Kirra, that sucks! Hope that you feel better soon.
I had to go in to the doctors this morning as when I got up to feed Lily at night I was really faint & short of breath & again when I got up this morning! I was really scared as I couldn't breathe. As soon as I got to the dr's I was put in the treatment room.y breathing went back to normal but was still a little faint. Had an ECG & everything was fine, no signs of clots or anything so its a mystery. Having bloodtests on Mon/Tues so will find out if anything is wrong at my appt. on Thurs. Hope it was just a one off & I'm fine because it was really bad!
The girls are doing well - Lily my chunka is starting to roll - should be easy as she is so round! hahaha! I love it. She is such a smiley, happy baby. No dramas from her! Piper is being a bit of a terror though. Lots of screaming back, opening the fridge & the pantry, taking off the baby gate from the laundry! no wonder I'm not well!
Oh yeah, I've started making baby name bracelts if anyone is interested. I made one for Lily for her Christening & one for Pip (because I couldn't make one for Lily & not for Piper!) & had a couple of people ask me to make them some so thought why not start selling them - I enjoy doing them & the extra cash is good too. I use sterling silver alphabet beads, sterling silver beads & clasps as well as swarovski crystals & pearls. Baby size is $60 & toddler size is $80. Am happy to quote anyother size. If you would like to see a pic, let me know!
Ok, I'm off to rest!
Hope everyone is well

Hi!
Hope you're all well!!!
Natasha - Sorry to hear you were off to the dr's. Do you think it may be anxiety related?? I sometimes get heart palpitations and stuff and I'm pretty sure it's just anxiety...
The bracelets sound fantastic!! Not sure my boys would appreciate them though - LOL!!!
So glad the girls are well!!
Kirra - Sorry to hear about the mastitis! Remember you'll wean a little at a time so hopefully you won't end up with mastitis again...I hope your move went well!! Sorry to hear Charli didn't like her cereal! They're still so little - plenty of time!
Shell - Wow - you sound like your doing so well with all that's in your schedule! Well done for persisting with bf! Sounds like your bubs are doing really well!
We're well! Ethan's my little lightweight - at his 4m check he only just reached 6kg! LOL! All my boys have been fairly small though. I've started solids with him but he's not really that fussed. He has a couple of spoons at brekky and at dinner as well...It doesn't seem to have upset him or anything he just doesn't like chewing it...
He's settled down a lot and is even sleeping a bit earlier in the night which is great although the last couple of nights he's wanted to play in the middle of the night!! He's not really rolling around - he's too lazy for that! LOL! But he's started to giggle a bit when we tickle him and he loves "talking" to us all the time which is very cute! He's very strong on his feet and can stand up with us just holding his fingers!
Hello to everyone else! I've missed to much to catch up and I'm meant to be doing housework!!
Oh and Kirra, I'm having an open house at my home on the Saturday the 04th April to show the new catalogue for Total Learning...no pressure to buy or anything like that but I'd love to meet you!! There will be qutie a few people here with young kids as well so thought it might be nice..(some from BB as well) It's from 2-4pm - let me know if your interested and I'll give you my address!
Of course, anyone else is welcome if they want to travel to Cranbourne North also!!
Otherwise we MUST organise a date to catch up!!!! (after you've settled in of course)
Ok...better go and put some washing away...Chat later!

Hi Ladies
Good to hear from you Kristy, thought it was only me & Kirra Left in here!
How cute little Ethan must be, only 6kgs! Lily is so big! Isn't it amazing how different each baby is even compared to their brothers or sisters!
Feeling heaps bettertoday. Kristy, the doctor asked if I suffered from anxiety but I on't! Nothing to stress about at all, so its weird. Wsh it was at least then I'd know what it was!
Kirra - Are you feeling better? I hope so. I've only ever had a slight blocked duct so don't even want to imagine how much pain you were in, you poor thing!
Ok, I'm outta here - its hard to type with Piper lying on me while I type! My eternally naked girl!
Ciao xxx

