Good afternoon mummies :)
Well, I don't know what's going on with Oliver, but I love it! After Rock & Rhyme this morning, Oliver was very tired and he fell asleep in the car on the way home... and then went on to sleep for 2 hours! That's practically unheard of for him! He woke up very hungry and with a very wet nappy. Then, when we went to the supermarket I noticed him looking tired, so when we got home I was sitting with him at the computer and he just seemed very tired, so I thought I'd put him to bed. I put him down, walked out, and I haven't heard a peep from him! He put himself to sleep completely on his own!!! :dance: He did that yesterday too... I'm hoping it's the start of a pattern :). Before this I always had to feed him to sleep, and before that (when he was much younger and lighter) I used to rock him to sleep. I haven't done anything different - I guess he's just learnt what to do! I'm so proud of him for being able to self-settle.
Now... if only he'd sleep through the night (or just wake once)!
It's great that he's sleeping so well, and so much... but I am now finding myself twiddling my thumbs. I'm so used to rushing around trying to get housework (and BB :p) done as quickly as possible before he wakes... now I've done it all and don't know what to do next. If he keeps it up (please!) I'll have to take up a hobby or something :). I feel like I've barely seen the little guy today though...
Peach: I have a wool cover for baby beehinds which I've lanolised (is easy to do), and I'm going to try it with a bamboo baby beehind as a night nappy tonight - I'll let you know how it goes.
Blip: That's great that you get along well with a mum from your MG. I hope I get friendly with some mums from my MG soon, cause pretty well everyone I know is too busy to see my at the moment :(. That's fantastic that everything with the paed went well! See, finally the 'professional' have realised what a great mum you are! :)
How is everyone else doing? We're a bit quiet with so many of us going away on holidays!
Mmm, now what to do...
-
Morning Girls :)
Sterla how did you go with the beehind last night? I got an email last night saying it had been posted, what the hell?! Dammit I thought it would ARRIVE in two days, not be posted in two days! Im so impatient, I cant wait any longer! Oh that will be so sweet doing baby massage at your mg. Hopefully you girls keep meeting up after next week. Our group meets at the park every week although next week we are going to the 'babes in arms' sesh of 'my sisters keeper'
Any of you girls read the book?? Its amazing!
Blip-Thats great about the pead appt and that he didnt force anything on you and Daz. Funny stuff about the elephant, you nasty mummy ;)
Moose, Yvettte, Antheia- How are you all and Bubs??
So we are still on house arrest so Winter and I are missing mg today, she seems to be getting better but Im getting worse which sucks. Trying to eat healthy and cooking with lots of garlic to get rid of it, and it dosnt seem to be making Winter gassy which is good. Had something else to say but its gone now.... :doh: Oh yeah, thats right! Baked apples for mashing for Winter last night.... DP came into the loungeroom later in the night "hey just wondering how long your leaving the apples i the oven?" 3 hours!!! We had bathed Baybay, cooked, eaten dinner and chilled out and I had completely forgotton! Luckily(in this instance) our oven is completely crap and they were ok, so this morning she tried apple, oh the facials were hilarious!
Not much else going on, Winter did her HUGE morning poo and was banana porridge from yesterday... it was sooo bad!
Hope your all well*

sterla: OOO how'd the cloth go over night? saw the pic of Oli eating/ hugalegs (i think they where called?) SOOO cute...i hope your MG keeps meeting up - its a good out-let, because for me i love having people contact and being a SAHM makes that a littler harder and becuase DH works full time he like his weeks "to himself" LOL but he's kind of got the idea that weekends to me mean PEOPLE TIME lol.
Peach: ooo FUN food poo is pritty bad. i think the worst daz has had was when we had organge spots from the pumkin/sweet spud LOL. i hope winter is feeling better - and you feel better soon too :hugs: and LOL at the baked apple. i did a simlar thing with pumkin but mine could have been made into diamonds it was THAT badly burnt LOL. my sisters keeper looks good...but im not much into movies...hope its fun!
