Im here being slack! Having a rough time at the moment so didnt want to bore evryone with my sooky ness :)
Loving the pics of Singapore hun! xx
Ditto Amber about being sooky!! Been the exact same lately!!
BBL once DH is home with dinner!! Thank christ there was left over meatloaf for Rhys to have for dinner with vege tonight!!
Hey all!
Sorry I haven't posted, I didn't want to be a hog LOL! I feel like I ramble on too much sometimes hee hee!
Amber - :hug: What's up love? You can talk to us in here, that's what we're here for :)
Amelia - Sorry you're feeling down too :hug:.
Julia - What's happening with you guys? Fill us in!!
Mo - How are things going? Have you had Kodi weighed this week? I hope that milk supply is continuing to build :)
Willow - Look at that ticker :o. In another few weeks (maximum ;)) you'll have a baby ticker instead, eek!
Not much going on with us. I took the boys to visit my mum and step-dad this morning and they had a blast. Joel LOVES his Pop Pop (my step-dad) and Pop-Pop loves him just as much, they make the cutest team LOL! K is coming out with lots of new words again - he's added words like star, truck and bike to his vocabulary amongst others. It's funny how he'll go through cycles of not saying anything new and then all of a sudden saying lots of new words. Tonight he picked up his towel after his bath and started drying his own hair, it was soooo cute!
Anyway, better go! Have a great night all :D
Not Much happening here.
Went for a walk with the girls this morning & Maddi was being silly and she tripped & grazed one side of her face. Looks like she's gonna get a black eye now.
Trish I get Kodi weighed next week & i'm sure she would of had a decent weight gain, Maybe bb's are so much fuller & she is sleeping much more now as-well :)
How Cute of K trying to dry his hair.
M is i starting to string more words together.
She says Where's Dada Gone, Thank-you Mumma, Dada's Back, Where Mimi(Dummy) Go & a few more.
I just love how quickly she picks things up now.
Amber & Amelia your both aloud to be sooks, Does everyone remember how much i complained when i was pregnant??? lol.
I can't believe how quickly everyone's pregnancy is going. I'm so looking forward to seeing pictures & hearing everyone's birth stories.
Hope everyone is well.
Mo - Ouch! I hope Maddi's OK! Joel has a massive black and purple egg on his forehead after K hit him with a stick today :o. Sounds like your milk supply is going great!!!
Well K has a new trick, he can do somersaults LOL! He watched Joel do some and next think I knew he was doing them, and really well too! Hee hee, Joel didn't learn to do them until he was almost 3 because we never thought to teach him any earlier. K learns so much more from Joel!
I've also cracked K's code. He has constantly been pointing with his arm right out bouncing it in time as he says "Uh, Uh, Dee!". I have been trying to figure out what he's doing, then tonight in the bath he did it while pointing to windows on his boat and I finally figured out he's trying to say "One, two, three!" :lol:. He points to one thing at a time as he counts. I can't believe it took me so long to figure out! Sometimes he stands still and says "Dee...Go!" then runs across the room. I worked out he was saying "Three...Go!" because he's used to us counting to three and telling him to go. Ha ha, he's such a cute little turkey!
We are going away tomorrow to Phillip Island. We are staying overnight in a nice place as a bit of a celebration / babymoon. We figure it's probably the last chance we can all go away together before the bub gets here. I'm not keen to travel too far away for much longer in case anything were to happen, I'd hate to be too far from the hospital. The weather over the weekend doesn't look too nice, but it will still be lovely to get away for some quality time.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Trish you must be so relaxed wiht all your lovely holidays enjoy babe you deserve it! K is so cute!
Mo poor maddi! They run around so fast i am surprised M has broken his arm :)
Well wont sook too much! Its obviously hormones as dh informed me tonight after a eek of me thinking he isnt in love wiht me anymore. He has been sick but he hasnt touched me in over a week and i was so worried. He hasnt asked how th baby is like kicking etc and i have felt so alone and unloved. I gues sit is the hormones but i am freaking out big time how i am going to cope with 2 kids and no help from anyone :( I am just scraed i will fail! i already fail alot wioht m in the snse of i have no motivation some days and feel so incrediably guilty for letting him watch tv and not keeping the house show room clean :( sorry am rambling now. I am just scared i think and need a hug :(
Sorry to make you all read that.
xxxx
Amber - stop apologising!! You need to talk and we're hear to listen :hug:
Babe, you think I haven't spent the last 8.5 months wondering how the hell I'm going to pull this off? 3 kids and 2 under 2? Praying that I get an easy baby who sleeps its head off this time?! I know your DH works a lot and you do it a lot on your own. My DH doesn't do shift work anymore but he was until very recently doing 12 hour days. If I can do it, anyone can!
