HAPPY BIRTHDAY RENEE:cheer:
Hope you have a wonderful day
Sherie- WTG A you are amazing.
Rainy- Glad the Doula is great
Noni- Yep I will put some on FB
MM- I hope Maddie gets better. Poor bubba
Oh I forgot to tell you all that Olivia got both her top teeth the day before her birthday.... We now have 5 teeth... yippeeee
Go Olivia! How was she when they finally came through Leanne? I hope it wasn't troubling her.
G, Glad to hear that you really like your Doula. What a bummer about L and his sleeping again :( I don't know what to suggest that would help that I haven't suggested already.
Sherie- OMG she was really good. Her Dermatitis is all gone too so I am thinking it had something to do with her teeth. I am just really happy she is not like X as he was the worst for getting teeth.
OMG Sherie, Leanne & Amanda thank you for remembering xoxo. This time last year I was having a stretch & sweep done for my birthday haha, glad im not this year!
Happy birthday Olivia, Logan and Leila xoxoxox Hope you all had wonderful birthdays!
Hope everyone is doing well. Ive been running around like a fruitcake for the past few weeks. Unil last week when I got FIRED! I got to work and as I got out of the car my boss came up to me and told me he doesnt need me anymore because there isnt enough work on! Grrr and after all the stressing out I had gone through to find a baby sitter for Rory. Mum quit her job and took on a night job just so she could have him! So professional, firing someone in the car park! Good thing we werent relying on my pay for the mortgage etc....Okay rant over!
Hayley - Im so sorry to hear about Maddie's ear infection. Im praying that it clears up right away. Was it the holiday to KL thats coming up soon???
Sherie- Whoaa I cant believe how smart Alister is!! What a clever cookie ;) He must learn alot from his big brother and sisters.
noni - Are you hoping you are pg??? How has little Asha been sleeping?
Rainy - How is your pregnancy going?? Are you finding out the sex?? Have you been shopping like mad...c'mon I bet you have..fess uP!
Im so sorry I have missed out on so much guys. Im a bad bad belybelly friend :(
Rory is amazing. Every morning when I walk into his room I get an overwhelming feeling of joy. He is perfect in every way and we are so blessed to be his parents.He is always happy and constantly laughing. He can sing along to the backpack song on dora.. ba pa ba pa! I ask him what the lion says and he replys 'raaaaaahhhhh' He throws kisses and walks along with his push along car.
DH went for an interview yesterday for a 8/6 roster up north. I pray that he gets it, I would see him more than I do now.
Just a quick one from me to say Happy Birthday Renee! :happybirthday: Hope you're having a wonderful day. OMG I can't believe he fired you in the carpark. Obviously the man doesn't know when he's onto a good thing.
Very impressed with all the stories of the amazing things all the bubs are doing. Isn't being a mummy FUN?? :D
Noni, thanks for getting Cinta sorted out with FB. Cinta you should probably take your email down out of the post (security reasons) but there's a place in your user profile where you can leave contact info like that. :) BTW Noni, I'm following your charting thread with bated breath!
OK, better go, it's all going downhill here. xxx to all. Will try to catch up tmrw.
Thanx MD! How has H been going at school? Last I read she was going through a bit of a tough time with the girls at school. Boy I know how horrible some girls can be! Hope everything has sorted itself out now and she is happy.
Oh I forgot to mention that the ONLY and I mean ONLYYYY thing Rory will eat is Tuna friggin Morney!! So I have found ways to sneak in corn, zuchinni and other veg but its still so frustrating! Yesterday afternoon I spend the whole day making him a yummy veg dish and he spat it out as soon as I put it in his mouth arghhhhh! I cried. He just wont eat anything else!
Thanks for asking R, they got it sorted (after a huge process with the deputy principal) and now she's got her own little posse of friends (hallelujah I can sleep peacefully at night now). The whole thing has now been cemented as they had a bring a friend night at Guides yesterday, H invited all three and they were desperate to go along and 2 might be joining. Met all the mums and seem like nice families too. Oh I am soooo relieved, it is so nice to hear H complaining about stuff that totally doesn't matter when I pick her up from school instead of the latest tale of who was nasty!
