Babies Born December 2005 #15

Hi girls - I know I should be in bed but I had to organise a website for Marnie.
http://www.totsites.com/tot/marnie
Hope you enjoy~!

Hey ladies! :)

Well it's getting late but I know I'm in for a late night with Maddy. She's been asleep since I left home at 6:40pm to pick up John from the train station. She even slept through when we were at the shops having coffee, despite all the noise. John has her on his chest in the lounge so now i'm just waiting for her to wake so I can give her the big feed and hopefully get her straight off to sleep after that.

Went to my first gym class today - Body Fit - it's called. It's this high energy step class and I just about died. *LOL* Fortunately I wasn't the only relatively unfit person in the class...talk about spazz though. hehe Maddy went to their daycare for the hour & a bit, and didn't really fuss until the last 10 minutes when she realised Mummy had disappeared. *rolls eyes* Also did the food shopping and didn't hit any parked cars trying to get out of the insanely busy shopping centre at school home time!

AF chose first thing this morning (my first day of driving on my own and looking forward to going to the gym) to make an appearance after 18 months of freedom (excluding the post-partum bleeding). *sigh* A few niggly cramps, but not too bad or overly heavy at this point which is great.

Tomorrow we're off to the dentist for John to get his wisdom teeth pulled (2), and while that's happening I'm off to the shops with my sister to get John's father's day present sorted. We're broke until next pay day so it's just going to be much like everyone else's idea. I'm going to pick some pretty paper, print a poem & message from Maddy on it and then get her to put her handprints over the top. Target had this cool freebie bag last week during Baby Week which they were handing out. In there is this little handprint stamp set which apparently turns out translucent so I think it'll work well over the computer printing. I hope. *L* I'm going to buy one of those dual frames and then put a photo of our little family in the other side.

Renee, I'm off to check out Marnie's website after I post this. I'm sure it's gorgeous - can't wait to see more photos of your little cutie! So sorry to hear you're ill, I hope it's not pneumonia, just a chest infection that clears up very quickly for you.

Meg, I think that's so cool that you get on so well with Tilly's dad. Must make it so much easier to have him spending time with Tilly; as opposed to a guy you didn't get on with. Wow, just under 2 weeks until you move. It's going to come up so soon...wish I was in Sydney already so I could come over and give you a hand packing!

Melly - oooh, can't wait to see how those piccies of Logan turned out! I'll bet he looks like such a handsome little man. Have you changed your ticker picture recently? Maybe I'm just blind but that looks like a newer photo to me. He is so darned cute in that shot.

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good night. coco did really well, although I was up all night worrying she'd be cold (I didn't have her in her sleeping bag ). Anyway, she woke once for a sec and that was it. I think I'll put her in the bag tonight just so I can relax!! It must be getting warmer though, she wasn't cold and her hands were fine. Just that when she does get uncovered, she might get chilly.
Marnie is sooo cute Renee, love the pics. Great to see you too! Love the christening shot it's gorgeous! I really hope you start to feel better soon. I had a chest infection 3 months back, as did Tim and Coco. Honestly of all of us, Tim was the biggest drama king!! but it wasn't nice, justhope it passes quickly and Marnie doesn't get it.
Beck, thanks for the helping me pack thought, that's very kind! When are you coming to Syd? Has John heard anymore about moving?
Im a bit of a wreck thinking of all the packing, but I suppose it will be good, it will keep me very busy and maybe after school I can get tilly to help. At least I will feel that we can throw out junk and start a clean slate. I love that!!
hope everyone has a good day. im off to get a coffee. I hadn't had coffee for 2 years until recently and then I was just too tired and needed a boost. I mostly have decaf, but now I only feed coco in the morning it really doesn't matter!!
xoxoox

edited to add: I have put a couple of pics on the website, one is of a blossom, I just love it (bit overexcited about my camera I think). ALso Coco is 9 MONTHS today!! Where on earth has time gone?? Still no crawling, but we've got rocking happening. She's also sitting but still prone to falling over. Oh my chilled baby!! xoxo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COCO!!! Wow 9 months already! Love the pics of her showing off those chompers! lol! I love the blossoms pic too, that would win contests!

Awe Beck, you and me both! So many months AF free....oh well! 8 months was a good run! ;)

Dani soo sorry about Socks. :hug: That must be so hard. How is Jett taking it? Does he realize he is gone?

Renee Marnie is soooo cute! Good job on her site! :) I hope you feel better soon!

Melly Cant wait to see the new Logan pics!!

Well, I cant write now cause the kids are due to show up any minute! OOO Just wanted to add I can now fit into clothes that havent fit in YEARS!! This exercise and weight loss contest is working! I feel great...and sore!

You all have a GREAT Friday night!

I typed this up earlier but am having such a hard time posting at the moment.

