Hi ladies, feeling a bit rattled today after I went in to get E after her sleep and the cot side was DOWN!!! Luckily she was just standing there (like usual) bouncing up and down (instead of pitching head forwards over the side onto the floor). I'm just horrified at the thought of what could have happened, kwim? Just for not paying attention for a second.
Sorry for lack of personals. Haven't had tea or anything yet. Still waiting to hear from Pregpan about her Memorable Birthday .
MM- Please dont worry about M weight. When Jordy and X were babies everyone use to say that Jordy must take all X's milk and food. God that use to **** me off. I would then have to say that actually X ate and drank more than Jordy. Jordy was just natually big but since walking and running he has slimed right down. X is still smaller though. Olivia is also a big girl but I dont care cause I know that thats just the way she is made.
Rainy- Glad you had a great OB appointment. Bummer its only 1. Only joking...
MD- how was the soup. Now I feel like some..
Jazmum- speaking of World Trade Centre my MIL was there the daybefore it happend. I think she feels a connection with the us now and goes there once or twice a year. Glad I dont have to deal with telling the kids about that stuff yet. Hope it everyone slept ok.
Oh went to Target today and put a heap on layby. Got a pink trike for Olivia. Heard all you girls talking about them and they look great too. Got the boys some ride on tractors so they will love them. Hope the weather is ok for tomorrow the news report said we were going to have a thunder storm.
HAYLEY - Were you in the city Sunday afternoon??? I walked into someone who looked just like your DP (I really did walk into him haha) THEN I saw a baby just behind that looked like Maddie!!!
Good Thanx sherie! So busy though! Between woeking 2 full days a week, playgroup twice a week, swimming lessons and organising Rory's birthday I havent had time to scratch my bum haha. I often wonder how OR COULD I manage with 2!! I take my hat off to you Sherie, your amazing! Super mum
Will pop back on later, I need get to Target to get buggalugs birthday prezzie!
Pregpan - I made your salmon balls yesterday and they are scrummy (I ate too many). DD took one look at them and threw them over the edge of the chair so we will try again today. She didn't even bother tasting it! She didn't seem that interested in food yesterday but managed 6 bfeeds!
K has done a little chuck each morning for the last week. Sometimes after her cereal, sometimes before. We haven't introduced any new things do you think it's related to swallowing a bit of mucus from her cold? Doesn't seem to worry her, I just find a bit on the floor.
Yay BB is working again!! (felt like I'd had a limb chopped off yesterday).
Renee, I can't wait to find out if you accidently bumped in to MM's DH and Maddie?! Wouldn't that be freaky! What did you get at Target? I've been dragging my feet re going there, but we popped in yesterday and got a little phone toy for E - it has little buttons like the remote control which she loves and it will be a big hit! Also got this bunny in a box toy, sounds lame but the parents as teachers lady showed me to play games where you put something in the box and encourage E to get it out (helps develop their object permanence) and the box has a magnetic latch and big enough to put other things in.
Clare, I think I'd be loathe to leave Melb too, I reckon it'd be a fantastic place to live. Oh well, just concentrate on the sunny days, the lush greenery and views of Mt Keira you'll have if you move to Woll. Thanks for your reassurance re the cot thingy. After my initial freak out, I'm actually feeling a lot calmer because it showed me that just because there's an opportunity for disaster it doesn't automatically follow that the disaster will occur, kwim? All the same I'm a bit obsessed now and keep peeking in to make sure the cot side is up! The BB centre sounds awesome BTW, did you get a lot from the group?
Pregpan, aaaaah tell us about your birthday!!! BTW I got an Annabel Karmel book at the library and it's got a few good recipes in but not lots, kwim? I saw another book at Paperchain that was just recipes all the way through. Which one do you have?
Leanne, well done on your Target purchases! I think I'll have to have a leisurely wander around in there tmrw when E is at FDC. As it was I couldn't concentrate cos DH wanted me to buy him some stuff and I was too busy worrying if I got the right thing or not.
Rainy I went looking for Batchelor but it's not playing here, we are however getting reruns of Mistresses which is good because I missed some the last time! Hows the MS coming along? Are you getting a bit more rest now?
Ange, I meant to say, on the upside, when you move frequently you don't tow heaps of cr@p around with you! LOL Great for getting those cupboards cleaned out isn't it? We had a year where we did 3x interstate moves within 11 mths )and gave birth and changed careers big year haha). I was sooooo sick of boxes by the end of it!
Sherie, I meant to tell you I've started splitting the banana into 3 (instead of cutting) and OMG it's fantastic! All these years and I never knew...! LOL
Arte, I kwym about the people who spew their life out, I'll never forget the time a tupperware lady came to drop something off and (without me inviting the information at all) I got a half-hour potted history of the entire developmental issues her son had from birth to age 10...WTF?! LOL I was very disappointed to hear the carrot festival was a fizzer. They could've had a pin the carrot on the snowman competition at least!!
