Thanks everyone. I will update later after scan but i am supposed to work this evening from 4-10. The girl i work for is amazing and more like a friend so i let her know and if theres a prob i can take the shift off. Just keeping everything crossed the bleeding stops, the US comes back ok and bubs can stay put for a few more wks at least. The hardest part is waiting but i know she is in good hands with her DF and my mum with her at the hosy.
Wow lots of big stuff going on!!
Janine- Yay :confetti: That is awesome!! I'm a little bit jealous ;)
Susan- Ahhh 15 year olds... sounds like he needs a good kick up the bum.
Hoody- Big :hug: for you. Crossing my fingers everything will be ok for your sis. Let us know.
Lauren- it's a pity the date didn't work out hun, but maybe for the best if he's not what you're looking for for Ash.
Argh, Ty is just driving me mental at the moment. Won't sleep without a fight, then up at 4am wanting to play :rolleyes: so tired.... but I'm taking the day off tomorrow to go to the markets with a mate, so that should be good.
Buzzie - Sorry your date didn't go to plan.
Lori - Loren is ferral the last couple of days. It was a nigtmare getting her to sleep last night and she is chucking tanties all the time. I think it maybe her teeth and the heat.
Jas08 - My scan is booked for the 16th of Feb.
I joined FB today!!! Still don't know how it works but I am getting there.
Add me if you like Bekz- my email is lori_rae_is@live.com (go to 'find friends' in the 'friends' menu, scroll down the page to the search by email address box- JIC you didn't knwo, it took me ages to figure out how to do that! ;) ):
Oh me too Lori.. Took me ages to work out how to find people :lol:
Add me Bek if you like Nicolle Heikkinen.. or pm me your name if you want :)
Forgot to tell you something cute (for now) that Olivia did today. While shopping we walked past shoes and she was yelling at me to go closer so I then had to try shoes on her lol.. seriously she was happy then.. Then we walked down the boy clothes aisle and she was just looking around and when we went down the girls clothes she started yelling and grabbing at the dresses.. AND then I was saying to Isaac I needed to buy Olivia her own pink back pack (she loves wearing Jacobs thomas one) and when we were looking she kept yelling at me (not in a bad way just a communication way) so in the end I bought her 2 little cabbage patch dolls :lol: they are so cute.. one for each hand :lol: I am the worlds biggest softy.. and I got her the cutest shirt that says "whats not to love" Thats what SImon always says to me hehehe.. I had to have it..
anyways enough of my rambing.. How is everyone tonight??
Lori and Nic - Hopefully I have added you both correctly. Thanks Lori for the directions.
Loren had her first haircut today. She hated it.
Nic - Me thinks Olivia may cost you alot of money in years to come
Hoody I hope all goes well with the scan, it must be so nerve racking just waiting.... Huge hugs to you and your dear sister.....
Nic your Olivia sounds like a little princess....My Olivia loves to clean up, today she put away my shirt in my draw it was so cute, she also has this toy vaccum that was brought for birthday she pushes it around the house and it plays this song "I am going to clean the floor today" and she loves it...
Lauren sorry to hear your date wasnt as a great as you had hoped..... Hugs....
Hi to everyone else...
oh what a day, not sure how the single mummies do it every day but DH has been away for 9 days now nad is back tomorrow and I am totally over it. Doesn't help that it got to 42 degrees here today, couldn't go outside, had heaps of baths/showers with the girls but as soon as we got out it was just as sticky again, thankfully cool change hit about 6 and girls are finally asleep. Sofia has definitely found her voice in demanding things. Oh and I have my university reunion (college I lived at is turning 40) and there is a ball, and I found a evening dress, more ****tail length than full length for $39 - bargain - Maria said I looked very pretty.
Louise: Aww how sweet of Maria.. :) 42 degrees.. UGH.. Its so sticky here to but not that hot.. Sending you guys some cooler weather.. I don't how you cope with so many days in a row with it that hot.. I would be going mental..
Teena: How cute.. I am still debating getting my miss a vacuum cleaner.. I thought about it but then felt like I was gender conditioning :lol: Hello pink and purple clothes only allowed hehe.. She likes my vacuum anyways so its all good.. Teach her with the big one..
Bek: Have you on FB now :)
We have had a week of over 40 and only getting hotte...Suprisinly coping well:p
hi to everyone,
and congrats to those who are expecting.
Not much happening over this side except its really hot. I so cant wait for winter!
Mirani has top back teeth coming thru atm and has bad nappy rash. She has just learnt to say 'oi' and 'squishy sqaush'.
Re bottles- mirani's only having maybe one or two a day and ive put her onto cows milk as well. Tia and alisha both self weaned from 14 to 18 months. So she shouldnt be too bad.
