lol no way Ash is going into a bed until he can escape his cot. I like having him restrained and I tried a bed a month or so ago and it was a nightmare!
Ash is teething too, all of his molars and eye teeth have popped through so he's been a bit unsettled at night and spent the last 2 nights in my bed.

Hi gilrs added a new pic of Tilly and Poppy in the bath with me, advert the eyes if you see a big fat roll!!!!!It belongs to me....

Indie I would put her in a bed DS went into his at 1year old and never looked back, we did have to put a gate on his room to keep him in there when he realized he could leave at anytime

Mel not long to go now, so exciting.

Hope everyone else is well..

oh Pam you're not on my friends list

no not long to go now. Can't wait until he decides to arrive. WAY over the pain and feeling very sorry for myself, and the boys. It's hard on them because I can't do a lot. Jaidan said to me "I can't wait until you have Elijah so you can come watch me play soccer again" :'(

Oh Kerry I feel your pain. We do get the odd night but more often than not she ends up in the spare room with dh.

**ezymay** · May 12th, 2010, 10:39 PM

So Donna what have you decided with the bed? It's a tough one!!

I am cranky with my body. After I stopped expressing fulltime my cylce came back fairly regularly. Now in the last couple of months it's started going haywire! AF is late now by ages (not pg!!). I'm ovulating much later too like at day 19- 20. Trust it to start when we are thinking about another baby maybe. I just don't know what's going on!

**ezymay** · June 14th, 2010, 04:15 PM

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

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.

**Captain** · June 15th, 2010, 12:53 PM

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.

**blackduckies** · June 16th, 2010, 05:37 PM

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!!!

**Niamh75** · July 15th, 2010, 09:50 PM

no no no Niamh! sustainablehempproducts beautiful soft bamboo velour lushies! I love them so much!

Thanks Mel Im having a look, Im thinking Im going to make lots for this bub FX, Baby gowns, a linner for my pram, blankets etc save some money! Im looking forward to it now

Hello! Congratulations, Niamh! Fabulous news! Hope there will be a couple more announcements soon (not from me although if I were ten-fifteen years younger and in a sound relationship the story'd be different, you betcha!)
Sorry haven't been around much. Fulltime teaching and Matthew being sick for what felt like a month, a computer hard drive that died and a week in Canberra are my excuses

I've had news of a transfer so looks like I'll be set to teach in Bungendore next year. No idea how I'm going to be able to afford to live there though! Rents are $400-500 for a house or you can buy a shoebox in the housing estate next to the village for $500,000.

But at least DS will be able to spend more time with his father. It was so cute hearing him say Daddy, Daddy and watching the effect of that while we were in Canberra this past week.
Great to hear things are going well for you, Pam. Hope you've had a chance to rest over the school holidays!
Very sad about your sister, Erin. How heartbreaking.

OOH exciteing whos next then from our ol group

will you have to move futher out from work to find a house to rent, 400 to 500 when your the main earner is high all right

did you have a good trip

thanks for the congrats Im delighted and feel really lucky as well.

Not looking forward to insulin injections again, but they are worth it for the end result!

**blackduckies** · July 18th, 2010, 02:23 PM

Niamh wow amazing, jaw dropping, fabulous news, congrats!!!!

Ezy soo sorry about your sister I can only imagine the pain she is feeling.

Mel sounds like you going well, I am rarely on here now..not keen on the new BB??? lose my posts on a regular basis and still finding my way around.

Kerry...where are you moving to??? Is it the A.C.T.?? I am really happy for you that Matthew got to spend time with his daddy, hopefully it encourages daddy to be a bit more involved. I will get onto sedning you things back, I have stopped pumping but we are still feeding, then comping so it certainly helped heaps.

We are doing well Tilly has had her kidney tested for function..and we have found out there is definately none..best news about that is no surgery require, but we need to adjust to a more healthy lifestyle to keep her good one well and not working overtime, so far touch wood she does'nt have other problems assicoated with it eg high blood pressure and UTI's..anyway off now to have a quick look around, someone is near there due date and I don't want to miss the annoucement.

**Niamh75** · July 18th, 2010, 06:10 PM

Pam thanks LOL it is a bit! number 5 for me now whoo hoo
Glad to hear Tilly is doing well and she is ok how Poppy

**ezymay** · July 14th, 2010, 11:25 AM

Oh Niamh that's lovely news congrats!!!

**ezymay** · July 14th, 2010, 10:23 PM

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.

**indie24** · July 14th, 2010, 10:26 PM

I read that thread Ezy. So very sad for your sister.

hugs to you and your family

**Visitor8** · July 14th, 2010, 11:10 PM

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
