Morning all

Arrrrgggg ive woken up with a sore throat. Dont you hate that.:doh:. Callum seems back to his own self which is good, meds must be working, Liam is abit better too, his eyes still watering but off his bottles and just wants to sleep. But thats what our bodies need when we sick.

Im glad your feeling better Kristy. Oh ill be starting Liam on food at 6 months. He is watching me big time eat and if I let him he would try and grab it. I might evern give him alittle before. Ill see how it goes. Callum started abit before 6 months. I got your text too about the xmas party and yes we will be there. I know you said you will supply everything but Id like to bring some thing. Just let me know. I could do a salad.??? Are we doing pressies for the kids?? Just let me know what you want me to do or get!! Wow Kristy your good. All that work. Good on you. Im not doing much today as im not feeling the best either. Ive done one load of washing and cleaned the toilet ( as Callum keeps missing and getting it all over the toilet and floor) washed the bathroom floor and put some washing away. That is all im doing today. Going to finish my book. Callum at school and hoping they dont call me to go get him. Im sure they wont. He is alot better.

Tannis yes that is just the older men that are sooooooks.....lol;) Dont tell my DH I said that..hehehe:shhh: Oh my DH and DD want a Wii but forget it. DH wants IQ TOO ON THE FOX but ive told him if the phone bill gets down and stays that way for 3 months then ill get it but now im thinking no as ive been adding up the bills and boy we have lots.....lol

Thanks kell hun. They are getting abit better so that is good. Just very lucky Liam is good and not screaming the house down. Oh my boy is such a good boy. I some times think some thing is wrong with him cause he IS so good. I know there isnt he is just good. I like my ILS too as they always do things to help out. Oh take a photo of Keira's outfit. I want to see.

Well better head off. Hi the rest of you ladies and man....hehehehe

Hi guys

went to work for a couple of hours this morning, came home and took DS to the docs, and DH then went to work. He's getting bloody pneumonia again - arghhhh - thats why he is such a miserable little thing.

Stuff the diet - I need chocolate!!!

RE: solids - 6 months at least. But when she is ready - after 6 months ;)

Tenny - glad the move went ok honey :hug:

Missy - hope your boys are improving quickly!! Nothing worse than two kids sick at the same time..

Kristy - You are supermum I think..... we should all bow in your presence.. ;)

Better go put dora on for the boy.. he's hassling me..

Kristy.. Kmart.

Missy.. oh noooooooooo! drink some honey and lemon if you can. Might help. Glad to hear the boys are on the mend. Jesse's eye use to always water, even when not sick and he hadnt been crying. Youd just see a tear through the day. He out grew it when i was around 12 months or so... but now even when hes sick he will get a tear here and there out of his eye still. Oh i will take one.. when i can be bothered lol.

Mel.. oh no poor thing.. hope he picks up soon.

lol.. re house work.. im doing diddly squat! Thursday is going to be my cleaning day as we have an inspection Friday morning.. but the house is pretty tidy usually so hopefully wont take long.

Ooow my kid's Christmas sacks arrived today.. they look soooo cool!!!!! Will take a pic. They have their names on them.. plus one blank for baby #3. Also ordered Keira's christmas ball today at Myer.. so hopefully that will be ready next week sometime.

I'm back

kell- where did you get your Xmas sacks from. i don't think Target will be getting mine again this year.....grrr

Cake is cooked

Hmmm.. and also.. Jesse loves Santa.. well the ones in pictures.. he is sheeeeiit scared of the real ones.. gonna be fun with christmas photos this year! :rolleyes:

Kel... what if you have twins next time round. :o

LOL

Arimeh sorry DS is so sick. Its horrible isnt it. Hope he and all our kiddies get well soon.;)...lol @ the twin comment.

Kell yes im going to make one soon. Oh love the sacks hun. So cute.

kristy you are the supper mum...lol:clap:


Well kids asleep for the night , (I hope) and im going to finish my book now. Might be back later but dont think so as im going to be starting the next book...heheheh:lol:

Mel.. SHHH! Dont jinx me now woman!!! Oh lordy if i had twin.. eh dont even wanna think about it!!!!!!!! Haha.. NO! im not going to have twins.. im just not! lol

Missy.. enjoy your book!

Missy/Kristy.. are we doing something this Friday? I have an inspection between 8.30-9.30am so anytime after is fine for us.