Boob lumps- my grandma had a lump removed a couple a years ago that was bigger than first thought. They thought it was around golf ball size but turned out to be lemon sized. Luckily it was harmless. Fingers crossed everything is ok for you.
Cant wait until the kids go back to school. I still have to get heaps of stuff for them but they go back on the 2/2.
Anyway, take care everyone.
bekz and lori - and even easier way to find ppl is on every page in the top right hand corner is a search box, you can types a persons name or email address into it and it will find it... dont need to go to find friends..... :D
Bekz - what email adress have you used, i tried to find you? u can find me if you type in lauren sanders or buzzandash@hotmail.com - Ash has his own too, ur welcome to add him as i put all his photos there not on mine, his email account is asher07@live.com.au or Asher sanders.
Hi to everyone, im gonna go get ready for the day, Im starting to feel really sick here too, got a sore throat and praying it wont turn to toncil litis as it always does. Got a nice cold to go with it and poor Ashies getting one too! :(
Ohh i decided last night (well ive wanted to for a loooong time) to do a photography course at tafe... Im so excited except for the fact its 630pm-9.30pm monday nights for 5 weeks! :( thats gonna be hard on ash. But i really LOVE photos and would love to one day take photos of women in labour and having there babies.....just SO beautiful!
I would love to do a photography course too.. my problem is I find it hard to take pics of other people and thier kids without feeling uncomfortable.. oh well I have 4 good subjects here :D
Hi Michelle.. Its been hot here too.. more humid then hot. It is steaming up already today...
kids annoying me already.. the house is a shicking mess.. I need to clean the floors (only done 2 days ago) I sweep and vac everyday but it seems to need mopping everyday now grrr. If only Olivia would let me get it done.. Or when I picked up the toys Jacob and Olivia wouldn't follow me and remess it all up..
yeh i dont know how i would feel taking other ppl but im obsessed with photos of ash. i think i got to about 2000 in his first year LOL
I think it would be good to go back to tafe anyways.. meet real people lol.... ;)
good luck with the cleaning nic, i can imagine it wouldnt stay that way for long... :(
are the kids good at tyding there own rooms yet? mum used to get a cleaner when we were young and she would tell her not to clean our rooms lol If something was on the floor the cleaner would chuck it all on our beds and vaccumm, that was it and we cleaned off the bed when we got home from school - mine usually just went back on the floor hehehe
I wish they would clean thier rooms.. lots of argueing this week here about the bedrooms.. Jacob is not to bad.. but he doesn't tend to play in his room.. The other 2 boy.. WOW I can't walk in there at the moment :( I am so fed up with it.. I walk in there and don't even know where to start
Buzzie - Have fun at your course. I am thinking of doing a sewing course. I have no idea how to sew and every now and then small jobs need doing. Plus miss Sara is liking to do dancing so I'll have to know how to sew outfits etc.
Nic- I have vacuumed and washed my floors most days this week. Loren is self feeding and makes such a mess. I have banned eating all over the place now and Sara only eats at the table, this seems to have worked. Have you thought of doing a rewards chart for the boys tiding up their rooms? I know Sara is only 3 but we have a 5 min chuck in the box clean up session most days. I either race her or we sing a clean up song..seems to work for now. Or you could tell the boys that any toys left out past a certain time will be put in the give away box!!! If they don't pick them up then take the box and hide it, pretend you've given their stuff away.
Re bottles - i have start weaning Loren off her bottles. The last few days she has had a sippy cup of milk through the day, but still has a night bottle. Like MOM I don't give bottles in bed either. Loren usually has a 7pm bottle then we brush her teeth and it is off to bed.
Louise - Good deal on the dress. I love a bargin. I am sure you'll look lovely.
Hi Teena and Michelle
Best go and get ready for my Step Mums bday lunch.
I will try it on again and get a picture when DH gets home tonight - tonight yay 10 days on my own is too long.
Big news - Fia just took 3 steps, but she is ready for a sleep so I hope to see more after she rests.
re boob lumps: a friend of ours found a lump while she was still bf and it turned out to be calcium deposits. Keep a positive mentality and remember, not all lumps are bad.
Lauren- Wow that is bizzarre, I was just lookign at photography course today!!
Argh Ty awake again BBL
Hi girls, sorry I have been MIA. Am in the process of changin over from Optuus to Telstra (regretting this decision) and stupidly Telstra told Optus to terminate my services, 2 weeks prior to the appt I have for them to come out and connect cable net for me!! Have been on the phone to telstra and they offered me free dial up until the beginning of Feb, of course it's not working for me. More phone calls back to telstra and it's still not sorted. Have pinched dads lappy for tonight to get a fix. Really need net access for any possible clients etc.
Hope everyone is going well and the Sydney girls are coping with this awful heat.
Have had a few issues going on here the last week and it's really not looking so good :( Oh well, I know that I can do it on my own, have done it before, just not with so many kids!!
