Oh Sophie...YUMMY!! LOL
Kim how are you going today? any sleep last night?
Ann I can't find you!!!
Vicky Friday is good for me we'll catch up today or tmrw to plan - make sure you haven't double booked!
I am having fun on facebook too Tara, and I am still figuring it out ... sometimes I can be totally clueless with that kind of stuff!
Jols - Jake had one the other day I was quick enough only to get the wings, the body went crunch crunch crunch!
How is everyone else???
Eww Sophie!! nice breakfast hehe
last night i got up to get a drink and there was a huntsman spider on the wall i screamed and ran (i hate spiders) i woke up Leigh and he killed it...i couldnt sleep for ages thinking there would be more and crawl all over me LOL
hmmmm nelly - double book moi?? never lol... was thinking about heading somewhere where there is water because its so hot. what do u think?
Aston I think is a frog - he LOVES bugs lol... if he is outside, he is a cow, and eats grass and dandilions... protein and greenery - thank god do far he hasn't put anything in his mouth that is going to hurt him! he is the most oral of my three - EVERYTHNG goes in the mouth -like a human vacuum!
Fingers crossed kim that there is movement at the station for you...
off to swimming training - oh the things I do as a mum...
Blanche i hate spiders too except i freeze.. oh i feel sick thinking about those hairy legs
Kim hope something's happening for you!
i think i am just taralee on facebook
No i'm under Taralee Tancredi, theres a pic of me on the last day of my honeymoon...what a terrible time we had! Never EVER go to Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island..oh so terrible
Please note: I am the original (and quite possibly the best) Taralee
Nope M2 is being stubborn and decided mum's tummy is the best place to stay and refusing to vacate. Had my doula come over today and told her i was gunna find a stick and break my waters.....she didnt think was such a great idea...lol.
lol kim - I remember that feeling Jake was 10 days late and I just wanted him out!
oh that's good that you're the ONLY taralee, i will try and find you
went looking for Luaa, and there were 65 names that came up under her name!!!!
Doing a fertility dance for you Kim!!!
So has everyone on this thread (except me) been training their baby to sleep thru the night, without a feed? It had never occurred to me to do that. Am i having another one of those "first time mums who know nothing" moments?
We have school holidays here in our state, so bilby has been getting to know her stepsister (big age gap), they are quite cute together. If only i could shake this darn gastro! Haven't left the house for over a week now.
Gigi I haven't tried any night training. I probably won't... I tried with Matilda for 3 years, and everytime something changed in her life she stopped sleeping again & it drove me nuts, so with Jovie I'm not bothering trying because I don't want to go through the disappointment lol. Its just my experience with a non sleeper and Matilda would have us up for hours and hours at night.
Gigi I'm really not all that fussed...I'm at the point now where I feel guilty no matter what i do..i feel guilty for rocking her to sleep and guilty for trying to get her to go to sleep on her own.
I was reading in a mag yesterday and they were debating routines vs no routines for baby and the woman saying babies should have routines said (among more crap) that babies who have a routine dont suffer from reflux or separation anxiety. Evie's had pretty much the same routine since birth and has/had both! what a git
Haha. I'm on the BellyBelly group so if you want to find me i'm that list.
Luu is a REALLY common surname like Jones! hang on DH is a Jones. D'oh!
Ella doesnt always sleep through the night Gigi. But she doesnt feed either. She wakes up from nightmares when she loses her dummy or gets her leg caught in the cot...
Today Ella started to whistle! so funny!
AJP - yummy moth wings eh? :) That's a story for the 21st Birthday.
Ann
LUAA - i couldn't find the belly belly group. when i typed belly belly into the search box, i found Kelly Zantey's personal facebook, but not one for the group.
well i found you TARALEE - amongst over 100 taralees!!!!! makes Luaa's 63 entries look not so bad!!!
Tara - i think you live with guilt the moment you conceive! i feel so guilty the way bilby is not knocking back solids the way other babies her age are, she can't cope with ANY lumps. Let alone a MOTH young Sophie darling! LOL
i have FINALLY found a savoury baby food that bilbs will swallow with not TOO much of a face, chicken with rice and veg (as long as i leave out the whole peas). Hurray, after trying EVERY type of savoury food available in all those little tins and jars. I thought mealtimes wouldn't be a battle until she was a toddler - haaa! what did i know?
