[Stevie]

Good morning ladies,
how are we all? im sorry i havent been on, need i say, my computer still isnt fixed, im on jons but when he's home its really hard to find time to get on the computer. He was supposed to go back on Tuesday, but they didnt book his flight and there was no room on the plane (we found this out after driving ll the way to the airport :sigh: then yesterday they booked him but we were running late and jon had his phone in the boot and we missed their call so missed the plane THANKFULLY he got on ok today, lol. We really need the money atm, so it sucks big time that he missed out on overtime.
We're saving fr our tattoos, he's got his next month and ive got 3 sitting in june/july, i missed out on getting any while i was pg (thats when he got both his arms done ) so i told him he has to let me get whatever i want lol.
ANYWAY..
Kass: a word? OMG im so jealous lol!! thats so cute!! and a first tooth Go Lucy!!! hehe your girls are so gorgeous Kass!!

Rach75: sorryt o hear the boys have been unwell and that you too have been unwell it sucks being sick!! I know its not the same thing but i just got AF back for the first time since having Miss A and i feel like CRAP!! Well i did the first day i got it, all crampy and gross.. can i ask.. is it normal to bleed heavier than usual on that first AF that you get? i mean its been 5 months (coz i bled for 6 weeks after she was born.. i figured it was normal but its been almost 3 days and im still rather heavy (normally by day 3 its almost gone)Also thats one big lil man you got there Alissa was JUST on 6kgs when i got her weighed last thursday lol, she's really tiny tho im guessing i havent looked up the chart.. might do that today soemtimes actually.


Amber: Flynn is crawling? (i know he;s wriggling across the floor at least) thats soo awesome!! I keep saying how i cant wait for Alissa to crawl and everyones liek "you'll be sorry" it makes me so angry that people can be so negative grr.. lol
and i wont be able to make it to the meet up.. im working but have fun and i really REALLY wish i could be there!!
Rach2281: Miss E is soo darn cute!! she'e belly crawling too? so jealous of you ladies lol.

LJ, Tam, Fi.. (my sweet, hope everythings been ok?) Shades (i know you read this thread from time to time) and anyone else ive missed, im sorry lol.

AFU.. well we're ok.. working is awesome. Its a bit of a challenge to juggle everything but i honestly think i need that right now. Miss A has now got 4 toothie pegs, she hasnt got her front 2 she has her fangs.. my cute lil vampire baby hehe. the ILs have been great looking after her and im so so grateful for everything that they are doing but its really getting on my nerves lil things that they do. i really want to say something but i cant bring myself to coz they are being so fantastic with her. Jon and i talked about another baby and then all of a sudden he was like "i dont want another one!!" this broke my heart and it really go tot me. i asked himn last night again and just said "were u serious about not having another baby?" he said " a big part of me doesnt want to coz we'll be set back in doing all the things we want to do.. but a nother big part of me really wants to coz another kid like Alissa would be awesome" i told him that i really want to have another baby and that then we have our family made and then once that one is here we can look at doing everything else. he said that if we were to have another that i would be getting pregnant at the end of the year and then he kind of implied that i need to get in shape (which i do) lol coz i plane on being active next pregnancy coz i really think i wont put on so much weight and if i do by staying active im hoping it wont be this hard to get motivtated to get it off
So i think he's considering a baby at the end of the year.. i really hope so lol.

Alissa isnt crawling but she's roll and wriggle herself around.. very slowly lol. she can sit up unassisted for a good amount of time but then she'll evertually topple over lol.

I really have to go.. she's crying, poor bubba has a runny nose
ill have to keep up more everything just flys by so quick, before i notice a whole week has gone lol.
much love to all you ladies and all your gorgeous bubbas xx

Hello everyone!

Wow, i stopped checking on here for a while because it was so quiet and i figured most of us are on FB so i thought perhaps we weren't posting here anymore... then by chance i checked last night and there was stuff i missed!

So sorry.... I'll be a better internet friend from now on!

Since it has been so long since i have been here i am going to skip personals for the moment as i would have to write a novel to get them all out! Unfortunately this will be an all about me post.....

I started E on solids at 4 mths and we are now up to 3 solid meals a day (just small meals) and he has 2 x 180ml bottles and 2 x 240ml bottles. I am off to get him weighed and measured tomorrow but he was last done at 4.5 mths and was 7.9kg and 69cm.. so even though he weighs quite a lot he is very long (i think he will be about 74 now as he has grown at almost a cm a week since birth) so actually looks lanky.

