Hi Jules!!!

How did Ryan sleep last night???

Hey ladies

Katy he didn't even stir I was laying in bed scared of the lightning and praying he wouldn't wake up so I wouldn't have to walk through a dark scary house

Hi all!
The move went smoothly, the kids are settled Mara is still a bit scared of starting at a new school, but she is doing ok
will read back later

Hi Emma!!!

Ryan is such a good boy!!!

Eliza on the other hand
She didn't go to sleep until 11:30 then was awake at 3am and then again at 8!!!
I need at least 9 - 10 hours sleep or I'm not a happy mummy!!!
Thank god Leah is back at school on Monday!!!

If anyone want a 6 yr old she is going free to any home!!!

Hey everyone! I'll get back in here for a proper post once I have caught up on all the photo processing (I have 2 sessions, as well as a weeks worth of photo a day pics to catch up on) & looming I have to do. Busy, busy, busy! Been reading a bit though

Hi y'all..

omg it's hard trying to keep L quiet so Xandy can sleep!

Tess, i just had a look at Poppys pics.. gorgeous!!!

Deb, glad your settled in your new place... Mara will settle evetually. Hows Evelyn and Sephie?

Katy, Xander had a crapish night too.. he just cant settle in the heat.. and i thinkt hats why he slept so well at the motel cos we had the air con going all night in the room... where as here at home we only have the fan in the bedrooms.. bring on winter!!!!

Emma

Evelyn an Sephie are settling beautifully , Sephie loves livng in the new house because the old one was broken, and it helps that Max is currently painting her room pink lol, girliest girl ever! (the older two chose their room colours).

He'll paint Mara's room blue next and Evelyn's room wll be green .
Our room will be dungeon grey, I am excited!

Carmen: Sephie has a habit of getting bored and going into Evelyn's room to wake her up to play, sends me nuts!

Tess: I just started watching The Tudors, so far so good if you are at a loss as what to watch next!

We've been looking at the new iPads, sounds very that time of the monthy , anywho, our macbook is on it's way out so Max might get me one evenually anyway lol

LOL Deb @ the iPad I didn't even think of that until you mentioned it! Glad the move went well The girls will settle in soon!

Katy, I need my sleep too Hope Eliza settles for you soon

Tess, thanks for dropping by You need to start that looming business!

It's looking nice and cloudy here, we're expecting a bit of rain this weekend! I hope it's not too wet for photos I don't want to reschedule as I am booked a month in advance already and I've only been in business for 2 weeks

Finally went to the library and got some new books to read!

morning!
Evelyn is clingy little rat bag today.

Belinda, I hope things work out

Hi

Bel we love you ♥♥♥

Deb, I'm having the same problem today too Hopefully he will be happier after his nap....

She's always clingy to a point, my clingist baby ever, she's just worse than usual today. Also turns ou all m kids love AC/DC very funny watching all three go nuts at the breakfast table when they came on to the radio

Belinda I hope that you are ok.

I had such a lovely day at the beach today with my mum, DH and the girls. Alana was an absolute angel. She had a nap this morning and then 20 mins on the way home. I put her down after we got home but she didn't sleep..............she was just talking and whinging......when we finally got her up she had done a poo, so that is why she probably didn't sleep. But she made it through the rest of the afternoon no probs and was down by 6.45pm. She is such a good baby....................touch wood!!!

Okay missed so much so going back to read...but....

WE ARE IN OUR NEW HOUSE!!! And net is working!!! Lots of unpacking to do but we will get there.

Bel -

And wanted to say, Dh took S and H to chidlcare yesterday for a visit, the next thing he rocks back home....he had left them there for a visit on their own. He left them there about 1/2 hour.. Well he left Hunter screaming....but he was fine by the time DH got back...he played with a little biy called Jay and apparently made him laugh...and he left S happy, but she was upset when he got back - I think she just realised Mum wasn't around - she is going through a big Mum stage at the moment. Took me a while to calm her down when she got home. They are both doing a full day on Tuesday!

becca, so glad the move went well! You got your net back very quickly, that is excellent

I think Ryan is getting another tooth, but must still be a little way off as he is sleeping all night. when he starts waking up that means something is happening...

I have newborn photos today and I'm a bit nervous but very excited! While I am away, DH is going to take Ryan to have a look at the king tide. A little boys adventure for them. It will be DH's first time taking Ryan alone in my car somewhere! And I will be driving DH's huge car

happy Sunday gorgeous ladies and bubs

p.s. it's February tomorrow. then we can say our babies are one next month

ummm... how quiet do u ladies wanna b this weekend??
hi

Hi Bel!!!

I know we've had a busy weekend with the girls getting back into some sort of routine!!!

Eliza won't settle

I better go I thing she's too hot!!!

Hey Gals, I'm back and it looks like I've got a lot of reading to do. Will attempt that tomorrow when I get half these little bastards off to school.

