Hey all!

Amber - Yep, measles are all gone! LOL. Thank goodness, and it looks like Liam has gotten away with not getting them either! YAY!! And it was good becasue my best friend was up from Adleaide, just for this weekend and she is pregnant so Im glad they all cleared up in time so we could see her (you know how pregnant womena re not supposed to be around measles?!) Ooooohhh... not long til Myles' brthday, you organised yet? Oh and Im sure your gonna have Myles TT before I have Liam. He still just refuses!!! LOL

alz - How did you go with curing the vaccuum phobia???

Nerida - Thats great that L is better with his sleeps now! Makes all the differene hey??? How else you been doing?

Trish - Liam stopped daycare last time, becasue he just started hating it. Crying and screaming in the mornings so I stopped for a while and thought I would try him again in 6 months. So now he is starting again on Friday... eeeeep a bit scared but I think I am going to be a bit more firm with him this time and tell him he has to go! LOL. Yay for K and his singing!!

Julia - Hope you get your computer fixed soon!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We certainly did. Had a night out with Anthonys work on Saturday, they are such lovely people. It was fantastic to just get out for a bit. My parents looked after the kids. Ok, better be off to bed now, gotta visit my sister tomorrow, she is in hospital at the moment, just had a major knee reconstruction. She is ok but it is now a long, slow recovery for her, poor thing!

Talk soon!! X

amber - that boob switching sounds like a laugh... he's got you sooo pegged!

i can't see the face of the twins-haver. sorry.

Maddi & I went to Sammi's suprises baby shower on Sat. Had a great time.
Saw Lu & Ange, gosh has Lu a little belly on her looks so cute!

Trish we are having it a Phil's Aunty's in Berwick, Can't believe she'll be 1 next week.

What about my big belly Mo! :p She sure loves her food that girl.
I tried telling Lu to sharpen up and do more walking as Maddi was really showing her up. It seems to be working. ;)

Heya all,

Hope all have been well, slowly leaking back into the forums after having a long long break from the world wide web.

Happy 11months to all the babies, can you believe they are nearly a year old?!? So scary they grow too quick!

Anyways shall leave it here just wanted to say hello to everyone while Ryan's asleep

Hey everyone!

Not much happening here, K has popped a top tooth and another is about to pop so he has been pretty cranky. Today he seems a lot happier though. I wasn't enjoying a screaming bub who continually throws himself backwards in anger! Man he has a temper on him when he is out of sorts :o! His cold was getting better, but yesterday he started coughing again and he has a red rash-looking thing on his left cheek. Not sure what that's about.

DH & I went to the movies on Saturday night to celebrate our 10 years together. My mum came and looked after the boys, I think it was the first time we've gone out alone since we've had K!! We had La Premier tickets (like Gold Class) and went and saw Mamma Mia. No offence to those who liked the movie, but I HATED it!! We had such a nice time out though so it didn't really matter!

Celtic - Hi! Nice to hear from you! How's Ryan going?

Mo - How sweet that Sammi had a suprise baby shower! Who organised it?

Ange - How is your pregnancy going? I was near your neck of the woods on Saturday, we went to the St A market with some friends.

Becky - I'm so glad that Chelsea's measles have gone. That's great you got to go out on Saturday night without the kids, it's nice to have some freedom sometimes! I hope Liam goes OK in daycare this time, I know exactly how you would have felt when Liam was crying.

Amber - Those bike seats are great aren't they? We haven't tried K in ours yet, but DH takes Joel out in it all the time. They have a wonderful time together. I can't believe Myles still poos in the toilet!!

Amelia - Welcome back! It's great to hear from you :)

alz - Sounds like Ethan isn't far off from walking! I hope he gets over his vacuum and water phobias! Let us know how he goes with cows milk.

Misskate - Thanks for not lurking and saying hello LOL! You're organised planning Lachlan's birthday party! I haven't even thought about K's yet :redface:. We have to make it a double party because Joel & K's birthdays are so close!

Saffi - Yay to L for having great night sleeps!!! I hope he keeps it up for you. He is doing lots of tricks now, what a clever boy!

Hi to everyone I've missed!

