oops... here I was thinking noone was psoting, where is evryone.... new thread would be athe answer.
Sorry, I've missed a bit Yay on your little pink bundle Bekz, glad the scan went well.
Lauren- No answers here hun , I can't get Ty to eat meat at all.
Nic- Woot on winning the prize, I love winning stuff
Hi Alicia, Janine, and anyone I've missed!
Nothing at all much going on here... I'm booked for a massage in 3 hours, my mum is babysitting yay!! Ty is being pretty good *touch wood* even though he is still cutting teeth. Dh seems to have a serious attitude problem lately, don't know what is going on there...
Anyways, hope you're all doing very well. I'll be back in lots now I know this thread is here
Good morning!
Man I hate it when I'm away from bb for a few days, I can't catch up on all the chatter! So sorry but limited personals until I get back into the swing of things lol
Lauren - no answers re the meat either, Jake isn't a great meat eater but will have mince in spag bog or sheppards pie. Hoping Rob's parents are back soon so you atleast know they've read the letter. Glad to hear Ash is getting better at abc too!
Lori - half your luck on the massage!! Hope you have a fantastic time! This weekend I'm going to a beauty salon for a make up consult to get the correct colours for my skin etc, was a xmas present from DH along with a couple of hundred dollars to buy everything I need woohoo! I'm so looking forward to that! If I had more time I'd plan your wedding for you, I loved planning mine and stayed under a budget of around $6k which I was happy with as they can be so expensive!
Anyway, hopefully I'll catch up on everything soon, hi to all you other lovely ladies!!
Have a great day

Buzzie - I haven't seen Grey's for ages either. I like Brothers and Sisters which is coming back in Feb. We pretty much have to record anything we want to watch these days. I'm off to the Australian Open Tennis in less than 2 weeks and can't wait.
Lori - I know exactly how you feel about trying to organise the wedding. DH was so stressed about it that we ended up getting married in Scotland with 8 friends and travelled around. Was lovely. My DH had a bad attitude last week and it was because he was back at work. He is much better after we go on our little neighbourhood walk when he gets home and he has a vent. I'm in the reply bit so can't see your Avi but will check her out when I hit submit.
adkins - the makeup consult sounds great. I have always wanted to do that.
Monique woke up about midnight last night but then slept until 8.50am - that is the first time in 7 months that she has slept that long without waking - woohoo. However I was awake at 4am anticipating her waking up as that is her usual wake up time at the moment. Her sleep patterns through the night are getting so much better I just hope she continues to sleep through.
Lori - We had a lovely wedding with just close family (16 people) at a really nice hotel in the city (The Windsor). They had a wedding coordinator so basically I just had to book the private room then they kept me on schedule for organising stuff. It was very hassel free and it was much cheaper than we were expecting. Also after the dinner we just had to head upstairs to our room.
Tinsel - Will you be down in Melbourne long? We should have a meet up.
Adkins - i love a good spoiling. Enjoy the pampering.
I am off to the movies tonight with a friend. We are going to see a 'Girls Night Out' showing of Bride Wars. The price included movie ticket, glass of bubbly and a goodie bag, I am really looking forward to it.
Alicia - unfortunately it is going to be a whirlwind trip for me. I am flying in on the Saturday with 3 of my sisters and then we are spending the whole day/night at the tennis and will be back again on the Sunday and then flying back home on the Monday. I start work on the Tuesday after having 14 months off
If I had more time (and Monique) I would love to catch up with the Melbourne mums.
Your wedding sounded really lovely. Have a great time at the movies.
Tinsel - woohoo on all that sleep, we had a good night too after I finally got the little monster to bed at 10pm after trying for 2 hours! The tennis sounds great too, bummer you don't have more time over there. How are you feeling about returning to work?
Alicia - enjoy the movies tonight you lucky duck!
Is bb crashing for everyone else today? Every time i try to get on it says database error and have only been able to get on a couple of times today for a couple of minutes!
I've just posted this on another thread but was wondering what you all get up to with your bubs during the day? It's gonna be 43 here tomorrow (aargh!) and I really hate going out in the heat but don't know what to do to keep the 2 of us occupied for a whole day! Any ideas?
Ladies- Glad you are all doing well. SOrry lack of personals but about to head out the door to go to my MIL's for dinner. Dont know how that happened considering DH is OS's but anyway. Molly has her specialist appt tomo i am really nervous but cant wait at the same time so i will at least know where we go from here iykwim. Take care and i'll BBL tomo to update.
Janine- We normally go outside, we've got a sandpit and a paddling pool (and a cat for Ty to follow around). But if we're stuck inside, I highly recomend getting the cushions of the lounge and the pillows off the bed and making a baby obstacle course to crawl around on. Ty loves it and it wears him out real good A sheet to play parachute type games with (like you did in primary school?) is good too.
Alicia- Oooh a goody bag let us know what you get You're wedding sounds lovely but dh wants every man and his dog there we've agreed on 50 ppl That seems huge to me...
Tinsel- Wooot ont he sleep, I am sooo jealous (not of the you waking up bit but, that sux!)
