning & DH put the cot up.....
His room needs to be set up though,everything has been just shoved in there.
What else :detective:...........
K8y...eeewwwww spiders I would have FREAKED OUT! Im a wuss....the other day a big hairy spider flew up my skirt(larger than a 50cent peice)....man did I JUMP....it was on a towel that I shook.......I screamed!
What about your bestie??????
Stg.....I always feel guilty for things I've said...etc.......we are only human hun:hugs:
Have WW tonight.........but dont think I have lost as the doc weighed me yesterday as he couldn't believe how much weight I lost...& I weighed the same but had jeans on...tonight wearing my light weight pants....Lol
My BP was great & had my moles checked...ALL CLEAR!
MOS, raw liver..why dont they cook it, yuuuk!
MOS, raw liver..why dont they cook it, yuuuk!
No idea... They have it in Leb bread drowned in salt too! Makes me want to :barf:
OMG k8y!!!! I've got the heebie jeebies just reading your story! I HATE spiders & if DP is home, make him kill them, even daddy long legs ones!
oconky -I would've freaked at the wasp too. I'm such a wuss with anything like that!
BB -good luck at your weigh in. Hope you feel better soon.
MOS -Sorry, but that food sounds gross! I can understand why you don't want to eat it.
Well Chais finally said his first word the other day :smiliedance: He said Mum!!!!!! This has been followed with bub. DP is desperately (sp?) waiting for him to say Dad :laughing:
And the cheeky way he gives you a big smile when you tell him not to do something! Liam is exactly the same. In fact, he will touch the dvd player or the blinds and then look at us, waiting for our reaction! Monkey!
LOL, ,Chais is the same. He goes over to the tv/dvd player & has started pushing buttons & things, so he gets told no all the time now. He stops, looks up at us, gives the cheekiest smile & puts his hand out slowly to do it again, & looks at us to see if we're still watching.
I have said it before, but I'll say it again...I don't know how single mums do it. Kudos to you girls. My DH has barely been gone more than a day and I am...over it. :no:
I need to find more to keep us occupied. The kicker is mum usually stops by after work, but yesterday and today has had dr appointments and can't, so not only do I not have her visit to look forward to/break up the day, but I don't have DH coming home to look forward to, either! Bestie is supposed to come for dinner tonight. I told her 5 but she said she had to go for a run so it "might be a bit later"...I don't know what that means, but I like to have dinner by about 6 pm at the latest, b/c 6:30-7:00 is getting Nick ready for bed. She's trying to give me some company since DH is not here, and I appreciate that, but I should have just gone to mum's!
This woman who has just had octuplets and has 14 kids is an idiot and I'm sick of hearing about/from her.

Well since I've got your attention I'll tell you what was on the menu when I met the family:
STUFFED SHEEP'S INTESTINES & LAMB'S TONGUES!!!!!
The intestines were stuffed with rice and meat and they were like eating copndoms - thick and rubbery! (Not that I've ever eaten a condom, but that's what I'd expect eating a condom to be like! :D). The tongues were complete with skin, so taste buds and all.
I wanted to make a good impression so I ate it but when DH asked me how I like it IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AT THE TABLE, I was forced to say it was yummy... to which my MIL saw my plate almost empty (I was SO relieved!) and offered me seconds (as my heart MELTED!)... to which I accepted. So I ate TWO plates of the stuff and she was soooo impressed I liked it. I wonder if she remembers that now when she cooks it and I make myself a sandwich... :rolleyes: Maybe that was my test - to see how much I loved her son...
Just thinking about it makes me want to :barf:

Gross. I don't care how much I loved him, I never would have done that for Mike's mum!!!
Hell I wouldn't even eat fish at Christmas, she made me Chicken :)
MOS, you're a better woman than me! There's no way in the world I'd eat that, first impression or not.
I hate when you ask someone what time they'll be at your house and they say "I'm leaving shortly" esp when that person's "shortly" could be an hour
Well DP has gone out to Archerfield raceway with mates tonight (all decided at last minute) so now Sums is napping I have to hurry and have my shower etc as then it will be feeding/bathing her and feeding dogs and eating my dinner then night bottle then bed (gosh it's so full on isn't it?) :rolleyes: so will have to post about bestie later.

K8y those spiders sound just awful, i would have screamed the house down.
Can't remember much else so everyone, just been lurking as we are back to the house of no sleep. Q has had a cold for nearly 2 weeks now, back on anitbiotics to prevent an ear infection before we fly ON SUNDAY!! it has come up so fast started packing today i am scared for the flight but so excited ot see my family again.
Now i need some help though, i am stressing that i will forget something or just not think of something i need so if you were going overseas for 3 weeks what would you organise? I have the big things like insurance, passport, tickets and pre registered for the visa waiver program but i just have that feeling something is wrong or maybe i am just too tired as i have been up since 4 am and have had netball tryouts every nights this week.
Oh and Stg i got the barcodes thanks so much:)

Thanks everyone:yelclap:....DH is very proud of me....but he loves me regardess of my size :goodvibes: Im not the smallest I've been...when we got engaged I was size 8 & weighed abuot 53kg.....I was 23 though....I've had babies now & turning 30 in Aug.
So I have a bit more of a belly...but hey my boys are worth it! :D
Night all :sleeping:
:sleeping: I am so tired. Going to bed. Bestie left at about 8:40...but I was ready to go to bed about 7:30! And Nicklas fell asleep on my shoulder in the recliner, but woke up the first time I put him down, didn't even stir this time. He was up at 12 and 3 and 5:30 last night...I'm sure tonight will be similar - its been the "pattern" for the last week or so.
It'll probably take ages for me to get to sleep again tonight, too. Every little noise makes me freak out, and there are a lot of noises in this complex! I am kind of glad we're not in a house though...the one time I was left alone for a few nights in our house in the States I almost went certifiably crazy. OK, 'nuff talk about that, I'm going to bed and, hopefully, to sleep. G'night!
Now i need some help though, i am stressing that i will forget something or just not think of something i need so if you were going overseas for 3 weeks what would you organise? I have the big things like insurance, passport, tickets and pre registered for the visa waiver program but i just have that feeling something is wrong or maybe i am just too tired as i have been up since 4 am and have had netball tryouts every nights this week.
Those sound like the major things I would organize. What about food/milk/nappies etc.? Have you planned how much of all that you will need and how you will carry it all? Where in the States are you going again? We go in 3 months, and I am sure it will be here in no time, too. I'm already losing sleep over it. I really hope Quinn is good on the flight for you and that her cold clears up, or poor thing may be miserable. You'll have to make notes/pointers for me!!! Pleeeeeease with a cherry on top! I am really excited to get there and see family and friends, just wish there was an easier way to get there, you know, like snapping your fingers or something! :D
Ok, g'night fo' reals this time.

My sister just got engaged!!!!!!
I am so excited for her, a little sad though because her fiance is leaving for afghanistan on friday and when he gets back she is going ( both in the army) but i am so happy!
Oh and she asked me to be maid of honour!!
MBQ that's exciting about your sister...sad about them both going O/S separately though.
Babywez did your friend turn up, think I missed that bit...??
LOL you made me laugh going on about single mums... if you dont know any different you just get on and do it, Though YES some days are LONG only to look ahead and see the same the next. I'm going to Melb next week and was organising a meet up with an old beastie. She was going on about how we had to meet earlish in the morning as she had to be home with her 2year old for their normal morning sleep as her DH has TAFE in the arfternoon on that day and she has to get dinner, do bathtime and settle her wee one all on her own and how hard that is..then she went quite....:laughing:
MOS :yelclap:for eating that...ew. I would probably try some to be polite (I like trying unusual foods) but I doubt I would be able to eat the whole plate, let alone two serves. I don't do offel.. Ive tried tongue as a kid but from memory didn't like it.
I can do raw fish, but raw red meat...in particular liver ..:barf:
:smiliedance:way to go BB with the weight loss.
I took little G swimming today with another mum from my Mum's Group. He LOVED it. Kept putting his face in himself. Was kicking and splashing around...LOL I pulled out of the formal lessons we had booked as they clashed with CC. But might look into a different day. He slept like a log for 2 hours after then was SO hungry. He had BF..then had 1/2 pkt of one of those frozen vegie steamer packs...corn and broccoli ( I ate the carrot as it was a bit too hard for him), a small tub of some pasta spirals I'd made and frozen for him, 1/3 of one of those little tins of tunaand then 3/4 a small tub of apple/pear puree (I have one open in the fridge for use on his porridge).
He was then a rat to get to sleep. Cried so I ended up getting him back up and BF then he rewoke twice needing cuddles to get him to settle..
ANyhow guess I better think about going to bed.
Tomorrow I have to think about what I'll need clean to pack for Melb I guess.. MBQ I don;t know where Id start re going os but you sound like you have the major things as you said. Now I guess its just things like what you might need on the plane etc. I'm nervy about the flight just to Melb, mainly as its at 8am, meaning we need to leave here at about 615 ..G doesnt normally wake until 7ish (though often feed about 530-6, but has a short nap after)..so we will be on the plane at breakfast time...Im thinking Ill make some raison toast and take that for him to nibble on and paint the back of the seat with...:D

=way to go BB with the weight loss.
I took little G swimming today with another mum from my Mum's Group. He LOVED it. Kept putting his face in himself. Was kicking and splashing around...LOL I pulled out of the formal lessons we had booked as they clashed with CC. But might look into a different day. He slept like a log for 2 hours after then was SO hungry. He had BF..then had 1/2 pkt of one of those frozen vegie steamer packs...corn and broccoli ( I ate the carrot as it was a bit too hard for him), a small tub of some pasta spirals I'd made and frozen for him, 1/3 of one of those little tins of tunaand then 3/4 a small tub of apple/pear puree (I have one open in the fridge for use on his porridge).
He was then a rat to get to sleep. Cried so I ended up getting him back up and BF then he rewoke twice needing cuddles to get him to settle..
ANyhow guess I better think about going to bed.
Tomorrow I have to think about what I'll need clean to pack for Melb I guess.. MBQ I don;t know where Id start re going os but you sound like you have the major things as you said. Now I guess its just things like what you might need on the plane etc. I'm nervy about the flight just to Melb, mainly as its at 8am, meaning we need to leave here at about 615 ..G doesnt normally wake until 7ish (though often feed about 530-6, but has a short nap after)..so we will be on the plane at breakfast time...Im thinking Ill make some raison toast and take that for him to nibble on and paint the back of the seat with...
Both my boys go to Oceana on weds...Casey also sleeps like a log afterwards :yes:
He is really good kicks & paddles his little arms hes so heavy though its a real workout :p
What are you going to Mel for?
Raisin toast sounds like a great idea :thumbsup:
I flew to NZ when Jacob was 7/8months old by myself too,we flew from Perth had a stop over in Sydney(if your've been to Sydney you will know that you need to catch a mini bus to get to International terminal) I had him in my pouch....I was buggered when I got to AKL....Direct flight takes 7.5hours from Perth to NZ we were longer due to the stop over etc......Melbourne is a peice of cake! :laughing:
Thanks everyone....DH is very proud of me....but he loves me regardess of my size Im not the smallest I've been...when we got engaged I was size 8 & weighed abuot 53kg.....I was 23 though....I've had babies now & turning 30 in Aug.
So I have a bit more of a belly...but hey my boys are worth it!
Night all
You're like me - I was married at 24 years old at 52kgs, reached 69 PG and today I've hit 52kgs again. Yesterday I was 53.2kgs clothed with shoes after food but I weighed myseflf properly this morning and am spot on 52... so it will happen for you too. I think if this is a lifestyle change for you, then it will just keep on falling off. It must feel like a new woman to your DH though! :D (That's more along the lines of what I meant the first time!).
My sister just got engaged!!!!!!
I am so excited for her, a little sad though because her fiance is leaving for afghanistan on friday and when he gets back she is going ( both in the army) but i am so happy!
Oh and she asked me to be maid of honour!!
Wonderful news! Congrats! :smiliedance:
Not sure what I'd pack for OS but I'll try and think of some obscure things... Don't forget the phone charger or any other charger... put a sign on your formula if taking any saying "BABY FORMULA - NOT DRUGS!" :laughing:
Ummm... take some toys for Q on the plane - maybe something new that lights up...
Camera (and charger if needed)
Baby Panadol for flight (maybe)...
Nail clippers - I forgot these for our Chrissy holiday and Sam scratched himself...
Maybe get someone at the other end to have some nappies for you rather than carrying them?
Sorry no more ideas. Off for my walk now. Take care all. :wave:

;) I get what you mean,Poor DH hasn't had any "action" for a while :no:.......must put that on my "do to list" :laughing:
C38 - yeah, friend showed up. At 5 she said "leaving shortly" she lives 10 mins away, got here about 5:50! Dinner was ready.
Nick is tuckered out this arvo from playing at our friends house for a few hours. He's the only boy, lucky kid. :laughing: Although one little girl is the biter/hair puller of the group, and her mum is at her wits end. Has done everything the books/manuals say to do and nothing gets through to her. :fingerscrossed: she grows out of it soon! We don't even know where she got it from, as she's not around other kids much, certainly not any that do the hair pulling/biting thing.
is anyone else still having back pain from birth? i know i whinged a while back and some were, well ages ago. its really getting me down. i cant sit i cant lay flat and driving is nasty nasty stuff:crying:. i saw the dr about it ages ago and he said it will get better in time. how much time its been 9 months? so so over it sorry for the rant:o
bb thats such awesome weightloss, u must feel so proud of yourself:yelclap:
very quiet in here today
mos:barf:. u always have the grossest stories lol
on a plane hmm? think id give panadol before i went as people say the babies always scream cause their ears hurt with the popping - pressurisation feeling. something babies love but usually dont get? like keys? dunno my car keys keep dylan busy for ages not the most ideal baby toy though:o

Hi girls! Sorry I have been M.I.A. We went away to visit the in-laws for a few days blah blah then Elliot got sick, been doing wedding stuff. Boring but busy! Haven't had a chance to get on or read so ... someone..
What's been happening??
Kotakai - How is bubs? Have been thinking about you lots, thinking you must be about halfway now, right??
When is our next meet up? Hanging out for the boys to have a little play together. I think Elliot needs some baby company. I don't seem to understand his sense of humour, but maybe the boys might?? haha
Will try and read through quickly before he wakes up xx
Mrs Molly Coddle
26-02-2009, 15:56
Typing liek a maniac before he wakes up cause i know it will be in a minute!!
MOS - EWW to the offal eating. Bleugh. Makes me want to become vegetarian again just thinking about it, although I do think it's good that SOMEONE eats it and it doesn't just go to waste.
kotakai - sucks about your inconclusive results and no winkie/vag sighting! Fingers crossed for next time
mybabyQ - congrats to your sister!! How exciting for you all :)
Ahhh now I have forgotten what else there was :( Sorry guys, don't take it personally!!
Book recommendation from us - The Complete Secrets of Happy Children by Steve Buddulph. It makes heaps of sense, easy to read, and has really made me think about how I talk to Elliot. You guys should read it! it's really good :)
You know since we don't have a telly, I probably read 2 or 3 books a week. Isn't that crazy? They are so exxy though. I need to join the library but I LOVE buying books. I hate borrowing them. I like to see them afterwards sitting on the shelf as proof of my intellectual efforts!
Having trouble with Uni trying to organise to have some grads on my transcript changed from fails to withdrawns (which they should be but the head of school is an IDIOT and well.. blah). So that sucks. Am going to apply for UNE to start next semester in the B General Studies/B Teaching (Primary). Most of what I've done will cross over, but I still have (what seems like) HEAPS of subjects to do before I graduate :( It's depressing just thinking about.
I have seen the psychologist twice and have noticed a positive change in myself, I think. She is very good. I like her a lot. I kind of look forward to seeing her as I get to have a big, guilt-free winge!
Elliot is just out of control with energy, my god! I am exhausted. He is into everything, whinges about EVERYTHING and well.. you know.. I know it's normal, but man it is hard.
I think DP and I may have found 'the' house. It's this old 2 bedroom cottage built about 1920/1930 and it's beaaaautiful. Needs a bit of cosmetic work to get it looking great, and it's a bit small, but it's in our ideal location (walking distance from school, playground, shops but still in the 'country') sort of thing.. and it's an up and coming area, so would be a good investment. Fingers crossed. Going for a second look on the weekend hopefully. I keep saying we have found 'the' house but I think this time I am actually right! Ha!
Baby awake! love you all xx

Justin's best mate is getting married next year overseas....hoping we can go ..........:fingerscrossed:
Hi all,
congrats BB:yelclap: that is awesome 1kg to go!
mybabyq- how exciting for your sister, something to keep them both going whilst they are away:valentine:
mos- yuk yuk yuk, but in saying that I have eaten white and black pudding thanks to my scottish background and loved it (haven't had it for years tho)
kotakai and babywez- love your new avatars both gorgeous!
lambkin- I love reading and keeping books as well,m but have to get rid of them otherwise would have too many. my friends sister runs a second hand online book store which has been great to try books I wouldn't normally buy.
k8y- still waiting for the bestie story!
mybabyq- can't beleive you are going on sunday have fun!!
well Pip has one of her middle top teeth now, wasn't too bad about it. had my course today- got 100% of my homework right so a good start!
anyway looking for some accom for tomorrow night, off to Mudgee and then a friends farm out past Dubbo for the weekend so will have lots to catch up on on my return. Have a good weekend all.
BTW Sydneyites let me know the next meet, don't really know what I am doing atm, but if I can get there I will:thumbsup:

Hey girls,
BB - 1kg to go!!!! :yelclap: You must feel soo bl00dy good about yourself... like, not just the fact that you must be looking amaaazing, but the fact that you actually put your mind to it and did it. So very, very impressive!
MOS - ....I haven't decided if you're the bravest woman I know for eating that at ALL of that stuff, let or 2 plates, or the craziest :laughing: You must really, really love your husband. Really. ... I don't know if I'd love mine that much, lol. Pretty sure I wouldn't :p
MBQ - Congrats to your sister!!! Must be so hard being in the army and going OS seperately. I can't really think of anything to suggest with the trip... I'm flat out packing the baby bag of a morning, lol.
Lambkin - glad things are going well with the psych! Bummer about the uni stuff. And I'm the same with books... been a long while since I've bought any though.
Supermum - I get a really achey lower back when I'm lying in bed at night now, which I never had before having Khirra. I definately have a few gripes leftover from pregnancy :thumbsdown:...
K8y - Have things patched up with your bestie? Or is she wiped? :hugs:
And hey to anyone I've missed :wave:
Well, we had a biggish day. Khirra's top tooth is finally cutting. Had mother's group today, which was good, Kiz had a blast yelling at all the other bubs. Gosh, she's just so in-your-face with them. Then we headed on to the shop with my bestie, so Khirra was buggered when we got home, poor thing.
She's started standing without holding on to things the past day for about 5 seconds at a time. Bit scarey.
Annnyway, should go get dinner on. Mum's been doing a JP course the past 3 days, so she probably doesn't feel like cooking.
I have said it before, but I'll say it again...I don't know how single mums do it. Kudos to you girls. My DH has barely been gone more than a day and I am...over it.
This woman who has just had octuplets and has 14 kids is an idiot and I'm sick of hearing about/from her.
Its tough sometimes but no matter our circumstances, as complex as all our different ones are, us mums pull through one way or the other
And the "octo-mum" - give me a break, to quote you, she's and idiot. Its called an irresponsible BAD mother.
Well since I've got your attention I'll tell you what was on the menu when I met the family:
STUFFED SHEEP'S INTESTINES & LAMB'S TONGUES!!!!!
The intestines were stuffed with rice and meat and they were like eating copndoms - thick and rubbery! (Not that I've ever eaten a condom, but that's what I'd expect eating a condom to be like! ). The tongues were complete with skin, so taste buds and all.
I wanted to make a good impression so I ate it but when DH asked me how I like it IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AT THE TABLE, I was forced to say it was yummy... to which my MIL saw my plate almost empty (I was SO relieved!) and offered me seconds (as my heart MELTED!)... to which I accepted. So I ate TWO plates of the stuff and she was soooo impressed I liked it. I wonder if she remembers that now when she cooks it and I make myself a sandwich... :rolleyes: Maybe that was my test - to see how much I loved her son...
Just thinking about it makes me want to
DISGUSTING.
I only eat beef, chicken, lamb(sometimes). Thats the extent of meat. no fish. No Pork, and no crazy organs of animals. and I wouldnt budge for anything. lol
If its a vegetable or fruit or some other produce Ill eat it. Not fussy there and I wont accept my child not eating them, but I wouldnt force meats or cheeses or anything not.. grown.. on them if they didnt like it .
And man, must be love as others have said lol
is anyone else still having back pain from birth? i know i whinged a while back and some were, well ages ago. its really getting me down. i cant sit i cant lay flat and driving is nasty nasty stuff:crying:. i saw the dr about it ages ago and he said it will get better in time. how much time its been 9 months? so so over it sorry for the rant:o

