Me First!!

[deancey]

I'M BACK.........
Well Hawaii was awesome. The boys were fantastic on both flights there and back. Jordan slept in his car seat and Liam in the basinette on the way over. We upgraded to star class (1st class) on the way home, it was bliss. We got all the food and drink we wanted, the cars were SO comfy and we had Liam in the car seat reclined and Jordan in the seat next to me so we all got a seat. The flight crew were awesome, they loved the boys and spoilt them with attention.
We had a great holiday. Spent time at beach, did heaps of shopping for clothes and toys ( lots of disney stuff not avail in Aus) ate heaps of naughty foods and Jamie and I even went out for a dinner alone whilst Jamies mate looked after the boys.
We got back late last night so today we have spent day at home chillin out. Have to clean the house tomorrow and then its back to work OH well. Holidays have to end sometime.

Liam is now rolling like a crazy person and getting around all over the place. He is still at times waking up once a night however now we are home I am going to try and cut it out again. I couldnt really let him cry too much in the hotel, not fair to the other people trying to sleep.
Sorry no personals I havent had chance to catch up on other thread. I hope you are all well and will try and catch up with everything thats been going on whilst I have been away.

Deancey welcome back, glad to hear holiday went well and the boys behaved. Back to reality now i suppose, wont be long and you will feel like another holiday.

Sass oh bad luck on the job front but i am sure something else will come along soon for you.

Mis Tree lol about your sis. How did stank sleep for you?

NaNa pmsl

Hi to everyone else being lazy and can't be bothered looking at other thread sorry.
Well i am so tired atm, we had dp work function last night and a friend of mine came to our place and looked after kids. I had a few too many drinks well not that many but more than i have had in a long time. I got home early enough just after 12 but Hamish decided to wake around 3am with the worst stinky poo (tmi) ever omg it was gross and i suppose having the affects of a bit of alcohol probably didnt help the situation. But i just got him back to sleep and Dp staggers in Grrrrr men they dont know how to be quiet. I can't really complain he never usually goes anywhere or drinks and it was a big occasion for his work. Hamish then slept until 8am so that was good but i still feel wrecked might have to get a nana nap in today. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Hi All... WOW thread #4... Gosh time flies Almost time for 6 months needles...

Sass- too bad bout the jobs but i guess it just wasnt meant to be... maybe something bigger and better will pop up... With the clothes... alot of the dresses are 000 pants she needs the extra length but round the tummy are too big. I brought her these CUTE as denim shorts and they are 00 but are WAY to big luckily they have the adjustable elastic so i can make them smaller. I brought her a beautiful Yellow sun dress and its a 00 but could have been a 000 but decided to go bigger. (will post pics later i think)

Mis- hope Stank went down in the cot ok.

Deancey- YAY on the boys being behaved... (so jealous that you went to Hawaii) sounds like everything went well..

Abb- Glad the night out went well.... i know what you mean about men not being quiet...

Well i have good news... DD finally took a bottle of EBM... YAY... (just when i ask for more time off) Hoping its continues.... but bad news is we had 4 wake ups again...

[NaNa]

Welcome back deancey! So great that your holiday went so well! And you came back - wow.
Mis - good for you, stick to your guns. Stanky needs to sleep, and you'll all suffer if he doesn't! Hope your night was ok.
Sass- that's a shame about the jobs, but I hope you got some feedback from them about why you weren't successful. Something better will come up.
Abb - hope you get your nap today! what a horrible thing to have to face when you're a bit feeling a bit urk...
Jess - great that DD took the bottle! Too bad she wouldn't when you were sick/tired/really needed her to! sorry you had a bad night. We did too. Sounds like you've been shopping almost as much as me! CottonOn Kids factory outlet + NaNa = trouble!! I'm norty and DS is spoilt!

The teething monster has returned... Aadi was a real little stinker last night. Wouldn't sleep more than a couple of hours at a time. Screamed and screamed and would only calm down with a feed, and did those toxic stinky poos as well. He's been cranky and poopy all morning, and I had to hand him over to DP at 6am so I could get a few more minutes sleep. Of course, in that time he super-pooped, so DP changed him and meanwhile DS peed everywhere! I dont know how many times I have to tell DP to just wait a moment because there's always a bit more... anyway, the house reeks of tea tree oil now, coz DP went nuts with the sanitizing. Whinged all morning that he got pee on his shoes! just wait till we have a poo-painting incident! Aaaargh!
And on that delightful mental image, I'll leave you to enjoy your day! haha!

[Je$$_84]

Everyone always post when i don't have access. My net isn't working so i'm using my phone. You all know how addicted i am. Hopefully all will be fixed by tomorrow. Wont do personals just yet as this is harder then i thought. Just thought i'd update and say injections went well for both kids. Not as bad as i thought. DD is now getting up on all 4's but not for long. She's loving the commando crawl and is getting round rather well. We had a bad night but we now have another tooth on the way. Hasn't cut through but i can see white and its very lumpy. Hopefully tonight will be less screaming and more sleeping. Will be back later for more. Cant wait to read up on all the posts. Bye

[sassy123]

My bubby did a crawl this morning well i wont be for too long will i lol. she is gettin up on hands and knees rocking backwards and forwards. then she would pull her arms forward then hop her legs forward like a frog.

[Madham]

Morning everyone
Well i really need to be quick i am suppose to be doing bookwork and Hamish is suppose to be sleeping but after 45 mins he thinks its time to wake up. Grrr I shouldnt complain really he slept 12 hours last night so i guess he will make me pay today when i have so many plans.
Sass wow on the crawl, time for mischief now..lol
Bec gee i am glad you dont post 3 times a day we would not get time to read anyone else's post..lol your novels are always interesting and informative, not like my babble.
Jess i would go nuts with no internet, i hope its all sorted for you soon.
Mis T i also give ds water, he just chews on sippy cup thing but does get some in.
NaNa sounds like aadi is definetley on the move too, its funny watching them get around now
Deancey how is everything with you?
Girl22 how is yasmeena ? did you take her to physio?
Nikki how i Abbie? such a beautiful name you have given her.lol

Ok i best attend to this chatterbox and see why he thinks its time to play and not sleep.

[Madham]

Oh Abb has DP made it up yet??

Nope not yet
We had a big chat last night and he finally understands why i am so angry. So atleast it wont happen again....

[deancey]

mis_tree I hope you get some more child support, I cant see how $50 a month covers anything, nappies alone would cost more than that OMG how silly are these people. Good on you for doing it on your own though, what a superwomen.

Well Liam had 6 month check up. He is going great guns. He is on 75th percentile for weight which is awesome. She said he is developing really well with his rolling etc. He is such a party animal though, he rarely sleeps but is always happy so cant complaint I guess. He is partying on at the moment when he is meant to be asleep. HMMM gonna go put his dummy in AGAIN

Sassy that rash is weird, maybe try the juice again in a month and see what happens.

Jess I hope that tooth comes thru so you can get a better night sleep

Gotta tend to Liam, be back later
