Hi Everyone!!! Yes I know, I have been absolutely terrible at keeping up with the threads since Georgia was born. Especially considering that I was on the belly buddies thread practically everyday from as soon as I knew I was pregnant. I miss everyone but jumping on the computer just feels like the lowest priority at the moment. I'll just have to try a bit harder.
Anyway I was having a bit of a read and everyone seems to be going great guns. I love the latest photos being posted too. Everyone's bubs are just so lovely. aren't we lucky?!
Everything is going really well here still, DD is still a little one, but at least I am getting good mileage out of her clothes. she feeds really well and is getting a real attitude. she cries between bbs as I am feeding her, as if I might not try her on the second side. I keep saying to her, I just want her to give me a little burp before we switch sides, but she isn't having a bar of it. we play a lot during her awake periods until she gets yawny or grizzly and then it is straight to bed, and she has a good sleep before we repeat the cycle.
I don't know about everyone else, but even though I loved her from the start, I am really in love with her now. I could just eat her all up. Do you know what I mean? she just keeps getting better and better, and I just adore her more and more. she smiles so much (Mez, sorry you didn't get to see that last week) and talks and talks, so that I can't help thinking she is the smartest girl in the World... hahaha I am sure we are all thinking the same thing about our bubs. It makes me laugh to think that almost everyone feels the way I do about my DD but just with their own DD or DS.
Ok I better go. I'll do personals next time. hugs to all.
Hey Jess, good to hear you're doing great! I know that in love feeling! When Jayden was born, I used to stare at him all the time and think I was the luckiest person in the world to have this beautiful little baby, when he went into his room I went in every night when he was asleep and was just in awe of him and his development...even now (not every night but most) I still go in when he's asleep and I am still in awe of him. Its the same with Ashlea now....its just as exciting 2nd time round!
Jess - thats fantastic that everything is going well!!!! I've never been the type of person to go all gooshy and stuff - so I don't really experience the same type of feelings with my kidlets - but sometimes I do go in when they are sleeping and admit they are pretty cute!! LOL
Tan - yeah I was pretty happy with that shot!! We got some of her this morning FINALLY smiling - kept on missing it.. will have to upload them later on. OH, can you PM me your address - got Craig to put the meet up pics on cd last night for you.
Zee - good to see you mate - great pics!
Anastasia - I remember shopping at Highpoint... my exH used to work for Rebel Sport there.. he now works for Bunnings...
Well we had another good night last night.... She woke up at 3.30 and DH got up and put the dummy in her mouth and we all slept until 5.30 when DS woke up.. unfortunately we didn't get to bed till around 11ish (I was cleaning the study and DH was on the computer) so we didn't get a heap of sleep, but most of it was in a huge block so that makes a difference!!!!
I think either the chiro or gaviscon might be helping - she is still screaming but doesn't seem to last as long. Was so angry at my MIL yesterday - the first thing she said when she saw her "oh you've got a double chin..." like, WTF!??! You don't see my daughter for a couple of weeks and thats the first thing you say?!?! Plus, when DH told her about DS telling us he was going to poo.. she said "OH... then you should have put him on the potty shouldn't you"..
PFFFT... I hate her sometimes... never anything positive, just running me down...
Anyway.. thats my rant for the day!!! Need to go out and start pulling out weeds in the garden (not that you can call it a garden - more like a jungle..)
Well it's another beautiful morning here in Melbourne, oh and we lost an hours sleep cause of daylight savings bugger! DD is sleeping at the moment, I'm so impressed with her we had a great night we feed her at 9pm and she didn't wake until 4:45am woohoo.. I couldn't believe how well she slept. I really hope it keeps on going.
Kell - Isabel has to get her own passport. Interview went well I'm hoping that we receive her passport by Thursday so that I can book the flights.
Mel - Oh your DD is just gorgeous love the pose. I can't wait to see more pics of them both. I can't believe your MIL's comment too all little bubs have double chins I know that little Isabel does. I hope she keeps us with her sleeping too for you hun.
Zee - love the photos hun looks like you guys had a great time out together and the girls are all just gorgeous.
Tannis - hun how are you doing?
Jess - I'm sure that I'll get to see little Georgia smiling and talking. I know what you mean about loving her more now, I could just eat Isabel too especially when she does something so cute.
