Mo - :woot: awesome news!! I'm so glad you didn't have to wait too long babe, waiting sucks. I understand the anxiety, just take it one day at a time. Fingers crossed for good blood results.
Viv - we are down to two wake ups from 6pm till 7.30am - he feeds at 10pm and 3/4am generally. I'm OK with two wake ups in 13.5 hours. But some nights he might wake in between and have to be resettled. But that's a normal night here. My bet is it's the teeth and it will pass...hang in there! Don't hesitate with the panadol, I learnt that lesson with #1. If they need it, they need it.
Sleep has been good today. Enjoying the serenity, never lasts long with this boy :)
Well...it's over and not too bad I must say. MIL just told me she was teaching him to say 'the' nickname, and I just said...Look, I really don't want Max calling you that, so please make up a word for him to call you....She decided Granny! Counselling with DH was good. I even got to explain the MIL issues with him there and I think he realised where I'm coming from. It's all good!!
Anyway, I have to go..I'm off to kickboxing again! Yee Haa!!!
Mo - WOW Congratulaion! I hope this one sticks for ya! How exciting!!
Amber - Clucky hey....? First time I have heard ya say that....... hmmmmmm....... you next???? ;)
Rbececa - Thats great news! Bet ya cant wait.
We have a very sick bubba here poor little thing. It sounds like a croopy cough I reckon. And she has trouble breathing properly at night too, its so sad, poor little thing. We had heaps of cuddles last night. She wasnt too bad today but since it has gotten cool again tonight, it is all back. I have it too muxt admit. Feeling VERY crappy and fluey but oh well, what can ya do?
Hi to all!
Mo - congratulations babe! That's excellent news. Best wishes for a H&H pregnancy.
Kellie - happy birthday. Hope you are having a good day.
Rebecca - congrats on the job offer. Will you keep C at daycare when you are working from home?
Amber - Snap!
Taking L to the crawlers class tomorrow. Cant wait!
L seems to be over his illness. Still got a cough and a runny nose but that is to be expected from daycare I guess.
Thanks Willow, Becky & Saffi :)
Julia glad things went well, Funny how it took 9 months to come up with something as simple as Granny.
Becky hope Chelsea gets better quickly.
Willow yay on L sleeping well for you.
Saffi glad L is better & have fun at crawlers class tomorrow
Tell me about it Mo...AND she wanted a name that didn't sound old....???!!!!
Forgot to say earlier......HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLIE! :) Sorry for the delayed reaction!
lol Julia i think Granny sounds older than Nanny but maybe that's just me.
Soooooo cold here, the grass is covered in ice, bring on Spring I'm so over this winter.
Melb girls when Spring arrives and it's actually warm enough to go outside we should have another meet-up at the B. Gardens again. Then we can see how much our bubba's have grown!
Saffi hope you have fun at the crawlers class! Glad he is getting better! Were you snapping the Pg comment lol!
Becky hope lil Chels gets better soon! Myles had croop the othewr week went in a couple of days though!
Julia maybe you could call her old granny goo gaa! If she is going to be silly about it give her a silly name! lol!
Not much happening! Myles was up a fair bit klast night the teeth are giving him grief!
Anyway better go he is destroying everything in sight!
x
Saffi-No I wish I could keep her at home with me but as the job involves dictation typing with medical terminology and with different radiologists I will need to be able to listen/hear really well and I dont think it will be easy to do with a crying or sooking or even playing bub in the house. Plus I would need to keep her occupied and that would take me away from the job.
I am tossing up pay options though - do I go on wages or do I contract to them as I did before....think it just may be too much hassle for me if I do the contracting thing again - come tax time it gets confusing for me AND I will have to also keep my own books.
Caitlyn had a good sleep last night - I honestly think the cooler weather is helping her sleep a little better. She went down at 8 and slept until 430 this morning and then I ended up having to make some noise to wake her up in order to get her to daycare on time and for me to get to work on time. So I had a great night sleep. Sorry to all those that didnt!
I was going to chuck a sickie today cause we are leaving early saturday morning to drive to Townsville and there is so much I need to do to prepare! But the boss is off so I didnt think it was a great idea!
