Happy Birthday for the 29th Annika!!!!(sorry its late)
Caddie - How was your day at the show?
Maz - Yay on the tt - Tiana woke us up at 1.30am the other night, stripped and wanted to go potty. I may not have been as entusiastic as I should have been...
Meg - Hope you are ok. Hope to hear from you soon.
AnnaT - Congrats on your healthy baby boy!
Kell - I cant believe how big Keira is! Where has the time gone?
Belle - How are you going?
Sorry to anyone that I have missed.
Good luck with your scan today shell.
annat - Who knows, you might be surprised at your 20 week scan, and it might be a girl :crossfingers: Sending lots of pink vibes your way. What did Ry say about another boy?
ness - how was Annika's daycare party?
eta; Just a little gloat. Emily just woke up, and I held out my arms to pick her up out of bed, and she reached her arms out to me!! First time she's done that.
Jodi- the centre loved the cake!!... everyone in the whole place got some and none sent home for me..
she has her friend party on the weekend...
yay one the 'pick me up mum'
Shell- good luck today
I should have also added that we are in week 3 of tt with Nina, and all this week she has been in undies and only a handful of accidents. And we've been out twice with her wearing undies, and no accidents on those occassions :clap:
Well done Nina!!! :clap:
Jodi - You guys got a Rav4 didn't you? Which one, and are you liking it? Aaron's trying to sell me on getting a 4WD, and I'm not sure. Is there a lot of space in the back seat? Leg room especially (I don't think these girls of mine are going to stop growing any time soon :rolleyes: Won't be long and they'll be towering over me!!)
Yay Nina and Em! Isnt it great when they start 'wanting' you just because! I love it when Ripley gestures toward me when I enter a room like "Hey come get me woman!"
Ry is stoked its another boy BUT he actually surprised me by saying he was a teeny bit disappointed it wasnt a girl. I could have fainted I was so surprised to hear that. He said that he'd just been thinking that he'd never get to walk a daughter down the isle and that he feels super bad for me :( But thems the brakes, who knows I might get one more go out of him yet lol That or baby's penis might fall off before our next ultrasound :lol: I keep thinking that maybe the tech got it wrong so early..........naughty me. He's a healthy baby though, measuring a week ahead of dates and weighing 15g more than he should at this stage so he might be my big one!
shar - we got a V6 Rav4, and love it! It's a good sized car, but I'd probably suggest the Kluger for you guys instead, as it's even bigger. You can fit 3 kids in the back seat easily with the Rav, but like you said, your girls are going to be tall.
anna - oh gosh, weddings. EEEEEK! I never even thought of that, with having 2 girls. Good to hear that Ry isn't too disappointed.
AnnaT - I know you wanted a pink one but you still sound really happy about another boy! I think its true what they say about not caring as long as it is healthy!
Jodi - Yay on Em! and Nina's tt! How have you done the tt thing? Tiana is really ready and will use it when she wants but I haven't done the whole put her in knickers and let her go thing yet. I think i am just being lazy!
Shell - Hope your scan went well!
Bea - Good that Annikas party was great! Dont the kids just love cake!
I am happy cause I have done the christmas shopping! Tiana is getting a baby play station with cribs and baths etc, a new baby and 3 outfits and a trampoline! I got a 10 foot one for $229! John and I are getting a wii with a wii fit. I am happy that it is all done (well on layby).
Oh, I think I added you to facebook Jodi? Was it you?
Hey girls, everything went well in the scan, apparantly all looks normal, good heart rate. I was planning to have peek when they looked at genitals but they must've done it without me even realising cause at the end the woman said "so do you want to know what it is". I was strong enough to say no and that I wanted a surprise. Just funny that I didn't even realise when they were looking there. Scan took ages tho cause had trainee chick that was very slow then the main woman had to check over everything.
Marni- wow on xmas shopping already, hasn't even crossed my mind, I nearly died when I saw all xmas decos at myers other day.
Jodi- Yay on the girls achievements! So nice when they start putting arms up to you, and Ninas TT is doing so good.
AnnaT- Well you never know, could've been umbilical cord instead!
Bea- I saw yr cake pics they looked fantastic!
Glad to hear scan went well Shell.
Nelle-Did River get his pressie?
marni - Nina wasn't a fan of the potty, so I got her a step thingy which has a seat that goes over the toilet. That way, she can step up and sit on the toilet on her own. All I do is put undies on her during the day, and tell her to go to the toilet if she needs to do a wee or poo. I don't remind her every hour or anything. I know others do, but I can't be bothered. I'd forget, lol!
And yep, that was me on Facebook :D You'll find most of us on there, just go through my friends and add them all from there.
shell - great to hear your scan went well.
Nina did the grossest thing this morning. She had done a poo in the toilet, but it was a little messy. So what does she do - try and clean it up ... with her hands!! She came racing out to me to tell me. It was EVERYWHERE!! :sick:
fak, but YES Helen, thanks so much, Riv loves it. Great choice. :D
Ewww Jodi. At least she was trying to help?
Hope Meg and Ambz are okay.
Congrats on your boy annat. My nan had 3 boys and she was doted on. Boys have a special thing for their mums.You wait and see...
