Super Cute piccies Leasha!!

I put some more on facebook, but I have to update my blog at some stage...

That is one crazy growth spurth Sasha! What size clothes is Kye in now?

For MM, Pixie and The Bear - yay for you all catching up today, can't wait to see some photos!!

Bought some Huggies Infant nappies yesterday, but wasn't quick enough changing her when we got home, gave her a feed then she was sitting up (aided) on the pillow on my lap and the rumbles cam through and OMG!!!! Pooh spurted out the side, all over the pillow and Nakita, I jsut managed to grab the side of the pillow to stop it flowing onto me!! YEEEAAAAUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! So I had to clean up Nakita, chuck a load of washing in the machine and little miss in the bath, we told her that next time she wants a bath to just let us know and that she doesn't have to poo everywhere to get a bath!!

Nakita also had her first night in the cot, in her bassinet, she slep the same so I am going to just put her in the cot tonight to see how she goes, now it is time to debate whether to keep wrapping, use a sleeping bag or sheets, last night was quite warm, but tonight will be cooler - the cool change has hit yay!!

What is everyone doing at the moment re wrapping, sleeping bags or sheets/blanket?

Well must go to the markets early before they get too busy and Nakita is sound asleep in her swing, I also must write invoices today, do washing, make lunches, clean, some friends are catching up at the beach this arvo, so if I am organised perhaps we will go for a catch up...

Have a great day!

Morning everyone,
I'm feeling very refreshed today (apart form a cold) Allegra slept all night from 12am to quarter to 8 what a little champ!

Sasha- Wow what a sporty family you may have then aaaawww just think how cute they look in there tiny little sports uniforms

Vic- nappy blow out! hee hee I had one too! Goodluck for tonight with the sleeping in the cot

Squidipa- Good on you guys thats amazing and strong of you to take on another child and provide the family they deserve I hope it works out for you.

Pixie, the bear and MM- I hope your play date goes well

Leash- Jazz is just gorgeous she looks like she's a really happy smiley baby do you get giggles now? Allegra gives us some but not very often.

Hello SB, kiwigirl, CM4E, MT and Mel

Speaking of facebook I have a page and would love to have more friends (I always add new photos on there of the kids to) If you'd like you can PM me your email and I can add you.

Like Vic I had the biggest nappy blow out I have ever had. Allegra was on my lap and the nappy must have opened a little around her legs, I felt something warm run down BOTH legs I looked down Yep it was pooey. It went up her back, up her tummy, on the couch and on the floor I yelled to Cadence to get a towel she came running over saw the pooey started dry reaching and ran off yelling NOOOOOOOO so I had to waddle down the hall way to the linen closet and grab a towel THEN clean up the trail of pooey I left So I now buy nappies that are slightly too big for her they seem to hold me in and don't leak!

What is everyone doing at the moment re wrapping, sleeping bags or sheets/blanket?

I am still wrapping Veygas (although it is still quite cool here) and I also have a bottom sheet, top sheet (cotton, not flanelette - I hate it!) and a thermal blanket in the cot ... seems to do the trick though, cause I can put him straight in the cot while he is still awake and 99% of the time, he'll self settle and go to sleep, day or night!

Speaking of facebook I have a page and would love to have more friends (I always add new photos on there of the kids to) If you'd like you can PM me your email and I can add you.

I have a FB link in my siggie which should take you straight to my profile where you can add me!

Anyway, better make my house look mildly presentable before Pixie and Bear get here! LOL!

Have a good one everyone, and big HELLO's to all!!

Well I thought last night was going to be a shocker.

I bathed Seven with Lavender oil in her bath, gave her a nice massage, and then went to bed to feed her. She didn't want that. So, at 10.30 she fell asleep in my arms. I thought she would be due for a feed as her last one was at 8.20pm. I stayed up for a while, thinking that if I tried to go to bed she would wake up and it would be all over red rover, and we would start our nightly 11pm scream session.
Well, guess what? Seven slept with me (once I plucked up the courage to go to bed!) until 1.15am! That's almost 5 hrs! Then, just to prove that she is a good girl after all, she waited until 4.55am before her next feed!

I was ready to call an ambulance she's NEVER gone that long between feeds!!!! LOL

I also noticed today, that she is happy with the dummy instead of jumping straight on the breast at 2hrs after a feed, so this is AWESOME!

She is still a Velcro baby most of the day, but one thing at a time.

Hopefully tonight is a repeat performance of last night, even if she doesn't go 5 hrs, as long as she goes to sleep earlyish and stays that way between feeds!

Wish us luck!!!!


