Babies Born October - December 2005 #18

[m1tbull]

Nikki - Congrats on the steps Harry!

Kristie - How's things going?

Kristy - Hmmm... One of the schools I went to had a sports house called Tulloch and we were the colour blue. I thought the name was pretty original. I like your thinking though and everyone elses here on the names. But nothing truly beats looking at a child and just knowing what name will suit him or her. Being names you don't often hear around it makes it that much more unique. Personally I'd pick TJ - Tulloch Jude, but you are going to be the parent of the darling child and you ultimately have the final say in the matter of names for him. Why not discuss with your belly on the names and see what the dear little mite thinks of the names. You'd be surprised. See which one he reacts to the most and then go with the feeling. Good Luck!

Tracey - I'm just glad that there is no outright bully at playgroup where we go. I thought that Benjamin would put his weight in there for sure, but they are a pretty good bunch of kids. I hope the big kid at yours settles down.

Our dear little boy decided that he'd get up at 2AM this morning OMG! He finally crashed again at 4:30am in the car as I had to drive his daddy to work this morning because his lift forgot to tell him he was not going because he was getting a new car. Anyhow, I had trouble getting him up when it was time for him to go to daycare and me to work. But getting him dressed while he was half a sleep just seemed so funny. They do strange things when they are half asleep...

Melissa OMG 2am I feel so sorry for you. I thought 4.30am the other day with Jordan was bad. Hope you got a nanna nap in that afternoon to make up for it.

Cindy OMG cant beleive its Charlottes bday next month, time is going way to quickly nowadays. Hope you enjoyed spending the money on things even if you didnt need them. Its nice to be able to do that when you have extra cash to spend.

Nikki Hope the auction goes well for you and that your block sells for you. I have no idea how we are going to arrange a meet up we are all so busy.

Krisite Hope you are well and had a nice weekend.

Well started a little nesting I think this morning. Got the mr sheen out which i NEVER do and went crazy. We also cleaned up the backyard which was nice.
Jordan is surprising me every day with new words etc. He is now starting to copy the words we say so I am happy that he is progressing with his speach.
He is also 1 more wees in the potty this morning which was good. Only a trickle but something which is a start. Lets hope we can get it all under control in the next 11 weeks...... prob wishful thinking.
Liam seems to be getting to big for my belly now and I want it to grow so he has more room. SOmetimes it feels asthough he is coming out of my skin. I am getting way to many comments on how BIG I am and its beginning to annoy me. I havent put on a lot of weight at all so its all baby I guess. I cant help how quick it grows. I wish people would just keep their comments to themselves sometimes.

Hope you all had a great weekend

tracey i loved hearing that i was getting big,the only problem was that evryone always told me i was too small.didnt bother me though i just loved hearing any comment cos it just confirmed that i was pregnant and everyone knew it too.it is a special time and it goes too quickly so just enjoy every bit of it while it is happening
we were going to go to puffing billy today to see thomas and all the fun stuff that goes with the day but we all slept in,we ended up going to the geelong water front.WOW what a beautiful place and such a great place for kids,the babies road on the carosel,then they went on a thomas train that went all aroung the water front,we whatched a helicopter take off and land right in front of us and a sea plane also.then we went to a great big park and played there for ages,then the big boys went swimming in an enclosed part of the beach that had pontoons and diving boards,the babies swam in the chlorinated pool which was right next to the beach and all of this was within a 5 minute walk from each other,we broused through the markets and lookes at all the beautiful water front restaurants,i highly recommend it and we will be going back in the next coupkle of weeks to do it all again before it gets cooler.it is a fantastic day that can cost nothing.
harry has spots all over his face and it looks very unusaul,they are not any where else and im not sure what it could be.i took the boys to the dr last week for there rashes and they both had a form of parvo virus but this is different again.
i have been having alot of pain near my left hip for the past 2 years and decided to have investigations yesterday.one of the drs i work for sent me off to have xray of my spine,hip and pelvis and an us on my kidney,im sure it is nothing serious but get the results tomorrow.
we have decided we might like to buy a caravan so we can go camping with the kids and travel.i am going to start doing some homework on it tomorrow.we have decided the kids are growing far too quickly and we want to try and savor every free moment we can with them doing memorable things.
james is a teenager at the end of this month.OMG.
i have bought him and corey and there cousin tickets to go to crusty demons at calder park.
ok that all for now.

