Mel - sweet I hope your little ones get better real soon.
Kell - That's great that Jesse went well in his orientations day. Woohoo on him sleeping all night for you to sweet it's horrible when they have a bad night. Did you manage to get motivated and do the washing and cleaning of the house??
Pixie - Is little Beth sleeping better for you sweet or have you just given up fighting to get her to sleep?? Good on you for getting up early and going for a walk I get out but not that early
Tan - Yay on the kids behaving for you at the shops it makes it a whole lot less stress free hey. Have you guys set a date yet for your wedding??
Tenny - woohoo on Hayden having a proper meal a day. Izzy is still on 5 bottles only cause she really isn't having a full meal, she has a little for breakie and then she'll have two cubes of veggies for lunch in between her milk.
Tasia - yes we are still on for next Friday catch up in Williamstown.
Well it's been really hot here the last couple of days so we have been staying indoors with the air-con. My MG came over yesterday first time since our Christmas/NY break and it was so nice catching up again. The kids have grown so much a couple are even starting to crawl. I start pilates on Tuesday nights next week and my walking I should hopefully be back to my normal weight in no time.
I bet go and do some cleaning up after dinner I guess have a good night all.
Well.. Jesse's first day of preschool today How sad. My little boy is growing up too fast.
Dropped him off this morning the same time Kristy dropped Isaac off. He was fine going in and played. Then heard Kristy say bye to Isaac and had a little melt down but the carers quickly got his attention and he turned around and played and we left. So heres hoping he was ok after he actually noticed i left. Ill give them a call in an hour or so and see how he is. I really hope hes having a good time.
Mez.. i did get the washing done.. a little house work but not much lol. Great to hear about you getting back into shape.. you go girl!
Tasia.. oh good stuff with his Christening. I know alot of people who combine the both too.
Pixie.. how did Beth go for you last night? Man its gonna be another hot one here today! Last night was terrible hey.
Tenny.. oh Jesse use to love that fruit gel. Well done hun youre doing a great job!
Well now i dont know what to do with myself lol. Keiras asleep.. i really have no energy to clean. Might go see whats on telly.
Kel hope J goes great at pre-school... I'm sure he'll be fine... you'll probably be more than him!
Mez hon she has been a bit better the last few days, maybe it was just a phase... this heat doesn't help though, it's feral here today!
Tasia - I know what you mean - we have been going through that lately but it seems a bit better the last few days. how exciting about J's christening
Tenny HAPPY FIFTH BIRTHDAY TO ELIJAH!!!
Anyhoo, big to SW, Belle, Zee, Mel, Missy and everyone... got to figure out how I'm going to keep cool today~!
Well today i'm off to see my il's for a bit at the factory. Then i will be going to northland pic king up my jeans. Then off to broady shopping centre i want to find tops for my sister she wants a top that i have, so hopefully they have more cause i want 2 more myself hehehehe. Today will be my last day that i will be on. Well i will be on but only every second day or so. Cause hubby will be back 2m, and he will be at work 2m so he will need the net on over at his work.
Well Jesse had a great day at preschool! I was so happy. They said he had a wonderful day. When i got there he was playing with some plastic bread rolls. He saw me and was look mummy mummy all excited to see me and came and held my hand and said bye preschool and started blowing them all kisses. Was so cute. He then talked the whole way home telling me how he caught a ball. Made me so happy.
Keiras turn now to be sick in our house poor pet. Think shes caught Jesse's cold. One of her eyes is all red and a little swollen, both are watery as if shes been full on crying. Last night she was crying in pain the poor thing. Then the panadol kicked in and she was fine. Once it wore off she was back to the same. So taking her to the doc today. This morning she didnt want to open her eyes when she woke at all. She had her bottle and everything complete eyes closed. She then got them open. No discharge or anything. But yeh best to get her checked out.
Tasia.. hope you had a nice day shopping.
Pixie.. hows Beth going with sleeping and settling now?
Kel that's great that Jess had such a fun day at preschool! and poor little Kiera hope she feels better soon...
Tasia yay for shopping! I went shopping yesterday but it was mainly to get out of the heat... didn't buy much, just got a Lamaze doll for Beth cause her friend has one and she had doll envy
Beth is back to her old self again.... not sure what was going on the last few weeks but all of a sudden she is back to being a good sleeper and settler! I'm loving it! She just slept from 8.30 and I had to wake her at 10 otherwise she will only have a short sleep this afternoon... not only did I get a shower, I changed the sheets, did the dishes and the vacuuming! And she is putting herself to sleep again without crying at all.... last night I just put her in her hammock, and she lay there for a while and then went to sleep without a peep! ! to all hope you have a great day!
ps. Kristy great news about Isaac's toy!
