Stay cool loveleies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Callum.....Big 3 year old now!!

Missy: I was sure Callum had his bday not long ago....goes to show how time flies huh?? Hope he has had a great day!!

Sweetpea: Yep 7 is PLENTY!! LOL I just back from shopping with my 2 after Ashlea had her needles.....2 is plenty for me hehe

Kell: I would have rathered Maccas I think, I'm getting so sick of HJ's

Tenny: Its sad our kids are saying words and moving haha I just don't want her to grow up....not yet anyway LOL. Are you guys having another bub? Poor Haydie and you of course hehe I hope tonight is much better for you. Least with E at school now you can have a little break.

Feeb: Thats great Jacob is coping with the heat! I'm sure kids don't feel temperature like we do, its like my niece & nephew can jump into a freezing pool in the middle of winter and tell me the waters ok :rolleyes: YAY for gymbaroo and swimming!

Ashlea went pretty good with her shots, cried for a few seconds then all smiles for her brother! She did get whingy at the shops though, but she had been trying to sleep and Jayden kept waking her up plus she was due for a feed. I still managed to go through the clearance items at Big W, have lunch, talked to a friend for a while and did the groceries with the 2 kids who were both over being at the shops. Now I have the both of them asleep, I want to wake Jayden but it is so peaceful!!

Hi all

Awww thanks so much for the bday wishes for Callum. He had a great time. He loved all his pressies and we only got out of the pool about 1 hr ago. Im buggered now...lol.

Off to mums house for another party for him tomorrow with the family.

Well sorry to tired for personals.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Missy - I'm glad Callum had a great day. I hope tomorrow's party goes great too. Have a great weekend aswell.

Tan - We'll probably have another baby one day. We haven't decided how many kids we'd like, so it's not out of the question or anything. I'm glad Ash went well with her shots. We're getting ours on tuesday or wednesday. DP was being mean and saying I had to go do it all by myself. I almost cried. I'm such a sook. I know I couldn't handle it on my own. Yeah, it gives us a break now DS1 is at school so we can both catch up on sleep if we need to.

Feeb - What's Gymbarro? I've never heard of it before.

Anyways, I figured out why last nights sleeping was so cruddy. He cut the top 2 teeth. I'm such a silly idiot and didn't work it out all day. I didn't even feel his gums today like i usually do. :doh:
My poor bubbablue. Hopefully now they're out it he can have a little break from the pain before the others start. Fingers crossed.

Feeling a little lonely tonight. DP is working late. I hate it when he works late, but I like the extra $$$. :lol:

:hug: and <3's all round.

gymbaroo is a class with singing dancing, touching diff textures lots of fun, did a trial seesion in november. will send u link on facebook.

We have power back after 2 hrs with none and it was soooooooooooooooo hot with no power there was no breeze outside to come in so went from DS in bath to boob and back!!

Gymbarro sounds great!!!

No power for 2hrs in that heat. WOW. That must have been awful.

well hello to everyone. I was just thinking about everyone and thought I would come on and say hi. it has been sooooo long.

You all sound like you are doing great, which I am so happy about, and I can't believe our tiny little bubbas are now big 6 and 7 month olds. it is just soooo weird.

Georgia and I are doing really well, although like her mummy she is not loving the 43-45 degree days we have been having, sorry to say it Mez and Feeb but my power outage slightly trumps yours. On Wednesday afternoon at 5pm when it was 43 degrees outside, we lost our power... it didn't come back on until 11:30am the following day!!!!!!!!!!!!! NIGHTMARE!!! Georgia and I ended up sleeping at my mum's. my poor DH came home at like 10pm cos the electric company said it should be on by then, and then had to spend the whole night baking. then I had to throw out everything in our freezer and fridge... not happy!!!

Georgia is on solids now, and loves apples. she polishes off every bit i give her. also she likes to eat it all cold. pumpkin, carrot, all cold. hmmm.

Missy - thanks for passing on 'hi' the other day when I caught up with Mez and Fi and Tassy. very sweet of you. oh and I can't believe that Callum punched Liam, I wonder what Liam did to p*ss him off (other than being born that is) ;) no worries though, Liam will grow up and get him back one day soon.

Fi - we are going to start swimming lessons soon, and I think I am going to try to do mums and bubs yoga. I might wait a bit longer before going for the gymbaroo sessions.

Mez - I would think that Izzy is having sleeping difficuties because of the hot weather. Georgia has been struggling with it too. will she take water from a cup. or you could even just give her some water in a bottle when she wakes up at night, cos she might be thirsty, and that could fill her up enough for her to go to sleep.