Happy 9 months Coco!

Beck, I changed the ticker a little while ago, but I since I haven't been on much, it probably hasn't been shown before, maybe? I don't know. I thought he looked so cheeky, he loves to play with his food, too bad I still can't get him to eat much. He wants to do it himself I think. Good on you for going to the gym! I looked at Maddys new pics, she is so cute

I'm so tired. I went to Royal North Shore Hospital today. I thought I was having laser surgery on my eye to fix the turn, but I didn't get it done. The just looked at my eye and were saying how much of a success story I am because I was so premature and back then a lot of babies were disabled or blind if born that early. I actually had to stay in RNS Hospital for 3 months after I was born so it was kind of good to actually see the hospital. But anyway.. they put drops in my eyes to dilate my pupils, so that felt weird. I got such a shock when I went outside in to the sunlight and couldn't see it was so bright. I'm glad Mum came with me so she could watch Logan and help me when I couldn't see outside LOL The opthamologist didn't want to do surgery unless it is a last resort since it can sometimes give people double vision, so I have to do eye exercises and go back in 3 months to get my eyes checked again.

Renee, I just checked out Marnies site. Wow, she is absolutely gorgeous! I love the pjs
So, I have to add.. Meg, that photo of the blossoms is fantastic! I love the photos of Coco, she is such a beautiful baby

Sarajo, congrats on the fitting in to clothes you haven't worn in years!

Thanks Mel and Sarajo, I just love my blossom. I have it on my wall!!
Mel, glad you didn't need surgery, hope your eye fixes itself!
Sarajo, CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss and fitting in your clothes. That is really awesome!! Well done, doesnt' it just make you feel so much happier!
Im really looking forward to seeing your halloween costumes this year! I bet Abby will look great! You are so good at dressing her up!!
Beck, how's the driving going? Well done doing the shopping at school time, that's great! Must just give you so much more freedom, Im really happy for you!
Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend. The weather is soooo beautiful here, I just LOVE spring!!!
xoxoxoxo

*LOL* Meg, love the new ticker photo of Coco. It's totally 'what? What'd I do?'. Glad you have such wonderful weather down in Sydney, you guys deserve it. It's horrible up here in Brisbane - has been for most of the week. Much needed rain, but such a pain when you're trying to get a baby in and out of a car; not to mention my Mum's moving today so we're gonna be carrying stuff in the rain.

Melly, sorry to hear that you couldn't have the surgery to fix the eye; but hope the exercises help you to correct that without needing the surgery down the road. My mum almost had me over 2 months early at the Royal North Shore. :) They managed to stop the contractions for another 3-4 weeks until they were back in Brisbane. That's good that your Mum could help you with Logan yesterday while you had those drops in. LOVE the ticker photo of Logan. He is going to be such a heartbreaker when he's older. hehe

Sarajo - WAHOO on fitting those clothes. I have about 10kgs (20+ pounds) to go before I fit all of my old clothes. Always thought I was 'fat' back then but what I wouldn't give to be 'that' fat right now! *LOL* Good on you for sticking to the exercise plans...are you finding that you're feeling better about yourself mentally since you started? I know I haven't had any PND feelings in the past week or so since I got my license and I've been going to the gym.

I'd better fly as my PILs are back with Maddy (who has a fever today) so I need to give her a feed before I head off to Mum's. She's staying at home today with Daddy out of the cold weather. John had a wisdom pulled yesterday so he's a bit of a bear with a sore head because he doesn't like to take medication.

BBL.... :)

Hi everyone - I am back in the land of the living - kind of. I woke up Thursday night with the shakes and sweats so my caring husband took me to hospital. Turns out I do have a chest infection. David has woken up this morning with the same thing so off to the doctor's for him and I now have to look after him and Marnie so am not thinking about being sick and will just get by. I was so glad to have him home yesterday I don't know how I would of coped. I literally slept for 48 hours.
Anyway enough about me. Thanks for all your kind comments about Marnie's site. I haven't looked back on it yet but no doubt there is much more to do.
Well done Sara on fitting back into all your clothes!
Meg may I look at Coco's site? How do I do this?
Gotta go Marnie Moo has had enough of the Jolly Jumper.

Renee, glad you're on the mend. Bummer about the trip to hospital. Just click on my name and the website will come up, down the bottom of the first page it says photos, so just click on that.
Beck, Coco seems to have a fever today too. BUMMER. Hoping it's nothing much, Im so over the illnesses. Hope Maddy's doesn't develop either. Maybe its' their teeth !! ??
Glad you're feeling happier too, i think it must make a huge differences having some freedom and independence. Not to mention the gym, well done to you too.
hope everyone is doing well. Rach, what has happened to you? HOpe all is well with you and Hannah. Christie, how are you feeling at the moment??
xoxo

Awe Renee, so sorry you are so sick! I hope you and DH feel better real soon!