Good morning all.
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We did... DH had Sun n Mon off work, so headed out hnting on Sun with his mates, then Mon shopping, trying to find his mum a birthday present. Hmmmm now wasn't that fun! lol It was nice just having a bit of time for the three of us.
Tiera has been really whingy the last week or so, very clingy with me and just not happy at all. I think it is her teeth giving her a hard time again and sh has evn been waking at night (which is really unlike her). Last night she was a very tired little princess so I gave her some baby nerofin n put her to bed at 6:45 (which is about half n hr early for her) and she slept throgh without so much as stiring until 7am this morning! She has ben in the best mood this morning, its been a lot of fun. atm she is down having a nap, so hopefully we will have a great afternoon!

Trish - Its so horrible when the little ppl r out of sorts! I really hope K is feeling better soon!
Boomba - Tiera loves the bike too! I have been taking her out each afternoon for the past couple of months now and I too feel great. They look so gorgeous in their little helmuts dont they?! :)
Celtic - Good to hear from u again. Its funny how so many of us have just came back after a fair break! :-) Hope Ryan is doing weel. And I see u r going to start TTC as of Nov, I wish u all the best of luck with that!
Becky - So glad to hear Chels is better. That must have been so horrible for you all. Hope Liam isn't getting it too!
MissKate - Good to hear from u. Good to hear things are going well for you. Hope to see you around here again soon
alz - How funny.... Tiera hates the vacum too! Silly thing is I am the one that vacuums n whe I turn it on she just wants me, so insted of running away, she runs to me! hahaha Josh too tries to make it a game, but T doesn't want a bar of it. Nice to hear from again. Hope 2 c u around here more often.
Amelia - lol My biggest fear is having twins! I have twins that run in BOTH sides of my family. Theygo back generations, but my nan had twins and I have twin brothers, so when we started TTC with Tiera, I was sooooo paranoid! lol and I know I will be with the next one too!

Anyways I really have to get Tiera's birthday invites done n sent!
Take care all
PS I hope I haven't missed anyone

Ange your belly is no bigger than mine, but it does look very cute lol
Yay for Lu, glad Maddi got her motivated :)
Ange love the pic on FB (you know what one i'm talking about lol)

Trish Ange & Maz organized it & they had it at Melbels.
Also Congrats on hitting 10 yrs, that's great :)

Mo was just thinking of you yesterday! How is everything going?

Trish i live for the falafel at St A's market. Yummmmmm. I love that market, so chilled out. I'm a bit of a mearket freak though!

Mo- :p

Amber- i think i'll get lu a bike seat for her birthday. Hope she likes it though! Like the monkey suit. ;)

Hi girls, I have only just realised that there is a new thread :cryinglaugh: I thought it was strange that no one had posted in so long. I am losing the plot!

Anyhow's .... its only 18 days until we will be celebrating Tay's 1st birthday! I cannot believe my baby is turning 1! And she is getting such a big girl now, she crawls at 100 miles an hour, pulls herself to her knees and this morning went to stand to try and get a bottle. This is a big achievement, as both my girls have low body tone, meaning they dont do these things early! Mia didnt walk until 18 months, so we will see if Tay is any quicker.

Other than that not much news, all getting over the last few weeks of being sick with the horrid flu that is travelling around. Still have a niggley cough, hoping that goes away soon!

I hope you are all well, wanted to say hi and glad that I found you all again!

LOL Kazaraz! I reckon that's what happens with most of our newbies, they always seem to disappear when the thread closes! Welcome back :). Yay to Taygan for pulling herself to her knees!

Ange - I'm a bit of a market addict too LOL! Have you ever been to the Camberwell market? I haven't tried the falafels at St A's, I love their coffee though and I love how they give you a real mug that you can take around with you while you look around.

Pish - I hope a Tiera pops a tooth and goes back to her happy self! What did you end up getting your MIL? We have to buy MIL a pressie for her birthday this weekend and have NO idea what to get!

Evening all!

L's latest trick is him giving me the object he's holding when I put my hand out and say "ta". It only took about 2 mins to teach him that. He's copying everything we do. Is anyone else finding that?

The other night I kissed him on his forehead and then kissed his teddy, then kissed him again. He then held up his teddy for me to kiss again. We did that at least 10 times. So cute.....

After 4 good nights had a few bad nights. He's also been waking at 6am. Can only get worse as summer gets closer.

