Just a super quick one from me as it's super late and I'm TIRED! LOL!
All good here - we've been having lots of fun with christmas and our advent calender! Boys are good. Ethan is getting into all sorts of mischief and is just such a gorgeous little boy!! I love this age when their little personalities are really starting to shine!! He's really trying to talk a lot more and is all of a sudden loving his books - and is LOVING everything santa! Very cute!
Natasha - LOL at the playpen - Ethan hasn't bothered with ours much which is interesting since he gets into everything else!!
I'm giving playgroup a break next year as well - Louis will be doing 4yok and with the new bubs I'll be lucky to get anything done! LOL!!!
I'm going well - 25 weeks p/g!! Omg - I hope the time starts slowing down!! It's certainly going to be a madhouse but I'm also excited to meet this new little man...giving me lots of big kicks which I LOVE - best part of p/g by far!!!
Kirra - Wow at having Alyssa going to school next year - I'm sure I'll cry when Louis goes as well!! Bugger Charli's up so early!! Ethan's usually the last up (at around 7.30pm)
Ok...I'm off to bed...it's way past my bedtime!!
Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!
Kristie - That has gone fast! 25 weks already! Ohhh, I can't wait to have another one!
Kirra - Don't worry, I got teary at Pip's 3 year old Kinder meeting when they showed us a slideshow on what they'll be doing there! So no doubt I'll be a big sooky lala when she goes off to chool. I know she won't though she's already hanging out to go to kinder & is talking about going to school!
Hey, great anta photo too! I like the photoshopping they did! Funny because when we di ours I said to the girl, couldn't you set it up so that if the parents do have to sit with bubs(I did!) that you could postion it to not get them in the frame. Maybe I'll have to travel to Cranbourne next time haha!
Ok, I'm off because I'm not suppsed to be on here. I'm supposed to e cleaing AGAIn! It looks like Hansel & Gretel got lost in my house - thre atre crumb trails everywhere(thanks to Lily, th racker monster - who is teething agan by the way!).
Just had a nice 4 days home in NZ. Good to be around family again. And Ben to get to know his grandparents a little more. Mum had a great time chasing him up and down the stairs and around the house. They took him to feed the ducks and we got an afternoon to ourselves. How nice it is to go out for lunch and not have to spend the whole time chasing a running 1yrold.
Kristie - wow that has gone so fast. Glad you're feeling good. It is definitely nice when they kick - weird to see your tummy moving but cool at the same time. You really will have a mad house - but that is so nice. I don't know how you do it - Ben is so busy I am ready to hand him over when Hubby gets home from work.
Kirra - Ben had a 1hr orientation at day care last week and I got teary at that. I can't imagine the feelings when they start school. It is kind of scarey really. We spend all our time raising them - what do we do with ourselves when they start school?
Hope you're all well and enjoying the preperations for xmas!!
I'm basically all done - just waiting for some pixie photos to arrive and a bit of food next week...
Robyn - Glad you had a great time heading back to nz! How nice that you were able to have a bit of time to yourselves!!
LOL Robyn - sometimes I don't "do it" at all! You should see my house at the moment - such a mess - but Michael dealt with the boys for the arvo so I just chilled out - was more important than cleaning - a much needed sanity break!!
Hi to everyone else! It's late again and I should be asleep - we have a huge day out tomorrow going to mums for lunch and then dads for dinner...I'll pay for it with 3 cranky boys on Monday no doubt!!
Wishing you all a super Merry Christmas!! Enjoy your time with family and good food and stay safe! Hope you have a ball with the kids opening pressies!!
Hi everyone sorry I haven't dropped in for ages.... I hope you all had a lovely christmas and have an awesome new years planned. We are going to the races on New Years Day (free tix yay!)
Logan is going along well - he has 2 top molars now, they just appeared with no fuss at all. Just the way I like it so now he has 9 teeth Still bum shuffling, I reckon it will be quite a while before we get to the walking stage.
Hope you guys had a great chrissy! We're up at the IL's and it's HOT!! I had to go to bed early last night as I ended up with the beginnings of another migraine - funny vision and feeling light headed!! Not feeling too bad this morning although it is still lingering...
Kylie - Sounds like Logan's going well!! How are you feeling?? Ethan still has his 6 teeth although I must say after he bit me the other week I haven't had a good look in there for any more! LOL!
Kristie - migraine doesn't sound good, although at least you are feeling better today.
So far so good with no morning sickness - I had gastro for the past two days though (initially thought I was getting a bad case of all day sickness!!) Feel much better today though I had a dating scan just before xmas that put my dates back a bit so now due 10th August. Saw the heartbeat - 151bpm and bubs looked like a blob as too early to see much definition.
Happy new year everyone - I hope you all had a good night.
We ventured out to the park for the fireworks and it started raining as soon as we got there so we were home by about 8.30. DH was snoring by 11pm. Yay - what an eventful night. it probably worked out ok though, as I was ovulating yesterday so managed to fit a quickee in before the snoring started lol!!!
Kylie - so exciting to be starting the scans and monitoring all over again. You and Kristie must be so excited.
Ben also has 2 molars coming through. We have just a bit of crying and interupted sleep but generally ok.
Wow - what slackers are we! None of us are posting much this year. I hope that everyone has had a great summer so far. Nothing really exciting to announce here yet - Logan is still shuffling around all over the place, lots more words though. We had a great big poo incident on the weekend. I got a sleep in as I had a sore throat and DH got up and looked after Logan. He was happily playing in his room and up and down the corridor when DH noticed the smell. Then he looked closer and noticed that it had not stayed contained and there was a poo trail wherever he had been due to the bum shuffling. He said there was that much that it covered up his boy bits entirely and he almost vomited 3 times whilst changing the nappy! I have to hand it to him though - he didn't come and get me to help (even though he thought about it). He even mopped the floors and cleaned the rug that had chunks on it..... Apparently I owe him big time and he is excused from changing poopy nappies for a while. Thank god I was still in bed!!!!!
