Firstly welcome Hypnoharmony and Jack.
Congratualations Michelle on your darling nephew Danial, hope he doesn't turn out like every other Daniel I know, my brother is Daniel and he was a litttle terror.LOL I bet you are clucky, time to get started I reckon. Sounds like you have a busy schedule like me, this week is quiet but next week we have the Chn's hospital for Jessica's eye on Monday, Jordan has a netball day camp in Parkville on the weds to Fri, Josh has a party on the weds in Tullamarine, the bb meet is on Thurs in Werribee, and I want to go to the parents/babies/kids expo in Carlton on the Fri too, and after that I have to go to Parkville for the netball presentation for Jordan. And Jordan also has an excursion with the netball club on the sunday to watch the Kestrels play. We are going to be exhausted. Joshua very kindly passed all the germs to me and Arron and Jemma and Jessica, he is a little better but the rest of us feel very crappy worse luck.
Von- Sorry to hear that natasha hasn't been sleeping well, I found that when Jessica was waking like that it was cos she was cold. Does natasha wear a sleeping bag? How fast does a year go when you have kids? You will be outta here soon, but don't think you'll get rid of me, I'm already there with Jemma LOL. And I still cry and I am up to my 4th. I remember with my 2nd crying cos I had to put the girls clothes away, and Arron asking didn't I want a boy. I did but it was sad to put the stuff away. I haven't had to put stuff away after Jemma but now once jessica wears the stuff it will go away forever, or at least until I become an Aunty and don't you worry I will be bawling my eyes out.
Pee- hope the tooth doesn't hurt too much. Good luck with buying a house. What sort of job are you looking for, is Dh going to be doing the same or will he continue to study? Does that mean you are deferring your course?
Kellee- Welcome back, bummer about MIL not being able to take Charlie, but at least you did the next best thing. And lol at being all over each other, I think that's great, who cares if people look, at least you guys are showing your love, it should happen more often I reckon. Boy Charlie is cut (checked the website) and you weren't kidding oabout the popups. LOL
Well my microwave is stuffed so no heating anything up here including bottles and also no sterilising. Arron is etting a new one today cos we can't live without it. What a pain, not what I want to spend money on that's for sure.
Gotta run
gotta get to the bank bf it closes and kids still haven't had lunch
Cheers michelle
-
Oh Kellee Charlie is gorgeous!! He reminds me of Ryley- big big smile :)
Michelle I am going to defer- dont know how long for though. I am going to an interview tomorrow for a f/t trainee manager job at Coles. It's a start. 8-[
DH is going to keep studying and looking after Ryley coz we cant get him into f/t day care at the moment. But i would prefer DH studies coz he really loves it. I have never worked f/t before so i dont know what it is like.. I am a bit scared actually. No more netball during the day- lol
Bummer about your microwave Michelle. We only just got a new one too. Cant live without them can we!
Welcome Hyphnoharmny and Jack.
Even though I am only 24 I was an 80's fashion victim too!!
Take Care all
-
Good luck witht he interview for the job Pee. It will be good for you to get some experience, then maybe you and DH can swap roles later on. How long can you defer for, cos you wouldn't want to waste what you have already achieved. I think you will really enjoy being out in the workforce, you'll have to play netball at nights.Lol
Microwave is all brought and up and running, $225 for the 1100w Sharp Carosel, it is stainless but the sort that doesn't mark. Now Arron says we need the stainless fridge LOL as if that's gonna happen, when we finally do need a new fridge we are going to have to think aboiut it cos the spot for the fridge is way small and not many fridges will fit in it.
Better go and get ready for bed, I am so tired all the time and it's not a good thing.
Best wishes Michelle
-
LMAO- I have come back cos I re read my earlier post and realised I should have wirtten Charlie is so cute! not Charlie is cut! Sorry Kellee, that's what you get when you rushlOL.
CHARLIE IS SOOOOOO CUTE!
Best wishes Michelle
-
LOL about Charlie being cut. I don't think he'd like that very much! He's asleep now, but for how long is anyone's guess... he woke up after about 25 minutes screaming about something, but I had a sneaking suspicion that he would go back to sleep and after 10 minutes he did! He hasn't done that since he was about 4 months old! It's great because it means he'll be in a good mood when he wakes up.
Bugger technology, Mitch. Can't live without it, pain in the arse to live with it.
