Babies Born September 2006 #105

morning girls

and nelle...i am finally posting in here, sorry not up to personals atm, but i thank each and everyone of you for you thoughts and kindness during this sad time.

welll where do th f**k do i start??? life is slowely getting back to normal, we had a lovely funeral..if you can call them that, but i think criag would of been wrapped in the way i put it together, the wake was a laugh a minute, i got really pi$$ed, and all his mates ended up back here, for more drinks, and i woke to find one in my bed....farting his arse off, he was so drunk i dont know how he ended up there, but it was funny..my visitors have all left, and im just trying to come to terms of being a single mum, i really miss the male company but. Caitlyn will not sleep in her room anymore and is in my room, and has been walking around for days saying "bye bye daddy", the weird thing is the morning after craig died, Liam started talking constantly, he wasnt doing it the day before, and weather it was just coincidence, or it is rather spoky, but he is alot more alert, its weird. It looks like i have to move out of here as i cant afford to stay, so im trying to get lots of stuff packed, and of course craig being MALE he had jobs unfinished everywhere..his 4wd was in the middle of wrecking, i have that on ebay and i have a bid (thankgod) his motorbike he was in the middle of fixing ..his mate is coming today to put it back together, so i can sell it, it needs to be registered this week, and my god i have a shed full of tools that i have no idea what to do with.........his best freind is coming to stay tonight, we get on so well so i cant wait for him to arrive, he is great( the only one that came up the night he passed away, mind you he lives in sydney, and he just got of a plane from new zealand.....his parents have not as yet rang me, and they didnt attend the wake..im so f**ked off with them.. i have good days and bad ones so im hoping today is a good one, as yeterday was not pleasant....better go liam is screaming..thanks girls

Happy Birthday Ambah!!

Chrissy- good to see you.. Glad you have Craigs mates helping you out



Would you believe i havent even had a chance to play wii!!

:happybirthday: HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY AMBAH!! :happybirthday:

I hope you have a lovely day today sweetie, and an awesome party tomorrow.
Shar, I hope your dad makes a speedy recovery.
Good luck to Talitha!!


So great to hear from you Chrissy. You have such a positve outlook to life, very uplifting. Craig will always be watching you and the kids. Don't ever forget that. :hug:
It's a shame you have to move. After everything you've been through. Hopefully all the stuff sells and you get what you want from it.

Happy birthday Ambah!!! :dance:

Good to hear from you Chrissy :hug:

Jodi, geez a python! I think I would have run the thing over in fright lol I know Jett would have been out there trying to catch it had it been on our drive. He adores the frogs we get here but they do not adore him!
Oh and my god to I adore the Kluger haha The best money we've ever spent I think. Its so fabulous that Ry, a FORD man, is harrassing me about letting HIM drive it til the baby is born. I told him where he could shove his car keys :lol:

ChrissyT, nice to see you again! Paige is just adorable and your photog is awesome!

Ah Maz I certainly hope your psychic lol Funnily enough I had a dream last night that I had the baby on April 1st! Oh well less than 10wks to go til we know if atleast half your prediction is right.

All this talk of Wii Fit makes me want one. I was going to ask for a PS2 so I can Singstar/Guitar Hero my life away but maybe I might change my mind.

Anywho I need to shower and clean up a bit. Im going out to dinner and drinks (non-alcoholic ofcourse) with some girls I met up here. Im looking forward to some adult company without a gaggle of screaming kids along.

Great to hear from you Chrissy. Bum that you have to move! Cute that Liam is talking more. Things must feel so surreal for you. :hug:

Ness! When are you going to try out your Wii then? River pushes me off the Wii Fit board when I'm doing Yoga, I have to wait til he's in bed, otherwise I fall over. He wants to get on - doesn't know what he's doing, he thinks it's fun just to step on it and jump off. :P

Aiee at the python Jodi! They're not dangerous though are they, just creepy?

I'm STILL in bed, Rans and Riv are at the Inlaws for last night, and so I fed Si in here and we haven't moved. My sis is here doing my dishes (she wanted mushrooms for brekky but couldn't eat them herself...she hasn't cooked them yet though...think it'll be more brunch really now won't it).
But I'd better get up...ahhhhh....

I just did it!!

Half an hr on the wii

And omg i am a old fart (40).... (didnt help i had no idea what i was doing though)

so much fun!!!!

Hey enough of the old fart stuff...im almost half way there....:ROFL: WTG though you have to let me know how you feel tomorrow (aches and pains ect)

Happy birthday Ambah honey.....hope you have a fantastic day. OH Sharl did I get the right size? I forgot to ask

BBL

Happy Birthday Ambah - have a wonderful 2nd birthday and congratulations to you Sharleen for being the mum of a beautiful 2 year old. Hope your Dad is recovering fast.

