Aren't we getting slack (and too busy) to post, I always have such good intentions, but clearly I neglect our thread Glad to see some activity today - you gals have motivated me to post!! However it feels like we have all slipped into one of those comfortable friendships where life sometimes gets a bit crazy but you can let a bit of time pass but still pick up where you left off without offending anyone!
Nicky - Lovely re the time off and yay for an upcoming girls weekend. I do enjoy our nights off, but so far the most I have been away from Bailz is about 30 hours - and by then I was itching to be reunited, hehehehe So not matter how much I yearn for a WHOLE weekend off - actually doing it is another thing altogether!! Good to hear you have a little chatterbox on your hands.
J - like the new nickname - lovely. How's newborn-land the 2nd time around? Jasmine is lovely, have been looking at her piccies on stalkbook How are you finding juggling TWO kids?
Amy - Hope Natty's eating improves with all the work and research you are putting into identifying the problem. I have everything crossed for you. Poor P with the molars. Bailey has cut 4 molars so far, but I think more are coming through this week also - he has two massive white lumps which look like they will break through at any moment. Hows the job going?
Vic - I have been chuckling at your public transport antics with tram tracker - you've made getting home into an extreme sport with your train/tram hopping Love the baby pics of you - Cerys definitely takes after you, I can see so much of her in your pics
BG - Hoping the move is going well and its starting to feel a bit like home, and that you get some rest - moving house is always busy, stressful etc so hope it all dies down for you babe
Bella - It was LOVELY to see you guys on Saturday, just sorry we didn't have more time to catch up properly. Jemima was an absolute angel and I enjoyed giving her lots of snuggly sleepy cuddles - what a delight she is You looked hot too babe in your Wedding finery hehehehe. Hope your trip home was good - sorry to hear Mima is sick now - poor munchkin
Krystie - cant wait to see some of the piccies from your new camera on FB. How exciting - you will become a photo addict like me. Today Bailey was whinging when I pointed the camera at him - Ooooops!! Methinks I take too many photo's. Sean asked what I would do if he keeps getting upset when I take photos - eg for my Blog, I said I'd just have to take lots of sleeping photo's until he is over it LMAO
Hi to everyone else too!
Well as you all have probably seen on FB, Bailey is finally walking - his physio treatment is going really well and the orthotics are clearly starting to help, still a fair bit of out turning, but he turns them in much more for walking and his balance has improved out of sight. It's amazing how quickly they take off, I didn't realise. He went from first steps Monday night to now walking right across a room confidently - amazing!
Just went to the travel agent today to sort out our travel insurance, I have everything crossed that our claim for our cancelled Melbourne trip gets approved as we'll hopefully get about $1500 back.
Bailey is good but going through a period of 'High Chair' refusal which is just a PITA at mealtimes. Sometimes he'll happily sit in it, sometimes he'll sit in it under sufferance and others he'll just chuck a mega tanty and refuse, it drives me bonkers. The other night I just put him on the floor with his plate of food and Sean and I sat at the table. Bailey chucked the mother of all tanty's after I got up from the table to get him some yoghurt and he lost it - and so did I!!! I threw his yogurt on the floor, yelled and then took him into the bathroom where he decided to change from tanty to meltdown. It was horrid, and not my finest moment, but we'd had one of THOSE days and it was just a horrible end to a horrible day. He's definitely got his mothers temper - fun times ahead for us all LOL Other than that though, all is going well, and 99% of the time he is a happy, beautiful little man who we get so much delight from, he just changes daily at the moment from a developmental perspective, it's hard to keep up!!
Anyway, have been having a bit of a look at the 2011 AFL fixture to pick a weekend to come to Melb next year and hoping we can combine a Footy Trip with a BB Meet Up on the same weekend. I'll study it a little closer and then throw some dates at you guys
Hope you all are well and all our babies are as beautiful as ever
Love Nay

Wow so much happening! I hate being all the way here in WA I feel like I miss out alot!
