Mez - how come they told you that? Sorry if its too personal, I'm just curious

[Tannis]

Belle: Thats great you can use Julia's old clothes, Ashlea has some of Jayden's but I like her in pink and purple...Jayden only has 1 little pink tshirt but its too boyish for Ashlea.

Tenny: Your DP hangs washing and does dishes! WOW Chris wouldn't even consider it haha How fast do baby's nails grow! I am always cutting Ashlea's!

Mez: We'll definitely organise a meet up...Is Northland too far any Melb girls? Chris is acting like nothing happened and I honestly can't be bothered fighting. Just give Izzy lots of cuddles over the next few days and a bit of panadol if you think she needs it.

Mel: Woohoo for Mehkelti's sleep through! I hope the Chiro did work, although I hope its the gaviscon, I'm sure thats cheaper than the chiro LOL. YAY on your mum being home too!

I rang my mum today and I mentioned I was looking at flights to Melb but commented on how expensive it was now, but I could get flights for me and the kids (not chris) and car hire for just over $1000 which was the cheapest I had found. She has offered to give me $1000 to come down whenever it suits! I was wrapped! So I am definitely going down just got to organise when, if I leave to Dec (but thats still 8wks away) or go sooner but pay a bit more. I am so excited, although I would have loved for my parents to come up and see our house as well. She told me Doncaster Shopping town (those in Melb would know it I'm sure) has heaps of great shops so I'll be giving the credit card a good work out thereno doubt LOL...YAY I'm excited!!! It also might give Chris and I the break that I think we need!

Another unbelievable thing happened today....Jayden is having a day sleep!!! Plus Ashlea is asleep so free time for me! I better have some lunch and get on the bike!

[*Belle*]

Tannis - hehe Julia's favourite colour is purple!

Not a good night was had by us girls, DH grumpy all night with earache and still sick with virus, me grumpy from looking after him and the girls all week and no break, fights happen, then Julia woke up twice in the night crying uncontrollably and had a high temp so gave her nurofen. DH questioning everything I do at the moment yesterday and today regarding food for Julia and the house and just in general, driving me bonkers, took them to the doc this morning as this morning was not good for either of them they both have ear infections and high temp for Julia so hope they both get better soon. As for me im ok just exausted and want time to myself, cant get it though im exausted between feeding Tara inbetween looking after DH and Julia last night. Tara wont sleep today either and had to top her up with formula as my milk supply low due to stress probably. Other than that got mothers group tomorrow first time should be good.

Mez hon totally normal uncomfy baby after needles have you given her panadol at all? if not I would recommend.

Back later my little girl has fallen sleep in the swing yay, going to put her in her new sleeping back, back soon.

lol at you crazy people wanting to TTC soon! hehe nah good luck to you!!!
We're not going for #3 until Jesse's in school... or close to it anyway.

Mel.. how exciting to have your mum home!

Tenny.. oh they grow so fast hey! At one point i remember with Jesse i was cutting them every second day!


ok back again later to continue

[Ayapi]

Mel - that's cool you can be curious, I'm small and unable to give birth naturally which is why I have to have my next one a c-section. Oh and I have fibroids that are in the way of the birthing canal.

Kell - yep we probably are crazy for trying again so soon but I would rather get them both out of nappies and going to school in one hit

Tannis - oh how exciting your mum offering you the money, well when you do organise a time hun let us know and we can meet you where ever is convenient for you.

Belle - I hope that you get some rest soon hun. I also hope that everyone gets better soon.

[jessicakate]

Good afternoon lovelies. Well little Georgia is in bed snoozing and the house is clean thanks to DH's efforts over the weekend, so I have free time. yay. I'm gonna do a load of washing in a minute, but this is more fun.

Hi Tan - I'm glad everything is ok with your bubbas, but sorry that Chris is still annoying you so much. I just realised on your ticker that he is 32!! I don't know if he'll change much now. It would be great to see you if you are in Melbourne. I have never been to Northland. I think it is pretty far away from me, but we'll see what we can organise. Actually Doncaster has a brand new Village Cinemas opening too and it is supposed to be really high tech and good. so maybe a movie will be in order.

Mel - no offence but your MIL sounds like a biatch, thank goodness your mum is back to balance things out.

Mez - yeah the weather yesterday turned out great, I can't believe how awful it is today though. wet wet wet. we even got some hail before. I am not leaving the house today.
You reminded me when you said we should meet up with Tan, that it is probably time for the next Melbourne mummy's meet-up. we said once a month right? we'd be close to that by now wouldn't we... Feeb and Tasia are you ready for another meet. also regarding Izzy with her needles etc. when exactly did she have them done? the pedi that did Georgia's said that they shouldn't experience any side effects after 24 hours. It could be that she doesn't like being in the cot during the day cos you are far away from her if you are in your lounge room. or maybe she isn't tired out enough from the sleep before. we sort of do a feed play sleep routine, so since she isn't having that many feeds anymore, maybe you could add another one in during the day, even if it is only half a bottle, and then you could get in an extra playtime and an extra sleep. I find with Georgia that if we do a really intensive playtime for about 20 minutes to half an hour (including change table time with singing and maybe reading a story, some tummy time, and time playing on her back under the baby gym thing, that she starts yawning, and gets a bit grissly, and then she will go to sleep for between about 1 and a half to 2 and a half hours. repeat process.

Kellxx, the Geta thing sounds soooo cute. wow you might end up with a little rocker in your house. can he sing?? maybe your love of Bon Jovi is coming through.

Pixie - how was dinner at your IL's? I thought that in the last lot of photos you guys put up that Beth looked just like you. however when she was born I thought she was heaps like the Bear. so she obviously has a great mix of both of you.

