Babies Born July 16th - 31st 2008 #4

Wow so much chatting since I was last on!!! How am I going to catch up...

Kristy - you will have to give me your recipe for spag bol if its that good!!!!

I hope you guys have a good time at your meet up (who am I kidding - course you will!!!)

Jess - I bet G looks gorgeous in her dresses!!!

Welcome back Pixie & Bear - the pics look fab!!! Beth is so gorgeous... excellent that she was such a good baby for you too!! Thats always helpful!!! Oh and happy birthday for the other day Rach - I was going to send you a message on facebook - but I got distracted....

Missy - I agree - 24weeks does seem a bit wrong to abort - I've always been pro-abortions though in circumstances like the woman was raped or something like that - cos I wouldn't want to have a baby to a man who raped me.... but yeah.. 24 weeks ... seems a bit inhumane..... and those pics of Callum are gorgeous!! If I showed A those, he would say "oOOOHHhhh.. big TOOT TOOT..." pmsl!!!

tan - we have a treadmill too - but.. uh.. its downstairs.. and I don't use it.. lol... can't fit it in the loungeroom with all of A's toys.... did you give Chris his hat?? Oh and we give A his vitamins in the syringe, he gets claps and yays when he has his "vitamins" so he takes them no trouble.

Belle - Tara is SOO gorgeous!!!!

Kel - we had homemade pizza last night for dinner - yummo!!!!! (all low fat of course... unfortunately!!)

Tenny - you are doing such a great job... do you know that kids only play up for their parents cos they know in their hearts that their parents won't kill them.. but can't trust that strangers or other family members won't.. PMSL.. thats the explanation I got from my brother anyway - cos A is such a different kid down at their house, and at day care, and with his grandparents.... but such a naughty little so-and-so with me!!!!! My MIL always said that DS NEVER played up, was such a good kid, and it used to pi$$ me off.. now they don't watch him that often so not getting cranky as often..

Oh missy- yay for the full night sleep!!!! And Melissa's room looks tops!!! Wish I had that at her age!!!

Anastasia - Tan is not shy - could talk the ear off a donkey if she had to (JUST KIDDING TAN.. ME LOVE YA!!! hehehe)

Mez - hope that the tax works out in your favour - ouch for the 3 years!!!! With regard to bottles - M wakes up usually at 6, and I give it to her every 3 hours (cos she is a catnapper) so she gets one at 6, 9, 12, 3 and 6 - then will sleep from after that bottle till 6 in the morning. So she gets the 5 bottles a day - but has a 12 hour break in between... seems to work for her (and us!!)

Kel - fingers crossed for the new place!! ( I love moving - get to chuck heaps of crap out..lol)

I'm a bit all over the place with these personals aren't I... hmm

Anyhoo - us...

DS moved to his big boy bed last night - so far so good. DH got up to him during the night (he was sideways) but he never fell out or anything. I will post a pic later on of his new bed.. my little man is growing up!! Felt a little sad last night sitting next to him while he was going to sleep - such a big move from the cot to a bed!!!! But - now his sister can go into the cot cos she's getting too big for the bassinette... and keeps putting her head down the side and getting stuck.

I think thats the latest from here... she woke up once last night - but settled quickly with a dummy.. then woke at 6.45!!! So that was pretty good.. she's getting good at not needing to be fed after 6pm ...

weigh in day tomorrow for my first week on the diet.. hopefully I have lost a bit...

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!

OH - Nearly forgot (duh dumb mummy) I brought a car yesterday (yeah I know, how could I forget THAT!! lol) I pick it up on the 24th - since I'm going back to work on the 3rd November - I wanted a car of my own!!!

So yup, thats all the goss.

Heyas.
Very quiet in here today.
Thank you for reading and replying to my MEMEME post before.
Thanks for making me feel better, and it helps heaps just to get it out. I tell DP but I swear he tunes out half the time and that doesn't help any. lol

Kell - Elijah will be starting Kindy next year. It kind of freaks me out that it's coming up so fast, but he's definately ready. I hope you guys get the bigger place. Boys need more space to go wild in. Lol. Elijah would go mental with only a small backyard to play in, I think.

Missy - OMG. I love Melissa's room. I wish I had a great room like that when I was growing up. Your photos are so awesome too. Thanks for sharing.

