Sarah
Sarah - I can't find you on Facebook! I have sent you a PM
Good Morning everyone,
I'm so proud of Jack, he just spent his first night in his big bed, and slept through. What a good little boy. I checked on him twice during the night, and he looked so peaceful and comfy.
Anyway that's all I have to report, have a good day everyone. I'm off to the gym, my knee is feeling much better, so very keen for some exercise.
Take care.
Em i have added you.....
Mel Glad to hear jack went well in his big boy bed.....
Have a good day girls
Sarah
Sarah - that's great that your DD's new meds seem to be working. And how cute is Bayleigh, telling you to ssshhh. He's such a little character. How was the show??
Mel - OMG at that woman just driving off, that's unbelievable. I hope that Karma gets her, especially if the police can't find her. And woo hoo for Jack sleeping in a big bed. How did the Hen's night go?
Well, Day 2 at day care is over with. It was awful when I dropped him off, cos he knew that I was going to leave him, so just started clinging & crying. Which of course set me off. I know that it will get easier, and that he's only upset for a little while, but it's the hardest thing I've ever had to do & I hate leaving him, I just miss him heaps. Otherwise, all is quite boring & normal for us. I can't believe it's nearly the end of October though, time to start organising Christmas stuff, scary.
Good Morning ladies :)
I did a huge post lastnight and just as i clicked submit my internet had a hissy fit and i lost it all!! So frustrating especially as i dont seem to be posting much lately. Ah well.
Jan- Hugs to you for being so strong, it must be so hard not wanting to leave your little man and having him get upset. I still have not been away from ethan for more than a couple of hours and i think i would be a blubbering mess if i was! I keep thinking about being away from him when bub is born and i get teary.
Sarah- Glad to hear chloe's medication seems to be working for her, it must make you all feel better, especially chloe. Bayleigh sounds just like ethan, he tells me to shhh too! I was watching tv the other day and it was all quiet and i cracked up laughing at something and ethan said Shhh! It only made me laugh more :lol:
Mel- Huge hugs for you hun, what a terrible and frightening thing to happen. I agree with jan re the karma. Have you heard anything from the police? Glad your knee is feeling better though, how was it after your gym session? How proud you must be of jack, clever little munchkin. Is he still sleeping ok in his bed?
Nicky- How are you feeling hun? Hope the m/s goes away for you soon. I had it all the way through with ethan but it has gone away this time. Fingers crossed it does for you too. How are you enjoying married life? Im looking at putting ethan into a big boy bed at christmas too. I might wait a couple of weeks longer though for all to settle after bubs arriving.
Em- Your gift list for tom sounds like ours! We were only getting him a few things as we got him heaps for his birthday and so did everyone else so we were overloaded big time, but it looks as though christmas may be the same! I can sooo sympathise with you on the plastic balls, we got ethan 200 of them for his birthday, they do sit in a pop up tent type thing but between ethan and my cats they go everywhere!! We have picked out bubs name, it was one of our picks when we were deciding for ethan but ethans middle name didnt go with it so we decided we would use it for our next boy with dh's middle name. I haven't told yet as it is the same name as a little man from this baby buddies group :D
Well just quickly as my tummy is rumbling and im ready for breakfast. We are all good. Though ethan has decided to launch his fantastic sleep routine right out the window :doh: He is also being really fussy with his food. A bit frustrating as im tired already add to that the 3 - 5 times a night wake ups and well im pretty zombie like!! I really hoping he is sleeping through before bubs is born. Day light savings starts here in 8 days so i have decided to perservere with the no routine thing till then, then try and get him into a newish routine then. I have an ultrasound tomorrow, yay, so i will pop up a pic and a belly shot on ethans site tomorrow night, for any one who is interested.
Okay I may BBL ladies hope you all have a nice day :)
Don't have much time, but just quickly, can't wait to see the pics Jess, how exciting...
