I just heard from Tracey and her internet is down so i am posting for her to say the scan went really well, there is only the one bub in there and her due date has been brought forward by 2 days!

I'm so glad to hear that it is so good, you had me worried there when i saw you hadnt posted about it yet Tracey!

[nicole mckay]

Hi!

Long time no chat! We're all well...just been a bit busy...We headed up to Bonnie Doon on Monday just for the night which was good...Dylan loved crawling around (even crawled up the brick steps in front of the heater - of course it wasn't on!) and Louis loved hanging out with the boys in the shed playing with cars and tractors etc.
Umm nothing else has really been happening - oh - I've finally stopped night feeds with Dylan - we had a couple of really rough nights where he cried for an hour plus but we won! hehe. He also slept 6 hours straight overnight last night and even then I think he only woke up cos his blankets were off. He also pulled himself up to standing yesteray on the dishwasher - omg!!
Louis is well - he just doesn't stop talking - LOL! He's also taking to correcting us all the time. So funny...Bit of a worry though when your 2yo is correcting you...hehe.
I'm so loving my gorgeous boys!! Michael's mum asked if we were having a 3rd and when I said yes all she could do was go on about how much more work it is and how much money it costs blah blah blah...she does it all the time...Annoys me so much. It's our choice how many kids we have and none of her business. It sounds so bad as well cos she had 3! Michael was an accident though so I just don't think she was prepared for having a 3rd iykwim?? Anyway...

Melissa = ewww what a creepy sounding dr...glad you're all better! Sorry to hear Benjamins got asthma...how awful of your sil...geez family are pains in the bum sometimes...I hope it all sorts out though...

Cindy - Nup, didn't try any formula with him. We're on 4 milk feeds and 3 solids a day - he's actually feeding a lot better since I cut out the night feed as well. Poor little munchkin was so tired the last 2 nights he fell asleep in his high chair after his dinner!! Yeah - thats great your mums looking forward to her party - I must give her a call tomorrow!
Geez...I hope Charlotte didn't get sick from me and the kids...sounds like it though with the not eating etc. So so sorry!! Hope she's on the mend and you can get some rest and sleep in!

A catch up next week sounds great!! We should be right to come along hopefully!!What time??

Nikki - Hope Corey's feeling better! Glad you had a good bbq!! Oooh your good taking the kids in at night - I'm not that brave! hehe. Ooh yeah the casino usually have a great display don't they! I'll have to add that to the trip. What's the santas cave at Collingwood??
Wow - how exciting celebrating your 10y anniversary!! A massage sounds great! I'm not very good with ideas like that...

Tracey - You inspired me to book a holiday - I booked a house down at Phillip Island for a weekend next Feb - we're inviting a whole heap of family so should be great! Makes it really cheap as well!!
Hope your m/s goes away really soon. Louis doesn't take his nappy off - well - he did once but hasn't made a habit. Although so funny today...I found a little nugget on the floor but he had his boxers and nappy still on - this was just after he first woke up - so I go to have a look and change his nappy and it was so wet from over the night that it was hanging down low and his little bum was hanging out - hehehe. He slept in until 8.30am so had such a full nappy - I've just finally got around to buying him the next size up which was soo needed!
Didn't even pay any attention to the cup...whoops!
I'm so glad your u/s went well - what an exciting time for you!!!! I hope they put it on video - how dodgy if they didn't!! Yeah at bubba being so active - cheeky little thing!!
Don't stress about choccy - you deserve it!!
Oh my gosh - you are going to be buggered after the weekend!! I think I'd die babysitting 3 kids! hehehe. Good luck!!

Rachael - Oh no at pooing in the bath - hehehe. The things they do! LOL! I'm sure he'll do fine in the transition to a big bed. Louis had no dramas and loves it!! Just get one of those side barriers if your worried. they're really good. Although we forgot to take it with us when we went away and Louis slept in a high single bed but didn't fall out. He doesn't wriggle too much...
Wow at your brother having a big win - that would be great!! I wouldn't ever know who to bet on though...

ok - I really must get to bed! Chat later!

HI Ladies
sorry to worry everyone. Lamb chop (as I am calling bubs) is perfect and SOO active. We were in the scan for an hour as bubs wouldnt co operate and turn the right way so he could do the test he needed LOL. What are we in for??????
I am so pleased all is well and today I have been feeling pretty good so hoping the MS is starting the leave us now.
Jordan has been a pleasure this week. He is getting so talkative even though it doesnt make sense and he is beginning to understand what we are asking, put things away etc. We have sent him to his room a few times for being naughty and he wont come out till we tell him, he may open the door but wont come out. SO CUTE.

