Shell- fantastic score!!!
Annat- Thats great about the car.... on the pram/sling side of things I just brought a ERGO carrier and its the best... can take up to 20kg i think... maybe it might be a idea
And Guess what MJ is 5mths old today!! Happy 5mths baby girl and that is also 5 mths breast feeding!!
as for some pic of MJ Here and Here
Thanks for the tip about the Ergo's, will have a look at them.
Happy 5mths to MJ!!!
She is so cute Ness, I just love her hair too!
Wow - 5 months have really flown Ness!
AnnaT - Great news on the car.
Shell - I am already in mat pants. Part of the reason is that anything thightish touching my stomach makes me feel sick.
I threw up in the shower last night. The fist chuck of this preg. Oh the joys!!
They are on special some where atm too... $127 incl express post!!! normaly $159 babesinarms. com.au (minus the spaces) on the blue ones though but i didnt care about colour!!
And i think Annika is trying to toilet train... :( she is growing up way to fast. she wont wear a nappy.. so i have brought out a potty and will see how she goes.. im not fussed..
OMG i just have to say this cheater episode i am watching atm is hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!! A guy got them to investigate his wife and girlfriend (they all live together) and they are both cheating on him with another guy :lol:
Hey kiddos! Meg I remember feeling the same, hating any pressure on my belly in early pregnancy.
What is it with In the Night Garden? It's what got Riv into tv. :P He's watching Tellytubbies right now.
Annat, keep in mind that Ergo's need an infant insert to start with. I need to try on someone's Ergo I think, so I can make good comparisons between it and my Pikkolo! Oh, and I loved my Mei Tais and my Pouch in pregnancy, because I could carry a kid on my hip with the pouch, belly no problems, and the MT you can do up over the belly, just carry the kiddo a bit higher. Handy. :P
Ness, how fast are they growing!? Gotta say I like it though, I'm so lazy, it's nice when they become a bit more independant.
Yay on the car Annat and the pram Shell!
How's Jesse Kell? It's worrying when they're sick isn't it.
Speaking of sick, Rans is the only healthy one here, Riv and I are sick too. Blah. I messaged mum with 'are you awake'? at about 9am, and she called back going 'ahhh you too hey?' :P She's bringing soft tissues. At least it's runny mucous, not too hard for Si to give a good snort and he's all clear. :D
River STINKS at the moment...and I really should change his nappy...any moment now...
Great score on the car Anna. Let me know how the kluger goes, that's what we're in the market for.
bummer about you all being sick Nelle. Don't smack me for this, but it's hot up here. We even went swimming in our pool on the weekend!! Hope you all start to feel better soon.
Hopefully the m/s won't get too bad Meg.
b - I hear you on the tt. Nina is going quite well with it, she's telling me when she needs to do a poo now. Just before at the shops I was changing Emily on the change table, and Nina wanted to go to the toilet to do a poo. Unfortunately I couldn't get Emily changed in time so Nina did it in her nappy. But she's real eager to go on the toilet now.
Both girls are sleeping, so I'm off to have a nap myself. My house looks like a bomb has hit it, but who cares.
Bloody hell, look at you all still gabbling on in here!!!
That's so nice to see!!
hey stranger..how are ya chrissyT - hows Paigey doing?
Haha I KNOW Chrissy, can you believe we're up to #105! Can't shut us up! (Although our toddlers are slowing us down!) Have a read back through the thread and catch up on us!
Hi chrissyt!! nice to see you drop in!! How is everything. You cant just drop in and not tell us whats being going on with you guys!!!
Great to see you Chrissy!!
aarrrrggghhhh, I'm soooo tired today. Emily had me up at 4am wanting to play! And I didn't get to sleep till around midnight last night as it was. :wall:
Nina is going really well with tt. She insists on doing poos on the toilet, and everytime she does a wee, she taker her nappy off. I think her being in kindy will help as well. Half of the littlies in their are toilet trained already.
Off to go and have a cup of tea. Supposed to be going to Playgroup this morning, but really couldn't be bothered. I'm too tired and I can't think properly. Plus I'm still in my pj's.
Hi all,
Well it is sunny again in Melbourne! What a bonus, 2 days in a row!