Tan - I hope you let Jayden sleep... take your peaceful times when you can get then I reckon. sorry Chris still isn't any better with Ash, I thought he might have gotten more helpful as she got older. i don't know how you do it all on your own.

To everyone else big hello's!!!! Enjoy the weekend!

Evening everyone

Hi Jess - good to hear you guys are going well.

Missy - Happy birthday to Callum (did I say it? I thought I said it on FB but not sure - was busy today at work) But I hope he had a great day.

Tan - do you have the same problem we do if you let J sleep? Aricyn had a nap at daycare today for two hours - took an hour and a half to get him to sleep tonight. No wonder we don't let him sleep during the day anymore!!!! lol

Tenny - :hug: that sucks with your dad and his mate. I hate situations like that. Don't be afraid to stick up for yourself.

Better go get the miss for her last bottle.. running a bit behind tonight.

Much love to all and sundry ;)

*mwah*

big :hello: to JessicaKate and very happy six months to Miss Georgia for last week!
Pretty hot one here today, not much happening, Bear and Beth having a snooze atm so having some mummy time!
Hope everyone is having a good day and keeping cool!

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all having good weekends and all you southerners are coping with the heat and power problems. My pregnant friend in Melbourne is having a terrible time - fainting and nauseas and is really feeling the heat poor thing. I'm so glad the heavy part of my pregnancy was in the winter months!

Tannis - I think you are an absolute legend for picking up the mower yourself and finishing the job your hubby couldn't. You rock, girl.

Jessicakate - I started baby yoga with Lulu on Friday. She had the shortest attention span in the room and kept rolling over to talk to the other babies! But I loved it - thoroughly recommend it as a good way to spend an hour bonding and excercising with your baby. I felt really good afterwards and have signed up for 8 weeks of classes.

Just a quick pop- in, but a big hello to everyone else.

xxMaj

Hey everyone.

Tan - I can't believe Chris says stuff about the dishes not being done, when he only mows half the lawn. what the... I've mowed our place once, while DP watched, then while I was practically on the 'home stretch' he offers to finish it to give me a break. He couldn't ask while I was half way through or something :rolleyes:

JessicaKate - Great to see you again and to hear Georgia is doing well.

:hello: Majella, Mel, Pixie, Mez, Feeb, Tasia, Missy, Kell and everyone else I may have accidently missed.

Sleep is getting better for us, thank god.Also less whinging to be held ALL the time, so it must have been those teeth. I'm glad they're out. I hope everyone else's bubbas are sleeping well and being good.

:grouphug:

Evening all..

Jess - Hey sweet good to see that you popped in again. So happy that gorgeous Georgia is doing so well, can't wait to see you both again real soon.

Missy - Happy birthday for your spunky boy Callum, I did send my best on FB. I hope that he had a wonderful time at both parties.

Tenny - so good to hear that the sleeping is getting better for you guys. We are struggling but I do believe that it's her teeth poor little chicken.

Feeb - have fun at gymbarro and swimming this week. I know that I will on Thursday when Izzy starts swimming too lol.

we had a lovely weekend, yesterday we went to St Leonard's to our holiday house which was great, went to the beach with Izzy for the first time and she loved it! My DH got burnt he looks like a lobster :doh:only cause it was so windy you didn't realise that it was warm. On our way home Isabel was a nightmare she cried from Geelong all the way home couldn't do anything to stop her crying... Today we just had a quiet one, oh we went and joined our YMCA so we have to motivate ourselves to get off our butts and get into shape :lol:

A BIG :hello: to Tannis, Kell, Maj, Pixie, Tasia, sweetpea and everyone else that I may have missed.

Hi girls, thanks so much for your replies re my mum. We were at mums most the week and then on Thursday we headed up to mum's beachhouse about 2 hours north of Sydney and relaxed there for a while and came back today. Hope you are all well, we enjoyed the beach but missed the NET LOL.

Will read and catchup with whats going on with you all and then post, until then, hope you are all well and good to see you all again!

HAPPY SIX MONTHS CUTIEPIE MEHKELTI
:leap::leap:

Belle - Great to see you again. I hope your mum is doing ok. :hug: :hug: Sounds like you had a great time at the beachhouse.

Mez - Sounds like you had a great time at your beachhouse too. YAY for Izzy liking the beach. I hope your getting more sleep and the teeth aren't causing too much trouble.

Not much else here.
Haydie's still asleep. YAY!
Has anyone found that Pandadol works better for them then Nurafen, or vice versa??
Just curious and stuffs.

