HAPPY 7mths Caleb & Seb!!

Mel: I didn't even notice your DH's gut LOL.

RE babyproofing: We didnt baby proof for Jayden other than putting in the plugs for the power points, we won't for Ashlea either. Jayden knows not to go in the cupboards except for "his" cupboard that has his plastic cups, plates etc Oh and he goes in the pantry

Thanks for the comments on FB pics, still got more to upload

Hi all

Well been very busy. Been going to the gym heaps (6 days a week and finally getting my bod back) so sorry that i havent been in much.

Quickly :

Happy 7months to Caleb and Sebastian

Oh and caught callum punching Liam in the face this morning so rushed him off to day care cause thought id kill him.....lol...naughty boy ....Havent had any problems from him before so why is it starting now.

BBL need another coffee

[Jewel]

Heyyyyy.
How is everyone?

Missy - WOW. Go you with the gym. I need motivation. I hope Callum doesn't do anything else like that to Liam again and got it out of his system.

Sweetpea - I'm glad Reaghan is getting better. Good stuff with the food.

Tan - I hope everything is ok with Jayden.

I was just wondering..
with sm33 is it stronger then bonjella?
Bubbablue has been having a heap of troubles with the teething deal, and the bonjella doesn't seem to be working as well as it was. I am thinking of trying sm33.
Have you used it and was it more affective then bonjella??
Also they can get diarrhoea and stuff while teething, right?

Mel, Pixie, Bear, Kell, SW, Mez, Tasia, Belle, Majella and everyone else I might have accidently forgotten.

[ShootingStar]

Morning!

Tenny.. i havent heard of sm33. I found the best thing for teething to be panadol tbh. Bonjella would wear off after an hour or so, panadol would keep them set for a few hours. And theres nothing wrong with panadol. Yep definately.. runny poos, constipation, nappy rash, fever you can call get with teething. Howd Hayden go today with his breaky? Great to hear he liked the banana!

Missy.. ow dear. Hmm maybe Callums kinda just realising that Liam is here to stay iykwim. Do you ever have one on one time with Callum? May be an idea?

Sweetpea.. great to hear Reaghan is on the mend.

Home day today. Keiras asleep, Jesse's playing outside with his sand and water table under the balcony cos its raining out. He loves it.
Me.. just organising or working out what im going to do for Keira's Naming Day cake. Yep im making it!! hehe.. so will be interesting!

[Arimeh]

Tenny - yes SM33 is much stronger than bonjella. SM33 actually has a numbing agent in there that the dentist uses so its much stronger.

A friend (chemist) once told me that bonjella is just useless crap really - and SM33 is the stuff you should be using.

[Missy]

Kell yes I have heaps of one on one time. Heaps lately in the pool and in bed some mornings. Watching dvds with him so its not that. I dont know why he did it.


Tenny not sure hun.

to the rest

[Tannis]

Missy: Well done on going to the gym! I wish I had that motivation! The most I have done today was get the kids in the car to get McDonalds for lunch LOL. Poor Liam! Least that was the 1st time! Poor Ashlea is going to be a roughnut when she gets older, she'll have to be with her brother around! After I took the pics of the kids in their singlets I went to get a nappy from my room, I came back to find Jayden lifting and dragging Ashlea by her neck!! He got in so much trouble!!

Sweetpea: YAY for Raeghan sleeping 11hrs again! Great to hear she is getting better!

Tenny: Thanks hun! He seems to be ok now but once night sets in again he will be coughing again. I haven't heard of sm33 either, but it sounds great! Might have to find some and get it for Ashlea. Jayden used to get the runs with teething, then nappy rash an fever as well.

Kell: We had a heap of rain over the weekend, I did all my washing last night as it looked ok and of course it rained again this morning, its hot now so clothes should be dry again What kind of cake are you doing? I have got into the baking lately for some reason, I can't wait for Jayden's bday....I think I'll do a dinosaur cake for him.

Can't get into the Dr's until tomorrow, they must be really busy because usually as soon as I say Jayden's name they are squeezing him in. He is driving me nuts today with annoying Ashlea, whinging, wee'ed on his floor in his room 2 mins after I asked if he wanted to go to the toilet I was feeding Ashlea so I couldn't do anything about it. I have no motivation to do anything....I'm so tired!!

