Malyna- 3 hours woohoo! Maybe its turning a corner with these longer sleeps. How did he go last night? I'm hoping the sleep promotes sleep is true and hopefully you've had a great night. With his weight do you have to get him weighed so often? Does he seem happy that hes not going hungry or anything? Just thinking along the lines of avoiding stress over it.
Olive- you sound slack like me, I've texted ppl bout Emilys party and thats it! I think poor Emily, when Ash was turning 1 I made beautiful invites on microsoft publisher and made it big event.
Det- no not heard of them but sounds good if they have parenting styles like yours. Maybe google them see if any near your area.
OP- congrats on being an aunt, I saw the pics on FB, he is so cute! How is the cake making going?
Nai- that sucks working on their birthdays. I guess lucky in my job can roster my shifts around birthdays, means I never work on my own either!
Holly- how is L doing? Has the temp settled?
Emily bit off, grizzlier more than usual and woke crying 3 times last night, dont know if tooth on the way or coming down with something. Time will tell.
Shell - I dont' hve to get him weighed so often.. I think it's just the way the MCHN is keeping track of me. I've had a few really high scores on that depression test they give (my last one was 20/30 and they consider anything above 10 high).. gotta go bubs is unsettled.
Ahh well shes clever mchn, nicely doing it in kind of subtle way.
Hi girls,
Such an exciting time in our group with all the babies and families celebrating their 1st birthdays.
RainbowRaver- A big Happy Birthday to Bella :birthday2:
Nai- The photos of the party are beautiful. Looks like a fun day by all. J looks so grown up and like she knows its hers and her big sisters day! Just adorable! I am going to have to work on DD's birthday as well. Its a CC day and my work day so not much I can do. A bit sad about it :(
Malyna- Awesome nap by A! I looked at your stats. DD had a period the same as A where she didnt put on any weight. Maybe 10grams. i just figured that she was doing more things and she was happy and eating and drinking. I wasnt going to the mchn though so no one really told me if it was good or bad. She has picked up again though and is doing fine. thats exciting that he took some steps. Sound like he would love Kinder gymnastics.
Shell- Hope you have a better night tonight with E.
Olive- We had a day this week where DD wouldnt go down until later for her first nap of the day (like 12:00) so she only one day nap and she was not ready to cut down to one sleep either. Hope all the party organising this week goes well. At least DH is there to give you a hand and make sure he does! ;)
Det- Is boof better? Vomiting is nasty and they are so helpless. :hug:
OP-Hope the party goes well tomorrow. Make sure you put some pics on FB. I bet it was funny holding him realising you will have one that small again very soon. Oh I miss those days that flew by so quickly!
Kailani- Annoying about mothers group time. makes it difficult for you. DD is in the toddler nappies now as well. Has been for a few weeks. Any more news on the house and furnishing it and everything?
Kaz- I hope you are having a nice time away, I cant remember if I said it earlier or not as I cant see far enough back but I am so sorry about your dog. I am sure it will be strange coming home to the house without her there :hug:
Heaven- the pics you have been putting on FB of DD are so gorgeous! You have quite a skill for photography and a good subject to photograph! :)
Pinny- How are you? havent seen you pop in for a while unless I have missed your post.
Ellie- Hope bubba number 2 is baking nicely and that you are well.
:redface: if I have forgotten anyone.
AFM- Lots going on. Many of you have seen my thread that DD is fully weaned now and we had our last bf today. So special and I am very proud of the two of us. DD is settling into CC better, she isnt really sleeping there though. Maybe an hour tops a day! I am struggling with work and my friend that I am job sharing is as well. We just have a really bad mix of kids in our class. they aren't all bad kids, they just dont mix well together. Not much we can do but just try and get through each week as best we can and make sure we get pick of the crop next year! I also have the flu and AF- great combo there! Not! We had our landlords here Thurs and Friday doing work on the storm damage and repairing other things that needed to be repaired in the house. Still more to do but at least no water is coming in the house.
Ali - :hug: Did Miss A wean herself?