EDIT: Can you tell I'm pumped? Look at the amount of smileys I've used!!!!!! LMAO

[nagromeyk]

CM4E - that is great news about Seven sleeping for 5 hours!! I know how you feel cause I was at that stage too a few weeks ago.
Some people may look at it as not a big deal but to yourself it is HUGE - well done!!

Speaking of sleeping Kye slept for like 3 hours this afternoon, now that is so NOT like him and even better it was in his cot.... omg couldnt believe it!!

He is sleeping again now in his cot which is way early for him. He usually doesnt go to bed till like 9-9:30pm but thought what the heck I will just leave him; he obviously wants to sleep - for a change LOL

MIL is here for another week (leaves saturday) so have a pretty busy week ahead trying to cram in as much time with her as I can.

Think I might start Post Natal Yoga next week and I'm also gonna look into joining a stroller walking group - theres a couple here on the Coast.....

Anyways must eat before I pass out.... and while the boy is asleep cause who knows how long it will last PMSL

Have a good night everyone!

[thepixie]

Hey just a quick pop-in folks.....
We went up to the Blue Mountains over the weekend so that was fun. The weekend was completely frantic though, feel like I haven't stopped since Friday! Poor little Beth has been put in and out of the car seat so many times today it's ridiculous!
We got to meet Mountain Mummy which was great! Her kids are really cute and sooo well behaved! I took a few photos so I will post them... later!
I finally put up a photo album of Beth on Facebook - I have been wanting to do that for two and a half months! Anyway, the album is here if you want to have a look!
Kel I have added you.
Other Kel (CM4E) great to hear things are going so much better with Seven
Vic - we still wrap, then put her in the sleeping bag wrapped up and zip it up. Nightmare about the poo explosion! I have heard on the forums that huggies have gone downhill recently... but it sounds like it was a poo that no nappy could contain!
Great pics Leash
anyhoo hey to everyone, gotta run cause dinner's ready

[mountain mummy]

Pixie - I bet your weekend was hectic! And thank you soooooo much for visiting!! It was nice having adult conversation!! Oh and I didn't mean to offend Bear with my cooking comment, it's just that when someone as good as he is in the kitchen, it's kind of daunting thinking about preparing a meal!! I was even a bit worried about making a cup of tea!!

Thank you for your comment about our kids - we tend to think they could be better, but maybe that's just us!! LOL! Kaliah's pretty funny, she'll latch on to any new female in the house!! I think her and Khaemon were quite intrigued, having TWO babies in the house yesterday!! LOL!

Oh, and huge apologies for the state of my house!! Sadly, it is usually worse - sometimes I just can't fit all the housework I need to do into one week! LOL! But it is organised clutter - I know where everything is! hehehe

We got a couple of photos too ... I can't believe Veygas piked and fell asleep sucking my shoulder!! hehe He was so much of a velcro baby yesterday too - and proved he prefers mummy over daddy!

We kissed sleep goodnight last night - he woke twice for a feed, which he hasn't done in ages, but this time I think he was too hot (surprisingly it was quite a warm night, considering we had snow the other day!! LOL!!) Plus, he didn't get a bath last night as he slept right through bath time, so maybe that was another contributing factor to the waking ... oh well, you get that!

CM4E - Hooray for Seven sleeping!!! Well done!! Hope you had another good one last night!

Sasha - Wooooohooooo for Kye sleeping in his cot!! YAY!!!

Anyway, must be off to all! mwah! xxx

[Arimeh]

Morning guys!
OMG I didn't post all weekend - shock horror I know

So I got my car on Friday - woohoo!! Have to put the baby seat in it today, gotta go to the day care and hand in the enrolment forms. This time next week I'll be at work

Kell - I'm glad Seven seems to be improving. Must be a great weight off your shoulders honey.

Vic - yay on building the cot - you handyman you..

Sasha - holy moly he's growing well!! I think boys tend to put it on quicker that girls? But I could be mistaken.. hopefully Miss M is 5.5kg now (he was actually lighter in birth weight than Miss M was!!!) - but she's a skinny mini.. oh and she is on 5 bottles a day - usually 7.30am, 10.30, 1.30, 4.30, 7.30pm - then she will sleep through the night.

Squidipa - I'm not sure how much Miss M has grown - we don't really take too much notice of how much she is growing - we just suspect she is because the 000's are getting short in the body and legs for her.... but that could be because of the cloth nappy - that bulks them up a bit. Last measurement was 63 or 64cm - so I'm guessing she's probably around 65cm now? She is long and skinny though.