This weekend is going to be hectic as we are baby sitting our friends 3 kids from saturday thru to monday afternoon. This house is going to be caotic. I will know what its like to be in Nikkis house I think LOL

Glad to see everyone is well. Have a great friday everyone.

[nicole mckay]

cindy.are you coming to the xmas dinner for belly belly?
kristie i will bring the info about santas cave on tuesday with me.
tracey what time do you want us tuesday?
nikki

[cindyb]

Nikki- not going to the christmas dinner- im pretty sure it is on when we are away. What was the date of it again? I'm sure thats why i wasnt going....

Kristie - good to hear you and the boys are doing well. Cant believe you have stopped the night feed for dylan! There is no way i could with charlotte - she gulps down the whole bottle in the night so obviously needs it. where is this mothers group bbq? I can come now

Had a mad day today of running around but i have managed to get this weekend off tupperware which is great and much needed! Everyone cancelled on me and put it off for the next weekend for lots of diff reasons but as i said- i realy could use a weekend of being home.
We are out for tea with kim and her hubby tomorrow night and then a bbq sunday morning but thats it! Hopefully we will get the house sorted out!

[cindyb]

Oh my gosh Kristie - I just read your post again and it dawned on me that you said Dylan is pulling himself up on things already! Charlotte is getting on her hands and knees rocking and can sit but no way is she ready to pull herself up! Dylan is just like tori was and its p-robably why they are skinny things too!

[Pandora]

Hi guys. SOrry just a quick one, I havent' read everything cos I'm in a bit of a rush. Haven't had dinner yet.

I can't come on Tuesday, working. Cindy my parties are going OK, averaging one a week which is about as many as I want TBH. We had a sales contest (I don't know if it was just my distributership or not) but I ended up getting all of the RBW host gifts for free, plus the red cannister thingos. not bad huh?
Milo is a lot better. I think we might start with converting his cot to a bed rather than dismantling it completely, that way it won't be as unfamiliar. Well I hope so anyway.
Well the finance broker person was supposed to submit our pre-approval yesterday, and I haven't heard anything so I hope its OK...i know it wasnt going to be a quick one cos of me starting my new job, but she was very confident it was all going to go thru OK. I know she works saturdays all day so I hope I hear something then...

[cindyb]

rachael - we did the same thing with toris bed -converted the cot and she thought it was fantastic! Good luck with the finance, i hope you hear something tomorrow! I got all of the RBW samples too! I was the only one in my team to get all of them including the canisters! Whats your goal for RBW? Mine is only small coz i am going away for half of it but still its $2500.

I am off to bed - hopefully i will get a good nights sleep by going to bed early??

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Headed into the city today to an office to sell tbs. Went quite well but I missed my bubbas. Poor Dyaln missed a feed all together but made it up in the arvo!!

Nikki - thanks!

Cindy - So glad you can come!! We're having it at Lilydale Lake! Dylan's feeding so much better now that I've dropped the night feed I must say. Oh yeah - he's just got ants in his pants...he's a bit clingy at the moment which is a bit hard as well. He stood up at the fisher price table we both have today for about 3-4 minutes playing before he plopped back down!!! Cheeky bum. I think he just wants to catch up to his big brother!
It will be nice for you to have a weekend off!! You've had so much on!!

Rachael - Wow - sounds like you've been doing well with tupperware!! Glad Milo's on the mend. Good luck with loan!

k - so need to go to bed...I'm soooo tired! Chat later!

[deancey]

Hi ladies

I am fine for you to come over whenever on Tuesday. We are generally up early. Normally we do between 10.30 and 11.00 but if you want to come earlier pop in.
Feeling good today. At work just chillin (so naughty)
Be back later for personals as gotta do some work in the last 1/2 hr.

Take care

having an awsome day today,we just got back from the street parade here in melton,which is huge.then took the kids to the carnival on the rides etc and markets,tonight we are going to the fireworks and doing a few more rides.was nice and hot too.going to have fish and chips in the park before we go.
i think harry may have the chicken pox.he has lots of spots from head to toe but not sure as have not seen dr yet.i will be able to tell anyway as soon as they start to blister if it is.
me and grant are going though a bit of a rough patch at the moment,not actiually fighting just questioning our relationship as we dont really seem to have the fire at the moment.

