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!

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!

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

Tenny - I call it my miracle cream yes!!! I had heaps of stretchmarks after DS and this got rid of them - couldn't even tell I had them in the first place - now I've got worse ones, so am using it again every night after my shower...

Ok - the chiro - he just checks how her body is aligned - if her neck is out - which is usually common with babies considering the way that they are delivered - its a rough road, whether down the long road, or out the emergency exit!!!! If it is out, he gently manipulates it back into place, then gives her a little massage to make the muscles loosen up a bit.

We took DS to a chiro on the advice of a MCHN because he was really hard to settle and would prefer to look in the one direction. Then we found out about his neck being out and it was a reason why he couldn't BF properly because it hurt him to stay in the position for that long. So he fixed that. So when we had DD and she was hard to settle, and would prefer one side - then we took her there as well. I highly recommend it, they can fix numerous problems - ie, flat head, colic, reflux just to name a few.

And I don't think you ask very many questions at all.

Pixie - hmmm... I think I could be stalking you.. maybe...

I don't even know if DD would roll over yet - haven't really tried - if I lie her on her back she just turns her head to watch tv.. lol.. and kicks her legs.. but thats about it. We don't really try her on her tummy that often either because she sleeps on her tummy so we don't want her thinking that we want her to go to sleep when its play time!!! LOL.. poor bugger would get all confused

Im not handling the crying very well with my anxiety, thank god they arent crying for 15mins now so I can get some sanity back....

Hope you are all well.

Mel after the rolling over incident DD actually didn't cry during tummy time for the first time ever. it's like she knows she can get out of it that position now!
and don't be so sure - I might be stalking you LOL
