Was great to see all melb girls, such big group I don't think I really got to talk to everyone there!
Heaven- I got an e-mail once for some ad about man colds so so funny but close to the truth! Hope she's not getting sick, so many virus's who knows. Might just be in funny mood like Emily is at night.
Holly- Those feet/ hand impressions will be great to have, bet hes grown heaps even since having them done. I bought a do it yourself kit when I had Ash but so hard to do yourself.
Laura- Hope your babies are feeling better nothing worse than sick kids, esp having 2 sick ones.
Ali- Poor Ash and her cold, is she going ok at night? Does it bother her much?
you know now I've met a few of you when I read your posts now I can see you in my head saying it.
Glad you girls had a good time.
Ash is okay. I dont think it is bothering her too much but she is sneezing quite a bit and I can hear her breathing is a bit croaky as well.
I have some dimetapp infant drops but havent given her any yet.
Have had the best couple of days. Last night DP got home and completely surprised me with a gorgeous eternity ring. White gold with 8 diamonds on the band. It is stunning. He spent way way way too much money as I have seen this ring at the jewellers! We had a bottle of champagne in bed last night and after one glass I was out to it! LOL! Doesnt take much anymore! Need to get the ring resized as it is a little too small and am worried it will get stuck on my finger.
We are still the same here with sleep. Maybe I should just get used to it and like you said Shell, they will eventually get better.
Holly- so glad you got a couple of hours sleep out of Leon.
BBS
Oh wow Ali, the ring sounds gorgeous! I love white gold, thats what my engagement ring is.
What a great surprise, my Df wouldn't think to do anything like that. Even my engagement ring was cause I said to him that he was going to propose lets go shopping. lol.
Hi all!
Shell, I'm the same - when I read the posts now I can see faces in my head :D
Was great to meet you guys this morning! I confess, I was a little nervous but you were all lovely!
Ali - WOW, sounds stunning!! You are one lucky girl :D Hope Ash continues to improve...
Nai - Miss J was pretty well behaved today! She's a cutie :D She does look a little smaller than Isabel, it'll be interesting to see how she goes on Monday. Isabel is 7kg. But they are all lightweights compared to Boof LOL
SJ - gorgeous photo!!! Might try some nudie photos with DD, you have inspired me!
Holly, sounds like you got a good little sleep out of Mr L, well done! Here's hoping you get another one tonight. Can you take some pics of the impressions?
Laura, hope your two are ok hun :hug:
Hi to everyone else!
ali hold off on the dimatapp! its not recommended for under 2 yr olds!!
ohhhhhhlucky girl getting a ring!!!!!!! im pestering for an eternity ring from DH!!
glad you had a great birthday!!
was awesome meeting you lovely melbourne ladies today!!! had a great day, was buggered this arvo though!!
I'm holding off perstering for eternity ring cause I want my trip to gold coast next year and ticket to Britney concert!
I was in tears earlier from exhaustion, just hit me this evening how tired and worn out I am. I start to dread the nights cause I don't know whats in store. She is fine up til her 1:00-1:30 feed then is unsettled. Who knows why. Friday night Df might have to sleep with her and just bring her to me for feeds so I can get some sleep tho I prolly wouldn't sleep cause I'd be too busy listening out at her still.
Shell, that sounds like a good idea to get your DF to help you get some sleep.
OP, yeah Miss J always behaves when she's in company. She likes to show off ;)
SJ, that's a great pic!
Ali, woohoo on the ring. Good to see DP come through with the goods when it counts :D
Miss J sounds like Ash. She is sneezing and snuffling and not feeding properly - driving me crazy.
awww shell :hug: i too think its a great idea for DF to sleep with emily so you can get some sleep, you'll be surprised, probably once your asleep you wont hear her
Aww shell you poor thing... :hug:
My DH suggested he take DD down to Grandma and Grandpa's house (2 mins down the road) for the night because even if he slept right next to her, I'd still wake up first lol.
Maybe like AJP suggested once you're asleep you won't wake... you'd just have to make sure you went to sleep when she was nice and quiet!