I have had a sh*t, absolutely sh*t, crap, crappy, sh*tty bloody holiday. I didn't get a speck of rest. There wasn't one point during the holiday where there wasn't someone chucking a tantrum. (Not including my own ) Got home a couple of hours ago and Tom has decided to have another tantrum, when all he wanted all week was to come home, whats the deal kid?! Autism sucks, have I mentioned that? Charlie decided to develop colic while we were away, and I developed a milk allergy. So after taking that out of my diet Charlie and I are both a bit better. Henry decided that 3am would be an appropriate wake up time for the last three days. I have no idea how we managed to drive home without having an accident due to fatigue, quite possibly the desire to get home keep us moving? And then there was the inlaws, OMG I could devote pages to how much those people p*ssed me off this week. I am so mad with hubby right now. Because of them I spent most of my time in the holiday house minding the kids while they went places with hubby and Lucy. I couldn't even go for a walk to the beach as I couldn't get the pram over the dunes. I got to go the beach on the last day Okay, okay enough ranting. I am just so mad about it. It was just a huge comedy of errors as usual, which as usual leaves me holding the baby and cooking for everyone. So I travelled all that way to do what I do any other day at home.
One nice thing though, Austin stood on his own while we were away and took a step on Australia Day, clever monkey. Might go and rant some more on ABG about it

Photographic talent! I been keeping up with your pics on FB gals, looking awesome. Its fantastic that you guys have taken the leap into doing some real photo shoots. They have come up so well. I hope you all make some dosh from it

Belinda, whats happening babe? I saw a couple of not so good FB updates from you, are you okay?

Bec, happy new house!

Right off to have a decent bath, and get these kids crap sorted out. Hubby has unpacked the car and sat all the bags right in the doorway. Hmmmm, helpful.

morning!! got like no sleep last nite so i'm a bit cranky today!!
hope u had a great weekend

luv belinda

Candy – welcome back. I’m so sad to hear everyone got to have a holiday except you. You are the one person who deserves a holiday the MOST!

I am so busy so am unable to go back and read whats been happening over the weekend. Sorry.

I feel really sad at the moment. A friend just added me to his Facebook and from looking at his page I have found out he was engaged about 6 months ago and his fiance is now pregnant! It's GREAT news but why didn't anyone tell me? I haven't been the best at keeping in contact with this group of friends (or anyone at all for that matter) because I have had a young baby, a toddler and poor health to deal with but I would have thought I'd at least get an sms from someone to tell me such huge news.... please no one mention this on Facebook.... I don't want anyone realising how hurt I feel. Maybe it's my own fault for not being able to keep in regular contact with everyone. I'm so glad I have you girls to be able to spit this out to.... ok.... enough sadness.... let's put on a happy face!

i'm soo sorry ur going through this atm.. it sure does get like that sometimes hey.. and believe me i'm the queen of putting on a happy face!!

for all those who were worried bout me over the weekend thanks heaps

Belinda! Oh sweetie I was worried about you and I didn't know what was going on.... I am so glad you guys are sorting it out though. I hope everything is ok, and you always have us to talk to.

Lisa, I am not the best at keeping close personal friendships either Sorry you're feeling down about this and they really should have told you or let you know. Pop on here when you can, we won't judge you if we don't see you for a while I understand how busy life is when you're working and have 2 kiddies and a hubby

Candy, welcome back! You haven't lost your sense of humour, I see

I've been so busy, like the proverbial brick layer. Omg. I have to get cracking.

Oh before I go, something Ryan did yesterday which is still mind boggling. He was in his toy room playing while I was getting things ready in the kitchen. it was 6pm, so bath time. I went to get him, he was not with his toys. Searched the spare bedrooms and found him ON THE SPARE BED. Little bugger can climb onto the bed now. We were speechless. He did it again twice today so I have closed that door Where did my baby go, can someone please tell me

xxx

I know Jules!!! They grow up so quick!!!

Eliza is almost running around the house and today when I went to pick Leah up from school Eliza thought she was the bee's knee walking around the school!!! She was very cute!!

Bel I make my own MCN'S but I'm going to have source some more water proof fabric!!!

I hope everyone had a good day!!!

Belinda, sure whenever you need. Have PM'd you my phone number or message me on FB (I tend to miss messages on EB). I hope I can be helpful?

Hi all,

Had nothing to say so havent been bothered coming in! Hope everyone is well and all the school kids got off to school ok.

Candy, what a shame your holiday wasnt what you had hoped for. that's gotta suck. Maybe you should just go away with the two little ones lol

Hubbys day off again, he's meant to be getting his new tatt.. they rang and left a msg but didnt say what time to go in and they dont open til 11am.. so will drop K & L at school and preschool then come home and call them.

Trying to meet up with Katy too but that might have to be next week. With not knowing what time this tatt is going to be and how long it's going to take and then having to be back here for 3pm preschool pick up..

anyhoo... im off bye

Morning ladies.

My sister is in labour. Hoping for a new little bubba soon!!!

