Hi Everyone
Buzzie - You will get the job for sure. Good luck in your interview. How great that the centre is great and how cute is Ashie sitting with the kids. We have a wooden rocking horse that DH had when he was little. It was his sisters before that, then his brothers after him and then his two nieces so has been through the whole family. Monique loves it although it is a little big for her so need to hold her on it.
Nic - poor Olivia with needles. Am not looking forward to Monique's in 3 weeks. Olivia is so clever walking.
Hoody - that is so great that you have the girls in bed at 6.30pm. Monique has been very difficult to settle and up all through the night. The second bottom tooth is coming through. Your sister is lucky to get all your baby stuff. I packed away all the clothes that are too small now.
Alicia - the present sounds lovely. I've not seen one before so might google it to see.
Lori - how cute is Ty and wonderful that you are enjoying him. Monique doesn't really like the indoor play centres but hopefully she will when she is bigger so she can wear herself out.
Michelle - Hope everything goes well on 3 Dec.
Monique is being so clingy at the moment and wants to be cuddled to sleep at all hours of the night. She is moving around the furniture really well now but still screams so I can hold her hands to sit back down

Hi all,
Lauren-
Hoody and Nic- I can't do jammie days, I just can't. Makes me misearble. First thing I do in the morning is get dressed. Hoosy your MIL sounds like a bit of a nightmare...
Tinsel- How are you feeling hun? We've got clingy baby vibes here too
Teena- Nice to see you back
Not too much going on here. We've got a swimming lesson today. I'm being a very good FlyBaby ans started wrapping my Chrissie presents last night. Anyone else considering putting their Xmas tree in the playpen? We hardly ever use the playpen for Ty and we've got he portacot set up if we need one, so i think I might put the tree int he playpen to keep Ty off it. Dh won't let me put it up till Dec 1st so only a week to go (in case you can't tell, I'm excited... I loooove Xmas)
Registered User
Lori, we are going to put the tree behind a barrier so Olivia can't destroy it. I think it will save my sanity too as I won't have to constantly say 'NO' all th time. I am putting off doing our tree until after Olivia's birthday on the 4th. We have decided that will be our new tradition - tree goes up the weekend after Olivia's birthday. I wan ther to feel like her birthday and Christmas are seperate things. My BIL has a December birthday and he always said he felt like his birthday wasn't special, though his family are more than a little weird...
Registered User
LOL - Lori i had to laugh.. I m soooo excited for chrissy too, and ive been hunting for our tree but mums hubby left it at the old house so i brought one yesterday and im NOT allowed to put it up till the 1st Dec ALSO!! LOL ahhhhnot happy hehe
Yes, using our playpen here too! ill take it down when he wakes chrissy day to get to the presents then put it back again i think - it usually stays up till FEB!! PML! -maybe not a good idea this yr.
Its VERY exciting i get chrissy this year. Last yr because of the c/sect I sat in hospital all alone on christmas while all my family had a big breaky, lunch and dinner together! Most of the ward was empty too cos everyone had gone home too but i was way to fresh from the surgery to go home!! So yay cant wait this year!!
Registered User
Lauren - I agree I am excitied too. Last year I was discharged Christmas eve but I really wasn't well enough to enjoy Christmas (in fact I don't really remember lots of it, I was on too many drugs). So this year feels like our first proper family Christmas.
Registered User
Well as some of you know, I already have the tree up! My SIL had hers up on the weekend and looked fantastic so I was motivated. DH agreed which was unusual. I was going to put it in the playpen too but so far Monique hasn't touched it. She checked it out when I was putting it up and hasn't gone near it since. She points and smiles at it which is lovely and I must admit I haven't put all the decorations on it yet (it is 7.5 feet high and I'm only decorating above Monique's height just in case). I will barricade it off though if she gets too interested in it.
We were discharged from hospital on Xmas eve as well and went to SIL's house with everyone which was lovely but didn't feel like Christmas. Buzzie, I forgot you were still in hossy on xmas day. It will be so special for you this year - and us because the little ones can enjoy it.
Buzzie - did you ge the santa pic done? I don't think Monique will like Santa esp because she is so clingy.
Teena - hello! nice to see you again. I'm glad Monique isn't the only one that has popped teeth through late (or in your case not yet). It's funny because people comment that she is a slow developer but I'm glad she hasn't had teeth while still bf esp when she went through a biting phase for over a month.
Lori - how do you find swimming lessons? I'm undecided on when to send Monique. You are a good little Flybaby. I wrapped all my nieces and nephews presents and have that all done but I have only got one present for Monique so far and none for her birthday. Better get a move on I think before all the crowds hit the shops.
Best get dinner started.

