Fancy meeting you here... How many forums are you a member of? :laughing: :D

[Karizma]

Hello :wave: and welcome to bub hub

[madmumof3]

Hi guys thanks for the warm welcome. Kelli, have we met before? Sorry, I am on quite a few forums. I love meeting up with lots of other mums. I am on another forum that we meet up once a week now and it's great. That's why I joined here to see if there's more.
How's everyone's weekend going?

[Minke]

EB? Last Thursday? :laughing:

There are a few on here - in the north qld section there is a Townsville mums thread.

[~rambox~]

Hi madmumof3,

My name is Rebecca and I also live in Townsville, I am a crazy mum of 4 boys.
Welcome and look forward to chatting.

Cheers Bec :wave:

[madmumof3]

[Minke]

I am a bubhubber at heart - that being said, both the kids have had colds and DH has been working mad hours, getting tax done and blah..... Am glad the week is over! By the time i remember to check the townsville thread, am half asleep. Tell them they haven't scared me, and i will post sometime this week.

Hi Relvy, look forward to chatting

[madmumof3]

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your kids being sick. :thumbsdown:
I hope to see you in the other thread soon. Lorina has had her bubba. She had a little girl yesterday morning:smiliedance: .

Thanks for the warm welcome Rebecca, have you been in townsville long?

Hi Kristy,

I moved to Townsville when I was 14 so I have been here for 15yrs, and would not go back to Sydney to live but I would go for a holiday. How long have you been here??

Bec

[madmumof3]

Hi Relvy,

Hubby, kids and I moved up early Januarly from Brisbane. We were sick of the hustle and bustle of brissy.
Where abouts in Townsville are ya?
I am in Kirwan.

Kirsty

[~rambox~]

I live in kelso up near the dam. It is so peaceful up here. What does your hubby do for a living mine is a Bricklayer.

bec:smiliedance:

[madmumof3]

Hi,

Hubby works for Tradelink Plumbing. We went for a drive out to the damn a few weeks ago. It is nice out there.

[Minke]

ohhh, what did she call her bub?

[madmumof3]

Kelli: Lorina called her bub Keysha. She even went home yesterday!!!! She is superwoman!

[Minke]

i've never knew there was a dam at Kelso? :laughing: Last time i lived here I spent most of my time in the city (lived in West End). I think i've seen more of townsville in the 1 month i've been back then 5 years we were here before! (we've been driving around looking at land:rolleyes: )

[Minke]

Hospital, after having a baby should be viewed as a holiday! I stayed five night both times!:D

[madmumof3]

Kelli: I stayed for 5 days with my 1st DD, 3 days with my 2nd DD and not even 48 hours after DS. They were all c-sections too.

[Minke]

that would be why your username is 'mad' mumofthree :D ;)

[~rambox~]

I was going to stay the whole 5 days with No: 4 but I missed the other 3 so much I only stayed 2 days.
After being home for an hour i wanted to go back :laughing:

[Minke]

I had to stay in with DS - blood transfusions 2 days after i had him (c-section), so they wanted to keep an eye on me, but with DD who was natural (no complications) I stayed the whole five days in an attempt to not spend time with my MIL! That sounds nasty, but really i am a nice person.... :D

Relvy - where did you have your boys?

[~rambox~]

I had all 4 at Wesley Park Haven. Beautiful hospital and I got the family room this time round which is like a mini motel room. What about you?

[madmumof3]

lol Kelli, I was mad way before the kids came along....ask DH lol.

I liked having a night with just me and DS when he was born. That's all I wanted. Had him on late wednesday afternoon and went home early Friday morning. YAY! I hate hospitals.

[Minke]

Had DD at the Townsville Mater - had Dr Steve. DS was born at Mackay Mater. The townsville mater was far better, but no more for me... ;) I didn't know they did deliveries at Park Haven?

[~rambox~]

Yeah, They are also almost complete with their huge bath so you can have a water birth there.:thumbsup:

[Minke]

I can't imagine four boys! Do you get asked all the time if your going back for one more "to try for a girl"?

One of my friends has four girls :eek: and is just preggers with her fifth and everyone keeps saying how nice it would be if she got a blue one! She said she's so used to having girls she'd faint if it came out with a willy! (and she'd said she'd have to buy a small pair of tongs :laughing: ;) )

[~rambox~]

I am the same, i would not know what to do with a girl. I am thinking about one more :banghead: but i dont care what it is.

My boys r real boys as they find dead animals and bury them under my stairs arrrrgg :mad:

[madmumof3]

So what's everyone up to tonight?
Hubby just left with the eldest to the cowboys game....*sigh*.

I am sooooooo bored. lol

[~rambox~]

I have a friends 30th to attend.:smiliedance:

[Minke]

My hubby is at work, so just me and the kids. I am used to Saturday nights at home...

Relvy - if you ever need to see the other side you can borrow my princess (as she likes to be called). She is the ulimate in girly-girl - have no idea where she came from (i was always a tomboy) think she must get it from her father :laughing:. I now go to dancing three afternoons a week! And she has the attitude going already at 5! (we've started saving up for boarding school!)

[madmumof3]

I am having my own little party here tonight...just me and my imaginary friends lol

[Minke]

Sounds like fun... Its what i do every weekend!

