I've been missing again and have now found a whole new thread! LOL!
A big hi to everyone! I can't even begin to catch up...sorry !
We're all good here - boys are all better!
I'm pretty sure I'm the same weight (if I haven't put it on after eating all day today!!) although I did manage 1 trip to the gym and 3 x on the treadmill this week!!! Just got to cut down my food intake and junk intake! LOL!
Kaz - Had a great arvo today catching up! Was very nice sharing a glass of wine with you and having a good gasbag!! I promise I'll bring your chefs toolbox stuff up as soon as I get it!!!!!!! Patrick was so cute playing so well - he's such a gorgeous little boy!!
Oh and we got rid of Dylans dummy! He seemed to be getting bucked teeth a little bit so we thought we'd just get rid of it - he's coped really well - but it might have something to do with the fact that we've replaced him with a woody doll from Toy Story - he even sleeps with him but it means no tears at bedtime so we're all good!!! So we're not a dummy free household!! Woohoo!
Ethan's getting into everything!!! Crawling around and cruising along furniture - little monkey!!!
Louis is good also - spending heaps of time on the computer typing, sounding out words and spelling...such a smart little boy!!!
These boys keep me on my toes that's for sure!!
Hi ladies....
Wow what a gorgeous week of weather here so far! I mowed this morning (just the front lawn but DH will be cranky i did it) and tried to entertain Beau with gardening but he has a massive ulcer on his tounge and is generally bloody miserable (as it makes me!) He is asleep now but just stirred as the bonehead new nieghbour is making such a freaking racket! Still waiting for the full results on the amnio, should be tomorrow. Not having many movements with the new bub yet, a few twinges - cant remember when I was feeling Beau move? I am sure it will be soon, am sick of sleeping on my side already though!
Mel - Hope you are having a great day today with DH, glad the party went well and you planned it well so you didnt have to do any cooking! Smart girl! Poor Olivia with her nightmares, the NIght Garden is pretty freaky! Beau likes tellie tubbies at the moment and I think they are worse!
Kel - Oh I hope Liam is feeling a bit better, could be a temp and runny nose from teething, Beau always got the flu when he was getting teeth. You are so funny getting that book to work DH out, is it a "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" type? I dont blame you hating soccer, I know they need their time out and all that but why is it always an all day sporting affair? It would annoy me too, I was glad DH's indoor cricket team were a bunch of gumbys and didnt make the final either!
Dis - Mmmm very interesting!!! When is AF due? I hope you arent for your trip in May but if you are !!!!!!! Wow at Jared and his big sleep, too bad Ben was up for some of it! Yes, I think its too early for nagging too! Although I say to Beau every day "what do you want to do today?" and every day he says "playgroup"! I hate it when its school holidays cause its impossible to explain why we cant go!
Kris - Congrats on getting rid of the dummies! Woo hoo! Pack em up! Love your new profile pic on Facebook, your boys are so beautiful and its such a great shot! Glad you are all well and busy as usual
Ok, better go while B is still down, have washed windows, covered ottomans, mowed and cleaned this morning but still have the spare bed covered in clothes to go!
Jen - Wow you are making me feel weary just reading about all that you've done today!! I'm such a lazy bones at the moment!! Hope you feel bubs soon - it's so much fun!!
Well, would you believe Louis is sick again!!!! Just a little cold...
We're all good...not much happening at the moment...
I'm already excited because we're planning a holiday to QLD next year! I know, I know - it's ages away but we haven't been on a big holiday with the kids yet and Michael and I have only been interstate twice so it's kind of a big deal for us...although working out the finer details it looks like we'll be driving up!! To pay for all of us with airfares + car hire I think will just be far too expensive!
I am so exhaused from yesterday. We had such a great day. DH had noidea what was planned. I made him look at the concrete as we walked into the dive shop and I told him to look up and I said...we're her for the shark dive...well he was so excited and he loved the dive, as did I. He got to sit right net to some massive rays and a few sharks went over his head. He will put some up on face book soon. We met up with his brothers their wives and kids at crown for lunch. They took the arvo off to come watch. After the dive we looked around and then went back to the casino and had dinner. Walked around a bit more then went to my mums to pick up the girls. It was such a long day but well worth every second.
Now its all over I can get back on my fitness regime. I havent weighed myself this week. I feel pretty good but dont think I have lost much at all. Possibly due to the party on Saturday and last nights tim tam cake with cream and ice cream (shared of course).
Girls are doing well...but i have just noticed that Olivia has stripped again. She did that at the party the other night...so funny. She loves being nude! Now shes telling her dollies something about little willy!!! GOSH shes a funny girl!
Ok, enough from me.
Jen good luck with your final results....any names?
Mel- are you going to test if af doesnt arrive soon?
Kris; hope Louis picks up soon. Well done on the dummies.
Mel - Sounds like you guys had an amazing day!!! That's fantastic!! Can't wait to see the pictures! You've got good reasons for not losing too much weight this week! Jump back onto it and you'll be fine!!
Olivia sounds just gorgeous!!
Louis seems to just have a sniffle so thats good...doesn't seem to be bothering him at all other than a runny nose so I'm not sure whether to send him to kinder today...I really don't want him to miss it but I'll feel bad if others get sick because of him...
Dylans doing really well without his dummy - still waking up once overnight so I think it's a bit of reassurance to be honest...and often a drink of water...
Ethan is just super gorgeous - he slept through again last night (2 nights in a row!) so he's only been having 3 milk feeds a day...he's eating heaps though so hopefully he's gaining weight ok! He's such a funny little boy, gives us kisses now and has just learnt to ta things back and forth...he's really starting to make all sorts of different sounds which is so cute!
Hmm....any more of my children behaving well and I'll probably get clucky again! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I think dh would have a heart attack!!) I must say though...as much as we've decided no more I am struggling to think that this is all it...I guess it's just a transition out being in a baby mindset I suppose...? and also perhaps a bit of hesitancy moving forward onto the next stage of my life...
Hmmm...as you can probably tell I'm thinking way to hard about it all at the moment!! LOL!
Hi All,
Kris - If anyone can handle another one it would be you hon! Sorry Louis has the sniffles but all the boys sound like they are doing well and you are getting a bit more rest at night time, prob why you are clucky again, you cant remember a "no baby wake up" sleep! LOL!
Mel- So glad the dive and your day went really well, you are a really good secret keeper, I am rubbish at it and would have told DH the hour after I booked it! Too cute with Olivia stripping off all the time, how hilarious! She must'nt feel the cold
Me- I am having a really down day today, Beau has been such a whinger this week and we went on the bus to the shops to get a few things (which I do every few days) and there is an old man there at the bus stop sometimes and he said to me "You do the same thing every day" and I said "Every few days!" and turned around and burst into tears. I think it struck a chord with me. I feel like I had this really great interesting job and lived in a fast paced area in the city and now we moved here and all I do is keep a kid happy all day....and the area is pretty grotty really and I feel a bit like I rushed into the decision to move because we would be near the water, but you cant be in the water all day IYKWIM? And financially, "I" dont feel any better off, I still never have any cash to buy anytihng and scrape together coins for a coffee which I did in the city! Oh sorry for the rant, just having a waffle! Best go before I jibber on anymore, girls from playgroup coming round here tomorrow so I have house work to do.

Jen - Sorry to hear your feeling a bit down...Remember you've got lots of hormones floating around at the moment so probably aren't feeling your normal self either... I know it doesn't feel like your doing much but really you're doing the most important job on earth! Remember it's all only temporary...in the blink of an eye the kids will be a bit older and you'll have a chance to go and do something for yourself career wise...? Hope you pick up soon - I'm sure you will!!!
I think you're right Jen - things are starting to settle down with Ethan and he's sleeping better and I'm someone that usually then has to find something to "stress" me out again...LOL! I just have to learn to relax and that it's actually ok to have things under control - LOL!!!
I'll get over it...I think there are so many things I've put off until "after kids" and now I'm at that point I have to start getting my stuff together! Will just be a bit of a process I think!
I must say it doesn't help being in the middle of winter - I'm so not a winter person - bring on summer I say!!
Wow at Jared and his big sleep, too bad Ben was up for some of it! Yes, I think its too early for nagging too! Although I say to Beau every day "what do you want to do today?" and every day he says "playgroup"! I hate it when its school holidays cause its impossible to explain why we cant go!