Amelia - great to hear from you.
Becky - we've been really well, thanks for asking.
Trish - KWYM about Mamma Mia! I was interested how they wove the songs into the story. It was worth going just to hear that Pierce Brosnan can't sing! L has a temper too! Had a major Mr Crankypants going on yesterday.

Anyway, hi to everyone else.

Saffi you sound like you have a smart little fella, the only things Tay is saying is Mum, Dad, and she tries to say Mia and Benji (the dog). But she is copying actions and also helping Mia do things she is not meant to be doing! The cutest is when you tell her to come to you and she gets her speed up to get to you whilst pulling a scrunched up little face! They are great at this age that is for sure. STAY AWAY TERRIBLE TWO'S!!!!!! :wall:

Hello all,
Caden is still booby fed and is on about 4 feeds a day, although the last few days he has dropped a feed so I have been feeling fairly full! I always express in the evenings so I can use the milk the next day (and have avoided lumps which I got heaps in teh begining) in his food. Not sure what is going on but he doesn't seem to mind it. He still wakes up at around 4am for a big feed and then wont have any when he wakes up at 7, but whilst I don't like the broken sleep, I figure I will just go with the flow for a while and see how he goes.

Saffi - wow he sounds so smart! My lil fella is only just getting the hang of mumma, dadda, nanna, nana (like banana) and normal gibberish. He is so happy to get into bed and grab his doggy and suck his thumb that he doesn't give a second thought to kissing me goodnight! That is so gorgeous tho, I love it how they are getting so much more interactive.

Quick question - do any of your babies snore? My lil fella does a fair bit, almost puts his dad to shame. Not sure if I should worry?

As for us, I think the molars might be on the move because he had a really terrible day the other day. Things have settled down now tho so hopefully they are a way off. I hate the teething and it really seems to bother him, so fingers crossed they either come quickly or stay away.

Well, have a great week everyone:D

Wow I can't believe I am the first to write in here today, we are usually the last ones up, but since returning from Fiji, Tiera now gets up at 6:30ish. :( I love my sleep! lol

Saffi - I find that Tiera does a lot of copying these days! Her latest trick is waving to everyone. It is so much fun when they imitate you, and pick up on so much... It makes playing with them so funny! :-) It does sound like you have a clever little man.
Trish - Tiera is all back to normal again so I dunno if that freak'n tooth will come through just yet! Its driving me bonkers so I can only imagine what she feels like... Poor little bubbas have to go through so much! We got MIL wine glasses for her birthday. She only has plastic ones and drinks a lot of ine so it just didnt make any sence!
Dragonbub - Tiera only snores when her little nose is stufy... Which I guess isn't really snoring. I haven't heard of a snoring baby before! :)

As for us..... hmmmm we really aren't very exciting! Nothing going on around here atm! Tiera is laughing at EVERYTHING this morning... It is too cute.
Oooooooooooh.... We had friends over the other night and they have a little boy the same age as T (3 days older to be exact!) and the two of them were playing in a little tunnel we have and Tiera started poking her head in and out of it, playing peek-a-boo with him!!!! He was laughing his head off... It was so funny and oh so cute! They play amazing well together, better than with any other babies.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Trish- Heya, how are your gorgeous boys going? Ryan's currently sucking down a bottle in his rocker. He has been a bit sick and spread it around the family we are pulling him out of daycare in 2wks as he has been so ill from there and needs to get his left ear tested from all the ear infections he's got. Congrats on 10 years together and I hope K feels better soon, Ry's getting teeth #7 & 8 at the moment so isn't all that happy either!

Pish- Thank you, I was actually really suprised DP said he was having so much fun with Ry now and he's so much easier to look after and a lot more independant he was wondering if I'd consider another one! I'm sort of scared to go through it all again but know you make it out the other side with a gorgeous little bundle to show for it so hoping things go smoother next time. Getting my last cervical cancer shot today and chicken pox in 4wks then good to go :-). How's the cranky one today? Teeth still hurting? How many does she have now?

Saffi- Aww how cute, yes Ry is being a copy cat too, waves bye-bye and trying for ta, we get 'ga' close enough hehe.

Question for those with older ones, when do they start walking? Ryan pulls himself to stand on everything and shuffles along to reach for things and can let go and stand for about 3 seconds before going plonk on his hiney, should he be doing more or less at 11months?