... and I feel bad that Haydie looks so much like me. I was looking at some old baby photos of me and it's like we're the same but I'm a girl, obviously. :rofl:
I showed DP and stuff, but it upsets him and I feel even worse. :(

:hello: Mel, Pixie, Tan, SW, Feeb, Tasia, Sweetpea, Kell, Missy and anyone else I may have accidently missed

Hi all

Yup my baby is finally 6 months - yayyy!! As most of you know (cos you're all on facebook with me) Miss M had her solids last night (figured 6 hours away from being 6 months wasn't a HUGE thing, and I wanted daddy to be home to see it, instead of being at work) and yeah, once she worked out that they are supposed to go into her mouth, I think she had a ball! Don't know if she actually ate anything - pretty sure she got some bread down though.

Tenny - thats silly that your DP feels bad!! Come on - its not your fault - you get what you are given with babies - including what they look like. I make jokes about mine looking like DH - but seriously - I don't really care that they don't look like me. People know that they are mine cos I carry the buggers around all the time (and I'm the crazy one yelling at DS all the time - everyone just assumes I'm the mother!!) My point is, don't feel bad about something that you had NO control over. He'll change looks as he gets older anyway, so your DP might still get a look in. Oh, and the general consensus is that panadol works faster, but nurofen keeps them happier for longer.

Hi to everyone else. Busy bee here today - something is going to be revealed, so gotta keep working!!!!!!

*mwah*

much love to all.

Mel - The photos on FB are gorgeous! Did she like everything you gave her? We're going to start Zucchini this week. Not really sure how I'm going to go about it. :doh:

Thanks for that about Panadol vs. Nurafen.
For us, during the daytime, if he needs it which I don't give very often during the day anyways, I'll use Nurafen.. At night, It's Panadol. It does seem to work faster and it lasts a while for us too. We found Nurafen wears off faster lately.
I just wondered if anyone noticed a difference like us, and the fact I'm nosey doesn't help either. :lol:

Yeah, it's not like I pick and choose what they're going to look like. It kinda makes me excited inside, and shocked aswell, that he looks so much like I did. They got his height though, which I'm thankful for, and not my shortie genes. :rofl:
DP even mentioned that he hates that my family comment how much Haydie looks like me. I really don't know what to say to him when he says that. I want to make him feel better but I don't know how.

:cheer: Happy 6mths Mehkelti!! :cheer:

Tenny: I'd be happy Hayden looks like you! He is adorable! As Mel said he will change his looks as he grows up anyway.

Mel: I'm getting excited for you!! Love the FB pics! Yes we have the same probs re toddler sleeping...it was about 10.30pm last night! Luckily Ashlea was in bed by 7.30pm!

Belle: I must have missed the thread about your Mum! Glad you had a great time at the beach!

Mez: YAY on joining YMCA! Poor DH! I used to get so burnt when I was in Melb, ironically now I don't get all that burnt....my skin is probably used to the sun now.

Majella: I was glad I wasn't heavily PG in the summer too, not sure how I'd handle it.....guess we'll never find out LOL. Thanks, re lawn mower LOL....I had fun doing it though, I'm kinda waiting for the grass to be long enough again so I can mow it LOL.


Sorry I know I have missed heaps, but I just wanted to quickly drop in before Jayden starts annoying Ash again!

Ashlea started solids (as most know) on 30/01/09 @ 6mth 2days old. Started with Farex with BM....If the neighbours were looking through the window it would have been a sight.....me with a little bowl in 1 hand and the other trying to squeeze out BM! I gave up and used the pump (which wasn't much better). Day 1 and 2 Ash wasn't interested but by day 3 I mixed it with water (SO much easier!!) and she ate it.....I wouldn't say she really like it but she would have had about a tablespoon.

Whats on for today everyone??
We have to go get nappies for Jayden (was hoping not to need them :rolleyes: then home again to fold washing and finally clean this house properly!

Have a good day!

Tan - yeah 9.30/10.00 the other night for us too. Bloody day care gave him a day sleep!! GRRRR.... so yeah, much better putting him to bed at 6.45, and he just passes out - you get so much done in the evenings when both kids are asleep by 7pm!!!

Tan - YAY For the solids. That's fantastic! A tablespoon is greatttt!

Not much on for me today. Trying to decide if I want to go for a walk during in the day or wait till the afternoon when DP finished work. :dunno:
Just being lazy this morning. Still heaps lost with DS1 starting school. He has a long day today - goes till 3 instead of 1:30. He's going to be sooooooooo tired, especially since he won't go to sleep early either. :rolleyes:

Hello ladies.

