Hmm, Fluff-a-holic, what can we call you for short? Don't feel right calling you Fluff! :lol: Yeah it's a shame they dont do the coloured ones anymore - we have orange and purple ('twilight'). I guess you don't really see them much anyway - just the covers.
On that note, I have my 1st parties/demo's falling into place!!!! Woke up this morning to 2 emails. VERY excited!! I think i should be nervous, but I'm not. I might save that for later. :)
HJ - great avvy!! Once the $$ from the car repairs is all sorted out i guess i should get off my butt and become a member or something... :)
Ok, I need some good tips. Liam wakes most often because he's turned on his tummy. Is there anything we can do about it or is it just a waiting game until he gets over it or learns to sleep through it? Half the time his eyes are still closed and he seems to be sleeping still, but he's SCREAMING. :shrug:
Dropped my sister off at the Maroochy Airport today - big drive just for a drop off! And our house is finally all ours again! Ahhhhhhh! A month with only 10 visitor-free days is not an easy task with a bub. Nice to be able to walk around naked again. lol. just kidding.
Oh, did i mention I got my hair cut short? Didi you inspired me! :) Tho its not as short as yours! It's about chin length at the front, then goes up to the hairline at the back. It's messy (but stylish) with red, blonde and brown streaks. I love it! It's so easy.
Hope you're all having a great weekend!
Finally had a good nights sleep last night, yeah!!!
Olive slept in her cot from 7pm until 4.45am! She then had a bottle in my bed and slept until 7:30am. We changed her bedding and put a pillow in her cot as she loves to sleep on my pillow in our bed. I also got some warmer, long sleeved sleeping bags and soft, warm blankets similiar to whats in my bed and it seems to have worked. Fingers crossed tonight is as good. She has got a touch of the cold so I hope it's not just cause she's sick.
I went to an auction yesterday and brought a brand new single king koil ensemble for $30 so that if Olive is having a bad night at least DH and I can go in to Olive's room for some shut eye.
1stbub - Good luck with the new business venture! Olive sometimes sleeps on her belly and now that she's past 6mths i'm fine with it. Have you tried putting him in his cot on his belly? Does he self settle? Do you use sleeping bags?
Hi everyone else, i'm off to have a shower and do some more house work, DH is fishing so having a quiet day at home. Enjoy your Sunday everyone.
Oh, What are you all hoping to get for mother's day next sunday? i'm not sure really, anything except a fluffy dressing gown! I just want a nice card more then anything else and maybe a special meal or something meaningful.
call me Fluff/Kat/kathryne/katones (former user name!!)
work is ok...5hrs a day...no probs at all...Jack isn't in care when i work he stays with his nana (mil) we are lucky with regards to that!!!
OM - i would also like a really nice card - a handmade one would be great - But DH is not that creative! hehehe but im very excited about my first mothers day!!!
Sad news...
Jorda is officially crawling properly.. not commando.. I am sad... then you have to move everythign out of there way.. you cant just put her on a bed at a freidns place to nap.. you need to bring porta cot!
grrr I was hoping she would be doing the slow commando for a while.. NOPE.. she is off and racing..
i hear ya didi... i was excited but how i wish she went back to swimming across the carpet lol. Oh my... u dont realise all the stuff they can get into!
Hi Girls,
I've been MIA for about a week, you girls have been busy. I haven't had a chance to read all of your posts yet, hopefully Lara will go down for a sleep and I will get some quiet time. Hope you're all well.
Hey leigh how are you doing??/
Looking foward to mum day again!! woo hoo the joys.. just like another birthday but I dont get older.
pmsl didi!!! I loves it!!:lol:
well, I am at home all by my lonesome with my jbaby, jman has gone to pt augusta for 2 nights :rolleyes:
had 2 of the girls from mums group over today, was good, had library baby time today again, jbaby thinks its a hoot, just laughs and smiles the whole time.
hey hey,
mothers day is close now.. how exciting. I told DP i need a pair of slippers, thats such a mothers day thing to ask for! lol still need to get something for my mum.
Starry- whats ur hubby doin in pt augusta?
hiya hollye- jman owns a company that does IT stuff, they have a major server upgrade going on in one of the government departments......good money, but I hate him being away. This is the longest he has been away from jbaby, the girls at mg asked me how I was going to cope without him here, I just laughed, he doesnt do a bloody thing anyway!! I just miss him keeping me warm in bed at night! LOL
Brrrr its cold today!!!
Jorda being little turkey.... top tooth came last night.. so that makes it three teeth.. and the other top one will be tonight or tomorrow... grrrr
go jorda!
Mia still has no teeth.. no sign of any in the near future..
The only good thing about teeth is when she is cranky.. you can say
'She is teething" and she is ACTUALLY teething, not just that she is being a little turkey!!
Hi all,
Congratulations to all these little bubs who have their first teeth. V got her first tooth on Sunday. Boy was she cranky that day, with all good reason to, she just wanted mummy to hugs her all day. She is soo cute. Just love her to bits. She has definately been alot happier this week too. Full of smiles. hugs all.
Yay V and Jorda on ur toothy pegs! B still has no teeth and no sign of them either (dont worry Hollye, Mia is not the only one)
Starry - Jman is home today isnt he? did u survive the long cold nights alone or did u sneak Jbaby into bed with u too keep u company? hehehe
Leigh - how are u and Lara going?
Hollye - thanks for ur straight to the point txt msg yesterday - hahahaha
B had a awful night last night - was up every couple of hrs! i think this is just the start of her waking up during the night again - i guess a week and a half of her sleeping from 2000-0600 was pretty good - damn i was taking that stupid stuff and for most of it i couldnt sleep at night anyway!
Im off today to return her baby capsule - im actually a bit sad about that - no more little baby for me :(
HJ - sorry i was on my way out the door and only had a sec to reply. Would u like me to PM you the reason why u cant??
All good here. Mia woke at 6:54am. I hang out to wake up and it says 7:00. i know its only 6 minutes but still! Not bad tho.. she went to sleep at 6:45pm lastnight
Tho she was tossing and turing all night.. hrmmm i dunno.
Hey everyone.. nice and quiet in here at the moment.
Nothing exciting from me.. kids are kids....
Going out for a friends birthday drinks this weekend.. I am also wnating to do the Mothers Day 8km run..
Happy MUM DAY THIS WEEKEND TO ALL.. if its your first.. Super special!
I couldve sworn I posted in here last night!:rolleyes: but its not here!
yep hj, jbaby has slept with me for the past 3 nights, jman didnt come yesterday (sniff) had to stay an extra night and day just to finish the job....
took jbaby swimming yesterday! down at the local pool, took him about 10 mins to really get into it but then whoah!! he wouldnt stop splashing, trying to jump out my arms, he is a little fish :lol:
after that we caught the train into town to go the womens and childrens for the sleep research thingy, they just basically tested all of jbabys reflexes and fine motor control, how well he sits, rolls over etc, how vocal he is, then gave me a reading test!
anyway, now he has an ankle bracelet on that tracks his sleep pattern, I also have a sleep diary that I have to mark in when he goes down for sleep, when he is actually asleep and then when he wakes up, and its all b ecause he snores!!
off to playgroup today, didnt go last week as my cousin was here from nt, so it will be good to see some of the other girls again.
hope you all have a fantastic day.
xx
STARRY - wow all that is pretty full on!!!
My poor bubba girl is sick with the cold - she has been up all night, and the only way she is a little bit comforted is when im nursing her!
Oh and did i tell u all she said mumma yesterday? what an awesome mothers day pressie!!!
Anyways just a quick one cause mum will be here soon!
didi - goodluck with the run - let us know how u go!
HJ - poor Bianca! I hope she gets better soon! Mia's got a cold too.. im pretty tired today. So coll when they say mum hay.. melted my heart :)
Hi Girls,
HJ - Poor little B, hope she gets better soon. She is such a clever girl saying mumma. DD1's first word was Dadda so I better start teaching Lara mumma so I can be her first word. Lara still doesnt have any teeth either.
Didi - Have fun going out for you friends b'day drinks.
Starry - Hope you enjoyed playgroup. Jbub might turn into an Olympic swimmer. How are you going keeping track of the sleeping?
