BELFIE - Hope you have a great time at the party on Sunday. It's very exciting when they turn 1. Such a big milestone! BJ is also 50th percentile for weight, 10.22kgs so he's not far off X. How's your weight loss coming along? I'm still going at it. Lost 9kgs, only got 2.5kg to go. It's been great. I'm LOVING my jogging every morning & just started to do a little weights 3 x pw. Though now DH is back at work i'm struggling to get to the gym as often as I'd like to. Luckily we have great QLD weather so I can pound the pavement every day
TANYA Yeah I'm VERY consistant with signing to BJ. Considering my parents are deaf, you'd kinda expect me to be good with it So sorry to hear your having a hard time with your illness. I reckon you should try another accupuncturist. It would be worth it cause some do do it differently. Yay for finishing Maya's invites. Have you got them out yet? Are you gonna make her cake? Can't wait to see the pics
AVASMUM Yes, I did make BJ's cake. It was a monkey face (banana cake). It was the first novelty cake I've ever made & it was great! I was sooooo proud of myself. Though I won't be making another one till his next party which will probably be when he's 4 or 5 yo, when he's old enough to understand what's going on! Hey I was wondering are you going to change your name on BB, when the next bub arrives? lol, just a thought. Glad Ava is on the mend. Do you have any names picked out for your new pink bundle?
FLUFF Hope you had a great birthday. Great stuff that Jack is walking. It's one of those things that you can't wait for them to do, yet secretly hope they don't lol. Bummer about his sleep. It's great that he eats anything though. BJ LOVEs fruit too
SAMI How's your DH feeling? Better? Are you having a big party for Z? I had a few people also ask what they should get BJ, which was great cause we got alot of what he needed. How many days a week are you working now? Gees, it must be hard work with all those kids & work. I struggle with 1 kid! Hope you have a fab time at the party
A big Hello to Amanda, Hollye, Kuraiza, ummmm who else????
Well BJ is going great guns. He's almost walking. He'll happily walk around only holding one (of mine) hand. He's getting good at his sign language. He can now sign Mummy, Bed, Bath, Milk, Finish, More, Drink. He'll also copy when you put your finger to your mouth & say shhhh, plus, he pretends to talk on the mobile phone by putting it up against his ear. He's not eating as much during his 3 meals so I've now introduced snacks aswell. He's sleeping great. 7pm till 6 - 7am, plus 2 1-1.5hours naps during the day.
We've had loads of first birthday parties in the last week. It's been good, BJ LOVES socialising. It's great to see (he gets that from me ).
As for me, 9kgs gone, 2.5kg to go. Still doing WW & loving my exercise.
I've been MIA.....sorry, I've had a shocker of a winter, someone sick every week and it was just way to much to handle I think. I just couldn't post, I've read almost all posts.
I've had a sick free house for just over a week now so hopefully everything is getting back to normal, Julian still only has 6 teeth.....he is chewing everything in sight. He's also walking around furniture and can stand unaided and has taken a step from the coffee table to the chair I was sitting on this morning, so I think that he'll most probably be walking by his birthday.
We're getting some pixie photos done on Saturday morning and I'm hoping that I'll be able to get one done with him in his birthday MCN that we got him, as well as a family shot and one of just the 5 boys.
AmandaJ - glad to hear things are settling down for you health wise... it's a great feeling.
Hope your pixie photos turn out perfectly for you and Julian is walking for his birthday, i don't think Ava will be
Georgi - I am making a cake for the Wed for a dinner at DP's nans, am thinking of just doing a square cake with green icing, might use some chocolate or something to make a brick wall and make a SECRET FAIRY GARDEN... just use the pre-made decos and put flowers, some choc lady bugs and some lil faries on it.
DP has a niece and nephew that will love to eat it all... hehe not sure if that would look any good .
You have one very smart little man there, keep up the great work with the signing and hope he's walking soon for you!
I think i will change my name, don't want #2 thinking she's not important, might do a combo of their names or something.. not that we have 1 picked yet.. i want to pick a name but DP can't decide... hmm any ideas girls?
Belfie - thanks heaps, she seems better but still having a couple of rough nights.. not sure whats going on... last night she woke at 1:30 gave her her dummy and she was back asleep then at 5am she woke, gave her a cuddle she was asleep in my arms, the second she hit the mattress was awake and sooking, did this 4 times until 6am, had changed her nappy and everything.
In the end in bed with me and out cold til 7!
Hope the party goes well for you and X gets spoilt rotten!
AFM - can't remember if i mentioned but our land settled on Tuesday.. YAY we own something (well the bank does) and we sign building contracts on the 30th... YAY
Ava is on the mend but had a roughish night last night.
Have found a new breakfast.. PUFFED WHEAT she loves it, eats them with or without milk so it's great to have something different.
She eats ANYTHING at the moment, don't shoot me but she had KFC nuggets and popcorn chicken with marks nan yesterday and his nan was wrapt to see her. She also ate her fruit so not ALL bad... lol nan gave her $20 and we went to DFO and she bought a dorothy the dinosaur backpack, maybe she will stop going through my bags now with one of her own!
She is starting to cruise the furniture and do laps of things but not standing by herself yet. She will walk if i hold both her hands.. would love it if she's walkiing by her birthday but i doubt it.
well best get going am having lunch with a friend today, Ava is going to have a pancake for lunch with fresh fruit... YUM, think i will do the same with lots of ice cream and maple syrup and mmmmmmm i'm getting hungry.. THE BABY MADE ME DO IT!
I dont get the yearning for babies to be walking by their first birthday - it's just more work - more tumbles, more potential forehead bruises for birthday photos - hahahahaha.