Its great to see everyone here is still chatting happily, Isaac's baby buddy group doesn't chat at all. I have missed heaps again.

Thanks for the 7month well wishers too.

We had a pritty busy weekend swimming lessons sat morning than went to see a lady about makeing the twins naming day cake and did my usual saturday cleaning. sunday we did a heap of yard work, paving buioling gardens and i oiles out outdoor setting, hopefully i can do a 2nd coat today when isaac has a nap. Its all to get ready for the naming day. and i hope to clean my windows and inside the windor rails today too.

Missy- thanks for friday. we had a gr8 time. Isaac enjoyed himself he loves the kids but i think most of all he loved your dogs. he slept well friday night.

bell- Hi Glad you enjoyed the beach, i haven't been this year. I like the beach but hate the sun and heat. i would like to take isaac when it cools down a little.

kell/feeb -we have a chatter too, sebi says dad dad dad, quite a lot, Caleb is quiet.

Jess - all my boys are cold eaters, even now isaac makes us make his dinner stone cold before he eats it, the only thing he eats warm is a carbonara or indian food. i think the twins are the same the pull faces when its warm but gobble it when its cold:rolleyes:. im glad georgia is doing well and likes her food.

I would like to take the twins to gymbaroo but its too hard with twins. Isaac does swimming lessons with jesse on a sat morning but the twins will have to waite till isaac is able to go in the pool on his own so i can take him during the week without paying for crech. and than DH and i will take the twins together on a weekend.once it gets too cold for swimming we thought about doing gymnastics at our local YMCA.

Tennykins- why did your DH get upset that he looks like you? tell him to suck it up. all my boys look like me i hassle DH and tell him they might be the milk mans after all. (if we had one). and TBH its not your job to make him feel better about something so silly, as i said just say suck it up princess, there are more important things to worry about. and than add " also hon i'm going out can you do the housework while im out, don't forget to seperate the whites" your a fantasic mum with enough on your pate without having worry about him too.

:dance:I have lost 1.5kg in 2 weeks. i have been doing meal replacement shakes during the day and a normal low carb/fat dinner at night. I'm taking the easy way out but its working. and surprise surprise i have even been useing my treadmil.:lol:

ok Isaac is getting restless wants to do playdoh so better go play with him before his nap. and the twins wake up from theirs. oh and now i smell something in his pants that scares me.

take care all. enjoy your week who knows when i'll be able to come back on. :D

Morning all,

:cheer: Happy 6 months gorgeous Mehkelti :cheer:

Mel - I had a look at your FB pics and Miss M looks so happy eating her food, did you cook them? I'm a little hesitant to give Izzy sticks scared she is going to choke! Can't wait to hear your reveal..

Kristy - Woohoo on losing the weight that is wonderful, good on you for making your boys naming cake, I'm going to go and buy Izzy's christening cake I just really don't have the patience to make one. But they cost heaps hey! I can't believe how much.

Tenny - you can't help how your little boy looks, lots of people say that Izzy looks like me and then others say she looks like her daddy. In the end they are going to look like themselves and have their own little personality so your DP shouldn't get upset about what anyone says.

Tannis - we are going to go to Highpoint today to pick up all our photo frames for our pixi fotos and then I think I'll go and do some grocery shopping. Loving the cool change that has come through.

Belle - look forward to catching up with you. I'm glad that your mum is doing well and that you all had a great time at the beach house!

Sorry for the continuing silence from this end. Been hectic with Alyssa crawling EVERYWHERE. If she's asleep I'm either catching up on stuff or sleeping myself, and if she's awake I'm constantly on the go making sure she's not getting into everything she shouldn't, and generally keeping her entertained =))) It's a lot of fun!

Happy 6 and 7 months to everyone, happy birthday to the older kidlets, etc etc etc. Too much to catch up on, not enough time =)

Gotta go and entertain. Waves!

