lea: ive been going to weight watchers...only lost 3.2kgs in about 10 weeks i put it on then i lose some then next week ive put it on again...its very disheartning, sorry to hear about your arm...hope its nothing serious

jjj: yay on jorja rolling...lucys never going to roll the way she is going, she hates being on her tummy

im feeling a bit dumb atm i was researching bottles because i was having trouble with lucys advent bottles leaking and i came across all the stuff about bpa?? so when i told my husband about it and mind you i was having a little panic...i went an bought bpa free bottles.lucy has taken to the new bottles well, we got mam ultrivent, they are suposed to be good for reflux

hope everyone is well
tasha

Hi everyone :) Its been a while since I posted in here, I've been coming in & keeping up to date but just not posting!

Lea Sorry to hear about your arm, I hope it heals soon! I saw somewhere in a post that someone recently picked up a hammock off ebay for $50... maybe have a look on there. Of course you have to be lucky to get one in your area in the first place (unless you're happy to pay postage)

Lucylu Yes I've heard that about the bottles too. Not sure if DS's has it or not (:redface:) I was going to buy all glass bottles at one stage but just dont have the money atm. We only heat the bottles in hot water not in microwave which is supposed to be better.

jjj woohoo for jorja rolling! Tobias hasn't rolled since that first time weeks ago that DH saw (I didnt even see it so not sure if it ACTUALLY happened lmao) He rolls onto his side but thats it that I've seen so far!

Kellie I saw your other post about the fire.... alot of excitement & also so scary!! So cute about Lily walking up the stairs.... its nice being a parent isn't it.... so proud :)

niamh I hear you on the weight! I HATE my figure too, especially my boobs :( Good luck with losing yours :goodluck:

Me Things as far as the kids go are fantastic atm. Tobias has been sleeping through the night really well the past week 12-13 hours, he's always been a good sleeper sleeping between 8 & 11 hours before then but its so nice going to bed knowing I shouldn't have to get up before a reasonable hour. I feel guilty talking about it in here as I know some of you are still having probs but I hope we're all sleeping through soon!
He's feeding well, he has about 5 bottles a day & seems to have got his day sleeps sorted out now. He was going through a stage of not settling through the day but now he has his play in his bouncer with his toys after a feed then gives a little whinge when hes ready for bed, so I change his nappy & he goes to bed. Even if he doesnt want to sleep straight away he lays in there looking at his mobile or in his little mirror on the side of the cot sometimes having a little chat LOL What a relief!
They had a photo taken with santa (in my gallery), Brianna was so excited to see Santa she went all shy when she approached him & had a nervous little smile on her face, it was soooo cute! She introduced Tobias to Santa & asked for an Elmo live. It was really sweet because Santa told her that he enjoyed the biscuits she left out last year with the glass of milk & Brianna was impressed that he remembered "her house" hehehehe Christmas is getting better with every passing year with Brianna, so much fun!

Well I better be off now, I hope you're all well :)

Hello ladies,
boy that took awhile to catch up on everything.....LOL

Everyone sounds well, mostly.

Lea your poor arm, i pulled my arm holding Tom too much and it killed to even breathe but it only took 12hrs to feel better, i hope you get better soon.

Danielle, go the kids sleep, Tom sleeps 9hrs a night most nights nice, if only evie would LOL.

Kell, whats this about a fire?? Clever Lil for walking the stairs for you :)

JJJ; clever girl for rolling, i have been stopping Tom the past few days so he can do it for the first time when DH is home to see !

Niamh: WW is slow but it does work in the long run....stick with it :)

US; well Grace did her first dancing concert the other day...talk about pride, it was one of the best days of my life. She wasnt scared and remembered all the steps, she got a trophy at the end, she was one of four to get one out of 100 or so kids. Now they want her to do 4 classes next year in tap, jazz, ballet and eisteddfod (sp?) for the under 6 and under 8.....i am a bit suprised as she wont be 5yrs til end of april....its her first year of school next year so i worry that it will be too much, but then again she loved the stage and if you are good at something and are having fun why not.......i dont really like jazz either as it can almost always be too sexy for little girls (or that is what i think)...

Eve is normal evie, VERY two and still not sleeping great but that will end sometime, last night was great but that was because she went to sleep in my bed (naughty naughty LOL)

Thomas man is wonderful, sleeps well, feeds well and is now starting to play, so cute. Like i said i am not letting him roll as i want DH to be able to see it,

Me: I joined the gym this morning so ill see how that goes, with WW too im hoping to get there.... DH 30th yesterday so loads of people up, had a wonderful dinner out YUM and then went to a wedding....not much sleep this weekend but for grown up reasons - so much more fun :)

Sorry its been so long i do try to drop in and read how everyone is doing, but if i have a long time i just want to be sewing :)

Thanks for the sms lea :D

lmao I only just started making my thank you cards last week, haven't finished yet haha. I thik I'll just put them inside the Christmas cards when I post those out (thank yous/ birth announcements are photo size) so you're not alone there hun!!!