Ive always got back pain and my back isnt wat it used to be. Not that it was good before..
My BODYSHOP kit arrived this afternoon.........I smell sooooooooooooooooo good :thumbsup:
oooerr. I bet you do. I love delicious body products
Thanks ladies. I DO love my man. :yes: :valentine:
Well this arvo I've half-made my desert for tomorrow night. It's like a swiss roll, so I made a big flat sponge cake, then rolled it up with a clean tea towel and let it cool. Meanwhile I made a choc fudge sauce then let that cool too. Then I un-ravelled the sponge, spread on Marscapone, then the choc fudge on top (keeping half for later), spread pitted black cherries out of a tin, the rolled the sponge back up and wrapped glad wrap around it. Now it's in the fridge until tomorrow arvo when I'll pull it out, sift some cocoa on top and re-heat the remainder of the choc fudge sauce, then drizzle that over. I can't wait! I love how GOOD it looks at the end... and to say I made it! :smiliedance:
Oh and I'm baking some Pistachio and dark choc with fig mini muffin thingies in a kind of meringue... YUMMO!
Mos just read what you ate....by God you are a good wife!!!!!!
You are a saint!
lamby - when is your wedding, must be the next week or so. Is everything under control?
I am such a WUSS. I am so glad DH gets home tomorrow. I'm ok when I'm at home and it gets dark outside, but tonight I came home from mum's in the dark, to a dark empty house...I hate that. My shadow even spooks me! :eek:
And all I want to do is sign in to FB and check it and go to bed, but my account is down for maintenance?! WTF? I'm like a junkie or something. I don't think I'll be able to go to bed without making sure I haven't missed something!! :geek:
AND when we got home, Nick had fallen asleep in the car. Carried him upstairs to see the cot rail UP and his cot covered in TOYS. So he's asleep in our bed, and I don't want to move him again, which is no big deal, he can sleep there, but I can't go lay in bed and watch TV!!! :hissy:
And now its raining. With my laundry on the line. PEEEEEEEEERFECT.
God I'm a whinger.

lambkin that book sounds good. I will look it up :thumbsup: How are the wedding plans going?
MOS no way would I have eaten that, let alone asked for more! do they make you eat it now?? Your DH must have been soooo impressed.
When we have our big Bubhub meet you can cater for it all :p
babywez gosh that's gone fast!
I too am terrible at sleeping alone. I have my ears cocked for every little sound, my heart racing, convinced someone is in the house. I say this now because I know your DP is home tomorrow so it won't stress you :laughing:
The only thing that keeps me sane is having my giant scary dog Rufus. He barks so loud and savagely at any strangers that it even scares the sh!t out of me!
BB mmmm I love bodyshop stuff. I love their african scrub stuff but very $$$. When do you go to Perth now? soon isn't it?
Your not planning for bub no. 3??
Where abouts overseas is the wedding?
ems yay for Khirra's top tooth cutting through. Sums top ones are growing fast since they cut! and wow standing on her own for a few seconds is amazing!
Sums is still only learning to try and be up on all fours. I can't help but wish she would hurry up because it seems every single baby I know is crawling, pulling up on furniture etc and has been for ages. Don't know why she is taking her time :confused:
I can't remember any more personals. Have been popping in and out all day but went for a big run then did hours of housework, then folded all the washing, cooked dinner, you all know the usual lol so I just never got around to posting till now.
One of my friends, the one I always go down the coast with to get my hair done, is re-scheduling on me for the 2nd time. We make our appts while we're there ahead of time for the next one and she's put me off twice now. Once for something or rather on this weekend, and then some wine festival the following weekend. She's worried I would be mad, so I sent her a text saying it's a bit sh!t to get put off twice now for better offers. Once is fine, but twice? a bit much. I was proud of myself for actually saying something. She hasn't responded so now maybe another friend has bit the dust? You must all wonder what is wrong with me :o I'm a good friend truly, I don't harrass and I'm kind and thoughtful. I think my problem is my expectations are for them to treat me the way I treat them and it just doesn't happen that way and then I get dejected and disappointed.
Anyway enough waffle. I'm tired. I promise I'll get to the bestie saga soon it's just that I want to go lay down and watch tv and zone out.
Night ladies xx
Hoi
OMG spiders :eek:. I would have run screaming, you are very brave staying in there and helping to wash the horrid things away. I would have emptied a can of fly spray in there and washed in the laundry sink... God they are revolting and I hate them.
DD2 now basically doesnt eat off a spoon so she gets only finger food. It is actually good, she can now eat what I am eating. We went out for tea last week (vietnamese) and Hannah had bits of our spring roll, fried rice, bits of steamed veg, etc.
How is everyone going with the bf? Hannah is fluctuating between 3 and 4 feeds a day. She is still pretty inconsistent and is waking a bit at night, and needing a feed to get back to sleep. I'm happy to oblige, dont want to hear her cry... :o
Speaking of which, who has been watching 'Bringing up Baby' on ABC? The routine lady just makes me so mad! Dont look at baby you will relinquish the power, dont hold baby close when feeding, you dont want him to think feeding is fun...put baby down at 7pm and dont go back in til 7am, ...let them cry it out... these are newborns she is talking about!!! It makes me cross. Sorry if I offend anyone who's into this but I disagree with EVERYTHING she has said so far. What a cow :thumbsdown:
SMo3 I saw your other post, I hope you are ok. Sorry I have no advice but want you to know that a problem shared is a problem halved...corny I know but its true. :kiss:
Dondons Gabriel is similar with eating, mostly has finger stufff now and eats basically what I eat. But some foods he LOVES (eg yoghurt)are just mushy so I load the spoon and give it to him...risking the fling...LOL Though he's not that fussed on things mashed all together now (cant convince grandma of that though:rolleyes:)..he does rather like to eat off my folk though:D
K8Y:hugs:dont worry about your friends they will either come round ..or not. And as for Sums not crawling on all fours... well G's been comandoing longer and although he rocks on all fours.. he still gets down on tummy to move (picking up all the dog hair and dust) he can pull himself to stand if you sit him near something...was crazy about it early in week, but seems over it now.
Ems: Kiz sounds like G..he crawls over to other babys at Playgroup and squeals in their face, or trys to grab their nose/eyes etc.. I'm sure the other Mum's are getting a bit thingy about it... Ah well... their babies will be doing similar soon..maybe.. (K8y ..their babies are WAY behind Summer and G, some only just rolling...one still not)
I must admit I'll be kind of glad when he can sit and stand more stabley as when hes in a clingon mood, theres times I need to plant him to do something,..eg fill up the bath.. he insists on standing and hangs on then crashhhhhhh
ok have forgotten other personals sorry
Gabriel has done two new things in the past few days....
Started babbling..."MMMMUM mumm muma, nan, nan,nan":D
AND...
drum roll
He's found his willy:goodvibes:
(I was beginning to worry it had no nerve endings or something, when others were talking about the goings on of their boys...and he had never showed any interest:o)
..just saw the pics of your Mum's wedding Ems.. Snuck a look at the dress...it looks fantastic on her!
Oh anre the witch on that ABC bringing up Babies... I couldnt hear it tonight as Gabriel was crying and being cuddled by his 1950s failure of a mum...:rolleyes:
I think she's some sort of sadist.. obviously has no children! Though its obvious they chose the most extreme people they could to cause audience reaction. I just feel SO sorry for those poor babies...and their mum's who are being brainswashed against their instincts when they are so vulnerable. It worries me that the first woman who chose that method is a child carer... glad MY boy isnt in her care:(
Hope everyone is well? cant believe how time is flying. Extremly exhausted after working for the week. was a good week tho. Then AF returned for the first tme since having Kara. now that here is a greater chance of me falling preg now AF has returned, DF said he was serious and we can try for one more. We both want 4. A little excited and scared.
Photos from our bubhub day:

Thanks to Khirra for the lovely rattle. Sums loves it :yes:
Looks like a great day, so sorry i missed it. Whens the next met??
Kara bit my leg the other day (it really hurt) and i screamed owwwww that hurt and she looked at me and her lip dropped and then tears. I felt bad but it really hurt. I think i scared her.
I watched that 'bringing up baby'. i mean leaving them alone outside for 3/4hrs everyday, no matter what, i couldnt do it. I cant say i would have let her look after my babies while i went out to dinner if she had me in tears like that poor woman.
MOS, your gamer than i am i wouldnt have been able to eat it no matter how in llove i was.
Well its 1:30am and i have spent the last 3hrs rocking Kara, she just wont sleep (ive tried it all) and cries when i stop, guessing overtired now. If DF didnt have to start work early, or DSD didnt have school I think i would let her cry it out for a bit. sometimes 5min of crying then a feed and she out to it, but i dont want her waking everyone up.Im so tired.
flick we missed you too! We'll plan the next one for soon as we want to go swimming at Southbank and needs to be in nice warm weather!
Congrats on getting AF back and trying again. How exciting (am so jealous!)
Sums gets hunks of my skin and pinches (ouch!) I yell out owwwww too and she just smiles at me :no:
dondons and c38 I watched that show too and that routine woman :hair: DP and I were going mental at her. Fancy her crapping on about the newborn (NEWBORN) being manipulative and leaving them outside for 3.5 hours that poor mother was not coping and those poor babies were crying their eyes out. I felt so sad for them but then they opted to put themselves through it, though hard not to feel sad for the bubs - they didn't opt for it.
She prized routine above all else ladies, even love and cuddles. She set out cuddle time for this poor mum - 10 minutes at 3pm or something. That was it. All other 'contact' time was only to be through feeding, changing or bathing them, so roughly 4 hours out of each day was the only touch these poor babies had with their parents.
c38 glad to hear Mr G found his willy :D
DP off to work early today so made lots of noise :rolleyes: so at 5.45am I just got up and got Sums bottle and fed her (she was asleep as usually wakes up for bot at 6.30am). Put her back to bed and she's still sleeping. She woke up at 7.30am which woke me up and played and whinged for 10 minutes so I was just about to get up and get her and she went back to sleep. Yay! lol
We're off to buy my textbooks today as start uni on Monday :eek: Full time. So nervous I've been avoiding giving in to any feelings on it. It's so hard and stressful that I hope DP can put up with me.
babywez how did Nicklas go last night? I see Berrets from Sunrise is on the Gold Coast for some surfing thing? Looks good. You should take Nick down for a dig in the sand!

She's worried I would be mad, so I sent her a text saying it's a bit sh!t to get put off twice now for better offers. Once is fine, but twice? a bit much. I was proud of myself for actually saying something. She hasn't responded so now maybe another friend has bit the dust? You must all wonder what is wrong with me I'm a good friend truly, I don't harrass and I'm kind and thoughtful. I think my problem is my expectations are for them to treat me the way I treat them and it just doesn't happen that way and then I get dejected and disappointed.
Anyway enough waffle. I'm tired. I promise I'll get to the bestie saga soon it's just that I want to go lay down and watch tv and zone out.
Night ladies xx
Not at all :no: You sound like a beautiful person....I think your gorgeous....Im your new bestie now remember :D
We would be flying into prague,wedding in the Czech Rep somewhere.....its a long way so not sure at this stage...cost $$$ & not sure about taking the kiddies.
Still undecided on Baby no3....we want to travel lots more etc..... & it easier with two childern....we are very happy with our boys :goodvibes:
Hoi
OMG spiders . I would have run screaming, you are very brave staying in there and helping to wash the horrid things away. I would have emptied a can of fly spray in there and washed in the laundry sink... God they are revolting and I hate them.
DD2 now basically doesnt eat off a spoon so she gets only finger food. It is actually good, she can now eat what I am eating. We went out for tea last week (vietnamese) and Hannah had bits of our spring roll, fried rice, bits of steamed veg, etc.
How is everyone going with the bf? Hannah is fluctuating between 3 and 4 feeds a day. She is still pretty inconsistent and is waking a bit at night, and needing a feed to get back to sleep. I'm happy to oblige, dont want to hear her cry...
Speaking of which, who has been watching 'Bringing up Baby' on ABC? The routine lady just makes me so mad! Dont look at baby you will relinquish the power, dont hold baby close when feeding, you dont want him to think feeding is fun...put baby down at 7pm and dont go back in til 7am, ...let them cry it out... these are newborns she is talking about!!! It makes me cross. Sorry if I offend anyone who's into this but I disagree with EVERYTHING she has said so far. What a cow
SMo3 I saw your other post, I hope you are ok. Sorry I have no advice but want you to know that a problem shared is a problem halved...corny I know but its true.
I also saw a bit of the that show told DH turn to turn it off......I didn't like that lady at all.........what a cow...I can understand what she is saying as my boys followed routines still do...but im not a NAZI about it...
I mean come on they are newborns they need love/cuddles etc...being close to their mummy is although they know....I could go on & on.....hahaha
Dondons Gabriel is similar with eating, mostly has finger stufff now and eats basically what I eat. But some foods he LOVES (eg yoghurt)are just mushy so I load the spoon and give it to him...risking the fling...LOL Though he's not that fussed on things mashed all together now (cant convince grandma of that though)..he does rather like to eat off my folk though
K8Ydont worry about your friends they will either come round ..or not. And as for Sums not crawling on all fours... well G's been comandoing longer and although he rocks on all fours.. he still gets down on tummy to move (picking up all the dog hair and dust) he can pull himself to stand if you sit him near something...was crazy about it early in week, but seems over it now.
Ems: Kiz sounds like G..he crawls over to other babys at Playgroup and squeals in their face, or trys to grab their nose/eyes etc.. I'm sure the other Mum's are getting a bit thingy about it... Ah well... their babies will be doing similar soon..maybe.. (K8y ..their babies are WAY behind Summer and G, some only just rolling...one still not)
I must admit I'll be kind of glad when he can sit and stand more stabley as when hes in a clingon mood, theres times I need to plant him to do something,..eg fill up the bath.. he insists on standing and hangs on then crashhhhhhh
ok have forgotten other personals sorry
Gabriel has done two new things in the past few days....
Started babbling..."MMMMUM mumm muma, nan, nan,nan"
AND...
drum roll
He's found his willy
(I was beginning to worry it had no nerve endings or something, when others were talking about the goings on of their boys...and he had never showed any interest)
Casey hasn't found his yet :laughing:..........
Hope everyone is well? cant believe how time is flying. Extremly exhausted after working for the week. was a good week tho. Then AF returned for the first tme since having Kara. now that here is a greater chance of me falling preg now AF has returned, DF said he was serious and we can try for one more. We both want 4. A little excited and scared.
Looks like a great day, so sorry i missed it. Whens the next met??
Kara bit my leg the other day (it really hurt) and i screamed owwwww that hurt and she looked at me and her lip dropped and then tears. I felt bad but it really hurt. I think i scared her.
I watched that 'bringing up baby'. i mean leaving them alone outside for 3/4hrs everyday, no matter what, i couldnt do it. I cant say i would have let her look after my babies while i went out to dinner if she had me in tears like that poor woman.
MOS, your gamer than i am i wouldnt have been able to eat it no matter how in llove i was.
Well its 1:30am and i have spent the last 3hrs rocking Kara, she just wont sleep (ive tried it all) and cries when i stop, guessing overtired now. If DF didnt have to start work early, or DSD didnt have school I think i would let her cry it out for a bit. sometimes 5min of crying then a feed and she out to it, but i dont want her waking everyone up.Im so tired.
Hope you get some much needed sleep tonight....
You will be run of your feet with 3 kiddies.........lots of fun though.

K8y- that is a bit dodge of your mate. :hugs: Does this one have kids?
Dondons - I did watch that show last night, and I wanted to throttle that 50's lady. :thumbsdown: She reminded me of one midwife who came to visit at the house after Khirra was born who tried to give me breastfeeding advice (AND missed Khirra's tongue tie despite being on the the hospital's lactation consultants...but that's another gripe altogether, lol) and told me once I fed Khirra, put her down in her cot and leave her there. 'No cuddles or touching as she does her growing while she sleeps'. I didn't like her. lol
C38 - I'm glad Khirra's not the only one :laughing: She sounds exactly like Gabe! We need to start our own mothers group for extrovert babies, lol. Thanks for the comments re: the wedding... mum did look lovely :goodvibes: Although naturally she's complaining about her 'big pot belly' blah blah blah. :rolleyes: Will be good when we get the proper photos!
Flick - exciting about trying for the next one!! I've only got 3 lots of Pill left, then we're 'on the pump' again, as DP so charmingly puts it. You're right; scarey and exciting.
Well, quiet here today. Will be glad when we buy another car again, so I can get out and about.
My sister and I are organising the last of my Mum's 50th present - we're giving her a swim with the dolphins at Seaworld on Sunday. So we're taking her down to the Spit for a champagne breakfast then surprising her. Hopefully she loves it :D Except we're going to have to leave here at 6am to make it down there to leave enough time for breakky before the swim... blegh.

Here, here! She is a beautiful person - can say that from experience now! :D
And that sounds like a great trip - hope it works out!!!
Well my friend sent me an email this morning. I'm just going to copy and paste it as easier to do so then type it all out explaining it:
k8y it really isn’t like that. I am just sick of being at home on my own on the weekends. This weekend was really hard after putting Ashley to sleep, and so when the girls asked me to go away with them I just said yes. I am so sorry that I have offended you it really never was my intention to do so.
(Ashley is her mums cat and her mum is overseas for a year atm)
This was my response:
Yes love I do understand. I always did. It’s just from my perspective I keep getting put off for better things.
I cop that alot from (ex bestie's name here) so I feel I have no friends at the moment (which is not your fault) but it’s rather depressing.
You should have asked me to come with you for Ashley honey. You know I’m always there for you. All you have to do is ask and I’ll be there in an instant.
If your lonely on weekends or weeknights don’t feel you can’t invite yourself around to my place anytime. I don’t ask often because it seems your always doing something.
DP is going out tonight so I’m home alone as usual. Would you like to come over for dinner? I cook a lovely vegetarian rice.
xx
Obviously I didn't say DP in the email but you all know lol
Anyway Sums awake now so gotta go :wave:
Thanks BBB :hugs::goodvibes: (I should change that to VB instead - virtual bestie lol)
Kotakai - How is bubs? Have been thinking about you lots, thinking you must be about halfway now, right??
When is our next meet up? Hanging out for the boys to have a little play together. I think Elliot needs some baby company. I don't seem to understand his sense of humour, but maybe the boys might?? haha
Yeah, I'm 21 weeks today. Had a pretty crappy scan last week, but have booked in to have another one next Friday.
I'm ready to meet whenever it suits everyone. Still happy to have it at my house if that suits.
She's started standing without holding on to things the past day for about 5 seconds at a time. Bit scarey.
Go Khirra :smiliedance:
Gabriel has done two new things in the past few days....
Started babbling..."MMMMUM mumm muma, nan, nan,nan":D
AND...
drum roll
He's found his willy:goodvibes:
Yay Gabriel :yelclap:
K8Y:hugs:dont worry about your friends they will either come round ..or not.

