pixie.. i hear ya on the baby grabbing of everything ya try to eat thats great that Beth loves farax josh was like ewwlll nope wouldn't have it.

I just saw on FB that Kel84 might have split from her DP.... hope she is OK, she hasn't been on here in a while.

i saw kel and her partner and Miss a at the shops the other day, and i did pm her about 2 weeks back. I hope all is o.k and well.

Vic love the clip... josh does the same thing but normally his mouth is open and his tounge rolls back and forth like a wave lol. We haqve the same cot sheets as you i also noticed.

joshie went to sleep at 3 and was sightly restless as he didnt have arvo or morning nap really after cuddles well a few and dad going to sleep and then i also he was down till 9pm and i woke him and got dad to put him back down at 10. dunno how he will go tonight as he has slept lots. we will see i guess.

thanks for the warm and best wishes for joshies weigh in tomorrow not expecting much maybe 200 or over.

well im outa here bye love to all. but before i do go does anyone find that bubs legs get a mark from the car seat belt? like joshies leg gets a mark where it sits over his leg but i cant make straps any bigger or else it would be unsafe its like his legs are tooo fat or something. This only happeneds when he brings his legs back in the car rather than straight out. he is still rearward facing.

Vic that's so cute - she's a real little chubba now! have you tried wrapping one arm in one arm out? that's what I've been doing... not ready to stop wrapping completely yet.

She is a chubba, loving the roll on her legs hehe, it is quite amusing as she has always had a double chin, it was just floppy skin for a long time

I am trying the one arm in one arm out this morning to see how she goes. She doesn't have trouble going to sleep not fully wrapped it is just when she is between sleep cycles that it all goes to crap

I guess our CHYN groups is called our Mothers Group

But our other is officially the Neonatal Playgroup hehe. They are just brilliant, sometimes it is just better to talk to mums face to face and see what they are doing differently.

Yay

Josh for the fabulous weight gain!!! Gee Squidipa he is really off and running now

I hope she stayed down overnight Pixie

We still do a late feed and last night it was 11 when I got home as DH had gone to be at 10pm.....

Got the Bonboniere done, except for the last few as they didn't buy enough chocolates - oops!

Well off to do some more work have a fab day

34 here rather than the 42 we had yesterday at out house

**Arimeh** · January 14th, 2009, 07:28 AM

Wow squidipa thats fantastic!! He's heavier than miss m is!!! woohooo!!!

**mountain mummy** · January 14th, 2009, 09:13 AM

Vic - cute video! I really should try and get one of Veygas sleeping!

He now does the back crawl really well too! Gets his bum so high, but everytime I get the camera out he stops

Work without Miss N would have been strange!!

Squidipa - yay for Joshie's weight gain!! He's almost caught up to Veygas!!

I did a little unofficial weigh yesterday (I held veygas and stood on the scales, then I stood on by myself and subtracted the difference!) and got 7.7kg ... so he is back around what he was about 2 months ago!

Pixie - hope Beth slept better for you!

Well, my pantry is just about empty (decided to pack something different for a change in scenery! LOL!) Gonna start on cutlery and crockery today - and just leave enough out for a day's worth so we can still eat!

Curtains are all just about washed - hallelujah for the lovely weather we have been having!

Outsides of windows are washed ... just got insides to do, oh and curtain rails are all cleaned too!

Well, better get on with it ... still so much to do!

MWAH!!! xxx

**beckoes** · January 14th, 2009, 12:03 PM

Yay for joshias weight gain, he is loads heavier than G now!! cant help you re: car seat. soz

Pixie, glad you had a better day with the sleeping!! hope the night went well too!!

All that packing MM!! moving is such hard work isnt it!!

beema, she is so cute in the vid, lol about the double chin! G sucks her tongue all the time, awake or not, looks a bit wierd sometimes! tongue sticking out and suczking away, some time she looks like she is chewing it!!

Hello to everyone else.