I just realised i will need to do a new ticker soon
Belfie - Happy labour day today for you hun !!! hehehe - my waters broke this time last year but I didnt go into labour for another 24 hours so was still taking it easy whilst you were in p-a-i-n .
Z has another double ear infection - having a cold, then lack of sleep at child care and rundown - bang! anyway, got the anti's so I know he should show vast improvement today. gotta cook his cake tongiht so I hope he goes down well
Dh has been away this week so has been busy again - amanda I know I have 3 and you have 5 (they help more when older - but still loads of damn washing) - but I know what you mean re timewise etc.
Anyway, got stuff to do surprise surprise so no personals today!
Hey girls. I've been offline for a few days. I suddenly keep getting vertigo attacks overnight and I'm not sleeping well and I am so ill and cannot take care of myself or Maya. I don't have control over the one thing everyone takes for granted - my body. I know I shouldn't get so down and think so negatively but I can't stop thinking I might not even be able to make it to M's 1st bday party which is SO important to me. Heck I can barely even hold her at the moment which is actually much worse. I feel like I am letting everyone down.
Anyway, I have found an specialist who can see me two weeks from now. But hopefully maybe this is just the worst of it and I'll start getting better soon?
I don't know if I'll be on tomorrow - so HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAYS Z and X!
Firstly wanted to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO X & Z from Ava & I!
Hope you have a wonderful day and get spoilt rotten!
*Tanya* - my thoughts are with you every day and i hope the you can make M's birthday, i am sure you will find the strength. You are not letting anyone down at all, please remember to try and stay positive!
I can't imagine what your going through but if you ever need anything please as i have said before let me know, we are all here if you need us.
SamiH - hope the cake went well, i think Ava would look cute walking for her birthday, would make it easier for her to chase the other kids around, we will be outside and the fun is going to be on the grass and in the paddock so any NICE outfit is going to have to be changed into something that can be ruined so she can crawl around... lol
Can anyone tell if there is a list of our groups birthdays anywhere?
If not please feel free to PM me both yours and your gorgeous Bubba's and i will put a post on here, or even a link to a blog and then we can keep up to date.
I have a shocking memory being PG and don't want to miss anyone!
Hope everyone is well!
AFM - Ava seems almost 100% better, we went for a catch-up with a friend yesterday and she ate 1.5 pancakes (adult size too) then we went and took some pics at our block.. on FB if you want to see them.. hehe
Having a day at home today before we go to a GF BBQ tomorrow then it's finally the lead up to the big party.. sooo much to organise!
Got these cute little butterfly deco's yesterday from the cheap shop $2 each and some butterfly window stickers aswell, Ohhh i can't wait for her to see the lounge the morning of her birthday then we are reusing the deco's for her sat party!
Belfie - we are hoping to move a little after easter , spent another 2 nights up there as Ava loves the place, she just runs feral... it's GREAT.
So glad the PG is going well.... and X is starting to chat away.. thats awesome.
Welcome Yum Mum Amanda!
AFM - spent another couple of nights at the house, Ava just runs around like a FREAK which is great, she lets herself out the front fly screen and plays with the dogs which is so cute.
She LOVES trying to help me around the house especially with the washing, so much so i had to go and buy an AVA SIZED washing basket, she takes the dirty washing from the big basket and into hers then walks it around the house...
This morning she took her basket out to the clothes horses and took off her clothes into her basket while i did my clothes, she was such a good help, will try and put the vid on FB tomorrow.
Otherwise we are going well, have been making some mini muffins for A from some premix thing MIL gave me, would love any flavor ideas, if you want to check out this thread: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...n-mixture.html
Z is still growing like a weed and Ava now calls her 'sister' which sounds a little more like sissa but we know what she means.
Hope everyone is well.
I am so proud of A, we went to Bundoora Park Animal Farm today and she went on a pony ride, all by herself.. with only the leading guy.. no mummy and she didn't even care.
Aaw Tanya I'm so sorry you're feeling so crap. And you are NOT letting anyone down, don't beat yourself up. It sounds like you're doing the best you can in a tough situation. It's so annoying when you can't get specialist appts quickly too isn't it. Sending you good vibes and really really hope you feel better soon. And please let me know if I can do anything to help. Thanks heaps for the b'day wishes too!
Can't believe X is 1 tomorrow, gosh a year has gone by... I'm glad I'm not in labour today hahaha. SamiH lol just cos I was on that bl**dy drip vomiting my heart out... pain, what pain? ah well at least he came out ok and it wasn't TOO long all things considered. GL cooking the cake. X is getting icecream cake, he's lousy with solids so figured I'd go for something he can at least swallow. Bonus is that I don't have to make it!
Georgi - you should come join the weightloss thread -theyr'e a great bunch. I've just cancelled my WW online and signed up for CK (free woo hoo). My loss has slowed down a bit, but I'm back in most of my work clothes thank goodness. Wouldn't mind losing a bit more, but I'm not too fussed.
Gotta run, sorry haven't time for more personals. Had my parents here visiting, so X "opened" some presents today (they flew out this arvo) so that was fun. I must be crazy tho, party on Sunday & first day at work on Monday. Ah well, should be crazy but fun.
So sorry to hear your having a hard time with your illness. I reckon you should try another accupuncturist. It would be worth it cause some do do it differently. Yay for finishing Maya's invites. Have you got them out yet? Are you gonna make her cake? Can't wait to see the pics

- more tumbles, more potential forehead bruises for birthday photos - hahahahaha. 
from Ava & I!
, spent another 2 nights up there as Ava loves the place, she just runs feral... it's GREAT.
