Bec Im so glad to hear everything is going with your precious growing bubs...what a week it must have been for you. Did you find out if little Josh is having a brother or a sister or arent you telling????
Storm...wow..what a fantastic size your little missy is!!! What a great job you are doing lol. I wonder what size she will end up being!
Wow Cass...does that mean you will be jumping on the ttc wagon soon...think that will just leave me lol!!! Newies are so little arent they compared to our little darlings! Bet your mum is going to love the tv..what a great present. Glad the lunch went well with the inlaws too..pah inlaws!
Well weve had an eventful day. We had a garage sale so have spent the whole weekend preparing for it. Its been very profitable so am happy about that. The girls horse has also arrived and she is happily munching on grass as we speak..gorgeous horse.....and my ex..Jess and Em's birth dad had their baby today..a baby boy. They actually went ahead and called it Levi..surname denim....i thought it was a joke when he mentioned it before...but seriously! MMMMMM
Hope you are all having a lovely day!
Jo
-
OMG Jo you must be kidding about Levi Denim????????? The poor kid! What are the parents thinking??? Glad your garage sale went well and the horse is all good too.
Hi Bec - So what are you having?????? I'll get organised and re-send you the link.
Cass - Go on and TTC now hehehehehe. Hope that it isn't gastro....
Storm - Go on the big bub. I reckon it's the gods giving both of us bigger bubs this time round, ones that are hungry!!!!
Busy weekend, been at the beach today, had friends down from Brissie yesterday. The woman is the one that use to manage a baby shop and in the past has given us SO much baby stuff - really exy brands that I would never buy myself. Anyway she bought down so much stuff for Lucie and Ned. All these gorgeous clothes. I am so embarassed by her generosity.
-
Hey Jo :)
Yep, we found out the gender of the bub! We like to keep it a secret IRL though, so I'm probably not going to post it on the open forums, just in case. But...if anyone wants to know, I am happy to PM or email, just let me know! Jo, I will PM you in a sec....
The girls must be so thrilled to have their horse! What is her name? (Sorry if you have already said and I missed it).
Levi Denim...really? Interesting...!
ETA: Hi Soph! Sorry, posting at same time. How fab that your friend gave you all that stuff for Lucie & Ned! Will PM you now too...
-
Oh Bec please Id love to know!!!!!! Horse's name is Sharna..intersting horse name lol!
Soph..its true..i cant believe it either...different strokes for different folks i guess..can u tell i chose my girls names lol. That is so nice of your friend giving you guys so much baby stuff. Must make her feel good to be able to do something nice for you!
Sammy has been such a helper today..charming the pants of everyone that came and alarming some first time parents who were buying our rocking swing..i suppose he is fairyly full on but hes just Sammy to us lol....they both looked exhausted just watching us with him...heheh.
Jo
-
Sorry Jo I still can't get over Levi Denim. That's almost child abuse I reckon! Sammy sounds so adorable helping out.
Bec - Thanks for the PM. I'm soooooo happy for you guys!
Ah I have the ironing done - yay! Now just gotta get the rest of the washing done, folded and away and I will be a happy woman. Learnt how to sell stuff on ebay - how easy is that???? Now I just need some buyers LOL! And just purchased some movie tickets online for Chrissie presents. We are heading up to Brisbane next weekend to catch up with everyone so thought I'd whack a few of those in some cards for people. I have to girlfriends that I use to work with who have sent pressies for Lucie and Ned for birthdays and stuff, but I haven't given them anything for their kids (they are a bit older and already around before I met them). So I thought I'd give them some tickets for Christmas - 2 adult and 2 kids each. That sound ok? Oh dear I'm spending too much money on Christmas already......
-
Hi All!
ROFL Jo, Levi Denim? Oh dear! Glad the girls horse has arrived too!
Hi Soph, great ideas for chrissy pressies I reckon! You're sounding like a super mum over there, well done! Sure do hope this baby is gonna be a good feeder too, would be nice!
Hi Bec, me me me let me know too please!! Josh is looking very handsome in his ticker!! Woo Hoo.
Cass, did I hear you were TTC?
I really don't see this bub being that big, well I hope not, she wont fit!!But I tell you what she is so pretty, we got a 4D scan awwwwwwwww some gorgeous snaps of miss chubby too! DH is calling her Ellie the Elephant! Can't wait now 10 weeks to go!
Hi to everyone, hope you are all having a nice day.
