Catch up with your old thread HERE

Hmmm, I changed him often enough from 5.15 til 6.45 to fill a bucket. He is being a real wee monster at the moment... I even caught Jen calling Tresillian thinking it might be a UTI (though he certainly isn't in any pain when he's doing it) - so there were changes that didn't involve goals :p

Had our last Parents Group today - we are meeting again next Wednesday arvo at the local Gloria Jeans... Jen may not go to that one as she knows the owner (used to work in her industry, and didn't know she was pregnant, regardless of how many times he saw her at the shopping centre)

And Jordy has put on 200g in the last week :D


Now time for bed

Good evening all!!

Charlie is a boofa too - he weighs 6.3kg I like him being chunky and flubby - he is soo cute!!

Well his little doodle is nearly back to normal, my GP was very nice and rang me 3 times during the day to check he was ok. I will have to find a new GP soon as mine is going to england to live. Buggar!!! i like him he os very straight to the point.

Hope that everyone has a lovely weekend -
We are off to netball all day tomorrow and then we are taking charlie out to tea with us tomorrow night for Gavin's work do. i can't wait to show him off. I love showing him off.

Mum and i went shopping today, mum always spends soo much money on Charlie - he is there only grandchild and my brother isn't having any choldren, so she spoils him rotten!!!we love it he got 4 new outfits the most beautiful blanket.

Will take some photo's of charlie this week end and put them on my web page.

Geez its quite in here!!!

Just thought we would check in before we go to netball. - its raining outside - not looking forward to playing in the rain.

I'll check in tomorrow - hopefully some one will have been on and written something :(

something



well that was all I was gonna write, but it complained about my message being too short

Hmmpf after having rotten connection to the net ALL day, with one very peeved partner as saturdays are her work day, I rebooted the modem earlier today, nup that didn't fix it... just now I rebooted another part of the home network - cool, all fixed (oopsie)

Um whatelse... Jordy has been saving all his poo's for Jen lately, til today - twice I got it. First time was overnight, just as I was putting his nappy on out it started... Had to roll his change table back to our bedroom so I could take the bottle out of the hot water before ti heated it too much

Then later today, he had an explosive frog (our name for farting)... after he finished feeding I guess I should say I'm glad I remembered he'd done it, as there was definitely an explosion in there


We are off to Melbourne for a week or so in the next couple of weeks, stopping into Canberra for about 2 days (my colleagues want me to come down for a few things, and also to show off "mini-me") - so rather than loading up the car twice, well stop in canberra maybe 3 nights and continue from there. That's 2 hours less travelling... dunno if we'll need to stop somewhere else on the way down - but stopping at Tocumwal/Finley on the way home to visit my relo's in Toc and Jen's rel's in Finley (yes our families do know each other before we knew each other)

Playin netball in the rain in the cold, ur keen Jacci. :)

Off to a picnic shortly, our 2nd meet up with antenatal class from hosp.

Shell - Ended up playing 2 games - it rained in the fist one and then it was nice for the second one - not that that mattered coz i was already wet!

Not very exciting in here at the moment!!!!

Charlie and i have a boring day planned. we had a nice sleep in together till 10.30am and now i am going to get my stitches out.(bloody ingrowns!!) then we are cleaning the house- BORING!!!!! oh yeah and we have to go to the supermarket.

Hi All! I've been MIA for a while coz my internet connection has been dodgy for some reason and it just han't been worth the effort. I haven't read everyone's posts but I will soon.

Josiah is doing really well, except he's got a bit of a snuffly nose. He's sleeping great, feeding even better - had his needles last thursday and it didn't even faze him. Only bad news is that I start work next week - only 2 days a week, but work nonetheless.

Anyway better go and get dressed, its 10.30 and I'm still in my pj's...shopping day for me too Jacci.

Bel

Bel

Hi ladies

Jac & Bel, we've opted (well Jen has) for Woolies Home Delivery/Shopfast thing - I know it isn't available everywhere... but boy do their individual prices suck... Sometimes I reckon I could save $50 in the shop from prices I know of

Though now we've removed the nappies and formula from those orders, it's not too bad.


