Hey Ladies...

Not much to report on my end, Anneliese is just cruising along, getting so big... (she's still tiny, even compared to most of your babies...) she's starting to lift her head up more, and she's such a giggler. Her personality is really starting to emerge now :)

Hope everyone's going great :)

Hi girls
As usual I'm so sorry I have been MIA. My computer died so I have just gone out and got myself a beautiful new laptop. At mums using her internet because I have just organised to get broadband and it will prob take about a week to get the modem in the mail to set it up. I can't wait! I have my wireless router ready to go, so now I'm just waiting!!!!!! Soon you won't be able to get rid of me.

William gave me a scare on Friday. He was making some funny noises so I called Nurse On Call thinking they would send me to the chemist for something. They listened to William on the phone and sent an ambulance! I was beside myself!! By the time the ambulance got to me he had stopped the noise (he had been doing for 2.5 hours!) So they have put it down to colic. He has never had any probs before with wind, but I suppose there is a first for everything.
But William is fine now and I'm sure it's not the first time he will have me freaking out!

How are your bubbas going??

Sarah

HEy sarah - love your ticker pic, William's such a cutie :)

Its so quiet in here!!

Well I hope you are all hanging out in here more when I get my broadband connected. Having this wireless internet on the laptop is awsome and I think I could get pretty addicted!

I spend a lot of time online, im addicted... on here is the only mates i have... im pretty isolated!!

BB is addictive... it should come with a warning!!

Hey girls! I didnt realise we had a new thread!!! been thinking no one was posting today... :o

I changed my name btw its lucysmummie now...got bored with shinee....

Kat~ definatly worth seeing me thinks! I loved it a good laugh thats for sure! danny got back yesturday! I was just about to rip my hair out!!!!
Simone~ Yay for annalise!!! its great when they start to do more!

Sarah~ wondered where u had been? glad to hav u bak! golly that would of been an ordeal when they freaked out!!!!

Me~
Took luc to the doctors today...the reflux she is getting annoying she is just chucking everywhere ALL the time but is putting on weight nicley so they werent worried.. i think I had just had enough cause I went to this shop with this old lady and she wanted to hold lucy so i let her and she chucked in her shop and I think she got cranky...so yea today has been a bit kinda stressful so yea.... Its weird some days I just cant cope? I joined a gym this morning tho and its good cause it has a creche and they look after luu so well..when i got back from a work out she was dead to the world!

anyways gotta go feed the poo machine! I dont think she even got the nappie when she did a poo today it was all up her bak!

Hey girls and beautiful babies!

Sarah - it'll be great when you get broadband, it's soooo much quicker than dial-up!! OMG about sending an ambulance for William! that must have scared you so much! glad to hear he is okay though.

Simone - good that Anneleise is getting on well :-)

Leah - I wondered who the new member was - then realised it was you, ha haaa! okay, might have to go and see that movie.......

Lucas has just woken up so had better go.....we had our second mother's group yesterday, talked about sleep and settling techniques - we use most of them already though, made me realise that Lucas sleeps pretty well compared to some of the babies there!!!!!

HI girls!

not much to report here, i cant remember what i wrote on my last post!!! The biggest news this week is that Emilia has moved down into her own room and in a cot! She was too big for bassinet and she was waking early in our room as when the sunrises our room is lit up and woke her so now she is in her own room downstairs and its darker for alot of the day. After Emilia's week of hell when she had her 8 week needles she has turned a major corner, she is even happier than before and she hasnt had a night since that she has woken before 5am, infact its more like 6am now... am i pushing my luck by wishing for 7!!!? mind you my boobs couldnt make it to 7! but before they didnt make it to 5 so they are getting used to it! We are swimming twice a week which she really enjoys!

I also joined the gym i feel so much better being more active now!

we have started to discuss when we might try again and we think it will be around april, however we would like ot get to New York next year for DH's cousin's wedding so if that happens we might wait till August as couldnt imagine anything worse having a 1 year old bub and being pregnant and travelling all that way! it was hard enough going to Europe this year 20 weeks pregnant!

