Hi!
Had a rotten night last night - dylan was soo unsettled so brought him with me and then we both had unsettled sleeps all night - LOL. I felt like such a zombie today! We had such a busy day though - brekky in the morning with old school friends and a bbq at Cindy's this afternoon! Both the boys have runny noses and I think the beginnings of a cold so I drugged them up tonight and put the vaporiser on so we'll see how we go! For the first time in ages I got them to bed early without any dramas and I haven't heard from them since so we'll see!
Kel - Oh no at the early wake ups!!! I don't think I'd cope at all if Dylan started doing that! I hope it stops soon! I completely understand the yelling - especially in the middle of the night when you can never cope as well! Big hugs!! We all get frustrated sometimes!
Kaz - Dylan doesn't wave all the time just sometimes...They all learn to do things at different times - I never even though to teach Louis and then dh's mum started doing it with him and he did straight away - don't know how old he was prob more like 10-11months...Gosh your good with vacuuming and mopping!! Although we don't have pets but our floors get grotty very quickly...after xmas I'm getting our carpets cleaned again...Dylans not sicking up half as much as he used to and the floors are all marked from it - so gross..I figure there's no point before we serve xmas dinner over them anyway! LOL!
How scary about the "escapee"- I haven't even heard about it! Hope they catch him soon! Have fun with your tupperware!!
Jen - Woohoo!! Go Beau!!
Chat later!
Hi All,
I've been up since 430am...with a massive cramp in my calf, just like the ones I used to get when I was pregnant, then for some reason I havent been able to get to sleep. Feeling much better now, must have had a tummy bug. Just finished my pill and officially ttc after af comes and goes...wow. Olivias been good, sleeping heaps lately I think coz she tires herself out so much during the day. She got her first black eye the other night, we were at the pub abd she was sitting on my knee and leant forward hitting the corner of her eye on the big wooden table...boy did she scream and there was a big blue welt on her eye...ouch. The yesterday we had a near miss at my dads, she found his lamp and pulled on it, lucky my brother was there to catch it (my sister was too busy talking to notice). Funny how some people are child aware and others have no clue!!!
Hey Kel, hope Lils been good for you and no more party time. Lol at licking the tiles...I hate mopping...but i know its coming!!!
Kaz, Olivia doesnt wave either...thats ok, haf the time at the moment she doesnt want to look at me either...too busy:)
Hey Kristie, sounds like you had a busy day. Hope the boys are good for you and that they dont get sick either.
Well, I should go....I need to ring my relis in England......
Chat soon
Love Melissa
Kel- LMAO at Lil licking the tiles. Dp does ours every 2nd day. Not that she is interested in them when it's much more fun to try and catch the dogs ears or tail. I have 2 boxers and they are so patient with her, she's alll over them. A couple of weeks ago Phoebe was up at all ours 4-5 days in a row and yeah I yelled at her just out of pure frustration but felt sooooo guilty after.
Mel- Oh no at Olivia's eye. Wow at ttc, hope it's short and safe road to bubba no2. Phoebe has been slepping lots lately too ,I've been wondering whether she's going through a growth spurt (or it's just the constant rolling lol)
Jen- What a clever little munchkin Beau is.
Kris- How are the boy's today?
Kaz- It's funny how your whole perspective on things changes when you have a child hey!
Us- Feeling a bit grrr today. Phoebe has been an angel and the grr has nothing to do with her. We (steve and my parents) went to a little Chrissie remembrance ceremony at the cemetary where Lachie is and I got soooo angry. It's complicated so I wont go into full detail, this is our 2nd Christmas without him and my folks went full out to "decorate" his headstone and plot, I know this is their way of coping but I'm an intensely private person when it comes to my little boy (it's my way of being able to protect him), my grrr is that they didn't even ask me or steve if we minded what they were going to do. So that's my main grrr but I still feel grrr grrr grrr- I hope that makes sense.
Anywho I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope your little ones get spoilt rotten and be safe in the New Year xoxoxoxox
Tiffanny and Phoebe
Hi!
It must be a week of firsts for us - Dylan clapped hands tonight! hehe. I haven't even showed him he's just managed to work it out on his own! LOL! Louis has also done 2 weeks on the potty today! Yeah!
We just chilled out at home which was nice. Dylan wasn't keen on an arvo sleep at all today and needed me to cuddle him - then he fell straight asleep!