Chrissy - thank you for letting us know how you are going when things are tough for you. I am sorry you have to move out of your home, I hope you find another one that you are happy with. Great all of Craig's mates are supporting you.:hug:

Nelle - still in bed - well done - :clap: I bought the Brauer Insomniac stuff this morning so will let you know how I go.

AnnaT - hope you had an awesome time out in adult company, it helps keep us sane.

Jodi - eeeww to the python - was it found?

Okay hi to everyone else.

BBL
Laurin x

Laurin!! wow 12 weeks to go.Where has the time gone! Your pregnancy has been super quick.
Chrissy,sounds like you have some really good friends around you.I hope you find somewhere nice to settled. Are you staying in the same town or moving to a new area?Perhaps craigs mates can buy his tools or garage sale them for you?
Maz im looking forward to seeing your spring collection! Your monkey is finished. Just got to do his shorts. Was having a bad sewing day with the shorts so left it.lol
No sleep in here! Not even a full nights sleep to be had. Cant remember what a full nights sleep is like.
Im off to the casino with mum tonight. I actually bought a no doz to take because i cant imagine being able to keep awake with out it! Ive never actually taken one so a little worried maybe i shouldnt.?lol

pmsl nelle, still in bed at midday!! Now I remember you telling us you were going to try and be in bed earlier at night, but i've seen you around here at midnight some nights this week. What's that all about?!!

snake not found :( And yeah, a python isn't dangerous, just flippin scary that's all! He's game though, this snake, as there is a dog in every house just about in this street!

Both girls had a cranky day today. So what did I do, left Heath to attend to them and went and had a wax :cryinglaugh:
But a couple of funny moments did happen today.
This morning, Heath had to go out, and said to me 'Nina will need to stay with you, do you think you'll be alright with her' ... and I said 'umm, yeah I think I can handle it, afterall, I do it EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!'
Then this afternoon, we found Nina in the bathroom, with an empty bottle of baby powder. And the rest of it, we found on the hallway floor, in Emily's room, and in Heath's guitar of all places :rolleyes: So I gave her the broom and told her to sweep it up. She even attempted to sweep it up.

ETA: have a good night out tonight caddie.

ha ha Caddie - your taking No Doz to stay awake and I'm taking insomniac spray to get to sleep, I know this pg has flown by, not organised at all. I took No Doz when I was 19 and studying and wanted to stay up all night - felt terrible the next day though and couldn't sleep when I tried to...let me know how you go.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBAH.
Chrissy I am so glad that you could pop in at let us know how you are going. I am sirry that you will need to move.

Jodes - I would $hit myself about the snake. I saw one crossing the road near here last summer about a k from our house and I thought that was bad enough.

Ness - yay on the Wii.

Caddie - Have an awesome time out tonight. You deserve a good night out.

Nelle - I thought I was good to manage to get out of bed at 10am! Dh had done 2 loads of washing plus sorted another load, vaccumed, cleaned the family room and kitchen, and cooked me pancakes by the time I emerged. Hmmmm... I wonder what his motives are....

Shar - Still have MS. Today I walked with DH down to the station as he was heading into the MCG for the footy. Anyway the whole way home I thought i was going to throw up. Anyway I did. On the street in front of people! How embarrasing!

AnnaT - Enjoy your night out. I hope you meet some great new people.

Laurin - Will DH be home for the birth?

J is just finishing up his dinner. He had savory pancakes with lots of minutely cut up veggies hidden throughout. He at the whole thing.

Since I started this post he has finished dinner. Now he is sweeping the family room for me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBAH!!! HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL B'DAY AND PARTY TOO!

Hi girls hople you are all well and having a good weekend, im so tired so will come back tomorrow for personals, just wanted to let you know im lurking lol

Chrissy- Sounds like Craig would've loved the send off you gave him. You'll prolly always go thru good days and bad days but gradually the good days will way out number the bad. As Liam and Caity grow older you can share with them all the memories and stories bout Craig. Sucks you have to move, will you have to go far? Will the kids have to change schools?

Happy Birthday Ambah! (for yesterday)

Jodi- pmsl at what Heath said! Men can be funny.

Caddie- How did you go at the casino? I love roulette! Only play cheap tho on the odd occasion I get to go. I took no doze few months back when I did night shift, no probs apparantly one tab is equivelant to strong cup coffee or something.
Oh and I had to laugh at the Buddy Noakes comment cause I keep saying to Df if we have a boy I'm gonna name him Harvey (after Robert Harvey). You see your Buddy kick his 100th last night?