Tenny - I can't believe that the bubs are nearly 3 months old either. where has the time gone??? and Christmas, gosh, I can't even picture it yet.

Hi Belle - that is great that Tara can fit into Julia's clothes. I am going to put mine all away in size labelled boxes for when we have our next one.

On the TTC comments. I don't know exactly when we will try again, but at the moment I feel like I could do it again now... but then again I have heard that it is pretty common for women to feel this way at around the 3 month mark. not sure why.

ok well this post is way way too long... sorry. BBL.

[feeb]

Hi all hope you all had a good weekend.

Was a lovely weekend in melb pity today isnt nice!!! I have been out for lunch with some friends and ther kids!!

Tan sorry to here things are not good for u!! bloddy males. Northland could be ok for a meet up as long as i could leave by 2pm due to traffic issues. Doncaster is a bit too far, maybe in the city or northland.


Mel yeah for your mum being home!!! I am alos looking at TTC next yr

Mez I am also thinking TTC next year!! give izzy some panadol.

Hi to everyone else

[Ayapi]

Melbourne girls - yep I'm ready for another meet up, just let me know where and when and Izzy and I will be there...

[Arimeh]

Mez - ahhh I see.. Well I can honestly say my recovery was SOOO much better after my 2nd c-section than my first.... hardly hurt at all.. (except when i got an infection in my uterus.. THAT was painful..)

So TTC next year - there is me, feeb, Mez....maybe Jess? hehe

Tan - that sounds like fun!! Pick me up on your way through... As long as someone can promise me that i won't run into my exH - I'm in for a trip to Melbourne!!! LOL

[feeb]

Melb girls how about thursday 9th?? that is this week i know short notice

[Tannis]

Belle: Hope Julia and DH are better soon and you can get looked after!

Kell: I'm with you, IF we ever have a 3rd it won't be until Jayden is in school.

Mel: Seriously you wanna come down for a little while with me? You don't have to stay as long as I am but that would be great to have someone on the plane with me!

My little princess just woke up after her 3.5hr sleep!!! Better go feed her

[Arimeh]

Tan - I would LOVE to.. but can't afford the flights plus accommodation....

[somewoman]

Mel: Seriously you wanna come down for a little while with me? You don't have to stay as long as I am but that would be great to have someone on the plane with me!

come on girls - do it for the 3rd of Nov!!! That's when I'll be there

Mez - FYI Govt website PDF doc on rotavirus vaccine. Note the side effects section that states "Vaccine recipients developed gastrointestinal symptoms such as
diarrhoea or vomiting in the week after rotavirus vaccination" - gastrointestinal symptoms that include tummy pain that could be the reasoning behind Izzy's current unsettled state. She'll host the virus for up to two weeks, but you can get side effects for up to a week. It's not a full week yet, so give it a couple more days and if she's still unsettled then maybe look for other reasons? We were told that it is pretty common for them to be unsettled with wind-type pain for up to a week. Think we're just lucky in that Alyssa has been fine. A google search showed up lots of mums around the world complaining on baby forums about similar type behaviour in their bubs in the week after the rotavirus vaccine. Their little systems are actually battling a live virus - it's really not too nice. Hope this helps

[somewoman]

Tan - I would LOVE to.. but can't afford the flights plus accommodation....

I can get you accommodation from the 4th to 7th if you wanna come and stay in Ballarat for a few days

[jessicakate]

thanks for the info SW. sounds like a good posibility that she could have tummy pains - hopefully she is over it soon, for Izzy's sake and Mez's. There is nothing worse than when your baby screams and you can tell they are in pain. I remember one of the other mums in my mothers group said that cos it was a live virus that we should be extra careful when handling the poop.

Feeb I have mother's group on a Thursday. I missed last week cos of having a tiler over to fix up the tiles around our laundry sink last week, so I can't really miss it this week. I know you are busy but can you fit in any other day? maybe early next week?

[jessicakate]

SW what day is November 3? Do you really have time to do a meet up? cos we could probably really arrange it.

[ShootingStar]

Oh i want another meet up now! lol. Sydney peoples lets do it!

Jessica.. lol.. um not really just yet.. he tries to sing words of a song thats on telly but its just mumble jumble atm.. will have to see when time goes on. lol yep! I hope he is as good as Richie Sambora if he continues to like Guitars!!

Mez.. fair enough hunny! ill be cheerin ya gals on!

Belle.. sorry things arent going well for you atm. I hope Jeffery stops being a ***** and helps you out soon. Whenever men are sick theyre practically dying! Hope things pick up for you soon!

Tannis.. oh thats awesome! How nice of your mum! How exciting! When you going? Oh and Jayden sleeping! You better go buy a lotto ticket hun!!!

Well miss Keira is almost rolling over HOLEY CRAP! Shes been doing it for days! Rolling onto her side. Today she was almost over.. just one more move and she woulda face planted the mat! Id say tomorrow or the day after she'll completely make it over! Jesse never rolled until he was 4 months! Shes also enjoying doing 360's on the mat on her back! Man this kid is going to be crawling and walking in no time

Ooow had to ask.. how much are bubs drinking now? those bottle fed.. and esp those on AR Formula??

[somewoman]

SW what day is November 3? Do you really have time to do a meet up? cos we could probably really arrange it.

It is a Monday =)

I'm in town to go to the Def Leppard concert with my bro on that night, so am good to meet up for morning or afternoon tea =) If the monday really sucks, I can do the Tuesday morning, but I need to leave by about 11 or 12ish to get the rental car to Ballarat in time.
