Bekz- Hope the ms eases up. I think Lauren's right- maybe a boy this time? And happy anniversary.
Liz- Can't keep socks on Ty either. But he doesn't seem to feel the cold much so it's ok.
Nic- Too cute Ty loves the water too, bath time is a big favorite here (although not last night- poor baby bumped his head on the tap and got an egg).
Off to do all my grocery shopping today, we have no food in the house. But I soooo can't be bothered. Ty was up at 5am again but has been pretty good the last couple of nights- 4 hour stretches and went straight to sleep after a feed. Am so tired *yawn*. Feeling your pain Nic
Still trying to convince dh we want another baby now. He wants to wait till Ty is two but that seems like a long time away...
Bekz - sorry to hear you've got the dreaded ms,I think the other girls are right, it may just be a blue one this time
Well I got 5 hour sleep last night, averaging 4-5 and it's starting to take its toll on me, I am so forgetful and going to work 3 days a week is exhausting! I feel for you other ladies in the same boat.
Well I'm off to get my car serviced and hit the shops while i wait, I'm not looking forward to that as this time of the year is crazy at the shops!
I'll catch you guys later this afternoon, have a great day!!
Lori - tell DH to have bubs now. Our theory is that if we have them close together then we are already used to having no sleep and have the "pain" at the same time. A friend was telling me that the hardest thing for her was getting used to sleeping through again and then having another bub. On the plus side of having a gap between, the first one may be close to toilet trained and can walk everywhere.
Nic - that is a good sleep. Monique slept really well last night (up briefly at 1am and 5am) but I had trouble sleeping We had a really big storm come through at about 4am for an hour and I didn't sleep much through that time. Then I was hot and cold all night.
adkins - welcome back.
Bek - happy anniversary. Did you get up to much? The all day sickness sucks doesn't it. I have to get something in my tummy at all times or I get sick really quickly. Good to see you in our BB thread too.
Liz - Monique is the same. She always tries to put things on her head and she tried to put her socks and shoes back on the other day. It is so cute to watch our little sponges copying everything.
Buzzie - Thanks for the birthday list. You are very organised. Getting excited for your interview?
Alicia - Monique says nana too and LOVES her bananas. She gets super excited when she sees me peel one for her and it is gone in no time.
I am busy organising Monique's birthday party and as my family will all be in town, I am organising a christmas lunch the next day. I don't know where I'm going to find the time to do all the baking and preparation but I'm sure I'll get there. We are going to tell our families that Monique will be a big sister at her party but I don't have my ultrasound until the week after. My iron levels are borderline so need to take another supplement but I suspected that might be the case. The next few weeks are busy. Have a good day everyone.
Lori: Olivia is always standing in the bath.. We give her 3 chances then shes out lol.. tough ones we are.. We have already had one child split their chin in the bath I can't handle that again..
Adkins: The lack of sleep really does take its toll doesn't it.. funnily enough 5 hours makes me feel on top of the world
Tinsel: you sure are keen. I hope you find the time to get everything done and it goes off without a hitch
Hello everyone Sorry i've been MIA for the last 3 days but i've been soooo busy I am working 4 days this week (well evening/nights) So during the day i have been knackered and had lots to do. I tell ya i am too good to DH. I am working this evening from 4pm - 10pm so i have already been food shopping, made & dished up the girls dinner (jsut needs reheating at tea time), bathed both girls, laid out their pj's for him, Made him some pin wheels for a snack when he comes home and his dinner is in the slow cooker. Am i the only MAD one who babies my DH when he has to look after the kids I think i'm digging myself a whole but TBH if things arent done for him everything would fall apart. Last night i did the same shift 4pm-10pm and he FORGOT to give Molly dinner Needless to say i was awoken by a hungry bub at 5am this morning. Mind you i dont know how he forgot it was right next to DD1's in the fridge and labelled. Because of our early morning Molly's sleeps are out of wack today so she is a little cranky. I have left her outside in her baby swing and she is for now talking happily to herself. (i can see her from the comp) Well i am off to fold the washing etc b4 i have to get organised to go. I will try and pop back in after work or tomo morning depending on how tired i am to do personals
Tinsel - congrats on your pregnancy too, how is everything going?
Nic - she looks like a sleeping angel, what a beautiful girl!
Hoody - my goodness, where do you find the time? You must be super organised! I wish I could do that but Jake seems to need constant attention and I only just get through making dinner each night before a tantrum starts, let alone being able to do all the other housework, that has to wait til DH gets home so he can entertain him while I finish off the housework!
Does anyone else have a high maintenance child?? lol
What has everyone got planned for 1st birthday parties (or what did you do if it's already passed!)?
We're having a party with family and friends at home for bout 30 people, probably a bbq. It's a lunch time thing as we have our work xmas party the same night, and Jake is having his first sleepover at nan's (I warned her he doesn't sleep he he). We're staying in the city that night and I can't wait!
Hmmm, that reminds me I must order Mr Jake's cake, I'm not much of a baker. What kind of cake are you all having? Aargh, so many questions!!
Adkins- I am a very organised person to the point where DH thinks i have OCD tendancies I literally cant sit still if there are things to be done iykwim. For Molly's birthday we had a party at home starting at 2pm so it didnt interupt her sleep. We had about 20kids plus 20 or so adults. We did lots of snacky foods such as home made sausage rolls, basic sandwiches, fruit platter (a massive hit with the lil kids) and a basic sausage sizzle. We borrowed a friends bouncy castle for entertainment and basically just let the kids play. Most of them where too young for games etc. I did loot bags for when they were leaving which contained
A freddo
Bubbles
2 different sheets of stickers
A Balloon
5 natural confectionary lollies
A whistle blower thing
I tried to keep it fun but not all junk food iykwim. My gorgeous friend made my cake as my DD1 is anaphylactic to eggs so we (ok she) used an egg replacer. If you add me as a friend on FB i have lots of pics up from the day.
YAY Molly is having another sleep (she generally only has one now) she really needed it from our early start.
Wow hoody sounds like a great party!
I'll have to get on facebook, but our internet is do damn slow out here, we've just moved out of the city to a more country setting, I must do something about this! Oh, what's your name for facebook lol!
I wish Jake would have another sleep, he's only had half an hour today and is bouncing off the walls... oh well atleast he's happy!