Well ive kinda just realised ive been getting side effects from the pill im on. The past 2 months both times i ovulated i had diarrhoea.. and now as ive got my period, ive got it again. No reason otherwise any of the times. Ive been getting what i suspected to be migrains but not like my normal migrains. Anyone who suffers Aura migrains will know what i mean when i say you lost your vision and get like shimmering lights. Well ive been getting what looks like some has taken a photo with a flash, just constantly in my vision. Ive also been suffering really bad anxiety lately. Id been getting cramps in my feet. I constantly feel fatigued, even though both my kids are sleeping through and im getting 8 hours sleep at least each night. Up until tonight i didnt think much of it, but when i research the pill im on, theyre all side effects and effects others have experienced on this pill. Not to mension pimples that i dont normally get. So am going to go back to my doctor on the weekend when DH is home and get something different.. not good!

hey-

actually kell now you mention it i was gunna chat to Dr palmer about the pill also. as i suppect im having side affects too i know we take the same pill. for me its making my excema flair up bad just when i'm due too, & im getting lethargic also . on the up i think it has helped to improve my labido. AF is due tomorrow and im feeling a little off balance tonight and i think i was last month too, but i'm not sure.
something friday sounds good. Oh also i called Target today and asked about my santa sacks and the lady seems to think that they came in allready but might not be on the shelf, but if not than i will either try to get them made or if thets too expensive i'll sell the one i have and buy 3 new ones, but i just love the one i have.

hehe twins kell, a boy and a girl. :dance: it would be cool. i used to cut a womans hair and she had 2 children they decided to have just ONE more and they had THREE yep triplets two Identical and a faternal. hehe it could happen. to any of you thinking of more hehe :lol::lol:

I didn't end up getting my room clean, but DH did do some more gardening when he got home. there is so much to do before the christening.

xoxoxo

Evening everyone. :)
Third time lucky with this post. Geez.
One time my computer chucked a spazz, then next time I was on DP's computer and there were datebase errors. WTF??
Anyways...

Kell - Those santa sacks are cuteeeeee. You reminded me that I need to get Bubbablue one. I might get DS1 a new one too so they're similar and not odd. I like to be matching. I didn't know you guys were having another. Any ideas when you'll start trying? Sorry if that's too nosey. Just tell me to stfu if it is. Lol @ twins. I'm a twin so hopefully I'm safe from that cause don't they say it skips generations? ... that's also if we have anymore.
What brand pill are you? Oh geez! Those side effects sound so scary.

Mel - Your poor little munchkin. I hope he's alright. How's everything going with your DD? :hug:

Missy - Awh. Liam sounds like such a brave little angel. I hope you all get better. What books are you reading? I just restarted a book for the 3rd time. I have periods when I read heaps then I just don't read any so I lose what's going on and have to start again. I'm reading one of Patricia Cornwell's books from her Scarpetta series.

Kristy - You totally are a supermum! I don't know how you do it. How'd the cake go?
Yeah, men and moving.. it's like they think it's all over red rover when the lifting is done... pssh, like hell it is. I basically packed and unpacked everything while trying to deal with the kiddies all at the same time. It's no wonder I forgot to eat that day. Lol.
I couldn't imagine having to put my kids names down at any school when they're first born. It's so hard (and daunting) to imagine them grown up.

Tan - Big school is scary. I'm going to be more nervous then him I think. I was freaking out this year when he started preschool and that's only just one day a week. Imagine what next year will be like.. but then I think it'll give Bubbablue and I special time together without DS1. The years have gone so fast. :(

:hello: Pixie, Bear, Tasia, Mez, SW, Feeb, Belle, Zee, and anyone I might have accidentally missed. I hope you all are going great.

Today Bubbablue has been a bit off. He's been whinging constantly and wants to be held, but then after a while starts whinging while being held. He was fighting sleep all day and would only nap for the most of 10mins a couple of times. I was all calling DP crying about it all and he did offer to come home, but I just sucked it up and we went for a long walk and eventually he went to sleep. He didn't whinge at all in the pram.
For a change DS1 was a good boy today and on our walk he got some cool feathers.
It was good all round - I got my fat ass some exercise, while trying to settle Bubbablue, with DS1 being a good boy. Lol.

Hope you all have a great night and even better day tomorrow.

I've tried to change my ticker so many times and the silly picture won't change for me. It shows it's changed at lilypie but then here it has the old one. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
xoxo.

Kristy.. ah no i dont think so. 1 only.. im no Jon & Kate Plus 8 thanks! Though maybe i could do an australian version and get lots of money doing it :lol: Oh cool re the sacks. Yeh see i got AF the other day and i still had one of the main tablets to take.. weird. But yeh im gonna go see her on the weekend, stopped taking them now cos theyre just bad bad bad!