:cheer: HAPPY SIX MONTHS TO THE DIVINE MISS M! :cheer:
Hey folks.... well went to the gym this morning but other than that haven't done much today - or should I say that everything I have done has been done one-handed with an 8kg infant on one hip :rolleyes:. Not sure what's up with Beth at the moment but she is soooooo clingy, it's not like her. Been like that for a week or so, hope it passes soon.... it's hard work. those on FB will know we had a major projectile vomiting incident last night.. it was real exorcist material. Quite scary, I'm glad the Bear was here and it didn't happen after tomorrow when he will be in Singapore for the week. I don't think it was something she ate - all she had yesterday was avocado which she has had before without any problem. She might have drunk a bit too much pool water when we were swimming yesterday.
Good to hear solids are going well Tan and Mel.
Tenny don't listen to your DH.
Kristy sounds like you are going great with the weight loss!
Belle we really have to get to the beach one of these days but the Bear is just working too much atm and when he is home he is completely stuffed.
SW checked out some of your recent photos :)
Took Beth shopping for a cot and high chair on the weekend. She seemed to think cots were a fun place to play, not sure she would think to go to sleep in one. I think she would be pulling herself up on the rails within about five minutes and then I would have to go and lay her back down. hmmmm maybe we will wait till she can stand and sit back down by herself!
big :hello: to everyone I missed, better go do stuff while she's asleep and I have a chance!

Well Gymbaroo was lots of fun!!!!

Happy 6 months gorgeous Mehkelti

thepixie ohh isnt the projectile spews great!!! hope you are not to lomely with bear away.

somewoman woo hoo on such good crawling!!

Ayapi hope you and gorgeous izzy r well! and enjoying swimming

kristy J hay there good to see you coming to say hello!! Gymbaroo could be possible for you as today there was a lady with 6 month old twin boys and a 20 month old DD yes u read that right!! The gymbaroo assistent joined in with 1 of the twins and 20 month old joined in with some bits and played quietly at other times.


Tennykins hope DS1 sleeps well fir you tonight then!


Arimeh hope DS sleeps better for you

Tannis great news on solids!!!

Hi all

Well its been very busy here the last few days. Liam is doing well and callum is all bday'd out...lol next will be melissa's

:hello: Jess. Awww no worries hun. I was wondering where you had got too. But im sure your really busy being a mum. Nice to see you but. :hug:

Happy 6 months gorgeous Mehkelti

Kristy im glad your and the kids had a nice time. Thanks for coming and for the gift..Awwwww yay on sebi saying Dad.:clap:

Oh Pix I know what you mean about the projectile vomiting . Liam is a champion at it. Its not nice when they do it but maybe beth had an upset tum. I hope it stops for you

Oh forgot to tell you that Callum can swim without any bubble or floaties on. We were doing it Sunday and all he wants to do now is swim without anything. he will jump in and swim to the side. Im so proud of him. :dance:

Well liam is waking so better head off

Hope the rest of you ladies and gent is well

bye for now

Hi

OMG im here again:dance:

missy- GO CALLUM...:clap:...It is really good he can swin on his own. I cant waite till ike can swim. he can swim with a bubble as of last saturdat but he still cant follow directions to well in the water, but he is still a baby. hehe the birthdays just never end do they.

feeb- i have the same age babies as that lady almost exactly, but Isaac would no way play quietly, he is ver boistrous and loud. and a little hypo at times, but i love it (most of the time) he would want to jump and climb on everything.

Pixie- you will get used to random vomiting. isaac still can vomit for no apparent reason. the heat can do it to babies a full belly of milk and a hot day isn't a good mix.

Ayapi- Im not making the cake im having a lady do it for me. she is only charging $100 and its 2 tears with stars all over, 2 bears and name plarks. wanted blocks with their names but sebastians name lookes funny as its so long. I will be making isaac's 2nd birthday cake tho.

as for us:
for the last few days i have been giving the boys toast after their breakfast. and they LOVE it so far they had vegemite twice and philly once its funny i wouldn't let isaac have vegemite toast till he was almost 1 but im more relaxed this time. and they are eating so well. their food is very lumpy already and they are having no problems with finger food. tho i do perfer to feed them mush i let them play with food at the table while the rest of us have dinner.
i will be interested to see what they weigh on friday i can feel sebi has put heaps on. Caleb now wears a size 0-1 and sebi is a 00-0, they cant crawl but im not pushing them either. caleb just rowls everywere and sebi just chills out watching everything.

not much else happening just been doing heaps of yard and house work. this heat has been killing my grass and i am trying to revive it before the Naming day. thank god for boar water i can use as much as i want.

well gotta run its late and i still need to hang out todays dirty clothes i washed.

take care xoxo

Mel: I finally got the kids in bed by 7pm! Although Ashlea woke up and fed at 7.45pm

Tenny: The days will catch up on E and he will be in bed early...least I hope so for your sake!

Kristy: Woohoo on the weight loss!! And getting on the treadmill. I got the excercise bike out today.....didn't get to use it but I was that close!!! Thats great the twins are eating well! And they are getting so big!! Size 1 already!! Ashlea isn't crawling yet either but she seems to move places without me seeing :dunno:

Mez: I love highpoint!! Have you framed the photos yet?

