WOAH, What a huge Effort Maria, that's AWESOME!!!
I'm so busy at work & growing bigger & bigger, can barely lift Indah anymore & I've still got ages to go!
Yay for Maria, Louise, sounds so cute! How funny are they when they get that determined that nothing's gonna stop them!
Oh dear Trace, that's what happened to me! I had people saying Oooo not long now when I still had 12 weeks to go! I was huge with Angel, well with all that excess fluid!
Zaccie was norty this morning, while I was feeding Angel he turned on all the elements, oven & grill on my stove. Worst thing though, he touched it & burnt 4 of his little fingers. I wondered why he was screaming at me, oh oh oh, when I went out to the kitchen I totally freaked, my poor little fella. I stood him in the bath & ran the cold water over it for about 1 hour before he stoppped complaining. Oh oh oh I feel so bad for him. & I feel useless, if I had known he was in there while I was feeding, I would have gone & got him out, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr at me. His ok now, sporting some wonderful blisters, but gawd, I dont think I'll ever stop feeling sick over this.
Sorry for the rant.
Oh Stormmmm...your poor little boy !. Dont blame yourself ..these things could happen to us all a million times over!. Mum said she never realised I could reach the middle of the dining table until one day I pulled the cleaning fluid of it!....so I guess they are here to keep suprising us and keep us on our toes. I hope the dentist can do something with your toofie :-)
Soph how are you and the clan feeling today?.
Louise big yay to Maria for walking across the bridge! HOw are your cakes going?.
Trace I cant believe you are over half way through your pregnancy!...how bloody exciting hehe.
Nice day had here...Kaitlyn and I caught up with the girls and bubs from my prenatal group which was really nice. Kaitlyn is going through a hitting stage which is a bit yukky though so she got a few very stern "no's" while we were there...I hate to raise my voice at her but I just wont allowing hitting!. I know she is not doing it to be horrible ..it is natural but still arghhhh. But other then that we had a lovely day sitting in one of the girls gorgeous gardens as she and her hubby just bought a new house.
ohhhh ...forgot ...weekend was nice to :-). Went to see a petting zoo and Kaitlyn patted a little baby Chicken and a duckling which was so cute. And I nearly got another cat!!...I am so tempted when I see little animals that need a hand in life :-(..but I dont want to upset my current little pussycat....oh what to do !.
anyway ..enough blabbing heheheh...Hi ya everyone else!!!!
Ohhhhh Storm poor little Zaccie. I so hope his little fingers are feeling better now. Dont be too hard on yourself..accidents do happen and we cant be everywhere at once. I am so thankful that we put up a gate though to the kitchen or my little monkey would be doing the same sorts of things arrrgh...its not as if they hurt themselves enough !
Cass its lovely you want to take everything in..you do have a big heart. I bet little Kaitlyn loved the little duckings and chicken. We have four little ducklings and they are 2 weeks old..they are just the sweetest little things...Sammy is forever wanting to 'cudd duck" (cuddle duck)
Oh wow Trace..its so funny how you seem to get bigger earlier on each pregnancy isnt it...it must be so lovely for you though. When do you go on maternity leave?
Wow Louise..isnt Maria clever walking the Sydney Harbour Bridge...that must have fun for you.
Soph hope you and the kidlets are feeling better.
Had a lovely day at uni today. Sammy stayed home with Daddy. Looking forward to having some nice time with Darren tonight as he was working all weekend.
Jo
thanks for all the well wishes guys...slowly getting there!
typing one handed with ned on my lap......
Storm - hope zac is ok, don't feel bad. You are only human and these things happen to us all.
Jo - did you have some nice Darren time? Sounds like uni is going sp well - well done.
Cass - another cat? why not I say!
Trace - grow belly grow! Betcha Zyon is a big boy.
Louise - ohhh how cute maria walking the bridge! hope you got some snaps.