AFU - I was gardening this afternoon and I stabbed myself with a sharp saw. I looked down and saw the blade in my ankle. I pulled it out and DH got a bandaid for me. I was trying to put a bandage on the wound, and I felt like I was going to faint - so I looked away, then had to look back again and this went on for five minutes. :rofl: DH had to put a large bandage on it, so I can't see it!! I know who will have to put the bandaids on Alex's wounds!
Malyna- DD weaned herself and has been over the last few months. I feel like I have been clutching to straws with it the last week and then she went two days without it so i just thought its time.
You poor thing with your finger. Ouch! :hug: I must admit I remember doing something like that when i was younger ad cutting flowers of a bush with scissors and actually cut through part of my finger, I didnt realise until I saw all the blood and then the pain set in and I freaked out. Hope you are okay. that is so sweet DH put a band aid on you!
Hi all,
L's had a temp for more than 48 hours now. It's mainly been around 39.5C degrees but has gotten to 40C and then down to 38C...Just when I think it's getting better it shoots back up again. He's asleep now and dosed up so hopefully tomorrow he will be better.
Ali, I had no idea DD was weaning! She seems all grown up now. How are you feeling about it? That sucks about your difficult class. You teachers do an amazing job! Don't know how I would remain sane...re the new house...we are moving in in April. Mil has told us not to buy any furniture yet as her partner is sending a lot of stuff down (he lives in QLD and has a furniture removal business). Apparently he has stuff like a fridge, washing machine, lounge suite...I dunno...but who has that much spare furniture lying around?! Good for us though as we really can't afford anything at the moment.
Malyna ouuchh! Hope it's not too sore!
Det how is boof today? Glad DD is finally fully recovered! And nope haven't heard of the playgroups either :dunno:
OP, wow you certainly are busy! Have a great day tomrrow!
Nai, happy birthday to your girlies! Saw the pics - very cute :) When L is better I think I'm going to try and do the one long afternoon sleep like DD2 does too. It worked really well for us...the one time he's done it! :lol:
Olive, you sound like me...all I've done about L's party is send out invites and planned (in my head!) what food I'm going to make/prepare. Mum's insisting we make the cake after the rude shock we got when we bought my 21st cake (they are so expensive...!) so great...there's another task (gotta do a trial one first). Gotta clean the house - I mean serious cleaning. Mum is renovating, the place is a bloody construction site, there's plaster stuck to the floors, drop sheets over furniture, dust on every exposed surface, debris everywhere and random house stuff/furniture has been moved around to wherever is out of the way of the tradies (the treadmill is in the hallway!). The kitchen is going to be ripped out next, so I'm just hoping the cabinetmaker starts after the party :o
Arghhh anyway, enough ranting and raving. Hi to everyone else. Random question... but those of you with just the one bub - do you reckon $150 a week on groceries for the 3 of you is expensive?? That doesn't include meat (I'm a vegetarian).
I just discovered a website with great baby/kids gifts. If any of you are stuck on what to get for upcoming birthdays seriously check it out. I am in love with the wooden toys! I can't choose what I want to get L, there's too many things!

Kailini - there are places where you can hire novelty birthday cake tins (I know there is a couple in the ACT) You sound pretty organised to me. I emailed everyone the invite for Alex's birthday.
Alex loves balls, so we got him one for his birthday, a hi5 dvd (coz he likes the colours and music), a spiderman little kids sofa, bag of blocks and something else but I can't remember.
DH bought a large lamington tin, and we(well he) is going to bake a large sponge and cut it into the shape of a one. We were going to hire a tin for $15 for two nights but DH has decided he wants to be creative and since he is the cook, I'm not complaining.
Happy birthday babies - can't believe a year ago I was waddling around wondering when bubs would arrive.
Hi ladies
As some of you have alreday seen on FB, my sister had her baby, finally!!!! Only two weeks over! The poor thing was so keen to get things moving once they arrived at induction day and then she gets to hosp at 7am and has to wait 3hrs just for an AROM!
Anyway little Mason finally arrived earthside at 5.53pm. He was pretty big - 4410g or 9lbs 11.5oz so she did well to birth with just gas, on the syntocinin drip with continual monitoring (she had wireless which helped a lot as she could walk around). She did tear, but not badly, just sort of in an awkward spot (internal) that hurt a bit to get repaired.