AFM: well tis been quiet here. having a BBQ on sunday with some of DH's mates (i'm a pycho - also known as a si-kick sorry i cant spell it :rolleyes: ) i asked DH about having his mate and his son (whoes 4) over for a BBQ and maybe another friend (male) and a girl friend of DH's best mate (whoes in japan!...the guy not her LOL) and what happens? DH mobile rings - its his mate LOL he's bought a house near-ish us and wanted to catch up LOL. Ohh and he told DH his Xdp is UTD and he's getting 'the snip" (he's 29 and has one son to an Xdp, 'j' and now another on the way to this xDP 'a') the sad part? i'm more excited about seeing his son then seeing him! hah. so i have something to look forward to this weekend! (plus i told DH daz is 6 months on friday thus we need something to calibrate it!)
Ohh DH and i finely talked about TTC#2 a little more in depth. we agreed that we'll 'try with out trying' dec till end of feb then from june really 'try' which sounds good...and i'm kind of hopeing (but shhhh!) we eather do fall strait away (it's be cool to be able to make a speech at my 21st and be like "ohh and by the way...mum, dad, FIL, MIL you'll be grandperants again!" or after june so i can drink at my 21st haha. any whoo i better go get dressed...
Hope every one is having a good day!

Hi everyone.
My name is Ann and I just thought I'd join this group as I have twin girls born 15 Feb 2009. Their names are Mae and Hana. I've also got an older daughter Ella who is almost 3 years old.
Chat soon
Ann
-
Welcome Ann! Your twins are gorgeous :) and I love their names.
Just a quick one as I'm typing one handed... Peach - I finally used a bamboo baby beehind with the wool cover last night on Oliver, and it worked! I wasn't expecting it to, but it did. Oliver's clothes weren't wet, and the wool cover just needs airing out. The nappy was very wet. So, I guess you can try it out with Winter and see how you go.
BBL for more.
-
ann: :wave: welcome! you got too beautiful girls there!
sterla: YaY for no wet clothes in the moring! :dance:
AFM: quiet here. tomorrow is a BBQ with friends. (looking forward to seeing our friends4y/o boy most of all! and having a few drinks (DH is playing "daddy" hahaha) i'll be back later.
hope every one is having a good weekend (thus far!) :wiggle:
-
Good evening Ladies!!
Welcome Luua! Your twins are too cute, stoked to have another baby buddy(even though its sometimes impossible to keep up with you all!) :)
Sterla- Good to hear the nappy went well, my fluff BETTER arrive in the mail tmrw or Im going to cry like a baby. Hope you and Oli are well*
Blip- How was the bbq??
We went up to see the families this weekend, saw my family yesterday then stayed at DPs folks last night. Was good to spend family time, today at the big family gathering Winter got passed around all day, which is fine by me and she is a social butterfly it was great, everyone loves her which makes me happy.
She is now sitting up completely on her own which is great, and easily rolling from back to front, front to back and is constantly talking and blowing rasberries. We are both healthy now too which is soooo good! DP is a big mess now though which is bad.
Not much else going on that I can think of, hope your all having a great weekend :)
-
Good evening ladies :)
Peach: That's awesome that Winter is sitting up now, and rolling all over the place! It's amazing how quickly these bubs learn new things, and how quickly they perfect it. Oliver started sitting up only a week ago, but he's already just about perfected it. When he lost balance a week ago he'd fall back, where as now he can save himself from falling 90% of the time.
Sounds like you had a nice weekend with the families :). It's good to catch up with everyone from time to time isn't it.
Glad you and Winter are feeling better. P.S. I love your new ticker pic of Winter! She's gorgeous.
Blip: How did the barbecue go? I noticed on FB that you had a few nice drinkies ;). Hope you had a blast!
AFM: Pretty quiet weekend here. We had afternoon tea at one of my friend's yesterday which was nice. She has just started a job, and so is quite busy now. Great for her - sad for me, as she is the one friend I have who lives close by and could usually count on to meet up once a week. Not anymore :(. *sigh*
Oliver had his first taste of pear today. Hard to judge how well he liked it. He kept pulling faces and spitting bits of it out, but then kept opening his mouth for more. I'm wondering if maybe he liked the taste but not the texture?