Kat so happy to hear Lucas's sleep has improved!!!

Sarah whoo hoo for broadband, its brilliant (i couldnt live with out it!)

Simone any luck with your TTC!??

Dh and i are half heared trying, i guess if it happen it happen, if not... Well oh well, i guess. Dh is so clucky, trying to keep him off me is a challenge sometimes LOL. I travelled when i was 8 months pg and a 18 month old, and that wasnt too bad, but it was only from perth to melbourne, not a marathon flight across the world...

STOP TALKING ABOUT TTCING!!!! U girls are crazy crazy!!!! although..... Danny is already talking about it...me not to keen...ew gross cant think about it! OUCHIE!!!!! ah oo ah!!! Id have to have needles too starting from 20wks and that wont b fun but danny suggested when lu is 18mths which seems pretty good... dunno touchy subject!

Kat~ I was gonna go to my mothers group but couldnt b bothered! I already kinda know alot Lucy is nealy 3 1/2 months it would of helped 3 months ago!

Dannik~ YAY for emilia!!! she sounds like such a content bubba! Ive been told by lots of ppl cause lucy is so good that u ALWAYS get a devil child! hope for our sake all our bubs are good! ALSO I joined a gym too! HOW good is going to the gym again!!!!! SO good!

Well lu slept from 2 till 5:30 this arvo and has been sleeping till 6am danny has to wake her up to feed her cause he goes to work at 7 so he wakes her up and then she gets cranky cause she actually IS hungry! apart from everything else she didnt have much reflux today but she has only had 3 feeds 1 more to go which is a total of 720 mls WHICH equals to 6 120ml feeds! so not sure what to do cause she never wakes up for a feed or cries for a feed... mmm she has been putting on heaps of weight so I spose there isnt a problem and if she was hungry she would b crying...?

Where off to coffs harbour on thursday nite so Im out of action from thursday till monday..Also geting my hair done on thursday YAY cant wait!

Leah - Lucas is obviously a piggie compared to Lucy!! lol!! he has 5-6 bottles a day of 180mls, and will sometimes want 60mls more........as you said, as long as Lucy is putting on weight and has plenty of wet and dirty nappies, I think she's fine :-)
You lucky thing going away, have a great time my sweet!!

Danni - helloooo! where have you been?!!!! it sounds like Emilia is still being great for you, how good she sleeps so long during the night.

Lucas is being quite good today with his sleeps, had a nap this morning and having a longer one this afternoon - it's great i'm actually getting him to have 2 naps a day, as last week he'd only have one!!

Hello to everyone else!

I have no idea how much Anneliese eats, she's demand fed. One day i should see how much my little piggie eats... I cant believe she's almost 5 months old, she's still only just into 000's!!

HEy to all, cant believe how quiet it is in here...

Leah - your trying to trick me but as soon as I saw Lucy`s pic I put two and two together LOL

Welcome Fiona :)

Dannik - Yay for Emilia being a big girl in her cot

Kat - Glad your enjoying your Mother`s Groups, we don`t have one in this area (booHoo).

Hello to everyone else.

Had our Bonnie Babes photos taken on Tuesday, got some lovely photos of the boys. Adrian is going ahead in leaps and bounds, he laughs out loud so often now he just has to look at me and laugh LOL, he made the photographers job very easy. Everywhere I go I`m told the same - that Adrian is such a good boy, here I was worried he`d be a devil after Matthew being so good but Adrian is just as good if not better if that`s possible.

WEll, another beautiful day in MElbourne... Its pouring where i live, my poor washing (kids clothes and cloth nappies) are getting an extra clean :) Guess its just the indise of the house getting a clean today!!

Simone - ha, a beautiful day in Melbourne?!! lol!!! I guess we need the rain though....

Dee - it sounds like Adrian is doing really well :-)

Gosh, some days there is just no one in here!!!!! shall go and talk to myself then!!!!!
