awe cute, enjoy the baptism. We aren't overly religious either, but we are both baptized Catholic, and so we baptized Kash as well. Be sure to post some pics

so glad you finally got paid Luce! Drive Safe

That is terrible for Allie. I hope Alistair is ok

 

[hoping:)]

Mel- Sounds like you have a lot in store for your house this weekend. Enjoy the pool with Kash!

Amanda- Yay for an awesome sleep schedule. . I hope you can catch on some sleep during her long naps. I love nap time because I can actually get stuff done. When Penny is awake she is like a little tornado.

Lucy- I’m so glad he finally got paid. Stressing over money is not something you need right now. You have a lot of will power to hold out on knowing the gender until the birth. It will be a lovely surprise and I remember you recalling how beautiful that moment was with Ben.

I hope Alistair is feeling better and that the meet up works out as planned!

Vicky- it seems like sizes vary from brand to brand. I love to buy dresses because when Penny out grows them I can still keep my favorites and let her wear them as shirts.

Round- You do have a big boy! Its nice of you to do the baptism for your husband’s family and plus you can have fun with the cake and dressing up the kids. I’ve been wondering about baptism myself. I’m not sure if we should do it when she is little or let her decide. I believe in God with all my heart but not really sure what religion I would fully associate myself with. I guess I would consider myself more spiritual than religious.

AFM- tonight the 3 of us are driving to New Mexico to see my family and catch up with some old friends. I’m not excited about the drive but looking forward to seeing my family again.

I hope the meet up went well...we need updates

[msarkozi]

[hoping:)]

[NatoPMT]

congratulations!!!

two little girls. just perfect. sniffle

Allie, Alex, Alistair, Lucy and Ben came round this morning and Steve popped in too - was lovely, fantastic to meet them at last. The babies all played together and Alex and John talked about boys things while we all had a gossip and chased after the babies. Poor Alistair was a bit out of sorts after the flight and his hospital visit but coped admirably apart from when he got trapped behind some toys and the walls started closing in on him. The boys were very taken with Eloise's pink walker and Ben had his eye on Eloise's trike and anything purple. Allie and I got collared by some Jehovah's Witnesses who kept pushing the door open as I was trying to close it on him. Lucy looked amazing with her teeny bump and Eloise showed off her tombliboo dance

Sassy and Jen didnt make it but got some pics to download from my camera sometime in the next 3 months.

 

[Sparkly]

That sounds like a lovely meet up nato, I'm so happy that more of the Disco Ladies are meeting each other Can't wait for the pics!!

 

[Round2]

Congrats Sparkly!!

Sounds like a wonderful meet-up. So jealous!!

 

[heart tree]

Wonderful news Sparkly! Yay for girls!!

Nato, please post pics as soon as possible. I need to live vicariously through you. Sounds like a grand time.

Amber, have fun in New Mexico. How long is the drive?

Yogi, is the babe ok? What a scare. Let me be the last person to have a preemie on the Disco thread, ok?

Round, I spoke too soon. Delilah had a terrible night last night. Up at midnight, 1:30, 4:20, and 6am. We brought her into bed at 6 and she slept until 7:45. She had a rough time going down for her first nap this morning too. I had 3 nights of good sleep and now it's gone again. I'm so tired I hurt. So I have no advice. The only thing I can think is that the solids make her constipated. I give her lots of prunes and pears to help clear her out. She didn't poop yesterday but was straining to. This morning she had a nice big one. I'm hoping that means she'll sleep better tonight.

 

[Sugarlove2]

Lucy, fab news about your scan!

Sparkly, twin girls how wonderful!

Round, hope the christening went well. Can't believe Bryce is fitting into 12-18 mnth clothes We got Charlotte christened at 7 weeks, she looked so little and cute. Not sure how I managed it so quickly looking back.

Hoping, have a lovely time with your family. Hope the drive is not too arduous.

How you doing Yogi? Hope baba is staying put for the time being.

Hearty, sorry to hear you had a bad night. Hope tonight is better. Charlotte was totally unsettled last night too and after trying for an hour to settle her, eventually brought her in bed with us. Had a rubbish night's sleep as she jerks and I don't relax with her in the bed.

That's fab that you girls managed to meet up. Sounds like you had a lovely time. Looking forward to seeing the pics. Nato, get off your butt and get them up. Hoe many dpo are you now? You must be in the testing window now are you? Fingers crossed!

 

[LucyJ]

Amazing news Sparkly so happy for you

Had a fantastic time today was lovely to meet the girls their hubbies and gorgeous babies. The little one played so lovely together and Benjamim didnt bat an eyelid about going into a house he didnt know he was right in there checking out Elosies toys, putting the washing machine and basically explorering the whole place

Alistair is such a sweetie and did really well after his flight and a&e trip. Eloise dance skills were very good think Benjamin picked up a few tips as hes been dancing around since we got back to mum and dads. Not sure how impressed she was with Benjamins driving skills when she was in her trike or him having a go.

Lucy and Allie are just lovely and so pleased I got to meet them. Thank you girls for a fab time. Sorry jen and sassy couldnt make it hope tou and your babies are feeling better.

Amanda I have pics too but wont be able to upload them untill I get home tomorrow.

