Allegra relaxing

[*Beema*]

To our thread Beckoes A lovely bunch of chatty Mums, Bubs and the Bear.
Grace is a beautiful name, one of the ones we were considering
Nakita was born on the 30th June but was due on the 14th August, so I stayed with my Belly Buddies when they moved over here as we didn't relate very well with the bubs in the June group!

MM I hope the teething isn't too painful for Veygas! Lots of hugs!

Kel, hopefully you get rid of them in less than a year!! Allegra looks soo cute in the highchair and has the same problem as Nakita - struggling to look over the tray!!

I hope you get to have a huge party Squidipa!!!

Sasha, hmm what's better, little sleep during the day or sleeping all night? I hope he is feeling better and hope the cold doesn't get any worse

Mel I can't believe you told DH over email!!!

MT I loved your story, just beautiful I did 3 tests, and I think i still have them in a zip lock bag!!!

Well been crazy busy day, got to work about 7.45am, worked until 11:30am, bolted home, cooked some bacon, egg, mushroom, tomato and cheese pastries (yummo) and grabbed some fresh cherries (our irrigation guy owns a cherry farm as well!!) and went to mothers group, was a lovely day, then post office and back home. Nakita hardly slept and has been grumpy, she is asleep in the swing atm but I will wake her in 15 min, give her her last feed them into bed for my little munchikin Then I can do a load of nappies, down to one Pea Pod so better get them on the line!!

So better run!!!

[thepixie]

beckoes, good to have you on board! Mel and I are also in the July group, cause our babies were so fashionable they were nearly 2 weeks late!
Mmmm I think the Bear was telling me I was pregnant but I was in denial about it. He was in Singapore for work but I was talking to him on the phone while I did the POAS. I was going to wait until the morning but the Bear couldn't wait LOL The line was really, really faint, so faint I couldn't be sure .... I think I did about 3 in the end!
Kel, love the photo! will have to get a high chair for DD
Vic - you're such a dynamo! LOL
MM congrats on the home loan! how exciting!
Sash - Beth kicks off her blanket too, have to get her a new sleeping bag. The old one that came with her hammock says 0-6 months but she doesn't like it any more cause it restricts her legs kicking around! She hates to be tied down!
well had a good day today - had coffee and cake with SIL, drove Bear to the airport and then went round to my dad's place for dinner. Saw my brother and his g/friend who is six months pregnant.... came home gave DD a feed and put her to bed! Bay walk tomorrow so fingers crossed the weather is nice!
anyway gonna hit the hay shortly so to squids, melski, MT, rach and everyone else, have a great night

[MummyTummy]

Hey Everyone!

Welcome Aboard Bec and Grace. You are more than welcome to join in and there is no such thing as being too late... unless you try to join when your bub is 6 years old! I think we get disbanded then!

Sasha - Sorry to hear Kye is sick

MM - Yay on the home loan! Exciting times ahead! I hope you find a house soon, not like us. We looked just about every weekend for 6 months.... but it was worth it. I love my house!

Kel - I commented on your highchair photo - so very very cute!

Hi Mel, Leash, Rach, Kell, SB and anyone else I've missed!

My day has been interesting....sort of. Went for my usual Tuesday morning walk this morning which was really nice. The weather was fantastic, lovely and sunny but not too hot. Tyson, my dog, absolutely loved it bounding around the open spaces, playing with other dogs he met and chasing birds and rabbits. Jett seemed to enjoy it too, stayed awake the whole time. Did a massive poo when we got back though! He seems to have cut his poos down to every 3rd day now. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not... on one hand there isn't a whole stack of pooey nappies sitting around ready to be washed, but on the other hand when there is one OMG!!!! mg:

Then this afternoon we got notification that one of my SIL called Lifeline last night and was now missing. So we did a lot of running around trying to locate her. She came home tonight, so is no longer missing and at least she is safe. But she is denying calling the line and now my other two SILs have told her that we don't know so we have to pretend we know nothing. Not going to be easy. I wish they hadn't and were just truthful about it.

Ok, I'm off! Will chat more tomorrow!

[Arimeh]

MT - I'm glad your SIL was found - and yes, people just need to be more honest...

Kel - thats a great pic.. she loooks soooo relaxed..soo verry chilled out.. man...

Vic - nooo not down to one nappy!!! lol... I hate that feeling.. luckily it hardly ever happens here - unless there has been 5 days of rain or something *cough cough*

MM - yay on the loan - looking to the sunny coast for houses? hehe

Hmmm.. Aricyn is chucking a tantie.. dunno why.. he asked for "mulk..." then "cow" which is his words for "can i have a yoghurt please mummy" and then i get it for him, and he runs off and starts bumping his head into the carpet.. meh.. I'll never understand toddlers..

