Cant believe my little man is 18 months today!! omg!!
Hope everyones well. This forum is really slowing down now hey..

Happy 18 months Asher :)
Not much going on here.. busy busy busy packing and cleaning.. I can't wait!!!! is it the 6th yet :lol:
alicia: are your pics on FB? Off to check it out :)
OMg alicia!! AWESOME pics!! Loved them all :D
Thanks Lauren and Nic :D
Lauren - Olivia loves painting and drawing. To make the clean up easy I got a cheap shower curtain from the $2 shop and that's what I put down on the floor when she is painting.
Nic - Rob has a lot more photos of the scenery on his fb so if you are interested you can send him a friend request and I'll tell him to accept you :)
Well Olivia had her 18 month check today and all is well. She is now 11.3kg and 82cm tall. She is still traking along the exact same line that she has been on since birth (the 75th percentile) so she is going to be a tall girl. She has 16 teeth already so hopefully now we will get a little break from teething until the 2yo molars come in.
I hope everyone is have a good night. Will check in tomorrow.
Where is everyone?????
I took Olivia for her second haircut today. It is so much better than her first one and the woman told me what the other hairdresser did wrong, basically she totally stuffed it up, but now it has almost grown out and is looking quite cute. We are trying to get it all the same length and then it will be a little bob that sits on her shoulders :)
Poor Olivia has been grizzley and not herself today. The MCHN said that the chickenpox injection might make her a bit off and I think it has :doh: We had a major tanty this morning because I asked her if she wanted a biscuit, she said yes, and I dared to give her one. She totally lost it. I think it is because I took one out of the packet and handed it to her rather than letting her get it out herself :rolleyes: Like I said I think she is a bit 'off' today anyway but we have definately got a little girl who is asserting herself more and more.
OK I am off to get the munchkin into her pjs and settle down to watch Masterchef - we love it!
I am here just slack lol..
I will add Rob for sure.. Simon and I really loved the pics and would love to see more :)
I found my Olivia was a bit off after her needles to. they can get like that. for us it started about 4 days after the needles and lasted 2 days I think. she had high temps and was just miserable.
yay on 2nd haircuts. I don't think I will ever get olivias haircut again :lol: or at least not for a little longer yet. I am starting to like the way Olivias hair is looking now especially the back.. the front is still a bit yuck (to me)
Well today miss Olivia learnt how to climb the barricade into the kitchen and made a mad dash for the back door *sigh* so time to make sure the backdoor is shut at all times again :lol: (we have a highset house and the back stairs doesn't have a railing on one side..
oh and she has started saying 2 word sentences. her latest today was bike bog bike bog (the boys always pretend the bikes are bogged lol) and at traffic lights (we only have 2 sets here lol) we say go go go green lights go green. today she said go go geeen.. Was so adorable
I think thats about it. Still having issues with the undressing business. Today she undressed herself nappy included after her day nap and chucked a tanty when I went to put a nappy on her. 5 mins later she pooped so I don't know if she wanted the toilet or not.. We are going to TT when we get back from our holiday.
omg alicia wat a great idea with shower curtain! im so gonna do that!
we attempted a third hair cut... with massive failure. but thats ok will try again later..
had a massive fight with rob this weekend so im not very happy atm.
oh well.. hope everyones well.
Anyone still not got AF yet?? starting to think im either really lucky or this is getting weird. Trying to plan a 'ooopsie' is hard wen u dont know ur cycle very well..lol
Evening Ladies
:hug: Lauren. Hope the fight blows over..
Quick question.. How do I disable my emails from here when I go away?
Hi Nic - I think you just go into your Quick Links-Subscribed Threads and uncheck the Notification box. Not entirely sure as I don't want emails. How exciting your holiday sounds. Not long to go now.
Alicia - your holiday snaps were excellent and looks like you had a great time. Olivia looked like she had loads of fun in the red dirt. Do you take Olivia to a special kids hairdresser? Monique needs her fringe cut again but I always manage to do something "special" to it because she doesn't stay still for me and I'm not the worlds straightest cutter. I wish Monique would wear clips in her hair. Olivia looks so cute with them in.
