Happy V day to you to Lauren
Thanks for the hugs Lauren. Right back at ya ;)
Just a quick pop in to say that we are having another PINK bundle. We were slightly disappointed because we would have loved one of each but we are really happy to be having another girl and a little sister for Monique.
congrats kellie!
It does make things easier with having the same sex. Ie clothing hand me downs.
Best of luck!
Yey Kellie - You'll get used to the idea of two of the same sex iykwim!! My 2 have completely different personalities and both are wonderful.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Tinsel- I was a lil disappointed when we found out Molly was to be a girl but wouldnt change it for the world. I love having 2 girls and they are so different in personality. It was so much cheaper too;)
Happy V day to you all
:loveshower: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY,EVERYONE!!!!!
Buzzie,You have Ash to be your special Valentines,at least it`s unconditional LOVE,hun.:hug:
Tincel- No matter what the sex is hun,just having a healthy bub is more important,you & DH will love bub no matter what the sex is,hun. I?m so happy for you both,:hug:
Kitten 2b & Lori- Yes,we could do a meet up,sounds good to me!;)
Michelle & Nic- Hi,hope you are all having a wonderful day.
Going to have a coffee,might try to pop back later,I`ve been absolutely spoilt today,lol.
Have fun everyone,cheers!!
aww tinsel im sure shell be very much adored also.. :) Congrats all is ok though, did u get any piccies??
Hey ladies,
thought i would pop in fast and say happy v day. Hope you all had a good time. Ethan is cutting teeth again which is proving to be fun oh and the mil is back down again :redface:.
Tinsel - do you have any names picked out? Hugs to you i am sure she will have lots of love off everyone.
Boy there seem to be a few who are preggers now. Glad though cause it makes it easier when you are feeling clucky to come on here and hear all about it.
Talk to you all later.
Man I am such an idiot!!!!
In all the confusion of Loren's convulsion at the doctors last Friday I forgot to get my 20wk scan referal and I am booked in for Monday morning at 9am....My doctor does not open on Sunday either. Do you ladies think I could go to a random medical centre and request a referal? Can't see why not.
Jas - Hugs to Ethan
Hey girls, as per usual my post will start with an apology that I'm hardly around! Sorry :/
I've just read back a few pages, will try to remember what I wanted to say!
Alicia - wow the fires got so close to your parents. I hope everything turned out ok. Sorry to hear you know of people who lost everything.
Nic - OMG. So sad to hear of that little girl. How tragic :( Hope the funeral isn't too sad. I would want to have any photos that anyone had too.
Hoody - I saw on FB that your car was broken into. It's such a horrible feeling isn't it, and I can't believe they took all the kid stuff.
Lori - congrats on your pg! How exciting! I saw your thread about coping with two, I'm sure you'll do just fine. You just do what you gotta do, you'll find it all works out in the end :) I used to stress about the logistics of dealing with 2, but I just tried to stop thinking about it, and just dealt with things as they came up. You can't plan for every scenario in advance iykwim. I found I didn't need to 'entertain' DS whilst feeding DD, you know how people say to have snack boxes or special toys for the toddler during feeding time. I never needed anything like that. We're a pretty laid back house, so the feeding etc just fitted in somehow. Congrats again, glad to hear you're starting to feel excited about it all :)
Well, Tallon starts preschool on Monday. Not sure how he's going to go. We've visited a few times now, and he seems quite comfortable there, but me leaving him there on his own is going to be a different story I think. He knows that when he starts preschool properly that mummy isn't going to stay with him. I'm wondering if him knowing this is what's made him regress a bit with separation from me. The last 2 swimming lessons he's just been so terribly upset and wanting me (I now swim with Kayla in her lesson at the other end of the pool) so I'm almost dreading Monday now. I thought he was really ready, but now I'm starting to wonder. Oh well, if he's really distressed by it after a few weeks he doesn't HAVE to go, I can pull him out and try again later. He talks quite excitedly about it and we list all the different things he'll be doing at preschool and he seems ok with it all, so I guess we just wait & see.
In Kayla-land, we're teething still I think and getting a cold so have had a rough couple of nights. Hopefully this is the last teething for a while. She's cutting all 4 eye-teeth (think they're eye teeth). They're the only one's left to come through anyway now until the 2yr old molars I think. She's got such a funny little personality these days too, so adorable. Should update some photos.
