Blip: Woot about the tooth! Must be the day for it. Oliver and Daz can be tooth-buddies, lol .
Peach: At least you got that support at the sleep school, and you know you're doing the right things. Some bubs are just harder to get to sleep I think. *sniff* Awww about Winter moving into her own room. Oliver is still in our room, and I'm such a softy, I'm so not ready for him to move into his own room yet, even though I bet he'd be completely fine on his own. That's so, so fantastic that she's sleeping so well at night now though! Maybe that's what she needed? Maybe she could sense you and your DP in the room and it distracted her? Who knows, but you must feel so good to have that all the extra sleep! Great about full-time cloth too!
AFM: Our heatpump is all installed now! We can't use it yet though, cause we have to wait for the electrical company to approve everything... apparently it could be 2-6 weeks! So annoying!
sterla: aww about the heat pump! yay Daz has a teething buddy!
AFM: well i was wrong. we have TWO TEETH. both bottem ones! i thought it was one but tonight NOPE two. no more munching on mummys fingers! ohh and i've also given up on "teething toys" darren likes munching on soft toys FEET. well.. Mr pineapples feet. but i bought a new toy so Mr pineapples feet can 'dry out' lol.
Hope every one is having a good night!
We have our 2nd tooth! Hana now has 2 bottom teeth. The first one has really sprung up in the last week. You can now see it clearly when she grins. The other one cut through on Monday.
Poor Mae has no teeth yet but its not holding her back she is like the cookie monster. I could keep shovelling food into her mouth.
Ella loves her sisters (for now) and the grin and kick their feet when they see her after daycare. But lately she wants to pick them up but I dont think she understands they have a body. When she tries to lift them up she just grabs their head! So funny despite the tears...
Daz and Oliver - Congratulations on the teeth!
Our girls are sleeping in their own room. (our bedroom) while we are out in the living room. They do sleep better in their own room. I wish we had a spare bedroom to put them in. (sigh)
ann: aww thats cute about mae! the image i had in my head was rather cute. im glad things are going well for you!
AFM: Daz has his Jabs yesterday pore mite was gizzleing for most of the afternoon! but i can understand why - hes become so much more aware in the past 2months he has the right to grizzle! no more untill 12 months though had a friend over last night and made a rost. i didnt burn it! this was a a friend of mine who came into hosptial to see me and daz - not long after daz he was take to SCN. which was nice. tonight is off to mum n dads. lets see if they notice my nose stud LOL.
Hope every one is having a good day/evening/night!
Blip: Awww, poor Daz with the needles . At least there aren't any more for 6 months!
So you haven't told your parents about the nose stud then? Haha, wonder what they'll think?
Luua: Yay for teeth! That's so sweet about Ella and the twins .
How is everyone else doing?
AFM: Pretty quiet around here. Oliver and I went to Rock & Rhyme today and talked to the other mums from my MG that go. Oliver was trying to hold hands with a baby boy there, which was very cute! Afterwards I had lunch with mum.
Hey Girls!
How are we all going? How was everyones day?
Blip- Heheh hope you dont get into trouble from your folks about your nose stud. Are you still loving it? Thats the good thing about piercings, once you get over them you can take them out and no-one would ever know you had them. Poor Daz with his shots Winter still hasnt had hers as she was sick and Ive kind of been putting it off and not mentioning it so DP dosnt take us... I hate vaccinating her
Good to hear you didnt burn your dinner... unlike my garlic bread tonight which was blackened by moi.
Sterla- How are you lovely? How is Oli? Im meant to be starting rock and rhyme with SIL next week cant wait! Thats great you have met some other Mums. How is your mg going??
Luua- How cute Hana has teeth but not Mae. At least you have one gummy bear still. And that is too cute about Ella picking them up heheh
Moose- Where for art thou?!?!?
So not sure if I mentioned last week I got roped into getting photos taken of Winter in the middle of the local bogan shops? Went to look at them today and was SO dissapointed! The main one I liked was blurry! One of them was good so Im going back tommorrow to have another look with Mum and maybe get it.