Well, we went to playgroup, was good, some bubs Gs age, lots older. She loved it. watching, taking it all in. and the mums were nice too, it runs every day so think il do a few different days, see which we like best.
She has got terrible nappy rash over night!! was a little pink yesterday but today it looks like raw meat!! she has NEVER had nappy rash before and my mum recons its teething....apparently they are linked?? is that even possible?? what does everyone use on nappy rash? i was given pawpaw cream a while ago, so im using that for now, see if it gets any better. dont like the highly chemical creams.

**thepixie** · January 14th, 2009, 03:52 PM

squiddy YAY for the gain wow Josiah is really stacking it on now!
Vic, she stays down over night it's just getting her down that is the nightmare ATM.... last night was better so I think we're getting into the swing of a new routine. With Christmas and NYE and vaccinations and a cold it all just went to hell in a handbasket for a while....
Beck good to hear you had a great time at playgroup... our MG was talking about playgroups today.. someone is going to look into it! I've heard a bad nappy rash and diarrhea can go with teething also fever, flushed cheeks and general grumpiness but I hope you don't get them all at the same time!
MM sending you happy calm serene moving vibes (is that even possible?? if it is, then I'm sending them)
Well, had a great day today.... went on the Bay Walk with MG at 8am

then we went to the toy library! Beth thought that was a great outing and we bought home a toy for the week.... you have to pay so it is more a hire than a library, but I thought it would be good for those big bulky toys that are great for a week then they lose interest and it's taking up real estate for the next five years... we don't have room for that! we nipped up to the shops to buy some fish for dinner and had a quick dip in the pool! She woke up at 3 so hopefully she will be nice and tired to go down at seven

Wow it was hot here today, lucky we are on the water so we get the breeze - which is more like a force 10 gale right now!
Anyway hope everyone had a great day and

to those I missed!
ETA - she finally went down without a fight tonight!!!! new routine must be working - I feel so naughty having time to myself! LOL

hi there, josh had about 5 hour sleep today its startig to be the rutine we wakes has a quick cuddle then back down im trying to keep him up now as he hasnte aten any food today. ya think thats an issue?missing days?? he is only eating 1meal most days and it is VERY small like about 3 tablespoons at moment not in any hurry to rush that.

oh my

today i did a BIG boo boo i sucked up in my awesome new vac a cord. It totally striped the cord down to the wire and even broke it in some places. It just so happends to be the cord for my voip modem. As i have a naked plan i now have no incomming phonecall or out going till i replace it so i have emailed the companie to try to get a replacement.

I made 13 batches of zuchinne cakes and yummo there are the weigh watchers version. We didnt have one of the ingreadiants and used self instead of plain flour but yummo. SO good freezing them for school lunches for kids.

ordered a new web cam today a 10mp one for 40 dollars. has anyone here taken xenical? how did ya find it?

well i am finding i am pulling away from you ladies abit maybe i am just to busy or maybe it my brain sorting out things like passports and adoption and comp claim and im realising i sorta cant as your my only outside contact with the world.... so i guess i better learn to keep up hey

Good luck pxie i hope you get some more restful nights.
umm i readthe posts but ahh forgot sorry.. got a few things in my head at moment.

**MummyTummy** · January 16th, 2009, 07:14 AM

I tried to get on yesterday and the site was down so by the end of the day when it came back up I couldn't be bothered!!

So.... Jett had a good day yesterday. He did 3 poos! And the day before yesterday he did 2!! And this is from my day 7 pooer...he was right on schedule with Wednesday but yesterday I wasn't expecting it!

But he was happy and I certainly can't complain about that!

OK, that's it for my mundane news....someone elses turn now

Mwah!

**thepixie** · January 16th, 2009, 07:24 AM

Yeah you can always tell when the site is down.... everyone is on Facebook chatting away! Our news is that Beth seems to be over her unsettled phase and is now settling herself again which is just awesome

so happy about that!
Better go do housework but big
