Babies Born December 2007 #22

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 :lol:

Tinsel: you sure are keen. I hope you find the time to get everything done and it goes off without a hitch :)

Just thought I would come back and share yet another pic of Olivia :lol: I couldn't upload it to the gallery though so I hope its ok to link it to here Image of Olivia aged 1 year 1 week and 1 day - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting I took the pic cus I thought she looked super cute...

Well better go again.. Olivia is trying to stand on everything and I swear she is going to fall over

Tinsel- That's my theory too. Dh doesn't agree. Oh well. Would be nice to have Ty a bit more independant first- walking would be a good start!

Nic- Aw, that pic is so precious. She looks so peaceful.

Grocery shopping done, fruit cut up and vegies steaming. Going to have a cup of tea. Guarenteed Ty will wake up the second i turn the kettle on..

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 :doh: 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 :wall: 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 :redface: 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!

happy birthday oliver

Nic - Olivia is such a little sweetie.! she looks very peaceful.

Adkins - I ordered Ashs cake too. Its costing me $120 and is only for a few ppl but its a wiggles cake, SOO cute. he loves the wiggles so i wanted it to be special for him.

Hoody - how terrible dh forget poor mollys dinner.. its always the things labeled and ready to go they miss!!
Mums hubby eats ALL of Ashs food even tho theres a big note on the fridge saying dont eat! derrrr!! gets me furious!!

Ash is offically a standing baby today..lol took him to playdays play centre and he kept pushing the rideons around then pushing them and standing still. got some great piccies.. what a cutie! wonder when the walking will happen now... :D

Hi Ladies,

I have sore throat and runny nose..poor me:( Man I am exhausted. I have done heaps of hair this week and cleaned my friends house. I am so glad it is Friday. 3 sleeps till my scan, and 7 sleeps till we go away...yey

I am hoping that this little from I am growing is a blue bundle:pray:

Buzzie - Goodluck for Monday!!!

Hoody - You are superman. Shame on DH for forgetting Molly's dinner

Adkins - We are having a family bbq for Loren's bday. I love making bday cakes so I will make Lorens. I am not sure what cake to make yet.

Is everyone ready for our party tomorrow?

Woohoo, clever boy Ash, standing up!
Jake's been standing on his own for about 2 weeks now, he took his first two steps last night, I couldn't believe it! He hasn't done it since though, but it was so cute!
I've been so slack uploading piccies, I really must get around to that too...
Lauren, what's the job you're going for? Good luck for Monday, I'm sure you'll be great!

Yes chat tomorrow, Ill be online first thing as i always turn lappy on when i get up and wen everyones on ill add them to my chat box so we dont have everyone all over the place in seperate boxes, so just log on to msn and wait for my add :)

Thanks adkins, im a Specialist dental nurse, this job for paediatric dentistry, something i have not yet done as i was previously more into the blood and guts surgery side of things, so very nervous as its working on babies to 18yrs and once a week in hospital under GA to the kiddies that are too frightened or cant sit still, going to be really sad, its heart breaking watching a baby be put under. I went to watch my niece done when she was one i think, or 2 cant remember, but it was sooooo sad seeing a tiny little body covered in tubes, little own being my own family!! - But i love my job so just gotta do what ya gotta do!
If i dont get this i think ill just find something more part time so i can spend more time with ash for one more year.

:happybirthday: Oliver !!, hope you have a lovely time. :partysmiley: :hooray:

Hi to everyone.

Nic- What an Angel,Olivia looks so peaceful. You have some lovely photos of Olivia,I wish we had another little girl,lol,even though they are hard work.:lol:

Hoody- Hi how are you & the family? You are superwoman,lol.I find the only way to get a job donr properly is do it yourself,lol. How`s the new job going? Catch up soon.

Buzzie- Ash will probably be taking off in the next couple of weeks,Kieren loves to push the kitchen chairs around,whilst standing up,he giggles as he does the rounds of the kitchen.At least it makes him tired iykwim.

Bek z- hope you are feeling better soon,I think Kieren could be coming down with the sniffles too,had a runny nose today,but our weather is crazy!

adkins_81- Hi I?m not sure if I have seen you on here,but just saying :hello:

I want to put our Chrissy Tree up now too,but DH said not now,it`s bad luck. :rolleyes: I can`t wait for Kieren to see the Tree all decorated with the coloured lights on,it`s more exciting this year at least I will be pain free,last year wasn`t so good after the C- Section,you all know what i mean.
Hope everyone & all the bubs are well. Looks like iam in for a grizzly night with Kieren,going to give him some Nuerofen. :wall:

Hi all,

Susan- Hi how are you? Dh won't let me put our tree up yet either. Is Keiran teething too? Ty's just got tooth #5 and #6 is on it's way through.

Lauren- I'll jump on tomorrow morning. I knwo this sounds ridiculous, but I'm hoping I don't forget! I've been such an airhead the last couple of days, my memory is terrible and I keep having :doh: moments. But I'm excited about opening Ty's pressie!

Adkins- I've got a bit of a high maintenance baby too, needs lot of attention. He's a bit better now he's crawling and can do his own thing, so I'm hoping he'll get less clingy again when he starts walking. That won't be for a while yet I don't think, thank goodness! :D We're just doing a b'day bbq here, about 20 people- only direct relatives and Ty's godparents. I have a few balloons and a banner I will throw up somewhere in the lounge room :) I am going to make a cake (actually have to start thinking about that, glad you reminded me) but *ahem* dh wants me to order a bakery one as well- he says it's better to have two and evrything be ok, rather than one burnt homemade one and a potential disaster :redface: obviously no faith in my cooking skills...

Hoody- lol my dh says I have OCD tendencies too but I'm nowhere near as organised as you! That's amazing.

I get a sleep in tomorrow morning, dh is getting up with Ty. I love weekends :)

Hi Lori, we are all fine thanks,just busy,like most at this time of year. I think Kieren could be cutting some more teeth,he`s been un well the last couple of day`s,maybe it`s our stupid weather too,he has the sniffles.
You are lucky to get a sleep in on the wekends,I can only dream,lol. hope you are well too,Lori. It`s very quiet here tonight.

I want to put up my Chrissy Tree..........dam DH,lol.Sigh........

Just a quick jump on... Can't remember if I said it earlier..

Olivia has a new word.... LUBOU (love you) and yes thats what she is saying.. Her dolly says it which is where i think she picked it up from plus we all say it to each other all the time. Clever little miss she is. very much the copy cat.. (proud mama)

Anyways I am so tired. been up since 4 .. Olivia didn't go down for the night till 9:30. and I really should be going soon too..

Chat to you (well some of you) on msn tomorrow.. Can't wait to let livi open her pressie :)

Have a great time at the 'party' everyone! Sorry we can't join you. It looks a bit grey here today, but no sign of rain on the weather radar so hopefully we will strike it lucky and get through lunch without a downpour.
Olivia's present didn't arrive here :-(

Morning all!!

Fingers crossed we get your rain Alicia :)

Semi decent night here. Olivia only woke the once at 3am and went right back to sleep till 6 ish

Chat at midday peoples

Alicia - Loren didn't get hers either. Maybe Monday