Tenny.. its Yasmin. No youre not nosey.. um well DH wants a similar distance between Keira and the next as there is Jesse and her.. so i guess that means about Septemberish next year. Oh :hug: hun. Silly Hayden. Maybe that might be what he likes? have you tried putting him in the pram at home when hes been unsettled and just rocked him in that? Glad the walk put him to sleep though, and Elijah was a good boy for you!

Tennykins- last time we moved we got packers, two guys pack our entire house up in 2 hours and not one thing got broken.
next time (if there is one)i will get them to unpack aswell you just tell them where to put thing and off they go. if you dont like it you can re-arrange it later but at least all the hard stuff is done.
and the cake has turned out great it weighs almost 2kg :lol:. its wrapped and in a container ready to be iced next week or so. this cake can keep for up to 3 months if stored properly. i need to google to get some fondant ideas for decorating.
Glad your day turned out ok in the end i hate days when they don't sleep. hopefully both will sleep tonight and late into the morning for you.

xoxox

as you can see im a little bored so im just hanging around BB and surfing the net.

Hey folks
We had a pretty hectic weekend :rolleyes: but we survived. Picked up the car and pretty much drove all weekend.... stopped in to visit SW on the way home from melbourne which was great. Got some very cute pics of Alyssa & Beth playing together... which I'll post somewhere.. at some point. Alyssa has the best hair - she's sooo cute.
Kristy - you inspired me - I baked a cake yesterday... it was just a sultana teacake, it turned out ok but I think the next time will be better. It took about two hours though cause Beth kept wanting attention while I was trying to make it.
Tenny - great news about your move - hope you love the new place!
Kel - bummer about the side effects from Yasmin. I have seen online that some people have bad reactions to it.
Zee - how did the IVF doc go hon?
Mel - hope your boy gets better soon
Anyhoo, plumber is turning up any minute so better scoot
:hello: to Belle, Missy, Tasia and everyone

OMG I feel like shyte. I have woken up with a headach and a cold. Not to mention AF came on Monday too. Bloody kids giving me their colds. Callum just got up and Liam woke at 6.30. Liam had all his bottle of 150mls as I lowerd it as he wasnt drinking all the 200mls so now might up it again. He is at my feet in the bounce a net bouncing like a crazed baby and smiling at me big time. I think he is back to his self.

I am meant to go to a friends house and really should but will have to see how I feel after a shower.


Oh kell loving my book hun. I finished it and started the next. oh you poor thing re the pill. Hope you sort it out. Will have to see how I feel friday hun. What you thinking of doing??

Kristy yay on the cake and good day you had yesterday. Might see ya this week. Hope you sort out your pill too.

Tenny oh poor little bubba. Dont you hate it when you dont know what is wrong with them. Ive had a couple of days like that but am putting it down to his needles. Yay on the walk. I also go through stages with reading. Ill read for abit then nothing for heaps. Besides this book I hadnt picked up a book in probably 9months or longer. The last book I read was Mary Higgins Clark " Two Little Girls In Blue" but havent finished it yet....lol. Im reading "Twilight "by Stephenie Meyer well finished that one and now reading "New Moon "now. Its about Vampires. Love things like that.

Yay Pix on the car. glad you got to cook as well.

Ok off feeling crap

bbl

Morning!

Missy.. oh you poor thing. I hope youre feeling better soon. Yeh totally, make sure you are better first. Oh no idea.. havent really thought about it.. who knows what the weather is going to do. Keiras still on 150mls. If she finishes it then i just go get her another 50mls. Usually only of her last night bottle and maybe her 2nd of the day does that ever happen. Glad youre enjoying your book. I dont like reading. But good you can fit it in with 2 kids :)

Pixie.. good to hear about the car.. is it good?

Zee.. howd the IVF go? And when are you moving into your house?

Mel.. hows A this morning?

Mez.. hows Izzy going now with settling hun?

Anyone heard from Jessica? Hope shes doing well.

Ok i best get dressed.. been paid today woo lol so gonna go get some stuff!

Have a great day!

Morning all..

sooo sleepy.. aricyn woke up every half an hour last night.. so we are buggered!!! I can see his back molars coming though - so hopefully they will be through soon.

Pixie - so jealous you got to see SW - :(

Missy - hope you feel better soon. Glad that liam is back to normal. I'm a huge reader - just never get time to do it!!!

Kel - have fun shopping!!

Tenny - she's like the perfect baby - think she makes up for her whingy, sick brother. Glad you got out into the fresh air - can't do that here at the moment - keeps raining!!!

Well DD is asleep - DS is on my lap wrapped in his elmo blanket and is looking through some books - at least he isn't whinging!!!

Have a good day all!!!

