WOOHOOO Tasha, congrats!!! That's a bit more of a gap than I have between my two. I't hard work, but lots of fun and they will love each other like there's not tomorrow!!

Happy bday Milly, hope you had a wonderful day.

Lily and Liam are both really sick, they have bronchiolitis. Lily is just horrible. Poor little thing has no idea what she wants. She's just crying and whinging. Liam isn't as sick as her (yet) so isn't too bad. He is sick, just not as bad. Hopefull he stays ok. I'm thinking we are going to have a terrible night!

[Tegam]

hope you get some sleep tonight Lilias

[BrightSparkles]

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrsFabuloso]

Nope, no sleep here....don't expect any tonight either. I'm sooo tired! Both Lil and Li have already woken up once each and they've only been in bed for an hour!

Thanks Ladies.... had a great bday. Got a new bike with trailer so can do school drop off and pick up with all three kids in the bike (will look like a freak but good exercise)

Also had my first session with a personal trainer! OMG my legs are jelly. We met down on the beach so nice view... have paid for 50 visits so better have nice bum at the end! have lost 11kgs and 43cms since xmas....hoping to do the same again in the next 10 weeks! ahhhh h the pain!

[MrsFabuloso]

Heeeelllllooooooo, Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tegam, you bike thingy sounds great, it will be wonderful exercise!! Have you used it yet?
Yay @ going to the gym too. I wish I had time and could afford it. I used to love going when I had a membership. I just can't get the motivation to do anything at the moment. And we don't have the money to pay for anything at the mo...Ahhh, well, one day!!

Well, we are still struggling with sleep here. Kids still a bit unwell and now DH is sick too. Luckily enough it seems to have skipped me Thank goodness!! But I'm copping the sleepless nights cause DH is sick and needs to sleep. As I type he's asleep on the lounge with Lily.
Lily has started waking in the middle of the night screaming and wanting to get up. She just cries for no apparent reason and is driving me nuts. This results in Liam waking and wanting to feed. It takes like and hour or so to get everyone back to bed I'm so over it all, I jsut want my kids to 'get' sleeping....I so need more than 2 hrs sleep at a time. I've gotten used to living off 4hrs broken sleep.
Liam is starting to stand on his own, letting go of the furniture for a few seconds when he cruises around. He so cute!! He's starting to make hilarious faces and likes to make us laugh at him. He's saying dada, mumumum and bohbuh (booboo- means: booby, I want a feed!).
Well thats about it at my place. Sick kidlets, sick daddy, mummy very tired and over it all. I've had more day off work in the last two weeks than I've been there! Happens when you have kids I guess....
Well, I hope everyone is ok and doing well!!

Hello...

Just wanted to say hi!

Tom has just got his 3rd tooth and working on his 4th...going to look a real crack up as he had his middle bottom 2 and will have his 2 either side of the top middle (make sense). So he will look very funny. Just standing and a bit of cruzing. Thinking his about 9 or more kgs but still really long not fat IYKWIM??

hows everyone else?

[BrightSparkles]

Hi Girls!
Things going ok here. I'm suffering a bit at the moment with PND and Jorja not sleeping properly.
She just through her 7th tooth. She too is about the 9 kgs mark and really long not fat LOL

Shes going through this stage where she is screaming every hour during the night too.

I have someone here at the moment to do quotes for the floor coverings in our house, FINALLY the owner hats agreed to replace all floor coverings and is wanting to do this ASAP. YAY!!!!

Wedding plans are happening. just waiting now for people start RsVP'ing I wait for the honeymoon, looking forward to the break away for a few days.

Hope everyone is doing well. xxx

aww Jenn , i hope your doing OK .. there are times where i think i should be back on meds .. but then im too scared to admit it again so i just go on silently ... trying to keep one step ahead of it really ...

wowwee on all the teeth ... Gabriella is yet to pop any yet !
and she has just started to pull herself up on things .. not for verylong tho as her dodgy leg (that NOONE will look at) is a bit weaker than the other so she cant really hold her self up for too long .

she is still 7.4 kgs .. and i have all these size 0 clothes in winter things that i simply cant use , had to go buy winter clothes in 00 to fit her other wise all the 0 clothes are waaay too long and wide and slide right off her , its annoying as im thiniking she will have a massive groth spurt and all the 00 will go to waste ..

have a pead appt next week to "asses" her , prolly will be supplemented with something, as shes gone from 50th percentile to hovering above the 10th ... BUT if you see my FB pics of her , shes totally fine just had 400gm weight loss back in april and only a gain of 60 since .( all the weighins have been on the same scales so i know its not just differnt sclaes trying to tell me different things kwim)

shes eating 3 times (plus snacks ) and BF 4-6 times a day .. maybe she will grow to be slim and beautiful and make losts of money so she can set mummy and daddy up for retirement !!!!!