Had mg in the park today which was nice, really comfortable with them all now which is great. Not much else going on...
Peach: That's great that you are going to Rock & Rhyme! I bet Winter will love it . That's no good that the photos didn't come out very well.
How is Winter going in her own room?
I have MG again on Monday - our first meet up since the official ones ended. Some of the other mums said they really missed not having it this week, so we're going to suggest having it weekly for those who want to.
It is absolutely pouring with rain here today!!!
Anyway, Oliver has woken up, so I better go. Hope you're all well.
Hi Ladies!!!Im back!!Sorry no personals,just mainly wanted to say hello to you all,we had a great time!Good to be back though in my own bed and everything!Think Summer is happier too.No milestones or anything to report like a few others,no little toothys yet,weird really i was so sure by now with all the drooling and chewing etc.anyway ive had a bit of a read but not a huge one but glad everyone sounds well,im sooo tired,DH has gone over to a mates place to watch football and i am here all alone poor me bring out the violins haha just jokes i chose too stay home as his wifes away for the weekend plus im too tired.ok,i'll say bye for now night ladies!!

Sterla: woo sounds like you've got into rock and rhyme! glad to see you're keeping up with mg!
Peach: how'd you pull up?
Moose where are threee? under Mt. washing pile still?
AFM: been a semi. quiet weekend. no wait. i lie its been crazy. friday down here in melbourne we had crazy strong winds. got a knock at the door. guy selling foxtel. tell him to go away, he saw daz on the floor and says "ohh you have children you need fox tell. you only have one child?" and i said "yes, one child another two on the way *evil smile*" he goes "ohh you really need fox tell then dont you?" and i turned around and said "no we need to use protection. cant afford foxtel. bub-bye" *slam door* evil much? then DH gets home. then another knock at the door. and im ready to get stuck into who ever it is. it was the guy next door. telling us one of our trees has fallen over. the fence between us. which is kind of handy as its a cruddy fence and we need a new one. fast forward to saterday. FIL comes over at 9am. with a chainsaw. and STARTS CUTTING. gah. people next door have a dog. DH goes off. i call my dad about types of chainsaws. DH in his anger wants one. long story short. my dad did it. DH and i cut the rest out. aaaaaaaaaaand DH and the guy next door laughed at me when i tried hammering a nail into the old fence...only to stop laughing when DH couldnt do it eather! then last night DH and i had a "drinking night" well...i did. and no hang over for meee (and thats 4 cans a jim beam, 2 bundy and cola aaaaaaaaaand one home made 'cougar and cola' ) today is a relaxing day for us. tomorrow DH is back off to work *sigh* but next week is the start of the month of 'late shift' which is 10am-6pm so i dont see DH from 9:20am untill 6:40pm.
aaany who i better toddle off..im sure there is something other then checking out BB to be doing...
Hope every one is having a relaxing sunday!
Hello Ladies,
have been catching up on everything I have missed since we went MIA to Cairns, glad to hear you have all been well, and welcome to Luua!! I think Lauren is one of the last gummy one in the group, although DH thinks there might be something coming through on the bottom.....will have to wait & see. Sorry no personals tonight, basically to cut a long story short our 4 days in Cairns turned into a week and half as I was in hospital for a week - sorting out my meds. Do hope you are all non-judgmental, I feel you all are, so just to give you some background; I was diagnosed with bi-polar (manic depression) at 19, which I have thankfully learnt to manage fairly well most of the time. Unfortunately that also means I was very susceptible to Post-Natal (PND) which I got as soon as Lauren was born. Anyway, alls well that ends well and I am back on track with it all & will be flying solo without DH starting tomorrow. I am pretty sure I will be OK, plus I have great family & friends support.
