Sorry it's taken so long to post! Things have been quite busy! LOL!
We're going really well though...Ethan is just gorgeous and has been sleeping very well for me - no complaints!! I've just started getting smiles the last few days as well which are just gorgeous! Louis and Dylan have settled down heaps as well which is nice!
We had a huge weekend going to the local Carols on Sat night - just for a bit - they had free jumping castle and animal farm etc so the kids loved it and then we had a big day at werribbee zoo yesterday...
Had a few tears the other day after having a couple of nights of not much sleep at all but otherwise have been feeling pretty good...Dh has been amazing getting up to the 2 older boys, even though he's back at work now and so I only need to deal with Ethan overnight...He's also bathing all the boys - I haven't even bathed Ethan yet! LOL! So I'm very lucky I have such a supportive dh (as much as he drives me nuts sometime - LOL!) Makes up for not having much other practical help around...
Dylans being so gorgeous lately - his tantrums have settled (a little) and he's just surprising me each day with how clever he is! With Louis we were always teaching him the next thing but Dylan just comes out with it all on his own and surprises us (typical second child! LOL)...I got a shape-o from tupperware and he says circle, triangle etc when putting them in and all his animal words and objects..he knows basically all his colours now and is getting the idea of counting but hasn't got the words quite right yet...Most of his sentences are still a bit of gobbledygook but he did ask me to "open the door" the other day...LOL!
We've got Kinder orientation for Louis tomorrow - we're so excited! It's only 2 1/2 hours one day a week but I'm certain he's going to love it!! He's so ready for that contact with kids and also the stimulation from learning...
Anyway..Otherwise not too much exciting stuff happening!
Kaz - Yeah on TTC - How exciting!! Aww...how cute Pips doing a christmas concert! Sorry to hear Pip was sick again...hope he's all better now...
LOL on reading the book - it's great isn't it?? Hehe - I have a clean house but thats because I pay someone - LOL!!!!!
Aww sorry to hear he didn't like santa...gosh...I really must go and get the kids photos done...
Disgirl - Wow - not long to go now! How great you've finished up work! What a relief! Glad Ben's sleeping better now...
Yeah at a new computer!! Wow at getting a p/g massage and doing shoppign on your own - Bliss! Good for you!
Thats great you got Bens room painted! How exciting he's going into a big bed...I really must do some shopping - Dylan needs one very soon before Ethan outgrows the bassinette...
Jen - Glad playgroup is going well! We're going to start going to one next year...I can take all the boys and I can't believe how cheap it is!! Good luck with ttc a girl...having boys is nice too though! LOL!
Ooh Happy Anniversary!! Glad you had a nice dinner out!
LOL - I'm not that together at all I don't think...I suppose it gets easier in one respect when you have a few kids - you never knew you could deal with so much!! Are you really giving up your orgasms?? gosh...maybe thats my problem...hehehe!
Haha - definitely not a sex maniac either...although dh pestered me enough so we've already dtd...it's easier to keep him quiet sometimes...hehe.
LOL at thinking "no" sounds cute...I wonder how long that will last - Hehehehe. (maybe till he's 3 and thats all you hear?) LOL!
Big hugs on your tears...I hope you felt better after a cry...sometimes it just gets like that thats for sure! Of course you'll manage with 2!! Remember Beau will be a fair bit older than he is now as well when a bubs arrives which will make things easier....
Mel - Ooh I love your ticker photo - what a gorgeous little girl you have there! Look at all that hair!
Big hugs on the expressing...that would be tough...Hope the day stay helps...LOL - I'm with you on the ear piercing cry - speaking of which...I can hear one now...
wow - you definitely have plenty of milk then - LOL!
Kel - Big hugs..it can be hard when you don't have any "me time"...hope you can manage some time out soon...I agree with Jen though...dh should be able to have the kids to give you a break! Gosh - half a day kid free would be magic...I haven't had that time just to myself since before Louis arrived! Actually, I think I've only had one time since Louis arrived when I was p/g with Dylan that mum took him for a drive to see my sister and I was home alone for a couple of hours...other than that kid free time has been purely for a "reason"...hmmm might need to change that when Ethans a bit bigger! That sounds crazy now that I come to think of it...hehehe.
Yep...alone time with dh can be a bit difficult...our expected first night out child free is for the Pink concert next June! hehehe...hopefully something will come up earlier than that though!!
Sorry to hear Lilys sleeps so unpredictable...have you tried giving her just 1 day sleep?? Might help to improve her night sleeps? Maybe...? but who really knows...LOL! Just an idea though...Yeah at her having a sleep through!
You've just had a baby! You don't generally have the energy to dress up and feel gorgeous! LOL...I'm sure in another few months you will!
You guys are stressing me out with all your cleaning/housework - LOL! I suggest everyone just pick up the toys once at the end of the day and be done with it...otherwise you're going to do your heads in picking them up just for them to get them out again! hehe!
Ok...well enough from me...kids still haven't eaten brekky yet cos it's taking me forever to write! LOL!
Chat soon!
