peach: my club is GKR. I'd like to do it once a week, but if i got back into it at the level i was before then it'd be more like twice a week, as they often have speacal classes of a weekend but that'd be a while off yet...other then gradeing which is on a sunday (which again would be a while off!) i guess i realised the last few weeks how much i miss it...plus it'll also help to be 'fit' agian when TTC #2! the added plus is when DJ is 5yrs old (i think it is) he could join in too eheh (DH wont he thinks hes un-co and a slow leaner!) an amuseings story is that when i was like 8months preg a guy peeved me off at a party (DH's best mates 30th) and i was like "umm you're annoying me and whilest im preg i cant kick you in the head, but the lower ribs are soft and squishy, want me to have a crack at them insted?" *evil laugh*
Ooo i just found something that DJ likes. venilla yogart with apple (finely chopped) with a sprinkel of cinnmon! (i was eating it too :redface: ) and its good!
hope every one is having a good day!

Geez ladies!!! Hardly any action on here for a week, then I miss one night/morning and you're all chatting away without me!!! :D
1PJ: Aww, that's no good about Summer and her hearing. So, does she have any hearing problems or not? You must be so worried though! :hug: As long as she can hear though :). Lol about your DH and sister - I can imagine that being quite amusing at times.
I know what you mean about feeling a bit embarrassed when your bub is cranky. I don't care so much around other mums, cause they understand - but around other adults I sometimes wonder if they think I don't know what I'm doing, or that Oliver is a really cranky baby (which he's not). As for food shopping - I actually don't have any problems with Oliver. I make sure he's been fed and he's not too tired... and then he is so distracted by everything that's going on in the supermarket that he's fine. I'm very lucky I think :).
I'm the same with giving Oliver solids. I can't work out when to give him lunch (cause he's usually sleeping right around then), so he's still basically on 2 meals a day. Oliver has still only had fruit and vegetables, and things like bread, pasta, porridge and vita brits. I'm going to start him on yogurt soon though, and things like lentils, etc.
Dansta: Wow, that's great about Daz's night sleeping!!! I wish Oliver would do that! Having said that, Oliver is really good with his day sleeps - usually having 2, one of which is about 2 hours.
Karate sounds good! It will be good for you to have that time to yourself, and to get out of the house. Mmm, I think I need a hobby too... :rolleyes:.
Yup, I watched (well started watching) Hey Hey last night. Ah, the memories! It felt like they'd never left!
Peach: I'm here!!!
Wow, 6 teeth! Go Winter!!! Oliver still has two, though there has been quite a bit of drool the past dew days, so there could be more on the way. And commando crawling too - very impressive :D. Oliver's not quite there yet, though it's not for lack of trying. And standing :clap:. Oliver is big on standing, and has actually started pulling himself to standing if the opportunity presents itself!
Now, to answer your questions...
Yeah, I think we'll keep going to our playgroup, although we missed this week because of Oliver's cold. It's nothing fancy, but it's a reason to get out of the house, which is always good. There are heaps of playgroups in my city, but I'm just going to the one closest to me. I'm sure there would be other playgroups around you could go to that don't clash with your Rock & Rhyme? Our Rock & Rhyme has the same format every time - but different songs. I mean, there's usually ones that we heard last week, but new ones aswell.
And Oliver is still rear facing in the car. I've heard it's safer, so I'm going to do it for a while longer yet.
AFM: Well, Oliver is pretty well recovered from his first cold - just a little snotty now, and a bit of a cough. Monday was the worst day, when he had a fever :(. It was so awful - but Oliver was such a good boy throughout. I got a very, very slight cold - almost nothing really, but DH has come down with a fairly bad 'man cold'. Actually, we've ended up with DH home all this week - firstly to help me out, now he's sick. I took him into work this morning, and had just driven off when I got a phone call from DH asking me to pick him up, cause everyone at his work basically told him to go home, lol. So, it looks like he'll be home tomorrow too.
We're all fairly sleep deprived here (I think me the most though), but yesterday Oliver went down for a nap at 9am, so I went back to bed - and Oliver slept for 3 hours!!! So, DH, Oliver and I were all in bed until midday! We all needed it though.
Oliver and I went out for the first time this week today, to Rock & Rhyme - it was so nice to get out of the house and see some other mums and bubs - cause we missed meeting up with a couple of other mums and MG this week. I found out today that one of the mums from my MG is 17 weeks pregnant! She will be having this bub just before her first bub turns 1!!! It's funny though, cause her first pregnancy was through IVF, and it was a difficult pregnancy - but then she just fell pregnant naturally this time! Amazing!
