Hi

Dragonstorm - SOOO glad the dreamfeed is working! I just couldn't believe it when I heard about it, it's the best advice I ever had! And what a nice DH you are not minding about your wife's baby weight, you are worth your weight in gold

Missbanana - How about buyng a plain cake and then buying one of those edible cake toppers like Thomas or Dora, they sell them on ebay. Or buying a cake mix and making a big square cake then cutting out a number 1 and sticking loads of lollies on it! I love making cakes but I'll be hinest they never come out as well as I hope I did a cake decorating course once.

Well we are just off to meet Teepee, Starfish and Lexi'smum at Lollipops, so will hopefully post some photos later.

Hi all!! Gosh - it's like a lifetime between posts for me, sorry skim read as much as I could so please forgive me if I miss you out.....sending cyber hugs to you all!!

Dragonstorm - firstly, YAY on dreamfeeds!! Woohoo!! And secondly re: dtd.....I completely understand your DW's feelings re: body image. It took aaaaaaggggggeeeesss before I'd let even the tiniest bit of light in the room, iykwim. Things just aren't in the right places anymore, and bits sag faaaaarrr lower than what their meant to, hehe (kinda roll 'em up to pack 'em away deal, rofl!) Soooooo, gently and slowly - exactly what you're doing! You sound like such a fab hubby, a real gem the way you're looking after her! Also, with working and family from both guys and girls perspective can be enough to tucker one out that not even a hint of a thought can be given to the bedroom..... Someone suggested a date night? As weird as it can sound to have to schedule such an event in, sometimes that's the only way! Anywhos! Maybe as soon as Nate is down after his 7pm feed is it, before his dream feed, have everything ready for the "date", no fussing, no tidying (I'm a shocker for that! Hehe) take all excuses away from your DW (my DH has learnt that one, hehe) and then with no expectations, have a cuddle Maybe candles? Music? I don't know what is relaxing for you both but could simply be a start?

Btw, you might have a few 'dates' that cuddles are all that happen. If you can date your wife regularly, persistance could pay off for both of you As long as you both stay relaxed and happy that cuddles are just perfect for the time being. Hope those thoughts are ok to share!

Celsie - I know the cafe you're talking about!! Funny too - DH & I were dreaming how great it would be to open up a friendly and inviting play cafe that would cause them to close! Sounds like they're doing a good job on their own! Idiots! Apparently a new public playground (outdoors one) is opening up just outside of the town? They've flattened the one that was there and I saw the other day that all new completely enclosed fencing is now on with childproof gates So hope its a fantastic playground - doesn't solve the issue though when its raining *sigh*
Hope Caeleb is ok now and yay on walking!!

Well I can't believe that I am planning a first birthday party again!! Now who was the first June baby?? Was is Caeleb?? Having so much fun getting bits n bobs for DD's party! Ordered some helium balloons the other day, yay! Kids parties are just so fun!

DD has finally learnt the 'mum' sound which she now uses every time I put her down! Lol! She is so so clingy at the moment as teeth #7 & #8 are starting to introduce themselves. So I'll pop DD down in her massive play pen and she begins to cry, all devastated, saying, "mum, mum, mum" ....awwwwww. Not very helpful when I need to get stuff done around the house, lol! She has also started to double herself over while crying and puts her face on the floor if she is sitting up and is suddenly unhappy about something. I laughed my head off when she first did it! Now trying to train her out of it, lol.

DD loooooves the shower!! Which is so great as I think it was because we didn't give DD#1 enough showers that she now hates water on her face. So its great to have 'baby sister' in the shower with her to show her that it really isn't that bad. Slowly working.....

DH & I have suddenly gone all DIY nuts The girls sandpit is almost finished, we've bought all the gear to repaint DD#1's walls with a feature wall (I ripped old shelving off the other day....good thing we were going to repaint anyways hehe) oh and DH has dug up the front yard all ready to reinvent. Having lots of fun!

Well, best keep moving......painting flowers on canvas blocks for DD's party.....hehe. I know she won't remember one iota but geez I'm having lotsa fun!! Hahaha!

Take care all! So excited as the Happy Birthdays will soon begin rolling in for everyone!

Mwa!!

Yes, Charly, I was thinking the same thing... Time flies so fast, doesn't it?

Well, Diana stood by herself today, without holding on to anything. She has done it before, but she did it for a few moments longer today. She will soon be joining the walkers no doubt... I am looking forward to her starting to walk, but in a way I hope that she doesn't do it too soon, as she looks so cute when she crawls.

Hi,

Charly - Sounds like you have been busy with your DIY. Yes I think Caeleb was the first baby wasn't he?

Missbanana - No I looked in Big W and they didn't have any of those trolleys, I must look in Kmart etc. He is standing unsupported for about 10 seconds at a time now, I hope it won't be long before he walks, I'm excited!!

Poor Lewis he has a massive lump in his gum about half way back at the top and has been so clingy and grumpy the last few days. He was awake 4 times in the night crying and then wouldn't sleep all day. His gum was bruised aswell but I think that has gone today. I hope the tooth comes through soon. Is it common to be getting back teeth when he only has 2 at the bottom, I thought he would get 3&4 first. He has 4 at the top.

I just put a couple of photos on my gallery of when Mikayla, Dianna, Alexis and Lewis met up on Friday. I shall put more on my babies online gallery in the next day or so, so everyone can have a look at them having fun together!

I think Caeleb was born second... I think Charly's DD was first. I just posted first. His birthday is on the 16th.

[Charlyfrog]

DD isn't until the 14th.....I'm sure there was someone before her.....just thought it was Caeleb

oh and clever me...........have no idea how I've done it but had to go have emergency appointment with a chiro today as my back was sooooooooooo tight and painful I could hardly walk and when I stood in front of the mirror flat footed my hip completely sat off to the right!! Looked ridiculous and made me feel ill! So apparently I have possibly over stretched the ligaments in my pelvis - yay me! So might take a couple of weeks to heal but I should feel right in a week or two

happy days

Ok, so when are all those precious FIRST EVER birthdays?!?!?!?! Tell me! Tell me!!

Mwa!!
