kristie,i hear ya on the dummy,chantelle has just moved up to the kinder room at creche and they have been encouraging her to sleep without her dummy and i belive they have had some success.
im not proud to say it but c is going into the residential sleep program again next month with me for a week.i am going to use this time to get rid of her dummy also.we r still having huge dramas with her at night and grant cant cope with it anymore,she targets him every night.i already know what to do to break her naughty night time habits but dont think it will be fun for anyone else in the house to have to hear her crying at night,plus i need the support as i am a sook and give in too easily.
we just came back from kmart,we went down and bought the new wiggles dvd and a baby pool,poor harry fell out of the trolley straight onto his head while i was paying for our items,he has a huge egg and bruising,i had a freaking heart attack.he was upset for quit some time.i gave him some nurofen and did some obs,he is asleep now but i will be watching him closely.
james has gone to the show today and has a list of showbags to bring home for the other kids,they r going to be sooooooooooooo excited.
ok i have a question,i have decided that i would like to do a kids birthday party for c.she wants to do it at the waves pool here in melton but i can only do it on a week day.they set up the toddler pool with lots of toys and a lady goes in with them and they play games and have a dico in there with hi 5 songs and wiggles songs etc and is fully catered..she has been invited to so many bday parties from her friends at crech so i thought it would be nice to invite them to hers but i want as many of u guys to come also cos i think they would love it.i was hoping for monday the 13th or wednesday the 15th oct.r any of u free for either of those days.
we spent the day installing new lights over the kitchen bench and in the pool area,they look fab.
tracey im glad the party went well,omg 5 am i would die,how did the kids go with all the noise were they able to sleep.

Nikki - you poor thing witht the sleeping being such a stess for everyone!
We still have dramas with tori but have resigned ourselves to that just being her -we usually end up with one or the other in bed with us at some stage of the night!
I can ot do the 13th - i have MCHN appts for both the girls that day, sounds like qa gret set up though!
We had a great weekend - got the back yard tidies up again - went to bunnings and bought some plants and goreous pots for inside next to the fire.
today though we are having dramas with our washing machine not working at all - it was just a cheap one so we have decided to get a new one but geepers - when does the spending end? We are going to have to work out a budget soon! WE have NEVER lived by a budget but we are geting really bad with spending at the moment so i think its time to slow it down a bit! Tighten those purse strigs as the saying goes!

can u do the monday the 13th cindy?
-
Nikki, How's Harry man? I hope he is ok. Jack did that to me when he was Harry's age and I had a heart attack too!!
I'm free for monday the 13th... What time would it be approx?? Does sound like a great idea luv...
Rach, thanks for a nice night on Sat...It is lovely stuff isn't it!! And sorry I kept you up so late chatting..next time just tell me to shut up!
Cindy, no wonder you're in the garden lately..with all this nice weather!
Trace, so glad to hear the party was a success!! And I hope you caught up on your sleep too!!
We'll prob be at Liam's christening on Sun, depending on how much packing we've done!!hehehe..but I'll def let u know on Sat ok..
Kris, good luck with the dummy..I'm going to get rid of Jack's too when we get back from QLD..