SOrry for no personals, am tired and ready for bed. Hopefully I can update tomorrow. If not take care and I hope to get back on asap!
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY EVERYONE!!! Hope your all having a good day!! :D
Trish - sorry to hear ur having a crap time.. and with the net stuff.. i hate those companys so much! grh
Kitten - yay on sofia taking steps... hopefully shell get more confidence to keep going.
Lori - i think it would be a great course to do, even if i didnt go professional. just nice to do something bit different. and im really looking forward to meeting new people. I would love to do some more, but it just depends how thing go when i start working full time again.
Happy Aussie Day !
Trish: :hug: Sorry things aren't going so great..
Louise: yay on steps :)
Someone asked me last night how olivia was sleeping AARRGGHH they jinxed it.. :lol: She woke up just after 10 and was still tossing about till midnight.. I was so pinged :lol: Wasn't all bad though.. Was up playing scrabble with Teena on FB :lol: I am yet to beat her.. Shes good lol
Anyways.. I so should be cleaning.. Delightful inlaws coming down this afternoon but I am just going to do a fast surface clean.. Its super steamy this morning. Will turn the Ac's on soon.. just feel like some fresh air for a bit..
Nic - I hate that too. I make the mistake of saying to someone the other day that Olivia had been sleeping through really well and going ot bed really easily. So of course the last 3 nights have been screaming matches to get her to sleep :rolleyes: Ohhhh how do I play scrabble on FB? I love scrabble!
Trish - :hug: I hope things are not as bad as you think.
Lauren - Shame about the date, but I am sure it is still just great to get out on your own for a while.
Have a friend coming over today to watch America's Next Top Model - chicks day in!
Alicia: I will send you a link on FB :)
is anyone else's baby doing nothing but scream atm?
I understand that screaming and yelling is their only way of communication but its constantly and over everything and anything. But its driving me bonkers!
*hands up* I don't mind it so much when she is playing but the tantrums.. Oh My
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY EVERYONE!!!!

Hi susan and Hoody
Hoody: so glad to hear your sister is home and doing well.. Fingers crossed those bubbas (it was twins wasn't it? or am i off in planet somewhere else) lol stay put for a few more weeks yet
Fantastic to hear hoody, if shes on 2 weeks rest does that mean there going to deliver at 32 weeks?? or just needs 2 weeks of soild rest?
Very, very quiet in here..... hope that means everyone had a great Australia Day. We took Olivia to the Zoo on Saturday and she loved it :D She actually 'caught' a butterfly while it was sitting on my hat :doh:, I will add the picture to facebook, it was perfect timing with the camera. On Sunday we went on a car trivia thing with DH's car club, to be honest it was pretty ordinary, not what we were expecting but still it was a whole day together without baby, so that was nice. Yesterday a friend came over and we sat and watched the rest of the series of America's Next Top Model, while eating chips and chocolate, it was a very chick day in my lounge room :lol:
Hoody - Good news about your sister. She must have been so worried, I'm so glad the news was good.
Hi everyone,
Hoody- Glad to hear everything is ok with your sister,what a relief ay! How are you going?
Nic- Hi how are you?,looking forward to the kiddies going to school. I have Emily & Tiger off my hands tomorrow,but our eldest goes on Thursday,YAY!!!!:clap:
Buzzie- I like your new ticker,hun.Ash is growing up,little cutie.
Alicia- Sounds like you all had a lovely day out at the zoo. Sounds like a lovely pic of the Butterfly,Alicia.:D all kids love the a day out at the zoo,ay! Your so lucky that you & DH,could have some time away to get out,I would love to do that more often,lol.:rolleyes:
WE are going away on Friday for my Birthday this Saturday,DH wanted to take me back down the South Coast,as i love it there :dance: . Should be back by Monday.
It`s very quiet in here,we have had rain in Sydney,we are so lucky,I feel for everyone who has the heat wave headed their way. ok C ya!
Well I was a mummy of 2 for 6 hours today.. My little man started school today and I didn't cry :) He screamed when we left :( and I thought I was going to lose it but I as brave and more importanly he settled and had a great day and can't wait to go back :D Ethan settled in well too. When we got to the car Livi said bruver bruver (brother) I assume she was wondering where the boys were lol.. Half wa thru the day Jacob said. Mummy I miss my isaac.. lol. awww
Alicia - thats so cute with the butterfly. i hope she didnt squish it LOL
M of M - How wonderful, thats an awesome bday pressie! i hope u have fun!!
Nic thats fantastic!!! so glad to hear he was happy to go back.. what a big step for him !!!
Been at work today. I had to work at our other surgery so i had to leave really early and Ash was still asleep!!! I left him in bed with mum to look after him.. and i was so sad i didnt get to say good bye, but he was very good for mum and i was told he had a good day at ABC.
im wrecked.. time to go lie down for a bit..
