Hi Everyone!
Well I survived the party on the weekend even though we got rained out and had to have it at home. The house hasn't recovered yet and I am still finding presents everywhere. Thankfully it's only once a year!! The girls had a ball though.
Miss J has been a bit cranky at night recently and waking up screaming. I looked in her mouth and can see what looks like the start of a molar bulging against the gum - oh joy! I guess once the molars are through we are on the home stretch but they are just awful when they are coming :( Poor little monkey.
Holly - when there were 3 of us I spent $150 a week on food (I'm also veg so no meat included there) and now I spend $180 a week - the girls are eating machines!
Ali - :hug: on the weaning. I'm glad you got to enjoy your last BF. When DD1 stopped she was sick so she just stopped one day and never went back which I hadn't expected. I hope I get to enjoy Miss J like you did with A.
OP - congrats on your nephew! And well done on surviving the party - LOL at you sister turning up - show off ;) I think on Friday we will just go to Taco Bill for dinner. Miss J doesn't know it's her birthday so we will just go straight from CC to dinner with some of her playgroup buddies.
Det - I hope Boof is on the mend!
Malyna - has Alex taken more steps? I don't think we will have a walker on her birthday - she is still cruising the furniture!
Meg - Wow on Emilia! She will probably be walking for her birthday too! You must have been tired to fall asleep with the kids on you!
Ellie - I hope you get some decent sleep soon! I'm not sure what that would be about but it sounds very tiring.
-
Nai- just noticed on your sig all the weight you've lost. Thats heaps! Good on you! I've been trying eat better and exercise for last month just to tone up, think there some improvement.
The cakes from the party looked great, seemed like fun day!
Ellie- thats sounds exhausting, what happens if you don't go in? Does she get worked up?
Meg- how are you feeling? E sounds just like Em with the walking business.
malyna- yay on 8 steps! How is your ankle?
OP- wow 82 ppl! I was thinking if we have 20 that gonna be way too many!
Holly- we spend roughly $200 fortnight on actual groceries then meat and vegies not sure cause Df goes buys them. How L doing?
Ali- how you feeling with the whole weaning? can be hard at first.
Who else is finding this age quite hard? Lately i just think I can never get anything done or barely even be able to eat when Emily is up, she is either wanting to climb on and off me, getting into everything and anything or screeching bout something!
Forgot to strap her in the highchair this morn, turnned around to make her toast and next sec she climbed out and sitting up on the tray!

Hi guys I've been reading but not posting....
We have had some terrible news FIL had a heart attack this morning...I'm praying he will be ok.
L's birthday on Thursday too and we are having a party and naming day on Saturday that I still have heaps to do.
Anyhow will be back soon. Hi to everyone....
Love me
-
oh no pinny :hug: hope FIL is ok
-
Oh no Pinny that's terrible - I hope he recovers quickly!! :hug:
Olive - don't feel bad for doing a selfish post, the rest of us seem to to do it much more frequently than you :D Hope you and DH continue to be productive with him at home! Have a great day on Sunday!!!
Shell - know what you mean, Isabel gets really whingey when she wants to be picked up/put down/whatever! I think for us it'll be a lot easier when she's walking... famous last words perhaps??? ;)
Nai - I'm another who has been watching your weight loss, you go girl!! :clap: Bummer about the party being rained out but at least it is over for another year :)
Ellie - if it makes you feel any better we're getting a similar thing with my DD - this morning it was 2am, just woke up crying and carrying on. Sometimes going in helps, sometimes not. Sometimes a drink helps, sometimes not. Who knows what is going on? All I know is I am exhausted too!!!!
Megie - how's the cold? Poor thing getting it right before the birthday. Hope its clearing up...
Malyna - love the avvie, its awesome! You were right, its not the typical one but its beautiful! How's A going with his walking???
AFU: as I said above DD woke this morning at about 2am and cried on and off until about 3.45am. Then my alarm went off at 5.45am. Sigh! Eyes needing toothpicks today. Not good! Going to work from home tomorrow to try and at least get a bit of a sleep in. Don't know what the matter was - I gave her a drink, held her, changed nappy... she just seemed miserable. Poor pet. Gave her some panadol about 3.30 and held her until she was asleep. So tired!!!!
Enjoying lots of newborn cuddles with my nephew - he seems so tiny, so hard to believe DD was ever that small. She was actually smaller! Also so hard to believe that'll be me again soon enough. Where has the time gone????

Nai - yep Alex is free walking in a few steps ehre and there
Pinny - everythign crossed for your FIL
oops gotta go and check the other posts
OP - I wish I knew where the time has gone. Woosh!
Happy birthday Millie and Lewis and Isobel.
AFU - Wondering why it took me 5 seconds to get the flyscreens off the window and fifteen minutes to get them back on?
-
I have come in to wish the birthday kiddies an absolutely wonderful day!
And congrats to all you mummies for surviving the first year
-
Happy Birthday to Lewis, Isabel and Millie!! Hope they all had a fantastic day, although I'm sure they were oblivious!
Malyna, I gave up trying to put the fly screens up a few days ago lol. Someone else managed to though because they are up now. I think it's difficult getting the pins into the holes at the same time especially if it's a big window (which ours is). Mum just had the look of the windows changed...they used to be 4 smaller rectangular panes but now just one big one.
Olive, woohoo on the sleep through! Has there been a repeat?
Pinny, so sorry to here about FIL. Hope he'll be okay.
Shell, saw on FB that DD1 had a great day today. Must be a relief to you! Did you enjoy the peace?
Lilima, how are you feeling??
Ellie, hope DD stops the waking at 2am thing. You're doing amazing to be managing the sleep deprivation and pregnancy!
OP, hope DD is feeling better, especially considering it's her special day. How lovely are those newborn cuddles! You'll be there again very soon :)
Hi to everyone else!
Thanks Nai and Shell for your replies about groceries. I am trying to get super organised and doing a meal plan. At the moment, lunch and dinner is always up in the air and left to the last minute. Anyway, I went onto Colesonline and did a mock shop of what we'd (DS, DP & I) need for one week and it reached about $140 and that's just for food, not toiletries or cleaning products or anything else (however that included free range organic eggs...didn't realise how much they were!) I was a bit shocked :redface: We are moving into our own place in April and it just made me realise how much money we will have to dedicate to groceries! Right now we just pay board/rent to my mum as a regular direct debit thing and she sorts out the standard groceries (although, if we want something in particular we'll go and buy it ourselves). Anyway, at least I'm prepared now...
On topic...did I mention that L had been sick? He had a horrible fever followed by roseola and meanwhile teeth # 7 & 8 have cut through. Poor bub. He is a lot better now thankfully. I'm glad it's all out of the way before his birthday next week.
Tomorrow I'm calling iSelect and getting some health insurance!
Goodnight all xox

thanks for all the birthday wishes!! m had agreat day!! shes almost officially walking :o scary!

Pinny's FIL is recovering well too!
-
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes for Mr Lewis!!!
Happy Birthday to Millie and Isobel.
Lewis had a lovely day.
My FIL is recovering well as Jols mentioned, he had amassive heart attack on tuesday whilst in hospital so we are very lucky to have him with us. We went to visit today so he could see his baby grandson for his birthday, I think it made his day.
Will try to get back on tomorrow if not Happy Birthday Juliette, hope she has a wonderful day!!
Also this time last year I was getting ready to birth L into this world He was born at 11.34pm !!!