Ok, well I'm going to go. Seems DH wants me to play guitar hero with him LOL.
Hi all.
Tinsel: congrats on a healthy bubba. its ok to feel disappointed.. jus keep going and have a blue one next time ;) :hug: Plus little girls are so darn cute!
Susan: you have the most adorable Dh..
jas: Hi how are you going? teething just sucks doesn't it
Bek: I thnk that would be fine.. I am sure thy would understand that... Can't wait to hear how you go..
Liz: good to see you around.. I didn't go to the funeral.. i just can't do kids ones.. Don't particurly like grown up ones either..
Lori: I too didn't need to entertain the kids when feeding.. i think if you are relaxed about it then Ty will be to.. in other words don't make a big deal out of the change and the n ew baby shouldn't make to much of an impact :)
Well I am cold.. I am sitting right under the Ac and its blowing on one of my arms and nose :lol:
Simon goes back to work tomorrow.. :( I hate work days lol..
Anyways have a nice Sunday Ladies..
Happy valentines everyone for yesterday.
I had a lovely day - DH took me and the girls to the NSW Belly Belly meetup at Hollybolly's house on the Central Coast - had a lovely time meeting all the girls, their kids and DHs again.
Hi Ladies,
Well its 3.50am and instead of been tucked up in bed i am on the computor. DD1 has really bad asthma so i have been up since 1........so so tired but everytime i go to bed she wakes again so i've given up.
My twin sister is having her baby shower today and i cant wait. A little disappointed that DD1 is unwell and it will clash with Molly's sleep time so i'm bound to have 2 grumpy munchkins but there will be plenty of ppl to help.
Molly is fast asleep sleeping like an angel thank goodness we havent disturbed her tonight.
DD1 crying again *sigh* Asthma sucks
Morning. Thanks for your words of encouragement. I am really happy we will have two girls but I'm not looking forward to having two teenage girls - YIKES! :lol:
Nic - next time! noooooo, think we will stick with two. Girls are very cute and it will be good that we can put new bub in the dresses that Monique didn't get around to wearing.
Hoody - how scary with asthma. Have a great time at the baby shower.
Liz - Hi. I think we have some teeth coming through here as well.
Bek - oh no. Easy to forget when there are other things going on. I don't see why you couldn't get a referral from a random place. You get the report and ultrasounds to take back to your doctor anyway.
Jas - we have some names on our list from last time but DH really likes Camille and I think it could sound bad with ocker aussie accents. Not sure.
Buzzie - we got two pics which I will upload into the gallery. She wasn't being very cooperative yesterday so they aren't great.
We had such a bad sleep last night. Monique woke up crying about every hour. We gave her nurofen which helped but then she was crying again when it wore off. DH is still in bed - grrrrr when do I ever get a sleep in. I have put Toy Story on to keep her entertained while I'm trying to wake up. I think it is teeth because she is chewing on everything. She is such a good walker now and is so funny to see her walking in and out of rooms and down the hall. Think I need another cup of tea....
Morning ladies,
It`s a lazy Sunday here,still sitting around in my Pj`s,watching kiddies shows, lol.
Hoody- Sorry your having a terriable time with dd Asthma,hope she ia feeling better soon,hun & you get some decent sleep. :hug:
Nic- Gee,my DH has such a bloody head swell from your compliment,his head wont fit through the door,:ROFL: seriously,he is a good man!! Hows the family going Nic,have you got rain up your way,It`s peeing down here where we are,looks like it`s set in for another week......Sigh......the kids hate being inside for too,long!!:wall:
Tincel- Hi,I think i would rather two Teenage girls,than boys! Girl are more mature than most boys....you`ll br fine,lol. How is Monique`s cold,Kieren is sleeping more since he has been sick,so i have a little more time out,iykwim.
Bek z- Hi, I?m sure if you can get to a medical centre & explain to them how you foregot your referal,i?m sure they would give you one,:crossfingers: Good luck,hope all goes well,for you!
Kitten 2 b- Hi, sounds like you had a lovely day,shame about our weather though! It`s nice to have a family day out with friends.
Hi to everyone else....... Have a good day!!:D Better get off my fat ass & get showered,while the kids are quiet.
Hi Ladies,
I went down the the medical centre down the road and the doc gave me a referal no probs. I don't know why I panicked. I am a stress head lately.