Hope you get the sleep issue sorted Theresa (and I noticed your username change too)

Spent 3 hours in the outdor spa last night - hmm, that was nice - was with a friend from over the road, Jen was tooo zonked to join us. I think we solved some of life's little mysteries between us :p (no alcohol involved either). Allowed me to get to know Sarah a little better, good to know if she's gonna be doing some nannying of Jordy

food shooping - wasn't that bad. it is heaps easier without gavin. he keeps putting crap that i don't need in there.!!!!! charlie just lay there looking around

we had gavin's work do on saturday night. Charlie was soo well behaved we were there for 4 hours and he didn't cry once he didn't sleep just sat in his pram smilling at the world. every one was very impressed at him.

well the litle bugger is trying to do a poo whilst i am holding him, i love his facial expressions they are so funny his head goes bright red.hehehe

does he grunt Jacci ?? Jordy does

Oh, forgot to mention, on Saturday, we got a first proper laugh - theres been a few sortta attempts previously but wow !!

I got a full on giggle out of Charlie on Sunday, abs! Cutest sound I've ever heard I reckon. Now he belly laughs at everything!

And yes, our young man can finally push himself up on his hands. He doesn't like doing it though! And no sign of rolling over at all! Lol!

Jacci, the only way Charlie will sit quietly in his pram is if it's outdoors and in motion! The minute it goes indoors (like a shopping centre) or stops, he starts grizzling. Obviously I got the fussy 'Charlie' rofl!

Helllo everyone!

Well, Lil' Bear has been asleep for a bit, and I am sooo sick of cleaning the house ready for the Real Estate Agents to come through tomorrow so thought I would call into my favourite webpage to see how the bub's are going.

Giggles - you guys are sooo lucky! Amber has giggled once in her sleep, but I cant for the life of me get her to do it when she's awake and actually laughing at something.

Lisa (I think it was) we're moving back to Perth within the next month and a bit or so, depending on when the house sells. As long as I am back there for September because I'm bridesmaid for a wedding again. I am really looking forward to being back around the family. We're moving in with Mum and Dad for a bit until we find a house or build one. I think we are leaning towards building at the moment.

Abs/Jacci - Amber gets a great lil' red face and grunt on when she's pooing - it's so cute. The look of relief on her face when it's all over is priceless!

Anyway, must get back to the cleaning whilst Bear is still asleep :(

hehe Sooz, Sarah, the helping hand was here this arvo and she asked what this grunting sound was all about and then got a whiff of it... hehe, she soon worked it out :p

I was about half an hour off finishing work and to then do a bath... so we cleaned him up and bathed him (Jen was out visiting a client) - a feed, and now he is passed out asleep

hi all.

just letting u know im still here but in syd at the moment catching up with friends and fam.

been here since thursday and here until monday. its been great so far but tiring for the both of us.nixon was great on the plane slept the whole way!
he was weighed a week ago and was 3.68kg up 320g in 2 weeks. he is a very chucky baby so good he is still putting on weight.

my sister has her bub alyssa she is 4 days younger but fair bit bigger. nixon is now what she was born.
my friend in melb had baby boy on sat. Xavier, but i wont get to see them till i am home now. he was 8p 14oz they cant belive he is bigger then nixon now! will b good to have a play mate Nixon & Xavier will b the X men!!!

hope your all well sorry no personals mums pc slow and crappy and keep loosing everything i write. so just reading and catching up.

abs - he makes big grunts when trying to poo. then u see instant relief.

sleeping - i don't know what happened to charlie last night but he woke up at 1.30 instead of 4.30 but then he went back to sleep till 6am and then fed and then to sleep till 10am - not that it bothered me.
For those babies who have a set sleep routine - do they sometimes have bad nights? does there routine go awol.

Bel - bad luck about going back to work!

well we better go for walk before it rains.

jac & charlie

every now and then, the routine definitely goes awol Jac

Everyone go have a look in the Baby General Discussion forum, the thread So Proud - especially for those of us with #1 bubs. It lists things others are so proud of the kids for.... (most are talking about their kids of like 1yr and up etc) - things to look forward to :D
