Noni - Ashas keyring will bring you good luck im sure

Sherie - Lol I thought you must of grown your hair out! Love the t-shirt haha. Have fun shopping you lucky duck!

Hayley - Gosh poor Maddie I hope your doing okay too, I cant imagine what it would be like to feel awful and look after a sick bubba! I hope it clears up soon hon and you get a well deserved rest! Oh btw I put Rory infront of the TV in his beanbag for 1/2 after his bath so I can get dinner ready without worrying where he is! Thank god for 24 hr cartoons on foxtel haha.

Hi JazMum - How are the girls going?? Are they getting through without Chloe?? Must of been so hard on them.

I got about 7 calls on my mobile last night after 10:00! Each time they asked for John, I dont know how many times I had to tell them I wasnt JOHN and I dont know JOHN!!!!!!!! Arghhhh, they didnt believe me though! They were drunk or something because they were ranting and raving. They called a few times Tuesday night too. Its quite scarey really. Its a private call so I cant report it either

Had a tough night with Rory (I jinxed myself). He refused to go to bed! He only went down at 10:00 and even then he woke 3 times during the night. Dont know whats up with him. He has got 4 teeth is he due any more at his age??

What size clothes and nappies are our bubs in??

[Trillian]

Noni, LOL at you having a keyring ready - the last thing you need is to worry about losing it.

Renee, They will have teeth come at any age from here on in really. I would have been so annoyed at "John's" mate calling all the time. I guess the stupid bugger didn't have his number in speed dial LOL. As for clothes, Alister is still in 0's for separates, but they are getting shorter on him now - they all sit just above his ankle now so I think I will *just* get the winter out of them if I'm lucky. Lucky for me he is skinny so they tend to sit lower on his hips too. His jumpers are getting a bit short in the arms too. I have been using sz1 wondersuits and singlets for ages now, and sz 1 bodysuits. Nappies he is still only in toddler ones - haven't had any leaks at all with them so not in a hurry to change them cause you drop down from 90 to 72 in a box then.

I went on a big winter clothes shop for Rory (a month or so before winter) and assumed he would be in size 00. Winter is here and his head hardly fits through some of his jumpers and some of his pants look like 3/4 pants haha. I spent a fortune too! All well he got a fair bit of wear out of them! Ive started buying 0's and they fit quite well, although I do have to fold the arms and legs up on some.
Who would of thought a 9 3oz baby would grow up so small. He is the smallest baby in mothersgroup! I really need to get him weighed! I have been so slack! After almost 2 weeks of trying to make an appointment the MCHN could only book him in for his 8 month appoiment on the 30th July when he is almost 10 months!!!!

Oops no wonder he is leaking! He is still in crawler nappies! Just last week I bought a pack of infant huggies nappies opened them and realised what I had done! Any ideas on what I should do with them? Does anyone want or know anyone who needs infant nappies??

Cally - katie sounds just like Rory atm! We tried and tried to get him to sleep last night but he was just too upset. In the end we gave up and brought him out into the lounge and he was full of smiles.

Renee, Paige was a bug bubba at 9lb8.5 and she was only ever very slim - still is. She's lucky to weigh 15kg dripping wet LOL. Some women grow great size babies in the womb, but once they are born they grow how they are meant to grow. I did buy a set back in March that was a 00 because the top was really big, but the pants weren't all that long at all, so he has worn the top heaps, but the pants were hardly worn at all.

With the nappies, do a post to see if any other Perth girls need them?

ETA - I forgot to say just to take him to a chemist to weigh him. I haven't been to the MCHN since he was 6mths old and I just pop into the chemist when I think to do it. I measure his length myself - I have a tape measure I lay him on and do it that way.

Trillian - we have a Sprout zip jacket too, it's pink and green and it's so handy! And she looks gorgeous in it.

Happy Birthday for yesterday Cally. Those frames are a great idea.

We're in 00 and 0 clothes here too. The 0's are a bit big, but she'll grow into them.
Cally- Lu is exactly the same when she is sick, cries and fusses in her cot but when i pick her up she smiles and laughs at me! cheeky monkey.

