I've got a few minutes while Ben is watching Thomas and Jared is asleep
Jen, glad to hear Beau is doing better with his Poppy. This past two weeks has been awesome for Ben, he seems to have really come out of his shell and warms up to people really quickly now. We've had a million visitors as you can imagine and he is quite happy to talk and play with anybody who comes over.
Isn't this weather horrible? The forecast keeps promising days below 30, but then as the supposedly cooler days get closer, they change their minds! Would love a few days under 30! Ben is getting cabin fever. We went to the park yesterday morning at 8am just so he could have a run around outside. Any later than that and it's just too hot.
Mel, I don't know what you can do about Olivia! She must be a good climber! I'm so glad that Ben is still showing no signs of wanting to climb all over everything. He's too interested in chasing a soccerball around!
We've had some good days here. I think it's because Craig's been home over the weekend. Last night Jared slept from 11pm until 5am - what a champ! Unfortunately, Ben was up at 4am, but you can't win them all! I swear they're a tag team sometimes! Mum is coming out tomorrow morning and is going to stay for a couple of nights. Craig works a double shift on Tuesdays, so works Mon night, Tues and then Tues night which makes it a bit hard. Don't know what I'm going to do when I have to do it without mum's help as well.
Best be off. I think Ben needs a bum-change and I can hear Jared stirring. At least I got five minutes to myself!
Sorry I have been away so much...can't seem to keep up with much at the moment at all!!
Disgirl - Congratulations!!!! Sounds like your doing so well!! Fantastic news!!Wow - Jared sounds like he's doing great sleeping for that amount of time already overnight! What a good little bubba... LOL on getting fat after having bubs - I find it easy as well...I usually lose the initial weight and then start gaining again...it's called eating for energy - If I haven't had much sleep (always!) then I usually go for the junk food to try and boost my energy levels...doesn't work to well though but when will I learn? LOL! I've only got about another kg to go before I'm at pre-p/g weight but actually want to lose another 3-5kg to be looking good!! LOL! Then all I'll need is a tummy tuck to get rid of my feral stretch marks...
Jen - Hi! Sounds like all is good in your neck of the woods as well - I hope you dh finds a job he likes soon!! Ooh...I really need to do the whole photo thing as well...I haven't put any in albums for a loooonnggg time...another thing on my to do list - LOL!
Mel - Wow at Olivia climbing so much - have you tried just taking the side of the cot off (if it allows you??) Otherwise the move into a big bed will be a good idea. Dylans in one now with no hassles...although he does get up and knock on his door sometimes! LOL!
We're all going well...The boys are great...Louis starts 3yo kinder this week! Dylan is doing so well talking lots - he loves his dinosaurs (thanks to Louis!) and is saying triceratops and t-rex! Very cute. He's learning new words everyday and I can often have a little conversations with him now...He knows so much more than he lets on thats for sure!! Ethan is my little clingon baby...and I think is now going through a 12w growth spurt...he's feeding all the time and then ends up with wind - wouldn't go to sleep until 10.30pm last night! Then was up at 2.30am and 5am for a feed and is now up again - wtf?? Hopefully it won't last too long as I'll lose my mind! hehehe. He's so gorgeous though - he's settled down a lot in the last couple of weeks I must say...
Ummm...not much else for us...
Hello to everyone - will try and catch up on a few more posts later! Bubs has now woken...again!! Better go...Chat later!! xoxoxoxoxo
I am back! No time for personals or to catch up with posts. We had a godd time in Adelaide, though the weather was extreme, 46 degrees the first day we got there! Due to the weather we couldn't really do what we really wanted to, but had a good time anyway.
Liam is sitting and doing a catterpillar crawly thing, so cute! i start work this arvo, I'm excited, nervous and worried about leaving my little man for 4hours! I have never left him more than about an hour! And I only managed to express half a bottle.... Oh well, it's ONLY 4 hours....eek, my baby!
Lily is cheekier than ever, and is now saying 'MINE!' , OOOhhhhh, terrible 2's here we come! She has been sleeping really well while we were away, but I think it was because we all slept together. DH and I dragged the mattresses off the beds and put them on the loungeroom floor cause the ac was in there and it was just waaayyy too hot to sleep in the bedrooms! So lily slept like an angel! But made up for it last nigt....
Ok gotta go, hope every one is well!
Hello All....
Mmm much cooler here today...I even have leggings on, nice change after all the sweating! Everything is good here, Beau has been pretty settled the last few days, he is obsessed with the three yr old boy next door! He has sworn a lot to me imiating his dad though so I am not that keen on him playing with him! He has white blond curls and is always naked, he looks like an angel but isnt! Everytime we are outside he has his head over the fence so it is unavoidable!