We are also preparing for our first overnight trip away this weekend. I'm quite nervous, though I'm sure Oliver will be fine.
Anyway, I better go, as Oliver is awake and hungry. Hope everyone is well.

Holey Moley can you imagine being pregnant again?! Ok everyone but Dansta ;)
Do you guys rock and rhyme to a cd? Sorry just at rhyme time we do the same thing every week! Except a different book, Im thinking of making suggestions...
Dansta- I did GKR for 2 years and was in the qld state team, my Dad used to do Shotokan and have trained with him before. I really want to get Winter into a martial art when she is around 4 too!
-
Peach: No CD - just two librarians up the front, an assortment of props and a big sheet with the wordsfor each song. Everyone sings along, and no book. We usually listen to one Wiggles song too :)
-
What songs do you guys sing?? I really want to get up and move as all the Bubs tend to get restless...
Hope your having a good night! How is Oli?? Feeling better?
-
Peach: Um, we sing heaps... Little Green Frog, Little Red Wagon, Row Your Boat, I Hear Thunder, Round and Round the Garden, Incy Wincy Spider... All the songs and rhymes tend to have actions that go with them :)
Oliver is feeling much better thanks - and back to his usual 3+ night wakings :rolleyes:
-
sterla :hug: im glad oli is feeling better and i hope your DH feels better too. man flu = worst then baby cold ;)
peach OMG you did GKR as well! :jawdrop: will wonders never stop! this world is far, far too small!
AFM: i wont be on for a few days right after i posted my last post our computer screen died on its bum. we do have another one (we use as a tv lol - long story) but DH is like "i'll get a screen this weekend" so i may not be around...till sunday/monday :rolleyes:

Hey Girls :)
PJ- Every baby develops at different stages, dont be too stressed! I know what you mean about hanging out for the Bubs to have a nap, Winter just went down after an hour of me trying... so happy to have a min to chill out! As for feling like a bad Mum... your an awesome Mum! And we are all allowed to be cranky every now and again :)
Dansta- Spewing about your comp, see you back online on monday :)
Moose- OMG your still alive! Welcome back!!! How was the move? How are you and Sammy going??? Looking forward to reading your update.
Sterla- How are you lovely lady? 3 times a night when will it end??!! Im glad Im not the only one though who's bub still isnt sleeping through...
So probably wont be on till after the weekend, action packed with DPs Mums Bday tonight, his cousins 18th tmrw and visitors in between.
Weighed Winter last night for the first time in almost two months.... wait for it.... 9.5kg! OMG!!! She is getting so fat lol. I wanted to wait for longer to turn her car seat forward facing as I had also read it is safer but she just wont fit anymore, her legs are too long. So we turned it around last night and have our first drive forward facing tonight, Im excited!
Hope your all having a good day, its boiling here!
-
Peach: :jawdrop: OMG - 9.5kg!!! Winter must have a hearty appetite! My goodness woman, you must have some well-defined biceps on you!!! :rofl:.
Cool about Winter facing the other way - if she doesn't fit she doesn't fit :). I wonder how she'll like it? Enjoy your action-packed weekend.
PJ: Don't worry about getting cranky - we're allowed to get cranky from time to time - being a mummy is hard!!! I'm glad Summer had a day sleep for you today :)
Moose: You're back! Yay!!!! :happyforyou:
AFM: Ah, the sun is shining, the birds are singing... and we are all doing really well. Oliver is only sniffly and has a cough, I feel basically fine, and DH is much better today too (but still took the day off ;)). We have had a lovely day getting ready for our trip away this weekend. We also took a nice family walk up to see my Dad, as Oliver hadn't seen his Poppa all week.
Oh, and I don't think I mentioned, but my DH has bought a motorbike :(. Not happy about it - and all I see are visions of it all ending badly :( - he knows how I feel, but the only compromise we could come too was for him to do it as a 'trial'. *sigh* He's buying the bike this weekend (where we're going to), and doing the course in a couple of weekends.
Anyway, on a much lighter note - Oliver has started rolling over in his cot. Twice now we've found him on his tummy playing with his toy giraffe Alistair, lol. Cheeky lil' mite!
-
Have an awesome weekend away Sterla!
Too cute about Oli rolling :)
-
ello ladies!