Pixie chick - yay for Beth!! She must of heard me from Queensland
Kel - yay for the Jess man on his first day!! Thats excellent! DS used to blow kisses too.. now he's all stingy with his affection... you have to work hard for it. haha! Hope nothing too seriously wrong with K.
Not much going on here. Going to change Miss M's bottles up a bit - she's not drinking as much of them now (again!) so going to try in 4 hour blocks to see if she'll drink more when starving for them.. lol ... She is still in bed now - probably awake, but talking to herself I would be assuming - and me and DS are watching Dora (for the millionth time) and he's eating his leftover toast from this morning, and some rockmelon.. I love that he is eating again but OMG.. the poos!! YUCK.. Seriously gotta do something about his dairy intake I think cos I think its the problem...
Kell - Oh that is so lovely that Jesse enjoyed his first day at preschool. I hope princess Keira is okay poor little darling.
Mel - Miss M is so laid bad hey, that is so good that she'll wake and just talk Izzy normally starts screaming lol. Good to hear A is eating again, pity about he pooey nappies
Pixie - woohoo that Beth is back to her old self again for you, could have been a growth spurt she was dealing with or maybe her teeth.
Well it's pretty quiet here today we went shopping and I bought a few little things for Izzy (nothing for me) I've booked in her 6 mth needles for next Friday so not looking forward to that! Oh and with my MG we are starting swimming lessons for the kids which will be great fun!
better go a BIG to Tenny, Tannis, Kristy, Belle, Feeb, Tasia, Missy and anyone else that I've forgotten.
Well back from mums house and wow I had a great time and relaxed heaps. Took callum to the beach alot while mum had Liam. Callum loves the beach so much and the weather was nice and hot, but the water was beautiful. We spent most of the time in the water and then went home the the air. I had a couple of Nanna naps and mum minded the kids.
Oh
HAPPY 6 MONTHS TO MY LITTLE ONE LIAM.
HAPPY FIFTH BIRTHDAY TO ELIJAH
Anastasia hun well done on the weight gain. Thats great
Sweepea wow on the backwards crawling. Very cute
SW wow. I just watched the video on the crawling and how clever.
kell well done and good on you jess with your orientation hun. Im sorry he isnt well. I hope he feels better real soon. This weather is crazy. Awww he is growing up.
Tan it can be hard taking both kiddies shopping. I know Id rather only take the one. dont mind which on but two can be abit hard.
Pix good on you walking. Im starting at the gym on monday so Im hoping to lose abit of weight. I cant walk, I get to bored....hehehe. Liam has been swimming too. I took him in the pool with callum and a g/f of mine today. he loved it. Liam is only having two sleeps a day now. Morning and afternoon. Morning is abit longer then the afternoon.
Ayapi yay on the pilates, that is on my list for the gym. Ive heard its hard. Awww hope not...lol..oh and yes im getting Liams needles this week... poor little ones.
Arimeh lol on the poo comment. I so know what you mean. Liam and Callum's are gross too. Stinky.
Well im hearing how much these babies are drinking. Geee Liam is only having 3 bottles maybe 4 if he wakes early in the morning. He has the following:
Morning 7am bottle of 200-250mls and has it all
7.30am 4 tsps of farex 2 tsps of apples or mashed banana
11am bottle of 200mls
11.30-12 fruit/custard
3pm bottle of 200mls and has it all
5pm dinner vegies
6pm bed. some times will have 50mls top up but most of the time not
Is my little one having enough bottle. If you think about it he is having 650mls and I know that when he was on 4 bottles the nurse said he was having 800mls and that was alot of milk so maybe its cool.
Oh I know alot of your little ones are doing this but im so proud of my little man, he is rolling from back to front then back again. He thinks he is the best. very cute to watch
Tell better head off im stuffed
to kristy, zee, belle, Tenny sorry if ive miss you.

: changed colour, please dont use purple!!
Missy - Welcome back!I'm glad you had a great time. I can't really answer if he's drinking enough, sorry. We've had a bit of an upset with our food stuffs. We're on 4 or 5 bottles a day. 240mls. Usually one bottle has like 40 left, but we still offer the 240.
