Babies Born July 16th ~ 31st 2008 #7

[Arimeh]

Tan babe - if it makes you feel better - Ash was born lighter than Miss M and weighs more than she does now. I don't think she puts on even 100g a week - but she is growing in proportion - i think your CHN has forgotten that THAT is a sign of good growth.

Hi to everyone else. Got a busy day (niece's christening) so can't stop to chat, hope all are well and having a great weekend!!

*mwah*

[ShootingStar]

Morning!

Missy.. oh yeh bummer! Well least thats another brand of the same thing you can look out for. Even google it. Oh your santa photo turned out great!! I loye that theyre all smiling!

Tan.. oh good one with the bottles! hows he going?

Tasia.. good to hear you had a great day at the zoo hun. I think you needed a day like that hey.

Oh Keiras only putting on about the same as Jacob and Ash too. Shes still only drinking 150mls if that and you should see the size of her. She had a huge growth spurt at the beginning. But shes happy, sleeping through the night, is nearly in a size 0 so i couldnt careless what the nurses say about that. lol.. plus i dont even go to the clinic now. Only for her check ups she has to have. If i had a question about her or a concern then i may go but yeh i think shes doing fine. So yeh dont worry about that seriously.. i think you know in yourself if theyre growing ok or not.

So picked up Keira's christmas ball yesterday looks great! Better than ours! lol. So may have to get ours redone sometime. Bought my KK's pressie!! And thats about it.

DH let me sleep in this morning while he got up with the kids which was lovely. Think i might go make him some bacon and eggs in return.

Have a great sunday!

[Missy]

Howd'y all

Hope you all having a nice weekend. Im not going to do anything today, I was going to Iron but my head is thumping. Im going to relax and watch DVD's

Both kids are well and Liam is back in bed.

Callum watching fox and Matt just laying on the lounge before he goes out to mow the Lawn.

Thanks for the congrat Feeb. Im still in shock. Oh I think these nursed should relax abit. Mine is really good and is happy if im happy.

Anastasia thanks hun. Yes the santa photos went ok. Callum was the one we were always trying to get him to smile or look at the camera. Liam and Melissa just smiled all the time. Santa's beard kept flying into liams face...lol the fan was on and it was so funny.

Oh Zee I love looking at peoples houses with lights on. Oh I remember where your house is and ive only been there once. Nothing going on...hehehe Just kidding hun. have fun at the baptism.

TAnis dont worry about the nurse. Waht a biatch. I say as long as the kiddies are putting on weight isnt that what counts. Your kids look healthy. Dont worry. I love how you have just added to the chart so you can see how it was last time. I might have to do that.

Arimeh have fun at the christening.

Kell yes im still going to keep looking. I so want that car garage now...lol but he will get for his 3rd bday. Oh Keira is so healthy to look at. she is a porker. Nothing wrong with that little one. Oh nice about the ball hun and evern better about he sleep in. Way to go DH. Awwww your a good wife making him bacon and eggs. You can come here if you want as im starving

Well hi to the rest of you lovely ladies and of cause Bear. Hope you all having a nice weekend.

BBL

Bye

[Tannis]

Feeb: Can't win either way I don't think....Another CHN told me after 3mths old they usually gain less than 150g's a week

Mel: I agree, and Miss M is healthy! Have fun at the christening!

Kell: OMG she's nearly in size 0! Ashlea is just getting into 00, still fits most 000. I'm not worried about what she said, thats why I told her basically that I didn't care she is fine the way she is. Jayden is going pretty good without the bottles, he has a whinge on and off but we get through it. Not long after i posted last night, he came in to me and asked for one...I told him they are in the bin and he can have water instead...so far so good.



Gotta run....making pasta for xmas day (why can't we just buy it???)

[somewoman]

sorry, no personals again =)

We just came home after buying a roomba (robotic vacuum cleaner). It rocks. Been meaning to buy one for ages. I'm thinking now that it doesn't matter if it actually cleans or not - it's worth every cent watching Linden play with it =)))) It works by detecting walls and where it has been, and Linden keeps confusing it by jumping in front of where it is going or laying in some random area that it is trying to vacuum, so it turns around and goes elsewhere only to find Linden again! Poor roomba =) Even if it normally WOULD work, I think there's little chance of it getting a good vacuum in while there's a crazy part-leopard confusing it! PMSL

Shoulda bought one years ago =)))

[Tannis]

What a quiet day!

