Babies Born January - June 2005 #11

Long time not chat huh guys?! I'm still hanging round, reading every day just barely enough time to scratch myself let alone post LOL!

Zander has just gotten a pair of his 2 year old molars, without batting an eyelid :) I had no idea until I was brushing his teeth the other day & caught a glimpse of them. He's not happy with me spending time on the computer at the moment so I have to do it only when he's asleep, but it has meant that he is so much better behaviour wise which is great. Aaaand he's finally growing some hair LOL! He looks so cute with it too hehe!

Thanks for thinking of me with the unpacking - yes it is a horrible job. We won't be moving again anytime soon LOL!

Sarah, Jack is the same, he hates me spending time on the PC. Yay for the teeth without a fuss. Tom's first 2 teeth were like that but we sure know about Jack's 2 yo molars LOL!

At least one of your boys is sleeping well Belinda!!

Trish, I'm thinking of you. Hoping everything goes well for you.

Yesterday when we pulled into the garage after shopping Jack said to me "want mummy drive back, want mummy drive back". I asked him where he wanted me to drive back to, and he said the other house. I told him that this is home now and we won't be going back to the other house. He started crying and asked "other house, why not, why not stay in other house?" Poor little kid. I had no idea how to explain to a 2 year old why we moved! Hopefully he'll get used to being here soon.

Belinda - OMG @ Mason. Yay for going up a class at Gymbaroo.

Tanya - The birds are still alive and kicking, they are really lovely, I think the ****atiel is just beautiful. We`ve had a galah previously but I must admit I didn`t like it at all. Oh my Violet is growing up, perhaps she could give Matthew a few pointers, he seems to have gone backwards and is now quite happy to run around with a dirty nappy on and they say you can TT them quicker in cloth naps, I truly think they have to be ready themselves. Icky @ the snot eater, Matthew has in the last week discovered he has a hole in his nose LOL

Sarah - Hello :D Yay for Zander and his 2 teeth and double yay for the hair.

Melanie - Yuck @ the unpacking, I`m glad it`s you and not me!!!!

Hmmm I feel like a neglectful mother, Adrian has fallen asllep on the floor playing with his toys, he`s a dreadful sleeper during the day, I`m lucky if he`ll sleep once a day for 30 minutes, nighttime is all over the place, sometimes up to him three times other times once or very occasionally he`ll sleep from 8.30pm till 5.30am.

Took the little boys to the local park this morning, but we left as soon as a family arrived with lunch Matthew had his own idea of joining them LOL Talk about tantrums trying to explain to him that he can`t go over to them and help himself to their food!!!!!

Anyone want a couple of teenagers????? One in particular has an answer for everything, is totally backchatting and telling me off :rolleyes: we`re wrong and he`s right. Sounds like a typical teenager hey!! I`ve asked Mark if I can go and hybernate for the next 2 years especially when they aren`t even my children, it makes it so hard at times. Other times they can be absolutely wonderful if only they can be like that most of the time.

Hi Girls :)

Dee, great to hear the birds have survived!! And no I don't want any (more)teenagers ;)

Melanie... Awwww... poor Jack!! Kinda cute tho. It's amazing how quickly they do settle tho. We have to move again soon!! *urgh*

Sarah, great to hear that Zander's molars have come through with no hassles :) I hope Violet is the same *PLEASE!!*

Well Violet has woken two mornings in a row with a dry nappy! I will giver her a little while longer and see how she goes with her nappy, but maybe I will have to move her to a big bed :(

Tanya

What a shame Tanya, I was hoping someone might want them LOL I have to admit the last few days they have been wonderful, Alister even set out Mark`s, Matthew and my breakfast plates and cereal this morning and Michael has been fantastic with Matthew these school holidays, those two have such a great bond, last night the 3 of them were outside playing footy, Matthew was in his glory. Yay for Violet, she`s such a clever girl but she`s growing up too fast.

Trish - How are you? Have you broken the news to Mark as yet? How are you feeling pregnancy wise - any morning sickness?

Both little boys are still very snotty but otherwise they are okay. Oh Alister found an old pair of work overalls that fit Matthew, he looked just like mini Daddy in them. Michael`s nickname for Matthew atm is "Chinese Alien" because he sounds chinese at times when rattling off a sentence which we have no idea what he`s talking about and Alien as he has alien strength when he really hurts himself he very rarely cries such as the other day when he went thump on the cement and a big egg came up on his forehead yet he only cried for 2 seconds, I`m not sure why he`s so tough.

Adrian is still busy commando crawling but he`s getting so fast, finding him all over the house, one day he might decide to crawl properly, he`s also such a chatter box, I guess he needs to be.

Hope everyone is well

Dee

Edit to say, obviously my ticker is going haywire, it`s saying Matthew is 11 months, and Adrian 8 months - I don`t think so LOL Better go fix it up.

It`s very quiet in here.

We went to the Wiggles Dorothy Dinosaur Dance Party today, I should have taken Mark`s advice regarding Matthew`s atttention span as he was right :rolleyes: Adrian decided it was all too boring for him and went to sleep LOL

I`ve decided what I`m going to do for Matthew`s cake, I`m not the cake designer Sarah is so I`m going to do a number 2 then decorate it with some cars I`ve brought which are Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater and Doc Hudson, then put smarties along the border of it and off course ice it, in what colour I`m not sure yet but it will be the most elaborate cake I`ve ever made so I hope I succeed.

We have all Matthew`s presents except for a helmet which I think we have to go to a bike shop for as I don`t think Big W or K Mart sell toddler size helmets.

