Charly so little isnt it! I thought the same holding my sisters 7lb bub! and even DH was like 'omg she is so little'......... I THEN proceeded to remind DH that DD was only 5LB lol... he couldnt even holding a baby so small ... the things time makes us forget!

Well we had a big weekend.

we had a wedding and it was the first wedding we took DD to. she did well. ran around most of the time lol. BUt looked gorgeous in your party dress.

DH is resigning from his job this week and we are looking at new jobs for him atm. He is going to let it coincide with me having #2 for when he stops/has time off. We might move again (probably 2 weeks after #2 is born) but if we have to go sooner will see how far away the new job is and hope there is a hospital in that town! hA

Went to SIL's for father day lunch yesterday and i am so over neagtive people. She has a 4 yr old and a 6 week old. And i caught her and MIL in the bathroom going on about what a dreadful age Ashley is at and how they wouldnt havent anohter baby now (like me )) blah blah blah. And me being me... walked in a nd said... "whats so wrong with ashley" i think this is a beautiful inquistive age.

And they are like- oh at this age they dont understand or listen and are in to everything - 4 years is a much better gap (mean while their son wont let ashley touch any of his toys pushes her, snatches, yells at her)... ashley doesnt do this to anyone but still they insist that its a terrible gap between babies.!

So i was over being there. SIL then went on mokin g--- ' so do you think you will cope, blah blah blah'.. and was like ' of course i will,, we all learn to cope with what we have be given in life'

Why do people try to make everything so negative.... it drive me nuts.

aMakes me hope DH gets a job far far away!.. lol

[MumofLewis]

Oh PP i would love to catch my in laws b*tching about me! They definitely do it so it would be nice to make then squirm!
If they are anything like my in laws then whatever you did would be wrong anyway so who cares. Mine are negative about everyone, yet of course are far from perfect themselves. I wonder if it's anything to do with them being from the same country as mine by any chance, I think its a cultural thing

***Warning - selfish post***

It's confirmed. I am the worst mother in the world. I've been really struggling this past week, especially the last two days. I was voilently ill with morning sickness for most of the day yesterday and I've just got no energy at all today. I can barely look after Caeleb. I could really do with some help. My parents are in Sydney on holiday and DH has just had time off, so there's no chance he can come home. The only other person who knows who lives nearby has a newborn, so there's no-one I can ask.

I sat DS on his potty after lunch and said, "Do you need to do poos?" He nodded. As he was doing that, I thought I'd put on a load of washing, as it's a week behind with me being so ill. I came back in the room just in time to see him upend his potty on the floor. So, I now had poo all over the floor to clean up. Yes, my fault for leaving him unsupervised, but it didn't improve my mood any.

Sorry for the selfish post, I just needed to get that off my chest...

[PinkPalace]

Celsie you are not a monster!!
You are a wonderful mum doing the best you can when preg and feeling rotten!

I am still in total amazement you are potty training!

I ask ashley if she has done 'cacas' and she stares at me like a deer in headlights!

[Charlyfrog]

Celsie you are a fantastic mummy!! Let me know if you think I can help you sweety!! xx

PinkPalace - yes, what is with everything being so negative?!?! My cheeky side loves catching people out, titter titter. I too think this age is so so so fun!! Gosh people need a slap in the head with a wet fish sometimes, imo

[Celsie]

Thanks PP and Charly. DH is only working till 12pm then bringing home a laptop till Friday. Then my parents are home from Sydney and can come over to help.

Oh BTW Sarah, congratulations on the career change.

I've also decided to close the baby bag store, for the meantime anyway, so if you want a cheap baby bag, jump online.

[dragonstorm]

hello there ladies,

now that we have moved on to another page i cant remember who asked these questions....

thanks for the happy fathers day message! DW, DS and i went up to hervey bay for the weekend to visit my mom and dad, and sister and her family. had a great time as usual and ate far too many lolloies and other junk. Nate was hysterical all weekend. his latest trick is this funny looking cheeky monkey grin with eyes closed... sooo cute. hyper all weekend but the family love him sooo they get to look after him and DW and i were supposed to go out but we just went to bed and slept instead. ah a recharge is amazing sometimes.

