Hi Everyone, wooooo, there was lots to catch up on. Happy New Year!
Buzzie - excellent work re the letter. It will be so good when Rob's parents ask him for an explanation. Ash has the best laugh and you can't help but laugh with him. Good news on the walking.
MoM - good news on the walking as well. Monique isn't very confident just yet but we can let her go and she will stand but then realises we don't have hold of her and she sits down.
Bek - you will be fine on Tuesday but I know exactly how you feel. Can't wait to hear all about it.
Adkins - how exciting building a house.
I can't believe all the teeth the babies have. Monique only has the two bottom, half a top one and the other top tooth just popping out. We have had lots of grief with the top teeth coming through.
Well done to all the other bubs walking or almost there. Plus all the other achievements like clapping - woohoo.
I have forgotten all the pages of posts now (sorry baby brain).
Tinsel - both my kids have cut all their teeth fairly promptly, and both cut a lot all at once. Very rarely did they cut only one tooth at a time. But my mum said my brother didn't have a tooth in his head until after 1 yr old LOL. Don't know when I got my teeth, should ask her.
I wonder if the fact that my kids had all their teeth like this is why they're such good eaters? Kayla can chomp down on anything and I don't have to worry now that she has 4 chomping teeth at the back. I do still have to remind her to chew sometimes! But she manages just about everything now. I finally let her have her own bowl of food the other day (grapes cut in half, and then some pasta), expecting her to tip it all over, but she did well, just took a couple of pieces of food out at a time. Normally I hand her her food to hold & eat. So yay, I don't have to do that anymore! I still do spoon feed her occasionally but cut it quite roughly so it's like she's taken a bite of something. That way I know she's actually eating something and not just playing with it LOL.
Well, I should get back to cleaning. Got the IL's coming over tonight. And we need to clear up the garage a bit and the area out the back in preparation for our party next week! I bought all the ingredients for the train cake yesterday, and some face paints and stuff. I'm quite excited! hehe.
Have any of you got Amber teething necklaces for your bubs ? I just ordered one for Abbey. Hoping it works, cos at $40 it's not the cheapest thing. Could have got her a charm for her Pandora instead! lol.
LoriRae, woohoo on Ty clapping, clever boy he is. See, Playschool does teach them things.
Bek, your scan will go just fine huni. Can't wait to hear all about it though. Us clucky girls can just live through you preg ones!
Nic, isn't it always the way that when you go to bed late they sleep. Abbey is still waking atleast 3 times a night. No matter what time she goes down.
Hoody, sorry to hear about your migraines huni. They really are the worst. Thankfully I don't get them too often.
Susan, woohoo for Keiran. Clever man he is. Sorry to hear that poor Tiger is unwell though, it's hard when your kids are sick. As I'm sure you know only too well
Adkins, Ohhh how exciting building your own home. I wish!
Lauren, huni as you wait for that call. Do as Nic says and ignore it until you are ready to speak with him. Did you include your phone number on the letter to his parents so they can call you if they want ?
Poor Abbey jammed her fingers in the back sliding door yesterday. right below her nails, the door even latched shut! Finger's went a bit purple but seem ok now.
She's getting alot more game with her walking too, taking more steps and letting go alot more.
Lori – woohoo on ttc #2! That’s fantastic! I still haven’t decided if and when we will be going for round 2, I’d like to get a bit of decent sleep first lol And woohoo on Ty learning to clap!! They are so cute when they learn something new.
Susan – yay for your clever little man taking a few steps, he’ll be off in no time! How is Tiger? Hope he is doing better.
Lauren – I still can’t believe Rob never told his parents, and his excuse of he didn’t want to ruin his brother and sister’s news is pathetic… oh well you’ve posted the letter now, that’s all you can do. How do you feel? I’d think it would be a huge weight lifted off your shoulders!
Hoody – that’s great losing 3kg already! Hope Molly isn’t too bad for you with the teething. Good luck with the specialist, make sure you let us know how you go.
Nic – glad the “s” word is getting better for you, Jake seems to have gone backwards again but I think that it has something to do with his teeth, poor little mite.
Tinsel – we only have 6 teeth here at he moment, but there are 2 others that I can see coming through and DH seems to think he saw a molar there last night… what the?? I thought they came through when they were 2!!
Liz – Jake fed himself last night for the first time, well sort of. I’d put the potato on his fork, give it to him expecting it to be everywhere and he popped it straight in his mouth and gave me the fork back for more lol. Now I just have to let him have the bowl too!
