Babies Born July 16th - 31st 2008 #4

[*Belle*]

Hi girls

Havent been around been looking after my girls not being well, so have missed the last few pages whats going on? I dont understand , maybe its because its 5am and I cant sleep.

Im sorry couldnt make the meetup this week but like I said the girls are sick. Where did you end up meeting it looks great!

When I meet Zee at Lollipops last time we mentioned to each other we should make it a regular fortnight thing to and coffee anyone welcome, we just havent set anything up yet. Next thurs sounds good at Lollipops at CastleHill Zee, I took Julia to the new one at Frenchs Forest today which is 15mins from my mums house and mine cause she wanted to see Tara and Julia was wild at home even though sick her balance isnt great as her ear is still bad but, it was good. It cost us $12 I think with a free coffee, the one at Castle hill is cheaper.

Kristy - love to meet up at the beach too. Julia loves the beach, my mum lives at Mona Vale near the beach and she goes there all the time.

Syd girls = What beach is good for you guys? ralmoral is cool as you can sit on the beach or the grass and they have a little play area with a swing too and they have a fish n chip shop too or sandwich shop across the road. The parking is only metered in one area not all the areas so thats a bonus. Was thinking that maybe closer for you guys rather than the northern beaches? But if you like northern beaches Dee why is great or open to any other suggestions?

SW - Happy 21st birthday!!

hey guys how was your night.

ours was ok. twins woke at 1.30ish i fed them and they slept untill 5.30am and are asleep again now.
Isaac woke at 2am and 6am (tho i was already up both times) he stired about 4ish but i just ignored him and he went back to sleep.
i decided to get DH to take him to school early today. i usually drop him off at about 8.30 but im tired so he started at 7.30 and they will give him breakfast, besides he likes to have breakfast with the other early kids. they make it fun for him.

so today ( i have no car) i'm just gunna hang out on BB and maybe do my floors. with possibly some online christmas shopping.

Bell- i assume you mean balmoral beach, i have never been there. i usually go to one in the northan beachers, it has a pool and little lagoon thing, accross from a caravan park? kell do you know where i mean you came from out that way. i cant remember.
but any is fine for me no matter what way i drive north / south or east its all about 1.5-2 hours so everyone else can pick. but the park sounds good.
i will need a new shade tent before we can go tho i hate to burn and never ever sun bake, ike loves the beach too just not the waves, he may be different now he is older. i would have to have him on the leash this time so i didn't loose him.
Might look for a shade tent /or 1/2 dome on deals direct today.

Castle Atrium (RSL) has a kid day on tuesdays with a clown and play area on tuesdays between 10.30am and 2pm (i think) might be good. but i think Callum is at school on a tuesday. maybe we can just go another day have a chat, coffee and cake and the kids can stll play in the play area, i think its a secure area too.

i'm out for thursday meets!as you know Isaac is at school and also i think Jesse starts on a thursay next year (i think) so if you wanna meet with me too it will have to be any other day.

Tannis- they r sposie nappies from the chemist, used them 4 the twins, but they leaked last night, both babies. i generally use cloth but i like sposies for night and when we go out. i like the aldi brand best for a cheap sposie.

i am quite happy with myself atm... yesterday i tried a pair of size 14 jeans on and they fit perfect, no muffin top at all decided not to buy them tho, will waite a few more weeks so i can hopefully buy a size 12-13. i doubt i will ever be smaller than that my frame isn't made for it. lypo and a booby job here i come

mel what bed did you get for aricyn? you probably already said it so i will have a look back thru the posts.

i stll cant believe its only 9.5 weeks till christmas. OMG... i need to buy 2 more santa stockings.
YES!!! tell me how does sants visit your house? santa on'y brings lots of small gifts to us, major gifts come from us (why should santa get all the credit) we wrap all gifts and put them in a huge santa stocking.
i ask as my DH did it different! they didn't have any gifts under the tree before christmas and his mum (and santa) would put all the gifts under the tree while he was in bed, they didn't have a stocking.
when isaac is older we will do milk and cookies etc and also glitter around the front door or window its left over magic dust that santa uses go get inside the house. my parents used to do this aswell its from an old movie but we loved it as kids.

Happy Birthday SW...oh to be 21 again.. nope wouldn't go back their. maybe i'll stay at 25y/o.OOPS passed that one, i'll try to stop at 30...actually 29 is a good age.

baby stiring BBL but I'll be on and off today take care
hey to those i missed but will chat to you today.

[*Belle*]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SW! hope you have a wonderful day!

