Babies Born October - December 2005 #18

Hi!

Wow...it's quite in here! We're all off to the dr's today...kids still have horrible coughs and I'm getting a referral for a scan hopefully!!!

Michael and I are off to the Comedy Gala tonight so am very excited for that!!

Hope you're all well!

thanks Nikki and Kristie for the TT hints. Yesterday was a feral day, he only went once in the potty and the rest of the time on the floor and he even pood in the bath (he has never done that before). Today however we have done well. We got 1st wee in the potty and before I went to shops I ask him if he needed to go he said YES and he DID OMG I was so proud. I ended up leaving him at my GF whilst I went to the shops and he was wet when I got back. He then had 3 more accidents before we got one 1 wee in the potty. 3 out of 7 aint bad.:) I tried to get him to go before his nap but he didnt. So will make sure I sit him down when he gets up.
NO more work for me for 2 1/2 weeks OMG thats heaven.

Hope you are enjoying the nice weather ( a little too hot at times) I am loving it. Cant wait to get away.

Hi!

Tracey - yeah at being off work!! Woohoo!

Well..had my dr's appt and have booked in for my scan - can't get in until the 1st april though! Grrrr! Never mind...Kids are on antibiotics for their coughs...poor little munchkins..neither of them want to go to sleep this afternoon though...little buggers

kristie that is less than 2 weeks away,baby will have some time to grow and that way you can atleast see something and also they wont send you home saying it is too ealy to detect a heart beat etc so it is probably for the best.
tracey...:clap:

Well can I start my bragging..... only 1 accident this morning. :clap:
Jordan did such a good job of using the potty this morning. He is so funny when he pees standing up. Had to aim his doodle for him though :lol:
We stayed home from playgroup so we can concentrate on using potty. We have had 4 solid days of undies so far ( except for sleeps ) and we will just continue from now on, there is no turning back now.
I am going to get some pullups from Aldi ( 24 for $16.00 ) they are so much cheaper than huggies. I thought we would use these on the plane and when we are out in QLD where an accident could be awkward.
I think most of the time we will be in bathers anyway so that will be good.

Krisite I hope the boys get better soon. The 1st of april will be here before you know it.

Hi!

We've had a super lazy day today...Dylans been cling being so sick and I didn't get to bed until 1am this morning after going to the comedy festival gala last night (which was great!) Made some shortbread and Louis cut them out with cookie cutters that are easter shapes - so he was happy with that! We're going to make some little bunny choccies tomorrow!

I mentioned how I'm taking my niece and nephew to geelong adventure park on Mond...well - my sister of course is trying to back out of it now and I said it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to go because we'll take 2 cars and take them ourselves but she's being a cow and basically said - she wants to take them and for them to have fun but doesn't want to go either...I don't know if that makes sense - in other words she'd rather them miss out completely than it be me that takes them...I told her I don't want to let them down and that they're soo looking forward to it and she just goes - you won't be the ones letting them down...wtf?? So she doesn't care that the miss out..anyway - I'm really pi**ed off about the whole situation and I think I'm just going to call her on Sunday and tell her that we're coming down to get the kids and they can sleep at our house that night and we'll head off in the morning...
Who would have thought that you would have so much drama trying to do something nice for your niece and nephew! I said to her it's like the show - I've offered to take them heaps of times and she always says I'll go too and then backs out so I just don't want to happen again - I said that to her today and she just goes - the shows crap, waste of money - but it's not for kids!!! GRRRR! It's so hard to get her kids excited over anything because they either know it will never happen or she's so negative that all the fun's taken out of it anyway...

Ok..vent over...sorry...just had to get it all out though!!! LOL!

Nikki - I know...I'm just impatient!! LOL! I was hoping to get in next week while Michael's on holidays...

Tracey - Yeah Jordan! Thanks...I hope so too - its certainly lingering and getting medicine into Dylans a nightmare!! (Louis loves it for some bizaare reason...)

I'm so wrecked I don't think I"m going to do anything tonight...I've got the love my way dvd here so may watch a couple of episodes...haven't had a lazy night like that in forever!! hehe. Dh is out as well so perfect timing to claim the tv...