Beck it is wonderful what working out and keeping busy and losing weight has done for my "funk"! I really feel so much better, inside and out! I'm glad to hear your PND has gotten better too! That is wonderful! I forgot to congratulate you on your drivers test! YAY!! 3 CHEERS!! GREAT JOB!

Meg thank you! I love dressing her up! I cant wait! I know what she is going to bee, but not sure about me yet! Did you get the hint about what she is going to BEE? I found the costume at a 2nd hand store for just $4.50, so I just couldnt pass it up! Take any more pics on the new camera yet? I think your second calling is to be a professional photographer! Ever thought of it? LOL at "spring"! It is just becoming fall here. I love fall! It is still very hot here though, and I am ready for things to cool down! Abby and I had fun playing in the sprinkler tonight though! :)

Melly wow I didnt know you had the problems with your eyes! How are you feeling now? So you were a preemie? How early were you? I was 8 weeks early myself, but my mom may have had my due date wrong since I wa still born at over 4 pounds!

Well, you all have a gREAT day! My parents will be here tomorrow! YAAAYYYYY!!

ETA: Awe sorry bubs with fevers! Get lots of rest little ones!

Sarajo, have fun with your parents!!
Just had to tell you all about our run inwith our neighbour from HELL. She just rang at 2pm to tell me that she's having her tiles ripped up off her kitchen floor at THAT second. Welll I had JUST put coco down and it's directly above her room. My neighbour said "oh well, im telling you now". of course she knew earlier, but wanted to annoy us.
Next thing (she's 96 almost deaf) I hear her on the phone laughing hysterically tellling another neighbour how she just rang me and how funny it is that I had just put the baby to bed. WHAT A COW. I had to get coco up and tim has her at the park now. but my poor baby is sick and needs sleep. I was SO angry that timand I stormed up and just yelled at her. I have had it with her constant *****ing about me. I hear her every day talking about me. I am not a bad person, Im a considerate neighbour. Obviously she has nothign better to do. I just can't WAIT to move and for her to have no idea we'd sold...or are going to rent it out. She will just HATE that we have done it without telling her. I can't wait!!
anyway, had to vent. I was so furious.
xoxo

Meg, that neighbour is beyond evil. I hope she's miserable and lonely; because that's just nasty purposely laughing because you're having workmen ripping up tiles and there is a baby downstairs trying to sleep. Selfish git. Grrrrrrr..... So angry for you! {{{{{hugs}}}}} :(

Just gotten back from helping Mum move & I'm stuffed. Gotta go drop my sister & niece home now. Done so much driving in the past two days. Came home to find Maddy howling because she'd just bumped her head. Has a nice red mark on the middle of her forehead to show for it. Her temperature last night must have been around the 39 degrees mark when I gave her children's panadol because my FIL took it earlier (when she didn't feel nearly as hot) and it was over 38.5. :( Poor little chooken, it's much lower now and she's actually eaten some food.

Hope Coco is feeling better soon Meg! :(

Sarajo - bee costume?! That is SO cute! hehe Can't wait to see photos of her all dressed up. You were 8 weeks early? I was just over a month I think, although I did try to arrive 2 months early and they didn't think I'd survive. I was around the 5 pound mark I think. Sounds like a lot of the December ladies were premmies! Love the new ticker photo of Abby btw!!!! She's sooo adorable.

Renee - You poor hon, that chest infection sounds so rough! :( Also sorry to hear that your hubby & Marnie are both sick now too. May the sickness fairy leave your house as soon as possible. That's great that David could take off the day to take care of you and watch Marnie. With that sleep there's no doubt you'll be healthier quicker.

I think Im the only one not premie!! Well obviously being premie is not genetic!!!
Beck, at least you're getting LOADS of driving practice!! Must be so fun not to have to have someone with you, that's a drag. That's nice of you to help your mum move, I have that to look forward to in 2 weeks, our boxes just arrived this arvo and Tilly is in her room packing away!!
I just wish we'd find out for sure if we have buyers!
Glad to hear Maddy is improving. Coco woke with no temp so Im hoping it's the teething thing. Always something, I'll be so glad when all the winter bugs have gone (and all teeth are through)...will be waiting a while for the latter!!
Sarajo, can't wait to see Abby as a bee, how gorgeous!!
have a good night everyone. xoox

Thanks Meg - Coco's site is beautiful. Your neighbour sounds terrible - I am sure you won't be upset to see the back of her!
I hope you have a great time with your parents Sara!
I've gotta go Marnie is crying and David is coughing! When will I get two minutes to myself??