:confetti::confetti: I got a S&S for my birthday last year as well, what a thoughtful gift.... :pHappy Birthday Renee
Well, Sarah is sounding very behind after all your stories. I hope I'm doing things right with her. Any special tips that have gotten your bubs going?
Had S weighed the other day and she is 8.6kg and 74cm long at 11 months of age. Thats sort of in the low end of the scale I think. She looks healthy and eats pretty well when shes not sick just a bit frustrating when everyone puts out that she is small for her age. :(
Kate, I hear you! M always gets the 'gee she's a big girl' comment, so we have the opposite to you! Theres always someone who has to comment and make you worry. As if us mums dont have enough to worry about. I'm sure S is fine, has the health nurse said otherwise? Dont worry Maddie isnt doing too special either iykwim, ie she doesnt 'neigh' like Will or do things that Alister & Rory are doing lol.
Renee - Happy bday!! Hope your DH gets the job. Must be hard having him away alot. Dont worry tuna mornay is very nutritious, Rory will become more adventurous with food in time. I've slaved away in the kitchen only to have my cooking spat out as well, not a nice feeling I know. Yep off to KL & Penang in a week. I'm so glad you feel that way about Rory, he really is adorable. I almost cried reading what you wrote about him! Being a mummy is fun thats for sure.
MD - Oh thank god the bullying is over! Must be a huge relief for all of you.
Rainy - Glad you found a suitable Doula. Cant believe you are 15 wks already. Well M's ears should clear up by then, but if not I really dont know? We will still go, but I dont know what to do to combat the pain? I'm sure it will be fine. We are having another visit with the doc tomorrow after 2 days on antibiotics just to make sure they are working well, so if not I'm sure the Doc will come up with something else. She knows we are off o/seas in a wks time. I also have a final visit with the doc the day before we fly out. Crack baby lol!!
Trillian - I agree Alister is so far advanced. The slide is a nice birthday idea, lucky boy. He sounds so clever.
Noni - Did you test? How exciting!
I went to target tonight and came across two lovely in the night garden books which I will put away for M's bday. She is loving reading with me atm. Also bought some summer clothes...couldnt resist! My mum also bought M some of those croc shoes today, I think they are so ugly when an adult wears them but they are ok on children!
Did I mention I got an ergo for going o/seas?! Its fantastic!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RENEEsorry i missed that...
well i did a test and it was negative.. but then all last night i felt super sick kinda like i did with dd very early in the pregnancy.. and i still dont feel crash hot this morning.. still no af not gonna test again till atleast tmw and will do it in the morning if no af still.. or maybe i'll wait even longer not sure..
mm - ohhh i love my ergo.. dont use it as much as i should but its really great!! what a good idea for going o/s!
kate - i often feel like asha is behind too after reading how clever all these bubbies are!! ashas not walking yet and only says a few words and not really in response to anything lol...
anyway better go and get her some breaky before she destroys the place...
MD- Glad the bullying is sorted out. Kids can be so cruel. Must be a relief to have a happy little girl again. I dread all those things when Lu starts school.
Kate- average for 11months is about 9.2kg. 72.5cm. So you just tell all those 'commenters' that she is actually tall for her age. And perhaps a little lean, but she just has a great metabolism! I do think people comment to make conversation, they just don't think about how it could make a mother feel. People are always saying Lu is big for her age, but she is on the average line for all her measurements. I just smile and nod, and roll my eyes in my mind! ;)
Happy birthday for yesterday Renee. :cheer:
MM- Ergo is a great buy, you'll never look back! How long until you go?
Rainy- NEVER weigh yourself woman! Particularly if you're feeling frumpy. I havn't weighed myself since bun started baking. How'd the sleep go ast night?
Had a scan yesterday, everything all good. 13 weeks yestaerday.
Trill- Alister sure is a little sponge. Clever boy absorbing all the info. Can't believe he can walk backwards!
Speaking of clever little boys, has Artechim been around lately? maybe i've missed a few pages...
Lu has 2 new teeth poking through, 8 now. When i give her something, or she gives me something, i say thank-you. But oddly enough she has started saying 'Ta'. Bizarre, as i never say it. I guess it is her interpretation of Thank-you though. :dunno:
Off to osteo, bbl.
Renee happy birthday for yesterday.