Hello girls.. Seems to less and less of us in here lately..... We must be all busy with our growing toddlers who seem to be keeping us all on our toes LOL
Jan- Show was good thanks Bayleigh went on his first show ride, I took him on the tea cups.. He laughed for most of the time tho from the look on his face in the pics he didnt look to impressed...
Hugs to you, It is hard leaving them at day care... i used to get more upset then chloe when she was in daycare when she was 2.. But she never got upset She would walk in like she owned the place (had 2 of the carers wrapped round her lil finger) It will get easier in time... Dont remind me about xmas just looked at our laybys and we eed to pay off just under 700 in 7 weeks.. And dats without the Wii Layby :( so dont think we will be getting it this xmas......
Em- Yeah it make sme feel alot better coz now she is doing alot better at school, SHe is actually handing completed pieces of work.. ONly hand in 2 so far THIS YEAR, And she is very proud of herself as her teacher and us are giving her HEAPS of praise....
Arent the boys just lil charactors Bayleigh just cracks me up every day....With the lil things he does.... LOL at ethan telling you to shh when you laughed that would have been soooo cute....
Seems a few of us are hving sleeping issues... Bayleigh had been wakign betwwen 5 and 530 all last week and wasnt going back to sleep but just crying coz he was sooo tired...
Hope you gett it all sorted whe Day light savings starts.... How did the Ultrasound go?????
Well bayleigh is a lil groover...... He swings and grinds his hips in time with the music boops his head and shrugs his shoulders all the same time to any music i started singing Pinks so what the other morning and he just starts dancing its very cute i have abit of footage on my fone so i mite upload it and put it on facebook if i can work it out LOL I tell chris that Bayleigh is going to be a stripper when he grows up LOL
Im all excited i go and see RIHANNA and CHRIS BROWN in concert in 11 sleeps.. Im going with a friend of ours He is in love in RIHANNA and didt have anyone else to go with so i told him i would go with him, Cant wait.. Its in adelaide so i can go there in the arvo and cum home maybe after the concert as its only a 4 hour drive.. but if im too tired i will just stay at CHris' Brother place the night...

Hows everyone going regardign day sleeps??? Bayleigh has goe from 1 sleep back to 2 His mornign sleep he will sleep anywhere from 2 to 3 hours ad his arvo is maybe just an hour if not a lil less.. but that could be coz he has been waking up heaps early...
What about food????? Is everyone just giving what they eat???? Bayleigh eats what we eat most nights.... a couple of nights a week i like to give him just his vegies and pie meat..
Also My dad and step mum are getting married new years eve and im stuck for gift ideas they have got everything.. My dad has been married twice and my step mum onlyt once... I was thinking of getting my step mums 3 daughter and my half brother and half sister and we all put in abit of money and maybe paying for them to stay in a posh motel or something the night after the wedding coz new years eve is also my dads 50th birthday so i know they wont want to leave the party/wedding.. But yeah have any of yoiu girls got any other ideas.....
Well must go
Sarah
Hi ladies
I hope you are all sleeping peacefully right now, Unlike me its midnight and ethan has only been in bed for half an hour!! He hasn't been grumpy or anything just not interested in going to bed :rolleyes:
My ultrasound went really well. My placenta is now completely clear of the cervix so no c-sect here, now just have to wait till he is ready to make an appearance! He has/is growing well and a beautiful strong h/b :D Im a very happy mummy. Sadly though i didnt get any pics from the u/s as i didnt realise i had to ask and when she said all done and gave me a towel she said "when your done you can leave", i asked her if she had any pics for me and she said "no, unless they are requested we dont do it", meanwhile im still laying on the bed, shirt up and gel on belly so i asked if she could do one and she said "no" and left the room!! She didnt even have any one else waiting! Very annoyed about that.
Mel- I will pop up a belly pic tomorrow and i will put the 22wk scans up too. How are you all going?
Sarah- Bayleigh sounds like such a little character. How exciting re the rihanna concert i would love to go! Hope you have a great time.