Kel - Glad you survuved the heat and still had a good time, sounds like Lil enjoyed the sleeping arrangements! Hope work was ok and separation from Liam was bareable. Beau says "Mine" too - I have consciously not said it to him ever..where do they get it from???
Kris- Hey I hope you are getting some more sleep with Ethan now- you all sound well, dont blame you not keeping up with much! How are you coping with all the washing? I only have B and I wash EVERY day!
Dis - Hope you have survived without DH the last few days and your mum has been a good help. Bless her coming to stay with you! I think Beau has been a little better with his shyness too - love little Ben, he is probbaly so glad to be the centre of attention now if he can, he will play with anyone who will play with him! Good on little Jared having such big sleeps for you!
Us - I think I am ovulating a few days after I think I really am, DH just wants to do it whenever and just get pregnant boy or girl! Needless to say we had a spontaneous DTD on Sunday after O...could be another little Beau on our hands he he
xxx
Dang it is quiet round these parts......
Have had a horror of a day with Beau, we went to playgroup this morning for the first time this year and he had his shy face on which was Ok, but after his nap he did his semi-usual crying for about an hour after he woke up pooey....then was just a massive grump/clingon for the rest of the night and being naughty!!!! Agghh!!! Am working all day tomorrow so DH is going to have him all day.......ok my rant is over! There was a little 4wk old premmie boy at playgroup and it made me think of all the little bubbas in here! Ooohh he was so cute!
HEllo hello....tis quiet in here, I suppose everyone is busy with bubs and niceish weather!
Jen- happy O day...hope you got lots of DTD in!!! So, DH is happy for either.....is he just clucky now? Have a great day at work.
Kel; glad you had a nice time away, shame it was too hot. Always good to get away though. Hows Lil going with her sleep? And Liam?
Hey Kristie- hows it going with Ethan? He must be keeping you busy as we dont see much of you around. Must catch up again soon.
Has anyone seen Kaz and Von?
Mel- hows it going with Jared>?
Us-we had agreat night sleep, Becca slept from 9pm to 6 and is back to sleep. Olivias day sleeps are still up the putt, yesterday she slept on our walk and woke up grumpy. Shes probably had 3 sleeps in the past 2 weeks. If she sleeps during the day now, she isnt tired til about 9pm, if she doesnt I struggle to keep her awake and she goes to bed 7pm if I can hold her out. Thats if she doesnt fall asleep at the table! Shes doing great with her words, stringing together3 to 4 words at a time. She has a huge vocab and now shes spontaniously telling us she loves us. It melts my heart. Shes constantly singing too...and squealing!!! Ok better go feed her some breakfast
Kris, so good to hear from you! How did Louis go with kinder? Did your heart break when he went in, being so grown up and all? I'm sending off Ben's kinder application next week and it's already killing me...and he won't be going for another year yet
Kel, Geez, it's been bloody hot down in Adelaide. You poor thing! Glad you decided to stay indoors as much as possible. I can't imagine taking a bub out in this heat. It's not much better up here today, and tomorrow is going to be even worse
Jen, have fun DTD! Craig is keen for a girl next time, so we might have to be a bit more controlled about when we DTD. I don't mind, I'd be happy with three boys, but he was a little princess, who will no doubt have him wrapped around her little finger!
Urgh on the infatuation with the little boy next door. Would be much better if he was a good kid huh? We have a little girl next door to us who is obsessed with Ben and he just couldn't care less about her The poor little thing!
Mel, I can't believe Liv has given up day sleeps! That would kill me! How long does she sleep for at night? Ben only sleeps 9-10hrs so he definitely needs a long day sleep.
We've been good. Well, apart from my migraine on Thursday night - just after mum left! Grrrr... Craig had to stay home from work to help with the boys as I was good for nothing except being a cow and then going back to bed. Jared's poo has been green since, so I'm not sure if it was the panadol or something about the migraine that stuffed him up. Wasn't even worth taking the panadol since it does nothing!
Ben has been great. We can get nothing past him anymore, he doesn't miss a thing. He even knows Craig's routine. On Tuesdays, Craig works a second job and it's the only weekday where he'll come home and have a beer. Ben decided to help last Tuesday and when Craig got home, he went to the fridge, got out a beer and took it to his daddy! Not good with glass bottles, but still very cute! It's amazing how much they take in right now!
Gotta go, I have a lovely home-made hamburger waiting for me