Missy: How was your day of watching DVD's? Sounds good! Yeah I'm not too worried, just so sick of conflicting information when I go there, the LC is really good and maybe 1 or 2 CHN's the others are just judgmental biarches!!

SW: Roomba sounds great and entertaining!! I'd love one but I'm sure Jayden will have it broken in 5mins haha

Didn't end up making the pasta, we went to the Warehouse and bought Jayden a blow up pool (one big enough for us to get in too. We showed SIL's and they went on about...did you know its xmas soon why didn't you wait, why does he need it now, you won't be able to buy him anything soon he will have everything, blah blah blah....I cracked it cause I'm sick of ppl telling me I can't buy something for my own children! I couldn't give a $hit if they couldn't afford it when their kids were little. I was a bit mean though I said to Jayden in front of everyone that we can't keep the pool because his Zia's didn't think it was a good idea he had it and I'll take back his other xmas pressies too cause he doesn't need anything. 1 SIL said not to take offence by it and I said I will because its no one elses business what I buy MY son, we were just showing it because Jayden was excited about it. Another SIL later was whinging about her 19yo daughter wanting to move in with her BF, they already stay at each others houses so no different really....well she is too young to do that they shouldn't be staying the night with each other, I said Chris and I had been living together for 2 yrs at her age and she said Yes and I don't agree with that either, don't get me started on that! WTF!! Chris and I have been together for 11yrs! Ok we aren't married but who cares?? She is such a b!tch when she wants to be! There was more to it all but I won't go on about it, they just make me so pi$$ed off sometimes!!
Ok vent over......
I put up the xmas tree tonight, Chris helped with the branches and I am half way through putting the lights on....I hate the lights, it takes too long! I'll get Jayden to help with the decorations tomorrow. Well better go finish the lights.

[Jewel]

Hey everyone. <3

Missy - Cute Santa photo! Congrats on the baby news in your family. I hope with the new year your family won't have such a bad run.

Tan - WTF!? I'm so glad you told SIL to shove it. What's it to them what you buy? Seriously. AND WTF at the nurse chick. It's those nurses like that, that make people not go back. For the stats. Ash is perfect. YAY! for no bottles with Jayden. It must have been so hard with the crying. You did greattt! We were lucky that it was easy to get rid of bottles and dummies with DS1. I can only hope that Bubbablue does just as well went the time it right. What kinda pasta are you making for Christmas day?
Oh yeah, Bubbablue is a piggie. He mostly drinks his full bottle of 200ml each time. Lately he's had a few where he has only had 180ml cause he's too tired to stay awake.

Kell - Woohoo for your DH letting you sleep in!! If only mine would think about me more then himself sometimes.

Mel - I hope the Christening went great. How'd it all go?

Zee - YAY! you're getting the rod out today. How'd the baptism go? I didn't know Laila's birthday was so close to Christmas. The leap frog thing you got Lucas sounds really cute. I'm still trying to decide what little things I can get Bubbablue.

SW - Lol @ Linden. That's funny. Those Roomba's sounds really good.

Alright weekend here.
We got alot of our Christmas shopping done for the boys yesterday since we didn't have DS1 with us. He was at a Christmas party with my sister. It's like at a fun park thing with watr slides, rides, etc. Her work takes everyone there, so she takes DS1 along too. He got to see Santa and got a Tamagotchi. Strange present, I know.. but he's loving it. (I secretly am too. )
We also used yesterdays Elijah-free-day to put Christmas lights up on the house. We had to throw out heaps of old ones so we have to get a couple more today then it's done. Yippeeee!!!

I was so upset at DP last night. He just doesn't get it that I want to spend time with him. Even if it's just doing nothing. While MIL was here she even commented to him and was telling him that I just wanted to spend time with him. How could he not see it. It's so obvious. Yet, he doesn't choose to spend time with me ever. As many times as I say it to him he still doesn't get it. I feel like he takes me for granted.

I got the wrong farex the other day so we haven't started that yet. I couldn't be bothered to go get the right one yet. Lol.
We also got Elijah's highchair out and I cleaned it all up. Bubbablue seems to like it. Yay!

Pixie, Belle, Feeb, Sweetpea, Mez, and anyone else I might have accidentally missed.
Have a great day.

Morning all,

Wow you all talked up a storm when I last logged on we were up to pg 2 now it's 6 lol... Don't know if I can remember everyones post so forgive me if I don't respond to you in my personals.

