Kristie - You crack me up! :lol: Benjamin points out the fact that mummy has boobies and says it with a giggle. These funny little people and their big world of discovery.
Got a question: How do you discourage a toddler from saying the 4 letter F word? Benjamin has picked it up and says it very frequently now. It's embarrasing and shock horror. Everytime he says it lately I say "soap" to him. Not that he'd understand what soap has to do with that word he keeps repeating....Any ideas?
Tracey - Yep, we are dtd TTC for child number 2 too. It would be nice to both fall at the same time.
Melissa
-
Melissa, when Milo says it I say 'Truck? Where's the truck Milo? Theres no trucks here...' or something like that.
Theres another thread somewhere about this I think, and it suggests making up or using another word, and turning it into a game, so focus on the toehr word and make that interesting than the swear word.
-
Hi!
Melissa - I basically do what Rachael says...Louis says the "s" word so we just say - yep, sit down or ready, SET, go! LOL! I think it's working so far!!
-
Rachael - Happy Birthday, better late than never :lol:
I've tried the similar words thing, and buck or duck seems to be the thing he repeats most after you correct him from the f word. He won't say truck. I'll have to persist with this one.
Melissa
-
we have turned the f word into Fork! And she hardly ever says it now unless she is wanting a fork to eat with! Arent they just little gems, they are sponges at the moment! Sucking up everything they can, both good and bad
-
Ooh Rachael - I'm so sorry! Happy Birthday!!!! Hope you had a great day!!!
I feel so nauseous today....I'm going to get a hpt when my mum or sister gets here...
-
OH my god kristie- you are freaking me out!! Let us know how the test goes!
-
You're freaking out!!! I've just looked back at the dates and it's more than possible...I'm very nervous...I keep thinking no I couldn't possibly be but then I think about all the people it does happen too...very scary...LOL!
I've been spotting though so who knows???
-
Hurry up and test - put me out of misery (its all about me!!) oh and you out of misery too! Maybe its better not to know?
-
I was thinking that! hehe.
Nah...I did a test and it was bfn...I'll test first thing in the morning though because going by last af (if it was that) I would only be 4 weeks tomorrow...
So far so good...we'll see what happens - maybe af will arrive overnight!!
-
OMG Kristie I hope you you get the result you are after. I am sure you could handle 3 babies but if its not want you want I certainly hppe it is a BFN.
Melissa I would go with saying words similar to the swear word like everyone has suggested. I havent come across that prob yet. Jordan doesnt say much. I would love to be your belly buddy so fingers crossed for you sweety
Cindy glad Tori had a great time with her friend. She really is a social butterfly. Glad you had a nice time aswell.
Nikki That sounds great going to sydney over night. Are you taking Harry with you? If you need someone to have Chantelle for a night she is most welcome here. I wont be offended if she doesnt stay but the offer is there.
Rachel the truck word sounds like a great word changer for the swear word I will keep it in mind.
Well today Jordan was taught to put things in the bin by his daddy. Jamie now has a little slave :) He is putting all his own nappies in the bin and all our empty coke cans and rubbish is now handed to Jordan. He thinks he is so clever when he does it, its very cute.
So looking forward to tomorrow and the day off. I am going to take Jordan to the play centre. I didnt go last week but am going to make myself. He wanted to go into the play equipment at bunnings on the weekend and had a massive hissy fit when we wouldnt let him, way too many older kids running around. I think he will love it even if we dont know anyone there.
Only a week to go till AF is due. I so want to test but know that it is too early. ARGH i hate the TWW.
Have a nice night everyone
-
Hi!
Tracey - I'm feeling fine tonight so I wonder if I've just got some sort of bug??? As much as I'd love another bubba it's really not great timing just now...
LOL at teaching Jordan to take things to the bin!! Louis does that quite a bit with dirty nappies etc! Very handy! LOL.
Hope you have fun at the playcentre!!
I'm so wishing you all the luck for this cycle!!!