Pixie - That's fantastic about Beth being back to her usual self. YAY! Good stuff, Babygirl! Lol @ doll envy.
Kell - GO JESSE! and
I'm so glad he loved it. I didn't realise he started this week, sorry. When they start you're so lost without them, aren't you. I just wondered around kinda watching the clock alot when DS1 first started. I then started lovin' it. It'll prob be the same when he starts school. I'll be so lost for a while, but then it'll be good, especially then Bubbablue and I will get heaps of one on one time together. I hope Keira feels better soon. Poor little mite.
Mel - for DS eating again. I hope that changing the bottles for DD works out. I've got everything crossed for you that it helps. It must be so frustrating. It's great when they just wake up and chat to themselves. Bubbablue wakes up like your DD does. It's great they wake up in a good mood like that. I love it.
Mez - Starting swimming lessons is exciting. I so didn't know MG's did that. I've never had a mothers group though, so maybe that's why I didn't know.
Tasia - Jonathan's stats sound great. He's going great guns!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes for my big 5yr old now.
I still can't believe he's 5 already and starting school so soon.
We went to Canberra yesterday after lunch and FIL was meeting us there to spend a little bit of time with us. Stayed overnight and all that jazz. It was really good.
Did some shopping. Got DS1's DS from there which I was a little disappointed to not have it so he could open it when he woke up yesterday morning for his birthday, you know... but they didn't have any in stock here in this crud hole town
I'm so proud of myself for getting everything I was looking for and didn't end up buying any extras. YAY me!!!
Since it was sooooo hot here on wednesday, got to 43, I didn't want to cook a cake or use the oven, so we got him an ice cream birthday cake. He loved it!!!
So Bubbablue is allergic to something. We took him to the doctors yesterday morning and they said it was either some type of food or like a virus allergy (I don't quite understand that) He slowly has been getting this rash over a few days and the heat was making it worse too. He also has had heat rash and it's making his eczema really bad too. So he's spotty in some places, then patches of red, and really dry rough skin too. Strangly enough he has been himself mostly. The rash is starting to go away slowly, they said it'll take a few days to get it completely out of his system. We're stopping any food from the jars, even though he has only been having a little bit as you know, and just sticking with the fresh fruit and veg that we've been doing. In a few weeks we'll slowly reintroduce the jar stuff to see if they were the cause.
...and on top of that we're thinking his next tooth, or few teeth, are really close.
I'm sorry I've rambled and it's so long. I think I'm going to go have a bath. Tan, SW, Feeb, Sweetpea, and everyone else.
Tenny I hope they find the cause. With the virus - they can get viruses that make them break out in a rash - not for any particular cause. thats what our doc said anyway. Oh, and happy 5th birthday for E!!!!
I didn't know that either, Mel. Thanks for that. I'm really glad it didn't make him really sick or anything. Everytime I'd look at him the other day it'd break my heart to see him all rashy and red.
Well dh came home yesterday morning from Vietnam. He was sick as a dog last night. But this morning i think he ok. I told him he should've went to the doc's before he left and i told him again he should go 2d after he finishes work or on Monday, but he won't go. He's very stubborn. Today i was doing the laundry and i had heaps to do and i'm not even finished yet. He bought clothes from Vietnam.
Oh i went to target today cause i wanted to buy Jonathan a hat for summer but they didn't have one. So i might go to pumpkin patch 2m or Monday if i don't get the car service and have a look.
Tenny- Sweety i really do hope the rashes go away i know how u feel sweety :hug
Missy- HAPPY 6 MONTHS GORGEOUS LIAM
Kel- Yaaaaaaaaaayy for Jesse having a great day at pre-school
Tenny - Oh sweet I hope little Hayden gets better soon
Missy - that's wonderful that you all had a great time at your mum's. Even better that you managed to relax and get some time at the beach with Callum. Yeah I've heard that it's hard too I'll let you know after my first session Tuesday night.
Izzy was up every hour last night I really don't know why but I'm thinking it's another tooth poor little chicken. We went to Frankston today and she pretty much cried half way there which wasn't fun. we went on the water front to see the sand sculpture which was lovely wasn't hot but we got burnt silly me forgot the sunscreen.
Mez.. aww poor Izzy hope she sleeps better tonight. Did you try her with panadol? Ive honestly found it the best thing for teething. Bonjela is good but i found only lasts about an hour.. the panadol will keep them going for a few hours.
