Babies Born July 16th ~31st 2008 #9

Afternoon everyone! :hello:

Happy 9 months, Jacob!!

Pixie - OMG! New Zealand!!! That sounds so exciting. Travelling around in a motorhome thingie... That's a great way to see things, I think. Wowie! Go Beth and her walking and running. We're having alot of spills here too. Luckily no marks or brusies.. yet. :pray:
I know what you mean about wanting to get picked up, and then when they're up they can't wait to get down. It's frustrating.

SW - Wooohooo about your house and the kitchen! It all sounds really awesome. Hopefully the year flys by and your house will be all done and you'll be in it. :leap:
Alyssa is such a cutie. We had the same issues with food and lumps and purees. He hated them. We went straight to finger foods and it's been smooth sailing for us. I hope getting her to eat whole meals again goes well. I'm sure it will. I'm glad to hear sleeping is better for you guys. Awh, waving to the cats. That's adorable.

Tan - OoOo. Pg scare. I've been doing a heap of silly things lately too. I don't get why and I'm not pg either. Congrats on being almost to your pre-1stbaby weight. Wooohoooooooo!!!

:hug: and stuff Mel, Mez, Feeb, Belle, Zee, Kristy, Kell, Missy and everyone else.

As for us:
I've had a really clingy, whingy bubba for the past few days. Today was actually the best mood he's been in all week. I got some of the housework done while he was quiet and not following me around whinging. It's been spit city here + reallllll rosy cheeks.
He thinks standing up on everything is fun, especially pulling himself up on the back on my legs while I'm making dinner. :rolleyes:
He now waves on command, but only to certain people that he sees alot. I've finally got him to wave DS1 off to school. YAY! I was more excited then DS1 was. Hahaha!
He's right into giving kisses lately. Spitfilled kisses. :lol:

Right now the boys are chasing each other up and down the hallway, laughing.

xox

HELLO!!!!

Im back! Yay!
Wow the last week went fast hey! But we're all in our new house! And it is soooo awesome! I absoolutely love it as does Jesse. Hes just so impressed with his new house. Loves his sandpit and cubby house and big under cover area to ride his bike! Not to mension his play room! :)
Keiras doing really well. Both kids have gone through the move as if nothing had happened. They both settled in without any problems at all. Keira FINALLY has a tooth! Woot. Just the one. But man is she a miss cranky pants lately. Take something off her and watch out! She lets you hear about it.

Will catch up at a later date.. am soooo buggered going to bed now.

Hope everyone is well.

xx

Today marks one year since FIL passed away. Would give anything for him to have met Alyssa even just once. I think he would be proud.

Can't sleep =\

HAPPY 9 MONTHS JACOB
HAPPY 8 MONTHS MEHKELTI for a few days ago
and :cheer: HAPPY 8 MONTHS BETH!! :cheer: for today!
:hug: SW you KNOW he would be proud!
Kel good to hear the move went well
Mez good to hear Izzy is sleeping again :leap: gave Beth a feed at 10.30 last night and she slept through till 6 so I might do that every night, I can live with that
Tenny LOL at the spitfilled kisses.... lucky Haydie hasn't got bumps and bruises madam here has a big cut across her forehead :crying: I feel like such a bad mummy but sometimes even when I'm standing right there I can't catch her quick enough!
:hello: to all
ETA - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEZ & TENNY! :birthday2:

SW - :( I'm sure he IS proud of her and is watching over her (which is probably why she is so advanced - he's helping her!! ;) :hug: and :comfort: to you my friend.

Thanks gals. Spending the evening with the in-laws. Hoping that today isn't too rough on MIL.

Feeling rather down at the mo. Prolly exascerbated by lack of sleep!

Oh!! And happy 8 months to Beth and Miss M, 9 months to Jacob!

Can't believe how fast it's going. Feels like yesterday I was worrying about inductions and trying to get her out before she was forcibly removed!!

Happy birthday to Tenny and Ayapi!

SW - :hug: sweet I'm pretty sure that your FIL is very proud of his little princess. Thinking of you and your family.

Tenny - Happy Birthday sweet hope you're having a great day!

Pixie - yeah I give Izzy a roll over feed at 10pm which I think helps her too. Oh how exciting you'll be going on your holiday in 2 more sleeps :dance:

:cheer: HAPPY 8 MONTHS TO MEHKELTI & BETH :cheer:

Kell - so good to see you're back online woohoo on the move going so well. :clap: how exciting Keira has her first tooth that's wonderful!

Not much going on here trying to take it easy as I have like period pains today and when I went to the toilet before and I wiped myself there was some brownish tinge on the paper so I am a little panicky at the moment. I have also moved my scan to Wednesday so hoping to take it easy over the weekend and just :pray: everything is okay.

A BIG :hello: to everyone and a Happy Easter to those that celebrate it!

Mez - happy birthday!!! brown tinges are usually ok - so you should be fine. I've heard people getting them when they get close to when their next period would have been due? So if you are nearing 8 weeks for example, your body sorta gets rid of a little bit... or so I've heard. I always have cramps when my period was due.

Pixie - sorry for not saying it earlier - happy 8 months to Beth!!!! :dance:

Tenny - happy birthday my sweet!

Kellxx - glad you are enjoying the new house - pics? sounds freakin awesome.

can everyone please reset their moods

Hope you all well

Happy bithday to the ladies too. I did say it on face book but thought I would here too. Hope you all got spoiled

Pix yay hun on going away. You lucky girls and man...hehehe

Well sorry im off again.

:hello: to everyone else.

Take care
xxxx

:hello: just quickly popped in while photos on FB were loading, spent last night at a friends "shack" we had a great time, boys fished girls looked after 4 kids :rolleyes: Chris wanted to come home cause of the footy! Jayden and I wanted to stay.