-
HI!
Af arrived this morning! I can't believe that I seem to have a 28d cycle...never had that before! I've forgotten what it's like with all the crappy feelings before af arrives...I think thats why it's so hard when you are ttc because your body plays all these tricks on you.
Well, I'm very relieved and dh was having a heart attack last night! LOL! He said he was more nervous than he's ever been! hehehe.
Poor Louis woke up scared in the night...Luke and Kelly were asleep in his room and the rustling of their sleeping bags must have woken him..we brought him into bed with us but he couldn't sleep and after half an hour I took him back to bed and he was ok...kind of felt sad that a cuddle with us in bed couldn't calm him but thats the first time he's been in our bed!!! I would definitely turn back the clock on that one because everyone used to say that it spoils the kids but I don't think there's anything nicer than being able have a snuggle with the kiddies...Mind you when he was a baby we used to have a morning feed in bed and snuggles. I'm doing that with Dylan at the moment and it's soo nice!
Louis has a new obsession with harry and his bucketful of dinosaurs and runs around the house saying "jump Harry" and launching himself! LOL!
OK - enough of my dribble! Hope you're all well - chat later!
-
Kristie - That's so cute! I can't get Benjamin away from that show either. OMG! I just realised the dilema you were facing, and I bet even though another child would have been nice, one that close to your little one would have been scary...
Tracey - Our kids are at a cute stage, minus the temper tantrums. Benjamin has been shown the same thing by his daddy. Benjamin also clears the plates away to the sink. He's such a little angel sometimes.
Melissa
-
Kristie, glad that is was AF, it seems thats what you were hoping for :)
Milo's still not that well. Will probably be heading back to the doctors tomorrow, as yesterdays visit has done nothing. :( He is well enough in himself, but has run a temp for the past 4 nights, wakingat 3-4am (midnight on Satruday) and not going back to sleep without me or DH lying next to him.
Birthday on Sunday was good, DH bought me a digital photo frame so now I can have my 2 boys on muy desk at work! Its nice to see the cute. happy pics of milo after a horror night, makes me remember he's not like that all the time!
-
Rachael - I hope MIlo gets well soon. I had to make the visit to the doctors last Friday for Benjamin. He had conjunctivitus again and the cold he's got is still hanging around. He's had it over a month now, and we've tried just about everything for it. He's now on antibiotics for it. I now have conjuctivitus in one eye and it hurts. Now I know how he feels when he's got it.
Poor little mites!
Benjamin starts his 3rd term swimming program tomorrow.
My best mates fiancee is being induced tomorrow. She was telling me that she just feels tired and worn out now, doesn't feel like she can move. I said to her, that it will all over soon. She's having a big baby boy...last scan at 36 weeks he was edging 10 pounds. I know Benjamin was big but this kid is going to be a whopper.
Melissa
-
Hi!
Melissa - isn't it amazing how gorgeous they can be one minute and how crazy they can drive you the next? LOL!
Sorry to hear Ben's so sick...Hope the antibiotics help! bugger about the conjunctivitis...Hope it clears up soon.
Have fun at swimming tom - we're skipping Louis this term as he has it at 5.30pm at night and it's just to cold and miserable at the moment to take him out...
Wow - Sounds like it will be a massive baby! Hope the scan was out a bit...LOL! Let us know how she goes!
Rachael - Poor Milo! I hope he gets better soon...Glad you had a good b'day! Wow the dig frame sounds great!
My niece and nephew have gone home and the house is quiet as both kids are in bed (although I think Louis is playing...) I've got a friend coming around for visit soon though...better have a quick tidy up!
I just can't seem to feel warm today...even though the ducted heating is set at 20 like it always is...
-
Krisite glad it was AF bugger that she has returned so early though. Poor Louis getting a fright in the night.
