Babies Born September 1st ~ 15th 2008 #3

Thanks eej, I think I am done crying now. Nothin I can do about it now then hey.

Oooh I'm annoyed, LOL I'm never happy :rolleyes:, but I got a 6 pack of itti bitti's last week, washed them a couple of times and yesterday Bella wore one of them for I think the second time, it kept bunching up and wasn't smooth over her butt. I washed it last night and then took it out of the dryer and it's ruined, sounds all crunchy like a plastic bag :wall:. The worst part is, I ordered some more last night cause they have 10% off and I'm really not happy if they're just all gunna end up like this - poo poo

Not much else going on round here. No teeth, a bit of rolling around and heaps of yelling and screeching - Bella has really found her voice now, not so good at 5.30am.

Off to put little poop back to bed for a nap. Hope everyone is ok, kinda qt round here.
Have a great weekend.

Hi girls. I keep popping in here to update but never seem to get around to it. Not that there is much to update on. Life is plodding along.

After all her fuss about rolling over Molly has decided that she doesn't want to do it anymore. DH was a little worried and I said to him that we know she can do it now she is just choosing not to do it.

Last weekend we took Molly out to lunch at the bistro and she had fun watching all the people. :redface: It was the first time that we had eaten out in a place other than a food court since before Molly was born.:redface:

Yesterday was Molly's first trip to the beach. She wasn't real fussed about it but we had a nice day. We had lunch at the pub, then a walk along the pier before she had a nap under atree in the park.

We started Molly on solids and she is not to fussed on it. lol she will eat stewed apple and pear but turns her nose up at anything else. I gave her a piece of avacado out of my sandwich the other day and the face she pulled was like I was giving her poison :rolleyes:. The thing was it was on her tongue for all of 3 seconds before it was hanging off her lip and her performance lasted about 3 minutes. Was enough for a lady of the older generation (not what I was calling her under my breath) to give me a lecture on the feeding habits of young babies.

LOL Indie how funny is the poison face! I get it all the time. Poo to that lady sticking her nose in...why do ppl feel they have to do that.

Sue- That sucks about your itti! I haven't tried any of those yet. I have ordered some cushie tushies to try. Can;t wiat they look so cute. I'm obsessed with baby legs now I'm into cloth. I love them!!!

It is very quiet in here. Life must be busy! Not for me, We just got the car back so now I can get out again. I have the interview for my job on Tuesday. I won't go back to work until June but maybe I'll get the higher pay til then I don't know? I had to go and get something to wear, none of my work clothes fit me, they are just a bit on the small side
I've lost 5.2 kgs now but I need another few kgs and they would fit but not enough time to loose that before the interview so I had to go out and buy something new. Which is annoying cause hopefully I'll keep losing weight and then they will be too big...can't win but I guess its a good problem to have

Hi everyone

Erin, I had the clothes problem yesterday. I had to go to an open day at the school I want the girls to go to, and I had nothing to wear but jeans. I'm sure all my clothes have shrunk:redface:.

Donna, Ashlyn did the same thing with the rolling. Started doing it and then stopped for ages. She's just started again. Still no sign of crawling though.

Sue, why don't you contact the itti bitti people and see if you can find out what happened to the nappies. Hope you can work it out, I'd have been pretty peeved to. We like going to Sizzler too, not good for the diet though, lol.

Nothing to much going on here. I think Ashlyn is getting another tooth. She absolutely loves her swimming, I think it is when she smiles the most. Just wish I could get a little more sleep, between Ashlyn waking and Danielle trying bedtime without a nappy I'm really not getting much.