Good luck for the job interview, Pee. I hope all goes well. I am a big believer in karma - if something doesn't happen it wasn't "meant" to - so if you don't get this one something else will come up, for sure. How's your tooth?
Thanks for checking out the website, gals. Still trying to get my technophobic family to visit it - I created it mainly for them so they can keep updated, but they're slackos. I went to all that work and everything... :evil: :D
I have a blog now too. I was going to write about the same thing in here as I did in my blog, so I'm going to be lazy and cut and paste...
I really do have to stop buying parenting magazines. I read them a lot when I was pregnant, and I saw a 2 for 1 deal on one of the publications the other day and couldn't resist buying them. The last time I read one was was through the haze of sleep deprivation when Charlie was about 2 months old, so I wasn't gagging to have another one at that particular time. But reading them now is bringing out all these feelings in me that I have never experienced before. It's very different feeling clucky when you already have a child, as you know how beautiful the whole thing can be. I was reading an article on breastfeeding that had pictures of a mother feeding a newborn, and I felt this deep ache inside, like something was missing. DH is pretty keen on having another one too (or maybe he's just keen on practicing to have another one...) so the lucky thing will be practicing with gusto until it pays off. I will keep you updated.
I am SOOOO clucky right now it's not funny. Doesn't help that Charlie is so cute and I want to make him a little friend to play with! I really hope I get pregnant soon.
Anyway, enough about me. Hope that you're all really well and that your bubs are being good to you. Chat soon.
- Kellee.
-
Sorry, forgot to say a big HELLO to HypnoHarmony and Jack. Look forward to chatting with you soon.
-
hi all
welcome hypnoharmony and jack come and chat to us we just love to talk lol.
kellee - i am a sucker for those magazines too lol i actually was looking at buying another today but couldn't remember if i had it or not, so i bought new idea for some trashy goss lol. come and join us in the pre ttc forum, hopefully we are going to start ttc in september (i conceived ds when dd was 1 and it was a really good age gap). it is really hard when the bubs are so cute and settled etc you really yearn for another. i am so clucky it is crazy i really could of just taken my new nephew and ran lol have another 2 babies due soon golly gosh what am i gunna be like lol. i love being pregnant, i love the whole birth experience and i just adore newborns ohhhhh i want another lol. i have started charting to just really for fun as i have never done it before, thought i would have a go.
pee - good luck for the interview. you will go great and be one step towards getting a house. great your dh is going to look after ryley that should make things a little easier. how's the tooth?
michelle - yay on the new microwave. we too have a stainless steel dishwasher and microwave and got a new stainless steel fridge last year when preg with lani (i always seem to get a major appliance when preg lol - 1st was a new washing machine, 2nd a dishwasher and 3rd a new fridge) the fridge is great and it doesn't show fingerprints.
okay girls hate to admit it but i did something today that i don't really like but my girlfriend begged me to go with her - i took lani to a baby show gosh i felt so mean parading her around like a little animal but really it was quite cute and she won 6 ribbons, 2 trophies and a medal - forgotten what they were all for but i guess it was a day out and a bit of fun. won't be doing it again as i am not one of those people i just don't really like parading babies around like they are some attachment to the parent. some of the girls were such stage mum types - i was looking at all the babies and they are all georgeous i don't know how anyone can really judge them. anyway as i said bit of fun.
it is freezing here just turned the heating on and now i better do my shopping on line, last week i decided to take the kids to do the shopping normally BIG mistake i want this, i want that, i'm thirsty, i need to do a wee you know the drill lol, so back on line for me i reckon.
have a good day
-
LOL Michelle- IKWYM about the shopping thing, and it only gets worse the more you have and the older they are LOL. Which shop do you do online shopping at? Non of them do it up our way! Not long now then for you to start ttc, why not just start now? LOL *says the person who isn't having anymore*.
Kellee- how exciting for you too, ready to ttc. I am so jealous, cos not for me, although I am sure I will not think I have done the wrong thing when the kids are older.
Well did lots of cleaning today,waiting for Arron to take the dryer down so I can clean out the back cos it smelt burny this morning so I have been rotating clothes around the clothes horse, so much fun.
Jessica's nose is still super runny and her gums are soooo swollen, I just can't wait for the tooth to pop through poor bub, I have an ulcer and that's sore, imagine how sore her mouth is.
