Hi all
just a quick one from me will catch up a lil more later
Summy has cut another tooth she got one of her "vampire" teeth hehe same as Tahnie she is a lil happier but has a bit of a snotty nose from this change in weather.
found her up to her elbows in toilet today nice...... she is going 100 miles an hour all the time no wonder i am tired lol.
anyway personals later hope you are all well.
Trina
Lovely Trina!
I'm so glad Jesse doesn't like the feel of the lino. Hopefully he'll stay away from the loo for a while!
A friends DD was fascinated with it. Always putting toys & stuff down there! Lol!!
yeah skye she can't keep away from it yuck!!!
so hows the packing going? Bet you're excited.....
Crawling - something to look forward to kehehee sounds like a full time job in itself chasing them around the house.... DJ is getting up and moving himself around, not crawling just moving around with his hands etc. He really lifts himself up alot more now and tries to crawl.....
I worked out this morning that DJ hasn't slept through the night since I have been back at work.. Do you think he is punishing me? *LOL* I think I will take him to the community nurse on Monday afternoon and have a chat because he is waking at 1am then 4am hungry!!!! drives me nuts and he won't eat his solids....I think that is why he is up at those times hungry!!
Jazz learnt something new yesterday. I was going up to her to give her a kiss and she yelled "Argh" and pretended to be scared. Then I did it again, this time there was a slight delay and then she went "Argh" then I did it again, she looked and laughed and then went "Argh" and it became a game.
I think she's also trying to wave.
I forgot to tell you guys that Jesse finally started clapping hands the other day!
Last night he was in the shower with Anth & said Dad!!
Its so cute! He's doing the 'd' sound all the time, but its usually de de de. But then out of the blue he said dad.
Shell Summer hasn't slept through the night for nearly 5 months. She wakes EVERY night at least twice.She eats so much food during the day but still wakes up for a feed or two.
So over this cold weather how crazy is it??
Yeah, Jesse hasn't slept through since he was 10 weeks. Every few weeks now he will only wake once, but its usually at least twice a night.
Hi all. I had a terrible sleep last night. Jazz just wouldn't got to sleep so at 10:15pm I handed her to Matt and told him I had to go to bed so I could get up for work. She was still screaming at 11:45pm so I got up to help. She'd had nurofen about 2 hours earlier, so I gave her panadol and a cuddle then she went to sleep. She screamed in her sleep at 4am which woke me up, then at 6 the cat was playing so I got up to let him out, then at 6:30 Jazz was making noise again so i put the dummy in her mouth and then got up just after 7am!
HI all,
lots to catch up on here!
The course was absolutely fantastic and i learnt so much - just need people to practice on now!!!
MJ hasnt been sleeping through since about 6.5mths, it has been worse this last week as she has a irus, Monday she spiked a temp of 38C and it stayed anywhere from 37.5-38.9 for the next 24hrs... poor little bubba. Her temp is better now, but she is still clingy and whingy and not sleeping well at all.
She has taken to wanting to sleep on me, like on top of my if i am lying donw, or my arm has to be under her... i am sooo tired, there has not been much seep in this house at all. She is awake every 45-60mins :( i hope this passes soon.
Her teeth are moving around too, not sure if they are ready to come up yet, but moving in there and making her uncomfortable, lots of chin and ear rubbing.
Skye - you must be so excited about the move. Did you hear anything back about the bus driver? i would be ropeable
Crawling - she is sooo narly there, i think that this week being unwell has put her back a bit, as she has not wanted to be on the floor, but she is up and moving a bit... more bunny hopping and then collasping again! its funny to watch.
Bath - i bath MJ every night, either in the Tummy tub or now she is having occasional baths in the big bath alone... she loves it, the other night she was in there an hour!!! on her tummy mostly and movig around in it... i put QV in the bath and then she is lathered in sorbablene cream to help prevent ezcema (DSS and my sister suffered with it and she has slight signs behind the creases of her knees)
Trina - the toilet ohhh yuck! im not looking forward to that!!! how are things going at your place?
I would love a copy of the eating plan... its creeping back on, i thinki am eating more as i am sleep depried and my body thinks that it needs to eat for energy...
Prama - have a great trip
Shell and Danni - hope you get a better nights sleep soon... im totally with you though
Bron - how are you going???
Jazmyne lost her first tooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She lost it in her sleep last night & found it on the other side of the room!
I think it must've come out & coz she was asleep she just felt something in her mouth & spat it out. Lol!
I think my dad will be coming down on Monday now to take some stuff. So hopefully the kids beds, swings, trampoline, washing machine & a few other things will go. I'm getting nervy about getting everything done.
