Heading up there this weekend to stay for the first time! Counting down the days till christmas cause it means we will have a full week wiht DH and no work yay!
Better go Myles was just up and will probably be up and ready to come to my bed! kisses to all the bubs xxx
Amber - my faves are itti bitti dlishs - I have about 8 of them! Ive also got some baby beehinds, swaddlebees, happy heinys and berry plushes. They are so addictive! I am getting into trouble every time I buy a new one, my latest purchase is a WC night nappy, so I'll be in trouble when that arrives too!
Enjoy your trip away!
Kellie Ittibittis are my fav too! i love my beetlebums but they are so hard to get! I dont like the berry plush really and we dont use them? but i am heading to the post office now to pick up some more! hahaha! DH will kill me! lol!
Amber i really want to try a bettlebum, i'm always looking out for one.
I also want to try a GK & Ecobub.
Berry Plushes don't work for us, Maddi's thighs are just too chunky for them.
Beetlebums are devine! I managed to get a night pocket and a minky one! Julia that sounds cute! Dont have any christmas ones for myles hmmm maybe i should??? lol
Well Myles finally went down at 7:45! omg i was so cranky poor bubba! He never fights sleep but i dont know why he was tonight! Hope he sleeps for a while so i can get some rest! Have joined a gym so have been doing some classes which i love but am soo tired!
Amber, Max was fighting tonight too....like his eyes had weightbelts on them but he held them open GOOD! He knows what is happening so just doesn't want to sleep....
Took him to the doctor today and he had his needles...yucky....but then she looked in his mouth coz he has been dribbling SOOOOOO much and his gums all around the teeth that are already there are really red and puffy and awful....so question...can teething gums get infected??? His teeth seem to take forever to grow fully so am assuming they are red coz they are still coming down, but geezus they look bl00dy awful....the doc didn't think anything though and just thought the teeth were growing.
LUCKY I got my amber necklace today so will see how it goes....DH laughed at me when I showed him!
Be back tomoz....I need some DH time on the couch! It never seems to happen anymore!
I have my feet up for a few minutes while K is sleeping and Joel is at kinder! DH & I are going out for his work Christmas party tonight, another one! This one is more casual. Mum is coming over to look after the boys and I'm looking forward to a night out.
Julia - Ouch, poor Max! I have no idea about gum infections sorry.
Amber - You're such a good girl going to the gym! I'm too tired in the evening to contemplate doing excersise LOL!
Mo - Of course I don't mind you texting me when Cookie is born! I will be so excited when I hear the news!!!
alz - Sorry to hear you have been so sick, I hope you get better soon.
Rebecca - Not long to go now until you move, how exciting!
Becky - How are Liam & Chelsea going? We haven't heard much about them lately!
Kellie - Enjoy staying at Phillip Island next weekend! I'm sure Tahlia will sleep fine there, K surprised me with how well he slept away. The only problem is that he tends to wake up earlier in the morning.
Karen - I hope Tay has kept up the sleeping through for you!
Hi to everyone I've missed, hope you all have a great weekend
Went and brought Maddi her a pair of Havaianas thongs, she looks so cute "walking" in them.
Maddi also starts her swim lessons this Sunday, i really hope she enjoys them.
sorry i havent had time to catch up on all posts and heading to bed now just want to say I am still here and havhe been extremley busy with work. kids/house the rest of it.
i will try and get myself a little more up to date over the weekend but hope everyone is well!
Hey girls, just a quick post because I need to go wash my hair dye off ... hehe. Bruno got home from Sydney tonight, yay. A week without him sucked, but he is back for the weekend. Back to Sydney Monday and home again Wednesday, but my parents are here now so it wont be so bad. We are heading out tomorrow night, cant wait. We are going out for dh's work dinner then we have a room in the city. This will be our first night away from the kids, so we are apprehensive and excited at the same time! I have my outfit sorted and in the morning am getting my hair in curls which will be intersting! If it looks bad I will just wash it out I guess. I might even get my nails done, still mulling that one over. I have 6 relatively long ones now and 4 that wont grow, so I am wondering whether to ruin the good ones with acrylic ones!
Other than that, not much sleep happening here. Tay has cut two teeth, skipped her eye teeth and cut the next ones back at the top. Does anyone know what they are called? Anyway, no wonder she has been a grumpy girl of late. Fingers crossed she sleeps through for my parents tomorrow night!
Catch up later girls ... so much for my short post!
hey kaz,
the ones next to the eye teeth are molars and they are apparently supposed to come through before the eye teeth so tay is clever doing everything by the book
Saw Kellie, Tahlia, Ange & Lulu today.
All the babies are growing up so quickly it was great seeing them.
Maddi kept stealing Lulu's food trying to get into Tahlia's food & taking both Lulu's & Tahlia's drink bottles but other than that she was fairly well behaved.
Maddi's swim lesson also went well, she wasn't sure as first but by the end she was laughing & having a great time.
