Congrats Ambz!:happyforyou:
Good to hear you are doing well. We been wondering what was going on.
Belle, no not preg, think I'm just tired out, stressed out and need a break from everything. So your m/s still not settling down?
Ness- Hope you are having a nice day with the girls. yay on you getting sleep. I kicked Df to the spare room too last night and slept so well!
Congratulations Ambz, and what a pretty name, she shares a birthday with my daughter :clap:
CONGRATULATIONS AMBZ!! And welcome to the world little Tiarna!!! What a pretty name!
AnnaT.. what a spunky little man.. glad things are going well for you!
Meg.. oh dear.. how rude of your SIL! Did she give you a reason? I think thats terrible. :hugs:
Nessa.. why dont you take the girls down to the park or something. You dont need money for that, then they can run around and wear themselves out while youre getting fresh air. Hmm.. well as a tenant, doesnt matter who the landlords are, if they are going to inspect and make judgements on how you are keeping the place, they need to give you notice of an inspection.. that is your right.
Nelle.. what a cheeky monkey!! Jesse kinda does that in ways. He'll go to touch something hes not allowed to and will sit and watch me, listen to me saying no and will keep going to touch until i stand up then he runs hehe..
Belle.. is that m/s gonna end for you?! I really hope so! ;)
CONGRATS AMBZ
J has a new thing. He spins around in circles till he gets dizzy and falls over!
Congratulations ambz on Tiarna! Glad all is well and hope to see some more gorgous pics!
Maz,i hope mateauz comes through fighting and he only has a mild case.It sounds like you are being positive but please feel free to rant and rave because you must be having a stressful scary time. Obviously someone above feels you are a strong and loving mum because he has given you two special kids to look after.I so wish i lived round the corner but by the looks you have a great network of friends here on BB who have been giving you support. Take care.
Megs ruby does the same thing at the moment but she thinks its dancing!
Ness sounds like you need a hug too.Glad you got a sleep in.Hope your family day is a good one.
Congrats Ambz.. hope that you are settling in well.. she looks adorable in your ticket photo. .
congrats Ambah beautiful name
Congrats Ambz!!! She's gorgeous!

Congrats Ambz!!!!!!
Hmm i didnt get any msgs. hmm hoping i gave you the right no!!! (just checked i did give you the right no. wonder what happened to the sms's
Well the girls had a ball!!! will upload some pics later, but i am beat again. all those hills arent fun
Ambz!! :D Tiana, what a lovely name, and SO stoked to hear she's breastfeeding well! :D Keep up posted on how it goes, so we can help you through any rough patches. Great to hear about a straightforward labour too! How long was your first labour?
Kell, lol on Jesse running away, River sometimes throws something away if I say his name a certain way, even if it's a toy he's allowed to have - kinda like, ooer, just in case I'm not supposed to have this I'd better throw away the evidence. :p And lol Meg on J's spinning! How cute is that!
Shell, I totally would recommend dinner or coffee together (don't do a movie, at least not without a meal, cos you don't talk - I hate movies, they're so anti-social). Do something together even, go bowling or play a game.
Nelle, I think the prob too is we don't really get time to ourselves just us. Its hard to go out for dinner cause we always have to take Ash and then of course we are too busy entertaining her. Because the IL's watch her every Thurs while I'm at work I feel too guilty to ask them to take her while we are at dinner. And my mum still works full time at the moment and lives on other side of town so too hard there also!
Pay them mate. Either with money, or a big box of chocolates and flowers - that way you won't feel guilty. See if they'll watch her overnight even, so you don't have to hurry back. And once one date is finished, pencil in the next one straight away. It really is worth it - we're definitely due for one too.
Hmm well i got some mail this morning, thought i had order 24 prefolds and only got 10?? i dont think i understood the odering as it said 12 pack and i order 2 qty of it.
I mean i paid $50 for what 10??? im confused, maybe it was layers?? i dont know.
i have email her so will see what she says.
Hi Everybody!
Hope all has had a lovely week! Tiana is all better and I am looking forward to taking her to her first class of kindygym tomorrow!! Her new favourite toy is some bead necklaces and a shrek eared crown
- it has entertained her for ages in the last two days...
AMBZ- Congratulations, may you beautiful new arrival sleep well for you in the coming months and I think that you chose a gorgeous name!
NEESA - I'm glad that you are feeling better. Have you tried walking for 1/2 hour everyday? I know its hard to find the time but both my DR and psych recommended that I do this and I found it really helped. Whether it was the quiet time or the fresh air I don't know but it did help.
