Babies Born September 2006 #30

Sorry to those with bad nights but I have to brag ours are improving (touch wood). Ash slept from her dreamfeed at 10:30 til 3:40! I don't think shes done 5 hours straight for a very long time.

As for the ant prob my parents rave obout that powder stuff you sprinkle outside that stops them coming in but no good sugeestions about what to do that they are laready inside. We get ****roaches instaed. :(

Kell- The chicken just had melted butter mixed with honey, dijon mustard and small amount curry powder and salt then I just mixed the chicken through it, poured onto baking dish and in oven for about hour. So easy.

Rach75- Hope the scan goes alright, your not having a good time health wise! Hopefully whatever the prob is easily fixed.

I better go wash last nights dishes now before it gets too hot to be over a hot sink.

hey girls,

its a hotty here today 38 and 40 over the weekend ahhh i feel like crap when its hot.

hope all you girls that had a bad night get some rest today.

Well ill be back later going to do some washing and get that out of the way before it gets to hot.

Later

Adele

Kellxx/ Jodi - We had a horror night here too. Xander woke at midnight last night, after being put to bed at 7.30pm and waking at 830 and 930pm; only to wake at midnight and refuse to sleep until 4.15am. I'm stuffed today.

Kellxx - Try putting regular flour down around the window sills or wherever they are coming in, they can't walk through the flour.

hi girls,
well, ains is having a massive sleep (sorry to those girls that had a bad night...) think it is cause she is not well. hope she is back to my gorgeous girl soon. ok, it took me half an hour to read through everything and now i can't remember who said what... but i'll try :)

ants - we have the same problem... it's driving me nuts.... ours were coming in from behind the dishwasher so i sprayed in there with a spray wiht a long nozzle thingo but now they have found another way in. hate them.. but i'd hate ****roaches more shell!

julia - sorry to hear about your lift escapade. i know it's easier said than done, but perhaps go and sit in a park and relax.... i don't know much about panicking, so i guess i'm not much help. glad your mum was on the phone to talk you through it.

maz - you sure are wonder woman with all your scrapping, sewing, knitting and raising four kids (jed included :lol: )

annat - i love the name tshirts... but don't think anyone could fit ainsleigh across a kid's tshirt...

anna** - drop the maggot off to me and get yourself some rest today!

caddie - where are you??

adele, nessa, those complaining about hot weather, we're having a coolish change here... wonder how long it will last....

thanks for all your well wishes for the princess.... hope she is feeling better this morning once she wakes. have a good day all

Im here! I just down as i lost my daughters dorothy the dinosaur doll since shes had since she was around 1.It was a little grotty but her fav and i loved it when she gave it cuddles and treated it like her baby.I only realised last night it was missing.I went for a walk yesterday afternoon to my local shops.Half way their millana was upset as she was passing out from sleep so i had to make her as comfortable as possible with a nappybag as pillow and me holding it under her head and pushing the pram.I turned around and came home.Last night when i discovered it gone i chucked the major spaz and demanded aaron move his car for me to find it.I couldnt see her so aaon then went for a walk to retrace the steps.Its gone.Millana knows the differnece and would still prefer the old one to the replacement and all last night i was stressing about poor dorothy and who picked her up and why? Why couldnt they stick it on someones letterbox for us to find.Im ****ed and upset. Another ****ty event.Sorry.

:( Caddie why not post a few posters around the area, maybe some good samaritan will see the poster and return it

well have decided to dye my hair to see if it makes me feel better :lol: weird I know but you never know if I wash these greys away I might feel like myself again was supposed to go to a farewell last night, well we gave it a miss due to me being sick and Jase staying home to care for jack and me, we have another one tonight which we are goign to as this one is a good mate so I best do the panadol and sleep thng today to get going for tonight, have told jase if he wants to stay on a party he can jack and I will come home and I am happy to come get him when he is ready :pray: thank you god for giving me a easy child

then we have a 2 hr drive tomorrow for scan sunday is rest day, then jase is off for a work course monday arvie and wont be back till wed nite, first time apart since jack was born, he is depressed about it was going to go with him but work has put them up in a hotel rather than a motel :(

anyway must go eat and wash this dye out, hopefully it will cover the greys this time

