[~Kate~]

MD- Yep, I've been told that the tattoos above the butt crack is called the tramp stamp. lol oh well...tramp stamp it is. Post a pic next time you pull the camera out. I've just found a cable that fits my camera so will put some pics up on FB of tat and of course Sarahs party. I didn't take many with my camera but a good friend of mine did so am waiting on those.

Noni - I love Ashas cake...so cute and the party looked like heaps of fun. Have to ask where did that pink pool thing come from. I want to get something like that for S but have only seen those clam shell looking things. Ashas looks a lot cooler.

AFM - Well found another tooth of Sarahs. It's her top left 'fang' tooth. I'm pretty sure thats a technical term and the top right seems to be wanting to make an appearance as well.
Had a major scare moment this afternoon. S was playing happily in the lounge and after a bit I realised that I couldn't hear her so turned around and she was gone. I had a major panic attack because I couldn't remember if the back door or the gate across the doorway was closed. Well, guess what...nope it wasn't. I found Sarah on the fourth top step looking back at me happily. If my heart wasn't beating so hard I might have found it amusing. All I could think of was what a **** mother I am I am so grateful that I taught her how to get off beds backwards.

Okay off to post some pics...BBL

[Leemar]

OMG Kate what a scare..you poor love . Yep I am Inked too nothing to dramatic just a unicorn on my hip that I got when I was 18 but have been thinking about getting the kids name put on me somewhere....

[Ginger]

ok, sherie your story made me feel better, glad i'm not the only one with a dh for a dpiykwim by that????

kate- yes i have lost lewis a couple of times and freaked out. last time i found him with his hand in the toilet.

leanne- glad dh is back. your sleep sounds nice.

pp- good to hear ella is pg again, i wonder what she'll have

lewis is doing a lot better today. he's been eating and drinking and actually smiling he's still very sooky and clingy but he's doing much better thankfully- he's gotta go to a 1st birthday party on sat so i'm just hoping he feels good for that.

[Trillian]

Kate, I love 'tramp stamp' LOL. I can just imagine how you were feeling when you saw her up there too. Don't fret about it too much, she didn't fall and hurt herself and these things happen, so you're not a bad mummy

Leanne, so how are you liking the new washing machine? I'm still loving mine LOL. And excellent news about his ears too!

Marydean, I'm sorry but I had to stiffle a small smile at the thought of H thinking it was too much effort to hold E for photos. Don't you know that once they get to a certain age EVERYTHING is too much effort? LOL. Great to hear that the petting zoo was a real hit.

Noni, I'll have to have a looky at your pics.

Ok, so now it's my turn to host the gastro bug. Poor Erin woke up at 10 last night and came out to me in the loungeroom with vomit all through her hair because she'd been sick in bed (and wasn't that a joy to clean up). There was no warning of it coming on at all - she was fine all day and ate all her dinner last night. So then she spent the next few hours to 1am throwing up or running to the loo poor kid. She seems fine today and is keeping everything down and in but her tummy is very tender and delicate though. I am just really hoping that the other 3 don't get it. Great way to spend the holidays otherwise

Paige had a speechie appointment today and I asked her speechie about what is expected for 1yo's etc (remember we were talking about that a while back) and she said that they are only expected to know around the 5 word mark and it isn't until around the 18mth mark when they should have about 50 words that they will repeat most words as part of their vocabulary kwim? So if they say something and you can't get them to say it again, that's normal and when they get to 18mths and if they still aren't saying much, you should start to pay attention to how their speech and language/communication skills are developing. I asked her mainly because once you have a child with speech issues, it makes you more on the ball for the future kwim? I didn't even think about it with the first two because they were both such excellent talkers at a young age.

ETA - LOL G, I do kwym. The biggest problem with my DH is that he can't ever say no when someone says 'stay and have a beer'. Plus when you live as far out of town as we do, there isn't anything I can do about it if he decides to stay in after work for a few beers. Glad to hear that L is a lot better today though.

[Ginger]

oohhh sherie sorry to hear gastro has struck! it's horrid

lewis doesn't say any words yet at all, except dadadad and mamamama or something like that. should i be worried at all yet?

