Sherie - I'm not sure, it says infants on the box? lol. All I know is that it works hehe! Thank you for the GI Info. Is Alister sleeping because you are following the PP guide?

Gracie - CONGRATS!!!!!!! Thats excellent news, go Lewis!

Jazmum - Oh no hope you manage to skip the bug that the kids have. Thats great that Hannah is standing, clever girl.

Leemar - The boys party sounds like heaps of fun but cant say I've ever heard of the car theme you are doing. Is it a kids tv show?

Arte - LMAO at the finger food, oh the joys!

Noni - How did the house hunting go today? MD's tip is a good one re the family tax payment! I must have missed it.

MD - Wow cant believe how fast E is progressing, she will be walking before you know it. Thank you for your GI info.

Clare - How far through your course are you?

Pregpan & Renee come back!

Still no crawling here from Maddie, she seems happy to sit, and lunges forward occasionally. She gets frustrated at toys that are just out of reach so I guess eventually she will discover crawling. Also I can prop her up against furniture and she stays standing there for maybe 5 minutes, so her legs are getting stronger.

I scored an absolute bargain off someone's 'put out your junk on the front lawn' on Sunday arvo. We were driving through a rather affluent area and I noticed that one house had put a baby walker (not one that you sit in but one that the bub pushes along) out the front. So we stopped, much to DP's horror, and I grabbed it. It's in perfect nick and even plays songs and makes random noises. DP was horrifed, what a snob lol. I couldnt care less, they put it out there for someone to take!

i am sooooo sick of this weather!! bloody gloomy and rainy all the time.. makes it hard to get nappies dry too grrrrr..
looking at houses today really wanna get something before ashas birthday so i can just have the party in the backyard.. would make it so much easier! plus then if it rains theres the option of going inside...
haley - well done atthe baby walker.. i agree why not take it especially in such good condition.. the house hunting is going alrite thanks for asking.. i am looking at two houses today so fingers crossed we get something soon..
sherie - glad your getting some good sleep
gracie - oh i think we need the mobile dog washer to come to our place too this weather (been rainy here) is not at all helpful when you have a white dog!
jazmum - clever h with her standing up asha gets the same when i stand her somewhere would rather hold a toy than hold on and then falls over lol
leanne - do the boys know about their cars party or is it a surprise.. how exciting its cute when kids get to the age where they are excited about their birthday!

Hayley, LOL at you taking the walker and your DP being snobby. Thats the reason they put it out there. Friends of ours got boogie boards for their three kids that way the last time they were down in Melbourne. My sisters DP does it all the time in Melb too and he has brought home some great finds - one was a 68cm TV! I guess they traded up to a plasma and just tossed it.

Noni, fingers crossed that the housing fairies are looking down on you today IKWYM about drying nappies - when I used terry flats with Lindsay we didn't have a dryer then so it was hard sometimes to get them all dry. When you get your FTB supplement when your tax is done you should buy a dryer if you don't have one - I think most nappies can go into them?

Another good night here. I'm not game to reintroduce a dinner meal because he is sleeping so well and I don't want to jinx that. I didn't go to bed till nearly 1am and it didn't feel so bad to get up at 6.45 to get the big kids ready because I had a solid block of sleep.

hi everyone
just a quick hello from me - i am here but really busy with work etc. will pop on soon to do some personals - have had a scan of the posts but not read in depth
we had a fab time at the farm, was lots of fun and good to get away. N has a bit of a cold now, but nothing serious. he has 6 teeth now, and is sleeping a lot better now he is over the tummy bug and these teeth are thru. have been up 2 times most nights and last night just 1 feed at 3.30! loving it! DH got backon mon after 10 nights... the outlaws are arrving today for a few days - not happy at all about that, theirt timing is terrible and they dont seemt o care about the impact on us as a family. all about them!
gotta go, i am at work and have a meeting - back later

[Leemar]

Hi Girls,

Hayley- Cars is a kids movie thats out. Its fantastic you should get it DH really enjoyed it too. Its all about Lighting McQueen but the boys call him Speed cause he says before a race.... I AM SPEED....
Noni- No its not a suprise they are really excited and keep asking people are you coming to my birthday party... its so cute
Sherie- MIL is making the cake this year but I will tell her about the ready made kcake tins.
Well no poos yesterday... I am devistated.. I hope he has one today...
Pregpan- I am glad that N has gotten over his tummy bug but hope his cold clears up soon. Bummer about the outlaws...

