Sorry it's taken me so long to get back on here... we ended up having quite a full-on weekend.
Okay, where do I start?
Well, last Thursday (as I mentioned) was DH's and my 4 year wedding anniversary. DH surprised me by taking the day off . He went out and got pastries for breakfast, and also came back with a big bunch of flowers. DH came into Rock & Rhyme with Oliver and I too, which was nice.
Friday was my birthday, and DH had that day off too. In the morning we went to the pool so DH could finally see Oliver in the water. That was fun. In the afternoon we went for a drive. That night we had a couple of friends and my family over for cake. Got some good presents: DH I got a fancy nappy bag which I'd been after... but the colour of the bag was completely different to how it looked online (a beige/stone colour rather than the white/cream it looked). So, we've sent it back. I also got some nice coasters, a decorative paperweight, a necklace, a book, a willow tree angel figurine, and a few gift vouchers.
On Saturday I was preparing myself to leave Oliver for the first time. DH and I were going out for lunch for my birthday/our anniversary, and leaving Oliver with my parents while we went. We took Oliver there, dropped him off and were driving to the cafe for lunch... then I got a phone call. Arimeh (from here on BB) had gone into labour and I had promised to watch her two kids while she gave birth... From the sound of it, Arimeh was mid-contraction when she called! So, DH and I drove straight to Arimeh's house. Poor Arimeh was well and truly in labour when we got there! DH and I looked after her two kids A and M, and after an hour or so DH went and picked Oliver up, and also brought my sister back with him. So, that worked out well - we just took a kid each . It was about 2pm when we went there, and about 4.5 hours later we got a message from Arimeh saying the baby had been born!!! She had a little girl . Her DH came back at 8pm so we could go home.
On Sunday we bought presents for Arimeh and her new bub, then in the afternoon we were lucky enough to go and meet the new baby - she wasn't even a day old! OMG - I can't believe how small she was. You forget don't you.
Which brings us to today. Today I've been busy catching up on housework, doing a few jobs in town, and dropping off some food to Arimeh.
I honestly feel like I need another weekend to recover - I'm so exhausted.
Sorry no personals right now - I'm quite tired. I'll be back to do them tomorrow .
sterla-sounds like you had a lovely anniversary and birthday!!!Wow exciting about Arimeh,that was so kind of you and your Dh to baby sit when it was your time,i bet she appreciated it!!
well as for me nothing much being as i posted not long ago haha,feeling sick here as once again ive pigged out on choccys heehee,why am so hopeless i ask myself?Didnt do much yesterday was soooo bored and felt i had to get out being as id been home so many days so i just took lunch over to my sisters and she had a play with summer for a while,then i waas out all this morning went the shops and chemist as they have cheap nappies etc then i went for coffee and muffin with a friend yumo!Now im home,summers been asleep a while tired out from the morning.I have my dad and his new wife staying so we doing a nice meal tonight and going out tomorrow so that will be nice,summer loves it.I got some of that complete sleep to try as im sooo over not sleeping so i'll give it a try hopefully it works!!Ok i can hear someones awake now better go byeee
Dansta: Yay for DJ crawling!!! And I know about the curls! Aren't they so cute??? Oliver has started getting curls in his hair too. It's like, mmm - not sure if the big eyes and fat rolls are cute enough... let's throw in some curls for good measure! How are you feeling? When is your scan?
PJ: Sorry - no one was here to talk to you! Yeah - it really pays to get out of the house! I get really stir-crazy if I'm home too many days in a row. I like being busy. Hope you and Summer are well.
Peach and Moose: How are you two doing?
AFM: I have a bit of a cold *sniff*, and so does Oliver and DH. Nothing too serious though. I feel a little bit yucky, and a bit sniffly - that's about it. Oliver just seems to have a runny nose so far. DH has a full-on man cold though . This is actually my first cold in, gee, over a year!!!
We've had a fairly quiet week. Went to the pool with a few mums from MG on Tuesday, but then got my cold Tuesday night - so haven't done anything much the last few days. I managed to drag Oliver and myself to playgroup at my lil sister's school this morning, which Oliver seemed to enjoy.
I think Oliver might be having a growth spurt, cause he's really got his appetite back (after being off his food for a week or so), and has also been having really long day sleeps. Saw MIL yesterday too, and she said Oliver looked like he'd grown heaps.
