Welcome home Kellie. Congrats on a beautiful little boy. it sounds so cute with Lil and her cuddles. Hopefully you can get her ears sorted out. It might sort out her sleep issues too. Am not looking forward to the broken sleep again, but at the same time cant wait to meet this little girl. Shes getting me used to frequent night wake ups too:( Oh well!
Anyway better run, have a great weekend everyone.
Hello all....
Wow I feel like I havnt logged on in ages but it really isnt - I have tried three times and have had DH wipe it off a couple of times too GRRRR!!! Have just been busy packing I guess!
We are all well here - Beau has got loads of new teeth so has been a bit all over the place with his routine - still sleeping 2 and a half to 3 hrs a day!!! He must need it I guess....but he is staying up later and later - he knows all the sleep signals now and throws a tantie but I try and talk him around "lets go and cuddle teddy in bed" etc!!!
Wow I have been wondering about how you are going Kel - a bit jealous of having that new little person and all the excitement of it - not the sleep (or lack of it but). Glad Lil is being sweet to Liam but sorry her ears are bad - Dont worry about personals - just let us know you are ok and how everyone is!
Dis - Little Ben sounds like such a star - what a cutie with his "Ostich!" - I hope his bum has healed a bit and the doc could help with something for it. Do you think its an allergy to something?
Mel - Hey there - hope youre physio appt was helpful - Glad Olivia is doing well on her yeast free diet - hope she doesnt have to stay on it too - what are you feeding her for snacks and things? Beau has a lot of bread based snacks....At least you got a tiny bit of alone time with DH while you were away and glad you didnt come back and Olivia was, like, driving or something - remember last time she learnt how to walk!!
Kris - How is youre packing going? I am feeling under control I think - it changes from houir to hour tho - Beau is throwing real tanties for DVD's to be put on now - of an evening I will put it on in our room so he drops in and out of watching it - not like when its in the living room if we are in the kitchen he is glued KWIM? It worries me too but when summer comes....hopefully it will be easier to do fun outside stuff!!!
Ok the little monkey is climbing on me
Have a great weekend everyone!
Lol Jen- I forgot about that!!! No thankfully she wasnt driving when we came home but nothing suprises me. Actually she did learn to roll and roll and roll!!! Physio went well, I think the major thing is my lovely constipation.....one thing I dont like about this pregnancy!! I have to increase my water and exercise. Also have exercises to do (oopps havent done them) and have to get a stool for the toilet so I can put my feet up higher!!!
As with the yeast free diet, its not too hard beacuse she can still have wheat. What I have noticed is that some of the stuff with flavoring has yeast extract, so no chicken flavoured rice crackers. I give her rice crackers, water crackers, yeast free bread, yeast free fruit loaf. I think scones dont have yeast. So theres plenty out there...just costly. So I am going to borrow mums bread maker and do it myself.
DH left this morning for a week on the slopes of Mt Hotham. I just cried. Hes been away so much over the past 3 months. Lots of 'boys' weekends and working long hours. I know he realises whats going on and why I am so upset. He hasnt got any more trips on for the rest of the year. He always tells me to go away and he will look after Olivia, but I said I dont want to go because its my sacrifice that I make as a mother. With that and tears, he was feeling pretty awful yeasterday at breakfast, which was the first one we have had together in weeks.
Glad Beau is getting those teeth through. Its nice to have a break when they have finished. Olivia has the eye teeth and the back molars to come. Have fun packing. What date do you move????
Hello everyone else. I'm going to go to my mums for a few days but will try and jump on.
Happy Sunday:)
Hello...
Oh Mel - I would be po'ed too if DH was away so much - especially doing fun stuff on his own all the time. I feel bad when DH says "Is it ok if I.....?" and say "You dont have to ask!" But I am glad he does! Usually we pike out of what ever it is cause we are such homebodies the both of us....I dont think its the same thing if we go away from our bubs (as mums) is it? Its a funny thing - I only have done it the once when he was 6mths and DH booked me into that retreat in QLD but since then nothing - a day working here or there. I might go out for dinner with friends before I leave the city but I know DH will battle to get Beau to sleep so I feel guilty even doing that!
Thats great you have a lot of options for the yeast free stuff - Scones dont have yeast cause I make them all the time - its baking powder usually. I havnt tried B on rice crackers, I might give them a go as a little treat - I give him a cruskit with vege or a breadstick usually.
Oh no at the stool for the toilet - you poor thing! Maybe get one that Olivia can use for the sink when she is bigger? At least it will come on doubly handy later on....you can get the little collapsable white ones from woolies. We are movng on the 12th of Sept! 6 days after my 32nd birthday.