Hi girls,

This morning honestly is not any better for me, last night I was consumed with depression of that I hate my life and so sick of feeling unsupported by DH. This morning we had an argument he told me he wants more alone time on the weekend he felt last weekend he didnt get any but I did which was total crap just because he decided to stay indoors for his alone time instead of going out as such while I looked after Julia doesnt mean he didnt get any time. Im so upset with him right now...thank god im seeing the psycologist today she can help me with the feelings of depression.

On a good note Julia has learnt how to limbo, she limo'ed off the bouncer this morning! I was washing my hands and she cryed and I saw her sitting on the ground!

Maz - thank you for your post mate means a lot to me.

Anna - thanks for your SMSs mate, I will give you a call this arvo, big hugs to you.

Shell - thanks for your post re sunshine Im hoping some will come my way later today to brighten me up!

Jodi - hi mate thanks for listening and thinking of me.

Helen - hi mate how you doing.. hows Eithan, thanks for thinking of me.

Caddie - Im thinking of you mate, sorry havent called, not in a good place right now and dont want to bring you down further but promise when I feel a little better will call you...

Rikki - thanks mate, I hope Ainsleigh is feeling better today.

Kell - thanks mate...

Kell & Chrissy - not this monday coming but next Monday I just realised I cant do cause my car is being serviced so can it be the week after that? sorry mates.

Some asehole keeps calling my home number and hanging up on me, im so not happy about it sooooo annoying.

anna** - drop the maggot off to me and get yourself some rest today!

Don't joke, I might take you up on that one day!

Aww caddie.. that sux.. so getting another one wouldnt help would it? Do you have any pics of it? Maybe do what Rach said and offer a $10 reward or something?

Nessa.. aww poor you and Annika.. damn teeth! Has she got anything to chew? I found wet washers out of the fridge great for Jesse as the teethers are all too big for his mouth.

Rikki.. how Ains is feeling better today.

Jodi/Anna**.. they mustve been up telepathically partying with each other!!

Shellbell... mmmm that sounds good.. might have to give that a whirl sometime!

Adele... oh what a yucky day.. try and stay cool if you can!

Rach.. hope youre feeling better today.
i so need to dye my hair too.. the dark roots have come through something shocking! Though you cant tell much as i wear it up 24/7 at least.

Jess is being a good lil camper bouncing on his bouncer at the back sliding doors just looking outside.
Gotta go put the washing on the line.

Ciao
xx

*Belle*- Hugs sweety, I really wish I could do something to make you feel better. I wouldn't mind giving that DH of yours a slap! When do you get a break?! He shouldn't complain when your the one looking after julia 24/ 7!

caddie- As Rach suggested maybe put up some posters, i know I've seen a few at parks in my area looking for teddies and things. maybe you could tell Millana that dorothy has gone to help out a little girl who is lonely or something like that to make her feel better?

Put Ash down for her sleep this morning and for a change she didn't scream it sounded like she was having fun, then when i went to check on her she'd turned all the way around in her cot so her feet were where her head should have been! I couldn't help but laugh.

Adele- I'm with you I really hate this hot weather. Adelaide always seems to be couple degrees warmer then us. It just takes away the little amount of energy i had to begin with!

FIL goes in to get his results at 2pm and Df is stressed cause he thinks that cause they called them to come in to get them then it must be bad news. But i thought in this case they'd call them in either way cause the best results still mean major surgery and chemo so they'd want to discuss all this.

Jodi/Anna**.. they mustve been up telepathically partying with each other!!

well they could at least do it during the day when I'm awake!!
Nina is super unsettled today, I think it's her teeth. She was playing with a catalogue earlier and she got the corner in her mouth, and started screaming. I reckon more teeth are on there way. She's been screaming non-stop since 7.30, which is not like her at all. I ended driving over to mums so mum could play with her and I rest for an hour. I'm home again and just given her some panadol and I think she might be asleep, she's in her cot and she's not whinging :dance: Fingers crossed she has a long sleep.