We had the worst night last night ... the girls refused to go to bed, and when we finally got Tay to sleep Mia woke her up. So it took another hour to settle her. Mia refused to go to sleep and got out of bet at least 6 times (I stopped counting). I ended up giving her a dose of panadol and another bottle just to get her to bed. Then she was upset as she has bitten a hole in her dummy, and being 2 and a half, I dont think I want to get her another one. But am trying to be strong on that, because its so easy to give them a dummy for comfort. SO I dont know if her teeth are hurthing or what, but she gives that dummy a really good work out. So after no settling, and getting about again at about 1 I caved and let her come to bed with me. This was then followed by Tay about 1/2 hour later waking up. She come in as well and had a bottle, then decided it was playtime! So she was put back into her cot, and surprisingly went back to sleep. Mia has woken up today with a runny nose and is being whingy. I am praying that its not the flu back, as we have just had 4 weeks of it in our house! *sigh* That is my vent! Sorry to bore you all.

Dragonbub - my oldest (No 2 and a half) snores. I dont think its anything to worry about, but maybe just mention it to your gp to be on the safe side.

Celticmoon - Mia didnt walk until 18 months, but in saying that, she was late because she has low body tone. In my mother's group, they all did it at different stages. Starting at 10 months, to 18 months. I think they all do it at their own pace. If your little one is pulling himself up, he is getting there!

I hope the day gets better!

Kazaraz- Sounds like a rotten night how are YOU feeling today? I'm dead to the world without sleep don't feel human at all, hope you all get to sneak in a nap today :-). Thanks for the info, the dr's always ask what Ryan is doing, he only just started to crawl properly (my god he moves fast!) before that he was a belly crawler and they were stressing me about it but like you said they all do it in there own time :). Fingers crossed for a better night for you all, I can't complain Ryan slept till 4am and went straight back down after his belly was re-filled till just before 7.

Has anyone had the cervical cancer vaccine? Had my last one today my arm is ill tempered about it but I knew it was coming :P

So far celtic I am ok, but Tay has crashed. She got up and I could tell she was still tired, so I fed her toast and she went back down with a bottle. Needless to say she is still asleep. I am going to take the girls out this afternoon, we have been couped up in the house all week and I think we have cabin fever!

A nap sounds very enticing though!

He sounds like he is doing well to me, Tay is almost 12 months and she has only been crawling properly for a few weeks! She was rocking on all fours for ages, then started belly crawling, then crawling properly but backwards, before she finally took off. Like your little one, there is no stopping her now. They look so cute when they motor along I think!

Trish- Happy annaversary that sounds like a lovely night out! Our 3yr annaversary is only a few weeks away and NFI what we will do cause its such a busy month for us.
its MIL,SIL and dh bday within 3 days of each other, than annaversary then Ty's bday then my neices.
Anyway i have sent out Ty's bday invites, i used an online place that u pic the template then send the pics, really quick and easy and very happy with them. We are having a do on sunday 12th, but not huge mostly just family and a few friends. I have picked the cake i will make a catapillar its very cute!

ok i come in here to update on why i havent been in long and dragonbub what Nixon is going through atm may be of some interest to you

:

---

Quick question - do any of your babies snore? My lil fella does a fair bit, almost puts his dad to shame. Not sure if I should worry?

:D

---

Basically children should NOT snore. if they do its worth mentioning it next time at the docs and get it checked out. It may be a case of being clogged up i know i snore if i have a cold.
But Nixon has ALWAYS snored even as a baby, we didnt think much of it but the last 2 motnsh it has gotten severe, he struggles to breath in his sleep to the point i had to video it so i had proof. we saw our gp who reffered us to a ENT (ear nose, throat) specialist, which we saw YESTERDAY.
without even going for a sleep study or anything we are booked for surgery, he has quiet bad sleep apnea (stops breathing n his sleep) and has to have his tonsils and adenoids out. Doc wanted to do it 13th oct but the day before Ty's 1st birthday i didnt want to do. so its booked for the day after his bday on the 15th.
we have a hearing test booked for next thursday and depeneding on the outcome of that is if he may need grommets in his ears.

BBL to finish

back- it can also cause learning difficulties and beahvourial problems because they are not getting the required quality of sleep they need.
Nixon has always been a LONG sleeper but its prob all connected.
At 2.5yrs he still sleeps 2-3hrs during the day and a further 10-12hrs at night. his body is working hard o get the sleep he needs, then he wakes up very cranky because he hasnt had quality sleep.
sorry dont want to worry you into something Caden may not have, but had i heard someone going through this earlier i may have gotten onto it sooner too.....

Celtic - Tiera is much better today, but no sign of anymore teeth!!! I just wish I pull them all down so she doesn't have to go through all of this. She only has the two botom teeth! So there are a lot more to come yet!
I too have had the c/c vaccine (I've had 2 now) and they were horrible! I had my 2nd dose last week and it really hurt. lol I am a BIG hater of needles so booking in to have one almost makes me cry! :D
Kazaraz - I hope you get some sleep this afternoon and you have a better night tonight, I know its bad enough when you have a bad night with one bub, let alone haveing two little kidlings to contend with!

Holy crap Nickers- That would have been alot for you to take in. You go to the Dr's about snoring and next thing you know your little man is booked in for surgery. Glad they got onto it promptly though. Will be thinking of you all on the 15th. :hug:

Afternoon!

Just got back from a big birthday and Christmas present shopping spree at Mattel. A friend forwarded a discount flier and I got 30% off everything! Any Melbourne girls interested, the offer is until this Saturday at the Mattel Playhouse in Collingwood. There is 30% off all stock (Fisher Price, Mattel, etc.), including off already reduced items. PM me with your email address if you want me to forward you the flier :).

Saffi - L definitely sounds like a clever little man :D. K is copying off us too, he learned to wave when I showed him once the other day and to high-five. Now I have to think of more tricks! I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like Mamma Mia! Pierce Brosnan should not quit his day job :P.

Kazaraz - Sorry you had such a blurrgh night :hug:. It's horrible when they both keep you up. My eldest sometimes wakes us all up because he's lost a sock :rolleyes:. I hope you are taking it nice and easy today.

Celtic - I'm glad to hear Ryan is doing well :). How annoying that he keeps getting ear infections. Ryan sounds like he is developing nicely! K is still commando crawling, he's so slow to do things. Joel was doing what Ryan is doing at the same age. I thought he wouldn't be far off walking, but he didn't start walking properly until 14 months. Good luck TTC next month, how exciting!!

Dragonbub - I was going to suggest getting Caden looked at too next time you see your GP or MCHN regarding his snoring. None of my boys have been snorers.

Pish - I'm glad Tiera is happier today. How cute playing with her little friend! Yuck at those needles :o

Nic - Wow, it sounds like a busy time of year for you! Those invites sound great! Poor Nixon, what a horrible procedure he has to have :(.

K is meant to be napping atm, but I think I stretched him out too long and now he is sooking in his cot. Think I'll have to get him up and start again...

Hi everyone, long time no speakie!

Fell off the radar there for a month after we moved as we had no internet connection. I ended up sacking our provider and getting a new one.

Well we still haven't fully settled in, we only managed to get the house mostly decorated so still have the rest to do and subsequently there's same boxes everywhere but it's beginning to come together!

The children are doing great - Harry is 1 next month and is walkIng holding onto my hand, blowing kisses, waving and shaking his head for no. Very cute! Emily is just such a big girl! Has taken to wearing only fairy/princess costumes and refuses to go out without a fairy wand or tutu on!

Hope you're all well x

Nic - that would be really scary to have N booked in immediately for surgery like that. But at least it's being attended to now while he is still young.
Dragon - L doesn't snore as such but is a heavy breather. He has been sick more or less since he started at daycare so I guess it is to be expected.
Celtic - I'm too old to have the guardisil shot. Did have a pap smear test today tho (sorry TMI). I remember you saying very early on that your DP wasn't very keen on spending time with Ryan. I think its hard for men in the early days. But as they grow and become more independent that's where Dads really come into their own. You'll probably find with the next baby that he's more confident around newborns as he's done it all before.
Claire - glad to hear that you're settling in. I would die if I didn't have the Net for even a day. How cute, fairy outfits. I suppose the boys will want to wear a super hero outfit or something soon enough. As long as its not a fairy outfit (not that there's anything wrong with that LOL).
Trish - I wish I was in Melbourne so I could go to the Mattel shop! Our house is like a F P showroom as it is.
Kaz - hopefully tonight will be better for you. That's one thing that scares me about having 2 kids. Its hard enough to manage one sometimes.
Tiff - I love watching L interact with his little friends. L's still at the stage where he's happy playing on his own or being close to me (which I love).

