Just so long as you don't start feeling crook again I think it is just your AF - or even ovulation doing it to you. Plus your Baby isn't so much of a baby anymore and I always started feeling clucky when they got to a certain age and were more like little people than little babies. And yep - 20mths between them. Lindsay was Feb 01, Erin was Oct 02 and Paige was June 04.
Oh yeah Cally, the books were massively reduced because it was just before they did another toy sale and I think they wanted to clean out the stuff they already had. Plus it looked like the boxed had been dropped on one corner too as it's a bit squished. Not sure if he will get it for Christmas or I will just pull out a few new books every now and then.
I forgot to say we are going to see the Banana's in Pyjamas LOL. Its part of the town Christmas celebrations and all it costs is a gold coin donation to get in. So I am taking the little two as the big two will be at school that day. It should be fun. Alister is super excited about it. And we are heading down Cally's way for 3 days too - leaving Sunday. We are off to Merry Beach, but because it's only a short trip I don't think I will manage a meet up.
MD - loving the hot stuff Av...woot woo..hot mumma! Can't wait to see pics of your new hairdo...I so want to get mine done soon. Always great for a pick me up...and you deserve one of those
Cally - I am still dying for that wooden Aldi stand but DH has said she has got enough...blah, blah, blah.... Might just ring the grandparents and see if they have something in mind for DD lol. Has that pesky tooth come thru yet? Hopefully everything settles when it does
Noni - Hows W sleeping and teething going? And I hope A is feeling heaps better. Loving your av too...another hot mumma!
Arte - I love that you used your grandmothers name...I bet she would have been even more pleased then she let on. My nans name is Norma and my grandma is Joyce...don't see those being used anytime soon lol
Ginger - how sweet of your boys to gang up against you already! Partners in crime lol
Cassius - I think every meal needs dessert and those footy players would have been just right num num num. You gave me a giggle about the market stall dream..although it would have been more a nightmare surely...hehe
MP - How was your melb trip? get what was needed accompolished
Oz - Z is just exerting her place in the family early on, shes got to beat the boys and the farting game now!
Trillian - nice work on the girls avs..might have to get mine tweaked a bit soon . And Bananas sounds awesome...hope A loves it and rocks out.
Thank you for all your congratulations...it has been a rough few months but we've gotten thru it and am going to continue to work on it. Esp during the next 8 hormonal months lol. I'm actually feeling not bad...night times after dinner are not pleasant however. I think I'm getting my heartburn/reflux super early on, bit of discomfort but not too bad. Haven't been to the doctor yet, but will go next week perhaps and ask for a scan. Not that i don't know the dates but just cos I want a pic so its more real.
S has been an absolute feral lately. She cracked the worst tantrum ever on tuesday and I ended up having to close the door on her and leaving her in her room to cry herself to sleep. I knew she was super tired but she was refusing everything, I don't think even she knew what she wanted. She only lasted about 10mins tops of screaming before I found her passed out on the floor. I felt terrible having to do it, but I just had nothing else up my sleeve to please her.
Hi to anyone I missed and fingers crossed for a great nights sleep all round to all
MD - Yayyy for getting your hair done, always makes you feel good about yourself.
Trill - Banana's will be great, A will love it! Gosh you would have been one busy busy mama when your eldest 3 were younger.
Clare - Awww you poor thing, nothing worse than getting your hopes up only for evil AF to bring you right back down again. I so know that feeling & its horrible. I hope you get your bfp soon.
Arte - Thats lovely that you used your grandma's name, i'm sure she was very pleased.
Ginger - Something tells me you wont be able to wait that long for #3!!!
Noni - Hope A is better soon, must have a gastro bug??
Oz - It always puzzles me how they can be up at the crack of dawn running a muck with seemingly endless energy!!
Girls I got tickets to Hi 5's concert next yr, M will be very impressed. I also took her to the dr today, as she has had a horrible cough for two wks that isnt budging & I actually had a lady at the shops say to me 'that child should be in hospital', much to my horror. I quizzed the dr as to why M can catch a common cold & end up with such a terrible sounding persistent cough. Turns out it is probably asthma related, it is in my side of the family, asthma nearly killed my sister as a child & my mum also has it. This child of mine is in the wars I tell you.
MM, poor Maddie! She really does seem to catch everything going! Is there any sort of immune booster suppliments that you could give to her?
Kate, W has been shut in his room on a regular basis lately. I hate doing it but we have nothing else - don't want to hit him and I can't think of any other form of punishment. He has 1-2 minute time outs in there during the day, and if he keeps coming out of bed at night and tantruming then we leave him in for 5ish minutes at a go, then check on him. I don't really think it is the right thing to do, but we are so stuck for ideas.
