Holy LONG post!
Hi Ladies,
Moose: My folks are in Melbourne and we'd love to visit too but we might wait till the twins are older. Travelling with 3 under 3yo is a nightmare. Great news about the rocking. Sounds like she'll keep you busy once she's on the move!!
Yvet: Milk jelly? Wow that sounds like hard work! Lauren sounds funny rolling around everywhere.
Sterla: Glad Oliver loves bananas. Our girls are not impressed with them. But i'll try again next week... But we love everything else! They eat soooooo much I'm shopping constantly for fruit and veges but then again I've got two hungry little mouths to feed ;)
1PJ: Hope Summer is drinking more. Is she still having 6 wet nappies? On the rolling - dont worry. Ella didnt roll till she was 9months old but she was talking in full sentences at 19months so she may end up being a talker rather than an active girl. Looks like Hana and Mae will be the same. They are talking all the time (to each other)
On the weekend we took all the girls to the beach. Cant believe we're doing this in Summer! Anyway it takes us 30mins to get everyone in the car and half way there we realised we forgot the food! Doh! Ella loved splashing and making sandcastles and the girls got their first dip in the ocean.
good morning ladies!
Moose: wow busy, busy girl you've been! thats cool about the tram ride. they're not so nice in the middle of peak hour though. did you meet any of our lovely ticket inpecters that ride the trams? thats a bugger about the flat your in! i hope you guys find a bigger (and better!) place soon. when do you guys move down here? Melbourne Town is pritty cool (minus driving though it in a datsun 120Y in peak hour!) hows sammy going? crawling yet? my nose stud my mum just rolled her eyes at me my aunt didnt care and well...dad didnt even seem to see it! (or any one elsethat i havent shown) and yeah, we dont need foxtel. if we got it DH would never want to TTC #2!
lu: aww thats cute about the sand! at least you rembered not tooo far away from home! i have a question do you still b/f the twins whilest out and about? how do you do that? (if you dont mind me asking)
AFM: been strange few days. had some personal issues so kind of i guess shut down for a few days. but feeling better now, kind of. but other then that daz is really getting into the whole rolling thing. had MG yesterday and one of the bubs is rocking on all fours! which is pritty cool. (hes the youngest bub there too!) im wondering if darren will do that soon. its scary that the bubs are all growing up soo fast! mind you the last week or so i've become 'clucky enough to lay an egg" according to DH! but we'll wait (like we planned :wall: untill the end of this year. )
Any whoo i better go and clean this house up!
:wiggle:
Hey ladies - just popping in quickly to share a small woohoo. I did my first ever public breastfeed today, at the library after Rock & Rhyme. It's taken me long enough, lol - but I did it! Yay :dance:.
BBL for personals.
Hey all,
I know I have been MIA from this thread for like forever but I just keep telling myself I'll get to it next but never do!
Master L has 2 teeth sitting just under the bottom gum waiting to arrive! He is chewing what ever gets in his mouth! He has started to crawl which means this house needs major baby proofing!
Slowly starting on solids!
Hope everyone is well
Lots of Love
SugarDust: Wow, it's been awhile! Glad to hear everything is going well with you and little L. I can't believe he's crawling!!! What a clever boy! :clap:
Blip: :hug: Hope everything's okay. I know what you mean about bubs growing up too fast. I can't believe Oliver will be 7 months so soon! Waaaah!!!!
Luua: That's nice taking all your girls to the beach. I don't think we'll be doing that for a while - considering as here in Tassie it's pouring down with rain 90% of the time these days. Oh no about forgetting the food, lol!
Moose: You have been a busy, busy woman haven't you!!! Sounds like you had a great time in Melbourne :). I know what you mean about birthdays, etc all grouping together. November leading into December (and Christmas chaos) is my crazy time: mum's birthday, 2 aunts birthdays, 1 uncles birthday, my birthday, wedding anniversary, non-wedding anniversary... then a bunch of friends have birthdays early December! Hope you get through it all without too much stress :). That sucks about having to move - believe me, I know! I'm a pro at moving, unfortunately :rolleyes: I hope you find a place and the move goes smoothly and quickly.
