Bah who gives a rats about age? My Mum is about 4 years older than my step dad, and I myself have dated some younger guys in the past! (BIG mistakes they were!!!) LOL

Congrats Squid on getting first post....how long were you hanging around waiting for that? LOL

Seven has had a pretty good day today, she had her friend Michaela come over and play. I will post a pic up. Michaela LOVES giving Seven kisses!!!!


Ooh cripes, I had better scoot and make dinner, DF is off to the Slipknot concert tonight and will need to eat asap!

Hi!!!

Just got back last night from a holiday in Napier (~6 hours away) - had a great time and Eli continued to be a fantastic traveller I'm so loving being a mum, I never thought I'd feel this happy being a mum and can't imagine life without him.

He's now over 8kg (omg!) and much better at lifting his head off the mat, he's playing with toys now which is so fun to watch and loving sucking on his hand. He squeals with delight so loudly and giggles for me

Hope you are all well *mwah!*

[mountain mummy]

Holy crap Rachel!! And i thought Veygas was big! LOL .... you are obviously doing a very good job with him! I'm so glad for you that Eli is such a good traveller! And wow for lifting his head!! I put Veygas on his tummy and he just spews ... literally!! hehehe But on his back, he tries to lift his head (like he's trying to do sit-ups ... that I should be doing hahahaha!)

CM4E - yeah, I mostly dated younger guys ... why? My first time (in high school) was with a younger guy!! LOL! DS1's dad was 2 years younger than me, DD's dad was 6.5 years younger ( VERY big mistake LOL!) and yeah, DP is 3 years younger ... but I can get away with it cause I look young!!

I wish this ridiculous weather would make up it's mind! We had a lovely warm sunny day and about half an hour ago, the mist started rolling in from the bush!! LOL! And it's now quite chilly outside I am so over cold weather! And I am even more over this hot ... cold ... hot ... cold ... (who's ... doing ... that ... - sorry, my life is one huge Simpson's episode!! LOL)

What's the point of having daylight savings if the "extra" daylight hours are crappy???

[thepixie]

Hey folks - just a quickie cause it's been a full-on day!

I'm so loving being a mum, I never thought I'd feel this happy being a mum

Rach - I know exactly what you mean! I was a bit apprehensive about being a mum but I'm loving it! Love my little girl she's so awesome.
MM - for a second I thought the same thing about the 73/76 - cause most people put their age there for a second I thought crikey aren't they a bit old to be having kids! But of course I realised pretty quickly especially since I was born the same year as you!
Kel - my dad is 18 years older than his wife, who is only 12 years older than me, and they have been married for 18 years.. their youngest kid is 22 years younger than me and only 12 years older than Beth, and my dad's oldest is 37, I'm # 2 of 5 - you can get really confused hanging out with my family!
big wave to Squidipa, Vic, Mel, MT, sash, kel and everyone else!

[MummyTummy]

Hey Everyone,


Every time I went to post today I got distracted (or fell asleep!! ) so the day has kinda got away from me. So hopefully I will be back tomorrow to do a better post, but I do have a full day tomorrow so maybe not.

Jett has been an absolute angel all day today, it seems like I suddenly have a different kid. Mind you he has never been that bad in the first place!


Oh well, gonna get to bed before I have to get up to take the car for it's first service tomorrow morning.

Goodnight!

[mountain mummy]

hehehe Pixie, if people REALLY want to know how old I am, they can figure it out LOL!

MT - I can so understand about getting distracted!! That happens to me every time I go to do housework LOL!

I realised in the shower this morning that I forgot to add NZ to our half way meet up!! Sorry Rachel!!

Anyway, gotta change these two munchkins - they BOTH decided to fill their BRAND NEW NAPPIES within half an hour of having them on! Oh well, I guess that's what nappies are there for!

[squidipa]

well i have bout 30 mins before weigh in and i am nervis especially after that gain he popped big time as he only pooeys ever 4-5 days it seems. Very nervis indeed being scales are same i will weigh in at home

[Indadhanu]

I forgot to add NZ to our half way meet up!!

mm... so what i'm hearing is, we're going on a cruise halfway between aust and NZ

As for ages, Shel is May 1981 and I am September 1986, so 5 years 4 months between us. Theres 6 years between my mum and dad (dad is older).

