Just wanted to say goodnight.. Had a decent day afternoon and night.. Olivia has laughed and laughed so much today.. Was so cute!

Dh back to work tomorrow He has only worked 2 days in 18 so we are going to feel it now he is back into 4 days on 4 off.. I love holidays...

Night All

[Liz]

Night Nic! I might head off to bed shortly too.. now that I've watched my crappy Tues night programs (Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares & Ladette to Lady) LOL.

How cute with the laughing.

Kayla has taken to sucking in her lips and chomping on them.. she looks like a toothless old woman LOL!

[aussienic]

hehe on crappy tv.. I watch all Saints.. I hate it but need to watch the silly thing each week...

haha at Kayla sucking.. Olivia looked like that the other day and she was just staring at us.. was so funny..

Olivia slept through again 7:30 till 5.. She isn't feeding how I would like.. Just having a few little drinks.. She ios happy though. I just looked over at her and she did have her play gym over her properly but now it is sideways and she is under the side lifting it up and kicking it.

Liz - i was watching the same that ladette show is a crackup.

Nic - Great to hear Olivia is starting to give you some decent nights...with DH back at work that'll be a huge help.

Jas08 - Thanks for asking...we all appear to be just about over it all (touch wood *hand on my head*) How cute is Ethan!
LoriRae - hope it doesn't cause you too much bother.

Well Vicky is now making "mum" sounds my little angel. She had started to wake around 10pm so silly me stayed up until 10.30 last night nope not a sound little ratbag slept until 1.30am. At least she then slept til 6.30.

[jas08]

morgan - yay to vicky making mum noises - best first word to say.
aussienic - good on olivia for having a big sleep. as for her not drinking how much you want - just keep an eye on her you will know if she isnt getting what she needs she would be a whole new baby.
liz - kayla might be getting teeth and helping them come threw.
well i am off to the hospital soon. yay i cant wait - not! i am tired of blood tests and the rest of it. Am due today to go in for my monthly check after my blood test to see how it is all going and it is suppose to be nearly clearing up. Only i get a phone call from my doctor saying that the results are abnormal - what does that mean? So i am not looking forward to my appointment at all. Wish me luck girls i dont like the tablets and was hoping to come off them soon. Gotta run and get ready

[morgan78]

Hope everything turns out to be ok for you will be on msg tonight so let me know

[Buzzie]

I know girls do most thing before boys, but i just realised its all the girls saying "MUM"
-Com'on Ashie..."mum mum mum"!!!!

good luck Jas hope everything goes well for u.

Ashs cold is so bad today poor little man.... god bless nurofen, hes never been this upset before.

Anyone else got a walker yet..... Ash has started standing in his now.. i cant believe it.. he stands right up not leaning on anything just holding onto his toys!! hehe
And hes always up on his knees trying to crawl now yippie! he wants to go soo bad... not long to go i dont think!

Im considering telling my boss today i wont be coming back from maternity leave.. ahhh hes gonna go spaz!

[Liz]

Kayla has done mama sounds when she's in full whinge mode LOL... but I don't really count it

[Lolli]

Hi all,
Wish Ty was making mum sounds... his favorite at the moment ig 'g-wah'. I'm sure it means something to him but I have yet to figure out what...
Lauren- I'm working myself up to tell my boss i'm not coming back full time either.... he won't be happy. Crossing my fingers that he'll let me stay on one day a week. I honestly thought I'd go back but I couldn't stand the thought of putting Ty in daycare now I've got him. Especially not after that story on the news last night with the little girl who got locked in. Did anyone see that?? Scary.
Nic- Yay!! On the big sleeps... wish Ty would do that *sigh* Maye olivia just having a few easy eating days> Ty does that sometimes too.
Jas- Crossing fingers for you, hope it turns out ok.
I've got two stitches under my arm. Hurts a little but not too bad... bad enough to stop me from playing netball but the weather is so crap, it makes a good excuse. However Ty rolled over this morning to have a feed and grabbed my stitches in his hand... OUCH!!!!
Hmmm that's all to report here. Wish the rain would let up though... missing my walks around the block...