Hi!
Nikki - What a bugger you're still having sleep dramas...sounds like a good idea to do the sleep program again...
Ouch - poor Harry, I hope he's ok! Louis fell out of the toddler seat of the pram once and that was awful...
Yeah at showbags - my mums going to the show with her new boyfriend tomorrow (Gosh - makes them sound like they're 16 not 60!) and so I'm getting her to get a few for me as well...Ethans going to give them one each when he arrives and the other I'll use for stocking fillers...I hope James had fun - the weather was shocking today!
I'm pretty sure I would be free for those dates but I'll just have to play it by ear a bit...I'm finding it more of a challenge taking the boys out at the moment and the pools would be full on I'm sure...Just walking around the shops today I had heaps of sharp pains on my cervix and braxton hicks...I can't believe how early it's all started this time around...It sounds like lots of fun though!
Cindy - Yeah at working in the backyard! Bugger about your washing machine though...Budgets are never fun but necessary sometimes...
Alex - How exciting getting ready for your holiday!
Well, we had a great but busy day...I forgot it was school holidays and the shops were soooo busy! They had Angelica from rugrats there and the boys were so excited! She came over and shook Louis hand and played peek a boo with them and they were laughing...she was very cheeky to other people too which was quite amusing.
We looked everywhere for In the night garden toys for Louis but all the shops seem to have sold out so he hasn't redeemed his dummy yet BUT....
HE WENT TO SLEEP WITHOUT HIS DUMMY! OMG!!!!!
I nearly died...it got to bed time and I just said maybe he'd like to try without his dummy and if he couldn't get to sleep he could come and get it...10min went by, 20min, 30min - he hasn't woken up yet! Maybe it won't be so easy tomorrow but I just nearly died that I didn't even have a battle - no tears, nothing! and he's so addicted to it at the moment, well more in the mornings I have to remind him to take it out cos he's awake now and not asleep...Anyway, I'm very proud of him...I might have to take him to the abc shop on Wed to see if they have anything...
As for me...I'm off to bed...I have bad sciatic pain and my back is killing let alone this cheeky bubs headbutting my cervix...he gives me heartburn overnight cos he floats up higher but if I spend much time walking around he must drop right down low...
The packing is not helping and Michael is doing extra trips each night so I'm doing the bath and bed thing to...it's just the lifting of everything that gets me...
Ok...I"m rambling now...sweet dreams everyone!
-
OH, i just saw how bad my speed typing was earlier- no i cant do the monday sorry!
-
Morning!
Well, Louis slept through the whole night without his dummy! Woohoo! Although he woke up at 6am but stayed in bed for another 30min and then went to watch some tv so not too bad...
A day of packing for us ahead...
Cindy - Love the madagascar stuff - can't wait!
Chat later!
-
Alex - Happy belated birthday wishes to Jack...:clap:
Nikki - That's sounds like a great setup at the pool for a birthday party. I'd love to do something like that for Benjamin's birthday. None of them offer that sort of thing here though.
Anyhow, we've got my sister's 21st birthday this week with the party on the wk/end with the family. The following wk/end on saturday the 4th of October it will be Benjamin's
3rd birthday.

Hi Guys
well as some of you know I passed my entrance test to the nursing course, now I have to sit oral test session on the 9th oct ( i got the date wrong before ). I am excited but wish it was earlier as this process seems to be dragging, I just want to know whether I will be getting in or not.
Kristie Yeah on Louis sleeping without the dummy thats an awesome step.
Melissa sounds as though you have a few busy weekends Cant beleive Benjamin will be 3 in 2 weeks.
Cindy I hope you find the practice test good. I know I did.
Alex I would love for you guys to make it sunday but understand if you cant so dont stress to much.
OK well i am off to get ready for all saints. take care everyone
-
Hi!
Melissa - Yeah, it's party time! How are you feeling?
Tracey - Congratulations again! Thats so great - I'm sure you'll do fine on the next test as well!
Lots of packing today...got the boys room done so they just have beds in there and a few clothes and mums coming around tomorrow and we're going to pack the kitchen...I'm not officially not doing anything as my sciatic pain is killing me! The boys have been trying with tantrums and Louis is doing so much backchatting...I'm really hoping it's just all the commotion and when we settle into the new house hopefully they will calm down...
Louis has gone to sleep again tonight without his dummy! Woohoo! He mentioned it before bed but I just said it's gone now and changed the subject and he didn't fuss...
Otherwise not much from me...
Chat later!

well grant is on cloud nine,he has finally found the house he wants to renovate,we put an offer in last night that they accepted,it is in melton,he will have to spend a lot of hours and about 30k on it and then we will put it back on the market and make some dollars ,he will just use that money to do the next and the next.so i am pleased for him and say...congrats grant on your new found hobby!!!
-
cool Nikki! i hope it goes well & he makes some $$ on it!
Kristie sorry about the sciatica, i hope it stops for you soon. I;ve had it once, but not while pg, i fell to the ground quite suddenly, crossing the road in the city! very embarrassing!
Melissa sounds busy busy busy at your place, all these birthdays and things! I hope Benjamin has a great 3rd birthday!
Tracey I'm still hoping to come on Sunday, it will depend a bit on how much moving and things we have got left to do cos I'm aiming to be all moved out by Sunday night.
Well not much news here, feeling queasy. I got a letter in the mail today with my appts for the pg, it hink they're ve booked me in tot he wrong program so Im going to have to ring them again tomorrow to confirm (for the third time!) that they have put me down for the caseload program.

