Babies Born January - June 2005 #5

Hey girls,
Deb big congrats sweet...I must of known another one was coming, I was trying to tell Fi the other day that "Everyone" is pregnant again and she said who...I couldnt think of a name tho.
Fi: Hope you had a nice little break, damm little redecorators. I'll give you a call in the morning...I had to laugh about story time can you imagine Eliza just running to all the kids and screaming and running off. The two of them woud of been very amusing
Trish : Hows Teh today poor little mite...little buggas. Hope a cream is all it needs.
Hi to Simone and Sarah
We had an incident report at daycare today..nibbling natty eliza sunk her teeth into another girl and in return got a scratch to the face and eye, I really hope she learnt a lesson and may think twice before doing it again.
I cleaned my walk in pantry today only took 4 hrs but looks a treat. Found some old pregnancy tests stashed away...funny they were all negative as well a truckload of IVF drugs and LH testers it was all :(
Better go and take advantage of getting Missy in bed before 9.30...i feel bad but we had to do abit cc tonight she is killing me at night
Bec

Bec - ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right? Thanks for the congrats. LOL @ you having a feeling that someone was preggo - you knew before me!! haha
Oooer @ the incident report. Nordy Miss Eliza trying to nibble on another child. Maybe she looked tasty? Eh... kids will be kids.

Simone - thanks matey :)

Well I knew it wasnt me :) Fi even asked if I was pffftt gosh I'm going to see how you girls cope and then evaluate ;)
Bec

LOL... we're the crash test dummies, hey Bec? ;)

Hey girls will post properly tomorrow. Still have migraine lingering and can only look at this screen for small ammounts of time beofre it kills my eyes.

CONGRATULATIONS once again Deb, Just incase you missed the last one ;)

Tehya's face is looking a little better, starting to get a scab on it. Took her to the chemist yesterday afternoon and got cream for it. She screams when I put it on though.
Took Noah for a visit to the local fire station (drool, oh sorry wasn't there for that) they had a talk to him about matches and giving them to an adult and not playing with them.

My big news for the day. And no where near as fantastic as Deb's is that

Tehya floated for 15 minutes by herself. No tears, No spews, No fuss at all.
Now she goes on to the next step where they push her in from behind and she has to turn over and get onto her back and float. Now that is going to be hard to watch :(

Gooooo Tehya!!! That's awesome news, Trish! She's a clever girl! Glad her face is looking better. What a great idea taking Noah to the fire station. That'll learn him (even if it was just so you could have a perve ;) ). Hope your migraine goes soon matey. Ouch!

Can I be a crash dummy tooooo?? Pretty please??

Well done Tehya on floating today, clever girl :) So do you think the trip to the fire station helped?

Well it helped me to ralise that they aren't all hot PMSL.

Yeah I think so, there was a picture of a dolly all burnt and Noah thought it was a little bubba and he was saying maybe her brother did this and that to her.

After talking to him yesterday it got a whole heap scarier. Apparently he tried to light up Joels bed and we found matches in his room and a burn mark on Donkey. Bloody lucky he wasn't smouldering as when I put him in his room to go to bed I went to sleep with Tehya too.

Trish, my mum's ex boyfriend had his son playing under his bed with matches and it went up in flames, luckily the dad had a fire estinguisher and put it out. The kid had burns to his arms... why cant they be fascinated with easy thing like blocks and trucks? LOL

There's a thought Simone. I think we should invest in an extinguisher. Something you always think about buying but never get around to it....

I was a little pyro when I was a kid. When Mum and Dad split and Dad had to clean out the house, there was a whole stack of burnt paper and matches under the bed. He went nuts at Mum but it's not like she knew about it! Glad I didn't burn the house down, LOL.

I hope noah finds a different interest. Anything you could take his mind off?? I know xander used to like the boxes of matches, and they were always outside as i (was a) smoker (quit 2 days ago, not doing too badly!!) but now i make sure everythings hidden and he seems to have forgotten about it - his new obsession is climbing in Anneliese's cot, especially when she's in there!!

ETA LOL at your being a pyro Deb, i couldnt imagine it!!

Oh Trish - that must have been scary to find out more to the story.... And LMAO that the fireman weren't all hotties. Hehehehe! And YAY on the swiimming - what an awesome effort. Clever little girl :D

Sarah - you get to be a crash test dummy soon. Its actually not so much fun at the moment. Being this pregnant sucks - all I can say is thank goodness its another cool summer so far.

Bec - I've sent you an email, but I might be a bit absent for the next few days with Mum ehre. I've just checked,a dn theit flight is early so I better get a wriggle on and head off to the airport. Oh joy - an hour in the car with Jenna and the wiggles. Playing over, and over and over and over........ She's gone from saying "nice car" when we go for a drive, to saying "toot toot, chugga chugga" cause she just lvoes the CD. And when songs come on she doesn't like she starts saying "NONONONONO". Joyous creature.
2w time we have a date for the library ;) we will send that place on its ear.

Simone - Gzood luck with smoking - I hope it works for you.

Deb - Hope the m/s doesn't kcik in too soon. its totally revolting with pooey nappies, I promise.

So this may be it from me for a few days girls - hope eveyrone stays safe :)

Have fun, Fi! PMSL @ Jenna with the "toot, toot, chugga, chugga". How cute.

Yikes Trish, what a worry. I bet all the matches are well out of reach now?

And Deb, you being a norti little girl, I couldn't imagine it :nana:

I loved being pregnant Fi, didn't get over it at all! The only thing that bothered me was the swelling, otherwise loved it!

Not sure what's on the agenda for today... Oh oh I forgot to mention, we had a fantastic day at gym yesterday :D Zander did everything without any problems!! He did the circuit three times like they are supposed to (first time ever!) and he went on the high beam, of course with my help, but he's never gone on it before :D Even his teachers were saying how good it is that he's come out of his shell a little bit. Soooo proud :D

Awww well done, Zander! Goes to show with perseverence, they get there eventually. Wow... Tehya the swimming star, Zander the gymnast (or is is gymnist?? Nahh... that looks wrong)... Gab doesn't do much, LOL.

I liked being preggy too... once the m/s subsided... after that it was pretty good. But, then, I could sleep when I wanted and didn't have to run around after a toddler so this time mayyyy be a little different ;)

Yeah you have a good point there Deb! Last time though I was working up until 38.5 weeks so I didn't get much sleep during the day.

Hi girls...

Congrats Deb :D Very clever of you!! It really isn't that bad with a toddler, you just need to sleep when they do :) You'll be fine!

Wow Trish, Boys and fire!! Uegh! My nephew lit his bed up with matches once... I was staying over the night and his brother came in and very casually told us, so I though, 'Gee I better just check"... and holy smokes the bed was alight!! I crapped myself!! LOL Totally paniced... so incase of fir... DO NOT CALL ME!!! LOL

Bec, I hope eliza's scratches heal up ok...

Have fun with your Mum Fi :)

What a clever boy Zander is, Sarah :) Sounds like he has a ball!

Not much going on here... Violet is in bed again. Last night we were sitting down having tea and she promply looked at each of us and said, "love oooh"... too cute. The night before when putting her to bed, she told me to have "sweet dreams"... very funny.
She walked up and hit her dad and thought it was rahter funny until Daddy said, "NO!". To which she looked at him and said, "sorry"... haha... awwwww how can you stay mad!

TL

Tanya

Awwww Violet sounds sooo adorable. "Love oooh"... OMG... how CUUUUTE!
LOL @ your nephew setting his bed alight, Tanya. I can just imagine your reaction... uno you've gotta do something but, in the heat of the moment, what do you do first? I'd be the same.

Gab and I have just got back from playgroup. I drove which is laughable because it's literally just 2 blocks away (if that). It was raining on and off tho and I couldn't be stuffed running, LOL. Gab likes to walk by herself so a 1 minute walk turns into a 10 minute walk. It's good for her to walk on her own tho cos it wears her out. I think she'll sleep well this arvo tho. She woke up a good couple of hours earlier than she has been lately. It's good because I get more done but I was enjoying my sleep-ins ;)
I'm back off to Geelong tomorrow. I have a shopping bus trip to go to on Saturday so my little sister is looking after Gab (Mum will be on the shopping trip). I've been the last 2 years so it's slowly becoming tradition. All the locals here think I'm nuts because I'll be missing the Dunkeld Cup. It's supposed to be quite an event! Pah... I can't drink so I don't think I'll be missing much!

hey ladies,

nothing much on our end, just been cold and wet and im over it!! It hailed so much it may as well have been snowing...

must do personal later, gotta pick the kids up from daycare

TTFN

Morning girls...

Have fun in Geelong Deb... I don't think you'll be missing much at the Dunkeld Cup (never been, but I can imagine what i'll be all about ;) )

Guess What? We have had poo in the potty!! Yaaay for Violet! She was telling me she needed to do poo, so I took her pants off and put her on and she promply got off, and kept saying, 'poo' so eventually she got back on of her own accord and sat for a minute or two and did a poo... she was quite surprised to see a poo in there...LOL

Tanya

Awww clever Violet!! Wow... that's just fantastic. Was she scared of the poo, Tanya? I've been trying to get Gab to do something on the potty but she just sits on it. She follows me to the loo all the time. When I'm sitting there, I give her a square of toilet paper and she pretends to wipe her bum! So cute. All the while she sniffs and says "Poosss Poosss". She'll get there eventually!

Wow Tanya, Congrats to Violet!! What a grown up little girl :) Decflan has no interst in the potty (he knows how to use it, i just finished toilet training his brother... he does day Pooo's Mummy (and flaps his hand in front of his face and scrunches his nose up, its so funny) but think ill be toilet training him next summer. Another year of nappies..

Deb - have fun shopping. So you cant go to the races and get drunk... You have the most precious gift in the world :) And Shopping's WAYYYY more fun than watching little guys on horses bouncing around a track LOL

Well im heading into the city to do some shopping today, meeting up with some of the girl in Anneliese's baby buddies group... most of us are from melbourne!! Must go shopping for my SS pressie today as well...

Must be the day for shopping. Have fun Simone!

Deb, nah, she wasn't scared of it, just fascinated!! My girls like to look at poo...LOL

Tanya

LOL Simone... too true! Even if I wasn't preggo and could drink, I'd still have no one to look after Gab so I wouldn't have had all the much fun anyway. Bring on the shopping trip I say!
Have fun shopping today! Hope you get your SS sorted. I've still got to buy for Gabby's SS but we go to a brilliant toy shop on the trip so I imagine I'll find something there.

Tanya - LOL @ your girls liking the look of poo ;) I have to show Gabby's in her nappy... she insists on seeing it. Then we both wander to the loo and wave "Bye Bye Poos!" and I flush it down. Gab says "Bye-Bee Poosss, Bye-bee". So cute.

Hey Ladies

I have been MIA for ages. Too much to do and no time to do it, I guess.

Deb- HUGE CONGRATS to you, Neil and Gabby. How exciting!!!

Fi- Almost there for you, hope everything goes well!

Tanya - YAY for Violet! What a clever girl!

Simone - The nice weather is coming, YAY!!

Trish - Norty Noah, I hope he has got the message now!

Sarah - Well done Zander for doing so well at Gym.

I think I have remembered everyone. I really must pop in here more. I do read your posts, just dont usually have time to post myself. Slack! We are doing pretty well here. Hayley is being very cute most of the time, but very demanding and 'NO' is her fave word atm. She is still so tiny though, not sure she will ever grow, she is still only 9.8kgs and in size 0 for most things! I have been really busy with Hayley and trying to get a lot of the renos done before Xmas, thankfully its meant to be nice for the next 5 days as I have a heap of painting to do. I am not sure this place will ever be finished, the friends that I have keep adding things to our list!

I am off next week to pick up all my laybys for Xmas, wrap and stash all in one day and pray that the older kids dont find them. We'll see. Netball final tomorrow....we better win!

Catch up again soon!

Good luck on the netball Dinky - hope your girls do well (I'm presuming its the girls netball, not yours??) Nice to see you in here, I'm a lurker sometimes too. I just run out of time to post!
Deb - have fun shopping. The weather is lovely here today. Shopping is soooo not fun with a toddler and a big belly.

Sarah - I didnt mean the pregnancy sucked - its just a lot harder with a toddler. You will see what I mean soon enough ;) I've actually enjoyed this one soooooo much more than last time. I feel much closer to the baby, and much calmer and more patient. Things are just as sore and uncomfy, but its easier in so many ways. If it wasn't for the jenna factor, it would be a pretty cruisy pregnancy. A nice change ;)

Tanya - violet is a very clever girl :D yay for her! here's hoping you have a quick and easy potty training.

Simone - I hope your shopping goes well too.

I'm buggered,a nd its only day 2!!!! Mum and katy are just soooo full on all day long. They get Jenna completely revved up - mum is apparently fascinated with Jenna, she thinks she is very clever, so keeps pushing and pushing her to do more and more! Maybe she reckons she'll get her first degree at uni by 10 if she carries on this way! Anyway, she has been to a few op shops, and picked out a pile of beads and bracelets. All completely inappropriate size-wise, so I guess once she's gone they will be "supervised dressup". But Jenna loves her pretties, and keeps wanting the clip on earrings even though her poor little ears are going very red.

Ahhh - 4 more days. Tomorrow will be a killer, but at least its without Jenna, so its a little easier for me to manage.

Ok will try to do a mammoth catch up.

Dinky, great to see you back around here. Wow Hayley is still quite small. Tehya's not huge either, she has only just hid 11 kgs but is quite tall.

Fi, LOL at Jenna and her degree. Who know's hey. Cute at Jenna and her pretties too. You know if you get them pierced she won't have to worry about clip on's ;) Only stirring. Can you believe you only have another month to go until bub is here. Do you have nay idea what your having?? Other than a baby that is.

Deb, hope you have a great day out on your shopping trip. I will be out watching the horse with the little men instead. Well, I don't really watch, just drink. It's ladies day out there so it will be packed with young guys again. Go figure.

Tanya, what a clever girl Violet is. Sounds like she is coming along in leaps and bounds. We have yet to catch that wee in the loo, Tehya isn't hugely fond of it although she does know when she needs to go because she grabs my hand and tells me wee wee's and we go to the toilet, sit there for 5 seconds, get off and go pee on the floor. Love having tiles :)

Sarah, sounds like Zander is loving the gym. WTG for him. Even better that he is starting to become more social too. Looks like it is working for him and you.

Tehya is now on AB's for both her cough and as a preventor to make sure her burn doesn't get infected. Poor thing also has Vulvitis !!! inflamation of her vulva. I was changing her bum yesterday, she'd done a poo, she has no bum rash at all. Anyway wiped over her fanny and it started to bleed. Tehya was screaming so I called in Mark and we agreed to take her to the dr's. She wouldn't even open her legs to be carried so it was over the shoulder style. Poor thing was walkng like a cow girl. Basically it could be anything from soap to poo that could have irritated her so I have to keep it as clean as possible, which I do anyway. Nappy free is good. And plenty of cream on the outer part of her fanny but nothing inside. Oh the joys of it all.

I am now on med's for my migraines too. Have to take tablets daily to see if we can get control of it all. Also got a script for the pill. Damn AF is due the day of the Robbie Williams concert and seeing as how we are on an oval and the loos are too hard to get too, especially when the conert starts I'd rahter not have them. Only problem is I might loose my milk or supply might drop. Dr said it's about time anyway :( I think I might just take the pill the week before the concert and stop the day after. Hope that will get me through with minimal affects to my suply.

Joel has been suspended again !! For wagging. In my eyes they are just giving him a legal reason to be off school. Just what he wants. I think what his plan is, is to get expelled that way he can leave school and we have no choice in it.

What to do, what to do .....

hey ladies

not much here, declan had had some bug going around had a high temp, vomiting, oh so clingy...

Your kiddies sound tiny guys, Declan is just over 14kg and in size 2's now!! Also has a size 6 foot. Big kid... But then i had my tiny bubba... Anneliese is only in 0000's and she's 5 months old... slowly growing into 000's :)

just a quiet weekend though. hope everyone enjoyed theirs

Hi Girls
Just popping in before my rather hectic week:eek:
Deb: Hope you have had a great weekend of shopping, I had a busload of guys pull up in front of work they were all yelling we are going to the Dunkeld races...lol I thought maybe leaving town was a wise thing to do
Trish: Poor Teh sounds like it is a painful situation she is in...as for all your whoas :hug: hope it all settle downs
Simone: Wow Declan is a big boy..big feet too. I meant to ask did you go to the races last week
FiFi: Hows mum going..revving Missy up I suppose its going to take a few weeks to bring her down...how many weeks we got left, I'm getting excited my cousin is going in for a c-sect on Dec 1st so there will be bubbas all around
Tanya: Big cuddles to Violet she is a clever cookie, we will be in nappies for some time I'm sure. Although I can ask if she has done poo and she yells Noooo!!! and shakes her head violently Im sure it means nothing to her lol
Weird day here..I've been having head spins and almost a morning sickness thing going...no excitement tho. Nick asked if I could be and I told him that my other boyfriend is really fertile as he already has 10 kids he shut up and didnt ask any more questions.
Better go and organise the girl for Nannys tomorrow..I hate having to pack everything plus it suppose to be 37. Our airrconditioner is still awaiting parts ohh well:boohoo:
Bec

Bec - i went to Oaks Day last week, had a ball...

