[Katstribe]

Thanks Storm sometimes it doesn't feel too gorgeous though! Little bub is sitting sooooo low that i could hardly walk yesterday afternoon and evening!

Has anyone here had trouble downloading pics on here? I have tried soooo many times to put pics on here in the last week or so and it says they are downloaded but then when it comes back to my page they are not there and my folder is empty and i still have full amount of space left!!!!! I don't know what i am doing wrong

Hows everything going Storm? Are you more settled now? How are teh kids handling it all?

Its sooooooo quiet in here hey!

Hey gorgeous lea wow time flies! I hope your wedding goes well and you better put some pics on to show us after! Mind you good luck with that because i have tried for well over a week now and it still won't let me add them! It says they have been successfully added but then when i check there is nothing !!! Go figure!

Hi to everybody else, i can't wait til everybody has time to get back in here as this was my fav thread! Anyway i hope you are all well and hope to chat more soon! Knowing my luck you will all get your b*tts back in here and i will be off having my bub and will miss it all!!!!!!!!!!!

All is going well here, i need to stick a rocket up DH rear end to get him to finish the nursery so Mitchie can get settled before bub arrives! But after a bit of my silence and a few remarks i seem to be getting through to him!

I had a huge day today ( well morning really) after the kids left for school at 7:50am ( they go on a bus) i managed to sweep, vaccume, mop, clean toilet and bathroom and do a load of washing before a friend came over just after 9am and then baked 36muffins to top it off! I was very impressed with my efforts and am feeling it now LMAO!!!!!

Ok well thats it from me for now i hope to hear from you all soon.
Anyone heard how Maz and Mateauz are doing??? I haven't heard anything for a bit so i am hoping all is well!

Update on the goings on in my uterus... ultrasound was all good... nothing there, so just a "suspected" miscarry. I had a normal period, now nothing!! Hope all is well with Maz and bubba, and hello to everyone!! Oh yeah, school being back is ok, but I like the kids being home too!Damn I'm a sucker!!

[savina]

[halltribe]

Hey guys

Gorgeous lea wouldn't it be gret if someone else could our housework for us! I would happily do someone elses if they would do mine!!!
Congrats on another boy too!!!! I think boys are precious, i have the best bond with my youngest boy! Also i reckon that boys are easier to raise than girls! Girls are way too hormonal!!!!!

Kittykat its great to have that one on one time with the youngest hey! Good luck with your studies I am sure you will fit it all in, thats what us mothers do!!! Everything is a juggling act but we get there!

Jesabell its great that you are settling in and loving your new place. Wow its not long til your wedding either! Good luck with the preps hope all goes smoothly for you!

Purplemumma glad everything is ok and hopefully you will be in here posting a BFP soon!

Savina i hope you get passed your morning sickness soon, i had it with this bub and i just dealt with it so sorry i have no ideas for you! Maybe do a google search on it thats what i seem to do for everything! Did that for my leg cramps and found some ideas that seem to be working. SO give it a go. Good luck

Well as for me nothing major happening yesterday was a busy day for me DS had mums and bubs swimming in the morning, then went and had lunch witha friend, then printed newsletters for school and then swimming for girls after school and taking DS to work!!!!!! So i left the house at 10am and didnt get to come home again until 5:30pm!
Now today DS has a doc appoint and physio so busy again! I think thats why i get stuck into housework on mondays, because i know that i don't get to do much on tuesdays or wednesdays!!!!

ANyway take care all. Still no news on maz that i have found! Hope all is going well!

Storm, Soul Maz where are you guys?????????

Hi halltribe yep a little Molly! Congrats on another boy!! Hey there are a few of us UTD in here now! Still waiting on storm to join in!!

