Wow, thanks Christine, I've never had a new thread for my birthday before!

Thanks heaps Amber! You're so sweet to make the effort to post when you're so tired .

DH is currently cooking us bacon and eggs for brekky, mmmm....My boys bought me a pair of Colorado shoes and a book. All picked out by me so no surprises, but at least I got exactly what I wanted! MIL came over last night and gave me some new PJ's (she has great taste in clothing), a cute jewelry box, a mug, some chocolate and flowers. I'm VERY spoilt! Tonight we're having a family dinner at my mum's house so it should be a nice day .

Have a great weekend everyone!

Morning all,

Happy Birthday Trish, hope you have a lovely day, sounds like you are being spoiled.

Bella has finally cut her two top teeth. She was grizzly at midnight which is very unusual for her, so I got up and put some gel on her gums and wow I felt a point. Still no signs of crawling yet but it will happen soon enough. My friend lent me her jolly jumper and she absolutely loves it.
Ok the kids are getting up now and need to get breakfast ready, hope everyone has a great day.

Regards,
Dianne

Happy Birthday Trish
Hope you have a great day.

Had my OB appointment yesterday went really well, Cookie measured 9 weeks & 4 days.
But going to stick with my old EDD as it was done earlier.
New OB seems really nice so i'm really happy with him.
NT scan is booked in for the 17th of Sept & i see my OB the next day.

M slept from 8pm till 9am this morning, i sooo needed a good night's sleep & feel so much better today!
Hope everyone else had a good night's sleep as-well.

[Willow]

Happy Birthday Trish!!!!

Mo - congrats on the great scan and apt. Can't believe you're going to Ob appts again! LOL.

[YoYo]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISH! Hope you have a fab day!

I am getting my hair cut today.....soooo excited...going really short!

Yay Mo....great about your OB appt. Glad to hear Maddi let you have a sleep overnight.... P.S Is your Maddi a Madison or a Madeleine?

HOpe everyone has a good weekend....back Monday

[Saffi]

Happy birthday Trish
(21 again?)

Mo - good news about your OB visit.
Julia - hope you have a good day at the hairdressers.
Dianne - congrats on the teeth coming through.

Up twice overnight to L and one of my dogs who was crying cos it was so windy. Ended up having the dog on the bed with us until it died down. I was rewarded with a morning nap once DH got up.

For all the boy bubs how much do they weigh at the moment? Weighed L on Thursday and he was 9.95kg.

Went to Aldi today and picked up some nappies and wipes. Going to see what all the fuss is about. I can't believe how cheap they are. Hopefully they will work for L.

L tried kangaroo today. We had leftovers from dinner last night so I made a mash with the meat and vegies. He loved it. Figure I'll start him early on these things before he gets sentimental about it. The boy is definitely a meat and 3 veg kind of bub.

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

[diannescruffy]

Morning all,

Minimax-it's great getting your hair done, had mine cut two days ago just above my shoulders, was half way down my back, feels great.
Saffi-let me know how the Aldi nappies go, been meaning to try some too, use huggies but getting bit expensive.

A friend of mine lent me her jolly jumper and Bella absolutelely loves it. She may get strength in her legs which will hopefully help with the crawling.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Regards,
Dianne

just a quick one....

Happy Birthday for yesterday Trish!
Hope you had a great day

Mo - glad to hear your appointment went well

[nickers]

Happy belated Birthday Trish!!
sounds like you got spoilt and so you should too!

yes i lost my wallet last Monday night. I was at our tupperware office and was dark when i left, i hadnt put my car keys in my usualy spot of my bag so when i got to my car i opened the bag up on the ground next to my car, my wallet must have dropped out when i have done this....
Next morning had our distributor have a look for me, they looked at the train station near by in bushes all sorts but never found it. I cancelled my cc's and they hadnt been used thankfully.
BUT cause my car was broken into the fortnight b4 i did actually have a cc and bank card stolen which i didnt realise straight away. anyway i had only just got them back, got up to the bank and changed the pin numbers and put them in my wallet, now i need new ones again and hadnt even used the old ones!
this week i have to renew all my other cards, thats if i can eve remember everything that was in it, and still gotta get my license. but its hard when all these trades ppl keep stuffing me around and dont turn up when they are suppose to! i swear they must think my life consists of waiting around for them and i have nothing else to do in the day.

Mo- great news on your scan day, wont take long to come around. have u decided if you are finding out the sex?

