depth perception - i cant judge distances, like feeding lakshman i cant really judge his mouth properly cos 1 eye's patched. and i alsmost missed putting sugar into my tea this morning cos what looks like the right spot isnt... haha

[Esme]

Oh Prama, you really have one thing after another haven't you ? Hope it will get better soon! So he has started to poke eyes then ?

Ash - love the card sharing idea; have PM'ed you our details.

Bronzdbebe- Yay on Zane walking 6 steps!!! No stopping him now!

Hi to everyone else

[kato]

hey everyone,

prama - hope your eye heals nice and quickly - will be laughing about it in no time!

love the card idea but i am going to have to ask a stupid question - how do i PM and what is it..??

bronzedbebe - theres no stopping the little monkey now, baxters crawling days seem soo long ago already, everything is done at a gallop now!

as for that father, i feel very nuch for the poor mother, and the siblings that witnessed it in the car - that kind of thing will "scar"... thoughts are with them.

anyway, have to run

whoops - hi everyone else

hope you guys in the heat are coping ok...uurrgghh

Firstly I am not going to comment on the little girl - I have written in the thread (second last page) in the news section, so I don't want to say anymore here.

WRT the card exchange, basically it means everyone can send a card to everyone - some of the early Feb bubbas may get them late, but I thought it would still be fun to do!

Kato - PM is private message, but you won't be able to do it yet - i think you need 25 posts before you can PM and be PM'd. If you like you can email me instead - ashleajaynesewell @ hotmail.com

WTG Zane!! Alex has been taking a lot of steps but won't let go and do it on his own. In his own time I guess.

Prama, so sorry to hear about your eye, really hope it heals quickly!

GTG for now xxoo

[2 please]

Its goint to be 45 deg today in Bendigo, and Im battering down the hatches now. Last night the power turned off from 9pm-1am. Poor DS and DD freaked whenthe air con turned back on with the change of temp.

Cookie, I hate talking about Darby too. My hubby was dropping tears when watching the news. His 35 and DD is 4.

Prama. TARA DID THE SAME TO ME TOO. I was in the RACV paying for rego when Tara swang for my face. Her sharp nail hit my eye, and I later found out it ulcerated. I had a patch for a week, and found that it took 2 years before I could touch it without it itching a tearing. Steve would say, "Are you crying again"? ( Isnt that wierd how much the same has happened in our first pregnancys). You and I went through depression, bubs scratching our eye and having a hubby called Steve.lol.

Kato, A PM is a private message. I think you click the persons name in the thread and it comes up with a page of all their info. Just look for PM in there.
Just click on 2 please on this post and it should come up.

Hi to everyone else.

Enjoy your weekend

Karlie

[prama]

lol - karlie! how strange is taht!!!! i hope i get a girl next.. hehe

thanks girls, i went to get my eye checked yesterday evening and it's almost all healed. im still on anti-biotics, and my patch is gone. thank god.
karlie, tara must have hit your with much more force.. a patch for a week, that must have hurt so much. it's terrible isnt it.. like needles in your eye.
i had the same pain when i had laser surgery done in my eyes. i had been wearing glasses since i was 7, now i dont anymore.


tomorrow's feb!! has jasper got the first birthday here?

[2 please]

I think the worst part was rubbing your eye, and finding it hard to stop. It was so easily set off just by bumping it . When it happened I couldnt open my eye at all, and got headaches in bright light. With in 3 hours I couldnt leave my bedroom with the blinds down, and had a damp fashwasher on my eye.

[Bronzdbebe]

Hi All,

How's the weekend's going?? Non eventful I hope (story below)
Hope everyone is surviving out there in this heat, How are the bubs going?
Prama hope your eye is feeling better....??
Tomorrow's feb.....Wow at the end of the month we are all going to have Toddlers! not sure I'm excited or a little sad

Well Zane had his first major stack today, I guess I should be thankfull he has lasted till now but OMG it was horrible, he was crawling at an olympic pace and his knee trapped his hand and he face splatted into the tiles, The scream that came out of his mouth was deafening. There was blood all in his mouth but his teeth (all 4 of them) were still firmly in place....Thank GOD!!! DH was hopeless. I think I need to add at this point he is in the ADF...Infantry soldier Has had full first aid treatment and they are trained for medical emergencies for when they go OS and so on. He has delt with things soooo much worse than this and he just froze, Not a comforting feeling. After we...no I had the basic's under control we took him up to the Doc's just to get checked and he is fine! By the time we got there he was his usual cheeky self and I was also told....He's a boy and this is just the start of it...So yay for all of us, cause they are only going to get more daring and faster!! Not sure I can handle this... still trying to get the taste of my heart out of my mouth!!

What is everyone getting for their Bubs first birthday pressies? We got Zane a FP Bounce and spin Zebra, FP pelican and some bed linen...(The my parents are buying his first big boy bed...not that he'll be in it for awhile.) He just got soooo spoilt at christmas he doesn't need anything really.

Well thats all my news...Sorry bit of a selfish post, just needed to vent a little I guess.
Night everyone.... off too watch some SATC - Box set for chrissy!!! I'm addicted.

[2 please]

Poor Zane. I know when Jake was 2 weeks old he had breathing difficulty with a cold. Its amazing when you are in fright how hard it is just to make a phone call . Your mind just cant think straight.

Im still struggling to find Jake a radio flyer wagion I wanted to get him. I dont mind paying $80 at toys r us, but Im not paying $120 for the same thing at Target. (Of course Toys R us are out of stock.)