Oh C38, the whole "willy obsession" is sooo passee in our house... *said with uppity accent* ;) lol
And k8y, Sam's still around where Summer is - he moves around but can't crawl as such and no pulling up on things as yet... don't stress.
Gotta go. The MIL's p!ssed me off and I have an assignment to do this morning so I'm in the middle of storming out of the house in a tantrum - gotta run! :wave:
I am such a WUSS. I am so glad DH gets home tomorrow. I'm ok when I'm at home and it gets dark outside, but tonight I came home from mum's in the dark, to a dark empty house...I hate that. My shadow even spooks me!
Yeah Im just the same
How is everyone going with the bf? Hannah is fluctuating between 3 and 4 feeds a day. She is still pretty inconsistent and is waking a bit at night, and needing a feed to get back to sleep. I'm happy to oblige, dont want to hear her cry... :o
She has 4 a day. 7am, 11 am, 3pm, 8pm.
But half the time she just plays silly buggers on the boob. So probably doesnt really need it. I dont know??
Does anyone know when to reduce to 3 feeds a day?
I visited mum and she was saying Im getting too skinny. I havent eaten well the past week (remember my lollies for brekky MOS lol)
She says I should JUst wean her.. she is draining me for all i got lol.. I feel like I should wean her too since she just plays with the milk and only has a small drink except for bed time when its longer
Sums gets hunks of my skin and pinches (ouch!) I yell out owwwww too and she just smiles at me :no:
dondons and c38 I watched that show too and that routine woman :hair: DP and I were going mental at her. Fancy her crapping on about the newborn (NEWBORN) being manipulative and leaving them outside for 3.5 hours that poor mother was not coping and those poor babies were crying their eyes out. I felt so sad for them but then they opted to put themselves through it, though hard not to feel sad for the bubs - they didn't opt for it.
She prized routine above all else ladies, even love and cuddles. She set out cuddle time for this poor mum - 10 minutes at 3pm or something. That was it. All other 'contact' time was only to be through feeding, changing or bathing them, so roughly 4 hours out of each day was the only touch these poor babies had with their parents.
Haha charlotte pinches me all the time.
And that chick is nuts. babies NEED love
I mean Ive put charlotte on a routine of when she has milk feeds or solids. But iM not a nazi about it, its more a guideline to try and stick to and she is better off for it, but If she needs a hug she gets it (or i do!)
Ive learnt quickly she responds alot better to love than the deprivation method.:banghead:poor babies. and mums.. kinda glad I didnt see it.
I went to gold coast to see mum. Didnt get to beach though.
Got a JAG dress reduced to $20 from $90. Just a casual smart dress. yay.
Oh better run she's into the cubbords
K8Y I almost sent my FB status to be "Aroha can't wait to see her DH tonight!" But luckily caught myself and said "husband" hahaha.
I'm really sorry about what is going on with your friends. And I agree with the others, from getting to know you on here and spending a few hours with you the other day, I think you're a great person and would be a great friend.
I think what happens is that people who don't have children write you off when you have a child, but not in a cruel or intentional way. You wouldn't believe how many people said to me in the first month "I was going to call you but didn't want to wake up the baby!" I think they assume we're preoccupied and busy 24/7 with the bub or kids, and I think its easier for them to go on with their childless lives. Maybe that's not the whole issue, but I bet its some of the issue. It is very difficult to understand the life of a parent until you are one. I know, I had friends who had kids before me and I didn't "get it" most of the time. But there has to be effort from both sides I guess.
I think now I am mostly rambling. My point was you're a great person, and its their loss for missing out on your friendship and the lovely little lady that is Summer!
I'm going shopping! I had a dream last night I got a full time job at Guess and got 80% off their handbags. :D
Hi all
Just catching up *** usual, seems I dont have much free time of late.
BB great re the weight loss, such willpower!
K8y, sorry re your friend letting you down.
Kotakai, hope you get more info with the next scan.
MOS and K8y, Miss C still cant crawl, just starting to sit up the last couple of days. She just rolls to where she wants to get to.
Babywez and STG - you would hate living where I live, no street lights, and very quiet. Nearest neighbour is about 50 metres away. I actually love being here by myself especially at night, as its so quiet and dark. Mind you I have Chloe, who's bark is very loud, she is also very big. Having said that she would probably lick a burglar to death...
C38, Gabe wont stop playing with it for the rest of his life, lol :laughing:
Flick, hope you have a better night with Kara.
Lambkin, wonderful news re the house, is it on realestate.com.au, so we can all get a look (hope I dont sound nosey, but I love house hunting)
We got Miss C a jolly jumper (suggested by CHN) as Miss C is not bearing any weight on her legs, I was quite shocked when the nurse suggested this, but Miss C loves it, will have to take a pic and post.
Got Auskick starting today, for 8 weeks for Miss A, goes from 4-5pm, then scoot over to Littl Athletics. Little As finishes in a couple of weeks, so then Friday arvos will be a bit more calm. Nippers has finished too, than goodness.
Sorry if I missed any one, just so much to catch up on.
Supermum, I hope you are ok honey, if you ever want to chat PM me, I too suffer from the A word, but crazily enough only with one aspect of my day to day life, but it becomes very debilitating.
What do you all reckon. The last coupleof days I have started getting pimples! Its like my body has decided I;m 14 again :p. I did get a few after I had DD2, do youthink it could be AF returning? Hmm interesting. I certainly dont miss it.... Plus last time I put on 2kg overnight when AF returned...
In the last week Hannah has learned how to clap, give hi 5s, get onto her knees, pull to standing and get herself into a sitting position. But she still doesnt crawl properly lol, she has been commando crawling from 7 months and doesnt look any closer to proper crawling. And she's not making any walking/stepping movements yet (THANK GOD). Completely different to how DD1 progressed. That is what I love about the small little creatures that are our babies, they are individuals, even at this young age. aww
I'm going shopping! I had a dream last night I got a full time job at Guess and got 80% off their handbags. :D
hahaha. I got a guess bag at myer stocktake for $70 ;) First designer bag
I had a dream last night I had to have a colonososcopy for some obscure reason - a problem with charlotte - not even me - I cant remember now what it was..
And I had to take 90 pills before the procedure, then just before I was to have the Op, my GP said I dont have to and its unneccarily cause Charli is healthy and its my choice anyway.
..... I think your dream was more exciting haha!

Ive had a few pimples the last week. Like really bad ones. Granted Im not far out of my teens, being 21, but ive never really got pimples much through my teens (having very dry skin)
So I wonder. Hey, Im happy AF is on holidays, one less thing to worry about. No husband, and no plans for another bub any time soon.
THough it would be nice. Just very recently. like a week ago I started getting very clucky to be pregnany again, and before last week it was the furtherest from my mind

Hi girls, OMG I've been watching that Bringing up Baby too - what is with that woman - how can someone who has no children know what is right for them. No cuddles or eye contact WTF! And you'd freeze your bits off being put outside for 3 and a half hours in the UK:no:
I believe in routine - it's what works for us - but she just takes the biscuit. Think I need to stop watching it cos she gets me so worked up.
Took DD swimming again yesterday - was very nervous after last weeks failed lesson. She screamed again for the first 15 minutes but then seemed to relax a bit, not sure she enjoyed it but didn't hate it. Weird cos she's been in our pool 3 times since last week and loved it. The class has 4 in it at the most and there was only 2 of us yesterday so it's not that the other babies are splasing or anything. Mmm we'll see..
MOS can't believe you ate that food. I remember going to my DP's dads for dinner and them cooking paella for everyone and they made me a special chicken salad (cos at the time I didn't eat seafood or rice and they are Spanish) felt a plonker but there was no way I could've eaten paella without throwing up :laughing:
That cake you made sounds so good. I'm only really interested in making desserts and as my DP doesn't really have a sweet tooth it usually means I have to eat it all - so I don't make it at all:D
DD slept 12 hours last night - didn't wake till 7.15am! Trouble was I was awake from 3.30 till 5 so didn't really get any extra sleep.
She's still not crawling either dondons, she goes backwards and drags herself up so that she's nearly standing on her own but that's about it. Still no teeth either.
Stg - yep I'm interested in when to reduce to 3 feeds too - tried it one day last week and she wasn't happy at all - think it's because she's not really into finger foods yet. Will ask CHN but not seeing her till the 13th.
Better go and get showered as we'll be off to Mothers Group when DD wakes up.
Talk later x

Lol....I used to think that perhapes my expectations were to high also....I think thats the sort of person & friend I am....my bestest friend has high expectations of friendship,my other bestie's wouldn't seem to worry as much...funny isn't.

lambkin- I love reading and keeping books as well,m but have to get rid of them otherwise would have too many. my friends sister runs a second hand online book store which has been great to try books I wouldn't normally buy.
I love reading too! What is your friends website. I would love to use it and get some more books.
He's found his willy:goodvibes:
(I was beginning to worry it had no nerve endings or something, when others were talking about the goings on of their boys...and he had never showed any interest:o)
Isn't it funny when they find their willy?
I have to tell you something funny that happened yesterday. Well it started with me losing my mobile (not so funny) I was on the phone with Telstra suspending my phone when I heard giggling. I look over and there is Kirilly pulling Michael's willy over and over. How do you tell her to stop when it's actually quite funny! (DH said afterwards that that would have hurt Michael. Well he didn't seem like he was crying to me). So after she stops he decides to do it as well. And that's how Michael found his willy!:yelclap:
Well its 1:30am and i have spent the last 3hrs rocking Kara, she just wont sleep (ive tried it all) and cries when i stop, guessing overtired now. If DF didnt have to start work early, or DSD didnt have school I think i would let her cry it out for a bit. sometimes 5min of crying then a feed and she out to it, but i dont want her waking everyone up.Im so tired.
You must be exhausted! A little trick I use when Michael can't sleep is I put one of my tops that I have worn recently in bed with him. He snuggles it and falls asleep straight away. Always works for me. So it might be worth a try.:hugs:
I'm going shopping! I had a dream last night I got a full time job at Guess and got 80% off their handbags. :D
Well I had a dream that we won $11Mil Lotto and DH and I were trying to decide whether to pay off our family's mortgages or buy a house... until I said "Duh! We won 11MILLION - We can do EVERYTHING!"... sad to report I checked today and we won nothing.... :no:
Daisy, I'm going to try that T Shirt thing shortly. Sam lasted in his cot until 3:40am so that was an improvement. He stirred at 12:15am but I settled him in the cot. He wouldn't settle without boob at 3:40 though.
Just got a call from the photo place and they're ready to be collected. Yay! :smiliedance:
DH home, gotta go. :wave:

:yelclap:Casey slept right through last night....well if he woke I didn't hear him :D 7pm till 6.30am :yes:
His teeth @ the top are taking forever to cut through :devil6:I can see things happening .....
Just finished some ironing....yes boring!
Easy dinner tonight a WW pizza.....
Going to the movies tomorrow night seeing Ghost
town looks funny...
Casey went down @ 1pm & is still asleep :)
Must go make Casey some chicken & veges :wave:
:smiliedance: way to go Casey!
I keep looking for the WW pizza's but I can't find them :hissy: Anyway DP out drinking with mates tonight. His best mates brother is going on an extended holiday to Germany to be with his GF so it's a bonvoyage p!ssfest apparently. I'm going to have either the WW chicken fried rice or the WW chicken hot pot.
That Ghost Town looks good. Gosh that guy (can't remember his name) is so good in The Office. Really cringeworthy stuff! Have fun.
MOS sounds like my kind of dream. Though at the rate you win things, I'm sure it's only a matter of time :thumbsup: BTW you haven't posted any of Samuel's professional pics yet. Are you able to get them on the computer??
Daisyboo love the willy story :laughing: Men and their willy's. I tell ya Tiggles is right! They never stop lol....
Bellaleggos, is there anything different about her swim lesson to your own pool? is it covered? or warmer? or does she wear something different? is it noisier?
dondons thats how I knew my AF was coming back. I sometimes get a few small dots around the chin area (hormonal) when I get mine and when those appeared I didn't click until AF actually arrived, then the spots made more sense!
tiggles, can't wait to see the jolly jumper pics. I love watching bubs in those! Did anyone see the 2 kidlets in them on Australia's Funniest Home Videos a few weeks back? there were 2 in one each in the same room and little miss was just bouncing around, but little mr bub must have wound his right up because he was just spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning lol :laughing:
What does everyone think of Emazon on the biggest loser??? I think she's very cool and those 2 young missy's certainly a good kick up the bum from her.
Her hardcore way seemed to make a lot of sense.
babywez did you go shopping? what did you buy? I like the sound of 80% off guess handbags. I need a new bag. My big tote is falling apart and my smaller guess bag just doesn't hold everything.
Well got my textbooks today (grrrrr) then sums and I ducked into said friends office to say hello and everything is fine between us so I guess it was good that I cleared the air rather then let my unhappiness about the situation fester.
Then we did some window shopping, got a few bits and pieces from Woolies and Big W, then came home.
Oh yes, Summer ate lunch today! Am so proud of her. I bought these great little spoons that the CC recommended to me and fed her at 11.30am before her bottle (usually give her bottle at this time then try lunch at 1pm but reversed it on the ladies at CC's recommendation) and she ate like a pro and ate it all. Was so impressed. It was in the big parents room too so she might have just been showing off for all the other bubs lol.. She didn't have as much of her bottle though later, but I guess that's what happens!
Sums napping now and DP home about an hour ago as they're starting their night early apparently and his mate is picking him up around 5pm.
babywez I meant to say that I agree with everything you said this morning but I read it this morning so I can't quote directly on your post :laughing:

lambkin- I love reading and keeping books as well,m but have to get rid of them otherwise would have too many. my friends sister runs a second hand online book store which has been great to try books I wouldn't normally buy.
Looking at some second hand ones now! So much easier to buy online - what is the name of her store if you don't mind me asking??
lamby - when is your wedding, must be the next week or so. Is everything under control?
TWO WEEKS FROM TOMORROW! OH MY GOD!!
I guess it only just occurred to me! I HOPE everything is under control. Maybe. Probably. Hopefully.
How is everyone going with the bf? Hannah is fluctuating between 3 and 4 feeds a day. She is still pretty inconsistent and is waking a bit at night, and needing a feed to get back to sleep. I'm happy to oblige, dont want to hear her cry... :o
Speaking of which, who has been watching 'Bringing up Baby' on ABC? The routine lady just makes me so mad! Dont look at baby you will relinquish the power, dont hold baby close when feeding, you dont want him to think feeding is fun...put baby down at 7pm and dont go back in til 7am, ...let them cry it out... these are newborns she is talking about!!! It makes me cross. Sorry if I offend anyone who's into this but I disagree with EVERYTHING she has said so far. What a cow :thumbsdown:.
She sounds like a w@nkstain.. although I haven't seen the program. Can't imagine I want to, though!
Sounds like your BF is goign about the same as mine and Elliot's! He is having maybe 3-4 feeds a day, but still feeding overnight as well. Think it's my tiredness.. I just kind of shove a boob in his mouth when he grumbles.. so maybe he would BF less if I was more adament about trying to get him to sleep without it through the night.
Gabriel has done two new things in the past few days....
Started babbling..."MMMMUM mumm muma, nan, nan,nan":D
AND...
drum roll
He's found his willy:goodvibes:
(I was beginning to worry it had no nerve endings or something, when others were talking about the goings on of their boys...and he had never showed any interest:o)
hhehe I am amused!
My sister and I are organising the last of my Mum's 50th present - we're giving her a swim with the dolphins at Seaworld on Sunday. So we're taking her down to the Spit for a champagne breakfast then surprising her. Hopefully she loves it :D Except we're going to have to leave here at 6am to make it down there to leave enough time for breakky before the swim... blegh.
That is really sweet! What an awesome pressie. :)
Lambkin, wonderful news re the house, is it on realestate.com.au, so we can all get a look (hope I dont sound nosey, but I love house hunting)
We got Miss C a jolly jumper (suggested by CHN) as Miss C is not bearing any weight on her legs, I was quite shocked when the nurse suggested this, but Miss C loves it, will have to take a pic and post.
That's great she is digging the Jolly Jumper! elliot loved it also. She'll be moving about in no time at all.
And you don't sound nosey at all! I love looking at houses as well. It is on realestate.com.au .. the property number is 104921100. There's no pics of the inside though! We kept seeing it listed and didn't bother cause we assumed it must be dodge if there were no inside pics, but it is awwwesome inside. HUGE bedrooms and ceilings. Just needs coat of paint on the outside and we're all set. Fingers crossed things go well tomrorow when we go for another look.
What do you all reckon. The last coupleof days I have started getting pimples! Its like my body has decided I;m 14 again :p. I did get a few after I had DD2, do youthink it could be AF returning? Hmm interesting. I certainly dont miss it.... Plus last time I put on 2kg overnight when AF returned...
Eek! Sounds like it to me. I always break out on my chin/jaw when AF is coming.
Well I had a dream that we won $11Mil Lotto and DH and I were trying to decide whether to pay off our family's mortgages or buy a house... until I said "Duh! We won 11MILLION - We can do EVERYTHING!"... sad to report I checked today and we won nothing.... :no:
Daisy, I'm going to try that T Shirt thing shortly. Sam lasted in his cot until 3:40am so that was an improvement. He stirred at 12:15am but I settled him in the cot. He wouldn't settle without boob at 3:40 though.
Just got a call from the photo place and they're ready to be collected. Yay! :smiliedance:
DH home, gotta go. :wave:
I wanna see the pics! Please upload them if you can
What does everyone think of Emazon on the biggest loser??? I think she's very cool and those 2 young missy's certainly a good kick up the bum from her.
Her hardcore way seemed to make a lot of sense.
Emazon is from the central coast and my friend and I used to see her ALL THE TIME in her huge Emazon car, strutting around. She is TERRRIFFFYING! Haven't been watching biggest loser (no bloody TV!!) but usually enjoy it. I actually applied to be on it just before I got pregnant with Elliot, and made it to the second round of auditions. Crazy. I was the smallest there by about 15 kgs, so I didn't think I'd have much of a shot. Plus I sounded like a total idiot cause they interview you in front of everyone and there's all these cameras etc etc and I was massively nervous. Scary stuff. Wonder what my life would be like now if I'd made it?? Ho hum.
Ooh DP home and looks like he bought dinner, bless

Have a good weekend if I don't get back on! x

I need to find a couple of websites where I can read more about who we're voting for Mar 21. I don't know much, ashamed to say. I'd like to make an educated vote. If anyone has any good sites/info, please post!
DH is in the cab on his way home, finally! YAY! Nicklas was a right sh1t tonight. He was great the last 2 nights, calmed down, went to sleep. Its almost like he was trying to stay awake for daddy to get home, but he's finally given in to the all mighty boob and he's asleep beside me. Not before he played with my shoes, crawled under DH's clothes, etc.
Yay for the weekend!

Lambkin - 2 weeks!!! My gosh!!! How exciting :yelclap:

Babywez - so happy for your DH is home - yay! You can sleep well tonight!
Khirra's started walking behind her walker by herself :eek: She just seems to her found her balance a bit more the past couple of days. Will get some video of it when I download some pics from the camera... memory card is full atm.
sorry girls tired off too bed!
HI All
:hugs:Again Tiggles. I posted on your other thread <text deleted by mod>
Glad your friend has come round K8Y..
Daisy Boo, that is hilarious about Michael.. One to tell at the 21st..and hers ...for sure:p
LAMBIEEEEEEEEE..OMG 2 weeks!!! I don't even have my plane ticket... hang on... I dont even have MY invite...:laughing:
Did you get all your RSVPS?
Stg she may have a bit of an upset tummy, a mild gastro or just had too much sugar/lactose... has she had a lot of dairy in the last few days??
I've been a bit of a slacko mummy todayEnded up taking him to tha lacal shopping centre as I just wasnt in the mood to chase him round. I wwas longer then I thought..trying on clothes, as I have nothing decent to ear in Moebourne, but just felt like a fat frump in them all... Ended up giving him some raison bread for lunch as it was the most suitbale thing atthe bakery. I brought some mini custard tarts for afternoon tea as my brother is painting my house nad had a friend here setting up scaffolding... My brother was gone when I got back so I opened the tarts,,,,G had a tizzy fit as Id put him to bed and he was overtired...so had him on my lap. He grabbed my hand with boht his and rammed the tart in...nearly lost my finger trying to get some out... So there you go ..his first JUNK food:o. Naughty me ended up eating them all .. so now will be even fatter and frumpier:D
The last few nights he's been a pill again to get to sleep, Ive been in and out and had him up and down like a yo yo. Tonight I ended up just sitting there with my hand on his chest waiting for the sreaming to stop..he eventually drifted off... hopefully will stay that way. I hate it how when he;s ben crying he still kind of sobs inhis sleep for ages as well:( He's ended up in my bed from about 2am the last three nights, and now I think he thinks that how he should sleep always!! I'd love to co sleep but it stuffs up my back and neck, and also my bed is really high with a wooden floor....
Someone asked re the breast feeding. I dont think hes feeding any less. Though he definatly doesn't feed as long during the day, and mucks around for some feeds. If anything hes feeding more at night, but I wonder if thats to catch up on teh distracted feeds during the day. Gee the way he eats and drinks he SHOULD be a lifter.. but he's only just 7.1kg. I cant believe he will be 8months in a couple of weeks... and thatall the rest of the bubs will be 9 months, that seems SO grown up...where did that time go??
Oh Ems, I wish Nick had got your memo about sleeping well tonight.
He went to sleep about 7:30, woke up at 10:30, 1:00, 2:30 and we've been awake ever since. DH has been in his room with him the last 15 or 20 minutes (seems like 3 hours) with him in his cot and Nick is still screaming. It is not going well at all. Think I am going to call the clinic this week and ask for help. I don't know if its teeth, I put bonjela on his gums, fed him, rocked him...he was just wide awake like it was play time. I have never been so tired in all my life. And now that I've been up for so long I am starving. Poor DH has to work in less than 4 hours and he couldn't have gotten more than 4 hours sleep so far tonight. Nick's in tears, I've been in tears. DH told me to go back to bed and close the door, but I couldn't. So I'm in the next room hoping DH gets him off to sleep. What a disaster. And we are wanting another one? HA. Not on nights like these.