:hello: Hello Ladies,
THIS IS A LONG CATCH UP POST…
I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Happy Fathers Day you all of your Daddy’s and your babies Daddy’s.
Not much new here, did I mention how hard it is to juggle work and home. I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew. I have doubled the amount of work to do now which kinda sucks.
Oh well Jett seems to be doing okay without me but he is so happy to see me when I get home it just melts me.
Is anyone else having trouble with a baby that doesn’t like to sleep past 5:30am?
Jett used to wake at 7am each morning but for the last month it has been 5:30am.
He still has no teeth and isn’t crawling; I am not sure what is wrong?? He has no interest in trying to crawl all he does is spin around in circles; he is so way behind the 8 ball.
Thanks for all of your hugs and kind wishes. I am okay about things now. I have gotten rid of all the reminders, her bed and bowls and food. I am okay when I don’t think about things. I now have to decide what I am going to do? If I pick her up or just pay to have her cremated. I am leading towards the second I just can’t cope to do the whole burial thing.
On a lighter note, Ben woke up when Jett did and he wanted his Father’s day present early ( Ben normally isn’t a morning person). Jett made Ben a finger painting at Daycare and Ben just loves it. He also got a game for his play station, a big toblerone bar, boxers and a zip up hoddie. All I got was bloody chocolates and flowers, Think I got robbed(it is the thought that counts)!!!
Renee – I am so with you on the Poker thing Ben sits up all bloody night playing on line poker. I guess it isn’t that bad as he doesn’t use any money.
I have checked out Marnie’s site she is such a cutie. Keep me updated when you add pictures to it.. I love checking out all of our December babies.
I hope that you are on the mend and it it is just a chest infection and nothing more serious.
Mel – I love the idea of the hand prints in the card. I am not to sure if Jett would let me do that or not. I can’t even cut his nails at the moment as he is just waving his hands all over the shop.
LOL, I think Jett’s painting for Ben was supposed to be hand pints and he did the same thing as Logan, funny!! I can’t wait to see the pictures of Logan I am sure they are cute.
Beck – I too love rum and coke.. I am getting better with coping with my licker intake. Hehehehe!!!
I love Maddy’s new ticker, Ladybirds are my favourites. The pictures of Maddy are gorgeous.
I bet it feels weird and good cruzing around on your own, I know when I first got my licence I was a granny’s driving doing 40km everywhere until I got confidence.
I got John’s teeth pulling went okay, I have to get all four of mine done but I know it is going to be a bit to recover so I have to wait till I have enough sick leave with my new job and then in I go..
I love the idea for father’s day I may do that one for Christmas for Ben.
Meg - I love the new picture of Coco, she is just divine!!! I love the blossom, You have inpired me to get a new camera, mine is just a crappy 3.1 MP. I want a wiz bang one. What did you get?? I was looking at a Sony one the other day..
WOW on Coco’s teeth as I said above Jett still has none. I just hope that he isn’t in pain with them.
I am so happy that Coco’s sleeping is on track for you now let’s hope it continues.
I so hear you about the boxes and moving thing Meg. I will be thinking of you, I found it so hard to get it done with Jett around as he always was getting into everything. Bloody banks I hate them I would be so glad if I didn’t have to deal with them at all.
Scratchies packs are the best thing, my sister always gets my Dad one for father’s day and he loves it. I am sure that Tim will love his mouse pad.
It is so weird to think we have 9 month old babies. I keep buying 6 month old baby food then I realise I can buy 7 -9 month old. Oh, Jett is the same as Coco, he doesn’t even rock. He is the best sitter ever, he has never toppled over but I just want him to crawl or get teeth or do something!!! He loves to chat and he never shuts up. Blah blah, dada dada all day.
Sarajo – No Jett has no idea about Socks, he only used to play with her if I brought her inside as she was normally an outside cat. I don’t really want another cat at this stage as I a really flat out with work and Jett and Ben I really have no time, we have two dogs so that is enough.
I know doesn’t it feel great when all of your old clothes fit, I put on a pair of ¾ jean shorts that I wore after we got married and they fit just great I am wrapped. I haven’t really been working out as of late but I think it is because I have no time to sit down and I am on the go 24/7.
I loved the new picture she has the best smile.
I can’t wait to see that buzzing little Bee, she will look great.
Tiggy – Those two, awwwe!! Bless them. I hope you are doing well.
I have to go I have been I front of this thing all morning and Jett has already watch Baby Einstein on repeat once.
:) Have a great day all:)