Jade has slept thru the last 4 nights she has only ever slept thru a handful of times so I am amazed, I think cause now the front two top teeth have finally busted thru (you girls prob saw on fb her incisiors or vampire teeth as we called them came thru before the big ones) so now she has 4 on top and 2 on bottom and must have had a growth spurt she was same height and weight for 8 months and has suddenly shot up 3 cm and put on a kilo! She is still a tiny little thing at 10.4kg and still isn't standing or walking ('she has stood a few seconds here and there and will walk holding my hand) but why walk when mummy gets you everything lol!
Looks like XP is going to quit his job (not sure if you guys knew but he's working up north ad DD went up on the plane with XPs mum to visit him) he missed her too much so he's gonna come get a job back in Perth which is good and bad cause it means he can see her more but the distance was great for us no love hate relationship troubles... Oh well see how it goes.
Jades talking tonnes a few 2-3 word phrases but mainly single words and parroting. Shes decided she won't eat savory foods after eating everything and anything grr.
Umm apart from that nothing exciting I've gone back to my old job not happy about that but it's money in the bank oh well. Hope all you lovely ladies are well and remember if u ever plan a trip to WA (lol who would do that) make sure u tell me, I'd love a playdate!
2 kids well its not easy but im not really finding it that hard jamie doesnt realise shes fragile and tries to lay on her and doesnt watch his feet when they are near her head and his tanties rival his fathers but hes teething he already has 12 teeth so hes getting his 2yr molars already but i wish he would talk already thats the only thing hes not doing its still mu mum mum and da da bub bub fa fa na na
J: They really don't know how to be gentle at this age, do they? Phoebe takes great delight in sticking her fingers up my nose... it's like she's trying to extract my brain. Maybe she's going to be a neurosurgeon.
Emma: I must get P weighed, but I don't think she is much more than that. Plus, both my girls are really short. I am glad for Jade that her dad is likely coming back to town! Sorry for the complications for you but how lovely for them both to have each other nearby. 2-3 word phrases is amazing! How lovely.
Nay: Oooh, hadn't caught up with Bailz being an upright mover and shaker now! How cool. Ah, sweety, my girls and I have meltdowns like that all the time - I SO get it. Thus far we haven't had highchair issues but we do have them often with the car seat and stroller. Have you tried those portable chairs that you hook up to a regular dining chair? You can get them from K Mart - we bought one for the holiday. Maybe he would sit in one of those?
Work is not too foul, ta. I just get impatient with it some days and wish I was at home or out having fun with the kids. (We could be having a cino right now, LOL!)
These poor bubs getting their 2yo molars already! Phoebe's are only her premolars but the poor thing is just so sad with them. It was horrible leaving her at CC this morning, she cried and cried
I have had such a quiet week at work this week, but next week will be FRANTIC. I am trying to enjoy the easiness of this week but am just getting bored. (Hence I've been clocking up the BB hours!)
We spent Wednesday with my mum as it was her birthday, and tonight we are having dinner with DH's family for our nieces birthday (which was also on Wednesday). After this we will have 4 more family birthdays, then Christmas, then DH & Natty's birthday 2 days after. Phew, it really is a crazy old season.
I have been trying to get on to FB more regularly. I do see your pics girls, and try to post comments etc where I can but I just don't always get there. I am thinking of you all though and I do stalk you every now and again! Hope all is well in your worlds.
Em - I'm visiting my brother in Perth in March - flight all booked - so people DO visit Perth LOL
Amy - tried the little booster seat thing - we had one from Bailey's brace days as he wouldn't fit in the high chair back then, but he still cracked it, I think its just being strapped in that annoys him, but we have tiles so he needs to be for safety. Just before Bailey was born the 2yo of a fellow Optus employee in my building died when he fell out of his high chair, so I am mega paranoid about this (hence me making Bailey sit on the floor the other day!!) Anyway I think I might just have to start using his little IKEA table and chairs for mealtimes
Naomi- I can't say thank you enough! It was awesome to not have to rely on my sister and her friends and have someone I could call on for Jemima. You did an awesome job and it was lovely just going out as adults and getting little updates to let my mind rest knowing that she was safe and happy. Love you!
Jacinta- Congratulations honey!! Good job on the drug free. you sound proud and you should be! I hope you are feeling great! Sounds like breast feeding is coming along really well too. I can't remember if you bf'd Jamie or not but whatever you did keep going and enjoy the lovely bfing relationship.
Ok I can't stay on here long. I just wanted to pop in and say hi. Life is pretty hectic at the moment. The Friends of the Birth Centre is keeping me busy and we have a picnic in the park coming up soon. We are also due to go to the UK for 6 weeks from Nov 28th so that is exciting. We will be in Scotland for a wedding which sounds lovely! I just have no idea what to wear!
well no i didnt bf jamie well not past 5 days anyway yep its going well except we somehow have picked up thrush but its being treated now and is already starting to clear and shes got her first sniffles already but shes actually feeding better coz shes not sucking in as much air as she was lol
jamie got a new remote control truck its a massive blowup thing and ive started a blog link in my siggy u guys should check it out it took me forever to make the header and im so proud of it lol
Well congratulations then Jacinta You sound very proud, good for you. And if you find yourself struggling and need advice at all feel free to ask. There are lots of us here who have enjoyed bfing. If it is late at night remember the 24hr hotline 1800 6862686 or I remember it as 1800 mum 2 mum. The Aba has consultants on all night. They have helped me several times when I struggled with one issue or another. Good luck babe
Hi everyone, have been reading at work, but have to save my fingers from typing too much on IPhone. My parents are here which is cool, and am now part time which is great as I need some extra sleep - because I am pregnant - is only early days 4 wks 4 days, had confirmed at docs today, HCG level good 600 at 30 days since LMP. Anyway very happy about it, originally I had thought winter 2012 but decided might want less of a gap for lots of reasons (one of them BB just makes me clucky!), so we were NTTP (not trying to prevent - as I like to call it) and have been very lucky that has happened right away. Anyway mum has just finished cooking me tea so got to go. Is all hush hush on FB till the new year and the 12 week scan.
Yay! Now I get to congratulate you in here too!!! That grin that was on my face for you is still there. I'm sure I look like a fool, hehe I think the age gap is going to be lovely for you. CJ might understand a little more of what's happening than Kyson does. When I point to my tummy and ask "who's in there?", Kyson replies with "bubba", but he also said that there was a "bubba" in daddy's tummy too, lol. It's adorable when he kisses my tummy though. Fingers crossed you have a nice breezy pregnancy!
Oh that's fantastic news! Congrats Vic!!! I hope you have a wonderful, m/s free pregnancy!! I love the smaller age gaps... although they can be challenging at times, these kids are each others best friends and it's so adorable to watch
Hi everyone! Just popping in quickly before I set off on my girls weekend. So excited! Cannot wait!! ( It is only an hour away... but it's 2 nights away with some awesome lovlies).
Yay, Congrats Vic, that is awesome news - we'll I'll aim to have the 2012 baby then (or late 2011 lol). So pleased for you that it happened so quickly - Yay! Hope you are feeling well and healthy
Congratulations Vic!! Brilliant news All the best for a H&H pregnancy. (And love NTTP, haha.) Enjoy whatever rest you can get, mate. Glad you are down to part time now and are able to enjoy more time with CJ.
Nay, how are you going with mealtimes & the highchair issue? We have just aquired a little table and chairs (thank you curbside cleanup!) and I let the girls have dinner there the other night on N's request. Damn, I wish I didn't have carpet! They made such a mess but they had a lovely time.
Glad to see some activity today - you gals have motivated me to post!! However it feels like we have all slipped into one of those comfortable friendships where life sometimes gets a bit crazy but you can let a bit of time pass but still pick up where you left off without offending anyone!
So not matter how much I yearn for a WHOLE weekend off - actually doing it is another thing altogether!! Good to hear you have a little chatterbox on your hands.
Love the baby pics of you - Cerys definitely takes after you, I can see so much of her in your pics
