Hey chickadees! Well Rans is home sick today, must be like, the 3rd sick day ever of his life - I did some evil manipulating, he's got this awful cold that I'm still getting over and I just pointed out to him that I hated when people thought they were okay and came to work with germs and then the bug started going round work. So...you know...I was just thinking about the welfare of his co-workers!
Nina - whoooeeee! Talk about the girl about town!
That is a brave boy Rach! Good on him.
Hey, I fed River some apple puree yesterday, and it went down better than the pumpkin and sweet corn. Do you think I should keep feeding him apple til he gets the idea of food and then reintroduce the savoury stuff?
Thankyou for the half birthday wishes! Mama says she feels sad today because my half birthday came by so quick that my 1st one will too. Im not her itty bitty baby anymore but Im much more fun now!
So Ive been a bit of a grump lately because I have this way sharp tooth in my mouth thats really starting to bug me. Getting Mama up in the middle of the night for a cuddle makes me feel better though but I dont think it does anything for her Ive got the crawling thing going now and I must say I am very very fast - just call me Speedy Gonzales! I also like to sit up but only when I feel like it, I like to give everyone high 5's and my favourite word is Dad-dad although I can say Mama and HI! I have big boy baths where I like to roll over onto my tummy and blow bubbles in the water. I even sit in the shopping trolley now which makes it much easier to check out the chicky babes
Babies, I have to tell you about an awesome thing called PAPER! Sometimes its white and sometimes its colourful but man does it taste good AND you can turn it into lots of little bits of paper! Dont think the 'olds' like it though cause theyre always taking it off me and throwing it out. Jess-man, yoghurt is awesome hey! Its my favourite food to eat too.
Im too cool for skool, I even have a theme song! I rock out to Bob Sinclar's 'Rock this party' ! I have some pretty good moves, move over Justin Timberlake, a new JT is in da houuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse
Ashleigh, I think your a bit of alright
Ive now been given permission to write something lol Jetts tooth is taking its sweet merry time coming through, no wonder he has been a right royal pain for me lately. Nessa, that teething gel works wonders though! Ta for sending it to me, its been a life saver. Dh cleaned up the house yesterday arvo (Yeah I know I was shocked too! The apocolypse must be coming or something hehe), so now Jett has nothing he can get into. The kid is fricken fast with his crawling now, literally takes seconds to get from one side of the room to the other. He is also *almost* sitting himself up out of the crawling position but just as he gets upright his fat head unbalances him and he falls the other way.
I really need to go shower now, Im aiming to be organised by midday each day so I dont look like to much of a slacker. Plus I need to go get some potato's to go with the silverside Im cooking for dinner tonight and Jetts winter clothes layby out, its gotten cold during the day here all of a sudden to the point where even RY thought about getting the heater crankin! Might get myself some winter shirts/jumpers, all my winter clothes are maternity ones and I dont think I want to wear them lol
Just popping in to let ya's know I'm ok... my nerves are totally shot right now whilst waiting to get this ultrasound done on Xanders' brain, but at least he isn't sick now and the temp is back to normal.
nelle - I would go with whatever he's liking at the moment. So if it's just fruit, then so be it. Keep trying the other stuff but don't be too worried if he doesn't want it. Nina's favourite is fruit, and if she doesn't want anything else, then I don't mind.
You want me to send nina your way next little hussey she is!
Jett - you're such a clever little chicken, or should I say Speedy Gonzales!
Nina finally woke up at 9.30, and went back to bed at 11.30!! Must be tired today.
anna** - try not to worry too much about it, hopefully it's nothing and he just has a big head. Call me if you need a chat.
well since nina is sleeping...again...i might go and watch tv, hopefully a midday movie or something
Goodluck anna!!! Thinking of you.
Maz,how are you.Come and chat.
Belle,hows everything?
Helen?
Re the feeding i just try ruby with the savory foods first and if she spits it out try the sweets next.I would keep percervering.1 day thel like something the next yukko.
Me,took millana to fun station with friends.Had a good time.Just relaxing before i tackle house cleaning!
Hi ya Caddie, hope your feeling better matie
I sounds like everyone is really busy. All these babies on the move.
Ive notcied that Vy has either lost a bit of her fat on her legs or just gotten longer. Her nappy covers no longer leave horrible marks on her legs anymore.
Vic girls - do we have any more thoughts on a meet up? Im like AnnaT - need a bit of for warning if you want me there.
Vy's been crawling up a storm and nothing is safe anymore, even the poor cat. She's eating 3 meals a day, 1/4 weetibx in the morning, fruit at lunch and vegies and meat or fish at night. FINALLY sleeping through (better not say that to loude). She's very clingy to mummy now and often hides her face in my bb's. Say's dada, mama, bubba and Yeah
Anyway enough of my dribble
I absolutely loved the way you girls putthings down from all the babies point of view. It really made me chuckle and smile.
For everyone who's stressing at the moment (you know EXACTLY who you are) big enormous hugs to you. And hugs to everyone else for the hell of it.
Better go to the ruggies

You might be mad Chrissy but I don't think there's anything wrong with that!
About the Vic meetup - why don't Maz and Annat decide between them, about 2 or so dates that are good for both of them, and then the rest of us Vic girls can decide which the best date is for the rest of us!
Just been to Spotlight and 7/11. Was nice to have some baby free time, wandering the halls of Spotters.
