Hi guys! It has been quiet in here, but I've been having trouble getting on so gave up yesterday. Maybe everybody else is the same?
Jen, how nice of DH to let you get the sand out of Beau's bum What swim nappies do you use? The disposable ones or the clothey type ones?
Good luck on the train tomorrow! They always seem to be doing trackwork on the CC line.
Mel, you do sound happier now that you've made up your mind to take Olivia out of care. It'll take a bit of adjusting, but you'll be use to it in no time. I can't believe that you and Kris are so close to meeting your new bubbas now!!!!
Us, we had another fabbo night. I was in bed asleep by 8pm! LOL Such a party animal! I have a girls' night out with the girls from mum's group tomorrow night, so that will be a fun catchup - although I'm doubting it will be a big one Really looking forward to this weekend. The AFL grand final should be a good'un, then the night out followed by a relaxing day on Sunday. Sounds just about perfect to me Oh, and I have to get to Target to buy one of those Thomas the Tank Engine Potties on sale right now. Ben's obsessed with Thomas - not that he's ever seen the show!!! Weird! DH reckons he'll never use the pottie though because he'll be too busy looking at the pic And no, we're not going to start TT yet, I just want to have it ready for when he's ready.
Anyhow, best be getting back to the grindstone. Thank goodness it's Friday!!!
that's funny DG - we bought 2 potties yesterday. One's a "cushie tooshie" one (with padded seat) and the other just a stock standard. we liked the TtTE one but people had nicked all the stickers from it. I'm going to just start sitting Pip on it while I go to the loo, to get him used to the feeling of air under his bum IYKWIM?
Mel - we had a poo like that the other day! And it was me that found it - I swear he had a clean nappy, did a poo, I waited 5 mins to make sure all finished, and it was everywhere. Up his back, down his legs ... and broken blisters. Funny on the CC lady being flustered by A!
Kris - hoping your moving's going well, its today isn't it???
Anyhows, I'm off to buy DH more sposies and to pick up some mail from the PO. Hopefully it'll be my MooGoo order
Well, we have had a few fairly good days. I'm not freaking so much as I was before that DH is going back to work, on Tuesday....eeek! I took the kids out the other day on my own and got the up and down the stairs and in and out of the car on my own.
Last night was a long night with Liam, he was really unsettled and Lily woke twice too, though only needed her dummy thankfully. Liam fed and fed all night. My bb's are killing me! Lily has been an eating machine for the past few days, probably tyring to catch up from being sick. But OMG, she eats more than me at the mo!
Mel, LOL @ the lady being so distracted by your DH! That's funny, hehe! But it's not very good about Olivias butt. Glad it's on the mend though. Maybe it will be good for Olivai not to be in CC when bubs is born? It might help her adjust a bit easier. Though a day or so Lily free for me would be lovely!
Jen, lucky you going to the beach. I'm jealous!! LOL @ the sand in B's bum, hehe! I can't wait til we can move up there now. We are pretty well decided that thats what we're going to do. Not for a few years though yet. How's the new house?
Dis, yay at the great night, I hope he did it again for you! Hope you have a great time out. I can't remember the last time I went out with friends on my own...
As for us, as I said, we had a very unsettled and sleepless night. Liam fed all night, hardly sleeping much at all. He screamed for a few hours too I have no idea why. Then he did a monster poo this morning at 6.30am, so I had to bath him cause there was poo everywhere. Luckily I had him wrapped or I would have had it all over my bed too! As it is I'm changing the bed every 2 or 3 days from him vomiting in it, or my bb's leaking!
We are having a quiet weekend, just a birthday party tomorrow and dinner at mums tonight. That's it, we might go to the park or something later, though it's meant to be fairly hot here today...anyway, that's it. I'm going to try to catch up on the washing, it's never ending!
Hi to Kaz, Kristy, and everyone else my baby brain won't remember!! Have a great weekend.
Well, we're all moved in! Still heaps and heaps to unpack but the basics are done and the house is tidy, clean and organised! We just don't have much in it yet...I think I'll be unpacking for the next month! LOL! Because it's all in the garage though we're just going to bring stuff in a box at a time so the house stays tidy..
