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...

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.

Hiya all,

Had a busy weekend, went to the zoo yesterday..we went this time last yr and Laila didnt really understand but she loved it yesterday. Lucas has a cold still.. Lucas slept from 8.30pm till 3.45am.. he always feeds every 3 hrs so i was happy with that. Got to spend some time with DH and got almost 4 hrs sleep so feeling refreshed LOL. Hope this is the start of it considering Laila was sleeping 12 hrs through the night by 6 weeks old.

Thanks for the PM Belle & Rach!

Belle- Sorry hun got your missed call, tried to call back but no answer but now I know you and the family are sick.. yep lollipops sounds great, we will do next thursday so your family can get better.

Rach- Has Geoff started his new job? As a chef?

Mel- YAY on Aricyn sleeping in his big bed, I didnt find it at all hard with Laila.

Missy- OMG, your lucky it was you in a sense and not Callum

Pink- She sounds like Lucas, he barely sleeps during the day aswell

Mary- I think Lucas is tetthing aswell.. over the last week he has been so spitty and his bottom gums are super swallon.. Laila got her 1st 2 teeth at 4 months so it dosnt suprise me.

Kristy- YAY on the twins sleeping through the night..

Hello everyone else...

I have a friend coming over tomorrow so I will try and get on after she goes home.

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

[Jewel]

Mel - Thanks for answering my questions. Haydie sort of favours one side. He's gotten better with it lately, and he's not hating Tummytime that much anymore too, so he gets alot of that. I might actually look around here and talk to DP about taking him to the chiro. I stumbled across a thread that had stuff about when they also have help coming out (ie, forceps, vac extract) it can also pull things out of alignment. I never knew any of this before. Lol. He seems to not favour it as much anymore, so I dunno though. I'm rambling sorry. :P

Belle - You poor thing. I hope after this batch of sickness it leaves your house for good! I hope you're looking after yourself aswell.

Aha. I'm such a cranky b!atch today. It's like the look on my face is constantly like this --->
Hahahaha.


Oh and yay, I got my huggies swimmer nappy sample thingie the other day. That was some excitement for me. It's funny that such tiny things like that brings excitement these days. I think I need to get out more. LOL!

hi all

No personals today. Well was going to start my diet today, but when I had one mouthful of cerial and bit down there was some thing hard in my mouth so I pulled it out and it was either hard plastic or glass. It was in a triangle shape and very sharp. So that suffed the diet up. I rang nestles to let them know (cherios) it was and they sent a courier out for the packet and glass/plastic. So now I have to start tomorrow but dont want to use the same cerial???

Thanks for all that commented on my photos. Mel read them all and loved readng them.

On the sad side, my mum rang me yest and left a message saying to call back. I knew something was wrong by her tone of her voice. And yes there was. She told me my sisters hubby has Lung cancer ( yes he is a smoker) and is having a opperation on tuesday (tomorrow). She went on to say they didnt want any phone calls until its over. dont know how bad it is just that its in the right lung and down the bottom.

Im off to have coffee with rufalina tomorrow ( if anyone knows her from here) as we have been meaning to meet for a while now so that will be nice. Going to Rhodes shopping cent.

Well better head off as have to have dinner and then go for my walk.

Take care all

oh kell and kristy ill be there on wed at 9.30 if that is ok.

bye
