Kel - gorgeous pics, you brew up some stunners!!! I think you should take some video of Jesse throwing a tantie with the screaming, and I'll take some footage of Aricyn doing the same and we'll compare who is the loudest.. lol.. I'd be surprised if my loud mouthed monster didn't win!!! Good that Keira was soo good with her needles, I don't really think Miss M was affected that much by them either..
Tenny - yup I hate those days where you can't put them down.. can't get anything done AT ALL.. its so frustrating isn't it.... usually I just end up putting her in her swing and let her grizzle - she falls asleep eventually!!! LOL And the boys look so much like you because gorgeous just HAS to be repeated ;)
Mez - we have a jolly jumper here - and I remember DS absolutely loving it - so hoping his sister is the same.. we got some great footage and pics from his time in it.. so cute!!!
Feeb - glad you had fun at the expo... :) i bet there were a lot of people there!! So many at the brisbane one.. it was incredible just how many prams can fit in the one place at the same time!!!
DH is channel surfing Austar at the moment... both kids are asleep (woohoo!). Hopefully DS will only wake once tonight - if he has to!!!!!

Sleep: 1.30pm
Wake: 3pm

Sleep: 4.45pm
Wake: 7.30pm
Feed: 8.pm
Bed for the night at 8.30pm and didnt wake untill 8.30am..wooohooo now that is a massive sleep. woooohoo and Callum didnt come into my bed until 6am, so I got the best sleep every.:dance: Im so proud of my little boys!!!
Well Sister was ok, very tired to look at. but doing ok. I was good, didnt cry, I was a brave girl....heheh. Went to see BIL and he was looking farly ok. Very stoned as they have him on massive drugs to stop any pain. All he could do was , talk talk talk....lol but his spirit was good.
Sister hasnt really told any of her friends as its all happen quickly but there is one friend of her's that keeps asking Donna to go visit her but Donna hasnt been able to cause of John, and this friends doesnt know why (and your probably asking why not the friend go and visit her) well Nadine is dying of Breast cancer and is on, well lets say she was in hospital for the last 4 weeks and they didnt think she would leave but came out a few days ago and is wondering why donna hasnt gone to see her. Well Of cause Donna doesnt want to up set her but has not choice now but to tell her why. I just really feel sorry for donna cause she is in for a long touch time. DH will be out of action for at least, 6 months. I couldnt handle it!!!
Im really sorry but not personals as Im about to get Liam a bottle and then heading off to the shops to get some craft things for xmas. Doing bedroom door hangers for xmas for the kids rooms/doors. Going to get one extra for Callum do do for Matt and I
Hope yur all having a wonderful w/end.
Might do some personals abit later or tomorrow maybe.
Take care all and speak soon.;)

Hello!!!
Had a very crappy night last night, Lucas barely slept a wink..by lunch time i called MIL to come over so I could could have an hrs sleep before I clonked out cause he wasnt sleeping today either.
Laila atm is currently screaming her head off, have no idea why.. she wont let DH or me near her, has locked herslef in her room & tries to push us out when we go in..so im just gunna leave her for awhile.
Missy- I really feel sorry for your sister and your whole family. Its great that Liam slept so much last night.
Kellxx- He had seen a Pead a few times, he will finally go to sleep if I hold him but as soon as I put him down he cries. I wish I could somehow hold him all day but its impossible.
Feeb- Im about to get my rings put in, my engagement ring isnt looking so round anymore LOL
Tenny- Thanks, he dosnt always work late but its coming up to a busy time in the yr so it will prob be more often.
Tania & Mel- No I havnt tried the belly cause of his reflux and cause he cries when I try and do tummy time with him.. I will give it ago tonight though.
Mary- I wanna try one out on Lucas..
-
Hey!
:leap: :leap:
Kell - Your photos are so gorgeous! The outfits you have on Keira are the cutest things! Jesse looks so grown up and such a proud big brother. Lovin' the new ticker picture too!!
Mel - A swing would be good for those days when they just don't wanna sleep. The other day I was just flatout rocking his rocker just to make him sleep cause he was fighting so much. How long can you use a swing up to?? Do you think it's worth me getting one??
Feeb - What a great sleep your little fella had! My rings need to be resized. My fingers lost weight, even though I wish the weight would fall of in other places. Lol.
Missy - :hooray: for your boys Missy!!! That's great to hear. Whoa! Your poor sister, and you and your family too. Must be really hard on you all. Thinking of you all and :hug:
Zee - I'm sorry Lucus isn't sleeping hardly any at all for you. I'm glad your MIL could come over and help you out so you could rest. You poor thing, you must be so exhausted. I hope he starts sleeping better for you. :pray: :pray:
I also hope everything is ok with Laila and you can find out what's up with her. :hug:
Hey everyone else. How's things at your end of the world?
Before DP was holding Hayden up so he could see himself in the bathroom mirror, well he thought it was great. Huge smiles and giggles and he's only just started this high pitched squeal type noise that goes with his really excited giggles. It shocked me last night when he did it for the first time... I was like 'WTF Haydie!'
Have a great night. Better go feed ze bubbablue before we watch a dvd.
Sweet dreams and I hope tomorrow is a great day all round!!!
*waves* & xoxox