I totally understand the being proud of your daughter dancing. Brianna did dance class early last year & I will be putting her back in next year. She is also doing a dance concert for kindy which I have the music to so she's shown me hehe.
Well done Grace! I bet she looked wonderful!

our babes are growing up waaayyy too fast ... !! 3 months :o

hehe i put Gab in a huggies NB sposie yesterday , i had a huge backlog of washing and was helping my sis move house .. and she still fit in to them !!! i think Gab is about 5.7kgs now ... she is growing way to fast and i just want to put a stop to it !!!

i had an UCW party the other week and got all my stuff yesterday .. i had to send it all back and swap it for size 10's !! woot .. as i got all size 12s thinking thats what i usually am.. but i reallyhope i get it all back by next month .. i have DH's xmas party to go to and want to look good .. not sure if i want to co conservative ( maxi dress ) or dress my age ( 24) .. DH says i should dress like a sexy sl%t coz he still thinks im hot ... but all i see is my pouch (flabby tummy) anyways , going to the shops to escape boredom today , so ill see what i can find ...

i say dress like your dh says too, its nice that he thinks your a sexy thing! go your age, so much nicer for your dh too see you as a sexy thing rather than just a housewife all the time! you will have more fun in a sexy dress too!

re the nappies, Tom is in crawler nappies (is it 5-11kgs) and they look too small! i have had to make the bumgenious bigger already too... will have to weigh soon but am thinking over 7kgs for sure :)

Anyone feeling tried, join curves! so much fun and you feel SO much better. Free joining and you get jan 09 free too! its not like a normal gym :P

Im here, just been lurking :redface:

I must say i have been busy too though. And everyone was sick for a while.

I cant get over how big everyone's babies are!! C hasnt even hit 5kg yet, shes about 4.5kg and just starting to go completely into 000 now. Still wearing some of her 0000. She wears the infant huggies and she has heaps of room in them. It would be awesome if we could get all our babies together to see the size differences.

C has found her hands, isnt it so cute. Shes like oh i have these things here, they look good to suck on.

Im a bit worried C might be getting sick again. After coming out of hospital she has been a totally different baby. Very settled and happy. The last few days she has been irritable and acting like she did before. She's not feeding proparly either. I dont know what to do with her though cos she has no real symptoms. She had a temp last week but it went away.

I have been having a terrible time with my stomach. So much for "once you give birth it will all settle down". Last week i had what happened to me when i was pregnant, happen again, just without vomiting blood. Everything else was exactly the same. I went to the dr and he said i have to keep taking the meds indefinately now and its probably going to take years to get over. Im getting a second opinion this week.

I have been scrapbooking and sewing, which has been nice :)

Lea, i hope your arm gets better. Woooo on ur UCW and yay on being a size smaller :D

jjj, how exciting on the rolling :D

I hope the rest of you are all well :D

MIlly , there is a curves near me ... do they have child care there ... wont be able to go unless they do !!

Kiristi , do get a 2nd opinion and i hope your feeling better today .. Hope C is ok too ... she still sounds tiny , but then was tiny born ... just may be a petite one , Gab is about 5.7 and can still wear 0000 pants and tops but the all in one siuts are small .. its funny she is pudgy but in a small way ..

anyway .. my arm is not as sore any more , its like the bones are aching , not the muscles ... but other than that im good .. Gad is good too .. not much to report .... Gab is becoming a little chatterbox and a blankie sucker .. if you put a blaket on her she does her best impression of pulling it up to her mouth and shoving it in there .. so cute !!

Hi girls,

I'm still around too, just too lazy to post! And not much is happening...
Liam has been rolling from his back to his belly. He gets a bit of a shock whenever he does it, it's funny! And he loves to chat and is so smiley. Lily was never a really smiley bub, I mean she was happy enough but was a bit stingy with smiles and laughs. But Liam will smile at anything! And he's giggled a few times too, it is the best sound!
We got his immunisations finally! He's been ok, a little bit sooky yesterday and pretty sleepy the past few days too, but ok otherwise, no fever or anything. Lily had to have hers too. I was imagining them both being horrible for a few days, but they have done well!
As for all of your tiny bubs, well...mine is a giant compared! He's got to be about 7kgs now, and I can even put size o's on him and not look like they're too big, just a bit roomy. He fits perfectly into 00 now though.

