A very Happy Belated Birthday Wade, so sorry I missed it.
Nic yay on making it to full term, you must be so happy even with all the joyous stuff that comes with it.
Congratulations Jess, you are doing wonderfully now, it must feel good to have you head above water and seeing a great future for yourself and your family.
Maya all I can say is big huge *hugs* for you.
Well it's Lockie's birthday on Sunday and we are having some friends over tomorrow, so I'm making him a racecar cake, so hopefully it will turn out. My elbow is heaps better and only gets sore if I over do things. Found out yesterday that our house is on the market and I have a feeling that it will sell, so might be moving in the near future. Ahh well better get back to making the cakes for tomorrow.
Hello to Mel, Ali and Tali.
hugs xoxo

well hello to all
it has been a while - so much so there'd be a few of you who don't know who I am even but I travelled the belly buddy road with a few of the girls and spent a lot more time on here during those days.
Since we got back from our great trip to Canada at Christmas I have been without a computer until recently and way busier than I was when there was only me and DS#1.
it will take me a while to catch up I'm sure but I will certainly be making an attempt to join in again cause I've been doing a lot of reading just not much replying.
I am, however, flat out this weekend so it might be next week before i get really involved.
Nic - I started to reply in your journal the other day but my computer locked and that was it. Congratulations on reaching full term is it now we start encouraging PowPow to make an appearance anytime he likes??? Hey did you give up tupperware completely or just taking a "maternity" break??
Amanda - TTC #5!! All the best with that and I'll be thinking pink vibes for you.
Maya - don't let the study get to you!!!! hope you get your assignment handed in real soon!!
Gotta run - will bbl later for more personals hopefully
Hi to Bath, Rory, Ali, Mel, Julie, Jess and Tali
-
Good morning girls :) Just had a rental inspection but Verity chipped in and we tidied up the house pretty fast and the agent knows we are good tenants so she basically just breezed in, said "wonderful, as usual" and checked all the repairs we have done on the place, said she would get an electrician in to fix some lights and left :) So now i plan to have a nice loooong BB session... and work on my sister's avatar.
Amanda: Oooh a cake! I'm sure it will look wonderful! Don't forget to take a piccy! I was watching Spicks & Specks this week and they were saying that the word "racecar" is a palindrome (spelt the same backwards)... so there you go... some trivia for your older boys!
Rory: you're always welcome, cranky Flynn or not!
Jaspen: Great to see you again... yeah just pick up where you left off... Mel, Tali and Julie (PlonkeeMumma) are new since you were pregnant and they are all lovely girls :) I'll be in and out of here all day...
-
No Jaspen i love doing the tupperware too much i am just taking a break! im actually getting orders together to put through an order this month i can't help myself lol! but glad ive stopped the parties, physically just getting too much for me.
Nixon is sick again..... he screamed the house down last night like he has never done before. neither of us could calm him down he was throwing arms/legs you name it and literally screaming.
at 11, 11.30, 1.30, 2.30 and end up sleeping the rest in ebd with us. DH and i woke thismorning both pushed to either side of the king bed while Nixon was sprwled across ways!
i just want to get him better before bub arrives, he is such hard work at the moment physically. he is trowing tantrums all the time, dropping to the ground when i go to pick him up which makes it very difficult for me, he hasnt eaten properly for 3weeks and lost close to 1kg now.
took him to the docs thismorning and he wants me to bring him back in the morning.
even going to the shops yesterday he cried and carried on the whole time, i know its partially cause he's not well but its just getting very difficult!
Its dh bday today and we were going to go to dinner and SIL mind nixon over night, but thats not happening now, so making him a nice dinner at home. Its called imperial beef and its delicious! gotta go marinate the meat now.
Jaspen how are your boys going anyway?
Jess yay congrats on your first order thats great!!
amanda i look forward to seeing a piccy of Lacuhlans cake! i hope the party goes well.
lots of Oct buddies are having their babies, wondering when will be my turn! ha i'll prob end up with a November baby lol! Nixon was eager to come and he his temprament has always been pretty impatient, so seings this bub is happy to wait i hope his is a calm placid little boy!
i cant wait to see what he looks like and cant imagine that im going to have a big bubby!
there is a link to a guessing comp for those who havent seen, Maya i fixed up your previous guesses LOL!
-
the boys are doing great Nic - thanks. Samuel's walking everywhere (including up the stairs agh!!)and saying a few words - has a temper on him like nothing I've seen in a while and screeches like a banshee. I've always really disliked when babies squeal and screech and now I've been blessed with one of my own LOL!!! serves me right. currently he is just sitting here drinking out of his cup using no hands and being pretty proud of himself. lets just say he's nothing like Benjamin and I'm struggling to make sure Ben consequently isn't always the one in trouble when they fight which they are starting to do alot:rolleyes:
Benjamin is almost 4 now and has grown up so much in the last year. His tolerant nature has meant that he gets treated pretty badly by Samuel who likes to be the boss so I'm trying to work on that at the moment.
-
Nic: I've just entered your guessing competition! What a great idea! LOL I put that you would have PowPow on the 19th just to counterbalance my comment that you would go overdue!