ETA: nope not sleeping, just talking to her mobile. At least she's content.

You can add my sourpuss to the sleep group! I fed him then put him down at 12. He cried but I just kept putting his dummy in and eventually he fell asleep. Hopefully he'll stay that way for awhile so I can relax and maybe do some more housework. I dont really care today, I just want to sleep Im so tired and cranky.

Well Jess wouldnt sleep today during his day sleep either! Has been that way the past few days. He usually goes down around 11am and sleeps til about 1pmish.. but not today or yesterday or the day before that. Am wondering now if i should move his day sleep to after his 1.30pm feed and just let him nap in between. After his bottle today at 1.30pm he was zonked and has been in bed since (yay). So it may be a goer.

Shellbell.. im praying for ya mate.. hope the results are good ones.

I feel like crap.. gonna go veg.

He is still asleep, thats 2 whole hours YAY :dance: I knew I needed to get tough, he was obviously so tired!

just a quick one for me today

i HAVE LOST 4KG IN 2 WEEKS, extremely pleased with myself, another 10kg to go....

ANNA if you want those HPT let me know your address and ill send them to you.......i will no longer need them as i am GETTING MY TUBES CLAMPED FOR THE SECOND TIME...so no more tin lids for me........craig is so ultra worried of having a disabled child, so we best stop now, as we are extremely lucky to get caitlyn.......i got the 3 month contraception injection the other day, so i haope that does not send me whacko

its to hot for me today my house is really hot and i cant seem to cool it down damm sun wish it would just move down a bit more.

well im off got lots to do

Adele

Monster boy woke up after 3 hours of sleep and I think its only cause the little gutz was hungry. He's not happy unless his tummy is bigger than his head :cryinglaugh: I hope he keeps this up!

Yeah go Chrissy! 4kgs is a great effort. Ive got 3 more to lose but Ive been super slack with the WW. Oh well atleast Im maintaining give or take a few 100g.

Well bad news Fil cancer is advanced so not much they can do. They have appt for mon at Peter Macallum for more info and maybe they can do something to slow it down. Its a shock cause he not sick, all he had was reflux. Shows just how quickly and quietly it can sneak up.

really sorry to hear about your FIL shell... thinking of you.

i'm off for a rest, have a ripper headache, but ainsleigh has been asleep for nearly an hour so i may have missed my window..... BBL

Shell big hugs to you and your family am thinking of you xoxo

Bel - Thanks for the phone call today. Sending big hugs to you.. feel free to phone anytime! Sorry Xander was screaming through most of the convo.

Maz - How's young Miss Vy today?

Chrissy - Talk about a complete 360 change of mind... going from ttc to planning to get your tubes tied. Have you had the 3 month shot before? I'd be happy to accept those tests, I've sent you my address, just let me know what I owe you. Congrats on the weightloss!

Shell - Oh no Shell.. so sorry to hear. Thinking of you and your family.

Kellxx - How many day sleeps does Jesse have now? I cut Xander to two sleeps just this week - and whilst he still puts up a fight every nap time, at least he does sleep (during the day anyway) now.

Jodi - I am hating this growth spurt already. How is Nina going?

AnnaT - LOL at the 'bigger than his head' comment. I reckon my piglet is the same. Yay on having a 2 hour sleep!

Owww Shell that sucks. How's your df going? How are you going?

Rikki hope your headache goes away.

I am a bit worried...youth group's outside today cos someone double booked the church so there's some lovely old farts having a dinner there and there are storm clouds and rumblings of thunder...:o Hope we don't get rained on or struck by lightening!!

We tried to give River some water through his bottle and he pulled his bonjela face. Drank maybe 10ml. So Rans just squirted it in his face for fun. Mum's bringing a sippy cup (she's babysitting tonight) so maybe Riv'll take to that.

