Marni- Good to hear things are going well, pretty much does sound like Tiana is TT herself, yay on only the one accident, TT didn't work too well for us so gonna leave it few months now and maybe then she'll be willing to go herself.
Rach- I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Its great you don't have to travel to see the specialist every month. You just never know when its gonna happen for you again.
I hate the heat, so draining, thank god for air con.
We are finally cool...................but its cause of severe winds Catch 22 huh, severe storm warning so we've battened down the hatches but its sooooooooo nice feeling the cool breeze that we're risking an hour of all the doors open.
Marni, happy belated birthday!
Rach, good to see you around again!
Ugh this belly is no fun anymore, Im in some serious pain. I feel like a freakin blimp *sigh*
We're alright, we've been through enough wet seasons now, and this is only beginning A lot more to come unfortunately.
Great to hear youre going well Marni. One accident in undies is fantastic! I let Nina take the lead. I think that's the best way, let them do it when they're ready.
Poor Nina got very upset this morning at 5am, we heard her wake up screaming out 'Mummy!' then she raced down the hallway, past our door, and went to the front door! Still screaming 'mummy!'.
I think because after I'd put her to bed last night I went to the shop to get milk and bread, and my brother (who is staying with us ATM) told me when I got back that Nina had been up and walking around the house. I looked in on her, and she was alseep in bed. But I think she thought I had gone last night, which is why she went to the front door screaming out for me She insisted that I hold her hand when she went back to bed. It was very cute.
And I've woken up with a yucky cold and sore throat. Hopefully it doesn't get any worse, I hate colds.
Sorry ive been a bit awol lately.
Jesses been sick, then i was sick, now hes sick again..
Have started medication for my anxiety. Was getting bad anxiety and panic attacks about Jesse throwing up. Seems to be slowly making a difference which is great.
Jesse had his orientation day for preschool yesterday. Hes still not 100% but he loved playing there. His first day is tomorrow so will be interesting. Is going to be sad not having him there all day but will be nice to have 1 on 1 with Keira.
Nelle.. have pmed you the girl recipe we used for Keira.
Jodi.. i saw Nina's video of her dancing and singing on facebook.. shes so cute! Its great to see them in videos, you kind get a better look at what they are like other than in photos iykwim.
Oh i wish you girls could send some of that rain down our way.. is going to be 40 here today.
Marni.. ive been going through problems with anxiety lately also. If you ever need to chat im here ok. Have you seen your doctor about it? I went and saw mine the other week. Shes put me on some meds and they seems to be working pretty good so far.
We'll be trying for #3 towards the end of the year.. so theres a similar age gap as there is with Jesse and Keira. I love their age gap. Jesse has been so good and gentle with Keira. He really really loves her. As shes starting to move more hes loving her more as soon she'll be able to play with him. Re the sex.. i would like a little boy for my last.. but in saying that im really not phased which sex we get. So yeh not sure if we'll try a boy recipe or just go with the flow.
Good to hear from you Marni, and great that Tiarna is doing well with TT. J told me today that he needed to go to the loo, and got most of it in the potty, so that's a start. he is calling both wees and poos, "poo" so I never know which one he actually needs to do.
Kell - It is good that you are being proactive about the anxiety, and taking steps towards making yourself better.
I still have anxieties around J's eating and general development. (I can just see maz now saying "Megan he is fine!!") In fact the last few days he has eaten like a sparrow, but I am trying to remain calm, and just go with it. Lot less stress for us both, and like many have said, he will not starve.
Shell - I too am feeling the heat today. Not liking it at all. That's how I wonder how you tropical girls cope being preg in the heat!
AnnaTA - I was just thinking about you. This preg seems to be going much better for you than your last.
Meg, Riv (aka the toddler vacuum) has started to get a bit picky too at times. I've noticed that he's ravenous while he gets taller, but then will pick at food for a while afterwards. There's food there for him, so he will never go hungry.
And still not talking, though he says something that sounds like mum, and loves to yell GOOOOOOOOOO! and then run somewhere. Think that's from racing my dad places.