Trish – I’d be interested to know how the teething necklace goes, not sure how they work? Poor Abbey jamming her finger in the door, Jake did that a few weeks ago and it left a dent in his finger for a few days, hope she’s ok!
Well I’d better get back to the housework, making the most of it while Jake has his sleep, although he’s been helping me this morning changing the sheets and hanging out the washing… or running off with it lol!
Adkins - yes it is a huge weight lifted off. but if i think about it i feel very sick in the stomach from nerves. - i think its just the fact of waiting for the unknown..A little like being pregnant the first time LOL
Nic - Yay on the sleep. I dont think i can even remember a night i slept that long.... *sigh*
Trish - nope, no number. I didnt want them ringing me incase i wasnt prepared for it. i just gave them my email addy.
I meant to ask you, how do you deal with Abbey being a squealer? Ash is going nuttso.. and found to quickly shut him up i needed a shock factor and was tapping his hand, i NOT a smacker but nothing else was working. BUT he caught on very quickly and when mum does it he smacks back... when i saw that i was blown away and told her we are never doing that again - i dont want him thinking its ok to smack!
so now ive revolted to blowing in his mouth LOL he hates it but even tho ive done it 100 times, he still gets a shock lol. what do u do?? i cant wait for this phase to be over!!!
Ash is becoming such a little chatter box these days its soo cute. Says up, down (does actions with his hands) says round and round and round when i put his food in the microwave. on and off when we are in the car and the lights turn on and off lol and my absolute FAV!... "Oh O' ! when he crashes toys or drops something he says "Oh O" - this morning he was in the bath and slipped, it was just a little one as i caught him, and he sits up and says "Oh O" i cracked up laughing!
I just love this age!!
Girls - I have been out of the BB forum for months now due to full time work and raising my DD and with her birthday being four days be\fore xmas and all the family catchs up before xmas to do.
I have had a quick skim and and hoping to contribute more as from what I have read everyone is doing great and has provided much support for all on here.
I was just wanting feedback from those who have had their 12 mth needles - hope many needles are there 2 or three? The Doctor I saw was unsure when I asked even though she has an 18mth old herself. I am booked in for DD needles with my regular DR in a week and it has just been playing on my mind.
Has anyones littlies had any adverse reactions? Has any one decided not to have them just yet or have them one by one over a period of time?
This is reallyplaying on my mind and I just can't get it out of my mind.
Kts - Ash had his yesterday. He seems to be fine so far. Barely cried at all after it.
The MMR usually take a week or so for reactions to kick in if there are going to be any.
I was very happy for Ash to have these ones, especially now there saying measles made a come back a few months ago... how ever the nurse was saying there not fully covered till they have had the second dose at 4yrs old i think it was??
It 3 needles at this stage - MMR, Meningococcal C and Hib
I personally wouldnt take Ash to someone who didnt know which needles were supposed to be given, sound sussy to me!
Buzzie- WTG on posting the letter. A friend of mine got pg and things didnt work out with the guy. He NEVER told his parents. On her DS's 1st birthday she looked his parents up (she'd never met them) and she called them. They organised to meet with her, her parents and her ds's dad- their son. The meeting went well BUT since then they have had NO contact. She is ok with this as she knows she did the right thing. Anyway what i am getting at is no matter what the outcome you should be so proud of yourself to know that you have done the right thing :hugs: Hope you hear from them Mon.
Well finally feeling a bit better today. Took the kids to the Zoo and Molly was so good i couldnt have asked for her to be better
Hi all,
Aghh Ty is being so whingy today, I think it's the teeth.
Trish- No I haven't got an amber thingy for Ty but a friend suggested one to me not long ago, they are supposed to be fantastic. Let me know if it works pls?
Hoody- How was the zoo? We took Ty to the aquarium the other day and he just loved it
kts- Yep, like Lauren said, 3 needles- I think they do one in each leg and one in the arm, is that right? Haven't got Ty's yet, he always get a bit whingy afterward and I wnated to wait until after Xmas so I didn't have to deal with whingy baby and whingy rellos all at once I think we'll go next week... I want to get him done before I go back to work at the hospital. If you're worried about them, there are some fantastic threads on BB about vaccinations.
Tinsel- Ty's back teeth have just errupted lately, but the good news is they bothered him much less than the top ones. Poor Monique, I hope she cuts them all soon.
Liz and Janine- Howdy Ty is kinda feeding himself from a suction bowl that sticks to the tray. We work with three spoons and he feeds himself yoghurt or very soggy Weetbix. But I sit with a spoon too and pop in big mouthfuls while I can, or it takes forever... but ti is the only way to get him to eat off a spoon.
