Kell - I hope Seven's cold clears up soon!!!! Its terrible to hear them snuffling and you know that they just must be feeling like crap!!!! I can't believe the wedding has come around so quickly!!!!!! You must be getting so excited!!!

MM - hmm.. as soon as I find out that they are telemarketers I hang up on them!!! LOL... except those that call at 6pm - THEN I get stuck into them about being bloody inconsiderate and friggin idiots to call at the busiest time in people's lives.. lol.. but I'm a big meanie..

rach - I can't believe someone can do that - its stupid that it costs YOU money... stupid people in the world.. grrrr..

Vic - yay for the $9!! well done

Leash - awwww I didn't know Kat was coming!!!!!! thanks for the invite !!!! And nope wasn't me that suggested thirsties, but I have one and its pretty good. BIG sizings though. Happy 3 months to jazz today!!

MT - yup. I know the newborn explosion in an itti bitti... its gross... thank GOD for the little squirt is all I can say..

MM - yay for making a nappy!!! I couldn't sew two pieces of material together to save my life.. so good on you!!!! Woot!!!!

Not much is happening here. Same old same old.

Mel I was going to then I read in another thread that you were busy in Caloundra today and ... I said to Kat I was going to invite you but I thought you were busy! I'm sowwwwwwwwy *looks up with bottom lip poking out and big puppy doggy eyes*

HAPPY THREE MONTHS JAZZ!!!!
Was just looking at your photos Leash and she is such a little cutie! I can't believe how fast they are growing up!
MT - bummer about the itti bitti blowout.... I just realised the other day I hadn't put Beth in her IBs and I thought I had better before she grew out of them! Love them though, they look soooooo cute on her. Might have to get some more!
MM - Wow, NINE kids!!!!! that is amazing. I can't even imagine it. I'm sure you could make it work though, your kids are so well behaved and I think at some point you hit critical mass, and they start helping to look after each other. We told you about our friends who had seven kids together and then decided to get married - although with nine you would beat them! And good on you for making a nappy - I'm so impressed. I have got this idea in my head I want to make a patchwork quilt but I would have to do it by hand so it will take a looooooooong time..... and I don't really know where to start
Vic - congrats on your win!
Kel - how exciting about the wedding and christening, but MAN you must be flat out!
rach - saw the drama unfolding on FB -
Mel - mwah - love ya!
Melbourne cup lunch yesterday with MG was good.... glad I didn't put a bet on though cause I would have lost! Today our walk around the bay wasn't cancelled for the first time ever and I just got back. My feet are killing me! Was pretty much pushing the pram from 9.30 until 2.00 with a half hour break for coffee! Now my friend is popping over so gonna try to rustle up something to eat quickly - I'm starving!
big wave to everyone i missed

[squidipa]

feeling a bit over whelmed with all the catch up reading i have to do and finding the time to do so. So anyhow its gonna be a me post.

I went to ipswich yesterday after getting off in goodna and stuffed our faced with pizza then bk on train to hospital sweat pouring off of us it was horrid. I had taken frozen EMB and funny enough it lasted whole day nicely cold. I wasnt expecting that and we just took it out shook it and the air warmed it up very quickly for feeding. I took 4 bottles with me and i ended up becoming VERY engorged and sore. Dont like BF on trains or while walking AND KNEW WE WOULD BE RUSHED FOR TIME When i got home i expressed 260 ml and fell asleep, How i manged that i dunno as i was all sticky but obviously buggered.

When we did reach hospital i was cacking myself laughing Josiah was looking left then right then left then right doing head exersizer for like ages it was SOOOOOOO FUNNY!! saw specialist surgeon and even tho it was all so quick and rushed with him and so unprivate with open cubical with just a curtain i guess i came out of there with a result i wanted and that was to go on the waiting list for an keyhole op on my knee. So i guess im happy day surgery will have to wait maybe up to 3 years tho But then again im no keen on racing in for pain either. I asked for a transfer to redcliff but was told i would have to start this process all again go on waiting list to see a surgeon and after 1 year of already waiting i was like stuff that.

Josiah was FANTASTIC ON TRAIN like sooo good he loved looking around and seeing everything moving and all the bumps and stuff. It was good me and hubbie getting out of house and NOT shopping IYKWIM.

After that we went to riverlink for late lunch and then to indoorpilly for tea and its such a nice area Indoorpily or howeva ya spell it lol than back to cab and collect kids only to find DS7 didn't eat his lunch and DS3 was a little POO POO head sooo was not impressed. Got home showed kids as they had eaten and then to today....

