Lori - its so sad packing there clothes up for the next size, i know exactly how u feel! Im still can believe i have all 0's and starting to buy 1's already!!! i took 2 jumpers back yesterday that needed to be size 1 and it was so sad how big there were! i still have his 0000 even tho i think he only got to wear 2 outfits cos he was so big lol
Well had an exciting morning - Ash had professional photos done and they were absolutely gorgeous! im getting a huge canvas one of a set of 3 pics in the oldern day colour - not black and white but brown sort of, anyway he was sitting with this older style teddy that was the same size as him and it was one - him sitting both facing the camera, one him facing the teddy with his hand on it and the other was of there backs next to each other and omg it is sooooooooooooooo beautiful i almost cried!!! cant wait to get it!!!!! His eyes are sooo beautiful big and blue so i put him in blue clothes and the pics were just sensasional! i will have to scan then when i get them back to show everyone!
I really wanted to get this done asap cos i found out couple nights ago my grandfather whos in hospital is getting worse and worse, everything keeps failing and my grandmother even said she doesnt think hes going to come home from the hopspital! so my mum is going up there soon and i want to give them some pics, i dont know if ill get up there any time soon, so i hope i can before its too late!
Well better get packing i guess.... ahh crap..so cant be bothered!
Sorry I haven't been in for a few days. I actually read the posts and wanted to reply but I was so damn tired and hormonal. After a week of hell with sleep Loren finally had a good night and self settled a number of times....I so hope this continues.
I went pshyco yesterday and told DH I was leaving, then AF showed up. I really felt like an idiot after my explosion but after 5 nights with only 3 hours sleep per night I was done iykwim.
Much better today but DH is still scared of me LOL!!!!
My settling technique is working for Loren so I am to continue.
Nic - I hope you get a better night.
Lori - Glad to hear you guys are on the mend.
Trish - Hi stranger, good to hear from you.
Morgan - It is hard when DH goes away for work but you do get used to it. My DH only goes for a week at a time and I am ready for him to come back afer 7 days. Can you get a grandparent to do a day or two of relief for you?
Jus - Don't worry so much about the lack variety Ella is eating. Just keep re-introducing from time to time. If you are worried about variety for veg then mix it with friut or put it in another food she will eat. I struggled with my ils on certain issues as well, especially food!!! I stood my ground with them and did not comprimise and I think they have finally got it!!!
Buzzie - WTG on Ash's sleep. He is such a super baby!!! Sorry to hear about your granddad.
Where do I get the Raferty food from?
BTW Loren weighed in at 8.5kgs and is 72cms long!!! She is in the 95th percentile for weight and height..She doesn't look big to me but now I am worried that she is too big.
Hey Bekz, no wonder you were done! Doesn't hurt to put some fear into dh. Who knows, he might surprise you with something nice!
Rafferty's I just get from woolies/coles.
Same for the Sweet William lauren. in the organic section. If you're real desperate I'll send you some!!! he he he.
Bekz, what was your settling technique you were using again? WTG on the improvement.
No way is dd too big. if the weight & height match, then she's perfect. They need to put on as much weight as they can now cos when they're toddlers they can't consume enough in a day for what they expend. Ella's less than 10th percentile. That freaks me out a bit, but now that she's actually gaining weight i'm not going to stress. I think she's gotten chubbier in the last few weeks too.
Lauren, drooling over the sound of those photos. can't wait to see them...
Just have to jump in and say we've bought tickets to the Wiggles LMAO. The latest DVD we hired was a live in concert one, and both DH & I thought it looked like fun, so we bought some tickets. Unfortunately all the 'hot potato' seats are taken, so we'll be in the upper section of the entertainment centre, but I'm sure Tallon won't mind. He's not the type to get in the mosh-pit anyway LOL. The seats right in front of the stage don't look great anyway, coz they can't see the whole stage, and it'd be worse for the little kids. So yay! 20th December we're going to the wiggles!
Hi everyone
Lauren - So sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope you get a chance to see him. The photos sound adorable cant wait to see them.
Lori - Great news that Ty is on the mend and WOOHOO on the sleep. Even one night makes such a difference for us
Bek - at the explosion - at least you could blame AF I'm just a biatch lately. No hope of any support from grandparents as we have absolutely no family support here
Liz - Ah the Wiggles - You'll have a ball.
Jus - Great news that Ella's gaining weight.
Nic - Jacob stop mucking up at night - I hope he starts sleeping better soon for you so you can make the most of Olivia's lovely sleeping.
Well we took Vicky out of the baby capsule today and put her forward facing in a car seat...she had the biggest smile the whole ride and no screaming - Yipee! but my little girl is growing up so fast. We went and laybyed the kids "big" christmas pressie today at Target - A toy kitchen - Alex was so upset that we didn't take it home today just have to wait kiddo.
Thank you for all your kind words and reassurance's I think im actually looking forward to a little break from DP as he is just driving me insane *sigh*. I got a bit of a practice run tonight as he is out at a concert so I had to bath & bed the kids - no problems but then after I had cooked tea (homemade pizzas) for all of us plus his mate & his GF I was left to also clean up....good thing DP isn't home til tomorrow.
Well have a lovely Sunday everyone
Jus - Sounds like our bubs are at either end of the height and weight sectrum....would be funny to see of pic of them together hey!! I am not using any particular settling technique. I actually took your approach and decided to do it my way or by instict iykwim. Therefore I have decided to keep a simple routine of cuddling Loren until she is really settled, then put her in the cot (whilst still half awake) and settle her by sitting beside the cot with one hand on her until she is asleep. If I here her stir I am trying to settling her by sitting next to the cot or I pick her up and put her down when settled. For some reasong this is working and she has even settled herself quite a few times over night....You never know this maybe a turning point but tonight could be back to normal.
Liz - WTG on the Wiggles concert. I want to take Sara if I can. Wiggles are the :band" of the moment for us.
YAY Liz!! Another Wiggles fan! I brought tickets for Ash for is birthday, and we got upper section too, i brought them 4 days after going on sale and all 8 concerts were sold out on lower levels i hope Ash will like it from there. We're going on the 16th Dec - Kids under 12months are free..so got him in with just a week to go! woot!!! hehe
Last night was SO much better. worked out why Jacob was waking so much the night before. The Bl@@dy cough mixture I bought had pseudoephergine (sp) in it (speed basically) and it can cause sleeplessness I asked for a non drowsy one so I guess I got that.. It stopped the cough though but we got a worse nights sleep.. He slept well last night with no coughing. He just fell out of bed a few times.. *sigh*
Olivia slept great. only woke the once 2am I think. I was swaying with tiredness so I don't know We went to inlaws for Birthday BBQ as it was FIL birthday yesterday. I was so tired I ended up pushing Simon out the door saying Lets go We had Reef and Beef and it was delish..
and we have tooth number 3. eye tooth number one is through, so we have two bottom and one top..
Today we have a BBQ Birthday Party for Ethans Birthday which is wednesday (and SImons which is Monday I have a cake for both but Simon doesn't know that everyone is celebrating his Bday today too )
so my mum is going up there soon and i want to give them some pics, i dont know if ill get up there any time soon, so i hope i can before its too late!
The photos sound adorable cant wait to see them.