MM I love my ergo too, but I don't use it as often as I should.
Rainy good to hear you found a doula, I am sure it is going to make loads of difference to your labour.
Ange wow 8 teeth, L only has 5 and a bit. Woo hoo on making it to the second trimester.
Noni I hope the second test comes out with the result you want.
L's party tomorrow, have made a few things already this morning with a few more to go my kitchen looks like a bomb went off. I also have some people coming around for photos today and haven't cleaned up the studio from the last shoot, I am so lazy. Had best be off the oven is beeping at me.
Have a great day and Hi to everyone I missed.
Hi Girls!
Wow it feels like AGES since i have been on here! read through most of the posts, but as usual, when i come to write it all turns to mush!
thanks for all the birthday wishes for Leila... i too got all emotional and could barely keep it together at mum's group. especially during key times of the labour from the year before...like when my waters broke, when DH arrived and of course when miss L made her debut.
Renee: Sending you BIG belated Happy Birthday wishes...hmmm a S&S for your birthday! who was a lucky girl then?? LOL!
Sherie: aawwww IKWYM about watching all these milestones. i watch with pride, but also watch with some nostalgia for a stage passed.
Ange: wow 8 teeth! how amazing is that?!! and congrats to second trimester....ahhh how i loved that time! gorgeous blossoming belly and no m/s! congrats on the good scan. great to see those little arms and legs isnt it!
Kate: yeah leila is in the same boat. she is pretty tiny for the average. but i think she looks healthy and happy and that's all that matters. she was born small, and i guess that's just her! L has her appointment on monday so we'll see how she is going then...
Noni: LOL! i hear ya on the 'destructo baby' front! it looks like a tornado rips through our lounge every morning.
Rainy: woot woo on a nice doula! pretty exciting stuff! i'd love to have one if there is a next time.
MD: hmmm not sure if there are any amazing bubby things going on here ATM! LOL! unless you count 5 poos a day.;)
anyway best be off DH and his MIL are alone in lounge together and things have been getting strained over hte last two days as it is. Man, i hate family crap sometimes. it always seems so nice from a distance, but then highly disappoints. oh well.
Hi Girls,
Just a quick one from me... I have posted some photos of liv's party and will post some on FB today too.
have a good one
the pics are gorgeous leanne, olivia is a stunner
you sneaky girl not telling us it's your birthday on sunday MD........
LOL Rainy don't you worry I'm not shy about it...quite happy to remind ppl who look like they've forgotten :lol:...just haven't quite caught up with the fact, more focussed on Bettybub's big day next week! Plus it will be a bit lame this year without my main man to shower me with gifts and adoration. LOL Like I always say, it's not your birthday until you've had your birthday b*nk ;) - looks like i'll be waiting until October for mine PMSL.
ETA - Leanne, love the pictures, well done with the cake. I love the picture of O with the ribbon in her hair looking like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth :D
Clare, 5 poos a day, be sure to remind her of that when she turns 21, won't you! It's gotta be some kind of record! :lol:
Ange, wow 8 teeth, E's still working on getting number 3~! Agreed ppl sooo don't know what they are talking about size wise, E is 76 cm but everyone always says how tall she is...?! According to her clothes labels, that's average for 12 mths!!
MM be sure to ask your doctor about stronger pain relief for M in case you need it on the airplane, they do have codeine and other options available but you need to get it on a script so it's absolutely the perfect dose for her size, and not too much, kwim?
Better go, my ducky balloon and cake cutter have arrived, just waiting for the patty pans etc to come from ebay and then I'll have a practise run!
MD - Thanks for the tip re the pain relief. We are back to the doctor next week, twice before we go, so I'll ask if needed. I am planning on a practice run of the cake this weekend as well.
Leanne - Olivia is a little darling. I LOVE her party dress. I am planning on keeping my eyes open when we are o/seas for a party dress for M. Well done with the cake!
Well I cracked it big time at DP last night, at 2am. I know I shouldnt complain I guess, but I have been so sleep deprived for a few months now and this latest illness of Maddie's is really taking its toll on me. No wonder I am getting warts coming up on my hand EW!! So anyway cracked it at DP as he rarely gets up to help. He says I have to work, as soon as he says that I mostly lay off because its only fair that I do the late night duty when he has to get up for work. Last night though I gave him a piece of my mind, and he stormed out the door this morning. Too bad. I am going out tonight for work, planning on having a few to drink, so he is on night duty tonight and we'll see how he goes. Bahaha I am a b**** arent I!?
