Vicky is on stand by awaiting a SMS for the big news to share with you all and make an announcement for me....im hoping i wont keep u much longer babe!

Jols hope DH is better....the runs is the worst!!

Hope all the sleep issues have been resolved (sorry i cant member who it was... Christy i think?)

Tara sounds like Evie is getting the sleeping down pat at last!!

Chelsea has been good... still waking 1-2 times a night...but only takes 5-10 mins to get her back down again. Keeps say Uh Oh all the time no matter what she has done!

[taralee]

Oh Kim you sure did speak to soon! she would not go down tonight and after half an hour of screaming daddy had the magic arms (please evie, stab me in the guts one more time)

[visitor1]

Ouch... im sorry Tara....

Daddy in this house has no choice but to be the magic arms lately..been to hard to get out of bed to settle.

kimbaz, send me an email on g.j@internode.on.net and i'll email you my mobile #, i'd love to get a text about the birth of your bub!

we had a flying fox playground picnic lunch for my stepdaughter's birthday today, first time outdoors for a month, felt good to be outside. DH had a game for the kids, tying chocolate on string to a wooden rod, the kids lay down on picnic rug, with hands behind their back, and had to "fish" for the chocolate! so simple, they loved it!

bilbs had her playpen on the stubble (i can't call it grass, not in this drought!!) and i made a salad that hardly anyone ate cos the flying fox was just too big a drawcard!!!! oh well, they all had fun.

Dad dad is now joined by Nnnn, nnn, so i think "nan nan" won't be long!

I'm looking at getting some leather soled baby paws soon too, when i can find a shop that has purple ones with the velcro do up tabs. Many shops stock that brand, but not the whole range. bilbs isn't walking yet, but i feel it's just round the corner.

what "nesting" games are you playing now Kim??? how cute with Chelsea's Uh Oh's, that sounds so funny. I dyed everything in sight, purple, just before i went into labour. Became a compulsive fabric dyer!!!!

[visitor1]

Gigi-have emailed ya!

I loooove flyiing foxes...they are so good...i like the chocolate game too!

Ya know.. ive never been much of a nester....i had one day 2 weeks ago where i went crazy and cleaned the house top to bottom, ironed all the kids clothes, cleaned bathrooms, made yummy foods...and then it stopped.

Chelsea is at care today and hubby and i were thinking bout going to the movies. I know for sure im getting my hair chopped....car seat installed and a few lay-bys out!!

Have a good day all

[Olive]

well hubby is all better, well i think he is!! he's gone to work today

blanche how exciting for thursday, boy thats gone fast!!!

kim will pm you my mobile number!!

tara grrr at daddy, but i guess if it works but still grrrrrrrr

tell me why are babies programed to wake at teh same time no matter what time they go to bed????
we went to my folks for tea last night so bed was 9.45 so you may think she would sleep longer, NOOOOOO she didnt 5am!!! so feed her and back to bed til 7.30am, she currently screaming at the dog through the sliding door with her face pressed against the glass, so cute!!

[visitor1]

LOL....how cute is Sophie!!

I'll add your mobile number Jols as soon as i get your PM!

I've wondered the same thing re sleep/waking times...Chelsea is waking earlier each day....but still wontr get up til 730-8. She just lays there from about 630 each day.

[Olive]

im blaming the light early mornings and the bloddy bird chirping grrrrrrrrrrrr

[christy]

WOW sleeping until 6.30, what a dream. Stupid birds thats all I have to say. Jovie woke up at 4.30am this morning & cat napped until 5.30am.... BUT she went to bed at 8pm and didn't wake up until 4.30... so that was a bonus for us!

I'm sick too atm, have a cold and my sinus feel like they are packed with peanut butter.

[taralee]

AJP i know! evie is up every morning at 5!!!!! and cute miss sophie yelling at the dog!
this morning she went back to bed at 730 and has been asleep since. We were up every 2 hours last night!! but her head felt a bit warm so i think it's her teeth.
DH read a post the other day as in convinced DH stands for Dumb Husband so is giving me grief lol
evie says 'goh' (gone) and puts her hands up in a shrug when she drops something. too cute

[Olive]

ha evies so cute!! and DEAR HUSBAND!!!

wow christy that was a good sleep!!

were cutting two upper teeth at the moment!! clever girl!!!
anyone tried teething necklaces??????? do they work

[*EmJa*]

I know wat u mean AJP Emelia went to bed at 9.30 and still woke at 5.30! (among with all the other times through the night!)
wat are teething necklaces?
Emelia has 2 top teeth now but they are not the middle ones but the ones next to where the middle ones go (did that makes sense?) she looks like a vampire!!

Kim - that sounds like a good day u got planned, have fun!! DP is home today sick :/ Emelia loves him home!

Gigi - i got white ones for Emelia and the other colour they had was pink. purple is my fav colour but they didnt have any in purple!

when we first put them on her she would take huge steps it looked so funny she didnt understand y they were following her lol

[visitor1]

We have 2 bottom teeth, 2 huge top teeth in the middle and 2 little teeth on either side (Emelias vampire ones..LOL)

Hope Leigh gets better Blanche....

We must be lucky, no birds chirp around here...and Chelsea's room doesnt get to bright of a morning...M2's room is always dark no matter what time u go in there. Our room....argh...5am and its lit up so bright!

Tara Chels shrugs her shoulders too, it seems when she has no idea what your saying to her she does it.... like as if to say WTF?

Such character kids we all have!

Right now im off for the day ladies...i hope you have a great day and get lotsa napping kiddies!

[Olive]

we only have the one bottom left tooth, the up the top the top two left ones are coming through, so no teeth on the right yet!!!

[tiggerandpooh]

hiya girls...

have fun at the movies Kim. waiting for your text!!! send me a piccie though ok - maybe I will be able to put it up on here...
Jols - sophie is too busy growing hair to worry about teeth
How you doing Nelly?
Blanche - i can't believe that it is time for your first scan already!! this is going fast!
Gigi - sounds like u had fun at the party. it was DH birthday party on Saturday and I ran around getting stuff organised for the night. we had a good night though.
Tara - sleep - I've come to the conclusion that Aston will sleep through when HE wants to - not the other way round.... please let it be soon though lol

Aston is cruising around, and taking steps hanging onto one of my hands now...not far til he is doing it by himself though. He will stand and clap, and dance, and has terrific balance.

Me - hanging in there, taking each day one at a time... and breathing in and out....

catch u all later - off to pick kids up for swimming training!

[nelly]
