Babies Born July 16th ~31st 2008 #9

hello all.

well its been a few big weeks for us, so now i can sit back relax and try to catch up on some much needed rest. its only me and Sebi awake atm Ike and caleb are still sleeping. yahoo. its a mirical.

Tennykins- oh nitts!!! i have had them so many times (being a hairdresser) there is a really good product i started using when i was working called Eco kid. you get it from salons or online, they have shampoo, conditioner, wax, gel, treatment, leave in spray etc that will all help you not get them at all. i will start isaac on them soon actually. just to be safe.
Glad you had a good time at the wedding tho. lol everyone thinks my kids are angels too. i know the truth too mine often need chocking by their halo's lol.

Ayapi- poor litle miss. i agree with kell too, i was always recomended sweet food when they are sick like that. or even some of that fruit baby jel, i know its not too good other times but when they are sick the extra sugar helps.hope she is better soon.

kell- glad mil loved the cake itlooked fantastic you did a great job.

Pixie- glad you had a good time camping we would love to take the boys too but we already have a few holidays in the making.

missy- glad TTraining is going well, isaac did a poo and wee in ours the other day but now won't do it again, lol funny little man he it.

tannis-how dod work go?

as for us: we have a few holidays in the making, at easter mum, my sis, me and the 3 boys are hopefully going to our friends beach housefor a few days, it in callala reght on the beach actually its on the sand, private access. (john will be home working)....In November john and i go to fraser island fot 5 nights and leave the 3 boys with mum so thats a bit scary i think i will worry a lot...& we have just decided to do another big holiday some time between sept 2009 and march 2010. i am thinking a cruise, fiji or maybe club med thyland, club med is winning so far. just need to save the cash. we have family in thyland so we could visit them too.

ikes birthday was fun i'll uploas pics on FB asap.

the naming day was a blast too, it turned out perfect. i was a little upset in the morning due to almost 10 people pulling out at the last min. i invited 45 30 RSVP'd but only 18 came but in the end the most important ones came and we had a great time the pics (that kelly took 4 me) look great I'll upload today on FB hopefully.
no one cried and everyone was happy.

well looks like ike and caleb are waking up so better run. catch up more later too.

HAPPY 8 MONTHS LIAM, JOHNATHAN & LULU!!!:bluecheer: :cheer: :bluecheer:
Kristy great to hear the naming day went well! Can't wait to see pics!
Kel :crossfingers: on the house, hope you get it!
Missy great stats! hope everything is going well with your family and stuff
Tenny blerk on the nits! Go Haydie on the commando crawling
Mez, sending you sleepy vibes!!
Miss B is a little odd, refusing food and more tired than usual, more dirty nappies than usual. A little fractious but mostly in good spirits so I really hope she is not sick again it feels like she's been sick for months!
News here - had a BBQ for the mum's group on Sunday which was good. Managed to get to the gym this morning which was a miracle in itself, because we have had some dodgy nights around here. Feel much better for it though. Now we have to head over and visit the Bear's parents who have managed to limp home from Canada.
New pics on FB if anyone wants a squiz
sorry for no more personals :hello: to all

Happy 8mths Jonathan, Liam & Lulu!! Sorry if I have missed anyone!

Work is going ok, rather be home obviously but the feeding is going great. I was really sick yesterday (pity it wasn't a work day!:rolleyes:), I took the kids to the park and met up with Jayden's old FDC mum but only stayed an hour as I could only stand up for a few mins at a time. I lost 2 kgs and barely had the strength to hold Ashlea to feed her, ended up getting SIL to come over to watch the kids so I could sleep, I got 2.5hrs sleep all up during the day and was in bed by 7.45pm last night.....today so far so good although felt a bit off after breakfast.

Sorry no personals, I have to get ready for work, I haven't even ironed my clothes yet!

Hi

Kristy - Is there something you can just spray on every day to help prevent nits? Or do you just wash the hair regularly with the shampoo stuff as a preventative measure?

Tan - I hope you're feeling better. I'm glad the feeding is going great. Sucks about your work. :hug:

Pixie - I hope Beth isn't getting sick again. When they're sick it seems to be never ending for a while. It's so draining. Great to hear the gym was good.

Missy - Great stats Liam has. How cute that he couldn't stop smiling at the lady. Haydie was a stare bear when we went to get him weighed last. He just watched her like a hawk. No smiles or nothing.

Mel - CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: I'm so excited for you. YAY!

As for us.
Haydie has a cold, but he's been pretty good, so it's not that bad this time.
I'm at my wits end with DS1. I don't know what to do with him anymore. DP is lazy and needs to get involved more with everything - helping me, and with the boys. I do everything and lately it's like he thinks he can critisize the way I do things.
I'm so sick of being the bad person cause I'm trying to discipline DS1 even though he doesn't respect me and treats me as if I'm invisible. I really don't know what do do about anything. It's making me feel so bad about myself and such a failure. I feel like alot of the time I basically have no one.
Anyways, sorry I just had to get that out.