Hope your all having a good weekend. :D

Hi everyone,
yeah I think we're all getting quieter because the bubs are getting more mobile!
Went out today and was drooling over alot of the 'Jack & Milly' winter clothes at Myer and dreaming of what I will buy the kids when I win Lotto! :p
Also got Bella some Dora the Explorer undies as we're toilet training. Honestly she is a Dora freak.She can spot the face from a mile away and will scream out "Dora!"
I'm cutting back on the Dora items but I thought the Dora undies would be an encouragement to go to the toilet.
Emme has started watching me talking and has been purposefully babbling. And her first 'official' word has been "Mum"!!!! She has been repeating it without prompting, and she says it when she either wants me, or sees me!!! I am in heaven. :lol::lol:
A whole lot of teeth are sitting near the surface so I a expecting a few to break through together. My whole face has been gummed out. She particularly likes noses!:lol:
My house really felt like a home on Thursday when I got my lounge as itmade the room feel homey, and my butt was happy as I don't have to sit on a wooden dining chair, or my wooden floor.
Indie, it always drives me insane when people feel it is their right to comment on how a mother brings up their children. As long as there is no abuse going on, and a child is happy, everyone has the right to bring up their child as they see fit. Children are not carbon copies of each other, and each child has the right to be treated as individually as their parents see fit. Anyway off my high horse now!:rolleyes:
Happiness to all!
Natalie, Bella & Emme!

Donna - Molly so sounds like Arabella, she has rolled a couple of times and now nothing. DF told me that his DD did nothing whatsoever and then at 9 months she just got up and starting walking :o. Our house isn't too baby proof atm, am working on it though.

eej - Yep so peeved about the itty bitty. I sent an e-mail asking for a replacement cause they have a 6 month replacement g'tee. I have a cushie tooshie coming to me as well, the retro spotty one. Out of all of my nappies I think I would definately say the magicall minky's are my fav - IB's take aaaaages to dry.

Captain - sent an e-m to IB, lets hope I get it replaced. We have had our local sizzler renovated and it's so lovely, the food even had a makeover I think cause I wasn't really a fan of sizzler before. Funny that you say about it not being good for the diet, I just ate what i wanted there one night and lost .4kg the next morning LOL, I don't eat all my points so the weight loss has slowed for me. Had a fair bit of stress lately but am getting back on the diet wagon on monday, I haven't put on but I haven't lost either - so far 4.5kgs.

Nat - Oh yes, how lovely are the winter clothes. I should start getting some warmer gear cause i can feel the mornings are getting a little fresh and Arabellas arm are like iceblocks when she wakes. Yay for the new lounge, bet you felt like sleeping on it when you got it.

hi everyone!! i love reading what you're all up to. Liberty is really on the move now. Nothing is sacred anymore haha. The other day she crawled over to my parent's dog and yanked at its hair, I had to dive in between her and the dog so it bit me instead. Its quite a placid dog but not when its hair's being pulled out!! She also managed to get over to the ironing board when I was trying to get her food ready and pulled at the legs of it nearly pulling the iron onto her!! It's happened so fast so now we're frantically trying to baby-proof and train my brother and sister not to leave hot drinks around, etc.

One of my nappies went crunchy too, not sure why. Its a very old cushie tushie, probably needs retiring but I'm going to take it apart and redo the elastic and everything to revive it again. I have one itti bitti and I love it - great fit, super soft and no leaks yet. It does take a while to dry but nothing like what a fitted takes to dry!! I have a twinkle lily fitted that takes over 2 days to dry in the sun!! So don't worry about your other ittis, I'm sure it you just had bad luck with the first lot. Cushie Tushies are still my favourites though as Liberty is such a heavy wetter - although I don't have much luck with the quilted cotton outer ones. Eej did you find an army print one??

I bought some nappies from b4b once that took 3 weeks to arrive and it was supposed to be express post. The lady sent me some extras for free though. Another lot I bought off a forum took a few weeks to post too and that was supposed to be express. I suppose because its not like ebay and people don't worry about getting negative feedback?? Some people are so generous though and pop in extras which I love to get!!

Has anyone had any luck with chloes toes? I bought some that leak and I'm not sure if they were just made crappily. I wish in a way I'd just stuck to the one kind of nappies because now when I wash its like putting together a giant puzzle trying to find which booster fits what, I'm starting to like pocket nappies to so its sorting boosters from stuffers as well!!

Oh and are the Brissy girls in here on the southside? Near garden city by any chances? I'd love to meet up sometime. I took Liberty to the pet store today at Garden City as they have really tame dogs there that walk around the store and she loved it!!

Lauren I did get a pink camo one from buy for baby a green kids one but I don't really like it. Do you want it? I'd be happy to send it up to you. I won't use it. Cushie tushies are doing one too. So i've ordered one of them.

eej I usually email them on the site. Or take their name and email them on the other forums if you get no reply. Often you can work out who they are from their B4B name. What was the name? Yes we use amber necklaces here and I love them!!