His room looks like a prison cell at the moment, there's just a bed. Oh and some toys, guess that's not very prison-cell like. Because he kept piling things up and climbing. He was climbing on a toy trolley last night and switching his light on and off. Way to get his trolley confiscated anyway.
Nelle- Lol, maybe you have the next aussie stuntman in the making!
Meg- Maybe too with the heat he just doesn't have much appetite, I'll join Maz and say he is fine Megan! The heat is so much harder being preg I'm really feeling it even on days that are warm but not overly hot.
Kell- Good to hear from you. Its good you took steps to work on the anxiety and starting to feel improvements. Good luck with Jesse first day tomor, prolly be harder for you than him. Its great he is so good with Keira.
Jodi- Poor Nina, Ash has funny bad dreams, one night she woke crying for more ice-cream, another night she was babbling on about Dora! Hope your feeling better.
Sad news, that friend that had m/c little while back that I mentioned was preg again and looks like another m/c, shes been having spotting and her levels are quite low for 4.5 weeks. I'm praying that maybe she got her dates wrong and the spotting is nothing to worry about, she of course is upset and worries about ttc again if she has to go thru it for a 3rd time. I don't know what to say or do for her.
Good news, a couple we're friends with had a baby boy today, going to see him Friday, wish I didn't have to work tomor cause I want cuddles now.
hi ladies hope you and your families are all well!
been sick for a while now and so have the kids
ive been so exhausted ... got soo much house work to do! arghhh
on a good note my little Tiarna can now climb onto the couch. she climbs up and then runs around on the couch and gives me multiple heart attacks haha... hmm i dont know if its a good note now??? but its so cute and she is just soo cheeky.
got a busy week ahead.. the pergola and paving are gettin done yayyyy and the kiddies playground too
ive still gotta organise our house warning and tia's bday .
It is hard to believe that so many of you now have 1 year olds as well as our Sept bubs/ Where has time gone??!
I am doing some serious nesting here. This morning I have vac'd the floor, and mopped, cleaned both bathrooms, changed the sheets. Then went into bubs room and sorted some clothes, while J "helped" me. Also worked out what to take to hossy for bub as well. Her room is really nearly ready now. Just got to get some nappies. (not doing cloth on newborn) and that's about it. Oh, and I suppose I should put together the nappy bag. My cousin still has the crandle, but I am getting it off her in a week or two. It all seems to organsied. What am I missing??
Shelll have ytou packed your hossy bag yet? I have only half packed mine. Still using everything.
Meg- you are so organised! I'm so slack this time, I reakon I'll be packing my bag in labour! We've done nothing, spare room still full crap, still gotta go thru Ash's old clothes and sort girl ones to uni sex ones, clean and set up all stuff- bassinet, cahnge table etc. Only got 39 days til due date!
Ambz- Hope yr all feeling better, when is Tia's birthday?
Big families...
Jeds mum is one of 13 his dad one of 3
My mum is one of 11 my dad one of 12
Jed is one of 7
Im one on 5 (7 is you include mum's SB's)
I would have loved another one but jed has put his foot down plus my tubes have been taken out this time round . Jed wears boxers all the time so thats probably why I have so many boys lol
Just had my nephew here for the last week...was great, such a good kid. He told his mum that he wasnt's to live with us
MEg - Vy is the biggest picky eater...she grazes all day and wont eat a proper meal..drives me insane
Rach - got my fingers crossed soemthing works for you soon
OMG Shell how relaxed are you this time around with your bag? hahahah you nutter
My little buggerlugs is still asleep...god he is such a champ with his sleep...7.30 last night until now without waking up. About time I got one that slept good...none of my others did and im still having prob's with vy ever other night. Mateauz is now full time walking...PMSL at the way he does it...both hands in the air ans stomps around
Can I just start with that I am sick of having to "type the word frog" before I post !!??
Maz - Funny that it is your last that is the easiest. so manyt people I know say that! Glad it was nice to have your nephew over.
It is mega hot here today. J is in CC today, and I am not a work today, so just flaking on the couch. Prepared dinner already so dont have to do anything later. I might even have a snooze.