WEIGH IN DAY

took joshie for his weigh in and the whole week he gained

a whopping 220grams

she did stills that he is still under weight and he should be 560grams heavier than now.
She worked that out like this
joshie is nearly 14 weeks take 2 weeks away for the 10 percent lost at birth she said then get 150 x 12 weeks and thats how much of a gain he should have had gained 1800 in total and hasnt so he falls 560 short of that.

Either way we are happy a gain.... thats what 300-400 EBM daily and 6 feeds 2 hours does i guess thats pumping each feed time tho very tiering indeed!!!!!

I bought a BBQ online in ebay and a toy the mega blocks juke box that toys sooo cool hehehehe and the bbq looks great too, got an electric one yay it's a lot bigger than ones in shops thats for sure.
welll Joshie is cracking the poops and that mean i pretty much have to go. I did tho this week get to cook with DD we made
1.5 batches of pasion fruit scones
1 batch of chili scones
1 batch of rock cakes
1 batch of cream cheese scones
1 batch of carrot muffins
one batch of mudcake muffins too all in one go i was soooo tired after all of that. finally now i can post this then ill go get kids well park car and wait as its pouring with rain car bays fill up quick at school will try to do personals later.

what a bad pixie!
Squiddy, I noticed someone talking on one of the quilting threads about a beginners pack they bought somewhere so I'm going to see if i can find one at spotlight..... I did that with silk ribbon embroidery and I had some fun doing that for a while.
I got sunburnt today!!! the sun was hardly out and I got completely fried!

[2girlz]

Wow everyone we've been chatty or I've been lazy with my posting

Squidipa- thats fantastic that Josiah is gaining weight go Josiah go!!!!! I tried the whole taking things away well pretending to throw things in the bin cos she wasn't cleaning her room totally back fired she would say "yeah we put it in the bin" I tried hard to explain it would be gone for ever ( I don't have the heart to really throw her things away) LOL at Josiah's head exercises Allegra does the same thing and the hair on the back of her head is slowly dissapearing

MM- kids can make you soooo angry, 9 kids you might be giving the Duggar family a run for their money soon

The pixie- my gosh sore feet and sunburn not a good combo I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Mel- eeeeeewww runny pooey nappies just hand him to daddy and say he wants a cuddle LMAO about DS terrorising the cat Cadence does the same thing then cries and sooks when he scratches her

MT- wow I bet you were exhausted after feeding every 2 hours. I get a little paranoid when Allegra doesn't do a pooey during the day it's so horrible when they're constipated.

Leash- I can't believe facebook I saw a photo that one of my friends comented on of a guy that had no pants on and you could see his dangley bits and they never took that one down! Oh Leash hugs for being lonely I feel bad as I live so close but haven't caught up with you I've been meaning to go to the meet ups at pioneer park i'm so slack

Vic- OMG you just reminded me The James Blunt song not sure but I think it's called goodbye my lover makes me soooooo sad. Hhhmmm our babies seem to know when we are trying to post Allegra does the same grumbles the whole time i'm typing.

Kiwigirl- OH MY GOD how scary!!!! did you have your profile so everyone could see you or just friends of friends?

CM4E- wow you have a lot happening I hope you're all fit and well for the massive occassions.

My gosh this is taking me a million years to finish hee hee. I had my first day back working today my parents own a transport company and I'm now their book keeper and I get to take Allegra with me YAY!
Allegra has been super cute lately she's so cheeky I have been feeding her she stops looks up at me and smile it's soooooo adorable! And Cadence has been cracking me up big time first she did the trick where you put a spoon on your nose and balance it I can't even do that! THEN she some how changed our computer display picture to a picture of Allegra! She would had to of gone in to the menu and browsed for a pic of her completely blew me away!

[squidipa]

My gosh this is taking me a million years to finish hee hee. I had my first day back working today my parents own a transport company and I'm now their book keeper and I get to take Allegra with me YAY!

Good luck at wrk today sweet,
sorry gonna be a short post josh didnt feed properly all day yesterday after 5 mins i was struggling to keep him going so finishing at 17 to 20 min feeds. then he had EBM at 10.30 to wake at 1 and so on all morning i am like totally stuffed today at1am my body was so tired my arms hurt back legs i couldnt even hold him i was soooo achy. I had only had about 30 to 40 mins sleep he has two feeds between 1 and 5 to feed again at 5.30 and then i noticed nothing was coming out so i tried by pump and hand nope so i gave him some expressed stuff i think my trek to ipswich has stuffed my supply up.

I am buggered and tired but on a good note josh slept more during day yesterday.