Think we are teething again. L's been rubbing at his ear. When we picked him up from daycare it was all red and looked like blood. They were very quick to reassure us it was paint. Sure enough it came off in the bath. L's got 8 teeth so I guess its probably molars now (is that right?).

Day off tomorrow so heading out to our State Library for their children's activity time.

Have a good evening all.

FINALLY back! Will catch up and post tomorrow!

HI everyone
Sorry, I've been lurking a bit too, but thought I'd actually say Hi today!

Mo - weekend swimming lessons are hard to come by around us, they are all full! So we thought we'd start midweek and then maybe move to Saturday when a spot becomes available

Trish - congrats on your anniversary. Might have to take you up on the offer for the Mattel voucher!

Pish - I meant to ask, how did Tiera go in Fiji with the weather, flights etc? There is a possibility we will be going next year (YAY!) for a wedding and I wasnt sure how Tahlia would go?

Nickers - best of luck to Nixon for his surgery, I'm sure he will be fine. Will be thinking of you

Julia - Welcome Back!

Not much new with us, Tahlia has been really miserable since about Monday, I'm wondering if there are some teeth on the way. She hasnt been interested in her solids at all, and is also less interested in b/f's? Does that sound normal for teething? I actualy woke up engorged this morning, and had to express a bit cause it hurt! That hasnt happened for a long time!

We are also starting to think about the birthday party. Have ordered some invitations, and I'm now thinking about the cake. I got one of the womens weekly party cake books for my baby shower, but they all look so hard! I really want to make it myself though

Have a great day everyone!

Morning girls, we had a slightly better night last night. I think I am going to have to take my 2 year old to the doctors, something just doesnt seem right and she is getting hysterical for no reason. She is also chewing so hard on her dummies that she has split two in the past week, so I am wondering if there is something wrong with her teeth?

Anyway one other thing I wanted to ask, we are in Melbourne (Hampton Park) and I need to organise a cake for Tay. I got one for my husbands birthday a couple of weeks ago and it was ordinary, so has anyone got any suggestions of who does nice cakes around here? I wanted a sponge decorated. This is the hardest thing about being new to our area, I have no idea about where to get these things!

Tay's party plans are well under way :dance: I just cant believe my baby is one!

Kazaraz - cant help with a suggestion for a cake place, cause I am over the other side of Melbourne, but it might be better to post this question in one of the other threads as more people will see it (and hopefully someone who lives near you!)

Good Luck!

OK thanks, so that leads to my other question, how do I post a thread? I tried to work it out yesterday and didnt have any luck :(

Afternoon all
No news! Today is MIL b'day we are all going out for dinner, but thts about it.
Trish - Your shopping spree sounds fantastic! Wish we had something like that around these parts!
Saffi - I bet your little man enjoyed his play time at the library! We dont have anything like that here... I really wish we lives in a bigger town purely for the social activities for kiddies
Kellie - Great tohear from you! That pic of Tahlia looks just like my cousin! lol She is so cute! Tiera did really well on the flight over... It is such an early flight that she fell asleep as soon as the plane started backing out from the terminal and slept a good couple of hrs. Over there she was an angel and loved going for a swim each day. Oh also the resort staff would just walk over to me and take her off me! hahaha They love having cuddles and the men are just as bad as the women! It was fantastic. As for the flight home she did play up a bit but only cuz she was over tired and I was really sick so my mum had to deal with her. After T carried on for a while I put her in her sleeping bad (which when that is on she know she its time for a sleep) she was sleep a couple of mins later and woke just before we were due to land. There was another baby on that flight and the take off and landing really effected him... He would cry the poor lil thing! Fiji is beautiful so if u do go over there you'll have a great time!
Kazaraz - Glad to hear u had a bit of a better night last night! I hope ur 2y/o is ok and not in too much pain!
Take care all

Kazaraz - Sorry, I can't help you with cake shops in your area either. I get mine from a bakery in our local shopping centre. To post a new thread, go to the section you want to post it, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There is a button on the left-hand side of the screen that says "New Thread" (directly above the heading "Display Options"). Click on the "New Thread" button and you should be able to create your thread. HTH :)

Kazaraz can't help either, A Friend of the family is making Maddi's & i think she lives over Oakleigh way.

