Babies Born September 2007 #25

[*noni*e*]

well we didnt get the house surprise surprise.. owner knocked back all the applications and put it back on the market. way to waste ppls time.. i am so over it we are never gonna get anywhere we like coz we are obviously not good enough

[Isadora]

Noni - What a bummer! Do they have the shared equity scheme over there where you buy a 60% share in a house and the govt put up the money for the remaining 40%? We have noticed a heap of first home owners here in WA using that scheme to get themselves into their own home. You should look into it. Rental properties are in high demand so owners can afford to be fussy and get top dollar rent as well. Yay for Asha on saying mumma!

Pregpan - Can you use cows milk in cooking for babies? The fish recipe sounds delish! Thanks for posting I'll be giving it a go.

Renee - Maddie isnt taking a full bottle anymore either. Its strange! Maybe MD is right with the change in weather theory? I guess as long as they arent waking at night hungry then they are fine.

Marydean - Wow E is doing well having a full weetbix! When Maddie was interested, she was taking 3 cubes of solids per meal.

We have another vegemite lover here!!!

I've just done the sneekiest thing girls...as you all know we are going o/seas later this yr and we left it up to the in laws to book it all. Well they requested adjoining rooms in the hotels!!! Ahhhh! So I've put a stop to that, just called the travel agent and they have discretely changed those plans so we will be having our own seperate rooms with no way of the MIL bursting in 24/7 lol. I am so naughty. Just hoping that we dont get there and they say no we wanted adjoining rooms and change it, seeing as they arrive during the day and we arrive at night. (they are coming from London rather than Perth like us)

[*noni*e*]

oh gosh ajoining rooms full on!!!
dunno about the money thing but we have none so cant buy anyway

[Artechim]

Noni, it isn't your fault that you didn't get the house. I am sure something will come up when you aren't expecting it.

Pregpan, gee N loves his food! W still refuses to eat from a spoon.

Ozstar, forgot to say WTG Logan for the crawling! All the bubs are doing so many new things it is hard to keep up now. You seem to be tired a lot at the moment, is he still not sleeping well or are you just busy lately?

Well, I tried to pat/rub/shush W to sleep instead of feeding last night and it was a disaster. I fed him the the first time, rubbed him back to sleep after the first wake up, then he woke 10 minutes later and was getting upset so I fed him. Rubbed him the next two wake ups then feed him at the next one (my boob was sore). It was only midnight and he had already woken 6 times. He woke another 3-4 times before he decided to get up at 5am. I just can't stay awake to be consistent if he wakes at the end of every sleep cycle. It is impossible to rub and shush for 20 minutes when he wakes up half an hour later and I have to start again. Maybe if it was only 2 or 3 times a night I could manage it but with this amount of waking I can't. At least if I feed him as soon as he wakes I am only awake for a couple of minutes and can go back to sleep. So it was a bit of a failure for us. Not sure what to do, I am worried that this will continue for months more and I really do need to get a decent sleep at some stage.

ETA Hayley, I think you are fully entitled to switch the rooms! Nothing less romantic than the inlaws in the room next door

[Isadora]

I know...how romantic!!! lol. They have no idea hey. I just hope to hell that they dont convince the hotel staff to provide us with adjoining rooms. I hope I havent made a big mistake here by going on holiday with the in laws....

[Artechim]

Hopefully the hotel will be booked out so they can't switch it back. Do you get along well with them usually? At least you have baby sitters handy if you and DP want to go out for a bit of alone time

[Leemar]

Hayley- Hehehehehe I love it... We were suppose to go to vegas with DH in Sept but I didnt want to spend the money. Now he is asking us to go to Aspen in Feb so I told him I would think about it.. My MIL is going too... Thinking Thinking and Thinking....

Art- Do you use dummies?

Renee- Olivia is not drinking all her bottles either.. I was thinking it was because of her eating her solids and I have been giving her water too.

Noni- Sorry about the house... I know you will get one soon...

[*noni*e*]

omg asha just wont shutup! i know thats mean but shes really getting on my nerves winge winge winge and i have no idea why!!! shes having her needles this avo so tmw sure is going to be fun if this is what its been like today!!!
waaaaaaaa nothings going right for me atm...

[Ginger]

hello lovely ladies

renee- so sorry about your aunty hun. give your poor mum a big cuddle...

leanne- hope jordy is doing better. poor love. i'm on movicol too (sorry tmi!) i love the stuff! it's great, i was going to say to you, sometimes it takes a few days to take effect but when it does, it's fantastic.

pregpan- you sre such a little nigella! i love it

noni- sorry about the house, that sux!

hayley- well done on changing the mil's plans. you sneaky little thing!

arte- sorry you're having such a hard time with w's sleep atm...

hi md and sherie and katie!

i've been so lazy girls and haven't bothered taking lewis to the mchn for his 6 month check up. i'm so slack! i just can't be bothered cos she's so useless anyway, i just feel like it's a waste of my time. anyway, will have to make an appointment for next week i think. i don't even know what he weighs now....mmm might jump on the home scales with him and see.

for any of you that are spotlight vip members apparantely there's a catalogue coming out in the mail in the next few days that lewis is in. i haven't seen it but i'm told it's a full page spread ad for mini b brand cot sheets. keep your eye open for him. we have a casting in the morning for a target catalogue too so fingers crossed. i'm such a friggin stage mum now i can't believe it! lol

oh btw, i was flicking through my digital camera and found a photo that is eerily similar to my avatar- i've put it in my gallery..check it out for a laugh

[Artechim]

I just taught Will to wave! It is very cute and I got it on video

Leemar, I tried a dummy but he won't take it

Renee, hope your aunts growth is nothing sinister. They found a lump on my bowel when I had my 12 week scan but said that it is very common.

