Ooooo trish.... Here I was thinking you were back for a chat, but you were doing mod duties!! Hope you're well, how's business coming along?

At least one of us is doing a good job at modding :P

Sorry girls i am so slack! Having no laptop and the pc down stairs is really ruining my online life lol! will catch up soon xxx

Sorry for not posting much lately! I'm flat out getting everything organised for the new biz (which is going really well BTW :D). I spent 4 1/2 hours on Saturday doing a photoshoot so I'll have nice new photos for the new website. I have someone in the US doing the website and I can't wait to see how it all turns out!

The kids are all well. Joel went back to school today now that school hols have finished. I love having Joel home, but I don't miss all the shenanigans that come along with having him home full time haha! It's so much quieter today with just the little ones home. K and A get on so well, they're great little friends and play together really well. A put herself to bed for her nap (she scales her change table and climbs into her cot :lol:) and K insisted on going in and saying "nigh-night" to her, nawww... A waved and said "Nigh night Kieree", I love how they love each other :). Joel on the other hand can be mean to K, but dotes on A. It breaks my heart when he is mean to little K :(. I guess it's just a "boy" thing and Joel feels a bit territorial? He and K can have a LOT of fun too though :).

Mo - How are you finding life with three?
Saffi - Nice to hear from you :). It's funny how girls are so insistent on what they will or won't wear haha!
Julia - How are you guys going?
Amber - :hello: Counting down the days 'til you're in Melbs!!
JM - How are you now you're all settled back in at the jungle?

Better run, got to proof read some site content (*yawn*...). Talk to you all soon!

Life is getting better, going out is still a nightmare but i'm getting there.

So glad your business is doing well :D

Amber you need a laptop we miss you!

Jules how you doing?

Counting down the days too Trish and Mo!!!!! Ange will you be in melb when I am down???

Am thinking we might get an ipad? What does everyone think?

I'm thinking it's a necessity Amber ;).

You'll get there Mo, you're doing a great job :D

IPad amber.... Do it! Lol!! Bbl ladies xxx

Just cause you said so Jules I will do it for you :P

My dream baby is becoming a screaming refluxy baby.
I knew it was too good to be true lol

Oh no Mo! Poor baby and poor mummy :hug:. Did M or K have reflux?

Amber - You MUST have an iPad so we can chat more!!! Isn't that reason enough?! :nahnah:

Aww hun she may just be "waking" up :hug: XXX

I dunno the nurse said it's sound like reflux.
She has all the signs but she doesn't vomit but she does possetting after each feed without fail.
Last night she woke for her normal feed & then we spent the next 4hrs with her screaming because she wanted to comfort suck after each chuck up & of course the comfort feeding just made it worse because she would just chuck up again.
We tried the HAB & waling around but nothing helped.
It's was a shocker of a night.
Going to try a dummy today & see if that helps. As much i really didn't want to go down the dummy path i can't keep giving her the boob for comfort as it just doesn't do her any good.

I really do hope it's just a phase & she out grows it quickly.

:hug: Mo I hope she settles soon poor bubba! What about a nice deep bath when she is super upset? Just dont fall asleep :P

So where and when are we meeting when I come to visit girls????

Saturday or Sunday would be best for me as i don't want to tackle 3 kids in the city on my own lol

Yay for an iPad amber.... Not that I have one.... But I've convinced dh to get me an apple for my photography, and then I'll be after the iPad too!

Mo - poor you :( I hope little Bambi gets over it quickly. The dummy should help... That's what they say! Big hugs

Trish so nice to hear things are already starting well with your business! So exciting!

Well I'll be back tomorrow. It's late here now! Maxys birthday tomorrow!!! Eeeek! 4 years old!!

Seeing as it's the 12th here already, Happy 4th birthday Max!

Been awhile since anyone has posted so thought i'd give us a bump.

Not much happening here, Bambi is doing really well & getting so big.
She is already more alert & smiling. I can't believe she is almost 5wks old already :O
Maddi & Kodi are doing well, both girls have been sick but are getting better.

Hope everyone is well :D

Hey mo! Wow.... 5 weeks already! That's just craziness!

Oh and thanks for relaxys birthday wishes. His drum kit is a total hit!!! Pardon the pun!

I wish I could get into BB again..... But I'm a bit over it! I only check it on my phone now....maybe we should create a fb group?? My may 2010 girls have one and we chat more on there than here anymore!

Jules we have one for Bambi's group as well, it's much easier.
Maybe i'll start one :)