I'm happy MM and Pixie & Bear all got to meet - now it HAS to be my turn to meet Pixie and Bear.. lol.. I know I'll meet you MM when you move to the sunny coast Another lovely warm day today...

***** - DH just called from work - forgot to remind me that today was the day that the insulation people were coming around - lucky I hadn't left yet.. lol... had to quickly dash around the house to put some clothes on other than my Elmo pj's.. and do my hair to stop it looking like cyndi lauper in the early 80's!!!

Gotta fly.. think Miss M wants to be rocked to sleep again...

[squidipa]

[MamaK]

Squidipa ~

CONGRATULATIONS!

Go Josiah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woot. Yay. Party Time!
That must be SUCH a relief. Whatever your doing, keep on doing it!
Ooh Im bouncing in my seat Im so happy for you!

Another good night here. Did our nighttime routine with the lavender bath, massage, feed etc. Fell asleep at 10.30pm and fed 2hrly from then on overnight - ah well - but no screaming! However, I did not sleep very well, as Seven was particularly farty and noisy in her sleep. But at least I was in bed relaxing!

Pixie, Bear, MM ~ I hope you all had a wonderful play date yesterday. Its a shame all of us can't get together for one big meet up. I can't wait to see pictures!!!!

Mel ~ Back to work? I am getting depressed thinking about going back to work. As it stands it looks like it will have to be late January, but I just know I won't be ready! I want to find a job I can do from home, or take Seven with me. We are thiking I will go back and do NASA work instead of going back to the hospital. That way I can chose my shifts and get paid more anyway. I hope it all goes well for you and you manage being away from Miss M.

[thepixie]

Morning yummy mummies!
MM - so great to meet you and your lovely DH. Kaliah was really sweet - she gave me a huge hug the minute I walked in the door. And don't worry about the Bear, he gets that a lot. Most of our friends are too scared to ask him over for dinner! When we first met and I didn't know him very well I actually challenged him to a cooking contest no prizes for guessing how that ended! Although credit to him, he let me cook for him a couple of times before completely blowing me out of the water it was all part of his cunning plan! And don't worry about the house, I haven't cleaned up in over a month - have to clean the whole flat today, I have been so slack there are dust bunnies everywhere and milk spots all over the floor. I'll post our pictures up later on today.
Squidipa! that is such fantastic news! Good work, hopefully Josh will be on the up and up!
Kel - same goes for Seven!
Mel about you going back to work. And we would love to meet you too - sure it will happen sometime!
Well a quick hi to Kel, Sash, Vic and everyone, a million things to do and missy is waking up so gotta run!

[2girlz]

Morning all

Squidipa- Congrats thats great that Josiah had a weight gain!

Pixie and MM- great to hear you meet up went well
Pixie- DF's dad is a great cook unfortunatly DF didn't pick up that gene

Mel- hey the 80's are coming back haven't you seen the fluro pants and baggy t shirt and don't forget the boys in their skinny jeans

CM4E- I hate when they make noises in their sleep I wake at every little one. when I saw NASA I thought wow working with NASA (space) how cool

hello to all mummies and babies I missed

Our neighbour told us that on the weekend that a stupid idiot climbed DF's truck jumped off the roof and really hurt himself, He had to get a chicky he was walking with to help him walk. DF is now paranoid that someone will climb the truck hurt themself and try and sue! This is why I want to move people are so stupid it makes me angry I mean what did the idiot think would happen jumping off the roof of a truck onto the road! sorry for the rant I'm calming down now

[*Beema*]

only have time to say

CONGRATULATIONS SQUIDIPA AND JOSIAH!!!!

[mountain mummy]

Kel - Some people are just morons, hey!

Squidipa - YAY for Joshie's weight gain!!!

CM4E - I'm so glad that Seven had another good night!! Shame about your sleep, though hopefully Seven will settle into this new routine quite well!

Mel - I'm sure the insulation people would have loved your elmo pj's And what is wrong with the 80's??? I'm still living in the 80's!! Our kids love 80's music ... Ok so I don't have the spiral perm any more, and I don't wear a million ribbons and rags in my hair like Boy George ... but Kaliah is starting to like the 80's fashion (seeing as it's sort of coming back in again!!) ... you know, the leggings with a short skirt ...

Big for you all who are heading back to work I'm STILL trying to get my printer working (from like 6 months ago!!!) so that I can start making $$$$ again! Oh well, lucky DP is sooooo understanding about the whole situation!

Oh and by the way, the link I posted before has a couple of photos from when Pixie and Bear were here!! (I knew I forgot to say something in the actual post!!)