Morning all :cheer:

Missy - Oh hun I really do hope that you feel better real soon. I hate when you're sick and still have to do everything around the house and look after the kids too.... :hugs:

Kell - your Christmas sacks for the kids are gorgeous, what a great idea. What a great idea about the Christmas ball too.. I might have to go and check it out do they do all colours? Isabel is doing really well with her sleeping now, will sleep 1 - 2 hours each time during the day for us and at night will sleep from around 8:30pm to 5am, would like for her to sleep till 7am but really don't know how to make her do that! Kell Jess is doing really well as is Georgia, she us just really busy lately so not on line much.

Mel - Oh hun I really do hope that A gets better soon, I feel for you getting up so many times during the night. I freak out when I have to get up at 5am to put the dummy back in Izzy's mouth just so I can get another 1hours sleep lol.

Tenny - Yay on moving into your new home sweet, when we moved we got packers and they even put all the furniture in our house which was great!! Isabel is getting whingy too it must be the age.

Pixie - woohoo on picking up your new car sweet, I hope the BEAR enjoys his new car.

Kristy - you are such a great mummy, you manage to do so much and all with 3 kids you are definitely super mummy in my eyes. When is the twins Christening??? Can't wait to see their cake!!

I don't remember who asked about solids but I'm planning on asking my MCH next time we go for our appointment but I would like to start Isabel before Christmas as she is looking at us eating and when we go to give her some she opens her mouth (cheeky little monkey). Oh and yesterday she rolled from her back to her tummy and her daddy got to see it too before going to China today for work again... We have booked in Isabel's 4 month immunisations next Wednesday which I'm not looking forward too poor little darling..

Howdy doo..

Wow its been quiet in here lately!

We went and had our Santa photo done today! Woo! Thank goodness its over for another year lol. Jesse loves santa.. but only those in the pictures, not real ones. So didnt tell him what we were doing.. mum gave Keira to Santa to hold.. he didnt see santa so i just went and picked him up out of the pram, walked over to Santa and sat down on the seat next to him (with Jesse on my lap). Jesse didnt see him at all. Then he turned around and started to freak out a little, but the ladies were excellent and actually got a photo with all 3 of us (me, Jesse & Keira) smiling!
Ok just uploaded it : Santa Photo

Mez.. yeh i think its a great idea with the Christmas balls. We started it when Jesse was born, have one for mum, dad, Jesse and now Keira. With Jesse's and Keira's we got their birth year put on the back also.

Mum's leaving tomorrow and honestly, it couldnt come too soon. Ive so had enough.

Ok will be back later.. have a turkey in the oven...

A turkey in the oven?? what are you doing with my son down there in an oven..lol.. (he really is a bit of a turkey...)

Great pic too kel, absolutely stunning, such a beautiful family (you are so not EVER meeting my ugly mug.. lol)

Mez - just you wait - could be your turn if Iz isn't a good teether!! I'm hoping that Miss M is a good teether - I can't do this again for another 18 months!!!!!!

Hmm.. DS is trying to trash a coffee cup.. ahh well... just joins the rest of the pigsty of a house!!!!

Miss M is very cheeky at the moment - fell asleep on her last bottle - and then only had a cat nap - so will probably fall asleep on her next bottle too.. tsk tsk... ;)

helloooooo
just got home from shopping with mum. still cant find the santa sacks i want but i asked the mannager of target and she seems to think that early december they expect more stuff to arrive. but i found a lady (friend of mums) to make the ones i like if i cant get them i would just have to buy the material and fluffy stuff. so yay...

kell- i have yet to have house guests after the twins. i can imagine it would be stressful esp with AF here :lol: i'm a crank today Grrrrr...my poor mum.

oh had a fight with big W today, mum wants to buy my sister A dvd box set they are advertising. anyway we asked the lady to find it (it went on sale 2 days ago) turns out its on the backdock still. and they said it would be too hard to find it. so i said fine can i have a rain check to come back. they said no so i got so cross, with them i spoke to the manager and no he also said i couldn't have one. Grrrrrr. told them that its advertised in the catalog that started a fer days ago and that they have to have it for me according to the ACCC guidlines or give a rain chech, but he still said no, he wouldn't help. so i have just sent an email to ACCC and also a complaint letter to Big W head office with a coppy of the letter i wrote to the ACCC hopefully i get a reply. bastards messed with the wrong mumma.

Oh no bubba crying better c whats wrong BBL

xoxox

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Kell - Your santa photo is awesome. I love it! I hope they have Santa photos here. I'm not fully sure yet if they have them here at the same place as the last few years. I hope so. Re: Pill. Oh ok. I've got the same one as I have had for years. Levlen ED or whatever it's called. OoOo Turkey for dinner. I can't believe your mum goes there and doesn't help out. WTF is with that?