Lol, I had some Jehovahs Witness people come to the door yesterday, an old Italian couple. Gee they were lovely, Jazz smiled at them the whole time and the lady smothered Jazzy's head with kisses (she asked first of course). I took their information thing, even though I am Buddhist so not really interested. Well, they were very nice so I respect that, they weren't pushy at all. I'd like to adopt them actually LOL they were so lovely!

Well we've had some shocker nights, back to 1am and 5am feeds + playtime, and a velcro baby who'll only sleep on me during the day. Fun fun fun, but she was 12 weeks yesterday, and around this time is a 'wonder week' so I'll just remind myself she's going through some changes and it'll settle soon. For some reason though night wake ups aren't as horrendous as they were, I mean its still hard getting out of my nice comfy bed lol but I'm not as trashed in the morning. Guess thats a pretty good thing.

Oooooooooo, yesterday I took a photo of Shel lol it is titled "Domesticated". LOL! I was washing up, and Jazz started crying so Shel picked her up and took her for a walk round the backyard. I looked up from doing the dishes to see Shel holding Jazz AND taking the nappies off the line! I had to get a photo so people would believe me I'll put it up eventually

Hi to everyone I have missed, am trying to do 3 million thigs at once right now (including getting $85 back from a dodgy eBay seller.. yeah its not a fortune but its a weeks worth of groceries, and especially since I didn't get my item eBay can't help either because they went and deregistered the seller... why the f--- do that? If they're dodgy then deal with it and help us get our money back don't just kick them off and say "tough sh-t" to us buyers )

[Arimeh]

Morning lovurlees..

MY GOD.. what a rough night *yawn*

Anyhoo -

Squidipa - congrats on posting first Good luck on the weigh in. Fingers crossed for a good gain!!

MM - OMG you old fart And in the vein on the simpsons... bed goes up.. bed goes down.. you don't make friends with salad... AND YES - as soon as I get a new nappy on them - they fill it with delightfulness for me to clean... dunno what it is..

Kell - hope your DF had a good time at Slipknot.. its been soooo long since I went to a concert. think the last one was when when DS was about 4 months old and Niners were in town .. woohoo!!!

Rach - 8kg huh.. hmm.. I'll have to check DS's book to see how big he was cos he gained weight really quickly and then evened out and stayed at 11kg for months and months and months. He's only 12.5kg now, which is normal. And yay on the good traveller... Miss M is pretty good in the car, would rather take her than DS anyday..lol

Pixie chick- yup you've confused me with your family!!! LOL Sounds a lot like my BF's family actually (well she used to be my BF.. now.. I dunno... its in limbo somewhere.. )

MT - Yay for Jett being an angel.. gotta love those days!!!!! Miss M is a pretty good baby, but I am comparing her to her brother who was, and still is... challenging...

Leash - thats disgusting of ebay.. they should be doing more to help. And yay for Shel being domesticated.. I could never get DH doing two things at once.. my god.. that would be farrrrr too difficult for him.

Well yes.. me tired... DH is tired... DS is sleeping (I think) he is still not well.. 3rd day of high temps so going to take him to the doc today me thinks!!! Ohhh just heard a bump, I'd say the boy is NOT sleeping...

Talk about clingy babies - its not the 12 week old - its the 21 month old - and MY GOD.. 12.5kg is soooo heavy after a few hours of lugging him around.. what the hell is he doing in that bedroom!!?? Lordy lordy.. better go investigate!!!!!

ETA - took me so long to post that first bit - Squidipa - yay for 80gm that is excellent!!!!!! MM - am off to investigate these pics!!

[nagromeyk]

Rach - Kye is fast approaching 8kg and he is younger than Eli I am hoping for only about 300g gain on friday when I have him weighed again

Squidipa - that is awesome news about Josh's gain

Speaking of EBAY I won a Leapfrog Learning Seat the other day. I bidded $91 thinkin' I would get outbid cause they apparently are about $160 to buy but I won it LOL this is just after I had brought a fisher price infant to toddler last week from Toyworld as they had a big sale on. Ahhh well now I have two things to put Kye in during the day, hoorah!

Finally the man is asleep, this morning has been a shocker!! He had 9 hours sleep last night so has been a bit of a $hit LOL just fighting me when I had him in my arms trying to get him off to sleep. He's crashed now though in the rocker with the vibrate on hehe... gotta love the "calming vibrations" pmsl

Anyways gotta go eat before I pass out.... hope everyone is having a good day!!