Howdy ladies!
Hehe thank you. I have one more to show you all i took today: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...hp?photo=10006

Mel.. lmao oh i will so do that next time im out. Theyre always at their peak when we're in public.. of course! lol everyone will think im a nut filming my uncontrollable son :lol: Oh it would be hilareous if we ever went shopping together! Thats great M was fine with her needles!
Missy.. that sounds like such a nice idea! Youll have to take some pics once theyre done. I made some for Jesse and Keira. Big hugs re your BIL and sister. And good on you for being so strong for them :hug:
Tenny.. aw how cute is Hayden! Keira does the excitment squeels too.. has a set of lungs on her like her brother joy! lol
Jesse's swimming lessons started back today (hes in a class with Isaac). Both boys did so well considering we had a break to have babies.
OH and last night was the first night that BOTH of my kids slept through!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! Jesse woke at 6.30am and i just went and brought him into our room until we had to get up and wave DH off for work. Hope they do the same tonight!
-
Might be going to PIl cabin tomorrow at Toowoon bay (5 mins from entrance) till Monday arvo.. we will see how the night goes.
Tenny- Thankyou, how cute... Lucas likes the mirror aswell.
Kellxx- Your so lucky:clap:
Mel- How do i get my facebook link to say Lucas?? I cant remember how to do it.
-
morning folks :leap:
Well, for the 2nd night in a row Beth slept the whole way through! This morning she didn't wake up until 7.30!!! My boobies were ready to explode LOL poor little thing nearly drowned in milk when I finally fed her!
Missy - good on you for being there for your sister.... such a hard time for your family, thinking of you :hug:
Kel - Gorgeous gorgeous photos! Kiera is such a little spunk. Well, Jess is pretty spunky too actually!
Zee - a trip away sounds great! It definitely made us feel better, hope you get to go!
Tenny - awww giggles!! Can't wait for Beth to start giggling. it must be soooo cute!
Feeb - YAY for the 12 hour sleep!
Tan - I checked out airfares to Melbourne in the week after Melbourne cup... I was going to fly Virgin b/c I have probably enough reward points to cover the flights.... but there were hardly any cheap flights left.... I will have another look but it's not looking too promising :(
For the routine, it usually goes something like -
7.30 - wake up, feed
8.30 - sleep
10.00 - wake up
10.30 feed
11.30 sleep
1.00 wake up, feed
2.30 sleep
3.30 wake up
4.00 feed
5.00 bath, sometimes nap
7.00 feed and sleep
11.00 wake for a feed and back to sleep
Sometimes wakes at 4 for a feed but not for the last few days! :loveshower:
nap times vary, sometimes she goes all the way between feeds without a sleep but it's pretty rare and if she does that she's usually exhausted afterwards. Sometimes it's just a little catnap. But that's essentially it.
Well it was kind of a busy day yesterday - markets, friend came to visit, Mum and her friend came over and the Bear drove them to the airport - they're going to Italy for three weeks, lucky b*ggers!
Hi to all I've missed - hope everyone has a good day :dance:
-
Just thought id pop in and say hi, while Jesse is drawing and Keira is on her play mat next to me.
Boy it is a stinker in ol Sydney town today!! Ehh im not looking forward to summer!!!!!! Lesat its starting to rain now so hopefully will cool everything down.
Have a lamb roast in the oven.. oohh smells devine!
Dh is still at work. Was only suppost to work until 12pm today, but being the hot weather, has to stay until it reaches a certain degrees. But is Sunday so that means double time! So just the 5 hours hes been there now is already over an extra days pay! Cant complain with that!
Kristy/Missy.. are we still up for Wednesday at the park opposite the Raaf base? Anyone else is very welcome to join us.
Well, think the spuds need turning mmmm.. hope everyone had a good weekend.

hi girls
How are you all? Julia had fun at Nana's I picked her up Saturday and she was knackered! and I had some nice sleep catchup and Jeffrey was at home getting better from the flu so we are all better this weekend which is great to see.
Its good to read everyones routines. Our routine is demand feeding however she seems to have set her own routine like this below:
5am wake and feed
6am back to bed to sleep
7.30am wake and feed (Julia wakes up at this time too)
8am - play time
9am - we usually have a top up of feeding and go out for the morning
9am - 10.30am sleep
10.30am - wake and feed
11am - play
12noon - sleep (I put her to bed when Julia has her one day sleep)
2pm - wake and feed
2.30pm play
3.30pm sleep
5.30pm wake and feed
6.30pm sleep
Sometimes she will wake at 3.30am other times not until 5am.
Zee - hope Lucas has settled and you are having less feeding issues honey sending you big hugs. Does he fight the breast? Tara seems really unsettled the last 2 days with the breast and even with the bottle if I express or feed her formula doesnt make a difference... Im hoping its just a phase but she seems to have silent reflux caeus she cries until she burbs and will only feed when upright otherwise she cries and cries, do you think Lucas has that too?
Kell - wheres the park, near Windsor ? cant come this week sorry I have a PAED appt fshe or Tara on Wednesday re her stork mark on her forehead and to check to see if her left side of head is still flatter than right, but maybe next time?
Sending everyone big hugs, Tara's just woken again so best feed her so she can resettle for the night will be back in the morning for more personals.