-
Storm - This girl of yours could be big - Lucie was only 6 pound 12 but Ned was 8 pound 10.5! And of course she is going to be a stunner. Oh it's soooo soon. What is due date? Must be around new year
-
I'm and idiot, it says 15th Jan in your ticker. Not long to go! Hurry up and wake up Lucie, want to go for a walk!
-
He he Soph. Hope you had a nice walk.
-
Yeah Storm she woke up pretty much straight after I typed that! Went for our walk but couldn't give Lucie a play in the park 'cos Ned was awake and not overly happy. Feel bad that she misses out on so much park time now, but I always let her run around outside and try and make it fun and DH takes her for a bike ride/walk/park every arvo. Ok both are asleep again so am going to run around and clean up. Got the washing folded so now I just have to put it all away when DH takes Lucie this arvo. I want a cleaner!
-
Hello lovely ladies
Storm...i think she will be a gorgeous size! Wow at the dates saying Christmas Day too..wow..wonder why the huge discrepency in dates??? Exciting!!!
Soph Im blown away too..as is everyone else...its like a Theresa Green scenario...I honestly thought that they were joking lol...but no such luck..poor baby. That sounds like a great Christmas idea. I know id love it..its always expensive going as a family..good choice!!! I reckon you deserve a cleaner lol..i dont know how u do it!!!!
Bec..im so thrilled for you..thanks again for sharing!
Well ive been shopping for Livvys birthday. I cant believe she is turning 8 on Sunday..my precious baby!!!! She has a lovely weekend planned though..is going to be absolutely spoilt rotten!!!! Oh and has anyone got a safe and sound maxi rider???I am in love with it..after Sammys old car seat to this one..he has so much room and seems so much more comfortable..highly recommend it!
Jo
-
Jo - I don't know how YOU do it with all those kiddies! Thanks for the tip on the Safe 'n Sound thingy. Will have to think about getting another one soon 'cos it won't be long until beefcake outgrows the capsule.
-
:D Lol thanks Soph but really the girls are pretty good and really its more guidance and running around at their ages. LMAO at beefcake!!!!!
Jo
-
Hi girls ...was going to do personals but cant as I am about to be sick. Kaitlyn and I both have gastro....I am so nauseous
Anyway off to bed as we have Dh's op tomorrow.
Levi denim ...oh my goodness what were they thinking
Bec...I will have to have a look at the catch up tomorrow
ok ...gotta head to the bathroom to pray to the porcelan gods IYKWIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Awww Cass sorry you arent well you poor thing. Hope your DH's op goes well..thinking of you.
Jo
-
Oh Cass'm hoping it leaves soon. Poor thing, gastro is the worst I reckon!
Jo - Bet your girls are great little helpers.
Any cup tips ladies?
-
Hey, Jo we've been thinking of getting a maxi - rider, cos Ellie is gonna need Zac's one! Glad you said they're good he he will definitely get one now!!
Oh dear Cass hope you guys are better soon!
Lol at beefcake Soph, glad Ned is going so well. Mmmmm cup tips? I've got no idea I just went down the TAB & picked horses by the names I liked!!
Brooke, how is your DH after his op? Do they know what is going on with him?
Hi everybody, hope you preggie sickies are feeling better....
-
I have no idea Soph...im so sad!!! Really dont even put a bet on!
Storm so is the name Ellie a keeper? I love it!
Hello everyone else!
Ive got a shocking cold and my eyes are watering terribly so it looks like im crying all of the time..arggh. Darrens gone in before si took the girls to school today to talk to Jess's teacher about some girl *****iness and bullying thats been going on..its a horrible age for it. Some of the girls are jealous of Jess having a horse and they dont so have been quite nasty about it. We can see it for what it is but shes only 12 so really talkes it to heart...can you remember back to those years ...sigh. Anyway Jess's teacher is pretty proactive so hopefully can nip it in the bud now..and with camp being tomorrow hope that this is the end of it....argggh kids lol.
Jo
-
Hope your feeling better tomorrow JO. Boo to those awful kids at school, they are just jealous, it's terrible isn't it? I remember those years too, I think we were all a bit of a ***** at times, poor Jess, I hope she can take it with a grain of salt.
It does look like Ellie is going to be her name, after the u/s on the way to the car I said to Dh she has to be called Ellie now, Ellie the elephant! hehe I'm slack!!!!!!!!! I'm just glad she is a healthy baby but I do wonder what size Zac would have been had he a proper umbilical cord.
Oh guess what, the horse I picked for the cup came first! Woo Hoo, I bet 1 whole dollar! If only I knew what I was doing ........ ah well am very happy with it!!
-
Jo - Hope you feel better soon too. And I agree with Storm, it's a bitc$% age for girls.