 

[yogi77]

That's so great that you got together, can't wait to see the pics!

I am doing great now, feeling good and baby is doing well. Had an appt on Thursday and everything looked good and baby was active and hb was 160. Hope he or she has settled back in there for a few more weeks!!

 

[vickyd]

Congrats Sparkly!!!!!!!!

super envious of the disco meet up!!! im missing something though..What happened to Alistair and he ended up in A&E???????????????

We have carnival these two weeks here, i dressed hero as a pirate after asking her 10 times if she wanted to be a princess, a pirate or a witch. Today when i was getting her costume ready to go to a party she started saying NO, No i want to be a princess!!! What a kid!! In the end i said i was gonna wear her costume and she started screaming no im the pirate so she wore it haha!!

Hearty i remember up until Hero turned 16 months she hadnt slept for more than 3 hours straight. All those months i thought, teeth, hunger, constipation ect. In the end i just accepted that my lo is a bad sleeper and i stopped hoping for better sleep. Now i know its the norm so it doesnt bother me anymore. i have also learnt to live on very bad sleep. For example Thursday night she wouldnt settle for anything so we were up at 4 am watching Dora the explorer till 7 when i left her to go to work. I worked till 6 pm then picked her up from my mom and tooke her to soft play till 9. I put her to sleep at my mom's and took a shower and went clubbing till 4 am. Everyone was looking at me like a freak but seriously i wasnt tired!!!

 

[LucyJ]

Thats great news yogi hope baby doesnt give you any more scares.

Wow Vicky I dont know how you do it no way could I go out clubbing till 4am Id end up a sleep in the corner Alistair had a really high temperature so Alex took him to a&e on the friday to get him checked out hes got an ear infection poor little thing and was put on antibiotics.

We're back home now after a lovely weekend got to spend mothers day with my lovely mum which was a bonus.

Happy Mothers Day to all.

 

[heart tree]

Vicky you are officially my hero (no pun intended). Clubbing until 4am after a night like that? You must be thinking I'm a complainer! I need some of your energy.

Well after all of my complaining, Delilah decided to sleep for 10.5 hours straight, wake to nurse, and then back to sleep for another 3 hours! I woke up after she was asleep for 9 hours as my boobs were killing me and I'm not used to getting that much sleep in a row. I was convinced she wasn't alive. I refrained from going into her room to check though. She had scooted to the end of her crib so I couldn't see her on the monitor. Finally after being awake for 1.5 hours, she woke up and I got to relieve my boobs! I couldn't believe she slept for 3 more hours after that. Tim and I were up before her. Crazy! I hope for another night like that tonight. Please god.

Pictures please from the Disco meet up.

 

[vickyd]

Haha Hearty no i dont think you are a complainer!! I feel you girl i do, I just gave up expecting her to sleep well ages ago and tried to adjust my life to little sleep. I hope Delilah is nothing like Hero and you get your sleep on track. I have a friend who's son slept through from 12 weeks, he was nursed till 18 months. What she would do is when awaken from boobie pain she would take a bucket that she always had next to her and hand pump the milk into it and go back to sleep haha!!! She had a super supply though, literally milk was always oozing out of her breasts. I asked her to nurse Hero a few times when i was at her place, especially at the beginning when i was trying to get some sort of supply going. Unfortunately Hero never latched on properly to the boob..

 

[msarkozi]

Sounds like a great meet up and I can't wait to see pictures!

Took Kash swimming on the weekend and he just loved it. He likes to go on those floating mats, stand on them, and dive off fast first. Another mom was just watching in shock that he was doing this. He seriously has no fear of the water. I am registering him in swim lessons again that start in a few weeks. They will run every Saturday until June 15th (which I am sure hoping I can still get into my bathing suit lol).

I'm so jealous of some friends. They were down in the city watching the Brier (it's a big curling match that takes place over a week). Well they ended up winning the 50/50 draw and won $70,820!!!!! It was 3 couples, so they split it between them. So amazing to win that. I said to Gord this morning, could you imagine just pocketing $23,600?! I am happy for them, but jealous lol!

 

[VGibs]

Mel - Ya when i was on mat leave my lottery group won $40,000. It was the first week I didn't participate. The worst was having to listen constantly all summer about how they went on fancy vacations and their new boats and what not. They constantly rub my face in it.

 

[hoping:)]

Nato, Lucy and Allie- I loved reading about your meet up and like the other girls I’m envious that you all got to finally meet in person! We need pictures ASAP… 3 months, Nato?! Unacceptable. It sounds like a lovely time was had and I can’t wait to see the 3 disco babies and their mommies together

Yogi- I’m glad to hear all is well with baby.

Vicki- you are amazing! I don’t know how you function on so little sleep. If Penny wakes once in the night I am on zombie mode the whole next day

Amanda- I hope the good sleep continues. You will still have the odd bad night but it gets so much better.

Mel- Kash sounds like he will love the swim lessons. He is pretty talented already being able to dive off the floating mat. How exciting for your friends! I’m jealous too and I don’t even know them. $23,600.00 would be very handy right about now

AFM- got back from NM at 3 am this morning. We had lots of fun with my family and are actually going back this coming weekend and then again for Easter It's a 6-7 hour drive so not too horrible.