Darwin. i lived there for about ten years before coming to brissie. loved the people and the best way to make the most of it is to make sure you get out of town occasionaly. the countryside is superb and if you buy a camping trailer you can do it in style. what size house are you after? i will ask a few friends for you if you want.

now who caught their out-laws discussing their child? WOW what right do they have...none. your child is great in your eyes. people are far too quick to pick fault with others. remember the saying " when your pointing a finger at someone, theres three pointing back you". as for coping, parents do what they have to do and we do it well. thats why were parents.

enough about you how about me. still looking for some work, got a few good prospects out at the moment but will really have to pull my finger out very shortly.
been doing a bit of gardening lately so the yard looks like a bomb has hit it. must remember to finish each job before i start a new one. i get too bored too quick. hired a dingo the other day and spent about 6hours on it. had fun. next day i felt like i had done a full body work out.oowwww. could barely pick nate up i was that sore. and the yard is still a mess, but the tree has gone. theres still woodshaving from it when we chopped it up and the supporting blocks are still in middle of the lawn, but the trees gone.

oh well till next time (nearly up to 50 post so i can put piccies up)

dragonstorm!

[Charlyfrog]

Ah Dragonstorm, you're a kak! DH too has been busy in the garden although I know he wishes it was 100 times bigger coz he'd go and have just as much fun! Lol! Awww, Nate sounds like a real character - heart breaker maybe?? Hehehe. Lovely to hear that you had a great father's day and got some good r&r...............been searching everywhere for mine of late and all I keep pulling up is fluff not too worry, great things on the horizon

Celsie - sounds like you're being looked after but if there is anything I can do, PM me!

[Missbanana]

Sorry this hurts my thumb to much... sook I no, but i will be back to cacth up.. xx

[Charlyfrog]

Just thought I'd pop in and see how everyone is doing Seems as though we're all very busy of late, coz I know I have!

All you pg chickadees - how are you holding up?? Thinking of you all, especially as now you also have your first little tykes to tend to. Woah, growing one human while chasing another! That's superheroine stuff!!

PinkPalace - how are you?!?!?!?!?!?! Surely that date is fast looming!

To those I haven't seen around for what seems like a gazillion years! I really hope you're all doing great and are just busy enjoying life, love and your precious moochies!! Mwa!!


I might be MIA over the next little while as exciting things are coming my way - ah wooooohooooooooo!! I have been given a working opportunity so am setting up and weighing up and getting my head around juggling family and a job. Its flexible hours and I look forward to sharing more soon. I haven't worked since having DD#1 so am excited and nervous all at once!! I am very blessed with the fact that I am able to do this because I want to, not have to, iykwim which I thinks keeps it fun......and can count it as me time I guess ! You'll laugh when you find out what I've done, I still am!! But I'm buzzing!! Lol!

I'll pop in as much as I can, I just may not be able to post as much so you might just see a "Mwa!" thrown in here and there! Hehehehe


Anyways, keep posting precious loves!! Take care, chat soon!!

MWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Celsie]

Oh, come on Charly!!! Tell us... PLEASE!!!

[PinkPalace]

yes charly!! tell all!!!

Well update on me... i have about 5-6 weeks to go.
And i have been having the full on BH (have had since 20 weeks) but i thnk as bub is getting bigger they are much more uncomfy.
And had a day hear and there were i have had either brown pink discharge, or yellow mucous iwth red specks. so mmmmmmm will see if this one comes early too!

DD is omg - getting so smart... is anyone else noticing this? She knows how to use her shape sorter and now climbs up on the big couch to sit and back off again without falling.
Babbling away (although i am not sure what she is saying lol).