There's going to be crap days, there always are, but you will cope just fine. You have family close by don't you? You might just have to ask for a bit more help this time around, that's all.
Mo - ouch! I hate it when L hurts himself, especially his poor little face. We've already had 2 black eyes here :rolleyes: Glad to hear things seem to be improving on the b'feeding front, well done.
Trish - have a great weekend!
Amelia - hope you're feeling better soon too.
thanks willow! thanks love! I can ask relatibes i suppose but hate intruding. Will jsut have to wait and see! I am sure this baby will slip into your already gorgeous family perfectly :hug: xxx
Ahhh, that would be lovely. But my kids tend to kinda crash and tumble in :lol::
I am sure this baby will slip into your already gorgeous family perfectly
Hugs Amber :hug:. Gee, if you're a failure, then so am I! I let my boys watch T.V too much when I'm overtired/unmotivated and my house is not even close to being showroom clean! I am impressed with myself for cleaning the toilets today LOL! It's impossible to keep your house spotless when you have kids and you know what - no one else actually notices or cares about the state of your house. Do you walk into your friends home and scrutinise the tidiness? I know it doesn't even cross my mind.
You are going to cope just fine with two, it will surprise you how easy and fun it is once you've gotten a bit of a routine going and things settle down. I hope this applies with number 3 :rofl:. Sorry you have been feeling like your DH is being distant :hug:. I'm sure he loves you heaps and that not feeling well has kept him a bit quiet (going into his "cave" kinda thing ;)).
You're an awesome person and you are doing an awesome job :D
:rofl: You crack me up!:
willow :) Crash and tumble into our beautufl family then :P
Trish thanks hun! I know i am too hard on myself but all my firends have gorgeous and clean house and i never ask anyone over cause i am ashamed :( Its nt dirty just toys and stuff evrywhere. I am sure youw ill be just fine when little mss comes along :) I know i will be ok1 Its just super scary :) Thanskyu though :hug: xx
Gorgeous Girl Amber - I know how you feel (and I'm not hormonal which makes me more crazy)....I feel so unapreciated by my DH sometimes and I let my head run away with me thinking that he doesn't love me and that I'm just a fat ugly pig and I'm sure that he'd rather someone a bit more 'upmarket' (it's the only way I can put it) than me! Top it off boys don't notice when we are thinking irrationally, where as a girlfriend can see when something is wrong. DH will just screw his face up at me when I'm being daft, when what I really need is a HUG! I dont' want to ask for it either!
I am positive you will do just perfectly with new bub and Myles. Look at him, he's happy and content and has everything he needs. Sure, you will have another focus when the bub comes, but it will be a new element for Myles too, and not necessarily negative, something you will both have to get used to. Try and stay positive and remember you are a gorgeous friend and mother and wife, and hey...if sometimes you can't be @rsed just think of how many other mums out there can't be either....like me!!! :)
Sorry...I love talking huh...I'll stop now!
Trish - How cute of K.....Max says Dee...Go too, but I think he's saying 'ready...go'! When he counts every number is 3! meeee! SOOOO cute! I wanna eat him. He's done roly polys too...and has just started spinning around till he gets dizzy and falls over! What a crack up!
Is anyone going to start toilet training their lil ones yet? They are getting pretty close to two...is that a normal age to start trying it....? I've CLEARLY not tried before, but Mum asked me when I'm going to start!!
Well, better go....need to get off the computer and tidy up before we go out to 'Boomerang' for dinner....DH needs to watch the footy!
xx
Amber - I am always worried someone will turn up unannounced LOL! Why does no one ever pay a surprise visit when I've just done a big clean up??? When our neighbours drop around to have a chat I feel sooo self-conscious about the state of the house. Our next-door neighbours (who are elderly) really do keep a spotless house, BUT they get a cleaner in and don't have any small children!
Julia - Awww, Max sounds so cute! K loves to spin around until he falls over too, lots of entertainment! I've put K on the toilet (on a toddler seat thingy) a couple of times, but he hates it so I haven't pushed it. He puts his bottom against the toilet almost every day and says "Mummy? Poo!" and then he turns around and lifts up his top like he is doing a wee. So he gets the concept, he's just not ready yet.