Hmm. I think River might be constipated. Might go search Belly belly for what to do...
Gday all those chicky babes and ma fellas in da house!
Had a big day today. Went shopping with my best buddy Richie. Mummy forgot to take photos AGAIN!!! I dont know how many times i have to remind her! But me and Richie are having a photo shoot on Wednesday. My mummy and Richie's mummy are going to dress us up like rock stars! Mummy said i can have her guitar when im older, how rad is that! So ill show you some pictures of us on Wednesday or Thursday, depends how slack mum is. But i do have to give her a break, shes getting the flu. I hope i dont get it.
Oh Caity you look so hot in that photo!!! That flower really brings out your eyes..
Ok i have to go mummy's cooking my dinner. She said to say hi to all the mummys and she'll come and chat in a bit.
Bob-bye...
Jessman xx
Ps.. HAPPY 6 MONTHS JETT.. Here i have a present for you.. its your favourite.. YOGURT!!
nelle - nina was constipated yesterday and we could see there was a stool which was stuck (TMI sorry!) so we rubbed some baby oil around the TMI area and kept bringing her legs up, like riding a bike playing. We also gave her some Coloxyl, which worked great. She's back to pooing normal now.
ness - gggrrrrr at DH! Like you said, where's your annual leave? You should book holidays in, put it on the calendar, then when the time comes around, take a holiday! Easier said than done, but we can wish anyway.
jesse - can't wait to see the pics your mummy is gonna take on Wednesday, make sure you smile for the camera!
Nina has had a real sleepy day today, she woke up at 9.30am, back down at 11.30am for 1.5hours, then had another 1.5 sleep this afternoon!! Heath's off to footy now so gotta play mum ... again! A mum's job is never done

Oh poor Nina! I remember when Olivia was 12 weeks old, 2 nights before her baptism and she has a poo stuck 1/2 in and 1/2 out of her bum! So we put vaseline around it and tried to get it out with our fingers.. it was like bloody cement! SHe was in so much pain she was beyond crying.. So of to the ER and she had a lovely enima! 1/2 later the biggest poo ever.. it just kept coming and coming! We started prune juice once a day after that! She was blocked from the AR reflux formula.. thickner and stuff to stop her chucking all the time..
Chrissy - You will be fine ont he flight.. When i flew with my 2 a couple of weeks ago the staff were so helpful and offered to help etc.. I just packed heaps of lollypops and tiny teddys ( DD fav) and she was happy to sit still for a while!
Chrissy - do you think that you'll have time to meet while you are here??? Id love to swing past a crack a johnnie with you! we live 5 mins from Dreamworld!
Hi all,
I've had an exhausting day, Ashleigh decided to revert back to screaming before ALL her sleeps today, she has 3 a day so thats roughly 3 hours spent screaming and trying to settle then just sleeping for 25mins.
*Nessa*- Oooh I'd be so angry too, occasionally Df has made the comment of what have I done all day but then says quickly he was just joking, but I think he actually really does think it sometimes. Leave him home with the girls for a day and a list of housework to do plus cook dinner and see what he says then!
VIC girls- I was thinking the first weekend of May for Vic meet-up but as Nelle said see what suits AnnaT and Maz and I'll work into it.
Nelle- I had trouble with Ashleigh taking anything for the first 2 weeks, just keep trying and see how he goes. Now I'm onto 2 meals I usually give fruit in the morn and vegies at night.
Hello to the rest of you lovely ladies, I am ready for bed. My body is still on old daylight savings time. Will watch desperate housewives but will have to tape Brothers and Sisters, god I have so many TV shows on these days.
I already smacked them for it Kathryn - don't nuthin get past Nazi Nelle
Well Riv settled well again tonight He ate 8 teaspoon fulls of apple puree this arvo, so perhaps we'll stick with that. Though if he doesn't poo tomorrow I might add a teensy bit of brown sugar to something to try and encourage it out.
Oww Kell, Rans and I are just getting over something too...it sucks to be sick hey.
Nelle - Did you know that many bubs get a bit blocked up on Apple Sauce/Puree??? Apple Juice has the opposite effect.. something to do with pectin (not sure what tho). Oh, and peaches/pears and of course prunes might help get things moving too - as well as good old water (if he'll drink it)
Kellxx - We've got weirdo weather over here too, warm one minute; then cold and raining the next. No wonder everyone is getting sick! Hope you feel better soon.
Shell - Xander and Ashleigh must've been talking again, he is doing the same thing re screaming before going down for a sleep. It is just soooooo much work for such a little nap!
Nessa - Swap roles with your hubby on the weekend sometime. You sit on the couch, watch TV and drink beer... whilst he runs around after the kids and does all the housework/cooking. He wont complain again in a hurry.
Jodi - I hope Nina keeps up the awesome sleeping patterns for you.
Rikki / Caddie - Looking forward to catching up with you both next week. How are you yummy mummies' going?
Maz - Vy sounds like she is really on the move now. Must be so cute (even if it is damn hard work!)
Belle - Thanks heaps for calling today, enjoy your trip!
Chrissy - Yep, you are nuts. But I bet you are going to have a great time.
AnnaT - Happy 6 months to Jett!
I think some of you may have got a bit mixed up with my last post...Xander didnt go for his scan today, I'm still 'waiting' to get an appointment to get it done!!! It's the wait that is stressing me more than anything.
