peta - while james weighs a ton and seemed huge, he is just very long, so he still fits doubles well and in some brands triples. his bonds wondersuit in a triple is too snug now. he was like a giraffe, all gangly limbs and head, his body is actually still quite normal sized.
we're hoping that head contains a huge brain, so he can come up with the next internet company and keep his parents in diamonds and rubies with his billions.
i think we're going to have a very tall d00d on our hands (dad is 6'2, uncles are 6'4ish)
cath et al - very keen to have a GC or Bris meetup. I sort of 'know' you guys so it seems a little easier and more appealing that just chancing it with the community health group. would it be too much to come up with a weekly day/time so we can plot for it, rather than changing it each time which gets complex with all the various schedules.
haemmy's... my suggestion, classy as it is, squat over a mirror girlfriend, you'll soon see what's going on in buttville....
-
i would LOVE a catch up, that would be a great idea. Logan sounds good. sunday and monday are doable for me but would prefer any other day. hope we actually do meet up, unlike when we had the idea six months ago lol
-
Logan sounds good to me... Is everyone Ok with Logan and it being held at a park? The only thing I am concerned about is the QLD heat in a park on the little bubbas...
Viv - I am going to the CHC mothers group today... It's not very good, I find the mother's there quite random... But I'm going just to get Ro weighed. I like the sound of a regular meet-up! Our GC group is great, just not regular... They are coming over my house tomorrow if you'd like to join. I live in Pacific Pines, which is the exit after Molendinar on the Smith St MWY.
-
Logan sounds good to me. Just concerned with the weather being so hot and the rain coming out of no where lately so I was thinking maybe the Hyperdome cause they have their piazza area outside with a little playground for those with the toddlers but all the coffee shops and that are air conditioned.
-
piazza is a wise choice.
catherine - am so there for tomorrow - what time? will have to get dh to bring me over. how long does it usually go for? email yer addy?
-
Welcome Terri! I do a yoga class at burliegh heads doem the coast. Its run by a very dear friend! I love your bubbas name very cute!
Brissy meet up! The piazza at hyperdome sounds good! Just tell me where and when!
Trish I did start that post at like 4pm and didnt finish till an hr or so later so it took me a while, but once he was down i managaed better! Hope you and bubba are well!
Ha Ange Falguni I had totally forgotten about Lil L aslias!:p
Well off to the Ob now so have a great day ladies!x
-
falguni will stick forever. it's just how it is.
while my mother may have settled on 'Vivienne' at the urgings of my siblings, her initial name choice for me was.... MARIGOLD! can we not?
-
GC/brissy girls - Logan Hyperdome sounds perfect. Would prefer a weekday,'tho can do a weekend, and the only days that don't suit me are 19/11, 20/11, 23/11, 6/12 and 13/12. Really look forward to meeting you all. Could we look at sometime in the next month, before Xmas festivities start to take up all our time? Maybe the first week of December?
Star - hi stranger! Glad to hear things are going well with you, DH and Mateo. Loved the photos. He certainly has a thick crop of dark hair.
After our hellish day yesterday, L slept straight through from 7pm to 3am, and then we were up every hour or so after that. He then slept from about 8am to 10.30ish. I am learning more of the triggers that he is sleepy. He fell asleep in my arms and I even took off my top to place in his basinette so he could "smell" me and think I was still near. I read that somewhere.
Got 2 lots of visitors coming today. Should break the monotony of the day
-
Viv- oh yeah if you wanna reveal who your SS was after we all open thats fine but if someone wants to stay anonimuios we cant force it upon them! (unless u have a tactic up your sleeve!)
Ursula- i just needed to know for your SS whether you wanted the present just for Maddy or half for you and half for her or just for you! Your ss is waiting to get something until she knows for sure.
Mothers group- its mostly for first time mums. i joined one in melb with Nixon. we did the 6wk thing and exchanged numbers and then started meeting at each others houses once a fortnight.
we also went to vairous mums and bubs movie sessions highly recommend that while u can! once they get to a certain age its too hard but when they are so young its great!
Then we also started a swimming group together. most of the dads took the kids.
toward the one yr mark it started slowing down cause a lot of mums went back to work and i have heard since they very rarely meet up. its a shame i enjoyed it.
there end up being 8 of us and 2 have since had another baby and another 2 are pg. so if i were down there still id prob be still seeing these ones, but not to be. when we finally work out where we are living i want to join a play group.
wow Ange what a great sleep whoo hoo! Tyron did 2 good stints last night. 6pm-12.45am and then next feed at 6.45am. but he has been very sooky thismorning, hasnt let me get anything done so im wearing him in the HAB now.
my gf with 13m old twins is driving up from melb to stay with us for a couple of days so excited to see them! but ofcourse i had a zillion things i wanted to get done which so far i havent been able to do.
-
I've always hated my name, even thought about changing it.
I wish someone had tried to talk my mum out of calling me Morwenna.
Ever since i had to put Maddi on fomula she's been sleeping great, she just doesn't sleep much through the day but she's alseep by 7-8pm usually, then i wake her around 11:30pm, then she sleeps till 6am, She's even sleeping in her cot more which is great, but i miss not having her so close to me.
-
Saffi - same thing is happening with Tahlia at the moment, she is happy having a comfort suck, falls asleep in my arms, I put her back in her bassinette and she screams, its very tiring...
Star - great pics of Mateo - what a cutie!
Tahlia had a restless night last night, woke up at about 9pm and was awake till about 11 - she had a wind pain, however when I try to get it out of her she can smell my milk and wants to comfort suck. DH can get a burp from her in about 5 mins but he is back at work so I dont want him to sleep deprived as he might hurt himself at work if he is tired... She sleeps so well during the day, I have to try and figure out how to teach her the difference between night and day
I've uploaded some new pics of Tahlia to my gallery for those that are interested