Evening all,
Zee - I hope that you have a great time away sweet and that Lucas is a good boy for you.
Kell - Yummy lamb roast I love it! I hope it was delicious :) Your pics of your kids are great you have a very good looking family.
Pixie - How is little Beth, it will be nice if you were able to come to Melbourne too we would love to meet you, Bear and Beth.
Belle - Hey sweet how are you doing, so glad that you have a rest and Julia had a great time at Nana's. Good luck with your apt for little Tara.
Missy - I'm so proud of you not breaking down for your sister. Sounds like you have a strong family your sister sounds like she is coping as best as you could with everything that is going on in her life at the moment.
Mel - I'm sure M will love the Jolly jumper, I can't wait to buy it for little Izzy.
A BIG Hello to everyone I have missed...
Well Isabel has been a little demanding this weekend, instead of talking she has discovered her voice and now just screams then laughs. She is sleeping well still after her last feed at 10pm although she has been waking at 4:30am and I've had to put in the dummy for her to fall asleep again in the end she resettles in our bed until 7am.
We are heading to New Zealand on Wednesday morning so I will be MIA for a week. I hope you guys don't miss us too much lol..NOT. Tomorrow we have MG and we are learning how to do Baby Massage looking forward to that.
-
Hey. :)
Zee - I hope you have a great time away and get to relax. You deserve it. :hug:
Kell - That last picture you posted is stunning. What a beautiful girl you have! It was so hot here today too until it started pouring and I'd forgotten to get the clothes in, so they got drenched. DP carried on like a baby about it too. :rolleyes:
Pixie - :hooray: Beth!!!
Belle - Great to hear Julia had a great time and everyone is getting better in your household. :hug:
Mez - I hope you have a fantastic time in New Zealand and Izzy goes well with the flight.
*waves* Mel, SW, Bear, Tasia, Tan, Missy, Feeb, Kristy, and everyone else.
As for us.. Bit of a cruddy day. Up and down, etc
I'm completely over certain people thinking they're the best parents in the entire world so that gives them the right to critise me, even though I'm trying my very hardest and doing the best I can. I really need to learn to be a stronger person. Lately It seems I'm so emotionally rundown that I can't even stand up for myself. Today was bad.. I couldn't handle it. I just started crying and had to walk away and cry by myself. Luckily for me, Alana (my twin sister) was there and she was fully standing up for me and ripping it up them... not that it makes any difference to their opinions thoughts cause they think they know everything and everyone else doesn't..
It's really bad when you are seriously close to almost cut all ties with them for a few weeks or even more... but hey, It's not my loss, it's for my sake and ultimately what's best for my family - cause if Mummy is unhappy, then it's a huge impact on DP & the boys... right?
Quick question:
So your child isn't listening and is doing whatever they please and it's not something good either.
Do you let them keep doing whatever they want or do you do something about it?
Not that you hurt their spirit or personality, etc.. but just teaching them that they need to listen for their own sake and sometimes safety.
Sorry about my rambling. I feel like all I do is whinge lately. :(

Hi girls,
Its great knowing what other babies are doing with their feed/sleep etc!
Ashlea has slept heaps tonight but woke up properly for what is supposed to be her dream feed and I have just settled her from her screaming episode! The only thing I can think of is she may not have liked the icecream & custard I had...maybe a lactose overload?? Is there such a thing? Jayden only went to sleep at 11.15pm too....my children better sleep in tomorrow!
Sorry no personals.....Hi to everyone, hope you all had a great weekend!
-
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Jacob wont stay asleep he keeps waking as soon as i put him down!!!!! i need to be at my exercise class at n0939 grrr i am so upset he has been unsettled all day and cryed heaps!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope monday is a better day!!!!!!!
hope u r all well
-
Aww Feeb I know how you feel! I eventually got Ashlea down about midnight. I hope he settles for you today! Just remember they grow out of it eventually.
I'm getting my pap smear today....must say I'm really not looking forward to it LOL. I'm getting SIL#1 to look after Jayden while I'm in there.
We had a pretty good weekend...The kids and I stayed home Saturday, I got in to Ashlea's rooms starting to clean it out as we have visitors this week (and Ashlea needs a room finally!) but I made it worse! Sunday we all (including Chris shock horror!) went to the markets then to Bunnings, Jayden love the play equipment there and they had a $2000 playground that I really want to get for the kids....but we already have a swing set and $2000 is a bit much!
Loved all the photos of Keira Kell and loved the one of Jesse and his guitar...looks like the guitar "Santa" is getting Jayden for xmas.
Well best be off, Jayden closed the door to the computer room so I have no idea what he is doing or where he is....Ash is meant to be asleep if he hasn't gone in to disturb her!
Tenny: With your question, is it something specific Elijah has done or hypothetical? With Jayden (not that it always works) but I count to 3 or if that doesn't work I pick him up and move him away from whatever he is doing, as I said doesn't always work especially lately
