Hi everyone
Hope you are all doing well.
Diana has been sick recently. She had conjunctivitis and a fever, but luckily she seems to be over it now. I'm glad she didn't need antibiotics or anything as she refuses to take them.
Wow, lucky bubs getting trampolines for Christmas. I would love to get one for Diana, but alas we don't have a yard, so its not an option. Maybe she can come and visit one of you to play...
Diana is saying a few wo36rds: mama, daddy, mummy, baby, and duck. She understands a lot of what we tell her, e.g. if we tell her to bring her shoes she does, or if we tell her to pass the pall to someone she does. Its very cute.
Tina - hope Mikayla gets better soon. Hope she's better at taking her medicine than Diana is ;)
Sarah - good luck with TTC.
Celsie - congratulations on getting Caeleb to sleep through. :clap: Diana is mostly sleeping through too, but some nights she wakes up (and others she refuses to go to sleep until after midnight :rolleyes:).
Charly - congratulations on your sister's pregnancy. You will no doubt be a great aunty. :D
PP - I love Ashley's dress. Well done on making the time to be so creative with 2 children. I can't manage that with just one...
Hi to everyone else. Will hopefully be back soon.
Hi all
Celsie we had our scan yesterday. Bub was moving around so much it was hard for them to get a clear shot and took a while to get measurements but they said that everything was perfect and bubs is measuring 1 day ahead (which is right by my original calcs) but i'll just stick to 18th now. I was very tempted to find out the sex - mostly because I dont want Matt to be disappointed if its another girl - but he said he really doesnt care and wants it to be a surprise and when she asked if we wanted to know he was very quick to say no!!
Heres a are some pics....

Zofia its great to hear from you. I hope Diana is all better now. Its horrible when they're sick isnt it? I'm pretty lucky with Mikayla because she loves her antibiotics - even to the point that she asks for "more"!!!!
I'd be more than happy for you to come to our place and use the trampoline :D Maybe we can arrange something in the new year. I'd love to see Lewis & Diana again - they both must be all grown up now!!
If only the others lived closer :)
Tina - looks like a boy to me!!! :D
I'm having my scan tomorrow and quietly, I'm terrified. I'm so small. I'm really worried that the baby isn't growing properly. We're not finding out the gender either, but at this stage, I'll just be happy to know the baby is okay. Caeleb flopped down, right on my belly this afternoon. I hope he didn't hurt the baby...
Well... I've had my scan and everything is okay I think... not that they would say if there wasn't. Baby looks a lot like Caeleb (in the face). We got a good look at the "important parts" although we asked her not to say... but I asked on the sly on the way out, so I know what baby is... but I'm keeping it to myself. My little secret. DH doesn't know I asked and he doesn't want to know, so I'm keeping quiet. :shhh:
Thats' good Celsie you must feel relieved. You must be soooo excited to know what you are having, won't you slip up to DH??
You know we are all VERY good at keeping secrets in here BTW..........:excited: !!
Oh Celsie you can tell us!! Go on...... pleeeaaase!!! You reeeeally need someone to tell dont you? :lol: Any pics with "important bits" to share?? Glad to hear everything went well :dance: xx
You girls are too funny!!! :lol:
I can't share in here, because there are people who know me IRL who post on BB, who might read the posts. It wouldn't be right if they knew and DH didn't.
Tina - sorry, they didn't give me any photos of "important bits". Actually, all the photos I've had this time around have been of very poor quality. None of them are particularly clear. Even the video they took is a little iffy.
Caeleb woke up at 5:30am this morning with some sort of "issue". So, we changed his nappy, gave him a bottle, some bonjela and a shot of panadol. He stopped crying and screaming but refused to go back to sleep. So now... it's 10:30am and he's walking around like a bear with a sore head, grumping and groaning because he's tired. The poor Christmas Tree is taking the most punishment from his bad mood... decorations are flying here, there and everywhere. I'm almost at the point of taking it down.
Do your kids have computer envy? The moment I get the laptop out to post on BB, Caeleb will launch an attack on it. Trying to close the lid, press buttons or push it off my lap so he can sit on there. :rolleyes:
Hi girls
Celsie - ashley has more of a computer hatred than envy lol... as soon as i turn to enter the study she cracks it! doesnt matter if i am using the computer or not she hates me in here..... lucky DH is looking at a laptop so i can use it in the playroom while she is playing!!!
Tina - woohoo on your scan! oooh the fun you are all going to have with 2 kidlets! lol
Well ashley is booked into FDC in janurary. the carer is lovely but i am not sure how she will go again... we are trying 2 days this time though. hope it makes a difference!
She has started throwing and hitting.... help! is anyone else having this!
any ong her fascination with her bits!!! whats with that!
Celsie - Lewis also hates it when I'm on the computer, unless I show him photos of himself or go on the Thomas website. I've started keeping his cars close by and giving them to him to distract him. Although he just likes to push his cars across the keyboard then....:wall:
Now, I've picked up some vibes from Tina's scan photo and Celsie's posts and I officially predict 2 boys. (Yes I know I said 3 girls originally but PP proved me wrong on that one :redface:)
lol sorry sarah! lol
Hiya all.. long time no hear. I dont really get to much of a chance to get online these days, Aiden certainly does have something against the computer, seems he can be playing happily, and, as soon as i turn the computer on, he starts playing up, or, pressing buttons on monitor, harddrive, keyboard, so, i sorta have given up on the computer thing now.
I have only read posts on this page, starting off with Lewis loving the trampolines.. Aiden has been in a bouncy castle, just sat while the kids bounced around him, loved it. Getting him a small trampoline for christmas, has a handle bar type set up so he can hold onto it, and bounce. He has started bouncing on our bed, so, i dont imagine it will take to long to get him going on the tramp.
Glad to hear everyone's pregnancy's are going well. Its abit exciting isnt it. We had a check up on Wednesday (at 16weeks) and the Obs confirmed it was a little boy. Its a very deffinate boy to. No mistaking it. Very active as well which was good. Have not been feeling over confident about the success of this pregnancy for some reason, perhaps its cause its #2, and, not having the same novelty or excitment as #1, or, even being able to have the time to focus on being pregnanent this time around, dont know, but, until my scan on Wednesday, just sorta put the whole thing at the back of my mind. Now, seeing my little man kicking up a storm in there, am finaly feeling positive, and starting to prepare for it.
PP - Aiden is throwing, and hitting me, biting me occasionally as well. But, only me, not DH. i think its a testing thing. We tell him to be gentle, throwing is for balls, outside etc. We dont hit blah blah, but, its difficult to reason with them at this stage. The biting i think is generally an attention thing, it seems to be when he's tired, or hungry, just has a need that i have figure out. Hasnt done it for a while now thank god. It may be just a stage she is going thru as she adjusts to not being the centre of attention any more. Good luck with FDC next year..hope she settles in.
Anyway, betta scoot. Aiden seems to have fallen into a half decent routine at the moment, daylight savings has been a god send really. He plays outside with Darren after dinner till about 8pm now. He goes to bed about 9pm, sleeps till 9am, and then back down for a nap from about 2 till 4, so, hopefully, if he keeps that up, I will get more done, and perhaps, just perhaps, able to catch up in here abit more. I have not worried about my belly buddies this time, its a really big group, not as personal, i much preferred the smaller one here.
Take care xx
Hang on a minute, I didn't know you were pregnant again Debbie.
Congratulations :dance: Thats great news and a lovely little playmate for Aiden :D
ok I shall start by saying that I am a complete ningcumpoop! I had typed this long post and for some reason, clicked and closed my internet connection, ah twit!
Anyways! Girls are in bed, DH @ work & even though I really should be 'working' I really wanted to come in here and prove to you that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth (still here Teepee! Promise!! xx) I have been keeping up with reading though.
Soooooo.....
.......Hellooooooo!! :grouphug:
So exciting to hear about all the pregnancies! :cheer: Celsie! Omg!! How are you not going to tell your DH?!?!?!?! I understand you not posting your findings in this thread but um, are you aware we have PM??? :rofl:
Debbie - I completely forgot you were pregnant!! :redface: So exciting!!!! I felt the same the second time around, not so 'pumped' about my pg, more focussed on DD#1 and it felt like my pg flew by so fast that I forgot to savour a few moments due to lack of concentration, lol!
So there seems to be a boy thing happening in here then?? Hehehehehehe
Well, a little update on my little piece of heaven:
DD#2 is a violent little sausage :D and all with a cheeky grin on her face the little rabbit! Oh and hair pulling! Only ever pulls her big sister's and its completely gross when DD#2 comes to me all concerned about the clump of hair she has in her hand :sick: Also into hitting (again with the grin) and just will not listen to "Stop" - it's crazy coz DD#1 would when she was little!! So we have had to resort to cot time on a couple of occasions just to break the cycle. Its only ever for a couple of minutes with her door open - her bedroom is right next to the kitchen (& we have open plan living) so its not completely isolated. However, it seems to do the trick for that little bit of time.
DD#2 is also an obsessive door/drawer closer!! If we are busy in the kitchen, obviously doors are open and within seconds, they're closed!! So mind your head if you're looking into the fridge at that moment! Lol!
Yep, has computer jealously too! Although, only the one in the studio as that is a separate room and she really doesn't like mummy disappearing - its like we are supposed to share each and every molecule of oxygen! :rolleyes: It got to the point of finding it hard to potter with my 'work' so have set up a craft table and cupboard out in the dining/living area so I can pop over to the table every now and then and DD#2 doesn't completely go nuts. Although, that's when she says "Peas (please)" with her arms out for a cuddle, awww, so cute!
DD#2 is trying every word possible these days. Oh and she sings her version of "Twinkle Twinkle" - never the words as such, just the sounds. Here, let me demonstrate:
Twinkle Twinkle little Star Eeee eeeee ahhh ahhhh
How I wonder what you are Owwww ahhhhh owwww ahhhh ahhhh
Up above the world so high Bup bah bah bah bup ai
Like a diamond in the sky Ahhh aiyyyeeeee
Twinkle Twinkle little Star Eeee eeeee ahhh ahhhh
How I wonder what you are Owwww ahhhhh owwww ahhhh ahhhh
:rofl:
I am really loving her age now! I think she thinks that she is the same age as her big sister so tries to do all that her big sister does, lol. Oh and!! This is hilarious!! DD#2 will laugh at anything, anytime, or even for no reason at all!! Sometimes, the little hand even goes up to the mouth while she laughs!! Sometimes, she'll simply start with an over dramatic fake laugh until she is laughing her guts out for real - so so funny! She also loves things on her head - hair pieces, hats, buckets.........
Then there's my first baby almost finished pre-entry gearing up for full time kindy next year, gosh time realllllllly flies! DD#1's social calender makes mine look so lame! Dance on Wednesday, swimming Thursday and kindy Friday! Next year it will be kindy Mon, Tues & Thurs, dance Wednesday and swimming Friday - gordon bennet!!!
Oh and my sister has a cute little podge happening now, hehehe. Gave her a whole heap of the neutral baby clothes the other night. Oh and so special - she has told me she wants me right outside the door when bubba is born so I can come in just after the event and be there with her and have a cuddle *tearing up* Oh I am so excited!!
So, nothing much happening here.....bah hahahahahahaha!!
HOW'S EVERYONE'S CHRISTMAS PREP GOING?!?!?!
We are taking the girls to the Magic Cave next week! Yay!!! DH has really gotten into it this year, its so fun coz usually its me who wants to be all festive and he's like, "meh". He has even bought a couple of outside lights - nothing too fancy but still pretty.
Woah, sorry long post! Just wanted to keep you up to date with our happenings and let you all know I am keeping up to date with you all!! Ok, have a 4year old on my lap who really-eally should be in bed so better go pop her back (oh and DD#2 is singing, lol)
Take care all, chat soon
Mwa!!
Just me, again :D
Had to share :rolleyes: if you haven't already seen my post in the baby gen discussion area..... we're missing a connect 4 piece and cannot find it anywhere :wall: so we are being left with one final explanation.........we shall find it within the week - in DD#2's poo!! :sick:
:wall:
have taken her to dr and she appears completely fine - its just the fact that I decided to pack up the game when I saw a piece of the game in her mouth (which we took out) - it was only in packing up the game that we realised a piece was missing. DD#1 has since informed me that she too was putting pieces in her mouth, grrrrr. I know my eldest is only 4 - I just find myself forgetting this so get cross when she does things after I've informed her not tooooooooooooo :wall: its alright, she is so not to blame, I am :( and DD#2 is half way through cutting 6 teeth at once!!! :o Gordon Bennett!!
On an up note, lol, we've finally gotten around to painting DD#1's wall which in turn has made us decide to do the other 2 walls a complimentary purple (prob close to lavender) to compliment the now green wall - its not as garish as it sounds, lol!! DD#1 slept on her mattress on DD#2's floor last night.......well, eventually slept and now DD#2 in particular is so so grumpy!!
Ah, sorry loves, had to vent, hope you don't mind *blush*. Ok, off to continue my mass Christmas card production, hehehe, as well as cuddles for the little lass.
Mwa!!
Well, I'm never coming over to play connect four at your house Charly! Just kidding :lol: In all seriousness, I hope the missing piece is just under the couch and you won't have to "search" for it... :rolleyes:
DH felt the baby kick for the first time tonight.
Oh dear, sometimes they just have the devil in them don't they? And I know what you men about him laughing at you. Lewis bangs on the TV and when I twell him its naughty he just laughs. If I bring him away he runs back thinking its a great game. How do you discipline them when they do this?
DH also works long hours and I honestly look forward to Tuesdays when i go to work and DH stays at home with him as I need a break so I know how tiring it is when it's just you.
Hopefully today will be a new day and he will be a little angel :D
Hi Girls! im back!!!
probably didnt even miss me (its ok i know you did).
well where to start?
Been missing due to....no excuse really just lazy male genes that dont allow me to do something like communicate regularly.
started work at Anaconda about three weeks ago. its ok nothing brain straining but public interaction is good.
Nate :wall: = small human that can change between angelic and demonic in the blink of an eye and is prone to bouts of greed, agression, love, hugs, kisses, singing, crying, screaming, grunting, dancing, rumaging, throwing, biting, dribbling, love, kisses, and then in the next ten minutes the ability to totaly amaze me with a new feat of independance or ability every day.
cant help but love him:lol:
its amazing to hear how many of you are pregnant. dont you know what causes it yet. thought you might have learnt the first time. lol. would dearly love another myself but just waiting for the right time to come along so to speak.:redface:
lookng forward to christmas. we had to put our christmas tree on the dinning room table and move the chairs away. problem solved except at dinner when i have to get the chairs back out again. have got some great big boxes that im going to wrap up and let him play with so we save some money, that way my present can be bigger.
other than that all is fine and dandy. might go fishing tommorrow after i drop him off at FDC or i might go back to bed. will decide tommorrow.:dance:
till next time ciao