Storm - Yay for your bet! I got 2nd and 3rd.
No word of a lie girls, Ned just rolled over!!!!:eek: Think it must have been a fluke though!!!!!!!!!
-
OMG Soph..hes a genius!!!!! Thats so awesome..see all this extra weight is helping!
Yay Storm on winning..whoooohooooo!!!!!
Ive just been talking to the my ex.....seems that they are getting a bit of **** about the name they have chosen...ya think!!!! But mum and baby are doing well which is good. I was going to take the girls up tonight to the hosp but weve changed it to early next week.
Jo
-
ROFL Jo, I wonder why they would cop some slack! Geez!!!!!!!!! Glad that mum & bub are doing well though!
Woo hoo Neddy, Soph, you've got 1 clever little boy there!!
Zac was looking for me before, (I was on the loo) & he started to call out to me, all I could hear was "jo, Jo Jo" !!! How rude, what happened to Mummy? :( & when we went out this morning, I told him tata's & he said Tata tata & lied down & kissed the carpet!What is my boy up to today???????
-
Awwww he sounds gorgeous!!!!!! What a clever boy!!!!
Jo
-
Hi Girls ,
Jo I am sorry those girls are being nasty at school...such a confusing age for kids..jealousy is the worst as well.
Storm I love the name Ellie! And what a cutie Zac is being , Kaitlyn is not even saying mum yet! She did however start throwing her arms in the air today and saying "yay"
Soph wow on Ned rolling over ..that is crazy!!!!!!! Better watch out you will have two walkers in no time!.
Dhs operation went well which is good, so now his wrist is all wrapped up for about 6weeks and then should be all AOK .
Kaitlyn and I are feeling better today which is great! Still hanging around but we are on the mend. Although she is walking a few times during the night and I have been feeding her back to sleep and then she stays in our bed...naughty I know but as she is unwell I am letting her get away with it. I tell you I dont want to get into the habit but I so love sleeping with her as she sleeps on my chest (which gets a little painful sometimes!) or she lies on my arm snuggled up against my side...so nice!.
Well better run as the OC is about to start !!
-
WOW, I just read back & caught up on all...
OOOH Becd I'd love to know babies gender too!!! please??
Storm, glad Ellie is happy & growing healthily inside, what a wonderfully warm oven you are!
Soph, OMG on Ned rolling, what a clever cookie!
Cass, glad your starting to feel better boith you & Kaitlyn & also YAY on Dh's wrist being good now.... Indah woke a few times last night & I fed her back to sleep... Oh well!
Jo, Oh how I remember & hated being 12, the flavour of the ady changes quickly amongst the group of friends & everyones emotions are running rampant, I hope the camp fixes it all too... Also Levi Denim??? hmmm.....???
Brooke, I hope your DH is feeling OK & well & truly on the mend!!!
Rae & Fletch I hope the M/S has gone for good now & you can start to blossom... You too Alex... I hope all the kiddies are doing well & are happy!
Having the inlaws here is great too many funny stories to tell, they wandered amazed around our home & DH had to explain what all the whitegoods are & for, including the toilet & toilet paper!
They shared a soak in our bath tub on Sunday night!!!! hee hee
Indah is still wary as they are constantly grabbing at her & she is fairly independent, but they just cuddle, kiss & carry her all the time, I just let them go, in 2 wks time Indah will be back to just us & probably wnat to be carried always!??? They are amazed that we put her in her highchair & she eats, put her in her cot & she sleeps, as they chase the kids around hand feeding them til they are about 7 or 8 yrs old & also they jiggle them for hours on end to get them to sleep!
Indah is talking so much now, she can say everyones names clear as a bell, including Maddison, also my nieces & nephew & sister & her hubby, also she says Oma & Opa for my parents & Neenee & Perka for Dh's parents..
She calls out to our dog Poppy all the time too... Then she says Kiss, bye,bye, ta, Hello, Hiya, what's that, who's that, seeya, susu (milk), more & no... I think that's pretty much it....
She constantly now is holding on to Dh's microphone singing into it & holding on to the table dancing!!!
She's still not at all interested in taking any steps though, but now being constantly carried wont help, but nevermind!!!
OK, better go catch up on all in here & do some work!!!
-
Hi Trace - sounds like you are having a ball. Indah is so clever. How fun for your in laws being in awe of everything. They must be enjoying themselves. I must have some Indonesian in me - running around shoving food in Lucie's mouth lol!
Cass - Glad you guys are feeling better. Hope it all passes soon and glad DH is ok.
Storm - Zac is a cheeky monkey! How cute though.
Jo - Yeah it must have been a fluke I think. Ned is far too young to be doing that stuff!
Lucie fell asleep in the pram again when i went to the shop :doh: Just left her in the pram now for her sleep.
-
OMG!!!!!
I've just read back all these pages of you gals chatting and do you think I could remember any of it!!!!LOL...Damn preggo brain!!
Anyway, Jack seemed to be getting better from his gastro on Sunday morn and started eating so we went away to Deniliquin for a little break as our friends were there already... And Jack had a ball playing in the river and he went on the speedboat and loved it!!! But then on Monday night he wouldn't eat again and then threw up twice during the night.....And Nick then got Gastro and so I had them both throwing up !!!Fun fun fun....
So very early Tues morn we packed the car up and drove home... Luckily they both slept most of the way home..
And I'm so happy today cause they are both eating and on the mend!!!
But I did throw up this morn after my coffee, but I'm hoping it's just m/s as I feel ok..
Cass, I can totally feel for you and Kaitlyn atm.. It's so awful when bubbas are sick..
Trace, sounds like they are having a blast!! And wow at all Miss Indah's words!!!
Storm, hope Miss Ellie slows down a bit in the growing for ya!!! Sounds like she's doing really well though.. And I love the name too...
Jo, What the??? I can't believe they called him that!!
Hope all the nastiness at school gets worked out for Jess.. Girls can be awful at that age, I remember.. And so glad they've got their horse too...
Soph, WOW, you'll have to let us know if he does it again!!
Bec, Yeah I'd love to know what you guys are having!! I'll PM you.. I've got my scan on Mon on my birthday!! Can't wait!!
-
Hi Trace!!! Glad to hear your IL's are having such a great time!!
Hi Alex!!Glad to hear everybody is recovering!!
Hi everybody, having a shocker of a day :( woke up sometime through the night with a cramp that went from my lower back, through every muscle to my calf, HORRIFIC & now my right side is so sore I cant walk, I've done nothing but lie around all day & now I am so tyred it's not funny.
Catch up tomorrow.
-

-
Jo - Hope Sammy isn't as clingly today. Totally know what you mean, Lucie is the same atm!
Storm - that soundas horrendous, hope you are better now.
Alex - hope it's just ms and not gastro. Eeeeek. Gastro is awful. Speaking of gastro has anyone heard about that new vaccine for rota virus???

-
Hello???? Where is everyone???? Hope the ms witch is staying away from all the pg mummies. We've nearly fallen off the first page :eek:
-
Morning All, I think Indah ias finally getting used to the IL's carrying her all day everyday... DH has finally hooked up her swin on our front pergola & the first time I put her in she screamed. But now if she isnt on MIL's hip she's in the swing & we get a tanty when s we take her out!!!
Had a precious moment.... A friend of ours finacee just arrived from Thailand with their 4 mth old daughter, so I nagged DH to come with me last night after work to cuddle with her (I'm growing a beak & wings & started scratching the ground! LOL)
Anyways Indah immediately planted a big kiss on Ella's (the baby) head!! It was so sweet & she kept saying 'AAAAAHHHHH' which is what she does when she cuddles her dolls... It was so cute...
Other than that not alot else going on... We are doing some Ceremonies tomorrow afternoon with close friends & family... In Bali they have birthdays celebrated every 6 mths so Indah will have all the ones she has missed as will Maddy & so I will then add pic's to the site for havng a look at... I hope it doesnt rain... MIL is cooking all day today a heap of Indonesian food so that's good, as i have Maddy playing basketball in her new team tomorrow morning! So we will be busy!
Ok well I hope your all groovalicious & will catch up soon!
MORNING SOPH... Posting at the same time I think!!!!!!
-
Hi Ladies!!
Wow Trace, you sure a re busy! How cute of Indah kissing little Ella!
Hiya Soph, how ya doin'?
Pain's all gone now, well just a little left in my calf oooooo it was so bad.
Zac woke up soaking wet a 5am this morning, we changed him & put him in bed with me he had a bottle & eventually went back to sleep, woke up at 8.30 dripping wet again?????It was really nice having cuddles with him, he never comes in our bed anymore.
Where has everybody gone?
-
Trace it sounds gorgeous..lots of lovely memories being created there eh.
Wet boy...wonder what thats all about Storm??
Soph thanks for rescuing our disappearing thread..arghh.
Been really busy ladies...Livvy has her princess sleepover party today...the house looks gorgoeous. We gave her her bed stuff early..it looks just magical...the butterflies on the canapy just look fantastic...i want some lol. Just a bit more cooking to do and I can finish up....we have the day on the green tomorrow too with the whitlams, alex loyd and a few others..should be nice.
Hope you are all well little bubbies are behaving themselves!
Jo
-
Hi girls, sorry I've been a bit quiet, I worked on Monday and again on Wednesday night and it left me exhausted! Think I'm going to have to give up the night shifts...the last two that I've done have made me so tired that I've been physically sick - at work! Yuk!
Jo...the butterflies sound beautiful! I hope Livvy has a wonderful party. The day on the green sounds great. How did your clairvoyant seminar go the other night?
Storm...I got cuddles this morning too. Josh woke up at 5.30am, so we jumped into one of the spare beds together and slept in until 8.30! So nice. Glad to hear the pain has gone, it sounded awful!
Soph...how was mother's group? Yum @ your pumpkin soup!
Trace...sounds like your IL's are having a great time. Hope it doesn't rain for the ceremonies tomorrow. Would love to see some pics afterwards. All the cooking your MIL is doing sounds great too!
Cass...glad to hear that you & Kaitlyn are on the mend. Good to hear that your DH's op went well too...
Alex...hope you avoided the gastro! What a lovely birthday pressie for you, getting to see your little bub! Looking forward to hearing all about it!
Brooke, Fletch, Rae, Louise...hi!
We are going down the coast to Nowra for the weekend to stay with some friends. They have little boy about 6 months older than Josh, so they'll have a great time playing together. We're going to the markets at Kiama on Sunday. Hopefully I might find a few things for Christmas.
Storm, Tracey & Alex...I'll send you all a PM now with our news. ;)
-
YAY Jo,
I hope Livvy has a wonderful party!!! I bet her room looks amazing..... I am jealous too I'd love that in my room!!!
I asked maddy what she'd like to do for her party as the Il's look to be hanging around still then so I cant really dop too much like taking kids here & there or having sleep overs all our rooms are full... So we discussed it & she has invited 10 friends over for a BBQ party!!! I'll try to make it as Special as possible for her... I hope it goes OK, ofcourse she's invited 6 Boys & 4 girls!! hee hee my little Tomboy!!!
OOOH I too wanted to know about the Clairvopyant seminar ...? Sounds so exciting & interesting!!!!!
OOh Beck, cant wait to hear blue or pink...
-
Sounds great Trace...im sure your little girl will have a wonderful party no matter what! Itll be lovely being able to share it with her both sets of grandparents too! I kept teasing Livvy about stealing her butterflies...tooo sweet!
Bec sounds like you have got a wonderful weekend planned. Have fun wont you. It will be so nice for little Josh to have a little mate to play with! Hows the name game going for you?? Any decisions yet?
The seminar was fantastic..i should say medium not clarvoyant..sorry was in a rush when i was typing. There were about 50 of us there and it was mindblowing. I have a fairly open mind but i do still think its good to keep a healthy skepticism but honestly there could be no doubt that this guy is communicating..it was really amazing. I broke down in tears when he was talking to a woman sitting near to me..her little girl was run over when she was 5 1/2 and came through to her mummy....was really emotional stuff....but not eerie at all ..just really healthy and funny. There were so many funny stories to tell and lots of giggles.
Well..i better go make some honey crackles while little man is asleep.
Jo
-
Ah that got you all talking again LOL!
Wow Jo that sounds amazing! I'm not sure about that stuff either, but like you try and keep an open mind. I went to this lady when I was living in Edinburgh and at the time I thought everything she said was a load of rubbish, but it ended up being right! Very scarey. Oh the room sounds lovely. Have fun tonight!
Trace - Love that Maddy is such a tom boy - so much fun! Bet Indah ends up being a really girly girl.
Bec - Mothers group was heaps of fun - so happy I don't have to move away from the lovely ladies I have met. Have a great time in Nowra.
Storm - Glad you are feeling better.
We got a new Target in Ballina and it's a proper one not a country one. Coudl have spent a fortune there today. hehehehe small things amuse me easily!
I love being a mummy. I have been reading this great book called 'My Child Won't Eat' (posted about it in the BF, bottlefeeding, solids thread) and it's AWESOME. I feel so much happier having read it. Now I really am just going to try and enjoy my kids. They won't fade away. I am so lucky!
-
Good for you Soph. Its so great when you read a book that really resonates with you. Enjoy your precious babies!!! And yay for Target lol!!!!! We have a big w and a target but we only got kmart this year and i was the same lol!!
Jo

Jo - I now have all 3 within 5 mins walk from home - yipppeeeeeee