Dani, well done with your mammoth post!! Great to hear from you, sorry you're so busy, hope it all becomes more routine soon. At least Jett is happy with it all, that's the main thing I suppose!
Don't worry, I got an email from baby something and it was coco at 9 months. Absolute classic, she's doing none of it!! It was talking about climbing. Hello, i think she'll have to move to do that!!! She does move a heap, but all on her tum! She's still doing the rocking and after a while just goes "plonk" on her face. Very cute. Im so not worried though, she is a huge talker, loves to sit and play and roll around, it will all happen in good time. Also we're outta here in two weeks, would be great if she waited until then as I have cords etc everywhere, and so much junk with packing.
Tilly has already packed her room...very cute!! So at least barbie shoes are out of the way. The thing I dread is the kitchen. I always forget HOW MUCH stuff is in those cupboards...plates, cutlery, tins, glasses etc etc. It's scary!!
Went to do the washing today and another of the old fogy neighbours (a man) is ignoring me. It really ****es me off. I am not into abusing old women, but our neighbour is really awful to us. It is not us that are the mean ones. I get so peeved when that happens, it looks like we're bullies, when really Im just trying to protect my family.
Oh well, the countdown is on 12 days until we're OUTTA here (or is it 13)...won't include the saturday because we'll be gone!! YIPEE YIPEE> Now all we need is a signature....hopefully we'll know that tomorrow!
hope everyone is having alovely fathers day. Tim is feeding coco her lunch and then we're off to lunch down at the beach with the inlaws. Then we're dropping in on tims dad on the way home, but I am NOT a fan of his. He has been the most neglectful father ever. Loves his second family (second wife, 3 kids) but couldn't give a stuff about tim, his first born. I don't get people sometimes.
xoxoxo

Wow Dani what a post! It was great to read all of your replies to everyone because I think when I skim them if I don't check for a few days I must miss a lot - but you have it covered. Your DH was certainly spoilt! David collects number plates and I ordered one that said BEST DAD. It was all paid for (Ebay) and then they contacted this week to say could I please send a cheque - after I had directly deposited into their account. Very cranky! So Dave didn't get that present but I made him breakfast in bed. We are still all sick and Marnie has woken up with it this morning as well. Temp of 39.5! Not nice.
Gotta go - I'll finish later Marnie is awake!

Renee - No good to hear Marnie is sick, Poor bubba. I know what you mean about Ebay we brought a spare car seat of there and it never turned up. I was mega p***ed off, nothing we can really do as the user is no longer registed, we will only get minimal money back from Ebay.:(
Meg - I call Jett the council working gummy shark (no offence if anyone works for the council). I laugh too when I get those emails.We have children that are going to be social butterfly's that sit around all day. Hehehe
Betta get ready to see my Dad.
Have a good day:)

I've come down with some weird illness. Got sore neck and sore throat. WAs up for 2 hours from midnight with coco who had high temp. Is'n't it spring, aren't we meant to be getting better?????????????
hope marnie is better Renee. HOpe everyone is gettting better xox

Oh you poor thing Meg. I don't want to scare you but that is how this gastro thing starts around this way. Have you had a cough?? It is suppose to start with that, it is the same syptoms as a cold. Sorry :(
I don't start work till 10 today gives me a chance to do last nights dishes..
Have a good day all..

Hope it's not gastro! I don't think it is with me. Coco has a green runny nose and has had temp on and off for three days, just worse today. I have booked into Doc's for this arvo.
Im just soooo tired I want to sleep all day. We had a nap this morn but the neighbours were sooo noisy. Currently one neighbour is watering the garden under our unit. what about water restrictions!!
Still no news on the sale.
have a good one all xo

Where is everyone?
We had the worst getting to sleep tonight. Poor coco ,she screamed HYSTERICALLY for an hour. I could not console her. Doc said virus, great help that is. Poor babe couldn't breath adn she was overtired, so very hard to get her off.
Im still spun out about Steve Irwin, I loved him. The poor family, it's so tragic.
hope everyone sleeps well. My head and throat are killing, I really hope coco sleeps for me tonight!
xoxo

Meg you sound like I did last Thurs - sore neck, throat SOOOO tired. We are slowly getting back on the mend here now. I didn't go to work today because Marnie and Dave were still sick - it's amazing how quickly a mother recovers? Or not recovers but just has to keep going. My cough is awful - I sound like an old man. Marnie has been coughing tonight and the poor cherub sounds like me.
I hope Coco is feeling better tomorrow - it's so hard when they are little and they can't tell you how they are feeling. I hope you have a good night sleep and feel healthier tomorrow.
I am trying to get the house together before I do two casual days at school on Thursday and Friday. My basket of ironing is getting bigger and bigger. THe canteen lady at school takes in ironing & I rang her yesterday to do it. BUt I just can't get my head around paying $35 for a basket that takes an hour to do and is full of baby girl clothes. I'll need to get into that tomorrow (and find someone cheaper! I hate ironing but love ironed clothes - possible won't feel that way with more children!)
My birthday is this Saturday! I'll be the big 29! Cannot believe how fast this year is going - Marnie is 9 months soon - it's a bit scary. She is so much fun at the moment and loves to clap her hands. It is precious. David is suppose to be taking me out for dinner and Marnie is going to have a sleep over at her Geetie and Poppa's. Unfortunately if we don't get better it will probably be pizza and a video!
I hope all you lovely ladies have a wonderful week and get lots & lots of sleep.
I also hope our babies are better soon and enjoy this beautiful weather.