Kristy - That's great that a friend can make you cute santa sacks. Good luck with BIG W stuff. That's shocking.

Mez - Great to hear Izzy is sleeping better for you. Wooohooooo!!!

Feeb - YAY Jacob for being an angel while you were at your Christmas lunch. I hope he starts sleeping better for you. :hug:

Mel - I'm glad your DD is going great. What a sweetie pie! Hope DS is feeling better. Lol @ trashing a coffee cup. Boys, aye.

Pixie - I hope the new car is going great. Can't wait to see the pics of Beth and Alyssa. I'm glad your trip went safe and well.

Missy - :hug: I hope you're feeling better soon. I'm glad Liam is back to his normal self.

Zee - How's it all going? You saw your IVF doctor? Sorry, I was away for a bit so I'm a little behind.

:hello: everyone else.

YAY! Bubbablue is back to his normal self today.
I think we'll start soilds soonish too. My mum mentioned stuff about it today. We'll see.
Not much else going on. DS1 has been annoying me extra today. He so knows it too. Such a cheeky little chicken!

Prob get our needles done this week too. I need to get my second Gardasil one and Bubbablue needs his next lot aswell.

xoxo

Ok back.
Turkey turned out great!!!! mmmmmm! Was soo good.. with baked veges!

Mel.. haha.. would you like a thigh or one of his wings? Oh cmon ugly mug? thats a bit far from the truth woman!

Kristy.. are you able to get it at another BigW? How long does the sale go for?

Feeb.. have added you now hun. Good to see you btw! Hope the sleeping improves for you soon.

Tenny.. yeh hopefully you can get one done. If not youll just have to dress your boys up and take some pics :) Yeh i think ive taken that one before and gave me lots of migrains. Im gonna go back on Estelle which is a cheap version of Diane. I never had any probs with that last time i was on it. Good to hear Hayden is his old cute self. Oh i know.. i just know im not going to be like that with my kids. I'll always offering my help to them.

Thanks for the santa comments :) I was so pleased with it.. just that both kids are smiling was great... and well that jesse was in it! I thought this year i may have only had Keira at one stage! So its made my year!

Ehh im soooo buggered.

wow so quiet here...

today we are going to get Isaacs Eyes tested. we suspect he has a lazy eye, i had it and so did DH and it is hereditary.
We might have a go at our santa pics too. yesterday at rouse hill he waved to santa and was happy to say hello so i am hoping he will be ok today. we didn't get the pics yesterday as the rouse hill santa was so budget looking.

kell- i will have a look in our Big W for mum today but i was so cranky about how rude they were. whats happening on friday, I'm grounded :redface: hehe i totally blew out our budget this month. so it will have to be cheap. what about that play thing in blacktown the free one.

Feeb- good to see you again. its tough when they wont sleep much. i was just saying to DH that this is about the same time we started to have problems withIsaac sleeping.
what is your plan? i ask cause we are having problems with Caleb sleeping too, well just getting him to sleep once asleep he is fine. with isaac i think what ended up working in the end was to just let him cry for 5 mins than go back in resettle and comfort than leave again if he sries than do the same again. i remember on time it took about 4 hours of this. :wall:i just remember not picking him up too just hold hands, pat, talk too etc. hope you get more sleep soon.

Pixie- oh i love saltana cake, and i love to bake too. since i cant eat the christmas cake i might make another cake this arvo. i decided not to make our christening cake but i will make the birthday ones.

Missy- i just wanted to say your joke email's just crack me up love the christmac one.hahahaha.....

well i better run, get ready to go out have to BW my hair and look a bit better than usual just in case i have to be in the santa pics too.

yake care, and i hope all the sick bubbas are feeling better soon

xoxoxo

Morning all!!

Kristy - who are you taking Isaac to? An optometrist or another specialist? I just ask cos I have to get DS checked out too.

Kel - yup its ok, I've made my peace with the fact that I have an ugly mug.. BUT.. at least its not as ugly as my butt... pmsl!!!!

Anyhoo.. ;)

Tenny - yup boys trash everything!!!!!! ouchie with the needle - I don't even know if they offer it to women my age yet - but I don't want it anyway!!!!

Hi Feeb - i'm glad you had a nice lunch - and that Jacob was well behaved!! Sooo much easier to have a nice time when the kids aren't cracking it.

Hellloooo to everyone else.. it has been VERY quiet in here lately...

Well DS slept through last night - woot!! Think he was up at 5.30 though - came into our room and just drank some water that we had in there - and played with his nurofen bottle.. lol... thank GOD it has a childproof lid... I think we managed to haul our butts outta bed around 6am - after DS was going "mummy... no night nights... mummy..." yup, I got the hint child - I'll remove my head from my pillow...