Waaaaaaah, i wanna go to piazza! *stamps feet*
So many brissy gals. A friend just had a baby up that way, she lives in North Lakes. Due to visit them in the next 6 months, so might crash the party then!
MARIGOLD? LMAO. i guess with so many kids she had to get creative.
Mo- i like your name!
Kellied- how good are their noses, they can smell milk a mile away hey?
she's falguni when she's evil, luella when she's good. :)
-
Ditto your waaah re piazza Ange - we have so many friends who've moved up to Brissy/Gold Coast and we dream that one day we'll be there too!!!
Great pics Star and Kellie! Your bubs are just adorable :)
I must go and find my camera cord to download a few new pics as well.....
We've had a good day today - i got a few more hours sleep this morning and then after Hayleys lunch time feed I even got to read my Marie claire from cover to cover! bliss!!! :):):):)
So all the Brissy/GC gals are planning a catch up - how about all the Sydney girls and bubs?? Anyone keen??
-
The catch ups sound like a great idea, pity I live in vic! Toby has been great today, had a foul day yesterday and monday.
Lucky you kate for ggetting to read a mag from cover to cover. I swear my kids hear my bum hit the chair when i am going to read eat or have a coffee. LOL so I am always never finishing what i started.
Have a good day.

Hi everyone!
Some exciting news for me today!! My sister had a baby girl this morning!!! Our babies are exactly 2 weeks apart in age, that is so awesome! The bizarre thing is that her SIL is currently in labour and should have her bub on the same day! They were due on the same day too (16/11), how weird is that?? I can't wait to go and visit them tonight.
We spent the morning in Port Melbourne, looked at a property for sale, had a coffee, took Joel to a park there and I b'fed Kieran in the car, so it was nice to get out for once. I'm feeling a bit house-bound at the moment and it will only get worse when DH goes back to work tomorrow :( .
Re: mothers group. I also joined one throught the child health centre with Joel when he was 6 weeks. We all got along great so kept meeting weekly. When the bubs turned 12 months most girls went back to work. A few of us girls continued to meet on and off and I'm still really good friends with a couple of them, but we don't meet up that often. The whole group is planning a meet up in December though, so that should be nice. I highly recommend giving your group a go, you never know who you will meet!
Star - Great to hear from you again! Mateo is such a handsome little man!
Saffi - Sounds like you got a little bit of peace last night. I wonder if Lachlan is in any discomfort? I know babies want to be held a lot when they are in pain or discomfort. I had a nightmare of a time with Joel when he was tiny. He would only sleep during the day if I held him (no probs sleeping at night in his cot) and would crack it if I tried to put him in his cradle or cot. Even during his wake time, he would only last 5 or 10 minutes before wanting to be picked up. After lots of tears from both of us we finally discovered that he had a dislocated shoulder from birth that was never picked up! We took him to a paediactric chiropracter who sorted him out and things got a lot better after that.
Anyway, I think I've written a small novel. Sorry for my ramblings everyone!

Port Melb, is lovely trish. Wouldn't mind living there! We got married at the yacht club.
Off to OB for 6 week check tomorrow. What exactly do they 'check' BTW?
-
PMSL @ Marigold... Can I introduce you as Marigold tomorrow Vivienne? Only 4 of the girls are coming, the rest are MIA. But Claire is actually one of the ladies who was in the 1-15th Octo Belly Buddy group... She ended up having Joshie via c/s in September. They are coming around 12.30-1ish... But you are more than welcome to pop around anytime that suits you. Really not sure what time it will finish up, so pick a time! I would pick you up, but I only have one bub seat attachment thingy... :(
Well Rochelle has been unsettled today.. I'm not sure whether it's because we have had a long day out or because my supply is shotty... I feel like I have no milk :( I'm seriously considering switching over to formula, It would be so much easier... But like Mo said, I would miss that closeness and I do love BF'ing. Back to the fenugreek and expressing for me I thinking!
Hope all are well! :)
-
I had one day of no expressing..and my milk is gone.....:(
So my EBM days are over before i seen my LC....down in the dumps here..my own stupid fault. Yet another failure by me. I seem to be full of them...great mum arent i...NOT