Melissa 10 punds, golly. I wouldnt want to be pushing that one out :)
Rachel I hope Milo feels better soon and glad you had a good birthday
well we went to a play centre this morning and Jordan had a ball. I got a little bored at times as we went on our own and I had no one to chat to. He played in the toddler area and then in these little cars. He wanted to climb up the big slide thing but as I couldnt follow I didnt let him. I think the mums would have guessed it was our 1st time as they all sat and let their kids do whatever. I went into each area with jordan and sat with him etc. I lightened up an hour or so into it.
I have cleaned the bathroom, it so needed it.
Jordan is asleep but think when he wakes we will go for a walk to see the ducks. We really dont get out enough I have decided to there's no time like the present.
-
Wow Tracey, Jordan's hair is great in your ticker photo!
Milo had his first haircut on Sunday, he looks like more aof a boy now! hee hee my Aunty cut it, she couldn't believe it was his first haircut!
-
Hi!
Tracey - Glad you had fun at the play centre...I'm the same following Louis around and watching him...Although it is a lot harder now that I have Dylan. It's so handy when Cindy and I go cos we get to have a chat and watch out for the kids together! Good for you going out and about today! I haven't been doing much at all lately. It's just so cold though...
Rachael - Yeah at Milo having his first haircut!!! Gosh Louis has had tonnes - hehehe. Would be a lot easier if he didn't need to yet though...!
-
alls well here,unfortunantly chantelle is now sick,she has had a nasty temp for the past 2 days and it looks like hand foot and mouth disease.poor thing is miserable.harry seems to be relapsing with his cough also.the meds that he was on for his ear infection caused a really really bad nappy rash to the point that it was almost bleeding.i have it under control.JUST.it is still very inflammed.
corey had a photo shoot for myers on monday and he did very well.james is going to see the new harry potter movie tomorrow and corey is going to science works.
thankyou for all your offers to babysit my little channy,i will let you all know what we think will be the best thing to do.
ummmm,not much else.
nikki
-
Hi!
Nikki - You poor thing with the kids! Poor little munchkins are having a real bad run of it...Hope they all get better soon!
Wow at Corey having a photo shoot on Monday - thats great! The kids must be loving the holidays!! I bet you're run off your feet though!
Hope you get some sleep!
-
Nikki - wow on corey having a shoot this week! Is that his second one already? Little spunk that he is! Sorry to hear the little ones are sick, not having a good run of it are you. do you go back to uni next week? I have been meaning to ask how you guys went at the bank about going in with grants brother etc and renovating places? is that still going ahead?
Tracey- i think you area great mum going by yourself to the playcentre! As kristie said, its great when we go together coz one of us is always free to chase them or sort out whatever is happening. I still think that we can open a great one ourselves, just need the money and location......
Well, i am getting ready for another day at work tomorrow - cant believe how fast the week has gone and i am back there again already. There is so much to organise with the two of them now. I am working twice next week so al will have the two girls all by himself on thursday next week for the first time ever and i am already nervous about it, he has to do it some time though its just he gets stressed out so easily. I am going to write down heaps of ideas for him to get charlotte settled and sleeping. He thinks he is ghoing to have the house spotless etc and dinner on the table for me when i get home so he can set the standard for me to live up to!! HAHA very funny boy that one!
we had charlottes 3month check today and she is average everything which is great except her head is below but thats cool, she also measured and weighed tori and she has finaly hit the 10kg mark!! I feel like i should have a party to mark it in history.
Well best go get organised, as i said work tomorrow and then we are taking charlotte to the modeling agency thursday and after that catching up with one of my frinds from the gold coast who is down here visiting her dad! SO cant wait to see her!
have a good day tomorrow!
-
Hi!
Cindy - Hope you have a good day at work!! LOL at Al thinking he can get everything done in a day with the 2 kids!!! I hope he does in one way cos it's less you have to do!!!
Although you'll probably never here the end of it!!
Sounds like you've got a busy week planned!!
Thats great Charlottes going so well and woohoo on Tori reaching 10kg!!! We've got Dylans tomorrow but it's way too early....What is Charlotts weight/height now??
