    Howdy ladies!

    Just thought id pop in while im having a coffee. Busy day ahead. Jesse's at preschool so we're going to pull apart all of our beds today ready to move tomorrow and just sleep on matresses on the floor tonight. Get everything else ready to go too.

    Missy.. we turned Keira around a couple of weeks ago. She was getting too tall to reface. Jesse we turned around at 6 months for the same reason and he was also too heavy for the refacing requirements.

    Pixie.. oh i hear you with the seperation anxiety. Keiras very clingy atm.. and mostly just to me. She can be happy and fine.. as soon as i walk in the room wahhhhhhh.. oh the joys!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR NEXT WEEK MEZ AND TENNY!!

    We will be without internet for a little while. Our internet gets disconnected here tomorrow (plus we'll be moving) and we wont have internet in the new place until about a week after the phone is connected. So will me MIA for a few weeks. Hope everyone is well and has a good few weeks. Will see you all when i check in from our new place!!!
    Take care!

    Morning all

    Missy - sorry to hear about your BIL - hope he recovers well and that the treatment works.

    Pixie - you do sound busy - more busy than me anyway.. haha

    Kell - good luck moving!!!! You have my mobile if you need to text for any BB goss.. haha

    On the subject of turning seats around. Nope. Not doing it. After watching that video that was on the forums here - nope no way buckeroo!! She's like that till she's one. Even though her legs are long and they touch the seat and make her knees bend up a little - she doesn't complain and we wouldnt turn her if she did!! haha

    But I'm a mean mummy.. and we all know that..

    Heya.

    Happy 8 months cutiepie Mehkelti!

    Mez - Yay! for finding bathers. I always have trouble finding ones I like. I'm fusssssy. Yep, another year flew by.

    Missy
    - I'm sorry to hear about your BIL's cancer. I hope the treatment works. I'm glad your mum's op went well and she seems to be okay.

    Pixie - We've got some seperation anxiety here too. It's not so bad when we're at home at the moment, if he's distracted then it's all good for a little bit. hehe. When we're at someone elses place then he just follows me around whinging saying mum and starts to cry if he can't see me at all.
    I hope Beth's sleeping gets better for you. She's a little goer with her walking. She's going fantastically!!!

    Kell - Good luck with the move. I hope it all goes smoothly and there aren't too many hassles. Take care

    Mel - You're not a mean mummy!!! I actually feel like a mean mum alot lately, but hey someone has to bthat role. Lol. Cute video on FB too. I loved it!

    Carseats:
    We haven't turned him around in our car yet. We'll wait until he reaches the weight limit, then spin him around. The other older chair we use in my sister's car is forward facing now though, as he reached the weight limit, the little chubba.
    I too watched that video too, Mel. It opened my eyes up, that's for sure.

    As for us:
    DS1 is doing really well with school. His attitude isn't half as bad as it was there a few weeks ago. He's doing fantastically with his reading too. I'm so proud of him.
    Now he just needs to work on not being the boss of everyone and thinking he knows everything. :P
    Haydie's day sleeps are a bit out of whack this week, so I'm hanging out for DP to finish work every day this week.


    It's raining here today. It's so relaxing. Have a great day!

    Thankyou for the kind words for my BIL ladies.
    My Hubby is learning his job too (truck driver) as my sister wants to make sure in the long run if BIL cant work anymore.
    What about this vid. Did I miss some thing??

    Mez: Yay on the bathers!! I hate looking for them these days!

    Missy: Sorry to hear about your BIL again, I hope everything goes ok with his treatment. I'm glad your mum is going good after her op! Ohh I wish I was going to Melb soon we could have all met up! Don't think we'll be going until xmas though.

    Pix: OMG busy busy huh? Hope Beth settles at night for you soon....I'm having a similar issue tonight! Actually lately she has been waking up during the night.

    Kell: How exciting about the move! Good luck! Don't be gone too long! hehe

    Mel: I'm a mean mummy too.....I have a poem thing on Mean mummies, it was fantastic! I should try and find it!

    Tenny: That is awesome DS1 is doing well at school already, he is probably too tired to have the attitude now haha

    RE: Carseats...

    With Jayden I waited until he was of weight and not 1 gram less! He was about 7mths. I haven't seen the video but someone on BB who fits carseats (I think she works at a baby store) said 1yr is the recommendation now. Although their legs might be too long, an injured or broken leg in an accident is better than the alternative....That was enough for me to be convinced.

    Now on to WHY we are up at this ungodly hour!!! Ash woke at 1.15am, not too unusual lately. fed her and put her back to bed not long after she's sitting up playing in her cot and being VERY vocal! A couple of feeds later still not sleepy, she is almost hypo!! Hmmm could be the fruit n nut chocolate I had earlier!!?? Anyway she has been watching tv since 2.15am and now getting whingy. I have eaten the rest of the chocolate so I'm too scared to feed her again . We are going to Hervey Bay in the morning and so far I've had just over an hours sleep......Oooo I think she is going to sleep now!! Least she's let me catch up on BB LOL

    Just thought id pop in for one last visit lol.

    Re the car seat.. yeh Keiras legs were bent up for a while but also she was too tall for the harness. With out car seat it says you have to use the insert for rear facing which only has 2 heights for the harness. Plus shes also at the weight requirements to turn around.

    Tan.. hope you have a lovely time at Hervey Bay!! lol silly Ash.. maybe she was too excited about going away

    Tenny.. oh thats wonderful to hear Elijah is doing alot better. How are you feeling hun?

    Well just a short one. Have mostly everything packed. Picking the truck up at 8am and am dropping the kids off at Kristy's. Shes so wonderful.

    See you all soon.. take care