Hi girls

Jenni Sorry you're suffering atm, are you on meds? I hope Jorja sleeps through for you soon & gives you a well deserved rest.

Lea I saw the photos on FB, G is soooooo cute! & you're right, she doesn't look underweight at all, she looks lovely!

Milly Well done on Thomas cruising! So exciting!!!

Kellie I hope everyone is sleeping a bit more since your last post, I cant imagine how sleep deprived you are!! Well done for Liam standing alone.... wow!

AFM No teeth for Tobias yet, but thinking they cant be too far away now. Brianna was about 11 months when she got her first. Tobias is cruising heaps & when I take his hands he walks towards me (not alone). He's still not saying much, only mumma, golly & very rarely he says bubba. I cant remember if Brianna was a late talker, I do remember she was saying Mumma at 6 months & Dadda at 8 months. DH is patiently waiting to hear Dadda
I have been very busy here with alot happening in my personal life. I will be moving to the Gold Coast in the middle of this month.... without DH. I am looking forward to it but DH isn't taking it too well. Its a long story & I have another thread explaining everything (as best I can on a public forum) So I will probably be offline for a few weeks while I find a place & set up home.

I hope everyone is well & getting sleep where needed!

[Tegam]

aww Dannielle, if you need a hand in QLD , just PM ... id love to catch up once your all settled in

ha ha bet you too it! lol

[*charmalea*]

we could share her

[MrsFabuloso]

Hey, everyone's been in here, yay!!!! I've been checking, but noone was posting so I gave up and
didn't visit for a while, I felt like a nigel no friends, LOL!

Jenn, sorry to hear you're having a bit of a hard time. I hope things are improving for you. Sleep deprivation does horrible things to you. I've been sleep deprived for 2 yrs now...it sucks! But you do eventually get used to functioning on 4hrs broken sleep!
WOW, Jorja has sooo many teeth!! Liam has 2 1/2...he's working on a few at the moment.

Lea, I've seen your pics on FB and Gabriella looks absolutely perfect to me. Very robust, healthy and happy!! I don't think theres anything to worry too much about. As you say, maybe she's just going to be slim and small. There has to be some children in the lower/higher percentiles to make the weight bell curve, if all kids were average, then it wouldn't be a curve!! And it sounds to me like she's eating plenty! I don't take Liam to the MCHN anymore and my GP doesn't weigh him at all. SHe just looks at him and says he's happy and healthy, which is what I think too!

Danielle, That's great that things are moving along with your move. I bet you're happy to be moving closer to your sis! I'm sure Brianna and Tobias will love being closer to their cousins there too.

We are going ok. Sleep still and issue, but I try not to dwell on it too much, or I'll go crazy. DH and I have decided to wait til August when Liam is one, and DH has 2 weeks off work and we will address all of the issues with both kids together (not sleeping, patting/rocking/feeding to sleep, sleeping in our bed, dummies....the list is endless!!)and support each other. I couldn't do it while he's working on my own. I'm too run down and tired to be consistent without any support. It will be one hell of a week or two, I'm sure!!
Liam is saying a few words now- mumma, dada, ball, booboo(booby, so cute in the middle of the night when he wakes up saying a quiet little 'booboo...mumma'), bubba. He has stood by himself some more and will walk when I hold his hands. I think he might walk soon (then I'll never sit down, LOL!) Lily was almost walking by this age too, I think she was 10 1/2 mths when she walked.

Anyway, I hope everyone is well.

[MrsFabuloso]

OMGoodness.....HELLOOOOOOOO, anybody here????????????????????????????????????

Where is everyone? You all have more exciting lives than me obviously...two posts from me at once!

Hope all is well with everyone.

We are going ok. Liam is teething I think he might be getting a few at once, and is the devil incarnate at the moment...though he is eating like a trojan and sleeping is ok. Last night it was just two wake ups, and up at 7am. That's great for us!
A few questions, how many day sleeps are your bubbas having. Li has 3 usually though some days only 2 if he wakes after 7am. I think he might be growing out of one (NOOOOOO!!!!!!). And those of you bfing, how many feeds are your bubs having? Liam has maybe 4-7 a day is 4 too little? He usually has at least 2 feeds at night, and 4 in the day. Plus a tonne of food!

Ok well, that's all the excitement at my house....I know, I know, I live on the edge!

Hope you're all well.