Its real stormy here, the thunder is sooo loud and its pouring with rain but its so hot and muggy! my legs and ankles are so puffy and fluidy from the heat. Any way i should go, im off for a quick shower and bed before the sun comes up :) luckily i had a sleep with ethan today! Bye all :)
Hey everyone~
Thought I would pop on to show myself and say that we are still alive!! We're doing ok, I am managing to survive and not a lot of sleep. Avaleigh is just running a muck on everyone! She is rearranging furniture, pulling everything out of everywhere, climbing on everything! But she is good :) Just starting crying alot when I leave her and go to work, hopefully thats something she will get over soon. I hate leaving her so upset. She will be going in to daycare soon (going to look at a centre) cause her nanna doesnt want to look after her anymore.
Anyway, better go. Dont have much time to read over post so I hope everyone is well!
Morning Ladies :)
Ah the joys of pregnancy! I woke up an hour and a half ago with a cramp in my hips and haven't been able to get back to sleep!
Veronica, Its great to hear from you. Avaleigh sounds just like ethan! He pulls things out everywhere and tries to rearrange the place too :rolleyes: Hopefully avaleigh wont stay upset to long and will be okay starting daycare. Are you still working the 2 jobs?
Still haven't put any pics up mel! I definately will today :D
Im getting very excited, my sister left qld at 3am friday morning to drive here! They will be arriving roughly sometime sunday afternoon, cant wait. They have also decided to stay here till christmas which is great but they will probably leave boxing day if not before as they have a memorial ceremony thing to go to on the 28th of dec. So unless bub comes late she should be here when he is born :clap: she will be ecstatic about that as she left for qld 3-4 wks before ethan was born and was very upset.
Anyway im going to go have a nice shower before ethan wakes up will pop back later.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
just a wquick one i had to cum in and share
BAYLEIGH has just cut his 5th TOOTH FINALLY
Ok im off now hope you all have a wonderful weekend
Sarah
Yey for Bayleigh!! I bet they pop all over the joint now. Not long now until that concert is it Sarah? Or have I missed it already. I'm going to try and get tickets to the pink concert tomorrow, fingers crossed I can get some, I love her.
Jess, still waiting...... lol. I don't know why you can't find time to do it, lol. Just remember to take it easy hun. Hope the cramps have eased. How are the contractions as well? Hopefully no more bleeding. I still haven't heard what the coppas have done about that girl. To cut a long story short, the incident has only now just been reported onto the system (going to make a complaint about the officer for doing squat). So will see what happens.
Jan, hope childcare is less heartbreaking this week. He will get used to it before you know it. Jack used to cry all the time when I left him at the creache (sp?) while I go to the gym, but after about 5 times he loved it. Now I have trouble making him leave ;) The hens night was great. Very unusual, but my cousin is a little on the different. We were going to have female strippers instead of male, yes, like I said she is strange. But didn't have enough money, so they bought a her girl on girl porn instead. Oh and yes she is marrying a bloke. Strange, very very strange.
V, have been checking out your pics on facebook, love the budgy smugglers, that's a classic shot!! Your looking great as well hun. How is the night shift going? I hope your not over doing it.
Oh I just noticed my new avator, how cool. Thought I'd update it, as we seem to have moved past the baby era. We have now taken down the cot and passed it onto a friend. Was a little sad, but excited about the next stage in being a mummy. Jack is well, he is so smart. He can make all the animal noises on cue, he can do the cow, horse, sheep, rooster, pig (it's so cute), frog, cat, dog and also swiper the fox off dora the explorer, it so cute, he says ohhh mannn!! His ankles are still playing up although we think it might be more from fear now than injury. Will give them another few weeks before getting the tests down. Will see what happens.
We are also thinking about putting Jack in a Maxi Rider like Charlizes. We are going to drive to sydney again for christmas so might wait after that, so he can be a little more reclined for the overnight sleep.
DH is off playing poker tonight, so I just put the kids down and thought about a wine, but dismissed that idea for a bourbon, ummmmm bourbon. I just had one of those afternoons. First it was the toilet rolls in the loo, then DD peeing on her highchair, then on the toilet floor. Then them both into the baby powder. Arhhhh, just thinking about it makes me want to have another.
