Hi Girls,

Just wanted to quickly say goodluck to Sarah for tomorrow! I'll be there with you in spirit holding your hand!! Can't wait til POAS day! WOOHOO! Sounds like you and Natty had a great time! Can't wait to see pics!!!

Telly: I agree! Lets make a date!

Alison: You are BEAUTIFUL! Of course Amelia gets her good looks from you! I'll let you know about the Audiologist that i get referred to. Thanks for that honey :hug:

Better go, Brit has Netball soon. It's so funny, I'm watching her out the window on her quad bike, DH has got a bonfire going and Brit is tying massive branches to the back of her bike and dragging them to the bonfire! Sooo funny! She is such a bush kid!

Have a lovely weekend my Iced Vo-Vo's xxxxx

oooh quad bike, DH wants to get Amelia a mini quad bike for the farm lol.......wonder if you can get pink ones lol.

Love you Kymmy, you're so sweet. Iced Vo-Vo....I haven't had one of those for years!
xx

Yes you can get pink ones! Dh has been looking for one for Archie since he was born!!
Yes, I might pick me up some iced vo-vos.... Mmmmmmmm.

hi ladies i miss you all but stupid phone is a pain to type on. i'll try to catch up on personal next time and contribute properly.. i can't wait to tell you about our meet up it was so great :) love you all x x

Hi girls,

Just a quick question...
Does anyone remember how much their baby slept at around 12 weeks?
I'm really worried about my cousins baby, he sleeps 12 hours over night then is only awake for an hour then naps for 3-4 hours then awake for an hour then asleep again for 3-4 etc etc... He is asleep more than awake, even during the day.
It doesn't seem right to me, does it to you guys?
I'll be back tomorrow, goodnight xxxx

Hey girls

Sorry Kymmie I lost my memory a coupler kids ago

Well all kids slept through last night and I was up til 4 am with BAD stomach pains really bloated and gassy it was horrid never eating a whole pizza then a banana again,
Still feeling thd same just not as painful just uncomfy

Haha mon you're funny!! The banana must have pushed you over the edge!

Pmsl Mon, you are so funny :) Stoopid fruit! lol

Ok Im not sure how long I have for this, things here are pretty hectic now dh is here, lots of visiting etc so trying to get internet time is pretty rare until I go home on Wednesday...

Ok not sure what everyone has written but...

Kymmy... Mine definately did not sleep like that but I think it is still within the normal ranges...some kiddies are just snoozy like that...God I hope my next one is..

Alison, Im glad Amelia seems to be going better. I have seen your fb status and felt sorrt for you, sleep deprivation is not nice in any form...

Madame I hope the opening of Hennie and Fox went well! Photos please! Oh and I was stoked the other day to meet you and your little family too :) Bahaha on mother of the year awards, at least you can Navigate! I dont know why I got the map f the museum Its clear a map is useless to me....:rofl: (for everyone else I got lost going off the west gate bridge in Melbourne then sweated like a pig for about an hour in the car trying to find my way to the Museum as I had forgotten my Navman... I was so lost and in the middle of a city with noone to help with the map or driving it was hillarious if you think ppl panicking and driving aroound in circles is funny...) Im so in awe of how patient and kind you are and how you can juggle all of your responsibilities :)

Bec!!!! We so missed seeing you there how darn unfortunate thet Ruby got sick on the eve of our big ole reunion! Things here are so busy and I dont think Ill be able to come see you but Im thinking I might be able to come again this year and if I do we can meet up again!!

Ok so now I have to go again but I might be back later as SIL has given me the password to the computer xx

I'm so jealous I missed the meet, of all the times she could have got sick. Kids!?! Haha I knew you would be flat out natty, just thought I'd try my luck and get you out here! Maybe next time you are here we could all go on the Puffing Billy. The kids would love it!
Sarah I really hope the opening of hennie and fox went well, looking forward to hearing about it. I'm going to ballarat next week - I'll look at detouring past your way and see the shop myself!
Mon your post didn't show up on my phone but it sound like it was funny based on the other replies. I'll just laugh anyway so I feel included haha!
Kym how's the belly going? You must be worried about Archie, he'll be right though xx. What's that I read about him making noises over Millie?? Might have to have a stern talking to him ha!
Well, ruby is getting better, she still has a nasty cough but her nose isn't green anymore. She is getting very fast with her comando-ing and makes all sorts of squealing noises. Oh and she waves!! It's that gorgeous backwards wave, naww I just wanna eat her.
I went to bed to feed ruby at about 8.30 tonight and woke up at 11! Now it's almost 12 and I'm wide awake. Thank god for wireless Internet on my phone.
Well, I'm going to go back onto fb - my new favorite place to go shopping. Seriously there are some awesome businesses on there, I have bought heaps…
Night night xxx