Chat later!

shhh dont tell Milo he's good looking, he already has a big head. I called him gorgeous one day, and now every time we are in the bathroom he looks in the mirror and says ' Milo gorgeous!' lol

oh Kristie that's sad for your niece and nephew :(
We have got my brother and his DF coming over for lunch on Monday I think.

Yeah on Jordan's great day Tracey! :dance: :dance:

Milo went to creche with 5 or 6 pairs of undies and lots of changes of clothes today and went through all of them, apparently he gets really excited and goes then, so at least we know what things to look out for.

i have the same problem kristie i am always taking other children out with me and instead of thankyou from there parents there is always some sought of contensious issue.none of them EVER bother to ask my kids out.it is just like they expect me to have there children and never a thanks only a winge of some sought or other.
hey milo your a spunk!!!!!!
if the weather is good we are going to the geelong water front on sunday and then to smorgys for dinner.grant is home today and it feels weird,i am so used to having the kids on my own for the weekends.i feel all out of wack.

Hi!

Had another lazy day - the kids spent the day in pj's! Dylan slept heaps which is good for his cold and they just played...

Rachael - How cute!! Louis always says he's spunky when we put gel in his hair - LOL!
LOL at going through all the changes and undies - I wouldn't be able to keep up with all the washing..hehe. Plenty of time...

Nikki - it just doesn't make any sense...unless they're people that just always talk about doing fun stuff and never do it...I think it's fantastic that you guys do so much with the kids...I'm sure they'll appreciate it when they're older as well!
Sounds like a great Easter Sunday you've got planned - LOL at it feeling strange with Grant home...I hope you enjoy all the time together as a family!!

Chat later!

Kristie - I've so missed out on heaps! Congrats! OMG you must be proud you fantastic mummy you. I can't believe you're going to be a mummy again already :dance: I would have loved to have more.

Missy - Nice belly bump

Tracey - Not long to go now, the months have flown

Cindy - I hope everything starts to work themselves out soon over the moving. Goodluck!

I would like to wish you all a Very Happy Easter!

Hello to all! Seems everyone on here is getting stuck into toliet training. We are too. Benjamin has got very tall and solid and I've had a few mums ask how old he is and when I tell them he's almost 2 and a half they are shocked. Most people think he's older. My friend had her little girl 2 weeks ago this Tuesday. She called her Georgia Paige, I've been giving her loads of cuddles and getting very clucky over her. I've even been able to feed her a bottle. I'd love to be able to go for IVF and try for a playmate for Benjamin, but with finances the way they are, it's not going to happen anytime soon. Oh well...

Melissa

Hi!

Melissa - So good to hear from you!! Thanks!! Congrats on your friend! Yeah at Benjamin tting!! Thats great!
So sorry to hear ivf isn't an option right now...hopefully down the track you may be able to work something out!!!

Happy Easter Everyong!!!

My cousin had a baby on Thursday!
She was 36 weeks but had pre-eclampsia so she delivered a baby girl by c/s
Montana Louise
7lb 8oz, 49cm

She is a little sister to Georgia and Savannah (notice a theme anyone? lol)

I havent seen her yet, hoping to go into have a quick visit tomorrow!

Wow Rachael - congrats to your cousin - Geez - a big baby for 36 weeks!!! Did they have the dates right?? LOL! Glad to hear everything is well though...theme?? what theme?? hehe...

yep, dates right. the last 2 were both about the same gestation and this bubba was the smallest so far.
8-9 lb for girls ad 9-10 boys is pretty average for my family ;)

Hi!

Rachael - Wow.... what a big babies!!! I'd die....hehehe!

Happy Easter everyone!!! I hope you had an amazing day with the kids! Louis was sooo cute this morning finding easter eggs and had to search out in the backyard as well as all around the house - he had a little basked to collect them all in and got a special letter from the easter bunny!

Texted Cindy this morning and the lot of them have got gastro the poor things...what a tough couple of weeks they've had!

