Hello!!!! I just had to go hunting for our thread!! Everyone has obviously had a busy few days!! I am still trying to get my house in order!! Have finished Angus's new room woo hoo! So....finally...no kids in my room!!! First time since I can remember for years and years!!!! So Angus now has his cot still and a single bed all ready in his room. He has all thomas the Tank Engine stuff as he LOVES it!! Whenever he sees a train he says toot toot!! So I brought a Thomas rug from spotlight for the floor with tracks and stuff so he can play with his trains on it! The girls room is also nearly finished - just need some more toy storage. Still looking around for something. And my room is almost done too - just have a heap of washing to fold (mountain of clothes lol!!) I feel so much better about the house and myself, is nice that it has some sort of order now!! AND to top it off my lovely DH went and brought 5 split sys aircons for the whole house! So, we can finally be cool in summer!!
I am also selling all my baby stuff - quite sad really. All you girls make me so clucky with your bubs and pregnancies! I feel so old to actually be "done" having babies. So weird actually. But anyway, I am enjoying watching my little ones grow up. I have 2 at school this year so just my little man and I will be home!
Anyway, I am off to morning tea with some work buddies this morn. Have to cook something, yikes I have no idea what though!! Sorry about the selfish post, but I couldnt go back throught the pages!!xx
Just a quick one and will catch up on personals later! Just wanted to say I KNEW it Danni! Congrats on another prince and Shell - OMG how cute is that photo of the girls with Angus! Just beautiful.
Chat later when Izzy goes down!
Thanks tan! They are my latest studio photos, they are actually all huge so I couldn't scan them, so took photos of the photos!! They were so expensive I couldn't afford them for family, as I wanted them all to myself
Congrats Danni. At least I've picked one right so far!!!
Dan - how is Livvy going with her bed? Any improvement?
Sarah - how is your new little man settling in? Is Noah happy with his little brother? I hope you're feeling a bit better now too.
Shell - Angus' room sounds gorgeous. Izzy loves Thomas too - I think it has given my DH a glimmer of hope that he won't be surrounded by girlie girls!! I know what you mean about being sad at the thought of selling baby things. About a month ago I packed away the 0000s and 000s thinking "maybe one day we'll have another baby". I've now decided that no, we definitely won't be having another baby and am slowly organising baby stuff for a garage sale. It makes me sad to think I'll never hold another newborn, I'll never get the chance of having a "normal" newborn, I'll never be able to breastfeed properly. The flip side is that quite honestly I'm too scared to have another baby. Its been such hell for the last two years I don't think I could survive it again.
Anyway . . .
I agree with Tan - that photo is stunning. You say your "latest" studio photos. How many have you had done? I haven't had any - I must be a bad mummy! I really want them though - maybe I'll tell DH that's what I want for Mother's Day this year.
Nothing much going on with us. Izzy's vocabulary is increasing every day and sometimes I listen to what she's saying and then a few seconds later realise its something new - seems to happen daily now. She's going through a bit of a fussy food time though and has lost weight - her size 0 pj bottoms have to be rolled over twice to stay up!! Otherwise everything is good. DH said that I can start getting her big girl bed stuff now so am really looking forward to that - I think my Mum probably is too!
Hi to everybody else. Better go and do some washing - although have to use the dryer today because some idiot set fire to the beautiful national park in the city yesterday and its still burning. We're only 5 kms away so its really smokey outside. Hate to think what my washing would smell like if I hung it on the line. Izzy's not happy because I won't let her play outside either!
Shell - YAY for the aircons. Don't know what I'd do without mine! Angus' room sounds awesome! I can't wait to do up the new bub's room, so exciting!
Tan - Must'n be long till Al gets home!
Dan - How is Livvy going in her big bed? Hope all is well with you!
Lulu - I love that ticker photo, so cute! YAY for getting some big bed stuff for Izzy! Are you going with a particular theme?
Hi Danni, LMS and Kass!
AFM Feeling very tired still and starting to get very hungry. OMG I put on my fav cargo's yesterday and they felt a bit tight. I'm scared I'm going to be the size of a small nation with this pg!
Quick question - have you ladies bought or going to buy a single bed or toddler bed for your tots? I'm leaning towards a single bed with a rail but DH thinks a toddler one would be better for Ellie to climb in/out of and also not as far to fall lol! Interested to hear what you are all doing!
Gotta go, can't keep my eyes open any longer. Take care all xxxx
Lis - I was definitely bigger much more quickly with El but ended up smaller than I with Iz. I love that photo too. You might disagree with me (don't know why ) but I really do have the most beautiful girls in the world!
