I might have a little time to fill you in, depends on grumpy bum Rebecca!!! So things are going well, Amy is rolling everywhere. Shes having 2 feeds over night and bugger all during the day so Im trying to fix that. Rebeccas going well with toilet training, her vocab is still fantastic, her mood, her testing waters..... yes shes still going through that horrid stage although I can see a little bit of light shinging through!! Olivia is doing great, shes grown up so much, I just look at her and tear up thinking about how big and independent she is.... not that its a bad thing, just that time goes in a blink of you eye!
As for having another! Im still not on anything and wont be until I loose a bulk of my weight. Ive lost 9kgs now and still have another 6-8kgs to go. So once i get that off then I'll go on something! Some days I sit and think, do I really want another one? I never say no to myself. I think its more to do with money than anything oh and the fact that we dont have the room! I would ideally like to start trying soon if I could, but..... And to top it off my younger brothers wife is pg and so is Adams older brothers wife and a few other people we know and my older brother is trying!!! I dunno... thats the answer.... ok rebecca is here..... shes the light of my life@@@
Hey Mel, sorry for the late reply, I read your post a few days ago but been busy and haven't had a chance til now to reply. My 3 girls have all been sick with a cold for about a week so things are hectic around here, plus I have had tonsilitis too and I'm on antibiotics, always get tonsilitis when I am run down. How's Amy's sleeping now? I read your posts of fb about the lack of sleep you've been having......it sux hey! I can't wait til my kids are better. At the moment I am 90 % ok with the fact there wont be anymore babies for me. Every now and then I still think wish I could have another but I don't dwell on it now like I used to. I still get sad at how quick my kids are growing up. I was looking at professional photos the other day of Cadence when she was 5 months (she is 6 years old now) and I started to cry. Michael laughed at me, I said its because they are all growing up so fast. I sit there and think that in 10 years she will be 16 and think it will fly coz the past 10 years have gone so fast. Lexie is 15 months in a few days. She still isn't walking but it doesnt bother me. She furniture walks heaps. My other two were late walkers too, Cadence walked at 14 months and Lara 15 months, Lexie is still a couple of months off I reckon. She loves walking in her walker though. Lara turns 3 at the end of next month, can you believe its been 3 years since we were pregnant with Lara and Rebecca and chatting on here? Lara's finally got the hang of toilet training, although I still have her in a pull up for her day and night sleep. She is waking up dry during the day so I think I should be right to eliminate that pull up but at night she is still wetting her pull up, I don't mind that she is still in a pull up at night though, the main thing I am happy about is that she is ok to go out in public in knickers.
Hope everything is going well for you and that your kiddies are good too.
Hey Rebecca, Ive been doing night shifts so sorry I havent replied sooner! All I am doing is working and sleeping and then trying to maintain the house. Adam does a great job with the girls, but today I walked in after my sleep and it was a little bit..... messy! Im not complaining because the girls are having a fun time with thier dad!
Girls are going great. I cant believe Amy is 1 in 2 weeks!
Rebecca has grown up, shes different, beautiful and squidgie... I just want to eat her!
And Olivia is a beautiful little difiant, testing 4.5 year old... and i love her to bits!
See what work does, makes you love them even more.
Glad that Lara is tt now, must be a relief! MMm Amy has just woke up, better go but I might pop back on when Im at work tonight Hope you are well.
Did you know that Sky Blue is pregnant.... I have her on FB!
You know what Rebecca... I dont know how Im feeling about Amy turning 1. Usually Im pregnant or at least trying to be by this stage. Things are certainly getting easier and I have gone back to work and its nice to see money coming in.... BUT. I dont know even if there is a but! Another would be nice. Everyone else is having babies.... aaahhhhh!
I know what you mean Mel. Now that Lexie is getting older & not so much in the baby stage it's getting easier. I thought I was over the fact that I will never have another baby & ok with the idea BUT my friend had a baby girl on Monday & I went to visit yesterday & now I'm clucky again. But then I sit there & think if I was able to have a 4th child would I then still feel the same & want a 5th? I don't think this feeling would go away no matter how many kids we had.