J is no way ready for toilet training. He will sometimes do a wee on the potty. He sits on it and makes lots of Pssss noises, then he is just as likely to wee on the floor.
Anyway he is always a little slower on reaching milestones, so I am not going to push him.
We are off to playgroup this mornings. So should be good.
SIL is returning home to Australia in a week and a half. Can't wait, as she will be living with us for a while. Can do with the extra pair of hands. Also as she has nott seen J since we were in London, she is super keen to look after him.
Oh - almost forgot Shell, it is not slap cheek, it is eczma.
thanks belle for the call last night :hug:
Hey yall..
Well what a horrible past few days in my house.
Jesse and my girlfriend's son both picked up a gastro bug on Friday while we were out at Rouse Hill shops.
At about 8.30pm Saturday Jesse threw up in bed. Put him in the bath. He was freaking out big time as hes never been sick before. Got him out and dressed and he continued to be sick. That went on for about 2 hours. Wouldnt drink anything. Called a help line as i had no idea what to do, hes alway been so well. They suggested taking him to hospital as he was lathargic, pale and wouldnt drink. So called the IL's to look after Keira and went down to hospital around 11pm. Stupid woman on reception.. had to spell Jesse's name to her 3 times in the mean time Jesse was being sick and screaming. Ehh sorry just topped it off. But then were told by a nurse to give him 7mls water which we measured out into a seringe every 10 minutes. He was happy to take that but just wanted more, even though we werent allowed to give any more than that every 10 minutes. He ended up keeping that all down and fell asleep in the pram (while waiting for the doctor) for about half an hour. But then woke as he couldnt get comfortable. There was still several hours wait as there was 3 people on life support that night and the doctors were attending to them.. so we decided to take him home to try and rest at about 2am as he hadnt thrown up for 2 hours. Got home and he was sick again. Was just so lathargic. So pulled out a matress onto the lounge room floor and tried to sleep with him on it. He slept there off and on until about 3.30am when Keira woke for a feed. DH attended to her and i decided to try putting Jesse back in bed. He fell asleep holding my hand my poor little baby. And slept until about 7.30am Sunday. He then had 2 very watery poos around 9am. Continued to wanting to drink lots of water which was good and had a piece of toast with vegemite that morning. Seemed like back to his old self running around and playing etc in certain periods then just tired in others.He then went down for a nap and woke a few hours later. Brought him out and he threw up again 3 times. So decided to call the doctor and just get him checked out. She was great, checked him all over, just said to keep up his fluids (only give small amounts every 10 minutes as the hospital told us), get him some Gastrolyte, which we had and up until then he wouldnt drink it. So went back home. We got him to drink some of that stuff by watering it down at first then he got onto it full strength. Temperature then came on. Gave him some panadol. Took 45 minutes to kick in. But calmed him down alot when it did. He then slept in his bed. Woke at midnight and was whimpering and crying until about 3am Monday out in the lounge room. Then ended up falling asleep and was awake again at 5am doing the same. Was rolling around the lounge room just so upset and so sick. Was taking the gastrolyte but i could only give him the 7mls every 10 minutes and he was asking for more, and was getting upset when i couldnt give it to him. Gave more panadol for the temperature that was still there. He then had the runs and fell asleep eventually around 9ish. Then the same just continued to happen for the rest of the day. He was so so sick. I felt so bad for him there was nothing i could do. DH then got then got the runs. Around 5pm he was throwing up really bad. MIL had been here since she'd been home from work and she then threw up also. Think it was from hearing DH being sick though as she has a week stomack. DH then went to bed. I sent MIL home. And was left to look after Keira and a sick little boy! By this time Jesse was falling asleep again on his little fold out lounge. Keira started playing up so i was in her room trying to settle her so she would disturb Jesse. Settle her and come out to find him playing with his cars! I was shocked. His temperature was completely gone (he'd had it for 24 hours). We sat at the table and drew. He was so wobbly on his feet though. So sad. But he ended up getting tired around 8.30pm and i put him to bed where he slept until 5am this morning.. which was great. He really needed that sleep. I slept on the lounge just hoping i dont get it from DH. Keira fed then at 10pm and didnt wake until 4am this morning for her next feed, which was great also.. i was so buggered and needed the sleep. Jesse today is so much better. He's had 2 runny nappies and is so wobbly still on his feet. He looks so skinny. He lost 1kg in 2 days. But he has eaten 2 arrowroot biscuits through today and is still drinking lots. So i think hes on the road to recovery. Hes asleep in bed atm. DH seems to be getting better.. is just very sore and warn out today.
