AFM: interesting weekend. FIL came over for dinner saterday and was 2hrs late (after a flat tyer and DH going over to FILs house LOOKING for him!) sunday i went and saw a friend, whilest DH went and saw his mate, whoes DP (i think she is?) had their baby at 25weeks. (the little girl is in the ICN) and then MIL and FIL rocked up - once i got home to give us a couch a friend of theirs was getting rid of (almost bran spanking new too!) DH got home and we crashed out...all whilest DJ starts teething) then today. weeeeeeeeeell i was going to hand in my letter of resignation. the boss wasnt there so i have to go back in tomorrow! i was with my mum and sister, but my sister headed off after we had lunch so mum thinks it'll be a good idea to "go shopping for a wedding outfit" uhuh. yeah. everything she picked i hated! everything i picked was too small (since when dose target size 18 = less then a 16?!?!) ended up in "big city chick" and bought a top and a small cardigen (belaio? or something) now i just need a skit (mum thinks she may have one i can borrow) but Ugh. so over it. she was pushing the pram and every time i went to she was like "no im pushing it" ...Djs my son, if i wanna push the pram i will! (one women asked her if it was her baby stupid women copped the death stare from me! but other then that. its all good here. get my blood test back tomorrow FINALY!!?! then im comming home an a) telling you all how far along i am and B) calling the hospital to book in! hehe SOO excited! I better go clean up!
hope every one is having a good day!
ello lovies!
i'm 4-5 weeks along (so i'm guessing almost 6 now) we have a bundy (the interum name for this bubba untill birth, much like DJ was "blip" hehe)
not much else to tell. hope every one is having a good day!
We've all been quiet these last few days haven't we..I just don't seem to have any time for computer at the mo, Sammy is taking all of my energy and then some! Sheesh, she just doesn't stop for one second, but I guess I'd rather have an over inquisitive baby that one thats not interested in anything...Anyway, I didn't come on here to talk about me but to catch up on personals!
Yvette: You poor thing, what an ordeal you have just been through..I just hope things goa bit smoother for you and Lauren and good on you for keeping a positive attitude through it all, I know it obviously would not have been easy for you. Just keep on truckin' sweetie and make sure you make allowances to have a bit of mummy time too.
Blip/Dansta/Bundy!! YAY, 6 weeks, thats fantastic, am so happy for you...are you gonna wait to tell peeps until 12 weeks this time around or will you be quicker..I wonder if your 2nd pregnancy will be similar to the first one..Will be great to follow Bundy's journey Go DJ for crawling around too and great news for the check up, Sammy is 8.3 kg..not sure how tall, but would dare say the same height as Daz and Oli..maybe a bit shorter.
Sterla: Go Oli on crawling!! Watched the vids on FB and let me tell you, it goes SO QUICKLY from there onwards...everyday they get better and learning at such a quick pace, it amazes me everytime I watch Sam. About baby proofing the house, I only just realised that it is only starting as they start reaching new heights and get better standing and everything, their little hands get into EVERYTHING!! DH is not so mindful of what he leaves laying around and I honestly turned my head for 2 minutes and Sammy had taken DH's wallet onto the floor ( didn't see his wallet there) and started eating the coins out of change pocket and nearly choked! So DH is in for a talking to when he wakes up cause he has not been very careful and in the morning, I always find stuff he shouldn't leave on the ground at nightime...Anyway..disgressing here! The trip away sounded like a nice time apart from the drive home. Don't let one bad experience get in the way of going out for stuff like that. Honestly, the more they do it, the better they adjust. As for swimming, I would recommend lessons, Sammy just LOVES her time in the water with dad, plus its such a nice activity for them to do together. Sure they are not actually learning how to swim, but we have been learning a lot of good ways to introduce them to water and floating, etc..anyway, my opinion
Peach: Melbourne is fun isn't it? thats great that Winter was a good little bubby...How many teeth has she got now?? Sammy is up to 8th still, with the 8th keeping going up and down. Sounds like your MG is going really well too, I miss my MG but have made enquiries and will be going to some playgroups next week to see what the mums out here are like. As for the sleeping, you do the best you can, but I must say, Sammy has been a lot harder to settle during the day too, but I do let her cry it out a bit if I know she is tired and ready to go to bed..depends on the cry (whinge or screaming) I know not everyone is comfortable with this, trust me I don't last too long either..but as she is also starting to do temper tantrums when things are not going her way, so I want to nip it in the bud.. so what I would say is that if you are planning on making any changes of how you expect her to go to sleep, I would make them now and make sure DH sticks to it too. I really think our lil clever muffin's are starting to test us and see how far they can "run" the show.
Pj: Summer's professional photos are just GORGEOUS!! Her skin seems to be a lot better too, is that pretty much under control? Well done on shopping for yourself, I am not buying any new clothes until I reack 90Kg I have decided ( 8 kg away) I totally know what you mean to about the stuff they make that aren't good for bubs, its almost like...hello people, whats the point of selling that stuff if its so harmful. Don't worry about tummy time, Summer will get there in her own time..some bubs take longer than others tahts it!
Raver: Glad to see you are still lurking around Hope all is well in your family
Okies, little bubba is awake ( after only 20 minutes, sigh...) Catch up soon xxx

: missing word
Finally - have found some time while Oliver is asleep to post... He's only been having little sleeps this week so not much time to do anything.
Dansta: That is so exciting!!! And I was very excited to see your new ticker!!! You're going to have all of us along for the ride .
Moose: Sounds like Sammy is certainly keeping you busy! She sounds like such a bright little girl .
You are definitely right about the crawling... Oliver hasn't even been crawling for a week yet, and he already seems to have perfected it and is getting faster and faster every day. I've become the big, mean mummy in the past week - I put Oliver down, he crawls to something, and I have to move him away... this weekend DH and I are baby-proofing!!!
You think swimming lessons are definitely worth it? I've heard different things from everyone - some say don't waste your money, others say go for it... I can't decide. Although, if I got DH to do them with Oliver, that would be nice for them both .
AFM: Well, as I started saying to Moose - Oliver is keeping me busy. He's crawling and rolling around so much - nappy-changing has becoming - interesting... turn around for one second and he's rolled and is crawling off in the nude!
Oliver being able to move on his own has opened up new things though... like the other day he was upset and crawled to me while he was crying for a hug! And if I'm getting ready to feed him he'll crawl over to me and (try) and crawl up on the couch! It's so much fun!
We had playgroup on Wedneday this week, and it was Messy Day - lots of paint, slime, jelly... Oliver put his hands in a big tub of jelly and then decided to eat some!
This morning I took Oliver to the pool again, and it didn't go so well this time. I'm not sure what was wrong, but he was really grizzly, and every time the big bucket on the play equipment thing filled with water and emptied (which makes a lot of noise) he'd cry even harder. He did get better after a while though... talking to the other mums, decided it may possibly be his teeth from the way he was munching on his hand and pulling at his ear. Who knows though.
Anyway, better go - Oliver has woken up... only another small sleep.
