(How long have you been waiting to use that whipping icon eh??? )
Hahahaha! As soon as that title changed under my name, that's how long :rofl:
How are you going anyway JM? I was raving to DH the other day about how you made your own hamburgers last week, including baking the buns! Super-mum you are :D
Saffi - How are you guys going?
Nic - So great to hear from you! Best of luck in your TTC journey, may it be short and sweet!
Mo - How are you feeling you poor love? I hope you are feeling OK today :hug:.
Julia - How's life in Jersey going? What are your gorgeous two up to?
:hello: Hi Kellie! I hope you guys are well!
How are you going today Amber? Feeling a bit nervous like me? :lol:
All is going good here, the kids are good, they all have slight colds so we've had some grumpiness, but apart from that it's all good. I'm nice and busy with the biz, the new website has made a huge difference which is great :D.
I hope everyone is well, come and post and fill me in!!
What will you do to me if I dont trish!!!!
Here all is ok.... Read my blog for the real story! Mum gets here on the weekend so I'll be able to have some computer time again for proper catch ups!
Miss you all!

Nickers- i totally missed your post. Did it take you long to conceive the boys? I can't remember. Can not believe Nixon is 5 already! Where does the time go? Good luck TTC the third one.
Yules- i have to check out your blog. I haven't done a blog post forever, i should really but when i'm grumpy i don't feel like it. :lol:
Trish- i only made the buns because i had to. :lol: Cooking from scratch certainly takes on a new meaning when you don't have access to anything. What are you nervous for?! You'll be fine, no need to be nervous! I'll beat anyone up who is mean to you. Ok, so i've never had a fight in my life but i'd give it a shot! :lol:
I'm here feeling much more human than before which is good still have bad days but even they aren't as bad as before now.
Kodi had a nice day for her birthday & she got a little bike which she loves. She can almost ride it as well unlike Maddi who just doesn't want to put the effort in to learn lol
Nothing else much happening here, i do have my 13wk scan on Fri so i'm looking forward to that :)
Hi all
Trish - congratulations on your appointment! About time Kelly made you a mod.
We are all well, thanks for asking.
Mo - pleased to hear that you are feeling a lot better.
At home today as M was sent home yesterday after a couple of icky nappies. So frustrating because she is perfectly well. But I can understand the reasons why and it gives me a day off work with my girl and a chance to catch up on some things.
Far out Saffi, if my kid had to stay home because of a runny nappy, they'd never go anywhere?!
Glad you're on the mend Mo. x
I know! M's nappy's are not the best as it is. I'm not complaining tho, I've done a few loads of washing, started sorting through the filing cabinet, and while M is down for her nap I'm going to do some ironing and watch a movie or some trashy soap. And tomorrow is my day off, so in a way I'm having an unplanned weekend.
Well sounds alright then! Lu was intolerant to dairy and had runny nappies for the first 18 months of her life! I say skip the ironing and go straight to the trashy movie!
K was the same till we changed her to A2 milk. The nappies she use to have ewwww.
Hi everyone
Thanks Ange and Mo for the suggestion about lactose intolerance. M's been on lactose free milk since the weekend and I am really noticing a difference in her nappies. I don't know why I didn't think about it before. `
That's great Saffi! I hope it stats like that.
We started with the lactose free but ended up on A2. It might be the lactose but I incorrectly thought that was our problem so I'll share just in case you need the info!
Sometimes it's not the lactose but the protein in the milk, as was the case with Lu. A2 milk has a different protein that seems better tolerated by many. The lactose free milk is uht, and I think that may alter the protein as we did have some better results with it. But I ended up having intolerance testing done and discovered the protein was our problem. Now, when we can get it, we all drink A2. So if lactose free doesn't work, try the A2. :)
K is the same it's the protein in normal milk she can't handle. We all drink A2 now & even Maddi is doing better on it.
That is great news Saffi & i hope she stays like that as well :D
Hi again
I looked at the A2 milk but thought I'd try lactose free first. Probably would be a good idea to have the intolerance testing done. I'm still giving her normal yoghurt but I think that is better tolerated than milk.