Yvettemj: How cute about Lauren laughing at your mum's routines - cute!
How is everyone else doing?
AFM: Well, Oliver and I have had a super busy week, which I have loved! Monday we had MG which was so nice. I mentioned about Oliver playing and talking with the other bubs. Tuesday we went to Playgroup at my lil sister's school (for her Child Studies class). Oliver had a ride in some box cars/boats/trains, played with some balloons and watched us blow bubbles. I think most of all he loved watching all the other little people running around. Afterwards we met up with a teacher at the school who taught me all the way back in Year 9. I was one of her favourite students, and she's been hearing all about me and Oliver through my sister and wanted to meet us. She asked me all about uni, etc, and I don't think she was overly impressed with the fact that I changed degrees, am still studying and have no idea what I want to do after I graduate :redface:. Anyway...
Wednesday, Oliver and I went to the house of one of the mum's from my MG. We have a mutual friend, and she lives opposite my parents, so we already sort of knew each other. She has a 9 month old baby girl. We got along pretty well which was good, and Jasmine and Oliver had fun playing next to each other on the floor. Jasmine's a bit rough though! She kept sort of hitting Oliver, and at one point she grabbed onto Oliver's bib and yanked forward! They are going to come to my place next Wednesday, so that will be nice.
Today was busy again. We had Rock & Rhyme in the morning, and afterwards I spent about an hour chatting to the other mums from my MG (that was when I did my first public bf). Afterwards I met my mum for lunch, then bought Oliver some maracas, and some new clothes. Phew...
Tomorrow is the one day we don't have any plans.
Oliver has gone back to waking up three times a night the past few nights though :(. Not sure why, but I hope it passes. Last night he was up at 4.30am for a feed, then didn't go back down until 6am!!!
Hope you're all having a great night :)
good morning ladies!
sugar: yay for Master L having teeth - its where the fun starts isnt it?!
Sterla: Woo for the public B/F :clap: well done. who cares how long it took? you've just proved you have faith in your body and hopefully your confiance will grow from there on in! as for not knowing what you want to do once finished uni. just wait and see! i know before i had dazi finished a tafe corse and i havent used it yet! what will be will be, and besides being a mummy is so much more fun then work (minus the lack of sick leave :p )
AFM: well we had the first true "sleep though" today. went down at 10:30pm last night, woke up at 6am! now that'd be really good right? WRONG i was up at 5am made DH's lunch and expected daz to be up. so i went and laid down in bed (temping fate he;d wake up) but NOOOO he slept till 6 :doh: but he's been good. had quick 15min power nap mind you! but its off to medicare today to hopefully put the paper work in for the gas rebate (taken long enough :eyeroll: ) i ran into the guy who lives over the road from DH and I. i hadnt seen him in like 6 months (no joke!) and found out today his wife left him at the start of the year. she'd been (so he said) having an affair. he looked so gutted. i feel sorry for him. he seems like a nice enough guy. but there is always two sides to a story...
other then that? i have a cold. well a snuffy nose bought on by what happend over the weekend, some one told me its the bodys way of clearing out all the negativeity (i can only :pray: thats what its doing) any whoo i better do wash the clothes i have sitting in the basket next to me!
Hope every one is having a lovely day (down in melbourne its kind of nice!)
:wiggle:
Hello Ladies
Hope you're all having a good weekend.