SW: How have you been?? YAY for Alyssa crawling everywhere, glad its you and not me LOL nah really its heaps of fun once they can move around.

Pix: I know how you feel with the clingy baby....Ashlea is permanently attached to me these days, its kinda getting annoying LOL. Whats Beth sleeping in now if you are buying her a cot?

Missy: Thats great Callum can swim on his own! Jayden can't yet but he was getting close until he got sick and now we can't go swimming :doh:

Well I'm cooking rhubarb so I should go keep an eye on it, might be back later to update on us :)

quick pop-in....
feeb - gymbaroo sounds good, might see if they have one in our area!
missy good to see you back! seems like ages since you've been on!
Kristy good to see you too LOL about the random vomiting.
Tan how do you get both your kids to go to bed by seven? I can't even get one to do it! She was awake from 3.30 so I thought perfect, she will be on target to go to bed at 7.... instead she passed out at six, woke up at 7.30, was awake for 2 hours before I put her to bed and then took nearly an hour to go to sleep! :wall:
Anyhoo folks, better get some sleep so :hello: to all

Morning

Just a quick one while Isaac and the twins are all happy.

Tannis- thanks I'm trying its easier to diet if i go out for the day. Caleb is a big boy, he and Isaac were the same size nappies. i think he is still 9kg (will know for sure on friday) but he is solid, body suits, most shorts, etc are all size one but all the rest is a 0. i think he will be tall.

Pixie- all my 3 go to bed between 7-7.30pm we have dinner about 5.30-6pm (my mum think its like having dinner in a nursing home cause its so early)than bath at 6.30pm and either i read while john puts the twins down or vice vercer than ike goes straite after. he doesn't argue at all walks himself in we cuddle and put him in his cot and leave.
we rocked isaac to sleep as a baby and it was a nightmare to get him out of it. we have never rocked the twins just bath and book like isaac and they rarely have problems except when teathing. sometimes we give them a bottle to sleep with.

its a nice overcast day here today and i am hoping it will be a good day to mow.
I had a dream last night i forgot to mow before the naming day and the grass was knee high for the ceremony. lol.

well getting hungry might go have a shake for breakfsast.

and i have to go to the shop today to buy isaac some meat, he will only eat lamb chops, saussages and porterhouse when it comes to red meat and i forgot to get him some yesterday.
Oh yeh i took all 3 grocery shopping on my own yesterday, it went really well. i had a twin baby trolly and isaac stood on the side or walked on a leash.i was prowd i managed with NO problems.

ok bubba calling gotta run.
bye

Kristy - you are super mum mate, really are. No way I would be able to handle 3 kids like you do.

Pretty unsettled baby here - and totally off her bottles - drinking 100ml - at the most - each feed. Hmmm... so not sure what is going on with her.. maybe she's decided that 7kg is just FAR too much for her to weigh.. lol

DS has developed a love for that chinese kids show on Nick Jnr. OMG he loves it. Can even say it - so its like, yeah my son can fully speak chinese.. lol

So tired. DS was up at 1.40am and then finally went back to sleep around 3.30ish. Just woke up screaming and stuff - and wanted to go out to the loungeroom. Sooooo.. hopefully he gets over whatever stage he is going through!

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all,

Kristy - You are definitely SUPER MUM, I freak out with just my little princess don't know how I would cope with 3. Well done! Cool about the cake, I really hope the one I have chosen for Izzy's Christening isn't going to cost too much.

Mel - Oh you poor thing, I hope A sleeps well for you tonight. In regards to Miss M not having much of her milk Izzy is doing the same her I'm lucky to get her to drink 100mls during the day feeds but when it comes to her 10pm she will drink all her 200mls I give her. I'm thinking it's cause of the food I give her in between her milk is why she isn't drinking it all.

Tan - Nope haven't picked up the frames yet Myer or should I say Portrait Place got my order wrong so I have to wait another week for them.

Pixie - You know as long as Beth sleeps through the night for you it would be easier dealing with the putting her to bed part. Izzy keeps on waking at 3am and just wont settle again keeps waking every hour after that :wall:

Feeb - that's so cool about Gymbaroo!

Us - Izzy is very clingy, grizzly and just very demanding lately I really don't know what is going on and to top it all off she is just not sleeping through the night anymore waking at 3am and then not staying asleep. Cause of this I find myself yelling at her which I HATE but I just cant help myself she brings the worst out of me for some reason and I feel like the most horrible mother. Today we are going to our local YMCA (where we have joined as members) for Izzy's orientation in the kidspace centre. I hope that she is good cause I would really like to start my classes on Friday.