Hi!
Louis got his pressie today for his dummy - he chose the figurines from In the night garden and a book and the boys have been playing all afternoon with them...very cute and perfect timing to keep them occupied while I've been busy! Got heaps packed - our room done and most of the kitchen - which mum mostly did...
I had my chiro appt today and while my lower back and neck feel great unfortunately there's nothing much she can do for my sciatica...I'm sure it's just that bubs is head down that it's causing so much pressure...I'm finished packing for the night now as it's absolutely killing me...I've obviously been lifting too much stuff but there's not much I can do about that at the moment...
Nikki - Yeah on Grant starting his new hobby!
Rachael - Omg at falling over with it once...how scary! Hope you get the midwife stuff sorted. Bugger at feeling queasy...Hope it doesn't get any worse for you!
Chat later!

Kristie thats awesome Louis had gotten rid of his dummy well done. Try and take is easy even though its easier said than done I am sure.
Cindy Did you do those practice tests? I hope you find them helpful, I sure did.
Well still no results in the mail, I want to know my score, I am getting might impatient. I just found out I wont know if I have gotten a place till late nov early dec, seems ages away. So better think of other things I guess.
My brothers wife was induced today, last I heard she was in 2nd stage labour at around 7 so we will see what happens. I should be going to visit my neice or nephew tomorrow night after work. They are naming bubs either Edward or Sophie.
Off to bed for a day at work tomorrow.

Hi!
We're all moved! Well...there's crap everywhere and I can't unpack much because the house needs a good clean...it was left quite dirty...
The people left quite a bit of stuff here including a swing set, outside table and patio heater (don't know if it works yet!)
We got out of our house on time but settlement was meant to be at 12pm and we got the call at 12.30 saying the comm bank didn't turn up and they had a big drama and luckily rescheduled to 2.30pm...didn't end up being too much of a hassle, just time wasted, we got the keys around 3pm...
The kids had a super late night but have gone to sleep without too much of a hassle so hopefully they sleep ok in their new bedroom!
It's so exciting having our new place! I haven't hardly been in half of it as it's so much bigger! I'm sure it won't take me to long to get used to though!
Tracey - Gosh it's hard having to wait so long for your results! Ooh how exciting have a new bubs in the family! How did she go?
Heading to bed soon! Going to have a big day tomorrow trying to get stuff sorted out and I desperately have to do food shopping as we have none! LOL! Chat later!
-
Krisite congrats on the move going relativly smoothly and bonus on the swing set, table and patio heater, thats is they are in good working order that is.
Well I am an aunty :) Sophie was born last night via c section as labour didnt progress I would say. My brother is so vague with all the details so I am assuming she wasnt dialating. I am going to see her tonight as I have to work all day today. I asked mum for a photo but she hasnt answered her mobile ARGH why have one if you dont answer it. So frustrating.
We are getting ready for christening tomorrow, all food bought so now just have to clean the house again for everyone to come over.
Better do some work I Guess
-

Hi!
Had a great day! Mum pretty much cleaned the whole house and we got it all tidy and everything in it's place. We still have a garage full of stuff but we're just going to unpack a box at a time now. it's making it a bit hard though cos I don't have much kitchen stuff yet!
Was beautiful weather and I was able to really start getting excited about the house and enjoy it! The kids got puffed running around the lounge and family room! LOL!
Tracey - Yeah on the arrival of your niece! Hope you got some nice cuddles! I hope you enjoy your day tomorrow - sorry I can't be there!
Nikki - Glad you had a great day! LOL at being hungover - I hope you pull up ok tomorrow!
Cindy - Hope your enjo party goes well tomorrow! Did you get my email order? Give me a call if you need to while the ladies there and I'll book a party!
Ok...better go and unpack a bit more stuff before I fall into bed...
