Nelle - your secret is safe with us but we're all so happy for you. I think Rans got the best early birthday pressy ever.
Annie - you go hot thing!
Hi ya Sharleen honey
Helen - please share about your fluffy mail
As for the birthday thing (again) Nelle - our u/s for this bub is the day before Jed's 32nd so he is so excited about it.
Kell - i dont know why my ticker says that, my EDD is the 20th for now (until the u/s) and honey great idea bout what you put up.
BBL having trouble with someone who bought a thomas the tank doona from me off ebay....grrrrr
AnnaT - I agree... I reckon I should be next! With all these pregnancies, I'm starting to seriously consider Clomid again, even though I vowed I wouldn't (due to twin risk)
Maz - Did you get my e-mail of Xanders' cake?
Kell - Yes, 'fluffy mail' is nappies. At least you thought 'fluffy' meant animals... I initially thought of farts in an envelope! Thanks for doing the list.
Shell - I'm 29 at my next birthday too... not looking forward to it, but can't figure out why?
Is anyones' bubs only having one nap a day now? I'm starting to wonder if Xander is trying to switch from 2 to 1 day sleeps... what signs do I look for? It's about this age they go to one sleep isn't it?
Anna**.. have you done Xander's cake?? Oh can i see? I love looking at all your cakes!!! With the sleeps. Last week Jesse only had 1 each day. With his morning sleep.. he'd just lay/climb/crawl around in bed for about an hour (i normally put him in there around 10.30am).. so by the time he woke up it was about 1pm. Then come the afternoon he was wide awake playing, when i tried to put him in there, he'd just do the same, play until it was about 5-5.30pm which is his dinner time. This week he's probably done that every second day. Some days he'll have 2 sleeps, some 1. Im not sure what age theyre suppose to cut one out, i guess its different for each bubs, but yeh id just go on his signs. If he's happy through the day with just one sleep, then id say one is enough.
Im in a crazily happy mood today.. no idea why.. guess ive been thinking lately and i am turning over a new leaf with myself.. I use to be so miserable at my last job that i was always in a bad mood.. now i have everything ive ever wanted.. my Jesse and my hubby.. so its time to spread the luurrrvvvveeeee
Congratulations nelle!! Thats wonderful news to hear!!! Cant wait to follow your pregnancy as it progresses and everyone else to.
I kinda feel left out though as i want to be preggars too! but alas no more kids for me.If i did aaron and i would end in divorce i think! We wouldnt handle the stress.
So i will just have to remember all those old feelings through you gals!
And i really hope you TTC get your positive soon as im sure you would like to join in the excitement of all whats happening too.
Id go the clomid Anna. You'd have as much risk as I did to get twins and even I managed to only get one. Im still surprised about that (but happy I must admit, one more is enouh for me). As for your cake topper - OMG I wish I was as talented as you! If we were in Perth Id pay you to make me a cake. Hmmm I want cake now, might have to make one. Jett usually only has one day sleep (he's on his 2nd today though, think he's having a growth spurt) so if Xander is showing signs of not wanting a second one then I say just drop it and see how he goes - can always pick it back up again if he doesnt cope. Fluffy fart mail, I love it!
Hey Ness, how long are you staying in Sydney for??? Ive been considering ducking up there for a few days if we get enough tax money back (so I can stay in a hotel and NOT at my mother's) and if I can I might tie it in with when your there so we can all meet up!
I layby'd a new pram yesterday - a Phil & Ted's e3 sports buggy (the 2006 model). I got it and the toddler seat for $545 on sale! I am so happy, Ive been dreaming about owning one but never thought we'd have the money (or find one here) but alas I did and I cannot wait to take it for a spin.
AnnaT.. oh sweeet. Thats the pram i want to get when i fall pregnant (if that ever happens!!!). Bargin! How do you pronounce Carys and Thijs?
Anna**.. oh wow! you are so clever! Xander is so lucky to have such a clever mummy, he is gonna be the envy of all kids celebrating their birthdays!!!!
My dibs are on you Anna to be the 3rd for April dues!!
Shell.. hows work going? how many days do you have to work?
A minkie nappy is on its way to me, well soon anyway.
So I guess your house is clean Nelle. LOL.
Leith has been telling me today that it's me, that I will be the third. Hmp that is highly unlikely. Well AF still hasnt come, which is good, because due to ovulation it shouldnt be here until mon-wed next week. Dont know why I would have spotted last night though. Anyways, I have always had irregular AF.
