Eff. I have missed to much.
Sending massive group huggies for everyone :grouphug:
Pretz - for your DTD issues :comfort:
Bydz - for J being a selfish idiot :ninja:
Raffy - for feeling sick :sick:
Vix - for feeling a little down the other day (BUT - awesome news that you are not concerntrating on the little missys feeding as much, and she is going great guns. Hooray for the life saving spag bog too!) :leap:
AND ...
AFM - Kids got a cough :cold: Sucks. DH is hungover after going to a wedding and getting blind. IDIOT :angry: Need to do groceries. You girls just KNOW how i LOVE to do groceries :computer:
Over and out .... wahhhhhhh
-
some long over due personals..
raffy -that is great news about EJM expecting again in your group too. Say hi to her for us! HOpe you are feeling better and over the cold/sore throat. How many weeks is the bump now hun? do you have a scan coming up soon? Work is going alright thanks, I have no shifts until next Sat/Sun which is good because I get weekend rates :D
pretz -so its been cold up north as well? it got to -3 the other night here. my car was really frosted over when I had to be up early for uni last tuesday. I HATE winter. OH that sucks about the DTD issues :( Yay for your newly pregnant friend! and bugger about the one who had the split.
sparkles -Vinny is about the same as Ty, doing circles around the floor. Sometimes wriggles backwards a little. Its suprising how much mobility he has already though and isn't crawling as such yet! Sorry he is such a crappy day sleeper. That would be hard. I hate it when V is unwell and cat naps, because I'm so used to like hour long day sleeps (or more).
vix -hun sorry you are having a rough patch with the feeding and all that. You are never a failure so please don't say that about yourself. You are a great mumma who loves her children and I think you do an amazing job considering the PND and all. Sorry to hear lil NJ has had the gastro bug. That is yucky. Hope he is better by now. Oh yay Jenny Craig! hope that it is awesome. I wish I could afford some sort of help in the body department.. Hate myself lately. But I have no motivation to do anything about it and I keep getting stressed about stuff and eating for comfort :(
Hi NIkki and everyone else
-
afm Went to BEndigo yesterday and stayed the night at my sisters.
I rang J yesterday to see if we could get together to chat about everything and he said he'd 'find out' and then let me know. He rang back (after consulting the queen no doubt) and said sorry can't do it today as I'm (quote) "NOT ACTUALLY HOME" ...........right.............. he was calling me off the HOME PHONE! Lmfao. Is he stoopid? Anyways he said he'd discuss things with me today before I drop V off.
But in the end V didn't go today. He was sooooooooooooooooooooooo clingy/cranky this morning (and a little last night) I could not put him down for 2 mins to pee without him cracking it and calling Muuuuuuuummmmmmmmm. So I rang J and said 'he is sick, he has a cold and is teething, so I think its a no go for today because he is not up for it' and he was all sarcastic like 'oh right, thats awesome, I guess i'll have to hope he feels better'.
Um, damn straight, you should care about him feeling better. He seriously thinks I was making excuses. But why would I have got V up and dressed into J's clothes to go there, and if he weren't really sick why would I have brought him home and declined going to the pool with my sister?
-
brydz - I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow :) had a scan at 6 weeks and saw a blob with a heartbeat haha going back to the doctors in a couple of weeks to get my referral for my 12 week scan, that's an exciting one coz it will actually look like a baby then lol
:rofl: at J not 'being home' what an idiot, hahahahahahahah. Sorry to hear he was being a smart Alec about it all, and I hope V feels better soon, Cooper has been exactly the same, he will sleep no worries if your holding him but the second you put him down he will cry and cry and cry and cry :shakehead: he's in his cot doing it now, I just wanna go to sleep :asleep:
Oooooh I think he might finally be gone :crossfingers:
-
Raffy - Happy 8 weeks today! Wow, can't believe you're 8 weeks already, time just seems to be going faster and faster! You'll be having this baby before we know it! lol Hope you're feeling better from your cold and that Coops gets better with his soon too! :hug:
Nikki - Sorry to hear that both your kidlets have a cough :hug: and that you had to go do grocery shopping, I remember how much you hate it! :computer: How are you feeling, hope you didn't end up having a blocked duct/mastitis!? Hope you enjoyed the wedding!