I had grand plans for fathers day, I bought everything I needed to do a hand or foot print into some clay for DP and also for the grandfathers. Well I spent half an hr kneeding the clay to make it softer and got no where, so cracked it and gave up. LOL. I AM HAVING A BAD DAY! So M is asleep atm, when she gets up I'll dig out the finger paints and some canvas and give that a go...wish me luck last time it was a messy nightmare.
Went back to the doc today and M's ears are still really inflamed. Ahhh I hope these antibiotics kick in soon. Poor hun.
sorry for the lack of personals.
Howdy all!
Oh H, I really feel for you hun. I wish there was something I could do to help you out. I really hope that M's ears are well on the way to getting better before you go.
Marydean, LOL at you not getting birthday nooki this year ;) I am so happy for H that she's got such a good group of friends now. I am crossing my fingers that the cake test goes to plan.
Leanne, I just had a squizz at your pics. She's just gorgeous - I love those cheeks!
Gosh, I can't remember what's been said now.
Kate, don't worry about her size, she's perfect the way she is. on the WHO charts that I have, the 50th centile is 8.9kg and 73cm's, so she's just gorgeously average.
I'm sure Alister's the way he is because he has 3 older siblings he is so desperate to keep up with, so that's egged him on more than if he were an only child.
He had his first lollipop today too the little bugger LOL. The girls got a showbag the other day that was full of lollipops, and he found them this afternoon and he thought it was unreal LOL. I didn't have the heart to take it off him. But the little devil saw me coming and took off as fast as his little legs would carry him - it was so funny. I think I can safely say we don't have any tummy troubles with food at night now - and I haven't been giving him the Brauer's colic relief for a few days either and his sleep is still very very good FINALLY!
I just brought a cross stitch birth sampler off ebay today for him too - I finally got round to taking the girls' in to be framed and I am in the process of finishing Lindsay's. I did them all ar$e about LOL - I started with Paige's and then Erin's and now Lindsay's. It's coming from the US, but is cheaper than if I had of brought it here in Aus.
Hi girls!
Leanne i'll try and have a look for the piccies!
MD: LOL! oohhh waiting until October?! OMG you're man wont know what hit him LOL!!:dance:
yes the pooing is quite extreme. even the kindy girls were taken aback by one of her exploding poos. it went EVERYWHERE!
MM: i second Sherie. that sounds pretty haranguing. poor M, and poor you! and i too would have cracked it at DH. at the end of the day WE decided to have a baby and with that comes a shared responsibility. DH tried the work line on me, but after having L on his own a couple of days in a row he soon gave up giving me that excuse. it is MUCH harder to be the stay-at-home parent of a child: where there is no 'home time' or knock-off drinks at the local.
Sherie: what the thing off ebay that you bought? sounds interesting!
LOL dont you love the way they try to hide stuff that they think is really cool. for us it's the curash. i find it pocketed away in all sorts of tubs and buckets...:rolleyes:
AFM: well not much to report. L had her birthday cake celebration at kindy today and couldnt believe her tastebuds. pity that my own attempt at a cake comes after she has been corrupted by decent baked goods. ho hum.
Ahhh, she's a baby Clare, she wont know the difference between them LOL.
The cross stitch is just a birth sampler, where you put their name, DOB and their birthweight etc and they have a cute little picture. I saw one that said "cutie patootie" and thought of Jaz's H straight away LOL.
MM- Poor M I hope her ears get better soon. I also hope you have a wonderful time out tonight. Re the Party Dress MIL bought it from America for $15 yep thats right $15 I neally died when I saw the tag. Its such a beauitful dress.
MD- I am so happy for H with her friends from school. Hey what are you doing for you birthday?
Sherie- LOl at the lollipop.
Thanks girls for all your kind words about the photo's. I was a bit disappointed at the cake but oh well better luck next year.