Miss M decided to start chatting at 3am this morning, it was quite amusing.. just started chatting, not crying or anything, or wanting anything in particular, just chat chat chat.. lol.. we live in an old house, so there was probably someone visiting her and come for a chat!!!! DH just ended up going in and putting the dummy in her mouth and she fell back to sleep - funny little thing. She woke up around 7am - and is just chilling in her chair at the moment.

I was supposed to take her to the clinic yesterday - but the clinic nurse got sick. I want to get her head checked out cos it looks a bit of a funny shape.

Anyhoo - whingy toddler pulling at me.. gotta go!!!

Good morning ladies & Bear :)

How r we all today?
Mel- That's good that ur DS slept through last night, but not good that he came into ur room. Jonathan is a chatter as well gotta love it though hehehe. Wat's wrong with DD head?

Kristy- I hope Isaac's eye will be ok, my neice has a lazy eyes & so does my friend. I thought Jonathan had it, cause it looked funny few months ago but he's fine. I'm Jonathan to take his photo taken with santa this sat can't wait. Have fun today sweety :)

Mary- Glad that Izzy is sleeping well for u :)


Feebs- Sorry to hear that Jacob is not sleeping well for u, hope all will be better soon sweety *HUGS*

Oh sugar I forgot to mention, this question is for any of u ladies, Wat is the best cream for ezcema? Jonathan has a little case of ezcema on his chest & little bit behind his neck. I made an app to see my doc 2m about, couldn't get in today. Any suggestions? I'm not using any soaps, for bath time i'm using QV bath oil & QV lotion. I went to the chemist & they said i'm doing the right thing. They gave me DERMEEZE to use & I have used it for one week & nothing. I know I have to give it time, i'm so inpatient.

Anastasia - don't know about the ez - hopefully SW will pop in with some advice for you on that one. Re head - dunno just shaped a bit funny so going to get it checked out. Probably nothing.
And its ok that DS came into our room - we dont' mind it as long as its not the middle of the night cos he usually pops in for a cuddle until its time to get out of bed... so we don't mind him coming in - he's not a 2am visitor.

Morning!

Well mum has just left and oh f@rking hallelujah!! OMG im not going to let her stay here again.. i have been in such a bad mood since shes been here. She did absolutely nothing. After you girls mensioned that maybe she didnt want to tread on toes, i thought yeh maybe youre right. But when i had 2 kids screaming at me, while running around trying to get the turkey on and do washing.. shes too interested in making herself a friggen cup of tea, and which biscuit she can eat. This morning i have run around like a mad thing, getting both kids fed and dressed, beds made, putting 2 loads of washing on and hanging it on the clothes horses cos its bloody raining, washed bottles and dishes (including her breakfast stuff she just left on the sink!), cleaned Jesse's and Keira's rooms and the kitchen.. all while she sat on her a$$ watching tv. Never once asked if i needed a hand. Ive been so cranky with Jesse this morning just cos im in such a bad modd cos of her.. poor boy. Same all happened last night with dinner. I cooked it all and she just left her plate on the sink for me to wash up. DH had a bad headache ( he has washed up every other night) so didnt want to ask him to do the washing.. so again she sat on her butt while i washed and cleaned up.. after cooking her a friggen baked dinner. She doesnt play with the kids either.. just sits on her butt sipping her bloody cups of tea. The other night she was whinging (without saying anything, you know how people walk around with elephant feet and huff and puff) cos DH and i wanted to watch Rove and she didnt get to watch whatever she wanted. Next day all i heard was how bad tv was the night before. She also said oh ill buy Keira some tops if you like.. we get to the shops and she acts as if nothing had been said and I end up buying Keira's clothes. Ehh! Im so over it i tell you! Never bloody again. Im going very close to disowning my mother!
Ok rant over.. needed to get that out..

Kristy.. oh gawd already?? didnt you just get paid? lol what did you buy woman??? Good luck with Isaac's appointment. Yeh Friday im up for anything.. just have to wait for out inspection which is somewhere between 8.30-9.30am.

Mel.. well i think youre a hot mumma so bleehh to you lol. Oh funny little thing.. oow have you heard any foot steps in that house? When we were living at IL's house when i was pregnant with Jesse.. i was drying my hair one night in the bathroom and saw someone walk past towards the last bedroom. Thought it was DH and was waiting for him to come back to ask him something. Once i finished i went and looked in the end room and he wasnt there. He was still in our room. So went in there and told him what just happened. He then informed me that when his parents bought that house he was told by friends at school that the owners were Jehovous Witnesses and their son commited suicide in that end room. HOLEY MOLEY i was scared *****less of that house from then on and every time i woke to go to the toilet at night i would wake him and he had to wait up for me to come back. OMG it freaked me out so bad!