DH let me have a sleep in but my back gets sore if I dont get up & start moving.
Anyway im off to do grocery shopping early this morning & have a browse around the shops....

tiggles thats really bad news :no::hugs:
babywez :sleeping: you poor thing. I hope the clinic can offer some help? Does he sleep much during the day? He doesn't get reflux does he?
BB friend has a 'ladies tea' thing on tomorrow at her house so I might leave story until after that to see what happens.
Sorry no more personals feel a bit bleary.
Didn't get to sleep till midnight, watching some late night movie with DP out. Then through the bubs monitor I heard some freakish sound, like something of that advertised movie of late 'the unborn' so I was freaked and couldn't get to sleep. Woke up at 2.30am and DP not home. Said he was going to have early night so I was p!ssed off which didn't help me back to sleep and DP got home at 4am so I finally drifted off after that, then sums woke up for bottle at 6am, then straight back to bed for her, then my alarm went off at 8am for her swimming lesson. I have a bub that sleeps through and still can't get a decent night :laughing:
I can't complain really :o I should get more early nights....
Today am thinking of going to see if DP wants to take sums and I on a picnic. Southbank might be a bit busy but maybe Wellington Point. They have good paddle water and lovely picnic spots.

Big :hugs: to Tiggles - I've posted on the other thread and think the girls before me summed it up about a certain person making very inappropriate comments:(
Well we've been out for our walk with the dog and now DD is back in bed. Have to go grocery shopping :thumbsdown:when she wakes up. I so hate shopping for food!
No more personals cos I can't remember anything anyone said:o sorry!
Hi all!
Wow, heaps to catch up on as always, lets see....
Ems - Yay for Khirra standing by herself!And in your next post, yay for her walking with her walker!:yelclap:Sounds like she is now quite the lady, and not so much a bubba!
MOS - love the sound of the dessert you made! I wish I could be bothered to do such things myself! Mind you, Id wind up eating it all myself, so its probably a good thing I dont bake!
C38 - yay for G and his willy discovery! Liam ALWAYS checks to make sure his is still there. Need to be very vigilant now when changing his pooey nappies that hes all wiped and clean BEFORE he goes for the grope!
Bela - yay for DD sleeping 12 hours!:yelclap:Can she please teach Liam how to do that! Also, isnt it frustrating when you wake up in the middle of the night and cant get back to sleep, when bubs is asleep!:rolleyes:
BB - yay for Casey sleeping through as well! He is also welcome to teach Liam how to do it!
Tiggles - Sorry to hear your news. Its a really sh!tty deal:hugs:Hopefully theres something even better around the corner.
Stg - Liams had runny green poos recently too. He doesnt seem like hes in pain or anything. Im not sure what it is either, although Ive introduced weetbix and baby porridge to his diet. :confused:
Babywez - sorry to hear about your rough night with Nick! Maybe your clinic will have a few suggestions for you to try. We all know how frustrating and exhausting it can be:hugs:
Not much planned for today. Might do some more vegie purees. Also bought a box of alphabet pasta shapes to add to the vegies. I wish I could get Liam a bit more interested in finger food - he hates the feel of toast! DH is going to the Melbourne Victory game tonight, so I might get a DVD, or might just have an early one with my book!
Have a great weekend all, and take care

Not on nights like these.
Babywez, sorry to hear of your cr@ppy night. I hope the clinic can do something to help. I had a little break down yesterday arvo. When DH came home from work I sat down with him for al of 2 mins and since Sam was asleep on our bed, I had our door open so I could see him and the phone RIGHT OUTSIDE the bedroom rang and woke him up. He wouldn't go back down again and since I was BF him trying to get him to sleep, silly thing was vomiting it back up again as he was obviously not hungry but I just didn't know what else to do. In the end, he went back into his cot to cry for a little while I laid on the floor next to his cot and cried myself.
I then told DH of all the frustrating things that had happened through the day: His mum did Sam's washing (yes I know, not all that nasty but I'd asked her TWICE to PLEASE leave it for me)... I realised once she'd done it that it makes me really depressed when I don't feel needed or when I feel like I'm not taking care of my family myself. It makes me feel like I'm not capable of doing anything for myself and I get sort of depressed over it. I know it sounds dumb but that's how it is... I was woken early by the nephews playing outside here before school then their mum calling asking me to get the FIL to drop them and the nieces from down the road, at school. Then she called AGAIN asking me to look into how to get a SIM card for her son, then called in the arvo asking DH and I to drive our car to pick up her car from being serviced... so when the phone woke Sam up I just lost it. The other SIL also asked me to pick up 2 of the kids on Tues and Thurs for a very long time - I am to share it with the FIL. She said Tues should be OK but Thurs I will most likely have to pick them up from school... at which I felt sad as that's my walking day and I tend to stay out as long as possible. I am just sick of people asking for favours. I normally avoid them - very selfish I know. I get the feeling people assume I'm sitting around doing sweet FA since I don't work. Speaking of which, the MIL finally dusted this morning so I vacuumed the house and I tried to mop but she told me she wanted to do it, so I left it. DH worked but was sent home after 4 hours as a casual, so we've had a day together.
Sounds like your BF is goign about the same as mine and Elliot's! He is having maybe 3-4 feeds a day, but still feeding overnight as well. Think it's my tiredness.. I just kind of shove a boob in his mouth when he grumbles.. so maybe he would BF less if I was more adament about trying to get him to sleep without it through the night.
Lambkin, I was doing the same thing and the last few nights I've tried to wake up enough to settle him in his cot without picking him up. Last night I put one of my tops in with him and when I put it in front of him as he was crying, he grabbed it and put it under his head and went to sleep again! Most of the time though he settles again until around 3:30-4am at which point nothing but boob will settle him an he SCOFFS it frantically - very cute!
Havent had time to catch up yet, some bad news today for us....

DH and I went out for lunch and he wanted to come back home and "relax" so I made a point of not entertaining Sam and I let him annoy DH then told him there's no such thing as "relaxing at home" with him! It was funny. Sam likes water bottles so DH would put it right next to me and then Sam would move towards me to play with it then I'd put it back near DH and he'd go over there... quite funny.
When I was doing my assignment yesterday I saw a pair of shoes I fell in love with... for $70. I got paid $69 for my assignment so I didn't get them. Am regretting it now. They were really cute... :crying:
I picked up the photos today and I got some copies done in KMart to send OS. I've also took pics of the pics so I can upload them to FB so will get onto doing that shortly.
:hugs: tiggles what a lousy thing to have to go through. i cant believe they can get away with that its so unfair
thanks don dons and tiggles for asking after me other day, im ok. had a bit of a tough week with anxiety, ended up drinking myself happy on thurs:o, not really an ideal solution tho lol.
dylan actually sleeping really well this week:yes:, even slept through a few nights i really hope he is turning a corner now and this is going to be the new routine
k8y:hugs:, i too sometimes expect a lot from my friends and i dont really have a lot of good friends anymore:o as im too unforgiving. suppose i am happier with just a few really good friends that i love and trust than having lots of friends who are just too much work as i did when i was younger and my life was full of drama. glad u sorted things out though
um read too many pages at once and now ive forgotten everything back again soon
stg ds1 always got the runs when teething as a bub though i dont remember green?
k8y dylan has only just started crawling and he is over 4 weeks older than sums, i wouldnt worry just enjoy your peace:D. dylan doesnt crawl properly though, imagine someone doing butterfly swim as a crawl if u can:laughing:. both arms at once then does a little push of with his toes both together. he gets all around the house like that though
Just a quick one as I have to get ready and go to tennis. Last night was really, really tough, but we all just had a 45-60 minute nap, so hopefully that will help. I was most worried about DH as he had to work 8-12 today, after getting home from Syd at 8 last night, then getting very little sleep. But we all seem to have survived.
Now I can hear idiots at the pool, sounds like they no sooner jump in than they get out and jump back in. The pool loses water easily, and since we're the only "owners" (mum owns it) we were nominated by the BC to be the ones to fill it up when its low (or it can't get cleaned on Thurs). Frustrating. Even more so with lack of sleep! I want to yell at them. But then I'd just be the old b1tch of a spoil sport!
GTG more later. K8Y I hope the tea at your friends place goes well tomorrow, but am still kind of interested to hear what happened!
2 weeks Lambkin! How exciting! Can't wait to see pics!
flick82 yay! congrats on the ttc!:babydust2:
and ems how exciting on the soon to be ttc!lol
c38 i wish my boys would unfind their willys:rolleyes:

bella dylan does a private lesson for his swim lesson as our swim school doesnt believe in mumand bubs, he likes it mostly cuddles up with his teacher but when they go past the middle of the pool where i am sitting he starts to cry cause he can see me
my diet is not going so great this week:o
gosh all this chatter im still catching up
oooh yes i want the book website too
c38 uve done well not giving any junkfood till now:yelclap:. dylan gets the occassional choc chip biscuit:o
mos people who constantly ask favours bug me too. my mum does it a lot but she NEVER returns a favour . now i just always say no to her out of principle, bad daughter i am:shame:
ok im done hope everyone is having a good weekend and sorry if i missed u
Hi Everyone
Many thanks to everyone re all your kind words, it certainly made me feel much happier.
Im a believer in fate, so this has happened for a reason. We are so much luckier than others as DH has 12 months of redeployment before losing employment.
He has a meeting on Monday with the Director re what positions may be available, but we have no idea if he keeps his current salary, and lovely company car (we were hoping to buy this car in July when the company lease was up, Holden no longer make them, so it will be worth a few $$ in future years).
MOS - sorry you had a sh!!ty day.
Lambkin - house looks lovely, I LOVE older homes, and Pittown has a country feel but still close to Windsor.
Sorry no other personals today, bit muddy headed.
Love to you all xx
BTW, couldnt believe that nasty post in my thread, hope Karma bites her on the bum! lol.

Will be back to chat - Khirra's just started to crack it...
ems - great videos!! Love how your DP/DH (Im being politically correct not assuming, lol) calls her Stinky! I too often call Miss C Stinky as she hasnt got a nick name yet, although DH calls her Trouble affectionately.
D and Miss A are off in the canoe, whilst Im making tea, Thai Chicken salad.
I bought a great book yesterday, called "i before e, except after c", it has all the old fashioned ways we were taught to remember stuff at school, that they seem not to teach anymore. Ordered another book like it called "My Grammar and I, or should that be me", as Im sure very little grammar is taught either. If anyone is a teacher please correct me if Im wrong. Anyway, thought both books would be great tools for the girls if they need them.
Have been thinking how amazed I was by being touched by the kind thoughts of people I know but have never met...again I say thanks.
tiggles thats good your DH gets 12 months. I'm sure there is something even better around the corner for him :yes:
MOS what a cr@p day :hugs: Sounds like you are being used. Your SIL sounds very selfish and is abusing your generosity.
Hahaha about your DH wanting to relax at home lol...
ems those videos are amazing. Khirra is just learning everything at top speed :eek: So chuffed with herself. What did your DP call her, stinky?? lol (I didn't quite catch that!). Your DP is quite a looker ;)
babywez I really hope you all get a good sleep tonight. Does your DH have to work tomorrow??
lambkin 2 weeks!!!! funny too I never got my invite either :confused: probably won't be able to make it now on such short notice too :laughing:
I'm going to start a new post so I can keep emoticoning....

There was our lunch/drinks and Sums lunch/drinks to make and pack, toys, rugs, towels, swimmers for her/us, clothes, sunscreen, swim nappies, newspapers/magazines, hats, camera, wraps, plates etc. I was exhausted before we left lol!
We had a lovely time though. Picnic was fun and so many people. Sums played while we read papers/mags and people watched, swam and then we went for a ferry ride up and down the river which was nice and relaxing.
Home and unpacked now and buggered :sleeping:
I made DP do all that on 4 hours sleep lol (sucked in I reckon).
I've got that tea tomorrow and am taking Sums (just as an excuse for an easy getaway if needed lol) so DP will have a nice quiet time for himself then anyway.
Sums cracking it in cot (trying to get to sleep), best go.
Yes k8y, I too thought he was a bit of eye candy! :yes:
MOS - sorry you had a sh!!ty day.
:hugs: My day was nothing compared to yours. I feel bad now whinging... :(
I bought a great book yesterday, called "i before e, except after c", it has all the old fashioned ways we were taught to remember stuff at school, that they seem not to teach anymore. Ordered another book like it called "My Grammar and I, or should that be me", as Im sure very little grammar is taught either. If anyone is a teacher please correct me if Im wrong. Anyway, thought both books would be great tools for the girls if they need them.
Wow those books sound good. I have thought the same thing and have heard others comment too. I think there's less emphasis these days on spelling and grammar and it's one of my pet peeves - people that can't spell!
Has anyone done the coverstar vote yet? Can you vote for your own bub
Not yet but I bought the mag... and FORGOT TO GET A RECEIPT AGAIN! :hair: Gggggrrr!!! Will let you know once I've voted and read terms, etc. I'm definitely going to vote for our bubs as my other two votes (if we can vote for our own!) but won't say whose since I won't have enough votes for all of them. Don't know how I'll chose either as they're all soooo cute. :goodvibes:
Yes k8y, I too thought he was a bit of eye candy! :yes:
lol. I just went back and had a lookie! lol... and yes, nice catch ems! :thumbsup:
IL's are out at the club as they didn't get to go last night due to the 18th. So yay, house to ourselves. Going to watch Boot Men as borrowed frommy walking buddy about a month ago and still not watched it yet.
Going out with friend tomorrow and hopefully popping back to get those shoes I can't get my mind off on the way! lol
Lambee, I too waiting on an invite....:laughing:
Wishing you the best day!
Sums slept late so only just having her bath.
Quick post now as supposed to be in shower. DP got red rooster for his dinner as I too tired to cook (I had a WW meal), so he got a movie while he was out - Body of Lies with DiCaprio and Crowe. Looks interesting. Will let you all know if it's any good. We're going to lay in bed and snuggle and watch it :goodvibes:
Goodnight ladies :wave:

Got a funny tummy.. probably TMI for you guys so ill spare you but yeah.. not too sure whats going on.
STILL car searching.. cant find exactly what im looking for in my price range

:laughing: I won't tell DP I'm not the only one who thinks he's a bit of alright - he'll think he has options :p
And as for 'Stinky', I'm not sure the poor kid has ever been called 'Khirra' by her Dad, lol... here's the usual list:
Stinky / Stinker / Stinky Winky
Fluffy (referring to her flatuence, lol)
Midget / Midgie
Or the originals... Nugget / Nuggsie
:rolleyes:
Okie doke... personals...
Babywez - Sorry for the horrible night... times it's great to be a Mum, huh?
K8y - I can never sleep when DP is out on drinking nights.... love your sweet, subtle revenge though :D
MOS - I think in a situation like yours, I would just find tiny little things would drive me nuts. I'd just want my own space and to do my own thing with my child without having someone step in, or watch, or whatever. I even get irky with Mum from time to time when she offers Khirra food in between meals; I'll have just given her lunch then she'll offer her something else... "Mum, I do feed her, she's okay" :rolleyes: Anyway, after that tangant, I'm trying to say I totally get it.... you will be out of there one day!!! Visualise!!! lol :hugs: Those pics of Sam are just perfect - must have been so hard to choose!
SMo3 - Yay for Dylan sleeping better - I'm tapping on wood now so I don't jinx it for you!
Kyles - Hope you had a nice lazy day!
Hey to everyone else! Sorry if I've missed you!
Well, better go finish packing everything for the dolphin swim tomorrow... not looking forward to leaving at 6am!
:laughing::laughing: stinky
dylan has a bit of a list of nick names too but its mostly me who uses them, he has
chub chub
cheeky boy
cheeky bum
little Locke ( his surname and he is the littlest Locke so..)
dyl
tiggles so that will u mean our dh gets some level of pay then at least? is that what that means?
very cute mos and ems
yeah i need to do some vid of dylan but i dont have a vid recorder:crying:. i can take video on my camera though so ill try and work it out tomoz
stg could u and charli have the same tummy prob? something u guys ate or a bug?
cant believe how keen to go khirra is ems, she is a busy little bee:yelclap:. dylan is far to lazy to make any attempts at even standing yet:laughing:. think he has learnt quickly that having much older siblings has its advantages, he barely has to whinge and they are playing with him, getting him stuff and dd even picks him up
Well, I'm pleased to report that last night was MUCH better than the one before! He went down about 7:15, and woke up at 4:30! Had a feed and went back to sleep until 6:30!! :smiliedance::smiliedance::smiliedance:
DH and I were in bed, trying to sleep at 7:50 last night, a new low, even for us. Probably fell asleep w/in 15 minutes. But of course I woke up about 4 times in between then and 4:30, wondering if Nick was ok!
In any case, feel a bit better this morning than I did yesterday morning!
Meeting my PG friend for morning tea this am. Looking forward to seeing her - haven't seen her since her announcement, so she must be about 4 months by now. She's a little thing like you MOS, so will be interesting to see if she's showing at all yet.
Has anyone voted for the baby coverstar thing yet? The rules say voters have to have proof of purchase. I just bought the mag yesterday, and the receipt doesn't even have the mag name on it, and its for two magazines, so its not for the right price or anything. I would think having the mag should be enough proof. And why would voters need proof? In case they win one of the prizes? I think its kind of a dumb set up, but anyway, will go cast my votes today! How much is it worth? I'll vote for the highest bidder ;) :laughing::laughing:
:yelclap: for the good nights sleep babywez
what page is nick on? dont think i recognised him?
in fact the only bubs from our group that i was sure i recognised was summer(k8y), sam(mos) and hunter(kelectable) i thought i saw charli(stg) too but i wasnt sure. so what page is everyones bubs on ? i want to vote for our bus too.
Nicklas is on page 49, in a blue bucket! Wish I had waited to submit a pic now. I submitted that back in early Jan! You can't see his gorgeous blue eyes :no: Oh well. It will be interesting to see if the baby who wins really is cute or if someone out there has gone and bought issues for all their friends and family and made them go vote :laughing: There are a LOT of cute babies entered.
I thought you'd have to give 25 words or less for each of your votes, but you only have to give 25 words or less for why the 3 you're voting for should win. Its all very bizarre!