Brydz - Yes, it's been freezing up here too the last week. Especially in the mornings and evenings, although I'm the opposite to you and LOVE winter! lol :p I have 2 UTD friends now, another one just told me last night that she is 6 weeks with bub #2 too, so both of my girlfriends are due in January next year, one on 8 January, the other on 15 January. Making me feel VERY CLUCKY, but for the moment and until we try in September, going to enjoy my little man and having my boobs back to myself now that he's weaned! :lol: Sorry to hear J is still being a PITA and that Vinny is sick, hope he gets better soon! :hug:
Vix - I will phone you this week I PROMISE! If I don't get a hold of you, give me a call when you can and I can phone you back! lol It's nothing serious, just wanted to have a chat, say hello and see how you're doing! :hug:
AFM, had a girlfriend from work come over this morning and she just left, she has a 4 & 1/2 month old little boy and he is just starting to do rolly pollies - he is also soooo tiny and light, made me forget that Noah was once doing only rolly pollies too and light! lol Amazing how you can forget what they weren't all that mobile only a few months ago, when now they can't seem to STOP and you're always on the go to stop them from getting into EVERYTHING! lol :lol: I've joined up in the Pre-TTC thread again just to chat with a couple of girls on the road to TTCing again, but you girls are still my no 1 priority!
Love to you all!

Thanks pretz, I no what you mean I find it hard to believe I'm already 8 weeks as well. Only 12ish weeks til we find out if it's a boy or girl, that's what I'm most excited about lol, congratulations to your 2 friends who re UTD, if this bub is anything like Cooper I'll be giving birth in January to :) all the best with the pre - TTC thread, I have you guys and two belly buddies threads due to the fact I'm due late December and there is a good chance bub will come Jan,as I said before, I wanted to cover all possibilities lol. Omg I no what you mean regarding younger bubs, when our friends came down at Easter with their four month old I found it amazing how little and light she was and how little she could do lol, now here's Cooper laughing, sitting, rolling, crawling and he's only a few months older :)
-
I'm here, reading just busy trying to catch up from the weekend! Our room disappeared! We chucked all the crap in there on Saturday night and we th have a little path to the bed so we don't break our necks in the dark! lmao
xxxxx
-
Lol vix - sounds a bit like my room. Happy 8 months to miss alannah for tomorrow :confetti:
-
wow can't believe our Alannah is 8 months! we are creeping so quickly toward that big 1st birthday milestone!!
I haven't even given thought to what to do about birthday arrangements yet but I guess I will have to start considering the options soon. V is almost 7 months in a few days.
Nothing really new happening with him, same wriggling around, sitting up, teething those top teeth (none through yet) and being cheeky. He is VERY noisy, lots of growls and laughter and just noises.
No normal verbal words like mum or dad or anything, though he has been saying hello and hi/hey for a while and I SWEAR that yesterday he stopped playing looked up at me and said 'i love you'. I was gobsmacked, but it was very clear.
I am going alright, have to work tomorrow and sunday.
Things with J have improved slightly, he had him on Wednesday for the usual time and we got along fine at handovers and he even dropped him home 5 mins early which was good. I was a bit worried because he missed last weekend that he might keep him longer.
But I'm sure he knows that if he ever did, the consequences wouldn't be worth it.
He is having him tomorrow AND sunday. I know I said no to 3 days a week, but he did miss out last sunday because V was sick. And I am working both days.. so its not like I'm missing out on time with V, and he would have just been with my mum so why not go to his dads?
I still want to have a proper talk to him about feelings and all that. I think a lot of our problem is the personal emotions that are not dealt with. I need to be honest and straight up and explain that I'm not interested in him because i think he is scared I want more from him. I just want him to get along with me and trust me and let me do the same in return. We have to raise a child together. And its hard, and not what I wanted either but its our reality, we need to make the most of it..
