i wish BG jamie is so funny though he sees i have a nappy and he runs away lol no words yet but i know when he wants food he stands at the bench where the bread is and when he needs a refill of his drink he hands me his cup nad walks to the kitchen i love it lol especially when i get hit with it lol
Bailz crawls away at breakneck speed when I have a nappy in hand J - perhaps its a boy thing, they just like to flash their willy LOL
Hello my ladies.
*hugs everyone* ive missed you all.
I have spare few mins while andy is napping and ashy is singing to paradise city by guns n roses....
I remembered my p/w yaaaay. been busy with studies blah!!! finally passed my very first units yaaaay. Waiting to find out kinder placements driving me nuts grrrr damn councils. Andrew is walking its offical, does nothing else but when i wanna video he falls down n sooks hmmm And ashy is finally toilet rained yippeee im saving soo much $$$ its lovely.
how are you all? how r those cute lil ones?
Hi Jess!! Glad to hear you are doing well and progressing well with your studies. My kids don't behave for the camera either. Natty now says, "I'm not smiling Mummy" and walks away. Congrats to Ash on the TT. Nat has finally got the picture too and we have very few accidents these days. She is still in nappies overnight though and they are VERY wet in the morning.
Jacinta: Oooh, you are getting to the pointy end of this pregnancy now! Almost 30 weeks! Love the thought of Jamie standing at the bench where the food is, LOL! Cute.
BG: So sorry things have been really rough for you of late. I am so thrilled to read of how you delight in your little girl. She certainly does sound clever! Phoebe picks up and carries her pj's and her bibs... but only to be destructive and mischievous, not because it's bed/food time! LOL! We too have to have a separate remote for her - ours kept disappearing.
Nay: At last weigh P was 9.8kg too (clothed) but she has since had gastro so I would think she's lost a bit of weight.
I have been thinking about Wiggles too as Natty has never been, poor deprived child! I don't think I'd want to go with the both of them on my own though. Eeeek!
Good on you for having Christmas sorted already. I still have to get through the back-half-of-the-year-birthday-list first! I did explore the sales though and I caved and bought N a Barbie for her birthday.
Krystie: We have been very sick here too - feels like Winter is carrying on forever. Hope your DSS's are better and Kyson didn't get too crook with any of it.
Ah, the little one has awoken. She has gone down to 1 nap per day now. Sigh. Our nights have been dreadful while she's been sick, and the poor little thing has such a red bum from pooing so much. Ok, she's really screeching now, LOL! GTG. xx
Thanks for all the well wishes and healthy vibes. DH ended up taking 10yo DSS to the children's hospital on Monday night. FInally after 4 doctors and two hospital visits he was thoroughly checked over and had a chest xray. His chest looks pretty good which was great news. They gace him a possible diagnosis of whooping cough. Apparently whooping cough is only contagious for 5-7 days, so he's no longer contagious, but 13yo DSS who hadn't been coughing for as long probably has it too and may still be contagious (although probably not because it's been more than a week for him too). They are both on meds and have been staying at their Mum's house to keep them away from me and Kyson just in case. Although I still find it amusing that the two kids in the house that were fully vaccinated against whooping cough have caught it, whereas myself who only ever had one shot due to a severe reaction, and Kyson who we've chosen not to vaccinate due to his higher risk of reactions and long term disorders, both haven't caught it. We just still have the tail end of this cold but it's clearing up and Kyson had it fairly mild again compared to how bad it could have been. The DSS's are back on the weekend, but Kyson and I are going to go down and stay a night or two at my parents to again play it safe. Also, my Mum just really likes the idea, haha!
Oh, and last time I weighed Kyson (which was a couple of weeks ago), he was 11.5kg. He's getting close to the 12kg mark when we need to turnt he seat around in my car, but I was thinking yesterday that we might get away with leaving the seat that way a little while longer until we put a new seat in the car for the baby. That way the existing seat in the middle can stay rear-facing for the baby and Kyson can have the new seat installed facing the front.
Nay - I was thinking about getting tickets to take Kyson to the Wiggles too. DH thinks Kyson might be too young, but I was still going to get them. Until I realised it's when I'll be a big fatty preggy, lol!
I hope you are enjoying being back at home after your little trip. Did Bailey give you the biggest best cuddles ever?!
Oh, I've been meaning to take Kyson to the aquarium for ages, so if you defintely end up going let me know what day and I'll try to come with you if you want?
Bridg - Good work on the walking and losing weight. It must feel great to get out and be more active. I've been terribly inactive lately and can't wait until I feel better (and the weather warms up!) to get out and about more with Kyson.
Nic - Well done on already having stuff for Aaron's second birthday! I ended up buying Kyson one thing from the sale, but gave it to him now, lol. I got him one of the little fold out couches. He keeps trying to climb on ours so I thought having his own might help with that. Not really though, hehe.