Blip: Glad to hear that Daz slept through for you, that's great. Sometimes I think we take it for granted that Lauren has slept through since she was 8 weeks, but then again we've also had more than our fair share of other problems! Can't believe you wake up so early to make your DP lunch, I hope he appreciates it :)
Sterla: Sounds like you have been super busy, well done on the public b/f that's great. Hope Oliver likes his maracas, Lauren has some & she loves them, they are her favourie toy atm. If I were you I wouldn't take offense to you Grade 9 teacher & her views on your academic efforts. It took me 5 yrs to do a 3 yr degree (partly bcos of my condition & partly) bcos I swapped into a double degree halfway through, then decided I didn't like it. Although yes I did finally graduate, have I done anything at all with my Uni degree?? Nope. And even though I am in a nice permanant govt job, is it really what I want to do? not really. But it has enabled me to do other things, like taking 12mnths mat leave with 20weeks of it on full pay, so there you go. I like to think of life as a journey, we're here to enjoy the ride. Do hope Oli's sleep settles down for you :crossfingers:
Sugardust: wow on master L's crawling, he must be keeping you on your toes! We also sadly need to start on baby proofing the house sooner that I thought, I think Lauren is very close to crawling & as she has now figured out how to open the doors on our entertainment unit, have to do something about that very soon!
Luua: Sounds like you had a fun filled trip to the beach. Yes the milk jelly is in lieu of the fact that she refuses to drink ANY bottles. So four times a day we strap her in the high chair & hope for the best with her solids. I have learnt that as a parent you do what you have to do. :)
Moose: Sounds like you had a great time in Melbourne, you are making me homesick for it all!!! Do hope your SIL continues to go well, that is fantastic she is doing it all off her meds, thanks for your support. :)
AFM Lauren had her first swimming lesson this morning & it went really well, she looked quite comfortable in the water - wondering if we have a water baby on our hands! There was lots of splashing like she does in the bath, it was very cute, I think maybe she just thought she was in a giant bath!! My DP represented his State in swimming when he was younger, so maybe she will take after him! She has been so active lately, getting very close to crawling & opening cupboards etc not exactly what I need right now, but I am coping. I also have a case manager now who specialises in bi-polar & peri-natal so that is great, she will be visiting every week now. Lauren has also been really fighting her day time sleeps, and she woke once last night about half an hour after we put her down, which is VERY unlike her. I think I vaguely remember one of the child health nurses telling me if your child sleeps well, the 6 month mark can be where things start to go bad. Anyone else heard this theory??? Sometimes I just don't know whether to keep persisting with her arvo nap when she is fighting it so much....ah well, its all trial & error I guess. Other than the sleeping & the teething, she has been good so I can't complain. Hope you're all having a great weekend.
Hi Girls,
Just a quick one to let you all know we are still here. Been busy as usual.
Good to hear everyone is going mostly ok. Our group is huge now!!! Good to hear from you Moose! Big :grouphug:
J*
Hi Peach! :D
Hi!! :lol: Oh tommorrow Im going to the rock and rhyme!
That's awesome! Hope you and Winter have fun!
I had Oliver weighed this morning, and he'd only put on 40g in 2.5 weeks. But that can't be right, as in the past few weeks I've started having to do his MCNs up on the next biggest setting, and his hands and feet are noticably chubbier. Oh well.
How is everyone doing today?
:wave: ello peach!
sterla: i know the feeling about the whole "OMG NO WAIGHT GAINED" yet they look chubby! my MIL said 'we didnt have this when *my* DH was a baby. its too stressful for mothers" Oli Look soo cute in his MCHNS!
why do boys feel the need to be all 'manly' when it comes to work around the house? DH and FIL have cut down two trees in two days (well not right now...BUT) the latter of the two trees stuffed up the fence (on the other side to the one the tree fell on :wall: ) sometimes i wonder about men...they're not always very bright are they :lol:
We have a second surprise tooth!!! :dance:
Oh go Oliver! Woop! Hey did you have him measured at the same time? He may have grown in length and maintained weight if that makes sense? How are the nappies going? I ordered some more covers for at home when i use terry and they sent the wrong size, so when they resent out the right size they put in a free minky for Winter! How sweet is that?! I was so stoked!
Blip- :hello: too funny about the testosterone thing :)
Good morning ladies :).
Please excuse my post if it comes out all weird, but I am suffering from some severe sleep deprivation here... had the worst night - up 5 times, then awake at 5.30am for the day. Longest span of sleep - 2 hours. Lots of waking up but not wanting a feed, so rock to sleep, then put down and wake up and start crying again... repeated several times :wall:.
