as for xmas, i bought caity and liam together when i moved in this new house a jungle gym,slippery dip, a couple of bikes, and there own set of table and chairs all for the back yard, they already have it set up, and i bought them a couple of cheap roys just so they can unwrap on xmas day. my older girls are getting a PS2 betwwen them, and a $30 gift voucer, my boys are getting a gift voucher, a telescope and a set of 1995 coins ( my son is a coin collector).
i was going to type more, but caitlyn is climbing all over me and driving me insane!!
Still around, just a slacker. Well 39 weeks....on weekly GP visits, head engaged and I am knackered - sleeping really bad. DH got back on Wed night so at least maybe I can duck off in the day and have a nap but just playing the waiting game now.
Havn't really gone overboard with the xmas pressies - Rylee has got books, sand and water table, so far, DH just bought her a whole heap of clothes but we gave them to her already and as for the new bub - will only be three weeks or so, got him a sleepy toy and another toy, not sure what to get a three week old. I have got everyone elses pressies which is good.
Okay not personals sorry, Rylee's getting jealous of the puter.

Laurin xxxx
Goodluck for the impending birth Laurin. Must be nice to have DH home, and a huge relief aswell
Am going ok, however really tired and am unable to BF as my supply is not even enough for 1 baby let alone 2 and it takes too long to BF then top-up and then express. Plus they both get really tired on the breast and then wont take the top up well and are screaming for more within 30-60mins. So for all of us we have made the decision to formula feed. I do kinda feel bad, but I have to remember I have more than just the twins, I have Bella and Eithan to tend to and care for and cant spend all my time at the milking machine.
Meg-I hope you are feeling better.
Sorry have forgotten most of what people have said.
you are doing a great job and if FF is what you need to do then do it!!!! It would be very tiring dealing with twins on ther own let alone another two children
Just got back from swimming lessons.. Jesse doing so well. Hes crashed on the lounge now, must be as buggered as i feel poor boy..
Helen.. great to see you.. oh you did well enough i think to BF for as long as you did, especially with twins. But youre exactly right.. when it comes to BF you have to look at the family as a whole. Absolutely nothing wrong with formula though.. Keiras been on it since she was 3 days old and the little miss is already trying to move!
Chrissy.. wow Liam is growing up so fast.. looks like a real little man.
Laurin.. best of luck for your birth! Im sure it wont be too far away.
Marni.. if you are happy with just the 1 at the moment, thats perfectly fine. You just enjoy that little Angel you have.
Trampoline sounds like a great Christmas present! Would love to get one for Jesse, our yard just isnt big enough Hopefully we'll find another place soon with a nice big yard.
Shell.. just starting him out on 1 day to begin with. No he hasnt been before. But he just love kids so much, always has. They are more fun to him than all the toys in the world. So if he really enjoys it ill look at putting him in an extra day. Oh what type of bed are you getting for Ash? Just a normal one or girl? Are you going to have a theme for her room?
Thanks Maz.. yeh i know.. i wish she would stay still forever! Just cant believe how fast shes doing everything.
Has anyone put up their christmas tree yet? Im going to put ours up tonight. So exciting! I love christmas!!!
Helen - I take my hat off to you for atleast trying hon...your a friggen inspiration for doing that alone! Are the twins (oh how I love using that term ) more settled now? are you atleast getting some rest?
**** - Laurin already...no way!!!! Labour vibes honey!!!
Marni - just think of all the love that Tiama can all of your love without having to share you with anyone.
Kelly...My kids would lov eme to put the tree up tonight...Ive beent 8ihnking abou tit but Jed will crack it...he's such a spoil sport. have to ask...what do you do with Keira when you and jesse go swimming? IM thinking aobut taking vy but am worried about what to do with Mateauz
Oh Ness - when do you move into your new house????
Sharleen - when do we need to have our KK's done by?
Rach - you back woman or you just being a secret squirel
Hello eveyrone....hope your weekend is as wet as ours...everyone in town is on a high atm cause of the rain....its so nice not to see the lawn full of cracks in the dirt for a change.
hi girls how are you all doing? we have been good, just been really busy with everything.
Shell, Laurin, Meg, AnnaT hope you are all going well with your pregnancies. Have I missed out on anyone else who is pregnant? not sure.
Kell - Kiara is gorgeous! i love the pic you took the other day of her with the boys from our July thread! We have put up our Xmas tree, Julia had so much fun she loved it and sits under it all day nearly LOL
maz - hope everything is going well, hows gorgeous Vy? I love her ringlets so cute! hows the tribe? has Mat taken to cruising around the sofa?
Marni - hows T today?

Meg - good to chat to you, thinking of you. Am here if you need to chat ok.
Rach - where ru are you ok?
hi to everyone, if I missed anyone im sorry I will come back later and post more.
Well im off to have a snooze while both kiddies are in bed....