SW :hug: What a hard time it must be for you and your family now! He is definitely watching over Alyssa, but I agree its very sad that he never had the chance to meet her.

Happy 9 & 10mths to all the bubs...sorry being a bit slack too

Kell: YAY for Keira's tooth!! We still have none...my BB's are not complaining though!

Tenny: Clever little man with his waving! Jayden could clap on command at 8mths and wave to I think, Ash has just started clapping but not really on command and waving she is starting to do on command.....Oh and the kiss! Open mouth at this stage but she does it on command. So cute Haydie's is spitfilled, I got that from Jayden!

Mez: How you going hun? Has the bleeding stopped? I don't know anything about it but I'm sure everything will be fine :hug:

Sorry to anyone I forgot, I wasn't going to do personals at all but photos were taking a while.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

Happy Easter to all you lovely ladies/Bear and your little bubba's.

Happy easter to all.

Just a quick one because I thought this was very cute!

btw - AWESOME pics in FB, Tan!! You really should take up baby photography - you have such an eye for it.

Hey everyone, and Happy late Easter.

Kell - I'm glad the move went well. Go Keira and her first tooth!! Yay!!

SW - Big hugs for the other day. I'm sorry he never got to meet Alyssa. It's so hard when our loved ones miss out on meeting our children. :hug:
OMG! That picture is adorable! TOO CUTE!

Pixie - I hope you're having a wonderful time in NZ. We're starting to get more bumps and bruises now. He's getting a bit too over confident some days and it sometimes ends badly. lol.

Mez - I hope you had a great birthday! Good luck with your u/s I hope everything is fine, which I'm sure it will be. :hug: :pray:

Tan - Great photos on FB. You take amazing photos. Go Ash and her clapping. We're getting there with the clapping here. Yeah, the kisses are on command and he has so much spit it's so not funny. I don't remember DS1 having this much. Lol.

Mel - How're you going?

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I had a good birthday. DP actually suprised me with a gift, other then the one I asked for. It was goooooood.
Went to dinner. It was okay, I guess. Came home feeling worse about myself as always when I come home from seeing certain family members.
I honestly can't win. Even when we don't see them for a while, I still can do nothing right and still get those little comments that eat away at me. :redface:
They even felt the need to make me feel bad cause both the boys had scrapes on their heads. (Haydie's only happened that afternoon, when he did it on the screendoor when he was pulling himself up on it. DS1's was from a few days ago when he was being silly.) It's like duh! kids get bumps and bruises all the time, so why the comments and trying to make me feel like I don't look after my kids properly. :rolleyes:

I forgot to ask this the other day...
How big is your baby's fontanel? (I think I spelt it right)

I'm just curious is all. Haydie's was checked last time we got him weighed and she said it was good, which I already knew as it's around the same size as DS1's was.
I know all babies are different and all.

Oh. HAPPY 8 & 9MONTHS to the Bubba's I've missed!
Sorry about the long post and :hello: to everyone else.
xox

SW: Thanks, I would love to but finding the time ATM.....I have got 2 (unpaid) jobs coming up in May and June, one is for my niece's prom and the other is pregnancy shots which will involve her 2 girls as well....Hopefully if they turn out well I will look into it more seriously. I love that photo of Alyssa!!! That is gorgeous you can get her hair in pig tails!! I can't wait til Ash's hair is that long!

Tenny: First of all, don't listen to you family hun! Your boys are well looked after, you are a fantastic Mum...so what if they have scrapes and bruises, name one child (esp E's age) that doesn't? Jayden always has a bruise on his leg or bump on his head and Ashlea has a little scratch on her nose from who know what....part of life and if they say their kids didn't get scrapes or bruises then they are lying! Be the bigger person and ignore their snide remarks, I think you are doing a great job with your boys!
Thanks re the photos, for every good photo I take there are 20 bad ones though haha. Jayden had more spit than Ash...but she is getting there haha.

I cracked it at Chris tonight saying if he doesn't start helping me with dinner, bathing kids etc that I am going to quit work so I can look after everything.....I am getting sick of it, I rarely get time to myself unless its really late at night and I should be asleep, plus Ashlea has taken to waking up for a feed every night sometimes twice, which is fine if I don't have to work. Also work has asked if I can go back FT while someone is on annual leave for 4 weeks...not sure what to do as I have no one to look after the kids Mondays and Fridays I'm meant to be letting him know tomorrow what I can do.

Well I better put Jayden to bed, its getting late....he had a sleep at FDC today so its gonna take a while.

Hello all

Hope you all had a nice easter and the kiddies didnt have to much chocolate eggs. I know Callum had more then he should have.

Not much happening here. Had a girlfriends brother's funeral yesterday. Was terrrible. He was only 33. He killed himself and that just makes it all the worse. How can some one feel so depressed and alone to do that, I will never understand.

Kids are fine. Nothing really happen here that much.

Tenny yay on DP surprising you. That is the best when that happens. Tenny I have to admitt if I were you, I would say some thing to those family members and tell them to back the F&ck off. Im sorry but how dare they. I hope your doing ok. As for the fonernal, that is a great question. I have to keep an eye on Liams as Callum's close about 11 months and had to take him to the PD to make sure his head was growing. It is but only very slow. Though he might have had to have a op but it was ok. Thank God.

Tan good on you girl for speaking up. Its ok as you said if your a stay at home mum to do all but if your both working then he can help too. Matt takes care off the bathing for me everynight as its to hard doing dinner while the kids are at my feet in the kitchen. Not to meantion, dangerous as well. Him bathing them is his little one on one time with them. He is ok with it.
I also have to agree that your shots are fab hun.

Well better head off as Callum just got up and wants some toast.
:hello: to the rest of you ladies and bear.

Happy 9 months Liam my sweet.