The MW said I was a great birth partner :D Woo!
So then we had our crazy Sunday with DD's birthday - counted last night and we had like 82 people for breakfast in the park! Didn't feel that hectic as we were outside and people came and went but gee it was crazy. We are not doing that again - from now on birthdays will be small!!!!
I'm totally wrecked!!
The cakes were awesome - I will post some pics soon, everyone loved them and they were almost completely devoured in about 15 mins post-cake cutting! So glad I made two!!!
My sister was discharged about 10.30am yesterday then lo and behold turns up at DD's party! Scene stealer - turning up with her day and a half old baby still wearing her hospital ID tag :lol: Just kidding of course - what a trooper, she said she didn't want to miss it! Bless her!
Will post this and try and do some catch ups... good way to pass the time at work ;)
Found this on old thread to help us remember.

Kailani, I saw on FB all the cooking you had done for L's birthday - you are very organised!! How is he, is he any better? Fever gone away? When is the party??
Ali - hope you are ok with the weaning! Sometimes I think it'd be easier if DD did wean... but I'm happy to keep going for as long as she wants it. How is she going at CC? I saw you'd posted some photos, I will check them out. With regards to her sleeping at CC, most of the mums in my MG who have their kids in CC said that to begin with they didn't sleep but then once they adjust they will start sleeping better.
Thanks for the comment on my nephew - I agree, he is a cutie :D Poor you with AF and the flu!! And stress about work too, not good. Hope you got some rest this weekend! Does the return of AF mean you're contemplating TTC any time soon? ;)
Shell - hope Em has settled down a little for you!
Det - how is Boof?? No more chucking I hope. I've got some info on some more playgroups, though you can go to your "hippy" one if you like :D
Nai/Olive - how were the parties over the weekend??? Can't believe our girls are almost one - what do you guys have planned for Thurs? Nai, I know you are working - so what's happening once you finish work? I'm not sure what to do - just dinner I guess. Might ask mum to make a cake but it might be a bit crazy in their house with the new bub and m dad...
Speaking of which, I should ring my mum for an update - dad's surgery started an hour ago.
Hi to everyone else, sorry for the lack for further personals, I can't see any further back!!
Thanks for the list shell!!!
Looking at it makes me realise how many have dropped off... :(
Oh well, to be expected I guess!
OP - wow you were busy -82 people!
shell - thanks for the list
Kaz - hun hope you get the parcel soon.
AFU - alex took 8 steps on his own across the lounge last night - I think he's going to free walk for his birthday!
Just seen my avatar - love it!! a turquoise dragon - just want I wanted!! Fly dragon away from here!! yipee!!
Hello all,
Just popping in for a min. Have a terrible head cold, and E's birthday party is this Saturday! I felt that bad that I actually fell asleep on the floor this arvo, with both kids jumping on me!!!
Just realised E's name is spelt wrong on on that list. It is "Emilia" not "Emelia"!!! Saying that - a friend had ababy on the weekend and called her "emelia Rose" -Doesn't she have good taste!!! :)
OP - Congrats on the arrival of your new little nephew.
Miss E is so close to walking. She just stands up in the middle of the lounge, but seems to cautious to take that first step. She has a trolly that she wheels around, and gets so upset when she gets to the wall as she can't turn it around. She stands there and howls!!!
Hoilly - is L better now?
OK no time for personals. Need to sit down. Desperate Housewives tonight. I hope I can stay awake long enough to watch it!
Lilima - you must have been tired to sleep on the floor being bounced on by two kids... Hope the cold clears up in time for the birthday party this weekend.
Aren't babies amazing - they are so clever.
Thanks for the list Shell...hard to believe it's a year already!
Reading but not alot of time for posting...just so damn tired and DH working all the time and feeling like a single mummy at the moment :(
Miss A is waking at 2am and every hour on the hour after that???? Has been going on for a few weeks now...I just have to pat her for a few minutes and she settles but man am I stuffed! I have no idea what is going on...I've tried more food, less food, more day sleeps, less day sleeps...I'm stumped!
