January & February Mummies 2008

Aww Yay for both girls being dry yesterday JC Hope you have a good trip. Looks like everyones supposed to have rain all weekend so you might be in luck

LB, with the x-rays marked urgent I wonder if you might even get some results back today. Fancy little Ollie crawling already ... that time has gone so quick!

LOL at the shopping list TA, when DP and I first started living together, all he knew how to cook was steak, eggs and chips. And the other day he did some shopping and came home with Whittakers White Chocolate with Macadamias.

Have to do our shopping this morning, we have nothing in the house. We've got our cg combined birthday tomorrow aftrernoon and I got allocated "nibbles" for the bbq. I'm not quite sure what that entails though, I was thinking of sausage rolls, potato chips, that sort of thing.

Edited by Freesia

Morning!!

 

Freesia I would think along those lines too for nibbles.  Z has an obsession with sausage rolls at the moment, he would eat them for all 3 meals a day if I let him lol!  Have fun at the combined party!

 

Crossing fingers for rain for you Julia! Otherwise have a great weekend!!

 

Arent the hospital gowns glam Jane! Hope you get results back fast!  I got my appt yesterday, it is on the 4th Feb (isnt that Chloes bday??).  Little bit nervous and it isnt the most pleasant experience but Im sure it will be fine.  Let us know as soon as you hear anything ok!

 

Nothing too exciting planned for today, cant believe there is only ONE more week of school hols left! Have been busy organising next term, I am going to be a bit of a taxi driver! Mon morning Drew at Porse, Leo at morning kindy (Mummys free morning!) and same again Tuesday.  Weds Leo is going to change days and go to his carer in the morning and I am going to take Drew to Kindy Gym which is a kiddies gym class, he will LOVE it!  thurs leo at morning kindy and d and I will go get groceries,  Friday there is a playgroup in the afternoon.  I also need to fit Zs swimming lessons in there somewhere. 

 

I love that Drew is a little boy now and seeing him play and interact with his brothers, he is such a joy I do miss my little baby though! No chance whatsover of DH coming around to another one though, he turned 40 last year and thinks he is getting a bit old for more lol!  I'll be 35 the year D goes to school so I guess the skies the limit, I need to start thinking about what I want to be when I grow up!

LOL at "when you grow up" Char

Yay Julia, hope you feel pampered after your haircut! Before and after photos please

Haha Freesia, when DH and I got together it was me that didn't have a clue how to cook, and he was a chef! I think I lucked out there

The kidlets are being little angels this morning - thank goodness, because Ollie had me up just about every hour with teething pains. Poor chappy. I woke DH up around 5.30 and asked him to go get Ollie some more pamol, and when Ollie started crying again at about 6ish, DH was like "it's your turn"... little did he know I had been up about 12 times in the night! Bah, men. Lol.

Chloe keeps saying "sorry" to everything.
Bangs into something - "sorry Chloe."
Spills milk on herself - "sorry Chloe."
Trips over something - "sorry Chloe."
Drops Daddy's watch - "oh sorry."
Drops her vitamin - "oh sorry."
And all in a genuinely concerned voice

Char, what's that saying "you're only as old as the woman you feel" Bit of a bummer that DH doesn't want anymore kids because you're such a great mum, but you have 3 wonderful boys to watch grow up already so you've done well.

I've splurged and used all our visa money on booking Livvy into a gym type class for this semester too. We've had no activities on for ages so I'm sure she's going to love getting out and about and I'll be 35 weeks when it finishes so it's my last chance to do something like that specifically with her.

Enjoy the haircut LF. You deserve a bit of a pamper after all the working out and party preparation you've been doing. And that's the good thing about parties, you can live off the leftovers for a few days afterwards usually

I hope the kids stay good for you today LB and that Ollie sleeps a bit better tonight. That's so cute Chloe saying sorry for everything. Livvy has said it probably 3 times and 2 of those times we were sitting there with her for about 10 mins trying to get her to say it. She's like her mum and HATES to say sorry

It's really windy here and making things nice and cool ... thank goodness.

Oh Char, I forgot to tell you that I got the book yesterday thanks so I'll get stuck into it and get it back to you ASAP. Thank you so much

yay for Jackson using the potty on his own, that is great.

Emz - about a year after I had Sophie my hair was a real mess - so much fell out starting when she was about 4 months and the regrowth was terrible. I hadn't had it cut for about 10 months and it was way too long so just after Easter (once mum & dad were in Welly) I chose a new hairdresser from the phone book and took the plunge. She just off about 10 inches and totally re-shaped it. She also put a colour in it - that was a great idea as it conditioned the hair and gave the wispy re-growth some body.

That reminds me - I am about 3 months overdue for a cut and it is getting too long for summer. *must book in for next week*

does the budget stretch to a supermarket hair die? I have always used them to die my hair a darker/richer chocolate brown and found that they made the condition of my hair so much better as it tends to be a bit dry if I don't get it cut regularly (which I never seem to manage to do!!).

Wow that's so clever emz. I'm far too chicken to have a go myself so I just wear it in a pony tail all the time. Very boring.

Go Jack! That's so clever.

Looking forward to tomorrow Julia. Man I can't wait to see you guys IRL

We had a shocker day here yesterday. Been following the Plunket Lac Consultant's advice and dropping the morning bottle but it's not working at all. So I've decided the bottle stays until the shields are gone. Doing both at once is doing my head in.

She had a horrid day yesterday. 2 hourly feeds from 2pm and pulling off and screaming at me. The LC had said if she got bad then to give her a bottle top up. Unfortunately she wouldn't take that either. Finally got her down at about 10:30pm only to have her wake at 2am for a feed rather than 4am and then wake at 4am to grizzle. So I slept in 2 hour bursts.

So this morning started off the same. She didn't have a good feed so I said to DH to give her a top up immediately but she's still really unsettled (not as bad as yesterday yet) so that's it as far as I'm concerned.

Hugs Bobbie Sounds stressful! You have done so well to BF her this far.

It must have been a night for little sleep....  Silly me went to bed at 12.00, and Ashlee woke at 4.30  I gave her a bottle but she just wasn't happy.  She had also wee'd through so trying to change the cot with her screaming and Daniel asleep was not happening.  She went back to sleep at 9.00 this morning.  I'll be in bed early tonight!

In the limited sleep I did have I had the most vivid dream, I was pregnant and in labor but for some reason we were at the shopping centre, i went to go to the toilet and ended up delivering...  I can still picture it all.  And the baby was just beautiful. 

Gosh I haven't had a haircut since March last year.  I just cover with supermarket colours...  One day I will find the time.

Bobbie, so is Morgan not happy with boob or bottle?  It must betough, doesn't everyone always say give it time.... How old was Rowan when it all sorted itself? 

Janey, your outting sounds like fun.  Tis great that your GF is able to join you in mummy outtings now.

 

I sent my secret baby present off earlier this week, but it won't be too much of a secret because of the declaration I had to fill out :) and the fact that it is coming from Australia.  If I was clever I should have sent it to one of the other mummies and got them to send it on...  Next time.

Right my little ferals are at the cherry tomoatoes again.  Picking all the green ones off.  Monsters!
