I'm so proud of Maddi, she is moving up a class at swimming.
Which is a huge step for her. It's taken her a long time to gain confidence in the water & now she does everything she has by her self & she can go underwater & blow bubbles.
So as soon as a spot opens up for her she'll move up.
Well it has been about a million and 10 years since I popped in here, I have been very busy so much going on, just thought I would come on and say helloo to all you lovely ladies!!! Im sure I have missed out on a lot so update me on how you have all been!!
Mo I just saw you are expecting again!!!! WOOOOOO HOOO! Congratulations! How exciting! Its all early days is it? Wishing you sticky vibes !
AFM I am currently almost 27 weeks pregnnant again too! Dont know how I am going to go with 3 but I think I'll be fine cause Liam started prep this year so just have to get myself into a routine. I was soooooooo sad her was starting school but he has proven to be fine! Goes to show it is us mums who stress so much more than them. LOL. Sad to let go of my little baby though....
Another thing from me which I dont mind telling you girls (those of you who dont know anyway) ... When I was about 8 weeks pregnant I found out I have Thyroid Cancer. Had to have an op when I was 14 weeks old to remove half my thyroid, and now I have to have another op when bub is born, probably about 2 weeks old... Then the hardest part to come, I have to have radiotherapy, which measnI cant be around ANY of the kids for 9-10 days. I have absaluotely no ide ahow I am going to do that, my heart breaks thinking of leaving them. I have only been away from my oldest 2 for 2 days at a time, let alone a newborn, but I guess I am just goingto concerntrate on my pregnanyc and meeting my little bubba at the moment and think about that when I have to... So yeah 2010 was not a fantastci year for us, and I am sure 2011 is going to have its trying moments for me too but what can you do? Overall I am feeling very positive and lucky it was found when it was...
Hope u ladies are all going well!!! Will try very hard to stay in touch more often!!!
Mo Well done Maddi! Max doesn't want a bar of swimming lessons...sigh! He'd rather drum! How is Bambi?
Becky HI! So glad you came by! I've been following you on FB....How awful about cancer....evil stuff . You're always so positive though so I'm sure you will get through all of it with relative ease. I can't believe I was the same amount of 'pregnant' as you are last year, and now I have a little (almost) 9 month old to show for it! So precious!
AFM - we move this Thursday and I CAN'T WAIT! Max started drumming lessons on Saturday and he loved it. It was only a 15 minute lesson, and it took a while to get him warmed up, but he got there in the end, with a few words like 'SMASH it' and he was right! His teacher is a quiet gentle soul, so they understand eachother! I'm also looking up starting Max in Kindy (called Nursery here), so he'll start in September. I've shown him pics on the internet of the one I want to send him too and he seems excited (I showed him the pics of the kids watching the rubbish truck!!)
Go Maddi! How's all that bleeding and things going Mo?
Yules- Drumming is way cooler than swimming! Two more sleeps!
Becky- Wow, that sux. What a rough road you've been on. The isolation after the radiation treatment will be tough. Unfortunately cancer often surfaces during pregnancy, something to do with all the extra hormones. Can you make sure you take in a laptop and you can at least skype your family and fill the days in on the net. Chances are it may end up a little radioactive from your sweat, but they should be will be able to store it and monitor it until it reaches a safe level for you to pick up.
Still spotting/cramping but we did see a heartbeat last Fri
I see my Ob next Monday & hopefully Bambi still has a nice strong heartbeat.
Becky
Jules how exciting, it will be so nice having your place with a yard.
Ange how are the gorgeous L & S doing? Is S talking heaps now?
K is a real chatterbox & really cracks me up with some of the stuff she comes out with.
I still can't believe they'll be 2 in less than a month!
Amber how is Myles? I was so glad he did break anything it must of been so scary for you
Trish how are your little ones doing? is K still loving Kinder?
Well that's kind of good Mo. Constant spotting must be stressful though.
S is hilarious these days. The things she says really cracks me up sometimes. She talks a lot. Maybe more than L did?! She imitates L all the time which can be amusing. I am loving this almost 2 age. She is a real cruiser and nothing much bothers her, which makes life simpler. Lu on the other hand is tantrum central still! Although we have implemented the 123-magic book principles and it's working a treat. Cut the whinging and tantrums down a lot.
Oh Mo that must be really stressfull! but YAY for a heart beat!!!!! Becky big hugs hun and congrats cant wait to hear all about your birth when the time comes!
Jules moving moving moving Hope your having fun! Drum lessons sound awesome!!!!!!
JM are you back in PNG?
All I can say is M is a total RATBAG at the moment! He is just out of control, he wont listen, he is continually hurting F, and the whingey voice is driving me insane...someone please take him away and give me back my old child....is anyone else experiencing this with their kids?
YES Amber. Testing me every minute and hurting her sister. Honestly get your hands on a copy of 123-magic. It really helps. I think there is some info on it on the main site here.
Yep back in the jungle. How's the business plans coming along?
So is it a book? Will go have a look! He has also started to wee on the floor? I caught him today in the lounge room pulling his pants down an weeing He knows how to use the toilet...I dont understand? Maybe he really does have to go to kindy...maybe he is bored here with us?
so whats the jungle like??? Hope your staying away from those tropical diseases:P
Business plan is kaput lol! We could not see it working so we are staying in Brisbane...I think it will be a good thing...family close by and that way when we holiday at the beach it is a holiday and not just another day
Yep a book. Also a parenting course you can do. Thomas Phelan is the author.