Us - We are ok - I have my period and am very moody this time around! Poor Dh he is copping it - "Why arent you packing?" "Why are you packing that???" "Dont pack -- I will do it in the week" "I can't do it ALL myself!!!" Poor bugger - I sound like a crazy person! Beau is good - still jamming his fingers in a different spot every day so I am using an SM-33, Breuer Teething relief (and Panadol when its really bad) ****tail. Apart from that he is pretty happy, seems to want to punch out some new words every day so I cant wait!!
I just washed and packed up in a neat box my breast pump and all the storage bottles and all his colic bottles and dummies and the baby bjorn ready for the next bubba......:pray:
OK I am babbling a bit
Have a great Sunday!:D
Hi!
Started writing a long post and left it too long and lost it so will be a brief one from me now...
We're all good though - just busy with deposit dramas for our house which means I spent most of today on the phone - grrr.
I'm going well - bubs is kicking away heaps and had a midwife appt last week and all is going well...
Boys are good - Gorgeous as ever - they're such great buddies - always giving each other hugs and kisses - especially if they hurt themselves - Louis even put a jumper over Dylan when he was asleep on the couch the other day...they're just such special boys...
Kel - Glad your home and going well!
Jen - I've done a bit of packing but not much...we don't have that much stuff! I must get a wriggle on soon though - only just over 4 weeks to go! Woohoo!
Mel - Sorry to hear you've been upset...I don't blame you though - my dh had a period of time like that and it just takes it's toll...glad to hear he'll be around more from now on though!
Must go to bed...sweet dreams everyone!
Hey all, tis a bit quiet in here. Hope you are all well.
great to hear from you Kristie-not long now til your move. Hope you can sort out bank stuff...ggrrr. Thats so cute with the boys, hope my girls will be like that! Am home now after 2 nights at mums. only 3 nights until Adam comes home. yay. got so much cleaning to do and cant be bothered. Hoping my nesting comes in very soon!!!
take care
Love melissa
LOL Melissa - I don't think I've ever really nested! hehe....
Hi girls,
long time no post....it's hard to find time at the moment, between having Liam feeding, trying to play with Lily, get a bit of sleep here and there and keep this place in some sort of order, well....there's just not enough time in the day, and this is with DH home, imagine when he's back at work, OMG!!!!! :o
We are all pretty good. I am very sleep deprived, I seriously don't know how I'm going to cope when DH goes back to work. Luckily he's home for another 4wks though! Lily is still waking 2 times a night for a bottle and Liam is up god knows how many times. Thoughlast night it was only 3, but once he was awake for 2hrs, feeding and burping and wriggling and feeding and burping and wriggling...it's so amazing how you forget all of this stuff! DH is taking responsibility for lil at night and in the morning, so its easier, but when i have to get up to both of them....eeeeeekkkkkkk!
Jen and Kris, I can't believe that you guys are almost moving! It seems so short a time that you were both dreading the dramas of house inspections! I hope everything goes smoothly for you both.
Ok gotta go, my times expired according to my little man!
Good to hear from you Kel! Gorgeous ticker picture of little Liam as well! I know it's soo hard now - just try and take each day (and hour) as it comes...Thats great that your dh is home for 4 weeks! I'm sure you'll manage when he goes back to work though!
Lol kristie- i never really nested either...just hoping it will happen this time!!!
great to hear from you Kel- glad dh is on 4 more weeks of leave. Sounds like hard work, making me a little nervous, but all the same am looking forward to it. Hope you manage to get some rest
OMG i cant find stove knob covers anywhere. Olivia keeps playing with them when i am cooking...not a great thing!
Yay Posts!!!!!
Great to hear form you Kel - enjoy this special time with DH home as you wont have it again and its a lovely time for your little family, how cute is Lil in that pic with Liam? What a big girl she is with her long hair! Hugs to getting up to both your babies:hug:
Kris - Hello fellow packer - beleive me I wish I didnt have as much stuff as I do! Your boys sound so lovely together - esp with the kisses and cuddles - they must melt your heart! 3 heart melterererers soon!!
Mel - I think the whole nesting thing would be fine if we only had to do it once IYKWIM? Not every hour, day , week, month of the year LOL! Like, enough already! If I pick up one more toy.....
Us - Beau has been super lovey dovey kissy man the past few days which I adore! He is tucked up in our bed with a teddy watching Max and Millie. I have co -erced DH into making tea so I better go check on him:clap:
Hi Disgirl - hope Bens rash is better now
Ps I just typed a long post and lost it so I am being brief out of annoyance!
I know Jen it was quiet in here for a bit. Sometimes I feel like I am just posting so we dont stay on the second page!
my house is a pig sty, but i'm not so worried coz i have no company after olivia goes to bed, so I'll just clean then...poor me!!! Little terror has just pulled clothes off the clothes horse too! i need nesting so I can get motivation to do things like dusting skirts, pulling out the fridge and cleaning behind it, cleaning the pantry, going through clothes. the day to day stuff, I just do.