Feeling rather blah today. I have a headache and am a bit tired. Of all days Loren won't go down for a sleep for me and DH has taken Sara out so I'll probably miss my only opportunity of the week to have a rest.
Sorry I have a vent coming...
I am so not happy with my friend who I held a baby shower for last weekend. In amongst Loren being sick I helped (although not to my friends standard) her hold a baby shower. Granted I was late to her place on the day and the poor cherub had to do some cooking all by herself before I got there. Mind you she had has a full nights sleep the night before and I hadn't slept for days at that point. Anyhow the day went off really well and thankfully DH was able to keep Loren's temps under control whilst I was out. Then last night my SIL went to a party and she was there. My SIL asked her if she enjoyed her party and she simply replied that she was too tired to care about it and that I failed her by not not helping enough in the morning!!!! I still bought a heap of food with me, I set up the room when I got there and I ran all the games. WTF she is lucky I came at all with Loren being so sick. I tell ya I think motherhood is going to hit this princess really hard. Sorry for the vent for some reason I needed to get it out.
Hi all,
Bek- How bloody rude. She won't know what hit her when bubs comes along...
Tinsel- Awww hun I understand. I was dissapointed to find out Ty was a boy and tbh, I think I'd be dissapointed if this one is a boy.
Louise- I haven't been to the Catholic Club kid's one yet, I don't think they'd let me in because I'm not a member- and becoming a member is pretty complex, you have to have two other members sign your form to nominate you. But there's a Lollipops here which is great, or I could come to you? I'll PM you, I wanted to ask you about a wedding cake quote too.
And Susan i think you're in Parramatta, is that right? Would love to meet up with you too.
Lauren- Happy Valentines Day hun :loveshower:
Nic- Work day suck, I like weekends. They're my days off coz dh is home...
Ummm I don't think I missed anyone...
Dh out did himself yesterday and decided to be all nice ;) I got a sleep in, and then a rose, macca's for breakfast and Ty all dumped on me at 9am :D Then my mum babysit while went out for a three course lunch (seriously, we don't normally eat like that but it was a set menu so we thought we might as well) and put a deposit on wedding rings. Then we sat and played boardgames last night after Ty went to bed. Seriously lovely day. Just when I get all cranky at him he goes and does something really nice :lol:
Hope you're all having a very lazy Sunday...
Bekz - Any news yet????? Im hanging out for it :D
Well to give you all the new update....
I started smsing rob last night... i was actually really angry and just needed to vent a little but basically said how frustrated i was his SIL was more interested in getting to know our son more than his own father...
So anyways cut a story short, he told his parents last week with his brother and SIL in the room and him his brother and his mother all cried and he showed her a couple pics he had that i sent him when ash was little, and they said he is just gorgeous and want to meet him. They are beign very supportive, which frustrated the crap out of me in the sense that i always knew they would be and he was such a worry wort!
Rob was saying more sorrys and he cant wait to see ash again and see him playing with his 2 cousins, and said i want you to know you are my family too and there is an extented family for you here as well as ash.
so alot of me was happy but ash doesnt know who he is and will take a long time to warm up to him, i said he needs to be comfortable around his dad before seeing so many other strangers. im not throwing ash into this and im going to take it as slow as Ash needs....
So that is that.. we havent made any plans to catch up again, im going to leave that up to him, but making it clear he needs to keep doing it all the time once he starts...
I was just going to ask you how things were going today Lauren. I am sure his change of heart prob has a lot to do with his parents and family talking to him.. he should have been like this from the start but (imo) better late then never and as long as he continues contact and doesn't do what my SIL exh has done. he hasnt even rung his kinds in a year :( they are 5 and 7.. A hole..
Anyways good luck with it all.. I hope everything works out well..
Bek: hoping all goes well today and fingers crossed for a blue bundle.. but a pink one is good to.. and as they say.. As long as bub is happy and healthy :D
me.. nothing to report. Olivia just growing up to fast lol.. Having a semi lazy day today
yeh i think things will be VERY different now.. so im just going to take it one day at a time.. i just hope he see ashs enough to get him to bond with him so we can start seeing the family. I look forward to it to be honest...
Hello Ladies,
Well I am pleased to announce that our baby is healthy and that we'll be welcoming a
Princessinto our family.
According to the scan she is a little small for the original edd of 10 July, but she is spot on for the date that I originally thought would be my edd which is the 16th of July.