I've got gastro atm (sorry for TMI) and i've noticed bilbs is having much longer feeds now i'm sick. She still looks fit as the proverbial fiddle.
Bilbs is doing lots of things in her playpen that show me she is practicising walking skills, it's so cute.
Her Gran, who has never seen her, referred to bilby as a big baby the other night on the phone. i know of bubs half bilbs age, the same weight. i don't know why, but it really bugged me, to have this grandmother, who shows very little interest in our girl, say this. Mainly cos it's not true, and even if it was, she's our lovely bub and we'd love her no matter what. Over protectiveness beginning early i guess. i don't know, it was the tone of her voice.
the paradox is, her other grand-daughter, two months older, who lives close by, is actually a large bub (but still very cute). I don't make a thing of that bub (our niece) being big, so why should this Gran make a thing about our bub's size.
Yes, add that to the list Taralee, i feel guilty often, cos bilbs doesn't have grandparents. The only one she has is a plane ride away and not interested.
well I have found you ann and sent a request, but can't find you tara - I can't figure the search friends bit out, and I can't find you gigi either.
Gigi I know exactly what you mean about no grandparents I have none, and Darren's parents are interstate and of them his Mum is really the only genuinely interested one.
DH is in Sydney for a couple of days so am looking forward to the weekend when he is home and I can take some itme out - Jake is so much fun atm but I need some nelly time.
Gig try the heinz organics pumpkin spinach and ricotta - when jake went through a not eating stage that was all he'd eat!
hope all are ok!!!
Yep i've added you Nelly. YOu can find Gigi on my list. I cant find tara either...
Ella's grandparents (on DH's side) is great. My mum is not very interested - i wonder if its because she doesnt want to get too close since she's in Melbourne and were in Sydney.
Well we had a decent nights sleep last night and woke up at 7am. Thank you ella! Today we're off to the march for Burma protest in the city. I've read a lot about the history of Burma and they are beautiful peaceful people but the violence and oppression from the Military government has taken all this beauty and peace away.... (i could go on..)
Ann
its funnu sophie will eat a moth but still not keen on too many lumps in her dinner!!! take casserole for example, i pureed the bugger out of it but she still finds the bits she doesnt like and th ewhole mouthfull comes back out!!!
GIGI we find if all esle fails avocado works a treat, she'll eat that all day if i let her.
made some fruit gels the other night with peach pieces in it, workes well and tasty, also made casserole, chicken and vegies, plain mixed vegies, chicken and pasta, and mushroom pasta. she also loves spag bol!!
im not on facebook, not even going to look!! plenty of other things i should be doing like sewing instead of even bennon here!!
sophie went down early last night at 6.30pm and woke at 5.00am!! far too early so fed her and she slept til 8.30 which i really appreciated as im buggered.
sophies getting very bold, cruising everywhere which is scary, getting into things she shouldnt!!
well i think ive talked enough of us, sorry!!!
so how is everyone!?!?!?
ANN have fun today!!
GIGI so what you think is right not what everyone else thinks is
TARA hows my beer buddy?? i had one last night!!
VICKY how ar you honey!!
KIM any news yet??
BLANCH how the tum going, any M/S yet??
Cheers AJP, nice work, taking one for the team :)
Gigi - have you tried those mesh dummies? you can put everything in there and they dont get the lumps. they're great
I've decided to black out evie's windows today on-account-a (angela anaconda anyone?!) she is up the minute that sun comes through her window which is usually before 5 and once she's up - thats it! However...what for it! 7.5 HOURS LAST NIGHT!!!! Unbelievable!!!! she went to bed at 8 (took me 45mins to get her down mind you) then had a little cry at 9 and 10 but just needed a little pat and dummy back in then slept til 330! i couldnt believe it! then she was up at 5 so maybe she got all the sleep she needed in that time! who knows!! anyways! sleep may be getting better :pray: cos i am so tired and putting her in bed with us just wrecks my back
woohoo miss evie!!! big sleeps for a big girl well done!!
well done to mummy too!!!! god you must feel like you've just slept for 12 hrs+
we too are looking at blocking out sophies window its so light here that and the bloddy birds chirping!! but daylight saving starts here soon, so will get darker again in the mornings
what can you use to block it - we have blind and a curtain and he still wakes!
