Babies born~May 16th-31st 2009 #6

Hey Mummas!

Cathy- It's so sad when they lose their baby look I reckon. Congrats to your friend on the arrival of her DD. Love the name!

Nic- Nah, I haven't really taken notice of Logan's voice. I know he can do a very high pitched squeal though!

Naomi- Yay for Humpty Dumpty Bailey! He must be a real little fish. Logan loves the water too.

Kat- I'm with Naomi and BG on this one. There is no escaping us!

BG- Ouchies re the muscles.

AFU, Well Logan has a new thing of when he hears the shower running, he crawls as fast as he can until he gets to the bathroom. Sometimes he is that excited, he forgets he has a vision impairment and crashes into things. We have stolen Naomi's idea of Sunday Funday, so from now on, we are going to spend every Sunday as a family doing something. Thank Naomi!

Oh, does anyone else's bubbas know how to chuck a tanti yet? Logan has it down pat.

HELL YEAH!! LOL - any time I take something away from him that he shouldn't have (eg my mobile phone) his bottom lip drops and he cries bloody murder - what are the terrible two's going to be like? I am going to be one of those poor mothers in the supermarket with a two year old throwing himself on the ground while I pretend not to know him PMSL

Bridg - Yeah, we were getting into a bit of a lazy rut on the weekends, so now that the weather is much milder and not in the high 30s we have declared 'Sunday Funday' so we get out of the house and DO stuff - a few outings on my agenda are Cleland WIldlife Park, the Adelaide and Monarto Zoo's and various picnic locations - I am dying to take him to the Adelaide Aquatic Centre as there is a great kids/toddler bit there but that one will have to wait for our first brace free sunday My Bro and SIL and their kids (in Shep) have Friday Family Fun-night (or something like that) so I kinda stole the idea.....

This is taking ages to write - for a kid who aparently didn't want lunch, Natty has got me going back and forth from the kitchen. She has now downed 3/4 of a vegemite sandwich (mine) and 1 and a half bananas. I think she just expected I'd get cross with her if she said she didn't want lunch - she's always on for a fight these days.

Krystie, McDreamy has been p'ing me off a bit lately. I don't find him wussy as such, but I can't describe it. This season he has just been getting up my nose. I really like McSteamy since he's fallen for Little Grey. I like that he can be a bit vulnerable too. I have also always been very fond of Alex. I really enjoyed watching him hold that baby last night with no shirt on. And BG, I get you IRT House as well!! I LOVE his attitude, I think he's so offensive he's hilarious, and the throw-away lines usually have me chuckling so much I miss what is said next and have to rewind. There is something oddly attractive about his complete disregard for being sociable. So in short, I am a male TV character hussy. Give me any of them for a night and I'd be happy as. (They can look after the kids and I'll sleep. PMSL!)
Bridg: Yes, Phoebe does chuck tanties. Most nights once I have gotten her out of the bath and dressed I leave her in her room (which is next to the bathroom) with some toys while I get Natty out and dry, she crawls back to the bathroom and straight for the toilet brush. I always forget to put it up out of reach (you would think I'd have learned by now) and it won't fit in the cupboard. So I pick her up and put her out the door and put the toilet brush on top of the toilet. She has a little screech and flaps her arms. It's kind of cute really. But it happens quite regularly, and she's generally a loud person. At lunch today once she'd finished her banana, she looked at me expectantly and I said, "It's all gone" and she screeched at me then too. She also has a go at me whenever I put the gate up to block off the stairs.
Nic: It's better to be safe. No harm done in getting him checked out if you think there's something amiss. Maybe he does have a sore throat.
Nay: I love the sound of the Sunday funday as well Something we should get onto as well, as Sundays will be our only family day now and we should make the most of it. So I am going to pinch the idea too. LOL!
BG: I am exhausted just reading your post about the gardening!
Kat: Pffft. I was going to say, 'get lost' but that's the opposite of what I really want you to do, LOL! Keep popping in and telling us how you and Ivy are getting on - I'm not on FB enough to keep up with you.
Cathy: Congrats to your bestie on the birth of her bubba! I'm hanging out to hear from my bestie who's first is due next week. She is up in Cairns though so I won't get to meet her little bundle til Christmas.
Bella: How cool to be able to attend another birth! How wonderful! I wonder if you are there right now...
I am getting paid again on Friday and I've decided that I need a present from this pay so I'm going to buy one of your wraps Will check in with you on the weekend.
Nicky: So cool to hear of Allira's walking and swimming escapades. She sounds like she's just on the go all the time!