Well I guess I better go and get ready for it, I still have the clothes to hang out and get Izzy ready.

A BIG :hello: to Tasia, Tenny, Missy, Feeb, Sweetpea, Maj, Kell and anyone I may have missed.

Mez - yeah I know mine isn't cos of the food I give her - she sucks on it, but doesn't actually consume any yet... must be just one of those things...

Oh - and I think you would be handle 3 kids fine... you just adapt... of course - you still have your days of feeling out of control and losing your temper is sooooo very easy... wait till she's a toddler and trying your patience :p

Mez big :hug: honey you're right, and sleep deprivation is so hard I'm not surprised you get frustrated that Izzy hasn't been sleeping. I hear ya on the clingy grizzly and demanding front.... seems a few of us are having that issue, hopefully it's just a phase - preferably a really short one! Hoping the kidspace thing goes great and you can start your classes!
Kristy you deserve a medal for surviving the supermarket with two babies and a toddler!
Mel hope your munchkins sort themselves out!
Feeling kind of blah and unmotivated without the Bear around... didn't help that madam woke up at 5.30, then we went back to sleep and didn't wake up till the Bear called at 7.30 (fine for me, for him it 4.30 am)but it was too late to make the walk with MG at 8.30.... :doh:

we're a bit clingy and un-sleepy in this house too - along with the refuses to go down for sleeps during the day (but she's always been like that). I can usually only get a 5 or 10 minute cat nap out of her - 20 mins max. On the 40+ degree days she was sleeping better in the days and then not at all in the nights. But overall, she's generally a bit harder to get to sleep, harder to keep asleep and a lot more clingy. I suspect we're about to get teeth

Mez - can well imagine your frustrations with sleep - agree with Pixie that a few of us are going through sleep weirdness at the mo!

On the happier (or scarier) side of things, she started pulling herself up to kneeling position a few days ago. This was expected pretty close to the crawling thing. She does it one handed now =) The scary bit is that if the thing she has pulled herself up against is low enough, she uses it to push herself to standing position!! She can't pull herself up against something too straight at the moment, but I'm tipping that's not far off!! It helps if there's something she wants to get at, but she has now stood up by herself on the couch while attempting to reach the cat on the scratching post next to it, and pulled herself up against the bed that I have setup in her room. Bad quality photo, but she had stopped doing it on the couch by the time I dragged out a camera!

she's just found daddy's work computer - better go save it.

waves and hugs =)

Thanks girls, I guess it's just all getting to me cause of lack of sleep. I really do love being a mummy and wouldn't change anything for my gorgeous princess. I just hope this faze she is going through doesn't last for too long!

SW - Wow Alyssa is amazing pulling herself up and standing that's wonderful.

Pixie - hopefully next week you'll make your walk with your MG. How long is Bear away for?? I know how you feel cause my DH travels heaps too.

Good news Izzy did well at the kidspace today and I have booked her in for Saturday, Wed, Frid so I can start my program.

Hi everyone

Kristy - I know everyone has already said it, but yeah, you are a supermum to handle three little kids and keep on track of your own goals like weight loss. Geez, I feel like a total under achiever.

Mez - Totally understand how you feel after getting mad with Izzy. It's so hard to be rational in those circumstances, especially in the early morning hours. I never wanted to yell at my kids, but it is just so hard to be calm when you are sleep deprived and frustrated, hey? I hope you can get to your gym classes on Friday -it may make you feel better all round to have some excercise time to yourself.

Well after a couple clingy, crying days like you all seem to be experiencing we finally have our first tooth here! And almost like magic Lulu's mood has changed back into the chirpy little bub she was a couple of weeks ago. Amazing! I guess there's only 16 or so more teeth to go! Oh well.

Better run.

Hugs to all!

Maj

SW I took Beth to Baby Kingdom the other day and she was pulling herself up to standing position too - I had to show her where to put her hands, but she did the pulling... :rolleyes: and she can stand holding on to something for quite a while. We got her this big cube thing from the toy library and she can stand there for a few minutes playing with it.... but I have to be nearby cause it's 'timber' the moment she loses concentration. Yesterday she was holding a toy and let go of the cube completely - and was standing there entirely unaided.... for about ten seconds. And then it was like Wile E. Coyote going over the cliff! still no crawling though...
Majella - LOL about the 16 more teeth
Mez - just big :hug:s
:hello: to Tasia, Tenny, Tannis, Missy, Mel, Kel, Belle, Zee and everyone

Pixie you might have one that goes straight to walking!! Early too, by the sounds of things ;)

Gotta go save the PS3 from the girl!