[cindyb]

Nikki- sounds like you are having a great day! Sorry to hear you and grant are at that stage! It cant be easy to get time to yourselves when you have 4 kids though and i know al and i are trying to work out how to have a life without the girls but its just to hard without reliable baby sitters and the every dayness of life!
You two need to go and make use of the tickets you have for sydney! You know i will have some kids for you and Kim will help out too, she would love to have the kids for a weekend I'm sure. If you want to talk, you have my numbers! Even if you dont want to talk - go for the text option!

Tracey - Did you get any work done today? WHat exactly do you do with foxtel? Tuesday i will probably get there about 11ish- have toris 2yo check first thing. Nicky will be coming too, but not getting there till closer to 12.
Shall we all just bring some bits and pieces to nibble on??

Kristie - glad to hear your office party went well! Did anyone book any from it?

Where is Kirsty and Guss? Has anyone heard anything of them lately? I might try to do a search and see if she has been on BB at all lately?

[deancey]

Nikki you are certainly having a busy day sounds like fun. Sorry to hear you are feeling a little down about your relationship. I am sure you both just need some alone time. Like CIndy said, make the most of your sydney tickets and get some baby sitters organised.
Oh hope Harry doesnt have the chicken pox as you dont want that spreading thru out the family.

Cindy 11 sounds fine. If you want to bring some nibblies that would be nice. I will get some food for the kids to eat. I did get some work done today LOL. I work in the damages,quotes and surveys section of foxtel. Its pretty interesting and you get yelled at a fair bit but I am used to it

Jamie has taken the 3 kids to the park as Kristen is taking their photos for her portfolio I think. She is starting a child photography business. She is quite good too.

BBQ for tea tonight again. YUMMY sausage in bread will go down a treat.
Take care

[nicole mckay]

[Kirsty EW]

Hi guys,
I am sorry I've been silent for so long. We have had computer issues. Finally got the problem identified which meant we had to get a new one. It's up and running now. Feel like I'm back in the land of the computer world again now. Yipppeeee!

We're all good. Gussy's being such a darling these days. I love him sooo much! he ha! He is really well and thriving at the moment. He has finally hit 9kg. He was 9010g on Friday! So still a light weight! Unfortunately he is still not eating or drinking, so remains fully tube fed.

Big news for me is that I'm pregnant! Only 7 1/2 weeks at this stage. Due 26 June. I've had a couple of miscarriages this year, so here's hoping this bubba is a sticky. True to past form I've been bleeding like there's no tomorrow since 4 1/2 weeks so have had a couple of ultrasounds already. The baby's heart beat seems nice and strong but there was evidence of a lot more blood still trapped in my uterus visible on the ultrasounds. Aghhhh so can't get to excited.

We had a couple of weeks holiday in far north queensland at a place called Oak Beach (north of Cairns). Was sensational. Only prob was that I was bleeding while we were there and so couldn't go swimming. Stooopid body! Still had loads of fun though.

Please forgive me for a shortish post. I am super tired right now with the usual dramas of the overnight tube feeding/vomits etc coupled with the regular first trimester stuff. So not a lot of energy or brain power left over. Have sooo much reading to do to catch up on all your goings on over the past few weeks. Will try to get to that over the next few days.

K xx

[deancey]

Kirsty congrats on the pregnancy and hope this one is a sticky one. Sounds like you had a great holiday, its so nice to get away. GO GUS on reaching the 9 kilo mark.

Nikki No probs about giving tuesday a miss if Harry is sick. Are you taking him to docs? Its good though the rest of the family shouldnt get it though. I couldnt imagine a house with chicken pox. Hope Grant has a nice night at the bucks party.

Krisite Glad I inspired you to take a holiday phillip island is nice and taking a bigger group does it make it easier on the wallet and also means you have some baby sitters if you and Michael want to go out for a while on your own.

Well this weekend hasnt been bad. The kids have been really well behaved. Cara the 2 yr old got upset last nught at bed time and cried for mum and dad. We ended up giving her her dummy, even though they were trying to wean her as she was so upset. The older 2 have been really good. Jamie has just taken the 3 of them to the park as Jordan is still asleep.
We also had a friend visit this morning with her 2 kids so house was mad. We had the wading pool set up so the kids were all wet and sandy. It was good fun.

Cant wait for idol tonight. I love it at the end as all the singers are great. I want the chick to win ( her name has escaped me)
Take care