Well...I'm very confused - Af has disappeared again....I really thought yesterday it was here properly but it didn't turn out to be much at all and it was gone by last night...I suppose your cycle can be strange straight after having a bubba??
Otherwise not much happeneing....Chat later!
-
Kristie, do you remember what your first AF after Louis was like?
Mine after Milo was really light, and only a couple of days. The following month it was back with a vengeance!
-
racheal me and kristie didnt get af at all before we fell prg.i am assuming that it would take a couple of cycles before things are normal.
cindy i have been at school during the kids school hols,we dont get a break,
nikki
-
tweedle just rang and they have a vacancy this friday to monday,i am very happy about that but not sure i can take them as they are sick....ggggrrrrr
seeing dr again tonight so have to ask him if he thinks they will be ok to go.
chantelle is much brighter today and doesnt appear to have hand,foot and mouth disease,thank goodness,but it is running riot through the daycare center.
nikki
-
Hi!
Rachael - Yeah, I didn't get af so have no idea!! I think this is my second one since Dylan...But yeah didn't really happen as such...
Nikki - what a bugger - hope you can make it to tweedle! Thats great that Chantelle looking a bit better!!
Louis just decided to eat some play doh...gross! it was stuck in his teeth!
-
oh dear what a night,just got back from the dr,he wanted to admit harry into hospital tonight cos he thought he had developed full blown pneumonia,i just wanted to get him home as we were there for 1.5 hours and he was beide himself,when i got home the dr rand and tried to persuade me to take him but i have still decided to wait till morning for the xray result,i just didnt want to be sitting in the waiting room till 4am and then get sent home.poor little boy is just so unwell and we just dont know what to do for him anymore.
nikki
-
Oh no Nikki - that sounds terrible...Oh the poor little thing...What will they do at the hospital?? Normally they don't let the kids sit around...I know when Louis had croup I didn't even sit down in the waiting room - we got sent straight through...
Is he sleeping ok?? Will he maybe be more relaxed spending the night at home?
Let us know how you go...thinking of you and poor little Harry..
-
Nikki - I hope things are better this morning, or you at least have a better idea of whats going on now. poor little Harry :(
Milo has an ear infection, which explains the waking at night and temps. I saw a different doctor today, and she reckons he must've had it in one ear, which was clearing when I took him to the GP one Monday, but now its in the other ear. So more Amoxyl. I am sure he must be building up immunity to it by now...
Kristie, LOL at the playdough..we haven't been game enough to go on to the playdough yet, there is enough frustration at our pace when the crayons come out!
-
Hi!
Rachael - Poor Milo!! I hope he gets better soon...poor little munchkin!
I heard from Nikki this morning...Poor Harry has been admitted to hospital and has bronchiolitis (sp?) and perforated ear drums...Get better soon Harry!!!
Just had Dylans check up - he's now 5.95kg and 60.5cm! Wow!! He's definitely bigger than Louis was!! He's doing well but his skin's flared up again on his chest which is no good...we tried derm-eze stuff but I think the sorbolenes doing a better job...I just really don't want to use the steroid cream...
Chat later!
-
Is it eczema Kristie?
I tried so much natural stuff for Milo, but we ended up with elocon, which is still a steroid, but not cortisone. I've also found the QV baby balm and bath oil are great in between flareups.
-
Yeah it is Rachael...ooh I might give those a try! I've got that cream as well but haven't used it yet...His skin isn't super bad but it's just noticeable a bit...
-
Nikki I am so sorry to hear about Harry I hope he gets better soon. I hope CHantelle is feeling better aswell.
