Night all

**Jewel** · September 14th, 2008, 09:25 AM

Just a quick one.
I hope you all are having a fantastic weekend and the weather is great.
It was so hot here yesterday. It got to like 31 degrees.

I better go start getting things ready so I'm actually on time or close to it.
It's so hard to actually be on time with 2 kids now. It was easy with just 1, no troubles but 2 is a different story.
Please tell me you all are having the same problem and it's not just me and my bad organisation skills. Lol.

xoxo

SW - a meet up including chocolate? I like the way you think.....

Pixie - DD only has unsettled periods when she is overtired.....drives me crazy!!!!

Tan - yup let me know.. and well done for all your efforts with BFing - I so admire you

Anastasia - sounds like you have a very placid baby there

Zee - I hate it when DS is in a cranky mood and DD is unsettled - at the same time... I just want to run away....lol

Kel - ok I'll move to syd... now... just convince DH for me... lol... fif you find him a job down there he might be more into the idea.....pmsl

Tenny - nope. definitely harder with 2. I'm always late!!!

**thepixie** · September 14th, 2008, 10:20 AM

Morning folks
Zee - definitely keen for another meet up that was fun! You poor thing you must be sooooo knackered!
And Mel, you really should move to Sydney! LOL
it was really hot yesterday and I discovered I have NO spring or summer clothes that fit over my now-huge boobies! Have to go shopping damn it!
We had a good day yesterday - markets in the morning, went for a walk with my stepmother in the afternoon and went to PIL's for dinner. That was fine except we were late and DD was really wired by the end of it. Everyone passed her around the table and played with her until she was really aggro and hyperstimulated. I'm like great - you all shake her up and make her cry and THEN when she's screaming you give her back to me! She was perfectly placid at the beginning! LOL She was pretty unsettled when we got home, but we just sat her up on the couch in front of the TV and she watched the Bill with us. It was very cute.
Anyway got to grab a quick shower while the Bear is making breakie.... so

everyone - have a great day

ETA - Beth is sitting in the rocker watching "one-hit wonders of the 80's" in bemused fascination ..... and every time I try to take her away from it she gets grumpy!!! LOLOL

Afternoon all..

Well the weekend has yet again gone by quickly. I have to say these last 7 weeks have just flown really. Yesterday the weather here in Melbourne was just gorgeous 25 and we did manage to enjoy some of it. Today it's colder but still not too bad. Isabel is doing well now that she is on a new formula. Last night she went to sleep around 7pm and didn't wake till midnight then slept until 5am woohoo..

But she does have unsettled hours during the day that she doesn't sleep even though I know she is overtired.

Zee - I hope you got some sleep sweet, how is little Lucas doing?

Pixie - sounds like Beth is into the 80s lol whatever it takes to calm them I would do like you, Izzy has this musical bug on her change table which she loves and coos so when she isn't settled or crying I usually lay her there and she is happy and calm.

Tenny - I'm sure that it would be harder with 2 kids, it's easy with one we just pick her up and go whether she likes it or not lol.

Missy - I'm for a catch up once a year with everyone within our group I think that it's a wonderful idea.

Melbourne girls do you think that we should meet up once a month?? I think it would be nice if we could. Let me know if you're in for that?

A BIG

to everyone else hope you're all having a lovely Sunday!

**feeb** · September 14th, 2008, 03:54 PM

once a month sounds great to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Anastasia** · September 14th, 2008, 05:02 PM

hi all

Well my day was good. Went to k-mart in Campbellfield, & bought some toys for Jonathan. I wanted to get a play gym as well but didn't have any. I think I have to go to Toy world for that. I saw cute boys outfit for spring/summer I wanted to buy a few, but I think I will wait till November/December so I know exactly wat size to get him?

Mary-Once a month sounds great to me.

Missy- Once a yr catch up sounds good to me, I'm in.

**Missy** · September 14th, 2008, 07:38 PM

Hi all

Well we had a busy weekend in the garden. Have got lots done. The front is looking very cute now with the bay windows that you can see now that we have cut down the tree.

Im so in with the once a year meet up. Just have to think of a place and date/month. Please not winter...I so hate the cold.

Liam is sitting here watching tv too pixie. He is watching the Kindom (not very good for little boys to be watching) but that is what DH is watching and liam is quiet so ill let it be.

Hi everyone else. Hope your weekend has been good.

How did you go today Lindsay with the Wii. Oh sorry that was my DD that was with me. Have you met her before?? Sorry I didnt introduce you. Im so rude...heheh

Ok Im off. Eating chocolate and need my hands to scof it in...lmao

Night all

**Anastasia** · September 14th, 2008, 08:41 PM

Missy- LOL as long as it's not summer I hate summer, if it's Spring that's cool