Kristy - How r the boys? Yeah I meant Balmoral beach, sorry I was 1/2 sleep this morning. I know where you mean I think its Narabeen Lake? its lovely there I have been there ages ago though about 5 years ago! happy to go there too. Its great for kids to go in the lake bit near the ocean but not in it iykwim. We just cant do Mondays and Tuesdays as Julia is at daycare so If you want to meet with me too it will need to be Wed or Fridays. Some Fridays Julia stays at my mums place so Wednesdays are looking the best for us I guess. Im going to target today cause they have 30% of kids sandals maybe they have one of those shade things, your right it is a good idea wonder how much they are?

DH is sick again at home (so much for time to myself and Tara) so I am dropping Julia off at Mums today she is minding her until Saturday which will be a good break for us and for Julia she gets to go to the beach and park etc and be the centre of attention which is hard when you have a newborn.

Hello to everyone and thanks for all your lovely thoughts about my PND I really appreciate your support girls.

Back later for personals Julias whining she wants more Dora.

Morning All!

sw.. i have no idea what you are talking about.. im pleased with who i am and what colour my hair is.. and no i dont find derogatory comments fun or funny, especially when it had no real context in the statement to begin with. I had nothing to do with what was going on last night. I have no idea why you are singling me out.. but i dont have the time and patience for someone who wants to continually attack me on this forum.

Kristy.. hmm you could be referring to either Dee Why or North Narabeen beach? Is it near a lake also? With the lagoon, do you mean like a lake that kinda goes out to the sea? If so yeh thats North Narrabeen and Narrabeen Lakes. Yep Jesse will be starting school next year.. If we go somewhere for coffee wise, would have to be local so we can be back to pick them up in time. YAY for the Jeans! Woo you looked like a hot mumma! lol even though i didnt see you try them on.. im just guessing you would lmao. Oh Love the new sig!!! Ooow youre getting fox! Yep its on fox. Stupid show.. kinda like candid camera but scarey.. but theyre so lame! And Shannon, well need i say more lol. Oh you will love fox! At first i was like mehh yeh ok (cos it was Grahame who wanted it).. now i love it! Make sure you tell them you want free installation!
Re Santa.. um.. its kinda 50/50 atm. Jesse's still too young to understand where they come from. We may end up just doing what my parents did though.. most presents are from Santa and one gift from mum and dad.. i liked what they did also though.. every year Santa brought a present for the family which was a board game. I think ill be definately doing that... such a nice idea and thing for the family to play together. Oh with Grahame.. he just goes with what i say lol.

Mel.. oh Jesse is still waking every night.. i hear it continues for quite a while yet Oh bummer. But yeh the drive might be nice? All the best for your VBAC2

Missy.. oh dear.. what a night. Hope you can get some rest today some time.

Feeb.. lol re Jacob's tongue! Keira has tongue tie so hers doesnt come out very far but one of Kristy's boys have a long tongue.. i think its Sebastian. We were saying, Gene Simmons eat your hear out

Tasia.. going to check out your pics now honey!

Tannis.. thanks hun. Yeh ive never had it before.. no idea why.. still here though

Well our night was ok. Jesse didnt wake up.. shock horror! But Keira did at 5am grr. So i fed her cos she was wide awake and i didnt have the energy to keep getting up and putting the dummy in. So put her back to bed at 5.30am. DH gets up for work at 6.30am.. Jesse then comes in with me until he leaves.. then we have to wave him off. So i then napped on the couch while he played until Keira woke at 9.30am. Tried to give her a bottle and she didnt want a bar of it. Go figure! I was thinking she was waking up early because she was hungry so thought ok ill try and start feeding her 200mls instead of 150mls. Well she drank about 80mls and wouldnt have any more. Shes now asleep in her rocker. So who knows.

Have Keira's needles this arvo. Joy joy. Gonna dose her up with panadol before we leave.. so hopefully we dont get a reaccurance of Jesse and his first needles.

[Arimeh]

All the best for your VBAC2

Thanks

Hope Keira goes ok with her needles *ouch*

Missy - thanks I hope it works for you as well as it does for me!!!

[Ayapi]

Morning all,

WOW everyone talked up a storm last night got a little lost but hey really don't want to get into any crap just want this forum for some support and friendly advice.

SW - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I hope you have a wonderful day and your DH and beautiful princess spoil you rotten.

Kell - I did the same routine as you do with Keira yesterday with Isabel and OMIGOD it worked, her last feed was at 10pm, she woke at 8am this morning and only cause we woke her to feed her so that I can do the same routine again today!!! Good luck today with Keira's needles I'm sure she will be fine.

Tannis - I thought we had already organised it like Feeb said for Monday 3rd November at Southbank. I live in Ascot Vale if that helps. SW we are hoping that you and Alyssa are also able to make the meet up.

