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 :lol::p 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 :clap:
-
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.
-
Hey Shell - are you going to the BB brunch meet up at Oh ****...some park..lol on the 7th of deemeber???
-
Oh I didn't know bout it better go find thread for it and find out my roster at work if I'm working that day!
ETA: As I thought working that day, thats what sucks bout working weekends always missing out on something! (altho money is 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.
Have a nice Sunday girls.
Laurin x

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!
-
got back Sat night spent yesterday mowing yard and fixing jacks room cot is down and he is in single bed :cry:
will be back later with better post
-
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.
-
Oh Jodi - im so glad you had a great tiem away...both you and Heath deserved a break.
Hello everyone..kids running wild as per usual.
Chrissy......hey woman..I need to ring you..tomorrow??
KK pressy will be mailed on saturday...i friggen forgot to take it to the post office today :doh:
-
Helen - I think that you have done a wonderful job to get as far as you have. Everyone makes the breastfeeding/bottle decision with what works best for them and their family, so whatever you choose is the right thing.
Belle - Thanks for the catch up.
Kell - J does swimming lessons as well. He LOVES it. I saw your thread about muffins. Let me know if you come across any good recipes.
Laurin - I hope your little munchkin is letting you get a bit more sleep.
Caddie - as nice as it must be to have them say ow much they love, you, I can undstand getting a bit tired of it. J doesn't tell me he loves me all day, but it's always "mummy" then I say "Yes james?" and he actually doesn't want anything.
Welcome back Rach.
Jodi = Glad you had a good weekend.
J is off to mum's tomorrow. she is going up to the holiday house and asked me if she could take him, so of course I said yes! So I will be child free till Saturday. woo Hoo. DH and I are going to go out to the movies or dinner or something......
-
Meg- Woohoo, you won't know what to do with yourself! Enjoy it, does your mum want to take Ash as well?
Caddie- I hear you on the constant wanting to be entertained, I try to enc Ash to just play alone for a bit but its constantly mummy mummy, mummy sit here, mummy play.
Laurin- Hows it going with Rylee and sleeping on her own? Sounds like there might be 4 in the bed soon. I hope you work out something that works so you're not up with 2 kids every night.
Well Ash has gone into her big girl bed tonight, its exciting but sad, she's my little baby and looks so small in there. We been trying to get her involved with setting it up so we can tell her what plan is but still was bit funny when we put her in, so far been up once crying but we've told her its a princess fairy bed so she liked that thought. Hopefully now she can get out herself she won't be awake at the crack of dawn!
-
wow all these kids in their big beds, Rylee will be a few months away yet. I think we are slowly getting there with sleeping though I don't want to speak to soon, she even had a day nap today with no fuss.
Meg - yay on getting a few days to yourself, make the most of it - lie-in's, dinners out, movies, reading on the couch, takeaway while watching a dvd, etc, etc, do I sound jealous lol ??????
Okay, absolutely nothing to report here re new baby, so will just wait patiently.
Have a good night
Laurin x
-
kid-free till Saturday meg, enjoy!! I hope you manage to get on top of things while you've got time to yourself.
I'd give anything for my parents to offer to babysit. I had to plan for them to babysit about a 6 months, and 2 weeks they cancelled on me!
shell - I hope Ash has a good night sleep in her big girl bed tonight.
-
maz, i will be home today the kids go to family day care so i wont be screaming at caity...she is so naughty atm..im going to the gym but will be back at 10.30.
-
:happybirthday: Happy Birthday Nelle!!! Hope you have a wonderful day :hug: :birthday2:
Maz - Yeah, I agree with Jodi, if they're sent by the first week of December?
Belle - If you still want to be in the KK, I can arrange something ;)
Are we still up for the chat? It's this Friday isn't it?
Oh and best of luck Laurin for the upcoming arrival :bellyrubs:
-
yep, this Friday night. What time should we make it, remembering everyone has different times. We don't have DLS in Qld, so we're 1 hour behind southeners, and I think 2 hours behind WA. Is that correct?
Happy Birthday Nelle!!
-
Is WA on daylight savings yet? They're 2 hours behind Qld if they're not, an hour if they are. Hmm, there's a possible 3 hour gap between the NSW and Vic people and WA (if WA's not on DLS) - could make it tricky.
-
Happy Birthday Nelle!!!
Ash went ok in big girls bed, had few tears but easily settled ands she did get really upset in the night cause she climbed out and was standing at end bed in the dark but otherwise I think she is impressed.
-
WTG ASH!!! have you got a little night light in her room so she can see at all?
i will try to make the chat...ill put it down on calender NOW
**** - Nelle woman!!! how old ar eyou today woman? 24..young puppy...happy birthday chicka

Lets do it girlies......let our hair down and PARTY!!!!
-

Maz- cant do melb.. sorry am doing syd and hobart in feb.
Happy bday Nelle

-
Happy birthday Nelle!
I'll try and make it for the chat. QLD are an hour behind east coast and WA.
Maz would love to but I wont be able to fly at that late a stage otherwise I so would have been there!
Yay for holidays Ness! Im still trying to find a friend to come on a 2 night spa retreat with me while DH is on hols over chrissy/new year. One friend likes the idea but her partner wont watch her daughter for 2 nights, big baby lol
Yay for Ash Shell!
So the boyo's and I are sick, Dh is on carers leave for 2 days as I felt my face would explode from my sinuses and gave me a rotten migraine. The boys are better but still snotty and still asleep from their arvo nap! Should wake them up soon I guess. Rip's loving his big boy bed.
Ummmmmmm thats about all I have to contribute lol Im off to finish watching find my family and eagerly await my takeaway dinner.
-
Hope you are feeling better AnnaT
Shell - Glad Ash has moved into the big bed fairly easily.
Maz - March next year might be hit and miss for me, as that is when I am due!
Sorry girls, can't make the MSN chat as we are still child free and going out for dinner.
Yes that's right, we will have been out for 2 dinners child free in the same week. Woo hoo! It was so great. Last night we went out and enjoyed some proper adult conversation, then hired a dvd, and spent some great time together. It was so good.
It is storming here now....
-
I will try and get on msn but its millana's 4th bday sat and we are having a party or should i say me doing it all as aaron is working. I have 21 kids in total. So lots of preparation is needed!
I am so flat out. I get on and lurk but im sorry i will make it up sometime!
-
Right sorry! Been Busy with a capital B!
Firstly, Friday night, doubtful, it's our youth group's all nighter, my sis is a leader and sick, so I think I'm filling in for her and maybe I'll head home about 2am...
Um what else. Thanks for the Happy Birthdays! I had a great day. :D
Riv is sick, spewed 3 times the first day, none the second, twice today. Mostly cheerful, just spewy. I've had him on some Hydralite to make sure he's hydrated, cos he didn't eat much at all today. Anything else I should be doing?
All the best Laurin, if you haven't already had your beautiful bub. Was she going to sms anyone?
Wow Meg, all that quality time, hope you have a great time!
Wow Caddie, that will be a huge party! All the best!
Your family all recovered now Annat?
Well Maz, I'll be in Melbourne anyway, so just keep me posted. :p
Well, I had hoped to be in bed earlier, but such is life. Had a meeting here, for our church Christmas service, and got a lot organised, and ate Tim Tams, so it was all good. :D I think I'll make muffins tomorrow...just thought I'd share...
-
No news here, will text Shell when it all happens.
Nelle - poor Riv - how is he today, I think the only thing you can do is keep them hydrated until they get the nasty bug out of their systems.
Caddie - good luck for the party tomorrow and big Happy 4th Birthday to Millana!!! Wow on 21 kids, good on you.
AnnaT - hope you are your family are recovering now from being sick.