Simone, Tehya's foot is between a 5 and 6 too. Depends on the shoes, and we are needing some 2's in clothes, but that's more for length.

I hope that Declan is feeling better and is getting over his bug. Poor sick kiddies :( Aww at Anneleise still in 0000's, atlest she get's lot's of wear out of her clothes before she grow's out of them ;)

Bec, a girl always needs an extra boyfriend tucked away to bring out in times of need. LOL. Hope you are feeling better, do you think maybe your blood sugar's were down alittle ??? Could explain the dizziness.

Had a great day out at the races on Saturday, got there around 1pm ish and got home about 12.30am, so a pretty long day. The toes on my left foot still have pins and needles in them so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Stayed home Sun, Mark's parent and nieces came up for a couple of hours then ex SIL and my neices came over and stayed for a roast dinner. Yummy. Best of all, while I was cooking she did most of my ironing :D Silly girl, but I am so thankful for it. Will have to invite her for tea more often.

Tehya is doing better, her face is healing really good, thankfully. Cold is still hanging around, very hard to drink when your nose is blocked up.

Joel has his first appt with the anger management counsellor. He is at Shane's so I think he will be taking him down there. I plan on going too but will probably be very hard to talk with Noah and Tehya there.

Hope all had a great weekend and that all bubbies are being good.

Oh, BTW I updated Tehya's album yesterday. Feel free to have a squizz at my gorgeous girl.

Hi Girls

I am making this January - June 2005 from now. Hardly anyone posts in the other 3 months and 2 of those months no longer even have a thread cause it went to archive they weren't touched in so long so you shouldn't really see any major changes.

Love

Hey Trish, Tehya is gorgeous!! That red hair... so cute. But i bet she's got the temper to match :)

I updated the kids albums over the weekend, still havent got a lot of pics in it, but i've only had them going a week, and being on FIL's comp i dont have alot of pics to choose from!!

Meant to be 36 today, but still cool and very overcast today...

Was going to get some washing done but the weather looks like rain, and the kids arent going to daycare as they normally would. Declan's still very warm and snotty, and Xander still very wheezy, and i dont have a ventolin for him. Praying it doesnt get worse and i have to call an ambulance for him. Dont have a car today!!

Kathryn, maybe that will get some more chatting in here. Although if the other threads have been archived I doubt it :)

Simone, yup she sure does have that temper. It's quite warm today here, supposed to get to 33 degrees. Pretty sunny and warm outside so I'm sure we will get there.

Off to chech out your kids albums again now :)

ETA, Ok have checked them out. Simone, how cute are your kiddies. Very sweet hun :D

Xander has the redhead temper, drives me crazy sometimes. ut Declan, my little blondie is a sulker. I dont know which is worse...

Hello Everyone,
Looks like we are joining you all in here. It may take a while to catch up on you all and what is happening.

Alex has his 18months clinic check up today i can't wait to see how long he is i know he still weighs around 13kilos he loves to stand on my new weighing scales in the bathroom.

Congrats on making 30 weeks Michelle!! Everything settling down a little now?? Alex is a little cutie :) Born on a great day :D

Michelle, hi, don't know whether to welcome you or not, are you joining us or are we joining you ;)

Sounds like Alex is growing nicely. I'm not sure how tall Tehya is, I forgot to get that checked last time I had her weighed. I do know that she is just on 11 kgs though.

How are you feeling ?? Not too much time left now, once you get through the busy end of the year, then before you know it bub will be here.

Simone, I have a sulker too. Brandon, my 12 year old is a sulker but very loving too, my eldest is very fiery but can also be so sweet. Noah is very mischievious and can be quite norti, as you have seen. And Tehya, well she's all that and then some, everyone told me girls were worse and I never believed them, well with Tehya the proof is there.

Michelle, I just had a look at Alex's album. He looks so grown up with his haircut. What a cutey :)

Hey everyone

Joining in here as well

Michelle: wow at 30wks for you, not long at all to go :)

Cooper has been on infants friend the last few days and seems to of made a big difference with him, he still loves my lap all day though :)

Luke is going well with his Chicken pox, starting to worry now that we will all end up with it though, not in the clear for awhile yet, he has it pretty mild though so hoping it might not pass to all of us

Mason is a screaming terror of late, he is so loud, anyone would think he was deaf with how loud he is!