We have mastered stairs - going is up is a dream coming down has it's moments!
I found Tara on gigi's list...
Can everyone send Vicky a group hug :hugs: - not gong into details but I think she really needs one!
kisses to all my singer is awake!
ps we had a fun time this morning rang poisons line for the first time cos Jake fished the dishwasher tabs dox out of recycling and was chewing it PANIC!!!! but he was fine. *sigh* just the beginning!
Yikes!!! I'd be freakin' Nelly!
We are using alfoil to cover the window. just spray on a bit of water and it sticks real good like. Shes got a blind and sun-blocker curtains too!
had to Tara after our face plant down the stairs last week and a bleeding nose! He sees the staris and runs (well crawl-runs) straight to them!
How hot is it today!!!!!!??!!!!!
nelly is vicky ok?????
Big :hugs: Vicky...hope everything is alright, thinking of u.
AJP - no morning sickness here (yay)! getting a lot of cravings this time around though. Tummy getting bigger! :)
Arghh hadnt finished (stupid keyboard)
Nelly, Emelia loves stairs, everytime we go to my mums house she races towards them! she will turn around and look at us, as if to say "wat!" she knows shes not allowed!
Tara - we were going to put alfoil on the windows too just havent got around to it..but thanks for the tip about water never knew that..
Kim - hope all is going good :)
Ann - hehe how clever is Ella whistling!
Gigi - hope the gastro passes soon. im on face book too under Blanche Marriott
Going alright here..Emelia still getting over her cough and conjuntivits. She is walking alot more now she is still crawling the most (As she gets to places faster!) but each day she will walk further and getting into EVERYTHING! so bizare to see her stand up in the middle of the room and just walk off! i would like to get her weighed again i think she has lost weight, shes looking slimmer and her clothes are abit looser!
Blanchie yay for no more m.sickness! how far are you now?
Im 10 weeks and 1 day! going so quick this time..i have my first scan on the 11th cant wait :)
hmmmmm am getting clucky
mmmmmmmmm me too!!!
*hugs* Vicky :( :(
Thanks you lovely ladies - i wish i relay to you all just how timely those hugs were. on top of everything that has been going on with my Kids - my mother has decided to put her twopenneth in, and kick me a little more... far out - what is going on?? Just got a terse email from her too.... so over all of this...
ok - mantra - what doesn't kill me makes me stronger - what doesn't kill me makes me stronger....
no - i haven't gone stark raving mad - trying very hard not too... you know how when you as person start to fly, and good things start happening for you, after a period of not so good times - that people around you get P!ssed off about it and try and bring you down... I think that's what is going on at the moment...
Enough ranting and raving from me...
Kim - any movement at the station yet??? I haven't had a texxt from you yet...
Blanche - I can't believe you are 10 weeks!!! your nearly a third of the way!
Nelly - thanks for the group hug, I felt it I really did :)
Gigi - mother guilt... I am queen of it!
Christy - what's going on with you?
Ann - Is ella putting on weight now?
Jols- I'm ok... just treading water very fast
Tara - thx for your text - was driving when I got it.
I hope I haven't missed anyone - sorry if I have.. :)
well i have decided to close down my online half of my store :( just cant do it any more :( i had a problem with something i sold and it has tipped me over the edge, so no more!! i gave it ago but just have more important things to worry about than keeping everyone happy.
VICKY hope everything sorts it self out for you, grrrrrrrrrrrrr to the ex and hugs to you and your beautiful family
Oh Jols *hugs* it must have been very hard to keep up with it too, we love the bib we have here, just gorgeous!
Vicky I hope you get some reprieve matey.
Us... well Miss Jovie will NOT sleep. During the day I spend hours trying and she spends hours fighting it. Usually she will collapse, yesterday it wasn't until 3pm though... today she fell asleep in the car at 9.30am!!! But woke up as soon as I parked the car :(. She is taking hours to get to bed at night too now. And waking once or twice, man its exhausting. Finally Matilda sleeps well once in bed, and Jovie doesn't. I hope its some developmental thing because I'm over fighting sleep & then whinging for hours about it.
