Hey prama how was diwali and NZ? did you guys have a good time
Good to see you again. How have you been?
bron - thanks! we had a fantastic time.. it was so nice celebrating a special holiday w family. it was a really really good holiday. poopy got so spoilt, hehe. he loved all the cuddles and attention he got. it felt like being back home for diwali.
how are you going?
crappy weather in sydney.. gosh it feels like winter again.. yuk./..
The weather's crap here too. We're on out 3rd thunderstorm since last night. Better turn this off again soon.
I have no car again. Anth came home for a week, but we couldn't afford for me to drive him all the way out there again, so he took the car. Wouldn't mind if it wasn't raining. Sposed to send some stuff for mum at the PO, but its too far with out the rain. There's no way I'm going in the rain.
Can't even get as far as my mates place for pilates coz its heavy rain. She's only about 10 houses down from me.
Jesse did 3 potty wee's yesterday :D So proud! He started on the floor, realised what he was doing & ran for the potty to finish, lol.
Weaning is going ok. He's sleeping through now, so thats good. I'm still allowing the bed time feed. Probably won't stop that one til he's ready. He hasn't been going to sleep on it though. Usually gets a second wind after it & eventually goes to sleep himself. Last night I left him in my bed playing with his truck & 10 minutes later he was out.
Anth had the lawn mower going the other day & Jesse was screaming coz he wanted to be out there with it! I can't believe how much he loves those sort of noises!
We got a new lounge & outdoor setting the other day! I've been wanting both for years & I finally got them! So happy!! Lounge is a 4 seater with chaise, all up about a 6 or 7 seater corner type & was only $700. Loving it!
Oh, the boy has a motor bike obsession, lol. I bought him a toy dirt bike & he didn't let go of it for 2 weeks. The only reason he hasn't got it now is coz we left it at mum & dad's. He'll run to the window if he hears one, stare at the TV if there's one on there & point them out in the car when we're driving. Loves them!
Oh well, best get him dressed. He's streaking & its freezing!
Hi Guys,
How is everyone doing?
Its so quiet in here now!
im exhausted, im almost 9 weeks now (Sunday) and have found the last few weeks really tiring. Mum and Dad have been away O/S and so MJ has been iun daycare 3 days a week. DH didnt (does now) have a car that would take a car seat so i was having to drop MJ at DC at 6.30am and the head off to work and pick her up at 4.30pm... Its a really long day for her and she was getting exhaused. She had croup and a cold pretty much the whole three weeks that Mum and Dad were away and also cut 3 molars!!! (so awake 3-4 times in the night most nights)
Anyway they are back now and i had a night without her, but didnt sleep all the way through as i had to get up and pee twice and drink water once!!! ahhhhh the joys of pregnancy! how quickly we forget!
Skye, how is the weaning going??? Mj only has the before bed feed (although its feed then storys now, not feed to sleep) and i will keep that going as long as she likes... only problem is that she only feeds from the L breast, so i am a bit lopsided... she completely refuses the R!!!!
Anyway, sorry for the lack of personals and the ME post...
Hope you are all well
xoxo
OMG SJ...Jesse prefers my left one too for some reason! lol
I was trying to do the night feed only & was going good while Anthony was home, but with noone to take him away when he's asking its been too hard. He is sleeping right through now though, so thats a bonus!
Anthony got another job. Putting in roof batts. If anyone wants some let me know! They go everywhere. He's in Golburn now. Could be going to Brissy soon, Melbourne is on the list next I think & Tassie. Hasn't been paid yet, but so far its good $$. First pay should be next week. Can't wait!
Have no car coz he needed to take it. They are based in Dubbo. His mum is the secretary, so got him the job (Thanks mum!!!) So thats where my car is. Going to get it next week. He doesn't really need one since they have a work car to travel in. Its great! While he's away his accomidation & food is all paid for, so thats less that we have to pay. Its hard not knowing when we'll see him again, but if it gets us through christmas I'm stoked!
Obviously I don't count on the business lasting. It only came about coz of the whole rebate thing & thats been dropped from $1600 to $1200, but its good while its going!
Oh, SJ what date are you due? A close friend of mine was either 9 or 10 weeks this past Sunday, so you guys are due around the same time. Hopefully it'll all settle down for you soon :hug:
Hope everyone else is good :)
HI girls sorry been so slack we are alive and well *L* WIll has also cut 3 molars but has done really well with it. He did get hand foot and mouth though which wasnt fun poor bubba. He has been ahving swiming lessons on Sat mornings which he is slowly getting used to. I have been going to the gym 3-4 times a week and am doing my lite and easy. I get weighed at Docs on Wed after 6 weeks on so cant wait to find out how i have done..havent weighed myself at all but have measured and have lost 8 cm from my hips which i can really notice. Think not weighing has actually been good for my head and will probably continue to do it this wayl Never thought I woudl see myself at a gym let alone enjoying it so hope the novelty doesnt wear off.