Tenny - Oh hun these DH of ours really have no clue, spending time with them is all we want to do and they just want to do their own thing. My DH is the same, I have been wanting to go out for dinner for ages but he just doesn't cause I'm not ready to have someone else look after Isabel yet! I said we can go with her but he just makes up excuses. Woohoo on getting your Christmas shopping done you're very good.

Mel - I hope you had a great time at your nieces Christening.

Tannis - sounds like your SIL's have too much of their own opinions about your kids, don't worry about them they are just jealous cause you spoil your kids. We bought Izzy a pool too for Christmas one big enough that it will fit us too lol. What sort of pasta are you guys going to make?? Is Chris Italian?? Hope you and Jayden have fun decorating your Christmas tree today!

Missy - Congratulations for your brother and his wife being pregnant that is wonderful news can't wait to hear if it is twins

Kell - you are so luck that your DH let you sleep in, mine is really starting to pee me off as he really isn't helping me with Izzy just plays with her and then complains that he is tired

Belle - I'm really good sweet, how are you?? I love your new ticker photo your girls are beautiful.

Well not much going on here, Isabel has been really unsettled lately and I really don't know what is wrong. Always whinging when on her play mat and just really clingy??

Hope you all have a great day, I can hear the little monkey so better go.

A BIG to everyone I have missed.

[Jewel]

Mez - Bubbablue has been really clingy, unsettled and just constantly whinging whenever he's on his play mat too. I'm not really sure what's going on either.
No ideas here either. Sorry I can't help.

What is it with our DP/DH's geezzzz..

[thepixie]

Hey folks .... been MIA for a few days, busy weekend and today has pretty much just been a PITA..... could go into much detail but basically after spending more than an hour trying to persuade DD to go to sleep so I could get some lunch, I went into the bedroom to find that the rain was coming in at such an angle it got the wall, floor, bedside table and sheets all wet, had to change the sheets, mind you she still wasn't asleep so I fed her to sleep and made some toast, and she woke up before I even finished the first slice!
ANYHOO MOVING ON!
SW - lol on the roomba! sounds like a great new toy for Linden! how does it do on the vacuuming? I might be tempted, I'm not a fan of our Dyson upright. I mean what kind of vacuum cleaner doesn't have a retractable cord?
Tan - where do you get headbands for Ash? I have been looking but haven't found any nice ones for Beth. And don't worry I'm sure Ash is doing beautifully. Beth is such a chunk I'm starting to worry she is going too much the other way! Weighed her this morning and she is 7.2kg no wonder I'm getting tennis elbow from carting her around!
Mez - Beth has been a bit like that too today not sure what it's all about
Tenny - good on you on the Chrissy shopping.... haven't even started yet! Although finally got KK today so just need to wrap and post that one. about your DH.... hope he gets it soon!
Zee = glad you finally got that rod out, sounds like it was really bad for you.
sorry no more personals atm, grizzling baby ..... but hugs to all mwah!

[Missy]

Hi ya all

Well didnt do much today. Went for coffee at a friends house then came home then talked to another friend for about 1/2hr. Got dinner prepared and then took Melissa to a job interview.

Just spoke to brother and they are only having one child but they are 10weeks 2 days... Im so excited.

Tanis hun I only watch one when DH came home. Not like when your by yourself. Wasnt that good. OMG tell SIL to shut the F up. How dare she tell you what to by. I agree its none of her business. So what if its xmas in 2 weeks. I gave Callum his bike early because he saw it. Not that I had intended to get him that in the first place its only cause jesse and Isaac had one that I got it. So I gave it to him and not at xmas. And you know what Tanis, Why, BECAUSE I FUC*ING CAN. Im sorry but tell her and anyone else to mind their own business. If you want to buy your children some thing then you do it and if you dont want to wait till xmas to give them then so be it!!! Ok hun im done...hehehe..

Tenny thanks hun I love the photos. Yes lets hope this is the start of good news. Tenny I havent evern put liam in the high chair. I didnt think he would fit. I might try it tomorrow. Mine has staps in it to stop him from falling over, does your have that too?? Im sorry your DP cant see that you want to spend time with him. I hope things pick up for you hun

Thanks Ayapi about the photos. Nope now twins but Im sure they are just happy to be pg.

