hello everyone

leanne- sorry you had a mini breakdown- i think i'm due for one of them soon too! sometimes it all just gets to be too much. i imagine it must be very hard for you with the twins and the newborn. you have a lot on your plate girl!

fianne- sounds like you've made the right decision hun. you given it a really good go, so should be proud of that.

sherie- can't wait to see the photos of you and md. i'm so glad you guys got to meet up. it's awesome. i wish we all lived in the same state!

arte- i know a few bomfocs!! we tend to call them 'good from far, far from good' ha. so nasty!!!

Yay, glad MD hasn't disappeared! It sounds like you had a good time, can't wait to see the pics.

I looked over today and W was sitting up in his bouncer, all I could see in my mind was the pic of Alister tipping onto the floor lol Is it still safe to use the bouncer once they start doing that?

I will upload one of the big kids together too.

Arte, I still use it, I just make sure he is always strapped in now. Although tonight I just sat him in it without the straps because it was only while I got his bottle ready and by the time I came back he'd fallen out LOL - and he wasn't so happy this time either. I love that term too - rude but so very apt for some people.

Hi Gracie! I wish we all lived closer too. I feel a bit envious of all the city meets sometimes cause I'm so far away.

Sherie the pic is great. Both Miss E and Alister look adorable.

Gracie we call them DDW's- Distnace does wonders lol.

Arte Logan is the same with the getting distracted. Lol at W loving the So you think you can dance song, thats cute.

I can't beleive I am still awake, I am so tired but not tired enough to sleep IYKWIM. It has started to rain here, looks tomorrow will be a boring day .

What a couple of cuties!

I used to think that 'good from afar but far from good' was an apt description of myself, but then I got fat and now I'm not really good from anywhere lol

Katie, I am still up too. I know I should go to bed, W is still getting up 3 times a night. Boring times around here too.

JaZmum, how is Hannah's tummy? Do you have a family history of gluten intolerance? The chemical that causes the intolerance can go through the breastmilk and I think it causes a greater reaction over time. Have you tried a gluten or sugar free few days to see if there is an improvement? How was the first week of school?

I forgot to organise the Brisbane meet-up. This is my last week here and I don't think I am going to have time to do it now.

I am a bit ****ed at my in-laws. We asked if they wanted us to visit them at easter of if they wanted to come up to see us but they d1cked around for a few weeks and now they have finally decided to organise something the airfares are twice the price. FIL kept saying 'we will see what happens with the house' (we get company housing), which was really annoying because we will definitely have a house of some description - we won't be living in a tent.

They are cuties aren't they?

urgh at your IL's, I get really peeved at people who are indecisive and wont commit to a plan, it's not hard to say yes or no.

Hayley, I meant to reply to you before, but forgot. Don't worry about the tummy time - some babies just will not have a bar of it, but that doesn't mean that they are behind at all, just that they hate tummy time.

[fianne]

hi ladies! looking forward to seeing photos of alister and miss e.

is there a guideline anywhere of when babies are ready to go from capsule to car seat? i put max in the car seat today and it was a good fit. straps weren't even in the lowest hole. the car seat we've got has the insert for infants. this is a second hand one that a friend had given us so i don't have any manual or anything. i want to put max in it because i think it may make car rides better for her and if she was facing front, she can see me and i can talk to her and it would hopefully make for a more peaceful car ride.
brisbane/qld ladies, are we able to meet up before arte crosses the tasman sea?
eta: this was typed yesterday and forgotten hope everyone'd having a good weekend

ok, i've gone through the posts since i started this....
...ms e and alister are such cuties!!! and nice to put a face to names, sherie and md!
...would've really like to have met you in RL arte, but i do understand how hectic things can get with the move. good luck
...arte, isn't it such a pain in the a$$ when people just can't make up their mind? i tend to make it for them. lol

morning,

Arte grrrr at your inlaws. I cant beleive you will be going so soon. Let us know if you do have any time for a catch up.

Fianne I am not 100% but I think they recommend forward facing car seats at a certain weight, about 9kg I think. It is just a guidline though and many people turn theres around when they think their bubs is ready.

Its has poured down here all night, my front garden is stating to pool. I much prefer it when it rains at night, I have a few loads of washing to do and I hate being stuck at home with nothing to do on the weekend- it means I have to clean my bathroom lol.

[Isadora]

Sherie - Oh that pic is so cute! Looks like you guys had a fun time. Have you ever met before?

Fianne - Thats good that you are happy with your decision. As you know you have done so well to BF for that long. I had Maddie on formula on week 2! At the time I felt like the worst mummy ever, but looking back I'm glad we made the decision to go formula. Whatever works for you both I guess.

Arte - I have since realised (partly from everyone's comments, thanks girls) that the CHN was over exaggerating. Maddie does the same with flapping around the arms and legs and face planting. However she has her moments when she gets right up there. Since I've been putting her on the tum heaps more there is already improvement. I think the CHN was also worried about the fact that she has a bit of a flat head at the back, so I need to get her off it as much as possible. I cant believe you are leaving for NZ so soon, I was thinking it was at least a couple of months away!

Katie - Are you waiting till 6 mths before starting Logan on solids? Only one still BFing, well done.

I went to a pash party last night, which is kind of like an adult shop party but not as tacky. It was a good laugh thats for sure! A lot of the girls bought scary looking sex toys, but I'm not into any of that hehe - instead I bought a game called 52 weeks of romance, and the whole idea is each week someone takes a card, and it will say for example leave a rose on your partners pillow or greet your partner at the door after work with a big kiss and their fave home cooked meal. Some are a bit corny, but we need to put the romance back into our relationship after 7 yrs and a baby!!

I've just added 3 more pics to my gallery, we had a photo shoot the other day Check out our little chubba bubba! Bigger boobies than mummy!

[Ozstar]

Hayley she is adorable, check out the little boobies- to cute. Did you play games at the pash party? I had one of those types of parties for my hens night and we played some pretty outrageous games. I am not puting Logan on solids until he is 6 months, we aren't in a hurry after all we have loads of time for him to eat real food. He has had rice cereal twice in the last two weeks.

We have had such a boring day today. Logan still doesnt seem to be hungry, he takes the breast butthen doesnt want a bbottle or doesnt have very much, I am hoping it means he doesnt want formula anymore. Otherwise I guess it could be teeth?? He is still a happy little monkey so I am not worried and just let him lead.
I hope everyone has had a good weekend. I hope LP is back on soon and that everything is ok.

time for a new thead again