Basically I'm just trying to take it easy until this stupid cold passes. I hate not feeling 100% - everything is much harder, especially with a bub to look after.
Anyway, I'm going to go and get back to reading my trashy book while Oliver sleeps!
Sterla: on helping out arimeh! thats so wonderful of you todo that! wanna come here when i have my second im glad you semi got that nappy bag (i hope they send you the right one!) and aww at having the first 'family cold' and LOL dh's always seem to get "man flus" dont they? no such thing as a simple cold! hope every one gets better soon!
AFM: DJ is still a deranged seal cub, who i think will eather end up working as an add designer OR in retail as he LOVES the catologs we get. we currently have a Woolies one strewn all over the floor. but he's happy! now for a rant LOL had my mum and dad over Wednesday. my mum spent almost the WHOLE time telling me how to arrange my house becuase "you'll have two babys before you know it" DUH IM THE ONE WHOES UP THE DUFF?!?! she didnt like the sound of me doing the whole co-sleeping/sleeping in another room to DH for the first month or two. she also said that i wouldnt be able to give DJ 100% attention, which i know but i fully intend on useing my sling again so i CAN sit in the floor with DJ and play - mums getting DJ a convertable bike thingy that goes from 10 months thorugh to 24 - so i'll *hopefully* be able to get out and take DJ on a walk with bundy in the sling. Ohh and her nose was out of joint when i told her MIL and FIL would be looking after DJ whilest we have our first scan (its at 9:30am) MIL and FIL live ohh 10mins away, my mum and dad? almost 20 - and in peak hour? 30. but i told mum that the next scan they'd be looking after DJ - whilest DJ isnt overly mobile its easyer on the IL's to look after him, FIL is almost 72. where as my dad is almost 62. but she can get over it if the scan had of been later id have taken DJ with us but i also have to have a blood test after it! but i know why - my mums mum (nan) used to watch my sister and I when we where little. my mum expected the same i think, but she'll get over it. Ohh and last night we saw them too. she made the comment that i wont be able to get onto the floor to play with DJ at the end of the pg - i was on the floor at 42 weeks on fit ball, i'll be fine!but i think she's compairing me being UTD to her - she was 36 when she had me i'll be 21 when i have this bub - just a small age differance
Hope every one is having a good day!!
Pj: poor summer, im sure she got a shock! as would you have! your a good mumma though she's getting more mobile becuase you've helped her!
Sterla-sorry you guys arent feeling so good,its so hard when your not feeling well and still looking after everyone,especially with the man flu too wow!its funny i read your post about how Olivers been off food and now eating alot again,summers been the same,off heer food for a week or so now is eating heaps!!
Dansta-mums hey!!haha!they forget i think sometimes that alot has changed since there day.Like you say your alot younger too..Everyone has there opinions too i guess they all mean well just sometimes get up our noses,you gotta do whats right for you,its your house,your family etc your the one i reckon well thats how i feel,people tell me i should do this or shouldnt do that but at end of day we the mums so its up to us and we the ones who have to do it all.you cope sooooo well,i wish i could handle everything like you!Made me laugh about the nose out of joint thing,my MIL is like that with summer.
AFM- im having a real bad day,feel like bursting into tears,summers been awful all day crying and winging,shes soooooo tired but wont sleep,she'll have barely half hour and wake up screaming actually yeh the longest shes had is half hour shes been in her cot for like hour and half now and no proper sleep just keeps waking after few minutes crying,been horrible all day i dont know whats wrong with her,she was up all night too,im sooo tired,havent slept properly in dunno how long,sometimes i dont think i can do this anymore,sorry ladies sounding so dismall
Are you ok? It's not always easy is it? If you feel like crying, sometimes, letting it out and having a good cry can help too! I can't remember if you are married or not, but can someone maybe come and help you look after Summer to come over tonight or tomorrow and take over for a few hours? Your sis maybe? Just so you can have a few hours sleep, there is nothing wrong with having a bit of a break. When mummy is not happy, usually the family is not happy, so it is important that you also look after yourself. Have you tried yoga meditation? or even going to yoga class, I always find it really calms me and re-balances me.
Poor Summer, is it hot by any chance up there at the moment? I know Sammy just can't sleep in the heat ( as we found out last Saturday night when out with friends?)