I'm going with a single bed. Izzy's cot converts to a junior bed but I want to have the bed in her room but still have her cot so we can basically let her decide when she wants the bed. That's the plan anyway - we'll see how it goes!! As for a theme, I saw a "Hiccups" doona that has fairies and flowers on it. Izzy loves "flowees" so I'll take her into the shops and see if she likes it.
Hi there my gorgeous group of mummies and toddlers (I hate calling them toddlers). I just wanted to pop in and personally say my good byes to you all because you are such a wonderful, fantastic bunch of ladies who I am going to miss greatly.
I've been tossing this around for a few weeks now and yesterday pretty much decided it for me. My time on BB has come to an end (at least for now). I'm going to have a break for a while and hopefully with some time away I may feel comfortable enough to come back.
I have absolutely no idea how I would have made it through the last three years without such a wonderful fantastic bunch of women supporting me every second of it. I will pop back in and check on all of you gorgeous women from time to time as I just an't imagine my life without you all in it.
To those who are pg I wish you all the best with your pregnancy and meeting your new little bundle of joys and starting this amazing journey all over again.
Enjoy your little ones everyone and I sincerley hope that all your dreams, wishes and hopes come true. Continue loving being a mum and tackling the endless challenges our little ones throw at us.
Dan I'm so sorry to hear that. This place won't be the same without you hun. I'm going to miss you.
I hope that you aren't leaving because of somebody's comment. I left for a little while after Ellie's birth as a few things upset me but then decided that I shouldn't let that stop me from chatting to all the other wonderful ladies on this forum.
Anyway I really hope you do pop in from time to time and let us know how you are going. Take care gorgeous and look after yourself.
Oh Dan You are going to be greatly missed. Please come and keep us updated on your preg and Livvy. We will all miss you here, and i honestly value every one of you in here as such great friends, and only wished I lived closer so I could meet you all. Take Care, and I hope in the future you feel that you can come back to BB.
Oh no Dan!! You can't go!!!! Add me to msn if you want sarah@cherry-pie.com.au It is usually on all day but you have to be lucky to catch me these days but it would be nice to have the occasional chat.
Sorry I don't come on here much girls Having 2 is more challenging than I thought it would be and I am feeling a little overwhelmed, I even have Juz here to help me out and I still can't handle it. We are going to Adelaide for the weekend (we were going to go to the cricket but someone forgot to buy tickets, not me ) hopefully the change of scenery will do some good and then Juz goes back to work. How easily you forget that the baby wants to be glued to the breast all hours of the day and night and scream if you don't oblige. Xavier is at least gaining weight rapidly with all the feeds He is such a skinny mini except for his fat head with chubby cheeks and double chin.
I'll try to do some sort of personals now...
Sangie, Noah has been in a single bed since 12 months, as a little trick to the side rails, you can use a swim noodle under the sheet along the side of the bed. I use a rolled up blanket because I can't be bothered buying a noodle. We have woken up to find Noah hanging out of his bed twice though.
Tan, is Al back home yet? I bet you will be happy when he gets back! How you are able to manage posting on BB with 2 kids under 2 is beyond me, you'll have to tell me your secret.
Michelle, I LOVE the Thomas rug from Spotlight! How silky is it? I want to get that for Noah but already bought the street one when it was $30 down from $80. I bet Angus is really pleased with his room.
Lulu, how cute is it listening to the little ones talk? Someone intentionally set fire to the national park? Some people are idiots! Hope you were able to get your washing done.
D, I was right too Boy fever!!!
Kass, hope you get your BFP soon! Don't worry about people stereotyping you, they are probably just jealous they didn't start early too, I know I am
Well that is as far back as I can see so WOOT for me, I better go shower and start on the housework and packing before Master Xavier starts screaming the house down again!

Dan, I will speak to you on MSN MIssy. I'm not gunna let you get far! xxx
I had my 2nd scan today, and yes we are still having a boy which is great. Definitely a willy this time!
But I need to have a repeat scan in 2 weeks. They claim its cos they couldnt get a clear enough view of the skin to make sure it covers the whole body. I hope its nothing to worry about
Dan we will miss you but I have to say I probably won't be too far behind. I will pop in here and my other babies thread, plus maybe cloth and that's all. So glad I can still catch you on msn though gorgeous - take care of you, your gorgeous bub and tiny tot!
Sarah - I neglect house and family and hence why I will be dramatically cutting back if not leaving altogether.
Hello to everyone else and will be back in the next few days.