And...my sister replied to a message this morning saying - bad news, won't make it tomorrow, too many things to do - so I replied - ok - I'll pick the kids up at 4pm - just to make it clear that I want to take them and she called me and said no they're not going, they've got too much on at the moment and ra ra ra...Kelly's having a b'day party on fri and she said if she has to choose between going tomorrow and the party she'll choose the party - I mean wtf??? Of course she would but why should she have to choose between the two??? then says she's spending too much on them this week (she just bought kelly a lcd tv for her room because she didn't know what to get her for her 9th b'day??????????!!!!!!!!) so money is definitely not an issue...I was soooo upset. I didn't say anything on the phone though becasue I was too upset to think straight but I texted her later saying I was upset and angry and that there was no good reason for the kids to miss out tomorrow and that they're doing things all the time with other people but they can't with us and it's bulls**t.....
Anyway, I chatted with mum about it and she basically stuck up for sharon because they're thick as thieves at the moment....the rest of the family think they're both nuts....
Anyway...so what do I do now?? Never try and arrange anything for the kids because it just won't happen anyway?? I do feel soo bad though because it's like they got their hopes up and it's all been crushed for them - Kelly especially was looking forward to it so much because she loves the boys....
I'm so sorry for the huuugggeee vent but I'm really cross (hormones prob aren't helping at the moment - LOL)
I don't even want to talk to her anymore but as it's kelly's b'day next week I'll go up and visit her but I still don't want to talk to my sister....

Chat later!

happy easter everyone,i hope you all had a lovely day,wasnt this year a little more exciting for the toddlers,chantelle was scared going to bed because she knew the easter bunny was coming,she bounced out of bed and was just amazed to see that he did infact come.
we went to the water front today and i took 2 of james friends.was a wonderful day but grant couldnt come cos poor harry is RELLY sick with a very nasty case of tonsilitis,he has been sick since friday and has been running a fever for 2 days now.he just wants to be cuddled and sleep all the time.
grant has to work tomorrow.
i went to a play center in keilor with the girls from tweedle on friday,it was really good to see them again and 1 has had a nother baby,he was so little and new,they have all had success with there children sleeping since we left tweedle 7 months ago.i think it is lovely that we have all remained in contact.
anyway off to bed i am buggered was abig day,
nikki

cindy,i hope you are ok,i miss you heaps and i hope that things have settled down a bit for you guys since the move.remember that it will be tough for a little while but look at the bigger picture at the end,it will all be worth it babe.
melissa it is always nice to hear from you,i do hope that your dream to continue a family will come true for you.
harry is starting to pick up a bit but still very unwell.

Oh I totally forgot, we went to the Aquarium on Saturday with my brother, his DF and her nephew, to see Henry, Dorothy and Captain Feathersword.
The boys had a great time! They got along really well too which was goo, and they kept the people ont he train there an back very entertained! Especially when Milo stood on the chair cos he was 'rockin out' LOL
The shoes were really good, expect that it meant we hardly got to see much of the regular aquarium..at least I didnt have to pay for Milo.

Cindy hope all is going well with the move.
We got a ll on Saturday that our paperwork is all finalised for the house, so we went down to pick it up. We need to go over the electrical plan/layout and the other changes we've made to ensure its all documented correctly and then sign off. Im a bit confused about a few things, like it says we have to have finance organised before signing the contract, only banks dont approve loans without seeing the contract etc first, so I am assuming they mean pre-approval which we have already. The land is still not titled either so waiting on that.

Nikki, that's no good about the kids being unwell.
Neil has been off colour - he is supposed to have regular b12 shots as his body doesnt store its own, but he never gets tham so that combined with his thyroid meds running out last week and him still not making an appt to see his doctor means he's a bit grumpier than normal and generally feeling lousy.

Kristie, that sux about your sister. really, I could understand if they had a different hting on every day and she thought it was taking too much out of them, being a long drive, but one thing on monday and one of Friday? mmmm. dont start me on the telly...though I would consider letting Milo have one when he is older, but not connected to the aerial so he can watch DVDs that we let him but not have the telly on..

Melissa, thanks for the Easter wishes, I hope your family had a great Easter, and I too hope your dreams of a bigger family can come true for you sooner than you expect.

Hi guys!
Gee its quiet in here!

