Jess - Sorry to hear your DP is being a poo head about doing things around the house and helping with the kids still. Does he have any male friends with children that you could have a little word to...then maybe that friend could somehow subtly talk to your DP. Don't bottle it for too long though, come on here and vent when ever you need to as well. Hey is that trial cake for Tiahna's birthday - if so you clever person you. I never even thought to make a cake - I was just going to cheat - hmm...maybe i'll rethink that then.
Girl - Don't worry about the crawling to much - there is a couple of babies within mothers group who don't crawl yet either, more does a little tummy shuffle along the ground - and they are 10.5months old. On the sleeping - is that a sleep through the night from 9.30pm, then a morning 2hr nap and 30min arvo - if so that ain't too bad. Hope you haven't gone to crazy being home alone - you talking to yourself or the tv alot (I do anyway with or without other people here..so that ain't a crazy thing though).
NaNa - LOL on the burnt toast - that's always me too. We (more so me) usually get stuffed around when eating out. It's either burnt, wrong order, late, forgotten about Yeah, an overseas trip for Aaid sounds like a pretty good 1st birthday present to me. I'm sure he'll get a souvenir (sp?) as well which will be something he can keep as a reminder of it too - as well as a little fat belly from all that food
Nikki - How'd your trip up here to the Gold Coast go? Where did you stay? Did you check out the theme parks? Thank goodness the rain cleared up for you...it's been horrible over the last week.
Abb - How was your weekend away (except for the car trouble)? Sorry you and NaNa didn't get a chance to meet up. Was Hamish a good boy as usual?
Well we've had a busy few days. Friday was my Mum's birthday, so we went up to hers (30mins up highway) for the day. For her present we did a paint hand and footprint, and I also got Cam to do a little fingerpainting (was very messy and he didn't enjoy it at all), which I framed with a picture of Cam in his "Nana" shirt (couldn't get one doing the fingerpainting as it was too messy). She was so happy she cried.
I also had an appointment at the hairdressers for a trim, so Mum got to 'babysit' for a little bit - she was in her element.
Then Saturday was my best friends wedding. I left Cam at home with DH (left after his 1st feed - as hair was being done early). Even though the hairdresser was warned, she was still overwhelmed when she saw my hair (it is rather long and very thick). So it took a little longer then expected. I ended up popping home (which was still a 25min drive) about 11ish, did a quick express - which felt pointless as only got about 100mls (think I was a little stressed, nervous, excited - just couldn't flow). Then Dh and Cam dropped me back up there. Dh then tried to get Cam to have a sleep, as wedding was at 4, but they had to leave home by 3. Apparently Cam finally gave in about 10mins before he had to get up . Oh well, he was still a good and happy boy at the ceremony (except for a squeal I heard - right at a quiet moment ).
I was soo nervous and excited. I'd fought tears all day, especially after our make up was done. I was also helping the bride get dressed and I think that was the hardest moment...but kept my focus. But as soon as I started walking down the isle I stupidly looked at the groom (I was telling myself the whole car trip not to do that). Down came the tears and the quivering lips. It was so beautiful. I was also asked to do a reading which was halfway through the ceremony. I was so nervous I'd stuff it up. Every time I'd practised I'd read it soo fast, but thankfully when it was my turn, my brain went clear...and I read it perfectly...I was so proud of myself
The rest of the ceremony and reception was great - pictures are on my facebook. We all had a wonderful and relaxed - especially the bride -there was a little hiccup with the cake not being ready...but it got there just in time and there was a little bit of rain about lunchtime - but the sun was out in time for the wedding. My mum came to the ceremony and took Cameron back to ours after the photos, that way we could relax. She had no trouble with him...went to bed easily (dam my mum says...think she was hoping for more cuddles).
Well besides that...the only other thing that's happened is that Cam's getting his next tooth. I can see today the top right eye tooth has cut through...and I think the left is not far away.
That's all for me for now. Hope you's are all well.
NaNa aww so sorry we didn't get to catch up, we ended up only in Melbourne for 24 hours. We had so much to fit in the time we are now coming back in Easter School holidays for about 3 00r 4 days so we will most definetley catch up then i promise.
Bec - i had a look at photos on Facebook, you look gorgeous and love the family picture, Cameron is so happy. Hamish did behave very well, was unsure how he would sleep etc in strange house but he slept from 9.30 to 8am so i was very pleased.