Fathers day we are having a BBQ Lunch and bought DH a shirt and a kiss framed picture and going to get him a shaver. Sort of making a big deal this year as last year I was in hospital.
Happy Fathers day to all our DADDY's
Sherie - Can just imagine Alister running off with his lolly pop, what a cutie!
Leemar - $15 what a bargain!! I hope I can get a few bargains like that o/seas. We are doing the bbq lunch too as it should be a nice sunny day.
Clare - I know, DP works long hours but still, sometimes after looking after a baby 24/7 you just need a hand every now & then at night, even if he has to get up tired for work. Ah well I'm used to being a permanant zombie these days lol. Did you bake a cake for kindy?
I ended up making hand & foot prints with acrylic paint, framed them & they actually look really good! Suprised myself hehe. Maddie was very patient as well.
Had such a nice night out, only had two glasses of champers and woke up feeling seedy. What the!? Whats happened to me lol.
How is everyone going with brushing babies teeth? I am getting no where and always forget, what a terrible mum! Also I worry about when M has her 4am bottle, would that be harming her teeth? I dont leave the bottle with her, she has it and it puts her straight off to sleep iykwim.
Hello everyone, feels like ages since I have been on! I have been down at mums this week. It has been a bit of a disaster, I have dinged my car (twice!!!) and got food poisoning yesterday - my fault for being stupid enough to eat KFC.
Apart from that it has been good visiting my family. We had a little birthday party on Friday, Will got lots of cool presents and enjoyed himself. We just got a few pizzas and a cake but it was fun. I teared up a little when we were singing happy birthday to my little baby!! Will loves it here, he has mastered steps so he can go outside and climb off the deck and potter around the back yard.
MD, Happy Birthday :dance: So glad that H is happier at school. I think I have made a mockery of your name.
Sherie, that is so cute A running away with the lollypop! He sounds like a little dare devil lol
Leanne, will have a look at the FB pics when I get back home, bet they are very cute.
MM, I give W his toothbrush in the morning when I brush mine and then he gets it in the bath too. Don't worry too much about it, they are still little. Hope M is better by the time you go on holiday.
Clare, I got a supermarket cake for W, didn't want to ruin the night with a rock cake lol
Renee, good to see you back! Sorry to hear about you crappy boss. How rude to fire you in the car park!
Noni, your other thread left me hanging!! What happened???
MD- HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
Happy Fathers Day to all our Daddy's
Art- OMG I hope you are ok and how is W
Leemar, we are both fine. The first ding must have happened in the car park when I was in the shop, didn't know until my step father noticed it later and started giving me cr@p about my bad driving lol The second one I backed into a power pole, wasn't going fast but still managed to make a mess of my poor car.
Hi all!
Sorry it's been such a long time between posts - things have been really full on (well, motherhood; you know how it is ;)) for a while and it just got too hard to keep up with checking the forum, let alone reading & posting! But I have been thinking of you all lots & hoping all is well.
MIss S is just terrific - growing well, smiling so much (such a happy little camper), clapping & pushing herself backwards and seemingly singing along to music. Hips A-OK and reflux gone!! She appears to be weaning herself at present so it's an interestig time. We're besotted. DH & I are also both in the thick of study (me only part-time, thank goodness) which means things are rather frantic and stressed a lot of the time, but hopefully this'll improve. I have been suffering badly from lack of sleep lately which has made it extremely hard to cope at times, but think we're getting through it. Probably nothing a full-time cleaner, personal massage therapist and bottle of Baileys wouldn't fix LOL; having to settle for the last at present!
Will try tio read through everyone's news - daunting task as so much must've happened, but gee whiz - we have some happy first birthdays to celebrate soon don't we!
Much love
Queenie xxxx
Hello Queenie!! What are the odds of you happening to log on the same day I send you a message LOL! So glad you did though. I'm so happy to hear that Sasha's hips are all good now and even better that the reflux is gone now too! It's such a great age for them ATM isn't it? She sounds just delightful, you've done a sterling job :) My hat goes off to you with the study though.
Arte, glad you and W are OK, even if the car is a little worse for wear.