Off to PG in a sec. Lucie is going to start seeing a speech therapist soon too. Rugrat refyses to say anything but understands heaps. Ned had vacs yesterday - he's 6 months tomorrow :dance: Not crawling yet though like Lucie was,.....maybe he'll talk before she does! DH is away in Sydney for a conference tomorrow til Friday. How will i cope :( ?
Oh JO your kids are so lucky!!! they are living my dream childhood...full of little furry friends!. I am a HUGE animal lover ...huge! enjoy your time with Darren I know what it is like to miss our men!.
Soph I am sure it is ok that Lucie doesnt say much isnt it?. Kaitlyn is not much of a chatter ..she only has a handful of clear words - More , shoe , mummy, daddy, Car, Nanny, Cereal, Banana ( nannnnaaaa) , Deanna ( her cabage Patch doll) and the rest are ones we know what they are but no one else would . ...is that ok ?...oh I hope so !.
Well just another day working away here heheh. Kaitlyn is home with Daddy today but is a bit of a handful as I think she is coming down with something poor muffet :-(
Have decided that if the little pussy cat has still not found a home on Friday then she is coming home with us as she is meant to be ours. So sad as it says she is shy and is the kind of cat that really needs to find her "forever" home....man makes me sad as some animals just get disgarded!. I know sometimes you have to give up a pet for reasons out of your control....I just never could!. When we bought our first unit I actually didnt buy another one I liked as they would not allow my pussy cats...no Boys ( both cats were boys) then no me ! ...Anyway ..time will tell !....watch this space :-)
Hope all you lovely ladies are having a nice day !.
Go the cat Cass!!!! Re Lucie's speech, she only will say 'mum mum mum' when pushed. She points to everything and speaks gibberish but it isn't proper words. Mostly she says 'daaas' and points, I think that is 'what's that?' but wn't repeat anything. Speechy is free and right accross the road from home so i'd be crazy really not to take her.
Hi girls
Soph glad you guys are slowly on the mend. Sammy speaks alot of gibberish as well...he is putting two words together sometimes but really Im sure only we can understand him...some things are crystal clear..like he suprised me so much the other day saying 'other side' for other boobie(lmao) but then some words I have no clue what he is saying so he has to gesture lol. Im sure they all get there in their own time. But like you say...having a speechy just across the road...what a bonus for you!
Cass I bet that pussycat comes to live with you!!! I love animals too..I heard a really sad story about a pet pig that got eaten the other day and its been on my mind ever since...sigh.
Gone and picked up heaps of bargains from the shops today..lots of summer things for the girls. Gotta love bargains!
Hope everyone else is having a nice day.
Jo
Jo - Ahhhh what a good booby boy Sammy is! Wow you are doing so well to still be feeding him, my hat goes off to you. Well done on the bargains too. I was just at K-mart and got Lucie a Wiggles hat, another sunhat (we seem to forver lose them!) and some pink sandals all for $5.40. Bargain!!!!
Brooke - Sounds like you are doing a great job mummy of 2! Can't wait to see some pics of the little guy. And don't stress too much about him getting sick. That dose of BM and EBM will add a kick to his already heightened immune system and he should be ok. Ned only got a bit of a runny nose the last week when Lucie and I have been REALLY sick. You're doing a fine job! Enjoy!
Has anyone heard from Fletch - got an email from her and something about Zane and hospital for burns???? :pray: all is ok
OH s**T I hope Zane is ok ...oh god.
Soph I agree with you ...always best to have it checked out. OH MY GOD..Ned is 6months today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! happy bday big boy!
BROOKE YAY! Have been hunting for a post from you hehehe ..even visited the Pregnancy buddies thread in the hunt for an update. Glad everything is going so well ..cant wait to hear heaps more on your new clan of 4!. Glad to hear BF went well in the hospital ...hope I can get the hang of it next time :-)
My poor little princess is a little under the weather with a cough today ..hope she still has a good day at daycare .
Bye ladies.....