-
Brydz - I'm glad you and J are slowly working things out and he isn't taking advantage of your generosity regarding Vs visits, I think talking to him about emotions and things like that is a great idea as I'm sure the tension is horrible :hug: hope work is good this weekend :)
OMG we have a crawler :o just this afternoon coopers decided to ditch his commando crawling and get up on all fours (which he's been doing for ages) and instead of just rocking back and forth he staring moving. Then df got home and had a cuddle and I said to put him on the floor and yep, he crawled for daddy, so then of course we had to get all the ILs on skype and what not lol, but I'm a super proud mumma, he's also saying hi, mumma and bubba, no dadda (sucked in daddy hehe)
-
Raffy - Wow only 12 weeks til you find out the sex of your bub!! :happydance: I can't wait to find out what you're having either, sooooooo exciting!!! :dance: Hope you have been feeling a bit better with the nausea and m/s the last few days. How's your cold and Coopers? Hope you're both getting better! Oh wow, WTG Coops on crawling! Noah has been getting up on all fours for about a week now and is constantly on all fours and doing the rocking backwards and forwards thing but haven't actually crawled....I'm sure it won't be long though! lol
Vix - Hello there! :hug: Were you able to find your bedroom yet? lol I have days like that too where everything just gets chucked anywhere in my room and it takes a few days before I tidy it up! lol Hope you're doing well!
Brydz - Glad to hear that things have been a bit better with you and J and that he also dropped Vinny off 5 minute earlier. ;) I hope that you and J can sit down and have a proper talk and get everything off your mind. How cute that he said "I love you" :dance: Noah only says "Hey" and "Boo" no mamama or dadada or anything like that here yet...lol I was actually just thinking about Noah's first birthday party today, was wondering what I should do... am thinking I'll just invite the girls from my Mummies group with their bubs and a few of my girlfriends with their bubs and we could have a sausage sizzle at a park or something!? lol I can't believe how quick the time has gone. I mean, Vinny as our youngest bub will be 7 months soon! Wow! It feels like just the other day we were all 7 months pregnant! lol
Nikki - Hello! :hug: Hope everything is well on your end!
AFM, on Monday arvo I had to go pick DH up as his truck broke down - it was the clutch which is costing us $6,500 to fix :angry:. Poor DH has been stressed out a bit because no truck meant no work. He was home Tuesday, Wednesday and yesterday, which wasn't entirely bad as he was able to help me finish a few things around the house so that's good. Noah has been sleeping really well lately and I'm one happy Mummy because I've been getting some really great sleep too, although I sometimes still wake and want MORE sleep! lol Noah did however wake at 5:10am this morning and because we had to go drop DH off at the mechanic for him to pick his truck up, Noah didn't go back to sleep and he only slept in the car for 15 minutes before we got home and he only usually lasts about 2 hours between naps, but he only went down for his nap at 11:10am and slept for 2 hours 35 minutes! He also had a late arvo nap for an hour too, which hardly ever happens!! lol My girlfriend (the one that is 7 weeks pregnant) came over for a visit with her little girl (8 & 1/2 months) today and it was great to catch up.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Love to you all!

Hey girls. Happy day after the end of the world day!! nice to see we're all still here.
ahahahaha. :shakehead: poor sad misguided religious folks that don't know what they are on about..
anyway.raffy that is awesome Coop crawled!! yay for him. and to do it on cue when daddy got home, that is a well trained baby!! hows the morning sickness? Yeah I'm glad he doesn't take advantage of my generosity. Yesterday when I dropped V off he was 20 minutes early. I worked, but mum said she was suprised they dropped him home at 20 to 6. So I was really pleased they did that. most people would have just kept him til 6 like I said to..
I still can't find the right time to have the personal feelings kind of chat. I have so much I need to say to him, but can't work out when or how.
pretz hey hun yeah things with J are okay at the moment I guess. I know, I couldn't believe he said I love you but it was so crystal clear! And this morning I said bub and he said 'bubba' awwwwwwwwwwwwww! first word other than hey and hello. Still hasn't said mum or dad yet (apart from the whiny calling out when crying mum).
I was so proud. :) haha I know! 7 months tomorrow. It feels like yesterday I was in labour. Or that I'd just peed on the stick. Time has gone way too fast. We will all have annoying teenagers in the blink of an eye. Hope we are all still in touch by then too, would be great.
I love this group of girls, you are all amazing! :)
I have to speak to J about Vinnys birthday, I really want a party ON his birthday as its his first, and its on a sunday. But I imagine J will want him for half the day. I'd prefer it if him and his family just came along to the party... Its his first one I think it should be special with everyone there together.
But I doubt that will happen. He wants everyone separate.
afm worked last night. I was buggered half way through. it was such hard work when the extra staffer was pretty useless. lovely girl but needed direction, and i couldnt really give any as it was my first official shift so i didnt know the routine either! haha. it was a longgggggg night. I was meant to have 30 mins for tea at 6pm. Didn't even get to sit down for 5 minutes until 9pm :( but it does go faster when ur busy.
Working in the same end tonight, I hope it goes a bit smoother. got different staff on. should be interesting.. the extra staffer is the mother of the girl I had issues with the other day (whos baby died).. I hope she is nicer than her daughter and treats me with respect.
-
Pretz - yes sounds like Noah will be on the move before you no it lol, I am feeling better, only have a runny nose now, ms is still going strong every morning without fail and nauseous during the day particularly if I have an empty tummy, so it rminds me to eat which is weird considering I feel so sick but alas it makes me feel better, sorry to hear about DHs truck, that sucks big time, nice that he was home a few days but :)
Brydz - yep still here so I guess this means we are going to hell :o I was saying to df yesterday I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at the moment when a full on believer didn't get taken to heaven hehe wow 20 to 6!! What tha? Maybe V was being grumpy so they couldn't wait to drop him off lol regarding the chat, maybe just ask J if you can talk to him ALONE and then just say the first thing that comes to mind, Make it clear how you feel and that the relationship you share is purely based on Vinnys care ect, that sucks about wanting a seperate party for Vs birthday, maybe discuss it with him anyway and see if there is a chance hes changed his mind, good luck at work tonight, I really hope that lady is nothing like her daughter and you manage to get plenty of sleep during the week a huge happy 7 months to Vinny tomorrow xx
AFM - ahhh so it seems everything always happens at once when we are concerned, and it's always based on money, or there lack of in our case, DFs rego and insurance is due, he needs a spare tyre and a proper car tune up, I also got a letter from the ATO the other day saying I owe them $314 from a tax return 2 years ago :o, a $317 dollar electricity bill, 2 x $80 phone bills, and 3 x loan repayments all due at roughly the same time, we are on a single income :doh: I was planning on selling my sister my car for $1000 (which is a bargain) but she needed dad to pay her back the money he owes her before she could pay me, fair enough, no probs, so mum tells dad that df and I are on struggle street and eating ham and cheese toasties every night just to get by, which sadly is true, coopers nappies and formula was far far far more important, so yesterday I got an email from dad saying he's GIVING me $1000 but with some conditions, 1. It's for me and Cooper, no snakes or lizards, fair enough. 2. I sell J (sister) my car, no worries, done, pending payment. And 3. DF never hits my dog again or we will have some major issues, say what :o I wrote back saying ok, and thanks, means a lot blah blah blah and that ive already given J the car I'm just waiting for her to pay me, but she knows the only reason why I'm selling it is that I need the money ect. He wrote back and said get the money asap coz she useless at repaying money. Then later last night I got a msg from J saying she's really sorry but due to the fact dad is no longer repaying her the money he owes her she can no longer afford to buy my car! What tha? So basically I'm effing ****ed off with my dad to the point of tears because:
A/ he thinks 'giving' me $1000 gives him the right to talk ***** about my fiancé who is nothing but kind, loving and caring and has gone out of his way to impress dad
B/ he understands I'm broke and selling my car to J so that I have the money I need, but refuses to repay her coz she 'doesn't deserve it'
So now I'm still selling my car for $1400 (still a bargain) and as soon as I've sold it he can have his $1000 back and shove it up his a$s!! I've gotten this far without his 'help' what makes him think I need it now. Grrrr vent over
-
raffy boo to your dad being a jerk like that. what was the part about DF all about? random condition to throw in for a personal gift of money... I hope you get all the bills sorted. It can be really hard. I can totally sympathise, Just in MAY may I've had to pay rates $250, electricity $150, nursing registration $115, Internet $40, Phone $45, plus my insurances $150, car loan $290 and mortgage $400 plus I haven't received them yet but am due to get the water (which will be around $200) AND the gas (about $50 I expect).