Hope you all have a lovely day on Sunday. Do any of you know what you are getting? DH is working on Sunday so he has arranged for us and the kids to go stay somewhere tomorrow night and go out for dinner. Will be nice to get away, even if it is for 1 night. I went to DD1's kindergarten this morning for a Mothers Day morning tea, it was so nice. They made us scones and presents and gave us flowers.
Gotta go, have a great weekend!
weigh in at the doc's in 1.5 hours ladies! wish me luck!
Hollye how did the weigh in go? Hope Mia feels better soon.
HJ how sweet that B said mumma, usually they say dada first cause it is easier, hopefully B will be better soon as well.
Not much going on here been very busy or at least feel very busy. Julian has been in MCN's for the last two days and they have been great. My mum is coming down from Hervey Bay tonight so will get to spend mothers day with her.
Hollye - how did u go?
Amanda - i kinda drilled it into her head so maybe thats why she said it first! hehehe DH thinks its great tho cause she is saying it constantly and he is well she wants u so u better sort her out! damn it hehehe
Leigh - thats so nice - sounds like u had a nice day! have a good night away also!
1.8 kg in 2 weeks! yay!
next app not till the 28th May.. its a big one.. pap smear (still havent had that done since Mia, actually i have never had one!), breast exam.. heart.. lungs and all the above. Blood test came back good, had another diabetes check, passed with flying colour. Had liver, colesterol and everything checked.. all good! yay.
omg did i mention i got all my hair cut off? i did! lastnight.. all goone.. well it was nearly to my bum and now its just past my shoulders and lotsaaaaa layers! much betterer!
Hi everyone,
I've been reading but have had no time to post with work.
Olive is doing really well. She is sitting so confidently and is basically crawling, she takes a few steps then moves into sitting possie. I'm so sick of these top teeth, after 3 glorious nights of sleeping through she is back to waking at least once or twice. Oh well we will get there eventually. Olive loves our bed but id definatly sleeping better in her cot. Work is ok but i'm pretty stressed ATM as my bosses are away and as the temporary authorised supervisor I look after the place and have to work some longer hours for a couple of weeks. The extra money will be good but I miss Olive so much.
Starry - Even though my DH doesn't do that much around the house I would miss him heaps if he went away. He looks after Olive 2 arvo's and 1 full day while I work so he is doing an amazing job with that. His hours are about to change though as he is switching to full time work so Olive will be going to FDC another day. It sucks in one way but in another it will be good as at the moment DH gets up for work at 2:45am! He is recovering from influenza ATM so him and Olive have been sleeping together for 2 hrs every arvo, i'm pretty jealous.
hj - I love it when Olive says mum mum, thats a lovely MD pressie. I think i'm getting a cookbook as I 'asked' Olive for a Jamie Oliver or Nigella Lawson one the other day. A bunch of flowers would be nice as well but we'll see, I won't push my luck.
Didi - Your a machine!!! I need to get back into WW. I have been really slack and it shows. I can't get away with the extra calories now that i'm not breastfeeding so will have to make more of an effort now.
Hollye - Are you or Mia getting weighed? Good luck either way.
Leigh - Hope you have a lovely night away!!!
Hi to everyone else, have a great Mother's day!!! Hope you all (me included) get spoiled rotton!
OM - me.. i lost 1.8 kilos this fortnight.
Hollye - well done!!!:dance: Good luck with your other tests.
morning all!
due to all the xcitement yesterday (I have another thread about it) jbaby did not sleep well last night at all! I did think he might crash all night but no....
have any of you had to have your babys blood taken yet? omg it was excruciating :wall: the nurse put an emla patch on him but then they couldnt find a vein, I couldnt watch, jman had to hold him down with the nurse while the doc basically just kept shoving the needle in until he found one, cue lots of screaming from poor jbaby..:doh:
and after all the waiting around for the emla to work, they used his other hand anyway, I was almost in tears, jbaby was osbbing his little heart out and even after he stopped crying he was still hitching his breath and sobbing every now and then for a good half hour afterwards, I felt sooooo bad!
I have a friend coming over today that I havent seen for a good 12 years, we found eachother on facebook and have been chatting, she was my best mate in primary school until my family moved and we lost contact. will be great to see her and her 2 kiddies.
so i suppose its a good thing to be up early, I have heaps of housework to do, didnt do anything at all yesterday, when we got home from the hospital Jbaby and I crashed out for a few hours, then had tea and went to bed.
hope you all have a good day, looking forward to tomorrow, first mums day and all that.