Sue that isn't right :( I don't dry mine in the drier so it might be why they are doing that?? Are they sewn in or snap in? If they are snaps you might be better drying them infront of the drier while the inners are in the drier. Email Sue though, as they have a 6 month warrenty. I love ittis... they make up a large chunk of my stash! Never had that problem here :(

Oh Lauren!! HOw lucky that you saved her from the iron ... that is scary. I am having to watch Ash like a hawk too, he gets into EVERYTHING.

Well here... its been hectic!! With Jaidan starting school and trying to get Chase to his playgroups etc I haven't had time to do much of anything. I went to Launceston this weekend gone to stay with a friend and he was playing playstation on the ground and Ash crawled over, grabbed him by his top and pulled himself up! He did it before but this time he did it so fast. I am scared what the next couple of months will bring.

He is super cranky atm so better go :( Hope your all well!

Morning all. I decided to have a nap with bella this morning and got woken by the postie knocking on the door with fluffy mail, yay. thank the lord that df wasn't around LOL.
Still no teeth here and definately no crawling, just the odd roll - when I'm not looking of course.

MM - the IB's are the sewn in ones, I've got it sussed now, I wash them a 6am and hang them in a different place so they get a good couple of hours in the sun and they're dry by around 4pm. Have enough now in my stash so I am not washing twice a day which is a relief. e-mailed IB, but haven't heard back yet, also have another order with them and haven't heard back that they've been sent either, oh wells, Mel's came to me in lighting speed, gotta luv her. Where in Tas do you live, if I aint being too nosey?


eej - Ooooh how luffly are the cushie tushies, I am love with the london mod squad one and the pink camo - man I need to curb the nappy shopping spree's, specially since Bella is my last bub.

Lauren - Yay to Liberty, what a fantastic effort to be crawling. My crunchy nappy is only brand new, so not so happy bout that. I am Brissie northside but sometimes venture over that side of town, ooooh tempting to go to garden city :redface:

K, off to wash the floors, oh my exciting life.

Hi girls , I 'm not even going to attempt personals :wall:sorry!!!
I really don't know what's wrong with me, I feel so unmotivated all the time at the moment, and angry, sad ,stressed I really wnat to make the most of my kids only little once etc but.... I just feel so disorganized. I started to lose weight and was going really well until the fires and about the same time Lucy's mum got sick and she was'nt around to motivate at body trnsformation challenge, well now I think I have nearly put back on everything I lost, which is so damn annoying. I'm not really sure how I am going to do this, I could find time in the evenings but all I want to do is sit and chill out , not go walking:doh:
On a brighter note Poppy started soilds Sunday, just farex but is sleeping through again. Yay!!!!!!!!! she is still just rolling back to tummy and has to be helped back, I need to clean up a ladybug sit in thingy, but lacking the motivation. That would help the whinging thing I'm sure. Also got to get the jolly jumper up. She weighs 7.8kgs and is 73cm? nearly big enough to turn her seat around. Have started to wrap her with one arm out, which is working well, she now sucks her thumb to sleep. She's due for her next imms, but it's DS birthday party this weekend so I'II wait until next week JIC shes miserable.

Very envious about all this nappy talk they sound like so much fun, but tank water and washing nappies just does'nt add up, plus last baby as well.

Erin and Kerry I missed the met up bit but it's great you are going to get to, I would love to catch up with you gals, plus others here on BB.

Must go tradie just turned up to measure up a shower screen for our new bathroom.

Pam, don't fret darl. It's prolly not the right time to diet and clean. You sound like me about 2 months ago. DF would just nag me bout my weight and the house, not that yr DH would nag you, but I was just out of it and I'm usually the most organised person out. I just couldn't give a stuff what my house looked like or what we ate for tea. I was basically a zombie and just attended to everyone's needs cept my own. Then something just snapped and I needed to get the weight off and needed to have my house back to organised and sparkling again. You'll get there mate xx

ASF, sooooo peeved off. I was off to spotlight today to buy an overlocker, course they didn't have the one I wanted, but anyhows, driving down the highway and lights were flashing all over the dash of my car and then the car just lost power and would only let me do about 75 - totally freaked and pulled over to the side and called the dealer, have to take it into the city in the morning, aaahh great, just what I want, a day in the stoopid city. The car ooohparently has a safety thingy where if something is wrong it won't let the car do over 75, I love the car, but geezus, I'm still working out how to use the wipers :rolleyes:.