Oh Brooke honey, yeap you are havibng a bad day. There are bad days and good days and you WILL get through this. Just do what you have to do to get through. If that means that Charlotte spends the arvo in front of ABC kids with a bottle and plate of snacks then so be it. You need to try and look after yourself a bit. Don't worry about the EBM, the formula is always there. That's no biggy. If Charlotte won't sleep then don't stress like crazy today agonising about it. If she is sick, try some panadol maybe and that might calm her down and make her feel a bit better so she can have a sleep. Breath and take just 2 minutes and sit down and have a big glass of water and something to eat (even just a piece of toast). If you don't look after yourself, you can't look after your kids. You WILL be ok. Thinking of you.
Cass - Hope Kaitlyn is better soon.
DH is away till Friday in Syndey :(
Awww Brooke you are having a bad day..its ok we all have them. You just have to do what you can to get through the day. Please take it easy and try to rest up...it does take a while to recover and the last things the kids need is for you to not be well or stressed out. Its normal to feel overwhlemed ok..just breathe and believe in yourself. Pooey to your Dh throwing out your milk...but its ok..dont be hard on yourself..little Charli is testimony to what a great mummy you are.
Soph thinking of you ..bugger about your hubby being away..its always that bit harder isnt it. Is there a playgroup you have been to today? How did the speechy go?? Was that yesterday??
Cass hope Kaitlyn is feeling ok and having fun at daycare!
Fletchie hope little Zaney is ok..i read about it in your preggo journal i think..poor little man.
Storm hope you and the chilluns are having a lovely day.
Well Sammy and I have been at a fun alternative playgroup today..its brilliant..takes on some steiner and reggio emilio philosophies...Sammy had a ball...if it all goes well..he will be going to kindy there too.
Well must get some work done
Jo
Awwww, Brooke, relax, Charli might be feeling a bit put out atm maybe a bit jealous, I sure know Zaccie was! Just go with the flow, chill & relax, don't worry if she won't sleep, throw them both in bed with you & see if that works, that's what I ended up doing the mine.
You're a great mummy, & I'm sure Charli just needs to adjust.big hugs for ya!!
Hope Zane is OK Fletch
Haven't read back much, sorry.It's been chaos here, Angel has decided that she can't feed properly anymore.The teats are collapsing on her, she's been screaming for food but can't get any out of the bottle, so I've done a whole big change & went out & brought an avent bottle, well, wow, now she can feed, but she drinks that fast some milk runs out the side of her mouth! I don't know what happened today, but she drank 250mls in 3 mins, had a burp & went to sleep for 5 hours.Very strange for her!
Zaccie's fingers are OK too! Poor fella.
Ohhh busy but wanted to jump on and send big hugs to Brooke. This is just one day in your life.....just do what you need to do to get through it . I know I cant really give as good advice as the other girls as I only have one munchkin but I am still thinking of you and sending Charli SLEEP VIBES!
Fletch - Don't worry about the email at all! Just hope that Zane is ok. IKWYM about DHs not really thinking, guess it just must be males grrrrrr.
Hi Cass!
Storm - How is Angel going now with the bottles? Costs a fortune I reckon trying to find the 'right' one!
Jo - Speechy isn't until 19 April - first available appt which is pretty soon apparently! Your PG sounds great.
DH back this arvo :dance: Just been in Emergency with Lucie. She fell backwards off the trampoline at PG. Thought she was concussed 'cos she didn't cry and was a bit quite. So far so good, just gotta keep an eye on her.
I think us August girls have hijacked this thread!
I think I need to keep Maria in cotton wool, all the August babies are in the wars.
Oh No Soph, not Lucie too!
Gee what is it with our bubba's getting hurt this month? Hope she is all well.
Angel is going great with the new bottles, although she tends to make a bit of a mess of herself, dripping & slurping milk out of the corner if her mouth noice! (NOT)
Oh Brooke, Charli too? Hope she is OK too! Men, yeah, they are pretty useless at times huh? How hard is it to see through the eyes of a toddler? Mine is just as bad rofl!