Oh I so want dh home, so bored without him. And the king size bed is so empty:(
Well, should get off the net and relax with the moo!
LOL, mel you think your house is a pig sty, come over here! i have cr@p EVERYWHERE... and it doesnt look like it will be cleaned any time soon...
Hi!
Poor Dylan has the sniffles..hopefully the dimetapp will let him have a good sleep...the kids are buggered after a big couple of days running around to activities etc..we had a couple of weeks off and so this week has taken it out of them...won't be home tomorrow either as we have to do food shopping and a few other bits and pieces
Jen - Yeah at getting dh to cook dinner! I wish! Although huge surprise tonight when dh came into the kitchen as I was starting to cook a roast and asked what needs to be chopped up - omg! Thats got to be a first...I didn't need any help though so instead he helped me clean up a bit afterwards - even better!
Melissa - Omg - do you actually clean that stuff?? LOL - I don't think I ever have...I've never even cleaned an oven...I get mum too cos I've always been p/g and don't want the fumes - LOL! I've also never cleaned windows...really I'm a grot...maybe I was a cleaner in a past life and so don't feel like it now - hehehehehe.
Kel - Now's not the time to be worrying about your mess! It's so hard and I bet you have heaps of washing!!!
The house is tidy but my rooms a mess...really should clean it but so can't be bothered...think I'll just chill out instead and get an early night...I feel sooo tired!
Chat later!
I went through each room the other day and listed everything I need to do...all of it. I am HOPING...that I will do it. I dont usually do that stuff, but I figure I have olivia in fdc 3 days a week, so I should actually try and do it, before this next one comes along and I wont do it. The main things I do want to do is sort out olivias bedroom as she will be sharing. I need space for clothes. I need to go through all her clothes, which are out in the shed and either toss them or wash them. I do need to go through the pantry coz I am sure theres chocolate hiding in there!!! And some weavels:)
Kel- you need to relax not clean. I cant wait to hear how you went with labour. Was it what you wanted? Was it less traumatic than lils??? Sounds like you did a fantastic job.....oh I just found your birth story. Well done:)
Hi girls! Sorry to be MIA again. I typed out a big post on Monday and then it disappeared. I was about to re-do it and got hit with the worst migraine I've ever experienced, so I was off-line for a couple of days. Yesterday I had my scan and went to a pre-school observation for Ben so I was away from the 'puter again.
Anyway, just quickly....
Kel, so good to hear from you! Forget about the housework, I reckon my house is worse than yours and I only have one kid and a dog :lol: I am just so tired and feeling ill so often I thought bugger the housework! Love your ticker pic!
Kris, good luck on the final packing and move. Your boys sound gorgeous! You must waste so much time just watching them together!
Jen, Yay on Beau being such a snuggler at the moment! It's gorgeous isn't it?
Mel, I can give you my address and you can add all my cleaning to your list if you like ;) :lol: I need to go through our spare room really soon as it's going to be Ben's. We need to paint it - once the junk is out - do a thorough clean and then start moving stuff in. I want it all done before I finish up at work too, so we've got three months. Lord knows when we'll find the time!!!
My scan went really well yesterday. We managed to restrain ourselves and didn't ask what gender Twobob is, although DH thinks girl. I'm totally undecided. All I know is that this bub has a big head!!! The head diameter is measuring a week ahead. Ben had a big head too and that contributed to him getting stuck. Bugger! It was awesome seeing him/her move around though, and feeling it at the same time was just unreal!!!
Gotta end this here, HEAPS of work to catch up on :(
Hello ladies!
OMG I don't know how you're all doing it, having # 2 or #3 on the way!!!
Kris - when do you move, can't be too long now?
Mel - try bunnings, they have them. Or spotlight ...
Housework - ummmmmmmm yeah right. Pip's currently running around throwing his ball, chasing it, throwing, chasing and it makes housework impossible. trying to get a housecleaner, but also impossible. *sighs*
Hopefully I'll pop in more often :)
Well, I have been a busy girl today....scrubed the bathroom, cleaned the mirror, did the skirts and ledges, vacumed and mopped the whole house, changed the bedding and washed it. Just about to go to Bunnings to find some stove knob thingies!!! And while I am there might see if I can find a duster and something to help me clean the mirrored wardrobe doors without streaks.
Dh is coming home a day earlier, so I am very excited:)
Mel- congrats on the scan and well done on not finding out. I dont know why I need to know, but I just do. Bugger on the migrane. Hope that they stay away. Oh and if I lived close to you...I would think about your housework....NOT! I hate doing it and wish I could hire a cleaner...but I am at home and its my job, yadda yadda yadda!!!
Kaz, yay youre on line~!!! We really need to worrk out this catch up thing. I think Kristie was available Monday and Friday mornings or weekends. I'd prefer Monday mornings or weekends. Let me know your movements\:)
Ok better go otherwise the cleaning bug might run out the door:)