If it's working, I say stick with it! :)
Kodi can only handle some yogurts so stick to the Jalna ones for her. It's almost impossible to find the A2 yogurts here tho.
which ones do you give Lu Ange?
Saffi if it works for her i wouldn't bother changing. Only reason we changed is because Maddi wouldn't drink it & it gets expensive buying different milks.
We always had Jalna or goats yoghurt. But Lu has grown out of it and can tolerate any dairy now with no repercussions. :dance:
I can't wait for that day. K had ice cream the other day & had the runs for 3 days. Then she had too much cheese & her bowels are still trying recover. She's been a dairy free diet & only having milk for almost a week now.
That's great Lu grew out of it :D What age was she?
I tried her at about 2 and a half and she was fine.
Poor K!
I hope K out grows it by then to & yeah i really feel for her when it gets this bad :(
I felt really bad because i didn't even think about how much cheese she had till the next day when it was too late.
Trish how did K go with his 1st term at Kinder? Maddi had a blast & is so sad there is no Kinder for 2 weeks lol
Hope everyone else is well :)
Hi girls, thinking of you all..... Just sending some love!

Hi ladies!!
Mo - K loved his first term at kinder! He has made really good friends with one boy which is so cute. His friend's mum and I used to be in the same mother's group when J and her DD were born. They also live on our street so we are having lots of play dates and coffees, it's great :D
I am going so crazy already with the school holidays! The house is getting trashed non-stop (it's much easier to keep clean with only 2 home full time!) and there is constant fighting, ahhh! They also have lots of fun moments together too which is nice. But days like today when it rains makes it hard to keep them entertained! My dad visited earlier so we all went to the park. The boys are now in their bedroom playing, I have no idea what they're up to and I'd rather not find out :lol:.
A big hello to everyone! I hope you're all going well. I'd better get back to cleaning the house for the millionth time today...
Hey Amber - just noticed you are now a Mod too! Congratulations.
How's everyone going?
Only one more work day until we start our holidays. Woohoo!!! I'm a bit nervous flying with the kids (first time for M and first time L will remember it). Got the portable DVD player organised and colouring books. Only a short-ish flight so hopefully we won't have too many dramas. Anyone got any other suggestions?
If I don't pop in beforehand, hope you all have a great Easter break whatever you and your LOs are doing.
We are at the airport now waiting to fly to Fiji. Can't wait. :)
We fly a bit Saffi. My biggest tip would be to take as little as possible. The magic coloring books that have one pen that is clear are great. Less to carry and less to lose! Not sure what your stand is on bottles, dummies , breast feeding and lollipops but all are excellent ways to clear the pressure in the ears on takeoff and landing. :)
Apps on an iPhone are also great if you have one of those. We play eye spy and sing songs a bit too.
I find the less I have to carry the easier it is as I usually have the girls on my own. But never forget wipes and I always take a change of clothes for the kids. :)
Thanks Ange. Yep, got the magic pen colouring in books, an extra set of clothes each, and I will make sure we have plenty of swipes, a spew cloth, snacks and drinks.
Have fun in Fiji (I'd much rather be there lazing in the sun).
Ange so jealous of you being in Fiji :p hope you have a great time & the flight went well.
Saffi hope you have a great time as well :D
Maddi has turned into a little terror again.
She is so jealous of Kodi, she hits, slap, punches, kicks & pushes her over. Good thing is Kodi wont take her crap & will give it back to her. Bad thing is all day they fight well not all day but a huge part of the day.
Maddi has also taken to not going to bed & it's a real fight to get her down. Which results in more tanties.
She is so demanding & i dread the thought of Bambi being like her. 1 good thing is they are close & Maddi hates anyone being mean to K. I just wish she would stop the whole jealously thing!
Kodi is doing well she is a dream child compared to M but is so clumsy the girl is always covered in bruises or scratches.
I think half the problem is she has no fear, she will just go full on at everything & anything.
Bambi is also doing well, getting lots of flutters now. I'm 17wks already it's going quick.
