Hello, so good to hear from someone. Just on my way out at the mo, but want to say, Congrats on the arrival of bubby!!
I remember those days....well actually I don't remember so well, thoy passed in a bit of a blur! The first few months of DS's life for me were pretty hazy from sleep deprivation. But it's so great to see your kids love each other and grow up together. My two adore each other.
hey all ! well gabbi is a talker , she will talk the socks off anyone !!! she has sooo many words and says 2 or 3 in a row , her favorite is "giddy up horsey" as she gallops around .
still under 10 kgs but she is getting taller , still on a gluten , dairy , yeast and fructose free diet and it makes life a bit tricky but luckily its not life threatening .
DH got the snip on thurs , so no more babes for us . we are so proud to have our boy and girl that we felt we didnt want any more .
we are getting a beagle pup in 2 weeks , i cant wait , its gabbis favourite thing too , she just loves puppies !! lol so cute , when we visit it she spends the whole time kisiing it .
have a good weekend !!
Congrats Lea, nice to know when your family is complete. So glad you got that VBAC you wanted!
Kel: sorry to hear your back is sore. Hope DH can help out a bit.
US: Tom has found his words, 3 weeks ago there was very little now his is not clear but talking non stop. Grace was naughty at school yesterday (well she told a lie to the teacher) I WAS AWAKE ALL night! It was insane, like i was going to get in trouble LOL. Poor Grace, i think its all the emotions of the house this last month, it wasnt like her at all. The teacher was great and all is forgotten now (well she doesnt get tuck shop for the rest of term ) Evie is enjoyig Preschool tap and jazz! she is so ready for kindy...its going to be a longgggggg year waiting LOL.
Me: im getting there. Still sad, sore, angry ect but thats normal. would just like to TTC soon but DH is way off that, maybe never we'll see. But that being said generally im back playing mummy so i hope the kids get back on track again soon too! Im going out to dinner tonight with the girls sothat should be a nice change.
Hi girls, sorry no personals, feeling very mentally exhausted. Good to see everyone else seems to be doing well. Just a special for Milly, hope your DH is happy to start TTC soon xxx
We're travelling pretty well here. DS has started daycare 1 day a week so I can have a day for appointments etc when needed. He loves it, doesnt cry at all, eats well & loves his new little friends! But at the end of the day he is exhausted. I pick him up a couple of hours after DD finishes school so DD & I can have a couple hours each week just the 2 of us.
I also have a date this weekend, my first ever date (besides meeting a man off RSVP once who did the buddy walk with me) it's a guy I went to school with (3 yrs above me) he saw me on a dating site & contacted my twin sister asking what was going on as he thought I was married, she filled him in & he emailed me. We've been smsing since & so far so good Anyway, if it turns out we just get along well as friends at least its someone else I have to hang out with on my weekends alone while the kids are at their dads. So I'm feeling pretty good i that dept.
Things have been going well with J. Shes going though a stage of pushing boundries in a massive way - i think it's age and the fact there is another baby on the way.
Got the words shoes happening...e verything is about her shoes LOL
Other than that... things were great until today... feel free to check out my other thread. (can't mention too much in here...)
Lea, Liam is a chatterbox too. As is Lily, I'm sooo glad that they have each other to natter at! They have conversations with each other and Liam just babbles back at Lily, it's so funny!
Have fun with your new fur baby! I can't wait til we can get a dog. And I adore Beagles! They are just too cute!
Tegam, my back is getting better, but I have had the week off work. DH is home for the week thank goodness and I have literally done nothing for the past few days. Though today I'm going to try to do a bit. I need to get back into it! Plus I'm just getting sooo bored!
Big hugs for you to hun. It will take time for things to settle for you.
Danielle, yay that T likes daycare! Liam loves it too, though screams when I leave, but 5mins later he's fine and has the time of his life. He only goes to occaisional care though, so nothing really regular, but generally it's once a week when I go to work and DH isn't home to look after the kids.
Yay on the date! How exciting for you. I think I would be petrified if I was dating again. I'm so not good at dates, lol! Hope you have fun!
Sunshine, lol with the shoes. Lily went through a shoe stage too, actually she's still pretty attached to certain pairs and will run around the house naked with just her favourite shoes on!