Well I'm off to the footy later can't wait. Hopefully we win!

Horrible gastro outbreak at my work, was so scared to catch it! We've had to ban addmissions cause 9 pts have it. All you do all shift is put on gloves, gowns and wash hands over and over.

Wishing the beautiful Ainsleigh a very happy 2nd birthday tomorrow. Rikki - wishing you a wonderful day with your gorgeous girl!!!

OMG i cant believe it ex brought me flowers!!!!

and he wants to take us all to the royal show next week... not sure if i will go, but he is taking the girls (older 2) anyway

i cant believe it, not really interested in a reconcilation but wish he realised all this b4

wow ness!!! Why'd he do that for? Is he trying to get into your good books, what does he want??

Had a lazy weekend this weekend. Heath took Nina in the pool today, the water felt great. But I was too lazy to go in. It's certainly warming up here. The pool temp was 29.5, dunno what the air temp was. Don't want to know either, all I know is that it's hot.
I'm enjoying a glass of red before I go to bed.

caddie - sorry i wasn't on msn before. I got the link and had a look. You're doing some fantastic stuff! The clothes you've made look great.

Ness - enjoy your flowers, you sure deserve them, even if your not interested in a reconciliation - guys always realise things a little bit too late don't they?

Jodi - you can send your weather down this way - when is Melbourne's winter going to be over......

Nelle - had a better night's sleep last night with the Brauers spray - also helped that Rylee slept from 9 pm till 8 am - good girl.

Meg - DH is planning to be back 10 Nov and baby due 30 Nov....

Okay, sorry for lack of personals, going to go to bed now and hopefully get a good nights sleep.

Laurin xxxx

I know someone mentioned this the other day, but ****, I can't believe you're due in November Laurin!!!!

I reckon Jodi! How much is Laurin's pregnancy speeding along!? Glad you slept better last night Laurin.

That's interesting Ness. Perhaps don't expect too of him much but just enjoy it for what it is, and go with the flow? It would be great if he could improve his act - even if you guys never end up back together, how great for the girls if their memories can be that of days out as a whole family where their mum and dad are able to laugh and joke around.

Sorry for the people I've missed, I've just woken from a nap on the couch, so I'm a bit fuzzy... :P

Yeah..

Im not taking naything to seriously but it was nice.

I figured if we cant be together, then the next best thing is for us to be good friends for the sake of the girls

I've just woken from a nap on the couch, so I'm a bit fuzzy... :P

What, you've just woken up nelle!! What happened to you going to bed earlier at night :o

*looks guiltily at floor, then ceiling, then fingernails...*

Nah didnt win big at casino.Brought some money home instead! We ended up having friends staying over the weekend as there car broke down. Millana loved it,as she had someone else for attention.
Last night ruby was so overtired.She was screaming so much she was upsetting millana.It was blood curdeling,like she had been attacked.It was horrid.
I have a friend coming today for a coffee and thats about it.
Thanks jodi! It is really cute the skirt/onesie.Im trying to be prepared for nov so i dont have to sew everything all at once! and then get stressed out!

Happy Birthday Ainsleigh!

:happybirthday: Happy birthday Miss Ainsleigh!! Hope you have a great day.

Ambah's party went well, thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.

Jodi - I'm thinking we might go for a swim today, it's warming up here as well (enough that yesterday we had to take the b'day cake to mum and dad's to keep in the fridge during the party because the icing was melting - thank god they live a 2 minute drive from the zoo).

Meg - :hug: Oh hun, hope the MS gives you a break soon.

Oh and dad's pulling up quite well considering. He's in a bit of pain, but is only having to take panadol for pain relief. He's arm will be in a sling for awhile and he has a minimum of 3 weeks off work (gonna be interesting - he's a bit of a workaholic). Hopefully he'll be able to enjoy this time - and mum can't make him do work around the house like she usually would on his holidays :lol:

Happy 2nd Birthday Ainsleigh!!

Happy Birthday AINSLEIGH!!!
Glad the party went well sharl's and hope your fil recovers soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AINSLEIGH.

Caddie - so you are not a millionnaire? Bummer. But at least you didn't lose money.

Shar - did your dad make it to the party like he wanted to?

All you girls talking about the heat. I just turned the heater on here as it was only 14 inside.

Nelle - I don't know how you can do it getting to bed so late. don't the boys get you up in the morning?

James is current;y sleeping 9pm to 7am. But he has been having nightmares, and crying in his sleep. Sometimes he wakes himself up crying, but some of the time he just cries, and when I go in there he is still sound asleep.

Happy Birthday Ainsleigh!!!