How's everyone else going?
:hug: and all that jazz.

xox

Aww Tenny hun :hug: you always have us hun. Im sorry DS1 is being a PITA for you. Jesse is for me too, probably not the same but i understand how frustraiting and daunting it can be always disiplining them.. well trying to. If you ever need to chat hun i always (when home) have my computer on and have msn on. PM me even and ill give you my mobile number if you need to chat.. as ill see the email notification. Any time of the day im here. But honey, you are NOT a failure. You are trying your very best with him and thats all you can be expected to do. One day he will be past this attitude. Its just another one of those phases they go through, however long it may last. You are a wonderful beautiful mummy. Please dont ever think youve done something wrong because you havent.. there is shame in loving your kids. And thats all you are doing. Your signature tells it all. Big :hug: hun and that offer for a chat is always there and ill always be here for you if you need someone ok :hug:

Gotta be quick as it's past my bedtime! Just wanted to pop in and say Tenny babe you're doing great :hug: like Kel said I'm sure it is just a stage and DS1 will be over it soon.
And we're always here to listen.
Tan, hope you're feeling better...
Mel - :o
Kel :hello:
big :hello: to everyone, going to hit the hay now

Oh :hug: :hug: Tenny hun your doing a great job.

Tell DP to get off his arse and help!!!

Dont beat yourself up, you really are doing a wonderful job. :hug:

hey Tenny how you doing hun?? Hope your ok!!

:hello: to all

Thanks for letting me get it out. I'm feeling a bit better now. I'm hoping DS1's attitude and all that jazz passes soon. I'm stuck as to how to handle him - ignoring me, thinking he can do whatever, and basically just walking over me. I try my hardest to discipline him but he just doesn't think he should have to listen and do what I say. I'm really stuck.

Anyways.. Today has been a quiet day. Got a few bargains at Target this morning for Haydie. He was a good boyyyy too. and..
HAPPY 8MONTHS TO MY PRECIOUS LITTLE GUY!!!!

At the moment he's doing commando crawling and some proper crawling. Once he works out it's faster and less effort when he crawls properly, he'll be off like a rocket. He zooms around the place with the commando deal as it is.

Sorry it's all me me me.
:grouphug:

Hi Everyone

It has been ages since I last posted - i have been lurking though. Guess everyone's really busy huh?

It is great to see everyone's stats. Here are Lulu's:

Age: 8 and a half Months
Weight: 9kgs
Height: I'm not sure! I didn't measure her last time.
Milk: S26
How Often: 6.30am, 10am, 12.30am, 3.0pm, 6pm. It is about 4 bottles a day all up.
Solids: Farex cereal with Pear juice, Lunch - Some of what I'm having like bread, vegies, Dinner - some home made or jar food like pasta, vegetables, mashed up chicken.
Other Medication: None
Day Sleeps: Morning - anything from 20 minutes to 2 hours from 9.30am. Afternoon - 4pm for about an hour. Night: Sleeps through from 7.30pm until 6.30am
Settles: Generally she's ok, some nights she needs a little pat to rock off to sleep. Other nights are just hell - she throws herself around the cot all night.
Size Clothes: 00 and 0
Size Nappies: Huggies Crawler
Favourite Toy: Jemima doll from Playschool and a very noisy Fisher Price zoo truck!
Milestones: Crawls very quickly, sits, stands, walks between furniture, just starting to bend down to pick things up while standing. She's into everything! It is a lot of hard work keeping her out of things all day. Waves, claps, dances, lots of babbling but no definate words yet. She's generally pretty happy but very clingy at the moment! Won't stay in the pram too long, whines until she gets picked up a lot of the time. She's very social so I think that's why but I'm trying to get her out of it.

We were at a BBQ on Sunday and there was a 6 month old baby who sat in her pram the whole time playing with a toy. She didn't cry, kick or anything. I was like, how do you get a baby to do that??! My baby will NOT sit still for a second.

I started doing contract work for my old employer from home in March which feels good for my brain and it is nice to have the extra money, but it is so hard to do with Lulu at the moment. I've tried to get her into some child care for a morning a week but I've been told there won't be any vacancies until next year!!! huh???

I hope everyone is well! Tenny, goog to hear you are a feeling a bit better hun. Mel congratulations!!

Love

Maj

Hello all,

Well it's been a while but things are starting to settle more here. We had Izzy's Christening on the weekend and it went really well, she was such a wonderful girl on the day. She looked gorgeous too I have pics on FB if anyone wants to check them out. Yesterday the last of our visitors left so I am enjoying the quiet. Isabel has tonsillitis though so her crying all the time does break that quiet time lol.

Happy 8 /9 Months to all the babies I have missed while I was MIA.

Mel - Congratulations sweet when is the little one due??

Kell - great stats for Keira she is doing so well - Woohoo on your new house I bet you're looking forward to moving in this week hey!

Maj - great stats for Lulu too, our little princess doesn't sit still either and really wouldn't want her too either.

Tenny - good to hear you're feeling better and just remember you are a wonderful mum.