[Trillian]

I wouldn't be worried about him at this stage, unless you think he has other issues like not understanding what you say to him or being able to express himself in other ways, like babbling etc. She just said that the average was about 5 words, so some will have more and others less I would assume, just like with anything they do.

Evening!

Just catching up watching my boys trash my lounge room with the blocks and their bare bums flash past my eyes with every circle they crawl, waiting to see who's the first to Pee on my floor.

Tats: I have a (haha) 'tramp stamp' .. its a black design, just got pics of it last nite (and it was done dec 04) ... i'm booked in to get another one in oct whilst i'm in qld of a pentagram thats going to be placed just above my current one. Will post pics of new & old on f/b over the next few weeks.

I'm sitting here thinking I go to QLD next thrusday (9th) & I haven't even started to get organised. I have to do start early cos i miss so much or all the clothes i want is in the wash.

MM: this may be getting old, I agree with Prev. posts, its your wedding day, you guys do what you want & what is going to make you happy. You don't want to look back & wish you'd have done it instead of.

Hope everyone else is well & bubs are too.

I'm going to see if I can catch one bare bum ... bbl

[~Kate~]

Go the tramp stamps!!

Well S and I are off on her first airplane flight. I know we are a bit behind the other high flying bubs and the flight only lasts 50mins but hey still go up and then down again. In a tin can no less. Going back up to Bundy from Brissie so huge trip...
Wish me luck on the trip...I think she'll be fine but once I give her boobie on the ascent, she'll have to pop back on soon after for the descent. I'll try a dummy but she doesn't really like hers except for cutting teeth. Oh well, will give it a whirl.

Oh and also taking my sister out to brunch at the pancake manor for her birthday before we catch the flight so am looking forward to that...Woot for pancakes!

I'm going to try to take another pic of my tats. The last pic didn't show it relly well.

I'll pop back on tonight once I get home and let you know how I've gone.

Have a good day everyone

[MamaPan]

[Ginger]

lewis has pulled off my space bar key again so it's taking me sooooo friggin long to write this.
dp and i are fighting like cat and dog again. i'm having the worst mood swings this time- do you think that means i'm having a girl??? look out oobi

[andie82]

Afternoon!

We had a scheduled power outage this morning so I thought I would go to town & get some items on layby for santa. Oops, boys were a bit grizzly. Jack is working on his 2nd molar's points & Alex's ear infection is bothering him. They were alseep when we got home so i tried to put them to bed but Alex woke up & refused to go back & in all the comotion he ended up waking Jack up Very unfort as I really wanted a lay down today (I don't like sleeping during the cause I wake up cranky .. so if I really wanted to, I must be exhausted hey!).
Alex is happy the power is back on as he's sitting quitely watching numberjacks whilst I try & get Jack down for a kip or he'll be real cranky by dinner time.

i just found this emoticon ... ... hehe, looks like I feel & want to do!

kate: how was your flight? I was a bit concerned bout the boys when we went Sydney to Adelaide but they done really well. I'm sure S was great?

[~Kate~]

PP and Rainy - ing for a better night sleep for you guys tonight.

Andie - Aww, I hope the boys are behaved for you tonight so that you can have a good nights sleep.

AFM - Well flight went well. She was a bit grizzly while they were fiddling around before take off. I asked the airhosty if I could bf while take off and landing and she said no, for safety reasons. They have to have their back to your chest and strapped in. Luckily she was fine going up. I gave S a bit of a feed in the air as she was sooking so I had her strapped into me and twisted around to have a feed. She was so happy there and actually had a kip. I kept her like that through descent and the hosty didn't tell me off. So S slept through turbulence (in a Dash 8, which is like 50 seats or something, so a bit scary), through landing, through getting up and getting our hand luggage and didn't wake up until the sun hit her eyes as we walked across the tarmac. So all in all not too bad. Definately quicker than driving or train.

And pancakes were yummo! **Drools** I snuck a candle to the waitress and had her put it on my sisters pancakes...nice and embarrassing for her.

Hope everyone is going okay

[AnyDream]

I asked the airhosty if I could bf while take off and landing and she said no, for safety reasons.

WHAT? It's SOP to bfeed your baby while the plane is going up up up and down down down (*to the tune of old king cole*)????!!!!! Isn't it?

