Babies Born September 2007 #39

Trust me H, Chadstone is worth the drive to go shopping there. When I was visiting my sister in April last year I spent 6hrs there shopping LMAO. They have an Esprit Kids shop too - far too easy to spend a ****e load of money.

Ange, that's great news about the scan. Did you not want to find out or was bubs not co-operating?

Clare, are you SERIOUS about the Collette Dinigan? Who pays that much money for baby clothes! *wanders off scratching her head pondering this* LOL.

I tell ya, if someone came and offered to take Alister away I would gladly accept their offer today! The little monster keeps getting up onto the dining table and there is no where safe that the kids can eat cause he climbs up and gets their food. Even when you take the other chairs away he climbs up on their chair. He's already fallen off the table 3 times today alone. The house looks like a bomb went off cause he's uncleaning as fast as I am cleaning it up. I feel so stressed LOL.

Hugs Trill, the dining table must be scary! Oh well at least he'll have a good head for heights when he's older, there's a whole world of activities awaiting those who love to climb (ie NOT me). Also, sorry but I gotta LOL at "uncleaning" . That is such a good word to describe what I call the relentless tide. :lol:

MM - poor Maddie, hope she's feeling better. Gotta get E's done soon, I've already had The Letter to remind me! Re the milk, IMO the toddler stuff is totally not necessary, it exists solely so the formula companies can advertise their product without actually advertising "real" formula. I'd give it a miss and concentrate on introducing a big variety of interesting food plus regular dairy. And I meant to say, re your Krudd money, just slap it into your mortgage, then redraw it later if he says he wants it back, then you've saved interest in the meantime. Money for nothing!

Ange, yay on the scan, I was thinking of you yesterday wondering how you got on. Bummer on not finding out, I hate the suspense! My SIL had her scan yesterday too, she's having a lil girl, they've already picked and announced the name.

Noni, yay for storytime at the library! Hope you both enjoy it.

Arte - yerk re the ciggie butt. That's so foul. I found E playing with the cat litter tray the other day (ewww) while I was in the dunny. I really don't want to think about whether any went in her mouth before I found her!

Ok, well my big news of the day is I signed up at the Granny Gym! Did my first session today, all good. No mirrors, no treadmills, no skinny things in lycra, just real women of every shape and size and age getting their exercise in. Very comfortable environment.

hi girls

sherie- lewis is the king of uncleaning! sometimes i just think 'stuff it' and give up :rolleyes:

md- what is your sil gonna call the little girl?

Danielle Paige. But I like Paige best, Danielle's such a 1970s name! ( I feel a bit nervous in case she's lurking on BB somewhere)....


BTW I didn't tell you my J name. Jovah. As in Jovah Daniel which is what Missy E would've been if she came out blueberry flavoured. Or Micah or Tobias. But prolly Jovah.

don't mind Jovah- what are its origins? what does it mean?

yeah danielle is v 70s

granny gym sounds good

MD, Danielle is my middle name! I never liked it, especially after I found out mum named me after a girl she had a crush on at high school!!!!! I went to school with a girl called Daniella - the other kids called her fanny-smella so I kept really quiet about it lol. Congrats on joining the granny gym. I would like to go to one of those but the only ones on offer here are A: tourist gym filled with swedish babes or B: Army gym filled with buff, tanned army dudes. I wouldn't feel right about showing my moonscape thighs in front of either.

Trill, wanna have a little mummy strike getaway with me?? I have started dreaming of a whole day to myself - just a comfy chair, a sunny day, banana milkshakes, a good book and packet of cigarettes. Seriously, I never get any time to myself and I am starting to go mental. The only thing I have done for me in the past year was one short horse trek. Everything else has been based around W or family time. I haven't even had a haircut! I was so looking forward to our holiday and then it turned into a dud which left me even mored drained.

Rainy and Clare, lmao at the complaining about the lack of programming on Foxtel. I don't have an ariel so I don't even have normal t.v stations. We get by watching an episode or two of a tv show dvd at night (currently Babylon 5). I think that is one of my main motivations for getting out of the house so much lol

Sooooo not the right reason for picking a name! Oh soo been there in the army gym with all the buff dudes, the wave of testosterone nearly knocked me backwards as I walked in the door!

Re Jovah, it was a name that 'came to me'. I did resresearched it and found a reference to someone with that name in an old American civil war enlistment list, around the Tennessee area. If you google it there are a few around the place, but it's a very rare name, no info at all on meaning. I guess you could make up your own ;). Kinda sad I didn't get to use it, after all. :(

Yep, teething is a nightmare. I suppose compared to horror stories I've heard it's not too bad. But its exasperated by being in such close confines and not having my sister and mum to help out. DH is good but works a fair bit. One molar is completly through, another has one point through and the other two have very white gums.

Thanks MM for reminding me about needles. I need to get Sarahs done soon. Was wanting to wait until she was over her ear infection and I think thats cleared up. Figure I might as well make her crankier and get them done now. lol

Rainy - congrats on the blue news. Spill on the name, oh Queen of Cheekydom.

Ange - Was bubs hiding on purpose or are you just wanting a surprise in a few months?

MD - Nice work on the gym! Good to feel like you aren't being judged.