Lea, I hear you on losing your muffin top...mine's dreadful! I've never been so fat in my life :( I hate how I look. Though on the upside this morning I got on the scales and I had lost a kg without even trying! But I have so much to lose I don't think the first few will be all that hard to lose. I am down a few kg's on my weight I was after I had Lil, so that's good I guess. And yay for you being a size smaller than you thought! I wish I had that problem, LOL!
With your arm, have you thought of carpel tunnel syndrome? I get a pretty bad ache in my arm sometimes after feeding or holding Liam for a long time, and that's what the physio said it might be.

Danielle, yeah the fire was a bit scarey. In the end it wasn't really all that bad, there was a bit of damage in the garage, a few pipes burnt, but not anything like it seemed it would be at the time!
Wow, at Tobias sleeping so well, you're a lucky woman! I wish my kids would get that sleep is a good thing! I'm still up anywhere between 4 (a good night) to 7+ times a night!
How cute Brianna sounds with santa. Lily saw a santa at our local shops and nearly jumped ot of the trolley into my arms, he scared her! So I don't think we'll be getting photos this yr with her in them.....I will try though!

Milly, we had a car get set on fire in our garage (we live in units). Some stupid idiot put petrol over three cars and set them alight and one of the pertol tanks blew up. DH went down there and tried to put it out, but the firehoses didn't work :o . We ended up having to be evacuated and the firies and police were called. It was an eventful night!
Good on you joining the gym and WW. I wish we could afford the gym. I like going to the gym, I always feel so good after going. I lost weight with ww a few yrs ago, about 10kgs. I like their food plans, they're so easy to follow an I never felt hungry. Good luck!

Kristi, sorry to hear your tummy is still playing up. I hope you can get it sorted before a few yrs!

Ok gotta go, Liams up and hungry....hi to anyone i have missed and i hope you are all well!

Hi all,

Lilias - Yay on the rolling its so cute isn't it. Jorja rolled from her belly to her back and now she won't do it again! They are so cute when they smile.

Kristi - I hope you are feeling better soon. I agree with the others definatly get a second opinion.

Charmlea - glad to hear your arm is feeling better. I had and still have pain in my neck, back and shoulders. I think its a combo of holding/feeding Jorja and the fact my boobs are so much bigger now and pulling on everything. I thought they were big before having her, man they are HUGE now :(

I can't believe how much Jorja has grown up. Shes now out of all the 000 clothes and in 00 and some 0. OMG i thought she was big so i'm glad to see there are others out there in a similar size. self fish yes... as long as she is walking by semptember next year, otherwise my bridesmaids will be carrying her down the isle :lol:
Did her xmas shopping today I can't believe how quickley it all adds up. I still need to get a present for the wishing tree from her.
Shes feeding well. She went through a stage where she was sleeping through her 11pm feed and not waking until about 1am.I so enjoyed that block of sleep. Don't know what happened, now shes up at 11pm, 1am, 4am, 6am....ahhhhh
I've been very busy cleaning out my house. I'm having a HUGE garage sale with a friend on the weekend. i can't believe how much stuff i have accumulated!!!!!
I've been busy trying to find dress patterns for my bridesmaids. Why is it I just can't find what i want. I think i'll have to put together a design and take it to the dressmaker..hmmm more $$$.....

OMG - ddoes anyone else have problems with black ants?? I had to wipe out all my cupboards and clean all my dished on the weekend. My bench was covered in ants. i couldn't find any food or anything they would have been after... and then today i found hundreds down the back of my lounge. i clean my house every 2 days (yes...sad i know :lol: so i don't know why they keep coming back!!!!

I should get going... washing and dishes to do.

Jen xx

other than me having mastitis in my RIGHT(for once its not my left) side and severe lower back pain , and nixon having sleeping issues and Gabriella having colic/refulx attacks and DH having tonsilitis , not much is happening ...

I'm on facebook too if anyone wants to add me, Kellie Slade.

jjj I'll add you :)

Kellie hmmmm I'm sure I haven't added you yet, I'll do it today :)

Kristi I hope C managed to avoid getting sick hun

Me We finally got a date to get Tobias Christened. But to fit in with family it has to be on a Friday night at 6pm :o Not what I was really after but our church cant do it on the Sunday for some reason & MIL cant make it on the Sat as its a special birthday for her & she spends the day in Coogee (I'm a little annoyed she couldn't either miss one year or turn up/leave late or early but anyway)
My parents are only in the state from 22nd Dec til 17th Jan & since our church doesn't do christenings on some weekends the only weekend we could do it so my parents didnt miss out was the 10th - 11th Jan, so now its going to be on Fri 9th Jan. Never heard of one being on a Fri night before, I really hope people can make it!
Things have started to get on top of me abit at times & I've got a very short fuse so I'm hoping to make an appt to see the councillor soon, I just haven't had a chance to do it but I must!
My backs been playing up, I have to go to a physio. Will also look into getting another breast reduction since the last surgeon didnt do his job & didnt give me what I paid for (Left them big, #*@!) $3000, you'd expect to get what you pay for! Anyway, I'm going to look into that.
I had the information night last week for Brianna starting Pre-school next year. Its very exciting but sad aswell because I only have her for one more year then she's off to "big school" 5 days a week :(

I think thats about it, Tobias is calling from his room so I better go get him!!