And a HUGE Happy Birthday wish to Marydean!!!! I hope your darling girls have been extra special to you today.
md- im going to save my happy birthday wishes until you get your birthday b7nk. so you'll have to give me the all clear when the time is right ;)
arte- i cant believe you got food poisoning, as i sit here licking my chops on kfc chips
queenie- hello, great to see you back
happy fathers day to all fathers out there :)
Hello Girls!
hi Queenie! great to have you drop in and let us know how things are going! i missed the posts about S having hip issues. glad that they are in the clear now! such a relief no doubt!
MD: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU!!!!! oh la la!
and like rainy said: a happy fathers day to every papa! (including those galavanting on other shores!). especially to those having their first fathers day!!
L's birthday was a hit. all the bubs loved it and the cake!!!! can you believe i made a cake and people ate it ha ha ha! they are probably paying for it as we speak!! i'll try to post a piccy or two in the next week.
anyway best dash! BBL.
Happy Birthday Marydean!!!
Happy belated birthdays to Leila, Logan and Renee.
We had a lovely week at my parents, they were very impressed with K walking all over the place. She's still a bit unsure of her grandpa, he must look funny, so hopefully that will improve when he comes down this week. But she reached out to granny for a cuddle when I was holding her! Did lots of shopping and I think K is almost right for Christmas as well as birthday. Had a monster face plant into the couch and still has a bit of a bruise on her forehead 5 days later. Is having a bit of a shocker with very early wake ups at the moment so that isn't very good. Had to have a nanna nap this morning.
I woke up last night with really bad stomach cramps. Had the same thing about a month ago, just before AF. I'm hoping it's a coincidence, I never used to have any issues before I was pregnant. Will wait and see what happens next month.
Rainy - glad that you found a doula.
Noni - have you done another test?
Trillian - A is a little daredevil isn't he, climbing up the slide!
Arte - glad you're OK, shame your little car is worse for wear though.
Queenie - welcome back, glad that S is doing well.
MM - I'm not very good at remembering to brush her teeth, but it sits around the place and she chews on it every now and then. How are the ears going?
Renee - well that isn't a very nice way to get fired! How rude.
hi everyone. I am Reading and replying on my new I phone! so I guess you could say I have been very spoiled Catch up with you all tmrw as we are spending the weekend with friends. xxx
Hi everyone!!
Happy birthday to Renee and Marydean and also to Olivia, Hannah, Logan and Leila... I hope I havent missed anyone else!!
Well we are back from Bali and it was WONDERFUL we had such a great time was so good to spend the week timeless with N, but sad to drop him off to FDC this morning... it was a short holiday - I would always go for longer from now on... and also have aday at the end when we are at home, was a little mad to get everything ready for work and FDC today. the ppl in bali were so wonderful, they loved N and our friend's baby so much - we had to watch as they were whiskd away to play at any opportunity!! (restaurants, while we had massages, security guards at airport etc etc). a few dramas with the flights (just the bad service at jetstar even in bus class!!!) and one awful awful choking incident that freaked me out totally but otherwise just a fun and relaxed week for us all. Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MM i forget when you are off to Phuket (i hope i havent missed you) but a few tips to take with you... Aloe vera - N got heatrash and it was really itchy, this cleared it up and soothed a lot...a couple of pouches of rafferty vegies or something similar - mainly N ate whatever we were having but sometimes when out and about i took this and just ordered plain rice for N, a hit!!!
MD sounds like u got thoroughly spoilt - YAY!!!!!!!!!
Cally - sounds like fun in Canberra!
hi to everyone else - so sorry not many personals - too much to keep up on... but backnow!
pregpan- glad to see you had such a great time in bali. lucky little N
thanks Rainy- it was fab and a great family holiday!
i also meant to tell you all i had AF finally- just v short and light but exactly a week after i saw the herbalist...v exciting!!
thats so exciting!!!! so will you be ttc this month now?
i cant wait!!!
i am not sure- i guess so!!!! so exciting! though i am still to finish mini pill so maybe next month...
Hi all
How was everyones fathers day? It was Rorys first so I tried to make it special. We woke up and had family cuddles in bed. Gave him his presents which he loved. His big gift was a new riding jersey and pants. I got his nickname put on the back of the jersey as well. Very happy... I then cooked up a big brekky with eggs, bacon, snags, mushies, tomatoes and had a nice breakfast. We also went out for dinner that night. Went well I think. I ended up doing an outline of Sarahs hand inside his fathers day card which I'll do every year.