[Buzzie]

OMG lori i didnt hear about the child care.. the poor little thing! how scary. i dont trust child care either.. but i know its just unavoidable for some mums.
Ouch about the stitches... gotta love the little hands grabbing u.. they always know just where to grab best!! lol

[Lolli]

Yep was pretty bad.. dad went collect her and doors locked, lights out, place shut up. Called the cops and when they got in the little girl was asleep in a cot... they hadn't done a final check and had all just gone home for the night. Little one is fine but her mum is understanably totally traumatised *shudder* must have been so horrible for all of them.

[Buzzie]

is anyone using cloth nappies at night!
Im sooooooo over these leaky nappies.! i was told cloth are good for night.. anyone got opinons on that??
Ive even resulted to junior size nappies at night to hold it all in... this past week ive had 2 leaks every night!! which means 2 outfit changes and 2 bed sheet changes.....rrrrhhhhhhhhhhh frustrated as here!
i dont know what to do as junior nappies are the last size!!!!!!!!!!! and i definately dont want to wake him up to keep changing him... i guess thats one negative of sleeping through the night.. hey.. cant win them all ...

[aussienic]

Afternoon all..

LoriRae: good to hear the stitches aren't to painful... or at least they weren't till Ty pulled them lol..

Lauren: Full time disposable mama here So can't help I'm afraid

Not much to report for the day. Ethan did well at sports carnival.. only saw him briefly though as he has gone to footy now.. I am missing so much at the moment I had my friends daughter all day though so she was able to go to sports day and enjoy it. Our sons are in the same class.. anyways.. This girl has the highest pitched scream.. omg.. I had to pull her up and Say No more screaming.. Jacob was taking something off her but omg scream much Each time I pulled her up she would say ok and then scream again She is 4 months younger then Jacob..

I did achieve some stuff today though.. isaac and jacob now have a clean room.. *nic dances around the clean room without falling over toys *

Now I better go put my chicken in the oven..

[morgan78]

oh just love those "screamers"
I just put chook in the oven - curried whats yours Nic?
Well Done to Ethan

[Liz]

We havent' been in cloth for a little while now. I just wasn't keeping up with the washing - they just don't dry in winter I absolutely HATE buying sposies tho Such a waste of money. I keep meaning to put Kayla in cloth again, but if there's sposies here, I use em! And we decided to have Tallon in sposies now until he's trained.. which is slowly happening. I'm not really consistent enough LOL. I spose if I stuck him in undies I'd HAVE to be consistent. Pullups cater to my laziness as much as his!

I did find that Bamboo Baby Beehinds were the only ones that would last all night. I had to boost them for Tallon, but not for Kayla.

[aussienic]

morgan: Just plain old roast chicken tonight Was pretty delish actually.

Liz: Tallon will get it eventually He is only just over 2. My friends daughter who was here today was 2 in December and she isn't trained or anywhere near it.. Ick for the poo i got today though but hey they all get it eventually...

I'm tired! I haven't even bathed the kids yet *sigh* I thought I would wait till Simon got home from work.. but once he did he mucked about doing things and is only just in the shower now agh.. I wanted the kids in bed by 7,, I think I can still do it lol.. Oh and Olivia went to bed WAY to early for my liking.. 6. I am so hoping she wakes up soon..

[Jus]

Oh my goodness.
When did this move so fast???? I'm 4 pages behind. Will try to do my homework tomorrow & catch up with you all... he he he...
Feeling happy tonight. had a 1.5 hour nap with dd (when I thought she wasn't going to sleep at all) what a lovely surprise. Should really go to bed before this blissful feeling wears off.

[Jus]

nappies ...
hey, we like the tots bots fluffies for overnight (tho I must confess, Ella's been in sposies o/night mostly lately - long story). They soak up heaps & don't leak, and if I'm really keen she goes in wool soaker (MIL knitted) or fleece soaker or a bbh wool cover. I just don't get how they work, but they do
Sorry if I've missed something crucial in that topic ...