[cindyb]

Wow nikki -sounds like you had a great day!
I love it down there - i took the girls there with a friend a few months ago and tori had a ball! I keep meaning to take al there coz i think he would really like it, it never seems to happen though! Maybe next weekend if we arent to stressed about packing etc?
We moved some of our furniture to my freinds house yesterday and its just so bloody hard with the girls, we are getting no help from my family at all lately, we live to far away aparently! I could be back in bloody QLD!! I cant wait for te move to be just done! I should be packing right now but i have no energy lately, i think my chronic fatigue is coming back! It went away with my pregnancies but this is the longest i HAVENT been pregnant in about 4 years now!!
Ok, i will check in again later i am off to playgroug this morning - we havent been for a few weeks so i need the catch up with the girls! I will be taking some Body shop catalogues with me too!!! HOpefully people buy up and or book parties!

[nicole mckay]

[cindyb]

[Krisvee]

Hi!

We had a huge weekend!!! A big run around on Friday everywhere and a party Fri night which went really well! Saturday I visited my sisters new house - which is just awesome - so beautiful with no expense spared!! and then off to mothers group which was great for a catch up - but it meant we'd been out all day and the kids were sooo tired! Sunday we went to the Play school concert just up the road which the kids loved - it was nice that it was on a Sunday so Michael could come to and then off to see my Dad as he's back from the Phillipines! It was just go go go - so today I'm still in my pj's! LOL!!! I'm having the laziest day and the house is a pigsty and the kids are mostly occupying themselves but I just really feel like I need to just chill out and waste a day away!

And...

I think we have a bit of a solution for our housing dramas. After doing a lot of research I think we may actually end up renting a house (Cindy - looks like we're reversing roles!!) It just seems like the best thing for us to do...I won't go into it all but I think we'll be better of financially in the long run with the way the interest rates are etc and I've put a plan in place which means that we'll be saving as well so we'll be getting ahead even though we'll be renting which would eventually mean buying land and building at Bonnie Doon without a mortgage!!! And the biggest thing for us is that we won't be under pressure with a high mortgage and no money - so we'll still be able to keep the lifestyle we have now....Anyway...we shall see how it all goes. I'm very excited though as it means we may be able to move a little bit sooner...

Oh and only just noticed yesterday that Louis has 1 of his 2 year old molars through finally!!! whoops...it's a half way through and I didn't even notice - LOL!

Tracey - thats great that Jordans going to sleep well - makes life a bit easier! Hope the tt going well! Bugger everyones commenting on your tummy - big hugs - try not to let it get to you - your doing an amazing job of growing a baby in there and you have no control over it!!!

Cindy - hope the packings going well! Wow - I can't believe our babies will be 1 next month! OMG! Charlottes b'day is locked in! Good for you going shopping - we all need it sometimes!! Bugger you're not getting much help from your family...mine's very much like that as well so I've just come not rely on them!! LOL! It can be frustrating though...Ooh I hope your not getting cf that would be awful...ooh good luck at playgroup - hope everyones keen!! LOL!

Ok everyone - how about the Friday 11th April then???

NIkki - Sounds like you had an amazing day!! I promised my niece and nephew that I'd take them to the Geelong adventure park thing in the school holiday so maybe will make it to the waterfront as well???? Might be too much to do in 1 day...Hope Harry's ok - Louis ended up with spots once after being in the pools..they were even on this inside of his mouth but the dr wasn't worries..hopefully it's nothing serious. Hope your results are all ok with your pains...
Sounds like a great idea to do stuff with the kids - wow on nearly having a teenager! Thats huge! They'll love Crusty - we were going to go but it's Michael's b'day that weekend and he's racing...