Jaspen: your two boys sound just like mine... starting to fight... usually over food! Niall will just walk up to Wade and steal his sandwich then run away with it! Cheeky little bugger, and feisty too! Very different temperaments. Would love to see some piccys of Samuel :)
-
yeh snatching is my greatest problem too Bath - the first thing I know about the problem is the high pitched squeal combined with "MUMMMMMMM!!!!" Although they are brothers in arms - if Benjamin is sent to sit on his own for a "time out" so to speak Samuel goes straight over and sits down beside him and looks straight at me with a grin on his face as if to say - "I'll stick by him mum - how dare you get cross at him". How come they do some really cute things when you are trying to discipline!!!
Have ten tonne of photos on the camera at the moment (what happens when you have a 1Gb card)I haven't downloaded and have been promising every man and his dog some updates so will try and get to that and get some online at the same time. Remind if you don't see some soon.
added my guess in too Nic - had to go with Benjamins details (and hopefully PowPow has a similar temperement too - ate 4 hrly ,slept all night until he was 18mths, played happily on his own for ages at a time - so not what I was expecting as a first time mum - Samuels making up for it thought LOL!!)
-
Ali - yay on having a nice long, hot shower (you're allowed to have a long one as you missed a few!!! Hope your shopping trip is fun and you get what you want. Let us know what you got.
Rory - how do you concentrate on 40 pages? Being pregnant my mind turned to mush!!!
Julie - how was the trip to Tomato Lakes (funny name!!) with all the kids?
Maya - it was mild the other night, it was 19 at 6am! Bring on this warmer weather. Well done on paying off your starter kit, thats fantastic! I'm sure you look very professional with your clipboard. Did you hand in your assignment?
Nic - congrats on reaching full term! He'll prob be overdue just to make you wait a bit longer. Did dr say what he thought was wrong with Nixon? Hope he gets better soon and you get your bed to yourself tonight. Your dinner for DH sounds delicious, hope he enjoys it and has a great b'day.
Amanda - you are a wizz at cakes, I bet this one will be fantastic. Bugger about the house, hope you don't have to move out too soon.
Bath - your house is very well looked after, I am suprised they still hassle you for inspections. Can't wait to see your sisters av.
Jaspen - welcome back! Your story was like reading mine. Marley is a screacher too. I'm struggling to make sure Ben consequently isn't always the one in trouble when they fight which they are starting to do alot - exactly my problem! Often it isn't Chelsea doing anything wrong, its just Marley screaming for the sake of it!!! Chelsea is very placid and Marley the rough one, she wacked Chelsea on the head with the remote control earlier this week - I was growling at her but she just stared blankly at me. Is it nice to back? What date was Samuel's b'day?
Was supposed to go to a GF for lunch today but cancelled. I was chatting to my other GF in Brisbane for over 3 hours and this morning I woke up with a very sore throat and thought I might have been getting a cold - its fine now, think it might have been all that talking LOL!!! Chelsea was a bit sniffly too so thought we might have a day at home. Great washing day for us Melb girls, windy but warmish outside.
Time for a cuppa and my naughty sticky cinnamon scroll :)
-
oh yes Mel - I so understand - Samuel doesn't even stare blankly though he down right laughs the little bugger :) Sam's birthday was 06/06/06 and is well and truly living up to it!!!!!
Cinnamon scroll - yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
PML Jaspen - my biggest fear was giving birth on that day!!! I had really awful dreams leading up to that date and everyone kept bugging me about it. I didn't sleep a wink that night freaking out about it and any twinge I would panic!!! Stupid really. Scroll was yummy :)
-
Jaspen I'm so sorry I forgot to say hello and welcome back in my last post, sounds like the boys are going well. All my boys fight and then are friends in the next breath too.
Nic I notice as I'm nearly at the end of my pregnancies that the boys misbehave more as they know that you can't do to much, so hopefully he will get over his illness and once you have powpow he will be back to some sort of normalisy (sp).
Bath hope your enjoying you leisurly browse thru BB.
hugs xoxo
-
and to think Mel mine was an elective c/section (was suffering pneumonia and progressivel getting worse) and that was the only day in that week they could fit me in!!!!! :)
No worries Amanda :) Yes I can see my two ganging up on me in the not to distant future - it is so the case of we can fight with each other but don't you dare come down on either of us or we'll stand against you together LOL!!!
-
Hi all, sounds like everyone is good. All good here except i can smell a very pooey baby next to me that i will have to go change - lovely.
I discovered facebook lastnight (yes i know i am very behind the times) so am knackered as i was on it from 7.30pm until 12.50am! So strange seeing all those people from school who i haven't seen for nearly 20 years. I plucked up the courage just to message a girl i'd been good friends with and had a reply which was lovely. can't say i enjoyed school much and i don't think i was a nice person there so won't be contacting many! so glad i've changed (hopefully!).
