Yep, the cake turned out just fine LOL - although it did take a bit longer to cook. I guess when she's ready for a sleep she's ready LOL. I hope she is well again soon.

[Leemar]

Hi Girls.

Sorry for the quick one today but I am running late.

Re Livi school- Yep I said something to the teacher and she said that Livi is always sleeping at the the time they do art and craft but she said that Livi does enjoy art and craft as well. They do have photo and they will be putting it up.

Geee got to go Jordy is bashing on the door.

[Ginger]

hi girls

you'll be happy to know that once i finished my post this morning i went into the bedroom and yelled at df until he got out of bed and then made him change lewis' pooey nappy while i had a long hot shower

the day spa was nice and i have lovely painted toenails. apparantely after i left the house df and lewis had a shower together, then they crawled into the big bed together and slept for 2.5 hours! i can't believe how lazy my boys are!

cally- katie is so clever that she 'put herself to bed' like that. geees i wish lewis would do that sometimes!

sherie- yes you're right, i've already told him life is going to change a lot when #2 arrives! he's not going to know what's hit him i think.

arte- yeah the problem is that df sleeps through anything. i put 'in the night garden' on as loud as possible and put lewis and the dog in the room with him sleeping and he still just sleeps. he drives me crazy! does W ever let you 'spoon' him back to sleep or does he always have to be bf? lewis hasn't had a bf at all today. i honestly wouldn't be surprised if he completely weaned in the next couple of weeks.

katie- i think sparkies must all be lazy!

ange- let me know if you're not busy this week and want to meet up in a park or something and let the kids go wild!

well a couple of weeks ago i got a few text msgs off a girl i used to work with who has a dd about 12 months old asking if i wanted to meet up tomorrow. it was sort of a tentative arrangement, so yesterday i sent her a txt asking her if she still wanted to meet up and confirming the details. well, i haven't heard anything back from her, so i guess i just won't go. it's kind of weird though, seeing as she initiated it

[Ozstar]

Sherie you will have to post the cake recipe.

H how is M doing today?

Leanne good to hear that childcare are going to put up some of Livi's work.

Cally how clever is Miss K putting herself to bed.

Rainy must be a sparky thing lol. Glad yo had a nice day. Little strange about your friend.

I feel like I have been flat out this weekend (I havent). Dh was away so it was just me and Logan. I had two shoots yesterday and dont sleep well on my own so probably explains why I am tried. Logans toes are all scuffed from running on the concrete. As soon as we let him outside he just runs and runs, for this reason we tend to have outside play of an arvo and he goes down so well at night lol. I cant wait to put him in little athletics, he just loves to run. He also loves to spin now. I was talking to my mum tonight and telling her about all the things he does and he really is such a character, he keeps us laughing and I feel really lucky to have such a charismatic little boy. I cant wait for all my family to see him at Christmas.

[Ginger]

morning all

i am so so tired atm. i think this pg is really catching up with me now. i was supposed to catch up with that friend at 9am so i'm actually really glad i never heard back from her as i really couldn't be bothered.

lewis is chasing the dog around the house by pushing the wheelybug into her. it's pretty funny actually...and the house looks like a bomb has hit it. there are megablocks from one side of the house to the other...i desperately need to pick them all up and dyson the floors...aahhhh, housework..

katie- logan sounds like such a little character. don't you just love how much personality they have now?

[Junglemum]

Raino- i am sturuggling a little with the tiredness too and i'm managing a good nights sleep, so i can imagine you must ve feeling pretty drained. Want to loan a firecracker to stick up DF's butt? Sure i could rustle something up. If DH did that on the weekend i would hit the roof, you are a much calmer woman than i! If a man ever comes out with "but i've been working all week" My blood starts to boil. What the hell do they think we do all day??? DH tried it once and i saw red. I said he is welcome to stay home and i'll go to work, seeings how i can earn more than him anyway! Then that weekend i left her with him all weekend, went grocery shopping from 9am till 5pm! He's never said he needs a rest again. lmao.

Trill- What is a devils food cake anyway? I have heard of Angel food cake, but not devils!

Baking cookies, peanut butter choc chip, got a couple of girlfriends coming over for coffee this morn.

How do you do the shoots with little man Katie?

Any more attacks MD? How you feeling?