Congrats Hollye on your weight loss - that's great!!
OM - sorry you're still not getting much sleep.
I think our sleep drought may be broken...lol although i probably shouldn't say such things after only 2 good nights. heehee. But I FINALLY found a good dr!! A great dr. even. He's been in the area for a long time and i've heard his name a few times. i think i was lucky to get in to see him. After a week of having to 'air Liam out' after every nappy change and not much change in the infection, I got into this dr on Thursday. He took 1 look, said 'yep, this is what it is' (a bacterial infection, i forget what he called it though), 'it's not caused by anything he or you have or haven't done. Here's a script for some antibiotics, it should start clearing by the weekend, have him take it for 5-7 days and that's all.' *relief!!* Oh to have a good dr you trust who gets things FIXED! Liam's infection really has been pretty nasty. It's looking better today, and the 1st night after taking the antibiotics Liam slept from 11pm-6am - completely unheard of in the last month, and very rare in the last 2 months. Last night was about the same. Sleep is such a wonderful thing! :)
Sorry for the very few personals. Gotta go catch up on sleep while the little angel is down again.
just a really quick one before i go to bed
1stbub - LOVE UR TICKER!!!
and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY for tomorrow ALL YOU WONDERFULL MUMMY'S XOXOXO
Happy Mothers day to all!
Happy Mothers Day!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you all had a lovely day yesterday and got spoilt. I got a lovely card, beautiful cookbook, chocolates and this months edition of Cosmo. We went out for brekkie with MIL and GMIL which was nice and got some flowers. I felt truely appreciated especially since I was up most of Saturday night as Olive has her first cold. DH did his share as well though and Olive did sleep a little bit better last night. I cooked a yummy meal out of my new cook book while DH played mum for a while. I made a yummy lime chicken dish with vegies and sun dried tomato mayo and for dessert plum custard tart with king Island cream - decitant I know.
Both are cars are in a bad way ATM. One is in the garage, then other needs to be cluth started each time! bloody cars!
Anyway just a quick one as I have to start work a little arlier for the next couple of weeks- 11:30 instead of 2 so I best be going before Olive wakes up.
Can't wait to read about how you all got spoilt!
hi all! Happy mums day to all you yummy mummies, I wont tell you about my day, less said the better....
was soo good to see my friend the other day, it was kinda surreal, felt like it was only last week that I saw her last not 15yrs ago! kept remembering she had 2 kids now, and I have 1 too! weird!!
anyway, am meeting a few girls from mums group today, as one of them cant make it to the library tomorrow, she is going thru a bit of a rough patch I think.
jbaby is asleep right now, hasnt been sleeping very well at night the last few days, I think the hospital experience has traumatised the poor love.
we actually have some sunshine today!! woohoo!! am sitting outside with my laptop trying to soak up what few rays I can!
have a great day!
xx
Thanks ladies.. I hope you all had a lovely relaxing day yesterday!
I have the cold/flu something now.. Awful feel like crapo! I always loose my appetite when I get sick.. so I hope I get better soonish!
Ben made me a placemat for mum day with his hand print on it and a pick.. So cute!! PRICELESS.
I didnt do the run in the end.. you had to register 4 days prior.. Well I am not that organised!
Well done Hollye on the weight loss... What is your ultimate goal?
Hope everyone has a good week.. sleeping babies and all!
Happy Belated Mother's Day, I hope you all had a wonderful day.
This was my mother's day https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...thers-day.html.
Be back tomorrow to do a proper job on personals.
Hi Girls,
Amanda - My god, your poor DS, how lucky that he didnt break any bones. Must have been scary!!
Hollye - Good news on the weightloss & your other tests.
Starry - Glad you had a great time catching up with your old friend, poor jbaby with his blood test, that must have been awful.
Sorry I dont have much time to do personals, I have to start cooking dinner while the going is good.
Our night away was good. Went out for a really nice dinner on Saturday night and then we had breakfast at the hotel Sunday morning, then DH had to work. Still enjoyed Mothers Day though.
Very quiet in here ladies...
I hope everyone hasnt got the flu/cold that is going around!