Amber - I echo what everyone has said. We do the best we can with the resources we have available to us. Yes, you don't want to intrude on family but at the same time its about knowing when to ask for help. The offers might just surprise you.
I know I won't cope at home with a newborn and a toddler so L is staying in daycare while I am on Mat Leave. I have to admit I worry about Thursdays when L is at home. I just remind myself that this time I am an experienced Mum and have almost 2 years of on the job training to see me thru.
Trish - somersaults! Is there nothing that boy can't do?? Enjoy the weekend away.
Willow - hello!
Mo - poor M. Being a toddler and in the wars is all part of growing up. If L hasn't fallen over 10 times before breakfast its a good day.
Its DH's b'day this weekend so L is spending Sat night with the grandparents while we go out for dinner. No babymoon planned here unfortunately, so might need to get in a few dinners out while we can.
Only 4 more days of work left before I go on leave. As usual have left everything to the last minute and have no motivation to do anything anyway. I have a replacement so as long as I do a handover and some notes for her it will be fine.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Jules :hug: You have no idea how that post has made me feel thankyou babe! :hug: Re TT Myles has been doing poo on the toilet for ages so have no idea how i am going to teach him to wee there too eeek!
Trish see thats the thing i would love unnanounced visitors, just someone to come visit me!! :) The poor postie hides from me :P but i see what you mean :hug: xx
Saffi :hug: Enjoy your dinner out :)
Just a quick post, as i have to go change someone's smelly bum.
Amber :hug:
I didn't know how i would manage having 2 under 2, but i did. Those 1st few weeks were hard.
Trying to figure out which cry was more important than the other etc.. but after you get some sorta routine going it gets easier.
You will do a great job :)
As for the house, My T.V is on more often than it's off & my house is never clean i live with a hurricane, Well the house does get cleaned after the hurricane goes to bed but it never stays clean for long ;)
I'll be back.
Thought i'd bump us back to the 1st page.
For those of you that remember Belle, She had her little boy yesterday.
Name is Jett & he weighed 7lbs & 3oz & 50cms long.
He is adorable, looks just his Daddy :)
Nothing new happening here, M still waking up at 4-4:30am every morning one day she'll sleep through again.

Aww congrats Belinda willhave to scope out her FBpage! :leap: Great name too!
Mo M is the same 4 or 4:30 most mornings! The wiggles have been a saviour :)
hi everyone
got a sick bub on my hands today, think she might have gastro. Just put her wiggles dvd on for her and she has fallen asleep on her couch watching it. Not going to risk putting her in her cot, I've just put a blanket over her and she can have a snooze there!
Amber - my house is also far from showroom clean! And Tahlia watches tv too, the only time it is off is when we are sleeping! Dont beat yourself up, you are a wonderful mummy and wife and they are lucky to have you!
hope everyone else is well!
Thanks Kellie! poor T hope she gets better really soon! :hug: xxxx
Hi everyone!
Had a lovely weekend away at Phillip Island, we stayed in a lovely 4 1/2 star apartment (thanks Wotif!) and it was very relaxing. We went for walks on the beach, played at parks and went to the Nobbies (and nearly got blown off LOL). The only downside was that the mattress we slept on was soooo springy and soft that it's really hurt my pelvis, but I'm sure it will be OK again soon.
K had a shocking night's sleep last night (where is this molar???) so I'm pretty tired today. Luckily he made up for it by sleeping in until 8am, but I didn't get to sleep in because Joel was up at 7:15am :rolleyes:. Normally he's pretty good and will stay in bed, but he was busting for the loo and wanted to get up!
Kellie - Poor Tahlia, I hope she feels better soon. It's awful when they are so sick :hug:.
Mo - Ick @ those 4am wake ups :o. I hope she gets past this phase really soon for you!
Amber - Hope you're feeling a bit better today :hug:.
Saffi - How was your night out on Saturday? It must have been nice to have a night off from L :)
Hi to everyone else!
I have just had a big read, lots to catch up on! I feel bad for being so slack lately, I just can't seem to get into posting at the moment ... but am happy to read. I really cannot remember feeling like this with either of the girls and am just hoping that I start feeling normal soon! I am 11 weeks Friday and I am hoping that 12 weeks brings a big turn around and I get some energy and stop feeling nauseas 24/7. That is probably the part getting to me the most!