As for us, well, we are moving in the next 3mths. YAY!!!! We are going out to Cobar, which is waaayyy out west in NSW. Country. Outback. I am actually really looking forwards to it. It is with Dh work. We will only be out there for 4yrs, unless we want to stay longer. I sooo need a change from this *****hole! I hate living here. And we will have a house out there, with a yard and bedrooms for both of my kids, and DH and I might have another bub. I'm sooo excited, lol!!
Ok enough from me. Gosh I can blabber on! Hope everyone is well
Hope everyone had a great long weekend! Ours was very quiet. We just had family dinner on Sunday with my bro, SIL, neice and nephew and mum come over. I didn't get the kids much chocolate and we aren't religious at all, so no church or anything! We had a little egg hunt inside our unit, which was fun for Lil, but Li had no idea, and ran around like an excited puppy, lol! DH worked most of the weekend too, so no fun with him, plus it rained most of the time. Bit miserable really!! As well as that Lil has a UTI and has been a bit miserable on and off for the past few days. I think Liam might be getting his 2yo molars because his sleep has been disturbed again. He's waking 2ish times a night. Not happy Jan!! Plus the fact that daylight savings has stuffed his sleep up even more! The other day we were up at 4.40am! Ugh!! Hoping tomorrow is not too early, anything after 6 is ok with me!
Hope everyone is well
Tobias ist talking still, he's lost all his words except "mum" "mumma" etc & "hi". He only ever got up to about 5 or 6 words but they've been gone for months now Apparently he has glue ears (both ears) which would explain the no talking as it would mean he cant hear very well. He has another check up in a month to see if he'll need the gromets (sp?). I was looking back through DD's milestones as I updated her "first 5 yrs book" & saw she said her first sentence at 20 months old ("look mum, a balloon") I feel sad that Tobias isnt able to communicate with me the way Brianna could & does. Hopefully soon
I hope everyones well & had a lovely Easter. We're off to the Gold Coast tomorrow for 2 weeks!!
Dani. Lil had bad ears and we didn't know about it til she was about 18ish mths old. THe ent suggested we stop giving her dairy products because he has found therE to be a correlation between the two, plus he didn't want to operate on her (for grommets) if he didn't have to. We did for a while and it worked her ears cleared up and were all good again. When we reintroduced dairy they got bad again. Maybe try no dairy for a while and see what happens?
Ah Danielle, sounds like the little man cant hear very well. I dont think you should be worried about your communication level being different to that of Brianna. I have three of the little buggers and nothing has been the same. You communicate in so many more ways then words. I am sure that Mr Tobias knows how to get the message across. Kels idea of cutting down on dairy sounds like a good start. You dont want him to have an op if he doesnt need one.
Kel: Easter sounds nice, sorry DH had to work. Mine got home at 11am on sunday so it was a very painful wait for the hunt for the kids. Grace and Evie went wild and Tom really got it. Well he didnt know you could eat the eggs but loved finding them for me. We hid over 200 little eggs (Dont worry the kids didnt really get any.....my butt can prove this. Some are still hid in the freezer). It was a lovely day and mum and dad came over for a roast lunch/dinner.
How is everyone else?
We are all settling into the house. STill heaps of unpacking to get done but i bet im still saying that in 12 months.......
I am doing better. I still get very tired quickly and my brain is running at about 70-80%. If only i could have a few days away from the kids im sure it would speed things up. As it is im getting there. I have been in a ferral mood the last week. I think that i have just started to process the loss mentally. I also think its the fact that i am having me 2nd visit from AF..... i just want to have another bubba.... times running out and i know i know if i stress it wont happen and the worse the mood the less BDing! But hey im trying..... It would just be so lovely to hold one more baby. I dont talk about this with anyone else as they make me feel bad for the three i have. I know how lucky i am, i love the ones i have but does that really mean i cant want another? What is the magic number that says 'thats it, you have had enough and can no longer want anymore?'
My DD was born august 22nd and her temper wow ive never seen anything like it she makes DD1 look like an angel! How does anyone here deal with temper tamtrums?
Apart from that Bellahs doing well, trying out the potty and talking lots!!
Will catch up here soon, speak of the devil and she wakes up!