Sending lots of cotton wool to Maria for you Louise!
nup, Marias going into cotton wool.
LOL cotton wool - yes please!
Lucie is all ok.
Brooke - so funny you say that about thinking you're busy with one, soooooo true (sorry Fletch, Rae etc, trying not to scare you!). Imagine what we'll say when (if :rolleyes: ) we have 3!!!! Hope Charli is ok and my DH does EXACTLY the same thing with the stairs. Lucie is v confident going up and down but still she could fall.
Storm - glad Angel is feeding well.
DH back at 4.30 :dance:
Yay for you Soph, bet you've missed him!
Brooke, I just went back & read your post, did I read right when it said you are BF Lucas??????????????????????????
My babies (well were both OK this morning) are not bandaged, Indah did have a black eye last wk where she wlaked into a swing with an older kid on it!? Ooops!
Indah will NEVER hurt herself in MR Overprotective Daddy's care!!! Seriously he panic's over EVERYTHING!
I added a new beer gut shot to my site! Man i need to diet LOL...
Fletch PMSL at Zane being loved up & drunk... hee hee so cute!
Brooke, Your doing a amrvellous job even if your sitting around while the house is being pulled apart around you, WHO CARES... I am expecting total chaos when Zyon arrives, The destroyer, temper tnatrumer (oooh, I mean Indah) will keep me on m,y toes let alone a total dependent little bubba, but YKW, I dont care, I am so looking forward to the chaos!! hee hee so Your doing marvellously & WTG on expressing for Lucas...
Storm, Hope Zac & Angel & the big kids are all doing really well, sounds like Angel is retreating to her Ellie namesake again being a piggy with her milk!!! LOL
Jo, how's your gorgeous crew, I hope they are all out of the wars too...
Louise how does Maria like her cottonwool all in one... LOL... hee hee
Cass, How are you my friend????
13wks of work to go.... Indah started with her new carer today & when I left she had just settled & stopped cfrying & as soon as I arrived at work I called & she was playing in the sand & I called again a few hours later & she was colouring in!!! Happy as, so i am glad it is all OK...
So tired & got a hectic w/end on... Oh well... It will be an early night 2night no doubt!!!
Awwww Trace, that's a beautiful tummy!!
Love the girls bunks too.
hi Girls
Anyone want another 18mth old, free to good home, god shes gone feral.
Buy 2 get 1 free? Mine wont sleep, been up since 8am & still going, only continuously screaming, Ahhhh HELP!!!
**ETA** Ah Trace, so glad she was born Xmas, I'd hate it if she was called Ellie now LMAO. Ellie the Elephant would be oh so true!
Oh Fletch...so glad Zane is ok ..man that is horrible!. ..scares me how quickly these things can happen hey!. Need some cotton wool here as well please!
Soph...poor Lucie ( typing to many of these poor bubba posts :-( ). I hope she is all 100% today and you are enjoying having your DH home.
Brooke you sound like you are doing a fab job handling two! That is so scary about the stairs. I am lucky in that sense as DH is really good at watching Kaitlyn ...it is other people I dont trust!.
Trace I hear ya on the chaos...I love being busy ...cant wait to have a whole brood (sp?) to care for !. Love your belly pic ..you look great!.
Had a nice weekend so far. Kaitlyn and I went over to see my mum today as she was not feeling well . So made her some Vege soup and banana bread - plus picked her up some stuff from the shops then hung out there for a while. voted...yup that is about it !boring hey :-)
Tomorrow DH is working again but in the afternoon we have to go to the ILs as it is MILs bday ..blargh.
Kaitlyn is like all the other kids and getting extra adventureus which is so scary. Loves to climb on ANYTHING.
I hear you on the climbing Cass, I think Zac was a monkey in a previous life! He is terrible, always has bruises on his shins knees & hips from climbing. On Friday he climbed the side gate , he nearly escaped the yard!
How is everybody this morning?