Amber - I was reading what you posted and remember having all of the same thoughts and self doubts when I was having Tay. I was lucky, because I had my Mum & Dad about an hour away, and they come down and kept us company many a day. This time, with No 3, we have no family support. I am a bit stressed, and my DH leaves at 7 in the mornings and makes it home about 6. He is a great support when he is home, so that isn't the problem. I just figure I have to do it, not much choice. My only saving grace will be the fact that Mia start kindy when the bub is born. The other thing that stresses me is getting 3 kids into the car to go out and about, don't think that will be happening much :)
Trish - Your time away sounds great, and I am thinking we might have to do the same thing. At this stage we are staying in Melbourne for Christmas, and I might suggest a weekend away during that time. DH is saving holidays so he can have a few weeks off when the bub is born! Sorry to hear your pelvis is sore from the bed, I cannot believe you only have about 6 weeks to go. Hopefully you find some comfort with it in that time x
Kellie - Sorry to hear Tahlia is not well, sounds like a quiet day for you! I wish ... I have Mia standing next to me crying because she is not getting her way with something and Tay telling her off, because she must be over her whinging!
Mo - Early morning wake ups ... we are having them as well! The only thing I can think of is Tay has been cutting her eye teeth, 3 down one 2 go. THank goodness. Hopefully it gets better for both of us soon!
Willow - OMG the countdown is really on! I bet you are getting excited and over it all in the same breath! I hope that your lump turns out to be ok, when do you get the results?
Saffi - You are also on the countdown. Half your luck :)
Julia - Sounds like you are settling in well, I am sure you will make friends easily you sound like that sort of person!
Anyway, I better go and I am really sorry to Amber, Paycyn, and whoever else I missed! Tay turned my computer off halfway through my post and I have lost momentum with what I was going to reply to you guys! Sorry again!
Hi ladies,
I have not read up on everyone in here and I am really sorry for that, but some of you have personals.
Amber - You are the sweetest, most loving mother!!! I see your facebook updated some days and I try to take a leaf out of your book to become a better mum to Tiera. You are so relaxed, tolerant, loving and playful with Myles, its so beautiful! As parents, I think it's normal for us to qu if we are doing the right thing and occationally feel a little guilty that we may have done something wrong, thats how we know we love these little people and just want the absolute best for them. Believe in everything you do and remember you are pg too!!! Being pg is hard in itself, but having to parent at the same time would be so hard, be a little easier on yourself, you are doing an awesome job!! Have you thought about giving yourself a day off? I have been considering putting Tiera in family day care a day a week.... A day a week will give you a day to yourself, which you deserve! Whilst your pg you can relax and rejuvinate and then once bubby comes a long it will give a bit of one on one time. Food for thought anyways lovely. :hug: As for DH, he's male... Is there any more to say?! hehehe They don't realise how emotional and hormonal we can be when we are UTD, talk to him sweety I bet he doesn't even know your feeling this way.
Saffi & Willow - WOW you ladies don't have long to go. Wish you all the best for the birth of your babes... Can't wait to hear the birth announcements!
Trish - Your holiday sounds lovely! Wotif is great!!! We advertise the park on there cuz it's just awesome, we get a lot of our accom from there when we're going away! I hope poor K gets that tooth, it's just not fair on them! Tiera finally has a heap of teeth, but they're all over the place!!!
Kaz - A HUGE congrats to you on the pregnancy, that must be so exciting for you all! Hoping to add a little blue to the family? I hope your ms eases you poor dear, nothing worse!!!
Kellie - I hope your little princess is feeling better. Poor baby!
Congrats Belle on the birth of your little boy Jett!!!
Pheonix - Oh dear you poor thing, I really feel for you having to get up with DD, I hate when Tiera isn't sleeping well, although I think I have been very lucky in that department. Hope all is well with baby Kodi!
afm - Tiera is learning more and more very single day! She is understanding more, saying more, and doing more! She sure keeps me busy! hehehe She has her moments, but is a real treasure. I have just come to the realisation she is a toddler and is VERY normal for her age. My family continuasly tells me she's 'feral' which upsets me quite a bit, and I started thinking I was doing a terrible job with her, but talking to friends with children of the same, Tiera is soooooo normal! She is listening a lot more as she's understanding a lot more which is definately helping, but when it comes to wanting to run around and throwing tanties when she doesn't get her own way (which is mainly when she's tired) she is a toddler and thats what they do!!! :D Please let me know if I'm wrong!
