So what was it I was saying about not tantruming in public? Well it sure came and bit me on the ass yesterday I can tell you LOL! Lindsay had an opthamologist appt yesterday and I had to take Pand A with me cause DH had to go to a funeral and I didn't have anyone else to look after them at short notice and OMG he laid it on. He was still happy enough to sit in the stroller, but just crying or squealing or yelling the whole time with impatience. Even when we went and had lunch he carried on for a bit until he got some OJ in his cup and then refused to eat any lunch. But it did make me feel better when a lady was leaving and she told me I had gorgeous children and she couldn't believe how well behaved they were! I almost said, 'well lady, you sure must have seen some shockers in your time' ROFL. L and P were fine, but just The Boy. Once we got home he was fine of course. But right now he's sitting here with the poos cause he can hear DH on the motorbike and he wants to go with him, so he has a thong in his hand wanting me to put it on - nevermind that he's wearing trackies and socks :rolleyes:
So anyway L's appointment went well - he now has 20/20 vision in his right eye and his left isn't quite there. So we've got a new prescription for weaker lenses for his left eye (they were a +7.5 and now we're down to a +6.0). So he'll never be a pilot, but he wont ever have a problem with driving or anything like that.

Hmmm is it our rainy who has welcomed the valentines day baby??
LOL Trill, had to have a giggle at that!
-
I know who it is and it's not our dear G ;) but I'm not fessing up *mwa-ha-ha*
-
Wasn't going to post but decided I will. I am off to the Dr shortly, have been bleeding and cramping all morning. Fingers crossed all is still good.
-
Oh Sh it Katie! I hope it's all going to be fine :hug:
-
oh katie i hope it's ok
what's this about me having a valentine's baby? think i might call him romeo LOL
-
Oh Katie thinking of you, hope its nothing. I had cramping & bleeding with Maddie too so I'm sure its just something similar.
Rainy - There's a post in birth announcements today, a mystery mama has had a v day baby & I was wondering if it was you. Obviously not! lol. Hey I love the name Romeo, but I dont know if I'd be brave enough to choose it.
-
i wish it was me!
nah, we've spent today setting up lewis' bed, cleaning the house, getting prepared for little romeo. i'm in the middle of packing my labour bag. 000 wondersuits are so small, i can't believe it!
-
I am back. Dr wants me to go and have bloods done today and Tuesday to check HCG levels but all Pathology labs are closed already. I am going to go and see my regular GP tomorrow morning and see what he says. I have an ultrasound booked for Tuesday and was meant to have the full bloods done then anyway. I only went today as DH is freaking out lol. The bleeding has stopped and the cramping isn't to bad. At the moment I am not to worried and am just making DH wait on me hand and foot ;)
Rainy Romeo is so cute. 000 clothes are just adorable arent they. Let us know how L goes in his big bed.
Trillian had to laugh at A, always seems to be the way when we say our child isn't doing something...bam they start.
-
They are aren't they? You get them all out and you can't believe that they ever fitted into them *sigh*
Katie, glad you're home and resting up. That's about all you can do at this stage. I hope that it all settles down for you though and you see a nice healthy HB when you have your scan
-
Katie - Ohh I'm sure it will all be fine. If the bleeding has slowed thats a good sign!

Kate:
I hear you on the tanty’s! Jack was rolling around on the floor throwing on cause I wouldn’t give him my wallet.
Hayley:
They gave me some tablets that will hopefully act like a sleeping tab & help Alex sleep. The Dr wants to try that to see if regular constant sleep patterns will help.
Could be teething. Alex has bad nappies if he eats too many grapes.
Katie:
The carer did try to call me. Due to the rain & the overcast skies my phone was playing up & I had to keep turning it off & on just to get reception to send a txt.
:hug: hope everything is okay & the Dr confirms that too.
Clare:
aww, so cute on L’s morning cuddles. I love them!
Trill:
:hug:. Glad Lindsay’s app’t went well though.
MD:
how's the recovery going?
Sitting here not doing much but watching Charmed & the boys play. Been listening to rain 4 the last 24hrs ...
hope your Valentine day has gone well ladies xox

I guess things just have a way of working themselves out Andie - can you imagine if they still came and you were stuck in the house with MIL all day cause of the rain? *shudders* ;) But on the downside it's just pushed it all further back and I'm sure you're just wanting it all to be sorted.
OK, I've been meaning to ask this for ages but keep forgetting - does any of your little darlings have a fascination with drawing on the walls? Alister is a shocker - as soon as he finds a pencil (a texta is even better!) he goes straight over to the nearest wall and draws all over it! It's driving me mental. he likes to draw in books too (and OMG his control of a pencil/texta is amazing! It's like he's been holding them for years - both left and right hand) but his fave is definately the wall. The others were never this bad, but then we didn't have such an easy availability of things for them to draw with kwim? And nothing is working as a deterrent either, we've even had to smack his hand :( so I"m really hoping it's just a phase.
-
Trillian yep L loves to draw on the walls, only he will use anything that makes a mark like his drumstick or kitchen utensils. Our walls are shocking, we dont have very good paint and the chux magic erasers have made the marks even worse. L also has prety good pencil control in both hands.
No more bleeding this morning so feeling positive. Called mum last night, not the best way to tell her I am pregnant but was glad to talk to her. Dad comes up to visit this week so he can help out with L and I can rest a bit.
I am so over the tantrums, I know that most of them are because he cant communicate but its so frustrating. Guess I should go and have a shower and start the day, its beautiful and sunny and not to hot here today.

Hi girls!
Katie: i'm glad the bleeding has slowed. it must be pretty stressful dealing with that. oh how these kidlets like to make us go grey with worry!
Sherie: ROFL at A's tanty! oh the timing! although fairly lucky that he stayed in the pram. we have a girl that can wiggle out of her carseat....while we are driving!!!
that's great news about L's eyes improving. i feel his pain lol! Although i have been told that treatment is so much better these days for this condition (he has a weak eye no?).
no, no drawing on walls...shhh, trying to keep that option quiet! LOL! we do have an 'artist' in the midst though. this morning she was sticking stars on her drawing...seriously drawing is the only way to keep her occupied while i do the dishes.
Rainy: go with that nesting!! what kind of bed did you get L?
IKWYM about the small suits! Leila spent the first 2 months in 00000's and now when i look at them i just can't believe it. mwah.
AFM: well we had a gorgeous valentines! Leila's Godmother came to babysit last night so we went to this AMAZING italian restaurant in lygon st called D.O.C. they have all these amazing italian imported ingredients from the meat to the cheeses to the olives etc etc and they make it all the proper way. i had a beautiful truffle and porcini pizza with buffalo mozzarella. i always get this when we go to italy so was heaps of fun to find it here. then we went to see changeling. quite a nice film, but omg Jolie is sooooo thin. i found it slightly distracting. i remember her from 'gone in 60secs' and she was the gorgeous voloptous (sp?) woman...
and this morning leila woke up none the wiser! :D
also, as i mentioned to sherie, we have a houdini in the car seat when we drive...does anyone else? and how do you deal with it???
-
Sounds like you had a wonderful night Clare. I bet you'll be frequenting that restaurant often then? We never had a problem with them getting out of the 5point harness seats, but we had loads of trouble when they first went into a booster with just a regular seatbelt. I know Christy (one of the other mods) had the same trouble with her eldest escaping from the carseat and I can't remember what she used to do about it. From time to time Alister can get ours undone by accident if he forces himself against it, but the clip is getting jammed and it takes a bit of mucking around to get it to catch these days, so we're getting a maxi rider for him because I just can't rely on it anymore kwim? But I suppose it's had 8 years use, which is probably as much as you can expect from a carseat? And yes, I do prefer the Gone in 60 seconds Jolie and Tomb Raider Jolie to all the other ones.
Katie, that's super great there has been no more bleeding overnight :hug: Glad to hear that your Dad will be there to give you a bit of a hand with L. IKWYM about the chux, as great as they are, they really take a toll on your walls. OUr paint was pretty ordinary to start with and this isn't helping.
-
hhmmm thanks for that sherie...she isn't actually popping the lock on the harness but rather contorts out of the straps and then can push upwards to get her legs out....
maybe i should post this in the baby and toddler section and see what ppl reckon LOL! urgghh :rolleyes: my lil' houdini.
-
hi girls
is it just me or is anyone else finding all the pics on bb of the bears in cages quite disturbing?
i'm so tired today, i think i overdid it yesterday. my back is aching. dh actually got out of bed at a reasonable hour this morning for the first time ever and we took lewis to the playground for a run-around. he loved it! we took my new double pram, it's awesome :)
now dh has gone to the tip and is getting us mcdonalds on the way home. i think he feels bad cos he didn't get me anything for valentines- our first one as married...
clare- your valentines dinner made my mouth water! sounds lovely. i checked out those clothes, thanks NOT!!! i don't need any encouragement :lol: there's a shop near me that stocks them, so might have to check it out. i'm trying to get dh to buy me a new doona cover atm though, we threw out 2 recently so now i have a star wars darth vader one on my bed:rolleyes: not too pretty!
we bought lewis a king size single from 40winks, it's gorgeous.
trill- no wall drawing here yet, thankfully! dh would kill him :lol:
katie- hope everything is ok. i had some bleeding early in this pg, it's v scarey.
can't remember anything else, i'm hopeless! hope md pops on soon to let us know she's ok...