OMG - you guys have been going for it while I have been asleep - I love waking up and reading all the posts....okay gotta do this quickly, while R is still alseep....
Nelle - CONGRATULATIONS, CONGRATULATIONS, did I say CONGRATULATIONS....wow that is great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I'll try and remember what everyone said.
Shell - you must be exhausted, glad work went well and you are right I don't know how people go back full time, I am tired enough as it is. So well done to you. Love the idea about the Sept BB welcome home party, that would be very cool and fun.
Jodi - on the tanty side, yeah I agree she is just trying to get a reaction from you, think we are heading into the tricky toddler age soon with lots of challenging behaviour, gawd!!!!!!!! DH works for a mining company, he is managing a new uranium mine up in Malawi but is based in Johannesburg for the time being.
Kell - sleeps, yeah, it's a hard one, at the mo, R goes down about 11 am till 12 pm but then by 4 pm she is tired again, so I try and keep her awake so she won't stay up till 10 pm but last night she fell alseep having her dinner and then wouldn't go to bed until 10 pm and I am trying to get my uni stuff done in the evenings and DH goes to the gym so it is all a bit painful. Also, loving the preggars/TTC chart - yeah, I am definitely a fence sitter at the moment.
Maz - how are you feeling hun - is the ms getting any better?
Nessa - any signs of ms for you.
AnnaT - how is life going for you, any improvements with things?
Anna - you've gotta be next in the pg line!!
Big Hello, to Belle, Annie, Helen, Chrissy, Caddie, Sharleen, Annie...
A big congrats to Nelle. I was definitely suss on you
Kell - Loved the chart you did. What a great idea.
Anna - On the sleeps thing. James generally only has one sleep a day now. He has been doing this for about a month. I always put him down for a *rest* though. He suprised me and had 2 today. He has just woken up!
Jodi - Did you find Nina's bottle?
Annie - very noice.
Nessa - Is it sinking in yet?
Shell - you are a youngy. I am in my 30's.
laurin - It is strange that you are posting in the morning, and it is late arvo here!!
what to do what to do.... i have just been offered a transfer for my old job.. it would be full time.. so scary ... so wil have to think about this tonight ..yikes.. leaving the kids..
oh oh implantation bleed *maz sreaming with hands waving excitedly* fingers crossed honey
Annie - BIG decission..only you know what is best for you
omsl fart in envelope...i dont want one thanks...pass
Hello everyone else
Have jsut loaded some pics on my homepage of little Miss Vy eating her brothers texture AGAIN!!!!!! Just wanted to share cause their funny and I needed to share my laugh with someone
bl**dy hell - I am listening to Rylee scream her head off - I am trying to get away from walking around the house to get her to fall asleep before I put her in the cot, 1. because she is getting too heavy. 2. Because she is never going to learn to fall asleep herself, so I have been going in every few minutes - this is is h*ll for me listening to her cry, but I can't go on the way I am, it is driving me nuts. It is also embarassing as we are in an apartment block and you can hear her cry outside - so everyone prob thinks I am a bad mother.
ETA Just gave in couldn't stand any longer so did the usual walk and she fell asleep on my shoulder.
God I am tired, I haven't been able to rest all day, had whingy clinger on my hands but think she's caught a cold cause this arvo she started sneezing and her nose is all runny. Hope she sleeps alright though, don't want it getting any worse!
Sharleen- Nice to see you popping by, poor Ambah hope she's feeling better.
Laurin- Big hugs, hopefully eventually she'll learn to fall asleep herself. Does she settle if you sit by her while she is in her cot and maybe pat her instead?
HelenP- I was thinking implantation bleed too and if you have AF like feeling could be preg ones instead.
Annie- Hmm thats a hard decision to make, would be hard going back fulltime and having 2 kids. Were you fulltime before Alexander?
Kell- I'm only doing 2 days week at moment. Might go up to 3 days down the track. Glad to hear your loving your life.
Anna**- We can have 29 midlife crisis together, a friend also said 29 was her hardest year. I think Ash too is trying to cut down to one sleep.
My brain is so foggy I can' think straight, need sleep.
Laurin - anyone who is a mum would know that you are not a bad mum.
James is still wide awake *singing* in his cot. Obviously the afternoon nap has kept him revived and ready to party all night. Just goes to show that he does better with only 1 day sleep.
(quietly)
sharleen. Hope everything is well with you.
so much for only having one sleep a day!