Amber doing ok here, I have a head cold, sore throat & i feel like carp.

Had our 12wk u/s yesterday & Cookie was very active.
Cookie was waving at us, showing us their feet. Alot more active than Maddi was.
We even got the same sonographer who did Maddi's u/s! She loved seeing Maddi.
Hopefully I'll get my NT results on Monday & then i can start to relax :)
Had my OB & G.I app today & everything is going well with them both.
Got to hear Cookie's hb today as-well, it's so nice hearing it!

So much to catch up on I can't do it!!! I just hope everyone is well and will keep in the loop a bit more from now on.

Max is a zoomer of a crawler now and has started pulling himself up and standing like a big boy, he also walks when I'm holding his hands. He wants to do this constantly. His sleep has totally gone up the creek though....30 min naps which are driving me a bit insane (hence not being able to read everything!) and night time he wakes maybe 4 times! I don't know what the deal is! I'm not one to leave him to cry either so meh! I just deal with it! I gave him panadol the other night before bed just to see what would happen and he slept better so who knows! The only night he slept through was the other day when DH went out and got drunk, so I was awake thinking about what a moron he was being instead of making the most of Max sleeping thru! At least I know that Max can do it!!!

Anyway, must go, hope everyone is well (Mo & Ange with your bumps!) and happy!

Trish- probably a good thing I don't live in Mel, be so tempted and we haven't got our tax back yet! Gratz on the savings every bit counts :). Thank you for the well wishes, DP was told he couldn't have kids so we are hoping things have repaired and not just a lucky once off 'shot' lol. Shall see how we go. Can't try TTC till a month after my chicken pox shot in October can't wait to have all the needles out the way until all the preggie ones again! I keep getting flash backs of things I'd forgotten, the craps, the sleepless nights, making me think maybe I shouldn't go back again LOL.

Saffi- Yeah I need one of those, I'm sort of over a year late... dum de dum *acts all innocent* do you think they'd believe I'm still a virgin and Ry was an immaculate conception? :P. Yes it was really upsetting he didn't have much to do with him for a few months when Ryan just sort of laid around and didn't do much but since about 6months onwards and especially lately he's been spending heaps of time with him, they have pillow/wrestle fights on the bed all you can hear is Ryan peein himself laughing and laughing and DP holds his hands and takes him for walks around the house and plays 'aeroplanes' with him. Whether he likes it or not he's going to be more involved :P Even if it's distracting Ryan while I deal with the iddybiddy.

Kazaraz- is there any local bakery's near you? Got my DP a mud cake covered in cream and strawberries and chocolate shavings was absolutely massive for $19 which is pretty reasonable for a bday cake :)

Anyone else got the household itch? I've been cleaning and rearranging all day I'm exhausted!

Hey girls, so I took Mia to the doctors this morning. She has a sore throat and an ear infection again! So after two sleepless nights, lots of crying and us getting upset because she is upset at least we know there is something wrong. The thing is, everytime I have been to the doctors in the last few months, 4 times, she has always got a sore throat and an ear infection! My DH wants to go to the ENT Specialist and see what they say, I am more hesitant to wait, I think because I am hoping that its just another virus! Roll on the warmer weather!

Anyway, I posted a thread regarding cakes and a few of the girls have made suggestions so that is great. I made Mia's but am not so keen to do Tay's myself. I really should.

Celtic - maybe I could get you to courier one down to us in Melb, as that sounds great :dance: haha

Trinity - glad to hear your pregnancy is going well, how exciting! I am starting to really get clucky about having another baby. I said to my DH one more is it (much to his disappointment). I said I just dont feel done, he said you are going to have to stop having babies one day, how sad is that prospect. I cant imagine life with no baby around the house!

Trish - thanks heaps for your instructions on posting a thread, sometimes I think I am a bit dopey haha. I used to be so much more computer friendly before I had a husband that knews everything about computers! Now I just get him to do things for me and help me.

Anyway, thanks guys for your suggestions and thoughts on the cake!

Enjoy your night x :hug:

Celtic you can come to my house and clean all you like hun;)
mo so glad cookie is going well! i hope you feel better soon!
Julia! woohoo on max being so active! Maybe he will walk soon and this is why he is waking? Hope he sleeps through again soon for you! By the way we missed you:)