[*noni*e*]

oh noni discovered strip washing and now her nappies all smell clean and fresh again!! bloody teething wee grrrr..
oh and my little squirt arrived today yipee got my mums dh to fit it to the toilet for me when he was dropping something off hehe have to say its the first time i am dissapointed she hasnt done a poo yet lmao coz i wanna try it out..
leanne - ohhhh how cute i cant wait till asha gets to that age well i'm torn between being excited and not wanting her to grow up lol
pregpan - woooah 6 teeth lol asha only has two
sherie - ahhh the drier lol its a long story.. but firstly idk if i will get a ftb payment at tax time because i chose to get a ftb payment fortnightly to help us out.. and well the drier you see the thing is we have a drier but my dads crazy girlfriend took away the lint filter because she thinks using the drier is a waste of money and we should just hang our clothes out underneath the cover out the back (where their dog can and will pull the clothes off the line i might add!!) so if we have our own place maybe i should ask for their drier since they dont use it.. though i bet they will when we dont live here damn she is crazy!!

[Cally]

Noni - I know what you mean about being sick of the weather, I've given up hanging washing outside this week. It is just extra work to bring it back inside and put it on an airer or through the drier. I want sun!!! Or some real rain, not this dreary weather.

Pregpan - bummer about the outlaws arriving. One nice thing about having mine up the road, at least they don't stay over!

Leanne - fingers crossed for a poo!!

Hayley - sounds like a great find, good on you for grabbing it.

Gracie - woohoo Lewis!!

K is loving pulling out all the folders of DH's uni notes from the bookcase. The doctor wasn't much help yesterday about her ongoing constipation issues. Seemed to think that orange juice would solve everything. I'm not so sure.

DH was late home last night so didn't get to see K. She did not want to go to bed! Really kicked up a fuss. Fingers crossed she is back to her angelic self this evening.

Re daytime sleeps, how consistent are they? ie, if you put bubs down do you know that they are going to sleep for a certain time? We are all over the place at the moment, could be 30 mins, could be 1.5 hours. Very frustrating as I never know whether I am going to get what I want to get done.

[AnyDream]

Oooh Noni, what's strip washing?? Sounds like a domestic goddess trick to me...LOL! I can't believe your dad's gf took the lint filter away, hello, there is a baby in the house...???!! Sounds like she is a bit crazy, good luck with finding your new place! BTW I'm glad you could swap your payment week, it makes all the difference, doesn't it?!

Cally, absolutely no consistency with day sleeps here, there was a patch she went thru where she'd have 1.5 hours and then 45mins -1 hr but there are as many days where it's different, I really can't tell any more! BTW, re constipation, I would try pear juice ahead of OJ as it's much gentler on them.

Leanne, I'm holding my breath to hear whether J has done another poo yet...maybe he's just all pooed out today? You might get a good one later on.

Hayley, woohoo on getting the walker, well done! LOL at DH being a snob about it. BTW, M might get there with the crawling and she might not. Some kids skip it altogether and just start walking instead LOL.

Sherie, good to hear you're having better sleep. Could you just give him a really light dinner, like half the usual amount and a bit of fruit?

Gracie LMAO at extreme doggie makeover. Mine's had his hair done, now he just needs a manicure. LOL

Arte, my DH said petrol over there is now >$2...is that right? Far out you'd want to think carefully before driving anywhere! I can't believe ppl would spend even $1K on a party, let alone $5K or $10K! More money than sense, by the sounds of it.

Well E had a rough night, didn't want to settle after her 11 get up and howled for a couple of hours (!) But then she slept right through until 8 am. So I can't work out if I should still go to QE2 or not. Might have to ring them and have a chat.

Hellooooo im here too!

Ive been reading and keeping up but I havent had a chance to post. This thread is like a fast moving freeway, ive just been trying to find the right time to pull in haha!

Hayley - WTG on the bargain...well cant even call it a bargain when it was FREE, awsome!! Rory isnt crawling either, still happy comando crawling.

Pregpan - Soo glad N is over his tummy bug! Yipeeee!!

Cally - Rory drank a whole baby bottle of apply juice and he was pooping all over the joint! I had never seen so much poo in my LIFE! Maybe its worth a go??

Noni - I am addicted to our dryer! Hope you find a place soon and you can take the dryer with you LOL (im sure if you took it she wouldnt notice LOL)

JazMum - Hope your girls are feeling better soon xxxx

Leemar - Im sorry I missed Jordy going into Hospital. Im glad everything went okay. Im praying he keeps his pooping up!

Ive set up my bestfriend (who I became bestfriends with when she dated my brother YEARS ago) with my brother-in-law whoohoo. They are going on a date Fri night, with D and I tagging along to ensure the conversation doesnt dry up haha (My BIL is VERY shy). She has a 2 year old little girl.

Well better run buggalugs is awake!
