Maz- Thats so great bout no night nappies, we still haven't even got the day done! Df is on school holidays next week so while he is home we're planning on trying again with Ash, I know she is ready, she knows when she needs to go but seems to have a fear of letting go without a nappy.
I love the things they come out with too, its so funny sometimes, even the naughty words lol.
Hi Zada, welcome to our group!
Jodi- wow 5 weeks! Can't see my Emily doing that! Thanks for the name by the way, I'd never really thought of the name til you had your Emily then I thought to myself yeah it is a nice name. I'm sure you'll talk Heath into #3 soon enuff!
I'm looking forward to easter too, I love chocolate! Will put a little egg hunt on for Ash and my nephew.
Maz - you can borrow my newborn any time!! How cute about Vy singing on the loo. J still prefers to sit on a potty. But not complaining as still much easier to clean than nappies. His fave is still to go outside and wee on the grass. In the past few weeks (since E) he has been wetting his pants in the car. Anyway started the whole - you can have a chocolate if you dont do wees in the car, and lo and behold been dry ever since. he gets 4 mini M&M's. He was even telling me that he was going to do wees in the car!! Naughty boy!!!
Jodi - Wow I wish E would slepp through. She is 5 weeks now, and still up at least once or twice a night. J slept through from 13 weeks, so I am still hoping.
Chrissy - It was probably good for you to have some time away and reflect on what has happened.
MrsT- We ususally camp over easter, but DH has to work this year, so taking it easy. Might go to one of the holiday houses with my mum.
Ok well I am going to go to bed while E is asleep and hopefully catch up on a few zzz's
thanks for askign after me Maz doing ok lots of vomiting but OB told me today that it is a sign of a strong pg saw :heart: again today so still going strong looks like I will have c-sect last week of Oct unless I get GD again then be mid-oct so yeah beside vomiting and feeling liek crap all day every day doing good
Huge congratulations AnnaT to you, DH and the boys on baby River.
Meg & Shell - how are you doing with everything, it is hard work isn't, the whole newborn and balancing the needs of your toddler, etc, etc.....it is just all a juggling act in the beginning and you just have to do whatever works at the time to stay sane and away from the valium lol. I still havn't got things downpat here and now Finny seems to be waking more than he was a few weeks ago....Meg, you asked about the sticker chart - yeah what Shar suggested, I just have the basic tasks, cleaning teeth, eating dinner, tidying playroom and then going to bed happy - have been slack with doing it lately though.
Maz - these two year olds are just the funniest aren't they, they make you laugh and then one second later drive you nuts...
Zada - welcome to the crazy september 06 mummies.
Okay, better go, we are off to NZ for three weeks on Good Friday, can't wait. It is just me and the kids going as DH goes back to South Africa next thursday.
Maz, i think i have vys twin here..i also have a toilet singer
congrats anna on the birth of river
rach, all the best, and feeling so sick is a great sign.
hope all the new bubbas are behaving for you mums.
not much here to report...im selling my bike, i have no time to ride it, and my daughter got a job at maccas, so now i dont get as much money from centrlink, so i will be struggling to afford to register it and run it, so its on ebay now..have had to way alot of stuff up, im only left with $100 a f/n after rent/food/power/phone..so i think i need to find a job or, im thinking of doing family day care, if my landlord will let me, its the only thing i can think of that will earn me money and i dont have to ofload the kids at daycare, and i can also claims lots in tax..so im looking into it atm.
chrissy - a friend of mine did family day care for a few years and it was fantastic money, sooooo many things you can claim on tax. Definitely look into it.
I did a huge post last night but it got gobbled up, so I'll have to come back later to retype it.
Chrissy- FDC a good idea then you can still look after your own kids as well as make some money. Sucks that you had to sell your bike.
Laurin- Have good time in NZ, you staying with your parents? Will be great if they're there to help you out with the kids instead you doing everything on yr own.
Rach- Hope all is still going well. How many weeks are you now?Hopefully the vomiting will settle soon, keep looking at the positive side of it.