Lori - Love your avi. Organising a wedding can be stressful and expensive....my advice do what you want not what you think others want!!!!!
Tinsel - yey on Moniques sleep!!
Adkins - A paddle pool is a must!!!! I add coloured balls to our pool and Loren loves transferring the pools from the pool to me..of course she says ta for reach ball. Put on a nursery rhyme CD and do the actions..pretend you are hosting playschool. In the late arvo go for a walk just to get out.
Miss Loren had her needles today. She actually cried more when the nurse was doing her measurements. She is suffering serious stranger issues atm. She is 10kgs and 80cms, exactly the same as Sara at the same age.
Bek: yay on butterflies. HOw many weeks are you now? I felt Jacob (my 3rd) at 13 weeks I swear I felt something at 10 but wasn't 100% sure... but definetly at 13.
Lori: How nice to have a massage.. Not sure if I would feel comfortable with a stranger but would love one from Simon won't complain he rubs my sore foot most nights. Glad your Dp didn't want to talk about anything to serious. hope you smacked the side of his head for worrying you all day
Hoody: Hope dinner went well.. Where is your Dh at the moment? What does he do OS? How long is he gone for?
Adkins: With Olivia we just play little games and talk or she plays with her toys. Most of the time she plays with the boys though lol. I guess I have it a little easier.. When I just had Ethan we would go to the park or to the beach or we would play under the sprinkler. read books, colour in. I used to do playdough with Ethan but I didn't once I had more kids. Olivia would just eat it so I will wait till she is a bit older. She loves to colour in and loves those doodle things you know the ones where you draw and slide the thingy across to clear the drawing?
Alicia: What a lovely sounding wedding.. I bet it was just perfect
Tinsel: Hope you have fun at the tennis.
Hi to everyone else.. Lauren congrats on your walker
Olivia went on the trampoline yesterday afternoon and she finally worked out what to do and you should have seen the grin on her face lol.. so cute! Life is getting so easy now.. with sleep and a child that walks and easy to cart places..
Does anyone sit thier bubs on the toilet at all? Every now and then when I remember I pop her on the big toilet before her bath.. I certainly don't expect anything but its just to familarise her with it kwim? Last night was so funny. Simon was bathing her and jacob and he yelled I need your help Olivia had pooed everywhere in the bath,, oh boy did I laugh and laugh.. He was like oooohh im gunna vomit. I said oh be a big boy and went back to washing the dishes.. Damnit was funny..
anyways my princess has decided to crack the poops cus I won't let her play with the remotes and now she is screaming at me.. she is good at chucking tantrums I tell ya..
Bek - Congratulations on the little butterflies! I remember when I was pregnant I wasn't sure for ages about what I was feeling in there, but I guess by your third you know what to expect.
Lori - The goodie bags were quite good - shampoo and conditioner, lip gloss, tanning moisturiser, hair spray, chocolate and tampons!?!? Well I guess it was advertised as a girls night out
Hoody - I hope the appointment goes well.
Adkins - We usually play in the sandpit (it is in the shade), go in the paddling pool, read books, sing or just play with Olivia's toys. We got a Fisher Price Kitchen a little while ago and Olivia can play in it for ages, so we 'cook' together on her little stove. Although at the moment she is trying to get under the couch (she has no hope)
Nic - We haven't quite tried drawing yet (thinking about trying today), but we did try finger paint which Olivia just liked throwing rather than painting with
Hi to everyone else
Quick question out of curiousity - Just how chatting are your bubs? Olivia talks ALL the time at home. She gets quite loud and insisted and is definately trying to tell us things lots of the time. But she also talks loudly to her toys and books. She is especially loud when she is 'reading'.
Nic- I do kinda feel sorry for Jacob, poor kid Clever Olivia, bouncing and colouring in, I'm so impressed!! I was too releived to slap the man tbh... I was picturing something so bad, it was nice to know it was actually nothing. Glad the sleep is getting easier for you too, that's good I wish Ty was walking- it would be a bit easier to go places if he could walk around and cause havoc when he's restless, rather than just screaming in the pram or wacking me to put him on the floor. It's one thing to see a kid walking around, but I juts can't put him on the floor at Big W to crawl around ykwim?
Bekz- Woot on the butterflies, that is so super exciting... only 25 weeks to go
We had a record sleep here last night- none hours straight, from 7pm till 4am. And I went to bed at ten, so I got six. Feel so good today, especially after that massage.
Our swimming lessons start again today. We had a new teacher for our last week last year and she wasn't very good, I'm hoping we don't have the same one permanentley.
Hope everyone is good
ETA- Hi Alicia Ty has started getting very chatty lately... I'm sure he thinks we can understand exactly what he says, he's so insistent on some things...
Alicia: Olivia is very loud too . and if the boys do something that peeves her off boy oh boy does she scream.. Actually a little funny.. yesterday in the car we obviously weren't paying enough attention to her and she screamed so loud we were all a little deaf for a few seconds but then she grinned and did it again..
Lori: yeh I don't let crawling babies down either. Olivia likes to get down and then she pretends she is going to walk our way then she stops and takes off in the other direction laughing her head off.. So much fun (for now)