Rennee- Bummer on the winter clothes. You'll have to plan your next baby so they fit them! Your MCHN is busy, bummer. Sounds like they need another staff member. I would have been mad at the random caller too, what a bummer the number is private. Next time he rings say you could ask for his number and when you see John you'll get him to call! lol. No don't do that really, you might encourage him.

Trillian- Have a great day shopping, all the sales are on, i got a couple of things in town today, not that i needed anything, just too good a bargain to resist! Not sure if you saw a post i edited, was a bit slow and you had already posted! I saw on a current affairs program about goats milk soap being good for eczema. A mum had a little boy with eczema and found it really helped, so now she milks goatss and makes the soap. My friend has psoriasis and she finds it helps her too. Might be worth a shot.

Noni- how'd you go today?

Lu has started to play peek-a-boo with me, she covers her eyes with her hands and then drops her hands in excitement waiting for me to say boo, so cute.
DH finally finished sowing, so will be home in the evenings, yippeeeee. Maybe we can even think about TTC......... or maybe i'm just mad!

[AnyDream]

Hi all, sorry have been MIA, busy with the double birthday and bedroom "makeovers" LOL!

Cally, a belated but most sincere wish for a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and a very happy year to come as well! How many candles on the birthday cake this year?

MM, don't beat yourself up, just rest up and do what you can to make M comfy, that's all we can ever do.

Noni, congrats hun, I had a very lucky feeling for you, I was so sure this was going to be your week!

Sherie, I'm jealous of your shopping, I have time and proximity to shops but no liquid cash flow (I've got the double birthday to thank for that). It's the same every June *stamps foot* - by the time my finances recover it's July and all the good bargains have been snapped up already! LOL Gonna try to get some Sprout stuff for E for next year cos I noticed it was heavily marked down at Myer.

E has been in Os lately, they fit well but a big long in the leg (she has DH's short stumpy legs). She's been falling over a lot lately (from standing) because she's added to her repertoire of holding on with one hand - she now stands on one leg while only holding on with one hand - OMG she's fallen over that many times! Two legs & one hand OR one leg and two hands, Missy TooLongSmartiepants!

Ange, I remember you from very early on in our thread (I've been reading back over our early posts). Is your DH a farmer?

Renee, you could approach a women's shelter and give them the nappies, I'm sure they are always in need of stuff like that.

Clare I cracked right up when I read you got Kevvie and Miz Reine's boxes! LOL That's the funny thing about living in Canberra, I had an extended conversation one day about what type of Turkish Delight Janette used to have delivered on a regular basis ROFL.

Suzie, welcome to our little thread family. Full sympathy on the sleep deprival, we had a really rough patch back in April, I could hardly function. We're off to sleep school in about ten days, have you thought about doing something like that?

Aaah was going to say something else, has completely slipped thru my brain. V tired tonight!
((hugs)) to everyone and a special shout out to Pregpan - thanks so much for that recipe, will give it a shot over the weekend.

[Cally]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. DH gave me an electronic photo frame, so we can have different photos of K up. It also plays music. So now I have to trawl through all our photos to pick out my favourites - which I was meaning to do anyway to put into an album.

Renee - K is in 0 clothes and crawler nappies. This week she was just under 9 kg and 70cm long. I already find that there is a difference in sizes, she is almost out of the KMart brand, but the Sprout stuff still has heaps of space, I have to fold up the arms.

Noni - I'm sure today will go fine, but I have everything crossed for you anyway!

MM - poor little Maddie. Don't worry about heading back to the hospy or doctor if you're worried, I would.

Trillian - happy shopping!!

Well we had two failed attempts at a morning sleep. I resorted to driving her to sleep. I don't even want to think about how much it cost, but at least I finally have some time to myself this morning! She's getting sick, has a runny nose so I don't think that's helping but she was almost hysterical in her cot and when I picked her up. There was no way she was going to calm down which made me think she was really sick - and then I carried her out of her room and she was all smiles. So she is sick - but also very cheeky!!

[Trillian]

I'm thinking of getting MIL one of those for her birthday too Cally.

The sprout stuff is really good for sizing isn't it? I have a sprout zip front jacket for him in a 0 and it fits just perfectly and I can put it over his jumpers when it is really cold.
