Had MG today and we learnt all about baby massage, Tara wouldn't keep still and wanted to roll all over the floor but managed to do some to her anyway. It must have had some effect though as she feel asleep after the massage and since we've been home she had her lunch and bottle and has crashed out.
So I'm gonna get me some natural massage oil and maybe start massaging her to help her sleep during the day.
Mmm, think I'm coming down with something as well... Sore throat, ear ache and headaches. Hopefully something that will pass quickly...
God, ir just took me 10 minutes to find the little wavy man to say hello, talk about procrastination when you're supposed to be studying! Just wanted to say hi.
Adam was fine after his injections, maybe a little drowzy yesterday.
I'm feeling a bit better, just a mild cold.
I'm very upset about my poor dog though, she has torn her cruciate ligament and needs surgery which apparently is only 75% successful, so basically she will never be the same again They told us that she will definitely now develop arthritis in that knee after the surgery if not before. Poor doggie, I love her so much.
Glad to hear Charlie is a trooper pooer Smithy!
KellyD - take care and hope you feel better soon.

: forgot to add something
thanks for admiring the ticker neptune i finally figured out how to do one with a pic and what better pic than my supremely cool dude lol. that's terrible about your doggie. how old? and good for Adam being good o with his needles. I'm not looking forward to that trip to the docs ... ugh.
I think i have a serious deep-thinker on my hands. but he did attempt a couple of giggles and was all smiles for my BIL who he met this mornning (my sis and him are visiting from FNQ to meet Ash )
oh dear murph... what have you got "must live near a ferry'' on your wedding certificate? lol.
smithy - we like a good crapper hahhaa. about to have a squiz at the latest pics
kellyd - go, right now and get the vitamins... specially echinecea. GO! NOW! tht's interesting about the massage. i thought it was a load of cobswallop but am reconsidering.
hi lenny!! marcellus, BG - how are you going?, Janie - feet hit the earth yet love?, Acacia are you fully recoverd??
how is the lovely BW this day?
how good is the cool change on the east coast??? yyyaayy. bit sticky now but good.
We had a very busy day yesterday... out all day so ash only got snatches of naps.... as a result he konked out at 4.30pm on our bed, i couldn't rouse him at 8pm for a feed so dreeam fed him and he didn't wake up for more till 1.30am! then straight back to bed til 5am for another few hours.
But he's met his aunty and uncle today and a GF came by so it's been a bit of overload and he was only napping, maybe doing an hour... everyone gone now so he's out cold.
But we are well. he's doing that thing were he has max 5 mins on the boob then doesn't want anymore. he was doign so well but all the sudden is fussing again. so i'm not pushing the issue like i usually do and he seems quite content and is doing lots of wet/dirty nappies. it's so confusing as a few days ago he was taking half an hour or more and feeding off both sides very happily. so we'll just keep going and i'll keep sneaking both sides inot him while he's alseep lol.
Yeah Grub, I thought the massage was a bit of a furfy as well but jeez has it made Tara sleep this afternoon.
She slept for 30 minutes at MG, came home had lunch and a bottle and down to sleep for 1 1/2 hours. She woke again starving and had a full bottle and then went back to sleep again and has been there for another 1 1/2 hours so far.
We learnt how to do leg massages and also massage the tummy to help with colic. Although Tara hasn't had colic she is very "farty bum" since starting solids so I think the tummy massage may have helped to relieve some of the wind for her. But hey I'm all for trying anything if it means she sleeps for more than 30-45 minute intervals during the day and also means she doesn't wake up crying because she has a big burp in her tummy.
Smithy: How gorgeous is your Charlie (i looked at your pics) she looks like she is very wise and has been here before. So you could be in for some trouble hehe...
aww kelly thank you hun,you are the 3rd person who has said that she looks like shes been here before wow and its quit freaky actually hun as when coops and i were going through all the ivf he lost his father to cancer and we used to talk to him through falling shooting stars and get him to help us to get a miracle baby so im truely thinking its coops dad in her and his helped us get our wish i really do ,this might sound silly to some but this is what i believe as dont they say for every death a new life is born ,im just so sad that coops dad did not get to see his grand daughter .again hun thank you .
Smithy your story gave me goosebumps, but I do believe that every baby born has a guardian angel looking over them. I'm so happy Charlie has a special angel looking over her as even though your FIL couldn't meet her in person I think that he is with her in spirit.
I'm another one who thinks there is something beyond this life (not sure what though). When I was going through the last IVF cycle, my Mum's partner died and I had to make the hardest decision ever, to keep going with the IVF and not go to the funeral. I did go down to Melb to be with her for the few days after he died and kept taking all my drugs, and then I had to go back up north for my transplant. I felt so terrible and it sounds cliche but I know he would have been so happy for us and wanted us to go through with the IVF so I chose to keep going with it. It was so much more important that this cycle was the one that produced our miracle. She really was the sunshine after the rain. My Mum always says when a door closes, a window opens. I'm not sure I know what that means, but I like the thought of it. It's a lovely story Smithy and I'm sorry your FIL couldn't be around, but I'm sure you feel he is there sometimes.
