Again, PP, you are amazing!! How special *hugs* ......hmmmm, our friends had a similar experience only about a month ago and we joked with them after that they should be careful if they went for a third bubby......they may wake up in the middle of night with a baby in their arms, hehehehehe..... xx

Hello!
Today I was on a cleaning frenzy (you would think I was nesting ... I wish I was!! ) I cleaned out my entire house and have a whole room of stuff to ebay ... that is going to be a huge effort, but we are moving at the end of the year, so I really want to get rid of everything before we move. Hopefully make some extra money for christmas too!

Pink Palace :: Welcome Ethan Cruz, I can't believe you had an unplanned home birth!! That must have been exciting / scary / unbelieveable! I can't wait to hear all about your little boys birth!!

Celsie :: It's such a precious feeling when you see your little one on the screen isn't it! Did you get a print out of his/her picutre? Are you going to find out of its a boy/girl?

teepee2 :: I have thought of the tantrum issues for my wedding and I have come up with the perfect solution ... bribery!!! DH is going to have some sort of sweet at the end of the isle to give to her when she walks down like a good girl!

Knowing my lucky she'll tear down the isle sreaming "GIVE ME MY LOLLLIES". We are moving house in 2 months time - interstate again ugh! - and so the first thing I will be installing is the locks on the drawers and cupboards.

laura133 :: Congratulation on your pregnancy !! I hope you are feeling fabulous and not experienceing too much morning sickness.. Almost half of the member of this thread are pregnant or have had a bubby!! I hope I fall with #3 quickly too!

MumofLewis :: Awwwwww Lewis look soooo cute in his outfit!!! I wish KEnzie would get invite to some parties so we can have an excuse to get dressed in a fairy costume or something .. How cute!!! I am going to start taking her to play group at the beginning of next year so hopefully she'll make some "friends" and be invited along to some parties.

**MumofLewis** · October 9th, 2008, 05:21 AM

Congratulations PP what a hero you are!!!!!!!!! Such a lovely story and little Ethan sounds gorgeous! And fancy DD sleeping through it all!

Serenity - yes I know what you mean about hoping DD gets invited to parties! I think it's just as exciting for us as them!!

We are off to see New McDonalds farm this morning, hope Lewis is even remotely interested!

Ok Charly, times up. Let us know what you have been doing...........

**Starfish** · October 9th, 2008, 08:25 AM

Hi everyone

PP - Congratulation on the birth of Ethan!

Wow, I have noticed that a lot of the ladies here are pregnant or TTC, we have one baby born already and at my place AF hasn't even returned so plans for another bub here... Not really complaining but I sometimes wish I had the option of at least trying for another baby. Oh well, never mind...

I am extremely ****ed off today. I have done a week's worth of work for a person I met online and now that I have completed it she seems to have disappeared without having paid me. So annoyed as I was afraid that something like this might happen, but her emails sounded so sincere and she promised that she would pay... Grrr, so will not be able to pay off my credit card after all. Why am I such a sucker...

Diana is doing well. She is walking and talking (although nothing really coherent yet). She too is climbing furniture and we have our kitchen completely fenced off. She even tries to climb in and out of the bath these days. Fortunately she is still too little, but something tells me this will not be the case for long...

Hi to everyone else.

**Celsie** · October 9th, 2008, 06:06 PM

OMG PP!!! Well done! Just going off to read your birth story!!!

**PinkPalace** · October 9th, 2008, 06:28 PM

just a quicky (sorry selfish post lol).
Well little miss is doing very well with a newbie in the house.
She hasnt had 1 tantrum at all.
Is more intrigued by the baby than anything - wanting to give kisses and pat him lol.

Which is very nice indeed!

Peach · October 9th, 2008, 07:44 PM

PP :: Awww little love! I wonder if Ashley's next word will be baby!

**MumofLewis** · October 12th, 2008, 08:14 PM

Hi,

PP - That's great that Ashley isn't jealous, hope it lasts, you will have your own little helper!

Starfish - Lewis likes to throw anything and everything into the bath but he isn't trying to climb in yet. We have to be so careful now to always keep the door shut. I found a box of Shapes biscuits in there the other day!!

I took Lewis to the beach today, he has been a few times before but today he decided he didn't like the sand! He sat on my knee for 2 hours and whinged if I got any sand on him at all! So weird. It was really soft sand though so maybe that freaked him out a bit. Hope it doesn't last!

He'a also becoming alot more affectionate now and will give me cuddles if I ask him which he never would before! So I'm really enjoying that!

Hope everyone is well.

**Muffy** · October 12th, 2008, 08:21 PM

PP - your birth story is amazing! and thats great to hear about DD!!!!

starfish - that really really sucks, im hoping you catch up with that certain person!!

to you.

mumoflewis - how nice is it gtting cuddles!!! im so happy for you!

big hello to everyone!

**MumofLewis** · October 13th, 2008, 06:35 PM

Quick question......have you noticed that since the bubs have started walking their weight gain has slowed dramatically? I know this happens now they are more active, but Lewis has only put about 300 grams on in 2 months. He was 12.2kg at 13 months and tonight I weighed him and he was 12.4kg with no clothes on.

**dragonstorm** · October 13th, 2008, 10:11 PM

hello ladies

regarding the weight thing, Nate has actually lost weight in the last two months. he now only weights 13.5kg. hes lost .5kg in last 2 months. but hes running now and has become more of a fussy eater. we have started feeding him weetbix at night just because we know hell eat them. two in the morning and one at night(beat that MR Cricket).
other than that hes a handful and loves running at me full speed when im not looking and taking out my knees so we collapse in a heap on the floor. great fun when we go shopping! hes taller than a couple of the two year olds at day care and they all like to lift their shirts up and belly bump each other, but they just bounce off nate because hes too solid.

all you girls who are preggers or ttc, good on you and good luck. we still havent discussed in depth the possibility yet but were not in a rush. i think were lapping up as much sleep as we can.

still looking for a job. im going for an interview tommorrow so heres hoping.

ciao till then

dragonstorm.

**dragonstorm** · October 14th, 2008, 12:51 PM

PP- WOW!

just read your birth epic and showed it to DW and we both agree that your amazing. hope all is well and its good to hear little miss is having fun with ethan.

ciao

**Charlyfrog** · October 14th, 2008, 10:34 PM

Helllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o!!!

How is everyone?!?!?! How are all the pg ladies going?!?!?!? How is your little newbie prince PinkPalace?!?! Oh so many questions, lol!

*deep breath in* okeedokeeeeeeeeee, well then...........oh DD#2 is walking everywhere now! I liken her to looking like an orang-utan - you know, with those dangly arms above their heads. Oh I mean it in a cute way, lol! Except she is trying so hard to run before she can barely walk. We are constantly saying, "go slow, slow down" lol! She is forever crashing on her knees which would be far better if it weren't straight onto cement outside or the tiles inside. Talking about the tiles inside.............

DD#2 is a shocker for standing on the lounge. We are forever popping her on her bottom and saying for her to sit on her bottom. DD#1 was playing with all the pillows that usually sit along the back of the lounge so there wasn't an extra barrier there......the back of our lounge faces the kitchen. I had my back turned for a minute and before I turned DD#2 was laying on her back next to her big sister on the lounge, DH was making dinner. We hear a slap noise and then DD#2 did the most horrid cry. She had fallen over the back of the lounge head first into the tiles!!!

I felt sick to my stomach. I dropped the phone as I was calling my mum, except I didn't even think to hang up so her answering machine kicked into to hear a child screaming. I later rang back and left a far more reassuring message for mum

Thank the Lord that DD#2 is ok but I still feel sick when I think of it

So she now has a yellow circle on the high part of her forehead but no real lump amazingly. She moved so quickly its scary........I've been keeping her in almost arms reach all the time now, its crazy. Like I said, she is fine now, back to her cheeky, boundary pushing self

I cant believe either that my first baby starts pre-entry kindy next week - now that is crazy!!

So we're going to go on a shopping trip to get a little back pack, lunch box & drink bottle for her, hehehe.

Oh and me? hehehehehehe...........I don't know if you remember me mentioning the fact that I dabble in a bit of scrapbooking? Well....................went to a close friends stamping/scrapbooking workshop at the end of August and fell so madly in love with it all that I thought, darn it! I'm going to do this!! LOL!! So I am now an independent demonstrator for a gorgeous stamping company!!

I have been madly preparing for my first ever workshop which I held just over a week ago and it went so well!! It was so much fun and I'm just so excited that I'll woffle and dribble for ages about it, rofl! I was already looking for job opportunities but didn't want anything that would make me miss out on things with the girls etc and that I could fit around DH's work. I honestly thought that I was going to have to invent myself a job to give me the flexibility that I wanted and needed for my family's sake and then this landed in my lap! I am having so much fun with all my new toys, hehehehehehe! And I can get as busy or not as busy as I like and I decide when I'm going to work - its just brilliant! So sorry I haven't been around as I have had a bit to get my head around! Still wrapping it around stuff but having way too much fun now, lol! I am getting paid to go on playdates with other crafty people, woohoo!!

So that's my little tribe in a nutshell......a rather big nutshell! And gosh its late, I really should be snoozing now. Chat soon lovelies!

Mwa!!

**Charlyfrog** · October 18th, 2008, 07:21 PM

goodness me we must be a busy bunch!

hope everyone is doing well though

MumofLewis - DD#1 hated sand but now would live in the sandpit if she could, lol. Yet DD#2 loves it! Still slightly tentative but giggles her way through her sand pit play time. Each child can be so different, it's crazy! (DD#1 cracks it if you get water on her face, again, DD#2 laughs her head off! )

PinkPalace - how are Ethan & Ashley going?? How are you? Hope you're getting enough rest

Um, does anyone else have a squealer??

good gracious me!! I swear DD#2 could shatter glass! Got home from a workshop today and IL's were babysitting - well the girls see me and oh la la!! MIL was quite embarrassed thinking that I'd be thinking that she had created crazy monkeys while I was out! LOL!! But the girls had gone nuts from the minute they realised mummy was home.........oh and she had a shake from MacDonalds so there was a challenge right there for them to conquer - steal mummy's drink, hehehehe.
DD#2 has picked up how to say no. I shouldn't giggle but oh gosh, she sounds so cute! As it isn't a straight no, its more like a, 'nooooooooooo' but with an ****ney accent, teehee. Her first molars have finally cut through, thank goodness! Seemed to cause no end of grief! Oh and the little rabbit, if you ask her to go somewhere, or you turn her in the right direction away from where you want her to be (ie kitchen) DD#2 shakes her head, all the while walking away, but nattering quite loud in an almost annoyed tone!

I do feel the reigns may need to be somewhat tighter on #2 than #1 as they grow......she is a very strong personality!

Well, hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Take care okeedokee? xx

Mwa!

**Celsie** · October 19th, 2008, 10:12 AM

I didn't even know you had posted the previous post Charly... BB didn't send me a notification. It does get a little quirky sometimes...

The new job sounds wonderful. Huge congratulations for finding something that you love AND that you can make some income from. Well done!!! I wish you all the very best in your new venture. Caeleb too has the "No" word figured out. Although, he shakes his head more than actually saying it thank goodness. Everything is "No!" at the moment. It is sweet hearing words rather than babble.

We're having a shocking time with teething at the moment. Caeleb has spent the past two nights in bed with us. He's still only got four teeth (don't ask me why... my son is strange!), so were expecting a whole heap to pop through at once. His mouth looks all swollen and lumpy inside. No wonder he's so upset, poor little love.

I had some pains in my tummy at 3am the other morning that just wouldn't go away. They were still there and it seemed like they were getting worse at 3pm, so I popped up to the hospital to make sure the baby was okay. Turns out that I have two cysts on my ovaries which are causing me pain. I have to go back for another scan on Tuesday, followed by a doctors visit on Wednesday, but hopefully they'll settle back down and not cause me any further problems.

Hope you're all doing well!
