Don't get too excited guys, don't think #4 is going to happen anymore.
I know about the subsidised day care/nanny though - my cousin gets that for her kids - she pays like $20 a day or something? BUT - the scheme in tassie is that you have to have a reason why they can't go to a normal day care, so I can't access the scheme because there is no reason why DS can't go to day care. So he just goes to a normal day care, which costs us more - but it gets him some stimulation!!
I'm still sick, been poopin all day - DH even came home early from work to help out with the kids because I was so crook. He got me some drugs to stop the cramps in my belly, and they helped, and I managed to have a tiny slice of zucchini quiche for dinner - but its basically the only thing I've had all day. Poor kids, they had to take care of themselves for a while there!!!
DD2 had a rough time going down at bed time, DH has only just got her down now, she usually goes at 7! She wasn't too happy about it either ;)
Hope everyone else is fine... I'm camping out on the couch at the moment...

oh mel, hope youre feeling better soon x

Hi Telly - congrats, that's fab, well done to you! :dance:
Hi Madame - lol I didn't notice that on Mel's signature hee hee. I think we'll all just get our figures back and going for the next and starting all over again ha ha! I was just talking on FB to a friend I haven't seen for a while who has a 9 week old and she's trying already!! She's a year older than me (turning 38 this year although doesn't look it at all) and is on her 2nd marriage so has a 10 year old and now a 9 week old, going for the 3rd. We'll wait until the end of the year, want to enjoy Millie for a bit first, and get my body back before I do it all again (see above) ha ha.
Well, after saying to DH last night that Amelia has been going to sleep so easily lately she went and stuffed that up today. She's gone back to cracking the poops cause she's tired but it's taking me a bit to get her down again - no self settling today, just back to cuddles and rocking to sleep grrrrr. Hope it's just a phase. Why can't they just be consistent lol!
-
Hope you're feeling better today Mel.
Madame: Is Harper recovered? Did you have to give her a puffer?
I got a phone call on Wednesday from the bank checking if we'd made a $280 transaction on a betting website, which we hadn't so our credit cards are stopped. I have to wait for new cards in the mail. It'll be enforced saving 'cause i can't spend on a whim.
I went to the bank to get cash out (& bank the cheque DH's aunt sent us in Feb as congrats in Mr I :redface:) I bought graoceries with cash for the first time in our relationship. I wanted to go to the Salvos shop to look for trackie dacks and pants for DS1 to wear to childcare. There were no open parking spots & I sat there for a while while Mr I got more and more upset (and I got more & more upset as he got histerical). Eventually someone pointed me to the turn around bit at the end of the car park that I hadn't realised was there.
I drove around the corner and found a park at a lawyers, grabbed Mr I out and just held him saying 'I'm soo sorry". I didn't want the lawyers to attack me (or clamp my car) so after a bit put him back in his seat (he was still upset) and found another park, went to Salvos so he could have more cuddles. Got the trackie daks (so I can look like a dag around the house), pants for DS and a Thomas dressing gown. Nothing for Mr I - the elastic in his hand me down pants from DS1 has perished so I looked for pants for him, but they only had pink in 0's.
When we got home he helped me eat my salad by stealing the lettuce & cucumber - just tasting & feeling it, doubt any got swallowed. then was so tired he fell asleep on his mat on the floor.
He's just woke. BBL

And won't go back to sleep despite waking at 4:30 this morning and having a 10 min catnap when I posted.
Happy Birthday Shayna! :happybirthday:
-
OOh Shayna is it your birthday? Happy birthday!!!!
Snowy - that sounds rough!! Was it my old work where you parked? hehe
Finally seem a little better today - well in saying that, I haven't gone to the toilet yet!!!!
DD2 slept through again last night without a peep, DD1 woke up around 2 screaming like anything, so not sure what was up with that, but DH saw to her cos it takes me too long to get out of bed (stupid back). Then I was awoken at 4am by a HUGE clap of thunder, seriously thought a truck had rammed our house it was that fricken loud - scared the crap outta me. Got up, checked on the girls they were ok still asleep, DS was in our bed of course, so I snuggled up to him and just listened to it rain, thunder and watched the lightning!! Awesome.
Madame - how's Harper today?
-
Hi Everyone!
Ive been busy busy making bows and clips! I didnt go to bed til after midnight last night argh.
Ruby has been sleeping really well the last couple of days, her day sleeps have been lasting 1.5-2 hrs (they used to be 40 mins). Last night she went to bed at 8.00pm, I got her up at 12.00 for a feed and she didnt wake up again til 5am!! So really she slept 9hrs!!!! Damn it for me not going to bed earlier haha.
Hey Suz1 you can add me on FB if you like Im Rebecca Ozols
I will come back for persies later
Love to you all xx

hello ladies where is everyone? computer is flash but no internet on it yet. hopefully it will be all fixed by tomorrow :)

Hi Girls - sorry, it's been a very busy weekend! Went out for dinner Friday night, down the block for the night Saturday, back yesterday morning then out in the arvo and then out again today! Poor Amelia hasn't had a decent day nap in days. I'm finding she's only having a decent sleep if she's home and in her cot, she used to sleep anywhere but even if she does that now it's only a short sleep. Oh well, will be staying home for a few days now to get her back on track - she's so buggered she's fallen asleep straight after her last bottle and it's 7.00 pm, she's normally awake until 8.00 pm at least. lol
Had a great weekend though, did everyone else? The weather in Perth has been so beautiful. Exciting too as I had my first weigh in this morning for the 12 week challenge and was expecting not such a good result due to AF arriving last night but I still lost 900 grams so totally happy with that! AF is annoying though, bit painful this month but at least it's spaced out better, 4 weeks since last time, the last one came 3 weeks after the first so wasn't too happy about having them every 3 weeks.
How did you girls go Natty/Suz?
Faltered today though, went to my sister in law's for lunch and they ordered Domino's pizza because she found out they do gluten free pizza, OMG I haven't had a take away pizza for 2 years, I was so excited and it was so delicious! Bad for the diet but I've got a week to work it off so I'm not bothered at all. It was so worth it, it was delish!
So how is everyone else and their bubs? My self settling has gone out the window the past few days and I've gone back to cuddling Amelia to sleep - if I put her down awake she rolls straight onto her tummy and then cries because she can't roll back. I'm hoping that's just a phase as I was liking the self settling....besides, I think she'll get too heavy to cuddle/rock to sleep soon lol!
Anyway, totally knackered so going to kick back with a cuppa, watch some tv and head to bed. Hope everyone and their beautiful bubs are well. xx

Hi Ladies,
Natty - Hi there! Hope you're back online tomorrow and the computer behaves itself. Well done on the weight loss for this week, whoooo!
Ubba - Your Cute Clippies are gorgeous! You're very talented. Pity I have 2 boys, maybe #3 will be a girl? Good girl Ruby for sleeping. Damn I do the same thing and don't get to bed early.
Mel - You're such a champion, walks and the gym! Sounds like you would have lost weight regardless of the tummy bug. Love how your kids didn't care you were gone, :ROFL: Did you get to talk to your Mum about your Step Brother's funeral?
Snowy - That was a busy day, poor Mr I. Is he sleeping better now? Hope you've got your replacement cards, although the enforced saving is a bonus.
Madame - Hope Harper is better now.
Alison - Hope you had a nice long weekend away at your holiday place. Congrats on your weight loss this week!
AFM - Ryan slept a lot today and was back to cluster feeding. Growth spurt? He's still gnawing on anything he can stick in his mouth. I'm expecting a tooth to break through soon, Craig got his first tooth at 5 months and behaved the same way beforehand. Craig has been sleeping well but was grizzly this arvo and put himself to bed early. He felt hot, temp 38.2 under the arm. Hope he's not coming down with something. We're seeing a photographer tomorrow to get photos done of the boys and I hope I don't have to cancel.
Despite Maccas for lunch one day, ANZAC bikkies and way too much food, I've still managed to lose 900g and 2cm this week. Started a food diary today so I can more disciplined with the food. Plus I've managed to get on the Wii Fit for the last 5 days in a row for 30+ minutes every day. Maybe one day soon I'll even manage to go for a jog!

Hi Girls
Suz~ Thanks! Im really enjoying it just hope I get a few more sales! Hope your little man is ok for the photos tomorrow.
Al- Sounds like you have had a very busy weekend. Hope Amelia settles again.
Natty- Yay for your computer, boo for no internet.
I just got my results back for my 3rd and final assignment for the first subject in my course and I got 100% HD!!!!!! So this means I have 3 HD's! I am so so happy :)
Now I just need to motivate myself to get back into the next subject.....
Hope everyone is well xxx
-
Yay congrats Ubbs that's fantastic well done!! :clap: I will have to go suss out your clips, I've hardly been on the computer so haven't seen yet.
Congrats Suz - that's awesome, we lost the same yayyyyyy! I don't think I lost any cms (can't remember my original measurements, must write them down from now on) - but I have AF so I actually think when it comes to that I'm bigger as my belly is really bloated!! grrrrr
-
Hey ladies
Alison and Suz :clap: well done on the weight loss!
ubba - kick arse!! HD is awesome! My motto going through uni was " P's get degrees! " haha! (mind you I still did the extra miles and got the HDs and Ds mostly).
i think theo is crawling :hide: its freaking me out... well.. its not really crawling as such. Remember last week i was saying he gets up on his hands and knees and does a rock, to the face plant the ground? Well now he gets on his hands and knees, and moves a knee forward, then face plants. And he gets up and does it all over again. So I guess he looks like a bit of a caterpillar, slowing getting along the ground. I really don't want this to happen.... :( haha. dont get me wrong.. i definately want him to develop (duh, what parent doesn't), but this is way too soon for me.. its making me a bit sad! I hope he just sticks to his slow caterpillar hump for a couple of months before he learns to move his hands aswell.
Went to a friends house for dinner tonight and she was gobsmacked by how well he is moving! She's very much like me tho - take their time! they're only little once!
Kymmy and Alicia, when your boys sit up right on their own, do you put them there, or do they get there themselves?? Theo is almost there, by himself.. but hasn't quite gotten the gist, hopefully that will be a while too. haha. If i sit him upright, he is pretty good, but i wouldn't trust him there, and walk away iykwim, im always next to him cause i'm worried he'll go splat.
hmm, sorry for the 'me' post.
love you all
xx

Hello All
YAYYYYY UBBA!!!! You're so flamin awesome!
Sorry cant type right now but
HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Will call back in tomorrow..
Kym xxx
PS Ive lost 500g but gained a cm each on hips and tummy WTF (Bloody creme eggs...)
-
Sorry Telly, missed you...
Woah Theo!! Archie is nowhere near crawling! And only sits up when i put him there! I have to be close to him in case he falls, he fell once and was so distraught afterwards!
-
Hi ladies!!! Im baaaack!!!
So Ill try and see how much I can get down before V wakes up. Its been great being able to access bb on my phone but I feel so out of touch because I can only see a tiny part of the screen and there is no forum app for my phone :(..
Good on everyone on the challenge for whatever you lost, joining in is half the battle and mega good on you Mel for joining a gym!
Congratulations on the HDs Ubba! What motivation do you need? You are a studying machine it seems! I can barely find the time to study a newspaper let alone an avtual subject for uni lol..
Omg Telly it looks like Theo is going to be off and running soon lol, It is very wierd to see them growing up so quickly, in a week so much can happen and you have a completely different baby. V is sitting on her own but falls over after a couple of minutes but doesnt really worry about it, she just rolls away or spins around on her tummy. I never know where she will be when I get out of the shower, usually she is up against a wall somewhere, sucking it.....
Suz I hope the photos go well today, and Ryan isnt sick there is nothing more sad than a sick baby.. Good idea on the food diary I think ill do the same so I dont sneak little extra things (have been sneaking in a beer at night..:shhh:
Mel whats wrong with your back? I have a bad one too so can completely understand the not being able to spring out of bed like a cat lol..Love your fb posts, you crack me up on a daily basis :)
Snowy That is amazing that the bank picked that transaction up! You are so lucky...(well you did get caught out but still)
Ok have to go V is awake and ime for a feed then mg this morning.
Ill be back!

Morning Girls - I need to vent. On Sat night down at our holiday house MIL and FIL were there as was BIL, SIL and their 2 kids. We don't normally go down when the BIL etc are there because they're pains in the backsides (truth be known I can't really stand being around them for too long) and their kids are always sick with something or other. So what happens, the 2 year old threw up in the night with vomiting in his cot, I was so paranoid and wouldn't let him touch Amelia or me the next morning and Paul and I pretty much got up, had a cuppa and came home ha ha. We thought it was probably food as he seemed fine after he vomited (he eats a lot and had eaten those greasy cheese sausage things, dried fruit and all sorts of crap that day) But, DH has just spoken to his dad as they work together and his mum has it now - she did help clean up the vomit and didn't touch Amelia after just in case but I'm so paranoid now. Can you catch gastro or whatever it is by being in the same room? DH said that it was probably because she helped clean up - while the mother just sat at the table and played cards (this is what she's like).....but the office is at his parents house so he's going to be around both his mum and dad today. I feel so ridiculous but I was like, make sure you wash your hands before and after you eat and don't go near your mum. I hate sounding so stupid but I am so paranoid about it, colds are one thing but stomach viruses, no thanks!!!!! DH said his mum is probably more susceptible because she's unhealthy and overweight.......lol - but I guess he does have a point, she's pretty overweight and eats pretty badly. I drove her down while DH drove his dad down with the trailer (DH and I came home alone thank goodness) but on the way down she wanted to stop for breakfast at 10.30 am at the roadhouse, I had nothing but she got a large iced coffee, burger and hot chips and then when we got down to the block we went to the local fair ( which is why we went down in the first place) and ate one of those big fat sausage things (bratworst or whatever it's called) and had an icecream and yada yada. Get the picture? lol.
Anyway, I guess we'll just have to cross our fingers that we can avoid whatever she has huh. grrrr, won't be going down with them again, what a great excuse! ;)
So, how is everyone this morning, it's Tuesday already I guess, funny how long weekends melt into one these days. I remember being at work and hanging out for public holidays, now we just have one long public holiday and I love it! I don't want to go back to work!
