Hi girls,
Kaz, yeah, we didn't fit on the lounge very well and I was sooo uncomfy. She was asleep on the side of my belly. Ugh, I don't thing I'll do that again!
Don't you love hand me downs! I do and my friend is going to give me a heap for the new bub, woohoo!!
Kris, hello!! Good to hear from you. Your pg seems to be going really quickly too! How come mine seems to be dragging?? Yay on having your scan, I hope bubs cooperates
LOL, I usually manage to get another half an hours snooze on the lounge in the mornings too, when she's happy to do her own thing in the lounge room. I usually wake to a slap in the face, my little charmer!
Eeek, at Dylan escaping. Lucky you caught him in time. It's so hard to tell the its dangerous at thins age huh? Lil's been attention seeking alot too lately, especially for me, I'm hoping that it won't last long and she'll be ok when baby comes.
Yep, I'm feeling better now, though this cough is still hanging on. Very annoying. Yeah mums ok, though she whinges alot about her back aching and Lily being a terror. She gets into her cupboards and destroys stuff, but what do you expect...? She an active, curious 14mth old, that's what they do! I try not to leave her there too much and now I'm not working I won't need to.
Yeah, finally reaching the end of my pg, it feels likeit been forever to me. I am over it already. Me and pg don't mix well, even though I don't have bad pg's. And it's sooo much harder than the first time, with Lily to look after too. I also have excess amniotic fluid and my belly is huge this time, and baby is measuring 2wks bigger according to scans. So needless to say I'm really uncomfy and BIG!
Disgirl, I'm glad to hear you're not feeling so sick. And I sympathise with not having much sleep. I have just woken up from falling asleep on the lounge after Lily went to bed, so I had 2 1/2hrs sleep on the lounge, and I wll still be going to bed soon, I'm yawning my head off just thinking of it!I fll asleep whenever and wherever I can, LOL! My iron is a little low so that could be contributing...I hope he has a wonderful night tonight
Mel, glad to hear that Olivias face is getting better finally. Porr little monkey sounds like she's been in the wars! Lils been climbing too and I'm scared she's going to hurl herself off something onto the tiles...she's got no fear. That's great that you've found some of her triggers for her face. Maybe try cheese spread, mashed banana or avocado.
For us, well I've been tired and I'm over this pregnancy thing! Baby is kicking up a storm inside, he definately kicks harder than Lily did! Other than that, not much else happening, it's been pretty quiet here.
I hope everyone is well and gets a great night's sleep.....in saying that, Lily is stirring and starting to sook....grrr!

Hi All,
Been busy doing I am not sure what!
Glad everyone seems to be doing pretty well.
Dis - Thats hard for you that Ben is having a shocker every few nights - do you still think it his teeth worrying him? Glad you are feeling better this PG than last - hope it continues into the 2nd!
Kaz- Thanks for the fruit tips - I wazz up pineapple, orange and mandarin (he just squeezes the segments) into juice for him a lot - but if i give him the peices he turns up his nose! I just realised your ticker thing has how many dogs you have! Derrr!! Cool on the hand me downs - I have a great button shop near me so I rip off the offending patches on them (winnie, thomas etc- i hate that stuff!) and put cool skulls and "b" patches and buttons! So more Beau!
Kris - Glad to hear you and the boys are well, good luck with your scan and the veiwing - Beaus bum is much better thanks, I am still not sure it was the bacon as we shared a bacon and egg roll the other day and he was fine. Who knows? Jealous you saw SATC - I was going on the first day but had to work and havnt got there yet!
Mel - LOL at Olivia stealing lunches! Too funny. I dont blame you guys for not wanting to dig a deeper financial hole for yourselves - if you can cope at the moment - who knows what you will want to do in a few years time? Glad Olivias face is clearing up - great you have identified things that make her execma worse.
Kel - Oh hugs to you and your big belly! LOL! You must be uncomfy with all the extra fluid too - does LIl touch it a lot? I think Beau would be bashing me in the belly he is violent! I guess you are getting internal boy bashings now! I think our mums forget sometimes what we were like for them too - my mum is honest with me and says she couldnt handle looking after a baby now and wants to do her own thing so I respect that too.
Us - beau has been really great the past week - he has woken up twice at 5am and I have given him a bottle and he has slept till 7:30am - dont know if I am creating a rod for my own back there IYKWIM? 5am is just too too early! He is being really cute holding phones up to his ears and chatting, cuddling his teddy bears and if I say "good night" he lays his head down wherever he is which is so gorgeous! i am getting clucky again now - but we have to wait for the house to sell and get settled in the new place - and i need to learn to drive!
Ok better get us dressed x