I'm loving it though and the kids are as well. They got puffed running around the lounge and family room today! Hehe.
The weather has been gorgeous which has been good for the kids playing outside. The people who we bought off left a swing set here so the kids have been loving that as well!
Disgirl - Hope you have a great night out tonight! LOL at Ben liking Thomas but not seeing the show! My boys love it too! It's a boy/train thing I think! You can have the potty around - he may show some interest. Dylan tell us when he's done poos/wees in his nappy now so over summer we'll probaby have the potty around for him in case he wants to try and use it...not sure if he will want to try because of having his older brother though...we'll see...definitely no rush though...
Jen - I completely agree - when they're good they're good but those tantrums are so hard to deal with sometimes...Dylans taking to kicking his legs when I change his bum too which is annoying. But most of the time I can't get over how cute he is...LOL!
Yeah at getting your house all looking great - I think it's going to take us quite some time to furnish our house...we're so poor now with a big mortgage! LOL! No rush though...It will all happen when it happens!
Hope work went ok! Glad you guys are enjoying the beach! Yucko on the sand though!
Mel - Good for you on your decision! At least might be worth looking into some different carers anyway - you might find someone else your more comfortable with.
Gosh - I can't imagine rocking Dylan now...no wonder your hip was sore! It doesn't take much for me to get an ache or pain this p/g! LOL! (I must be getting old! hehe)
In saying that my sciatic pain has really settled down today without lifting so much stuff...
Kaz - Sounds like a good idea getting Pip used to the potty...I'm to lazy to do that now - will only think about it probably when he's running around in the nuddy! LOL! Ooh I was looking up moogoo on the internet the other day...might have to try some out! Bugger on Pip having a bad poo...Yucko!
Kel - How come you've changed you name? Louis just did that after being sick - ate and ate and ate - he was running around in his pj bottoms today with no top on and he had cute little love handles! Hehehe. He looks like such a little boy now that he's nearly 3!
Sounds like Liams going through a growth spurt as well!
Glad that your feeling more confident now! It will just keep getting easier...I'm sure I'll be nervous about getting around with 3 but you just learn how to manage I suppose!
Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned!
Ok...better get a bit more done and then head to bed...another big day unpacking tomorrow! Chat later!
Hi All.
Wow am tired today - we baby sat my Dh's neice and nephew last night and yesterday and they only just left now - the little boy (he is 10) was up at 5am too! Earlier than Beau!
I have just sat down to read the paper and check my emails and Beau is waking up Grrrr!
Kel - It took me a sec to realise who you were! Sounds like Liam is in his feeding frenzy stage huh? At least the bfing is going well - thats a blessing - I am sure Kris is right - you will get the hang of going out with 2, just even more organisation required however! I am fretting about DH going back to work tomorrow as we are so more isolated than what we were iYKWIM? The house up here is great - no regrets - we spent the morning with all the kids out the back of our place in the lake with buckets and spades and boogie boards and stuff - cant beat it.
Kris - We did the same thing with our boxes in our cabin - it has worked OK - I am like you and like to keep the house neat while unpacking and do it as you need it. Thats funny about the kids being puffed from running around the living room! He he!
Dis - I havnt got around to even buying any swimming nappies yet! Do you reccommend any? Bless sweet sleep - good on you for stocking up now. Hope you had fun at your girlie night out.

Hey All,
Jen- yep am so happy with my decision and its even made me sleep better. Oh your house sounds so good. Loads of things to do..and a lake. i would be there every day. Wow that kid got up early, hope you get a sleep in tomorrow. I got a swim nappy from Big W that you just wash. We need to get the next size up though coz shes grown so much. I do have the huggies disposables on standby though.
DG- glad youre getting some sleep. Hope you had a great girls night out. i have a potty thats bright pink...am going to get it out soon too coz olivia has decided that she can tell me that shes doing wee wees and points to her nappy. Might waight til the warmer weather....I dunno!!!
Kaz- I got my moogoo delivery not so long ago. I ordered it over the net this time instead of driving all the way to boronia...a fair way from me. It came in 2 days. I got a tub of the moisturiser...love it and I got the goats and cows milk soap for Olivia. It lathers up really nicely and I think it might last a fair while. And the soap smells lovely.