Anyway gotta move along, Arron will be home soon and still got things to organise.LOL must make it look like I didn't spend hrs on hereLOL
Cheers Michelle

Hey mooshie - it's great that I know someone else who is ttc. I would like to start charting too, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I will visit the ttc forum soon to chat about it. Last time was a total fluke - I wasn't planning on getting pregnant until I was at least 25, but I was 22 when I fell pregnant with Charlie! Oops! But it was not an unpleasant surprise - we always wanted kids, just not so soon! I'm really glad it has worked out the way it has. Not sure how you actually go about "trying" - we're just putting in lots of practicing, going the hard yards (it's not that difficult, really!) and hoping it works. I'd like to start being more proactive about it though... anyway, will save the rest for the ttc forum.
That's so cute that Lani won ribbons and stuff! I bet she looked adorable. Did you get some photos? I'd love to see them. IKWYM about stage mums... that's kind of why I've been put off going to playgroups.
Sorry Jessica's having teething trouble. I really feel sorry for bubs when that happens - I've had a whole heap of teething trouble myself lately, so I know how painful it can be... I can't imagine how bad it must be for bubs.
Anyway, dinner to cook, then shopping with potential SIL tomorrow - my BIL kind of forced us to go shopping (he's very pushy and brought it up in front of everyone so I couldn't really say no) so I hope it goes well. Then we have both of them over for dinner tomorrow night. Should be interesting.
As I said... gotta go! Bye.
-
hello again lol
michelle - i use coles on line it's great, although some things can be a little bit more expensive by a few cents in the long run it is worth my sanity - last week i spent $200 at coles when i went and today when i did it online i only spent $120 having said that i still need to buy meat and vegies (you can buy that online but i rather pick my own) so i usually end up spending around $180 gosh that is a lot for a little family like ours. i really should start going to the markets etc but somedays i just don't find the time.
ouchy on jessica's teeth hope they pop through soon what ones is she cutting - lani has the two top and two bottom and it looked like another 2 bottom were on their way but they have calmed down and it now looks like 2 eye teeth up the top are causing a bit of grief - the buggers just move around all over don't they.
kellee - if i had a digital camera i could redo my babies on line website and do more photos but unfortuntely i don't - maybe santa will bring one. oh and doing the chart for ttc is easy just go to fertility friend and sign up. we started sort of trying for 2yrs then fell pg which ended in m/c at 11wks then for the next 8mths we were alot more consious of ttc and then fell pg with jess, with jay we just talked about it and i was pg lol and with lani well that took probably around 18mths but part of that was me not knowing if i wanted another child and being scared about loving a child so much then having them ripped from you - also i think my mind was not really there and i was running on i don't know what really, so i think my body wasn't ready until it was time - if that all makes sense. the only reason i am charting now is because i will be 37 in october and i feel i need to get a wriggle on so i want to focus as much as possible on ovulation time - although having said that i know my body so much more that i can usually pinpoint the day i am going to ovulate - although for some strange reason i didn't ovulate this month hmmm i think i should keep an eye on that.
have fun shopping tommorrow with you future sil.
night all
-
Hello ladies!
I didnt get my tooth out yesterday coz I had to umpire finals netball that night and i thought how great would that be- Obtruktn- What ump?? Obtruktn... LOL and today I had my interview!! It has calmed down which is awesome for me- touch wood.
I think I did pretty well in the interview i find out tomorrow how i went. He said that coz of my uni experience in business and management I will be able to miss all the training and go straight into 2IC which is good. It isnt the best pay in the world but hey it isnt too hard work either!! I'll keep you posted.
Yay for Lani winning lots of ribbons!! There is nothing wrong with that. I have put Ryley into a couple of comps and he didnt win but that doesnt matter. He didnt even come close and (I also believe in everything happens for a reason) I was becoming a stage parent and it showed me that i didnt need any stranger telling me my boy was awesome and cute- I know he is special and that is all that will matter to him in the end. But dont feel bad- Babies are cute!! (Wish i could remember Lani's face!)
Have fun shopping Kellee!! So is she your brothers girlfriend? coz you wrote BIL and SIL so i got a bit confused...
I totally didnt know you could shop online from Coles!! How crazy!! =D>
Thats good thinking from them- let the Mums shop from their homes. Then there is no extra kiddie stuff. How much delivery do they charge? Or dont they deliver?