Did Summer maybe eat something new in the last couple days? Or been constipated and maybe has a tummy ache? I really hope she settles for you soon. Sending you big hugsxxxxx
Dansta: Haha, yes I agree, I think mums do forget but in the end they mean well and you'll most likely do the same thing to your daughter ( maybe if Bundy is a girl!!) I don't want to pull the "age" thing on you but you will be AMAZED at how much you start resembling your parents the older you get..it's frightening, I hear my mum all in the time in me now! haha. I am sure that she will get over not looking after DJ for the scan, after all, you do have to share him around. It does suck though when they lay the guilt trip on you...so hard to keep everyone happy. I have no doubt that you will not neglect DJ and that you will be a great mum to your 2 little munchkins. I do wish I was 21 sometimes let me tell ya!
Sterla: Oh noes!!! Not a cold, a family one to boot as well! Hope you guys feel better a lot sooner than not. What trashy book are you reading? I somehow just can't imagine you reading thrashy books! LOL Just to show you, you can never judge the cover of a book right? I am glad Oliver is not off his foods anymore, it would have been a bit worriesome eh? It could have been this cold coming on.. Has he made any attempts to touch the Xmas tree yet? Sammy is mesmerised, but has not touched it as of yet and its on the ground but the look on her face was just so awesome when she saw the tree all light up, we caught it on camera too ( pity I didn't have my pj pants on, otherwise I'd post it on FB! LOL I am sure that will make for a nice 21st..Oh yeah nice one mum, no pants!! Haha
Peach: What;s up little missy? Hows fat chops? How did you cope with the heat wave??
AFM: well, what a busy week, does it ever stop? We went to my DH's cousin last Saturday and it was SO FREAKIN HOT out there, no pool and their air con is localised in the living room and Sammy's room must have been at least 35C stifling hot. tried to have her sleep in the pram but even inside the lounge, she just couldn't settle. Went outside for a walk when a breeze picked up, and Nah just would not go to sleep, she finally went down around 9pm, it was such a mission...but poor poppet has got her mummy canuck blood in her too, she is just not good with heat at all, neither am I. So we decided that on Xmas day if it is as hot as that, we are going to drive home instead cause DH's aunty has got no air con and I am not putting her through that again. I met up with a fellow BB'er this week, SUnshine, she was awesome and I think we kinda clicked. We are catching up again next Tuesday, was nice to meet someone new. I also started up my driving lessons again and it is SO MUCH easier in an auto, should have done it months ago! anyway, looks like I should be sweet to get my P's by March which is when my L's end and I don't have to go onto the 150 hours. Sammy is having such a huge developmental growth still, she is pickling things up so quickly, it's really amazing. It does go both ways though, more undertsanding = also more tantrums when mum is not doing something that Sammy wants! LOL but she'll get over that soon enough! haha The rest of the week just flew by as usual. Anyway, enough rambling, am starving an need to make myself something to eat. xxxx
Pj cry if you need to and tell DP you need a nap or a bath or a lovely hot shower - on your own just to relax and be the bestest mummy you can be. maybe summers got some teethies on the way? i've read it can hurt them to lay down when its happening? we're here if/when you need us
Mosse: i can understand at some point i'll be like my mother, but shes compairing how she felt when she was UTD with me looking after my sister, she was 36 when she had me - i'll be 21 so my body is totaly differant to what hers would have been. but yeah, she'll get over it. she has no choice aww at sammys tantrums she'll grow out of it im sure, and be more chillaxed like her mumma! as i SOO feel her pain (and yours) in the heat!DJ is the same too!! poor mites..
AFM: DJ is commando crawling all over our lounge room now, chaseing the catologs we leave on the floor for him (cheapest toy we have LOL) and just starting to explore, but he hasnt left the carpet yet - hes whacked the floor boards with his hands a few times, they make a differant noise so he hasnt gone on them yet (about 75% of our house is floor boards with bedrooms carpeted)
Ooo better go some ones waking up!