oh I want to vote too!! How do I do that girls???
Casey woke @ 12.30 last night(teeth) so I gave 150ml as he wouldn't settle he holds it himself so I gave it to him then he fell straight back to sleep till after 6am :yelclap:I know its his top teeth as they are coming through.....very slowly.......
Going to SIL's for a dinner BBQ tonight,so I made a low fat(WW style) cheesecake....peach & mango...hope it's ok.
But will go over points today,not hard at BBQ's as I want to try some of the yummy salads the family is making.
Casey only catnaps in the morning....I can hear him now....:cool: put him down @ 8.45am.....
But he has 2/3 arvo nap....which is fantastic but he can get quite crabby by 11.30/12pm as he is getting tired so I give him lunch around 12pm then try hold off from putting him down till 1pm(or close to it) if he goes down to early he will so buggered by his dinner time etc......
Its almost like he then needs 3 sleeps....a late arvo nap which we have done but then he wont go down @ 7pm.....but hey everyday is different sometimes he has a 2hour morning sleep....so it can change day by day....
Both boys are going to Nanas on Thurs & Fri(as I fly out to perth :smiliedance:)
Thurs I get my Hair done then off to get nails,eye lash tint & eye brow wax.....
MIL is really good with boys but she will have her hands full with both......:D
She said write down Casey's routine which I will,but like I was saying above it changes...sometimes he wants a mid morning bottle other times he doesn't(same goes with arvo).....but as his Mummy I just know.....IFYKWIM....if hes grizzly because hes tired or if its b/c hes hungry.......shes had 3 kids she'll be right! Hahahaha
Im so excited about going to Perth on Friday........Kid free for 5days!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will miss them like crazy though:goodvibes:
C38 or anyone.......how much milk or calcuim does a 9month old bub need (require a day)
As I worry that I dont give Casey enough milk(hes a chubby bub so def not starving him) but hes having yogurt now so would like to know if I can cut out one more bottle so say 3 bottles a day...he has 250ml when he wakes then 250ml before Bedtime & like I said If he wants it he will take 150ml at 11am(ish) but sometimes he does other times he's not interested so I get sick of wasting it.....yest I didn't give him a arvo bottle just dinner......
So is 500ml of formula enough(maybe up to 300ml more)if he wants it....its not is it?(500mls im talking about)
+ giving a tub of yogurt a day....
He is over 10kg....:p
Ok must dash have a shower.........
Have a great day I had all these personals to do & now I have babbled too much I have to go...Hahaha
So will catch up on that later.....
Bye

Yeah I dont like the whole offering foods. Then Its like im depriving her and being a strict nazi when I dont oblige.. well they imply that lol
I love the nicknames girls
Charlotte rarely gets Charli. Not by me anyways.. just hasnt stuck.. not sure why.
I call her
-Chicken
-Bumble bee
or
-cheeky bum (ble bee)
what are some other nicknames?
Hmm I wanna leave her with my grandmother this week but im just.. reluctant. I wish I could write out a routine and she would stick to it but I dont see her doing that... I dunno I have to let go, and learn to leave her but I just hate her routine disrupted or her not getting her naps.. I dunno

Hi guys just a quick hi and bye form me! we are off to the airport in 2 hours getting so excited but more just nervous!
Babywez i will document everything that worked and everything that didn't for you to have a look at. I think i am goingot give phenergan though, talked to the doctor and pharmacist about it and think its best because she has not been sleeping much lately. gave it a trial the night before last and 10 whole hours!!!
Also thanks for all the suggestions i think i have everything and the little things i can just buy over there, K8y if you think packing for a picnic is hard wait till you go overseas!! so much stress over what to put in carry on etc plus i think i will have a mountain of left over food but wouuld rather be safe than sorry.
Ems khirra is doing great with her walking! She is very advanced but i am sure you get that a lot.
Babywez i am glad Nick slept for you last night, its always so tough when they wake every few hours.
Stg you don't HAVE to let her go, only do it if its something you want, i try to only leave Q when she is asleep because i just don't like the thought of her relying on other people. she still needs me too much and i am ok with that.
with nicknames Q gets
Quinny
Quinikins
and Quincent (from DP)
Weird names that came from nowhere!
ok sorry for everyone i missed, i hope all the babies are doing well. i will try to catch up if i have time on holidays! lambkin hope your wedding goes smoothly!!
Well I worked out the prob with Kara, 2 teeth broke thru, and she has a green runny nose, a cough and a slight temp. I think its a sore thoat because she wants to eat but cries when she does (still having lots of BF tho), have a docs appointment mon. but she slept pretty well last night, only waking up once.
stg, I was a single mum when i had Halie and i oly left her when she was asleep so no one could mess with my routine and i didnt have to worry about noone not listening about what i wanted done with her. Unlike Kara, she slept thru from 10wks, so i could put her down between 6 & 7 and could still make late night shopping or visit a friend and she wouldnt realise i was gone. I felt less bad about leaving her.
Ems, :yelclap: for the walking, the videos are cute.
Babywez, im so glad that Nick slept thru to. Even that 4-5hr block of sleep makes you feel better.
Nicknames Kara gets are -
chicka bub
cheeky chicken
Not much going on here today, we were going to go to the markets but DF went to buy some smokes and put petrol in the car about 2hrs ago and he still isnt back yet. Must go call him.
Stg you don't HAVE to let her go, only do it if its something you want, i try to only leave Q when she is asleep because i just don't like the thought of her relying on other people. she still needs me too much and i am ok with that.
I know I dont have to.. I want to leave her though as I need timeout... but I just want her routine stuck to.
Flick - hope your DP has a better excuse than "there was a long line for petrol" and on a serious note, hope he's ok!
Nicklas gets Nick, Nicky, cheeky monkey or gorgeous. Whenever I say "Hello gooorgeous" to him he gets a big smile and goes all shy.
Have a GREAT trip MBQ! I might make a dr appointment and enquire about the phenergen. Do you need a script for that? I have a friend whose hubby is a pharmacist, just haven't spoken to them for a while, and don't want to say "Hi how are you? Can I get some phenergen?"
BeautifulBoys

Have a great trip MBQ :wave:Take care :goodvibes:
Stg...Hope your feeling better.......yes I agree maybe its a bug getting passed around...Time out is always good,go catch a movie, go get a massgae/facial do something just for YOU :hugs:
Goodluck finding some wheels....
K8y I agree its a mission to go out anywhere when you have a baby....just wait until you have 2 :laughing: phew wee! Everything but the kitchen sink is packed.....I now have a bag that I just grab & it always has the essentials...Hope you have a lovley day with your friends...
SMO3 how's the WW going? we all have our off days but thats whats so great about WW you just start again the next day....Dylan is such a cutie pie!
MOS love the photos of Sam.......you look fab :thumbsup: one HOT mummy.....I can only imagine how frustrating it must be living with your IL's.....sounds like your MIL is very traditional & set in her ways :hugs:Im guessing its been a huge adjustment for them aswell.....but you do live there now so its your home too,therefore your voice should be heard.
Flick - hope your DP has a better excuse than "there was a long line for petrol" and on a serious note, hope he's ok!
:laughing::laughing: He is fine, he said a friend called while he was getting petrol and asked him to come around to give DF the money he owes him.
We ended up going to the petrie markets at old petrie town. It was so hot that we sat in the museum the aircon was great lol. it was interesting to.
for the good nights sleep babywez
what page is nick on? dont think i recognised him?

Sam's on page 14 right hand side in his bright coloured high chair.
Nicklas is on page 49, in a blue bucket! Wish I had waited to submit a pic now. I submitted that back in early Jan! You can't see his gorgeous blue eyes Oh well. It will be interesting to see if the baby who wins really is cute or if someone out there has gone and bought issues for all their friends and family and made them go vote There are a LOT of cute babies entered.

It's all wierd. I didn't get a receipt with mine but I think I'll end up with a receipt for SOMETHING from the newsagency soon and it will look the same. My receipt for the last edition just said "magazine"... stupid really.
Yeah I dont like the whole offering foods. Then Its like im depriving her and being a strict nazi when I dont oblige.. well they imply that lol............
Hmm I wanna leave her with my grandmother this week but im just.. reluctant. I wish I could write out a routine and she would stick to it but I dont see her doing that... I dunno I have to let go, and learn to leave her but I just hate her routine disrupted or her not getting her naps.. I dunno
I hate people offering foods too. The other night Sam really impressed me though - it was quite funny really! I gave him to the MIL and he'd been enjoying the same peice of celery (given to him by DH, no worries) for an hour and a half already. So the MIL sits down next to the SIL's MIL (still with me?!) who automatically gives him a piece of carrot. She's done this before and when I said "no thank you" she asked why not and I told her that he doesn't need to be fed ALL THE TIME. So anyway, Sam rejected the carrot, pushed it away and she forced it into his hand. I watched from a distance as she pushed it to his mouth and he kept on pushing it back. He started crying so I went over to take him and the MIL said to me "he doesn't want to go to you", so I turned to walk away and Sam screamed for me and put his arms out. I just smiled and took him. As soon as he got into my arms, he threw the carrot at the old lady! Then the MIL tried to give him another piece of celery which he pushed away... ahhh my boy! Everything they do is around FOOD. :hair: Anyway he made me proud. And he was offered food on soooo many occasions that night. So annoying since I had his dinner and he had his milk. Why do people feel the need to fill him up on snacks? :rolleyes:
And stg, I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to leave her, etc. I had a talk with DH in the car on the way home today about me working (yes, AGAIN). I told him when Sam stops feeding in the middle of the day I might do 4 hours a day for my old boss. Then I said I cringed at the thought of the MIL feeding him for the whole 4 hours, giving him raw meat, liver (she thinks it's all good for them), lollies (so they love her), milk (she thinks anything is fine for them and doesn't stick to the rules of over 2 months, etc as I'd like to). DH told me I'd need to sit her down and talk to her beforehand so I told him if she can't listen to me when I tell her to leave one load of washing for me to do, what makes him think she'll listen to me when it comes to my son's nutrition, which she reckons she knows more about than I do? Gggrrr... Just made me angry. Then he started on about me doing something from home, etc, etc... Asked if I'd looked "properly", etc... yes I have and still do. Anyway we both got annoyed... as always. :rolleyes:
On a brighter note, Sam had a wonderful night's sleep last night. I put him down at around 9pm and he moved down the cot to where there was no bumper, rolled over and hit his head, woke up but settled again in the cot quickly. Then he slept until 6am! :eek: Wohoo! :smiliedance: Let's go for a repeat performance tonight. :fingerscrossed:
mos u might be better off considering amily daycare if u wanna work? at least u know they are feed nutritious food at intervals not all day long. and family day care suits a young bub i think cause they feel secure with the same lady each time. sound like an ad for family day care dont i?:laughing: funny thing is ive actually only ever used centrebased care but i have a few friends now who actually are family day carers and my view has changed a bit especially for younger bubs
bb ive had a dodge week:o havent been counting points but i know im going over and even worse im about to eat pizza for dinner! real dominos pizza not ww pizza:o. start again tomoz as diets can only be started on mondays at the beginning of a fresh week:D. the alcohol is whats the problem i like to have a few beers on weekends ok maybe sometimes its even more like ten beers on a sunday arvo:o which is like 15 points leaving me only 5 for the whole day of food. really i need to save a point each day thru the week to accommodate my sunday binge drink
babywez phenergan is over the counter but they often keep it behind the counter so u have to actually ask for it and they can suss u out iykwim?
my babyq have an awesome time!!!!!!!!!

Quick Question (QQ for next time):
What thermometer does everyone use and is it any good?
Ours is a digital Tommy Tippee and it's useless.
I just took my own temperature with it twice (under arm) and it recorded 35.2 then 35.5. Really, I'm not that cold :D
I think Sums isn't well and want to take her temp. I am going to buy a new one tomorrow and am willing to spend a decent amount to get something accurate as I know it will last.
Help ladies!
Will come back for personals later tonight as Sums just woke for her dinner and I'm in the middle of doing my uni reading for lectures tomorrow :rolleyes:

SMO3, I'm enjoying a beer right now! :D I just learned that if you put it into a glass it goes down MUCH faster! ;) The only problem is the GOOD beer is in our fridge which is in the garage... so I'm having a VB. Not too bad but nothing like a Blonde or Tooheys X Dry... :no:
And FDC is great, my SIL used to do it and it's something I think I'd love to do once I'm in my own home. Everyone would FREAK OUT though if I did that now with the MIL at home 24/7. They wouldn't see the point. There was a HUGE up-roar when DH's SIL put her 2 boys into after school care even though she was here. The thing is that she was watching them after school but would always whinge about how she never get anything done. Then when the SIL put them into care, she made a huge deal out of it, so the SIL told her that she always felt bad since she was always complaining she had no time to clean, etc. That shut her up! Now they're shared around between care, here and the other SIL's place.
I'm going to really keep searching and maybe send out a few Emails to people I know asking if they hear of anything from home, to let me know. Otherwise, I might look into some late night work a few nights a week, maybe. Oh no, not good as he FEEDS then! Best time would be in the middle of the day. He's been bringing up most of his midday feed these last few days, so I'm going to try giving solids at that time instead. If he has solids then instead of later, I could be away from him from around 9am to about 4pm. I could maybe do 10-2 or 11-3 a few days a week. I don't like leaving him with the MIL though. GGrrr! The ONLY reason I want to go to work is to get out of here quicker, so need some $$$. Will keep looking for work from home for now.
Yay for the brothers on the Biggest Loser. I'm so glad they're still in. :smiliedance:
Nothing in the cupboards so I'm having pistachios for dinner. Not good, eh? The beer's going down nicely though.
Quick Question (QQ for next time):

We have a Medi Spot but I too am apparently a chilly 35.8degrees... :confused:

I use a No touch Digital thermometer, i bought it from the parent and babies expo 2yrs ago, its excellent. They now use it in my work (childcare centre) everyone loves it. Iv used it reguarly for 2yrs at work and at home and its been accurate and never had a problem with it. It did cost me $100 tho, and im yet to replace the batteries.
Just a quick check in to see what everyone has - thanks so far MOS and flick!
Although MOS, I'm watching BL ATM and :shame: for giving the game away for us non DS people that the brothers are still in :p
well i have 2 thermometers and they are both useless! i wanted one of those in ear ones? but my gp told me not to as they are not accurate especially in babies and that even hospitals are no longer allowed to use them?
what is no touch flick?

We have a Braun digtal ear one, bought it when DD1 was a bub, fantastic and could claim on Medibank, thin it was about $80, worth every cent!

Oh SH!T :eek: I'm soooo sorry. I didn't even THINK of that!..... I am dumb. :(

Our Drs always use dig thermometer, and so did the hospital when DD2 was born.
tiggles your dr uses the ear thermometer or digital underarm?
he told me they are not allowed to use ear ones on babies anymore? and our 2 local hospitals dont anymore where as they used to. now they just use the underarm ones
I couldn't tell you what our therm is, its in nick's room and I don't want to risk waking him up. Will look in the am if I remember. But I think it is pretty good, it registered his 100.2 fever he had. The dr though just used THE BACK OF HIS HAND on his forehead. Couldn't believe it.
Think I'm in for another early night tonight. I don't think I'm going to get as lucky with Nick's sleeping tonight as we did last night.
K8Y, hope your tea went well today.
:sleeping: Goodnight

Its a dig ear one, works great!
Sorry all our Drs at our med clinic use dig ear tt.
a,
sooo much :ecomcity: to catch up on after being away for the weekend. was great, went out to Mudgee on friday night had a nice meal and a couple of wines, Pip was great, just turned on the charm for all the people walking past as we were outside the front of the restaurant.
sat we drove out to near Gilgandra to my friends farm. it is a full on farm so we saw the tractor and all the shearing sheds and stuff, pretty interesting, PIp will love visiting there when she gets older. saw a 1 minute old lamb trying to stand up....soo cute. the alpacas that had just been put in with the sheep were interested in it which was good as they apparently keep the foxes away!
had dinner under the stars and Pip was again a charmer until about 11pm! then drove home today very tired but will go to bed in a minute. Pip was really good in the car, hopefully it translates onto planes in a couple of months. glad to be back home and back into routine though.
well will try and remember stuff:
tiggles- sorry to hear about DHs job, I hope it ends up being for the best.
k8y- I have an omron ear digital one about $60 which is pretty accurate, plus an underarm one which I take with me- never used it though- takes ages!
lambkin- 2 weeks that is soo exciting, hope you are not stressing.
babywez- good to hear you had a good nights sleep.
not sure who was talking about bottles, but Pip only has 3 lots of 200mls a day now, dropped it one day when her routine was out of whack and didn't go back, she has never whinged for more so I haven't given her more!
ems- well done Khirra she is doing so well. Pip is now walking along furniture and thinks that she can stand up by herself- which typically ends in disaster!
BB- can't believe that wedding is this weekend- have a ball.
mybabyq- hope the flight is going well.
sorry I can't remember much else too much catching up whilst also watching TV.
going to bed, going to walk in the morning, being doing well with the exercise, though had a bad weekend food wise!
oh the website for the books is readinghabit.com.au-just email any requests and she will let you know if she has it and also suggest similar authors which is great.
Well poor Sums isn't well. She's not drinking all her bottles, maybe had 90mls tonight and usually drinks 200ml. Only had a few spoonfuls of solids.
She has a very congested cough which started tonight too.
Should I take her to the doc? I don't know her temp :hair:
She went to sleep in under 2 minutes just before. I hate it when our bubs are not well. It's so worrisome.
Tiggles I have heard digi ear ones work great and also heard too that they're not accurate and difficult to use, hence why I have no clue which one I should get.....
MOS aahhhhh nevermind lol..
I tried to salvage the situation by betting money with DP that I think they get through and he thinks they don't, but he didn't want to - spoilsport :laughing:
I promised I'd do personals later tonight but have forgotten them all. This does not bode well for my uni starting tomorrow lol....
I must say though, great pics MOS and stg :thumbsup:
Okay the bestie saga so far:
Got a text early Feb from her asking my address (WTF), then texted her back (to be nice) oh hey etc do you have something your planning? - reply, yes a ladies tea. Invite arrived in the mail a couple of days later.
Now to interject at this point, you would have assumed that her being my bestie, she would have rung me up about plans, enlisted my help/advice etc, but noooooooo, it came out of the blue......
So a couple of weeks ago she texted me, hey haven't heard from you, are you coming to ladies tea? (I still had a week till RSVP date) and TBH I hadn't yet responded because I hadn't made up my mind about going. So I texted back and said yes will be there and btw I feel I haven't spoken to you/seen you in ages. Would love to catch up - should I pop over? (not meaning at that moment though) and she replied, sounds lovely, will contact you later about organising something.
I mean, WTF? Why can't I just ring up and say hey, what you doing, lets have a cuppa? Do we have to turn it into some, organise a date/time/place saga? FFS she's suppose to be a best friend.
Anyway, a few days ago, she had some status thing pop up on facebook so thought I would have a look to see what she's been up to. Not stalking, but curious as I never hear from her right?
She's organising lunch with another joint friend of ours and this friends SIL (who I know). I was really upset that I wasn't invited. Why don't they think of me for these things. This joint friend had a bub in September and I saw her in November - I rang her and organised to visit at her place, then never heard from her again either!
Anyway at the tea today, it was really boring. She barely spoke to me, granted I know it was her tea and she had to socialise and organise etc, but she made a point to sit down and have a chat with everyone - but not me! The joint friend was there and she was being nice and chatty, but TBH I couldn't be bothered with her. After a couple of hours, some people started leaving so I thought I would go. It was too bl00dy hot anyway. She had us all sitting out in her back courtyard (of a tiny townhouse) in 37 degree heat. She had air con inside, but it was too small for all of us.
Anyway, I started organising stuff to leave and looks all surprised - oh your leaving? yep I said. So she goes, thanks for coming and I said thanks for inviting us (well me, she didn't put Summer's name on invite), then left.
A couple of days ago she texted me and said her sister was having a tupperware party at her mums house and I should come and we'd talk about it at the ladies tea, but I never really spoke to her. I won't bother to go to that.
I can't really afford tupperware anyway.
So thats the saga so far. Will wait to hear if she contacts me this week with more about the tupperware party, but frankly I was slightly cold to her when I left so who knows.
I just hate that I don't feel comfortable talking to her about it because she has a few friends and it would be embarrassing really for me to be so upset about something that she likely hasn't given a second thought to.
It's late, I'm tired :sleeping:
Night ladies.
ems meant to say, yes, my sweet revenge lol. My way of saying if you want to go out till all hours, you have to suffer the consequences as family comes first :D
He reckons he lost track of time :rolleyes:
K8Y I don't know what to say about your "bestie". She just seems very ... thoughtless? Oblivious maybe? Keep us posted on the tuppaware thing, but no, I wouldn't blame you for not going. And its not like you can go to those things then not order anything, is it? People know that when they invite you!
Ugh, GTG, Nick keeps getting into the trashcan and eating paper!
smo3, a notouch thermomoter is one that doesnt touch the body (well im sure you figured that lol), so no need for washing or buying the ear caps. you put it near the temple (1-2cm away) and it gives the reading. I like it as you dont have to disturb them if they are asleep.
Hi everyone
So many pages to catch up on!!! Hope I don't forget anything.
Tiggles -I'm sorry to hear about your DH. That just sucks that they can do that. :fingerscrossed: there's something better just around the corner.
Lambkin -Can't believe the wedding is so close!!!! How exciting. Can't wait to see your photos.
MBQ -Hope you have a lovely trip & Quinn handles the flights OK.
BB -Have a great time in Perth. Can't wait to see photos of you in your dress. You're going to knock their socks off!
MOS -I love those photos :goodvibes: He's so cute!!!!
Ems -Love the vids. She's beautiful! Very clever girl. Chais has a toy where the seat moves around the outside & he loves to push that around in circles, maybe I need to get him something so he can go straight.
Oconky -Sounds like you had a lovely weekend. You're so lucky Pip is so well behaved. Chais would never stay up that late & be good.
k8y -Hope Summer feels better today. Nothing worse than when they're sick. As for thermometers, not sure what brand mine is, (don't even know where it is :o) but it's one of those ones where you put it under the arm. When Dakotah was having chemo, we had to forever check her temp to check for signs of infection & this is the type the hospy recommends. They don't find the ear ones as accurate. Also when Chais was in NICU the nurses also use the same ones.
Babywez -This is just my opinion so please no one shoot me, but I really don't think giving him Phenergan (sp?) is the answer. I know how draining it can be having a baby who doesn't sleep, so you have my total sympathy. How are his day sleeps? Everything I've read or been told has always said if the day sleeps are all mucked up, so will the night ones be. Do you have a routine? Are there any sleep schools near where you live? :hugs:
SMO3 -I have a friend whose son sounds like he crawls the same as Dylan. It's so cute to watch!
c38 -Hope you enjoy Melbourne. I've only been there once when I was teenager & really enjoyed it.
Kyles -Hope Liam's going well.
Daisy boo -Def a story for Michael's 21st :laughing:
stg - Love the new photos, just gorgeous! Looks like she's got taller too.
flick -How exciting about TTC! Good luck :babydust2:
Hi to everyone else & hope everything is going well. Have a great day!

