all your cats a beautiful Kim. hope your having a great time with MIL. we are off to the zoo tomorrow it will be interesting to see what Emelia thinks of all the animals
just got a sms from one of my friends i have been waiting for her birth annoucement for so long cos they didnt find out the sex and im so impatient!! they had a baby girl this morning!! Sienna Louise 6pd 13oz, cant wait to go see them, they have a son aswell the same age as Emelia, we actually met in antenatel classes when i was pregnant with Emelia. okay ill shhh now!!
happy belated birthday ann. I'm sorry to hear that you aren't travelling too well hun. being pregnant with twins is hard enough without having Graves disease as well.
Hi everyone else.... i'm about, just my lap top is sick, and I hate sitting on the computer in the study. so you might not "see" alot of me until I get it back.
Kim - We went to Melbourne Zoo. Ella liked it. She especially liked the Elephants and the prarie dogs. She didnt seem to notice the rest. But she loved being outside.
Ella loves my MIL too. its so sweet to see. At first i was a bit jealous but now with twins - OMG i thank god Ella loves her.
Jols - we gave up our cat too. it was hard as well but he went to a lady who's kids had all left home and had just recently divorced. So he'll be happy. He was peeing and pooing in Ella's things all the time.
Vicky - hope the laptop comes back soon and so do you!
Blanche - How are leigh and Emelia?
About to take a photo of our 6wk scan to put up on the blog. You guys can see the two little suprises! Ella's been just pushing and pushing me today. So I put her to bed early and she's still asleep 2hrs later. She must have been tired.
Next week I'm at the Twins clinic at the hospital and then I go in again to have bloods and then again to the Thyroid clinic. I may as well be living there!
So tried and sick today. Couldnt hold down dinner last night and lost b'fast this morning. Bring on 12WKS i say!
Yay Emelia!!!
Sorry about your pg troubles Ann! I know how stressful it is, and that 12 week mark isnt far away. i had no end of trouble in those first 12 weeks with chino. take it easy.
feeling soooooooooooooooo much better today, really back on top of things!! Hooray!
i got my hair done today!! Feels and looks really good...well i think so anyhow! Went out alone with Craig tonight for tea, then went to the club and won $50 on the pokies!
Chelsea is loving having Grandma here....been a real blessing and an angel....oh come Tuesday she will be my lil horror again..
Jasmine is crawling too!!!! Only small distances but its a start....proud of my girls!
WTG Emelia...
Im so not a good mummy..Chelsea has no interest in the potty..and i sure as hell have no motivation to try either...some one tell me off.
yay Tara feelin on top of things..thats great news! Hows Chino and big sister Evie getting along?
kim - Chelsea will let you know when she is ready to start. don't stress about it. definately not worth it. we have a potty in the bathroom, that aston sits on if he wants to - has only done a wee once in it, and that was more accidental then anything else. I'm waiting for the warmer weather before I even consider it.
Tara - glad you are feeling more on top of things hun
Ann - how you doing?
Blanche - clever girl emelia.
Jols - how you feeling? how's your new moderating hat?
gigi - hi hun. how are things with DH?
Nelly - Hidey ho
Christy - packing yet?
sorry its short and sweet. I feel like cr@p. aston is sick AGAIN... cold that has become croup. ended up at the hospital friday night, and he is on predisone, which I so hate giving him, but is the only thing that works. he is so miserable................ and I feel horrid.
things are better with evie - she's a smart kid and knows what the deal is, she just likes to push it. but she's worked out she can give everyone kisses and "gentle pats" and the house is a lot happier lol
Re: Potty Training
Unless your toddy is showing a real interest in using the toilet and is realising when they need to go or that they've already gone - there's no point in toilet training. Once they are ready, you go hard at doing it for like a week and they'll get it. if they're not ready it will take so much longer.
Just what i've learnt, so don't feel bad Kim - evie's not really interested either. she was a while ago but then worked out it was too much like hard work! lol
Keep talking about it and there's heaps of books you can read in the mean time about using the potty etc
Tara thats right, Matilda wasn't interested at all after her little stint of TT at 20 months, she did a week of poo's in the toilet & we caught most wee's but then she got sick & reverted back & didn't catch the idea of TT again until she was 3 yrs old.
Thanks girls for asking about the packing. We've decided (long and hard) to rent the house out, so that means less stress now! WOOT! It means we've decided to move in the 2nd birthday week so the 1st week of November, so we don't have to worry about selling the house, and settlement etc. We have a few months to get it presentable for renting and then we just have to find somewhere to rent (which we were already going to do) and then go from there. So packing can take its time over the next 2 months whew.... and I can relax a bit now. We've had a garage sale, and done the front yard, we've also done a huge council clean up so now there isn't much left to do! I have to go pick up the hammock and my sling from someone else and then I have to go to Sydney for a long weekend and find a house to rent with 2 kids and 2 dogs.... LOL just a little thing.
woo hoo christy on not having to sell! hope you find a house in sydney easily
Kim- my nappies arrived this morning they are gorgeous thankyou thankyou, but i do have one complaint!!!...my maid wasnt in the package will she be arriving soon
Vicky - hope Aston is well again soon poor little guy.
well our trip to Perth zoo saturday was fun not! both my kids were a nightmare, the day started off great Jack happily slept in the pram and Emelia was happy looking at the animals,then i have no idea what happened...Jack wouldnt settle screaming, wouldnt take a bottle, dummy anything...Emelia was becoming a little devil running off and sitting on the floor screaming when we held her hand then screamed even louder when we tried putting her back in the pram...i nearly had a mummy meltdown in the lions viewing area lol everyone was staring but i couldnt have cared less i just wanted to leave!! so we went home only having seen half the zoo, and im not planning on going back anytime soon think ill stick to our litte zoo here in mandurah
Feeling better today. Had the weekend from hell. Sick a few times each day.... sound like a bloody broken record.
I'm fed up.
Ella is good. She's been a pain in the evenings but when I tell her off she screams and comes crawling back and tries to put her head in my lap. Poor sausage I give into her everytime.
No where near potty training here. Ella denies she's ever doing a wee or poo.
Kim - Woohoo on the hair. I should have done that for my b'day but forgot! oops.
Blanche - Sorry to laugh at your nightmare at the zoo. But its good to hear other kids do have meltdowns (not just Ella) I have ladies look at me as if i'm such a bad mum.
Going to the twins clinic tomorrow for the first visit. I hope we get to have another look at them. Just to see if they are there.
Good luck tomorrow Ann.
Oh Perth Zoo Blanche, many a childhood day was spent there in my youth!
Christy - what a HUGE relief for you!
Took Chino to get weighed today, he's meant to be at his birthweight (3.18kg) by tomorrow and he's 3.62!!! YAY!!!
Also good for me - put my wedding rings back on today and my pre-preg pants are falling off me! woot!!