I am thinking i will be turning his car seat around in the next week or so because his feet touch the end now. I know it's better for him to be rear facing as long as possible, but it's just not going to work with the rate he is growing at! Stevie I am very jealous of you and your little bubby... E hasn't been 6kg since he was 9 weeks old!

The other thing i have done recently is confiscate the dummy! He was waking at about 3am each night to get the dummy back and in all honesty i got sick of getting up to get it for him. So i decided after i came back from Sydney (got back last week) i would take the dummy. First day without the dummy was Saturday and it was a hard day.... i didn't want him to have to just lie there and cry to go to sleep so there was lots of cuddles and sitting next to the cot to make sure he went to sleep with min crying. It's now day 6 without the dummy and although he whinges a little (grizzles and grunts) when i put him into bed he doesn't cry about not having a dummy and he really does sleep better at night. I don't hear a peep from him until after 6 now and he seems to sleep much deeper too.

Well he is crying now... cranky child today. So i have to go but i will try to keep up again now!

It's great to hear everyone is doing well and all the bubs are happy, healthy and growing.

Tam. x.

[Kazmar]

Needles today Im interested to see how tiny she weighs now hahaha

[Tammie]

Good luck with the needles Kass!

As horrible as they are, it's still nice getting cuddles for the rest of the day... i'm a mean mum i think.

[Kazmar]

So needles al done She hardly even cried, which made it easier for me to deal with. Annabelle was a delight and made me look like a really great mother, how well behaved she was haha

Lucy is growing nicly, teeny tiny 14lb 11oz hehe

[Kazmar]

[Tammie]

Kass - awwww you are a good mum - even if they both had of cried it doesn't change the fact that you're great! I am also very jealous of your tiny little Lucy - my Eli is an elephant (but a very gorgeous one)!

PS i love the little bump emoticon.

xx.

Hi girls. I'm about ready to burst into tears right now. DH and I went to poker last night and DS stayed with MIL and FIL - time for us to have some time for ourselves because we usually take him. We got home at just on midnight and he was awake for bout an hour, then went back to sleep.. now the little turd won't go back to sleep and he's been up since 5:50am (it's now 6:30am) and I am totally peeved and I just wish I could have some proper sleep again
DH is back at work now and he came out after I left the bedroom and kept insisting I go to bed, but of course, I feel horrible if he's up because he always gives me the 'But I have to work' excuse all the time.

I just want to sleep

On another note, DS has his 6 month needles tomorrow - Gonna see if they can weigh him as I'm curious of his weight.

[Tammie]

Liz, i'm sorry you've had a hard night/morning. Maybe 6 month growth spurt? Or just a cranky day....

I hope you had a great time a poker though... maybe just remember all the good times atm to get you through.

I am feeling like a suitably bad mum atm - i was doing housework and thought it was very quite in Eli's playroom so i went in to check on him and he had fallen asleep in his Jumperoo.... he didn't make a peep one moment there was music playing and the next silence so after 5 mins of quiet i went in to check and he was asleep... i'll have to post some pics on FB (i haven't posted any for ages!).

[Stevie]

Tam: thats pretty cute tho hehe. Cant wait to see some recent piccies of lil Eli

Kass: Alissa is tiny like Lucy.. i love having a little baby, except when i tell people she's 6 months.. "oh but she's so tiny" haha i do feed her i swear.. LOL
Your such a fantastic mummy, your girls are soo gorgeous!!

LJ: i know how frustrating it it.. im hoping your sleeping as i type we went to see jons Uncles from Melbourne the other night (plus id spent thatw hole day at MG) we didnt get home til 9.30 she went to sleep at about 10, i didnt sleep right away had to get bottles clean act.. then she woke at 4.30 and i was soo tired still, she had her bottle and fell asleep in my bed but i cant sleep properly when she's in bed with me, i know alot of people co-sleep and i think thats amzing but i just cant do it, not for fear of rolliong on her or anything, i know i wouldnt do that.. just that i know she's right there and yeh.. icant really explain it lol.

afm, work is good, yesterday was probably my hardest day to date.. i really REALLY missed her. and i started getting a little upset. but i kept it together. i got a parking ticket too (grr) i thought it was 6 hour parking.. but was only 3 (do they even have 6 hour parking LOL) and i was there for just over 5 hours.. its only $20 but im still dirty about it. THEN i went and got some things from woolies, i thought id splash out and buy a new body spray ( i dont wear it around Alissa, just coz the smell is so over powering) but i do wear it when im at work. payed $5 for it, got home and the silly chick out lady didnt put it in my bag.. i was so mad. im not fricken made of money, i know its only $5 but t was such a waste.
Jon come shome today, cant wait. ive really missed him. even tho im working 3 of the 4 days he's home