As for our munchkin, she is rolling everywhere now, from one side of the room to the other and today even out of the lounge room heading down the hallway! Can't believe how active she is now. Her 6 mnth check up went really well (even though it was with the MCH nurse I dislike the most!) so despite the fact that she only drinks one bottle a day she is still growing and has finally reached 6.7kg ye-ha!!! She is also re-hashing the old rasperries again, which she now does nearly 24/7 - can get difficult trying to feed her milk jelly in the midst of all the rasberries I tell you! Anyway, sorry for the long post will check in later this week for personals, gotta love my DH who has a roast waiting for me. Hope you're all having a great night.
Hi ladies,sorry its a rather selfish post,im really worried about summer,shes refusing her bottles,shes fine with the solids still but is having 2 bottles in a 24 hour period max!!Its been 3 days now,i dont know why.Funny little bubba.No other news,she has her injections thursday so i might ask the doctor then.No other excitements,just had a bit of a disagreement with DH,im surewe have the only baby who still hates tummy time and hasnt yet rolled!!!How embaressing!!haha.He just thinks she will get it in her own time but shes getting older and the months are ticking by!!
yvettemj-sorry to hear you were in hospital!Hey noone here would ever judge,im sure!!My Dh has it also so i sort of know how hard it can be,thankfully he is now on the right meds too,hope so for you too!How cute about the raspberries!Summers out of control with them right now too!As for being the only gummy bear,nope Summer has no sign of any either,lots of dribble,chewing etc but no toothies.Hope you enjoyed your roast!!
Blip: Yeah, I had heard about the crazy winds. That's no good that you had all that business with the tree and fence. Glad you and DH got to kick back and have a few drinks. I've still barely had anything to drink since (and before) Oliver was born. I think I've had a half glass of wine on two occasions, but that's it. Yay for no hangover!
Yvettemj: Had been wondering where you'd got to . I'm sure no one will judge you here . I hope everything is okay now. That's great that you have family and friends for support - it makes so much difference. Lol at Lauren's rolling! Oliver can only roll from tummy to back, so he can't roll across rooms yet - must be fun! Oh, I know what you mean about raspberries! Oliver has rediscovered raspberries for the third time - except this time around there is heaps and heaps of spray involved!
1PJ: No idea about Summer and her bottles. I hope she's okay though. I think most bubs go through times of refusing bottles (or boob) - it's pretty normal. Hopefully she'll get back to normal. Don't worry about the rolling too much (I know it's hard not to). Bubs learn to do things at different times. I bet some bubs don't roll at all and just move straight onto other things.
Peach: How are you and Winter doing? Lol - funny tipsy Peach .
Moose: Have you drowned in that pile of washing? Should we send for help? Lol .
Luua: How are your girls doing?
Antheia: Hope you're having an awesome time on your holiday!
AFM: We went on our first little family day trip yesterday, to have lunch with MIL for her birthday. We drove 1.5 hours, and Oliver was an angel and slept the whole way. We had lunch with MIL and BIL, and Oliver got lots of cuddles and enjoyed chewing on MIL's necklace. He was a happy boy most of the time. The weather was pretty awful though, so we didn't stay on and just drove home after lunch, and Oliver slept all the way home. He slept more yesterday through the day than he usually does, but was still a very tired boy by the evening.
Oliver has been on banana for the past few days and seems to really like it - more so than anything else he's tried. We finally had our first 'banana poo' today - I was expecting it to stink, but it didn't - just looked really funny!
We had a pretty quiet day today - my sister was over and we were making a photo book for my Dad for Father's Day. Ooh, speaking of Father's Day - what do you all have planned for your DH/DP?
Busy week ahead for Oliver and I: MG tomorrow, Playgroup Tuesday and Rock & Rhyme Thursday.
Well, Oliver and I had MG today, and it was really good. I got a chance to chat to lots of other mums, and Oliver was in an especially happy mood which was great. Oliver was having great fun talking to another little baby called Oscar, being hit in the face by a little girl called Jasmine, and wooing a little girl called Ella... I think Ella may be Oliver's first girlfriend, lol - she seems very taken with Oliver. I so love watching all the babies with each other - they are so cute!