AJP - I didn't get home til 5pm, I lunched with two friends til 2pm, then went wandering and Pumpkin Patch-ing with another friend til 3pm, then coffee with another friend til 4pm! I figure its a big effort getting into the city, might as well make the most of it!
Ali - wow!! the ring sounds wonderful.. sorry I missed your birthday.. hope u had a good one. I completely forgot about eternity rings - so outta the loop with that stuff - although I don't wear my wedding rings etc coz i don't like the feel of them on my fingers.. crazy I know.
How was the melbourne meet? (or have i forgotton something i read earlier on)... hang on what's my name again??
AFM - Pick me up off the floor, our pram arrived today!! I returned the loaner - they couldn't even give us the right colour!! and they had the nerve to say that the right colour would be hear next week - I've heard that since mid february!!
went to the mums and bubs session at the cinema - it was great! the movie sucked - The proposal, very much like 2 weeks notice but with Sandra B as the boss.
Got nothing to say about Alex - he's just doing what he always does - he slep through the movie on the boob and then had another 3-4hrs this afternoon/evening - I read so many books and watch so many movies, I won't know what to do when/if he gets out of this stage.. if I don't go with the flow, he doesn't sleep and then I get monster baby.
Jols- Thanks hun, Lucky I read the bottle first as well. I had it in the medicine cabinet as my sis got about 5 bottles of it as she is working on an advertising campaign for them. I have put Ashlyn sleeping on her side tonight as when she is on her back she seems to cough more. I have put her in roll bars. Thinking its going to be one of 'those' nights tonight. Poor little thing. How good was icecream tonight!!! ITs funny no matter how cold it is, I always still love yummy icecream.
Shell- Massive :hug: to you. I was there the other day and it is awful. Sleep deprivation to me was worse than being sick. :hug: How is the formula going? Is it helping her sleep longer at night? I hope DF helps out tonight. You need a break.
Nai- You poor thing. Your family has had a rough trot with colds and the swine and everything. Hope J gets better soon. Glad you had a good time at the meet up.
Tarkine- PMSL about the pram! Sorry! I just cant believe they could stuff it up AGAIN! You have to laugh to stop from going crazy at them. Thanks for the heads up on the movies. I was going to see it next wek but might pass and wait for something better. That is great that Alex just slept on the boobie for the movie.
OP- glad you had a good time wondering the cty and catching up with friends. I think the day goes so quickly when I am out and about.
Heaven- I missed the pic earlier. Gracie is sooooooooo beautiful. You do a great job taking photos of her. Hope you have had a good day.
Raver- It is hard when the kids are sick. Have you got anyone to help you out. Please know we are here for you.
Det- How has your wek been? Are your kids back at school this week? Hopefully things are getting back to normal for you. Well as normal as they can get ;)
:hello: to everyone else. I cant see back any further.
I was actually thinking, I bet we are the bb group who chat the most. Looking at what thread number we are up to and how quickly we go through threads def shows we are a chaty bunch (which is good).Jols I think you should ask kel to do a prize for the group who talks the most ;)
Hey girls
all good here
had a ball catching up with the melb girls today- so nice to now know you IRL ! I put the photos i took on my facebook and set the privacy so that only my friends can see them. So if you want to see them, you have to be my friend lol.
I havent tagged anyone, but feel free to tag youselves or i can do it for you- just wasnt sure if you guys wanted your real names or user names used!
Nothing to report here- actaully got to bed early last nite at 1am! WHOOT! and maybe even get there early tonite as well lol.
twins are all well again and levi- well he is just a legend - he has been a little spewy yesterday and today but had his vacc on tues so maybe that is why. Mind you he has probably had like 6 little spews in those 2 days- so really nothing but hey he usually doesnt waste a drop lol
other than that , life is its usal hectic pace, my family is driving me nuts (my parents this time) and all is good!
mwah to everyone
Hi girls, how is everyone today?
Ali, the ring sounds gorgeous you lucky thing! I have one in yellow gold. Eternity rings are beautiful!
Tarkine, lol at the pram JUST arriving. Craziness!
Shell, ikwym about dreading the nights. I think I have severe anxiety about the whole sleep thing too. :hug: I hope it gets better for both of us.
Heaven, hope both your "babies" are feeling better!
OP, yeah I'll take some pics of the impressions! Not sure what's up with the gallery on here but I'll try and I'll add them to facebook as well. Girls if you have fb, add me: Holly McBride :)
Hi to nai, det, ajp, kaz, mhami and everyone else!
AFM, going out for dinner soon. DP's brother is down from Sydney so we are having dinner with him and DP's mum. DP's brother and his wife are expecting another bubba too! Just found out today. They have one lil princess already who took a really long time to conceive and they've been trying for almost 2 years to get this one, so soo happy for them. Another cousin for L!
Anyway, back later xox
Hi all,
Sounds like the meet up went well!
Ali- What a wondeful DH, I would love a eternity ring!!! Might have to start hinting.
Holly- I know how you feel about dreading the nights, I was doing that for a while whilst my oldest DD was waking in the midddle of the night and crying, Lewis was about 5 weeks old and it really did my head in. We ended up sleeping in the lounge room on a camp mattress for 4 weeks so that when she woke she could see us from her bedroom, it was the only way to keep her in her room. Sounds silly and I'm a bit embrassed to admit it but that's what we did so I would feel better about he nights!! I suppose you just have to do what makes it less stressful
Tarkine- I gather you've had your pram on order for a very long time if they lent you a pram!!!
Nai- Hope the snuffles pass quickly
OP- Sounds like you had a great afternnon, nothing like a bit of retail therapy and coffees with friends
Shell- Hopw you get some sleep tonight!! Have a glass wine might help you sleep;)
Hi to everyone else!!
Lewis had his immunisations yesterday afteroon, a bit grumpy today and keeps pouting his lips, so cute but so sad. He had a great sleep overnight but I do really think it's from the immunisations. We spent the afternoon out in the garden was lovely to get some fresh air.
Pinny-mum, don't be embarrassed - I sleep on the fold-out couch most nights because DP needs his sleep and gets up at 3am for work! :redface: I actually don't mind it...it's pretty comfy!
Hi all,
Just dropping in. I have only quicky read the posts, as went straight from our meet up lyest to MIL's house. Stayed overnight and went to the zooo today. I am soooooo tired. E was up for about 2 hours last night, although she is prob awake that much every night, just that i don't hear her as she is in her own room.
It was so great to meet everyone. We must do it again really soon.
Told DH that I am going to QLD, so at least he has heaps of notice, so count me in!
Hoping she behaves tonight as DH on night shift and I am tired!
woohoo Meg, we'll be able to book soon. Think we have 5 definates, couple maybes.
Pinny- I know I love that lip drop and feel bad for liking it but it is so cute! Emily gets it if loud noise and looks at me with lip then sees my smile and gets her own big smile so all worth it.
Holly- Enjoy dinner, so nice to be able to get out. Hope L behaves. Now I've seen your pics on facebook I'll be looking around down centre road or places if I see you. lol.
Det- that rota virus can make them bit spewy I think. I don't think I've asked what business you and hubby do that involves all the paperwork.
Ali- Ash's cough improved? I know from myself sleeping on my back makes it so much worse. Maybe put eucalyptus on a hanky or something at end of her cot? I always use when I have a cold. At least at end cot she can't put in her mouth.
Tarkine- Oh that sucks, I really wanted to see that movie, doubt I'll get to movies anyways! Wow on pram I thought A would be teenager before it arrived!
well Emily must've known I was upset cause she behaved last night, fed 10pm, then 2:30, woke twice in between but dummy in straight back to sleep (the joys of her being next to me meant I was straight back too!) then after that 2:30 feed took little while to settle but then slept til 7. So yay! But won't get too excited cause she only ever does 1-3 good nights then follows by a week of bad ones!