Been a few rough nights here - I suspect its the bath water that she has swallowed - her belly doesn't like it... well. thats what I THINK has been the problem.

Arrghh now toddler is annoying me... better go!!!!!!!!!!!!

In first place nearest to the mark is pixie CONGRATS
Runner up is Vic well done!!

[~StarBright~]

Yay!!! Thats a fantastic gain!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!

[*Beema*]

GO Joshie!!! What a fantastic weight gain!!! We are so proud of the both of you!!

What a fabulous job you have been doing Squidpa, I remember you saying a while ago that if you had to do top ups you would prob end up fully FF, but you have proved yourself wrong, stand up and take a bow hun, it's been a long road and I understand how difficult it has been. He will now cruise forward in leaps and bounds!!

Congrats MM on the home loan approval, are you sure you don't want to go to the sunnycoast to live near the other girls.... hehe

Mel, nappies are all washed dried and re-stuffed ready to be filled once again!! I still use dippies overnight as even with the boosters I don't think they will hold all of little miss N's wee!!! hehe!

MT glad to hear your SIL was found and I hope things can be sorted out soon *HUGS*

LOL Pixie, I think I am a little insane actually!! Today is a "rest day" still gotta got to the PLaza to pick up MIL's portacot and a birthday present, hoping to see a friend in hosy who just had a baby girl awww , drop into the office and out for dinner..... hmmm where is the rest in that... oh yeah this morning, but no working so... oh well... tomorrow is a killer!!! Don't think I will see my laptop!!! Take DH to work, go home, cook a cake and make savoury pastries, go to prem playgroup, then get little miss N's needles, then pick up food and DH, drive to the hills for a suprise birthday!!

Ahhh I think I needs a holiday!!

Hope you have a fab Bay walk today too Pixie

Well must be off!!

[nagromeyk]

Squidipa thats awesome about Joshie's gain

Just a quick one from me. Kye is sick. Was up to him three times last night; could hear him on the monitor finding it hard to breathe with his blocked nose and he was pretty upset, poor bubba! He didnt need a bottle though; slept in this morning until 7:30am, lazy bum - wish I could do that LOL !!

Miserable day here today, poured down overnight. Was intending on starting mums and bubs yoga today but will start next week when Kye is better.

Anyways gotta run and get something to eat, so hungry!

Hi to everyone.... BBL

[squidipa]

big hugs for kye

[mountain mummy]

Howdy y'all!

Squidipa - WOOOOHOOOO for Joshies weight gain!! That's fantastic! for you too, hope you're feeling OK!

Kel - what a crack-up of a photo! Allegra is so adorable!!

Sash - big for Kye, ope he gets better soon.

Vic - you are always on the run woman!! LOL! I hate running out of nappies too, but my stash isn't really very big, and I am washing every day! I managed to get some panda baby night time nappies and they are wonderful!! Master K and Master V have one each (so it's a sposie every second night! LOL!) Don't know if you saw the pics on FB, and can't remember atm if I posted them on here .... too much going on in my head right now! hehehe

Mel - I WISH!!! LOL! We are terrible, we keep changing our minds every 5 minutes LOL! Well it feels like it anyway!

A couple of you were mentioning your bubs kicking off their blankets and/or having hissies about being wrapped ... Master V has a hissy when I wrap him, but if I don't he won't settle and go to sleep ... the hissy only lasts a minute or so, but yeah, he manages to wriggle out of the wrapping AND kick his blankets off. I have taken to wrapping him from under the arms (instead of over his shoulders) cause he REALLY likes sucking his thumb, so I can't restrict his arms ...

oh yeah ... I did one POAS the saturday morning DP was due home ... I couldn't sleep all night and ended up testing at 5am!!! LOL! But I had been having pregnant dreams all week, even though AF wasn't officially late until Friday! But being #4, I guess you start to listen to your intuition (although I knew all 4 times as soon as AF was late! lol!) I told him as soon as he got home. IL's came over the next day cause we had planned weeks before hand to go out to lunch and the theatre and they were looking after the kids ... over lunch, we decided to tell them cause we needed help with the extra furniture we were gonna have to get (we ended up getting it ourselves in the end anyway) so yeah, I had nearly 8 whole months of MIL constantly ringing to see how I was and asking how I felt etc ..