Melissa - Omg - 2am??? I'd die...I so don't cope well when that kind of thing happens - LOL!!! I need my sleep!

Rachael - Where are you??? Hope you and Milo are well!!

Ok - I really better go and have a shower...I'm sooo lazy! hehehe.

[Missy]

Hi all

Wow its been heaps since ive been here. Sorry havent as ive had so much going on in my life at the moment.

We are all doing well. Callum is growing up so fast and Melissa is 14 now. Can you believe it. 14. Omgosh she is a young lady now. Very nice and im loving watching her grow up.

Im also having another baby as you can tell by my ticker. My son Liam Matthew will be born some time in July.

So after doing IVF for a while we are finally here.

I hope your all well and ill try and keep in touch more often.

Take care and talk soon.

[cindyb]

congratulations!!!! thats 2 Liams in here now coz tracey is having one too!!! I hope your preg has been an uneventful one so far!

i will bbl! got to go dress chacha after her bath!!!

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Missy - Wow - congratulations - how exciting!! So good to hear from you! I'm glad your all well!

Not much from me...Kids had swimming and I've just come back from food shopping after my lazy day yesterday - which I now regret as everything is on top of me...Got Dylan a gorgeous big soft easter bunny and Louis some choccies for an easter hunt out in the back yard!!! I'm getting very excited!!

Chat later!

[Pandora]

oooh Missy a boy! Thats so exciting!

I was getting Milo ready for bed tonight and he said 'teeth sore' then 'brush teeth' so we went in to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and I looked at them and the front one is chipped!! OMG it wasnt like that yesterday! There was no blood or anything and I have no idea when it happend or what to do.
Its not a huge chip but probably 3 or so mm wide and 1 or 2 high.

I dont know what to do! Cindy - any ideas? Should I take him to the dentist? I dont think they can do anything and its a baby tooth, but I kind of want to make sure? I'm worried hte inside part of the tooth might be exposed or something?

[nicole mckay]

missy so lovely to hear from you.are you and melissa still working together,how is callum,conratualtions on your new little liam.
racheal i would get his tooth checked just to make sure that the chip is not going to cut his tounge and maybe they can file it to make it smooth,i dont know i am not a dentist but i still think it wise to have it looked at.
i have decided to take the kids to moomba.last year we went and the fire works were cancelled due to high winds so we will try again this year.i want them to see the parade also as we have never seen that either.
nikki

[cindyb]

Rachael - better to get it check out for sure! Sounds like its nothing to serious but sometimes - depending on the angle the tooth was knocked for it to chip, it can put pressure on their adult teeth underneath! Probably a good idea to get it xrayed to make sure this hasnt happened - also sometimes the nerve can be affected in the long run so again its a good idea to get that xray so another can be done in 6-12months time and the 2 can be compared!

Nikki- moomba sounds hectic with the kids - when is it? When are you having your hip looked at?

Kristie- have you decided you are definately going to rent? Have you started looking around? - can you post me some more catalogues? The girls from playgroup have taken them and i wil take the last one to work tomorrow but i have a few friends who want to have a look too - oh and the tupperware girls!

Tracey - that stuff is in the post for you!

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Rachael - Ooh poor Milo!!! I wonder how it happened?? Hope it's' nothing you have to worry about...

Nikki - Moomba sounds great!! I've never been...we're heading into the city on Sat night for a b'day party so we might walk down maybe??? I don't think I'll stress about taking the kids this year...