Hi
Hi there !
I am a newbie - I have 2 girls - one almost 3yo and a 4 1/2 month old... not sure if there are many people on the thread but am keen to compare notes and experiences with those in similar situations!
:)
-
Hi!
Mak - Welcome to the forum! Congratulations on your 2 gorgeous girls!!
I have a 3 1/2yo, nearly 2yo and 4 1/2mo - all boys!! I think it's a bit quiet in here because we're all soooo busy, as I'm sure you are as well!!
Natasha - Glad your feeling better!
Kirra - How are you going???
Hi to everyone else!
We've been well...we've been soooo busy though and I've been a bit overwhelmed at times. I think I just need a bit of time out! I haven't had a sleep in or nap for nearly 2 months and Ethans started waking a bit more overnight at the moment...plus all the running around to swimming, kinder, playgroup, friend visits + work and social stuff I think I'm just TIRED!
We have another busy week and then dh is away for the weekend camping so I've invited my girlfriends over Sat night which I'm really looking forward to! None of them have kids so it can be hard to get together with them sometimes...
Ok...better go and get the kids brekky - Ethans loving solids now and eats about 2 icecubes of dinner (pumpkin or sweet potato so far - although last night he wanted apple after it as well!!) and the equivalent in brekky (rice cereal and banana)
-
Welcome Mak
It has been very quiet in here, but like Kristie said, I guess everyone is busy! I have 2 girls too - one almost 2 1/2 & the other 4 1/2 months.
Nothing much happening here which is good! Glad the holdiays are upon us so now the only activity we will have for 2 weeks is swimming - we get a rest from playgroup dancing!
My computer is being a huge pain today so I better go & finish paying bills etc before it stops on me again!
Take it easy!

Hi all
Krisvee - I know what you mean about being busy, I never seem to be home these days.
I am very excited as we bought a house on the weekend. It is awesome. Now just have to pack .......
Logan is also waking more overnight these days, gone are the days of sleeping through. He woke and talked for at least 40 mins a couple of nights ago - at 4am!!! The only way to get him to go back to sleep in the end was to go in and feed him lOL
Hope everyone and their bubs are doing well xx
-
Hi ladies (and men if there are any)....
Im new to the forum and was hoping to meet some people!!!
I have a 3y.o daughter and a 4mth old son! My latest addition was born on 26/11/08.
Ive read a few posts but i will need to catch up to get an idea of who everyone is!
Look forward to chatting!
-
Thanks for the welcome Krisvee and Piper + Lily!
Welcome to you also Spunky Monkeys - I was also keen to have a chat - my closest girlfriend has just moved os and I miss having someone to compare notes about the kids with!
Not sure how you are all finding the siblings are getting along but it has been quite challenging here as DD1 has had a hard time adjusting. Lucky DD2 is a champ and has been a great sleeper and feeder - she really has had to be, lol.
The eldest is just getting toilet trained which has been quite interesting/messy.
We have had a few rough nights as DD1 is waking up quite regularly and looks like DD2 is having a few more feeds - ? a growth spurt not that she needs to!
I look forward to hearing how your kids are all doing also. Hope you are all having lots of sleep!
-
Welcome Spunky Monkeys and Mak.
Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Easter. We went for a trip up to Swan Hill, and the weather was so lovely. Logan gave me a great Easter present - his two bottom teeth have arrived!! I didn't even notice any irritation or problems, they were just there one day. I can't believe how sharp they are. Lucky no biting yet lol.
Mak - Logan went through a stage of feeding more often, especially at night. Just when you think you are getting used to life, something changes hehe.
Hope to hear from you all soon xx
-
Hi all, im back... :)
Welcome to Spunky Monkeys & Mac, look forward to chatting with you. I'm Kirra SAHM to my 2 girls who are 4.5yrs and 5months.
I missed so much but luckily charli is sleeping (actually i just heard her and shes playing, aarggghh) oh well i'll still try my best to catch up.
Our move went well, pretty smoothly too thank goodness, we cheaped out and moved everything ourselves in our wagon and my BIL did 2 loads on his ute so we didnt have to pay for a moving truck. yay. We settled in really quickly and had 95% of the house unpacked within a couple of days which was good, its now all done except alyssas toys which i so dont wanna do anyway. lol. New house is great though, very very nice so i am very happy.
My baby girl has started solids 3 times a day now, lil fatty screams and chucks the biggest hissy if u eat infront of her and dont share. lmao. She's been having pumpkin, broccoli, carrots, pears, banana, and weetbix but solids have really not agreed with her in the sense shes finding it very very hard to do poo's. As for sleeping well that is a long lost luxury of mine, whatever happened to my good lil girl??? She's up atleast 3-4 times a night, im praying its just her going through a growth spirt.
And my clever girl is off already, shes almost crawling :dance: she rolls around the floor like mad and is sitting unassisted for small periods of time...where did my baby girl go????
Still soldiering on with the bf, got better from the mastitis pretty quick which was good, but having some second thoughts about keeping on with it, due to the lack of sleep.
Natasha- I had a similar thing happen to me, i got really dizzy and hot and nearly fainted, i had to call out to DP to come get charli off the change table cause i was laying on the floor so i didnt fall.Turns out it was just a combo of me being overheated, dehydrated, low iron and getting up to quick. Hope your feeling better now. Those braceletes sound beautiful, if only my girls wore silver :( Thats great Lily is rolling, and i hear you on the chubba part, Charli is now over 7kg, lil fatty. hehe.
Krisvee- Sorry i missed ur party, i have been so busy and we only got the internet last week :( hopefully we'll get a chance to catch up soon though, im in cranbourne east now so right around the corner from you. I've got your mobile so i'll sms ya when alyssa goes back to kinder and heopfully we can arrange a time. Hopefully you and the boys are well.
Kylie- Congrats on the new house, hopefully your move goes smoothly.
Mak- Gl with the toilet training and i hear ya on the DD1 being horrible, alot of my attention unintentionally goes to charli these days and Alyssa gets very upset and naughty, thankfully she doesnt take it out on charli though, those 2 get on like 2 peas in a pod.:)
Hopefully i didnt miss anyone but turns out charli has decided not to go to sleep, Just got the lil devil up, i told her she was so naughty for not sleeping and she laughs at me. :wall:
Bye for now.
-
Hi Everyone, hope that you all had a great easter.
Welcome Spunky monkeys.
Congrats on the house Kylie77.
Lily got her first tooth 2 days ago! I couldn't believe it - she just came off the boob for her morning feed & were were having a giggle when I saw it! What a spin out - my quiet achiever! She has also started sleeping through the night at about 4.5 months which is great, except now Piper keeps coming into our bed at around 4am! But then Lily goes to bed by 7.30pm & I have to go in & wake her up at 10am so no complaints! She is so different to Piper in that respect!
Mak - how is the toilet training going? I started with Piper just before Lily was born & she did well but went backwards for a little while, but she is going really well now. She has been nappy free for a copule of months now. Now she just goes to the toilet on her own & calls me to help with the wiping! It's so cute - she uses her little step to climb up & balances on the seat, even though I bought her one of those seats to put on top she won't use it any more!
Kirra - Glad to hear all is good.
Kristee - Hope your party went well. I think I spell your name differently every time I type it! Sorry!
II've just set up an online store for my bracelets as I started selling a few. Hopefully I can get some business going so that I can hold off going back to my dreaded place of work!
Ok, better go & start to prepare dinner - I promised Piper she could help so it will probably take twice as long! Should be fun!
Have a good weekend!