We decided seeing as Df is on holidays to attempt TT again with Ash and had some success! She is definately ready now when I tried 3 months ago I can see now she wasn't quite ready. When she had training pants on she'd just wee in them and the ask for fresh pair so I just left her with nothing on down there and was so cute I saw her run for toilet and she had done a tiny dribble on play room floor then must've realised and quickly went toilet, she can hold on too now for few hours whereas last time she couldn't. She wee'd again 2nd time before we put bedtime nappy on, so yay success! Poo not so good, poor thing came out of toy room crying saying poo on floor, we just quickly cleaned it up and said its ok but she was quite upset by it.
Hope everyone is going well. Bit crazy here still. Off to the Paeds tomorrow as there is something wrong with Tallulah's muscles, particularly her left side. Here's hoping its from being squashed in the womb and physio can fix it.
Oh helen how worrying or you. Let us know how she goes. And rest assure physio does do wonders with babies. How is everyone else? how are you going?
I am going NUTS....Thats right you heard it.Im running round with my head off and i just dont know where to begin....cleaning,sewing,cooking,sorting out the fights i cant wait till june...i so need it.
Thanks Caddie. All went well, he cant see any kind of permanent or physical nerve or muscle problems, just to be sure he is going to send her to a special physio that looks after babies born premmie to keep an eye on her and examine her. So a huge sigh of relief.
You poor thing Caddie, have you managed to get any rest yet? I am having heaps of trouble with Eithan. I swear he spends the whole day screaming, throwing tantrums. He refuses to go on the potty even though he is fine once he is sitting on it. He demands to wear trousers over his undies and then proceeds to wee in them. He takes off his shoes and socks when we go out anywhere. He really is a terrible two yr old. I feel like I am pulling out my hair, he is more trouble than the twins. I know a bit of it would be attention seeking, and we do try to spread ourselves across all kids but ugh! So I really feel for you not getting a break from the girls it must be so hard. You do a great job doing that and having your own business, kudos to you.
Well I should be in bed, but this is my only quiet time, so I might make school lunch for Bella and then head to bed.
ETA: I think Eithan might have asthma, anyones elses child/ren have asthma?
take care ladies.

Helen, my toddler's a pain in the butt at times too. Tantrum central here some days. Isn't served his drink on a silver platter? Tantrum. Can't reach it because he deliberately doesn't stretch far enough for some angry reason? Tantrum. Knocks the drink over? Tantrum. It's like he has a split personality, one half deliberately sabotages himself, and the other half gets upset about it. Crazy kid.
Helen- No asthma here, maybe post in the medical conditions forum see what info you can get? Thats good news with Tallulah's appt, when do you go see the physio?
Touch wood we don't get too many tantrums here, Ash is more of a drama queen over things, she puts on these big acts with facial expressions, body language, over the smallest things, quite funny sometimes.
Our TT is going ok, yesterday no accidents, yet today she hasn't wee'd at all in toilet and twice on floor. But I know its expected, she loves her new Dora undies I bought her.
just quick hello been somewhat busy of late also for some reason have lost interest in my comp I finally get everything back and working and well I can't be bothered
Shell you asked how far I am now 9 weeks 4 days today doing well still uke: once sometimes twice a day but all good starting to not feel quite so sick all day which helps as my house is filthy and in dire need of a good clean so this weekend thats the plan for here
also to the girls I email etc could you please email me as I have no-ones addy's except for some reason caddie's and chrissy have stayed on my comp but everyone else's has gone
Caddie, Helen, Nelle - Where do I begin with the tantrms/bad behaviour. and he is up half the night.
E barely sleeps in the day, so I have them both cryinh/whinging half the day. And DH seems to think it is ok to go away for 5 days next week because he needs the break. WFT!!! It is ME who is home with 2 screaming kids all day. He is on night shift tonight, so I am once again on my own. I am dreading the nights. It is so long with no help and maybe an hour or two of sleep, as I am going between the two of them. J used to be the most awesome sleeper. Not any more though.....
We got tickets for movieworld and had to pay for her cause she will be 3 when we go (1 week after her birthday)...and the stuff she comes out with...OMG...