Hi girls!
Thanks for all the sympathy, I really appreciate it - especially coming from other ladies who have been there/done that with sleepless nights
Kris, it's great to hear from you again! What are the age differences going to be with your three kids? Do you feel like you're having another boy? Are you going to find out?
How scary with Dylan running onto the road!!! They're just so quick and adventurous right now.
Mel, glad Liv's face is clearing up. The climbing scares me! Ben was trying to climb onto his activity table at mum's this morning. Lord only knows why - there was nothing out of his reach! One day he's going to crack his head open on the tiles and I"m sure it will hurt my heart more than his head LOL
Hehehe on Liv stealing another kids' sandwich!
Kel, you poor thing!!! I am dreading what it's going to be like when I'm the size of a house with Ben to still look after. That extra fluid must be making things difficult too. If it makes you feel any better, I'm going to be huge in the middle of summer - at least that's ONE discomfort you won't have for this bub
I wonder if boys generally kick more than girls? Probably has more to do with a bub's disposition than gender.
Not long to go now Kel - hang in there!
Jen, Ben does the lay-down thing when you say 'good night' too. Sooooo cute!
I wouldn't worry too much about the 5:30 bottle. A bottle is much better than an early wake up IMO!
Getting clucky huh? Another bub - yay! Can totally understand why you would want to get the house situation sorted first though. I wouldn't want to have to move while I was pg. It's too much of a hassle when you're NOT pg!!!!
Us, well I'm not having a good day. I had a migraine last night and I have my migraine hangover today. I've taken too many sick days off lately so decided I'd actually better turn up for five days of work this week (I've only done that two other times since I came back to work on April 1st!!!!). Thankfully my two wonderful boys were great last night. I went straight to bed when I got home at 5:30 last night and DH took charge of Ben; feeding, bathing and bedtime. Ben picked a good night to sleep through too - thank goodness!
Does anybody know of a good way to get the little ones to try new words? Ben is great at communicating - he knows some basic signs and points the rest of the time - but I'm getting a bit tired of his grunting as he points. When you say a word of something that he wants, instead of trying to say it, he nods! It's like he's saying "Yes, very good mum, I DO want the milk!" LOL He says quite a few words, but I'm over the grunting!!!!
Have a good day - it's lovely and sunny up here for a change

HI all,
Jen, lucky you having a little angel this week, Lily has been a cling on and just whinging at me for ages now. She's driving me crazy! She's going to mums tomorrow so I can clean without a shadow, and do things like clean the bath and shower! Though him waking at 5.30 sucks, at least he's going back to sleep for you now.
Yep, I'm getting pretty uncomfy now, I was just sitting on the floor playing with Lily and my belly is just too big, I'm huge, I couldn't move or lean forward or anything! Yeah, she touches it a fair bit, especially if it's bare, she's fascinated with my belly button, LOL! And if she sees me putting cream on my tummy she comes running to do it too, very cute! She does get rough sometimes, especially at nappy change time and if she's having a tanty, she kicks my belly, and if we're rolling around on the floor she sits on my belly it's just the right height for her little bum, LOL. But I'm not too worried, sometimes bubs kicks back, hehe, but usually it's not too much of a big deal. I'm nowhere near as precious about being gentle with this pg as I was with Lils.
Dis, ugh, I am so glad this bub isn't a summer baby. He'll be born just at the end of winter, so fairly good timeing really. I have been ok with the weather, though I get hot with the heater on inside for Lily! You poor thing with your migrane, how sweet you dh took care of everything though. Mine did lat night too when I fell asleep on the lounge, mind you Lil was already bathed and in bed, but he tidied her toys and sorted out the kitchen etc... He said I was snoring so he knew I must have been tired!
How great is the weather in sydney today??! I'm loving this sun
Well so much for a good nights sleep....we were up at 11 until 1 then at 1.20, then 5.00, then 6.30 for the day. I'm so tired, I'm gonna have a nanna nap soon after Lil finishes her mandarine and goes to sleep. I have been productive today though, I've done 3 loads of washing, folded and packed away two that were already on the line, washed up from last night () and I will make some banana muffins soon too...maybe!
Ok gonna put the monster to bed, tah tah!!

Hi!
Had a busy day...took the boys to gymbaroo for a catch up class and then spent the afternoon shopping...They were so good considering...
Poor Dylan tried to climb his ikea shelf thing tonight and fell but as he did his leg got caught in the tub so got stuck really bad - I was so worried to start with that he may have broken it but he seems fine and was running around 10 min later....gosh this boy is going to turn my hair grey! LOL! He seems to be coming out with a new word everyday at the moment and loves to try and sing - very cute!
Kel - Attention seeking is a bugger sometimes...he's going through this stage where he'll hit me and I say no and then he gives me cuddles and kisses...like he thinks he has to hit me first iykwim? Very strange...he's been hitting at Louis too - it really is a very difficult age to discipline though...
I know it's hard to but try and enjoy the time you have left before no.2 arrives...trust me - you'll know busy when you have 2 to run after! LOL!
Bugger you had such a rough night - sounds like you had a nice day though!
Jen - Yeah at getting clucky again!!! I think it happens when they get to an age you really love and it's all cute and you start forgetting all the hard work - LOL!
Disgirl - There is 18m between Louis and Dylan and their will be 19 months between Dylan and then next bubba - so 3y1m between them all! LOL! I'm sure I'll lose whatever brain I have left pretty soon after bubs arrvies - hehehehe. I'm not working really at the moment though and I feel like I have so much more patience with them as I'm not always trying to do something iykwim?
I feel like it will be another boy but not sure - yep - will be finding out definitely - I have my scan booked in for next Wed! Woohoo! I'm so excited!
Yep - I think the whole kicking thing comes down to personality - with Louis he kicked but wasn't overly active and Dylan was very active! Hmmm definitely the same now! LOL!
Bugger abour your migraine - they're so horrible...glad you got a rest though and a good sleep!
With words - I would just read books - like my first words etc and point out all the ones he knows and make sure you say the name of objects all the time. So if you're playing with a ball say it heaps! It eventually will click and they'll remember and suss out how to say it! It really is just persistance with it...
Off to bed in a minute I think...I'm wrecked!
Chat later!