I'm going to see how much the carpet cleaner is today. Then again I'm probably better off waiting another week in case the darling children spill something on it.
I've got sooooo much to do in so little time now!
Anth is keeping some of the stuff here like the fridge & lounges & our bed :( I love my bed!
Coz we will be with mum & dad we will have all that stuff & I'll be ble to save my money to get more when we get our own place.
Hi girls
Just read all your posts, will do personals soon.
just a quick update.
we are doing well, so nice to be back w family and poopy getting lots of attention and me a break. he was all right on the flight, just super wriggly the first 4 hrs, my arms were so tired. and he slept the next 4...
sorry to hear the lackof sleep all round. im so exhausted as well.
poopy still commando crawling and rocking on all 4s. mum said she thinks he's going to try to sit as well.. eeekk.
and still NO teeth.
take care all.. xoxxoxo.. will try to do personals later
xoxoxo
Was just reading about bubs hanging around toilets in some of your posts. We always keep our bathroom and toilet doors closed so we wont have to worry about that. We're going to get a child gate and divide the house in half so that Jazz can only be in the section we are in at the time (which will mostly be the lounge at the front of the house.
Hey girls,
Well I am counting down the hours at work coz we are going to the Hunter Valley tonight for the Jazz in the Vines tomorrow - soooo can't wait :) Supposed to be nice weather too YAY So picking up DJ at 4:30 and heading home to pack the car up. I will schedule our departure so that DJ can sleep in the car :)
RE: bubs sleeping through night - it is soooo reassuring to read that I am not the only one suffering, it is really doing my head in..... I just need him to sleep through. Downloaded a cheap routine from Baby Sleep & Colic Resource -Save Our Sleep -Tizzie Hall's Official Website - not the full ones, just an abbreviated one, so I might give that a go. Very similar to his routine anyway, but I need to get back into the habbit of bathing him every night. When he was sick I was just giving him top and toe wash coz I was too afraid of him getting a chill.
Sounds like we are all having sleepless nights eeeeeek
Prama - so good to hear you arrived safely and you are having a chance to get a break :) hope you can get some good sleep while you are away :)
SJ - sorry to hear MJ wasn't well, hope she is better :)
Skye - wow on the lost tooth from Jaz!!!
Danni - hope you have a better night.
Trina - Dj has been the same, at least 2 feeds during night, and I am so exhausted from it. I have been reading at this age, they shouldn't be waking for night feeds anymore so I am going to try and wean him off it and feed him more during the day... ANyway worth a try....I will try anything to get him back to sleeping through the night.
OK girls, better get back to work so I can get out of here on time.
Shell xxxx

Lol, unfortunately we don't have that choice. With older kids there's no guarantee the door would be kept shut & with a 3 year old it's impossible coz she can't open the door & would wet her pants alot more than she does now!
Going to have to invest in a proper gate thingy though coz the entrance to my mum & dad's house is about 20 stairs. Inside the front door.
So something will have to be done to keep Jesse away! It's going to be fun!!
Morning,
Jaz, congratulations on your first tooth!!! how exciting, did the tooth fairy pay a visit? DSS lost his first tooth when he was with us, DH was so happy that he got to share that with him :) It seems so little, but really it is a huge thing.
Re the toddler and baby gates, i am not really keen on them, i am around MJ (and dont have other kiddies to run after) so will try and teach her where to go. It will be hard, but i am a believer that if you make something off limits and then they get through, they are more likely to get into thinkgs that they are not meant to... Other than steps where they can fall and hurt themselves (although ask me when MJ is walking i may change m mind :p )
SKYE - we had about 14 steps in our place in England, Mum had a gate at the top and Mid way down and my sister managed to scale them ebery night!!! use to freak them out I dont know what they ended up doing, i will have to ask.
Shell thanks for the post, soe of it was intertesting, others just isnt for me...
In particular, i think that the dreamfeed is a fantastic idea... i thought it was when they woke semi asleep and need a feed, but reading that you actually go in and feed them when they are asleep to prevent them waking... it might be worth a try. Might ask the question in a new thread...
Have a great weekend girls :) and stay cool, it looks like we are all in for a hot one today - especially you Danni...
It's warm and windy here and a bit overcast. Kind of perfect actually for doing washing!
Jazz went to sleep late again (11pm) but then slept until 7:30 this morning which I was happy about coz it's the weekend so I'm on night time baby duty!
I went to a friends house last night for a painting lesson. I've put a photo of my first painting in my gallery.
Went to the fruit & veg shop today to get heaps of stuff for juicing with my juicer I got a couple of weeks ago, it was so busy there. I also got some paint brushes to start my collection of painting gear.
Going to Ikea soon and then to a friends for dinner.
Yep Danni keeping the door closed would work if only one bub but impossible in my house too. Even if i tell the girls constantly to close the door one always forgets to latch properly.
Skye how cute Jazz losing a tooth they look so cute hey and sound hilarious when they talk.
Yeah its a bugger on the sleep thing Shell, im kinda used to it unfortunately so am coping ok most of the time it does catch up at times you are lucky to have someone to share the load with. Mum is going in under 2 weeks, so not sure how im going to be able to work i really need the cash even though its only a tiny bit im sure i'll work it out though.
SJ i know you did a course but don't know what it was DOH!!! sorry that's bad hey?? how is miss MJ?
Summer's 3rd tooth is right through now and it looks soooooo funny her other "vampire" tooth is going to be next i think so she will have full fangs then hehe she is being a PITA at booby time pulling off and she does this thing where she pushes my boob away with both hands and pulls back with nipple in mouth OUCH!! i swear my nipples are going to touch my belly button by the time she's finished with them lol. And of course my weight loss has left them looking a little deflated..... Paige said they looked all hangey this morning :rofl: gotta love that....
So off for a riding lesson this afternoon, my darling horse and i have been having a slight battle lately, so hopefully we'll get back on track now......
So have a good one ladies xoxox
Jazz is really difficult to get to bed now and has been for over a week. I hate teething. Tonight I just stuck her in the car at about 9pm coz I was sick of her fighting sleep. We went for a drive just to calm her down. About 7 mins into the drive she was out like a light but I drove for a little longer just to be sure.
Hey girls,
Jazz in the Vines was fantastic and DJ had a great time and managed to sleep for a few hours while we were there, which was great. Doni and I both took him up for a dance. I was too worried about him getting burnt so kept putting suncream on DJ that I forgot about me.... Very burnt on my shoulders and chest, not too bad though, but just a lesson there to everyone to also rememmber to put suncream on yourself as well as your babies ;) kehehee
DJ is crawling!!!! Well going backwards and sideways, moves a ltitle forward but not too much. So now I am going out this weekend to baby proof the house!!! So much better now, and won't be long before he is fully crawling. He has been so cheeky this morning and lively :) it is sooooo sweet especially on my day off :) I pulled out his Fisher Price Laugh n Learn table and he loves it!!! He is pulling himself up on it as well, but falls down a few times.... keheheeI got that as a present from work when I left for maternity leave. Today I am doing a big clean-up so much washing to fold but also going to pack up some of his toys and take them over to mums so she has a good selection for when he comes over :)
SJ - yeah good idea might do that..... I just want his routine sorted and back to sleeping thorugh the night, my mum is looking after him for an entire weekend in November (can't wait!!!) we are dropping him off on Friday night and picking him up on Monday. Doni and I are going to Melb for the weekend. Just want DJ sleeping through the night again so it is easier for her.
Trina - you are superwoman in my eyes!!! You have to take care of those girls without any support and I just think you are an amazing mum :) Hope it comes through for you, extra cash always helps that is for sure. Looking forward to that payment from the government in December.
Danni - sorry to hear Jazz isn't doing so well with her teething. How is she going today? DJ has been teething on and off for a while now but no sign of teeth. Mum said to me last night that it doesn't look like it will be long now, but I will believe it when I see the first tooth come through. I don't even look anymore, just wait for a surprise kehehehe
Well girls, I better get stuck into folding and sorting washing.
Chat soon
Shellxxx
Jazz sat by herself yesterday for about 20 mins! She cried when she fell over and I'm still not confident enough to let her sit up unsupported if I'm not in the room. But it was great. I didn't even sit behind her, I went and layed down on the couch.
Hi guys!
Guess what......JESSE'S GOT A TOOTH!!!!!!!!!
He cut his first tooth Sunday night. It was a bad night, but he had none of the teething symptoms, so I didn't give the poor kid panadol or anything.
Been a bit quiet lately. Sorry. I went & saw Anths parents on Friday night & stopped in to see my best mate on the way home. I've known her since I was about 2 & hadn't seen her for nearly 12 months.
So anyway I kidnapped her & she came home with me.
So, yeah, I'm a bit busy with hair dyes, nail polish, fake tan. That sort of stuff, lol!
Hope you are all good.
Thanks Shell, sorry i didn't mean to sound like a bi#@h but you guys that have helpful supportive husbands are very very lucky, sure they may not be perfect but you know what i mean.
Another tooth on the way again here, i wish she would just slow down a little.
Yesterday i had all 3 home from school, Codie with CF complications quite sick almost off to the hossy, Paige with a swollen foot from a bee sting and Tahnie had a really sore neck so saw the chiro..... hmmmm so was a busy day.
back soon
Trina, i cant believe another tooth already... i wish MJ would cut her first, for no other reason than they are really hurting her as they move around... PMSL on Paige's comment on your bb's!!! Kids really have a way of saying things. Hope the girls are feeling better soon... Codie must be a worry at times :( poor thing
The course that i did (thanks for asking :)) was craniosacral therapy... the best way to describe it is its the really light work that Osteos do... very low pressure/manipulation to 'encourage' the body to realign itself - not force it or hurt it into doing what we want it to do. Have got some excellent re****s already, just need some guinea pigs (pity you guys are so far away)
Skye, sounds like you have had a reat time with your GF, really happy for you, things are certainly improving for you:)
MJ is moving forward also, not totally crawling, but will be there soon, she is all over the place and cant be left alone anymore (well until i figure out all the things tht she can get to and move them/make it safer!!!)
Prama - how are things? bet you are having a ball
Sorry gotta go, try and bbl
Do I dare say in case I jinks it...
Jazz fell asleep at 7pm on my lap and I put her in the cot. She's whimmpered once since and I went in to check on her, she was on her tummy, put her head up and looked at me then flopped back down and went back to sleep. It's been an hour! Fingers crossed!
:leap: drugs approved script waiting for hospital pharmacy to fill yaaaaaaay bbl
OMG about bl00dy time Bron!!! :cheer:
:happyforyou:
make sure you let us know how you are going...
:clap: yay bron hope it all goes well
Thanks girls you wouldnt think would be so excited about weeks of drugs and loads of needles would you *L*
Hey Prama how has devali been?
Trina your new horse pics are great he is a beautiful looking horse.
Shell...you are one yummy mummy your pics are amazing too and dj is sooooo cute.AM jelous about the vines we have on the green over here at mudgee so often but have yet to get myself over there.
Skye god luv ya nothing like a girly fix to make you feel good.
Danni yay on Jazz sitting up..WIll thinks he is so clever when he does then something catches his eye and he falls over and laughs he'd rather be on his tummy so he can get around lasy boy *L*
SJ loads of people say they hate training course but sounds like yours was really good..I went to one on Sat too and was soooo inspired I was ready to go back to work on MOnday to put it all in place.*L* Think when we havent used our work brains for a while too its good. Sad thing is that this trainign was on Sat so most of the girls I work with wont go int heir own time...really slack I think it was free it was catered it was amazing to network and be inspired they really missed out.
Hope hubby isnt working too much overtime my dad and brother are both fridgeys so I know what its like.
Got to go his nibs is awake have a great day girls
Bron xx
She woke up at 8:30pm so I had her sitting quietly with me while I watched packed to the rafters. Then at 9:30 I gave her to Matt, got stuff organised for today and went to bed. No idea what time either of them got to bed. She woke up at 5:30 this morning so I had to get up early, but at least I made it to yoga class.:
hi guys.. quick one (AGAIN!)
Bron - that's fantastic news!!! HOORRAYYYYYYY. I'm happy to hear it!!! YAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY
yaay jesse on his tooth!!
Thanks girls, we are doing well. looks like poopy's doing things so much quicker when he has so many ppl around him.
in one week, he's gone from kneeling, to lifting himself up and standing now. he's also waving bye-bye.
BUT still no tooth or sleeping thru the night.
I'm having a good time being back and seeing everyone and poopy having so many ppl around him, he's lapping up all the attention. he had a good time playing w my cousin's grandsons too.
but, the same ppl telling me what i should be doing etc.. at least this time im letting it get to me as much.
bbl.. his lunch on the stove..
Hey girls,
Been so busy sorry for no response..... I was flat out yesterday luckily Doni dropped DJ off at daycare and picked him up for me. I had to swap my days around so I could work yesterday for a big event. I was in at 6:50am and didn't get out of here until 6pm. Doni was great he got up through the night when DJ woke up for a feed, so that was so nice of him.
DJ is good, still attempting to crawl forwards.... He moves a few paces and that is about it.... gets frustrated because he can't move too far. He moves alot sideways and backwards though and still does he is pelvic thrusts when on his back kehehee He is back onto eating his solids (finally!!!!) I spoke to one of the carers at daycare and she said when they are on antibiotics they can lose their tastebuds and solids may taste yucky to them etc. So that is something to keep in mind if your babies go off solids after being on antibiotics ;) Oh and he is starting to stand by himself (as long as he has something to hold onto) for at least 30 seconds. We are always behind him to catch him though.
Prama - OMG what a big development milestone for Poopy :) That is so cute he waving bye-bye awwwwww and kneeling and lifting himself up to stand - WOW!!!! Don't let the advice (you don't want to hear) get to you, just listen to what you want to listen to and enjoy the time out with your family doting over him ;)
Bron - that is super super super news!!!! Thanks for your compliments, I am getting back to my pre-pregnancy body, almost there only 4kg to go!!! The vines were great!!! Loved the jazz, need to get some good jazz music on my ipod!!! How is Will going?
SJ - oh awesome that MJ is moving around too. Don't worry about first tooth DJ' hasn't got his yet either grrrrr and pity we are all so far away coz I would be your guinea pig. I need to see my osteopath, my back is all over the place....
Trina - wow on another tooth!!! sorry to hear about your other kids home from school, Are they feeling better?
Skye - sounds like things are going really well for you :) when is the big move again?
Danni - how is Jazz's sitting going?
Well girls, I better get back to work :) Have a great week :)
Shell xxxx
Woo hoo good day here today Will has two teeth op up over night god love him and my meds are booked to start on Monday the 10th yipeeeee
Things sound real good for you Bron!
Well...Mum & dad are coming down Wednesday & they are taking the girls back with the trailor load, then I'll stay til Friday or Saturday & do the cleaning then head off.
So by the 10th I'll be on the beach!
shell - yaay that DJ is eating his solids again!! has his rash gone away?
he sounds so cute trying to crawl. poopy still commando-ing, doesnt seem to be interested in going on all fours. he's a lazy bugger i think, he commandos and moves 1 leg and drags the other.
So glad dj enjoyed his jazz concert, it must be stimulating for him! how's your sunburn?
yup, i have 4 kilos to go too, that doesnt seem to want to go away!
it's getting a bit scary that's pulling himself on the furniture and his cot. my parents have old style rattan furniture and it's light and low. easy for him to pull himself up but cos it's light it moves at the same time and they have tiled floor... plus the lounge/dining area is huge so he's everywhere, and the other day he was trying to get to the stairs. cant leave him alone for a sec now. and im scared he
s going to fall over his cot, he pulled himself up when he was half awake. it's sort of a cot/portacot so we have to make it really low now.
He's going too fast for me, im SO not ready for him to walk for a few more months yet.
Bron - what a double bonus, or triple with your meds and Will's double tooth emergence!!
skye - not long at all now!!! YAAYY!!
hope to see you at the chrissy nsw catch up..
shell - some of the BB girls are planning to meet up at chrissy
https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-new-post.html
love to everyone xoxoxoxox.
oh shell -thanks, yeah sometimes everyone seems to think they know your child better than you.. ppbbbtttt
better to check on the sleeping cheeky monkey. he's really wearing me out now.
im so exhausted.
Hi all.
I just posted a vid on my face book page of Jesse crawling. Well we've started calling it the caterpiller - its not really crawlng, but not exactly commando crawling either.
Just a warning - Jesse himself is going commando in the vid, you get a full view of his bare backside!! :rofl:
Skye, that's so cute. I think it looks like a frog type thing actually.
Jazz is still not doing what I would call crawling backwards or forwards. She squirms a lot and ends up in strange positions but there is in my opinion no actual deliberate "I'm gonna move to another place" thought.
Lol! I reckon he looks like a frog too. My mate was the one who started referring to him as the caterpiller & it just kinda stuck.
Tonight Jazz said something that sounded a heck of a lot like dada. It was slightly more of a dawadawadawa but that's close enough I think to say that was the first time she said dada...and she was saying it more when Matt was in the room.
Well MJ is crawling for real now!!!
i actually got quite excited, but sad at the same time, my baby is not really a baby anymore
This weekend is going to be spent baby proofing!!!
Prama, sometimes babies dont get past the commndo crawl as there is no need, they are mobile, can get to where they want to and from there just go onto standing and walking (watch out ;)) soounds a bit of a worry with all the pulling up on light furniture, at least there are a few more eyes watchin him there thou.
Long weekend here, we were meant to go away, but DH has to work :( :( :( i just selfishly want some time out with him and MJ... oh well.
at least we have 4 morning where he doesnt have to rush to work, although he is there now.
have a good weekend everyone