Mo.... I am sadly glad to read that as max is being terrible at the moment.... Really really terrible! He is so jealous if Darcie, is just being mean all the time and is just so angry. I know he's dealing with so much, being 'homeless' and all ATM.... But I'm starting to want to give him away. Don't like him at all :(

Hope everyone had a nice Mothers Day yesterday :)
I need some opinions.
We were going to fly up to Syd to Visit Mum for her 1yr passing.
It would end up costing over 1k to spend 1 day up there, so we thought instead of doing that, that we go somewhere a long the coast & spend the weekend instead.
1 of the main points of putting her in the ocean was so we could visit any ocean & she would be there.
Anyway i can't decide when we should go. She passed away on the 7th but she was scattered on the 26th. Do we go on the weekend she passed away or the weekend her funeral was?
Happy mothers day for yesterday gals and happy birthday to you too Yules. :D
Umm i dunno Mo, if it was me i'd be going on the anniversary of her passing. :hug:
Mo -wow $1k for flights from Melb to Sydney! I'd also say the anniversary of her passing.
Things are fine here. L's going to his first birthday party this weekend for one of his Kindy friends. I'm so excited for him.
It's $700 if we can get the cheap flights & close to 1k if we miss them. Plus you have accom, car hire, food it adds up very quickly!
Thanks for the input Chicks x
Bumping us back to page 1.
Trish, Amber, Ange, Jules & Saffi, i know your all out there so come in say something lol.
Amber how's the move going?
Trish I'll be hopefully be popping in next weekend to see you, We're all sick here so i don't want to make anyone else sick.
Ange i'd love to catch up with you but i know your due soon & probably don't feel like going out anywhere but i'd still love to see you :D
Saffi how'd your holiday go?
Jules how's life going over in Jersery? Is it nice having Charlie back with you?
AFM
20 weeks today & got our big U/S next Monday but we wont be finding out :( Phil really really wants a surprise seeing as this is our last but i'm holding onto a tiny bit of hope he may change his mind on the day :D
I have this horrible head cold that wont go away & now i have a sinus infection so i'm feeling like crap but i hoping i'll feel better soon.
Maddi is doing well getting so big, every night we lay down together & she puts her hand on my belly so she can feel Bambi kick it's so cute. She really loves the idea of having a little sister, i point out to her Kodi is her little sister & she goes "your so silly Mumma, Kodi is a big girl now not a little sister" lol
Kodi is such a little girl now & so independent. She has such a cheeky personality she's always making you laugh.
Anyways i hope someone pops in here soon. Otherwise i'll just keep posting to myself & i'm sure someone will pop in one day :P
Hi Mo! Sorry for not coming in more often, there is so much going on right now that I have been a bit neglectful of my Octo-mates :redface:. How exciting that you have your U/S on Monday!!! But BOOOO @ Phil for being a spoil sport :lol:. All I know is that he/she will be mega-cute like his/her sisters :D. Come around whenever suits you, there is no rush. It will be great to see you again though! Ange & Kellie, if you're around feel free to come too and we can do a meet up!
AFM - I'm busy with all the usual stuff with the kids/business, etc. I'm doing lots of different activities with K and Alana now that the weather has gone so cold. We're doing a lot of painting, cutting, pasting, drawing and I'm teaching them numbers as we go along. I may as well educate them while we're stuck inside all day LOL!
K is going well, really loving kinder and his good friend there. J is going well, we're having some issues with his reading, but the teachers and DH & I are working intensely to get him further ahead which is great. I'm wondering if he might be a bit dyslexic as he gets some letters mixed up, I might chat to his teacher and the MCHN about it. Other than that he's such a bright kid :)
Alana is going great, she's so independent though! She insists on walking everywhere rather than riding in the pram and she can chuck a huge tanty when she wants too!! She's such a gorgeous character though, she gets comments about how cute she is wherever she goes and she knows it haha!
I hope everyone is well! I'd better get off BB and do some work now!
Sorry girls have been slack...I cant seem to post from my phone atm :( And the PC is now down stairs so have not been on much. Move went well LOVE our new home...I wish you could all come and see it and have a weekend with us :)
:hug: Love ya xx
