Great to hear about the dress Mel, hope you'll be having some pics uploaded onto FB for us to have a gander at!!!! Hope it's good news on the job!!!
Kel - you're sounding a lot better!
DG - the monteressi system sounds interesting
Us - we're 17 weeks now, have been feeling bub move and getting some BHs I think. Pip has settled somewhat, although now my Dad's visiting so he's getting lots of attention. Dad's also enforcing a bit of discipline which is good - he's got a style similar to me (wonder why?) and opposite to DH. His language is really coming on now, although I think he's watching too much teev. Trev has almost got Pip's room to a state where I can hopefully undercoat it soon, it's just waiting on architraves and cornices. I've been checking out the designs for murals on Giggle & Smile and will get Pip to choose one.
Wow Kaz- I didnt realise you were that far along. I remember when you were having your 12 week scan and it feels like yesterday! If I look nice tomorrow!!! I might just up load some pics. I havent had a chance to get my hair cut so it will just be down.... oh well!
Mel the girls are doing ok on holidays. Its a bit cold so we have spent loads of time inside and I have been really tired lately so they havent done a lot... I try and not have have the tv on all day. We get out when we can, I just rug em up! And we have play dough and do cooking and stuff! Montisorri does sound great though and if we could afford to do it we would. Hopefully dh gets his job he applied for then it would be a possibility.
Kel- I love ebay. I am a tight arse! Dont like to spend dollars on something I wont wear often! So maternity clothes are up there with me! I also get the girls play clothes off ebay too. You sound like youre doing ok with the social activities. Dont put high expectations on yourself to get to know people straight away. Just go to play group regularly and people will recognise you. It is a small town, so it may take a while to break into the circle! How would I know anyway!!!! You'll do fine! Hope the winging isnt driving you batty! I saw one of your comments on fb! Poor lovey! Its happening here too... some days are better than otheres! Liv... stop pushing bec, liv, get out of the fridge, liv put that down, liv...... and now its bec too!
Wedding tomorrow! I got the girls some matching pinafores and skivvies! Liv has pink (of course!) and Becc has purple. Olivia wants her and her sister to wear black leggins, so now to find sock and they can wear their crocks! I went to their wardrobes and realised that I dress them like me... trackies and jumpers. Only dresses I have are summer ones and its freezing! Hope to get some nice pics of them and I will pop them on fb too!
Hi ladies... just thought I would post and say hi!!! Its been busy here in my world with Olivias fabulous tantrums at dinner time and telling people she doesnt like them and wants them to go home!!! Shes ok so far today, we are snuggling watching ice age 3 again.
Had to put Becca in a toddler bed after she attempted a cot escape... Last night was horrible getting her to sleep but she slept in there from 845 til 530, then came to bed with us til about 730. Was weird hearing her stomp out saying where mama! She managed to have her day sleep without issues... but she was tired from last night.. I hope that its a relatively easy transition!
baby in my tummy is kicking alot. My belly is big. Most of you saw my fb shots of my red dress. It was a little big but didnt have time to take it in around the top half! I had to wear a cammi under it co\z it was so low. I had a great night at the wedding although all that dancing hurt my legs the next day!!!
Hi girls, just a quick one to keep the thread up the top...
Been feeling off the past couple of days. Indigestion is back after I had that sundae at the movies! You'd think it wouldn't be able to last two days straight, but it has!
Ben has been asking how the baby will come out and how it got in there. Geez! I thought I'd have a few years before I got those sort of questions! Age appropriate, truthful answers seem to have satisfied him for now but I don't think it's over....
Mel, the dress looked great!
Okay, gotta dash, DH is at the footy and I have the two monsters on my own again....
I'm around, just trying not to be online too much, lol. I find that I get really grumpy if I'm on the net too much, not to mention my house ends up like a bomb site and the kids feral, well, more feral than usual! Plus the net has been down for a few days for some reason...
Well, we are all good, though ask me in a few days time and I will probably be going bananas. Damien is going to goulburn for training for four days tomorrow. SOOO not looking forward to it. I'm not handling being on my onw well lately, and especially at night. I think it's just that I don't have a safety net of friends or family around and I'm so scared if something goes wrong. I'm up **** creek if it did...but aaannnyway! I'm trying to be positive about it. I know it's likely it will all be ok, but hey, I'm pregnant and have a vivid imagination, lol!
Pregnancy is going well. I think I am feeling baby move already, or it could just be my vivid imagination, lol! But I'm no longer sick or really tired, though I am still going to bed early, just not falling asleep in the arvo witht he kids anymore, lol! But Liam is still waking a few times every night, and Lily will wake some nights with dreams too, so still no full nights sleep here! I'm hoping baby will be a good sleeper....
Dis, sorry your still feeling yuck, it is the most horrible feeling in the world, to feel so ****ty, but know that you're not really sick, like with an illness. LOL, at Ben! He's a curious boy!! Lily has no idea about the baby actually being inside me I don't think, it's a bit abstract for her yet, but she is rather obsessed with how fat I am getting!
Mel, you did look gorgeous in your dress! I had my mum buy me some clothes so I'm hoping they fit me, I should get them in the post soon. I am getting a bit desperate!
How is Becca in her new bed? I have Liam on a mattress on the floor because he keeps falling off it, and his bed is quite high, so I just put the mattress on the floor, lol! Poor kid...
Ok gotta go do dinner, Hi to Kris, Kaz and Jen.....hope I haven't forgotten anyone... but hi again just in case!
Hey... I shouold take a leaf out of your book kel and limit my net time! I usually dont go on at night anymore, just so I can have some quiet time. DH has quit SES to spend more time at home and its been wonderful! Still waiting to hear about the job too. Rebecca is doing well in her bed so far. Shes so much easier than Olivia! Liv is still waking most nights for toilet/dreams, so its very rare for me to get a straight sleep. I got a nanna nap today so feel better.
Mel- hope things settle for you. Mylanta doublestrength is great! I have a bottle in the fridge. LOL about Ben and his curiosity. I told Liv that the baby was coming out of my vagina and she flat out said no... out of your tummy! She watched her birth dvd... no gory details but she saw that it was sore! (contractions) I just reassured her a bit!
Kel- hope youre coping well with Damien away. Also hope your mum got you some nice stuff to wear.
Better go... DH is cooking on the bbq and I am doing vegies....
Mel, that dress was gorgeous, can't believe you danced!!!! Yay on lots of movement and hoping Becca's OK in her toddler bed ...
DG - I've discovered mylanta effervescent tabs, they taste OK and seem to work. Alongside with berry quickeze chewys!!!!
Kel - yay on clothes from your mum, how are you settling in, are you getting to know any of the ladies / families in the area yet?
Well I don't know about your munchkins, but Pip's language skills have improved almost out of sight in the past 2-3 weeks. Not sure why, we haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary. So cute though, we're singing songs each night before bed, he was trying to get me to sing a tractor song tonight????
If I've any cravings, it's for ice-cream cones. Bowl of ice-cream is OK, but I just NEED cones!!!!
Hope everyone's doing OK, looked like Kris was doing a huge clean-out today, I can't believe the energy she has!