Andy Oh I sooo hope you get a good sleep tonight. I heard on the radio today they did some study linking sleep deprivation and overweightness and I thought, well that explains everything. LOL

Leanne, glad you're doing a happy dance, sounds like you've had a very long weeks.

We had a near-miss from the Pink Eye Fairy yesterday. E woke up late arvo with a pink eye, got her straight down to the drs (mind you not without throwing out the entire evening routine) - anyway got the drops in last night and it was clear again this morning, lucky for me otherwise she wouldn've have been going to FDC for MD's Day Off. And what a day it was, I even had the Borders Bookshop experience (complete with them NOT having the books I wanted but managing to buy stuff anyway LOL).

Oh dear, better go the Yuckky Bum Fairy's just arrived. (PuhYew!)

[Trillian]

OH no MD! Glad to hear the Pink eye fairy was given a swift kick up the bum and told to bugger off!

Well I have 2 sick boys here today. Not pretty I can tell you. At least with the bigger kids they can get it in the bucket or the toilet, but poor old Alister just has to do it wherever he's standing *oh the joy* I'm hoping that it goes as quick as it did for Erin so they should be right by tomorrow.

[andie82]

Thanks Ladies. Mite have a glass of champers to help as I wake to the slightest sound the boys make.

... they did some study linking sleep deprivation and overweightness and I thought, well that explains everything. LOL

Wld certainly explain a few things! ahah

[Isadora]

Hi lovely ladies, I've been slack again sorry.

Thanks again all for the engagement congrats and for your kind words on how to go about planning this wedding without the inlaws involvement haha!

Rainy - Oh no thats not very good of your DP, you have every right to be angry. Thats terrible that Lewis has been so sick, but I'm glad he's seems to be on the mend. What a horrible bug that was. Are you feeling better too? Hey are you going to find out the sex of this bub? Maddie isnt saying words, only mum & dad as well. Sorry but I laugh everytime I read that Lewis has gone for the space bar again, little cutie.

Falguni - LOL at you 'dissapointing' your inlaws. I give up with mine! I've come to the conclusion that there's always gonna be one family member I am going to 'dissapoint' with this wedding. Your wedding sounded beautiful btw.

Cally - Sorry to hear about your trip to the hospital the other day. Hope K is better now?

Kate - Congrats on Sarah's 1st steps, very exciting. What did I miss, where did you go on holiday? I know its silly how they say feed on the ascent & descent, but how can you when you have to keep them strapped into their seatbelt.

Noni - The pics of Asha on facebook are gorgeous. She got some great pressies.

MD - Ahh conjunctivitis is horrible, so glad you got onto it quick smart.

Trillian - Bummer hope the gastro bug doesnt spread through your entire family then.

Pregpan - Maybe N is getting a tooth? Hope you have a decent sleep tonight. Thanks for your kinds words re my wedding & engagement!

Andie - How long are you off to QLD for? My neighbours have just gone to Cairns for 11 days, so jealous.

Leemar - YAY for O walking!

Well I have a bit of news too, I was on the phone today and watched M stand without furniture, then take 3 steps. I almost screamed down the phone hahaha. Very exciting stuff this walking!

[Junglemum]

PP and Rainy, MUST have been the moon. I was up hourly last night too. Bit of a rude shock to the system i tell ya! I was down the coast visiting a friend so DH had a good sleep, so you guessed it, he's on duty tonight.

MD- i had a little chuckle. Pink eye in cows is a terrible cancerous growth in the eye. I quickly firgured out that it is not the same in humans by your laid back chatter about it!

Trill- You poor bugger. Doesn't sound fun at your place.

Kate- we have flown 4 times (8 flights) with Lu and i have BF her take off and landing each time. Each time the hosty has offered me a pillow to make her more comfortable! I still have the belt on but just have her twisted like you say. Sound like you have a silly hosty.


Riddle me this............. why do they always poo in the bath when you are in the bath with them??? Tonight Lu poo'd in the bath, not pretty. i was a little wiser than last time though and decided to scoop, rather than attemp to poke it down the plug hole! Worked much better. There is a valuable lesson for all in that!

Lu never crawls now, walks and attempts to run. She seems so grown up. Where has the time gone?!
I need to hit the hay, exhausted... sorry ran out of wind half way!
