[Danni]

[LuluHB]

Oh Dan. That is such amazingly brilliant news. I am so happy for you. I had done a long post yesterday in response to yours but then it disappeared and I didn't have the energy to do it again. So, I don't have written proof of tell you I told you so

Seriously, so happy for you. Wishing you a happy, healthy and event free 8 months.

I'll try to BBL for personals. AF has finally visited after more than 2 years and oh boy is she making her return a memorable one!

[Liviam]

WE HAVE HAD A BREAK THROUGH!!!!

After another terrible night with Olivia screaming the house down and refusing to settle anywhere but on my chest with me sitting up on the couch she had cut her top two eye teeth THANK GOD!!! Hopefully this will be the beginning of Livvy going back to her normal sleeping.

Back later for personals.

GGGRRRR!!!! I hate computers. Just lost my beautiful post . Let's see how I go this time.

Sangie - GGGRRRR at tradies. Why can't they take a b!oody door off . YAY on El's molars. Hope the rest pop through easily. I understand hating DH going away. I'm exactly the same. Hate him going away for work.

Tan - So glad you are home with your gorgeous man. I love his name by the way. I'm so very sorry that you didn't get your VBAC . I am so incredibly proud of you. You are an amazing woman. So good to hear that Iz loves her new little brother. Hope your recovery is going really well gorgeous.

D -Good luck with your interviews this morning. Hope you get the one you want. Fingers crossed. Little M being good so you can grab a nanna's nap when you need to? How are his teeth coming?

Lulu - My first AF was horrific!!!! I was so sick, the cramps were shocking and OMG the bleeding. I thought I was going to need a blood transfusion, LOL!! Hang in there gorgeous they do ease up again. Each one gets better. How is your PND going? Feeling like you getting back to the old Lulu?? Livvy loves to spend all day outside just like Iz. Can't wait for santa to bring her her swing set so she has something to do out there.

Jan - Great to hear from you gorgeous and that Julian is going well. Livvy is walking tornado too. Every second tuesday I look after my neice (5 months older than Livvy) and oh my god!!! It's all worth it to see the look on their faces having fun. Pop back and keep us up to date on how you are going.

Hi to all the other gorgeous mummies.

AFM Nothing changed last night except mine and Dave's sleeping arrangements. We took shifts in sleeping in the spare bed with Livvy. When is this going to stop . She is much happier today so fingers crossed tonight will be better too. She has now cut three eye teeth so only one more and four molars to go!!!! Then hopefully it will be over for a little while.
I had my OB/FS appt yesterday. He has ordered a series of bt's to monitor my levels and work out when to do a dating scan. So far all is good. Hope it stays that way .
Ok better go and see if Olivia is going to eat today or tell me to shove it again, LOL!!
Have a fantastic day one and all,
Love me & livvy

Hi girls! Hope you are all well!
We are settling in at home with a lovely newborn that won't sleep unless it's on us so the last few days have been interesting- I forgot how you can still function on 2 hours sleep somehow. Izzy has been gorgeous - she is learning new words every day and today has finally worked out how to say Izzy which comes out as Cissy - SOOO adorable! We are still working on James - she tends to just call him bubba!
Loving every minute of our little guy and if I get a bt upset/tired/frustrated I just look at Izzy and realise how fast time flies and "this too shall pass!"
Chat soon - off to lay on the couch before the next feed! to you all lovely ladies!

[Shellbelle]

Oh Tan, I remember those days - I brought a hug a bub because the first few weeks I found I couldnt do anything with Angus - like when I went to cook dinner he would scream. So with 2 other littlies, was easier to have him strapped to me and he slept! I got heaps done and he loved it!! Have you got a wrap or baby carrier?? Not sure how it would be though following c/section?? Anyway, good luck, hope he settles for you into some sort of a routine!! xx

[LuluHB]

Yep. I remember them too as if they were yesterday. Oh yeah. It was. Ha ha

It is really tough in those early weeks when you feel as if you get no sleep and no time without your new little bub constantly attached to you. You're right - it does go past so fast. I just feels like it lasts 7 years I can only tell you what I know you should do, even though I'm completely incapable of doing it myself - ignore everything but James and Izzy. Housework, cooking, washing etc - get someone else to do them and just rest as much as you can.

I can't believe what Izzy is doing lately. Her comprehension is just incredible and she is such a creature of routine. She comes downstairs in the mornings and when you tell her her crumpet is nearly ready she goes and gets her chair, wheels it around to where it needs to be, climbs in, does up the strap and sits and waits. Amazing. She made her bed this morning! DH went to pick her up and her cot was neatly made. She also now goes to the cupboard door where I have the change table set up when she has done a poo so I'm wondering if she is ready to start toilet training. Is anyone else considering starting soon? I know if it doesn't work I can just leave it and try again down the track but it seems really early.

Anyway, better go. Off to get my hair cut and coloured today. Going back to my old hairdresser who now that she has kids works a couple of days from home. Its a bit of a trek but I'm really looking forward to it.