Last official MG tomorrow. I'm looking forward to baby massage :).
Hope everyone is well and had a great weekend.
-
peach: i hope your fluffy mail arrives for you tomorrow! or i shell hand you some e-tissues! glad winter had a good day...how come your DP is a mess? drinking too much or sick?
Sterla: Ooo baby massarge is SOOO fUN! aww about your friend and going back to work! hopefully the MG will keep going and you'll be able to catch up with them! lol at oli and pear. darren isnt fust on it. mind you he only eats apple when it has farix in it - as it makes it thicker (he hates watery purees! i bought a hines one -first time) and ended up putting farix in it so he'd eat it!)
AFM: BBQ went really well! had a blast! DH was on "daddy" time so i got to have a few drinkies! had DH's mate & son over. plus another one of his friends and one of my friends (Well Dh's mates Ex DP, but her and i are friends and his mate is in japan!) and we all had fun. me and DH's mate (g) ended up cacking our selfs at in inside joke (well it is now LOL) about tattos. by the end of it - we could look at each other and just laugh! which was fun, as for DHs mate (a) we had a few good laughs (mainly when it came to me saying "ohh i can get you drunk lemme poor you a drink" which came out SOOO wrong...but my friend (L) got it!) but it was a good night and maybe next month once A has moved into his new place we'll have another BBQ (and i may even leave Daz with his gran and pop (DH's mum and dad...) for a few hours...but we'll see...but you know something? it felt good to have a drink and just relax, is been along time since i've drank this much (lets see 3 jim beam and colas, one 8% engery drink two bundy and colas....) and not felt bad or have them streched out over 8 hrs (it was from 1:30pm untill 6) any whoo i better toddle off...hope every one has a good day tomorrow and i :pray: i dont end up with a hang over! lol

-
Hi :)
Raver: Yay about being all moved and settled! :dance: Haha yes, you do have a lot of reading to do!!! How is Bella going?
Blip: That's great that you had a great time. Having a big laugh like that is the best :).
Peach: Did you get your fluffy mail? We tried Oliver in the bamboo BBH with the wool cover again last night, and still no leaks. Hopefully it might work for you too?!
How are you all? Moose? Antheia? 1PJ: Yvettemj? Luua? Anyone else I might have missed?
AFM: We had our last official MG today - sad, but it was great. Lots of talking, almost everyone brought a plate of food. Oliver was in a good mood, and was being a little social butterfly talking and trying to touch all the other babies (he almost kissed one other little boy there, uh oh! lol). We have made plans to meet up in a fortnight at a baby-friendly cafe. I really hope it keeps up!
Not much else happening here... I just wish weekends lasted longer so I had DH home with me :(.
Hope everyone is well :)
-
'bow: YaY your back! glad you've settled in! hows Bella? and logan (i think?) keeping you busy?
Sterla: aww i hope your MG keeps going. LOL and Oli almost kissing another boy! at least thats friendly all the boys and my MG seem to do is slap each other LOL Oh and pull the only little girls hair (because its soo long!) aswell! and i agree. i think we should partion the government to make weekends a three day thing. two days with DH at home is never enough!
AFM: no hang over :dance: just tired. but well worth it. still laughing about the whole tattoo thing as well...DH had a busy day at work. so i didnt seem him from 5:40am untill 4:20pm :( but i guess thats work. for you...
-
Good evening!
Raver, hello! Was wondering where you have been, good to hear from you! How are the little ones?
Blip- Great to hear you dont have a hangover and you had a good time and thank you you can bust out the tissues for me cos
I DIDNT GET MY NAPPIES!!!!
Cant bloody believe it, Im spewin. Called the post office today again and nothing. Sterla how long did it take for yours to arrive?
Funny about Oliver kissing the boys, heheh. Glad to hear your mg was good. Did you get everyones email details?? I know what you mean about wanting more time with DH, its hard sometimes flying solo. I crave time with DP.
Moose- How was Melbourne??