Jess - I hope things improve with your Dh, i agree with NaNa he needs to help, you can not continue with no support. Try and take advantage of his 2 weeks off, it seems like you will have to take every opportunity you can until he gets it.
We had trouble with tyres on the car so had to return friday night, was so very annoyed as they were brand new, only fitted friday. Anyhow we left Saturday, arrived at Dp's parents home, we had never stayed before as Dp's brother lives in a unit behind there place and Dp and him have not spoken for 4 years ( that is a whole new thread). We had a good weekend but i think we spent more time in the car than anywhere else, i am now tired and sore from sleeping on an air bed that was flat majority of night.
Hamish is awake so i will try be back later..
just thought i woudl pop in quickly and say hi and i am still here. it feels like ages since i have posted btu i have been busy. jayda is still plodding along well.
No I have not gone crazy. I've surprised myself. I am doing really really well. I speak to DH 3-4 times a day. It's great because DD and I go out so we are not stuck only at home. DD doesn't sleep all night. She still breastfeeds twice during the night. Or probably three times (quick feeds). It also helps her settle. She isn't hungry but does it for comfort purposes. She has been sleeping with me for 2 months now during the night. She has not slept in her cot only for day naps which I normally take too which means she sleeps in my bed. LADIES, I have a problem. I am addicted...to shopping but not for me, for Yasmeenia. Everytime, well almost everytime I go out I buy her clothes. Probably every month or every fornight . Today I bought her two outfits and a top . It's so beautiful I couldn't help it. Goodness, I wonder what DH is going to say. He always tells me not to buy clothes often because she is growing, blah, blah, SHUT UP! Tell it to someone who cares! Sorry ladies. But I hate it when he tells me not to do this, that, ect. Anyways time for dinner. Bye for me.
so cant beleive jayda is 10months on thursday it has gone so fast. 2months till her birthday i have nearly got everything organised.
i am going to do a trial of her cake this weekend i think. i just have to decide between 2 cakes a butterfly or a castle.
we had a shocking night last night. she cried all night and slept with us cause i was too tired to keep gettin up and going to her room. DH had a sook this morning even though he isnt working today. then i just took her upstairs to him while the other kids have a sleep so she doesnt keep them up and u should of seen the look on his face it was like i asked him to run a 100km race or something. so now he is up there being all grumpy slamming doors and all that so it prob would of been queiter keeping her down here.
i so hope she sleeps tonight cause Dh is on night work and i really need some sleep.
i think her top eye teeth r coming through one i can see is about to cut through and her nose is running liek crazy and she has a chesty cough. she is happy as anythign today so i dunno if it was teeth or just sick.
i really dunno wat to do. i have 6 months of my pill left and we were going to start trying after it ran out but i am so worried about my weight. i am tryin so hard to be good and get it off but the harder i try it seems i am puttin more on.
i was booked into a hypnotherapist last friday but she never showed up so i rang another one today and he doesnt work the only day i can go so i guess that is a sign i am not ment to go to one lol.
i know all my weight issues r in my head thats y i wanted to go to the hypnotherapist to get all that sorted out but yeah i just dont know.
then i am thinkin well it isnt much use loosing all the weight hten puttin it back on again when preg shoudl i just wait until after the next(and last) bub and try really hard after that to get it off?
sorry it is a me post i am so tired i cant really concentrate on anything else at the mo.
girl: i am soo addicted too. and toys anything baby even food and nappies and formula hahahahahaha. i am tyrin so hard not to buy anythign from now cause there is some stuff she hasnt even worn that doesnt fit her anymore

OMG Sass- i just did a trial cake too... Beautiful Butterfly... Have few designs to try also a fairy/doll one (u know the one where it looks like the dolls dress) and i have been looking at castle ones on ebay and they have some GREAT cake tins of disney princesses, butterflies, castles etc... SO excited trialing these cakes... But sad that our babies are growing up... i think were all not liking how fast they are growing.
I'm always buying stuff for DD... I think its so tempting with girls... I thought being my 2nd i'd learn but nope... LOL... I saw the cutest demim dress with long sleeve top and just had to have it for DD... New shoes to match... LOL... Dying for her to grow some hair so i can make little pigy tails... LOL....
DD has been going well... Woke up this morning rosy cheeks and i thought OMG she'd going to be so sooky but nope... Not sure if its the amber necklace but the last few days she has been great. lots of teething signs (dribbling, red cheeks, nappy rash pulling ears) but no sooking.
She now LOVES Cherio's for breakfast. DS eats them and not sure if its cos he likes them that DD does but she eats a small bowl for breakie (no milk added) then a bottle 1 piece of fruit for morning tea sandwhich for lunch then botle and bed maybe another piece of fruit or the mum mum biccies for arvo snack with a small drink of pear juice (which i have noticed is keeping her regular and not constipated) dinner (usually what we have or pasta/ravioli/ or something similar then bottle and bed by 7.30 if she wakes at night i give her 100-150 mls of milk only at 1 wake up if she wakes twice she gets water.
So thats 4 bottles(200mls) and 1 at wake up of 100-150mls....so 4-5 bottles a day is that what ur bubs are having??
jess: does she try to pull the necklace or eat it?
i tried jayda on rice bubbles the other morning she was a bit weird with them but she ate most of it (with milk)
she isnt eating much today so i gave her a extra bottle. she usually has 3x240ml but she is nearly ready to drop one but i dont kwno if i should drop the morning or lunch one. wat do u think?
it is so annoyign with girls clothes there is so much and i have so many hair clips hahahah
oh and shoes but she usually eats them not wear them lol
eeeeek! At playgroup today, I found out one of the other mums is pregnant! Her son is only a couple of weeks younger than DS, but thankfully not nearly as hyper or full-on. She was so freaked out about telling us, because she thought we'd all say she was crazy. Well, maybe a little bit, but good on her. I think she's brave, and wish her the very best of luck. I know there will be a couple more announcements in our group soon, there's a few mums who want an 18-month gap between their kids. Still, freaks me out...
Anyways... still no sleep here. DS is officially nuts. I am SO over this waking up and screaming, then partying every 2 hours. I'm so knackered. Quarter to 5 this morning he decides it's a good time to go potty, and in order to tell me this he climbs onto my face and squeals and claps like it's hysterically funny and shouts at me. And today he slept a total of 45 minutes, with half an hour kicking and fussing in the middle. So tonight he's in his own single bed, in our room. it helps, because I can't get him to sleep in the cot anymore, and I'm fed up with him beating me up every morning!!
Abb - woo! 7 teeth! Number 6 is still just about to cut thru here, and I swear each tooth has been worse than the last. You're lucky! DS likes Roary too, but still prefers the French news to everything else on TV. Is that wierd?? He's totally transfixed by it...
Bec - the wedding sounds lovely, I'm sure you were great! So lucky to have your mum to take Cameron for a while!
Girl - ETA means Edited To Add, we posted at the same time the other day, so I wanted to say Hi! I know what you mean about being addicted to shopping. I don't have much choice, because DS grows out of everything so quickly. But I buy a lot of secondhand stuff because I can't afford to spend so much on clothes he'll never wear. Oh, and I also spend too much on MCN, but that's so EASY to do! I can't help it!
Hope you're still enjoying your time with just you and Yasmeenia. That would be nice!
I'm still breastfeeding. Don't think I'd cope if I had to do formula...
Sass - sorry you had a rough night! welcome to my world Apparently the eye teeth cause the most trouble when bubs are teething (except for the 2y.o molars!) so hopefully that's the only thing that's causing problems and it gets back to normal for you.
birthday cakes... hadn't even thought about it. I'm sick of making cakes. I'd rather just eat them! I think we'll have a combined playgroup party for all the kids in July when I get back from OS. Can't really be bothered making a big fuss for just DS when he wont remember anything, and wont eat cake anyway. He gagged on a piece of my muffin this morning and puked everywhere! Bleurk!
OK, I have a headache, and a huge mess to clean up. DP is at a work function and texting me about how bored he is every 5 minutes. He could always come home and wash up all his breakfast dishes... but no, there's networking to be done... blah!
Yeah, an overseas trip for Aaid sounds like a pretty good 1st birthday present to me. I'm sure he'll get a souvenir (sp?) as well which will be something he can keep as a reminder of it too - as well as a little fat belly from all that food
. Oh well, he was still a good and happy boy at the ceremony (except for a squeal I heard - right at a quiet moment
. Every time I'd practised I'd read it soo fast, but thankfully when it was my turn, my brain went clear...and I read it perfectly...I was so proud of myself
it helps, because I can't get him to sleep in the cot anymore, and I'm fed up with him beating me up every morning!!
I can't help it!