Trill, I have tried to explain to W that if he squeals that A will wake and we won't be able to play just the two of us. So far it has been met every time with... another squeal. Grrr.
Cally, where is your Avvy? I have been waiting to see it. Some emails got lost in the server change over too, so if you have sent the email but no reply it might be lost in the ether.
OMG, W just shut his door and then locked it (should have replaced the stupid lockable knob ages ago). Now he is stuck in there. DH is on his way home but it is looking like we will have to break the door down. I heard yawning before and nothing since, so I think he has gone to sleep.
MM, pm me when you buy your shares in chemmart (I already own 49% of the company). I reckon if we get together we'll have a big enough interest to launch a corporate takeover
OK, back from hairdresser - looks fabulous (I think) but I'm a little disappointed because she baulked at doing my hair all over - thinks my scalp might still be too sensitive. So I've got luuurvely foils all over blond and a big splash of copper near the front. Just not as blond and suntanned as my avvy LOL.
Arte I replied in your other thread, sorry but I'm sitting her cacking myself laughing at the hilarious irony - after all the torment you went thru to get him sleeping in his own bed, that first opportunity he gets alone in his room and he's in there in BED asleep .
Ah, can't remember a thing, someone asked a q that I was going to answer but I'd better nick off, taking Bosty Fluffychops for his radical poochy makeover. I've taken the before photos already.
hi girls
just got back from taking the boys swimming. they had an absolute ball.
i don't wanna jinx things, but has anyone else noticed their toddler seems to have turned a bit of a corner behaviourly? lewis has been such a pleasure over the last couple of weeks. seems to be listening a lot more and really starting to grow up- not as much of a destructive monster iykwim?
Arte - has DH fixed the locks now? At least he went off to sleep while locked in his room. Re Avatar, I haven't sent anything in yet, I've started drafting the email, but I tend to check BB at work and for some unknown reason think that I need to send the email from my home address so I keep forgetting.
Md - are you going to put photos up of the new you?
kate - Oh, grandparents for the market stall, should check if MIL has bought anything yet.
MD, I know!! I was thinking the same - after all the dramas he just hopped in bed while I was on the phone to DH and went to sleep. No bottle, no glow-bug, no hotwater bottle, just sleep! Bet your hair looks great. I wish I had the courage to do something cool with mine. I was going to suggest that MM go to your naturopath, but then I remembered that they are sunning themselves in the tropics on your coin lol
Ginger, we are the opposite here. W was never destructive and disobedient until the past couple of months. It is a huge shock to the system because he was always so pleasant and well behaved before - well, he still had tantrums but at least he did what I said and didn't break stuff.
hi everyone
hurray - my laptop is baaaaack - so you will see so am I!!!
MD - woo hoo on the hairdo - pics on our fb page please! i dont think i ever said a huge contrats on your scan results - i am so delighted for you.
Arte - lol at the story though i can imagine how scary it was at the time, i lost sight of N for about 30 secs the other day (and he was with his great aunt playing) and i freaked - had that heart thumping panic feeling.. can only imagine the feeling when you realised he had locked the door
MM - poor Maddie. how did they diagnose the asthma? dont freak too much about it. we are investigating this for N too, just bc he has had a bad cough (only at night) for about 2 wks now (otherwise fine) and i had childhood asthma - it usually takes a long time to get a diagnosis...
Cally - I'll be at the coast again ina couple of weeks.. in mollymook this time so not so easy... but maybe we can meet at the zoo or something as i am sure we will make a trip there at some pt.
Ginger - cluck cluck cluck...
N is pretty delightful atm... aside from days here and there (like yest LOL). he has never beena major tantrumer - touch wood! he is getting v daring physically though...
We tried J on solids this morning - jus ta little bit of bellamys rice cereal and apple, he didnt wolf it down but liked it i think... it was fun to do esp as it was while the 3 of us were having our breakfast.
I went to the nurse this morning - a few concern re J. his sleep has gone down the drain - he wakes about every 90 mins overnight and i feed back to sleep... but he self settles in the daya nd when he goes down at night. she suggested i up his calorie intake in the day to see if this helps so trying to get more bf into him and she also said to do another solid feed (he took 1 tsp lol) around lunch time in the next little bit and see how that goes... she thought i may be needing to eat/drink more too... hmmmmm
also he has v stiff arms/legs so she has referred me to a physio about that... i brought it up bc he isnt rolling... i guess slow like his bro! she said she wouldnt worry about that for aniother month.. anyway will do more to encourage that!
hope you are all well... will keep up more now i promise! xxx
MM - Woohoo on the Hi 5 tickets. That sounds great and a betcha M will be shakin her groove thang!