Tasia - It's really nice that you had a great time shopping with your niece. How is little Jonathan going?
SW - Wow that's going to be an expensive house you're building can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all finished. Do you know how long it will take to build??
Skittlebub - Oh hun I really do hope that Maddi starts to sleep more for you, I know how hard it is, but Izzy is much better now so hopefully your DD will start to sleep during the night for you.
A BIG :wave: to all I have missed I hope you all have a great Sunday!
Hows everyone going with day light saving?? I cant believe its 12pm here already!
Miss Keira is starting become a little demander! If she is in her bouncer and cannot see you she will scry, scream, carry on.. the minute you walk over to her she lights up in a big smile! She loves attention. If you look at her and give her some attention, she will smile and goo and talk her head off! I can see shes going to be a show off child lol.
Oh and Jesse has a new love for guitars! Which i am very happy about lol. I didnt push it on him, he started it. It first started with the Wiggles and when "Play your guitar with Murray" was on he would get his wiggles guitar out and dance around and play it. Then theres another show on that they play guitars and its always "geta".. we were at the shops the other week, there was a shirt with a guitar on it.. "GETA!" so i bought it.. every time we see a guitar its "GETA!". Lucky for him i have 2 guitars in his cupboard that were mine.. might even get one out this arvo and see what he thinks.
Mez.. oh how exciting! Izzy flies free doesnt she since she's under 2?
Mel.. i hear ya re your MIL.. very rude! They always know better.. hmmm. And 2 FIRM SMACKS FOR YOU! You are NOT a bad mother!!!! Dont ever think that!!!
And anyone else that thinks they are a bad mother youll be getting 2 firm smacks too! Because its utter BS! You love your children and you are just trying to do whats best for them. They may scream and cry and carry on.. rebel even.. but thats their job.. theyre there to challenge us! But they love you more than anyone and anything in this world, and always will
Jessica.. good to hear from you and that everything is going so well. Yep know exactly what you mean! Its funny, when you have one already, before bubs is born you really doubt whether youll be able to love someone else as much. Then theyre here and you love them with all your heart.. and as time goes on it just grows and grows as it did for your first. Such a great feeling hey.
Tenny.. lol oh dear. I didnt think they thought like that until they were teenagers! Lets hope its just a phase hun, im sure it is. I guess the only thing you can do is just say ok Jayden and leave it at that. I know its hard when youre trying to teach them to speak right. But i guess he will be starting school soon and they will correct it all there. you are doing a wonderful job ok.
Hey folks
Kel - I hear ya on the daylight saving thing - it's nearly 4 already! Where did today go?
Tan - thanks re: the photos. obviously we think she is pretty cute
Tenny - everyone seems to say she looks like the Bear .... Friday at mother's group was the first time someone actually said "wow you can tell she's her mother's daughter can't you!" I was chuffed!
JK - we feel the same about Beth... and the Bear is just as mushy as I am.... we're always calling each other to come and see the cute thing she is doing.
Zee & Belle great pics - looks like you had a great time!
Mel - Beth has a double chin too, she's had it since she was 3 weeks old. for a good night! It occurred to me the other day that I never actually try just putting the dummy in when she wakes up at night... so tried it last night .... she wasn't having a bar of it so we were up at 4.45 ... well 5.45 daylight saving time! one good thing about daylight saving, it made it seem like a more civilised hour than it was!
SW - about your house!!!!! Hope it doesn't end up costing that much!
skittle - hope you get some sleep soon hon
Well we are off to the IL's for dinner tonight, had my mother hanging around this morning but she's left now..... got to make lunch... although it's half way to dinner time! so catch up later all to all i've missed....
Mel: I still haven't got one of Ash smiling I don't think. I'll PM you...I meant to do it earlier but forgot! YAY for M's sleep and glad the gaviscon/chiro is working. Grr @ your MIL! Dbl chins are good, means healthy baby!
Mez: You seem to be having a lot of beautiful days in Melb! I might have to come down. YAY for her good sleep.
Kell: We don't get DLS, I kind of miss it! How cute Jesse liking the 'GETA' Jayden is getting a Wiggles guitar for xmas so I hope he likes it.
Pix: Have fun at your IL's, mine are here for dinner tonight.
I am looking up flights to Melb ATM, just looking at one way at this stage after an argument I had not long ago with Chris...OMG he annoys me so much!