Just wanted to apologise for all my negative me me me posts of late! Max has been really awful so I have just been 'using' you all to vent! Want to say thanks for letting me! Sorry I never seem to focus on anyone else either and I just want to slap myself for it! I really hope everyone is going well and even though I haven't really read much of what's going on I think about you all the same!
Max seems to have perked up a bit seeing as I took him to another doctor and they put him on antibiotics. It looks like he had yellow pus around the teeth that have been there for a while and I wasn't just going to let some doctor fob me off saying it was teething coz it just wasn't right. He even slept in his own bed for a little while last night, after a few nights of fighting so hard going to sleep that I would just end up giving up and going to bed myself with him. SIGH!
Julia - its what we are here for!! We have all had our share of "me me me"posts and i am sure there are more to come from all of us..
i just have a question for all you mums....Caitlyn is now on cows milk for all her feeds.. but since we started all her bottles being cows milk she has starting waking up at 3 am hungry....is this normal? Should i try to "discourage"it as such by giving her water at 3 am or just get over it and give her the milk that she wants? Is formula more filling than cows milk? maybe i am not feeding her enough solids during the day??
any hints/tips/ suggestions/advice/anecdotes are more than welcome!!
I am soooo sick with a cold . I have a sore throat, non-stop running nose and a cough that hurts my chest so much that I try and stifle it. K seems to be coming down with it too. Oh the misery of it all! I thought I was over the cold & flu season!!!
We had a great time out at DH's Christmas party on Friday night. I won a raffle prize (very unexciting Christmas candles), DH won a bottle of wine at last year's party so his workmate on our table said "You always win", so DH swapped his raffle ticket with his workmate and his workmate won a prize LOL! He couldn't believe it. We always have a run of luck with winning stuff, maybe we should buy a lottery ticket LOL!
K is still pointing at everything saying "What's that?" and the other day he heard DH's voice and he said "Who's that? That's Dad!" (well it kind of sounded like "Whoozat, Zats Dad"!) He is so clever!
Rebecca - I have no idea what to tell you about the 3am feeds! K has been on cows milk only for a couple of months and he doesn't wake up for a feed. He only has two cups of milk a day (his first cup actually has milo in it LOL) and eats lots of food most of the day. Who knows with these children, they keep changing the rules!
Julia - Don't apologise! That's why this group is here! Man, I have come in and complained many a time. I'm glad to hear Max is picking up, there is nothing worse than when they are grumpy and clingy all the time. K can be a real shocker when he wants to. Feel free to come in and vent any time .
Kellie - I'm glad you had a nice day yesterday, poor Tahlia getting sunburnt! It happens so quickly doesn't it? I haven't been to the Myer Christmas windows for years, I really should take the boys.
Mo - I'm glad Maddi ended up liking her swimming lesson! I haven't tried K at our pool, every time I've gone in the past we've caught something nasty so I don't really want to take him!!
Kazaraz - How did you go with your night out? It must have been nice to have a night to yourself!
Nic - Nice to see you in here, I've missed you! How are the boys going?
Saffi - Where are you? You've been a bit quiet LOL!
Hi to everyone else!

Rebecca - L is on all cows milk too. He has 3x180ml bottles and I think milk with lunch at dc. He too has been waking at 2/3am lately. For him it is a dummy issue, but you've got me thinking about hunger. He does wake sometime between 5.30 and 6.30am tho and I do tend to feed him then. Is Miss C walking? Since L has started I have been really trying to get more food into him as he is constantly on the move burning it all off. Trish - sorry you are feeling so sick (again). Try to rest up, as hard as it is with the boys running around. Are you on multi-vitamins? I am constantly amazed at K's language skills. L doesn't say much at all tho DH swears he said Mumma the other day. He is very clever in other ways so I keep satisfied with that. Julia - thats great that a Dr finally listened to you and Max is on the mend. Vent away - it is good for the soul. Kaz - hope you had a good night. It is nice to get some time away without the kids, hey? Mo - I have been meaning to take L to swimming lessons. Do you go in with her or does DH? Kellie - I know what you mean about Mummy guilt. We will always find something to beat ourselves up for.
As for us:
1. DH and I had a night to ourselves while L stayed with the ILs. He was really well behaved and slept through the night for them, including a very bad thunder storm. Funny tho, they were still up most of the night as their dog was so scared. The ILs took him to a Chrissy party and he was passed around all the oldies and had a great time. DH and I went out for breakfast to stretch out our us time even longer. I was still up at 6am tho.
2. Put the Xmas tree up tonight. On the weekend L selected a new tree decoration. We are going to do that each year. Have had to put the tree up high to stop any inquisitive fingers pulling at the decorations.
3. L's molar has broken through. He has 4 little white specks poking through the gum. The gums are really swollen but he doesn't seem to be too upset. He got more upset when I put some Bonjela on it.