OO a client - had better run. Have a great day ladies!! MWAH
i was sitting in front of the couch on the floor yesterday while jj cruised the couch. i turned to look at him and he was standing there, totally unaided, holding his cup just smiling at me. I cheered and made a fuss and he just stood there for about 10 or so seconds until he put his hand out for the couch.
cool huh? :dance: i was so proud. it's funny how his every movement, sniffle and burp keeps me amused for hours. sigh
last night he went back to relatively normal with only a 10.30pm and a 3.30am wake. I can deal with that. i feel way more human today.
jj seems to be way more boogedy with sleep when it comes to mechanical milestones than he is for teeth. when the bottom ones came through, it also coincided with him crawling properly. hard to know if he's upset because his brain is driving him nuts trying to work out how to do stuff, or if it's the teeth.
a mystery - like everything.
Go JJ! Good work, no wonder you've been driving your mother around the twist, you're working on the big moves!
Warning - for those that had a carp night with bubs don't read this post!
I so love my boy. I put him down last night at 7pm, he was awake when he was put in his cot and the next thing we heard from him it was just before 7am! I did go in at 10.30pm just to check on him and put him back under the covers. He has never gone a whole 12 hours before! DH thinks that I got up to him overnight, but I have no recollection of this and I know I was awake a couple of times at around the times L normally stirs. I won't try to tempt fate and think this will be a lasting pattern, but it certainly is appreciated when it happens
Is anyone going to the Target toy sale? I was going to go after I pick DH up from work tonight. Nothing there that I thought I must get there at 8am for, but I'm sure I could find heaps of things to spend a lot of money on.
Thinking more that L is a finger food type of bub. It is getting harder too feed him anything on a spoon, but as soon as something is put on his tray he goes for it. Worried tho that he isn't actually eating much (I know milk is their main nutrition for 12 months, but....). Cos he doesn't really eat much I am reluctant to make a lot of new and interesting sort of things, so just go with toast, vegies and a bit of meat and pasta. Are other finger food bubs eating all their food?
Congrats to JJ. How cool is that to just see it happen like that. Have you got the video camera out yet?
Best get myself ready while L is down for a nap.
BBL
Morning,
Bella slept all night last night but could hear her moaning in her sleep, think her top teeth will be coming through soon. Her cheeks have been really red for the last couple of weeks. Can't believe my landlord, we are moving at the end of August and got home this morning at 9.00 after dropping kids off at school and DH in town, and there he is with two ladies looking at my dog through the fence. All I could think of was "the house is in a mess". He didn't let me know he was bringing anyone around. Oh well, they loved the house, so looks like he found a tenant :wall:.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Bye,
Dianne
Nice work big L! impressive, now come have a word to the guni.
Lu is pretty good on her finger food, she is loving pasta, grapes, avocado, sultanas and mandarins at the mo. Having said that, there are somedays (i suspect when her gums are sore) that she hardly eats anything. She turns her nose up at the spoon too, unless it has yoghurt on the end of it! I have heard you should just keep offering things, even if he doens't want them, persist and he will eventually give them a go.
HCG levels are 7241, so nice and high :D
Way to go JJ.
Nice sleeping there L.
Thats fantastic Mo! Keep stickin bubba!
Viv wtg JJ you will be running after him in no time!
Saffi thats so great L is sleeping well, no need to warn us we are happy for you!
Dianne hope Bellas teeth dont cause her too much worry!
bbl xx
Mo - congrats! I am so excited for you! I must admit I thought something was up when I saw your status on facebook as not feeling well, I wondered if it was morning sickness! Glad to hear of the great BT results too! Heres to some sticky vibes!:cheer: :bellyrubs:
Thanks Trish, Amber, Mo, Rebecca, Saffi and Julia for the birthday wishes. Went out to dinner with family last night, and then we have a small party on the weekend. I can't believe I am 30!
Ange - where do you get the 'baby mum mum' biscuits? I looked in my Coles and I couldnt find them. Ended up getting her some ritz crackers though, and she seems to like them
Rebecca - congrats on the job offer
Julia - hope you enjoyed kick boxing and MG!
Saffi - you are so lucky with L's great sleep! I hope it continues for you!
BTW - I hear everyone on the issues with MIL's!
Not much else new with us, I am quickly child proofing the house as Tahlia practices her crawling and gets into everything! Why do they love playing with things that aren't toys when they have real toys all around them ;). Off to MG this arvo
*cues cricket noises*
It's so quiet in here!
Kellie - I'm glad you had a nice birthday. Have fun at your party on Saturday!
Mo - Yay on those HCG levels!!! I get a good feeling about this bub ;) How are you feeling physically? Any m/s yet or is it biding it's time?
Ange - I am so impressed with what Lu eats! It's so much easier when your bub eats most things. How are you feeling lately?
Dianne - Poor Bella, I hope those teeth pop through and stop bothering her. She is such a good sleeper! Where are you moving to?