Phoebe has been crawling properly for about 2 weeks now. And she is quite quick, which has caught me out a few times now. We have lots of stairs here and it is really only luck that has kept her from tumbling down them a few times. She's also getting into DH's stuff as we have a computer desk with stuff on it and under it in our loungeroom. Serves him right if his stuff gets wrecked, but I worry about what she's going to pick up!
We had a lovely morning this morning at the lake, the girls and I. Natty and I fed the ducks and had a cino and a play while Phoebe had a sleep in the stroller. I am coping pretty well without DH, I must say! But my mum is being extra super this week, coming over on my work days so I don't have to drop them off anywhere.
Work is going well. Now that I am getting a little more confident I am starting to really enjoy it. And Phoebe has had two days in care so far and she's doing fine! She sleeps, plays and eats well and the carers seem to like looking after her. It's all I could ask for.
So, in short (or rather, incredibly LONG, LOL!) all's going well here. But I think my time is up, so much love to you and I will pop in again soon. I have been religiously reading your posts each day but have found it tough to get enough time to post myself. Know that I'm reading and thinking about you all each day xx

When Logan chucks his tanties, he gets the legs and arms flapping, and screams down the place. Then when he gets his own way, he smiles at me with the cheekiest grin.

Snacks- I'm with you on the Alex front. Humina Humina. Glad to hear the job is working out well, and that you are coping without DH.

BG- I used to throw tanties when Jake and Zac did it in the supermarket, and they used to stop, stand there and look at me as if to say WTF.

Nic- Your not being a panic parent at all! If you are worried, then take him to the GP.

[Nicole S]

Classic....Amy,

So in short, I am a male TV character hussy. Give me any of them for a night and I'd be happy as. (They can look after the kids and I'll sleep. PMSL!)

:yeahthat:

Also it's official ladies Aaron is 100% sorted for Winter....love planning ahead.
He is set from head to toe not too sure about DH and I...but sooo much more fun shopping for the little man.

Picked up Aaron an easter gift today. Was in Target and found a Plastic Egg Carton and Shape Sorter. It's so cute has 6 eggs which break in half with numbers 1-6 each with a different colourand shape in a plastic carton!! Looks really real ( the brand is Young Ones)
No real eggs for the boy this year but HOW could I go past a $9.99 toy!!

[MummyNaomi]

Amy - you almost made me wet my pants re your comment about the TV hunks looking after the kids - hahahahahahahahaaha, LOVE IT!! Yeah Alex giving the baby Kanga cuddles was pretty awesome actually, it reminded me of when I did the same with Bailey in the SCN although I didn't have a six pack to show off . McDreamy doesn't pull off 'arrogant' very well I must admit, but hey it's not his personality that I am after........ **wink wink**. For blantant sexy - google Chris Nunez from Miami Ink - he has those bedroom eyes, I'm not one to go for the tattoo sleeve kinda guy, but those eyes...... **drool** (again, I'm not worried about the personality HAHAHAHAHAHA). My celebrity F#ck is Johnny Depp though - Oooooh yeah baby!! Sean's is Heather Graham LOL - like either of us would ever get the chance.........or act on it if we did.....!!!!! Oh and congrats on Phoebe's crawling

Nicole - I am soooo stealing your Easter present idea for Bailey, I might give him a piece or two of egg, although I haven't given him chocolate yet (except chocolate custard) and don't really think its necessary to give them 'treats' at this age, he has a lifetime ahead of him to fill with poor nutritian - eeeeek. He seems to be a savoury kid, he used to get more excited about fruit when we first started solids, but that seems to have changed.

Nicky - sorry to hear Lachie is sick again - you guys are having the most terrible run - surely your luck has to change, hope he (and you) get through it quickly and some good health comes your way

Bella - How wonderful to be involved in another homebirth, I can understand your excitement. Let us know how it goes - I love hearing of babies being born!

Cathy - congrats to your friend! It's always an exciting time when a new bub enters the world. Every time a baby has been born since I had Bailey, it brings my own labour and Bailey's birth back into the forefront of my mind and makes me long to do it all over again. Sean has moved past his worries and is keen to have another at some point. We are tentatively thinking that after christmas this year we will give it a go naturally (heck you never know) and hopefully by mid to late next year (2011) we can then look at IVF again with hope to have a 2012 bub - Sean will be 40 and me 38 (eeeeek ) so we really can't afford to waste too much time if we seriously want another

Bridg - I hope you get all the CA stuff sorted as you mentioned on FB - what a stress, BG as usual gave good sound advice, I guess its just a matter of going through the process and keep on it, hope it all works out babe.

Krystie - Can't wait to hear how everything is going (or not if you'd want to keep it on the down-low ) Hope this journey is a great one for you

I heard from Vic just before - her computer has died so she won't be back online until about Monday, it may not be worth repairing so a new PC might be in order. She feels like her arm has been cut off without internet (I totally understand!!) She wanted me to let you know why she was MIA - and to let you know that the IL hadn't driven her over the edge , fortunately for her they have left - Yay!!

AFU - We have our Ortho appt tomorrow and Xray etc, I hope to be back around midday to give you all an update. I am reasonably confident that we should hear that the treatment is on track and improvements noted in the angles, as we have been doing absolutely everything we have been advised so will be devastated if its not all going to plan. We have to be in the city at the WCH about 8ish for Xrays, then we have a brace adjustment at 9am, then the ortho at 1015 so hopefully Bailz can hold out a bit later for him morning nap

Oh, and check this out - CLEARLY Bailey gets his good looks from me - LOL

ETA - BG, Hows the body feeling after your landscaping frenzy?

[briggsy's girl]

ETA - BG, Hows the body feeling after your landscaping frenzy?

body is kinda ok for now - i think! we had the third day of landscaping today - i managed to shovel and move a tandem trailer full of mulch pretty much on my own. C loaded one load into the wheelbarrow, but i did the rest. plus we did a heap of other stuff. i'm going to feel it tomorrow when i don't use the muscles and they get tight i think. wrist is playing up already - and the sunburn isn't great fun! but it looks good and we've made a HUGE difference! that's all that matters

now, just hoping E sleeps better than she did last night - wouldn't go to sleep til late then woke at 12.30 and another three times before 5.30 - refused sleep for an hour til we gave her panadol (poor poppet was distressed by then) - snuggles and sleep for a couple of hours. only slept for about 2 hours through the day too

must away - hopefully dinner will be almost ready...

[Bridg]

Nic- It is fun shopping for the kiddies! Aaron's present sounds cool.

Naomi- Fingers crossed this CA stuff does get sorted out quickly. BG always gives good advice (and so does everyone else). Chris Nunez is a humina humina too. I also don't mind Ami. Just don't like his attitude sometimes. If you don't mind me asking, how do they do the x-ray for Bailey? I was talking to a friend who said not to be surprised if the paed sends Logan for one (for his leg and foot turning in). Will be thinking of you guys tomorrow and hoping we hear some good news. If your on before the morning, can you pretty please get me some teething stuff? I will give you some money.

BG- You go girl! You should tell C that you must be stronger than him, as you did more work. lol. Sending sleep vibes to Miss Emerald.