Ok, off my soapbox now ;)

Well Molly had her injections today and she did really well. Only cried a little. I am glad the next ones aren't for a while.
We are off to mum's house next week. She lives in Morwell so its a nice drive from here. I am looking forward to it. Apparently my dad has gone shopping with mum for presents for Molly.

Oh pam its so hard! I think weight loss just has to happen at the right time and it can take a few goes. I am finding my patience with Emily is wearing thin. Its really worrying me. I keep getting told she is jsut about the perfect baby but with me she has taken to squealing at the top of her lungs (so loud)and won't stay stil on the change table and won't sleep in her cot without the snuggle bed in it and it is all really bothering me. Only small things but when its just me and her all day everyday it gets old fast! I'm worried I'm going to snap. I see my psych on fri so will make sure I tell her.

pam wow your little girl has grown so much!! liberty is 7.3kg and 66cm. So frustrating that i have to wait another 700g to turn around the car seat. I'd put avocado in all her baby food to fatten her up but she hates it. Mind you she does love my icecream, i let her have a little taste test a few times when she was whingy and now whenever she sees me eating ice cream out of the container (as you do) she cries for it and reaches out for it :wall:

eej i'd love to buy the pink camo one off you. pm me your paypal details. how did you find out that CT were going to do one too?? you seem to be in the know with a lot of nappy stuff now :P

agh i hear you all about weight loss. i had no motivation to go for walks yesterday, ate crap loads of chocolate and i feel so guilty now. i've probably put on a kg or 2 in the last week. oh dear. my parents place just has loads of junk food around and because we never had that at our place its so tempting to eat crap all the time just because its there and because i feel like it and ... ok well i don't really need an excuse, i just want to binge. i'm going to try and be better today.

liberty's been waking up ALL night the past few nights. i'm feeling at my wits end with it. not sure if i need to feed her more solids? unless its banana she doesn't usually eat more then twice a day. she still breastfeeds two hourly in the day time. and i don't even want to know how often at night. i took the clock out of my room because it was too depressing. i'm pretty sure that she's waking up because DH is in the room with us and they both sleep so loudly, sighing loudly with every turn or exaggerated yawning - gees i'm in a whinging mood. i think i need to be sleeping rather then typing whilst she's sleeping!!

Nicambhar - *sigh* another northsider haha. just joking. what are you planning on making with your overlocker?? i can't wait until we move again so i can unpack my sewing machine. busting for some sewing therapy!! you have to check out the birdie mobile project if you're into sewing. its so easy and cute!

i hope those who are feeling a little under the weather with all this whinging feel better soon - sending big hugs to you all!!

Lauren I don't want any money for it. It didn't cost me very much and I'm not going to use it so its better off going to a good home. PM me your address and I'll post it to you. I found the CT one on their website. Yes I love cloth now!

hugs EEJ. I know what you mean. I don't feel like I am going to snap but I get over it very fast...

Well Ashton has his 6 month check up next week. I am excited actually to see how much he has grown and where he sits on the developmental side. He is getting into EVERYTHING. I need to get a baby gate. I left him in the loungeroom for 2 minutes today while I turned the oven off and got a drink and he was in the bathroom playing with the door stopper lol

He is pulling up on everything now< i have to be sooooo careful. He pulled up on his car today and fell and banged his head hard :( Poor trhing. He is teething again too... drowning in dribble!

Hello strangers!!!!

I have to admit it, i dont even get a chance to lurk anymore. I pop onto face book and msn very quickly durign the day but not for any great length.

Glad to see all the beautiful babies are doing so well!
Nathan is a little champ, starting to cruise furniture and crawling up a storm!!
Finally my big boy (blake) asked to cuddle nathan, he sat on the couch and put his arms out and said CAAADDDDLE? it was so beautiful.
We are still not on solids, still just boobie boobie boobie :) Its beautiful. So happy.
Will probably give it a go when he shows more signs.