Shell,glad your scan went well.I will be dying in suspence for the next few weeks now!
The show was great.The girls were well behaved.It was packed though.Kinda of expect it on a public holiday.
The girls have the coughs again...So been getting up to them most nights.Tonite i wont be because im going to try and stay awake for the telethon.
I have a giraffe to finish and a mermaid canvas to keep me occupied.:D
Glad to hear River liked the present, noisy times ahead.LOL
Caddie-Glad to hear that the girls enjoyed the show. Hope the girls coughs dont develop into anything nasty.
My little girl turned 6 on Thursday. I cant believe how much she is growing up.
I am basically bed ridden and cant drive due to fainting spells caused by my heart palpitations. I am soldiering on, and have my next scan this Thursday. Sorry I have missed heaps, hope everyones little munchkins are good.
Yay for making it to 30wks Helen! What is your OB aiming for, 34-35wks? I bet youll get to 36 if not longer!
That is the plus side Caddie, I can be the only pretty princess with 3 adoring boys to take care of me lol That said Im already contemplating a 4th............if Ryan will agree which at this stage he is not keen at all as 2 of the 4 will have to share a room and we'd need to put more seats in the back of the Kluger (which we are planning on doing anyway hehehe) Will have to take the hint if the 4th is a boy and just be happy with my lot. I always wanted 4 kids anyway.
Helen- yay on 30 weeks
Annikas KK arrived on friday!! Thankyou, should be great for summer!!!
Helen- Oh god you poor thing, I hope Leith is waiting on you hand and foot! Happy Birthday to Bella turning 6.
Caddie- Ash is sick again too, I'm starting to know how you feel cause lately its like she is sick more than not, we get over one virus and then another comes along, very tiring getting up at night and cuddling her all day.
Jodi- pmsl at Nina thats hilarious! Luckily for me Ash loves the toilet brush and always wants to use that so thankfully no hands!
Df is back to work tomor, been good having him home to help out and as weather been ok we went to botanical gardens last week and the zoo so having nice family days out.
Finally did my tax return other day, can't wait for refund, altho we putting most away for when I'm on mat leave I did tell Df we are going to go out somewhere really nice for dinner, dress up a bit and have great night out for a change seeing as we'll have money to afford it.
God we must all be busy :ROFL:
Shell what a great idea to go out and have a real night out. i dont think Jed and I have done that in about 3 years.
hello everyone..only a quicky
Ive gone through Vy's nappies and have only 8 left. I cant believe that she doesnt need them bar night time now :(
Hey guys!!
Just popping in to let you all know that Meg is still off here for awhile - but said to say hi to everyone. She's been spending time with her family - Meg, honey, still keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. And sending a special prayer for your cousin, her DH and little baby Will.
Shell - That sounds like fun. Hope you have a great night out - and I'm very glad your scan went well.
Helen - :hug: Hope the next few weeks go quickly for you and I'm sure the twins arrival will more than make up for all the pain :bellyrubs: Oh, I saw your new photos on FB - gorgeous!! :D And happy birthday to Bella for last Thursday :partysmiley:

Chrissy - good luck on the move -you will really enjoy and deserve your w/end in Melb in October, have a fantastic time.
M3G- thanks for keeping us posted on Meg, thinking of you Meg, hugs to you and your family.
Helen - not long to go for you, you are doing a great job, I can hardly cope with one let alone twins.
Caddie - well done on all your cooking for your DH's birthday, I have always wanted to make OssoBucco but never have, I should do it in the slow cooker.
Shell - great news on your scan, you are doing well not finding out the sex, I can't help myself. Enjoy your night out with DF.
Maz - well done on Vy's TT - I feel like a bit of a slacker that I havn't got Rylee onto it yet.......
okay, sorry I have missed alot, hello to everyone. DH is home at the moment so we have been out and about, etc, he goes back on Wed.
Laurin xxx
Chrissy - Jed laughed when I said I was raiding the grog cabinet.....I think I'll need to wear glasses at the expo on sunday ROFL. Only 2 more weeks..
**** - Look at your belly Anna....
Can someone please PM me Meg's address...i have something here to send her.
Caddie - hmmm occo bucco YUMMO!!!!
Mo3 - yay on schools tartiung back.....my house is QUIET again!!!! WOO HOOO
laurin - Vy has TT herself...I havent pushed the issue at all....how are you feelign anyway???
Jodstar....oh shut up about the pool...ive got my dame heater on AGAIN!!!!!!!
Better go...Mateauz has crawled into the hallway and Vy has decided its time to dress herself...putting her close on inside out!
Hehehe - hey Maz - we're heading out to the pool as well ;) :p
OH BEHAVE!!!!!!!!!
ive got trackies and a jumper on...oh and my moccies
Oh you poor darling - you should move back up here ;)
What is it with this girl and olives!!??!! All I want to do is go for a swim and she just wants to eat Aaron's garlic and chilli olives (which means I have to keep taking the chilli out for her). And Aaron's not any help, it's his RDO, but he got a call to go out to a town about 1/2 hour away at 9 last night and didn't get home until 4 this morning!!! (And he's not even on call!) So he's buggered and cranky this morning - yay!!!
hmm I thinks me should sometimes....Jed would hate it cause he hates the heat and sweats like a pig in summer....Nikolaus is like his dad too.