Anyways big hellos to everyone, gotta start getting dinner ready!

[squidipa]

MM thanks i am feeling better cant wait soon its all going to be handed in then we wait hopefully done in few months f there is no objections

josh got that second round of blood taken poor little man screamed and screamed. The ladies said he was extreamly strong. both arms 3 times and each time they would go in and out and they needed about 8-9 mills glad its over hope if anything is there they find it so we dont have to do this again.

[thepixie]

Hey folks!!
Back from the Bay walk which was great! not too hot today so nice day for a walk. Then went to Broadway to buy a new nappy bag.... just got a pretty plain one but should be ok. Bummer that the old one is falling apart cause I liked it but what are you gonna do.... AND I forgot that I need a new sleeping bag for DD Thinking of making another tea cake (yum) or some marmalade.... beats mopping the bathroom floor. The Bear is in Singapore till Friday ...
Squidipa YAY FOR JOSIAH'S WEIGHT GAIN!!!! so happy I won the contest cause my guess was the highest!
Vic - seriously you are a dynamo.... all you mums who are back at work already deserve a great big
MM good luck with house hunting OMG when you were talking about the POAS I thought you meant like NOW not last year! LOL
Sash I hope Kye gets better soon
MT good to hear your SIL was found OK
big to Mel, SB, rach,kel (gorgeous pic kel), beckoes and anyone else I've forgotten!
ETA - Hey has anyone heard from Leasha? haven't seen her online for a few days and hoping she is OK!

[Arimeh]

Afternoon all

Squidipa - thats fantastic news about his weight - woohoo!!!!!

Sasha - Hope K is feeling better soon

Vic - you are always so busy!!!!!! Wish I had that much of a life... lol.. and you are always welcome up here if you need a holiday

Been busy myself today - just entertaining child as much as i should!!!! DH is taking a nap at the moment, we are headin up to mum's place soon, some of my relatives are up from tassie and I'm going to go show off my kids (who will both be in the worst mood since its at the end of the day!!!)

[squidipa]

hey thanks Guys or should i say ladies???

[mountain mummy]

Mel, isn't it always the way??? I hate doing stuff at the end of the day!

Pixie - sorry, I was a bit distracted when i wrote that and forgot to mention it was 12 months ago!! LOL!

Squidipa - big for joshie and the blood tests

I'm expecting a bad night tonight - Master V was sooooooooooo grumpy and whingy and was in bed at somewhere between 5-5.30pm!!

We have a new game now ... you can say anything to him as long as it ends with "mummy" and he smiles!! He really is such a mummy's boy - he still looks at DP as if to say "and who the f*** are you??"

Meanwhile, DS2 has started to call DP "mumdy" LOL!! He got confused and went to say mummy, but realised he was talking to daddy!! hehehe

And thanks for all the happy 4 months wishes!! I hadn't realised that we were there already!! LOL! Golly gosh time flies!!

Anyway, haven't been sleeping well (AGAIN!!) lately, so I'm gonna try get an early one in tonight!

mwah! xxx

[nagromeyk]

OMG when you were talking about the POAS I thought you meant like NOW not last year!

Pixie - dont worry, I actually read it the same way too! I had to re-read it again then I clicked that she was talking about last year.

Well hoping to have a better night tonight. My dad is off to New Zealand in the morning. My nana had a stroke last week so he is going to see her. From what we've been told she is ok, my aunty's are taking turns in looking after her during the week and she has meals on wheels coming around with all her food which she is looking forward to apparently LOL

Anyways gtg Kye is a bit grizzly....

[beckoes]

Hi to all

:Mel and I are also in the July group, cause our babies were so fashionable they were nearly 2 weeks late!
leap:

Grace was born almost two weeks over her due date aswell, was almost induced but luckily went in to labour a day before i was due to have the induction.

Squidipa: congrats on your little ones weight gain.

Saw a few photos, have to try and work out how to get a photo of Grace on here.

Kel84, mountain mummy: checked her gums and they look abit swollen and white, and seems much happier when chewing on something (anything) . so could well be teething!!

Well, been struggling to get her to sleep in the days much, even though i can see she is so tired, we have an electric rocker we used when she was a baby and that is the only place she will sleep in the day, although she will be too big for it soon...try every sleep time to get her to put her in her cot, but she just screams till she is beside herself. sleeps great in there at night.
Also,I have been wrapping her since birth and she has just started to get herself unwrapped and wakes up...was up every two hours last night to re-wrap...should i try to teach her to sleep unwrapped, any tips??

Thanks
