Babies Born December 2007 #20

We have a treadmill but it needs a new mat... MIL got a great bargain on one the other week.. I wish we had found it before her :lol:

Hi everyone & bubs.
Just got to be quick our 2 year old is mucking up really bad bacause the eldest kids went to Nanna`s place for a couple of days,and he misses them,but he`s now picking on his little brother wont share his toy trucks and cars,I?m so sick of his behaviour of late.
aussienic and Hoody,hope your littles one give you a break soon. get well.
got to go now,god these kids are ****ting me today....lol.:wall:

:hug: MoM I hope he settles down soon

Olivia seems a little better this afternoon.. She hasn't had panadol since last night.. won't sleep though.. Well thats a lie she has had a couple but not long ones to catch up,,

ah we had a heaps better night.. she still woke at 12:30 but she slept till 6 :) I woke a few times but only cus I was sleeping with a constant moving 3 yr old and a little heater named Olivia,,

I have started using the AC at night to take the humidity out of the air and I think we are all sleeping better for it

AUssienic- Glad to hear you had a better night. I hope tonight is even better still :)

Bek- WTG on the weight loss. I wish i could get under the 70kg mark. I seem to be stuck at about 72kg mind you i havent tried too hard to shift the weight. I am not overly happy with my size but for 2 kids i keep telling myself i'm not too bad i could be worse. I am lucky i am tall so i can carry a bit more weight than some.

MoM- I hope the kids are giving you a break and things are well.

Trish- OMG 3hrs of sleep in 52hrs .............I dont think i'd be functioning at all. I hope the birth went well though.

Well things are ok in the house of Hoods. I have been feeling like a lousy Mama as i left my girls last night with my MIL even though they werent well. I had a hens night to go to and told MIL i was gonna give it a miss as i didnt want to leave the girls but she was adament that i should go and she'd be fine. MIL spends most weekends alone as FIL works shift work and the girls are her life. They were of course ok for her but i still feel rotten. Molly hasnt been sick since yesterday arvo and is eating and drinking again like normal. She still has the runs and is sleeping lots more in the day but i am thinking she is def on the mend. DD1 is still battling her cold but is ok. Made me laugh this arvo she was trying to squeal but her voice is almost gone and nothing would come out she got so upset and of course didnt understand why it wouldnt work. She kept repeating my noisy is gone in her husky voice. 5 more sleeps til DH comes home and i cant wait. :dance:

Hope everyone else had a good weekend.

Hi all,
I've missed a bit...

Hoody- Glad the girls are a bit better, poor babies. I went out Friday and Saturday night... have a bit of mum guilt. Left Ty with my mum on Friday and he screamed and screamed :( And he's normally really good for my mum.

Nic- Go the AC I reckon. The heat has dissapeared down here, it's cold again.

Trish- OMG, and I thought I was sleep deprived.

MoM- Hope your day got much better.

Not much happening here... Ty has a big googy egg (to pinch Ni'cs phrase) on the back of his head. I tell you, I leave him with dh for 3 hours and look what happens. Another tooth coming too, which I think explains why he has been constantly whinging for the last 4 days *sigh*
Hope you all enjoy your public holiday :)

Aww poor Ty.. googy eggs hurt! hope that tooth comes through quick...

I got 6.5 hours completely uninterruped sleep :hooray: Olivia slept in her bed all night...

Aggghhhhh My boys are driving me mental today! First day back to school.. fought with Ethan too much this morning and then a whole kapoffle :lol: with getting to school.. but we have all settled down now.. Olivia finally napping.. Took ages to get her to sleep. She was whiny and crying and kept wanting to be picked up put down picked up put down (see pattern) I lay down on the (emergency) matress we have set up in the lounge thanks to the previous bad nights and thats where she is now.. trying to keep the other boys quiet is tough though..

ETA: hoody.. Don't feel worried about leaving the kidlets.. you probably really needed the break too :)

Hey girls. Not even going to try to catch up on the lost sleep. Lost is where it remains. I have had a couple of early nights though.

Poor Abbey has a cold again. We all seem to have it, this hacking cough and snotty nose. She is rattling like a steam train atm.

DP has taken Noah and Tehya away camping for a few days. They left about an hour or so ago. Abbey is in bed and I am finally sitting down with a cuppa. Shame the big boys are still around to annoy me.

Nic, woohoo on the sleep hun. Lucky you. We still have another week of holidays yet. Can't say that it has been too bad really. I sure don't miss having to run around in the morning and then the afternoon pick up.

Hoody, don't feel bad hun, mummy's need time out too. Sorry to hear your girls have been sick too. There is so much of it going around atm I think.

Bek, good on you on the weight loss too hun. I am so needing to shift this last bit of pregnancy weight. Was 61kgs when I fell preg, hoping to get back to that atleast, I am hanging around 67kgs now. What have you been doing to help you loose it. Scarey when I think about it. I got down to 47kgs after Joel. That's a whole 20kgs less than I am now. I am 5 foot 7, so you know I was wayyyyy too thin.

LoriRae, ouchie on Ty's googy, poor little man. This is where the fun times start once they are mobile. All of our bubbas are going to end up with an egg on their head at one time or the other.

Have been busy running around. Went and saw my client at home last night and had some new baby snuggles. He weighs pretty much the same as Abbey did, but he looks so tiny. Funny how fast we forget their size.

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. Well what is left of it.

Well I have had a crud of a day :( Olivia screamed and screamed till she finally fell asleep at midday.. I haven't had such a screamy day for ages..

