First in

Trish: I hope today is going good for you!!

Olivia still asleep here.. She better grow big from all this sleep lol

[alicia]

Coffee and cake was very nice Nic - sorry. Lucky you having such a sleepy baby today. Although our Olivia was very good sitting outside with me at the garage sale and just went to sleep in the baby bjorn after a good look around.

Livi is in bed already which is nice, however last night she went to bed this early and so was up at 5am. Hope that doesn't happen again tomorrow

We are off to the Motor Show tomorrow - yippee DH is really looking forward to it and I guess I can have some fun picking on the weird cars...

Sleepy vibes to all

[BekZ]

Alicia - I'll take some of those sleepy vibes!!!

Hi everyone.

Have been feeling like poo in the last couple of days. I have nearly thrown in breastfeeding a few times and I have been comp feeding miss Loren more and more, unfortunately the guilt is killing me. Honestly I am being so hard on myself about not being able to bfeed successfully. Geez I am emotional atm. I feel like I have PMT!!!!

Hope every is having a great Saturday night.

Nic - Excellent family pics!!!

[aussienic]

omg I just can't stop laughing tonight.. Since Olivia slept ALL day I basically had a rest day and youtubed comedy stuff. I am addicted now.. I have to take a break though cus everyone is in bed asleep and my laughing will wake them

Olivia finally woke at 6 after 4 hours and was back in bed by 8:30.. Grow baby grow

Bek: don't be so hard on ourself.. Its how happy and loved she feels that matters in the long run isn't it :hugs:

Alicia: I am finally making Haroulas Passionfruit cake tomorrow and having coffee

[TeenaRose]

OMG OMG proud mummy moment here...

Goto www(dot)widdlewuns(dot)com(dot)au and scroll down

Nic - Glad you had a relaxing day today .you deserve it...Enjoy your cake tomorrow I dislike passion fruit becasue of all the seeds Fussy is what mum calls me but oh well I don't like and I wont eat

[aussienic]

yay look at Miss Olivia.. I can say i knew her when

I only like passionfruit on Pav but this cake sounds so good I want to ty it..

[Trish]

Hi girls. Baptism is today.I have spent the last 2 days baking my bum off. Cakes, cookie, you name it. I made a Dorothy the Dinosaur cake for Tehya. I have never used soft icing before so that was an adventure. Took me about 4 hours to ice the damn thing. PMSL. And I now have green and red hands.

Brandon is still AWOL, I know that he is alive atleast. My niece has seen him so have someof his friends. Unforunately as soon as we get to where he was he has left. Little b@stard told my niece he wasn't going to come today. Real nice. He is supposed to be one of Abbey's God Fathers. Not sure if he's doing it to punish me or what. I started a thread a while ago about him. Might do a full update in there when I get a chance.

Abbey has been ok, has been sleeping pretty good over night. from 10 til 9 on Friday night and 10 til just now Saturday night.

Better go and get ready. I hope to be back later with some pics and a proper post

[aussienic]

Trish: :hugs: I do hope Brandon turns up today for yours and Abbeys sake

I also hope it all goes well and you have a lovely day

Haroula: My passionfruit cake is a cooking.. Oh my the mixture tastes delicious. I can't wait to try the cooked version

Having a good day here.. Ethan has a Girl over lol. She came over Friday and they went for a walk. It has started.....

[kitten2b]

ok, the dreaded colds have found a way back into my house, Maria and I are both sick, DH is working in Brisbane agaijn this week, at least I will have my brother staying for another week

[aussienic]

Louise: Sorry to hear you guys are sick again.. I will blame this weather.. It has been cold here the last 2 days. I assume it is much cooler down your way?? Feel better soon

Haroula: O my that cake is delicious..

Will BBL miss just started crying

[alicia]

Trish - Hope it all went well today and that your monster cooking effort was appreciated I'm sure the pics will be gorgeous because you have 2 gorgeous girls there!

Nic - I haven't tried Haroula's cake yet, might this week. Although I had planned to start making some fudge easter eggs this week as a trial run for easter. I thought they might be a nice change to the regular chocolate kind and the recipe looks really easy.

Teena - Should we line up for Olivia's autograph yet? She looks very cute in the pic.

Not sure what is going on here (but afraid it is early teething might be part of it ). Olivia has woken during the night the last 2 nights (at about 3am both times) and today was really grizzly the whole day. She also pooed twice today which is totally unheard of, and they were both really big. Unfortunately we were out most of the day today and so the grizzling, and top of her voice screaming, happened in public for all to hear. Man some people looked at me like I was a monster
I am totally knackered now after a day at the Motor Show and then walking around the city with the unhappy bub. Early to bed hopefully

[kitten2b]

Alicia - I can tolerate and cope with an unhappy bubs at home, but when it is in public, it is just exhausting. Sofia was like that today whilst shopping.

[aussienic]

Alicia: I hope Olivia settles down a bit for you.. I find it really tiring when babies get upset in public. Although I will admit I have relaxed heaps on this with Olivia. I know there is nothing I can do and everyone else can go to buggery or help

Actually the other day I was in the post office and Miss O was having a minor spaz attack and Iw as trying to write on a parcel and this lovely older lady came up and said would you like some help. I don't think I could have passed Olivia over any faster Now mind you I wouldn't normally just hand my children over to a stranger but I felt comfortable with it and she stood next to me :P

oh and how exciting is this.. Olivia has pooed twice in the last 3 days and I haven't even known it was poo day Now this might not sound like anything important but to us it is. no screaming all day just to pass a bm..

now all my darlings are in bed.. Simon on night shift.. what to do??

[kitten2b]

I'd say a nice cuppa and a piece of passionfruit cake

[aussienic]

I had a cup of tea and vegemite on toast but had run out of butter GRR but still tasted good...

Good night here.. Olivia slept 8 to 3:45 (seriously what is it with that hour ) but i just took her to bed with me and we semi went back to sleep till 7

been out walking and home agin by 9:30

Now watching Greys from last night didn't pay attention to it last night

[Harri]

Hi ladies!

Glad you enjoyed the cake Nic!!

hey... i'll try and find some time to do the beetroot one!

Yesterday was an interesting day here! Chrissie ate LOTS..well more than normal BUT NO SLEEP!! what's with that!?!?! She slept well at night though! 9pm-4am! WOOHOOO Now i wish she would go 10pm-6am now THAT would be awesome! LOL hehehe


hope all the bubs are better today! I think Chrissie has a little cold, as her nose sounds a bit congested...poor darling!

xxx

[aussienic]

Seriously what is it about 4am!!! Baby's sleep longer then 4a,.. PLEASE!!

I would settle for 9-5 I think 5am suits me cus then I could get up feed the miss. and hopefully she would either go back to bed or play happily while I had my morning coffee and checked my emails (morn routine) Then the boys would wake and my day would start with fresh eyes not blurry ones

Olivia looks so darn adorable today . She has one a gorgeous white long sleeved shirt and 3/4 denim pants and the shirt has brown and pink hearts and flowers. Just gorgeous
