Hi Everyone,
Long time no post sorry! I tend to read and not post - very poor form!
Belated birthday wishes to all the babies! Beth had a small party with our new Perth playgroup and rhymetime friends and Nanna and Poppa (my parents) flew over for the week. I themed the party on 'A very hungry caterpillar' and had all the food from the book and a butterfly cake. A good time was had by all!
Beth is also not walking, but then she was a late crawler so I think she will be a while. I am thinking about putting her in CC one day a week to give me a break and I am also looking into some work from home income to offset it. I want to make it financially neutral (and a little bit extra wouldn't hurt!)
We are now TTC#2 as of four weeks ago but my buzz has been blighted by my SIL (DH's brother's wife) as he told us last week that they are 13 weeks PG with their #2. I am a tad competitive and feel really annoyed that once again they trump us!! Grrr (background - SIL and I do not have a good r'ship due to her being a %$^&%^%! )
But I am trying to be the bigger person and sent her a congrats email soon after (have had no response - what a shock......)
sorry....bigger person.....right.....moving on.....
Speaking of bigger person as we are now TTC I have decided to try and get a bit fitter so on Monday I am going to checkout a gym that has a creche.
Teagam - I am so impressed with your weightloss! You did it with a PT? You can be part of my motivation! I need to lose 20 to get to the top of my BMI range
Sunshine - congrats on your BFP! Hopefully I am not too far behind - but there is no rush!
Breeze - I hope Beth is as good as Tobias at CC when she goes for the first time! (not that I have booked her in anywhere yet!) I love seeing the photos of him on FB BTW and yay for him starting to walk!!
Charmlea - yay for Gabbi taking her first steps and I hope you are feeling better by now!
Lilias - yay for Liam now walking!! And I hope you are all better now too!!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Ill be whatever motivation you need love! If you let me win scrabble...just the once
I started at Curves..... it is a wonderful gym and helped me loose heaps, i still go two times a week and know it will help me maintain. I only got the PT to do it all quicker! i had 40kgs to loose and didnt want it to take years.... I am not in the healthy to low BMI and my GP was happy for me to stop now.....but just a few more me thinks.... I can send you my eating plan if you want???

Erin, great to hear from you! Good luck with the TTC, I hope it doesn't take you too long & well done on deciding to lose the weight. I too have a bit of weight to lose & when I move back to Sydney I will knuckle down... not doing it yet as I'm so lonely I need my maltesers as comfort food LOL I hope to change my entire lifestyle & diet for the better when I move.
About the walking, Tobias still isn't "walking" only taking steps now & then. Beth is still so young & there's no rush, it's good to see you're going with the flow & letting her set the pace
Thanks for stopping by &giving us all an update, take care

Tegam, yay for ttc no 4!! How exciting for you!
And congrats on your weight loss, way to go!! I'm trying but not succeeding. Having alot of trouble focussing and doing things for myself. And money is an issue, so no gym memberships, weight watchers or personal trianers for me. But I will keep trying, with a bit of persistance I'll get there one day I guess!!
Erin, another ttc! Yay for you guys too. DH is adamant there will be no more bubs for us, alas. But I will live vicariously through my bb buddies, lol!
I need to loose about 20 kgs too, up to 30 even, to be back to my pre baby and ttc weight. It all seems so daunting especially to do on my own. I need to try to focus on baby steps, which is hard for me at the moment!
Jen, hope you had a wonderful day yesterday!! (I think you got married yesterday....or is it today??) Anyway, congrats and I wish you guys all the best!
As for us, well it's just me and the kids this weekend, DH is at a wedding. Kids not invited and I have noone who will look after them for more than 4 hours or so (mum and SIL who are my only options really, will only have them for me when I work which is only 3-4hrs a day, or for 'important' things like dr appointments
But the weather is devine so we might go out for a walk, or just down to the yard out side (we live in a 3rd floor unit). At the mo though I have some time to myself cause for a change the kids are asleep together. THough I'm not looking forward to this arvo becasue DS will be wreaked by the time he goes to bed a 6.30ish tonight! He usually has 2 sleeps a day, at about 9am, then about 2pm, then goes to bed at about 7pm. But this morning the kids were up at sparrows fart, about 5am *yawn!*. So the day is all going to be mixed up! When is day light savings???
Ok gotta go and have lunch in peace! Hope you're all well

Well that didn't take long.........DH is a bit dissapointed that there isn't more practising!
Let's hope this is a nicer pregancy (although I couldn't wish for a nicer baby!!)
BTW those who are Facebook friends please don't meantion it on there. DH and I aren't going to do general announcements until we are in the safe zone. But I am going tell my parents when I go to Melbourne in October!
Gotta go - little miss has woken up.

Hello All,
I am new to the thread as I only just found this one.
My DD was born 18/08/08 and her name is Chloe. Just wanted to stop in and say hello.
Congratulations to those who are TTC, wish you a short journey, and for those who are PG, congratulations...
Not sure what else to say at this stage but I'll try to keep checking in..