Lauren - So glad you've got some news on what is going on with Rob's family. What a huge learning curve for Rob hey...Someone has to force him into being a man...good on you hon.
Congradulations Bekz on another little princess,...
Congradulations Lori on your preg.....
Hi girls! another rainy afternoon here...sigh.....:wall:
Lori- Hi hun,yep I?m in Parramatta,a meet up would be lovely at some time,Iam sure the little ones will love it...he he he...
Nic-Hi,not much happening around here either,but the kids are so sick of being inside!
Lauren- Hi,good on you for setting some ground rules,your one tough cookie,lol.I really hope everything works out well for you and Ash,you both deserve it hun. :hug:
Bek z- Hello, WOW another Princess,that is so cool! I would love another little girl & so would DH. Congrats!!! :cheer:
Well not much going on around here atm,I can`t believe all this bloomin rain we are getting!
Tinarose- Hi how are you going?
Bek - Yay another little princess. How is DH? I can see you with four bubbies so good luck for the blue bundle next time ;) BTW your friend doesn't know how lucky she is to have a great friend like you.
Lauren - that is so excellent that Ash will know the other side of the family.
MoM - Hi there. Sorry to hear you still have the lurgy there. Monique actually faired quite well after we kept her home. Just a bit snotty here and there but not too bad.
Teena - Hi how are you and the girls going?
Lori - sounds like you were spoilt on the weekend. Lucky you.
I'm into my third week at work and I don't think I really want to be there. It's nice to see everyone again though and catch up. I only have 14 weeks to go and putting money in the bank and I go to lunch and a walk with DH every day so it can't all be bad.
Hello lovely ladies.........i hang my head in shame again at the lack of posting.
Been super busy as my best friend is getting married fri and i am maid on honour :lol: Had the hens night and stuff this weekend gone and have helped with some other stuff plus also had my twin sisters baby shower. DD1 is also unwell with her asthma again. Just got back from the hosy and she will not sleep. All the ventalin and nebs just put her on a high. She started Sat but has got progressively worse. She is flower girl on fri so i am hoping she is better by then.
Molly is doing well. We have an appt on thur to get a referral to the childhood development centre. Her leg seems to be getting worse and she is getting more and more frustrated. She is so close to walking but after 2-3 steps her leg just rolls out from underneath her. I am getting a bit frustrated too as every 2nd person seems to have an opinion on what sore of treatment she should be having iykwim. Esp the IL's.
DH is off tomo arvo so having some much needed me time to do the food shopping and having my nails done then my hair done wed and a spray tan on thur..........a very nice week for me.
Hope all mums bubs and bumps are well.
Tinsel- sorry you dont want to be at work but at least you have a light at the end of the tunnel :)
Bek- YAY on another girl :)
Hoody - Hugs re both your girls. Molly must be so frustrated.
Tinsel - DH is quiet but ok. He is a lot better this time around than with Loren. 4 babies!!! OMG I don't think I can cope with they 2 I've got atm. Don't stress about work. I really regret not going back between SAra and Loren. Enjoy the time in adult company hon.
We my "friend" had her baby 4/5 weeks early at 1.30am this morning. Thankfully Maja Alekandra is a healthy 3kgs. She is having attachment issues but mum and bub are ok.
I don't know what is wrong with me today. I just feel like having a good cry. I think the last week with Loren being sick, my friend and her issues, my scan (I was so freaking nervous) and Loren starting care tomorrow has taken its toll. Deep breathing is what I need.
Hi all,
Argh and I here I was thinking I had avoided morning sickness :lol: yeah right I have been so sick the last three days I can hardly move. I went and bought some of those sea sickness bands from the chemist and the actually seem to be working so far (yep, I'm desperate, I'll try anything).
Lauren- That sounds promisisng so far. I hope he calls and starts to make arrangements to see Ash soon. And you are very right to take it slow too.
Bek- Yay on the girl!!! If it turns out I'm having a boy I'll swap ya :lol:
Tinsel- 14 weeks will fly by hun, work will be over before you know it.
Ok I've gotta go Ty is screaming his head off and dh is as usual just standing there. Be back later.
Discipline may be too hard of a word, but I am fast learning that my DD has a very determined attitude which is fine but I don't want to let her get away with too much and it just be harder to correct in the long run.
I would really like to not use the word No, but what are my other options? All examples would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, I don't get in here very often due to me working full time and DH working shift work but I knwo this is the place that will give me the most honest answers.