Tasia.. Oh thats good your DH is home. Oh hope he feels better soon.. nothing worse than a belly bug. Hope he listens to you and sees the doctor.
HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY ELIJAH!!!!
Wow they grow up fast done they!!! Hope he had a great day!
Tenny.. oh poor thing. Has he eaten something new lately? Hope its not bothering him too much. Thanks hun. Yeh im not looking forward to him starting school.
Missy.. Hmmm im not too sure about how much they should be having in formula at this age. I just know its more important that solids until theyre 12 months as it has all the vitamins etc in it. Maybe google?
Mel.. that kinda worked for Keira. She was having 5 bottles and only drinking 100-150mls.. then when i cut one out and moved them further apart that now shes having 200mls. So hope it works for her.
Pixie.. oh thats great Beth is back to her old self! Hope she stays that way.
Did the shopping by myself this morning. DH was home with the kids. Was nice just to cruse the isles by myself and check everything out.
My arms have been aching. You know how if you sleep in your arm you wake up and have an aching arm. Well ive had that for 4 days now. Dont know what the go is.
Oh! I had a dream last night i had triplets!!!!! We named one Richie, another Alexis and the 3rd had no name. DH said we will just wait a week and see if we can think of one then but i was like noooo i we cant cos i have to get its name put on their little bed they go on in the hospital. Oh i hope that wasnt a prediction dream lol.
After Jacob not really taking and solids for a week I have decided to stop offering for 1 week and try again as this worked for a friends child. Sleeping we r having some better nights so fingers cross we will improve.
Yesterday AF returned and omg she is a B!@#$% Its soooooooooooooooo sore and feel bleh. Grr at least we can now think about TTC 2 but omg 15 months of no AF was bliss!!! Grr damm it i didnt think it would return till he was sleeping throught night!!
Kellxx freeky dream hun lets hope not a prediction Lol hope your arm better soon! well done on shopping alone.
Ayapi sand sculptures look good, we went to rye a few years ago to see them. Looking forward to next fri!
Anastasia enjoy lot sof washing! grr i have done 3 loads allreday today!! hope DH better soon silly man why are they so stuborn!
Tennykins hope DS rash clears up soon.
Missy Happy 6 months to Liam
glad you enjoyed time away
Hello to pixie, bear, sweetpea, mel, kristy, zee, sw and anyone else i missed
Hope your weekends are going well. Reaghan is doing well sitting unaided, rolling and backwards crawling everywhere. She can now go from sitting to laying on her own. I have tried her on some foods though she is not interested really so not pusing it. Tried some puree fruits she didn't like that at all, though she likes potato, corn, avacado, chicken but only had taste she maybe takes half a teaspoon before she refuses to open mouth. Mind you she loves fruit tubes, the juice ones on hot days if I am having one she and she is on my lap she grabs it and put it in her mouth and sucks like crazy, then if I take it away she crys till i give it back.
I am so happy that the school holidays are nearly over as can't wait to the older two go back to school they are driving me nuts.
Hey girls & Bear, sorry been MIA again, looks to be a little quiet in here anyway.
Mez: We have kind of set a date, looks like it will be April 2010 we haven't told anyone yet
Sweetpea: Thats cute Reaghan cracks it over the fruit tubes! Hope she starts liking her food soon! Although I guess its not really important right now
Feeb: Aww poor thing! AF is a biarch huh? My last one was a bit painful (maybe cause it was 2wks late!). 15mths is pretty good to not have it though....shame it didn't stay away though. GL with TTC now! I told Chris that we should have another baby now LOL he nearly died I think.....I told him very quickly that I'm joking!
Kel: YAY for Jesse liking preschool! How did you cope? (sorry if you've already said). Hope your arm gets better!
HAPPY 6mths LIAM!!!
Chris bought a scooter today, not a huge fan of them but its cheap to register and on fuel and I won't have to drive him to work once its regisitered so I like it for that reason haha.
Ashlea had her first night in the cot the other night, she did really well and has been sleeping better, although she seems to think 5.30am is a great time for a feed and a chat! I feed her and put her back to bed then Jayden is in at 6.30am telling me its morning time the sun is awake! Ashlea has finally found her legs too she can now stand and I have even gotten her to take some steps! Holding her of course. Jayden was standing at 4mths (assisted) but didn't take steps until a lot later I'm sure. Ash has an evil face now, I'll quickly upload a pic....its horrible!
ETA: Where's the gallery gone???