So Im meeting up with a bunch of girls from BB tommorrow which should be good, nice to meet new people. Not too much else going on, Winter is fast asleep which is nice and my stupid cat is sitting on me in the most akward position making it really hard to see the keyboard to type :)
Hope your all having a good night :)
-
Peach: Oh no! about the nappies! :( Mine didn't take long - maybe 3 days? I hope they show up today. Meeting up with BB members sounds awesome. I hope you and Winter have a great time.
Blip: Glad you didn't have a hangover ;).
AFM: Oliver and I had the best sleep last night! He went down at 8.30pm (I went to bed at 10pm) and he slept through till 3am. Had a feed and then slept through till 7.15am! Now, if he only did that every night!
It's my little sister's birthday today (she's 15), so I have to buy a cake and do a few other things for when my family comes over tonight.
Hope everyone has a great day :)
-
Oh Sterla Im so envious! Well done Oli on the good sleep, you must have felt sooo good when you woke up??
So DP picked me up this arvo and we pulled into the driveway, I asked if my nappies came he said " just a letter about such and such blah blah" so I get out of the car and am yelling in the driveway "I DONT CARE ABOUT THAT RUBBISH I WANT MY NAPPIES I CANT BELIEVE IT rahrahrah" and he says "well you better go look in the front door then" and so the postie had left a slip and there was cheering and happiness all round. Heheh turd. They are awesome and I double hot-washed them but am too impatient to do them the required 5 times, I simply MUST put her butt in them tommorrow.
BB meet up went well, tmrw going to the movies with my usual mums and invited todays mums along which should be good.
Hope your all going well :)
-
Peach - great about the sitting and rolling. Our girls aren't doing any of that at all. They can sit for 10secs if we're lucky. What nappies are these?
We have some news too. Hana got her first tooth on Sunday. Whoohoo! Finally all that dribble and chewing has revealed a shiney new tooth. Mae is not far behind. I forgot how razor sharp new teeth are! I'm going to have to watch her on the booby (her older sister loved to bite)
Ann
-
Oh a cute little toof! Nice! On the bottom??
I ordered some baby beehind all in ones (and covers for my terry's)as Im using terry squares at home but wanted something easy for when we go out and about. Im so stoked I converted to cloth(only about 4 weeks ago now abouts) best desision ever. I dont think I want to do mcn's full time though I quite like the old school terry's at home as they dry so quick and are so cheap, 12 for the price of one mcn but hey everyone is different and i am...... cutting a short story VERY long here heheh :lol:
-
sterla: :dance: about Oli's sleep! such a good boy, now keep it up for mummy! how was your sisters birthday? Oli give her lots of gummy grins??
Lu: (do you mind being called that?) YaY on teethiepegs! daz cant sit up for 10seconds on his own but he's a roller! im sure the girls will do that, i have to admit i'd be struggleing with twins and a toddler! and you're still b/fing them! well done :clap: i admire that ALOT!
peach: YaY for nappies! im glad they arrived for you. and LOL at grumping in your drive way...at least they'll know your happy!
AFM: well its been quiet here again. im thinking daz is the only tooth-less one here! and no real signs of any comming up he's funny he wont chew on teething toys rather on Mr Pineapple's foot (toy from his play mat) and its soo icky after it all wet and sqwishy! but i still love him to bits. we watched video we took of him at just over a month old. he looked so skinny...i felt horrable...but DH said i was doing my best - expressing and trying to bottle feed...and it wasnt my fault...but :dunno: some times i feel sick thinking about what happend. i still beat myself up about the whole 'failure to thrive' thing as well...but hes ok now, which is the main thing!
we have MG tomorrow and before that daz has his 6month jabs :( poor thing i feel so, so sorry for him each time he has them....i think i'll be more scared as such about the 12 month ones - a women i worked with lost her daughter after them (going back 24-25 years now) and thats always stuck with me...but im sure he'll be fine...
Ohh and im hopefully once i've done the tax return getting him a play pen! its got like portacot sides on it so if i have to leave daz in a room he wont roll in to the blinds (he did that today) or 'hide' under the coffee table! (he did that friday!)
i better head of and get some sleep!
hope every one is having a wonderful day! :wiggle:
