Tan & Mel... oh thats such a cool photo!!! Oh i wish we all lived closer!!!!!!!!!!!
Tannis.. i love your ticker! Its so pretty! Yeh all my wraps and stuff i got from my sister and the muslim ones are great! Especially for those hotter nights. Plus Keira seems to have a thing for holding a blanket to feel secure.. so when in her rocker and its hot i just put one of those over her also. SOunds like you had a lovely trip!
Missy.. lol no one, well sw's DD and DH.. but was just a passing comment to Mel that kinda was made into something bigger than it kinda was. Oh yay for the cooing and smiling! He may just be a very laid back little person. Maybe good with callum being so on the go! I hope Keira is! After Jesse like that too! lol.. though i can see already she is a fussy pot and knows what she wants! Oh thats great for the wees on the potty! Im yet to buy one. Not that i think Jesse would understand yet. But he does squat whenever hes doing a poo.. so might be a time, come summer to just have him in his nappy around the house and whip it off when he squats.
Kristy.. yep we'll be there! Will be great to see Jessie and cute little Charlie again!
Pixie.. oh great stats! Oh thats a releaf too. Yeh when things like that happen it feels like time goes so slow and it happens forever.
Mel.. get your butt on msn woman.. well sometime!
Went out to that day care place and its full for next year! doh! But am on a waiting list. Am going to have a drive by another today on the way to the shops. Also no luck with the mobile grrrr... so going to go to my local BigW where i saw one there i liked.. better still be there! lol or we're going for a drive to Penrith!
Just waiting for sleeping beauty to wake up! Suppose i can feed Jess in the mean time. Oh well so much for my sleeping through boy.. was up 3 times last night.. ahh well.. was nice while it lasted.
Kell: Yeah I love my new ticker, I am going to try and do a new 1 each month. Bugger about the DCC, hope you find one today. I'm still waiting for Jayden to wake up, Ash woke at 6.15am and she is going back to sleep on me now. Jayden will sleep through for a while then start waking again, he woke once last night.
I fed Ash earlier last night (10.45/11pm) and that got her through until 6.15am, I might try and do that all the time now because it is so much easier to have her fed and me have my brekki before Jayden wakes up....He'll probably start getting up earlier!
We are having another quiet day today, I am still pretty exhausted from the weekend....Not as bad as yesterday though so I might get some house work done. I did do 2 loads of washing yesterday and swept the floor....gotta resweep today and hopefully mop.
Ash is asleep now so I'l put her back in her bassinette and have a shower....Woohoo a shower before 9am!!
Oh I worked out (a while ago now) that Jayden and Ashlea are 2yrs, 2mths, 2days and all but for a few minutes 2 hrs apart! I think 2 will be my lucky number now!
OH WOW ive just woken up to the smell of bread cooking. My mother gave me her bread cooker as she doesnt use it anymore and melissa set it to start cooking 2 hrs ago. Oh beautiful smell. mel digging into it already...lol
Tannis what a wonderful photo hun. Just love it. Isnt so funny looking at them when they do wee's how excited they get. Well Callum does...lol. Callum wont do it on the toilet yet but goes on the potty.
Kell oh ok cool thought id missed some thing. I just love this time with all the smiles. Jesse will let you know when he is ready. I did it to callum about 3 months ago thinking he wouldnt go on the potty and he did. So he was about, 29mnths. Jesse is abit young at the moment I think but you just never know.
awwww bad luck about the day care. Hope you get in. Jess and Callum must have made plans to wake the mummies up last night. He was also up at 4.30...gggrrrr.....lol
Mel/Tan - Oh looks and sounds like you had a great time catching up during the weekend. I also love the pic you posted Tannis. I love your ticker too little Ash is just beautiful.
Tan - Isabel is doing really well in her cot, I am also trying out the grobags during the day to see how she goes so fingers crossed by the time she hits 3 months she will be in grobags and sleeping full time in her cot.
Kell - Oh sweet too bad about the daycare but at least you're on a waiting list. I hope you find a mobile too that you like, Big W do have some lovely ones.
Missy - It's so nice when they start to smile all the time and coo and goo hey, I love it when Isabel does it too, I just want to squeeze her with joy but I just give her lots of cuddles and kisses
Mel - How is Mehkelti's rash going sweet? Did the Dr give you anything to put on it?
Kristy - Hello, how are you doing with your three lovely boys?
Pixie - what wonderful news about Beth's stats sounds like she is doing really well. Isabel spits out her dummy like a hundred times before she finally falls asleep too which drives me nuts cause I have to put it back in each time
Well we had the best night Isabel had a feed at 6:30pm woke at 12:30am for her next feed and then slept until 6am this morning... I have to say I feel so refreshed and rested, she is now sleeping again I know that it might only be a one off but I have to say I was very proud of her this morning. She was a happy little bubs too after it all.
It's a gorgeous morning here in Melbourne, going to finish my mocha that DH make for me and go and have a shower before she wakes. Have a great day all..
Morning lovelies!
Well, I know a lot of your babies have been doing this for ages, but I'm so proud my little girl slept through the night! From 11pm to 6.30!!!
Tan & Mel that's a beautiful photo! Looks like you had a great time!
Tan, maybe it was Cetaphil that you're thinking of? That's always near the QV stuff
Missy the Bear says hi, he has just been really busy.... but he's having a nap now with Beth.... well he was trying but the weed-whacker man is outside making a racket!
Kel, bummer about the day care place. I guess if I'm going back to work next year I should start putting DD on waiting lists. But I soooooooo don't want to put her in daycare when she is 11 months old. Planning to ask my stepmother if she will look after her (we would pay her of course) but we should have a backup in case she doesn't want to.