Sleeps- Ty is having 2 day sleeps now one usually a 30-40min one and one is usually 1-2hrs, but he is getting longer in between. he woke at 7.30am thismorning so at 10am went to put him for a sleep, he carried on a treat end up getting him up for another hour then he went to bed peacfully at 11am!

i had a linen party yesterday, was funny being on the other side of party planning! was great though i got about $300 to spend sales for the party were almost $2500 which was a big shock!
today has been washing day. caught up on about 5 loads of washing, washed the car seats, the cars, the pram, vacuumed the cars, boys had fun outside helping too (put Nix in gumboots and raincoat and he got stuck into the car washing!

Nixon loved the jolly jumper. I hardly used it with Ty and a few wks ago pulled it out and put him in it, i think he is too big for it his head was just about touching the bar bit above him! he just prefers to crawl around now and pull himself up on EVERYTHING.

I think Ty weighs about 10.5kg now, which is big but he was 10kg at 8months so he's slowed down a lot and only put on 500g in the last 2 months.
ive been trying a few other nappies (mainy cause now the closest aldi to me is a hassel to get to gotta go into westfields) but im reverting back, i think they are one of the best for absorbancy and price

[Willow]

he woke at 7.30am thismorning so at 10am went to put him for a sleep, he carried on a treat end up getting him up for another hour then he went to bed peacfully at 11am!

Nickers - some sorta thing has been happening here on and off occasionally the last few weeks so thinking he might be ready for more awake time in between sleeps. He is usually fine with about 2.5 hours in the monring before another sleep but seems to want to be awake for a longer stretch in the middle of the day.

[Khaleesi]

Happy 11 months to my Princess!
Can't believe she'll be 1 in a month, it's gone too quickly.

Willow it feels strange to be going to OB appointments again lol.

Julia hope you like your new hair cut, sure it's looks great.

Nic I still don't wont to find out, sure it'll change on the day of the scan tho lol.

Day sleeps M usually has 2 60-90mins naps or one 2 & a half hr nap.
She's not much of a day sleeper now.

M's a little sick had a fever yesterday & kept waking all night cause she was too hot.
Fever is gone today & she's been a sleep for just over 2hrs, Hoping she feels better when she wakes up.

Hope everyone is well.

[nickers]

[Khaleesi]

[Khaleesi]

Amber those cakes you donated to the RSPCA are fantastic!
Any chance you can get Geoff to mail me an Elmo cake lol

I have one very cranky/clingy baby girl, She's even refusing most of her bottles which is not like her at all.

[boomba]

lol MO i can ask cant see it happening though!!! you can get elmo images i think which goes on top, maybe ask your local cake shop or supermarket!
Myles has been really unsettled to today! Hope they are better tomorrow!
Trish so glad you had a great birthday you derserve it!
Dianne Yay for teeth! The jolly jumpers are great!
Nick isnt it a PIA loosing your wallet! Having to replace evrything is so tidias(sp?)!

So not much happening here! Myles has been getting better with the sleeping! But i have decided to give a dummy a go! I really dont think i will be able to introduce it this late but i really want my boobies back at night! So will see how we go!
i finally bought a new push bike! We have a seat for Myles so we can all go riding! Really looking forward to it and loosing weight!
Myles has finally started clapping hands! He also washes his face like Macca pacca from the night garden soo cute! He was taking so long to pick up clapping i was so stoked when he did it!

Anyway hope everyone is well! Sweet dreams xx

[~Trish~]

Hey all!

Been a bit busy, I got a whole heap of new stock so I've been washing, cleaning, photographing etc...Still have to put it all on the site yet!

Thanks for the birthday wishes, I had a great day. Poor Joel ended up with a couple of eggs on his head on the day though, he kept bashing his head into things! He had kinder photos today and has a nice gash across his forehead from the weekend, so the gash will be imortalised now LOL.

K has been pretty cranky and has been waking a few times o'night so I'm guessing a tooth is coming through. Luckily all he needs is his dummy and to be tucked in and he'll go back to sleep. I've been generous with the Panadol too lately!

Amber - GL introducing the dummy! Would you consider trying Myles back in the hammock? That way you could rock him in it to go back to sleep? Joel slept in his until he was nearly 2!

Mo - Happy belated 11 months to Maddi! Wow, I can't believe she is nearly one .

Nic - What a pain about your purse! Hopefully you get all your new cards ASAP.

Dianne - Both my boys loved their Jolly Jumper, it's a great invention isn't it?!

Saffi - What do you think of the Aldi nappies? I love them for overnight, we've never had a leak. I don't use their wipes though, I can't go past the nice thick Huggies ones!

Julia - I hope you like your new haircut! Is Max doing any new moves?

Better run, K just woke up from a nap. Have a great day!