Hi Kymmy - hmm that sounds a bit much for your cousin's baby re the sleeping. I mean, Amelia was sleeping through the night without a feed at that age but she was not sleeping without waking at all and she certainly didn't sleep for 3-4 hours at a time during the day after only being awake for 1 hour. Maybe he's just a big sleeper like some are catnappers. You know that girl from work who annoys me, well her baby is 9 weeks younger than Amelia so she's about 5 months old and she's still in 000's and is 1.5 kgs lighter than Amelia was at that age. I know every child is different and Amelia's not exactly on the small side (lol) but her baby too slept a lot from a very early age and lots during the day, considering she is BF'd as well it's not what I would expect. Her baby has only been putting on 65 grams a week the last month which the health nurse wants to keep an eye on. She doesn't seem concerned but I personally am wondering if it's because she wasn't fed enough earlier on when they need it to grow etc. She was letting her baby go 8 hours at night without food from 4 weeks on, you know how babies can sleep a lot if you let them but you need to wake them to feed them if they're not waking on their own.....well anyway that's my theory. So my question is, are they BF'ing or FF'ing and are they waking him to feed or letting him sleep? Babies who aren't getting enough food tend to be more lethargic that's all. I went the long way around for that didn't I! lol

AFM - well Amelia is all back to normal with her sleeping thank goodness, well this week anyway! Last week took it out of me that's for sure and I'm still trying to catch up. She still has a little bit of a runny nose but she is breathing fine at night now and seems much happier. Her 2nd tooth popped on Saturday and instantly her sleeping went back to normal. You can't tell me teething and colds don't come together - I'm convinced....she had a cold the same week both teeth appeared. The doctors reckon it's crap but I think they just hate not being able to explain it! I might still keep her away from swimming tomorrow just to make sure she's well and truly over it. I'd hate to put her back to square on, poor thing was miserable last week. You don't realise until they're well again, she still managed to smile last week but she just seems so much perkier now.

Hope everyone's having a lovely week so far, I've got lots on this week, including a mini pedicure today, a birthday present from a friend. Can't wait, I desperately need it. Next on the list is my hair, badly needs a cut and colour, it's just finding the time, hard to get to the hairdresser with a baby these days!

Hello my lovelies!

Feels like forever since I wrote a nice long post, when really, it was probably less than 48 hours ago, haha, ahh I'm such an addict!

Shayna - You're FB status made me chuckle, because it is sooo darn true! I've found the best way to keep on top of the floor situation is, I only mop once a week, but I literally get on my hands and knees after each meal and hand wipe the dining room (well the part of it that our little family uses and gets dirty) with dishwashing liquid and warm water. Seems to work! Hurts my knees, but if it gets me out of having to get the mop and bucket constantly, I'm keen for it! How's little miss Abbey going? JD? Every time the kids play with the chickens, I think of you. hahaha! Oo which made me think, how many do you have, and how many eggs do you get a day? Out of curiosity? Won't be atleast another month before ours start to lay, but I can't wait! :D

Kymmy - How is your beautiful belly going?? Only one more week before you can officially announce the news! Can't wait to see some photos, I'm soo curious! How is Brit going with everything too? Still excited about the family growing? She is such a beautiful girl, i love her to bits and she doesn't even know me! haha! I loved reading your post about her riding the four wheeler helping collect firewood. I even told the story to DH at the dinner table the other night. He was ultra jealous. His mega mega dream is to win lotto and buy some property so our kids could have that type of life. You're children are going to be so well grounded and successful in life - how could the not with you as a mummy? ;)