Rachael - I hope the plans etc are all as you envisioned! How cute is that little boy of yours entertaining everyone!

Well not much to say for me other than my life seems to be about tupperware at the moment - I'm really busy but for some reason not making any money at the moment! I have had to buy to many things for my kit lately and its only going to continue with the new catalogue coming out in may!

My hours at work are changing too, I now work 2 days a week (tuesdays and thursdays) so if everyone is free on wednesdays to catch up lets organise one! We are still planning one having a party of some kind for chacha on the 13th of april - with a cake for dylan too, will be at a park, not sure which one yet though, need to sus a few out! THere is a nice one in boronia but we have to check if it has BBQS and or undercover areas! Its actually where al and i were looking at for our wedding!
OUr house building plans are still waiting on the money from the estate agents to clear and then we can go and talk to the banks!

We had a really crappy easter (literally) with everyone sick and tori had to come home early from child care yesterday too coz she threw up which was just great!

Anyway- i better go, i will check in on you all later and fill you in more on my boring life! Actually not so boring lastnight though - went to the pub after work and had a few to many!

oh Cindy sorry that easter was crappy. :(
I am already booked up on the 13th (in Boronia would you believe) what time would it be at as I might be able to do both?

Plans look good, although the house is set back nearly half a meter further than we were hoping to get it. So I figure once the five years is up and we can have a high fence, we might put a tall one at the front and have it as a living space as well, maybe a coutyard or something.

Hi from QLD everyone. The weather is gorgeous and we are having an awesome time. We went to dream world yesterday and Jordan loved wiggles world. All he hastalked about today is going on the tea cups and the big red car ride. He is too cute. TT is also going well. We bought some pull ups for when we are not sure if we can get him to a toilet however most of the time he has been in undies and we have only had a handful of accidents.

CIndy sorry to hear you were sick over easter, hope you are all feeling better soon. I am free wednesdays to catch up so name the date.

Rachel glad to see the house plans look good. Sounds as though its all coming along nicely.

Nikki hope Harry is feeling better. It is nice you have been able to keep in touch with the people you met from tweedle.

Krisite hope you are well and not suffering too much MS. Your scan is not too far away. Hope the boys enjoyed easter.

Take care everyone. hopefully will get online again before we come home.

Hi!

We're up at Bonnie Doon at the moment! Kids have had a ball running around outside and Dylan just seems to have grown up even more in last week or so!
Louis has all of a sudden having accidents with his tt which is a bit strange...I don't know if he's just too excited being up here or what...never mind...

Nikki - Sounds like you all had a great Easter! I'm sorry to hear Harry's been so sick - I hope he's on the mend! Glad you had a nice catch up with your tweedle friends!

Rachael - Wow - sounds like you had a great time at the aquarium!! Hope you get your papers and stuff sorted for your house without too much drama! Geez - I hope Neil gets to the dr soon...can't be nice to feel so awful (or for you to have to put up with him - LOL!!!)
Yeah...I'm not unreasonable, if the kids were just crazy tired or something I wouldn't care...anyway...I haven't spoken to her since...We'll see what happens when I head up next week...

Cindy - Wow - thats great tupperwares busy for you! Do they ever give you products for your kit or is it discounted for you?? Seems horrible to have to spend so much of your profits on new stock...
Wow at working two days a week - you must be so busy with everything! Wednesday aren't that great for me - Louis has his toddler kinder thing in the mornings...I suppose afternoon would be ok!
We're still coming to Charlottes b'day but we may be late...not sure what time your doing it but we have a christening in the morning. What time were you planning it?? Would be very nice to have a cake for Dylan..I'll organise something!
Sorry to hear the kids have been so sick..hope they're on the mend now...

Tracey - So glad you're having a great time!!! Yeah on Jordan doing so well with TT!
Yeah have been feeling fairly ordinary...seem to be over the really bad nausea and now just can't stop eating...the last 2 weeks I've put on soo much weight already - it's disgusting! LOL! God help me by the end of this p/g! Yep - I'm very excited for Tuesday...I just hope everything's ok...

Hope you all enjoy your weekends! Chat later!