Wishing all preggie ladies bucket-free days Enjoy your babymoon Tan. Shell - I hope your kids are all feeling a lot better. Hope everyone else has a great day too.

[Shellbelle]

Lulu - funny you should mention TT. Angus has been telling me the last few weeks when he has done a poo - and also when he gets into bath he always does a wee - but he holds his doodie and says mum wee and does it!! Is a crack up!! I brought him some undies and he loves running around in them (outside that is!!). It is so hot here he hates wearing nappies. I am always finding him naked - he is so quick getting his gear off!! I am scared he is going to poo on the lounge or something though, so jocks are for outside only!!! DH wants me to get a potty but I hate them. Dont think i could empty it without vomiting (says the nurse hahaha) The girls just had the step on toilet seat, so I guess I have to try and get him to stand at toilet!!! I am not used to boys!!! Hmm, might get a ping pong ball, heard that is good for aiming at for little boys!!!

Anyway, Angus just woke up, betta go, all 3 kids are sick now - yay. xx

[Beach Mama]

Well I got a total of 2 hours sleep last night..... Between our little man who won't sleep unless being held ( I spoke too soon about the hammock) and Izzy who is heaps better but decided to get up at 5am and then DH who threw up all night, I didn't get bugger all sleep.
Called mum and they took Izzy for the night because we are all so tired.
Hope you are all well and Lulu- for Elena - what a clever girl crawling so soon hun! I agree with Shell, it feels like you just had her though!
Chat soon lovelies! oxox

[sangie]

Tan - I hope you have a better night tonight Poor Izzy and DH, is it gastro??

Lulu - Yay for Miss Elena crawling, what a clever little thing! I agree it feels like you just had her, time fies!!

Shell - eeekkkk you poor family, fingers crossed you all start feeling soon.

Kass - hope you get the net soon hun so we see you around a bit more often!

Well not sure when I'm moving yet
Our tiler has to come back and finish the bathroom because we ran out of wall tiles, even though we ordered more than he said to. Luckily there are still plenty of them in stock. Praying that we will move towards the end of this month although not getting my hopes up just in case. Oh and our plasterer broke his leg playing football so clearly he won't be back for a while, hhhhmmmm anyone know any plasterers lol!

Ellie loves our new house and every time we go there she goes into her new bedroom and says 'Ellie's room yay yay'. He he can't wait to get her things in there.

[Kazmar]

Hello ladies!


Tan- Have spoken to you. Very proud and cant wait to watch james grow!

Pregnant ladies...........YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I hope to join you soon!

Ill catch up on personals when i get the net back at home. Im on mums at the moment.


I miss you all so much! Cany wait to get back to regular personals! The new house is great!

Kisses and hugs to all and talk soon!

[LuluHB]

Lis - how are the renos going? I hope they're finished (or very close). Its a nightmare waiting on tradesmen to get their act together. At least you'll be settled in your lovely new house before Christmas.

Tan - how are things going with your gorgeous two? I saw your other post about Izzy being sick. I hope she's a lot better. I know what you mean about relearning - its amazing how quickly you forget isn't it. I've looking at solids for Elena and can't remember for the life of me what I fed Izzy when!

Dan - how did your scan go? I hope you're feeling well. Chats about wees and poos are lovely aren't they. Long gone are the days of whispering sweet nothings in your lover's ear

Elena is well and truly crawling properly now. No more commando crawling - up on her knees and off. I've spent the last few days dragging her back from the stereo, cds, tv etc. She tries to follow Izzy constantly. Izzy is loving the attention and now spends a lot of time racing over and giving Elena huge cuddles - its so cute. They're both teething, Elena has a throat infection and Izzy is still convered with a horrible fungal rash that she's had for weeks so they're a bit out of sorts. Not too bad if its only one of them upset at one time but more and more often it seems to be that they both start screaming. Not sure how but my PND actually seems to be settling down through all this - go figure - so that's a blessing.

Anyway, best go think about dinner for me and DH. Hope all tots, new bubs and cooking bubs are happy and healthy, and mums are getting some rest

[Shellbelle]

Lulu - seriously I can't believe Elena is crawling. That is crazy, seems like you just had her!!! Bet you have a hectic crazy house!! Well, I spose mine is prob the same!!

Tan - Izzy any better? Hope the rest of you don't get it. Yuck, I hate gastro. Nothing worse than seeing the littlies suffer either.

Kass glad the new house is great!!!

D and Dan - have you both had scans???

Lis - so when do you move in Hope it is soon and you sorted out those tradies!!

As for us, still snotty kids here. Doesn't seem to want to let up!!! Have used about 4 boxes of tissues the last fortnight, have resorted to washers and cloth flats for noses instead!! It is so hot here atm, glad we have a pool!!! Although since the kids have been sick we havent been in, but think this arve we might get in there!! Hope everyone is well xxx
