Zander will be 2 on the 28th of November.....we are having some very trying times at the moment with his behaviour eg. tantrums/screaming/crying/not eating what he doesnt want to eat....things seem like they are going good and then we hit a hurdle
Anyway thanks tigger for the warm welcome....I am in a local thread where I live as I dont know many people but heaps of new people have joined the thread and older people faded away and there doesnt really seem to be much going on in there......so here I am
My apologises Nicola i missed your post...WELCOME!
Well operation big girl bed went....GOOOOOOOOOOOD! She slept all night and when i went into her room this morning (at ummm....9.25am..LOL) she was still in bed under the covers and she was so toasty warm..and no room trashed!!!
Blanche mate PND is hard. I know with Matilda, I went to the GP ad sat down... and started crying. Zoloft worked very well for me.
YAY for your scan nelly!
Welcome Nicola
Jols - I love your belly
Me: well we are in our house.... sort of. It took us 3 days to drive down here. In the meantime our removalists never turned up. They did, but 30 hours after they were supposed too, and they didn't answer their phone!! So finally they turn up. In our initial quote they said delivery within 24 - 48 hours... wellll... our stuff will get here on Saturday To top it all off, I'm sick. I got a mother of a cold that started yesterday & have been in bed (well... we don't have a bed but I'm using a friends air mattress) today.
welcome back Christy! Sorry to hear not everything went to plan! it never does! here's hoping you get over that cold quick sticks and are back on your house-moving feet
when we were moving from perth to gc i confirmed over and over and over 'our stuff will arrive on the 24th right?' well, get to the gc on the 24th..hmm...where's our stuff? ring them up..'no no..its leaving perth on the 24th..it wont be there for at least another week' WTF?!?!?! then to top it off, when it did arrive half of the stuff was smashed to pieces, ben's weights had been put on top of FRAGILE boxes, the printer was out of its box entirely! and then the guy started to unload bicycles and we were like 'ahh they're not ours' and he goes 'oh...well...do you want them anyways'?!?!?! can u believe it? anyways, after much letter writing back and forth they said we were threatening them and to cease all complaints!!!! i wish i took legal action but we really just cut our losses! d'oh!
so i hope your move was better than that Christy!!!! lol
Christy - maybe it was divine intervention. I know that its a hassle that your furniture isn't there, but at least it gives you the opportunity to get better before it arrives.
Nelly - yay!!!!!!
Kim - that's brilliant news about the bed. hope it continues
Oh no Tara...how considerate....hmmm....our neighbour has a hoon car but he is very considerate and alwasy apoligies for starting his car early every morning!

Thought I might actually write a bit about myself so Im not some strange person lurking....
I live in Townsville with hubby and the boys..we moved here for hubbys work when bub was 3mnths and Zan 15mnths so we dont have any family or friends here as they live in Brisbane which has been hard at times, especially if we want or need some time out on our own.
I have had some bad days that I know have bordered on depression (past history of depression)and even Psychosis related thoughts (which I put down to not sleeping for 8mnths)I think I have been strong and although its not recommended I have worked through the issues myself as I didnt know where to go in a new town and had enough faith in myself that I wouldnt hurt myself or my kids. Each day does get better..we had issues with Wyatt(bub) from birth with reflux/allergies/and not sleeping longer than 4 hours at a time until he was 8mnths old - breastfed till 10mnths now on Neocate allergy formula.
I was also on the Implanon implant to prevent 3 bubs under 2!!! I had the implanon taken out a few weeks ago as it wasnt agreeing with me. I have also joined a gym....it was damn hard joining up as I havnt done any fitness or had any motivation to do exercise for the past 10yrs!! Now I need to keep going ha ha
Some days I still feel like doing a runner somewhere on my own (especially in the middle of a tantrum and when both boys decide to simultaneously scream) but overall I love being a mum and wouldnt want to be doing anything else at the moment
Thanks for sharing Nicola. I hear you on wanting to run away when 2 kids scream together....its a common thing in this house these days....Jasmine has found her new self and now has an attitude (she is only 1 year 2 weeks old) and then Chelsea...well she is miss tantrum queen and miss attitude to the max! It will be fun come January dealing with a newborn as well!
I love the name Zander!
Is it bad Chelsea still isnt on cows milk??
In her bottles (2 a day) she has 100ml water, 100ml cows milk and 2 scoops formula....
I have a check up for both girls next week and the white lie of 'No Chelsea isnt on bottles anymore' will be put in place....im sick of gettin my butt kicked!
Jovie still has a bottle at night, my good friends little man is 6 months older and still on 3-4 bottles a day!! So don't listen to the bottle nazi.
Nicola I hear ya about the runner!!! Sometimes I look out the window and think about just walking out... I wouldn't but its fun to entertain the thought.
Oh that makes me feel better Christy..im not going to take something away she loves and still needs. Ill cop it cos Jasmine is 12 months and should be off them too..(4 a day)...that would be ok IF she ate solids to make up for the bottles!!!
kim sophie has milk after brekky and dinner in sippy cups but lunch time still a bottle,
start weaning her off the formula by very slowly reducing the scoops maybe 1/4 scoop at a time, she;ll get used to it!!
Horror day here.....the earlier i put my girls to bed at night..the worst they are through the day....no more early bed times for them. In saying that, Craig put Chelsea to bed at 750 tonight cos she asked to go! I went out to the movies, gold class...had a nice time!
Its past midnight here (i know not yet in WA Blanche..) but i thought id post while i remembered:
Thanks Kim!! cant believe my little baby girl will be 2 tomorrow 2 years ago this time i was in hospital in labour!! cant wait to see her face in the morning when she sees all her pressies!!
Happy Birthday Emelia. And happy Birthing day Blanche! Make sure you reach over and pat yourself on the back today hun - Its been a full on two years babe, and your doing amazing.
Is Jack crawling yet? looks like it in your ticker photo. I've been thinking about you -
You know we all need a pat on the back - our kids are turning 2 and we are all here still supporting eachother. Some IRL friendships don't last that long.
Happy 2nd Birthday Ella
Great work Kim
mate PND is hard. I know with Matilda, I went to the GP ad sat down... and started crying. Zoloft worked very well for me.
