Rach.. yeh thats what im meant.. Jesse likes to suck my neck, i call it him kissing, but he likes to pretend hes a vampire and stick his teeth in every now and then.. ouchy!
Yeh i have Jesse's Naming Day pics as a before pic i guess, but it grows back so quickly.

Shell.. yeh its still long but not as long as it was, as it was covering my boobs before lol. But oh its so good having it shorter, i still wear it up but still, always nice to be different every now and then. Hehe oh dear i have to laugh as i think theyre at it again shell.. Jesse was the exact same as Ash was this morning tonight. I put him down and he just started screaming.. nothing worked except me cuddling him to sleep. Last time i had to do that was the day before his second tooth came up! Oh thats great Ash is going well with her feeding! Clever girl!

Jodi.. Oh well done chick with the weight loss and the jeans!! That is great! No havent any pics yet, must get Grahame to take some.

Rikki.. oh the poor little thing.. make sure you give her some extra kisses and cuddles as ive heard thats the best medicine for a sick bubba

Thanks maz! Gnight Elizabeth!

[**Helen**]

Awww Rikki Ainsleigh looks so sad, poor little chook. Glad to hear that you are home now and that she is on the mend.

I still wrap Eithan. Umm sorry I have missed so much.

Belle-I am so proud of you to have the guts to tackle some of your issues. It must be so hard for you, but as someone else said 2 steps forward, 1 back. You will get there matie and we are all here for you whenever you need us.

Got my nappy order today but havent got my PUL as they have run out, so I only have one nappy cover, woolen. I'll get through.

Better go.

Love Helen

[caddie]

Poor ainsleigh! She does look sad.Would have just about broke your heart hey rikki?

Annat,sorry your trip ended on a sournote.Bummer.
Rach,goodluck on your boat hunting.
Maz,im over cleaning! It so irks me when i clean and it looks like crapola 10 min later.
I went shopping this morning.The 2 rats didnt exactly behave but i got a couple of things done,went to the park twice.The girls just didnt want to be inside and were only happy when i took them out.Im tired now so night john boy!

[ambz]

Hello sexy mummas!!
ok well its 11:22pm and im going to write an ultra extra long post as i have not done one in so so long...
knowing my luck by the time i finish there will probably be a new thread started and you will all miss what i have typed hahah.. ok here it goes...
firstly little miss savanna has decided that the remotes are so much more interesting than her own toys i find them scattered around everywhere. she holds onto the furniture and pulls herself up. i have even seen her take a step or two standing up. too clever!!
i got introuble from hubby when he saw the vid and pics of savanna ripping the news paper apart. "why did you let her play with the newspaper...she could cut herself...the ink is poisonous..blah blah blah" OOPS MY BAD but it was too cute to take it off her
daddy is so protective of his little princess.

i had some trouble puttting her to bed tonight. normally i wrap her put her dummy in her mouth. put her musical mobile on, kiss her goodnight and walk out the room and she is asleep within 5 mins. but tonight she was trying to fall asleep but would wake up every couple seconds screaming and crying. this went on for over an hour and i had to keep going in to tap her and eventually she must have tired herself out. i even got a bottle ready to feed her but went back in and she was too sleepy to wake up. poor darling, i wonder what was bothering her

rikki- ainsleigh is adorable, what natio are you and hubby. she looks exotic lol if thats a way to put it. very pretty!!! Hope she is feeling alot better xoxox

helen p - hope you feeling alot better too hun. gotta remember to stop and take a breath hey!!! hopefully the coming weekend you can get some time to rejuvinate (sp?)

kellxx- i just realised that savanna and jesse are only 1hr & 45mins apart!!!
a goodhaircut can make a woman feel so damned good cant it?? i love getting my hair done. especially when id get my nails done too. you feel so spoilt!!! which reminds me im due for a haircut heheh any excuse will do!!! too bad about the nails. no more acrylics for me. i keep my nails short and natural now. i dont know how women manage with long nails and lookin after a baby too.

maz- hehe you clean freak!! i get in those moods too and once you start you cant stop. i find that when hubby and i have an argument or fight i cant stop cleaning hahaha

rach- dont you hate it when you remember to do things when its too late. like taking a before pic when you get your hair done lol!!! i always forget things then afterwards i sit there thinking oh i should have done that how cool would that of been.. but then its too late lol

jodi- whats polenta??? oh congrats on losing weight!!! im finding it soo damned hard to get back to pre baby body!! its so depressing!! grrrr i wish it was easy. especially when you see damned celebrities do it so quickly.. WELL IF I HAD MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR PERSONAL CHEFS AND TRAINERS I COULD DO IT TOO!!! hahah damned easter!! haha its always something isnt it!! lol.. well done chikki.. hopefully i can get the motivation to do the same.