Hello ladies!
Nikkie its the Leo in them that gives them the fight. I have a DD 25/4/04 and a Leo 16/8/06 then Tom 21/08/08 So we have 2 leos. Interesting I see by your ticker that you lost a bubba this month. I am so sorry for your loss. It must be a very hard time for you!
Well ladies................. ................I know i know i know DH said no more........... Welll............. we have never used any birth control and well this month DTD was more "urgent" then what time of the month it was . So while i was happy to be trying, DH was still at the "really?" . I also feel very bad for those that take so long to fall. Even with my losses i have been VERY lucky!
But i am happy to say after ****ing on one million sticks that they are all saying yes...
I will have to have a scan next week to check its in the right spot and then that horrible 12week mark then all should settle down. I want to be happy but i also want to be realistic. So please all will be ok!
Also those of FB i wont be telling anyone for a LONG time. I was over 17weeks with the others.
Milly, that is AWESOME news! Congrats! Sending you lots of Mum's the word on FB (pun intended)
Nikkie, so sorry for your loss. As for temper tantrums, so far we have been very lucky. DD is usually a fairly easy going girl and is only just starting to assert herself if things aren't going the way she wants. So watch this space!
As for me, I am due in less than four weeks. I've reached the point where I am so over being pregnant, but I am terrified to be the mother of two. So it's a bit of a conundrum! Oh well, I'm sure I will figure it out once DS arrives. My mum is staying with us for a week now and DH is in Melbourne for a wedding so it's nice to put my feet up and have 'Nanna' pick up the slack!
Erin: so glad that your mum is there to help[ out! I say suck it up while you can. Ofcourse you are feeling funny about being a mum to two. You think that everything is going to double but it really doesnt. You will have good days and bad but really thats normal with a new born. Just dont let everyone freak you out how Beth will be. Mine have a ll been fine with a new brother or sister. I think its just the way you welcome them in. I always made a point of saying, its the babys turn now for a cuddle and then used every chance when the baby was having a cry but didnt need me to hug the other kids and say, its Evies turn now. So they hear that the baby has to wait sometimes too!
Nikkie I'm so sorry for your loss
In regards to the tantrums, I'm in the same boat! DD NEVER had tantrums like DS is having, DD actually never really had tantrums at all, I have been very spoilt! OMG DS has meltdowns over the smallest things & it drives me nuts!!! Even in the supermarkets, I'm now that mother that everyone stares at & shakes their head at because my child is the "brat" thats screaming the place down Its very embarrassing & frustrating. I have no words of advice sorry because I have no experience with it but just know that you're not alone..... it looks like we're all suffering it together!
Milly CONGRATS!! So happy for you, your secret is safe with me on FB too
Erin Wow not long now!!! I'm glad your mum is there with you, put your feet up & make the most of it hun
AFM Well I was going to come in & complain about DS's temper tantrums but it seems like it may be quite normal, I just hope it passes soon enough, I cant stand it! Tobias still not talking, only "mumma" "hi" & "bye". XH had the kids this weekend & was supposedto take DS to get his follow up appt for his ears..... I'll make a bet right now that he didnt & I know I'll be right. XH was also supposed to drop in to pick up DD's readers for school so she could do some reading at his house over the weekend, I told him about it Sat morning, I'm a 20 minute drive fromhis place (only 10 mins past his GF's place so he could have come up after visiting her) but he didnt so DD misses out, he's just not interested in the kids, I get so excited watching DD read but he just doesnt care, I dont get it
Well not much new here besides the tantrums
Nikki about the loss. xx Re. Tantrums - Jorja throws MASSIVE ones lately. Age and pushing boundaries i think. She screams, throws herself on the floor, pulls her hair and spits and kicks. I tend to just walk away in a hope that she'll stop because she's not getting the attention she's looking for. Otherwise, we have a naughty chair she sits on until she is finished.
AFM- Jorja still isn't using many words. I think we have mum, dad, shoes, poo yuk, uh oh and bye... does anyone else have more words than this???
ONly 2 weeks until bubba is due so hoping that he/she decides to come soon - i didn't realise how hard being pregnant would be with a little one
Hope everyone is well and little ones are well. I can't believe they will be 2 soon!!!