DH should find out how the 2 jobs he has applied for are going next week. One is 1300km away and the other 700km away. Either move in about 8 weeks or janurary. Unsure just yet!

[Charlyfrog]

hehehe, sorry, you'll have to wait..............coz then if it all turns to jelly and doesn't work for me I can say, "ah, was nothing really" (then Celsie will no doubt hunt me down and bop me in the head on everyone's behalf!!! Ah ahahahaha!)

I know what you mean PinkPalace!! I was amazed to see DD doing the same things with some shape blocks she has for this cute barn, makes noises when you drop the blocks through. DD#1 was not this advanced at this age and yet she really is a smart cookie today! but yes, climbing up and down on anything she possibly can, and to watch her problem solve is fascinating! Oh and she copies in the bath - while I'm washing DD#1, DD#2 will do the same actions rubbing her tummy and now rubbing her head as if to wash her own hair. And gosh, DD#2's character is really coming out! She now fake laughs until she falls into fits of giggles!! Its absolutely hilarious!! The past 2 nights when I've been putting her to bed, I usually hold her and sing to her, which she 'la-la's' along with (soooo cute!) well!! She has spent the whole time laughing!!! I've been doing nothing and she's just laughing her guts out!! So of course, mummy can't stifle her snorts and then it's on! even now, she's supposed to be asleep and she's laughing and chattering etc. Rabbit! Then she reminds me that she is just 15 months by rubbing her weetbix laden breakfast spoon all through her hair or turning her toast plate upside down on her head!

Fingers crossed on your DH's job too - do you have a preference so I know which one to cross my fingers harder for!


Had the one of the bestest phone calls today from my brother interstate!!!!!!!!!! He and his fam are moving over here early next year!!!!!!! Ah wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo!!! I'm so excited!!! Yay yay yay!!

[PinkPalace]

lol charly! dont you love it when they remind you they are still babies! hehe!

I am not sure about preference for the move they both ahve their pros and cons... I guess it will be a matter of seeing what is offered! So just cross them all ! hehe

[MumofLewis]

Hey, where is everyone?? Hope you are all well...

Charly any news on your mysterious job yet??

PP gosh you are so close now, can't wait to hear your news

Miss Banana - Wow I didn't know you were off to Thailand. Hope Dane is eating better. I bet its hard to find food for him that isn't swimming in chillies!

We are fine, took Lewis to the beach on Monday, he loved it. He just wanted to splash in the water the whole time. It's a great beach as it is really long so he can run for ages (and tire himself out ) We are going again on Saturday with this great weather.

I had an interview for a job today, still within the organisation but a different role. It would still be 20 hours a week but only one day in the office and the rest from home which is great! It means my MIL wouldn't be needed to look after Lewis on Wed afternoons anymore. Shame, shame!

Not much other news, Lewis becomes cheekier by the day. He does this look now where he rolls his eyes to the top of his head with his head down and then he laughs at himself doing it. He is still saying one word 'CAR' all day long!

Anyway hope you are all having fun with your little ones....

[PinkPalace]

MoL - your new job sounds great - to be able to work from home

Yes less than 5 weeks to go for me... yawn! lol

Wanna see what i spent all afternoon putting together???

[Celsie]

Which photo is it PP? The playgym? Looks like fun!!!

Great news about the possibility of a new job Sarah!!!

I took Caeleb to get weighed and measured today. First time since he was 10 1/2 months old. He was 11.2 kilos, right smack bang in the 50th percentile. He was 84cm. The lady didn't believe me, so she measured him again. He's in the 95th percentile for his height. I knew he was tall, but WOW!!!

Oh, I had my first pre-natal visit at the hospital with the midwife. Yeah... BOUNTY BAG! Not so yeah! It didn't have a block of chocolate in it... it had... PINEOCLEAN! WTF?!?!? I WANT CHOCOLATE DAMN IT!!! I don't even use disinfectant in my home!!!
