Hello
Very quick one for me
Squidipa thats fantastic Josiah has had a huge weight gain

I PM'd Jaspen as I hadn't seen her post for ages She says hello and that they are well Lincoln is rolling and starting crawling movements

better go Allegra is really cranky she wants food but has half an hour before she is due, I'm being quite strict on feeding times now so she finishes the whole bottle. And we had a good night last night slept from 10:30pm till 8am

Hi all!
Well I'm at work (hehe) and been such a busy little beaver this morning - lets just say that I hate clients, I hate banks and I hate other solicitors - its not been a good morning!! lol

Beck - you'll have to let us know if you want to catch up with me and Leash Yay for getting Grace to settle in her cot woohoo!!

Leash - next week meet up yeah? I'll have to bring aricyn around too if thats ok.

MM - I get LOTS of leaky information out of my head.. I just call it unuseful knowledge.. lol... didn't get much sleep here either last night if that makes you feel better!!!!

Sash - yay for the small gain M gains about 100g a week I think..

Hello to everyone else *mwah*

Miss M decided to wake up at 4am - just chatting away merrily, not upset, not hungry.. just chatty... so we took her into our bed at around 4.30 - she dropped off at around 5.15am and then woke again when Aricyn hopped into our bed at 5.45am *yawn*

Was sooo funny this morning.. DS pulled the sheets off DH and said "oooohhhhh poo poo" (pointing at daddy's doodle)... pmsl... was soooo funny... we cracked it.. especially when he turned around and then said d.i.ck... absolutely hysterical... we're like.. did he just say what I think he just said... lol.. dunno where he got that word from

Anyhoo, better get back to work

thanks becka for letting me call ya it i miss my sis heaps and strangly it feels nice having some person to call that, i know that sounds weard and maybe creapy but i am honest

Ahhh, little boys eh Mel! Next week sounds good, I'll put on my happy pants How does Aricyn go with Christmas tree's (ie does he pull them apart?) because I may have to toddler proof, ours is going up on Monday!

[Arimeh]

Leash - next week is good - will also put on happy pants Dunno about him with a xmas tree - we don't "do" christmas, so we don't have a tree... and I dont' think mum or his other grandparents had one last year either.. might just shock him thats all.. he's pretty good if I tell him not to touch something (over and over forty THOUSAND times)

[squidipa]

since josh is gaining weigh i havnt been logging exactly how long feed are everytime, altho he is feeding the last few days 9 times from me an 2 bottles that explains why i am tired hey! its nice to know he is gaining.

[Indadhanu]

Squidipa, i have been logging Jazzy's feeds and for how long... Tuesday - 13 feeds, Wed - 11, Thurs - 15, Today - 6 so far... So I hear you on being tired! She was sick yesterday though...

[squidipa]

leasha ur on more feeds than me i feel for u sweet!

[nagromeyk]

i have been logging Jazzy's feeds...

I have been writing down K's routines too, thought it might be interesting to look back on when hes older.

Last sunday we took his first lot of footprints with paint hehe I decided that it would be kinda cool to look back on aswell. Did it on a plain piece of paper which I am going to glue into a hard book. going to make it a ritual that we do it every 4 weeks. I might even get crafty and turn it into a scrapbook LOL

Will do his hand prints aswell eventually, tried sunday but yeah it was just a mess as he hasnt quite grasped the whole 'i can open my hand' yet hehe

[beckoes]

Just had Grace on her play mat while i answered the phone and she rolled over from her back over her left side onto her tummy ! she got her hands stuck under her tummy and basically just chewed the floor till i untucked them but i was very excited, and i she seemed quite pleased....or just confussed as to what all the fuss was about!

MT: how funny, we just said ''aslong as she isnt rolling at night you dont have to worry abuot teaching her sleep unwrapped'' and now she has started to roll. should i worry about her rolling over at night?

[mountain mummy]

Mel - pmsl@ your DS!! It's amazing what kids come out with ... we have to watch ourselves, as Khaemon is an absolute parrot atm!! LOL! It's funny when kids say things so in context as well ... when DD was younger, she was having trouble one day pulling her boots on and she came out with "god damn mother f***ing son of a b****!" I pmsl for ages!!! LOL!

Bec - WOW for Grace rolling! Veygas tries to roll, it's more rocking from side to side atm, but he "back crawls" and uses his legs to spin himself around. LOL. I don't think Grace will try rolling while she's asleep, but if you're worried, maybe place a rolled up blanket beside her body to stop her if she does
Oh and that funny wondering-why-they-are-wet feeling ... happened here the other day too, TWICE! Once with the baby and once with the toddler ... first time we'd had MCN blow-outs too! Admittedly, V hadn't done a poo for maybe 4 days, and K had eaten lots and lots of fruit! Fun times!