These apst 2 weeks have been mad busy taking all the individual and group photos for both our child care centres. 140 kids 3 groups each day..you know how they say dont work with kids or animals *L* getting them to look at the camera and smile has been hilairous. Its a great fundraiser though and usualy make about $1000 in profit after developing and mounting etc.We are off to Brisbane next weekend mum and I are taking WIll to visit my brother for a few days so hope he travels ok. AM just about to finish writing the last of my xmas cards and have even finished all the shopping yipeee just got my 12 puddings to do so feel good for being organised.I do hope you are all well I keep up to date with some on FB too. Promise to write more xx
Still waiting to find out about the job I had an interview for 2 weeks ago. My boss told me off the record that the chair of the appointment committee said they've narrowed it down to 2 and I'm one of the 2 and they're having trouble deciding who they want...but I "didn't hear it from me" said the boss to me LOL.
Jazz is talking a lot more now which is great. She's also loving her new daycare.
bron - you go girl! 8 cm is heaps!!! i'm so proud of you!! you and will'll have heaps of fun in brissy! he'll get so spoilt!
I should get our xmas cards organised! havent done it yet. ive got some pressies, but mainly for Lakshman. Need to get something for Steve and been looking for a t-shirt at the Think Geek website.
no progress on our TTC. we're still too tired and im still sick. and we've also been thinking a winter baby will not be easy and my mum will really struggle w the cold. maybe a sept baby onwards.. i hope it doesnt sound selfish..
ive also joined the ttc thread but am feeling left out, the girls chatter and have already formed a bond.
sj - how are you feeling, it must be harder w a toddler and w dh working long hrs. i still havent had a night away fr Poopy.. i would like to see if i can have a restful sleep. but i think i wont be able to sleep with him in the same house as me..
skye - i hope anth's job lasts for a while, sounds good he gets paid for travel and accomm.
how's bri going w school orientation.
poopy and i find the left boob easier as i cradle more comfortable when his head is on my left side. i pat him to bed that way too..
Lol, us & our left boobie babies! :lol:
Bron awesome on the cm loss! Wow!!
Bri starts her orientation on the 18th. There are 3 days, not sure if she can go to all 3 or not. I might send her on the bus with Jaz to get her into that idea...maybe. Gawd, its just hit me! Tears! lol Bri on a school bus without me! I know all the kids & the bus driver are awesome & will look out for her though!
Prama you can talk to us about TTC. We've all been there. Took us a whole 11 months to finally concieve Jesse!
i was posting and the page refreshed itself!!
oh skye you are so sweet and kind. i didnt even think of talking abt TTC here, lol. yes, you are so thoughtful. i know i can talk abt ttc w you guys..
lol.. first of all to ttc, we need to be DTDing enough.. which we havent.. we've lost our spontaneous DTD to be honest.. :(
Geez.. spontanaiety.. don't even remember what that is. (Dunno if I can even spell it, lol)
After 10 months trying I forced Anth to DTD every night for a month (like I had to twist his arm!) that worked! lol
i know.. when we were ttc for Laksman, it was like being on a mission (no pun intended) DTD wasnt fun for either one of us! with all. it was all charting and scheduling etc.. haha.
i dunno... it's like sex is the least priority these days... maybe we are just getting too old..
hmmm....so whats my excuse?? lol
LOL you have 3 kids!! you prob have no time or space in bed for it..who would have thought it would come to this..we have 1 toddler and still it's near impossible.
i love your new ticker and eekkk to the number of days..
what's happening in your space, skye??
My MPM membership for my nappies :D
Not sure I can say it out loud, but I paid today! Bit excited!
*L* @ prama dont think its an age thing hun think its just a plain knackered thing to be hoenst. Sleep is all that is on our minds these days *L* I am worried that poor NIck will think that conceving is all I am interested in and once it happens it wil be cut off again poor buggar.Hang in there hun hopefuly xmas holidays will be a bit more relaxing and a bit of xmas cheer will help everybody relax.;-)
I love think geek its Nicks fav store WIll has a cute little t shirt thats says geek in training *L* suits him to a tee. Got to go to swimming be back soon x
Just putting in here that I got AF today. So I know.
Have no idea when I had it last & kinda curious where I'm at...Dunno if I put it in the last thread, but there's no link for the last thread here, so can't be bothered searching.
ETA - SJ have you had a chance to use that night nappy yet??
