G - we have a little bit of growing pains here. She wakes up in teh middle of the night quite upset, saying her legs hurt. I tend to give them a rub and put a heat pack on them. Seems to help. Niece gets them quite bad and they give her Panadol when she's really upset from them.
Trill - good idea to give your brain a break. We're heading up to Canberra tomorrow. Bridesmaid dress shopping, clothes shopping for me, visit to Koko Black and a little party for Miss K while we are there. Back middle of next week, then my sister and mum are coming down for a couple of nights. Week off will go pretty quickly. So glad I've got tomorrow off, there was a late afternoon disaster and I just kept doing what I was doing and let my boss sort it out - by the time I get back it will be all resolved and buried somehow onsite.
School uniforms - ARRR!!!!
Ella - any news yet??
-
Arte - great news about W sleeping through!! i'm sure you would have bought him a nerf gun years ago if you knew it would do the trick!! never had a sore tail bone with the other two - hope i don't develop one after this birth!! this baby feels HUGE though - hope it's just in my head... i don't want to deal with all of the tearing that i had with DD - that was horrific!! as for wanting a puppy and ANOTHER baby - you need your head tested!!
MD - H sounds pretty sharp! i'm surprised they will let you see a copy of the test - thought they would be worried about covering their own backs!!
Trillian - my Wilton food colouring arrived!! i hope i am around for her b'day to make the cake myself - i'm pretty excited about it!! if not, i have left all the cake-making stuff in an obvious place for DH so there can be no confusion!!
Ginger - my DS (2yrs) has just discovered his "willy" in the last few weeks. he doesn't really play with it much (yet), but likes to talk about it a lot, and likes to comment on DHs when they're in the shower together!! ("Daddy you have BIG willy, me have little willy, mummy no have willy, Abi no have willy. Just me and daddy.") DH is getting a bit self-conscious about it and asked at what age he should stop showering with the kids and sleeping naked - i told him not to worry about it for a long time yet - i'm sure he's not mentally scarring them!!
the cubby sounds fantastic! is it a wooden one, or a plastic one? i was thinking of getting one (a wooden one) for our new house (eventually!), but i worry about it being a trap for redbacks... the kids would love it though, and if it kept lots of the mess outside i'm sure it would be worth it's weight in gold!! i want to see photos!
Cally - no news yet!!
AFM - i am still waiting... waiting... my nephew asked my sister today if my baby "had fallen out yet" - i really wish that's the way it happened - i stood up from the computer desk and whoosh, out fell the baby!! i have now tipped the 80kg mark on the scales (60kgs pre-pregnancy), and have a new set of stretch marks appearing on my already stretch-mark ridden torso... this baby better be cute to make up for it!! and sleep... yeah right...
-
LOL Ella! If only it were that easy! I'm sure whatever size this baby is that you will birth just beautifully!
Cally, where is Koko Black? We brought some back for MIL (and me ;) ) when we went to Melb, and I'd love to get some more. Sounds like you will need a holiday to get over your holiday!
G, I thought of something else that could be the culprit too - worms! If they have worms that can make their sleep crappy too. If you haven't wormed him for a while it might be an idea to do it. They can pick up worms so easy so its possible he has them.
-
hi girls
i gave L some panadol before bed last night and he slept through so i think it might be some sort of pain.
trill- thanks for the tip about worms. do i just get something from the chemist?
oz- i havent noticed that about the foreskin but i'll have to have a look. maybe that he is why he is so obsessed with it lately?
i will definitely take lots of pics of the cubby once it is up and running (might take a while seeing as my dh is putting it together) lol. it is really cute- has a green colour bond roof with a skylight, a little letterbox and cute little planter boxes at the front which i will put flowers into. so excited for the boys!
-
Trill, Cass and I have shared a very sweet half hour together in Koko Black in Canberra! You'll have to go there just to uphold the Sept mummies tradition LOL. I couldn't describe how to get there though, I think it's on the outside of the new curvy bit of the Canberra centre (?) I had the most psychadelic time driving around while I was there because I could only remember bits of where I was supposed to be going but I couldn't make the connections. Did a few u-turns and extra trips around the block LOL. Yay for giving your brain a rest!
Ginger I was going to mention the worms too, because that was causing E a lot of nighttime discomfort for a while, I wormed her and that fixed it within 24 hours. They sell syrup and chewable medications over the counter. I don't think it matters which brand you buy, but you might want to worm everyone else in the family and kitkat at the same time.
Ella, wouldn't it be great if you could just open the floodgates like that?! Whoosh! And I'm sure your baby will be sooper dooperly cute to make up for the long wait and the extra silveries. xxx
Oz I can't believe our babies are four either?! It's gone so fast!!!
-
Trill - Koko Black is underneath the Dendy Cinema at the Canberra Centre.
Bridesmaid dress shopping done - we are going with charcoal grey (looks good on all our colourings) in three different styles which will be tied together with a fabric rose. My first strapless dress!
-
cally- the bridesmaid dresses sound lovely.
no i can't believe they are all 4 too!!!! he is still my baby.
thanks for the tips about worms. i will def get onto it this week. we have just deflead, wormed and given ringworm tablets to kitkat so she should be fine!