Arte- It does feel terrible having to do it but I can't think of any other way when she behaved like that. Hopefully its a one of but...doubtful . OMG, how scary would that have been!!! Sarahs little friend locked herself in our toilet and I had now way of getting her out. Eventually grabbed a butter knife and started stabbing the lock bit and trying to turn it that one. Luckily it worked cos there was now way we could of gotten her otherwise. The window is tiny and has those little glass slats and its too small a room to break down the door. Must find a key to keep handy for it JIC.
MD - Did Bosty Fluffychops enjoy the hairdresser as much as you did?
Ginger - Oh I wish S was behaving. Shes a good kid usually but when she cracks it, she really cracks it!
Cally - How'd you go hitting up the MIL? I was sh*t outta luck. The olds had already brought her stuff...oh well, hopefully something just as cute or better is available when I start thinking about S 3rd bday!
MP - Wow, J on solids already. Where does the time go? I hope all is well at the Physio
Kate-oh my goodness, congrats I just saw ur signature with the BFP!! I am so excited for u. I am due end of July so I am really happy someone in my original thread is about the same wks! Good on ya!!!
MD-LOVE ur new av. its very u! Good stuff. I hope u r coping ok.
AFM: been struggling with a bit o' ms. Should b getting ready for work today. MIL has T today, so I should get going.
G we too seem to be the opposite behaviour wise, L is a good boy usually but lately has been quite trying lol, it doesnt help that he gets up so early so I am less tolerant.
MD your hair sounds great, I would love a trip to the hairdressers.
Arte gosh that would have been scary but I had a little giggle too sorry.
Supa bummer about the ms hopefully it passes quickly.
MP oh solids already, they grow top quickly.
MM nice work with the hi 5 tickets, I can see M dancing up a storm now.
I dont know if you seen my latest FB status with the message to L from Santa? You should all do one I think it's awesome. Not sure if I can post the link here or not.
Arte: i woulda totally freaked when i couldnt of opened his door!! that said, our neighbour is a locksmith...and has already had to open the front door for us LOL!
SupaB: hopefully the morn.s will pass quickly for you!
MM: so they are pretty certain that she has asthma? poor wee thing, but i guess at least it could provide some answers and plans of action for when she is getting sick.
MP: wow! J on solids!! cannae believe it! is it true that now they have changed the recommended age of solids back down to 4 months? a girl in my MG was told this at her MACH nurse meeting last week.
Ginger: yeah, we have noticed Leila has kinda turned a corner behaviour wise. we had a few *interesting* months of tantrums and the like, and although she has her moments or off days there is a change in that her communication and imaginative play is keeping her a bit more balanced mood wise. she now disappears into her room for well over an hour at a time to play with her dollies or trains. and it is a joy to hear her chattering away and obviously having a ball!
MD: how did fluffychops go?!!
AFM: all good here overall. we went to the neighbours last night and didnt get home til 9pm. Leila coped really well and just played and played and played. the little boy has just turned 3 and has HEAPS of cars!! but her fav toy was the john deere ride on tractor that he had, so funny to see her getting around on it LOL!
decided to take the day off work as i have a pretty full on head cold ATM and thought it would be good to have a day to veg out and try to kick it...
Cassius - oh u lucky duck having the day off, isn't it a great feeling bumming around. had a few of these days lately. i have a bit of a head cold too. must b goin' round. T too loves cars trucks, frogs and lizards ha ha.
Ozstar - thanks. what's ya FB name?
Arte - i would have freaked out too! you would have taken the door off eventually hey. i was wondering the other day what i'd do if DD locked herself in the car with the keys in there. yikes! will have to start teaching her how to 'unlock door'. ha ha.
MM - asthma. gee, how can they tell?
MP - 4 months already! wow little J is growing up!
Clare hope your head cold passes soon. Are you all vegged out?
both kids are in bed and the house is soooo quiet. I should be in cleaning up the studio as I have two jobs tomorrow. I thought of something this morning I wanted to ask your opinions on and for the life of me I cant remember what it was lol, dont you hate that. It will come to me I am sure.
. Might just ring the grandparents and see if they have something in mind for DD lol. Has that pesky tooth come thru yet? Hopefully everything settles when it does
num num num. You gave me a giggle about the market stall dream..although it would have been more a nightmare surely...hehe
. And Bananas sounds awesome...hope A loves it and rocks out.
Just not as blond and suntanned as my avvy LOL.