Hugs to you and Zane,

Karlie

glad to hear Zane is ok! - noy looking forward to DS first major owie - though he did burn his little fingers on the oven this morn... poor little bugger!
cookiemonster - i have emailed you for the card exchange, guess i will just have to keep posting to get to PM eventually!

anyone had any probs with their littlies and blister on their feet? since DS has been walking he keeps getting blisters under his big toe.? i don't know if it is coz he is gripping with his toes, or he has just inherited my genes (i blister all the time!)...

good luck with everyones plans for 1st birthdays - we are just having a fam bbq at a park - no mess at my place thank We got baxter a CAT bulldozer thing with mega blocks in the back and some crayola tadoodles. he got spoilt rotten at xmas, so not too much.

have a great weekend, we're off to bunnings, am trying to convince DH to renovate my kitchen!!

Hi all!

Hear you on the heat! It has been 40+ here for quite a few days now. Yesterday 43 and today feels the same. Had to go to a christening today; was really nice, but the airconditioning in the church wasn't doing much, so was very hot. Jasper did really well considering he missed out on his morning sleep; he just loved looking at all the people and the other bubs. He just went to sleep at 1 pm without too much drama, so I think we are ready to tackle the occasional playgroup session. How did Catherine go Bun? Did you girls make some new friends?

Kato - Baxter is such a cutie!! They are really starting to look more like little kids and less like babies, aren't they? How are his little fingers; hopefully no blisters? Jasper isn't walking yet, so don't have any experience with blisters yet.

Bronzdbebe - That must have been sooo scary!! I am still waiting for the first big fall, but I don't think it is too far away... Is Zane ok now? We bought Jasper a Thomas the tank engine push/ride on train and a wiggles CD/DVD, so not going too crazy either.

Prama - I think Jasper is the first to turn 1... Catherine is second (day after Jasper) not sure how we go after that... I remember looking at the ticker when I first put it in my signature and thinking it was such a long time to go to 12 months, but hasn't it gone fast...

Karlie - how did you cope with 45 degrees? Hopefully no more blackouts for you!!!

Hi to everyone else!

[prama]

oh zane!! poor darling. glad he's ok. i'm a senior first aid officer but when it comes to bub and ppl i love, i just forget everything i learnt in my training, mind is blank!!

HAPPY FEBRUARY!!

Jasper's going to be a big boy first!! Woo Hoo!!

havent decided what to give him yet. but we're going to put some $$ into his bank account.

[Sequoia]

Hello Feb mummies! Special hello to Bun, Prama and Jenjams. Happy birthday soon to all your bubba's.

Kato - I have a Baxter too! He's a little younger than yours, almost 10 months. I just wanted to comment on his name, we haven't met another Baxter before! We are in Perth too.

Sorry to crash your thread, I wanted to PM Kato but she doesn't have PM yet.

[prama]

shoegal!!! hello there, long time, huh!
i cant believe your baxter will be 1 in a couple of mths.. wow!!!
great to hear fr you. xoxoxo

[Sequoia]

Hi Prama! Wow, Lakshman is getting so big! Hope you are well, xx.

[jenjams]

Hi Ladies.

HI SHOEGAL!!! WAVING MADLY. Surely not.... Baxter isnt 10 months yet? Lol time goes quickly!

Bronzdbebe- So glad Zane is ok. I think I am the calmer one between DF and me. Although we havent had a big stack yet. Oh hang on yes we did! Last weekend. Amber was sitting in a little her size camp chair when she leant forward too much (it was on an angle) and she fell face first into the gravel. When I picked her up she had a mouth full of gravel and a bit of gravel rash on her face. She was pretty brave though and didnt cry for too long. I was the calmer of us where DF freaked a little!

Prama- I am glad your eye is better and I am sure poopy will be fine in day care. Although me saying that, I sort of dread a little bit about the day I have to put her into care. Stay strong, your little man will be off playing with the other kids.

Karlie- Can I look anywhere down here for the wagon for Jake?

For birthday pressies, Amber is getting a small ride on and a small FP toy remote control seeing as she loves our remotes. She doesnt need anything else. I have decided to do a number 1 cake from the Womens Weekly cook book.

Esme- Jasper will love the thomas ride on. I have a friend with one and it was just awesome. The best thing about it?..... It has volume control to lower the choo choos!


Hello everyone!

[Bronzdbebe]

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the kind words about Little Z's stacker. He is completely back to normal tearing around causing mayhem and havoc. I probably sounded awful about DH, I guess I was just in shock, He is normally the one that fixs/deals with anything when it goes pear shaped, Just goes to show my soldier isn't so tough when it comes to our little man.....And I wouldn't have it any other way

Karlie, we have quite a few Toy's R Us up here maybe they can transfer stock? Or have you tried online toy shops or even ebay??

You did sooo well Esme to get through that service, Zane struggles with the heat. High Five Jasper!! What a little trooper..Mummy too of course!!

Kato, Zane hasn't had any blisters yet, he has these funny little "fat pads" maybe they will prevent that although he isn't a fully fledged walker yet...sorry!! the tips of his fingers sometimes peel, I put that down to the crazy crawling pace on the carpet??

Cookie, I also don't have pm yet so email through the details.

Have any of you/All of you had a christening/Naming ceremonies for bubs?

Hope none of you were affected by the fires in Vic, have been thinking about you all in the heat, news said below 40 tomorrow...fingers crossed for everyone.

1st birthday's just around the corner, happy planning to everyone.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend.
TTFN
Sonya