Hi all,
Wow it is quiet in here! I have been trying to tear myself away from from the computer the last couple of days and get some stuff done... not easy ;)
Alicia- Awww that sounds so cute with the butterfly :D We took Ty and our dog down to the park for the celebrations, and Ty has his first ice cream cone. It was all over him and the stroller but he enjoyed it immensely :lol:
Nic- How cute- Jacob would miss him heaps, I spose that would take a bit of getting used to, after having him round all the time. But 6 hours with 2 kids, gotta love that ;)
Lauren- Yeah that's what I am thinking- just soemthing to do to get out of the house. I'm trying to organise the wedding for July so I think I'll do a course in something in the second half o fthe year. Photography is what I'm looking at atm, but we'll see.
Susan- :dance: Weather is finally a bit cooler and the bigger kids are at school you must be a bit more relaxed :)
Trish- :computer: Sorry to hear you'r ehaving troubles hun, unfortunately I know what that is like atm too.
I started a 'seniors' hip hop dance class last night. Me and my friends were the oldest there by about 10 years :lol: was good fun but I am so sore today...
And Mr Man still isn't walking, but getting very frustrated with crawling. He can walk but only if I am holding the back of his shirt! No balnce, poor kid (obviously gets that from his dad!)
Ok I am off to do some serious cleaning. I have my mum's group coming here tomorrow and the house is filthy!!
MoM - have a great trip. Sometimes a change of scenery is the best thing ever!
Nic - Awww :) I'm sure Jacob will soon adjust to being the 'big' brother at home - watch out Olivia!
Lori - Oh yeah, you are sooooooo old :lol:
I just posted some new pictures of Olivia on FB. The butterfly one is there :D Off to make some lunch now I think...
Hi guys,
Sorry I haven't been around, had to get my head straight. I started bleeding 2 days ago, so looks like another early m/c for me. I did another hpt this morning and the line was there but faint so not looking good. I'm ok, I still hadn't gotten my head around the whole being pregnant again thing, it was a huge shock and now it's been taken away from me I don't really know what to think.
Thanks for listening girls, and like I said I'll be fine!
Sorry for the lack of personals, I'll catch up sooner or later...
Oh my goodness. I have just read through 4 pages and so much is going on!
Hoody - I am so glad your sister is ok.
Adkins - OMG! Congratulations :leap: that would have been a bit of a surprise for you all.
Buzzie - That's great you went out on your date but not so great he didn't turn out to be a keeper. I'm sure you will have loads more dates. Get yourself out there girl!
Trish - sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch at the moment. Hope things look up soon.
Alicia - will have to check out your pics on FB. That sounds sooo cute.
Kitten - excellent work on your bargain dress buy.
MoM - how wonderful to be going to the coast for your birthday. Fingers crossed that there is nothing to worry about with your lumps.
Lori - I had a giggle with your 'seniors' hip hop class. Sounds cool and like a good workout.
Nic - well done on holding back on the tears for Isaac's big day at school. I would have lost it when I heard the screams.
Michelle - I hope the screaming stops soon. I know what you mean about going bonkers. Monique isn't doing it as much as she used to thank goodness.
I know I have missed lots of mummies so hi to everyone and I will catch up with you from now on.
Monique took 4 steps on Friday before I went to Melbourne it was so exciting. She now smiles at you and then takes a few steps. She has been walking lots between couches and other big things. So cute. I'm waiting for the day that she just takes off. She had her first day at childcare yesterday so DH and I spent the day with her which was really good to see how they operate (although it was their first day as well so a little bit of confusion here and there). The carers are lovely and great with the kids and the chef brings their snacks and lunch which looked delicious. I stayed with Monique for a couple of hours this morning and then said goodbye and I heard her cry when I opened the door to leave. I had tears welling up but held it together and left. It is weird because I'm home now but am expecting to hear her cry out from her room after a nap or something. I hope she is doing ok, I pick her up soon.
Melbourne was awesome and we had a really good time at the tennis. I feel for the Melbourne girls this week though with 40 degree temps all week - Yukko! We have high 30's which is gross too.
Righto, better be off.
Adkins 0- So sorry...:hugs:
OMG its 43 today!! :( :( :( and tomorrow too.. will be 40 till next tuesday!
Adkins - so sorry to here about the bleeding. i hope it stops and it was just nothing.. :(
Tinsel - it sucks the childcare thing hey...
I was glad ash was in care today.. it was nice and cool. we dont have an aircon here and we are melting!! i have relised today my photography course is going to have to wait and an aircon comes first... :( im so bumbed but i cant settle ash at all so i dont know how hes going to sleep! going to be 29 tonight... dont know how anyone would sleep!
better go, the laptops making more heat LOL take care everyone...keep cool!!
