Hello All,
Minimax - I see youre in Perth? How is the weather lately, all over the place! I hear you on the gym front. I haven't put Caden into the Creche yet so I am not sure how he would go, but I really should do it at least once a week so I get some "mummy" time and can relax while doing a bit of exercise.
Saffi - enjoy your day of indulgence
Kimbaz - What an effort girl! I am sure that come a few years time when I am having my second, you will have been through the hard part with your kiddies and it will be heaps easier. I understand by what you mean "easy". My gf said that it never gets easier as they get older, but I think they get more independant, which makes it easier in one sense.
Monkey - Power biter huh? That sounds painful... Caden was a biter when teething, but at least he didn't do it any other time. Although, he has bitten my leg a few times to get attention a simple "hay mummy, I want some attention" would have sufficed!
Kazaraz - LOL about 2 being hard! I think I am put off having number 2 just cos it seems so much harder, let alone considering number 3! I take my hat off to all you dual mummies.
As for us, not much on. Busy with work, just bought a new car so DH can pick Caden up from FDC now (I was doing both, and driving 3 hour round trip to work ). No travel plans because we are still selling our business, then after its sold we get a BIG holiday .
Anyhoo, better go and get some housework done, have a great LONG AUSSIE DAY weekend!
K is walking heaps more! Not long until he is officially walking I am guessing. He walked all the way from our lounge room to our kitchen before! He is also cutting a tooth atm so he is getting a bit cranky, but his sleep isn't too bad thank goodness.
Dragonbub - Two kids isn't too bad! I'm pretty sure it's the three year age gap between my boys that makes it easier, but we have adjusted really well and it's quite fun! Congrats on your new car!
Karen - How frustrating with Bruno's flights! I'm glad he was able to come home. I'm coping OK being pg with the two boys, thanks for asking! I think you just get used to it and you cope. I'd love to be able to have a nap sometimes though!! I reckon a 17 month age gap must be pretty full-on, I give you lots of credit for your hard work
Julia - I'm glad you went well at the gym, a personal trainer would be great!
Saffi - I hope you are enjoying your day out!
Kim - "Full on" is an understatement I'm sure! That's awesome that Craig is home too. I can't see how giving your bub EBM is bad?! You do what you want Kim and what you feel comfortable with. Whether that be FF, EBM or BFing, you have to do what works for you all .
Amelia - I definitely reckon each pregnancy goes quicker than the last! Having other children definitely keeps you busy and keeps your mind off being pregnant (well kind of, they can't distract me from all this indigestion LOL!). I started TT'ing Joel when he was 2, it took us a year before he was fully trained. I never pushed him (I was also pg with K so I was sometimes slack!), I just let him get there in his own time. It worked well for us!
Kellie - Have a great time away! Hopefully you can catch up with some Octo-mums
Pish - Sorry to hear things have gone really bad with your brothers and SIL. February in Melbourne is usually very hot, like Kellie said. Usually we have consistant days in a row where it's in the high 30's and up to 40 degrees. But do come prepared with some warmer clothes just in case! Melbourne can completely throw you sometimes LOL! Where in Melbourne will you be staying? We should all try and meet up!
Amber - Have a great time away this weekend! And happy birthday to your DH! How has the holiday house been going?
Mo - I'm glad Maddi is on the mend. K loves grapes too! He could eat them all day, but man, the nappies after a big grape-feast are so rank! I really feel for you in this hot weather, keep that AC cranked!
Becky - A very belated happy birthday to Liam for last Friday! I was going to post happy birthday that day, but BB went down and then it slipped my preggie brain . How did his party go?
Hi everyone.... I have been MIA a bit lately but just cause I have been so busy! Will try and catch up as much as I can!
Trish - Aww thankyou for thinking of Liam! He had a wonderful day. had a big party and got very spoilt! Cant believe he is 3.... Are you hoping for a girl this time or really dont mind?
Dragonbub - How exciting!! What sort of car did you get? At least it will save you a bit of travel time!!
kazaraz - I hear you on the toilet training! Liam was almost done really and then all of a sudden went completely backwards and was having accidents all the time!! Now he is back to being great with wee's, but number 2's he just refuses to do on the toilet. Kicks up the biggest tanty. Its so frustrating hey but I guess all you can do is hang in there.... It will get easier!
Julia - Awwww.... hopefully Max will get better in the creche! I have joined a gym but at the moment its in a temporary building while the new one is being built. This one doesnt have a creche but when the new one opens in March it will so will be interesting to see ow my 2 go in there too...Good on you for joining the gym though!!!
Saff - How was your 'you' day? I hope you spoilt yourself! My sister has offered to take my 2 for the day on Wednesday so Im gonna do a bit of me pampering too! Cant wait! Not long now til your scan.... are you going to find out the sex???
Amelia - Oh no a biter!!! LOL. Just another phase they go through I guess hey... Hope your enjoying the time off with DH.
Kellie - It is so hot up here at the moment. Uncomfortably hot. Mainly just really really muggy.... I usually love Summer but at the moment I cannot wait for Winter!
Kim - Hey! Hope your still doing well... you make whatever decision is right for you and dont let anyone pressure you... Chat to you soon...
Re: toilet training.... Well as you can see I was having probs with Li, but Chel is going to be an early learner Im sure of it. Everytime she hears the word potty or toilet, she runs down to it, trying to rip her nappy off and then sits on it giggling. She also tells you as soon as she has done a wee and trots up to her change table to be changed.... LOL. Im not gonna start training her yet but its good to know she might be easier than Liam is!!!
Ok, Im stuffed now.... lol. Might go do a few things and catch up with you all again later!
a simple "hay mummy, I want some attention" would have sufficed!