They've still got runny noses but don't seem to be full on sick...just lots of snot! LOL! Hopefully it doesn't get any worse!
Melissa - Ouch! Those cramps are awful! Good Luck TTC!!! Hope it happens quickly for you! How exciting! Poor little munchkin with her black eye! Dylan had a little blood lip today after falling and knocking himself...
Tiffanny - Big hugs! I can understand where you're coming from...You're allowed to feel grr about it! I hope you feel better soon!
You have a Merry Christmas as well! It will certainly be a very exciting one with all of our bubs having they're first christmas!
Look forward to hearing about Phoebes big day!!
Hope everyone else is well! It's pretty quiet in here - I'm sure your all busy with xmas events and shopping!!! Chat later!
A quick Hi from me whilst trying to pack for our Holiday.
Charlie can officially crawl now, he also just started clapping his hands 2 days ago. Must have picked that one up at the Library. Last night we had to drop his cot down as when I went in to check on him he was sitting up hanging onto the edge....little bugger. So things are changing here, wont settle to sleep as easy as he used to, that's becoming a pain.
Well must go. Hope everyone is well, Have a great Christmas & catch up with you all soon I hope.
p.s Wow to those of you ttc.....nice one!!!
Hi All,
Sorry been a bit MIA, we went away on the weekend and have been trying to do Xmas type stuff and all!
Erin - wow at charlie clapping and oficially crawling! What a clever bugger! Congrats on the holiday x
Kaz - Wow you sound so super organised! How scary with the prison break! Bet you he wasnt half as cute as that boy! I have seen too many movies I wouldnt have left the house at all!
Mel - Poor Olivia with the black eye! Lucky they are tough...holy you know what at TTC!
Tif - You poor love, it's a really personal thing losing an angel and I know what you are saying - hopefully your Dh understands? I hear you with Phoebe and the puppies, we have two too and B would eat them if he could I am sure!
Kris - Go Dylan! Clapping mummy! Beau has a snotty nose too but a cough aswell so I hope it doesnt develop into something more...
US - Beau is standing in his cot, climbing the drawers in the kitchen, and the oven and can get up the step in the hallway and crawl away! He is falling a lot as a result and he is a bit crappy because of his snotty nose - I wonder if it means his teeth are popping thru at the top?
We need to move his cot down too - hopefully this weekend, he got some cool toys from his Nan and Pop on the weekend and is very interested in the rolling balls that came with his caterpiller pull along.
Ok best go, B is growing tired of the jolly jumper...

Hi all,
Well just thought I'd give you all a big surprise and tell you that I am officially pregnant again. SURPRISE!! (I beat you all to it!! LOL! ;) Not that I was tryign to beat anyone to anything... )
Don't worry it came as a surprise to us too. I am about 7wks according to my own calculations I will have to have a dating scan done though cause I'm not completely sure of af dates.
We weren't trying and it is just a fluke that it happened. I don't mean to sound so flippant about it, but we weren't planning on ttc for at least another 6mths.
Gotta go, Lil's awake...and DH needs a hand, hehe.
OMG KEL
Congratulations and WOW
OMG what great news Kellie....he,he don't worry think you will all beat me in that race!
All the best.
OMG Kel, congrats!!!!!!!!
WOOHOOOO!!!!!
wow.
Um I mean .... wow.
I can't wait to feel another bubba inside me - I finally know what you mean there Kris, I'm jealous of you Kel!
Yep, that's how I felt too...it was like this in my head
"OMG...I'm pg.....oh wow...another baby...pg, uh...well....wow...hmmm Lil will be 18mths old....OMG!!!! 2 UNDER 2...OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG (small panick attack)...WOW I'm pg...hehe...pg?...what will I tell mum??
Oh CONGRATULATIONS.....I have goose bumps for you. How exciting, yay yay ya...am screaming inside...better not scream out loud. Thats so great. Hope I will be there with you real soon.
AF is here, DF and I had a big d and m about ttc. He was a little hesitant coz hes putting an apprentice on in Jan, but he also wants a smaller age gap...so after AF goes..its practice, practice and more practice...oh I love practice....
WOW you're pregnant...thats so good:)
I'm so excited.
Olivias eye cleared up fast and today she has worked out how to sit up from being on her tummy. It made me so proud. Shes so cute...especially with her first tooth:) She wont be trying to stand on her own for a while yet...her legs are still not too strong after the harness, gosh its good to be out of that....AND YOU"RE PREGNANT>....