Buzzie - I think you might be the only one left with no AF hun. I only had it three times before I got pregnant so its been nice not having it for all this time. Bit hard if you are TTC an oopsie though :lol: Hope the argument sorts itself out soon.
Monique has her 18 month check up today. I am so curious as to how tall she is. She had her Needle last week which went well. We didn't have any side effects thank goodness although she could potentially break out in a mild dose of chicken pox in 5-26 days after the needle. We asked the midwife about that as we will have a newborn soon but she wasn't too concerned if bubs got it.
I have a silly question. What do you wash your little toddler with in the bath? Normal soap or do you have a bath gel or something else?
I am 39 weeks today and I really hope bub wants to arrive this week. I am getting really uncomfortable now and it is so hard to get up these days.
Tinsel - sending come out bubba vibes to you. Hope bub comes soon - although if i was bub i would rather stay inside it is cold out here atm. I use baby bath or some of my shower gel to make bubbles, ethan loves to drink the water in the bath so i have to be careful.
Nic - i am not quite sure i know if you go and play around in the privacy section you will come acrost it. Not good about olivia learning to climb the barricade. Dont you love it when they learn new things, ethan has learnt how to get out the front door if there is enough room for him to squeeze and move himself around to force it open.
Lauren - know what you mean about weird cycles. Mine drives me crazy. After i had my 1st son i went 18 months before i had a period. After ethan they come when they feel like it being weeks or months. I dont know about that maternal feeling passing. My mother still gets it.
Alicia - ethan had his chicken pox vaccine on friday and has been off since as well. Got to love it when they develop their own personality.
Ethan has been really cranky today and yesterday boy is "feelings" have been hurt more then normal and his not sleeping at night again :( Not sure why though. Hoping he doesnt get the rash this time unlike with the last needles. He was home for 3 weeks due to rashes. He hates his nappy as well but doesnt want to use the potty he would rather go on his brother's booster seat - so leaving the nappy on for now. Charlie was not amused at all.
Got to run, hope anyone who is sick is feeling better soon. Stay warm
Tinsel: I wash Olivia in normal soap or bath wash (adult) or baby stuff. Depends what is at hand
How close are you now. wow.. I am so excited for you lol. I hope bubba makes an appearance before I leave..
I am so excited.. 98% packed. just a handful of things to go.. WOOOOT I so can't wait!!
Such a cute thing to share. today simon was on the phone and had to spell our name and olivia was trying to say it as well. She was sounding out the letters.. Even the lady on the other end of the phone had a laugh..
nic - not long to go.. woo.. lol hope u finished packing.
jas - thanks i feel so normal now. was starting to worry.
im not in a rush to have another bub just yet, need to move house first and work is so fantastic atm, but just wanted to get to know how my body is working again.. bet i wont say that when it starts lol.
Hope everyone had a good week.... kellie u almost 40 weeks now....!? how u feeling??
Lauren: Loving your new ticker pic.. So cute
Pretty much all packed. Just have to pack the towels and a few blankies a bit better. We opened the camper and put most of the bedding in there already so less in the car *phew*
4 sleeps to go .. I am getting pretty antsy to go now. Simon is on night shift.. only 2 to go then he doesnt go back to work till the 18th August :D
kellie: fingers crossed bub makes an appearance before I go. Otherwise I am going to have to get someone to text me :lol: (seriously)
Nic - PM me your mobile number and I will put you on the baby message list although I am hoping that bub comes out before you go. I am so ready for her to be out now :D
You always seem to be going away somewhere which is fantastic.
Buzzie - yep, 40 weeks on Monday. This pg has seriously gone fast and I really need to get mentally prepared for the labour - eeeek! Are you still house hunting? What a pain.
Nic and Jas - thanks for getting back to me re bath soap. Monique loves to drink the water too which is why I wasn't sure what to use. We've been having bubbles the last couple of nights which she loves but she also drinks :rolleyes: actually not so much tonight so maybe she realises it isn't so nice.
Check the BA section girls
Off to look now.. :D does that mean you have a new baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Kellie :D:D
So funny I just PM'd you my mobile :lol:
Not me Nic!!! I feel like I am going to be pregnant forever. Enjoy your trip. Livy is just so cute