Morning Tasia! Not too sure about the ezcema question but im sure some of the other ladies here can help you out! ;)

Ohh i feel so much more relaxed now.. think i might go make a cuppa before i have to do some more cleaning for this inspection.

ETA.. Mel i love Mr Cool! lol so cute!!

Hi Anastasia

with eczema the best thing you can do is prevent it from getting bad. This means CONSTANT moisturising. We use Dermaveen moisturising cream - you can buy it in 500ml pump packs from the chemist. Never use soap on his skin. We always bathe Alyssa in Alpha Keri oil (followed by a good slathering of dermaveen!!). We also reapply the dermaveen on her face, arms and legs usually every second nappy change. When Jonathan is old enough to start washing his own hands and such, don't give him soap to do it with. Keep a pump pack of sorbolene by the sink for him to use. It's a cleanser as well as a moisturiser. If you really think you need something that feels a little more soap-like without being quite as drying, alpha keri wash is good. It's a bit harsh to use on little baby skin eczema-ish though.

When Alyssa gets a breakout of really dry, patchy skin we use a teeny bit of dermaid (0.5%) - which is a mild steroid. It usually clears things up within a day or two. Then back onto the dermaveen cream.

We usually buy her skin creams in bulk from one of those online chemists, but you're in Melbourne so you should have the outlets reasonably close by to save on shipping. There's a massive price difference between standard chemist prices and the bulk chemists!!

Excess heat can cause the eczema to get a lot worse, and so can bad materials. It's probably important going forward if you know that he's susceptible to eczema to make sure you buy natural materials for his clothing and bedding. We use only cotton and bamboo. Polyester can cause itching and sweating, which in turn causes eczema flare ups (or makes it worse!). We don't overdress her.

For winter, humid heat is better than dry heat. If you need to run a heater in his room, try to also run a humidifier.

That should be enough to get you on the right track!!!

on a side note, had an awesome time in Melb at lunch with Mez and Tan - your girls are both SOOOOOOOOOO beautiful!! Shame the other Melb mums couldn't make it - not every day you manage to organise peeps from multiple interstate locations to get there for a meetup!! Would have been great to meet you all (and your lovely little babies)

Pixie and Bear - also thoroughly enjoyed meeting you both. Once again, sorry for the messy state of my house!! In "sorting through the crap and getting ready to move" mode. Beth is just adorable =)))) How is she liking that spinny thing we sent you away with? Alyssa's hair is pretty cool =) Completely uncontrollable!! I'm still amazed at her lighter coloured tips =)))

Anyways - need shower while the girl is sleeping =)

waves to all

Happy 4 months today to my precious Bubbablue!
It's gone too fast already.

Kell - All I can really say about your mother is WTFFFF!? Even if she didn't do anything around the house, should could at least play with the kids. When I get in a really bad mood like that DS1 kinda cops most of it. :hug:

SW - Great to see you! With eczema is it like little patches of dry skin? and can be a little pinkish? but then the pink goes away and it's a bit drier? Is there a certain type that just flares up when it's hot but isn't there when it's not hot? Sorry about all the questions. I know I ask alot. I'm sorry.

Mel - Great pictures. That is an impressive weed! DS looks super cool. I love it. What's going on with your DD's head? Bubbablue's head is bit uneven, since he used to lay with his head mostly turned slightly to one side. It's getting better though.

Tasia - Hey sweet! Great to see you. I hope the Santa photo this weekend turns out greattttt!

Kristy - Good luck with the eye testing with Issac and the santa photos if you get them done.

It's a miserable day here today. Raining and just dull.
There was this awful tragedy here, well at the town 10-15min drive away on the coast, last night. It's so so sad. That's the first thing I heard on the news this morning when I got up. I'm not sure if you guys heard anything about it. :dunno:
Where a father and his two boys died after failing off a wharf. I know the mother. It's so so so sad. I can't even being to imagine what she's going through. :crying:

At the moment Bubbablue and I are listening to some music. Everytime a song finishes and I'm not quick to choose another song he starts his little talking noises as if to tell me "hurry up mum, next song."

lol tenny that is sooo cute!!!!!! He is so adorable - happy 4 months to him babe!!!

SW - I knew you would be the guru to ask!!!

Kel - I think i would have slapped your mother!!! Jeez - whats she think it is - a B & B or something? Next time tell her to pull her finger out and help - or pee off.. lol... I'm glad my mum doesn't do anything like that..

So now we are thinking of moving to hervey bay (getting closer to you tan!!! only about 1.5 hours from you yeah?)

