Babies born~October 1st-15th 2008 #9

[SamiH]

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!

Keep well. HEALTH is SO IMPORTANT. xx

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 What is CK? Where would I find the weight loss thread? I might join in but I only have a couple of kilos left, but then again, I might decide to lose a couple more after that. Hmmmm, I'll have to see. How was X's birthday? It's such an exciting time hey. Did you make him a cake? You guys are probably thinking of TTC soon yeah? Or have you started trying? We're still sticking with Jan next year. I want to be sure there's at least 2 years between them

AMANDA Hope your party of 5 are doing fine... Are you getting clucky again?

AVASMUM Hmmmm, girls names.... I like Zali, Indi, Phoebe, Charlotte (Charlie), Tabitha, but our current pic is Kirra (Byron & Kirra, ha ha ha, a bit sad hey). I think the fairy garden cake sounds good. The butterflies sound very cute too. That's the good thing with girls, there's so much cute stuff. I need to find you on FB. Or you can find me off one of the other girls. My full name is Georgina Wrigley.

AMY Hey! Hope you're well

CSAB If you're stalking.... Hi! Big kisses to V from us

SAMI I bet you had a great time on Sat. The cake looked great. I bet it tasted great too. Yummmmm. I don't know how I missed Zander's blonde hair. I should check out the pics more often

TANYA I hope this specialist can sort you out. How awful for you. Big hugs hun, I can't imagine how terrible it must be to have these attacks

As some of you have seen, BJ is cutting 2 teeth at the bottom. He's only had these 4 for months & months so finally the others are coming. He's been waking every morning with really bad poops, that have leaked through the nappy. Then, throughout the day too. I've had to go & buy huggies (we had been using aldi brand). Yuky.... Though this morning had woke without any poop. So hopefully that'll be the end of that.

He's waking up early now that the sun is up earlier. Boo hoo... 6am. So i'm gonna start putting him to bed at 6.30 instead of 7pm. But it means I need to get to bed earlier too!

Have a great Sunday xx

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.

Welcome to Facebook | Facebook there are a couple of photos in this album.

THEN on top of it she went and had a photo with easter bunny and wasn't even scared of him.

My little girl is growing so fast, i can't believe she is nearly 18mths old

Hope everyone is well.. missing hearing from you all.

Hi all, I know I know long time no see.

Anyway firstly, just want to say I wish you all a very Happy Easter.

Amanda - I am so very sorry hun . I have only just seen your posts today. I have laso read about the comments your mum made. I am sorry you had to hear that from someone so close. Yet let me just say I know only too well how those comments feel. It is never easy hun. Just know that I am thinking of you sweety. Hows little Julian going?

I also want to say congrats to those expecting again, just keep taking good care of yourselves.

I dont have much time on my hands atm, so as a group comment, How are all your little ones going? I hope they are all well, and they all enjoy easter.

A quick update on V, she is now 7.630kg bare weight and 72.5cm long. She repeats alot of words and is very very cheeky. She is running everywhere, and is so very stubborn. The pead is happy with her so dont need to see him for another 6mths time which is great. Only need to go in and see him if she has trouble during the winter time with flus etc, considering what happened to her last year.

I hope everyone is well, and take care over easter. hugs

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I can't believe it... 18mths already.

18mths ago we met the most amazing little girl in the most amazing way, today she has changed our lives for the better, her smile brightens our day and her laugh is infectious. We ♥ you Ava, thanks for the most amazing 18mths of my life. xoxoxoxoxoxo

My gorgeous girl is 18mths today, i can't imagine life without her and she is my reason for being, she is the most loving big sister and most entertaining little girl.
I love her more than words can describe and she has given me the greatest gift in life.

Poor little one has to go to the Dr's today though to check on her eye but otherwise we might just buy a cupcake and celebrate

[teruteru]

im so slack with replies many many apologies...
hope you all had a great easter and that the little ones had a ball!

we're still in the midst of setting the factory up (yup 2mths down the track and still working...) but we've put everything on hold as we really need to get some cars finished so that we can afford to pay the rent next month. We have all the equipment and the likes set-up but just need to finish the office and the spare room. We've decided to leave those till abit later as we need to get our priorities right.

Still havent been to the doctors, but will be going very soon as Master D is due for his 18mths vacc anyways but my tummy doing funny things, sometimes its pretty big and sometimes its like nothign happend im so confused?!

so how are we all on the teeth-front? Dragon has 4top, 4bottom and 2upper molar for definite. And then there's like another 8 popping up...no wonder all he wants is to have milkies. He's a terror lately and that nothing would make him happy, poor bub

hope everyone else is well and that their little one/s are doing much better xx

[belfie]

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.