Speaking of teeth - Ash cut his first top tooth today, so we have 1/2 a bottom one, 1/4 of a botton one, and a 1/8 of a little one lol looks so funny.
Tinsel - i think it would be great to start the swimming. Ash is booked in for next yr, i cant wait!! . might take him tomorrow i think.
brought him a rubber ring so he can sit on his own

Like I said on msn.. no biting yet
oh I don't do many.. I get to hot.. if I do stay in them its usually to clean lol
Aww this made me sad.. I wish they had taken Xmas to you..
Hi to everyone else
We went to the CHN nurse today about Olivia's weight. at 9 months on thier scales she weighed 8.5kg and today she weighed 8.6. give or take a few grams. so she has only gained 90 grams in 3 months. We have to try to get her to eat more and sleep more and go back in a month for reweigh.. She has always been sitting at the 25th percentile and now she is sitting at 10 for weight but still 25 for height and head.. It isn't a major concern as the CHN said but something to keep an eye on..
Anyways dinner time here so better go..

Hi all,
Just a quick one...
I had the entire family here for Xmas last year, with a two week old baby. It was a nightmare. All i wanted to do was curl up and sleep. Hoping we'll be more relaxed next year.
Tinsel- Ty loves swimming classes, he's been going for a good six months now. He gets so excited. The centre we go to is great too- I used to go to a different one but it was not very well heated and Ty kept getting sick. But it is good fun and he can 'swim' up from about 30 cms away by himself.
Nic- Ty has hardly gained any weight in the last three months either- about 150 gms I think. I'm going to take him this week and get him weighed. He is the 25th for head and height and goes between 10th and 25th for weight too. but he seems healthy enough so I don't worry about it. i think he must burn off a lot of energy and calories cruising around crawling.
Ok I'm off to actually talk to dh for a bit
Registered User
Hang on Lori, you mean I am meant to talk to dh!?!?!?
Registered User
Lori: In the last 3 months she has only gained 90 grams which is why I think they are midly concerned.. I am ok with it but we are trialing a new sleep thing.. god it is so hard.. I went and had a bath and left sImon to deal.. We did the Controlled crying.. I feel like the worlds meanest mum
She doesn't eat.. I never realised just how little she ate till I had to write it down.. sigh.. She isn't hungry though so I don't see how we are going to get 5 meals a day into her
Well off to watch some Heroes.. seriously need to catch up.. This is technically our last night of simon on holidays.. Tomorrow night we will go to bed early yada yada..

Nic - Sofia is the same, a small eater and such a little bubba.

Nic, Abbey is only around 9kgs too hun. Going to have her weighed on Friday. Some babies gain at a different rate, she is a little girl so more likely to be more petite than her brothers. Also bare in mind that she is walking, and I know it's just started but nonetheless she is more active. I'm not sure what you are supposed to be doing regarding her sleep, did the Dr suggest the CC ? I would think that all the extra crying would actually burn more calories on her. (if only that worked for me) Not trying to make you feel bad of course hun. Just trying to see the angle.
Lauren, good luck with the job interview hun. I wish you all the best.
I can't believe that when I wake in the morning my baby is going to be 1!! Where has the last 12 months gone. It has seriously been huge for me. So many ups and sooooooo many downs. I am hoping that the next 12 are so much more positive. I think Abbey was pretty much the only good thing to come out of this last year.
Posting my birthday pressie tomorrow. So my person, fear not yours is coming. Still waiting on Abbey's though.
Sorry girls keeping it short. It's late and Abbey is still having shocking nights.

Trish: I have been thinking about Miss Abbey and the BIG 1 today.. Can't believe we are almost onto our 4th 1st birthday..
I don't know how I feel about leaving Livi to cry.. Almost every part of me says no don't do it and I think I need to listen to it.. but I don't know.. Can someone just come and do it for me.. she is only little for such a short time and I know I will feel guuilty down the track thinking would one more cuddle really hurt..
sigh!! lol
louise: I know deep down Livi is fine but it is just worrying for me that she is barely gaining anything.
the CHN gave me a pamphlet on CC and how to go about it for different ages.. I feel so bad about how she went to sleep and feel like going in and giving her a great big hug