Have you had any major upheavals that might be upsetting him? Suddenly wee'ing on the floor seems unusual. Do you get out of the house a bit? Seems like you guys are always doing something? Could all just be part of the testing three's though? Lu is learning just how to push my buttons lately. I felt really at my wits end and out of control until i read this book a couple of weeks ago.
Jungle is good. A little lonely at times. I have friends, but they are mostly older and without kids. The one person close to my age with young kids is a total cow and does things like organise coffee and invite everyone except me. So i try and ignore her. I have a great friend but she lives 2 and half hours drive away! That's who we went away with last weekend and we are heading down to see them again this weekend. It's good to get off the 'farm'.
Bummer on the business plan. I read your other thread but was on my phone. I think you should do the course. Take it day by day and if it doesn't work out you can always drop out. But if you really want to do it then do it then you should give it a crack. Things sound a bit stressful for you atm.
Maddi is a real drama queen & he throws the biggest tanties. It gets a little embarrassing sometimes but then she is soooo good other times. She always uses her manners so at least i'm doing one thing right lol
Ange do your 2 fight a lot? K & M don't fight that much but when they do it's a real B**ch fight.
Hair pulling, throwing each other on the ground, biting, kicking & hitting.
K is like S a real easy going personality but if you take something off her she'll let you know she's not happy about it.
Amber, you aren't alone with the behavior thing. Max is nuts at the mo, and I was at the end of my tether with it ( then today of all days I realized why..... Af arrived!!)
Ange thats what I thought has something upset him but there really is not anything different? I am trying to dedicate one day a week for just him and I so we can just hang out hopefully that will help. Bummer wbout the lady who is a cow....you really should come live in QLD I promise I am not a cow :P
Jules omg that was me last month I could not for the life work out why I was so angry with the kids and then *hello* Af arrived for the first time since F was born!
Mo Am glad we dont have tantsy as such! there is a bit of crying going on at everything at the moment *sigh* x
AF sure picked her timing, but it explained so much. I was tired, felt soooooo fat, and so so angry. Max was copping it, and his whinging and 'no' answers and 'I can'ts' were getting to me so much more than normal. It was not pretty!
Hey guys! Sorry for not chatting sooner, I'm so flat out atm. I'm getting a new website for RNR and it is almost finished (yay!) so I've been busy organising that as well as adding more stock (it is so time consuming!). I've also branched into selling factory seconds sposies so I'm really making myself work for it LOL! Like I don't have enough to do .
Amber - That whingy voice *sigh* I know it so well. K is the worlds biggest whinger LOL! When he's over tired he's an absolute shocker.
Mo - I'm so glad you got to see a heartbeat! Here's hoping for smooth sailing from now on in
JM - Sorry you feel lonely at times . I have those days and I live in the 'burbs! I can't believe that chick excludes you! Her loss for sure
Yules - How's the move going?
AFM - I'm in so much pain atm . My pelvis is totally screwed and it's also put my hips out. I have constant sciatica and just horrible pain all 'round. I'm seeing a chiro regularly again, so hopefully I can get back on top of things.
K is LOVING kinder . He has a couple of friends he hangs out with and he has so much fun. He feels so grown up, nawww... J is doing well in grade 1, his teacher loves him and raved about him at our parent/teacher interview, it makes me feel so proud . Alana is great. She's such an independent one that we're having lots of tanties atm! But she's such a bright little button, she knows how things work. The MCHN was very impressed with her speech and said she speaks better than most 2 year olds! I love my kids, I feel so lucky! (Sorry for such a soppy post haha!)
I hope everyone's well, I'd better run and get more stuff done. Talk to you all soon!
Saw the Ob again & Bambi has a very healthy & strong HB
The only downside i'm suffering from a really bad morning sickness, Ob said i'm starting to get dehydrated & if i keep going the way i am i'll end up in hossy.
I'm really hope it backs off soon I'm so over it!
That's great news about Bambi Mo! Not so good about the MS though . How many weeks are you now? Did you get bad MS with the girls? I get boy vibes about Bambi
I forgot to say Hi to Becky when I posted the other day . Hi Becky! It's great to hear from you again . Sorry you have to deal with cancer . It must be so hard knowing you'll be apart from your kids for a little while .
Not much to report here. I've got kinder duty tomorrow and I'm looking forward to seeing K in action! Alana will be coming along too, I reckon she'll love it. She is saying new things all the time still. Today she learned to say "monkey" and when I was changing her dirty nappy she said "Yuck, it stinks!" haha! I cracked up laughing at her so she said "Hi five!" and gave me a hi five . She's such a character.
I've got a friend helping me on Wednesday to take photos for the new website homepage. Hopefully the new site will be live by the end of the week, then I'll show it off to you all!
I have absaluotely no ide ahow I am going to do that, my heart breaks thinking of leaving them. I have only been away from my oldest 2 for 2 days at a time, let alone a newborn, but I guess I am just goingto concerntrate on my pregnanyc and meeting my little bubba at the moment and think about that when I have to...