Well I hope all has a great weekend and gets to sleep at least 8 hours in a stretch.

Shell,aaron and i havent spent anytime alone since last yr in july and that ended up in a huge row.I had just been diagnosed with the coeliacs and my hubby had too much to drink and had abig melt down.Men...and i was the one with the major life change. Anyways we dont have anyone to babysit.My parents live in the next street but my girls are too difficult to leave with anyone at night.They dont self settle to sleep so big issues. Gee i dont know when we will ever have time.Im thinking of asking mum and dad to babysit during the day once before they go away otherwise it wont be till the end of the yr until they get back!!! Its a wonder we still have a relationship.lol
By the way the card arrived and thanx mate! I will have to look up on the computer if im a winner as we dont have that lotto here in wa. If we win we will go halves!
Ok Have finally loaded up the pics from today!!! if you are interested
:happybirthday:Happy Birthday *Annie*!!!:happybirthday:
Well i should have know this was coming, after Annika having the small bout of gastro, last night was Teleahs turn. Poor thing. Was so sick all night. We are off to the DRs today to get them both checked over as well cause Annika just seems incrediably whingy and last night i noticed her pulling at her ears so want to get them both checked out.
Thanks Ness, I feel so weird that im 31.. ??? bit bizarre really. thanks for your wonderful wishes!
I really hope that your girls get better soon, the one thing i hate about gastro is that everyone seems to get it and it leaves you exhausted.. I hope that you dont get it.. make sure you keep up your fliuds.
xoxo
:happybirthday: ANNIE, have a great day
sorry girls i couldnt make the chat last night, i wasnt feeling the best.
:happybirthday: ANNIE! I hope you have a fantastic day!
Happy Birthday Annie!
Ness- Hope all that gastro clears up. Did you sort out those nappies?
caddie- Hope you are a winner! I somehow presumed tattslotto was australia wide! I think they'll have a website with re****s.
Marni- how was kindergym? Ash is really enjoying her gymbaroo at the moment.
Nelle- Hmm I might have to use that idea of a sort of 'bribe' We are hoping to go out sometime next week for our own valentines. Cause i work Thurs we'll miss the actual day but will have our own day. Be our 5 year anniversary cause we met on valentines day.
Df is still not home from his big night out. usually he does crash elsewhere so he doesn't wake us up but he should be back by now so I can get properly organised for work. Grrr.
Just popped in to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIE!
Just got home from mum and dad's so very tired and worn out.
Have a great weekend.. will be back when i have more energy.
Happy birthday Annie! Hope your day is a good one!
:happybirthday: Happy Birthday Annie!!!! :happybirthday:
Hope your special day is filled with happiness.
Ness - Hope you're feeling better today :hugs:
ETA - Oh and I just wanted to say a big woohoo for Ambah - we went to the shops today for about half an hour and I'd forgotten she was just wearing knickers under her skirt and no accidents!!!!! (I've told the girls now though they're not allowed to put knickers on her without telling me - gave me a heart attack when I realised)
Well just thought i would pop in quickly.
Annika has a ear infection so it could explain alot of her whingyness and she also has a fungal nappy rash. so we hit the chemist and hopefully it should clear up soon.
I think i am coming down with what ever they had cept for i cant throw up so i just feel nauseas.
Happy birthday Annie honey - I hope you have a super special day hon.
My birthday was last weekend and I spent it with Mateauz...it was so hard being away from my other kids on it.
Have a little bugger that just wants to cry today..might take him for a shower
BBL
Hi All!!
Happy Birthday Annie! Hope your day is special and filled with love..
Shellbell3 - Kindygym was great! Tiana adored it but she spent a lot of the lesson running away and throwing tantrums when she couldn't do what she wanted to. It is a little bit harder with her though cause she is in a class with toddlers that are 21/2 to 31/2. That was all I could get her into. She will get the hang of it though.
Nessa - I hope your girls feel better soon.. and you get some rest even while they are sick.
Hope everybody has a restful and relaxing Sunday.
Marni
Hey all,
Ambz - huge congratulations to you, that is fantastic news.
Annie - hope you had a great day and were spoilt.
Well moved house on Friday and more unpacking today, tomorrow and for the next few weeks so I am very boring, am staying with a friend at the mometn but will be in the house tomorrow so it will be a bit strange, will be connected to the internet sometime next week if all goes well.
Hugs

Happy Birthday Annie, hope you had a wonderful day.. xxx
I had a friend over for lunch today and then she kindly took millana off my hands for 2 and a half hrs! Ruby slept all this time too so it was nice!
Not much else happening at all! Hubby grumpy cause he working so much and me bored and tired!lol great combo.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
Caddie, time off is awesome isn't it! What a great friend!
Glad your day was special yesterday Annie!
Riv woke from his nap here late this afternoon pretty unsettled - think he's been used to waking at mum and dad's! Took us awhile to calm him down. He's got a runny nose too...I'm keeping an eye on him. Ah well, the dr can check him out tomorrow too - yes, I'm back there tomorrow, it's mine and the dr's one week anniversary. :p My butt really hurts!! Glad to be feeling a bit better though.
Erm Ness. Have you packed your labour bag or anything? This sickness has really thrown me out of whack/behind schedule! I can't remember where I was up to in my nesting...
Nelle- i havent done anything!!!
but i did take a belly shot Here
i really should get off my bum and do *****. Atm i am washing my prefolds so i can take them to the hosp. i need to get some flushable liners though. i dont even have a maternity bra yet.
Really? I didn't make it out of maternity bras. :p B/fing straight into pregnancy again! Get some Bonds maternity bras though, if you can, my Myer have stopped stocking them (I got my colourful Berlei ones from Myer though), but Target should have them, gee they're comfy! My first Bonds one was white and I dyed it bright green! :D But I found a watermelon coloured one too!
I can't believe Ness and nelle its not long til you both pop! Soon there'll be 5 sexy sep mummies with there next bubs.
Caddie- Sounds like a fantatsic day being free for 2.5 hours! hope you relaxed and made the most of it.
Maz- How is little Mat doing?
Went to mum and dads today and went and visited my nana, was nice day Ash had fun just exhausting. When we got home Ash was so wound up she was jumping on the couch and running round like a mad woman!
Brotehrs and sisters start back tonight woohoo.
belated :bday: Annie
Hi girls
Hope you are all well
Im not the best today DH & I have been having quite a lot of issues with our relationship atm and last night was good and I have no idea whats going to happen now, I think counselling is possibly the best to try and work things out. Hope he agrees.
Just wanted to say hello.
Will come back later

Belle,
i think we are going through the exact same issues, but we are beyond couselling.
hugs hun
oh geez ness... Im thinking of you xxxx If you want to talk call me at home, my mobile is dead atm.
Happy belated birthday Annie! Sorry Im behind the times.
Big hugs to Ness and Belle! I hope the boys agree to counselling.
Ness, you look absoutely fantastic! Wish I looked that good at 33wks pregnant. Hope youve gotten over the gastro, nothing worse than catching it when pregnant esp with toddlers to deal with.
Ugh Im so over being a Mama atm its not funny. Im in a rut and feeling trapped. Ripley had 2 good days there and now he's worse than before. He's just sooooooo unsettled and I have no idea why or how to fix it. I rock him, I put him in the swing, I offer a feed everytime he cries, I change him, I give him wind drops or colic drops or panadol (he has a tiny cold), I burp him, I plead with him, I even try to bribe him :lol: Jett is getting worse too trying to seek attention by being naughty so now Im feeling guilty thats it my fault because I dont spend enough time with him. I feel like all I do is yell at him. Rips and I are booked in to the Parents and Babies Unit down here on march 4th for a day stay to see if we can fix him. If it wasnt for the unsettledness things would be a-ok. I just keep reminding myself that he will grow up soon and be much better. Im still breastfeeding even though Im near breaking point, its a huge effort to resist the urge to give him formula *sigh* I want to atleast get to 12wks before I give up.
I was selfish and had a night out on Saturday. I left Ryan at my friends place with the kids, some EBM and her hubby/kids while she and I took our friend out for her birthday. Was lovely to get dressed up and eat a meal without doing Mummy stuff. We also went to a nightclub and had a drink & dance. Got home at 1:30am and didnt get to bed til 3am but OMG it was worth it. I felt human again and didnt even cringe when Rips cried/wanted to be settled, I actually missed him a bit. Funnily enough he slept great that night in 5hr blocks, typical huh.
Hope everyone else if feeling better than me. Preggo gals, I would seriously stay in bed and sleep as much as you can until those babies arrive! Trying to nap with a toddler + baby is near impossible.