We had 7 baby huntsmen spiders on my bedroom roof lastnight, yuck, I wonder how many more are gonna find their way in? & what if mummy comes in too? We have alot of the buggars coming in, I'm terrified of spiders. Once when Amy was a baby, I went to get her out of the capsule & there was one on her face, it covered her whole head! Yeeeeek, I screamed a lovely old man came & got it for me. Poor Amy, mummy abandoned her, LOL.
Hello lovely ladies.
OMG Storm at Amy and the spider. I would have TOTALLY freaked too. Yucko. OMG that has spun me out and nowthat's all i can think about!
Cass - Mmmm voting...boring. Hope your mum is better. Lucie is another monkey with no fear!
Ok lost on the posts and Lucie is just gong feral bbl............
ohhhhh Stormmmmmm...my god I dont know what I would have done!. I am PETRIFIED of spiders..rather see a snake!.
Soph I live your new ticker photo!...ned is such a beautiful chubba bubba!....And lucie your little petite girl..! looks like you have ballarina and a footballer heheheh how wonderful!
Well quiet one here today ...Kaitlyn is at the tail end of a horrible Mucus take over so we have been relaxing at home pretty much all weekend. Might venture to the park down the block if the heavens dont open up soon. HOpefully she gets some sleep tonight though as she was up from midnight -3am this morning arghhhhh...help! ..
Ok better run ...cleanup pick up thingo day tomorrow so I want to put some junk out.
Hope you found your shoes Louise.
Hope all you lovely ladies are having a nice day!
Hi Cass! Rainy here too so inside day. Hope Kaitlyn is ok. It's a horrible cold going around atm. Ned isn't a boof head - just below average for weight but 90th percentile for height. I think I'm destined to have skinny kids lol!
Ned and Lucie are playing so well together today. So cute. The little man will be crawling soon, although he is sooooooooooo good at rolling and soinning himself around to wherever he needs to go he might just be too lazy!
Cass - no luck in finding the shoes, but the Burwood store gave me the head office number to see if they can find them nationally. Is Kaitlyn any better?
Soph - Ned can't be nearly crawling it feels as if he was only born last week.
Well I had a mixed day, Maria was a lovely little girl this morning, slept in for mummy, ate everything given to her, only problem was she was only wearing a nappy. She doesn't want to wear any clothes and twice this afternoon she had taken of the nappy as well and was sitting in the shower playing with her ducks, lots of tears here trying to get clothes on her to go to the shops.
Hi Ya ladies,
Soph Ned and Lucie sound so cute playing together!. Must be the most amazing thing to watch your children play together..cant wait!.
Brooke I hear you on the spiders........ewwwwwwwww.
Sorry you had no luck with the shoes. Kaitlyn is still coughing a bit this afternoon and is a little congested but I am really glad I did not go to the Drs and get antibiotics as she seems to be recovering on her own .
Kaitlyn and I had such a nice quiet day today!. Wandered down to the park then walked all the way home ( about 25mins Kaitlyn speed ) and she picked flowers , we blew the fair dust flowers( the little white fluffy ball things) , chatted about birds , Waved to a bus drived who waved back!!!!!! and just generally enjoyed ourselves...a truely simple pleasure!
Oh no Fletch!! I'll pray for ya! hehe not like you can stay away from him huh? Hope he is all better in the morning.
Sorry for scaring you Brooke, but FMD there are 4 more tonight, where am I gonna sleep, I will not sleep anywhere near a spider, let alone baby ones who prob don't know any better than to crawl on me in the night.
If you ladies dont hear from me again you'll know I had heart failure.LOL
This has got to be some kind of curse, I swear, Mummy turned up this morning, in my nappy bag, no body was around to help me either, so the bag & contents are scattered over the back pergola. charming.
Fletchie, how is Zane this morning?
OMg I am itching & feelinbg repulsed by the spiders! I get DH to spray all outside of the house every few months to prevent the suckers coming in... It's supposed to last for 6 months but I want to be safer than sorry!
Fletch I hope Zane is getting better!
Ok just quickly wnated to let you all know I am still around!!!!