L is sick again. turns out he's got a virus and ear infection so he's on ABs. hopefully he feels better today as we are supposed to be going to the huge brand spanking new ikea store tomorrow.
-
where's the new ikea????
MD: that is awesome about Hs Naplan...her bombing out sounds so similar to what happened to me at a similar age, hopefully she can pull her bootstraps up (am sure she will!) :hug:
Ella: hope that you are holding up ok, OR holding a baby :lol:
JM: hope you are doing well back home...in the warmth....arghhh! i want warm weather!
G: we must have pics of the cubby!
Trill: mmmm koko black! and yes, it was the place of a september reunion of chocolate love for MD and I :rofl:
AFM: feeling heaps better :dance: i am so so happy! am on the waiting list for the TCM though, which is a bummer but i have heard the wait it worth it for Vlado the Bulgarian chinese medicine man hahahahaha!
I too cannot believe that L is 4...time is really flying along...and then i look at marta that is on the verge of walking and my whole world starts spinning! can't believe it!
-
new ikea is in spring vale and i think it might be the biggest one in the world or something ridiculous like that?
-
i've got a new nephew! born today 9lbs7oz :) yah, going to see him tomorrow morning. i can't believe I'm an aunty!!!
-
-
Congrats G - you will be the BEST aunty ever!! and so great for the boys to have a cousin too! YAY!
I am back from Hawaii (best trip ever, will pop back later to telll you more) and back at work! Had N's party yest (45 kids!!) - was amazing, he loved it and it went so well so i am thrilled.
Anyway, all crazy here - have missed you all.
Will come back soon for more updates and personals.

-
spooky! i was just thinking of you MP and wondering if you were back from the holiday of a lifetime!!!
G: congratulations on the newest arrival to your family!!! Aunty! i am jealous...something i will never be!
-
Congratulations Ginger, so glad everything went well :)
MP - Wow you are amazing, jetting back from Hawaii (and I know that is a long flight have checked that one out!!) and having a huge bday party! Organised hehe
-
wow 45 kids!!! that is a massive party! LOL
my little nephew is soooo cute. he is really stocky and compact with the fattest cheeks ever. sooooooo clucky!!!!
-
Congratulations Aunty G - how exciting, he sounds so gorgeous. I know it seems like he's so little now but in no time he will be in the thick of things with his cousins!
MP - wonder woman flies again! LOL I'm exhausted at the thought of having just 12 kids here on the weekend LOL. Mind you there's no way we could squeeze 45 people in here...we max out around the 25 mark.
Cass how are you feeling, still on the mend?
Arte, how is the Divine Miss E this week?
Well I'm going to get in early and say a very happy birthday to Sarah and Maddie for tomorrow!! :birthday2:
-
MP - 45 kids - are you out of your mind?! Abi is having her party at a local park (to keep the mess out of my house!) this Sun, and we've only invited immediate family (my and DH's parents, siblings and their kids). That makes 9 kids under 5 and 16 adults - plenty enough for me!!
ginger - sounds like you're lining up for a third baby - do it!!
Cass - i hope Vlado the Bulgarian Chinese medicine man is better than the Scottish Chinese medicine man that i am seeing at the moment for induction accupuncture - hasn't seemed to do me any good yet has it?!
cally - the bridesmaid dress sounds great, although i can't believe it is your first strapless number - i love a good strapless dress!!
Afm - fed up. I expected to go overdue again, but given this is #3 i was hoping it woukdn't be by more than a week... Have an ultrasound tomorrow (my first since 20wks) to check everything is OK, followed by an Ob appt. He is going on holidays for a month on fri so if i don't pop by then i will get his partner who i have never met...
-
Ella: oh you must be a bit fretful with the prospect of possibly a new, unknown OB :hug: hope that the scan goes well and there isnt too much pressure xx I know that it is the cruelest thing to say from this end, but it won't be too much longer....i know i know...tell that to the hips/ribs/ankles/stretched guts lol...
MP: 45 kids. i passed out just reading it hahahaha.
we are having the girls' party this weekend. had to postpone thanks to all that illness that overtook the house; but now i am really excited and can't wait! Marta's naming ceremony is being incorporated and it looks to be alot of fun!
MD: we are definitely recovering :dance: it is just joyful! i don't want to be sick again...here's to Vlado fixing me up good hahahaha.
G: *mwah* i would be soooo clucky too! i saw a chick at birthday party on the weekend that was due that day and her big gorgeous phat belly just sent me into romantic rose coloured glasses cluckiness....i am incorrigible lol.
AFM: well i am hoping that leila is going through a growing phase as she is still sleeping this morning! 7.30am is a rare occurence in this house! she even did a big afternoon nap yesterday which is just unheard of. she seems happy in herself, so i am putting it down to growing...which she has evidently done as i bought a pair of (gorgeous!) shoes for her online from tiny threads (BIG sale) and i got them in a size bigger than her one now...and the little blighter has grown so much in the last 1.5 weeks that she doesnt fit them!!!!!!! i am bummed!!