Poor Jessica and teething. I think Ryley's 8th little tooth- bottom 2nd from left if you are looking at him- is coming out and giving him trouble- the other 7 were so easy for him. LOL I know how much teeth hurt too !! Sounds like fun rotating all the clothes around- :(
Anyway I am off to bed now so I hope you all have a good day tomorrow :)
-
Oh yeah I am very clucky too but we could never afford a new house and a new baby!! Yikes!!
I miss the newborn feeling of needing you. Ryley still needs me obviously but he is so independant now. Imagine how I am going to be on his first day at school... thats why i am glad he is in day care coz it is helping us both to learn to function seperatly.
-
hi girls
pee - lol at not knowing coles do on-line aren't they the company who you went for the interview with. they do deliver only costs $4.95 and bring it to the front door (then my ds puts it all away =D> - i always make sure i order a surprise for him he loves it) and i get the delivery when lani is having her nap so it is one less chore to do lol.
jay is starting school next year and yup i will be a total mess, ah well at least he is looking forward to it - i often say i will be like the lady in the bega cheese ad missing her son at school (you know when she cuts the funny faces in the sandwiches lol)
kellee - we might just be pg buddies who knows.
well i have brought the patches and am raring to go tommorrow morning, am ducking out now for the last one and then patches on. they reckon at the chemist i should stay on the step one for 10wks then go down to step 2 for 4wks then i think step 3 for another 2wks for them to totally work - dunno if this is a ploy or not, i mentioned that some people seem to only need them for a couple of weeks then not at all and she said she always sees those people in a few months later starting the patches again. so if i do the whole course i don't think we will ttc in september and october will be out as i don't want a july baby (jessie's b/day is 24th july) so maybe not ttc until november - we will see what is in store for us i guess.
anyway am off now will check in tommorrow - michelle send me all your stop smoking encouragement vibes, i know you did it and it did seem easy for you so am hoping things will pan out for me.
-
Michelle- Coles online sounds terrific, wish they had it here! I am sending you the super dooper strong give up vibes that I used. I did cheat and only use the strongest patch for 2 weeks and the second strongest for 1 week and that was it for me but I haven't had a smoke since Feb 24th, so 4 months and 5 days and I am so glad, Arron is still kidding himself, he wore patches for 2 days and then says, I don't need them and then a day later is smoking again. I told him to not dstop the patches. I think he is one who needs the whole course cos he was smoking a pack a day but I wasn't even on 1/2 a pack. Jay will love school and so will you eventually LOL, after a few weeks you'll wonder why you were sad. Although I do miss wednesday pj's day with Josh but we just do it on holidays now. Don't feel bad about the baby show. I took Jordan to a couple and she won some trophies, but I couldn't believe my gf, she told the organisers that she would sell the tickets etc, (which I declined), and next thing you know she is winning everything, and nothing against her little boy but he wasn't the best looking kid in the show. And what's more she said, to just say I'll sell the tickets etc and then I'd win more. My cousin also did heaps for one charity who did baby shows and her not very attractive dd won everything, mind you she sat in shopping centres selling raffle tickets for 3 days at a time for them, so no wonder her dd was winning. I didn't take Joshua as I was working and Jemma and Jessica als haven't been in one, but prob only becos there hasn't been anything around here. Michelle you so need the digital camera, and then like the rest of Australia you can store your pics on the computer and never print them for the rest of your life LOL. Another thing I must get onto.
Pee- good luck for the job. Hope the mouth isn't too sore. You are right about buying a house and having a baby, we waited to have Josh till we had the house and we are so glad we did cos who knows if we would have been able to after no. 2. Jessica is only up to the 3rd and 4th teeth, the 2 top ones, they just seem like they will burst through any minute but they don't. I am so amazed that they aren't out yet as she is almost 10mths, but they aren't. When you said how many Ryley had I was so impressed.
Good luck Kellee for ttc, I have never charted or anything, I think I am just super fertile cos the longest it took me was 3 months. Which is why I have to be very careful lol. ALthough I must say I was very envious of the 4 pg women I saw tonight, sort of wished it was me *sigh* Get over it!
Hope the shopping and the dinner went well. What better way to get to know your SIL to be than while shopping? LOL
Took Jess to the drs today and he was happy that she doesn't need antibiotics. The other 3 were total pains in the drs surgery and Josh lost 4 days off the xbox. Why can't they just behave like humans in public? All 4 of them were crawling around the floor, now jess and Jem, fair enough but Jordan and Josh...come on!
Have a great day everyone
Michelle