Sherie - I have to laugh at A uncleaning your house. I am so thankful that S isn't at that stage. Although, every morning I have to pick the cat food/water bowls off the ground, lift the rubbish bin off the ground and shut doors and gates. Then its a matter of what else has the little monkey found and gotten into.

Art - OMG how do you survive without tv? I at least need it going for back ground noise.

Sorry if I've missed anyone else. Hope you all have a great nights sleep

arte - I choked on my spit with 'fanny smeller'. Hilarious. (not if your name is Daniella though i guess :)

md - geez you're really getting into the de-schlumpandinking aren't you!! good for you. I wish I was as motivated as you.:rolleyes:

trill - your day sounds a lot like mine. We now have to make sure that every chair is pushed into the table, the bin is on the bench, the stools are on the bench, the dirty clothes basket has to be pushed up against the shower door ( she gets in and gets all wet). She pulls all the magnets off the fridge, the books off the bookshelf, the alfoil off the roll. I think i could write another paragraph :o Aren't they just the cutest little things though.

Ange - great that the scan went well. I didn't find out the sex of Jessica and Zoe either. I was happy to get the suprise. With Hannah, I had to find out, because if she was going to be a boy i had alot to organise!

I did think to myself today, now WHY didn't I do this three months ago??? :lol:

My missy E is into everything too, loves sneaking into the shower while it's still wet :rolleyes:. Books, dvds, toys, etc are all fair game. She has learnt to case the edges of tables and shelves to see what she can reach. Last night, I wanted to put my jammies on and watch the telly. WELL one slipper was in the front room, the other in the hallway, the remote from the family room was in the front room and the remote from the lounge was near the bathroom (I had already intercepted it once earlier in the day on its way to the TOILET)! It took ten mins just finding all the bits I needed to sit down on the couch!

hey everyone..
think i am coming down with something.. last night we were standing at the butchers window and i sware i was gonna puke it was so awful erghh and then when we got home i didnt even open the chocolate biscuits we bought!! something seriously wrong there!! this morning i was trying to eat some yoghurt but couldnt stomach it and choked down some toast instead.. asha has a bit of a chesty cough so i am wondering if its a stomach flue man i hate being sick because i dont get a break where as when dp is sick well u all know the story i am sure!!
uncleaning lol we have alot of that here, clothes come out of the basket and onto the ground when i am hanging them on the line, clothes, bookes, dvds, toys all come back out when they have been put away and it drives me batty!!
gymberoo yesterday was really good, asha had a really good time and the program is very educational they even send u home with ur own word association book and u stick in the word and a picture from whatever was in the treasure bag that way.. was very impressed with the different range of cognitive and gross motor skills they are teaching and was happy to learn it was run by early childhood teachers (which is more than i can say for the local pree schools baby room)..
mmm its finally sunny here today after a long stretch of rain so therell be lots of washing today mm i am rambling lol oops..
md - congrats on the de-schlumpandinking i needa take a leaf out of your book lol sometimes i stay in my pjs all day and then when i have a shower at night i just change into fresh pjs lol shamefull!!
arte - please please take me on your get away where theres peace and quiet and banana milkshakes in the sun!!!! and i agree how do u survive without tv.. im a bit ashamed to say it actually but theres no way i could survive without tv!!
hi to everyone else gotta go ashas finished her breaky and there is yoghurt everywhere!!
one last thing anyones bubs grind their teeth? asha does it and it drives me nuts i cant find anything to stop her!!

Hi ladies,

Just popping in quickly to catch up and say hi.

Been busy. H went well with his needles, cried a bit but has had no ill effect from them thankfully, He always ran a fever with the others.

Worked the last few days and was flat out learning my new job. I think I'll like it. The best thing is I can stay put for a good few years in that position. So after this bub is born I can go back to 2 set days a week and not have to do shiftwork or nightshift - so big yippi !!

We got some ****ty news about the house we are renting the other day. The owners are putting to auction to 4 weeks :o So major inconvenience of regular open houses and inspections before then, first one is tomorrow so we got 3 days notice - nice !!! It also means that we'll be moving from here when this bub is 4 weeks old - great !!!. Our new house will not be finished unitl June so we'll need to find somewhere to live for 6-8 weeks then move again - Not happy Jan , but what can you do ? Scream ??

Have read thru all post but can't reply ATM. Hope you all have a great day and awesome weekend. We r heading up north to stay with Joels' family, will be back tuesday. It's always so relaxing up there. I can't wait.

Noni - have you started with ttc yet? The whole butcher incident makes me wonder.......;)

JG - that's so wonderful that you can say relaxing and in-laws in the same sentence.:o
I hope you have a wonderful time, and you can take your mind off the problems with your housing situation. Glad the needles went ok.

eta - i think i may have just done something silly - i put forward my name to help out on the School Fair Committee for next year!!!

Hi Girls,

JG- Hope you have a wonderful time with the inlaws and sorry to hear about the housing situation. :hug:
noni- Hope you are feeling better soon.
MD- How many more sleeps till DH is home?
Art- Can I come to.... PLLLEEEEAAAASSSEEE
re uncleaning: yep there is a lot of that happening at my house.

ATM- not much going on today.. DH is due back about midnight tonight so we might go for a picinc on the weekend. I am at work and just want to go home as I have a mass of cleaning to do.

Hello to everyone and have a great day