Maz, I'm not sure if the neighbours are home today...oh wait their garage door is open. I'll definitely ask them about the snozie though. Well, I won't call it a snozie, I'll call it a parcel...otherwise they'll think I'm loony.

shell :hugs: for you and your family. What sort of cancer is it?

anna** - I don't know what today was all about, she finally stopped screaming and went to sleep, for 3.5 hours!! Now she's smiling and giggling. Last night was a horror too. If this keeps up then I'm shipping her off ... now who was it that said I can ship her there ... hhmmm, I think MAZ!!!!! YOU CAN HAVE HER!

rikki - hope you got some sleep in and your headache goes away soon.

annat - Nina's the same, if she's hungry, she wants to bed, NOW!

nessa - at least you've found something to occupy your mind, and keep you sane. I've never been one for baking sweets, I'm slack and buy them from the shop. But you're doing a good job so far.

dunno if I told you all, but the other day Nina grabbed my water bottle and started drinking my water. So I gave her some boiled water, which I cooled in the freezer first, and now she loves water! This whole time hated water. She'll only drink it cold though.

Shell,how terrible for your family.Thinking of you and hoping Fil can find a solution to slow it down and spend some time with you all.
Ness,how sad for the grandma to die alone.Well,she may be in some happy place with her husband.

HAPPY 5 MONTHS RUBY!!!

Im so sorry to hear that Shell :hugs:

Thats funny anna as ruby was 5months,5days old yesterday(lol). the tickers gone nutters.

Shell and Nessa so sorry to hear about your respective families :hug:

well I am :angry: as right now, dropped Jase and his mate (who finished up at work today) off at pub 20kms away at 3.30pm his mates fiance was pickign them up at 5.30pm comign back into town jase was coming home for shower then we were all heading down to local club to meet up with some others for tea and drinks, well I just got a phone call they wont be back into town till after 7pm grrrrrrrrr......... Jack is miserable for some reason no idea why, so have given him some panadol, I am starving and was hoping for a early tea, well that wont happen now, byt he time he gets home showers we get there it will be 7.40pm or later grrrrrrr:wall: so much for being the good wife and driving them places, oh well he will pay for it tomorrow we have to drive 2 hrs for my scan, and I will be damned if I am only stopping at mums for 1/2hr visit

ok enough venting LOL

Thanks for all your thoughts girls, i just feel so bad for Df. I think the IL's are going to plan an around world trip and do everything they've always wanted to do.

Rach75- Hope you enjoy dinner even if its so late! Babies know when your going out so they get whingy, Ash did that to us on Valentines day.

Nessa83- oh thats just awful about your Dh step grandma, its sad to think that when you don't have family close by you can just die alone.

Jodi- It started off as stomach cancer but has spread to other organs, not sure where, Df was bit vague on the details cause he was just too upset to think bout that.
Thats great Nina drinks water, I try get Ash to take some so shes not always on the boob but i think 90% ends up spat out!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr he's still not home, so when he gets here I shall be good wife drop him off where ever go get chooks (like red rooster) come home and veg, no point goign anywhere now kitchen closes 8.30pm jack has to leave club by 9pm grrrrrrrrrr

Adele.. oh wow! Congrats to your SIL! 6lbs hey! Jesse was 8lb 9oz! Woahh i bet he woulda been gigantic next to her!

Happy Birthday Nicole!!!

Nessa.. too bad im on the otherside of the country, id come over for a cuppa and cake :) Would love to see your latest creation!
Oh so sorry to hear about your Step Grandmother inlaw.

Shell.. oh im so sorry my dear.. well i guess if it has to be at least he's not in any pain.. lets just hope he's still got a long time and they can try and get rid of it some how.

Anna**.. well he wakes at 6amish then has a nap for about half an hour at 9.30am.. then i normally put him down at 11.30am. But lately he has been wide awake. Then he'll nap come the afternoon. He ended up sleeping from 1.30pm until 3.30pm this afternoon. So not really sure what to do.. maybe ill just not try so much at the 11.30pm time now and put him down after his 1.30pm feed? What time do you put Xander down on his day sleeps?