Are you still bfing babe??? Just asking cause of your ticker...(Im jealous is you are )
Oh I went to a baby expo here in shepparton on saturday and it was fantastic. I spoke to the ABA chicki there and she said she'd love to have me come to a meeting. Took Mateauz and of course he was the biggest tart :ROFL:..showing of his zebra cover and bone baby legs :)...looks like I'll set up a stand there next year.
Ummm, yeah, just a bit :hide: Trying to cut right back, she's only having feeds when she wakes up during the night (usually about 3am) and if I'm trying to avoid getting out of bed early in the morning (she's started waking up earlier - about 5.30, so can't really complain, but I've been really tired the last week or so - makes it difficult to want to get up at that time.
Hey, I love the butterfly covers!!!!! Too gorgeous, if Ambah wasn't TTing I'd buy one - hmmm, might have to invest in one for a friend who's due today......
Ive got one NB or small..that I still have to finish opsie
and hey babe...I am jealous of you...god on you for doing what is right for you guys re BF...i think its wonderful
Hahaha, speak of the devil, she just wandered in here and said "I want booby Mummy, pretty please"
I agree, good on your honey for still b/f :confetti: Is it hot down your way today? The pool was 30 degrees an hour ago, and the solar heating has just turned on. I reckon the pool will get to 32 by the time Heath gets home.
Took Emily in the pool for the first time, and she loved it!
Yay for Emily's first swim!!! :clap: The temperature's really pleasant today, but very windy. I'm thinking we'll be putting the solar heating in early next year - maybe Feb, or March at the latest. Didn't get that fence painted on the weekend - think I've changed my mind about the colour (again :rolleyes:) so am waiting for a week or so just in case I change my mind again.
M3G- well done on the bf!!
Chrissy- hope you enjoy your holiday
Im so jealous of all these pools!!! I do have my mini pool but cant have it up thi summer due to the open houses grr!!!! and the fact that dad took down the fence
So much going on her atm, we are painting , de cluttering and all the lovely things you have to do for selling houses...
Poor Mj was sick as well UTI, had to get anti b and it turns out she is quite possibly allergic to penicilion so had to get the non penicilion ones and now we have to do skin allergy test..
ok off to clean some more
Yeah it is bloody cold down here today, have my heater on too, don't worry Maz it'll be warming up towards end week!
Beatrix- Poor MJ, Ash had UTI when she was 5 months and it was horrible, he got really high temps, did she try the penicillin and have some sort of reaction?
So when do you move into your new place?
m3g- Yes I remember that trick to avoid getting up to early, that was one great thing with BFing kept her in bed longer, altho can't complain these days she does sleep til 8am. Doesn't have day sleep tho.
Laurin- I can't remember if you've already said but will your DH be home for around time when baby is due and get time off to help out? When does he think he'll get to be here permanantly?
Caddie- Lol at your hubby, I saw car yesterday with Hawks scarf out the window and asked Df how long you're allowed to celebrate grand final win (I wouldn't know since Saints one and only grand final was in 1966!) he said 6 months so be prepared. lol.
Chrissy- Have great time in melb, I can imagine you and Maz getting up to alot mischief! Lol. Good luck with the move.
Meg- :hug: Thinking of you and your family.
Ash is on AB's too, shes had puffy eye so could be infected and being unwell also he thought he'd just give her some ABs. being the sensible Dr he is he knew eye drops wouldn't be a good idea to try getting into a 2 year old!
I am decluttering too.... moving house in feb. We are going to mum and dads mansion because they want to travel extendly and dont want the house vacant. So yay more sewing and scrapping space.lol
Thanks for that shell,another 6 months!!! I hope ash's eye gets better soon.
I feel bad,as i havnt tried with the tt. Ruby had an idea a few months back but i was slack and now she has no clue. So i am sticking round home and putting training pants on so she knows what wee is.
Maz im freaking cold too. Ive got jeans,jacket on and even ruby is complaining of feeling the cold.
Ness hope MJ gets better quick. It must be horrible for her.
Ok back to decluttering. Ive got so much to do.
Ps= my store will be opening again in nov.So stay tuned...
Caddie- thats fantastic about your store... so we will be moving around the same time!!
Can't wait for your store to be open again Caddie. Been wanting to buy something off you.
b - are you moving into the new house soon, is that the one?
caddie - that's what we're doing with Nina, just putting training pants on her. When we go out, we put training pants on her as well. Much better than knickers.
I really should be de-cluttering. Heck, I should be folding the huge pile of washing I have around here, but I just really couldn't be bothered today. I haven't even eaten a proper meal today, just too lazy.
Back to the dr's for me on Wednesday. Now that we have my iron levels sorted, I have other issues to sort out. aarrrgghhh, I'm sick of going to the dr.
Caddie - great to hear that your gonna reopen babe ;)...ive got a pile 1m high to put on ebay and ive gotta sell some nappies...20 of them :(
better check the kids opsie! :ROFL:
