I am still around too!! Just been madly busy, Mostly with Rhyb and the girls (well up until the weekend they were still inside but I was still with them all!!) and I have a friend in town who I havent seen in 3 years so thats been wonderful too.
Be back soon when life slows to less than warp speed!! LOL
belfie - thanks, i try my best not to let having A affect me while PG, the girls @ MG have no idea how i still have so much energy... me either to be honest.
A sandpit sounds awesome for X and he will walk when he's ready... i thought A was NEVER going to get there.
CSAB - hope you guys are feeling better... go V with all those teeth.. nice work!
How was she when those molars came through? A is not eating (basically AT ALL) and has really gross #2's (TMI) but no fever etc etc so i can only put it down to teething but she has NEVER gone off her food.
Off to the Dr's today just to be sure.
I hope the Paed says that V has grown in length and that everything is going ok.
Teruteru - good luck with everything for your DP's business, i'm sure it will all go well
1 have 4wks left (roughly) til #2.. OMG
Hope the mat nurse is happy and you don't need to do any further investigating.
Georgi - on your goal weight.. nice work.
Ok feeling a lot better but starting to get tired now as a lot going on, the concert was AWESOME Ava had an amazing time, she thought it was the best and she was perfectly behaved.
We did pick a nappy bag and i am in SHOCK... Ren bought me an OiOi nappy bag, it's gorgeous... i didn't look at prices or anything she just gauged what i liked, she bought it on the spot... i have no idea how ppl pay so much for a nappy bag (all i know is it was more than $150)... i get it next week at MG as it's from everyone.
My hosp bag is FINALLY almost finished.
BJ sounds so cute with his words... how funny.
Moi - GO MAYA with the teeth.. nice work and she's getting better with the walking stuff too... for you with the MRI and everything, i'm sure it will all be fine.
Ok so AFM well i am hoping things start to look up, 1stly my camera is in being fixed and possibly wont be back in time for #2, then our comp shat itself and had to pay for it to be fixed then my washing machine blew up and we had to go buy another - the guy said had in stock, paid for it then he rings the warehouse and they are SHUT so DP has to go back there 45min away to pick it up tonight, aside from working his 7days a week and lately leaving at 7 only to get home at 7.
He also thinks his car is on the way out and his tax is due but we don't have the cash cos of the stupid washing machine etc.
A is not eating and has;t properly for almost a week now, not even her fave foods.
Off to the Dr's today to get her checked, am thinking it might be her molars but i'm not leaving it that long to be something else.
#2 is due in just over 4wks but with A not well and all this other crap going on i am starting to feel fairly tired, got a maternity massage tomorrow as my back has been KILLING so i think i have 2wks left... if that!
It's raining her today and i LOVE it... god i love the rain.... soo gloomy kinda matches my current mood... lol
X-Mas, well the tree and other deco's are up we have on lay-by a smart trike and some playdoh for A but Mark also wants to buy her this plastic rollercoaster thing from toys r us... she LOVES them at the play centre.. i am beyond arguing over money so he can do what he wants.
We also have to pick stuff on behalf of Marks nan (she doesn't leave the house) so Mark wants to get her this ride on train thing for $100 as she gave us $100... and then Marks dad wants us to pick from him as he has no idea so going to get the the seashell thing and set it up as a sandpit and stuff.
Our families are all very big on x-mas, not so much the pressies but the get together and the kids... so they go all out.
Ava is meant to be a boy i swear it, she has no fear, climbs the slide at the park, goes down it ALONE , loves the go-kart and motorbikes, loves mud and sticks and pebbles and now Mark wants to get her all this stuff most 3yr olds would like... lol she's my devil in disguise!
Sorry for babbling, 1st time i have smiled at myself in a couple of days... god i missed BB.. stupid computer
Well it has been a week now and only a bedtime feed - so we are there - it is just the emotional letting go now for me to give up that last feed - he doesnt care less
Xmas - belfie - you been snooping? We have got Z a new sandpit/pool double sided pit from Toys R Us as our other one was a bit too sun warped and looking to crack - plus these ones are more comfy than the shells cos it is squarer. Water one side - sand the other, perfect recipe for disaster
I am reading but no time to post personals until the weekend so hugs to you all and the toddlers - well kinda toddlers. Z isn't walking yet either - X & Z will probably do it the same time - end of the month likely ...
Sam - Belfie, V isnt walking yet either, walks around the furniture, or by holding onto your both hands. She will walk in her own time, I think once she walks she is going to be into everything.
Amy - V and I are doing better still have the flu, but not that bad now. Mainly sniffles. V seems to get the flu everytime she gets her teeth, her No.2s have been quite on the nose, and a tad loose. Other than that the teeth havent affected her, even though her gums are swollen. She is still very happy and sleeping well. Hows Amy now? What about yourself, I am going to send some labour vibes your way,
I will come back later and finish my post, have to get the kids to school. hugs
long time since i have posted here..although i have been reading.

I have a climber on my hands...climbs EVERYTHING!!!!!!

still has bottles (3 a day) (i feel like a bad mummy hearing how all the other bubbas have sippy cups)
goes to swimming lessons (bath as jack calls it) once a week, and is a natural!!! can float already after afew lessons...maybe that because i used to teach swimming!!!!!

as for christmas presents ~ little people, books, building blocks, push-a-long trike, table & chairs and god knows what else!!!!!!!
csab - Glad to hear both you and V are doing better.
Sami - How's the weaning going?
Avasmum - I hope no appliances have died this week.
Last week was an interesting week with Maya's walking. Belfie and X came for a visit on Friday and when M saw X using one of her walkers she decided she wanted to use one too. And then I couldn't believe how much control she had over her walker. She was able to steer it a bit and go backwards, which she couldn't do before. Since then she's been using her walker again on and off. Thanks X!
And another thank you to X cos he was standing in her way between the coffee table and the couch so she took a couple of steps on her own, without holding onto anything! Her first steps.
So belfie when can X come round next??
Maya is still very cautious though. With encouragement she will walk between two people. So she can walk on her own. But she won't try it any other time. So I don't know how long it'll be till she does walk on her own?!
AFM I got an interview for the job I applied for but I didn't get the job I applied for. I get my MRI results tomorrow, but I know they'll be fine.
Hey everyone, hope your all well and the little ones are being well behaved...
fluff - oh Jack sounds so cute and he is doing very well with the talking and walking.
A talks on the phone now, even pauses so people can speak back to her, she calls ours dogs by name.. even yells at them when they bark... JACK, CASS, JACK, CASSIE...
Other than that she says fish, fishies, mum, dad, nan nan, bub, hi, ta (but only when giving me something not the other way round ) nanny & nanna, daisy (upsy daisy).
She's also figured out she can pretty much run, she does it on the tramp and falls flat on her face but laughs at herself.
Moi - i so wish i had of been able to make it last week now, X and A could have had M running by now.
A's boyfriend at mg is 1 and he has only just started crawling on his knees.. they do everything in their own time... she will just walk one day and you wont now how it happened... lol
Well AFM - Ava is a bit up and down at the moment, finally over the no eating thing and back to being a pig so i'm happy, as i said she is walking everywhere, sometimes even running which looks odd as she is so small.
All she wants to do is play outside with her jack & cass and if she's not outside she's at the door calling them, she gets VERY annoyed when they are locked up and don't come to her, she is hand feeding them now (with our supervision of course) and she loves it.
Teeth #7 & 8 have officially broken though but i still think those molars were moving!
Got the last of A's pressies on the w/end and god i am suprised i made it out alive.. CRAZY! only 3 small pressies left to get for other people and were done.
A is getting her bike, a roller coaster (dp's idea ), coloring books, a playdoh set and 1 set of those crayola starter crayons. i am pretty happy though all that cost UNDER $300.
The bike is from Santa so are the books and the crayons, then we have told the nieces that 'we' bought her the rollercoaster and playdoh.. as they know the difference and were wondering why she only had 1 pressie from us under the tree and why we offloaded a rollercoaster from the car.
3wks left tomorrow until Zara is due, she is engaged already though and only 2 finger widths of her head is out of my pelvis.
The OB is sending me for fetal monitoring (CTG & AFI) as he thinks she is going to be small like Ava and he thinks thats odd as according to him i could 'quite EASILY' handle 8lb+... i was a small baby and my brothers were no giants so i am not worried, just taking it as an extra chance to hear and possibly see my girl before she's born!
Sorry for the me post.. keeping updated so JIC i do go into labour i haven't missed anything.
Oh almost forgot the most important thing THE FINANCE WAS APPROVED ON THE HOUSE!
Probably last post until the new year for me! We are hitting the road in a couple of days with even busier times ahead.
We just bought our next home for the next 20 years. A big 4 bedroom with study 250m2of living with a big block too of 953m2 - and a POOL We didnt look deliberately for a house with a pool, just happened to have one - hard to find a good size house on a good size block here. The yard has lots of grass, a cubby house (which is staying) a vegie patch designated area built up already, and a great permanent structure entertaining area up the back of the yard - good for parties not keeping kids awake LOL. So when we get back from ballarat packing will be happening and then moving in first week of Jan, and I have a green light to buy some new furniture so cannot wait!!!
So much on lately between school and preschool breakups and parties. Last one tomorrow then drinks with friends Sat and Sun ... then take a breath ....
Z is doing well, last breastfeed was Sunday night - he's only having about 300mls a day in a cup, but i figure this is enough over a ocuple of feeds and having yoghurt and other stuff - it's not like he is a baby and surviving only on milk. Thankful now I dont have to worry about getting rid of the bottle too - feel proud of him even though it gave me great angst at the time. If I give him the cup, he has about 80mls, but if DH or daycare gives it to him he has up to 180mls ... boobs a bit sore but cos it was so hot last night I leaked everywehre anyway so natural express LOL - gross I know but it was enough to even them out again.
Not walking yet, just cruising behind the walker and holding our hands if he is prepared to be patient, he is damn good climber though as I watched at a play centre yesterday - frightened me and I am pretty seasonsed at the bumps and falls bit!
Hey all.... I just wanted to wish you all a very merry christmas. I hope santa is good to you all and all your toddlers too! If you're travelling, be safe, if you're catching up with family, I hope it's pain free, and if you're having a quiet one, enjoy the peace
An update on Little MIss V has had her pead appt and weighed in at 6.540kg, still not the 7kg mark I was hoping for but good anyway. The Pead is happy with her and is happy to wait a bit to see how she goes before he gets us to see the childrens hospital. Also had her genetics appt, and she is happy not to see us for another 18mths, so yay.
Ditto!!!! Georgi hun.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and an awesome New Year, Keep safe and enjoy christmas with your beautiful families.
I've been reading but haven't had time to post. Just wanted to say "Merry Christmas". I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow. We're off to Geelong today to spend Christmas Eve and Day with DH's family.
Bethany and I just wanted to pop in quickly and wish all the mammas and bubbas (well toddlers now!!) a wonderful Merry Christmas tomorrow. Enjoy that sparkle that can only come from a child's eye. I know I will be. And thank each and everyone of you for being there for us as we have gone through a rough end of the year with DH's work etc. It means so much to have you all at the end of the computer so to speak.
Quick one from us too! Have a very merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have lots of fun with your toddlers (gosh, they're growing up so fast!)... maybe he'll walk for my Xmas present
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL... am keeping my legs and fingers crossed that we get through today without a new baby!
My MW says basically bubs is ready she's just waiting for her eviction notice.
Ava has been having a ball playing this morning with her new toys and seemed very excited with my new cordless phones... lol i swear she thinks she's 20.
Hope everyone is enjoying their day... all the best and stay safe!
Hi all - I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Mine was good but tiring.
Avasmum - Congrats on the finance on the house. Not long now till #2 arrives. As for M not walking - I'm not worried about it and know that it will happen eventually but poor M gets so frustrated with herself and just wants to walk all the time, which means I'm bent over holding her hand and getting a sore back. I'd just love to see her able to do it on her own finally for her own personal satisfaction and to save my poor back! She can actually walk on her own between two people but won't try it any other time.
SamiH - Congrats on the home purchase. Sounds like a great house. Has Z weaned now? Hope you are having a great time in Ballarat.
csab - It sounds like V is doing so well. Though I imagine you are like me with M and wish she'd put on weight a little quicker. But as long as they are happy and healthy that's the main thing.
Hello to everyone else.
AFM - I got my MRI results and everything is OK like I knew it would be. So definitely got Menieres (though a new ENT of mine does want to rule out something else first - that will happen in early Jan). I've been doing so well lately but then had a vertigo attack this morning which was so disappointing. Though happily it wasn't as bad as it used to be, so I'm hoping that it is a good sign that it'll not be as bad as it was.
I've started doing some balance rehab (so I wonder if that could have triggered an attack because I have to push my balance to dizziness in order to retrain it).
I finally started looking into CC places (there aren't any FDC places available). I thought all places would be booked out by now (the popular ones definitely are) but I managed to look at four with places. I found one I quite like and am going to see it again this week before I decide for sure. I just hope I can go back to work next year! Oh and I finally heard back from my work with which days I'll be working. And there's a new job advertised that I will apply for.
I trust you all had a nice christmas. Ours was nice too. BJ got heaps of toys, a tshirt, a rashshirt & a book. He just loved opening the presents. You could really tell which ones he liked & the ones he didn't care for
He is growing so fast. He'll say his name now when asked "what is your name" Actually he'll say any word you ask him to. He is also nodding & shaking his head when asked a question. He doesn't often get it right though. I still put him in the creche at the gym and he loves it. He never cries when I leave and the carers always say they don't hear a peep out of him, he just happily plays
I'm taking vitex to regulate my cycles which seems to be working. We are officially TTC as of tomorrow so i'll make the ticker change then. It's funny how just a few months ago I wasn't ready for another bub, but that scare made me realise it won't be so bad after all. I'm ready for it now & can't wait to complete our family. I think i'll be O'ing in the next couple of days so am hoping our TTC journey will be a short one
What is everyone planning for this evening? DH is working day shift tomorrow so we'll probably end up going to bed around 9pm. Terrible I know
Well I'll get in early to say HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I hope your 2010 is full of everything you hope & wish for and I hope we can all continue to share the journey's of our toddlers
MWAH