Arrrgggggh Storm how awful! I hate spiders...shudder at the sight of them.....ewwww gosh..hope thats the end of them though..horrible things.
Fletch so sorry to hear little Zane is sick. Hope he feels better today..poor darling and my fingers are crossed that you dont get it. I had food poisoning when I was pregnant with Sammy and it was the most undignified thing having to run off to the loo wery few minutes with a big pregnant belly lol.
Cass your day sounds gorgeous. Bet Kaitlyn loved having such a nice time with you. It really is about the simple things isnt it.
Trace how are you and the girls going. Is little Zyon kicking like mad now?
Louise I hear ya on the clothes...Sammy is so adamant about not getting changed now..just wants to stay in the clothes hes in all the time lol..must be an age thing.
Well we had a lovely day yesterday. We took Sammy on the bus. He thoughtit was just brilliant. He loves anything big truck, tractor, bus, etc so little boy boy that he is. So went on a bus trip to get lunch, then caught another one back again. We had a family do last night for my brothers birthday which was nice and i finished my assignment thank goodness...i forget how much time they take lol.
Have a nice day everybody...Sammy and I are planning on doing some painting on paper outside. Oh btw has anyone else's child freaked with finger paint?? We did that a few weeks ago and Sammy hated it..little anal annie didnt like it on his hands at all!
Jo
Oh gosh Storm, more spiders??? Maybe I'll send you some of the yuckly flies from here and they can eat them instead of you lol. I hear ya on the clothes too, I struggle with nappy changes big time as well as clothes.
Jo - Good work on the assignment. Anything interesting? I haven't tried finger painting with Lucie but great idea, will try this weekend!
Louise - What happened with the shoes? I must have missed all that?
Fletch - Sending no spew and no runny pooh vibes to Zane and to you (wow a poem lol!)
Trace - Yay Zyon will be here soon. How exciting! Checked out your website the other day. Beautiful belly and love Maddys pink streaks!
Cass - Oh your walk sounds lovely. So beautiful when you do stuff like that and forget everything else for a while and see things through bubba's eyes I reckon. They are all so innocent.
Brooke - How are you going mummy of 2?????
Been to PG this am and we all had a ball. Lucie fell asleep on teh way back in the pram as usual (she gets soooo knackered) so I was carrying her upstairs to bed when we got home. I love when they are asleep like that and you pick them up and they put their arms around your neck and just collapse in your arms. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.
Awww Soph, I love that too! Makes your heart melt!
Only been 2 more spiders, maybe the rest of the nest decided to go outside. I walk around "hunting" them now, Been to bunnings & got some spray, so hopefully there will be no more, ever!!
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Man oh man I HATE SPIDERS STORM!!!!!!. I so hope you dont have anymore!.
Sammy sounds so cute not wanting to get his hands dirty hehe. Congrads on finishing your assignments..used to hate that part about uni argh!.
Fletch I hope the Gastro leaves you all soon ..it is a HORRID thing to have . How is Zanes hand going?.
Soph I agree it is sooo nice when they wrap their arms around you and continue to sleep ...the simple joys of parenthood hey!.
Hiya to everyone else...quiet in here these days isnt it!.
Nothing exciting to report here...Kaitlyn is still chatting away ...loves to tell the dog to "sit"...also doing actions to all the usual nursery rhymes ..round and round the garden / Heads and shoulders knees and toes..ect ect. Such a great age . Thankfully ( I bet I jinx myself now) Kaitlyn is not having issues dressing..although she has one cute summer top she can get off and does! so I just dont bother dressing her in it now! hehe
Oh No Fletch!! Hope you & Zane are feeling better now!!
Ah Cass, Zac managaes to strip himself all the time, if he doesn't have shorts on he takes his nappy off too. Bugger, but cute.How cute is kaitlyn doing the actions so gorgeous.
Jo? How's uni going Mate? keeping you busy?
Hi Soph!!
Hi to everybody else, where ever you are all hiding!