hi snowchickie, welcome to our little group. It's lovely to have another member
Jen I hope you feel better soon & the ms doesn't hang around long
Not much happening here, bothkids at daycare today, it's my last day without them both at home before we move next Wednesday so I've been busy packing etc... it's amazing how much you get done without the kids home!!!
I hope everyone is well
Registered User
well hello out there......how is everyone??
We are well. Little man Tom is walking, very cute. Took a few weeks between lots of steps to walking but not the day after that did he feel that its now his job to carry things from one place to another...very helpful LOL
All three kids are sleeping well at the moment.....weird but at the most tom wakes once about 11pm the one of the girls might come down to our bed. Feeling a little weird all this sleep....must be time to have another LOL....
Nothing else is going on really, DH on holidays at the moment. We have another wedding on in mudgee in november. The 6th for the year and 21st in the last 5 years. We figured out if we have spent an average of $1000 on each wedding (flights, accommodation, clothes, gift etc) then we have spent $21,000 in 5 years on other peoples weddings, thats twice what we spent on our own.....nuts hey. Then we have two next year and one of those is in Wales.......getting 5 people over there should be cheap NOT, we also have 4 engaged couples in our close family, so more weddings to come....but on the other hand it is lovely to be there and share that special day with close friends... i shouldnt complain just getting over all the travel with the kids.
Can you believe Santa is just around the corner??? Cant buy much as we are heading to the blue mountains for xmas at the inlaws. But have started a list so i can hit the shops hard and quick when we get down there, it will be in the xmas panic period but lets face it i do most of my shopping then anyway.......
BellyBelly Member
Hi Milly, great to hear from you
Well done with Tom walking!!! Wow @ all the weddings you've been to!!! I've been to 3 in total in my whole life & 1 of those was my own.... one of the others was when I was 12 yrs old, it was my older sisters & I was a flower girl... so really only "attended" or been invited (lol) to 1 wedding in my life!!! hahahaha oh well. Good luck with all your last minute shopping, I cant believe Christmas is so close, its my favourite time of year
Tobias is walking full time now, so cute! I was going through my old videos the other day (on XH's computer) & came across all old videos of Brianna when she was a baby. I'll be posting someon FB. It's amazing the difference between DD & DS as DD was walking at 12 months & jumping at about 15 or 16 months LOLI've got such a cute video of that I have to post!!!
I'm still waiting for someone to re-leasemy place in QLD so I can move into my own unit here in Sydney. I hope it's soon because it's so difficult being here
I also joined the gym but haven't got there much, I need to work out a routine so I make sure I have time to get there a certain amount of times a week... I have to lose this weight!!!!
I hope everyones well
Registered User
Routines are a must if you are going to get any "me" time. There is just too much else that gets in the way. I hope that your place gets leased soon so you can settle into somewhere for a few years, you need a break! Cant wait to see the videos!
Thats only the weddings we have been to together in the last 5 years. I have been to about another 5 before that and we didnt include our own....im guessing ill hit 30weddings before im 40! scary
Did i mention we are TTC! OMG am i out of my mind???

Hi girls,
Sorry I have been MIA. Just not in the mood to post much at the moment. Have been having up and down days. A few down days actually, so I don't feel like doing much of anything!
I have had another friday and saturday night on my own. Over feeling so lonely. I had a meltdown again this morning, so DH took the kids out to buy a birthday gift for a bday we have to go to tomorrow arvo. I hate that it takes for me to meltdown like that before he gets that I'm stressed out. I just had a bath and slept for a while before they came home. I will be going back to the doctor next week to get a referral to a psycologist or something. Tried the eating well, exercise, vitamins thing that the doctor suggested and although it might have helped a bit. it's not enough.
The kids are well (this week!) Lily has just gotten over another double ear infection. More antibiotics and ear drops. Poor baby. She's being very trying too. I think alot of the time she's bored. I try to do stuff with her, but she's wanting me to be with her all the itme and I just can't. Besides the fact that I can't because of my own state of mind, I can't because I have other things I have to do too. And Liam to look after as well. She's throwing tanties alot and screaming and whinging soooo much. I have smacked her a few times, although I am so so trying not to, but I just lose my patience and when I'm telling her not to push Liam for the 1000th time that day and it doesn't work....well I'm sure you guys know what I mean.
Liam is teething and is a bit coughy with a runny nose and the stinkiest poos ever! He also has a nappy rash I just can't get rid of no matter what I do. But he usually gets it when he's teething. (Seriously any doctor which says that teething doesn't cause kids to get sick is an idiot!) He's a menace too, into absolutely everything he can find and he's such a terrible climber. He's stuffed the computer a few times cause he climbs on the table and bashes the keyboard. I now have to put the dining table chairs into the kitchen which is gated off so he can't get them. Such a PITA! He's at the stage where he will pull everything out of drawers and cupboards too, so the kids room is constantly messy with clean clothes and nappies which they have pulled out of the drawers and cupboards. I've stopped going off a them and packing them away now. I leave it till they are in bed and go in then!
Trying to eat well and exercise, not only for my mental health, but I really need to lose weight too. I'm over being so fat. But because I am such an emotional eater, it is proving difficult to keep on track! The exercise is easy, going for a walk on my own is good me time, but the eating, well....lets just say I have just devoured a chocolate bar, and still haven't had lunch :erdface:
Milly, TTC, huh?? Yay!!!!!!! I'm still in two minds if I would like another or not. As Liam gets older the reasons I don't seem to be begining to outweigh the reasons I do. But it's not really even a possibility since DH doesn't want to at all. I would love to be pg again. I have a friend who is pg at work and it's making me clucky. Another girlfriend brought in her 10wk old the other day and OMG....cluck cluck!! Good luck hun, hole to hear a preg announcment soon!!
Danielle, I looked at the photos of Brianna on FB when she was a baby, oohhhh, so cute!! She looks alot like Tobias does now. No denying they are siblings that's for sure!! My two don't really look alot alike at all.
Jen, I hope the ms has gone now....the downside of being pg!!
Hi to everyone else, I hope everyone is well