Oh pix sorry your little sweet Beth is giving you a hard time. Its horrible when they dont sleep. I hope she gets better for you soon hun.

hi Kell, Kristy, sweetpea, zee, belle, Bear, SW, Feeb, Anastasia,Arimeh and anyone else ive missed

[Anastasia]

Tenny- I hear you sweety, that's exactly the same thing with me & hubby. Yayyy on the highchair. I'm getting farex 2m, so i will start giving Jonathan's ceral on thurs. Yaaaaaaaaaaaay for doing the xmas shopping, I haven't done mine yet will do it next week.

BIG HELLO TO EVERYONE ELSE MMMWWWHHHAAA!!!!!

[Arimeh]

hi guys

Sorry haven't been in doing personals or anything - busy weekend, busy at work and all that. hard to find the time to sit down and try and figure out what to say to everyone!!

So to all with grizzly bums... and "up yours" to the people that are peeving my buddies off

SW - pmsl @ Linden... such a funny little thing...

Pixie - grr on the rain coming in.. hope nothing is tragically ruined...

Gotta say a special THANKS to my KK (and I'm sending mine hopefully tomorrow!!! was going to do it today but got overwhelmed by a family law problem) Aricyn ripped straight into his - so I hope KK doesn't mind that it didn't last till xmas... he LOVES it too... chucked a tantie when we tried to take it off him so he could bathe... lol.... and Miss M's present is sooo gorgeous - will take a pic with her in it and post it

Thats all from here - christening - HOT.. was a stinker here yesterday - spent 2 hours sweating my guts out and watching DS jump up and down on my sisters bed.. hahahaha... I'm so evil.....

Anyhoo - gotta keep keepin on... house ain't gonna clean itself... wish it bloody would though...

[Jewel]

Pixie - OMG. What a bad dayyyy. I hope DD sleeps better tonight and from now on. We're still having issues with the day sleeps. His eyes are so red most the time cause it's fighting it. Although today was one of the better days from the past week.

Missy - Our highchair has the straps like over the should and across the lap ones too. So he's secure. It also lays back so I have had him in it mostly slightly tilted back. He loved sitting up watching me in the kitchen making dinner. DS1 and I were singing songs to him too. He looks tiny in it still though but oh so cute!!

Tasia - I hope the Farex goes good on thurs!

to everyone.

DS1 was a little brat from the afternoon onwards.
Lucky Bubbablue is quiet and calm when we're out. I don't know how I would handle a screaming baby aswell as a brat at the same time out in public.

xx

[thepixie]

Tenny babe she sleeps beautifully at night and lately she has been good in the daytime too.... today was just a freak!
anyway bed time now so big to all!

[feeb]

Hello all sorry been missing a bit!

been a bit stressed about Jacob and whether he can hear or not!!! not turning to noises etc i started a thread about it seeing mchn thurs for weight anyway (rang to change and told her why she told me to relax and see her thurs)

JACOB IS 5 MONTHS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pixie hope u have better day tomoroow.

tassy how r things with dh? good luck with leaving shopping to next week i had pram rage on weekend shoppping lol

hugs and hello to everyone else

[Tannis]

Tenny/Mez: I think it was just ravioli maybe something else too but not sure what.

Tenny: Jayden was like that with his bottles when he was younger, he would drink 240ml easily at about 7 or 8mths old, sometimes cried for more! Yay for finishing the boys xmas pressies. LOL re tamagotchi, I always wanted one of those and I wanted a Furby too, when I worked at Target (years ago) I had a display one on my counter in the music section, I played with it all day! Take a pic of your house! I love xmas lights! DP's have no idea, Chris never wants to spend time with me either unless I am busy doing something else like on BB LOL.

Mez: I told SIL that I can afford to buy my kids things so I will. Chris's dad is italian and we are having a Italian themed xmas day. Izzy will get over the clinginess, it will just be a phase....hope she is over it soon though!

Pix: Lucky Beth doesn't do that all the time huh? I get put out when Ash doesn't co-operate because usually she is good. Ashlea's pink headband and green/blue headband are from Pumpkin Patch and the white one with the big flower is from Best and less that one also comes in pink which I am thinking about getting too. OMG Beth has gained great weight!! What was she born?