Vyet: there is no jugement here. if you ever need some one to talk to just PM me. im happy to listen (walking the long road of normal depression here..) glad to see lauren is gaining waight! thats always a good thing!
Pj: aww poor summer. i found daz was thingy about taking his bottle after his jabs too. i hope she's doing better
Sterla: wow you've been busy! glad MG is still going well for you and Oli has made some "friends". its always nice when they beat each other up (in a cute way!) hows the weather down there for you?
AFM: the crazy, crazy weather continues. last night it even woke DH up. and daz ended up in bed with us (we have a big gum tree in our back yard and we where worried i'd fall down...but its ok ) but FIL wants to get up aladder today and try and cut some of it down (i think NOT...)as the winds are still really strong and they're ment to be bringing more rain with them tonight. which should be fun. it was also MIL birthday yesterday and some one *cough*DH*cough* forgot to tell me! so today will mean (once he's home from work) i'll be running around down the shops for a pressie and a card! other then that. its rather boring here...
I suppose i should go a tackel that mound of washing and the small sack of washing up!
Hello Ladies,
Just wanted to say thanks so much for all your support, and for not judging me. You have all helped me through my worst times without knowing it. Even when I was at my lowest I had always made the effort to read what you were all up to from day 1. Although I wasn't posting it still made me feel like I wasn't going through it alone and gave me something to relate to - so thanks to you all.
1pj: If you ever need anyone to talk to about Summer not drinking bottles, believe me I am here for you!! Lauren is down to no bottles at all again now, so she has four servings of milk jelly instead Summer improves soon for you, feel free to PM me anytime if needed. BTW my roast was awesome, I am soooo lucky my DH cooks every night of the week, I am not a cook at all.
Blip: Do hope all that crazy weather down there improves for you, all my family are pretty much down there, so I am a bit worried about my grandmother too. Hope the weather doesn't make Daz unsettled. Lol about your DH not telling you about your MIL bday. My DH often forgets important things like that as well & springs them on me at the last minute - men!
Sterla: You have been a busy bee this week. Lol about Oli at MG, he sounds so adorable. Glad your family outing went well, I think those times are really lovely to share as a family. Last Saturday we caught up with some friends we hadn't seen for ages, plus one of my best friends (she also has a 3mnth old) it was really nice to have time together as a family outside the house for change!!!!
to everyone else, hope all your bubs are doing well.
AFM: Had some really nice time with my mum today, (we are very close) she couldn't get over how much Lauren had changed since she last saw her. My mum is into theatre, so she was showing Lauren some of her routines for her current show and she loved it! Lauren was giggling & laughing & giving her lots of smiles, it was really cute - perhaps we will have another showgirl in the family yet Then this arvo I visited a friend who I met through our now non-existent MG, and it was really lovely having our bubs play together. Her bub is a month older & was sitting up interested in watching Laurens rolling antics, was quite funny. Then as she had not slept well during the day I ended up putting her down at my friends place & she was great & slept until DH arrived & we all went home. So all in all quite a pleasant day Off to Gymbaree again tomorrow then catching up with my best friend, she has better sleeps tomorrow. We are going through a heat wave atm, so DH & I are thinking about putting an a/c in Loz's room, will have to do some research into it all. Hope you all have a great night.
