Babies born September 1st-15th 2008 #4

Helloooooooooooooooooooooo

Its been a while! but im still alove *just*

been super busy, the kids are driving me mental. but have put the eldest in kindy, and the youngest is at home with me. every day.. all day..
still not sleeping through, we are night weaning at the moment. 3 - 4 breast feeds a night is too hard on me now.
Im nto getting to bed until 2am because i am so busy with work, then up a few times with him it does my head in.

hes talking heaps. can count to 10, sing twinkle twinkle from start to finish and knows most colours.

hes so going to be a doctor or something LOL!

Hey everyone! Quiet in here so though I'd bump it to see how everyone was!!

We're doing great here! Ash loves loves loves his baby brother. It's so cute! I was so worried he'd be super jealous but I had nothing to worry about! He wont leave him alone LOL

School holidays here, they go back tomorrow thank goodness. Oh that sounds horrible but I am very exhausted at the moment so will be looking forward to the break!!

Glad everything is going well Mel! Saw ur pics on fb the boys all look smitten with their baby brother.

We are good Em is talking heaps!!! She is a little parrot and that unfortunately means she comes out with the F word from time to time. Terrible I know!! She had settled into FDC well. DH and I are thinking it's time for another one so we'll see how that goes ;)
Hope everyone else is well. I think of you all often.

I thought it was about time to update on what my Moo is up to.
Mel I saw the pics of your new little man on FB too and he is sooo cute!! You have kicked my cluckiness into overdrive.
Ez- Moo comes out with some choice words too. Lucky for me that DH can't understand most of them but I know she is saying them.

The decision about putting Moo in a bed was taken out of my hands. She absolutely refuses to sleep in her cot so she is currently sleeping on a single bed mattress on the floor. You have to sit with her but at least she isn't screaming hysterically in her cot. We went and got some manchester for her bed. I had gotten her a Wiggles doona cover for her birthday so that is on her mattress on the floor. When I put it on she dragged everyone in the room several times to show them the Wiggles (my brother is currently lilving in our spare room).
Today DH was looking after Moo while I went to the shops. He said that she disappeared and when he went to look where she was, he found her asleep in her bed :D

ooooh good luck with the baby making Ezy! That's so exciting!!

Donna that is so cute! Ashton will tell me 'bed' if he's tired, but he's still in a cot. Once I get the boys their bunks and move them into the front room I'll be taking the side of Ashtons cot. He attempted to climb out the other day but I busted him and growled and he hasn't tried since.

Mel, Congratulations on the birth of Elijah. That's great that Ashton is adjusting well. Hope you can get plenty of rest while the boys are at school.
Donna, I have a friend who had the same problems with her DD and the cot. Much happier in a big bed.
Ez, hopefully we'll be hearing an annoucement from you soon!!
Kerry, hope Matthew is all better.

Ashlyn is starting to talk heaps as well. No choice words yet, but she quite happily chases the puppy around yelling 'Nooo" and "Naughty!" I'm not planning on putting her in a big bed yet. She doesn't seem to fussed about trying to get out of the cot so I wont change just yet. Though I can't wait to decorate her room. Would love another bub, but not so sure I'm going to be able to convince DH. Will have to wait and see.

Hi girls sickness is stalking us, just colds and er MAN FLU!!! Its's very annoying especially that Tilly keeps getting it.
Mel great to hear things are going so well, I hear you on the rest..our school hols are about to start..that will be a rest fro me, we spend so much time in the car..I am always waking Tilly up to go and get someone.

Ezy.. hope to hera an annoucement soon :) very exciting..also very glad its not ME!!!!

Donna; when are you coming down this way..I was thinking we should meet at Maccas in Traralgon they have a little under 3 kiddies playground and Poppy had a great time there the other day..I have all your little clothes boxed up ready to go . Sounds liek you are really working on another bubs as well, wishing you the very best of luck.

Hi Captain, keep working on DH its hard to let go of the desire for another little one especially when you are young.

Hi Kerry hope all is well... still pumping here and getting a bit, thanks for all your help. Hope everyone else is doing well, I am so busy and don't have enough time for anything spreading myself very thin, oh well!!! It willbe easier next year with DS and DD both at school and jsut 2 littles ones at home, won't know myself!!!

Hey every one, how are you all doing :)

Mel your pictures on FB are so cute your so blessed with such gorgeous boys around you.

Pam how are you doing hun, I was thinking about you today :)

I have some news, Ive just found out Im nearly 5 weeks pregnant :o delighted but a little shocked feeling tired and a bit sick hope all goes well now eek! NO mention on FB please ;) just in case

Eireann has weaned as well in the last 6 to 7 weeks it was a very slow process I didn't rush her at all we just went with the flow, she has adjusted really well and is so cheeky and cute.
Dh said love you and I siad to him love you too and she tried to say Love you too after him as well in her baby talk of course.

boys are deffo slower to talk than Girls but I think it depends on if they are around a lot of adults or brothers and sisters that can make a difference but some are slower to talk than others and that's OK they all do it in their own time:)

Nic are you still about haven't seen you on FB in a while :)

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! Congratulations!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mel Im in delighted shock LOL see my facbook page my spelling is gone to pot LOL head is clearly in the clouds hehehe

OMG that is wonderful news Niamh. Send me some of that water :)

Oh Niamh that's lovely news congrats!!!

Thanks girls :grouphug:

indie are you TCC, you should try taking MACA if you are :D it works great on your hormones and DH added benefit it increases your libido, my cycles have been mad all over the place so I was taking it to help regulate them and but a bit of a zing in my step LOL I got a zing and a bit more I bargained for.:D


Mel you use cloth nappies, are they good, I'm thinking I might use them this time to save some money, but I was wondering are they water proof and poo proof to a certain amount LOL I know disposables are not Eireann is always leaking :doh: I am thinking I may have a go making them my self I found a pattern on line. wondering are they worth it. I love your ones and I'm hoping they help prevent nappy rash poor Eireann always seem to be getting one so annoying.

Yeah we are TTC. Up to about 8 months. What is MACA? Is it available here?

Yes what is MACA? I'd be interested too! I start with my trainer next week I'm hoping shifting a few kgs will help the ttc process. It's very new to me. We weren't trying with Em.
On sadder news (have posted in the boo hoo thread) it seems my sister has lost her baby after 3.5 years ttc :( at 8 weeks so so sad for her.

I read that thread Ezy. So very sad for your sister. :hug: hugs to you and your family

Aww hugs Ezy :( Your poor sister :( How terribly sad :(

Niamh yes I love the cloth nappies.

For a newborn, go Lushies from "Sustainable Hemp Products" with a PUL cover (Tots Bots flexi wrap are good) for maxiumum pootainment ;)

Medium petites (from Baby Beehinds) from a couple of months until they grow out of them :) Then onto Larges if you need.

No nappy rash here, though Ash gets it if I put him in disposables :(

MACA is a plant that grows in the Andes the inca took it to help with libido and energy levels, it works on the piturity gland in the brain balancing out hormones it also increase sperm mobility and sperm count in men and increase a woman's fertility. I was taking it as it regulates your cycles my O date was very late and short LP but I was very cramps and spotting a lot as well. PMS was killing me to, not what I was used to at all in my cycles. I have been on it 3 months and DH took it as well for about a month.
I noticed straight away I felt great, more energy and deffo increased my LIBIDO and made BD much more enjoyable, I then noticed less PMS symptoms easier AF and no spotting and this month I OV early! ha I wasn't watching out for that hehehe I have been charting so when I saw that I had an Idea we may have caught the egg.

This is my second time taking MACA I used it after DS2 when I had lingering PND it had gone but I kept noticing I felt really down a few days before AF it worked great then as well. its so worth using it as it is a natural plant that nourishes the body. Oh yea you can buy it off ebay or it could be in the health food shops, I got mine off ebay if you do buy some it comes in powder or tablet form powder is an acquired taste so I went with the capsules 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon it really boast your energy so only take in the evening if you heading out some were.

Ezymay I'm so sorry to hear about your sister that is so sad ((HUGS))) a friend of mine lost her baby after tcc for a long time to MMC she is devastated as well.
