Babies Born September 1st ~ 15th 2008 #2

Somehow I don't think Qantas will let me lie on the floor of the aisle to feed him

I don't know about the bath thing. Ashton is the same and come out time he screams the house down. Never had such a full on water baby.

Xavier doesnt scream when he comes out but he loves his bath and I get soaked from him throwing his arms into the water and him kicking his legs. DD refuses to bath with him now as she hates being splashed LOL

Just a short post as off to DD swimming lesson soon but just to say you have me hooked on the cloth nappies too now. I am a novice I bought a trial pack when xavier was born but when I tried them as a newborn they seemed so big in the osfm so I have waited to use them.

I have bought a coushie couture that feels so soft and I have a couple more orders on their way but cant remember the makes. I have a BBH coming I think that was for a night time nappy. I really should have written it down as I have done loads of reading in the cloth nappy forum.

I hope to be rid of sposies in the next week or so once my supply arrives.

I am thinking of putting my 3.5yr old into them for her bed time pants too anything to save money on sposies and the environment too.

Glad everyone in here from VIC is safe. We lived down there for a while and I spent a NY in marysville and it breaks me to think it no longer exists.

Hope you all have a great day and I will do personals next time. Xavier is also on the move but way to go Ash standing I am not ready for Xavier to get to that point yet! Like I will have a say anyway.

His latest trick is to go in the cot feet to the bottom but when he wakes he is head to the bottom turing a full 360 degrees!

Nae, I've just forwarded you on a text from Pam, saying she's okay. We were worried too, also about you. Glad you are both okay!! How close did the fires get to where you are? And I've emailed you. And I've sent a quick text to Pam.

Hi Nae, so glad to know you are ok. We were worried about both you and Pam. Its so devasting. I made a donation this morning and wish i could give blood, when Emily is 9 months and if i'm not still feeding I'll be straight to the blood bank.

kerry- Can you let us know if Pam gets in touch with you?

Thanks Kerry - Fires didn't come close but the ember attacks were in Drouin only 20km away from us - the winds on Saturday were frighteningly hot and strong and we know that embers can travel huge distances. Saturday night we were still being vigilant because of the lightening we had heaps but nothing else much to report.

Sadly Wilsons Prom was hit by lightening and there is a fire going in there but at this stage its not posing any risks to residential/farming areas.

Sounds like the Churhill fires were deliberately lit - I hope they catch the morons and charge them max penilty for murder for every person who died. Then they can fry them!! Who knows what would happen if word got out who did it! I reckon the arsonists would have an "accident" if locals got hold of them.Its sickening.

Anyway, thankfully the weather is better I just pray we get some decent rain to help the Firies fight we need giant fans to send those rain clouds in QLD down here to vic to dump their rain over the fires.

So glad Pam is ok, Kerry send her my love and best wishes.

Love to all

nae - so glad that your ok. I be crappin myself living so close. take care and I'm for some heavy rain to put them all out.

Kerry - we are still co sleeping. I put the cot into my room to start her sleeping in it but chickened out, I just couldnt do it cause I love having her right next to me. there are just so many mcn's out there it's confusing. I have looked in the mcn threads and its all gaga to me. when r u off to hk?


mm - whoa you must be on yr toes now with ashton getting around so much. bella is still not rolling yet the lazy little sod.


joh - ooh, I was looking at the couture cushies and I love the colours they come in but then I thought it wont matter soon cause she will be covered up for winter anyway.

well, no photos for us today. there was a big power outage and the shopping centre was closed so we have to rebook them.
bella had the crappest night ever last night, the teeth are giving her absolute hell at the mo. I think all up I got about just under 2hrs sleep and am so not used to it cause she is usually a great sleeper even though she still stirs for a feed at about 2am. was a very grumpy mummy today and then with the power out and no air con it didnt help the matter.

just another ?, has anyone at all heard from charlotte, she hasn't been on at all and I just hope that all is well with her.

night all. xx

Hi girls, thanks heaps for the well wishes. Kerry ((((((hugs)))))))thanks for thinking of me and letting the girls know all is well, Nae ((((((hugs lovely)))))) will ring you.

Sorry about the lack of personals, but a few quickies that stood out. Mel, I can't believe it Ashton pulling up to standing!!!! Amazing.... I wonder how soon he will be walking????

Kerry you never know if he is screaming they may just be willing to let you do it lol. Poppy is the same though she pulls an dlooks around if we are sitting and feeding and not happening if we are out and then gets upset if you pack up shop Slightly embrassing have full nipple exposure in the shopping centres.

Sue I have everything crossed for Charlotte and any others in those areas that have been completely wiped. You think how devestating to lose your house, possesions, animals until you see the huge loss of life???? I am not sure where she lived, but I sure hope she and her family are safe.

As far as we go we (me and the kids) left on Saturday it just looked to bad to me...Dh stayed even though I pleaded for him to come, he decided he did'nt want to lose the house to ember attack little realizeing how close the fires came. Just a wind change and we would have gone up. We are completely surronded by trees, in a timber log cabin type house, all timber lined etc. beautifull until you find yourself in this situation. I went to mums which is in the closet town, I tried to ring DH no phone reception and he had no idea that there was none till later...power went out so no radio for updates, no fire pump, no water....pure craziness in my mind especially after you see what happened to others in the same situation. We only got home late last night, when the roads have been opened to residents. Still having flare ups and there is so much bush not burnt, we are still being told to be vigilant and conditions are expected to become dangerous again on the weekend, high temps and wind. Plus a firebug still on the loose...the place was burning down and they were still lighting fires????? 21 peope have died here and over 100 homes have been lost including one entire community!!! We stilll don't have full numbers and won't until roofs get lifted from houses etc. Not to meation livestock, pets, sheds, hay, grass, machinery everything that people need to run farms feed animals etc. We are offering our property up to support a horse or tow and maybe some dogs, we have a few paddocks and a dog run, so hope that someone can make use of them. Anyway keep us in your thoughts especially over the weekend, I think we might need it. Anyone good at a rain dance???