PS Hows that car crash in melbourne with those 8 people, bloody ridiculous!!

[mountain mummy]

Ms Nixon said so long as all of the car's seat belts were being used, overloading the vehicle with people was not a crime.

"No, it's not an offence,'' she told Radio 3AW.

"It's a matter for the driver to see whether they can drive properly.

"In fact it's the number of seat belts. I think it's four or something in this car, and if those people had the seatbelts on, no, it's not an offence.

Um ... hello, I thought each occupant of a car had to be wearing their own seat belt??? How can EIGHT people be wearing FOUR seat belts???

Have to admit, as a teenager, we piled 8 of us into a friends car to drive down the street - we were all utilising the seat belts but the driver still got booked for it ....

Sasha - YAY for calming vibrations!!! We switch between that and the swing!! (depends where in the house we are - the swing is just so bloody big to move around and def won't fit in my office!! LOL!) Speaking of which - we need more batteries LOL!

[Arimeh]

Car accident? I guess this proves I never get to watch the news...

Just got back from the docs - DS still has a temp of 38.9 - third day in a row - so they are taking a urine sample but can't find anything else wrong with him.

Slightly stressful for me cos he kept screaming and screaming and saying "ride.. ride" meaning that he wanted to leave the docs and go home in the car - and I was trying to calm him down, meanwhile DD was in her pram smiling and cooing away - think she likes to see her brother in pain and screaming!!! little vixen..

So they are both asleep at the moment (he is sleeping more than her today) but doc said just to keep his fluids up and to keep giving him drugs...

I hate toddlers being sick.. they are sooo heavy to lug around all bloody day!!!!

Anyway.. thats my vent..

Kel - go on.. have another one .. you know ya wanna

Sash - I hate those shocker mornings !!!!! Nothing ever gets done...

[Indadhanu]

Oh, BTW, we are going to start TTC number 2 in 2011. Dunno who is carrying yet... I get the feeling its going to be me... to be honest I don't mind... I want to give labour another go... And I'm not sure I could support Shel through labour... this probably sounds selfish but I'd be so jealous and resentful if she got a VB... at least before I got a chance at a VBAC. I feel so cheated I just want another go. But then if it was another c/s we'd be back at square one... but I want another go... I need it...

[Arimeh]

But then if it was another c/s we'd be back at square one... but I want another go... I need it...

Honey I can so understand that desire.. thats why I'm going for number 3 (oh and I don't think craig would carry it for me.. lol)

But yes... I will get my VBA2C - just watch me!!!!

[2girlz]

holy moly girls we are a chatty bunch!

Squidipa- YAY go Josiah and go mum for the EBM you're doing so well!

Leash- hugs chick ebay is good but can be so dodgy you'd think they would take more responsibility. You're so lucky to have good jahova's I had one try and tell me that I should be married before having kids

Sasha- thats great I love it when you win by surprise.

MM- When I saw your sig I had a laugh talking about age differences between your partners I went out with a guy that was 10 years older really liked it because he was over the stupid young male stage

Kiwigirl- OMG you and MM have toddlers not babies

Hello mel, pixie, vic, MT, CM4E, SB

Allegra just had her 2 month needles and was wearing her brave face today only cried for a second then cuddle mummy what a little champ! I weighed her and she's 5.5KG my heffalump baby.
I told DF last night I could have one more baby and he freaked out HAHA no one believes us when we say Allegra is our last DF's uncle said yeah we said that and ended up with 3 and your dad said that and had 5!

MM- you posted while I was still snail typing, I always thought over loading was an offence you can and do get booked for it what an idiot that person is. the driver may be able to drive properly but you can't help how other people drive

[2girlz]

Forgot to mention I can now put a teeny weeny piggy tail in Allegra's hair it's sooooooooo cute

[mountain mummy]

Yeah Kel, I always thought it was an offense too ... Plus at the time (I think I was about 16, so double that and then some years ago LOL) the guy who was driving, his dad was a police sargeant LOL!! Offered to have the ticket dropped, but my friend said no, he had to learn the hard way! He was a P plater at the time too!

pmsl laughing @ having kids before marriage ...

ETA: Mel, I don't watch the news either - my TV is CONSTANTLY on kids TV!! LOL! Just when Sasha mentioned it, I googled it!!