Oh Christy I hope you have a good night. I've found sleep phases come and go and change so often that i cant even keep up. Hang in there, it'll pass..they always seem to
Vicky remember that we're never given anything to deal with that we cant handle :)
Jols - sorry about your online store, i'm sorry i didnt buy anything from it :(
I was reading a story today about milk banks and how there;s one in perth and the only other one is in a private hospital on the gold coast..so i was thinking maybe i should do it. i am a cow after all...
Oh that sounds interesting Tara. I'd give it a shot.
Christy - you poor thing. Its a struggle isnt it when they dont sleep. Its not like we can reason with them.
Vicky - you've had such a bad run of luck. Sorry to hear your mum's being a pain. Family can be blunt sometimes (even if they mean well). Haven't weighed Ella for a while so i'll let you tomorrow as we're heading out to find a dress for a wedding.
AJP - any side effects from eating the moth? They're a delicacy in some countries!
Nelly - GOD what a scare. Is he OK?
We'll we had a good day. Went to our march and shouted and ella grizzled for the cause. She didnt eat very well as we were on the go the whole time and i was shoving food into her mouth as we were walking. She was constantly grazing for 2hrs.
She's started kissing me which is really cute. She kisses my chest and leg (dont know why) but its a soft closed mouth kiss. ahhhhh
Ann
Ann what were you doing up at 1am! goodness me! Can't believe Ella's is 11 months! I just wrote to a friend today that Evie will be 1 next month...i nearly died!!
Excuse me but 8 HOURS LAST NIGHT!!! holy cow!! Sorry, Christy i'm not trying to rub it in, believe me, i am just so chuffed that we're getting more than 3 hours at a time! only downside is that once she;s awake at like 3/4 she doesnt really want to go back to sleep so we've been up at 5 these last couple of days. i put a pillow and blanket on the floor and go back to sleep and she plays for a while but gets pretty sick of it. I only blocked out one window yesterday cos i didnt think much light came through the other one but obviously i was wrong!
Kim - any news yet?....well, i guess if there's was you wouldnt reply to this post anytime soon!
haha. I thought id have a nap yesterday at 4 and that meant i couldnt get to sleep.
Yeah it's hit me too. I cant believe i'm orgainising her first birthday for next month.
Ella slept well last night. She was completely upside down when i went in to check on her. For a baby that isnt crawling she sure gets around her cot!
On Wednesday my manager asked me if i wanted more kids. Of course i said yest. Then he asked me to give him a date of when i'd be pregnant again!!! i said i didnt feel comfortable telling him since it would affect his plans for my position.... In the end he said "oh right well I guess its a personal thing but make sure you tell us when you are pregnant" - Like What -the-h3ll!!
Ann
How rude is ur manager Ann!
Glad Evie slept well for ya Tara...wish Emelia would its been months since she slept through :(
Christy - hope u had a better night?
HI all!
Yep ann he is ok - lucky he only chewed the end of the box - it irritated his lips a bit but that was all.
Well we had an earlier bed last night - by 6 - and he slept until 630 which is totally unheard of! But in the middle of that he did wake at 8 and 1030 screaming. THe first time was I think because his curtain was blowing in the breeze and second time no idea... night terrors? I just dunno....
Christy if you want to go and paddle at pandanus beach give me a yell - i just have to do the grocery shopping today. Not sure what the tides are doing tho and the kiddie could be paddling in mud - not that they'd care!
Hoorah Darren is home from Sydney I miss him so much when he is away.
ohoh Jake took a step on his own yesterday - just one before he fell down - like what Aston is doing I think VIcky.
Kim how is the bubba? I still have 13 days before I win the guess so hang in there! Is is stinking hot your way bcos that makes it soooo much worse.
*sigh* looking at how quickly your pgs are going is making me really think baout no 2. mentioned it to DH and he said shame you have to go throuh the whole pregnancy tho and it takes so long! WTF?!? Like he does anything???