No I have not yet drowned in a pile of washing, although, since starting solids, the washing went up 5 folds! lol I am sorry I have been the worst baby buddy ever but since I've been back from Melbourne, its all been a bit crazy around here. Might do a quick update on ourselves and then move onto personals
We had a bal in Melbourne, stayed with friends the first 2 nights. They have a 4 mths old and a 2 year old, funnily enough the 2 year old was actually quite threatened by Sammy, everything she touched was: "no sammy, mine" lol! On the 2nd day, the men went shooting and women went to the markets in Footscray and it was awesome! We came back and baked a cake and a roast for Dh birthday dinner while all 3 kids had a ...wait for it! 4 HOUR NAP!!!!!!! I kept going back to Sam and chekcin on her. Mind you she didn;t sleep that well as their house was SO HOT, poor poppet is not used to it and kept waking up at midnight on both noght nad the minute we checked into the hotel, she slept through...then we had 2 days staying in the city. We went on a huge walk around town and went to the Queen Victoria Markets and Sammy was awesome through it all. She had her 1st tram ride and plane ride as well and she did so well, no crying what so ever!! Since we've been back, we've embarqued onto our crazy time of the year, it happens EVERY year for the last 6 and basically, it starts with my DH birthday as well as 3 family member early August. Dh best mate the week after, my SIL & my nephew late August, my best mate early Sept, 2 good friends mid Sept. Mine early October and it goes on and on and on til Xmas..AND on top of it, we just got given a 60 day notice to vacate our unit The landlord sister, who owns half of the unit, needs to move back in. So i am on my 3rd glass of wine to digest the news. We really love living here and with DH 's work move lately, we may move away from the Northern Beaches and I LOVE IT HERE, so lots of talking to do with DH. Because we are building the house at the mo, its all a bit hard as we are a bit strapped for cash..anyway. All I can say is that I am NOT looking forward to move but it may work out in our favour as we do need more space.
As for lil Sammy, she is just the light of my life. She is so interactive and is a hair away from crawling, She gets on all 4's and is rocking back and forth. For the newer mums in the group, Sammy was rolling at 4 months, so she is a bit more ahead on the motor skills...last week, we caught her eating a plant ! LOL We've had some teeth moving in and out but I think another one is coming soon, she has been unusually chucky and whingy..MY GOD< THE WHINGING is driving ME NUTS!!!!!!!According to the unrse its only starting and will be like thta for the next 3 months..yay!!
We had her 6 months check today and she is 7.33kg and doing really well. Every time I look at her I now realise how much she has grown since she was a little gremlin in our arms, now she just makes gremlins sound all the time! lol We find her in all sorts of positions in the cot, legs up and through the bars, on her tummy, side, its hilarious. We got given the thumbs up on the check so that was great to hear. its great watching their little personality coming through. I think DH and I are in for a VERY active and independant child...a bit pig headed too I reckon (she gets that from DH :P)
Enough of me... some quick personals
Blip: wow Dazman has got some pearly whites!! YAY.. that weather you guys are getting must suck big time! oh and I love the new stud ring..what did your folks say?? too funny about the foxtel guy, are you sure you don't need it? You and Dazman are looking fabulous, keep goin girl!
Sterla: you';ve been a busy mum too, and Oli has some new pearlies as well!! Just saw the last pictures of him too, he is soo cute! Sounds like Tas has had some nasty weather too.. Your dirst family day trip sounded awesome. Oli being his good self good behaved child and yes I totally agree the bubs are hilrious when playing with each other. Sammy always grabs everyone else everything..hair, face, feet clothes! lol
Yvette: My SIL has bi-polar and has just had a bubsy who is 7 week old, the whole family is on the PND watch but she is doing really well so far and is not on meds. but she went through a really tough phase beforehand and getting the right "****tail" is always a hard one. feel free to PM me too if you need to talk LOL at Lauren rolling around everywhere! I remember when Sammy started doing that, and you're like..I;ve been wanting her to crawl/roll /move for so long and the minute they start, you;re like...geez it was a lot easier when they didn't LOL
1PJ: the piccies on FB look awesome, Summer looked she had such a good time! Hope that you have settled back in ok. AS for her not drinking the bottle, are you feeding her solids at the same time?
I hope things calm down a bit for you soon.
Antheia: Hope you are having a great time, you sure are having some nice weather!
Luauu: Hope all is well with you and bubs!
Peach: haha about being tipsy! it does feel good to be able to have a bit of fun again doesn't it?
HOw is Winter?
Well, the next few days will be no doubt very busy real estate hunting and we are away for the week-end to babysit my nephews. Will try to keep up and let you know how we go

Woot about the tooth! Must be the day for it. Oliver and Daz can be tooth-buddies, lol

to everyone else, hope all your bubs are doing well.