Mel - That's so true about the kids only being naughty for their parents, well in my case I reckon it's only for me. Elijah doesn't seem half as naughty when it's just DP. It's such a kick in the guts for me. Lol. I'm having a feel sorry for me few days. Hehe.
GO Aricyn!!! It's a bit of a bittersweet moment when they move to a big bed, isn't it. I'm glad he had a smooth transition so far. He keeps it up.
YAY! Congrats on the new car. That's so excitinggggggggg!!!! WHOOHOO!

Tasia - How've you and your DS been going??

Hey Tan, Pixie, Bear, Mez, SW, Skittle, Jess, feeb and anyone else I might have missed. I hope you're all going great.

I'm tired and cranky today. Lol.
Bubbablue is a little off today too. He chucked up heaps this morning.. all over me, and the bed. I'm not sure if he drank it too fast cause we moved up to the next teat, or what. I'm not really sure.
I've also been thinking I need to harden up and say no to people more, and start putting me before them. No one thinks of me first so why should I do it for them? Lol.
Easier said then done though, aye.

MmM. Satay chicken & rice for dinner. YUMMMMMM!

Good evening ladies :0

Hope we all had a good day today. It was really hot in melbourne today, don't like it hehehe.

Missy- Yeah Jonathan is doing really well he drinks all of his 150mls.I might increase in a month or 2 see how he goes. The room looks great & liam is so cute

Kell- I hope you do get the place. It is sad to leave ur house after living there for long. Hopefully watever place you get, i'm sure u will be happy for you & ur family.

Mel- That's good that Tan is not shy. I'm really shy when I meet new people my heart races & get little hot. That's good that A moved into his bed well done and well dne for putting M in her cot. I haven't even put Jonathan in his cot yet, I might do it late Nov early Dec. He is starting to get taller in his bassinette.

Tenny- Hey sweety Jonathan & I r doing really well thank you. How r u & ur kids going Yeah u have to learn to say no sometimes. I used to say YEs YES YES to everything & I'm like WTF why should I, do these people do anything for me NOOOOOOOOOOO. So now I say Yes & No depends wat it is.

Morning all.

Its monday again.... I'm don't know what happened to the weekend it went so quick. probably because DH worked all weekend i guess this will be another 14 day week. hope he can have thursday off to spend with us.

Tennykins i know everyone has already said it but i wanted to also reassure you that you are an awsome mum! the fact that you question yourself prooves it, it means you care. a friend of mine recons 4 year olds are worse than 2 year olds she said that the terrible two's are nothing compared to being 4 and 5. so your not alone and just think whan Elijah has grown out of it and into a beautiful young man we will be begging you to tell us how to deal with our terrors. and don't worry about gran older people sometimes say things without thinking.

Arimeh any time, i got it from my cousins FIL he was (died last year) an old italian man it was his mothers recipe it is surposed to be made with chunks of beef and cooked for 12 hours but im too busy for that and use mince and cook for 3 hours. he was a funny man always talking about his old country and how kids of today wouldn't know good food if it bit them.... "personally i perfer my food not to bite me"
Good for Aricyn he is a big boy now in his bed, i think i will cry when ike goes in one. his cot turns into a toddler bed tho so we will just keep him in it as long as we can and buy new cots for the twins. and our cradle's are really big so i think i have at leats another 4-6 months before we need to get them cots. when they can sit up.

kell- where is the house you saw i saw one in a window of the windsor real estate in FR that looks good.... and hey there is one on my street too but not sure if it has a fence.

missy mel's room is awsome love c u on wednesday. so who is coming now.

Pixie happy belated birthday sorry i missed it hope you had a great time...And i'll check out your pics a bit later bur=t everyons has said they look great so i cant waite to see.

Well we had a nice weekend, after swimming with kell and jesse i droped isaac at mums for a shower and nap and i took the twins home so we could get organised for a party we went to. picked isaac up on the way to the party. it was great all my babies were go well behaved the twins slept thru the whole thing actually people were disapointed cause most missed out on a hold cause they stayed in the pram sound asleep. Isaac was awsome there were about 7 kids there and the oldest was 3 so he loved it played till 11pm crashed in the car on the way home and slept till 7.30am but he was still so tired so went back down for a nap at 9am untill 1pm. we had a great time. we have another bigger party in a few weeks so it was a good practice. on sunday we just hung around the house and my MIL visited.

hmm not much else in new.

we took isaacs bottles away on thursday, he has been good only a couple of tanties but i think he is over the now, and his eating habbits are so much better without them. the dummy goes soon too.