Anyways ladies I hope all is well!
Hi all!
Having a bad one today, think I'm a bit sleep deprived. K is teething a 2 year old molar (still!) so between waking up at midnight to DH hopping into bed (he played his tennis grand final last night) and K waking at 1am then 2am, I am soooo tired today! K slept through the night before, but had a wakeful night the night before that so it's all catching up on me.
I am so sad because I don't have the energy that I had at this stage in K's pregnancy. I was still bouncing around and feeling marvelous right up until the end with him. This time I feel like I'm just dragging myself around and everything seems to take so much effort. My nesting urge has completely left too, how depressing! Luckily I got all the big jobs done while the urge was there, but I'm just not happy with the general tidiness of things. Today I was doing a big clean up and K would be in another room undoing whatever I'd just done in there :wall:.
Argh! Sorry for the whinge, I'm not normally this down! I'm doing my best not to be "over it" just yet because I know I'm still a while off yet! I guess I just feel sad that I'm not enjoying this pregnancy like I did with my last two. It's not that I don't enjoy it, but I just never get the time to think about it and focus on it and bask in it IYKWIM?
Sorry guys, back to you LOL!
Pish - Tiera sounds extremely normal to me! If you said she wasn't like that then I'd think she was abnormal LOL! You are doing a great job with her :D
Kaz - :hug: You poor love. I remember thinking the same thing as you at the start of this pregnancy - I couldn't remember feeling so bad. I'm not sure if it's just that we forget or because #3 takes it's toll on us! You are nearly out of the first tri, you'll be feeling better really soon :hug:.
Hi to everyone else!
Hi Everyone
Thanks for the well wishes for Tahlia, fortunately she is now better, but unfortunately, I now have it! So home from work today, have still sent her to daycare though
Trish - glad to hear you had a good weekend away. Not long till your little girl arrives, just remember that and it will make it seem better!
Kaz - maybe your baking a blue bundle this time around if the pregnancy is so different? Hope it eases for you soon
Tiff - Tiera sounds like a pretty normal toddler to me!
Tahlia is learning so much now too, she never shuts up! I've lost count of the number of words she says now. Its so cute. I really enjoy being able to communicate with her
anyway think i might go lay on the couch again, hi to everyone else!
Trish i remember that feeling so well, wont be long till your holding Miss B :)
Kellie glad Tahlia is better but what a shame you have it now, hope your better asap.
Tiff- Tiera sounds just like Maddi, my day isn't complete unless M throws a handful of tanties lol.
Kaz- Looking forward to seeing you & the girls next week at playgroup.
Hi to everyone else, hope your all well :)
Thank ladies, I am glad to hear you all say Tiera's a normal toddler!
Trish - :hug: awww sweets, being pg is not an easy thing and you also have another two boys to look after!!! I remember with K you were nesting almost right up until he was born. I use to feel so lazy when you'd come on here and tells us everything you had done! Maybe is a girl thing too... maybe they take it out of you a little more... I never had as much as what you did with K and that was only my first. I hope you're feeling better tomorrow after a really big, deep sleep tonight!
Kellie - Glad to hear Tahlia is better, what a bummer you have it though! If only we could choose when our little people shared! ;)
Mo - Gotta love those tanties!!! hahaha I should video one and keep it so I can give her a little pay back when she's older! :D
Have a great night all
Kodi had a great weigh in this week, She's now 5.9kg & 63cm long, Tho we do have see a Dr as her head isn't growing. It's grown .2cms in 2 months.At least she's gaining weight again :)
Amber can't wait to hear what Harry Potter was like, i'm so looking forward to seeing it on Sunday.
Hope everyone is well.
Hi everyone
Sorry been MIA....been spending some time with the girls in the TTC thread! oooooooo!
MO - I'm glad to hear of Kodi's 'stats'! You're doing a fab job!!
I'll BBL...taking Max to a place called Fidgets, which is a huge play centre here. Hope it's FUN!
Julia - how did figets go? Are you settling in? I read on FB you were a bit moody and hormonal ... lol, welcome to my world! I was not that bad, but it has hit me with a big thud this week, been crying, yelling, complaining ... fun!