Kel- yeah I didnt know who you were for a second!!! Am glad things are settling in ok for you. Its starting to dawn on me that there will be another one of us in less than 9 weeks and had a bit of a panic when I realised dh dint know exactly where things were for Olivia. I'm sure he'll be fine, but I just got all paniky!!! Then theres a bit of anxiety about how I'm going to cope and how Olivia will be. Shes started touching my bbs and last night she was giving them kisses. I wonder if she smells milk.
Kris- glad your move went well. We moved her 3.5 years ago and still have boxes in the garage...probably stuff we should get rid of!!!! Will have to come past and have a squiz...am so nosey!!!! And thats great they left the swing set.
Well, we are sitting out on our new deck/pegola, enjoying the afternoon. Have been to MILs this morning for lunch. Hopefully our driveway will get finished off tomorrow and then I have to clean the house....again coz of all the concrete dust and dirt that has come in. Thats all we are doing for renos this year...yay. Our house is almost finished. Just outside stuff to do.
My coz came to visit today with her 3 kids (14/8/10 or summat like that) and they had heaps of fun playing with Pip (& his toys!). We were going to go on Puffing Billy with them, but he was asleep and you know what they say about sleeping babies ...
Kris - great news on the house, and the swing set! Bonus! Guess you'll have enough room for the toys you bought last xmas now
OOOOH and speaking of xmas ... I put a heap of stuff on layby last week - a nativity set (different through - preggers Mary on the ass with Joseph leading) and a snowdome Plus some ornaments
Mel - sounds idyllic - hasn't the weather been gorgeous the past couple of days? Yay on the driveway - woohoo! I also ordered some stuff online of all stuff for me Except for a cow for Pip! I even got a t-shirt to wear whenever we have meets so the nappy people know me! The oil cleansing method seems OK, I have rosacea and am hoping this will help ... they also gave me a sample of the anti-aging cream. We use the oatmeal soap for Pip - it was great with the nappy rash on his legs last week - and for us! We now only use goat milk or cow milk soap in the house for everything bar the anti-bacterial for the kitchen ... I love the smell of it. How cute/weird/canny of Livvy to sniff your BBs!
Jen - if you get the huggies swimmers, you can (gently) rinse them out if there's no poos and dry them for the next time. Must say it sounds gorgeous - can we come visit
Kel - yes, was strange reading your post, was thinking "there's another Liam?" and then saw your sig!!!!
Hehehe, sorry for confusing everyone with the name change!! But I wanted to have a signature with both my bubs names in it. I had been thinking of changing my name for a while but just didn't know what to, and this one is a mixture of my babies names and initial our surname.
Jen, Your place does sound lovely. Lucky Beau to have the lake right there to paddle and play in. And how great for you to be able to just pop over and have a great place to play.
Yeah I can understand being a bit antsy about being on your own now. Do you have a car? Especially if you don't have a car to get around, or know the streets and stuff. It's out of your comfort zone.
Mel, I have found these first weeks really tough. It's starting to settle a bit now, but I'm still having moments of being overwhelmed. I just keep on thinking there's two of them and only one of me. How cute with Olivia touching your bb's, that's so sweet. Maybe she can smell your milk? Lily couldn't care less about mine, LOL! She isn't even phased when I feed Liam. Though she did watch me onw time for a while yesterday, she was up on the lounge and had her face right up next to Liams, looking at what he was doing, though I think she was more interested in what HE was doing, not the bf'ing.
As for us, we had a loverly day at the party. It was at a big regional park, with heaps of play equipmant and stuff. Lily had a ball and Liam was good for me. Though it was 34 degrees! And blowing a gale! Lil fell asleep in the car and is still sleeping!! And Liam is snoozing too, yay!!! Ok gonna go and enjoy the silence of having both babies asleep!
......Spoke too soon, Lil's up!
Hi to everyone else and hope you are all well.
What swim nappies do you use? The disposable ones or the clothey type ones?
Oh, and I have to get to Target to buy one of those Thomas the Tank Engine Potties on sale right now. Ben's obsessed with Thomas - not that he's ever seen the show!!! Weird! DH reckons he'll never use the pottie though because he'll be too busy looking at the pic
