Adele- Do a search on the net, I always do that to find recipes, cheaper than a cookbook and you'll get lots of options.
Nelle- Your new backyard sounds fantastic, that would be a great present, i just need a backyard first. It'll be good for when River starts getting on the move.
Well I went into work today for a xmas arvo tea and Kris Kringle, lots of fun and Ashleigh was the star of the whole thing! I stuffed my face while she was passed around, she didn't grizzle once and was worn out she just fell asleep in my arms.
I wish my place would cool down, can't believe after all this heat that xmas day is only gonna be 16!

Hi girls... I can't get hold of Belle, so no update at the moment. Once I know I'll let you guys know.
Will check back in later to do personals etc.

Allo Allo ladies!
Merry Christmas to me........AF has arrived :wall: Atleast this should be the end of the random bleeding but we shall see, Im not to optimistic. Dh is still being a brat about TTC, even though he knows Im having all sorts of problems and really want to TTC again. We wouldnt start til Feb and then have a break in August as I dont want to be due in May 08 cause thats when we move.
Bub has been cranky today, must be his poor mouth hurting him. Plus his 12wk growth spurt. Cant believe he is 12 weeks old on SUNDAY. Time is flyyyyyyyyying by.
I do have a ? to ask - is anyone else' bub trying to stand everytime you sit them in your lap, or just in general? Jett is doing it all the time, keeps pushing his legs up no matter what position he's in.
-
AnnaT- Ash does that all the time, she loves it and looks all around the place and smiles as if she is so proud of herself!
-
Xander does that all the time too AnnaT!

Suffering From The Mother Of Mothers Hangover Today, So I Have To Catch Up With All The News:confused:
-
Hey girls an idea for you all, people always say how they forget what there bubs do etc cause time goes so quick, those baby diaries are okay but they only have specific things, so what i've done and will try to do every 3 months while Ash is developing so quickly is to type up a story sort of in letter form of all the little and big things of Ashleigh's first 3 months, I included little stories and things that she liked so that way i couldn't forget them.
-
Wow, I'm still struggling to keep up but I'm trying!
AnnaT, Tom will be 13 weeks (and 3 months) on Monday and was born the day before Jett. That would make him 12 weeks already....goes quickly doesn't it!!
Belle, hope you and Julia are alright. How scary for you.
Hi to everyone else.
I'm really tired today, probably just keeping up with two boys, a MIL staying, a FIL in hossy and Christmas 2 days away!! Tom's slept well today but has been unsettled in between. Last night he woke 3 times. Pity he's not like Jack who slept through from 6 weeks.
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Had a good today we went to the beach in the morning and the kids had a run around and swim.
Does anyone have this? Ruby will go to bed,cry but go to sleep then she wakes 1/2hr later crying and wants me to settle her? I wonder whats going on in her little mind?
The next door kids give me the irrates! The parents send them outside at 815pm at night and they jump on the trampoline right near our fenceline screaming and carrying on.They are 8 and 9yrs. I put millana and ruby to bed between 730-8pm and it makes it hard.I havnt told them to be quiet as i suppose they have the right to do what they like but geez its hard to bite my tounge,i must be old!
Our car needs a new clutch so it will set me back $1250.Better than a new engine i suppose but more money i need to find.
Sorry for the whinge,noone else around to listen to me!!
-
Oh F'curry Caddie, its not the new car thats bust is it? Why not go over and ask your neighbours or tell them that your kids are little and go to bed early, and could their kids be a bit more quiet or move the tramp? My neighbours are good like that, if not I'll come over with a slug gun and shoot the kids on the bum. They'll soon learn to be quiet! lol
Shell - i love that idea. Ive been tkaing pics of Vy with the same teddy on the 2nd of every month just so I can see how much she's grown.
AnnaT - Vy does it to mate. Natural reflex's I think.
So sorry for the lack of personals, I didn't get to bed until 1am and then Vy (who slept through for mummy) woke me at 7am and i still feel half asleep. I know im over tired cause Im dizzy and my eyes are blurry. Ive still got so much to do. I ended up going grocery shopping with my mum at 11pm last night at coles and it was packed. BUT i was so tired that I forgot half my stuff and have to go back out again this morning. So going for a wake up shower then off again, after I hang up 2 loads of washing
later ladies

Oh and thanks for the chrissy card, i got it yesterday but forgot to mention it!