Mo - Glad Kodi's weigh in was good, hope all goes well with the docs! Be great to see you guys next week 2!
Pish - thanks heaps for the congrats, didn't think it would ever happen!
Kellie - not sure about blue, I was sick with Tay, just not this sick. Different pregnancy, but my first two were chalk and cheese as well, so who knows!
Trish - I am also having a lot of am I mad moments about No 3. I only said to someone you are never prepared for the difference just one more makes! I know the shock of going for No 1 to No 2, is No 3 going to any better? SIGH and LOL all rolled into one!
:hello: to everyone else!
Just a quick update. All is ok here. Went to the gp yesterday as I have a really itchy lower belly and its getting hot. So sore from scratching it, plus I was getting bad crampies yesterday. She said its part of being pregnant, like I have no idea what it is like. I said the cramps feel worse than just the stretchy pregnany pains you get. She said my headache is from stresss and I Need to rest. Easy with the two girls. I said that I am probably stressing because we lost a bub, she is like oh well you are still early if that happens. WTF, incompassionate cow is all I can say. So I come home and I feel better so will keep an eye on things and see how they go.
Also had a bit of a argument with my DH who is fantastic and helpful and I think I just took out my over the all day sickness thing on him. We rarely fight, but all is good now. I am blaming hormones!
Anyway better go, I have chicken out and I have no idea what to cook with it. To be honest I dont feel like eating, but know I need to feed the other people that live here! :lol::lol:
Kaz - Make a carbonara with your chicken...pasta...jar of sauce, chicken and voila! I'm slack tonight and having tuna bake!
Fidgets was fun, Max had a great time....he came home and slept for 2 hours then we went out again to another play centre. Much better than playing in the heat outside!
I have been beyond a joke moody. DH can't do anything right! I feel bad that I take it out on him, but he doesn't do anything to help me either.....like all I want is for him to say "geez Jules you're hormonal, would you like a hug....or I'll take Max out for 30 mins....."....If that happened I would know I've died and gone to heaven! It would also be nice that while DH was watching Max that he actually did instead of watching that ever important TV show on some guy who got arrested in Iraq! I think I might have to come on here more and share my moods with you guys instead....at least you send me cyber hugs and concern and understanding! Why are women attracted to men anyway! It's a weird combo! lol
Trish - As far as I'm concerned you are a super mum and I am so looking forward to hearing that your lil girl has arrived! Not long now!
Saff & Willow....I've got my internet eye on you guys!
Everyone else, come back and talk more!
Well...better go, I feel bad coz Max is just staring at Mickey Mouse Club house while I'm so into myself!
Jules :hug: Oh men are so stupid! they just dont get it do they! Like yes you may have worked all day but you havent had the ups and downs of the kid all day eihter and 10mins peace would be devine! :hug: I wish you didnt love so far away i would be there in a flash! :hug" xxx
Kaz so glad all is well wiht the pregnancy!
Hi everyone else am being slack! :hug: xxx
Hello all,
Been MIA, very tired with work and Ryan :). All ok except Ryan was sick last night has croupe poor baby. Everyone else is well.
Off ice skating on Sunday mum is babysitting Ryan for the day. Saw Harry Potter Wednesday night, movie up till the end was good, was like this big dramatic build up, then fizzled out a little... that's what I felt anyway.
Work is the plops, being treated like Im the scum of the world for being pregnant. When another lady who was casual got a FT job elsewhere, then I said I was preg it's like his women employees have "betrayed" him and now he is treating myself, and two other ladies, like we are dirt. One lady had enough yesterdaya and blasted him and said she was quitting at the end of August, so instead of seeing the error of his ways it's another blow to the ego we need to bare... at the end of the year I think I will resign not go on maternity leave. I feel cheated because it was the best job and I loved it so much and now it has been poisoned and I hate it all because of one person. Little does he know that all the women have applied for other jobs, be amusing if we all left at once because he refuses to grow up... he's in his 60's should know better
Anyway that's my rant :). Hope everyone else is doing well
Celtic - that makes me so mad. Doesn't your boss know if he treated his staff with respect they'd more likely be loyal to him and put in extra effort in return (my view anyway). Instead he's likely to have all his experienced staff leave him and have to go through the cost and bother of rehiring which is a pain. Anyway, thats my rant....
Sorry to hear Ry has croup. Hope he's better soon.