Meg- Poor J, does he settle easily once you go in?

Shar- Glad to hear your dad is doing well.

Bea- Like you said be good if the 2 of you can be friends for the sake of the girls. Will be so much easier for them. I guess its nice he bought you the flowers. Hopefully it is his way of saying he knows he's stuffed up and wants to do the right thing by you all.

Well my excitement at the moment is footy, being September and the fact my team made it to 4th place on the ladder I am overjoyed! I know most of you in here aren't footy mad so won't understand my excitement, lol.

:happybirthday: HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY AINSLEIGH!! :happybirthday:

bummer you didn't win a few million $$ caddie, you could have taken us all on a holiday :D

shar - I'm glad Ambah's party went well. What a trooper your dad is, only panadol for pain relief! I hope he doesn't drive your mum crazy while he's at home!
Pool sounds lovely ... I think Ambah's present is going to arrive just in time for her ;)

It's soooo hot here today. I know I said that yesterday, but it's hotter today :( Got the air con on the girls room while they sleep.
Just been car shopping, again. This time looking at a Rav 4. Decisions, decisions.

ETA: shell, I'm footy mad, but only for nrl. But woohoo on your team making 4th place!!

Atually shell i watch most games of footy! not just my team. I go for hawks!!! and uddy kicked his 100th because he is such a legend!!!!:p
Meg i know boys tend to get night terrors starting at this age. Have you thought of that? My friends boy use to get them bad and even with parents there comforting he was off in a different land.:hug:

I have heard about night terrors too. I was watching Sunrise one morning and they were talking about it. Apparently Nat's little boy has night terrors. They were saying how it's best not to wake them, but to comfort them while they're still alseep. And they will grow out of it in time.

I ditto you on the hot Jodi, its 30deg here according to the car temping system! Im trying real hard not to put the a/c on except when the boys nap in their rooms. I still say go the Kluger if you can afford it. I love love love it, we can fit oodles of stuff in it and the back seats fold right down flat so Ry has already done some rubbish trips to the dump. Its even got climate control which is awesome, no guessing how far to turn the dial to be cool in the car. Drives like a dream too. If we lived closer Id let you have a drive to test it out.

Meg, Jett does the same thing, has done since he was about 9mths old. Sometimes he even "wakes up" in a night terror and fights us physically. We've had a few bruises and cuts from trying to calm him down. Not alot you can do except comfort him in some way. I usually just sit on the side of his bed and pat his head or back til he quiets down, usually doesnt take long. I also find he does it more when hes lost his blankie or is hot.
Caddie, poo you didnt win a million, maybe next time!
Shell, yay for your team making the semi's but I dont follow any kind of footy anymore. Ry follows AFL but Freo has sucked big time this year (bit like the cowboys eh Jodi ;) ) so he's stopped watching :lol:

OMG I had the best night out on Saturday. I left at 5pm and didnt get home til nearly 2am!! We had dinner at a mexican restaurant called Cactus Jacks, omg so yummy. We had chocolate nacho's for dessert, yes you read right, choc nacho's! I think I gained 10kgs just by looking at them. Then we danced the night away in the city. Theyre great girls, super fun, so maybe I might not be a loner anymore :)

Yeah well, lets not go there with the Cowboys. :rolleyes:
That's great you had a good night out Anna. Is Ry into motorcross at all? Heath and I are going to the Supercross in Townsville in November. We'll be heading down there Saturday morning, coming home Sunday some time.
So far we've tested driven the Prado, Kluger & Rav4. They're all fantastic cars, but I think the Rav4 suits us better. We think we'll just stick with the 2 girls, and it's a perfect size for that. And it's quite roomy, even the boot. We've just got to talk Toyota down in price, which we know we can. We've been there done that with Heath's ute a few years ago.

Cool we looked at Rav4's too but the Kluger was the right price. Good luck with talking them down. Um I dont think he's into Motorcross. He's got to be the only soldier that isnt into some sort of motor sport lol

Happy belated birthday Ambah!

Happy birthday Ainsley, hope that you had a great day !

Well i thought Alexander was recovering from surgery ok, however he has been having fevers and has screamed the house down the last 2 nights, so off to the DR today and looks like the grommet in his right ear has fallen out! it was just put in.. grrrr:(
he also has really bad breathe which is from an infection in his throat, so on AB and we see the surgeon on Thurs..

hope that everyone else is well.. have not had a chance to read personals, have just snuck on here for 5mins while hubby is looking after the kids.

Oh Annie poor little bugger. I hope to hell he gets better soon. Make sure you look after yourself to babe.

Happy birthday Ainsleigh honey.