Went to Tomatoe Lakes yesterday but friend didn't come in the end as one of her boys had a temp and was so clingy, she didn't want to risk passing anything on. i Went anyway as it's only 5 minutes around the corner and is a lovely park with a big lake in the middle that you can walk around then a couple of good play areas. It was lovely weather yesterday so very heavenly.
had playgroup this morning which was nice although Will was so whingey i put him in the pram half way through and he went straight to sleep. which is a bit of a buggr as they normally sleep together when they get home so i have 1 1/2 to 2 hours of peace but not today - just when i could have done with a kip myself! never mind. Poor Oscar got bitten by one the younger boys and it swelled abit - poor chap is in the wars at the mo! Will is emptying the box of 'stored' toys so i can surf on bb and facebook - god i am so sad! Oscar is still asleep but will have to go shopping when he wakes.
Thank crunchie it's friday - i love fridays and then the weekend so i have adult company in the day. tomorrow i think we are going to check out flooring for the house (deep joy with both the kids!) but i'm sure we'll go to a nice park somewhere after.
Mel - forgot to answer your Q about how i see Will's molars - unfortunately about 80% of the time i change his nappies he throws an absolute fit with his head back and mouth open screaming so i get a pretty good look then! i noticed yesterday one had come through on the bottom too so just one more to go for this lot then hopefully a break in the grumps.
Maya - hope you get your assignment done so you can get some well deserved sleep!
Amanda - if you haven't spotted already there is a thread asking for anyone with 4 boys - sorry i'm too thick to do links!
Jaspen/Bath - Will is big on snatching too from Oscar, not sure how to deal with it - i keep giving the stuff back to Oscar but that involves me taking it back off Will which is as bad as snatching so i'm just doing what he does! this parenting lark is such fun!
Hi to Nic, Rory, Ali (probably been in that shower so long now she's wrinkly!) etc - better go and change Sir Stink-alot. Have a great weekend

Wow you girls were busy yesterday, I feel like I have missed heaps.
Hi Jaspen I also have a 060606 baby and she too can live up to that date but for me she came at 2345 I was hoping she could have waited a few mins then she could have been on the 7th ( which is my wedding annivery ) but not to be, there should be a club for all the babies born on that date it would be so funny to see them all get together. I have been told by many of my gemmi friends that they are a very loud bunch and always have to win a fight or you can have very quite and layed back ones who wouldnt hurt a fly and that is why they have the scale symbol I have the bosy one.
well we have to go food shopping now have been putting it off for the last 2 days now the house is very bere so will post later on
have a great weekend

Well ladies I am back from my party and I am happy to announce I sold $972 worth of goods.
-
Hi girls, I hope everyone is well and Happy.
Things here have been busy, I am trying really hard to get throgh an extensive list of things while I am on holidays as I can just see time slipping away from us, and the baby being here before we know it.
Mum and I bought the linen for the cot and some material to make some curtains yesterday which i am really happy about, and we managed to get the curtains for Tori's room 3/4 finished, I just have to hem them now when I have put the rail up. So slowly we are getting the kids rooms in order.
In a little while we are off to visit family in the country for Dh's cousins 1st birthday, so we have a pretty big day as it is about an hour and a half each way.
Jess- Congrats on your party sales that is awesome. What is it exactley that you sell?
Julie- Tomato lake has so many memories for me, I grew up within 15 mins of there from the time I was 5, so have seen lots of development to it. I also remember it well as our interschool cross country was run there every year. And luckily I managed to get out of the shower before I got too wrinkly :p
Jaspen- Great to hear from you, I hope that you really enjoyed your trip- I cant beleive that was nearly a year ago, oh my how time flies.
Nic-I hope Nixon is feeling better soon. Dont worry it will be your turn soon enough to have your baby, unfortunatley they come when they are good and ready.
Amanda- Bummer about having to move, I hope they dont make you do it too close to christmas. What is the rental market like over there, in Perth it is absolutley crazy.
Bath- Have fun working on your sis avatar. I cant wait for mine to go up so everyone can see your brilliant work. WOOHOO Just as I put my post in my Avatar popped up, no more waiting.
Anyway I had better go and get myself organised so we can get on the road, because sitting here is actually getting me nowhere fast.
-
Ali - your av looks brilliant!!!! Another great job by Bath. Glad you managed to get some stuff for the kids rooms, and making the curtains would save you a fortune, I cannot sew to save myself! Enjoy the party today.
Jess - you must be a super sales woman! Well done. Do you get to keep it all? Hope so!
Tali - I forgot Kai was born that date too. Would be funny to see all babies born on that date together. I have a gemini baby and she so lives up the description.
Julie - I will have to try to get Marley to throw a tantrum on the change table LOL!!!! It is dangerous work trying to see their teeth, I've had my fingers crunched a few times so I am bit scared to try again!!
Jaspen - you must have been pretty sick? I bet you didn't give two hoots what date it was lol!
DH has taken Chelsea to the shopping centre (who knows what for???) and Marley is sleeping. I've done all my housework so its time to relax for a little while (until Marley wakes up!). Its such a beautiful day outside, sun shining and not much wind. Might have to head outside later and enjoy it.
Have a great Sunday! :)
-
OMG Ali, I love your Av, you sexy woman.
hugs xoxo