Kylie - eww on the poo! LOL! How great he didn't wake you! How are you feeling? Time's really flying - 2nd tri now!!
A big hello to everyone else!
We're all well here! Just had a weekend away which was nice...Louis started 4yo kinder last week and we started all the kids activities so they've been quite tired and cranky! Ethan's doing gymbaroo and Dylans doing ready steady go sports class. Louis is doing swimming and brightstars as well so it is a pretty full on week!
Really need to start getting ready for bubs...we've moved Ethan out of his room now so I just have to get the bassinette set up and wash his clothes, buy nappies and start packing my hospital bags!! Not long to go now. Have already started with pre-labour - getting quite a lot of crampy braxton hicks...hopefully my body's getting nice and prepared for a straightforward labour cross fingers.
Had a fair bit of back pain but the chiro's been helping heaps!
Looking for a new car still - Probably going to get a chrysler grand voyager people mover thing...never thought I'd see the day I'd be driving a van type car - LOL!! It just seems to be the most practical thing right now though!
Ethan's going well -getting into lots of mischief. Singing heaps and trying so hard to talk - he definitely gets his message across though! Such a gorgeous boy he is...
Wow it has gone quiet in here, i feel so lazy. lol
Kylie- PMSL @ Logan's poo mishap, thats gross but hilarious at the same time. Wow 2nd tri already that went very quick
Kris- Wow u have some very full on weeks eh..... LOL @ the van type car, i was just thinking this morning actually.... i wonder if she'll get a mini van cause i seen a mum with a bunch of kids get out of a minivan and i thought of u. haha.
You should be resting as much as possible, god knows u aint gonna have any once number 4 is here
Wel Lys started school last week, she is LOVING it, im HATING trying to find a carpark.....its just ridiculous, in order to get a carpark close by you need to be there atleast 20minutes early but usually 30minutes Only 17 more years of school to go
Charli is just hilarious lately, every day she literally does atleast something new, she says 'lyssy' all the time and calls out 'mum' and 'dad' when she wants us, also tells us 'no' which is kinda driving me bonkers. Everything is no lately.....can't wait til she learns yes. haha.
Well i better be off, gotta turn the cooling on before it gets warm, plus i got plenty of banana's to make banana bread with for the kids school....... some for my nephews too, trying to encourage my sister to give less 'processed ready to go snacks' but we'll see... lol.
How funny, I was just thinking this orning that I really should come on here becase I've been so slack & then I saw a notification in my inbox! Must be my psycic powers! hahaha!
Glad to hear that everyone is well - especially the preggies!
Kylie - great poo incident. I'm waitig for that to happen with Liy as she has started to take her nappy off! She's ok with her itti bitti's because she can't undo the snaps but her mii lala's have velcro. SHe's been getting her chubby knee stuckin the bars(? sounds like a prison!) of her cot - she stands up & wedges her knee in there. So, yesteday I heard her cying & thought that must be it, & it was - so I went oer to hlp her out & almost sliped on a puddle of wee! Her nappy was off, shews nude & her cot was dry so she must have wee'd while she was standing up! hehe!
Kristie - good luck with the van! hehe! 'Soccor Mom'! ha! Have you loked at the Prado's & other 4x4 type's - a lotof them are 7 seaters. Even Joel's 91(or is it 95? I dunno, !) is a 7 seater. And most second hand ones have been put on gas already. At least then yo uescape the van scenario. Or you could always embrace it & get a Tarago
Kirra - (hmmm, I feel let out not haing a name that starts with 'K'! Well, at least my last name does! haha!) - How great that Lys loves school! Good luck with the parking!
Well, my girl are great. Lily is always busiy running around & getting into mischeif. She opens the sliding door & justgoes outside, climbs up things like Evel Kinevel, sings & dresses up! Such fun! She loves her 'Sissy' & is always giving us kisses! The best thing is that she LOVES put stuff away & cleaning up! Lets hope that she keeps that up! Her little feet are finally growing a little & she has a pair o real shoes(still a size 3 though!).
I can't believe that Lily will be 15 months tomorow! How time has flown!
Pip is a lot more cheeky than usual. Is it a 3 year old girl thing? She'sanswering back & carrying on. Last nght she was being so cheeky that she kept being sent o he rom & was there so long in the end that it was time for her to actually go to bed! She has her first kinder session on Friday which she can't wait for(only half a session though) & the we are off to Emerald for a weekend away for my 30th! What an old bag. We come home on Sunday, my actual birthday.
I've been back at work for a month & I can safely say that I hate being ther as much as I thought I would! But I have to suck it up because I haveto go or else we'd be homeless! Still working on getting Joel to agree to having number 3 - you know what theysay, persistence pays off! hahaha!
Ok everyone, enjoy the heat. I'm of to veg befoe gtting ready for workno sewing for me today - I'm takinga day of there! )
I havn't been on this forum before, even though I've been checking out belly belly since my little person (now nearly 15 months...!! Wow!) was in my belly ... belly!
We've just had our first day at our steiner playgroup, which was pretty cool, we're still booby snacking, and my daughter has just recovered froma horriblebout of teething!
How's the teething going? Lily has been suffering on & off with all 4 eyeteeth these last few weeks. I can see them, they are nearly through! She's a bob monster too! That's all she wants lately, even not at her usual times! She pulls at my top & says, 'bees, bees' for boobies! cheeky thng!
