I knew if i kept at it, it would work :P
I've already told Phil if you come down here we have to goto QLD next time & he said that was fair enough :D
Kellie well done getting things at the toy sale, Our target was almost out everything i wanted by the time we got there.
Mo thats a fair deal :) Now just nag me to post your pressie :P
How bout i nag you to bring it to Melb with you lol
:rofl: Sounds like a plan :):
Hi everyone
So....if I nag everyone enough will someone come and visit me!!!! Ha!
Kel - I think I know which FB status you meant....nothing to tell...I think it was major PMS! Good on you with the shopping!
Trish - How funny K not fitting into newborns...Max did but not for long...although looking at him now you wouldn't think he ever did...he's such a stocky little man. The asians up here think he's MASSIVE! I hope K gets better soon....poor monkey!
Willow - Been thinking about you! I'm looking forward to seeing your BA....Enjoy having your Mum around....Try and relax (hard I know!)
Amber - Max hasn't even had a sleep over anywhere.....You're brave for leaving him, but it would be good for you too x Glad M did well with it...you'll have to do it more often now!
AFM - Still loving it up here, but the other night (PMS night) I was over it and was angry that I had to come home and bring Max to bed when everyone else got to stay out AND eat the cake I spent hours making! Nothing would have been good for me that day...I would have found a way to bag even the most positive of things!
Well...better go and make dinner...Love and hugs to everyone xo
Jules keep naggin hun! i will come :) Bugger about AF had all the fingers and toes crossed for you :hug: Sleepover was tough i didnt sleep much waiting for the phone call but hey DH and i had a lovely time together *wink wink* No interuptions LOL
Julia - I'd visit you in Singas in a heartbeat.
BBL (tomorrow) when I can do more personals.
Mo - Good work on the nagging *high fives Mo*!
Amber - I'd offer to let you stay with us too, but we may be a tad busy around those dates! You could stay in our caravan on our front lawn if you like? :rofl: There are some great places around Melbourne though :)
Kellie - Good work on getting some more pressies. It feels so good to know you've got them out of the way. How much did Tahlia weigh at birth again? She and K were the last Octo bubs to be born so no wonder they were so big LOL!
Julia - Bummer about AF arriving :hug:. I have my fingers tightly crossed for you for next month :crossfingers:. I'd love to come and visit you one day!
Hi Saffi!
I just ate a whole stack of chocolate, I'm sooooo going to pay for it by not being able to sleep :doh:, but it tasted soooooo good!
Amber - we've got a spare single bed too!
Trish - Tahlia was 3.8kgs at birth... I think she outgrew the nappies more in length though... she was 52 cm at birth
Well Hi everyone!! Its been ages since i have managed to pop in and say hi!! But have a spare 5 mins at the moment so i will do a me me me post and fill you all in on whats happening.
We finalyl moved to Toowoomba and we got a house very quickly thank goodness. We are enjoying it down here - still getting used to the cold though. I have managed to get bronchitis already so i guess thats one little negative.
Caitlyn has FINALLY settled into her new daycare after a few expected dramas. DH is loving his new job and i am loving the predictability and regulations that have come with him working for a big company.
as for me - i am still working full time from home - its been realyl full on since i moved. I start work at 740 and finish anywhere from 4 until 430 depending on the workload. And i get Caitlyn at around 430 so the work never really seems to end. But you get that and now that i know DH is home on a Sunday its a lot easier to cope with the 6 days a week of full-on-ness (new word!!).
I am so sorry for being slack and not getting on here - dont have much of an excuse considering i am in front of a computer all day.
congrats to all the preggy ladies - i note some dont have long to go!! Wishful thinking on my part.
anyway - i promise to pop in more often to see how everyone's bubs are going!!
Bec
Rebecca - I was wondering if you had made the move. Welcome to South East Queensland. Toowoomba isn't really that far from Brisbane if you need to do some retail therapy or have some me-time.
Me post - I am finally getting to organising Bub's room. So far this morning I have washed some of her clothes (to see her through for the first few weeks), put the rest of her clothes into the wardrobe - on hangers and everything (all the pink stuff looks so cute), moved a dresser into her room to put the rest of her things and even got the hospital bag out from storage. Still got to decorate it but its a start.
Oh, MIL brought over a wicker chair for bub's room. She painted it pink and put some new cushions on it. It looks so nice and will be perfect for feeding. Beats the office chair I was using for L.
Did anyone use Aldi newborn nappies? I thought I'd give them a try. Last time we only used Huggies but they are so much more expensive now or maybe I am more of a tight a$$ this time.
Anyway going to have a quick break and get back into it!
Ooooo Saffi - Sounds like nesting to me.... Hehehe.. You better get that hospital bag packedup girl, your making ME nervous, less than 2 weeks to go! Good luck! I cant wait to hear your BA and hear your chosen names!!!! :)
Rebecca - Glad to hear your doing well, minus the bronchitis!! Like Saffi said, Brisbane isnt too far away at all.. You'll have to come down sometime!! :)
Trish - How was your chocolate hang over this morning? Hahahhaa... Not long to go now!!! Im getting so excited for you guys!