shellbell- hope ash is feeling better poor angel. i know what you mean with hubbys and shopping. i loveee shopping with hubby and when we go i take forever in each shop but when we go into his shops im so damned impatient i sometimes walk out and wonder off.. he gets so sh*tty with me cause he follows me everywhere but apparently i dont have the decency to do the same for him. hahaha im so mean sometimes lol

nessa- i dont know about savannas soft spot ill have to check it tomorrow

annat- hey hun hope your feeling better and you "mother trouble" has been sorted out

sharleen- hope the painting is going well and looks fantastic!

caddie- hello chikky ruby is too cute!! looks like a little doll!!!

annie- im still wrapping savanna too. im too scared to not wrap her cause she sleeps so well wrapped. my friend wrapped her bub till about 10 months. when savanna wakes up in the morning and i go check on her she has managed to unwrap herself and is sitting in her cot playing. so i guess there is no harm in wrapping

belle- big hugs to you hun. you are a very strong and wonderful women. you are doing a fantastic job as a mummy keep up the good work!!! xoxox

nelle- your post made me laugh. i was imagining him yelling out as he crawled towards his toy as i was reading it. lolll so cute and funny

chrissy- i dont use contraception.. i really cant be bothered at all. we just use the withdraw method haha it worked for us for years before we had savanna .. i guess hubby times it really well lolllll funny that the first time we try we actually fall pregnant.
my cousin and his wife are really strong catholics and do not believe in contraception which would explain why she is already two months pregnant (her bub is only 7 months old) heheh

well hubbys is really hoping that we start trying soon. remember i said that he put a reminder in his phone for when i said we would start.. well that day is coming up very soon.. im getting so nervous cause while i miss being pregnant and want to have another baby, im also so scared about how im going to manage and how much of my life is going to change. two kids under two is going to be hectic im sure!! hehe

well goodnight to everyone and hope you are all well and bubbys are all behaving

better go get some sleep

luv yas all

luv

[Nelle]

Wow Ambz! What a post! Wicked to see a long one from you, you've totally outdone yourself mate! I love Savanna in your ticker shot!! Too funny.

Just popping in, cos I should be in bed! I can't even remember who said what, but:

When Riv's unsettled/overtired, I wrap him, not his arms, but the rest of him just to give him that extra snug and secure feel. Seems to work.

Oh yeah, Ambz, could it have been Savanna's teeth that were bothering her and that's why she didn't settle? Perhaps next time try some Bonjela or something and see if that doesn't settle her more quickly.

Helen, did you lanolise your wool cover yet, or did it come lanolised? Where did you get it from?

Riv's still got a gap in the top of his head, that's how I can tell if he's ever dehydrated.

Polenta is a grain, kinda like fine rice, cooks a similar way. Really nice, but I haven't been able to cook it to save myself. Next time I might read the instructions.

Yeah we don't use contraception either. I hate it. Hate it hate it hate it. I'll just have to have twelve children and live in a shoe.

Better go to bed. Hey there to you guys I didn't mention (so pretty much everyone)- great to hear what you're all up to! Night! xo

[Cougar]

well as for the contraception thing girls..........that was my first contraceptive since i was 18years old and im just about to turn 38..............F&*K.......no wonder i have ended up with 6 kids, 7 m/c........but hey nelle...not buying a shoe anytime soon. that was 20years....mmm......but 5 of those i had my tubes clamped...........so thats 15 years, so i will take caity out of the picture and my recent m/c,

11 pregnancys in 15 years.........so thats averaging out at around a preganncy every 15 months.........**** thats pretty scarey isnt it.

have a great day girls

craigs taking me out today for lunch and to the motorcycle muesum at nabiac.

[ShootingStar]

Ohh Nessa hope youre ok chick

Ambz.. oh they are too! So we were both in the same pain at the same time! Oh i know what you mean about the 2 kids. DH wants more now too but ive said i want to wait at least until the end of the year to start trying but even then im wondering how ill go with 2 kids. I know we'll both be fine when it happens but its still a scarey thought isnt it. Aww poor little pet, Jesse did the exact same thing last night. Hope she had a good sleep through after that. Jess didnt wake until 7am woo!
I dont use contraceptives atm either.. stopped taking the pill last month as i was getting migrains every second week.. so far so good! But i guess you really have to DTD to be worried hey.. lol and we dont atm.. im trying but am too scared of the pain. Ill get there one day.

Chrissy.. wow you have done really well woman and all of your kids are just gorgeous.

Well not much news for me. We're going to meet Lindsay (princess_confussed) and Laila again today for coffee which will be nice.
Do any of your bubs have a dribble rash? Jess still has his.. im going to look for something to put on it today but it just looks terrible.