hope my new nappies come today! i would think so. oh i bought a fisher price walker wo walgon from deals direct, for twins for christmas. i just don't know what to get them they already have all of Isaac's old stuff.and we have waaaaaaaaaaay to many toys already.

well better run and hang out the washing while its early. i plan to mow the back yard today its too long and we get snakes already. i like to keep it really short in summer.

take care Hello to Everyone i missed this time

hey everyone!
Hope you all had a good weekend.
Thanks for the birthday wishes.... had a good weekend, pretty quiet birthday, just went out for dinner with the Bear, my dad and my brother. My stepmother is going to get me some spa treatments, look after Beth and CLEAN MY HOUSE for my birthday
The Bear is off slaughtering a pig today, and starts his new job tomorrow so it will just be DD and me. We started asking people if we could borrow their spare cars and now there are three that we can borrow so we won't need to buy one straightaway!
Mel - what kind of car did you end up getting? sorry if you've already said. O and please send me the name of your miracle stretch mark cream.... either pm or on FB...
Tenny babe, you're doing a great job.... tell people to stick it if they don't return the favours you do for them. With two kids you're just too busy to be doing favours for ungrateful so-and-so's!
Kristy your spag bol sounds awesome! 14 hours, the Bear would be impressed!
Mez - yay for sorting out the tax returns! Tax is a four letter word in our house.
Kel, missy, tasia, tan, sw, jk, and waves to anyone I've missed!

[Arimeh]

Mel - what kind of car did you end up getting? sorry if you've already said. O and please send me the name of your miracle stretch mark cream.... either pm or on FB...

We got a white Mazda 323 - 2002 model - its very pretty. Pity it will have such an ugly driver in it...pmsl

Cream - elizabeth arden - green tea enriched body butter. google for stockists. sorry i haven't sent nappies yet, will get them out of cupboard tonight so i remember.

Kristy - geez who has that amount of time to cook!!! lol sounds wonderful though

Another sleep through here from DD - slight fussing at 4.30 but went back to sleep. DS on the other hand... hmmm... no comment...lol... bad night started at 12.30 when he woke up all hysterical and screaming... DH thinks he had a nightmare.. who knows... then he was restless for the rest of the night, so none of us got a good nights sleep.

DD has another chiro appointment today, have to drop DS off at DH's work - too bad if his bosses don't like it - got no choice!! We got a portable DVD player yesterday to go in the car - it was so nice to hear DS giggling this morning to curious george rather than the constant whinging and screaming we usually get in the car!!!

Thats about it i think.. nothin exciting...

[thepixie]

Thanks for that Mel! And for the swimmer nappies, no worries, they won't fit till DD is 7kg anyway so you have some time! We are going to borrow a friend's car (they are OS) cause Bear will need ours to get to work - and it's guess what? a Mazda 323! who is stalking who here! LOL
No sleep throughs here she has been waking at 3-4 again. I try the dummy but she is always starving so it doesn't work!
But we were very proud yesterday, she was lying on her play mat and she rolled all the way over on to her right side, on to her back again and then all the way over on to her left side! clever little monkey! The Bear said she rolled all the way over when he was sitting on the bed with her but I was in the other room.
anyhoo, gotta run and try to finish the dishes before she wakes up hungry!

[Jewel]

Hey,

Kristy - Sounds like Issac had a fantastic time at the party and I'm glad the twin were great and slept the whole time. I so didn't know 4 and 5yr olds would be worse then the terrible twos. I wish someone had of warned me then. I really did think once you got past the terrible twos, it'd be smooth sailing. I was sooooo wrong it's not funny.

Tasia - Good to hear. Hayden is going really well. Elijah is naughty but fine. Thank you for asking.

Pixie - You'd think people would think about things before asking me/expecting me to do things for them since I've got 2 kids now. It's unbelievable, seriously. Glad you had a great birthday. I hope the Bear has a good first day at his job tomorrow. YAY Go BETH!!!! That's awesome. Hayden is doing the roll to one side thingo too.

Mel - There is a miracle stretchmark cream? I have hundreds and thousands of them, do you think it'd still help?? I'm really selfconcious of them lately, I don't really know why though. I hope DS has a better night tonight, so you all can have a good night sleep too. What exactly does the chiro do? How do you know if your baby needs to go to the chiro? Sorry about my questions. I know I asked alot sometimes.

Does anyone elses bubba has a favourite side?

Not much going on with us today.
Have a good rest of the day.

xoxo
