How exciting Dan. Happy linen shopping. Is Olivia taking an interest in her new bed or looking at pretty linen? I can't wait to do all that for Izzy but TBH, I'm a bit worried about putting her into a big girl bed. She knows how to open doors and takes great delight in barging her way through the semi open door of Elena's room to go racing up to the cot and bashing on the cot railings screaming "Ehhey, Ehhey", and then looking at me so proud of herself that she found her little sister - who is frequently fast asleep until all this happens
Sarah - how are you going? Is that little man of yours showing any signs of making an arrival or is he keeping his Mummy waiting a bit longer?
Hi to everyone else. We've just got in from a bit of shopping. Geez its hot. I love my airconditioning . . .
Hi All. I am fairly new to BB and I have been mainly posting in the TTC group, but got curious and thought I would look around at baby buddies groups. My DD was born 15 May 2007 so I assume this is the right group to join. Thought I would introduce myself - I am 27, have been married to my DH for 8 years now, have 2 children DD 19 months and DS 7 months. We are TTC #3 and we live in Townsville. I am a stay at home mum but before babies I was a behaviour management teacher. I will go back to some sort of a career one day, but at the moment love what I am doing.
I hope you don't mind me joining in and look forward to getting to know all of you.
Hey All! I am one of those slack ones!! I try and post, but more than often read - then one of the kids are screaming wanting something!! So...never get to reply!!! Welcome Townsville girl!! Nice place to live hey
Well, we had an interesting day yetserday. Angus woke up, had his milk, then promptly threw up everywhere!! He had some temps the day before and over night, and also had a fine rash on his legs. So he continued to constantly vomit whenever he had fluids!! So, off we went to the chemist (only had one iceblock thingy), got more iceblocks and the bottle of hydralyte stuff. He held that down, had a sleep, then woke up like nothing was wrong. Weird!! The rash spread across his legs and tummy, so pretty sure it was a viral rash, cause the temps stopped when the vomiting stopped. Hopefully no one else gets it!! I hate voomiting!! Today he is back to normal!!
Anyway, am thinking I need an early night!! He had a really restless night, and I am so so tired. Had a semi late night New years Eve - went to dinner for my birthday, then had to go to work at 7am New Years Day!! Then had a late night with the family that night, so need to catch up on sleep I think!! xxx
Thanks for all the congrats ladies! I am still in shock as I wasn't expecting it to happen so quickly. I had convinced myself that it was going to take months.
Tan congrats on becoming an aunty! I completely understand why you wouldn't want to take Izzy on a plane to Canada. If she is anything like Elena then sitting still for even one minute is out of the question!
Dan yay on the big girl bed! How is it going? We haven't made that transition yet, thinking we might wait until after Ellie turns 2. She is still such a wriggler at night!
Lulu how adorabe that Izzy goes to find her sister! Although you would probably rather that she let Elena sleep lol! I've heard that there is a heat wave going on in your part of the world, hope you are all coping with the heat. At least you ain't pg this summer lol!
Shell glad that Angus is ok, how scary! Happy birthday hun!
Welcome townsville girl and best of luck trying to TTC!
Gonna head off to bed soon, feeling very tired and sick already. Take care all xxxxx
Welcome Townsvillegirl. Looks like you're like me and have two bubbies VERY close together. And you're going back for NO. 3 already??? Wow. You're a very brave lady.
Shell - happy belated birthday. I hope Angus is better very quickly and that your girls (or you) don't get it. Hope you get a lot of sleep too.
Lis - sorry you're feeling so sick already. I know its a great indication that everything is ok but seriously, MS sucks! I hope it passes very, very quickly for you. Were you sick with Ellie and if yes, the whole time or did it ease up? Yes - I would definitely rather Ellie was allowed to sleep. Very frustrating sometimes but its hard to be angry with Izzy is so proud of herself and Ellie wakes up laughing and clapping. Very gorgeous.
LIke Lis said, it has been very hot over here and no sign of easing up over the next week - high 30s the whole way through. We have an airconditioner that does the upstairs where the girls' bedrooms are and one that does the downstairs. The upstairs one has been on continuously since Boxing Day. I am not looking forward to getting the power bill - might have to crack the whip and get DH working longer hours Still, if it means the girls get good naps during the day and comfortable sleeps overnight then its worth it.