Have a good day all.

[rikki]

or try paw paw cream kell... that's non toxic too

[Visitor7]

ness - how are you feeling today? Did you get to see someone?

ambz - well done on the huge post! You know what my little secret has been lately ... herbal life! I started it when I stopped b/f and it's working!

wow chrissy, I don't know how you do it!!

Not much happening here, Nina is getting into mischief in the lounge room. Her favourite thing ATM is opening and closing the TV cabinet! Heath's not impressed cause his stereo is in there, which costs a couple of $$

ETA: sharleen, admit it, you don't wanna leave us hehehe

[Freya]

Hi to everyone!
Rikki, Im glad to hear Ains is on the mend poor thing

My trip wasnt a total bust. I saw friends, ate lots and Jett got spoilt by everyone, esp my brother and sister. I should have known my mother would be well just like she always is but for some reason up until now Ive always had a tiny hope that she'd be back to her old self again. Instead, after prior warning we were coming, I arrive at 1pm to find her so drunk she cant stand up straight Then she proceeded to lie and swear to me she wasnt drunk and didnt tell the truth until I screamed until my throat hurt at her about how selfish she is. She hadnt even vacuumed the house so there was dog hair all over everything from my sisters dog and Mum knows what Im like about dogs inside the house who go on furniture. So I was forever wiping dog hair off Jett/out of his mouth. THEN Jett starting getting sick so she said she'd vacuum again (which is a huge process of borrowing a vacuum before she can do it) and STILL it didnt get done. By the time Wednesday night came around I was p!ssed off and Jett was getting real sick, and she was drunk again so I came home yesterday. She even told my poor sister that it was her fault I was leaving because my sister "hogs" Jett and never lets anyone have a go with him (like he's some fricken toy or something).
So this was the last straw, I dont care if people think Im a disgusting excuse for a daughter, it is OVER she wont ever be seeing us again. She's been in rehab twice, on medication for 4 years, going to therapy for just as long and she still isnt any better. She just blames her problems on everyone else and I cant let Jett be a part of that.

So AF showed her face early as well yesterday and boy has she been a doozy. My cramps felt like labour pains So I crawled to bed with my wheat bag and some nurofen but I still feel like crud. Now Jett is really sick with a green snotty nose and the worst cough I have ever heard.

I hate my life right now so if Im not around its because Im sooking and being lazy.

[~Flossie~]

ANnAT - My MSN is not working... damn damn.. next time i am on-line ill get your number and give you a call.. just remember that you are a wonderful mum and dont let the stresses of your mother interfer with that.. xoxo

[Visitor7]

anna - you poor thing. It must really hurt seeing your mum like that, and having her do nothing about it. At least you can look at your mum and tell yourself that you can give Jett a better life, and a better mother.
Nina too has that cold and cough, poor little bubbas. Hopefully he gets over it soon.
Huge hugs for you and I hope you start having a better day today.

[maz]

OH AnnaT - big hugs honey, try and get some 'me' time today and a stiff drink will help to
I cant get over tall these bubbies having colds and being sick. Poor little honeys. Big sloopy kisses from Vy to them all.
Vy just ate her half weetbix then totally destroyed a piece of vegemite toast. Unreal!
Hope everyone is having a great day. SIL is coming up from Melbourne today sao might not be on for a few days.
butterfly kisses to you all

[shellbell3]

Morning all,
How come whenever its my day to sleep in and Df has to get up with Ashleigh she always sleeps in for him? Like today she didn't wake til 8:45! She never does that for me.

Maz- Wow Vys doing great with solids, Ashleigh won't eat anything thats not totally pureed but as long as she eats I'm happy.

AnnaT- Hugs sweety, just concentate on yourself and your son, you don't need that kind of behaviour in your liofe.

Jodi- Ashleigh also loves the video cabinet and removing all the videos and DVD's from it!

ambz- Wow massive post, I think most kids love newspapers, I let Ash rip it but avoid it getting in her mouth, will prolly just come out in her poo anyways!

Kell- It is starting to get funny how they're always doing things together! Next time we holiday to Sydney we will have to meet up and see what those 2 get up to.

Not much planned today, will have to think bout what I can get up to. still in PJ's at moment!

[caddie]

Annat how sad.Sad for you because you dont get a mother who is loving and takes responsability for herself and sad for your mother too as she cant get control of her life or herself.Just take a backseat and look after yourself and your family.I dont know if you can totally erase her from your life but a visit now and then or perhaps sending photos of jett may get her to reevaluate her life.Unfortunatley she has an illness and it wont get better ever until she wants it.Sad,sad,sad.
Hope all these sick babies get better real quick.It seems to go in runs doesnt it!
Ruby has her needles.Ive been trying to avoid it but well shes 7months!