Missy: (and everyone who commented) thanks for the support! The way I see it is a 2 yr old has no concept of time, so whether it was from xmas or not, it makes no difference to him and if it wasn't so hot we might have waited.....I didn't say all that to them, I didn't feel I needed to justify it. I think next time I'll say what you said "because I Fu*ing can!" LOL. They both called me today, one to see if I was going to morning tea (we always go on a Monday), I said no but gave no reason. The second SIL wanted us to buy her DD the 3rd bag in a luggage set for xmas (Chris is buying for her in our KK) so she can get 15% off even though she doesn't need the 3rd bag, its going to cost over $200 for the 3 with the disc, so I said thats a lot of money on something DD doesn't need isn't it?? Then I said its up to Chris he is buying for her not me.

Mel: How you going?? Poor thing, being busy with home and work!

HAPPY 5mths JACOB!!!

I have already sent a PM to our KK but I wanted to say a huge thank you publicly as well! THANK YOU! Jayden loved opening them both while Ashlea slept under her play mat. He loved his books and Ashlea's too! Here is a pic and here too.

I will be MIA for the rest of this week, I have a friend(ShereeJoy) coming over tomorrow with her 2 boys...Yay I finally get to meet baby Riley!! Wednesday I might pop in but want to spend some time with Jayden, Friday I am going down to Hervey Bay to see Sheree again. So have a good week girls and bear

[ShootingStar]

Morning!

Now to catch up.

Tan.. have fun with your friends. Woohooo for your kids KK! Oh peh i woulda told your SIL too p!ss off and mind her own business (as you did ) So what if you bought him a pool as you said its your choice what you buy your son. At least he will be able to get more use out of it if y ou give it now then wait until after Christmas.. a whole extra month.. and summer doesnt stay around that long. I buy Jesse matchbox cars every now and then when we go out.. so whats the difference between that. Stupid SIL! Need to pull her head out of the hole shes been living in. Oh well done with the bottles! Glad its worked! Yep shes a porker here. Though see it depends on the brand.. she can fit some 000 but is in mostly 00 and can fit 0.

Feeb.. wow happy 5 months Jacob! Have you tried sneezing next to him? Not that i guess you can do that when you want to.. but Jesse was the same at one stage, i didnt know if he could hear or not.. then DH sneezed and oh he screamed. Have you tried banging pots or anything when hes not looking? Hope hes ok.

Tenny.. oh hun i feel the same. Jesse does the same sometimes when we're out but im so thankful Keira is such a happy baby. Helps hey. Oh hun men arent like us, they dont think like us. I learnt that about DH a little while ago. You have to tell them when you want something or to do something. Have you tried just making plans and telling him what you want to do or that you are spending time together? Hope he pulls his finger out soon. Oh good stuff on your christmas shopping!

Mel.. oh woohoo on your KK.. youll have to take a pic or tell us what you got!

Missy.. great news about your brother!!

Pixie.. oh dear.. hope she slept better for you last night Im finding Keira doesnt want to sleep much during the day anymore.. will have maybe 2 or 3 naps through the day.

Mez.. ahhh clingy could be teething. Keiras the same. Will only sit on her rocker or mat for a little while before she starts to carry on.. as soon as you pick her up shes fine. Usually a sign of teething.. being theyre all nearly 5 months, its about the right time too. Oh hun im sorry your DH is being a *****head. Have you asked him to take her at all so you can have some time to yourself to have a bath or whatever? Oh my DH can be the same but have found i have to ask (which i know i shouldnt!) him to do something or watch the kids and he happily does. Hope he pulls his finger out for you and lets you have some time for you.

Had Keira weighed yesterday and our little porker is 7.6kg and 68cm long. She is the same length but heavier than my gf's almost 9 month old!! lol. though she has small babies.

I thought things were starting to pick up for me with my anxiety.. had a few days of nothing and was just fine. See im not depressed or anything, am happy enough and have found i also feel better when have company. But yesterday was out with Kristy, she was in seeing the doctor while we waited in the waiting room. Jesse had a dummy in his mouth as he was going to sleep and kinda started gagging with a funny look on his face. Well, hot flush came over me and i started freaking out he was going to be sick. He was fine, but i got up and went for a walk and had to talk myself out of it saying to myself hes fine, im ok. Then last night.. nothing to do with any of the kids being sick or anything, just had an anxiety attack where i was having trouble breathing and had alot of tension and stress. Felt if i thought about being sick enough i probably could. DH got me out of it by just taking my mind off it. Seemed to work. But yeh. I feel fine now. Im yet to go back to the doc. Its just hard finding time. I totally forgot to look for that remedy stuff.. will have to make a note next time im out. Will have to keep busy today.. lol well theres so much house work to do i should be fine with that.