Kel, i found a kellie slade on FB but im not sure if its you .. the profile pic is of a lady with long brown hair ,is tha you ?? Jenni i added you as well , but there was no pic ... and said there was a garage sale on too .. was that you ??

:o lucy is 6.22kgs no wonder my arms are gettin strong:lol:

aww lucy sounds like shes going great guns !!Natasha , i think i found you on FB .. ... havent had Gabriella weighed in aaages , i bet shes over the 6kg mark too .. she is so pudgy in the belly and her fat rolls on her legs are soo cute !! i wonder how every one else is ??

Hi girls,

Liam is about 7.2kgs, just weighed him on our scales with me. He's a bit of a chubber, though he's quite tall too. As I said before, he's in 00-0 already.
He's doing really well. He's rolling like there's no tomorrow and drives me insane cause he can roll onto his tummy, but not really the other way yet. He can, but hasn't figured out that's what he needs to do when he gets stuck. LOL! I have gotten out the sit in toy thing that Lily had. She loved it when she was little. He's a bit small for it yet, but it gets him sitting and not on the floor or porta cot rolling!
He slept really well last night (yay!) from 9-3, then 5.30, then 8.30! Wooohoooo!!! Pity Lily had a bad night, up 4 times I think, then at 6.30, though that is a sleep in for her!
Well that's about it for now, should go and do some house work....:rolleyes:

yep...i'm the one with the garage sale its going to massive!!!! So much to sell.
not much happening so i'll check in again soon.

Hope everyone is well.

Jen xx

Ahhhh so much on, boy has the silly season hit here! Have had things on everyday and sometimes 2 things.... and tomorrow FOUR.....something has got to give, Its insane :) Will be happy when all the end of year stuff is over and we can just relax into the new year...

Hope everyone is well :)

Wow, we're quiet in here, everyone must be busy with baby, toddlers and christmas!

Well, we are good. We have had a really good few days. Liam is sleeping ok, waking a few times a night for booby then going straight back to sleep, he's sleeping well in the day time too. I think he's teething too, his gums are really red and swollen where his canine teeth will be. Lily did the same too, but didn't get any teeth for ages, and those ones didn't pop up til about 4mths ago! But he's definatey teething...drool galore, red red cheeks and chewing anything he can get into his mouth. He's a booby monster, trying to get at it all the time if I'm holding him and feeding probably 2hrly in the day time still. He's a piggy! He's rolling absolutely everywhere now and gets from one side of the loungeroom to the other in no time.
We have been busy with chrissy gatherings the past few weekends, and will be until chrissy now too, busy busy. I am yet to start chrissy shopping for people other than the kids (and neice and nephew). I'm waiting on the gov't money to come in, then I will go mad, I luuuurrrrve christmas. I have to put up our tree, and mums too, with the kids (and neice and nephew).
Ok Liam is up again, must go, I hope everyone is well!

We're still here, I usually read but haven't been bothered posting (sorry!!)

Things have been a little stressful here between DH & I. I still haven't managed to make an appointment for my councilling session, hopefully once I start that things might start looking up for us. It's been real bad the past few days :( He's in the middle of exams, only 2 left... one tomorrow night & the last one on Thurs night so hopefully once thats over with he wont be so stressed & with me getting councilling hopefully things will be good.
Thank goodness for the kids sleeping through the night, I think with our marital probs I would just lose it if I was sleep deprived, so although they dont know it, they are helping me in a major way.
We have the BB meetup this Sunday which I'm looking forward to, its a shame you wont be there Kellie, would have liked to have met you & your family! But it should be a good day :)
I've been so busy with Christmas get togethers etc that time is just slipping away. I finally got Tobias a pressy today but still need to let Brianna pick one for him & a few more to buy :doh:

I am looking forward to Christmas & I'm mainly enjoying the lead up to it, I love hearing the Christmas carols in shops & seeing decorations etc it makes me feel happy.

Anyway, I hope everyone is well & enjoying the Christmas season. How nice was the weather today?!