Saffi - WTG L on that sleep!!!! How did he go last night? I haven't been to the Target toy sale, but DH & I were considering getting Joel a trampoline for his birthday while they are on sale.
Viv - Wow @ JJ standing on his own! He'll be taking steps in no time now!
Rebecca - Enjoy your trip to Townsville!
Amber - I hope Myles' teeth pop through soon, they are nasty aren't they?
Julia - Granny sounds REALLY old LOL. Oh well, at least she has settled on a name now.
Becky - Poor Chelsea, I hope she feels better soon. It's horrible when they are so sick.
Joel is going to kinder this arvo and is looking forward to it, hooray :cheer:! It's nice to have him back to normal again, my stress levels have decreased dramatically.
DH is out for a work dinner tonight, then off skiing on Sunday so I will be stuck at home alone with the boys :(. I'll have to go and visit some people I think. DH has been surfing two weekends in a row and now skiing, I wish I could just head out and do that! (Well, maybe not the skiing...or the surfing in the middle of winter...but you know what I mean!).
Oh well, I might go off and organise a holiday to somewhere warm!
Have a great day everyone :)
Happy 10 months to My lil Monkey
Trish i have that sickly feeling but no throwing up, So tired tho but that's probably because of the low blood count.
Thanks Kellie.
We went to the target toy sale, so busy in there. We got M an activity table & one of those story telling bears.
We got a Wii it's actually alot of fun, You feel silly swinging the controls around but it's good for a laugh.
happy 10 months maddi. phew... big girl!
pretty quiet round here...
last night was weird, at about 3am, clear as a bell, james yelled out, "MUM!" ... not like his usual ma ma ma... or maaaah-ma. just MUM! i sat bolt upright in bed because it was so weird but there were no other sounds.
i reckon he was dreaming about me... or something. very cute though - i love his little voice.
Aw Viv Thats seems so cute that hge would be dreaming about his mum! I was holding myles last night as he drifted off and he broke out in the hugest smile! It made me go all gooey! I hope he was dreaming of me and not about licking things lol!
Mo we have a Wii its awesome fun! We have had it for about 2 weeks and we play it nearly everynight, i think thats why i have lost weight! I popped into the target sale yesterday! It was so quite but set up really well! I got M a bike thing you can push him in and a cabbage patch doll lol!
Trish come up here to brissie its warm ....well its raining so maybe not!
Kellie its so hard child proofing hey!
Hi everyone hope your having a fab day!
bbl xx
howdy all!
still no internet but minding my nbeices at my sisters today so trying to catch up!
Ange- a belated congratulations! you guys must be super fertile, wonder if that little one time means there is a boy baby baking in there?!?!
Mo- congratulations also thats fantastic news, i hope the m/s isnt too bad
the move went well, its been hard living in the reno's but thank god most of it was done before we moved i dont think i could handle it! The kitchen is 90% complete a few more cubborads to be done which happens next week, dishwasher still to be connected as is the stove top, so cooking has been reverted to mocrowave, frozen meals, the george, elec fry pan and wok!
Um the house is freezing cause we have no door from the kitchen into the back patio area, thats getting on next week alone with bedroom doors which we've also been without!
i went without a washing machine for 2 weeks, finally it is connected and working as of this week!
Painter is coming next week to finish off prob 2 days worth.
every room has something that needs finishing but we are very pleased with what we have done so far.
Both boys have been in the wars. Tyron smacked his face into the concret a couple of days ago and got a nice big bruise on his noggin and cut on his head.
the day we moved Nixon cut his chin open, had to be glued, then thismorning climbed onto the change table, tried to lean over to turn the sterip on and fell and has a nice big bruise on his forehead to mnatch his brother!
i hope you are all well and i can catch up more when the net is back on hopefully next week!~
Hey all
Yay! Weekend is here!!!
We've got our goddaughter staying with us tonight. She is 4 and such fun. She asks a lot of questions and you're constantly being asked why and what is that etc. She was a big help bathing and dressing L. Her mum is having a baby in September so she will be a big help with her baby brother.
Going to have a facial and a pedicure in the morning. It was L's Mother's Day present to me. So slack that I am only getting to it now.
Happy 9 months Maddi! You've have spent as much time on the outside as you have on the inside!
I think I might have worked out the secret to L sleeping thru - going to bed later. Last night I put him down around 9pm and he woke up at 5am. At 5.45am I gave him a bottle and he slept until DH woke him up at 7.45am to get him ready for daycare. So tonight he went down at around 8pm. Hopeful that he will sleep until at least 5am. Going to be up fairly early with Tashie anyway.