Yesterday one of my niece's were here and her Jayden and Chris were watching a movie (Chris was asleep really) I was on the computer, then Chris got up to get Jayden something to eat and I heard him saying to Jayden...."Your mum is just lazy, I don't know why she is so lazy, she just is" WTF!!!! The kitchen still had dishes in the sink cause we had been out all day on Sunday didn't get home til late and I hadn't done it 1st thing in the morning! Who cares, I never (well rarely) leave dishes on the sink. I was so angry at him but the only reason he had a problem was because I was on the computer! I said he was the lazy one because he had been on the couch sleeping for the past hour or more.

[ShootingStar]

Missy.. no i mean do you ever take him out just you 2. Even if its just up to the shops, but without Liam. It may be hard though if you dont have someone to look after Liam at the time though.

Tan.. aww hun Hmm yeh why couldnt he get off his butt and do the dishes if it bothered him that much. Youre allowed to have a break too, you definately deserve it. Im making a heart shaped cake with fondant icing over it.. will also make a bear to go on top and also blocks that spell out her name. Im pretty confident with it. Will just be a chocolate cake but it will be a double layer with chocolate icing in the middle so that its a tall cake.

[Jewel]

Just a quick one.
I couldn't find any SM33. I was kinda annoyed at that. I looked at both Chemists here and nothing. Where do you get it from, Mel???
I got a different one to try though. It's called Sedagel. I'm not sure if it'll do any better then the bonjella but it's worth a shot for my poor little mite. It's those big teeth at the top at the front mostly, I think. I just want to help him anyway I can, I'll try anything. lol.

Yeah, he's got the runs and it's making his little bum all red, even had a few little blood spots where it opened the skin a little bit. I've just been using Lucas' Paw Paw cream on it and it seems to be helping.
Any other ideas to help with that? I'm open for any suggestions.
This is the first time I've had anything like this. DS1 never got it this bad so it's all new to me.

Anyways, feeling like complete grossness.
Seeyah.

Btw, Tan I don't see what was stopping Chris from doing the dishes. Geez. It's not just your job!!!

xx

[Arimeh]

Tenny - you could try some moogoo cream - that works a charm in this house. And I've always gotten the SM33 from the chemist - behind the counter though usually

Tan - melly bashin time????

[Majella]

Hi All

Tannis - yep, that sounds like my house at the moment! I'm so mad with DH - for some reason all of a sudden he expects me to do everything. Like if he's looking after the baby and I'm having some 'me' time he'll call me in to say things like "can you get the bottle" or "does she need her nappy changed?" or worse, "we've run out of coffee". Aghhh. I feel your pain.

Mel - o.k., so now i'm super intrigued by your signature!!! sure thing - would love to catch up with you when you come to Brissie. I'm going to go to the BB Breakfast thingy that's organised for early Feb so maybe I'll see you there?

I'm looking forward to watching the women's tennis tonight!

[Arimeh]

Majella - I'll be going to the march one - feb one is too far away from the coast

[thepixie]

Hey folks
hope you all had a good weekend..... ours was good, very busy, and i don't know, just had annoying things going on which got on my nerves. For example, the Bear went up to Mangrove Mountain on Sunday, I thought great, I will go check out baby warehouse with Beth. But the Bear had taken my keys and I didn't know where the spare was so I was stuck without even a stroller, which was in the car. Called the Bear, no reception. Finally found the spare key and got ready to go out, and then the Bear called, his iphone is crapping out so he gets cut off every 30 seconds so he has literally called me about 100 times in the space of half an hour or so, in the meantime, I am wrangling Beth, and driving etc and trying to have a conversation, while not getting booked for talking on a mobile while driving. Yesterday we spent the entire day cooking, we had 10 people round for dinner so it was big even though it was only my folks and the Bear's parents. Thank god for my stepmother doing most of the dishes, otherwise today would have been a lot worse. This afternoon I was trying to make cauliflower soup, and Beth was being seriously velcro, which is really not like her. Anyhoo, I had to stop once when she had a nappy so bad it required a bath, and then later when I tried to start cooking again, she was cracking it so I picked her up, and she went quiet and the next thing I notice I'm covered in puke! Yeah so a bit over it really.
On the up side I took Beth to the library today and she liked playing with the toys in the kids' section and met some other nice babies!
Mel, new car huh? let us know what you get...
Majella I can't say anything bad about my DH cause he posts on this thread PMSL and of course he's perfect
Tenny how was your sis? did she have a great trip? hope you had a fabulous catch up
Kel I forgot to mention I'm hooked on Jon & Kate plus 8 now
Tan I love the photos you put on FB.... Hope J gets better..... does Mel need any help slapping some sense into that man of yours?
to Missy, sweetpea, feeb, Belle, and everyone else, gotta go, baby crying