Anyway, off to try to convince Ellie that she actually is tired. Don't like my chances given she is doing laps walking around the coffee table chattering away
Hi gorgeous mummies,
Lulu - I love reading stories about your girls. They just sound absolutely gorgeous together and it gets me all excited about Livvy with her little sister/brother. I can just picture Iz being so proud that she found her little sister. I'm still stunned that El is doing laps around the coffee table chattering away. God she is so little it's scary. I was terrified about getting our first heating bill as the house we were in when Liv was born was absolutely freezing and had a heater going all the time for her but like you we decided it was worth it to keep Liv warm.
Liz - about the m/s. Fingers crossed it eases up for you really soon and the first trimester flies by and the m/s disappears. Fantastic news that it happened quickly for you. I wanted to wait until Livvy was 2 for a bed but I want her settled in a bed before the baby comes for two reasons. I dind't want Livvy to associate the baby with taking away her cot and I have a funny feeling this transition isn't going to go well so I wanted her settled in a bed before I'm up all night with a newborn and try to avoid having to try and settle two kids overnight. Fingers crossed my plan works. Are you guys all settled in?
Tan - How are you gorgeous kiddies treating you. Still being spoilt by James sleeping through the night? How is Izzy when you b/f James? Is Iz sleeping overnight in her bed or day sleep only? How'd you make the transition in the end (my memory is terrible ).
Shell - Bugger about Angus being sick but great to hear that he already feeling better. Isn't it weird how they go from so sick to better in a matter of hours. They certainly keep up guessing and on our toes that's for sure. Have you managed to wean Angus yet or is he still standing firm and not giving up his bb's?? How's work treating you?
Townsville mum - Welcome to our amazing little group. Like Danni said sometimes it's quiet for a few days then we have a flurry of conversation. You'll have to fill us on your little kiddies. Best of luck TTC #3. Did you have any trouble TTC your first 2? Sorry if that's personal. Feel free to ignore me. I'm such a questioner (that's my polite way of calling myself a sticky nose, LOL!!!).
Danni - How you feeling gorgeous? Not long til your next scan. Can't wait to see if I guessed right. What is little M up to? Have you managed to move him into his own room yet?
Has anyone heard from Sarah?? Is her little man here yet??
Livvy has found a new interest. My bb's!!! I have no idea why she is always pulling down my top and playing with my bb's, REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE ARE OR WHO IS AROUND!!!! Anyone else's little ones doing this? I've noticed that I have started leaking ALREADY so I'm wondering if that is why.
We haven't made the transition to Liv's bed yet as it was only put together yesterday as I had to tidy up and sort out her room and wash all her sheets. Our first try is going to be her afternoon sleep today. Keep everything crossed for us. Lulu Liv absolutely loves her bed and is very protective of it!!! She loves sitting on it, laying on it, using her pillows but she is the only one. My mum was here yesterday when we put it together and made it and made the mistake of trying to sit on it with her. Livvy prompty walked behind on and started to push her off while telling her off. It was so cute but a little bit naughty.
Olivia's independence is getting out of control here. She is doing everything herself. I swear the only thing I'm allowed to do for her now is change her nappy. She even undresses herself. My baby has completely gone . She got a pram and capsule for Christmas and I can't get her to leave the house without them both. She even has to put them in the boot of the car. She is getting so damn cute and such a little girl.
I have my first OB appt tomorrow so hopefully all is ok with bubba. I've got a cute little belly but gee Olivia flogs the crap out of my belly. Poor little bugga. I had a little melt down the other day that this baby must be thinking that we don't want it because we have nowhere for it to sleep and haven't bought a single thing for it . We buy everything new still for Olivia so this one can have all her hand me downs. Poor little munchkin I even lost it's first u/s picture for 3 weeks so I couldn't show anyone. This would not have happened with Livvy. I feel so bad. It gets getter doesn't it??
Alright I better go. Got a house full of visitors and I'm being rude sitting on the computer while Dave cooks everyone breaky and cleans up afterward. I must admit I'm loving having him home and helping with everything. He's been amazing and we have even done some of our little jobs around the house.
Chat soon everyone. Have a great day and keep cool.
Still, if it means the girls get good naps during the day and comfortable sleeps overnight then its worth it.