We went to thetrash and treasure markets this morning. Bloody hot but I picked up a really cool FP ball tower toy for Ty for $5. Not that I need anymore toys here... I just can't walk past a bargain
hi everyone
well havent had any phone calls or msgs yet. Now im kinda wishing i did get something just so i know they have read it! Im thinking he might msg me tonight. unless his parents think its crap and throw it in the bin thinking nothing of it.. lol i dunno.
Ash has his orientation this morning, i stayed with him and he just loved it there which was great! lots of smiles. Tomorrow they said come in the morning and there happy for me to stay for lunch so he can sit with the other kids and eat. thats so nice of them. I will leave himon his own for a bit too, see how he goes.
I know he liked it there, but we were only there for an hour.. im worried a full day, hes gonna try to look for me...(well,.. maybe??)
Anyways ash has just gone to sleep., off to enjoy some quiet time!! His new bed is up but waiting for the sheets to dry! so hope he sleeps in it!!
Lauren: I hope things go smoothly with Robs parents.. Have you had much to do with them? Sorry I can't remember from previous posts.. are they nice enough people?
Lori: Toddler beds are great.. I never wanted one as I thought they were a waste of money but we got one for Jacob due to lack of space and I just loved it.. not long packed it away actually and Jacob is now in a big big bed.. Am thinking of moving Livi to one at 18 months..
had a pretty stinky night. Olivia woke up just as I was dropping off to sleep *sigh* then I attempted to get her to go back to bed in her own bed but alas wasn't to be.. she ended up in bed with us.. Makes us sleep bad when she is in our bed.. but not to worry.. one bad night is ok
Was going to go for a walk this morning but Isaac is having one of his dizzy days.. He tried his new medication the other day but he spent half an hour over the toilet because it made him so nauseous. yesterday when he got the dizzies he said please mummy don't give me that yucky medicine again so its back to the Drs for something else I think.. oh and yes it worked.. it stopped the onset of the headache almost instantly but he got dizzy again 4 hours later fell asleep and woke up feeling great..
oh and the medicine is so expensive.. not that it bothers me cus if it helps I will pay anything. Its $24.30 for 2 doses and Simon accidently wasted a dose eek lol.. and there are only 2 doses in a box..
Lori- Wow looks like your little fellow is on the move too,ay! Kieren takes a few steps here & there but just plonks down on his bum again,he thinks it`s a game,lol. Is the weather hot enough for you? 39 deg,today again.....Sigh....
Nic- Hi,What`s up with with Jacob,hun? I must have missed alot of posts,is he alright? Medication is always exspensive these days,ay!!!
Bek- Hope your scan went well for you,Iam sure everything be be fine.
adkins- I don`t think you ever get a good nights sleep once you have the rug rats come along,lol.
Trish- Have you use that teething ring yet,Kieren can`t stand them,he likes a cool face washer,lol, cheaper for dear old mum.
Tincel- Hi how are you going,your new profile pic on f/book is lovely.
Buzzie- Hi how are you,sounds like you have alot going on in your life,hope everything works out well for you and Ash.
Well,the heat is killing me,went swimming earlly today,but the kids are so bored,you know how it is,that`s why i hate school holidays.lol.
Tiger`s Croup is under control,so he`s well on the mend,his Steroid medicine is making him eat like a bloody horse though,so he`s been eating fruit & healthy stuff.
If i have missed anyone hello to you all,it`s really hard to remember everything thats going on,iykwim.......lol. I can blame the weather!!!!!! Cheers Susan.

Hiya susan. Jacob has a headcold but it is Isaac who gets migraines and needs medication for it. He seems all good today so yay
I am feeling like a terrible mum right now.. The boys went outside in the shade this morning and I had left the sunscream in the car so thought they should be alright in the shade.. Then this afternoon once again out the back in the shade they went out with a friend.. then they wanted to go out the front so I said yeh and was out there watching them.. I didn't even think of the time.. it was 2:30. they have come in now after playing with the hose and water guns and both are sunburnt I feel so bad.. I just thought they would be ok. Its not the first time though unfortunatly but the first time at this time of the day iykwim?
Well done on being so brave.. I really hope they open thier arms wide for Asher and you
but got 6 hours straight sleep so feel pretty good today
- i think its just the fact of waiting for the unknown..A little like being pregnant the first time LOL
I think we'll go next week... I want to get him done before I go back to work at the hospital. If you're worried about them, there are some fantastic threads on BB about vaccinations.
I can blame the weather!!!!!! 
Cheers Susan.
