Hi all just a quick one to update u on whats happening with the selling of our house - or should i say not selling of our house - the couples final offer was 24K less than our asking price so we said nope! next time they want to play with the adults they need some real money to play with! was rather annoying and petty with them only going up 2K everytime!
Wow what a marathon catching up!! Have been in Melbs seeing all the family and for my sisters engagement/house warming party. Mmm, yeah, THANKS for the weather!!! I much prefer the humidity here. We stayed at my MIL house. We get along pretty well but she's 70 and wants to put her 2cents in about EVERYTHING!! 6 days was enough IFYKWIM. She cried a lot when we left though. They'll be up here in April but she's on a pension so can't afford to come up as often as my parents do.
Wow Hollye, I can't believe Mia is trying to crawl already! Liam's still not rolling over, but he's trying to get there. he does these big hip thrusts up into the air tho LOL. CONGRATULATIONS on the big feeds and weight gain for Mia!
Sign me up for losing 10kg. What a great idea. I was doing ok for the first 2 months, but don't seem to be getting anywhere now, even though i'm much more mobile.
Leigh - I would freak out with a snake in the house!! We had a frog living in the toilet for the first month we lived in this house and i still sometimes check 2 1/2 years later.
HJ - Hope the house sells soon.
Oh I know i had replies for others too, but 6 days is a long long time in here.
Liam is teething! Poor little boy. Last night i put him to bed with panadol coz he just wouldn't settle - and i knew he was still tired from barely sleeping the night before (woke EVERY hour!!) so figured overtiredness would mean the pain felt worse etc. He slept really well an is doing better today.
He was SOOOOO good while we were away. Charming everyone of course, and at my sisters party he was passed around all night (around sleeps and feeds of course) and at times was far away from me and DH for like 1/2 hour at a time and had no issues with it. No issues on the plane either which was really good.
I forget who asked about Implanon. I had it for about 2 years until 6 months before Liam was concieved. I generally didn't bleed for 4-6 months then it would be a pretty big one. I might have had 1 or 2 that lasted about 2 weeks while the rest were the usual 7 days or so, but it has a different effect on everyone. The biggest thing for me was it killed my labido (TMI?). I think weight gain was an issue but i wasn't eating well either. It was good not to have to think about it, and its kinda cool to feel it in your arm, but I'll be thinking hard before just jumping back to it again.
1stBub - Glad you had a great time away. Thats good Liam was so good for you while you were down there. I like it when we go to parties or bbq's and Lara gets passed around, gives me a break for a little while. Poor thing with his teething. Lara isnt rolling over yet either but is trying so hard. But Im still kind of glad she isnt coz when I put her down I know she isnt going to roll any where. It was me who asked about the implanon, my bleeding has slowed down a bit now so I am hoping it will stop very soon and then stay away for a while. I'll give it a few more months and if the bleeding keeps up I'll get it removed. Oh I am scared of frogs too. I'd still be checking the toilet everytime I go too if I were you.
HJ - Thas sux about the house. God, they must've known you guys wouldnt accept an off that low. Fingers x'd you get a buyer soon.
Starrysky - Hope your friend has her baby soon - how exciting!! Everytime I find out someone is pregnant I get jealous coz I cant have anymore kids and I would really love too.
Better go get dinner ready (I really dont feel like cooking).
Liams got plenty of movement, but I think it might be a lot harder with his big round roly poly cloth nappies. Think i should give him plenty of naked time to help him out.
I actually got rid of the frog myself as DH was still down in Shepparton. After about a month I finally built myself up, went in with rubber gloves and a huge plastic container, completely freaking out(!), waited til he was out of the toilet and trapped him. I heard they spend their whole lives trying to get back to their 'home' so i drove him 1/2 an hour away and dropped him there!! For that month before tho you'd never know where he was and I'd have to keep the toilet lid closed so he didn't jump out and wet everything, so I'd lift the lid carefully each time. But usually he'd be hiding where the water comes from when you'd flush, so you'd NEVER know he was there until you flush and this BIG leg would slip down. *shiver* gives me the heeby jeebies just thinking about it. Never had such quick toilet trips in my whole life!!
We are well moving right along, jorda will be crawling in the next couple weeks.. odd as she was a month premie.. i guess she has caught up.. she rolls around everywhere and these 2 teeth and more on the way!.
I have been on this serious weight loss so in 4 weeks i have lost 4.3kg.. i am sooo happy and feeling wonderful!!
well done didi. Wish I could lose some more weight. I'm trying but it is stubbornly sitting on my belly lol. I have to be fit and fabulous and 40 not fat and frumpy grrrrr. Body get on with it.
Great job Didi. How did you shed that much so quickly? Jorda's doing fantastically! Liam was nearly 2 weeks late so maybe he'll just decide to be late with everything.
Kim, we'll all get there. It's just a little bit but Ive been doing push ups with Liam lying on the floor under me. He loves it and that keeps me going longer.
Well arent all of you ladies really good. I should be on that list... hehehe. Yet I really need to get myself motivated a bit first otherwise all you ladies will lose weight and I will be the only one gaining. Too embarrassing.... Anyway I am hoping that my Wii fit will help get me motivated. I am enjoying that Wii fit so much, cant believe I so much when doing it. So as long as I am enjoying it must be good. hehehe. Is anyone else using the wii?