-

Our neighbours are friendly but have gone weird since we had ruby and our landlord argued with them over a fence!
-

maz- wish they did that here have the shops open till when ever it would be so much easier. our shops are only open till 9pm grrr.
littlep - lol at going crazy in toysrus hope you had a funny shopping in there i always do lol.i always find simon playing with something lol.
caddie - ahhh no that is alot of money to find in such a short time. and with the kids making to much noise i would have done what maz said or used a bat lol.
annat - riley is doing that i read that it helps they get the muscles morking for when they are ready to crawl.
mel - mum is going to try ours out today. it sounds nice thanks for your idea.
nelle - thats was only half the house done lol. my house looked like ww6 hit it big time lol.

i am having a grrrr at my pram. i bought the swivelrite deluxe by steelcraft, and have already had it in for repair once (one of the folding catches was not working properly) now same catch is faulty plus one of the back wheels keeps falling off. not happy. so i rang the babyshop and told them and they are getting on to the rep (of course how easy will that be with christmas etc.) and we are going away on the 2nd of jan and there is no way i can be without my pram. ok. rant over!
have a lovley lead up to christmas girls. feels like christmas is over for us as we celebrated early, but we are off to my mum's today for lunch, then to my stepmum's family on christmas day. i am sure ainsleigh will get even more spoilt than she already has been!
-
Wow at all the bubs sleeping so well. Tom woke every 2 hours last night. I think it's the 12 week growth spurt. aagghhh!
Shellbell, MIL has done most of the washing, folding and ironing since she's been here so that is a huge help.
Caddie, how awful to need a new clutch at this time of the year.
Hi to everyone.
-
melanie it is awful considering we just forked out money for my car not so long ago and used our deposit for a house :(
Hope everyone has a fab chrissy,i am going to mum and dads chrissy day and MIL boxing day.Which will be interesting as we have not spoken to Sil for 2 weeks as hubby and her argued about courtesy,in which she has none!The bil is going to a concert and bringing his mate and didnt even ask hubby.they are so rude.1st so called xmas lunch with them we had in a long time and he has to bring a mate for company.He is a pilick.
chow,until later on!!!

Hi Girls
Thanks so much for all your posts and thanks so much Anna for calling to see how I was too. I am slowly recovering, it was such a shock to drop Julia when I tripped over, thank god Mum was here with me and we rushed to hospital and Julia got monitored for 4 hours. Thankfully no bruises and she feeded fine without throwing up and her temp was normal and she was alert. She seems fine now, I am so grateful that nothing serious occured, I am still scared to drop her again. The shock has made my depression worse so now im taking more medication so hopefully I will get better soon and have less panic attacks, sorry I havent been online or responded to anyone, I am getting better and will be more socialable soon I promise.
I want to wish everyone a Merry Xmas with there babies!!! so exciting their first Xmas!!
Helen - thanks so much for your package! I got it on Wednesday thank you so much for the cute outfit!!! and thanks for the card too thanks for being a great friend.

Hi Ladies
Belle - nice to see you back on BB - take it easy - glad little Julia is okay.
Caddie - Bl**dy neighbours - my neighbour always appears at the most annoying moments - like when I am going to rush down to the shops in a hurry she's at the door to tell me something totally insignificant or get me to sign a petition!!!
MelanieR - Rylee woke every two hours last night - I am knackered - my eye keeps twitching and feeling pretty grumpy.
Grrr at DH trying to upset Rylee's routine and trying to tell me shes not tired when she is!!
lots of grizzling going on here - sorry about the whinge.
hugs to mums & bubs
laurin
-
glad to hear you are both ok belle.
-
Thats so true laurin and when i say im going out they still dont get the hint!!
Hiya belle,what can i say except big hugs an hope you have a fantastic christmas.
We had visitors tonight and millana threw such a hiisy fit.Real tired.I couldnt put jammies on her or anything.Just forced a nappy on her and then sat with her until she fell asleep.My poor visitors were left literally holding the baby for 1/2 hr whilst i sorted her out!! Then ruby played p too.The only good thing was i couldnt eat too much domino's so it saved my diet!!! as i was too busy dealing with the kids.Hubby has gone to the pub with the other hubby now so me and my bed too me!!!!