So far *TOUCH WOOD* Keira and i havent had it and am praying neither of us, especially her, get it. I pray Jesse or her never get it again, but i know theyre kids and they will. That was the worst 3 days of my life seeing Jesse that sick. He was so ill. His eyes were all sunken in and red and glassy and he was white as a ghost. Was so horrible to see my little baby boy like that.
Im going to go make the most of the time both my kids are asleep and try and sleep some myself.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Ill be back to catch up once our house is back in order and everyone is better.
Thanks for all your thoughts :hugs:

PS.. Happy Birthday Helen for the other day!
OK, well where do I start with an update?
Paigey is so much fun and full of life. She talks non stop, sings words to songs and dances like a mad woman! She has just moved from her cot to her big girls bed without toooooo much drama *knock on wood*. She has started indicating when she wants to do a no.2 and will request for her nappy to be off, but doesn't yet use the potty - usually she makes it onto the tiles in the bathroom next to the potty. She is in daycare the 3 days I teach and loves every minute of it. We have all of our teeth except the 2 year old molars and she has been ever so busy growing hair!! It is so long and I am vv. jealous of it all! He eyes are stunning and I am also veeeery jealous of those as well.
Can you believe these kiddos are almost turning 2?? Where has the time gone??
I am still so indecisive as to whether I want another child. We had only planned on the one and life is so easy and cruisy and wonderful that some days I dont remotely feel the urge to go back again...but then I will do a newborn shoot and be all sentimantal. I don't want to confuse being sentimental with cluckiness though.
I reduced my teaching days to 3 this year, as going back full time when Paige was 9 months totally sucked!! So this is the perfect balance.
My photography business is taking off faster than I could ever imagined. I shoot 2 Saturdays a month and school holidays, and I am really busy with it all.
I can see by looking at signatures that some if you have already bought new bundles of joy into the world - CONGRATULATIONS!!
For those of you TTC again - best of luck!!
I will try and not be such a stranger - I just find the new boards a little tricky to navigate!
There are some piccies of Paige in my link and also a big one of her on my blog page which is linked on my site :)

Kell- How awful, glad to hear he is on the mend. Sounds like a really bad bout of gastro, just make sure you wash your hands constantly just to try avoid getting yourself. I can imagine how upset it would've made you, its terrible when they are that sick.
ChrissyT- Great to hear from you. Sounds like everything is going so well and falling intp place. Its great your photography has taken off. You'll have to pop in here more often and keep us updated.
MrsT- Good luck with Alexanders surgery tomor.
Marni- when does Tiana have hers?
Belle- Glad to hear everything is going well, sounds like Julia is a loving big sister.
Its great to hear some are doing well with TT. Ash asks occasionally to sit on toilet but never does anything. But I think at least she knows what it is for and all that. We bypassed potty cause she would just play with it and put things in it as tho it was a toy, don't think she really got it whereas she sees us on the toilet so knows what its for.
chrissy - sounds like things are going really well for you all. I had a look at your photography work, you do a fantastic job.
belle - any time honey :hug: Like I said, it's tough times ahead, but it's all worth it, and it will get easier.
kel - poor Jesse. Glad to hear he is on the mend now, hopefully he doesn't get sick like that again any time soon.
Not much happening today. I had such a lazy day, I felt like an awful mother for not doing anything with Nina. But I just couldn't get the motivation today. She didn't seem to mind though, just did her own thing.
I've booked into the gym as of tomorrow. Eeek! I haven't told Heath about it, I'm going to keep it a secret from him until he starts noticing the difference in him. That way he won't be on my back asking me if I went to the gym today, blah blah blah. Wish me luck! I have about 10kg to go till I'm at my goal weight.