Julia - I know! But men aren't good at intuitively knowing what we need so maybe you just need to communicate what you expect or tell him that he's taking Max out while shoving both of them out the door. I'm sure he'd appreciate that than always being in trouble.
Sounds like you are settling into life in Singers. Is there much of an Aussie ex-pat community there?
Kaz - first trimester is the worst! Hopefully it will get better.
You got me thinking tho about how life is going to be different with #2. Don't know how its going to work out.
Mo - yay for Kodi! How's M's eating going?
Trish - agree there's no time to just enjoy being pregnant because we're so busy being mothers to active toddlers (you x2!). Are you thinking about putting K in kinder for a day or so when Miss B arrives? When does Joel start school?
Amber - hi! How's Terri going? Say hi to her for me.
Willow - where are you? Sending you labour vibes.
Hi to everyone else.
AFM - finished work yesterday. Three weeks until EDD but I am hoping for four weeks rest before bubs arrives. I have got so much to do around here with settling into the house, getting stuff ready for bubs not to mention trying to rest as much as I can. Having weekly OB visits but apart from bubs is engaged and a good size there's not much he can tell me about when and how. Just got to wait....
Off to have afternoon tea with our new neighbours. They have a 2 year old son so it will be their first playdate. I hope they get on.
I'm here, just not a lot going on!
My mum arrived on Thursday so whenever baby Boo is ready, I am!
No sign of him/her arriving any time soon. Although I have had a lot more discomfort, pressure and pain down low the last two days. My mum was convinced I would go in to labour last night but I think I just ate too much of her yummy cooking! :rofl:
I will txt Trish if anything exciting happens and have organised someone to do my BA, so you'll all know when we have some news!
I'm hoping Boo arrives some time next week but at the same time, having gone 10 days post dates twice now, I'm not holding my breath.
Today/tonight is no good because my ob isn't available - it's his 39th anniversary and he's taking his wife out ;)
Willow good luck hun! Cannot beileve its time already :hug:
Saffi i will tell her for you! We should try to get together when the babies are bigger! Enjoy your resting :hug:
Celtic :hug: bummer about your job! could you talk to your boss?
Tiff your bubba is so very normal and i love kids who are a bit freal and have character :) Your feral and my feral can hang out :hug: x
Hope everyone is well! xxx
Hello all!
I've had a lovely quiet weekend. DH took the boys on an overnight caravan trip to Inverloch and they had a great time. They got home at 2pm and DH then went to the footy with his parents and brother so I've had two tired boys all to myself all arvo, lucky me :p. I had a much needed good night's sleep last night, it was soooo good.
Poor K has diarrhea atm, it started just before they left yesterday morning and isn't looking any better today. Not sure what's going on there. He's refusing meals, but has had a little bit of fruit. Hopefully it passes soon. I don't know if it's teething related, he keeps gnawing on his thumb with the right side of his mouth.
Willow - Woohoo, the final countdown is on! Here's hoping little Boo doesn't follow in his/her siblings footsteps by showing up 10 days late! It must be so nice to have your mum around :). I can't WAIT for that text!
Saffi - Hooray for finishing up at work!! Your bub will probably turn up before you can even put your feet up LOL! I can't put K into kinder unfortunately, he has to be 3 before he can start. My mum has offered to take him off my hands from time-to-time, but she tends to say that and not actually do it! Maybe I'll just ring her and tell her to pick him up instead of waiting for her to offer!
Celtic - Poor Ryan, I hope his croup clears up quickly, it's nasty stuff :hug:. Do you have a vapouriser for his room? Sorry to hear about your boss, he sounds like an idiot!
Amber - How are you feeling lovely lady?
Julia - LOL, I'm far from super-mum! But thanks for your lovely words :hug:. Oooh, moody hey? Sounds like your hormones are up to something??? Love the pic of Max in the ticker, he looks so grown up!
Kaz - Oh you poor love :hug:, I hope you are starting to feel a bit better. You are being knocked about atm! Are you going to find out your bub's gender at your 20 week scan? I'm guessing you are having a boy!
Mo - Woohoo for Kodi's weight gain! You are doing a fabulous job!
Pish - Maybe it is a girl thing that makes us less nesty? I don't know, I think it's just that I'm so much busier with other things this time around! I don't know how people have more than three kids!
Kellie - You poor thing, I hope you're feeling better :hug:. Gastro is so awful.
Hope you are all well :D