Tomorrow we have Mothers Group x-mas party, yay.
And then loads of Chrissy events.
Better stop yabbering:)
m
Hehehehe, you girls!!:D.....you've captured how I felt so well. I still can't quite believe it either.
Hi girls,
I haven't got time to even read everybody's posts. We've had a bad two weeks - one of Ben's top front teeth took two weeks to cut and it was pretty bad. He's gone back to waking at 4am, although this morning it was 6:30. Anyway, that's why I've been MIA - well that and going out every day for various Christmassy things!
I'm hoping to log on soon and really catch up. I hope you're all well and looking forward to Chrissy as much as we are :D
OMG, I just saw Kel's post! Congrats!!!!
Oh my God! Kel Congratulations!!!
Thats so exciting! And really scary for the rest of us that are just handling one!
Cant wait to go thru it all again with you!

Morning all!
well Pip has started commando-crawling if there's something he really, really wants. His dad's been off sick for 2 days (back to work today thank goodness) and as a result Pip has fallen off his knee, hit his head on coffee tables and has a totally mucked-up routine.
*sighs*
Kel - how's the hard poos going?
Disgirl - hope all sorts itself out soon!
Jen - how are you coping hun?
Mel - wow on the sitting! We still aren't sitting at all.
Pip's snuffle is still there, and today's he appears to have a cough and phlegm as well :( ARghhh.
Hi All,
Poor pip...hope he didnt get too hurt. Wow on the crawling...and the fun begins.
We have hard poos here too, so I will pop in a prune with dinner..usually gets her going...then I eat the rest of the packet and am in pain for a few days!!!Cant stop on just one prune!
Hey Jen and Disgirl, hope you are well. And hows the pregnancy going Kel???? Still so excited...it was the first thing I told Adam the other night:)
Not long til chrissy now..... have to watch my meals though. I have officially lost 7kgs....3 to go!!!!
Better run, chat sson
Melissa
Hi all,
I hope everyone is well!
We are, mostly. Lily has figured out how to move her hands to crawl more now and is getting into the chrissy pressies....ahhh what a fiasco she gonna create! She's also got another toothy peg, the bottom pointy one one the left. I think the other ones are still con=ming though cause she's still chewing her fingers like there's notomorrow and drool, OMG she could fill a pool! She's grizzling alot at night too, and has ma up every 3 hours or so for a cuddle and a sook. She hasn't had a night bottle for about two weeks now though so I hope she's over that and once the teething settles she will sleep the night through....hmmm probably wishful thinking!
Kaz, I know what you mean about feeling bubba inside again, I can't wait for the kicks again...though speak to me in about 8 months, then I'll be whinging to get it OUT! LOL, I feel like I was just pg, oh hold on...I WAS!
Lily is pooing better. No more pebbles for the past few days. I put a bottle of water in her cot last night and she drank it all. I only put in a little water though cause she's not having much milk at the moment and I don't want her to replace her morning bottle with water, IYKWIM. It's the only bottle she scoffs down.
Sorry to hear Pip is isck, I hope he's ok now, poor little man. Hope his head is ok too.
Melissa, hehe, thanks for the excitement!! I am getting used to the idea. It was a shock cause I really didn't expect it, I thought it was just stress related why af was so late. Ah well, I am getting excited again and all I saw in the shops today were pg women and tiny bubs :) I'm feeling ok, very tired, slight nausia, heartburn already (I'm sure I didn't have it so early with Lil's pg), horrible skin- pimples all over my face and bumpy skin else where- yuck! ummm....lack of appetite, back ache already, but that's about it so far.
Congratulations on your weight loss, you have done so well! I hope you don't trip up too much over the chrissy period. But you still need to have some treats too ;)
Ok gonna go and have a nanna nap with Lil...
HI Guys,
We are having a lazy Saturday arvo... I went and had a spray tan this morning to look nice (?) for Xmas - I think it all melted off with the rain and the sweat as its so humid here today. DH took Beau to the shops after dropping me as he wanted to get B a pressie that he chose, he got a walker which is cool.
kaz- we are good, Beau is pulling himslef up on everything and consequently getting stuck and falling! Sounds like Pip in the wars! Its hard when DH is home and it throws everything off! But I am ok at the moment x
Mel - thats awsesome at your weight! I was so horrified to take off my bra at the tanning place this morning in front of this young fit girl, my stretched belly and deflated boobs...are anyone elses waaayyyy smaller and horrible now?