[*noni*e*]

hey everyone,
gosh i hear you girls about tiredness!! im only 5 weeks and i am soooooo bloody tired i feel like i needa sleep all the time lol...
went to the dr the other day for the preg and because ashas lip kinda joins in the wrong spot at the top.. its kinda hard to explain but instead of it joining abover her teeth it jojns behind her teeth so that little bit of skin goes through her top teeth and i am concerned baout it being painful when the top two try and push together.. anyway he said he wasnt really sure and needed to get in contact with a dentist at the childrens hospital and see if they thought we needed to do anything about it so waiting to hear back on that sometime this week... as for the preg he said i should go and have a dating scan in around 2 weeks and ill have the blood test around then too (it was the end of the day and the person who comes and takes the bloods away for testing had already been and the next day was sunday).. not feeling too sick yet theres about an hour in the late avo when i feel a bit dodgy but mostly im just really tired.. comes on a bit more at around 6 weeks though if i remember correctly and then got worse at 8 weeks that was with asha anyway...
ummmm not doing too badly with avon ive made about 380 worth of sales so far which i think is really good for my first try, i am still waiting on three more people as well and am thinking of asking some of the neighbours if i get the nerve lol since this will be my only order that i get profit from before christmas i am really trying hard to make it a good one.. will be ordering lots of samples too to try and boost sales and am thinking of taking on a teritory where u put some catologues in mail boxes and see if anyones interested... anyways im just babbling on and on lol...
falguni - enjoy coffee with friends
rain - dp is the same.. would sleep all day long if i let him.. we take turns on the weekend to sleep in and i sleep in usually till 9ish and he sleeps in till 12 grrr he still fights me when i go in to wake him around 12 too!!! soooo annoying!!!
katie - what do you do with L when ur doing the shoots? he sounds like asha, she loves running round outside i have to drag her back in lol..
leanne - glad theyre gonna put some pics up
trill - love the chrissi av
anyways ladies asha has gone into the bathroom and u can bet shes destroying stuff bbl mwah mwah

[AnyDream]

Then that weekend i left her with him all weekend, went grocery shopping from 9am till 5pm! He's never said he needs a rest again. lmao.

!!!

ETA- Noni sounds like the Avon is going to be a winner for you! Stick with it, the territory sounds like a good idea. My DH was an Avon boy in his teenagerhood, he'd knock on doors near where his Nanna lived (she was the Avon rep) and the old ladies loved him and always ordered. PMSL. So not cool for school but he could run faster than everyone else so they never managed to beat him up LOL. BTW that thing with A's lip sounds like a bit of a worry, you're talking about that little skin connecty thing right in the middle aren't you? Let us know what the dr says when he's talked to the dentist.

Katie, I'm bursting to take E to see family too. It was Easter when we last saw them, can't believe how much she's changed in that time. H and E now play chasey and E always runs and hides in the corner of her bedroom. It's a crackup, she hides in the same place every time and peeps though the rails of the cot.

[andie82]

Hayley: RE: Blackouts; depends on wat time it is. I h8 it around dinner time. We had one in the afternoon last week & it was okay. Just played with the boys fav toys & then got out scrapbooks & crayons (though Jack didn't get tthe concept that the crayons go back in the box & not down mummies top). If they are at night, after the boys are down, thats no worries, & I have a good torch. The hardest thing is when Alex is in the middle of a tv show & the tv goes off.
Hope M is okay.

Rainy: I understand how you are feeling. My ex was pretty much the same. Am happy for you that you put your foot down. Unfort he went back to sleep, the upside I can see, L was sleeping to.
Glad enjoyed the dayspa though.

Trill: I keep in contact with both of them, usually through f/b though. The one with the newborn, we've only just started talking again (in the last 6mths) & the seperation has brought us closer.
Hope you have fun on you shopping trip & your cake sounds yummy.

Cally: K is so cute.

Leemar: Am happy that you were able to say something.

Katie: Logan sounds adorable.


us: Can't believe I had away again in a week's time. Didn't realise it was so close. Heading to Ballina to stay with my mum for the night, then to QLD where I spend two nites with one friend, two nites with another, two nites with K8 & Benny (Jacks guardians) & then a night with another friend on the way home.

Baby was a boy & name is Tyson Joseph Gavin ..

Watching a rerun of Third Watch (Austar) & then going to do some house.

Hi all!

Sounds like everyone is doing well.

Cally Yay for K L puts himself to sleep too now. It was only of a night time until this morning he was laying on the lounge with DP and off to sleep he went!

Rain the dayspa sounds like a good idea! Glad you had a good time.

Andie hope you and the boys have a good time away. It will be nice for you to have your mum and friends around

Trill that cake sounds yum might have tobake one! Where'd you get the recipe?

Thanks for all the dinner suggestions! Last night we had a Tikka Misala curry so I gave L some rice with the juice of the curry and he absolutely loved it! DP was sure he wouldnt eat the rice but what do they know!

I fell asleep watching tv last night and DP put L to sleep and tucked him in his bed. I felt bad but its the first time since L was born that its happened.. I better go hang this washing out while L is napping.

[*noni*e*]

md yep the lil connecty thing in the middle im thinking they might have to snip it but im really not sure

[Cally]

Nella - nothing wrong with a little couch sleeping every now. DH always puts K to bed these days. Glad L liked the curry.

Noni - that lip things sounds interesting, let us know how it goes.

Ange - lol at your grocery shopping all day!! I have heaps more energy now I am back at work and if we have a bad night I seem to cope fine if I am working as opposed to when I am home. I think because I am distracted at work by having to do things, I can't think about how little sleep I had whereas at home it's very easy to. Definitely having to work is not an excuse to get out of looking after bubs.

K had a shocking night last night. DH had to get up about 5 times, including once for 1.5 hours! She just kept coughing and crying. Got her into the doctor's this afternoon, but not sure what they can do. Her body felt warm this morning, but she didn't have a temp. My turn tonight to look after her.

[Cassius2]

hi girls! sorry that i have been MIA lately. let's just say that despite some lovely moments, it has the been the week from hell and DH, Leila and I are feeling it. want to pack my bags and go to fiji and sit on a beach sipping banana daquiris. who doesnt?????

Leila had her jabs last monday, got sick that night, no biggie thought it was just temps from the jabs. second day thought it was the same....so basically for the last 7 nights in a row i have had less than 2 hours sleep (broken) a night. she half-wakes up screaming inconsolably, and has the runs BIG TIME. i am over it (as is she!). took her to the doctor. not much they can do, is a nasal passage infection almost finished, antibiotics wont do much. pretty bummed. oh, and she has to be on a liquid diet for the next 48 hours!! so from almost weaning i am now having to do the long hard yards of BF all day and night for a 15 month old. she is refusing all water, so it is cows milk in bottles or BF.

sorry for the me vent, just am crumbling ever so slightly. oh for an hour of sleep!

[Leemar]

Hi Girls,

To all our Sick Bubba's I hope you all get well soon.

As for me I am much better. Can not believe christmas is almost upon us and am trying to get stuff ready.

Andie- Enjoy you holiday

[No.5]

Claire hope Leila is feeling better soon so you can all get some rest!

Leeanne glad you're better. Christmas is only 24 days away. Yikes! I don't even know what we're doing this year. DP is working again this year so might go to mums again.

[Cally]

Clare - oh dear, hope you get a better nights sleep tonight. Poor little L. Banana daiquiris sound good though!!

Well after a 45 min wait at the doctor's (thank god they supplied toys) we got in. One of her ears was a bit red, but her lungs were clear even though she has a bad cough. So we have some antibiotics in case her ear gets more sore in the next few days.

And she bit a little boy this morning! Not enough to break the skin, but still not impressed. She's been doing it a lot to me, just biting my clothes when she gets frustrated with something and we do the whole 'no Katie, biting hurts' and put her down by herself, but the message doesn't seem to be getting through. Will just keep perservering I suppose.

[Junglemum]

Cally, we are dealing with biting, pinching and hair pulling here too. When she is frustrated she lashes out. I too am doing as you do, but it doesn't seem to sink in. I do notice the biting only occurs when she is teething though. But the pinching is an on going thing.
I am hoping over time it sinks in. I guess repetition and persistance is the key.
I hate having a bully as a daughter.

Clare- hope tonight is better for you all. You sound exhausted.

I'm off to find chocolate.

[Ginger]

hi girls

clare- you poor little things (both you and leila). sounds horrible. hope you get some sleep tonight.

oohhh find me some chocolate ange