Krisite yeah on Dylans weight and length. We had to use perscription cream on jordans cradle cap. We only need to for short time and then went away. I hope the natural stuff works well for you though
Rachel I hope Milo gets better soon. Gee it seems everyone is sick at the moment
Cindy I hope work went well. I know how you feel about getting organised for a day at work. YOu have to pack the bag with clothes and nappies. Toys for them to play with and for my mum food aswell. Then getting them organised in the morning, we just go in pjs and dressing gown. I am sure Al will be fine having the girls. He will certain get to see what a fantastic job you do with coping with it all, housework included.
Well got my haircut today which has made me feel great. I havent had it done since january. Jordan and i went back to the play centre today but with a friend and her 3 kids, Jordan had a great time. We then went out for lunch, jamie jordan our friend and I. Jamie didnt go to work today. We had a great day. Jordan now in bed for the night. Hopefully he will sleep better than last night.
He woke up several times crying, I think night terrors. He was so awful last night after coming home from my mums. He always seems to be really grumpy. I really wonder whether he gets over stimulated or just hates being there...... I wish i could see what goes on when he is there.
Anyways hope you all have a nice night.
Take care
-
Hi!
Tracey - Yeah on getting your haircut!! Sounds like you had a fantastic day!! Thats what Louis was like the other night - waking up really scared...but he kind of had reason - he had 2 monsters on the floor of his bedroom rustling sleeping bags - LOL!
Hope he sleeps ok tonight!
-
Nikki - let me know if i can do anything for you! I hope harry gets better soon! Poor little munchkin.
Well i can really write anything else, to tired tonight have to go to bed i think - i will check in with you all tomorrow!
-
Hello Ladies,
I am back online with a band new laptop, Yeah!!!!
My brother went into JB and got me a new Isus notebook, catch is I have to pay for it….
Anyway I am very happy to be able to be chatting with you all again, it has been 3 weeks and I have so missed catching up with all of your news.
I have been to see my friend from MG who I was saying was having a baby the other day. She had a little boy and named him Ethan, very cute.
Oh the story with Mil goes, I had teed up with her to look after Jett as Ben and I were both working. Anyway 5 minutes before Ben was due to leave for work she calls and says she is busy and can’t have him. I still had and hour and a bit to go and Ben was due at work. Anyway turns out she rang back and said that she could have him but we had to drop him off about 20 minutes away, but she had told me the week before that she would pick him up. What it with that??
Anyway Ben flipped it and we haven’t seen her for 3 weeks now, she is over every 2nd day so we have noticed her not around.
We just can’t rely on her, if she didn’t want to have him she should have just said.
Anyway I have now patched things up with MIL, it wasn't that big of a deal and for J
Jett’s sake it was better. It had already been 3 weeks since he had seen MIL and SIL. SIL has had all her hair cut off and Jett didn’t even know who she was, it is so short. She had really long hair and now she looks like a boy, very sad. She said that the hairdresser cut to much off it, opps!!
I hope all of the sick bubba's get well very soon.
Now that I have a computer I will go back throught the post and catch up.
Night all
-
Welcome back Dani! :D
Nikki - I think our kids all have something atm. I hope little Harry isn't too bad?
Kristie - My friend had her baby boy on Wednesday arvo at about 2pm naturally. He weighed in at only 7pound 11ounces. She was happy not to be pushing the 10 pounder they were expecting. I haven't gone to see little Nate yet, as I might get too attached and want to take him home. Yep, the cluckiness has started for sure now. My brother's girlfriend is due to pop in another couple of weeks too.
Melissa
-
Hi!
Cindy - hope you got some sleep last night!
Dani - Great to hear from you!!! Hope to see you around here more often now!! Sorry to hear about MIL - that would be soo frustrating!
Melissa - Yeah for your friend - geez they really can get it wrong can't they?? Glad she did so well!
It's funny...now that I've had that scare with being p/g it just makes me so sure I want another baby!!!(not that I want one right now though!) Dylan's growing up soo fast - the time really does fly! I felt clucky the same time after having Louis - around 3-4 months after...maybe another 2 yet?? If I can talk Michael into it! hehehe. Might have a battle on my hands there...
Chat later!