BG - I know what you mean about being amazed at how much our bub's are coming along in leaps and bounds. It astounds me how much Kyson understands of what I say to him. He's saying lots and lots more words now. It's so funny because if I ask him if he wants a cracker or sultanas he will repeat the word and go to the pantry. Once I have what he wants I ask him to close the door and he does, hehe. He doesn't quite get stuff ready for a nappy change, but if I tell him "Let's go change your nappy" he'll run to his room where I change him. Too cute!
Uh oh! He's just woken up so I better go. Take care all!!!
jamie would love the wiggles but i think it might be a bit hard with a NB oh well they will come again lol
KL - not sure which day we'll go to the Aquarium as yet, we have no specific plans on Friday, Sunday or Monday - so it will be one of those days LOL! Would LOVE you to come along :)
Ooh, we would happily join you on the Sunday? :)
It's a date!!! I'm excited:
Sorry we won't be around on the Sunday now :(
Ah, had SUCH a crap night last night. $10 says Phoebe has tonsillitis again by Wednesday. Her cough is exactly the same as last time. I think it has been 2-3 weeks... right on the money. Poor bugger.
The kids have had a weird tummy bug too - I think they're over it and then they get the runs again. It's odd, and quite frustrating. We are washing hands well, I'm cleaning like a machine constantly but we can't seem to shake it. This morning I was in tears just praying that winter would be over soon. Today has been glorious - am taking that as a "there-there" pat on the shoulder from God, LOL!
Sorry for the self-absorbed post. I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. xxx
Never Mind :(
Hope Phoebe DOES'T have tonsilitis (not taking your bet though, Mummy's normally know these things)
I hear ya on the Winter Whinge Babe, and I'll jump on oyour bandwagon! Tell you what, I'll pack you in my bag when we head to Cairns from Melbourne - l am looking forward to the warmth too. Winter is just damn depressing, I look outside and our garden is just one big soggy weed-fest - bring on spring!
hehehe i hear you! deciding to sell in the middle of winter wasn't the smartest thing we've ever done! the garden clean up is doing my head in! so wet and smooshy, but it's looking fantastic. i'm just sick of grot under my nails! lol:
Amy - hope miss P doesn't have tonsilitis again. i remember getting it all the time as a kid (til i had them out at 11) - not fun! i feel so bad for any little kiddies that get it.
wb Jess!
KL - E is over the 12kg mark now so we've had to turn her seat. she was ready for it and likes sitting up and looking out now. she also likes seeing if we have a snack cos then she can demand one too! lol
argh, was gonna do a longer post but E into everything today! as you may have seen on FB, i spent friday in hospital with suspected appendicitis (after an ectopic pregnancy was, thankfully, ruled out) - we still don't know what happened, but i'm not 100% still, and it's taken a lot out of me. we have an open house on Saturday that DH organised without telling me til a few days later. i don't think he GETS what it's all about, so i neeeeeeeeed to do stuff as much as it hurts and i just don't want to. supervising isn't working lol. so i'm off for a while. today i think i'll tacking the ensuite to make it much cleaner - while he and E are outside. i'm sure i can manage it... i hope ...
BG: Ooer, are you feeling ok now? Still a bit sore? Hope the cleaning goes ok - don't overdo it! Make sure DH doesn't slack off if you do stuff as well.
Nay: I'd love to be going to Cairns. We are going up for Christmas but that'll be the other extreme - too darn hot, LOL! Ah well.
Oh BTW, Phoeb has cracked 10kg - weighed her this morning at the drs.
She has one pus-coated tonsil, but the dr said because her temp isn't raging and she's still looking comfortable and eating well that we'll just observe her for a while rather than having yet another course of ABs, which I am happy about. She said that Phoebs obviously just has a propensity for inflamed tonsils when she catches a bug... Just something we have to live with.
I really can't complain too much - my poor niece is so ill atm. She is immune deficient and has just gone into hospital again because she was septic - extremely ill. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for my brother and SIL, with her being so sick all the time. This winter has really given me a bit of an insight into how incredibly hard it must be for them. I whinge because my kids seem to get colds then tummy bugs then colds etc, but it's all very manageable really. Just a PITA.
I am loving the warmer weather we've been having. It has been cold overnight (was up with Phoebe from 11:30 to 2am last night) but the days have been glorious.
still very sore - i am thinking i must have adhesions or something - everytime my bladder fills i hurt (but there is no infection), everytime i go to the loo i hurt (and am spotting too - not happy!). it's not unbearable now by any means, not like friday. but it's uncomfy enough to be annoying and slowing me down. i wanted to get some more stuff done today (am working the next three days so don't want to be leaving too much to the last minute) and DH was slacking off and focussing on invisible stuff rather than visible mess (i don't think he gets that it's the visible stuff we need to deal with FIRST) - anyway, i had a tired, painful, hormonal hissy at him. all of a sudden two rooms are all but completely finished! apparently me cracking it cos i had rooms looking near spotless and he messed tehm up while i was at work has got him motivated. we've just had a late lunch (after E woke) and will be getting up and pushing for more to get done. i am getting good at sitting in one place, pretending to be a climbing frame and cleaning from there with the point of a magical finger lol:
Thank you for the welcome back Amy..... Oh i seriously thought ash was never going to get it b4 kinder but he did.
Lee ty for my WB. Andy weighs like 12-12.5 kgs i reckon...TBH i have no idea.
We juat had a hard rubbish i could not believe how much crap me n hubby keep crazy.
Hi girls!! I know, I'm such a slacker and don't drop by nearly enough! I do have a quick read from time to time, but not usually enough time to post. Glad to see that you guys are enjoying our little May bundles. The development they seem to make after the first year really seems amazing... But then you'll be shocked again after the second year... The stuff Rochelle comes up with!!! Gosh, she cracks us up! I love her age at the moment, she's so much fun. Although everyday I am stunned at Brooklyn because her personality and development really shows that she's almost a proper little girl now... Not my little baby anymore. She's super cheeky! She loves playing with dolls and absolutely loves 'my little pony' and continues to put it to bed in my baking mitts. We always laugh when we find it. She's trying to copy alot of what her sister says. Rochelle obviously didn't have an older sibling, so wasn't trying to talk as much. Brook follows Ro around alot, but man... Do they have some bust ups!!! I can't help but giggle sometimes. The other day I was in the kitchen and I could hear Brooklyn repeating 'Ta, Taaa? TAAAAA!' to her sister had her drink bottle and Brooklyn thought it'd be a good idea she have a drink too - Rochelle was taking her time giving it to her, so Brooklyn started doing the sprinkler with her arms in frustration hitting Rochelle. Brooklyn can be really sweet too and will take her sisters comfort lamb to her with a sweet soft 'taa leh' (lamby is it's name). Girls are fabulous otherwise. Brooklyn eats like a horse...
Can you believe I only have another 6 weeks till my due date?! Brooklyn was born two weeks early, so if this baby decides to come about the same time, I could only have 4 weeks! I hope I make till my Edd though. I felt like the problems we had with feeding Brooklyn was maybe because she was a little early still. Rochelle is super excited. I bought her heaps of books on new baby's and becoming a big sister... Plus with all the baby's being born in our family at the moment, it's helped her understand heaps. She keeps asking me if we'll get our baby soon or when we get in the car if we're going to pick up the new baby now. So nice sharing it with her this time now she understands more.
I see you guys have been talking about the wiggled! Neither of mine have been either, but I wouldn't hesitate to go if they came to our town! Brooklyn loves dancing and Rochelle loves singing to the wiggled cd in the car... I'd just sling the new born and have one on each side of me. We'd really love to go to Justine Clarks concert too - she's a real hit with both of the girls. When I have dishes to do or floors to mop or something, I usually just pop on a Justine Clark video! Really keeps them entertained. They love her songs in the car too.
Ok, I've probably talked excessively. I hope you guys are all well!!! Only a couple more months till 18 month needles. :o(
Oh, one last thing. Does anyone have any advise on which order I should put the kids car seats in the back of my 4wd? We have two ahr maxi riders and a convertible car seat for the new baby. At the moment Brooklyn is in the middle and Ro is on the passanger side.
Hi Catherine, good to hear from you. I must have totally missed something, because I had no idea that you are pregnant too (although you are a bit further ahead than myself and Jacinta). I'm glad both your girls are going well. With the car seats, I'd probably put Ro in the middle because she can climb in, and then you only have to lift the babies (yup, I still think of Kyson as a baby, lol) to the closer seats.
Sorry I can't post more girls. We're changing over our internet provider and were told that there would be no downtime, but of course the modem they sent out doesn't even turn on, so we have no home internet connection at the moment. I keep jumping online briefly using DH's work wireless internet thingo just to keep up with posts and facebook, lol!
Oh Congratulations Mylitta! You'll soon change thinking of Kyson as a baby once your new baby comes. I remember feeling the same way before I had Brooklyn and then Danny brought Rochelle into hospital after I had Brooklyn and I could not get over how grown up she all of a sudden seemed!! I think the last few weeks since I've been able to tie Brook's hair into pigtails too, it's really made her look like a little girl. Silly I know. But she is a real mummy's girl, so she'll always be my 'baby' regardless. I hope your pregnancy continues to progress perfectly and I'm sure D day will be here before you know it. I know mine has just flown by!!!