MM - I'm glad that S is not the only one who isn't doing as much stuff as the rest. I have ability envy. ;) Maybe they are just taking it all in ready to show off when least expected. The health nurse isn't too worried and she looks healthy and is happy so *shrugs* not going to stress. I read your other thread about a destination wedding, hows that going? PM me if you want any Fiji hints.
Falguni - Thanks for the reassurance, you're right about the conversation aspect. They just want to talk about our beautiful babies. I think I will be using the 'tall for her age' bit tho...ta for that.
Leemar - Love the pics, looks like a lovely day was had.
Thanks Sherie for the info from the other charts. So annoying how everywhere you go it is something different. There is no standard ideals. Which I suppose is sorta good in this world of everyone thinking they aren't normal no matter what anything says.
Art - Hope you're all good from the food poisoning. And damn about the car prangs. Glad you' re okay tho.
MD - Nice work on the IPhone, are you loving it. So many people I know have got one but I am yet to have a play with one. Hope you had a great bday and I agree with Rainy...I'll add more birthday wishes after your bday boogie.
PP - So glad you had fun in bali...got photos to share?
As for the teeth brushing, I don't do it often. Its very sporadic but I do keep her toothbrush next to mine so will give it to her when I'm having a shower. Then give them a brush for her when she lets me. Lots of fun trying to avoid her chomping down on the brush tho. She thinks its a game...catch the toothbrush. Woohoo, I could market that.
I've currently got Rory beside me with Sarah and they are playing with a spare keyboard. DH will type on it and S will grab his hand and fling it off HER keyboard. So funny. She was doing the same with her grandad this morning. He rested his hand on her car seat as we were driving along and she didn't like that so would pick his hand up and fling it. So cute...little miss attitude!
Better go and feed her before she starts eating the keyboard. :rolleyes:
Happy belated Birthday MD. Woo hoo on the Iphone.
Pregapn sounds like you had a great time in Bali. How exciting about TTC, good luck.
Kate sounds like Rory had a pretty good fathers day. We went to Maccas for breakfast lol.
Cally Logan has taken a few tumbles this week and is bruised and battered.
Noni have you tested again????
Queenie good to hear you and S are doing so well.
Arte W's birthday party sounds like fun.
We had Logans party on Saturday, it was a lovely day but I am glad its done and I can relax it feels like I have been on the go for months. I have started a new exercise program and my body is aching, I have decided I am not TTC until I have lost some weight. We want to start TTC in January so I have a few months to get back into shape.
Better run I can hear the dishes calling me, well they are really calling DH but he ignoring them lol.
morning all - where is everyone????
Katie - glad the party went well, we are having Noah's this sunday and i am yet to plan anything!! I have sent out the invites and that's it...better get planning i guess!
Kate - N is also not doing a lot of the things the other babies here are doing... esp not the 'active' stuff... he is babbling a lot and doing cute things like clapping hands when I sing 'if you're happy and you know it' and he can find my nose, daddy's nose etc but i guess they all just do diff things at diff times... when we were in bali he wouldnt commando crawl at all... now we are home he is back into it.. commando crawling only though and not v far!! this morning i noticed he went to the other side of the rug and then sat himself up - so thats a new thing..
geez i am babbling!
last night in the middle of the night he woke up and we heard him grabing things.. so scay DH went in and he had fuond a bag of nappy sacks and was playing with 2 of them in his cot... sooo scary, imagine if DH did not go in... major redesign of nursery needed!
PP - Wow, glad you checked. Nothing scarier then realising that the little blighters can reach things that you didn't think of. S is getting into everything so I am constantly doing a room scan to check for potential problems.
Has anyone seen that magazine ad where they have a picture in a park and they have labelled things according to kids? So mums are fun police, dogs are horsies etc. I love it, think its so clever and very true
S was awake at 4.30 this morning and would not go down. So I gave in and she got a feed and a play then fell asleep for another 1.5hours at 5.30am. Then had an hour at 10.30am. So a bit out of her normal routine but I was happy she went back to sleep at 5.30, I was buggered after a late night watching 90210...! Guilty secret there, but anyone else watch it?