Gracie, that picture is cool, you are hot! Cool news about the catalogue!

Noni, Will has been a grumper today too.

[AnyDream]

Big hug Noni, you're turn will come! I hear you on the whinge whinge whinge...always happens when you're at your lowest too . Maybe she will surprise you tomorrow and be happy and laughing!

Gracie - freaky about the photo LOL. You'll have to tell us what page Lewis is on so we can all have a sticky and admire our famous friends! Speaking of which, did McLeod's Daughters ever come back on tv?

Arte, well done W with the waving...we were at the FDC lady's house and all the kids were waving good bye and I might've imagined it but E sort of flapped her arm in a deliberate fashion...ok well definitely not a wave but I wondered if it was a pre-wave LOL.

Katie OMG I'm so daft at the moment, I think I completely missed you telling us that Logan is crawling...?! Sorry hun.

[Ozstar]

Gracie I have the spotlight catalogue and see the add. Is he wearing a knit jumper and hat? He looks so cute with his little toothie grin (looks very different) Freakish about your AV pic, they are very alike.

MD lol at you missing about Logan crawling, there is always so much going on in here its hard to keep up. I cant for the life of me remember who's bubs have teeth lol.

Arte thats so cute that Will can wave, he is so clever. You know DH said something to me last night about being tired all the time, I think because Logan is sleeping better my body has to adjust to the extra sleep. Well thats what I hope anyway, I will keep an eye on it.

Noni sounds like you have had a crappy day. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

Hayley OMG at the adjoining rooms, good on you for changing it..I would have done the same thing.

Renee big I hope your Aunt is ok.

I totally forget everything else I was going to say.

[AnyDream]

Hehe Katie - I know why you're tired, it's because Logan is crawling !

ETA - my Spotlight catalogue seems to come via drover's wagon from SA or something... I'll be waiting awhile before I catch a glimpse.

[Ginger]

mmmm katie....no hat and no knit jumper...don't think that's him lmao, must be some other spotlight baby. is it the vip members catalogue?
congrats on logan crawling- what a little champ!

i'll have a look and see if i can download the proof into my gallery..be back in a tic!

eta- *ok* just checked my email again, tried to upload the pic to my gallery but couldn't do it cos it's a pdf. i'm so computer illiterate! apparantly when you get your spotlight vip catalogue in the mail you also get an extra one page ad sheet for mini b sheets which he is on. it's also supposed to be the back cover of the june edition of 'get creative' magazine that you buy instore. i might have to go down there in the next few days and check it out for myself

i really want some chocolate and there's none in this house. do you think af might be making her second appearance?? hope not

[~mamaspice~]

Hello everyone. Just popping in to say thankyou very much for all the Happy Birthdays yesterday.

My holiday is finished and back at work today

Charli has started to say her first word - bubba! I'm hoping mumma is just around the corner . Way to go asha for saying mumma! Noni, don't stress, you will get the right house soon enough.

Sorry this is brief. I'll have to catch up on all the posts on my day off on thursday.

[Patooties]

Hi everyone
Gracie - i found it!!!! He's soooo adorable! As soon as i read your last post, I went and fished the catalogue out of the bin ( through the girls uneaten spaghetti bog!!lol) I found the one that Katie saw, and then i just went and found the page you said, under a bit more spag bog)
Leanne - how would you feel about taking Jordy to see a Bowen practitioner? Hannah was only going once every 5-6 days, and after her last visit, she's been going every day.
I hope your family is all better really soon.
Fianne - congratulations!!!! Glad you had a great time - a shame that you didn't get to spend as much time as you would have liked to with your sis
Katie - yay at Logan crawling - it's harder to relax now isn't it!
renee - i hope everything turns out to be ok for your aunty. to you and your family.
cally - i'm so glad that sleep school worked out so well for you all. You must feel fantastic.
md - when do you express? I haven't done any this time either, and i think i need to. DH has passed up some great nights out for the 2 of us, because I need to feed Hannah. Have been thinking about introducing formula, but i just don't know what to buy and how to start.
noni - i hope asha has settled for you.
i'm sorry everyone - i'm getting a cold and am all stuffed up - i meant to do personals for everyone, but now i can't remember. Hi to you all XXX
Our weekend away was lovely. dh was in the bridal party, and so wasn't around to help me get everyone ready. There was a lot of swearing happening that day, as nothing seemed to go right. Hannah was tired, and so screamed every time i put her down, Z's pretty outfit had a malfunction - so had to find something else at the last minute - Hannah pinched my nipple and made it bleed, and i got a ladder in my only pair of stockings!!!!! I was able to laugh about it once i'd calmed down though.
Hannah is also waving - she just moves her hand from her wrist (for anyone that's old enough to remember Victoria Nichols off Sale of the Century - it's a little similar to her wave lol.) When she does it she says ' Ha' for 'hi'. it's so gorgeous.

eta - if you google spotlight catalogue - you can find the picture of Lewis!! It's the 'brighten up the kid's bedroom one - page 2.

[*noni*e*]

hey there..
my gp kinda burst our bubble tonight when he said they are babbling but babies dnt say words for ages yet idk i thought she did but maybe it is just babble??
gracie - i get the spotlight vip catologue will keep an eye out.. wow someone told me i should put Asha in adds because shes so beautiful and could pay her way in uni from the money she would make lol...

[Patooties]

hi noni - i may have tended to agree with the dr at one stage - but after hearing Hannah say 'ha' for each time she waves her hand - i'm not so sure. She says 'dadada' but i know that's just babble.