Well the sleeping is going reeeeeally well here, E has started sleeping thru! I can't believe it!! I'm a bit worried tho about her not feeding overnight so I might start waking her for a dream feed again. The night feeds are always the best (no distractions) and i want to keep my supply up.
Hi everyone
Hannah is asleep, Jess is at school and Zoe is at Kindy and i'm feeling a bit lonely. Poor me. lol.
cally - i'm so glad your sis has got you the trike. I can't wait until Hannah's birthday so i can give her a go. ( i will though) Hannah still has a little spew - and it is generally after her morning feed. (it's usually weetbix, and it pongs)
ange - when do you have to move? I hope the morning sickness settles enough for you to get organised.
clare - how cool that you got to go to the BB pregnancy centre. I'd love to see it.
$6 swimming lessons!!!!!!!! That's fantastic. Great that she enjoyed herself too.
md - i've only just recently worked out that bananas naturally break into 3 as well. It's so much easier!! I'm so happy for you that E slept through the night. I hope it turns into a regular occurrence for you.
Leanne - i'm glad you had a nice day at dreamworld.
nina - hi and welcome!!!!!
arte - i don't think i've been to the toilet in private for 6 years!!!!! My favourite quote of all time is from Kylie Minogues' character in the movie The Deliquents..."Can't I even .hit in peace?!" You're not having much luck with noise pollution at the moment - i hope your little friend finds a quieter toy to play with.
trill - i hope the itchiness settles quickly. You poor thing. First the elephant man's lovechild, and now this....
renee - i can't wait to see photos of Rory's party - i think you're going to have a ball!!
mm - I hope Maddie gets better soon.
i'll be back soon - have to do school pickup - i've got to wake Hannah up - gee i hate doing that.
thanks for the very warm welcome everyone, I really enjoy reading your posts, anyway just want to ask, September is fast approaching anyone organizing the bubs' 1st birthday party?
MM- Turns out I only have a Virus. Sore throat started last night. So now I am on AB's.
Jazmum- Enjoy your mumma time.
Nina- Olivia is having a Pink Party. Just having a BBQ with friends and family coming over.
OMG my baby will be 1 very soon...
Cally- LOL at you running up and down the aisle hyper...
Sherie- Glad the hives are better.
OK who knows how to cook red meat!? I just made hamburgers for Maddie, mince, wostershire sauce, onion, carrot and two egg yolks. She devoured them like crazy, but I think I'm doing something wrong as the hamburgers crumbled apart and she couldnt pick them up easily. Is it due to not using the full eggs or does mince just tend to crumble apart?
Re parties, we are doing something small at home I think. Still planning it.
Hi MM
Try to add something to 'bind' them - maybe some breadcrumbs? that may help...though if she loved them, then who cares if they fell apart!! yummo, i may make some for N, just thinking he prob doesnt eat enough red meat...
Re the phenergen - i agree re testing it, as i have heard of others with Cally's reaction LOL!!! i also know a few ppl who have done it and it has worked. I do know yo uhavwe to pretend your bubba is over 2 to get it, so for me that makes it a no go... we are off to bali at at end of aug and i figure i will just deal with how N is, but your flight is longer!!
Drat Pregpan, I very nearly successfully started a rumour that it was memorable because you had some "news" to share! LOL Aaaah the perils of the pram not being in the car! Sounds like it was a comedy of errors from the get go.
MM, re the phenergan, I'm not really in favour of using a sedative to get through a journey. I'd be saving it for desperate circumstances, I'm thinking long haul flight to Europe! I guess you could take it with you and decide depending on how well she is travelling or not. ETA - if it's not available under 2 yo I'd be erring on the side of not giving it unless you've talked to your dr and been given the correct dosage regimen.
Sherie, show us your invites!!
Leanne, I like the idea of a colour-themed party. Will you have pink food too? (MD's brain starts ticking over - you could have beetroot dip with a bit of sour cream mixed in, pink kranskies, cup cakes with pink icing, pink marshmallows, iced vovos, fairy bread with pink sprinkles, watermelon - (pink-ish) and strawberries, pink lemonade)...! What fun
Hi Nina, I think I'm the only one here NOT organising a party LOL! How's the pregnancy going?
Jazmum, it's strange when there's no one here too. I keep going to E's room to 'check on her' and then realise she's across the road LOL! You're showing your age, talking about the Delinquents, I had one of those moments the other day when I was talking about Nicole in BMX Bandits PMSL! Aaah I hope we've got a bit of wisdom to show for it...?
BTW, to soothe all your envy, the sleeping through was apparently a once off. E was up twice again last night! However, nice to know that it CAN happen once in a while.
I missed out on going back to Target, I was going to nip up in the last hour of E being at FDC but I got the dreaded phone call from school instead. DD1 did not take a water bottle to school and has made a miraculous recovery upon arriving home and drinking a large glass of water. She will *not* however being going out to GGuides tonight! Am I a mean mummy?

MD- DH did a test run of Pink Crackles. Instead of using Cocoa he used Pink Quick... They turned out great... lol. Maybe E was teasing you with sleeping a full night. Any way hope it happens tonight.
