Shell.. thats how i started Jesse on toast.. he would do the same just play with it so i started just breaking off bits and feeding it to him until he got use to the texture, now he does it himself. Glad she enjoyed it in the end.
Oh Oh!! I was cleaning the kitchen and turned around and Jesse was standing in front of the tv!! (Leaning on the tv) Woo! This is the first he's been on his feet! Will put a photo on his site..
I forgot to add in my last post... I'm changing ISP's at the moment, so likely to be offline sometime (day, hour, minute???) soon. So if I seem to be ignoring e-mails, just phone! I should be back online about 5-10 days after I go offline. Till then I'll keep posting.
Meg, I don't often put River down for a sleep as such, I just let him crawl around sooking on the floor til all goes silent and he's asleep Like right now.
Nelle- God Ash would never do that, if I just let her keep crawling around she would just stay awake for hours! That'd be pretty good, wouldn't have too much stress with settling.
Kell- Yay on Jesse, now watch for all the fun of him climbing up on EVERYTHING! We are always chasing Ash around.
Meg- Occasionally we have prob with arvo sleep, with us it all depends on how long and what time she had her first sleep, I find if its getting after 3:30 for her second sleep she may not have it.
Anna**- I know that teething "myth" is a load of crap, must be from someone who's never had kids! I find it funny picturing you with a motorbike, just cause in your pics you being so skinny I think you too fragile to be a biker chick!
Okay, I'd better start dinner now, haven't done much today yet the time has flown.
hi ladies hope your all well and babies are behaving!!
maz- so glad to hear your dad is getting better!!
jodi- hope your feeling better hun *hugz*
annat- arghhhh the dredded morning sickness!! i didnt get it with savanna and im praying i wont get it with number two in the future
savannas first tooth has finally cut through!!! yayyy!!!! its her bottom right one. is it normal for her top gum above the tooth that has cut to be bluish and swollen??
i read in the wonderweeks book that around this age babies go through a shy stage where they dont like people to look at them or when people do they turn away from them. well little miss has been doing this. she fully launches herself backwards and turns away from people. and she snuggles up to my chest when she gets shy aswell.
hehehe its too cute!!
i havent been posting for a little while cause been over at mums and dads alot.
my mum had her plates removed from her arm from when she broke it two years ago. and being her right hand has made it kinda hard for her especially for someone who cannot sit down for a moment and always is doing something lol.
hmmmmm where is my blasted AF????? i told hubby that i still had not received it and i was sure it was due last week. you should have seen his face light up. he kept poking me and grinning hahahaha maybe i miscalculated and its due next week... stupid me never keeps track of it hahah
Anna** I agree that people that say that teething is a myth probably have never had kiddies.
Nelle You are so lucky with River. James would be the same as Ashleigh, and just play all day rather than sleep. Then he would probably become hysterical.
OMG Ambz ---- hubbys dream could come true.
Anna - Will have to pull finger out and give you a call ASAP
Nelle - Im very jealous. I wish Vy would crawl and crash (so to speak) she crawls after me screaming like a banchi if I dont put her down in her cot. She's taken to doing this in the car seat now too. SO frustrating!
Shell - bugger on missing out on the house. God I hope you guys get one soon
Kell - Yay on Jesse standing. Clever little man. Wait until he chases after you holding onto the walls for support.
Meg - Vy screams day or night....Je dusually settles her down better than me (thats what I tell him anyway )
Hello Caddie, Belle, Rikki, Jodi, Rach,Ness,Helen,Sharleen, Chrissy, Annie (away in USA land) Laurin, Boo, AnnaT (and that sexy pg belly) and everyone else (sorry if I forgot you, brain dead atm)
Dad's getting heaps better. I was only there for 1/2 an hour today, to hard with Vy. My mum does have shingles (yay) thank god just a nervous rash hmmmmm.
ANNNDDDDDD
Im having my u/s tomorrow at 10am. NIkolaus is ocming with me (to help look after Vy) as Jed cant come. A little bit excited and a little bit scared. Will share with you all.
Thank you each and everyone of you for being wonderful friends and support to me over the last few days. Ive been a real mess and its been so nice to know you guys have been thinking of my family. I know ive been a bit of a cow of late, and if I hurt anyones feelings, Im very sorry. I promise I will try my hardest to bite my tongue and think before I speak (so to speak).
Thanks again girls
xxmaz
Maz- Ooh how exciting, can't wait to her bout the scan. Oh and had to laugh at your post cause you've put "My mum does have shingles (yay)" I'm sure you mean she doesn't have shingles. Lol. Thats great bout your dad, he'll be out in no time, have they moved him down from ICU yet?
Ambz- Hey you could be the next preggy. You gonna test or wait a week?
Still here... tho my westnet e-mail has been shut off, so daresay I wont be online for much longer. Ahhhhh, how am I gonna survive without the internet? Don't tell me I'm gonna have to talk to my husband or something LOL
Maz - You free for a chat tomorrow? WIll try and call you if I don't hear from you first!
Big hellos to everyone, will do personals when I'm back online again; got a tonne of things to sort out before I get cut off tonight.
Oh... and i LOVE my new motorbike. Ahhhhh it's so purdy. It's a metallic purplish-black mica (it looks black until you put it in the sun) Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja.
ok so.... after i posted my last message it got me thinking when the hell my last af was so i tracked back through my posts and worked out it was around 25th of April....
hmmmm thats like 40 days ago!! that cant be right!!
so i ducked down to the chemist to pick up a hpt....5 mins later.....
i couldnt believe it i was in total shock!!!
i didnt even have to wait it just came up so dark straight away!!
i told hubby and he must of been the happiest man on the earth at that moment.
i found it odd how we werent trying to get pregnant... well atleast i wasnt...
turns out cheeky buggar has been naughty and slyly pulling out too late on purpose (sorry tmi) hehehe i guess he really really wants this truck load of kids hey!
well i couldnt be upset with him cause it was meant to happen i guess
so here i am still trying to comprehend im going to have two children under two!!
oh dear what am i in for?????
its weird because i kinda had this incling feeling that something was going on inside there but then again i dismissed it thinking nothing of it..
i was craving mexicana pizza as i did with savanna
i felt weird sensations in my stomach
i was not losing any weight no matter how many sit ups and excercise i did on the fit ball
and my pee was a darker colour
so i guess i must be around 5 weeks pregnant now
please send me heaps of sticky vibes!!!!! im so nervousand anxious!!!
gonna go to the doctors tomorrow and get it confirmed 100%