Kel - gee you have a whack of preggers symptoms already! Thats cool - at least you know what lays ahead this time. any birth plans that will differ from Lil?
Have a great Sunday everybody, hope all your shopping is done - I have a pile of wrapping ahead
x
Jen - I wish mine were smaller :( But they aren't.
Kel - mmm, m/s. Yay. Not.
Mel - *uhgs* on the prunes, I just can't eat them. which is prolly why I don't give them to Pip :D
I've wrapped what I have, just have to get 2 more pressies (and a half) - one for DF, half for Mum and one for the nieces. Pip will be sooo spoilt, I just had to buy him a duck (as in a Cricket Australia Duck) that has a little bat and quacks a lot.) today. I love it!
byes all!
Hi All,
Well Olivia still has hard poos and shes grunting at times with nothing happening. Tonight it was pebbles again and this morning was a big hard poo....incidently I acidently got my thumb in it...yuck!...Prunes havent done the job, I have given her more water.....its been about 4 days now. So any advice?????? If it doesnt get better soon, i might have to go and get coloxyl drops...but dont really want to do that. Will prune her up again in the morning...she does like them, yum yum!
Hope everyones ok....had a big xmas do today...full as a goog. Another tomorrow:0
Take Care
Love Melissa
Hi Melissa,
For Olivias poos, do you give her lots of water? I give Lil a bottle of water- 250ml to drink while she's rolling about on the floor. She loves it, she drinks most of it but ofter takes a mouthful a spits it out, my charming little lady...! So I have little trails of water everywhere where she's rolled :) but she does drink most of it. Kaz also suggested to put a bottle into her cot. I have done it a few nights a sometimes she has it sometimes not, but I only put about 50ml or so in it aver night so she drinks her milk in the morning. I also give her some pear for breaky which usually loosens up her poos. I grate half a pear on the small sized grater and give it to her uncooked. She loves it! Supposedly brown sugar in some water helps though I have never tried it before.
HTH :D
Hey Mel,
Sugar works and also you can try diluted orange juice. Are you giving her banana or avacado? They clog them up - I gave Beau some of that fruit gel yesterday and his poo was fluid, so you could try that too!
x
Grrr, lost my reply.
Brown sugar in warm water worked for Pip in about 30mins. The next night I put less brown sugar in his formula and that helped things out. After that I've been putting his magic cup in his bed and he will self-regulate the water and that really seems to help.
Mum & Dad are down, went shopping at Eastland with them & Pip. somehow we got a parking spot undercover (there's only a tiny bit our vehicle will fit under) and then Pip was very well behaved. Now he's well-rested and wants to play, I want to sleep. Doh.
Merry christmas all, and remember to enjoy this first christmas with our bundles and the traditions we're starting.
Goodmorning Ladies!
Just thought I'd let you know that I am going away for a couple of days so will be offline.
I wish you and your bubbas a wonderful first christmas! Be careful on the roads, and ENJOY!!
Happy Christmas Eve!
Just made some yummo cherry tarts and Dh just got back from the fish markets now has gone off too work.
Beau still has a really snotty nose and screams the house down when I want to wipe it! He looks like one of those snotty kids you see....now I know why they are like that!
Have a nice time away Kel
And merry christmas Kaz too and every one of us - it has been a pretty major year for all of us and we have handled it brilliantly I think!
xxx
hehe Jen - Pip keeps getting fluff in his snot and getting dried up his nostril, hates it when I pull the fluff out!
Bought Pip an infant-sized santa hat yesterday, it's a touch too small for him!
Ack, munchkin just woke!
Hope everyone had a fab chrissy,
ours was nice ... I have hust re-arranged Beau s room to fit all the new toys. I think we have every fisher price toy on the market eeks! He is very interested in the balls and boxes that come with them and he likes his standing play table....but daddies watch and the rubber door stop/ wedge is still the best toy ever!
His nose is better and snotty eye less gloopy thank god, on Chrissy nite he woke at 2am and wouldnt go back off after pats, water and cuddles, then his dad comes in after laying in bed pretending to be asleep for about an hour of this -grumps "just gethimup and feed him or something" so I handed him B and went back to bed! Men,Why are they soooo annoying?
Ok that was my only Xmas whinge so I think thats ok.
Big cleanup around the house today so best be off.
x
Good morning girls!