HJ - Sorry you didnt sell your house hun, hopefully someone will give you what you want soon. hugs
Didi - Congrats on the weightloss, so proud of you hun. Welcome back too. hugs
1stbub - Hi hun, welcome back to. Glad you enjoyed your trip away. Re the frog, OMG I would be scared to use the toilet, I can only imagine how you must have felt doing your quick trips to the loo. Luckily for you you didnt have diarreah huh!!!! Good on you for dropping it 30mins away, fingers crossed it doesnt come home again. hehehe
Hollye - You are such a good girl.
Anyway I hope all is good with your bubbas, arent they just adorable. I cant help but cuddle V all the time. She is just a blessing, as all of our bubs are. Ohh and I just have too say, I am soooooo sooo happy for LJ and her preggie news. Ohh and an October baby too. hehehe
Olive has been waking through the night again for the past 4 nights then slept through again last night, hooray!!! I was beginning to feel the full effects of sleep deprivation again and I don't like it so fingers crossed she's back to her old self.
1st bub - Olive only rolled over a couple of weeks ago but hasn't been doing it much. She is in cloth nappies too, her big bum looks so cute when she rolls over. I was reading on a website that you can also take a doona outside on the grass (could do indoors as well) and gently pull up one side of it to help get the hang of rolling over.
Didi - well done with the weight loss.
hj - we offered 12k under the asking price and got it immediatly so wished we had of offered 20k under. The house my sister and DF brought went for 40k under the asking price so you can't really blame those people for wanting to get a bargain with the way the market is. Maybe you could put 'no offers please on your sign' to stop the offering and counter offering. GL hope it sells for you soon.
Can't believe it's the weekend already, our babies are growing up way to fast!!!
Nothing much to report from my end, just wanted to pop in and say hi.
Didi - Yay on the weight loss. I am jealous!!! How'd you do it?
1st bub - You are such a brave girl trapping the frog. I am so scared of frogs (everyone gives me a hard time about it). I honestly don't know how you managed to use the toilet. I'd be so scared it would jump on my bum or something Good on ya for driving it 30mins away to let it go.
Hollye - Thanks for starting the weight loss list for us!!! Hope it doesnt take us long to lose the weight. I majorly need to get motivated though.
Sorry I've gotta cut my post short, Lara is screaming so I've gotta go.
Have a great weekend!!!
I was just eating healthy fruit veggies. .meat etc.. BUT proportions are a huge thing.. so i dont stuff myself.. and i have control.. i used to have 2 sugars in my coffee now i have none.. So reducing my sugars and moving more as well..
Ya i have 2 children but 30min at the gym is definitly doable!
Hollye are we just letting you know how much we've lost on the 16th??
HJ how can you say that and then not post anymore, I hope that it's that your house has sold, cooommme oooooonnnnn, I wanna know.
didi that is great, I've been getting out walking 3-4 times a week for about 40-60mins, and eating healthier as well.
Well Julian has learnt to blow raspberries it's so cute, he's also rolling over to his left and then onto his tummy, but starts whinging after a few minutes and wants to be turned back and he is also just started to grab things and put them into his mouth.
Sorry I haven't been posting, I've been reading though. Everyone seems to be doing very well and bubba's too!
Hollye-I can't believe Mia is trying to crawl already! DS still isen't rolling!
OM-Really glad to hear Olive's results came back clear! Great news!
HJ-What's your news?? Another bub???
1Stbub-How's Liam's teeth?? Hope your getting some sleep! I agree with the rolling and cloth nappies! I've been making sure DS has nudie time everyday.
Didispunk-Wow! Jorda is doing great!
Leigh-Hope everything is good with you!
Amanda-Thats very cute with the raspberries!!
Hi to anyone else I've missed!
Everything is good here. We are hoping to move within the next two weeks!! So this house is crazy with boxes and rubbish everywhere and it's driving me mad! But sooo can't wait for the new house!!
So I might not be around that much over the next little while, just trying to get everything sorted for the move.
We have a contract on our house!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOO
Its still not unconditional - the possible new owners still have to do pest and building inspection but that should be all fine! at long last!
it was a bit of a shock too cause we had 2 offers to choose from!
YAY hj what good news for you guys. Hope it all goes through.
Hollye - Can't believe that Mia is almost crawling, Meara still can't roll over 8(
ATM DD2 is trying to smother bubs. She doesn't mean it but loves to give her cuddles and lays on top of her. She also tries to give her bottles and then shoves them down her throat grrrrr. As if it is not hard enough without her doing this.
OMG went to buy Pink tickets and nearly had a heart attack at the price. Tickets for Newcastle are $345 each. Sorry Sarah cant get them. She will cry. Even Sydney is $225 each. Just toooooo expensive.
I much prefer the humidity here. We stayed at my MIL house. We get along pretty well but she's 70 and wants to put her 2cents in about EVERYTHING!! 6 days was enough IFYKWIM. She cried a lot when we left though. They'll be up here in April but she's on a pension so can't afford to come up as often as my parents do.
Where is everyone?? 
Ohh and I just have too say, I am soooooo sooo happy for LJ and her preggie news. Ohh and an October baby too. hehehe
DS still isen't rolling!