Thanks
Kts: I tell Olivia NO quite firmly and explain why she can't.. for example she is always touching the stereo.. I can't move it so she has to learn that no she can;t touch/. I move her away and say NO you can't touch that because you will break it.. She is touching it less and less these days. Maybe goes near it 2-3 times a day
As for other things.. sometimes she will crack a tanty when putting her in her car seat.. We either ignore or say you have to do this and it will only be for a short time..
Congrats Bekz.. hows hubby holding up?? lol
so did u settle on a name??
Lori - are u hoping for a girl?
Congrats Bekz on your little princess. Do you have any names? Glad to hear that all her parts look to be in order.
Well i am soo happy with Alex. i just went to a teacher/parent thingy that they have at my school every year. Alex is in the top 6 students in his class. Woohoo all my hard work has payed off. He was also invited to the 12 page recorder cup group.
i am off tomorrow to meet jack's teacher. Him and Alex are like chalk and cheese. Jack doesnt want to learn unless there are trains involved. Although today we had a break threw cause he could write with a pink pen. There is light, charlie seems to want to do the same homework as Jack but i dont know whether i should encourage this or send him to play as it is one on one time with Jacky.
Sorry ladies will try to do personals later on. Ethan appears to have a cold with a rash? Going to call the after hours doctor out after 6.
Hi I'm back again,
Lauren- Yep, definately hoping for a girl (oops sorry- I mean I don't care either way as long as it is healthy :lol:)
kts- Yep, like Nic I use NO a lot. No and shaking my head. Ty gets it- he even stands there shaking his head at himself if he's touching something he' not allowed. Just curious, why don't you want to use no?
Jas- Poor Ethan. Ty's been a bit under the weather lately too, it's not nice for anyone.
Ok, I think that's everyone I missed before.
I am home alone tonight. Dh is in hospital overnight to get an infection cut out of his hand and the bone scraped (ewwww!) Remember ages ago when i said he's put a screwdriver through his hand, playing with the fish tank? Well it turned into a massive bacterial infection and, of course, the pain is killing him :rolleyes: it's a good thing the blokes don't have the babies.
So.... eating chocolate for dinner. How's everyone else?
I am just ho humming my way through till the kids go to bed :lol:
Once they are asleep I am going across the road ti sit and chat till bed time lol.. don't worry i will have my baby monitor and will be outside and can see my house.. (we are right across the road)
Simon is on night shift.. Its nice to not have to stare blankly at the Tv or computer tonight
yep had my chocolate for dinner too lol. so cant be bothereed tonight.
ash is just beyond feral. hes been so sick this last week, threw up a couple times during the night which wasnt fun, and hes just winging and crying at anything and everything... very frustrating, but i keep trying to remind myself i get cranky when im sick too.
Had to pick him up from childcare today cos he was so miserable.. but i wasnt working so that was ok, but tomorrow i am and am very worried! :(
:hug: Lauren! I have to remind myself when Jacob is having a feral day that he isn't feeling 100% either.. Its hard though.. fingers crossed he is better tomorrow
Olivia was just so darn adorable tonight.. She had her booby then cleaned her teeth and then when she was looking tired I picked her u[ but she didn't want more boo boo so we got her cup of water which she was so excited to see (thirsty girl she is) she lay on my lap drank half a cup of water and for the next 15-20 mins she talked softly to me and stroked my face till she fell asleep.. I tells ya if its possible I feel in love with her all over again..
Nic- Awwww that is so cute. Ty hasn't wanted to kiss me or cuddle me much since he stopped the booby.... almost two weeks :( You're so lucky to have a friend across the road like that- I have one down the road but the baby monitor doesn't work that far away ;)
And Lauren :hug: hun hang on in there... it's so yucky when they're sick, stretches my patience biiiiiiig time.
Wow....morning ladies. I?m so excited,some lovely person has given me a Random Act of Kindness. I got up early this morning with DH & thought i would get on here before the kids woke. I couldn`t believe it. A BIG THANKYOU to the kind hearted person who was thinking of me :hug:
Gee I cant wait ti find out who gave this to me,i wonder if they would pm,me!
Well,I?m of to the Doctor`s this morning,kieren is still un well,so i think he needs to be checked out again.
Happy Birthday to Trish.....Where are you hun,lol.Have a great day!
I will be back later to do Personals, I?m on cloud 9 atm.......:dance:
