Have a fabulous holiday Dan! I'm so jealous lol, would kill for a holiday right now! Good luck with the car trip, starting during the night sounds like a good plan.
Lulu are you sure that isn't my DH you can hear snoring - he is so loud lately that I wouldn't be surprised if you could hear him from the moon! YAY for Ellie sleeping through, all that crawling might be tiring her out!
Tan hope you guys had a better night.
Shell hope your kids are on the mend.
Going shopping today for a present for SIL birthday, have no idea what to get her. Have a great day all!
Just got back from Izzy's 18 month check with the CHN. Said she's doing exceptionally well with all her development and agreed with me that she sounds ready to start TT. She's on the 75th percentile for height but only the 25th percentile for weight so she's such a little string bean.
I've gone and bought potties, toilet seat, training undies, pull up undies, knickers - you name it, we've got it so we're ready to go with TT. While Mum and I were out shopping yesterday I thought I might buy Izzy a dress or a skirt - make it easier for her with TT. Ended up buying her two new skirts and four new dresses - all Mum's fault! Geez they're cute but my little girl looks so grown up in a dress.
Elena is seriously crawling everywhere now and is getting herself to a sitting position. Izzy thinks its fantastic that her little sister can now join in some of her games and spends her day shrieking with delight. Its the first time in six months since El was born that I've looked at them and actually been glad to have two babies - they're such a joy to watch now.
Anyway, nothing else to say. Hope everyone's well - hope you're enjoying your holiday Dan!
Lulu - Yay for TT!! I want to start Izzy over summer too mainly because her poo is just SO gross right now!! Yay for the dresses too - aren't they just adorable in them! So different to this time last year when they were crawling with them on. Elena is such a clever poppet hun and I understand what you mean about your 2... It is REALLY tough. Our little man is sleeping ok at night - Im generally only up twice sometimes 3 times but Izzy is SO demanding and toddlerish right now. I think a bit of attention seeking has kicked in so we have tantrums and eating refusal plus she's waking up early too so it's been hard. SO glad I still have DH home- the joys of subbies.
Lis - Bummer about the delay hun - I hope you find a plasterer soon! That is so cute that Elena already loves her room!!!!
Dan - for the holiday - sounds lovely hun, I would love to get away in Jan with my sister and her family down to the beach - will see how we go!! How are you feeling right now?? Any ms??
Izzy is great - she just LOVES James and hugs and kisses him all the time. Sometimes nearly smothers him so I have to keep an eye on her but its gorgeous to watch! James is giving us big gummy smiles already which just melt my heart..so adorable!
Shell - to the kids - hope you are all better babe. How is work going??
Kass, D, LMS and everyone else I have missed to you all!
Well we are doing well - James is sleeping from around 7 til anywhere from 11-1 each night and then another 4 hour block so thats great. Most nights he feeds and goes back down easily - every now and then he is wide awake and takes a bit of walking to get to sleep! We are loving the hammock and have bought it from the hire place for him too now so thats great. He is sleeping in the lounge in his bouncer most of the time during the day because he seems to just want to be near us and the noise of his sister! Because I am getting some decent sleep the days are much more manageable and I can see myself coping ok once DH goes back to work - he is still off work, he is enjoying the time with his kids and although we are eating into our savings it is worth it!!!! Izzy is great - loves her little bro but is teething, off her food and throwing tantrums every 2 mins right now. She is alway whining when she wants something and is driving us a bit batty. I keep repeating Ignore or Distract, Ignore or Distract to DH but it's hard when you have that high pitched fake cry ringing in your ears This to shall pass hey! She is in her big girl bed permanently now and loves it! She was sick last week and because she threw up in her cot DH put her in the bed and she hasn't left it since! Hasn't fallen out either but there isn't too far too fall seeing as he cut the legs off it!!
Ok Im off to rest while I can in case I spoke too soon about my lovely children!! Chat to you all soon!
thought id drop in after talking to danni on facebook recently.
and wow, congrats to nurse dan on your pregnancy. glad to hear mums with #2 are doing well!
we also have some pregnancy news. i am expecting #2 5th june 2009. i am 11wks on friday. dying to find out what im having of course! (ps. no facebook messages as we havent told anyone yet!)
all is pretty good here. baden is doing well. such a big boy now. for those of you on facebook i do try to keep up to date with whats happening...
hope everyone is well. will try drop in a bit more often...
Tan sounds like James is in a great routine! Aaawww I love his pic, he is so cute! I hope Izzy's teeth pop through soon, which ones is she up to now?? YAY for the big bed too, do you find her the right way up in the morning? Ellie still moves round so much in her cot.
Lulu yay for TT! Sounds like you have everything you'll need lol! We might try this summer but probably not till after settled into our new place. Mum bought Ellie a book on toilet training. It is so funny! My favourite line is 'Big girls do wee wee and poo poo on the big toilet'. Then there is a little button you push which makes the sound of a toilet flushing
Dan hope you are having a fabulous time!
Shell are you guys feeling better. Wish I had your pool today its so hot here.
Hello to everyone else, hope you are all well!
I have been super busy with house and work stuff. Elena finally cut those molars thank god and she's back to her happy self. I took half a day off work yesterday as it was so quiet and treated myself to some retail therapy - bought 2 dresses, pair of black slip on shoes and treated my girl to a gorgeous red/white dress too! I love dresses lol!
Better go, half an hour till I finish work and a few things to do! Take care all xxxx
ETA congrats dolphin!!!!!

Congrats Dolphin!!! Great to hear from you hun!!!! So many babies!!
Lis - Izzy has just cut her 4th eye tooth and they are SO sharp and pointy poor love. Molars weren't much better as far as grizzliness and pain goes either so hopefully Elena's come through quickly.
It's SO hot here today - ugh and we only have cooling in the lounge and Im not used to having a summer bub so the dilemma continues of what to dress and wrap him in!!
Tan I hope Izzy and James slept ok in the heat! Ellie woke up terrified with the loud thunder last night, poor thing didn't know what it was.
Just popping in to wish you all a great weekend! I'm off to start my christmas shopping today. Hope all tots, bubs and bubs to be are being nice to their mummies! xxxx
Hi gorgeous ones!
Dan - Read your other thread - hope you are feeling better soon lovely!
Lis - How did you go with Christmas shopping? I really need to start too but I don't have the motivation right now!
Shell - How are you and your gorgeous ones going hun????
D- How are you feeling love? Hope the m/s isn't too bad?
LMS - Not long to go gorgeous! SOOO exciting!
to everyone I have missed I am being slack!
Im off to mums for the day today because DH is ripping out our benchtops and replacing them and we have ordered all new doors for the kitchen! Not a total reno - keeping all the skeleton of it but it should look great! I will have to take some before and after shots! We are doing well - our little man is only up once between 7-6 so I am feeling wonderful! He is feeding 3 hourly during the day and is wide awake alot of the time but I don't mind so much because I am getting such great night time sleep. Izzy is such a treasure - just LOVES her little brother so much and gives him the most gorgeous kisses and cuddles! Right Id better get in the shower and get moving! Love to you all!
Yay for the dresses too - aren't they just adorable in them! So different to this time last year when they were crawling with them on. Elena is such a clever poppet hun and I understand what you mean about your 2... It is REALLY tough. Our little man is sleeping ok at night - Im generally only up twice sometimes 3 times but Izzy is SO demanding and toddlerish right now.