Anyway, I must be off.
Hope all you quiet mummies are well.
Take care.
Sarah - yay for Bayleigh cutting another tooth. Did it give him much trouble, or did it just sneak up on you? Any signs of any more coming? Haven't got any ideas about presents for your Dad & S/Mum,but putting in some money for a nice hotel room sounds like a good idea.
Jess - how miserable of the woman who did your U/S not to give you a picture. She must be a bit of a moron, cos what Mum wouldn't be wanting a picture. But I'm very glad to hear that it's all going well. I guess your sister will have arrived by now, it's lovely that she's staying for so long.
V - good luck finding a child care place for Avaleigh.
Mel - how's the knee going?
Has anyone seen the new Quit smoking add, with the little kid on his own in a train station or something. I know it's an ad, but it just breaks my heart for the poor little boy, don't know how they got him to react like he does, but he's surely too little to know how to "act" that upset.
Well, I'm procrastinating. I was planning to log on & do some work tonight, but I just can't be bothered. The work stuff is going well, and Liam seems to be settling into day care reasonably well. Today he refused to eat the sultanas & bananas that they offered at morning tea, so he's behaving normally as he doesn't eat these things for me either. Which is a pain, cos how convenient are bananas & sultanas as snack foods.
oh, and it's a bit TMI, but it's been weighing on my mind, but finally, finally AF has returned. So cutting out the night feeds has worked as I hoped, probably helped by me going back to work & having some days where there's been no afternoon milk snacks. Although he's made up for it on the non work days, cheeky monkey.
And , another woo hoo, we've taught him new tricks - he can show us his head, eyes, ears, tongue (a particular favourite :lol:), his belly (although this is sometimes confused with his doodle, something we haven't taught him, he just finds it all by himself :rolleyes: ), and his toes. So now I'm on the hunt for a new set of tricks :)
So that's it for us really, hi to all the lurkers, come back and tell us how you are!
Boys Jan, they are all the same. Whenever Jack's little mate in coverless he is holding it..... Boys.....
My knee is much better, only hurts now when I squat. So I have finally been able to do some exercise on it agian, yey!!
Great news on AF, does that mean you are going to try again soon? Sorry if you have already said so, my memory is shot lately.
Mel - that was a bit of a snap post. We bought a maxi rider AHR for DF's car, so that he can do the day care drop off/pick up as well as me, and I have to say I love it. I was initially not wanting to spend quite so much money, but given that it goes up to 26kgs, it should get plenty of use. And if all goes to plan (well, my plan anyway, DF doesn't quite realise this yet), we'll be needing 2 car seats by the end of next year. The hens day entertainment sounds, well, interesting. And how cute are all Jack's sounds - we still only hear "oof oof" and "ssss". no cows, no ducks, no pigs, no cats etc.
Yeah the Maxi Rider is great hey. My girl loves the arms rests, lol. We bought her's just before Jack moved out of the capsule. So she was in it from about 14-15 months, and loved it. But we did used mum's baby car seat for our trip to sydney last year and not sure to do the same again this year. Her head always seems to tilt forward during a deep sleep, it's o.k. for a short trip but don't think it would be good for her for a long trip. Not sure what to do.....
HI girls,
SOrry haven't been in much.... feeling horrible. M/s worse than with Lachie ( if that's possible).
Not alot going on. Lachie's been running around ike a mad man, and he likes to babble conversations with you. He's got 4 molars now and his eye teeth aren't far off. so I think 12-14 teeth all up? I'm not quite sure as Iam not putting my fingers in his mouth. haha.
How's everyone going with Christmas? Lachie is well and truly sorted, but I haven't even started with anyone else. I don't know when we will get that done, I just don't want to go shopping on my own at the moment.
Anyway, just thought I'd pop in quickly.... Hope everyone's doing well.
xxoo