Dansta: Lol about DJ's obsession with catalogues! It's always something like that, isn't it? You can have hundreds of toys, and they'll always go for something else. Oliver's favourite pastime is pulling books off our bookshelf, or DVD's out of our TV cabinet! Sorry you're having a hard time of it with your mum. I think our mums must forget what it was like being a new mum. 11 weeks pregnant!!! Wow, you're gonna have a second bub before we know it! And I've just started getting clucky recently... I wanted to wait to have a bigger gap between bubs, but now I'm not so sure. Mind you, I don't even know if I can get pg atm, as AF still hasn't returned.
PJ: I'm so sorry you were having an awful day. I've had days like that too, you're not alone . How are you and Summer now?
Moose: Lol - well, it's a trashy book by my standards - "L.A. Candy" by Lauren Conrad (who apparently is on some show called The Hills?) It was a birthday present. It's okay - but no great work or literature by any means! After I read this I have 3 more books to read - two girly comedy/romances, and on vampire book!
We are over our family cold now, pretty well. It wasn't very bad at all actually, Oliver only really had a runny nose as far as I could tell. It was a good excuse to take it easy for once though.
Oliver has had a few goes at the Christmas tree, but he really can't reach, so it's all good. He does try and eat bits of tinsel that always end up on the floor though.
I know what you mean about the hot weather - I don't deal with it very well either. Come and move to Tassie - it's much cooler here (most of the time).
That's great that you met a fellow BBer! I bet there are heaps that live nearby since you're in Sydney. There aren't many members here in Tassie, but we try and all meet up every now and then. Go Sammy! I know what you mean about the developmental spurts! Oliver seemed to have a physical spurt around 8 months when he started crawling, pulling himself to standing and walking around furniture. Now he's in the middle of a language spurt. Every day we notice new word he understands, and new sounds he says - his most recent sound is 'g' - and it sounded like he said 'good' last night, lol.
Peach: Where are you girly? I hope you're well.
AFM: We had a fairly quiet week due to our cold Missed Playgroup and Rock & Rhyme and the pool. Friday night we went out for tea for DH's work Christmas dinner. Oliver came too, and there was another little one there too (a little girl who has just turned one). We went to the bosses house beforehand. Didn't get to restaurant until 7.45pm (already past Oliver's bedtime). I tried a few times to get Oliver to sleep, but he was just far too interested in what was going on. Everyone got quite merry, except for me and the other b/f mum, and Oliver was so tired by the end of the night that he was at that hysterical, giggly stage! We didn't leave until after 10pm, and then I drove home with a drunk DH in the backseat entertaining the hysterically tired Oliver! It was so funny!!!
This weekend has been quiet. I've been trying to catch up on housework, and Oliver has been trying to catch up on sleep.
Anyway, it sounds like Oliver is waking up - so I better go. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
My goodness its been a while hey? How is everyone going? Things here have been quite good except its so hot already today and I think this week is going to be a scorcher.
Weekend just gone we had DPs work party on the sat, and we left Chunks with m....
Damn! She has just woken up! Bugger, I shall return during the arvo nap
Ok Im back! Although my lap top is crapping itself so it will be a miracle if I can post this in one piece. Anyway, where was I?
DP's work party ended up being heaps of fun, my folks stayed oer the fri night and drove us there on sat so they could watch Fat chops at our house. After expressing for two weeks, I ended up with three nice big bottles for her.... which she refused to drink! I could not believe it! Mum said she wouldnt take them from a sippy cup either. So she just had food and water for the day. I think DP might have given her one that night but I cant remember... yes I was highly intoxicated. It was great to go out with DP, it was our 5 year anniversary that day too, and the first time we have partied together since april last year so we made the most of it.
Winter is happy and well, although her temper tantrums are becoming a bit more dramatic. She throws her head back and everything! Lol, I really dont know how I should be dealing with it...?? She is now taking steps whilst holding onto things and is copying sounds after I make them, like snake hissing and horse bbbrrraaah etc. Its so awesome too, yesterday she sat while I read her 3 books in a row and didnt try to grab them or anything, just shuffled closer and sat with her hands on her knees, sooo cute!!!
Sterla- Im glad to hear you had a good birthday, has your nappy bag been replaced yet? That is so nice of you to help with Arimeh! Is her baby adorable??? Making you clucky yet? Oh hang on I just read what you said to Dansta, so there you go! As for the books and dvd's we have had to move the bookshelf into DP's study to keep Piglet away from them, does Oliver like eating the books?