Trish: aww on the baby snuggles.. oh how I miss that lol..

anyways simon home with bread for lunch lol.. We ran out.. and I am starving.. I haven't had anything to eat today *blush*

Hoody - I sat on 72kgs for ages, then I sat just above 70kgs until last week. Don't feel guilty about leaving your kids. It sounded like you really needed a break. Instead of feeling guilty just tell yourself that you are taking time to regroup and that you'll be a better mum for it:)...Now I wish I could get someone to take mine cherbubs so that I can regroup.

Trish - WOw on the 52 hours shift...Sounds like you are a good weight for your height. 67kgs is my next goal, I would be wrapped with that. Although I was 65kgs before Sara so I guess that is my ulitmate goal. I am 5'7 too!!! I don't lose weight easily. In the last six o weeks I have been hitting the treadmil. I started doing 30 mins 4 times a week. No weight lost. Then I cut out my evening biscuits and chocolate. A little weight was lost. Then I got the ****s with it, so now I am doing 35 to 45 mins on the tready 5/6 days per week, eating almost no sugar, no carbs at night and having a meal replacement at lunch. If this does not work then I am getting a surgeon..only kidding can't affoard that:)

I need to strap a monitor to Sara is measure how many times a day this kid says "mummy". I swear I can be sitting playing with her (seems this is all I can do these days) and looking her in the eye and the word is vomited out of her mouth...mummy, mummy, mummmmmmmyy...it is driving me nuts. She is up my bum all day. I have even tried doing heaps of activity with her but the more I do the more she wants....

Sorry for the rant, maybe I am just hormonal atm.

Lori - Loren has her fair share of bumps over the last few months. BTW DH's never look after them the way we do...I have learnt to turn a blind eye at some of DH's methods, I prefer him to look after them when I need it...hmmmm where is he?????

Lol: Bek at the mummy ALL day long.. It gets infuriating doesn't it

Well Olivia slept 3 hours yesterday after a mammoth screaming fit! She was soooo happy all afternoon. She even said Mum Mum Mum and I got it on video.. I was so excited.. She keeps saying it too which is soooo cute!

then last night UGH.. Went to bed around 8 and woke at 11:30 and was awake till after 1am.. Grrr. She woke up about 10 mins after i went to bed.. I was so pinged off..

but she is happy this morining.. Oh and she did the funniest thing yesterday.. I was holding her and Simon gave me a kiss.. And as usual she makes kissy sounds too so of course we keep givng little kisses and she kisses back but yesterday for some reason she stopped with a funny look on her face.. Looked at me, at daddy at me, at daddy then she slapped my face .. omg it was just so funny.. I did say don't hit mummy but couldn't stop laughing

Hey girls. Sorry, feel like I've been MIA for a while now!

hehe at mummy mummy mummy. If I say mum mum mum to kayla she quite defiantly yells out dad dad dad! Tallon's even started saying to her "not dada.. mumma!" LMAO. DH rolls his eyes and asks what I'm teaching our boy. hehe. She still only says mum when she's crying :(

Well, last night was a little better than the previous 2. Kayla was up crying and crying for 2 nights. It was sooooo tiring. And we were down at my bro's in canberra for one of the nights, woke up the household I think.. and coz Tallon was on the floor next to us, he woke up and cried too. Man, I was soooo tired LOL. i think I can definitely attribute these horrible nights to me drinking tea. I had normal tea whilst at my bros, coz he doesn't have decaf, and lo and behold.. bad bad nights. She's also a little constipated, just doing rock hard pebbles, so yesterday she only had one solids meal, bit of fruit, and lots of boob. Hopefully that'll help flush things out a bit!

We had a nice time in canberra.. the cousins got to play together, and we went to floriade, so that was a nice walk. I'm gonna pull the photos off the camera, will upload some to facebook soon :)

We have decided that we're going to start camping. I used to camp (rough camping too!) years and years ago, and I loved it.. and once you've got some gear, it's such a cheap holiday, so we're going to get ourselves setup to start camping. Nic - I'll have to get some tips off you on how you keep an eye on your kids around the fire and water! We're probably going to be doing posh camping to start with, at holiday parks etc, until we get ourselves setup properly. But now that I'm a mum, I'm not sure I can be bothered with rough camping.. I like the idea of having power & running water LOL. Anyway, i'm very excited about it all :)

Ok off to play with photos. Chat later! :)

Hi all,
Just a quick one. Ty is either coming down with something or his tooth is really bothering him coz he's not very well, poor little chop. Woke up with a fever at 3am and has not been well since.

Liz- Camping, you and Nic are brave women, I don't think I could do it... but I'm a bit of a snob and hate roughing it. Ty doe sthe same as kayla- I say mumummum and he goes dadadada!!

Nic- That is very cute, with Olivia slapping you.These babies seem to just get the funniest ideas in their little heads :)

Bekz- I'm impressed, with you cutting out the choc, sugar and carbs. You're a stronger woman than I!! But I have been pretty lucky- I'm 5"2' and about 50 kilos, which is what i was before I got pregnant. The wieght literally fell off me as soon as he was born (I think the bf'ing helped).

Trish- Awwww newborn snuggles :) Ty's godmum had a bubs not long ago and it was lovely having a cuddle. You forget so quickly how tiny and light and good smelling they were :)

I'm off to do a speech in a couple of hours- I'm being guest speaker for my granny's View Club, talking about my job. I'm a bit scared! Wish me luck :)