Nelle.. Jess would do the same with water through his bottle.. would start sculling it thinking it was milk then realise it wasnt. I got him a sippy cup so he'll know the difference and he's started now to drink some. He's still not too phased with water so ive put a couple of drops of apple juice in it.. he likes that then.

Rach... aww i hate it when that happens.. yep babies always know when you want them to be good.. they play up! Oh how rude! Make sure you splurge now!

Well i got Jess to self settle tonight in his cot!!! Took him a while.. just put his music on and his stars on the roof, gave him his "blankie" and he fell asleep! When i went to check on him, he was asleep on his tummy, head to the side, cuddling his blankie.. aww was so cute. Turned him back over but i reckon he's on his tummy again by now the little worm.

Ok gotta run.. i think its ice cream time :)

:wall: he got home like 10min ago chooks is closed so no dinner for me unless I want a frozen pie, and guess what he is still going out even though he knows I am beyond peeved at him

but.............I am not taking him out or picking him up Jack is down for the night, he goes what else could I do I know there is no mobile coverage at banana, if I had known blah blah..........I tuned out 'its not like everynite my best mate finish up at work and well ***k its not like he is leaving town, he gets annoyed when my mums group runs over and I get home late, how does he expect me to feel :wall:

I will not let him see me :cry: I will not...........I just have to wait till he has gone out and then have a good ole bawl

kel - Nina wakes at 6'ish, has her first sleep around 9'ish (for around an hour - 1.5 hrs), then another sleep at around 1 (2-3 hrs). This will then last her till 5.30/6pm when we start the bedtime routine.
That's great that Jesse settled on his own!!

rach - ggrrrr! how annoying! Hopefully you can get something to eat in time.

Quick note.. Nessa OMG How cool is that car cake!!! Thats awesome!!! Might have to fly over for a piece!!!!

Jodi.. hmm yeh i might when he has the nap in the morning, rather than leave him where he is like on his bouncer or whatever, go and put him in his cot.. may then get an extra half hour out of him.. then just put him down at 1.30pm like today and he hopefully will get 2 hours then.. cool.. its a plan.. thanks for your help! Its hard trying to figure this stuff out, glad i have you gals to help :)

only a fly by for me. to TIRED!!!!
Ness if that kettles on im so there.
Jodi - NO NO NO...I was going to send vy to you dame it!
Shell - my winge that i was going to have seems pitiful now compared to what your family is going through. I do know what your going through - my aunty died of bowl cancer and an uncle of liver cancer. Stay strong honey, we're all here for you.
Hello my other chickies...my eye balls are floating. Vy screamed most of lastnight, I got about 2 hours sleep, only after I put her in our bed at 5am. then all day she want me to hold her and she screamed again...im gonna do it F$$king growth spurts!
OH Cr@p! Chrissy are you seriously going to get your tubes done again? I dont know if I could go through that again, your such a brave woman.
Thats it, scotch time then nite nites for this little pumpkin. MAUW to you all
xxmaz

im bringing my scrapbooking with me.
We really need another MSN night girls...lets organise one again soon.
thats it, my scotch has worked, im going to bed now.
Night laura......

I'm keen for another msn night, and this time I'll organise a bottle of wine!

Nina has a cold, think that's why she was so unsettled today. She's just woken up, so Heath's with her ATM. I reckon it'll be another long night

Shell-My thoughts go out to you and your family during this hard time. Huge hugs.

Jodi-Bella used to come down with a cold when she was teething. Just a thought, hope she gets better soon.

EEEKK Eithan is 6mths old tommorrow.

Love

Am I going crazy? Who's Nicole? Who's Laura? Am I offending someone mortally by asking? Has someone changed their name? Am I seeing things?

I'm so tired and confused (and angry at your husband on your behalf Rach you poor sweetie, guys are real jerks sometimes!). I'll catch you all tomorrow.

Oh and the car we painted at youth group looks wicked but I left my camera at church so I'll show you the pics another time. Night all! xo