Hope everyone`s well

Take Care

Dee

Dee we got Zander's helmet at KMart, it was only around $20 so pretty good price. Can't wait to see Matthew's cake, I bet he'll love it :D

Dee: Cake idea sounds great, and so does how the boys seem to be bonding with each other, and Adrian sounds so cute commando crawling and chatting away

I have pulled my back out so was in a lot of pain for a few days, still sore today but not as bad as it was, ended up with a mega migraine yesterday, was so glad luke grabbed cooper for me and rocked him in the pram to sleep and Mason was absorbed in tv, i ended up falling asleep on the lounge with ice on my head, Bill wasnt far away so i wasnt too worried

Mason got given a swing set with slide today and he loves it, have to get a couple of seats for the sea saw type one that goes back and forward, no clue what they are called lol, so will ring company on monday to find out where to get them from

otherwise all is very quiet here as small kids are asleep and the two bigger ones are out and about

have a good rest of the weekend

Thought I should get my bum in here and post. How is everyone going ?

Belinda, I hope your back gets better real soon. My kids love the swing set, although Tehya would rather climb all over the frame. She truely should have been a boy.

Dee, I have tickets for The Wiggles show in July for Noah and Tehya. God help me and all those pushy mums ;) Sounds like you are well sorted for Matthews party. I have Noah's on the 10th of May and have nothing, and we were going to do him a party this year. He's 5, so the last one at pre school too.

Morning sickness has well and truely kicked in. Feel ill quite often, especially if I haven't eaten. Had repeat bloods done this morning so hopefully my HCG is going up nice and high.

Hope all are going well and little people are behaving themselves nicely :D

Good to hear from you Trish. The morning sickness sounds like a great sign that all is well. I am sending lots of sticky vibes your way. Take care of yourself!

I am so close to having everything ready here - we are having some people round next weekend for DH's birthday / homewarming so really want everything unpacked and neat. Tom has had a very unsettled week so it's been hard to get a lot done but I have made some progress. Jack has settled down heaps now thank goodness. Much more like his usual good self LOL. Now all I need is decent internet - we have to wait for broadband as the exchange is full and this is ssssoooo slow.

Silly me has just realised I have people here to talk to YAY.

Melanie - Sounds like everything is coming along nicely now.

Trish - Thinking of you, I hope your HCG levels are going up nicely, your first reading was great, so much better then mine was with Adrian and his twin. Even though MS is yuck it`s great it`s kicking in.

Belinda - I hope your back is better soon, it sounds painfull. They love the swing sets, we have an old broken one here which Alister and Michael had, Matthew loves what`s left of it, the seats are so expensive to replace that we`ll be better off replacing the whole thing.

Thanks Sarah I`ll have another look at K Mart.

Had a bad bad night, Adrian decided to be up every 1.5 hours then at 3am he thought he`d stay awake until 5am but he also woke Matthew so I had two of them awake for 2 hours, needless to say Matthew is extremely tired today.

I keep telling Matthew he`s going to be 2 soon and then sing Happy Birthday to him I`m sure he thinks Mummy has lost the plot and he`s probably right LOL!!

I hear you Sydney girls are getting a lot of rain, please send it up to us, it seems to be all coastal and not coming inland, we have had 1.4 ml today but nothing like the east coast.

I have come down with another uti, I`m not sure if condoms are causing it so I`m going to start the pill, it`s not what I wanted but I need to find out if it`s condom related as that`s the only thing different, the Dr tells me it`s quite safe but I`m still hesitant.

Didn`t go to GYmbaroo today mainly becuase I wasn`t happy with them having it on Anzac day, what happened to the days when nothing use to open out of respect for our diggers, I keep going on about it to Mark, I just think it`s wrong.

Have a long saga about my little sister, it`s way too long and too complicated to even explain but it involves DOCS and my eldest sister trying to get the daughter from my sister and my eldest sister telling my Mum things which aren`t true, I can see WW20 looming up in the family (well between Mum and my eldest sister as I don`t keep in contact with my eldest sister due to WW10 breaking out years ago LOL).

Take Care

Dee

Dee, you are still bfing if I remember? Are you starting the mini-pill or the full OCP? Just wondering as contraception is a major issue for us atm. I am bfing and unable to take the mini-pill. DH hate condoms so we have a dilemma. DH thinks that having the snip will solve the problem but I'm not ready to rule out another one!! I am really not sure what workable options are there for us.

I hope everyone enjoyed their public holiday today.

Jack has started stuttering in the last couple of weeks. Sometimes it's quite bad, and he's doing it a lot of the time now. I think it might be related to stress from the move and I've been especially busy with unpacking and stuff and I think he's wanting more of my time too. Plus with moving, and some other things, DH and I have been pretty stressed. So now another thing to feel guilty about. Hopefully it's just a short term thing that will resolve soon. He's been such a great talker from an early age so this is quite distressing for me as I feel we have let him down.

hi ladies,

sorry i haven't been around much, im in melbourne at the moment!! it was a complete spare of the moment decission! lol. seth was really good on the plane, he flirted with the girl in front of him for most of the flight then just when we were starting the landing process he fell asleep! lol.. kids... we got into melbourne at 11pm and then went to wait for my bag, it never came.... it had gotten on the wrong flight from brisbane and was on the later trip to melbourne. soooo we had to walk around the airport for an hour and poor seth was shattered but he was sooo good, so proud. :D

he's been really good while we've been down here.. my friend charmzy (whos on here somewhere lol) has four kiddies, her first daughter is a month younger then seth and there in luuurve.. lol... it's so cuuute... there such mischievious little monkeys.

still trying to get through the climbing on tables... grr... and cupboards... bigger grr...

im currently in denial about him being 2 next month... no fair, no one told him he could grow up. lol... better start getting his b'day organised..

anyways, hope everything is well... :D