AND my car is wayyyyy overdue for its service (the amount of driving I do between uni and home and J's place is ridiculous.).
And all when my baby bonus ran out and I've had to go back to work. Luckily I'll be fine because I had $1000 worth of working credits with c/link so everything I've earnt this fortnight won't affect my pension :)
Luckily casual weekend nursing rates are pretty sweet. So in just 3 days work I'll be taking home about $800 I think. Get paid tomorrow ;)
Looking forward to having it all paid and then I guess just waiting for the next round.. haha.
Today I plan to apply for a job at the nursing home mum works at. I've only been back for 3 shifts where I am and honestly hate it. The staff are just so *****y and back stabby and ick, I get treated like a child by some. Thankfully last night was really good. The lady on was actually great to work with. However I don't trust her one bit she is of the 'up the bosses bum' persuasion. Yet she sat there and bagged the boss to me (I think she was baiting me to try and get me to say stuff she could dob on).
So yeah hopefully I can get a job in this other place and work with some new people. The mentality of staff where I am just does my head in!!
-
Brydz - oh apparently on my birthday df hit mum and dads dog, I don't remember it, but apparently it happened, anyway the reason why he hit her was coz we were feeding Cooper and she was trying to take his food off him :o umm so he's just suppose to let her do that without telling her off, grr it makes me so mad.
I really hope you get the job at the home, I've worked in places with people like that to and it does my head in, the live off the drama and b!tchiness. Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you :crossfingers:
-
Hey girls.
Sorry I haven't been around in a while. Took a bit of a step back from BB, then DH went back out west working, so I'm here with the 4 kids alone full time. Then the hard drive in my computer died!! Finally got it back today, after losing everything on it :( The first 7 months of Summer's life, gone. Naver been so greatful for facebook & glad I have so many photo's on there. So many are gone though. Personal ones. Oh well. You learn from your mistakes I guess.
Summer has just started crawling. She knows belly flopping is quicker though, so still mostly does that. She's getting a set of lungs on her! & bloody standing up! On the window sills, chairs, me. She's standing & its driving me mad!! :lol: Have to go lower the cot & the porta cot next time DH is home.
Still breastfeeding & in cloth. Started BLS at 6 months. Tried feeding her some avocado with a spoon yesterday & she didn't get it. She kept trying to take the spoon coz she's used to doing it herself. So I dumped it on the walker & let her have fun!
Having assessments done on DD2. Thinking she may have sensory integration disorder, or something along those lines. Also looking at getting DS checked out after the Occupational Therapist suggested it after DD2's assessment. Just from her observations of him in the waiting room.
Also finally have my house back in order. Only took 7 months! I can see my bedroom floor again & everything else is cleaned out. Lets call it a spring clean in autumn :lol:
Not much else to report I don't thiunk. Just flat out trying to keep up right now!
-
STANDING UP???????????!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG Alannah is the oldest and just rolls around on the floor and sits up to play. (We sit her up)
What is Sensory Integration Disorder? Is that like and emotional sensory disorder? I have a gf whos sone has that which basically means he does not know how to express himself and looses it so to speak in high stress situations even in an Easter hat parade as the whole activity of parading around with bunny ears on his head and everyone clapping and cheering was just too overwhelming for him. Apparently he ran away and hid. Poor fella.
My house is a bit like that too hun! and we are about to start a little reno job inside so more dust and crap! lol
AFM: MIssy just had her first Vegemite and Cheese sandwhich! I tried her on some bread yesterday (normally has toast) and she loved it so today, I made all three kiddies the same sandwhich! lol
Best go and clean up from lunch.
xxxxx
-
Vix - alannah will get there in her own time! Cooper is pulling himself up on everything which goes hand in hand with him falling all the time, wish he'd slow down lol
AFM - not much happening. Baby free tonight. Going out to a trivia night for the local footy club that friends play for :) had BT yesterday to go with my NT scan that is next Friday :hooray: I swear to god I can feel this bub moving already. Just have moments when I feel the 'flutter' who knows :dunno:
