Its sucks Meg! I run my a/c most of the day now and sleeping is a nightmare between being uncomfy and hot.
Ive been doing way to much browsing on Ebay for the kids rooms. Ive decided to use the govt money next month to do up their rooms. Rips gets bunk beds, and Jett gets a theme room, probably Buzz Lightyear if I can win some stuff off Ebay. Oh and Gage gets his nursery ofcourse.
Helen- Yay on twins coming home! Thats fantastic news, how are Bella and Eithan with them?
Meg- Hope the GP can sort something out for you, it terrible how often you're all getting sick. That country air is no good for you! Yeah trying to take it easy, Df vacummed and mopped today so that was good, how you sleeping? I'm finding I'm waking a million times a night!
Jodi- I think sometimes thank god our bedrooms are upstairs that way when bubs comes along Ash can't disturb him/her. Lol at Nina, so cute!
Caddie- How did the markets go? I can imagine you going all out on nurseries, you are lucky you have such great creative side you can make your plans come to life.
God the kids went crazy at mums group today, imagine 5 kids running up and down non stop squealing! Of course Ash was in tired bad mood after we got home.
Helen - Thats fantastic!!! I hope that they settle in well and there big brother and sister love them heaps.
Ness - Hope all is ok.
Maz - Mat is soo big (and cute)!
Meg - If the ob cant help, maybe a trip to your gp?
Jodi - I have a gate across Tianas door, the swing gate ones are fantastic!
The hosp appt went well. Her right kidney has grown well, is a little larger than a normal one and seems to be compensating for not having a left one. Her blood pressure was fine and we only need to have yearly blood pressure checks and urinalysis's. Poor chicken though, she started crying when we got there and didnt stop until I told her we were leaving. Just kept saying, 'go home, go home mummy'. She just hates drs and nurses now Hopefully she will grow out of it now she doesnt have to go as much.
Oh marni - give her a big cuddle from us all...poor little sausage. Do you have to go every 6 months now? I dont think they ever forget the place. We have to go back for an MRI for Mateauz some time next year...SO not looking forward to that as he has to have a general for it
SO.........
what is everyone buying for their kids for Christmas? its only 5 weeks away.
Anna - I cant wait to see pics of the nursery....we're doing Mateauz room in buzzz....its still left over form Wilhelm
Maz, I have no idea for Si, it's not like he really needs much. Maybe clothes.
Riv is getting books. Maybe a toy I saw in D!ck Smith (hope that's allowed since it's not actually a swear word), but I was there last night and FORGOT to go look at it, so who knows. Maybe a new pair of shoes, I got him a pair of size 7 volleys last night, they looked waaay too big to me, but the 6's are getting too small, and Rans often tells me Riv has huge feet. I'll have to try them on him today.
maz - Nina is getting a new dolly with accessories, pretend cooking stuff & a 'my first' microwave. Emily is getting some new toys. Can't remember what though.
My parents have bought the girls a blow up pool & a ball pit, both to keep at their place.
The girls have so many toys and clothes it was hard to choose for them. We have 3 little bikes, 1 tricycle, swing set, pool & trampoline in the backyard!!
Nelle - Jett is in a size 8 *yep thats right bigfoot is alive and well * and they are just a teeny bit big but thats good cause itll last him awhile hopefully. I always buy big cause they seem to grow so fast! Ripley is a size 4 already. Im dreading the teen years of constant growing, but eh atleast I'll have the smallest feet hehehehe
Maz - I managed to get the cot quilt I wanted YAY and Ive bought a few little accesories like a green striped soft blanket and some new cotton wraps with bugs on them (also in the nursery colours). Just got to get my butt to spotlight and see what I can scrounge up there in the way of decorating. Oh and some brightly coloured toys. Ebay is fabulouso I also bought his coming home outfit today from Pumpkin Patch, I put a pic in my gallery of it, so appropriate I think! I will put pics in my gallery of the nursery in January when we've officially moved Rip out.
For christmas Jett is getting -
....a electric ride on Cars 4wheeler
....a Woody doll to go with his Buzzlightyear he got for bday
....some books
....A Vtech reading pen thingy and 2 books to go with that
....a cubby house for our backyard (obviously its really for both of them)
....a 4 lane matchbox raceway thingy
....a remote control Tonka Garbage truck (the remote contro is actually a torch so littlies can use it without having to actually steer, it just follows the light)
....a Tonka Fire engine with lights and sounds
Ripley is getting -
....some books
....a pusher/ride on thingy thats a beetle (Jett got one for his 1st birthday but refuses to share it and technically can still ride it so I figured once he outgrows his Rip and Gage still have two to ride)
....a Push&Go Thomas toy
....a Little People Jet plane (Jett has the bus)
....a toy vacuum because my Dyson is too expensive for him to use
....a learning toolbench thingy
I went a bit overboard I just cant help myself and keep laybying stuff I see. Granted Rips birthday is 1 week after christmas so some of his is split.
J isn't getting heaps from "santa" for Christmas, as he gets so spoilt by his aunts and Grandparents.
We have just shelled out a fair bit of Moola on a new bedroom suite for him, which inclides King single bed with trundle, Bedside table, tallboy, desk (that will stay flat packed in the box till he is older) and a toybox. It came as a package, and was cheaper than buying all seperately. (we didn't really want the desk) The doona cover is racing cars (J chose it) and my cousin who is an artist is doing me three canvasses in the exact match.
My dad has made him a tool box, and I have bought some tools to go in it. I amso have a few books put away, and some nice thick chalk for his board outside. I think that is really about it. He has so much, so don't want to go overboard.
Had a terrible couple of days. Ended up calling my obs, and getting in for an extra appt. She has put me back on the anti d's, and is sending me to a Counsellor. So a positive is that I am moving in the right direction.
Marni.. oh poor pet. Great to hear its all going well though. Jesse goes down anywhere between 7pm-8.30pm lately. Though i find is he has a later day sleep (not waking sometimes until 4.30pm) he has a harder time going to sleep. Not to mension the heat doesnt help.
Helen.. great to see you are home. The twins are gorgeous! Congrats again!
Meg.. hows J been lately. You poor thing going through that so often. WOuld it be because of low immunity? Hope your OB can offer some advice. Oh hun, Jesse eats like a sparrow too. But he eats when hes hungry i guess. Hes just so so fussy its so hard to know what to feed him. But have found vegemite is his thing so he has sandwiches, crackers, toast.. all with vegemite. Smoothies are also a hit as i make them for him in a special Mickey cup. I guess thats what you just have to do at this age.. go with what they like. Jesse wont touch any vegetables.. only fruit he'll eat is banana. I do give him multivitamins though so at least hes getting something good. Hopefully our boys both snap out of this soon.
Jodi.. how are you going with the girls. Oh dear, yeh maybe a gate. Can nina open doors? Unfortunately in our house Jesse has discovered how to do this too. Though im lucky that hes a people person and always wants to be where company is.
Shell.. how you feeling hun? Hope youre on the mend.
Nelle.. um.. only advice with River is to just use open ended questions. Offer him choices in his day. Eg, would you like a piece of toast or some cereal. Or would you like to wear a blue top or a white top. Things like that to encourage him to have to answer, rather than just a yes or no shake of the head. He will get there im sure.. by the sounds of it is just the way he is and his personality and as Meg said, i bet he just comes out with a sentence one day and shocks you completely
Annat.. oh jesse has one of those Tonka Firetrucks and loves it! Jett will love it.
Belle.. how you doing?
Nessa.. good luck with the open inspection hun.
Nothing much to report here.. Jesse and Keira are both well and sleeping through which is great. Keira is rolling and sits on my lap unaided.. wish she would not grow up so fast! Jesse is booked in to start day care next year. I think hes going to love it as he just loves kids so much.
Um.. alot of Jesse's christmas presents i bought months ago so will have to think, will probably find other things i cant remember..
But what i can is... hes getting a basket ball hoop, a Diego laptop, a big emergency vehicle carrier thing (has cars and stuff in it), My First Leappad and books, a bike (from IL's), a water and sand table (from mum & dad), a Wiggles remote control car + a Doodlepad thing (from great grandma).. thats all i cant think of atm.
Keira.. im still yet to get her something else, but from us so far shes getting a FP Pram that is a walker and a Learning Bunny thing. Its so hard to work out what to get her, shes still a little young for girly things and we have all baby toys still from Jesse. Might get her some fun teethers or something.
Kell- I know it sounds like Kiera is growing heaps fast. I saw the rolling video on FB so cute! How many days is Jesse going to go to daycare? Has he really gone to any care before?
Meg- I'm sorry to hear you are feeling down, I'm glad tho to see you can recognise it and make moves in the right direction, hopefully you'll start to pick up soon.
Marni- Glad the appt went well. Poor thing tho on being scared, hopefully she will start to grow out of it once she sees not all visits are bad.
Ness- How you doing today? You didn't sound too happy in your last post, hope things have improved.
Ash for xmas is getting her big girl bed (which is getting delivered tomor!) Decided that can be her present seeing as we'll be broke by time we buy mattress, doona, pillow, etc plus we want to paint a feature wall to match the pink that is on her bed and shelves.
Still have annoying cold, just dry cough that keeps me awake most of the night.
Shell- thanks for asking hun. yeah im actually feeling really good.. today i went and had a angel/reiki healing sesson. (sounds weird i know) but basically it help clear your charkra (energy vortexes of your body) and to clear away negative energy
sounds like a great present for her!!! i bet she will get enough toys and that from everyone else as well.. so wont really need more
Kell- yeah hope the house sells quickly not really looking forward to repeated house opens, hate the thought of someone going through my house. well done to little miss!!
Marni- oh dear, poor thing.. glad to hear things have improved for her though!!
As for xmas here..
well i have got the older girls a MIO pup each... thats it.. all i can really afford actually.. but they are getting heaps from my huge extended family they dont need heaps from me. Millana is gettign some gym thing..
i think they are getting trampaline from my mum.. so nothing i buy them will compare.. LOL
OMG Ness they are going to bug you constantly about the trampoline lol If its an adult size one great workout for you though! Jett has a junior tramp that he loves and I get on it sometimes (well obviously not now or I'll break it haha).
Cool about the reiki healing, I bet you feel great now!
Ness - I dont think it matters - as long as they have something to open they will be thrilled!
Maz - She now only has to have yearly urinalysis's and blood pressure checks!! I am very happy
Kel - Keira is growing soo fast, very cute though.
Meg- I'm sorry your not on top of things but the meds dont matter. Without a happy mummy you wont have a happy baby
Jodi - Is Nina letting Em sleep yet?
Tiana is getting a trampoline for christmas (to save our bed springs), a baby play centre and a couple of dolls. I might get her some puzzles as well but thats about it
Sorry I forgot what everyone else said. Hope everyone is well though!
Has anyone heard from Laurin? She must be really close to having bub or have I missed something?
I also realised that I think I am the last to have only one baby or at least no intention of having a second at the moment. Is that right?
Hopefully she will grow out of it now she doesnt have to go as much.
* and they are just a teeny bit big but thats good cause itll last him awhile hopefully. I always buy big cause they seem to grow so fast! Ripley is a size 4 already. Im dreading the teen years of constant growing, but eh atleast I'll have the smallest feet hehehehe