Ew I stink.. its hot today.. better go apply some BO killer - even though its obviously too late to help if I already reek.. lol

:shhh: DS is sleeping..... Miss M is.. chilling in her chair.. lol

HAPPY 4 MONTHS!!! Damn, that has gone fast!

Eczema can be patches of dry skin, and yes it can be pinkish or just dry. Sometimes it can be cracked and bleeding skin (but always really dry). They don't go away without treatment, and often get worse. Some ppl only get it during hot weather, some get it all the time, so get it as a reaction to certain materials or allergies. If not treated it usually gets REALLY itchy, and frequently bleeds when scratched. Often causes bad and permanent scarring if you let it get too bad. Sweating makes it worse - so often people suffer with it in joints like elbows, under arms, etc. Alyssa gets pretty bad between her toes and on her wrist and ankle joints, and sometimes the folds of skin on her neck. She also gets it occasionally on her face and back. Actually, she pretty much gets it everywhere if we don't keep on top of it!

We're very lucky she's not a pukey baby - we don't need to bathe her too often (and bathing is one of the worst things for drying out the skin!!). Hopefully by the time she's old enough to be running around and needing bathing every day she'll be better at either helping moisturise herself, or wriggling less when we do it ;) Or she'll be like the nephew and not understand why she can't just go and play after a bath, and be really upset about having to stand around getting moisturised!!

And no probs on asking questions, they say knowledge is power ;)


Mel - hugs at ya babe =) Love ya!

Thanks SW!
Bubbablue has had this little patches of dry skin on his sides kind of under his arm. One side is a bit more then the other. It was pinkish, but when I moisturised it a few times the pink went away and it was just dry. It seems ok now and not as dry. It kind of just came up when it was really hot and humid. I did think it may be eczema but I really don't know much about it if anything at all so I wasn't sure.

Should I get some Dermaveen for it?
It can't hurt either way anyways. :dunno:

Tenny - yeah, dermaveen won't hurt either way. It's a good all round moisturiser. Things like the dermaid and other mild steroid creams should be avoided unless needed - they can lose effectiveness over time, not to mention it just not being good to use steroids wantonly!! ;)

the main thing to hold off eczema is moisturise, moisturise, moisturise!!

hi girls, havent been around for ages, been flat out and Julia not been at daycare cause the Rotavirus is going around 15 cases eeek :( How are you all? I have so much to catch up on!

Tenny hon I have bad Eczema, the only thing that helps me is Cetaphil in the shower as a body /face wash and QV cream and also when its really bad a barrier cream called Silic 15. All other products make me itchier.

We did our Santa photo today! will have to take a pic of it to show you all :)

Mel - hope that Aricyn is feeling bit better today.

SW good to see ya!

Hi to everyone will come back when the kiddies are in bed :)

Morning folks.... well it's a bit rainy today so I piked out on the MG walk.... should have gone but just couldn't get my act together this morning... DD woke at 3 with teething pain, so timing was off, my hair was wet, she was in the middle of a feed, then did a big poo etc etc. So instead I went to Birkenhead and bought another pair of new jeans..... woops.
Tenny babe, that is so sad, it's all over the news here too. The poor mother I can't even imagine how devastating it must be to just lose everything in an instant like that. The Bear and I were joking on our trip back from Melbourne that the GPS wanted us to go and visit you instead of SW..... We were on the road that heads directly into Canberra, but the GPS wanted us to go all the way round by the coast back to sydney and arrive in canberra at 2am!
:bluecheer: BIG HAPPY FOUR MONTHS TO HAYDEN! :bluecheer:
Mel - love your dog!!!! I love beagles but I hear they're very nortie!
Belle - love the new avvy hun!
SW it was sooooo great to meet you and Alyssa is such a babe! love the tips! It was so cute the way she was playing with (or maybe beating up) Beth. I'll put those photos up a bit later.
Kristy - mmmmmm sultana cake the only problem with it is, it's the easiest thing in the house to eat....
Kel - seriously I would tell your mum the next time she starts dropping hints to come and stay that she is not welcome cause she treats your house like a hotel
Anyhoo suppose I should go and do something useful... like clean the bathroom, the plumber came yesterday and put in a new hot water heater so now I can rinse & repeat without risking hypothermia!
:hello: to everyone I missed

Pixie - she was sooo norty as a puppy - OMG could have easily have given her away.. but she's a good dog now - just the boxer thats an idiot most of the time (he kicked DS in the head the other day - he's just too big and excitable!!)

Tenny - completely forgot to say anything about your friend - thats a terrible tragedy - :hug:

SW - tanks.. me wuvs you long TIME... lol