Oh you gorgeous girls!! I am done!! Done, done done!!! I think 3 is my quota, we are still having sleepless nights, argh, my husband is still working away so I am feeling stretched. But having said that Ollie is a gorgeous bub, very placid and smiley and everytime I think about him growing out of his babyness and not having another bubba in the family I feel a bit sad. But I am getting old now - 38 lol!!! Can't believe Amy is one now - wow and your Lexie is 17 months (?) - amazing. Okay, better go, great we still chat in here. xxx
Laurin, good to see that you've popped in & you & your kids are doing well....apart from the sleepless nights. Lexie is 15mths, turning 16 mths on the 23rd. She's still not walking, shes furniture walking & cruises the house in her walker though. My husband might be going away for work too so I'm sure with him being away all the time & only being able to fly home every now & then 3 kids will be more than enough for me too. Speaking of my DH, it's our 4 year wedding anniversary tomorrow. My mum is meant to be coming up on the weekend to look after the kids while we go & stay in a hotel for the night but it's pouring rain now & the roads will probably flood so not sure if she will be able to make it.
Hello Everyone!
Loooong time since I have popped in! Busy busy with my 2 kiddies now (as you would all know how that goes!!) Bella will be 3 in December as you would all know... Man where has the time gone?? She is such a bright happy, confident beautiful lil girl! She is very switched on and always has the last word over me!
Hamish is 6.5 months old already! He is such a big boy and strong in every way! He will be a big strapping lad I have no doubt.
H man still wakes once a night for a bottle and most nights Bella is still up once.. Though last night age slept through again... One night they will both sleep through together... Won't they?!? Lol
Glad your all well!! Xo
Good to hear from you Kate. Glad to see that Bella and Hamish are doing well!
Mel, happy birthday for last week. I hope you had a fab day & that Amy had a great time at her party yesterday.
Speaking of birthdays, it's Lara's on Wesnesday. I can't believe she is 3 already....and all your little ones bdays aren't too far away either. It's hard to believe we were all pregnant this time 3 years ago. The past 3 years has gone so fast. I've still got all her presents to wrap, better do it some time today.
We found out on Friday that DH has a new job, he starts on the 21st November but it requires us to move. It's a very small mining town that we're moving too. I'm not sure how I will handle moving from a city to a town that only has one supermarket. There are no houses available yet so DH is going on his own & we'll go sometime next year. It means in the mean time that DH will only fly home every 6 wks or so and will only be home for like 3 days at a time. The kids are going to miss him & I will need a break when DH gets home. I'm going to be very busy.....Laurin I will understand what it's been like for you.
Great to hear from you Kate... definately know how busy life gets with more than 1 baby!!! Hope they sleep for you soon. It took quite a while for Olivia and Rebecca to start giving me a full night sleep... then Amy was born and it was all over with! Are you planning any more children?
Rebecca, thanks for the Birthday wishes. I had a great day. Did you end up getting out for your wedding anniversary? Amys party was so fun and my family suprised me with a voucher to Hepburn Springs for a day of pampering!!! yay!
Congrats on the job. Good luck with the move, It will take a while to get used to living remote. Is it a long term thing? I cant imagine how it would be just to see your dh once in a while... I would struggle!!! Good luck... exciting times ahead!
We finally got our home loan extention and now we can do our major renovations. Its a bit scary and a bit sad! Lots of memories in this house! However we need the space and its better to do it now before the price of construction goes up!
My goodness... Rebecca is 3! And all I can think of is... you guessed it..... mmmm.. maybe I could have another baby! And the funny thing is that the other day after a close call of dtd on o day, Adam is kind of excited.... we will have to see hey!
Happy Birthday Rebecca!!! Hope she is enjoying her day Mel. Can't believe our little ones are 3 (or almost 3) already. Those 3 years have gone so quick. You will have to keep me updated if there will be another bub added to your family or not Mel.
At the moment I am once again fine with the idea of not having any more kids. Michael leaves on Saturday morning to start his new job and we have no idea when he will be home. He will miss Xmas and we're hoping he will be home some time between Xmas and New Year but even if he does come home it will only be for 3 days and then he will be gone again. It will be like that until a house becomes available for us to rent and then the rest of us will move up to be with him, so at the moment I will have the 3 kids full time on my own until we move (apart from Michael coming home every 2 months or so for 3 days at a time). Lexie and Lara don't go to daycare but as of next year I am thinking of putting them in one day a week so I can have a bit of a break.......god knows I will need it.