Well better go and get Isabel feed and back to bed. BBL

Morning All!

sw.. i have no idea what you are talking about.. im pleased with who i am and what colour my hair is.. and no i dont find derogatory comments fun or funny, especially when it had no real context in the statement to begin with. I had nothing to do with what was going on last night. I have no idea why you are singling me out.. but i dont have the time and patience for someone who wants to continually attack me on this forum.

LMAO

ok. here we go.

YOU seem to take issue with most of what I say. You haven't addressed me directly in a LONG time except to tell me off for apparently having a go. Other people seem to have gotten the jokes where you've gotten paranoid. I certainly didn't single you out about ANYTHING - you got paranoid. Plain and simple.

Much of what was said last night was because there was SO MUCH CRAP that was going around that had no place in this thread. It seemed to me that the attack was against someone else who had been singled out - and quite unfairly.

My last one about the blonde was (again) a joke - complete with disclaimer. Indeed, I have blonde friends who are incredibly intelligent. The comment about it BEING a joke was because you seem unable to accept it as a joke when it comes from me. Again - paranoid. You take so much of what I say and turn it into a personal slant against you.

Here's the kicker - you just don't matter that much to me that I would bother making everything about you. Get over it.

[ShootingStar]

Thanks ladies re the needles. She should be fine. Im actually interested to see how i feel re her having the needles. Like with Jesse, his first ones i was in tears.. the rest i was ok.. just being its her first.. who knows. How was everyone else with their 2nd kids? Im going on my own with her, so DH can watch Jesse so yes will be interesting!

Mez.. oh YAY! i hope thats the start for her!! WOOHOO!! Let me know how she goes tonight! Thats so good!

Missy.. you know what i was thinking the other night re the love handles.. you need somewhere to sit them on your hip when you hold them lol! With no hips, they'd slide right off pmsl!

Hello everyone else.. hope youre having a top day!

[Arimeh]

Happy birthday SW - love ya babe *mwah* Hope your gorgeous husband and bubba treat you like the star you are today (and what about the wild sex?? huh?? huh??? lol)

Hey Belle - sounds great for Julia - what a great mum ypu have!!

Kristy - nice to know someone else's toddler still wakes up a couple of times a night!! We got him a Mammut bed from Ikea cos its really close to the ground and is so damn cute!!

RE - christmas - we don't celebrate xmas in this house - we celebrate birthdays - so I doubt we will be putting anything out for "santa"

Tan - yeah mate I think it is our turn to come to you.. maybe early next year...lol

We were tossing up going to Tassie to see my dad (who has never met the kids) with the money from K. Rudd - but we will get it in a lump sum at the end of the financial year unfortunately - and I wanted to fly before DS turns 2 so he gets on for free - so now that trip is out of the question!!

Maybe we will do a drive down and visit people in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne instead

No news here really - got support from my OB yesterday to start TTC in June and have my VBA2C - so thats good. Didn't even need a pap smear woohoo!!

Ok she has finished her bottle - time to burp!

[somewoman]

Happy birthday SW - love ya babe *mwah* Hope your gorgeous husband and bubba treat you like the star you are today (and what about the wild sex?? huh?? huh??? lol)

Hah! We tried that last year and now we have Alyssa!!

[Arimeh]

PMSL... hmmm... good point!!!!!!

Missy - all clear now hun

[thepixie]

Happy Birthday SW!!! Another libran....... But I'm more of an old fart than you! LOL Hope you have a great day!
Belle, love the beach, great idea! Any of those sound good to me, I will leave it up to everyone else to choose though, because we are probably closer than most people. Would the toddlers be OK at the beach, not too much hassle to chase after?
Tan babe - I'm toying with the idea of a lightning trip to Melbourne but I thought cup weekend would be too busy/ expensive. If you are there till the 9th maybe I will come a bit later.... I have some virgin blue reward points to use up.... hmm get back to you on that. And Beth has started turning her head when she's feeding too - hope she doesn't keep doing it, it's killing my nipples!
Kristy I know what you mean about the 11pm feed. I have that dilemma every night - do I wake her for a feed, try to dreamfeed or let her sleep? Unfortunately dreamfeeds only work once in a blue moon (I think it worked once) other times she either won't feed in her sleep or only takes five mins. Or she wakes up. If I don't wake her she wakes up twice in the night, so I generally wake her up, she feeds and usually goes back to sleep without much drama but at that time of night I feel bad for waking her and worry that she won't go back to sleep... she always does though. Last night she slept from 11.30 to 5.30 happy mummy!
9.5 weeks to Xmas - eek! I think most of my shopping will be on dealsdirect this year! Bear was saying we probably wouldn't buy much for Beth this year although I have so enjoyed seeing her with the new toy I got her the other day I am not so sure!