Well we had a lovely chrissy. Lily was good and very sociable, no tears for all of the new faces, thatnk goodness. We saw all of the people we rarely see and Lily had fun with her cousins! I have a 13yr old cousin who was absolutely smitten with Lil and carted her around everywhere!
Lily didn't get too much which was what I asked for. She got a few toys and mostly clothes, which she needs as she now in a size one! She got some money too which I will put into her bank account. I got heaps of stuff...waaaayyy too much, but it's nice to be spoilt. I told mum (and the rest of the family) that I'm pg. Mum was surprised, but very happy. I got lots of 'Well you two didn't waste anytime' s which I am getting sick of hearing!
Jen, good on you for handing B over to DH, they can be rather clueless at times huh? I will be doing that tonight, I'm sooo tired and I think I'll sleep for half the day!
I hope everyone else had a great chrissy and safe long 'weekend'.
hehehe Kel!
Can't believe Lil's in 1's already!
Pip got spoilt rotten by my parents, aunt and us - and not so much by DF's family (which is good).
All I wanted was a set of bathroom scales (which I got!) with fat % on them - very scary!
Pip was passed around again, and they did the "queue" for holding him. Poor chappie! Christmas day was ... busy for him. He only had a 45min nap on DF's lap in the morning (instead of 90mins) and about another 45mins in my arms (instead of 2 hours) and we couldn't get him to sleep at all on Christmas night until after midnight.
Thank goodness he actually had his naps yesterday, but as Mum & Dad are staying here, he's not getting a chance to play on the floor which he loves doing. Last night he wouldn't go to sleep until he played a bit on the bed!
He had his first meat yesterday - some smoked baked ham that I made - I just held a little piece in his mouth, expecting him to just lick or suck it, but he chewed and swallowed it, then made a huge grab for more! Very impressed with him!!! It was a lovely ham, just melted in the mouth, not too much fat at all in it. And I baked it with a maple syrup and bourbon glaze, so it was very sweet.
Poor you Jen, I hope you got some sleep (and your DH got B to sleep!)
Have a good day all!
We had a good day. Phoebe got spoilt rotten. It was pretty quiet for us. Phoebe seems to have bonded with my little bro a little. Before she used to scream if he looked at her and now they are on speaking terms lol
She gave us a fab chrissie present, she started commando crawling YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! Now tehre is no stopping her and the dogs are no longer safe at all hehe
Jen-I totally agree with Kel -they are soooo clueless.
Catch ya's all later xoxoxox
Hi!
Just a quick one frome me!!!
Merry Christmas!!! Sorry I've been mia!
We had a great one - I will endeavour to reply to everyone and fill you in our happenings tomorrow. We're up at Bonnie Doon which is sooo nice but I have a rotten cold - grrr!!!
Just wanted to quickly pop in though!!
chat later!
Gday all,
Well the culprit of Beaus snotty nose has appeared - another tooth! Next to his big upper ones - explains his wakefulness the past couple of nights too.
Glad Kaz, Kel, Kris and Tiff that you guys had a great chrissy.
x
We've got new teeth too, one on the bottom and one on the top. We now have a total of 6teeth and if her mood is anything to go by for the last day or so, I'd say she'll be getting more soon!
Yeah Kel so much for baby love (i do love that book but) saying that it doesnt influence their behaviour/sleeping....how can we all be wrong??? Hope you are coping ok in the heat with lil' lil!
Hmmm, no lil' Lil is being a lil' monster! Shes a sooky clingon and won't let me go. I'm home alone and have no car and DH is on night shifts for the next four nights, so it will be on for young and all here.... Thankfully we have air con, and it has been on for a while now, so the heat isn't a problem. Being pg now I can't stand the heat, I'm usually quite a cold person and don't mind the heat, but when pg, I get really hot. We're gonna have a huge electricity bill!
greets ladies.
go the clingon!
Pip is suffering "grandparentsgoneitis" and is trying to get back into a routine.
He now crawls heaps!!!!! DARNIT!
I can sympathise Kaz, Lil is still being horrible and is sooking right now but I needed to get her off me! She can whine at the TV for a bit. She's also crawling and is hurting herself left right and centre. This arvo she bumped her nose on the floor then followed it up with a bump to the lip with her teeth grazing it inside. That's making her even grumpier!! And she decided it would be fun to be up for 1 1/2 hrs last night from 3.45am, as well as two other wakings and woke for the day at 6.30. Needless to say I am TIRED! OK shes crying now, again... we're going out for a walk!!