Waves

Mez: Big :hug: I understand totally!! I had a bad mummy moment at the shops today, while I was paying for the chicken at lenards Jayden ran to the other side of the shops to where the ride was and I just let him go. I was so sick of him playing up for me today and Ashlea was crying and wouldn't go off to sleep like she normally would and I had zero energy to deal with it.....Actually I had many bad mummy moments today LOL.

Sorry I have read through just no energy today! I even had a nap which NEVER happens and I still feel blahhh

WTG to the babies that are pulling themselves up!! So exciting!

All our babies are testing us ATM, its the age, they are getting more knowing of the things around them and the meaning of cause and effect. I'm sure Ashlea realises if Jayden goes near her he gets in trouble, I have caught her a few times now whinging as soon as Jayden is in sight even if he's not touching her.

I made myself get back on the bike last night, 6.5kms and 5kms today. I hope I can keep it up, I'm back at work soon and I want to lose some weight before I go back. Anyway I'm off to make it look like I have done something today, and to hide the Maccas I had for lunch :redface:

Howdee there..

Gee its been a few pages since ive posted. Will try and catch up now that both kids are in bed.

Tenny.. thats great Elijahs going so well at big school. Makes it so much easier on us hey! Oooow watch out toothie pegs! I bet Keira will be the same. No signs of teeth with her. Hmm so knowing my luck, or hers too, theyll all come through at once. Oow i just read that Hayden cut his top 2 teeth poor little mite. Hope he, and you, get some relief now theyre through. Re the panadol/Nurophen. I only give Nurophen if its REALLY necessary.. ie if panadol isnt working. I find Nurophen to work better and be stronger than panadol, but you have to make sure they have eaten before you give it to them and not prolong its use as it can swell your kidneys. So we mostly use panadol.. well Dymadon which is the same thing as panadol, just different brand and is an orange flavour and tastes so much nicer. Oh hun. Everyone says Keira looks like me.. she has the same eyes. But i just say, yeh but they change so much. Jesse always looked like Grahame, now people think he looks like me. Theyre forever changing. Who knows, your boys may end up spitting images of your DH when they get older.

Feeb.. ooow gymberoo and swimming will be fun! Oh so cute Jacob and his words. Its so great when they start to do things like that hey.

Tan.. well done missy with her shots! No more for another 6 months! woo! YAY for Ash and her solids. lol re the breast milk. Yep at least its a start. Shes probably just thinking what the hell is this as they all do ;)

Jessica.. great to see you hun! And to hear miss Georgia is going so well!

Majella.. aww hope your friend is ok.. would be horrible to be pregnant in this heat!

Mez.. oh glad you had a nice time away. Ive been dying to take the kids to the beach.. its a few hours drive from us though unfort. One day. Oh honey you are definately not a horrible mother. I have done the same so many times too with both kids. Times ive just had to say Dh here take him/her i cant deal with it no more. Jesse use to have the worst nights when he had a tooth coming through. I soon noticed that within a few days of those bad nights a tooth would come through. I hope thats all it is and shes back to herself soon poor pet.

Mel.. yay for M and her solids!! How many bottles is she having a day? Maybe its time to cut one out? Keira did the same when she started solids, shes down to 3 bottles per day now.

Pixie.. aww dear i didnt hear about Beth. I hope shes ok. Yeh who knows, maybe she had a bug or something? Thats so much going around. How is she now? Woo go Beth and her standing!

Missy.. thats great Callum swimming with now bubble!

Well whats new for us.. hmmm..
Keira and her solids. If she eats something that is too lumpy or has any lumps in it actually.. she will gag. When she gags, she throws up. Not just a little.. a full chuck of whatevers in her stomach. Yeh joy! Thank goodness for me and my tablets as its not worrying me at all. Just annoying that whatever shes eaten is now out.. and that i have to make sure everything is really puree. Am thinking it may be related to her reflux, and hopefully will pass.

Have been busy organising Keira's Naming Day which is on the 15th. Have organised everything for the cake im making. Cant wait to make it. Got her dress and ordered the balloons. Am very excited, cant wait.

Jesse's still loving preschool! He runs in there, cant get in there fast enough and is just so excited to go every week which is great!

Keiras got no signs of teeth. Shes sleeping great at night. Both kids are in bed by 7.30pm each night and shes also self settling too which im proud of.

Think thats about all to tell here. Am hating the heat with a passion.. so cant wait for winter.