[kittykat]

i cant beleive that there are so many bubs on the way you are all making me jeaulous. i really wanted more but DH didnt and the cash was getting really tight with four so regtably we has the old boys snipped i get a little sad at times but the i thinks that the four that i have ( all girls ) is more than enough i they are healthy and happy. Just question has any one here made the whole sea change thing i mean packing up and moving to a whole new scene i have wanted for a while now to move bush just a small town outside of ipswich with small schools ect my eldest does nothing but whinge about hanging out with the friends at the shopping malls and movies she not greatfull for a thing i want to grow with more family values. I could think of nothing more lovley than vegin out kids having more than enough room to play. Its really expensive to move to sell and all just wanted to know what you guys would want for your family.

[gorgeous_lea]

i would love to move to a small country town kath, but i grew up in the country so i know i like it lol
I agree with you about wanting your kids to have better family values, and growing your own vegies and fruit etc, its alot of fun and does bring you together a bit more IMO. But unfortunately the job opportunities aren't as good as in the city. It has always been for financial reasons that it has never happened.

What does your DH think of the idea??

[shazza]

i agree kat girls are way too hormonal
its a crazy house at my house with one already with her af and i think my 11 yr old wont be long and me ive always got mine went to the gyno today hes putting me in for surgery so he can have a look and see whats wrong with me wedding plans are so stressfull im even dreaming about my wedding at the moment im just stressing that im not going to have it paid in time

[kittykat]

DH would love to move at the small town that we want to go to isnt too far from large shopping centres and on the highway so he can get to work easy. its just the cash factor for us i want to do it before the girls get to old before they think its dumb to feed animal and grow vegies imo. Just got word via interent DD 1 just made rep netball again for the second year im happy for her it just means a really busy winter i think i ll take the winter months off work i only work on sat morns i think it will help greatly. Off for the school run i think after i drop in to maccas for a coffee

Wots up girls?? I can't believe this thread was started in December and we're nearly into March and its still going! Gone with the days when we had 2 thread a month!! Very quiet in here.......SPOOKY!

[kittykat]

not sure where eveyone is !! i finallly have sort or worked things out to some sort of routine so i can find me time and it seems everyone else is busy. Well any way Ella slept through last night shes 1 now and it been along time since she has slept through. Im stoked ive dropped her bottle feeds back to 3 a day and heaps for vegies seems to been working i hope this keeps up.

[halltribe]

Routine is a wonderful thing as long as you don't expect it work no matter what! With all our kids you just can't expect everything to go smoothly all the time!!! I am a morning person and if it don't get done before lunch it just aint gettin done at all - my brain turns to mush at 12!!! I am usually up by 5am though.

Hope all you gals out there are behaving yourselves - prob not with most of you up the duff or trying!!!

[kittykat]

Am i reading this right halltribe you are expecting 7th in november my god love if your brain goes to much at lunch your doing better than me. Well the one night of sleep was great havnt had it since lol last night was shocker Ella had a bout 4 hours straight the rest was filled with whinging and crying not sure what was going on but she settled herself by midnight much to the releif of DH as he had to be up at 4am to go to work.
Any way i having trouble with my brother at the moment we arnt talking he has heaps of problems going on in his life mainly with the wife but he blams me for her bad behaviour when she is around me wont bring the kids around becouse i intimidate them with my swearing and yelling at my kids i have 4 so there is a lot of it going on not haivng him in my life really isnt too much drama as he and his wife are more trouble than they are worth it s the kids that suffer my kids miss there cousins but its what he has said to me that i cant get out of my mind i now find myself second guessing my self making sure i dont swear ( we are meat workers it second language) we are middle class people nice house and cars do ok for our selves but he makes out we are red necks i do yell i know this who doesnt i teach kids to swim so i can be a little tough on bigger kids the fuss and stuff about im told i give tough love but people still want me to teach the kids most for 3 or more years now i have heaps of friends and other family i m doubting my self now thats what makes me angry it hard enough in this day to feel good and confident about ones self when you have had 4 kids things are not what they used to be not just body wise but patience and empathy i really tired all the time its a hard job and he just belittles me judges me and point out the things that i do wrong as far as he's concerned. whoo thats feel better sorry im really down about it not that i no longer have him in my life but the things he has said that are damageing other parts of my life