Dansta- Wow I cant believe your into 2nd trimester already! Have you had your scan? How exciting Daz is crawling! Yay
Pj- Its sooo horrible when they fall off something hey. Winter fell off our bed a few months back and I was sooooo terrified and shaking all over, dont be so hard on yourself though it happens to the best of us Does Summer fall asleep in her pram at all? Big hugs to you, it sounds like you have been having a hard time atm Ill PM you too with my location!
Moose- Hahaha too funny about the no-pants xmas tree light up Ah yes temper tantrums, it feels like they just started out of nowhere! How do you react to Sammy? I need advice! I dont know whether I should just ignore Winter or whether she needs attention?? And I am struggling with the heat again. Last week wasnt so bad but its crap again now.
That is so great you have met someone nice from BB, I have seen Sunshine around actually. Hope yor meet up goes well today
Hi ladies!!Thanks so much for all your lovely replys,they made me teary they did!!i think sometimes we just really need to let it out and im so grateful that you are always here!Hope you know im always here for you all too!!!The last day or 2 have been great!Summers been her normal self and making me feel bad for getting upset with her!I took her to my mums best friends place today,sshe lives with her daughter and she has a 3 month old and a 2 year old,so summer had a good time playing.
Peach-Sorry!ive been meaning to empty my inbox,i'll get onto that!!!Sounds like you had fun,so good you got to go out just you and Dp,i think me and DH are due for a nice night out on our own heehee.Thats great you got all that milk!It just amazes me,sounds daft i know but since i had such trouble booby feeding i admire anyone that does it haha sorry sounds weird,i mean my hats off to ya!oh what a little darling winter is listening to the books and taking 2 steps!!wow!Oh and i hear you about the temper tantrums i dont know what to do either,ive been trying to ignore them but not sure if thats right either or if theres alot i go oiy or soemthing and then she gives me a big cheeky grin and starts laughing soooo cute.oh how hard to be mad at them!!!We are trying to teach summer "NO"since shes a bit more mobile now,well she thinks whats a funny joke that is!!!as if i can hear her saying!
sterla-that was funny,i could imagine my own DH being drunk and entertaining summer,cute!Sounds like you had a nice time though.How are you feeling now over your cold?
Dansta-summer has a catalogue fetish too,loves them!!There great entertainers hey?
moose-I hear you with the heat,its gotta be a awful joke?Summers the same,she does not cope in the heat,she is such a hot body all the time too i feel for her!hey i bought her a little paddling pool too haha i just remembered der whats the use of it just sitting there,its not huge and was only cheap but i thought might be nice oh dear im going off track here um....oh oh yeh i have only ever had my auto license,ive been driving years and its never been a problemo,i just couldnt get the whole manual thing!Thanbks for all your advice and concern,i still dont know what it was but after you mentioned tummy ache,she had a few real green poos and she never has them si wander if it was that,i just i dont know,i think your right,i feel guilty asking anyone or you know to have a break but i think i need it your right we do and happy mum makes happy family,ive been really trying too to make time for myself a bit in some ways it all gets too much otherwise,dont get me wrong Dh is great but he works alot and he works on the roof and comes home threw the week absolutely stuffed so i feel bad asking him,i mean usually hes in bed early threw the week so any rough days or nights its always been me dealing with it all as i know he works threw the day i feel too guilty etc but things are better,im feeling alot better in myself too,heck i really raved on there sorry!!!!

My goodness we're a slack bunch, aren't we!?!?! lol
How is everyone?
Dansta: How are you? Have you had your scan? I noticed your ticker jumped a little (yes, I am stalking your pg ticker!). I suppose this means word is out about Bundy then? I'm so excited for you (can you tell?). How nice that DJ will have a little brother or sister soon.
PJ: OMG - the way Summer moves sounds hilarious!!! It doesn't matter how they move though - it's them wanting to explore the world around them that is important... and it sounds like she is .
Peach: Sounds like you had a good night at your DP's work dinner . I haven't had much more than a small glass of wine since... well, since I fell pg with Oliver! I'd probably be a really cheap drunk now cause it's been so long! Happy Anniversary to you and your DP .
Oh dear about the tanties! Oliver hasn't... yet, and I'm hoping it will stay that way .
Moose: How are you and Sammy?