Peach: How did Rock & Rhyme go? Did Winter enjoy herself? We are going to ours tomorrow, but then it has a break while the school holidays are on :(. What else are you and Winter up to? I can't believe she's almost 7 months! That all our bubs are almost 7 months! Where did that time go?
Blip: lol about the 'manly men' :lol:. How is Daz going? Love the new pic in your ticker :).
How is everyone else doing? We're so quiet here these days - I miss all my baby buddies *sniff*
AFM: Well, apart from the terrible night's sleep, we're pretty good here. The electrician came back this morning and switched everything over, so now we can finally start using our heat pump - hooray!!! It's so nice and warm!
Oliver has stepped up his babbling in the past couple of days - he's doing lots of 'babababas' and 'mamamas' - it's SO CUTE!
Also, he is getting very close to being able to pull himself to standing. DH told me that when Oliver had his bath last night, he had to spend most of his time trying to stop Oliver from basically climbing out of the bathtub, lol.
Oh, and DH and I have finally decided to move Oliver into his own room. Peach, you got me thinking about it, and we've finally decided it's time. We just need to finish Oliver's room off a bit first, so it will probably be in the next few weeks. Sad, but I think it will be good once I've adjusted (more so than Oliver, lol).
How is everyone going getting Father's Day presents organised? For my DH I am giving him a two-window frame - on one side it has Oliver's footprint (which was SO hard to do btw) and on the other side a nice poem I found on a thread on BB 'Walk a little slower daddy'. I'm hoping he likes it.
Hope everyone is well.
good morning laides!
peach: how'd rock in rhym go? winter enjoy it, did you?
sterla: aww that sounds like such a good fathers day pressie! YaY about the heater working! :dance: thats grate to hear! but aww about the wake ups! i know that babies sleeping can go all haywire when they're learning a new skill - to teething. :hugs: i hope you can have a nanna nap today!
AFM: been fairly boring here. getting solar pannals put in tomorrow (hopefully- they keep trying to changes dates and DH is taking a day off work...if they dont show up DH told me I can call them and blast them. nothing beats mummy rage!) we also have a MCHN appt tomorrow as well, so we'll see how big DJ's gotten! he's loving his apple oats in the mornings now. almost ate a whole tin! (plus 270mls of milk all up!) he's also worked out ( i think?) how to almost commando crawl? he's worked out the back end LOL but the arms side of things...slowly getting there! its scary. he'll be 7 months old in 6days??! where as the time gone? peach speaking about testorotone....DH thinks we're in a TWW :redface: we had some...ahem...adult fun and neather of us eather though/wanted to interupt it....twice. so DH is thinking i could be UTD. me? wouldnt have a clue...so we'll see i guess! (i dont think i am...but who knows...that'd make two, for two supprise babies!) other then that its fairly boring. for DH's fathers day i've been told to get him an MJ book and CD :rolleyes: Ohh and we get to see his brother and his wife on fatherdays day. DH and i BOTH hope they dont bring photos of their dogs again. JIC they do. im taking the album of DJ *evil laugh* i cant help it. my stupid SIL thinks dogs trump babies? i think not baby puppy (and if we are UTD she'll hate me *even more* 'cus we'll have two kids...)
Hope every one is having a good day!
:wiggle:
HIya ladies,
just popping in once again to say hi. Things are MAD around here at the mo, with us looking for a house which is 45 minutes drive from here (not in any traffic) as well as getting ready for our loing week-end away and nana's 1st babysitting job. We are both SOO looking forward to let loose and not have to worry about getting up the next day to look after Sam. I know I will miss her like crazy but mummy and daddy need some adult time!
So sorry that's all the time I have to post, seriously, got to get back to cleaning the house and start packing, or slowly putting stuff aside and call a few RE agents to organise viewings of houses.
Will catch up most likely on Tuesday and tell you all about the week-end!