Cindy - It's not definite yet but with another interest rate hike seems to be the way we'll go. We're not in a big rush - we have to finish the bathroom and paint this place before we put it on the market...I've had a bit of a browse on the internet...seems like we'll just get a normal place - we're looking at only spending $300 p/w so then we can save $200 p/w at the same time...each way I've calculated it we'll be better off financially in the long run (that's with $50k in the bank to start with...) Well - the way the economy is at the moment anyway - if the market changes around in a few years we'll be in a great position to buy anyway as we'll have the money in the bank!!! No worries - I'll get them in the mail to you tomorrow!! How many more do you think you'll need?

Chat later...

[Missy]

Hi all

Thanks for the kind words.

Nicole no Melissa has left and has just got a job at Gloria Jeans coffee shop and her training starts next week. She is so excited and im so proud of her. As that was her first inverview ( as I was with her for the vid shop) and they rang her back straight away.

BBL as have to get ready for work

[Pandora]

argh!

i cant get Milo in to see the nice dentist until 27th March - that's 3 weeks away!
Is that too long to leave it? I really would prefer this dentist as I have no experience with any of the local ones, but I dont want to leave it too long either.
The chip is smaller than I thought but its so noticable as its on the inner side of his front tooth, and I'm worried he might cut his tongue on it or something, if its sharp (doesnt lookto be)

oh sorry for going on and on but I'm thinking about it all the time!

[deancey]

Rachel I would be worrying too. I would call local dentist just to see if they have anything earlier. Are you able to rub it with your finger to see if its sharp edged, then you will know if he can cut his tongue mouth with it.

Krisite I hope you get on top of the housework, its a never ending battle isnt it. LOL at getting excited over easter and egg hunt. Thats such a good idea, we might do that this year here aswell.

CIndy Thanks for posting the stuff for me. Hope the packing is going ok and you are able to rest up aswell. How is climbing Charlotte going? Are you TT TOri at the moment?

Missy so nice to hear from you and congrats on the new bubs in the tum. Liam is a gorgeous name (biaised as that is what we are calling our new son due in May). Well done on Melissa getting a job, wow 14 already time has flown. What is little Callum up to? Are you TT yet?

Nikki Moomba sounds good hope you have a good time, when is it? Will def be at the book party. I think I have something on that night so wont be able to hang around for too long but would love to catch up and see whats on offer.

Well Jordan did a proper full wees in the potty before his nap today. He did spray a fair bit on the floor as he pulled his doodle out of the potty (typical man, cant leave it alone ) He was so proud and loved tipping it in the toilet. He even wanted to sit on the actual toilet. I think its starting to register now so hears hoping.
Tried on my bathers today and lucky I did. WIll need some new board shorts as mine are quite tight and will be even tighter in just over 2 weeks time. Gonna go to DFO prob on the weekend and see what I can find.
Its our 4 yr wedding anniversary tomorrow so we are off to Donovans for dinner, Mum and dad are looking after Jordan so will be a nice night out. The food is very posh so no idea what I am going to eat though. Jamie got a voucher from work for $150 so we can eat up big......might see if they do mocktails YUMMY
Have a great day peoples

Hi!

Had the worst morning this morning..nothing major but lots of little things that meant we were half an hour late for kinder...af must be on it's way cos I felt like crying and thats the only time that usually happens! LOL!

Missy - Wow - how great she's got a job - can you work when you're 14?? I thought you had to be 15!!

Rachael - Geez - 3 weeks away! Thats a long time! Yeah - maybe try somewhere local just to get it checked over quicker...

Tracey - Ooh Donovans has the best food!! We had our wedding reception there!! (prob why we only had 20 people at our wedding! LOL) It's expensive and posho but very edible if that makes sense!! You'll have to have their chips if they still have them - they're like mini roast potatoes and are just soo yummy!! Ooh we might have to go back for our anniversary in May I think!
Yeah on Jordan doing wee's in the potty! Louis gets it everywhere too sometimes!!
Good luck finding some boardies!!

Better get some washing done and some babies down for a nap I think...neither of them seem tired for it yet though....hmmm...

Chat later!