AFM: DS and I went to our first 1st birthday party today. One of the bubs from my MG. So, now two bubs from my MG are one. There is another little girl turning one in January... and then Oliver is next! It's just too fast *sniff* Where did our little babies go?
I was sick very briefly on Friday night... No idea where it came from, but I started feeling a bit yuck in the tummy, and then about an hour later vomited up the contents of my stomach. Had some water, fed Oliver (he'd woken up), then as soon as he went back down, vomited up the water I'd just drank. I felt really exhausted and drained the next day, but no tummy problems, and now today I'm completely fine. Luckily DH and Oliver haven't got it, though I was nice enough to pass it on to my lil sister .
What else have I been up to??? Well, had the usual: playgroup and Rock & Rhyme, but apart from that haven't been very busy.
Oliver is good. Sleeping like crap as usual, but other than that is good. I just can't get over how much he is doing and learning every day! I mean, there's just too much to even write about. The latest (and funniest) is his high pitched, excited sounding 'dadadas' he does, where he shuts his eyes and screws up his face from the effort of it, lol!
Oh, and he's getting close to standing on his own. He had for 5 seconds or so once or twice now. I think it's more of a confidence thing with him though.
Anyway, I better go. My main motivation for coming on here was to get us all started talking again - it's much too quiet in here!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend with their little ones.

. He went out and got pastries for breakfast, and also came back with a big bunch of flowers. DH came into Rock & Rhyme with Oliver and I too, which was nice.
Yay for DJ crawling!!! And I know about the curls! Aren't they so cute??? Oliver has started getting curls in his hair too. It's like, mmm - not sure if the big eyes and fat rolls are cute enough... let's throw in some curls for good measure! How are you feeling? When is your scan?
. This is actually my first cold in, gee, over a year!!!
becuase "you'll have two babys before you know it" DUH IM THE ONE WHOES UP THE DUFF?!?! she didnt like the sound of me doing the whole co-sleeping/sleeping in another room to DH for the first month or two. she also said that i wouldnt be able to give DJ 100% attention, which i know but i fully intend on useing my sling again so i CAN sit in the floor with DJ and play - mums getting DJ a convertable bike thingy that goes from 10 months thorugh to 24 - so i'll *hopefully* be able to get out and take DJ on a walk with bundy in the sling. Ohh and her nose was out of joint when i told her MIL and FIL would be looking after DJ whilest we have our first scan (its at 9:30am) MIL and FIL live ohh 10mins away, my mum and dad? almost 20 - and in peak hour? 30. but i told mum that the next scan they'd be looking after DJ - whilest DJ isnt overly mobile its easyer on the IL's to look after him, FIL is almost 72. where as my dad is almost 62. but 
she can get over it if the scan had of been later id have taken DJ with us but i also have to have a blood test after it! but i know why - my mums mum (nan) used to watch my sister and I when we where little. my mum expected the same i think, but she'll get over it. Ohh and last night we saw them too. she made the comment that i wont be able to get onto the floor to play with DJ at the end of the pg - i was on the floor at 42 weeks on fit ball, i'll be fine!but i think she's compairing me being UTD to her - she was 36 when she had me i'll be 21 when i have this bub - just a small age differance 
your a good mumma though she's getting more mobile becuase you've helped her!
aww at sammys tantrums she'll grow out of it im sure, and be more chillaxed like her mumma! as i SOO feel her pain (and yours) in the heat!DJ is the same too!! poor mites..
Wow, you're gonna have a second bub before we know it! And I've just started getting clucky recently... I wanted to wait to have a bigger gap between bubs, but now I'm not so sure. Mind you, I don't even know if I can get pg atm, as AF still hasn't returned.
Missed Playgroup and Rock & Rhyme and the pool. Friday night we went out for tea for DH's work Christmas dinner. Oliver came too, and there was another little one there too (a little girl who has just turned one). We went to the bosses house beforehand. Didn't get to restaurant until 7.45pm (already past Oliver's bedtime). I tried a few times to get Oliver to sleep, but he was just far too interested in what was going on. Everyone got quite merry, except for me and the other b/f mum, and Oliver was so tired by the end of the night that he was at that hysterical, giggly stage! We didn't leave until after 10pm, and then I drove home with a drunk DH in the backseat entertaining the hysterically tired Oliver! It was so funny!!!