Sarah - I've been stalking you a little bit! hehe! I keep heading over to your hennie and fox fb page to see if you've added anything! I can't wait to see photos, and fingers crossed some online shopping! :crossfingers: I'm so glad that you and Natty enjoyed your meetup! Must have been awesome! And don't stress about the pram incident, that happened to me when Kaili was a bubby. It was at a BBQ with these girls who I'm not that keen on, I was soo embarrased :hug: Hopefully the week will fly by and we can all hear the POAS result :D Gosh you ladies know how to get me clucky! But its okay, you can all have some more babies for me to goo and gaa over, so I shouldn't have to have anymore for a while yet (atleast 2 more years). I hope you're taking time to relax every now and then, put your feet up and watch some Ellen (lol, I only say that cause its my fav)

Mon - I really got into that book hey! There is also another stephanie meyer book, the host. It was a bit of a struggle to get into, I remember the first line really threw me off - was so bizare! But I stuck to it, and gee... it was another bloody good read! I think I'm possibly just a S.M addict. haha. Can't believe how little your gal still is! How precious! Have you started her on solids yet? Hope you and your family are going great xo

Natty - You are one brave woman driving in the city! I'm so terrified of driving in cities. Its so foreign to me. I would have been sweating bullets too. Buggar that for a joke! So glad you girls had an excellent day. Great to hear you got Tully's seal of approval too, hehe! You're one special natty, thats for sure! Oo I also read on FB that you've got a crawling baby! Yey V! And how awesome is that, that she decided to start now while you guys are holidaying with family?! Great timing V! Any word yet of heading back to work? Or are you going to SAH for a while longer now you guys are casually TTC?

Suz - Hey matie! Haven't heard from you for a while. I hope those boys are well, and not keeping you too busy! Thanks for your comment on my FB photo too! I know what you mean, about you wouldn't have believed it had you not seen it. hehe! Its one of my biggest worries that you ladies will think i'm exagerating! haha! I promise I'm not! And although I am very proud of my little man, I really do wish he would slow down.. Having baby #3 for us is really uncertain, so he may be my last.. :(

Alicia - I just love the photos of Cruz on FB! He is such a little spunk rat! I know I am constantly saying it, but he is! How could I not! haha! I was also stalking your photos of fb aswell, looking at your wedding ones. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your dress! Its just beautiful, and suited you perfectly! Was your wedding big, small, medium? One of the photos of everyone kind of cheering, looked like it was small?? or was that just the photo? How did you do small? Did anyone get offended etc? Hope you're well xxoo

Alison - So glad to hear that miss amelia is feeling better! I know what you mean, drs say the teething/colds aren't related, but IMO they totally are! I hope she isn't like that for all her teeth, poor little possum :( Enjoy your pedicure today! How lovely! xxoo

Argh, GTG.
DH just got home for lunch, better pretend i've been cleaning, as opposed to bbing, hahah!
xxoo

yipee he's gone! hahaha!!

Okkay, where was I??

Bec - You are doing so well with your little business! I am totally loving the ones that I got. Kaili wore them out yesterday and got a couple of compliments from the old ladies shopping. She looked so darn cute, even if I do say so myself! Have you looked into organza bags? I think they would be super cute in them, for when people buy them as a gift especially!! You can get them dirt cheap too, from discount shops. Just a suggestion :) Glad to hear miss Ruby is feeling better too. Oo and how are the studies going? Super mum!

Mel - How's everthing going in your household!! I read your FB status too, about Aricyn playing guitar while Kelti danced, hahaha. Talk about super cute! And awesome that you got it on video! Normally when I pull the camera out, Kaili instantly notices and starts signing to impress me, or turns the lens around so she can see how beautiful she is :rolleyes: *sing* You're so vein... you probably think this song is about you.. hahaha. She is such a poser.. clearly takes after me :redface:

AFM - Not too much happening here. Wishing Theo would slow down. He is CONSTANTLY crawling after me, and climbing up my legs - starting to drive me insane! haha! I swear I'm not lying when I say he is starting to furniture walk, and occasionally lets go (but falls after about 1/2 seconds), and he can stand with his hip leaning against the couch, as he has both hands holding a toy giving it a good suck/explore. He is so different to Kaili.. I was reading her book the other night, she couldn't sit until she was 7 months, then crawled at 7.5. Annd thats about it really!

Hope you're all having a fabulous day, and love you all to pieces!
xxoo

Just quickly..

Heya Telly! Ah that's prob the pic of mine and Gary's family all together, that's the only cheering one... We actually had about 80 guests, but that was small compared to all the people we know.. We just had our family's (DH's is HUGE mine is tiny hehe) and close friends... Hard isn't it? We also had no children (except "non mobile" babies" as our reception venue had a massive flight of stairs and a big deck that dropped off into the water so wasn't safe for kiddies at all.. Wasn't really safe for drunk people either hahaha - I LOVED my dress as well! I have the big "it was fate" story with that dress! I found it only 5 weeks before my Wedding, was the last dress I tried on in a store I wasn't go to go to as it was the end of a LONG day Wedding Dress shopping and I was just over it, my Bestie's talked me into just one more Bridal store in Queen Street Mall and there she was the first dress on the first mannequin as we walked in the door, Immediately we all said Oh. My. God. And were totally in love with the dress but my Besties and the Bridal Assistant made me try on 5 other dresses I liked first, this dress was a designer's custom one off only of, never to be made again, I put it on after trying on the others, walked out of the fitting room to show my friends and EVERYONE in the shop turned to stare at me, my Besties started crying, I looked in the mirror and just knew OMG this is the one! It was totally a movie moment!! Bought it on the spot, had it altered down a size and a half and got the button up back changed to the satin ribbon lace up, went to ONE fitting with my alterations lady, picked it back up the morning before my Wedding Day and it was just perfect! I love it! It's hagning in my wardrobe right now and I still love it just as much!!

OMG Theo is gorwing up sooooooooooo fast!! Can't believe how mobile he is!! Clever little guy! I am just as besotted with him as you arw ith Cruz. I think they have similar features! We've gotta meet one day girly!! Do you get to Brisvegas much? I never get to Mackay anymore, used to every month when I lived in Townsville! OMG you should totaly come to Brisbane Wedding Dress Shopping!! Prob have a much better chance of finding your dream dress here than MKY and then we can meet!!!!! I would so totally show you all the Bridal Stores!! Aaaah my selfish dreams hahaha

If you're on FB tonight, hit chat up, I sooo want to hear all about your ideas! I am a Wedding nut, love love love them!! Love love love you too hehehe
Wow that wasn't quick, I am in the midst of cooking dinner so will be back soon!

Hi to everyone else, will def catch up with you all when I am back!! xox

Hi girls
Sorry it's selfish but I've started bleeding again. It's like CM streaked with red at the moment. Hoping to see doc in about an hour cos taking brit cos she rolled her quad bike yesterday. She's ok, just hurt her legs. She couldn't even walk yesterday, it was awful. I'll let u know how we go xxxxx

Hey kymmy, try not to stress. You're so close to that 12 week mark, I can't imagine anything going wrong now.
I had bleeding like that a couple of times with both kaili and theo. With Kaili it happened at 16 weeks, with Theo it happened quite a few times, up until 15/16 weeks. :hug:
Is it still too early to find the HB on a doppler?? That'd be good if you could. They could never find my babies with the doppler until around 16 weeks, but i have a lot more cushion than you, hehe.
I hope Brit is okay... tough chicken she is.
hope all goes well xxoo

Kymmy - try not to worry. I've heard of lots of ladies getting a bit of bleeding when their period would have been due - and at 12 weeks - thats one of the times. Huge hugs for Brit - hope she is ok.

Telly - thanks :) I tried to upload it but facebook didn't like me trying! Go theo - eden sitting up but thats about it...lol...

Alicia - are you sure you want to meet up in August? I mean, I'd understand if you didn't want to - I feel like a bit of an outsider in this group because I didn't go through the belly buddy stage with everyone, so I know thats why I'm not as close to everyone. So if you don't want to - its cool :) We haven't set a date to come up yet, think we leave here on the 4th August though and staying till the following Sunday so we get two weekends up there. Well I think thats the plan - DH keeps changing his mind.

Currently typing with one hand cos eden is wriggling around in the other hand. I've made so many mistakes. tell you what, when you spend a lot of time as a secretary and then made to type with the one hand - you're really crap at it.. LOL

Better go, Kelti hasn't had a nap today so she's in a rotten mood. Luckily I've already cooked dinner this morning so I don't have to do anything but turn on the hot plates!

oh kymmy im sure you will be fine. sending great big sticky vibes x
hope brit is ok too, shes one tough cookie

my spotting turned into af. dammit. was hoping to be up the duff secretly. at least now i can plan an accident next month tee hee hee