Leash & Mel - pmsl @ "happy pants"!!

Squidipa & Leash - I can associate with those frequent feeds from DS1! Master V is lucky if he feeds 5 times a day! But they are usually quite long feeds ...

Sash - the footprints ae a good idea!

Kel - yay for Allegra sleeping!

We had a bit of a scare today - when DP got up and into the bath, Khaemon decided to stay home with daddy while I went to get DD from preschool. When I got home, DP told me that as soon as I drove out the driveway, K got out the front door - DP found him up the road (lucky we live on a very quiet street!) ... he had tried to follow me cause he changed his mind

Hmmmm nice and quiet here right now, might just sit back, relax and enjoy it!

OMG I have finally got Beth to sleep she has been awake since 3pm! I was trying to get her to sleep earlier but kept getting interrupted - here is the rant I posted on the other thread:
GRRRRR!!! Integral Energy keep sending incompetent fools to my door trying to make me sign up to their electricity service, and all I want to know is how much will it cost through them and what's the catch (ie. does it get expensive after an introductory offer) well, they can't tell me that, can they? So I tried to get rid of him by saying I needed to talk to my husband and I need to put my baby to sleep so can you leave me something to read/ discuss with my husband? No. they didn't have any extra leaflets that they could leave with me. I'd just got rid of the idiot and started all over trying to put Beth to sleep when the IDIOT knocked on the door again and said could I call my husband? NO HE IS ON A PLANE FROM SINGAPORE RIGHT NOW!!@@ HE IS NOT CONTACTABLE AND I NEED TO PUT THIS BABY TO SLEEP!
At first I thought I was being a bit unreasonable, and then I thought, actually no I'm not. They have sent people round to tell me I can save money by changing suppliers and all I want to know is how much, but can they tell me that? NO. Can they give me a piece of paper so I can work it out in my own time? NO. did either of the idiots they sent around have so much as a calculator? NO. All they wanted to do was sign me up as quick as possible.
Anyway moving on......
MM scary about your DS getting out the front door! and about the MCN blow-outs! and love the new ticker
sash - LOL about the hand prints
Leash, you poor girl!
Mel - LOL at your boy! what a crack up!
big to squiddy, kel, MT, SB, beck and everyone

[Indadhanu]

pixie... Oh man, integral was the ones who came to my door that time, Jazz was screaming at me and he just kept going on so I shut the door on him. Honestly, what some people will do for a sale, I'd be surprised if no one has knocked out an Integral sales person!

Well we had a **** night last night... went to sleep at 7.30... up again at 9.30, 12.30, 3, and then up at 4... she's just gone down for her morning sleep but of course I am up now aren't I... It's 6.30am and stinking hot ALREADY, 26 degrees, so i couldn't sleep if I tried. Only had one sleep yesterday, after protesting it for 2 hours. Fed 13 times

On the plus side all this feeding has helped... I've lost 7.5kg since having Jazz... I'm 62.5kg now, Only 2.5 to go til i get to pre-pregnancy weight, and 6.5 to go to get to my ideal weight, which is BMI 23. YAY!

Want a giggle? ..... https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...91&ppuser=8407
We've had two blowouts this week... in disposables. First one was that pic... all over my sister I had to put Jazz in a disposable from the nappy bag as my sis was asleep in Jazzy's room and thats where her cloth is. My sis got up and picked Jazz up and Jazz pooped everywhere and it exploded out of the leg... GROSS! Had another this morning, I'd just got her up and was getting dressed before I changed her and next minute I hear rumble, I pick her up and BLERK, poo all up her back. I hate disposables, I've never had that problem with cloth!

Looks like we are going to Tamworth in a few days, Shel's grandma is sick, yesterday the drs gave her 24 hours... well you never know, but looks like well be travelling down for her funeral. Driving too, yuck! Not looking forward to that!

[beckoes]

Lesh: sorry to hear you had such a bad night, it is so hot here today isnt it!! and we live by the river so get a little bit of breeze! Grace is in just her nappy, under the ceiling fan which is on high and it still took me an hour to get her to sleep even though she has been up since 5!! you cant rock and cuddle when your both sticky and hot!!! not nice! wish it would just rain and cool down!!
Well done on the weight loss...i dont know what id have done if i was FFing, id still be the size of a house!!
Love the pic of your sis, that is an impresive blow out!!!
Sorry to hear about shels grandma.
Hope it cools down and makes it easier for everyone to have a sleep!!

[Indadhanu]

Shel's nanna passed away at about 11am this morning, so we'll be making that trip to Tamworth this week, I think they expect the funeral to be Tuesday or Wednesday, so we're leaving tomorrow or Monday.

Will have to post-pone our get together Mel

[beckoes]

so sorry to hear that!!