I typed up a post earlier, but it didn't go through.. hmm
Logan is pulling himself up on anything he can get his hands on, and managed to walk while holding on to his push walker thingie (it's too late for good explanations!). I've put some pics on his photobucket.

Meg, I hope you feel better soon

I will try to come back tomorrow.. or today I mean, and do more personals sorry

Happy bday for sat Renee!! My bday is next friday (15th), so we're both virgos!!
Still feeling awful. Infact have just pulled myself out of bed for something to eat. Wasn't hungry but felt ill from all the panadol and nurofen!! Coco not good either, she slept 2.5 hours this morn, must be sick!
Just hope we're not stuck like this forever. Tim is home today, but at uni from 5pm and I don't know how to manage with both girls for dinner and bath, when Ican barely walk.
Oh well, will have to soldier on.
hope everyone is well. Beck, where have you gotten to?? Driving around maybe !!
xox

Hi Everyone

Im just checking in quickly

I typed up the biggest post the other night, because I had a couple of hours to myself, and I was so happy.... I caught up with everything and everyone... then when I went to post, it just vanished into cyber space! Next thing you know, Im logged out of BB. Which is weird cos I never log out.

Anyway I was so angry, I just couldnt bring myself write it over again! Really unimpressed I was. Guess I will have to start doing the big posts over in Word again and copy + paste them over like I used to on the old BB site that died all the time!

Jasmine is going very well. She is just going crazy pulling herself up on anything she can. Even people's legs! But the other night she banged her head at Grandma's and had a tiny bump. I thought that might put her off the climbing, but no. Its pretty stressful for me!

We have Jasmines christening this Sunday so I will be a bit busy this week. Still so much to organise! Hope to catch up soon though, maybe I might get a small break this week too!

xoxo Hope youre all well, if not that your getting better, and all your babies are happy and healthy!

Kate, hope Jasmine's christening goes well, Im sure it will be lovely. Looking forward to seeing pics!!
Well, the sale from hell is going to fall through...I think. Its looking very iffy at the moment. I am so over it that the depression hasn't sunken in. Maybe lucky Im sick as I don't have enough energy to focus on it.
Anyway, if so we're putting our moving date back to end of Sept and then we'll just have to rent it out. REally upsetting as this means we can't afford to buy or rent so will be with inlaws indefinitely. That will kill me. Especially as I won't be able to just chill with tv after coco goes to bed (they won't have it on until at least 8.30pm ). So guess I'll be recording alot of idol!!
Will keep you updated, I just have bad feeling about it. Especially since the real estate has said they are meeting with their solicitor this friday to put a list of questions together that they don't quite "understand" about company title and our unit. BIT LATE FOR THAT>.....soooooooooooooooooooooooooo angry.x.xoxo

Hey lovely ladies!

Sorry I've been missing so much! Meg, you were right - I have been galivanting around Brisbane with Maddy...*LOL* I'm so slack, I keep promising to come and do personals, but I never seem to get to do more than just update you all on us. I promise I'll get better!

About to go to bed (getting up early to drop John off at work is killing me at the moment but I guess a smallish price to pay for having the car at my disposal) but wanted to say 'hi'. Miss Madeline is still recovering from a virus. She had high temps (over 38 degrees) from Friday night through to Monday evening. Add to that, she's about to cut two top teeth and a bottom side tooth as well I think; oh and she's had gunky eyes as well. Poor little chicken, she's such a trooper though. :)

For me, well I'm just trying to make it to the gym. *L* Was all disciplined Monday morning but the gym instructor had some emergency and didn't turn up. *rolls eyes* Spent most of today at my Grandma's helping scrub the granny flat clean; which involved me on my hands & knees scrubbing the floor with ajax. I'm already feeling the exertion from today - can only begin to imagine how I'm gonna feel tomorrow.

Love you all, will get on tomorrow hopefully. A friend's Dad had a heart attack in his arms on Sunday so I'm catching up with him for lunch tomorrow. Poor guy, can't think of anything more distressing. His Dad is in ICU but will apparently be ok.

I just have a sec to post, so I will have to do personals later, just wanted to give Meg a big hug and say I hope it all works out! How frustrating for you!

I also wanted to say that I hope all the sick bubs feel better soon, and I hope the sick mamas get better and lots of rest!

Abby was standing in her crib after nap time today! WOW! She is growing up too fast! We had a GREAT visit with my parents!