Hi!
I haven't been getting notifications!!
We're well - I had Dylan's 2nd b'day party today which went really well!! Boys are great! Ethan seems to be settling down a little after having some sort of virus for a few days the poor little munchkin. Was very clingy and didn't sleep much so lucky Dh had the week off work or I would have really lost it I think! LOL!
Kirra - So glad to hear your move went well! Wow on bub rolling and nearly crawling! I have the laziest bubba - he still doesnt' even want to roll around! LOL! Still my first 2 were very early with everything so I'm happy to have a lazier one this time! I would love to catch up - definitely message me when you get a chance!!!
Natasha - Wow on bubs having a tooth already!!! My first 2 didn't get them until they were 1! No sign yet from Ethan...I hope it takes him a bit longer as I don't want to feed him if he's got teeth and have him bite me! LOL!
Ok...must go - a bit hello to everyone else!
Chat later!
-
Morning all!
Apologies in advance if I miss anything as am still getting the hang of persies etc!
Hope you are all going well - and managed to eat lots of chocolate over Easter. My IL's are Greek so we had 2 weekends of way too much food and excitement - my poor DD1 has had a bit of trouble understanding that chocolate is not her main food group....:redface:
Our toilet training has been a great success - pretty much all done by DD1 - despite my best efforts to stress her out about it. Gotta love Dora undies!!! We're yet to attempt night time yet - any suggestions from those experienced already????
As for the lovely little bub - I too am completely amazed at how quickly the newborn has dissappeared...she is our last bub and it is a little sad really. Funny as with DD1 I couldn't wait for each new thing but I just want it all to slow down.....
Kylieb77 - you are soooo right (and I should know by now) that things are constantly changing especially once you think you've got it sorted~! Congratulations on the house - wow you are very busy aren't you..... such a fun time too. Hopefully you are getting more sleep too.....
Piper + Lily - wow teeth!! That is way too grown up - DD1 didn't get teeth or really even move until she was 1 - hope the sleeping through is continuing. How funny that your girls know when to tag team too (it happens here quite regularly)!
Spunky Monkeys - how are your 2 going? We still have moments of unbelievable jealousy here .... I had thought it all under control until yesterday.....oh well!
Krisvee - hope your little one is better and that you have managed to recover also - takes twice as long now I reckon....hard work with clinginess too - very draining!
Alyssa's mum - You sound very organised and that you are all settled in! A big job - especially with everyone else in tow~!
Ok I'd better run as I can hear yahooing from the cot.....take care I look forward to hearing what you are all up too!!
-
Hi!
Mak - Glad to hear you had a great easter!!! Yeah on the TT! We're only just doing night trining now with my 3 1/2yo...it's going quite well - he's in pull ups and has had 2 dry nights...once he hits 7 in a row we're going to get him Kung fu panda dvd and he can wear undies to bed!! LOL!
As soon as he's sorted we're going to try day training with Dylan! I think that may be more of a challenge...LOL! But I'm so sick of spending soooo much money on nappies!! Very over it!
We're well! Most nights Ethan wakes up at some point and wants to play but he's not rolling or crawling yet so I think he's just wanting to burn off some energy - LOL! He's such a gorgeous little boy though even though he drives me crazy sometimes! LOL!
Ethan will be our last bubba as well - I always wanted to have 4 but after having 3 so close together I don't think I'll cope with another one...I'm ready to move on now and reclaim some of my life back after being p/g or bfing for over 4 years straight now! LOL!
The weather in Melb is beautiful at the moment! We're meant to be going swimming today but I so can't be bothered...too much to get done around the house I think..
Which means I best get off here and do some of it - LOL! Chat later!