Anyhoo, hope you all have a good day, hi to Tenny, SW, tasia, mez, and everyone!
Missy: YUMMMM!!! I love the smell of fresh bread!! Mel's a good girl isn't she!! Yeah Jayden gets heaps excited! I am shocked J did go to the toilet, the 1st time we were at the hospital visiting FIL so he had the choice of nappy or toilet...he chose toilet.
Kell: Jesse will be interested in TT'ing soon, Jayden didn't want a bar of it until last week. We have had a potty for a while and before he gets in the bath we ask if he wants to go, I never pushed him or made him sit...toys or books can encourage them though I gave him bath toys that had a bit of water in them so they can "go potty" haha it worked. Jayden hasn't been interested today in it but it is only early I guess.
Mez: Thanks ...I think she is beautiful but I'm bias LOL. Thats great Isabel is going great in her cot...how is mummy going with it? haha. Surprisingly Chris was worse than me when Jayden went into his cot, he kept finding excuses why he had to stay in our room...Too cold, won't hear him (despite having a monitor). Woohoo on Izzy's sleep! How good do ou feel after a good nights sleep after so many bad ones!
Rach: Beth's stats are fantastic...good job! Cetaphil thats it! Yeah that was good stuff! Wooho on Beth's sleep too!
We have this movie box thing and Jayden is watching Dora on it, between episodes I heard him saying C'mon Dora, C'mon...then the next episode started LOL I love all the things he says now!
Might go swimming at SIL's today if the wind stops, I need something to wear J out and get him away from the TV!
Mel & Tan - That's a great photo! You both look fantastic!
Bear - I can't believe the discharge papers are wrong. WTF?!? Congrats on the new job offer. That's great!
Thanks for that about the dog. I'll try harder. I think it's all basically to do with the way my sister treated him from the start. Like he was a baby and hardly ever got punished for doing the wrong thing. I was basically the only one who did anything about his naughty behaviour. I'm not mean or anything to him, but I do treat him like he's a dog. I'm so over it. Luckily in a couple weeks I won't have to deal with his cr@p anymore. :P
Pixie - YAY!!!!!!! Beth slept through. WHOOHOO! Beth's stats are awesome!! Hayden's in the 75th percentile too.
Tan - Your ticker is cuteeeeee. I'm glad J is gentle with Ash. I hope when/if we go on a long trip the kiddies sleep like yours did. Imagine if they both cracked it the whole way. What a nightmare that woulda been!!!!
Kell - Good luck with the other day care. I hope you can get Jesse in. Fingers crossed the phone you're after is at the shop and you don't have to drive all over the place to find it.
Missy - Lol. Yep, it's offical I'm a forum freak. :P Hayden coos and makes his little noises softly too. He's all smiles and all that jazz aswell. He does his whingey stuff then when he sees me and thinks I'm going to pick him up it's smiles and coos straight away. What a little devil. MmM Bread cooking.
Kristy - I'm back into 90210 too. I kinda love it but hhehehehe
I really need to get some new photos & a family photo. I feel so lazy.
*waves* to everyone.
(I can't believe they took away the wave emoticon.)
Have a great day!!
xx

Geoff: OMG @ the discharge letter! Are you going to get them to do it again or it doesn't matter? Beth will be cooing in no time, Ash has just started to get really vocal which was great when I was on the phone to my parents the other day (they haven't met her yet).
Tenny: Thanks hun Jayden was really whingy on the way down until we gave him the iphone to watch Diego on, luckily Ash was sleeping most of the trip. How long have you had your sister's dog? We still haven't got a family photo either.
I've been a little absent over the last few days, as I've been a little busy. I've given up trying to have a nap, I was letting Beth have a little tummy time on the bed, turned her over as she was grizzling then she grabbed my hand and pulled it onto her chest like a blanket and just started snoring...very cute!
I've been renting a workshop up on the northern beaches for the last 12 months as I've been building a car, a large chunk of what's been keeping me busy is that I was given two weeks notice to vacate the workshop. This has meant that I've been hastily bolting enough of the car together so that it can be moved, packing tools, parts and other paraphernalia and working out how to dismantle and transport the huge (8mx12m) mezzanine floor that I'd constructed inside the workshop using only my 14 year old BIL as assisting labour...nearly done now, one more big day of shifting stuff and it should be done.
Beth's discharge letter from the hospital is most interesting, amongst other things it states that Pixie had an epidural (she didn't), and that Beth was breathing autonomously within 7 minutes (she didn't). I was standing there watching the clock, worrying about how long it had been so I had a pretty clear idea of the time...especially when the batteries on the portable O2 sat monitor starting to fail after 30 minutes or so...
Meanwhile she's growing so much every day, although she's not really cooing yet, we're getting lots of smiles and she's getting more and more curious and interested in everything each day. I'm probably going to accept a new job offer over the next couple of days, so we're thinking about heading up to QLD for a quick break before I start, just trying to figure out the logistics of making it happen now.
Tan & Mel - Great photo - looked like you all had a good time
Missy...hmm...bread, we haven't made some for a couple of weeks now, might be time to make some soon.
Tenny - The dog is trying to assert itself over your little one by stealing the clothes. Dogs view the family as a pack which has a clear pecking order...the dog needs to know that it's at the bottom of the pack and the clothes are off limits.
SW - Good luck with the house thing - interested to see how you go with the not swaddling, we're a little way off from rolling over yet - some of our biggest smiles come from swaddling her, I think we have developed a technique that would baffle Houdini himself!
I know that it might only be a one off but I have to say I was very proud of her this morning. She was a happy little bubs too after it all.
I gave him bath toys that had a bit of water in them so they can "go potty" haha it worked. Jayden hasn't been interested today in it but it is only early I guess.

hhehehehe