Maz.. i do Jesse's lessons on a Saturday morning so DH can look after Keira every second week and when hes working every other week MIL comes and looks after her. The pool also has a creche (only costs $4 per child i think), which im yet to use, but that is always there if need be also. Maybe your local pool will have the same so you can put Mateauz in there while your with Vy? Ahh a bahhumbug hey lol. Grahame doesnt mind, he knows i go nuts over Christmas lol.
Belle.. thanks hun. Yeh Keiras growing up so fast.. im not liking it! I want her to stay a baby for longer! Oh very cute! I cant wait to see Jesse's face when he sees it up. Christmas will just get more and more fun each year now.
Man its windy here today.. think i better go rescue my washing before it ends up a few houses down!
Im doing well Belle, just melting in the heat, thanks for asking
I know that Nina and Emily are probably enjoying running their grandma into the ground today while Jodi was busy having a leisurely lunch with me She's a yummy mummy alright and really easy to talk to! Was great meeting you Jodi, hopefully next time it can be for longer and the kids can come along too! Hope you guys enjoyed the motorcross.
Kell, yay for Keira sitting! I cant believe she is growing so fast, feels like just yesterday you were waiting waiting waiting for her to arrive.
No christmas tree for us yet as we've told Jett the presents dont come until a few days after the tree goes up so we'll prob put it up with a week to go before christmas. I dread having to keep him and Ripley off it so the least time I have to do it the better.
Laurin - lots of labour vibes and good luck!
Helen - good on you for breastfeeding that long! I admire you for being so calm and collected with 4 kids, 2 of whom a newborn twins! Your superwoman
While you're melting in the heat AnnaT we've had hail down here today! Been freezing but lots rain which is great. Thats great you and Jodi had good time meeting up.
Belle- Pregnancy going well, just very tiring! So cute Julia loves the tree so much, we're going to set up ours next weekend and I reakon Ash will love it, she already loves all the decorations we see at the shopping centre.
Kell- We got her a white wooden bed that has built in shelf in bed head with pink background, it matches her shelves, its very cute. I'm thinking after #2 when I go back to work bout day care, Ash has never been either so I get nervous thinking about it. I just wonder if it'll be harder at this age or not, so let me know how Jesse goes.
Helen- Like everyone else has said don't feel bad, you're doing such a great job. You are a superwoman having 2 older kids plus twins! Do they sort of feed and sleep at the same time?
Laurin- wow one week left! Have you got someones mobile number in here so they can let us all know when bubs arrives? I bet its nice to have DH back to give you a break.
Chrissy- How is everything going with you? How are you coping with new place and all the events that have gone on this year? I hope you're in a good place.
Marni- Yeah I think everyone is onto there next or trying, just you left! Its funny in here how quick everyone has had the next yet in my mums group I'm only the 2nd to go on for #2.
Ness- The reiki healing sounds interesting, however it works I'm glad its doing you good.
Shell - do you want to PM your mobile number to me so I can let you know when something happens
AnnaT & Jodi - great you guys have met up.
Marni - enjoy having Tiarna at the moment and / if and when you have another, have it when the time is right for you and your family.
Helen - you have done a fantastic job with your twins so far with bf - even though it wasn't for as long as you wanted they will still have got loads of benefits from the bm they got in the beginning and of course you have to do the right thing for yourself and your family. You are a fab mum!!
Okay, better go, had a horrible night with DD - lots of crying trying to get her to stay in her cot and not come in with us, but I don't know how else to do it and feel like a cr@p mum when I do let her cry but seriously with a new bub sleeping in our room as well.....well you get the picture.
Hello everyone!
Helen, you tried mate,thats all you can do and i agree you have to think of the family as a whole. I couldnt b/f as my milk just disspeared like flash gordan! Now at least you can see how much the twins are feeding and perhaps with full belly's they may be more settled?
Ness glad the reiki went well. My girls drive me insane and you do it on your own!
I must be a sh.t of a mother if i cant even cope with 2.
My girls just talk non stop,want to be entertained 24/7,tell me they love me 50,0000 times a day literally and i am there seat. I cant even have a visitor without the girls sitting on me interrupting or them all over my friends giving hugs and kisses.
Anyways,seen my gorgeous neice Luca on the weekend! She is so petite. I loved holding her and got real clucky but my hubby is a sad sack and according to my mother i shouldnt have anymore because i wont be able to cope. Oh well i got my ebay baby coming soon.
Ok off to finish some projects and go to the post office.
Sorry i will do personals and some stage just totally exhausted in the brain atm!
We had a great weekend away last weekend. I don't think we're going to get a chance to go kid-free again in a LONG time though! 2 weekends away without them is plenty.
Great meeting you Annat. Next time we should have the girls with us.
Motorcross was fantastic! It stormed (lightning, thunder & rain!!!) and we got drenched. But it was fun.
KK - Should we try and send off the presents by beginning of December? To try and avoid the Christmas rush.
Hopefully we'll find another place soon with a nice big yard.
She's a yummy mummy alright and really easy to talk to! Was great meeting you Jodi, hopefully next time it can be for longer and the kids can come along too! Hope you guys enjoyed the motorcross.