Hi Ladies!
Well my last post got edited - I got a warning for posting a link to the websites where I sell my bracelets - I didn't even know it was a 'link' I'm not exactly up with all of this stuff(Hmmm, makes me sound old!) If anyone is interested in seeing them just send me a PM!
Kristie - Hey, I spelt your name right! Gonna make an effort to spell it right from now on! Glad the party went well. hey, I haven't been getting notifications either!
Mak - I'm with you on wanting Bubs to go slow this time. I got a little teary when I spotted that tooth because I could see my newborn disappearing before my eyes, solids will start soon along with stinky poo - gonn miss that breastfed poo! DH is saying that Lily is our last, but I'm hoping for at least another. Actually, when I say something about it he says, 'Im happy with my 2 girls at the moment'. Hey, so am I , it's not like I want to get pregnant now! Give me a break! I'm talking about After Lily turns 1 & a half!
Sorry, can't help with the night time training - I don't even ant to think about that yet! I was going to ask about it at Lily's 6 month MCHN appt. Glad I have LIly's appointments so I can ask about Pip as well.
My Mum & Dad are going overseas for 14 weeks in 2 weeks. The longest I haven't seen my parents for is 2 weeks! Help! They are going back to the 'motherland'(ha!) for their 45th wedding anniversary. Last time they went was for their 25th & I got to go too because I was 9! I want to go too! Piper keeps saying she wants to go with them. She is realkly goinbg to miss her Grams & Pop!
Anyway, better go & do all my other internet chores. Am currently searching for wireless broadband proviser that isn't telstra - any recommendatiuons from you ladies?
ok, ciao ladies & babies

It seems to be getting a bit busier in here lately. Hi everyone :)
Natasha - Logan has two teeth as well. He got his just before Easter. I looked in his mouth one night and there was a split there. He had no teething signs at all. The next day the tooth was through, and the second one came a day later.
Try Exetel for interet they have great deals and fantastic off peak times and download amounts
Kristie - I am also enjoying this Melbourne weather. Logan is a bit like Ethan, he doesn't roll over properly either. I can't even get him to have tummy time at the moment as the minute I put him on his tummy he immediately rolls onto his back. Then he happily plays on his back. He hasn't managed to roll from his back to his front yet.
Mak - Great news on the TT - can't help you at all as I haven't got to that stage yet LOL. I agree, our little bubs are growing up before our eyes. Yet I love this stage, they are so interactive - giggling, talking, grabbing it's a lovely change to be able to play properly with our babies.
Kirra - Glad to hear the move went well. That is something I have to look forward to now, just got to start packing. Our settlement is 27th May. We just heard today that our finance is unconditionally approved YAY!! Logan has also started solids. We are following the Baby Led Solids approach which is all finger foods, no purees etc. It can be a bit messy but it is great. Logan's favourite food atm is kiwi fruit!
Hi to everyone else that i have missed, i'm off to enjoy this beautiful day.