The phernergon was mentioned for our trip to the States in June. We have to fly 13 hours to LA then 6 hours to Atlanta. I wouldn't give it to him on a regular basis to make him sleep.
He has slept better the last 2 nights, so I'm going to see how this week goes, then contact the clinic near here if it gets bad again. The thing is he can sleep well, he just doesn't do it all the time. I don't know if its teeth, too much sleep during the day, or what.
Good morning all,
Well we had an OK night again last night. Sam woke squealing with pain around midnight, no fart or burp so not sure why but it was only for all of 15 mins so I'm not complaining. He then slept until after 5am and then in bed with me, fed and slept until 8am, so all up, a good night. I think my definition of a "good night's sleep" has changed too since he had a few cr@ppy weeks!
Both BIL's came around at at 4am to watch Manly play some English side in Rugby League and I heard their voices and thought it strange them being here so early so I thought somebody had died. Then I hear the squeals as the other side scored but it was dis-allowed... at which point I went out and asked them not to wake Sam. It was about 5am and they were seriously SCREAMING in the lounge room. Our bedroom is off the lounge room. Plus they don't even LIVE here, so I was a bit peeved.
I'm currently making Annabel's Peach, Pear and Blueberry and I've stained the MIL's kitchen bench with BLUE! :eek: I have it soaking in Vinegar though so all will be good. It's fading fast. Wow it's BLUE though! Will have to be careful feeding that to him in his best outfits! Might bring out the plastic smock for that stuff! :p
I waled to Woolies this morning and bought some MORE stuff for the fruit I'm currently making since DH ate half of it over the weekend :rolleyes: and I went through the self-serve checkout and when I got outside, I saw the packet of Blueberries sitting on the canopy of the pram. I hadn't paid for them... so back in I went. The lady behind the counter laughed and thanked me for going back in. DH also told me I was an idiot and should have kept on going but I never even gave it a thought. That would be STEALING. :shame: Anyway it felt nice once I realised many people wouldn't. I'm glad I did and one day Sam will understand and I want him to know the importance of honesty. :goodvibes:
A friend of mine up in Noosa was out with his 7 year old daughter and they found a $20 note outside Dan Murphy's. He is a pretty honest guy, so handed it in and they took their details down and a few weeks later they got a phone call saying nobody had claimed it so the $20 was theirs. His daughter learned a good lesson there and I thought it was very sweet.
Oopsy! Second batch of blueberries in the Bebedelice and it's been splattering out the little hole in the top of the steam hood. FYI: Blueberry splatters easily wipe off ceramic jugs, kitchen sinks, Bebedelice itself and even ceramic DUCKS... but DOES stain kitchen benches... :cool: Off to get more vinegar...
The phernergon was mentioned for our trip to the States in June. We have to fly 13 hours to LA then 6 hours to Atlanta. I wouldn't give it to him on a regular basis to make him sleep.
Sorry, I must've read it wrong. I'll blame it on baby brain!
Glad he's sleeping better.
Chais needs lots of sleep in the day still. He has 3 naps, but will only sleep in his cot, so on the day's we're out, he's a bit of a nightmare.
How many day naps do the other bubs have?
MOS -that combo sounds lovely! I would be very peevd at being woken up that early. Why can't they watch it at their own house? I need to give you that nappy. I'm at hospy on Thursday arvo, maybe I can drop it off before my appt.
oh thanks Kotakai had forgotten about daisyboos story it is a classic, I think it will be a tale for both kids 21st and I don't think they will like it :laughing:
k8y- sorry about your bestie, I hope you can talk about it and sort it out. you did so well with your other friend! hope sums is better, I would go to the dr, I am taking Pip as she got a rash over the weekend, not bad, but like to make sure!
MOS- uggh 5 in the morning...I assume they don't have foxtel hence why they came over??
babywez, I haveto laugh at some of the words you use- like trash can- just shows where you lived for years! same with your status on FB and "fall"!!!
oh well, off to get lunch ready for Pip, then off to do the groceries and go to the drs. so annoyed tried to get into see our normal dr- not until friday and this is at 9.10 this morning- surely they should keep some appt free each day for people who don't plan sickness:rolleyes: got into the nurse at the other centre and might keep going to that one as it is closer anyway. weird thing is my dr used to work part time I and would always get in on the day, she has moved to another place now is full time- and you can't see her :hair:
Oconky - when I posted that, I thought, "It's not a trash can its a rubbish bin!" And yes, can't quite get my mind around "autumn" yet. Will stick with "fall" for now :)
MOS and other poets, I need some help! I think I'm going to get a gift card to Myer for my PG friend for her shower this weekend, and want a little poem to put in the card. Here's what I've got, but I think it probably can be improved upon.
A gift card for you
To buy something new
Maybe pink for a girl
Or if a boy, blue
Shopping for bub
Will bring so much joy
Hopefully this helps
Buy some clothes or a toy

What does everyone think of Emazon on the biggest loser??? I think she's very cool and those 2 young missy's certainly a good kick up the bum from her.
Her hardcore way seemed to make a lot of sense.
:laughing:
I tape the BL as it's a bad time for me with the kids so I only saw Emazon yesterday. But I found they made her out to be much worse than she actually was. I mean even Commander is more hard core.
Those girls are starting to annoy me.
oh thanks Kotakai had forgotten about daisyboos story it is a classic, I think it will be a tale for both kids 21st and I don't think they will like it :laughing:
Totally agree with you. Wish I had thought at the time to run and tape it. Now that would have been even better than just telling the story!
babywez that poem is great. Better then what I could ever do so I can't offer any advice :D
Well she's been ear pulling from Thurs/Fri and her pink cheeks started Saturday and by Sunday night she had a really congested cough. Sunday people were trying to tell me it was just teething but why now when for the 4 teeth she already has not once did she ever ear pull or get pink cheeks. Anyway am glad I trusted my instincts in thinking it was an ear infection because I took her to the doctors today and it is. Her ears are red and inflammed and she has a fever.
She's started on antibiotics today and they said it's rather painful so panadol 4 times a day over the next 48 hours to get her through the worst of it :(
She only woke up once last night though which was good, thought it would be worse with her so sick. I think too it was only because our smoke alarms went off twice.
The night before last, her movement monitor alarm sounded during the night. It woke me instantly and I just hit the ground running into her room, but she was breathing fine. I had it turned up too sensitive and she was wedge up the top in the corner with no part of her on the sensor pad anywhere.... freaked me out. Happened again that night and DP fixed the sensitivity for me. You have to reset the monitor as it flashes red until you do.
Anyway when the smoke alarm went off last night, DP hit the ground running into her room, us both half asleep thinking it was her movement monitor again. It stopped before he got there but I said did you reset the monitor and he said no and it wasn't flashing red. So back to bed, then 1/2 hour later the smoke alarm went off again, and we realised what it was. Must just be faulty wiring though as no smoke anywhere...... :confused: DP going to fix it today.
Sorry, that turned into a bit of a convaluted (sp?) story :o
oconky how did pip go at the docs today?
MOS :hugs:
kudos to you for putting up with them.

But never forget you're a great friend indeed.
Then add a note like: Wishing you all the best for smooth and happy beginnings...
I dunno.... there's my suggestion for the ending though. Hopefully it gives you some kind of inspiration.
DH and I went for a walk all the way into Parramatta with Sam in the pram and Roxy on lead. It was nice. All up it was almost 2 hours.
Today I've tried to drop the midday feed and Sam's been cool with it. The last BF until just now was 8am. He has solids at 9am and midday and I BF him around 3:30. He's since :barf: a bit up again. He's not been demanding the midday BF and has been throwing it up lately so I thought he might not need it. He didn't whinge for food until recently... So I may be able to get away for a few hours during the day without getting into the formula debate with the MIL... not sure though. We'll see...
Anyway my (.)(.)'s are SOOOO big and he would only take one side so the other one is STILL swollen.
Would it be enough do you think for me to BF Sam at the following times:
4-5am
8am
3pm
8pm
He sometimes needs one around 11pm which would be fine with me...
He gets his solids at:
9am
1pm
6pm
I must mention he's been skipping up over the lines on the growth chart and is now on the 50% percentile. He started on the 5th, had a growth spurt just past the 25th and then plateau'd a bit... now is on the 50% percentile. So I know he's growing well... So would 4 BF a day be enough? Thanks ladies.
DH got home at 10:30 today. Since he's casual, he gets sent home first when it's quiet. He said he's going to give it a few weeks but if he keeps on being sent home early he's going to look for another job. That's cool with me but I now understand why he's pushing me to organise something to bring money in.
BBL. :wave:
He's vomited twice since my last post a few mins ago... and he only fed on one side. Do you think maybe it came out too fast? He got one really LONG feed out of it so could it have been too much? He's been feeding on one side only for a while...

Hello Ladies.........
There is a bit to catch up on....I often go back to old posts & read them through again...too see what I've missed.
Casey's tooth is nearly through:crying:woke @ 3.30am.............
not himself today poor wee fella but have been giving him panadol as I can see it bulging through the gum....awwww......the second top one will cut aswell in the next week I'd say.
Just made him some beef & veges so DH has enough to keep him going while im in Perth.
DS1 is good,no tears this morning when I dropped him off @ CC :yelclap:he said See ya MUM....awwwww
Speaking of teeth....I have a tooth ache :no: going to dentist in morning.....have a chipped moler that has a filling in it so now its exposed the hole & its very sensitive to the hot or cold....only today has it been bad,but did chip a few weeks ago...naughty I know should have gone & seen dentist then :o not a huge fan of them to be honest,hate that feeling of your face being numb....freaky
Had a coffee with a G/friend this morning that was lovley:goodvibes:
..................................
MOS those IL's of your's....maybe put him into family day care if you go back to work at least they will listen & stick to your routine....dont know how that would go down though.
K8y.....I hope you & your "Bestie" can work it out hun........maybe its time for both of you too sit down over a wine & get things off your chest.......Poor Sums ear infections are horrible Jake has a few.....not nice at all.
SMO3....remember WW is not a "DIET" its a lifestyle change......DIET's never work hun.....
Do what I do just start again the next day....not the Monday but the next day!
You will do it!!!! :thumbsup:

Thats 4 feeds a day. Should be fine...
I feed her 4, but during the day so same dif
Oh man, last night I lost her dummy. Must have lost it when out yesterday.
She never has it unless she is going to sleep.
15 min after her bedtime feed she starts screaming for it.
Poor thing was hysterical and didnt fall asleep for 45 min. she just didnt understand .
I bought 4 dummys today lol
stg, when I put Sam in his cot wide awake, he takes his dummy out then sticks it out the side through the bars, waits a few secs.... then lets go - all whilst grinning like it's a big game! :rolleyes:
And thanks about the feeds ladies. Will keep trying to encourage him cutting the lunch one, then can earn some $$$ and get out of here faster! :D Will give it a few days before I make contact with the old boss to make sure Sam doesn't demand a BF in the middle of the day.
I did just feed him on the right side as it was KILLING me. He brought a bit back up again... :( BB I thought what they don't need comes back out too but he hadn't had a BF since 8am... and it was 4pm and he only had one side. :eek:

Drove an hour an 10 min today to check out a car.
Was a complete bomb. My grandmother has a camry 3 years older than it that looks newer, and runs sooo much better. What a waste of time.
Hrmm.

She only takes the NUK ones.. same with the NUK bottle

wowee you got it together with the kids in bed by 7. Good job :thumbsup: Charlotte still averages 8pm (latest) for bed but lately its been closer to 7.30:smiliedance: Means I cant really feed her to sleep and me go to bed for the night like I used to need to do when she was younger to catch up on sleep so Ive found myself feeding her to sleep and settling her, the half hour or so it takes then getting back up and gettin online or something lol.. bad habbit cause I sleep later then am more tired. o well.
That shower sounds good, think Ill go have mine now.. not that its all too peaceful , Charlotte has one with me every night and is a rascal gets into everything. Goodnight all!
Edit : stupid smiley restrictions
Gosh I don't know hun, does he have dairy?
Is it alot of spew?
Nope.... little bugger is AWAKE! :hair:
Sorry, meant no to both - not much spew and no dairy.
:wave: morning all
my little man slept though:smiliedance:
he has done that a few times lately:D
be back later
I think I just pi$$ed off the FIL. You guys know the background behind them smoking - used to be inside and they've done a wonderful job of smoking outside since Sam was born (still smoked inside while I was PG but that's a different story!). Anyway, with all the SIDS talk at the hospy, etc it kind of spooked us out, especially DH about smoke staying on clothes, etc. The deal when we came home was if they've JUST had a cigarette, they should wash their hands before they touch Sam.
They did this just fine until not sure when but we've noticed they don't bother anymore... we've also noticed Sam smells like cigarettes a lot. DH's Dad smokes rolies so they're worse.
So I just took him out the back to say good morning, as I do EVERY morning and the MIL was gardening and the FIL was smoking (it was still a full cigarette). I come inside and he follows me and tells me to give Sam to him. I said don't worry, finish your cigarette. He said no he wants to take him so I said just leave it a few mins... he said no. I said "OK just go wash your hands then otherwise Sam's going to smell of cigarettes". He just walked out... think shaking his head. I used to smoke myself but I don't want my child to STINK of his strong gross rollies or any other kind of cigarettes for that matter.
It should be fresh in their minds FFS because yesterday the SIL took Sam out and sat at the table with them while they were all smoking. DH and I were watching from inside and it was fine as she was sitting on the other side of the table to them all. But then in one swift movement, the MIL put out her cigarette and then took Sam... at which point DH (un-prompted) ran out and reminded her of what she has to do before she takes Sam after a cigarette. They got the ****s then so you'd think the FIL would remember? It just makes me so angry. He's OUR son and if we don't want him smelling like smoke for the whole day then that's OUR choice.
Hey, I'm gave up smoking for Sam. If I didn't fall PG I'd probably still be smoking. I made that sacrifice and if I didn't care about it, I'd still be smoking myself! Why should THEY get to make him stink of smoke first thing in the morning when I've gone to so much trouble to make a smoke free home for him? :hair:
Sorry for such a lengthy rant...

Hi Guys!!! Just a really quick one form me, the flight was great! Quinn slept pretty much the whole time. made friends with the guy next to us, so much that people assumed we were together! However we are now stuck in LA until tomorrow because there is snow all on teh east coast and pretty much everything is cancelled. I was so upset yesterday but have spent most of the day sleeping and feel much better now, at least we have had a relaxing day to ourselves. oh and then quinn fell off the bed and has a massive carpet burn on her forehead, nothing is going right!
So flying all day tomorrow but at least we can still get there
and so much sympathy when you have a baby, got us a hotel room and heaps of meal vouchers so thanks continental!!
Hope everyone is well and the babies are doing great

Sorry for such a lengthy rant...
Thats great of you to give up smoking. I was a smoker too..gave up when Igot pregnant.. I too would still be smoking.. I started when I was 16:no:
Yick I hate the cigarette smell on people
But I think it takes years to get over the addiction. I still crave it I reckon though Ill NEVER smoke again
great news my babyq, well not the getting stuck there part but that u arrived safely and quinn was good on the plane. nice of u to pop in and update us so quickly:)
mos i honestly dont know how u can stand it. i wouldve cracked a tanty in the first few weeks and gone and moved into your flat, sorted out moving to a bigger place later on. meant to say to with your dh being sent home early as casual i know u mentioned where he worked once sounds a lot like where i work and i know we have little lulls where the same happens with our casuals too. always picks back up again and every event( long weekend, school hols, government handout etc) its so busy its crazy. i think it evens out overall. will he be offered permanent hours at some point? at ours u eventually become permanent if u want it , so i do 9.30 to 2.30 3xdays a week... well when im actually at work i do.
yeah i was a smoker too. started in 6th class- my dds current age:eek:, prob wasnt really addicted though till about 14 when id smoke a pack a day. managed to quit for a while when preg with dd but started again as soon as i got out of hospy:shame:. then when i had bray i quit again so havent been a smoker now for 6 and a bit years and i STILL crave them occassionally. i think the trigger in your mind never goes away but the smell of them now repulses me. guess i never noticed it when i did smoke. my dh has always been a non smoker though so he was pretty happy that i gave up
MBQ - I'm so glad the flight over went well! And that you got the hotel and meal vouchers - that is a big plus if you have to be stuck! Hopefully you can get out tomorrow. I can't believe its snowing in the SOUTHEAST in MARCH. We sometimes had snow in Atlanta, but very little, mostly just dusting, and only ever in Jan.
MOS & STG - well done on quitting smoking. I smoked when I was 15 to be "cool" but it only lasted a couple of weeks. When we moved back here, we lived w/ my sister and her fiance, who smokes. He mostly did a good job of staying outside, door closed, when he smoked, but if we weren't home, I'm sure he smoked inside, or kept the door open at the very least, b/c EVERYTHING smelled like smoke. I don't personally have anything against smokers, it is their choice, but I think it is a disgusting habit, and I'd rather not be around it. I'm so glad my step mum quit a couple of years ago, or it would be a bone of contention every time we saw them, I'm sure. But it was one of the contributing factors to my sister and me having a huge fall out, and to why we moved out. Just one of many contributing factors, I should say!
Have any of you bought this "My Child" mag before this competition? I hadn't, and won't be bothering again. I have written down some websites with this issue and the last one, as I read through it. Who can afford this stuff? $100 for maternity jeans, $70 for tops etc. It looks like lovely stuff, but I'd just as soon bum around in a $20 top from Target maternity. Not only maternity clothes, but nursing wear, baby wear, furniture...talk about OTT.
bb- i know i have to accept its a lifestyle change cause if its only a diet once ive lost some weight if i return to my previous lifestyle ill just pack it back on. i know what im doing isnt working for me, think when i quit smoking i replaced it with food as i never had a weight prob till then as i always varied between about 45kg to 52ks but in the last 6 yrs ive eaten my way to over 80kgs:o. so now i need to quit overeating and your right i need to start again next day instead of binging all week waiting for monday:o:laughing:. good news is i didnt regain any weight in my 'binge week' . so now im back on track keeping under my 20 points -ww took 1 point off me so now i only get 20:crying:. thanks for the moral support much appreciated:goodvibes:
babywez yeah i prob wouldnt buy it again, even the price of the mag itself is over the top. mine was over $9:eek: and a lot of its just advertising for stuff i would never buy. havent even bought a second one to vote yet. was thinking the other day i would never have paid a fee of over $18 to enter him in a comp but really that what ive done cause i wouldnt have bought the mag otherwise. anyway hopefully one of our bubbas win to make it worthwhile :D. we do have some stunning bubs from our 'due in june' group:yes:
ok so it appears im 'thread hogging' so im off to dyalns swim lesson back later
OK, shouldn't completely slag on the mag, b/c I just found this in there
http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/index.php
I've emailed it to DH as a "hint" for mother's day! :laughing: Just can't figure out which design I like best!
babywez, that site looks awesome. It's a shame they don't do anything in gold (I've been through them all :D) but it would be easy to go to a jeweller and get a plain tag engraved. I might look into that... would be nice to wear DH and DS's names around my neck.
Actually I'm addicted to tatt's... sounds gross and you can't tell that I've got one as it's well hidden but I want to get a small subtle "S" somewhere hidden... my friend wants to get her DH's name tattooed around the finger her wedding bands sits on and I love that idea. I told her I want to copy her idea. She's SO not a tatt person either and I have my suspicions she'll never get it done.
But I think it takes years to get over the addiction. I still crave it I reckon though Ill NEVER smoke again
I agree - I occasionally think I wouldn't mind the odd one here and there, which is how I smoked for the whole 2 years in Noosa so I was never addicted I don't think. Like I used to smoke about 10 on poker nights once a month and then none for a week or two, would have a beer and then a smoke but never smoked at home or work out of habit. I think it was soooo easy to quit as I don't think I was addicted.
On the topic of smoking, I too agree it's up to each person and I have nothing against people who do smoke but what I am against is making MY son passive smoke or smell like a smoker at 8 months old. I started smoking around 15 years old but that was my decision. Sam doesn't CHOSE to smell like it at his age - at his age it's MY decision to chose to make people be more careful around him, so MY responsibility and it makes me sad to think he's being subjected to that for no reason. Sorry, will quit ranting again. :rolleyes:

MBQ, how wonderful to hear from you so soon. I can't believe you got sympathy vouchers. How great though, you wouldn't want to be stuck in an airport with a baby. It's nice to hear there are still nice people and businesses out there. :goodvibes:

Yeah where he is there are people who have been casual for 4 years and are waiting for a permanent position. :eek: It's such a great place to work and good money so they tend to stick around. He does want permanent though and he said the same thing to me the other day, about it picking up for Easter so I think he'll be fine. And I am about to look up rentals... maybe it could work. Would have to crunch numbers though... Wouldn't move back into our unit because of Roxy but it still being rented out would mean a good tax return...
Also, SMO3, you used to be 52 kilos... which just proved you have the body shape to be able to get back to that again if you work hard enough. I think once you're into the habit of eating a particular way, your body adjusts and you'll soon stop feeling like it's a big change, but rather will end up being normal to you. There are some people who just don't have the bone structure to have a small 52 kilo build so you're one step ahead there. I think you're doing great and have made the move towards being healthier. Well done to you! :yelclap:

I so agree! That mag is sooo over-priced and I'm yet to go through it but would not have bought it in the first place...
Well I just spoke to DH and he's on a break which means he's going to make it past 10am today. I also told him I'm off to the post office to post some of those pics to my dad in England, my nanna and my mum in Brissy and also going to drool over the shoes I wanted last week... and he told me to buy them. I'm also going to EMail me old boss a little later. I'm firstly going to tell him I'll do his phone calls which is what he absolutely HATES doing and his current assistant HATES them also. In fact, so do I, but it's something I can do from home and get a few hours in here and there without leaving Sam. I'll also ask him as part of the deal to save some admin stuff I can do too to make it worth it. That way I can maybe pick up a letter or two, type it up at home (and change it - the guy can't string together a sentence very well!) and then Email it to him...
So I'm motivated... and off to check out rentals and just be nosey. I don't think I'd be too worried about the MIL watching sam for a few hours here and there if I get to take him HOME AWAY FROM HER afterwards, so maybe it might be a better way to go. We'll see...
never looked at it that way mos:), i tend to only think of the negative like that means i am 30 kgs overweight:crying:. its funny too when i was 52kgs i felt too heavy cause i was usually in the forties and i used to sook about being over 50.... those were the days lol. im very short so i guess thats why
anyways enough 'weight' talk im inspired for today already gonna make a yummy homemade veggie pizza with a leb bread base for lunch today:chef: just hanging out for it to actually be lunch time so i can start:laughing:
yeah at our work its about 2 yrs to be offered permanent and even then it would usually be a part time position first with like a flex up of casual hours if that makes sense so if u want a fulltime permanent position it can take closer to 3 yrs. depends how busy we are, sometimes its get heaps full on if we pick up new stores and people fluke it and get one really quick in under a yr. guess it was easy for me as i always want less hours but the boys who are looking for 40 hours plus a week can find it a little hard.
well dylan had swimming and im thinking of pulling him out:confused:. his lesson is at 10.05 which he is ALWAYS asleep for so every week i wake him to go then he sleeps in the car then when we get there i have to wake him for his lesson, so he is tired and cranky during his lesson and im paying big bucks for a private lesson that my son is too tired to get much out of. ive asked her 3 times now can he have a diff time and day of the week and everytime she kinda brushes me off a bit with oh ill get back to u and babies sleep patterns change all the time he prob be diff next week:hair:. the morning sleep after school run is the only sleep dylan has with any regularity and i dont wanna stuff it up, it seems to throw his whole day out when i do. im paying this woman over $40($17 just for dylan) a week for 3 kids swim lessons at least she could get back to me with a yes or no type answer? so im thinking i might ring and tell her im pulling dylan out but if she has a better time come up to give me a ring?
Just a quick hi as busy pureeing while Sums naps.
She's suppose to be in CC today but she has her ear infection so she's playing hooky at home, but I am suppose to be doing uni so am not off to a good start to the semester :(
At this rate DP will have to take Summer on Saturday while I spend all day at uni library :dizzy:
Yes I would hate for Sums to stink like ciggies. Mum is a smoker but when we visit she doesn't smoke in the house from the time she wakes up until we leave so that there is no smoke lingering when we arrive - very thoughtful :goodvibes:
Mybabyq so glad you arrived safely. :hugs: for poor Quinn's carpet burn. Hope you have a great time.
SMO3 can you get your swim lessons somewhere else?
Re WW I haven't done my weigh in this week as got AF and it always fluctuates during this time (ie high lol) so I don't want to weigh until it's gone as if it shows I haven't lost much (which is likely inaccurate IYKWIM) then it will unmotivate me.
BB are you getting excited???? :flowerz:
k8y yeah we could try a diff swim place just this one is by far the closest to me and im really happy with how she is teaching my other 2 kids. im hoping if she thinks she may lose my business she will find another time for him... or maybe she wont
still havent got my AF back yet:confused:. weaned dylan about 6 weeks ago maybe 8 even, hard to remember now. ive done a hpt though and bfn so dunno just keep waiting i guess

meant to say yesterday I hope she gets well soon.
Me, I forgot to mention thismorning I had a terrible dream last night that Charlotte died
I was in disbelief then I was saying how it hasnt hit me yet then it hit me and I was distraut.. I was telling my family how I only said the other day to her, what would I do without her.
It wasnt one of those REALLY vivid real dreams, but I woke at 5am with a huge sense of relief and half asleep said "my baby" and yeah.. :(
Some good news for us!

That is great news Tiggles! What a huge relief that must be. I hope it prooves to be better than the last gig!
I feel like I've gained about 10kgs today, and I'm not sure why. I wonder if I'm getting AF...I had some really light cramping yesterday.
Going to yoga again tonight, just not sure who is going with me - mum or Mike. I think Mike would like to go try it, so maybe mum will babysit. We'll see!

Casey's had cut his tooth :crying:poor bub.....woke during the night I could feel it but now its gone back up a little bit but I think thats because its swollen....hes had panadol but hes still upset & grizzly.......understandable...
I went to the dentist this morning I need a ROOT CANAL :hissy:all I can think of is how much its going to cost us $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I dont have private health cover....argh well it needs to be done dont want to loose the tooth,I will also get more fillings once that is done,sounds like I have really bad teeth :o
But on a brighter note they are sparkling clean:D...........My mum has a mouth full of fillings as does my Brother & my Dad now has dentures....hmmmmmmmmm......Mum is a good girl her teeth are good always getting them cleaned & checked etc
K8y...Poor Sums.....Im am excited getting a little anxious about leaving the boys.....there in great hands with their daddy.
MOS....I was a smoker gave up before I had Jacob well before he was conceived....started up again but only for a short time & then I quit again.... have had the odd puff here in there....:shame:..........but I class myself as a non smoker....i cant stand the smell or taste now I dont know why I have a puff....old habits I suppose.....I understand what you are saying & I agree! Tough if they dont like it I say....My dad & stepmother smoke inside :barf:
Hello MbabyQ...
OK BBL
Oh no BB :crying: not a root canal! I've had one where almost lost my tooth and I have another that needs re-work :( Who does like the dentist anyway.......
Yay for Casey getting his tooth through. Hopefully the pain will ease a bit (until the next one comes along.....).
babywez I'm starting bikram yoga with a friend soon (she already does it though). How do you find yoga? I've never done before, let alone sweated my butt off with it at the same time.....
SMO3 enjoy not having AF while you can. Mine came back with a vengeance :rolleyes: Not painful, just heavier.
Maybe say to her if you can't work out another swim time, you MIGHT have to consider somewhere else, then see what she says?
stg what an awful dream, glad it didn't feel too real for you :hugs:
I sent a message to ladies in facebook re the next Brisbane meet. Stg, tiggles, babywez, flick and ems :thumbsup:
k8y, I'm watching The Biggest Loser! :p

Well this is beginner yoga/stretching class, and it is tough. My arms are hurting right now. But I bought a 10 class pass. DH asked if I "enjoyed" it, and I wouldn't say I enjoy it, but I know it will help me with strength, breathing, stretching, relaxation, and its something I want to get better at. I think the better at it I get, the more I'll enjoy it. I believe in all the benefits of yoga, just have been too lazy the last 5+ years to do it (that's about how long, if not longer, I've been saying I should do it!).
Who was the other one in the message? Is it someone from here? I notice we have 8 friends in common! Is it Shellie?
DH put Nick in his cot and he went ballistic. So I picked him up and nursed him a bit, then put him back down and I sang the Aussie anthem to him, and then the American one, then I still call Australia home...and he was out! They must bore him to sleep ;)

Hey Ladies,
Been MIA for a couple of days, so personals are going to be a little bit vague, sorry!
K8y - :hugs: re: your bestie... maybe like BB said, you two should sit down with a glass of wine and have a bit of a D & M... I know I'm speaking from a seat waaay in the back row, but it sort of sounds like she might have something that she's stewing on? She sounds like she's being a bit detached from you... maybe she has something to say that she hasn't? Dunno, just a guess, but maybe just coming right out and saying 'are you alright? You've just been so distant lately, have I done something?' etc might help? Just a suggestion. Hope Summer gets better - so horrible when they're not well. You know if you're ever really stuck for someone to look after her when you need to be doing Uni stuff or whatever I'm more than happy to help... have all the Blue Cards and stuff from CC ;)
MOS - Of course you're completely justified in not wanting Sam to reek of an ashtray! My Dad is a pack a day smoker, and he smoke 16's (which I grew up with - cough cough) but he always makes a point of going outside to smoke when we're around, so I can't ask any more of him. Although I tend to wash her clothes as soon as we're home as they do smell of smoke, and I'm the same - I just don't want it lingering around my kid.
MBQ - So glad you got a hotel room... poor Quinn with the carpet burn!! Hope you have a fantastic time over there.... I know the snow's been a pain in the backside for you so far, but I'm jealous - I've never seen snow!
Tiggles - that is such great news :goodvibes: Definately sounds like it might be a much better lifestyle for your DH and family!
BB - Woohoo - Only 3 days to go!! Have you left the kids alone for that long before? We've got a wedding over in Perth in August and I'm yet to decide if I'm going to go... we'd go for four days, but it feels like such a long time to leave Khirra... she'd be with my Mum, who's the only other person she is completely happy with, but I dunno... lol, I'm such a sook :o I'd really like to go though, cos the bride's parents live in Shelley - the suburb next to where we used to live, so we'd be able to go see what they've done with our old place and the friends we made there... And the wedding's in Kings Park, then reception in Northbridge... would be very nice... anyway, I'm babbling. And yukko about the tooth! I really have to go see a dentist... procrastinating, procrastinating...
Stg - what an awful dream, you poor thing! :hugs:
Well, Mum's dolphin swim was alright... they don't let you 'catch a ride' on the dolphins or anything anymore... which I guess is a good thing if you're an animal rights activist... not so good if you've paid $250 (plus entry) to 'swim' with the dolphins and really just get to pat them a few times. But anyway, she enjoyed it.
Khirra's cut her top two middle teeth, and I have an inkling an eye tooth up the top is coming down...it's all pretty swollen in there, poor kid.
Went to the doctor today to have my lymph nodes checked out... a 3rd one popped up last night. So I'm on another course of antibiotics to see if they disappear, and if not I have to go see a specialist to make sure they're okay. I am so sick of lumps :(
Anyway, am going to go have some dinner... snapper and veges, yummo
Who was the other one in the message? Is it someone from here? I notice we have 8 friends in common! Is it Shellie?
Im Shelley,do you mean me?
Awwww another Brissy meet? I'm jealous! Although this time I would have more notice... :rolleyes: Nah! Won't crash your party THIS time! ;)
9:47 and Sam's ONLY JUST gone to sleep. DH just fell asleep next to me and I'm staying up for the Diary of a London Callgirl. :D
If DH finishes early tomorrow we're going to a Babes in Arms movie as we have some tickets from when we bought a booklet ages ago. Tomorrow's dinner out night for us too but if he finishes early it'll be lunch instead. We'll see...
The battery in the bl00dy smoke alarm outside our room is dying so it beeps every few mins. So annoying! :hair:
Good advice Ems about k8y's bestie. Sounds possible she could be not saying something... keep us updated k8y. :hugs:
Hi all!
Have just read through the posts very quickly, so have no personals today apart from:
Tiggles - great news re: DHs position! What a relief for the family!
Re: smoking - Im also an ex smoker. I smoked for about 15 years:eek: and went cold turkey the second I found out I was pregnant - that pregnancy ended in m/c, but never took them up again. BUT sometimes I have dreams where Im smoking, and suddenly realise it, and I feel so disappointed that I undid all my hard work.
Well, I have a sick bub at the moment. Hes had a shocking few nights sleep, and today he was absolutely burning up, so I took him to the doctors. Poor Liam has a respiritory infection, a sore throat and ears!:crying: Doc recommended panadol and gave me a script for amoxycillin. Ive dosed him with panadol, that stopped the grizzling, and hes asleep, but I dont feel like I was a very good parent letting it go for a few days:gloomy:
I got a phone call about work today. There are no 3 day positions at the moment, nor do the HR department know of any coming up. By law I am entitled to my old position back (but thats full time), my other option is a "career break" for 12 months where Im still employed, but am not working....not getting paid! Then if a 3 day positon comes up I get first dibs. I would have to cancel childcare and try and rebook it if a position came up. I cnnot get onto the Family Assistance calculator to work out how much extra FTB I would receive if I took the career break (I receive some FTB but not all atm as I also receive LSL payments at half pay). I think I need to sleep on it all and have a big talk with DH
I didnt have Liam to return to work full time and never see him!
OK, time for bed.:fingerscrossed:for a peaceful night here tonight! Hugs to all Mums and cuddles for all the bubbas! Take care:flowerz:
I went to the dentist this morning I need a ROOT CANALL
What IS a root canal??
I havent been to the dentist in like a decade.
I take good care of my teeth. They are pretty good.. I think?
The back ones at the top, near the gums feel like the enamel is a bit eaten away.. bit concerned about that..
I should see a dentist I guess?? I dunno where to start.. isnt there like a wait list for it?
sometimes I have dreams where Im smoking, and suddenly realise it, and I feel so disappointed that I undid all my hard work.
Well, I have a sick bub at the moment.:flowerz:
I have those dreams too!
And hope Liam gets well soon.
morning all
my little man slept though:smiliedance:
he has done that a few times lately:D
be back later
that is great news smo3
I think I just pi$$ed off the FIL. You guys know the background behind them smoking - used to be inside and they've done a wonderful job of smoking outside since Sam was born (still smoked inside while I was PG but that's a different story!). Anyway, with all the SIDS talk at the hospy, etc it kind of spooked us out, especially DH about smoke staying on clothes, etc. The deal when we came home was if they've JUST had a cigarette, they should wash their hands before they touch Sam.
They did this just fine until not sure when but we've noticed they don't bother anymore... we've also noticed Sam smells like cigarettes a lot. DH's Dad smokes rolies so they're worse.
So I just took him out the back to say good morning, as I do EVERY morning and the MIL was gardening and the FIL was smoking (it was still a full cigarette). I come inside and he follows me and tells me to give Sam to him. I said don't worry, finish your cigarette. He said no he wants to take him so I said just leave it a few mins... he said no. I said "OK just go wash your hands then otherwise Sam's going to smell of cigarettes". He just walked out... think shaking his head. I used to smoke myself but I don't want my child to STINK of his strong gross rollies or any other kind of cigarettes for that matter.
It should be fresh in their minds FFS because yesterday the SIL took Sam out and sat at the table with them while they were all smoking. DH and I were watching from inside and it was fine as she was sitting on the other side of the table to them all. But then in one swift movement, the MIL put out her cigarette and then took Sam... at which point DH (un-prompted) ran out and reminded her of what she has to do before she takes Sam after a cigarette. They got the ****s then so you'd think the FIL would remember? It just makes me so angry. He's OUR son and if we don't want him smelling like smoke for the whole day then that's OUR choice.
Hey, I'm gave up smoking for Sam. If I didn't fall PG I'd probably still be smoking. I made that sacrifice and if I didn't care about it, I'd still be smoking myself! Why should THEY get to make him stink of smoke first thing in the morning when I've gone to so much trouble to make a smoke free home for him? :hair:
Sorry for such a lengthy rant...
ughh..so annoying, I have noticed my parents are a bit more slack when it comes to smoking now as well, used to always use a nappy to cover themselves but now they don't.
tiggles- that is great news:yelclap::yelclap:
mbq - glad you arrived safe
Kyles and k8y- sorry to hear bubs are not well, hope they are better soon.
Kyles- sorry to hear you can't go back p/t atm, at least you don't have to resign, but still it is a bit of limbo. I think my boss has forgotten me!!
BB-ughh root canal you poor thing. not long now!!
well I had some good news today, dh got his holidays in October so we can go overseas!!! not that I have holidays then approved if I go back to work, but I have already decided that I will leave the job if they don't give them to me!!! also got a call from my soccer coach. there are 2 team this year and they are grading them for the first time ever. bad thing about that is that I won't play with some of my friends, good news is that he has told me I have to come to the grading this week (missed sundays due to our trip out west and short notice) so he can justify me in the top team, just feels nice to know he thinks I am good enough!!!
Pip is a bit out of sorts today:fingerscrossed: she is not getting sick as well. the doctor diagnosed eczema which is not great, but at least it is nothing severe!
oh well off to bed now!
Im Shelley,do you mean me?
Yes its you! I just sent you a friend request.
Breakfast time. We were going to a friend's to go swimming today but looks like it might rain all day.

Good Morning
Casey slept through :yelclap:Jacob on the other hand woke 3 times :confused: he said he was scared ..... :kiss:
Hes at that age where hes starting to have bad dreams/nightmares....he had two milos over the night its the only thing that calms him.....he slept in & is a bit grumpy this morning but not surprised as he didn't sleep well.....so if its not one of them that wakes its the other :rolleyes:
Yes count down is on 2 days & im OFF! :D
Fly out Fri morning so wont be on here for a few days.....
Ems84~ I have left Jacob before the first time when he was 10months old I had to go to NZ my Nana passed away I hadn't left him before I was very upset but I was only going back for 5days.....
I was so anxious felt sick etc...but my Nanas passing was very sudden so it was a combination of both.
This will be the first time I've left Casey though....am getting a bit anxious...he will be fine though Daddy is very capable & Nana(MIL) is just around the corner......I will miss them like crazy............
Babywez~ I want to try that yoga my SIL has done a class said it was great! its the Rage apparently.....
Stg~A root Canal(never had one before) so cant really tell you but its not pleasant & costs $$$............OUCH!
Same sort of procedure as a when they do a filling but they go alot deeper,its all do with the tooth nerve etc,so its either that or loose my tooth....my brother has had one,my friend from Mums grp....with my tooth it broke/chipped & it had a filling already in it so it got exposed & maybe more decay got in there....anywho gotta get it fixed!

Well Sums has been sleeping well despite being sick. Though usually after her morning bottle (6is) she goes back to bed and straight to sleep but this morning, she's had some trouble. Maybe just now drifting off I think as I've left her to lay her, now and then having a little whinge. It's just that I woke up this morning feeling like hell. I'm sick now too :hair: It's so frustrating as who has time to rest??? I ache all over, my throat is on fire, my eyes and head hurt and my nose is stuffed......
ems thank you so much, that is such a kind offer. I'm just a bit worried as I am falling behind from the start and the start is the basis for all the courses so if you don't get the gist at the beginning it can throw you off for the whole thing!
Poor Khirra's toothy pegs hurting. I think the eye teeth are suppose to hurt a fair bit?
How long do you have to take the antibiotics for? :fingerscrossed: it goes away for you.
MOS you should be jealous, we're planning on going swimming at Southbank for the next one. Should be a lovely day :p
Make sure they get a new battery today!
Have a nice lunch/dinner!
Kyles you got him to the doctor so don't feel bad. It's hard to know sometimes when it's something more then just being a little off or teething :hugs: and in this day and age, who likes to give their wee ones antibiotics willy nilly right? Sums is on antibiotics for her ear infection but it's so hard to diagnose. If she ordinarily pulled on her ears and got pink cheeks when teething I wouldn't have known. It's only because when she cut her 4 teeth not once did she ear pull or get pink cheeks, so why now right? that's only how I knew it was something more.
I hope you sort something out with your job. I don't know yet what I'm doing with mine either. I only know that I want to go back part time so they might not let me either. They didn't for another girl who wanted to come back from maternity leave there a month ago, but then hers was a receptionist job, not accountant. I only say that though, because good accountants up here are hard to find but receptionists are easier.
BB poor thing. Not one the other :hugs: poor little tyke getting bad dreams. I remember those being young and so important they get their mummy's cuddles :goodvibes: You're a great mum.
We'll miss you too while you're gone!
stg I don't think there is a wait list for general dental i.e. checkup, cleans, general fillings etc. Not sure though. My mum gets put on wait lists but then I only recall that being for major dental work.....
oconky yay for holidays! I'm so jealous. You're going to have a fab time.
BB oh I didn't realise your DH still had his vertigo. I hope they doc can sort it out tomorrow.
Us well am sick so we won't be doing much today. Maybe just as much uni work as I can when Sums has her naps.
Oh ems meant to say yes, I might bring it up. I haven't decided. Haven't heard anything this week yet re the tupperware party.
Morning everyone, Im meant o be working but nothings happening, all my clients are being good users, lol.
Catching up on everyone news.
K8y and Kyles Im sorry your little ones arent well, lets hpe they and you to K8y get better soon.
Oncky & BB - I was reading another thread yeterday about aspartine (cant spell) poisoning, you know the stuff in diet softdrinks, a few made comments re vertigo can be a symtom. so do you Oncky or BB DH drink diet softdrink?Just a thought.
BB - hugs for the root canal, Ive had it done and its not plesent, though the needles hurt more than the procdure. STG - basically the dentist drills out the cavity and also right down to the base of the roots to clean out any decay. I actually had to get a full mouth x ray yesterday and you can really see the tooth I had root canal, as they pack the root with some sort of filling material. DD1 was fasinated by it.
BB- off to Perth, love the place! I was born there but grew up in Sydney, has 2 weeks holday over there about 5 years ago. ts so clean and little traffic compared to other cities.
Oncky - great news re the soccer, you must be a fit girl!
Not much for me, Miss C is is care today, gee her teachers just love her, mother her in cuddles and kisses.
Now back to work for me!
Sorry if Ive missed anyone.
k8y, :hugs: hope you get better soon... I can't even imagine being sick with a baby. You wouldn't be able to just hit the sack for a few days...
Hope Liam gets better soon too Kyles. :hugs: And sorry to hear about your work. Good luck with your decision, it's a hard one so take your time thinking it through and do what you want and not what others want of you.
I've got the paper and I'm going through the job section to see if there's anything that sticks out for DH as he asked me to get it for the jobs. Anyway there's an ad for "Mail Order and Computer Workers from home"... any ideas what that would be ladies? Just curious...
Sam was a royal pain in the ar$e this morning. Woke up from phone ringing 5 mins after being painful to get to sleep so he spent the next hour and a half screaming. I actually put him in his cot to cry and went and blow-dried my hair to drown out the noise (it needed to be done anyway!). I took him for a walk to Woolies where he FINALLY went to sleep. :rolleyes: I'm all stiff as he woke up at 3:30am and I fell asleep so he slept with us but I was perched up onto my side to protect him so sore back now.
I won a Baku silver bangle - it arrived in the mail this morning. :D
Sam snores. He's currently in his pram next to me in the kitchen and he's snoring like his Daddy - so cute! Bugger stupid me - now he's awake...
Congrats Oconky on the soccer A-Team!
And we'll definitely miss you BB so please hurry back for us... with photos of the new HOT MUMMA!!!!!!!
Well suppose to go to a uni lecture tonight at 8pm till 10pm :sleeping: I'm too bl00dy tired and sick. I alternated today between looking after Sums and uni work and washing so I need to rest really. I've done the reading for tonights lecture and also read the text chapters, summarised the info and reviewed and did the tutorial questions and case studies so I figure I'm pretty safe with not going to the lecture having done that instead.
MOS how do you win so much stuff? Congratulations. Is it worth posting a pic of your bangle?
Do you enter comps through magazines or online stuff?
Do you do all the Thats Life! stuff? Do they even publish that mag anymore?
Sums too has been a bit of a pest to get to sleep today. She used to be such a great self settler but since moving to her cot and being able to get around more and get up on all fours, she's been difficult. Her night sleep I can usually get away with laying her down and she'll be asleep in 10 minutes, but during the day she'll whinge and/or play for 10 - 15 mins, then I usually have to go in and help her off to sleep with a shush/pat. I hate it, hurts my back leaning over, but if I lower the cot to do it, raising it just wakes her up as I like to leave her while she's drifting off, not fully asleep.
Tiggles its nice to hear that your Miss C gets lots of love and cuddles while at CC :goodvibes:

Ahhhhhhhhhh.... how great is it to sit down in total peace and quiet sometimes? :laughing:
Kyles - Hope Liam gets better soon hun :hugs: And don't beat yourself up! Goodness me, it's so, so hard to know if something's actually wrong with them... and taking them to the doctor I think you either luck out (for lack of a better phrase) and they're actually sick or you're another over-cautious Mum (again for lack of a better phrase). Good luck with making the work decision... must be so tricky. Would you consider going to another job?
Oconky - Woohoo for the holidays!!! Would be wooonderful to go to Europe! And very well done with the soccer selections as well... been so long since I've played a sport...well, since I fell pregnant.
MOS - I don't know what sort of competition fairy you have hanging around, but I want to borrow it!!
BB!! :smiliedance: GOAL WEIGHT!!! That is sooooo fantastic hun!! :hugs: You really are such an inspiration.
K8y - hope you feel better hun, and that sums is on the mend. Sounds like you're all over the uni work - what's listening to someone drone on for a couple of hours going to add? ;)
Tiggles - I have to say, when I was working, I used to looove going to the nursery, giving all the gorgeous bubbas cuddles :goodvibes: You get very attached to some of the kids.
Well, pretty quiet here today. Took Kiss to swimming lessons, then came home to boring domestic duties. It's Mum and my StepDad's birthday today (yes, on the same day) but they've gone out for dinner and DP is at squash, and Khirra is asleep. So I might go plonk in front of the TV... boy, I know how to have a good time, lol

....Haven't heard from the lovely C38 for a while... her trip to Melbourne wasn't yet, was it??
MOS how do you win so much stuff? Congratulations. Is it worth posting a pic of your bangle?
Do you enter comps through magazines or online stuff?
Do you do all the Thats Life! stuff? Do they even publish that mag anymore?
Yes they do, but I tried those comps for ages and won nothing. I stick to the "In 25 words or less..." comps as my little "ditties" tend to win a lot... so I stick to them and don't waste my time on much else. I enter most of them online too. I won the bangle on the NineMSN website. Websites for magazines and TV shows often have good comps. But ones where you have to buy something have less entrants, although I will onl be a part of it if it's something I'm buying anyway.
And BB WAY TO GO!!! :smiliedance: I don't think it's going to take you very long to hit your ultimate goal. You should buy a skimpy size 8 dress and take a look at it and know that you will be in it one day... and them maybe you can put it on for your DH! :D :laughing:
Tonight DH and I had a big long talk, there were tears, etc. We walked to the hotel at the end of the street for dinner so when there were tears on the way home, we walked to the park and sat on a bech and had a chat. He doesn't like hearing me whinge about his parents all the time, which is fair enough... but I can't do this and NOT whinge. He said he understands why I whinge sometimes but sometimes I need to just "get over it". He also said he doesn't like thinking about buying a house or moving out because it seems so far away and he gets depressed thinking about it. I on the other hand, NEED to discuss our goals to keep me motivated and he understands that also. We discussed if maybe our goals are a little too far away. What's wrong with getting an old run down house in an area that's OK but not entirely where we want to end up? Sam doesn't start school for another 4 years AT LEAST, so why are we trying to set ourselves up for retirement (so to speak)? Anyway I'm going to look into some areas a little further out... lambkin, I suggested Pitt Town! :laughing: It was fresh in my mind. But it would suit us as I kind of CRAVE the feeling of isolation. Another idea was the mountains... I dunno. I'm going to look into some of these things but NOT discuss them with DH!
So in the end, we agreed it's hard living here and I need to NOT whinge so much and I shouldn't talk about moving out ALL THE TIME. He also understands we need to get out of here sooner than when we can afford the perfect place. We did also agree nothing's happening while he's casual and I'm going to earn some $$$ from home. I've Emailed my old boss today offering to do some of his phone call from home, so I won't have to leave Sam and I'll have a chance to earn some money. Will continue my other bits and pieces too and market research, etc (I've put down for 2 next week - juice research for $160 and baby products for $120).
Oconky, were you an occupational therapist? I found an ad for one working from home in the Hunter area 3-4 days a week work...
Ems I think I recall something on Facebook about C38 packing in the last few days so perhaps she's gone already...?
Oh and k8y, forgot to answer, the Baku bangle not worth posting pic of... plus I've already given it to one of the nieces. It was about 1cm thick but really light weight, it opened up, and had a little safety chain attached to it. It did have the sterling silver number engraved on the inside but I'm not a silver person anyway so I gave it to her and she LOVED it. :goodvibes:

I have a question. Im wanting to get rid of my big pram and get a stroller.
THe reviews section on bubhub wont work so does anyone have recommendations?
I hired a steelcraft one from a shopping centre when I forgot to take my pram one day and she LOVED that.. i dunno how which model it was.. if they have more than one stroller?
There was a Valco Vee Bee 3 wheel stroller (not pram) which I liked but not sure about it.
Im open to any price if the product is really good.
I dont wanna lug the pram around anymore when its not really neccessary. Ijust want it to be able to be comfy when she sleeps in it as well as good upright

Stg - I've got a Steelcraft Strider and DD and I both love it. In fact I'm already getting separation anxiety from it as when we go back to the UK I'll be taking a little Quicksmart stroller which is so different.
I love the fact that she can face me or face away (tho she's always facing me:D) Think it cost about $350 but it was money well spent.
MOS - Congrats on your win - AGAIN! I've decided you've got to be in it to win it so I've started entering those 25 word ones - not sure my ditties are up to your standard but I seem to be on a roll now so I'd better win something:p
Well I'm supposed to be taking DD to her swimming lesson today but after the last 2 disasters I'm thinking of skipping it today. She's finally got 2 teeth coming thru so is a bit fragile and I don't want to tip her over the edge, but I feel guilty for not taking her:confused: Might go shopping instead - DP's pay day today so we get our budget (I've usually blown mine the first day on things for DD which I hide from DP:laughing:)
MOS it must be very difficult for both you and your DH. My DP is very ambitious and wants us to build again so we can reduce our mortgage but I don't want to rent again (I've had so many crappy renting experiences I couldn't do it again and especially not with a baby). Ok - so I've just re-read that and it doesn't sound that ambitious but from where I'm standing with a little baby, me only working 2 days and the 98% chance of redundancy before the end of the year, and the fact that DP wants another baby - I'm too scared we'll be skint again. I know he's talking sense as we'd probably reduce our mortgage by $100,000 so I think I'll have to think about it more and be really sure....
Very quiet here lately! Not much to report from my end. It is lunch time, then I think we'll go to the shops to kill some time. I also would like new sunglasses. But not sure I can justify that one to DH. I think I'm going to get another baby card, and give it to my friend tomorrow. Might throw her off the surprise baby shower trail, if she's even on it!
I, too, have been entering some comps online, and sticking to the 25 words or less ones. But I never win anything, so am not expecting anything!
Nick just woke up from a HUGE nap, so we're going to go have some lunch and head out.
If any of you are Kiwis, I was just on Virgin Blue's website and GC to Auckland, $129 each way (carry on luggage only, you can buy checked luggage for $8 each way) in November. Can't remember the dates I looked at, but that is super cheap!
And V Australia has some really cheap fares to LAX at the moment too, which pi$$es me off, b/c we could have saved almost $1700+ if we'd have waited. But I guess we weren't to know that, and may have ended up paying much more if we hadn't.
Ok enough from me - lunch time!
bb:yelclap: congrats u must feel so proud of yourself
k8y hope u r feeling better today:hugs:
bellaleggos my dh gets some ambitous ideas too at moment he is trying to convince me that we should build a second story on our house:rolleyes:
i have a question too- does anyone else bub get really really shy? dylan can be very social and is alway super smiley but when ever people look at him he turns his head away/buries into me/ tries to back up in his pram lol. im a little bit, well ok a lot worried that he may be starting to avoid eye contact??? he cries if anyone other than me pick him up most times too including nanas sometimes even dh...i know prob just mummies boy. anyone else bub doing this???:confused:

I have the same pram and Sam too faces me ALL THE TIME but it is quite big to cart around and it would be AWFUL for someone who uses pulic transport. How would you hold your baby while disassembling the pram into 2 pieces and then put it onto a bus? Ridiculous! But having a car with a big boot, I love my Strider!
stg, have you looked at the Maclaren Techno? It's a stroller and folds down into one piece easily. I won one but am yet to pull it out. It will be great for when he's a little older or I could start to use it now. The lady in the shop when DH went to pick it up told him it's their best selling pram at the moment and it was worth about $600 but that was a while ago so they may be cheaper now... there are other ones that look the same that are older models too.

Sorry, Sam's far from shy but I think it's something all kids go through as I've seen it OFTEN. LOTS of kids do it I think. I wouldn't worry... It's probably a good thing - Sam talks to anyone that'll listen and often attracts the attention of some really annoying old ladies! :laughing:
Today I left home at 9:15, walked into Parramatta from Rosehill (took 35 mins), then around Parra park, (took another 40 mins or so) sat at Gloria Jeans until around midday, then walked around Westfield, then walked down to the pool when I met Kotakai and got my winning nappy, walked to the post office and sent a fax then walked home. Got home at 1:30 so it was a very active day. :yelclap: I pretty much walked all day except for the hour or so I stopped for a coffee.
I must say Kotakai is looking beautifully pregnant again. Pregnant bellies are soooooo beautiful I think. Next time I hope to get some nice shots of my belly with Sam maybe... that would be nice. And I can't wait to use my Itti Bitti D'Lish! :smiliedance: I'll wash it a few times first but I'm going to give it a go and who knows? Maybe I'll be a cloth convert for the next one. :D
Old boss has jumped at my offer and I'm going in to chat to him sometime soon. They also want help with their newsletters too so that woul be good. :thumbsup:
hi all!
Ems - glad you got the chance to sit down and relax for a while, "recharge the batteries" as it were!
Oconky - well done with the soccer selection! And the holidays sound fab!
MOS - well done on winning yet another comp! Good to hear that you had a big chat with your DH and you are back on the same page with your future goals and plans.
K8y - hope you are feeling a bit better today, and hope Summer's feeling better too.
i have a question too- does anyone else bub get really really shy?
Liams not shy yet. Even when we were in the waiting room at the doctors the other day and he was burning up with a temp, he was still waving and smiling to the other patients!:D
stg, have you looked at the Maclaren Techno? It's a stroller and folds down into one piece easily.
Ive got a Maclaren Techno, and find it really good. The only thing I dont like (and we were told this when we bought it) is that its forward facing only. It was a bit exxy though, around $450 or some such, but we figured we would be getting 4 years use out of it at least.
Well after a terrible night with Liam the other night, where we didnt get to bed until 3am, hes been better today. Still not himself by a long stretch, very tired and drowsy, but the fever has gone down, and hes eating and drinking as usual. Im keeping a close eye on him, but at this stage am just assuming hes making up for lost sleep over the past few days.
Speaking of sleep, I won a copy of "save our Sleep" on ebay, am looking forward to it arriving so I can tidy up Liams routine completely.
Not much other news. Am still fuming about the work situation....... my keycard got declined in the supermarket today - better start getting used to that....:banghead:as it turns out, I was only about $5 short......
OK, I think the cleaning fairies have lost my address, so best go and tidy up a bit. BBL. Take care all!:flowerz:

Ah, I must've missed that post of FB... always have been a bit slow on the uptake :p
MOS - Yay for the working at home with your old boss. Sounds like the ideal situation! :yelclap:
Stg - I've got a VeeBee... bit of a story behind it though... I had some other pram that was given to us... "Voyager" or something. It was good, but kinda big and bulky and heavy. Then Mum went to a friends one day and their neighbour had put this VeeBee on the side of the street for collection because a wheel had fallen off. So Mum's friend's DH put the wheel back on, and bada-bing, good as new. I LOVE it. However, I went to a family shindig of my StepDad's, and a family member there (who coincidently little girl's name is Charlotte :p) said she had one but the wheel fell off :confused: So I don't know if that's a common design flaw? I haven't had a problem with it myself though. It's really easy to fold, nice and light, not too big...
Supermum - Yes, if Khirra's around strange men, typically, she will bury her head in my shoulder, or completely face the other way. Don't worry yourself hun, Dylan doesn't sound like he's showing any ASD signs :hugs: It's such a common thing at this age.
Bella - bit tricky with the swimming lessons! Are you going to keep her at them, or wait for a bit, do you think?
Babywez - I'd love a new pair of sunnies... but before I get them, I have to get contacts again... I've just been lazy since we moved to Perth and didn't get them over there, and haven't since. I miss wearing sunnies though!
Kyles - Aww, nothing worse than the old declined card :hugs: I do know the feeling - our, well, my money was quite tight while DP wasn't working - he's only just started to give me an allowance again - one thing I do hate about not working.
ETA: Supermum - just reread and want to add - Kiss also cries at times if anyone but me picks her up - including DP - he always rolls his eyes and goes 'oh, that's right, Daddy's got germs'. My friends bub is very very impossibly clingy at the moment - won't let her not hold him at ALL, and will not look at anyone else without bursting into tears. She's going nuts, lol.
Hi ladies
Sorry no personals but am just feeling very tired and dreadful :dizzy::sleeping:

:wave:Bye everyone.............................
Busy night tonight so just popped onto say Hi & Bye:D
:raspberry:
xx
Oh yes, farewell BB, we'll miss you. :crying:
And :hugs: to k8y. Relax, get some rest and get your ar$e back in here again soon as it's too quiet without you!
We're going away this weekend IF DH isn't working Sat and IF he gets sent home early enough on Fri. Fingers crossed! Although that would mean less money but I'd love to go away, so just this once pray for minimal shifts! :D