Nickers - sounds like your house renos are almost finished. I know I couldn't live without my dishwasher.
Your poor boys. I guess there will be a lot more bumps and bruises. L came home with a bump on his chin today.
Mo - did you get the Fisher Price activity table? L has asked his Nanny to get that for him for his birthday or Christmas present.
Trish - I had a trampoline when I was a kid. So much fun. Of course mine was an old fashioned one that wasn't enclosed and had the springs exposed and you could fall off.
Viv - how great of JJ. L hasn't said so much as one word. He's a quiet type - just like his Dad.
Got a cough at the moment. I hate being sick :(
Anyway, I'll pop in over the weekend. Have fun.
So quiet in here.
Maddi's great granny come down from QLD to see her, She brought M this beautiful ladybug bracelet. When M saw her she put her arms straight out for hugs which her great granny loved!.
Nothing much happening here, life is pretty boring at the moment.
Hope everyone is well.
bah. having dramas posting. back tomorrow.
it is quiet in here.
Tyron knows how to wave know its so cute he really exentuates the hand action when he does it, but ofcourse doesnt do it on cue just when he feels its time lol!
he ALMOST crawled the convential way tonight! he has been getting around since about 7months but he is still to crawl on all fours. he also learnt how to get from the sitting position onto his tmmy for the first time tonight! exciting but now means i cant juct sit him down for a few mins and know he will still be there!
not much else, lots of trades coming this week to finish things off so have to be home most of the week but keep the kids occuied out of the way
Hey everyone!
Yay, BB is back online, that was a big break! It's been very quiet in here.
Well, I'm now officially a BB marketplace member! I was putting it off for a while and was hoping to upgrade my website, but seeing as I don't know when that is happening I thought I'd just bite the bullet. It's such cheap advertising, I thought "why not?"!
Joel is at kinder this morning and K is having a nap so it's lovely and quiet. We've all got the sniffles atm, but not too bad. I have been putting K on his knees everyday and he is starting to stay on them by himself for a little while before leaning forward and lying on his tum. We're slowly getting there!
Nic - How cute that Tyron waves! I'm trying to teach K, but he's not getting it yet! Glad the renos are going well. Do you have internet at your new house now?
Mo - That's adorable that Maddi reached out for a hug! What a cutie :)
Saffi - I hope you enjoyed your facial, I'm very jealous!
Anyhoo, better do a few things before the kinder pick up. Have a great day everyone!!
Morning,
These top teeth just don't want to come through???? Poor Bella has got the reddest cheeks but she's handling it pretty well. She's got a rash under her chin which I think might be itchy, yesterday she started rubbing her arm against it, I'll take her to the pharmacist today see if there is anything I can get for it. Bella does a little wave too, so cute. She's started to lift her arms up now when I pick her up.
Been pretty busy, we're in the middle of moving at the moment so the house is upside down. Hate living like this, oh well, not too much longer.
Hope everyone has a nice day.
Regards,
Dianne
Trish yay on becoming a BB market place member! Hope it improves your sales :D
Dianne- Hope Bella's teeth come through soon, those tops ones are shocking.
Meet up some more BB girls yesterday went to an indoor play centre. Saw Kim & gosh Jasmine is soooo long, Kim said there is only 3cms difference between Jas & Chelsea. Maddi was being a social butterfly, crawling after all the bigger kids while they ran around, she tried climbing up the stairs etc..
Ange Happy 10 months to Lu for yesterday
Dianne Happy 9 months to Bella
Mo- lucky you're here to remind me when to change from saying "she's 9 months" to "she's 10 months"! Seriously i never remember. I dont even know what day it is ATM! :lol:
Top teeth are the pits DS.
Saffi- pedicure? mmmmmmm facial? mmmmmmmmm. I'm jelous. Hope it was divine.
Thanks Nickers. ;) Moving house sux, but renovating sux more! Bet you can't wait to finish.
Trish a couple of bubs in my MG still dont crawl. Dont worry, he'll get there. ;)
Had so much to say, now it seems to have gone.........
Hi ladies!
Happy 10 months Maddi and Lu! 2 more months and you will be 1 omg!
Dianne we have 1 top tooth through and 3 waiting! Hence the no sleeping! Hope the rash gets better!
Ange hows the morning sickness? Got any yet?
Mo Maddi must have had a great time at the play centre! Have been thinking of taking Myles to one! how are you going?
Trish yay on becoming a market place member! K will be crawling in no time! Then there will be no stopping him!
Nick so glad the move went well! You will be so happy when everything is finished and looking fab! Hope the boys are ok after there war stories!
Saffi so jealous about your pedi and mani day! Hope it was nice and relaxing!
Well we arent sleeping again :( Teeth and a bit of a cold are the culprit! So i am exhausted! I just wish we could have a baby that slept! We have been giving him panadol for his teeth pretty regularly as much as i hate it but its the only thing that works at night cause he cant wear his necklace! He knows what it is now and says yumyum when i get it ready, sad but kinda cute! We bought him a fisher price swing and he loves it! Its hanging up in the house at the moment on the old hammock hooks! So cute!
Anyway hope you all have a good night! Hi to anyone i missed! xx
Hi everyone
Been busy and had a major whingey boy. Think the top teeth are coming. Poor kid, last night was terrible. He was hot 38.5 so tried to give some panadol, then he decided to spew in my bed...noice! Today was just a nightmare, clingy and awful....I'm pretty tired! Right now is the first time he's been not clinging to me all day!
Hope everyone else is well...I need to go veg out on the couch! Have a good night
:)
Ange/Viv - any luck cutting out night feeds? Kinda getting to the point where I want to at least try it in the hope that if he's not being fed, he might not wake...hmmmm, not liking my chances!
Hey everyone...hope you're all well, will BBL for personals
Morning all,
Trish - Bella is not crawling yet either, it will happen soon enough.
Nick - Rennovating, great fun, it will be great when you move in.
Boomba - hope the sleeping happens for you real soon.
MiniMax - top teeth, they seem to take ages to come through, seems like months ago I thought Bella's were coming but still no sign.
Bella had her 6mth needles yesterday. She was late with her 4mth ones so had to wait bit longer than 6mths, then she got sick so had to wait even longer but now they are over and done with. She did so well, she was more brave than me. She seems to be fine, no fever, just a few grizzles.
Yoghurt update, I bought Jalna Natural and she absolutely loves it. On its own or mixed with her fruit or cereal, just great.
Hope everyone has a great day, so sunny at the moment, hope it lasts.
Regards,
Dianne
wow, it has been quiet in here!
Not much new with us, really need to go out on the weekend and get a toddler gate for the kitchen, cause I am getting sick of chasing Tahlia in there! She loves trying to stand up against the bin, and also likes getting into the cutlery thing in the dishwasher if its left open!
My niece turns 1 tomorrow, cant believe she is already 1, so we are off to a play centre to celebrate!
willow - he seems to want his night feeds still. i drag out the gaps between, so sometimes it's 10pm, 2am then 6am. at the moment he's waking regularly for what i guess is teeth, or when i give him cheese and he farts himself to pieces. poor kid. no more cheese. naughty mummy.
so, sometimes i go and resettle, sometimes i feed. things are so carp in the sleep department i'm not concerning myself with it.
i'll worry about night feeds closer to the weaning time.
:wall: Shingles seem to have reappeared. They dont generally treat preggo women unless it is in the eye area, which it is. So i have to take a category B3 drug. Which the royal womans hospital say is fine, but makes me nervous as hell. Off to Opthamologist today, hopefully eye will be clear and maybe i wont have to take the rest of the meds.
Willow- We knocked night feeds on the head by DH getting up to settle. If she wouldn't settle, then i'd feed her. Slowly she just started settling with DH and i havn't fed her over night for a couple of weeks now. Not that that is the recipe that will work for all, but worked for us.
Hi all
Been lurking, don't have a lot happening other than the normal stuff.
Day off today!!! So far done 2 loads of washing, dropped DH off at work and trying to get L down for his morning sleep. Off to his crawler's class in just over an hour and then heading down the Coast to visit a friend. So busy afternoon.
Ange - sorry to hear that the shingles are back. Are you in much pain? Hopefully it will be a minor flare up and will be free of it for the rest of your pregnancy. When are you coming up to Brisbane, or have you already been?
Viv - any sign of those teeth yet?
Dianne - got some Jalna too but yet to try it on L. If he doesn't like it I'll eat it!
Julia - has Max popped any teeth yet? This teething business is so carp.
Amber - so do you think the teether necklace works? We've got one of those swings too. L's only been in it a couple of times. Got it set up near the clothes line so he can watch me hang out all his singlets and bibs.
Hey to everyone else. Hope you all have a good day and I'll try to pop in tonight.
Soooooo....I've decided that Max likes to spew like mad when he's teething.....did last time! I stink!
Will BBL