So exciting.
Haven't been in much. Ted has been a little funky recently. No idea why just not himself since Friday. Still slept ok until the past two nights. Last Thursday he slept from 8 till 6 then had a feed and slept till 8!! Then he was doing 10-6am for a few nights, now he's back to 8, 11-1, 4, 6 and up at 7. Not impressed. I wonder if he's getting tooth #9? Weighed him yesterday. 11.8kg.

DH has another interview today. I really should get dressed if I'm going to make it to the library.


Hi Carmen, Hope the tatt is what you wanted.
Hi Candy, Bugger about the holiday!!
Hi Jules, super scary about the climbing!!
Katy, Eliza walks!! Wow!
Lisa, that just sucks. Try to remember that some people are kinda below average at communication. My brother is one of them. He didn't tell me that his partner was pregnant until my mum and dad threatened to tell me. His reason for not ringing- He'd been busy with work. Way to make me feel special. This is a month after he told my parents mind you!!
Belinda, Hope it all works out ok. Sounds like a tough time right now. You know you can always come in here.

Hi to everyone else.

Ok. I'm having a minor/major freakout. I've just resigned and I'm in the processes of closing everything off. Why does it freak me out so much? I feel like I should be doing something, but I have no idea what. I'm totally just blanking.

Any way feral boy is in need of something.. I'll let you know if it's a niece or a nephew!!

Nat: how excitement!

Candy: I know the feeling about holidays not being holidays.

Carmen: I need to get my next tatt, but I might wait til April when I can keep it out of the sun without over heating.

Bel:

Jules: I know the feeling!

anyone I missed:

'Aunty' Nat - Thanks, he is a guy so I guess he just doesn't think to tell everyone baby news. Baby news isnt quite as exciting for men as it is for women. I would have hoped one of our other friends would tell me but I spoke to him last night and he said he has hardly talked to this guy because he's been super busy with his own kids... made me feel a bit better. It's not me, it's just everyone's busy.

Come and tell us when you hear your baby news!

Good Morning Ladies,

It has been so so so so long since I have been in here. Have been working back full time since August and my life is just so hectic these days I don't get much spare time. I am off from work sick today. Have been sick since Friday.

Levi has his 5th and 6th teeth coming through which has given him a snotty nose and now a chesty cough. from went from sleeping all the way through the night has now been sleepless nights for me because he just coughs all night. He is off his food but at least he is still drinking his bottles.

Question for you:
I went to the health nurse this morning and she said that Levi is doing great. He still isn't crawling but does get himself around where he wants to be. He will be crawling in no time, he has always hated being on his belly. Anyway, she said that now he is almost 11 months we can start him on Cow's Milk. Is that right??? I always thought they shouldn't start cow's milk until 12 months but she said to give him 1 bottle of cows milk for the next 2 days then 2 bottles after that until the tin I have of formula is finished (which there is only half a tin left). Please help, i don't want to put him on cows milk if he shouldn't be on it yet.

How are all your little Angels going? I can't belive how fast time flys. It won't be long and they will be 1. I have started thinking about what to do for Levi's 1st birthday. How exciting it is for us monthers and they have no idea!!!!

Look forward to hearing from you, I will try to stay in touch. Even if I do pop in just once a week.

Have a great day
Beck

It's a boy. I am so thrilled. And chuffed.

Samuel James.

All doing well.

Teddy has someone to play with!! All his other boy cousins are at least 2 years older than him!

Awwww congrats to your family on the new addition!! Samuel is a great name! It's one of hubbys brothers names!

Been having a Prisoner marathon with hubby.. off to pick up the kids soon then head in to get his tatt done!

Hey Beck! Nice to see you And I think you've just answered your own question by the quote above If you don't want to start him on cows milk until 12 months, then don't! Ryan is still on formula and will be until all his tins run out which at this stage will be when he is maybe 13 months. I bought them in advance when they go on special But there is no harm for him to be on cows milk, once a day or so. Lisa's little girl has a bottle or two of cows milk per day. Do whatever you feel comfortable with

I use cows milk in Ryans cereal, his custard, mash etc. He sometimes sips it out of my glass too! He loves it.

Aunty Nat, congrats on the new arrival How wonderful

I finally upgraded my camera after weeks of deliberation. I ended up getting the Canon 50D and am now saving to buy my dream lens. I am pleased to see most of the functions are the same which is handy It's a lot bigger and heavier than my old one. So far, I love it Although I feel bad because my old camera is put away now

"Muummmmmmm muummmmmmm"

But only when he wants something

but still....

Bec - I am just now starting to introduce different drinks to Austin. So far he is not impressed with cows milk (probably not sweet enough for him )

I let hubby know I am super sh*tty with him and right now he is doing his worlds best husband act. I give him a week before he gives up on that.

It occured to me today that I have 4 kids under 4, 3 kids under 3, 2 kids under 2 or 2 kids under 1, depending on how you look at it. Woah.