Have a better day today all! :)

Beck, glad Maddy has improved, and it sounds like you're totally busy!! Hope you're feeling happier!
Sarajo, glad your visit with parents went well. Bet they couldn't get enough of Abby!
I think I have tonsilitis or something. i don't think I've ever been in so much pain in the head/throat/neck area. Absolutely awful. Coco had trouble breathing last night so I slept with her, and at 10.30pm she woke. I was so sick I had to crawl in to get Tim and he had to pat her for an hour. I stayed in coco's room, as she kept stopping breathing (she was trying to breath through very blocked nose). I woke at 5am feeling atrocious, and will be taking coco's appointment at the Doc's today!!
hope everyone is doing well. Tim has had to leave really early this morning and Im not coping very well.
will try to get on later, xoxo

Goodness you sound awful Meg! I hope you and Coco get better soon. Poor baby girl - It's awful when they are all blocked up. One of Marnie's nostrils was completely blocked this morning (with beautiful green snot which had gone dry - disgusting!) So we had a 5:30am wake up this morning which we haven't had in ages. SHe cried so hard when David tried to wash her face - poor little thing. I hope you can work out your living arrangement Meg so it suits you. I dont know what I would do if I had to live with my in-laws but I am sure they will enjoy having the girls around. Might give you a chance to recuperate?
Wow Sara - Abby is standing on her own? That is so exciting. I don't think Marnie realises she could do this yet. She can't work out that her arms and knees can move at the same time - so she usually crawls like an army soldier. Too funny.
It sounds like you have definitely go the driving bug Beck! Don't worry this will one day pass! It is amazing the sense of independence you receive from driving - and you start to wonder how on earth you ever got around before you had your licence don't you? Good luck with the gym. Once I get over this sickness I need to get back into the fitness thing. I thought I was healthy enough to play netball last night but I certainly felt it at the end of the game and coughed more than ever last night.
Well I must go. I am getting my hair done this afternoon and will have to tackle the ironing before hand if I am to work for the next 2 days.
I hope all the babies have a great day - and let their mums have a rest!

Hope you're fully better soon Renee, and Marnie too, I hear you on the green snot situation!!
Just got back from Doc, think he wanted to panic me. He said I have some virus and sometimes it can cause the brain to swell and meningitis. JUst GREAT!! Anyway, he said I was dehydrated and needed water, neurofen and rest. Don't know about the last one, but have started on first two.
Mum is coming up with lunch and I think coco is hungry. She's been really whingy and I just remembered I had no breakfast for her, so off to make her lunch. I feel bad, but I did ask Tim to buy some fruit for her yesterday and instead he got her some jars of baby jelly....not quite what I was after to mix with her oats. Anyway, at least she's had heaps of milk.
hope everyone's doing ok.
xoxoxo

hi all just a quick one to say we are well< and to all who watch sunrise< i don"t know if you saw it on thurs morn on grants eight am segment owen was on it!!he was right next to the lady grant was talking to!!
ps does anyone know if you can get tapes of these things??

Christie, how cute owen was on!! I didn't see it unfortunately. You could ring Channel 7 and ask for a tape. They might charge, but they may do it for you. Worth a try!
How is the pregnancy going? Hope you're feeling well.
Ok, I feel that Im hovering on bb. Everyone else has a life and I don't!!! That's the prob with being sick, we can't go anywhere, so Im stuck in my unit and the computer is the most exciting thing to do!! I have coco watching a baby brain video and luckily for the moment she is happy. Thank goodness, hope it lasts!
xo

Meg :hug:

No life here. We are struggling with sick bubs too in this part of the world.
I had to ask David to take the day off because I couldn't cope one more day on my own.

I don't know what to say...we need a big rain and a huge wind to get rid of all these bugs. I hope you and Coco feel better soon.

Don't worry, I hover on BB all the time but often just don't post.

Tiggy, hope you're all better soon. The ticker pic is gorgeous, at least they look lovely and healthy!! I thought spring would bring better health, but I guess it's now hayfever season! Don't know how or why I've picked up a weird virus, maybe it's my body saying slow down, relax and drink more water!! You really do forget about yourself when putting kids first. Tiggy, you would know this more than me!!
Did I tell you all, Im going to see Jamie Oliver next thurs!! for my bday a friend got two tickets to his show at the Seymor Centre. Im sooooo excited, I love Jamie!!
Im also trying to get tickets to see Idol. My sister and I went afew years back (shannon and guy year) it was pretty fun, and I love seeing people sing, so trying again for tickets.
xoxo

What's happened to everyone???
Still sick here, I am feeling awful. Just taken my millionth lot of neurofen. coco's temp hasn't come back since two nights ago thank goodness, but the nose is so blocked and it sounds like she's getting a cough....no!!
Our beautiful spring weather has gone to be replaced by huge winds and a bucket load of rain last night. Just had to take coco out in the wind and it was awful and freezing, hopefully I didn't make her illness worse.
How's everyone going? I miss everyone...
Tomorrow I have to go to my aunties to organise my mums suprise 60th. It's the rock n roll theme and yesterday I bought a dress of ebay ($13 including postage) .just hope I actually get it and then that it fits. It's a risk, but for $13 I thought "why not"!!
hope everyone is well and that their bubs are too!!
xoxo

Meg, sorry you're still feeling awful, I hope you feel better soon.