[madmumof3]

lol Kelli. We have hubby's parents coming up next friday. I can't wait for that. A whole weekend full of stuff to do...yay!!!!!!

[Minke]

Off to have a coffee while Jack is still asleep.....

Talk to you soon

Kelli

[madmumof3]

No worries, cya :wave:

[~rambox~]

I am having my own little party here tonight...just me and my imaginary friends lol

Good mroning so did you enjoy your party with your friends last night :laughing:

I had a hard time last night being around all those smokers. I wanted one so bad but I didn't give in Yippee for me.

Hope you have a great day.

Bec :wave:

[Minke]

So Relvy, i assume you have just given up? How did you do it? Am seriously considering it at the moment (am so sick of spending $150/week on nothing...)

[~rambox~]

I have to be honest I was put on a drug called Zyban. Talk to your Gp about it cause it works wonders. 15 days now

[madmumof3]

Hey ladies,

How's everyones week going so far? Mines not too bad. We have DH's parents up this weekend, can't wait:smiliedance: . They are great. Hope your having a great day.

Kirsty

[Minke]

****... Chloe is still not well (read runny nose), so have had her home from school.

:yelclap: On a brighter note - got my Trolley monster today! Bit excited (won it off ebay the other day) it is so cool!

Other than that, have to go shopping tomro for bubby present - my friend had a boy the other night, and pick up my quit smoking book (which apparently works - i want to know if it works if you have a five year old who likes the sound of her own voice! :laughing: )

Congrats Relvy for quitting, do you still get the mood swings and cravings with zyban?

Talk to you later, Kelli

[madmumof3]

Hi,

Sorry to hear that Chloe isn't well. I hope she clears up soon. What's a trolley monster?

[Minke]

It's one of those things that fits into the front of a trolley... to stop the kids from sucking on germs.

[~rambox~]

Hi Girls,

Sorry haven't been on for a few days my computer crashed. No I didn't get mood swings or cravings whilst on the Zyban. I feel so much healthier for quitting and my hubby is also going to give it a go.

I also have a Trolley Monster and connor didn't get half as many sicknesses as the older two did when i didn't have it.

I Have a new Nephew that was Born Yesturday :smiliedance: He was two weeks over and weighed 9pd 2oz :eek: They Named Him Cooper Dane. I also Have my Sister in labour at the moment and she is also having a boy and guess what his name is ........... Yep Cooper John:laughing: at least i wont forget their names.

I will let you know how much Cooper 2 weighs when he graces us with his presence.

Talk soon
Bec :wave:

[Minke]

Relvy - :laughing: Will have to tell my friend about the Coopers - her boy was born on Sunday night, 8lb 9oz and his name was.... Cooper John! (She's in Hervey Bay atm, but will be moving up here next year...) I didn't realise it was that popular! BTW love all your boys names!

DH and I are getting serious about the quitting smoking thing... I have a cough that doesn't really go away, and it just costs sooo much! DH keeps telling me to imagine all the stuff I could buy if I gave up (am also addicted to shopping :D )

Better go, Jack is cracking...

Kelli

[Minke]

Some of the townsville mums might be organising a meet if you guys are interested - the how are the townsville mums thread. Don't know if you've already met them Relvy?

[~rambox~]

Kelli
I haven't met any of them yet unless they were at a Tupperware Metting i was at. My sister had bub he weighed 7pd 10oz and Charlie John because he is a mini version of his dad and his dads name is Karl. Charlie is german for karl.

Bec :smiliedance:

Talk care :hugs:

[Minke]

So are you going on Sunday? I hate things like this... But i have to get out to meet people!

Hey, forgot to ask, where do your boys go to school (if you don't mind me asking). Chloe is at Aitkenvale Preschool at the moment, but Cranbrook Preschool has a vacancy, have you heard good or bad about either?

[madmumof3]

Hi Kelli,

I don't know if you remember but when I was talking about the bad meet, that was with one of the chicks from here........


Kirsty

[~rambox~]

Hey Girls,:wave:

No i wont be going today. I have to take Shawn to a birthday party and visit my sister in hospital.
Kelli- as for Cranbrook Primary school two of my nephews go there one is in Yr 1 and the other in Pre-School and they have had no problems at all. Sounds like a good school.

Hope you guys are doing well and I will talk with you both again soon.

Your Forum Buddy
Bec :hugs:

[madmumof3]

Hey,

My daughter goes to Cranbrook Primary and I think they are great. I haven't had a problem with them at all and neither have my other friends who's kids go to the same school.

Kirsty

[Minke]

We're going to go and have a look tomorrow. I'm just hesitant in moving Chloe again, although if it as good as everyone said, it will probably be worth it. Thanks everyone

Hey Kirsty, what grade is your daughter in?

[madmumof3]

Hi,

Kelli: My daughter is in grade 2.


Kirsty

[Minke]

Will let you know how it goes...

Bec have pm'd you...

Kelli

[Tannie]

I don't know if you remember but when I was talking about the bad meet, that was with one of the chicks from here........

Umm - I don't mean to butt in on private conversations.......but what is this about and is it me? cause I would not like to think that people are not going to turn up to actually meet and make friends because of something said in another thread or something? :(
If possible - please explain?
Y

[madmumof3]