Peach: WOW 9.5kg thats crazy. i concure with sterla you must have some very tonned arms! ooo tell us how the first forward faceing trip goes!!!
Sterla: ooo now the fun starts with Oli rolling in his cot! thats cute he's worked out how to do it. and as for your DH with a bike, hopefully he'll only go out on tures as apposed to rideing it every day :hug: hope your family weekend away is good :hug:
AFM: we got a new computer screen today. which i was shocked at normaly DH will "look for the best price" which can mean a few days but NOPE first one we looked at was the best (under $300 WITH an inbuilt web cam!) its as big as our "tv" screen heh. we also bought DJ a play pen which is nice for me (mainly) being able to do house work with out him rolling into the blinds/under the coffee table/into the stero cabnet.
hope every one has a good weend! :wiggle:
-
Thanks ladies!!Id go crazy without you!Hope everyones having a good weekend!!Its been nice days here!!We went shopping yesterday for a highchair,long story short a older lady i know wanted to buy us a pressy when bubs born but shes addicted to garage sales so she bought a swing but it didnt work,took me ages to tell her as felt so bad then she said she'd buy a highchair so she did but the tray was like weird sorta out way too far and slanted,looked like the position to be in if you wanted bubs out so it wasnt really any good,anyway once again didnt wanna tell the poor lady but DH went to try move the tray again after many attemps,lost his temper and broke the whole flippin tray off HAHA was quite funny,so he says ohwell thats to the dump now then,so we looked yesterday,boy i never knew there was so many to choose from!We ended up getting all flustered and left without one!I'll go have another look this week.So that was that and last night we went to my sisters for tea with some others,so Summer got to play and be entertained by her cousins which she loved and wore her out for a sleep today YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sterla-How was the weekend away?Yah for Oliver rolling cute!
Peach-what a lovely healthy bubba you have!Let us know how she goes forward facing does she like it?
-
Hey Girls!
Pj- I know what you mean about there being way too much to choose from in baby sections! The high chair we got was at target for around$90 on special its a steelcraft high and low chair and its quite good...
Dansta-Where did you get your play pen from? Bargain? Im going to start looking for a fence to stop Winter from getting into the kitchen soon I think...Hey random today at the markets there was a shotokan stall with people promoting it as a new dojo is opening in our area! I think it might be a sign, and your motivating me talking about it too...
Sterla- Having BB withdrawls?
Moose-Where was this update??!!
So we drove up to DPs folks on fri night which was the first forward facing trip... NIGHTMARE!!! DP and I were so distracted with looking and playing with Winter in the rear-view mirrors that we missed the exit to get to the gateway so we had to drive through the city in peak hour! The one hour trip took us two and a half hours and Winter grizzled and cried almost the WHOLE way. By the time we pulled into DPs folks driveway she was screaming non stop, oh my god! I was so frustrated I had to put my head out of the window at one point during the trip to chill out :doh: Anyway it was worth the trip, dinner and cake and family chats were good.
Last night we had the 18th which was good, we left pretty early to get home by 9 to get Winter to bed not that it made a difference, she was so unsettled and didnt go to bed untill 11pm! Argh! So frustrating. I actually got so frustrated I closed her door and left her cry for 10 mins, which is pretty much unheard of untill Im at the end of my tether. And then she fed at 4 and was up for the day at half 6 so DP and I are pretty tired today. Anyway!
Hope your all having a great weekend!
-
Hello :)
How is everyone today? I cant believe Im doing a double up post for once! Hellooooooo??
-
Pj: lol ther are a fair few high chairs arent there! we've got a black one - hides all the foor spillages! its also good becuase we can lower it so when DJ can eat at the table with us we can (in thoery) use it!
peach :lol: at your dubble post! i got the play pen from baby bunting. its fairly good. i wanted the bigger one but DH was like "ooh no it wont fit" which is bulldust as it could ave! silly men :p so the frount ride wasnt that good ay :( maybe seeing the cars comming towards her freaked her out! i hope she dose better for you!
:hug:
as for GKR lol, maybe it is a sign! i took it as a sign when i saw an old sempi/friend at the shops lol!
AFM: had a bad day today. not due to DJ though. its becuase my back is stuffed up! i hurt it about 3 years ago doing an appernaship (as a chef) and i stuffed it after being put in a coolroom, with a bucket of hot water with bleech in it and lets just say i looked like i'd been doing something illagal. but tomorrow is another day
hope every one is having a good one!