Meg - bet you feel like a new person now after having a break and having one-one-one time with your DH.
Okay, just chilling today, Rylee is in childcare so I think this is my last child-free day for quite a while, just going to put my feet up today and not do anything - unless bub makes an appearance.
BBL and have a great day!
Laurin xxx
-
Hurry up Laurin with this bub! Lol, I am hanging out for baby news! have you got name picked out yet? All organised?
Nelle- How is Riv? Don't think you can do much more than you are doing, don't worry bout food just as long as fluids are kept up. I see you're still having late nights missy....
caddie- Oh god, party with 21 kids will be interesting, so this is what we have to look forward too! Can't believe miss Milliana will be 4!
Meg- I think we have enjoyed 2 child free nights in the whole time since we had Ash, lol. Glad you had great time, rest will do you good too. How you feeling? Hows the pregnancy going for you? I just feel constant exhusted.
AnnaT- How are all the sickies at your place? Everyone on the mend? A 2 night spa retreat sounds like a dream, I want to be in on that!
Maz- I'm on for meet-up! I'll have a gorgeous newborn to drag along so you can have lots cuddles of him/ her. As long as you give it back, lol, I know how clucky you'll get!
I have very sore wii tennis arm but I am getting heaps good at it!
Putting up xmas tree sunday I can't wait, even tho Ash not really understanding xmas she just loves all the trees and decorations we see, she really getting into it so makes me even more into it seeing her enjoyment.
-
-
Unfortunately can't do chat. Been banned from downloading msn after out desktop was infected with lots virus's and net stopped working on it!
-
-
Hope you guys had a good chat. :) I ended up being home, but I feel like I've been run over by something big and fast. :p Though the Nurofen's starting to kick in I think - I caught whatever Riv had I think (my sis caught it too), and I spent aaages trying to throw up before I managed to and felt a bit better. So, pull out your violins guys, Nelle's a sickie. :D
It's funny, I remember when you had gastro Meg, and I just thought 'oh, that's no good' - I'd obviously forgotten how crap it feels. Funny how we forget these things.
No good Shell! Have you got a free anti-virus program?
Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow! Rans is headed out to a buck's day, and is dropping me and the kids at mum and dad's so they can look after us. I'm so grateful we live close to my parents.
-
:boohoo:
I've been wanting to use that for ages!!
No good that you're sick nelle. We were talking about the 'sept 06 mass melbourne meetup' in May 09.
We're thinking of the last weekend in May that we're all going to try and get to Melbourne with at least the Sept 06 kids.
-
Chrissy and Maz - Is there any reason why you guys are not in the Australian network on FB? And is anyone else on FB but I haven't got you as one of my friends?
-
Nelle, Shell and Laurin...we have to think of somewere affordable close to Melbourne for us all to stay and somewere nice to spend a day with all the kids...I was thinking the zoo
Sharl - I have no idea babe.
-
That's cool hun, just got a group going on FB so we can privately talk about next year. I can either create a different group on the global network, or you and Chrissy can change to the Australian network - whatever's easier for you guys
-
Hmmm a may meetup now.................you know whats funny? I had a psychic tarot reading done yesterday and she told me that not long after the baby is born she's sure there will be some sort of travel and/or a move. I thought she might be talking about us moving in July (and she was) but maybe I decide to travel down for the meetup too.
Hope ya'll had a good chat. I went to bed early, was knackered.
-
shar.. i have no idea about FB, i will look into it, but im not to computer savvy..
definatly up for a may meet up..but if i travelling down i will want to spend a couple of days there, and maybe i should bring my babysitter (16yo daughter) so we can have a dinner with no kids,and get on the ****....
-
I'm bringing babysitters Chrissy, my mum & sister :lol: They'll probably be up for a night out though.
annat - yeah we decided to change it from March to May to give more time for us all to afford it. Hopefully you can make it with Jett!