Morn all after a good night Fri night last night not so good, Ash was unsettled all evening, and woke 3 times overnight, then was up at 7. She is funny though, when she woke at 2 she was just chatting to herself and I thought she could go back to sleep but instead she was getting really excited and squealing and laughing. I went in and shes moved herself way up to the other end of the cot, all her blankets are kicked off, couldn't help but laugh with her.
caddie- Sounds like you had a fun night with the kids! Glad you could look at the positives like saving your diet!
laurin- My Df is just started learning tired signs, he used to think if her eyes are open wide shes not tired and I had to keep telling him that she just does that stare when tired.
*Belle*- Hugs belle, keep your chin up, theres light at the end of the tunnel, PND can be slow process but you will get there in the end.
rikki- God that is a pain in the ass, I go everywhere with my pram, left it in the car one day and Df went off to work and i felt lost without it just that one day!
1 sleep til xmas I'm so excited, even though Ash is to little to understand I'm still going to leave food out for Santa for her. My nephew is so cute he decided yeaterday he was going to give Santa a present so he's wrapped up 4 of his matchbox cars for him.
-
Hi everyone
Belle - glad to hear all is going ok, a huge hug for you mate.! Such a shock, i am so relevied to hear that you are both ok.
Sorry no personals must get ready for Christmas!

Me : Vouchers, clothes, wine
DH, vouchers, clothes
DD : My little pony books and pony's, books, clothes, nickers, swimmers, hat, handbag, bike & helmet, backback, playfood
Alexander: Dress me elmo ( little young but cute) Lamaze things for play, pram rattles things, clothes, clothes, pool chair floaty, bunnykins bowl and spoon set, soft toys,

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!I hope that you all have a lovely day with great food and great company!
:cool: :cool:
BBL to see how everyones days was .. Sleep well everyone!
sent an email to you all however i got rejected by Ambz anbd Rikki, maybe yor hotmails are full?? so i didnt forget you just got rejected! i sent them to the emails in your profiles xoxo
-
Thanks Little.P for the e-mail, your little ones are absolutely gorgeous!
-
i'm very slack at checking my hotmail lp...so might have expired again:oops: . i'll log on now if you're able to resend it :)
-
I'll tell you girls one good thing about the colder weather - the slurpee machines don't run out of slurpee cos they're not as popular! :P
Good to see you Belle!
Yep got your email little P, your kids are cute!
Lol at Ashleigh Shell, she sounds like she was having a good time.
That sounds like a full on night Caddie, hope you get a rest today.
Oh ouch Laurin at Rylee waking so often last night! Riv went 13hrs between feeds, but didn't sleep til 11 last night! Just lay in his bed staring at things :rolleyes: So right now he's grizzling to the max lying in his rocker, cos he's overtired. Just SLEEP River!! Lol.
Well, Rans, the good man, has gone to get the Christmas day groceries and buy something for his brother - he's decided an IOU isn't a good idea (I asked if I could say 'I told you so' and he said no :P). He was relatively cheerful when he left...not sure he realises just how busy it's going to be there! Ah well. I'll just be extra sympathetic when he gets home! I'd better finish my slurpee (well, we go past 7/11 on the way home from Church, and I had to wish the 7/11 man a Merry Christmas...) and then get cracking! Since Christmas is here tomorrow I'd better have a clean house all set up hey! xo
A HUUUUUUGE Merry Christmas to all you girls and your families, hope your day is filled with with joy and laughter! xo

:P :P Merry Christmas Chickens:P
Im sorry Ive been AWOL - Ive been so flat out with the kids and getting our packing done as we're off to Geelong for 6 days straight after christmas for Jed's brothers Wedding. I was that tired yesterday, I pulled the roast pork out of the freezer to defrost instead of the ham that I was ment to for tonight
Bell - hon dont stress to much, accidents happen and both Julia and you are alright so no more beating yourself up. If Geoffry gives you any more $hit, just push him out the window, has he got insurance? lol.
Caddie - my email wont let me email out and I dont know why but my answer is YES please hon. I'll ring you when I get home after the New Year. Hope both girls are behaving for you now and that you can relax a bit
Rikki - grrr at pram being busted. I just bought a bertini koko stroller for $50 of ebay. Its only 2 months old to and looks brand new. I had a steelcraft with the boys and it feel apart on me aswell. Hope you get it sorted before you go away
Everyone else, have a fabulous christmas with your beautiful little babies. I wont be on again now until after the New Year but I'll be thinking of each and everyone of you. Enjoy the festive season, be careful and take heaps of pics of your family. Thank you all for being such wonderful friends and support to me and Vyolett this past year. I really dont know what i would have done without you all
All my love, hugs and friendship into the New Year

hello mummies!!!
just dropping in to wish you all a fantastic and safe christmas with your familys and gorgeous babies!!!
we are going to christmas mass tonight as a family with my parents and hubbys sister and her family. im so excited as savanna has the most gorgeous little dress to wear. she wants to look around at everyone and stare.
last night we went to church and the lady sitting next to us rubbed savannas hand so savanna grabbed her finger and would not let it go. it was pretty funny cause the lady had to sit there leaning over till savanna let go of her finger as she has a really tight grip lol
savanna has been at my parents house since friday. i visited her there yesterday. they just love having her and she is such a good girl for her grand parents.
i spent all morning cleaning the house! im exhausted!!
time to get ready for church..
WISHING YOU ALL A FANTASTIC AND WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!! MAY YOU ALL GET EVERYTHING YOU WISH FOR!!!

Hi all,
we had a great xmas, went to my aunts where she cooked for 19 people! Don't know how she did it. Ash got quite a few good presents, the day totally wore her out though, all she had was a half hour nap and sleeps in the car on the way to and from. At my aunts we do a crap present giving where we just find junk and laugh who can give the crappest present. I got given a pottery thing I made my grandma when I was like 12-13 and a packet of tea that use by date was 1991!
Ash is still being little unsettled, can she be teething this early? I mean shes always enjoyed putting things in her mouth but just seems she's chewing on stuff so much more and drooling alot more. She wants the booby more and not cause she hungry more for comfort.
Hope everyone else had a fantastic day and I bet all our bubs were the stars of xmas!
-
HAPPY BOXING DAY!!!!
I hope you all had a WONDERFUL day yesterday... we were flat out from about 8am... we all woke up and opened our pressies, then it was GO GO GO... Had to get the roast on and get the vegies ready... etc, but it was the best day... I loved having my family here and my house looked great, everyone had a great day...
Kiara was spoilt rotten... as was I!!!
Kiara - Clothes, clothes, books, books, play gym (that turns into a rocker thing), a bath mobile, a gold braclet, jolly jumper, TMX Elmo (from us), oh more clothes and a first Xmas decoration for the tree...
Me - Diamond earrings, Willow Tree Sculpture (sp) x 2, New Kettle, Voucher to get a pair of Crocs, pair of havanas, wine bottle stoppers, some cash! oh and a new knife block set!
DH - $400 in bunnings vouchers to buy a lawn mower - I wrapped up a few little things in a BIG box and stuck pictures to the vouchers from me of lawnmowers so he knew what they were for... he got clothes and a few little novelty things for his bar!
Together we got a new cuttlery set from mum and dad!
So we did realllllllllly well... DH is watching the cricket now (YAWN!!!) and Kiara is sleeping, so I am just sitting in my PJ's here on BB...
OK for some personals...
Belle - So glad your doing better, and of course that Julia is fine... I can only imagine how you felt, but don't blame your self... accidents happen, and everyone is ok... HUGS matey!
Rikki - You prob wont read this, but I had a steelcraft pram too, and hated it, so i went and bought a new one, I got the phil and teds one... thank god I love it. I am so glad I bought it... I was going to sell my old one, but just threw it away... Hoipe you get to the bottomn of your pram saga!
Shell - WOW 19 people, Your Aunt ROCKS!!! I had 8 here and was a little stressed at times!
AnnaT - Great pics... your so organised!