Hello everyone else!!! My friend just arrived so I will be back later to finish my personals... :):)
Bec - nice to hear from you, it sounds like everything is going well for you guys! What do you do from home? My cousin is nagging me to start selling body shop from home at the moment and I am trying to nice and gently tell her the last thing I feel like doing is anything more than what I already have on my plate at the moment! Maybe when my tiredness gets better I might consider it, but have two toddlers and one on the way is more than enough for me right now!
Trish - how did you sleep after your choccy fix? I also had a choccy bar yesterday, first in a while as choccy has been off of my radar. But you know what I did buy yesterday that was nice ... banana paddle pops! Yum yum!
Saffi - how are you feeling? Under 2 weeks to go now, how exciting!
Amber - how exciting that you are trying to come down to Melbourne! Be great to catch up when you are here, we will have to try and organise something maybe as a group as you guys have been talking about! And yes Kellie, I will definately try and get there this time!
Julia - i read your post and just think, bloody hormones! We have to deal with so much extra crap as women hey! LOL
Mo - all ready for playgroup tomorrow? Wednesday's are my saviour at the moment, as Mia is driving me crazy. She is so ready for kindy.
:hello: to everyone else!
Had a crap night last night with Tay, she just didn't want to sleep. So I had her in bed with me and my dh slept with Mia! I am seriously considering buying a double bed when we get one for Tay, because I know we will need to sleep with her at times! She was sitting up at 2am going where is Daddy, where is MIa ... I am like it is 2am GO TO SLEEP! She is cute but naughty!
Then I could not sleep, I had a conversation with my sister about her baby name. She told me it is 5 letters and it could be the same as someone's from our past! Then when I was in bed I am like Chloe, that fits! But the only Chloe I know is my old cat. So I messaged her this morning and told her and she freaked out because it is! She now thinks that I have esp or something! :lol:
In other news, I am now convinced I am having another girl. Just have a really strong feeling, so I will be interested to see if my instincts are correct!
Well I must go, the girls are playing out the back with their little prams and the silence is gorgeous. We have everything that they could possibly touch that is not good for them locked away, so it is nice and safe. But I better go out with them just in case!
Hope you are all well, especially you Willow! I am thinking of ya, I hope when the bub finally decides to come it is a nice and easy delivery for you!
Though Kaz....seeing as you are off chocolate...I heard a myth that if you crave more savoury than sweet, then it's a boy! I tend to agree a little as I craved anything potato with Max! Only time will tell! Not much time either!
Rebecca - Glad the move went well and at least you are closer to civilisation. Must be good that your in a more secure position now with your DH's work. It can make all the difference when life is more predictable.
Willow, Saffi & Trish - I can't believe you are all going to be popping iminently!!! I just wanna see little babies...gawwwwwwddddddddddddd I want one!
BBL going to take Max to GoGo Bambini!!! :)
Kaz yep looking forward to having the car & getting out of the house for the day :)
Saffi can't believe you haven't got your bagged pakced yet lol
Rebecca good to hear from you.
Julia hope you & Max had a good time.
Not much happening here....
Double post
Mo - I know! But it is now probably 70% packed so not doing too badly. Might need to upsize my bag tho. Remember last time I had a birthing room bag as well with food, money, drinks, massage stuff, stuff for DH etc. Don't think I'll bother this time although some snacks might be a good idea.
Julia/Kaz - I can believe that myth. Last time with L I craved meat and potatoes and this time I preferred fruit and lollies.
Well I am pleased to say that bub's room is essentially ready. She has clothes washed and ready and the spare bed is made ready for visitors. I even cleaned the windows! DH will surprised when he gets home. Rest of the house looks like a bomb's hit it, but thats ok.
My neighbour just told me she is 8 weeks pg! Her son has just turned 2 so that means that both of our kids will be the same age, be at the same year in school etc. All she needs to do is have a girl and it would be a perfect pairing of 2 boys and 2 girls.
My boys will be home soon and the dogs are going psycho in the yard so better investigate whats happening.
Mo - Hope the girls are treating you well today!
Julia - Hope you had a fun time out! Max must be having a blast, you always seem to be taking him somewhere that sounds like fun!
Kaz - I can't wait to find out what you are having! (If you'll tell us ;)) Instinct is a funny thing. I had a feeling I was having a girl this time, but wouldn't admit it to anyone in case I was wrong and it was wishful thinking LOL! I still have nightmares that it's really a boy and I'm stuck with a room full of pink stuff :rofl:
Becky - No such thing as a chocolate hang-over LOL, you can never have enough! Hope you had a nice time with your friend :)
Saffi - Glad to hear you're getting all organised and getting your bub's stuff ready! I used Aldi newborn nappies for K and they were brilliant. I've bought a packet for this bub too. They are just that little bit bigger than Huggies and cover more area. I'm hoping they work just as well for girls as they do for boys!
Rebecca - Great to hear from you :D Hooray for moving to Toowoomba!
Kellie - Tahlia was a very decent weight for a girl :). K was 4.03kg, Joel was 3.75kg so I'm scared this bub is going to be ginormous!
Well, I didn't need to worry about the chocolate. I don't remember a thing once the light went out last night LOL! I'm getting so tired it's just sad :lol:. I managed to nest a bit today which has cheered me up a bit, I definitely can't do that much, but it feels good to get some things done.
K slept the best he has in ages last night, it was great! He must be starting to feel better.
Have a great night everyone!
