Hi Girls,

Well I have been a busy girl today cooked 2 quiches,a zuchini slice, cornflake kisses, choc chip muffins and made 3 salads!!! Erin is the last of our bubs I think to turn 1 so tomorrow is her big day. Just having some friends over for lunch and then family for dinner. I keep thinking this time last year I was in lobour.

Pregnancy is goimg fine, told most of my friends now. I am 9 weeks now. Just booked in to get my 12 week scan in a couple of weeks.Life seems to be so hectic at the moment and I have hardly been on the net at all.Erin has taken a few steps but not walking as such yet.

I finally have my boobs back yay!!!! Erin weaned with no problem at all, thanks for all your tips girls. She drinks cows milk really good now out of a straw cup, I think she would take about 150ml a day and also plenty of youghurt cheese and water. Guess I won't have my boobs back for 2 long!!

RYN - Erin got a molar on the weekend and was really grizzly for a few days, then I saw the tooth!! She is back to her normal happy self now. Glad Liebs is enjoying nursery and staying with your friend.
SALLY - Great news that you have worked things out with DP. Where do you think you will move to?
JANE - Definently want to catch up soon, hopefully things will start slowing down soon!!! Got Erins Christening on the 30th March so that will be the last big evernt for a while.My Mum's bought Erin a new sleeping bag for easter which will be great for winter.
KYM - Hi sweet hope all is well with you.

Well dinner is nearly ready so better go and get organised. My Mum has bought Erin a gorgeous purple wooden table and chairs set so better get Hubby to put it together before tomorrow. I still can't beleive my baby girl is 1 tomorrow!!!

Love to you all xxx

Love Claudia!!!

Kristy, Happy Birthday Erin!! Hasn't the time just flown by?? I'm glad your pregnancy is going well. how exciting for you

Rosehip, I dont think you are the only one restricting your child from chocolate!! I'm not letting Brendan have any. And even next year it'll be just 2-3 eggs in total. It's hard enough to keep them on a healthy diet (with all the crap for sale) without grandmas and grandads buying them lots of chocolate!!

Brendan has been sleeping lots today... poor lil man, his cough is slowly going. I think I caught the cold before it got bad And I don't seem to be coming down with it.... woohoo!

[Tashie]

Talking about giving babies chocolate, DH gave Tobi some when he got home from work yesterday and it really cheered him up heaps for an hour or two. I couldn't believe the difference. Then he choked a little on some dinner, had a coughing fit and then went down hill again. We had more spew all over mummy and a very unhappy baby. Why do they always spew on the Mums and never on the Dads. He seems much better today, so I think the ab must have kicked in.
We let Tobi try most things, but really limit how much naughty stuff he has. I would prefer he has chocolate over other naughty stuff. I am trying to work out all the no go foods, but it is so hard working it out.
Jayne - Been doing research on the bunnies. They seem like hard work!
Sally - Glad to hear that you are working things out with DP and it will be fabulous having someone else there all the time to help you out with Brendan.

PS. Sally - 20kg is nothing. I have friends that put on 35kg when they were pregnant. I put on 17kg. I am glad I didn't put on too much, but I also wasn't going to stop eating all the yummy foods. I loved being pregnant and having the excuse to be curvy. I may be down to my pre-pregnancy weight now, but I am still 78kg and I want to lose another 15kg before DH gets home in August. It is hard while they are away though. Chocolate is such a good substitute for sex.

Goodmorning

Tashie, you must be really unlucky.... it's everyone else that cops most of the spew from Brendan!! Although his reflux is pretty much gone now!! last month he was shocking bringing up most of his feeds, including solids. But this month the odd dribble... so I wouldn't even call it spew! woohoo!!
lol at your substitute!! mmm chocolate I think some days I'd rather chocolate!!
I'm down to 78kg too, I want to get down to 70.... I was 65 but a little underweight so 70 would be nice

Brendan and I are off to Playgroup this morning, well when he wakes! He slept through last night, I think his cold is going, and woke at 7:30am had a feed and went back to sleep at 8!!

Have a great day ladies

[Tashie]

Sally, I am so glad that you are writing more often now. It is really great hearing what you are Brendan have been up to. I once did a debate on what was better chocolate or sex. From a girls point of view, there is definitely more pros to cons for chocolate. LOL! Its great that Brendan's reflux is clearing up. A friend had really bad reflux her whole life until she had an operation at 20. That would not be fun.
Kristy - How is our birthday girl? Did she get spoilt and eat all the yummy foods you made?

[~Jayne~]

SAL - So glad to hear that you & your man have sorted things out & WTG on looking for a place together! That's great news! How are things with you & Brendan? Oh wow with the dog food eating, that's pretty icky. I have no suggestions other than just putting the dog food down at the dogs meal times? Claudia had a whale of a time in my parents dogs water bowl on the weekend. Gross me out!

TASHIE _ It's up to you about the pet, but if you're planning on moving anyway, why not just get him a pet when you are all shifted, that way you are settled & Tobes is older? Oh wow you are brave helping out your friend. It'll be fun for Tobi to have a playmate, just remember double the fun & double the trouble! I had my gf's little girl for 2 weeks fulltime & then a couple of nights every week for the following couple of months when Jessica was 12 months old. it was because her older girl was really sick in hospital & she had nobody to have her. It was fun but sooooooo tiring at the same time! At least your little visitor will be going home at night.

KRISTY _ Oh wow, just think that next year at Erin's 2nd birthday you will have a bub that is 8-12 weeks old! Now that is scary! Did she get lots of nice presents? Get over the birthday & everything & then let me know when you want a playdate.

LISA _ I hear you with the tantrums. I have those as well. Claudia puts herself on the floor & throws anything that is in the vicinity of her when she is having a meltdown. I think it's funny & just walk away from her. My goodness me, when is Harrison going to show you some TEETH! I think he is going to end up getting them in pairs! I hope you guys are all on the mend, it's been one thing after another with you guys!

KYM _ What did the Dr say about Monkey & DH? I hope they are better very soon.

ME _ Had a couple of horrendus nights with both kids. Saturday night I didn't get to bed until 1:30 pm. Between Jess & Claudy, they played tag team with Mummy & Claudia woke every 90 mins on the dot, most of the time though, I didn't have to pick her up, just a little pat. I actually think she was crying in her sleep because she didn't open her eyes & stand up like she normally would. Jessica is at thriving 3's atm & Claudia is asleep so I'm just loving the 'quiet time'. Claudia has learned to say my sisters name so she is going on & on with 'Nat, Nat, Nat, Nat'. Very cute. She took 240mL of cows milk last nigth & then fell asleep on the lounge. Jessica was in awe because she was on her tummy with her legs tucked up & she kept on going over to her & saying 'my sister is a koala bear'. Gorgeous.

Hope you are all having wonderful Tuesdays!

Love Jayne

Hi, just in quickly, as have to get notes ready for tomorrow......

Jayne, WTG on Claudia nearly forgetting boobie!

Tash, Monkey is sick too - snotty, cough, and 1 slightly inflamed ear, GP wants to see us again Mon hoping to avoid a/b's. Maybe they both got the same thing at Lollipops?? (Monkey's kinda started Sunday with snotty nose then the throat and ear have come since Wed...) Hope Tobi is better real soon.

Kristy, hope Erin's B'day was fantastic - my mum was going to get Monkey table and chairs for Christmas, but we don't really have the space - not sure what I'm gonna do this year when she actually starts to want that sort of thing!!

Ryn, hope you get those migraines sorted girl! Sounds wonderful that Liebs is starting to become more independent - Monkey is too to some degree.

Not sure if I've mentioned before but when I was pg I had quite bad pubic symphasis separation/dysfunction and its back, dammit! Luckily, the women's health physios at work have agreed to see me and had my first app't today - looks like its gonna be slow recovery and I'm quite sore tonight....

But in better news, I dropped Monkey at the out-laws yest and went bra shopping!!! Sorry to say though that I needed to buy boring bras that could be worn under white work shirts, so the sexy stuff will have to wait....

Gotta run, would love to stay to chat.... Oh, other big news - we are selling our house! The rate rises are killing us and we have no quality of life left... As it is our 3 yr plan to leave Sydney anyway, we figure we can rent, save money and be happier.... hopefully.... but a stressful time ahead sorting it all out!

Have a lovely wkend all.

[~Jayne~]

KYM _ WOW with selling your house! That's massive news. I have been scaring Alan & sending him links to 3 storey mansions & saying I'm going to view them! LOL. That sounds great & you sound really happy about the move, so that's even better! How is that Cheeky Monkey?