The weather here was awful this morning. It poured down, I got drenched, at least Logan has a cover for his stroller so he was happy. He is obsessed with trying to walk still. He loves his walker that he pushes. He can even stand totally unsupported for a couple of minutes sometimes.

He still isn't really interested in solids yet, but apparently it's not too much for me to worry about. He does sometimes eat things at daycare. Today they had a cake for a boys birthday so Logan came home covered in chocolate mud cake! He ate a little bit of his piece and smeared the rest all over himself LOL

Have a great time at your mum's 60th Meg! I love dress up parties.
Today's weather was also awful here Melinda. So gusty - and didn't I have to work and be on morning duty - lovely great for my cold. I just can't pass up casual days - they are so worth the money. I had a lovely time teaching Kinder and am looking forward to teaching my 'babies' from last year in Year 1 tomorrow.
I am looking forward to my baby free night tomorrow night! Going out for dinner all glammed up - can't wait! I'll miss Marnie but I know she will be lovingly looked after at her grandparents - i think the word for it is spoiled - that's what they're for!
My sister sent me lovely candles for my bathroom today and the house smells lovely. Which reminds me it sure didn't last night. We kept smellig something weird in the fridge so I finally opened this container which used to have a lovely cauliflower soup in it - let me tell you how gross it was - I've never smelt something worse and actually vomited! Bad cauliflower is not nice.
Well I must go and have a shower before Marnie's rollover feed. Does anyone else do this. Marnie will sleep until 6:30 - 7am if I do this but if not she will wake up through out the night. I am wondering how long I'll have to do it for. I am still breastfeeding her but wonder if I should cut this feed out. Let me know what your gorgeous babies night routines are like. Marnie is in bed between 7 and 8. Actually it was 6:30 tonight because she is so sick. Bless her.
I think I am seriously addicted to Belly Belly - I didn't think I would be capable of it - but here I am logging on at least 3 times a week.
Have a great night!

:hello: Hello Ladies,
Oh I am so excited. I think one of Jett’s bottom teeth may be coming through. It is really raised and he has gone of his solids and bottles for about a week now.
I hope it is his tooth a tooth…:pray:
Does anyone else’s baby sleep with a pillow? I have had Jett with use in bed and he loves our pillows. I have put one under his cot sheet on the suggestion of my MIL as he can’t get it and put it over his face.
Meg – I am sorry you're still feeling sick, I hope you feel really better soon. Those dvd’s are so handy, Jett has a whole heap of Baby Einstein ones. He loves them as the puppets do funny stuff.
Oh Jamie Oliver is so entertaining, I love watching him cook. I can’t wait till his new show starts next week? I think???
Uncanny I too would love to see idol as well, I never find the time now to watch it.
I tape all of these shows but never get the chance to watch them.
Dress sounds great, hopefully you do get it. I haven’t had much trouble except for the car seat.
Christie – Glad to hear that you are all doing well. I didn’t see sunrise as I have gone back to work full time but maybe contact channel 7 or email them.
I love the ticker, it is cute. Owen looks so grown up, what a little hottie.
Melly – My goodness Logan is doing so well. You have to be proud of him. I know what you mean about the weather it has been raining down here too. How cute about the mud cake.
Renee – I am so jealous of all of you who BF I wish I had of stuck with it for longer than three weeks.
I give Jett dinner at 5pm and his last feed at 7pm. He used to sleep till 7am but for the last few weeks it has been 5am. I am not to keen on that. He does have a feed then and then goes back to bed till 6:30am - 7am. He normally doesn’t wake during the night.
Bell Belly gets a bit like that, I was doing the same but it was more like logging on three times a day.
Tiggy – Those two just keep getting sweeter every time you put up a new picture. I would ask Ben to take the day off too. I think he would be more bloody use at work. God he just doesn’t get the fact that now I am at work full time I have double the amount of work now. He really s**ts me some times, just leave his crap lying all over the place. I am a neat freak and he isn’t we clash when it comes to tidiness.
Clare – I hope you are all doing well.
Oh I betta go to bed.
Take care all

I just did it again whilst typing this I have been cooking Jett's fruit and I have burnt the crap out of it. What a wally...
