[Sair]

Ugh!!! Juz's friend sent a text today saying we can't stay there now because he doesn't have the room WTF!!! I am not impressed, Juz has loaned this friend money a few years ago and this person has not paid a cent back and every time we go to meet up he is so selfish and never stops by to say goodbye b4 he goes back to Melbs, I am so angry at his disrespect and I feel like Juz is being used by him. Okay my rant is over but it looks like I might end up staying here in Horsham for the weekend and miss out on meeting up until the next time I am down...

Sangie, how terrifiying! I keep a key outside jic I forget my keys, its pretty safe here to do things like that though.

Ash, more teeth!!! Lucky girl Noah doesn't have any yet!

Tan, glad to hear work went good for u yesterday. I hope it went just as well today!

Okay enough from me for now I have a stroppy boy and dinner to prep.

How quick did the week fly!!!

[Beach Mama]

Oh Sarah that sucks hun I have to say Im secretly glad though because I wasnt going to be able to make it on Monday - but next time you come I might be able to! Brat I know- sorry :P
Had a great day today, more later - Im exhausted and have no idea how Im going to survive when the kids start! This is just setting up and planning and Im stuffed.

[LuluHB]

Tan - glad your first sort of day back went well.

Lis - you poor thing. I worry about Iz getting locked in the car with me on the outside. We have a spare set of keys hidden just in case. I'm with you though - a brick through the window would definitely have been high on my list!

Ash - 8 teeth is just crazy. Iz got two by 6 months but nothing since then. I wish she would just keep getting them like Blake is doing - be nice to have something to show for all the grumpiness.

Sarah - that's very annoying about Juz's "friend". Some people have no idea what friendship really means.

Iz had her 8 month check up (although she's almost 9 months!) Poor little poppet is still a tiny munchkin at 7.7kgs. But OMG - she took 3 steps without hanging on to anything yesterday. She did a nose dive into me at the end of it but it actually took a few seconds for me to realise what I'd just seen! Oh please please please let it have been a fluke and don't let my baby girl start walking any time soon.

[sangie]

Wow Lulu what a clever little girl you have. I know what you mean though, its great that our bubs are learning new things but at the same time is kind of sad that they are not so little anymore. Iz is a little poppet isn't she, how gorgeous! Elena was 8.9kg at 8 months with no shortage of fat rolls lol!

Sarah doesn't sound like Juz's friend is much of a friend. Elena doesn't have any teeth yet either, I thought she was the only one but she still has one gummy friend!

Tan glad your return to work is also going well. I know what you mean about the first cuddle after being away all day, priceless hey! After finishing work I am literally busting to pick up my princess, look out anybody who gets in my way lol! I have found it to be exhausting too, organising everything for El beforehand, working and then coming back to El and dinner and then organising again for the next day. Phew I don't know how full time working mothers do it or maybe I'm just not very good at it.

Hi Ash, Blakey has 8 more teeth than Elena does lol, how insane! I wouldn't be at all surprised if you told me his baby teeth had fallen out and that his adult teeth were there. Do you brush them or aren't you supposed to yet, I have no idea????

Gotta go, hello to everyone else and here's hoping for a night of uninterrupted sleep for all.....hhhmmmmm wishful thinking!

[Beach Mama]

Lis- forgot to say your avi is hot to trot mama!! I use a little toothbrush for Izzys pegs, they say to start roght away as the food and milk can pool around their gums so once or twice a day I give them a little scrub. She grinds them though and I have to say its awful - ewww worst sound in the world, anyone elses bubs doing that?

Lulu - Yay for Izzy, well you know what I mean. Izzy is crusing all our furniture so its only a matter of time Ive said it before but WHERE have our babies gone?????

[Shellbelle]

Why hello everyone!!!

Tan, how is work going?? Are you exhausted!!!! I Am actually enjoying work a little, have to say I was so anxious going back, but after the first day felt so much better about it all.

Lis, your av is awesome!!! I wish I had an uninterrupted nights sleep also!!! What exactly is that again.....

Sarah, boohoo about your friend. What a shame. Maybe you can plan a hol to QLD instead haha!!

Ash, 8 TEETH OMG!! Angus still only has 2!! How is XDH situation going??

Lulu, 3 steps - WOW!!! She will be running around in no time!! Your baby is def growing up fast!! Angus doesn't even cruise furniture yet so heres hoping I have a few months left before tackiling the walking stage!!

Hi To everyone else out there!!!!

I have been so busy this week it has been crazy. Don't plan any subsequent kids for Jan, trust me!!! We just have x mas, then it is DD's birthday. So lotsa new toys happening round here!! She got spoilt rotten, and still has her party this Sunday, so round 2 will begin! I think I will aim for about a Sept baby next time (still thinking crazy woman thoughts Lulu pmsl!!)

How is everyone going with the solids?? Do yoou all do sollids before or after BF/bottle now?? Angus just doesnt seem to have any sort of routine lately, he is all over the shop. Up and down all night BF, sometimes up at 6am, other days 8am. Is driving me insane!!!

Anyway, might do a bit of forum cruising then head to bed! Ciao

[Danni]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe it. Mason only woke once, yes I mean ONCE from 9pm to 6:30am. ****!

I wonder if it has to do with the huge amount of food he ate last night... he had 2 full size saladas, 2 big baby biscuits, a huge 170gm jar of pasta bolognese, chicken off my dinner plate, vegies off my dinner plate and then home made custard!!

Anyway I can finally stand up today and open my eyes for once. whoo hoo. bet it wont last though

Mason still only has two teeth at the bottom, and still has no desire to crawl or be on his tummy at all! he spends his day squaking and squealing, and does not stop talking.

Hope everyone else is doing well. I should be able to keep up in the next day or two thanks to my good sleep last night!

[Kazmar]

hey guys sorry i havent been around! Tan that new pic of iz on ur ticker is beautiful, im still trying 2 work out how 2 fit a different one on mine, it wont let me.
MAbello: Congrats on Mason sleepinf so well, i wish bella would do the same theres another tooth coming through and she doesn't want 2 sleep!
Lulu: I can believe she has taking 3 steps!!! Thats so exciting!!! Now ur really going 2 have 2 watch her, she'll b in2 everything! Was she proud of herself?
Guess what ladies mum and dad r giving me an early 21st prezzie!!!! Bella and I r going 2 Europe!!!!
Also ill go back over the other threads later 2 c what else i've missed coz u guys talk so much!!!

[lee75]

Hi everyone!!
Thought I would do a quick hello, and see whats going on. Will pop in on the weekend to do personals, just a tad tired at the moment, TBH can't keep my eyes open and its only almost 8pm here!!!
Kass - wow Europe sounds amazing!!! When are you going there?
Ethyn is FINALLY getting his first tooth!!!!! He's got a long way to go to catch up to Blake!!!
He has just started saying "dadda" yesterday, and is still climbing his way up the furniture!!! No sign of crawling, he kinda moves his legs as he pulls himself along with his arms, which he seems to be quite happy doing, so not sure if he will crawl or not!!
Anyways must go, need to veg on the lounge!!

[Beach Mama]

Lee- its so funny when they "drag" themselves around! I didn't think Iz would crawl either because she was able to get to where she wanted SO fast by just pulling herself everywhere, but she has worked out crawling........kind of!! Haha she crawls on hands and FEET! Heehee so unco! Yay for Ethyns first tooth - so cute!!

Kass- I love this pic too, its a bit serious for my Iz but she just looks so cute!! When you are resizing your pics for Lilypie, go to whatever program you have for editing, make pixel size no bigger than 600x400 and DPI 72. Good luck! Yay for Europe! You lucky girl! Where do you think you will go and when? Have fun planning!

Danni- Yay for Mason hun! I really hope its a turn for you and he starts sleeping better for you. Its soo tough. Hope you are ok hunny. How is the househunting going??


Dan- How are you going? Hope Livvy is doing well and you are feeling like you care getting into a bit more of a routine with work hun.

Shell- I hope DD's party goes well today!! I was thinking a summer baby would be fun! My birthday is in July and we had a pool and I hated it because I always wanted a pool party but couldnt have one!! Maybe a Feb baby!! I still generally do feed first, but thats just because my booby monster is 3 hourly and it works out ok, occasionally brekkie will be before a feed though. She has brekkie, lunch, dinner and an afternoon snack like yoghurt, cruit or cruskits. Im thinking about fruit,yoghurt or custard after dinner too now. Anything to try and stop her waking twice a night!! I didnt mention it in my last few posts, but Im so sorry to hear about the little bubs who didnt make it when you were working. That would be soooo hard, I dont know how you do it, but I do know that you, Dan and all midwives are just absolutely wonderful and really do such an amazing job.

Lis - it is exhausting isn't it. I think its the strain of making sure Ive packed everything for her, written down all the instructions for her and told everything to mum that I need to. That all takes sooo long! I used to be one of those people that got up at the lastest possible minute for, work, hitting snooze a million times, then jumping in the shower, dressed and in the car. No brekkie - coffee once I got there!! Heehee! Now I know that once I officially start I will have to get up as Al leaves and give myself at least 1.5-2 hours to get ready!

Lulu- Yay for Izzy! What a clever little chooky hun, and it will be handy for you if she is walking well once Ned comes along too! (I think!? Not having 2 kids Im not sure but it kinda makes sense?! :P) She is little isnt she but I really dont think Iz is that far off really, she was 7.3 at her last checkup but shes really thinned down a bit since she has started crawling and standing on everything. LIttle wonder - shes so active the whole time shes awake! Oooh yay for mum moving closer too!!!! Thats great news!!

Jen - so good to hear from you! How is the sleeping going?? Stuff the "rod for your own backers" Im getting that now because she wont go back to sleep at night without a feed and we are struggling with that. Which suburb or area did you move to?? Maybe we should organise a Melbourne Map catch up when Sarah is here next!

Sarah! Hi hunny! How are you?? How is Noah going?? I hope you guys can come to Melbourne soon, that really sucks about your friend, I hate it when plans are cancelled at the last minute like that. How is work going - are you still getting a nice amount of orders coming in??

Ashi- 8 teeth! Thats amazing!! What a big boy Blake is and Happy 9mths a bit belated though!! for mozzie bites, the poor thing. Its so hard when there isnt much you can do. I hope you are doing super dooper well though hun.

Cant go back much further - Ive been soo flat out this week, and am back to work Tuesday "officially" so Im going to make the most of Al being home for the next few days - usually he works 6 days a week.
We are having a few friends here for a bbq and to listen to the hottest 100 on Triple J and it looks like a hot one so lots of pool today I think.

Izzy is cruising along so well - its such a fun age, I spend all day lying on the floor with her playing games and laughing while she climbs all over me! She has 3 teeth, and I cant wait to get her weighed, Im guessing she will have only just broken the 8kg mark. I think we are gonna tough love it again and stop these night feeds. I think Im gonna get Al to do all the settling initially because if I go in she gets angry that shes getting me but not booby. Ugh its soo hard.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY ALL!!! Have a great weekend!

[sangie]

Happy Aussie Day everyone!

Tan enjoy your weekend by the pool, sounds like the place to be in this hot weather. Does Iz love the pool? My ILs have a pool and El just loves it, starts laughing before she even gets in lol! I know what you mean, I love this age too and sometimes I wish I could freeze her at this age for a while!

Danni I hope Mason was good two nights in a row, did you fill him up with food again lol! Can't believe he ate that much food without bursting, maybe he is having a growth spurt. El hates tummy too and is not really crawling but does do this unco slide along the floor sometimes to get what she wants. I don't think she will crawl properly at all.

Kass yay for your parents, how exciting? Where abouts in europe are you going? We went 2 years ago and it was one of the best times of our lives, we loved it and hope to go back one day!

Shell Happy birthday to your DD, hope she has a great time at her party? We do bottle before feeds, one in morning when she wakes, one in late afternoon before dinner and then one before bed. I'm wrapped that she has dropped down to 3 woo hoo!

Lee nice to hear from you, yay for ethyn's first tooth and for saying dadda! El says dadda all day long, drives me bonkers sometimes! She can say mamma but only says it when she is upset, that'd be right....cheeky monkey.

Ok that is as far back as I can manage this morning. We are heading up to Albury tomorrow for an engagement party so going to spend a good chunk this afternoon packing and making sure I have everything for Elena. I am a proud mumma as El has learned to wave and whenever you say 'bye bye' to her she starts to wave, so cute! I am trying to teach her to clap hands too and she has almost got it.....better go, take care everyone!

[Kristen]

Hellloooooo gorgeous May Mummies!!

I am just quickly popping my head in to say hello - I'm afraid I have no time for personals as I am completely swamped and behind in my work already (!) but just wanted to touch base with you all to let you know I'm thinking of you all and hope you're going really well!!!

... back to work!

[Ashlee]

I am so sorry to be a selfish b!tch right now but you all need to know.

I've been the victim of picture stealing.

Before I joined BB I was a member of an American forum, BabyNamesWorld. A friend I have been chatting too for almost 2 years sent me a text this morning "Get online now, someone has stolen pictures of Blake".

To my horror, it's true. Some stupid fing hoe has claimed this is her 5th son, names James Isaac born 27 December. She even had the audacity to use the caption I had with the picture, referring to his "attitude".

Password all sites that have pictures of your precious children on them NOW. You do NOT know who is accessing these sites, and I don't want you to have to feel the heartache I am feeling right now.

Please, if not for mine or Blake's sake, do it for your baby's.

[Peach]

Ashlee :: That is just discusting, all I can say is that she must be mentally disturbed. Perhaps she was pregnanty and lost the baby and is pretending that Blake is hers ..? I have heard of that happening. Thank God that this lady lives in America. You have posted any personal information about Blake have you? I am so careful what I write on here, you just never ever know who is lurking .. not contributing just reading waiing for someone to post something they can "use". The only pictures I have on the internet of Kenzie are the few here on BB. I wondeer if it is possible to password proctect them? Not sure.

[Ashlee]

I just got a friend to run an IP address - this person lives 20 minutes away from me. I feel like being sick.

[LuluHB]

Ash - that's terrible sweetie. You poor thing. There are some very strange people out there and while I think the internet is great, its given these weirdos way too easy access into our private lives. Thanks for the warning.

Hi to everyone else. No time to catch up now but will try to check in later.

[Kazmar]

Ashlee i cant believe this could happen r u able 2 do something about it, its kind of abuse against Blake isn't it? I would write a letter and post it 2 her telling her u'll see her in court if she doesn;t get them off the site. Dont see her in person as she sounds like a freak!

[Liviam]

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around but it's been crazy busy here. Between working four days a week, studying, spending time and playing with Livvy, house hunting and everything else us mums seem to do I just don't have any free time at the moment. I'm reading the best I can and i'll be back soon to catch up on some personals real soon, hopefully anyway.
Ash that is really freaky. Some people are just plain ole weirdo's.
Chat soon mums and bubs,
