Its good ur gonna be a stay at home mum. i am lucky with my job i have jayda with me anyways.
LMK: glad u seen my other post i thought i was going to be alone lol. i havnt been writing in it cause no one seemed interested.
jess: i know it is hard when parents r split up but for my bro it would be the best thign and for the kids too. all my bro and SIL do is fight and yell at the kids and since they have been split up they have been doing lots with the kids and having fun with them and being nice to them.
Bec: glad ur friend got good news about her foot. we have had jaydas seat changed around for a while. she would scream with it the other way and kick her feet on the end of the seat she is long and hated it.
Girl: how is everything going? how is the sleep going getting any better?

Hi everyone
Well we arrived back last night and we are bothe exhausted, was such a long three days, most of it spent travelling, 3 hrs in car then flight then another 1hr in car, then repeated 2 days later to get home so we are pretty much over travelling atm. The flight up was not good, poor Hamish didnt sleep much the night before we left his top teeth cut through (2 at once) and then he was awake entire car trip so when we arrived at airport he was over tired so it was difficult to get him to sleep, but i finally got him to sleep about 2min before we landed.grr Anyhow it was a long exhausting and emotionally draining few days but i am extremely glad i made the effort and went. It was great to see alot of my family as most of them had not seen Hamish yet but would of been nicer if it was on better circumstances. Hamish was very well behaved at the funeral, i was suprised and very pleased as i was very emotional and thought he may being unsettled etc but overall he was very good. When we arrived last night he was so excited to be home and very very happy when he seen his daddy and sister, he didnt take his eyes off them was going from one to the other it was very cute.
I dont have time for personals now as my house looks like a bomb has hit and while Hamish is asleep i will try and get it in some kind of order. It is getting so much harder to get things done now he is mobile. I will try get back later..
Sassy i know what youare talking about one of those play gym things lol!!!!
Good idea!, I have no idea what to get abbie something girly :-) I have heaps of outside toys so i don't really need them. I did see in kmart a little people princess castly that looks pretty cool and we have heaps of little people stuff. Other then that i have no idea. I wan to buy lachlan one of those springfree trapolines for his birthday cause our net is broken on ours and is so dangerous when they are little.
abb glad your trip was ok, and i am glad that hamish was a good boy at the funeral.
Sass i have no idea what to get Hamish for his birthday. I suppose it really isnt that far away. Its a busy time for us as i have Dp birthday 6 may, dd on 9th May, nephew 10th, mum 23rd may, hamish 29th May and then mine 19th June $$$$$$
Jess - Yeah, I'd never leave our dog with Cameron either, though I'm pretty sure she would never bite him, but she does get a little over-excited so I'm more concerned that she'll accidently scratch or even smother (she likes kisses and cuddles). I've also been bitten my own dog on the mouth when I was about 12yrs old, so I know how dogs can turn when they get older too.
Sassy - Ahh a staffy...my DH wants one of those. I'm more into the soft cuddly dogs though, but I can see my DH pushing for a staffy next dog. Just think though if you get a dog it will need to be walked...so will help with the weight loss journey. DH and I go for a nice long walk every Saturday and Sunday with Cam and our dog (I can't walk our dog around during the week on my own though as there is too many dogs around here loose- i hate that...irresponsible owners...GRRR!)
MisTree - Sorry I meant to mention a few posts back...Welcome back. I'd only just asked how your were going. Yay on the SAHM decision. I bet you'll love it so much you'll never go back (well never want to anyway). Yeah, it's seems like its time to lower the cot and always have the rail up. Cam's also started standing in his cot over the last couple of weeks, though I learnt to put the rail up almost from the beginning (as it takes me a while to get into new habits).
Nikki - It sounds like Abbie will be crawling any day now hey...but I wouldn't be surprised if she is the 1st walker of the bunch, being the late crawler. I think i'd prefer Cameron to walk then crawl, our floors are a little old and rough on his knees.
Well nothing else here to report really. Just waiting for Cameron to wake so I can go weigh him. He is really enjoying his food, we do 3 meals a day, so wouldn't be surprised if he has put on a bit of weight since last time (1month ago he was 7.7kg).
Better go finish getting myself ready then as it's almost time to go before they close - they only do weigh ins on wednesdays from 8.30 to 10.30, I wish they had longer weigh in times at our clinic. Is everyone else's the same???
It's taken me about 30mins to type this as had a few interruptions in between.
That's how long it took to write my post this morning with my interruptions, didn't even realise Sassy, Abb and Nikki had all posted before me - just saw my notifications now.
Sassy - I'm not sure what to get Cameron, but I think DH wants to get him a trike (one with the handle on the back)- he looks at them everytime we are in the toy shop. I can't wait to get him a trampoline though- but will probably wait til his 2nd birthday for that one (he loves bouncing in his jolly jumper and 'play station'). I'm not doing any particular diet - just trying to eat healthy and exercising (which at this stage is only walking around our hilly area and putting a bit of bounce in my housework hehe). I can feel the difference already and my clothes seem to be agreeing.
Abb - Yuk on all that travelling - i hope you's settle back into your normal routine quickly. Glad Hamish was good for you at the funeral, he probably felt from you that he needed to behave there. Ouch on the $$$ for you in May. We are very lucky as Cameron is the only birthday in May (except for a friend of mine, who we don't really go all out for birthday presents anyway). Our busiest months with birthdays is March (DH, Mum and a niece's daughter) and September (mine, brother and my dog oh and MIL -whoops almost forgot).
Got Cameron weighed, he is exactly 8kg. Thought he would've put on a little more, but he must be exercising all that food off with his crawling and climbing.
Oh gotta go, Cameron's woken already (that's not good, only 40mins - he usually goes for at least 1.5hrs).
Hi everyone!
Sorry, I got a bit cross at losing a huge post the other night, but it seems the issue has been resolved for the moment. Anyway, things are going ok here, to a point.
Bec - It probably seems like past history now, but I hope things get resolved with your car, and I still think that other girl was parked illegally by the sounds of it (DP got a ticket for parking the opposite direction in a suburban street once!) but what a drama! Has the dust settled a bit with your mum, DH and you? Don't worry, even without temper and mood issues, we all get a bit irrational at times (my time is now!) and forget to be nice to each other. I think sleep deprivation/interruption plays a big part in it, maybe??
I dont know about weighing at my clinic... never done it except at appoinments. I just know that DS must be at least 10kg now!
Abb - you forgot, my birthday on the 3rd! Glad your trip went well, it must have been very emotional, and I hope it hasn't disrupted your routine too much back at home. I know it was only a few days, but it can be chaotic. It's great that Hamish was well behaved, especially after cutting 2 top teeth! IKWYM about having so much less time now that bubs are everywhere!
Sassy - it's great that you're feeling better after cutting back your hours a bit, and I hope that working the Mondays will still give you enough time to yourself. Hope the extra $$ is worth it. I'd be really hesitant about getting a dog now, as much as I'd like one, but it's mainly coz Aadi would drive any animal mad! He's such a boofhead! 1st birthday? We've already ordered a whole heap of French kids books from overseas. Ummm... hadn't thought about it much. Is that bad?? Still haven't sorted DP's birthday in Feb. Oops!
LMK - How about getting BabyLegs for Abbie's birthday? So her pretty little legs stay pretty while on her crawling adventures?! I think they're gorgeous. Aadi has ones with flames up the legs, but his legs are so chunky it's a bit ridiculous!
Mis - That's fantastic news! Enjoy reconnecting with your little guy. It will be so worth it, for both of you. And now the poor kid's got an ear infection.... gee, he's going to grow up into such a tuffy! I hope some mum-time with him will help him mend. Cuddles are very therapeutic!
I haven't bothered lowering the mattress in the cot here yet, as Aadi just wont sleep in it anymore! Driving me a bit mental?! yeh. I'm working on it, but think maybe it's time I just pulled it out and put it on the floor in his playroom. Nothing to smash his teeth on in there!
Jess - it's great that you're able to make a bit more quality time for you and DP. We wont go anywhere, you can always come back later!! Congrats on winning the tix, how ironic that you'd intended to go there that day also. Didn't your dog have pups just last year?? Or am I remembering something completely wrong? I know my mum reckons she was having puppies, but she's a loony.
Last weekend we went to a friend's place in the afternoon for a few hours. Aadi had a nap there at his usual time, and was ok sleeping on their bed, but he got a bit over-excited and was having too much fun after that, so that when bedtime came around, he wouldn't settle again even tho I put him in pjs and did all the normal bedtime routine there. By the time we got home it was after 10, but we put him straight to bed and everything was fine. Half an hour later, tho, he woke up screaming and sobbing hysterically and wouldn't stop for an hour. It was horrible! He finally calmed down and went back to sleep (after a minor argument between DP and I), but woke a few times thru the night and was up for the day at 6am.... argh! He's really started to fight sleep now (even more than before!!) and will often cry and carry on, kicking and pulling my hair, for half an hour or so before finally giving in and sleeping, even for his day naps. He wont even feed to sleep anymore, which is kind of annoying because that was always the easiest way to get him to relax and sleep if I was really desperate for him to nap! I'd just started working out a plan for helping him to sleep without needing to feed and he goes and stops it all by himself!! Oye...
Apart from that, he's commando crawling all over the house now and pulling himself up to standing a lot too. He wont get off his elbows to crawl, though, so I don't know when or if he'll go back to proper crawling on hands and knees like he did for just a few days. He often pushes up onto his feet though, but his elbows are still down so he ends up on his face with his bum in the air. Silly boy!
We had a bit of excitement this morning, which is probably a bit TMI... but DS did poo on the potty! I've been getting him used to sitting on it lately, with a nappy on, and putting him on it when he wakes up (coz that's when he floods!) so he associates the potty with the sensation of peeing... anyway, it was mostly just good timing but I'm proud nonetheless!! Changing stinky nappies is not my favourite thing to do first thing in the morning, so the less I have to do of that the better.
Anyway, I started this post at lunch time, and now it's 8.30... a lot has happened this afternoon and I got interrupted so much, I doubt anything will make sense. Sorry!! It's too hot and my brain is toasted after I went walking and forgot my hat (and Aadi's is too big for me - lol). OK, I'm going to bed now. Sorry, have I forgotten anyone? Girl? Where you at?
Hi all..... wow me cutting down on BB hours is making me fall behind in everyones posts.... hehe
I did a post but by the time i started and finniahed it there were upgrades and it didnt display my post..... typical me didnt save it either....
NaNa- Yeah my dog had puppies just after Tiahna was born..... this will be the last littler she'll have..... i'm having her fixed up.... Hugs on the sleeping issues still..... everytime i think i have DD worked out it changes again and i'm back at the drawing board. it really sucks.... we dont have the best situiation to have a set routine but it would be nice to have some pattern and similar days.... DD is also back to commando crawling..... but maily wanting up (as in standing up) she's loving holing my hands and trying to walk around.... she takes steps to try to get DS its so cute.... but hoping it will be a while before we have walking on her own.....
Bec- YAY on the weigh in.... i'd guess DD would be a bout the same.... she is still very petite to me.... tall but little..... i'm really hoping she gets DP's tall skinny genes.....I'm sure my dog would never bit aswell but you can never be too careful with your kids and dogs i think
Abb- glad things went well... bugger bout the traveling.... i can just imagine hamish seeing DP and DD after few days.... when DP went away DD was non stop staring and smiling, waving laughing.... very cute.... wowo ur going to be busy in may.... you forgot mothers day..... hehe
We have mothers day in may, DP's birthday on 15th then DD's 29th i know there is a few people also in may but cant remember at the mo..... then mine in July. our Bdays arent too bad now we dont see my fam..... we have a wedding in a few weeks and they have asked for cash.... whats the go there..... They have one of those money well things... do we put the cash in there or envelope it what????i guess i should just ask them.....
Well things here are getting better...... DD's tonsilitis has almost cleared up and the oral thrush is almost gone but she developped a weird rash yesterday the GP said it could be from the thrush, could be a viral thing or an allergy.... have to go back tommorow for a check up.... he said her imune system must be low..... She is still fissy when taking her bottle... i need to calm her down and get her to finally suck on it but i'm sure she'll get there..... lately all she wants to do is hold hands and stand up and try to walk. The rash she has is worse on her elbows and knees which i think is from crawling on the carpet. she can get up on all 4s but hasnt since the 1 time....
Mis- YAY on being a sahm..... its great..... i have a month or 2 before make my decicision
pmsl about the other thread how funny
Also i bought a treadmill last night and i really want to start loosing weight. I saw your other posts so maybe we can do it together, well hopefully anyway, good luck and i will let you know how i am going and you do the same.