J is still having trouble with Eczema. I took him to a natropath, who made a good point that the Eczema started after all the gastro that we had. So just went and picked up a probiotic for him yesterday. Will give it to him for a while and see if it makes a difference. Also we have made some small progress on the TT front. As long as I have no nappy or jocks or anything on him, he will tell me if he needs to do a wee or poo and will go on the potty. SO I have been leaving him bum free as much as I can. makes a difference that we don't have carpet.
Oh - I am watching "saving babies" on foxtel, and now I have started to cry. I won't say what they are doing, as it is just too sad.....
Hahaha Meg. I can laugh, cos my computer's not affected for some reason! It is warm hey, although my house is still feeling fairly cool.
No good about J's Eczema, let us know how you go.
We've got big families in my family too (have I already said this??). Both my parents are one of 7.
And Rans is a jocks man, so we go against that boxers trend.
Ah Si's got the crankles. Better give him some food or something.
Just thought Iwould pop in and say G"DAY!....so.....G'DAY!
Hop everyone is doing well and loving every minute of our two year old lives....everyday it seemsBailey has learn't something new. He is starting Preschool on Wednesday. It is only a 15 min walk from our place but it is forecast to be a stinking 36 degree day. ARGH! DH is working away all week and I don't drive still but we will manage. He only needs to go up for two hrs so I might go early in the morning.....
Noah is almost 9 months old now!!! this time around, the days fly by. No counting down or waitng for the next milestone to happen.....they just appear like magic. He is the opposite of Bailey who was a text book baby. Noah has his own way of doing things..his own style of crawling too....I have no words to even decsribe how he does it. He loves his big brother....who loves him back so special.
Thinking about ttc #3 this yr...will TRY and wait till Noah is one this time so I can enjoy his first birthday without morning sickness or that horrible early pregnancy fatigue. I am sure some of you know what I mean. I was about 6 weeks for Bailey first bday and loved it but felt yuk all day. lol
Well, I have been back on BB for a while now...will try and visit more often as I have my own lappy now which is good. The boys play on the floor or outside and I can take the net with me!!!! Love it!
Have not read anyones posts but for everyone who has their own little bussiness going -well done! I take my hat off to you..I don't know how you do it. I was thinking about making slices and biscuits etc to sell......just a pipe dream atm. I took up Avon instead.Just for me though although some friends do place orders from time to time. Can you hear it..."Avon calling!".
Well, time for Noahs bottle and some lunch for us hungry people.
can I have a little boast moment, Jack had his first day nap in jocks yesterday he went to toilet 1/2 hr before he went to sleep then slept 2 1/4 hrs and didn't go for another 20min after his nap so happy for him
and then today we went to pool and he was so brave, jack used to be real good in pool but this summer he seems scared and clings on to me in the big pool well todayhe had arm band floats on and he kept lifting legs to kick and just holding onto my hands, then we used a noodle and instead of clinging to me he just floated on the noodle while I held noodle and not him
So Jett is the only one not TT now right? Maybe I should get off my butt and give it a crack.
3 is our magic number unfortunately even though all our parents come from big families...........My dad is one of 7, my mum is one of 6, my MIL is one of 9 and my FIL is one of 4 (boys mind you lol Nanna is such a dainty thing to have had 4 strapping sons ) Everyone still thinks I'll have another one but theyll be waiting til heck freezes over haha Maybe if we lives near family I would consider it but doing 3 under 3 on my own with no support is hard enough, Im not a complete masochist!
Jetts bedtime issues are shocking lately and I have no idea why He just flatly refuses to go to bed without a massive fight and atleast a 1/2hr of popping in and out and screaming for me. Last night eventually I gave in and let him in our bed to fall asleep, I nearly slapped myself when I heard the uttered "Get in here with mum" He fell asleep after talking to himself for 5min and then I turfed him back in his own room at 12:45am when I got up to pee (imagine heavily pregnant me stumbling down the hallway in the dark lugging 14kg of toddler over my shoulder.......) I wont have him doing it when the baby arrives though so Im struggling to figure out what to do. I got a book from the library about toddler sleep solutions so might try that but anyone here got any advice/idea's? Once he's asleep he's right til 8:30am most days (with the odd morning of a 7am wake up and me saying "Get in with me, mummy is still sleeping" so he shooshes me back to sleep lol)
